TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’24” Results

June 23, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’24”, 23/06/2024
Shizuoka Act City Hamamatsu
237 Fans

1. Mahiro Kiryu defeated Chika Nanase with the Hotei Raoyui (6:19).
2. Shoko Nakajima & Kira Summer defeated Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami when Nakajima submitted Takami with a Butterfly Lock (8:11).
3. Mizuki defeated Runa Okubo with the Face Lock (8:46).
4. Nao Kakuta defeated Shino Suzuki with the Shiden Kai (9:26).
5. Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Itoh submitted Harajuku with the Itoh Deluxe (10:05).
6. Miyu Yamashita, Moka Miyamoto & Toga defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & Kaya Toribami when Miyamoto submitted Endo with the Rashomon (13:27).
7. Miu Watanabe & Wakana Uehara defeated Rika Tatsumi & HIMAWARI when Watanabe pinned HIMAWARI with the Tear Drop (13:01).

Two regular tag teams were mixed together in the main event. Daydream were having a prelim match against each other that also had Wakana Uehara and HIMAWARI involved. Rika Tatsumi & HIMAWARI worked together to get Uehara out of the way but Miu Watanabe came in to clean house. She got rid of Tatsumi with a Power Slam and then pinned HIMAWARI with the Tear Drop. Watanabe said the match made her more excited for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’24” on 20th July. However she does not have a good read on Tatsumi yet. Tatsumi admits that Watanabe has become a real threat in the ring and today she felt the pain that she least wants to experience.

In a little bit of an upset Moka Miyamoto made Arisu Endo give up to the Rashomon in a 6-Woman Tag Match! The result came from Miyamoto countering out of Endo’s Ju no Okite finisher. Miyamoto reminded everyone afterward that she wants to fight for a championship soon. She laid out those plans after her match with Hikaru Shida earlier this month. Well based on today’s result Miyamoto now wants to challenge Daisy Monkey for the Princess Tag Team Titles. She will go look for a tag partner who can fight with the same passion she has. Both Suzume & Endo see her as an opponent they have to beat so they will accept her challenge.

Pom Harajuku brought along unagi pies as souvenirs for almost everyone in her match including the referee. She did not have any left for Yuki Kamifuku and Maki Itoh wouldn’t share any of hers. That caused Kamifuku to get upset and spend most of the match crying outside the ring while Itoh had to fight RakuPom by herself. Raku put Itoh into a Sleeper Hold, forcing a desperate Itoh to tell Kamifuku she can take her souvenir just so she will get back into the match and help her win.

Shizuoka’s own Shino Suzuki was given a special match against Nao Kakuta as part of Kakuta’s retirement road. Suzuki came close to winning with a Sleeper Hold but Kakuta was able to get a rope break and then win with the Shiden Kai. She was surprised to discover first hand just how much potential Suzuki has. It reminds her of herself when she was a rookie. Kakuta will be watching Suzuki from a distance soon and hopes she will rapidly grow in an environment as wonderful as Tokyo Joshi Pro.

Yuki Aino was pulled from the show because she was feeling unwell. That changed the card a little bit resulting in Mizuki Vs Runa Okubo and Mahiro Kiryu Vs Chika Nanase both happening.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2024 TOUR IN OSAKA” Results

June 22, 2024

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2024 TOUR IN OSAKA”, 22/06/2024
Osaka City Minato Civic Center
238 Fans – No Vacancy

1. 3 Way Match: Yuki Iino defeated Makoto Oishi and To-y when Iino pinned Oishi with a Lariat (4:44).
2. Osaka Specialty Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Tsutenkakka with the Somato (10:39).
3. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Keigo Nakamura (c) defeated Kazuma Sumi with the Diving Bedpad (8:49).
*V? for Keigo Nakamura.
4. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul defeated Jun Akiyama, Toru Owashi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when KANON submitted Matsunaga with the Cobra Twist 2.0 (9:58).
5. BURNING Vs SCHADENFREUDE International!: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada defeated Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku when Brookes pinned Masada with the Cosmic Doom (9:51).
6. Sanshiro Takagi Indefinite Rest Road ~ Special Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata defeated Sanshiro Takagi & CIMA when Hirata pinned Takagi with a School Boy (0:05).
6a. Rematch – Captain’s Fall Tag Match: CIMA (C) & Sanshiro Takagi defeated Kazuki Hirata (C) & Danshoku Dieno when CIMA (C) pinned Hirata (C) with the Somato (11:09).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: CIMA defeated Keigo Nakamura (c) with a School Boy (6:48 pm).
*CIMA becomes the 1,647th champion.
7. Special Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata defeated Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida when MAO pinned Ishida after the Our Mad Max (19:56).

