Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
??? Fans

1. Ganpro Vs FREEDOMS All Out Battle!: Tomoya Hirata defeated Washi Sakurai with the German Suplex (9:14).
2. 6 Men And Women Summer Story! Special Mixed 3 Way Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata & Moeka Haruhi defeated Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase and Shota & HARUKAZE when Haruhi pinned Shota with a Cradle (10:54).

4. Teacher & Student Tag Vs Aikata Tag: Ikuto Hidaka & Minoru Fujita defeated Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki when Hidaka pinned Ishii with the Iwami Ginzan (14:30).
5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Asuka defeated Hagane Shinno (c) with the Modified Capture Buster (16:17).
*Hagane Shinno fails in V1. Asuka becomes the 31st Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion!

She did it! Asuka achieved her goal of becoming the youngest person to ever win the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title. She showed confidence at the beginning, sitting on the top turnbuckle so she was looking down on Hagane Shinno. The positions were reversed during the match when Shinno sat on the turnbuckle the same way before hitting a Diving Cross Body. Asuka had counters for Shinno’s late offence with a Kneel Kick and German Suplexes. Shinno kicked out of the Moonsault so it took Asuka pulling out the Capture Buster to beat him.

Asuka’s title win means the belt will not be sealed. She didn’t think she would beat Shinno today so she didn’t have a victory speech planned. She thanked Shinno and said he has a cool personality. So much happened to Asuka during the first half of the year. Her best friend died and she couldn’t travel to wrestle overseas. She was left wondering if she should end her pro wrestling career. Shinichiro Tominaga interrupted her speech, singing “Harmony At The End Of Summer” as he entered the ring. He congratulated Asuka then challenged her for the title. The title has its first ever female champion. Next it should get its first ever “Amateur” champion! Asuka wasn’t convinced so Tominaga brought up his victory over a former 2 time champion Ken Ohka earlier in the show. Asuka accepted and the two approached for a handshake. Tominaga instead Dropkicked Asuka in the knee and hit her with the JK. Tominaga shouted he will be standing in Korakuen Hall as an independent champion! He will be the first “Amateur” pro wrestling champ!

Ikuto Hidaka provoked Kouki Iwasaki to get into a fight after the semi-main event. Hidaka pinned Keisuke Ishii while Hidaka was taken out by Minoru Fujita. Afterwards Hidaka walked over to Iwasaki and celebrated in his face for added insult, causing the fight. Iwasaki told Hidaka if he enjoys being in this ring so much they should wrestle one on one. He then got a Big Boot in before they were separated again. Hidaka accepted the challenge and the match was booked for 12th September.

Part of the reason Tominaga beat Ohka was because he ambushed him during the entrances. Tominaga hit an Enzuigiri and a Moonsault for a nearfall. Ohka recovered and fought back with the Kamikaze Roll and the Fire Spear. However Tominaga would stop him with the JK to the back of the head. He hit another JK from the front and it was enough to win. Ohka did move his shoulder during the pin but it did not raise high enough to break the 3 count.

Shuichiro Katsumura had to pull out of the show with an ankle injury. Shunma Katsumata replaced him in the 3 Way Tag Match, teaming with Moeka Haruhi to form Fake HALFEE. Katsumata said afterwards he would like to appear in Ganbare☆Wrestling again as a hitman. When they won the match, Haruhi told Yumehito Imanari that she wants to win the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles. She was going to challenge Imanari, Ohka & Miss Mongol at Korakuen but Imanari already has a match booked on that show. Imanari offered THE HALFEE a title shot on 12th September instead. Haruhi is happy with that idea. It means if THE HALFEE win the titles then they can defend them at Korakuen!

Washi Sakurai and Tomoya Hirata went hell for leather in the opener. They collided into each other with Shoulder Blocks and Knee Lifts. Sakurai tried using a Cobra Twist to control the tempt after Hirata gave him an Oklahoma Stampede. Hirata took him down with a Spear and pinned him with the German Suplex.

