Golden Week ends with Tokyo Joshi Pro resisting the SEA Storm. Kyoraku Kyomei were excited to have challengers from outside of Japan coming to fight them for the Princess Tag Team Titles. They didn’t expect Matcha & Alexis Lee to know their tricks because they jumped the champs before the champs could get the jump on them. After a quick brawl around the ring the challengers focused on Shoko Nakajima. Lee kept finding spots to bite her while Matcha German Suplexed Hyper Misao away. The two were close to victory after they gave Nakajima a Double Superplex but Misao came to the rescue hitting her signature moves to the two of them. Matcha was then taken out by Nakajima’s Topé Suicida while Misao gave Lee the Hypermi Returns. With the coast clear, Nakajima finished Lee off with the Diving Senton for a successful title defence.
Nakajima said she wants to fight them again and again because she wants to bring the tag titles to Thailand and Singapore along with the rest of the world. Misao repeated their team’s goal as champions is to experience different wrestling styles from different countries to improve themselves even more. It might be early to set up another title defence but if there is any team around the world who think they can beat Kyoraku Kyomei then Misao wants them to come over and challenge them. Matcha said every blow she took from the champions was tough but she is grateful they fought her with all of their might. Lee said the match is a big step for pro wrestling in Singapore. From now on she wants to make history and next time she and Matcha get a shot at the titles they will bring them back to their home countries.
A special 3 Way match was put together for Yuki Arai because she has never taken part in such a match before. Her two opponents were the other two Yuki’s on the TJPW roster! So when the match began everyone got “Yuki” chants, even the referee Yukinori Matsui. Arai turned down offers from both Yuki Kamifuku and Yuki Aino to team up so the two of them attacked Arai together instead. The match eventually went back to being every Yuki for herself. Aino got the better of Arai with the Bulldog Headlock but when she was getting ready to do the Venus DDT, Kamifuku jumped in and gave Aino the Reverse Famouser to steal the win. The three of them embraced after the match and all left together as Yuki Yuki Yuki. Backstage Yuki said Yuki will win next time. Yuki thought Yuki did good while Yuki thought Yuki did really good. They also all agreed that they like Yuki more than mint chocolate.
Raku still has the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title to sleep tight with tonight after she defeated Nor ‘Phoenix’ Diana in her first defence. The match began with Raku handing Diana an eye mask to help her sleep but it was just a trick to roll her up for a nearfall. Diana took control with fast paced moves including a Topé Suicida outside the ring. She then used a Shoulder Lock submission in an attempt to wear Raku down but it didn’t work. Raku fought back with Dropkicks and Poppo Chops until she got the Doctor Yellow on her opponent to get the victory. Raku said it was great to fight Diana and fell something in common with her so she has a new dream to wrestle Diana in Malaysia next time and defend her title around Asia. Diana said this will not be the last time she will be in TJPW. The Phoenix will rise again!
Takoyaki defeats Kushikatsu in the TJPW RUSH! Match! With only a 5 minute time limit in every match and 2 Count Pins needed to win everyone had to be quick to win but careful not to drop a fall. Rika Tatsumi got things off to a good start for Team Kushikatsu when she countered Uta Takami’s Koala Clutch into a Dragon Backbreaker for the first elimination. Suzume came out next and fought Tatsumi to a time limit draw which meant 1 Count Pinfalls were now in effect for overtime. Suzume tried to cradle Tatsumi but it was countered for the one count giving Tatsumi her second elimination. Arisu Endo was the one to take out Tatsumi who was too tired to make it three for three. She tricked Endo into giving her a one minute break to catch her breath only to ambush her with a Hip Attack. Endo got mad at being tricked and fought back, ultimately pinning Tatsumi with the Waterwheel Drop. Pom Harajuku wanted to sing with Endo because today is Children’s Day and they are all children. Again it was a trick to make Endo drop her guard. Endo fought back with a Neckbreaker but Harajuku reversed the pin to get the 2 Count on Endo. Next up, Harajuku and HIMAWARI fought each other using toy flags and HIMAWARI’s hair. HIMAWARI blew the flag away, dodged the Pom de Justice and pinned Harajuku with a Roll Up. She took things more seriously once Haru Kazashiro showed up. They went back and forth until the 5 minutes ran out. In overtime Kazashiro escaped from the Crab Hold and Cradled HIMAWARI for the One Count needed to eliminate her. At this point Miu Watanabe was the last one left on Team Kushikatsu and she had three opponents to beat in order to win. She eliminated Kazashiro with a Power Slam and kept Giant Swinging Shino Suzuki around and around until Suzuki gave up. That brought the match down to a final battle between Mizuki and Watanabe. Mizuki was also given a spin around in the Giant Swing but she fought back and held on until they reached the time limit. With a One Count Pinfall now needed to win the two were hesitant to make any mistakes. Mizuki ended up getting the better of Watanabe and hit the Whirling Candy out of nowhere to get the win. Team Takoyaki were rewarded with a grand prize of various Osaka desserts.
