Hiroyo Matsumoto was victorious at the Sendai Girls show on 6/12, tagging with Carlos Amano to score a big win over Meiko Satomura and Syuri. Hiroyo scored the pin with the Ligerbomb on Meiko. It has been decided that Hiroyo will get another chance to face Meiko in singles on the July 29th Sendai Girls show!

A fan tweeted that Hiroyo was overjoyed at the decision, and Meiko also showed a lot of rare emotion during the announcement. At the time of the match, Hiroyo would have just surpassed her 7th year in pro wrestling. Perhaps this will be her breakout big singles victory of her career? Time will tell!

Hiroyo Matsumoto & Aja Kong Team Up for Sendai Girls 5.19!

Posted on May 17, 2013 by shupercousin

Aja Kong & Hiroyo Matsumoto 3A

Hiroyo blogged that she will be in the Sendai Girls show on 5.19. In the past 2 months Hiroyo has been featured in the Sendai Girls shows, first facing Meiko Satomura in March, and then Kagetsu in April.

For the Sendai Girls May 19th show, Hiroyo will team with her pro-wres idol – Aja Kong, to take on the winner of Kagetsu & Sendai Sachiko and Sawako Shimono & Syrui. Hiroyo has not teamed with Aja since 2011 in an OZ Academy show. Certainly, the duo will wreck a lot of havoc in Sendai Girls in a few days.

On the same show, the main event will see Meiko Satomura take on the soon to retire Ayumi Kurihara.

Ayumi Kurihara vs Hiroyo Matsumoto

It has been announced that Hiroyo Matsumoto will face Ayumi Kurihara in a singles competition on the 6/9 OZ Academy show. Ayumi Kurihara has announced that she will retire in August. This will likely be the last singles match between these two. Hiroyo has only had 1 previous singles match against Ayumi, back in 2006 in the Ibuki promotion. Hiroyo had only debuted for about 3 months. Ayumi had Hiroyo tap out with the jujitgatame:

Now that Hiroyo is going into her 7th year in pro-wrestling, it will be interesting how this 2nd singles encounter will go. For sure it will be a great match! For more information, check out the OZ Academy blog!

Hiroyo blogged that she will be a part of the July 7 New Japan Pro Wrestling event 「KIZUNA ROAD」. As part of the event, there will be a yukata festival. Yukata is the summer kimono. The yukata girls for the event will be helping to greet the visitors and to help draw the raffle winners. Hiroyo “Lady Destroyer of the Joshi Puroresu World” Matsumoto has been chosen for this honor.

Previously this duty had been filled by fellow wrestlers such as Ayumi Kurihara.

According to the NJPW website, visitors who attend the show wearing yukata will receive a special gift.

In Hiroyo’s blog, she mentioned that it has been a long time since she has worn a yukata, which is making her nervous. But as the special guest, she will receive a special seat to watch the show :)

The photo above shows Hiroyo displaying her signature strength by lifting Aja Kong into a Samoan Drop. Sadly, Hiroyo and Tomoka lost their title defense match, and Aja Kong and Hikaru Shida became the 18th OZ Academy Tag Team Champions.

Although Hiroyo and Tomoka lost the titles, perhaps this will pave the way for Hiroyo to focus on the OZ singles title again :)