At the start of the show it was announced that Ganpro will return to Korakuen Hall on 6th October. This will be Ganpro’s third show in the building. Matches announced so far include Yumehito Imanari & Shinjiro Otani Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie, Yuna Manase Vs Takumi Iroha and Kouki Iwasaki Vs Kota Umeda.

He joined Sanshiro Takagi, Shinya Aoki and Caol Uno in Chiba for an outdoor demonstration of a Blast Rocket that will be used on the show. The Rocket was created by Atsushi Onita for a death match he did in 2016 but it was so dangerous he never used it since. Until now! The rocket was fired at a watermelon with Kurochan’s picture on it and created a large explosion. The watermelon was not destroyed but a large hole was left in it from the blast. The wrestlers all think it’s amazing but Kurochan is terrified. Even more so when Onita suggested that Kurochan be placed inside a cage at ringside so he won’t run away.

An Chamu is a gravure idol from Shinshu Girls Pro Wrestling. She has two years experience and was trained by Emi Sakura.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP” Results

August 15, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 15/08/2020
Tokyo Kanda Myojin Hall
??? Fans

1. Rika Tatsumi, Nodoka Tenma & Haruna Neko defeated Mirai Maiumi, Suzume & Sena Shiori when Tatsumi pinned Shiori with the Twist Of Fate (10:34).
2. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Hikari Noa & Pom Harajuku when Kiryu pinned Harajuku with the Spinebuster (6:56).
3. Yuka Sakazaki & Raku defeated Mina Shirakawa & Himawari Unagi when Sakazaki submitted Unagi with an Omoplata (10:31).
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Mizuki defeated Yuki Aino with the Cutie Special (11:27).
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Maki Itoh defeated Miu Watanabe with the Flying Big Head (11:36).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Shoko Nakajima defeated Natsumi Maki with the Diving Senton (10:49).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Miyu Yamashita defeated Hyper Misao with the Crash Rabbit Heat (12:38).

An unnamed member of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster who was not at today’s show tested positive in a PCR exam for COVID-19. She is currently being treated and has no worrying symptoms to report at this time. For the entire roster’s safety, tomorrow’s show in Kanda Myojin Hall and the Itabashi Green Hall show on the 22nd have been cancelled. The person had not been in close contact with DDT wrestlers so today’s DDT show went ahead as scheduled as will tomorrow’s BOYZ show. However, Daisuke Kiso will not work those events because he was on the TJPW show.

Hyper Misao was so thankful for the fan support she got from beating Yuka Sakazaki last week. To prove how important the Tokyo Princess Cup is for her, she gathered together her most important weapons and emptied them in the ring to show Miyu Yamashita they will have a fair fight. Yamashita saw through her plan and blocked the attempted Cold Spray attack. However, Misao had a second can and froze her opponent for a nearfall. Misao used the spray again outside the ring and rolled Yamashita up in the ring apron. Yamashita avoided the countout and tackled Misao while still wrapped up in the apron. Misao used an exposed turnbuckle for another advantage but Yamashita kicked her away. She blocked the Vanitas, hit the Attitude Adjustment and won with the Crash Rabbit Heat. Could this finally be Yamashita’s year to win the tournament?

Meeting Yamashita in the semi-final will be Shoko Nakajima. Her win over Natsumi Maki means Maki will have to wait even longer for her next rematch with Yamashita. Nakajima did the Northern Lights Suplex but couldn’t hold on the bridge for the pin. She corrected that by doing a Double Arm DDT and then the Diving Senton for the victory.

Over on the other side of the bracket, Maki Itoh reached her career best in the tournament, advancing to the semi final over Miu Watanabe. Itoh blocked the Laserbeam strike with a Headbutt then hit the Flying Big Head. Rather than go for the pin, Itoh hit a second Flying Big Head to ensure Watanabe would not kick out.