The show was missing Yuki Ueno due to illness and Kazusada Higuchi due to injury so MAO took it as an opportunity to take the reigns of DDT in their absence. He and Shunma Katsumata wanted to do their best and since Ueno was missing, MAO became bold and said he will definitely beat him for the KO-D Openweight Title at Sumo Hall on 21st July! He also congratulated Yuki Ishida for moving to Osaka and is confident he will become a success here with his sumo endeavors.

The long awaited team-up of Sanshiro Takagi & CIMA lasted five seconds. In a reverse of what usually happens, Kazuki Hirata immediately rolled up Takagi for the three count. Takagi accepted defeat, leaving CIMA confused. It’s been over three years since CIMA was last in DDT and the Takagi that he knows would not take this lying down. He demanded a rematch this time under Captain’s Fall Rules. The other side agreed and the match restarted with CIMA and Hirata as the captains. Danshoku Dieno with the help of Makoto Oishi set up the Hell Gate but CIMA avoided that terrible fate. Instead Takagi gave Hirata the Stunner and stabbed Dieno with the Kancho while CIMA pinned Hirata with the Somato.

Takagi said he was happy for the chance to team with CIMA before going on his break. CIMA suggested that DDT and GLEAT do another joint show in the near future, this time in Osaka. As he went to leave the ring he noticed Keigo Nakamura was holding the ropes down for him while wearing the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. CIMA acted nice towards him but it was only so he could roll him up in the ring and win the Iron Man Title from him! Backstage Takagi warned CIMA the belt is on the line 24 hours and he won’t be able to get any sleep because of it. He was proven right because Tsutenkakka then tried to attack CIMA in a failed attempt to win the belt.

Both Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada tried hiding in the audience during Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku’s entrance but their opponents caught them anyway. Endo then insulted Masada for not having any friends but apparently he did have some in the audience.

After HARASHIMA’s match both To-y & Katsumata entered the ring. To-y told HARASHIMA that The 37KAMIINA wants a shot at the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles and Katsumata was going to be one of his partners. HARASHIMA pointed out that Smile Squash are already scheduled to defend the belts against DAMNATION T.A at Sumo Hall on 21st July. But if To-y wants the match then he will talk to Akito & Yasu Urano about it. However he noticed that To-y & Katsumata need another partner. The two muttered to each other and announced they know who the other member of their team will be. Except they refused to tell anyone who it is. Yukinori Matsui got mad at them for keeping it a secret and told them the challenge was not official yet.

Yesterday Shunma Katsumata won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Kazuma Sumi in a 5 Way Match held at a sauna that also had the DDT Extreme Title on the line. However later that night Keigo Nakamura and Daisuke Kiso snuck into a room where Katsumata was sleeping under a blanket. Nakamura told Kiso to count the blanket pinning Katsumata for a title change. He then grabbed the blanket and put it in a Sleeper Hold, telling Kiso to lift and drop it three times. The blanket didn’t respond so Kiso declared Nakamura the new champion. He now has the belt going into this weekend’s shows. Sumi will be going after him so he can win the title again.

BASARA “BASARA 251 ~UTAGE~” Results

June 21, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 251 ~UTAGE~”, 21/06/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Lil’ Kraken & Leo Isaka when Nakano pinned Isaka with the Kenkatabami (8:53).
2. FUMA, KUBITO & Daichi Kazato defeated SAGAT, Gouma Ryu & Antonio Honda by Referee Stoppage when Kazato submitted Ryu with the Trigger Point (9:01).
3. Karate Master & Minoru Fujita defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Judomaster when Karate Master pinned Judomaster with the Let’s Seikentsu Mid-level Thrust (8:05).
4. Yasu Urano defeated Isami Kodaka with the Modern Times (13:34).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Kazusada Higuchi (c) when Abe submitted Nakatsu with the Arm Hold Manjigatame (15:33).
*Harimao fails in V5. Astronauts becomes the 12th Iron Fist Tag Team Champions!

