10. Miyu Yamashita Vs Mizuki ended in a Time Limit Draw (7:00).
11. Miu Watanabe & Yuki Arai Vs Suzume & Wakana Uehara ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).

The holiday season has begun and Tokyo Joshi Pro had an early Christmas show to get everyone ready for next week’s year end party and Korakuen Hall the week after that. The matches here were only the appetizer and purposely had short time limits which resulted in a couple of draws in the latter half of the show. Suzume brought that up after the main event by telling Yuki Arai she knows neither of them were able to give it their all with just a short amount of time. Arai agreed and told Suzume they when they fight for the International Princess Title on 4th January they will leave the ring with no regrets.

Miu Watanabe also talked about the main event going by like a flash because it only lasted ten minutes. She also wanted Arai to call her a princess because that thing is still bothering her. Arai said Watanabe is a princess and that means she is one too. Watanabe was happy with the answer because Arai is not a liar. Suzume thanked Wakana Uehara for teaming with her as a last minute replacement for Arisu Endo. Uehara said the match made her even more excited for 4th January and she’ll do her best on the show no matter what match she gets there.

The TJPW debut of Matcha went off to a good start. She is here to get the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title back from Pom Harajuku and she pinned her in the preview tag match. She said she will use this momentum to get her championship back at Korakuen. Harajuku has started to panic over the result and doesn’t know what to do once the title match on 29th December comes round.

Hyper Misao congratulated Haru Kazashiro on winning the Next Generation Tournament and her upcoming Princess Tag Team Titles shot. However she was taken aback when Kazashiro told her she is going to stop looking up to her! Misao tried to changer her mind by giving her the spray can as a Christmas gift but Kazashiro turned it down because the hero she admires would never do something like that. Misao attacked her in anger to start the match, grabbed the spray and used it. However she missed Kazashiro and blinded the referee instead! Kazashiro hit Misao with the Low Cross Body but the referee was too blind to see the pin. That allowed Misao to turn the tables and pin Kazashiro with a Gedo Clutch in time for the ref’s vision to clear up and count to three.

The Inari Torii Aratame is a lifted version of Chika Nanase’s submission finisher. She used it to beat Uta Takami, who is definitely small enough to be given a move like that.

It was announced that “GO GIRL 5” will be one of two TJPW shows taking place in Kitazawa Town Hall on 1st March. That is the show that takes place in front of a woman-only audience.

Ittenyon Press Conference

December 17, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’25”, 04/01/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
2. Yuka Sakazaki & Moka Miyamoto Vs Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro
3. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Suzume
4. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Vs Masha Slamovich & Zara Zakher
5. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Mizuki

A press conference was held yesterday for the contract signings of two of the title matches happening in Korakuen Hall on 4th January. Miu Watanabe and Mizuki’s battle over the Princess Of Princess Title is centered around their argument over who is the princess and who is the monster? Mizuki hasn’t held the Princess Title since 2023 so she is carrying a lot of different feelings going into the match. She has always been a true princess since the day she was born. Watanabe can call herself a princess but she is also a monster. The feeling is mutual because Watanabe is now saying Mizuki is the monster, not her!

Watanabe let everyone know that when she signed the contract for her Princess Title Match against Miyu Yamashita earlier this year her hand was shaking with nerves. Today however she signed the contract with confidence which shows how much she has grown as the champion. She knows how creating buzz leads to more exposure so she wants this to be a match that will catch everyone’s attention, which is why she gave Mizuki the Giant Swing on the ring apron over the weekend. She always wanted to be a princess because they have strong hearts. A princess is not a supporting character, she is meant to be the main character. That’s why she is trying to become the strongest princess.

Mizuki also said it is reassuring to have Yuka Sakazaki at the show. She feels Sakazaki really wants to keep an eye on Tokyo Joshi Pro while working hard on her own. It encourages Mizuki to shine a light just as bright as Sakazaki and Watanabe. She also explained she originally called Watanabe a monster as a compliment to her abilities but now Watanabe really is acting like a scary monster like in Beauty & The Beast! Watanabe then argued she is not the Beast, she is Belle! By the time Mizuki started accusing her of “princess harrassment” their section of the press conference came to an end.

