*V3 for Mizuki.

The history between Mizuki and Maki Itoh that begun under the original Itoh Respect Army seven years ago reached its dramatic peak in Ota Ward Gymnasium today. Mizuki successfully defended the Princess Of Princess Title in the main event, stopping Itoh from winning the title in her fourth attempt. The champion had the injured Yuka Sakazaki in her corner while Itoh came out singing “Brooklyn The Hole” in English. Itoh’s focus was to use variations of the DDT both inside and out of the ring. Mizuki did her own big moves outside the ring including the Cutie Special and a Flying Cross Body. Submission holds couldn’t finish the job either with both the Itoh Deluxe and Crossface Lock proving fruitless. Mizuki dealt a big blow by landing the Diving Double Stomp onto Itoh’s back. Itoh clung onto Mizuki and was able to deliver one last Headbutt in resistance but Mizuki fired back with a Spinning Back Elbow and pinned her with the Cutie Special.

After the match Mizuki said she never believed Itoh when she said she wanted to forget their history together and that the Itoh Mizuki knew is dead. They walked the same path together and Mizuki always looked up to Itoh as her rival. Itoh however said Mizuki doesn’t understand how Itoh feels. She doesn’t like to talk about the past because when they were together, Itoh saw Mizuki become stronger and win championships with someone else. It made Itoh jealous and she looks back on their time together a a black piece of history. It is only right now in the middle of Ota Ward that Itoh now believes she is on the same level as Mizuki. For that reason Mizuki now has her respect and she wants to continue fighting with her. The two shook hands and gave each other a hug. Itoh left the ring so Mizuki could close out the show.

The burning momentum of Yuki Aino wasn’t enough to take the International Princess Title from Rika Tatsumi. She showed a lot of power by using the Side Suplex outside the ring as well as one over the ropes from the ring apron! Tatsumi tried to smother her out with the Dragon Sleeper but Aino powered out of it with a slam. Tatsumi found a way to put her into another Dragon Sleeper but Aino reached the ropes. Aino withstood a Hip Attack and caught Tatsumi in the middle of a second one but Tatsumi wriggled her way into hitting the Twist Of Fate. She then got the win by hitting the Missile Hip. Tatsumi gave her opponent credit for shining as brightly as she did. She hopes the fans will look forward to more matches between them in the future. Aino said the result proves she is not ready to hold a title belt yet. But she had fun in the match because she was able to burn every last bit of energy she has.

NEO Biishiki-gun were back to give their opponents a hard time. That was shown when Mei Saint-Michel danced in the ring to distract the referee while Sakisama attacked Wakana Uehara on the outside. Saint-Michel later dropped her metal tray over Uehara’s head to break up a Sleeper Hold. Yuki Arai pulled out a surprise by using Saki Akai’s finisher the Rookie Award on Sakisama. NEO Biishiki-gun regained their composure and Sakisama hit the similar looking Academy Award to pin Uehara and win the match. Sakisama did not like hearing reporters compare the two moves during her post-match interview because she is one of a kind. In Arai’s interview, she explained that Akai taught her the move but she never got the chance to use it when they teamed together. She felt today was as good a time as any to start using the move because she thinks Sakisama bares a resemblance to Akai. She intends to keep using it more often.

Perhaps Miyu Yamashita didn’t realize just what she was getting into when she decided to put her EVE Title on the line against Sawyer Wreck. The Spirit Of EVE ruleset used for the title match allowed the fight to be taken outside the ring because there are no countouts. The rules also permitted the wrestlers to use weapons under certain circumstances, which Wreck gladly took advantage of. She attacked Yamashita with chairs and slammed her through a pile of them with a Death Valley Driver over by the stage entrance. Back in the ring Yamashita did her best to deflect the chair with kicks. Wreck was able to defend herself from one Skull Kick but a second one reached its target and gave Yamashita her seventh successful EVE Title defence.

The originally planned match for Nyla Rose didn’t take place because of Sakazaki’s injury. So when Rose found out her new opponent was Miu Watanabe she steadily gained weight to make it more difficult for Watanabe to lift her! As soon as the AEW wrestler arrived in Japan she loaded up on pork cutlet curry and sashimi at the nearest Cocoichi curry house. The plan just about worked. Watanabe was able to give her the Giant Swing but only for one rotation. She also wasn’t strong enough to deliver the Tear Drop. Rose took advantage and landed the Beast Bomb to win. Watanabe did leave a positive impression on Rose though. Rose said that even though Watanabe lost, she definitely has something that could open the door into a new world for her.

No Tag Rules were a last minute addition to the 3 Way Tag match. The time for Aja Kong and Max The Impaler to meet again was just about to begin when Hyper Misao got on the microphone to big up Kyoraku Kyomei’s chances of winning. Both Kong and Max ignored her so she sprayed both of them in the face. Kyoraku Kyomei then stole Kong’s steel can as well as Raku’s pillow but Kong attacked them to reclaim the items. Kong even hit Shoko Nakajima with the pillow while Raku hit Pom Harajuku with the can! Kong and Max were on an even level whenever they got the chance to fight each other. They briefly joined forces against Kyoraku Kyomei only to turn on each other. Misao brought out the Hyper Mobile to crash into everyone outside the ring while Nakajima pinned Harajuku with the Diving Senton to win. Kong took her anger out after the match by attacking the Hyper Mobile, damaging it to the point where it is now unusable! Kyoraku Kyomei are thinking about crowdfunding a new one or at least convince CyberFight to get a bicycle sponsorship. Kong & Raku said they’d rather crowdfund a new steel can and pillow for themselves.

