The 5th “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament

January 13, 2025

This weekend is the beginning of Tokyo Joshi Pro’s annual Max Heart Tournament. Just like last year the reigning Princess Tag Team Champions are not taking part. Maki Itoh is off touring with GCW again but Miyu Yamashita should be around for non-tournament matches. Mizuki has decided not to participate in this year’s event because she wants to focus on her Princess Of Princess Title reign. In a similar vein Rika Tatsumi will not enter the tournament either because she wants to prepare for her Princess Title shot against Mizuki set for March. That means when this tournament begins Kyoraku Kyomei will become the only team that has entered together for every year. Will this finally be the year they win it?

– Kyoraku Kyomei (Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao)
– Daisy Monkey (Suzume & Arisu Endo)
– Pompaler (Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku)
– Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
– Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko
– Haru Kazashiro & Toga
– Yuki Aino & Raku
– Miu Watanabe & Uta Takami
– Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami
– HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
– Ivy Steele & Kira Summer

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’25” Results

January 4, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’25”, 04/01/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,483 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Toga & Chika Nanase defeated HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida when Toga pinned Ashida with the Rock Bottom (10:42).
2. Ryo Mizunami, Kaya Toribami & Yoshiko Hasegawa defeated Matcha, Ivy Steele & Kira Summer when Mizunami pinned Steele with the Spear (8:25).
3. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Aja Kong, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko when Aino pinned Neko with the Venus DDT (10:25).
4. New Year! Lumbersnake Death Match: Hyper Misao defeated Shoko Nakajima with the Hypami Returns (12:00).
*Special Referee: Poison Sawada JULIE
5. Yuka Sakazaki & Moka Miyamoto defeated Arisu Endo & Shino Suzuki when Sakazaki pinned Suzuki with the Magical Girl Splash (10:25).
6. Yuki Kamifuku & Lei Ying Lee defeated Rika Tatsumi & Wakana Uehara when Lee pinned Uehara with the Thunder Strike (12:07).
7. International Princess Title: Suzume defeated Yuki Arai (c) with the Modified Ring A Bell (13:20).
*Yuki Arai fails in V7. Suzume becomes the 13th International Princess Champion!
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) defeated Masha Slamovich & Zara Zakher when Yamashita pinned Zakher with the Crash Rabbit Heat (12:05).
*V3 for 121000000.
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki defeated Miu Watanabe (c) with the Cutie Special (18:40).
*Miu Watanabe fails in V6. Mizuki becomes the 15th Princess Of Princess Champion!

Looks like Mizuki was right. She is the princess and Miu Watanabe is the monster she defeated today to become the new Princess Of Princess Champion! Watanabe relied on her great strength to swing Mizuki around but Mizuki hit the Cutie Special into the corner to turn things around. Watanabe was able to do a Reverse Tear Drop but Mizuki hit back with the Whirling Candy. Then with the champion feeling stunned, Mizuki ran up and did a Pop Up Double Stomp to flatten her before using another Cutie Special to win the match.

Mizuki said the match was hard and Watanabe was indeed a monster. But she also saw Watanabe shining like a princess first hand. She wanted to be the champion again and put so much pressure on herself she became worried over what to do if she lost. But hearing everyone’s cheers were what pushed Mizuki to do what she wanted to do and win. She is happy to see so many people come to see the show and told everyone 2025 is only just beginning for Tokyo Joshi Pro! When she exited the ring she saw Yuka Sakazaki watching from behind the entrance curtain and went to go join her. Backstage Watanabe said she feels lonely without the championship but she’ll keep doing her best.

The goal of reaching 10 defences is still on for 121000000. In Defence #3 Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh put the Princess Tag Team Titles on the line against the foreign pairing of Masha Slamovich & Zara Zakher. The champs also debuted new gear as well as a new intro song made by Itoh. Zakher dodged the Skull Kick and used a cartwheel to give Yamashita an RKO but Itoh broke the pin. The champs then gave Zakher a Stunner into a German Suplex. Itoh held Slamovich in a Crab Hold while Yamashita cut down Zakher with a Buzzsaw Kick before finishing her off with the Crash Rabbit Heat. Backstage Yamashita called it a tough match that woke her up from her new year slump. She then tried to get Itoh to apologize for eliminating her from the Princess Rumble. Itoh ignored her and headed back to the locker room. Slamovich told reporters she would like to defend the TNA Knockouts World Title the next time she comes back to Japan. Zakher also wants to keep coming back to TJPW until she wins a championship here.

The year long International Princess Title reign has come to an end! Yuki Arai was defeated by Suzume in her seventh attempted defence. Suzume was able to block the Rookie Award only for Arai to hit it from behind. She hit it again from the front but only got a two count for it. Suzume then countered the Full Nelson Buster into a Facebuster and went for the Ring A Bell. Arai blocked it and pushed Suzume to the ropes where Suzume did a springboard off the middle rope to launch herself into hitting the Ring A Bell for the victory! Suzume said from the first time they met she thought Arai’s presence was so powerful it was intimidating. But Suzume’s desire to win the title is stronger and everyone was cheering her, Arisu Endo included. She wants to fight wrestlers from around the world and break Arai’s title defence record. Arai doesn’t feel as upset as she thought she would be because she gave it her all. She now wants to become a pro wrestler who can take on many challenges and fight for other championships as well as the IP Title.