Suzume is the latest wrestler from the 1998 Class to challenge Yuki Arai for the International Princess Title. She thinks the defences Arai had against Arisu Endo and Moka Miyamoto were amazing matches that made her feel left out. So when she got to wrestle in Seattle last month she took in the entire experience to broaden her perspective. It reminded her there are people from all over the world who support TJPW and it makes her want to spread the love even further. The best way to do that is win the IP Title. Arai has had a fulfilling title reign but the one thing missing from it is she hasn’t gotten to wrestle outside of Japan yet. She feels that she cannot lose the title to Suzume, not when she has her SKE48 graduation coming up at the en of March.

They both think of each other as rivals. Suzume joked about Arai being her senpai because Arai originally got into wrestling before her. However Arai thinks Suzume is the senpai because her way of wrestling is very straightforward, which Arai is envious of. She’s an opponent that can get Arai really fired up to fight. Suzume has been cultivating the skills over time to fight against bigger opponents so she is not worried about having a size disadvantage. She’s grown physically and mentally since their last singles match from the Tokyo Princess Cup. Arai is confident she will earn another successful title defence in her record breaking reign but she knows she will have to be careful to get it done.

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.

TJPW Rush! Princess Vs Monster But Which Is Which? Arai Commits To Pro Wrestling

December 3, 2024

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

1. Ivy Steele Vs X

The British exchange student Ivy Steele makes her Tokyo Joshi Pro debut later this month. She is studying in Japan and training in the TJPW dojo while she is over there. She’s been wrestling in the UK since 2018 and it’s always been her dream to wrestle in Japan. So much so that she took part in TJPW’s trainee audition during the Autumn which is how she got to be part of the company now.

Yeah so Pom Harajuku has a championship now and I still don’t know what to make of it. She won the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title in Thailand a few days ago. I think she is going to be on this show so that means it will be her first TJPW appearance since winning the title.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW YEAR-END PARTY 2024”, 29/12/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. TJPW RUSH! Year End Special Red And White Team 5 Vs 5 Knockout Match: Shoko Nakajima, X, X, X & X Vs Mizuki, X, X, X & X
Other Participants: Suzume, Arisu Endo, Moka Miyamoto, Yoshiko Hasegawa, Haru Kazashiro, Toga, Shino Suzuki and Uta Takami
2. Queen Of Asia Title & VPW Women’s Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c/c) Vs Lei Ying Lee
3. I Hope There Will Be Lots Of Fun And Exciting Things Next Year! New Year’s Japanese Pro Wrestling! 20 Wrestler PRINCESS RUMBLE 2024: X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X

The Princess Rumble is the main event and will be the final TJPW match of 2024. Surely there is going to be a lot of double booking on this show because I cannot see Tetsuya Koda wanting to book over 30 people for this event for only a few minutes of work in the ring, even at this time of year.

A familiar TJPW match stipulation is getting a makeover for the holidays. A 5 Vs 5 Gauntlet Match will be held with Shoko Nakajima captaining the Red Team and Mizuki in charge of the White Team. Every match in the Gauntlet has a 5 minute time limit and can be won with a 2 Count Pinfall. If a match ends in a time limit draw then it will restart with 1 Count Sudden Death Rules with no time limit. The two captains will choose their teams through a lottery soon.

Yuki Arai will be on the show. Speaking of which…

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’25”, 04/01/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
2. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Suzume
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Mizuki

Actually first let’s talk about the 4th January main event. Miu Watanabe’s first run as the Princess Of Princess Champion has gone great. The best way to book a champion’s first reign is to feed them a bunch of previous champions to further establish them as a main eventer and that’s what was done here. There were also a few international challengers on the side which is a good way to build up a champion domestically as well. Watanabe has the second most title defences in a single reign and Mizuki is the only former champion still with the company who now stands in her way. Mizuki says by beating so many monsters, Watanabe has now become the monster everyone else needs to be. Watanabe doesn’t accept that logic. She is still the princess who defeats the monster, not the other way around.

Okay let’s get to the Yuki Arai news. Last week she announced her decision to graduate from SKE48. She will be leaving the idol group on 31st March next year. Today she put out another announcement, this time about her pro wrestling career. She ain’t leaving! While her SKE48 days are coming to an end, she has decided to fully commit as a pro wrestler and continue working with TJPW! She will continue to be managed by Zest, which just so happens to be SKE48’s talent agency. By the sounds of it, pro wrestling is going to be Arai’s full time career going forward next year.

