TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2022 WINTER”, 20/01/2022
Shinjuku FACE
210 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami defeated Marika Kobashi, Raku, Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Mizuki pinned Harajuku with the Diving Foot Stomp (11:44).
2. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Moka Miyamoto & Yuki Arai defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Miyamoto submitted Endo with the Rashomon (11:41).
3. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta when Aino pinned Kakuta with the Venus DDT (13:16).
4. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Yuki Kamifuku & Asuka defeated Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh when Kamifuku pinned Itoh with the Famouser (15:57).
5. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao when Tatsumi pinned Misao with the Missile Hips (14:57).
The Max Heart Tournament is down to four teams with some heavy hitters taken out in the process. Daydream eliminated Kyoraku Kyomei in the main event. Rika Tatsumi is now confident that she & Miu Watanabe will win the tournament because they defeated the team that beat The Magical Sugar Rabbits in Round 1. Hyper Misao blames herself for losing today but Shoko Nakajima consoled her over it.
VENYU continue to be an unexpectedly powerful force by knocking out 121000000. The two singles champions of Tokyo Joshi Pro are now eliminated! Asuka and Miyu Yamashita took each other out with a Spin Kick Vs Skull Kick exchange. That left Yuki Kamifuku to take the pin after giving Maki Itoh the Famouser. Asuka was satisfied by the match. She pointed out she didn’t get to wrestle Itoh in AEW and she knew the fans wanted to see it. She was also happy to finally wrestle Yamashita. Itoh is taking the loss in her stride and clearly sees what is in her future. Kamifuku got her attention.
Never count out The Bakuretsu Sisters, even when the team is entering its twilight period. It’s their last tournament together so Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino are doing their best, beating Free WiFi as they head into the semi-finals. Tenma says they don’t need to use Free WiFi because she’s got a fixed line at home. Nao Kakuta still thinks she did well with Hikari Noa and wants them to get stronger together so they can challenge for the Princess Tag Team Titles.
The Cinderella team of the tournament turned out to be MokaYuki. A Full Nelson Buster from Yuki Arai kept Suzume down so Moka Miyamoto could make Arisu Endo submit to the Rashomon. Arai was amazed by the result because Arisuzu are a more organised team compared to their classmates. They are now carrying a lot of momentum into the next round.
The semi-final draw was held at the end of the show. All the remaining teams grabbed a piece of paper and the teams with the same colours will face each other. So on 29th January we are getting Daydream Vs MokaYuki and The Bakuretsu Sisters Vs VENYU!
Sayuri Namba was absent from the show after she tested positive for covid. Big Japan’s usual ring announcer Yuji Shindo filled in for her and Yuki Aino helped him through the opening announcements.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2022 TOUR IN FUKUOKA”, 16/01/2022
Fukuoka Nishitetsu Hall
190 Fans – No Vacancy
1. Chris Brookes, Naomi Yoshimura & You-sei☆Estrella defeated Shunma Katsumata, Toui Kojima & Sho-Ki when Yoshimura pinned Kojima with the Lariat (12:11).
2. Shishamo Power Debut Match: Shishamo Power & Antonio Honda defeated Akito & Yukio Naya when Power pinned Akito with La Magistral Cradle (11:11).
3. DDTeeeen!! Special Single Match: Vent Vert Jack defeated El Unicorn with an Ankle Hold (12:10).
4. 3 Way Match: HARASHIMA defeated Yuji Hino and Yuki Ishida when HARASHIMA pinned Ishida with the Somato (12:29).
5. Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yuki “Sexy” Iino Vs Soma Takao & Kazuki Hirata ended in a No Contest (11:27).
6. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani when Sasaki submitted Okatani with the Crossface Lock (12:07).
7. The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING!: Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno & MAO defeated Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku when Takeshita pinned Koroku with the Zahi (17:35).
Before the main event began, Jun Akiyama tried to roll up MAO in a failed attempt to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. MAO spent the rest of the show paranoid that someone else was going to ambush him. Konosuke Takeshita tried to calm him down after the match but that didn’t stop Shunma Katsumata from trying to win the belt while they were leaving the ring.
