TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW UNIVERSE MEMBER BOX OFFICE – PURE TOKYO JOSHI PRO WRESTLING 6”, 06/03/2022
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
140 Fans -Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Cooking Match – Rice You Want To Make On White Day: Arisu Endo (Omelet Rice) defeated Yuka Sakazaki (Napolitan) by Daisuke Kiso Judgement.
2. Banned Act Lost Point System Tag Match: Miu Watanabe & Moka Miyamoto defeated Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh by TKO (11:03).
3. Foot Sole Reading Anagram 5 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Mizuki, Yuki Kamifuku, Raku and Kaya Toribami when she guessed the word “Kokugikan” (11:01).
4. Hyper Misao & Haruna Neko defeated Mil Nodcaras & Yuki Caras when Misao pinned Nodcaras with a Jackknife Pin (9:53).
5. Costume Change 6-Woman Tag Match: Rika Tatsumi, Marika Kobashi & Suzume defeated Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Mahiro Kiryu when Tatsumi submitted Kiryu with the Torso Squeeze Dragon Sleeper (13:59).
There were a lot of costume swapping on the show. When Sayuri Namba walked out for the opening introductions it was actually Pom Harajuku dressed as her. Then all the wrestlers in the main event had to pick a random back containing another person’s costume. Rika Tatsumi got Yuki Arai’s gear, Marika Kobashi got Raku’s gear, Suzume got Harajuku’s gear, Hikari Noa got Nao Kakuta’s gear, Kakuta got Tatsumi’s gear and Mahiro Kiryu got Yuki Aino’s gear.
Once again and for the last time, The Bakuretsu Sisters were missing from the fan club show and had to be replaced at the last minute. The good news is fans got the return of The NodoCaras Sisters!
Everyone in the 5 Way match had a piece of hiragana written on the sole of their foot. A wrestler was eliminated if their opponents read out the hiragana on their sole. The ultimate goal was to find all of the characters and correctly guess what word it spelt. Shoko Nakajima got it right in the end and discovered the anagram was of “Kokugikan”.
Each wrestler in Match #2 was banned from doing a particular action. Miyu Yamashita was not allowed to kick, Maki Itoh couldn’t use the DDT, Miu Watanabe was banned from lifting opponents and Moka Miyamoto couldn’t throw straight fist punches. 121000000 ended up losing when they lost their concentration and did a High Kick and DDT to their opponents at the same time.
Yuka Sakazaki and Arisu Endo took part in a cooking contest against each other. They were tasked with making a meal for Daisuke Kiso to eat. Kiso judged that Endo’s food was better so she was the winner.

202 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko defeated Nao Kakuta & Kaya Toribami when Kiryu pinned Toribami with the Spinebuster (10:34).
2. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao defeated Yuki Aino and Arisu Endo when Misao pinned Endo with La Magistral Cradle (7:53).

Two weeks before Tokyo Joshi Pro heads to Sumo Hall, they had their last preview match for the big event. The champion team defeated the group of challengers when Maki Itoh submitted her Ryogoku opponent Yuki Arai. Itoh bragged about the champions all being strong and thanked The Magical Sugar Rabbits for being a nice assist today. She also thinks Miyu Yamashita’s recent training is paying off because their Saboten Diving Headbutt double team move worked today.
A bunch of the roster got to give their final thoughts on their Sumo Hall matches. Moka Miyamoto wants to make Juria Nagano’s debut the best mtch ever. Arisu Endo & Suzume want to win their first Ryogoku match together as Arisuzu. Kaya Toribami promises not to flinch and will do her best. Haruna Neko wishes everyone good luck. Mahiro Kiryu thinks her team will win if they all work together. Nao Kakuta doesn’t want to lose against the Ganbare☆Pro team. Hyper Misao wants to get down to business with Sanshiro Takagi. Yuki Kamifuku wants Asuka to know that tequila is not the only thing that is strong. The Bakuretsu Sisters promise to beat each other up. Pom Harajuku wants to win. Raku will be waiting for everyone on the Sobu and Oedo lines. Marika Kobashi said she will defeat NEO Biishiki-gun and make gals out of them. Hikari Noa will welcome Hikaru Shida into her world. Arai told Itoh she will get revenge at Ryogoku. Itoh said she is waiting for her. Rika Tatsumi wants to go MagiRabi hunting while Miu Watanabe just wants Daydream to do their best. Yuka Sakazaki hopes everyone will go eat hamburger steak but Mizuki wants to crush Daydream to achieve world peace. Shoko Nakajima told Yamashita not to get carried away with today’s win because she will be at her strongest in Sumo Hall. Yamashita assured her she isn’t getting carried away and she will beat her.
