TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~AUTUMN TOUR OPENING ROUND~” Results

September 3, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~AUTUMN TOUR OPENING ROUND~”, 03/09/2023
Tokyo Otemachi Mitsui Hall
295 Fans

1. Toga defeated Shino Suzuki with the Rock Bottom (6:13).
2. Yuki Aino defeated Haru Kazashiro with the Venus DDT (7:21).
3. Moka Miyamoto, HIMAWARI & Wakana Uehara defeated Haruna Neko, Kaya Toribami & Runa Okubo when Miyamoto submitted Okubo with the Rashomon (11:09).
4. Hikari Noa defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Blizzard Suplex (7:45).
5. Mizuki defeated Juria Nagano with the Diving Foot Stomp (9:35).
6. 8-Woman Tag Match: Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao, Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Nakajima pinned Harajuku with the Diving Senton (21:01).

Four of the teams involved in the Princess Tag Team Titles mini-tournament were thrown into an 8-Woman Tag Match. It wasn’t until the show itself when Daydream found out they were teaming with RakuPom while Kyoraku Kyomei were with Toyo Mates. Both sides had trouble teaming with each other either by arguing over what moves to use or missing their double team moves altogether. Raku & Pom Harajuku did show off their new move the La La La Pop~♪ ♪ which is a Cross-Arm Double Facecrusher. However Hyper Misao caught Harajuku and set her up for Shoko Nakajima to hit the Diving Senton for the win.

Nakajima thinks Kyoraku Kyomei are in perfect condition to become the next Princess Tag Champions. Misao said it’s time for them to move forward because she doesn’t want to miss any more opportunities at winning the title. Yuki Kamifuku remembers it was a year ago when she and Mahiro Kiryu got a title shot and she is still proud of that match. She doesn’t want to team with anyone else but Kiryu and whenever she did she never thought they were as good a tag partner as her. Miu Watanabe wants to win the tag titles and wait for The Magical Sugar Rabbits to return, otherwise she and Rika Tatsumi will go beat up Tetsuya Koda. Raku & Harajuku think they need more power to succeed so they are going to eat more grilled meat.

A new documentary series starting this month on Tokyo Joshi Pro’s Youtube channel will be focused on five of TJPW’s younger wrestlers. “Next Generation” is being produced by the same crew behind Yume Pro Wrestling. It will run for five weeks with episodes dedicated to Arisu Endo, Wakana Uehara, Haru Kazashiro, Shino Suzuki and Moka Miyamoto. All five were chosen because none of them have won a championship yet.

Before I Go To All In This Weekend

August 23, 2023

I’ll be travelling to England this weekend to see AEW in Wembley. I will also be at the EVE/ChocoPro show on Saturday night to see what Miyu Yamashita will get up to. I’ll be around to post the results for tomorrow’s Baka Gaijin show but after that my next post here won’t be until Monday night at the very earliest. If the build up of news and reports after I come back is too much I may delay this month’s DDT Around The World article by a few days. But I’m not going to get worried over that right now. Should be a fun weekend.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. SEVEN: CHRISSY B’S BIRTHDAY BASH”, 24/08/2023
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: Mecha Mummy (w/ Mad Dr. Ueki) Vs Takeshi Masada
2. Special Single Match: Antonio Honda Vs Ram Kaichow
3. Special Single Match: Hagane Shinno Vs Maya Yukihi
4. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Yoshihiko

The show will include a performance by Bed In idol Kaori Masukodera.

Furitsuke Kamen (the masked alter ego of Lucky Ikeda) will be at the show to perform a “Pro Wrestling Gymnastics” routine.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~AUTUMN TOUR OPENING ROUND~”, 03/09/2023
Tokyo Otemachi Mitsui Hall

1. Toga Vs Shino Suzuki
2. Yuki Aino Vs Haru Kazashiro
3. Moka Miyamoto, HIMAWARI & Wakana Uehara Vs Haruna Neko, Kaya Toribami & Runa Okubo
4. Hikari Noa Vs Suzume
5. Mizuki Vs Juria Nagano
6. 8-Woman Tag Match: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe, Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao, Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu, Raku & Pom Harajuku

In a preview of the upcoming Princess Tag Team Titles tournament, four of the teams involved will be put into an 8-Woman Tag Match. A lottery will determine which teams will be teaming up with each other. The four taking part are Daydream, Kyoraku Kyomei, Toyo Mates and Raku & Pom Harajuku.

