September 12, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’20 ~WOMM (WRESTLING OF MY MIND)~”, 12/09/2020
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Yuka Sakazaki defeated Moka Miyamoto with a Sliding Lariat (7:51).
2. Three Loss Point System Irregular Win 3 Way Match ~ Autumn Big Athletic Meet: Hyper Misao defeated Miyu Yamashita and Pom Harajuku (6:19).
2a. Miyu Yamashita eliminated Pom Harajuku by Point Loss TKO (5:55).
2b. Hyper Misao eliminated Miyu Yamashita by Point Loss TKO (6:19).
3. Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Maki Itoh & Himawari Unagi when Kamifuku defeated Unagi with the Fame Asser (11:32).
4. Mirai Maiumi, Suzume & Sena Shiori defeated Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Haruna Neko when Suzume pinned Neko with the RKO (12:29).
5. Natsumi Maki & Hikari Noa defeated Shoko Nakajima & Mahiro Kiryu when Maki pinned Noa with the Backlash (10:29).
6. Mizuki & Mina Shirakawa defeated Yuki Aino & Raku when Mizuki pinned Raku with the Cutie Special (13:46).

Mizuki was happy to team with Mina Shirakawa before Shirakawa leaves Tokyo Joshi Pro at the end of the month. Shirakawa responded that she personally loves and respects Mizuki. When they were interviewed backstage, Shirakawa talked about the entire roster sharing their memories of her after the news of her contracting ending came out. Mizuki said she didn’t say anything. Shirakawa corrected her by bringing up a private LINE conversation they had but Mizuki stopped her from providing any more info. For Shirakawa’s last match in TJPW she wants to do something like a Gauntlet match against the entire roster. She reconsidered when she was told that is usually done for retirement matches.

It’s not goodbye yet but Pandemic Boo-Boo teamed up for what could be the last time.

An RKO from Suzume to Haruna Neko created an upset result in Match #4. The match could have ended the other way when Miu Watanabe put Suzume in the Canadian Backbreaker. Sena Shiori made the save with a Dropkick. When Rika Tatsumi got rid of her, Suzume ran rings around Daydream distracting them long enough for Maiumi Mirai to wipe them out with a Double Lariat. After the match Suzume called for Tatsumi’s attention. She joined TJPW because of how much she admires the wrestlers and now she is one too. Suzume wants to herself and Maiumi to shine as bright as Tatsumi so they are challenging Daydream for the Princess Tag Team Titles! The match is accepted and will take place on 21st September. Watanabe seeing two young wrestlers challenging the champions reminds her of when she and Hikari Noa did the same against the Magical Sugar Rabbits two years ago.

Himawari Unagi kept shouting “Wasshoi!” during her match. Trying to get the last of that festival feeling before the summer ends I guess.

Hyper Misao’s latest idea for a match was to give each wrestler 3 points. They lost a point being pinned for 2 seconds, giving up to a submission or getting thrown over the top rope to the outside. Last wrestler with points remaining wins. Misao and Pom Harajuku worked together to take points from Miyu Yamashita. The match came down to everyone with a point each. Yamashita pinned Harajuku with the Attitude Adjustment to eliminate her. But Harajuku rolled into Yamashita’s legs afterwards and helped Misao pin her with La Magistral Cradle to give Misao the victory.

The matches were kept secret until they happened so everyone was surprised to see Yuka Sakazaki in the opener. Moka Miyamoto had her first match back after being absent with illness for a month.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP FINAL” Results

August 29, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP FINAL”, 29/08/2020
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Mina Shirakawa defeated Hyper Misao, Raku & Himawari Unagi when Tenma pinned Unagi with the Killswitch (7:51).
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Mizuki defeated Maki Itoh with the Cutie Special (12:59).
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Shoko Nakajima defeated Miyu Yamashita with an Inside Cradle (15:34).
4. Yuka Sakazaki, Mirai Maiumi & Sena Shiori defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko when Sakazaki pinned Kiryu with the Magical Magical Girl Splash (12:15).
5. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Suzume defeated Natsumi Maki, Hikari Noa & Pom Harajuku when Watanabe pinned Harajuku with the Tear Drop (10:26).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: Mizuki defeated Shoko Nakajima with the Cutie Special (16:23).

