Schedule. Sept. 23-26

We have several shows coming up over the next few days. I've already previewed Sunday's schedule, reposted here, with Ibuki #17, SUN's one-day tag tourney, and WAVE's show in Osaka.

Monday the 24th is also busy. There will be a JWP/NEO double shot at Itabashi Green Hall. JWP goes first this time. Highlights include a singles match between Tsubasa Kuragaki and Manami Toyota and the main event, as Azumi Hyuga, Command Bolshoi, and Tojuki Leon clash with Ran Yu-Yu, Keito, and Kaori Yoneyama. The evening is NEO's turn. It looks like they are starting a new comedy angle, as the NEO Machine Gunz duo of Yuki Miyazaki and Tanny Mouse, fresh off of defending their good name and image against the Chinese imposters, now are challenged by "I.G.F.". I think it stands for "Indy Girls Fighting" and is some sort of parody of the Inoki Genome Federation. Yoshiko Tamura battles Tomoka Nakagawa, and Haruka Matsuo's first match as champion is a non-title bout against Etsuko Mita.

The OZ Academy is also in action on Monday. They are in Nagasaki. Devil Masami and Mayumi Ozaki will team up to challenge Dynamite Kansai and Carlos Amano. Oz has announced a 16-woman (well, 13 woman and 3 man) tournament for the #1 contender for Aja's title that will begin next month.

WAVE is in action on Tuesday. KAORU and her new protege, Shu Shibutani, will battle the masked Command Bolshoi and "Dark Mask" Bolshoi (GAMI), and Yumi Ohka's Road to Resurrection continues against Ran Yu-Yu. Also, Saki Maemura and Toshie Uematsu clash in a SUN offer match at a ZERO1-MAX show. Finally, Wednesday the 26th sees Cherry in action at a UNION event against an undetermined opponent.
