So that’s it. After announcing in March that she would be retiring, embarking on a farewell tour which would start in SHIMMER in April and making final appearances in OZ Academy, WAVE, Diana, Ice Ribbon, Gatoh Move and Sendai Girls, Ayumi Kurihara has made her final appearance as an active wrestler.
Despite citing nagging injuries for her reason for bowing out of her eight year career, the 29-year old certainly didn’t hold back or take it easy on herself as she did her farewell rounds. She made the promise in her blog where she revealed her intentions to walk away that she would “continue to fight with all her strength and all her heart until August 4th”, regardless of the damage that it could do to the clavicle injury which was forcing her out. As a result she took part in more than 40 matches in 5 months, including some hard-hitting contests with the likes of Mercedes Martinez and Mayumi Ozaki – something which earned her a recognition in our Good Half Year series last month.
Ayumi Kurihara Aja Kong Youji KawauchiThe former NEO, NWA Women’s Pacific, CMLL World Women’s and SHIMMER Tag Team Champion wrestled twice on her retirement show at Tokyo’s Korakuen Hall, defeating Mika Iida in the opener and getting the pinfall in the 6-woman main event, putting down Aja Kong for the three to see out her wrestling days. After the matches, the traditional ceremony where she stands in the middle of the ring while the bell tolls ten times took place to signify the end of her career – at which point the ring was showered in ribbons and she was carried out of the ring on the shoulders of Kana, Tsukasa Fujimoto and Mio Shirai.
JoshiFans.com has provided accurate results of the show, which was standing room only and drew a mammoth 1,813 fans to produce a Super No Vacancy Full House:
1. Ayumi Kurihara beat Mika Iida in 9:04 with a Wrist-Clutch Uranage.
2. Shu Shibutani & Mio Shirai beat Sakura Hirota & Kana in 12:59. Shibutani pinned Hirota with a Time Machine Roll.
3. Dynamite Kansai, Sonoko Kato & Carlos Amano beat Ryo Mizunami, Aya Yuki & Sawako Shimono in 12:46 when Kato used a Diving Guillotine Drop on Mizunami.
