TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FAN CLUB BOX OFFICE – PURE TOKYO JOSHI PRO WRESTLING 7” Results

October 24, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FAN CLUB BOX OFFICE – PURE TOKYO JOSHI PRO WRESTLING 7”, 24/10/2022
Tokyo Kitazawa Town Hall
162 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Cooking Match ~Children’s Lunch Showdown~: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Miu Watanabe by Daisuke Kiso’s Decision.
2. Werewolf 4 Way Match: Kaya Toribami (Werewolf) defeated Shoko Nakajima (Citizen), Maki Itoh (Citizen) and Yuki Aino (Citizen) when Toribami was not eliminated (11:55).
2a. Shoko Nakajima and Kaya Toribami eliminated Yuki Aino after a 619 from Nakajima (5:05).
2b. Maki Itoh eliminated Shoko Nakajima with a Reverse Cradle (11:55).
3. Miyu Yamashita defeated Haruna Neko with the Attitude Adjustment (1:40).
4. Dog Lovers Vs Cat Lovers Complete Settlement Battle: Yuki Kamifuku, Hikari Noa & Arisu Endo (1) Vs Hyper Misao, Nao Kakuta & Mahiro Kiryu (1) ended in a Draw.
4a. Vanguard Game ~ “One” Count Fall Rule: Hikari Noa defeated Mahiro Kiryu with an Oklahoma Roll (1:54).
*Dog Lovers 1-0 Cat Lovers.
4b. Mid-Level Battle ~ “Nyan” Count Fall Rule: Hyper Misao defeated Arisu Endo with a Gedo Clutch (1:50).
*Dog Lovers 1-1 Cat Lovers.
4c. General Match ~ Complete Conclusion 3 Count Fall Rule: Yuki Kamifuku Vs Nao Kakuta ended in a No Contest when Haruna Neko interfered (4:30).
*Dog Lovers 1-1 Cat Lovers.
5. Costume Change 6-Woman Tag Match: Rika Tatsumi, Suzume & Moka Miyamoto defeated Mizuki, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Tatsumi pinned Harajuku with the Twist Of Fate (10:38).

Everyone in the main event all wore different costumes from other members of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster. Rika Tatsumi wore Yuka Sakazaki’s costume, Suzume wore Miu Watanabe’s costume, Moka Miyamoto wore Raku’s costume, Mizuki wore Maki Itoh’s costume, Raku wore Tatsumi’s costume and Pom Harajuku wore a Nodoka-oneesan costume. Mizuki was joined by Itoh and together sang “Setsunairo” for her entrance. Along with the change in costumes there were change in behaviours too. Everyone tried wrestling as the women they were dressed as.

A team of Dog Lovers took on a team of Cat Lovers in a series of singles matches. Yuki Kamifuku, Hikari Noa & Arisu Endo all had dog ears, face paint and pictures of their pet dogs hanging over their necks. Hyper Misao, Nao Kakuta & Mahiro Kiryu were the same but with cats. Noa beat Kiryu in the first match after taking the photo of Kiryu’s cat as a distraction. Then in the second match Misao pinned Endo to even the score. The third and deciding match between Kamifuku and Kakuta got interrupted when Haruna Neko was brought into the ring as a hostage for the Dog Lovers. The Cat Lovers all said they didn’t care about her which caused Neko to attack all of them in anger. Daisuke Kiso tried to calm Neko down but then she started attacking him causing the match to get called off.

Neko had a match scheduled against Miyu Yamashita but Yamashita was running late. She had wrestled in Spain earlier in the week but only just arrived home in Japan today. Sayuri Namba had to sing “Makenaide” by ZARD to pass the time until Yamashita finally arrived in the venue. She wore her wrestling gear underneath her clothes and had to undress in the ring before the match began.

A game of Werewolf took place in the 4 Way match. Each wrestler took a card, three had Citizen written on it and one said Werewolf. The Werewolf had to keep their role secret and would win if two Citizens were eliminated. If the Werewolf was beaten before that then all three Citizens would win. It led to the women acting sus over who was the Werewolf among us. Shoko Nakajima thought the Werewolf was Yuki Aino because this was her first time wrestling on a TJPW Fan Club show (she was always weirdly absent from the previous shows and replaced by mysterious masked wrestlers). When Nakajima pinned her for the elimination it was revealed she was a Citizen. Itoh then pinned Nakajima for the elimination only to find out Nakajima was a Citizen too. That meant Kaya Toribami was the Werewolf and lasted long enough to be declared the winner!

Sakazaki and Watanabe were put in a cooking contest against each other. But first they took part in a few mini games to determine what ingredients they get to use. The winner of each game got a better ingredient. Sakazaki won a hair-braiding race but Watanabe won a jump rope game and also a drawing contest (Sakazaki was asked to draw St. Francis Xavier while Watanabe drew Oda Nobunaga). They spent the rest of the show preparing the meal and Daisuke Kiso judged them before the main event. Kiso picked Sakazaki’s food as the winner, pretty much because the meat used was already a commercial product he likes.