Waiting for Itoh in the semi final is last year’s winner Mizuki. That means the former Itoh Respect Army explodes! Mizuki used an Avalanche Cutie Special on Yuki Aino but was too damaged to pin her straight away. Aino recovered and hit the Venus DDT. She went for the UBV but Mizuki countered it with a Casadora and a Double Stomp. She hit the standard Cutie Special to put Aino away.

The Tokyo Princess Cup semi final matches are Mizuki Vs Maki Itoh and Shoko Nakajima Vs Miyu Yamashita. They were supposed to take place tomorrow but they will have to be rescheduled over the sudden cancellation. Should everything be okay after testing then the next show on the calendar is the final itself on 29th August. They can easily do the semi finals and final on the same show if they have to.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “HEAVEN’S DOOR 2020”, 22/08/2020
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. Ganpro Vs FREEDOMS All Out Battle!: Washi Sakurai Vs Tomoya Hirata
2. First Single! Toyama’s Strongest Decisive Match!: Ken Ohka Vs Shinichiro Tominaga
3. 6 Men And Women Summer Story! Special Mixed 3 Way Tag Match: Shuichiro Katsumura & Moeka Haruhi Vs Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase Vs Shota & HARUKAZE
4. Teacher & Student Tag Vs Aikata Tag: Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Ikuto Hidaka & Minoru Fujita
5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Hagane Shinno (c) Vs Asuka

These might be the final Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title defence if Hagane Shinno gets his way. The new champion is in the twilight of his wrestling career and believes the title no longer serves its use. His peak was beating Kota Ibushi for the belt which means it should only be defended against a wrestler on the same level. Asuka is getting the title match because it was already promised to her when Keisuke Ishii was the champion. If Asuka can beat Shinno and achieve her goal of becoming the youngest ever Indy Jr. Champion, then Shinno will be convinced she can become as big of a superstar as Ibushi.

Yuna Manase is now a full time member of Ganbare☆Wrestling! Two weeks ago she received an invite from Yumehito Imanari to wrestle for them on a regular basis. She couldn’t give an answer then because she had not finished her commitment to Tokyo Joshi Pro. But when she appeared at last Sunday’s show she announced she wants to do more with the group and be part of the Ganpro family.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “KILLER QUEEN 2020” Results

July 26, 2020

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “KILLER QUEEN 2020”, 26/07/2020
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
101 Fans

1. Competitive Showdown! SWS Gakusei Wrestling 24th Vs 28th Total Battle: Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Shin Suzuki with a Cobra Clutch (9:42).
2. Summer Cosplay Match Return: Cherry defeated HARUKAZE with the Welcome To Hell (9:44).
3. Ganpro Specialty Special Mixed Tag Match: Shota & Yuna Manase defeated Moeka Haruhi & Washi Sakurai when Shota pinned Sakurai with a Jackknife Pin (10:37).
4. 25 Years Of Confrontation? Special Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Yasu Urano & Tetsuo Usui when Ohka pinned Usui with the Fire Spear (19:03).
5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Hagane Shinno defeated Keisuke Ishii (c) with the Ranhei (16:37).
*Keisuke Ishii fails in V8. Hagane Shinno becomes the 30th Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion!

The dominant title reign of Keisuke Ishii is over! Hagane Shinno is the new Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion and we may be approaching the the end of the championship! Early in the match Shinno almost got counted out after he struck the ring post. There were some high impact moves on the ring apron like a Diving Body Press from Shinno and the Double Arm Extreme Driver from Ishii. Back in the ring, Shinno avoided the Double Arm Extreme Driver and pinned Ishii with the Ranhei to win the title. Backstage Shinno said he is thinking about sealing the championship. It is a past glory that he finally regained and his wrestling career doesn’t have long left to go so there is no need for the title to continue. However Asuka was promised a title shot against today’s winner on 22nd August so he will give her that match. Shinno said when he beats her, the title will be sealed away until a superstar on the same caliber of Kota Ibushi challenges him. If Asuka does beat him then he thinks she can become a superstar like Ibushi.

