4. Mizuki, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao, Toga & Mifu Ashida when Mizuki pinned Toga with the Diving Foot Stomp (10:59).
5. Rika Tatsumi & Yuki Aino defeated Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami when Aino pinned Toribami with the Venus DDT (11:14).
6. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Arisu Endo defeated Yuki Arai with the Ju no Okite (14:40).
7. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Miu Watanabe defeated Shoko Nakajima with the Tear Drop (24:40).

Miu Watanabe has one eye set on the Tokyo Princess Cup final. The right one to be precise because Shoko Nakajima accidentally smashed in the left eye during their match. Nakajima went for the Diving Senton from the top turnbuckle but Watanabe blocked it with her knees. But during the impact Nakajima’s elbow hit Watanabe in the eye and left her with a shiner for the rest of the bout. The block also gave her a dead leg for a bit but she was able to walk it off at ringside while Nakajima was also recovering from the block. The match itself put a lot of focus on the ringwork that the two wrestlers have developed a lot of good chemistry over for the last couple of months. Nakajima avoided the Tear Drop to give Watanabe the Northern Lights Suplex but she only got a two count out of it. Then when she went to the top rope, Watanabe followed up and grabbed Nakajima into the Canadian Backbreaker position. Nakajima tried to wriggle out of it but Watanabe ended up giving her an Avalanche Power Slam instead. She then got the three count by giving her the Tear Drop.

After the match Watanabe talked about how often she has wrestled Nakajima in the last few months alone. She is probably the person she sees more than anyone else at the dojo. If it wasn’t for Nakajima, Watanabe wouldn’t feel the need to work so hard so she is happy they get to wrestle each other and improve each other. With just the final left to go, Watanabe doesn’t care who she will face because she is a princess and will never lose! Her opponent is going to be Arisu Endo, who went into the ring to say some things herself. This is her chance to become the best in Tokyo Joshi Pro so she is going to win and become the woman of the summer! Watanabe praised Endo for how cool she’s looked in the earlier rounds and she looks forward to meeting her in the final on 23rd August.

Endo’s road to the final put her in front of Yuki Arai who was in the semi final round for the third year in a row. She tried using the Scorpion Death Lock to win and even dragged Endo back to the centre of the ring. She then switched to the Full Nelson Buster but Endo escaped and gave her the Waterwheel Drop instead. It seemed the damage dealt to Endo’s back would be her undoing as she couldn’t find the strength to use her finisher. But she propped herself back up to Super Kick Arai before she could do the Finally and pulled off the Ju no Okite for the victory. Endo said every time she’s fought Arai it was in crucial moments of her career so when they were drawn together for the semi final, that was Arai’s good luck shining through. But with this being Endo’s first time reaching the final four, she pulled it through and will now go all the way to the final! She thinks the Princess Cup trophy suits her too even though she doesn’t wear pink much. It also now seems clear that Arai treats Endo as her rival just as much as vice versa. Arai still has her sights set on taking two more steps in the Princess Cup. First step is reaching the final and the second is winning it. She wants to do both next year.

Suzume had fallen ill the day before the show so she was pulled from the card, reshuffling a few matches as a result. One of the changes was Mifu Ashida getting to team with Hyper Misao for the first time. Misao wanted to talk about it on the microphone but she got distracted by Pom Harajuku grabbing Ashida’s pom-poms from the corner and started to play with them. Misao took them off her but decided to try cheering with them herself. Harajuku and her team then all attacked her to start the match. Ashida got her pom-poms back so Harajuku then tried to join in her cheers by replacing the pom-poms with her own shoes.

The other change due to Suzume’s absence was the inclusion of a 3 Way Match with Ren Konatsu taking part in such a stipulation for the first time ever. Mahiro Kiryu explained to her how tough 3 Way Matches are so they should team up against HIMAWARI to make it easier for themselves. That didn’t last long and soon HIMAWARI convinced Konatsu that the two of them should team up against Kiryu! It forced Kiryu to apologize over being so arrogant about 3 Way Matches. She later got revenge by tying HIMAWARI’s hair to the ropes while HIMAWARI had Konatsu in the Half Crab Hold. HIMAWARI was stuck there and couldn’t stop Kiryu from making Konatsu submit to a Crab Hold in the middle of the ring. When HIMAWARI was untied from the ropes she chased after Kiryu to the back.

DDT “MISEN 2025”, 16/08/2025
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kazuma Sumi when Honda pinned To-y with the Japanese Leg Roll Clutch (10:45).
*Antonio Honda wins To-y’s Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere Arm Cover.
2. Danshoku Dieno, Naomi Yoshimura & Takeshi Masada defeated Soma Takao, Shota & Kazuki Hirata when Yoshimura pinned Shota with the Harai-goshi (10:58).
3. Special Single Match: Akito defeated Ilusion with a European lutch (9:07).
4. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere 3 Way Match: Hideki Okatani defeated Daichi Sato and Yuki Ishida when Okatani pinned Sato with the Skewer Claymore (9:09).
*Hideki Okatani wins the Blue Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere Arm Cover.
5. Special Tag Match: Jun Akiyama & HARASHIMA defeated Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul when HARASHIMA pinned Paul with the Somato (11:33).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya defeated MAO, KANON & Yuya Koroku (w/ KIMIHIRO) when Higuchi pinned Koroku with the Claw Slam (19:49).

The trio of champions are coming out of the main event all confident that they will defend their titles on 30th August. In fact Yuki Iino is so confident about it he believes Kazusada Higuchi and The Apex will all still be the champions the next time DDT comes back to Nagoya! Yukio Naya joined in by combining The Apex’s catchphrase with Harimao’s. “The Apex, dosukoi! Yeah!”

