5SSW: Dream A Little Dream

[Irish Wolf]

My story starts much like any other story with a dream of the life I wanted to have,a dream that is going to have to go unfulfilled. I wanted to be a wrestler a high flying top rope wrestler my heroes were the Japanese greats Elemental, The Awesome Kiyaru and Awesome Thunder and I wanted to be as good as them. I had natural athletic ability being a gymnast and a martial artist. I had a natural charisma and a talent for using the words that people wanted to here. Most of all I had the drive, the drive to be what I wanted to be. It’s a real shame though that my body just couldn’t live up to the heart I had for the business. Since my heroes were the Japanese legends I traveled to Japan and I camped out at arenas and in front of Dojos, all I wanted was to be trained as a Japanese Super Junior and maybe one day join the BHOTWG Junior Division. I wanted training but my lack of ability to speak any Japanese was a big hindrance but still didn’t stop me from going straight to the biggest names. I hit WLW and Awesome Thunder politely turned me down The Great Hisato not so politely. BHOTWG was next Elemental, Elemental II and The Great Kiyaru all turned me down. Elemental though apparently liked my spunk and he recommend I try some of the workers who weren’t currently working on frequent tours. He specifically sent me in the direction of one worker, “The Fire Fox” Washichi Inao. He said that Inao may not have gone to far in the business but he was a talented high flier and could teach me a lot. Inao was a willing to teach me even with the language barrier, I found out later Elemental put in a word for me which was nice because he didn’t have to. My training began in earnest between the job in the mornings, the training with Inao and the language lessons in Japanese my days were packed. I was with Inao for six months and I was quite moving along as fast as I would have liked when the worst thing in the world that could happen did, I broke my leg. That was it for my training with the broken leg and my lack of progress Inao told me that maybe I was cut out for the business at least not as a wrestler. So that was that no longer be trained I was mad at the world and mad at myself and I spent the next few weeks sulking. Inao finally called me up and asked me to come over to his place to talk. When I got there he sat me down for a heart to heart reminding me that active competitors weren’t the only part of wrestling. He said he had a couple of independent bookings and some of them were with feds where he may need to give an interview or two and his skills on the Microphone left a little to be desired. So for awhile I was the manager of the mysterious “Fire Fox”. So things didn’t turn out the way I wanted them but not everything went wrong. My life in Japan were getting better, I had expanded from just being a manager to doing regular color commentary work, especially now that my Japanese was good. I was being paid enough working in the wrestling world that I didn’t need to work days anymore which was nice. And then the something happened, I was half way around the world from my home in America and I met a girl, not a Japanese girl and American Girl and a wrestler at that. All the way over here in Japan I started dating Joanne Rodriguez who was over here working at 5SSW. I started going to a lot of 5SSW shows after that although I knew very little about the Japanese style of women’s wrestling. They had no real need for managers but I became a fixture in the backstage area and I got to know everyone pretty well. My break came when I heard the owner Sakurako Kagawa and the lead announcer Kuniyoshi Chishu having an argument. Apparently Chishu wasn’t putting his heart into anymore and Kagawa called him on it. Chishu stormed out and that meant there was no announcer for the show. Kagawa didn’t know what to do I’ve seen her announce before but Chishu was better, I went to Joanne and told her what I’d heard and asked her if she’d put in a word for me with her boss. After awhile I was sitting down with Sakurako and we ironed some things out I’d sit out the announce table but as a commentator and she would announce seeing as the fans new her better. The problem she confessed to me was that Chishu was also their head booker and now they had a tour to finish but no one to lay out the shows. I explained I could do it as I was a decent writer and I may not know Joshi one hundred percent but I know the epic battles of good and evil that the fans like. Kagawa seemed trapped but she’d agree, although she made it clear she’d have final say and their would be quite a few rules but we’d talk about them after the nights show. Anyway we did that last show in December and she told me to show up ready to commentate on the first Monday of January and she’d have everything laid out for me. So that’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I left my home country to follow a dream and I’ve ended up on a completely different path. I’ve got a beautiful girl, I’ve got a nice job in the industry I love and I’m now the head booker for the world most famous women’s wrestling promotion.

