The big supershow came and went without a hitch! DDT, NOAH, Tokyo Joshi Pro and Ganbare☆Pro all worked together to offer their best effort at Saitama Super Arena in front of 4,800 fans. When the three main events were done the three main champions of DDT, NOAH & TJPW entered the ring to thank the fans for coming to see them. Naomichi Marufuji said the CyberFight promotions will energize everyone with the power of pro wrestling. Jun Akiyama thanked everyone for attending even in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic. He also thanked the fans watching on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. Last but not least Miyu Yamashita pointed out this was the largest crowd TJPW has performed in front of. She is certain that many people saw TJPW for the first time today and will be happy if any of them will stick around to see more. The entire cast of wrestlers gathered together on the stage for a massive group photo to close out the show.

Only one title changed hands out of the three main event championship matches. On the NOAH side, Marufuji won the GHC Heavyweight Title from Keiji Muto in what was called a “Genius Showdown”. Muto pulled out all the stops to try and win, going far enough to pull out the Moonsault that he retired three years ago! Just as shocking was Marufuji kicking out of the pin. He then got on the attack and unleashed all of his kicking and knee strikes on the champion. Muto tried to block what he could but he fell to the Tiger King Zero and the title now belongs to Marufuji.

DDT’s main event saw Akiyama choke out HARASHIMA to retain the KO-D Openweight Title. Akiyama entered the ring carrying the giant hammer commonly seen in DDT’s hardcore matches as a sign of loyalty to the company. HARASHIMA took the big risk of doing the Swan Dive Somato but Akiyama rolled out of the way. The champion then struck HARASHIMA with a Knee Kick and then dropped him with the Wrist Clutch Exploder. For weeks the Front Neck Lock was the finishing move used by both wrestlers so it was only fitting for Akiyama to sink it in on his opponent until the referee called for the bell. Backstage Akiyama said he has now defeated all of DDT’s icons. Next in line for him is whoever wins King Of DDT. If Akiyama wins the tournament then he promises to nominate Sanshiro Takagi so they can see which of them in their 50s is stronger.

Over at TJPW, Yamashita scored her first Princess Of Princess Title defence by beating Yuka Sakazaki. The match meant a lot to both wrestlers and they brought out their big moves. Sakazaki attempted the Magical Girl 450 Splash but missed, Yamashita hit the Skull Kick but was too tired to go for the pin allowing Sakazaki enough recovery time to reach for a rope break when she was pinned. Yamashita feigned a Crash Rabbit Heat to make Sakazaki flinch, then redirected herself to hit the move from another angle. With her opponent’s defence down, Yamashita hit the move proper for the victory. Yamashita tried to communicate with Sakazaki after the match but got a big slap across the face instead. Sakazaki stormed off while Yamashita celebrated with her title. Backstage Yamashita said she wants TJPW to push even further and aim for their own event at Sumo Hall.

The big DDT Vs NOAH match of the show provided the perfect storm to show two wrestlers going in opposite directions. DDT’s Yuki Ueno is having a banner year while NOAH’s Kaito Kiyomiya is currently going through a rough slump of results. The DDT’s team lived up to Konosuke Takeshita’s promise of getting an overwhelming win over Kiyomiya & Yoshiki Inamura. Takeshita used his power to do a German Suplex to Kiyomiya and his own partner Ueno. A big Dropkick from Ueno to Kiyomiya’s face was the move that captured everyone’s attention and the Best Moonsault Ever sealed the deal. Both of the DDT wrestlers were impressed with Inamura’s power though. This might not be the last time they cross paths. Kiyomiya insists that this current run of bad results is just a passing point for him.

