9. Master Wato defeated Atsuki Aoyagi with the Recientemente II (14:24).

I’m only covering the matches relating to DDT, BASARA and Ganbare☆Pro but the entire event is worth watching. One of the highlights was the unexpected appearance of Kazuki Hirata for a surprise match with CIMA! Given CIMA’s history with people previously associated with the “Tokyo GO!” song, he was in no mood to dance along with Hirata. CIMA grabbed the Hirata GO! glasses to prevent the song from coming back and got boos from the crowd, causing him to sulk. Later in the match Hirata got his glasses back and convinced CIMA to put on his own pair so the two could finally dance together. They shook hands afterwards and CIMA pinned Hirata with the Somato. Backstage CIMA praised the show for bringing the entire Junior Heavyweight wrestling scene together. If there are still barriers keeping these companies apart, he thinks we should get rid of them. Hirata asked if he is invited for this kind of show again then please do not put him in the unadvertised surprise spot.

Yuki Ueno was thrown into a lucha flavored 3 Way Tag Match teaming with El Lindaman. He was in the ring from the start squaring off against both Volador Jr. and DOUKI. But as the match went on Ueno & Lindaman started bickering a little bit while trying to fight off both DOUKI & HANAOKA. Then El Desperado got a few of his opponents out of the ring for Volador to dive onto all of them. HANAOKA stopped Desperado from doing his own dive but ended up taking the Pinche Loco from him instead for the finish. Backstage Lindaman said he does not hate DDT or Ueno, he just got worked up because he wants to beat everybody. Ueno said he had fun both wrestling in this match and from watching all of the others. He believes the strongest pro wrestlers are those who enjoy wrestling and he hopes there will be a second “ALL STAR JR FESTIVAL” in the future.

Yumehito Imanari showed off his more pervy side by wearing a “Virgin Killer” sweater along with Hikaru Sato & Ryusuke Taguchi in their match. Because their costumes were at risk of becoming too revealing, their opponents were careful with how they fought to avoid shocking the audience. Batten×Blabla convinced Imanari to continue the match without the costume while Taguchi and Tigers Mask did some actual wrestling in between. Sato went on to tap out Blabla with a Cross Armbreaker. Afterwards Sato called his team the pinnacle of Japan’s Jr. division! If there are three wrestlers better than Sato, Taguchi & Imanari then send them their way. Sato has had enough of every pro wrestler trying to look cool. They should instead bare it all for the fans!

MAO wants fucked up pro wrestling for a fucked up world. Isami Kodaka wishes “Peace & Fuck” on the world. But the two of them combined still wasn’t as unusual as the combination of SHO & Onryo. SHO ended up using Onryo as a weapon by slamming him on top of MAO. Onryo got his own back by throwing his ectoplasm powder in SHO’s face. Then in an even weirder turn of events, Ram Kaichow got on the top turnbuckle and hit a Diving Cross Body on SHO. The match lost control when SHO got out of the ring, pulled the referee out with him and then started attacking him for the DQ. Kodaka got on the microphone and told SHO if he wants to use weapons so bad they should do a death match against each other! SHO refused and left ringside in a huff. Backstage Kaichow complained about the show only inviting male wrestlers. If another “ALL STAR JR FESTIVAL” happens she wants to wrestle on it!

A bonus pre-show match gave Kazuma Sumi a spot on the card and a chance to share the ring with YOH & Soma Watanabe. Sumi’s main confrontation was with Akira Jumonji but he had interactions with Fuminori Abe & Ryo Hoshino too. He ended up on the winning side thanks to YOH pinned Jumonji with the DIRECT DRIVE. Sumi thanked the organisers for inviting him and said Jr. Heavyweight wrestling is the best!

All Star Jr Festival 2023 Announced

January 23, 2023

“LEC PRESENTS JUNIOR DREAM FESTIVAL ~ALL STAR JR FESTIVAL 2023~”, 01/03/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

This is a show that has been years in the making yet I never thought was going to happen. Wrestlers like Hiromu Takahashi and El Desperado have said over and over on interviews their desire for there to be an all star show that gathers together the best junior heavyweights from across the Japanese wrestling scene. Meanwhile other junior heavyweights from different promotions keep interacting with each other on social media teasing matches at times when there were no chances of those matches ever happening. Well now it’s finally happening thanks to sponsorship from LEC, a company that seems to have sponsored every notable Japanese wrestling promotion you can think of at some point in the last decade.

