A few months ago Hustle got some press for sponsoring a female amateur wrestler named Chie Ishii. It seemed odd because well...Hustle is Hustle and Dream Stage Entertainment has never used women on their Pride MMA shows. So in February Ishii won her weight class in the Japan Queens Cup and Friday Hustle held a press conference.
Chie Ishii will make her professional debut on the G-Shooto joshi puroresu vs MMA show on August 19 as part of Wrestle Expo 2006. Her opponent will be Miyuki Ariga. Ariga is 1-2 and lost to Yuka Tsuji in February. So will she be a pro wrestler or an MMA fighter? Well, Hustle is saying that this is her pro wrestling debut. But it looks like Ishii may be more interested in MMA. She said she went to the Hisae Watanabe/Satoko Shinashi DEEP match last week and thought she was stronger than both of them. Maybe she wants to be on the recieving end of one of Watanabe's punches. So maybe Hustle & Ishii aren't on the same page.
