*V8 for Mr. Malo.

Some of the tricks and treats you get for Halloween don’t always turn the way you want them to. Baka Gaijin + Friends brought in a former champion to challenge Mr. Malo for the BK-G Openweight Title. That former champion is Kazuki Hirata and any high hopes for him to dethrone the champion immediately fell apart. Malo easily distracted him, gave him a Low Blow and rolled him up with a School Boy to win in seconds. MAO then confronted Hirata after the match and complained to him in a manner like Hisaya Imabayashi, causing the match to be restarted. Malo distracted Hirata again, gave him another Low Blow and pinned him with another School Boy. Takayuki Ueki (who worked the show as the ring announcer and was dressed as Reze from Chainsaw Man) then did the complaining and the match restarted again. Same thing still happened. Mr. HAKU couldn’t help but shout from the camera spot and complain to Hirata for losing like this. Another restart happened but the same thing happened once more. Now Chie Koishikawa joined in the complaining and got another restart. Malo didn’t even need to distract Hirata this time, he just did a Low Blow and pinned him. Chris Brookes stormed out to yell at Hirata in both English and Japanese before granting one more restart. The same thing still happened but this time Brookes broke the pin and everyone ganged up on Malo. Hirata blew his spot though and Malo went back on the attack, going as far as to destroy the Hirata GO glasses. Suddenly Mr. Bueno appeared to cheer on Hirata and motivate him into making a comeback. He then pulled out an extra pair of Hirata GO glasses and placed them on Hirata to make him power up with his dance. His second wind was cut off when Malo handed him a small jack-o’-lantern filled with firecrackers, filling the room with sparks and small explosions coming from Hirata’s hands. Malo then rolled him up with a School Boy once more to win yet again.

More surprises were in store when an unadvertised Halloween Rumble took place after intermission. Munetatsu Nakamura set the stage for how weird it was going to get by entering the match dressed as a Labubu. Entrant #2 turned out to be Thai wrestler Jonathan Johnson acting like The Joker. MAO was the next entrant dressed as a large square wall. He gleefully stood in the way of the fans to block their view while being impervious to his opponents’ attacks. Kota Ibushikoshi entered dressed as a schoolgirl but MAO escaped from his own costume to pin him with a Running Knee Strike for the first elimination. Next entrant was Chie Koishikawa in a shark costume running around biting everyone. Sayaka dressed as Haku from Spirited Away calmed her down by offering her a rice ball. Koishikawa ate it and felt full enough to take a nap. Everyone else pushed MAO on top of her and then piled on for the pin. Things took a turn when Ram Kaichow ran into the room dressed as Chucky and stabbed Sayaka with a machete! That was enough for a three count and Sayaka was out. The final entrant then appeared. It was Antonio Honda as Pero Pero Oyakata, his tribute gimmick to Hulk Hogan. He ripped off his vest but felt so cold in the room that he wanted to quit. But first he wanted to tell a Gongitsune story and then poked everyone in their eyes. MAO tipped over and fell so he was easily pinned. Oyakata then used the Pero Pero Driver (set up like the Pedigree but he swivels his hips to snap his opponent’s neck) to eliminate Johnson and Nakamura. The match slowed down when he tried to use the move on Kaichow. She escaped and with an upward swing, struck Oyakata between the legs with her machete. That put him down for the count and Kaichow won the Rumble.

Mr. Bueno decided to wrestle his match wearing an inflated sumo wrestler costume for his match against Kota Sekifuda. He also decided his sumo name is Takatoriki Jr. (Takatoriki being Yukio Naya’s father). The two briefly fought their way out of the room. Bueno returned first and expected to win by countout but Sekifuda returned wearing his own inflated sumo costume! They wrestled sumo style until Bueno tried to climb onto the bar counter for a high flying attack. Except when he was ready to do it, Sekifuda pulled out a living snake from his costume! He used the snake to scare Bueno back down to the floor so he could wrap the snake around his neck. Bueno escaped and physically forced Sekifuda to hand the snake away to Daisuke Kiso. Sekifuda climbed onto some stools to do his own dive but Bueno acted like he had a snake of his own hidden in his costume. Sekifuda didn’t fall for it but Bueno still blocked his dive and used an Inside Cradle to get the win.

In the opening match Brookes was dressed like one of the Baseball Furies from The Warriors. His opponent K4PY was dressed in a schoolgirl outfit, a decision that led to a few wardrobe malfunctions as the match progressed. Brookes found a fan dressed like one of The Brahman Brothers and got them to do the rubber band spot from across the room. Brookes ended up winning by giving K4PY the Praying Mantis Bomb, almost damaging something from the ceiling in the process.


DDT Around The World – September 2025

October 1, 2025

The post-summer rest is over and done with. There are two separate stories that Konosuke Takeshita is now travelling through. One in New Japan might see him become the next IWGP World Heavyweight Champion with a reign that can bring him right into the Tokyo Dome. The other is a path leading him towards Kazuchika Okada in AEW that could end with him holding the AEW Unified Title when all is said and done. At least that’s how little old optimistic me is seeing things at the moment. He spent September getting built up for a title shot with Okada and came out of it empty handed.

While that was going on, Tokyo Joshi Pro were making moves towards complete global saturation! They’ve already taken over the women’s division in MLW and have more talent coming over to America in the next couple of weeks. Then after that they move on to take over Malaysia and Thailand with some first time shows taking place in those countries later in the year.

We’re also not done with Maki Itoh yet. She broke her silence after leaving TJPW last month by declaring herself the most cutest unemployed wrestler in the world. She has another tour of America coming up so the next step is to see if she will do anything new with GCW now that she can dedicate herself more over there or if she is just going to continue playing the hits.

Results


AEW “COLLISION”, 06/09/2025
2300 Arena, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

1. Konosuke Takeshita defeated Mark Briscoe with the Raging Fire (17:54).

First up this month was Takeshita taking on Mark Briscoe in the venue most remembered for being the ECW Arena. What came off as a no nonsense singles match ended up being spoiled when MJF unexpectedly ran in to push Briscoe off of the top rope. The appearance was unexpected because MJF was supposedly on his honeymoon at the time. Takeshita appeared not to mind because it gave him the opening to hit Briscoe with the Powerdrive Knee and then pin him with the Raging Fire. However after the match he gave MJF a shove because he actually was annoyed over his interference. Don Callis stepped in before things could heat up and got Takeshita out of the ring before another fight broke out between Briscoe and MJF.


ROH “ROH ON HONORCLUB”, 11/09/2025 (Aired 18/09/2025)
2300 Arena, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

1. Pure Rules Match: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Janai Kai with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (4:42).

We got a Yuka Sakazaki match this month but not the one I thought it was going to be. Her appearance in the ROH Women’s Pure Title Tournament hasn’t taken place yet. Instead she fought Janai Kai in a warm up match using Pure Rules so she can get the hang of them. Although outside of two rope breaks there was nothing different to a normal match. Also Sakazaki walked out to what sounded like a new remix of her entrance song.


