Someone's going bald in OZ Academy


OZ Academy's Mar 30 Taisho Azeria show in Osaka set up the main angles for the Apr. 12 Differ Ariake show. They also held a press conference today to announce the full card and the stipulations for the Mayumi Ozaki/Carlos Amano match. I'll get into the specifics later but one of them will have a chrome dome afterwards. They're also going to come up with a name for the Aja Kong Army. They're having a special fan event this
Saturday where all the factions will appear seperately. Nice touch. And Lady's Ring magazine is helping get fans to send in new theme songs for the OZ wrestlers. So they're busy.





The opener had Devil Masami over Sonoko Kato with the Fire Valley at 13:18. They've been doing these matches for the soon to retire Devil as tribute matches. Then Dynamite Kansai beat Tomoka Nakagawa with the diving foot stomp at 10:02. It's what you would expect. Kansai no sold Nakagawa's offense and won easily. Next was Aja Kong with her new protege Hiroyo Matsumoto vs AKINO & Ran YuYu. The idea behind this match was to test Matsumoto. From what I can tell she did pretty well. The end came when Aja nailed her by mistake and AKINO used a hurricanrana on Matsumoto for the win at 19:31. Aja seemed happy with her afterwards.





Next was KAORU vs Manami Toyota. Before the start, Police & Mika Nishio come out and attack Toyota with chairs & chains. But Aja Kong comes out for the save. She no sells a KAORU chair shot and clobbers KAORU. It's utter chaos in the ring. KAORU misses a moonsault press
and Toyota uses the rolling cradle for a two count. Then a backdrop and a missile kick for another two count. Nishio & Police return and Toyota is beaten with a steel chair followed by a brain buster on the chair. Toyota comes back with the Queen Bee Bomb. KAORU rolls outside
the ring and Aja is waiting for her. She also fights off Police & Nishio. Back in the ring, KAORU hits two Excaliburs but pulls Toyota up at two. KAORU goes up for a moonsault press but Toyota gets her boots up and nails KAORU. Toyota hits the Japanese Ocean Suplex but Police & Nishio hit her with the chair. The three trap Toyota and KAORU is going to finish her of with The Green Mist but she hits Nishio by accident. Aja nails KAORU & Nishio with the back fist and kicks police to the floor. Toyota hits the Japanese Ocean Queen Bee Bomb for the win at 10:45.





The weird thing about the main events with Mayumi Ozaki & Hiren vs Carlos Amano & Chikayo Nagashima is there wasn't anything unusual about it. There was no D-Fix interference. It was a standard match with Nagashima pinning Hiren with a Fisherman Buster at 14:58. So they announced the complete card for the Apr. 12 Differ Ariake show at today's press conference. Of course the main event is Mayumi Ozaki vs Carlos Amano for control of OZ Academy along with the OZ Academy Title. The loser has her head shaved. There's no time limit, no DQ, no countout & falls count anywhere. And they can use weapons. Here's where it gets a little silly. Amano's Carlos Ghosn finisher is banned and outside interference is banned. That doesn't mean anything if there's no DQ. Anything goes. It should be fun because Ozaki is very good at this kind of stuff. Other matches are KAORU, Takako Inoue & heel in training Hiren vs AKINO, Manami Toyota & Ran YuYu. Ran has had to drop out of the JWP league with a back injury so we don't know if she'll be ready. There's also hikayo Nagashima & Sonoko Kato vs Yoshiko Tamura & Misae
Genki, Aja Kong & Hiroyo Matsumoto vs Dynamite Kansai & Tomoka Nakagawa, Devil Masami vs Kana, Leatherface vs Shirigami and GAMI vs Bullfight Sora. Well, I guess they need a
couple of time wasters on the show.
