Nanae Takahashi has announced that her new promotion will be called Pro Wrestling SUN. This promotion will be managed by First On Stage, the parent company of ZERO-ONE MAX. The debut show will be October 1 at Korakuen Hall. Of course the Dream Catchers; Nanae Takahashi, Hikaru, Saki Maemura & Natsuki*Head will form the basis of the promotion. They are also taking applications for trainees and it looks like the training will be at ZERO-ONE MAX's dojo.
Takahashi said that Pro Wrestling SUN will shine a bright light on the darkness of the joshi business. We'll see about that. So ZERO-ONE MAX is still doing their joshi show on Sept. 27 and that will lead to the start of SUN. The plan is still to bring in gaijins to be led by Amazing Kong. They brought in Alison Corino & Panther Claw last month and I have another gaijin to talk about in the next related article.
Meanwhile, there is a promotion calling itself NEW All Japan Womens Pro Wrestling. Former AJW president Matsunaga has said this promotion has no connection to the old AJW. As I said before, I believe EWF/GIRLS DOOR is behind this as they are running a lot of shows and they have the money to do that. I guess the problem I have with them using the AJW name is it confuses people and I would prefer that any new promotion build its own identity and not live off the past.