Two notable things happened over the Right To Challenge Arm Covers today. Hideki Okatani is the latest person to get his hands on one by winning the Blue Arm Cover in a 3 Way Match. When asked about his plans to cash in, he kept quiet and only gave a sinister smile in response. Earlier in the show Antonio Honda pinned To-y in their match to win his RTC Arm Cover. Honda sent something of a warning to Higuchi to start dreaming of him whenever he sleeps because when that dream ends, Honda will be wearing the KO-D Openweight Title belt!

DDT “D GENERATIONS 5 ~UNFINISHED SHACHIHOKO BOYS~” Results

August 16, 2025

DDT “D GENERATIONS 5 ~UNFINISHED SHACHIHOKO BOYS~”, 16/08/2025
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Tag Match: Daichi Sato & Yuki Ishida defeated Takahiro Hiramoto & Masanori Kanu Watanabe when Ishida pinned Watanabe with the Flame Palm (12:13).
2. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Battle: To-y defeated Grand Passion Mask No. 4 with the Kojima Impact (8:06).
3. Ilusion defeated Mikiya Sasaki with a Rope-Assisted Backslide Pin (6:43).
4. Hideki Okatani defeated Ryoma Tsukamoto with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (8:24).
5. Special Single Match: Shota defeated Yuya Koroku with a Crucifix Pin (12:06).
6. Special Tag Match: Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi defeated Yu Shimizu & Ali Najima when Sumi pinned Najima with the School Boy (15:04).

The fifth D GENERATIONS show took place outside of Tokyo for the first time. Everyone instead went over to Nagoya to fight a fresh set of opponents away from the Young Communication side. The main event pitted Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi against the local Sportiva team of Yu Shimizu & Ali Najima. Sumi scored the win for the D GENERATIONS team but Najima demanded a singles match with him afterward.

Shota was the only Young Communication wrestler on the show so he felt the need to be at his best against Yuya Koroku. He used a Crucifix Pin as a counter to Koroku’s Armbar to get the win and is pretty pleased with himself over it. Koroku however said things aren’t over between him and Shota.

Ryoma Tsukamoto briefly gave Hideki Okatani a taste of his own medicine when he choked him with a chain outside the ring during their match. But Okatani got his second wind, gave Tukamoto the Claymore Kick into the corner and pinned him with the Verical Drop Brainbuster.

A similar situation happened with Ilusion in his match. Mikiya Sasaki was also willing to use dirty tactics against a DAMNATION T.A wrestler, mainly using the ropes for leveraging his pin attempts. Ilusion fought back using Low Blows but even then Sasaki would give him a Low Blow of his own by accidentally falling head first into Ilusion’s groin. The damage was too much for Sasaki to bear though and Ilusion pinned him with a Backslide Pin with his own feet on the ropes for leverage.

Grand Passion Mask No. 4 tried to trick To-y during the match by stripping down to his underwear and hiding among the audience in the front row. This included removing his mask and leaving it in the ring for To-y to find and get confused. Passion would then attack him from behind but got the back of his underwear pulled down in the process. To-y would then get his hands on him for a Full Nelson Buster followed by the Kojima Impact to protect his Right To Challenge Arm Cover.

5e. Yuki Ishida eliminated MJ Paul with a Cradle (12:47).
5f. Ilusion eliminated Yuki Ishida with an Inside Cradle (12:47).
6. Takeshi Masada’s 3rd Anniversary Match ~ 3 Vs 1 Handicap Match: Takeshi Masada defeated Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Bunbun when Masada pinned Honda with the Masada no Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (18:40).

Today’s main event was supposed to be celebrating the 3rd Anniversary of Takeshi Masada’s debut match. However plans slightly changed and he had to fight the rest of SCHADENFREUDE International by himself. That’s right, Bunbun didn’t want to team with him, he wanted to fight him instead. So Bunbun sided with Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda for a 3 Vs 1 Handicap Match against Masada. It was Bunbun’s debut wrestling match but the puppet ended up storming off after three missed attacks from Brookes hit him by mistake. Honda came up with an idea to bring him back by leading the others in the Bunbun Resurrection Dance. It succeeded too well because suddenly Bunbun emerged from under the ring in a second, more human sized form! He attacked everyone using John Cena’s moveset until SCHADENFREUDE all ganged up on him and forced him out of the ring. Bunbun later returned in his normal form but injured his knee in an attempted dive. It was all so he could do a Gongitsune spot with Honda. Masada evaded the attack and ended up beating Honda with his finisher. Masada thanked the others for having such a fun match with him on this anniversary and Bunbun talked about how much fun pro wrestling is.

The stipulation of the Elimination Tag Match was that every time there was a 1 Count kickout or a rope escape, everyone got to drink a cup of beer except for the team captains Yuki Ishida and MJ Paul. So nearly everyone in Harimao and DAMNATION T.A got drunk quickly while Ishida and Paul tried to take the match seriously.

Yukio Naya knows what always happens when you wrestle Danshoku Dieno so he wanted to embrace it. However Dieno didn’t want to give him the Lip Lock because he doesn’t think Naya is cute looking. He was apologetic over it and the two ended up clashing heads with each other after HARASHIMA accidently pushed them together. Naya and Dieno ended up switching bodies and now Dieno (in Naya’s body) gathered the urge to Lip Lock Naya (in Dieno’s body). He put on the Danshoku tights, did the Lip Lock and won the match with the Danshoku Driver. He then ran around ringside chasing after the ringside attendents. Later in the show Naya (in Dieno’s body) appeared during the Blindfold Bra match wearing his wrestling outfit.

