Ibuki had their latest show on Sept. 23 at Shin-kiba 1st Ring with 339 fans in attendance. It had the usual mix of veterans and youngsters. The opener had JWP rookie Asuka Ohki vs Mio Shirai of MAHEKEN. Mariko Yoshida said on her website that Ohki is a little more polished in the ring. Ohki controlled the first part of the match with ground work. Mio came back with a missile dropkick and a face buster. Ohki won with a missile dropkick at 8:07. Next was Sakura Emi & rookie Yuko Motohashi over Misaki Ohata & Hiroyo Matsumoto when Emi used something called a Meow Meow press on Ohata. The match was spotty because of the inexperience of Ohata & Motohashi. Yoshida says Ohata has improved.
Next was the boss herself Mariko Yoshida vs Tomoka Nakagawa. Nakagawa attacked Yoshida at the bell. But Yoshida weathered the storm and attacked Nakagawa's knee and then her arm. Yoshida says Nakagawa is stronger than her. Maybe she's just trying to put her over. Yoshida hit an Air Raid Crash for two count and then made her tap out with a crab at 16:52. Next was Atsuko Emoto vs the teenager NAO. Emoto is more powerful so NAO has to use her speed. But Emoto got her in a stranglehold and finished her with the BB Buster at 13:47. Afterwards, Emoto said she respected NAO and is looking forward to her trip to Mexico.
The main event was Kyoko Kimura & Cherry vs Shuu Shibutani & Aoi Kizuki. Kimura was in a very bad mood and beat up Shibutani & Kizuki for most of the match. Cherry hits a dropkick. Shibutani comes back with a diving Senton and then Shibutani & Kizuki hit a double dive outside the ring. But then Kimura takes control again. While Cherry keeps Shibutani occupied, Kimura hits Kizuki with a jumping lariat and the Big Boots for the win at 23:47. Afterwards, Kimura got on the mic and berated Shibutani. Shibutani started crying but Kizuki grabbed the mic had some words of encouragement. The moral of the story is don't mess with Kyoko Kimura.