It’s the sixth annual Ittenyon match between Kyoraku Kyomei! Ever since 2020 Shoko Nakajima and Hyper Misao have had a singles match against each other at Korakuen Hall on 4th January. Usually there is a wacky match stipulation involved and in the early years the loser would change their name and gimmick for a month. However ever since the Max Heart Tournament was created, Kyoraku Kyomei instead use the match to prepare themselves for the tournament. They have yet to win the tournament but everybody likes the tradition. Nakajima currently has a 4-2 record against Misao in the series. If you noticed the numbers don’t add up properly that’s because one year the both of them were declared winners instead of their match being called a draw.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW 11TH BIRTHDAY” Results

December 1, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW 11TH BIRTHDAY”, 01/12/2024
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX
333 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Moka Miyamoto defeated Kira Summer with the Rashomon (6:11).
2. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Kaya Toribami and Chika Nanase when Tatsumi pinned Nanase with the Twist Of Fate (7:31).
3. Hyper Misao & Haruna Neko defeated Mahiro Kiryu & HIMAWARI when Misao pinned HIMAWARI with the Hypami Returns (9:55).
4. Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara when Nakajima submitted Uehara with the Unmanned Local Train Hold (11:01).
5. Mizuki, Suzume, Arisu Endo & Yoshiko Hasegawa defeated Miu Watanabe, Raku, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami when Mizuki pinned Suzuki with the Cutie Special (12:54).
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) defeated Haru Kazashiro & Toga when Itoh submitted Kazashiro with the Itoh Deluxe (19:35).
*V2 for 121000000.

The Next Generation team of Haru Kazashiro & Toga faced up to the seniors they idolize the most for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s 11th Anniversary. They launched an attack where Toga hit Miyu Yamashita with the Elbow Butt while Kazashiro knocked down Maki Itoh with the Low Cross Body. Kazashira then gave Itoh the Fisherman Suplex but Yamashita made it over to break the pin in time. Toga took care of Yamashita with the Rock Bottom but Kazashiro couldn’t pull off a second Fisherman Suplex. Instead Itoh blocked her offence, knocked her down with the Stunner and made her submit to the Itoh Deluxe.

Itoh reminded Kazashiro about her making the title challenge last week. She said she knew back then than Kazashiro would show her something interesting in today’s match. But this can’t be the end, right? Kazashiro can still do more. She and Toga are welcome to challenge 121000000 again. This time Itoh dares them to try and break her middle finger! Yamashita also told Toga not to be satisfied until she can beat her. Everyone in the ring should all get stronger so they can have better matches against each other. 121000000 are now looking forward to the 4th January Korakuen Hall show. They are ready to defend the Princess Tag Team Titles against any team from around the world.

When Match #5 was over Mizuki called Miu Watanabe to get back into the ring. Mizuki talked to her about how much everyone in TJPW has grown since she last held the Princess Of Princess Title. She couldn’t help but feel disappointed seeing Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima and Rika Tatsumi all lose to Watanabe in title matches this year but it is also cool to see how bright Watanabe is shining as the champion. Watanabe is now the unbeatable monster and Mizuki thinks she is the only one left who can challenge her. Watanabe corrected Mizuki and said she is a princess, not a monster. They will fight for the title on 4th January to see who the true princess is!

Mizuki also threw in her support for Suzume as she gets ready for her International Princess Title match on 4th Janaury. She told her they will do their best to win the two championships together. Meanwhile Watanabe still took exception to being called a monster. She told reporters backstage that a princess is someone who beats monsters just like in a certain anime. Do no call her a monster under any circumstances! Watanabe beats monsters so that means she is a princess!

Rika Tatsumi told her opponents she is the God of 3 Way Matches. She ordered Kaya Toribami and Chika Nanase to fight each other and she would take on the winner. She then sat on the corner turnbuckle and yelled instructions at them until they caught her trying to pin one behind the other’s back. The 3 Way went on as normal and she ended up winning anyway.

At the start of the show TJPW introduced British wrestler Ivy Steele to the audience. Steele is a university student from Manchester, England who is currently studying in Japan as part of a foreign exchange. She already has experience wrestling in Britain under the name Fifi and it’s been her dream to wrestle in Japan. She is currently training in the TJPW dojo and will have her first match with the promotion on 14th December in Yokohama.