The team up of Yuki Kamifuku & Lei Ying Lee worked out well enough for them to win. As Kamifuku described it afterwards: yesterday’s enemy is tomorrow’s friend. She took out Rika Tatsumi with a Reverse Famouser while Lee ended up pinning Wakana Uehara with a Modified Hercules Cutter followed by the Thunder Strike. Lee said she had a great time in TJPW and would also like a rematch with Kamifuku for her championships. Kamifuku told her she’ll ask the company if they’re interested. Tatsumi said her new year fortune warned her that a storm-like disaster will occur and all of a sudden it happened here today! She also said Lee has an aura around her that nobody in TJPW has. Tatsumi also got mad when she heard Uehara say she would like to team up with Kamifuku next.

The return of Sakazaki to TJPW was slightly changed due to Haru Kazashiro falling ill. Her and Moka Miyamoto were still teaming up and Shino Suzuki was moved up the card to team with Endo in Kazahsiro’s place. Suzuki took her chance by putting Sakazaki in the Sleeper Hold but she was shaken off and dropped with the Tea Time. Endo tried to help her out but got brushed aside so Sakazaki & Miyamoto could finish Suzuki off. Sakazaki described Suzuki in her current state as a soft shelled turtle. She has a lot of guts and will grow into becoming a good wrestler. Sakazaki also noticed Endo has become calmer and more reliable than the last time they fought each other. She told Miyamoto to take care of TJPW so she can watch with peace of mind when everyone is doing their best. She would like to come back again even just to watch from the sidelines but is unsure of what her future schedule will be like.

2025 is the Year Of The Snake so that explains why Poison Sawada JULIE has suddenly returned to TJPW! He was called upon to be the special referee for the annual Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao match that was being held this year as a Lumber Snake Death Match. Sawada got up to his tricks before it even begun when Nakajima found an “energy drink” backstage, drank it and then fainted. The drink was actually Sawada’s potion that transformed her into a Snake Person! It turned out Sawada tricked several wrestlers into becoming Snake People and he led them out dancing to the song “Nikumikirenai Rokudenashi” by Kenji Sawada. He then announced he will transform TJPW into Hebikai Joshi Pro Wrestling! If Misao wants to bring everyone back to normal she will have to win and take the antidote from Sawada. Otherwise Misao will be forced to drink the potion too and become Viper Misao!

Misao now had to fight off an entire snake powered joshi company invasion by herself. It was made even tougher when Sawada stepped in to use his Snake Magic against her. She was able to block some of it by using her cape as a shield but Nakajima tucked the cape away to make it useless. Misao was attacked by the lumberjacks outside the ring so she ran off to get on the Hyper Mobile but Sawada’s magic steered her towards crashing into Mahiro Kiryu instead of his warriors. Misao fought back in the ring but when she was close to victory, Sawada pulled the ref out of the ring. Misao fought to get her cape back and when Nakajima used Snake Magic on her, Misao deflected it into Sawada to knock him out. She then gave Nakjima the Hypami Returns to win the match.

She quickly gave antidotes to the wrestlers after the match only to find out one was missing for Nakajima. Sawada revealed he purposely did not have enough antidotes for everyone so Nakajima would remain under his control! However Nakajima restrained herself from following his orders because she is determined to win the tag titles with Misao this year. Sawada could see Nakajima still has a human side to her so he revealed he actually does have one more antidote left and gave it to her. However as long as there is darkness in someone’s heart, he will return. Sawada also told Misao before leaving that she is too good to be a hero. TJPW then announced the annual Kyoraku Kyomei match will happen again at next year’s Ittenyon show.

Aja Kong was given the full Love Triangle experience and in return she gave them the full Aja Kong experience. Before the match began Kiryu was excluded from the other five wrestlers who all agreed to give her the Oyasumi Express. Kiryu lost her temper and Body Slammed all three opponents while Kong & Haruna Neko agreed to team with her as scheduled. She then demanded Kong apologize to her not once but twice because she felt the first one was not heartfelt. Kong told her she doesn’t know how to apologize so Kiryu demonstrated one by doing the Dogeza Knee Drop to Pom Harajuku. Kong was then asked by Harajuku for a New Year’s Gift so she hit Harajuku over the head with the steel can. Raku armed herself with her pillow to fight against Kong and her can. She hit Kong over the head with the pillow but got a Lariat in return. Yuki Aino came to the rescue and won the match for her team after giving Neko the Venus DDT. Kong blamed Kiryu for the loss because if she just accepted the 5-On-1 fight in the first place then Neko wouldn’t have lost! Kong also has bad knees so Kiryu shouldn’t have ordered her to apologize because it only would have made her knees worse!

The trio of Matcha, Ivy Steele & Kira Summer were excited to be in Japan for the holidays and wished everyone a happy new year while stretching Yoshiko Hasegawa in the middle of the ring. Hasegawa got some help from Kaya Toribami and together the two of them knocked Matcha & Summer out of the ring. That left Steele having to fight Ryo Mizunami by herself and she was beaten with a Spear. Mizunami said she was super happy to start the year with TJPW in front of a packed crowd. Despite losing, Matcha still thinks she was part of a good team and looks forward to seeing what will happen next.

