Last October, a new wrestling company called RING put on their first show. The company claims to be a mix of pro wrestling, music, dance, rhythmic gymnastics & comedy. Michiko Ohmukai & AKINO were the only joshi wrestlers on that show. The rest of the card had guys from K-Dojo & DDT like YOSHIYA, Makato Oishi and others. If you look at clips from the show, the concept seems somewhat similar to the MTV Wrestling Society X with it's combination of all these things. It looks like RING is closely associated with a dance company called Stand.
RING's next show will be on June 27 at Roppongi University and there will be a much more significant joshi prescence on the show. Both Aja Kong & Chigusa Nagayo have joined the company as producers. Aja will also wrestle on the show along with Michiko Ohmukai, AKINO, Ayako Hamada & Apple Miyuki along with some of the same guys from the first show. From what I could tell, it looks like the dancers get involved in the ring action too. The best thing to do is check out their website yourself. They have several clips to watch.
