7. International Princess Title: Thunder Rosa (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima

The contract for the Princess Tag Team Titles match was signed at the beginning of yesterday’s show. Raku is excited to have a title match and wants to be taken to a world she has never seen before. Maki Itoh is happy to have somebody as pure as Raku teaming with her. She will bring the colour of Itoh out of Raku. Miu Watanabe is still feeling frustrated over losing to Raku recently. The result makes her want to spring into defending the tag titles. Rika Tatsumi started a fight with Itoh which is stronger, Tatsumi’s “diamond hips” or Itoh’s “big head”. Tatsumi is also still bitter over losing a singles match to Itoh last year.

6. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Masato Tanaka (c) Vs Konosuke Takeshita

After being away from the KO-D Openweight Title scene for a while, Konosuke Takeshita is excited to be chosen as the next challenger. He remembers his dad once renting an FMW video tape with Tanaka’s matches on it. Ever since then Takeshita has followed Tanaka’s career. Now his name will be written into the Reiwa era of Tanaka’s wrestling history. Tanaka was honored to hear this but he still thinks he will beat Takeshita. He is from the land of athletes worthy of being athletes because of his background with Gold’s Gym. When the match takes place, Tanaka will make the fans think he is still strong. He named the four wrestlers he thinks are the symbols of DDT: HARASHIMA, Tetsuya Endo, Daisuke Sasaki and Konosuke Takeshita. Tanaka is one win away from having a clean sweep against all of them.

Sasaki briefly stole the DDT UNIVERSAL Title right after Chris Brookes became the first champion. He gave the belt back and apologised for his thievery. He promised to reflect on his actions and will only claim the title belt by winning it as an athlete. Brookes does not believe Sasaki is being honest. He thinks Sasaki is strange like an old dog. His promise is to put Sasaki out of his misery and maybe even stab him. Brookes warned that their match for the UNIVERSAL Title will not be a true representation of his ring skill. It will be a dirty match on both sides.

A lot more is happening on this show. Naomichu Marufuji returns to wrestle for DISASTER BOX, the Business Alliance of DAMNATION & #STRONGHEARTS are pitted against the newest DDT unit Eruption and 19 year old Hideki Okatani has his debut match.

1. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Kouki Iwasaki

Sometimes having a dominant champion can be boring. Kouki Iwasaki thinks that way about Keisuke Ishii and the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title. Iwasaki wants to be the strongest wrestler in Ganpro. Beating Ishii and winning the title will make him just that.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FAN CLUB BOX OFFICE – PURE TOKYO JOSHI PRO WRESTLING 4”, 16/02/2020
Saitama Wrestle Arena
91 Fans

1. Mirai Maiumi defeated Sena Shiori with the Sea Rider (4:24).
2. Rika Tatsumi defeated Haruna Neko with a Small Package (7:27).
3. Nodoka Tenma & Nodoka-oneesan (Yuki Aino) defeated Nodoka-oneesan (Shoko Nakajima) & Nodoka-oneesan (Hyper Misao) when Tenma, Nodoka (Aino) and Nodoka (Nakajima) pinned Nodoka (Misao) (6:20).
4. Valentine Death Match: Pom Harajuku (2) defeated Yuka Sakazaki (1).
4a. Handmade Chocolate Showdown: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Pom Harajuku by Audience Judgement (13:25)
4b. Who Ate The Wasabi Cream Puff: Pom Harajuku defeated Yuka Sakazaki (13:31).
4c. Hot Water Roasted Chocolate, Which One Can Eat More: Pom Harajuku (1) defeated Yuka Sakazaki (0) (13:40).
5. 2 Count Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match: Mizuki & Mahiro Kiryu (2) defeated Miyu Yamashita & Suzume (1) (3:27).
5a. Mizuki pinned Suzume with a Crab Scissors (0:28)
5b. Miyu Yamashita pinned Kiryu with a Middle Kick (3:21).
5c. Mahiro Kiryu pinned Miyu Yamashita after the Foot Stomp from Mizuki (3:27).

