This was just going to be a list to tweet out but by the time they revealed the complete results I figured it would make a good blog post too. Tokyo Joshi Pro asked their Twitter followers to vote for the best TJPW matches of 2020. Each voter was allowed pick three matches in order from 1st to 3rd. 85 matches were nominated out of over 150 votes. The top listed matches will be included in the “BEST OF TJPW 2020” DVD being released later this year. A few matches were tied in the same spot with the same number of votes.

4. Miu Watanabe & Mirai Maiumi defeted Mizuki & Pom Harajuku when Watanabe pinned Harajuku with the Tear Drop (10:26).
5. Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls: Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Maki Itoh (2) defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Miyu Yamashita (1).
5a. Nodoka Tenma pinned Mahiro Kiryu with the Killswitch (6:28).
5b. Maki Itoh pinned Miyu Yamashita with the Itoh Royal (5:26).
5c. Rika Tatsumi pinned Nodoka Tenma with the Missile Hips (6:03).
Today was the final Tokyo Joshi Pro show of 2020. The big finale was a 2 out of 3 falls 8-Woman Tag Match. On one side was the Princess Of Princess Champion, the Princess Tag Team Champions and the woman who has been with TJPW since day one. On the other side was their Korakuen Hall opponents including the International Princess Champion. In the first fall Maki Itoh immediately called out Miyu Yamashita to start the match with her. The Bakuretsu Sisters took care of Toyo University Tag when Yuki Aino Side Suplexed Yuki Kamifuku and Nodoka Tenma pinned Mahiro Kiryu with the Killswitch to win the fall.
In the 2nd fall, Rika Tatsumi got the hot tag to swing momentum her team’s way. The match went back to Yamashita versus Itoh. Yamashita went for the Crash Rabbit Heat but Itoh countered it into a Crab Hold. Yamashita tried rolling out of it until Itoh crossed her legs in a Cloverleaf position. But instead of going for the Itoh Deluxe, she instead used a Jackknife to pin Yamashita for the three count! The Cloverleaf Jackknife has now been named the Itoh Royal.
The final fall saw Yuka Sakazaki jump in to face Tatsumi. She avoided the White Dragon Sleeper and countered the Twist Of Fate into a Northern Lights Bomb before tagging out to Tenma. Tatsumi got the better of Tenma after all the wrestlers got involved in a scramble. The Toyo University Tag used a Big Boot/Spinebuster combo on Tenma and Tatsumi pinned her with the Missile Hips to win the deciding fall.
Tatsumi credited everyone’s teamwork for their win today and promised to carry the momentum going to Ittenyon. She will turn everything upside down and become the new Princess Title! Sakazaki understands Tatsumi wants to make a fresh start in the new year but Sakazaki hasn’t done enough to make up for all the missed opportunities from this year. She cannot let Tatsumi win the title off her because she still wants to defend it in 2021. She has been through a lot this year but it has not been all negative. This year she established a bond with the audience and she can feel the love from everyone who took the time to come see her wrestle during such a difficult time.
TJPW’s second PPV on OPENREC.tv will take place on 30th January as Twin Box AKIHABARA. That is the venue where the very first TJPW training shows took place before they went into full event production. It will be eight years to the date when the show takes place which is why the PPV name “STARTING POINT” is very fitting. Just like in the old days, matches will happen on a mat instead of a ring and there will be musical performances from an idol group (TBA) before the matches.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’21”, 04/01/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Marika Kobashi & Moka Miyamoto Vs Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko
2. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
3. Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel Vs Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori
4. Aja Kong, Mizuki & Raku Vs Miu Watanabe, Nao Kakuta & Mirai Maiumi
5. Arisu Endo Debut Match: Suzume Vs Arisu Endo
6. Miyu Yamashita Vs Maki Itoh
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi
The main event has a lot going for it. Yuka Sakazaki and Rika Tatsumi have known each other for years, even before they began training to be pro wrestlers. Seven years ago Sakazaki convinced Tatsumi to go train together so she is a special person in Tatsumi’s life. But for this match Tatsumi sees Sakazaki only as the Princess Of Princess Champion. Tatsumi wants to defeat “The Magical Girl who resembles Fudo Myoo” so she can transform from a White Dragon into a Dragon God!
According to the Toyo University Combo, their bond is more stronger than those between sisters. Yuki Kamifuku thinks she and Mahiro Kiryu are more like clones of the Toyo University founder Inoue Enryo’s daughter! The Bakuretsu Sisters don’t just want to make memories out of their Princess Tag Team Titles reign. They want to defend the belts as much as they can because it took them so long to win them.
Two years ago, Maki Itoh failed to beat Miyu Yamashita in the Ittenyon main event. It was a poor performance that at the time left her traumatized. Now she realizes it was not a setback but valuable experience. When she sticks up her middle finger it is a sign of confidence and determination. Itoh’s middle finger cannot be broken! Yamashita thinks this is a Tokyo Joshi Pro match that can appeal to the world. She’s letting Itoh do the talking now. When they get in the ring Yamashita will show her what she’s really got.
Arisu Endo is a 22 years old from Fukushima and is 150cm tall. She became a pro wrestler because she loves wrestling but is nervous to have her debut match. Endo’s favourite wrestler is Reika Saiki and she wants to become as cool as her. Suzume is looking forward to see what kind of wrestler Endo will be so she is happy to be her debut opponent.
Aja Kong is back! Mizuki is honored to team with her. Raku’s wrestling career is currently three years old. She thinks three year olds still need to take naps so she will do so. Miu Watanabe sees this match as a bridge between idols and pro wrestling. Nao Kakuta’s goal for 2021 is to win a championship so a win here will give her momentum. Mirai Maiumi wants to show the kind of brilliance in Korakuen Hall that only she can.
Sena Shiori has been frustrated by losing to NEO Biishiki-gun over and over since the unit returned and turned their attention to her. There’s nothing she can’t do with Hikari Noa which is why she thinks they can win. Noa is surprised she gets to team with Shiori in Korakuen so quickly. She wants to help her win her first match because it will happen on the first anniversary of Shiori’s debut.
In a rematch from last year’s Ittenyon, Shoko Nakajima and Hyper Misao will face off again. Last time the loser had to change their name for a month. Misao beat Misao and renamed her Akemi Daredasore. Misao has changed her name a few times in her career, even her private one because she recently got married but she hasn’t forgotten about that match. Which is why she wants the same stipulation for the rematch and have it become an annual gimmick for the Ittenyon show! Nakajima accepts the challenge because she has very few things to protect. She believes the more things a person needs to protect, the more weaknesses they have.
The opening match is between the two youngest generations in Tokyo Joshi. Marika Kobashi will be celebrating her 5th anniversary of her debut. Moka Miyamoto thinks she is the exact opposite of Kobashi but they can do their best as a tag team of active college students. Haruna Neko isn’t bothered by who is her juniors or seniors in the match. She just wants to win. Pom Harajuku felt she wasn’t able to work hard in 2020 so she wants to get 2021 off on the right track with a victory.
The live broadcast of the show will have separate streams. ABEMA will host the local broadcast with Haruo Murata and Sayoko Mita on commentary. WRESTLE UNIVERSE will provide live English commentary for the first time with Mark Pickering and Stewart Fulton on the headsets.