Both To-y and Yuya Koroku are currently trying to farm as many life points as they can for their DDT Extreme Title match on 30th August. Life Points are mostly earned from social media posts getting lots of views but it also turns out they can be wagered too. To-y had 10 LP going into today’s show while Koroku had 12 so the two agreed to gamble 10 points each on their match in the opener. To-y beat Koroku directly to win the match for his team so not only did he win 10 extra LP, he also won Koroku’s Right To Challenge Arm Cover! Having caught the gambling bug, To-y then challenged Koroku to a double or nothing game of Rock Paper Scissors. He won that too but then kept asking for more rematches so he could reach his goal of 100 Life Points! Unfortunately his luck ran out and Koroku finally won a game. As a result both of them have reset their LP to 0 and will go back to social media to start farming LP again.

GANBARE☆PRO “INFERNAL AFFAIRS 2025” Results

August 11, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “INFERNAL AFFAIRS 2025”, 11/08/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
166 Fans

0. Exhibition Match: Ken Ohka Vs Sentaro Motoshima ended in a Time Limit Draw (5:00).
1. Munetatsu Nakamura defeated Shota Kawakami with the Back-Roll German Suplex (10:03).
2. Ken Ohka defeated Thanomsak Toba with the Spear Of Flame (6:06).
3. Yumehito Imanari, Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Takuya Wada, Choun-Shiryu & PSYCHO when Tominaga pinned Shiryu with the Wine Hamon Overdrive (15:31).
4. YuuRI, Sumika Yanagawa & Misa Kagura defeated Moeka Haruhi, Yuna Manase & Chika when YuuRI pinned Chika with the Swanton Bomb (12:09).
5. GanPro Vs FREEDOMS 6-Man Tag Match: Shuichiro Katsumura, Mizuki Watase & Shigehiro Irie defeated Takashi Sasaki, Mammoth Sasaki & Daisuke Masaoka when Watase pinned Masaoka with the Venetian (22:42).
-. Exhibition Match: Yumehito Imanari Vs Sentaro Motoshima ended in a Time Limit Draw (5:00).

The first battle in this summer feud between Ganbare☆Pro and FREEDOMS goes to GanPro! They were the home team for today’s main event but the visitors aren’t going to take defeat lying down. After Mizuki Watase pinned Daisuke Masaoka for the victory, Takashi Sasaki told the GanPro team not to let their guard down because this rivalry has only just begun. The next inter-promotional match will be at a FREEDOMS show in Shuichiro Katsumura’s hometown of Yokohama on 17th August. Sasaki promised he will embarrass Katsumura in front of his own people! He then told Watase that GanPro’s “amateur” training cannot prepare him for a Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match with Jun Kasai on 26th August. Ken Ohka defended Watase by saying everybody has a first time for everything! Watase and nobody else in GanPro for that matter are going to fight FREEDOMS with the intention of losing. Watase then said if it he was just going to have a normal rules match with Kasai he would definitely beat him right now! He is going to put everything he’s learned during his 10 year career into this match so don’t underestimate him.

The Ken Ohka Vs Thanomsak Toba was put together as a tribute for the late Tomohiko Hashimoto. Both wrestlers spoke about their memories of him after the match.

The GanPro trainee Sentaro Motoshima was given plenty of chances to do stuff in the ring today. At the start of the show he had a five minute exhibition match with Ken Ohka. The intent of the match was to last the full five minutes so it continued even though Ohka made Motoshima submit to a Crab Hold halfway through. Ohka criticised Motoshima after the match by telling him he did no good and has to try harder. Yumehito Imanari joined in and told Motoshima he is taking his debut match set for 26th August for granted which means he is also underestimating GanPro as a whole. Imanari then decided that Motoshima would have an exhibition match with him at the end of the show!

The bonus exhibition did go ahead after the FREEDOMS team made their exit. Imanari attacked Motoshima with a chair leading to them fighting out in the crowd. Back in the ring Motoshima escaped from a Crab Hold and kept Imanari back with Dropkicks until the time expired. The bell rang but the two continued fighting for another two minutes. When they finally stopped, Imanari asked the audience if they could understand Motoshima’s feelings and if he deserves to have make his pro debut? The audience applauded his efforts. Imanari told him pro wrestling is tough and scares him because he has seen so many people get injured but the determination to overcome those fears is why he is here with Ohka supporting GanPro. For the last 12 years they’ve been waiting for a guy like Motoshima to join them. Ohka confirmed the debut is going ahead and he advised the trainee never to forget to be grateful to the fans.

During the show Michiyoshi Mishima announced more matches for the 26th August Korakuen Hall show. MAO is coming to GanPro to team with Fuminori Abe & Tyson Maeguchi to take on Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Takuya Wada. Also the Ganbare☆Joshi match for the show will be Yuna Manase & YuuRI Vs Moeka Haruhi & Hanako Nakamori.

GanPro also announced that their next Korakuen show after August will be on 27th December.

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~GYUTAN~” Results

August 10, 2025

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~GYUTAN~”, 10/08/2025
Miyagi Yume Messe Miyagi
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Yukio Naya defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with The World’s Best Back Drop (8:19).
2. 2 Vs 1 Handicap Match: Kazuki Hirata defeated Danshoku Dieno & Akito when Hirata submitted Akito after Akito was unable to withstand his face being touched by Dieno (9:06).
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul defeated HARASHIMA, Makoto Oishi & Aero Boy when Okatani pinned Oishi with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (11:55).
4. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere 4 Way Match: Yuya Koroku defeated Ilusion, Takeshi Masada and Kazuma Sumi when Koroku pinned Sumi with the Moonsault Press (7:13).
*Yuya Koroku wins the Green Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Arm Cover.
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Iino & Yuki Ishida defeated Jun Akiyama, Chris Brookes & Daichi Sato when Higuchi submitted Sato with the Claw (13:25).
6. MAO 10th Anniversary Match Vol. 1 ~ Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Yuki Ueno & To-y when MAO pinned To-y with a Running Palm Strike (21:01).

