2. Yuki Aino defeated Runa Okubo with the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire (5:04).

4. Raku, Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Moka Miyamoto, Wakana Uehara & Toga when Suzume pinned Toga with the Ring A Bell (10:33).
5. Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Miu Watanabe & Shino Suzuki when Sakisama pinned Suzuki with the Academy Award (12:34).
6. Mizuki, Rika Tatsumi, Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta defeated Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh, Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Noa pinned Kiryu with the Blizzard Suplex (19:41).

“WRESTLE PRINCESS IV” is on the minds of everybody in Tokyo Joshi Pro as the big show is approaching closer. A mixture of wrestlers preparing for the event faced off in today’s main event, combining a few of the championship matchups. Free WiFi was the reason for their team winning against the Toyo Mates. They gave Mahiro Kiryu the 5G and would have won then if it wasn’t for Maki Itoh breaking the pin. Hikari Noa kept her nerve and pinned Kiryu with the Blizzard Suplex for the finish.

Mizuki told the audience afterwards nobody here wants to lose. Rika Tatsumi agreed and hoped Max The Impaler was watching on Wrestle Universe. Mizuki later admitted she was disappointed with her performance in the match because she cannot relax when she’s against Miyu Yamashita and her kick heavy offence. Nao Kakuta shared her frustration backstage, she believes she was the most useless person on her team today even though the team won. Noa assured her that their “curse” will end at Tama Mirai Messe. When Kakuta heard that she said she is ready to throw away her nickname of “Uncrowned Queen”. Over in the Toyo Mates camp Yuki Kamifuku said just trying hard is not enough these days. It reminds her of an audition she once took for a fashion show. The fashion designer rejected her because she lacked an overwhelming aura. She figured out she was missing something like a championship belt to display her power. She now wants to win the Princess Tag Team Titles with Kiryu to make that designer regret ever turning her down! Kiryu gained motivation when she heard that story.

Sakisama told the audience the next time they will see her and Mei Saint-Michel in the ring will be along with Yukio Saint Laurent & Martha at “WRESTLE PRINCESS IV”. She didn’t have any much of an opinion on Shino Suzuki. She did notice a fiery look in her eyes but she’ll probably forget it by tomorrow. Saint-Michel thinks “the pink muscular one” Miu Watanabe is so cool. Sakisama told her NEO Biishiki-gun doesn’t need a person like Watanabe in the group nowadays.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~NAGOYA PERFORMANCE~” Results

September 18, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~NAGOYA PERFORMANCE~”, 18/09/2023
Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall
681 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Suzume defeated Shino Suzuki with the Ring A Bell (6:56).
2. Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro defeated Kaya Toribami & Runa Okubo when Endo submitted Okubo with the Camel Clutch (8:50).
3. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & HIMAWARI defeated Hyper Misao, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Tatsumi submitted Harajuku with the Dragon Sleeper (11:08). (Special Referee: Shiori Aoki)
4. Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Toga defeated Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Wakana Uehara when Kamifuku pinned Uehara with the Famouser (12:25).
5. Mizuki & Shoko Nakajima defeated Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh when Mizuki pinned Yamashita with the Aquamarine (17:35).
6. Saki Akai & Yuki Arai defeated Yuki Aino & Moka Miyamoto when Akai pinned Miyamoto after the Double Rookie Award (16:10).

For the final time Reiwa AA Cannon teamed up together but today will not be the last time Saki Akai & Yuki Arai will be in the same ring together. After they won their last match as a tag team in the main event, Akai said she looked after Arai as if she was her little sister but now is the time for Arai to step forward on her own and lead Tokyo Joshi Pro into the future. Arai said she loved the time spent with Akai and it went by in a daze. She now has one last selfish request, she wants a singles match with Akai before her retirement! It will be the first, last and only time Akai and Arai will face each other one on one. Akai approved of Arai’s fearlessness in asking her and promised it will happen the next time she shows up in TJPW. It was later confirmed the match will take place at Korakuen Hall on 27th October.

