joshi17-lastride

For the second year in a row Tokyo Joshi Pro was in Korakuen Hall for a big show held on 4th January. One year ago, Yuu had her debut pro wrestling match with the group. Today she was defending the TOKYO Princess Of Princess Championship in the main event. Her opponent Shoko Nakajima was part of last year’s main event too fighting to be the first champion. Unfortunately for her she was defeated again. Yuu unexpectedly used a Last Ride Power Bomb, in tribute to the late Koichiro Kimura apparently, putting Nakajima away. Yuu is looking forward to defending the title many more times and she didn’t have to wait long for a new challenger to appear. Reika Saiki approached her in the ring to congratulate Yuu. Saiki called herself muscular, healthy and motivated so how about a title shot? Yuu accepted the challenge. She’s defending the belt but she’s going to treat the championship like it is hers to win!

joshi17-akai-martha

Fresh back from Paris, Saki Akai returned to Tokyo Joshi and this time she was accompanied by her faithful maid Martha. Miyu Yamashita did the polite thing and greeted Martha but it was clear she didn’t trust her. She was proven right to do so when Martha distracted the referee while Akai was in a Camel Clutch. Yamashita broke it to go after Martha but when she turned back Akai was there to do a Big Boot. Yamashita ducked and Martha took the boot to the face instead. Yamashita hit the Attitude Adjustment but only got a two count. Akai dodged the Crash Rabbit Heat and got the pin with the Two Step Face Kick. Akai played it off like the result was no big deal. She offered to help lift Yamashita back up to her feet but then she kicked her again. She told Tetsuya Koda to contact her later about appearing in a match on 21st January. She would like to team up with Martha for that match so Koda better go looking for their opponents.

joshi17-clown-candice

Mil Clown defeated the returning Candice LeRae, avenging her twin sister’s loss to the Canadian one year ago. At one point LeRae fought dirty by pushing Daisuke Kiso into the ropes to knock Clown off of the top turnbuckle. However Clown recovered and caught LeRae in the Mil Clutch α for the flash pin.

joshi17-towerbridge

Cheer♡1 and LinQ performed together after Match #2 but two of their members wrestled each other later in the show. Maki Itoh kicked Reika Saiki as often as she could but a Headbutt from Saiki slowed her down. Itoh kept trying to fight back until she was locked into the Tower Bridge and had to submit. Itoh was happy to wrestle in Korakuen Hall despite only having her debut match three weeks ago. She hopes pro wrestling will bring in more fans over to her idol career with LinQ. The group is going to reshuffle its members in June and she doesn’t want to get fired!

joshi17-wives

Love was in the air for Match #3. Joey Ryan & Laura James kissed each other and wished everyone a happy new year during their entrance. Then Inoue Mic & Ai Shimizu did the same. Ryan was there to be the referee and ring announcer Mic introduced Shimizu as his “beloved and unbelievably cute wife”. Their opponents Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko came armed with the premium New Year issue of Zexy Magazine. Ryan was biased towards his wife’s team but Nonoko did her best to seduce him during the match. When Takigawa was ready to use her magazine as a weapon both husbands ran to protect their wives. During the confusion Takigawa accidentally knocked out Nonoko with the magazine, Ryan put his lollipop into Takigawa’s mouth and Shimizu pinned her with the Fishergirl Suplex.

joshi17-momochi

Match #2 was changed from a Tag Team bout to a 3 Way Match when Akane Miura caught the flu and was taken off the show. The match also served as ring announcer Minami Momochi’s graduation from Tokyo Joshi. She received streamers from the crowd during the announcements. She also got involved in the match, helping Hyper Misao fight the demonic Maho Kurone. Momochi gave Kurone a Neckbreaker Drop and Misao then hit the I Am A Hero. However Rika Tatsumi took over the match and won when she put Kurone in the Dragon Sleeper.

joshi17-nodoka-cherry

Before Nodoka-oneesan took on her mentor Cherry in the opener, she invited Momochi to participate in Ping Pong Exercises with her one more time. When that was done Cherry came down but she did not want to go through the pre-match formalities. After the match though she embraced Nodoka and supported her for putting up a good fight.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Mike Bailey

Mike Bailey has built a lot of momentum in the last few months, winning the week long DNA Grand Prix tournament and now holding the KO-D Tag Team Titles with Konosuke Takeshita. His success has been rewarded even more with a KO-D Openweight Title shot at DDT’s first Korakuen Hall show in 2017.