The first part of MAO’s 10th Anniversary celebrations began in his hometown of Miyagi. He promised the locals he will become Miyagi’s Shikaku Hero and bring the square ring back to the city’s square venue on 14th December. Yuki Ueno had fun fighting MAO and KANON again but To-y promised next time he will turn MAO from a square into a triangle shaped mess! He also threatened to hurt KIMIHIRO during the match which led to KIMIHIRO sneaking in an Apron Dropkick to Ueno later in the match.

After winning the first two prelim matches in their series, Kazusada Higuchi is not taking the results for granted. He feels like his team only beat Jun Akiyama’s team by a hair’s breadth today. Daichi Sato took responsibility for the loss. He said he wanted to win the match by himself in front of Akiyama but ended up submitting to Higuchi’s Claw Hold. Akiyama is learning from the matches though and warns Higuchi he can see his moves clearly now.

The second Right To Challenge Arm Cover was won by Yuya Koroku after he was the last man standing in the 4 Way Match. He wants to keep his focus on the DDT Extreme Title match with To-y first so he will think carefully about what will come next.

Match #2 was changed a couple of times because Gorgeous Matsuno was unable to appear at the show. He had fever symptoms so the match was going to be turned into a 3 Way Match. However Kazuki Hirata currently has a Right To Challenge Arm Cover so Danshoku Dieno & Akito agreed to team up and have a 2 Vs 1 Handicap Match instead. Hirata escaped with a lucky win when Dieno was knocked down sitting on Akito’s face while giving Hirata a Lip Lock. Akito couldn’t take having Dieno’s exposed backside pressing down on his face so he gave up and since Dieno was on his team that meant Hirata was the winner!

DDT “YOKOHAMERMAID” Results

August 9, 2025

DDT “YOKOHAMERMAID”, 09/08/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki defeated Takeshi Masada with the Aoki Clutch (7:21).
2. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere 3 Way Match: Kazuki Hirata defeated Danshoku Dieno and Super Sasadango Machine when Hirata pinned Dieno with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (13:27).
*Kazuki Hirata wins the Yellow Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Arm Cover.
3. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Daichi Sato with the Somato (9:41).
4. Named By Kazuki Hirata “I’m Koroku” Rule: Chris Brookes & Yuya Koroku defeated Yuki Ueno & To-y when Koroku submitted To-y with the Modified Triangle Lancer (12:29).
5. Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida defeated Jun Akiyama & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Higuchi submitted Matsunaga with the Claw (9:22).
6. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Minoru Suzuki & Akito when MAO pinned Akito with a Gedo Clutch (14:16).
7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion (c) defeated Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi when Okatani pinned Sumi with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (20:42).
*V4 for DAMNATION T.A.

The two and a half heavyweight challengers tried using their size to take the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles from DAMNATION T.A. by stacking up on each other. But they didn’t think it through so Kazuma Sumi tried and failed to piggyback Yuki Iino and Yukio Naya over his shoulders. MJ Paul then pulled the referee out of the ring when Naya had Choke Slammed Hideki Okatani. With the ref down, Daisuke Sasaki started attacking the other team with a chair and Ilusion gave them Low Blows too. The Apex figured out how to stack themselves up properly by having Iino piggyback Naya and Sumi stand on top of them for a dive. Unfortunately Sumi missed and despite trying to use the School Boy for a last gasp victory, he ended up getting pinned by Okatani with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster.

After the match Okatani taunted The Apex by telling them to train more for the KO-D Tag Team Titles match at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025”. Sasaki said that won’t matter because he and Okatani will surpass them through sheer talent alone. He then had an announcement to make about “CHARISMANIAxMANIAxMANIA” on 2nd October. The main event is going to be Sasaki & El Desperado taking on Shuji Ishikawa & Antonio Honda! Two years after Sasaki and Desperado fought each other in DDT, they now want to team up!

A trickster to the end, MAO was involved in one of the more creative match finishes of the year. He tried to pin Akito with the Japanese Leg Roll Clutch but Minoru Suzuki blocked it and put him in the Sleeper Hold. KANON broke that up and knocked Suzuki into MAO back to back. From there MAO gave Suzuki a Backslide Pin while applying the Gedo Clutch to Akito, pinning both of them for the win. With this victory MAO believes he is now the only person who can take the DDT Universal Title back from Suzuki. However Suzuki has now sworn to kill him at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025”!

Kazusada Higuchi is looking forward to defending the KO-D Openweight Title against Jun Akiyama. He sees it as his chance to get revenge for failing to take the title from Akiyama back in 2021. Akiyama said he may have lost today’s prelim match but he got to have a good look at Higuchi. They still have a few more weeks to go until the match so Akiyama hopes he and Higuchi will stay in good condition until then.

The DDT Extreme Title exists to be an avenue for wrestlers to be at their most creative. To-y is expecting Yuya Koroku to come up with an idea crazy enough to make their upcoming title bout exciting. Today Koroku tested his idea out by applying “I Am Koroku” rules (Kazuki Hirata came up with the name) to his tag match against To-y. The rule was a total pinfall count of 20 was needed to win the match alongside the other usual ways. However Koroku ended up winning the match by submission instead. To-y complained that the rules never said that but Koroku defended himself by explaining he never said pinfall was the only way to win. Since To-y is the champion he gets to pick the rules for the title match. He announced them on social media after the show. From now until the day of the show, he and Koroku will receive one life point for every social media post they make that reaches over 10,000 impressions. During the match itself every one count pinfall, rope break and getting thrown out of the ring will take away a Life Point until the loser is reduced to zero.

