Now that the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title is out of the main event picture, Maki Ito has to put all of her focus on Miyu Yamashita. According to Yamashita this will be the best idea for Ito because the chase for the TOKYO Princess Title is more interesting when the challenger doesn’t already have a belt.

To ensure both men will give their absolute all, the match is going to be a No Rope Barbed Wire Death Match!
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’19”, 04/01/2019 Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Special Single Match: Meiko Satomura Vs Reika Saiki
2. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Riho
3. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Maki Ito
The relationship mapping for the TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles match is a little bit all over the place. Yuka Sakazaki and Shoko Nakajima are friends and team together as the Miraclians. But Sakazaki currently teams with Mizuki as the Magical Sugar Rabbits. Mizuki has been friends with Riho since before joining Tokyo Joshi and they teamed together to challenge for the Tag Titles back in January. So when Nakajima was looking for someone good enough to beat the best team in TJPW, she picked Riho. No mention of a team name for them yet but there has certainly has to be one for the sake of the relationship chart.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FAN CLUB BOX OFFICE – PURE TOKYO JOSHI PRO WRESTLING 1”, 18/11/2018 Saitama Warabi Wrestle Battlehouse 74 Fans
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Rika Tatsumi defeated Miyu Yamashita (c) with a School Boy (6:08 pm) *Rika Tatsumi becomes the 1,334th champion.
1. Yuu defeated Hruna Neko with the Katahajime (3:05).
2. Hikari defeated Raku with the Missile Kick (6:24).
3. Lucha Libre Rules: Mil Nodocaras & Yuki Caras defeated Hyper Misao & Hyper Hinano when Nodocaras pinned Hinano with the Killswitch (6:23).
4. Borrowed Competition Match – 2 Count Fall Rule: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Yuna Manase with the Broom Assited Magical Girl Splash (14:32).
5. Miyu Yamashita & Mizuki defeated Shoko Nakajima & Miu when Yamashita pinned Miu with the Attitude Adjustment (10:13).
Miu surprised her opponents with her strength during the main event, prompting Miyu Yamashita to praise her for progressing so quickly.
Yuka Sakazaki Vs Yuna Manase had special rules attached to it. A two count pin is only needed to win however pinfalls only counted when the attacker held an item borrowed from a fan at ringside. Sakazaki and Manase ended up fighting over other people’s socks, a belt, their chairs and a small plastic broom.
The Bakuretsu Sisters were unable to compete on the show because they ate too much lunch backstage. Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino were replaced by guest luchadoras Mil Nodocaras & Yuki Caras, aka The NodoCaras Sisters. They ended up swapping their masks with Hyper Misao & Hyper Hinano during the match.
Shoko Nakajima tried to pin Miyu Yamashita with a School Boy during the show opening introductions. Yamashita escaped but was then rolled into a School Boy by Rika Tatsumi on the stage. Tatsumi is the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion! She later reappeared to sing her entrance song and did so clutching her new championship the entire time.
1. Sanshiro Takagi & Akito defeated Makoto Oishi & Kazuki Hirata when Takagi submitted Hirata with a Sorpion Lock (10:27).
2. Konosuke Takeshita defeated Mizuki Watase with the Chicago Skyline (10:33).
3. Shunma Katsumata & Yoshihiko defeated MAO & Antonio Honda when Yoshihiko submitted Honda with the Prosperous Must Decay (11:58).
4. Kota Umeda defeated Yuki Iino with a High Right Kick (10:45).
5. DAMNATION Vs Shuten-dōji: Yukio Sakaguchi & Masahiro Takanashi defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao when Takanashi pinned Sasaki with the Laphroaig (13:43).
6. Nobuhiro Shimatani Local Triumph! Shimonoseki Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Mad Paulie & Nobuhiro Shimatani defeated HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Yuki Ueno when Shimatani pinned Ueno with the Reverse Hit (18:14).