1. K-I (Kai) GP 2022 – Round 3: Kazusada Higuchi defeated “Yuki Ueno” with the Skewered Buddha Statue Attack (15:41).

The final day of the Hiragana Muscle tripleheader featured two performances of the show. The invisible man substituting for Yuki Ueno was killed in action on the afternoon show when Kazusada Higuchi slammed him onto the Buddha Statue, impaling him through it. That match only in the 3rd Round of the K-I Grand Prix so the show ended with narration explaining that Higuchi then lost to Yasu Urano in the Quarter Final.

Muscle Sakai you motherfucker! All these matches “happened” on every performance but it’s only the final show that has the results recorded. I feel sorry for CageMatch if they’re trying to figure out whether or not these count towards each wrestler’s match history.

Ueno’s illness turned out to be gastroenteritis and he recovered enough to take part in the evening’s final performance. He and Konosuke Takeshita met in the Grand Prix final and were about to start their battle when the lights went out and “To Be Continued” appeared on the screen behind them.

The next set of Hiragana Muscle shows will be held on 7th September in Korakuen Hall and 8th & 9th September in Kitazawa Town Hall.

Yuki Ueno is still out sick so Naomi Yoshimura and MAO had to wrestle invisible men for their matches in the final act. The shows were also timed out better this time around so the tournament could actually make it to the final and be completed this time.

187 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. K-I (Kai) GP 2022 Semi-Final: “Yuki Ueno” defeated Shunma Katsumata after a Self-Destruct Chair Attack (16:58).

Today’s Hiragana Muscle show had to figure out what do you do when the star of the show pulls out sick? Yuki Ueno had to miss today’s show because of a fever and he was supposed to be the main character. Muscle Sakai and Amon Tsurumi apologized for his absence and explained it was too late to rewrite the script. They announced the role of “Yuki Ueno” was now going to be played by an invisible man. With that out of the way it was time for the show to begin.

Yuki Rock and Minamikawa introduced everyone to the K-I (Kai) Grand Prix. They wanted to celebrate the 18th Anniversary of MUSCLE (aka Katakana Muscle), the 2nd Anniversary of Hiragana Muscle and also the milestone anniversaries for New Japan and All Japan. They decided a 48 man one day tournament was the best way to mark the occasions. They introduced the bracket and used the Multiverse theory as their excuse to explain why DDT wrestlers were in the same tournament as their Muscle characters.

Now everyone had to figure out how to do a 47 match tournament in 100 minutes. Sakai’s solution was to do a highlights digest of Round 1. Then in Round 2 the ring would be divided into four sections for the A Block matches to all take place at the same time while the B Block matches would be held at a different venue to be broadcast on the screen. Round 1 began and all of the wrestlers tried to do a live action montage of the match highlights. Afterwards Rock & Minamikawa went to the Steel Chair Castle. There they told The Steel Chair Boys about the Kohki project that mixes traditional craft with professional wrestling. With Kohki they can use weapons not to cause fouls but to promote products! They were presented with three such items. The first is a steel chair painted with lacquer and containing a cushion made of brocade that results in a Super Hit when used as a weapon. The second is a Buddha Statue that will reduce the fighting spirit of whoever holds it. The third is a gong and mallet that hurts everyone who hears it during an out of the ring brawl. Rock & Minamikawa told The Steel Chair Boys they can all become rich together if they use these weapons in the tournament final!

Back at the Grand Prix, Round 2 began. The ring was roped off into four quarters with each of the A Block matches taking place in each section. The split didn’t last though and the eight wrestlers in the ring ended up getting in each other’s way. There was concern that the different universes interacting with each other would have reality changing side effects but the tournament continued. When those matches were over, the B Block was shown on screen. Each match allegedly took place at either an underground arena beneath the Tokyo Dome, outside Sumo Hall, inside the New Beijing Ochanomizu Dojo or on a street near the DDT dojo. The C Block was next and time was running out so every match was held under 2 Count Rules with a 100 second time limit. Finally the D Block took place with One Count Falls and 50 second time limits. One match ended in a draw and was supposed to restart with no time limit but Tsurumi called it off and chose the winner so the show could move on.

It was time for Round 3 but there was a problem behind the scenes. Tsurumi was angry at Sakai because he script had so much happening in the show already. Rock & Minamikawa offered to help out until everyone discovered that the rest of the script hasn’t been written yet. A halftime show then began with a musical performance by The Steel Chair Boys. Suddenly Human Chair Imanari started going insane from holding the lacquer chair. Luckily Tetsuya Endo made his mandatory run in and saved the day. The Finisher Boys then performed their songs and announced they are suspending activities on 31st March because Totaro Omoiki (Konosuke Takeshita) will be going abroad.

