The Ladies Ring Festival was Aug. 4 at Shin-kiba 1st Ring with 380 fans in attendance. This was to promote the publication of the joshi puroresu magazine Ladies Ring. The big news is that Michiko Ohmukai announced she will retire on Dec. 9. She will marry a musician named Mr. M the day before her retirement. She says he's the first man she's ever loved more than wrestling. Ohmukai had her 15th anniversary show last January. There were rumours of her retirement a couple of years ago. Ohmukai trained in LLPW but is probably best remembered for her days in ARSION. In recent years she almost seemed like she was sleepwalking through matches but she was a very good performer in her better days.
Another announcement was that retired A To Z wrestler Kana announced her return to joshi. She retired due to sickness in Mar. 2006. She has a real job as a graphic designer. She says she hopes to return in a couple of months. The show itself had an overabundance of silliness. Fuuka defeated Io & Bi in a sumo match in three seconds. Then they had some sort of death match between Kyoko Kimura & Bullfight Sora. It was played for laughs as the two had a milk drinking contest before the match. Kimura won the match.
There was a Battle Princess battle royal. Hanako Kobayashi won over Misaki Ohata with a Fisherman suplex at 13:43. Others in the match included. ASKA Ohki, Francoise, Aya Yuki, Nagisa Nozaki, Hiroyo Matsumoto, Ayako Sato, Makoto, Cherry, Io & Bi. Then there was a tag match determined by fan voting. Michiko Ohmukai & Yuu Yamagata defeated Sachie Abe & Toshie Uematsu when Ohmukai used a B3 Bomb on Abe. The main event was Azumi Hyuga, Fuuka & Arisa Nakajima over Yoshiko Tamura, Shuu Shibutani & Aoi Kizuki when Hyuga used the Michinoku Driver on Shibutani at 24:08.