DDT’s tour of roster homecomings finished up with Nobuhiro Shimatani’s return to Yamaguchi. “Nobu” got the spotlight and even the win in the main event, hitting a Crucifix Pin Bomb called the Reverse Hit to pin Yuki Ueno. The last time Shimatani wrestled in Yamaguchi he promised to return as a stronger fighter and today he proved it. Next time he returns he promises to have something wrapped around his waist to show off.
Today was the go home show for next weekend’s Korakuen Hall event. After having six tag matches together, Daisuke Sasaki and Masahiro Takanashi are now tied three a piece with every result having one pinning or submitting the other. Sasaki has mocked Takanashi for only winning three times a year so Takanashi has promised to break that jynx next Sunday!
At one point during Match #3 MAO bundled Yoshihiko up into a ball and he kicked it out of the ring. Yoshihiko recovered and got the submission victory on Antonio Honda for the second show in a row.
Konosuke Takeshita used one of Colt Cabana’s moves to beat Mizuki Watase. The Chicago Skyline has Takeshita standing on the middle rope carrying his opponent in a Fireman’s Carry. Takeshita then jumps off and drops the opponent chest and stomach first onto the top ropes and turnbuckle.
Kazuki Hirata thought he would be untouchable because his partner for today Makoto Oishi recently won the STRONGEST-K TAG Titles in K-DOJO. Oishi wasn’t really impressed with Hirata and had to help him apply the Strangle Hold to Akito. Hirata & Oishi danced together until Sanshiro Takagi knocked Hirata down with a Riki Choshu style Lariat and made him tap out to a Scorpion Lock. Takagi & Akito then gestured another match with Oishi, maybe for the STRONGEST-K TAG Titles somewhere down the line.
BASARA “BASARA 82 ~FEAST~”, 17/11/2018 Shin-Kiba 1st RING 243 Fans – No Vacancy

6. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated SAGAT with the Crescent Moon (16:37). *V2 for Ryota Nakatsu.
The show was focused on establishing the Nakatsu Gundan, who are now going to be called Sparky. With new yellow baseball jerseys being worn by every member and black strips under their eyes, today was the first time Ryota Nakatsu, Naoki Tanizaki and Akiyori Takizara were all together since the unit’s formation. Nakatsu defeated SAGAT in the main event to defend the Union MAX Title. He countered a Perfect Plex from SAGAT into the Crescent Moon modified Crab Hold to make the challenger submit. They shook hands afterwards and Sparky ended the show celebrating by drinking beers with the fans around the ring.
The Sento Minzoku Vs Ganbare☆Wrestling match turned into a brawl early and kept the bad tension all the way through. When the match was over Daiki Shimomura wanted to get Keisuke Ishii’s attention but Ishii ignored him.
Fuminori Abe’s win over Ikuto Hidaka means that he advances to the semi-final of the Tekaichi Jr. Tournament in Zero1. As part of the tournament gimmick, Abe is now in possession of two crystal balls. The tournament winner ends up possessing all of the balls and can use them to make a wish.
The finish of the 3 Way Match had Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi put himself in an upside down lotus position to meditate. Ryuichi Sekine simply grabbed onto Hiroshi from that position and applied the Let’s Combine to make him give up.
Best Stretchman V3 is starting to act like Yasu Urano is the 4th member of the Best Stretch team. He called him Uranoman throughout the opener and asked to team with him the next time BASARA is in Shin-Kiba 1st RING.
DDT “DRAMATIC FIGHTING SPIRIT! 2018”, 17/11/2018 Kumamoto Food Park 228 Fans – No Vacancy

5. Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Mad Paulie defeated Yukio Sakaguchi, Masahiro Takanashi & Jun Kasai when Sasaki pinned Takanashi with the Vietnam Driver II (14:39).
6. Kota Umeda Local Triumph! Kumamoto Specialty Special Tag Match: Kota Umeda & MAO defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata when Umeda pinned Katsumata with the Umeda Driver (20:37).
