9. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe
10. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima

During the week Tokyo Joshi Pro held another press conference to promote “GRAND PRINCESS ’22” featuring the wrestlers involved from four of the matches on the card. For Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima they will be headlining Sumo Hall, the same venue where they both had their official debuts in a dark match back in 2013. Nakajima always thought of Yamashita as the strongest wall in TJPW and a bigger kaiju than she is. No matter how many times Nakajima won against her, Yamashita would easily overturn her setbacks and go back to the top. But if Nakajima can win the Princess Of Princess Title from her in the main event of Sumo Hall, she can finally believe she has surpassed her. It is her best chance and maybe her last chance to become a bigger kaiju than Yamashita. The champion has dreamed of TJPW reaching Sumo Hall since her debut and thinks it will all be meaningless if she cannot beat her strongest challenger. She also thinks they will show everyone the future of Tokyo Joshi and beyond.

Miu Watanabe calls The Magical Sugar Rabbits her biggest obstacles given how often she has lost to them. She feels the confidence she lacked against them finally came to her when Daydream won the Max Heart Tournament. With Rika Tatsumi by her side she believes she can now break through any wall and win. Tatsumi thinks they can be even better champions now than they were during their first reign. She understands that Mizuki will hate her if she takes away the Princess Tag Team Titles from MagiRabi but she doesn’t care about that anymore. Tatsumi is prepared to be hated by Mizuki in order to become a champion again! Mizuki told her not to worry about that because MagiRabi won’t lose. Instead they will have a match that will make all of Mizuki’s fans smile. Yuka Sakazaki realizes that her friends and the supporters have brought TJPW to Ryogoku. She wants to defend the Tag Titles so they can shine even more and bring everyone a into a happy, sparkling world!

The words Maki Itoh spoke to Yuki Arai last May after Arai’s debut is what brought her to this point. Back then Itoh challenged Arai to crush her no matter how long it will take. It hasn’t even been a year but Arai thinks the time is now right for her to do that and win the International Princess Title! However she just wants to crush Itoh while Itoh wants to crush every superstar around the world! Arai has been watching her tapes and Itoh admits her opponent has the size advantage but experience wise, Itoh is confident she can deal with whatever Arai throws at her.

When the debuting Juria Nagano began training for TJPW, she was moved to tears after discovering the deep bonds the entire roster has with each other. Everyone does their best to raise each other’s spirits. She has been training in karate since she was 5 years old and looks forward to teaming with Moka Miyamoto because they are linked by traditional karate. Miyamoto promised to do her best to help Nagano win her debut match. Suzume is happy to spend precious time with Nagano and crush her with all her love. Arisu Endo believes there is no way the match won’t be exciting and Arisuzu will win.

I’ll have a full preview of the show written up next week.

Brookes Off This Week’s Shows, New Grand Princess Matches, LiLiCo Retirement Match, Genki In DDT

February 13, 2022

DDT “DDT FREE -FEBRUARY- ULTIMATE TAG LEAGUE 2022 IN SHINJUKU!!”, 14/02/2022
Shinjuku FACE

-. Ultimate Tag League 2022 – B Block: Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul (2) defeated Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi (2) by Forfeit.
0. Dark Match: Yusuke Okada Vs Yuya Koroku
1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – 5 Way Match: Toru Owashi (c) Vs Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs Masahiro Takanashi Vs Antonio Honda Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. Daisuke Sasaki, Minoru Fujita & MJ Paul Vs Akito, MAO & Yuki Ishida
3. Special Tag Match: Saki Akai & Toui Kojima Vs Maya Yukihi & Yukio Naya
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Soma Takao Vs Jun Kasai, Yuji Hino & Yukio Sakaguchi
5. DDT Extreme Title – Turkish Wrestling Rules: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs Yuki “Sexy” Iino
6. Ultimate Tag League 2022 – A Block: Tetsuya Endo & Jun Akiyama (4) Vs Shuji Kondo & Kazuki Hirata (0)
7. Ultimate Tag League 2022 – A Block: Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno (4) Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani (0)

B Block

1. HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura (4)
-. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari (4)
3. Shunma Katsumata & MAO (2)
-. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul (2)
-. Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi (2)

What an utter disaster the Ultimate Tag League has become for CDK. First Masahiro Takanashi had to pull out of a match because of covid forcing the team to forfeit against Pheromones and now Chris Brookes has been pulled from tomorrow’s show due to illness (so far not confirmed to be covid related), forcing them to forfeit another match. This time DAMNATION T.A are getting the free two points and their first win in the tournament.

