Recently Mima Shimoda spent an extended time period working for CMLL in Mexico. Shimoda has returned to Japan has now announced that after the Manami Toyota 20th Anniversary Show she is moving to Mexico permanently.
Shimoda announced this on a July 29 show in Nagaoka. It looks like the show was a one off show done strictly to allow her to make this announcement. There were some good matches on the show. Yoshiko Tamura defeated Sachie Abe with the Patriot Buster at 13:54. Saki Maemura defeated rookie Yasusato Nakajima with a German Suplex at 12:17. Apparently Nakajima worked very hard.
The main event had Yumiko Hotta & Kaori Yoneyama over Mima Shimoda & KAZUKI. Hotta pinned KAZUKI with a Pyramid Driver at 18:45. The main thing is that Shimoda got to reunite with her old pal and A To Z partner Hotta. Shimoda attempted to jump start A To Z by giving Hotta a Shimoda retirement show in 2003. That didn't work out because Hotta did other stupid things and then Shimoda had to return to the ring. But it was an unselfish thing for Shimoda to do. Let's hope things work out for her in Mexico.
