More details of Daily Sports joshi shows announced


Daily Sports held a press conference today to announce more details of the 60th Anniversary called 2008 Summer Dream. The first show will be July 21 at IMP Hall in Osaka and the second show will be Aug. 3 at Korakuen Hall. The emphasis here will be on nostalgia headlined by the Daily Sports Woman Tag Team Championship. And the big news is that the Jumping Bomb Angels will reunite. Noriyo Tateno & Itzuki Yamazaki were at the press conference. Yoshiko Tamura & Azumi Hyuga were previously announced but with Hyuga out of action, Arisa Nakajima will step in. Also previously announced were Manami Toyota & Yumiko Hotta and Kayoko Haruyama & Tsubasa Kuragaki. They have now added The Double Inoues (Kyoko & Takako Inoue) and The Dynamite Gals (Jumbo Hori & Yukari Omori).





Itsuki Yamazaki said she is very excited to return to joshi for this tournament and is also excited about the return of The Dynamite Gals and looks forward to facing them. She says they want to recreate the spirit of joshi from the 1980s and bring back a lot of memories for fans. They were also joking around about Jumbo Hori as the first joshi grandma. Arisa Nakajima says she is excited to be the youngest wrestler in the tournament and all the wrestlers were excited about the return of the Jumping Bomb Angels. They have belts for this title but I don't know what will happen to them afterwards.





The other big announcement is the debut of a masked wrestler called Tiger Lady. She will team with Commando Bolshoi on both shows. They will face Fuuka Kidd & Ran Maru in Osaka and Jaguar Yokota & Kaori Yoneyama at Kaorakuen. Bolshoi talked about her a bit and says Tiger Lady is a high flyer. I suspect that Tiger Lady is a JWP wrestler like maybe Aska Ohki. Other matches announced for the Osaka show are Dump Matsumoto & Sasori vs GAMI & KAORU, Davil Masami, Ran YuYu & Toshie Uematsu vs Kaoru Ito, Takako Inoue & Hanako Kobayashi and Ayako Sato & Misaki Ohata vs Tyrannosaurus Okuda & Pinkie Mayuca. All this and a battle royal too. And there's more to come.
