EXCLUSIVE: Interview with Amy Chen and Xi Xing

By Miho Murai

When I found Amy Chen and Xi Xing After their match this past Sunday, Their faces told a much different story then they had before.  Before, Amy's face was excited yet her body was jittery and nervous. Xing's composure was stoic as usual, but you could see in her eyes the hopefulness she carried for this match.

OJ-FWA 『ユーキ』祭り２０１１のCM － Yuuki Matsuri 2011 Commercial

Ladies and gents, the anticipation in the OJ-FWA lockerroom is building as Yuuki Matsuri 2011 is a few short weeks away!





The Card:

1. Eriko Hasegawa vs. Ai Aoki
Merely an exhibition match, but important for a few reasons. First, Eriko made her OJ-FWA debut at the last Yuuki Matsuri in 2007. Secondly, Aoki, who made her debut at SNF 2 (and who also is the daughter of the late Shinzo Aoki, founder of the original OJPW who tragically killed himself when business tanked).

See Eriko's debut match here.


2. Russ Morgan vs. KAZU
Russ Morgan, the drastically improving transplant from New York's SRW will take on the legendary KAZU. Will his experiences from the previous Yuuki Matsuri hinder his performance?

See Russ Morgan in action in SRW versus fellow OJ-FWA competitor SHALLOW here.

See KAZU in action against OJ-FWA co-counder John "(C)" McKay here (a near 20 minute CLASSIC).


3. Sasori vs. Shiroko
Sasori was scheduled to face Shiroko at SNF 2, but an attack from SEA's Sai prevented that. Shiroko is back and is, needless to say, not very happy. What will happen when the technical mastery of Sasori meets the blind rage of Shiroko?

See Sasori in Yuuki Matsuri action from 2005 against Moemi Amano here.

See Shiroko in her destructive debut at the first SNF here.


4. Brad Harris vs. Tiger Miyazawa
After being defeated by Harris in a no-dq falls-count-anywhere match on OJ-FWA World Tour, Miyazawa took the low road and viciously attacked Harris from behind twice. Did this give Miyazawa the psychological advantage, or will Harris' acquisition of the managerial services of Moemi Amano lead him to victory?

See Brad Harris and Tiger Miyazawa in the encounter that started it all here.


5. So Ryung Park vs. A-Hole Ronald
At XGWL's Global Warning event, Ronald viciously attacked Park. Will this match be the end of the feud, or will it be the end of Ronald?

See So Ryung Park's first, and until this year, ONLY Yuuki Matsuri appearance versus a well-known female athlete in 2003 here (the reason being that back in the day, Yuuki Matsuri was an FWA event, and Park was an NOJ competitor).

See A-Hole Ronald's last Yuuki Matsuri appearance against Russ Morgan here.


6. Moemi Amano vs. Mary Riegan (C) for the Joshi Sekai Championship
Having won a four-way match to determine the number one contender to the Mary Riegan's Joshi Sekai Championship, Moemi Amano is determined to win in her first championship opportunity.

See Moemi Amano's "wrestling" debut (in Glitter Pro) here.

See Mary Riegan's most recent title defense (as seen on OJ-FWA FIGHT! TV) against Co-Founder Reiko Hikawa here.



7. Hidenori Tsujimoto (C) vs. BINGO-1's Caleb Dod for the Sekai Ningen-kyu Championship
Caleb Dod (from the BINGO-1 promotion) ran roughshod over the competition during the most recent Champion's Soul tournament and went ahead to win the competition.

The contract for the match was signed right away, but immediately after, Tsujimoto, the champion, was viciously attacked. Having suffered extreme physical and psychological trauma as a result of the incident, Tsujimoto wants nothing more than revenge.

See Caleb Dod in a Champion's Soul match against SMN's C-Block here. See Caleb in action outside of OJ-FWA here, in this WILD promotion match against OrochiGeese.

See a young Hidenori Tsujimoto (before donning the AKi-Man gimmick) in 2003 against a well-known puroresu name here.

Other past Yuuki Matsuri matches of note:

2007: Mary Riegan vs. Agent Zero (C) for the Joshi Sekai Championship
2007: Yubari vs. Kata Mary (LAWL)
1996: Reiko Hikawa vs. Misato "The Cat" Kubodera (C) for the Joshi Sekai Championship
1993: Reiko Hikawa vs. a famous joshi name of that era

There may be more classic matches from Yuuki Matsuri's past added as the days go on, so be on the lookout!

Matsumoto TV Special Report - Post FIGHT TV Interviews with Mary Riegan and Reiko Hikawa

**SPOILER ALERT - This report will reveal the result of the Main Event of FIGHT TV Episode 3**

With your host, Matsumoto TV's Miho Murai.

Hinomoto Wins Title; "Brody" Still Champ

June 24, Tokyo Dome (FPR); Former "Sexy Fight"
star Reiko defeated champion Mary after a back and forth match that saw numerous near-falls on both sides.