Joey Ryan, Laura James and Candice LeRae will be on this show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’17”, 04/01/2017

3. Nodoka-oneesan Vs Cherry
4. Konsho-gun Vs Married Woman Army: Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko Vs Ai Shimizu & Laura James

6. Miyu Yamashita Vs Saki Akai
7. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Yuu (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima

One of the big rivalries in Tokyo Joshi Pro’s history will come back for a special match. Miyu Yamashita has never been able to beat Saki Akai one on one. Akai has shown no interest in having any future plans with Tokyo Joshi so this may be Yamashita’s last chance for now to get that win.

Hyper Misao has enlisted Rika Tatsumi and Minami Momochi to help her latest attempt to protect Tokyo Joshi from evil. It wasn’t long ago when Akane Miura was practising snake magic although she has shown no evil behaviour since returning to normal. Maho Kurone however is pretty much a zombie now. She’s always been acting weird since her debut match but yeah, carrying a severed arm to the ring while her mouth is covered in blood isn’t exactly being subtle. Momochi will be finishing up her role as Tokyo Joshi’s ring announcer at this show so what a way to go, getting involved in this creepy situation.

DDT “ROAD TO SUPER ARENA IN OYODO ~DRAMATIC DREAM TENROKU~”, 09/01/2017

*DAMNATION fails in V2. Shuten-dōji becomes the 27th KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Konosuke Takeshita & Mike Bailey (c) defeated Danshoku Dino & Keisuke Ishii when Bailey pinned Dino with the Shooting Star Double Knee Drop (24:00).
*V1 for Konosuke Takeshita & Mike Bailey.

As mentioned after yesterday’s show, Mike Bailey wanted nothing to do with Danshoku Dino in the main event. Dino chased him around ringside until Bailey had to fend him off with kicks. It wasn’t any better for Konosuke Takeshita, he missed a Lariat to Keisuke Ishii and hit his arm off the ring post. Dino & Ishii took advantage and worked over the arm. They tried a Go 2 Sleep style set up for the Danshoku Driver to Bailey but Takeshita cut them off. Takeshita countered Ishii’s Kneel Kick with a Lariat and that took him out of the match. Bailey secured the win with a Buzzsaw Kick to Dino followed by the Shooting Star Double Knee Drop. Bailey said after the match that his problem with Dino has nothing to do with his sexual preference. It’s because Dino keeps grabbing men’s crotches without their consent. Aside from that Bailey called him a good wrestler and “The No. 1 Gay”. With that out of the way Bailey then asked Amon Tsurumi for a request. He recently won the DNA Grand Prix and the KO-D Tag Team Titles so now he wants a shot at the KO-D Openweight Title! Tsurumi confirmed that the winner of HARASHIMA Vs Shigehiro Irie will face Bailey at Korakuen Hall on 3rd January with the title on the line!

