2. Seiya Morohashi & Daichi Kazato Vs Ken Ohka & Tomohiro Otani
3. Hikaru Sato Vs SAGAT
4. Idea Pocket Presents: Ryu Gouma Vs Menso~re Oyaji Vs Tomoya Kawamura
5. Shuji Ishikawa, FUMA & Ladybeard Vs Hiroshi Fukuda, HIROKI & Freddy Martello
6. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Cherry (c) Vs Mio Shirai
7. Union MAX Title: Ivan Markov (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

Ivan Markov sent a message to Union for his upcoming Union MAX Title against Isami Kodaka. Markov calls his challenger one of the most dangerous wrestlers in Japan and he understands why he has to face him. Markov accuses the Japanese of hating the fact that a gaijin has their championship and no matter how cool Isami acts, the fact is Markov has beaten him once and he will do it again soon.

Mio Shirai was absent from Union’s last press conference because she was busy wrestling for Oz Academy. She was represented at the conference by a drawing of a fox and was mocked by Cherry. Shirai found out about the drawing and had it with her at today’s conference. She asked if a 39 year old woman drew the picture, pretended to be her and made fun of her wearing dark make up. Mio admits to wearing the make up but says it’s okay for someone as young as her to wear it, unlike Cherry. In regards to the Fly To Everywhere Title, Shirai has never heard any wrestler in any of the four promotions she works for say “I want that belt.” But when she becomes the champion everyone will then want to win it.

Ladybeard is in action for the first time in Union after revealing his true self. He sides with Union in their latest battle with the World Men’s Club. With MEN’s Teioh currently out of action, the Club has brought in HIROKI to take his place.

Another mysterious message made up of paper and magazine clippings was delivered to Union HQ. The message has something to do with the Hikaru Sato Vs SAGAT match.

Shinichiro Tominaga has been forced to pull out of the show after dislocating his left shoulder. Tomohiro Otani takes his place on the Ganbare☆Wrestling team.

The latest Idea Pocket Diva joining the show is Nami Minami.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “KAWASAKI FIRST MARCH”, 05/04/2014
Kawasaki Plaza Sol

1. Erin Debut Match: Erin Vs KANNA
2. 3 Way Match: Chikage Kiba Vs Shoko Nakajima Vs Ririko Kendo
3. Yuka Sakazaki Vs Saki Akai
4. Miyu Yamashita Vs Nonoko

Miyu Yamashita is determined to defeat Nonoko so the plump woman will not become the face of Tokyo Joshi Pro. Nonoko says she takes pro wrestling seriously and told a tearful story about doing rock climbing and swimsuit modelling to make a living. She found pro wrestling and wanted to find acceptance as a 22 year old woman. Yamashita didn’t care for her long story and called out Nonoko for lying about her age.

Yuka Sakazaki is unsure what to make of her opponent Saki Akai. She thinks Akai is 2m 80cm tall so she’s been watching Attack On Titan to learn how to beat giants. If Akai is a Titan then that means her weakness is the back of her neck. Sakazaki then asked Tetsuya Koda if she could bring a knife into the match to chop the back of Saki’s neck with but he told her no.

The trainee previously known as Korei now has a new ring name for her official debut. She will now be called Erin and her debut match will be against KANNA. The inspiration for the name comes from the song “Help Me, Erin!!” which she found on Nico Nico Douga. Obviously the song is going to be her entrance music.

Ladybeard will be one of the musical performers on the show.

Ayumi Takada has resigned from Tokyo Women’s Wrestling. She said she could not continue training to her limits while trying to live as a member of society.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “RAISING AN ARMY” Results

December 1, 2013

tww-debut

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “RAISING AN ARMY”, 01/12/2013
Kitizawa Town Hall
294 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. KANNA defeated Ayumi Takada with a Boston Crab (4:39).
2. Nonoko & Yuka Sakazaki defeated Ura Erika & Shoko Nakajima when Nonoko pinned Nakajima with the Pai Fly Flow (10:00).
3. Miyu Yamashita defeated Chikage Kiba with the Crash Rabbit Heat (6:54).

