7. Max The Impaler, Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku defeated Shoko Nakajima, Mizuki & Kaya Toribami when Max pinned Toribami with the Lariat (13:00).

Max The Impaler is looking for their first challenger for the International Princess Title. Maybe it might be Yuki Aino or Pom Harajuku who both sported little bits of warpaint across their cheeks while they teamed with Max today. It was announced at the start of the show that a Battle Royal will take place at Korakuen Hall on 27th October to determine the No. 1 Contender for IP Title. The winner will face Max for the title in Osaka on 19th November.

In a preview of the Princess Tag Team Titles match on 27th October, Free WiFi defeated Moka Miyamoto but Moka was without Juria Nagano today. She was teaming with Haru Kazashiro instead and it was the rookie who took the fall. Miyamoto believes that she can definitely beat Free WiFi with Nagano by her side.

The 2023 Class of Tokyo Joshi Pro will be put into a rookies tournament this November. The Next Generation Tournament ’23 will begin on 3rd November with two opening round matches, move onto the semi-finals on the 19th and then hold the final on 1st December. The six wrestlers who all debuted in TJPW this year will be taking part. That’s HIMAWARI, Wakana Uehara, Shino Suzuki, Toga, Haru Kazashiro and Runa Okubo for those not keeping track.

2. Daisuke Sasaki & KANON defeated Yukio Naya & Yuya Koroku when KANON pinned Koroku with the Vietnam Driver II (9:39).

4. Sapporo Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Noriyuki Yoshida defeated Kazuki Hirata, Tomoya & Kazuma Sumi when Yoshida pinned Sumi with the Authorized Lightning Leg Lariat (10:53).
5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani (c) defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Akito & Makoto Oishi when Sakaguchi pinned Oishi with the God’s Right Knee (17:35).
*V5 for Eruption.
6. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Toy Kojima when Brookes pinned Kojima with the Praying Mantis Bomb (21:56).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: MAO defeated Takeshi Masada (c) with a School Boy (3:17 pm).
*MAO becomes the 1,581st champion.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Takeshi Masada defeated MAO (c) with a School Boy (3:43 pm).
*Takeshi Masada becomes the 1,582nd champion.

Everybody was given a reminder to how hard headed Kazusada Higuchi is. During an out of the ring brawl Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada both lifted up a table and charged it towards Higuchi. The end result was Higuchi’s head bursting through the center of the table and leaving a hole in it while he was unharmed! Toy Kojima did a call out to Yuki Ueno by using a BME set up for a Diving Cross Body Block on Brookes. Kojima was later given the Praying Mantis Bomb twice. Higuchi broke the pin the first time but wasn’t able to save him the second.

In the final moments of the show Brookes briefly turned on Masada after his speech in order to try and win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Masada escaped but was rolled up by MAO outside the ring to lose the title anyway. Then during the post-show festivities Masada disguised himself as a fan to get close to MAO and attack him back to regain the belt.

Just like yesterday Sanshiro Takagi had a “Sapporo Castle” built out of stairs positioned near ringside to protect against Eruption. This time however there were three of them around the venue. Hideki Okatani immediately kicked one of them down during his team’s entrance. Yukio Sakaguchi was thrown into the second one and the final one was destroyed when a bunch of the wrestlers tackled each other into it. Makoto Oishi targeted Sakaguchi’s knees again knowing how much they were injured from yesterday’s match. The rest of Eruption made the save and focused their attack on Oishi in return. Saki Akai gave him the Quetzalcoatl, Okatani followed up with the Double Arm Suplex and Sakaguchi used his remaining strength to pin him with the God’s Right Knee.

The win for Eruption means another successful KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles defence and perhaps the last one in their reign. Akai thanked Takagi, Akito & Oishi for being the core of DDT. Takagi handed one of the chairs over to Akai as a gift, calling it a symbol of DDT. Akai took it and said that no matter how long you’re a part of pro wrestling you never fully understand it. Backstage Sakaguchi said this was the last time Eruption will defend the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles and they will hold onto the belts until Akai’s retirement on 12th November. Okatani said they will do the same with the AJPW TV 6-Man Tag Team Titles if they retain them in All Japan next week. Akito asked Takagi & Oishi to team up again in ten years time so they can build an even bigger castle of chairs. Oishi said they will need to add a taller member to achieve that. Takagi suggested they get either Yukio Naya or Giant Silva.

Both MAO and Kouki Iwasaki are considering a DNA reunion show next year to celebrate the project’s 10th anniversary. DNA was launched on 28th November 2014 and a lot of the wrestlers associated with the brand are still active and in touch with each other. The two of them also praised Rukiya for showing great fighting spirit lately.

The new chapter in Danshoku Dieno’s career is a worrying one for him so far. Yesterday Akito overpowered his usual Danshoku antics and put out a theory that everybody in DDT has developed an immunity to Dieno’s style of wrestling. It was put to the test today when Dieno fought Yusuke Okada, a regular opponent/victim of his. The theory proved to be correct when Okada kicked out of the Gaydo Clutch and then countered the Lip Lock into a Small Package for a clean win. Akito annoyed Dieno about it afterwards and suggested that perhaps Dieno’s kisses have lost their charm. Pheromones is finished and Yuki Iino is away moving onto his next step. Perhaps it is time for Dieno to move on from Danshoku style too…

DDT announced their return to Sapporo will be on 28th and 29th April next year at the Sapporo Sun Plaza.

Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku were rewarded with a year’s supply of Nivea Angel Skin Body Wash for winning the sponsored main event. After the match Itoh said she’s not usually that popular in places like this but she is whenever Tokyo Joshi Pro hold events in front of a women only audience. Kamifuku is also grateful for the audience because the roster get more compliments on how cute their costumes and make-up are. It gives the wrestlers a different kind of courage and enthusiasim. Shoko Nakajima & Rika Tatsumi were disappointed they couldn’t win the Nivea prize. Tatsumi said she was more fired up than usual because she was surrounded by cute girls.

Uta took Miu Watanabe’s place in show opening song performance with The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling).
