4. Captain’s Fall 2 Count Match: Mizuki, Himawari Unagi & Mahiro Kiryu (C) defeated Miyu Yamashita, Rika Tatsumi & Pom Harajuku (C) (13:50).
4a. Miyu Yamashita eliminated Himawari Unagi with the Cobra Clutch (6:20).
4b. Mizuki eliminated Miyu Yamashita with a Casadora (8:09).
4c. Rika Tatsumi eliminated Mizuki with a Backwards Cradle (10:51).
4d. Mahiro Kiryu defeated Pom Harajuku with the Oklahoma Roll (13:50).

The main event was a Mystery Captain’s Fall tag match with 2 count pins needed to win. The two captains were privately chosen backstage and would not be revealed until they were eliminated from the match. That led to the wrestlers trying to figure out who the opposing captain was while they fought each other. Rika Tatsumi suffered an embarrassing moment when she approached Mizuki to shake hands but was ignored. Miyu Yamashita submitted Himawari Unagi but she was not the captain so the match continued. When Yamashita went on offence against Mizuki, Tatsumi pleaded with her to stop. That distraction allowed Mizuki to pin Yamashita with a Casadora. Tatsumi tried to wrestle Mizuki but couldn’t bring herself to do it. She was even overcome with joy when Mizuki put her in a Sleeper Hold. Pom Harajuku pushed the sleeping Tatsumi on top of Mizuki for an unexpected 2 count elimination. An upset Mizuki said she hates Tatsumi after that. Mahiro Kiryu was the last one left on her team which meant she was the captain. Tatsumi missed the Missile Hips and struck Harajuku by mistake. Kiryu capitalized and pinned Harajuku with the Oklahoma Rool. It was revealed that Harajuku was the other captain so Kiryu’s team wins! Mizuki reconciled with Tatsumi after the match.

Yuka Sakazaki and Hikari Noa were challenged to a series of games. First was a bug catching contest. They were told that 5 cicadas, 10 stag beetles, 15 rhinoceros beetles and 20 butterflies were hidden around the venue. Noa found four cicada shells and a dung beetle which earned her 7 points. Sakazaki caught two proper cicadas which was enough to win with 10 points.

The 2nd game was a drawing contest. The rules here was both girls had to wrestle a brief match and their allotted drawing time depended on how many seconds they pinned their opponent for. Noa pinned Sakazaki for four seconds so she was given 40 seconds to draw her picture. Sakazaki pinned Noa for 7 seconds so she got 70 seconds drawing time. The subject they had to draw was Sanshiro Takagi. Despite having a shorter time limit, Noa’s drawing won the fan vote and she received 30 points.

The final and deciding game was a Human Watermelon Split Match. Sayuri Nanba wore a paper balloon over their head and sat down in the ring. Sakazaki and Noa were blindfolded and their goal was to hit the balloon with their bat. Whoever hit it first got 10,000 points. However Nanba had Tetsuya Koda and the new trainee Shiori sitting down beside her to act as a misdirection. Both Sakazaki and Noa were tricked by the audience into hitting Koda over and over until the time ran out. The game was a draw but since Noa had the most overall points from the three games she was declared the winner. When the blindfolds were taken off Sakazaki couldn’t resist hitting the balloon over Nanba’s head.

For the third time The Bakuretsu Sisters overate before a fan club show and became too ill to wrestle. They were replaced by the Mexcian lucadoras Mil Nodocaras & Yuki Caras who were in the country for some sightseeing. They were in for a fight because “Iron Man” played and the Up Up Warriors rushed down to the ring! The Nodocaras Sisters used their Japanese souvenirs to successfully fight off Warrior Miu & Warrior Raku.

YUMI had the size advantage to throw Shoko Nakajima around the ring but the gap in experience prevented her from winning. Nakajima countered the Full Nelson Buster into a European Clutch for the victory.

Izumi was given a short exhibition bout with Mirai Maiumi just to give her some ring time. She will reveal her official ring name and wrestling costume at an event in Akihabara tomorrow.

Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
260 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Fame Asser (6:00).
2. Yuki Aino & YUMI defeated Rika Tatsumi & Hikari Noa when Aino pinned Noa with a Reverse DDT (11:02).
3. Miu Watanabe defeated Unagi Himawari with the Tear Drop (7:42).
4. Natsumi Maki defeated Raku with the Backlash (7:30).
5. Yuka Sakazaki defeated Pom Harajuku with the Magical Girl Splash (7:46).
6. Sakisama & Misao defeated Miyu Yamashita & Mirai Maiumi when Sakisama pinned Maiumi with the Academy Award (11:36).
7. Shoko Nakajima, Nodoka Tenma & Maki Itoh defeated Mizuki, Yuna Manase & Mina Shirakawa when Nakajima pinned Shirakawa with the Diving Senton (15:27).

Mizuki’s team thought they had the upper hand when Yuna Manase tossed Mizuki from the apron onto a bunch of the wrestlers outside the ring. However when the action whittled down to Shoko Nakajima and Mina Shirakawa, Nakajima got the win. Mizuki said the match was only a prelude and she had to focus on two future opponents. Maki Itoh said there is nothing wrong with her desire to beat Mizuki even if Mizuki gets distracted. She wants to be in the leading role so in two week’s time at Korakuen Hall Mizuki better be ready for her. Nakajima admitted Mizuki is getting stronger but not as strong as her. When they face off in Osaka next month Nakajima says she will crush Mizuki!

Misao did enough damage to Miyu Yamashita with her Jumping Knee Strike that Miu Watanabe tended to Yamashita after the match. Sakisama told Yamashita that she is at her limit. No matter what she will do, the result will always be the same. Yamashita said she decides when she is at her limit. Misao then pointed out that she won the match so it is unthinkable that Yamashita should be feeling this confident about her abilities. Sakisama calmed Misao down and said only the strong have the right to speak so she doesn’t have to listen to Yamashita.

Raku refused to shake Natsumi Maki’s hand after their match.

Yuki Aino got one over on Hikari Noa as they prepare for their Korakuen singles match. She countered Noa’s Uranage into a Reverse DDT for the victory. Noa said she has not time to be upset and aims to win at Korakuen. Aino believes there is not much of a gap between her and Noa even though she is the senior wrestler. By winning the match with YUMI this proves to her that the seniority pecking order is not that definitive.

The opening match was between two women who both went to Toyo University. Mahiro Kiryu went to the Itakura Campus while Yuki Kamifuku went to the Hakusan Campus. They argued over which campus was better while they wrestled. Kamifuku yelled “Goodbye Itakura Campus!” when she hit the match ending Fame Asser for the win.

Things are a little awkward in the Iron Family now that FUMA has sided with Dove Pro for the summer series against BASARA.

A few of the unit members have put together a match between themselves in order to get FUMA & Kubo on the same page again.

DDT “SUMMER VACATION MEMORIES 2019”, 25/08/2019
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

8. DDT Extreme Title: Jiro Kuroshio (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki

Daisuke Sasaki was so drunk by the end of Beer Garden week that he has no memory of how he got a DDT Extreme Title match with Jiro Kuroshio. He remembers eating watermelon and also Kuroshio’s wonderful hair but that’s it. Kuroshio says this is a match that nobody should laugh at. In fact Kuroshio Vs Sasaki is a match he thinks fans want to see. He also didn’t know that he gets to make the stipulation. So he hasn’t thought of one yet but promises it will be something serious.

So Konosuke Takeshita’s summer challenge before Shinya Aoki is an 8-Man Tag with Santino Marella involved. Didn’t see that coming.

