Mio Shirai - Female Japanese Wrestlers

I know that when I can't think of anything else to talk about, I usually go to Kana, but today I thought I'd mention one of my other favorite Joshi wrestlers, Mio Shirai.
It's almost like mentioning Kana.
Yeah I know I just posted about Mio and her sister Io when they were the Sexy Purple Thunder Sisters a while back, but Mio has been doing quite a bit in Japan solo.

Mio and Kana defeated Misaki Ohata and Tsukasa Fujimoto on April 21st, 2013 and won the Wave Tag Team Championship, which is the first title Triple Tails.S has had.
Oh yeah, Triple Tails.S is the Mio/Kana tag-team that used to be just called Triple Tails when Io was a member.

Occasionally Mio and Kana have to face each other like they did here at the Regina di Wave Championship tournament.

Ayumi Kurihara To Retire

I mentioned Ayumi Kurihara several months ago in a post about Joshi wrestlers here in the US.
Since then (on Match 28th, 2013) she announced that due to all the injuries she has suffered during her career, she will be retiring from professional wrestling on August 4th.

It's sad but Ayumi has had a great career since she first debuted in 2005.
She has held world championship titles in promotions like Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), Dramatic Dream Team, NEO Japan Ladies Pro Wrestling, Oz Academy, Pro Wrestling Wave, Shimmer Women Athletes and Xtreme Latin American Wrestling.

Io Shirai and Mio Shirai - Female Japanese Wrestlers

Io Shirai and Mio Shirai are two Japanese female wrestlers that were at one time part of the stable Team Makehen and were popularly known as "The Sexy Purple Thunder Sisters".
They debuted in 2007 and made a pretty good name for themselves in wrestling circles working for promotions like
Ibuki, Pro Wrestling Wave, Japanese Women Pro-Wrestling (JWP) Project, Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling and a whole host of others.

In 2010, along with Kana, they formed the very popular Triple Tails stable.
And also in 2010, Mio and Io went to Mexico to work for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA), where they wrestled as Kaguya and Oyuki

In 2011, Io left the group to work on her singles career.
