*Miyu Yamashita fails in V5. Shoko Nakajima becomes the 10th Princess Of Princess Champion!
In its ninth year of existence, Tokyo Joshi Pro has reached the “Dream Stage” that is Sumo Hall! In the main event, Shoko Nakajima brought an end to Miyu Yamashita’s reign as Princess Of Princess Champion. She took the Skull Kick to the back of the head but was able to dodge a second one thrown from the front. Yamashita was caught in a Frankensteiner for a nearfall and was left stunned with a Double Arm DDT. That was the end for her because Nakajima then hit the Diving Senton for the three count. It is the second Princess Title reign for Nakajima, reclaiming the belt in the same venue she lost it in November 2019.
Nakajima said today was the strongest version of Yamashita she had ever seen. After years of fighting together, no matter what pressure they were under, Yamashita never showed any fear. That is why Nakajima wanted to win so badly today, to be like Yamashita. She doesn’t know for sure if she surpassed her today but she knows for sure one day she will. Either way, the two will continue fighting together for TJPW. Nakajima later said her goal is to defend the Princess Title at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022” in Saitama Super Arena on 12th June. She thought last year’s title match at the show was really cool and would love to be in that position on behalf of everyone. Yamashita has mixed with happy and sad emotions over the show. Her dream to headline Sumo Hall came true but she lost. Today isn’t the happy ending for TJPW because she wants the company to grow even bigger for their supporters! She couldn’t win today but that just means she has to get stronger and restart her training. However she admits if she was to fight Nakajima for the championship again she won’t be able to beat her. The next time she wants to be in a Princess Title match will be when she is confident she will win.
It’s going to be a difficult task to take the Princess Tag Team Titles away from The Magical Sugar Rabbits. The strongest challengers in the company are Daydream and they weren’t able to beat them today. Double team moves were the plays of the day with MagiRabi hitting versions 1, 2 and 3 of Toy Story. Miu Watanabe used her individual strength to give both MagiRabi a Double Giant Swing by herself. Rika Tatsumi tried to put Yuka Sakazaki away with Hip Attacks but couldn’t get the job done. Watanabe got back in only to get wiped out by Mizuki’s Whirling Candy. Tatsumi was then dealt with MagiRabi’s signature moves until Sakazaki finished her off with the Magical Girl Niwatori Yaro. Sakazaki calls this a huge victory because of where it took place. Mizuki is cheery again because she wanted to win the Max Heart Tournament earlier this year and they just beat the winners today. Daydream were obviously upset over losing but they said they will find a new dream to make come true.
Yuki Arai’s first championship match in TJPW career ended in failure thanks to Maki Itoh. The International Princess Title bout was big enough for Kero Tanaka to be the ring announcer for. Also Itoh was joined by Naoko Hara and Mayu Kishida from the idol group Toki wo Ikiru (of which Itoh is also a member) to dance for her entrance. Itoh choked Arai with her microphone stand and showed no mercy as the match progressed. Arai kept fighting and held onto Itoh as much as she could but an Avalanche DDT followed by the Itoh Deluxe made her give up in the end. Itoh asked for Arai’s handshake afterwards and Arai reluctantly accepted. Arai said next time she will win and be the one who asks for Itoh’s handshake instead. However Itoh is sure she will continue beating Arai no matter how many times they fight. But she also believes Arai is stronger than she thinks. She has power, stamina and guts but is missing one thing to make the complete package. Arai has all of the ingredients, she just isn’t a good cook yet. Itoh will still be here for Arai to challenge her again in the future.
Hikaru Shida did the deal because nobody kicks out of the Falcon Arrow! Even though her match against Hikari Noa was not a Hardcore match, the two couldn’t help but hit each other with a kendo stick and a chair outside the ring. Noa’s back was targeted throughout and Shida’s plan paid off when her opponent struggled to throw a Super Kick and could not hold onto the Blizzard Suplex during an attempted pin due to the pain. Shida went on to win but as she walked back up the ramp, she couldn’t help but notice Aja Kong on commentary and give her a determined look. Backstage Shida said she is grateful to wrestle in Japan again. She was surprised that Noa wanted to fight a Hardcore match against her but she likes that kind of spirit. Next time they fight Shida wants it under Hardcore rules for sure!
For the first time in TJPW, the entire NEO Biishiki-gun were together in one place. Sakisama was teaming with her usual loyal servants but the rest of the household stood with them for their entrance. Ai Shimizu, KANNA, Azusa Christie, Yoshiko-sama (with her teddy bear Charlotte) and even Misao were all seen in public again for the first time in years. The grand entrance made everyone forget that minutes earlier Raku & Ram Kaichow were walking down the ramp together looking like a newly married couple. During the match itself the maids Mei Saint-Michel & Martha worked together like a well oiled team against Pom Harajuku. Later Yukio Saint Laurent tried to stab his opponents with an injection but Kaichow turned the needle on himself. She also gave Sakisama the Rainmaker. Marika Kobashi took over and tried using moves like the Front Neck Lock and Shining Wizard on Sakisama. However Martha used a mop to distract her, Saint-Michel (with Charlotte) hit a mop assisted Diving Double Knee Drop and Sakisama pinned Kobashi with the Academy Award. After the match Sakisama gave Kobashi a red rose as a parting gift. Kobashi said that in the past she ripped up the roses Sakisama gave her but this time she will bring it home with her. She can tell this one was given out of respect and maybe even love?
Even though The Bakuretsu Sisters were opponents, they made their entrance together with a live performance of “BAKURETSU POWER” by the band angela. The younger sister won out in the end with Yuki Aino pinning Nodoka Tenma with the UBV. She said she finally found out how strong Tenma is by wrestling her one on one. She was happy to win because she admires her sister the most and shouldn’t be losing to her when Tenma is leaving pro wrestling to farm in Okayama. Tenma wants Aino to continue wrestling and doesn’t think she will need a new tag partner as a substitute for herself.
The entrances of Asuka and Yuki Kamifuku was just as much a competition as the match itself. Asuka had a routine with a male dancer while Kamifuku arrived in the arena on a motorbike looking for drinks and a smoke. The two began in the ring with light teases that grew more and more aggressive until it became a full on match. Kamifuku’s reliance on the Famouser didn’t work and she was dropped with a Sit Down Power Bomb. Asuka then picked up the win with the Moonsault. Kamifuku admitted to feeling more nervous about this match than any title bout she was ever in. She believes it is up to her to become stronger than Asuka because there will be new people coming into TJPW and looking up to her. And even if she loses to Asuka in the ring, she will never lose to her in the bar! Asuka said their bond has deepened and VENYU will team together again in the future.
TJPW’s first ring announcer Minami Momochi was on hand to witness the match between Hyper Misao and Sanshiro Takagi. She wasn’t the only face from the past because former TJPW wrestlers Nonoko and MIZUHO were in attendance to present flowers to Misao. The superhero said Takagi was not the crazy wrestler he used to be so she wanted to destroy him. Nobody was more shocked than her when Takagi showed up dressed like her in bodypaint! He grabbed the microphone and introduced himself as Hyper Sanshiro, the President who protects sales and numbers in Tokyo Joshi Pro! Misao attacked him with the help of Nonoko and MIZUHO. They then fought up the ramp on bicycles, crashing into each other. Another graduated TJPW wrestler appeared when Akane Miura from the ring crew hit Takagi with a Lariat on the ramp. Takagi knew the match was getting out of control so he ordered the rules be changed to Falls Count Anywhere! After he did that, Misao was seen standing on the top of the aisle and she jumped down onto everyone below! A castle of chairs was built in the ring and Misao got back on her bicycle. She shouted this was what she always dreamed to do in Sumo Hall and crashed into the chairs after Takagi jumped out of the way. Takagi hit her with chairs and called her a phoney hero. He sprayed her with a fire extinguisher, calling it the Hero Beam. But when he attempted to do the I Am A Hero onto some plastic boxes, Misao rolled out of the way and he crashed through them. Misao then did her own I Am A Hero to pin the DDT president for the three count! Misao said that as long as Takagi is her Peter Pan, she will always aim for his head. Takagi said he’s been dressed like this since 8am, even doing the pre-show speech to the entire locker room looking like that. He told Misao that today she has become a real hero! The two hugged and Misao then gave Takagi a Stunner.
Yuna Manase returned to TJPW with a new gang of friends with her. The visiting foursome from Ganbare☆Pro defeated the home team led by Nao Kakuta. Manase took her new role as the female Ken Ohka to heart by wrestling an outfit similar to his. Mahiro Kiryu also debuted a new costume too. Kaya Toribami and HARUKAZE had a sequence against each other that could have went either way. YuuRI joined in with Manasae to deal some pain to Kakuta & Haruna Neko. But Neko got to fight back by giving Moeka Haruhi the Nekodebreaker. The match came down to Manase and Kiryu and ended when Manase pinned her with the Lariat. The TJPW team are taking the loss as a learning experience and that more work needs to be done to make the company stronger. Manase credited her team’s win on the bond formed between all four of them. They all fought using the spirit of Ganbare☆Joshi! Manase wants everyone to know that CyberFight has so much hot joshi action from not just DDT and TJPW but Ganjo too. She wants everyone to come see Ganpro at Ota Ward Gymnasium on 10th July.
The show began with the anticipated debut of the TikTok Karate Nurse Juria Nagano. She teamed with Moka Miyamoto to take on Arisuzu in a losing effort. However it was Miyamoto who took the fall instead of the newcomer. She enjoyed her first match but described how frustrated she felt when she was taken down to the mat because she has no ground game. Suzume was delighted to see how many fans showed up to watch the match and she’s also happy to have new friends. Arisu Endo joked that the match went by too fast for her to enjoy it.
During the show opening introductions, Sayuri Namba brought down KANNA and Chikage Kiba into the ring. They were the two other wrestlers who debuted in the same match with Yamashita and Nakajima in 2013 but both of their wrestling careers only lasted a few years. KANNA cried because she never expected to see TJPW to make it to this point and she thinks it will become the second launch of the company. Kiba said it was a miracle that the show went ahead without anyone having to pull out because of covid. Standing in Sumo Hall with somebody she debuted with felt like a dream come true for her. A voiceover for the show was recorded by another TJPW alumni, Azusa Takigawa.
The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) performed some of their songs and announced will be holding an audition to find a new member! They are looking for girls who want to sing, dance and fight with them. Noa would like someone to do a death match with and who is also imposing enough to beat up Sanshiro Takagi. Raku said she grew up knowing nothing about pro wrestling yet it changed her life 180 degrees and she is now here standing in the middle of Sumo Hall. Watanabe said it also isn’t important if the applicants do not know anything about idols. She is looking forward to hearing from anyone interested to join.
Tokyo Joshi Pro will return to Ota Ward Gymnasium on 9th July for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22”.

GANBARE☆PRO “BAD COMMUNICATION 2022”, 27/02/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
319 Fans
1. Katsumura-gun Vs Hitodenashi BLUES: Shuichiro Katsumura & Tsuyoshi Okada defeated Nobuhiro Shimatani & Tyson Maeguchi when Katsumura submitted Shimatani with a Triangle Choke (10:04).
2. Ganjo Special Tag Match: Moeka Haruhi & Maya Yukihi defeated Yuna Manase & YuuRI when Yukihi submitted YuuRI with the Whiteout (13:49).
3. Ganpro’s Famous Hardcore Mixed Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata & Akane Fujita defeated Mizuki Watase & HARUKAZE when Fujita pinned HARUKAZE with the Mikan de Pon onto the Ladder (15:30).
4. Unleash The Curse Of The Great Prophecy!: Yumehito Imanari defeated The Great Sasuke with a Lariat (15:50).
5. BAD COMMUNICATION 2022 Special Bout: Ken Ohka, Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Shota, Soma Takao & Shinichiro Tominaga when Ohka pinned Tominaga with the Fire Spear (12:38).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Tatsuhito Takaiwa (c) defeated Kouki Iwasaki with the Avalanche Death Valley Bomb (23:02).
*V2 for Tatsuhito Takaiwa.
A hot topic in Japanese wrestling right now is how hard the old guard are fighting to stay in the spotlight. It’s happening in Ganbare☆Pro too where Tatsuhito Takaiwa has a tight grip on the new Spirit Of Ganbare World Title. He successfully defended the championship against Kouki Iwasaki in the main event of Korakuen Hall after a hard fought battle. Any hope Ganpro had of their “young general” bringing the belt back home failed to materialize after the Avalanche Death Valley Bomb put him away. Takaiwa called the match the toughest he’s had in years because he is not good against kickers. Iwasaki agreed, describing the champion as a man who crawled up from Hell. Takaiwa is being a good spirit despite being somewhat of an outsider. He made a promise to help Ganpro grow bigger while he is their champion and welcomes anyone to come challenge him. He is willing to have a rematch against Iwasaki but he also wants to learn more about the rest of the roster for potential opponents.
The trio of Ken Ohka, Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie were too strong from ROMANCE DAWN & Shinichiro Tominaga to sail through. Irie smashed through Soma Takao with the Traffic Accident while Ishii took Shota out of play. That left Tominaga on his own ducking and diving all of his opponent’s big moves. He dodged the Beast Bomber and Kneel Kick but Ohka finally caught him with the Flame Spear to get the win.
In December 2015 The Great Sasuke gave Yumehito Imanari a “Great Prophecy” predicting he would have a breakout year in 2016. Nothing has happened since then and Imanari puts the blame on Sasuke for giving him a false blessing. That is what led to their singles match today. Sasuke, being the nutjob he is, did a Senton Bomb to the floor and missed. He was able to keep fighting until Imanari beat him with a Lariat. A tearful Imanari told Sasuke he still believes in the prophecy because it drives him to do his best. Sasuke gave an excuse that his prophecies sometimes have a time lag so Imanari’s one will definitely come true this year!
The Mixed Tag Match brought violence on an absurd level with some of the bizarre weapons being used. Mizuki Watase wore a tiger paw glove covered in barbed wire, HARUKAZE carried a garbage bag filled with empty plastic bottles, Akane Fujita had a baseball bat covered in thumbtacks and Shunma Katsumata had a bad with toy blocks stuck to it. Other weapons used included chairs, a ladder, an acupressure foot mat, steel cans and concrete blocks. Katsumata & Fujita kept accusing each other of stealing their own weapon ideas but had to get along out of necessity to win the match. Katsumata told Akane they keep winning together but they should stop before Sanshiro Takagi decides to make them team up again. Akane said that’s his problem and she will team with whoever the company offers to her. Watase & HARUKAZE enjoyed doing the match and like the idea of becoming a Hardcore Manzai tag team.
The Ganbare☆Joshi division was put on display in Match #2. YuuRI was put through the wringer by Moeka Haruhi & Maya Yukihi so Yuna Manase used her own size and power to spark a comeback. YuuRI also got her second wind but it couldn’t last against Yukihi. After Haruhi got Manase out of the ring, Yukihi stretched and pulled YuuRI in the Whiteout until she gave up.
In the opening match Shuichiro Katsumura & Tsuyoshi Okada joined forces to beat Nobuhiro Shimatani & Tyson Maeguchi. It was a Power Bomb from Shimatani that was suddenly countered into a Triangle Choke from Katsumura that led to that result.
2022 is going to be a big year schedule wise for Ganpro. There will be three more Korakuen shows this year on 3rd May, 13th August and 27th December. Pocchari Joshi will also return for its third show on 26th April. But that’s not all. Ganpro are making their biggest gamble yet to become a major pro wrestling promotion. On 10th July they are going to run Ota Ward Gymnasium! When Ganpro began in 2013 Ohka only had 150,000 yen and Nanhai Ichigaya Memorial Clinic (now known as Ichigaya Chocolate Square) as a venue. He likes venues like that and Itabashi Green Hall but believes the time has come to grow bigger and become more major. That is why Ganpro is running Korakuen four times a year and also going to Ota Ward. He wants to keep the momentum going so one day Ganpro will reach Sumo Hall and the Tokyo Dome! He also said if Ganpro works hard and Japan works hard they can create a booming economy together!

