JPP This Week

[nwajoshi]

Alyson Hau - Hello everyone and welcome to the first episode of JPP This Week. I'm your host Alyson Hau and joining me is my co-host Keiko Mariko. I hope that I can learn more about JPP and the wrestling business from you Keiko.

Keiko Mariko - And I look forward to learning more about the broadcast business from you Alyson.

Alyson Hau - Let's kick off the show with some highlights of last friday's Athena Pro show.

A 5 minute package of highlights of last friday's Athena Pro are shown.

Alyson Hau - Wow! What an amazing show full of surprises and upsets. How did you feel the show went Keiko?

Keiko Mariko - It started out great with our then JPP Singles champion in trios action. there were no surpises in the five trios matches that kicked off the show. But after the short break for your announcement, oh wow was there surprises, upsets and a shocking turn of events.

Alyson Hau - In the main event, JPP's Gail Kim managed to wrestle away the NWA World Women's title from Nattie Neidhart. Was that one of the upsets you were talking about?

Keiko Mariko - It sure was. Nothing against Gail Kim, she's a great wrestler, but that title belt meant everything to Nattie Neidhart. She is the first 3rd generation female wrestler and is a member of the famed Hart wrestling family. So many people, including Nattie herself sometimes, have said that the NWA World Women's title is almost Nattie's birth right. Gail is a great wrestler and hopefully will be a great champion. Let's just hope she never underestimates an opponent because every girl and woman in this sport has their eyes on her now.

Alyson Hau - Even before last friday's show was done, JPP's Facebook and Twitter pages were exploding with activity over what Hiroyo Matsumoto did. Did you ever see her turning on her partners like that?

Keiko Mariko - Hiroyo has always been a very serious an aggressive performer in the ring. I've heard rumors that she didn't like Miyako and Hikaru's taste in music. But is that any reason to turn on them? We'll have to wait and find out if she ever tells us why she did it.

Alyson Hau - let's take a short break and we'll be right back.



Ayson Hau - Welcome back to JPP This Week. Earlier this week, I went to the JPP dojo with the intention of asking the trainers to demonstrate some basic wrestling holds and moves. Head trainer Yoshiko Tamura told me that if I wanted to learn some moves, I'd have to learn how to take and deliver them myself. So here's my painful adventure in learning how to take a fall.

Alyson is shown taking fall after fall after fall

Alyson Hau - I learned my lesson quickly. I'm going to leave the wrestling to the girls who do it for a living.

Keiko Mariko - It takes a while, you would have got used to it Alyson.

Alyson Hau - let's take a look at the matches for this friday's Athena pro show.

1. Miguela Martinez vs. Hikaru Shida
2. Basara & Shirai Sisters vs Kimono Dears
3. Three Treasures of Buddha vs Punk Rockers
4. Gail Kim vs Syuri
5. Queen of Legends Series
Annie Social vs Beth Phoenix vs Meiko Satomura vs ODB
6. Queen of legends Series
Hiroyo Matsumoto vs Lin Bairon vs Mima Shimoda vs Tess LaCoyle

Keiko Mariko - I have a pair of tickets for this friday's Athena Pro show for the first person to reply to this question that I'm about to post on JPP's Facebook page. Who sings the theme song for the Kimono Dears?

Alyson Hau - Thank you for joining us on the initial episode of JPP This Week.

[nwajoshi]

Alyson Hau - Welcome to JPP This Week for the first week of June, and what a week it has been. Joining me once again is my co-host, Keiko Mariko!

Keiko Mariko - Great to be back here. You are so right Alyson, what a week it has been. We kicked off the Queen of Legends Series and we had another huge surprise on last friday's Athena Pro.

Alyson Hau - Let's take a look at the highlights of that show

A five minute highlight package of Athena Pro from June 1 plays.

Alyson Hau - The first two matches of the Queen of Legends Series were supposed to be the main events of the show, but, once again, someone else stole the show. Last week it was Hiroyo Matsumoto's shocking turn of face. This week it was Syuri's surprising upset win over the new NWA Women's World Champion Gail Kim.

