TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2022 WINTER”, 20/01/2022
Shinjuku FACE
210 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami defeated Marika Kobashi, Raku, Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Mizuki pinned Harajuku with the Diving Foot Stomp (11:44).
2. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Moka Miyamoto & Yuki Arai defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Miyamoto submitted Endo with the Rashomon (11:41).
3. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta when Aino pinned Kakuta with the Venus DDT (13:16).
4. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Yuki Kamifuku & Asuka defeated Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh when Kamifuku pinned Itoh with the Famouser (15:57).
5. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao when Tatsumi pinned Misao with the Missile Hips (14:57).

The Max Heart Tournament is down to four teams with some heavy hitters taken out in the process. Daydream eliminated Kyoraku Kyomei in the main event. Rika Tatsumi is now confident that she & Miu Watanabe will win the tournament because they defeated the team that beat The Magical Sugar Rabbits in Round 1. Hyper Misao blames herself for losing today but Shoko Nakajima consoled her over it.

VENYU continue to be an unexpectedly powerful force by knocking out 121000000. The two singles champions of Tokyo Joshi Pro are now eliminated! Asuka and Miyu Yamashita took each other out with a Spin Kick Vs Skull Kick exchange. That left Yuki Kamifuku to take the pin after giving Maki Itoh the Famouser. Asuka was satisfied by the match. She pointed out she didn’t get to wrestle Itoh in AEW and she knew the fans wanted to see it. She was also happy to finally wrestle Yamashita. Itoh is taking the loss in her stride and clearly sees what is in her future. Kamifuku got her attention.

Never count out The Bakuretsu Sisters, even when the team is entering its twilight period. It’s their last tournament together so Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino are doing their best, beating Free WiFi as they head into the semi-finals. Tenma says they don’t need to use Free WiFi because she’s got a fixed line at home. Nao Kakuta still thinks she did well with Hikari Noa and wants them to get stronger together so they can challenge for the Princess Tag Team Titles.

The Cinderella team of the tournament turned out to be MokaYuki. A Full Nelson Buster from Yuki Arai kept Suzume down so Moka Miyamoto could make Arisu Endo submit to the Rashomon. Arai was amazed by the result because Arisuzu are a more organised team compared to their classmates. They are now carrying a lot of momentum into the next round.

The semi-final draw was held at the end of the show. All the remaining teams grabbed a piece of paper and the teams with the same colours will face each other. So on 29th January we are getting Daydream Vs MokaYuki and The Bakuretsu Sisters Vs VENYU!

Sayuri Namba was absent from the show after she tested positive for covid. Big Japan’s usual ring announcer Yuji Shindo filled in for her and Yuki Aino helped him through the opening announcements.

For the first time in a long time HARASHIMA & Soma Takao are teaming together. Takao’s heel turn in 2018 was when he betrayed HARASHIMA to join DAMNATION and kill off what was left of Smile Squash. A chance to reunite took place in March last year but that was just a ruse for Takao to embarrass him. He has since turned over a new leaf so it is up to HARASHIMA to trust him again.

Meanwhile the newly named Free WiFi face a much larger threat in the form of The Bakuretsu Sisters. There is still the other side of the bracket to get through first. The remaining matches in Round 1 take place this Saturday.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2022 ~DDT 25TH ANNIVERSARY~”, 20/03/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special Single Match: Saki Akai Vs Maya Yukihi
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo

At first Saki Akai welcomed Maya Yukihi to DDT on the condition that Yukihi had good intentions for coming here. Instead years of jealousy quickly emerged and reared its ugly head. Yukihi originally wanted to start her wrestling career in DDT but her attempts to join the company were rejected. So when she saw Akai do what she couldn’t it made her jealous. However Yukihi took a different route and is proud of the joshi career she has created for herself. A personal issue such as this is considered by Sanshiro Takagi to be big enough to be settled in Sumo Hall.

The Bakuretsu Sisters celebrated their return home to Okayama by teaming with Shoko Nakajima, reuniting the Tokyo Joshi Tokusatsu Club. After winning the main event, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino thanked everyone for gathering together for the show today. This was going to be Tenma’s last wrestling match in Okayama but it turned out to be the best one. They then said they wanted to got out and eat mochi rice cakes to celebrate. Nakajima told Tenma that next year they should put a wrestling ring in her field and hold a match at her farm. Tenma was already eating the mochi while Nakajima was telling her this.