In a preview of the “WRESTLE PRINCESS IV” main event, Mizuki scored a direct pinfall over Miyu Yamashita by avoiding the Skull Kick and using the Aquamarine to roll her into a three count. She isn’t looking forward to wrestling her in further skirmishes until the big show but is confident she can beat her every step of the way.

Another “WRESTLE PRINCESS IV” preview was a 6-Woman Tag match featuring Toyo Mates and Free WiFi against each other. Yuki Kamifuku won the match for her team but got into a small fight with Nao Kakuta afterwards. It led to Kamifuku making a weird promise to not use WiFi until she beats Kakuta. If that means she has to pay for giga internet in the meantime then so be it. Mahiro Kiryu used that point to remind fans to be careful of suspicious WiFi otherwise your personal information could be at risk.

As part of today’s SKE48 performance, Shiori Aoki was invited back to officiate a match again. It was her second time as a wrestling referee and she successfully detected Hyper Misao hiding several foreign objects hidden in her outfit. Misao got her revenge when she redirected Rika Tatsumi into choking Aoki unconscious in the corner. Tatsumi revived her and went to pin Pom Harajuku with a Hip Attack. Aoki showed she was still in good condition by doing a cartwheel before counting the pin. The delay meant she couldn’t count to three in time so Tatsumi switched Harajuku over into the Dragon Sleeper so she could win by submission. Aoki said she would like to be the referee again and was given advice from Daisuke Kiso before today’s match. She enjoyed the challenge of having more wrestlers to keep an eye on this time.

Miu Watanabe was spotted cheering along to the SKE48 mini concert like she always does whenever TJPW brings in idols for a musical performance.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~RIKA TATSUMI LOCAL TRIUMPH~” Results

September 16, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~RIKA TATSUMI LOCAL TRIUMPH~”, 16/09/2023
Nagano Kissei Bunka Hall Middle Hall
196 Fans

1. Suzume defeated Haru Kazashiro with the Ring A Bell (6:06).
2. Arisu Endo defeated Kaya Toribami with the Camel Clutch (6:15).
3. Hikari Noa defeated Pom Harajuku with the Blizzard Suplex (8:37).
4. Ryo Mizunami defeated Toga with a Spear (9:56).
5. Maki Itoh defeated Shino Suzuki with the Itoh Punish (10:12).
6. Aja Kong & Yuki Aino defeated Shoko Nakajima & Moka Miyamoto when Kong pinned Miyamoto with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (12:44).
7. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Miyu Yamashita & Hyper Misao when Tatsumi pinned Misao with the Missile Hip (14:56).

For the first time Tokyo Joshi Pro went to visit Nagano for Rika Tatsumi’s homecoming show. Daydream won in the main event after they got rid of Miyu Yamashita with the Daydream Eternity. Tatsumi then got to pin Hyper Misao with the Missile Hip. After the match Tatsumi said her pro wrestling career will soon be 10 years old. She also told the audience her mother came to see her wrestle for the first time. Tatsumi didn’t know what her mother thought about the match and her mom in the crowd shouted it was great! Backstage Miu Watanabe said she loves how gorgeous Nagano is. Tatsumi said she would like to become a goodwill ambassador for Nagano as well as the mascot for her favorite restaurant here.

The show began with the announcement that Tatsumi will be facing Max The Impaler at “WRESTLE PRINCESS IV” on 9th October in a double championship match! Tatsumi will put the International Princess Title on the line against Max’s NWA World Women’s Television Title. Max is somebody Tatsumi wanted to face one on one but she never expected it to happen until now.

There were a lot of names absent from the show because of an illness going through the roster. Raku is one of them. Both Aja Kong & Yuki Aino performed the Oyasumi Express together in their match as a shoutout to her. They did their best and won their match but even then they felt like they needed their leader Raku with them. Kong also praised the TJPW roster for doing their best to run the show with so many people missing.