Keiko Mariko - Everyone is calling that an upset win for Syuri. But, if you've followed Syuri's career, you know she has the skills and desire to beat anyone on any day. If Gail Kim doesn't stay focused, Syuri could easily beat her again and next time won't be a non-title match.

Alyson Hau - You are right; next time they face eachother the title will be on the line. Right after last week's Athena Pro it was announced that Syuri will challenge Gail Kim for the NWA Women's World Title on June 29th, live on Athena Pro.
But that is not the only news regarding the NWA Women's World Title. At the NWA's Great American Bash pay-per-view on July 22 in Atlanta, Georgia, the winner of the Syuri vs Gail Kim match will defend the title against Kana in a 30 minute ironwoman match.
For our fans who don't know what an ironwoman match is, could you explain it for us?

Keiko Mariko - An ironman or ironwoman match is a match that goes the full set time, whether it's 30, 45 or even 60 minutes. Whoever scores the most decisions by pinfall, submission or disqualification wins the match.

Alyson Hau - We'll be right back after one of our sponsors pays our bills.



Alyson Hau - Welcome back to JPP This Week. The Queen of Legends Series got off to a great start last week on Athena Pro and will continue with two more qualifying matches this friday. Like any tournament, the winner of the Queen of Legends Series gets a reward that they can keep for ever. JPP's original idea was to have a trophy made, but trophies have been overdone. They then decided to go with the queen theme. There is already a tiara in JPP, so they decided that the winner of the series will get a robe fit for a queen.

Keiko Mariko - We didn't have to go far to find someone to design and make the robe for the Queen of Legends. We asked our in-house costume designer Haruka Ayase to design and make the robe. She has been working hard and finally finished the robe this morning. Being modelled by local model Ariel Yip, here is the Queen of Legends' robe

Ayson Hau - WOW! That is a stunning robe. I may have to speak to Haruka Ayase before the next big event I have to attend. Speaking of big events, you have a big event coming up in about 7 months don't you Keiko.

Keiko - Right you are. I had another checkup this week. Both my baby and I are doing just great. My doctor is glad that my craving for salsa is gone, and so are all the other girls; eating so much salsa gave me some rather pungent gas attacks. I've moved onto a new craving, ice cream. To keep me happy, my fabulous husband bought me an ice cream maker.

Alyson Hau - Bring some next week so I can have a taste

Keiko Mariko - Will do.

Alyson Hau - Let's have a look at the schedule for this friday's episode of Athena Pro

1. Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yoshiko vs. Misaki Ohata & Marcela
2. Faby Apache vs Emi Sakura
3. Hikaru Shida vs Mio Shirai
4. Kana vs Annie Social
5. Queen of Legends Series
Cherry vs Kharma vs Natsuki*Taiyo vs Syuri
6. Queen of legends Series
Fang Tiaorong vs Cheerleader Melissa vs Mickie James vs Britani Knight

Keiko Mariko - Before we leave you, it's time for this week's quiz. Once again, the first person to reply with the correct answer on our Facebook page will win two tickets to this week's Athena Pro. We're going to show you a picture of a masked wrestler. The question is, what is her name with the mask and what is her name without the mask. We need both names..... and here she is.



Alyson Hau - Have a great week everyone and we'll see you next wednesday right here and right now.

[nwajoshi]

Alyson Hau - Welcome to JPP This Week for the week of June 13. I'm your host Alyson Hau and once again, my co-host is the ever expanding Keiko Mariko.

Keiko Mariko - Are you trying to say I'm fat?

Alyson Hau - Just stating the obvious with your little baby bump. There was some great bumps on last friday's epsiode of Athena Pro also. Let's take a look at what went down.

A five minute highlight package of last friday's Athena Pro is shown.

Alyson Hau - Wow! Quite a few wrestlers I've never seen or heard of before. Why don't you introduce our fans to these new faces Keiko.

Keiko Mariko - Hiroyo Matsumoto's partner in the opening match, the girl in gold, is Yoshiko. She has been one of the hottest newcomers to joshi puroresu in the past couple years. Across the ring from them were Misaki Ohata, making her return to JPP, and Marcela, one of the top luchadoras from Mexico. In the second match, we had another of Mexico's top luchadoras, Faby Apache.

