Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
110 Fans – No Vacancy

4. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) defeated Chris Brookes, Drew Parker & Miyako Matsumoto when Shinno pinned Parker with the Ranhei (20:31).
*V2 for Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga.
5. Special Single Match: Yuu Yamagata defeated HARUKAZE with the Cross Facelock (2:59).
6. Special Single Match: Yuu Yamagata defeated Yuna Manase with the Cross Facelock (7:07).

The second Ganbare☆Joshi produced show was meant to give the spotlight to HARUKAZE and Yuna Manase but sadly for them Yuu Yamagata rained on their parade. Yamagata’s first match was against HARUKAZE and she was given an Armbreaker from HARUKAZE before the match even started. HARUKAZE went all or nothing into an Armbar but Yamagata fought out of it and easily won the match in under three minutes with the Cross Facelock. Her immediate match with Manase afterwards was more challenging but the end result was the same. Yamagata avoided the Suzumi Dynamic and rolled Manase into the Cross Facelock to win both of her matches by submission.

Yamagata was in a bad mood over the two matches. She called her opponents phony idols who don’t really want to lead joshi wrestling. It is impossible for them to shine in the joshi world. Yamagata had one last thing to say before she would leave. She will never be in this organization again! Manase cried over her defeat and was comforted by Moeka Haruhi. She told her no matter what happens, no matter how ugly they look, they are representing Ganbare☆Wrestling. Even if they are completely defeated they should let the fans see it all. Manase understood her point. She came here to Ganpro from Tokyo Joshi Pro with a vow never to give up or run away. There will be another Ganbare☆Joshi show in June. Manase and HARUKAZE promised after Golden Week they will drag Yamagata back to prove her wrong!

Chris Brookes & Drew Parker weren’t exactly thrilled to be teaming with Miyako Matsumoto in the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles match. They were fine when left to their own devices (except for the moment where Parker tried to attack Hagane Shinno with scissors) but when Matsumoto wanted to get involved they would ignore her. Shinichiro Tominaga put them in position outside the ring for Asuka to Moonsault onto them. Matsumoto got a nearfall on Shinno with a Gannosuke Clutch. Shinno got one back and pinned Matsumoto with the Ranhei for a successful title defence. Brookes & Parker didn’t care about Matsumoto and left without her.

Minoru Fujita was at ringside working as a photographer during the Jacket Match. After Shuichiro Katsumura won the match against Cherry, Fujita shoved Ken Ohka into the ring. Katsumura then threw Ohka to the canvas and stole his wallet.

The Mixed Tag Tournament that was supposed to be held next month is confirmed to be cancelled. Haruhi thinks it will be brought back when it is safe to do so. And when it does she wants it to be named The Ganpro tournament.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SPRING TOUR ’21 ~THE BULLET~” Results

April 24, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SPRING TOUR ’21 ~THE BULLET~”, 24/04/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
110 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Maki Itoh & Arisu Endo defeated Nao Kakuta & Moka Miyamoto when Itoh submitted Miyamoto with the Itoh Special (9:51).
2. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao defeated Pom Harajuku and Mahiro Kiryu when Misao pinned Harajuku with La Magistral Cradle (11:01).
3. Yuki Kamifuku, Marika Kobashi & Raku defeated Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Haruna Neko when Kobashi pinned Neko with the Running Bulldog Headlock (11:29).
4. Hikari Noa defeated Sena Shiori with the Blizzard Suplex (8:50).
5. Miyu Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Shoko Nakajima defeated Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe, Mirai Maiumi & Suzume when Nakajima pinned Watanabe with the Northern Lights Suplex (13:07).

After the main event Shoko Nakajima touched on the latest state of emergency in Japan and Tokyo Joshi Pro’s decision to do empty arena shows for the next couple of weeks. Nakajima said she won’t have a chance to see the fans again but there is no pain that never ends. TJPW has to say goodbye to their fans for a while but they will be working hard and doing their best in the meantime.

In the prelude to the Princess Of Princess Title match, Miyu Yamashita wasn’t satisfied with the amount of time she got to fight Rika Tatsumi. She’s happy to be in the match but she needed more to figure out the champion’s plan for their title match. She thinks Tatsumi is going to target her legs but there is still also the Dragon Sleeper to worry about. Tatsumi warns she isn’t the same person she was in the past. She is “Champion Rika Tatsumi” who fights to the death and overcomes all obstacles. She is thinking of how to finish Yamashita off on 4th May.

Sena Shiori graduates from TJPW after her final match against her best friend Hikari Noa. Shiori was able to kick out of the Blizzard Suplex but a second one with a bridge pinned her for the three count. After the match Shiori said it’s been a little over a year since her debut and just over two since she became a trainee. She is grateful for her time here. She also said this isn’t a retirement but a graduation so she will see everyone again some day. She’s feeling sad about it but Sena will be Sena and she’ll try her best to keep smiling from now on. Backstage Shiori mentioned her big regret was never winning the Princess Tag Team Titles with Noa. They were best friends before pro wrestling and when Noa found out that Shiori wanted to be a wrestler she invited her to join TJPW because it was a safe place to learn. Now that Shiori is graduating, she wants to see Noa become a singles champion.