AEW “COLLISION”, 11/09/2025 (Aired 13/09/2025)
2300 Arena, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

1. AEW Unified Title Eliminator Match: Konosuke Takeshita defeated Anthony Bowens with the Raging Fire (9:14).

Next up for Takeshita was his participation in a quick tournament that was put together for the AEW Unified Title match at the next AEW PPV. He fought Anthony Bowens with the winner advancing to a 3 Way title match at “ALL OUT”. Bowens badly needed a result to get himself out of a funk he is currently going through. He at a Reverse Hurricanrana from Takeshita and popped back up to give him a Leaping Famouser from behind. But he ultimately fell to the triple combo of Blue Thunder Bomb, Powerdrive Knee and Raging Fire. Takeshita would then reappear later in the episode to point at Okada and send the message that he is after his stablemate’s championship!


MLW “FIGHTLAND”, 13/09/2025
NYTEX Sports Centre, Dallas, Texas, USA

1. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) defeated Yuki Kamifuku with the Locomotion Northern Lights Suplex (9:46).
*V3 for Shoko Nakajima.

The working relationship between TJPW and MLW continues to look strong as the joshi side seems to be increasingly filling out the entire women’s division in MLW. It led to a little bit of an ambitious booking to help advance the Kyoraku Kyomei Vs Ober Eats storyline in TJPW. While Shoko Nakajima and Yuki Kamifuku were busy fighting each other over the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title in America, their partners Hyper Misao and Wakana Uehara were meant to have a singles match together back in Japan on the same day. Sadly an accidental injury to Uehara caused by Misao cancelled plans for the latter from happening. Back in MLW, Kamifuku couldn’t put Nakajima away with her usual signature moves so she went up to the second rope to do the Diving Famouser. Nakajima dodged it and pulled out two successive Northern Lights Suplexes to get the win and retain her championship.


AEW “ALL OUT TORONTO”, 20/09/2025
Scotiabank Arena, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

1. AEW Unified Title: Kazuchika Okada (c) defeated Konosuke Takeshita and Mascara Dorada when Okada pinned Dorada with the Rainmaker (20:55).
*V3 for Kazuchika Okada.

Hey this was a treat! Okada and Takeshita trying to wrestle each other but you throw the new Mascara Dorada from CMLL in there as a wild card to constantly get in the way and you got yourself a heck of a match there. If anything Dorada had something of a breakout performance that stole the spotlight away from the other two. Okada ended up getting away with it in the free for all. Takeshita gave Dorada the Raging Fire but then got hit by Okada’s trademark Dropkick. That sent Takeshita tumbling out of the ring leaving Okada to pick up the pieces and used the Rainmaker on Dorada for the victory.


AEW “DYNAMITE”, 24/09/2025
Petersen Events Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

1. Mark Briscoe, Hologram & Orange Cassidy defeated Kazuchika Okada, Konosuke Takeshita & Hechicero when Hologram pinned Hechicero with the Portal Bomb (10:36).

More cracks were surfacing within The Don Callis Family thanks to the uneasy alliance between Okada and Takeshita. Callis tried to blow it over by revealing his latest work of art to everyone but that was hijacked by the return of Orange Cassidy! Some teamwork from Cassidy & Hologram on Hechicero led to their team getting the win while we end our time this month wondering what is next for this story going on between Okada and Takeshita.


ROH “ROH ON HONORCLUB”, 24/09/2025 (Aired 02/10/2025)
Petersen Events Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

1. Pure Rules Match: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Zoey Lynn with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (4:23).

This one slipped past me. Sakazaki got in another Pure Rules match at the end of the month, this time beating Zoey Lynn. Sakazaki had her back worked over and it still looks like like Pure Rules style doesn’t make a difference in how her matches are laid out. But Sakazaki Super Kicked Lynn’s head off and pinned her with the Magical Merry-Go-Round.

Upcoming Appearances


ROH “ROH ON HONORCLUB”, ??/10/2025
???, USA

1. ROH Women’s Pure Title Tournament – Round 1: Serena Deeb Vs Yuka Sakazaki

We had to wait a month for this match to happen? What’s the freaking holdup? Now that I notice it, Sakazaki wrestled this month but Serena Deeb didn’t.


MLW “SLAUGHTERHOUSE”, 04/10/2025
Thunder Studios Arena, Long Beach, California, USA

1. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs HIMAWARI

TJPW’s takeover of the MLW women’s division moves even further with Nakajima’s next defence. HIMAWARI is coming back for another MLW appearance and is immediately given a title shot. I think the endgame for Nakajima is to face Shotzi Blackheart but MLW are in no rush to get there.


VIP “SETTING THE BAR 11”, 10/10/2025
The Haltom Theater, Haltom City, Texas, USA

1. VIP Women’s Title – 3 Way Match: Maya World (c) Vs Vert Vixen Vs Kaya Toribami

The Texas tour has left a big mark in TJPW’s future plans for America. They see it as a good hub to hunker down in for a potential overseas expansion. They even see the benefit of creating Texas Joshi Pro Wrestling just because they could still call it TJPW. But this is looking way out into the future so for now they’re just going to plant a seed here and there to test things out. First up is Kaya Toribami heading over to compete on a VIP Wrestling show. She gets to be part of a 3 Way Match with Maya World and Vert Vixen with the VIP Women’s Title on the line.


VGM “FIGHT VGM FIGHT WRESTLING STARS MEET AND GREET & PRO WRESTLING MATCH”, 18/10/2025
Full House, Liangxi, Wuxi, China

1. Rika Tatsumi Vs HIMAWARI

China gets another taste of TJPW when Rika Tatsumi and HIMAWARI face off at the Fight VGM Fight show.


CMLL “VIERNES ESPECTACULAR”, 24/10/2025
Arena Mexico, Mexico City, Distrito Federal, Mexico

1. Grand Prix de Amazonas: Persephone, La Catalina, Olympia, Skadi, Reyna Isis, Zeuxis, India Sioux, Lluvia & La Jarochita Vs Kanji, Diamante, Shoko Nakajima, Hazuki, Koguma, Mina Shirakawa, Skye Blue, Julia Hart & Thekla

Back in 2019 Nakajima got to go on a tour of Mexico with CMLL with stops at Arena Mexico, Arena Coliseo and Arena Puebla. There was even a rare DVD of her lucha matches that TJPW and LADY’S RING put out that is in my collection somewhere. Now six years later she gets to go again but as a representative of MLW rather than TJPW. CMLL are holding the fifth annual Grand Prix de Amazonas torneo cibernetico for their women’s division that pits Mexico against the world. The international team has plenty of Japanese talent on it this year. Nakajima will be joined by Mina Shirakawa plus the FWC pair of Hazuki & Koguma. It would be goofy if politics between Stardom and TJPW somehow came into play here. In reality I think it’s just a coincidence that Nakajima is labelled an MLW wrestler instead of a TJPW one because she has been MLW’s long term champion for this year.


GCW “YOU WOULDN’T UNDERSTAND”, 07/11/2025
The Webster, Hartford, Connecticut, USA

1. Maki Itoh Vs X

The Cutest Unemployed Tour begins! Itoh’s first new booking announcements since leaving TJPW are all gathered around GCW in the month of November.