He’s been plagued with injuries over the last year but thanks to all of his hometown supporters today Kota Umeda pulled off a big win with MAO against ALL OUT. A Thrust Kick from Shunma Katsumata was meant for Umeda but it hit Takeshita instead. From there MAO gave Katsumata a Half Nelson Suplex and Umeda hit his finisher for the three count. Umeda hopes that the coming period between today’s show and the next time DDT comes to Kumamoto will not be heavily affected with injuries.
The see-saw of results between Daisuke Sasaki and Masahiro Takanashi isn’t stopping anytime soon. Today was Sasaki’s turn to pin Takanashi. He was able to block the Takatonic and hit Now Or Never for a nearfall. Takanashi kicked out of that but couldn’t kick out of the Vietnam Driver II.
Mizuki Watase Double Stomped on Kazuki Hirata’s glasses at the start of their match. Hirata went into despair when he put them on but then pulled out a replacement pair of glasses from his tights. Watase rolled him up while he was dancing. Hirata countered the roll up into his own cradle but Watase rolled back on top and got the three count. Hirata looked on the bright side and praised Watase beating him, which Watase didn’t expect.

5. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs Sento Minzoku Again!: Ken Ohka defeated Ryuichi Sekine with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (11:36).
Ken Ohka was left bloodied by Ryuichi Sekine but not beaten. Sekine busted Ohka open with a metal spike as they brawled outside the ring. Ohka escaped from the Let’s Combine and took control with some Dragon Screws and the Kamikaze. The two traded chops and heabutts until Ohka hit the Fire Spear and pinned Sekine with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Ohka called Sekine his friend but also said if he is now his enemy because of Sento Minzoku then he will fight him as many times as possible. But now Ohka has another target in his sights. Minoru Fujita! Ohka needs an opponent for the big Korakuen Hall show on 16th January and he has a lot of history with Fujita. Ohka is challenging Fujita to a No Ropes Barbed Wire match for the main event! Fujita says his kind of pro wrestling isn’t going to get on the cover of Shukan Puroresu but the feelings he puts into it aren’t lies. He will give it his all at Korakuen!
The Ganbare☆Wrestling rookie Shuhei Washida approached Ohka at the end of the show pleading to be added to the Korakuen card. Washida cannot stand being away from Ganpro especially as more and more wrestlers join the group. He slapped Ohka to prove how serious he is and it was enough to convince him. Ohka was then blindsided when Minoru Fujita attacked him. Fujita set up a table at ringside and crushed Ohka through it with a Diving Body Press from the top rope. Fujita told Ohka that Sento Minzoku only has one purpose and that’s to destroy Ganpro!
The MAD DOG CLUB ruined everyone’s fun when they attacked Hiroshi Yamato, Yumehito Imanari & Shota before their match. The Ganpro team were dancing with radishes to entertain the fans when the MDC ambushed them.
Referee Daisuke Kiso got knocked out during the Moeka Haruhi Vs Manami Kanda match. Yumehito Imanari got in the ring all dressed up to take his place but Haruhi and Kanda quickly got rid of him.
HARUKAZE will return to Ganpro on 16th December. She will team with Moeka Haruhi to take on Sumire Natsu & Fairy Nihonbashi. Other matches announced are Kouki Iwasaki Vs Jake Lee and Keisuke Ishii Vs Jun Akiyama! Two other names were announced to appear. Yukihiro Abe and Mitomi Masayuki make their Ganpro returns!
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “5th ANNIVERSARY SHINKIBA TOUR 2018 AUTUMN THREE”, 17/11/2018 Shin-Kiba 1st RING 288 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Hinano with the Fame Asser (7:43).
2. Haruna Neko Debut Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Haruna Neko with the Unmanned Local Train Hold (6:36).
3. 3 Way Match: Yuna Manase defeated Raku and Mina Shirakawa when Manase pinned Raku with the Neck Screw Hold (11:20).
4. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Miyu Yamashita & Nodoka Tenma defeated Maki Itoh (c) & Hyper Misao when Yamashita submitted Ito with a Crab Hold (13:24). *Miyu Yamashita becomes the 1,333rd champion.
