Sendai Girls held the Jaja Uma Tournament for young wrestlers earlier in the year, this DVD shows the 1st round matches.
Ryo Mizunami vs Minori Makiba
Sendai's GAEA trained rookie Ryo starts us off against 15 year old Minori from Ice Ribbon. Its the first time i've seen Minori and she has a lot of bulk but carries it reasonably well. Also wrestles pretty well but Ryo is better. 1.5/5
Arisa Nakajima vs Hiren
I HEART Hiren but she is outclassed in this match which was pre-D-FIX i believe. The signs of her heelish future are there though as she is aggressive but Arisa is the much better wrestler. 1/5
Ayako Sato vs Misaki Ohata
Ayako Sato takes time out from her usual LLPW beatings to face Ibuki's Misaki Ohati. Decent enough match though nothing exceptional. 1/5
Sendai Sachiko vs Mio Shirai
TEAM MAKEHEN's sexy Mio Shirai struts to the ring, she looks good though her moveset is still pretty limited. Technique can be trained though, charisma is something you are born with so Mio will be a big star one day. I like Sachiko but she needs to develop her personality beyond the eager earnest rookie. 1/5
Hiroyo Matsumoto vs Mika Mizunuma (Mikado)
Though still only wrestling for a couple of years Hiroyo has accomplished quite a lot already and outclasses TEAM MAKEHEN's Mika Mizunuma. Mika is big like Minori but while the Ice Ribbon teen could get a big solid build with some gym work Mika is more bulk for the sake of it and needs to up her fitness. 1/5
Io Shirai vs Pinkie Mayuki
TEAM MAKEHEN's Io versus JWP's Pinkie. Io is probably the better of the Shirai sisters while Pinkie is damn good for a 16 year old. Decent match though the referee screws up the ending a bit. 1/5
Kana vs DASH Chisako
I love DASH, she is high energy and anger, Kana is the magical flying butt. Kana is much further along the rookie development trail and it shows here. Good match, i always enough DASH though, even when she is being killed in seconds by veterans. 1.5/5
Tyrannosaurus Okuda vs Hanako Kobayashi
Okuda was then the JWP/POP Jr champion. This match doesn't quite work, Okuda is the best of the Sendai rookies but not yet good enough to carry a main event. Still like all matches on this card its good to see reasonably evenly matched youngsters fight it out without veterans crushing them or hogging the limelight. 1/5
