TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 28/06/2025
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi
214 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Exhibition Match: Ai Shimizu Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa ended in a Time Limit Draw (3:00).
2. Shoko Nakajima defeated Ren Konatsu with the Unmanned Local Train Hold (7:53).
3. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Gabai Ji-chan & Mahiro Kiryu when Suzume pinned Kiryu with the Ring A Bell (12:41).
4. Tae Honma & Miyuki Takase defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami when Honma submitted Hasegawa with an Arm Lock (13:59).
*Special Referee: Nao Kakuta
5. Mizuki & Miu Watanabe defeated Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami when Mizuki pinned Kazashiro with the Cutie Special (17:14).

The present main eventers of Tokyo Joshi Pro fought against two possible future main eventers on today’s TJPW Inspiration show. Haru Kazashiro grabbed Mizuki in an Armbreaker while Uta Takami jumped onto Miu Watanabe to apply the Koala Clutch. However Watanabe was able to break up both submission holds by slamming Takami onto Kazashiro. Mizuki then blocked Kazashiro from doing the Fisherman Suplex and cut her off by the ropes with a Diving Foot Stomp. She then won the match using the Cutie Special. Mizuki asked for a handshake after the match but then ignored the other team when they offered her one. Watanabe did shake hands with Kazashiro but ignored Takami for some reason. Mizuki thanked everyone for coming to the show because it was TJPW’s first time at TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi. She’s expecting the summer to get hot but it’s already becoming too hot for her right now. Watanabe said everybody thinks of them as princesses so today you can call them Princess Tag!

Nao Kakuta made a special appearance on the show to officiate a tag match between Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami and Tae Honma & Miyuki Takase. The latter team started to argue with each other when things weren’t going their way. Kakuta tried to calm them down when Honma decided that Kakuta was the only one on her side. The two of them then Irish Whipped everyone else into the corner. Takase then tried using Kakuta for double team moves by Suplexing her onto Hasegawa but Kakuta reversed it and Hasegawa rolled away. Takase used a Missile Dropkick to take down Haseawa & Toribami. Honma gave Hasegawa a Modified DDT for a nearfall and then put her in an Arm Lock to make her give up. Kakuta was later asked if she would like to be a referee again. She doesn’t plan to but if she’s given another opportunity she wouldn’t mind taking it. Toribami complained about Kakuta playing favorites in the match but Kakuta, Honma & Takase told her it was all in her head.

In a promotion that is usually filled with youthful, fast paced wrestlers Gabai Ji-chan slowed things down with his elderly movements. He also thought he was teaming up with Daisy Monkey until Daisuke Kiso guided him over to Mahiro Kiryu’s corner. There were moments when Ji-chan was able to keep up with Suzume & Arisu Endo until his body couldn’t take it anymore. Maybe it’s all in the cane because he threw it towards Suzume and when she caught it, all of a sudden she was bent over double moving like an old lady. Ji-chan then kicked the cane away making Suzume collapse on the mat. He then went for the Swanton Bomb but Endo pulled Suzume out of the way, causing a chain reaction where Kiryu was pulled into Suzume’s place and Ji-chan landed onto the back of her legs instead. Endo took down Ji-chan with a Neckbreaker Drop and Suzume then pinned Kiryu with the Ring A Bell.

The rookie Ren Konatsu was given a big chance to wrestle Shoko Nakajima one on one. The match was mostly grapple based with Konatsu applying a Sleeper only for Nakajima to collapse it. Konatsu tried turning it into a Cradle but Nakajima rolled out of that too and maneuvered everything into catching her opponent with the Unmanned Local Train Hold for the tap out.

Hasegawa wrestled twice on the show, although the first bout was only a three minute exhibition. Ai Shimizu was invited back to wrestle in TJPW for the first time in 9 years just so Hasegawa could get a chance to wrestler her, even if it was just for a brief moment in time. Three minutes obviously wasn’t enough time to determine a winner and the time ran out while Hasegawa was kicking out of a Romero Special and putting Shimizu into a her own submission hold. Afterwards Hasegawa pointed out that Shimizu never actually retired from pro wrestling so she would love to see what she will do next. The two have happy memories together and Shimizu thanked Hasegawa for choosing her as one of her last opponents before retirement. Similar to what Kakuta said above, Shimizu told reporters that if an offer comes her way she may be interested in wrestle again if her schedule allows it.

Today was Rise Shirai’s first complete show as TJPW’s new ring announcer. She was joined by Chika Nanase for the show’s opening call.

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

June 27, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HYPER MISAO PRODUCE ~ HYPE! 3 ~MY UNIVERSE~”, 27/06/2025
Tokyo Kitazawa Town Hall
235 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Special Single Match: Hyper Misao Vs Yuki Aino ended in a Time Limit Draw (15:00).

For the third year in a row Hyper Misao gets to produce her own show and it hasn’t gotten any easier. Three days before the event took place the entire cast waited at the dojo for rehearsals but Misao was nowhere to be seen. Yuki Aino decided to leave the others and go look for her. Meanwhile Misao was isolated in an office room, having purposely taped herself onto a chair so she could complete the script for the show. She found the task so difficult that she started praying to the wrestling gods to give her the strength to continue. After drinking one energy drink too many, she blanked out for a second. After coming to, Misao had a brainflash and suddenly realized the secret of pro wrestling as well as the universe!

