GAEA TAPES 1998-PRESENT

                                                          GAEA G-PANIC! #6 3/7/98
                                                                -2hr. Q=TFT

2/8 Tokyo Allen Hall: Hirota & Uematsu vs. Satomura & Sonoko Kato. Everyone worked hard. There wasn’t much of a bridge to the spots, but it got quite good when they started
doing them. Uematsu carried her team, which was definitely a good thing. Exciting match. Uematsu was making last second saves, but finally Satomura held her off and Kato Dragon
suplexed Hirota for the win. ***

    2/21 Saitama Honkawagoe Pepe Hall Atrium

Rina Ishii vs. Satomura. Satomura did an excellent job of carrying this match that must have exceeded everyone’s expectations. A lot of solid matwork, with Ishii looking surprisingly
technically sound. They always kept the pace doing athletic spots to bring it back to the mat. Nice counters back and forth. They worked at a rapid pace at times, but it still wasn’t easy
to get spots off. It was going to come down to who could properly execute a legit finisher first. Satomura did a lot of "crying" here when she couldn’t finish Ishii off, which was kind of
lame considering how low Ishii is on the totem pole. ***1/2

Sonoko Kato vs. Chigusa. Typical Chigusa sprint. Exciting match, but it was way too short with Kato not pushing at all. Chigusa disciplined Kato after the match including hitting her
several times. Satomura eventually tried to come to Kato’s rescue, but she got the same treatment, including getting a bloody mouth. Both Satomura & Kato cried. Maybe if I could
understand what Chigusa was saying this would have come off better, but it looked like a scene out of her dark Ring, Ring, Ring movie, which isn’t a complement. **

    2/22 Tokyo Korakuen Hall

Hokuto & Chigusa vs. Sonoko Kato & Satomura. Match was kind of helter skelter. A sprint with way too many spots rolled out. Satomura, and especially Kato, took it to Chigusa.
**1/2

Makie Numao highlights

Numao vs. Chigusa. Decent match, but very short and overall nothing special. 3/4

Sugar Sato & Nagashima vs. KAORU & Yamada. Mainly spots after they got the heels over. Work and spots were quite good. Yamada bled. Oz was outside the ring and she got
involved a few times. At one point she whispered something in Hokuto’s ear, which led to Hokuto hitting KAORU with a chair when she tried a swandive move. Yamada got into it
with Oz, so Hokuto attacked her. ***1/2

                                  GAEA G-PANIC! #7 4/18/98 taped 3/15 Club Citta Kawasaki & 3/29 Osaka IMP Hall
                                                             -1hr 55min. Q=TFT

    3/15

Chikayo Nagashima vs. Sonoko Kato. Kato mainly used UWF offense, including injuring Chikayo’s arms with an udehishigigyakujujigatame. Match was surprisingly sloppy, falling
apart when Chikayo went on offense and uncharacteristically blew a few spots. Match just kind of ended. *3/4

Sugar Sato vs. Meiko Satomura. An experimental type match, that fell flat because it was too great a departure from what they do well. A lot of strikes back and forth. Satomura was
the better of the two. **

Mayumi Ozaki & Nagashima vs. Chigusa Nagayo & Makie Numao. Typical Chigusa sprint. A workrate match where everyone looked good, but Ozaki was still the best by a wide
margin. Too short. ***1/4

Ozaki & Sugar Sato vs. KAORU & Toshiyo Yamada. This continued the storyline of Yamada wanting to kick Ozaki’s butt. However, this time KAORU & Yamada worked as a
cohesive unit. Junior style match, although the spots weren’t as glamorous. Work was as good as you’d expect, but, unfortunately, it was another sprint. The match was considerably
better with Ozaki in. Yamada was fired up and KAORU is made for this type of match. ***1/2

Sakura Hirota vs. Satomura. Typical Hirota goofiness, although thankfully she kept it under 1000 hip attacks. The technique wasn’t clean due to Hirota. *

    3/29

Oz vs. Hirota. Execution was fine, but the match wasn’t interesting as there were too many rest hold submissions. Hirota was typically awful on offense, and ruined the match as always.
*3/4

AAAW World Junior Tag Titles: Sonoko Kato & Satomura vs. Sugar & Nagashima. Mainly work. No storyline. Hot action in the last 4+ minutes really made the match. Chikayo was
the standout. ***1/2