DDT “OSAKA OCTOPUS 2019”, 01/09/2019
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. DD Army Vs ALL OUT!: Danshoku Dieno & Maku Donaruto Vs Akito & Shunma Katsumata
2. O-40 Title: Sanshiro Takagi (c) Vs Ken Ohka
3. DAMNATION Vs DISASTER BOX!: Shuji Ishikawa & Tetsuya Endo Vs Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura
4. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao (c) Vs Jiro Kuroshio & Kazusada Higuchi
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

Kuroshio is acting like he is Kazusada Higuchi’s little brother so they can challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Higuchi is happy to go along with it and promises to win the belt for their family. They’re not related by blood but if they win then it is proof that they are real brothers. If they do become the champions Kuroshio wants to defend the belts against The Brahman Brothers. In response to this, Sasaki is making fun of the situation by saying he is Higuchi’s dad. Higuchi points out that Sasaki is only three years older than him. Sasaki fired back by saying he was only three years old when he was with Higuchi’s mother. Sasaki was still drunk when he said this but how much of that is an excuse, I don’t know. Kuroshio made the argument even more confusing by saying his and Kazusada’s father is a 56 year old man named Jiro Higuchi.

Yay, Shuji Ishikawa is back again!

Who’s idea was it to team up Danshoku Dieno & Maku Donaruto!?!

1. Sakisama & Misao defeated Himawari Unagi & Pom Harajuku when Sakisama submitted Harajuku with the YSL (7:43).
2. Yuna Manase & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Makoto Kiryu & Mirai Maiumi when Kamifuku pinned Kiryu with the Fame Asser (8:51).

3a. Rematch: Rika Tatsumi defeated Demonio Uno with the Missile Hips (11:00).
4. Summer Vacation Special Plan, I’m Excited About Summer Tokyo Joshi Festival 2019 “Chu! Natsu Party Death Match”: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Nodoka Tenma & Mina Shirakawa when Sakazaki pinned Shirakawa with the Magical Magical Girl Splash With Fireworks into the Pool (12:49).
5. Maki Itoh & Hikari Noa defeated Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino when Noa pinned Aino with the Uranage (12:55).
6. Miyu Yamashita defeated Miu Watanabe with the Attitude Adjustment (11:38).

Miyu Yamashita praised Miu Watanabe for getting stronger since the last time they fought each other. Watanabe took the words to heart and said in her mind today was not a defeat. She asked Yamashita to support her when they challenge for the Princess Tag Team Titles on 25th August.

The team of Maki Itoh & Hikari Noa struggled to get along at first. That is because Noa regularly teams with Itoh’s enemy Natsumi Maki. They seemed to gel as the match went on and eventually became the winners. But Itoh still flipped off Noa when she went to shake her hand.

The ring canvas was covered in blue sheets for the Natsu Party Death Match. Any summer related item was permitted to be used as a weapon including flotation rings, squirt guns, water balloons and watermelons. There was also a small kids pool filled with water placed inside the ring Mina Shirakawa introduced herself to the audience as “The Happy H Cup Who Will Give A Power Bomb To Your Heart.” Everyone threw water at each other and got soaked. Mizuki found fireworks and shot them at Nodoka Tenma while Yuka Sakazaki ran around with sparklers. Sakazaki sent Shirakawa into the pool then Double Stomped the watermelon on top of her. Sakazaki then hit the Magical Magical Girl Splash while fireworks shot up behind her to get the win. Shirakawa called the match her version of the G1, the Glamorous 1. Sakazaki said she wanted to use more fireworks but the venue became too damp.

Rika Tatsumi’s battle with Demonio Uno quickly ended in a Double Countout when the two fought their way out of the venue. They agreed to an immediate rematch but continued to brawl outside the ring. Back in the ring the referee got knocked down and Uno brought in a chair. Antonio Honda came to the rescue and gave Uno the Bionic Elbow. He then revived the referee while Tatsumi pinned her opponent with the Missile Hip Attack.

Honda was there to support Tatsumi because earlier in the show he was revealed to be Tatsumi & Sakazaki’s partner for the match against NEO Biishiki-gun on 1st Setpember! Honda told everyone that he previously knows the two girls from the time they were part of a music group together. He was the one who encouraged the two of them to take up pro wrestling!

Raku was the only member of the Up Up Girls not wrestling today so she held a solo concert called the Tsurumi Idol Festival during intermission.

DDT’s visit to the Tokyo Idol Festival began with the Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) performing on the SMILE GARDEN Stage. They wanted to continue singing but Danshoku Dieno came out and told them it was time to start the Battle Royal. The competitors made their entrances with the Idol Army being led by Sanshiro Takagi. They were also armed with toy hammers.

