TOKYO JOSHI PRO “DON’T MISS THE SIGNS”, 10/07/2021
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. International Princess Title: Hikari Noa (c) Vs Raku

The first ever all Up Up Girls championship match is here! Hikari Noa puts the International Princess Title on the line against Raku after Raku pinned her on today’s show. Raku used a new Cross-Arm Backslide move that she has since named the Hurricane Turn. Noa wanted the match to take place in Ryogoku KFC Hall so she can get her win back in the same place.

Yuki Arai will be on the show. She is eager to win her first match but her four losses so far are already disappointing her.

Shinjuku FACE

1. DDT Extreme Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Chris Brookes (E/c) Vs Shinya Aoki (I/c)

The DDT Extreme Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title continue to be linked together. Shinya Aoki defended the Iron Man Title at a hot spring earlier today and challenged Chris Brookes for the Extreme Title. Brookes has been a double champion with both belts before and become one again this way. However if Aoki loses the title before the match takes place, then their match will still go ahead with just the Extreme Title on the line.

DDT “SHIRO NO YU PRESENTS CASTLE HOT SPRING ROJO PRO WRESTLING” Results

June 26, 2021

DDT “SHIRO NO YU PRESENTS CASTLE HOT SPRING ROJO PRO WRESTLING”, 26/06/2021
Kumamoto Castle Natural Hot Spring
0 Fans

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Falls Count Anywhere 4 Way Match: Shinya Aoki (c) defeated Chris Brookes, Shunma Katsumata and Yukio Naya when Aoki pinned Naya with the European Clutch (25:39).
*V1 for Shinya Aoki.

The folks at DDT have taken a liking to Kumamoto Castle Natural Hot Spring and vice versa. The hot spring’s director invited Shinya Aoki to defend the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title inside the spring. Aoki and his three challengers wasted no time in starting the match.

First they fought in the dressing room but quickly made their way into the public baths. Shunma Katsumata tortured everyone by pouring jugs of hot water over them. Chris Brookes threw him into a castle of chairs for revenge.

Yukio Naya was thrown into a hot shower where he fainted in agony. Katsumata tortured Brookes even further with dripping hot water. Naya knocked all three of his opponents into the electric bath, giving them all electric shocks.

The fight moved over to the bathroom where Toui Kojima was dragged into the chaos. Then it was over to the open-air bath where Katsumata did two Moonsaults. Everyone moved out of the way so he landed in the baths both times. He was able to give Brookes a Death Valley Bomb but Aoki broke the count.

Aoki and Katsumata fought their way into the sauna. Katsumata used a towel to send heat waves into his opponent but all it did was revitalise Aoki! He countered the ¡Hasta la vista! into a Sleeper Hold but Naya broke it up. Naya put Aoki in the Cobra Twist but Aoki skillfully escaped the hold. He then rolled Naya up in a European Clutch in the sauna to get the 3 count for a successful title defence.

Aoki celebrated the win by first taking a bath and then second challenge Brookes for the DDT Extreme Title. He asked Brookes for a handshake but Brookes splashed water into his face and then ran off. It was decided that a Double Title match between Brookes and Aoki will take place on 15th July!

Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall
140 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Kazusada Higuchi defeated Hideki Okatani with the Brain Claw (7:01).

3. Takoyaki! Kushikatsu! A Perfect Bowl Like 3 Way Match: Kazuki Hirata defeated Yukio Sakaguchi and Yuki Iino when Hirata pinned Iino after the God’s Right Knee from Sakaguchi (9:53).
4. Tetsuya Endo & Yuji Hino defeated Naomi Yoshimura & Yukio Naya when Hino pinned Naya with the Fuckin’ BOMB (11:43).

7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata defeated HARASHIMA & Yuji Okabayashi (c) when Katsumata pinned HARASHIMA with the Firebird Splash (24:46).
*Smile Pissari fails in V2. The 37KAMIINA becomes the 70th KO-D Tag Team Champions!

NepowWER beats Pissari!! The challengers had everything sorted and took everything that was thrown at them, even literally each other. For Shunma Katsumata it was a big performance today. He avoided the Somato and sent HARASHIMA right into Konosuke Takeshita to deal with. Then when Yuji Okabayashi ran in, Takeshita took him out with a Lariat. MADMAX was used to plant HARASHIMA in the perfect position for Katsumata to use the Firebird Splash. That is a rarely used finisher for HARASHIMA and he had now knows what it’s like to be pinned with it. Okabayashi almost made the save but broke the pin too late. The two teams did their poses to each other after the match.

Takeshita said three miracles have recently happened to himself and Katsumata. First, Katsumata gets a pin on Jun Akiyama. Second, they win the Ultimate Tag League. And third, today they beat Smile Pissari to become the new KO-D Tag Team Champions! The show was in Takeshita’s home of Osaka but even he agrees that Katsumata is the star of the show today. Katsumata promised The 37KAMIINA will continue having exciting matches that will leave everyone sweating in a good atmosphere. Just like a sauna. That’s not the end though. After the show Katsumata, Yuki Ueno & MAO all said they want to challenge for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles together. They want to challenge DAMNATION for the belts in Tetsuya Endo’s hometown!

The King Of DDT final four used today to prepare for the finals next week. Daisuke Sasaki said he will prove he is the strongest. He is preparing a new special move to win the tournament. Kazusada Higuchi was asked if the Brain Claw can be used against an opponent as large as Yuji Hino. Higuchi said he is finally getting used to the move as one of his own. He now knows how to rely on it at a time where it is important.

