Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE Thursday.

The next event is 11/14 at Boat Race Toda in Saitama. This will be a free event for those attending the boat races (100 yen admission or about 60 cents US). There will be no on demand broadcast (at least at this time).

If you have followed her career the last two decades-plus, you may know that Moeka Haruhi, currently with Ganbare Pro, is more than just a pro wrestler even though she seemingly has outgrown her prior cosplayer gimmicks from her days in WAVE. Besides that and a real lifesaver (she donated a kidney to save her younger sister’s life a couple years ago) she is also a licensed meteorologist and now that’s turned into a new gig for her! She and Ganbare announced she passed the Japanese Meteorological Weather Announcer Exam! Starting Saturday and, for now, running through February, she will begin doing weather forrcasts for parts of Japan daily except on Tuesdays & Wednesdays on her social media, to include Instagram, TikTok, Twitter & YouTube. Initially she will focus on forecasts for the Kofu Basin and fog in the Toyooka area. Weekly recaps will also be shared each Saturday night Japan time to see how she did over the past week. For now it seems like this will be a practice/for fun thing and won’t affect her wrestling commitments.

This is really awesome and I join in sending congratulations to Haruhi on this achievement.
