Onsen A Lifetime

WWA Onsen A Lifetime is an upcoming professional wrestling event being hosted by the Waifu Wrestling Alliance. It is the fourth major event in the promotion's history, and seventh overall.

For the first time, the decision was made by WWA management to not hold a pre-show, as all of the 12 scheduled matches were determined to be of such high quality that they should all take place on the main card.

## Background

### Production

**Relevant Article :** Waifu Wrestling Alliance

The Waifu Wrestling Alliance formed in early 2023 and reached near immediate major popularity. Their first premium live event was *Waifus Collide* and shortly before that show aired, Showdown in Spaghetti Town was announced as the second premium upcoming live event and *Bishoujo at the Beach* as the third (since that time, other events have been added to the calendar). Rumors of a fourth major show started circulating shortly before the announcement of this event. The event seems to be themed around the concept of Onsens (Japanese Hot Springs). How this will affect the match card or what wrestlers are featured is yet to be seen.

## Event

### Preliminary Matches

Throughout the opening submission match, both competitors would use their speed and high-flying abilities to gain an advantage over the other, though the sometimes matching style meant that this advantage would not last for long. The crowd was clearly on Kumome’s side throughout, as they would aggressively boo anytime Rabbit was on offence, especially when she locked in a submission hold. After an extended period of back and forth action, the fight would spill to the outside where Kumome would gain the advantage. Upon rolling back into the ring, Kumome Kumome would gain the first victory of this Premium Waifu Event via the Kumo Clutch at 9:38.

Kicking off the Hair versus Hair match, Little Beaver would earn the early advantage before DiVanna striking prowess cut Beaver off. A brief brawl outside the ring led to DiVanna keeping control, and once back between the ropes, DiVanna would almost earn a submission victory, which beaver escaped with some brutal upkicks. DiVanna soon hit the V-Lite, her signature Tiger Feint Kick around the ringpost, before a brutal combination set Beaver up for the Helical Scan, which shockingly only earned a two-count. Little Beaver would then fire up, and hit a string of offence culminating in a devastating Final Cut, which earned her a close fall. The match would continue until Beaver dropped Kelly from a powerbomb into a double knee backbreaker, and Little Beaver earned the pinfall win at 8:18.

The hardcore championship triple threat started wit the defending champion, Red Hands, choosing to focus her attacks on the initially single challenge, Keron Croakie. Each time BSD would attempt t o interfere, Red Hands or Croakie would send her out of the ring, until finally BSD managed some extended offence on Croakie on the outside. Finally, Croakie would be the first to grab a weapon form under the ring, and upon returning through the ropes would crack Red Hands on the back of the head with a chair. Soon after, Croakie would use a shovel against BSD, until BSD managed to reverse and utilise the tool herself. The three would fight on the outside of the ring for an extended time, where BSD would attempt the first pinfall, but only get a two count. The brawl would continue, including BSD hitting a vertical suplex on Red Hands onto the shovel head, and Croakie bringing in a sledgehammer to the ring. Croakie would then hit Red Hands own finishing lariat against her, but BSD would swoop in to attempt to steal the win, but only get a two count of her own. Croakie then hit BSD with a rolling forearm that sent BSD to the outside. Inside the ring, Red Hands would rock Croakie with a stiff headbutt, before choking her unconscious in the corner, earning the pinfall in 11:41.

In the fourth contest of the show, the debuting Yellow Empress would take control of Miss USA early, including a huge running top rope moonsault, and an attempted shooting star press, which was intercepted by Miss USA. Miss USA would attempt an early bow and arrow stretch, but this would be countered by the Empress, and the battle would spill outside the ring. The two would brawl back inside at the referee’s count of seven, and the Empress would attempt more high-flying moves, before executing an impressive German suplex. An extended period of offence for the Yellow Empress would yield only more two counts on several pinfall attempts, before the Empress was thrown outside by Miss USA. The Yellow Empress would only just manage to beat the referee’s ten count on the outside, but was almost immediately locked in Miss USA’s Texas Tea, and forced to submit at 8:05.