GCW “MASSACRE IN MAINE”, 08/11/2025
Yarmouth Amvets, Yarmouth, Maine USA

1. Maki Itoh Vs X

She’s going to Connecticut and Maine and Vermont to put them all on the map!


GCW “GREEN MOUNTAINS AND ME”, 09/11/2025
Barre Elks Lodge, Barre, Vermont, USA

1. Maki Itoh Vs X

Got confused for a moment and thought this was the Elks Lodge in New York that ECW used to book.


SETUP/IWA THAILAND “A NEW DAWN”, 14/11/2025
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi

1. SETUP All Asia Women’s Title – 3 Way Bangkok Death Match: Matcha (c) Vs Ram Kaichow Vs Pom Harajuku
2. IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles: Andruew Tang & Jake De Leon (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami Vs Kappa Kozo & Kappa Jr.
3. Double Main Event I – Ace Vs Ace: Shivam Vs HARASHIMA

Big plans are going ahead for SETUP’s first ever show in Japan. They have a double main event planned and HARASHIMA’s in one of them. He is facing Shivam, the leader of Real Global Threat who feels he has ran through all of his competition in Southeast Asia. So now he wants to face the best that Japan has to offer, which is where HARASHIMA steps in.

RGT currently hold the IWA Japan SETUP World Tag Team Titles and will defend them against two very different tag teams. The monster team of Kappa Kozo & Kappa Jr. are returning to their IWA Japan roots while TJPW is sending Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami over to claim some gold as part of their upcoming visit to Thailand.

TJPW is also betting on Pom Harajuku to win back the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title. She’s beaten Matcha for that belt before in a No DQ Match, a result that Matcha would love to correct. Matcha also got her title back from beating Raku which made Raku’s “husband” Ram Kaichow feeling pretty mad when she found out about it. SETUP decided to let these three collide and to make things even more dangerous it is going to be a Bangkok Death Match!


DDT/TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LOVE & PEACE”, 15/11/2025
JioSpace, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia

Both DDT and TJPW are putting together a show in Malaysia alongside the local idol group KLP48. So far the DDT talent announced are Sanshiro Takagi, Chris Brookes and Shinichiro Kawamatsu. Also Shota is there as a freelancer. The TJPW side are sending over Miu Watanabe, Raku, Shino Suzuki and Yuki Kamifuku.


HOG “SUPERCLASH”, 15/11/2025
Suffolk Credit Union Arena, Brentwood, New York, USA

1. Maki Itoh Vs X

WXW “25TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR”, 21/11/2025
Markthalle, Hamburg, Germany

1. Dani Luna Vs Miyu Yamashita

Looks like Germany is definitely the first stop for Yamashita’s European tour.


WXW “25TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR”, 22/11/2025
Gruenspan, Hamburg, Germany

1. Miyu Yamashita Vs X

I haven’t paid much attention to wXw lately so your guess is as good as mine in regards to who Yamashita can wrestle over there.


GCW “DREAM ON”, 22/11/2025
American Dream, East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA

1. Maki Itoh Vs Zayda Steel

What looks to be Itoh’s last GCW appearance for the month has her going toe to toe against Zayda Steel.

1. Miyu Yamashita Vs X

A new place in England for Yamashita to wrestle in. She makes her Progress debut at the end of November.

The twelve TJPW members going over are Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku, Arisu Endo, Shoko Nakajima, Miyu Yamashita, Raku, Pom Harajuku, Suzume, Yuki Arai, Kaya Toribami, Shino Suzuki and Uta Takami. Also part of the show will be Alexis Lee and Matcha from the SEA side.

*Kyoraku Kyomei fails in V4. Ober Eats become the 19th Princess Tag Team Champions!
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe defeated Mizuki (c) with the Spinning Tear Drop (22:58).
*Mizuki fails in V4. Miu Watanabe becomes the 16th Princess Of Princess Champion!

It took nine months but Miu Watanabe has regained her spot in Tokyo Joshi Pro as the Princess Of Princess Champion! She was warned by Mizuki not to mess with her and the champ tried to break down Watanabe with big moves like the Cutie Special, the Diving Foot Stomp and the Face Lock. Watanabe’s power became an effective counter through the use of Power Slams and the Giant Swing. She also carried Mizuki up to the top rope so she could Avalanche Power Slam her right back down to the canvas. Mizuki got a nearfall with the Whirling Candy and tried going for the Cutie Special. But Watanabe countered it into a High Angle Tear Drop and then out-grappled her into do a spinning version of the Tear Drop for the victory.

After the match Watanabe said this was her second title match with Mizuki this year and it feels like she’s had her all to herself. There is no other princess like Mizuki because she is kind and considerate so Watanabe is happy to win the belt that Mizuki made shine so brightly. Now as the summer is about to end, Watanabe will make sure the Princess Title will shine even brighter! After she said that, Yuki Aino entered the ring and said the match that just happened was too amazing. She used to consider herself as Watanabe’s rival because they both debuted in the same year but before she knew it Watanabe has gone way ahead of her. Aino wants to have a passionate title match with the new champion to prove her worth. Watanabe said they haven’t fought each other much lately so she would like to see Aino being passionate in the ring up close in person. She accepted the challenge and the match will take place at Korakuen Hall on 18th October. Watanabe can become the Summer princess and Autumn princess all she wants because all Aino is aiming for is to become champion! When Aino left the ring, Watanabe told the fans she will make TJPW become the biggest dreamland in the world!

The Princess Tag Team Titles were on the line in a rematch from Las Vegas but Hyper Misao predicted the outcome would be the same. She then asked Wakana Uehara if she is ok to wrestle after losing a few teeth recently. Uehara defiantly told her she can fight and proved it by pulling out a hamburger and taking a bite out of it! She even decided to bite Shoko Nakajima in the arm later in the match! Kyoraku Kyomei had to go back to their other usual tricks like Misao spraying the other team or crashing her Hypami Mobile into Mahiro Kiryu at ringside. However Yuki Kamifuku proved to be the difference maker. She prevented Nakajima from doing the Locomotion Northern Lights Suplex and instead cut her down with the Diving Famouser to win the match.

Backstage Kamifuku talked about how much she hates competing in important matches like title bouts and tournament finals because they are such hard work. But she didn’t want to let Uehara down and summoned a rebellious spirit to win and look cool towards her partner. She also explained that despite being a regular for TJPW all this time, she’s really been a freelancer wrestling for the company through an entertainment agency. She doesn’t know if she needs to speak to Sanshiro Takagi or Tetsuya Koda about this but now that she’s won a second TJPW championship it is time for her to become a full time member of the company! Uehara said if it wasn’t for Kamifuku, she would have broken down after her injury and wouldn’t be here as a champion right now. Kyoraku Kyomei were hoping to hold the Tag Titles long enough for their annual singles match on 4th January next year. They didn’t underestimate Ober Eats but they admit they fought a version of them they’ve never seen before. Nakajima & Misao lost today so they’ll go become even stronger in ways the other team have never seen before!