It’s all falling apart for DAMNATION, they have now lost all of their championships! In the lead up to this match, Daisuke Sasaki said if DAMNATION lost the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles to Shuten-dōji then they should split up. Kota Umeda was at ringside using crutches to stand so he could cheer on his stablemates. Early in the match Sasaki grabbed Masahiro Takanashi’s legs from the apron and pulled him outside the ring. That led to a ringside brawl where Sasaki grabbed Umeda’s crutch and then hit him with it. The end came when Takanashi escaped Sasaki’s Vietnam Driver II. Sasaki fought off the Takatonic but was surprised when Takanashi switched to the Bacchus. That was enough for the three count and the title change! Sasaki was distraught by the result. DAMNATION has lost all of its championships in the space of a week and they deserve to be dissolved because of this! While Sasaki had a mental breakdown backstage, Shuji Ishikawa demanded the group get a rematch at Korakuen Hall on Christmas Day. Mad Paulie already has a match set for that show so Ishikawa will take his spot on the team. The new champions welcome the decision. Takanashi said Sasaki should go wash dishes for DDT’s restaurants if he loses again. As far as he is concerned, Sasaki owed a debt to Shuten-dōji when he lost and that debt was paid for with the 6-Man Tag Titles. If Sasaki loses again, he’ll owe Shuten-dōji another debt and he has nothing left that they want so he may as well start from zero like a rookie and do chores.

Shigehiro Irie was happy to play with his new friend Yoshihiro Takayama in Hakata! He has nothing to be afraid of because his new friend is big and strong! Takayama gave Irie his stamp of approval to be the next KO-D Champion! Together they yelled “No Fear!”

Maki Itoh was all business for her debut wrestling match. After watching Miyu Yamashita’s dance entrance she told her she wasn’t here to do the same. Itoh’s offence included Elbow Strikes, a Body Slam, a Dropkick and even a Headbutt. Yamashita defeated her with a Skewered Knee Strike followed by the Attitude Adjustment. Yamashita said she was happy to be back in her home city of Fukuoka and she was pleased with Itoh’s performance. Her true feelings were showcased in the ring because she worked hard. Yamashita also said from now on she and Itoh are rivals so they can have more exciting matches together in Fukuoka. Itoh admitted defeat but claims she has a cuter face than Yamashita.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “IN A CORNER OF A CITY CALLED KASUKABE”, 10/12/2016
Saitama Kasukabe Hall
187 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Akane Miura defeated Nodoka-oneesan with the Lariat (5:24).
2. I Also Want To Be In Love! This Year’s Christmas Will Also Be Special!: Rika Tatsumi & Hyper Misao defeated Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko when Tatsumi submitted Takigawa with the Zexy Dragon Sleeper (11:48).
3. Reika Saiki defeated Maho Kurone with the Tower Bridge (6:06).
4. ROAD TO “Ittenon” Special Tag Match: Yuu & Miyu Yamashita vs Shoko Nakajima & Mil Clown ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).

In a first for Tokyo Joshi Pro, the main event ended in a time limit draw. In the final seconds Yuu tried to put Shoko Nakajima in the Cross Armbreaker but could not sync it in when the time expired. Nakajima noted that she must be doing something wrong since she couldn’t win the match. Yuu told her she is looking forward to their match at Korakuen Hall on 4th January.

Saki Akai appeared after the main event to confront Miyu Yamashita. She told “Ms. Pelican” that they will have a match together at Korakuen. Akai wants to know how much Yamashita has changed since their last singles match. She also asked her to wash her face before the match. Yamashita said she will slash Akai down.

Maho Kurone is becoming more zombie like in her appearances. This time she entered the ring carrying a severed arm to chew on. Maki Itoh watched her future opponent Reika Saiki beat Kurone by submission.

Azusa Takigawa is building more and more of her matches around copies of Zexy magazine. She put a stack of issues together to use as a foreign object but that backfired when she hit Nonoko by mistake. She still held the magazine neatly in her arms when she tapped out to Rika Tatsumi’s Dragon Sleeper. Hyper Misao asked Tatsumi after the match to help her fight Akane Miura & Maho Kurone at Korakuen Hall. Misao called her opponents scary because one of them eats human meat and the other practised devil worship for a while. She also asked ring announcer Minami Momochi to help her preserve the peace in Tokyo Joshi as a special assistant. Konkatsu-gun’s plan for 4th January is to face Ai Shimizu & Laura James. It’s a battle between married women against women who want to get married!