Good to see women's wrestling getting some action on here, and in Japan to boot. Good luck man, and if things go south for you and Joanne tell her to look me up in Mexico =)

*rubs his hands together* Excellent! :)

[FONT="Arial"][SIZE="2"]So I had a few days and I needed to lay out who was on my roster, I had only seen a few shows since I started dating Joanne and I didn’t really know who was who except for the most popular stars. [CENTER][B]Main Event [COLOR="red"]Crusher Ichihara[/COLOR] / [COLOR="Red"]June Butler[/COLOR] / [COLOR="blue"]Sensational Ogiwara[/COLOR] / [COLOR="blue"]Thunder Hike[/COLOR][/B] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/CrusherIchihara.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/JuneButler.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/SensationalOgiwara.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/ThunderHike.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] The main event scene is pretty even split between faces and heels including the most popular female worker in all of Japan. Crusher Ichihara was our current champion and our top heel and an Old School brawler who has had long standing rivalry with Sensational Ogiwara, our top face and the number one all around woman wrestler in Japan possibly the world. Also in the main event scene is Thunder Hike an incredible technical wrestler and sometimes partner of Ogiwara and also June Butler the Canadian powerhouse and on and off partner of Crusher Ichihara. All in all the top competitors of the company give a solid base to build off of I try and take 5SSW to the top. [CENTER][B]Upper Midcard [COLOR="red"]DEVIL Karube[/COLOR] / [COLOR="red"]Saeko Hiroyuki[/COLOR] / [COLOR="blue"]Kiko Sakakibara[/COLOR] / [COLOR="Blue"]Kit Hatoyama[/COLOR][/B] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/DEVILKarube.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/SaekoHiroyuki.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/KikoSakakibara.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/KitHatoyama.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] The upper midcard has two veteran respected female workers and two up and coming youngsters who have begun to cement their place in the company. Babyface “White Lightning” Kit Hatoyama a top rope sensation came back after two years out of the business and is still popular but needs to gain some momentum with the fans. Saeko Hiroyuki the other veteran high flier has been truly making a name for herself as a heel with her devastating Hiroyuki (Legsweep Bomb) Bomb. Up and comer Kiko Sakakibara is a face who has won the fans over with her flying and technical skills as well as her bubble gum pink outfit from which she gets her nickname. Lastly there is DEVIL Karube who like Kiko brings both a Flying and Technical game and since turning heel has really begun to make a name for herself. [CENTER][B]Midcard [COLOR="Blue"]Joanne Rodriguez[/COLOR] / [COLOR="blue"]Megumi Makajima[/COLOR] / [COLOR="blue"]Yuma Maruya[/COLOR][/B] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/JoanneRodriguez.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/MegumiNakajima.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/YumaMaruya.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] The midcard looks good as well and includes three Americans and all young up and comers with the talent to break out and replace our main stars when they retire. On the face side includes our two top midcarders Yuma Maruya, the current 5SSW All Asian title holder and a decent high flying fun babyface, and my girl Joanne Rodriguez who rivals Yuma in her top rope skills but also brings a good graps of technical skills to the ring. These two already have a handle on in ring psychology which will help mold the other young star including Megumi Nakajima the other midcard face who made her debut in 5SSW not two months ago and is already headed some where with her all around attack style and killer suplexes, including the Nakajima Straight Jacket, Tiger Suplex Variation. [CENTER][B][COLOR="red"]Connie Morris[/COLOR] / [COLOR="Red"]Gorgon[/COLOR] / [COLOR="red"]Saori Nakadan[/COLOR][/B] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/ConnieMorris.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/Gorgon.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/SaoriNakadan.