                                  GAEA G-PANIC! #9 6/23/98 taped 5/18 Osaka, 5/31 Korakuen Hall, & 6/13 Niigata
                                                             -1hr 55min. Q=TFT

5/18 Osaka Furitsu Taiikukaikan 2: KAORU & Toshiyo Yamada vs. Meiko Satomura & Sonoko Kato. Good work. Strong performance by Yamada. ***

5/31 Tokyo Korakuen Hall: Aja Kong & Mayumi Ozaki vs. KAORU & Toshiyo Yamada. A work match, but the execution wasn’t close to the expected level. Very disappointing.
*3/4

6/13 Niigata AAAW Tag Title Tournament Round 1: KAORU & Yamada vs. Satomura & Sonoko Kato. Surprisingly, and as it turns out luckily, this was better than KAORU &
Yamada’s match with Aja & Ozaki. Match never kicked into high gear. Satomura turns KAORU’s Excalibur into a huracan rana for the upset win. **3/4

5/31 Korakuen Hall: Mizuki Ishii vs. Chigusa. Ishii’s debut. Chigusa stiffed her with kicks and quickly pinned her. Ishii didn’t really get a chance to show anything. *

5/18 Osaka Furitsu Taiikukaikan 2: Toshie Uematsu vs. Ozaki. A brawl. They weren’t always on the same page. Uematsu let Ozaki do too much at some points, but countered at the
wrong time at other points. Ozaki wasn’t in close to top form and Uematsu was pretty bad. **1/4

5/31 Korakuen Hall: Uematsu vs. Sugar Sato. A brawl. Sugar didn’t look good, again. She was missing her spots. She looked good at the finish, but overall it was another
disappointing performance by Sugar. *3/4

                                                          GAEA G-PANIC! #10 7/15/98
                                                             -1hr 55min. Q=TFT

6/21 Club Citta Kawasaki: KAORU & Meiko Satomura vs. Toshiyo Yamada & Sonoko Kato. Slow start. These sprints are hurting because no one in GAEA has any bridge to their
spots when they are working a longer match. Once they started doing their spots it turned into an excellent match. No real thought was put into the match and the selling was weak, but
the work was excellent. Yamada looked sharp with Kawada-esque offense, and worked well with KAORU. ***3/4

6/27 Nagoya Shi Taiikukan: KAORU & Makie Numao vs. Satomura & Matsumoto. All hacked up in the editing room, but the main thing was heat between Satomura and KAORU.

6/28 Osaka IMP Hall: Chigusa Nagayo & Satomura vs. Mayumi Ozaki & Sugar Sato. Typical Chigusa sprint. Work and spots for 9 minutes. Ozaki made Chigusa look good, as
always. Sugar was, unfortunately, the worst of the 4 again. Ozaki was, of course, the best. She wrestled smart given the circumstances, but there really needed to be more story here
since it was Chigusa vs. Ozaki. Satomura vs. Sugar was a big step down from Ozaki vs. Chigusa. Everyone’s execution was a little off. ***

6/27 Nagoya Shi Taiikukan AAAW Tag Title Tournament: Chigusa & Sakura Hirota vs. Aja Kong & Ozaki. Hirota was goofy as always. She kept wanting to use her lame uraken on
Aja and Oz. Hirota took the match down a lot, as always. Aja having to sell Hirota’s lame spots was hard to take. All the big spots, but it was a little sloppy. **1/2

6/14 Nagaoka: KAORU vs. Toshiyo Yamada. This wasn’t a spotfest, so KAORU was lost early on. KAORU’s execution was worse than normal. Match was devoid of build or
psychology, and even the work was disappointing. **

                                                             -1hr 55min. Q=TFT

    Alpha Plus 7/19/98 Tokyo Korakuen Hall

Mima Shimoda & Etsuko Mita & Saya Endo vs. Mayumi Ozaki & Sugar Sato & Chikayo Nagashima. This was, unfortunately, joined in progress. The work was good, but no one
fired up so it wasn’t as good as it sounds on paper. Chikayo was featured and looked good, but Sugar once again didn’t. Just about everything involving Sugar was slow and deliberate.
Too much of her against Saya hurt the match, as did too little of Ozaki and Shimoda. **3/4

AAAW Singles Title Challenger Match: KAORU vs. Chigusa. The work was only decent. The flow, psychology, and build were poor. The selling was horrible, as they no sold left and
right. Chigusa even popped right up after KAORU delivered her Excalibur finisher. Turd. *