Freshly invigorated, Misao went back to work typing as much as she could. Unbeknownst to her a mystery figure entered the room, approached her from behind and knocked her out with a bell hammer! As this was happening Aino was walking down the street and saw the figure carrying a still conscious Misao into a nearby parking lot. Aino rushed towards them, grabbed Misao and pulled her away. But the two clashed heads, knocking both of them down. The mystery person picked the now unconscious Misao up onto their shoulder and walked off.

Aino woke up to Mahiro Kiryu, Suzume and Shoko Nakajima all standing over her checking if she was alright. Something was wrong because she started thinking she was Misao and asked the others what had happened to Aino? Once she saw her reflection in a mirror, she started to realize what was going on. By bumping heads Misao and Aino had switched bodies! Back in the dojo everyone was told what had happened. Misao was now in Aino’s body and Aino was now in Misao’s body, which had just been kidnapped. They also have this show to worry about so they agreed in the meantime to do all that they can to make “HYPE! 3” a success.

Our story begins during the year 20XX in a version of Japan where pro wrestling is a nationally certified profession. Only those who pass a national exam are allowed to take on the job which for 15 consecutive years has been voted by children as the No. 1 career they want to have in the future. A private school in located in Shinjuku called the Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling Academy brings in students from all over Japan because it has an enrollment rate of 90% among its graduates. Today is the first day of class for the academy’s newest transfer student, Yuki Koino (Yuki Aino). Unfortunately Yuki was running late for class so she needed to get there quick. As she was running, she bumped into somebody wearing another school uniform (Toga) and knocked her down. When the student wouldn’t accept Yuki’s apology, Yuki called her a jerk and continued on her way to class. However something about that moment made Yuki feel excited in a way she never felt before.

Yuki made it to the academy in time and was introduced to the rest of the classroom by the homeroom teacher Rika-sensai (Rika Tatsumi). A different student then hurriedly entered the room. It was Rune Okure (Uta Takami), another transfer student. She introduced herself by saying her strength is she’s the most competitive person in the universe. Her weakness is also that she’s the most competitive person in the universe. Today’s lesson was the history of why pro wrestling became the most important profession in the country. It is because pro wrestlers protect the Earth from aliens! Once there was an evil alien who invaded the planet threatening to conquer it when a wrestler challenged it to a wrestling match. The wrestler won and when the bell rang, the entire area was enveloped in light, weakening the alien and saving the entire planet.

The sound of the ring bell also has the power to wipe out memories. A side demonstration was put together by a normal civilian (HIMAWARI) who used the ring bell to repel a pickup artist (Tetsuya Koda). She had to keep ringing it though because once the artist lost his memory, he would forget what had happened and begin flirting with her again. Back in the classroom Rune asked Rika-sensai if a wrestler ever lost to an alien? Rika told her so far it has never happened. Pro wrestlers are the strongest. Rune found that last sentence to be interesting and repeated it to herself…

Later in the day, Yuki was visited by three members of the school’s Discipline Committee (Suzume, Raku & Haru Kazashiro) who are there to enforce the rules of good behavior, purity and integrity. They noticed her’s blonde hair goes against their rules so they started calling her a delinquint who is impure and violating compliance. Their solution was to dye her hair black straight away! They all grabbed Yuki and brought out a bottle of hair dye when all of a sudden the student who Yuki bumped into earlier came out to save her! The student is Toga Amasawa and it turns out she is so popular in the school that other students formed a fan club, which goes against the Discipline Committee’s rules. Yuki & Toga freed themselves from the Committee’s clutches and were about to make their escape when another group of students suddenly approached them.

To the tune of “Timing” by Black Biscuits, three students made their entrance to the ring. They were all members of the Student Council: President Shoko Domanakajima (Shoko Nakajima), Secretary Shinogono Suzuki (Shino Suzuki) and Vice President Mahrio Kiryunen (Mahiro Kiryu). The Council were here to crack down on the Committee’s strict and tyrannical ways. After chasing the Committee away, the Council then tried to recruit Yuki and Toga to join their side because they are currently understaffed. Toga wasn’t interested and walked off by herself, leaving Yuki behind. She didn’t want to join but all of a sudden Rune ran in saying she will do it alongside her! Looks like Yuki has no choice but to go along with it.

With her first day of school finished, Yuki walked home in the rain where she once again saw Toga down the street. Toga had found a kitten that was getting soaked in the rain so he was doing what he could to help it. Yuki joined in and had a talk where Toga explained his poor family background to her. Feeling sympathetic, Yuki asked Toga to meet her at this same spot tomorrow so she can help him take care of the kitten too.

The next day at the Student Council meeting, Rune suddenly ran into the room panicking. She told everyone something weird has happened to the Discipline Committee. The Committee then arrived singing and dancing to “Cosmic Treat” by Perfume then introduced themselves as Haruchi (Haru Kazashiro), Ra-chan (Raku) and Suzumebachi (Suzume). Together the three of them make up Panic! Shoko realized that they had been taken over by aliens so they must fight to bring them back to their senses! A wrestling match suddenly broke out and despite a moment when Rune got in the way, the Council were victorious in the end. The bell rang and the Discipline Committee returned to normal, remembering why they wanted to be pro wrestlers in the first place (to take naps during matches, do Kamen Rider poses and become cooler than everyone else). They also all remembered they got Fs in their mock exams which is why they thought becoming plain and strictly following the rules would solve their problems. Yuki then taught them the lesson that pro wrestlers are strong and cool because they are true towards what they like.

