Results, December 9-14

The major news of the week was the conclusion of the OZ League and the comeback of Ayumi Kurihara. Both of these shows took place at Shinjuku FACE. Ayumi broke trends and won her first match back, over Shu Shibutani. She then was involved in all 3 falls of the main event, submitting to Nanae Takahashi before getting a flash pin on her mentor AKINO. AKINO spoiled the fun by hitting the AKI-Exploder to take the final fall.

In OZ land, Hiren beat Tomoka Nakagawa with help from the usual suspects. Manami scored some revenge on Aja Kong by taking the fall from Kong with the Queen Bee Bomb. Dynamite Kansai returned with her trademark short blonde hair (what has grown back since August) and trimmer, having dropped 13 kg. She vowed to "smash" the Ozaki Army and step one went well, as KAORU lasted less than 2 minutes before Splash Mountain. Kansai vows to get Hiren, Takako, Toyota, and finally Ozaki. Hiren should be scared. I see a Splash Mountain or a Footstomp or Die Hard Kansai in her near future.

The finals were marred by typical Mayumi bullshit. Weapons and interference had been banned, but Ozaki mentioned at the last possible moment that "Oh, POLICE is the referee". Ozaki then beat Chikayo for the title shot as POLICE can count to three much faster than Sachiko Ito can. Oh, and "Principal" Carlos Amano was supposedly hurt and can't anticipate that Ozaki will always try to pull a fast one.