Mizuki win the Tokyo Princess Cup for the second year in a row! Due to shows being cancelled due to the Coronavirus, the semi-finals were pushed back to the same day as the final. Mizuki met Shoko Nakajima in the final. Nakajima immediately went for a Topé Suicida but Mizuki got out of the way and Yuka Sakazaki took the dive at ringside instead. Mizuki then hit a Diving Foot Stomp and a Diving Body Press to the outside. Mizuki later stopped the Diving Senton from happening so she could do the Avalanche Cutie Special. Nakajima almost won with the Northern Lights Suplex but Mizuki kicked out and took back control with a Codebreaker. She weakened her opponent with more Double Stomps until finally winning with the Cutie Special.

Mizuki hugged Sakazaki after receiving the trophy. She thanked everyone for supporting her and excitedly told Sakazaki she won over and over. She then said she wants to have a match against Sakazaki because she is still ahead of her as the Princess Of Princess Champion. Sakazaki said that would be a good match and a miracle title match needs to take place in a miracle venue. Sakazaki Vs Mizuki for the Princess Title will happen main event “WRESTLE PRINCESS” at Tokyo Dome City Hall on 7th November! They hugged again and closed out the show together.

Nakajima ended Miyu Yamashita’s miracle run in the Princess Cup. The focus was on the Northern Lights Suplex. Yamashita kicked out of it once and resisted being given the move a second time but Nakajima turned it into a Small Package to get the three count. Yamashita said she is disappointed she lost to Nakajima and go eliminated from the tournament. She now knows her own weaknesses and will have do something about it. She wonders if she is still too naive over her obsession to win and has to figure out how to shine and become stronger.

Mizuki had to fight past Maki Itoh in a meeting of the original Itoh Respect Army. Itoh got a nearfall with a Swinging DDT then went for the Itoh Special. Mizuki fought out of it and caught Itoh in the Cutie Special for the victory. Itoh declined to shake hands after the match. She instead gave Mizuki the middle finger. This one was out of respect. At least I think it was supposed to be. Backstage Itoh said today’s defeat was the biggest shame of the year. The only solution is to get stronger. In the beginning she just tried to fight her best but Itoh has outgrown that mindset. It’s too tacky for her. That is why Itoh is going to fight the way she wants to fight from now on.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP” Results

August 15, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 15/08/2020
Tokyo Kanda Myojin Hall
??? Fans

1. Rika Tatsumi, Nodoka Tenma & Haruna Neko defeated Mirai Maiumi, Suzume & Sena Shiori when Tatsumi pinned Shiori with the Twist Of Fate (10:34).
2. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Hikari Noa & Pom Harajuku when Kiryu pinned Harajuku with the Spinebuster (6:56).
3. Yuka Sakazaki & Raku defeated Mina Shirakawa & Himawari Unagi when Sakazaki submitted Unagi with an Omoplata (10:31).
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Mizuki defeated Yuki Aino with the Cutie Special (11:27).
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Maki Itoh defeated Miu Watanabe with the Flying Big Head (11:36).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Shoko Nakajima defeated Natsumi Maki with the Diving Senton (10:49).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Miyu Yamashita defeated Hyper Misao with the Crash Rabbit Heat (12:38).

An unnamed member of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster who was not at today’s show tested positive in a PCR exam for COVID-19. She is currently being treated and has no worrying symptoms to report at this time. For the entire roster’s safety, tomorrow’s show in Kanda Myojin Hall and the Itabashi Green Hall show on the 22nd have been cancelled. The person had not been in close contact with DDT wrestlers so today’s DDT show went ahead as scheduled as will tomorrow’s BOYZ show. However, Daisuke Kiso will not work those events because he was on the TJPW show.

Hyper Misao was so thankful for the fan support she got from beating Yuka Sakazaki last week. To prove how important the Tokyo Princess Cup is for her, she gathered together her most important weapons and emptied them in the ring to show Miyu Yamashita they will have a fair fight. Yamashita saw through her plan and blocked the attempted Cold Spray attack. However, Misao had a second can and froze her opponent for a nearfall. Misao used the spray again outside the ring and rolled Yamashita up in the ring apron. Yamashita avoided the countout and tackled Misao while still wrapped up in the apron. Misao used an exposed turnbuckle for another advantage but Yamashita kicked her away. She blocked the Vanitas, hit the Attitude Adjustment and won with the Crash Rabbit Heat. Could this finally be Yamashita’s year to win the tournament?

Meeting Yamashita in the semi-final will be Shoko Nakajima. Her win over Natsumi Maki means Maki will have to wait even longer for her next rematch with Yamashita. Nakajima did the Northern Lights Suplex but couldn’t hold on the bridge for the pin. She corrected that by doing a Double Arm DDT and then the Diving Senton for the victory.

