3WA Tag Team Title 2/3 Falls Match: Nanamomo (Momoe Nakanishi & Nanae Takahashi) (c) vs. LCO (Etsuko Mita & Mima Shimoda) - AJW New Wrestlemarinepiad 2002 - 29/11/2002
This is best 2/3 Falls. So naturally, the match gets the first two falls out of the way almost immediately but the way they did it was fascinating as LCO attacked during the entrances and set a frantic pace that eventually cost them as the champions got the advantage and eventually scored the pin via the Momo Latch Pin. The second fall came soon after with Shimoda getting her revenge after sitting down on a second Momo Latch attempt. The third fall began a total brawl, starting out in the crowds and balconies before coming back to the ring. The more traditional the match got, the more control Nanamomo had. Momoe attacked Mita’s injured knee, giving them a target but LCO (Mima, in particular) would try to use a weapon and turn it into their match. The match really got great once all four women got in the ring. The tag team wrestling really flowed, leading to some great nearfalls, such as Mita kicking Nanae into a roll-up before it got broken up at the last second. Mita and Nanae looked really good in the ring when they were swinging for the fences. Mita would smack Nanae in the face, only for Nanane to give her a receipt with a brutal knee to the face. Mita’s character work was a highlight as well. She couldn’t help but antagonise Momoe on the apron while she’s working over Nanae in the ring. The match ended after a death valley driver from Mita to Nanae to conclude the match. LCO won the titles once again, but they wouldn’t keep it for long as it was vacated a month later. Afterwards, it all kicked off but after it settled down, Takako Inoue and Tomoko Watanabe seemingly challenged them to a title match. I really don’t like them throwing the stipulation away like they did but the third fall was compelling enough to overcome it. It was a great match in the end.