Maki Itoh revealed that while she was in America for her most recent tour, she took a taxi and got in a traffic accident when another vehicle hit the taxi from behind. Today for her first match back in Japan she beat Shino Suzuki. Itoh claims she didn’t even use 10% of her power to win because Suzuki is just a rookie. She was also honest and thought the fan reaction to her return was only so-so. She wants to get stronger and go her own way even if she doesn’t get full fan support.

Ryo Mizunami called Toga a young fighter with a lot of potential and a promising future. Toga got to hit her with the big Elbow Strike in their match. Mizunami said the strike really affected her body and even touched her heart. She knows Toga felt the same feeling and wants her to keep it while she does her best from now on. She would like to fight her again when Toga becomes stronger.

There was one more cancelled appearance a few hours before the show due to illness. Wakana Uehara was pulled from the event because she was showing symptoms of a fever last night and hadn’t recovered. Pom Harajuku was Hikari Noa’s opponent instead.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~YUKI ARAI LOCAL TRIUMPH~” Results

September 10, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~YUKI ARAI LOCAL TRIUMPH~”, 10/09/2023
Kyoto KBS Hall
289 Fans

1. Kaya Toribami defeated Shino Suzuki with the Bird Cage (6:38).
2. Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Wakana Uehara & HIMAWARI when Raku pinned HIMAWARI with the Doctor Yellow (8:02).
3. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Nao Kakuta & Yoshiko Hasegawa when Nakajima pinned Hasegawa with the Northern Lights Suplex (11:48).
4. 3 Way Match: Hikari Noa defeated Miyu Yamashita and Moka Miyamoto when Noa pinned Miyamoto with the Rotating Leg Hold (10:08).
5. Yuki Aino defeated Yuki Arai with the UBV (12:09).
6. Princess Tag Team Titles 2nd Qualifier ~ 3 Way Tag Match: Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe and Suzume & Arisu Endo when Kiryu pinned Endo with the Spinebuster (12:48).

Toyo Mates have pulled off the upset to qualify for the Princess Tag Team Titles match at “WRESTLE PRINCESS IV”! The big momentum shift in the 3 Way Match was when Yuki Kamifuku hit both members of Daydream with the Famouser together. She then chose to deal with Suzume, leaving it all up to Mahiro Kiryu to finish the job. It almost backfired when Arisu Endo put Kiryu in the Camel Clutch but Kiryu escaped and pinned her with the Spinebuster. That means Toyo Mates moves on to face Free WiFi on 9th October where the winners will become the new champions.

Kamifuku admitted she was feeling burned out after the Summer tour which included her run in the Tokyo Princess Cup. She always has high expectations for Kiryu but was worried she couldn’t pull it off when the match came down to her and Endo. Kiryu swore that when they fight Free WiFi, she will cut off their signal! Daydream were disappointed they didn’t win. Both Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe miss carrying the pink title belts. Tatsumi said she even would have agreed to take part in two title matches at “WRESTLE PRINCESS IV” because she is planning to defend the International Princess Title there too. Suzume was apologetic to Endo for not being able to rescue her in time. Daisy Monkey believe they haven’t reached their full potential as a tag team yet so they still have a way to go until they become the best tag team in the world!

In preparation for the final Reiwa AA Cannon tag match happening later this month, Yuki Arai’s homecoming match was against Yuki Aino. The result was not in Arai’s favour as she was beaten by the more experienced opponent. It is the first time Arai lost a match in Kyoto. She said she had a lot of support from the fans but she was lacking in ability to win. Aino wants a repeat result when she and Moka Miyamoto face Arai & Saki Akai on 18th September.

Nao Kakuta busted her nose during Match #3. It is one of the rare times you will see blood on a Tokyo Joshi Pro show.

