>[Stardom] Tora Natsuko loses to Nakano Tamu...World crowning in 34 days: "I get to decide who the hero is!"
>Natsuko Tora (33), leader of the villainous group "H.A.T.E." in the women's professional wrestling industry "Stardom," has lost her world title after just 34 days.
>In his first title match (31st, Chofu, Tokyo) he faced off against former champion Nakano Tam. He was crowned champion at the Sapporo tournament on July 28th, and gave up his right to compete in the midsummer festival "5STAR GP". At the Hamamatsu tournament on the 4th of this month, he hit Nakano's left knee, which he had destroyed in October last year, with an iron pipe and then went so far as to cut his hair. The villainous champion, who could do whatever he wanted, nominated Nakano as his challenger after he had dropped out after suffering three straight losses at the start of the league match. In the end, Nakano had lost all six official matches before the title match.
>On this day, Tora continued to attack Nakano's left knee, but in return, she screamed when her left knee, which she had hurt when challenging then world champion Utami Hayashishita in July 2021, was hit. Her teammate's assist also ended in a misfire, and she ended up with a three-count from Nakano's Twilight Dream (modified Moko Atomic Bomb Hold).
>After losing the title in his first defense, Tora spat out, "I said, 'It would take a hero to take the belt off my waist.' I'll try as many times as it takes," and left the ring.
>Afterwards, he appeared backstage limping and declared with hatred, "Tam Nakano! I get to decide who the hero is. Don't act like a hero just because you got the belt!" In any case, he seemed dissatisfied with his short-lived reign, and at the end, he warned, "I'll definitely get the red belt back!" before leaving.