The spirit of DDT was on full display when they went into battle against Kongo. The DDT team led by Sanshiro Takagi were as motivated as ever after Kenoh called the company a place only for wrestlers with side jobs. They armed themselves with many of DDT’s signature weapons: the Dramatic Dream Cycle, the rotary drill, the big hammer and the strongest of them all… Yoshihiko! The big meeting in the ring was when Yukio Sakaguchi and Kenoh faced off. During the chaos Kenoh must have lost his mind because he decided to use the Dramatic Dream to run over Takagi on the ramp! He and Katsuhiko Nakajima continued to beat on Takagi when Sakaguchi & Kazusada Higuchi came to the rescue. Sakaguchi hit Kenoh with the God’s Right Knee. Then, with Yoshihiko’s help, he caught Kenoh in the Sleeper Hold and held him back while Takagi pinned Haoh with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb. Takagi told Kenoh afterwards that he hates him but he will never force him to change his style. Every promotion in CyberFight can do the pro wrestling they want to do. There is only one goal and that is become the No. 1 pro wrestling power in the industry!

DDT’s offer match for the show was DAMNATION taking on the combined power of Chris Brookes & The 37KAMIINA in a trios match. MAO pulled out a firecracker but Daisuke Sasaki ducked and the pop hit Shunma Katsumata instead. DAMNATION went on a tear with Soma Takao using a Hurricanrana to Brookes out of the ring onto everyone outside, Tetsuya Endo then hitting a Swan Dive Shooting Star Press and even Mad Paulie getting involved behind the referee’s back. Sasaki finished MAO off with the Crossover Facelock to give DAMNATION the victory.

There were no heel turns in the NOAH Jr. Heavyweight match. I repeat, there were no heel turns in the NOAH Jr. Heavyweight match! The champion trio of Atsushi Kotoge, Daisuke Harada & Hajime Ohara went toe to toe against STINGER. Kotoge & Ohara cut off Yoshinari Ogawa & HAYATA outside the ring while Harada pinned Seiki Yoshioka with the Katayama German Suplex. Harada said it gives his team confidence to go into the match as champions and win.

The SKE48 idol Yuki Arai has gotten a lot of attention with her move into pro wrestling. Today was only her second match but it was still given a big spot on the card given it was her first bout in front of an audience. SKE48 graduate Jurina Matsui was in attendance to see her fight. Arai’s immediate rival Maki Itoh formed the Saitama Itoh Respect Army 2021 to steal the attention away from her. Having Yuki Kamifuku & Marika Kobashi on Itoh’s side worked out in the end because Arai almost pinned Itoh with the Finally (Axe Kick). They broke the count then got into a fight with Hikari Noa & Mizuki. With all of them out of the way, Itoh caught Arai in a Crab Hold then twisted it in a different angle to get the submission win. That version of the move is called the Itoh Punish. Jurina cheered her friend on when Arai was helped out of the ring by her partners.

One of the DDT Vs NOAH matches had Masa Kitamiya smash through Hideki Okatani in under three minutes. Okatani put up a fight in that short time but Suplexes, a Lariat and the Jail Hold resulted in Kitamiya getting his hand raised.

The unofficial SUGI & SAKU Titles match is one that Takashi Sugiura will not remember fondly in years to come. Probably not the weirdest thing Kazushi Sakuraba has ever been a part of though, to be honest. Sugiura & Sakuraba wrestled most of the match wearing their custom Super Strong Machine masks anyway. Before the match began, Super Sasadango Machine held a PowerPoint presentation titled “How To Beat Sugiura & Sakuraba”. You cannot beat them under normal conditions but Sugiura-gun are also not used to fighting against comedy wrestlers. The plan then is to make them laugh to throw them off their game. Sasadango brought out plastic bats to play a Guru Guru spinning game but Sugiura attacked him with it instead. Danshoku Dieno wore a mask of actress Takako Tokiwa’s face to seduce Sakuraba but his trap was foiled by an Ankle Lock. Sasadango unmasked in a moment that looked serious, but it was just so he could wear pantyhose on his head. Sugiura was then forced to wear pantyhose over his head too. He pinned Sasadango to end the bout and then apologised to the fans for having them watch a shit match.

The TJPW 3 Way Tag Match involved three teams all in position to get a future Princess Tag Team Titles shot. Kyoraku Kyomei warned that Shoko Nakajima was going to destroy Saitama Super Arena in a kaiju rampage but Hyper Misao would immediately fix it afterwards like the hero she is. The match went wild with Daydream and The Bakuretsu Sisters also involved. Kyoraku Kyomei came out on top in the end. Rika Tatsumi argued that Daydream still won because she and Miu Watanabe did not get pinned. Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino said they still had fun despite Aino dropping the fall.

