2. Nao Kikuta & Mirai Maiumi defeated Hyper Misao & Moka Miyamoto when Kikuta pinned Miyamoto with the Shiden Kai (9:15).
3. Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Haruna Neko & Suzume when Saint-Michel pinned Suzume with the Tarte Tatin (7:54).

5. Shoko Nakajima, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Pom Harajuku when Aino pinned Harajuku with the Venus DDT (15:39).
6. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).

The Magical Sugar Rabbits Vs Daydream went the distance. Rika Tatsumi had Mizuki in the White Dragon Sleeper until Yuka Sakazaki broke it up. Sakazaki then prevented Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe from giving Mizuki the Daydream Eternity. Tatsumi fought off the Sugar Rabbits by herself but when she climbed the top turnbuckle, Mizuki threw her off with an Avalanche Cutie Special. Time rang out and the bell rang before Mizuki could go for the pin. After the match Sakazaki wanted to speak but Tatsumi took the microphone from her. She couldn’t win today but she will definitely win on 4th January! Tatsumi wants to become Princess Of Princess Champion and make Tokyo Joshi Pro as famous as The Beatles! There’s not much time left until the Korakuen Hall show so Sakazaki feels she now has to rush towards 4th January. Mizuki threw her support behind Sakazaki and said she believes in her.

After Match #4, Maki Itoh demanded Tetsuya Koda to book her versus Miyu Yamashita in a singles match on 4th January. Koda informed her that they were randomly drawn together earlier to have a singles match in Nagoya on 19th December. Itoh still wants the match to happen in Korakuen because this week is her 4th anniversary of her pro wrestling debut and it was against Yamashita. They also headlined Korakuen two years ago so the latest rematch must happen in the same venue. Yamashita’s answer was immediately cut off by Itoh who said she will beat her in Korakuen! Yamashita made mention afterwards that there would be little point in having the Korakuen match if she beats Itoh in Nagoya.

Mei Saint-Michel was excited to wrestle a cat and asked Sakisama if they could take Haruna Neko back to their mansion. Sakisama took a close look at Neko and got her face scratched. Saint-Michel then stepping in to protect Neko from Sakisama. Neko then scratched Saint-Michel in the face, ending their brief friendship. Later in the match, Suzume was taken out when she slipped on the tray trap. Saint-Michel ended up using an assisted Shiranui from Sakisama to pin Neko. Sakisama scolded her after the match and said she doesn’t need a pet. She still has more trials to go through in order to become a great lady. The next one will be at Korakuen Hall so today was their last appearance in 2020.

Trainee Arisu Endo will have her debut match on 4th January. She does not know who her opponent is yet but she will do her best no matter what.


Onita Vs Kuro-chan Gets Some Helpers

5. Current Explosion Death Match: Atsushi Onita (w/ Sanshiro Takagi, Chris Brookes & Maki Itoh) Vs Kuro-chan (w/ Shinya Aoki, Super Sasadango Machine & Yuki Kamifuku)

Kuro-chan reluctantly accepts Atsushi Onita’s challenge for a Current Explosion Death Match but with some added conditions. The two met up at Tokyo Solamachi yesterday with Kuro-chan wanting to turn down the match. His excuse is he is just an amateur. Onita, armed with a current blast bat told Kuro-chan that this year’s dirt must be cleaned. He then forced Kuro-chan to sign the contract for the match. Onita then blew up a Christmas tree with a picture of Kuro-chan attached to it with the bat as an experiment. It was revealed later that the explosion level for the actual match will be triple the strength.

Onita said the match must happen because hundreds of thousands of fans will be watching. Kuro-chan wouldn’t betray them by no-showing, right? Kuro-chan agreed and requested he should bring some pro wrestlers to the match to help him. Sanshiro Takagi agreed and told Onita he should have some helpers too. Takagi immediately chose himself, Chris Brookes and Maki Itoh to be in Onita’s corner. Kuro-chan wanted to pick Jun Akiyama but he did not have his contact information. He thought about finding people who have grudges with Onita but ended up staying within the DDT stratosphere. In the end his helpers are Shinya Aoki, Super Sasadango Machine and Yuki Kamifuku.