It was a clean sweep of successful title defences throughout the whole show. Vert Vixen was the first one on the board by defending the DEFY Women’s Title against Hikari Noa. The challenger used the Running Neckbreaker Drop that’s been winning matches for her recently but it didn’t get her the result this time. The Last Supper cradle didn’t work either. Instead Vixen pinned Noa with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster. She said the match was like a war but she was able to fight and defend her championship. Noa said she was very happy to be chosen by Vixen for a title match. They’ve teamed together during Vixen’s previous visit to Japan and Noa always wanted to have a title match with somebody she considers to be a tag team partner.

Flashy entrances were provided by both teams in Match #3. VENYU were accompanied by two dancers leading them down to the ring while Nao Kakuta looked dressed to party with Ryo Mizunami. The match started with a bang when Asuka Moonsaulted onto everyone outside the ring. Yuki Kamifuku then put on Mizunami’s entrance gear to taunt her but was reduced to apologising once Mizunami got her hands on her. VENYU gave Kakuta the Magic Killer but Kakuta kicked out at two. She then dodged a Double Big Boot leading VENYU to collide with each other and then get wiped out with a Double Spear from Mizunami. Kakuta then scored the win by pinning Kamifuku with the Shiden Kai.

Five of the eight wrestlers in the 8-Woman Tag Match all only just debuted this year. The match was also Haruna Neko’s return match from a knee injury. Her scratching the wrestlers from the other team led to Mahiro Kiryu apologising to everyone for it. Shino Suzuki and Haru Kazashiro started off before Kiryu and Kaya Toribami took over. Toga cut off HIMAWARI’s momentum with what is fast becoming her signature Elbow Strike. Runa Okubo joined in with her classmate for a Double Dropkick. But HIMAWARI turned the tables and locked Kazashiro in a Half Crab hold for the submission victory.

Juria Nagano was back in action after being gone for six months with a broken finger. The decision was made to have Nagano team with Moka Miyamoto because they were opponents on last year’s show. Nagano went back to using her Karate offence while relying on Miyamoto to make up for the holes in her game. Suzume used her speedy mobility to run circles around her opponents, keeping them in position for Arisu Endo to hit a Missile Dropkick on Miyamoto. Endo then put Nagano in the Camel Clutch, submitting her to give Daisy Monkey the win. Nagano said she’s been trying to build up her stamina to get ready for the match. Her goal is to win a match by herself again as soon as possible.

The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) performed their new song “Rxck it Now” at the beginning of the show. Their new 5th member Uta was also introduced to the audience. her thing on the microphone is to review a different ice cream every show. Today’s recommendation is chocolate coffee flavour.

At the beginning of the show Sayuri Namba found out that voice actress Rica Matsumoto was doing special guest commentary today. Namba was so excited to find out the voice of Ash/Satoshi from Pokémon was here that she wore the character’s signature cap during the show opening announcements.

Aja Kong Vs Super Sasadango Machine was announced for the Niigata show on 5th August.

A team series challenge was recorded at an outdoor amusement park recently. It will air on PPV through Wrestle Universe on 27th July.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR IN SPRING ’23” Results

June 24, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR IN SPRING ’23”, 24/06/2023
Kobe Art Center
316 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Kaya Toribami defeated Haru Kazashiro with the Bird Cage (5:43).
2. Nao Kakuta defeated Toga with the Homare (5:36).
3. 3 Way Match: Yuki Kamifuku defeated Hikari Noa and Shino Suzuki when Kamifuku pinned Suzuki with the Famouser (5:42).
4. Yuki Arai defeated HIMAWARI with the Sasori Katame (8:18).
5. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Nakajima pinned Harajuku with the Northern Lights Suplex (11:32).

7. Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Moka Miyamoto defeated Mizuki, Suzume & Arisu Endo when Itoh submitted Endo with the Itoh Deluxe (14:39).

The return of Maki Itoh from her American tour means her program with Mizuki finally gets back on track. Today’s show was in Mizuki’s hometown of Kobe and she rallied the fans to be behind her instead of Itoh and Miyu Yamashita. As Itoh would go on to tell everybody after the match, the booing pissed her off and flicked the switch inside her. She fired up and submitted Arisu Endo to win for her team.

Backstage Yamashita told reporters her three month stay in America has made her more open minded because she discovered how much anything goes in American wrestling. Itoh said she got tougher in America because she was able to wrestle around 10 matches in the space of a month. Moka Miyamoto told the two of them she felt lonely while they were gone but she also got tremendously stronger too. Mizuki is now left figuring out what is missing from her game that prevented her from winning today’s match.

Match #5 was a preview of the 3 Way Tag Match happening at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’23”. Future opponents Raku and Pom Harajuku had to team up against Kyoraku Kyomei. Next month Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao will face both of them again but this time Raku will be with Aja Kong and Harajuku will have Max The Impaler with her!

Yuki Arai got to have a singles match against a lesser experienced opponent for the first time when she took on HIMAWARI. She doesn’t know if she looked like a veteran out in the ring but she was able to win with a Scorpion Deathlock.

