JWP

[DebuKingELPS]

Yeah, Arisa vs Kana seems more than likely. I think Kana was talking a bit of shit about JWP at the last show from what my translators can sum up. And since KanArisa aren't in this tag league and no other competitors are really out there and there's not enough time for another title tournament, I see that as the most logical choice.

Block A:
Arisa Nakajima & Command Bolshoi
Hanako Nakamori & Morii
Leon & Neko Nitta

Block B:
Sachie Abe & KAZUKI
Manami Katsu & Rabbit Miu
DASH Chisako & Sendai Sachiko

It's happened kinda quietly but i'm glad JWP has shifted things back to having actual consistent regular teams again with everyone here except Leon/Neko having been together for a while now. Throw in Bari Bari, Yone/Emi & Leon/Ray, Ran/Toshie (for the few months they were around in 2012) and JWP's had a pretty stacked tag division the past year or so.

Big improvement over the garbage that was going on in 2010 or so when there were makeshift teams galore and ppl who'd never even teamed before (& wouldn't team after) were getting title shots.

The main event is the championship of the JWP Tag Team The Best league, with the winner getting a title shot against Haruyama/Kuragaki at Korakuen Hall.

JWP posted a couple of videos on Youtube to hype the upcoming MANIA-X show.

Video #1 sets up Arisa Nakajima vs Yumiko Hotta for the JWP title.

From Bolshoi's blog, more of the MANIA-X card.  Rabiit & Tsukushi will be the cutest little tag team ever.  Nikki Storm. a Scottish wrestler who is the current Pro Wrestling EVE champion, is making a special appearance.  I think she won that title from Emi Sakura.

Undercard's a little meh but i'm hyped for the top 2 matches

99% sure we're getting a tag title change.

Nikki Storm in JWP! Really like the stuff she's done over here. Be interesting to see how she adapts to Japan.

That main event looks interesting.

Updated card down below the quote.  Spoiler alert in case you don't want to know who won the tag league.

Nana Kawasa comes back from a medical issue and the first thing they do is book her against Kana. BRILLIANT!

[Fanboy]

Arisa Nakajima's next challenger for the JWP belt is Kana, as those that have followed recent shows expected.  Apparently they had a backstage brawl after a recent show where they faced against each other in a tag, and scuffled again at the press conference.  The match is still 3 months away, so they will be feuding all summer.  More details: http://ameblo.jp/ringstars/entry-11530960348.html

Obviously only happening because they're friends....

[Eivion]

That seems like a long time to hold off on a title defense.

[Antonio DAMAN]

It's not listed as a title match, at least, not yet.  I'd assume there's a good chance there's a defense on 6/30 at Lazona Plaza Sol in Kawasaki.

You're right, I did go ahead and assume Arisa still has the belt in August.  I'd be shocked if she doesn't; if there's a defense on 6/30, it'll be a throwaway defense.

[DebuKingELPS]

THey didn't list the Hotta/Arisa as falls count anywhere til day of, so who knows.

Interesting that they dropped the Kana/Kuragaki feud so quickly. I was really interested in that one.
