Three gaijin wrestlers on May 15 Diana show

Woman's Pro Wrestling Diana held a press conference yesterday to announce the full card for their May 15 show at Kanagawa Stadium in Kawasaki. The most interesting thing about this show is Diana owner Kyoko Inoue is bringing three gaijin wrestlers making their Japanese debuts. The main event will have Inoue facing a gaijin wrestler who I think they are calling Mother Andrea. That's the best translation I can get. It could be off. Who is she? You probably know her as Rosie Lottalove when she worked briefly for TNA last year. She's a big girl but she's not a good wrestler. She's best known for seriously injuring Daffney in a TNA dark match. She worked on TNA TV a couple of times before they decided she wasn't very good and released her. In the past, she has worked as Betsy Ruth and Sister Ophelia. Maybe Inoue is giving her a nun gimmick. Inoue will also face teen rookie Sarreee in the opening match. Gaijin number two Annie Social will face Toshie Uematsu. Annie has worked for SHIMMER mostly as a manager but she has also wrestled for companies like DWOW where the wrestling is secondary. Obviously wrestling is not her strong suit. Gaijin number three Rain will face Aya Yuki. Rain is best known for her long running SHIMMER tag team The Minnesota Home Wrecking Crew and was also in TNA briefly as Payton Banks. Recently she has worked for AAA in Mexico and Wrestlicious as Felony. She's a pretty good wrestler and a very good heel. This will be the first time all three will wrestle in Japan. There was a time when a gaijin going to work for a joshi company was a big deal. I'm not sure it is a big deal anymore especially if she's only going for one show. It's not like these three will sell any tickets. Japanese fans don't know them. They're also going to do Aja Kong vs Nagisa Nozaki that was postponed from the first show and a few other matches. It shows that the Diana roster is a little weak.
