Okuda joins Team MAKEHEN

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.
