Sendai Girls go to Niigata

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

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.