Nodoka Tenma and Marika Kobashi will forever be connected with each other because they began training for wrestling around the same time, debuted on the same show and will be leaving wrestling within weeks of each other. Tenma praises Kobashi for having acting more mature than her age. Kobashi has been getting singles matches against her seniors lately and she said she feels even more love for TJPW after every match.
Two special guest ring announcers are now advertised to appear at “GRAND PRINCESS ’22”. The first is Minami Momochi, the “anime idol” who was TJPW’s ring announcer from 2013 to the start of 2017. The second guest is Kero Tanaka, the famous ring announcer from New Japan in the 80’s and 90’s. He made guest appearances for TJPW before and was recently in the news for having a miraculous recovery from covid.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2022 -LIMITED-”, 02/03/2022
Shinjuku FACE
233 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Saki Akai, Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Maya Yukihi, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuya Koroku when Sakaguchi submitted Koroku with a Triangle Choke (9:58).
2. Akito & Yuki Ishida defeated Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yuki “Sexy” Iino By Disqualification when Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari interfered (9:27).
3. No DQ Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Minoru Fujita defeated MAO & Yukio Naya when Fujita pinned Naya with the Modified Samson Clutch (12:56).
4. Road To Judgement 2022! Special Single Match: Chris Brookes defeated HARASHIMA with the Praying Mantis Bomb (13:33).
5. Road To Judgement 2022! Captain’s Fall Elimination 6-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo (C), Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada defeated Konosuke Takeshita (C), Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata (33:14).
5a. Jun Akiyama eliminated Yuki Ueno with a Cradle (20:48).
5b. Yusuke Okada eliminated Shunma Katsumata with the Sudden Death (26:20).
5c. Konosuke Takeshita (C) eliminated Yusuke Okada with the Zahi (28:14).
5d. Tetsuya Endo (C) eliminated Konosuke Takeshita (C) with The Best Burning Star Press In The Universe (33:14).
Three days ago Konosuke Takeshita made Tetsuya Endo submit to the Plus Ultra. Today, Endo got some revenge by pinning Takeshita with the Burning Star Press. The action was part of BURNING beating The 37KAMIINA in a Captain’s Fall Tag Match. BURNING got a 3 on 1 advantage after eliminated Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata. Takeshita got rid of Yusuke Okada but even he cannot beat the combined power of Endo & Jun Akiyama by himself. Endo said today’s win is not just revenge for what happened a few days ago. It is for every time Endo lost to Takeshita. He said today’s sight of him standing tall over a fallen Takeshita is what fans will see again at Sumo Hall.
Chris Brookes beating HARASHIMA is a big notch he can add to his belt even though the match was tarred with interference. Masahiro Takanashi picked his moments to get involved, forcing Naomi Yoshimura to come in and deal with him. Takanashi found one more chance to grab HARASHIMA’s leg before he attempted the Somato. That distraction was the deciding factor as Brookes then gave HARASHIMA the Praying Mantis Bomb for the victory. Brookes explained afterwards their plan today was not done out of hatred. It is because CDK wants the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Brookes & Takanashi believe they are the better tag team because they are together all the time outside the ring like brothers.
Some of the Hardcore wrestling that will be seen during the DDT Universal Title match was on display in the middle portion of the show. Daisuke Sasaki and MAO agreed to make today’s tag match No DQ which led to plenty of chairs and plastic boxes flying around. Yukio Naya took the brunt of everything because of this decision. MAO accidentally hit him with a chair, MJ Paul gave him a Lariat and Minoru Fujita kicked him below the belt. DAMNATION T.A then continued attacking MAO after the match, leaving him in a heap among the wreckage. Sasaki mocked MAO backstage for requesting the No DQ stipulation because Sasaki is No DQ for life! He now only cares about beating Jun Kasai for the first time in five years.