The only details announced so far is it will be taking place in Korakuen Hall and will be broadcast as a PPV on NJPW World. 22 different wrestling companies are attached to the show with wrestlers and matches to be announced as soon as they are decided on.

The participating promotions are:

– Dark Pro Wrestling 666
– Osaka Pro Wrestling
– Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling
– Kyushu Pro Wrestling
– New Japan Pro Wrestling
– All Japan Pro Wrestling
– Big Japan Wrestling
– Pancrase MISSION
– Pro Wrestling SECRET BASE
– Pro Wrestling ZERO1
– Pro Wrestling NOAH
– Pro Wrestling BASARA
– Pro Wrestling FREEDOMS
– Michinoku Pro Wrestling
– Ryukyu Dragon Wrestling
– CMLL
– DDT Pro Wrestling
– DRADITION
– DragonGate
– GLEAT
– JUST TAP OUT
– 2AW

We have a lot of choices among DDT, Ganbare☆Pro and BASARA to throw onto the show. Shunma Katsumata, MAO, Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi, Keisuke Ishii, Shuichiro Katsumura, Shota, Isami Kodaka, Daiki Shimomura, Takato Nakano, the list goes on and on. Not Tetsuya Endo though. He’s been bulking up recently and now weighs over 100kg.

It’s been pointed out online that the show will take place the day after New Japan and CMLL finish up their “FANTASTICA MANIA” tour which explains why CMLL is part of an otherwise Japan only line-up. Also AEW was never going to be a part of this. Even if they could have been, the show is on a Wednesday anyway.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION” Results

September 11, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 11/09/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
155 Fans

1. Pom Harajuku defeated Haruna Neko with the Pom de Justice (8:56).
2. Dalys & Stephanie Vaquer defeated Shoko Nakajima & Moka Miyamoto when Dalys pinned Miyamoto with La Magistral Cradle (11:43).
3. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Pokotan & Demonio Uno when Sakazaki pinned Uno with the Magical Girl Splash (12:28).
4. Miyu Yamashita defeated Arisu Endo with the Skull Kick (14:04).

The 5th “TJPW INSPIRATION” was headlined by Arisu Endo taking on Miyu Yamashita in Endo’s first singles main event. She has yet to win a singles match and this is the toughest route to achieve it. She blocked an Avalanche Attitude Adjustment and used it to hit the Mt. Bandai Dropkick before applying the Camel Clutch. Yamashita reached for the rope break and relied on her kicks to take over the match, finishing Endo off with the Skull Kick. Despite losing, Endo thinks she was able to show she has grown up a little bit. Yamashita said she has high expectations for her but finds it strange how she hasn’t won a singles match yet. It might just be that Endo doesn’t realize how strong she really is.

The Magical Sugar Rabbits have long dreamed for a chance to wrestle mascots of all kinds. They took their first step towards making it come true by fighting DDT’s mascot Pokotan along with Demonio Uno, the monster of Tsurumi’s vegetable market. Yuka Sakazaki and Uno fought out to the parking lot while Mizuki and Pokotan bit each other. Back in the ring Pokotan used its own head as a weapon by hitting the Pokogoye (Kamigoye style Headbutt) to Sakazaki. Mizuki then took Pokotan out of commission by crushing its head with a Diving Double Stomp. Sakazaki was able to take care of Uno from there and got the win with the Magical Merry-Go-Round followed by the Magical Girl Splash. After the match Sakazaki called out to all mascots in Japan. The Magical Sugar Rabbits want to challenge all of them to a fight, especially if they are from Disney!

Dalys made her return to Tokyo Joshi Pro and brought along another luchadora on behalf of CMLL. She & Stephanie Vaquer were victorious against Shoko Nakajima & Moka Miyamoto. Nakajima took out both opponents with a Topé Suicida so it was left to Miyamoto to finish Dalys off. However Dalys caught her with a Modified Back Drop and used La Mistica to pin her. Nakajima was happy to wrestle Dalys again because their previous matches happened before the pandemic. It makes her want to go wrestle in Mexico again. This was Miyamoto’s first match against foreign opponents so she was able to learn how universal pro wrestling truly is.

The opening bout was Pom Harajuku beating Haruna Neko in a match between two wrestlers from the same debut class. They were also both of each other’s opponents for their first wins. Harajuku said Neko has grown into a big cat which gave her some trouble. She tried doing a rope walk but was too afraid so Neko did it to her instead. Harajuku wants to overcome that fear next time. Neko is a little upset because she lost to another classmate Mahiro Kiryu at the last “TJPW INSPIRATION” show. She has seen both of them grow this summer so she is going to try and do the same as a cat.