Alyson Hau - Two contenders for singles titles made some strong statements on friday. Kana and Hikaru Shida both won their matches and both made strong, but very different, verbal statements.

Keiko Mariko - Everyone has been talking about Hikaru Shida being the favorite to be the new New Territories Tiara champion. I can confirm that Hikaru will be in the match to determine the new champion on June 29th

Alyson Hau - On that great news, let's take a break with a message from some people who do great work for all of us.



Alyson Hau - Last week was a big week for one of JPP's brightest stars.

Keiko Mariko - It sure was a big week for my friend and almost sister Riho. Last monday was her 15th birthday; we had a fun party for her. Then on wednesday, her school had their annual end of year awards and promotion ceremony. Riho was a co-winner of the top math student for year 9 and was promoted to year 10. Riho's not going to like me for telling this next story. After the ceremony at school, Riho and a few of her friends, including her first boyfriend, went to Ocean Park for some fun.

Alyson Hau - I remember my first boyfriend. I tried to keep him a secret from my parents for a few months, but they knew all along. Did your mom like your first boyfriend?

Keiko Mariko - She liked him a lot. She even encouraged me to spend more time with him. She was right about him, so right that I eventually married him.

Alyson Hau - Enough about boyfriends, let's take a look at the lineup for this friday's Athena Pro.

1. Hikaru Shida vs. Io Shirai
2. Makoto vs Mio Shirai
3. Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yoshiko vs Faby Apache & Sexi Star
4. Mickie James vs Kharma
5. Queen of Legends Series
Nattie Neidhart vs Hailey Hatred vs Gail Kim vs Riho
6. Queen of Legends Series
Kana vs Apple Miyuki vs Ayumi Kurihara vs Arisa Nakajima

Keiko Mariko - It's time for Keiko's Kwiz. This coming sunday is Father's Day. This week's quiz is about fathers. There is two girls who have appeared in JPP who's fathers and grandfathers have also been wrestlers. The first person to post on our Facebook page with the names of the two girls along with their fathers and grandfathers will win a pair of tickets to Athena Pro this friday.

[nwajoshi]

Alyson Hau - Hello everyone and welcome to JPP This Week for the wek of June 20th. I'm your host Alyson Hau and, once again, my co-host is the slim and trim Keiko Mariko.

Keiko Mariko - (tears) Are you saying I'm fat again!

Alyson Hau - Sorry about that, just trying to make up for my comment last week. No offense intended.

Keiko Mariko - Sorry, it's just my hormones going crazy from time to time. Let's talk about wrestling instead.

Alyson Hau - Last week's episode of Athena Pro should have been a showcase for the NWA Women's World champion and several of the top contenders, but their matches were overshadowed by what happened at the end of the opening match.
Hikaru Shida had just forced Io Shirai top tap out when this happened...

Video is shown of Hikaru Shida climbing the turnbuckle then being pulled off by Io Shirai

Keiko Mariko - As you could see, on the way down, Hikaru hit her shoulder on the turnbuckle. That incident caused the tendons that connect two of the muscles in her shoulder to the bone in her arm to completely rip loose.
On monday morning, Hikaru was taken to The Hong Kong Jockey Club Sports Medicine and Health Sciences Centre. The specialists there reattached the tendons and stitched up Hikaru. She is now back home recovering from her surgery. When the doctors give her the go ahead, she will begin rehabilitation.

Alyson Hau - There were JPP cameras in the operating room. If you want to see that footage, take a look on nwa-jpp.com
Let's take a look at the rest of last friday's show now.

A five minute package of the rest of the show is shown.

Keiko Mariko - Now it's time for a sponsor to pay our bills.



Alyson Hau - Earlier this week, a few of the girls flew up to Shanghai to do some tv and radio appearances to promote our Summer Supershow on July 27th. While they were there, the girls also visited the iconic Oriental Pearl Tower where Martini Ip captured this video.



Keiko Mariko - There's no way in the world would I ever do that!

Alyson Hau - I'm with you there.... never, ever ever!

