6. International Princess Title: Thunder Rosa defeated Maki Itoh (c) with the Thunder Driver (14:33). *Maki Itoh fails in V3. Thunder Rosa becomes the 4th International Princess Champion!
Maki Itoh’s decision to defend the International Princess Title on a day’s notice ended up backfiring on her. Thunder Rosa beat her to become the new champion! The match went pear shaped for Itoh when she missed the Flying Big Head. Rosa got out of the way and pinned Itoh with the Thunder Driver. Rosa said afterwards that it’s been her dream to wrestle in Japan and become a champion here since 2015. Today she achieved her dream! Also since she is able to wrestle around the world now, that means the International Princess Title can truly become an international championship.
Mina Shirakawa shouted out a tribute to Jushin Liger when she did the Romero Special during her match. Since he is retiring today, she thinks it is up to her to inherit the move.
The 3 Way Match was wrestled more like a Handicap match with Yuki Kamifuku and Mahiro Kiryu joining forces to fight Shoko Nakajima. She still won.
Hyper Misao’s new ring name for a month is Akemi Daredasore. Nakajima chose the name from a conversation they once had about what Misao’s student pro wrestling name would be. They came up with that. Nakajima also said she may change the name whenever the mood suits her. Daredasore wrestled in a green schoolgirl uniform because she wanted to be cute like Pom Harajuku. She also brought out tapioca tea to share with Harajuku but Daredasore almost choked on it. Harajuku found out during the match ther her Leg Kicks were ineffective because Daredasore’s large socks were acting as shin guards. So Harajuku got a pair of scissors to cut the socks off. Daredasore missed the I Am A Hero but Harajuku also missed the Pom du Justice. Daredasore was able to roll Harajuku into a pin and placed her feet on the ropes for leverage.

2020 has been wild already, huh? Tokyo Joshi Pro kicked off their year with the annual Ittenyon show at Korakuen Hall. In the main event Yuka Sakazaki was able to banish the ghost and finally beat Miyu Yamashita in a Princess Of Princess Title match. It took all of the champion’s creativity to get the job done. During an out of the ring skirmish, Sakazaki placed Yamashita on a flat table and slid her down the Korakuen steps. The challenger got her own back by throwing Sakazaki onto the ring apron with the Attitude Adjustment. Later Sakazaki went for the Magical Girl Splash but Yamashita was up on her feet and stopped the move with a High Kick. Sakazaki went for the Mil Clutch α that pinned Yamashita a week ago but this time it was countered into a German Suplex. Things were heading towards a familiar ending when Yamashita set up the Crash Rabbit Heat. But Sakazaki dodged it and used the Merry Go Round to put Yamashita in position for the match ending Magical Magical Girl Splash. Sakazaki thought she was going to die in the match but she was able to fly instead. With so many people here to watch Tokyo Joshi today, she can feel the company growing bigger. She wants everyone to continue following her and TJPW throughout the year.
Daydream had to go through one of the longest running teams in Tokyo Joshi to defend their Princess Tag Team Titles. They were in danger when The Bakuretsu Sisters had Miu Watanabe in place for the Bakuretsu Bulldog. Watanabe was rescued by Rika Tatsumi who gave Nodoka Tenma the Dragon Twist Of Fate and also the Hip Attack. Yuki Aino tried to fight off Watanabe but she fell to the Tear Drop.
Maki Itoh began the day’s clean sweep for Princess champions when she defeated Hikari Noa. A Body Slam on the floor outside the ring and also a crab hold wore down the challenger. There wasn’t much left in the tank for Noa when she was placed in the Itoh Special yet she still hung on. Itoh got her opponent to submit when she modified the Itoh Special into a new version called the Itoh Deluxe.
Itoh was thanking the fans for coming to support her when Thunder Rosa entered the ring. She said Itoh has not fought a challenger like her yet and she wants an International Princess Title shot. Itoh suggested they do the match in Itabashi tomorrow! They both agreed to it by sticking their middle fingers in each other’s faces.
Rosa earned her case for a title shot by beating Itoh’s former tag partner Mizuki. The plucky Mizuki did hit some high Cross Body Blocks but when Rosa hit a Double Stomp and the Thunder Driver, it was all over. Rosa has respect for Mizuki and is honored to have wrestled her. Her sights are set on winning a championship during her short tour. She tried this before and couldn’t capitalize. This time she won’t waste her chance.