At the beginning of the show Suzume was given the microphone to talk about her upcoming match against Miu Watanabe on 16th September. The winner will become the No. 1 Contender for the International Princess Title. Suzume said she felt the presence of all her fans again at the summer shows where cheering was allowed. She also got to wrestle in front of new audiences through her Gatoh Move appearances as well as the “GO GIRL” show. This match is a great opportunity for her to bring TJPW to the world!

Whoever leaves the show as the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion is guaranteed to defend it in Sumo Hall this November. Keisuke Ishii was the champion before Shuichiro Katsumura won it off him back in January. Since then Katsumura has defended it five times. If he wins here then he will tie Ishii’s amount of successful defences.

Just to be clear, Kenichiro Arai is the Toryumon graduate and Yumehito Imanari is the art student.

Shota and Shinichiro Tominaga face each other in a battle between damaged ACLs.

Originally Koharu Hinata was booked for the show but she is now unable to appear. In a completely unrelated matter Miss Koharu became available so she takes her place.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “MY LIFE; LET’S ENJOY!!”, 19/10/2019
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Misao (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa

Sakisama has an appreciation for other beautiful people which is why she has at least a little respect for Yuki Kamifuku. Maybe she would have the same for Mina Shirakawa if Shirakawa ever stops trying to rap. But then again rapping is how the Cat’s Pye duo got their Princess Tag Team Titles shot.

Nakajima’s excursion to Mexico with CMLL will be over by the time this show takes place. No word yet on if she will be on this show but it’s likely. Tokyo Joshi have confirmed she will not be on the 9th, 10th and 16th November shows.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “KFC 2 DAYS ’19 ~DESERT MOON~” Results

September 16, 2019

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “KFC 2 DAYS ’19 ~DESERT MOON~”, 16/09/2019
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
340 Fans

1. Mirai Maiumi defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Lariat (5:52).
2. Maki Itoh defeated YUMI with the Itoh Special (7:23).
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa defeated Miyu Yamashita & Himawari Unagi when Shirakawa pinned Unagi with the Implant DDT (8:19).
4. Miu Watanabe, Hikari Noa & Raku defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku when Noa pinned Aino with the Uranage (12:13).
5. Sakisama & Misao defeated Rika Tatsumi & Suzume when Sakisama submitted Suzume with a Goku-rakugatame (11:26).
6. Shoko Nakajima & Mizuki defeated Dalys & Nodoka Tenma when Nakajima pinned Tenma with the Northern Lights Suplex (10:34).
7. International Princess Title: Yuna Manase defeated Natsumi Maki (c) with a Lariat (16:45).
*Natsumi Maki fails in V1. Yuna Manase becomes the 2nd International Princess Champion!

The first International Princess Title reign has been cut short over an unfortunate injury. The champion Natsumi Maki went into the match in less than 100% after suffering lower back pains from yesterday’s match. But while that did have an effect on some moves, it was Maki twisting her leg while taking the Neck Screw Hold from Yuna Manase that derailed their match. Maki was able to kick out of the pin but was unable to stand back up. She got out of the ring where the ringside attendants were able to check on her. A countout began but she got back into the ring at 18. She tried to continue fighting on one knee and refused to call off the match when asked. Maki eventually could stand back up but she was unable to walk. Manase hit a Lariat on Maki to win the championship under tragic circumstances. Manase didn’t celebrate her win. Instead she carried Maki on her back out of the ring. She was then encouraged to return and accept the title belt that she just won. Manase quickly thanked everyone for supporting Tokyo Joshi Pro and she is glad to have found this promotion.

It was announced at the start of the show that Shoko Nakajima will be going on excursion to Mexico this November. She will be gone for two weeks starting on 5th November and will be wrestling on CMLL shows during this period. But first she got to experience fighting against a luchadora by taking on Dalys in a tag match. Nakajima’s team won but Dalys pointed at the Princess Of Princess Title belt and shouted “Mexico!” after the match. Nakajima hopes she will still be the champion when she goes on her excursion so maybe a title defence against Dalys will be in store.

