WAVE signs returning wrestler


Pro Wrestling WAVE had their pre-Valentine's Day show Feb. 13 at Shin-kiba 1st Ring. Since they weren't drawing on Tuesday nights, they've been moving the shows around different nights. They only drew 100 fans to this show. It's better than before but still not good enough. They announced that former Gtkn wrestler Moeka Haruhi is returning to the ring and will work exclusively for WAVE. She'll make her first appearance on the Mar. 12 Shin-kiba 1st Ring show. Toshie Uematsu is training her. I don't remember seeing her before but I guess she's kind of an idol wrestler. It doesn't matter. It's not like she's going to draw any fans.





The opener on this show was between Kyoko Kimura & Misaki Ohata. Ohata has improved since training at Ibuki and she was rewarded on this night with a 15 minute draw. WAVE is doing a rivalry with JWP and Toshie Uematsu is in the middle of that. Her match with Aska Ohki was set up at a JWP show. Uematsu has been doing a grumpy veteran routine in a comical way her win over Ohki with a reversal of a cross body at 9:41 was a way of Uematsu thumbing her nose at JWP owner Commando Bolshoi.





Next was one of GAMI's embarassing comedy matches with Bullfight Sora as her partner vs Kana & Cherry. Kana & Cherry won in 22:27 but the match was used to set up some discord in the winning team and Kana challenged Cherry afterwards and that will happen shortly. The main event was WAVE's ace Yumi Ohka vs Shuu Shibutani. The angle here has to do with KAORU. It's a little convoluted. Uematsu decides who will face KAORU on the next show. Apparently Ohka was pretty good and won over Shibutani with a hanging bomb at 15:09. And Shibutani has shown improvement since returning from Mexico. You might think that the winner would get the match but Uematsu awarded the KAORU match to Shibutani as a way of getting Ohka's goat. Ohka will face Kana and both matches will be on the Feb. 23 show.
