WAVE on COMM - WAVE COLLECTION 5: March-June 2009 - (3 1/2 hrs)
April 4, 2009, Tokyo - Shin-Kiba 1st RING (182 fans)
1. 9-Women Uematsu Royal Rumble [*]
--- Quite a fun rumble in it's low-ki way of everybody using old Toshie Uematsu costumes from her old green rookie-wear to her more later punk style. This was also for the Ironman belt which Haruhi ended up winning in a lucky double pinfall situation.
8:58 of 17:46 - Moeka Haruhi win the 9-Women Uematsu Royal Rumble
2. Nanae Takahashi -vs- Yumi Ohka [**]
--- Ohka facing another established joshi star and as usual she does get beat in singles competition. But not without a fight. Though it was Nanae who was doing most of the offencive fighting. Ohka did do a good profile while being out-matched, but wasn't strong enough to fight off the more powerful Nanae. Though Nanae wasn't strong enough to catch a flying Ohka on one of their main spots of the match. Still it was a solid battle going back and forth for the pinfall attempts until Nanae hit the 'racca.
9:39 of 19:04 - Takahashi pinned Ohka with a Nanaracca
April 15, 2009, Tokyo - Shin-Kiba 1st RING (173 fans)
3. Yumi Ohka & Haruka Matsuo & Saki Maemura -vs- Ayumi Kurihara & Shu Shibutani & Ayako Sato [* 3/4]
--- Started out kind of silly in true modern joshi way, but once they got to the action portion of the match it was quite good actually. Too bad they didn't take the whole thing seriously. The retiring girls Maemura & Matsuo get win in their final match in WAVE as they team with Ohka who actually gets the win. No real surprise as this is her own generation she's facing. Shibutani took a hard beating at the end and looked done for once Ohka landed the Tiger Suplex.
10:20 of 11:21 - Ohka pinned Shibutani with a Tiger Suplex
April 19, 2009, Sapporo Teisen Hall (310 fans)
4. Akino -vs- Shuu Shibutani [*]
--- Decent but at the same time nothing special. It was a veteran vs rookie mentality match-up that we see too often on todays joshi scene. At least Akino isn't a selfish lady and gave Shibutani plenty of chances to look good in defeat. The end came a little out of the blue for me, but the backdrop suplex did land good.
5:35 of 11:56 - Akino pinned Shibutani after a backdrop suplex
April 29, 2009, Tokyo - Shinjuku FACE (242 fans)
5. Kana & Chihiro Oikawa -vs- Shuu Shibutani & Misaki Ohata [*]
--- Running around and doing their thing. A little bit Battlarts, but still very joshi and not really much sticking out except Oikawa managing to beat Shibutani very clean with a front necklock.
8:12 of 11:14 - Oikawa made Shibutani submit to a front necklock
6. Noriyo Tateno & Harley Saito -vs- Gami & Ayumi Kurihara [* 1/2]
--- I really wish they'd not done the bullshit comedy early on because after that this did become a nice 4th Anniversary Match for Kurihara facing the veteran LLPW team of Saito & Tateno. Kurihara gets beat up as usual, but her spirit lives while getting the trashing. And Saito delivering a released Tombstone on her was cool. Not much was left of Kurihara after that and all that was needed was a buster fisherman's style.
10:16 of 16:59 - Saito pinned Kurihara after a fisherman's buster
7. Ironman Title Royal Rumble [3/4*]
--- A wild rumble for the Ironman Title which changed hands before and during the match with champions such as a poster and a stuffed Jun Kasai doll as well as some wrestlers. This ranged from very embarrassing with invisable wrestlers, toys and bad comedy to mildly amusing as Big Japan's Numazawa was a guest holding the belt for a short while before Uematsu pinned him for it. In the end it was Bullfight Sora who won the Rumble and could leave as the 790th champ.
9:47 of 19:19 - Bullfight Sora win the Ironman Title Royal Rumble
8. Nanae Takahashi & Yumi Ohka -vs- Azumi Hyuga & Hanako Kobayashi [* 1/4]
--- Kobayashi wasn't at all good and ruined some of the early parts of the match all by herself, but once the climax portion of the match came this came alive. But with Ohka fighting Kobayashi for the finish the result wasn't all that surprising with Ohka using her Tiger Suplex again to grab the victory. Most of the quality came from the veterans in this match. Again not surprising.
10:29 of 18:52 - Ohka pinned Kobayashi with a Tiger Suplex
May 27, 2009, Tokyo - Shin-Kiba 1st RING (161 fans)
9. Ran Yu Yu & Shuu Shibutani -vs- Gami & Ayumi Kurihara [*]
--- Too much Gami nonesense kept a otherwise decent match down, but a reward at the end with the WAVE boss losing....
11:35 of 22:36 - Yu Yu pinned Gami after a elbow smash
June 10, 2009, Tokyo - Shin-Kiba 1st RING (138 fans)
10. Mima Shimoda & Kana -vs- Yumi Ohka & Moeka Haruhi [* 1/4]
--- Kind of messy and fun at the same time watching Shimoda bully Haruhi. At least Shimoda brought some personality to the rookie running around these matches consists of most of the time. Shimoda wins with what's become the most dangerous move in WAVE - the Tiger Suplex.
