JD Star's League Princess 07 tournament is now history with the rather convoluted finals being held on the June 17 Shin-kiba 1st Ring show. But first, JD Star has announced thar rookie Athtress Misaki Ohata will continue to train and work for Mariko Yoshida's Ibuki after the promotion closes on July 16. That can only help her. They had previously announced that Fuuka will continue to work for JD Star's parent company Kakutobi. Original Athtress Yumi Ohka announced that she will attempt to return to the ring in an exhibition match on the JD Star July 16 finale. Ohka suffered a serious knee injury in Sept. 2005. She unsuccessfully attempted to return to the ring in Jan. 2006 and has worked in a non-wrestling position since then. This is obviously a last ditch effort to see if her knee can handle the stress in the ring.
The opener was a continuation of the classroom segments that Bullfight Sora has been doing. On this occasion she was facing a mystery opponent. It looks like she was expecting a rookie like Misaki Ohata ot the wrestler now known as ASUKA (JWP rookie Kaori Ohki). So Sora was surprised when GAMI came to the ring and planned to give Sora supplementary lessons. GAMI proceeds to pin Sora in six seconds with a greco roman eye poke. GAMI told her the first lesson is never relax your guard. Sora angrily demands a restart and GAMI wins again by hitting her with her megaphone at 5:13. One more restart and GAMI wins with a shoulder tackle at 2:07. The lesson is over and GAMI leaves. Next was Kyoko Kimura against a mystery opponent. This was Caribbean RUM. RUM knocks Kimura outside the ring with a dropkick. After fighting outside, Kimura accused her of betrayal and hung her in the ropes. Kimura won with the Big Boots at 9:27. JD Star GM Kobayashi apologized to Kimura and they shook hands.
The League Princess 07 final had Yuri Urai, Hiroyo Matsumoto & Arisa Nakajima. The final would consist of successive singles matches, the first to be determined by lot. The winner of the match competes against the other wrestler in the next match. The first wrestler to win two matches consecutively is the tournament winner. Matsumoto & Nakajima were in the first match. Matsumoto won with a backdrop at 5:05. If Matsumoto defeats Urai, she wins the tournament. Matsumoto comes close to winning with a brain buster but Urai hooks in a sleeper for the win at 5:30. Now if Urai beats Nakajima, she wins the tournament. After a stretch muffler and a missile kick, Nakajima wins with a Cutie Special at 10:18. Matsumoto attacks quickly with a bow & Arrow and a camel clutch. Nakajima comes back with three running face busters. Matsumoto's attempt at an Argentinian backbreaker is reversed into a Cutie Special. Nakajima hits a missile dropkick to the back of the head and a German suplex for the win at 6:49. Arisa Nakajima is the League Princess 07 champion. She is also the JWP Junior Champ.
The main event had the three Athtresses team upfor the first time and Yumi Ohka was in their corner. It was Fuuka, Shuu Shibutani & Misaki Ohata vs Ayumi Kurihara, Cherry & Io Murasaki. The Athtresses get Cherry in a Grapple V pose. It's one of those pyramid shaped things with all of them giving a V sign. Kurihara breaks it up and hits Fuuka with a running backbreaker and a 619. The end comes when Shibutani hits a Northern Lights suplex on Murasaki for the win at 14:34. Yumi Ohka said afterwards that if her exhibition match is successful, she will return to the ring full time in September. She also said in a seperate interview that she credits Naomi "The Bloody" Kato for her improvement in the ring. No announcement has been made about Shibutani yet.