Over on the other side of the bracket, Maki Itoh reached her career best in the tournament, advancing to the semi final over Miu Watanabe. Itoh blocked the Laserbeam strike with a Headbutt then hit the Flying Big Head. Rather than go for the pin, Itoh hit a second Flying Big Head to ensure Watanabe would not kick out.

Waiting for Itoh in the semi final is last year’s winner Mizuki. That means the former Itoh Respect Army explodes! Mizuki used an Avalanche Cutie Special on Yuki Aino but was too damaged to pin her straight away. Aino recovered and hit the Venus DDT. She went for the UBV but Mizuki countered it with a Casadora and a Double Stomp. She hit the standard Cutie Special to put Aino away.

The Tokyo Princess Cup semi final matches are Mizuki Vs Maki Itoh and Shoko Nakajima Vs Miyu Yamashita. They were supposed to take place tomorrow but they will have to be rescheduled over the sudden cancellation. Should everything be okay after testing then the next show on the calendar is the final itself on 29th August. They can easily do the semi finals and final on the same show if they have to.

Last year’s winner Mizuki faces the most recent Princess Title challenger Yuki Aino. The last remaining Up Up Girls member in the competition Miu Watanabe takes on Maki Itoh. Over on the other side of the bracket, Natsumi Maki and Shoko Nakajima promises to be frantic. Finally Miyu Yamashita’s meets the biggest reminder of her Princess Cup curse. Hyper Misao’s upset over Yamashita back in 2016 is what cemented this jinx in the first place. But did Misao use up all her luck knocking out Yuka Sakazaki?

DDT “BON DEMONE, ATASHA KAMISAMADA YO 2020”, 15/08/2020
Tokyo Kanda Myojin Hall

1. HARASHIMA, Konosuke Takeshita & Yukio Naya Vs Chris Brookes, Makoto Oishi & Mizuki Watase

DDT “BLACK OUT PRESENTS KING OF DDT 2020 FINAL!!”, 23/08/2020
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Under Match – 3 Way Tag Match: Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda & Keigo Nakamura Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yukio Naya

6. King Of DDT 2020 – Final: X Vs X

The King Of DDT is down to Tetsuya Endo, Kazusada Higuchi, Akito and T-Hawk. The winner headlines “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020” at Ota Ward Gymnasium in November. Endo has different connections with the rest of the final four. He feuded with Higuchi throughout the DDT TV SHOW series earlier this year. He was beaten in the 1st Round by Akito but was rescued from elimination by winning the Dramatic Chance Battle Royal. And his partnership with T-Hawk is the origin of the DAMNHEARTS business alliance. Akito wants revenge on T-Hawk after he lost to him at “JUDGEMENT 2019” in Sumo Hall last February.

BAKUHA KOSHIEN “STREET FIGHT CLUB”, 25/08/2020
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

3. STREET FIGHT CLUB Special Match ~Royal Traditions Match~: Jun Akiyama Vs Yukio Naya
4. Street Fight 6-Man Tag Match: Atsushi Onita, Yuko Miyamoto & Rocky Kawamura Vs Takashi Sugiura, NOSAWA Rongai & Kaz Hayashi

Atsushi Onita got the toughest competition to fight his crew in the main event. Sugiura-gun from NOAH are entering the STREET FIGHT CLUB! Onita and Takashi Sugiura had a little death match feud half a decade ago that never really went anywhere. Might as well rekindle it because 2020 is weird enough to make it happen. There is also the two unusual joshi offshoots Gake no Fuchi Joshi and Pocchari Joshi getting paired against each other.

BASARA “BASARA 131 ~BANQUET~”, 25/08/2020
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Fuminori Abe (c) Vs Daiki Shimomura

In the main event of the last BASARA show, Daiki Shimomura pinned Fuminori Abe to win the 8-Man Tag Team Elimination Match. That grants him a shot at the Union MAX Title. Abe quickly bounced back from that result two days later by winning the BJW Tag Team Titles with Takuya Nomura so he is now a double champion.

DDT “DAMNATION ILLEGAL RALLY RETURNS”, 29/08/2020
Shinjuku FACE

1. Shuji Ishikawa & Mad Paulie Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Naya
2. Tetsuya Endo Debut 8th Anniversary Match: Tetsuya Endo vs Ryuichi Sekine

The DAMNATION produce show that was meant to happen back in June is now happening at the end of August. Shuji Ishikawa comes back for the occasion.