Arisu Endo’s smile has grown a little bit wider because she has won the International Princess Title! The vacant belt was up for grabs with Endo having to face Priscilla Kelly instead of her originally opponent Jada Stone. Kelly tried to throw Endo off her game early then switched to being more aggressive as the match went on. Endo wore her down with a Sleeper Hold and a Camel Clutch, keeping her grip on her submission even after Kelly tried to slam her way out of it. Kelly used her own skills with a counter attack that included a Sliding German Suplex and also a Dragon Suplex. But Endo fought her way back with a Thrust Kick that set up the match winning Ju no Okite. Endo joked about how heavy it feels to hold the belt. She is overjoyed that for the first time in her life she won something all by herself. With this belt she hopes to go visit many fun places where she can eat delicious food. Her summer has been scorching hot and she wants it to get even hotter like up to trillions of billions of degrees!

Aino earned her claim for a Princess Title shot by joining the short list of people in TJPW to ever have made Miyu Yamashita submit! Yamashita thought Ryo Mizunami was going to be the big target to break down so she and Kaya Toribami focused their efforts against her. Aino didn’t want to be left out though and made sure to go after Yamashita when Mizunami broke through the other team. Aino dodged Yamashita’s kicks and dropped her backwards with the Venus DDT. Then from there she applied the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire. Mizunami did her best to hold Toribami back and Yamashita had no option but to give up. Backstage Mizunami called Aino amazing for achieving that result with the fire she brought out today. Aino asked her to come back to TJPW again so Yukiniki can team more often. Toribami said she was sure her team would win because she thought she had great chemistry with Yamashita. The two of them also want to keep teaming together so they can get stronger next time.

It was Hiroyo Matsumoto’s first appearance in TJPW and she wasn’t interested in shaking hands with her opponents. Although she did quip out some greetings to Haru Kazashiro & Toga while she was wrestling them. When she wasn’t “making friends” she was aiding Yuki Arai in controlling the match. She grabbed Toga to seperate her from Kazashiro, giving Arai the space to hit her finisher and win. Matsumoto said she couldn’t afford to lose since her team had a master-disciple dynamic. She also wants Arai to tell her all about TJPW, like if Kazashiro & Toga felt scared fighting her? Arai calls Matsumoto the foundation that helped give birth to her wrestling career. She also remembers the two moves Matsumoto taught her for Tofu Pro Wrestling were the Heel Drop and the Back Elbow. She admitted she forgot to do the Back Elbow back then which made Milano Collection A.T. made at Matsumoto. But Arai remembered to do it today! Matsumoto thinks the move should now be named The Back Elbow Dedicated To Milano. As for Kazashiro & Toga, they are feeling completely defeated by fighting and outsider like Matsumoto. But they think it will make them mentally stronger so if she ever returns they will be more ready to stand against her again.

A few small flags were placed in opposite corners for the Flag Scramble Death Match. Rika Tatsumi and Pom Harajuku were tasked with grabbing the other’s flag in order to use a weapon. Tatsumi got one first and after Harjuku chased after her, the weapon was revealed to be a bag of 100 colorful plastic balls. Harajuku scattered the balls everywhere and threw them one by one at her opponent. Tatsumi then grabbed the other flag and the weapon turned out to be a large folding fan. She used it at first but then decided she can win without using any. Harajuku then grabbed a flag and received two mega penlights to use against Tatsumi’s fan. The final flag was captured by Tatsumi which allowed her to use the GM Tetsuya Koda as a weapon! He was relunctantly dragged into the ring and thrown at Harajuku. Tatsumi then jumped off the top rope with the folding fan but hit Koda over the head with it by mistake. Tatsumi grabbed the penlight and charged Harajuku only to get rolled up and pinned for the three count. Harajuku wondered what would happen today but since it was a death match with toys in it she knew she would win because she’s a three year old and toys are for babies! She then pointed out the weapons Tatsumi chose were not toys at all so she was actually lucky to win. Tatsumi couldn’t believe she lost to Harajuku and called it the biggest stain on her life. She blames Koda for this!

HIMAWARI decided to rely on her best weapon to try and beat Aja Kong. That weapon is her long hair braids which she explained she is allowed to use because they are part of her body. But when she charged in to whip them around, Kong held her at a distance by her head and then knocked her down with a slap. Kong then tortured HIMAWARI by pulling at her hair, claiming that she isn’t breaking any rules because she is simply grabbing a part of HIMAWARI’s body. Kong continued to use that loophole by claiming her steel can is a part of her body so she can hit HIMAWARI with it as much as she wants! HIMAWARI tried her best to block the attack but eventually took a blow to the head from it. When Kong went for the Back Drop, HIMAWARI fought her off by using Hair Whips but made the mistake of trying to lift her up for the Princess Drop. Instead Kong gave her a Lariat for a nearfall and then the Back Drop to get the win. She gave HIMAWARI some words of encouragement after the match. Backstage she described how dangerous HIMAWARI’s hair is by comparing it to Acrobatic Silky from Dandadan. She warns the next time they fight she will have to cut it off her head! Meanwhile HIMAWARI is threatening to smash the steel can to bits with her hair!

We have entered into a new era of the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Behold the era of Mahironman! Pokotan entered the Battle Royal first as the defending champion but already suffered a bad omen when the mascot’s head fell off. Then during the match Chika Nanase knocked the head off again causing the faceless mascot to briefly transform into Keiju Muto and pin her with the Shining Wizard. Raku entered the match armed with a pillow and formed a very brief alliance with Pokotan before betraying him. Ram Kaichow then entered the match thinking Pokotan was actually Raku inside the costume. So when the real Raku saw them hugging and dancing together, she attacked both of them with the pillow and pinned Pokotan. However since the pillow was directly on top of Pokotan during the pin, Daisuke Kiso declared Raku’s Pillow was now the champion! The Pillow also eliminated Shino Suzuki when Kira Summer gave her the Samoan Drop with the pillow in between them. Raku eliminated Summer and then patched things up with Kaichow to knock Mifu Ashida out of the ring while Mahiro Kiryu was confused by all of the pillow spots. Kiryu ended up getting Raku to accidentally eliminated Kaichow and then gave her the Spinebuster on top of the pillow for the three count. Kiso ended the match there because he counted the pin on both Raku and the pillow, making Kiryu the new champion! Kiryu would like to welcome all challengers to come fight her for the title but she is feeling tired at the moment and requests to get some rest first. Then when she’s ready people can come challenge her in moderation.

The opening match was filled with kindred spirits in multiple pairings. Suzume was teaming with Ren Konatsu who she inspired to become a pro wrestler. Mei Suruga came over from ChocoPro to team up with Uta Takami and the two of them are as close as sisters given how similar they behave. Plus Suzume and Suruga being in the ring again gave fans a Meibee Surprise reunion. But those two ended up cancelling each other out, leaving Konatsu to duke it out against Konatsu. Suzume made it back in to cut off the Koala Clutch only for Suruga to take her out with a Diving Cross Body. Takami went back to Konatsu with a short range Dropkick before applying the Koala Clutch again, getting the submission win. Takami said her wish came true because she wanted to win with Suruga in Ota Ward. Suruga wished it would have happened under better circumstances since both her and Suzume were recently champions at the same time but they both no longer have any. But she sees how Suzume is looking forward so she will do the same and hopefully some day it will lead them to having a singles match against each other.

