TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION” Results

December 10, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 10/12/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
202 Fans

1. Mahiro Kiryu defeated Haruna Neko with the Spinebuster (7:50).
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated Pom Harajuku with a Cross Armbreaker (10:26).
3. Hardcore Match: Hikari Noa defeated Nao Kakuta with the Blizzard Suplex onto a Chair (17:14).
4. MagiRabi Vs TropicaWild: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated SAKI & Yuna Mizumori when Mizuki pinned Mizumori with the Diving Foot Stomp (17:35).

Inspiration is back for its third go around. This time it was The Magical Sugar Rabbits getting to explore outside the realms of Tokyo Joshi Pro for opponents. They defeated the TropicaWild team of SAKI & Yuna Mizumori. It was a reunion for Mizuki and SAKI because they started wrestling together as a team called Buribato♡. They hadn’t been in the ring together for the last four years until today. Yuka Sakazaki described the match as amazing and she felt it had the energy of a championship defence. SAKI also had fun with the match while Mizumori will never forgive herself if she never gets to wrestle MagiRabi again.

In a very rare sight the TJPW mat saw bloodshed when Hikari Noa and Nao Kakuta fought in a Hardcore Match. Noa was busted open midway through in a match where ladders, chairs, CDs and glow sticks were all used as weapons. But Noa toughed it out in her second ever Hardcore match and had her arm raised in victory at the end. Kakuta also expressed an interest in doing more hardcore matches but next time she wants to be teaming with Noa.

The match before that could not have been any more different. Pom Harajuku and Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi spent just as much time in the ring singing, dancing and meditating than they did wrestle each other. Playtime was cut off when Hiroshi threw Harajuku to the mat and locked in a Cross Armbreaker to submit her. Hiroshi still praised her and described her as a very strong martial artist.

The opening match was familiar fare for TJPW. Although it was a first time ever singles match between Mahiro Kiryu and Haruna Neko.

GANBARE☆PRO “YUMEHITO IMANARI PRODUCE ~GANBARE PRIME 2021~”, 10/01/2022

6. Hardcore Mixed Tag 1 DAY Tournament – Final: X & X Vs X & X

I should have expected Yumehito Imanari to bring back Pocchari Joshi for his produce show. Yuna Manase takes on Totoro Satsuki from Ice Ribbon. At least for now she is with Ice Ribbon. Not a lot of good news coming out of that place lately.

Hajime was once known as Hajime Nomura from WRESTLE-1. He switched over to an undead facepaint look right around the time W1 collapsed last year. He has since haunted the indie scene and will make his first appearance in Ganpro.


DDT “YUTO AIJIMA RETIREMENT SHOW ~YUTO FINAL ROAD~” Results

December 8, 2021

DDT “YUTO AIJIMA RETIREMENT SHOW ~YUTO FINAL ROAD~”, 08/12/2021
Fukuoka Omuta City 2nd Civic Gymnasium
500 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Saki Akai & Toui Kojima defeated Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yuki “Sexy” Iino and Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Akai pinned Hirata with the Quetzalcoatl (12:05).
2. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated Akito & Yuya Koroku when Paul pinned Koroku with the Death Valley Bomb (10:26).
3. Special Tag Match: Kazushi Miyamoto & Yuji Hino defeated Naomi Yoshimura & Hideki Okatani when Hino pinned Okatani with the Fuckin’ BOMB (15:13).
4. Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno & MAO defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Chris Brookes & Yukio Naya when Takeshita pinned Naya with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (13:17).
5. Yuto Aijima Retirement Match ~Yuto FINAL ROAD~: Jun Akiyama, Akitoshi Saito, Muhammad Yone & HARASHIMA defeated Yuto Aijima, Sanshiro Takagi, Mitsuya Nagai & Tetsuya Endo when HARASHIMA pinned Aijima with the Somato (20:29).

Omuta’s own Yuto Aijima called time on his 26 year long career in pro wrestling under a DDT banner. As expected for his retirement match, Aijima was pinned and defeated in the middle of the ring. HARASHIMA was the one to claim victory by beating Aijima but the rest of his team helped set it up. Muhammad Yone hit a Strong Elbow, Akitoshi Saito hit the Sickle Death, Jun Akiyama threw him over with the Exploder Suplex and HARASHIMA finished him off with the Somato.

For the retirement ceremony, Aijima was given speeches from everyone who was in the match along with bouquets from friends and family. Aijima also received video messages from Diablo & Kurokage who were members of a unit in Kyushu he was a part of called Black Justice. He then got more video messages this time from Kyohei Wada, Kenta Kobashi, Genichiro Tenryu and Toshiaki Kawada! Aijima said his final words at the end of the ceremony. From tomorrow he will return to being a normal uncle named Shunsuke Aijima. He thanked DDT, Mitsuya Nagai and the wrestlers from NOAH for coming to Omuta to wrestle today. He said he will continue to work behind the scenes so wrestling can continue in his rural town.

In other matters, Naomi Yoshimura got in the ring with Yuji Hino again as part of the build up to the next KO-D Tag Team Titles match. Hino was teaming with Kazushi Miyamoto instead of Bodyguard but it was still a wall too high for Yoshimura to climb. The positive thing Yoshimura got out of this match is he thinks his Chops are starting to break through Hino when they weren’t before.

Masahiro Takanashi is the next challenger for Daisuke Sasaki. It’s up to CDK to prove to DAMNATION T.A that he is deserving of the DDT Universal Title shot.

Hino and Yoshimura meeting here is definitely related to their upcoming KO-D Tag Titles match.