The first Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere prize was up for grabs. This year the prizes are represented with different color Arm Covers. However the first match featured wrestlers who were all hesitant to win for one reason or another. It turns out Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine and Kazuki Hirata all do not want to deal with the pressure of holding the title shot that they could lose before cashing it in. Hisaya Imabayashi pleaded with them to take the match seriously so they did. Hirata won the match and couldn’t help but feel fired up over it. He now expects to get beaten up more than usual while building up anticipation for when he will cash in his KO-D Title shot. If he loses it before then he will only be disappointing everyone so he promised to keep it like it was part of his costume.

DDT began the show with a 10 bell salute dedicated to the late Tomohiko Hashimoto. He passed away at 47 years old from liver cancer on 5th August.

6. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Miu Watanabe defeated Haru Kazashiro with the Reverse Paradox (12:56).
7. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Yuki Arai defeated Wakana Uehara with the Scorpion Death Lock (9:39).
8. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Arisu Endo defeated Miyu Yamashita with the Ju no Okite (12:30).
9. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Shoko Nakajima defeated Mizuki with the Diving Senton (18:30).

Eight gets whittled down to four as the Tokyo Princess Cup went through the Quarter Finals today. In the main event it was champion against champion as Mizuki fought Shoko Nakajima. It was their first singles match against each other since the 2020 Princess Cup Final but they were both prepared for each other. Nakajima was able to prevent the Cutie Special from happening but Mizuki also knew when to block the 619 with a Dropkick. However Nakajima was persistent with the move and eventually found her mark with it. She also fought to lock in the Unmanned Local Train Hold but Mizuki got out of it with a rope break. She then got to do the Cutie Special from the top rope as a counter for Nakajima planning a top rope Hurricanrana. But Nakajima took over and used her signature moves one after the other before pinning Mizuki with the Diving Senton. After the match Nakajima told Mizuki the next time they have a singles match she will be wearing the Princess Of Princess Title at the end of it. Backstage Mizuki said she wants to get revenge for this loss so she hopes Nakajima wins the tournament to set up a rematch with the Princess Title on the line. In fact, she is willing to give her a title shot even if Nakajima doesn’t win the Cup.

The unexpected upset of the Quarter Finals… wait can it really be called unexpected? Maybe Miyu Yamashita finally winning the Princess Cup in 2023 and skipping the 2024 tournament made some fans forget the Cup has historically been Yamashita’s Achilles heel throughout her entire career. Well today was her rude awakening because Arisu Endo knocked her out in the Quarter Finals! Endo tried to make a gameplan around using her mobility to disrupt Yamashita’s moves but that didn’t work. Instead she had to rely on her guts and take every kick her opponent threw at her. Soon she was able to read Yamashita’s attacks but Yamashita fired back by escaping the Camel Clutch to give Endo a German Suplex. Endo was able to withstand more strikes and used a Waterwheel Drop to throw Yamashita into the turnbuckles. Endo then stunned her with a Super Kick and used the Ju no Okite to get the upset victory. Endo said she was flooded with memories of the past as soon as this match was announced. She remembered feeling helpless against Yamashita in their early singles matches and also remembered Yamashita directly beating her to take the Princess Tag Team Titles. But the Endo that is here today could not have existed without that past. She owes a lot to Yamashita because whenever they fight, Endo finds a passion she never knew she had coming out and it gets her super fired up. Yamashita was frustrated over the loss but she tells herself she’ll just need to switch her focus. She wanted to fight Rika Tatsumi in the tournament this year but Tatsumi was eliminated in the first round so none of Yamashita’s Princess Cup dreams came true this year.

Yuki Arai isn’t wasting time climbing her way back to getting another Princess Title shot. She also continues to have the upper hand on Wakana Uehara whenever they face each other. Uehara was softened up with Big Boots but she got to do a Brainbuster to set up the Banana Pillow. Arai reached the ropes but took enough damage that she couldn’t pin Uehara straight away after doing the Full Nelson Buster. Uehara went for a series of roll ups, ending with a Jackknife Pin to try and win the same way she did in Round 1. However Arai caught Uehara by the legs and turned her over into the Scorpion Death Lock, keeping it locked in until Uehara gave up. Arai said Uehara’s growth since last year’s tournament has been incredible. She wonders if they will face each other again at next year’s Princess Cup to make it three years in a row. Arai hopes she will win if that does happen. Uehara is disappointed she lost to Arai again but she is proud of the progress she has made. If Uehara can’t be the centre of attention this year then she will support Arai to go all the way instead.

The power of Miu Watanabe was just too overwhelming for Haru Kazashiro to handle. From Backbreakers to Batting Hammers to Power Slams, Watanabe broke her opponent off piece by piece. Kazashiro found some moments to fight back by targeting Watanabe’s arms but soon she found herself being spun around in a Front Neck Lock Giant Swing. Once Watanabe put her into the Reverse Paradox, it was all over for Kazashiro. Watanabe said she could sense how fired up Kazashiro was for this match and she will continue to grow even more from here. While Kazashiro acknowledges her improvement from last year’s tournament, she still doesn’t feel like she has caught up yet. She sees this match as an important milestone and her last summer as a high school student isn’t over yet.

A few hours after the show was finished, TJPW held the draw to set up the semi final pairings. Rise Shirai watched over the proceedings and the matches happening on 17th August are Shoko Nakajima Vs Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai Vs Arisu Endo. Watanabe thinks Nakajima has been performing at full speed ever since she won the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title so she had to work hard against her recently. She would also like to face Arai in the final because it will be a first time singles match for them. Nakajima talked about how well received their recent match in Texas was but the praise doesn’t make up for her being the loser of the match. As far as Nakajima is concerned, this match feels like the final. Arai has made the semi finals before but wants to beat Endo so she can finally reach the final. Endo has noticed how often Arai is present for TJPW’s important moments lately. She has never beaten Arai but knows she’ll need to stop her unstoppable momentum in order to make it to the final. She has the confidence to do it after beating Yamashita today.