A first time ever singles match between Mizuki and Juria Nagano takes place on the show.

Miyu Yamashita, Nao Kakuta and Arisu Endo will still be absent for the same reasons they are missing this weekend’s Osaka show. Yamashita is in England, Kakuta is in a stage play and Endo is injured.

DDT “DRAMATIC EXPLOSION 2023”, 18/09/2023
Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall

1. Current Blast Death Match: Atsushi Onita & Yoshitatsu Vs Jun Akiyama & Kotaro Suzuki

It used to be that Jun Akiyama never wanted to do Explosion Death Matches and now he’s going to do two in the same month! Akiyama already has one coming up on 9th September and now Atsushi Onita convinced him to take part in another one nine days later. However if Akiyama’s team beats Onita’s team on the 9th then Akiyama & Kotaro Suzuki’s match here against Onita & Yoshitatsu will have the All Asia Tag Team Titles on the line. If not then this will be a non-title match. Either way, Onita has dragged Akiyama into doing his specialty death match twice!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS IV”, 09/10/2023
Tokyo Tama Mirai Messe

1. Sakisama, Mei Saint-Michel, Martha & Yukio Saint Laurent Vs X, X, X & X

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR IN SPRING ’23” Results

May 20, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR IN SPRING ’23”, 20/05/2023
Tokyo Otemachi Mitsui Hall
272 Fans

1. Mahiro Kiryu defeated Toga with the Spinebuster (7:46).
2. Hyper Misao defeated Shino Suzuki with the Chickenwing Face Lock (8:29).
3. Shoko Nakajima, Suzume, & Haru Kazashiro defeated Ryo Mizunami, Kaya Toribami & Yoshiko Hasegawa when Nakajima pinned Toribami with the Northern Lights Suplex (15:04).
4. Yuki Kamifuku defeated HIMAWARI with the Famouser (7:06).
5. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Wakana Uehara when Raku pinned Uehara with the Doctor Yellow (11:04).
6. Mizuki & Moka Miyamoto defeated Miu Watanabe & Arisu Endo when Mizuki pinned Endo with the Diving Foot Stomp (14:15).

Mizuki got a taste of what to expect when The Magical Sugar Rabbits face Daydream one more time on 11th June thanks to Miu Watanabe. During the main event Mizuki missed a Basement Dropkick aimed for Arisu Endo, went feet first through the ropes and was caught into Watanabe’s Giant Swing outside the ring. However with thanks to some help from Moka Miyamoto, Mizuki regained her footing and pinned Endo to win the match.

Afterwards Mizuki praised Watanabe, Endo and Miyamoto for the performance and feels like her juniors are now catching up to her. It proves to her that Tokyo Joshi Pro is at a position where the wrestlers who are sick or injured can rest easily while the wrestlers who want to go pursue their dreams elsewhere can do so with confidence. Meanwhile Mizuki will be staying here to make sure everyone currently missing from TJPW can come back without any worries. Backstage Watanabe joked that her team lost because Endo’s new dye job for her hair is too flashy. Endo explained to her that she lives her life with flamboyance.

The “Love Triangle” of Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku proved their recent trios tournament win was not a fluke. Their opponents had to forfeit their place in the tournament but today’s result proves that Aino, Raku & Harajuku’s recent success is deserved.

Hyper Misao asked Shino Suzuki if she could become a tour guide too. Suzuki considered the request until Misao demanded she take her tour flag. From there the two of them fought the first half of their match over that flag.

