TOKYO JOSHI PRO “NEW YEAR DISH PRO WRESTLING I DON’T KNOW” Results

January 5, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “NEW YEAR DISH PRO WRESTLING I DON’T KNOW”, 05/01/2020
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
223 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Mizuki & Sena Shiori when Aino submitted Shiori with the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire (10:00).
2. Akemi Daredasore defeated Pom Harajuku with a Rope Assisted Pin (9:38).
3. 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Yuki Kamifuku and Mahiro Kiryu when Nakajima pinned Kiryu with a European Clutch (6:30).
4. Miyu Yamashita, Raku & Suzume defeated Natsumi Maki, Hikari Noa & Haruna Neko when Yamashita pinned Neko with the Attitude Adjustment (8:42).
5. Yuka Sakazaki, Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Yuna Manase, Mina Shirakawa & Mirai Maiumi when Sakazaki pinned Maiumi with the Magical Merry Go Round (14:23).
6. International Princess Title: Thunder Rosa defeated Maki Itoh (c) with the Thunder Driver (14:33).
*Maki Itoh fails in V3. Thunder Rosa becomes the 4th International Princess Champion!

Maki Itoh’s decision to defend the International Princess Title on a day’s notice ended up backfiring on her. Thunder Rosa beat her to become the new champion! The match went pear shaped for Itoh when she missed the Flying Big Head. Rosa got out of the way and pinned Itoh with the Thunder Driver. Rosa said afterwards that it’s been her dream to wrestle in Japan and become a champion here since 2015. Today she achieved her dream! Also since she is able to wrestle around the world now, that means the International Princess Title can truly become an international championship.

Mina Shirakawa shouted out a tribute to Jushin Liger when she did the Romero Special during her match. Since he is retiring today, she thinks it is up to her to inherit the move.

The 3 Way Match was wrestled more like a Handicap match with Yuki Kamifuku and Mahiro Kiryu joining forces to fight Shoko Nakajima. She still won.

Hyper Misao’s new ring name for a month is Akemi Daredasore. Nakajima chose the name from a conversation they once had about what Misao’s student pro wrestling name would be. They came up with that. Nakajima also said she may change the name whenever the mood suits her. Daredasore wrestled in a green schoolgirl uniform because she wanted to be cute like Pom Harajuku. She also brought out tapioca tea to share with Harajuku but Daredasore almost choked on it. Harajuku found out during the match ther her Leg Kicks were ineffective because Daredasore’s large socks were acting as shin guards. So Harajuku got a pair of scissors to cut the socks off. Daredasore missed the I Am A Hero but Harajuku also missed the Pom du Justice. Daredasore was able to roll Harajuku into a pin and placed her feet on the ropes for leverage.