After the Jun Akiyama Vs Yusuke Okada match, Akiyama told Okada to study more. He thinks Okada was very motivated today which tells Akiyama he should hit him harder from now on. He wants their story together in DDT to be different from their story in All Japan. Okada recently admitted he considered retiring from pro wrestling last year and Akiyama was there to listen to his problems. That meant a lot to Okada and he thinks it is the reason he followed him over to DDT. It had motivated Okada to do his best for both his mentor and his new home.

Kazuki Hirata stole the win in the 3 Way Match. Yukio Sakaguchi had Yuki Iino pinned after hitting the God’s Right Knee. Hirata used a Sliding Kick to break the pin and then cover Iino for the three count.

In an effort to play mind games, Yuya Koroku stole Danshoku Dieno’s wrestling gear backstage and wore it to the ring. This created a chain reaction. Dieno appeared wearing Toru Owashi’s gear and then Owashi came out wearing Antonio Honda’s gear. Honda couldn’t find anything to wear so he refused to walk down to the ring and wrestle. He eventually picked up the courage to enter the ring in just his socks and underwear. After using Gongitsune to poke Koroku in the eye, he did his own version of the Danshoku Driver with his underwear to pick up the win.

Chris Brookes Vs Shinya Aoki for both the DDT Extreme Title and Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title will take place on 15th July.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STAND PROUD” Results

June 26, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STAND PROUD”, 26/06/2021
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
202 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Maki Itoh & Nodoka Tenma defeated Mirai Maiumi & Kaya Toribami when Itoh submitted Toribami with a Crab Hold (11:32).
2. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuki Kamifuku and Arisu Endo when Tatsumi pinned Endo with a Rotating Leg Fold (7:00).
3. Shoko Nakajima & Moka Miyamoto defeated Miu Watanabe & Yuki Arai when Miyamoto submitted Arai with the Rashomon (10:15).
4. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Hikari Noa, Suzume & Haruna Neko when Raku pinned Noa with a Cross-Arm Backslide Pin (13:10).
5. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Marika Kobashi defeated Hyper Misao, Nao Kakuta & Mahiro Kiryu when Kobashi pinned Kiryu with the Running Bulldog Headlock (10:59).
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) defeated Sakisama with the Crash Rabbit Heat (16:27).
*V2 for Miyu Yamashita.

For the first time in their half decade long rivalry, Miyu Yamashita has beaten Sakisama! In the days coming into today’s big main event, Sakisama had gone viral on Twitter with her ability to look elegant while wrestling. So that along with her virtually flawless record against Yamashita had her entering the match with a lot of momentum. However Yamashita matched her kick for kick, getting closer to victory by hitting the Attitude Adjustment from the second rope and also the Crash Rabbit Heat to the back of the head. Sakisama grabbed hold with a Triangle Choke but Yamashita lifted her way free and hit the Skull Kick. The final moments had both strike each other with a High Kick. Sakisama fell down but Yamashita was able to bounce off of the ropes and hit the Crash Rabbit Heat for the three count.

After the match Yamashita said Sakisama is the one opponent who frustrates her more than any other. It took Yamashita putting the Princess Of Princess Title on the line to finally beat her. After all that, today’s first win makes Yamashita very happy indeed. She thanked the fans for supporting her and Maki Itoh for being her second at ringside. As a champion, Yamashita has no limits! Backstage Yamashita said she still hates Sakisama but also wants to fight her again and again. Sakisama also said something similar about the “Pelican” in her brief post-match statement. Yamashita also wants to enter the Tokyo Princess Cup because she still hasn’t won it yet. She wants to be at her best when and win it as the champion. After that she will then know what she wants to do next. It confirms that the next Princess Title match won’t be until after the tournament.

Hyper Misao told everyone her tag team partners Nao Kakuta & Mahiro Kiryu have high social skills because they previously had jobs before becoming pro wrestlers. They wanted to give their business cards to the opposing team to prove this. Of course, this turned out to be a trap for Misao’s team to jump the bell. Marika Kobashi and The Magical Sugar Rabbits immediately turned things around and went on to win.

Raku used a Cross-Arm Backslide Pin to get the upset over Hikari Noa. Raku said she has lost to Noa in Singles matches plenty of times but she wants to challenge her for the International Princess Title! Noa happily accepted the challenge and wants the match to happen in Ryogoku KFC Hall on 7th July. She lost to Raku here today so she may as well defend the title against her in the same venue. Noa warned that she is going to be crazy in the ring because she only just recently watched Jun Kasai’s new documentary.

Today is the first time Moka Miyamoto directly won a match! Her Modified Cobra Twist is now called the Rashomon and she used it to submit Yuki Arai. The name has nothing to do with the famous story, instead it means her first win is like walking straight through a Rashomon gate to enter the big city. At least that’s how I remember it. She said her trainee period lasted a long time because of Covid-19 and she was disappointed she couldn’t get her first win in her first year. But she is still really happy with getting the first win today. Her next goal is to win a singles match. She also looks forward to fighting Arai again. Shoko Nakajima commented that the rise in reliable and enthusiastic juniors in Tokyo Joshi is increasing so she will do her best not to lose against them.

A brief alliance was formed between Yuki Kamifuku & Arisu Endo to gang up on Rika Tatsumi. It became a free for all that ended in a flurry of finishers. Endo gave Tatsumi the Tsuruga Castle Knee Drop across the back of her neck. Kamifuku gave Endo the Famouser but Tatsumi came back to hit her with the Hip Attack. Tatsumi then pinned Endo with a Rotating Leg Fold to survive with the win.

When Kaya Toribami used her agility to avoid Nodoka Tenma’s attacks, Tenma couldn’t help but mumble “cool” out loud.