The card is changes several matches as a result of this. DAMNATION T.A are now in a non-tournament match but on the plus side have Minoru Fujita with them again. The trio demolished their opponents yesterday and made it clear they want to dominate DDT. However Sasaki is being targeted by MAO because of his DDT Universal Title challenge, which Sasaki has declined over and over. Takanashi now has to take MAO’s place in the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title 5 Way Match. Another change is Yusuke Okada and Yuya Koroku becoming opponents in a dark match instead of teaming together in the opener.

DDT “HANAYORI NEPPA ~TOTONOU IN THE MIDDLE OF SHINJUKU~”, 15/02/2022
Shinjuku FACE

1. Shinya Aoki Vs Toui Kojima
2. Hardcore Judo: MAO Vs Takayuki Ueki
3. Sea Sauna Shack Presents SSS Cup Special Gauntlet Tag Match ~Beyond Totoi~: Soma Takao & Shota Vs Akito & Kazuki Hirata Vs Naomi Yoshimura & Yukio Naya Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida Vs Antonio Honda & Yoshihiko Vs Hyper Misao & Mecha Mummy
4. Vihta JP Presents Special 6-Man Tag Match ~Into The Light~: Yuki Ueno, Sanshiro Takagi & HERO! Vs Toru Owashi, Danshoku Dieno & Masahiro Takanashi
5. Hokuo Presents Special Tag Match ~WE GOTTA NeppWER!!~: Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata Vs Yuko Miyamoto & Isami Kodaka

Brookes also has to miss teaming with Yoshihiko in the wacky sauna sponsored Gauntlet Match. Antonio Honda is filling in for him there.

The winners of Match #4 will be rewarded with 365 bags of bath salts from the match sponsors. Sounds relaxing… I hope?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’22”, 19/03/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Juria Nagano Debut Match: Juria Nagano Vs X
2. Special Single Match: Hikaru Shida Vs Hikari Noa
3. International Princess Title: Maki Itoh (c) Vs Yuki Arai
4. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe
5. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima

Fresh off of the Max Heart Tournament we are left with the two strongest teams in Tokyo Joshi Pro fighting over the Princess Tag Team Titles. On one side are the champions, The Magical Sugar Rabbits. Their pride was bruised after an early elimination from the tournament so they feel the need to defend the belts against the Max Heart winners. That team is Daydream. They made one dream come true, now they have an even bigger one. They want to win the Tag Titles at Sumo Hall!

The growing history shared by Maki Itoh and Yuki Arai reaches another chapter. Arai is cashing in on her supernova rookie year by challenging Itoh for the International Princess Title. It wasn’t long ago that Itoh dared Arai to try and beat her with as many attempts as she wants to use. Arai thinks the time is now to strike and she has earned every strength needed to win against her fellow rival idol.

Hikaru Shida Vs Hikari Noa is definitely happening, no mistranslation here (why yes, I am one to talk). Excluding her recent MAKAI work and the AEW tournament she produced last year (empty arena), this will be Shida’s first pro wrestling match in front of a Japanese audience in over two and a half years.

Yuna Manase, Ram Kaichow and NEO Biishiki-gun will all be on the show. Manase is looking for an opponent to step up and face her in the ring. Nao Kakuta has shown interest in doing so given their history from Actwres girl’Z.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2022 ~DDT 25TH ANNIVERSARY~”, 20/03/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. LiLiCo Retirement Match: LiLiCo, Ryohei Odai & Akito (w/ Junretsu) Vs Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari
2. KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles: Toru Owashi, Antonio Honda, Kazuki Hirata & Yoshihiko (c) Vs Poison Sawada JULIE, Takashi Sasaki, GENTARO, MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba (w/ Naomi Susan)
3. DDT 25th Anniversary Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Michael Nakazawa
4. Special Single Match: Saki Akai Vs Maya Yukihi
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo

So when LiLiCo asked for her retirement match to be filled with handsome men, it only made sense to include her husband in it. Ryohei Odai is a Kamen Rider actor and former member of the pop band Junretsu (which the DDT unit was also named after). He has little athletic experience but his inclusion in the match will be very important for LiLiCo. Speaking of Junretsu, they will be in the married couple’s corner while Akito takes up the last spot on the team.