At the start of the show Yuki Arai told the fans she is upset and frustrated that she couldn’t wrestle today due to a foot injury she suffered during a SKE48 rehearsal. She has to take a break from wrestling to recover but promises to come back stronger.

Miyu Yamashita Vs Sawyer Wreck was announced for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’23” on 8th July. It will be Yamashita’s first match in Tokyo in 3 and a half months.

The Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Takuya Wada rivalry continues. Katsumura is having fun doing the matches but Wada hasn’t liked it when he loses to him.

Twelve years ago Shinichiro Tominaga faced Hikaru Sato during his rookie year in Union Pro. They have not faced each other since then.

Yoshiaki Yatsu comes back to DDT to team up with BURNING’s top two in command.

Depending on the result, if ShunMao aren’t careful against Pheromones they may end up having to give them a rematch for the KO-D Tag Team Titles somewhere down the line.

Also two of Ehime’s joshi wrestlers Char and Tsuruhimeka are part of a mixed tag match.

Australian wrestler Mitch Ryder is coming over to GanPro to team with his fellow countryman Hartley Jackson.

Moeka Haruhi’s surgery to donate one of her kidneys has been scheduled for late June so she is able to continue wrestling for a few more weeks. That means she gets to show up at GanPro again after already saying goodbye and have a few extra matches there.

GANBARE☆PRO “WRESTLE YUMEHITO FACTORY 2023”, 28/05/2023

He also decided to do a tag team match between the old generation and the new generation. The joshi match will have both Haruhi and YuuRI wrestling in “arena” branded swimsuits. The opening match will be a Rumble where everyone will enter to Imanari’s theme song “POISON ~In This World Where I Can’t Say What I Want To Say~” by Takashi Sorimachi. Every participant will also have to represent Imanari in some way so I think there is going to be several impersonations of his different gimmicks during the match.

GANBARE☆PRO “GANBARE☆PRO WRESTLING PLAYERS ASSOCIATION PERFORMANCE”, 28/05/2023

1. Miyako Matsumoto & Alex Lee Vs Marika Kobashi & Echika Miyabi
2. Riara Vs Ancham
3. GanJo Vs JUST TAP OUT! Special Tag Match: YuuRI & Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Sumika Yanagawa & Misa Kagura

It’s only a little bit relevant here but JUST TAP OUT is going to changed their name in July to celebrate their 4th anniversary, shortening it down to their initials JTO. They’re keeping the logo the same though.

Riara is getting some more valuable in-ring experience, this time getting a match against Ancham.

The women of Ganbare☆Joshi do not want to deal with Miyako Matsumoto and her new partner in crime Alex Lee so a team from P.P.P. Tokyo will face them instead. PPP are fresh off of their first time in Korakuen Hall so Marika Kobashi & Echika Miyabi must both be feeling extra motivated to represent their company.

Nao Kakuta pulled out of the show resulting in her team with Hikari Noa & Wakana Uehara getting eliminated by forfeit. Here the three of them have a chance to make up for that let down. Over on the other side it’s up to Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku to prove that their tournament victory was no fluke.

The DDT Extreme Title will be on the line in a Piercing Death Match. Shunma Katsumata noticed that Hideki Okatani has no experience with getting ear piercings so he came up with a match where you can win by piercing your opponent’s ear three times! They can win the death match by the other usual means but everything will be provided so they can achieve the goal of sticking stuff through their opponent’s earlobes.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 3RD “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT” Results

January 15, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 3RD “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT”, 15/01/2023
Tokyo Otemachi Mitsui Hall
310 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Shoko Nakajima defeated Wakana Uehara with the Northern Lights Suplex (7:00).
2. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao defeated Mizuki and Pom Harajuku when Misao pinned Harajuku with La Magistral Cradle (7:48).
3. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & HIMAWARI defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & Kaya Toribami when Watanabe pinned Toribami with the Tear Drop (11:34).
4. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Moka Miyamoto & Juria Nagano defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Nagano pinned Kiryu with the Senpukyaku (11:04).
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Saki Akai & Yuki Arai defeated Yuki Aino & Raku when Akai submitted Raku with the Extreme Triangle Choke (13:46).
6. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta when Yamashita pinned Kakuta with the Skull Kick (11:41).

