Falls Count Anywhere 4 Way Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita & Akito defeated HARASHIMA & Soma Takao, Sanshiro Takagi & Mizuki Watase and Shigehiro Irie Vs Gota Ihashi when Takeshita pinned Watase with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster onto a stack of weight plates (30:15).

To celebrate the opening of a new Fitness Shop in the Harajuku branch of Gold’s Gym, DDT was invited to set up a Falls Count Anywhere match in the building. The spectators were warned not to touch the shop goods or the working equipment for their own safety. “I will not run, I will not push, I will not get hurt” was the advice given to them for the match. Four chairs were laid out in the main storefront to act as the squared circle but obviously didn’t mean anything after the opening minutes. When the match began to spread out, Mizuki Watase pressed HARASHIMA into a sharp part of one of the exercise machines. Elsewhere Gota Ihashi tried to pin Konosuke Takeshita with Shigehiro Irie standing on top of him. Akito stopped them but Irie fought back with a Wonder Core.

Ihashi found boxing gloves and wore them to fight Sanshiro Takagi. His punches were countered by Takagi’s Low Kicks. They then found a climbing wall and Takagi challenged HARASHIMA to try it out. HARASHIMA successfully climbed up the device. Takagi couldn’t do the same. A daisy chain of Neck Locks was formed until HARASHIMA broke it by kicking Irie. Takagi dragged Watase over to a treadmill and made him sprint on it. Takeshita couldn’t stop laughing at this so Takagi grabbed him and told everyone to move the match outside.

It turned out Takeshita was still full of energy while everyone else began to feel tired. The 60 minute match from Saturday was enough preparation for him to take part in long matches. Watase climbed a drinks machine. He dove off of it onto Akito and Soma Takao below. Ihashi was made to do some benchpresses. Akito put Irie in the Scorpion Lock. Takeshita brought Watase over to the dumbbell area and tried to Brainbuster him. Watase blocked it until he was hit with a Big Boot to the face. Takeshita then gave Watase a Vertical Drop Brainbuster onto a stack of 3 weight plates! That was enough for the three count. The shop manager called the event a surprising success and thinks they should do it again sometime.

5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Ken Ohka (c) defeated Atsushi Maruyama with the Fire Spear (18:35).
*V1 for Ken Ohka.

The champion Ken Ohka was able to beat Atsushi Maruyama even with the challenger getting support from Yasu Urano and MIYAWAKI at ringside. Urano got a few punches in when the ref was distracted and MIYAWAKI pulled the ref out of the ring when Ohka had Maruyama pinned. Maruyama gave Ohka a Low Blow and hit his TAJIRI certified Buzzsaw Kick. Ohka kicked out of the pin and countered another Buzzsaw Kick into a Dragon Screw. He then hit a Dragon Suplex and finished the match with the Fire Spear. Despite the dirty fighting, Ohka was happy to get his first title defence with Maruyama in Osaka. He spoke about his memories of Delfin Arena and how if it wasn’t for that place he may not be here today. Maruyama congratulated Ohka but said he would never beat him twice in a row. Ohka had to correct him and brought up the match they had back in December, which Ohka also won. Ohka said he wants to defend the title in Kansai, Kyushu, Hokkaido, the United States and Canada! If the Olympics ever include pro wrestling as an official sport of the Games then he wants to defend the title there too!

Yasu Urano wondered why Ganpuro reached out to book him for the show. He figured it out when he saw he was going against Shinichiro Tominaga. The match was to rekindle his memories of K-DOJO. He also got to see what MIYAWAKI and Minoru Fujita had been up to. Urano admitted he hates Ohka but it was nice to see his old friends find something like Ganpuro to support.