It was LiLiCo’s decision to make Pheromones her opponents. She has had many unforgettable experiences with Danshoku Dieno so it is fitting for him to be one of her final opponents. Unfortunately for Odai, he got a, um, taste of Pheromones when they crashed the press conference announcing this match. They attacked Odai and Dieno shoved one of the Junretsu member’s face into Yuki Iino’s crotch while Yumehito Imanari filmed it.

DDT “MAX BUMP 2022 TOUR IN KOBE”, 24/04/2022
Kobe Art Center

Has Open The Forbidden Gate been used by DRAGONGATE yet? I’m sure it’s been used by them before. Let’s use it anyway. Genki Horiguchi is the latest name from the promotion coming over for a DDT appearance. The previous ones all worked on DDT shows booked by Toru Owashi in Nagoya but here it is for a show happening in Kobe. It’s slap bang in the middle DG territory but still progress in a seemingly growing relationship between the two companies. It’s another small step towards Kazuki Hirata jumping over and forcing them to play “Tokyo GO!” again.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “POSITIVE CHAIN ’22” Results

February 11, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “POSITIVE CHAIN ’22”, 11/02/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
536 Fans

1. Moka Miyamoto defeated Arisu Endo with the Rashomon (6:02).
2. Hyper Misao, Mahiro Kiryu & Ram Kaichow defeated Asuka, Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami when Misao pinned Toribami with the Hypami Returns (10:36).
3. Yuki Arai defeated Suzume with the Finally (11:14).
4. Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Saint-Michel pinned Harajuku after La Revolution (11:54).
5. Shoko Nakajima, Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Miyu Yamashita, Nao Kakuta & Marika Kobashi when Sakazaki pinned Kobashi with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (14:08).
6. International Princess Title: Maki Itoh (c) defeated Yuki Kamifuku with the Itoh Deluxe (11:37).
*V1 for Maki Itoh.
7. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino when Tatsumi pinned Tenma with the Missile Hips (20:30).

The second ever Max Heart Tournament goes to Daydream! The big final was a rubber match between them and The Bakuretsu Sisters after they had a 1-1 record against each other going back to 2020. Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino hit their big move the Bakuretsu Bulldog to their opponents early but couldn’t win off of it. Rika Tatsumi countered Tenma’s Killswitch into the Twist Of Fate, letting her regroup with Miu Watanabe. Aino was taken care of with the Tear Drop and Tenma was given the Daydream Eternity. Tatsumi then finished her off with the Missile Hips to win the tournament! It wasn’t the fairytale ending for Tenma as her wrestling career reaches its final weeks. But she is sure the battles between The Bakuretsu Sisters and Daydream will live on in the history of Tokyo Joshi Pro.

For Daydream they received their prize for winning the Max Heart Tournament. However they still have an even bigger dream they want to come true. They want to challenge The Magical Sugar Rabbits for the Princess Tag Team Titles at Sumo Hall! The champions came out and accepted the challenge for 19th March. Yuka Sakazaki agreed that Daydream earned the right to have the match. Meanwhile MagiRabi has to make up for getting eliminated in Round 1 so Sakazaki & Mizuki are as determined as ever to keep the championships. They also asked if they could get the Max Heart trophies if they beat Daydream.

The International Princess Title match had an unusual interruption when Maki Itoh had Yuki Kamifuku almost beaten. Itoh had locked in the Itoh Punish when Kamifuku grabbed the rope and then reached over to Mahiro Kiryu. It turned out Kiryu was holding up Kamifuku’s phone and somebody was calling her. Kamifuku answered and told everyone it was her mother. She then passed the phone over to Itoh asking her to join in the call. Itoh reluctantly did and Kamifuku suddenly gave her a School Boy for a nearfall. Itoh regained her composure and put her opponent in the Itoh Deluxe for the victory. Afterwards Kamifuku admitted that Itoh is the cutest in the world and more importantly, her friend who she supports. She still poked her in the eye causing Itoh to start swearing in English.

Once Itoh calmed down she declared she is ready to defend the IP Title as many times as she wants around the world. So whoever wants to fight her next should come out down. Enter Yuki Arai! She politely asked Itoh for a title shot and brought up Itoh being in her debut match last year. At the time Itoh gave Arai the goal to crush her no matter how long it will take. Arai thinks now is the right time to achieve that goal. Itoh accepted the challenge and said the title match will happen at Sumo Hall on 19th March!

The Ryogoku main eventers Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima (with a new haircut) were pitted against each other in a 6-Woman Tag, giving them more chances to figure each other out. Yamashita got the last hit on her challenger with the Skull Kick. Mizuki got rid of Yamashita with the Cutie Special. From there, MagiRabi were too much for Marika Kobashi to handle. Kobashi’s Front Neck Lock was broken and Sakazaki pinned her with the Magical Merry-Go-Round. Nakajima had fun teaming with MagiRabi again but she needs to make sure to avoid that Skull Kick.

The antics of Raku & Pom Harajuku were enough to send Sakisama to sleep. A lullaby from Raku made Sakisama drowsy and eventually she just had to take that nap on the ring apron. Mei Saint-Michel had to bang on the ring bell to wake her up. NEO Biishiki-gun ended up winning and Saint-Michel started complaining about being hungry. She wanted to go eat chanko stew. That reminded Sakisama of the Sumo Hall show next month so she decided NEO Biishiki-gun will be there! Meanwhile Raku & Harajuku blamed their loss today on the referee. Harajuku wants to get revenge on Yukinori Matsui but she doesn’t want to see him again either.

Arai got her confidence to challenge for the IP Title by beating Suzume earlier in the show. Suzume hit a Facebuster and went for the Ring A Bell but Arai hit back with the Full Nelson Buster and the Finally axe kick to win. Arai wants to have many more matches with Suzume because she thinks the two of them make each other improve so much. Suzume is upset to lose in front of her fans. There are many wrestlers she doesn’t want to lose against and now Arai is the one she wants to beat the most.

Today was only the second time Ram Kaichow has been in TJPW but she is already making the place feel like home. Perhaps she is getting a little bit too comfortable because she got Hyper Misao and Mahiro Kiryu to carry her on their shoulders down to the ring. Misao also had extra masks as gifts for her tag partners but they quietly left them on the canvas when she wasn’t paying attention. Misao then tried giving one to Asuka but was rejected again. Kiryu gave Haruna Neko a Sidebuster but she was then wiped out by a mistargeted Asai Moonsault from Asuka. Kaichow gave Asuka the Codebreaker and Misao pinned Kaya Toribami with the Hypami Returns. It was then announced that Kaichow will be back for the Sumo Hall show.

The opening match had classmates Arisu Endo and Moka Miyamoto going against each other. Their previous singles match last July ended in a draw. Miyamoto avoided the Waterwheel Drop and applied the Rashomon submission hold. Endo tried struggling out of it but had to give up in the end. Miyamoto is happy to win but is aware Endo has become stronger.

A former member of TJPW made her presence known at the beginning of the show. Yuna Manase came out and announced she will be at the Sumo Hall show next month! However this is not the old Yuna Manase that TJPW fans will remember. She is the burning hot Yuna Manase of Ganbare☆Pro! It would be easy for her to nominate an opponent right now but she doesn’t want to fight somebody just because she or the company told them to. No, she wants an opponent who wants to fight her under their own initiative. She doesn’t care how old they are or where they come from. They can even come over to Ganbare☆Joshi and challenge her there if they want! Or maybe Manase will bring her friends from Ganjo over instead. Nao Kakuta heard her call and threw her name into the hat to fight Manase at Sumo Hall.