AAAW Tag Title Challengers Tournament Semifinal: Meiko Satomura & Sonoko Kato vs. Toshie Uematsu & RIE. The main point of the match was dissention in the ranks of
Satomura & Kato. They had all kinds of problems, including accidentally hitting each other and selfishness when it came to who would get the winning pin. Finish saw Satomura on the
top rope, and Kato was going to whip RIE at her. However, Kato turned the Irish whip into a running three for the win. Satomura just stood on the top rope while Kato left the ring.
*3/4

    8/10/98 Osaka Furitsu Taiikukan 2

Chigusa & Uematsu vs. Sugar & Nagashima. Chikayo was the star worker. Chigusa did a really good job of directing traffic, and was easily the second best worker. Uematsu & Sato
did a lot of weak looking spots. **

AAAW Tag Titles Challenger Tournament Final: Aja Kong & Ozaki vs. Satomura & Kato. These teams didn’t work together nearly as well as you’d think. The match never really got
hot. Actually, Aja dictated most of the time, and it was slow paced. Ozaki, seemed a bit banged up and barely worked. When she was in the focus should have been on an ankle
"injury" Satomura gave her in the middle of the match, but Kato didn’t pick up on it beyond doing one submission to it. Kato & Satomura once again couldn’t get through the match
without fighting, and it cost them as Satomura walked right into Aja’s uraken for the loss after she got done stomping on Kato. Thus, Aja & Ozaki won a title shot on 8/23. Aja was
solid and Kato was better than Satomura. Very disappointing. **1/2

Performance features on women’s wrestling personalities, including bizarre comic performances, some kind of yelling contest, singing, etc.

                                                             -1hr 55min. Q=TFT

8/23 Tokyo Korakuen Hall AAAW Tag Titles: Sugar Sato & Nagashima vs. Aja Kong & Ozaki. This was a very exciting match, but it was more notable for the fact that the crowd
was actually really into this. The problem was this had more than its share of blown spots, mainly from Sugar. Chikayo got her feet stuck in the ropes on a tope, but had the two
highlights of the match, German suplexing Aja and giving her a footstomp off the top to the floor. Ozaki was really good with the exception of blowing one powerbomb spot with
Chikayo. Aja & Ozaki took the titles. ***1/4

8/23 Tokyo Korakuen Hall AAAW Singles Title: Chigusa vs. Devil Masami. In the past, these two have had very good matches, but they are just too big and unathletic to have much of
a match together at this point. This was a terrible match with no redeeming factors. It was slow-paced and very deliberate with a ton of no selling. Chigusa even no sold a nadare shiki
no Northern Lights suplex. The comebacks sucked because they all seemed to be off no sell spots. Devil wrestled like Super Heel even though she wasn’t billed as such. Easily the
worst match these two have ever had together. 3/4*

8/23 Tokyo Korakuen Hall: Satomura vs. Kato. These two usually have very good matches, but this wasn’t one of them. As feared, the result of all these short spotfests is that these
two didn’t have the stamina to go this long or the experience in putting over the toll of the match. This actually got off to a hot start and was a good match for the first 25 minutes, but
they just hit the wall at that point. The last 5 minutes were very weak with sloppily executed or blown spots because they both blew up (some of this was acting, but I don’t buy that
close to all of it was). Satomura’s acting needed to be better as she seemed to remember to have to remember to sell, which meant it wound up looking pretty fake due to a slightly
delayed reaction. The purpose of this match was to show that they were even, and that was accomplished, but this wasn’t exactly conjuring up memories of the draws Toyota &
Yamada had in 1991-92. **1/4

9/5 Kawagoe Pepe Hall: Bad Nurse Nakamura vs. Satomura. Bad Nurse was similarly "Great" to Muta, which meant she was truly BAD. Nurse used a fork to bloody Satomura, and
Ran had to literally rip it out of Nurse’s mouth to get it away from her. Boring brawl. *1/2

9/23 Tokyo Korakuen Hall: Manami Toyota (AJW) vs. Satomura. This was typical of Toyota against younger wrestlers. Her work was good and she did all her spots, so the match
was entertaining, but it didn’t serve any purpose at all. Toyota once again didn’t respect her younger opponent, so she didn’t really put Satomura over and the outcome was never in
doubt. We saw some good moves, but who cares? The point was for Satomura to challenge, yet all this match showed was she wasn’t even remotely close to Toyota’s level. **3/4