Today was Ivy Steele’s final match with Tokyo Joshi Pro before she returns home to England. She has spent a year in Japan as part of a cultural program with her university back in Great Britain. She walked down to the ring with Kira Summer carrying both the British flag and Australian flag. She put Toga in the Vines Of Ivy submission hold but Chika Nanase broke it up. Summer threw Nanase aside with a Back Body Drop but Steele ended up getting pinned by Toga’s Rock Bottom. Backstage Steele said she was happy her last TJPW match was with people she loves but it’s a shame she wasn’t able to win. Summer suggested since they lost that means Steele will have to come back to Japan so she can get her win back. Steele pointed out she and Toga have a 1-1 singles record against each other. So don’t treat this as a goodbye, it is more see you later.

Pom Harajuku sat out in the front row for the beginning of the 3 Way Match because she wanted to see fireworks between Yuki Kamifuku and HIMAWARI. She eventually got involved but kept demanding the other two jump in the air like they were fireworks blowing up. HIMAWARI was happy to join in but Kamifuku wasn’t. When she was finally convinced to give it a go, Kamifuku was suddenly attacked by the other two and the match proceeded as normal.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HYPER MISAO PRODUCE ~ HYPE! 3 (RERUN)” Results

August 5, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HYPER MISAO PRODUCE ~ HYPE! 3 (RERUN) ~MY UNIVERSE~”, 05/08/2025
Tokyo Kitazawa Town Hall
128 Fans

-. Shoko Domanakajima (Shoko Nakajima), Shinogono Suzuki (Shino Suzuki) & Mahrio Kiryunen (Mahiro Kiryu) defeated Haruchi (Haru Kazashiro), Ra-chan (Raku) and Suzumebachi (Suzume) when Domanakajima pinned Haruchi with the Student Council Bomber (?:??).
-. Shoko Domanakajima (Shoko Nakajima), Shinogono Suzuki (Shino Suzuki) & Mahrio Kiryunen (Mahiro Kiryu) defeated Sika-sensai (Rika Tatsumi) & Toga Amasawa (Toga) when Domanakajima pinned Amasawa with the Student Council Bomber (?:??).
-. Shoko Domanakajima (Shoko Nakajima) & Yuki Koino (Yuki Aino) defeated Urahime (Uta Takami), Shinogono Suzuki (Shino Suzuki) & Mahrio Kiryunen (Mahiro Kiryu) when Domanakajima pinned Urahime with the Student Council Bomber (?:??).
1. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno defeated Yuki Aino with a Shoulder Block (9:35).

Haven’t we done this already? We have! But the first performance of “HYPE! 3 ~MY UNIVERSE~” back in June did not turn out to be the complete vision Hyper Misao had for the show. She wasn’t in the right frame of mind at the time which led to her making some decisions she wished she could go back on. So a second performance was put together and it took place today. The story is largely identical to the first performance with two major differences to focus on. For the sake of saving space I’m only going to include the new parts here. You can click on the link at the start of this paragraph to read the story as it went the first time around and work in the new stuff from there.

The scene with HIMAWARI and Tetsuya Koda that explains the power of the ring bell was extended to include Miyu Yamashita and Hisaya Imabayashi. In the scene HIMAWARI and Ms. X-shita (Yamashita) were two joshi wrestlers on a double date with Koda and Imabayashi but the men were acting like know-it-all jerks (they think pro wrestling is rigged!). So Yamashita intimidated the men by crushing an apple with her bare hand right in front of them and then dumping the remains into a beer mug that Chika Nanase served them. HIMAWARI then scared them off by hitting the ring bell.

The other big changes are for the finale. The end of the story gets rushed through because it’s running behind schedule so Yuki Koino (Yuki Aino) cuts off Urahime (Uta Takami) before Urahime could ask if she can join the Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling Academy. The story ends there and Misao walks out as planned to reveal what was going on. However this time the video explaining what happened is different.

The incident where a mystery man in black abducted Misao actually did happen which also meant Misao and Aino really did swap bodies! During the intermission Misao (in Aino’s body) found found Aino (in Misao’s body) next to the side of the road with no memory of what happened after the abduction. They focused their attention back to the show where Misao told Aino that she is the main character and is getting an important wrestling match for the final act. Aino saw who her opponent was in the script and objected because she has no connection to this person. However Misao convinced her to do it. They then accidentally bumped heads again, causing them to return to their normal bodies. However the bump also knocked out Misao so Aino had to go run the rest of the show by herself. With that out of the way it was now time for Aino’s big match. Aino said the story getting a happy ending was good enough so it would be fine if nobody watches the match. In fact she admits doesn’t want to go through with it. Misao explained she wants to see Aino be the main character because she can do it even without the need for preparation. The match Misao came up was the entire reason this show was put together in the first place!

To set the scene everyone went back to the final moments of the story. Urahime was defeated but instead of asking to join the Academy she instead swore she wouldn’t give up. She would instead reveal her true self! She collapses, the room goes dark and suddenly Urahime transforms into Danshoku Dieno! The Student Council tried to attack him but he fought them all off, leaving just Yuki Koino as the last one in his way. The Student Council called on her to fight but she couldn’t find the courage until Dieno asked her what her true feelings are? Aino said she doesn’t get excited to fight when she gets provoked. When she fights she wants to confront her opponent with her true desire to win so everyone from the wrestlers to the fans will be fired up. After listening to her answer, Dieno told Aino that in this moment he wants to crush her more than he wants to crush Hiroshi Tanahashi! Aino now wanted to use all her strength to beat Dieno and agreed to do the match in order to make everyone who came to the show happy.

