Alexa Thatcher going to Japan for MAHEKEN


As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, MAHEKEN is running an all joshi show on June 1 at Shin-kiba 1st Ring. The full card has now been announced and the big news is that popular indy wrestler Alexa Thatcher is going to Japan for the very first time. 21 year old Alexa is from New Jersey and has worked for indy feds in the Northeast US for a couple of years. She has also worked for SHIMMER and last fall worked briefly in TNA as Alexa Jade. MAHEKEN is calling her American Idol. The other gaijin on this show is Hailey Hatred. She has worked for MAHEKEN in the past.





Alexa Thatcher's match on the June 1 MAHEKEN joshi show has the potential to be very good. She will be teaming with AKINO against Toshie Uematsu & Kana. AKINO & Uematsu are seasoned veterans and Kana has been working very well since returning to the ring last fall. So Alexa's athletic style should mesh very well with these three. Hailey Hatred's match against Nanae Takahashi is being billed as Woman Vader Confrontation. Of course MAHEKEN owner Tomo Hashimoto is close pals with Vader and he said that Vader is OK with using his name for this match. On the June 2 MAHEKEN Shin-kiba1st Ring show, Alexa will team with Hailey vs Io Shirai & Arisa Nakajima. He's calling it a Japan-US Confrontation.





The other notable match on the MAHEKEN joshi show will have Mayumi Ozaki vs Mio Shirai in what is being called Ultimate Match Beauty vs Evilness. It will be a rough night for Mio. Other matches are Aja Kong vs Mika Mizunuma, KAORU vs Hiroyo Matsumoto and Commando Bolshoi vs Io Shirai. This will be MAHEKEN's first attempt at an all joshi show and if successful I expect Hashimoto to do it more frequently. He's always trying to recruit new talent and giving the girls their own show is a pretty good incentive. Freelancing is very difficult and a stable home fed is very important.