Itoh Headbutted her in response. She used a Headbutt again to block Kakuta’s kick. Pom Harajuku went for her finisher but Kakuta avoided it. Shoko Nakajima hit Harajuku with the 619 and Kakuta did the Shiden Kai to get the pin.

Because she is newly married, Hyper Misao successfully argued to the referee that the bouquet she is carrying around is part of her wrestling attire. So she is now permitted use it in her matches. She held the bouquet in her hand as she beat Raku.

1. Nao Kakuta defeated Haruna Neko with the Shiden Kai (6:10).
2. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Miyu Yamashita & Marika Kobashi when Nakajima pinned Kobashi with the Northern Lights Suplex (8:20).

5. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Mzuki & Raku when Tatsumi pinned Raku with the Twist Of Fate (13:08).

Rika Tatsumi is taking her time when it comes to Yuka Sakazaki. She has a lot on her mind about their history together heading into 4th January so she will talk about it little by little. When she heard Sakazaki at “WRESTLE PRINCESS” say she will always give it her all because she doesn’t want to lose, that connected with Tatsumi. She’s happy to know they share the same mindset. Tatsumi normally doesn’t like working out and practicing hard but she will begin secret dragon training to prepare for the Ittenyon Princess Of Princess Title match.

Mahiro Kiryu got revenge on Mirai Maiumi for eliminating her in the International Princess Title tournament 1st Round by pinning her in their tag match. Kiryu was frustrated by the loss while still being happy to see Yuki Kamifuku win the vacant title. Now that she won today, Kiryu wants to face Kamifuku for the championship! Kamifuku understands where Kiryu is coming from but she isn’t sure Kiryu is stylish enough to be the same kind of champion she is. Still, she accepted the challenge and asked for it to be an important match they will both improve from. She also decided that the match should happen in Narimasu because that was where they were supposed to team up and fight for a Princess Tag Team Titles shot back in October.

Early in Match #3, Sena Shiori needed to tag out. Maki Itoh wanted to tag in but Shiori ignored her to tag Hikari Noa instead. After those two tagged in back and forth, Itoh got fed up and began attacking Noa and they fought each other on the floor. They eventually got along again when they realised Shiori was left to fight The Bakuretsu Sisters and Moka Miyamoto on her own.

Hyper Misao entered the ring wearing a veil and carrying a bouquet while “Happy Summer Wedding” was playing instead of her normal music. Everyone heard that on Friday she got engaged. Today she announced that on 22nd November she and Takamasa Utashiro got married! Now that she is a wife, Misao wants to repent for her past mistakes and spread happiness to other people. So she will give her bouquet to somebody else she wants to be happy. Marika Kobashi is still a little young so Misao chose Miyu Yamashita. She handed her the bouquet and then it suddenly sprayed water into Yamashita’s face. It was a trap! Yamashita quickly recovered and gave Misao a Soccer Kick. Misao’s tag partner Shoko Nakajima declared their plan a failure and the match went on as normal.

The Shiden Kai used by Nao Kakuta is a Spinning Stunner.

4d. Rika Tatsumi eliminated Shoko Nakajima with the Missile Hips (11:27).
5. Hyper Misao Retirement Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Hyper Misao with the Missile Hips (8:53).

Hyper Misao shocked everyone before the main event by announcing it was going to be her retirement match! Instead of wrestling Super Sasadango Machine as planned, they instead set up “The Yamelorette” to determine Misao’s final opponent. The participants each tried to impress Misao because she wanted to face against somebody she always respected. Miyu Yamashita gave Misao some delicious mentaiko, Shoko Nakajima gave Misao a Mecha Godzilla figure, Miu Watanabe gave Misao a portrait she drew of her, Rika Tatsumi slapped Misao out of anger, The Bakuretsu Sisters sang a song about Misao and finally Sasadango gave advice to Misao about retirement because he retired once before. Everyone then had to say a haiku about Misao and after that she made her decision. She wanted to wrestle her retirement match against Tatsumi and she handed her a piece of green streamer tape.

