Put Cornette on a six week MidBreath scheme and he can fight Santino.

GCW Presents Josh Barnett's Bloodsport 2 is probably going to have an intergender shoot style match if they aren't announcing anymore people for it and stick to 8 matches again.

Mox vs Barnett

JR Kratos
Minowaman
Killer Kross
DBS Jr
Timothy Thatcher
Chris Dickinson
Tom Lawlor
Zachary Wentz
Matt Makowski
Anthony Henry
Santino Marella
Allysin Kay
Lindsay Snow
Sumi Sakai

Allysin Kay vs Thatcher is what i expect.

Santino is probably facing Lawlor or something so he can mock him about the Cobra then get his poo poo rocked by Santino the Shooter

I hope they announce the situation with the Japan shows if they'll be VOD, on Fite.tv or what since the shows are this week

She's a Japanese female wrestler who debuted abnormally late by their standards (25) and has been wrestling 22 years, so...yeah, it certainly does feel that way. Especially since she's never even been that consistently good in the 15+ years she's been in the States.

I gotta wonder who told josh to book sumie unless it really was just some dude trolling josh that got her booked because she's really one of the last people i can think of that i want to see on this kind of show, or one in general. There has to be at least some other female wrestler with some sort of shoot training or something interesting

Guessing there's some kind of "semi-old school Japanese women's wrestler would have been taught shooting/catch wrestling" thing here.

Sumie has legit MMA experience. I think she helped SHO prepare for his fight too.

Sumie is a liason for Japanese wrestlers in the US. And well-liked/harmless.

I don't think "harmless" is a trait the promoters of Bloodsport chose her for tbh

Watched this a few weeks ago and it gets a little cheesy at some points but overall it was a really great watch. Definitely recommend it.

I watched it when it came out and really liked it. His appearances on the art of wrestling and the steve austin show were really good too.

They added Nicole Savoy to Bloodsport so I guess they're doing more than just 8 matches this time. Maybe they're going with more short matches to fit in a lot or something

Wasn't there a whole thing about her running a benefit for Sabu and not giving him the money? Or am I remembering that wrong.

SHIMMER heel work: vs Madison Eagles 1, vs LuFisto 1, vs Evie 1 & 2.

Baby face title run: vs Su Yung, vs Deonna Purrazzo. I haven't seen the Summit match yet but I have a hard time believing Savoy/Matthews didn't kick rear end.

I know exactly what you're talking about, and Sumie Sakai did a fundraiser for Sabu before but I think the person that tried to keep the money was a different woman in a different incident

I wonder if JB's Bloodsport II is the first GCW show since Spring Break to have more than 1 woman in a match. I'm hesitant to count the GCW Orange Cassidy show because of it being a NOVA thing first

Thanks for the recs. As has been mentioned, she did well in Stardom, too, and that's why I wanna see more of her. Gonna see which of these I can find.

well sometimes you'll give money to sabu but he will conveniently forget that that happened and will call you in the middle of the night threatening to cut your balls off if you don't give him the money, cash, small bills, now.