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] The heels include the other two Americans and AAA stars high flying blonde Connie Morris, although I’m afraid she won’t take as she has no charisma and is just unlikable in the ring even for a heel, and bad ass face painted brawler gorgon who seems to be growing more skilled as a technician as she spends time with 5SSW. The heels is Saori Nakadan a technician who with veteran high flier Saeko Hiroyuki make up the tag team of The Bomb Squad. [CENTER][B]Lower Midcard [COLOR="red"]Ikuko Temko[/COLOR] / [COLOR="red"]Raku Makuda[/COLOR] / [COLOR="red"]Tomoko Nakatsuka[/COLOR][/B] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/IkukoTemko.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/RakuMakuda.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/TomokoNagatsuka.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] Three young up and coming heels make up our lower midcard; “The Mistress of Pain” Ikuko Temkno, a brawler and one half of the tag team Seek & Destroy, “The Assassin” Raku Makuda, a masked high flier with a growing technical bent and half of the current tag team champions All Business with her partner and the last of the lower midcard Tomoko Nagatsuka a capabale but not spectacular technician. [CENTER][B]Openers [COLOR="red"]Hunterss Makiko[/COLOR] / [COLOR="Blue"]Chistose Ariwara[/COLOR][/B] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/HuntressMakiko.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/ChitoseAriwara.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] The two workers that make up the openers of 5SSW are the rookie Chitose Ariwara who has a handle on the actual flying but will need a loit of work before she learns to string a match together, and the other half of Seek & Destroy, Huntress Makiko whose technical skills compelent her partners Brawling. [CENTER][B]Enahncment Talent [COLOR="blue"]Otsune Tsumara[/COLOR] / [COLOR="blue"]Tsuki Kawamata[/COLOR][/B] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/OtsuneTsumura.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/TsukiKawamata.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] Lastly we have the rising talent of 5SSW the tag team partner of Kiko Sakakibara in The Rainbow Girls, “High Energy” high flier Otsune Tsumara who like her partner wears very colorful ring attire and the other half of Culture Shock with Joanne, Tsuki Kawamata a top rope worker who also spends time in AAA. Well that at least gives me some idea of who I’ve got to work with and I must say I’m more impressed with this roster then some of the male centered feds I’ve seen, at least in the US. Just need to lay out my tag teams and see what I have to work with there. [CENTER][B]Faces Sensational Thunder Sensation Ogiwara / Thunder Hike[/B] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/SensationalOgiwara.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/ThunderHike.jpg[/IMG] This semi active team includes the top two faces of 5SSW who generally have things going on as singles but will occasionally meet when the foes begin to out number them. [B]The Rainbow Girls Kiko Sakakibara / Otsune Tsumura[/B] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/KikoSakakibara.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/OtsuneTsumura.jpg[/IMG] Called The Rainbow Girls because of the bright and colorful costumes the two wear these two are the top of the active face tag teams in 5SSW. Kiko shows great aerial and technical skills and is by no means a slouch in the brawling department, she has also been one of the most consistent stars over the past few years. Otsune who has been with 5SSW since 2003 hasn’t made as big a leap as Kiko but her Energetic high flying is gaining her popularity as people see her more and more in this team. It is occasionally joked that you can see Otsune’s bright costumes from space something I find very funny [B]Culture Shock Joanne Rodrigue / Tsuki Mawamata[/B] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/JoanneRodriguez.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/TsukiKawamata.jpg[/IMG] These two are a nice young tag team with Joanne already moving her singles career into the midcard with her grasp of psychology, technical and flying skills she should be able to rub off on her partner as she grows into the world of wrestling Heels [B]Destruction Inc. Crusher Ichihara / June Butler[/B] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/CrusherIchihara.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/JuneButler.jpg[/IMG] The other two main event workers in the company also have an on and off team who meet when these two tough as nails brawlers have to gang up on their opponents. Generally reformed when the time comes to meet up with Ogirwara and Thunder in tag team action. [B]The Bomb Squad Saeko Hiroyuki / Saori Nakadan[/B] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/SaekoHiroyuki.