End of long fight

Tomorrow night one of the longest careers in Joshi Puroresu will end when Devil Masami finally hangs up her tights in a 30 year career which started in August 1978. A big show will be held at Korakuen Hall to give her the required send off and most of the active joshi promotions will be represented on the show. The card is being produced by Chigusa Nagayo who will be taking to the ring again herself after her retirement some years ago.

End of the beginning

This blog was getting nowhere really and i came very close to finishing it (the blog i mean not anything more drastic!) and even put a closure notice on here and decided to just carry on the Ice Ribbon results elsewhere but then i thought, why not just continue those results here and forget the rest which are done much better elsewhere? So this blog will continue with Ice Ribbon results and joshi puroresu news. Maybe i will summarize other results if anything notable happens.

So welcome to the relaunch of Joshi Puroresu news! Unlike MFI and Woolworths but like Whittards we have left administration and are back in business.

Tsubasa Kuragaki injured

JWP mainstay Tsubasa Kuragaki has been injured in training, dislocating her ankle and breaking her leg. Unfortunately for her these injuries will put her out of action for a long time, she was closing in on the JWP title held by Kayoko Haruyama but obviously this will have to be put on hold now. Best of luck to Tsubasa for her recovery!

DVD Review : Ice Ribbon 15/12/07

Ice Ribbon 15th December 2007 Tokyo

My first Ice Ribbon DVD, and very strange and endearingly lo-fi it is too. The "ring" is a large blue mat and the "arena" is a large underground room with a white concrete wall facing the camera. It looks more like the site of an illegal rave than a wrestling card but lets go!

Makato vs Shimouma Kazumi

This is the first time i have seen Shimouma who appears late-20s/early-30s. I know some Ice Ribbon rookies are quite old. Makato of course has the gimmick of being an idiot. Both girls are very refreshing, Shimouma just gets on with the match and Makato stands out from the crowd of over-eager rookies. Amusingly though referee Tommy gets the biggest pop. 1.5/5

I put this match on YouTube, enjoy!



Kaori Yoneyama vs Seina

Ice Ribbon is best known for it's kids of course. Seina is an early teenager and amusingly is much taller than the older established wrestler Kaori. Its an exhibition match and has a rather clumsy ending. 1/5

Riho & Mr Gannosuke vs Emi Sakura & Masahiro Takahashi

Mixed-tag action with kids, Ice Ribbon rocks! The unlikely combination of a fat bearded old guy with a little kid must be the weirdest tag-team since the Colossal Connection. Good fun match including some fat grabs. 2/5

Aoi Kizuki & Mai Ichii vs Minoru Makiba & Aya Yuki

Our main event has a collection of rookies from Ice Ribbon and beyond. A nice tag-team match up. The wrestling is basic but energetic and one just hopes the girls can develop a personality beyond the usual. 1.5/5

Overall a very enjoyable card.

DVD Review : Sendai Girls 20/04/08

Sendai Girls 20/04/08 Zepp Sendai

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

DVD Review : LLPW 31/08/07

LLPW 31/08/07 Korakuen Hall - 15th anniversary of LLPW

Noriyo Tateno, Harley Saito & Takaco Inoue vs Shinobu Kandori, Mizuki Endo & Jumbo Hori

The LLPW originals plus a couple of other veterans start us off. Jumbo is in her weird mushroom outfit again and appears to have a bit of afters with Takaco following the match. Its your usual big star showpiece match with everyone having a chance to show off their moves. 1.5/5

Part 649819 of the TV wrestling series follows, apparently. Lets big up the fast forward button!

