FEATURE 09

DOVE Pro-Wrestling

O.K. Let me talk about one event that's off the hook.

If you've never gone to Dove Pro-Wrestling's parties, it would be good for you to read this article. Because I'm now writing this article late at night just to let you know what's interesting around this town, (that is the theme of PEACE magazine) and this one is definitely one of the most interesting things happening now in Hiroshima.

Perhaps some of you might think that I'm just crazy about wrestling. Or some might not be interested in this article because of their silly costumes that you see in some pictures here. I'm not a westling-watcher usually. I know a little about thier tricks, but I'm not trying to learn about them. Honestly, I'm not intersted in wrestling at all. BUT, everytime I find their flyer around town, I find myself immediately deciding to buy a ticket for the party, even if I have to work late that night and have a meeting early in the next morning.

As I get older, I don't usually kick it frantically like this. But they just always make me wanna go to the party and feel their heat. So I can recommend this event to those of you who've never kicked it like that. To those who've never been interested in wrestling shows. I'll be going to their event even when I get really old- like 70!- with my flyest gear.

The party doesn't have any dress code of course, (you don't have to dress up to watch wrestling!) but I feel like I should put on something good because they are soooo sexy!! During the fight they seem to be foolishly serious with their tight pants and funny masks, all in a sweat in the ring they built by themselves in a club, with the DJs beats. Everything just fascinates me and I can't stop gazing at them. I would say they are silly, but that's why they're excessively sexy.

Here is an introduction of each of the wrestlers and the schedule of fights that night, for all of those who have never gone to the wrestling events, to be able to enjoy it and get crazy for this one-night-show. I'm also introducing DJs here which are another principal part of the event. Remember, the next one will be on the 3rd of May.
