It's not exactly a big secret that I hate the JD Star Athtresses. But now the promotion has started a gimmick that may be even more annoying. A couple of weeks ago, they debuted a couple of wrestlers dressed up as pirates based on Pirates Of The Caribbean. I was hoping it would be a one time thing but it looks like they're going to be around for a while as the group is now up to four. Anyone familiar with the kind of comedy gimmicks former ARSION owner Hiroshi Ogawa would try will know that this Caribbean stuff has his fingerprints all over it. So now we have Athtresses and a comedy gimmick Yeesh!
The opening match of JD Star's Oct. 28 Shin-kiba 1st Ring show featured one of those comedy wrestlers called Caribbean RUM against idol wrestler Cherry. Cherry is not an Athtress. She works for the Union promotion. But she fits right in at JD Star. RUM is small and JD Star is trying sell her as having some ability but it's very hard to tell against someone as poor as Cherry. RAM won the match at 8:04 with a power bomb they are calling the Caribbean Ram. So they introduced her finisher. Next was a three way match with Leon, Yuki Miyazaki and a masked Caribbean wrestler called Large*, I think. Large* won in 8:33 when she threw Leon out of the ring and put Miyazaki in a clutch submission hold. Afterwards, Leon asked for a match with Large*.
The Caribbean Army theme continued with a mixed match. Caribbean KIM teamed with a guy in a mask called MORIBE against Shuu Shibutani and her surprise partner from DDT Kakimoto. The match was a double DQ at 14:15 when Cherry came in to help Shibutani and the ref lost control. Apparently Kakimoto was upset with Cherry. Obviously the whole idea is to set up this Caribbean heel stable. It doesn't seem very promising.
The main event had Misae Genki & Haruka Matsuo come over from NEO to face Fuuka & Lily Urai. Genki & Matsuo won in 18:59 when Urai accidently nailed Fuuka with a clothesline. Afterwards, Lily Urai apologized to Fuuka and then challenged her to a match for the POP title. That match will happen on Nov. 5. This is the second consecutive time they have teamed Fuuka with a wrestler and followed it up with a title match with that wrestler. Maybe they can't think of another way to do that. Also on that show will be a three way match with Shuu Shibutani, Caribbean KIM, & Sakura Emi and a four way match with Leon, Tanny Mouse, Bullfight Sora & Large*. Expect Tanny to wear a goofy mask.