1. Marika Kobashi defeated Sena Shiori with a Front Neck Lock (5:17).
2. Nao Kikuta & Mirai Maiumi defeated Hyper Misao & Moka Miyamoto when Kikuta pinned Miyamoto with the Shiden Kai (9:15).
3. Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Haruna Neko & Suzume when Saint-Michel pinned Suzume with the Tarte Tatin (7:54).
4. Miyu Yamashita & Hikari Noa defeated Maki Itoh & Raku when Yamashita pinned Itoh with the Skull Kick (11:21).
5. Shoko Nakajima, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Pom Harajuku when Aino pinned Harajuku with the Venus DDT (15:39).
6. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).
The Magical Sugar Rabbits Vs Daydream went the distance. Rika Tatsumi had Mizuki in the White Dragon Sleeper until Yuka Sakazaki broke it up. Sakazaki then prevented Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe from giving Mizuki the Daydream Eternity. Tatsumi fought off the Sugar Rabbits by herself but when she climbed the top turnbuckle, Mizuki threw her off with an Avalanche Cutie Special. Time rang out and the bell rang before Mizuki could go for the pin. After the match Sakazaki wanted to speak but Tatsumi took the microphone from her. She couldn’t win today but she will definitely win on 4th January! Tatsumi wants to become Princess Of Princess Champion and make Tokyo Joshi Pro as famous as The Beatles! There’s not much time left until the Korakuen Hall show so Sakazaki feels she now has to rush towards 4th January. Mizuki threw her support behind Sakazaki and said she believes in her.
After Match #4, Maki Itoh demanded Tetsuya Koda to book her versus Miyu Yamashita in a singles match on 4th January. Koda informed her that they were randomly drawn together earlier to have a singles match in Nagoya on 19th December. Itoh still wants the match to happen in Korakuen because this week is her 4th anniversary of her pro wrestling debut and it was against Yamashita. They also headlined Korakuen two years ago so the latest rematch must happen in the same venue. Yamashita’s answer was immediately cut off by Itoh who said she will beat her in Korakuen! Yamashita made mention afterwards that there would be little point in having the Korakuen match if she beats Itoh in Nagoya.
Mei Saint-Michel was excited to wrestle a cat and asked Sakisama if they could take Haruna Neko back to their mansion. Sakisama took a close look at Neko and got her face scratched. Saint-Michel then stepping in to protect Neko from Sakisama. Neko then scratched Saint-Michel in the face, ending their brief friendship. Later in the match, Suzume was taken out when she slipped on the tray trap. Saint-Michel ended up using an assisted Shiranui from Sakisama to pin Neko. Sakisama scolded her after the match and said she doesn’t need a pet. She still has more trials to go through in order to become a great lady. The next one will be at Korakuen Hall so today was their last appearance in 2020.
Trainee Arisu Endo will have her debut match on 4th January. She does not know who her opponent is yet but she will do her best no matter what.