Tetsuya Endo is feeling down about BURNING losing to The 37KAMIINA twice in a row. He is continuing to learn by losing and wants Yuya Koroku to learn that lesson too. Akiyama backs up that point by encouraging Endo to keep hitting them regardless of the result because fighting against a champion will always make you better. Endo also believes everyone in BURNING is on the same wavelength which is good for a unit that has only been around for a month.
DAMNATION T.A told Eruption they will see them in the Ultimate Tag League finals. That’s if Eruption can make it to the final. Daisuke Sasaki said the KO-D Tag Team Titles are coming to him & MJ Paul. He wants that message sent to Minoru Fujita too. Kazusada Higuchi told Hideki Okatani that if the likes of Sasaki is laughing at him now, you have to shut them up!
The show aired live on DDT’s Youtube channel which meant Hisaya Imabayashi was as concerned as ever because the Pheromones match would probably get them banned. So of course Pheromones got their hands on him and did lewd things to get their match called off. Danshoku Dieno called the GM selfish for his attempts to stop them. He then warned that Pheromones will survive the Tag League using their values.
Vent Vert Jack used an Ankle Hold he recently learned from Masakatsu Funaki to defeat El Unicorn. According to Jack, Funaki has made him his last disciple and he passed down two moves to him, one of them being the Ankle Hold. Jack’s dream is to inherit the two moves and bring them to Mexico. He also wants DDT to continue booking him so he can wrestle more teenagers like him all over Japan. Unicorn is following the same lesson as Endo. He’s lost four matches in a row but is using those experiences to learn and get stronger.
Everyone was suspicious that the debuting Shishamo Power is really Toru Owashi under the mask. Antonio Honda explained that Power was trained by Owashi but they are two different people. Akito & Yukio Naya tried to unmask him until Honda fed him shishamo to power up and fight back. A missed chair attack from Naya hit Akito by mistake and Power pinned him with La Magistral. Shishamo said his coach Owashi is really cool and he will sell a lot of his T-shirts.
Naya has been getting frustrated with being away from shows and having no matches for the last three weeks. He never got covid during this period but keeps getting into close contact with other patients so all he could do was stay home and watch DDT videos. Now that he is back he wants to win the Tag League more than anything else. Yuji Hino advises him to be strong and promises to make Naya explode in the tournament.
Newly retired Yuto Aijima appeared after intermission to start off the second half. He thanked people like Genichiro Tenryu and Toshiaki Kawada for sending him video messages for his retirement ceremony. He also vowed to continue making the Kyushu wrestling scene a lively place.

Shinjuku FACE
215 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. Moka Miyamoto defeated Kaya Toribami with the Rashomon (5:08).
2. Nao Kakuta defeated Arisu Endo with the Shiden Kai (7:08).
3. 3 Way Match: Hikari Noa defeated Suzume and Haruna Neko when Noa pinned Neko with the Rotating Leg Hold (8:28).
4. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh, Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Tatsumi pinned Harajuku after the Daydream Eternity (12:41).
5. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Yuki Kamifuku & Asuka defeated Marika Kobashi & Raku when Asuka pinned Kobashi with the Liger Bomb (8:50).
6. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki when Nakajima pinned Mizuki with the Northern Lights Suplex (14:53).
A message was sent loud and clear from Shoko Nakajima to the rest of Tokyo Joshi Pro. She will be the next Princess Of Princess Champion and cannot lose to anyone! The proof is in her pinning Mizuki and Kyoraku Kyomei eliminating The Magical Sugar Rabbits in Round 1! Of course, she couldn’t have done this alone. Hyper Misao is there trying to catch up to her partner and promises to beat Daydream in Round 2 because she is so inspired by Nakajima. For MagiRabi this is the second year in a row they crashed out of the Max Heart Tournament in the opening round. Yuka Sakazaki knew they were going up against their toughest opponents and she didn’t let her guard down until the final minute. The reigning Princess Tag Team Champions confirmed afterward they will give the next title shot to the winners of the tournament.
