1. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo when Kiryu pinned Miyamoto with the Spinebuster (9:38).
2. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko when Watanabe pinned Neko with the Tear Drop (10:56).
3. Miyu Yamashiya, Maki Itoh, Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Hikari Noa, Sena Shiori, Mirai Maiumi & Suzume when Nakajima pinned Suzume with the Northern Lights Suplex (9:08).
4. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Marika Kobashi & Raku when Sakisama submitted Kobashi with the Versailles Foot Choke (11:25).
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki when Tenma pinned Mizuki with the Killswitch (13:09).

The Bakuretsu Sisters have one goal on their minds in the “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament. They want to cement their status as THE tag team in Tokyo Joshi Pro’s entire existence. The current Princess Tag Team Champions are on track to prove it by eliminating The Magical Sugar Rabbits in the first round! Nodoka Tenma asked for some time to rest but Yuki Aino reminded her that Round 2 takes place tomorrow.

Mei Saint-Michel went into today’s show still depressed over experiencing her first defeat. She cheered herself up by copying Marika Kobashi & Raku’s mannerisms and told Sakisama she is okay after they won their match. Mei’s attempts at doing Kobashi’s Gal poses annoyed Sakisama, who thinks they are vulgar. Later backstage something ominous happened. Sakiama’s rose fell apart in her hands during her post-match interview. She thinks it’s a sign that a storm is coming tonight. What could that storm be?

The tournament is a chance for the lower level wrestlers to step up but Rika Tatsumi thinks her opponents failed to do that today. She wanted Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko to come at Daydream with enough momentum to break them but Tatsumi was left disappointed. Miu Watanabe expected them to have more unique attacks than just sneaker kicks and nail scratching. On the bright side, at least the result showed that Daydream are still a powerful force together.

Yuki Kamifuku celebrates her birthday today by advancing to Round 2 with Mahiro Kiryu. Kamifuku’s advice to her tag partner is to look beyond just winning the Max Heart tournament. Everyone in the tournament is thinking about winning so their goal should be to gain Max popularity!

Tomorrow’s Round 2 matches are Daydream Vs Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh, Toyo University Tag Vs Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori, Bakuretsu Sisters Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao and NEO Biishiki-gun Vs BeeStar. Everyone who lost in the 1st Round today are being thrown into an 8-Woman Tag Match.

Akiyama Joins DDT, Max Heart 1st Rounds, Watase Injured, Ueno Can’t Decide

February 15, 2021

Today a press conference was held by CyberFight to give some big news for DDT and NOAH. On the DDT side, Jun Akiyama has signed a one year full time contract with DDT. On the NOAH side, Keiji Muto has signed a two year contract with NOAH. President Sanshiro Takagi said the signings were made because he believes these two treasures will be the driving force behind CyberFight becoming No. 1 in the pro wrestling world. Takagi originally asked Akiyama to join DDT back in January after having conversations with All Japan at the end of last year. Akiyama held off on making a deal because of his knee surgery and asked to wait until after “KAWASAKI STRONG 2021” to make a decision. As soon as the main event was done and the show was over, Akiyama accepted Takagi’s offer to become DDT’s head coach. Akiyama knew of the risks involved and wants to put everything he has into DDT. Naomichi Marufuji believes Muto’s starpower is important to help make NOAH become a global company. He also has a strong sense of responsibility towards the company after becoming the GHC Heavyweight Champion. Muto said as long as NOAH has the No. 1 wrestler in the industry, CyberFight needs to become the No. 1 organization as well.

1. Team Red Vs Team White

The next Tokyo Joshi Pro PPV will be a team challenge with 12 women on Team Red facing 12 women on Team White. The winning team receives an All You Can Eat voucher for the Genghis Khan Kirishima restaurant which is sponsoring the show. The PPV will not be held in front of an audience but it will be at a venue TJPW has never been to before.

DDT “DAY DREAM BELIEVER 2021”, 14/03/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT UNIVERSAL TITLE: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs X

There are so many people Yuki Ueno wants to defend the DDT UNIVERSAL Title against that he can’t decide who to pick next. He’s on the lookout for somebody to get his attention.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2021 ~DDT 24TH ANNIVERSARY~”, 28/03/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Openweight Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi

There are only two wrestlers who have beaten Akiyama in DDT so far. Tetsuya Endo and Kazusada Higuchi. Akiyama got his win back from Endo yesterday and he won’t consider himself a deserving KO-D Openweight Champion until he avenges his embarrassing defeat to Higuchi. So that’s the main event of the 24th Anniversary show set.