The sixth annual Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao Ittenyon match was announced for 4th January.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE MOUNTAIN TOP 2024” Results

November 16, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE MOUNTAIN TOP 2024”, 16/11/2024
Osaka Edion Arena #2
384 Fans

1. Yoshiko Hasegawa defeated Chika Nanase with the Muffler Hold (6:46).
2. 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Haruna Neko and Kaya Toribami when Nakajima pinned Neko with the Northern Lights Suplex (6:33).
3. Maki Itoh, Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Itoh submitted Harajuku with the Itoh Deluxe (10:16).
4. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Semi Final: Toga defeated Kira Summer with the Rock Bottom (7:24).
5. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Semi Final: Haru Kazashiro defeated Wakana Uehara with the Fisherman Suplex (8:58).
6. Shazza McKenzie & Moka Miyamoto defeated Rika Tatsumi & HIMAWARI when McKenzie pinned HIMAWARI with the Shaztastic Stunner (10:02).
7. Yuki Arai, Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Mizuki, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami when Arai submitted Suzuki with the Sasori Katame (13:51).
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) defeated Zara Zakher with the Tear Drop (15:38).
*V5 for Miu Watanabe.

After losing to Zara Zakher twice this year, Miu Watanabe finally got to get a win back and under important circumstances. With this fifth successful Princess Of Princess Title defence, Watanabe now has the second most defences in a single reign behind Miyu Yamashita’s 10 win streak from 2018/2019. Zakher relied on the same game plan she used to beat Watanabe previously, using a backflip to avoid the champ’s attack and countering with the RKO. However this time Watanabe was able to block the Control Z, use a Double Hammer strike to fend off Zakher’s Lariats and countered a Jumping Knee Strike with a Power Slam. With Zakher’s offence nullified, Watanabe used the Laser Beam followed by the Tear Drop to win the match.

Watanabe told the fans how happy she was to defend the title in Osaka. She called Zakher a scary opponent for beating her twice before but it was also really fun to wrestle somebody as talented as her. Backstage she said she wants to get closer to Yamashita’s record for most title defences. She was asked by the interviewer if she has any thoughts about the 4th January Korakuen Hall show. Watanabe hasn’t thought about it yet because she was so focused on today. She is aware that anyone could come out to challenge her for the title on that show. Whoever it will be, she won’t turn them down. Zakher thought the atmosphere wrestling in Osaka was great and different from Tokyo. She promised to get more experience and come back to Tokyo Joshi Pro with the goal of winning one of the championships. Any of them will make her happy because she wants to win gold.

We’re not getting a two-time winner for the Next Generation Tournament because Wakana Uehara is out after the semi-finals! Haru Kazashiro scored the upset of the tournament by fighting out of the Banana Pillow submission and using the Fisherman Suplex to pin Uehara. Kazashiro admits she was worried because Uehara is the strongest of the 23 year old wrestlers in TJPW and Kazashiro is not very good at believing in herself. When she did win the match her head was feeling all over the place and took a moment before she realised the crowd were cheering for her victory. Uehara is upset she couldn’t make it to the final on 22nd November especially since she knows some of her fans already bought tickets to the show expecting to see her in that match.

Toga will be meeting Kazashiro in the final after she defeated Kira Summer. The combination of the Rolling Thunder and Rock Bottom gave Toga the victory. She feels vindicated because last year she was eliminated in the semi-finals in the same venue. She thought she would face Uehara in the final so it would be her chance to avenge last year’s defeat. However she didn’t expect to see Kazashiro beat Wakana. Toga is still motivated none the less. Shinjuku FACE is where her debut match was so she is excited to have the final be held there. Summer feel frustrated because everything she has done up to now was for this tournament but the difference in experience between her and her seniors is still wide. She knows she will get there eventually, she just doesn’t have the experience yet.

The Up Up Girls performed their brand new song “SEED” at the start of the show.