DDT “TAISHO DRAMATIC ROMANTAN 2020”, 05/09/2020
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall

1. Taisho Ward Specialty! Jun To Ai Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Maku Donaruto Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Danshoku Dieno
2. Junretsu Vs ALL OUT!: Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi Vs Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata

Chris Brookes & Maku Donaruto now get the chance to be more friendly towards each other.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP” Results

August 10, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 10/08/2020
Tokyo Kanda Myojin Hall
??? Fans

1. Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Haruna Neko defeated Maki Itoh, Raku & Himawari Unagi when Aino pinned Unagi with the Venus DDT (9:40).
2. 3 Way Match: Mizuki defeated Mirai Maiumi and Sena Shiori when Mizuki pinned Shiori with the Diving Foot Stomp (8:04).
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Natsumi Maki defeated Pom Harajuku with the Backlash (4:41).
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Shoko Nakajima defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Northern Lights Suplex (10:37).
5. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Suzume defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Mina Shirakawa & Moka Miyamoto when Tatsumi pinned Miyamoto with the Twist Of Fate (9:11).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Miyu Yamashita defeated Hikari Noa with the Skull Kick (10:22).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Hyper Misao defeated Yuka Sakazaki with La Magistral Cradle (15:42).

The Princess Of Princess Champion is eliminated! Yuka Sakazaki is out. And guess who got her out of the tournament? Hyper Misao of course! Before their match began, Misao talked about missing last year’s Tokyo Princess Cup and she was thinking about the last two years during Sakazaki’s entrance. She had a lot of tricks she wanted to use but never got around to them so she promised to fight fair and square. She emptied a bunch of stuff for Daisuke Kiso to clear out of the ring then she immediately blinded Sakazaki with cold spray behind the ref’s back. Misao continued the dirty tricks by taping Sakazaki’s feet to the post so she hung updside down outside the ring. When Sakazaki got freed she tried to suffocate Misao by covering her mouth and nose. She then pulled off a turnbuckle pad and hit Misao with it. Misao’s attempted to do the Vanitas but her leg was too damaged to complete the move. But she blocked the Magical Girl Splash and trapped Sakazaki in La Magistral Cradle for the three count!

Hikari Noa is aware of Miyu Yamashita’s poor record in the Princess Cup so she scoped out every opening to get a flash pin. She even used the Modified European Clutch (the Bridging Figure 4 looking thing) that’s becoming popular for a nearfall. She also used a Thrust Kick that Natsumi Maki taught her. While Yamashita was still on her back, she used her legs to push Noa off her. When she got up she caught Noa off guard and hit the Skull Kick to win. After wrestling both Raku and Noa back to back, Yamashita believes The Up Up Girls are getting stronger. Now she has to face Misao in the next round and that brings back some angry memories for Yamashita.

Somebody who usually has a good record in the Princess Cup is Shoko Nakajima. The last two years were off because she got eliminated in the 2nd Round both times. This year is an improvement thanks to her advancing over Mahiro Kiryu. Nakajima kicked out of the Spinebuster and won with the Northern Lights Suplex. Kiryu is still pleased with her first Princess Cup performance. When asked if she thinks she has grown during it, Kiryu answered she’s grown about 5mm.

You can never trust Pom Harajuku under any circumstances. Natsumi Maki found that out the hard way when they went for a handshake. Harajuku snuck in a Sneaker Kick and pelted Maki with more Sneaker Kicks in the early going. Her attacks grew bigger building up to a Missile Dropkick. Natsumi took the brunt of the offence long enough to pin her opponent with the Backlash. She then hit Harajuku in the knee for payback after the match.

The Quarter Final matches are now set. Natsumi Maki Vs Shoko Nakajima and Miyu Yamashita Vs Hyper Misao joins Mizuki Vs Yuki Aino and Miu Watanabe Vs Maki Itoh on 15th August.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP” Results

August 8, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 08/08/2020
Tokyo Kanda Myojin Hall
??? Fans

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Suzume defeated Haruna Neko with the Diving Body Attack (6:06).
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Maki Itoh defeated Himawari Unagi with the Itoh Deluxe (5:45).
3. 2 Vs 3 Handicap Match: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Mirai Maiumi, Sena Shiori & Moka Miyamoto when Misao submitted Shiori with a Body Squeeze Chickenwing Facelock (10:38).
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Natsumi Maki defeated Mina Shirakawa with the Backlash (7:43).
5. Mizuki, Yuki Aino, Yuki Kamifuku & Makoto Shiryu defeated Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe, Hikari Noa & Pom Harajuku when Mizuki pinned Harajuku with the Diving Foot Stomp (11:37).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Miyu Yamashita defeated Raku with the Attitude Adjustment (8:19).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Nodoka Tenma with the Magical Girl Niwatori Yaro (14:18).

