T. Okuda, late of Sendai and now in Tokyo on Team MAKEHEN's books is adopting the Tokyo look already though pink leopard skin is so wrong girl!

LLPW to hold 2 cards next weekend

2009-03-13T08:42:00.004Z

LLPW will be holding 2 cards on the weekend of March 21 and 22 at the Kasai Physical Education Centre and Toiyacho BIC Site. A number of guest stars will be turning up for both including Kaori Yoneyama, Mima Shimoda, Yumiko Hotta and Toshie Uematsu. No Kandori though and Okino is still MIA.

To annoy the English speaking on-line joshi fan community i present this photo of Ayumi Kurihara getting pounded at a LLPW card earlier this year. LL!!!

Haruka Matsuo is retiring

2009-03-08T19:15:00.003Z

NEO star (and indeed fairly recent champion) Haruka Matsuo is retiring. Her last match will apparently be on May the 5th. She said she was 27 now which was older than she expected to be still wrestling when she started. She wanted to retire last year when she lost the NEO title to Kyoko Inoue but decided to not mention it then because Misae Genki had already announced her retirement. I can't say i liked her that much though she was certainly easy on the eye.

Sendai Girls go to Niigata

2009-03-04T21:59:00.003Z

Sendai Girls Pro-Wrestling will, in May, have their first card outside of Sendai/Miyagi when they visit Niigata. Meiko Satomura is from the city so obviously will be hoping for a hometown win. Her opponent Aja Kong will have other ideas of course. That card is on May 5th. Sendai also have cards on March 29th and April 19th in Sendai and will see the conclusion of the Jaja Uma tournament. They will also be appearing at the Arabaki Rock Festival on April 25th.

Okuda joins Team MAKEHEN

2009-02-21T16:25:00.004Z

Tyrannosaurus Okuda, who left Sendai Girls last year, is apparently going to join Team MAKEHEN. That is an odd one as MAKEHEN, who do have some good young wrestlers like the Shirai sisters are rather obscure and is rarely televised (mind you Sendai isn't on the goggle box that much these days). A weird one, it could be MAKEHEN have ambitions about raising their profile, or it could be an elaborate angle, or just... an odd decision.

Anyway in MAKEHEN she will be known as Shuri Okuda. The Pozmeister has some good analysis on her decision and how it could work out really well for her.

Meanwhile in Sendai Girls the first matches in the Jaja Uma tournament were held. Yoko Yamada beat Yukari Ishino, Esui beat Minori Makiba, Hanako Kobayashi beat Hiren (noooo!!!) and Ryo Mizunami beat Raika.

LLPW returns in March

2009-02-17T09:48:00.004Z

LLPW returns to the Shin-Kiba 1stRING on March 1st. I think the card is pretty good, Sayuri is still injured (or absent anyway) but so are the trannies (yay!)

Toshie Uematsu vs Bullfight Sora

- i hope this gets onto DVD, i haven't seen Sora for some time.

Takaco Inoue & Jumbo Hori vs Dump Matsumoto & Sasori

- i am so looking forward to this one. It will likely be a big ole lazy Dump brawl. Some people hate that but i love it!

Mizuki Endo vs Yumiko Hotta

- could be good though i prefer Endo when she is Aiger

Noriyo Tateno & Harley Saito vs Ayako Sato & Hanako Kobayashi

- the kids will get a thumping. LL!!!!

Can you tell who it is yet?

Hiren beats Manami Toyota!

2009-02-05T22:57:00.003Z

On the latest OZ Academy show Hiren, my favourite wrestler, apparently defeated the legendary Manami Toyota! Thats a strange result, there must have been some big angle (OZ is full of angles because of Ozaki's devious mind!) behind it such as D-FIX turning on Toyota so hopefully will find out more about this later on. The OZ tag-team title also changed hands with Aja Kong & Hiroyo Matsumoto beating Ozaki & KAORU. So a good night for the youngsters!

Okuda to leave Sendai Girls

2009-01-26T11:30:00.005Z

Tyrannosaurus Okuda has apparently left Sendai Girls. She is currently out injured but will probably return in the Summer as a free lancer. Its a blow to Sendai Girls who have a thin roster anyway though some fans are speculating if it is an angle. It probably isn't, Okuda feels the draw of Tokyo. The big worry for Meiko Satomura will be who else will want to try the big city, a lure many young people in the provinces feel (i always resisted it, London in my case, but i regret it now sometimes). Hiren maybe?

On their latest show Sendai ran it's usual 1 day tournament. The final was between Meiko Satomura and Ryo Mizunami which is pretty much as expected. The winner was too!