142 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Konsho-gun 2nd Single Match: Nonoko defeated Maho Kurone with the Boinmaker (7:06).
2. Mil Clown & Hyper Misao defeated Yuu & Nodoka-oneesan when Clown pinned Nodoka with the Mil Clutch α (10:38).
3. Konsho-gun 2nd Single Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Azusa Takigawa with the Dragon Sleeper (8:14).
4. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title Next Challenger Survival 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Miyu Yamashita and Akane Miura (12:06).
4a. Shoko Nakajima eliminated Akane Miura with the Coax (7:48).
4b. Shoko Nakajima eliminated Miyu Yamashita with the Northern Lights Suplex (12:06).

Shoko Nakajima pinned both Akane Miura and Miyu Yamashita, absolutely earning her No. 1 Contendership for the TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title. Miura’s power was on display when she gave both her opponents a double Brainbuster but Nakajima recovered and cradled her for the three count. Yamashita kicked out of Nakajima’s Northern Light Suplex the first time but couldn’t hit the Attitude Adjustment. Nakajima then gave Yamashita a Double Arm DDT and a second Northern Lights to win the match. Nakajima said she’s been waiting for this opportunity for a year and this time she will not let go until she wins the championship. Yuu is encouraged by Nakajima’s determination. The champion wants a strong rival and it looks like she is going to get one!

Azusa Takigawa is really going in on the marriage thing. She entered her match wearing a wedding veil to a song called “Love Will Win”. Nonoko interfered with a copy of Zexy magazine to use as a weapon on Rika Tatsumi but it backfired. Nonoko accidentally hit Takigawa instead and that gave Tatsumi an opening to lock in the Dragon Sleeper. Takigawa’s plan for her next match is to buy the next issue of Zexy. Maybe she will stack the magazines together to make them thicker.

After losing again today, Nodoka-oneesan is feeling discouraged. She comes from the same class as Yuu but their levels of success could not be more opposite. She needs advice that can take her out of her slump so she challenged Cherry to a match at Korakuen Hall on 4th January. Cherry once told Nodoka that if she had any trouble or needed consulting about anything she would be there for her.

Mil Clown will take on Candice LeRae on 4th January. Mil’s sister Yuka Sakazaki fought and lost to LeRae at the last 4/1 show. Because of this, Clown sees LeRae as a family enemy.

1. Miyu Yamashita defeated Nodoka-oneesan with a Cobra Clutch (8:41).
2. Konsho-gun Full Scale Start Up! Love Kick Off!: Reika Saiki & Hyper Misao defeated Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko when Saiki pinned Takigawa with a Brainbuster (8:33).
3. Mil Clown defeated Maho Kurone with the Mil Clutch α (8:04).
4. Yuu & Shoko Nakajima defeated Akane Miura & Rika Tatsumi when Nakajima pinned Tatsumi with an Inside Cradle (13:17).

Simply getting the winning pinfall in the main event isn’t enough for Shoko Nakajima. She’s noticed that something has been missing from her career and that is a rival. A rival would give her the extra push needed to become the best so she challenged Yuu to a TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title match. However Akane Miura stepped in and said she knows she can beat Yuu and she wants to prove it at Korakuen Hall! Then Miyu Yamashita entered the conversation claiming to want the belt the most out of anyone. It was decided that a 3 Way Match between Nakajima, Miura and Yamashita will take place on 20th November to determine who faces Yuu for the title at Korakuen on 4th January.

Azusa Takigawa is hard at work looking for a fiance. She wants to get on Samurai! TV and Shukan Puroresu magazine to spread the message. Nonoko’s plan to help is to film a promotional DVD of Takigawa relaxing in a hot spring and then sell it on Amazon.

