Dream Slam Monthly Vol. 6: Big Summer Blowout

Big Summer Blowout

We’ve hit the midway point of 2023! Can you believe it? I sure can’t! While the last month has been busy, it still feels like the calm before the storm. Much like Florida has Hurricane Season, when it comes to women’s pro-wrestling summer quickly becomes Tournament Season. WAVE’s CATCH THE WAVE 2023 Tournament is well underway, and next month STARDOM begins its annual FIVE STAR GRAND PRIX. Immediately after their second big show of the year, TJPW’s Princess Cup starts on July 14th, less than a week removed from SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’23.

Travel restrictions are largely behind us, so international travel is opening up even further with talent hopping across all the oceans, too! Miyu Yamashita wrapped her amazing three-month stint in the US and Maki Itoh completed a month abroad as well! Mariah May celebrated her fifth month in STARDOM with Xena, Jessie, Waka, and their new leader, Mina Shirakawa in Club Venus.

Stay safe, and hydrated, and enjoy the summer celebration of women’s wrestling around the world!

Monthly Match Recommendation

As mentioned above both in the news section and the Ganbare Pro-Wrestling section: Moeka Haruhi elected to take a break from wrestling so she could be a kidney donor for her sister. GanPro uploaded clips of her 6-woman tag match from June 3rd. After Yuna Manase required surgery, Haruhi stepped in as the veteran in GanJo to help lead the group in Manase’s absence. While Manase has recently returned in a General Manager role, Haruhi will –in turn– take a break to help care for her sister.

Both the 6-woman tag and the send off gauntlet are available! Watch them both and get in those GanbarePro Wholesome Feelings!

“Ganbare Pro has passion… violence… betrayal … and kindness!” – Moeka Haruhi