An odd case of swapped hair colours, Dash looks much better with her hair like this. Hiren is perfect, as always.

It was back to the red gear for Hiren, who did make her Sendai debut in the D-FIX black lace gear on the Devil Masami card last month.

The cancellation of the December LLPW card was a worrying sign for all LL fans, had the old promotion finally run out of steam? Well they are back in January with a pretty damn good card :

Yumiko Hotta & Takaco Inoue vs Hikaru & Maemura Saki
Todoe vs Jourin
Jumbo Hori vs Aki Kanbayashi
Dump Matsumoto vs Aiger (OMG YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!)
Shinobu Kanori & Toshi Uemetsu vs Hanako Kobayashi & Ayoko Sato
Noriyo Tateno & Harley Saito vs Ayoko Hamada & Mima Shimoda

January 18th at Korakuen Hall. Dump versus Aiger, now that could be the most awesome match for years... or a shapeless lazy Dump-esque brawl. Though i love the latter anyway so its a sure-win matchup. Just need Sayuri back from injury and my life would be complete... LL!!!!

Update : its now become Dump vs Endo, well same match-up of course though somehow Aiger seems rather more fun... though it might have been a case of too much ridiculous though cool gimmicks in 1 match-up!

Nanae's lieutenants will also be appearing earlier on the show with Kana facing Hiroyo Matsumoto and Natsuki will be teaming up with Yumiko Hotta!

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.

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

2008-11-06T11:20:00.003Z

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

2008-10-23T17:52:00.004+01:00

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

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.

2008-10-22T09:26:00.005+01:00

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!

DVD Review : LLPW 14/12/07

2008-10-22T08:54:00.007+01:00

Time to start reviewing some of these DVDs i've been accumulating. Match ratings in the traditional "out of 5" format rating from 1 for OK to 5 for ultra-awesome. Expect controversy as i don't follow the herd...

LLPW 14/12/07 Korakuen Hall

Sayuri Okino & Eiger vs Jumbo Hori & Obacchi Iizuka

4 of my favourite wrestlers in 1 match! Jumbo Hori is a real Grandma and Obacchi's gimmick is that of a Grandma, a fairly unique tag-team then. Okino and Eiger are the most awesome tag-team in wrestling today.

This match is largely how you would expect from the personnel involved, humour and gimmicks galore from Obacchi and Eiger plus some stick action from Okino. Jumbo Hori's ring outfit is rather weird and she looks like a giant mushroom. Despite the wrestlers in this match though it lacks a bit of sparkle, Obacchi seemed a bit off and Jumbo is still very rusty. Okino and Eiger phone it in a bit. Oh well. 1.5/5

Sayuri Okino

The traditional LLPW transvestite match followed, i always fast forward through that, indeed i heard the DVD fast-forward function was invented because of these matches. Onwards...

Jaguar Yokota vs Francoise

Francoise is the young rookie on the LLPW books, well she was anyway, she hasn't been around much this year. Her ring work isn't that great but she at least does have some different facial expressions and a model persona compared to the usual overly earnest and super determined rookie persona. Jaguar puts her away without that much trouble. 1/1

Takako Inoue & Harley Saito vs Shinobu Kandori & Ayako Sato

Ayako Sato has appeared on a lot of LLPW cards over the last year, admittedly jobbing on most of them. Here she adds plenty of energy to this meeting of the LLPW top table. This is quite a good match with Ayako's enthusiasm backfiring but her putting on a good show.

Thats what people miss when they moan about the youngsters jobbing, for a young wrestler's development and image build-up she gets much more out of a hard fought loss to a veteran than a barely known about win against another rookie. 2/5

Yumiko Hotta, Blue Wolf I & Blue Wolf II vs Noriyo Tateno & Mizuki Endo

A typical Hotta brawl, Endo gets cut up pretty bad and takes some hard chair shots. Its a shapeless match that takes place mostly out of the ring, some of the audience getting Noriyo on their laps (not the worst thing to happen in the world...) and probably no actual wrestling in the match but good fun if you like joshi brawls. I do. 2/5

A typical LLPW show, they have the highest production values of any current promotion in joshi and the right mix of story lines, comedy, wrestling and star names to elevate them over other promotions like NEO which can be a bit dull sometimes.

Devil Masami is going to retire at the end of the year though. Here both are both at the early stages of their careers (and look very different to how they look today!)

Match : Sayuri Okino vs Jumbo Hori

2008-09-28T20:11:00.002+01:00