Yuki Iino revealed a new pink wrestling outfit when he came out for the opening match. The NOAH team of Junta Miyawaki & Kinya Okada were determined to start the show off on the right track for their company. Miyawaki made Toui Kojima tap out to get his team the win. Kojima ended up with a dislocated left elbow at some point but continued to fight until the end.

The STARTING BATTLE pre-show consisted of three matches and was home to Ganpro’s matches on the day. The headline bout of this section had Shuichiro Katsumura, Kouki Iwasaki & Yumehito Imanari defeat Ken Ohka, Keisuke Ishii & Shota. Everyone involved treated the match as if they were fighting to become the hero of Saitama Super Arena. Iwasaki got the pin and said he is ready to fight with anyone in Ganpro and was proud to do his thing inside this building. Ohka closed out this portion of the show by shouting “We are Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling!”

Antonio Honda was the last person standing in the Battle Royal. The match featured the return to the ring of Yoshiaki Yatsu for the first time in two years. He wrestled with his specailly made prosthetic foot after his right leg was amputated due to worsening diabetes. Yatsu was the first entrant in the match so he wasn’t taking things easy. Wrestlers from DDT, NOAH and Ganpro filled the ring and in the end, Honda used the power of Gongitsune to guide his way to victory.

The very first match of the day was the debut match of TJPW’s newest wrestler, Kaya Toribami. There was very little information about the masked woman given out and a solid performance in the ring today raises some questions. Is this somebody who already has wrestling experience going incognito? For the rest of the field, they could hardly contain themselves to perform in a major venue.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STILL INCOMPLETE” Results

April 17, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STILL INCOMPLETE”, 17/04/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
510 Fans

1. Marika Kobashi & Sena Shiori defeated Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo when Shiori submitted Watanabe with the Checkmate (8:39).
2. Miu Watanabe, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Yuna Manase, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko when Raku pinned Neko with the Doctor Yellow (10:10).
3. Miyu Yamashita defeated Hikari Noa with the Skull Kick (9:30).
4. 3 Way Tag Match: Mirai Maiumi & Suzume defeated Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki and Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao when Maiumi pinned Nakajima with the Lariat (10:40).
5. International Princess Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) defeated Nao Kakuta with the Famouser (9:02).
*V3 for Yuki Kamifuku.
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino (c) when Saint-Michel pinned Aino with a Cradle (17:36).
*The Bakuretsu Sisters fail in V3. NEO Biishiki-gun becomes the 8th Princess Tag Team Champions!
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) defeated Maki Itoh with the Missile Hip (19:36).
*V2 for Rika Tatsumi.

The middle fingers went a flying in the Princess Of Princess Title match. When Maki Itoh attempted to apply the Itoh Special, Rika Tatsumi gave her the finger. Itoh bit it so Tatsumi gave her the finger with her other hand only for Itoh to bite that too. The distraction threw Itoh off her game anyway and Tatsumi caught her in the Dragon Sleeper. Itoh survived being choked out by raising her own middle fingers into the air. She had a last gasp at victory by rolling Tatsumi into the Itoh Royal but only got a two count out of it. Tatsumi used a Hip Attack to cut off her opponent’s momentum. She then hit the Twist Of Fate and pinned Itoh with the Missile Hip from the top rope.

Tatsumi praised Itoh for her efforts and asked her to come back for a fist bump. Itoh stuck her middle finger in Tatsumi’s face instead and left. Tatsumi then called for Miyu Yamashita’s attention. Three years ago Yamashita gave her a title shot in the main event of Korakuen Hall during Golden Week. Tatsumi couldn’t beat her then but things are different now. She wants to be the strongest champion and to do that she needs to beat the strongest challengers. That means Tatsumi wants to defend the belt against Yamashita next! She asked if Yamashita is prepared to take the challenge? Yamashita responded by slapping Tatsumi across the face. Tatsumi slapped her back and said their title match will happen on the 4th May Korakuen show.