And we’re off with that start of the 3rd annual “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament. Ten teams are taking part and in order to fit them all into a single elimination bracket the opening round was a short one. In fact the main event of today’s show was a 2nd Round match where 121000000 knocked out Free WiFi. It was a close call because Free WiFi threw everything that had at them. There was a moment where Free WiFi got Miyu Yamashita with a Thrust Kick Sandwich. Nao Kakuta then put Yamashita in a Crucifix Pin while Hikari Noa applied the Rotating Leg Hold for a double pin attempt. Maki Itoh broke the pin and put Noa in the Itoh Deluxe. That gave Yamashita the opening to strike Kakuta with the Skull Kick and get the victory.

After the match Yamashita said she is feeling fine coming back from her concussion and the result proved it. Itoh agreed and said Yamashita behaved like a demon in the ring today. Yamashita wants to win the tournament because she thinks it is about time she wins the Princess Tag Team Titles with Itoh. Backstage Noa is frustrated over losing but there is something positive coming out of it. Free WiFi is the first tag team she’s been a part of that’s lasted longer than a year! The longer it lasts the more important it becomes. Kakuta pointed out that in almost every Tokyo Joshi Pro tournament she’s been a part of, she’s been eliminated by Yamashita. She agrees with Noa that their team should stick together, stay positive and become unbreakable.

Back in November Yuki Aino & Raku were supposed to face Reiwa AA Cannon for the Princess Tag Titles but Raku had to pull out with covid. Today was their chance to beat one of the top teams in TJPW but the challenge was just too great to climb over. They were able to block the Double Rookie Awards with a pillow but Saki Akai stopped Raku’s Doctor Yellow with a High Kick. Akai then put Raku in a Triangle Choke while Yuki Arai kicked Aino away. Raku gave up after Akai grabbed her arm and put it in a Kimura while still applying the Choke. Akai said her team’s thought process going into the match was very different than what it would have been if they were still the champions. They are back to square one and recognised they were fighting against strong opponents. Raku said with Pom Harajuku cheering them on she felt like her team had a 3-on-2 advantage. They are standing at the foot of the mountain after today but she still wants to climb that mountain.

The Karate Tag duo of Moka Miyamoto & Juria Nagano kicked off the tournament with a loud message by eliminating Toyo Mates in an upset. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu were in control and even hit their Big Boot/Spinebuster combo on Nagano. Kiryu then put her lesser experienced opponent in a Crab Hold but Nagano fought her way to reach the ropes. Kiryu tried to finish her off with the Spinebuster but Miyamoto cut her off with the Zero Fighter Kick. Immediately after that Nagano got Kiryu with the Senpukyaku kick to get the win. Kamifuku took her frustration out on Kiryu backstage, blaming her for getting eliminated in the 1st Round. She then realised her insults was making her tag partner upset and took those comments back.

Today’s results mean Reiwa AA Cannon and Karate Tag both advance to the 2nd Round matches on 19th January while 121000000 go straight through to the semi-finals. Reiwa AA Cannon takes on Daydream in Round 2. Arai remembers losing to them in last year’s tournament so she wants to get revenge with Akai as her partner this year. Karate Tag meets Daisy Monkey in their 2nd Round bout. It is the rematch of Nagango’s debut from last March. Nagano’s bond with Miyamoto is getting stronger so she wants both of them to crush Daisy Monkey together. The winners of that match will face 121000000 in the semi-final on 29th January.

