Joshi Puroresu and YouTube

If you just cant get enough Joshi, I have a couple of really good stops for you on YouTube.

The first is nagashimark's channel.
There you can see matches with soon to be TNA star Ayako Hamada, Nanae Takahashi, Kaori Yoneyama, Chikayo Nagashima, Devil Masami, Plum Mariko, Chigusa Nagayo and Cutie Suzuki.
The url is http://www.youtube.com/user/nagashimark
It might be a good idea to subscribe too because new videos get posted on a regular basis.

My next favorite Joshi channel on YouTube is DoubleMiz.
Lots of Joshi greats here too like Momoe Nakanishi, Ayako Hamada, Mariko Yoshida, Mima Shimoda, Mayumi Ozaki and Megumi Kudo.
The url is http://www.youtube.com/user/DoubleMiz
DoubleMiz also has a Veoh page here: http://www.veoh.com/users/ringmistress
And DoubleMiz's channel is another good one to subscribe to.

Ayako Hamada Coming to TNA

Ayako Hamada Coming to TNA

I have written about Ayako Hamada several times here on this blog.
Now the daughter of the legendary Gran Hamada is leaving Japan and Mexico to become a TNA Knockout.
With joshi puroresu on the decline in Japan, now is probably a good time for American wrestling promotions like TNA and WWE to start grabbing some of the talent there.
Ayako's wrestling background is impeccable, and I think it'll be great for her to get exposure here in the US.
It might even help breathe some like into Japan's wrestling scene.
So far there has been no official announcement at TNA Wrestling.com.

Joshi Puroresu News

Sad news.
Chris over at Joshi Puroresu News posted this today:

This time it is the end!
I have to stop updating this blog i am afraid as i simply do not have time to keep it up to date. Sorry if you rely on Ice Ribbon results being translated but its quite easy to do yourself anyway with a copy & paste and an online translator. Romaji translator is what i use.
Thanks for all people who have come here over the last few months. The blog will be kept alive in archive mode. LL!

This is sad because his blog was a really good source of up to date Joshi Puroresu news.
He had matches, results, info and really good pictures.
I hate to see the blog go, but I hope it will be back in the future.

SENDAI Girls' Pro Wrestling

Meiko Satomura, one of the co-founders of SENDAI Girls

Founded in 2005 by Meiko Satomura and Jinsei Shinzaki, SENDAI Girls' Pro Wrestling is a Japanese female wrestling promotion based in the city of Sendai, Miyagi in the Tohoku region.
It is also known by SGPW and Senjo.
Meiko Satomura was a successful female wrestler in the 2000's, wrestling for promotions like GAEA Japan where she was both a two time singles champion and two time tag team champion.
Jinsei Shinzaki, a male pro wrestler is the prsident of Michinoku Pro Wrestling. He wrestled in the US for the WWF and ECW.

At first, Satomura was the only experienced wrestler on the roster, and she served as not only a wrestler, but also the trainer and booker.
SENDAI held it's first show on July 9, 2006 at Sendai's Sun Plaza.
Because of the small roster, the matches consisted of Senjo's first four wrestlers making their debuts in singles matches against four experienced female wrestlers.

And because of the small roster size, most of their shows are SENDAI Girls versus other promotions, which over here would be like WWE and TNA wrestlers facing each other at a show, or WWE and ROH.

According to their website, their roster currently stands at:
DASH Chisako
Hiren
Meiko Satomura
Ryo Mizunami
Sendai Sachiko
Yukari Ishino
