January 19, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 146 ~5TH ANNIVERSARY~”, 20/01/2021
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.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2021 WINTER ~LOVERS~” Results

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).
4. Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Haruna Neko defeated Nao Kakuta, Marika Kobashi & Suzume when Aino pinned Suzume with the Venus DDT (15:07).
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.

*V1 for The Bakuretsu Sisters.
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuka Sakazaki (c) by Referee Stoppage with a Figure 4 Leg Lock (19:22).
*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.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “2020 FINAL ROUND ~I HOPE THERE ARE LOTS OF HAPPY AND FUN THINGS TO DO NEXT YEAR~” Results

December 26, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “2020 FINAL ROUND ~I HOPE THERE ARE LOTS OF HAPPY AND FUN THINGS TO DO NEXT YEAR~”, 26/12/2020
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Marika Kobashi defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Front Neck Lock (5:04).
2. Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori defeated Nao Kakuta & Haruna Neko when Noa pinned Neko with the Uranage (7:44).
3. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Raku & Suzume when Nakajima pinned Suzume with the Northern Lights Suplex (11:58).
4. Miu Watanabe & Mirai Maiumi defeted Mizuki & Pom Harajuku when Watanabe pinned Harajuku with the Tear Drop (10:26).
5. Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls: Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Maki Itoh (2) defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Miyu Yamashita (1).
5a. Nodoka Tenma pinned Mahiro Kiryu with the Killswitch (6:28).
5b. Maki Itoh pinned Miyu Yamashita with the Itoh Royal (5:26).
5c. Rika Tatsumi pinned Nodoka Tenma with the Missile Hips (6:03).

Today was the final Tokyo Joshi Pro show of 2020. The big finale was a 2 out of 3 falls 8-Woman Tag Match. On one side was the Princess Of Princess Champion, the Princess Tag Team Champions and the woman who has been with TJPW since day one. On the other side was their Korakuen Hall opponents including the International Princess Champion. In the first fall Maki Itoh immediately called out Miyu Yamashita to start the match with her. The Bakuretsu Sisters took care of Toyo University Tag when Yuki Aino Side Suplexed Yuki Kamifuku and Nodoka Tenma pinned Mahiro Kiryu with the Killswitch to win the fall.

In the 2nd fall, Rika Tatsumi got the hot tag to swing momentum her team’s way. The match went back to Yamashita versus Itoh. Yamashita went for the Crash Rabbit Heat but Itoh countered it into a Crab Hold. Yamashita tried rolling out of it until Itoh crossed her legs in a Cloverleaf position. But instead of going for the Itoh Deluxe, she instead used a Jackknife to pin Yamashita for the three count! The Cloverleaf Jackknife has now been named the Itoh Royal.

The final fall saw Yuka Sakazaki jump in to face Tatsumi. She avoided the White Dragon Sleeper and countered the Twist Of Fate into a Northern Lights Bomb before tagging out to Tenma. Tatsumi got the better of Tenma after all the wrestlers got involved in a scramble. The Toyo University Tag used a Big Boot/Spinebuster combo on Tenma and Tatsumi pinned her with the Missile Hips to win the deciding fall.

Tatsumi credited everyone’s teamwork for their win today and promised to carry the momentum going to Ittenyon. She will turn everything upside down and become the new Princess Title! Sakazaki understands Tatsumi wants to make a fresh start in the new year but Sakazaki hasn’t done enough to make up for all the missed opportunities from this year. She cannot let Tatsumi win the title off her because she still wants to defend it in 2021. She has been through a lot this year but it has not been all negative. This year she established a bond with the audience and she can feel the love from everyone who took the time to come see her wrestle during such a difficult time.

TJPW’s second PPV on OPENREC.tv will take place on 30th January as Twin Box AKIHABARA. That is the venue where the very first TJPW training shows took place before they went into full event production. It will be eight years to the date when the show takes place which is why the PPV name “STARTING POINT” is very fitting. Just like in the old days, matches will happen on a mat instead of a ring and there will be musical performances from an idol group (TBA) before the matches.

DDT “ATSUSHI ONITA VS KURO-CHAN! CHRISTMAS FINAL BATTLE! SKYTREE STREET CURRENT EXPLOSION WRESTLING!” Results

December 23, 2020

DDT “ATSUSHI ONITA VS KURO-CHAN! CHRISTMAS FINAL BATTLE! SKYTREE STREET CURRENT EXPLOSION WRESTLING!”, 23/12/2020
Tokyo Solamachi
40,000 ABEMA Views

1. Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match @ Tokyo Solamachi 3-4F Solami Zaka: Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Hikari Noa defeated Miyu Yamashita, Nodoka Tenma & Marika Kobashi when Sakazaki pinned Kobashi with a Sliding Lariat (10:47).
2. 6-Man Tag Match @ Asakusa Kaminarimon Ichinomiya Shotenkai: Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai defeated Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Akito when Higuchi submitted Hirata with the Canadian Snow Samba Backbreaker (16:15).
3. Tag Match @ Yakiniku Drago Skytree Ekimae Store: HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya defeated Makoto Oishi & Keigo Nakamura when HARASHIMA pinned Oishi & Nakamura with the Somato (3:16).
4. DAMNATION! Vs DDT Sauna Club! @ Sumida Health Sports Center Pool: Tetsuya Endo, Soma Takao, Mad Paulie & Hiroshi Yamato (w/ Daisuke Sasaki) defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Yuki Ueno when Endo pinned Katsumata with the Shooting Star Senton into the Pool (19:53).
5. Current Explosion Death Match @ Tokyo Solamachi 8F Dome Garden: Kuro-chan (w/ Shinya Aoki, Super Sasadango Machine & Yuki Kamifuku) defeated Atsushi Onita (w/ Sanshiro Takagi, Chris Brookes & Maki Itoh) with the Current Blast Bat Swing (11:09).

All around Tokyo SKYTREE Town there were pro wrestlers waiting around for matches to happen. Members of Jungle Pocket followed the action from place to place for the ABEMA viewers at home. The reason for all of this was the long awaited Current Blast Death Match between Atsushi Onita and Kuro-chan. Both men were allowed a trio of wrestlers to accompany them and get involved in the fight. Kuro-chan tried to run away but Onita caught him and let Chris Brookes & Maki Itoh beat him up. Itoh swung a Current Blast Bat but Super Sasadango Machine stood in her way and took the blow. Onita pinned Kuro-chan after the explosion but Yuki Kamifuku broke the count. Sasadango told Kuro-chan that Kamifuku’s knees contain ingredients that would heal him from the blast. Kamifuku was grossed out but allowed Kuro-chan to lick her knee for recovery purposes. That powered up Kuro-chan until Sanshiro Takagi strangled him with a belt. Onita put Shinya Aoki through a table with a Piledriver then grabbed another Blast Bat. However Kamifuku turned off the bat’s power supply at the last second. The distraction allowed Sasadango & Aoki to attack Onita. Kuro-chan & Kamifuku then swung the Blast Bat at Onita together for the second explosion. Soon after, Onita grabbed the last Blast Bat but Kuro-chan grabbed Kamifuku to be his human shield. Onita hesitated and Aoki attacked him from behind. Kuro-chan grabbed the bat and hit Onita for the final explosion. Two Blast Bat hits were too much for Onita and he couldn’t kick out of the pin. Kuro-chan has defeated him!

Kuro-chan taunted Onita by pouring a bottle of water over him and bragging about “the moment when the pro wrestler lost to the entertainer!” Onita got up and started beating Kuro-chan with the bottle. Kuro-chan backed off but was still laughing over winning the match. An angry Onita then turned his attention to Jungle Pocket when they stepped in to protect their fellow entertainer. Kuro-chan grabbed Onita’s leather jacket, put it on himself and declared himself the new Evil Ways!

Over at the Sumida Health Sports Center pool, the DDT Sauna Club and DAMNATION met for a swim and an 8-Man Tag. After a quick swimming race, Jungle Pocket’s Otake asked when they would start wrestling. Daisuke Sasaki demanded money and both teams agreed that the match winner would get Otake’s money. After fighting around poolside, everyone wound up in the pool when a chain of Headscissors was flipped over by Mad Paulie. Everyone then moved over to the waterslide. Tetsuya Endo gave Yuki Ueno a Sunset Flip down the waterslide with Yukinori Matsui sliding after them to try and count the pin. One by one the wrestlers slid down with MAO’s turn involving a bunch of small rubber ducks coming down with him. Shunma Katsumata tried to blow hot sauna wind with a towel at Hiroshi Yamato but since it was pool it only made Yamato feel cold. Katsumata & Ueno put a rubber ring around Yamato and tried to make him float upside down in the pool. Konosuke Takeshita, Ueno & Katsumata tried piling on top of each other for a triple piggy back attack but they fell over when Sasaki sprayed them with a hose. The Sauna Club recovered to give Soma Takao an Assisted Cutter into the pool. There was a bridge where Paulie did the Reverse Splash into the pool but everyone moved out of the way. Takeshita then gave Yamato the Kinniku Buster from the bridge into the water. Sasaki was all alone against the Sauna Club when suddenly Yuji Hino showed up wearing a DAMNATION shirt! One by one he destroyed the Sauna Club and he gave Katsumata the Fuckin’ Bomb from the bridge into the pool. Endo then hit the Shooting Star Senton from the bridge to Katsumata and pinned him in the water.

After the match, Sasaki introduced everyone to Hino. He explained they used to be soldiers together and now Hino is the newest member of DAMNATION! Not only that but Hino will also be at the 27th December Korakuen Hall show. Hino threw Otake into the water to celebrate and everyone in DAMNATION laughed.

Hirohisa Ota from Jungle Pocket spectated a match held in a nearby yakiniku restaurant. Yukio Naya welcomed him and they looked at the menu until they heard a commotion nearby. It was Makoto Oishi & Keigo Nakamura causing noise and being a nuisance. Angry clerk HARASHIMA confronted them and with Naya started the tag match against the troublemakers. Oishi tried to take female clerk hostage when suddenly the disgraced sumo wrestler Takatoriki appeared from the back of the restaurant! He and Naya slammed Oishi & Nakamura together outside and HARASHIMA pinned both of them with the Somato.

The third Jungle Pocket member Shinji Saito met up with Saki Akai along the shopping street when all of a sudden Akito & Kazuki Hirata showed up in a rickshaw pulled by Danshoku Dieno. Luckily for Akai, the rest of Eruption showed up from the nearby subway and the trios match was ready to begin. Dieno summoned samba dancers while he did the Asakusa Nightmare to Akai. Akito chased Kazusada Higuchi into a store and found Higuchi dressed like an enlightened monk attending pilgrimage. Higuchi wouldn’t budge while he was in his state of enlightenment. Yukio Sakaguchi and Hirata stopped fighting so they could go buy sweet desserts. Sakaguchi made sure it was paid with money from Hirata’s wallet. Higuchi returned on a bike and cycled into his opponents. Dieno climbed up a wall and sat in the Hell Gate position. Hirata then called for “Anal Snow Samba” and Dieno shot smoke from beneath him onto everyone below while the samba dancers performed around them. Sakaguchi used a fire extinguisher to freeze Dieno’s ass. Akai then sprayed it into Hirata while Higuchi held him in the Canadian Backbreaker for the finish.

The show began at the entrance of Tokyo Solamachi where six Tokyo Joshi Pro wrestlers came to fight. Marika Kobashi brought along a selfie stick but Hikari Noa used it to choke her. Nodoka Tenma Body Slammed Mizuki onto the ground and then jumped on top of her with a Body Press. Yuka Sakazaki and Miyu Yamashita fought near the stairway and Sakazaki ended up pushing her opponent down the steps. Sakazaki, Mizuki & Noa then joined up for a sprint down the path to hit a Triple Dropkick on the other team. Noa found a ladder and spun it around, hitting anyone who dared come near her. The ladder was set up near the Skytree and The Magical Sugar Rabbits did a Double Diving Body Attack off it onto everyone below. Sakazaki ended the match by pinning Kobashi with the Sliding Lariat.

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.