A brand new referee name Fumirin will make her debut on 11th May. She said that being a pro wrestling referee has been her dream since she was a child. She also has a background in Rakugo storytelling.
The next time TJPW will be in Osaka is on 17th August for the semi finals of the Tokyo Princess Cup.
1. Hideki Okatani defeted Kazuma Sumi with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (6:43).
2. 3 Way Match: Toru Owashi defeated Danshoku Dieno and Yuni when Owashi pinned Yuni with La Magistral Cradle (7:45).
3. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated Makoto Oishi, Akito & Yukio Naya when Sasaki submitted Oishi with the Crossface Lock (10:36).
4. Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Yuya Koroku defeated Jun Akiyama & Kazuki Hirata when Higuchi submitted Hirata with the Claw (10:41).
5. SCHADENFREUDE International Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada when Ueno pinned Honda with a Japanese Leg Roll Clutch (14:41).
6. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated HARASHIMA & Daichi Sato when MAO pinned Sato after the Alien Love Call (14:27).
The King Of DDT 2025 is beginning in two days time so this show was the last chance for everyone to get ready for the tournament. KANON felt the need to act as a shield for MAO against the barrage of kicks from HARASHIMA & Daichi Sato. Once he collapsed he was filled with regret he wasn’t able to protect MAO more. But Strange Love Connection rebounded and used their new tag finisher called the Alien Love Call to win. The move is KANON’s Modified Facebuster but with MAO joining in to add more rotation to the victim taking it. After the match MAO told the Miyagi fans he will be back as soon as next week because the Best Of The Super Jr. tour will be stopping by and he’ll be competing on it. He wants DDT fans to come see the show to make his match more of a rivalry against New Japan.
Tension is building up between Yuki Ueno and Antonio Honda for their 1st Round match. During their faceoff in Match #5 Honda gave Ueno the Tenzan Tombstone Driver and tried to pin him with the Japanese Leg Roll Clutch. However Ueno reversed the move and used it to pin Honda instead. Earlier in the match SCHADENFREUDE International brought in a kid from the crowd to take part in their tower spot on To-y. The other members of The 37KAMIINA felt the need to join in too.
For the second day in a row the Strange Love Connection interrupted NωA Jr.’s opening performance and took it over so KIMIHIRO could rap for the audience.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GOLDEN WEEK FAN APPRECIATION DAY 「EAST」”, 03/05/2025 Saitama Kasukabe Fureai Cube 374 Fans – Super No Vacancy

5. Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Raku defeated Yuna Manase, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko when Misao pinned Neko with the Hypami Returns (11:39).
6. VPW Women’s Title: Viva Van defeated Yuki Kamifuku (c) with the Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex (7:15) *Yuki Kamifuku fails in V4. Viva Van becomes the 2nd VPW Women’s Champion!
7. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) defeated HIMAWARI with the Ring A Bell (15:16). *V4 for Suzume.
Suzume is quickly catching up to the International Princess Title defence record. Today’s win over HIMAWARI is her fourth defence since becoming champion at the start of the year. She avoided HIMAWARI’s new finishing move the Sunflower Tempest and used the corner to get her opponent with a Facecrusher and then the Ring A Bell to win. HIMAWARI said she is frustrated to lose after winning the No. 1 Contendership because she gave it her all and couldn’t beat Suzume. But she thinks the experience will help her take a step forward on an emotional level. She’ll train more so next time she challenges for a title she will win it!
In the ring Suzume praised HIMAWARI for establishing her own unique style from the beginning and having everything that Suzume does not have. As IP Champion Suzume wants to make Tokyo Joshi Pro known to the world just like her seniors who paved the way for her. Yoshiko Hasegawa then entered the ring. Back when she announced her plans to retire in March she said she wanted to challenge Suzume for the IP Title. Her idea received some criticism at the time which made her reconsider. But with only a short time of her wrestling career left, Hasegawa decided to be selfish and make the challenge. She asked the fans to call her name if they will support her challenge and they did. Suzume said she would have accepted the challenge no matter what others think and she will do her best to beat her.