There has only been one person who has given backlash to Akiyama’s coaching in DDT. Danshoku Dieno doesn’t like the way Akiyama sees pro wrestling which is understandable given how much Dieno has represented DDT in the past. Akiyama welcomes the criticism and invites Dieno to show him his point of view. But he also warns that as head coach he won’t let members of the roster rebel against him just for the sake of it.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “POSITIVE CHAIN” Results

February 11, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “POSITIVE CHAIN”, 11/02/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
507 Fans

1. Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko defeated Marika Kobashi & Moka Miyamoto when Harajuku pinned Miyamoto wit the Pom Do Justice (7:11).
2. Yuna Manase, Nao Kakuta & Raku defeated Hikari Noa, Mahiro Kiryu & Sena Shiori when Raku pinned Shiori with the Doctor Yellow (7:25).
3. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Sakazaki pinned Endo with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (12:54).
4. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel when Itoh pinned Saint-Michel with the Flying Big Head (16:54).
5. International Princess Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) defeated Mirai Maiumi with the Diving Fame Asser (9:46).
*V1 for Yuki Kamifuku.
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino (c) defeated Shin Ultra Shoko & Hyper Misao when Aino pinned Shoko with the UBV (13:28).
*V2 for The Bakuretsu Sisters.
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) defeated Miu Watanabe with the Missile Hips (18:18).
*V1 for Rika Tatsumi.

The Daydream showdown marked Rika Tatsumi’s first defence of the Princess Of Princess Title. She survived a Top Rope Canadian Backbreaker Drop from Miu Watanabe then countered the Tear Drop into the Twist Of Fate. From there Tatsumi hit Watanabe with Hip Attacks until she got the pin with the Missile Hips. Tatsumi thought she was going to be too strong for Watanabe but that didn’t happen at all. She thinks that is amazing and thanked Watanabe for fighting her. She will continue to support Watanabe building the bridge between idols and pro wrestling. Tatsumi also has a dream and that is to make Tokyo Joshi Pro bigger. The two of them agreed to continue teaming together as Daydream and they will enter the “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament beginning later this month.

A big battle requires big armour. The Tokyo Joshingers arrived for their Princess Tag Team Titles match wearing new combat suits which left the referee Yukinori Matsui looking confused. The Bakuretsu Sisters tore the armour off to start the match. Yuki Aino cut off Shin Ultra Shoko by pulling her down by her cloak. Shoko freed herself from the cloak and wiped out the Sisters outside the ring with a Suicide Dive. Hyper Misao followed up by throwing a dislodged piece of her Combat Bicycle at them. The challengers had their chance but Aino suddenly countered Shoko’s Northern Lights Suplex into the Venus DDT. She then finished her off with the UBV for the three count. Backstage after the match, Shoko said she will entrust Misao and The Bakuretsu Sisters to protect the world while she returns to the stars. Her month as a superhero has ended and Shoko Nakajima will return. She also wants the Sisters to have her mask while she is gone. Misao is sad to see Shin Ultra Shoko leave already but she still wants to team with Nakajima for the Max Hearts Tournament. Nodoka Tenma promises to win the tournament so everyone will remember The Bakuretsu Sisters as TJPW’s number one tag team.

Sadly for Mirai Maiumi, the Miramare Shock did not happen today. She was all ready for it too with a new look. Yuki Kamifuku had something new of her own to show off, a new entrance song. Kamifuku kicked away Maiumi’s custom steel case made for today’s match and even closed it over her opponent’s head for added insult. Maiumi trapped Kamifuku in the Miramare submission but Kamifuku found ways to get out of it. She ended up winning with two Fame Assers, one from the second rope. Maiumi wonders if Kamifuku delivered her own Miramare Shock before the match even happened. She kept making fun of Maiumi’s rural background and all it did was make Maiumi notice things about her that she never noticed before. Maiumi promises she will deliver the Miramare Shock some day and when she does, everyone will be seeing a new Mirai Maiumi. Kamifuku said was a little worried because her opponent today has a lot more passion for pro wrestling than she does. Mirai watches a lot of famous wrestling matches and copies what she sees. Kamifuku doesn’t want to be a parody so she put more effort into her entire package today so she would win as herself instead of an imitation. She thinks it is better to show your attitude than to talk. A shock happens on its own, it is not something you can force.