After the match Shinno and Madoka bumped fists and both left. Ken Ohka and Yumehito Imanari got into the ring in a panic. They don’t want the Indy World Jr. Title to leave Ganpro! Asuka is supposed to get a title shot on 22nd August but what is Shinno seals the championship before then? That’s the title Imanari has been aiming to win so what will he do now if it gets retired? Ohka offered some advice to calm Imanari down. Life and pro wrestling is a marathon without goals. Even when you win a championship you keep running. Imanari was eliminated from the ZERO1 Tenkaichi tournament yesterday but it is not the end of his wrestling life. He lost yesterday but next time he can win. Imanari promised to do his best and together they shouted “Three, Two, Zero One!” The show ended with “LONESOME RYDER” playing before switching into “BAD COMMUNICATION”.

 

Imanari showed up in the middle of the Mixed Tag Match wearing a referee shirt. He wanted to be the special guest referee like Shawn Michaels was at the FMW 10th Anniversary show. When Daisuke Kiso refused, Imanari knocked him out and took his place as White Shoes Imanari. He counted too slow so Moeka Haruhi threw him away. Imanari swung around Yuna Manase and gave Haruhi a Lariat on the rebound. Manase did her own Lariat to Washi Sakurai and Shota rolled him over for the three count.

Imanari explained he didn’t have a match scheduled in today just in case he advanced in the Tenkaichi so he wanted to officiate a match instead. Ohka then entered the ring and asked Manase if she decided to wrestle for Ganpro on a more regular basis? Manase said she wants to do her best as a pro wrestler. She isn’t going to just make regular appearances, she wants to join the Ganbare☆Wrestling family and wrestle for them all the time! Ohka accepted and welcomed Manase to Ganpro! Everyone celebrated by shouting “Three, Two, Zero One!” while “LONESOME RYDER” played.

In the Summer Cosplay match HARUKAZE wore a bug catcher costume while Cherry wrestled in a yukata. HARUKAZE used her bug catching net as a weapon and also tried to strip Cherry’s Yukata off. She got herself tangled in it. Cherry wore her wrestling gear underneath so she had no fear of being exposed. She applied her Welcome To Hell submission version of the Spring Night Love to get the win.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2020 SUMMER ~TJPW IS 『 』~” Results

July 25, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2020 SUMMER ~TJPW IS 『　　　』~”, 25/07/2020
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
110 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Shoko Nakajima defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Northern Lights Suplex (6:16).
2. Miyu Yamashita & Nodoka Tenma defeated Mahiro Kiryu & Himawari Unagi when Yamashita submitted Kiryu with the Modified Cobra Clutch (7:24).
3. Quiz Shiorinaire: Hyper Misao defeated Sena Shiori with the USI (10:58).
4. Mina Shirakawa & Mirai Maiumi defeated Maki Itoh & Pom Harajuku when Shirakawa pinned Harajuku with the Implant DDT (11:29).
5. Yuki Aino & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Rika Tatsumi & Haruna Neko when Aino pinned Neko with the Venus DDT (13:11).
6. Miu Watanabe, Hikari Noa & Raku defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Suzume when Noa pinned Suzume with the Uranage (13:43).

The day has finally come. The Up Up Girls closed out a Tokyo Joshi Pro show as the main event winners! The win was over a team that had The Magical Sugar Rabbits in it too. Hikari Noa said today’s win gives her, Miu Watanabe and Raku confidence going into the Tokyo Princess Cup. They will go crazy in the tournament this year!

Mina Shirakawa & Mirai Maiumi named their team Minato Mirai.

