>The Women's Pro Wrestling Awards were of particular interest in light of the recent boom in women's pro wrestling. Kobashi nominated Unagi Sayaka, who was selected for the "Fortune Dream 8" event he produced in Korakuen in June, but Tam Nakano (Stardom) was chosen.
>'I recommended Unagi because she stood out among the female pros and she is acting on her own and creating a buzz. We were together in the US and she was popular there too. I think she should be recognized for standing alone against a big organization (Stardom). She didn't get it this time, but I hope that she can spread her wings even further for next year," he encouraged.