The first “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart winners barely won the Princess Tag Team Titles by the skin of their teeth. The Bakuretsu Sisters did the smart thing by getting rid of Sakisama. That was set up when Yuki Aino blocked Sakisama’s Apron PK and held her on her shoulders so Nodoka Tenma could his the Bakuretsu Bulldog onto the floor. That left Mei Saint-Michel scrambling to continue fighting by herself. Tenma gave her the Killswitch and it looked to be all over. However, Saint-Michel suddenly Cradled Tenma and got the three count for the shock result.

Sakisama asked Saint-Michel how she was feeling now they are the champions? “C’est bien!” Now that she has her own championship belt that matches with Sakisama’s, she thinks she has achieved her goal of becoming a fully fledged maid! Suddenly, BeeStar entered the ring to cut off her victory speech, causing Saint-Michel to freeze on the spot. Mirai Maiumi apologized for the interruption but she wants to challenge NEO Biishiki-gun for the Princess Tag Titles. Suzume admitted they’ve been beaten by the new champions before but they are not the same now as they were back then. BeeStar will beat them to evolve even more! Sakisama told BeeStar she doesn’t remember who they are. She also doesn’t have time right now because she is very busy playing the new Monster Hunter. So Sakisama is giving BeeStar two weeks to improve because they will get their title match on 4th May.

With three defences achieved, Yuki Kamifuku now has the most successful International Princess Title run in the championship’s short history. Her grudge with Nao Kakuta over glamour against normality has also been settled with today’s result. Kakuta’s attempt to use her Shiden Kai finisher was countered into the Famouser. Kamifuku also used her long legs to fight out of a Crossface Lock, hit a Dropkick and used another Famouser to get the win. They shook hands and Kakuta told the press afterwards that during the handshake Kamifuku quietly apologized for calling her ugly.

BeeStar were the last team standing in Tokyo Joshi Pro’s first ever 3 Way Tag Match. The rules put in place allowed no tags so it was more of a tornado tag team affair. To make things even more unusual, the Kyoraku Kyomei team had a difference of opinion that led to Hyper Misao offering to team with The Magical Sugar Rabbits while Shoko Nakajima wanted to side with BeeStar. It turned out to be a trick and the two were still together all along. The match was frantic with different pairings going at it. BeeStar got rid of MagiRabi when Maiumi hit Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki with a Double Lariat. Nakajima grabbed Suzume for the Northern Lights Suplex but that left her vulnerable for Maiumi to hit her with the Lariat and win the match.

Hikari Noa still has a lot to learn if she wants to beat the likes of Yamashita. She’s gotten stronger by having the Hardcore Match a while ago but was a bit too eager to charge into a Front Kick at the corner. That gave Yamashita the opening to hit the Skull Kick.

Raku getting the win for her team turned out to be special because today is her mother’s birthday. Both Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku sang “Happy Birthday to Raku-chan’s mom” backstage when she told them about it. Yuna Manase motivated Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko to continue doing their best even though they lost. Even though Manase is in a different promotion now, she is still watching over TJPW and wants everyone to meet her expectations.

The opening match saw Sena Shiori earn her first victory with a new submission move. The Checkmate is an Arm Clutch Half Crab Hold and Shiori made Moka Miyamoto submit to it. It is a move Shiori has been thinking about because using a normal Crab Hold wasn’t working for her. She thanked Marika Kobashi for teaming with her and said it is really encouraging to work with Kobashi. Both Miyamoto and Arisu Endo are left waiting for another day to get their first win.

Yuki Arai introduced herself to the fans at the start of the show. She is still worried about her debut wrestling match on 4th May while also working as an idol. She wants to grow from here so everyone can say her debut match was a success.