A special 2 Count Handicap was put on the Sena Shiori Vs Hyper Misao match. Shiori only needed to pin Misao for a 2 Count to win. If Misao got at least a 2 Count then she had to correctly answer a quiz question to win. Misao was also allowed a lifeline if she got a 3 Count. The questions asked by Tetsuya Koda were all about Shiori. Misao quickly pinned Shiori with a Cradle from a Handshake. “What move was used to end Shiori’s debut match?” Misao answered Dropkick but was wrong. Misao got a 2 Count from a School Boy. “What is Shiori’s date of birth?” Misao answered 14th September, 2002 but was wrong. Misao did another School Boy and this time got a 3 Count. “Where did Shiori go with her friend Hikari Noa to celebrate her birthday?” Misao was allowed a lifeline so she used Noa as her Phone A Friend. Noa hinted it was a theme park in Osaka. Misao answered Universal Studios Japan but was wrong. She yelled at Noa for giving her a bad hint. Misao went back and got a 2 Count pin. “What martial art did Shiori learn in elementary school?” Misao said Kyodo but was wrong once again. Shiori gained control of the match until Misao knocked over the referee. Shiori had Misao pinned but no ref was around to count it. Misao regained control and got a 2 Count with the Hyper Gotham Crash. “Where did Shiori go with her friend Hikari Noa to celebrate her debut match?” Misao thought about it and answered Universal Studios Japan again. She was correct which means she wins the match!

Himawari Unagi got to wrestle Miyu Yamashita for the first time since their match last October where Unagi got injured.

The ring announcer Sayuri Namba received some great news at the start of the show. She entered a competition to become a RIZIN round girl but was eliminated early on. Well today she found out she won a poll out of the eliminated contestants to re-enter the contest! She hopes to become a round girl and get RIZIN to promote Tokyo Joshi Pro in the process.

Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

2. 25 Years Of Confrontation? Special Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Yasu Urano & Tetsuo Usui
3. Competitive Showdown! SWS Gakusei Wrestling 24th Vs 28th Total Battle: Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Shin Suzuki

5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Hagane Shinno

Two Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title matches have been made for the rest of the summer. First up Keisuke Ishii defends against Hagane Shinno, a former champion who pinned him in yesterday’s main event. Shinno’s history with the title was brief but important. As Madoka, he fought Kota Ibushi for the title when it was revived back in 2007. He lost to Ibushi then but won the title from him a year later. Sadly, Madoka was beaten by Makoto Oishi in his first defence and he never won it back. He’s had two attempts since then. This will be his third.

Yuna Manase was offered to regularly wrestle in Ganbare☆Wrestling. She isn’t able to decide yet because she is still working for Tokyo Joshi Pro for another two weeks. But she at least wants to make another appearance. We may find out her future by the time this show takes place.

The 24th and 28th SWS Triple Crown Champions collide when Shinchiro Tominaga faces Shin Suzuki in a battle of Student Wrestling prodigies.

July 12, 2020

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “CRAZY DIAMOND 2020”, 12/07/2020
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
110 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Washi Sakurai Trial Single Match: Chikara defeated Washi Sakurai with the Saber Chop (8:21).
2. Ganjo-gun Vs PocchaJo-gun Total Battle: Yumehito Imanari, Miss Mongol & Yuna Manase defeated Shunma Katsumata, Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE when Manase pinned HARUKAZE with the Suzuki Dynamic (11:53).
3. Special Single Match: Asuka defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with the ASKA FANTASY (10:09).
4. Ganpro Vs RENEGADES: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase defeated Shota & Kouki Iwasaki when Irie pinned Shota with a Rotating Cradle (12:52).
5. Special Tag Match Full Of Indie Jr. Champions: Shiori Asahi & Hagane Shinno defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shuichiro Katsumura when Shinno pinned Ishii with the Reverse Rankei (16:17).

Keisuke Ishii now has two challengers for the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title. Halfway through the show, Asuka challenged Ishii to a title match because she wants to become the youngest champion in the title’s history. Ishii asked for the match to take place on 26th July but Asuka’s busy schedule pushed it back to the agreed date of 22nd August. Then in the main event Hagane Shinno pinned Ishii and asked for a title shot on the 26th July show that Asuka turned down. Ishii accepted that challenge too so he can achieve his 8th and 9th title defences when all is said and done. Asuka told them to do what they want, she will challenge the winner of Ishii Vs Hagane.