Mizuki & Yuki Arai stacked up their opponents one by one for Yuka Sakazaki to finish them off. Arai dropped Marika Kobashi with the Full Nelson Buster, Mizuki placed Suzume onto Kobashi and Double Stomped both of them and Sakazaki threw Arisu Endo on top with the Magical Merry-Go-Round to complete the stacking.

Another first time team advanced to the Max Heart Tournament 2nd Round. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta had no problem beating the animal pairing of Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami, describing it like they just devoured a delicious meal of cat and bird. Noa & Kakuta also now have a team name. They want everybody to see their matches so their team is called Free WiFi!

GAKE NO FUCHI JOSHI PRO “CLOCKWORK GAKE NO FUCHI 2022 ~GAKE NO FUCHI VS PROMINENCE~”, 04/01/2021
Shinjuku FACE

1. Hardcore Match: Chris Brookes Vs Suzu Suzuki
2. Special Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & SenoSister Mao Inoue Vs Mochi Miyagi & Akane Fujita
3. Special Single Match ~ Gake no Fuchi Rules: Miyako Matsumoto Vs Risa Sera
4. Gake no Fuchi Vs Prominence Full Scale Battle! No DQ 8-Man Tag Match: Miyako Matsumoto, Sanshiro Takagi, Chris Brookes & (w/ Ippanjin Munenori Sawa) Vs Risa Sera, Mochi Miyagi, Akane Fujita & Suzu Suzuki (w/ Hiragi Kurumi)

This is the first challenge for Prominence since their inception. Risa Sera is close with Miyako Matsumoto and Miyamoto was even considered to be recruited for Prominence during its inception. However Matsumoto turned down the invitation out of loyalty to Gake no Fuchi, CyberFight and Sanshiro Takagi. It must be noted that Matsumoto is NOT a CyberFight employee.

When Suzu Suzuki originally debuted, people kept saying she reminded them of Matsumoto. She felt insulted by that and after holding in her feelings for so long, she will take her anger about it out on Chris Brookes. She isn’t sure how to deal with the height difference but thinks if she can beat a big man with big moves then she cane become a big woman in the ring.

Mochi Miyagi thought she would be taking on the Mao from SenoSister and was looking forward to it. Then she found out it is actually the wrestler MAO and she now wants a explanation. On the bright side she is looking forward to fighting Takagi and making him scream squeal. She isn’t the only person targeting Takagi.

Akane Fujita has accused Shunma Katsumata of stealing all of her ideas for death match weapons. She has proof of using block toys and acupuncture mats as weapons in her own matches before Katsumata used them in DDT. She isn’t facing Katsumata on this show so she will target Takagi instead because he is the DDT president.

Last but not least, Hiragi Kurumi admits she doesn’t know what she is going to do at the show. She isn’t able to wrestle at the moment so she is only advertised to accompany the rest of Prominence for the main event. She knows Munenori Sawa is doing the same so she guesses she will have to deal with him one way or another.

Today’s show was held on Yuka Sakazaki’s birthday! Her match was just as much a birthday party as it was a wrestling bout. Although Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku had no problem attacking her while Mizuki & Hikari Noa left ringside to get the birthday cake.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SE-NO, MERRY CHRISTMAS! 2021” Results

December 24, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SE-NO, MERRY CHRISTMAS! 2021”, 24/12/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
110 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Miu Watanabe defeated Haruna Neko with the Tear Drop (8:15).
2. Rika Tatsumi defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Twist Of Fate (8:28).
3. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Nakajima pinned Harajuku with the Northern Lights Suplex (12:30).
4. Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Hikari Noa & Moka Miyamoto when Itoh submitted Miyamoto with the Itoh Punish (12:53).
5. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Miyu Yamashita, Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Marika Kobashi when Mizuki pinned Kobashi with the Diving Foot Stomp (16:28).

Champions and challengers faced off on Christmas Eve as the build up to 4th January continues. Mizuki avoided the Skull Kick from Miyu Yamashita but still took a Head Kick from her later in the match. Mizuki recovered from that to get rid of Yamashita. Then with the help of Yuka Sakazaki she pinned Marika Kobashi with the Diving Foot Stomp. The Magical Sugar Rabbits and Arisuzu enjoyed teaming together and thanked the fans for gathering together to see the show on Christmas Eve.