Akito attempted to fight fire with fire against Pheromones. He stripped down to his own O-back to fight on the same level of nudity as Yuki Iino. It didn’t work because Pheromones still went into overdrive on him and Yuki Ishida until they were disqualified. Hisaya Imabayashi ran in and gave Danshoku Dieno again but this time Yumehito Imanari attacked him. Pheromones then stripped Akito completely naked and gave him the Danshoku Driver! Dieno accuses DDT of having double standards. They blame Pheromones for going too far but then take advantage of their “exciting” content to get more views. Imanari said they will continue to wrestle the way they want for as long as they think it looks good for Youtube. As vice president, Akito admits what happened was a close call and he could consider legal action or a suspension. But he also thinks fighting naked in the ring in front of an audience is proof he can protect LiLiCo and Ryohei Odai at Sumo Hall.
Another fierce battle between Saki Akai and Maya Yukihi opened the show but neither were directly involved in the match result. Akai rubbed the win in her rival’s face because she was talking big at Korakuen Hall a few days ago but today she is quiet. She also likes the frustrated look on Yukihi’s face. They had a standoff that involved them grabbing each other by their heads. Backstage Yukihi called Akai a nasty woman and she wants their singles match to happen right now!

A special presentation on WRESTLE UNIVERSE saw Tokyo Joshi Pro hold its first event at a swimming pool. The participants were split into five pairs to take part in numerous challenges with points on the line. The first team to reach five points would be declared the winners. Everyone began fighting and throwing each other into the water before the first round even began.
As soon as everyone got into the water it was time for the first challenge. It was a game of Kibasen where one girl sat on their partner’s shoulders and had a chicken fight with their opponents. Pulling off someone else’s headband would eliminate them and the game continued until only one team was left. Mizuki last grabbed Hyper Misao’s band off to win the game and score 2 points.
Before the second challenge began, everyone put each other into a chain of Headlocks alongside the pool. Raku grabbed Miu Watanabe at the end and caused a chain reaction of Russian Leg Sweeps that sent everybody splashing into the water.
Good thing that was where the next game was being held. It was time to play volleyball. Daydream, Hikari Noa & Yuki Arai were short two players so Arisu Endo and Moka Miyamoto were added to their side despite not being part of the competition. They ended up winning 3-1 so Daydream and Noa & Akai both received 1 point each.
Nodoka Tenma wanted to take a rest inbetween games. What happened instead was Watanabe held her at the bottom of the waterslide so everyone else could go on the ride and Dropkick Tenma at the end. Sayuri Namba reluctantly took part too after Misao held her hostage with a gun. Rika Tatsumi disarmed Misao but threw Namba down the slide anyway.
The final competition was supposed to be a freestyle swimming race in the 25m pool. Yuka Sakazaki briefly vanished and reappeared in an athletic swimsuit, showing she was fully prepared for the contest. She easily finished in first with Tatsumi finishing behind her to earn a consolation point.
No team had the five points needed to win the entire competition so everyone agreed to take part in a Falls Count Anywhere 5 Way Tag Match with 3 points on the line. Daydream slammed Noa onto a swan float and sent her down a stream away from everyone else. Tatsumi then attempted the Missile Hip into the pool but Arai moved out of the way and Watanabe got hit instead. Raku & Marika Kobashi were seen on top of the bridge above them. They jumped off and hit Double Brain Chops onto Watanabe and Arai in the water. Tenma was thrown onto a floating ring and was stuck there. Sakazaki then decided to climb up a wall and do the Magical Girl Splash onto Tenma in the pool! She pinned her for the three count after that.
With 6 points now in total, The Magical Sugar Rabbits were declared the winners! Sakazaki & Mizuki both received trophies which they used to scoop up water and splash the other girls with. They then threw Namba into the water before jumping in themselves to end the show.

GANBARE☆PRO “BAD COMMUNICATION 2022”, 27/02/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
319 Fans
1. Katsumura-gun Vs Hitodenashi BLUES: Shuichiro Katsumura & Tsuyoshi Okada defeated Nobuhiro Shimatani & Tyson Maeguchi when Katsumura submitted Shimatani with a Triangle Choke (10:04).