Everyone then started to wonder how and why the Committee were taken over by aliens. They brought up having a black notebook that contains information on all of the transfer students when all of a sudden a loud sound made them all fall to the ground, clutching their heads in pain. When they recovered they all noticed the notebook had gone missing! Rune told everyone they need to get help from a teacher and ran off to go look for Rika-sensai. She found her in the science lab where she was trying to convince Toga to drink a special liquid that would turn her into the perfect pro wrestler! Toga refused and had to physically stop Rika from forcing her to drink it when Rune made her late entrance…

Rune returned to the others with an alarming update. Both Rika & Toga had also been taken over by aliens! The two then showed up singing and dancing to “UFO” by Pink Lady. Yuki tried to check if Toga was ok but he pushed her away, making the Student Council feel the need to start another wrestling match to save them. Again Rune stepped in trying to help but got in the Council’s way. However the Council recovered and were able to win, ringing the bell to restore Rika & Toga’s memories. Rika realized that her love for students had gotten out of control and she was no longer fit to be a teacher. Toga meanwhile admitted to Yuki that she wants actually wants to wear the same uniform as everyone else because she likes cute, girly things too. She promised not to hide her girlish side from Yuki for now on.

The situation had now become an emergency so Rika went to look for her transfer student documents to figure out what was going on. However she too was then struck by the noise attack and the documents went missing in the process. Rika-sensei had no choice but to close the school for everyone’s safety. Yuki and Shoko decided to walk home together when Suzuki chased after them, telling them that Mahiro had gotten herself into danger! She left her school bag behind and when she went back to the classroom to get it, she found Rune sitting alone trying to cover up the transfer student documents! Mahiro grabbed them wondering what it was and noticed the photograph on Rune’s document was that of a completely different person (Haruna Neko)! Before Mahiro could do anything about it, Rune knocked her out by shooting beams from her hands at her. The rest of the Student Council arrived and at this point realised that Rune was an alien all this time! Rune confessed it is true. She is actually Urahime of the Ura Earthlings and comes from the most competitive planet in the universe. She has come here to conquer Earth! During the intermission Tatsumi asked everyone in the dressing room where Misao (in Aino’s body) went. Nakajima went looking for her and found her sitting down the stairway. She asked if she was feeling nervous and told her it will be all over soon. Misao/Aino told her she’ll do her best.

Back to the story. Urahime had now revealed her true self by singing and dancing to the song “Invader Invader” by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. She then used her beam to revive Mahiro and take control of her. Suzuki ran towards them trying to save her friend but Urahime hit her with the same beam, taking control of her too. Shoko & Yuki now had to fight the three of them in a wrestling match with Shoko trying to get her friends to snap back to normal. However the power of friendship was not powerful enough to overwhelm Urahime’s beams so Shoko needed Yuki’s help to beat them. Shoko pinned Urahime and Yuki rang the bell to bring everyone back to normal.

Urahime showed regret for her actions and promised to reform if she could be allowed to join the Academy so she can study pro wrestling. Shoko gave her her endorsement because she enjoyed fighting her so much and wants to do it more. Suzuki called this a historic moment that needs to be written down. Mahiro said this school is so great that she’s definitely going to repeat the year. And so our heroes had saved Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling Academy from an alien invasion! The End.

No wait, that’s not it just yet. The story had finished and Misao/Aino gathered all the cast members to the ring when suddenly Hyper Misao walked out on the stage. Everyone thought it was Yuki Aino in Misao’s body but she dropped the act and admitted there was no body swap to begin with. Aino dropped her act too and showed everyone a video to explain what was going on. Back when Misao drank her energy drinks to finish writing the script she actually gave up, broke free from her chair and left her office. Aino caught her trying to leave the building and tried to stop her. Misao said the script was completed but she isn’t confident it will be good so she wants to disappear for a while. She’s caused everyone enough trouble already and suggested Koda can book four matches on the fly as a replacement show. Misao then ran off, leaving Aino by herself. Aino could hear other people approaching the building so she came up with a plan on the spot to pretend that somebody abducted Misao and Misao swapped bodies with Aino in the process.

Back in the ring everyone was coming to terms with the truth. Suzuki thought it made sense because body swaps don’t work that way. Nakajima however pointed out it does happen that way in pro wrestling! Raku then realized that all this time it was Aino who handled all of the preparations and rehearsals while Misao was missing. Misao apologized and talked about how last year she got injured right before “HYPE! 2”. When she came back and won the Princess Tag Team Titles with Nakajima, she had decided on the plot for this year’s show. However this year she got injured before the show again and became worried she lost everyone’s trust. She decided to run away but secretly came back today to watch the dress rehearsal and full performance. She saw all these amazingly talented people make her script turn out a hundred million times better than she expected so she had no choice but to walk out and apologize to everyone.

Aino could understand Misao’s regrets because she has many regrets too. When she was a child her sister Nodoka Tenma and their father would perform in community musicals together. She loved watching them but whenever she was asked if she would like to join them, she never had the confidence to do it. She always regretted that so when she was offered the main role of today’s show this time she wouldn’t refuse. She thanked Misao for coming up with today’s script and giving her this opportunity. When Tenma graduated from Tokyo Joshi Pro three years ago, it left Aino with a big gap in her wrestling life and she ended up feeling like she was stuck in a maze. Then when Sayuri Namba’s graduation took place recently, she realized she was never alone. She just avoided taking the time to look at everything surrounding her. The warm and uplifting TJPW ring helps broaden her world and she loves fighting in front of the fans. She is passionate now but wants to get even more passionate so she challenged Misao to a match right there, right now!

