OZ Academy & M's Style held a joint show on June 18 at Shinjuku FACE. The show was called Nuclear Fusion and was a benefit to offset Mika Nishio's medical bills. The great news is that doctors did clear Nishio to come to the show. She is still in a wheelchair but is walking with a walker in hospital. She can stand very briefly but gets tired very quickly. The 500 fans in attendance gave Nishio a rousing welcome. The wrestlers came to the ring for pictures and all were very happy to see her. Nishio stood (the wheelchair was right behind her) and thanked the fans and the wrestlers for their kindness and support. Nishio's sister was at the show and brought her to and from the show. Getting out of hospital to see her friends is very important to Nishio's recovery. On behalf of all joshi fans, I want to wish Mika Nishio all the best in her recovery.
On another note, as many fans are aware, Sonoko Kato has been out of action for several years with serious knee problems. She has continued to tell fans that she will return to the ring. She is usually in attendance at all the OZ Academy shows but she was strangely absent from this one. There are whispers that she has decided to throw in the towel and retire from wrestling. I'll let you know if I see more on this.
You may recall that at the last M's Style show, GAMI talked smack about Amazing Kong. Today was Amazing Kong's revenge. GAMI continued her comedy antics by sticking some sort of tail on Amazing Kong's butt. It didn't help. Amazing Kong finished her off in twelve minutes with the spiral bomb. Natsuki* Head made her first appearance as a Dream Catcher teaming with Nanae Takahashi & Hikaru vs Manami Toyota, Aja Kong & Ayumi Kurihara. Natsuki*Head got the fall over Kurihara with a backdrop at 24:32. After the match, Takahashi attempted to start something with Toyota. We'll see if that goes anywhere.
Next we had reluctant tag partners Mayumi Ozaki & AKINO vs Dynamite Kansai & Michiko Ohmukai. Ozaki did her usual heel shtick by ignoring AKINO, refusing to tag in and then...ahem...accidently kicking her in the head. AKINO won anyway by pinning Ohmukai at 13:02. It seems a chain was involved.
The main event was an Oz Academy vs M's Style Captains Falls match with Mayumi Ozaki, Chikayo Nagashima, Dynamite Kansai, Carlos Amano & Police vs AKINO, Michiko Ohmukai, Bullfight Sora, Leon & Ayumi Kurihara. You probably know that a Captains Falls match ends when one of the team captains is pinned. The kicker here is neither team knew who the opposing captain was. It had a bit of a swerve ending with Sora pinning Amano with a heel drop at 11:41 as the OZ wrestlers ignored Sora but she fooled them. Afterwards, all the wrestlers lined up in the ring gave three cheers to Mika Nishio. Let's hope they raised a lot of money for her. The next M's Style show is July 16 at Tokyo Cinema Club. Here's the results of the show.
