The Pia Ticket Agency interviewed GAMI to promote THE WOMAN show on June 23 at Shin-kiba 1st Ring. GAMI was asked why she decided to start her own company this year. She says that she dabbled a bit in producing shows last year and evaluated the results. With AJW & GAEA closing last year, there are fewer joshi shows being run. So she thought there was a place for her to run shows once a month under her own banner. Also, Riki Choshu encouraged her to start her own company. There are pros and cons to being an independent promotion but GAMI is happy with the results to date. GAMI was asked about being taken seriously if only running once a month. She says she talked to Commando Bolshoi of JWP about that and Bolshoi told her not to be concerned about that. Run what you can afford.
GAMI was asked about finding a balance of different wrestling styles. She says she's trying to find a balance between the joshi style of the Showa era, the newer joshi style and comedy. She believes there is a demand for all these styles but finding a balance is very difficult. She says she wants to help the young wrestlers too but THE WOMAN relies on the veterans to carry the shows. She feels that some of the young wrestlers are timid and need to be more aggressive in the ring. It's almost like they're afraid to get hurt and it affects their performance in the ring.
On the June 23 THE WOMAN show, GAMI will team with Toshie Uematsu & Yuki Miyazaki against Aja Kong, Dynamite Kansai & Manami Toyota. What kind of match should fans expect? GAMI says to expect a little of everything; a little violence, a little wrestling and a little comedy. GAMI isn't sure about retirement yet but it's going to come in the near future. She thinks it will be easier to run THE WOMAN if she retires and can concentrate on running the promotion exclusively. She says her immediate goal is to expand THE WOMAN and run a show at Korakuen Hall. Maybe she should do her retirement show there. Her plan is for THE WOMAN to be a long term success but she's not successful yet.