The main event was Best 2 out of 3 Falls with only two count pins needed to win each fall. Mizuki quickly won the first fall by countering Suzume’s Crab Hold into a Scissors Cradle. Miyu Yamashita evened the score by pinning Mahiro Kiryu. In the final fall, Mizuki used a Casadora on Yamashita to roll her in position for a Jumping Foot Stomp. Kiryu then leapt on top of Yamashita for the surprise pinfall. Yamashita blamed the loss on her forgetting the 2 count rule. Kiryu was happy to close out the Fan Club show for the second time in a row.

Yuka Sakazaki and Pom Harajuku faced off in a Valentine Death Match. The contest wasn’t dangerous at all for those two. In Round 1 random members of the audience were given two pieces of chocolate made by Sakazaki and Harajuku without being told which one was which. Afterwards they had to choose which one they liked more. After the vote it was revealed that Sakazaki’s chocolate was the winner. The second game was a cream puff eating challenge. Whoever ate the cream puff filled with wasabi would win. However the Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) joined them and Hikari Noa ate the wasabi puff. The game went to sudden death and Harajuku eventually ate another puff filled with wasabi to win. The final round involved the Up Up Girls all attempted to feed Sakazaki and Harajuku a piece of hot chocolate while blindfolded. Sayuri Nanba and the referee were fed the chocolate by accident but Harajuku ended up getting bite too so she ultimately won the Death Match.

Unfortunately Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao and Yuki Aino were all missing from the show. Luckily replacements were found, three Nodoka-oneesans! The one that looked like Aino teamed up with Nodoka Tenma while the two that looked like Nakajima and Misao were paired together. The one that looked like Misao attempted the I Am A Hero but missed and was pinned by the other three. After the match all four women bumped into each other. They tried to do a Miyu Yamashita victory pose in their stunned state but all collapsed instead.

The last time Rika Tatsumi and Haruna Neko faced off at a Fan Club show, Neko had two other tag partners for a Handicap Match. Tatsumi was confident she would win today and gave Neko a less than 1% chance of beating her. Neko got some help from the Up Up Girls but it backfired when she got a bat and hit all of her allies by accident. Tatsumi cradled Neko for the win.

The Sea Rider used by Mirai Maiumi is a Modified Camel Clutch with one knee pressed against the victim’s back.

Himawari Unagi and the trainee Aona held a quick Rock Paper Scissors tournament for the fan club members during intermission.

The big change is with the KO-D Tag Team Titles match. The match was going to be cancelled until Danshoku Dieno got Super Sasadango Machine to team with him because he is “big and fit” like his last tag partner. Dieno said despite the twists and turns this week, his ambition has not changed. He still intends to win as many DDT championships as he can.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STAND PROUD”, 01/03/2020

1. Miyu Yamashita Vs Natsumi Maki
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Maki Itoh & Raku
3. International Princess Title: Thunder Rosa (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima

Raku now has a win under her belt and she got it at Miu Watanabe’s expense. With Maki Itoh’s guidance she also wants the Princess Tag Team Titles too. Itoh agreed to team with her because she wants to see if her hard head is tougher than Rika Tatsumi’s ass.

Miyu Yamashita and Natsumi Maki continue their series of singles matches. Yamashita was happy with Maki’s performance in their previous match. Now she will see if Maki has gotten even better in the third match.

Yuka Sakazaki will not be at the show. The popular guess online as to why is she may be on the next AEW PPV happening in Chicago the same weekend.

The revival of NωA attracted the attention of Kazuki Hirata. They used to feud with Hirata and the rest of T2Hide. They are not around anymore so Hirata is sending FUMA and Nautilus after them.

The last BOYZ show ended with Makoto Oishi stuck in the middle of a new idol rivalry. Both Homoiro Clover Z and NωA have come back. Oishi is a vital member of both groups and can’t decide who to choose. The answer is to have the two groups fight over him. But in a twist he will have to be in the fight too! He is going into this match on his own, representing the combined entity that is HomoωA.

6. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) defeated Lana Austin with the Magical Magical Girl Splash (10:48).
*V2 for Yuka Sakazaki.

The series between Yuka Sakazaki and Lana Austin ends with Sakazaki still holding the Princess Of Princess Title. Sakazaki has gotten to know Austin so much after their matches together and hopes they will interact again in the future. Now that she has successfully defended her title twice, Sakazaki’s love for the belt has grown deeper. Her next goal as champion is to defend the title in Tampa at the Tokyo Joshi Pro USA show this April. She wants to fight the best wrestlers no matter where they come from. Doesn’t matter if they are Japanese, American, British or even aliens from outer space.