The match began and the ten minute time limit counted down. Makoto Oishi grabbed the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title and hit Yukio Sakaguchi over the head with it. Oishi pinned Sakaguchi and became the new champion.

He fled from the stage and made his way over to the seating area. The idols caught up with him and Rise Shiokawa from Transfer Girls* hit him with her hammer. She applied a Reverse Palo Special while Dieno performed the Danshoku Nightmare 3D into Oishi’s face. Oishi gave up and Shiokawa was the new champion.

Dieno quickly put Shiokawa in an Iron Claw and won the belt when she submitted.

Sakaguchi reappeared and gave Dieno a Penalty Kick. Sakaguchi was chased away but Dieno was left sitting on the ground. Aika Sawaguchi from dela came over and hit a Low Kick to Dieno’s back. That was enough to get the pin and win her the title.

Sawaguchi’s reign didn’t last long. Maki Itoh put her in a Sleeper Hold to become the new champion.

The Up Up Girls caught up with Itoh and the Idol Army followed. Takagi instructed Natsume Misaki from chuLa to give Itoh a Running Elbow smash. That did the trick and the belt moved over to Misaki.

Again an idol title reign only lasted a few seconds. Dieno came back and used another Iron Claw to regain the championship.

Dieno quickly lost the belt when Oishi tricked him into taking a selfie together. Oishi used his chance to pin Dieno with a School Boy.

Despite the betrayal Dieno and Oishi were still on good terms. They brought out a ladder and Dieno agreed to climb it and go into the Hell Gate position. Sakaguchi stopped Oishi from pushing Shiokawa into the Hell Gate. However the Idol Army knocked down Sakaguchi and joined together with the Up Up Girls to do one large Good Night Express. Even Yukio Naya got to be involved in it!

Some of the idols pushed Sakaguchi face first into the Hell Gate, this time with the back of Dieno’s tights pulled down. Oishi tried to do the same to Itoh but she stopped herself by catching her fingers in Dieno’s ass! She stuck her fingers under Oishi’s nose to dizzy him. Takagi told Momomi Wagatsuma from Hakoiri♡Musume to hit Oishi with an Axe Bomber. She then made Oishi tap out to a Crab Hold one second before the time expired! Wagatsuma was declared the winner of the Battle Royal and the new Iron Man Champion!

Everyone got together after the match to pose for a group photo.

That wasn’t the end of it though. An interview backstage with Takagi and the Idol Army was interrupted when Itoh attacked Wagatsuma! She put her in a Sleeper Hold and made her give up to win the belt.

Itoh’s celebration was short lived because Sakaguchi then came in and choked her out with his own Sleeper Hold. The day ended as it began, with Yukio Sakaguchi as the Iron Man Champion.

One more thing, Takagi encouraged the Idol Army to become pro wrestlers. He asked them if they’ve seen any wrestling shows before. Sawaguchi said she likes Dragon Gate. Never mind then!

2. Yuka Sakazaki defeated Mahiro Kiryuwith an Omoplata (8:17).

4. Sakisama & Misao defeated Miu Watanabe Vs Raku when Sakisama submitted Raku with the Versailles Foot Choke (11:08).
5. Maki Itoh & Mizuki defeated Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino when Mizuki submitted Aino with a Face Lock (10:31).
6. International Princess Title Japanese Representative Decision 4 Way Match: Natsumi Maki defeated Rika Tatsumi, Yuna Manase and Yuki Kamifuku (13:36).
6a. Natsumi Maki eliminated Yuna Manase with a Cradle (6:40).
6b. Yuki Kamifuku eliminated Rika Tatsumi with a Crucifix Pin (11:49).
6c. Natsumi Maki eliminated Yuki Kamifuku with the Backlash (13:36).

The opportunity to compete for a brand new championship means a lot to Natsumi Maki. So much so that in today’s main event she wore the wrestling gear Kairi Sane gave to her before she went to WWE! The 4 Way Match was held under elimination rules. Yuna Manase was the first to go. She attempted the Suzuki Dynamic but Maki countered it into a Rolling Cradle and Rika Tatsumi assisted with giving Manase a Facecrusher on the way down. Tatsumi was next when Yuki Kamifuku countered the Dragon Twist Of Fate into a Crucifix Pin for the upset. Maki was able to win the match entirely when she pinned Kamifuku with the Backlash. Maki said she’s only been in Tokyo Joshi Pro for half a year but there is a new wind approaching in the form of the International Princess Title. She will be a part of the new wind!