Tatsumi went on to beat Misao with the Missile Hips. They gave each other a fist bump after the match. Misao then explained what was going on. She said she had thought about her retirement since last year and decided to retire in 2020 after five years as a wrestler. She debuted at 25 years old with no athletic experience and had an injured ACL that she kept secret for a year. She felt she wasn’t fit for pro wrestling but she still liked it and enjoyed being in Tokyo Joshi Pro. Misao thanked Sasadango for helping her set up today’s project but wait, she isn’t done yet! There is something Misao still has to do and that is get married!

Suddenly, Misao invited Takamasa Utashiro from the DDT press team (and previously from Shukan Puroresu magazine) to enter the ring. Turns out they’ve been in a relationship for two years. He had previously wanted to propose to her but waited until the time was right. Since Misao was going to retire today, now would be the time to propose, right? Not so fast! Misao wants to accept the proposal but doesn’t want to quit pro wrestling for it. She asked Utashiro if he would still marry her just the way she is, as Hyper Misao the pro wrestler. Sasadango protested and said this was against totally against “The Yamelorette” rules and would be punished with death. Utashiro knocked down Sasadango and told Misao that the DDT website is already reporting on their engagement! Sasadango congratulated the couple and said he would retweet the message. Utashiro then gave a proper marriage proposal to Misao in the ring. Misao said yes! She apologised to everyone else for a crazy hour where she retired, unretired and got engaged. She promised she will continue to protect love and peace in TJPW, this time as a married wrestler!

Tatsumi had a busy day. Not only was she in Misao’s “retirement” match she also won the 5 Way Survival bout against four other major players in TJPW. Maki Itoh was the first elimination. Everyone else pinned her after she missed the Flying Big Head. Yuka Sakazaki & Shoko Nakajima used their Miraclians teamwork to eliminated Miyu Yamashita. Tatsumi then beat the numbers game to be the last woman standing. Tatsumi called for Sakazaki’s attention after the match. She talked about how both of them became trainees together and before Tatsumi even knew it, Sakazaki was winning championships. Sakazaki, Yamashita and Nakajima got to wrestle abroad and Itoh has a big fanbase overseas too. Those are the names that always get big matches and today they all lost to Tatsumi! She challenged Sakazaki for the Princess Of Princess Title. Sakazaki accepted the challenge and spoke about all the twists and turns they went through together. Normally Shin-Kiba 1st RING would be the most suitable venue due to their history together but she has a better time and place to do the match. They’re going to do it at Korakuen Hall on 4th January!

The newest member of NEO Biishiki-gun was going to be revealed today. Sakisama came out accompanied by the returning Martha. But Martha wasn’t her tag partner. Instead it is a new maid. Sakisama said that one day she was walking in the woods while playing a flute. Her music attracted this little girl and she became immediately attached to Sakisama. So she decided to bring the girl into NEO Biishiki-gun and have Martha train her to become a first class maid. The maid introduced herself as Mei Saint-Michel. She quickly insulted Suzume & Sena Shiori so you can see why Sakisama likes her. Saint-Michel made Shiori submit to an Arm Clutch Crab Hold that is now named after herself. Pleased with the result, Sakisama said she and Saint-Michel will return on 6th December. They’ll be busy all November picking chestnuts.

*Yuki Kamifuku becomes the 5th International Princess Champion!
9. Princess Tag Team Titles: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe (c) when Aino pinned Watanabe with the UBV (17:01).
*Daydream fails in V5. The Bakuretsu Sisters become the 6th Princess Tag Team Champions!
10. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) defeated Mizuki with the Magical Girl Niwatori Yaro (25:37).
*V4 for Yuka Sakazaki.

In the fated battle between The Magical Sugar Rabbits, it was Yuka Sakazaki who came out on top! Mizuki’s new Whirling Candy move wasn’t enough to win her the Princess Of Princess Title. Instead it was Sakazaki’s ultra move, the Magical Girl Niwatori Yaro that ensured she held onto the championship. With tears in their eyes, both wrestlers hugged each other after the match before the belt was handed over to Sakazaki. It is a clear sign that they are still close and their team will continue. A rare sight in pro wrestling.

