Toyota does her thing in JD Star


The original plan for the main event of the Apr. 30 JD Star show at Shin-kiba 1st Ring was for Fuuka to continue her Topgun series of matches against Manami Toyota. But with Fuuka AWOL, they had to find a replacement and Ayumi Kurihara was chosen. Apparently this was Toyota's first ever appearance on a Grapple Beauty show. So what about Fuuka? It's seems to be a combination of reality and angle. It looks like she did ask for time off to rest but she's returning as she resumed training this week. She posted a pic on her blog of her fooling around with the Mongolian Esi at Yoshida's Gym. Meanwhile, JD Star has turned it into an angle.




The show started with Kyoko Kimura coming out to the ring. This was very similar to what they did last week with Bullfight Sora. Kimura complained that she wasn't on the show and she was told to go away. So she took a seat in the crowd. The opener was a League Princess 07 tournament match between Misaki Ohata & Kaori Ohki. Ohki won their first match at the Junior All Star War. Ohata has yet to win a match. She looks very weak in the ring. She starts out with a series of dropkicks. Ohki gets her in a camel clutch. Ohata attempts a couple of rollup pins. After Ohki throws her own series of dropkicks, Ohata rolls Ohki up for the win at 5:03. Typically, JD Star let her talk. She was very excited about her first win. Then she says she wants Fuuka to return soon and wants to wrestle the senior Athtress because she respects her. Oy vey.




Next was another tournament match between Hiroyo Matsumoto & Murasaki. Matsumoto cntrols the match with a guillotine drop, an elbow attack and a face crusher. Murasaki comes back with a moonsault and a 619. Matsumoto hits a Mac Buster for the win at 6:21. Next is Bullfight Sora vs Commando Bolshoi. Kyoko Kimura mocks Sora as she comes to the ring. Kimura also helps Bolshoi by tripping Sora. Bolshoi wins at 11:06 and Sora gets to face Vanessa on May 4. Next was Shuu Shibutani & Cherry vs Mai Ichii & Yuri Urai. The end came when Ichii accidently nailed Urai with a high kick and Shibutani used a diving senton for the win at 14:22.




The main event was Manami Toyota vs Ayumi Kurihara. Toyota chose to work with Kurihara. Kurihara starts with dropkicks. Toyota counters with a camel clutch. Toyota does her standard dropkick to opponent in the ropes. Kurihara counters with an Achilles hold. Toyota hits a missile kick. Kurihara counters with an arm breaker. Toyota lands outside the ring and Kurihara hits a Plancha from the top rope to the floor. Back in the ring, Kurihara hits a missile kick then blocks a Japanese Ocean Cyclone suplex then follows with a back throw. But Kurihara misses a diving body press. Toyota hits two German suplexes and the Japanese Ocean Cyclone suplex for the win at 21:13. Afterwards, Toyota said she was very happy to be in Grapple Beauty and was very happy with the match. She also teased that she might face Shuu Shibutani. But she decided to team with Kurihara on the May 4 show against Shibutani & Natsuki*Taiyo. I have posted another slide show with 85 pics from the show.