There is a new VPW Women’s Champion after Viva Van defeated Yuki Kamifuku. It’s been a while since the two were together and Kamifuku couldn’t help but exclaim how much Van’s strikes hurt her. Kamifuku found her rhythm and got a nearfall from doing a Superplex followed by a Reverse Famouser. But Van ended up countering the regular Famouser and dropped Kamifuku with the Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex for the three count. Van said she’s been fighting all her life and didn’t come back to TJPW just to be someone else’s shadow. She won this championship for Vietnam and has become the first Vietnamese wrestler to win a title in Japan. Kamifuku said it is great to see an Asian girl like Van working hard so even though she isn’t happy she lost, she feels relieved to see the belt is now in Van’s care. It’s the end of the Asian Double Crown but Kamifuku still holds the Queen Of Asia Title. She hopes she is the catalyst of TJPW bringing in wrestlers from across the Southeast Asian region more often.
Kyoraku Kyomei have an important Princess Tag Team Titles defence coming up so they realized the best way to conserve their energy is to sleep more often. They got Raku to bring a blanket to the ring for the three of them to sleep under in the ring but it was all a trap so they could use it as a weapon on Yuna Manase. But Manase used her power to break free and Mahiro Kiryu had to apologise on their behalf for bringing the blanket into the ring. Manase helped Haruna Neko to Power Bomb Hyper Misao but Shoko Nakajima broke the pin. Raku got Manase & Kiryu out of the ring so Nakajima could dive onto them. That left Misao to pin Neko with the Hypami Returns.
After the match the SEA trio of Matcha, Alexis Lee & Nor ‘Phoenix’ Diana entered the ring to stand in front of their champion opponents. Matcha & Lee got into a little fight with Kyoraku Kyomei. Meanwhile Raku wanted to shake Diana’s hand and make a Good Night pose together but Diana turned her down. Nakajima said a successful defence against Matcha & Lee will be used as a stepping stone for Kyoraku Kyomei to defend their titles abroad even more. She wants to show the challengers she is the Big Kaiju while Misao will prove to them that she is a hero! Raku heard that Malaysians sleep a little longer than Japanese people but she wonders if Diana hasn’t been able to sleep because she is too excited to be in Japan? If that’s the case then Raku wants to have lots of sweet dreams with her.
The SEA wrestlers had a good start in the ring by winning their first match of the long weekend. Matcha used a Saito Suplex on Mizuki, Lee threw Arisu Endo aside with a German Suplex and Diana pinned Pom Harajuku with a Modified Neckbreaker called the DN. Diana said she is happy to debut in TJPW because Japan is the leading pro wrestling country in Asia. Lee thinks the three of them make a good team together. Matcha wants to keep the momentum going so all three of them can head home each carrying a championship belt.
The trainee Konatsu will make her debut on 1st June. She was originally introduced to fans back in October 2024. Since she is from Hamamatsu City in Shizuoka her debut match will be at the nearby Chunichi Hall in Nagoya on 1st June. She told the fans she will do her best for the once in a lifetime debut match close to her hometown.
The next “TJPW INSPIRATION” show will be held on 28th June at TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi. It will be TJPW’s first show at the new venue. The first match announced is Tae Honma & Miyuki Takase Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami.

5. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Soma Takao & Yukio Naya when KANON pinned Takao with the Modified Facebuster (12:47).
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion (c) defeated Shunma Katsumata, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi when Okatani pinne Katsumata with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (16:36). *V1 for DAMNATION T.A.
Today didn’t turn out well for NωA Jr. Their opening show performance was interrupted by Strange Love Connection so KIMIHIRO could take it over and perform a rap for his team. Then in the main event NωA Jr. lost their rematch against DAMNATION T.A and failed to regain the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. The finish came when Hideki Okatani hit Shunma Katsumata with the Skewered Claymore and then pinned him with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Both Yuni & Kazuma Sumi aren’t going to let the result get them down. Sumi said NωA Jr.’s motto is “turn negativity into positivity. Yuni agrees and promised they will remain cheerful, energetic and positive as they work towards their concert in December.