The match went ahead with a complete presentation, entrances and ring introductions included. Dieno shrugged off a Shoulder Block and gave Aino a Brainbuster right away. Aino tried fighting back with Elbow Strikes but she would just get slammed down and put in submission holds in response. She would finally get going by countering a Vertical Drop Brainbuster into a Back Body Drop. From there she would get more offence in and get a nearfall with the Venus DDT. Dieno took back control and gave Aino the Danshoku Driver but she kicked out of it! Dieno then gave Aino several Shoulder Blocks, one for every time she stood back up. He then did a Superplex and left Aino laying so the ref could count her out. Aino struggled to get up so Dieno shouted her words of encouragement. When she made it to her feet to break the 10 count, Dieno hugged her and then hit another Shoulder Block. That one kept Aino down and Dieno pinned her for the win.

After the match Dieno said if this is Aino’s way of life they everyone should watch it closely. He heard about her story to become a wrestler. She trained hard but suffered a neck injury before her debut so she gave up. But she missed being in the ring so she came back. She also came back to be with an older sister that she trusts but the sister ended up taking a different path. In this life working hard doesn’t necessarily mean you will get rewarded for it. But at least here in Tokyo Joshi Pro people will come to see you do that hard work. There’s no other wrestling company in the world that puts on a show like this so Dieno told Aino she should be proud of that. He promised he will go on to crush Tanahashi as if Aino is a part of Dieno. The two then gave each other a fist bump.

Aino asked Misao if she saw what she wanted to see? Misao thanked her for showing something that went beyond her imagination, going so far it was like going into space. Misao told the audience that Aino Vs Dieno was the match she originally wanted to do for the first performance but Aino wanted to wrestle her instead. She was happy with how that turned out but still really wanted to put the other match together which is why the second performance was set up on one month’s notice. Misao thanked everyone involved for successfully getting today’s show over the finish line. The show ended with the catchphrase “I get HYPE! We get HYPE!”…

… Except we got a little stinger right at the very end. When the credits finished rolling the mystery man in black appeared on the screen with a message to give everyone. “It seems you all know too much about the secrets of space and pro wrestling.” He then rang the ring bell to erase everyone’s memories.

DDT And TJPW Results From The GCW Japan 2025 Tour

August 4, 2025

Originally I was only going to write a little bit about GCW’s latest tour of Japan in my monthly DDT Around The World series because there was only a handful of DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro talent taking part and not even on every show. However plans changed when Masha Slamovich and Microman were both unable to travel to Japan, opening spots up for DDT and TJPW wrestlers to get booked for the shows on short notice. So since there was a lot more to write about, I had to put them in their own post.

GCW “GCW JAPAN 2025 AT SHINJUKU FACE”, 28/07/2025
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans

1. GCW Tag Team Titles: Alec Price & Jordan Oliver (c) defeated Effy & Dark Sheik when Price pinned Sheik after a Flapjack/Facecrusher Combo (11:48).
*V12 for YDNP.
2. Drew Parker defeated Shotzi Blackheart with the Swanton Bomb (6:48).
3. Jeffrey John defeated Kikutaro with the Pedigree (10:06).
4. MAO defeated Atticus Cogar after a Super Kick/Praying Mantis Bomb Combo with Drew Parker (12:38).
5. Kazusada Higuchi defeated 1 Called Manders with the Claw Slam (14:01).
6. GCW Ultraviolent Title: Matt Tremont (c) defeated Super Crazy with the Death Valley Driver onto a Table (12:07).
*V16 for Matt Tremont.

GCW put together an inter-promotional champion versus champion match. 1 Called Manders was supposed to face Slamovich for the JCW World Title but that match was cancelled. Instead Manders brought along the wXw Unified World Wrestling Title to fight Kazusada Higuchi, the reigning KO-D Openweight Champion in a non-title bout. The two made sure to beat the hell out of each other including a moment at ringside where Higuchi Suplexed Manders onto the exposed floor. The damage done prevented Manders from doing a Gutwrench move later in the match, allowing Higuchi to take over with the Doctor Bomb. But Manders got right back up, Chopped Higuchi in the stomach and pulled off the Gutwrench Suplex on the next attempt. A back and forth series of Chops and Headbutts led to Higuchi reaching out for the Claw Hold but Manders bit his hand instead. A big Lariat from Manders got a two count but Higuchi rocked him back with his own Lariat and used the Claw Slam to get the win. After the match Manders offered to hand the KO-D Title back to Higuchi as a show of respect. Higuchi decided to do the same with the wXw Title.

Opposite attitudes clashed in the ring when MAO fought Atticus Cogar one on one. MAO came into the match wearing shades and a bright orange shirt for the summer while Cogar was all business with no time for dealing with his opponent’s nonsense. When MAO wiggled his way around a Waist Lock, Cogar pulled out his bundle of skewers. The ref took the skewers off him but Cogar pulled another bundle later in the match and threatened the ref when they were taken off him again. MAO ran in to try and stop Atticus but he missed a Big Boot and accidentally knocked the ref out instead! Cogar successfully jabbed MAO in the head with the skewers and then attack him with a chair. Then he suddenly pulled out a dart and was about to stab MAO with it when Drew Parker ran into the ring and stopped him. MAO and Parker then teamed up on Cogar, giving him a Super Kick/Praying Mantis Bomb Combo. MAO was able to pin him while the revived ref counted to three.