Three new trainees were introduced to the fans at the start of the show. They are currently named Shion, Anri and Yuka. All three are currently training with the goal of eventually making their pro debuts.

The first ever TJPW event in Thailand will take place on 13th December! “TJPW LIVE IN BANGKOK” is being held in The Circus Studio with help from SETUP Thailand. Around 10 TJPW wrestlers will be on the show along with wrestlers from the Southeast Asian scene. Pumi Boonyatud the owner of SETUP was in attendance to announce the news.

The next big arena show for TJPW will be happening on 29th March, 2026. It will be “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” and the venue for it is Sumo Hall! By the time it takes place it will be just under two years since TJPW’s previous show in the building.

New merchandise was revealed for TJPW’s collaboration with Katamari Damacy. As part of the campaign, Mizuki and Suzume will attend next weekend’s Tokyo Games Show for an autograph session.

8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

Act III begins. Tokyo Joshi Pro’s year long trilogy of major shows held at Ota Ward Gymnasium ends with the sixth annual “WRESTLE PRINCESS” show. And to be honest it’s really just the main event that’s doing a the heavy lifting here. That might end up becoming the payoff of a nine month lone storyline while so much of the rest of the card doesn’t have much to talk about when it comes to the last few months of shows. What it lacks in build it instead makes up for with wrestler relationships past and present. Most of the guests have some sort of association with the wrestlers they will be in the ring with. An injury on short notice also caused a couple of changes the card including one of the championship matches.


1. Suzume & Ren Konatsu Vs Mei Suruga & Uta Takami

The show kicks off with a tag match filled with kindred spirits. Suzume was the inspiration for Ren Konatsu to become a wrestler and it didn’t take long after her debut for the two of them to team up. Meanwhile the two sisters from other misters have found each other again. Mei Suruga & Uta Takami are back together to show that apples and ice cream are for everybody. These four have enough energy by themselves to keep the venue’s power in check for the rest of the show.


2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Staggered Entry Battle Royal: Pokotan (c) Vs Raku Vs Mahiro Kiryu Vs Shino Suzuki Vs Mifu Ashida Vs Kira Summer Vs Chika Nanase Vs Ram Kaichow

I might be wrong but ever since the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title got its new belt it feels like the championship has spent more time out of DDT than in it. It’s been hovering near TJPW for over a month now and they seem to like holding the Battle Royal on their undercard. The DDT mascot Pokotan is currently the champion and must fight off seven opponents to survive another day. Not a lot has changed with the usual crew of opponents getting involved. Mahiro Kiryu is still apologetic, Shino Suzuki has her Up Up Girls duties, Mifu Ashida really likes using the Y-Shaped Guillotine in her matches, Kira Summer got to wrestle in Malaysia recently and Chika Nanase is adapting to more of a gal style for her appearance. The wild card is Ram Kaichow. Just like last time she is a late entry to the match and TJPW is anticipating she will pull off a plan to win the championship before the match even starts again. I assume Raku will be glad to help her with that once more.


3. Aja Kong Vs HIMAWARI

I have worked out one realistic way for HIMAWARI to win this match. She will have a chance if she can travel back in time to 1987 so she can claim seniority over a rookie Aja Kong and therefore win via the senpai-kohai pattern of Japanese wrestling booking. Otherwise she’s boned. Those hair whips are not going to do a thing against Kong’s steel can. Even when Kong is having a good day she will still whack someone over the head with one of those things.


4. Flag Scramble Weapon Death Match: Rika Tatsumi Vs Pom Harajuku

Okay this was not in the plans at all. Rika Tatsumi’s original match got pulled because her opponent was bumped up to one of the title matches so instead of fighting the woman who licked her face that one time seven years ago, she now has to babysit Pom Harajuku. It’s bad enough trying to chase Harajuku around but she also usually finds ways to try and trap Tatsumi out of venues so she can almost win by countout. That might not happen here because special rules are being applied to make up for the match change.

Both wrestlers will start the match with a flag in their corner of the ring. If you steal your opponent’s flag you will be allowed to choose one of two pre-determined weapons to use for the rest of the match. What these weapons will be we just have to wait and see. It’s just two weapons though so it will only take both flags being captured for both weapons to come into play. Will Tatsumi bring her sasumata pole back? Can Harajuku wheel in a gacha machine again like she did in Texas? Is Yukinori Matsui going to be the ref so he has to deal with this silliness with that tired look on his face?


5. Hiroyo Matsumoto & Yuki Arai Vs Haru Kazashiro & Toga

Welcome “Lady Destroyer” to TJPW! Hiroyo Matsumoto goes way back with Yuki Arai by being one of her coaches for Tofu Pro Wrestling from 2018. It gives Arai something to bounce back from after losing in the main event of her previous Ota Ward appearance. The young team of Haru Kazashiro & Toga have been chosen to be their opponents. Toga is excited to fight Matsumoto head on and is even confident she can knock her down with her Elbow Strike. Although her new friend Yuna Manase warned Toga she better go all out to stand a chance against Matsumoto.


6. Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami Vs Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino

It’s a Yukiniki reunion! None of Ryo Mizunami’s previous visits to TJPW this year had anything to do with Yuki Aino so it’s nice to finally see them back together after being apart for this long. The highlight of Aino’s year so far was becoming the main character of the third annual “HYPE!” show (and its director’s cut) which again begs the question, has she finally figured out how to take the next step up the card yet? Maybe it’s for the best that Yukiniki stick together because Aino’s best work is as a tag wrestler.

Their opponents aren’t much of a solid team yet but maybe there’s something to be found with this pairing. Miyu Yamashita might be heading into a new stage of her career as TJPW’s first “Leader” of the locker room. She’s out of the title picture and no longer has Maki Itoh to work off of in the company. However she sees potential in Kaya Toribami and wants to see for herself what the masked woman can unleash in the ring. Toribami is getting more confident which is also opening up more opportunities for her. Like getting slapped in the chest by Mizunami a lot. Gotta fly through that fire eventually, bird.


7. International Princess Title Match: Arisu Endo Vs Priscilla Kelly

Can we get Poison Sawada JULIE to take a look at the International Princess Title belt because this championship is back to being cursed again. In a sad turn of events, Moka Miyamoto’s title reign couldn’t even get out of the starting blocks because as soon as she won it at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” she then fell ill and had to take time off for treatment. When it became clear that whatever it is she’s been dealing with was keeping her out of action for the long term, the title was vacated. A new champion will have to be crowned at Ota Ward.

I though TJPW’s two choices for the title match was a good piece of booking. On one side was Arisu Endo who is in the middle of a breakout run that included reaching the final of this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup. She is also the tag team partner of the previous champion Suzume. Endo’s opponent would be Jada Stone, the American who fought Suzume in a neat two match series over the title during the year but couldn’t win the belt in either match. That’s an intriguing pairing to me. Then earlier this week Stone posted the bad news that she suffered a knee injury and had to cancel her next tour of Japan to go get an MRI scan.