2. Ganjo Special Tag Match: Moeka Haruhi & Maya Yukihi defeated Yuna Manase & YuuRI when Yukihi submitted YuuRI with the Whiteout (13:49).
3. Ganpro’s Famous Hardcore Mixed Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata & Akane Fujita defeated Mizuki Watase & HARUKAZE when Fujita pinned HARUKAZE with the Mikan de Pon onto the Ladder (15:30).
4. Unleash The Curse Of The Great Prophecy!: Yumehito Imanari defeated The Great Sasuke with a Lariat (15:50).
5. BAD COMMUNICATION 2022 Special Bout: Ken Ohka, Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Shota, Soma Takao & Shinichiro Tominaga when Ohka pinned Tominaga with the Fire Spear (12:38).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Tatsuhito Takaiwa (c) defeated Kouki Iwasaki with the Avalanche Death Valley Bomb (23:02).
*V2 for Tatsuhito Takaiwa.
A hot topic in Japanese wrestling right now is how hard the old guard are fighting to stay in the spotlight. It’s happening in Ganbare☆Pro too where Tatsuhito Takaiwa has a tight grip on the new Spirit Of Ganbare World Title. He successfully defended the championship against Kouki Iwasaki in the main event of Korakuen Hall after a hard fought battle. Any hope Ganpro had of their “young general” bringing the belt back home failed to materialize after the Avalanche Death Valley Bomb put him away. Takaiwa called the match the toughest he’s had in years because he is not good against kickers. Iwasaki agreed, describing the champion as a man who crawled up from Hell. Takaiwa is being a good spirit despite being somewhat of an outsider. He made a promise to help Ganpro grow bigger while he is their champion and welcomes anyone to come challenge him. He is willing to have a rematch against Iwasaki but he also wants to learn more about the rest of the roster for potential opponents.
The trio of Ken Ohka, Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie were too strong from ROMANCE DAWN & Shinichiro Tominaga to sail through. Irie smashed through Soma Takao with the Traffic Accident while Ishii took Shota out of play. That left Tominaga on his own ducking and diving all of his opponent’s big moves. He dodged the Beast Bomber and Kneel Kick but Ohka finally caught him with the Flame Spear to get the win.
In December 2015 The Great Sasuke gave Yumehito Imanari a “Great Prophecy” predicting he would have a breakout year in 2016. Nothing has happened since then and Imanari puts the blame on Sasuke for giving him a false blessing. That is what led to their singles match today. Sasuke, being the nutjob he is, did a Senton Bomb to the floor and missed. He was able to keep fighting until Imanari beat him with a Lariat. A tearful Imanari told Sasuke he still believes in the prophecy because it drives him to do his best. Sasuke gave an excuse that his prophecies sometimes have a time lag so Imanari’s one will definitely come true this year!
The Mixed Tag Match brought violence on an absurd level with some of the bizarre weapons being used. Mizuki Watase wore a tiger paw glove covered in barbed wire, HARUKAZE carried a garbage bag filled with empty plastic bottles, Akane Fujita had a baseball bat covered in thumbtacks and Shunma Katsumata had a bad with toy blocks stuck to it. Other weapons used included chairs, a ladder, an acupressure foot mat, steel cans and concrete blocks. Katsumata & Fujita kept accusing each other of stealing their own weapon ideas but had to get along out of necessity to win the match. Katsumata told Akane they keep winning together but they should stop before Sanshiro Takagi decides to make them team up again. Akane said that’s his problem and she will team with whoever the company offers to her. Watase & HARUKAZE enjoyed doing the match and like the idea of becoming a Hardcore Manzai tag team.
The Ganbare☆Joshi division was put on display in Match #2. YuuRI was put through the wringer by Moeka Haruhi & Maya Yukihi so Yuna Manase used her own size and power to spark a comeback. YuuRI also got her second wind but it couldn’t last against Yukihi. After Haruhi got Manase out of the ring, Yukihi stretched and pulled YuuRI in the Whiteout until she gave up.
