Obacchi Iizuka's 10th Anniversary show


So LLPW's Feb. 17 Shin-kiba 1st Ring show was a 10th Anniversary show for Obacchi Iizuka. It's hard to believe a gimmick that lame could last that long. Iizuka was trained by Jaguar Yokota and worked for JD for several years. She had reconstructive shoulder surgery a few years ago and went to LLPW when she returned. Her old woman gimmick is probably one of the most annoying gimmicks this side of Tanny Mouse. I don't like comedy gimmicks anyway but I don't know anyone who likes her.





Other than that, the show was the usual LLPW surreal nonsense. The opener was Harley Saito & Noriyo Tateno vs Kaoru Ito & Ayako Sato. I guess the problem with Sato is she's been in joshi for several years and is still treated like a rookie. The end comes when Ito accidently nails Sato with a lariat and then Saito hits a face kick for the win at 12:30. The trannies were next with Mo over Jukko when he reversed a majistral cradle at 6:20. Not surprisingly, Obacchi Iizuka's 10th Anniversary match was against Jaguar Yokota. Her old JD pals KAZUKI & Yumi Ohka appeared and Jaguar won the match in 6:48.





Next was Jumbo Hori vs Sayuri Okino. Hori has a size advantage but Okino uses heel tactics to beat her up and win at 8:25. The main event continued this Blue Wolf stuff. Yumiko Hotta & a Blue Wolf with a second Blue Wolf at ringside vs Takako Inoue & Mizuki Endo. The match seems the same as previous matches with a lot of brawling outside the ring and Hotta bleeding but in the end, Blue Wolf outfoxed Endo and won with a schoolboy at 20:12. I guess at some point they will even out this angle but who knows when they'll do that.