VENYU were together again for the first time since their debut performance last October and it’s safe to say the team can become successful if they keep it up. After beating Marika Kobashi & Raku to advance, Yuki Kamifuku told the fans that Asuka was feeling hungover from the night before. Asuka admitted she didn’t give it her all today but she is determined to win. Even so, Asuka knows they can’t get past the 2nd Round if she wrestles while hungover again. Kamifuku is also scared of going up against 121000000 next and suggested taking a shot of tequila to get rid of her fear.
Idols Yui Okada and Lingling accompanied Miyu Yamashita for her entrance and posed for a group photo with her team before the 8-Women Tag Match. They are two of the hosts from the show “Universe Bible” on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.
Ring announcer Sayuri Namba received a letter from NEO Biishiki-gun to read during the opening announcements. The letter said Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel will return to TJPW and participate at the 11th February Korakuen Hall show.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2022 TOUR IN HIROSHIMA”, 15/01/2022
Hiroshima Marina Hop
143 Fans – No Vacancy
1. MAO defeated Yuki Ishida with the Michinoku Driver I (8:12).
2. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated Naomi Yoshimura & Toui Kojima when Sasaki submitted Kojima with the Crossface Lock (11:00).
3. Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yuki “Sexy” Iino defeated Rey Paloma & Antonio Honda when Iino pinned Honda with the Ketsugoye (12:46).
4. Yuji Hino, Chris Brookes & Akito defeated Toru Owashi, Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani when Brookes pinned Okatani with the Praying Mantis Bomb (13:27).
5. Hiroshima Specialty Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Soma Takao defeated Kenshin Chikano & Kazuki Hirata when HARASHIMA pinned Hirata with the Somato (12:03).
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING!: Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata defeated Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku when Ueno pinned Koroku with the WR (20:47).
There is a lot going on with both The 37KAMIINA and BURNING as we are on the long journey to the 25th Anniversary show. Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno are getting ready to enter the Ultimate Tag League while Takeshita is trying to build even more muscle because he knows Tetsuya Endo is getting stronger. Endo believes the matches between the two groups will get even more intense the closer we get to Sumo Hall. The unit advisor Jun Akiyama is laying out the plan to make Endo gain more power when he gets to Ryogoku. They lost today but Endo understands that losing is important because it can make you stronger.
Kazuki Hirata got ready to enter the Tag League with Shuji Kondo by teaming with another face from his past, Kenshin Chikano. That would be a big story but it just so happened to be in the same match where HARASHIMA & Soma Takao teamed together for the first time since 2018 when Takao betrayed HARASHIMA to join DAMNATION. HARASHIMA pretty much knocked out Hirata with the Somato and moved him like a puppet to dance and revive him afterwards.
Imagine the Kamigoye but instead of a knee to the face it’s your butt. That is what the Ketsugoye by Yuki Iino is like. Rey Paloma also wrestled with his costume pulled down to his ankles but that isn’t a declaration of joining or supporting Pheromones. He’s been doing that in his matches long before they showed up.

1. Hardcore Mixed Tag 1 DAY Tournament – Round 1: Shigehiro Irie & Itsuki Aoki defeated Yumehito Imanari & Miss Mongol when Irie pinned Imanari with a Turnback Backslide Pin (7:08).
2. Hardcore Mixed Tag 1 DAY Tournament – Round 1: Shota & Asuka defeated Mizuki Watase & Cherry when Asuka pinned Watase with the Moonsault Press (10:19).
3. Pocchari Joshi Pro Wrestling TRIGGER 1st: Yuna Manase defeated Totoro Satsuki with the Lariat (8:03).
4. Dreamer’s Bridge ~Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling Vs HOT JAPAN~: Yuya Aoki, Andy Wu & Tsugutaka Sato defeated Keisuke Ishii, Shinichiro Tominaga & Kouki Iwasaki when Aoki pinned Tominaga with the Kesagiri Chop (21:24).
5. A Clinical Trial Match Between Men With Painted Faces: SAGAT defeated Hajime with the Goregrind (8:48). (Special Referee: The Great Yume)
6. Hardcore Mixed Tag 1 DAY Tournament – Final: Shigehiro Irie & Itsuki Aoki defeated Shota & Asuka when Irie pinned Shota with an Avalanche Samoan Drop onto the Chair (14:06).