5. Yuu defeated Yuki Aino with the Katahajime (8:28).
6. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) defeated Hikari & Miu when Sakazaki pinned Hikari with the Magical Magical Girl Splash (14:34). *V2 for The Magical Sugar Rabbits.
The Up Up Girls duo put up a good fight with even Miu doing a Double Body Slam to Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki but they just couldn’t beat the TOKYO Princess Tag Team Champions. Late in the match Hikari kept Sakazaki in her clutches with the Cobra Twist but Mizuki broke the hold. Sakazaki dropped Hikari with the Complete Shot, Mizuki followed up with a Diving Foot Stop and Sakazaki got the pin with the Magical Magical Girl Splash. The champions told Hikari & Miu that they respect them from the bottom of their hearts.
Shoko Nakajima then entered the ring. She congratulated the Magical Sugar Rabbits and called them the best team in Tokyo Joshi Pro. She wants to challenge them for the tag titles at Korakuen Hall on 4th Janaury but knows that Sakazaki is her best partner when they team up as Miraclians. She needs to team with somebody beyond Sakazaki and boy did she find someone. It’s Riho! The Rabbits accepted the challenge. It kind of complicates the relationships between all four women but they all think it is worth it to create the best match possible.
Yuu asked Nodoka Tenma to be her final opponent in Tokyo Joshi on 1st December. The two made their debuts on the same day and have wrestled each other more times than any other person in the company. Tenma accepted but told Yuu she will not lose to her again. Tenma will finally beat Yuu on the day Yuu leaves Tokyo Joshi!
Maki Itoh suffered a major blow in the build up to 4/1 by losing the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title to Miyu Yamashita! The two faced off in a tag match with Nodoka Tenma and Hyper Misao also involved. Itoh kicked out of a Right High Kick at one but was beaten down by Yamashita with Buzzsaw Kicks and a Cobra Clutch. Yamashita then locked in a Crab Hold to make Itoh submit. Yamashita poured salt on the wounds by taunting Itoh with both the Iron Man Title and the TOKYO Princess Title before leaving the ring. Yamashita achieved her goal for today. She thinks their Korakuen match will be more interesting if Itoh has to chase after her in the build up. Itoh can’t do that if she already has a championship. Well, problem solved.
Haruna Neko had her debut match against Shoko Nakajima. It started off playful as both girls had fun with each other’s tails. Haruna also used a test of strength to make fun of Nakajima’s height by lifting her hand above Nakajima’s reach. Nakajima rolled Haruna into the Unmanned Local Train Hold from a La Magistral to make the rookie submit. For now Haruna hopes to learn more moves that she can use in her next matches.
The two remaining trainees waiting to debut learned who they will be facing in their first matches. Kyou takes on Yuka Sakazaki on 24th November and Yumi will face Saki Akai on 1st December.

The back and forth between Daisuke Sasaki and Masahiro Takanashi continues with both wrestlers attempting each other’s finishing moves during the main event. This time around Takanashi was able to hit the Takatonic to pin the KO-D Openweight Champion. Takanashi told the crowd afterwards he will beat Sasaki again later this month to become the champion.
Antonio Honda & Rey Paloma lost to DAMNATION when they both charged in to do Bionic Elbows only to hit each other by accident. The two both made up for it by dancing with each other after the match.
The team of Kazuki Hirata & Yoshihiko also had problems working together except this one completely fell apart. Yoshihiko was taking care of Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata until Kazuki Hirata stepped in and knocked down his partner in the process. Yoshihiko got angry and gave Hirata the Reincarnation. Oishi then piled on top of them to pin Hirata.
Danshoku Dieno greeted the fans at the start of the show. He was upset that he couldn’t remember anything by being in his hometown of Hiroshima. Hisaya Imabayashi tried to remind him of his college days in the region but Dieno got a headache and had to leave the ring. Despite his amnesia, Dieno was able to take part in an autograph signing during the show.