The next “TJPW INSPIRATION” will be held on 17th August. The first match announced for the show is Mizuki Vs Aiger.

Then news of Sakazaki’s injury came out so Mizuki is now teaming with Emi Sakura. Those two teaming together again is newsworthy by itself.

This weekend’s show has a couple of firsts. It is the first main event match for HIMAWARI. It’s the first time Hyper Misao & Yoshiko Hasegawa are teaming together. It is also Runa Okubo’s first singles match of her career.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2023”, 25/06/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Toru Owashi & Yuni Vs Akito, Soma Takao, Kazuma Sumi & Rukiya
1. Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai, Hideki Okatani & Sanshiro Takagi Vs Ryota Nakatsu, Yuki Ishida, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima
7. DDT Extreme Title – Survival 3 Way Match: MAO Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Yoshihiko

A third party wants to fight MAO and Kazuki Hirata over the vacant DDT Extreme Title! A few days ago Yoshihiko pinned both of them at the same time and believes it now qualifies to be part of the title match. A 3 Way Match was suggested and MAO liked the idea because he wants to fight Yoshihiko more often. They all agreed to make it under elimination rules because everybody expects Hirata will get immediately pinned. Since the match is headlining the show it would be a waste to set up a 3 Way only for it to end so quickly. All three wrestlers are happy with the decision. Yoshihiko gets to fight for a championship, MAO gets to fight Yoshihiko again and Hirata gets to be in the main event even if might only for a few seconds!

The 37KAMIINA are getting prepared for the vacant KO-D Tag Team Titles match. When Shunma Katsumata was having his surgery, he came up with a new tag team finishing move for Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima to use. Every duo combination in The 37KAMIINA so far has their own version of the MADMAX finisher. This one is called the My MADMAX because Katsumata thought of it by himself. They all held a training session together along with Rukiya being used as the crash test dummy. After a few practice tries, the My MADMAX was discovered to be a Spike Air Raid Crash. They all believe the move is easier to use on Daisuke Sasaki. However if they can pull it off on MJ Paul then it will be even more damaging to an opponent his size.

Honda already said his piece defending Brookes against Hino. Now he has to step in the ring and meet Hino face to face with the help of Higuchi & Masahiro Takanashi. They need the help because Hino & Makoto Oishi have Jun Akiyama on their side!

The match order other than the main event and dark match has not been determined yet.

Katsumata came up with another idea to help Kojima grow. He’s making Kojima team with Atsushi Onita for a Hardcore Tag Match against Eruption! Katsumata would team with Kojima himself but while he is out injured, he thinks Onita is more than a suitable replacement to do something crazy.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STICK OUT ’23” Results

June 11, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STICK OUT ’23”, 11/06/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
604 Fans

1. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta defeated Toga & Runa Okubo when Noa pinned Toga with a Running Neckbreaker Drop (7:04).
2. Pom Harajuku defeated HIMAWARI with the Pom de Justice (8:05).
3. Yuki Kamifuku, Kaya Toribami & Wakana Uehara defeated Yuki Arai, Raku & Shino Suzuki when Kamifuku pinned Suzuki with the Famouser (9:51).
4. Hyper Misao defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Hypami Returns (8:53).
5. Shoko Nakajima & Moka Miyamoto defeated Suzume & Haru Kazashiro when Miyamoto submitted Kazashiro with the Rashomon (13:35).
6. 1 Vs 2 Handicap Match: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Mizuki when Tatsumi pinned Mizuki with the Missile Hip (17:08).
7. International Princess Title Next Challenger Match: Yuki Aino defeated Arisu Endo with the Venus DDT (14:27).

A sudden change in plans shifted the match between Yuki Aino and Arisu Endo into the main event of today’s show. With a shot at the International Princess Title on the line, both women went out there to fight their best. Endo defended herself from the Side Suplex and Venus DDT while going high risk by doing the Tsuruga Castle from the ring apron to the floor as well as an Avalanche Waterwheel Drop back into the ring. Aino was put in the Camel Clutch, reached the ropes but was dragged back away from them. She was able to reach a rope break for a second time to finally free herself. Aino then used her sister’s Bulldog Headlock on Endo to set up the Venus DDT finish.

After the match Aino praised Endo for a strong performance and said she was glad to have fought her today. The two hugged before Endo left the ring to be replaced with Rika Tatsumi. The champion told Aino they will have their title match at Ota Ward Gymnasium for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’23” on 8th July. She knows the world will be watching so they are going to have a match so exciting it will be heard around the globe! Aino promised to do her part and blow away all her doubts and fears.

The reason for the change in match order was because of Yuka Sakazaki’s neck injury. She appeared in the ring with Mizuki at the beginning of the show to return the vacated Princess Tag Team Titles to Tetsuya Koda. Sakazaki explained to the fans how upset she is over the news and it makes her feel bad for Mizuki too. Her doctor said her neck is in bad shape but she personally thinks she is able to wrestle today. While she tried to protest the decision, Mizuki calmed her down and reminded her it will go against her doctor’s orders. The worst thing that could happen is if Sakazaki wrestles today and injures herself even more. Mizuki convinced Sakazaki to vacate the titles and believe in her as she fights Daydream on her own. The reason why Mizuki refused to get a replacement partner is because she wanted to carry Sakazaki’s feelings into the match by herself.