3. Naomi Yoshimura (0)

B Block

2. Konosuke Takeshita (1)

4. Chris Brookes (0)
-. MAO (0)
-. HARASHIMA (0)
The first four matches in the D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II took place inside Ota Ward Gymnasium. In the main event Konosuke Takeshita was taken to the limit by Yuji Okabayashi until the time expired. The Plus Ultra and German Suplex couldn’t put Okabayashi. But on the other hand the Golem Splash and Argentine Backbreaker wasn’t enough to beat Takeshita either. Takeshita was fighting to apply the Plus Ultra once more when the bell rang and the match ended in a draw. Takeshita is pleased with the result because he wanted to test his current power. He concluded that he is in great shape and has become a stronger wrestler. It was a contest of strength and Takeshita believes he went all out in Ota Ward today. Now he wants a rematch with Okabayashi and he thinks winning the D-Ou GP will make that happen. It could also happen in a tiebreaker if there is a tie for 1st place in their block. Okabayashi is frustrated over what happened. He doesn’t lose power struggles inside the ring that often. He promises to win the rest of the tournament and crush Takeshita whenever they cross paths again.
Today went exactly how Yuki Ueno imagined it would go. He expected the Knee Strikes, the Front Neck Lock and the Exploder Suplexes. After a perfectly placed Dropkick to the face, Ueno used the WR to beat Jun Akiyama! Everything went right for Ueno which makes him thinks this edition of the D-Ou GP will be a very good tournament for him. Akiyama accepts the result and the situation. It didn’t matter how much of the match he controlled, he still lost in the end. It can’t be helped if he has a target on his back for the younger generation to aim for.
The question going into Tetsuya Endo Vs Yuji Hino was whether or not Endo could give his larger opponent the Torture Rack Bomb. It took some effort but he was finally able to deliver the move. However the move took something out of him too and a delayed pin allowed Hino to kick out at two. Endo had to change his plan and attempted the Canadian Destroyer. Hino blocked the move but Endo then suddenly Cradled him and held him down for dear life to get the three count. Now that DAMNATION is gone, Endo said today is the first step towards becoming the top wrestler in DDT again. He thinks DDT wouldn’t be fun if he wasn’t on top. His next opponent is Naomi Yoshimura. Endo revealed that the two knew each other before Yoshimura joined DDT. He used to tease Endo all the time for having skinny legs. Endo promises he will break Yoshimura’s legs for revenge! Hino is immediately moving on from this loss to focus on his next opponent, Jun Akiyama.
The rivalry between HARASHIMA and Kazusada Higuchi resurfaced once more. At first HARASHIMA targeted his Higuchi’s legs but the match turned into the two throwing bombs at each other. HARASHIMA went for the big finish by doing a Springboard but Higuchi caught him in the Brain Claw. That by itself couldn’t win the match so Higuchi turned it into a big Brain Claw Slam to earn the victory. For Higuchi the win is another step forward. It builds his confidence and makes him think he will win the D-Ou GP. HARASHIMA is sorry he lost but believes he is still in great shape for the rest of the tournament.
The Hardcore Tag Match was carnage for the plastic boxes getting destroyed all over the place. MAO gave a shoutout to Speedball Mike Bailey by doing the Ultima Weapon onto Chris Brookes. He then stapled a Wrestle Universe advert onto Drew Parker’s forehead. Brookes did the same to him. Shunma Katsumata then took it further by stapling an ad onto Parker’s tongue. Parker fought back with a dart but Katsumata shoved it back into his mouth and pierced it through Parker’s cheek! Katsumata & MAO then tried the NepoWER Shower but Brookes got out of the way, leaving them to crash into more boxes. Parker put MAO through a table with the Swanton Bomb and then hit the Spiral Tap on Katsumata. He and Brookes then finished Katsumata off with a Super Power Bomb onto more plastic boxes. Parker greeted the DDT fans afterwards and gave his support to Brookes for the D-Ou GP.
Match #3 fell apart after an accidental ref bump caused by Yoshimura. He & Bodyguard were able to Double Choke Slam MJ Paul. Then Daisuke Sasaki brought a chair into the ring and he lured Yoshimura into Clotheslining Bodyguard by accident. Soma Takao then ran in and attacked Sasaki while Yoshimura & Bodyguard started fighting each other. Yukinori Matsui regained consciousness and saw chaos in the ring so he called off the match. It just so happens that Yoshimura and Bodyguard are facing each other in the D-Ou GP this Saturday. That’s convenient. Takao still wants an explanation from Sasaki as to why he turned his back on him. Sasaki thinks Takao is now working for Ganbare☆Pro and wants security to do a better job keeping wrestlers from other places invading DDT.
Saki Akai & Masahiro Takanashi were joined by Yukio Sakaguchi for their match. There wasn’t the same level of harmony for Chihiro Hashimoto & Yukio Naya. The finish saw Hashimoto grabbing Takanashi to do the Albright German Suplex. Then due to a lot of scrambling in the ring, Hashimoto ended up giving the Albright to her tag partner instead. Takanashi then pinned Naya to steal the win. Despite the result, Hashimoto wants to come back and wrestle Akai again. Akai will be wrestling at Sendai Girls on 23rd November so they can sort something out there is Akai wants to.
You’ll need more than handcuffs to stop Pheromones from their antics. Sanshiro Takagi’s plans couldn’t prevent them from becoming the new KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions. Takagi brought out the Dramatic Dream bike to drill into his opponents. Danshoku Dieno took out Shinya Aoki with the Lip Lock. He then got into the Hell Gate position and Yumehito Imanari sprayed fire extinguisher through it into Yusuke Okada. Imanari then handcuffed Okada and left him vulnerable for Yuki Iino’s Sexy Lariat for the finish. Dieno told the “Pheromaniacs” that the unit now cannot be disbanded and they will continue to take everyone to their land of dreams!
The show began with Kenta Kobashi introducing the D-Ou GP entries and receiving the trophy from the previous winner Akiyama. He declared the D-Ou Grand Prix open and watched the matches from the broadcast table. He praised the four tournament matches today and thinks the rest of the tournament will be just as good.
There were three pre-show matches including a title bout. The KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles changed hands when Team Olympian lost to Toru Owashi and the so-called DDT Variety Team. Both teams agreed to No Tag Rules for the match to keep the action going. The big highlight was the first time meeting of Yoshiaki Yatsu and Yoshihiko that ended with Yatsu putting the doll in the Prison Lock until Antonio Honda broke it up. Yoshihiko then flew out of the ring after Hiroshi Yamato gave Kazuki Hirata a German Suplex. Akito & Keigo Nakamura focused on Hirata until Yoshihiko came back in for the rescue. Their teamwork together was the difference maker and Hirata pinned Nakamura after an assisted Reincarnation from Yoshihiko. Honda said there are a lot of units in DDT now but if they can get rid of those groups one by one then they can climb up the card all the way up to the main event! Backstage Yatsu was impressed by the depth of Yoshihiko’s abilities.
Takao had a friendlier time in the ring with Baliyan Akki than he did with DAMNATION T.A. Akki put up a good fight by hitting a No Touch Topé Suicida and the Namaste Press. But Takao caught him in the Official Endless Waltz to wear him out and get the three count.
Toui Kojima is back and the new generation of DDT is complete again. Even better for Kojima, he got his first win too. Yuya Koroku and Hideki Okatani kept each other busy so it came down to Kojima and the newest rookie Yuki Ishida. Kojima used a Full Nelson Buster to beat him. Now that his elbows are completely healed, Kojima is going back to his goal of joining The 37KAMIINA!

7. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – A Block: Jun Akiyama Vs Yuki Ueno
8. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – B Block: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Yuji Okabayashi
Okay, now we have the official match order for the show. Konosuke Takeshita versus Yuji Okabayashi is the headlining match.
Pheromones are getting sick and tired of their matches getting stopped before they reach their intended climax. Thanks to some manipulation towards the GM Hisaya Imabayashi, they got their KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles to now be under No DQ rules. It also cannot be called off for any reason related to the team’s inappropriate behaviour.

Some international flavour is being added to the next Ganbare☆Joshi show. Also can Keisuke Ishii and Shinichiro Tominaga get along after Tominaga quickly eliminated Ishii from the Ganbare☆Climax?
Rina Amikura is from Actwres girl’Z.

BASARA “BASARA 174 ~TAKAGARI 6~”, 13/11/2021
Takashimadaira Ward Community Center
1. Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto Vs SAGAT & Fuminori Abe
Speed Of Sounds and Masahiro Takanashi will be on the show. I believe Takanashi still owes Fuminori Abe that rematch.
DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2021 II IN KORAKUEN HALL”, 21/11/2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’21”, 25/11/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuki Arai
2. International Princess Title Match: Hikari Noa (c) Vs Miu Watanabe
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh
The trios time limit draw at the last show has left both Hikari Noa and Miu Watanabe wanting more against each other. Watanabe asked Noa for a singles match and Noa is willing to put the IP Title on the line for it. She has defended the title against Raku already so if she beats Watanabe then everyone can agree that Noa is the best of the Up Up Girls!
The Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuki Arai match that was originally meant to happen in August is now taking place in November. Arai is looking forward to it but Tatsumi slapped her across the face.
BASARA “BASARA 177 ~GLITTER~”, 30/11/2021

7. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – A Block: Tetsuya Endo Vs Yuji Hino
8. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – A Block: Jun Akiyama Vs Yuki Ueno
Some of the D-Ou Grand Prix invited press to view their training sessions in the lead up to the tournament. Kazusada Higuchi was taken through special training in Yokohama under Yukio Sakaguchi’s supervision and with Yuki Ishida helping out. First they worked out in a park then they held drills over at the Sakaguchi Dojo to work on Higuchi’s lower body strength. Higuchi said it was a long time since he participated in sumo training, not since before his knee injury. Sakaguchi told Higuchi that the D-Ou is more of a mental game than a physical one. Higuchi agrees it is a good lesson to learn.
Meanwhile MAO visited self-proclaimed Koppojutsu expert Takumi Yano to learn from him. After being shown around the place for an hour, MAO learned new stand up and ground techniques from Yano that focus on body joints. MAO learned a lot but admitted that one day’s training does not mean he can do use the new moves just like that. It will require more training but if he can get ready then he thinks Koppojutsu will be useful against HARASHIMA. Yano encouraged MAO to continue because when he was MAO’s age he was only a year into his Koppojutsu training.