Even though Hikari Noa was missing from today’s show, she still was involved in something newsworthy. She is getting a singles match against Hikaru Shida from AEW at Sumo Hall!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2022 WINTER” Results

January 15, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2022 WINTER”, 15/01/2022
Shinjuku FACE
215 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Moka Miyamoto defeated Kaya Toribami with the Rashomon (5:08).
2. Nao Kakuta defeated Arisu Endo with the Shiden Kai (7:08).
3. 3 Way Match: Hikari Noa defeated Suzume and Haruna Neko when Noa pinned Neko with the Rotating Leg Hold (8:28).
4. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh, Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Tatsumi pinned Harajuku after the Daydream Eternity (12:41).
5. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Yuki Kamifuku & Asuka defeated Marika Kobashi & Raku when Asuka pinned Kobashi with the Liger Bomb (8:50).
6. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki when Nakajima pinned Mizuki with the Northern Lights Suplex (14:53).

A message was sent loud and clear from Shoko Nakajima to the rest of Tokyo Joshi Pro. She will be the next Princess Of Princess Champion and cannot lose to anyone! The proof is in her pinning Mizuki and Kyoraku Kyomei eliminating The Magical Sugar Rabbits in Round 1! Of course, she couldn’t have done this alone. Hyper Misao is there trying to catch up to her partner and promises to beat Daydream in Round 2 because she is so inspired by Nakajima. For MagiRabi this is the second year in a row they crashed out of the Max Heart Tournament in the opening round. Yuka Sakazaki knew they were going up against their toughest opponents and she didn’t let her guard down until the final minute. The reigning Princess Tag Team Champions confirmed afterward they will give the next title shot to the winners of the tournament.

VENYU were together again for the first time since their debut performance last October and it’s safe to say the team can become successful if they keep it up. After beating Marika Kobashi & Raku to advance, Yuki Kamifuku told the fans that Asuka was feeling hungover from the night before. Asuka admitted she didn’t give it her all today but she is determined to win. Even so, Asuka knows they can’t get past the 2nd Round if she wrestles while hungover again. Kamifuku is also scared of going up against 121000000 next and suggested taking a shot of tequila to get rid of her fear.

Idols Yui Okada and Lingling accompanied Miyu Yamashita for her entrance and posed for a group photo with her team before the 8-Women Tag Match. They are two of the hosts from the show “Universe Bible” on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

Ring announcer Sayuri Namba received a letter from NEO Biishiki-gun to read during the opening announcements. The letter said Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel will return to TJPW and participate at the 11th February Korakuen Hall show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’21” Results

November 25, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’21”, 25/11/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
437 Fans

1. Marika Kobashi & Moka Miyamoto defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Kobashi pinned Endo with the Run-Up Bulldog Headlock (10:42).
2. Nao Kakuta, Haruna Neko & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Neko pinned Harajuku with the Nekodebreaker (10:38).
3. Happy Lucky Quiz Rules: Yuki Kamifuku defeated Hyper Misao with a Crucifix Pin (10:08).
4. Shoko Nakajima defeated Nodoka Tenma with the Diving Senton (16:04).
5. Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuki Arai with the Figure 4 Leg Lock (13:54).
6. International Princess Title: Hikari Noa (c) defeated Miu Watanabe with the Blizzard Suplex (11:43).
*V4 for Hikari Noa.
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) defeated Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh when Mizuki pinned Yamashita with the Cutie Special (24:17).
*V1 for The Magical Sugar Rabbits.

The final Korakuen Hall show for the year in Tokyo Joshi Pro saw The Magical Sugar Rabbits retain the Princess Tag Team Titles against 121000000. The battle came down to Mizuki and Miyu Yamashita in the final minutes. Yamashita had Maki Itoh on hand to set up team moves but Yuka Sakazaki was there to get rid of Itoh until she was struck down with the Skull Kick. It was all up to Mizuki from there and she had Yamashita on the ropes after hitting a release Cutie Special. Another Cutie Special this time with the bridge held got Mizuki the win and MagiRabi’s first successful defence in their latest reign.