Sakazaki said there was so much love coming from the fans who came to support Tokyo Joshi Pro today. She will give it her all because she loves it and is determined not to lose. She was so focused on her match today that she couldn’t watch the other matches. But when the other wrestlers would come backstage from the ring, she could see their faces sparkling with happiness. The entire roster was brought into the ring to celebrate. Sakazaki said the TJPW roster is changing but she hopes everyone who gathers here will have fun. She looks forward to working with them for many years to come! Mizuki was still crying and told Sakazaki she wanted to go eat hamburger steak. Everyone cheered “Happy Happy” and soap bubbles fell down around them. They then lined up on the stage and thanked everyone for coming today.

Daydream’s year long reign as the Princess Tag Team Champions has come to an end. The Bakuretsu Sisters finally lay claim to the belts on their fourth attempt together. Yuki Aino saved Nodoka Tenma from the Daydream Eternity. From there Tenma gave Rika Tatsumi the Killswitch to get rid of her. Miu Watanabe had the power to keep fighting until Aino put her away with the UBV. Tatsumi said backstage she feels empty without having the white belts anymore. But she also advised Watanabe to stay calm and take time to think about the defeat because Daydream is not finished yet. For the Sisters, they finally climbed the mountain and couldn’t do it without each other. The Bakuretsu Era begins and they want to defend the titles as many times they want!

The vacant International Princess Title now has a champion again. It’s Yuki Kamifuku and it is well deserved too! In the final of the tournament, she faced off against Hikari Noa. Already tired from wrestling earlier, Kamifuku and Noa left nothing to chance. A Double Chop followed by a Dropkick gave Kamifuku an opening to climb the top rope. She hit the Diving Fame Asser to win her first championship! There isn’t a wrestler out there who she is modelling herself after. She wants fans to think she’s cool by being herself. Her goal is to make the championship a symbol for cool, happy, fun girls. She speaks English so she can spread the word around the world that Tokyo Joshi wrestlers are such pretty Japanese people.

Aja Kong and Sareee were both welcomed back for another visit to TJPW. Kong had Maki Itoh waiting for her while Saree was eager to get into exchanges with Miyu Yamashita. The finish involved the two TJPW regulars. Sareee cut Yamashita off giving Itoh chances to use Headbutts. That lead went away after a High Kick and the Attitude Adjustment. Yamashita then ended the match with the Crash Rabbit Heat. Kong said she was happy to return here and is grateful the TJPW fanbase likes her. She told Sareee to “remove her limiter” when she got in the ring with Yamashita because she wanted to see Yamashita do the same. Kong is amazed by her kicking accuracy. She would like to come back next year. Itoh was annoyed that Sareee couldn’t crush Kong and come save her from getting beat. They still get along though because they’re almost the same age and probably would have been in the same grade together if they went to the same school. Sareee would like to wrestle Yamashita again but she also wants to fight Itoh.

A button was brought down to the ring for the Hyper Misao Vs Saki Akai match. Whenever somebody pressed the button, the rules for the match would change into a random stipulation. Before the match began she told the story of when she discovered pro wrestling by going to a DDT Street Wrestling show in 2014. She saw Akai taking part and was inspired by watching her fighting against men, completely turning standard values upside down. So today Misao came up with this match to flip Akai’s values upside down too. Daisuke Kiso pressed the button to start the match. The first rule was the match could not be won with kicking moves. Akai had already kicked Misao in the face when the rule came up so she wasn’t allowed to pin her afterwards. Akai pressed the button and the next rule was pins would not be counted unless the wrestlers spun in circles over a standing baseball bat five times. This left both of them dizzy after several series of spins and pin attempts. The next rule was Falls Count Anywhere as long as they ate from a bag of chocolate. Misao distracted the referee and emptied her chocolate into Akai’s bag. But Akai pressed the button and got a rule that allowed helpers to come down and get involved. Yukio Sakaguchi entered the ring to help Akai! Misao waited for her helper and got Sanshiro Takagi! It went wrong for both sides because Takagi accidentally Clotheslined Misao and Sakaguchi accidentally hit Akai with a Knee Kick. The men focused on fighting each other while the women pressed the button for the last rule. Last Woman Standing! Misao reversed the Quetzalcoatl into the Vanitas but missed the I Am A Hero. The Hyper Gotham Crash was also stopped and Misao was weakened with the Rookie Award. Seeing her chance to win, Akai hit the Quetzalcoatl and Misao couldn’t answer the 10 count, ending the match with a knockout.