After a replay of the intro (both times included a Namba cameo) allowed the two wrestlers to get into their gear, the main event singles match between Hyper Misao and Yuki Aino began. Misao took the microphone and told everyone this is her first singles match since coming back from injury. It is a match she cannot afford to lose and she wants to be passionate from the bottom of her heart. But when she reached out to shake Aino’s hand she got a cheap shot in by kicking her in the gut. But Aino got Misao into the corner and started a Train Attack featuring the cast of the show all still acting in character. The match then became more normal and even serious afterwards. As it entered its final few minutes, Misao applied the Crossface Chicken Wing and almost smothered Aino with it but she was able to reach a rope break. Misao then climbed the top rope but Aino grabbed her and did a Super Side Suplex. They then blocked each other’s signature moves until Aino was able to pull off the Venus DDT. However Aino was too slow to make the pin and only got a two count out of it. Misao was also able to kick out of a Side Suplex and do a Flying Cross Body for a nearfall of her own when the bell rang to signal a time limit draw.

Misao told Aino after the match that is was super exciting. She doesn’t know if it’s because she has so many feelings built up inside her but this was the first time she did a singles match in such a bad mental state. Her heart has never burned hotter than it had from fighting Aino today. She trusts everybody in TJPW which is why she wants everyone to trust her. She wanted Aino to have the main role today because she always tries to help others stay calm and collected, even if it means she never gives priority to her own passions. So she was so happy when Aino approached her asking for a singles match against each other to happen on this show. Aino said Misao always puts herself down when she should never be saying things like that. Everyone here thinks Misao’s ideas are funny, they all love her for it and it makes them sad whenever she says things like that. Nakajima then spoke on the mic, telling Misao that while working hard on your own can be a good thing, is can also be a bad thing. Everyone has fun working on “HYPE!” so she shouldn’t be worrying too much. She then passed the microphone to Kiryu who admitted she had nothing to say after watching the match. Tatsumi scolder her but what she meant was she has nothing else to say that others haven’t already said. Misao took the mic back and got to close out the show. She said it didn’t felt right to do the the first two times but she’s sure it will get better as they go along. “I get HYPE! We get HYPE!”

Plans have changed and Sanshiro Takagi has decided to rebrand his 30th Anniversary spin-off brand. Gone is MatchMake & Agent Pro Wrestling and taking its place is Super Japan Pro Wrestling! Takagi wants to imagine what it would be like if the wrestling promotion he helped form in 1997 was named Super Japan instead of Dramatic Dream Team. Part of that vision is getting one of DDT’s other founders MIKAMI to take part in the debut show. He will face the similarly aged TAKA Michinoku in what might be Super Japan’s inaugural match.

Also announced for the show are Kuroshio TOKYO Japan, The Brahman Brothers, Fuminori Abe and Ippanjin Munenori Sawa. Takagi and The Brahmans all want Yuji Nagata to be on the show but he keeps turning them down.

BASARA “BASARA 282 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~” Results

June 25, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 282 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 25/06/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Masato Kamino defeated Shota Kofuji with the Lariat (11:12).
2. Isami Kodaka & Shiori Asahi Vs Yasu Urano & Hagane Shinno ended in a Draw when Asahi and Urano pinned each other (11:58).
3. Thanomsak Toba & Tyson “Ultimate” Maeguchi defeated Daiki Shimomura & Takato Nakano when Toba pinned Nakano with the Back Blow (11:16).
4. Ryota Nakatsu defeated Takeru Inoue with a Wrist Lock (12:32).
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA (c) defeated Lil’ Kraken & Akira Jo when FUMA submitted Kraken with an Armbar (14:39).
*V2 for Hyakusho Ikki.

The new bond between the Super Family is not as strong as the farmer’s bond that Hyakusho Ikki have. Lil’ Kraken missed a Frog Splash, giving FUMA the opening to submit him with an Armbar. He called Kraken & Akira Jo tough opponents after the match but he and Ryuichi Sekine are hard workers from the countryside. They spent the morning preparing for this Iron Fist Tag Team Titles by feeding chickens and cleaning out their coops before travelling to the venue. FUMA doesn’t understand why young people today think working hard is uncool but he and Sekine are going to cherish today’s successful title defence. They now have two wins with 98 to go until they reach their goal of 100 title defences.

Takeru Inoue lost to Ryota Nakatsu in his return match from injury. He shook Nakatsu’s hand afterwards and Nakatsu twisted Inoue’s healed arm as a joke. He said he only did it to show Inoue survived having his injured limb targeted. Inoue said the pain he felt in the match was something he hadn’t felt in a long time but he is happy to wrestle again. Nakatsu is still decided who the next Union MAX Title challenger should be. He said he got a few challenges from other promotions after he won the Chouten ~Itadaki~ but his time is now being taken up by his new role as BASARA’s president.

Match #2 ended in a draw when both teams all got tangled up with each other from a back and forth Double Brainbuster spot. Isami Kodaka, Shiori Asahi, Yasu Urano and Hagane Shinno all ended up rolling their shoulders onto the canvas and they were all pinned for the three count.

Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino opened up the show with an announcement for BASARA’s return to Korakuen Hall on 3rd August. Aijin Tag will team up to face Isami Kodaka & El Desperado! Kamino is aware that Desperado and Nakano already know each other but does Desperado know who he is? He sent out a warning that despite his muscular look, he is still a junior heavyweight so he is going to overwhelm the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion with his muscles!