That’s all she wrote for Harimao’s run as the Iron Fist Tag Team Champions. The titles now belong to Astronauts! It happened when Fuminori Abe trapped Ryota Nakatsu in the Manjigatame while Takuya Nomura cut off Kazusada Higuchi by putting him in a similar submission hold. Abe told Nomura after the match they will go on a fierce road of title defences that only they can do. Not only are they going to liven up BASARA but the rest of the wrestling world too! They are even thinking about defending the belts overseas.

In a manner similar to Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi’s recent disappearances, Ryuichi Sekine wasn’t anywhere to be found for his match today (apparently he took a nap somewhere backstage and overslept). Luckily a replacement was found in a newcomer called Karate Master. Just like Judomaster his martial arts talents are cancelled out by his lack of pro wrestling knowledge. However he did know how to pin his opponent and did so after hitting Judomaster with a Karate style Diving Fist Drop. After the match Minoru Fujita and Takumi Tsukamoto continued to fight each other. Fujita blamed it on the karate gi he wore for the match. He claims it made him more fired up than usual so he will never wear it again.

Last month SAGAT and Gouma Ryu had a confrontation that included Ryu objecting to SAGAT making Superman references without permission to use the trademark. That must have all been solved this month because SAGAT wore his Superman inspired gear, Antonio Honda was straight up wearing a full Superman costume and Ryu revealed during the match he was also wearing a Superman costume beneath his suit. Unfortunately their superpowers werent’ strong enough and Daichi Kazato rendered Ryu unconscious by grabbing the trigger points in his shoulders.

DDT “SPA AND POOL AQUA YUKARI – SAUNA ROJO PRO WRESTLING” Results

June 21, 2024

DDT “SPA & POOL AQUA YUKARI – SAUNA ROJO PRO WRESTLING”, 21/06/2024
Chiba Aqua Yukari
91 Fans

1. DDT Extreme Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Falls Count Anywhere Survival 5 Way Match: Shunma Katsumata (E/c) defeated Yukio Naya, To-y, Ilusion and Kazuma Sumi (I/c) (55:20).
1a. Shunma Katsumata, To-y, Ilusion and Kazuma Sumi eliminated Yukio Naya by Pinfall (37:09).
1b. To-y eliminated Ilusion by Referee Stoppage (45:33).
1c. Shunma Katsumata and Kazuma Sumi eliminated To-y by Pinfall (47:27).
1d. Shunma Katsumata eliminated Kazuma Sumi with the Totonou Splash from the wall through the Table (55:20).
*V4 for Shunma Katsumata. Shunma Katsumata becomes the 1,644th Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion.

Two championships were on the line when DDT paid a visit to the Aqua Yukari spa in Chiba. The Survival 5 Way Match was originally just meant to be for the DDT Extreme Title held by Shunma Katsumata. But recently Kazuma Sumi won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title and since the match was elimination rules, somebody was going to end up as a double champion by the end of the match. Hisaya Imabayashi was there to make sure things did not get too out of control.

The spa features more than just a sauna and a swimming pool. The five wrestlers fought all over the place, taking everyone down stairways, through an arcade and past the café. There was also a karaoke booth where Sumi asked Imabayashi for money so he could sing a song or two for everyone. Sumi then wanted to take the fight over to the women’s bath area but Imabayashi told him it is out of bounds for them and they should go to the men’s bath instead.

In the men’s area Katsumata and To-y both tried to drown each other in the bath. There was a Headscissors chain formed with Yukio Naya at the end turning everyone over with a Crab Hold. He then threw everyone into the cold bath including Imabayashi and Keigo Nakamura. Then Ilusion got some payback by avoiding a Choke Slam and then sending Naya into the cold bath too.

Next place to visit was the sauna room. At this point Naya was getting tired and the increasing heat made things worse. He rushed out of the room and collapsed to the ground. Sumi covered him but he kicked out. Then everyone piled on top of Naya for the pin and he became the first elimination of the match. The remaining wrestlers went to sit outside but almost all got counted out because they were so relaxed it was like being knocked out.