After the match Yuki Ueno & To-y entered the ring to pick up Katsumata. The three of them then challenged DAMNATION T.A for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles as The 37KAMIINA. First, Daisuke Sasaki refused so To-y tried to convince Ilusion. When Ilusion also refused Ueno started arguing with him and the two brought up that Ueno was Ilusion’s coach back when DDTeeeen!! was around. Humbled by the confrontation, Ilusion accepted the challenge and accused Ueno of abandoning the DDTeeeen!! wrestlers. Ueno said if Ilusion gets too cocky again he will make him pay the penalty.

With the King Of DDT about to begin next week a press conference was held at Kanda Myojin Cultural Center yesterday featuring all 16 participants giving their opinions on their opening round matches. Yuki Ueno said his plan is to win the tournament and become KO-D Openweight Champion again. DDT will become a wild and fun place to be with himself at the centre. Antonio Honda is entering as the replacement for Masahiro Takanashi so he was at a loss for words at first. He will be getting into the ring with something big on his mind and will fight with all of the gratitude, respect and prayer for the people who have helped him.
Akito is entering the tournament for the first time since 2021. He explained he missed out on the last couple of tournaments not because his behind the scenes job became bigger but because DDT’s roster has grown so much that he just couldn’t make the cut. He thinks this may be his last chance to win King Of DDT which could then become his last chance to win the KO-D Title. A drunk Daisuke Sasaki changed the subject by saying when people think of him against Akito, they think Hair Vs Hair! Sasaki suggested he gets to shave every person he beats bald until he wins the tournament. Akito declined. If it was every single match in the tournament he would let the idea happen but just doing it for Sasaki Vs Akito isn’t worth the bother. Honda said he is already bald so the rule doesn’t worry him if he has to fight Sasaki in Round 2.
It’s also been a while since Shunma Katsumata took part in King Of DDT. He remembers how important the first round is so if he can get past it he knows he will win the whole thing. He has lots of friends taking part too so if they all advance to the later rounds together they can all win it too. KANON doesn’t understand Katsumata’s point but said this tournament will be meaningful for him now that he has fully joined up with DDT. He will be part of this while MAO is competing in the Best Of The Super Jr. He will aim to win and stand next to MAO as somebody worthy to team with him.
Young Daichi Sato has loudly declared his goal is to win the KO-D Title while he is still in his second year of high school. Winning the King Of DDT will be his quickest way to achieve that goal. Yukio Naya has said 2025 is going to be make or break for him. He hasn’t accomplised anyhing yet this year which means the timing is right for him to win the tournament and become KO-D Champion. Sato’s chances of making his dream come true are going to be low as long as Naya is still here!
When it was Hideki Okatani’s turn to speak he kept silent for a long time. When he finally did say something it was just “I’ll do my best.” To-y has had many singles matches with Okatani but never won any of them. When Okatani was injured To-y waited for him to come back so to hear him just say he’ll do his best leaves To-y feeling disappointed. He’ll just have to beat him and then in the next round face an opponent who will actually be hyped up to fight him. Somebody like Chris Brookes or one of his friends in The 37KAMIINA. That prompted Brookes to say something but all he put out was he will win as the KO-D Champion and nominate his next challenger afterwards.
HARASHIMA was uncharacteristically angry at To-y’s comments because it means To-y assumes Brookes will beat HARASHIMA in Round 1. So now HARASHIMA wants himself and To-y to win their matches so HARASHIMA can beat up To-y in Round 2! Brookes calmed things down by reminding everyone that HARASHIMA is the strongest wrestler in DDT so Brookes will have to be at his best against him. He then noticed the fancy looking suit that To-y was wearing and asked him how much it cost? To-y said he spent 70,000 yen on it. Brookes then asked how did he get the money to pay for it because he remembers the lines in Sapporo for To-y’s autograph were really short. To-y said he has a credit card and buy anything with it. The suit was already bought in advance so if To-y wins the tournament then he clear the debt off his card!
The D GENERATIONS CUP match between Takeshi Masada and Yuya Koroku hasn’t escaped either of their minds. Koroku’s dream now is to fight for the KO-D Title again and this time win it. He remembers his win over Masada in the DGC 1st Round was a close one so this time he is going to face him with all of his might. Masada has been eliminated from Round 1 two tournaments in a row now so Koroku doesn’t understand his feelings. This match will be the most Masada has ever committed to win just so he can reach Round 2.