Mai Ichii vs Midori

Two youngsters have a go, its a bit like watching toddlers dance on the dance floor while the parents get drunk. Its an OK match, some nice moves but no real personality like most joshi rookie matches. 1/5

Jaguar Yokota & KAZUKI vs Megumi Yabushita & Obacchi Iizuka

An entertaining match with the usual Obacchi silliness, the usual Jaguar furious facial expressions and a few nice wrestling moves, maybe a little more daikon action was needed. 2/5

Yumiko Hotta vs Francoise
Hotta no-sells Francoise's offense. Now she is often criticized for doing stuff like this with rookies but then again in this case Francoise's offense looked as effective as a wet lettuce. The match was really to set up some post-match violence with Hotta and the Blue Wolves beating up the LLPW crew. 0.5/5

Sayuri Okino & Eiger vs DASH Chisako & Sendai Sachiko

LLPW Tag-title match between two of my favourite teams. The Sendai Girls put on a good account for themselves and show why they are among the best young wrestlers around nowadays. Okino and Eiger however are just... Okino and Eiger. And that means brilliant. 3/5


The sisters anxiously await the arrival of the scary white face woman

DVD Review : OZ Academy 10/02/08

OZ Academy 10/02/08 Shinjuku

Akino vs Devil Masami

Part of Devil Masami's retirement tour, she is doing the job on a lot of these. Tough action but a bit slow and quite frankly a bit dull but lets be nice to the old lady. 1/5


Devil Masami

Kaoru vs Ran Yu-Yu

Or Ran Yu-Yu versus D-FIX as Mika Nishio and Police interfere openly. Good fun but slightly pointless, as if you have this much interference why bother having a referee if rules arn't enforced. 1.5/5

Tsubasa Kuragaki & Kayuko Haruyama vs Chikayo Nagashima & Sonoko Kato

JWP Tag-team title action as the JWP tag-champions take on the OZ girls. Good and exciting if typical joshi tag-team match : high-impact moves, near falls, top rope action et cetera. 2/5

Carlos Amano vs Mayumi Ozaki

Ozaki came to the ring with an injured arm for a gauntlet match, if she loses against Amano, Aja Kong and Dynamite Kansai then the winner becomes the Principle of OZ Academy (i assume the name doesn't change) but if Ozaki wins then her opponent has to leave.

Ozaki chooses Amano for the first match and is immediately in trouble with her bust-up arm. However even referee Ito takes a fall Ozaki's arm miraculously is suddenly healed. This is great, if standard, heel fare and its a pity younger joshi wrestlers can't try and learn some of this craft instead of their usual overly earnest face personas. Its playing safe, anyone can be a face but only the truly talented can be a heel. Ozaki is a heel, and of course D-FIX are right there with her. 3/5

Carlos Amano, Aja Kong & Dynamite Kansai vs Mayumi Ozaki, Kaoru & Police

Following that we have an extra 6-person tag match between Amano, Aja & Kansai against the mighty forces of D-FIX. The usual OZ mayhem as you can imagine with more taking place outside the ring than inside. A highlight is Mika Nishio handcuffing Aja Kong to a strut then teasing her with the keys... however she is so busy tormenting Aja she doesn't notice Kansai who punches her out and then gets the keys back. 2/5

To me D-FIX and Ozaki action will never go old. Great show.

DVD Review : LLPW 28/03/08

LLPW 28/03/08 - Obacchi Iizuka 10th Anniversary

Noriyo Tateno & Harley Saito vs Kaoru Ito & Ayako Sato

LLPW vs Ito Dojo to start things off, of course you know which team is going to lose this match and who will get pinned (no its not Noriyo) but its a reasonably good match to start things off. The veterans get to show off their moves and Ayako takes a few whacks and gives a few dropkicks. 1.5/5

The TV match follows. FF quick!

Jaguar Yokota vs Obacchi Iizuka

Obacchi celebrates her 10th anniversary in wrestling by fighting her old mentor. So we have the tights over the head, plastic hand and daikon of doom and Jaguar does her usual mixture of playing along and looking furious in a match like this. 2/5

Sayuri Okino vs Jumbo Hori

A fairly short but high-impact match, it includes the use of a sumo wrestler as a foreign object. I've put this match on YouTube in fact, its good fun though you suspect Okino doesn't really like fun. 2/5

Yumiko Hotta & Blue Wolf vs Takaco Inoue & Mizuki Endo

The latest instalment of the Hotta/Blue Wolf vs LLPW war. The match does actually spend some of it's time in the ring but soon spills to the outside for a Hotta brawl. Chains, chairs, heads thrown against walls et cetera. 2/5


Takaco Inoue

Typical LLPW card, you either love it or you hate it. LLPW is the marmite of the joshi world perhaps, well i love marmite and LLPW!
