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.