Ueno’s Universal Blueprint, Tournament Updates

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2023 TOUR IN SHINJUKU ~FIRE!~”, 13/01/2023
Shinjuku FACE

1. Keigo Nakamura Comeback Match: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada Vs HARASHIMA, Hideki Okatani & Keigo Nakamura
2. MJ Paul & KANON Vs Antonio Honda & Kazuma Sumi
3. Shunma Katsumata Pheromones One Day Experience Match: Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Shunma Katsumata Vs Akito, Kazuki Hirata & Yuya Koroku

6. Special Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Fuminori Abe Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
7. Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida Vs Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya
8. DDT Universal Title – Survival 3 Way Match: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Naruki Doi Vs Daisuke Sasaki

The three wrestlers taking part in the DDT Universal Title match all met for a press conference held yesterday. Naruki Doi said he is ready to continue his fight with Daisuke Sasaki after the two went to a 30 minute draw over a week ago. He expects to settle his score with Sasaki first, then beat Yuki Ueno to win the title. Sasaki (who was drinking) said the match does not need Ueno and he accused him of devaluing the Universal Title after Ueno lost to Kazusada Higuchi at “NEVER MIND 2022”. Sasaki thinks it is now up to him and Doi to make the belt be worth more than the KO-D Openweight Title. Ueno calmly ignored Sasaki’s insults and spoke about his upcoming plans with the title. After he defends it tomorrow, he will put the belt on the line against Samuray Del Sol on 21st March and then he will bring it with him to America. It is his dream to defend the Universal Title in the USA so everything from here on out will be a journey towards that destination.

Before tomorrow’s show begins there will be a contract signing for both the DDT Extreme Title Match for 21st January and the KO-D Tag Team Titles Match for 29th January.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 3RD “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT”, 15/01/2023
Tokyo Otemachi Mitsui Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Wakana Uehara
2. 3 Way Match: Mizuki Vs Hyper Misao Vs Pom Harajuku
3. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & HIMAWARI Vs Suzume, Arisu Endo & Kaya Toribami
4. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2B: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1A: Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Moka Miyamoto & Juria Nagano
6. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1B: Saki Akai & Yuki Arai Vs Yuki Aino & Raku

The Max Heart Tournament begins and I have to rewrite the tournament layout because 121000000 Vs Free WiFi is put down as part of the 2nd Round even though it will be both team’s first match.

Wakana Uehara gets her wish and will face Shoko Nakajima. The way it plays out in her head is it will be a high flying battle in the skies. It’s probably not going to turn out that way.

BASARA “BASARA 208 ~HATAAGE ANNIVERSARY~”, 21/01/2023
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Yasu Urano

The last few months of 2022 saw a bit of a career revival for Yasu Urano thanks to successes in both BASARA and JUST TAP OUT. It’s up to Isami Kodaka to make sure the freelancer does not spoil BASARA’s 7th anniversary by defending the Union MAX Title against him.

Fuminori Abe will have his first match in BASARA since going freelance on this show.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2023 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 21/01/2023
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Yuki Ueno, Toi Kojima & Shinichiro Kawamatsu Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Akito & Makoto Oishi
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ishida & Chris Brookes Vs Yuji Hino, Yukio Naya & Hideki Okatani
3. Yokohama Two Major Singles Match I: Yusuke Okada Vs Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno
4. Yokohama Two Major Singles Match II: Tetsuya Endo Vs Yuki “Sexy” Iino
5. DDT Extreme Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Antonio Honda

Higuchi and Yuji Hino return to the venue where their 30 minute draw took place. The 6-Man Tag here will be their last meeting before the KO-D Title bout on the 29th.

If Shinichiro Kawamatsu wrestles in a suit does that mean he wears one in the sauna too? That is my first thought after finding out he will team with The 37KAMIINA.

GANBARE☆PRO “TRANSPORTER 2023”, 28/01/2023
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Young Ganbare Cup: Yumehito Imanari (2) Vs Kentaro Hachisu (2)
2. Young Ganbare Cup: Yuki Kanzaki (0) Vs Munetatsu Nakamura (0)
3. Yuna Manase Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa
4. Mizuki Watase & Tyson Maeguchi Vs Ken Ohka & Thanomsak Toba

What a start to the year Mizuki Watase and Tyson Maeguchi had. The two had a great match for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title and now they are teaming up together for a clash against Ken Ohka & Thanomsak Toba.

