Big surprise at Fuuka's 4th Anniversary show


Japan's number one idol wrestler held her latest Fuuka Matsuri Feb. 24 at Shin-kiba 1st Ring. It was designed as a 4th anniversary show for Fuuka. The most interesting thing to come out of the leadup to the show was Fuuka telling Sportsnavi that she is planning to have her 5th anniversary show at Korakuen Hall. And she said that if the show doesn't draw, she will retire from joshi. Yeah, I know. She's full of baloney. And of course who decides whether the show drew enough fans? But to her credit, Fuuka knows that people think she's lying and when interviewed a second time last week by Sportsnavi, she made a point of repeating that statement. Just remember that Rossy Ogawa is behind the scenes of all this.




The main event of the show was very similar to the surprise appearance of her family at her 3rd anniversary show. Except this year she admitted the lack of entertainment value in Kakimoto Family Theater and she was only doing it for herself. Would you pay money for that? Fuuka teamed with her wrestler brother against her parents and older brother. The match was only 3 1/2 minutes long and it was mostly screwing around. What else would you expect? But the big surprise afterwards had Ultimo Dragon appear on the video screen to congratulate Fuuka on her 4th anniversary. Fuuka announced that she will appear at Dragon Mania 3 at Arena Mexico on May 11. Don't know if she's only going over for the one show or an extended tour.





Fuuka's brother defeated Black Monster at 9:59 with a German suplex. Fuuka Kidd & Io Shirai defated Bolshoi Kid & Bullfight Sora at 13:53. Tojuki Leon defeated Mio Shirai at 10:44 with a Mad Splash. Fuuka & Hikaru defeated AKINO & Shuu Shibutani when Fuuka used a high kick on Shibutani at 18:57. And Fuuka's singing group Panic Power performed before the show. That's the group she has with the Shirai sisters and RICA. RICA is mostly responsible for the music as Fuuka has admitted in interviews that she has no musical talent. Having no talent didn't stop her from becoming a wrestler.