M&A “SANSHIRO TAKAGI 30TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT ~MATCHMAKE & AGENT SUBTITLE TBD~” Results

June 25, 2025

M&A “SANSHIRO TAKAGI 30TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT ~MATCHMAKE & AGENT SUBTITLE TBD~”, 25/06/2025
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Single Match: Fuminori Abe defeated Shota with a Spinning Leg Lock Counter Cradle (7:38).
2. Special Tag Match: Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Momoka Hanazono defeated Ippanjin Munenori Sawa & Mio Shirai when Kuroshio pinned Shirai with a Forward Rolling Cradle (8:56).
3. Special Single Match: Momo Kohgo defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Nectar Peach (11:29).
4. Special Tag Match: Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei defeated Rika Tatsumi & Antonio Honda when Kei pinned Honda after the Gotai Fumanzoku (14:35).
5. Special Single Match: Suwama defeated Muscle Sakai with the Back Drop (13:22).
6. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata defeated Ken Ohka with the Back Drop Hold (12:23).

Just as quick as it started, MatchMake & Agent Pro Wrestling has already come to an end. Sanshiro Takagi kicked off the show with a big announcement regarding the future of this spin-off project that was made to celebrate his 30 years in the business. The announcement is today’s the final M&A show! He assured everyone this decision is not for any kind of troubling reason. Takagi is going to continue booking these kind of shows but he decided to give them a makeover. The 19th August show that was meant to be an M&A event is now the debut of Super Japan Pro Wrestling! The name was originally one of the options to call DDT when it launched way back in 1997. It was NOSAWA Rongai who suggested “Cho Nippon Pro Wrestling” because every wrestling promotion at the time was called ___ Japan Pro Wrestling. Takagi rejcted it, leading to Dramatic Dream Team being chosen instead. But since multiverses are all the rage nowadays, Takagi wants to imagine what it would be like if Super Japan was the name chosen over DDT.

The main event of what is now the last M&A show had Yuji Nagata from New Japan facing Ken Ohka from Ganbare☆Pro in what was a dream match for Ohka. He used Headbutts to fight against Nagata’s kicks and chops then used the Flame Spear for a nearfall. Nagata fought back with an Exploder Suplex, Middle Kicks and the Back Drop Hold to get the three count. After the match Ohka said he had watched Nagata on TV for years and here he is standing in front of him. But Ohka knew that he couldn’t win with admiration so he fought as hard as he could. He asked Nagata to give him encouragement so he can continue wrestling for another five years and become strong enough to some day beat him. Nagata praised Ohka for having soul and told him a truly strong person is someone who can get up on their own even when they lose. Ohka is already a strong person so Nagata told him to work harder to get even stronger. He then slapped Ohka across the face and promised him they can have a rematch in five years time.

Before the show could end, Takagi came back out to talk to Nagata. He told everyone that Nagata is going to be the ace of Super Japan! Not only that but there are some people in the back who would love to team up with him. Out came The Brahman Brothers! They asked Nagata to team up with them on 19th August to give everyone an exciting match. They even said they want to do it Blue Justice style while he can become Brahman Yuji! Nagata apologetically turned them down and left the ring. The Brahmans chased after him to reconsider while Takagi told the fans to please wait for an official decision in the future.

Muscle Sakai had a lot of thoughts on his mind going into today’s show. He was here to say goodbye to everyone because Suwama was about to destroy him. After coming off an historic one match show where he as Super Sasadango Machine defended the DDT Extreme Title against Toru Yano, he was now being booked to fight Suwama only because Takagi thinks they have similar looking faces. He has no ideas and is entering the match empty handed. But when he and Suwama fought their way up to the entrance stage, Sasadango suddenly appeared shouting like Takagi usually does! He attacked Suwama and even brought out the Dramatic Dream bike to crash it into him. Suddenly Suwama’s music started playing and Sakai reappeared wearing a homemade Suwama costume! The two Suwamas teamed up on “Sasadango” until the fake Suwama hit the real one with a Lariat by mistake. The real Suwama hit back with a Lariat and then gave Sakai the Back Drop to get the pin.

After the match Suwama unmasked “Sasadango” to show it was indeed Takagi underneath. Takagi said it was all Sakai’s idea so Suwama should get mad at him. Sakai was surprised to find out he survived the match and told Suwama he passed his test. He explained he’s been looking for a new master to learn from after being under Takagi’s tutelage for many years. Sakai is currently a freelancer so he asked Suwama if he could join Pro Wrestling Evolution as their third super heavyweight wrestler? Suwama said no and told Sakai that the Sasadango mask suits him better. Takagi asked Suwama to reconsider because this was the final MatchMake & Agent show and advised Sakai to write up a proper resume. Suwama agreed and ordered Sakai to get all of his documents in order, then he will consider it.

The Brahman Brothers crossed paths with somebody who may just be as crazy as they are. No, not Antonio Honda but Rika Tatsumi! The match quickly transformed into a massive water fight throughout the venue. Back in the ring The Brahmans did their bowling ball and suitcase spot with Tatsumi taking the brunt of the damage. But she got her own back by doing the same spot to them. Brahman Kei grabbed Honda so Brahman Shu could hit him with a traffic sign but Tatsumi blocked it by choking him. She then grabbed the sign but when she swung it at her opponent, Honda got hit instead. The Brahmans then got rid of Tatsumi and used the Gotai Fumanzoku to pin Honda.