DDT/TOKYO JOSHI PRO/DEFY “TRIANGLER DTD” Results

November 11, 2024

DDT/TOKYO JOSHI PRO/DEFY “TRIANGLER DTD”, 10/11/2024
Washington Hall, Seattle, Washington, USA
389 Fans

1. Vert Vixen, Yuki Kamifuku & Moka Miyamoto defeated Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Aino & Arisu Endo when Vixen pinned Endo with a Sit Down Power Bomb (8:38).
2. Bryan Keith defeated Shota with the Diamond Dust (7:59).
3. Maki Itoh & Zara Zakher defeated Amira & Danika Della Rouge when Itoh pinned Rouge with the I.S.D (8:41).
4. Daisuke Sasaki & Kohei Kinoshita Vs Danshoku Dieno & Randy Myers ended in a No Contest (9:32).
5. Miu Watanabe & Suzume defeated Mizuki & Wakana Uehara when Watanabe pinned Uehara with the Tear Drop (10:33).
6. DEFY Women’s Title: Marina Shafir (c) defeated Shoko Nakajima with the Mother’s Milk (14:08).
*V4 for Marina Shafir.
7. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA defeated Yuni with the Wagamama (12:14).
8. DDT Universal Title – 3 Way Match: Gringo Loco defeated Miyu Yamashita (c) and Nick Wayne when Loco pinned Yamashita with the Base Bomb (17:08).
*Miyu Yamashita fails in V1. Gringo Loco becomes the 16th DDT Universal Champion.
9. Special Tag Match: Judas Icarus & Travis Williams defeated MAO & Mike Bailey when Icarus pinned Bailey after the Sudden Silence (22:06).

The Seattle weekender came to an end with DDT, Tokyo Joshi Pro and DEFY all getting together for one big finale. The Moonlight Express were back together as a tag team after being opponents yesterday. Sadly for them their reunion was spoiled by Sinner & Saint. The DEFY team came out on top and think it won’t be the last time you’ll see them in DDT. Afterwards backstage MAO asked Mike Bailey when will he wrestle for DDT in Japan again because the last time he came back to the country it was for another company. Bailey doesn’t know but The Moonlight Express would like to team up in Japan one more time.

Easy come, easy go. Miyu Yamashita’s surprising reign as the DDT Universal Champion has already come to an end when her decision to compete in another 3 Way championship match this weekend blew up in her face. She was able to knock Nick Wayne out of the way with the Skull Kick but still had Gringo Loco to deal with. Loco gave her the Fire Thunder and pinned her with the Base Bomb to become the new Universal Champion! Loco said he is on top of the world and nobody can stop the wave he is riding on. Wayne hates that he lose but also called Yamashita the best joshi in the world and Loco the best luchador. He wants to come back to DDT and win the Universal Title. Yamashita was so shocked over the loss she didn’t give any post-match comments.

The teacher Konosuke Takeshita gave his student Yuni a big test today. Yuni had to fight him one on one to show how much he has grown since their last match together. Yuni gave it his best shot including doing a Dragonrana to Takeshita outside the ring. Takeshita ended up winning and told Yuni to go find a style of wrestling that only he can show to everyone else. When he finds it, the KO-D Openweight Title will be in his reach!

Shoko Nakajima put up a strong challenge for Marina Shafir on short notice but wasn’t able to win the DEFY Women’s Title from her. Shafir said Nakajima will never understand the sacrifices that were made for her to keep this title and she plans to retire undefeated as the champion. Nakajima calls Shafir a monster fighter and she hopes to get a rematch some day.

Miu Watanabe is happy she gets to leave Seattle with some happy memories. After being beaten by Zara Zakher yesterday, Watanabe was able to get a win today with Suzume on her side. Their opponents Mizuki & Wakana Uehara also had a fun time despite losing.

Match #4 was thrown out thanks to the lewd antics of Danshoku Dieno, Randy Myers and also Yoshihiko. Actually it wasn’t just them because Kohei Kinoshita joined in on their shenanigans too much to Daisuke Sasaki’s dismay. Sasaki wants to know why Kinoshita came all the way to Seattle to do even worse things than what he does in Japan? Sasaki will challenge them all to a 3-on-1 Handicap match if he has to get revenge that way!

At least Maki Itoh can say her weekend was all highs with no lows. She teamed up with Zakher and had their hands raised in victory. Zakher wants to continue the momentum when she travels to Japan next week. She plans to bring the Princess Of Princess Title back to America with her. Meanwhile Danika Della Rouge blamed Amira for losing the match and swears she will never team with her again.