The opening match was the TJPW debut of their newest signing, Mifu Ashida. She made a cheerleader type of entrance and used her agility to run circles around Toga & Chika Nanase. Toga cut her off with the Elbow Smash and hit a Rolling Thunder. She only got a two count because HIMAWARI broke the pin. Ashida tried fighting back but Toga hit her with another Elbow Smash and pinned her with the Rock Bottom. Toga said she sees Ashida as her rival because they debuted in the same year. She can tell she has a competitive side and would like to have a singles match against her. HIMAWARI called Ashida an immediate asset because she has a body with flexibility she has never seen before. Ashida herself is confident she can become a top wrestlers in TJPW within a year.

TJPW will soon be taking a ride on the bullet train! Sanshiro Takagi announced he will produce another wrestling match inside a travelling bullet train and this time it will involve TJPW. “SHINKANSEN JOSHI PRO WRESTLING” will be held on 15th February on the Nozomi line from Tokyo to Shin-Osaka. It will be an 8-Woman Falls Count Anywhere Match between Miu Watanabe, Mizuki, Raku & Aja Kong against Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh, Yuki Arai & Max The Impaler!

At the start of the show The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) debuted a new song called “Stand Up! Proof Of Love”. They were down a member because Uta Takami was out sick. When they finished the performance it was revealed that the lyrics were written by Hyper Misao!

The final Tokyo Joshi Pro show of 2024 was like a big party to close out the year. The very last match TJPW put together this year was the first Princess Rumble. It a 20-person Rumble with eliminations by pinfall, submission or being thrown over the top rope and out of the ring. Yuki Aino and HIMAWARI drew the unlucky first two entries but Aino was able to last until the very end. Yuna Manase was eliminated first to continue the unlucky weekend she’s been having. Hyper Misao showed why heroes still wear capes by using hers as a shield from Poison Sawada JULIE’s snake magic. Mahiro Kiryu apologized for 2024 as a whole. Kira Summer was able to eliminate Antonio Honda because the language barrier between them meant she wouldn’t fall for the Gongitsune trick. Maki Itoh used a pile of other wrestlers as a podium so she could sing above everyone. She also betrayed Miyu Yamashita by pulling the top rope down so Yamashita could fall out of the ring and get eliminated. Rika Tatsumi crushed Pokotan’s head before she eliminated the mascot. Haruna Neko was eliminated by everyone piling on top of her. Aja Kong was one of the mystery entrants. She eliminated Wakana Uehara and also helped Raku eliminate Kaya Toribami. Raku then hugged Arai and everyone piled on top of them. That meant Raku accidentally pinned Kong to eliminate her. The other surprise was Ryo Mizunami but she almost got herself disqualified by taking too long to enter the ring because she was partying too much at ringside. The two singles champions Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai tried working together until Aino & Raku got the better of Arai to knock her out of the match. Watanabe was able to fight on by herself and use the Tear Drop on Raku and then Aino to win the Rumble!

Watanabe was happy to win the match because she wins the prize which includes 10kg of rice cakes! She doesn’t actually know how many rice cakes that is but it doesn’t matter because winning the Princess Rumble is more proof that she is a princess, not a monster! Some of the other wrestlers got to say some words to close out the show. Arai said by spending the year as a champion, 2024 is the year that made her love pro wrestling. Yamashita is happy to have wrestled overseas a lot this year and she won a championship with Itoh. She then remembered Itoh eliminated her from the Rumble so she should be mad at her. Itoh quickly changed the subject by asking the fans who is the cutest in the world? Watanabe finished by saying how happy she is that so many people came to see TJPW this year. So let’s make next year even better!

A good chunk of the card was made up of championship matches featuring titles from wrestling companies around Southeast Asia. Yuki Kamifuku put her Asian Double Crown on the line against Lei Ying Lee from China in a match that was delayed since October. The vital point in the match was when Kamifuku countered a Power Bomb into the Famouser. She then dodged the Thunder Strike to hit another Famouser for the victory. She wondered why she had to spend the last show of the year taking part in a tough championship match when almost everyone else was being put in fun party matches. She didn’t like the vibe coming from Ying Lee but she does like her makeup so she wants to team up with her in the future. Ying Lee said this was her first title match since leaving WWE so she prepared a lot for it. She is disappointed she lost but thinks Kamifuku is a great opponent so she is also happy they had a great match against each other.

In a rematch from Thailand last month Pom Harajuku faced Matcha with the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title once again on the line. Harajuku wanted to win quickly but Matcha made sure they were going to have a challenging fight. Matcha thought she had the upper hand when she did the Saito Suplex but Harajuku immediately hit her back with the Pom de Justice. She then knocked Matcha off her feet with a Shin Kick to land another Pom de Justice for the three count and successful first defence. Backstage Harajuku thought defending once means the belt now belongs to her permanently. She got confused when everyone around her shook their heads. She admits the match was so crazy that she isn’t feeling right after it. Like she is no longer 3 years old but is now 18 months old. Matcha is sad she wasn’t able to win back the title but will not give up on her goal to be the SETUP champion again. She is also happy she got to wrestle in Korakuen Hall again nine years after her last match there.

