The main event of the Nov. 12 Shin-kiba 1st Ring show was supposed to have Mariko Yoshida teaming with Fuuka against Shuu Shibutani & rookie Hiroyo Matsumoto. Unfortunately, Yoshida broke her nose in her match against Yoshiko Tamura and was replaced by Cherry. Oh, well. I guess you get who you can at the last minute. It turned the show into the usual mix of idol wrestling and bad comedy. Better luck next time.
The opener was between veteran Leon vs rookie Yasusato Nakajima. They worked hard but the end was never in doubt. Leon won in 10:25 with a spear and a splash. Next was a tag match with Bullfight Sora and the masked wrestler who is part of the animal army corps against Yuki Miyazaki & Kayoko Haruyama. Of course it was played for comedy and the masked wrestlers won in 10:06. Another comedy match with Caribbean KIM & MORIBE vs Misae Genki & Lily Urai. The Pirate wrestlers are obviously going to go over and KIM used her Caribbean Ram on Urai to win in 11:57.
The main event is Fuuka & Cherry vs Shuu Shibutani & Hiroyo Matsumoto. Obviously the original plan was for Fuuka & Yoshida to win. It doesn't work as well with Cherry. Matsumoto looked good at the end of the match and pounded Fuuka with body slams and an Argentine back breaker. But Fuuka escapes and wins with a high kick at 20:58. My guess is they're going to resume the Fuuka/Shibutani feud. But Matsumoto stepped up and showed some energy. Let's keep an eye on her.
