Ladies Ring Festival August 4


I have mentioned recently that the editor of Ladys Gong has restarted the magazine as Ladies Ring. The debut issue came out last month. It is being distributed for free right now but he'll charge for the August issue. He is putting on a special joshi show to promote the magazine on Aug. 4 at Shin-kiba 1st Ring. The details of the show have been dribbling out for the last couple of weeks. Some of the matches are convoluted in nature but now that the main event has been set, here are the basic details.





The show will begin with a greeting from the injured Ayumi Kurihara (pictured). He hasn't announced the opening match yet. The second match will be for the POK title belt. I can't remember what that is because it's been inactive since it was held by Tsubasa Kuragaki last year. It's a handicap match with Fuuka against Io & Bi of the Maheken promotion. Apparently it's a best of three falls and the belt goes to whoever gets two pinfalls. So it reads more like a three way than a handicap match. Next is a match between Kyoko Kimura & Bullfight Sora. Of course this might have potential if it was Atsuko Emoto instead of the cow.





Next is a Midsummer Princess Battle Royal featuring younger wrestlers. Already announced ASKA Ohki from JWP, Nagisa Nozaki & Aya Yuki of NEO, Misaki Ohata & Hiroyo Matsumoto of Ibuki, Ayako Sato & Hanako Kobayashi of Ito Gym, Makoto of Ice Ribbon, Cherry from Union and Io & Bi from Maheken. More participants to be announced. Next is a tag team match for wrestlers over 30 years of age. The participants will be determined by a fan vote. That vote is in progress and the leaders are Toshie Uematsu, Ran YuYu, Tsubasa Kuragaki & Michiko Ohmukai. Yuu Yamagata & AKINO aren't far behind so this could change. Finally, the main event will be Azumi Hyuga, Fuuka & Arisa Nakajima vs Yoshiko Tamura, Shuu Shibutani & Aoi Kizuki. That's not exactly what we were looking for.