The bulk of the undercard was made up of a 5 Vs 5 Team Gauntlet match called TJPW RUSH! Every match had a five minute time limit and could be won with a 2-Count Pinfall until one team lost all of its members. If time expired then it will go to Overtime with 1-Count Pinfalls needed to win. Shoko Nakajima was the Red Team captain and chose to enter first while the White Team captain Mizuki placed herself last in her team. Nakajima went off to a good start by beating Yoshiko Hasegawa and then Uta Takami. But the first upset of the match came when Shino Suzuki got a 2-Count pin on Nakajima to eliminate her! Suzuki continued the momentum by pinning Toga next but her underdog run came to an end thanks to Moka Miyamoto. The first time limit draw then happened between Miyamoto and Suzume. In Overtime Suzume scored the 1-Count pin to move on. She then went to another draw this time against her own Daisy Monkey partner Arisu Endo. This time Suzume lost in Overtime and was out. It was all up to Mizuki to save the White Team and she did it by beating Endo. The Red Team’s final entrant Haru Kazashiro fought her to a draw but Mizuki pinned her with the Cutie Special in Overtime to win the match outright. The White Team’s prize included a luxery set of beef and chicken (in other words, red and white meat). Mizuki revealed backstage their team order was Suzuki’s idea so she got the credit for the White Team’s victory.

Ivy Steele earned her first victory in TJPW by beating Chika Nanase in the opening match. She was able to get past the Inari Torii and use a Pumphandle Slam to win.

There was an announcement of two TJPW shows being held in Nagoya at the end of March right before Arai graduates from SKE48. There will be a full wrestling show at Chunichi Hall on 29th March. Then on the 30th there will be a show containing only three matches but will also include an SKE48 concert. Arai will wrestle and perform in the concert on the 30th. Her SKE48 graduation will then happen on the 31st.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WINTER STORY” Results

December 14, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WINTER STORY”, 14/12/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall
223 Fans

1. Suzume defeated Uta Takami with the Ring A Bell (6:28).
2. Yuki Kamifuku & Haruna Neko defeated Raku & Chika Nanase when Neko pinned Nanase with the Nekodebreaker (8:17).
3. Rika Tatsumi & Moka Miyamoto defeated Arisu Endo & Ivy Steele when Miyamoto submitted Steele with the Rashomon (10:42).
4. Hyper Misao defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Hypami Returns (9:47).
5. Pom Harajuku defeated HIMAWARI with the Pom de Justice (7:32).
6. Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Kaya Toribami when Yamashita pinned Toribami with the Attitude Adjustment (12:45).
7. Miu Watanabe, Haru Kazashiro & Toga defeated Mizuki, Wakana Uehara & Shino Suzuki when Watanabe pinned Suzuki with the Tear Drop (13:24).

Miu Watanabe is winning the battle against Mizuki but is there something she can’t stop thinking about that will lose her the war? She showed her monstrous strength in the main event by giving Mizuki the Giant Swing on the ring apron. She later gave both Mizuki & Shino Suzuki a stacked Tear Drop over her shoulder. Toga & Haru Kazashiro were also able to show off how well they are becoming as a team. The three of them were the winners but Watanabe couldn’t help but ask them to assure everyone in Yokohama that she is a super cute princess. Backstage Watanabe said she wants today’s Giant Swing to go viral so many more people will watch the Princess Of Princess Title match on 4th January. Mizuki was suprised by the Giant Swing through the ropes. It was something she couldn’t predict. She called Watanabe a one woman Beauty & The Beast because she looks like a princess but has the shadow of a monster!

The clumsiness of Mahiro Kiryu actually helped her team win. She was knocked prone late in the match and Kaya Toribami tripped over her while she dodged Miyu Yamashita’s High Kick. Toribami bounced off the ropes and stumbled over Kiryu again right into Yamashita’s arms for the Attitude Adjustment that ended the match.

The all conquering Pom Harajuku returned to Tokyo Joshi Pro with the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title (that she dropped by accident during her ring entrance). She also wore homemade headwear to look like a sunflower because HIMAWARI was her opponent today. HIMAWARI didn’t get the joke. Harajuku won the match and knows Matcha is on her way to try and take the title back from her. Harajuku said the belt belongs to her and she won’t lose!

While Hyper Misao was away with an injury, she missed her chance to welcome Yoshiko Hasegawa to TJPW. So today she got to tell her how happy she is that out of all of the joshi wrestling promotions out there, Hasegawa chose to join TJPW. She gave her the microphone to speak but then attacked Hasegawa from behind and choked her with the microphone cord. Hasegawa tried her best to fight back but Misao kept finding tricks to counter her until she won the match. She was being genuine about welcoming Hasegawa to TJPW though. She encouraged her to enjoy a fun wrestling life as a member of the company.