10:22 of 17:49 - Shimoda pinned Haruhi with a Tiger Suplex
June 20, 2009, Tokyo - Shin-Kiba 1st RING (176 fans)
11. Bullfight Sora & Fuka -vs- Gami & Moeka Haruhi [1/2*]
--- Mostly lame Gami comedy which is not good.... for anything.....
11:52 of 18:15 - Fuka pinned Gami with a modified schoolboy
June 28, 2009, Osaka World Hall (204 fans)
12. Toshie Uematsu & Kana -vs- Mio Shirai & Io Shirai [* 1/2]
--- Decent running around style joshi match keeping it mainly serious and with the energy up. Not science though. It was fairly standard for a modern joshi match, but anything without the dreadful comedy is a relief. The Shirai's worked hard, but no reward here as Uematsu was the cunning one using her modified small package.
8:37 of 11:23 - Uematsu pinned Mio with the Solarina small package
13. Sakura Candle (Yumi Ohka) & Policewoman -vs- noki-A & Bullfight Sora [1/2*]
--- Masked ladies match with Yumi Ohka wrestling under the Sakura Candle gimmick winning with the Candle Twist which is a version of the Cobra Twist. Not a very impressive match.
8:35 of 15:27 - Sakura made Sora submit to a Candle Twist
March 20, 2009, Osaka World Hall (199 fans)
14. Mio Shirai & Io Shirai -vs- Kyoko Kimura & Mikado - (Dual Duelist Young Tournament - Round 1) [* 1/4]
--- Tag tournament begins and it's the Shirai sisters against a very random team of wild Kimura and fatgirl Mikado. With Mikado there this would never reach any major climax, but the sisters worked hard enough to cover up for most of her short-comings. Huracanrana victory for the sisters.
7:06 of 13:41 - Io pinned Mikado with a huracanrana
15. Apple Miyuki & Cherry -vs- Kana & Chihiro Oikawa - (Dual Duelist Young Tournament - Round 1) [1/2*]
--- Didn't really establish much before Cherry locked in a sleeper out of nowhere for the win.
4:21 of 11:04 - Cherry made Oikawa submit to a sleeper
16. Moeka Haruhi & Tomoka Nakagawa -vs- Kayo Fujimori & HARU - (Dual Duelist Young Tournament - Round 1) [*]
--- Not exactly big names on the joshi scene, but Nakagawa and Fujimori somehow got a rather exciting finish with Fujimori nearly grabbing an upset before Nagakawa showed that she is the best girl in this match landing for once a good low-angle lariat to pin Fujimori.
6:23 of 13:48 - Nakagawa pinned Fujimori with a low angle lariat
17. Shu Shibutani & Ayumi Kurihara -vs- Hanako Kobayashi & Misaki Ohata - (Dual Duelist Young Tournament - Round 1) [* 3/4]
--- A inspired speedy cradle bout. Basic as it gets, but their hearts were into it and they tried their best to give the fans a exciting fight with countless near falls until they ran out of time. A re-start of course and more of the same happend until Kurihara managed to bust out some more advanced offence killing Ohata with a Hiroshi Hase throat slam suplex.
5:18 of 15:00 - Shibutani & Kurihara wrestled Kobayashi & Ohata to a 15:00 Time Limit Draw
2:35 of 2:51 - Kurihara pinned Ohata after a throat slam suplex
March 25, 2009, Tokyo - Shin-Kiba 1st RING (144 fans)
18. Moeka Haruhi & Tomoka Nakagawa -vs- Shuu Shibutani & Ayumi Kurihara - (Dual Duelist Young Tournament - Semi-Final) [*]
--- How could you Shibutani?! Lose to Haruhi of all people?! Booooo!
6:01 of 13:14 - Haruhi pinned Shibutani with a Victory Roll
April 4, 2009, Tokyo - Shin-Kiba 1st RING (182 fans)
19. Mio Shirai & Io Shirai -vs- Apple Miyuki & Cherry - (Dual Duelist Young Tournament - Semi-Final) [*]
--- Apple & Cherry looked strong early on in the match and looked to have it won a couple of times, but the sisters wasn't giving up and fought impressivebly back with Io knocking the Kaientai Dojo wrestlers down with the Purple Flash.
6:01 of 15:13 - Io pinned Miyuki after a jumping headkick
April 29, 2009, Tokyo - Shinjuku FACE (242 fans)
20. Mio Shirai & Io Shirai -vs- Moeka Haruhi & Tomoka Nakagawa - (Dual Duelist Young Tournament - Final/TLW Tag Title Decision) [* 3/4]
--- Final time and it was quite exciting. I'm still sure it would have been better had they let Shibutani & Kurihara beat Haruhi & Nakagawa in the semis, but this is what we got. They did work hard, espeically the sisters who made sure this one was at a better level then what they other two usually produce. It's still your basic joshi match with some highspots from the Shirais to spice things up a little before they won the tournament and also the newly created TLW Tag Titles with a simple schoolboy.
11:00 of 18:10 - Io pinned Haruhi with a schoolboy. Mio & Io become the 1st TLW Tag Champions.
COMMENTS: WAVE action covering March to June with the inclusion of the Dual Duelist Young Tournament at the end. Some decent action and some really lame action. Typical modern joshi.