Sugar, sweets, candy, chocolate and crisps. Anything that will rot your teeth was on display for the 15,000 Calorie Double Sweet Death Match. There was also an exploding cracker launcher set up in one of the corners. Yumehito Imanari and Bambi fought and force fed each other for almost 10 gruelling minutes. Bambi had to load her kneepad with candy to knock Imanari down and out with the Standing Shining Wizard. After the match Imanari talked about his other job working on DDT’s video team. Part of his work is to look over old tapes and he got to see a lot of Bambi’s matches back when she wrestled as “Showa”. He told Bambi she looked so thin back then but he is happy to see how big she is in comparison now. According to Imanari, Bambi passes his test! Bambi hugged Imanari but the two accidentally fell into the corner where the cracker launcher was and the collision made it explode.

Enjo-gun fell apart when Shibata accidentally hit Mitomi Masayuki with a Superman Punch. The two then fought each other. Shibata grabbed a can of beer and swung at Masayuki. He missed and found himself right into the arms of Hiroto Okubo. When Okubo gave Shibata a German Suplex, his partner Daina Mido drank the beer. Mido & Okuba promised to work hard so they can get more recognition and get regular spots in Ganpuro.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “AT THIS TIME, GET EXCITED IN OSAKA!”, 30/04/2017
Osaka Hirano Community Hall
307 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Reika Saiki & Marika Kobashi defeated Maki Itoh & Mizuki when Saiki submitted Itoh with the Tower Bridge (11:36).
2. Yuna Manase defeated Azusa Takigawa with the Kakato Drop (9:36).
3. Miyu Yamashita defeated Nonoko with the Crash Rabbit Heat (7:44).
4. SIN Biishiki-gun Vs Dragon Bombers – No Countout Rules: Saki-sama & Martha defeated Rika Tatsumi & Maho Kurone when Martha pinned Kurone with a School Boy (16:04).
5. Shoko Nakajima & Mil Clown defeated Yuu & Nodoka-oneesan when Clown pinned Nodoka with the Mil Clutch α (11:44).

According to Kumaun, Mil Clown was happy to get the pinfall a tough but fun main event. Shoko Nakajima noticed that Tokyo Joshi Pro drew its largest crowd yet in Osaka. She feels the company has growing momentum and it encourages her to work harder.

Martha had to get over her fear of Maho Kurone to win the No Countout Match for SIN Biishiki-gun. She brought her mop into the ring but was stopped by the referee. Kurone got involved in the ruckus and the ref ended up getting knocked down. Martha then wiped the mop against Kurone’s face. Rika Tatsumi stopped Martha with a Hip Attack but Saki-sama brought Tatsumi out of the ring. Martha then rolled over Kurone for the three count. Saki told Tatsumi that she is tired of seeing her face and ugly claws so she was done with her. Tatsumi said this wasn’t the end and something had been bothering her throughout the match. She thinks Martha is actually a man dressed as a maid and shouldn’t be wrestling in Tokyo Joshi! Saki was shocked at the accusation and assured everyone that Martha’s is genuinely an 8 year old girl. Tatsumi promised to uncover Martha’s real identity.

In a throwback to one of the earlier big feuds in Tokyo Joshi, Miyu Yamashita defeated Nonoko. It was a battle between Yamashita’s kicks and Nonoko’s bust, Yamashita proved that she has transformed into a much stronger fighter since their early bouts. She was able to lift Nonoko up for the Attitude Adjustment then the Crash Rabbit Heat was all she wrote.

Azusa Takigawa acted like her match with Yuna Manase was actually an exam to determine if Manase will be accepted into Konkatsu-gun. Her questions about Manase’s relationship status only made the situation between the two colder. When they got back to wrestling, Manase came out on top.

Maki Itoh blamed Mizuki for their loss to Reika Saiki & Marika Kobashi and was angry at her for not helping when she was needed. As Itoh Respect Army member #001, Mizuki got back on Itoh’s good side by leading her fan chants after the match. The chants are all about how cute Itoh is.

Before intermission Itoh asked anyone to challenge her to a match at Shinjuku FACE on 4th June. Takigawa took her up on the offer but Itoh hated the idea. She doesn’t want to fight someone weak like Takigawa. Takigawa snapped back that she is Itoh’s senior and she has done underground idol work back when Itoh was in elementary school. So she better show her some respect!