There is a regular pre-match routine that Pom Harajuku does with Daisuke Kiso. After Harajuku gets checked in the ring for foreign objects she shouts “Onegaishimasu” for as long as she can while Kiso guides her voice with his hand until he throws it away. Today he threw her voice towards the famous stained glass window of Kyoto KBS Hall causing the lighting behind it to shut off! They repeated the spot to fix the lights back to normal.

Toga was not at the show due to being in poor condition. The tag match she was scheduled to be in was turned into a 3 Way Match with the remaining wrestlers.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~AUTUMN TOUR OPENING ROUND~” Results

September 3, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~AUTUMN TOUR OPENING ROUND~”, 03/09/2023
Tokyo Otemachi Mitsui Hall
295 Fans

1. Toga defeated Shino Suzuki with the Rock Bottom (6:13).
2. Yuki Aino defeated Haru Kazashiro with the Venus DDT (7:21).
3. Moka Miyamoto, HIMAWARI & Wakana Uehara defeated Haruna Neko, Kaya Toribami & Runa Okubo when Miyamoto submitted Okubo with the Rashomon (11:09).
4. Hikari Noa defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Blizzard Suplex (7:45).
5. Mizuki defeated Juria Nagano with the Diving Foot Stomp (9:35).
6. 8-Woman Tag Match: Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao, Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Nakajima pinned Harajuku with the Diving Senton (21:01).

Four of the teams involved in the Princess Tag Team Titles mini-tournament were thrown into an 8-Woman Tag Match. It wasn’t until the show itself when Daydream found out they were teaming with RakuPom while Kyoraku Kyomei were with Toyo Mates. Both sides had trouble teaming with each other either by arguing over what moves to use or missing their double team moves altogether. Raku & Pom Harajuku did show off their new move the La La La Pop~♪ ♪ which is a Cross-Arm Double Facecrusher. However Hyper Misao caught Harajuku and set her up for Shoko Nakajima to hit the Diving Senton for the win.

Nakajima thinks Kyoraku Kyomei are in perfect condition to become the next Princess Tag Champions. Misao said it’s time for them to move forward because she doesn’t want to miss any more opportunities at winning the title. Yuki Kamifuku remembers it was a year ago when she and Mahiro Kiryu got a title shot and she is still proud of that match. She doesn’t want to team with anyone else but Kiryu and whenever she did she never thought they were as good a tag partner as her. Miu Watanabe wants to win the tag titles and wait for The Magical Sugar Rabbits to return, otherwise she and Rika Tatsumi will go beat up Tetsuya Koda. Raku & Harajuku think they need more power to succeed so they are going to eat more grilled meat.

A new documentary series starting this month on Tokyo Joshi Pro’s Youtube channel will be focused on five of TJPW’s younger wrestlers. “Next Generation” is being produced by the same crew behind Yume Pro Wrestling. It will run for five weeks with episodes dedicated to Arisu Endo, Wakana Uehara, Haru Kazashiro, Shino Suzuki and Moka Miyamoto. All five were chosen because none of them have won a championship yet.

Nozomi No. 371 From Tokyo Station

1. Falls Count Anywhere Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs Sanshiro Takagi

A meeting was held between Minoru Suzuki and Sanshiro Takagi a few days ago to determine what can and cannot be allowed during their Falls Count Anywhere Match inside a moving bullet train. They were given a set of rules by the railway company telling them they cannot damage the train, cause any delays, disrupt the crew, use any weapons that could break apart into fragments, leave the inside of the train dirty, hit the floor and seating with considerable force, touch the ceiling at all or cause harm to other passengers. Suzuki brought up his previous calculations that he can punch Takagi at 400km/h in the train. He wanted to know if Takagi explodes into bits of meat flying everywhere would that count as making the train car dirty? Takagi answered that if he dodges that punch and Suzuki hits a piece of equipment instead then Takagi wins by DQ.

