Bolshoi running yet another tag team tournament


JWP is running yet another #1 contender tournament to find a contender for Yumiko Hotta & Kei'to's JWP/Daily Sports Tag Teame Titles. Semi final matches were on the Mar. 8 Kitasenju Theater 1010 show. Didn't Commando Bolshoi run a similar tournament a couple of months ago? Well, that's the problem. Boslshoi needs to come up with fresh ideas. In this case, because the heat is between Hotta & Bolshoi, they should have focused on that. Bolshoi and her partner Megumi Yabusahita faced GAMI & Yumi Ohka in one semi final. It was a nice polite match and they even got GAMI to take it easy with the comedy. A lot of the match featured Ohka & Yabushita but Bolshoi got the pin on GAMI with a rollup at 19:48. The other semi final had Toshie Uematsu & Ran YuYu vs Kaori Yoneyama & Sakura Emi. It was very similar. Yoneyama & Emi hit moonsaults on Ran follwed by a Yoneyama senton. But Uematsu hit a missile dropkick on Yoneyama and Ran won over Yoneyama with a rollup at 14:43. The winning teams had a staredown afterwards. Of course the leadup to Haruyama/Hyuga continued when Kyoko Haruyama & Arisa Nakajima won over Azumi Hyuga & Tojuki Leon. Nakajima distracted Hyuga and Haruyama won over Hyuga with a lariat at 16:24. It's standard JWP booking. Kei'to won over Chiharo Oikawa with a shining wizard at 8:00 and Tsubasa Kuragaki was on the losing side in her return from a broken leg. Sachie Abe & KAZUKI won over Kuragaki & Pinkie Mayuca when KAZUKI used a Manhattan Drop on Mayuca at 13:04. I guess the problem was Hotta wasn't on this show so Bolshoi had to work around that.