Sakazaki returned later in the show to be in Mizuki’s corner for the Handicap Match against Daydream. The match was indeed 2 Vs 1 but who was at a disadvantage changed around thanks to a mischievous plan from Mizuki. It’s well known at this point that Tatsumi has a crush on Mizuki. So Mizuki did her best to use Daydream’s teamwork against them, tricking Tatsumi into doing double team moves with her instead of Miu Watanabe! Tatsumi was briefly blinded with love to fall for the plan until she snapped out of it. Mizuki was now at the disadvantage so she pulled out the Whirling Candy to get rid of Watanabe. But Tatsumi stopped her momentum with the Hip Attack, Twist Of Fate and then the Missile Hip to win. Everyone from both Daydream and The Magical Sugar Rabbits bowed to each other after the match. Backstage both teams promised to have their match agains someday no matter where it takes place.

Haru Kazashiro’s progress as a rookie has seen her quickly moving up the card into positions against more established opponents. She got to team with Suzume in a losing effort against Shoko Nakajima & Moka Miyamoto. Suzume kept Nakajima at bay with the Ring A Bell, giving Kazashiro an opening to score a nearfall on Miyamoto with a Low Cross Body. Miyamoto returned fire and made Kazashiro submit to the Rashomon.

A singles match between Hyper Misao and Mahiro Kiryu was put together to capitalise on their story from last month’s “HYPE!” show. Misao came out dressed in her producer outfit armed with a megaphone. Kiryu used her Apology Knee Drop to apologise for standing out too much during Misao’s show. After Misao won the match she shook hands with Kiryu. But just when it looked like they still get along, Misao got a cheap shot in and kicked Kiryu before happily walking away.

Today was eventful for Yuki Arai. She had her return match coming back from a minor foot injury. She showed her foot was 100% by giving Yuki Kamifuku a Big Boot during the match. She also joined in with Raku’s Oyasumi Express. Kamifuku returned the favour by giving Arai a Big Boot of her own. Kaya Toribami & Wakana Uehara showed off their speed with Uehara in particular doing a Space Rolling Elbow to Shino Suzuki in the corner. Shino Suzuki locked in a Sleeper Hold on Kamifuku but it didn’t work out in the end. Kamifuku landed a Dropkick to Suzuki and then pinned her with the Famouser.

After the match it was announced that Arai & Uehara will team up at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’23” to take on NEO Biishiki-gun! Arai said backstage that she has never met anyone from that group before but always wanted to fight them. She was asked by a reporter if she thinks Sakisama is anything like her tag team partner Saki Akai? Arai noticed the two do look alike so if there are other similarities between them it might give her a bit of an advantage due to what she learned from teaming with Akai.

Pom Harajuku braided her hair to try and match HIMAWARI’s look for their match together. Her attempts to copy HIMAWARI by doing Hair Whips only made her opponent mad and Hair Whip her back. Harajuku then challenged HIMAWARI to race her around the outside of the ring in opposite directions. They did so with HIMAWARI dropping down for Harajuku to hop over her. It went on until Harajuku tripped and fell face first in front of her. Harajuku got her act together back in the ring and won with the Pom de Justice.

The opening match saw Free WiFi defeat the rookie team of Toga & Runa Okubo. Toga got a big hit on Hikari Noa with her Elbow Strike whie Okubo showed her strength by Body Slamming Nao Kakuta. But Kakuta gave Toga a Neck Snap over the top rope and Noa followed up with a Running Neckbreaker Drop for the three count.

Before the matches began, The Up Up Girls performed their new single “Babyface” and then introduced the audience to their newest member Uta. The 16 year old high school student told the fans her favourite wrestler and idol is Miu Watanabe. Her hobbies include watching pro wrestling, drinking all-you-can-drink juice and tea, and watching cute idols on TikTok. Her special skills are reviewing ice cream, playing badminton and table tennis and also talking at a machine gun like speed.

Juria Nagano announced her return match will be at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’23”. She’s been out of action since January due to a broken finger on her left hand. She told the fans she will do her best to show everyone she has powered up for her return.

A collaboration between NEW ERA and Tokyo Joshi Pro is in the works. TJPW logo baseball caps will be sold soon starting at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’23”

The 16 wrestlers entering the Tokyo Princess Cup are Mizuki, Rika Tatsumi, Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima, Miu Watanabe, Hyper Misao, Yuki Aino, Yuki Kamifuku, Nao Kakuta, Hikari Noa, Raku, Suzume, Arisu Endo, Yuki Arai, Moka Miyamoto and Mahiro Kiryu. The brackets will be decided on a later date.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HYPER MISAO PRODUCE – HYPE!” Results

May 25, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HYPER MISAO PRODUCE – HYPE!”, 25/05/2023
Tokyo Kitazawa Town Hall
202 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Hyper Misao II Audition: Suzume defeated Miu Watanabe by Ring Out (11:28).
Order Of Elimination: Moka Miyamoto, Yuki Kamifuku, Raku & HIMAWARI and Miu Watanabe.
2. Special Single Match: Yoshihiko defeated Shoko Nakajima with s Cradle (12:26).
3. Miracle Heart Catch Shuffle Tag Tournament Final: Rika Tatsumi & Arisu Endo defeated Yuki Aino & Mahiro Kiryu when Tatsumi submitted Kiryu with the White Dragon Sleeper (11:46).

