NEO visits Sendai Girls


It was a busy weekend for NEO. Along with their usual Sunday show, they went to Sendai Girls for two shows. The Mar. 14 show was at the Watari Townsman Gym and the Mar. 15 show was at Zepp Sendai. It was the usual results that we've seen since the beginning of Sendai Girls. But what you all want to know is how did Sendai Girls use Hiren's OZ Academy heel turn. They didn't. Of course I disagree with that because all those girls could use some personality but I'm not surprised. It hasn't been mentioned on their website and that's where the local fans will go. And though fans are quick to blame Meiko Satomura, the "living in a vacuum" approach is typical of Sendai Girls owner Jinsei Shinzaki. That's what he does in Michinoku Pro. I guess he wants Sendai Girls to be a strictly regional promotion.





First, here's the results for the Mar. 14 Watari Townsman Gym show. Aya Yuki defeated Hiren with the STF at 9:25. Etsuko Mita defeated Ryo Mizunami with the Death Valley Bomb at 10:17. Yoshiko Tamura defeated Sachiko SENDAI with a suplex at 11:40. Misae Genki defeated DASH Chisako at 5:33. Haruka Matsuo defeated Tyrannosaurus Okuda with a diving body press at 15:33. The one NEO rookie that they might get to job is Nagisa Nozaki and she's out right now. Otherwise, I'm not surprised.





The Mar. 15 Zepp Sendai show began with the usual intros by Tyrannosaurus Okuda & Yoshiko Tamura. The opener was Etsuko Mita vs DASH Chisako. Mita takes control with her size advantage and nails Chisako with a piledriver. Chisako comes back with elbow smashes but Mita gets a 2 count after a knee to the back of the head. Chisako hits two missile dropkicks but Mita nails her with several chops. Mita wins with the Death Valley Bomb at 9:54. Next was Hiren vs Yoshiko Tamura. This was the same Hiren we've seen on all the Sendai Girls shows. Tamura stomps her but Hiren comes back with several dropkicks followed by an ankle lock. Tamura gets to the ropes. Tamura hits a DDT and a double arm salto and finishes Hiren with a rolling senton at 10:30.





Next was Sachiko Sendai vs Haruka Matsuo. Sachiko comes out with a lot of energy with dropkicks, a rolling senton, missile kicks and a swinging DDT. After a suplex, Matsuo comes back with a face buster. After Sachiko misses a missile dropkick, Matsuo uses a German suplex for the win at 12:46. Next was Ryo Mizunami vs Misae Genki. Once again a big size difference. Genki hits three chops. Mizunami attempts a tackle but fails. She tries elbow smashes. A Genki body ram ends that followed by an atomic drop. Nizunami comes back with dropkicks and a guillotine. She tries another from the top rope and misses. Genki hits three guillotines, two lariats and a choke slam for the win at 9:09. Mizunami is bleeding from the nose.





The main event has Tyrannosaurus Okuda defending her JWP Junior & POP Titles against Aya Yuki. They begin by exchanging blows and then tackles. Okuda with a neck throw followed by a surfboard. Yuki comes back with stomps, two atomic drops and a camel clutch. They exchange elbows and then Achilles locks to show how even they are. Okuda hits a face dropkick. Yuki comes back with a face buster and an STF. Okuda hits two missile kicks and a backdrop. Yuki responds with chops and a brain buster. Okuda hits a knee from the top rop followed by a German suplex. But she goes to the top again and misses and Yuki hooks an STF. Okuda uses her power to escape and after a German suplex and two jumping knees, she retains the titles at 12:29.





Sendai Girls also announced the participants for this juniors tournament that will begin on April 22. This is for wrestlers with less than three years experience. Of course all the Sendai Girls will be involved along with Hanako Kobayashi & Ayako Sato from Ito Dojo. Wait a minute. Sato has more than three years experience. Kana along with Hiroyo Matsumoto & Misaki Ohata from Ibuki, Arisa Nakajima, Aska Ohki & Mayuca Niizeki from JWP and The Shirai Sisters & Mika Mizunumi from Maheken. The brackets will be announced later. I expect this to be a real mixed bag.