The Max Hearts Tournament is on the minds of everyone in TJPW. A lot of the results were signs of intent from the women towards winning the whole thing. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh made their message loud and clear with a big victory over NEO Biishiki-gun. No amount of cheating with roses and silver platters could stop them. Yamashita wiped out Sakisama with the Skull Kick while Itoh pinned Mei Saint-Michel with the Flying Big Head, handing Saint-Michel her first loss in TJPW. Even though Itoh ultimately wants to beat Yamashita someday, she sees they make a good team together. Yamashita agrees. It’s a mystery how their styles are so different but still fit each other. Yamashita is also pleased she won a match against Sakisama. She knows she will beat her in a singles match when the time comes.

The Magical Sugar Rabbits are trying out a new move called the Yukacchi Bomb but they haven’t quite figured it out yet. It involves Mizuki doing a Sunset Flip on Yuka Sakazaki and they both land on top of their opponents to pin them. However the move also does damage to Sakazaki which makes her lift her shoulders and weakens the pinning attempt. Still, Mizuki wants to continue working on the move because it is good for them to keep challenging themselves. It’s a good thing that the experiment didn’t cost them the match because Suzume & Arisu Endo threw everything they had at them. Suzume got Mizuki out of the ring for Endo to finish Sakazaki off. But Sakazaki fought back and got the win with the Magical Merry-Go-Round.

Hikari Noa came out of her match wanting to face Nao Kakuta more often. She also wants a singles match against Yuna Manase. Both Mahiro Kiryu & Sena Shiori were disappointed they’re not at a stong enough level yet to show off their growth to Manase. Raku however was at her happiest. She won the match and got to do it in front of her two “older sisters”. Since Manase is working so hard over in Ganbare☆Pro she keeps thinking she has nothing left to do in TJPW. But there’s more to wrestling than big matches so whenever she can use her connections for a TJPW booking, she’ll look forward to being there.

Last time in Korakuen Hall, the team of Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko lost to Moka Miyamoto. Today they got their win back against her. Neko got rid of Marika Kobashi with the Codebreaker leaving Harajuku to get the win with the Pom Do Justice. The pair want to team up for the Max Hearts Tournament with the team name Harunyan.

TJPW will have a show in for a women only audience at Itabashi Green Hall on 4th April. They originally planned to do the concept a year ago but it had to be cancelled because of the pandemic.

Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
107 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Yuki Kamifuku, Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Yuki Aino, Raku & Moka Miyamoto when Kamifuku pinned Miyamoto with the Fame Asser (10:26).
2. Nodoka Tenma defeated Hyper Misao (w/ Shin Ultra Shoko) with the Killswitch (5:58).

4. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Nao Kakuta & Haruna Neko when Itoh submitted Neko with a Crab Hold (10:08).
5. Rika Tatsumi, Hikari Noa & Marika Kobashi defeated Miu Watanabe, Mahiro Kiryu & Pom Harajuku when Tatsumi submitted Kiryu with the Dragon Sleeper (12:18).

It is eleven days to go until Tokyo Joshi Pro returns to Korakuen Hall. For Rika Tatsumi her goal today was to stay in good condition alongside Hikari Noa & Marika Kobashi. She thanked everyone for attending as well as thanked the viewers around the world who watched the live stream on Youtube. Her show closing line was “ALL YOU NEED IS TJPW!”

NEO Biishiki-gun ambushed Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh in the ring after their match. Itoh was on the microphone telling everyone how strong she and Yamashita are after their Ittenyon death battle when Mei Saint-Michel hit her from behind with her serving tray. Yamashita threw a High Kick but Saint-Michel blocked it with the tray and Sakisama hit Yamashita with a rose for added insult. Sakisama said Yamashita & Itoh will kneel down in front of them at Korakuen. She dared them to resist their fate because they aren’t even the appetizer for NEO Biishiki-gun’s main course. Saint-Michel started complaining about a bad smell in the room and Sakisama told her it was the scent of pork coming from Yamashita & Itoh.