Today’s show came entirely from the mind of Hyper Misao. She was the producer so anything she said, goes. Proof of that was seen in the first match. It was a Battle Royal where the winner is rewarded with the right to become Hyper Misao II. Nobody booked for the match wanted to be a part of it so Misao gathered them all into a room before the show and brainwashed them into worshipping her. The result was everybody entering the Battle Royal wearing a different Hyper Misao costume from over the years and imitating her gimmick. Miu Watanabe and Yuki Kamifuku fought over the microphone, Raku wore Misao’s very first costume, HIMAWARI showed up as Akemi Daredasore and Moka Miyamoto did all of Misao’s superhero poses. Suzume ended up as the last Misao standing after all six of them sprayed each other in the face. Her full reward was an invitation to join the Hypami Lecture and it will only cost her 990,000 yen (discounted because Suzume already has a superhero costume). Suzume realised this whole thing was a scam and she snapped out of her brainwashing. She stopped Misao from brainwashing her again, took off her mask and told everyone she wants to do her best by being herself.

A first time ever matchup between Shoko Nakajima and Yoshihiko was next. It was a chance for Nakajima to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title, which she has only held once previously. Yoshihiko ignored a customary handshake before the match began. The two grappled with Yoshihiko getting the upper hand and sending his opponent out of the ring. It followed up with a big Topé Suicida but Nakajima used her big kaiju strength to lift Yoshihiko up with a Gorilla Press onto the ring apron. Back in the ring Nakajima targeted Yoshihiko’s legs with submission holds. Yoshihiko reached the ropes and the two started throwing blows back and forth. It led to a scramble of pins after a Hurricanrana ending with Yoshihiko keeping Nakajima’s shoulders pinned to the mat long enough for the three count.

The third and final match revealed that even though Hyper Misao produced this show, the hero of today’s story was actually Mahiro Kiryu. Her match teaming with Yuki Arai against Rika Tatsumi & Arisu Endo was suddenly revealed to be the final of the Miracle Heart Catch tournament, a previously unannounced competition shuffling random teams together. Endo had Kiryu trapped in the Camel Cluch late in the match when all of a sudden time froze and a masked woman who looks like Hyper Misao entered the ring. Only Kiryu was still conscious and the women told her she must win this match otherwise the world will collapse! She freed Kiryu from Endo’s frozen grip and the two travelled to another dimension where Kiryu will have another match and win it to save the world.

They found a dimension where Sanshiro Takagi and Tetsuya Koda were looking over resumes for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s new project, a unit of pro wrestling idols collaborating with The Up Up Girls. In this dimension Koda rejects the application from Hikari Noa because she is just a high school student from Hokkaido. Instead Mahiro was chosen as the mahjong loving blue member of The Up Up Girls, Mamamama Mahiro! In the ring she performed two songs with Watanabe & Raku then wrestled her match. Things suddenly went wrong and Mahiro was almost pinned by Tatsumi when time again froze and the masked woman sent her to another dimension to start their plan all over.

This time they entered a dimension at the point in time where Mahiro had not debut yet. Takagi came up with an idea to give TJPW a Takarazuka Revue gimmick and Mahiro was the perfect candidate. She was going to become the Romeo to Aino’s Juliet. However when it was time for the Miracle Heart Catch Final, she discovered that Tatsumi & Endo also had completely different gimmicks. They were now like the violent heels from 1980s joshi attacking their opponents with canes and chains! Mahiro tried her best to defend Aino but suffered the consequences. She was about to lose again when time froze once more. It was time to visit yet another dimension.

The masked woman decided to keep things simple this time and went to a dimension where she simply spiked Tatsumi & Endo’s drinks before the final. It caused the two of them to enter the match with stomach aches while Kiryu & Aino were in perfect condition. Then a twist nobody could see coming suddenly happened. The match was interrupted by the Chiisiki-gun, this dimension’s Biishiki-gun equivalent! Chiisakisama and her devoted maid (who looked a lot like Haruna Neko & Antonio Honda respectively) had crashed the tournament and were now Kiryu’s new opponents! Kiryu was once again going to lose the match when time froze once again. However they were about to reach the end of the road.

A voice from the Space-Time Police interrupted the proceedings and revealed to Kiryu that the masked woman’s real identity is Hyper Misao! They weren’t in fact travelling through different dimensions but were instead travelling back through their own timeline over and over in an effort to rewrite history. Misao defended her plan, asking Mahiro if she ever wanted to go back to the past and correct her mistakes? It is something Misao has been asking herself for the last eight years. As she was saying this she suddenly began to realize that she can’t change the world after all. Kiryu told Misao she used to be a recluse just like her. Kiryu only had her mother’s support to rely on and that helped her gradually become a member of society. However one day her mother’s health began to deteriorate and they soon learned she did not have long left to live. Kiryu could not figure out what to do and had no answer other than wishing it was just a dream. She felt emotionless about her own life until she came across a video of DDT doing their street pro wrestling matches. Just like Misao, she thought it looked so much fun and it made her decide to become a pro wrestler. Kiryu has many regrets but becoming a pro wrestler is not one of them. She cannot change her past but she can change her present and future. Misao understood and for one final time they travelled back to the past to right before today’s main event began.