The 6th and last Ganbare☆Pro show in three days was a chaotic affair all put together by Yumehito Imanari. His show was built around a Hardcore Mixed Tag Tournament, one with so many hot matches that it would become a must-watch video on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. Unfortunately for Imanari he was eliminated from his own tournament in the very first match. He & Miss Mongol fell to Shigehiro Irie & Itsuki Aoki. Then the Weekend Lovers of Shota & Asuka went over Mizuki Watase & Cherry. The final was the craziest match of the lot and ended with Irie giving Shota a top rope Samoan Drop onto chairs. Despite Imanari’s lack of success in the ring, he was still proud with how the show went. Ganpro may be small but he knows it can go all the way to the top!
The match between SAGAT and Hajime became so intense it needed a special referee to watch over it. Imanari came out as The Great Yume, knocked out Daisuke Kiso with an uppercut and took over as the ref!
The Ganpro and HOT JAPAN teams got into a war of words after their match and started brawling in the ring. Imanari was one of the wrestlers trying to pull them apart but Keisuke Ishii gave him a Fisherman Buster for his troubles. HOT JAPAN were confused enough from seeing Ishii attack his own ally that they calmed down and stopped fighting.

4. “Lion King” Ken Ohka 44 Year Old Commemorative Match ~44 Year Old Lions~: Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei defeated Ken Ohka & Minoru Fujita when Kei pinned Ohka after Fujita hit Ohka with a suitcase (12:00).
He wasn’t able to win the Spirit Of Ganbare Title earlier today but Ken Ohka was still in the party mood for the big match of this show. He wanted to celebrate being 44 years old with other wrestlers his age like Minoru Fujita and The Brahman Brothers went pear-shaped when Ohka and Fujita fought over who should use the Brahman’s suitcase as a weapon. Fujita got fed up and threw the suitcase right in Ohka’s face! The Brahmans pinned Ohka and Fujita stormed off with them. Ohka wasn’t upset though. He is still loving life at age 44. When told the fans when he turns 45 he wants to invite John Cena or Brock Lesnar over to Itabashi for a singles match!
The Battle Royal came down to HARUKAZE and Mizuki Watase fighting each other over the ropes and ring apron. Both of them fell down to the floor but HARUKAZE went through the middle ropes and was therefore never eliminated. That resulted in her winning the match and the cash prize of 100,000 yen! The rest of the participants chased her out of the ring all wanting the money for themselves.
Yuna Manase wasn’t there for the opening match and was replaced by the similar looking Hong Kong International Women’s Police Man. She arrested Hong Kong International Police Man after beating him and led him out of the ring in handcuffs.

159 Fans
1. Shunma Katsumata defeated Yuya Koroku with the Totonou Splash (7:49).
2. HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi defeated Antonio Honda & Toui Kojima when HARASHIMA pinned Honda with the Somato (9:44).
3. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated Naomi Yoshimura & Hideki Okatani when Paul pinned Okatani with the Death Valley Bomb (11:46).
4. Special Tag Match: Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yuki “Sexy” Iino defeated Bodyguard & Kazuki Hirata when Dieno & Iino submitted Hirata with the Rainbow Bridge (12:06).
5. Tetsuya Endo & Jun Akiyama defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida when Endo submitted Ishida with the Yurikamome (10:52).
6. Osaka Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno & MAO defeated Yuji Hino, Chris Brookes & Akito when Takeshita submitted Akito with the Plus Ultra (21:23).
The main event briefly turned into a literal tug of war when MAO and Chris Brookes found a rope near ringside and each grabbed an end of it. Next thing you know the rest of The 37KAMIINA as well as Yuji Hino and Akito got involved. Naturally, Hino’s raw strength meant his side easily won the tug of war. The 37KAMIINA won the actual wrestling match though. Shunma Katsumata & Toui Kojima also tried and failed to pin MAO for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title afterwards. Teamwork was the topic of the day among The 37KAMIINA. They have two teams entering the Ultimate Tag League with last year’s winners split apart. Konosuke Takeshita hopes he & Yuki Ueno will meet Katsumata & MAO in the final. Katsumata & MAO said they are counting on their history together entering the NOAH Global Jr. Tag League as well as being a team since their NωA days to take them far.