When Yuna Manase asked Raku for a Handshake at the start of their match, Raku pretended to fall asleep. Manase complained to Yukinori Matsui but he fell asleep too. She stomped on him to wake him up. Raku took the match seriously by kicking out of the Suzuki Dynamic but she was immediately pinned with a Short Range Lariat afterward. Backstage Manase said the appeal of TJPW is that the matches are bright and fun. She hopes Raku get strong enough to chase after a title soon. Raku described Manase like an older sister who used to live with her but then moved out to go live in Tokyo.

Kamifuku’s path to win the International Princess Title begun today with a major upset over Shoko Nakajima. While Nakajima still wants to challenge for the IP Title, she realises after losing to her kohai that she still has to grow in strength.

Noa had a challenging victory over Mirai Maiumi in her semi-final. Maiumi had plenty of submissions to counter Noa’s Suplexes so Noa had to switch to using the Super Kick. That move weakened Maiumi enough for Noa to pin her with a bridging Blizzard Suplex. Maiumi regrets losing but said this is only the beginning of a new landscape that she will create.

Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Marika Kobashi & Haruna Neko but the result was so close to being the opposite. Neko had Kiryu beat with the Codebreaker but Harajuku broke the count. Kobashi got rid of her and Neko went for another Codebreaker. This time Kiryu caught her and hit a Spinebuster to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

The opening match was Mei Suruga’s TJPW debut. She teamed with the rookie Moka Miyamoto in a losing effort to Suzume & Sena Shiori. For the winners it was a big confidence boost to win inside a big venue. Suruga hopes she picked up some new fans and they will come watch ChocoPro or Gatoh Move.

A new trainee named Arisu Endo introduced herself. She comes from Cheer♥1, the same idol group that produced Reika Saiki. She promised to do her best to debut as soon as possible.

Freelancer Nao Kakuta will regularly appear in Tokyo Joshi beginning 14th November. She told the fans she would like to become someone who can liven up the TJPW ring. She wanted to come here because everyone is cute and have their own clear characters. She sees how much everyone in TJPW loves pro wrestling and it makes her want to get involved.

Four dates at Korakuen Hall in 2021 were announced. The shows will take place on 4th January, 11th February, 17th April and 4th May. “WRESTLE PRINCESS II” will also be held at Ota Ward Gymnasium on 9th October, 2021.

Sakisama returns for a one-off appearance on 14th November. Hyper Misao will face Super Sasadango Machine on 20th November.

Kendo Kashin was spotted inside the venue during the show. He threatened to crash the show during the week looking for Takagi. Presumably he wants to challenge him for the DDT Extreme Title.

Kong has had several confrontations with Itoh in the pas but Itoh said her only focus is to beat Yamashita. Sareee was on the 4th January show then signed with WWE a month later. She’s been unable to leave Japan because of the Coronavirus so she got permission to continue wrestling in her home country until she is safely able to report to the WWE Performance Centre. In fact her company affiliation in this match is WWE Count Down. This is to show she is not yet fully a part of WWE but she is not freelance either.

Mizuki has named her new Spinning Cross Body move the Whirling Candy.

Looks like the card is mostly complete. Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh have a mystery partner tag match to prepare for. Yamashita had a recent interview where she said she would like to wrestle more joshi legends, naming Meiko Satomura and Aja Kong as examples. Yamashita has her history with Satomura and Itoh has had a go with Kong before so those two are good predictions. But what if the mysteries aren’t women? Itoh teams with Chris Brookes a lot and let’s face it, him showing up to wrestle on a joshi show shouldn’t surprise anyone at this point. In that case then Yamashita can team with Antonio Honda again. It will be just a little over a year since their match with Kenny Omega & Riho so a reunion can be in order. Those are the two directions I could think of based on the past of both women.

Raku is still searching for her first singles win. Can she get it by beating the returning Yuna Manase?

Mei Suruga from Gatoh Move makes her Tokyo Joshi Pro debut. She’s been on DDT shows before but her only TJPW related match was against NEO Biishiki-gun in 2018.
