Knox, MsChif, Kong results from Japan

[SHIMMER office]

SHIMMER athletes Rebecca Knox, MsChif, and Amazing Kong appeared on the Wrestle Expo 2006 event this past weekend in Tokyo, Japan. MsChif made it all the way to the finals of the tournament! Special thanks to www.joshipuro.com/ for the report below.

The big joshi portion of the WRESTLE EXPO 2006 happened today with some key happenings. Yoshiko Tamura took home the WWWC Tournament, defeating three wrestlers to get there, and even putting up her Double Titles in the main event against MsChif. Tamura was happy to win the tournament, saying that she wanted to return to Odaiba every summer and then nominated Chikayo Nagashima as the next challenger to her titles. Mima Shimoda had her farewell match, with the fans flooding the ring with pink streamers in her honor. After the match Kyoko pleaded that Shimoda return to Japan in the future, and told her that she would be dearly missed.

HA! Knox sux!

Great, more shows for me to spend my money on!
Kimura vs. Knox sounds like it would be one hell of a match, and Tamura vs. MsChif was also quite good I'm sure.
I'm happy to see MsChif get such a strong push on her intial run in Japan, it's very deserving after everything she's done this year, especially her brutal feud with Melissa.
I'm always a little disappointed to see that Kong has lost a match, but it was a battle royal, and you can't win em all.

Oh, you're asking for a war with that comment, buddy!

Indeed, watch yourself man, Hippy is probably the biggest K-Nox fan I've ever run into. I'm sure he's got a makeshift shrine to her errected in his dorm room already.

If I thought I wouldn't get kicked out for lighting incense on the alter, damn straight I would. Thing is, the first I saw of her was in SuperGirls, and I wasn't that impressed. Then I started seeing what she's done in pretty much every other promotion, and I've been hooked. Probably one of my top dream matches of all time would be her vs. Manami Toyota.

Am I the only one who wonders what MsChif is like in real life? I'll bet she's pretty normal, likes barbies, and flowers, and listens to mellow music.

Yeah same. I imagine she has a lot of wrinkles around her eyes because of all the screaming and facial expressions she sometimes does in matches. I bet she's real silent.

Here are two more MsChif photos from the NEO show on 8/19.

I bet she's a metal chick who loves some Star Wars!
