Merry Christmas from JWP


JWP had one of their dojo shows on Dec. 23. Not surprisingly, the show had a Christmas theme with some typically silly matches. I'll say what I always say about dojo shows. They don't mean anything in the regular storylines. They're supposed to be goofy fun. Apparently it was very cold so fans were given autographed heating pads. I'm not making that up. The opener was Kei'to & Mayuca Shinzeki vs KAZUKI & Aska Ohki. Of course Shinzeki is the recently debuting 15 year old. The veterans carried the match and KAZUKI used a backdrop and a diving knee drop on Shinzeki for the win at 9:48.





So next they placed a Christmas tree in the middle of the ring. It was Tojuki Leon vs Kaori Yoneyama. The first one to knock over the tree loses the match. Well, you know how this kind of match goes. A lot of close calls and comedy spots. Leon finally touches the tree but it doesn't fall. She tries to throw Yoneyama into the tree but it backfires and Yoneyama wins at 7:19. Next is Azumi Hyuga, Kayoko Haruyama & Sachie Abe vs Commando Bolshoi, Tsubasa Kuragaki & Arisa Nakajima. Of course it's played mostly for comedy and includes a totem pole in the middle of the ring. The end comes when after Haruyama is nailed by diving foot stamps by Bolshoi & Kuragaki, Kuragaki accidently nails Nakajima with a lariat and Haruyama pins her at 15:47.




The main event is a battle royal with all the wrestlers dressed in Santa suits. All twelve wrestlers are in the ring and a throw over the top rope eliminates the wrestler. The order of elimination was Bolshoi Santa, Hyuga Santa, Abe Santa, Kei'to Santa, Shinzeki Santa, Haruyama Santa, Kuragaki Santa. Yoneyama Santa and Leon Santa did a comedy spot where they made a deal and eliminated each other after Leon reneged on the deal. Nakajima Santa threw KAZUKI Santa over the top rope to win at 15:27. Just a little comedy diversion before the big New Year's Eve show.