In just over two weeks Yuka Sakazaki has beaten both of The Bakuretsu Sisters in singles matches with her new Magical Girl 450 Splash. Sakazaki said the fans may have expected a 1st Round upset today but it didn’t happen here against Nodoka Tenma. Sakazaki has never won the Tokyo Princess Cup and she is extra motivated to end that streak as the reigning Princess Of Princess Champion. She faces Hyper Misao in the next round but doesn’t know which Misao to expect.

The Princess Cup has been Miyu Yamashita’s achilles heel for the entire existence of Tokyo Joshi Pro. This year she got off on the right foot avoiding the potential upset of all upsets against Raku. Yamashita has another Up Up Girl facing her in Round 2, Hikari Noa.

Natsumi Maki showed up wearing the wrestling costume Kairi Sane gifted to her before she left for WWE. The timing of that, eh? She swears she only wore it because she wanted something pink to match with Mina Shirakawa in the ring. Maki faces Pom Harajuku in the next round.

Today wasn’t a big deal for Maki Itoh. If you ask her she simply beat Himawari Unagi because she wanted it more. This year is different for Itoh. She wanted to win back the International Princess Title and make it the most important championship in TJPW. That can’t happen because it is stuck in America with Thunder Rosa. So Itoh will chase after Sakazaki and the Princess Title instead. Yuki Kamifuku is Itoh’s 2nd Round opponent.

The closest thing to an upset today was Suzume beating Haruna Neko in the opener. Maybe it is an upset but eh, I don’t see it that way. She didn’t even think she would be in the tournament this year. Suzume faces Mizuki in the next round. Now that would be an upset if Suzume wins.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2020 SUMMER ~TJPW IS 『 』~” Results

July 25, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2020 SUMMER ~TJPW IS 『　　　』~”, 25/07/2020
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
110 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Shoko Nakajima defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Northern Lights Suplex (6:16).
2. Miyu Yamashita & Nodoka Tenma defeated Mahiro Kiryu & Himawari Unagi when Yamashita submitted Kiryu with the Modified Cobra Clutch (7:24).
3. Quiz Shiorinaire: Hyper Misao defeated Sena Shiori with the USI (10:58).
4. Mina Shirakawa & Mirai Maiumi defeated Maki Itoh & Pom Harajuku when Shirakawa pinned Harajuku with the Implant DDT (11:29).
5. Yuki Aino & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Rika Tatsumi & Haruna Neko when Aino pinned Neko with the Venus DDT (13:11).
6. Miu Watanabe, Hikari Noa & Raku defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Suzume when Noa pinned Suzume with the Uranage (13:43).

The day has finally come. The Up Up Girls closed out a Tokyo Joshi Pro show as the main event winners! The win was over a team that had The Magical Sugar Rabbits in it too. Hikari Noa said today’s win gives her, Miu Watanabe and Raku confidence going into the Tokyo Princess Cup. They will go crazy in the tournament this year!

Mina Shirakawa & Mirai Maiumi named their team Minato Mirai.

A special 2 Count Handicap was put on the Sena Shiori Vs Hyper Misao match. Shiori only needed to pin Misao for a 2 Count to win. If Misao got at least a 2 Count then she had to correctly answer a quiz question to win. Misao was also allowed a lifeline if she got a 3 Count. The questions asked by Tetsuya Koda were all about Shiori. Misao quickly pinned Shiori with a Cradle from a Handshake. “What move was used to end Shiori’s debut match?” Misao answered Dropkick but was wrong. Misao got a 2 Count from a School Boy. “What is Shiori’s date of birth?” Misao answered 14th September, 2002 but was wrong. Misao did another School Boy and this time got a 3 Count. “Where did Shiori go with her friend Hikari Noa to celebrate her birthday?” Misao was allowed a lifeline so she used Noa as her Phone A Friend. Noa hinted it was a theme park in Osaka. Misao answered Universal Studios Japan but was wrong. She yelled at Noa for giving her a bad hint. Misao went back and got a 2 Count pin. “What martial art did Shiori learn in elementary school?” Misao said Kyodo but was wrong once again. Shiori gained control of the match until Misao knocked over the referee. Shiori had Misao pinned but no ref was around to count it. Misao regained control and got a 2 Count with the Hyper Gotham Crash. “Where did Shiori go with her friend Hikari Noa to celebrate her debut match?” Misao thought about it and answered Universal Studios Japan again. She was correct which means she wins the match!