When the beaten challengers were leaving the ring, Mizuki called for Yamashita to come back. She said she was able to win today with Sakazaki’s help. She also brought up that it’s been a year since she she decided to join TJPW full time. She loves TJPW and wants to carry the company on her back for the sake of everyone who supports her. So although she hates fighting against Yamashita, she wants to challenge her for the Princess Of Princess Title! How could Yamashita refuse? She accepted the challenge and wants the match to happen on the 4th January Korakuen show! Mizuki was warned that the title is not easy to win because Yamashita will never let go of the belt. Sakazaki encouraged Mizuki to commit to the challenge because she is amazing. Later in the night Itoh made a request to Yamashita to put 121000000 on hold for the time being. The team is not splitting up, they are just on a break so Itoh can review her wrestling ability on her own. They will team again when she is ready.

Hikari Noa has broken out of the Up Up Girls hierarchy with her latest International Princess Title defence. She has now beaten both of her Up Up partners as champion and also now has the record for most IP Title defences! Miu Watanabe threw all her best moves including using the Laserbeam to block a Dropkick. Noa had to use the Blizzard Suplex off the top rope to cause the big shift in the match before pinning Watanabe with the regular Blizzard Suplex. One of Watanabe’s favorite idols once said hard work always pays off. The lesson Watanabe learned today is training hard is not the same as working hard. Noa called the match the toughest battle she ever had. The longer she holds onto the belt the more she doesn’t want to let it go. It puts more pressure on her but she isn’t afraid of anything anymore. Which is why she wants TJPW to have a championship that will allow her to have deathmatches! She’s annoyed that Hyper Misao gets to have a Hardcore Match in DDT next month instead of her but she at least appreciates the roster is becoming more open to doing that style.

The rookie Yuki Arai has made it her goal to wrestle against her seniors and do her best against them. That was proven today with her match against Rika Tatsumi. The veteran had the smart gameplan to work over Arai’s leg, forcing the idol to get desperate and risk fighting at a faster pace. But Arai put Tatsumi is danger with a deep Sleeper Hold she wouldn’t let go of until Tatsumi reached the ropes. Targeting the leg then paid off for Tatsumi when she dodged the Finally, took Arai down with a Dragon Screw and made her tap out to the Figure 4 Leg Lock. Tatsumi said by winning through determination she could feel both her own passion and also Arai’s spirit in the ring. She previously talked about being a spark that will cause a big bang and will leave it up to the fans to think if they saw it today. Arai feels a sense of accomplishment despite losing. It was a great experience and one she thinks might change her life. Tatsumi wants to fight her again when she is stronger. She thinks she will still beat her then, of course.

Last week Nodoka Tenma pinned Shoko Nakajima in the 10-Woman Tag match. She wasn’t able to repeat the result here. The closest she came was with a Lift-Up Back Flip but she couldn’t hit the Killswitch when she needed to. Nakajima recovered, hit the Double Arm DDT and won with the Diving Senton.

There was change in roles for Match #3. Yuki Kamifuku hates it whenever Hyper Misao makes new rules for her matches, so she came up with a new match of her own to give her a taste of her own medicine. The Happy Lucky Quiz had Kamifuku and Misao answering trivia questions. The first to get three correct would win. All of the questions were about Kamifuku and her family so the quiz turned out to be heavily rigged in her favour. When Misao started complaining, Kamifuku attacked her and a proper match broke out. Well I say proper but it ended up with both women spraying each other in the face with disinfectant. There was a scramble for pins and Kamifuku got the three count in the end with a Crucifix style cradle.

A rare result happened early in the show. Haruna Neko directly won a match! Maybe she’s finally figuring out how to put it all together. Yuki Aino, Nao Kakuta, Raku and Mahiro Kiryu did their things while Neko fought off Pom Harajuku. Neko rolled her way into hitting the Nekodebreaker to get the three count.

The Run-Up Bulldog Headlock is quickly becoming an effective finisher for Marika Kobashi. She was in trouble going against Suzume & Arisu Endo’s teamwork but Moka Miyamoto stood up to keep the match level. Suzume got rid of Miyamoto with a Facecrusher but Endo could not seal the deal on her own. That was when Kobashi pulled out the Bulldog for the victory.
