1/23/98 Kanagawa Kawasaki Shi Taiikukan
JWP Nintei Tag Senshuken Jiai:
Devil Masami & Hikari Fukuoka
vs.
Manami Toyota & Kaoru Ito (AJW team)

This had the expected plethora of big spots. It looked like it was an excellent match with strong work and cool spots. Unfortunately, only 1/3 aired, so who knows? Toyota & Ito took the tag titles, making them the 9th overall champs. I have to ask what the point of giving Toyota & Ito the belts was if they were going to lose them on the same TVshow? I know the idea was to shift the belt from Hikari to Kuzumi, but can't you get more out of Toyota & Ito's run than this? At least hold their title loss off long enough that you can use this TV show to promote the upcoming Hikari & Kuzumi vs. Toyota & Ito match.