Maki Itoh Vs Reika Saiki is booked for the 4th Janaury show. Also announced to appear are Candice LeRae and Laura James.

1. Nonoko defeated Azusa Takigawa with the Boinmaker (7:30).
2. Muscle Idol Vs Back Bancho First Confrontation!: Reika Saiki & Nodoka-oneesan defeated Akane Miura & Maho Kurone when Saiki submitted Kurone with the Tower Bridge (9:07).
3. 3 Way Match: Mil Clown defeated Shoko Nakajima and Hyper Misao when Clown pinned Misao with the Mil Clutch α (5:35).
4. Marika Kobashi High School Exam Send-Off Match: Miyu Yamashita defeated Marika Kobashi with the Attitude Adjustment (11:30).
5. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Yuu (c) defeated Rika Tatsumi with the Katahajime (15:15).
*V1 for Yuu.

Yuu’s first defence of the TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title was successful but proved to be more of a challenge than she thought. Rika Tatsumi had only begun to win matches consistently in the last couple of months, leading to her getting a crack at the title. However she came prepared with her own focus on submissions to combat Yuu’s judo ability. While Tatsumi threw some Hip Attacks to knock back Yuu, she also targeted her leg with Dropkicks and Dragon Screws so she could apply an effective Figure Four Leg Lock. Yuu resisted this and applied the Katahajime for the submission victory. Yuu said she was really happy with the match because it brings her one step closer to defending the title on 4th January, the one year anniversary of her debut match.

Miyu Yamashita defeated Marika Kobashi in Kobashi’s final match for the time being. Kobashi will now prepare for her high school entry exams. Yamashita said she originally thought Kobashi was too young when she first began training due to how tough it is. However she was proven wrong and she is happy to be part of Kobashi’s send off. She then advised Kobashi to concentrate on her exams because they are terribly hard. Kobashi hopes to return if she passes the exams.

There’s been a theme running through all of the DDT family throughout 2016 and it is marriage. A lot of wrestlers and staff members have been getting married or at least engaged this year. Azusa Takigawa has noticed this and also noticed the wrestlers who have gotten married have also become stronger as a result. She interrupted the opening speeches so she could plead with the Genral Manager Tetsuya Koda to drop the “No relationships” rule from Tokyo Joshi Pro. Takigawa wants to go out matchmaking so she can find a husband, get married and become stronger! Koda told her now wasn’t the time to talk about this. Later when Takigawa had her match with Nonoko, Takigawa was put in a Scorpion Deathlock. Instead of reaching for the ropes Takigawa instead reached for a microphone so she could again plead to Koda to drop the “no relationships” rule while she was in the Scorpion Deathlock! After the match Nonoko was impressed by Takigawa’s passion. Not for wrestling but for finding a husband. Nonoko said she was a teenager until just recently (yeah right!) and she never imagined wanting to go matchmaking at Takigawa’s age. She wants to help Takigawa and offered to team with her in the ring. Takigawa accepted, together they will find the truth of love!

Maki Itoh from the idol group LinQ announced she will be wrestling for DDT on 11th December and after that will debut for Tokyo Joshi on 4th January. She is thrilled by her plans to do both idol work and wrestling. She also said she has great respect for Danshoku Dino. It was then revealed that Itoh’s opponent on 4th January will by Miyu Yamashita. According to Yamashita she has been keeping a close eye on Itoh’s training ever since it began back in July. She noticed Itoh has been working very hard so she is happy to be her first opponent in Tokyo Joshi. She asked Itoh to come at her at full force when they wrestle.

The literal doll faced ring announcer and “World’s First Animated Idol Chick” Minami Momochi recently revealed she will be graduating from Tokyo Joshi Pro on 4th January next year. She said over the last three and a half years she watched Tokyo Joshi and their wrestlers grow. She feels now is the time for herself to move on if she too wants to advance.

