"EMERGE"
(Thank you very much to DesertPunk34 of the C!C for the logo!)
Sensei: Haley Cannon
Haley Cannon had a legendary career and is widely considered to be one of the best wrestlers to ever set foot in an OG-Joshi ring. She became just the second OG-Joshi Champion in 2005 after defeating Diane "Dizzy" Cavuto. After Haley defended the Title on a whirlwind tour around the world, OG-Joshi proclaimed it to be a true World's Championship. She had rivalries that spawned legendary matches with Dizzy, Robin "Holly" Walker, Jo Ryder, and Alicia Gordon. She also put on an incredible display in a "best of seven" match series with Visper Karr. Having rightfully gained the reputation of an ultimate competitor with a no-nonsense personality, she is seen as the perfect choice to be the first Sensei of the OG-Joshi EMERGE roster.
Assistant Sensei: Azumi Oonishi
Azumi Oonishi was one of the first wrestlers to join the OG-Joshi roster. Her greatest accomplishment was holding the OG-Joshi World Tag Team Championship with Diane "Dizzy" Cavuto as part of the HAWT*Wing faction. Azumi was not just chosen for her record but due to the influence that she has had backstage. She became one of the most respected wrestlers due to her calm and respectful demeanor. Azumi's advice was also sought after by rookies and veterans alike when they were faced with challenges in their careers and lives. Jean Carter considers Azumi to be one of the founders of the OG-Joshi spirit and is honored to have her involved in the EMERGE program.
Roster
- Cassandra Carter
Nickname: "Obsidian Goddess"
Cassandra was arrogant and evasive from the first day she arrived at OG-Joshi. She insisted that she was now the best, had been recruited by who was once the best, and was told to grace OG-Joshi with her presence to provide the best inspiration and entertainment for humanity. However, it did not take long to see why she was pointed in our direction. Although she claimed to have never wrestled a day before in her life, Cassandra was a lightning quick study. Proclaiming herself to be the best athlete that OG-Joshi had ever seen before, she set new records on physical fitness drills that we never even knew existed. "Sure, you can do the Nitrous Sock Hop 5K," said Jean Carter (no relation to Cassandra). Promising nothing less than to become the most legendary wrestler in history, Cassandra Carter lacks not of confidence.
- Hanako
Nickname: "Yuu Sho"
Hanako was OG-Joshi's first pick in a large multi-promotional draft held during the summer of 2021. She has the most wrestling experience in the first EMERGE "class" due to wrestling for a few years in Japan before signing with OG-Joshi. She is also the most aggressive and violent out of anyone in this inaugural class. Utilizing a dangerous combination of power and roughneck maneuvers, Hanako has knockout power in her ragdoll throws and her lethal kicks. Hanako joins OG-Joshi to become the first World Champion who is also her own enforcer. In the immortal words of every reality show contestant ever, she is not here to make friends. But this one don't ugly cry an hour later.
- Aria Holt
Nickname: "Battle Bastard"
Aria was recruited by OG-Joshi in the fourth round of a large multi-promotional draft held during the summer of 2021. She took a nontraditional and yet still fairly logical route to the world of professional wrestling. Believing that she grew up in Wales in the 15th century, Aria's favorite hobby was attending medieval fairs. As she got older, she wanted more physicality and turned to military re-enactments of famous European battles. She eventually gained a reputation for taking simulated warfare a little too seriously and was banned from the entire circuit. OG-Joshi signed her with some trepidation given that UBL "superstar" Chester Willoughby was the one to initially point her out. However, it is clear that she fights every match like her life, and maybe King Richard's glory, depends on it.
- Marcelline Louvel
Nickname: "Shy Suplex Girl"
Marcelline was recruited by OG-Joshi in the sixth round of a large multi-promotional draft held during the winter of 2022. Informally referred to as "Shy Suplex Girl," Marcelline lived up to that moniker through her early reticent negotiations with OG-Joshi. Luckily for us, Jean Carter and Haley Cannon each made Marcelline feel comfortable enough to sign a contract and begin training in the OG-JoDojo. As a result, "the hills are alive with the sound of suplexes!" (credit - Dragonkin). Despite her shyness, Marcelline is a fierce competitor in the ring who utilizes high impact suplexes, throws, and submissions. Outside of the ring, she is still finding her comfort level in expressing herself. Don't expect burning hot promos from her right off the bat, folks. But what you'll get from her, when she's ready to fully show it, is genuine enthusiasm for the sport and a good-natured and kind competitor.
- River Reade
Nickname: "The High Roller"
River provided us with early copy on her behalf. "High Roller" River Reade from Primm, Nevada is a technical wrestler and poker aficionado who is as cerebral in the ring as she is seated at a felt table." As observed through her training sessions, River may be the most agile wrestler in the inaugural EMERGE class. Furthermore, River has a love of chance that makes her less predictable than many of her peers. Rounding out the package, her ability to predict her opponent's moves makes her especially dangerous. In that respect, her last name "Reade" may be a fun coincidence.
- Gan Saelim
Nickname: "Esoteric Enigma"
Gan was recruited by OG-Joshi in the eighth round of a large multi-promotional draft held during the winter of 2022. In the Thai language, Gan means "the bold one" and Saelim means "intelligent and strong." All of these qualities describe this esoteric martial artist who keeps to herself. Gan has mentioned that she sees herself as a warrior monk and is not one to say more than she needs to. She may be a tough nut to crack for even Jean Carter. But inside that ring, Gan unleashes bone-cracking strikes that appear straight from your favorite Kung Fu flick. She moves with a fluidity, speed, and balance that words can not describe. Her standing attacks are peerless in their form and effectiveness.
- Yasuna Shimizu
Nickname: "Little Locomotive" or "Choo Choo Shimizu"
Yasuna Shimizu is "the little engine that could catch as catch can." She is the result of an experiment conducted by the universe as to what would happen if you take a fighting spirit the size of a basilisk and shove it into a body the size of a newt. Although she is an exceedingly kind and gracious person in polite company, she possesses a short fuse in competition when disrespected. She refuses to be pushed around despite her diminutive build and will never back down from a challenge. She was initially trained in a comedy fed in Japan but decided to come to OG-Joshi after graduation. Yasuna believed that her offense was legitimate, despite her size, and deserved more respect than it was getting. Her fighting style is especially unique. Yasuna does not wrestle like a traditional junior joshi. Rather, she channels the spirit of the train in the ring and attacks with rushing, pushing, and lunging attacks.
- Flame Valentine
Nickname: "High Desert Bruiser"
Flame was recruited by OG-Joshi in the twelfth round of a large multi-promotional draft held during the winter of 2022. Hailing from Texas, Flame Valentine is certainly bigger than most of her peers in this program. She also has one of the biggest personalities so far. While Jean could barely get 5 words out of some of the new recuits, Flame couldn't stop talking. Even Jean was taken back by the nuclear blast of social energy it took to withstand Flame's social onslaught. Flame fancies herself an outlaw cowgirl and is in a relationship with UBL's new cowboy, Silas Ringo. If OG-Joshi had an official saloon, Flame would have already thrown you through the swinging cafe doors. Feel free to visit our unofficial saloon but please let us know where it is 🍺
Future Candidates
None as of this time.