The railway line also handed out a list of wrestling moves they can permit on the train. They include Lock Ups, grounded submission holds, Chops, Kicks, Body Slams, Brainbusters and Piledrivers. Suzuki pointed out the list is pretty much his usual moveset so he accepts the terms. Takagi however was upset he is now allowed use his own moves like Power Bombs, Lariats and Dropkicks. Suzuki agreed that Takagi can use the Axe Bomber as long as he shouts “Axe Bomber!” beforehand. Last but not least, the two also discussed adding in lunch breaks and toilet breaks if the match goes on too long.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HAPPY SUMMER VACATION! ~TJPW SUMMER VACATION 2023~” Results

August 29, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HAPPY SUMMER VACATION! ~TJPW SUMMER VACATION 2023~”, 26/08/2023
Osaka Hanamizuki Hall
237 Fans

1. Kaya Toribami defeated Runa Okubo with the Bird Cage (5:46)
2. 3 Way Match: Mahiro Kiryu defeated Haruna Neko and Shino Suzuki when Kiryu pinned Suzuki with the Spinebuster (5:37).
3. Hikari Noa & Toga defeated Hyper Misao & Haru Kazashiro when Noa pinned Kazashiro with the Running Neckbreaker Drop (10:40).
4. Special Single Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Demonio Dos with the Missile Hip (10:06).
5. Chu! Summer Party Death Match 2023: Mizuki & HIMAWARI defeated Shoko Nakajima & Pom Harajuku when Mizuki pinned Harajuku with the Diving Foot Stomp into the Pool (14:36).
6. Yuki Aino, Raku & Moka Miyamoto defeated Miu Watanabe, Suzume & Wakana Uehara when Aino pinned Uehara with the Venus DDT (15:40).

The summer theme led to a crazier show than usual. Everybody in the main event were too busy warming up to see what happened in the Summer Party Death Match so they were confused to find themselves stepping into a soaking wet wrestling ring. After the match Yuki Aino said today feels like the last day of summer and thanked the fans to coming to see them. Meanwhile Moka Miyamoto was still trying to figure out what happened before their match. Backstage Miu Watanabe told everyone she had a nice summer but she feels like she is now tired of it. She warned the audience not to get heatstroke while Suzume & Wakana Uehara were busy wishing everyone a happy summer. Raku said now that summer is over she wants to go eat ice cream.

The messy ring was caused by the Summer Party Death Match where all items related to summer were allowed. Everyone was dressed for the summer and armed with buckets of water, water balloons, firework sparklers and more. Shoko Nakajima also gathered together a pile of kaiju toys in the ring for everyone to get slammed into (she explained she used to watch kaiju movies in the cinema during her summer vacations so that meant the toys counted as legal weapons). Rika Tatsumi and Demonio Dos ended up getting involved in the match when everyone brawled out of the ring. That led to Mizuki diving onto everyone from the top of a truck. Back in the ring HIMAWARI smashed a watermelon over Nakajima’s head. A kiddie pool filled with water was then put in the ring. Mizuki knocked Pom Harajuku into the pool, placed a piece of watermelon over her head, climbed the top turnbuckle and hit the Diving Foot Stomp into the pool for the win. Mizuki & HIMAWARI ate the remaining pieces of watermelon to celebrate. HIMAWARI said she was happy to be part of a fun match like this because she’s only been here for over half a year. She wants to do it more. Nakajima complained that you shouldn’t hit people over the head with watermelons.

Tatsumi was given an opponent as crazy as her so she could really unleash herself without putting the rest of Tokyo Joshi Pro in danger. She’s fought Demonio Uno before so this time she took on Demonio Dos. The two quickly took their match out of the ring where Tatsumi found the company bus parked next to them. Tatsumi took the chance to get into the driver’s seat and try to run Dos over! However she does not understand how to drive stick and couldn’t get the bus started. Dos dragged Tatsumi out of the bus and back to the ring where they fought even more. A ref bump led to one of the turnbuckle pads being removed. Tatsumi hit Dos with the pad and then followed up with the Missile Hip, pinning the monster for the three count once the referee recoved. After the match Tatsumi offered a handshake, believing this whole ordeal was just her way of trying to make a new friend. Dos kicked her instead and the two started fighting again. Which explains why they reappeared during the Summer Party Death Match. Backstage Tatsumi claimed this was also an International Princess Title match and should count as her 5th successful defence. TJPW have not confirmed that.