In the opening match Shuichiro Katsumura & Tsuyoshi Okada joined forces to beat Nobuhiro Shimatani & Tyson Maeguchi. It was a Power Bomb from Shimatani that was suddenly countered into a Triangle Choke from Katsumura that led to that result.
2022 is going to be a big year schedule wise for Ganpro. There will be three more Korakuen shows this year on 3rd May, 13th August and 27th December. Pocchari Joshi will also return for its third show on 26th April. But that’s not all. Ganpro are making their biggest gamble yet to become a major pro wrestling promotion. On 10th July they are going to run Ota Ward Gymnasium! When Ganpro began in 2013 Ohka only had 150,000 yen and Nanhai Ichigaya Memorial Clinic (now known as Ichigaya Chocolate Square) as a venue. He likes venues like that and Itabashi Green Hall but believes the time has come to grow bigger and become more major. That is why Ganpro is running Korakuen four times a year and also going to Ota Ward. He wants to keep the momentum going so one day Ganpro will reach Sumo Hall and the Tokyo Dome! He also said if Ganpro works hard and Japan works hard they can create a booming economy together!

-. Tetsuya Endo & Jun Akiyama (6)
3. Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya (4)
4. Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani (2)

2. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul (4)
-. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari (4)
-. Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi (4)
5. Shunma Katsumata & MAO (2)
It was an unusual idea put forth by HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura to vacate the KO-D Tag Team Titles before the Ultimate Tag League. But they made their point by entering the tournament as challengers on an even playing field with everyone else, then winning the entire thing to regain the belts! They topped their group and then faced The 37KAMIINA in the final. The match came down to former Nautilus teammates Naomi Yoshimura and Yuki Ueno fighting each other. They were evenly matched while HARASHIMA and Konosuke Takeshita did what they can to tip the balance in their team’s favour. In the end, Ueno’s Frankensteiner pin was destroyed by the Somato from HARASHIMA. Yoshimura hit a Power Bomb and a Lariat but Ueno still kicked out. He was finally put away with a Modified version of the Shonenba.
Yoshimura was satisfied with winning the tournament and regaining the tag titles like he had intended. However there was one team DISASTER BOX did not beat in the group stage. He called out CDK, who came to the ring carrying the Asia Dream Tag Team Titles they won in ChocoPro yesterday. HARASHIMA challenged them to a KO-D Tag Titles match at the 25th Anniversary show on 20th March! Masahiro Takanashi admitted DISASTER BOX are the best tag team in DDT but the tag titles should belong to the most dramatic and dreamy of tag teams, which is himself & Chris Brookes! Yoshimura closed out the show giving a shoutout to Kazuki Hirata. He and HARASHIMA had a pair of Hirata GO! glasses with them for both of their matches today.
Maya Yukihi got the better of Saki Akai in their latest preview match ahead of Sumo Hall. She teamed with Sanshiro Takagi, who himself is fired up for his matches at Ryogoku weekend, to beat Akai & Yukio Sakaguchi. Yukihi was also eager to fight Sakaguchi and that possibly kept her sharp enough to pin Akai directly with the Snowton Bomb. Yukihi told Akai afterwards she wants to drag out her emotional side to make their singles make even more fierce. Whether that happens or not, Yukihi is certain she will win. She also came up with a team name for her and Takagi. They can be called Fire Snow! Akai feels she let herself down because she wanted to prove to Takagi and Sakaguchi she can carry DDT on her own. She thinks this because she will be on her own against Yukihi at Sumo Hall and she wants to be the last one standing and smiling at the end.
Preparations are going well for DAMNATION T.A even if there is somebody trying to get their attention. Daisuke Sasaki, Minoru Fujita & MJ Paul were a well oiled, greasy team bending all the rules to beat Yuji Hino, Akito & Yukio Naya. After the match Sasaki attacked the referee while MAO appeared at the top of the entrance gate watching on. He tried to get Sasaki’s attention but Sasaki kicked the gate until MAO fell. He then walked off leaving MAO lying on the floor. Backstage, Sasaki asked who the current KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions are and got confused when he found out it is Pheromones. He wants to challenge them for the titles. He also said Fujita had been spying on Jun Kasai so Sasaki now knows everything about him. His plan to defend the DDT Universal Title in the Hardcore 3 Way Match is going along nicely.