Misao then talked about the current state of TJPW, believing the group’s power level is reaching MAX status with the recent additions to the roster. TJPW will be facing DDT in a 6-Man Tag Match at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2024” on 28th December and she thinks her team will definitely win. Suddenly Super Sasadango Machine made and appearance and entered the ring carrying a bag. He told Misao that DDT is filled with bad behavior but when you remove the hard shell there is a fluffiness to be found beneath it. He came here today to negotiate a peaceful settlement between DDT and TJPW. He brought with him a bag of luxury chocolate from Niigata for Misao. She can have it if the TJPW team cancels the match at Sumo Hall so no one will have to watch DDT tear them apart. While Misao was considering the offer, Rika Tatsumi got into the ring and choked Sasadango! Misao joined in the attack and the two of them told Sasadango that public bribery is a violation of the rules! They decline his offer and TJPW will beat DDT at Sumo Hall! They then walked off with the bag of chocolate.

When Sasadango recovered from the attack he got on the microphone and complained to Tetsuya Koda about the behavior of his wrestlers. Sasadango was humiliated and he will make Koda take responsibility for it. He suddenly attacked Koda and promised to humiliate TJPW at Sumo Hall! Tatsumi & Misao ran back down to chase Sasadango away and literally slap Koda back to life. They still kept the chocolate because it would have been rude not to accept it. Sasadango told reporters this is now a company-to-company issue between DDT and TJPW.

The first three teams entering the 2025 Max Heart Tournament were announced. They are Kyoraku Kyomei (Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao), Daisy Monkey (Suzume & Arisu Endo) and Pompaler (Pom Harajuku & Max The Impaler). Nine other teams will enter the tournament in January for a total of twelve teams taking part.

The show began with the draw for all of the singles matches taking place on 21st December. The ten matches will each have a 7 minute time limit. They are Moka Miyamoto Vs Ivy Steele, Shino Suzuki Vs Raku, Miyu Yamashita Vs Mizuki, Rika Tatsumi Vs Shoko Nakajima, Chika Nanase Vs Uta Takami, Maki Itoh Vs Toga, Mahiro Kiryu Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa, Yuki Kamifuku Vs Yuki Aino, Haruna Neko Vs Wakana Uehara and Hyper Misao Vs Haru Kazashiro.

3. Zara Zakher & Yuki Aino defeated Mizuki & Kaya Toribami when Zakher pinned Toribami with the Control Z (9:34).
4. Miu Watanabe, Raku, Suzume & Moka Miyamoto defeated Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh, Yuki Kamifuku & Yoshiko Hasegawa when Suzume pinned Hasegawa with the Ring A Bell (11:10).
5. Rika Tatsumi & Arisu Endo defeated Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao when Tatsumi submitted Misao with the White Dragon Sleeper (15:34).
6. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Final: Haru Kazashiro defeated Toga with the Fisherman Suplex (8:49).
7. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) defeated Shazza McKenzie with the Finally (11:01).
*V6 for Yuki Arai.

That’s successful defence number six for Yuki Arai. The closest Shazza McKenzie could get to beating her was with a Fisherman Suplex that Arai kicked out of. Arai took control from there and used the Full Nelson Buster to set up the match winning Finally. Arai used broken English to tell McKenzie she would like another match with her. But for now she needs a new challenger to continue her record breaking International Princess Title reign. Suzume answered the call and said she wants a match with the dazzling champion. Arai got excited because she hasn’t defended the belt against Suzume yet so she suggested they can have the match at Korakuen Hall on 4th January. That means it will happen exactly one year after she became champion in the same venue! Suzume later explained that pro wrestling is a universal language. For example she doesn’t speak English at all but was still able to wrestle in Seattle recently. If Tokyo Joshi Pro can reach out across the world then she wants to do that as the IP Champion.

The youngest entrant in this year’s New Generation Tournament has won the whole thing! Haru Kazashiro pulled off the upset in the final by defeating Toga. She had Toga scouted by using an Armbar to counter the Rock Bottom. Toga hit back with the Rolling Thunder but Kazashiro was determined not to lose. Both tried to use their finishers to no avail but Kazashiro broke the deadlock by hitting a Low Cross Body. From there she was able to pin Toga with the Fisherman Suplex and win the tournament!

After receiving her winner’s medal, Kazashiro was ready to pick her title shot of choice for being the tournament champion. She always admired Maki Itoh and wants nothing more than to challenge her for a belt so she asked Toga if they can team up to fight 121000000 for the Princess Tag Team Titles! Toga accepted the offer and shook her hand. 121000000 then entered the ring to endorse the challenge. Itoh warned Kazashiro not to fight her as a fan but to beat her as a rival. Hazashiro promised she will crush her! Toga then revealed if she had won the tournament she would have wanted to go after Miyu Yamashita’s championship so she is getting what she wants anyway. Yamashita said she likes the look in Toga’s eyes and decided they should have the title match on 1st December.

For the first time in seven months Hyper Misao was here to protect TJPW for all of the big children who follow it. Before her comeback match began she told the fans how difficult it was to return. She not only had a broken ankle but also a broken heart from having to stay away from the ring for so long. But she kept an eye on TJPW from a distance and what she saw made her want to come back no matter what. She was really happy to be in the ring with Shoko Nakajima and Rika Tatsumi again (and Arisu Endo is there too) so she thought the best way to begin with a fresh start was to shake her opponents’ hands fair and square. Of course that turned out to be a trick so Kyoraku Kyomei could get the jump on Tatsumi & Endo. However Tatsumi was able to get Misao in the White Dragon Sleeper at the end to make her give up. Misao is not going to be pessimistic about her comeback ending in a loss though. She is looking forward to fighting and winning again. Nakajima didn’t mind losing either because whenever Ultraman Leo is defeated, he trains like crazy to get stronger and returns to beat the enemy! She wants to win the Tag Titles so the team will improve to become Super Hyper Kyoraku Kyomei! Meanwhile Tatsumi & Endo are wondering when Misao will produce another “HYPE!” show?