The full card for “NEVER MIND 2021 IN YOYOGI” is here. Yukio Sakaguchi’s return match is also Minoru Suzuki’s first time back in DDT in almost five years. But what does Suzuki have to do to take on Eruption? According to Maki Itoh it’s join the NEO Itoh Respect Army! We’ll take her word that he has joined the unit.

BURNING is the newest unit in DDT. The complete group of four led by Tetsuya Endo will have their first match together in Yoyogi. They are heading straight into the heat of things by going against The 37KAMIINA.

An unusual request was put out there by Super Sasadango Machine. He asked DDT to team with Shinya Aoki & Yumiko Hotta to take on Pheromones. According to Sasadango, he met up with Aoki to record a podcast and afterward Aoki admitted to him that he is in love with Hotta! Aoki grew up watching Hotta’s matches on the ATHENA TV show and never gave up hope that they would one day be together. That day finally came when Aoki defended the DDT Extreme Title against Hotta. It was the only time when Aoki felt at ease with another person. Sasadango wants the two of them to reunite under the lens of Yumehito Imanari’s camera. That is why he put together this match against Pheromones.

The dark matches will air live on DDT’s Youtube channel. Sanshiro Takagi is playing with fire here because his opponent is Maku Donaruto! He’s just daring Youtube to ban the channel at this point.

Tetsuya Endo’s New Unit Is BURNING!

December 7, 2021

Tetsuya Endo has officially formed his own unit! After weeks of planning and consideration, the project nicknamed Atsumare Entetsu no Mori has become a reality. Endo met with Kenta Kobashi again yesterday to put the final decisions together. Endo told Kobashi he wanted Yusuke Okada and Yuya Koroku to be part of the group but couldn’t find anyone to fill the chief advisor role like Kobashi recommended. Kobashi said the group on paper sounded weak so he invited somebody to meet with them. It was Jun Akiyama!

Kobashi said it would be interesting to see Endo & Akiyama team together because Endo needs an element that Akiyama provides to improve. They can still wrestle each other in singles matches, but Kobashi advised that they should be on the same side. Endo pointed out that he and Akiyama are complete opposites in wrestling style but he understands he can learn from him for that reason. Akiyama welcomes the idea of taking the advisor role and letting Endo be the unit leader. They can chase after many championships but Endo needs to be the one who says he will go after the KO-D Openweight Title. In this situation, Akiyama sees himself as the fierce dog who needs a master to rein him in otherwise he will bite everyone. Endo liked the idea and invited Akiyama to join him.

After the members were decided, all that was left was to name the new unit. Akiyama suggested The Beatles because Endo likes to collect beetles. Kobashi laughed and said that was no good. Endo then suggested calling themselves BURNING because he will be working with Akiyama. There was some resistance to the idea. Akiyama explained it has been used a few times which makes the name hard to establish. Also Kobashi’s association with the name is so strong that Endo will have to work really hard to cover for it. Endo claimed he is ready to do that and Kobashi gave him permission to use the name. Tetsuya Endo’s new unit is officially called BURNING!

This is the 4th Generation of BURNING. 1st Generation was in All Japan from 1998 to 2000. 2nd Generation was in NOAH throughout the 2000s. 3rd Generation was the 2012 exodus of talent from NOAH led by Akiyama jumping over to All Japan.

Nodoka Tenma And Marika Kobashi Graduating From TJPW Next Spring

December 6, 2021

Today it was announced that both Nodoka Tenma and Marika Kobashi will be graduating from Tokyo Joshi Pro next year. Tenma will leave the company on 26th March while Kobashi is finishing up on 17th April. Tenma’s graduation is a complete retirement from pro wrestling. Kobashi however says the possibility of a future return to the ring is not at zero percent.

Tenma had been thinking about her future around the time her family started growing their own rice and vegetables as a hobby. Over time it developed into Tenma wanting to get into agriculture and grow food for her hometown Okayama. She had talked to Tetsuya Koda and the company about her plans to retire and when the Sumo Hall show was announced for 19th March, she made it her final goal as a pro wrestler to be there. She still has things to do in wrestling such as her homecoming show in Okayama on 9th January so she will do her best for her final months. She also wants to make The Bakuretsu Sisters with Yuki Aino become even more explosive by challenging for the Princess Tag Team Titles one more time.

Kobashi made her decision to focus on her education. She’s been wrestling in TJPW since she was 14 years old and today at 20 she is in university. She only has two years left in college and wants to live the student life. While she is graduating from TJPW, she does not want it to be treated as a retirement from wrestling. The time may come in the future where she would like to wrestle again but for now she wants to live her life to the fullest. Kobashi promises to return the love the fans gave her with even more in her final months. She would also like to team with Abdullah Kobayashi because he is one of her favorite wrestlers (Marika’s ring name was never inspired by Kenta Kobashi. It instead came from the “Ko” in Abdullah Kobayashi and “hashi” from Atsushi Ohashi. Kenta Kobashi himself was speechless when he found out about this).

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’22”, 04/01/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Nodoka-oneesan One Day Revival Special Match: Nodoka-oneesan, Yuki Aino & Haruna Neko Vs Marika Kobashi, Raku & Pom Harajuku
2. International Princess Title: Hikari Noa (c) Vs Maki Itoh
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Mizuki

The Ittenyon show will be the 6th Anniversary of Tenma and Kobashi’s debut matches. Tenma originally debuted as Nodoka-oneesan, a gimmick similar to a children’s TV show host who sings and dances. It was meant to appeal to kids and attract that audience to TJPW. It never worked. However it will be brought back for one day only on 4th January.