According to Kero Tanaka during the introduction, today is the first time in 3 years and 4 months Natsumi Maki and Sareee got to wrestle a singles match against each other. It was Maki’s return match from injury so she could have blamed her ring rust for losing. But instead she had tears of joy for getting to wrestle again. All the pain she felt in the ring was worth it. Sareee was also happy to wrestle her too. I mean she should be because they are close friends outside of the ring.
We’ll take a detour here to talk about what happened backstage after Matches #3 & #4. After Saki Akai’s match, her post-match interview was cut short by an ambush from Aja Kong. Kong pinned Akai to win the Iron Man Heavyweight Title then ran off to make her entrance for the next match. Akai had to continue on with her interview like nothing happened. Then after Kong’s match, Akai snuck into her backstage interview disguised as a janitor. She attacked Kong with a dustpan to win back the Iron Man Title. A confused Kong was left asking her tag partners why they didn’t stop the cleaning lady from attacking her?
Anyway back to what happened in the ring. Kong came out parading the Iron Man Title around. She joined with Raku & Pom Harajuku for the Goodnight Express on Mina Shirakawa. However Shirakawa, Yuna Manase & Mirai Maiumi all got to show their power by getting the better of Kong at different moments. However Kong got the pin on Maiumi with the Backwards Diving Elbow Drop to end the match. Kong’s team won the match but Manase & Shirakawa still tried to get their hands on the Iron Man Title.
Akai’s match with Yuki Kamifuku became an Iron Man Title match because Akai won the belt in DDT yesterday. Kamifuku came close to winning with the Fame Asser but Akai got a rope break. Akai hit a Diving Cross Body followed by the Quetzalcoatl for the win.
In the build up to Hyper Misao’s return match against Shoko Nakajima, the two wrestlers dared each other to put their names on the line. So it was agreed that whoever lost the match will have to use a new name chosen by the winner for one month. A large pinata ball was hung above the ring with a banner inside. Whoever climbed the ladder, broke the pinata and pulled out the banner would be the winner. Also both wrestlers were allowed to bring a weapon with them. Nakajima brought along a collection of kaiju action figures. Misao announced that her weapon was Tokyo Joshi’s producer Tetsuya Koda! He agreed to help out because Misao offered him a ticket for a Hello! Project concert. However, Misao was knocked onto the kaiju toys, the Hello! Project ticket was ripped apart during a fight on the ladder and Nakajima got the banner out of the pinata to win. Nakajima will come up with Misao’s new ring name soon.
The opening match was Sena Shiori’s debut. Her and Suzume in particular shared plenty of time in the ring. Haruna Neko held Mahiro Kiryu back while Suzume submitted Shiori with a Sleeper Hold. Shiori said she wants to become a cool wrestler who can easily face against everyone.
It was announced during the show that the 2020 Tokyo Princess Cup will begin on 23rd May and the final will be held in Korakuen on 23rd July. Also Tokyo Joshi Pro’s biggest show in history will be at the Tokyo Dome City Hall on 7th November! This is the same venue where Bull Nakano held her retirement show back in 2012.

5b. Yuka Sakazaki defeated Miyu Yamashita with the Mil Clutch α (4:34).
5c. Maki Itoh defeated Hikari Noa with the Flying Big Head (5:25).
The final Tokyo Joshi Pro show for 2019 featured a best two out of three fall main event. The current champions all joined forces to take on their 4th January opponents in an 8-Woman Tag Match. While there were plenty of match-ups mixed up together, each fall focused on a particular pairing for 4/1. The first fall went to the challengers when Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino used the Bakuretsu Bulldog on Miu Watanabe.
The champion team equalized by winning the second fall. This time the finish was all about the Ittenyon main event between Yuka Sakazaki and Miyu Yamashita. Sakazaki avoided the Attitude Adjustment then caught her opponent by surprise by pinning her with the Mil Clutch α, the move used by her rarely seen sister Mil Clown.
The deciding fall went to the champions. This time Hikari Noa called out Maki Itoh to face her in the ring. Even though they were the legal participants Sakazaki dove onto Yamashita with a Spaceman Plancha while Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi got rid of The Bakuretsu Sisters with their finishers. This left Noa all alone to get pinned by the Flying Big Head from Itoh.
