Michiko Ohmukai held a press conference on Aug. 30 and announced on her blog that M's Style will close after their Oct. 8 Shinjuku FACE show. M's Style was started in 2004 by Michiko Ohmukai, AKINO, Mariko Yoshida & Momoe Nakanishi. Their first show was in March 2004. There was speculation at the time that New Japan was bankrolling the company but M's Style had never really gotten off the ground when Momoe left in June 2004 and subsequently retired in Jan. 2005. After that, M's Style was just another zombie fed. The company has been even less active since Yoshida started concentrating on her Ibuki fed.
M's Style closing is not overly surprising. It's been rumoured for over a year that Michiko Ohmukai wants to retire and I suspect she will do exactly that. It's not yet known what any of the M's Style wrestlers will do but AKINO can go anywhere and be a main eventer and Ayumi Kurihara is a youngster with potential and will catch on somewhere. The others could freelance. I'll have more on this as details become available.
