[All Japan Women's] 2001/12/16 Kawasaki City Gym - Hair match in steel cage!

[Hisaharu Tanabe]

WWWA World champion Kaoru Itoh will meet 3-time champion Yumiko Hotta for a hair match in steel cage at Kawasaki City Gym on 2002/02/16.

Miho Wakizawa will retire on the same card and face her former tag team partner Kayo Noumi.

Actually she is wrestling Hokuto the day before at the big GAEA show, which seems really strange to me, given that Zenjo and GAEA have a tense (if any) relationship as it is.

Also, the Ito/Hotta match is 12/16/01.

My sincere apology. I can't remember where I got this wrong date. The card already took place on 12/16. I changed the title of this thread.

On 2001/12/15 at a GAEA card in Kawasaki, Akira Hokuto defeated Wakizawa with her famous bomb finisher. This match was requested by Wakizawa herself. When Hokuto had a brief return to All Japan Women's few years ago, she picked Wakizawa as her opponent.

At All Japan Women's card on 2001/12/16, Wakizawa lost to Kayo Noumi in her own retirement match when Noumi pinned her at 15'30" after a fisherman's buster. In the main event, WWWA World champion Kaoru Itoh escaped from a steel cage to defeat Yumiko Hotta in a hair match. Hotta became the first one to shave her hair in All Japan Women's card since 1992/08/15. Shinobu Kandori of LLPW was in the audience.
