DEVELOPING: Our Beloved Former TJPW Announcer Is Back Again!

O CANADA! Those lucky neighbors to the north gave us Tokyo Joshi Pro fans some wonderful news a short time ago-our beloved former ring announcer, Sayuri Namba, is back once again as on 11/2 she will debut as the announcer for independent promotion Dusk Pro Wrestling in Vancouver, Canada. It’s not yet known if this is one-time-only or will be a regular thing (Namba has relocated to Vancouver and, when circumstances and specifically wi-fi allow, she posts Shorts on YouTube documenting her adjusting to life there as she eventually hopes to relocate to the US) and also no word on if there will be any live or on demand streaming but tickets are on sale for $20-25 Canadian. And obviously I’m happy to see her continuing to do some ring announcing work, either with TJPW when they come back to the US or elsewhere. And hopefully she’ll get everything straightened out with settling down so she can post more on YouTube as her shorts so far are a lot of fun to watch (there’s about 15 or so).

News: Familiar Faces Gone From WWE

This is the very rare situation where I post about WWE on this website, but word broke a short time ago that some names that may be familiar to Japanese wrestling fans are gone from the promotion, specifically Lance Anoa’i and Zara Zakher. Anoz’i, a son of Samu and part of that legendary Samoan dynasty, was released and is headed back to the independents. His WWE time never really got going due to injuries shortly after he signed a year ago. Anoa’i made a few appearances in Pro Wrestling NOAH before joining WWE. Zakher, who along with others (namely Jada Stone) has really impressed in a handful of appearances in Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling, is leaving wrestling completely, at least for now. Her departure came because her WWE ID (developmental) contract expired. It’s not known if she eventually will come back to wrestling or not.

Injury Report: Now Not-Vague Poor Health

DDT announced earlier this week that Danshoku Dieno would miss an event due to the always-vague poor health. Now we know why that was the case after further evaluation. Appendicitis. Out indefinitely and will miss this weekend’s events. Beyond that, it’s not yet known hoe long Dieno will be out as DDT just says, based on translation, he will be out a while. I’d call him questionable for the big Ryogoku event in November.

More as it becomes available.
