It was announced at a book signing today that Sanshiro Takagi will be taking over Gake no Fuchi Pro Wrestling, the one woman wrestling company previously created by Miyako Matsumoto. This is a business move that Takagi is personally involved with and has nothing to do with DDT, Tokyo Joshi Pro or CyberAgent.
But let’s talk about it anyway.
Gake no Fuchi Pro was set up by Matsumoto in 2011 when she felt her wrestling career was at a crossroads. She decided to form her own company to challenge other wrestlers who were in a similar position, thinking about their futures as if they were standing on a cliff edge (hence where Gakenofuchi/Gake No Fuchi comes from). At times the company was associated with Ice Ribbon and it continued running a few shows a year up until 2016. The show format involved Matsumoto taking on an opponent (male or female) in a series of five challenges, only some of which were pro wrestling related. Some examples of opponents include Tsuyoshi Kikuchi, The Great Sasuke, Tsukasa Fujimoto, Emi Sakura and Minoru Suzuki.
The company has been given a slightly new name of Gake no Fuchi Joshi Pro Wrestling, switching it to strictly women’s pro wrestling. Matsumoto will continue to play a leading role in the company and the first show will be held on Christmas Eve at Saitama Wrestle Battle Hall. DDT referee Daisuke Kiso and BASARA ring announcer Rikiya Shindo will be there to perform their duties.
While Takagi is pleased with the developments going on with Tokyo Joshi, he wanted to do something more in the joshi scene as it gains popularity. When Matsumoto left Ice Ribbon back in July and appeared at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2019” only hours later, they began to talk. Takagi felt Matsumoto created something with Gake no Fuchi Pro that works with his style of Cultural Pro Wrestling so they ended up striking a deal together. Matsumoto believes she could have brought back Gake no Fuchi Pro on her own but she is happy to have Takagi backing her.
A few ground rules had to be put down during the announcement. Matsumoto talked about signing wrestlers from other companies but Takagi told her this isn’t the Showa era anymore. They have to follow the laws behind contracts. Matsumoto also brought up the wide range of contacts Takagi has in the business. She wants her first match to be against Asuka from WWE so she expects Takagi to get in touch with her. Takagi confirmed that he sent Asuka a DM on Twitter. He also admitted he did not follow Matsumoto on Twitter until today. Matsumoto would also like to get Rika Tatsumi and Maki Itoh involved. However Tokyo Joshi’s GM Tetsuya Koda had already made it clear that he does not want Tokyo Joshi and Gake no Fuchi Joshi to interact with each other.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Yuki Iino
Yuki Iino won last weekend’s Gauntlet match to get the KO-D Openweight Title shot.
Jiro Kuroshio’s dad requested that Jiro and Konosuke Takeshita team together for Jiro’s final match in DDT. Takeshita agreed to it as long as Antonio Honda could be one of their opponents. Honda accepted the offer because he already has a tag team with Miyu Yamashita.
Honda was supposed to be in Match #3 but he pulled out to do the Kuroshio match. Danshoku Dieno takes his place as Super Sasadango Machine’s tag partner.
There is a problem with the Battle Royal. The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title was supposed to be defended in it for the sake of Souken’s Michiaki Nakano. However Dieno is now the champion and he is booked on the match afterwards. So what does Nakano have to fight for?

DDT “AGF 2019 ~SPARKLING MAIDEN’S MUSCLE LAND~ OPENING BATTLE”, 09/11/2019 Tokyo Naka-Ikebukuro Park “AGF2019” Special Ring ??? Fans
1. Warahibi! Collaboration Match: Akito & Shunma Katsumata (w/ Good Batting Seishun) defeated Super Sasadango Machine & Makoto Oishi (w/ Glassic Classic) when Katsumata pinned Sasadango with a Moonsault Press (11:11).

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’19 ~BEST REGARDS~”, 09/11/2019 Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall 207 Fans – No Vacancy
1. Sakisama & Misao defeated Yuna Manase & Mahiro Kiryu when Misao pinned Kiryu with the Vanitas (6:12).
2. Nodoka Tenma defeated Haruna Neko with the WAR Special (5:28).
3. 3 Way Match: Mizuki defeated Mina Shirakawa and Pom Harajuku when Mizuki submitted Harajuku with the Face Lock (8:37).

6. Miyu Yamashita & Raku defeated Yuka Sakazaki & Hikari Noa when Yamashita pinned Noa with the Crash Rabbit Heat (13:27).
After the main event, Miyu Yamashita said she wants to light up Yuka Sakazaki as they prepare for the Princess Of Princess Title match on 4th January. This is because Sakazaki didn’t want her first title defence to be against her. Yamashita hopes Sakazaki will get just as motivated as she is for their match.
The debuting Nightshade showed her power by using Spears, Splashes, Lariats and her Neck Hanging Bomb finisher to win her tag match. She told Maki Itoh she is ready for their International Princess Title match next week. Itoh gave her the middle finger and the two told each other to “walk away.”
Losing the Princess Tag Team Titles has left Misao feeling despondent. She was missing during NEO Biishiki-gun’s entrance. Sakisama didn’t notice she was by herself until she got into the ring. When she figured it out she went back and dragged Misao out. Misao was put into an ever worse state when Mahiro Kiryu loudly reminded her she is no longer a champion. Kiryu held Misao in place while Yuna Manase grabbed Sakisama’s rose. Manase swung the rose at Misao but Sakisama jumped in and took the blow for her. That snapped Misao out of her rut and she rallied the team to victory. Sakisama was telling Misao how wonderful it was to see her recover when Rika Tatsumi entered the ring. She asked Misao if her defeat at Sumo Hall means that Hyper Misao can come back? She requested a hug but Misao left the ring with Sakisama instead. Tatsumi isn’t upset about it. She knows that Hyper Misao will come back some day.
Hear the drums? That’s the sound of Thunder Rosa returning to Tokyo Joshi Pro at the 4th January show!