Hyper Misao tried to attack her opponents with fireworks because she wanted it to be her last memory of this summer. Hikari Noa stopped her by swinging a chair at the fireworks. Noa then tried to use the fireworks herself but the referee prevented her from doing so.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP” Results

August 13, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 13/08/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
657 Fans

1. Hikari Noa defeated Runa Okubo with the Blue Racer (5:13).
2. 3 Way Match: Nao Kakuta defeated Haruna Neko and HIMAWARI when Kakuta pinned HIMAWARI with the Shiden Kai (8:04).
3. Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Shino Suzuki & Haru Kazashiro when Raku pinned Kazashiro with the Doctor Yellow (7:40).
4. Moka Miyamoto & Juria Nagano defeated Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami when Nagano pinned Toribami with the Whirlwind Kick (8:58).
5. Yuki Arai & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Wakana Uehara & Toga when Arai submitted Uehara with the Sasori-Katame (10:18).
6. Mizuki, Shoko Nakajima & Suzume defeated Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Yuki Aino when Mizuki pinned Watanabe with the Cutie Special (15:31).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: Miyu Yamashita defeated Yuki Kamifuku with the Skull Kick (15:57).

The tenth edition of the Tokyo Princess Cup has brought closure to one of the longest running curses in Tokyo Joshi Pro. That’s right, Miyu Yamashita has finally won the tournament! Her victory in the final ended Yuki Kamifuku’s strong run but it wasn’t without a fight. Kamifuku used the Reverse Famouser she debuted yesterday, a Superplex, the Manjigatame and also some good old Eye Pokes to her advantage. But Yamashita fought back with German Suplexes, the Return Crash and the Skull Kick. That last move would have won the match if it wasn’t for Kamifuku’s long leg reaching over to cause a rope break. Kamifuku had one last gasp that led to her missing the Famouser. Yamashita quickly capitalised with the Crash Rabbit Heat to the back followed by another from the front to win the final.

Yamashita told the fans it’s taken 10 years but she finally won the Princess Cup. However she still has big ambitions for the future and is moving straight on to the next one. She called down Mizuki to the ring and told her she wanted to win this tournament so she could challenge her for the Princess Of Princess Title with pride. Mizuki admitted she is frustrated she lost to Yamashita in the 1st Round. Her pro wrestling life is the exact opposite of Yamashita but she respects her a lot. Mizuki accepted the challenge and the title match will take place at “WRESTLE PRINCESS IV” on 9th October. Yamashita requested a handshake afterward but Mizuki declined with a shake of her head.

Backstage Yamashita repeated her points. She has thought about winning the Princess Cup for the last ten years but the championship Mizuki has is more important to her. She also praised Kamifuku and is really glad to have fought her in the final. When a reporter pointed out that Yamashita has won both of TJPW’s annual tournaments this year, she said she can now add “Tournament Wins” to her special skills column. Kamifuku revealed that right after the match she received a LINE message from Aja Kong that said “You did your best.” Kamifuku still does not like competing in tournaments but understands she has to enter them and do her best.

Mizuki kept her skills sharp in the semi-main event by scoring the pinfall on Miu Watanabe in a 6-Woman Tag Match. Suzume took out Yuki Aino with the top rope Facebuster, Rika Tatsumi got rid of her with the Twist Of Fate and Shoko Nakajima bowled out who was left with a Topé Con Hilo. Back in the ring Mizuki unleashed the Whirling Candy on Watanabe and pinned her with the Cutie Special.