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/SaoriNakadan.jpg[/IMG] Saeko is a marvelous high flier who holds the whole team with her veteran status and grasp of in ring psychology. Saori brings some technical skills to the mix and learns, quite quickly, from her more experienced partner. [B]All Business Raku Makuda / Tomoko Nagatsuka[/B] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/RakuMakuda.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/TomokoNagatsuka.jpg[/IMG] “The Assassin” and “The Machine” are defiantly all business when they hit the ring with Tomoko capable but not spectacular technical skills adding to the lighting speed or Raku’s all around game and generally top off by one of Raku legendary high impact finsihers. [B]Seek & Destroy Huntress Makiko / Ikuko Temko[/B] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/HuntressMakiko.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/IkukoTemko.jpg[/IMG] The youngest and least experienced tag team on the Makiko and Ikuko are none the less very intense Huntress being the seek as she clinically dismantles her foes with her technical prowess and Ikuko being the destroy as she powers through the foes with her brutal brawling skills [B]Champions 5SSW World Championship – Crusher Ichihara[/B] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/CrusherIchihara.jpg[/IMG] This is Crushers sixth title reign and she’ll have to lose it and gain it again without Sensational Ogiwara getting her hands on it to match her rivals reigns. She seems reluctant to give up the title though and for Crusher it could very well be time held and not number of times. [B]5SSW All-Asian Championship – Yaku Maruya[/B] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/YumaMaruya.jpg[/IMG] After having her now former tag team partner turn on her Yaku Maruya managed to wrest the title from Joanne Rodriquez. She has held the title for one month and nobody has yet to rival it’s first holders five months and Kiko Sakakibara is probably thankful of that. [B]5SSW Tag Team Championship – All Business (Raku Makuda and Tomoko Nagatsuka)[/B] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/RakuMakuda.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/TomokoNagatsuka.jpg[/IMG] These titles have gone back and forth many times with either Destruction Inc. or Sensational Thunder holding it most of the time. All Business has held them since November of 2006 and hope to hold on to them as long as they can.[/CENTER][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Arial"][SIZE="2"]Half the tour was over and Kuniyoshi Chishu had left a mess I wasn’t even sure where the end of the tour was going. So I threw some things together and presented my vision of the 5SSW Brightest Star Tour together and hoped Sakurako liked it. She laid it out to the women (I’ve learned very quickly not to call them girls) and we were well on our way. She had her people throw up the next leg of the tour on the website and I prepared myself to make the next matches sound as memorable as I could.[/SIZE] [QUOTE][CENTER]T[SIZE="1"][IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/5SSWBST.jpg[/IMG] [B]The 5SSW Brightest Star Tour continues next week Live from Doshisha Athletic Center Kinki Region Monday Week 1 January 2007 Brightest Star Tour Show 13[/B] All Asian Title Match Champion Yaku Maruya versus Huntress Makiko Tag Team Title Match Champions All Business (Raku Makuda and Tomoko Nagatsuka) versus The Bomb Squad (Saeko Hiroyuki and Saori Nakadan) Joanne Rodriguez versus June Butler Thunder Hike versus DEVIL Karube World Title Match Champion Crusher Ichihara versus Kiko Sakakibar1 [B]Live from Hofu Arena Chugoku Region Wednesday Week 1 January 2007 Brightest Star Tour Show 14[/B] DEVIL Karube versus Chitose Ariwara Raku Makuda versus Kiko Sakaibara Megumi Nakajuma versus Kit Hatoyama Sensational Ogiwara versus Gorgon Also Tag Team Title Match Culture Shock (Joanne Rodriguez and Tsuki Kawamata) versus Monday’s winner World Title Match Thunder Hike versus Monday’s winner [B]Live from Doshisha Athletic Center Kinki Region Friday Week 1 January 2007 Brightest Star Tour Show 15[/B] The Rainbow Girls (Kiko Sakakibara and Otsune Tsumura) versus Seek & Destroy (Huntress Makiko and Ikuko Temko) Sensational Thunder (Sensational Ogiwara and Thunder Hike) versus All Business (Raku Makuda and Tomoko Nagatsuka) June Butler versus Megumi Nakajima Also World Title Match Kit Hatoyama versus Wednesday’s winner[/SIZE][/CENTER][/QUOTE][/FONT]