So plans for the IP Title had to change again. Endo is still in the match and now her opponent is going to be Priscilla Kelly. It’s been over seven years since Kelly had her couple of tours with TJPW. Endo wasn’t around for that so I hope those who were have given her fair warning of what to expect. WWE didn’t change her that much when she was Gigi Dolin over there. Kelly is also starting to build up her own little collection of championships on the American indies. She hasn’t been shy about taking pictures of herself about to lick the belts in victory. Will this be the next fate for the IP Title?


8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara

Terry Funk ain’t wear no mouthpiece and neither does Wakana Uehara.

The last time Kyoraku Kyomei defended the Princess Tag Team Titles against Ober Eats was in Las Vegas back in April. At the time Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara had only just begun teaming and couldn’t match the many years of chemistry that only a kaiju and a superhero could produce together. Shoko Nakajima in particular is having a heck of a year. Not only is she keeping up to her usual level on TJPW shows, she also went and took over MLW’s women’s division in America. To help build up to this match, Nakajima even defended the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title against Kamifuku in Texas just last week. Her message going into this match is loud and clear. You won’t win if you can’t bite like a kaiju!

An injury robbed us of a clever match buildup because while Nakajima and Kamifuku were fighting over a championship in America, TJPW was going to have Hyper Misao face Wakana Uehara on the same day back in Japan. The booking made sense given that Ober Eats earned their rematch thanks to Uehara pinning Misao in an 8-Woman Tag involving the two teams. It felt like a kick in the teeth when the singles match had to be pulled because that’s exactly what happened. Misao accidentally knocked out one of Uehara’s front teeth with a Kingslayer Jumping Knee Strike during a match. Uehara hadn’t wrestled since and has been using the time off to charge herself up for the title bout in between her visits to the dentist.

This is where TJPW is different from a lot of other pro wrestling companies. Normally an injury like this is ripe to build up heat and maybe even lead to a revenge angle at the end of the match as a payoff. But TJPW is not that kind of wrestling promotion. As Misao explained with a tweet after the match, inflicting injuries is not a badge of honour here. This also isn’t the place to where wrestlers are motivated to take an eye for an eye (or a tooth for a tooth). With that being said I bet it will feel pretty sweet for Uehara if she can pin Misao with a Jackknife Pin for the three count again, this time to win the tag titles. It’s a pair of belts that have evaded Kamifuku for as long as both have existed in wrestling.


9. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

Something that TJPW’s 2025 should be remembered for is the story arc of Mizuki Vs Miu Watanabe. It’s been a tale of princesses and monsters often with the roles being merged together. When the year began, Watanabe was the Princess Of Princess Champion who became so dominant that she was accused of becoming the kind of monster she had to beat to win the prize in the first place. Then on 4th January Mizuki entered the story as the hero slaying the “Monster” to win the title as the true “Princess” she is. As the months progressed, Mizuki held onto the belt with two title defences in Ota Ward along with a successful defence in Las Vegas inbetween. She can make it a hat trick of Ota Ward title defences that can turn this reign into the most defining singles run of her career.

While all of that was going on for the rabbit, the monster had to lick her wounds and go find the princess she knew was inside of her. That journey of discovery took place over the summer where Watanabe won the Tokyo Princess Cup, a tournament that slipped through her fingers three years earlier. With that hole in her heart finally patched up, Watanabe found her glow up and is now ready to have the title rematch with Mizuki. Some hints have been dropped along the way from Mizuki noticing her opponent becoming more Cinderella-like to Watanabe literally tripping out of her shoe and leaving it behind while she was exiting an interview. Just like how some bedtime stories go, it will take a magical Tear Drop to turn the monster into a princess so she can live happily ever after. Hang on, isn’t Mizuki supposed to be the princess in this story? She’s not going to give up that cushy gig without a fight!

7. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: Miu Watanabe defeated Arisu Endo with the Tear Drop (20:20).

The heartbreak of three years ago have now been washed away because Miu Watanabe has won the Tokyo Princess Cup after her second appearance in the final! Now it is Arisu Endo who must carry the feelings of making it so far only to fall at the last hurdle. She found her spots to hit the Tsuruga Castle knee drop and then place Watanabe in the Camel Clutch. Watanabe’s power became an invaluable weapon as the match went on because she kept blocking the Ju no Okite and also picked Endo up over her shoulders and twisted her around into a Dragon Sleeper style Giant Swing! Endo got some shots back with the Waterwheel Drop and Super Kick but Watanabe batted her away and pinned her with the Tear Drop to win the tournament.

After receiving her trophy, Watanabe spoke about losing the Princess Cup final to Yuka Sakazaki three years ago. She then said she is happy from the bottom of her heart that Endo was her opponent today because she shines bright and is always strong. The final she lost to Sakazaki was the first year the current trophy was used so for her to finally hold it after so long has washed away the regret from three years ago. Now that she’s reached the top there is one more thing she wants to do this summer and that is win the Princess Of Princess Title back from Mizuki! She invited Mizuki down to the ring. Mizuki came down and told Watanabe she is an incredible princess and also still a monster. Watanabe said the value of the Princess Title has increased because of Mizuki and now that Watanabe is a “Princess” again she is ready to surpass it. The two agreed to have a Princess Title match at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI” on 20th September and they curtsied to each other afterwards.

Backstage Endo was coming to terms over how her summer has ended. She made it all the way to the final and headlined a Korakuen Hall show. So even though she lost she realises how much stronger she has gotten recently and has the confidence to win the tournament next year! She called this the best and hottest summer ever, so much so that she has now come to love this time of year. The fans chanting for her throughout the match gave her strength and she believes it pushed her forward to make it this far under her own merits.

A second big title match was made for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI” over the result of the semi-main event. Aja Kong came by to visit for a match but Kyoraku Kyomei are the current Princess Tag Team Champions and they weren’t going to let anyone push them out of the spotlight today. Hyper Misao even stepped up to start the match off with Kong one on one but she immediately sprayed her in the face instead then sent Kong outside to get wrapped up in the ring apron and taped against the corner post. Kong was able to escape though and poor HIMAWARI became the target of Kong’s team from that point on. Mifu Ashida choked her on the ring apron with the Y-Shaped Guillotine while both Ober Eats members shoved their boots into HIMAWARI’s face and Kong pulled at her braids. Kaya Toribami tagged in to start a comeback until Kong gave her the Back Drop. Toribami got her back with a Spin Kick and a dive from Shoko Nakajima out of the ring found Kong as its target. However that left Misao on her own against Ober Eats and Yuki Kamifuku gave her a Reverse Famouser while Misao was trying to block a roll up from Wakana Uehara. The move did enough damage for Uehara to pin Misao with a Jackknife Pin for the upset win.