It’s been a month since Kazusada Higuchi has returned from injury and he feels he’s been rebuilding his skills one step at a time. He will concentrate on each and every match in front of him, the first being against Shinya Aoki. It doesn’t matter to Aoki if this is a tournament match or not. He is just excited he gets to fight Higuchi one on one and wants to beat him by submission if it’s possible.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YOSHIKO HASEGAWA GRADUATION EVENT – NONFICTION”, 08/07/2025 Shinjuku FACE
1. Yoshiko Hasegawa Graduation Match: Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs X
It will be here before we know it. Yoshiko Hasegawa’s graduation from Tokyo Joshi Pro and retirement from pro wrestling will happen on 8th July.
DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025 – DAY 1”, 30/08/2025 Tokyo Higashin Arena Main Arena
1. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs X
The plan is to have two KO-D Openweight Title matches happen at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025”. One for both days. Seems obvious that the King Of DDT winner gets one of the title shots.
DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025 – DAY 2”, 31/08/2025 Tokyo Korakuen Hall
Today it’s been announced that KANON has joined DDT full time. He was previously wrestling for the company as a freelancer ever since he left JTO in March 2022. He has promised to use all of his strength to do his best as a member of DDT without bringing shame to the company. His goal just as it was when he first showed up is to reach the top of DDT and he claims he will leave his mark on the King Of DDT tournament.
What a month. Felt like the moment WrestleMania Week ended the wrestling world just kept going. Konosuke Takeshita was involved with the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament in AEW and when that came to an end he very quickly established a new tag team with Josh Alexander. Then in Japan some DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro wrestlers took part in Deadlock Pro’s weekend in the country’s capital. There was also some lucha libre action happening in Tokyo a few days later. Back in America Maki Itoh got her face painted again in a very nice and very evil manner. Then the very busy month came to an end with Miyu Yamashita stepping foot back inside AEW after a two or three year absence.
Yamashita is going to have a packed schedule in May. Itoh has a few things coming up but she will be back in TJPW in the middle of the month. Yamashita though has plenty on her plate and the AEW appearance came about at a good time to replenish some interest in her. What’s included below is not the complete schedule she posted on her Twitter account. There are plenty more dates coming up over the next few months but some haven’t been announced by the promotions yet so I left them out just to save some space. Our old pal Yuka Sakazaki got her first booking on the indies in quite a while too. Another thing to keep an eye on is just where will Keigo Nakamura land for his indefinite overseas excursion. Apparently wherever he’s going he is has gone travelling over there already. If he is indeed still going to wrestle I’ll do my best to keep track of it in these articles.

Results
AEW “DYNAMITE – SPRING BREAKTHRU”, 16/04/2025 MGM Music Hall At Fenway, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
1. Owen Hart Foundation 2025 Men’s Tournament – Semi Final: Will Ospreay defeated Konosuke Takeshita with the Stormbreaker (21:43).
A highly anticipated rematch in the Owen Hart Cup saw Takeshita clash with Will Ospreay once again. Ospreay looked to have had Takeshita’s number until Takeshita purposely collapsed to avoid taking the Hidden Blade. Takeshita even caught Ospreay in mid-air with an Elbow Strike only for Ospreay to kick out at one and hit the Hidden Blade from out of nowhere. Takeshita kicked out at one as well leading to a role reversal where Ospreay used the Bastard Driver into the German Suplex and Takeshita responded with a Hidden Blade of his own. More counters came with Ospreay turning the Raging Fire into a Hurricanrana that then switched into the Styles Clash. Takeshita countered another Hidden Blade with a Backslide into a Powerdrive Knee but Ospreay flipped over a Lariat and lifted Takeshita into the Stormbreaker, winning a hard fought match that booked his spot in the final.
AEW “COLLISION – SPRING BREAKTHRU”, 17/04/2025 MGM Music Hall At Fenway, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
1. Josh Alexander & Konosuke Takeshita defeated Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii when Alexander pinned Ishii with a Power Bomb (10:18).
There wasn’t much time for Takeshita to lick his wounds but The Don Callis Family are already regrouping with a new addition to the unit. AEW’s newest signing Josh Alexander has taken on Don Callis’s management services and made to team with Takeshita. They won their first match as a tag team but one of the reasons it happened was because Rocky Romero ended up abandoning Tomohiro Ishii and left him to the wolves. Alexander & Takeshita rocked Ishii with a Double Roaring Elbow then Alexander finished him off with a Power Bomb. There was then more drama when Trent Beretta made his return after the match and attacked Ishii with Romero. Callis gave a wrench to Beretta and he used it to knock Ishii out.