Keiko Mariko - We're just about out of time, so it's time for Keiko's Kwiz. last week's question was "There is 2 girls who have appeared in JPP who's fathers and grandfathers were also wrestlers. Who are those girls and who are their fathers and grandfathers?" Several of you answered correctly. Quite a few people knew about Nattie Neidhart, her father Jim "the anvil" Neidhart, and her grandfather Stu Hart. Only a few knew about Lacey Von Erich, her father Kerry Von Erich and her grandfather Fritz Von Erich. Congratulations to the winner.
This week's question is another two parter. As we're in the midst of the Queen of Legends Series, our question is about a legendary title. What title belt was known as "the big red belt" and who held that title the most times?

Alyson Hau - I won't even try to guess that answer. Have a great week everyone.

[nwajoshi]

Alyson Hau - Hello everyone! Welcome to JPP This Week for the week of June 27th. Please welcome my co-host this week, Hikaru Shida!

Hikaru Shida - Thank you Alyson. I've had so much fun here already. Keiko may be back next week if she doesn't have a doctor's appointment or parenting class.

Alyson Hau - Let's kick off the show with highlights from last friday's episode of Athena Pro.

A highlight package of Athena Pro from June 22 plays

Alyson Hau - You are always such a happy and upbeat girl Hikaru. It was strange to see you almost in tears when you spoke to the fans last friday.

Hikaru Shida - Those weren't tears of sadness, they were tears of disappointment. I am disappointed that I let down the fans of JPP. I'm hoping I can get back in the ring soon so that I can entertain them again.

Alyson Hau - You have nothing to be disappointed about. Your fans understand that what happened was an accident. How do you think the rest of the show went?

Hikaru Shida - It was a very good show. For one of the girls it was a very big show. Last friday was LuFisto's 15th anniversary as a professional wrestler. More than just a wrestler, LuFisto is a mentor, teacher, older sister and role model to all of us girls. We all respect what she has done in and for our sport. She has literally put her body and soul on the line for our sport. Let's take a look at LuFisto the teacher and role model.



Alyson Hau - Seeing that makes me so glad that I only talk about wrestling and don't actually get in the ring to do it. It's time to take a break so a sponsor can pay our bills.



Alyson Hau - Welcome back to JPP This Week. After last friday's Athena Pro show, several title matches were signed for this friday's month end show. Here's how the show will look.

1. JPP Sky High Tag Team Titles
Ramu & Riho vs. Natsuki*Taiyo & Chii Tomiya©
2. JPP New Territories Tiara
Arisa Nakajima vs Basara vs Yoshiko vs Miyako Matsumoto
3. Electric Action vs Makoto & Apple Miyuki
4. NWA CPW Women's Title
Mickie James vs Yuzuki Aikawa©
5. JPP Tag Team Titles
Two Treasures of Buddha vs Social Hatred©
6. JPP Singles Title
Victoria vs Maria Kanellis©
7. JPP Junior Title
Chii Tomiya vs Cherry©
8. NWA Women's World Title
Syuri vs Gail Kim©

Hikaru Shida - It will be difficult for me to be there on friday, especially to watch the match for the New Territories Tiara. If it wasn't for my torn rotater cuff, I'd be in that match. I was wrestling better than I ever had been and I had so much confidence lately. I really wanted to wear that tiara with pride.

Ayson Hau - Last week's Keiko's Kwiz question was "What title belt was known as "the big red belt" and who held that title the most times?" The answers are the WWWA World Singles Title, and it was held five times by Jumbo Miyamoto.

Hikaru Shida - This week's quiz is about the anniversary girl, LuFisto. The first person to post the correct answers on our Facebook page not only wins a pair of tickets to this friday's Athena Pro show, they will also win a 15th anniversary LuFisto t-shirt and the Best of LuFisto dvd's volumes 1-8.
This week's questions are: Where was LuFisto born? What was LuFisto's first ring name? What is LuFisto and pegaboo's favorite sports team?

Alyson Hau - What a great prize package. I understand that LuFisto will be there to present the prizes to the winner. Until next time, have a great week everyone.

[nwajoshi]

Ayson Hau - Hello everyone and welcome to JPP This Week for the week of July 4th. I'm your host Alyson Hau and back in the co-host chair this week is Keiko Mariko. Good to have you back Keiko.