While Shin Ultra Shoko is still recovering, Hyper Misao informed everyone that superheroes have many secret weapons at their disposal. Shoka brought one along today and revealed it was a big sword. She then became upset when Daisuke Kiso told her using it would be disqualify Misao. Shoko still told Misao to hold it during the match as a talisman. Late in the match Nodoka Tenma grabbed the sword and Misao tried to fake being attacked so Kiso would DQ Tenma. Instead Tenma snapped the sword in half over her knee and pinned Misao with the Killswitch. Tenma felt bad afterward for breaking the sword because she wanted it for herself.

BASARA 5th Anniversary Tomorrow, Itoh Challenges NEO Biishiki-gun, Endo Vs Hagane

January 19, 2021

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Ryuichi Sekine Vs Ryota Nakatsu
2. Dragon Contra Dragon: Gouma Ryu Vs Trans-Am ★ Ryuji
3. Yusuke Kubo, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato Vs Naoki Tanizaki, SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa
4. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino Vs Minoru Fujita & Ikuto Hidaka
5. Fuminori Abe Vs Yasu Urano
6. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) Vs Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura
7. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs FUMA

BASARA celebrates its 5th anniversary tomorrow. Takumi Tsukamoto and FUMA were two of the wrestlers who main evented the promotion’s debut show. The others from that match were Isami Kodaka (in the IRON FIST Tag Titles match) and Daichi Kazato (in Match #3).

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “POSITIVE CHAIN”, 11/02/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Marika Kobashi & Moka Miyamoto Vs Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko
2. Yuna Manase, Nao Kakuta & Raku Vs Hikari Noa, Mahiro Kiryu & Sena Shiori
3. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
4. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel
5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino (c) Vs Shin Ultra Shoko & Hyper Misao
6. International Princess Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) Vs Mirai Maiumi
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

A peculiar challenge awaits The Bakuretsu Sisters. Their second Princess Tag Team Titles defence is against a team made up of former champions when they were under different personas. Shoko Nakajima was one of the first champions but she is Shin Ultra Shoko this month. Hyper Misao was a champion but that was when she discarded her superhero form in search for power. How will they fare as a superpowered duo?

A hot headed Maki Itoh demanded a handicap match against NEO Biishiki-gun. It was refused for being too unfair for her. She had to drag Miyu Yamashita into the scene to get it accepted as a tag match instead. Yamashita doesn’t have a good record against Sakisama so a chance to even the score is motivation for her while Itoh gets to scrap with Mei Saint-Michel.

DDT “DAMNATION ILLEGAL ASSEMBLY RETURNS VOL. 3”, 19/02/2021
Shinjuku FACE

1. 45 Year Olds Gathering: Shuji Ishikawa & Tanomusaku Toba Vs Toru Owashi & Yasu Urano
2. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Hiroshi Yamato Vs HUB & Yasutaka Oosera
3. Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo Vs Hagane Shinno

There’s no DAMNATION mutiny to ruin the planning of the show this time. Hagane Shinno made it clear during his Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title run that that he wants to fight wrestlers worth his time while his career is in its twilight period. Tetsuya Endo should fit the bill quite nicely.

January 16, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2021 WINTER ~LOVERS~”, 16/01/2021
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall
147 Fans

1. Maki Itoh defeated Arisu Endo with a Crab Hold (8:08).
2. Shin Ultra Shoko & Hyper Misao defeated Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto when Misao pinned Miyamoto with the Hypami Returns (7:16).
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Pom Harajuku defeated Mirai Maiumi & Sena Shiori when Kamifuku pinned Shiori with the Fame Asser (8:57).

5. Rika Tatsumi, Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Miu Watanabe, Hikari Noa & Raku when Tatsumi pinned Noa with the Missile Hip (13:50).

Rika Tatsumi noted today was the first time she teamed with The Magical Sugar Rabbits since the Osaka Sannin Matsuri trios tournament one year ago.

The Tokyo Joshingers confronted The Bakuretsu Sisters and challenged them to a match. Shin Ultra Shoko said if the Sisters are the sun setting, then the Joshingers are the sun rising. She wants proof that the Sisters have the strength to keep peace in Tokyo Joshi Pro so they should put the Princess Tag Team Titles on the line. Nodoka Tenma pointed out that Shin Ultra Shoko is only around for a month but Shoko told her not to worry about the details. They agreed to have the title match at the 11th February Korakuen Hall show.

