Hiroyo Matsumoto wins JWP Junior Title

The big news from Ibuki's final show of the year on Dec. at Korakuen Hall had Hiroyo Matsumoto finally winning the JWP Junior & POP Titles from Arisa Nakajima. The win was long overdue. Nakajima isn't really a junior anymore and Matsumoto won't be a junior this time next year. It's hard to tell where these belts will go but I suspect the ultimate destination will be JWP wrestler Pinkie Mayuca. Matsumoto wore a new costume for the occasion. Both girls have proven to be hard workers and strong performers and I have come across an edited video of the match on Youtube. So rather than describe the match, just watch the video. This is what happens when both wrestlers really want to have a good match. And Matsumoto used the Liger Bomb as a finisher for the first time since Devil Masami gave it to her. Other matches on the show had Kyoko Kimura & Atsuko Emoto over Natsuki*Taiyo & Shuu Shibutani. There was a match with the debut of JWP trainee Raika in a mask. It was Mariko Yoshida, Ray & Esui over Commando Bolshoi, Tojuki Leon & Raika, Nanae Takahashi defeated Misaki Ohata, Toshie Uematsu & Chihiro Oikawa won over Akiko Narikuni & Aoi Kizuki. Narikuni is an Ice Ribbon wrestler. And Misae Genki made her final Ibuki appearance teaming with Aya Yuki. They lost to Tomoka Nakagawa & Fuuka. But it's great to see Hiroyo Matsumoto win those titles so congratulations to her. Enjoy the video.