Keiko Mariko - It's good to be back Alyson. I couldn't make it in for last week's show because of a doctor's appointment. Even though my emotions have been, to say the least, erratic lately, my doctor says that's normal for a first pregnancy and not to worry. But enough about me, let's talk about JPP.

Alyson Hau - After last friday's Athena Pro, there is so much to talk about. Here's what went down.

An eight minute highlight package of last friday's Athena Pro is shown.

Keiko Mariko - I was there last friday to support my best friends Ramu and Riho. I wish they would have won, but Natsuki and Chii were on top of their game.

Alyson Hau - We didn't crown new Sky High tag Team champions, but three other JPP titles did change hands. Arisa Nakajima won a four-way match to win the vacant New Territories Tiara, Ayumi Kurihara and Kana finally won the JPP Tag Team Titles, and the JPP Singles Title was won by Victoria from California Pro Wrestling.

Keiko Mariko - Almost all of us had respect for Victoria; she had worked hard for everything she's earned in this sport. But when she spat on OUR championship, she spat on all of us. I don't care who does it, someone from JPP needs to win that belt and beat some respect back into her.

Alyson Hau - It's time to take a break with a word from our hosts and sponsors here at CityU



Alyson Hau - Welcome back to JPP This Week. During last friday's Athena Pro, this short video vignette played



Alyson Hau - For those who don't recognize the lady in the video, that is Lisa Cheng. Lisa is a world class speed climber, an award winning fitness competitor, a martial artist, a sometime stuntwoman and tv host. I had no idea she would be joining JPP.

Keiko Mariko - I've seen a few of the things she can do. I could only dream of being able to do so many things.

Alyson Hau - This is normally the time of the show when we take a look at the matches scheduled for this friday's Athena Pro. Last week, JPP announced that a new show called JPP Princess would begin airing on Guangzhou Sports Network every wednesday night, starting tonight. The card put together for the debut episode of JPP princess is packed with JPP's best.

1. Hiroyo Matsumoto vs Miyako Matsumoto
2. Apple Miyuki & Makoto vs Natsuki*Taiyo & Chii Tomiya
3. Arisa Nakajima vs Cherry
4. Gail Kim & Tess LaCoyle vs Ayumi Kurihara & Kana

Keiko Mariko - That's going to be a great card. I can't wait to get home and watch it on the big screen tv. Friday's Athena Pro looks great too. We'll have two more matches in the Queen of Legends Series. One of the matches features the legend that every girl in our sport looks up to, Manami Toyota. Her hand will be sore from signing autographs for all of us before she even gets to the ring.

1. Yuzuki Aikawa vs Tess LaCoyle
2. Nanae Takahashi vs Emi Sakura
3. ODB vs Meiko Satomura
4. Makoto vs Mio Shirai
5. Queen of Legends Series
Serena Deeb vs Manami Toyota vs AJ Lee vs Rhaka Khan
6. Queen of Legends Series
Rosa Mendes vs Miguela Martinez vs Madison Eagles vs Nagisa Nozaki

Alyson Hau - What another great card. Last week's trivia quiz was all about LuFisto. Where was LuFisto born? What was LuFisto's first ring name? What is LuFisto and Pegaboo's favorite sports team? A few people posted the correct answers: Sorel Quebec, Lucifer and the Montreal Canadiens.

Keiko Mariko - Now it's time for this week's Keiko's Kwiz. With our Summer Supershow coming up in just over three weeks, this wwek's question is about another supershow. What was the name of the wrestling show had the largest live crowd and where did it take place?
Once again, the first person to post the correct answers on our Facebook page gets two tickets to this friday's Athena Pro.

Alyson Hau - Until next week, I'm Alyson Hau and my co-host has been Keiko Mariko, stay safe and have fun.

[Deleted]

Manami Toyota is amazing. She's still got moves in her old age, too. I can't wait to see her in action for JPP.

[nwajoshi]

Alyson Hau - Good afternoon everyone and welcome to JPP This Week for July 11th. I'm your host Alyson hau and, once again, my co-host is Keiko Mariko.