The Itoh Respect Army won today but Maki Itoh dropped a bombshell after the match. They’re splitting up! Itoh announced this to everyone but didn’t tell Mizuki about it until then so she was as surprised as everyone else. Itoh explained that they haven’t been a regular team lately so the unit should no longer exist. Also Mizuki is currently on the road to success from winning the Tokyo Princess Cup while Itoh got eliminated in the 2nd Round so that means they should be rivals. Itoh challenged Mizuki to a match at Korakuen Hall on 25th August. The two shook hands until Itoh gave Mizuki both middle fingers.

Miu Watanabe is getting stronger but she isn’t getting the wins to back her up. How strong? Strong enough to Body Slam Sakisama & Misao at the same time! However Misao put Watanabe in the Ribera Me while Sakisama submitted Raku with the Versailles Foot Choke. Watanabe called out to NEO Biishiki-gun after the match telling them that their actions are not beautiful. Misao called her a weed but Watanabe said no matter what happens to weeds they stand up again and again. She challenged them to a Princess Tag Team Titles match to prove it. Miyu Yamashita came out and told Watanabe she will be her partner. Sakisama said it is her right to choose her challengers and it is not them. They were about to leave when Yamashita asked if Sakisama was scared? Sakisama denied being scared and accepted the challenge.

The opening show announcements were interrupted when Shota came down and handed Sayuri Namba a rose with a message attached to it. The message was a receipt for NEO Biishiki-gun’s new photobook coming out this summer. Azusa Takigawa entered the ring and told Namba she has no memory of working on a photobook even though Azusa Christie appears on the cover. Tetsuya Koda ordered Takigawa to sell the photobooks anyway.

“The Gatekeeper From Hell” Demonio Uno, an old gimmick from IWA Japan, will be on the 4th August show held at a Tsurumi market. That is a very obscure gimmick to bring back.

1. Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku defeated Himawari Unagi & Makoto Kiryu when Aino pinned Kiryu with the Side Suplex (9:24).
2. Yuna Manase, Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa defeated Natsumi Maki, Hikari Noa & Mirai Maiumi when Manase pinned Maiumi with the Suzuki Dynamic (9:08).

4. Reika Saiki & Rika Tatsumi defeated Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh when Saiki pinned Itoh with the Jackhammer (14:38).
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Miu Watanabe with the Osaekomi Backslide (12:53).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Mizuki defeated Shoko Nakajima with the Diving Foot Stomp (14:32).

The Magical Sugar Rabbits join Natsumi Maki and Yuna Manase in the Tokyo Princess Cup final four. Mizuki won against Shoko Nakajima when she blocked the Diving Senton with her knees. Mizuki then countered the Unmanned Local Train Hold into the Cutie Special for a nearfall and got the pin with the Diving Foot Stomp.

Yuka Sakazaki had a tough time trying to beat Miu Watanabe and almost became the next big upset in the tournament. She got put in the Giant Swing, the Canadian Backbreaker and even took the Tear Drop. Luckily for Sakazaki she landed near the ropes and had enough time to kickout of the pin after she was pulled away. Watanabe went for the Laserbeam strike but Sakazauki dodged it and pinned Watanabe with the Osaekomi Backslide.

The semi-final lottery was held to determine the matches. Mizuki drew Maki and Sakazaki gets Manase. The semi-finals and final take place on 7th July.

Reika Saiki wrestled her last match as a regular for Tokyo Joshi Pro, even scoring the pinfall. Saiki said she feels indebted to Tokyo Joshi for the three years she spent with them. During the match she & Rika Tatsumi did stereo Figure 4 Leg Locks together, Keiji Muto style. Saiki said that although she began in WRESTLE-1 and will always be a part of that company, she grew up here and will continue to work hard in the joshi world. She will get the chance to wrestle in Toyko Joshi again someday.

