The card of the next Assemble show has been announced: Women's Pro Wrestling Assemble 2, Tokyo Ueno Park, 20th November Dark Matches: ASSEMBLE Up-and-coming Edition: Marvelous: Takumi Iroha vs Mio Momono Sendai Girls: Natsuho Kaneko vs Yurika Oka Pure-J: AKARI vs Chie Ozura Marvelous Offer Match: Tomoko Watanabe, Hibiki & Mei Hoshizuki vs Takumi Iroha, Rin Kadokura & Masha Slamovich Stardom Offer Match: Queens Quest (AZM & Saya Kamitani) vs STARS (Starlight Kid & Saya Iida) OZ Academy Offer Match: Beast Friend (Aja Kong & Kaori Yoneyama) vs Mission K4 (Sonoko Kaito & Kaho Kobayashi) Sendai Girls Offer Match: Chihiro Hashimoto & DASH Chisako vs Manami & Yurika Oka SEAdLINNNG Offer Match: Yoshiko & Hiroyo Matsumoto vs Arisa Nakajima & Honori Hana T-Hearts Offer Match: Sareee & Saori Anou vs Asuka & Riko Kawahata Pure-J Offer Match: Hanako Nakamori vs KAZUKI ASSEMBLE: Hall of Fame Edition: Jaguar Yokota, Chigusa Nagayo & Kaoru Ito vs Dump Matsumoto, Yumiko Hotta & KAORU Its very similar to the first show in that its a load of matches that aren't the biggest match that a promotion can send but which also works as a showcase for that promotion: the Stardom match is perhaps smaller than the other matches here but I think that's only because they have a larger roster and its not like they've sent something that's not got any juice to it. It does confirm that the "promotions will only wrestle themselves" thing includes freelancers that regularly work a promotion as part of that promotion: Saori Anou (who, as far as anyone is aware, is unsigned) worked the OZ Academy match on show 1 and is in the Freelancer match here; Hiroyo Matsumoto is also a freelancer but is teaming with her regular SEAd tag partner Yoshiko here; Kaori Yoneyama is technically YMZ affiliated but in reality is a freelancer and so is Kaho Kobayashi) which is a good thing since if you limited a lot of these promotions to only their signed rosters you'd be getting an awful lot of repetition very quickly. Pure-J providing the first main card singles match (which should be very good: Nakamori goes under the surface a lot but is very good) which might partially be because they sort of need to: two of the people that worked their match on the last show have left since so the roster is not that large. The veterans match is technically the first interpromotional match on Assemble (Yokota and Ito from Diana, KAORU and Nagayo from Marvelous) but I don't think it really counts: that will be a really fun match since it'll be six vets just having a lot of fun: you'll have Dump's team doing over the top heel things which is always a laugh: totally a nostalgia match but those are great fun. They've announced that the first three matches are Dark Matches that start an hour before the main show but I hope that they get on the PPV: all of the Iroha-Momono matches are great and I don't see that one being an exception and the other two matches are pure rookie matches which are always fun. Its a 'random draw' for card order again so who knows what the match order will be.

Ah I wish some of the other Joshi feds could have gotten on this just to showcase some of their wrestlers and that there could have been more interaction between promotions with the matches.

Miyu specifically called out Aja and Meiko so it could be them. Maki's wrestled Aja Kong and Miyu's wrestled Meiko so it could make sense for them to wrestle their former opponents? Oh poo poo, Mei Suruga!

I've actually been behind on Stardom and just caught up with the Yokohama show. How come nobody mentioned this: https://twitter.com/ChameleonPw/status/1313663859878760454 Also, Momo's new outfit is a hot mess even by joshi standards.

There's something about Stardom's ASSEMBLE match that made me laugh when I saw it. Probably the fact it's as close to sending the Z-players short of their match being Hanan vs. Hina vs. Rina

https://twitter.com/senjo2006/status/1321017042569318400 Sendai Girls announcing that Meiko will only be making limited appearances going forward, including missing their 11.29 Korakuen show which is one of the bigger shows of the year for them. Not sure what this is about it says on the website it's because she wants to give the young talent a chance to grow but that feels like an excuse kinda cos you'd think having one of the best wrestlers in the world to work with would help in that regards GEORGE W BUSHI fucked around with this message at 10:34 on Oct 27, 2020 |

The one silver lining is Vince pays absolutely no attention to NXT UK, so Meiko won't be leading a group of ninjas through the parking lot of the converted Wetherspoons or wherever it is they film that poo poo.