Keiko Mariko - Always great to be here Alyson. Let's get to the action from last week, and Wow was there ever a lot of action. Let's take a look at the debute episode of JPP Princess.

A highlight video shows the action in and out of the ring on JPP Princess

Alyson Hau - Wow, what a show! Looks like any hopes of a Heroic Trio reunion are dead now. No doubt about it, there's some internal strife within the Punk Rockers, which could be troublesome with Chii and Natsuki holding the Sky High titles. Tomoka Nakagawa's interference didn't pay off to well when the numbers caught up with her and she was left lying. And, wow, what a main event; Kana picked up a win over Gail Kim in tag action giving her an edge leading into their title match at The Great American Bash.

Keiko Mariko - Everyone is looking forward to that match. We were all looking forward to the main event on last friday's Athena Pro. Let's have a look at what went down.

The highlight real of Athena Pro plays.

Keiko Mariko - At most shows, when we're not wrestling, we're in our dressingrooms, at catering, or maybe watching the action on a monitor. During the main event last friday, nobody was backstage. Everybody was out on the floor watching and learning from THE legend in our sport, Manami Toyota

Alyson Hau - After all that action, it's time to pay some bills. Here's a word from one of the sponsors of our Summer Supershow



Keiko Mariko - That's a scary fast train. I'll stick with a bus when we're there.

Alyson Hau - It could be fun like an amusement park ride.

Keiko Mariko - That's the last thing a pregnant woman needs.

Alyson Hau - True! On last friday's Athena Pro, we saw another video promoting the upcoming debut of Hong Kong's own Lisa Cheng.



Keiko Mariko - She's going to be a very special talent in the JPP ring. I'm looking forward to seeing her in action.

Alyson Hau - Here's a look at next episodes of Athena Pro and JPP Princess.

Keiko Mariko - Friday the 13th on Athena Pro is going to be a fun night with those three unique matches.

Alyson Hau - I'm curious about what kind of weapons the fans will bring to the show.

Keiko Mariko - Know what time it is now? It's time for Keiko's Kwiz. Last week's question was "What was the name of the wrestling show had the largest live crowd and where did it take place?" The answer is Collision in Korea, it had a live audience of 340,000 and took place in Pyongyang, North Korea.
This week's question is about one of the modern sites in Shanghai. How tall is the Oriental Pearl Tower and how big are it's two giant spheres? the first correct answers posted on our Facebook page get free tickets to this friday's Athena Pro.

Alyson Hau - Have a great week everyone and enjoy your summer.

[Deleted]

Ayson Hau - Good afternoon and welcome to JPP This Week for the week of July 18. And what a week it will be. Joinng me as my co-host this week is Hikaru Shida.

Hikaru Shida - It's great to be back here Alyson on such a big week. We're just four days away from the biggest match in JPP history and just nine days from our spectacular Summer Supershow in Shanghai. let's have a look at what went down last week, starting with JPP Princess

A short video package plays highlighting the action from JPP Princess

Alyson Hau - What an interesting show. After all that, we have three new matches signed for our Summer Supershow. Arisa Nakajima will defend the New Territories Tiara against Miyako Matsumoto. Miguela Martinez and Nagisa Nozaki will challenge the disfunctional Sky High Tag Team champions Chii Tomiya and Natsuki*Taiyo. And in a huge clash, Lin Bairon and Gail Kim will challenge Ayumi Kurihara and Kana for the JPP Tag Team titles.

Hikaru Shida - Everyone in the tag title match will have something to prove or more to prove depending on the result of the World Title match this sunday. One other minor update after that show, Daniela Lujan and her triplet dancers had to leave when it was discovered their visas weren't in order.
Now for the highlights of Athena Pro from friday the 13th

A video of package from Athena Pro shows the highlights of the show, including Kana's post match attack on Gail Kim

Alyson Hau - I can't believe that two beautiful and talented girls like Syuri and Gail Kim would willingly be locked in a cage to fight like animals. Gail probably wishes she stayed in the cage.

Hikaru Shida - Her ego got the best of her and she just had to tell Syuri how good she was, until Kana shut her mouth! On friday, we also saw another video promoting the soon to be debuting Lisa Cheng.