Raku wins a match for the first time ever thanks to some new moves added to her repertoire. She used a Sling Blade on Miu Watanabe then pinned her with a Jumping Swinging Neckbreaker called the Doctor Yellow. Maki Itoh congratulated her but said if Raku wants to be like her then she should not be satisfied with just one win. Raku agreed and challenged Daydream to a Princess Tag Team Titles match! Rika Tatsumi accepted but needed to know who Raku would team with. Itoh said she would do it so everyone will find out what is stronger, her head or Tatsumi’s ass. Tatsumi was insulted and said her ass is a diamond. Raku thanked the fans for supporting her so far. They are her treasure and she wouldn’t be standing here without them. Itoh informed Raku that a special training regime for the match begins tomorrow.

The lesson Mina Shirakawa learned from her match against Miyu Yamashita was that wrestlers who focus on a particular move can be really strong, like Yamashita and her Spin Kicks for example. When they first met 5 years ago, Shirakawa was only at the show to perform a musical number as part of P-Samba. Now they’re having matches together and travelling around the world to wrestle.

Nodoka Tenma brought a giant chocolate bar to the ring as a gift for Hyper Misao because it was their first time teaming together. Also it is nearly Valentine’s Day. Misao reacted badly because Valentine’s Day gave her trauma. When Misao was 15 there was a boy she liked named Yamamoto. On Valentine’s Day she saw a cute girl confess her love to Yamamoto inside an empty classroom and the bitter memory has stuck with her ever since. Yuna Manase would happily take the chocolate if Misao couldn’t take it. Mahiro Kiryu then had an idea. The best way for Misao to get over her Valentine’s trauma is to feed her the chocolate! Tenma fed her a piece and Misao became revitalised. The plan worked too well because Misao then shouted “Happy Valentine!” after every move until she pinned Kiryu with the Hipami Returns.

Tokyo Joshi will put together a free show for women only in Itabashi Green Hall on 26th April.

1. Shoko Nakajima, Nodoka Tenma & Haruna Neko defeated Mizuki, Suzume & Sena Shiori when Nakajima pinned Suzume with the Northern Lights Suplex (10:16).
2. Yuna Manase & Mirai Maiumi defeated Hyper Misao & Pom Harajuku when Manase pinned Harajuku with the Suzuki Dynamic (7:42).

4. Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa defeated Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu when Shirakawa pinned Kiryu with the Implant DDT (10:36).
5. Saki Akai defeated Hikari Noa with a Triangle Choke (9:09).
6. Miyu Yamashita defeated Natsumi Maki with the Backward Kick (9:24).
7. Yuka Sakazaki & Maki Itoh defeated Lana Austin & Yuki Aino when Sakazaki pinned Aino with the Magical Girl Splash (9:51).

Losing a tooth in Alabama is not getting Yuka Sakazaki down. She’s still winning matches and letting Lana Austin know what she is getting into when the Princess Of Princess Title match takes place next Tuesday. Austin has a few tricks of her own though. She caught the opposing team off guard when she used Maki Itoh as a launching step to hit Sakazaki with the Poetry In Motion. Yuki Aino tried to capitalize but Sakazaki took over and got the victory.

In the rematch between Miyu Yamashita and Natsumi Maki, Yamashita wasted no time in testing her opponent. Maki was more motivated today and put up a better fight. But Yamashita came out the winner again, this time using the Backward Kick for the pin. After today’s match Yamashita is now satisfied and thinks she fought the proper version of Natsumi Maki. The match was so much fun this time around that Yamashita wants another rematch, this time in Tokyo. Maki likes the idea. She still wants to beat Yamashita using her own one of a kind techniques.

Saki Akai praised Hikari Noa for putting up a good fight against her. Noa had Akai grounded with the Cobra Twist but Akai countered it into a Triangle Choke to get the win.

Raku wasn’t able to get her first win today. She was left feeling a little frustrated after losing to Miu Watanabe.

Rumours went around that an agent for a nearby fashion show was in the audience. Yuna Manase, Mirai Maiumi, Hyper Misao and Pom Harajuku all made poses during their match in the hopes of getting noticed. Even the referee was tempted to strut across the ring. It turned out to be a trap for Misao & Harajuku to ambush Manase & Maiumi but it didn’t work out in the end.