Yesterday’s fortunes were switched around for a few people in Match #5. Toga was coming in fresh off of winning a match by herself for the first time and Wakana Uehara was on the winning team with her. Yuki Arai on the other hand had to bounce back from her semi-final loss while Mahiro Kiryu is dealing with the hand she’s dealt with like always. Toga used her new Rock Bottom finisher again on Kiryu but the match came down to Uehara against Arai. A Big Boot from Arai led to her submitting Uehara with the Scorpion Deathlock.

The first time meeting between Hyper Misao and Juria Nagano saw the two facing off for a Karate duel. Misao then immediately threw away that idea and strangled Nagano with her cloak instead. Nagano had her Karate Tag partner Moka Miyamoto to count on though and together they kicked away Misao. Kaya Toribami stepped in and got a nearfall on Nagano with the 2nd Rope Twisting Senton. But Nagano hit her with a flurry of strikes, finishing her off with the Whirlwind Kick for the three count.

There was some confusion during the morning over Pom Harajuku. A couple of hours before the show began, TJPW announced she would be absent for various reasons and the card would be changed in response to that. The new card had Aino replacing Harajuku so Aino would have ended up wrestling twice. However Sayuri Namba then announced during the show opening introductions that Harajuku was here and will be wrestling her match after all, just a little later than scheduled. In the match itself Harajuku had a handle on Shino Suzuki while Raku beat Haru Kazashiro with the Doctor Yellow.

The last of the summer vibes were cherished in the 3 Way Match. Nao Kakuta stood on HIMAWARI like a surfboard, tied Haruna Neko’s tail to the rope to immobilise her and then pinned HIMAWARI with the Shiden Kai.

Hikari Noa won her match by using the Blue Racer submission hold for the first time in a while. She locked the move in on Runa Okubo and pulled her away from the ropes. Stuck in the center of the ring with nowhere to go, Okubo gave up.

TJPW is heading back to America this December for a co-promoted show with Presitge Wrestling! The two promotions are putting together “COMBAT PRINCESS USA” at the Globe Theater in Los Angeles on 14th December. The names announced so far are Mizuki, Rika Tatsumi, Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh, Taya Valkyrie, Masha Slamovich, Killer Kelly and Sandra Moone.

Maki Itoh Vs Nyla Rose was announced for “WRESTLE PRINCESS IV” on 9th October.

The vacant Princess Tag Team Titles will crown new champions at “WRESTLE PRINCESS IV”. Details will be announced at a later date.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP” Results

August 12, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 12/08/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
525 Fans

2. Suzume defeated Juria Nagano with the Ring A Bell (6:05).
3. It’s Summer Vacation! Eat Shaved Ice And Enter 8-Woman Tag Match: Yuki Aino, Raku, Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko defeated Hyper Misao, Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Kaya Toribami when Harajuku pinned Toribami with the Pom de Justice (9:58).
4. Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Mizuki & Mahiro Kiryu when Sakisama pinned Kiryu with the Academy Award (13:53).
5. Shoko Nakajima & Miu Watanabe defeated Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo when Nakajima pinned Miyamoto with the Northern Lights Suplex (13:21).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Miyu Yamashita defeated Yuki Arai with the Skull Kick (13:18).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Yuki Kamifuku defeated Rika Tatsumi with the Diving Famouser (12:39).

See what you can do when you put your mind to it? Yuki Kamifuku has spent this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup proving her doubters wrong and it’s taken her all the way to winning a Korakuen Hall main event for the first time! And she did it by beating Rika Tatsumi too, being the first person to pin her since January. Tatsumi tried to use submission holds but Kamifuku’s tall body allowed her to break out of the White Dragon Sleeper. Kamifuku then ran in to hit a Guillotine Drop and then climbed the second rope for a Diving Famouser to score the three count. Although Tatsumi lost, she still felt like she made a lot of progress in the tournament this year. She said she will use that experience for her future International Princess Title defences.