The match began from the beginning and this time Kiryu was full of determination. She went toe to toe against her opponents, fighting her way out of Endo’s Camel Clutch and grabbing hold onto Tatsumi’s legs to cut off her mobility. She gave Tatsumi the Spinebuster but Endo broke the pin at two. Tatsumi caught her in a Sleeper Hold and transitioned it into the White Dragon Sleeper. Kiryu held on for as long as she could but had no choice but to give up in the end. Afterwards Tatsumi admitted she didn’t expect to see Kiryu be so good in the match today. Kiryu just taught her that whenever she falls down she should look forward and keep going. The two hugged and brought Misao into the ring to close out the show.

Misao told Kiryu she did a good job today and offered her the microphone to speak. Kiryu thanked the audience for coming to see the show and is surprised to see so many people here. Misao said this whole reckless match was her idea. As you can see from the show poster, she brought all these wrestlers together to fight inside her mind. She thinks everybody in TJPW are so incredibly talented that they can all handle her crazy ideas. She didn’t plan on a show closing catchphrase so she thought of one on the spot. In English she told everyone “I get hype! We get hype!”

May 5, 2023

Tokyo Korakuen Hall
774 Fans

1. HIMAWARI defeated Shino Suzuki with a Half Crab Hold (6:28).

7. International Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) defeated Suzume with the Missile Hip (13:28).
*V3 for Rika Tatsumi.
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) defeated Sawyer Wreck with the Cutie Special (11:24).
*V2 for Mizuki.

A Princess Of Princess Title defence unlike any other was the big match for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s annual Golden Week show in Korakuen Hall. The champion Mizuki faced that tall challenge of Sawyer Wreck, an American wrestler fond of having death matches. The massive height difference between the two resulted in Wreck throwing Mizuki around the ring and outside it too. A Diving Cross Body from Mizuki was caught and countered into a Power Bomb. But Mizuki found opening after opening to hit Diving Double Stomps, causing a lot of damage to the challenger. A ref bump led to Wreck bringing in several chairs but Mizuki fought her off and escaped from a Choke Slam attempt. She had the strength to throw Wreck with the Cutie Special and land one more Diving Foot Stomp before using another Cutie Special for the successful title defence.

The two hugged each other after the match and Wreck left ringside to a good ovation from the fans. Mizuki said on the microphone she was nervous to fight against a big opponent but she did it to give fans the full taste of TJPW. Suddenly Maki Itoh entered the ring to challenge Mizuki for the Princess Title! Mizuki said Itoh was late because she remembers a promise the two made years ago. They promised back then that when Mizuki became the champion she would have a title match with Itoh. She’s happy it will finally get to happen so she wants it to take place in Ota Ward Gymnasium on 8th July for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’23”! Itoh didn’t say anything in response. She just gave Mizuki the middle finger and left the ring. Backstage Itoh said she will be going back to America from around 19th May. She is making the decision to stay there until the Fukuoka homecoming show on 25th June in order to train for the title match. In response to this, Mizuki wants to focus on defending the Princess Tag Team Titles until Itoh returns.

Rika Tatsumi is left looking for more challengers after her third defence of the International Princess Title. Her opponent Suzume went straight for the win from the start with Cradles and roll ups until Tatsumi took her outside the ring and used her Choking attacks. She also threw Suzume’s leg against the ring post. Suzume survived the use of Dragon Sleepers and Hip Attacks to use the Ring A Bell but she was too damaged to make the pin. Suzume then applied her own Sleeper but Tatsumi broke out of it to hit another Hip Attack. Firmly in control at this point, Tatsumi used the Twist Of Fate and then the Missile Hip to finish Suzume off. Tatsumi said afterward this win was an important one and she expects to be defending the IP Title for the rest of her life. There is one person she wants to have a title match with but she wouldn’t reveal who it is. All she said is when the time comes. the fans should not miss it. Backstage Suzume was in tears. She admires Tatsumi so much but she’s upset to let down the all the fans who wanted to see her win the championship. She won’t give up chasing after Tatsumi and hopes she will continue defending “the most beautiful belt in the world” until she gets to challenge her again.

Yuki Arai celebrated two years as a pro wrestler by asking her rival idol Maki Itoh to team together for the first time. Itoh claims she agreed to do this only because Miyu Yamashita isn’t around. Their opponents were Yuka Sakazaki & Shoko Nakajima, the two of them coming back together for a Miraclians reunion. Arai got to show how much she has progressed in the last two years but she still fell to Sakazaki’s Merry-Go-Round to take the loss. Arai said the last two years have gone by so quickly but she has high hopes for her next year. Sakazaki & Nakajima were happy to bring Miraclians back for the occasion. They originally came up with the team name because at the time they were two losers looking to create a miracle. Today they discovered they can still make miracles together.

The two members of Daydream and Daisy Monkey that weren’t in the IP Title match faced off against each other lower down the card. Arisu Endo tried her best to grab and stretch Miu Watanabe but the power difference was just too much for her to overcome. Watanabe powered out of the Camel Clutch and pinned Endo with the Tear Drop to win the match. With Tatsumi’s win later in the show it was a clean sweep for Daydream over Daisy Monkey.