The 2021 Tokyo Princess Cup will be held across multiple shows during the summer. The first two rounds will be held at Shin-Kiba 1st RING from 22nd to 25th July. The quarter finals will be held in Shinjuku FACE on 31st July. The final rounds will be held in Korkauen Hall on 15th August.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “CHANGE THE WIND DIRECTION” Results

March 6, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “CHANGE THE WIND DIRECTION”, 06/03/2021
Tokyo Nerima coconeri Hall
208 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Semi Final: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori when Saint-Michel submitted Shiori with the Saint-Michel (11:42).
2. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Semi Final: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao when Yamashita pinned Misao with the Attitude Adjustment (15:02).
3. Nao Kakuta, Marika Kobashi, Raku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Mirai Maiumi, Suzume, Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo when Kakuta pinned Endo with the Shiden Kai (10:55).
4. 3 Way Match: Yuki Kamifuku defeated Mizuki and Haruna Neko when Kamifuku pinned Neko with the Fame Asser (8:37).
5. Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Yuka Sakazaki defeated Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku when Tenma pinned Harajuku with the Killswitch (13:09).
6. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh when Sakisama pinned Yamashita with the Academy Award (14:05).

NEO Biishiki-gun wins the first “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament! It was a close one in the final against 121000000. They took it down towards two against one when Sakisama got rid of Maki Itoh with an Apron PK. Miyu Yamashita almost grabbed victory from the jaws of defeat when she hit Sakisama with the Skull Kick then had her pinned with a German Suplex. Mei Saint-Michel broke the pin with a Double Knee Drop to Yamashita and Sakisama was the first back to her feet. She hit the Academy Award to the back of Yamashita’s head for a nearfall then did the move again from the front to win the final.

When NEO Biishiki-gun were given their trophies, Saint-Michel was thrilled to receive an identical prize that her master gets. Sakisama doesn’t care about the trophies but if her maid is so happy to have a matching item then there is something better out there they should get. Sakisama now want the Princess Tag Team Titles! She called out The Bakuretsu Sisters to sell the belts to her but they refused. Saint-Michel then had a tug of war with Nodoka Tenma over a belt but she lost and was thrown to the canvas. She told NEO Biishiki-gun that if they want the titles then they should win them properly. A title match was made for the next Korakuen Hall show on 17th April. Yuki Aino said that they have to beat NEO Biishiki-gun because they couldn’t do it the last time they had a title match when Sakisama and her partner were the champions.

Backstage after the show, Yamashita apologized to Itoh for losing. Itoh was also sorry because Yamashita always supported her but she couldn’t do the same today. Itoh kept thanking Yamashita for teaming with her then started talking about becoming stronger when she comes back. Yamashita was confused and asked if this was the end of their team but Itoh wouldn’t answer her directly. She only said when she comes back, she will become even stronger…

The semi finals saw NEO Biishiki-gun eliminate HikaShio in a rematch from 4th Janaury and 121000000 beat Kyoraku Kyomei. A disappointed Sena Shiori thought her team with Hikari Noa had gotten stronger but they found out it wasn’t strong enough. Noa remembers chasing after Natsumi Maki when they were a tag team and she learned you cannot get stronger just by doing that. So that’s the lesson Shiori should learn from today. They will continue teaming together so they can become equals. Hyper Misao promised to fight fair but instead used her cloak as a weapon against Yamashita. However she couldn’t beat Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima was held in place with the Itoh Special.

Mizuki got blinded by Haruna Neko during the 3 Way Match after Neko scratched her in the eyes. She continued trying to fight but missed dives and tangled with other people not wrestling in the match by mistake. She ended up falling outside the ring and wrestling with Mahiro Kiryu while Yuki Kamifuku beat Neko.

The DDT Extreme Title will be defended in a Kids Room Death Match. Fitting given how much Shunma Katsumata and MAO act like kids whenever they fight each other. You can win with a normal 3 count but you can also win when all of your 1 and 2 counts add up to a total score of 37 (which in Japanese kind of sounds like Sauna). No rope breaks are allowed and weapons are permitted except those considered by the referee to be particularly dangerous.

Yuki Ueno and Yusuke Okada have to be split apart and put on opposite teams again.