The final block matches of the Ultimate Tag League made up the early portions of the show. Takeshita & Ueno reached the final be beating BURNING to top their group. It was a big preview of the upcoming Ryogoku main event between Takeshita Vs Tetsuya Endo. Takeshita took out Jun Akiyama with the very Jumping Knee Strike that was passed down to him. He also blocked the Burning Star Press before making Endo tap out to the Plus Ultra. Both teams ended with 6 points but this result meant The 37KAMIINA advanced thanks to the Direct Confrontation rule. Endo was angry at himself for giving up. However he and Akiyama both agree there is still one thing he can use to beat Takeshita. Whatever it is, Endo didn’t expand upon it any further. Instead he said he will beat Takeshita for the KO-D Openweight Title at Sumo Hall.
DISASTER BOX won their block but had to get an unwanted eye-full of Pheromones to do it. A No Contest would have created a 4 Way tie for first place so both teams wanted to win. Yes, even Pheromones. They complained Yuki Iino’s shoulder was up while HARASHIMA pinned him with a Victory Roll. Danshoku Dieno later accused DDT of bribing the ref so they would lose. Yumehito Imanari was more concerned about the size of Yoshimura’s thighs. He never seen anything like them and thinks they should be used in his movies!
There was only pride on the line for the ShunMao Vs CDK match. Both teams were already eliminated from contention. ShunMao’s teamwork blew up in their own faces when Shunma Katsumata accidentally hit the Sauna Trance Splash onto his own partner. With MAO taken out that way, CD hit a Super Kick/Praying Mantis Bomb combo to pin Katsumata. ShunMao still believe they did well in the tournament. They had to wrestle under normal rules and were still able to entertain the fans. Now they will wait for offers to wrestle anywhere, even somewhere abroad like America or Finland. Takanashi used one of the Asia Dream Tag Title belts to block a punch from MAO during the match. He later found out the punch broke one of the plates! He swore revenge on them as soon as he finds some tape to fix the belt.
Both Kazusada Higuchi and Shuji Kondo found themselves without their regular tag partners because of covid. Their Tag League match was declared void and neither team got points out of it. Instead, Higuchi teamed with Soma Takao to face Kondo & Toru Owashi. The Toryumon flavored team came out on top which makes Owashi think it was fate for Hirata to get sick and make himself team with Kondo. It may be the start of something new or it may not. The one thing Owashi is sure of is Kondo won the match for Hirata.
Dark match? More like After Dark match! Danshoku Dieno’s bout against Hiroshi Yamato aired live on DDT’s Youtube channel so Hisaya Imabayashi warned them not to go overboard. They did anyway by trying to strip off each other’s wrestling tights. Imabayashi called off the match and finally had enough. When Dieno tried to attack him he fought back and gave Dieno a Stunner! Imabayashi then kicked Yamato out of the ring and ordered the staff to disinfect everything before the main show could begin.
The other dark match was a much cleaner affair. Yusuke Okada submitted Yuki Ishida. The youngster hit his Sumo Slaps and kicked out of a Brainbuster but the Crab Hold defeated him in the end.
The complete card for “JUDGEMENT 2022 ~DDT 25TH ANNIVERSARY~” on 20th March was revealed at the end of the show. Isami Kodaka sent in a video promising to be there. He and Yukio Sakaguchi will face Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata on the show. Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani are the team that will face Jun Akiyama & Takao Omori. There will also be a pre-show matches with the past, present and future of DDT invovled.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2022 WINTER ~OSAKA PERFORMANCE~”, 26/02/2022
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall
164 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Suzume defeated Kaya Toribami with the Ring A Bell (7:15).
2. Nao Kakuta defeated Haruna Neko with the Shiden Kai (7:51).
3. Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Itoh submitted Harajuku with the Itoh Punish (11:09).
4. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Moka Miyamoto defeated Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Mahiro Kiryu when Watanabe pinned Kiryu with the Tear Drop (12:36).
5. Miyu Yamashita & Marika Kobashi defeated Hikari Noa & Arisu Endo when Yamashita pinned Endo with the Skull Kick (10:05).