Ryo Mizunami returned to TJPW for her fourth match in the company to team up with Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami to take on Free WiFi & Yuki Aino. At first Mizunami’s team were the ones in danger when Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta wiped out her partners and left it up to Aino to finish the job. But the UVB was countered into an STO followed by a Short-Range Lariat. Mizunami then pinned Aino with the Hot Limit to take victory from the jaws of defeat. The two of them kept going after the match was over so this may not be the end of Mizunami’s visits to TJPW.

The friendship between Yuki Kamifuku and Mahiro Kiryu allows them to be somewhat cheeky towards each other whenever they are on opposite sides of the ring. When Kiryu was doing her Kneeling Apology spot on Wakana Uehara, Kamifuku kicked her off. Kiryu then grabbed Kamifuku and threw her on top of Uehara so she could apologise to everyone for her previous apology getting interrupted. Toga got involved with her Elbow Strikes but she ended up getting pinned with Kamifuku’s Famouser.

Today is Children’s Day in Japan so Hyper Misao had to team with the two teenagers Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo. They both showed up wearing similar superhero masks and promised to play fair with their opponents. The other team didn’t believe them and were eventually proven right. Kazashiro & Okubo choked Pom Harajuku with their cloaks and caused her to throw a tantrum. She thought she should get to celebrate the holiday too because she is “3 years old”. Haruna Neko also got into the antics by blinding Misao with her own spray. Misao fought back by putting Harajuku in the Crossface Chickenwing until Raku & Neko broke the hold. Kazashiro & Okubo cleared both of them from the ring so Misao could beat Harajuku with the I Am A Hero.

HIMAWARI was able to beat Shino Suzuki in the opening match between two rookies both in their first year. Suzuki went for a Sleeper but was pushed back into the corner to let go of the hold. HIMAWARI then locked in a Half Crab Hold and held it back until her opponent gave up.

The card for Hyper Misao’s own show “HYPE!” on 25th May will consist of three matches. One of them is a 6 Way audition to determine who will become Hyper Misao II. Also on the show Shoko Nakajima faces Yoshihiko in a first time ever match. There was also announcements for new shows taking place later in the year outside of Tokyo. Many of them will serve as homecoming events for different members of the roster. They include Nakajima’s show in Niigata on 5th August, Arai’s show in Kyoto on 10th September, Tatsumi’s show in Nagano on 16th September and Endo’s show in Aizuwakamatsu on 21st October.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION” Results

May 1, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 01/05/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
234 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. HIMAWARI defeated Toga with a Half Crab Hold (7:03).
2. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami when Suzume pinned Toribami with the Ring A Bell (13:11).
3. Gabai Ji-chan defeated Mahiro Kiryu with an Inside Cradle (9:11).
4. Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match: Sawyer Wreck defeated Hikari Noa with the Choke Slam onto Lighttubes (11:01).

Thanks to the existence of the “TJPW INSPIRATION” shows, Hikari Noa gets to live her dream of doing deathmatches. She did one already once before but her second go raised the level by a lot because it contained lighttubes! It is an environment that her opponent Sawyer Wreck is more used to and it showed with her throwing Noa into the lighttubes attached to the ropes. Noa’s back got cut up from being slammed but she got to smash a few lighttubes over Wreck in return. Wreck won in the end by Choke Slamming Noa onto a bundle. Noa admitted the pain turned out to be more than she imagined but she still had fun because she got to do what she loved in front of everyone she cares about. She wants to another death match and next time she wants it to involve barbed wire!

Mahiro Kiryu found herself in an awkward position because her opponent was Gabai Ji-chan. Every time she attacked her opponent she got booed by the fans because she was beating up the elderly. It didn’t help that Ji-chan stepped into the gap between the entrance ramp and wrestling ring during his entrance, needing more help to get in. Everyone also discovered that Ji-chan’s slow movements come from his walking stick. When Kiryu held onto it, her body suddenly changed to that of a senior citizen. The same happened to Daisuke Kiso which resulted in him giving the slowest count when Kiryu pinned Ji-chan. It was long enough for Ji-chan to kick out and when he caught Kiryu in an Inside Cradle, Kiso gave a fast three count. Backstage Ji-chan approached Kiryu and suggested they go fight for a championship together. She didn’t understand what he meant so she went home instead.

Daisy Monkey were victorious against Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami in a tag team match. Toribami put Suzume in the Bird Cage submission but it was countered into a Modified Neck Lock that Miyamoto had to break it up. Arisu Endo took out Miyamoto with the Waterwheel Drop and Suzume ended up pinning Toribami with the Ring A Bell.

A rookie showcase between HIMAWARI and Toga opened up the show. Toga tried to work her opponent’s leg but it was HIMAWARI who locked on a Half Crab Hold to make her submit.

The opening speech took place with Sayuri Namba joined by Shino Suzuki. The two of them ran down each of the matches then Namba tried to get Suzuki to sing for everyone because there was no Up Up Girls performance booked.

6. Costume Change Match: Mizuki, Yuki Kamifuku & Pom Harajuku defeated Suzume, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko when Mizuki pinned Kiryu with the Diving Foot Stomp (13:21).

The wrestler costumes in the main event went as follows: Mizuki was dressed as Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Kamifuku was dressed as Mahiro Kiryu, Pom Harajuku was dressed as Yuki Kamifuku, Suzume was dressed as Nao Kakuta, Mahiro Kiryu was dressed as Haruna Neko and Haruna Neko was dressed as Raku. Kamifuku apologised during the match for acting like a more authentic Kiryu than Kiryu. After the match Mizuki admitted it’s difficult to become someone else. Suzume said she would be happy if her efforts made everyone feel like they say Kakuta wrestle today. Neko said she was nervous so she watched videos of Raku in order to become her. Kiryu said she has new respect for Neko because she isn’t able to behave as a catgirl like she does.