Yumehito Imanari invited Yuna Manase to compete in Ganbare☆Wrestling on a regular basis, believing this is the perfect place for her last run. Manase told him she is still with Tokyo Joshi Pro until 23rd July so she cannot agree to regular participation in Ganpro just yet. But she would like to be on the next Ganpro show on the 26th.

Ken Ohka was pulled from the show due to a fever. Shunma Katsumata took his place in Match #2.

DDT “SUMMER ITABASHI SERIES”, 12/07/2020

– Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yoshihiko defeated Makoto Oishi (c) with a Sleeper Hold (4:10 pm).
*Yoshihiko becomes the 1,485th champion.
4. 3 Way Match: Chris Brookes defeated Akito and Mad Paulie when Brookes pinned Paulie (9:06).
5. The Evil Yankee Wrestler Seigo Tachibana’s Road To The Top: Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Seigo Tachibana with the God’s Right Knee (5:45).
6. Konosuke Takeshita defeated Yukio Naya with the Caballo 2020 (14:33).
7. DAMNATION Vs DISASTER BOX!: Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Soma Takao defeated HARASHIMA, Yuki Ueno & Kazuki Hirata when Soma pinned Hirata with the Gin And Tonic (17:50).

DAMNATION’s victory of DISASTER BOX today was followed by a message from Tetsuya Endo to Yuki Ueno. There is still a difference between them and Endo will show Ueno how much at Korakuen Hall. Ueno doesn’t know what the difference is but what he does know is Endo was knocked out on the floor during the finish of today’s match! Ueno gave him the WR which is what took Endo out of the match in the first place. According to Ueno, the strongest wrestler today wasn’t Endo, it was Soma Takao! Ueno respects Endo but today the gap between them has shrunk. This discovery made Endo dizzy and he fell out of the ring in a panic.

The match between Konosuke Takeshita and Yukio Naya had the shadow of Jun Akiyama looming over it. Naya was part of Akiyama-gun’s training session during the week. He got to show a little of what he learned but Takeshita came out on top with the Caballo 2020 submission hold. Both Takeshita and Naya described this match as preparation for the KING OF DDT.

Seigo Tachibana needed to learn a lesson. Yukio Sakaguchi was here to teach it. Sakaguchi purposely entered the ring wearing a suit to remind Tachibana who he is. Danshoku Dieno was in Tachibana’s corner for the match but wanted it to be called off to spare his student from getting a beating. Tachibana bravely opposed Sakaguchi and repeatedly stomped on his hand to get an advantage. Sakaguchi got revenge by stomping on Tachibana’s right little finger. He applied the Sleeper Hold but let go when Tachibana found the strength to stand back up. Sakaguchi quickly put him down again with the God’s Right Knee to win. After the match Sakaguchi said he doesn’t know where Tachibana came from but he likes his guts. Next time they see each other Tachibana should say hello or else Sakaguchi will kill him. When he left, Dieno asked what should Tachibana do next? There is the next Korakuen show coming up and also the Beer Garden series. What does Tachibana want to do? Tachibana said he wants to wrestle for DDT!”

In the 3 Way Match, Akito knocked out Mad Paulie with a Gutwrench Suplex. He then trapped Chris Brookes in a Grapevine Ankle Lock but Brookes crawled on top of Paulie and pinned him while fainting from the pain.

Before the 3 Way Tag match began, Dieno told everyone in the match that he was a demon today. He was so determined to defend the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title it was making him a completely different person. How was he different? He wasn’t wearing underwear beneath his wrestling gear. Everyone understood the risk Dieno was putting them in and did everything they could to prevent him from pulling his tights down during the match. But in a twist, Makoto Oishi showed Dieno that he wasn’t wearing underwear either! This distraction caused Dieno to get pinned by Oishi and the title changed hands.