There was only time left in the show for the main event so the last match of the K-I Grand Prix was the semi-final between Shunma Katsumata and an invisible Yuki Ueno. It was a hard fought back and forth battle between the two friends. “Ueno” hit Katsumata with the BME for a nearfall and then followed up with the WR. On the count of 2 everything slowed down and “Etupirka” began playing. Katsumata gave a monologue from the heart, saying he and Ueno can make The 37KAMIINA the best unit together but he will not give up. He kicked out of the WR and fought back. Katsumata hit the Sauna Trance Splash but the match slowed down and “Etupirka” played again. This time Yuki Rock gave a monologue but it was just to advertise his Kohki products. He handed Katsumata the chair and Katsumata went crazy attacking “Ueno” with it. A bunch of run ins happened and Katsumata ended up bouncing the chair into his own face, knocking him backwards into Roll Up so “Ueno” could pin him for the victory.

Katsumata got on the microphone and told “Ueno” he is still strong. He is going to miss Takeshita while he is in America but still has the rest of The 37KAMIINA to keep him company. He wants all five members to make DDT and Muscle more exciting. Yuki Rock placed the chair in the middle of the ring for “Ueno” to sit on while Sakai gave the show closing speech. Sakai said he was worried when Ueno sent him the picture of his 39 degree temperature but he though the match “Ueno” had today was great. Everyone is coming off of a Sumo Hall show last week and a Korakuen Hall show yesterday which makes Sakai wonder how they are able to do this. Katsumata shouted out “Because I’m a professional wrestler!” Sakai perked up and made him shout it again. He then told “Ueno” to grab his big chance and accept his upcoming challenges head on fair and square. Sakai then ended the show asking everyone to give him all of their support so Ueno can rest easy for the next few days.

MUSCLE “HIRAGANA MUSCLE 6 -SHIMOKITA ONE PLUS ONE-”, 29/03/2021
Tokyo Kitazawa Town Hall

The next Hiragana Muscle event is a series of five shows taking place across three days starting on 29th March. These shows are celebrating the 18th Anniversary of the original MUSCLE event from 2004. That’s not all. The K-I (Kai) Grand Prix will be brought back for the first time in 17 years with a total of 48 contestants taking part in a one day tournament. Since every Muscle show is a virtually identical performance per episode that means Muscle is running an entire 48-Man tournament five times in three days. But since this is Muscle that also means a lot of nonsense and shenanigans will be going on to derail everything. Nothing ever goes right when this promotion organizes a tournament. They still haven’t finished their New Year Tag Festival from 2009.

DDT “MEGA MAX BUMP 2022 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 01/05/2022

GANBARE☆PRO “MINORITY REPORT 2022”, 08/01/2022
Kitazawa Town Hall
101 Fans

1. PocchaJo Vs ChocoPro Full Scale Battle!: Baliyan Akki & Yuna Mizumori defeated Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase when Mizumori pinned Manase with the Supergirl (10:18).
2. Hatsuyume Special Tag Match: Moeka Haruhi & Ayame Sasamura defeated HARUKAZE & Ann Cham when Haruhi pinned HARUKAZE with the Diving Foot Stomp (12:29).
3. Ganpro New Year Battle 2022: Shota, Soma Takao & Taison Maeguchi defeated Shuichiro Katsumura, Shigehiro Irie & Nobuhiro Shimatani when Takao pinned Shimatani with the Official Endless Waltz (12:14).
4. New Year Special Single Match: Keisuke Ishii defeated Mizuki Watase with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (14:15).
5. Takaiwa Army Vs Ganpro Full Scale Battle!: Ken Ohka, Shinichiro Tominaga & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Tatsuhito Takaiwa, 5th Black Tiger & Kenya Maeda when Ohka pinned Maeda with the Fire Spear (13:54).

The final show of today’s Ganbare☆Pro tripleheader saw Ken Ohka lead his team to battle against Tatsuhito Takaiwa and his army. A low from the 5th Black Tiger to Ohka gave Takaiwa the opening to hit the Death Valley Bomb. But Ohka recovered and hit the Fire Spear to both Takaiwa and then Kenya Maeda while Shinichiro Tominaga & Kouki Iwasaki held everyone else back to win the match.

Afterwards Ohka approached Shinjiro Otani and asked him for advice before the Monday’s Spirit Of Ganbare Title match. Otani slapped him across the face to fire him up and said he’s seen Takaiwa cross the line many times. Ohka has to take him seriously in order to win the title from him. Ohka took his words to heart and told everyone to expect him to win the championship and bring it to Korakuen Hall next month! Takaiwa said he is looking forward to the match because Ohka has become more challenging and charismatic since their last singles match.

Keisuke Ishii gave Mizuki Watase a big performance to show he means business. He gave Watase a Fisherman Suplex from the entrance ramp to the floor during the match! Those who know Ishii’s love for King’s Road wrestling will understand how much the ramp spot means to him.
