More S-Arena joshi videos

I figured I'd have some more S-Arena videos today. The first one is from the Apr. 19 JWP show at Hakata Star Lanes. NEO ran there too. The big deal here is JWP Singles Champ Kayoko Haruyama working in front of her home town family and friends. The video begins with Kayoko at the merch table greeting fans. Saki Maemura makes her final JWP appearance with a win over Arisa Nakajima with the Never Give Up (Majistral cradle) at 11:08. Of course she wins with a rollup. Michiko Ohmukai was in attendance with her son and Tojuki Leon won over Ayumi Kurihara with the Mad Splash at 13:08. Both wrestlers were mentored by Ohmukai as rookies. Her son sure is cute. Kyoko Kimura has a chat with Leon to set up their upcoming match. Kimura was on the NEO show. And then the main event starring hometown girl Haruyama teaming with Commando Bolshoi & Kaori Yoneyama winning over Azumi Hyuga, Aja Kong & Tsubasa Kuragaki. Haruyama got the win over Kuragaki with the Keene Hammer at 20:11. And Leon & Yoneyama cut a promo to finish the video.

The big deal at the NEO show was the return from injury of youngsters Nagisa Nozaki and Nozomi Dai. Aya Yuki wins over Nozaki with a diving elbow drop at 9:45. You can see Nozaki's knee is heavily taped. Tanny Mouse won over Dai with a reverse cradle at 6:45. Of course both look very green. Passion Red had a match against Revolution Amandora and it went to a 30 minute draw which includes a creative use of a cart. The feud continues. Haruka Matsuo continues her road to retirement with a loss to Manami Toyota. Toyota turns Matsuo's Hurricanrana attempt into the Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex at 16:28. The main event has Kyoko Inoue & Hiroyo Matsumoto defending the NEO Tag Team Titles over Yoshiko Tamura & Ayumi Kurihara when Inoue used the Niagara Driver on Tamura at 21:30. Tamura has a big title match coming up that she could win and I don't know if I would job her out right now. Speaking of that, the second video has Nanae Takahashi convincing NEO President Tetsuya Koda to allow her to defend the NEO Singles/NWA Pacific Titles against Sakura Emi at the Passion Red show a couple of days before the big NEO show. Koda is supposedly concerned she'll lose and screw up his big show but he doesn't say much. He probably said yes so she'd leave him alone.


Next is the Apr. 19 Sendai Girls show featuring the conclusion of the Jaja Uma tournament. I didn't think the Ibuki wrestlers could win. Ryo Mizunami is probably the largest of the Sendai girls but does Meiko Satomura believe in her enough to give her the torch? Sendai Sachiko faced Misaki Ohata in the first semi final. Ohata looked better than I've seen her in the past but she has limited ability and it will be tough for her to overcome that. Sachiko won with a German suplex at 10:10. As expected, Mizunami won over Esui with her shoulder hold at 12:49. Boy, is Esui green. Satomura teams with Yukari Ishino to win over Chihiro Oikawa & Minori Makiba. Satomura kicking Oikawa was pretty funny. Satomura yells at Ishino to go win the match and she uses an airplane spin on Makiba at 20:37. The tournament final is very competitive but it's clear that Sachiko is much quicker than Mizunami and she uses that speed to win with a German suplex at 9:20. Sendai Sachiko has a nice cry afterwards. It should be interesting to see if she has what it takes to be the ace of Sendai Girls.

Finally we have a brief look at Pro Wrestling WAVE's Apr. 19 show at Teisen Hall in Sapporo. Nostalgia is always a draw at out of town shows so Jaguar Yokota helped draw 310 fans. By the way, it is normal for joshi companies to draw better outside Tokyo. Jaguar teamed with Toshie Uematsu & Ran YuYu against GAMI, Yumi Ohka & KAORU. I liked when Jaguar blocked GAMI's eye poke. There's a lot of fooling around and KAORU flies. Uematsu wins over GAMI with a rollup at 20:34.