    2/3/99 Osaka Furitsu Taiikukan 2

Sakura Hirota vs. KAORU. You know you are in for it when KAORU tries to carry a match, but a singles match won't be good no matter who Hirota is wrestling. Hirota tried to make
you laugh at her during the first part of the match with a J.T. Smith spot blowing routine. Thus, even though she was getting a bunch of near falls in the second half, you couldn't believe
she would actually get the win. 1/4*

Premium League Final: Toshie Uematsu vs. Meiko Satomura. The mental aspects were better, but the work wasn't as good as you'd expect. I thought the shoot style stuff they did was
fairly decent, but they didn't work stiff enough, so that took away from the intensity level they were trying to show. The selling of the moves in this match at the time they happened was
nothing special, but the carry over selling was very good. The last few minutes contained several near falls, and tThe finish was pretty much perfect because they were able to show how
dead they were going into the exchange of blows.***1/4

    2/11/99 Tokyo Korakuen Hall

Mima Shimoda & Etsuko Mita vs. Toshiyo Yamada & Sonoko Kato. A standard LCO match. It had the typical good work, good brawling, and good spots. LCO was once again
pretty dominant. Even with Yamada involved, the outcome was never really in doubt. ***1/4

Lioness Asuka & Mayumi Ozaki vs. KAORU & Meiko Satomura. This match was fairly similar to the previous match, but the work was better and it wasn't the same old thing since
these were new pairings. This was also a generally one-sided brawl with good work and spots, but not much build or psychology, especially since KAORU was doing dives and
moonsaults right off the bat. Lioness & Ozaki were as good as you'd expect though, and Satomura looked really good wrestling them, so that made the match. ***1/2

Aja Kong & Chikayo Nagashima vs. Chigusa Nagayo & Toshie Uematsu. 7 second "main event."

LCO highlights

3/26/99 Chiba Koen Taiikukan: Mima Shimoda & Etsuko Mita vs. Toshiyo Yamada & Meiko Satomura. LCO basically wreaked havoc here. Their illegal tactics allowed them to
dominate most of the match. Good work, particularly from Shimoda & Yamada. ***1/2

3/20/99: Niigata Phase: Aja Kong & Chikayo Nagashima vs. Meiko Satomura & Sonoko Kato. Aja pretty much just stood in the same spot and kicked, punched or used objects. She
sold virtually nothing. Satomura finally Death Valley bombed her, but Aja kicked out. The match was much better when Chikayo was in because it was back and forth and more
exciting. ***

3/22/99: Tokyo Korakuen Hall: Lioness Asuka & Aja Kong vs. Meiko Satomura & Sonoko Kato. Aja had to sell more here because she was the junior member of her team, but it
was way too one-sided with Satomura & Kato never having a chance. The execution was good, but the work was disappointing since Lioness & Aja weren't exactly fired up for such
"weak" opposition and wouldn't really give them anything. **

     GAEA vs. Oz Academy Survival Single Match 3x3: Toshie Uematsu & RIE & Sakura Hirota vs. Sugar Sato & Chikayo Nagashima & Kaori Nakayama

A) Sato vs. Uematsu. They didn't work that well together because Sugar just sucked. They did a lot of near falls that looked like the finish, but prior to this it was slow, sloppy, and
boring. The near falls kind of saved it though. *1/2

B) Sato vs. RIE. Sugar has fallen so far that RIE had to carry her. RIE was on offense most of the time, and actually looked pretty good. They ran out of moves in 5 minutes though.
The previous match was more dramatic, but RIE did a better job of carrying Sugar than Uematsu did. *1/2

C) Sato vs. Hirota. It was serious, but there was no quality here. DUD

D) Hirota vs. Nakayama. Hirota did virtually nothing offensively. Nakayama worked hard though, and Hirota wasn't too bad at taking her moves. *

E) Hirota vs. Nagashima. Chikayo did an excellent job here. The wrestlers that were already eliminated getting involved also helped save the match. Hirota once again played the role of
being totally overmatched, but her luck finally ran out, as she wasn't able to fall into a flash pin this time. **