The next Tokyo Joshi Pro title program for Korakuen Hall is in place. Also Yuki Arai has her first match since “WRESTLE PRINCESS II”.
DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN TOKYO DOME ~DDT TOKYO DOME CUP~”, 31/10/2021
Tokyo Dome
1. DDT TOKYO DOME CUP: Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata, Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs Chris Brookes, Brahman Shu, Brahman Kei & Gorgeous Matsuno Vs Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari & Tetsuya “Heracles” Endo Vs Miyu Yamashita, Hikari Noa, Maki Itoh & Hyper Misao Vs Shinya Aoki, Kazusada Higuchi, Kazuki Hirata & X
The final team has been revealed. Well, most of it. Shinya Aoki, Kazusada Higuchi & Kazuki Hirata one more partner completes the field. DDT previously said the final team will have someone who has never done Rojo Pro Wrestling before. Aoki, Higuchi & Hirata all done it so that leaves the mystery partner. The format is still secret but we know Yoshihiko and Kouzi will be hanging around inside the Tokyo Dome on the day of the show.

GANBARE☆PRO “GANBARE☆JOSHI PRO WRESTLING ~HIKARI NO ROCK 2021~”, 07/11/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
1. YuuRI “Glamorous Valkyrie” Trial Single Match Round 2: YuuRI Vs Maya Yukihi
2. Ganjo Special Tag Match: Yuna Manase & Saki Akai Vs Yuu Yamagata & HARUKAZE
Just when things were looking at its bleakest for Yuna Manase, help has come from an unlikely face. Saki Akai wants to see the woman with a never say die attitude that she fought last month. So she is now helping Manase bring that fire back and finally get a win against Yuu Yamagata & HARUKAZE. Yamagata does not know who Akai is but welcomes her participation in the match.
Match 2 for YuuRI’s trial series is against another big name on the joshi scene, Maya Yukihi.
Moeka Haruhi will be on the show. Storyline wise she’s come across as the odd woman out on the Ganbare☆Joshi events so far.
GANBARE☆PRO “LEC CLEANPA! PRESENTS GANBARE☆CLIMAX 2021 2ND ROUND”, 07/11/2021

4. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 2D: Tatsuhito Takaiwa Vs Mizuki Watase
5. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 2C: Kouki Iwasaki Vs Shuichiro Katsumura
6. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 2B: Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Yumehito Imanari
The Ganbare☆Climax moves on to Round 2. Shinichiro Tominaga eliminating Keisuke Ishii was the big surprise in Round 1. Can he get a Cinderella run going by defeating the last tournament winner Yumehito Imanari? Meanwhile Tetsuhiro Kuroda and Mizuki Watase get their first matches in the bracket. Kuroda is seen as a god by Ken Ohka because he was nice to him back in Ohka’s rookie days. Watase is as motivated as he has ever been to go far and grab some success in the ring.
Soma Takao has been hanging around at Ganbare☆Pro recently to show support for the other wrestlers in his generation. After being by Shota’s side at the last show, Takao was invited to wrestle on a Ganpro show for the first time.
Also at the show will be Shinjiro Otani. He is now the on-site director for Ganpro.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’21”, 25/11/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh
The Magical Sugar Rabbits are handed a tough first defence. 121000000 are a united front in the aftermath to the “WRESTLE PRINCESS II” main event. I think. They’re bickering over whether or not Miyu Yamashita really cares about Maki Itoh. It’s the opposite to Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki. Those two with the Princess Tag Titles have in the past been the most unbeatable duo in TJPW. 121000000 need to get their heads together (perhaps literally) if they want to win the belts.
Yuki Arai will be on the show.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 10/12/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

2. Pom Harajuku Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi
3. Hardcore Match: Hikari Noa Vs Nao Kakuta
4. MagiRabi Vs TropicaWild: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki Vs SAKI & Yuna Mizumori
The third “TJPW INSPIRATION” brings in TropicaWild from ChocoPro to face MagiRabi. Hikari Noa gets another Hardcore Match but this time it’s Nao Kakuta who is the newcomer to that style. Pom Harajuku is bringing in a more wacky atmosphere by taking on Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi. The opener is something more normal with Haruna Neko versus Mahiro Kiryu.
DDT “NEVER MIND 2021 IN YOYOGI”, 26/12/2021

Yuji Okabayashi and Bodyguard will be on the show.

There are a few absences tomorrow. Marika Kobashi is busy with her studies so she won’t be at the show. Kaya Toribami will be absent from Tokyo Joshi Pro until 4th January for “various reasons”. She gave a little explanation on Twitter, saying it has nothing to do with injury or illness. She later tweeted a picture of her passport supposedly taken at an airport and said she’s been busy. Has the little birdie migrated somewhere warmer for the winter?
Some tag teams are reemerging now that there’s new Princess Tag Team Champions. We have Daydream and Kyoraku Kyomei reunited on this show.

6. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu
A new masked wrestler called Lil Kraken showed up at the last BASARA show announcing he will debut at Korakuen Hall. Nothing is known about him but there is a lot of suspicion he is a former BASARA wrestler under the mask. Who could he be? He has the same accent as somebody who left BASARA last year…

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS II”, 09/10/2021
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium
914 Fans
1. Raku, Pom Harajuku & Ram Kaichow defeated Haruna Neko, Mahiro Kiryu & Kaya Toribami when Raku pinned Neko with the Doctor Yellow (10:09).
2. 3 Way Match: Nodoka Tenma defeated Rika Tatsumi and Hyper Misao when Tenma pinned Misao with the Killswitch (10:55).
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Asuka defeated Nao Kakuta & Marika Kobashi when Kamifuku pinned Kakuta with the Diving Famouser (10:30).
4. Riho & Shoko Nakajima defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Nakajima pinned Suzume with the Diving Senton (14:52).
5. Special Tag Match: Aja Kong & Moka Miyamoto defeated Miu Watanabe & Yuki Arai when Kong pinned Arai with the Diving Elbow Drop (16:03).
6. International Princess Title: Hikari Noa (c) defeated Yuki Aino with the Blizzard Suplex (11:27).
*V3 for Hikari Noa.
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel (c) when Mizuki pinned Saint-Michel with the Cutie Special (18:33).
*NEO Biishiki-gun fails in V3. The Magical Sugar Rabbits become the 9th Princess Tag Team Champions!
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) defeated Maki Itoh with the Crash Rabbit Heat (17:23).
*V3 for Miyu Yamashita.
Sadly for Maki Itoh her happy ending was just for the Tokyo Princess Cup and no further. She had a sound gameplan against Miyu Yamashita, targeting her waist to make the Itoh Punish and Itoh Deluxe more effective. She also had counters ready for the Skull Kick. However Yamashita had those counters scouted from their previous matches together and rocked her opponent with the move. Yamashita had enough respect for Itoh to know she could still fight so she allowed her the chance to get back up. Itoh used her remaining strength to duck a Buzzsaw Kick but Yamashita followed with a Sole Butt to the face and then the Crash Rabbit Heat to win the match.
Yamashita praised Itoh for becoming stronger. It’s because of her that Yamashita wanted to fight for this match in Ota Ward Gymnasium today. But the story of Yamashita and Itoh isn’t over today and neither is 121000000. The two cried and hugged each other. Itoh then stuck up her middle finger and Yamashita pressed her fist against it. Yamashita told the fans the Princess Of Princess Title is the most important treasure in her life. She will continue to defend it and make Tokyo Joshi Pro even bigger in the process!
The final moment of the show was a big announcement for the company. TJPW will run their first Sumo Hall show by themselves next year! “GRAND PRINCESS ’22” will take place on 19th March, 2022. That is the day before DDT “JUDGEMENT 2022” takes place in the same venue. Yamashita said she is happy to finally run a TJPW show there and she will definitely be the champion for it!
It took two years but The Magical Sugar Rabbits have regained the Princess Tag Team Titles from NEO Biishiki-gun! The result spoils what would have been a majestic day for the former champions. Sakisama made her entrance from a throne covered in roses with her loyal maid Mei Saint-Michel by her side. But they weren’t ready for the energy Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki brought with them. Neither was Daisuke Kiso because the referee got bumped during the match and missed Mizuki putting Saint-Michel in the Facelock. Saint-Michel used her broom to free herself and then used the same broom for a witch-style Double Knee Drop from the top rope. She then put Mizuki in the Saint-Michel submission hold but Sakazaki grabbed her partner’s hand from the ring apron and pulled her towards the ropes. In the scramble for the finish, Saint-Michel set Mizuki up for the Newton Crash but she was shaken off and thrown over with the Cutie Special. Mizuki then hit another Cutie Special for the three count.
Backstage Saint-Michel fell onto the interview table in a slump. Sakisama told her she isn’t angry over the result. In fact today she can say she is now a full-blown maid! She told her to remember the days of their beauty training. They’ve done it in the rain, the wind, the heat, the cold, all on a tightrope over a cliff. Sakisama understands her maid is working hard so she wants the fans to be grateful that they got the chance to see NEO Biishiki-gun today.
That was the only title change on the show today. The remaining championship match to talk about was Hikari Noa successfully defending the International Princess Title against Yuki Aino. Noa blocked the Venus DDT and struggled her way out of the UBV. With Aino’s big moves avoided, Noa hit her with two Super Kicks and got the pin with the Blizzard Suplex. Noa said she was more excited than nervous going into the match in such a big venue. She wants to go even bigger. Noa wonders if maybe some day she will defend the title at a TJPW show held inside the Tokyo Dome!
Miu Watanabe wasn’t able to achieve her goal of Giant Swinging Aja Kong. She did the next best thing which was to Giant Swing Moka Miyamoto into Kong’s legs to knock her down (probably not the best thing for Kong because before the match she announced on social media an upcoming leave of absence to get knee surgery). Also Watanabe was able to Body Slam Kong after some effort. Yuki Arai also did her best against the monster. That got Kong’s attention because she shouted “Nice to meet you!” to Arai before chopping her down. Together, Watanabe & Aino tried to cut down Kong with a Laserbeam/High Kick combo. But their follow up Brainbuster attempt was reversed with Kong overpowering the both of them. Kong then hit a Reverse Elbow Drop from the turnbuckles onto Arai to get the win. Miyamoto called the experience amazing. She doesn’t know if she left a mark in the match but she did her best and still enjoyed it. Kong encouraged her to become more greedy in the ring because it’s more fun to do various things as a wrestler. Kong thinks somebody will get the Giant Swing on her eventually but she didn’t want it to be today. Also after the match Arai received a message from Kong that just said “Welcome.” Arai takes it that she is now accepted as a pro wrestler so even though she lost, she is still happy.
The reunited Twin Cam Monsters were victorious over Suzume & Arisu Endo. The combined speed and experience was too much but the underdogs still put up a fight. Riho & Shoko Nakajima gave Suzume a combined Northern Lights Suplex. Endo broke the count but Nakajima threw her in position for Riho to take her out with the Somato. From there Nakajima pinned Suzume with the Diving Senton. Suzume was pleased to show how much she has grown since her debut two years ago and also encouraged Endo for helping her when she needed it. Riho enjoyed the match and liked the atmosphere of the show. She also praised Suzume for her progress.
The new team VENYU left a strong impression from the moment their ring entrance began. Asuka dealt with Marika Kobashi (who was returning from a cracked rib injury), leaving Yuki Kamifuku in the ring with her sometimes nemesis Nao Kakuta. Kamifuku escaped the Shiden Kai and gave Kakuta the Famouser from behind. Kamifuku would then his a second Famouser this time from the turnbuckles to win the match. Kakuta thought she would have been able to beat two Roppongi girls because she was teaming with a Shibuya girl. Kobashi had to explain to her that the atmosphere in Roppongi is very different to that in Shibuya. Kamifuku said she was glad not to be wrestling against Asuka today. She also criticized Kakuta for not showing the same motivation against her that she had when they feuded. Asuka thinks the match went better than expected so there may be more from VENYU to look forward to.
Hyper Misao was so excited to see Rika Tatsumi come back that she made a sign to welcome her back. She was so excited to wrestle Tatsumi again that she forgot Nodoka Tenma was in the match. She told Tenma to leave but Tatsumi attacked her to start the action. Misao couldn’t contain her happiness when she got to be alone with Tatsumi in the ring. She held up the sign while doing I Am A Hero onto Tatsumi. Tenma broke the pin with a Diving Body Press onto both of them. She then got the pin herself by giving Misao the Killswitch.
The opening match was the return of Mahiro Kiryu from injury and also the TJPW debut of Ram Kaichow. The finish saw Pom Harajuku get rid of Kaya Toribami with the Pom Do Justice and Raku pin Haruna Neko with the Doctor Yellow. Kaichow celebrated the win with her team by sharing a packed lunch with them backstage.
The 2022 Korakuen Hall schedule was revealed during the show. Also announced was the date and location for “WRESTLE PRINCESS III”. It will be held in Tokyo Dome City Hall on 9th October, 2022.