After winning her match, Maki Itoh demanded to fight NEO Biishiki-gun in a 2 Vs 1 Handicap Match at Korakuen. Tetsuya Koda would not agree to it and there was no response from NEO Biishiki-gun to accept the challenge. When she calmed down backstage, Itoh found Miyu Yamashita eating gummies and told her to team up so Koda would book the match as a tag bout.

*Yuka Sakazaki fails in V5. Rika Tatsumi becomes the 8th Princess Of Princess Champion!

The White Dragon seizes the white crown! Rika Tatsumi was the only active wrestler from year one of Tokyo Joshi Pro to have never won the Princess Of Princess Title. Today she finally became the champion by beating the dominant Yuka Sakazaki. The White Dragon Sleeper was countered into a Cradle nearfall that almost led to Tatsumi’s demise. But fortune was on her side when she rolled out of the way of the Magical Girl Niwatori Yaro. Sakazaki hurt her legs on the landing so Tatsumi used a series of Dragon Screws to set up a Figure 4 Leg Lock. Sakazaki tried to escape but ended up back in the hold and eventually fainted. Daisuke Kiso ruled the match in favour of Tatsumi, making her the new champion!

When Sakazaki recovered she shook Tatsumi’s hand and hugged her. Tatsumi got on the microphone and talked about all the times she challenged for the title and failed. There is a lot going on in the world but she hopes Tokyo Joshi can be a source of hope for everyone just like it is for her. She wants to defend the belt until the day she dies! Miu Watanabe congratulated her Daydream partner and then challenged her for the title. She grew so much from teaming with Tatsumi. This year she wants to surpass her. Tatsumi is happy that Watanabe is her first challenger and she wants the match to happen on the 11th February Korakuen Hall show. Backstage, Tatsumi repeated her goal to defend the belt until she dies. Except she can’t die because dragons are immortal. She’ll live for 100 years and even if she does end up retiring, it will be as the champion. Even then she will continue defending the belt for a century!

The Bakuretsu Sisters defeated Toyo University Tag in their first Princess Tag Team Titles defence. Yuki Aino blocked Yuki Kamifuku’s Fame Asser and held her up for Nodoka Tenma to complete the Bakuretsu Bulldog. Mahiro Kiryu tried to give Tenma the Spinebuster but it was blocked and turned into a Fall Away Slam. Tenma then hit the Killswitch for the pin. The champions were asked if it is more difficult defending the titles than it was winning them? Tenma wants to keep trying and find new ways to challenge herself. Aino said attacks are the best defence.

Coming up with a new move didn’t change a thing for Maki Itoh’s singles record against Miyu Yamashita. She locked in the Itoh Royal after countering the Crash Rabbit Heat but this time Yamashita kicked out of it. Itoh went for the Itoh Deluxe but Yamashita used Headbutts to avoid the move. Itoh Headbutted her back and got knocked down with a High Kick in return. Itoh gave Yamashita the middle finger when she stood back up so she got knocked out with the Skull Kick. Yamashita stuck out her fist to Itoh after the match. Everyone expected Itoh to stick out her middle finger again but she bumped fists instead. Yamashita said she doesn’t know what will happen this year but she would like to wrestle overseas as soon as possible if it is allowed.

To the surprise of no one, NEO Biishiki-gun continues to look down on their opponents. They had Sena Shiori beaten with the Tarte Tatin but Hikari Noa broke the pin. She tried to turn the match around until Sakisama got rid of her with an Apron PK. Mei Saint-Michel then trapped Shiori in the Saint-Michel submission hold to tap her out. Sakisama called today’s win a beautiful victory. Saint-Michel spoke about the Chinese zodiac and told her master this year is the year of the ox. Sakisama doesn’t care because the world is all about her. Saint-Michel then told her she found a restaurant that specializes in cow meat that they should try. It’s called Yoshinoya! Sakisama never heard of it but requested a reservation right away.

Raku convinced Aja Kong to join in the Goodnight Express. That’s the most important thing to know about this match. But give it up to their opponents, they all tried to step up to Kong. Watanabe attempted the Canadian Backbreaker but couldn’t get her up. Kong grabbed her metal can and hit both Watanabe & Nao Kakuta with it. Mirai Maiumi though blocked Kong’s attack and took her down with a Lariat. Mizuki got rid of Maiumi with a Diving Body Attack to the outside but no one was there to stop Watanabe pinning Raku with the Tear Drop.