After the match Itoh told Noa that this was the difference between a champion and a challenger. She advised Noa to spend the remaining days training for their title match. Sakazaki said the champions today all gained momentum. Also today is her birthday! The audience cheered for her before the roster filled the ring to close out the show.
Sakisama admitted that Pom Harajuku was more of a challenge than she thought. She will be heading home to Paris after today but don’t cry, she will see everyone again. That’s a promise.

2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii & Kazuki Hirata
Unfortunately Mike Bailey’s visa documents needed to enter Japan were lost by the international courier service. That means Bailey is unable to visit Japan next month and cannot be on the DDT shows. Bailey and DDT are currently working together for him to obtain his visa so he can wrestle here again as soon as possible.
Bailey’s problem means he will be replaced in the title matches he was previously booked for. Keisuke Ishii & Kazuki Hirata stepped up to challenge for the KO-D Tag Titles. Ishii said he has had a good 2019 and wants to have an even better start for 2020 by winning a championship. He thinks he and Hirata can do it if Hirata puts fourth the same amount of effort as he did in last week’s Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title match.
DDT “WRESTLE SHIOKONBU! 2020”, 12/01/2020 Osaka City Suminoe Maikon Hall
Bailey’s DDT Extreme Title shot now goes to Pokotan! Apparently nobody asked for the spot when it opened up so it was there for Pokotan to take it.

7. Christmas Special 4 Big Singles Match: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Mina Shirakawa with the Magical Magical Girl Splash (7:18).
The Tokyo Joshi Pro Christmas show had a couple of presents in store for everyone. Four singles matches were determined by a lottery. In the main event Yuka Sakazaki and Mina Shirakawa faced off. Shirakawa had lost the Best Body Japan Women’s Title earlier this week so an opportunity to wrestle the Princess Of Princess Champion would be a great way to bounce back from that. However Sakazaki was able to beat her by countering the Implant DDT into the Merry-Go-Round. The Magical Magical Girl Splash afterwards finished the match. Sakazaki gave Shirakawa credit for getting stronger. She told everyone to go out and enjoy what’s left of this year.
It wasn’t a win but Hikari Noa can keep her head held high for going to a time limit draw with Mizuki. She wasn’t even at much of a risk of losing when the time expired. Mizuki went for the Diving Foot Stomp and Noa rolled out of the way, avoiding the move. So you can’t say she was saved by the bell.
Yuna Manase, Pom Harajuku and Mahiro Kiryu took part in a lottery to determine who would team with Sakisama in Match #3. Kiryu pulled out the piece of paper with the drawing of a rose on it, which meant she got the spot. Unfortunately nobody told Sakisama. She asked why did she have to team with “such a poor smelly child.” She agreed to team with Kiryu and ordered her not to mess up. Whether she did or not, you can be the judge. Sakisama went to do the Big Boot into the corner, Harajuku dodged it, Kiryu took the boot and Harajuku rolled her up for the three count. Sakisama blamed Kiryu for the loss but Kiryu stood up to her! She lost today but she didn’t lose to Sakisama and someday… she will definitely beat her! Surprisingly, Sakisama was somewhat impressed by Kiryu’s attitude. She told Kiryu to get stronger and to be patient for her to return from Paris.
The show featured a few important returns outside of the matches. Hyper Misao reappeared after the 3 Way Match to surprise Shoko Nakajima. Misao returned because she thinks there are not enough heroes in Tokyo Joshi. Her goal for 2020 is to make everyone in TJPW a superhero! She said if she beats Nakajima on 4th January then Nakajima will have to rename herself Hyper Shoko. This idea annoys Nakajima because she likes being a kaiju and she doesn’t want to lose the “Nakajima” part of her name either. Maybe if she beats Misao then Misao will have to be a kaiju and change her name? Nakajima was about to suggest one using Misao’s real name but before she could finish, Misao called for her music to play and left the ring.
Natsumi Maki appeared at the start of the show to announce her return match on 4th January. Maki suffered a knee injury in her first International Princess Title defence against Yuna Manase in September. She successfully got it surgically repaired and had been training for her comeback ever since.
Last but not least, another trainee announced she will debut on the Korakuen Hall show. Shiori was first introduced to the public back in April as part of the same class as Mirai Maiumi and Suzume. She reappeared at a fan club event in August before showing up again here today. She also said from now on her ring name is Sena Shiori.