Yuki Aino took the bullet for her sister Nodoka Tenma during Match #4. Sakisama went to give Tenma a Running PK from the apron but Aino put herself in front of Tenma to keep her out of harm’s way. Tenma was then able to hit a Cross Body on Sakisama from the apron. That didn’t help Raku though since she submitted to Misao moments later. Misao insulted Tenma after the match prompting Aino to defend her again. She said Tenma always protected her because she is strong. Together they are strong too and they can prove it by winning the Tokyo Princess Tag Team Titles! The challenge was accepted but Sakisama told Aino that she can’t do anything without her sister. She pointed her rose towards Aino but Tenma suddenly grabbed the rose and ate it!

Maki Itoh wants to form a tag team with Miyu Yamashita and compete for the Princess Tag Titles. She also confirms that Chris Brookes is now a member of the Itoh Respect Army.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 01/06/2019
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
258 Fans – No Vacancy

1. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Pom Harajuku and Mahiro Kiryu when Tatsumi pinned Harajuku with a Sunset Flip (7:16).
2. Sakisama & Misao defeated Nodoka Tenma & Himawari Unagi when Misao pinned Unagi with the Vanitas (11:07).
3. Shoko Nakajima, Yuka Sakazaki & Miu Watanabe defeated Natsumi Maki, Hikari Noa & Mirai Maiumi when Nakajima submitted Maiumi with the Unmanned Local Train Hold (12:25).
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Maki Itoh defeated Raku with the Itoh Special (6:16).
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Yuna Manase defeated Yuki Aino with the Suzuki Dynamic (6:06).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Mina Shirakawa with the Magical Girl Splash (9:36).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Mizuki defeated Miyu Yamashita with the Cutie Special (11:10).

The Tokyo Princess Cup has always been Miyu Yamashita’s weak point and this year was no different. Sometimes it was shock upsets against weaker opponents and other times it’s been first round eliminations caused by wrestlers just as strong as her. Today was the latter. Mizuki outwrestled Yamashita by putting her in a Facelock. Yamashita rolled out of it but Mizuki caught her in a Casadora and followed with a Double Stomp. From there Mizuki hit the Cutie Special to get the win. Mizuki was in tears while she gave her victory speech and admitted she didn’t even think she would be talking on the microphone after the main event today. She respects Yamashita for all the times she watched her headline a Korakuen Hall show. Today’s win now gives Mizuki enough confidence to believe that she will win this year’s Princess Cup!

A disappointed Mina Shirakawa after her match said over and over that she wanted to fly today just like Yuka Sakazaki. Shirakawa attacked Sakazaki before the match began in a move she admits is inspired by Hayabusa’s ambush on Jushin Liger from the Super J Cup. Although she lost the match, Shirakawa wants to get strong enough so she can wrestle abroad like Sakazaki just did.

Yuna Manase is still feeling motivated after her “Pochari Joshi” match in Ganbare☆Wrestling back in April. She wants to win for the fans that cheered for her back then and also to prove she belongs in Tokyo Joshi Pro. With this she was able to stay in her match after taking Yuki Aino’s Side Suplex and won with the Suzuki Dynamic.

That Raku is a sneaky one, I tell you. When her match with Maki Itoh was about to begin, Raku was crying with nerves while she shook Itoh’s hand and telling herself to pull things together. Then when Itoh was returning to her corner, Raku jumped her with a flying kick! Itoh stopped her with a DDT and the Itoh Special to go through. Raku explained that the lyrics to Itoh’s music was what moved her to tears and the audience’s cheers grew her desire to win.

The Tokyo Princess Cup 2nd Round matches are Natsumi Maki Vs Maki Itoh, Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuna Manase, Shoko Nakajima Vs Mizuki and Miu Watanabe Vs Yuka Sakazaki.

NEO Biishiki-gun were put off by how excitable Himawari Unagi was by their moves in the ring. But never mind about her, it’s Mizuki that they’re interested in. Misao said that when she and Sakisama return to Shin-Kiba 1st RING next week they will win the Tokyo Princess Tag Team Titles.

Rika Tatsumi expected Pom Harajuku and Mahiro Kiryu to team up against her so she asked for the 3 Way Match to be turned into a Handicap Match. However Harajuku and Kiryu assured her that they wanted the ordinary 3 Way Match as planned. Harajuku hit the Laforet Harajuku to Kiryu but Tatsumi then cradled her to steal the pin.


Tokyo Princess Cup 1st Round Matches

May 18, 2019

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP OPENING ROUND”, 25/05/2019
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. Yuna Manase, Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Raku, Mina Shirakawa & Mirai Maiumi
2. Miyu Yamashita & Reika Saiki Vs Marika Kobashi & Yuki Aino
3. Sakisama & Misao Vs Mizuki & YUMI
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1D: Rika Tatsumi Vs Himawari Unagi
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1C: Nodoka Tenma Vs Miu Watanabe
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1B: Natsumi Maki Vs Hikari Noa
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1A: Shoko Nakajima Vs Yuki Kamifuku

Shoko Nakajima has a lot she wants to do as the current TOKYO Princess Champion. She already had a successful title defence. Next is winning the Tokyo Princess Cup, a tournament she has had plenty of experience with. She wants to win it as the champion so she can choose her next challenger for Osaka in September. Yuki Kamifuku likes to live happliy and brightly. She promises to do her best so she can have a fun summer.

Pandemic Boo-Boo explodes! The team have been paired together for the first round. Hikari Noa is the only member of the Up Up Girls to have previously competed in the Princess Cup. She said Natsumi Maki is the most difficult person to wrestling in the tournament. Noa admits she probably won’t win but it is still her goal to get the victory no matter who she faces.

Miu Watanabe failed to enter the Princess Cup last year because she lost the qualifier match to Hikari Noa. A lot has changed this year so Watanabe is taking her chance to fight power with power against Nodoka Tenma. Speaking of Tenma, she is aiming to go one step ahead of her performance from last year and reach the final.

Himawari Unagi thanks everyone for voting her into the final spot. The first time she saw pro wrestling was last year’s Princess Cup final where she got to watch really cool and pretty women having amazing fights. She wants to be a part of such matches too. Rika Tatsumi felt she lost more than just a match when she was eliminated in the semi-finals last year. Her injury took place shortly afterwards so she is coming into this tournament feeling dissatisfied about her current situation. The only way she can overcome this is win the Princess Cup!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 01/06/2019
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1H: Yuna Manase Vs Yuki Aino
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1G: Maki Itoh Vs Raku
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1F: Yuka Sakazaki Vs Mina Shirakawa
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1E: Miyu Yamashita Vs Mizuki

Mizuki has gotten so used to tag team wrestling that the possibility of going on a singles run makes her feel a little uneasy. She won’t have a tag partner to rely on when she faces Miyu Yamashita in the first round. Yamashita needs to regain some momentum after losing her two championships. But the Princess Cup has traditionally been her Achilles heel. It’s the one place where she suffers upset defeats more often than anywhere else.

Mina Shirakawa describes her match with Yuka Sakazaki is a situation similar to Hayabusa Vs Jushin Liger from the 1994 Super J Cup! Sakazaki is gaining attention outside of Japan so Shirakawa sees this as a great opportunity for her.

Raku gets to enter the Princess Cup for the first time. She wasn’t considered for last year’s tournament because she had not won a match by that point. Maki Itoh intimidated a Weekly Pro Wrestling promoter into calling her the favourite to win this year’s tournament.

Yuna Manase is aiming to get past the 1st Round which is something she was unable to do in her previous two attempts. She believes she cannot advance her career if does not advance into at least the 2nd round. Yuki Aino has impressed Manase with her hard work lately and Aino likes to think of her as a kind sister. Aino wants to leave a strong impression on her as she enters the tournament for the first time.

3. Tokyo Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Sakisama & Misao

None of the NEO Biishiki-gun members are entering the tournament this year. They are more interested in winning the Tokyo Princess Tag Team Titles. Also Sakisama wants Mizuki to join her collection of wrestlers. Her leadership did wonders for Misao. Imagine what it could do for Mizuki?