Uehara quickly grabbed a microphone after the match and called for Kyoraku Kyomei to give Ober Eats a second shot at the Princess Tag Titles! Even Kamifuku didn’t expect to see her partner do this but she liked how brazen it was. Kamifuku then told Nakajima & Misao they can do the title match at Ota Ward Gymnasium on 20th September. Misao reminded everyone that Kyoraku Kyomei already defended the Princess Tag Titles against Ober Eats in America back in April and they won the match. She wants to know what has changed since then for Kamifuku & Uehara to think they should challenge them again? In fact if it wasn’t for Kyoraku Kyomei then Ober Eats wouldn’t exist! However she cannot deny that she just lost to Uehara so she accepted the challenge. Nakajima warned the challengers that they will get back at them 100 times worse! Backstage Uehara explained to Kamifuku that she was determined to go through with another challenge ever since today’s 8-Woman Tag Match was announced. She really loves teaming with Kamifuku and wants to pay her back for always giving her advice every night. Kong then suggested if Ober Eats become champions then she and Ashida can both challenge them for the belts!

Back in May 2021 when Yuki Arai made her pro wrestling debut, she lost to Maki Itoh in a tag match. In the aftermath Itoh encouraged Arai to continue trying to crush her no matter how many years it will take. Well it took a little bit over four years but today Arai was able to crush Itoh for the first time! It wasn’t easy though. When she gave Itoh the Finally kick, Itoh’s iron head blocked the move and she gave Arai a Headbutt afterwards. However Arai fought fire with fire and delivered a Headbutt of her own to Itoh before striking in hard with the Rookie Award. The damage weakened the iron head enough for the Finally to hit its mark the second time and keep Itoh down for the three count. As a show of respect after the match Itoh tucked in her middle finger and instead gave Arai a pinky shake. Backstage Arai said Itoh has been there for all of her big opportunities in wrestling and she has learned so much from her. She is happy to finally beat Itoh for the first time but knows there will be even more matches in the future so this isn’t over between them. Itoh didn’t have much to say other than today she left it all in the ring and it is up to everyone to think for themselves.

Totsugeki! Mizuki sort of found herself fighting in a Handicap Match because Pom Harajuku brought along an inflatable dolphin to use as a weapon against her. There was also a watermelon pool ring that Harajuku placed Mizuki on and dragged her around ringside with. Mizuki was armed with her trusty Pico Pico Hammer though and eventually threw the dolphin into the audience as well as Harajuku’s shoes. When Mizuki won the match with the Diving Foot Stomp she pretended to offer Harajuku a handshake only to stick her tongue out at her instead. She said backstage that Harajuku’s quirks are what she loves about her and she had a lot of fun fighting her today. Harajuku was left wondering why her stomach hurts and also wants to know where her dolphin Shachinoske went.

One of the teams in the 6-Woman Tag Match was built on inspiration. Rika Tatsumi was the inspiration for Suzume to become a pro wrestler and Suzume was the inspiration for Ren Konatsu to do the same. Meanwhile Yuki Aino was teaming with two teenagers who decided to get matching pigtails just because. And yet there was some inspiration hidden in that side too because Aino used herself as a prop for Haru Kazashiro to springboard herself onto Tatsumi just like how Aino would prop up Nodoka Tenma back when she was wrestling. When Aino pinned Konatsu with the Venus DDT to win, Tatsumi left ringside by herself in a temper. Backstage she wants to know where these young wrestlers are all coming from all of a sudden and also complained about her partners not following her lead. Konatsu said they could have won if Tatsumi hadn’t accidentally choked her near the finish. She told Konatsu not to use excuses and she has to try harder to win. However she gave Suzume more encouraging words and patted her on the back. Aino was happy to be back in Korakuen because it has been six months since Tokyo Joshi Pro was last in the building and today was a brilliant victory for her team. She also thought the sight of Kazashiro & Uta Takami dodging Tatsumi’s Hip Attack was like something out of a horror movie for kids.

Yuna Manase was brought in as a wall for Toga to try and climb over today. Sadly for Toga it is a challenge too tough for her to handle. She couldn’t hide her frustration after losing because when Manase tried to give her praise for the effort, Toga pushed her away and left the ring. She said she thought she had a lot of energy going into the match but Manase took all of it and beat her anyway. Manase reached out to her backstage with a suggestion that they should team up next time rather than be opponents. When Manase left TJPW five years ago it was a decision she made to inspire the TJPW wrestlers but today Toga really inspired her! Toga likes the idea and wants to learn from Manase by doing their best together.

The story spreading around the locker room heading into the show was about Juri Suzue’s skills when it comes to arm wrestling. So backstage Raku and Ram Kaichow approached the teen idol with Kaichow demanding an Arm Wrestling match for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Kaichow quickly learned just how strong Suzue is and was about to lose when Raku started using the power of love to aid her partner. And by power of love I mean distract both Suzue and Daisuke Kiso so Kaichow could use both of her hands to beat Suzue and win the belt.

Kaichow quickly had to make it down to the ring because she was now defending the title in the show opening Battle Royal. The entrances were done Rumble style so Kaichow had to wait for Raku to enter before the happy couple could start making their moves. They eliminated Chika Nanase together but then Raku tried to beat Kaichow to take the title from her! While Kaichow was threatening to divorce Raku over her betrayal, Mahiro Kiryu rolled her up from behind to become the new champion. Miyu Yamashita then entered the match and frightened Kiryu by kicking Kira Summer out of the ring to eliminate her. Suzue entered the match looking to reclaim her title and quickly formed an alliance with Yamashita to eliminate Shino Suzuki. They then did the same to Kiryu so Suzue could become the champ again. The alliance then fell apart and Suzue found herself in the middle of Yamashita and Raku fighting each other. The two of them went over the top rope onto the apron so Suzue used an Axe Kick she named the Suzue Power to knock both of them to the floor and win the match! However she would shortly lose the Iron Man Title again later in the day. Pokotan found her backstage and challenged her to an Arm Wrestling match. It then emptied out a bag of treats onto the table to distract Suzue so it could beat her and run off with the belt.

It was announced that Priscilla Kelly will be at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI”. She had last done a tour with TJPW back in 2018 where she challenged for the Princess Title. In the time since then she had signed with WWE where she wrestled as Gigi Dolin in NXT.

There was an announcement at the beginning of the show about TJPW using a new leadership system behind the scenes. Miyu Yamashita was chosen to be the first “Leader” and she said she is ready to dedicate her life towards TJPW. Tokyo Sports have since reported that her role is essentially like being the chairwoman of a wrestlers association. She is expected to be involved with bringing all of the wrestlers in TJPW together as a united group.

When The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) had finished their show opening concert, it was revealed that Uta Takami is getting her first homecoming show in Kanazawa on 22nd November!

Na-naaaaa na-na-na-na-na-na-na TJPW on the swing! A new collaboration sees TJPW teaming up with Bandai Namco to promote the new “Once Upon A Katamari” video game. Original art has been produced of Yuki Arai, Mizuki, Arisu Endo and Suzume all dressed up looking like the Prince and several of his cousins. While details of what this art will be used for have not been announced yet, unfortunately it has been confirmed that the designs will not be appearing in the new video game itself.

7. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: Miu Watanabe Vs Arisu Endo

The Tokyo Princess Cup now all comes down to Miu Watanabe against Arisu Endo! Watanabe is a little shaken up coming out of the semi final but should be good to go this weekend. An eye injury during the tournament couldn’t stop Maki Itoh from winning the tournament back in 2021 so history is on Watanabe’s side here. Endo is in completely fresh territory as a singles wrestler. She’s won the Max Heart Tournament with Suzume in 2024 but she’s never had a run go this good in the Princess Cup.

It’s been almost three and a half years since Maki Itoh and Yuki Arai fought had their only singles match against each other. Back then it was for the International Princess Title and Itoh won the match. At the time Itoh could see how much potential her opponent had but remained certain she can beat her over and over as time goes by. In the time since that match happaned has Arai been able to put everything together in order to beat Itoh this time?

Two regular guests are showing up to bolster the undercard. Aja Kong is taking part in an 8-Woman Tag Match while Ram Kaichow is among the participants in the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title Battle Royal.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 23: ENDLESS, NAMELESS”, 01/07/2025
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans

1. Special Single Match: Mr. Bueno (w/ Mr. Buebue) defeated Dark King Ueki (w/ Cerberus) with a Japanese Leg Roll Clutch (?:??).
2. Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda defeated Munek & Princess Ram when Honda pinned Munek with a Japanese Leg Roll Clutch (?:??).
3. King Of Square: Shin Mokujin Ken defeated MAO by Countout (?:??).
4. BK-G Openweight Title: Mr. Malo (c) defeated Danshoku Dieno with a Glass Bottle Attack (?:??).
*V2 for Mr. Malo.

Everyone was in for a surprise when the main event was Mr. Malo putting out an open challenge where the BK-G Openweight Title was put on the line. It was answered by Danshoku Dieno! Given that this show was streaming live on Youtube, his antics during the match were very not Youtube friendly. He chased Malo through the crowd trying to Lip Lock him only to catch any male bystander who happened to get in the way. When that didn’t work he made Chie Koishikawa and other women grab Malo so he could spit beer at him but Malo ducked and Koishikawa the women got sprayed with alcohol instead. He then stuck the stem of a flower up Dieno’s backside then pulled it out to stab him with it but missed and stuck it straight into Yukinori Matsui’s mouth instead. With the ref gone missing, Dieno pulled down a banner to give Malo the Danshoku Nightmare (Youtube still had to blur everything in the replay) until Daisuke Kiso showed up as the replacement ref. Dieno tried to lure Malo into the Danshoku Driver but Malo grabbed Kiso by the head and pulled him in his place. Then Malo smashed a glass bottle over Dieno’s head while Kiso couldn’t see it, knocking him out to get pinned. After the match Mr. Bueno grabbed the microphone from Malo and told him he may not be the next challenger but someday he will become the BK-G Champion!

MAO also had a mystery challenger to fight on the show, one who was undoubtedly more square than he is! It was Shin Mokujin Ken! The rule of the match was it could only end on the square mat. MAO got the fans to chant “Shikaku” then polled the fans over who was more square shaped, otherwise they would get counted out for leaving the area. After some measuring between the two, the fans picked Ken. The two then tried to brawl into the crowd but briefly wedged themselves between the wall and a pillar. MAO felt the need to make himself into even more of a square so he grabbed a pack of posters and tucked it into his shirt. The plan worked at first until Ken did a spinning attack that knocked MAO through a nearby doorway. MAO tried to walk back in but got himself stuck in the doorway, causing him to get counted out! He was eventually able to free himself but he can no longer call himself the King Of Square. That title now rightfully belongs to Shin Mokujin Ken!

The first two matches ended up blending together so it’s best to move onto the opening match next. Mr. Bueno fought against Dark King Ueki in what was supposed to just be a one on one match. But Ueki used his magic vase to summon a deadly beast from his magic kingdom, the one headed Cerberus (that was not just a blanket he bundled up over his hand). Bueno was outnumbered until he revealed that he has a friend nearby too. It was a familiar looking puppet in a mask named Mr. Buebue! From that point the match became two versus two that went into the crowd. Buebue was briefly unmasked in the scuffle but Bueno kept his identity hidden until the mask went back on. Cerberus then tried to eat Buebue alive but Bueno pulled it off Ueki’s hand and threw it away! Ueki quickly went for revenge by grabbing Buebue and carrying him over to a nearby open window. He held Buebue hostage demanding Bueno bring Cerberus back to him. Bueno did so but Ueki didn’t live up to his word. He dropped Buebue out the window instead! Bueno lost his temper and attacked Ueki, dragging him all the way out of the building where the match continued away from the audience’s view.

A decision was made to start the second match straight away. In it Munek revealed to everyone what he and Ueki did to Ram Kaichow after they captured her soul two shows ago. Kaichow has now become Princess Ram of Ueki’s Magic Kingdom! Chris Brookes was the first to discover just how strong Ram was with her new magical power as she easily shoved him down from lockups. She is even invulnerable to Brookes’s chops. Munek then tried casting magic to Antonio Honda but all it did was make one of his nipples itchy. However Munek was able to use his magic to stop Brookes from doing the rubber band spot until Ram traded places with Honda. Ram also got to show her power again by giving Brookes a Power Bomb for a nearfall. Just when things looked at their worst, Mr. Bueno suddenly returned with Mr. Buebue safe and sound! Bueno ran in to save the day only to trip over and injure himself. He was in so much pain he wanted to retire but before he does that he wanted Honda to tell everyone a Gongitsune story first. It was all a ruse so Honda could cheap shot everyone (including Ueki who was also back in the room). Everything broke down into a free for all until Ueki accidentally hit Munek with a steel plate. Ueno and Honda then gave them a Japanese Leg Roll Clutch at the same time and both got the thee count, winning their respective matches all at once!

Takeru Inoue is back from his dislocated right elbow injury. If he beats the new president Ryota Nakatsu it could immediately launch him into getting the Union MAX Title shot at Korakuen Hall later this year.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 23: ENDLESS, NAMELESS”, 01/07/2025
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: Mr. Bueno Vs Dark King Ueki
2. Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda Vs Munek & Ram Kaichow
3. King Of Square: MAO Vs X
4. BK-G Openweight Title: Mr. Malo (c) Vs X

Another BK-G Openweight Title defence is coming up for Mr. Malo but he won’t know who his challenger is until they show up. In a similar bit, MAO is also going to face a mystery wrestler to prove who is the most square shaped fighter around. I heard rumours that Dr. Cube was spotted somewhere in Japan causing fights in bars over the weekend but it just turned out to be Zack Sabre Jr. in disguise.

We’re going to see what it’s like for Ram Kaichow to fight under the control of Dark King Ueki and Munek. She’s been able to wrestle in other places pretty normally (if what she does can be called normal) ever since they trapped her soul, to the point that until she saw the match announcement she forgot she’s supposed to be on their side. Must be pretty relaxing when you forget you’re supposed to be someone’s prisoner.