BOYZ “(BRAND NEW) BOYZ α -HINAMATSURI EDITION-”, 03/03/2021
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. Doki! A Tag Team Match Full Of People Careers Of 2 Years Or Less: Keigo Nakamura & Toui Kojima Vs Issei Onizuka & Hideki Okatani
2. Young Communication Generation x Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling Exchange Match!: Akito & Shota Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Yumehito Imanari
3. New BOYZ Army Vs Old BOYZ Army 5 Vs 5 Winner Take All: Konosuke Takeshita, Chris Brookes, Yuki Ueno, MAO & Jun Masaoka Vs HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi, Makoto Oishi, Keisuke Ishii & Kazuki Hirata

The main event is a Gauntlet match between the new and old faces of BOYZ. Eliminations occur under normal rules as well as being thrown over the top rope and out of the ring. Any kind of draw will eliminate both wrestlers and there is a 10 minute time limit for each match. The team order will be submitted at the start of the show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “CHANGE THE WIND DIRECTION”, 06/03/2021
Tokyo Nerima coconeri Hall

1. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Semi Final: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel Vs Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori
2. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Semi Final: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
3. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: X & X Vs X & X

We’re down to four teams: NEO Biishiki-gun, HikaShio, 121000000 and Kyoraku Kyomei. Ever since Sakisama returned to Tokyo Joshi Pro for her latest campaign, Sena Shiori has been a regular opponent for her in what has been a one sided feud so far. The other side of the bracket involves two teams both with massive momentum behind them.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GENGHIS KHAN KIRISHIMA PRESENTS TJPW PPV SHOW 3 ~11 VS 11 KOUHAKU TAIKO THE☆BATTLE 2021~”, 07/03/2021
OPENREC.tv

1. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
2. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
3. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
4. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
5. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
6. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
7. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
8. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
9. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
10. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
11. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X

The teams will now consist of 11 participants instead of 12 because Maki Itoh has a scheduling conflict and cannot be on the show. I have no inkling of what the schedule clash is so you’re not getting any speculation here. Team White is captained by Rika Tatsumi and Team Red has Shoko Nakajima as their captain. A lottery will determine who from the roster will be on which team. Each match has a 5 minute time limit and 2 Count pins. If the time expires then 1 Count sudden death overtime begins to determine the winner. The team with the most wins at the end gets the Genghis Khan Kirishima prize voucher.

DDT “DAY DREAM BELIEVER 2021”, 14/03/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Junretsu Vs Eruption!: Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi
2. DDT UNIVERSAL TITLE: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Yusuke Okada

Okada has stepped up to Ueno, jealous of the DDT UNIVERSAL Champion for being more successful and better looking than him. There’s still a sense of friendly competition going on between them but that could get thrown out the window if the match gets heated.

GANBARE☆PRO “RUMBLEFISH 2021”, 21/03/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. THE HALFEE Vs Team MAKAI: Shuichiro Katsumura & Shu Sakurai Vs Asuka & Hagane Shinno
2. Special 6-Man Tag Just Before Korakuen: Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Takashi Sasaki, Shigehiro Irie & SAGAT
3. Shota’s Independent Journey Vol. 2: Shota Vs Onryo
4. Spring HARU Vs Manase Wasshoi: Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE Vs Yuna Manase & Ayumi Hayashi
5. STOP THE Hidaka! Special Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Ikuto Hidaka & Yasu Urano

It looks like Ikuto Hidaka has virtually swept the Ganbare☆Pro roster but Kouki Iwasaki wants another shot at him. They last fought each other in a singles match back in November.

Onryo is a big step up from Shota’s last opponent that’s for sure.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 01/04/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Hardcore Match: Hikari Noa Vs Rina Yamashita

Tokyo Joshi wants to challenge their roster to new possibilities with a series of shorter experimental shows held in front of a small audience. The first of these will be main evented by Hikari Noa and Rina Yamashita in a Hardcore Match! Noa has been wanting to do hardcore wrestling for ages and Rina was the first person she suggested as her opponent. She wants to learn as much hardcore wrestling as she can from her while in return introduce Rina to TJPW.

GANBARE☆PRO “BAD COMMUNICATION 2021”, 07/04/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

2. Ganpro Vs DDT Full Scale Battle: Keisuke Ishii & Shota Vs Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Ueno
3. Daihyo Vs Daihyo ~ Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match: Ken Ohka Vs Takashi Sasaki

Two promotion representatives face off in the main event. It’s Ken Ohka from Ganpro against Takashi Sasaki from FREEDOMS. Ohka wants to go one step further after he finally defeated The Aka Rangers and he is willing to go through lighttubes to do it!