Yuna Manase versus Yoshiko Hasegawa is a first time singles match between the two.

Over in the Young Ganbare Cup either Yumehito Imanari or Kentaro Hachisu can get one win closer to winning the tournament outright if one can beat the other. Meanwhile when Yuki Kanzaki and Munetatsu Nakamura face each other one of them can get their first win in Ganbare☆Pro.

GANBARE☆PRO “SHUICHIRO KATSUMURA PRODUCE”, 28/01/2023
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. 3-Man Grappling Match: Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Munetatsu Nakamura, HARUKAZE & X
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shuichiro Katsumura, Tsuyoshi Okada & Tyson Maeguchi Vs HARASHIMA, Mizuki Watase & Keisuke Ishii

Shuichiro Katsumura is keeping himself busy for his show during the tripleshot. Not only is he doing the main event but he is running the gauntlet by taking part in three grappling rules bouts with no striking allowed. Each bout will have a five minute time limit and victory can be achieved by submission or referee stoppage. If a bout goes to a time limit draw then whoever made the least rope breaks will win. If both wrestlers have the same amount then it will remain a tie.

GANBARE☆PRO “GANBARE☆PRO WRESTLING PLAYERS ASSOCIATION PERFORMANCE”, 28/01/2023
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Young Ganbare Cup: Yumehito Imanari (2) Vs Yuki Kanzaki (0)
2. Young Ganbare Cup: Kentaro Hachisu (2) Vs Munetatsu Nakamura (0)
3. Oji Specialty GanPro Style Survival 8-Man Tag Match: Mizuki Watase, Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Soma Takao Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shota, Shinichiro Tominaga & Hartley Jackson

One of the other shows for the tripleshot brings back the Ganpro Survival Tag Match.

If nobody in the Young Ganbare Cup has won all three of their matches then the wrestlers who finish in the top two will face off in a final match to determine the tournament champion.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2023 IN OSAKA”, 05/02/2023
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall

1. D GENERATIONS CUP – A Block: Hideki Okatani Vs Ilusion

4. Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada Vs HARASHIMA, Yukio Sakaguchi & Kazuki Hirata
5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs Yukio Naya & Takeshi Masada

Ueno and Yukio Naya face each other for the first time since the D-Ou Grand Prix final.

Naruki Doi will be on the show.

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA 2023”, 18/02/2023
Aichi Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall

1. D GENERATIONS CUP – A Block: Hideki Okatani Vs Yuya Koroku
2. D GENERATIONS CUP – B Block: Toi Kojima Vs Takeshi Masada
3. DDT Extreme Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs X

The 3rd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament

December 22, 2022

The “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament is back for a third year in a row, landing once again in the late winter/early spring part of the calendar. The goal of the tournament as always is to determine the strongest tag team in Tokyo Joshi Pro. That might be contested no matter who wins it this time around because there is a major absence from one duo. The Magical Sugar Rabbits are not entering the 2023 tournament! Yuka Sakazaki will be spending part of January wrestling in America and is not be available to compete on some of the shows. In response to this Mizuki is refusing to enter the tournament because she does not want to enter it with anyone else but Sakazaki. Pom Harajuku also decided to skip it because she wants to put all of her energy into fully supporting Yuki Aino & Raku as a team. It leaves 121000000, Kyoraku Kyomei and last year’s winners Daydream as the only teams to have entered all three tournaments.

– Reiwa AA Cannon (Saki Akai & Yuki Arai)
– Daydream (Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe)
– 121000000 (Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh)
– Kyoraku Kyomei (Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao)
– Free WiFi (Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta)
– Toyo Mates (Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu)
– Yuki Aino & Raku
– Daisy Monkey (Suzume & Arisu Endo)
– Karate Tag (Moka Miyamoto & Juria Nagano)
– Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami
