A press conference was held between the wrestlers participating in the inter-promotional match between Tokyo Joshi Pro and Ganbare☆Pro. Both Nao Kakuta and Yuna Manase want their teams to put on an exciting match fitting for Sumo Hall. It is the first time Kakuta really feels like she is part of TJPW and she wants to show Manase she is not the same person she was back in Actwres girl’Z. The other members of Team TJPW shared their thoughts. Mahiro Kiryu is keeping her eyes open at the rest of Team Ganpro because she doesn’t know much about them. She does like mahjong though so she wants to win with a high score. Haruna Neko wants to do everything she can as a cat and will scratch everyone. Kaya Toribami admits to being the least experienced girl on the team but reminds everyone that her mask is based on the most ferocious bird in the world, the cassowary. She will learn from her opponents to become strong and deserving of wearing the mask.
The members of Ganbare☆Joshi then spoke. YuuRI is glad to wrestle in Sumo Hall where she discovered pro wrestling in the first place. HARUKAZE described how Ganpro picked her up and gave her friends so the company is an important family to her. She wants to make the name of Ganpro known to everyone. Moeka Haruhi called Manase the Sun of Ganpro while she is the Rainbow. When Manase challenged TJPW in the first place, everyone in Ganjo decided to join her. Just don’t miss the rainbow while you’re busy looking at the sun. Manase wanted her team to show more energy so they started chanting “Ganjo!” over and over. Kakuta told them the blue flame is hotter than the red flame which is why Team TJPW are staying calm in response to them. Manase then gave a passionate rant about wanting their match to have so much heat behind it. The conference ended with a fist bump between the team captains.
Two special guest ring announcers will be at the show. The “Anime Idol Chick” Minami Momochi was Tokyo Joshi’s ring announcer for the first four years of the promotion. Kero Tanaka is the famous ring announcer from the 1980s and 1990s who has worked with TJPW before at some of their previous Ittenyon shows. They will each announce one or two matches on the day.

9. KO-D Openweight Title – Japan Bakery Marketing Presents: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo
Yesterday the celebrity couple of LiLiCo & Ryohei Odai were hard at work training with Akito for LiLiCo’s retirement match. Odai isn’t in shape and had trouble even stretching during the warmups. He then got back pain from running the ropes. Meanwhile LiLiCo had no trouble training for wrestling again and worked out how to move around the ring without putting stress on her injured knees. Akito then put together some double team moves with LiLiCo before setting up an extreme training exercise. He stripped down to his O-back and went into the Hell Gate position on the corner. He explained they need to get used to having their faces thrown into another person’s ass because that is what Pheromones like to do. Suddenly Pheromones themselves appeared and attacked Akito, stripping him naked! Odai couldn’t help because of his back pain and he collapsed with LiLiCo when they tried the double team attack they learned. Pheromones left after a confrontation with LiLiCo where they said they will see her at Sumo Hall. Akito told Odai to train his hips more while LiLiCo promised to win using the love between a husband and wife!
GANBARE☆PRO “FIFTH ELEMENT 2022”, 26/03/2022 Shin-Kiba 1st RING
1. Ganjo Special 6-Woman Tag Match: Yuna Manase, HARUKAZE & YuuRI Vs Moeka Haruhi, Maya Yukihi & Ann Cham
2. ROMANCE DAWN Vs Wrestle Drunkers: Shota & Soma Takao Vs Keisuke Ishii & Tyson Maeguchi
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Tatsuhito Takaiwa (c) Vs Shinichiro Tominaga
The so-called strongest amateur pro wrestler in Japan Shinichiro Tominaga is the one who is challenging Tatsuhito Takaiwa next. Takaiwa is trying to raise the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title‘s prestige up to the highest level in Japan and fighting somebody on the level on Tominaga will not help him. However he sees potential in the guy and if Tominaga can live up to that potential it may not be a waste of time after all.
The bond between Keisuke Ishii & Tyson Maeguchi has grown stronger after they fought each other. They want to continue wrestling together as tag partners and opponents so it looks like Wrestle Drunkers are here to stay!
Irie is booked for the show but it will depend on how quickly he recovers from covid. Nobuhiro Shimatani is also advertised to appear.
GANBARE☆PRO “MERCURY RISING 2022”, 06/03/2022 Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall 105 Fans
1. Nippon Ganbare Union To Become AAAW Tag Team Champions: Yuna Manase & YuuRI defeated Cherry & Sayaka when Manase pinned Sayaka with the Suzuki Dynamic (9:28).
2. Ganpro Mixed Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Moeka Haruhi defeated Yumehito Imanari & HARUKAZE when Haruhi pinned HARUKAZE with the Foot Stomp (10:50).
3. Tiger & Tiger Vs Power Of Nobu: Kouki Iwasaki & Nobuhiro Shimatani defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Mizuki Watase when Shimatani pinned Katsumura with a Jackknife Pin (17:44).
4. Special Single Match – Wrestle Drunker Vs Punch Drunker: Keisuke Ishii defeated Tyson Maeguchi with the Throwaway Tiger Suplex (9:20).
5. Takaiwa Army Vs Ganpro Full-Scale Battle: Shota, Soma Takao & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Tatsuhito Takaiwa, 5th Black Tiger & Kenya Maeda when Tominaga pinned Maeda with the Moonsault Press (14:50).
