US pro wrestler Sybil Starr on Mar. 11 Smackgirl show


Smackgirl has added three bouts to the Mar. 11 evening show at Shinjuku FACE. They have announced two matches for the Smackgirl Killer Queen Flyweight Tournament and a Middleweight Title Eliminator bout. They also announced that the final for the Super Gals Mix Cup Open Weight Tournament will be May 19 at Shinjuku FACE. Of course the main event of the Mar. 11 show is a Flyweight Title bout between Satoko Shinashi & Misaki Takimoto.





The Middleweight Title Eliminator bout is Takayo Hashi & Sybil Starr. Takayo Hashi is a Smackgirl veteran. Her record is 7-1 and her last match was a win over Miki Morifuji on the Nov. 29 Smackgirl show. Indy pro wrestling fans in the US Midwest will be familiar with Sybil Starr. She's from Chicago and started out in the wrestling business as a valet. Eventually she learned to wrestle and lately she has gotten into MMA. She has been trained in MMA by Dan Severn and works for his Price Of Glory wrestling fed in Michigan. Sybil made her MMA debut with a win over Melissa Vasquez on the Nov. 18 Hook 'N' Shoot show. She is also scheduled for Hook 'N' Shoot's Mar. 24 show. This is Sybil's first trip to Japan and as far as I know it's the first time Smackgirl has brought a pro wrestler from the US.

The other two matches are part of the Smackgirl Killer Queen Flyweight Tournament. Mai will face Masako Yoshida. Both are on a losing streak. Mai's record is 6-4 and her most recent defeats were to JD Star wrestler Fuuka & Hisae Watanabe. Yoshida is 13-7-5 and is on a three match losing streak after losses to Lisa Ward, Megumi Fujii & Naoko Ohmuro. The other match is Yukiko Seki vs Eri Kaneya. Seki is 3-8 and is on a four match losing streak, most recently to Ikuko Tamada on the Nov. 29 Smackgirl show. Kaneya is an up and comer in Smackgirl. She's worked mostly for G-Shooto and has a 5-1-1 record. But G-Shooto is not as active and has gone to doing the Battle Mix series with Shooto. Kaneya's last win was over Emi Tomimatsu on the Jan. 26 Battle Mix show.