Yoshiko Hasegawa’s retirement road reunited her with Momo Kohgo resulting in a rare Tokyo Joshi Pro Vs Stardom singles match. But the focus was more on the two’s history with each other going back to Actwres girl’Z. Hasegawa kept trying to put Kohgo in the Muffler Hold but in the end Kohgo pinned her with the Nectar Peach for the victory. She thanked Hasegawa for choosing her for one of her last remaining matches before retirement. She also thanked Takagi for putting the match together and Taro Okada for permitting it to happen. She then talked about her history with Yoppy up to when they went their seperate ways and how they would go eat ramen together on their way home. Yoppy joked about how they would always get told off in the dressing room for being clumsy and they would talk to each other about it on the train ride home. She thanked Stardom and TJPW for watching over her retirement road then told Kohgo they should go eat ramen together again.

The always long-lasting entrance of Kuroshio TOKYO Japan led to a split of opinion on the other team. Munenori Sawa enjoyed it and was having fun while Mio Shirai got sick of it to the point she got on the microphone to complain. She eventually convinced the sound team to cut the music so the match could start. Her grumpy attitude also made Momoka Hanazono upset. She started crying when Shirai stopped her from using her bubble toy as a weapon. Both Kuroshio and Sawa tried to step in but Shirai got angry at them too, causing the two men to also start crying. That caused all three of them to team up against Shirai until Hanazono accidentally hit Sawa with the bubble toy. The match continued normal from there and Hanazono used the bubble toy once more, hitting Shirai with it so Kuroshio could reverse her Rolling Cradle pin and steal the victory.

The opening match between Shota and Fuminori Abe had the two switch to a more classic style of wrestling in order to out-do one another. Abe got the upper hand and repositioned himself from a Roll Up to pin Shota with a German Suplex.

At the end of the show Takagi announced the very first match for Super Japan’s debut show on 19th August. He invited MIKAMI down to the ring and reminded fans he is one of DDT’s founding members. Takagi wants to rewrite history by putting MIKAMI in Super Japan’s first match and his opponent will be TAKA Michinoku! MIKAMI congratulated Takagi on finally launching Super Japan and said he himself has a deep bond with Michinoku because they are both turning 52 this year. He is going to go back to basics for this match and start again from scratch.

Press Conference For KO-D Tag Titles Match

June 24, 2025

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Akito & Kazuma Sumi Vs Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida
1. Jun Akiyama, Daichi Sato & Soma Takao Vs Toru Owashi, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada
2. 3 Way Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani Vs MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Shunma Katsumata & To-y

4. International Special Tag Match: Mansoor & Mason Madden Vs Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) Vs Yukio Naya & Yuki Iino
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi

Yesterday the two teams who will face each other for the KO-D Tag Team Titles both appeared at a press conference to sign the match contract. Astronauts both showed up in full gear while Yukio Naya & Yuki Iino were dressed in flashy summer clothing. Iino wanted to say his “I am BURNING! Yeah!” catchphrase but Fuminori Abe cut him off. Iino then told the reporters that his eyesight in his right eye has returned and he will be in perfect condition for the title match. Naya believes there aren’t many serious tag teams in DDT right now so they can bring along a new wind of tag team spirit by winning the tag titles. Takuya Nomura said he and Abe do great against bigger opponents because they get to show their true worth against wrestlers bigger than them. They’ll have no trouble winning this match and continuing their path to breaking the record for most title defences.

Abe talked about his attempts at becoming more fashionable lately. He is growing out his hair and got a fade cut from his barber. He was told if he grows it longer he can get a wet perm to cover the scar on his forehead. He then bought some new clothes at Uniqlo and when he put his new look together, he got embarrassed and felt like he was completely defeated by fashion. He then talked about his history with Naya back in Real Japan Pro Wrestling. That promotion is now called Strong Style Pro Wrestling and Abe regularly works there alongside Yuji Sakuragi & Hayato Mashita. Abe practiced with them recently and noticed the two of them were hitting harder than usual. At the end of practice they then told Abe he understands what he has to do. Naya needs to atone himself for leaving them so Abe will cut Naya’s pinkie finger off as his punishment! Abe’s goal in this match isn’t just to pin or submit Naya but to bring his pinkie finger back to their seniors!

When it comes to Iino, Abe has two nice things to say about him. One is Iino spends money taking care of his hair and the other is Iino can say slow paced catchphrases like “I am BURNING! Yeah!” There were times when rugby players would attend wrestling shows that Abe was on and they always tell him how cool Iino is. That annoys Abe because he thinks he is cooler so he cannot afford to lose to Iino. He will prove he is cooler by chopping off Naya’s finger. He then asked Naya & Iino what their tag team name is? Naya told him it will be revealed at Korakuen Hall right after they win the tag titles from Astronauts. Abe doesn’t want to wait that long so over the next few days they’ll think about revealing it sooner. At the end of the conference Iino tried to say his catchphrase one more time but Abe stopped him yet again.

