promotions represented for 2014.\u00a0 Chigusa Nagayo doesn\u2019t produce shows very often so it\u2019s not really a promotion per se, more just Nagayo and her friends (plus whatever Freelancers she can get).\u00a0 But the announced attendance is shockingly high so clearly in Tokyo they really care about something on this card.\u00a0 Maybe it is Dump Matsumoto.\u00a0 Anyway, here is the full card:<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211;\u00a0<em>No Rules Match:<\/em>\u00a0Chigusa Nagayo, Kagetsu, and Takumi Iroha vs. Dump Matsumoto, KAORU, and Yoshiko<br \/>\n&#8211; Eiger vs. Sakura Hirota Kyusei<br

soon as the match starts, with Dump and company generally getting the better of things.\u00a0 Matsumoto gets back in the ring\u00a0 with a kendo stick and just waits until Iroha is slid back in the ring with her.\u00a0 Matsumoto hits Iroha with the stick and punches her to the mat, cover, but it gets a two count.\u00a0 Quick inside cradle by Iroha, but the referee is stopped from making the count.\u00a0 Matsumoto throws Iroha in the corner, Kagetsu comes in the ring and dropkicks Matsumoto.\u00a0 A second dropkick by Kagetsu and a third, but Matsumoto shrugs them off and punches Kagetsu to the mat.\u00a0 Matsumoto gets a\u2026 metal stick and stabs Kagetsu in the face with it a few times.\u00a0 Some of Matsumoto\u2019s friends come in to interfere but Kagetsu knocks her out of the ring, but Matsumoto hits Kagetsu with a lariat followed by a body press.\u00a0 Matsumoto kicks Kagetsu into the corner so that Nagayo can tag herself into the ring.\u00a0 KAORU comes in the ring and hits Nagayo with a board, but Nagayo hits Matsumoto with a series of uppercuts.\u00a0 Nagayo goes off the ropes but is it from the floor, Yoshiko and KAORU come into the ring and KAORU stomps on Nagayo.\u00a0 Matsumoto picks up Nagayo and puts her into the corner, and she gets stabbed with the metal tool as well.\u00a0 Matsumoto then gets her kendo stick and chokes Nagayo with it, KAORU then gets a chain and with Yoshiko she puts it around her neck before pulling on both sides.\u00a0 They keep choking Nagayo before putting her near the ropes so the outside wrestlers could help as well.\u00a0 Iroha and Kagetsu consider getting in the ring but Matsumoto threatens them with the kendo stick.<\/p>\n<p>KAORU then hits Nagayo with the wooden board three times.\u00a0 Another board shot by KAORU and she slams Nagayo in front of the corner.\u00a0 KAORU goes up to the top turnbuckle with a piece of the board and drops it onto Nagayo.\u00a0 KAORU hits her with it some more before

only gets two.\u00a0 KAORU goes up the ladder a second time but Nagayo has recovered and climbs up the other side.\u00a0 Nagayo grabs Iroha and hits a superplex from the top of the ladder.\u00a0 Cover by Nagayo, but Matsumoto breaks it up.\u00a0 Yoshiko stomps on Nagayo while KAORU folds up the ladder and swings it into Nagayo\u2019s face.\u00a0 Kagetsu and Iroha get the same treatment, KAORU lays the ladder onto Nagayo and goes off the ropes, but Iroha grabs her from the apron.<\/p>\n<p>Yoshiko runs in and hits a senton onto the ladder that is on top of Nagayo, she puts the ladder back onto