One year ago, Shoko Nakajima beat Hyper Misao in a match where the loser had to change their name for one month. Revenge is sweet! In the rematch both women were supposed to be connected together with a red and white rope. That proved to be difficult so they tried to wrestle around it. 100 capsules were attached to the top ropes with 10 of them containing prizes. The first person to find two of the prizes will win. The fight degenerated into a ringside brawl, a tug of war, a kaiju toy fight and then just a scramble to find the capsule prizes. They kept finding empty capsule until they both got one a piece. Nakajima went for the 619 but Misao dodged it and tied up her opponent’s arms and legs with the rope. With Misao unable to move, Misao kept opening the remaining capsules until she finally found her second prize to win the match. Misao will announce Nakajima’s new name at the next show. Nakajima tried to protest the result because the rope kept breaking on them. The result stands. Nakajima hopes her new name will be something like Shin Shoko Nakajima instead of something ridiculous.

Yuna Manase stepped in to replace Marika Kobashi on short notice when Kobashi tested positive for the Coronavirus and was pulled from the show on New Year’s Day. Manase was able to take charge and win the match for her and Moka Miyamoto. After her time away, Manase did notice some growth from her opponents. She understands Pom Harajuku has come up with new ways to sneak her kicks on opponents. And Haruna Neko is on the offensive more than ever. Miyamoto was happy to be on the winning side at the start of the year. She will use this as motivation to win her first match by herself.

The debut match for Arisu Endo saw her put Suzume in a Camel Clutch. Suzume used the ropes to give Endo a Facebuster and then hit the Ring A Bell for the victory. Endo said she was nervous before the match but once she stood in the ring she enjoyed being there. She repeated her goal to become energetic and strong like Reika Saiki.

Full TJPW Card For 4th January

December 18, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’21”, 04/01/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Marika Kobashi & Moka Miyamoto Vs Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko
2. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
3. Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel Vs Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori
4. Aja Kong, Mizuki & Raku Vs Miu Watanabe, Nao Kakuta & Mirai Maiumi
5. Arisu Endo Debut Match: Suzume Vs Arisu Endo
6. Miyu Yamashita Vs Maki Itoh
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi

The main event has a lot going for it. Yuka Sakazaki and Rika Tatsumi have known each other for years, even before they began training to be pro wrestlers. Seven years ago Sakazaki convinced Tatsumi to go train together so she is a special person in Tatsumi’s life. But for this match Tatsumi sees Sakazaki only as the Princess Of Princess Champion. Tatsumi wants to defeat “The Magical Girl who resembles Fudo Myoo” so she can transform from a White Dragon into a Dragon God!

According to the Toyo University Combo, their bond is more stronger than those between sisters. Yuki Kamifuku thinks she and Mahiro Kiryu are more like clones of the Toyo University founder Inoue Enryo’s daughter! The Bakuretsu Sisters don’t just want to make memories out of their Princess Tag Team Titles reign. They want to defend the belts as much as they can because it took them so long to win them.

Two years ago, Maki Itoh failed to beat Miyu Yamashita in the Ittenyon main event. It was a poor performance that at the time left her traumatized. Now she realizes it was not a setback but valuable experience. When she sticks up her middle finger it is a sign of confidence and determination. Itoh’s middle finger cannot be broken! Yamashita thinks this is a Tokyo Joshi Pro match that can appeal to the world. She’s letting Itoh do the talking now. When they get in the ring Yamashita will show her what she’s really got.

Arisu Endo is a 22 years old from Fukushima and is 150cm tall. She became a pro wrestler because she loves wrestling but is nervous to have her debut match. Endo’s favourite wrestler is Reika Saiki and she wants to become as cool as her. Suzume is looking forward to see what kind of wrestler Endo will be so she is happy to be her debut opponent.

Aja Kong is back! Mizuki is honored to team with her. Raku’s wrestling career is currently three years old. She thinks three year olds still need to take naps so she will do so. Miu Watanabe sees this match as a bridge between idols and pro wrestling. Nao Kakuta’s goal for 2021 is to win a championship so a win here will give her momentum. Mirai Maiumi wants to show the kind of brilliance in Korakuen Hall that only she can.