In the opening match Shoko Nakajima, Nodoka Tenma & Haruna Neko were put on the same team because they are all under 150cm in height.

Raku begins her quest to win a match. Miu Watanabe won’t go light on her just because they are both Up Up Girls.

A bunch of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster had cameos on the latest episode of the CBS cop drama S.W.A.T. I’m not making this up. Miyu Yamashita fights a detective inside Robot Restaurant while Shoko Nakajima tries to pull a gun on the guy from Better Off Ted. I swear I’m not making this up!

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Masato Tanaka (c) Vs MAO

MAO said he is honored to be competing for the KO-D Openweight Title less than 5 years into his pro wrestling career. Masato Tanaka has been wrestling since before MAO was born. MAO saw him for the first time on TV Asahi’s “World Pro Wrestling” television program back in 2010. He thinks Tanaka is one of the people who made him dream of becoming a pro wrestler so this will be a very special match. Also MAO believes the core of DDT is now made up of the DNA generation with Konosuke Takeshita and Tetsuya Endo right in the centre. Winning the KO-D Title will make MAO join the centre. Tanaka wants MAO to deliver his strange brand of wrestling because he does not want to lose against that style.

The #STRONGHEARTS return to continue their business partnership with DAMNATION. They face ALL OUT with their honorary member Chihiro Hashimoto in an Elimination Tag match. Hopefully Yuki Iino has gotten over his problems with Hashimoto. Also Shunma Katsumata is back from his minor surgery. Elsewhere CIMA teams up with Soma Takao, who used to wrestle as BIMA in his college club days.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2020 WINTER ~WONDERFUL HARMONY~” Results

February 1, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2020 WINTER ~WONDERFUL HARMONY~”, 01/02/2020
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
250 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko defeated Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori when Kiryu pinned Shiori with the Spinebuster (6:38).
2. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuki Kamifuku and Suzume when Tatsumi pinned Suzume with the Twist Of Fate (9:16).
3. Natsumi Maki defeated Pom Harajuku with the Backlash (7:23).
4. Maki Itoh defeated Raku with the Itoh Deluxe (9:07).
5. Miyu Yamashita & Yuna Manase defeated Miu Watanabe & Mirai Maiumi when Yamashita pinned Maiumi with a Backward Kick (7:59).
6. Goodbye Akemi ~ Setsubun Death Mask Of ONI Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Akemi Daredasore with the Northern Lights Suplex (8:30).
7. Lana Austin, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Mina Shirakawa when Austin pinned Shirakawa with the Hangman DDT (13:59).

The Tokyo Joshi Pro debut of Lana Austin is off to a good start. She pinned Mina Shirakawa in the main event after a Headbutt followed by the Hangman DDT off the ropes. After the match Yuka Sakazaki called Austin into the ring and asked if she wants the Princess Of Princess Title. She pulled the belt away from Austin, asked for a handshake then tried to bite Austin’s hand as a prank.

For Akemi Daredasore’s final match under her current gimmick, she came up with a stipulation that would also get rid of any evil spirits that might have possessed herself and Shoko Nakajima. Why else would Nakajima have given her such a bad ring name to use over the last 30 days? This way Daredasore will return to being Hyper Misao with a completely refreshed spirit. The Setsubun Death Mask Of ONI Match could only be won if a wrestler wore an Oni mask while pinning or submitting their opponent. Also setsubun beans were allowed to be used as weapons. Daredasore chased Nakajima out of the room by throwing the beans at her, then locked the door to trap “the demon” outside. Nakajima was able to get back into the ring, withstand more of Daredasore’s cheating and win the match.

Maki Itoh has figured out why Raku can never win her matches. She has no purpose as a pro wrestler. Itoh has a purpose because when she wins matches, she inspires the fans to go back to their jobs and work even harder even if they hate their jobs so much that they want to die. She asked Raku what her purpose is? Raku said she wants to be like Itoh. She loses so much that she wants to win. Itoh’s advice to Raku is to stop simply wanting to win and start actually winning.

Thunder Rosa will return to Tokyo Joshi in March. Her current dates are the 1st and 8th of March. No word yet on if she will defend the International Princess Title but a challenger will certainly pop up.
