We now have a HUGE update on our return to Las Vegas on July 17th. This is an first time EVER matchup between two of the two premier female athletes in professional wrestling, and a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see an international superstar!
Just signed for the Las Vegas stop on the AFTERSHOCK Tour:
NANAE TAKAHASHI VS. ODB
Joshi legend NANAE TAKAHASHI is coming to the United States! This is an incredibly special appearance by a woman who has cemented her legacy through nearly 20 years of competition. Early on, she excelled in tag team competition, but soon established herself as a singles force as well. Nanae Takahashi first made her mark in All Japan Women’s Pro-Wrestling. Eventually, Takahashi ventured into her own wrestling company, Pro Wrestling Sun. She is a two-time WWWA World Heavyweight Champion and also held the WWWA Tag Team Championship an incredible 5 times with 4 different partners.
Throughout her career, Nanae Takahashi has also been active on other joshi organizations, including JWP, NEO, and Ice Ribbon. In 2011, Takahashi was integral in the founding of a brand new promotion, World Wonder Ring Stardom. For nearly five years, she competed in STARDOM, sharing her knowledge and guidance with a new generation of exciting young athletes. Now Nanae Takahashi is about to embark on her latest endeavor when she starts her own, brand new professional wrestling company to be called “SEEdLINNNG.”
Her opponent on July 17th is an international star in her own right: the incomparable ODB! ROH fans have grown to love her lewd, crude, unique attitude and style. Recently, ODB has found herself preoccupied with the House of Truth. But there is no doubt ODB will be squarely focused on Nanae Takahashi when they battle LIVE in Las Vegas!