Alyson Hau - What an amazingly talented girl. What will she be doing in her next video, driving a Formula 1 car maybe?

Hikaru Shida - I wouldn't put that past her. I've seen some of the things she does at the dojo, just for fun. Speaking of fun, it's time for a fun ad from one of our favorite sponsors.



Alyson Hau - Welcome back to the show. This sunday, at The Great American Bash pay-per-view from Philadelphia, Gail Kim will defend the NWA Women's World Title against Kana is a grueling 30 minute ironwoman match. Whoever score the most decisions within the 30 minutes will be the NWA Women's World Champion. Here's how they match up

Gail Kim vs Kana
5'4" height 5'3"
121lbs weight 136lbs
36 age 30
Dec. 2000 debut June 2004
Eat Defeat finishing move Kanagon

Hikaru Shida - For those of us who won't be there to watch that match in person, it is available on pay-per-view, contact your cable or sattellite provider for details. All of us girls plan to get up early on monday morning to watch the show in our pajamas. You're welcome to join us Alyson.

Alyson Hau - A pay-per-view pajama party. Sounds like a fun morning, I'll be there.

Hikaru Shida - Last week's keiko's Kwiz was "How tall is the Oriental Pearl Tower and how big are it's two giant spheres?" The answers are 468m tall and 50m and 45m. Congrats to last week's winner. This week's quiz is about a popular site in Philadelphia. At the top of the steps outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art, there is a statue of what popular Philadelphian?

Alyson Hau - What an amazing week this is going to be. Join us next week for a special episode of JPP This Week, live from Shanghai. Have a great week everyone.

[Deleted]

Alyson Hau - Good afternoon everyone and welcome to a LIVE edition of JPP This Week. We are coming to you from the plaza at the base of the iconic Oriental Pearl Tower here in Shanghai. I have two co-hosts today. Keiko Mariko is with me here on set and Hikaru Shida is out on the plaza somewhere with the fans and a few of the wrestlers who have shown up here.

Keiko - Normally, this is where we show you what happened last week on Athena Pro, but not today. Today, we are going to show you highlights of the epic 30 Minute Ironwoman Match for the NWA Women's World Title between Kana and Gail Kim last sunday at the Great American Bash.

A video package plays showing every pinfall and submission, leading up to Gail Kim being saved by the bell.

Alyson Hau - Unfortunately, I could see the match live because of the typhoon that slammed Hong Kong. I did managed to watch a replay yesterday. What an incredible match; they never stopped for the whole 30 minutes. If I had a vote, that would already be the match of the year. We were hoping to have the World Champion with us today, but there was travel problems for the girls getting back from the Great American Bash. Let's see if Hikaru Shida has found any guests.

Hikaru Shida - I've found my friend and partner Miyako Matsumoto. Miyako, are you having fun here in Shanghai?

Miyako Matsumoto - I am. It was great to come up here and get away from all the wind and rain. Shanghai is an amazing city and everyone here is so friendly. I think we may have some special fans with us here.... some dancing queens

Miyako begins dancing and several young fans join in.

Keiko Mariko - Miyako is in her element there. She loves dancing and she loves kids. We have a few prizes here for a live edition of Keiko's Kwiz for our fans right here. If you know the answer, just stick up your hand. The first question is for a Ramu Endo t-shirt. What high school did Ramu graduate from last year?....ahhh there's a hand, do you know the answer?

girl - Tokyo Kokusai High School

Keiko Mariko - You must be a fan, here's your t-shirt. The next question is for a JPP flash drive wrist band loaded with over 200 pictures and videos. Kana often has what logo on the back of her tights?... I saw your hand shoot up

boy - X-Box 360 on her *giggle*

Keiko Mariko - Another winner. We have a great prize pack for the final question. The winner will get a souvenir Summer Supershow folding chair, 2 front row tickets and a VIP backstage passes. The first episode of Athena Pro was on December 24th last year. Who was in the main event and what title was at stake?

There are a few wrong answers.

Keiko Mariko - You had your hand up too; do you know?

girl - It was Kana defending the JPP Singles Title against Hiren.

Keiko Mariko - Here's your tickets and passes, have fun on friday night.
