JWP's 15th Anniversary show

JWP held their 15th anniversary show May 28 at Korakuen Hall. Of course the amazing part is that JWP even got to their 15th anniversary. JWP was a very good company back in the joshi heydays of the 90s. They had some of the most popular wrestlers like Mayumi Ozaki, Dynamite Kansai, Cuty Suzuki & Hikari Fukuoka. Then some of the wrestlers started to retire and others jumped ship. Things were pretty bad by 2002. The company should have closed but Commando Bolshoi found a way to keep JWP going and they're even on TV now. They still don't draw. They couldn't even fill Korakuen Hall for a big show and they run too many shows in front of too few fans. But JWP has improved a lot over the last couple of years but that's not saying very much.





Former JWP wrestlers Devil Masami, Mayumi Ozaki, Dynamite Kansai, Ran YuYu & Carlos Amano returned for this show. Also retired JWP wrestlers Hikari Fukuoka, Cuty Suzuki, Kana Mizaki & Hiromi Yagi. Yagi was an excellent wrestler who unfortunately never got a proper retirement show. As many of you are aware, I am a huge Hikari Fukuoka fan. She looks fantastic and has a child. Cuty Suzuki was very popular in her day. Cuty got married in May of last year and is expecting her first child in July.





Devil Masami, Mayumi Ozaki & Dynamite Kansai returned for a special 15th anniversary 6 woman tag match. It would be Kayoko Haruyama, Kaori Yoneyama & Devil Masami vs Commando Bolshoi, Mayumi Ozaki & Dynamite Kansai. It was said to be a very good match with the "old timers" really delivering the goods. Haruyama won over Bolshoi in 19:17. The main event had Manami Toyota winning the JWP Open Weight Title from Tsubasa Kuragaki. Kauragaki put on a very spirited defense but Toyota won with the Queen Bee Bomb at 29:57. Here's the results of the show.