Backstage Mizuki said when she was in the ring with Yamashita, all she wanted to do was beat her and take the Princess Of Princess Title. The High Kick shook her because she didn’t expect it. That’s a sign she isn’t as prepared as she thought she was because she had no counter for it. Yamashita said she is focused on hitting the Skull Kick on Mizuki. She has an idea to improve the move but doesn’t want to say anything out loud. All she knows is Mizuki having countermeasures for the Skull Kick is proof she is scared of the move.

Something came to Maki Itoh at the end of her tag match against Hikari Noa. She wants to take the International Princess Title from her because Noa is so proud of being the champion. Noa values the IP Title so much it makes Itoh want it even more! Noa was disappointed to be on the losing team today. She doesn’t know who she is wrestling on 27th December but she wants to win that match before we get to Ittenyon. Itoh is a strong opponent because she’s been in plenty of title matches. That only makes Noa more excited to beat her and become a stronger champion.

Both Hyper Misao and Pom Harajuku got into the Christmas spirit by wrestling in costumes. Misao was dressed as a Christmas tree and Harajuku wore a giant gift sack. Both of them argued over who had more Christmas spirit. Meanwhile Shoko Nakajima and Raku kept it basic by wearing reindeer antlers and ringing a bell. Harajuku threw the sack over Misao and her own partner Raku, keeping them wrapped together. That meant Raku couldn’t save her when Nakajima hit the 619 and then the Northern Lights Suplex to win.

The Bakuretsu Sisters will be part of a collaboration with the clothing brand ScoLar for the Ittenyon show.

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.

The return of Toyko Joshi Pro’s fan club show featured a lot of unusual matches. The main event had all the wrestlers wearing different costumes from the TJPW roster. They were randomly chosen at the start of the show by picking mystery bags left in the ring. Mizuki wore Yuka Sakazaki’s gear, Rika Tatsumi was dressed as Nodoka Tenma, Marika Kobashi got Shoko Nakajima’s costume and to finish it off Pom Harajuku appeared as Miyu Yamashita. Everyone tried to copy the wrestlers they were dressed as.

Instead of having a wrestling match Yuka Sakazaki and Nao Kakuta took part in an Athletic Meet. They faced each other in three games. The first was an obstacle course where they had to spin around in circles, bite a piece of bread hanging over their heads, search for a piece of candy hidden in a plate of powder using only their mouths and then run a lap around the ring. Sakazaki won that race and earned 10 points. The 2nd game was a Three-legged Race with Sakazaki teaming with Suzume and Kakuta teaming with Moka Miyamoto. They all had to race out of the venue to the nearby shop, buy something Daisuke Kiso would like for less than 500 yen and make it back to the venue first. Bonus points were given based on how much Kiso liked his gift. Kakuta & Miyamoto won the race and bought a can of beer for Kiso (Sakazaki & Suzume got protein milk). Kakuta was given 9 points out of 10. She was deducted one point because the beer wasn’t Kiso’s favourite flavour. The final game worth 30 points was a Horse Fight. One team lifted Sakazaki onto their shoulders and another lifted up Kakuta. They had to fight in the air and grab their opponent’s hat from their head to win. Sakazaki got to grab Kakuta’s hat first, winning both the round and the entire match.

On the morning of the show, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino had an accident where they fell and hit their heads. The result was both of them had personality changes and turned into a bunch of delinquents! They trapped Daisuke Kiso in the corner with tape and threatened him with a knife! Hyper Misao couldn’t fight them off by herself so she called for another superhero to help her. It was The Return Of Ultra Shoko to the rescue! Together they defeated The Bakuretsu Sisters and turned them back to normal. But it wasn’t entirely a heroic situation. Tenma held Kiso hostage again but Shoko decided to ignore it. She told the “middle aged man” Kiso to die for justice so she could hit the Ultra 619 on Aino and win the match. Sacrificing captives isn’t the right thing for superheroes to do but it got results so what do I know?

Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku both sang “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis” for their entrance. After they defeated Mirai Maiumi & Kaya Toribami, Itoh said she is going to win the Princess Of Princess Title at Ota Ward Gymnasium.

Miyu Yamashita wore her old costume to fit in with The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) more. She was the “Hot Pink” member of the group today. Together they sang “Upper Kick” to open the show. When it was time to wrestle, the other members had to remind Yamashita she is an idol and couldn’t act aggressive. She got back into character and was still able to win the match for her team.