GAEA vs. Las Cachorras Tag Match : KAORU & Toshiyo Yamada vs. Mima Shimoda & Etsuko Mita. This was the typical GAEA spotfest, except it was bloody and 4 times as long.
There was really no build, pacing, or structuring. However, they did ever move in their arsenal at least once, and there were some memorable spots like KAORU doing a moonsault off
the lighting rig, plus seemingly a thousand near falls. Without telling a story of figuring out how to use the spots though, they lost their effect and it got monotonous. That said, considering
GAEA, opposition, and 38 minutes, LCO deserve a lot of credit for having this good a match. ***3/4

GAEA vs. SSU Tag Match: Meiko Satomura & Sonoko Kato vs. Aja Kong & Mayumi Ozaki. This was very similar in story to the LCO vs. Hamada & AKINO match from
12/11/99. Satomura & Kato were very much overmatched against the veteran team, but they were going to fight until the end no matter how much punishment they had to absorb. One
advantage this match had over the LCO vs. Hamada & AKINO match was that they did a consistently great job of playing up the rivalry. Aja & Ozaki dominated the match, but they
did it in a way that you could tell they were taking exceptional pleasure in hurting Satomura & Kato. The first part of the match saw them take out Kato's bad knee, but when she finally
tagged out the story shifted to Satomura trying to take Aja out with her Death Valley bomb. ****

Special Single Match: Chigusa Nagayo vs. Lioness Asuka. Much different than their 80's matches. It was still spot oriented, but the pace was much slower and many of the spots
involved gimmicks. Lioness was pretty much the whole match, with Chigusa not really adding anything and basically just being along for the ride. I was surprised at how dominant
Lioness was considering she was winning control of the company. I was disappointed at how little drama it had, all things considered. **1/2

                                              GAEA G-PANIC! #20 THE DAY AFTER & WIPE OUT
                                                            -1hr 55min. Q=1st Gen

     4/25/99 Tokyo Korakuen Hall

Chigusa Nagayo vs. Kaori Nakayama. Lioness made Chigusa a prelim wrestler for this show, but that just gave Chigusa the night off, as Kaori was only able to last a whopping 39
seconds.

Lioness Asuka vs. Sonoko Kato. Sato helped Lioness out right away and they took Kato out in 32 seconds. Even with it being 2-1, Kato should have lasted much longer as she usually
takes tons of punishment, but today she took a few chair shots and a stuff Ligerbomb.

KAORU & Meiko Satomura & Sonoko Kato vs. Lioness Asuka & Mayumi Ozaki & Mima Shimoda. KAORU was goofy as always, but her work was good. Unfortunately,
Satomura & Kato weren't put over, so it was mainly about how long KAORU's team could keep saving each other to hang on. Shimoda was as good as you'd expect, but aside from
her and KAORU it wasn't nearly as good as it sounded on paper. **1/2

     5/4 Nagoya Nakamura Sports Center

Lioness Asuka vs. Sonoko Kato. Kato did much better here, although without Satomura's help she still wouldn't have had a chance. After some double teaming Kato got a few near
finishes, and it was more exciting from there as Lioness was committed to putting Kato away, but Kato kept kicking out. 10:42 shown. Good match.

Toshiyo Yamada & Toshie Uematsu & Sakura Hirota vs. Mima Shimoda & Etsuko Mita & Chikayo Nagashima. Good match due to LCO and Yamada. Hirota wasn't really annoying
here because her comedy involved actual wrestling done right. ***

     5/9/99 Kawagoe Pepe Hall

Battle Royal. Hirota was the life of the match. She was stuck with all the SSU. Although they ganged up on her, they kept double crossing each other and pinning one of their
"teammates" instead of pinning Hirota. The finish was ridiculously pathetic with Hirota "not being able to stop" urakening, just spinning around forever until she collapsed. It was a fun
match overall that never had the lame brawling you usually see in a battle royal. **

Mima Shimoda & Sugar Sato vs. Meiko Satomura & Toshie Uematsu. Sato wasn't much, but the others were good enough. Not a great effort, but it was servicable. **1/4

                                                            -1hr 55min. Q=1st Gen

7/3/99 Act City Hamamatsu: Lioness Asuka vs. Sakura Hirota. The match started off with Hirota tricking Lioness by offering her flowers, but hitting her with them when she got close
enough. Later on, there was a table set up in the corner and Hirota was on Lioness' back holding her arms, so Lioness would jerk forward, which would cause Hirota to headbutt the
table. 1:13 shown

7/4/99 Osaka IMP Hall: Mayumi Ozaki vs. Sakura Hirota Hirota kneeled in the corner and talked on a walkie talkie at the beginning of the match until Ozaki went over and kicked her.