Pom Harajuku had special celebratory sashes made for herself and Haruna Neko to celebrate the 6th anniversary of their wrestling debuts. She also took advantage of Mahiro Kiryu giving Neko the Spinebuster by hooking both of their legs and pinning them for a double three count victory.

TJPW’s three annual big arena shows will all take place at the renovated Ota Ward Gymnasium in 2025. “GRAND PRINCESS ’25” will be on 16th March, “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” will be on 21st July and “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI” will be on 20th September.

HiSPC 6th Anniversary, BASARA 1 Day Tournament, Akiyama Vs Naya

November 18, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 AUTUMN”, 22/11/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. 3 Way Match: Haruna Neko Vs Pom Harajuku Vs Mahiro Kiryu
2. Wakana Uehara, Kira Shummer & Chika Nanase Vs HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami
3. Mizuki & Kaya Toribami Vs Zara Zakher & Yuki Aino
4. Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh, Yuki Kamifuku & Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Miu Watanabe, Raku, Suzume & Moka Miyamoto
5. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Final: Toga Vs Haru Kazashiro
6. Rika Tatsumi & Arisu Endo Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
7. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Shazza McKenzie

The winner of the Next Generation Tournament will get a title match of their choice as the prize. Miu Watanabe is currently waiting to see who will emerge as her 4th January Princess Of Princess Title opponent. 121000000 are also currently without any contenders for the Princess Tag Team Titles in Japan. The timing of the final taking place beneath an International Princess Title main event is notable too. It could be a big day for Toga or Haru Kazashiro to win the tournament final and then reappear at the end of the show to call out one of the champions.

The other six wrestlers who competed in the tournament will be taking part in a 6-Woman Tag Match.

Both Haruna Neko and Pom Harajuku debuted in November 2018 so they are celebrating their anniversaries together in the same match. Mahiro Kiryu is from the same class as them (HiSPC) but didn’t debut until February 2019. The other two members from that class were YUMI (retired) and Himawari Unagi (now known as Sayaka Unagi).

DDT “GET ALIVE 2024”, 23/11/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Demus & Ilusion Vs To-y & Kazuma Sumi
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura Vs HARASHIMA, Yukio Naya & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. Akito 15th Anniversary Debut Special Single Match: Isami Kodaka Vs Akito
4. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Kazuki Hirata 37th Birthday Special 1 Vs 7 Handicap Match: Kazuki Hirata (c) Vs Yuki Ueno, Toru Owashi, Antonio Honda, Soma Takao, Yuki Iino, Diego & Yuki Ishida
5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul (c) Vs Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Takeshi Masada
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku
7. DDT Extreme Title – You’re Still A Cinderella As You Climb The Ladder To Adulthood Rules: Danshoku Dieno (c) Vs Yuni

The DDT Extreme Title match will periodically go into “Cinderella Time” where Danshoku Dieno will be instantly disqualified if he does any of his Danshoku moves on Yuni. When “Cinderella Time” is inactive, Dieno is allowed to wrestle like he normally does. The match must have a winner and cannot be called off as a No Contest.

The next SCHADENFREUDE International Vs DAMNATION T.A battle will now have the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles on the line.

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title is no longer part of the Dieno Vs Yuni match because Kazuki Hirata is now the latest champion. That means he will likely defend it in the 7-on-1 Handicap Match.

BASARA “BASARA 263 ~HIEN~”, 29/11/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 1A: Takato Nakano Vs Takumi Tsukamoto
2. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 1B: Isami Kodaka Vs Masato Kamino
3. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 2: Ryota Nakatsu Vs Winner Of Match 1A
4. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Round 2: FUMA Vs Winner Of Match 1B
5. Ryuichi Sekine, Takeru Inoue & Fuminori Abe Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Ikuto Hidaka & Itsuki Aoki
6. Next Challenger For The Union MAX Title 1-Day Tournament – Final: X Vs X

It looks like BASARA could not find room on the schedule this year to run their annual Chouten ~Itadaki~ tournament. So we have to do with a one day tournament to crown the No. 1 Contender for the Union MAX Title instead after a bunch of the roster all argued that they should get the next shot.