Over at the pool the wrestlers started doing some high risk dives into the water. However To-y got a hold of him and submerged him under water. After a few moments To-y reemerged holding up Ilusion’s mask in the style of Robin Mask Vs Atlantis! Only Daisuke Kiso could see what happened to Ilusion beneath the water. He declared Ilusion was unable to continue so he was eliminated from the match!

To-y then found a giant plastic balloon to trap Katsumata and Sumi in. Once they were stuck inside, To-y got a hose and tried to fill it with water. However the other two overpowered him and rolled the balloon on top of To-y to pin him for the next elimination.

The final two wrestlers went back outside to finish the match. They attacked each other with chairs ending with Katsumata getting the upper hand. He put Sumi onto a table and then climbed a ladder next to it. Using the Totonou Splash, Katsumata put Sumi through the table and got the three count. He not only successfully defended the Extreme Title but won the Iron Man Title too!

Sadly however that reign did not last the night. Sometime after the match ended Katsumata found a place to sleep underneath a blanket. Nakamura and Kiso entered the room and Nakamura had a plan. He told Kiso to count the blanket pinning Katsumata because Katsumata was lying flat on his back. Kiso did so, making the Blanket the new Iron Man Champion! Nakamura then grabbed the blanket and put it in a Sleeper Hold. Kiso lifted up the other end of the blanket and dropped it three times. It didn’t respond so Kiso declared Nakamura knocked it out to win the championship!

Chiba Aqua Yukari

1. DDT Extreme Title – Falls Count Anywhere Survival 5 Way Match: Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Yukio Naya Vs To-y Vs Ilusion Vs Kazuma Sumi

News about this show went haywire during the week. First it was announced that Antonio Honda would face The Invisible Man in a singles match. Then a few days later The Invisible Man pulled out of the booking due to what was only described as “various circumstances” by DDT. A replacement was found though and Honda has a new opponent. It is Invisible Leonardo DiCaprio! It is a matchup so big that Honda asked DDT to make it a No DQ I Quit match! It will only end when either Honda or DiCaprio says “I Quit” into a microphone.

3. Sanshiro Takagi Indefinite Rest Road ~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Yoshiaki Yatsu & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan Vs Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku

In the same month when the Olympics begins, DDT is heading over to Odawara to meet up with Yoshiaki Yatsu again. Kuroshio TOKYO Japan will be there as well to create the weird trio of Sanshiro Takagi, Yatsu & Kuroshio.

This show will not be the first time Kazuki Hirata and Aja Kong will be fighting each other in a singles match. Back in 2016 Hirata won a Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract except the prize was to go on a date with Kong whenever he wanted. He had no choice but to cash in the prize and go on the date where they actually came close to hitting it off. However Hirata got cold feet and left Kong feeling rejected. Kong got her revenge by crashing the next DDT show afterwards and beating Hirata in an impromptu match. I should know. I was there (at the show, not the date)! Have broken hearts been healed over 8 years later?

Odawara’s local mascto Umemaru will make its pro wrestling debut. As usual when this kind of thing happens in DDT, Pokotan will be in the match too so it can show its mascot superiority in the ring.

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING”, 21/09/2024
Naraha Town, Fukushima

DDT is teaming up with To-y’s home of Naraha Town in Fukushima for the area’s migration campaign. The town was evacuated after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake until 2015 when town recovery efforts went into effect. DDT is getting involved with this year’s project by having one of their wrestlers become an ambassador for the area. To-y has been in the role before but now Shunma Katsumata is taking over to help promote the town. However the town’s mascot Yuzutaro objected to the idea because it claims To-y recently ate and drank too much of the local delicacies without paying for it. According to Yuzutaro, the damage to the town’s reputation caused by this will cost To-y one trillion yen! If To-y is unable to pay it back then Yuzutaro suggested he work jobs in Naraha until the debt is repaid. Katsumata thought that was a fair idea and offered to give up his role so To-y can be the ambassador again for a second year in a row. To-y had no choice but to accept the arrangement, although he has to be recognized as an unofficial ambassador due to the circumstances. One of the events DDT will do to promote the town is hold a Falls Count Anywhere match somewhere in the town this September.