GCW “GCW JAPAN 2025 AT TOKYO SQUARE”, 29/07/2025
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi
??? Fans

1. Shota defeated Jeffrey John with a School Boy (8:17).
2. Hideyoshi Kamitani defeated 1 Called Manders with a Back Drop (11:29).
3. MAO, Alec Price & Jordan Oliver defeated Miyu Yamashita, Dark Sheik & Shotzi Blackheart when Price pinned Sheik after a Double Impaler DDT (15:19).
4. Atticus Cogar defeated Drew Parker with the Headlock Driver (8:32).
5. GCW World Title: Effy (c) defeated Abdullah Kobayashi with the Diving Sack Rider (14:34).
*V25 for Effy.
6. GCW Ultraviolent Title: Matt Tremont (c) defeated Masashi Takeda with the Death Valley Driver into a box of Lighttubes (12:07).
*V17 for Matt Tremont.

Slamovich’s absence meant Miyu Yamashita was called in to team with Dark Sheik & Shotzi Blackheart. As for their opponents, you already have Alec Price & Jordan Oliver as YDNP so add MAO to the mix and you get YDNPM (Young Dumb ‘N Price MAO)! Yamashita hit Price with the Skull Kick at one point but Price got one back on her by hitting a Rebound Lariat. MAO then took out Yamashita & Blackheart with a Quebrada outside the ring into the aisleway. YDNP then finished Sheik off with a Double Impaler DDT for the victory.

GCW “GCW JAPAN 2025 AT KORAKUEN HALL”, 30/07/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
??? Fans

1. GCW Tag Team Titles: Alec Price & Jordan Oliver (c) defeated MAO & Rina Yamashita when Price pinned Yamashita after the Double Impaler DDT (?:??).
*V13 for YDNP.
2. Atticus Cogar defeated Miyu Yamashita with the Headlock Driver (?:??).
3. Dark Sheik, Yoshihiko & Jeffrey John defeated Invisible Stan, Shota & Kikutaro when Sheik pinned Shota with the Diving Leg Drop (?:??).
4. Jun Akiyama defeated 1 Called Manders with the Wrist-Clutch Exploder Suplex (?:??).
5. Maki Itoh defeated Shotzi Blackheart with a Crab Hold (12:29).
6. Chris Brookes defeated Drew Parker with two Praying Mantis Bombs (23:16).
7. GCW World Title: Effy (c) defeated Matt Tremont with the Diving Sack Rider onto the Chairs (21:34).
*V26 for Effy.

One of the big matches of the finale in Korakuen Hall was Chris Brookes being in the ring again with Drew Parker. This was the first match together in over two years after Parker left Japan to return home. Parker was busted open early when they brawled up the aisleway and Brookes rammed a table into his face. Parker knocked Brookes onto the table then fought off Takeshi Masada who was there as a cornerman. He had Bunbun with him so Parker grabbed Bunbun, climbed the nearby entrance and did a Diving Body Press to Brookes through the table! Brookes later did a Diving Senton to Parker sending both of them crashing into a stack of plastic boxes in the ring. After a long hard fought battle Brookes started giving Parker different kinds of Piledrivers. There was a Tombstone, then a Snap Piledriver, then a top rope Praying Mantis Bomb. Parker kept kicking out though and tried to show whatever defiance he still had left in him. Brookes then gave him two more Praying Mantis Bombs and Parker was finally down for the three count. The two embraced after the match.

Maki Itoh took part in last year’s GCW tour with a hand injury so in a kind of funny turn of events she took on Shotzi Blackheart who was going through the same thing for this year’s tour. At one point during the match Itoh went into the crowd because she noticed Shoko Nakajima and Miu Watanabe sitting on the bleachers as spectators. Back in the ring there was a strike exchange with Itoh no selling strikes to the head while Blackheart no sold Low Blows. When Blackheart got the upper hand, Itoh pulled out a pizza cutter and attacked her with it. Blackheart went for a Running Knee Strike but Itoh rolled her over into a Crab Hold, increasing the pressure until Blackheart gave up.

If anyone had a hard hitting three days of wrestling it was Manders. His third and final singles match of a tour was a dream come true for him because he got to fight Jun Akiyama. Much like the Higuchi match, both men hit and slammed each other as hard as they could until one reached their limit. That happened when Akiyama gave Manders the Wrist-Clutch Exploder Suplex. Manders gave Akiyama the horns up hand sign after the match and Akiyama replied in kind.

Throughout the tour a grudge developed between Jeffrey John and Kikutaro. It led to Kikutaro costing John a match against Shota and then brought Dark Sheik into the picture to even the playing field. Kikutaro was meant to fight Dark Sheik & Yoshihiko on this show with Microman as his partner. Plans changed so he decided to call in the big guns and invite Invisible Stan to team with him and Shota! Stan’s biggest impact in the match was to do the Korakuen balcony dive onto everyone down below! Back in the ring John landed a Plancha to Kikutaro, Yoshihiko gave Shota a Tornado DDT and Sheik then pinned him with the Diving Leg Drop.

The match Yamashita was scheduled to take part in was a singles bout with Atticus Cogar. Nowadays whenever Yamashita takes part in GCW she gets more and more into the wilder wrestling style of the company compared to TJPW. The same was seen here when she briefly stopped Cogar from using a chair by kicking it apart! The frame was still in one piece so it remained to be used as a weapon by both. Cogar pulled out the skewers but it was Yamashita who jabbed them into his head rather than the other way around! However Cogar recovered and gave her the Air Raid Crash. Yamashita kicked out of it but Cogar immediately rolled it into the Headlock Driver to win the match.

MAO and YDNP became opponents for the final show of the tour. The opening match was a GCW Tag Team Titles bout with MAO joining up with Rina Yamashita as Slamovich’s replacement to challenge the champions. They came close to winning when MAO hit a Frog Splash and Yamashita did a Diving Body Press on Price but Oliver made it in time to break the pin. MAO ran up the corner to do a Jumping Cutter but Price cut him off in midair with a Super Kick. With MAO out of the picture, YDNP were then able to beat Yamashita with the Double Impaler DDT.