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2024”, 28/12/2024
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. O-MENZ Kumadori Debut Match: Kumadori Vs X
2. Haruto Sakuraba Debut Match: Haruto Sakuraba Vs X
3. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Yukio Naya
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes Vs Daisuke Sasaki

A mighty challenge awaits Yukio Naya in the heavyweight division. He thinks he is ready to fight Jun Akiyama one on one again! Their only previous singles match together was back in 2020 on a Bakuha Koshien show, which Akiyama won. Akiyama thinks Sumo Hall is the best place to host the rematch.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “MAHIRO KIRYU TRIUMPHANT RETURN ~TOKYO JOSHI SHINOYABO~” Results

November 3, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “MAHIRO KIRYU TRIUMPHANT RETURN ~TOKYO JOSHI SHINOYABO~”, 03/11/2024
Gunma G-Messe Main Hall C (Takasaki City)
262 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yoshiko Hasegawa defeated Uta Takami with the Muffler Hold (7:14).
2. Kaya Toribami & Toga defeated Suzume & Haruna Neko when Toribami pinned Neko with the Sento Choryu (8:47).
3. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Pom Harajuku and Arisu Endo when Tatsumi pinned Harajuku with the Sliding Hip (8:04).
4. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Round 1: Wakana Uehara defeated Chika Nanase with the Banana Pillow (8:23).
5. Maki Itoh & Kira Summer defeated Shoko Nakajima & HIMAWARI when Itoh submitted HIMAWARI with the Itoh Deluxe (11:07).
6. Mizuki, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Miu Watanabe, Raku & Shino Suzuki when Mizuki pinned Suzuki with the Cutie Special (12:09).
7. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto when Kiryu pinned Miyamoto with the Spinebuster (12:40).

Even in her hometown Mahiro Kiryu cannot help but take responsibility for everything that happens around her. She aplogised early in the match for her part in promoting the show to make Gunma a more appealing place to visit. Yuki Kamifuku then instructed her to bow to all four sides of the room. Kamifuku was also there to even the odds when Kiryu had to fight Miyu Yamashita. Kamifuku poked Yamashita in the eyes and took her out with the Famouser. It was all up to Kiryu from that point on and she was able to beat Moka Miyamoto with the Spinebuster.

Kiryu was happy to see so many people from Gunma come to see the show today because it is her first time wrestling here. When she first started her wrestling career she made so many people worry for her and today she got to prove to them she is doing well. Kamifuku praised her for working so hard and also thinking of ways to repay her hometown. The Toyo Mates then decided to apologize in the ring together to end the show. Kiryu is very sorry about today and she loves Gunma! Backstage Kamifuku said when she saw Kiryu from a distance today she looked like Shohei Ohtani. She likes to think Kiryu is a two-way player too by being a kind person as well as a pro wrestler, so she might start calling her “Shohei From Gunma” from now on.

Things are currently on track for Wakana Uehara to become a repeat winner of the Next Generation Tournament. She had to fight off Chika Nanase from using the Inari Torii to spin her into the Banana Pillow for the win. She’ll be facing Haru Kazashiro in the semi-finals and does not know what to expect in their first singles match against each other. One thing’s for sure is she thinks she definitely won’t lose. Nanase was disappointed because she thought she gave it her all but it wasn’t good enough. She’ll have to start from scratch so when she does her best the next time, she will win.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “MAHIRO KIRYU TRIUMPHANT RETURN ~TOKYO JOSHI SHINOYABO~”, 03/11/2024
Gunma G-Messe Main Hall C (Takasaki City)

1. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi Vs Pom Harajuku Vs Arisu Endo
2. Suzume & Haruna Neko Vs Kaya Toribami & Toga
3. Maki Itoh & Kira Summer Vs Shoko Nakajima & HIMAWARI

5. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Round 1D: Wakana Uehara Vs Chika Nanase
6. Miu Watanabe, Raku & Shino Suzuki Vs Mizuki, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
7. Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu

Gunma is Mahiro Kiryu’s territory so she gets the main event spot. She is also teaming with Yuki Kamifuku which means Toyo Mates are back together for the first time in a long while. The Karate Tag pair of Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto will be their opponents.

DDT/DEFY “DDT IN UTERO”, 09/11/2024
Washington Hall, Seattle, Washington, USA

1. Danshoku Dieno Vs Randy Myers
2. Gringo Loco Vs Yuni
3. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Artemis Spencer Vs Gurv Shira & Harv Shira
4. 3 Way Tag Match: Cody Chhun & Guillermo Rosas Vs Bryan Keith & Shota Vs Eddie Pearl & Ricky Gibson
5. DDT Universal Title – 3 Way Match: MAO (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita Vs X
6. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kohei Kinoshita

Seattle is where MAO will have his first defence of his latest DDT Universal Title reign. It’s going to be a 3 Way Match and Yamashita is one of the opponents, making it her first time she will be properly fighting for a DDT championship (other than the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title). The other opponent is a mystery for now.

One of the other new matches on the show is on the DEFY end of things. Cody Chhun & Guillermo Rosas are known together as C4 and they are the current DEFY Tag Team Champions. One of the other regular teams is Eddie Pearl & Ricky Gibson, aka Midnight Heat. The third team have previously been opponents against each other. Bryan Keith was somebody that Shota faced during one of his American excursions two years ago.

Marina Shafir will be on the show. If Kazuki Hirata isn’t her opponent then what are we doing here (I’m predicting Yoshihiko is in the 3 Way Match)?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LOOKING AROUND THE WORLD, ISN’T JAPAN AMAZING AFTER ALL!?”, 10/11/2024
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Rakuhan Vs Pom-chan Army: X Vs X

5. Rakuhan Vs Pom-chan Army: X & X Vs X & X
6. Rakuhan Vs Pom-chan Army: X & X Vs X & X

Around a dozen wrestlers from Tokyo Joshi Pro will be in Seattle for the DEFY weekend in November. Meanwhile everyone else left behind in Japan will be running a TJPW show built around a team challenge with a luxurious prize on the line. Raku and Pom Harajuku will each captain a team and will draft their members out of a pool of 16 wrestlers (14 from TJPW plus 2 guests). The teams will be drafted this Sunday before that day’s show begins.

