Ayumi Kurihara returns at Pro Wrestling WAVE


Pro Wrestling WAVE held thei latest show Dec. 4 at Shin-kiba 1st Ring. The big news is the return of Ayumi Kurihara from injury. Most fans are aware that she suffered a shoulder injury in the summer and she look longer than expected to return but as long as she's healthy, who cares. Her match was a three minute exhibition with Michiko Ohmukai. Toshie Uematsu was special ref. Because Kurihara trained at M's Style, she really wanted to return for the Dec. 9 Michiko Ohmukai retirement show. I think she would have been very disappointed to miss that show. She's a good little wrestler and it's good to see her back in the ring.





Once the exhibition was finished, it was Ran YuYu vs Aska Ohki in Challenge WAVE. Ran controlled the match and Ohki tried some flash pins but Ran won with a diving knee drop at 12:34. Next was the continuation of Resurrection WAVE with Yumi Ohka facing Hiroyo Matsumoto. Matsumoto won their match a couple of months ago. It looks like Ohka has improved lately and is getting better results. It was a very good seesaw match that ended in a 20 minute draw.





The main event was Comical Hyper WAVE. It was Michiko Ohmukai, Bullfight Sora & Yuki Miyazaki vs GAMI, Kyoko Kimura & AKINO. You may have heard that GAMI is wearing an afro wig as part of an angle she's been doing with Kimura. You'll be pleased to know that AKINO didn't wear an afro. Of course it was the kind of comedy shtick that you would expect sprinkled with a little lucha since Sora just returned from Mexico. There was actually a double pin with simultaneous hurricanranas. So the match was restarted and the end came when GAMI & Kimura bumped heads. Miyazaki kissed GAMI (paging Mickie James) and Akino hit a tiger suplex for the pin at 20:10. Afterwards, GAMI gave a bouquet of flowers to Ohmukai. There were 118 fans at the show so the gate is improving.