AEW “DYNAMITE”, 23/04/2025 Lakefront Arena, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
1. Josh Alexander & Konosuke Takeshita defeated Will Ospreay & Brody King when Alexander pinned King after the Assisted C4 Spike (13:08).
Winning ways continued for The Don Callis Family when they took on Takeshita’s two opponents from the Owen Hart Cup. It was a heck of a task getting there though. Brody King ran through them like a tank while Ospreay and Takeshita had unfinished business from their match last week. The Family needed Lance Archer to distract the ref in order to turn the tables. Even then it took a lot fo Alexander & Takeshita to put King away. It eventually took Takeshita helping Alexander lift King up for the C4 Spike to finally put the big boy away.
DPW “SPIRIT RISING – NIGHT 1”, 24/04/2025 Shinjuku FACE
1. Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA Vs LaBron Kozone & Calvin Tankman ended in a Draw (?:??).
2. DPW Women’s World Title: Dani Luna (c) defeated Rika Tatsumi (?:??). *V3 for Dani Luna.
I couldn’t get any proper results from DPW’s two shows in Japan since they’re usually pretty good at keeping things under wraps until the matches get uploaded to their streaming service. But some scraping through Twitter I was able to piece together some things. Rika Tatsumi failed in her bid to win the DPW Women’s Title from Dani Luna. Also the DPW Vs DDT match went to a draw, I assume of the time limit kind. One of the big spots was HARASHIMA going to do the Somato on LaBron Kozone only to get ran over in midair with the Pounce from Calvin Tankman.
DPW “SPIRIT RISING – NIGHT 2”, 25/04/2025 Shin-Kiba 1st RING
1. Calvin Tankman & Kazuma Sumi defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida (?:??).
2. Emi Sakura, Chris Brookes, Mei Suruga & Baliyan Akki defeated Miyuki Takase, Kevin Ku, Dominic Garrini & Ryo Mizunami (?:??).
On Night 2 Chris Brookes was part of a ChocoPro team against a USA/Japan alliance representing DPW. Meanwhile Tankman got thrown in with some DDT wrestlers for a tag match between two pairs of big man and little man. Tankman is remaining in Japan for a ZERO1 tour but who knows, maybe DDT will come calling while he’s there.
HOG “ISOLATION”, 25/04/2025 NYC Arena, New York City, New York, USA
1. HOG Heavyweight Title: Mike Santana (c) Vs Konosuke Takeshita ended in a No Contest when Charles Mason interfered (15:57). *V14 for Mike Santana.
Well that kind of felt like a waste of time. The HOG Heavyweight Title was on the line and neither Mike Santana nor Takeshita were in a position to take a loss. So Charles Mason came out and ruined the whole thing. Santana had Takeshita pinned with the Spin The Block Roaring Lariat but Santana pulled the ref out of the ring mid-count and attacked Santana to stop the match. Takeshita tried to come to the rescue but Mason fled the ring unharmed. Santana and Takeshita raised each other’s hands to everyone afterward.
BLACK LABEL PRO “BLP AT SCX III”, 25/04/2025 The Wyndham, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA
1. Miyu Yamashita defeated Leyla Hirsch with the Skull Kick (?:??).
2. Danhausen & Maki Itoh defeated Davey Bang & August Matthews when Danhausen pinned Matthews and Itoh pinned Bang with the Double Kokeshi (?:??).
The latest American tours for Itoh & Yamashita kicked off over in Black Label Pro. Itoh joined forces with Danhausen once again to reunite Very Cute, Very Evil Makihausen. Itoh had the face fully painted to match her tag partner and be battle ready to go against Bang And Matthews. Itoh was in grave danger when Davey Bang & August Matthews combined to hit the Spears Tower on her but Danhausen broke the pin. When they tried the same move on Danhausen he paused them with a Curse that resulted in Itoh tripping them over. The two then filled their opponents’ mouths with jars of teeth before kicking them in their faces. Itoh & Danhausen then finished them off with Stereo Kokeshi Headbutts.
This month saw Leyla Hirsch return to action, now as a freelancer. Yamashita got to be one her of first opponents back and didn’t show much ring rust with her performance. She tried wearing down Yamashita with an Ankle Lock but Yamashita fired back with strikes that took a lot out of her opponent. Hirsch then missed a Moonsault and charged right into the Skull Kick for the finish.