The show began with a Cooking Match between Yuka Sakazaki and Moka Miyamoto. The two were tasked with cooking up a Okonomiyaki but first they had to compete in mini-games with the winners getting to choose their ingredients. Miyamoto won the games of jump rope and building a card castle and another card game to receive cabbage and pork belly. Sakazaki was left with chocolate and marshmellow. However Sakazaki won the third game of cards but was convinced by the audience to pick coffee flavored jelly over seafood mix. They spent the rest of the show creating their meal to be served to Daisuke Kiso before the main event. Kiso enjoyed both dishes and unexpectedly chose Sakazaki as the winner. He liked Miyamoto’s dish because as a traditional Okonomiyaki but Sakazaki’s tasted so sweet and had the bonus of her improvising with unusual ingredients that it won him over in the end.

The 5 Way Match was held under Tetsuya Koda Seat King rules. Chairs were placed in the ring each with a stipulation attached to it. HIMAWARI sat down on the chair that said “No Touch Rope” so she had to play a game against Miu Watanabe where you had to pin your opponent against the ropes for 3 seconds to win. Watanabe overpowered HIMAWARI and held her down onto the middle rope to eliminate her from the match. Next, Watanabe sat on the chair that said “Illustration” so she had a drawing contest against Hyper Misao. Everytime somebody got a 1 Count pin they got to draw something in 30 seconds and it was up to Koda to guess what it is. Whoever got Koda to guess correctly would win. Watanabe drew a “Frilled Lizard” but Koda thought it was Kamen Rider. Misao drew a Seahorse and Koda correctly guessed it, eliminating Watanabe. The third game was a “TK Quiz” between Misao and Arisu Endo. They had to answer trivia questions about Koda after every 1 Count pin. They got questions about Koda’s birthday and what he ate for breakfast wrong but Endo correctly guessed his blood type is B so Misao was now out of the game. The final game was a Cheering Contest between Endo and Rika Tatsumi. If neither wrestler could beat each other in 3 minutes then Koda will choose the winner based on who got cheered more. When it was time to decide, Koda declared that Endo was the winner! Tatsumi got angry over the result and slapped Koda across the face, which got her more cheers than during the match.

Haru Kazashiro was welcomed into Tokyo Joshi Pro’s Tokusatsu Club by Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino. Kazashiro is taking Nodoka Tenma’s spot in the group so the other members expected her to be in the same base position for their standing stacked spot. She wasn’t strong enough to do it so Nakajima & Aino decided to carry her and charge into their opponents instead. That also didn’t work.

Osaka Edion Arena #2

6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) defeated Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku when Sakazaki pinned Harajuku with an Elbow Butt (11:38).
*V1 for The Magical Sugar Rabbits.

Sadly Pom Harajuku and her runaway monster tag partner Max The Impaler were unable to win the Princess Tag Team Titles. Max used Harajuku as a projectile many times during the match, throwing her onto both Magical Sugar Rabbits at every opportunity. However they missed the Wasteland War Justice on Yuka Sakazaki, giving Mizuki the chance to Double Stomp Harajuku. Sakazaki overpowered Max with the Magical Merry-Go-Round and then got into a strike exchange with Harajuku. The fans cheered for Harajuku as she hit Elbow Strike after Elbow Strike, but Sakazaki knocked her down with one big Elbow Smash in return and that was enough to get the three count.

Max carried Harajuku away from ringside while MagiRabi celebrated their victory. Sakazaki wiped away Max’s facepaint that had smudged Mizuki’s face. She quickly cleaned it off when Mizuki asked if the facepaint represents a symbol of Max’s friendship. They both praised Harajuku for being more lively today but can’t figure out if Max is treating her like a partner or like a toy. Backstage Harajuku was so upset over losing she cried. In a rare showing of compassion, Max wiped the tears away from her face.

We all know by now that Rika Tatsumi likes to choke her opponents. Well today Suzume choked her back in an effort to prove she is a serious challenger for the International Princess Title. However Tatsumi overpowered Suzume and choked her back Neck Hanging style. Despite that setback, Suzume is still confident she can win the title from Tatsumi.

The official name for the trio of Yuki Kamifuku, Yuki Aino & Yuki Arai is now Triple YUKI! Today was their second time all teaming together and they believe their combined power is infinite. After they won their match, Kamifuku gave Aino & Arai gummy bears as a reward. The other team’s vibes were not as nice though. Maki Itoh blamed Shino Suzuki for losing. Her criticisms were to motiviate Suzuki into doing better next time but Itoh then told Hikari Noa that she won’t be teaming with Suzuki again.

HIMAWARI was wrestling in a 3 Way Match for the first time so she had a lot to prove to the self-proclaimed “God Of 3 Ways” Hyper Misao. HIMAWARI was told she has to qualities to succeed in 3 Way Matches so Misao proposed they work together against Raku. They went on to fight Raku 2-on-1 but Raku got out of there with the win anyway. She capitalised on the alliance falling apart and then pinned HIMAWARI before Misao could break it up.