In a first time ever match stipulation, Bishamonta and Duna Sands would do battle in an Iron Waifu Tables Match. Bishamonta would be the first to bring a table from the outside into the ring, but both she and the Queen of the Beach would struggle to set it up properly due to attacks from the other. Duna would finally place a table in the corner, and attempt to powerbomb Bishamonta through it, but the Oni would reverse and instead slingshot Duna into the wood. The fight would spill to the ringside area, where each out batter their opponent and use strong suplexes to cause further damage. Eventually back in the ring, Duna would show some impressive power before attempting the Beach Break, but Bishamonta would counter in a brutal chokeslam. Bishamonta would soon go for a powerbomb of her own through an upright table, but Duna would counter this in the same way as Bishamonta had earlier. The first score would come at just over 11 minutes into the match, when Bishamonta would hip toss Duna through a table from the corner, giving Bishamonta a 1-0 lead. For the next several minutes, the two would once again fight on the outside, before Duna would catch Bishamonta with an unexpected powerbomb through the corner table as she had earlier attempted, to tie the scores at 1-1. Bishamonta would score another quick point when she threw Duna through a table less than a minute later, giving Bisamonta a 2-1 lead. After Bisamonta set up another table in the ring, Duna would sneak in and powerbomb the big red Oni through it to once again tie up the scores at 2-2, before finally executing the Beach Break. Another quick powerbomb through a table in a corner would give Duna Sands a 2-3 lead for the first time in the match with just over a minute left. Sands would attempt another Beach Break, but this would be countered into a Chokeslam, leading to Bishamonta suplexing Duna through another table, tying the scores at 3-3 with less than a minute to go. Duna would go on offense once more as Bishamonta was distracting setting up another table, but the time limit would expire before any more scores could be earned, ending the match in a draw at 3-3.

With the vacant Intercontinental Championship on the line, the smaller and faster Nikki Kade would start strong against the powerhouse Sheila Foster. Kade would use kicks in the corner, before suplexing Foster onto Kade’s own double knees, and hitting a strong knee strike of her own. Kade would soon attempt a diving dropkick, but would miss Foster, and instead hit a hip attack in the corner and then a jumping forearm, as well as a knee strike to neckbreacker combination. A further extended period of offence from Kade lead to the first two-count, before Foster finally fought back and managed to hit Carn The Farken Bombers, but Nikki would grab the ropes to force the break. As foster attempted to send Kade to the outside, Kade would instead hit a Rolling X-Factor, before setting up and hitting Foster with The Last Valentine. Kade would immediately hit the Kade Krusher, but foster would kick out at two. After more extended offence and then a diving moonsault, Kade would executed another Kade Krusher, though Foster would surprisingly kick out again. As the two got to their feet, Foster would seek to surprise Kade with the Down Under Bomb, but Kade would avoid this and hit several clotheslines and a superkick in response. Out of desperation, Foster would send Kade to the outside of the ring, and roll back in to recover. Kade would then hit The Last Valentine once more to win the match, and the vacant Intercontinental Championship, in 9:34.

Both Hailey Britannia and Mare Equine came out strong in the first official “Show Your Wabs” match, each utilising a flurry of offence to gain a brief advantage over the other. A powerbomb from Hailey would keep Mare on the backfoot, until a takedown and mounted punches from the horsegirl saw her take control again. Brief moments of fightback from Britannia were cut short with expert striking and counters from Mare, until the fight went to the outside and Hailey managed to drop mare across the barricade. When a combination dropped Hailey, Mare seemed conflicted as to how to proceed, opting instead to roll into the ring to break the count, rather than win via countout. This gave Hailey enough time to recover and hit some power moves of her own, including a Hook in the Gabber and a Bongzai drop combination, which Mare surprisingly kicked out of. More back and forth strike exchanges led to the pair once against fighting on the outside of the ring, until Mare managed to hit a superkick in the ring for a close two count. Mare would immediately hit a Devlin Cutter, but Britannia would roll out of the way of the Uma Double Stomp. Mare would then avoid a second Bongzai Drop, and put Haile yon the defence with a series of kicks, until Hailey would catch Mare once again with a Hook in the Gabber for another close two-count. The end would come when Mare would hit a series of stomps to the face of Britannia, and then the Uma double Stomp for the pinfall victory at 13:02.