DDT At NOAH Limit Break 3 Results

June 19, 2024

NOAH “THE LEAVE PRESENTS LIMIT BREAK. 3 GO! ~GO SHIOZAKI 20TH ANNIVERSARY TOURNAMENT~”, 19/06/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,220 Fans

4. Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku defeated Atsushi Kotoge, Black Menso-re & Yuto Kikuchi when Endo pinned Menso-re with the Swivel Torture Rack Bomb (11:49).
5. Beast Vs Harimao: Kazuyuki Fujita defeated Kazusada Higuchi with the Kick To The Face (9:13).
7. Go Shiozaki 20th Anniversary Match -DEPARTURE 2024-: Go Shiozaki & Jun Akiyama Vs Naomichi Marufuji & Takashi Sugiura ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).

Some of the DDT related storylines over at the NOAH “LIMIT BREAK” shows came to an end today while one in particular is continuing on up until DDT’s next Sumo Hall show. The main event was Go Shiozaki’s 20th anniversary match and he picked Jun Akiyama as one of the other particpants. Akiyama was in Shiozaki’s debut match and the two have been an integral part of each other’s careers since then. Together they faced Naomichi Marufuji & Takashi Sugiura while special guest Kenta Kobashi watched from the commentary booth. The match lasted the entire thirty minute time limit without a winner. Akiyama said he was glad to be invited to Shiozaki’s big day and he’ll see him again somewhere down the line.

The battle between two hard headed brutes from NOAH and DDT was built up on previous Limit Break shows. Today Kazusada Higuchi finally got to fight Kazuyuki Fujita one on one. When the dust settled it was Fujita who hit harder. He countered the Buchikamashi sumo charge with a Lariat and then kicked Higuchi in the face twice for the pinfall. Fujita said the match was not about winning or losing. It was about himself and Higuchi hitting each other with all of their might. Higuchi admitted he was completely defeated today. He will have to start from scratch build himself back up from here.

Shiozaki will be teaming with Atsushi Kotoge at DDT’s Sumo Hall show next month to challenge BURNING for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. On today’s show Kotoge got a preview of what to expect from the champions in the form of a 6-Man Tag Match against them. He & Yuto Kikuchi had Tetsuya Endo on the ropes and left it up to Black Menso-re to finish him off. Endo turned the tables using the Tetsuya In The Sky and pinned Menso-re with the Torture Rack Bomb. Endo asked Kotoge if this match has fired him up. It might not matter because Endo thinks at this rate the title match has already been decided. He likes Kikuchi though and wouldn’t mind coming over to Dotonbori Pro sometime to wrestle him again. Yuki Iino swears Shiozaki’s Chops won’t hurt him when they fight each other again. Yuya Koroku was happy to be booked on the show and would like to take part in more Limit Break events in the future.

Tokyo Joshi Pro “WANG MANIA” Results

June 17, 2024

“WANG MANIA”, 17/06/2024
Shibuya duo MUSIC EXCHANGE
??? Fans

1. Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Mizuki & Nao Kakuta defeated Miyu Yamashita & Yuki Kamifuku when Mizuki pinned Yamashita with the Cutie Special (?:??).

This is a bizarre turn of events. Fashion designer Alexander Wang held an event in Shibuya tonight featuring a whole lot of rappers, models, influencers, dancers and also a wrestling match provided by Tokyo Joshi Pro. It turns out Wang is a TJPW fan and he’s been wanting to work something with them for a while. He got TJPW to put together a match between Mizuki & Nao Kakuta against Miyu Yamashita & Yuki Kamifuku for the show. The match had been advertised in the event’s marketing materials for at least a week but I only found out about it a few hours ago when video clips appeared online of Kanye West performing one of his songs in the ring with Ty Dolla $ign. In a world that’s only getting crazier you can add “Ye watches TJPW” to the list.

As for the match itself I was able to find clips of what happened from the Instagram account dutchsix and the picture I used above is taken from Kamifuku’s Instagram. The women wrestled in black and white outfits instead of their usual costumes. Sayuri Namba was also in attendance to do her usual ring announcing duties. The match finish saw Mizuki give Yamashita the Whirling Candy followed by the Cutie Special for the three count. This isn’t the first time joshi wrestling has crossed paths with the fashion world. Over in America there is Sukeban that has recently become the leading example of Japanese women’s wrestling becoming avant-garde stateside. Judging by the clips Wang seemed to be thrilled with how the match turned out so maybe something more can happen in the future (or maybe not because apparently the guy is sketchy as hell).
