GIRLS DOOR had their latest show at Edogawa University on June 25. A couple of things to remember about this promotion. First, it is owned by the same company that owns the Smackgirl womens MMA fed. This means they're loaded and one of the benefits of this is they can afford to run tours outside Tokyo. They started last fall and the shows seem to be improving. There was only one masked wrestler on this show and everybody knows her. Also, El Gran Hamada is producing the shows. Guess who's in the main event, not that it's a bad thing.
Kaoru Ito teamed with Kyoko Kimura against Manami Toyota & Cherry. Ito won over Cherry with the diving foot stomp at 20:49. Apparently, Cherry screamed so loudly that it could be heard over crowd noise. I guess Cherry may not be a very good wrestler but is a good screamer. Rookie idol wrestlers teaming with veterans is pretty common these days. At least the veterans will carry the match so it won't be too bad. Michiko Ohmukai & Nozomi Takesako vs Megumi Yabushita & Lily Urai was a very similar match. Takesako won over Urai in 13:40.
The main event had Ayako Hamada vs noki-A. For those who don't know, noki-A is AKINO as a masked heel that she used to do in ARSION a few years ago. And of course these two were a great tag team in ARSION too. The big deal here is that Ayako wore white. She has been wearing black a lot recently in an effort to become a heel. But the way things are in the joshi business today, it's very difficult to get over consistently in any way. But I like Ayako and it's good to see her in white again. Ayako won the match with the AP Cross in 15:51. The next GIRLS DOOR show will be in the parking lot of a bicycle race track on July 16.