7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel (c) Vs Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Maki Itoh
Last year “WRESTLE PRINCESS” was put together to be Tokyo Joshi Pro’s biggest show of the year. The only direction to go from here is get bigger. So TJPW is moving from Tokyo Dome City Hall to the Ota Ward Gymnasium for “WRESTLE PRINCESS II”. The three championships are all on the line, some recognizable guests are joining in the fun and everyone on the roster is crammed into the card somewhere. The show is taking place on a very busy Saturday in Japan a with some heavy competition. But if you’re into joshi you have a lot to look forward to this weekend.
1. Raku, Pom Harajuku & Ram Kaichow Vs Haruna Neko, Mahiro Kiryu & Kaya Toribami
The opener is TJPW’s introduction to Ram Kaichow. The demon girl originally came from Triple Six and long time puroresu fans might recognize her from the “Undertaker Girl” clips that have done the rounds in every 2000s era wrestling message board you can think of. She had her debut match all the way back in 2005 but took a several year absence in the 2010s. It was only in the last few years she reemerged on the scene wrestling for her home promotion and also Ice Ribbon. For her TJPW debut she is teaming with Raku & Pom Harajuku. Raku earned her first ever singles win this year and developed the Hurricane Turn backslide pin, continuing her progression as a wrestler. If she thinks the lullabies and train trivia is working then more power to her. Harajuku always wants to join in the fun when other people are getting up to mischief. Their opponents are led by Haruna Neko who continues to scratch opponents and add the word Neko to her entire moveset. Mahiro Kiryu was absent for over a month to take care of a neck injury but returns in time to be added to the show. Kaya Toribami is the least experienced of the six after only debuting in June. The high flyer has yet to win a match by herself.
2. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi Vs Hyper Misao Vs Nodoka Tenma
The card placement for Rika Tatsumi looks bad given what her 2021 has been like but recent circumstances meant this was probably the only spot available for her. She won the Princess Of Princess Title in January and held the belt as a “Dragon God” for four months. All of a sudden she took time off in September for personal reasons and was only confirmed to return at this show after the card was completed. The planned match was just meant to be Hyper Misao Vs Nodoka Tenma but Tatsumi joins in as a late addition. That’s not to say this is a throwaway match though. Tatsumi and Misao share a lot of history together. Just this year Misao tried to brainwash Tatsumi with technology and Tatsumi eliminated her from the Tokyo Princess Cup in unrelated incidents. Tenma also knows full well what kind of trouble Misao is capable of and may find an advantage in being the third wheel here.
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Asuka Vs Nao Kakuta & Marika Kobashi
A new glamourous duo are joining forces after years of friendship together. Yuki Kamifuku & Asuka will team up as VENYU (VENY + Kamiyu) and it will be the first time they will be in the ring together. They’ve actually been close friends since 2017 when a chance meeting at a restaurant led to them bonding together over their favourite liquor. Kamifuku had asked Asuka to team with her several times since then and only recently did she finally agree to do it. Asuka is a little worried that the TJPW audience won’t support her but Kamifuku is confident she will win them over. Their friendship going public also brings a sense of relief for both of them because they now no longer have to meet each other in private. How far VENYU can advance as a team depends on how their first match goes. It may fall apart at the starting line if it turns out they don’t like being in the ring together. They won’t know until the bell rings.
One thing for sure is Kamifuku has been way more friendly to Asuka than she’s been to Nao Kakuta. They get along now but for the early part of 2021, Kamifuku kept insulting Kakuta for being so plain in looks and behavior. Kakuta lost that feud but at least taught Kamifuku a lesson about showing respect to others. Not sure if that lesson spread to Marika Kobashi because she is getting deeper into Gal/Gyaru culture and won’t stop talking about vibes. But never mind that, Kobashi has learned how to make the Front Neck Lock an effective weapon to win matches. Maybe that’s what the vibes are, all the colours that wash over your eyes when you get choked out.
4. Riho & Shoko Nakajima Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
Two years after her last appearance in the company, Riho is back in TJPW! And she’s starting again where she left off, teaming with Shoko Nakajima as the Twin Cam Monsters. Both of them are having ups and downs this year. The pandemic inhibited Riho’s career in America for a while but she finally looks to be getting back on track. Nakajima briefly had to rename herself Shin Ultra Shoko after losing to Hyper Misao but did make it to the Tokyo Princess Cup final, continuing her excellent form in the tournament. But enough about them. The story of the match may be more about their opponents.
The last time the Twin Cam Monsters were together was to wrestle Suzume in her debut match. Unfortunately Suzume’s tag partner at the time isn’t in TJPW anymore so that means no more BeeStar for anybody. Instead Suzume will be teaming with Arisu Endo. The link for this team is Endo’s debut match at the start of this year was against Suzume. These two have nowhere near the amount of experience added together that Riho or Nakajima have on their own but they want to fight them as much as they can. TJPW management have told Riho about how much they have improved since their debuts. Nakajima sees the potential of both of them and thinks they can overtake herself and even Riho some day. Who knows what will happen from here on out? Riho has also said she is looking forward to watching the main event while she is here too.
5. Special Tag Match: Aja Kong & Moka Miyamoto Vs Miu Watanabe & Yuki Arai
Let’s not waste any time here. TJPW sees money in Yuki Arai. I mean it’s a big name idol from SKE48 who wants to be a wrestler and has the abilities to do so. She is making progress fairly quickly too. Not saying she’s a supernova in the ring or anything close to it but she’s putting in the effort and in five months is already on track to becoming one of the better trained wrestlers TJPW has. One of her recent advancements is forming an idol tag team with Miu Watanabe. The power member of The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) has been wowing fans online with her variations of the Giant Swing. Both of these two have a massive task ahead of them.
Aja Kong has made a few appearances in TJPW this year already. Some of those times were to replace Arai when she was out sick with the Coronavirus. Kong thinks this booking is a reward for her helping the company out. She has fought in Ota Ward Gymnasium many times before but this will be her first match in the new version of the venue. Her previous appearances this year were all tag matches with Raku. That streak ends here because this time Kong is teaming with Moka Miyamoto. Kong is upset she won’t be able to do the Good Night Express again but she likes discovering new things. That is why she comes back to TJPW. Miyamoto is nervous to be put in this position because of her inexperience but having Kong as a partner is reassuring. Either way she thinks it will be fun to see how the match turns out.
Watanabe’s goal for the match is to put Kong in the Giant Swing. Kong warns that Lioness Asuka and Kyoko Inoue have never done it to her. Watanabe can swing two opponents at the same time but Kong is the size of three people! Kong also wants Arai to know their interactions in the ring won’t be like it was for Tofu Pro Wrestling. That was a TV show, this time it’s pro wrestling! Arai is excited because ever since she was a child when she thought of pro wrestling she thought of Aja Kong.
6. International Princess Title: Hikari Noa (c) Vs Yuki Aino
There is a trend I’ve noticed with a few championships in wrestling lately. Some title reigns have been fueled by the champion dying the belt in their own colours, so to speak. In some cases it is literal, see the TNT Title in AEW where the belt design has changed for every champion as each title reign is different from the one before. In other cases it is the champion using the championship as a symbol for their own personality. The International Princess Title is a fitting example of that in my opinion. Yuki Kamifuku established this story with her title reign, using it to show pride and individuality as a “Divas” style wrestler. The story passed on to Hikari Noa who is using her current title reign as a launching point to wrestle hardcore matches with the ultimate goal of becoming the Queen Of Death Matches! This is an identity the championship sorely needed after the original plan for global themed title defences went by the wayside because of the pandemic. The value of the “Tiffany Blue” belt is worth whatever the champion puts into it.
So what direction could the championship go if Yuki Aino defeats Noa? Aino has been on fire at a time when people did not expect her to be, scoring pinfall wins over major players on the roster Noa included. In fact Aino has beaten Noa in both of their previous singles encounters. For this match the challenger is going to fight with everything from the bottom of her heart. Noa is happy to provide the craziest matches in order to defend the cutest of title belts. She has a bad history of losing tag partners but if she stays strong, the IP Title will never leave her.
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel (c) Vs Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki
In June 2019 a previous version of NEO Biishiki-gun won the Princess Tag Team Titles from The Magical Sugar Rabbits. Since then neither Yuka Sakazaki nor Mizuki have challenged for the belts. During this period Sakisama would show interest in convincing Mizuki to join her unit because she seems to be the only person on the roster Sakisama thinks is somewhat graceful, pretty and beautiful. Mizuki would always turn her down because there is nothing beautiful about NEO Biishiki-gun! The only thing attractive about them is the Princess Tag Titles. MagiRabi now want to win back the belts and in doing so make the world a more peaceful place in the process.
The challengers have had a busy 12 months leading up to this point. Sakazaki defeated Mizuki in the main event of the first “WRESTLE PRINCESS”. Since then Sakazaki had several AEW matches in Japan and America. First she reached the final in the Japan Bracket of the AEW Women’s World Title Eliminator Tournament. Then she spent all of July wrestling in America undefeated, including winning a match on Dynamite. Mizuki’s big focus was attempting a three-peat in the Tokyo Princess Cup but she was eliminated in the semi-final. Getting to wrestle in Ota Ward makes them feel like they are entering a new stage to have fun in TJPW. All they need now is to become champions again.
That’s the hard part. Sakisama and NEO Biishiki-gun are a constant presence surrounding this championship. Mei Saint-Michel is but the third partner to hold these belts with Sakisama. It was recently Saint-Michel’s birthday and she would like nothing more but to successfully defend the titles in Ota Ward Gymnasium for her birthday gift. Sakisama is going to enjoy the match too because she gets to hunt a Cockatiel (Sakazaki) and a Pink Rabbit (Mizuki). Sakazaki has never wrestled Saint-Michel before but she reminds her of someone else. Somebody more pure, with a good personality and also very fast. That gives MagiRabi the idea to use speed in order to catch their opponents off guard and win.
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Maki Itoh
It feels like Miyu Yamashita has done it all with the Princess Title. Most title reigns, most title defences, won it in Korakuen Hall, defended it in New York, defended it in Saitama Super Arena. Now she gets to defend it in Ota Ward Gymnasium for TJPW’s biggest show yet. You’d think she would have her fill but she continues aiming to make the company bigger with herself at the helm. On paper this title defence shouldn’t be any different from the previous bouts against the challenger. But something is different this time…
Until this summer Maki Itoh never got the happy ending to her story. There would be flashes of success and brief moments of glory in the ring that would vanish as quickly as they came. Growing support overseas didn’t make up for a lack of support in her home country. No matter how hard she tried it would eventually end in pain.
Then 2021 happened. And holy fucking shit I did not see this coming.
In January Yamashita knocked out Itoh, winning their most recent singles match together. How do you bounce back from that? With the tweet heard around the world. “HELLO MOTHER FUCKERS!” Itoh introduces herself to AEW and the wrestling world was never the same. Yamashita & Itoh then start teaming together as 121000000 (One To Million). In March, Itoh surprises everyone again by travelling to America so she could wrestle for AEW in Florida. She returns to Japan in April ready to win the Princess Title from Rika Tatsumi but fails once again. May comes along and Itoh gets put on the cover of Pro Wrestling Illustrated, which at this point is now just a blip on what has become the craziest year in wrestling since 2001. Then summer comes along and Itoh begins the journey to finally end her fairytale on a happy note.
The 2021 Tokyo Princess Cup was built around three people. Mizuki aiming for the three-peat, Yamashita aiming to finally win the one prize she never could and Itoh aiming to reach and beat both. Yamashita fell to Mizuki in the quarter-final. There waiting for Mizuki in the semi-final was Itoh. The next 48 hours saw Itoh submit her former Itoh Respect Army ally and then submit Shoko Nakajima in the grand final to win the Princess Cup! Now Itoh is running on a 10 single match winning streak. All the pressure and pain Itoh lived through has been worth it. All she has to say now is Ota Ward will see the best version of Maki Itoh.
