RED STARS-A Official Match

The Red Stars A official match between AZM and Tora Natsuko ended in an unsatisfying conclusion

Even when Tora's entrance music started playing, no one appeared. After a while, Tora emerged from the entrance gate, still holding AZM captive. It seemed he had launched a surprise attack backstage

He briefly entered the ring, but the fight quickly spilled outside. He threw his opponent into the audience and used a fan's cheering towel to choke him

He then returned to the ring and delivered a shoulder tackle and a senton, before grabbing her hair and throwing her to the ground

When AZM retaliated with a Numero Uno from Mystica, Tora was forced to go outside the ring. However, he threw a steel chair at AZM as she ran in from the apron, and then body slammed her onto the mat outside the ring. He then threw his second, Ema Mashima, onto AZM as well

Tora pressed his advantage, but AZM, who had made Tora miss a body press from the second rope, followed up with Azumi Sushi and a Buzzsaw Kick, though he couldn't seize the decisive opportunity

Then Tora brought out the folding chair again. When referee Barb Sasaki tried to take it away, he got into a struggle with it and ended up crashing into AZM in the process

While HATE's corner men distracted the referee, AZM launched a brainbuster onto a chair. Tora and AZM then fought over the steel chair again, and when referee Barb tried to intervene, he was sent flying, resulting in a draw due to both fighters disqualifying

Tora, whose match against Tetsu Akira at Korakuen Hall on August 3rd also ended in a double count-out, has now had two consecutive draws. His record is now 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses, giving him 6 points

Meanwhile, AZM has 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, giving them 7 points and keeping their chances of qualifying on their own alive

[AZM's story]First of all, I didn't use a weapon, and they were the ones who used one first. I'm not happy about it at all. Well, HATE is always the one who uses weapons, but I just don't do it, and I could do it anytime.