After both Onigiri and Sapphire entered in similar outfits, the steel cage match would begin with Sapphire taking the advantage almost immediately. A cheap shot punch led directly to a springboard dropkick, followed by a powerbomb and knee combination. After missing a pair of diving stomps, Onigiri would wrestle back control with a slam to the turnbuckle and then a huge kneeling powerbomb of her own, but would miss a crossbody attempt. Sapphire would soon after hit the GOOOOOOAAALLLL kick, but Onigiri would kick out. Onigiri would soon follow up with her own finish, the Siren’s Call powerbomb, but Sapphire would kick out of this as well. In a display of uncharacteristic brutality, Onigiri would execute an extended sequence of kicks, stomps and slams on Sapphire before once again hitting the Siren’s Call for the pinfall victory at 7:27.

Following the cage match, Japanese idol sensation and former Goon Japan Pro Wrestling (GJPW) superstar, Gyary Slamyu Slamyu made an appearance, where she performed one of her hit songs.

Once all of The Pride, Immaculate Connection, Tropical Lovers and Shogun Aina had made their entrances, none other than Gyary Slamyu Slamyu, who had just finished her own musical interlude, made her entrance, debuting as Shogun’s surprise tag team partner. The action was fast and furious throughout the entire match, including Immaculate Connection taking an early strong position by double teaming the defending champions, Tropical Lovers. Shogun Aina would be the first to make an attempt at the hanging titles, but would have the ladder knocked out form underneath her, and Amy Flame execute a electric chair drop on the Shrine Maiden. Surfer Girl would also set up a ladder bridge, from the apron to the announce table, but it would be her own tag team partner, Wild Emerald, who would end up draped across it. Shogun Aina would attempt a dive onto the prone Emerald, but this would be dodged, leaving Aina to crash into the steel. At later points, Wild Emerald and TRIN-NITY, the two biggest competitors in the contest, would be separately suplexed from the top of the ladder as they attempted to unhook the titles. At one stage, Gyary Slamyu Slamyu would show incredible strength as she dropped Wild Emerald onto the ladder bridge. As all the other competitors were knocked down or distracted, Amy Flame made a strong attempt to unhook the titles, and soon after Neith and Wild Emerald would show off their impressive strength. The ending would come as Wild Emerald would steal the win from under Neith and TRIN-NITY’s noses in 24:22.

### Main Event Matches

The No Holds Barred contest between Cassie Kade and "La Jefa" Raquel Durango was an intense brawl. With limited wrestling for the first portion of the match, each woman elected to simply beat on their opponents with fists and stomps. Kade was the first to grab a weapon, wedging a chair in the corner of the turnbuckle, but the battle soon spilled to the outside. Cassie would again venture under the ring, this time pulling out a sledgehammer, which she used to great effect on Durango’s knees. Durango would attempt a Tongan Death Grip submission, but Kade would fight out and soon after hit The Last Valentine for a close two count. Incensed, Kade would batter Durango with the steel chair before executing a brutal Kade Krusher, which Durango would surprisingly kick out of. Fighting back, Durango would land a seated moonsault, however Kade would also kick out. Kade would soon after counter another Tongan Death Grip attempt, but was unable to counter Durango’s Ojo Por Ojo driver, which earned La Jefa the win in 10:27.

Nyx would fight for an early advantage over Mighty Milf in the Best 2-out-of-3 Falls match, but Mighty Milf would make sure her desire to win was on full display with a early, dominant kickout at just a one count. Mighty MIlf would fight back with an inverted Alabama Slam and a crossbody to her fallen opponent, before sending a message with a stiff straight right hand. Mighty MIlf would soon after lock in an armbar, but Nyx would reach the ropes, and then kick out of the subsequent pinfall attempt. A release German suplex and a powerbomb from Mighty Milf almost saw her earn the first fall, but Nyx would kick out. A Ricola Bomb facebuster from Mighty MIlf again put Nyx on the back foot, though various extended submission attempts from the otherworldly Nyx would even the odds. Mighty Milf would earn the first pinfall of the match following a springboard leg drop at 8:34. Nyx would fire back and go on an extended offensive run including a diving stomp and diving knee, only to be cut off with a fiery comeback from Mighty Milf. It looked like Mighty Milf would get a second straight fall with a springboard leg drop, however Nyx turn this into the Eggplanted to tie the score at 1-1, after 11:35 had elapsed. Nyx would immediately transition into A Woman’s Strongest Weapon, but Mighty Milf would survive. The battle spilled to the outside, where both women would hit heavy strikes, and Nyx would further land a diving tope onto a stunned Mighty Milf. Back inside the ring, Nyx would taunt her opponent, before doing a lap of the ring to build momentum for some sort of manoeuvre, but Mighty Milf would avoid it. Back inside, Mighty Milf would hit a piledriver reminiscent of Kuro Noire’s finishing move, and then the Not Mad, Just Disappointed combination for the 2-1 victory at 15:14.

In the main event Elimination Chamber match, Steeli Yastuffi would begin the match against Yokoko Zuna, with Priscilla Divine, Zuni, Kelly Omega and Holly Hope-Again in the pods. Zuna would immediately go on offence against Yastuffi, hitting a flying knee and a diving elbow drop, though Yastuffi would kick out of this attempted quick elimination. Holly Hope-Again would be the first competitor to leave their pod, and make an immediate impact by beating up both Zuna and Yastuffi. Some surprising teamwork from the tow initial entrants would see Hope-Again laid low, until Kelly Omega made her entry into the match. Yastiffi would attempt, but miss, a tope con hiro on Omega, and crash onto the steel surrounding the ring. Steeli would continue to target Omega, as Yokoko Zuna used her martial arts prowess to assault Hope-Again. Just as Zuni made her way out of her pod, Zuna would strike Holly with a pump kick, while Omega and Steeli continued their brawl. For the first time, Holly Hope-Again and Kelly Omega would finally meet in the ring, as Holly hit a thrust kick on Omega, and then a back elbow on Yokoko Zuna. Zuni would focus her attention on Steeli Yastuffi at this time, hitting a huge kneeling powerbomb. As the final entrant, Priscilla Divine made her way into the ring, the match would be split into three separate brawls, as Steeli and Holly fought in the ring, Omega and Zuni fought on the first side of the Chamber, and Priscilla used her fresh ness to overcome the weary Yokoko Zuna outside of Priscilla’s pod. As Holly and Yokoko Zuna were laid out in the ring, Steeli Yastuffi and Priscila Divine would meet for the first time in in-ring competition, while Zuni and Omega continued their fight on the steel. A judo throw from Zuna almost led to Yastuffi’s elimination, before all six competitors once again filled the ring in furious action. Caught by surprise, Yokoko Zuna would become the first to escape form Steeli’s Tilt-a-Whirl Roll Up, but would immediately be hit by a Dragon Suplex from Omega and be the first to be eliminated. The battle continued between the five remaining superstars, including Zuni fighting her way out of Priscilla Divine’s Tequila Sunrise, and Omega and Hope-Again surprisingly working together to assault Steeli. Soon after, Holly Hope-Again hit Hope’s End to eliminate Steeli Yastuffi from the match. At the same time, Omega had Zuni pinned with a No Wanged Angel for almost eight seconds, but the referee was out of position and only saw Steeli’s shoulders on the mat, and by the time he had adjusted his position, Zuni had kicked out. Enraged, Omega would target Holly specifically, giving Priscilla the change to immediately lock in a crossface on Zuni and get the submission elimination. With Priscilla’s back turned, Omega re-entered the ring to try and eliminate Priscilla with a No Wanged Angel, but divine kicked out. Omega would attempt a Vag Trigger on Holly, but Hope-Again would counter with a big boot. Before Holly count capitalise, Priscilla would catch her with a German suplex, and a striking combination, but Omega would recover and hit priscilla. Holly would then hit a Hope’s End on Omega, but Omega would kick out. Holly then hit a huge superkick on Priscilla, but would again turn her attention to Omega. Omega would land a Michinoku Driver on Holly, but be cut off from capitalising herself when Divine landed a kick-and-knee combination on Omega instead, sending Omega directly into an uppercut to the back of the head from Hope-Again. As Holly set Omega up for the final Hope’s End, Priscilla would swoop in and attack Holly, before submitting her with the Tequila Sunrise. Almost immediately afterwards, Priscilla would submit Omega with a Lebell Lock, to win the Elimination Chamber, becoming the new WWA World Champion in 16:33.
