Pro Wrestling WAVE had another weekday show on June 17 at Shin-kiba 1st Ring in front of 67 fans. That's pathetic even for this company. But they had a press conference before the show to talk about a Youth show June 22 at Tokyo Cinema Club. This is supposed to be a show for wrestlers under age 29. I guess that is to do with Yumi Ohka's age. The main event is a JWP vs WAVE Battle Royal. Expect silliness because GAMI was at the press conference saying she was a little confused about the age rules for this match. And though she isn't on this show, Cherry was at the press conference making faces while the other wrestlers were speaking. Of course the age thing is part of her gimmick.
There is also going to be a match on the show featuring BATTLEARTS first ever joshi wrestler. Her name is Chihiro Oikawa. For those who don't know, BATTLEARTS is a pro wrestling company that has a more grounded submission style. It is pro wrestling but minus the usual gimmickry. They have featured joshi matches occasionally but Oikawa is their first trainee. She made her debut vs Mariko Yoshida a couple of weeks ago. She recently went on WAVE's radio show and said she wants to take the BATTLEARTS style to other joshi feds. So they've put her in a match against Fuuka with BATTLEARTS rules. Fuuka has MMA training so this might be OK. I just wouldn't depend on Fuuka to carry a match with a rookie. Other matches are Kana & Shuu Shibutani vs Ayako Sato & Hanako Kobayashi, WAVE vs JWP: Yumi Ohka & Moeka Haruhi vs Arisa Nakajima & Pinkie Mayuca and IBUKI vs MAKEHEN: Hiroyo Matsumoto, Misaki Ohata & Ray vs Io & Mio Shirai & Mika Mizunuma.
The opener for the June 17 show was Cherry vs Moeka Haruhi. Cherry begins with a hammerlock. Haruhi flips her and applies a bow & arrow. They lock up and Haruhi gets a rear chinlock and Cherry gets to the ropes. Cherry bodyslams Haruhi and applies a bow & arrow. She kicks her and gets her in a body scissors. Haruhi escapes and kicks Cherry's leg. Cherry whips Haruhi into the ropes and Haruhi hits a cross body. Haruhi goes to the top rope but Cherry catches her and slams her. Haruhi whips Cherry into the ropes and Cherry cartwheels past Haruhi and hits a dropkick. Haruhi works on Cherry's arm and rolls her up for two. Haruhi elbows out of Cherry's go behind and applies a hanging head scissors. Cherry escapes and wins with her Young Person's Clutch rollup pin at 9:57. Afterwards, Toshie Uematsu & Sayuri Okino rush the ring and attack Haruhi with a kendo stick. Yumi Ohka makes the save. This is obviously going to set up the Idol Army that Ohka was talking about when Haruhi was hired.
Next up was Kana vs Hanako Kobayashi. Kobayashi begins with a hard kick to Kana's back. Kana responds with the same. Kobayashi kicks Kana and mounts her on the mat. Kana counters with a front facelock. Kobayashi gets Kana in a camel clutch. Kana reverses it and applies her own camel clutch. Kobayashi gets Kana in a double toehold and grabs her chin and bends her back. Kana escapes and hits a hip attack followed by a kick, a whip into the corner and a forearm smash. Kana get Kobayashi in a Boston crab but Kobayashi reaches the ropes. Kana hits a knee to the head, a kick and a dropkick. Kana attempts a sharphooter but turns it into a half crab. She kicks Kobayashi but misses a missile dropkick. Kobayashi hits a splash from the top followed by a suplex. Kana gets behind Kobayashi and applies a dragon sleeper. Kobayashi gets to the ropes. Kana whips her into the ropes and Kobayashi hits a lariat followed by a shoulder block from the top rope. Kana hits a German suplex followed by a hip attack from the top rope. Kobayshi rolls her up for two. Kana goes for the dragon sleeper. Kobayashi gets to the ropes but Kana gets the dragon sleeper again for the win at 13:41.
Next up is Yumi Ohka vs Pinkie Mayuca. Mayuca hits Ohka with a forearm smash, whips Ohka into the ropes and Ohka hits a dropkick. Ohka throws her by the hair and stands on her in the corner. Ohka whips her into the ropes and Mayuca hits a cross body. Ohka bodyslams Mayuca and gets her in a surfboard. Ohka gets her in a body scissors and Mayuca turns around and hits her with a series of forearms. Mayuca tries something but Ohka gets a victory roll for two followed by an armbar. Mayuca hits two missile dropkicks for two. Ohka gets a sleeper but Mayuca rolls her up for two. Ohka hits a neckbreaker for two. Ohka hits missile dropkick but Mayuca gets an inside cradle for two. Finally Ohka hits a neck hanging power bomb for the win at 9:02.
The main event is GAMI & Ayako Sato vs Kyoko Kimura & Bullfight Sora. Lately GAMI has been having a comic feus with Sora. She also used to team with Kimura while wearing an afro wig. GAMI approached Kimura before the match to discuss hairstyles. Of course Sato doesn't really belong in this match. GAMI grabs Sora's horns and kicks her in the stomach. Then she gives her a suplex and tags Sato in. Sato stands on her in the corner. They double whip Sora into the ropes and Sora hits a cross body on both. Kimura tags in and traps Sato in the ropes. She whips Sato into the ropes and Sato hits a dropkick and tags GAMI. GAMI blocks a suplex and gets Kimura in a camel clutch and of course grabs her afro. Kimura reverses and gets her own camel clutch followed by some punches in the corner. GAMI hits a backdrop suplex and tags Sato. Kimura gets Sato in the corner and shoulder blocks her. Then a front face hold on the ropes and she pulls Sato off the ropes and drops her on her face for two. Sato hits an elbow drop for two. Then she gets a go behind and rolls Kimura up for two. Sato & Kimura exchange suplexes. Sato pulls Sora on the ring apron. Gami's baseball slide hits Sato by mistake. Kimura & Sora double team GAMI and Kimura leaps over Sora to land on Gami's chest for two. GAMI clotheslines Sora in the ropes. They go up to the top and GAMI takes her down by the horns for two. GAMI tries a full nelson but Sora rolls her up for two. Sora & Kimura hit double suplexes. Sato rolls up Sora and Kimura pins GAMI and the ref counts a double pin at 18:47. Gami complained that she got her shoulder up. It hardly matters. This is leading up to GAMI vs Bullfight Sora on the June 29 Shin-kiba 1st Ring. Apparently this match is about the GAMI & Bullfight Sora characters. If Sora loses, she loses the cow costume and the Bullfight Sora character. If GAMI loses, she goes back to calling herself Mikiko Futagami, will wear a new costume and ditch the megaphone and microphone. Who knows how this will end up?
