Here's the S-Arena video report for the Dec. 20 Sendai Girls show at Zepp Sendai. It's their first show in several months as they have had a rash of injuries. Hiren is still out. The big news is that Meiko Satomura returned from back surgery to get retribution against Azumi Hyuga. Of course as most fans are aware, Hyuga broke Satomura's face with a high knee in 2007. You'll see that as part of this package. She has a steel plate in her face so that isn't a concern. But Satomura has had three back surgeries since 2004 so you'll notice as you watch the clip that she's not doing power moves anymore. She went to Thailand for Muay Thai training so she's doing a lot of that. And you'll notice that she's turned to the sleeper as her new finisher. Obviously she needs to be more careful but she looks pretty good. Working with Hyuga helps. In the first video, we have Yukari Ishino against some Ice Ribbon girl. They are planning to rename Ishino. DASH Chisako in new gear wins over Esui with a nifty armbar. And Ryo Mizunami (also in new gear) wins the JWP Junior & POP Titles from Misaki Ohata as expected. Considering what Satomura is trying to accomplish with Sendai Girls, the promotion has been a failure as they have debuted only a handful of wrestlers since 2006. And remember Mizunami trained at GAEA in 2004. That must be disappointing to Satomura but they're doing OK because they're a regional promotion. Still, one has to wonder how patient owner Jinsei Shinzaki will be if they don't attract enough new recruits in the next year. I don't expect recruiting to get any easier. Enjoy the videos!