Princess Cup Preliminary League Round 2

June 24, 2025


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “I CAN’T WAIT UNTIL SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25!”, 05/07/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 2: X Vs X
2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 2: X Vs X

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YOSHIKO HASEGAWA GRADUATION EVENT – NONFICTION”, 08/07/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 2: X Vs X
2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 2: X Vs X

Earlier today Rise Shirai brought the eight remaining wrestlers in the Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League together to take part in a draw to determine who faces who in Round 2. The winners of these four matches will qualify for the actual Princess Cup, filling in the four remaining spots. The lottery came up with these four matches:

-. Moka Miyamoto Vs Kaya Toribami
-. Haru Kazashiro Vs Ivy Steele
-. Wakana Uehara Vs Shino Suzuki
-. Pom Harajuku Vs HIMAWARI

It has not been decided yet which matches will take place when. Two will be held at the 5th July show in Yokahama Radiant Hall and the remaining two takes place in Shinjuku FACE on 8th July. The match placements will take the rest of the show cards into consideration. For example maybe Moka Miyamoto will have another match with Suzume in Yokohama to build up their upcoming title match so that would mean Miyamoto’s qualifier against Kaya Toribami would have to take place in Shinjuku.

GANBARE☆PRO “BLUE VELVET 2025” Results

June 22, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “BLUE VELVET 2025”, 22/06/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
196 Fans

1. Ken Ohka & Choun-Shiryu defeated Shinichiro Tominaga & Ali Najima when Ohka pinned Najima with the Flame Spear (9:05).
2. Keisuke Ishii defeated Shota Kawakami with a Knee Drop (6:40).
3. GanPro Ultimate Rules: Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Thanomsak Toba by Referee Stoppage with a Body-locking Sleeper Hold (2:20).
4. Yoshiko Hasegawa’s Last Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling Match: Moeka Haruhi, Yuna Manase & Banny Oikawa defeated YuuRI, Yoshiko Hasegawa & Riara when Manase pinned Hasegawa with the Suzuki Dynamic (12:22).
5. Mizuki Watase defeated Munetatsu Nakamura by TKO when Watase used the NAGISA on Nakamura and Toru Sugiura threw in the towel (12:54).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Yumehito Imanari (c) defeated Tyson “Ultimate” Maeguchi with the Power Bomb (12:36).
*V5 for Yumehito Imanari.

Given that Tyson “Ultimate” Maeguchi is digging deep into his combat sports roots he aimed to beat Yumehito Imanari by knockout. But Imanari’s faith in pro wrestling won out in the end. He was reminded of the time Keiji Muto fought Don Frye and Muto said he had no choice but to prepare for his Frye’s punches. Imanari was able to beat the 10 counts, block Maeguchi’s punches and drop him with a Power Bomb to get the win in the end. Imanari gave praise to Maeguchi after the match for being who he wants to be, which is a goal of Ganbare☆Pro. He found a way to mix together kickboxing with pro wrestling and take it all over the indies. Imanari brought up that they recently wrestled a match together at a okonomiyaki restaurant in Suidobashi. He congratulated Maeguchi on becoming a real kickboxing pro wrestler and told him they should wrestle each other in that restaurant again.

Mizuki Watase kept taunting Munetatsu Nakamura with the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Title belt which fired Nakamura up for to fight him. Watase taunted him again by screaming Nakamura will never win the belt like this. He put Nakamura in a Front Neck Lock with an Arm Lock added on but Nakamura wouldn’t give up. His tag partner Toru Sugiura threw in a towel from ringside to forfeit the match. Nakamura complained about it but Sugiura explained afterward, asking him what if he broke his arm? If it was a title match he’d understand losing one or two arms behind but it’s not worth doing it for this match. Watase understood Sugiura’s point and told both of them to bring this same feeling with them for the title bout next month. Sugiura & Nakamura promised that when they win the SOG Tag Titles they will be all over Shukan Puroresu and Wrestle Universe!

All of the Ganbare☆Joshi division gathered together for Yoshiko Hasegawa’s final match in GanPro before she retires from pro wrestling. Riara returned to GanPro for the occasion and even HARUKAZE showed up to be the ring announcer. Hasegawa got to start off the match with Moeka Haruhi. Then YuuRI & Riara helped beat down Yuna Manase so Hasegawa could put her in the Muffler Hold but Banny Oikawa cut her off. Manase was able to get the pin on Hasegawa by giving her the Suzuki Dynamic, a move she hasn’t used for a while in GanPro. After the match Manase said she was so nervous about today that she forgot her wrestling boots and had to borrow Ken Ohka’s boots for the match. She told Hasegawa she will always be a part of GanJo as long as she keeps trying. So if she doesn’t feel like trying anymore she will always be allowed to come back and wrestle matches to find her strength again. Hasegawa then surprised Manase with a roll up and everyone else did a three count so they could all call Hasegawa the winner.

Ken Ohka has been inspired recently by Masaaki Mochizuki challenging for the Open The Dream Gate Title at the age of 55 years old. He wants to put the message out there that he would like to team with Mochizuki for a match on 19th July.

In his post-show comments, Imanari brought up that today has been a busy day for the Ibushi Wrestling Institute. He and Maeguchi fought each other in GanPro, Kota Ibushi returned to AEW and shootboxer Yukimitsu Takahashi won his fight today. So in Imanari’s mind today was like a birthday for the Ibushi Wrestling Institute.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 FINAL” Results

June 22, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 FINAL”, 22/06/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
365 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 1: Wakana Uehara defeated Kira Summer with the Banana Pillow (6:56).
2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 1: Ivy Steele defeated Toga with the Modified Pumphandle Slam (8:33).
3. Yoshiko Hasegawa defeated Uta Takami with the Muffler Hold (7:17).
4. Raku & Shino Suzuki defeated Maki Itoh & Ren Konatsu when Raku pinned Konatsu with the Doctor Yellow (9:03).
5. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami when Suzume pinned Miyamoto with the Ring A Bell (11:49).
6. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Shoko Nakajima & Chika Nanase when Tatsumi submitted Nanase with the Dragon Sleeper (12:33).
7. Mizuki, Hyper Misao, Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku defeated Yuki Arai, Mahiro Kiryu, HIMAWARI, Haru Kazashiro when Harajuku pinned Kazashiro with the Pom de Justice (12:21).