Joining Kamifuku in the final is Miyu Yamashita. Ten years into the tournament’s existence Yamashita has entered every single one and this is the first time she has reached the final. Yuki Arai gave her a tough challenge to make it here. It was one of the few times Yamashita took just as many kicks to the face than her opponent. Big Boots were a key part of Arai’s battle plan until Yamashita blocked the Finally, threw up a feint and hit her target with the Skull Kick to win. Still, Arai is proud over how far she made it this year. She noticed she has gone one round further than the year before in every Princess Cup she has entered so next year she is aiming to go even higher.

So tomorrow’s final has come down to Yamashita Vs Kamifuku. Yamashita admitted she didn’t expect Kamifuku would make it this far but she is looking forward to fighting her with everything on the line tomorrow. Kamifuku said she will prepare for the final the same way she does for any other match. She is going to paint her nails, get her hair treated and use her beauty to win! Backstage Kamifuku said she loves her fans and is grateful for their support. She wants everyone to follow her whether they like or hate her. Yamashita said she is well aware of her bad fortunes in this tournament over the years. But then she thinks about everybody she has fought and beaten as well as remembering Yuka Sakazaki finally winning the Princess Cup for the first time last year. Those thoughts are what pushed her not to fall apart here like she would have in years past.

The four wrestlers who were eliminated in the Quarter Finals were paired off for a tag team match. The result was Shoko Nakajima & Miu Watanabe taking on Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo. Watanabe ended up throwing Endo into Miyamoto and then Body Slammed the both of them at the same time. Nakajima then pinned Miyamoto with the Northern Lights Suplex. She was happy to win today because she is feeling all of the younger wrestlers starting to catch up on her. As Summer comes to an end, Watanabe said she will do her best in the Autumn.

The latest appearance of NEO Biishiki-gun featured Sakisama acting less disgusted towards her opponents than usual. That shouldn’t be surprising when you think about it because she always held a slightly higher opinion of Mizuki than she did for others. Her somewhat friendlier treatment towards her this time left Mei Saint-Michel feeling jealous. She got one over on Mizuki by dropping the metal serving tray over her head before Sakisama pinned Mahiro Kiryu. Then after the match Sakisama handed Mizuki her rose. Once everyone left ringside it was announced that NEO Biishiki-gun (including Martha & Yukio Saint Laurent) will return at “WRESTLE PRINCESS IV” on 9th October.

Both teams in the 8-Woman Tag match agreed to a special rule where everyone first had to eat a serving of shaved ice before they could enter the bout. There were different glasses of shaved ice placed on tables outside the ring so everybody drew chopsticks and had to eat the glass matching the colour they picked. Yuki Aino got to eat the smallest glass and entered the match almost immediately. She had to wait for Hyper Misao to finish her glass before the actual wrestling could begin. Nao Kakuta, Hikari Noa and Haruna Neko all followed to fill both teams up. Pom Harajuku had to eat the largest glass and that kept her out longer than everyone else. When she finally finished, she jumped in with the hot tag only to stop herself because she was suffering from brain freeze. But thanks to some teamwork with Raku, she was able to recover and pin Kaya Toribami for the win.

In a singles match Suzume got to take on Juria Nagano. Suzume dodged the Brazilian Kick, dropped Nagano with a Facebuster and pinned her with the Ring A Bell.

The 2023 class of rookies were all together in the opening 6-Woman Tag Match. The match gave the two teenagers Haru Kazashiro and Runa Okubo more time to develop their classmate rivalry. Wakana Uehara found herself fighting with HIMAWARI in the match a lot. But it was Toga who got all of the attention at the end by getting her first direct win in her young career! She broke out of Shino Suzuki’s Sleeper Hold and pinned her with a Rock Bottom. Both of them debuted on the same day so that particular result means a lot for them.

There will be two shows taking place in Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX on 15th October. The afternoon show will be “GO GIRL 4” and is for a women only audience. The evening event will be a regular show.
