From
Nick Higley: Mike: Too bad he went from being the best lead booker to a destroyer of the good first. Unfortunately, Inoki is still around to lead to further erosion of their product, particularly with the Ogawa push at the expense of everyone else that actually wrestles for the company more than once every few months and all the "shoot" stuff that leads nowhere. |

The lineup for
the 4/22 Osaka Namihaya Dome Sub Arena show is: The two main matches
for the bigger show on 4/29 at Kanagawa Kawasaki Shi Taiikukan are: The 4/22 show is
lackluster. I'm sure there will be some good matches, but there's nothing
new or special that's liable to excite anyone beyond their hardcores.
The main event should be a little better than the 9/15 main event since,
at this point, Kyoko is worlds better than Kansai. Ozaki's match won't
be as good as it was on that show because Hokuto & Sato will only
reduce it. Satomura vs. Kansai will be as good as Satomura can make
it, which probably won't be as good as she was able to make her 9/15
match since Kansai is a worse opponent. Devil vs. KAORU sounds disasterous
since the only thing Devil has left is her smarts, and no one can get
a smart match out of KAORU. Uematsu vs. Yamada will be good, but we've
seen it before. Hirota vs. Takeuchi is just a typical lame opener. |

The 6th anniversary show, called OSAKA RIMIT BREAK, will be on 4/22 at Osaka Namihaya Dome Sub Arena. This would seem to mean that they realize they don't have anything that big at the moment because this arena isn't nearly as big as Tokyo Ariake Colliseum (site of 5th anniversary) or even Kanagawa Yokahama Bunka Taiikukan (site of 4th anniversary). That said, they are doing way better than all the women's promotions other than AJW at the gate this year (you can argue either way between those two since AJW runs all the time and GAEA runs a few times a month). |

1/10:
The 1/14 Tokyo Korauen
Hall show will be headlined by Aja Kong defending the AAAW Single Senshuken
against Mayumi Ozaki. Ozaki, who somehow has never held a top singles
title, earned this title shot by defeating KAORU on 5/14/00, which shows
you how often GAEA's titles are defended. Although the booking over
the last three years has greatly devalued Ozaki, she has some chance
only because she's someone that Aja could lose to as a way to transition
to a younger champion like Satomura without Aja actually being the one
to do that "terrible" job. The semifinal has Darkside Crush
& Sugar Sato & Chikayo Nagashima split up, as Chigusa &
Chikayo face Lioness & Sugar. |

The other side of the bracket has Chigusa Nagayo & Meiko Satomura vs. Toshie Uematsu & The Bloody on 11/3. The winner will then face Devil Masami & KAORU on 11/23. The final of the tournament is on 11/26, with the winner then going on to face Sato & Nagashima on 12/17. |

8/28:
GAEA announced the
undercard for their major Yokohama DOUBLE DESTINY 2 show on 9/15 at
Kanagawa Yokohama Bunka Taiikukan headlined by Crush 2000 vs. Aja &
Kansai. As you'll see in a second, it's all younger GAEA wrestlers in
singles matches against the stars of the 80's and early to mid 90's.
Perhaps this is the time when they'll actually try to make
their girls into stars, but I seriously doubt it. If it isn't than this
show could be in trouble because unless the veterans flashback, the
show looks to produce a lot of average to good matches. |