2. 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Azusa Takigawa and Maho Kurone when Nakajima pinned Takigawa with the Northern Lights Suplex (8:36).
3. Reika Saiki defeated Nonoko with a Camel Clutch (6:44).
4. Mil Clown defeated Hyper Misao with the Mil Clutch α (6:35).
5. Rika Tatsumi & Miyu Yamshita defeated Yuu & Nodoka Onee-san when Tatsumi pinned Nodoka with the Dragon Twist Of Fate (13:55).

Rika Tatsumi continues to build momentum for her TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title Match with Yuu. However Yuu didn’t take today’s tag team defeat well and continued fighting with Tatsumi & Miyu Yamashita after the match. When Yuu left ringside Tatsumi said she will return to Osaka as the champion.

Yuka Sakazaki’s twin sister from the Magic Country Mil Clown was victorious in her debut match. Her opponent Hyper Misao didn’t believe Clown was Sakazaki’s sister but instead was one of her enemies. This match would help Misao figure out if Clown is good or evil. Clown quickly showed her colours when she twisted Misao’s hand during a handshake. Clown used some rolling Lucha to win the match. Her teddy bear companion Kumaun spoke on her behalf in the post-match interview. Kumaun said Clown had fun but is getting used to being away from Magic Country. Clown can’t tell if she is good or evil in this land. It’s something she never had to worry about back home.

Just how strong is Reika Saiki? Well, so strong she can give a Brainbuster to Nonoko. She can also submit Nonoko with the Camel Clutch.

*Miyu Yamashita fails in V3. Yuu becomes the 2nd TOKYO Princess Of Princess Champion!

We have a new TOKYO Princess Of Princess Champion! After an almost 9 month reign as the first champion, Miyu Yamashita fell to her toughest challenge yet. In fact, the new champion Yuu had her debut match on the same show where Yamashita was crowned the first champion. Yamashita threw everything that she could from the Attitude Adjustment to a Cross Arm German Suplex to the Crash Rabbit Heat. But Yuu caught Yamashita in the Katahajime and squeezed the life out of her, winning the match by TKO. When Yamashita regained consciousness she hadn’t the energy to shake Yuu’s hand so she instead bumped Yuu’s shoulder with her fist in congratulations before being helped out of the ring. When Yuu received the title belt she said she was the absolute champion and now she wants to shine more. Rika Tatsumi entered the ring and congratulated Yuu. But she also threw out a challenge. Tatsumi said she has recently become stronger and a championship to go along with her new success would be cool. Yuu accepted the challenge but warned Tatsumi that Yamashita thought she was invincible. Now look what happened to her.

It is now time for KANNA to say farewell to Tokyo Joshi Pro. She was one of the first trainees for the promotion but decided to call time on her wrestling career to become a rapper. For her final match she was reunited with Saki Akai and Ai Shimizu to reform the posh Biishiki-gun group for one night only. Akai was misinformed and thought KANNA was going off to do musicals in Broadway. She prefers the orchestra to rap. Biishiki-gun won their match when Akai gave Shoko Nakajima a PK from the apron, Shimizu gave Akane Miura a Tornado DDT and KANNA got the pin on Maho Kurone with the Spear Of Versailles. Akai told KANNA after the match she was a rose in full bloom. The rest of the roster gave her bouquets and said their goodbyes. Yamashita said she didn’t want to cry before her match but after spending four years training and wrestling with KANNA she was sad to see her leave. KANNA thanked everyone for supporting her and wished herself luck on travelling down a new road.

While Tatsumi is gaining confidence with her win today, her opponent Yuka Sakazaki was distraught over losing. Sakazaki couldn’t muster up the enthusiasm to speak in the ring, called herself weak and left feeling upset. All she said in a backstage interview is after all her training leading up to today she just feels like a useless child.

Tokyo Joshi Pro will hold their second show in Korakuen Hall on 4th January, 2017! Yuu’s goal is to stay as the champion and sell out the show for her one year anniversary.