a double dropkick.\u00a0 Nagayo comes back in the ring, they all grab a different opponent and apply Scorpion Deathlocks until it is broken up by a wrestler at ringside.\u00a0 Matsumoto gets a metal box and goes to hit Nagayo with it but Nagayo punches it away.\u00a0 Scoop slam by Nagayo to Matsumoto, she picks up Matsumoto and hits a second slam.\u00a0 Cover, but it gets a two count.\u00a0 Nagayo gets the metal box and hits Matsumoto in the head with it, but KAORU blocks her from doing it again and takes the metal box.\u00a0 KAORU goes to throw the box at Nagayo, but Nagayo ducks and Matsumoto is hit by accident.\u00a0 Nagayo gets a bunch of light tubes and hits Matsumoto in the head, school boy by Nagayo and she picks up the three count.\u00a0 Your winners:\u00a0 Chigusa Nagayo, Kagetsu, and Takumi Iroha<\/p>\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0 Sadly, this match was not clipped.\u00a0 Honestly this match was better than I thought it would be, when I saw the participants and the match length I groaned but the match kept at a decent pace.\u00a0 The heel beat down segments were fine and the older wrestler weren\u2019t asked to do too much.\u00a0 Some of the spots were pretty awesome, if you cut out the few times the action dragged it would have been really entertaining.\u00a0 The ending did come across flat, here you have all these weapons and big moves and the match ends on a delayed school boy (meaning it wasn\u2019t a sneaky play).\u00a0 But beyond that and a few slow parts, it was actually definitely above average.\u00a0\u00a0<span

rolls out of the ring to re-group, Kyusei gets on the microphone and kvetches about something.\u00a0 Nagayo comes down and comes into the ring with Kyusei, I am assuming so that she won\u2019t be scared of Eiger.\u00a0 But I don\u2019t know what they are saying so I am guessing.\u00a0 Kyusei and Nagayo both put on t-shirts before dancing for a bit.\u00a0 Kyusei talks on the microphone some more until Eiger finally comes back in the ring, Nagayo and Kyusei Irish whip Eiger and they punch her in the stomach.\u00a0 Kyusei lies down and Nagayo catapults her on top of Kyusei for a two count

\u00a0\u00a0Eiger<\/p>\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts:<\/strong>\u00a0 So this was just a silly comedy match, but I give it credit as I have never seen someone block a Shining Wizard by just moving their knee.\u00a0 It is genius.\u00a0 If you move your knee they can\u2019t step up, and can\u2019t do the move.\u00a0 I hope that Mutoh\u2019s opponents don\u2019t see this video or he is in serious trouble.\u00a0 Other than that I didn\u2019t really get a lot of the comedy, but it kept me mildly amused anyway.\u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Score:\u00a0

she was also in the opener), which is why they were letting her pick up the win and KAORU was tentative (either legitimately or just for suspense) when she hit the final moonsault.\u00a0 It didn\u2019t look like she had lost a step, sure she is older but she is still crisp in the ring.\u00a0 About 60% of the match was shown so at least enough that I think I got a good feel for it even though a few wrestlers (such as Kandori) did almost nothing with what was shown.\u00a0\u00a0 Some of the wrestlers really impressed, I thought that Satomura looked good as did Uematsu.\u00a0 Being older wrestlers maybe the match being clipped helped cut out the slow parts, but what they showed was perfectly fine action.\u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Score:\u00a0

of clipped matches.\u00a0 And it wasn\u2019t a bad match, the older gals are fun sometimes and they brawled around so that it didn\u2019t get too dull in the ring.\u00a0 Plus it is always good to see Dump again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MVP: KAORU.<\/strong>\u00a0Not only was this her big return but she wrestled in two matches on the card which is impressive. She looked good in both matches, especially in the main event. KAORU is not a full blown Joshi Legend but is still very well respected and it is good to see her back in action again. A good display by her on the event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Overall:<\/strong>\u00a0 What a shocker, there was only one full unclipped match on the Chigusa Nagayo Produce show, and it is the match with Chigusa Nagayo!\u00a0 Needless to say I would have greatly preferred the semi-main event to be shown in full as that match had the best wrestlers in it (in my opinion), but I never get what I want.\u00a0 Unfortunately, too many matches were clipped for me to recommend this but the action was surprisingly solid from start to finish even with the advanced age of some of the wrestlers.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Grade: C-<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chigusa Nagayo, Kagetsu, and Takumi Iroha vs. Dump Matsumoto, KAORU, and Yoshiko, Kyoko Inoue and Mima Sareee  vs. Yumiko Hotta and Mima Shimoda, more<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":81,"featured_media":10128,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[399,40],"tags":[438,233],"class_list":["post-10111","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fsreview","category-reviews","tag-joshi","tag-puroresu"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/81"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10111"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10111\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10132,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10111\/revisions\/10132"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