Opponents yesterday, partners today. Unfortunately the bond between Rika Tatsumi & Suzume couldn’t beat NEO Biishiki-gun. Even after the match Tatsumi was knocked away when she tried to confront Misao. When Tatsumi & Suzume left, Yuki Kamifuku entered the ring. She said that she wants to be as beautiful and cool as Sakisama. The best way to do that is challenge for the Princess Tag Team Titles with Mina Shirakawa! Her Cat’s Pye partner came out and said she already has a title belt but she wants to aim even higher by winning a Tokyo Joshi Pro championship. She started to rap about the challenge until Sakisama accepted so she would stop.

Hikari Noa finally gets her win over Yuki Aino.

Night, Night. Don’t Let The Dino Bite

January 23, 2012

NJPW/CMLL “NJPW PRESENTS CMLL FANTASTICA MANIA 2012”, 21/01/12
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,950 Fans – Super No Vacancy

TAKA Michinoku & Taichi defeated Danshoku Dino & Maximo when Taichi pinned Taichi with a Horizontal Cradle (8:04).

One year after teaming together, Danshoku Dino returned to New Japan to team up with the pink mohawked Luchador Maximo once again for the New Japan & CMLL co-production of “FANTASTICA MANIA”. Before their match with TAKA Michinoku & Taichi even began, Dino tried to kiss Milano Collection AT at the commentator’s table. Milano avoided Dino by dragging another commentator in his place for the kiss. Even though Dino and Maximo got along fabulously and recieved chants of “Maxi-Dino” from the fans, their efforts could not defeat TAKA & Taichi. Dino & Maximo let bygones be bygones and both kissed the referee at the same time after the match. Dino then chased Taichi into the locker room.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2012”, 29/01/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Gorgeous Matsuno & Rion Mizuki Vs DJ Nira & Shota
1. Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Hoshitango
2. 3 Way Tag Match: Masa Takanashi & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Hikaru Sato & Michael Nakazawa Vs Shigehiro Irie & Poison JULIE Sawada

4. Keisuke Ishii Vs Yuji Hino
5. Kenny Omega Vs HARASHIMA
6. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO (c) Vs Danshoku Dino

Danshoku Dino last held the KO-D Openweight Title in 2005. It was his only KO-D Title reign and since then he has had around six shots at the belt. KUDO will break the record for most KO-D Title defences if he defeats Dino.

DDT “TRULY ULTRA SUPER BAZOOKA!”, 11/02/2012
Nagoya Arsenal Hall

1. KO-D Tag Team Title: Yasu Urano & Yuji Hino (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie

The former champs get their rematch with Crying Wolf. Unsurprisingly, no one has been able to match the strength of Yuji Hino so far. Will Keisuke Ishii have discovered a fatal flaw to exploit after his Korakuen Hall match with Hino?

UNION “UNION PRO WRESTLING IN OSAKA”, 12/02/2012
Osaka Minami Move On Arena

1. Ken Ohka & Mio Shirai Vs Black Buffalo & Tigers Mask

Golden Lovers & Dino Return To NJPW

January 5, 2011

NJPW/CMLL “NJPW PRESENTS CMLL FANTASTICA MANIA 2011”, 1/23/11
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Danshoku Dino & Maximo Vs Jado & Gedo
6. Double Main Event II – IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Title: Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega (c) Vs Prince Devitt & Ryusuke Taguchi

DDT will have three wrestlers sent over to New Japan for the company’s co-promoted shows with Mexico’s CMLL. Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega and Danshoku Dino will appear on Night 2 of “FANTASTICA MANIA 2011” in Korakuen Hall.

Can the Golden Lovers make it three for three over Apollo 55? With the IWGP Jr. Tag Title victory taking place in New Japan and victory in the rematch over at DDT, Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega will face Prince Devitt & Ryusuke Taguchi for the belts one more time. Both teams are usually really over with the Korakuen fans, so expect a really hot crowd for this match.

The idea of Danshoku Dino and Maximo teaming together is not that odd now that I think of it. I mean, if Maximo can handle teaming with Mr. Niebla then hanging out with Dino should be no problem for the exotico. Plus Dino will be reunited with Jado, who he had a wonderful time with at the 2009 Super J Cup. Gedo might be pissed off with Dino for using his patented move the Gedo Clutch and renaming it the Gay-do Clutch. But then again Gedo is always pissed off, so never mind that.

DDT and CMLL do have a previous connection. The KO-D Tag Team Championship was originally created in CMLL where Takashi Sasaki & NOSAWA became the first champions. To this day DDT still includes “CMLL” in their title’s name even though they haven’t been defended in the Lucha Libre promotion ever since.