The new GWC 6-Man Tag Team Champions have decided to hold off on defending the belts until this show. It was Shinichiro Tominaga’s idea because he does not want to risk losing the titles before they make it to Korakuen Hall.

Wrestlers announced to appear include Moeka Haruhi, Minoru Fujita, Yasu Urano, Miyuki Takase and Ayumi Hayashi.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2021 WINTER ~LOVERS~” Results

February 21, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2021 WINTER ~LOVERS~”, 21/02/2021
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall
163 Fans – No Vacancy

1. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Noa pinned Kiryu with the Blizzard Suplex (8:55).
2. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Mirai Maiumi & Suzume when Saint-Michel submitted Suzume with the Saint-Michel (14:28).
3. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo defeated Marika Kobashi, Raku, Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko when Sakazaki pinned Harajuku with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (8:43).
4. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe when Itoh submitted Tatsumi with the Modified Itoh Special (13:53).
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino when Nakajima pinned Tenma with the Diving Senton (14:09).

Two rounds in and the big guns of the tournament have mostly all fallen. The Bakuretsu Sisters were eliminated by Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao in a rematch of the recent Princess Tag Team Titles defence. Misao saved her partner from the Killswitch and got rid of Yuki Aino with the Hipami Returns. That gave Nakajima the opening to pin Nodoka Tenma with the Diving Senton. Nakajima still regrets failing to win the Tag Titles and owes a debt to Misao over it so they’re aiming to win the tournament! Also Nakajima noticed that she is moving faster and lighter around the ring than she has been for the last month. Maybe being a superhero for a month worked out for her after all. The Sisters are obviously disappointed over losing and said they will wait at the top of the mountain for the eventual tournament winners. They’ll take the lift up there while everyone else is climbing after them.

Daydream were also eliminated in an upset but the result might be a sign of an upcoming shift in power at Tokyo Joshi Pro. The team of Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh is not a new pairing and their teamwork was something Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe didn’t anticipate. Itoh was lifted up for the Daydream Eternity but Yamashita saved her and dropped Tatsumi face first into Itoh’s head before German Suplexing her. Itoh then took over with a Modified Itoh Special and shockingly made Tatsumi tap out! Backstage, Yamashita & Itoh announced they now have a tag team name. From today forward they are 121000000 (One To Million)! Itoh explained that they may not be able to win on their own, but together they are both a million times stronger. Yamashita came up with other names but Itoh ignored her messages and came up with 121000000 after talking with Yuki Kamifuku.

Whatever bad omen Sakisama sensed yesterday doesn’t have anything to do with NEO Biishiki-gun it seems. They had no problem beating BeeStar today. Mirai Maiumi & Suzume are so insignificant to Sakisama that she only remembers them by their colours, blue and yellow. She also isn’t impressed that the tournament winners will get a trophy because she can buy trophies whenever she wants. She wants a victory parade instead.

Last but not least, Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori made it to the semi-finals over Toyo University Tag. Shiori said her bond with Noa is strong which is why their team works. Kamifuku teased Mahiro Kiryu backstage for losing the fall. She said Kiryu lied to her about wanting to win today. She threatened to leave her unless she promises not to lie to her again and also buy her lunch at the school cafeteria. Only then will they make up.

The semi-final lottery was held later in the evening for the final rounds happening on 6th March. The first semi-final is NEO Biishiki-gun Vs Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori (team name HikaShio). The other is 121000000 Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (team name Kyoraku Kyomei).

A new series of events called “TJPW INSPIRATION” will begin on 1st April. The concept will be an experimental show held every couple of months with a small roster being challenged with new possibilities. The main event of the first show will be Hikari Noa versus freelancer Rina Yamashita in a Hardcore Match! Noa wants to absorb everything that Yamashita throws at her. She also wants Yamashita to go to Tokyo Joshi proper so this might not be a one time appearance.