6. Yuka Sakazaki Vs Mizuki defeated Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino when Sakazaki pinned Tenma after the Toy Story 4 (15:10).
This is the last Tokyo Joshi Pro show in Osaka to feature both Nodoka Tenma and Marika Kobashi. Tenma got to wrestle The Magical Sugar Rabbits and had nothing but kind words to say about them afterwards. Tenma is an older sister but she thinks TJPW has many “older sister” types on the roster that took care of her and Yuki Aino in many ways. Tenma wants the fans in Osaka to know that TJPW without Tenma and Kobashi will still be amazing so please go and see the show again.
Miyu Yamashita made sure to work hard in order to make up for lost time while she was out sick. Kobashi said she loves Osaka so much she went to the Amerikamura area to recharge before her match.
Maki Itoh also kept herself busy while she was in isolation. She tried making pasta using the ingredients sent to her from the care package sent by the Japanese government for covid patients. Itoh burned the pasta because she used a frying pan to cook it. She still ate it all so the taxes that paid for it wouldn’t be wasted.
TJPW will hold a show at Osaka Edion Arena #2 on 5th May. It will be their first show at the venue since September 2019. It will also be Yuki Arai’s first match in Osaka.

DDT “ULTIMATE TAG LEAGUE 2022 IN FUKUSHIMA!!”, 23/02/2022
Will Fukushima
98 Fans
0. Ultimate Tag League 2022 – A Block: Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya (4) defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani (2) by Forfeit.
1. Kazusada Higuchi defeated Yuki Ishida with the Brain Claw (10:00).
2. Pheromones Vs DISASTER BOX!: Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yuki “Sexy” Iino Vs Toru Owashi & Naomi Yoshimura ended in a No Contest (13:08).
3. Chris Brookes defeated Yukio Naya with the Death By Roll-Up (12:41).
4. Fukushima Specialty Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Gorgeous Matsuno when Honda pinned Matsuno with a Crushed La Magistral Cradle (13:07).
5. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated Yuji Hino & Akito when Sasaki submitted Akito with the Crossface Lock (12:43).
6. BURNING! Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada defeated Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & MAO when Endo pinned Katsumata with the Best Burning Star Press In the Universe (19:27).
A Block
1. Tetsuya Endo & Jun Akiyama (6)
2. Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno (4)
-. Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya (4)
4. Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani (2)
5. Shuji Kondo & Kazuki Hirata (0)
B Block
1. HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura (4)
-. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul (4)
-. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari (4)
4. Shunma Katsumata & MAO (2)
-. Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi (2)
The absence of Konosuke Takeshita was noticeable from both sides in the main event. Tetsuya Endo felt something was different and Jun Akiyama told him The 37KAMIINA come off lukewarm without their main man. Endo still wants to send him a message. He will beat Takeshita at Korakuen Hall and then at Sumo Hall in the next month! Endo also ripped off MAO’s shirt during the match. The shirt was a piece of Gorgeous Matsuno merchandise, MAO’s favourite one in fact. He swore to get revenge on Endo over it.
Matsuno & Yukio Sakaguchi swapped robes for their entrance. It must have been Matsuno’s idea because Sakaguchi didn’t look happy doing it. Matsuno also teased he will form a new unit with him soon, one that will last for a long time. Sakaguchi instantly shot down that idea and refuses having to do it. Matsuno then came up with another idea. He will hold a show in Fukushima celebrating his 20th anniversary in wrestling on 19th September!
Pheromones came up with a creative public execution for Hisaya Imabayashi this time. Makoto Oishi carried in a tiny snowman which was placed on Yuki Iino’s crotch while he was lying down. Danshoku Dieno then gave Imabayashi an Atomic Drop onto the snowman. Afterward they smothered his face and crotch with the snow.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2022 WINTER”, 23/02/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
202 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Hikari Noa & Kaya Toribami when Kamifuku pinned Toribami with the Famouser (9:10).
2. 3 Way Match: Suzume defeated Haruna Neko and Moka Miyamoto when Suzume pinned Neko with a Jackknife Pin (9:52).
3. Hyper Misao defeated Marika Kobashi with the Hypami Returns (10:51).
4. Shoko Nakajima, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Raku, Pom Harajuku & Yuki Arai when Aino pinned Harajuku after the Bakuretsu Bulldog (14:40).
5. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Nao Kakuta defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Arisu Endo when Tatsumi pinned Endo with the Twist Of Fate (16:28).
After the main event Rika Tatsumi told the audience that she and Yuka Sakazaki entered Tokyo Joshi Pro together as classmates. They both went their own directions and each ended up with good tag team partners, Tatsumi with Miu Watanabe and Sakazaki with Mizuki. The two teams will face off at “GRAND PRINCESS ’22” and both teams are promising to win. Daydream want to win the Princess Tag Team Titles at Sumo Hall while The Magical Sugar Rabbits want to defend them in the same place. Backstage Tatsumi said she has learned how inseparable MagiRabi are together so she will hunt down the both of them at Ryogoku!
The Bakuretsu Sisters are going to explode at Sumo Hall! Nodoka Tenma doesn’t want her wrestling career to end before she has a match against her sister. Yuki Aino has always declined the idea whenever someone suggested it but this time Tenma won’t take no for an answer. Aino agreed, saying she made it to where she is today because of Tenma and she now wants to defeat her with all of her strength.
When the show began it was announced that Hyper Misao will take on Sanshiro Takagi at Sumo Hall. When Misao’s match was over, she got on the microphone and admitted she is disappointed that the match is happening. She would have wanted to fight the Takagi she saw eight years ago when she discovered pro wrestling but now he is just an ordinary president who cares more about numbers than doing crazy things. Takagi understands her complaints. He can’t lift one of his shoulders like he used to and he put this match together because he does want to sell more tickets for the show. But he is still a pro wrestler and that pro wrestler will stand in front of Misao at Sumo Hall so she better not regret her words! He promises their match will get crazy even though he also has to wrestle at the DDT show in the same building the next day.
One week before Marika Kobashi graduates from Tokyo Joshi Pro, she will have a starring role at the next “TJPW INSPIRATION” show on 10th April. She gets to team up with her favorite wrestler Abdullah Kobayashi! Their opponents will be Antonio Honda & SAKI.
Misao tried to hold a protest before her match with Kobashi to stop her from graduating. She complained about feeling lonely because people she meets in TJPW keep graduating from the company. Kobashi grabbed her placard sign and attacked her with it.

BASARA “BASARA 184 ~GLITTER~”, 22/02/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld
1. Yusuke Kubo defeated Chicharito Shoki with a Gedo Clutch (9:10).
2. Takumi Tsukamoto & Yusuke Kubo defeated Gouma & Yasu Urano when Tsukamoto submitted Gouma with a Crab Hold (10:12).
3. FUMA defeated SAGAT with the Cross Armbreaker (14:30).
4. Isami Kodaka, Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita defeated Tsutomu Oosugi, Banana Senga & Fuminori Abe when Shimomura pinned Abe with an Invertied Hurricanrana (14:19).
5. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with the V Slider (18:21).
*V3 for Ryota Nakatsu.
The long delayed Union MAX Title match between Ryota Nakatsu and Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi finally took place. Nakatsu had a visual pin on Hiroshi with the V Slider but the referee Yuya Okada was knocked out earlier and couldn’t count it. Hiroshi did his best to fight back but Nakatsu hit another V Slider and this time Okada was there to count the pin. Hiroshi admitted he was overconfident but Nakatsu called him the best genius in BASARA.
Suddenly, FUMA ran in and gave Nakatsu a judo throw. He then revealed something he kept secret from everyone all this time. The leader of Asian Kung Fu Revolution is not a Chinese kung fu master! He is in fact Japanese and spent 6 years in a judo club during junior high and high school. Watching the title match made his heart go wild so he wants to challenge Nakatsu for the MAX Title. Nakatsu accepted the challenge but was in for a surprise. For you see, FUMA actually does know kung fu. He just lied to trick Nakatsu into giving him a title shot. FUMA promised he will use the 4,000 years of Chinese history found in his kung fu techniques to beat Nakatsu!
Yusuke Kubo kept yelling at Chicharito Shoki to go back to Chiba while they were fighting. Shoki refused because he wanted to wrestle in front of all the fans in Shin-Kiba 1st RING.