It’s been around seven months since Shota went freelance and he admits he’s been struggling to break out. He lost to his friend Bryan Keith today after they weren’t on the same page as a team the day before. He hopes the ass kicking he took today will help motivate him from now on. Keith warned Shota not to go about making him his enemy. He also misses DDT and believes it is only a matter of time before he goes back there to hunt for gold.

Unusual trios were the name of the game for the opening match. Yuki Kamifuku didn’t know what to expect teaming up with Vert Vixen & Moka Miyamoto but they pulled out the win in the end. The other team however were in a bad mood for losing. Arisu Endo is frustrated she took the fall, Yuki Aino felt like she didn’t give it her all and Rika Tatsumi is mad her win rate in America is so bad!

November 10, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW BRIGHT EYES”, 09/11/2024
Washington Hall, Seattle, Washington, USA
405 Fans

2. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Wakana Uehara with the Famouser (7:19).
3. Rebel Kel defeated Moka Miyamoto with a Falcon Arrow (5:45).

6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) defeated Vert Vixen & Nicole Matthews when Yamashita pinned Matthews with the Skull Kick (24:05).
*V1 for 121000000.

A packed weekend in Seattle began with Tokyo Joshi Pro running their own show with a little help from DEFY. The main event was a familiar scenario for 121000000. They have travelled to America with their newly won Princess Tag Team Titles and do not want a repeat of their last reign that ended in America on their first defence. The odds were better in their favour this time because the challengers Vert Vixen & Nicole Matthews were not a finely tuned tag team like The Magical Sugar Rabbits were. Even with out of the ring brawling and a few mishaps along the way, Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh stayed on the same page, headbutting each other to fire themselves up before beating their opponents.

The champions celebrated with Yamashita thanking the fans while Itoh asked them who is the cutest in the world? Yamashita then invited the entire locker room down to the ring to close out the show with one big group get together. She also announced TJPW’s next US appearance will be in April. TJPW later confirmed the next USA show is at Las Vegas on 18th April for The Collective during Wrestlemania Week.

Backstage Vixen & Matthews blamed each other for losing and argued over cheating (Matthews wanted to cheat more, Vixen prefers to fight clean). Itoh said it would have been traumatic for her if they lost the titles in America again but she won so she’s already forgotten about the last time it happened. Yamashita told her it was because they believed in each other. She also reminded her the goal for this reign is to defend the belts 10 times or else 121000000 will disband. Yamashita also said if she wins the DDT Universal Title at the DDT show tonight she wants to give Itoh a title shot.

Newly signed under the WWE ID initiative, Zara Zakher sure is looking like the belle of the ball right now. An end to a good week has gone even better after she scored a pinfall over Miu Watanabe before their Princess Of Princess Title match back in Japan next week. Shoko Nakajima tried to hold off Zakher as best as she could but Yuki Aino proved to be a good counter for her. Aino gave Watanabe a Running Bulldog while Zakher took out Nakajima with a Spinebuster. She then backflipped past Watanabe and gave her an RKO before pinning her with the Control Z. Watanabe is wondering if she became too overwhelmed by the Seattle fans or if she has become weak. She promised not to lose the title to Zakher on 16th November.

Most of the undercard pitted TJPW against North America. Mizuki beat Liiza Hall in a close fought battle. The Casadora into a Double Stomp left Hall as a sitting duck for the proper Diving Foot Stomp to finish her off. Mizuki likes Hall’s fighting style and gets a happy vibe from her. That’s partly because it was Hall’s first DEFY match in over a year.

Moka Miyamoto lost to Rebel Kel. As much as Miyamoto was excited to wrestle in Seattle, Kel was too full of adrenaline to be stopped by Miyamoto’s Karate skills. The size difference played a part too. Kel was too tall for Miyamoto to use the Rashomon on so Kel powered out of it and pinned Miyamoto with a Falcon Arrow.

The recent success of Yuki Kamifuku is being recognized worldwide because the fans chanted “Queen Of Asia” at her while she fought Wakana Uehara. After winning the match Kamifuku wrapped Uehara’s long hair around her hand and led her away backstage just to add insult to injury. Kamifuku said she is overwhelmed that the fans knew about her wrestling exploits in Southeast Asia and hopes today’s match will inspire Uehara to try doing something in America.