Sena Shiori has been frustrated by losing to NEO Biishiki-gun over and over since the unit returned and turned their attention to her. There’s nothing she can’t do with Hikari Noa which is why she thinks they can win. Noa is surprised she gets to team with Shiori in Korakuen so quickly. She wants to help her win her first match because it will happen on the first anniversary of Shiori’s debut.

In a rematch from last year’s Ittenyon, Shoko Nakajima and Hyper Misao will face off again. Last time the loser had to change their name for a month. Misao beat Misao and renamed her Akemi Daredasore. Misao has changed her name a few times in her career, even her private one because she recently got married but she hasn’t forgotten about that match. Which is why she wants the same stipulation for the rematch and have it become an annual gimmick for the Ittenyon show! Nakajima accepts the challenge because she has very few things to protect. She believes the more things a person needs to protect, the more weaknesses they have.

The opening match is between the two youngest generations in Tokyo Joshi. Marika Kobashi will be celebrating her 5th anniversary of her debut. Moka Miyamoto thinks she is the exact opposite of Kobashi but they can do their best as a tag team of active college students. Haruna Neko isn’t bothered by who is her juniors or seniors in the match. She just wants to win. Pom Harajuku felt she wasn’t able to work hard in 2020 so she wants to get 2021 off on the right track with a victory.

The live broadcast of the show will have separate streams. ABEMA will host the local broadcast with Haruo Murata and Sayoko Mita on commentary. WRESTLE UNIVERSE will provide live English commentary for the first time with Mark Pickering and Stewart Fulton on the headsets.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’20 ~WOMM (WRESTLING OF MY MIND)~” Results

December 6, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’20 ~WOMM (WRESTLING OF MY MIND)~”, 06/12/2020
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Mirai Maiumi defeated Haruna Neko with the Back Drop (6:15).
2. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Nao Kakuta defeated Maki Itoh, Pom Harajuku & Suzume when Tatsumi submitted Suzume with the White Dragon Sleeper (11:45).
3. Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Sena Shiori & Moka Miyamoto when Sakisama submitted Miyamoto with the Versailles Foot Choke (13:00).
4. Shoko Nakajima, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Miyu Yamashita, Marika Kobashi & Hikari Noa when Aino pinned Kobashi with the Venus DDT (12:23).
5. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Hyper Misao & Raku when Mizuki pinned Raku with the Cutie Special (10:08).
6. International Princess Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Fame Asser (11:45).
*V1 for Yuki Kamifuku.

Yuki Kamifuku came close to losing the International Princess Title in her first defence. When she went for the Fame Asser, Mahiro Kiryu caught her in the Spinebuster for a nearfall. Kamifuku used a Dropkick to regain control and hit the Fame Asser on the second attempt to get the win. After the match Kiryu said she was disappointed because she fought with all of her might and still lost. Kamifuku told her to continue working hard then asked if she still has other goals to fight for. Kiryu brought up the time they were supposed to team together to go after the Princess Tag Team Titles but Kamifuku had to pull out with an injury. Kamifuku apologised and Kiryu asked her if they could team up again. Kamifuku agreed and called out The Bakuretsu Sisters to challenge them for the belts. The Sisters walked out and immediately accepted. Nodoka Tenma said she always wanted to fight them and Yuki Aino could really feel the spirit coming out of Kamifuku and Kiryu. The champions want the match to happen at Korakuen Hall on 4th January! The challengers said their connection through Toyo University is like a brotherhood so the title match will be a battle between brothers and sisters!

Hyper Misao entered the ring for her match carrying a cooking pot. Now that she is married she has another dream she wants to achieve. She wants to be an assitant on a cooking show. Raku took the pot to demonstrate a 30 second hamburger steak recipe she knows because The Magical Sugar Rabbits love hamburger steak. When she finished, Misao opened the pot to reveal a can of cold spray was inside and she sprayed her opponents’ faces with it.

A serving tray is the new secret weapon behind NEO Biishiki-gun’s success. Mei Saint-Michel used it to block Moka Miyamoto’s attacks and then placed it behind Daisuke Kiso for him to slip on so she and Sakisama could do use more illegal tactics while he was down. Sena Shiori tried to save Miyamoto but the rookies were dealt with a loss at the end. NEO Biishiki-gun played innocent and acted concerned about the “accidents” that happened throughout the match.

The Magical Sugar Rabbits Vs Daydream was announced for 12th December.