1. Mexican Tourist Belt – The Road To Studying In Mexico 6 Way Match: Yuki Mashiro defeated Honoka, YuuRI, SONYA, CoCo and Yoshiko Hasegawa when Mashiro pinned Hasegawa with a Modified Suplex Hold (?:??). Order Of Elimination: SONYA, CoCo, Honoka, YuuRI, Yoshiko Hasegawa.
2. Octagon & El Hijo del Octagon Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Pantera Jr. ended in a Draw when El Hijo del Octagon and Pantera Jr. pinned each other from a Romero Special (?:??).
The warm vibes of lucha libre were in the air surrounding Sumo Hall for a sponsored show put together by the Mexico Kanko tourism company. Daisuke Sasaki was thrown in with some luchadors for a tag match. Naturally Sasaki was on the rudo side teaming with Pantera Jr. to take on the supposedly family pair of Octagon & El Hijo del Octagon. Sasaki stepped in to stop Octagon from doing dive from the top turnbuckle. But the match ended up going to a draw when Pantera put El Hijo del Octagon in the Romero Special. The move leaned both luchadors back onto their shoulders resulting in a double pinfall. After some arguing over the finish, all four wrestlers raised each others hands in the ring.
A sixth woman was added to the Mexican Tourist Belt match. Yoshiko Hasegawa may be retiring from wrestling soon but she didn’t want to miss a chance to win a holiday to Mexico! She came close to winning too, eliminating YuuRI and making it to the final two with Yuki Mashiro. She tried to win using the Fisherman Buster but Mashiro got the better of her and won the match with a Modified Suplex.
AEW “DYNAMITE”, 30/04/2025 Chartway Arena, Norfolk, Virginia, USA
1. AEW Women’s World Title Eliminator Match: Toni Storm (w/ Luther) Vs Miyu Yamashita
Right at the end of the month Yamashita wound up in a familiar place. She came back to AEW for the first time since 2022 (or maybe 2023 if you want to count ROH). She was here to repeat what she did back then and that was to fight the AEW Women’s World Champion and beat her to get a title shot. We’re far past the days of Thunder Rosa though. It’s Toni Storm’s time now, which also happens to rewind the clock back one century thanks to her Timeless gimmick. Yamashita got into the swing of things by literally kicking Storm’s ass around the ring as well as kicking away the loyal butler Luther. She also hit the Skull Kick but was too fatigued to make the pin in time. I couldn’t tell if she broke the pin herself or if Storm kicked out of it because both looked like they happened at the same time. Storm made a comeback and avoided the Crash Rabbit Heat to throw Yamashita over to the corner with a German Suplex. She then landed the Running Hip Attack and pinned Yamashita with the Storm Zero. The booking sounds like it was a one time thing for Yamashita during this latest stay in the States. But she promised if she ever comes back to AEW she will kick someone else’s head in!

Slamovich just recently pinned Yamashita at the “DDT VS TJPW VS GCW” show which seems to be what set this title match up.

HOG “WAGING WAR”, 09/05/2025 Logan Square Auditorium, Chicago, Illinois, USA
1. Indi Hartwell Vs Miyu Yamashita

She is also finally going to face Session Moth Martina after their scheduled match in EVE back in March got cancelled. One week later Martina got to team with Italian wrestler Irene at the most recent SAJ Wrestling show. I haven’t seen it so I don’t know if anything happened as a reason to make them opponents here or if this is just three wrestlers who want to have some fun in the ring.

If all goes wrong for Kamifuku in May she could end up losing both the VPW Women’s Title and the Queen Of Asia Title!

1. Yuka Sakazaki Vs X
Finally Sakazaki gets to wrestle somewhere again! I don’t know if her lack of ring time lately is AEW/ROH not wanting to book her or if there’s an undisclosed injury of some sort holding her back but she’s making a reappearance on the American indies with New Texas Pro as her first stop.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN DALLAS”, 13/07/2025 The OC, Forney, Texas, USA
Psst… the English website promoting the show also lists Yuki Arai, Mizuki, Hyper Misao, Shoko Nakajima, Pom Harajuku, Moka Miyamoto, Shino Suzuki, Raku and Arisu Endo as all “awaiting confirmation” to be on the show. I guess they could go and confirm them all but as we saw with Harajuku this month they might be making sure everything is absolutely ready for them all to travel first.