Daisy Monkey defeated Rika Tatsumi & Amira to open up the show. Amira could have pinned Suzume with a Fisherman Suplex but Arisu Endo broke the pin. Daisy Monkey then outmaneuvered their opponents, leading them into a Falling Facecrusher and Mt. Tsuruga double spot. Suzume then pinned Amira with the Ring A Bell. They were happy with the support they got from fans and want to come back.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 AUTUMN” Results

October 27, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 AUTUMN”, 27/10/2024
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
350 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Arisu Endo & Toga defeated Kira Summer & Chika Nanase when Endo submitted Nanase with the Camel Clutch (9:20).
2. Haruna Neko Return Match: Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Haruna Neko, Suzume & Mahiro Kiryu when Aino pinned Neko with the Venus DDT (10:18).
3. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Round 1: Haru Kazashiro defeated Uta Takami with the Fisherman Suplex (6:49).
4. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Runa Okubo with two Famousers (8:15).
5. Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami defeated Shoko Nakajima & Yoshiko Hasegawa when Miyamoto submitted Hasegawa with the Rashomon (12:38).
6. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Rika Tatsumi & HIMAWARI when Yamashita pinned HIMAWARI with a Buzzsaw Kick (12:30).
7. Miu Watanabe & Wakana Uehara defeated Mizuki & Shino Suzuki when Watanabe pinned Suzuki with the Tear Drop. (11:59).

After the main event Miu Watanabe threw her support behind Wakana Uehara for the Next Generation Tournament. She’ll be cheering her on and encouraged Wakana to talk about it because she loves her enthusiasm. Uehara said she will definitely win the tournament for the second year in a row.

Today is the last time we’ll see Runa Okubo in a wrestling ring, at least for now. She is going on an indefinite hiatus to focus on her high school education so for her final match she got to face the person she most admires on the roster, Yuki Kamifuku. For the occasion Kamifuku used the Famouser twice to win the match before hugging Okubo afterwards. Okubo thanked everyone for taking care of her for the last year and seven months. Thnaks to pro wrestling she was able to meet so many wonderful people and she will love them always. Backstage Kamifuku said Okubo is at a sensitive point in her life because of her age and she wants her to live her life well. It’ll up to “that brat” Okubo to make the most of it. Okubo said she is sorry for her fans and her parents that she hasn’t shown her true potential yet. She wants to work hard and not make excuses.

The other two teenage girls on the roster faced each other in the Next Generation Tournament. Haru Kazashiro got the win over Uta Takami by hitting the Low Cross Body followed by the Fisherman Suplex. Kazashiro is said that Okubo is going away but knows it isn’t a goodbye so she wanted to show her how much she has grown. She is also glad to see how much Takami is having fun with wrestling every time they meet in the ring. Kazashiro wanted to win the match today not to crush Takami’s potential but to expand it even more. Takami admitted she went into the match with fake confidence to convince herself that she would win. She realised during the match that it was a bad idea because whenever she senses genuine intensity it feels different.

Haruna Neko is finally back after spending so long recovering from a torn ACL and torn meniscus in her left knee. The Love Triangle celebrated her return by all wearing cat ears before the match began. The ring rust still needs to be shaken off because Neko dropped the fall in her first match back, losing when Yuki Aino dodged the Nekodebreaker and pinned her with the Venus DDT. Aino had kind words to say about Neko’s return and believe she found a way to still get stronger during her recovery. Also according to Nao Kakuta online she was at the show today to see Neko’s return match.

The teams for the Rakuhan Vs Pom-chan Army team challenged on 10th November were picked before today’s show began. The Rakuhan consists of captain Raku, HIMAWARI, Ryo Mizunami, Ram Kaichow, Haru Kazashiro, Yuki Arai, Shino Suzuki and Chika Nanase. The Pom-chan Army is captain Pom Harajuku, Kaya Toribami, Mahiro Kiryu, Yoshiko Hasegawa, Uta Takami, Haruna Neko, Kira Summer and Toga. The winning team will receive 10kg of broiled eel as their prize because the show is now being sponsored by the Yamada Suisan seafood company.

Hyper Misao announced her return match from injury will take place on 22nd November. She has been out of action since April with a fractured ankle she suffered at the “GCW VS TJPW” show in America.

There will be a weekend of shows in January where TJPW will be at Mizuki and Yuki Aino’s hometowns. Mizuki’s show in Kobe is on 11th January and Aino’s show in Okayama is on the 12th.

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.