"Bruiser Brody" retained the Ningen title by K.O. After challenger Toshiaki Kawada was downed by the champ, many thought Ohtani would be the one to wrest the title from him. However he finally fell victim to an old-school piledriver, sending Ohtani to Queer Street on rubbery legs.



LAWL's Marie Reyes defeated IKU with a Buffalo
Sleeper Hold. It was an interesting back and forth match, with the more
experienced Reyes taking the victory.

HOLT NOTE: After the match, Reyes and IKU shook hands while IKU bowed to her.
Nice show of sports(wo)man
ship to end that match.



PW-RIOT's Delray Biggs, Steve Kingston, and Trent Frost defeated MCPro's Dwayne Reade, Ryan Wright, and SHALLOW when Biggs pinned Wright with a Falcon Arrow.
Excellent showing by all. If the MCPro and PW-Riot guys were experiencing any jet lag, they all masked it well and put forth one hell of a match. The geNEON boys were excellent in cutting the ring in half and always keeping the fresh man in. The skillfulness of Biggs and the all out toughness of Kingston really won over the Tokyo Dome crowd. Even though this match marks the return of SHALLOW after a two-year long absence, there was no ring rust visible. Trent FROST, his former stablemate also returned from time away to recover from a leg injury.

HOLT notes: Trent FROST was limping heavily backstage after the match. This
was believed to have been caused by Reade's multiple dropkicks to the knee. Word is that he has been taken to the hospital to have some MRI's done, but nothing has
been confirmed as of yet.



PW-RIOT's Arson defeated Russ Morgan with the Firebomb. There were numerous attempts by Morgan to try and put Arson away early, including 2 Northen Lights Bombs, but they all failed. Arson showed everyone why he is PW-Riot's No
Frills Champion.

HOLT notes: Backstage, Morgan was heard muttering, "holy fuck."



Other results:

Match 1: A-Hole Ronald Vs. Riki Choshu


Choshu def. Ronald with a Sleeper Hold. Crowd was
all over Ronald in this encounter.



Match 2: Liliana Vs. Amy Chen

Chen def. Liliana with a Rolling Prawn Hold. A rather
disjointed match between two rookies new to OJ-FWA. It was the first time for both of them working in front of such a large audience. The surprise ending really
seemed to get the crowd into the match. These rookies can only get better!

HOLT notes: After the match, after hearing what co-president Reiko Hikawa had to say about the match, Liliana stormed out looking extremely frustrated. Despite all this, Liliana is still planned to be facing Chen again when OJ-FWA visits the US. Their match will take place on the promotion's Hammerstein Ballroom card which, of course, is located in Liliana's home state of New York.



Match 3: Team Challenge Series - RANDOM Vs. Team Fire Pro

Team Fire Pro def. RANDOM to advance to the second Round.

Order of Eliminations:

- Starman pinned HAYATE after a moonsault
kick

- Morio Smith pinned Starman
after a spinning heel kick

- Morio Smith eliminated by count out

- Jealbreaker Bullnoi
eliminated Abdullah Kobayashi by bearhug

History

Mary Riegan was the youngest of three children in the Riegan household. Growing up in a beat up house in East Roger Mills, Oklahoma, she got her first exposure to pro-wrestling by her two older brothers. She never cared for it much, but that would of course change.

While at the University of Oklahoma, she met her future friend Yukari Oogushi, AKA Yubari. Like Yubari, it was during this time, she was re-introduced to and became enthralled with Japan and the sport of professional wrestling. Aided in no small part by her friend's own burgeoning passion in the same field, she decided to go to Japan.

Going to Japan

Mary's first Japanese experience was a homestay with the Oogushi family in June of 2003. It has often been said by her that it was this experience that solidified her desire to stay in Japan, as the local video store was packed with pro-wrestling videos. After graduating from college, she joined a government teaching program and for a year taught English to Junior High School students. During that time she sought out and found Reiko Hikawa's training center and joined. She had a few beginner's singles matches in what was then the FWA before teaming up with her old college friend Yubari.

NOJ and a Unique Opportunity

Soon after her matches in FWA, she was contacted by John "(C)" McKay, head of NOJ (New Olive Japan) Pro-Wrestling. She was told that they were running spot shows in Akihabara where performers would dress like comic and video game characters. And although NOJ (with the exception of the then developing So Ryung Park) was a primarily male organization, they needed females for many of their roles. Mary agreed to do this, and for most of 2005 she joined these shows.

Return to FWA and Agent Zero

During these spot shows, a competitive rivalry developed between NOJ's Mary and a competitor known as Agent Zero in FWA. The two traded wins, and the feud actually became the hottest at the time. This resulted in a series of matches that would lead to the number one contendership for the Joshi Sekai Championship. Mary won this series, and moved on to face the then-champion Agent Dangerous Queen. And, on May 20th 2006, she did the impossible, and the relative newbie Mary Riegan defeated Agent Dangerous Queen for the Joshi Sekai Championship.