Good to see you having a crack at another diary, 5SSW is probably one of the promotions I know least about. I've always though Kit Hatoyama looks cool though...... This statement amused me from the first show... [B]Connie Morris ended it with an unspectacular springboard moonsault and I wasn’t sure anyone could make that move bland. [/B]

The ones with no finisher have been mostly jobbers as they gain respect and skill so that's why I left them with no finishers. But those are soem good ideas which means I might actually have to let these guys win some matches.

You're doing very good with 5SSW. In my games their shows normally only get a C rating or so.

Very good show! I swear, Sensational Ogiwara could get a B range or better out of a can of paint. :p

Both these women need quite a bit more training before they truly stand against some of the top competitors. Connie Morris end the match with a second rope Leg Drop and a pin.[/QUOTE] [CENTER][B]Culture Shock (Joanne Rodriguez and Tsuki Kawamata) over All Business (Raku Makuda and Tomoko Nagatsuka)[/B] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/JoanneRodriguez.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/TsukiKawamata.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/RakuMakuda.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/TomokoNagatsuka.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [QUOTE]Neither Culture Shock, nor All Business have been able to break past the two top teams in the tag division but they give each other a run for their money. They had a nicely paced match that the crowd could get behind with Joanne Rodriguez looking especially good. After a bit f back and forth my girl J-Ro hit the J-Rocker, Twisting Face Crusher, on Raku Makuda for the win.[/QUOTE] [CENTER][B]Yuma Maruya over Gorgon For the 5SSW All-Asian TItle[/B] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/YumaMaruya.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/5SSWAll-Asian.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/Gorgon.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [QUOTE]When they came out and stood face to face the crowd saw the difference right away, Gorgon stood a good foot or more taller than the champ Yuma Maruya. Gorgon started out as an obvious favorite pummeling the holy hell out of Yuma but once the champ got her second wind the face painted monstrosity could barely catch the pinball. A Dropkick to the knees then another to the head laid out Gorgon long enough for Yuma to hit the 5 Star Supreme Frog Splash for the win.[/QUOTE] [CENTER][B]Kit Hatoyama over DEVIl Karube[/B] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/KitHatoyama.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/DEVILKarube.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [QUOTE]White Lightning and the DEVIL brought the crowd to their feet in a action packed high flying match up. The two women brought everything in their arsenal to bear on each other and made it one for the record books. Kit Hatoyama took the win over the DEVIL Karube by hitting her with the Hatoyama Driver.[/QUOTE] [CENTER][B]Destruction Inc. (Crusher Ichihara and June Butler) over The Rainbow Girls (Kiko Sakakibara and Otsune Tsumura)[/B] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/CrusherIchihara.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/JuneButler.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/KikoSakakibara.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/OtsuneTsumura.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [QUOTE]The Rainbow girls are set to meet up for the 5SSW Tag Team Titles but first they have to survive Destruction Inc. Crusher and June are two of the most powerful women in wrestling today and Kiko and Otsune managed to stay in the ring with them and even meet them evenly in battle. The Rainbow Girls however couldn’t take the win and Crusher Ichihara hit the Skull Crusher Piledriver on Otsune Tsumura.[/QUOTE] [CENTER][B]Thunder Hike over Saori Nakadan[/B] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/ThunderHike.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/SaoriNakadan.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [QUOTE]Thunder Hike met with Saori Nakaadan and almost obvisouly managed to carry the technician to a good match. Even though the match had an equal amount of control by both women, Ogiwara still managed to lok much better than Nakadan by the time the match was over. The Sensational Stunner was the final move of the match allowing Ogiwara to get the win.[/QUOTE] [B][CENTER]Connie Morris over Chitose Ariwara – E+ Culture Shock over All Business – C- Yuma Maruya over Gorgon – C- Kit Hatoyama over DEVIl Karube – B Destruction Inc. over The Rainbow Girls – C Thunder Hike over Saori Nakadan – B Overall: C+[/CENTER][/B] Not quite as good as our past few shows it was still good enough to spread the lgend that is the women of 5SSW. We had an attendance of 447 and they all seemed to leave happy. Things are moving forward although I admit it has been hard to plan a real tour but with half of it over when I started and my lack of knowledge of the women’s strengths has been a slight hinderance but Joanne things I’m doing well even though she’s lost more than she’s one.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Arial"][SIZE="2"]The end of week two and things are beginning to build a head of steam, Sakurako even said the shows never came out like this before and fan reaction has been better than ever. She didn’t even bother asking to see the match up she told me to just take them to the website guys so they can put them up, it seems I’ve gained a bit of trust. I had to remember to change the day of our third weekly show as INSPIRE hired our referee Tsugiharu Odaka and were running their one show on Friday and Odaka would get more notice their so I don’t really begrudge him wanting to be there. The other thing is that our shows will now be one and half hours not just one hour long.[/SIZE][/FONT] [QUOTE][CENTER][IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/5SSW/5SSWBST.jpg[/IMG][FONT="Arial"][SIZE="1"] [B]The 5SSW Brightest Star Tour continues next week Now 1 ½ Hour Shows Live from Doshisha Athletic Center Kinki Region Monay Week 3 January 2007 Brightest Star Tour Show 19[/B] All-Asian Title Match Champion Yuma Maruya versus Connie Morris Saori Nakadan versus Kit Hatoyama All Business (Raku Makuda and Tomoko Nagatsuka) versus The Rainbow Girls (Kiko Sakakibara and Otsune Tsumura) Thunder Hike versus DEVIL Karube Main Event Saeko Hiroyuki versus Sensational Ogiwara [B]Live from Hofu Arena Chugoku Region Wednesday Week 3 January 2007 Brightest Star Tour Show 20[/B] Gorgon versus Tsuki Kawamata Connie Morris versus Joanne Rodriguez 5SSW Tag Team Titles Match Champions The Bomb Squad (Saeko Hiroyuki and Saori Nakadan) versus The Rainbow Girls (Kiko Sakakibara and Otsune Tsumura) 5SSW World Title Match Champion Crusher Ichihara versus Megumi Nakajima DEVIL Karube versus Kit Hatoyama Main Event Sensational Ogiwara versus Thunder Hike Also 5SSW All-Asian Title Match Raku Maukda versus Monday night’s winner [B]Live from Doshisha Athletic Center Kinki Region Friday Week 3 January 2007 Brightest Star Tour Show 21[/B] Ikuko Temko versus Chistose Ariwara Huntress Makiko versus Megumi Nakajima Thunder Hike versus Joanne Rodriguez Also All-Asian Title Match Tomoko Nagatsuka versus Wednesday night’s winner Tag Team Titles Match Wednesday’s Winner will put the titles on the line right away June Butler versus ???[/CENTER][/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE] [FONT="Arial"][SIZE="2"]For some reason bold isn't working on fonts size 1 although it had in the past posts like for the show previews anyway just thought I'd put that out there.[/SIZE][/FONT]
