April 1 JWP Dojo show is all wet


Five of the wrestlers who were on the Mar. 31 New AJW show had to rush back to Tokyo to appear on JWP's Apr. 1 Dojo show. JWP always does a lot of very goofy things on their dojo shows to the point where you might thing it's an April Fools joke. But they do goofy stuff all the time on these shows. The main event was a combination battle royal and a swimming pool match with a little cosplay thrown in because they don't have enough wrestlers to have a real battle royal. Swimming pool? This has been a staple of JWP for years.





The opener was a useful match as it heralded the return to the ring of rookie Kaori Ohki. She had been out for a few weeks with some sort of illness. I guess they want to be sure she is ready for next week's Discover New Heroine tournament. So it was Commando Bolshoi & Tsubasa Kuragaki vs Kaori Yoneyama & Kaori Ohki. The match is even when Yoneyama is in there. Kuragaki gives her a power slam and Yoneyama comes back with a backbreaker. Ohki gets a little offense on Bolshoi but Kuragaki clobbers her with a brain buster. Bolshoi finishes Ohki with a submission hold at 10:32.





Next is a bullrope match between Kayoko Haruyama & KAZUKI. KAZUKI drags Haruyama outside the ring and uses the bullrope to get Haruyama in an STF. But Haruyama wins by wrapping the bullrope around KAZUKI and pinning her at 9:35. Next was Azumi Hyuga vs Arisa Nakajima. Hyuga starts off with a camel clutch, a hair whip and a sleeper. After Nakajima counters with a couple of dropkicks, she goes for the Cutie Special. Hyuga blocks this and hits a face crusher. Nakajima comes back with a stretch muffler. Hyuga brings out the Giant Swing followed by a missile dropkick and a Gannosuke clutch for the win at 9:30.






The main event is a goofy battle royal. There is a blue vinyl wading pool in the ring. A wrestler can be eliminated by being thrown over the top rope, soaked in the pool or pinned. An eliminated wrestler can return to the match by changing into a costume. This can be a costume normally worn by another wrestler or some other type of a costume. How's that for a twist? This was pretty silly. KAZUKI won the match in 22:41 dressed as Sachie Abe. The elimination was in the following order: KAZUKI, Kaori Yoneyama, Commando Bolshoi, referee Seshi Go, Azumi Hyuga, Tsubasa Kuragaki, Kayoko Haruyama, Leon, Kaori Ohki, Arisa Nakajima, Tiger Honey (Hyuga), Hawaiian Bolshoi complete with grass skirt, Kaori Yoneyama dressed as Leon, Kaori Ohki dressed as a schoolgirl, Electric Wave Mask Woman, Western Bolshoi, Bolshoi Kid, Azumi Hyuga dressed as Sachie Abe, Leon dressed as Yoneyama, Yoneyama dressed as a schoolgirl, Kaori Yoneyama dressed as KAZUKI was the final elimination. KAZUKI was dressed as Sachie Abe and won the match with a Majistral cradle. Yuk yuk. Maybe this was more entertaining in person. Only Bolshoi could come up with this stuff. Next week the Discover New Heroine tournament begins.