A new challenger has stepped forth for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title. The “amateur” himself Shinichiro Tominaga picked up the win in the main event and threw out the challenge to Tatsuhito Takaiwa. The match will be the Strongest Super Dragon against the Strongest Amateur! Takaiwa wants to raise the title’s prestige to match those from the IWGP and GHC brands so it should not be fought for by amateurs. However he accepted Tominaga’s challenge in the hopes that Tominaga will improve and fight him with full determination. The title match will take place on 26th March at Shin-Kiba 1st RING.
Both Keisuke Ishii and Tyson Maeguchi are buzzing after their match against each other. Whether it’s as a tag team or as opponents, Ishii wants to continue wrestling with the ex-kickboxer. Maeguchi would prefer they stay as opponents so they can have more exciting matches against each other.
Ken Ohka has picked a fight with ChocoPro! Last week he made an unexpected appearance at one of their shows challenging Baliyan Akki for the Super Asia Title and left him laying with the Spear Of Fire. Akki showed up at Ganbare☆Pro today to confront Ohka over his actions. He said that person isn’t the hungry Ken Ohka he knew when he wrestled for Ganpro years ago. If that person doesn’t show up at Ichigaya Chocolate Square on 12th March then he won’t have a chance to win the title. Ohka knows the deal. He is going to ChocoPro on his own with no backup so he cannot mess up this opportunity! The two got into a fight and Mizuki Watase broke them up. He told Ohka afterwards he is defending Ganpro’s honour in this fight so he must not lose.
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.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2022 WINTER”, 05/03/2022 Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall 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).
3. Hikari Noa & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Noa pinned Harajuku with the Blizzard Suplex (8:50).

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.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2022 WINTER”, 05/03/2022 Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
1. Nao Kakuta & Kaya Toribami Vs Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko
2. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao Vs Yuki Aino Vs Arisu Endo
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Hikari Noa Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
4. Nodoka Tenma Vs Marika Kobashi
5. Miyu Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Maki Itoh & Suzume Vs Shoko Nakajima, Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe, Yuki Arai & Moka Miyamoto
Tomorrow is kind of the go home show for “GRAND PRINCESS ’22”. There is also a fan club show happening on Sunday but that is usually just fun and games rather than anything serious. Not like Shoko Nakajima is going to beat Miyu Yamashita into a bloody mess to get some last minute heat on that show or anything like that.
DDT “JUDGEMENT 2022 TOUR IN OSAKA”, 13/03/2022 Osaka Suminoe Maikon Hall
1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuji Hino, Bodyguard & Yukio Naya
2. Osaka Specialty Special Single Match: Naomi Yoshimura Vs Chris Brookes
3. Maikon no Kohara Presents Special Survival Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & Toui Kojima Vs Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku
Hey, hey, hey, the Survival Tag Match is supposed to be Ganbare☆Pro’s gimmick! It’s a rule that works so well now DDT are giving it a go for The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING. The stipulation is both teams have four wrestlers and two are chosen to take part in a regular tag team match. When a wrestler is beaten, they are eliminated and get replaced with the next in line. When a team is reduced to one wrestler left they lose because they do not have enough members to do a tag match. So the first team to get three eliminations win. Over the top rope elimination rules are enforced too for this match.
One KO-D Tag Team Champion down, one to go. Chris Brookes has already beaten HARASHIMA so now he is taking on Naomi Yoshimura. You can bet Masahiro Takanashi will get involved again.
Kazuki Hirata returns from covid and has to make up for lost time preparing for his match against Jun Akiyama later this month. Throwing him in there against three heavyweights should move him along nicely. At least he has Eruption backing him up.
DDT “KOMINATO RAILWAY TRAIN PRO WRESTLING”, 02/04/2022 Kominato Railway Goi Station
Back in 2017 DDT held a pro wrestling match inside a moving train travelling from Nakanomachi to Ogawa. They are going to do it again this time partnering with Kominato Railway in Chiba. There will be three matches taking place on the day. One will be held inside a moving train leaving the Goi Station with 32 fans in attendance. The destination is Yoro Valley Station where a wrestling ring is set up for two more matches to begin there minutes after arrival.
Right now only Hiroshi Yamato is advertised to be involved with the DDT wrestlers to be announced. There is obviously fans hoping to see the train lover Raku be able to take part. However Tokyo Joshi Pro has a show going on in Ryogoku KFC Hall that same day at the same time so we have to wait and see where she can go.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 10/04/2022 Shin-Kiba 1st RING
1. Miyu Yamashita Vs Kaya Toribami
2. Yuka Sakazaki Vs Moka Miyamoto
3. Rika Tatsumi Vs Suzume
4. Marika Kobashi & Abdullah Kobayashi Vs SAKI & Antonio Honda
It’s a dream come true for Marika Kobashi! No seriously, it is. Abdullah Kobayashi is her favourite wrestler and part inspiration for her own ring name (The “Ko” in Kobashi refers to Kobayashi). SAKI returns to TJPW for the occasion but I don’t know if she has the same level of admiration for Antonio Honda.
BASARA “BASARA 188 ~GLITTER~”, 12/04/2022 Shin-Kiba 1st RING
Isami Kodaka is getting surgery on his jaw soon and will be out of action during most of April, including the monthly Shin-Kiba 1st RING show. He fractured the left side of his jaw back in 2018 wrestling a cage match against Masashi Takeda. The surgery here is to remove the material that was used to aid with recovery, which I guess is stuff like a plate and screws. His first match back in BASARA after the surgery is scheduled to be on 28th April.
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!
