Mixed Tag Match:
Tomoko Miyaguchi & Gedo (Fuyuki Promotions)
vs.
Tomoko Kuzumi & Jado (Fuyuki Promotions)

The JWP women were obviously way better than Fuyuki's cronies. They did a bit of double teaming, but for the most part it was woman vs. woman and man vs. man (which is what the rules called for). It was a short match that was kind of sloppy and had no build to the finish. Kuzumi & Miyaguchi didn't work as well together as they normally do, but Miyaguchi was still the best of the four. 9:47.

Michael: Like you said, the work here wasn't as strong as usual from the dueling Tomoko's. However, I enjoyed this match a lot more then the Battlarts mixed tag from 5/10 because at least this match was treated seriously instead of Gedo and Jado acting like horny little assholes.

Keith: The main heat segments of this match were on Gedo whenever he'd pull a move on Kuzumi. Thus, the best and most gratifying move in the entire match was lifted from Chono and the American promotions, Kuzumi employing a back kick to Gedo's nuts. I think everyone who saw that move applauded Kuzumi for something we've been waiting a long time to see. Even if the match wasn't good, the focus was in that the final pin came between the two JWP girls, rather than Fuyuki's boys.