Looks like the Iron Man Title is heading to America! When Oishi was celebrating with the title when suddenly Yoshihiko appeared for the first time since “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2020”! It beat Oishi with a Sleeper Hold to become the new champion! Yoshihiko brought out a sign for its backstage interview that said “Now I will go to America as DDT Iron Man Champ! Joey Janela: You may be a Bad Boy… But Yoshihiko is a Bad, Bad Man.” Yoshihiko would not answer any questions like how can it travel to America when there is no way to obtain a visa to enter the country right now?

Kazusada Higuchi held Keigo Nakamura in the Oklahoma Stampede mid-move when Antonio Honda paused the match to tell a Gongitsune story. Saki Akai then redirected Honda’s strike into Nakamura’s eyes so Higuchi could finish his move.

Naomi Yoshimura had a brief moment of dread when Hideki Okatani surprised him with a Small Package. It was only a minor setback and Yoshimura went on to win easily.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2020 SUMMER ~TJPW IS 『 』~” Results

July 12, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2020 SUMMER ~TJPW IS 『　　　』~”, 12/07/2020
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
108 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Natsumi Maki defeated Sena Shiori with the Backlash (6:42).
2. 3 Way Match: Maki Itoh defeated Haruna Neko and Suzume when Itoh submitted Neko with the Itoh Deluxe (8:34).
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa defeated Miyu Yamashita & Pom Harajuku when Kamifuku pinned Harajuku with the Fame Asser (10:33).
4. Yuna Manase & Hikari Noa defeated Miu Watanabe & Raku when Manase pinned Raku with the Suzuki Dynamic (10:12).
5. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu when Misao pinned Kiryu with La Magistral Cradle (12:15).
6. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Yuki Aino & Mirai Maiumi when Sakazaki pinned Maiumi with the Magical Girl Splash (14:12).

The main event had Yuka Sakazaki and Yuki Aino squaring off in preparation for Korakuen Hall later this month. Their attention to each other split off to the other wrestlers in the match. Aino gave Mizuki her new UBV finisher then left it to Mirai Maiumi to take care of Sakazaki. That was a fatal mistake because Sakazaki gave Mirai the Magical Merry-Go-Round then pinned her with the Magical Girl Splash. Mizuki admitted to Sakazaki after the match that Aino is dangerous. The Magical Sugar Rabbits have to be even more alert against her.

If Shoko Nakajima is teaming with Hyper Misao then she may as well learn to cheat like her too. During their match they brought Rika Tatsumi over to her cornergirl Miu Watanabe at ringside and taped the two together back to back. Tatsumi had to get back inside the ring with Watanabe taped to her but they were able to cooperate and even use themselves as a weapon. When Daisuke Kiso tried to free Daydream from the tape, Nakajima & Misao used the numbers advantage against Mahiro Kiryu. Misao purposely loosened her mask so Kiryu would pull it off by accident, Nakajima hit Kiryu with the 619 after the distraction and Misao got the pin with La Magistral Cradle.

Yuna Manase thanked the Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) for wrestling with her one last time before she ends her regular Tokyo Joshi Pro participation. She got permission from them to give an idol style introduction for the audience and also perform “Upper Kick” with the group. She said her Up Up Girls name would have been Mamamama Manase.

Trouble is brewing with Pink Ready. At the start of the show it was announced Yuki Kamifuku and Mina Shirakawa will have a singles match against each other on 23rd July. They were on opposite sides in a tag match today and Kamifuku won out. Shirakawa told Kamifuku she is determined to win at Korakuen. Kamifuku said she is sorry to see her friend act this way but she won’t lose to her.

Maki Itoh tried to literally sit out of the 3 Way Match by resting on the top turnbuckle. She’s a big star so she would only fight the winner between Haruna Neko and Suzume. Those two got fed up with Itoh’s behaviour and attacked her instead. Itoh blocked Suzume’s Diving Cross Body with a Headbutt then countered Neko’s Codebreaker into the Itoh Deluxe to win.

Nodoka Tenma had to miss the show due to a case of strep throat.