     7/18/99 Tokyo Korakuen Hall

Kaori Nakayama vs. Super Heel Sakura Hirota. Hirota brought a broom to the ring in place of the Super Heel rod. She sold a low blow huge, but it was all an act so she could uraken
Kaori. However, the uraken either missed or did no damage because Kaori went right into a small package for the win. 4:26 shown

Meiko Satomura & Sonoko Kato vs. Toshie Uematsu & RIE. Frantic action. Uematsu was in during the whole portion that aired, so it was real good. 4:51 shown

Lioness Asuka & Mima Shimoda vs. Chigusa Nagayo & Toshiyo Yamada. Brawling early. Chigusa mainly got beat on. She bled. Turned into a spot match. Either way, nothing they
did meant much and the fans weren't as into it as you'd think, so there wasn't much drama even though there was a lot of saves. Lioness and Yamada didn't work together as well as
you'd expect, which hurt the match a lot since Chigusa isn't exactly going to pick up the slack. **1/2

7/4/99: Chikayo Nagashima vs. Toshie Uematsu. Chikayo worked over the arm, including a diving footstomp and a missile kick. These two worked really well together, and were both
very animated in the ring. Very intense match. 7:09 shown. ***1/2 range

7/18/99 AAAW Tag Senshuken: Aja Kong & Mayumi Ozaki vs. Sugar Sato & Chikayo Nagashima. Sato, and to a greater extent Nagashima, were first able to show resilience by
withstanding a lot of punishment. They slowly gained momentum, setting up a section where both teams got near falls that looked like the finish, and finally scored the highly improbable
upset. This match was similar to the Aja & Ozaki vs. Satomura & Kato match from 4/4/99, but it lacked the focused storyline and the intensity that Aja vs. Satomura had. Although
there wasn't a more personalized story to the match, after being totally dominated early one, the basic underdog has a chance storyline slowly went into effect, and eventually the fans
were reacting to and believing in Sato & Nagashima. Aside from a few blown spots, the main reason the match as a whole was not as good is that Sugar, although this was one of her
better performances of the year, is not in the same stratosphere as Sonoko. That said, the match was fulfilling and is definitely one to check out if you like GAEA. ***1/2

                                                 -1hr 55min. Q=1st Gen (audio cracks sometimes)

8/15/99 Tokyo Korakuen Hall: Lioness Asuka vs. Sonoko Kato. This was one of those master vs. potential student matches where the master proves dominance and then takes the kid
under their wing. The extent to which Lioness dominated Kato was ridiculous. Satomura was pissed at her partner's defection. 6:05 shown

Feature on Hirota's cosplay

8/22/99 Tokyo Allen Hall: Mayumi Ozaki & Sugar Sato vs. Akira Hokuto & Chikayo Nagashima. Sato actually did a plancha. 3:47 shown

8/29/99 Osaka IMP Hall: Sugar Sato & Chikayo Nagashima vs. Lioness Asuka & Sonoko Kato. 3:50 shown

8/15/99: Akira Hokuto & Aja Kong & Mayumi Ozaki vs. Chigusa Nagayo & Toshiyo Yamada & Meiko Satomura. Chigusa was trying to get something out of the spots today. This
wasn't the best wrestling you'll ever see, but they did play up the rivalry well. They got into the spots around the 10 minute mark, with Ozaki, Yamada, & Satomura stepping up.
Satomura vs. Aja was featured, and this was the best part of the match because they worked really well together and Satomura was even more fired up than usual. This booking was
abysmal because on the last "big" show before the title match in Yokohama, the challenger that was sorely lacking credibility put the champion over convincingly. Satomura even stayed
down almost "unconscious" for the whole time Aja was cutting a promo on her. She only got up to her knees when Aja pulled her by the hair then threw her down again like a piece of
trash. ***1/2

8/29/99: Osaka IMP Hall: Akira Hokuto & Aja Kong vs. Toshiyo Yamada & Meiko Satomura. This was even worse booking than the previous match because, based on what was
shown, Satomura didn't get any offense in before Aja made her look like a jobber. 4:22 shown

Chigusa vs. Lioness feature
