Hikaru & Emoto win ZEAL CUP


Pro Wrestling SUN had two shows on the weekend. It started with the Sept. 22 Shinjuku FACE show. The opener had Kana make her return to the ring against Nanae Takahashi. Kana wore a new costume and had a new theme. Kana gets in some offense but Takahashi blocks a German suplex. Then a missile kick for a two count. Takahashi hits a high kick in the corner for a two count and finally a shoulder block for the win at 10:42. Next was Shuu Shibutani vs Bullfight Sora. These two are going to Mexico together soon. So they discuss Sora's costume for a while. They finally get the match going and Shibutani wins with a flying head scissors at 8:27.





Next was Toshie Uematsu & ZEST.CO vs Natsuki*Taiyo & Fuuka. If Uematsu beats Fuuka, she gets her own photo book. I've seen ZEST.CO's costume and it's impossible to tell who she is. Uematsu stomps on a Fuuka bikini shot. So the match is going along and Uematsu whips Fuuka into the corner and the middle rope breaks. Apparently this wasn't planned so they had to improvise the finish. Uematsu talked Fuuka into letting her win the match at 12:34. Uematsu gets her photo book and the ring was repaired.





Hikaru gets her rematch with Aja Kong. Of course Aja dominated. She nailed her with everything and busted her open with a chair. Aja won with a diving elbow drop at 16:32. The mainevent was Nanae Takahashi & Saki Maemura vs Azumi Hyuga & Tojuki Leon. Of course this is supposed to set up the upcoming Takahashi/Hyuga match. So they weren't in there together much and Takahashi used the Nanarack on Leon for the win at 22:15.





The Sept. 23 show at Aquamarine Kimitsu was for the ZEAL CUP tag team tournament with a prize of a million yen. The teams of Nanae Takahashi & Natsuki*Taiyo and Shuu Shibutani & Kana got first round byes. The first round matches had Kayoko Haruyama & Arisa Nakajima over Saki Maemura & Fuuka at 18:23 when Haruyama used a lariat on Maemura. Hikaru & Atsuko Emoto defeated Aja Kong & ZEST.CO when Aja accidently hit ZEST.CO with the back fist and Emoto used a World's #1 on ZEST.CO for the win at 9:41. In the first semi final, Nanae Takahashi & Natsuki*Taiyo defeated Kayoko Haruyama & Arisa Nakajima at 12:07 when Takahashi used the NANA*MOMO driver on Nakajima. Hikaru & Atsuko Emoto defeated Shuu Shibutani & Kana when Hikaru used a Kusha Rhythm on Kana at 13:19. Afterwards, Kana was told her grandfather died and she dedicated her career revival to him.





So now the final with Nanae Takahashi & Natsuki*Taiyo vs Hikaru & Atsuko Emoto. I guess the idea was to show the SUN teams are stronger than the other teams. It was a spirited battle. The end came when Takahashi's NANA*MOMO driver misfired. Hikaru hit a missile lick on Natsuki*Taiyo while Emoto battled with Takahashi outside the ring. This allowed Hikaru to get the win over Natsuki*Taiyo with the Lanakila-H at 19:50. Hikaru & Atsuko Emoto win the ZEAL CUP tournament. Afterwards, they talked about this being the first time they had ever teamed up and Emoto talked about spending her share of the million yen in Mexico. It's good to see them throw Hikaru a bone once in a while. It was also announced that Kana is now part of the SUN roster.