It took 18 months since its creation but Tokyo Joshi Pro finally held its official debut show in Kitizawa today as part of a double header with DDT.

The main event pitted the two brightest trainees of the promotion against each other. Miyu Yamashita had beaten Chikage Kiba before and today she made it two for two with her Running Kick finisher, the Crash Rabbit Heat. Yamashita declared herself as the Ace of Tokyo Joshi Pro, at least for the time being. She also called out Nonoko and challenged her to a match. In her post show interview, Yamashita said she hopes people will call her the Ace rather than a self-proclaimed one. She hopes she will get to wrestle in various places and have fun doing so. Kiba really wanted to win but felt gratitude for all the people who was involved with today’s show. She doesn’t know what Tokyo Joshi Pro will turn into but she wants to continue.

The middle match was a chance for the plump Nonoko to show off her, er… talents. Her arsenal consisted of popular moves such as the Rainmaker, the People’s Elbow and a downsized High Fly Flow (which she calls the Pai Fly Flow and claims is an original move) all modified to emphasize her K-Cup bust. It turned out to be just what was needed for her and Yuka Sakazaki to win the match. Sakazaki believed they were able to win because they had bigger busts than their opponents. Shoko Nakajima was psyched to wrestle but for the time being wants to focus on winning her first singles match. She hopes to become a fast wrestler with cool moves. For her partner Ura Erika, it was her first wrestling match in over two years.

KANNA marked off the new beginning of Tokyo Joshi Pro by earning her first ever singles victory. Her opponent Ayumi Takada was pretty much dressed like Paige from WWE NXT. When asked what she wants Tokyo Joshi Pro to be, KANNA said it is a good organization with a good atmosphere and she wants it to continue like that. Takada said she was relieved to finally debut and felt amazing after her first match.

Tetsuya Koda announced that Eri Wakamatsu from Ice Ribbon has signed with Tokyo Joshi Pro. She explained that she was starting from scratch and she wasn’t sure if she could still use her Ice Ribbon name. Her debut match and possibly a new name have not been determined yet.

The show was supposed to begin with a performance by DPG, the band featuring Hiroshi Fukuda and Antonio Honda. But before they could begin, they received a message from one of their members saying she was quitting the band. Stephanie Ayumi was no where to be seen in the arena and her bandmates were shocked at the sudden news. Honda appeared dressed as a taoist monk and was able to summon Ayumi into the arena. Ayumi had written a letter to the band and read it out to them. She said she will leave the band after today’s performance to enter pro wrestling but that does not mean she will quit being their friend. The group performed their song “Demon Of The Ring” and everyone wished her luck as Stephanie Ayumi began her second life as Ayumi Takada. Lastly, Fukuda chopped Ayumi across her chest to give her fighting spirit. Ayumi fired back with a High Kick, knocking him down and setting her off on the right path.

Kitizawa Town Hall

1. Ayumi Takada Vs KANNA
2. Ura Erika & Shoko Nakajima Vs Nonoko & Yuka Sakazaki
3. Miyu Yamashita Vs Chikage Kiba

The first proper Tokyo Joshi Pro card is now shaping up. Miyu Yamashita and Chikage Kiba will face off for the second time in their careers. Yamashita won the first bout but Kiba is confident and noted that while her opponent practices her kicks a lot, she never focuses on her ground game which is Kiba’s main strength.

The rest of the card is filling up with new faces. Ura Erika is an idol and part time wrestler. She currently stars in a pro wrestling influenced sentai show called Fire Leon. Nonoko is a “K-Cup Talent” who will have her debut wrestling match at the show. Ayumi Takada is a member of Hiroshi Fukuda’s DPG pop group. She’s the one dressed as Hit Girl and goes by the stage name Ayumi Stephanie. However she will use her real name for wrestling.