Kazuki Hirata was terrified of facing Pheromones again after his experience with them yesterday. He felt reassured when Bodyguard told him to follow his lead and leave the match to him. Things went well until Bodyguard decided to give everyone a live performance of his entrance song. He even signed autographs for Hisaya Imabayashi and Ken Kato while he sang on the microphone. While this was all going on, Bodyguard was oblivious to Pheromones torturing Hirata into submission in the ring behind him.
Antonio Honda almost tricked HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi into kissing each other.
Katsumata brought out boxing gloves for his match against Yuya Koroku. When they fought outside the ring, Katsumata taped Koroku’s hands to the ring post then repeatedly punched him in the ribs while wearing the gloves.

6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Tatsuhito Takaiwa (c) defeated Ken Ohka with the Avalanche Death Valley Bomb (14:58).
*V1 for Tatsuhito Takaiwa.
The second of this month’s Ganbare☆Pro tripleheaders began with the inaugural Spirit Of Ganbare Title defence. Tatsuhito Takaiwa’s first challenger was none other than the face of Ganpro, Ken Ohka. The challenger’s never say die attitude drove Takaiwa into doing multiple Death Valley Bombs but Ohka kept kicking out. Ohka was finally defeated when he was given the Death Valley Bomb from the top rope. Takaiwa told him he could challenge for the belt again anytime. He’ll be waiting for him. But first Takaiwa has another challenger in mind. He called out Kouki Iwasaki and nominated him for the next title shot. Iwasaki couldn’t stay quiet anymore and thanked the champion for giving him the opportunity. They agreed to hold the title match in the main event of Korakuen Hall on 27th February! Shinjiro Otani gave Iwasaki encouragement at the end of the show.
RENEGADES are back and so is Mizuki Watase’s suit! He and Shigehiro Irie didn’t miss a beat teaming together again and wiped out Yumehito Imanari & Baliyan Akki in their return match. Irie & Watase even brought back their Double Stomp/Fire Thunder combo called Made In Ohio to win the match.
Shinichiro Tominaga asked Soma Takao & Shota if he could join ROMANCE DAWN but he was turned down. He spent the rest of the match begging them to join but they explained to him he didn’t meet the age limit (ROMANCE DAWN are both 34, Tominaga is 33).
The opening match saw Shuichiro Katsumura & Moeka Haruhi bring back THE HALFEE entrance with Tyson Maeguchi filling in as the third member. He had trouble lip-synching to the song.
During the opening announcements Ohka referred to himself, Imanari and Otani as Ganpro’s “Hot Blooded Three Musketeers”.

A few days ago Tetsuya Endo was the oldest person wrestling in the DDTeeeen!! show at 30 years old. Fast forward to today and he is the youngest person on his team next to two wrestlers in their fifties. Jun Akiyama joked there should be a DDT spin-off for his age group called DDTFifteeeen!! because he is still going strong. Bodyguard joined in the fun and said he thought Endo was meant to be getting people like Akiyama on his side, not against him.
The opposing team are licking their wounds and turning their attention to the Ultimate Tag League starting at the end of the month. Kazusada Higuchi gave Hideki Okatani his stamp of approval and said he doesn’t care how he acts because he believes in him. Okatani swore to beat BURNING at the Tag League. Naomi Yoshimura said his team will definitely reach the final so it is up to Eruption whether or not they will join him there.
Toui Kojima got the jump on Konosuke Takeshita during his ring entrance. Despite his best efforts, his momentum ran out and Takeshita took control with submission hold after submission hold until Kojima finally gave up. Takeshita understands why Kojima acted this way because he felt the same when he wrestled his seniors at the same age. He knows a match like this can be the turning point for a young wrestler. Kojima promised to become stronger and stronger because if he doesn’t, he won’t be able to beat anybody in DDT.
Kazuki Hirata charged up his Tegatana arm by sticking his hand into Danshoku Dieno’s backside. He then deflected the Gongitsune to strike Antonio Honda with his charged up arm and win the match.
