- (Vacant All Japan Junior Title) Saemi Numata vs Akemi Torisu
So 2 days after winning the title last month, Yuki Lee would vacate thus leading to another decicion match here. Only around 90 seconds of highlights. You don't really WANT to see Numatchi vs Akemi Torisu fight it out for any length of time but what was shown didn't look like the worst match ever either. Torisu mainly dominated in what was shown and won pretty easyily, forcing Numata down with one of those semi shoot looking pins the Zenjo rookies sometimes did.
- Kaoru Ito vs Miori Kamiya
One of those matches designed to show how much the lower ranked wrestler has grown. They clipped this up but what aired largely had Ito in controll, stomping down Kamiya & stretching her on the mat. It wasn't until she made 1 mistake and got outsmarted that she ended up on the losing end after Kamiya gets her with a kick in the ass followed by a German. Probably really in good in full i'd imagine but we only got a few mins.
- Bat Yoshinaga & Tomoko Watanabe vs Mima Shimoda & Suzuka Minami
Again clipped to just a couple of minutes. Funny moment as everyone gets crossed up, not knowing whear to go during a dive train sequence near the end, other then that just your standard, decent tag from the looks of things. Shimoda over Watanabe with the Superfly splash.
- (All Japan Title) Takako Inoue (c) vs Mariko Yoshida
Basic stuff to start but things really get going a few around the half way mark when Takako takes over and gos after Yoshida's leg. Nothing fancy but Yoshida puts it over like a champ and makes it seem like she's in the fight of her life. Tide gets turned when she and Yoshida returns the favor and starts going after Takako's leg all the while still selling her own from earlier. Cool moment as they go into the stands, Takako ends up on the floor clutching her knee and Yoshida hobbles over and just casually tosses a chair straight at her head. Turns into a battle of who can break who's leg for a while longer with Takako taking back over. Near the end they go into a little bit of "ow i'm hurt except when i'm doing this move, ok now i'm hurt again" type selling, especially Yoshida but it's not overly excessive and they both continue to put over the leg work strong with Inoue getting some nice near falls off flash submission attempts. Yoshida finally comes out on top though, after a double underhook superplex off the top nearly droping Takako on her head. Damn good match.
- Debbie Malenko & Sakie Hasegawa vs Bison Kimura & Aja Kong
Not quite a glorified squash but almost. Jungle Jack probably take about 80% of this and it's not until half way through that Sakie & Deb get any major offense in on them. Along the way, Sakie ends up having to get her ribs taped up which makes for some cool dramatic moments watching her claw and fight her way through the pain. At one point she goes nuts, getting ahold of Bison's night stick and swings away at Aja but it has little effect and the beat down continues. Aja repays her with some nasty trash can shots for her trouble. Her & Debbie make one last ditch effort but like all their previous attempts it's cut off before it ever reallyg gets going and Sakie falls to Aja after a brutal looking choke slam. Not as competitive as i'd have liked but hey, Jungle Jack beat downs are never not fun and this was no exception so I enjoyed this.
- Kyoko Inoue & Yumiko Hotta vs Manami Toyota & Toshiyo Yamada
Total sprint style match with too many highlights to really single anything out. Hotta & Kyoko made for a good team considering they hadn't really taged that much previously. Of Course it helped that these 4 have all worked together a million times so you know what to exspect. Yamada picks up the win over Hotta after a diving kick upside the noggin. Good stuff
