I don't know what to say about JD STAR management. They're always trying to come up with new ideas to fool fans into thinking that they're going to do something other than push their pathetic Athtresses. The JD STAR/A To Z merger didn't really work because all the veterans left and their most experienced Athtress Yumi Ohka is out with a knee injury. That leaves them with Fuuka & Shuu Shibutani, both of whom have to improve just to be lousy in the ring. They can't carry a company.
So JD Star held a press conference on Wednesday to announce a new tournament called Pop Princess. This round robin tournament will feature ten wrestlers who have less than three years experience. Other than dividing the ten wrestlers into two blocks of five, they didn't say how the tournament would work. It will start on April 2 and the semi finals & finals will be on June 24. Well, that will fill some TV time.
JD STAR is making a big deal about having tournament participation from various companies. Just a little window dressing. Here are the wrestlers that will be in the tournament. Block A will have Fuuka (JD STAR), Mai Ichii (Gatoukuunyan), Haruhi (Gatoukuunyan), Ayumi Kurihara (M's Style) & Urai (Gutsworld). Block B will have Natsuki*Head (Gatoukuunyan), Cherry (Union), Shuu Shibutani (JD STAR), Tomoka Nakagawa (K-DOJO) & Bambi (K-DOJO). The best of this group is probably Natsuki*Head who trained at AJW.
However, I suspect the purpose of this tournament is to continue to try and push Fuuka as JD STAR's ace. Their last attempt to do that didn't turn out too well when Fuuka lasted six minutes with AKINO last weekend. JD STAR is determined to push the Athtresses no matter how bad they are and how badly they fail. And most of these other wrestlers are the equivalent of Athtresses and have been spending a lot of time at Yoshida's Gym so they can improve to the point of just being poor in the ring. So if you like watching train wrecks, you might enjoy this tournament. But JD Star's ruse is easy to see through. Some of the girls are cute. Here's a picture of them.