Himawari Unagi got to wrestle Miyu Yamashita for the first time since their match last October where Unagi got injured.

The ring announcer Sayuri Namba received some great news at the start of the show. She entered a competition to become a RIZIN round girl but was eliminated early on. Well today she found out she won a poll out of the eliminated contestants to re-enter the contest! She hopes to become a round girl and get RIZIN to promote Tokyo Joshi Pro in the process.

7. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) defeated Yuki Aino with the Magical Girl Niwatori Yaro (18:00).
*V3 for Yuka Sakazaki.

The world of Tokyo Joshi Pro is constantly evolving. Yuka Sakazaki proved that by doing a 450 version of the Magical Girl Splash to beat Yuki Aino. Even Sakazaki herself was surprised by how far she flew with that move. She said after the match that she shouldn’t be stagnant in situations like these which is why she used what is now called the Magical Girl Niwatori Yaro. She celebrated in the ring with Mizuki to close out the show. Sakazaki’s next goal is to win the Tokyo Princess Cup so she can continue her title reign without having any further challengers.

Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao pulled out all the stops in their attempt to win the Princess Tag Team Titles. It’s been six months since TJPW was in Korakuen Hall so the two of them wanted to give everyone a fun and exciting pro wrestling match. The most exciting thing they could think of was beating Daydream by any means necessary! Misao used cold spray to blind Miu Watanabe and taped her feet to the corner post so she was left hanging outside the ring. Misao brought out her bicycle and tried to run Watanabe over but Watanabe lifted herself up and Misao crashed into the railing. Nakajima filled the ring with kaiju toys but she was slammed on top of them by Watanabe. She used the Tear Drop on Nakajima, leaving Rika Tatsumi to scoop up the win by hitting Misao with the Missile Hip Attack. The champions agreed it was a really fun match.

Yuna Manase has bid farewell to Tokyo Joshi. She won’t be gone forever but her future lies elsewhere. In the final moments of her match, Manase took a Skull Kick from Miyu Yamashita. There were no hard feelings over it, they hugged after the match. Manase hugged Mizuki and Natsumi Maki too. She said she loved being inside the Tokyo Joshi ring. She will definitely come back again someday and when she does she will be able to fight on a higher level.

Jealousy reared its ugly head within Cat’s Pye, causing Yuki Kamifuku and Mina Shirakawa to face off in a Gravure Wrestler Showdown. Shirakawa won the match with her Glamorous Strong Style Facebuster. There was a tense moment afterwards when Kamifuku hesitated shaking Shirakawa’s hand. But she did so and and two friends left the ring together. Kamifuku said in a backstage interview that she wants to learn more about pro wrestling now she has been doing it for four years. Shirakawa has been inspired by Jushin Liger but he doesn’t match Kamifuku’s taste. So Kamifuku is going to start watching Shuji Ishikawa matches from All Japan.

The other two thirds of The Up Up Girls had a singles match together. Raku came close to a win with the Doctor Yellow. Hikari Noa hit back with a Lariat and won with the Uranage. The result has only motivated Raku to try even harder for her first singles win.

Himawari Unagi returned to the ring for her first match in nine and a half months. She had a new costume and new entrance music for her comeback match. She reunited with three of the other HiSPC wrestlers, teaming with Haruna Neko to wrestle Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu. Neko got rid of Kiryu with the Codebreaker but Unagi couldn’t seal the deal. Harajuku hit the Pom do Justice to end Unagi’s return with a loss.

The newest Tokyo Joshi debut is Moka Miyamoto. She majored in Japanese Culture at university which is why she wrestled in a hakama. Suzume was there to help out but most of the match was Miyamoto trying to fight off Mirai Maiumi & Sena Shiori.

There will be 21 women entering this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup. The full list is Yuka Sakazaki, Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe, Shoko Nakajima, Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh, Natsumi Maki, Mizuki, Hyper Misao, Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino, Hikari Noa, Raku, Yuki Kamifuku, Mina Shirakawa, Haruna Neko, Pom Harajuku, Mahiro Kiryu, Himawari Unagi, Mirai Maiumi and Suzume.

The Tokyo Dome City Hall show will go ahead on 7th November. At the moment they are permitted to set up the venue to 50% capacity.