Today was Sayuri Namba’s graduation from Tokyo Joshi Pro. But before her last day with the company was done, Hyper Misao had a request for her in the main event. Misao asked Namba to do her own superhero introduction but it was all so Misao could stick a spray can in her hand and force her to blind the other team with it. Namba was too scared to stop and ended up spraying the can towards everybody. Mizuki & Yuki Aino brought the ring bell and hammer into the ring and held them out for Namba to officially start the match while Misao was pinning Haru Kazashiro. Namba rang the bell and Kazashiro kicked out at two. The match got more serious when Mizuki and Yuki Arai fought each other while HIMAWARI was able to handle what Misao was giving her. Misao blinded Kiryu with the spray and tagged out to Pom Harajuku. She screamed in Mahiro Kiryu’s face and Kiryu told her to shut up afterward. Instead of apologizing, she instead tagged in Kazashiro. The match broke down into all eight wrestlers fighting in the ring. Mizuki’s team got the upper hand with all four of them hitting signature moves on their opponents. Harajuku then gave Kazashiro the Pom de Justice to get the win.

Harajuku had tears of joy because she got to do the post-match winner’s call today. She invited Namba into the ring but Namba said Pom crying is going to make her cry too. Harajuku said she is sad Namba is graduating but she is doing it with a goal for the future and that will motivate Harajuku to push herself towards her own goals. Namba noticed that Harajuku was wearing the costume from her debut match seven years ago. She then talked about starting out in TJPW around the same time as when Harajuku, Kiryu and Haruna Neko were trainees so to her it is like they are all the same age. The time Namba spent in TJPW is a treasure she will cherish forever and she owes it to everyone in the company for making it such a sparkling time. She was gifted with a bouquet by Aino and Raku. Suzume and Kiryu then gave her a commemorative album. Kiryu wanted to wipe the tears away from Namba’s face but used a water-soluble tissue that left bits of paper behind so Aino had to carefully clean them off Namba. Everyone then gathered in the ring around Namba so they could all announce her name together to officially end her career as TJPW’s ring announcer. Nao Kakuta also appeared for Namba’s final group photo.

It’s been over a year since Daydream last teamed up together and they haven’t skipped a beat together. Rika Tatsumi thought it didn’t feel that long since they last teamed up but Miu Watanabe didn’t agree with her. What they do agree on is their chemistry was perfect as always. Tatsumi can see how much Watanabe has evolved away from her while Watanabe knows she can match up to Tatsumi’s needs better than anyone else. Daydream also used the sasumata poles to trap Shoko Nakajima again and Chika Nanase got caught in one this time too. Nakajima expected Daydream to do something unexpected and they exceeded her expectations today. Nanase worked hard to help her but Nakajima thinks she needs Misao with her to beat Daydream. She was asked by a reporter if she will come up with a countermeasure for the sasumata poles and she thinks it would be pointless to do so. Kyoraku Kyomei might bring a hidden weapon of their own or they might do the unthinkable and fight Daydream fair and square.

Suzume scored a clean pin on her upcoming challenger Moka Miyamoto. During their tag match the International Princess Champion countered the Korokan into a Backslide that moved into a low Ring A Bell. She then used a Flying Facecrusher followed by a full power Ring A Bell to score the three count for Daisy Monkey. She was happy to win the match by herself and get revenge for Miyamoto recently pinning her earlier this month. She was even happier to hear Namba announce her as the winner one last time. Miyamoto knows she is lacking a lot of things and said she will analyze them more heading into the title match.

There is a little sheep doll that Ren Konatsu clips to her belt and it caught Raku’s attention. She thinks it matches her outfit better so she took it off Konatsu and used it to power up her lullaby, sending Konatsu to sleep. She then used the doll on Maki Itoh while Shino Suzuki held her in place but the lullaby sent both of them to sleep too. Raku then accidentally turned the doll on herself, resulting on all four wrestlers napping in the ring. Fumirin counted a quadruple pin of everyone but they all woke up and kicked out at two. Raku then threw the doll out of the ring.

Yuki Kamifuku missed the show because of a foot injury. The 3 Way Match she was booked for instead became just Yoshiko Hasegawa against Uta Takami.

Despite a few delays the 1st Round in the Tokyo Princess Cup preliminary league has been completed in time. Today featured the last two matches of the opening round. Ivy Steele comes out of this competition with the biggest upset so far by beating Toga. It took Steele blocking the Rock Bottom and hitting a Snap Enzuigiri to Toga to get out of harm’s way. Steele then used a Spinning Pumphandle Back Drop to get the win. Steele said losing to Toga before prepared her for today and made her work hard for the victory. Toga thought she would win today but realizes that was a bit arrogant of her to think that way. In the other match Wakana Uehara made Kira Summer submit to the Banana Pillow. Uehara doesn’t know who to expect in Round 2 but she wants to beat whoever it is to qualify for the Princess Cup. Summer tried to be more aggressive than usual but it didn’t work this time. She wants to continue getting more aggressive so the next time she will win.

It was announced that TeaDK, the team of Chris Brookes & Emi Sakura will return to TJPW for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” on 21st July. Their opponents are to be determined.