DDT “GET ALIVE 2024 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 16/11/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Soma Takao & Kazuma Sumi
2. HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Keigo Nakamura Vs Akito, Yukio Naya & Diego

DDT “MAO TRIUMPHANT RETURN! DRAMATIC DREAM TAISEIKAN ~THE VILLAGE IS WHERE THE SCHOOL IS~ 2024”, 17/11/2024
Miyagi Osaki City Matsuyama B&G Marine Center

1. Makoto Oishi Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Jun Akiyama & HARASHIMA Vs Keigo Nakamura & Yuki Ishida
3. Special Tag Match: MAO & Yuki Ueno Vs Minoru Suzuki & Chris Brookes

Imagine coming home to wrestle in front of your friends, family and adoring fans but Minoru Suzuki is also there and he wants to kill you. That will keep MAO on his toes.

BJW “KING OF DEATHMATCH WORLD GP TOURNAMENT”, 31/12/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

The annual New Year’s Eve show that Big Japan, DDT and others have held together for almost two decades is not going ahead this year. Instead of doing a Shuffle Tag Tournament with DDT, Big Japan will instead hold their own one night international death match tournament. BJW’s president Eiji Tosaka wants to show the power of Japan’s death matches to the world especially since next year will be the company’s 30th Anniversary. He asked DDT for their blessing and they agreed to let him do this show at Korakuen Hall instead of the usual Shuffle Tag Tournament.

It’s a disappointing decision but also one I understand. DDT will be running Sumo Hall a few days before New Year’s Eve so that will be their priority for the end of 2024. Also the New Year’s Eve show itself has been dwindling in popularity and interest over the last few years, particularly coming out of the covid pandemic where the show can’t even be held close to midnight anymore. So while I will miss the Shuffle Tag Tournament, the truth is it’s time to try something different. Big Japan’s idea kind of reminds me of the annual “BLOOD X’MAS” shows that FREEDOMS and Jun Kasai both produce every Christmas. Can they reach the same heights though? If there are any DDT wrestlers entering the tournament (Shunma Katsumata would be the likely choice) I will post updates and the show results when they happen. If not then at least that’s less stuff for me to worry about on New Year’s Eve.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 AUTUMN” Results

October 19, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 AUTUMN”, 19/10/2024
Miyagi Yume Messe Miyagi West Building Hall
159 Fans

1. Moka Miyamoto defeated Chika Nanase with the Rashomon (6:44).
2. 3 Way Match: Mahiro Kiryu defeated Kaya Toribami and Haru Kazashiro when Kiryu pinned Kazashiro with the Spinebuster (8:01).
3. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Round 1: Kira Summer defeated Shino Suzuki with the Samoan Drop (6:14).
4. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Maki Itoh, Toga & Uta Takami when Aino pinned Takami with the Venus DDT (11:32).
5. Mizuki defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Cutie Special (9:54).
6. Rika Tatsumi & Suzume defeated Shoko Nakajima & Wakana Uehara when Suzume pinned Uehara with the Ring A Bell (13:51).
7. Miu Watanabe & Arisu Endo defeated Yuki Kamifuku & HIMAWARI when Watanabe pinned HIMAWARI with the Tear Drop (12:46).

Miu Watanabe celebrated her 25th birthday (it was also Sayuri Namba’s 31st birthday) by picking up the win with Arisu Endo in today’s main event. Since she is another year older she has noticed the wrestlers younger than her are getting stronger so she cannot afford to lose against them. She also enjoyed wrestling in the Sendai region again because it’s been a year since Tokyo Joshi Pro last held a show here. Endo said she wants to conquer Tohoku too!

Match #4 began with all of Love Triangle deciding to fall asleep in the ring instead of shaking their opponents’ hands. Maki Itoh knew what they were up to though and told Toga & Uta Takami to take a nap with her too. Pom Harajuku got up to attack Itoh but was Cradled into a nearfall instead. Itoh was then able to get everyone crowded up in the corner to do the World Cutest Knuckle Punch on Yuki Aino, Raku & Harajuku. Somehow Harajuku got her hands on a Date Masamune helmet and put it on to power herself up.

One of the semi-finals of the Next Generation Tournament is now set. Kira Summer won her opening round match by beating Shino Suzuki. She countered Suzuki’s Sleeper Hold by standing back up to reposition Suzuki into the Samoan Drop for the victory. Summer said it feels like a dream and she will carry Suzuki’s feelings along with her own for the rest of the tournament. She will be facing Toga in the next round. Suzuki is despondent over losing and doesn’t know what to do anymore. She works hard but now she is losing to her juniors. She thought she would start catching up to her peers but now it feels like she can’t even have the chance to do that anymore.

Mahiro Kiryu pretended to be the referee and body checked her two opponents before the 3 Way Match began. She then ordered Kaya Toribami and Haru Kazashiro to fight each other before attempting to roll them up in a bid to quickly win the match. She of course apologised for her behaviour when the plan didn’t work.