3. Street Wrestling In Nemuro Where I See What Samson Miyamoto Left Behind: X Vs X
The mascots of both DDT and Big Japan face off. I suppose Pokotan and Death Kamo-kun will have a wrestling match but who knows what Danshoku Dieno wants them to do. He is hyping up the show by saying it will be something he has never seen anyone else do and it won’t broadcast anywhere outside of his Pia Live Stream.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’20 ~WOMM (WRESTLING OF MY MIND)~”, 06/12/2020
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall
1. International Princess Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) Vs Mahiro Kiryu
Last month, Yuki Kamifuku and Mahiro Kiryu were supposed to team together in Narimasu and fight for a Princess Tag Team Titles shot. Kamifuku had to pull out of the match with a broken finger. When Kiryu challenged her for the International Princess Title this week, the champion knew it must take place in Narimasu for that reason.
Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel will be on the show. Two things happen every time NEO Biishiki-gun reappear in Tokyo Joshi Pro. Sakisama and her loyal partner go after the Princess Tag Titles and they end up feuding with the newer members of the roster. Suzume & Sena Shiori look to be the feud if Saint-Michel’s immediate opinion on them is anything to go by.

5. Homoiro Clover Z Vs NωA Full Scale Battle ~ Oishi Contra Oishi: Danshoku Dieno, Akito & Makoto Oishi Vs Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Makoto Oishi
Long ago, way back in February of this year Homoiro Clover Z reunited at a BOYZ show. Their return was met with defiance from the also reunited NωA and the two sides argued over who the real music idols of DDT were. As a member of both units, Makoto Oishi was stuck in the middle and unable to choose a side. A decision was made to do an Oishi Contra Oishi match with the winners getting Oishi all to themselves. The idea was forgotten about when BOYZ came back in August but it’s happening here on Christmas Eve! Oishi has to wrestle for both teams too.
There is one other match to be announced.

He also wants to win the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title this year but there is only one Ganbare☆Pro show left on the 2020 schedule. He had to convince Asuka it would be an easy defence for her in order to get the title shot.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’20 ~WOMM (WRESTLING OF MY MIND)~”, 23/11/2020
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
??? Fans – Withheld
1. Nao Kakuta defeated Haruna Neko with the Shiden Kai (6:10).
2. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Miyu Yamashita & Marika Kobashi when Nakajima pinned Kobashi with the Northern Lights Suplex (8:20).
3. Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Moka Miyamoto defeated Maki Iyoh, Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori when Tenma pinned Shiori with a Diving Body Press (14:18).
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Suzume & Mirai Maiumi when Kiryu pinned Maiumi with the Spinebuster (7:32).
5. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Mzuki & Raku when Tatsumi pinned Raku with the Twist Of Fate (13:08).
Rika Tatsumi is taking her time when it comes to Yuka Sakazaki. She has a lot on her mind about their history together heading into 4th January so she will talk about it little by little. When she heard Sakazaki at “WRESTLE PRINCESS” say she will always give it her all because she doesn’t want to lose, that connected with Tatsumi. She’s happy to know they share the same mindset. Tatsumi normally doesn’t like working out and practicing hard but she will begin secret dragon training to prepare for the Ittenyon Princess Of Princess Title match.
Mahiro Kiryu got revenge on Mirai Maiumi for eliminating her in the International Princess Title tournament 1st Round by pinning her in their tag match. Kiryu was frustrated by the loss while still being happy to see Yuki Kamifuku win the vacant title. Now that she won today, Kiryu wants to face Kamifuku for the championship! Kamifuku understands where Kiryu is coming from but she isn’t sure Kiryu is stylish enough to be the same kind of champion she is. Still, she accepted the challenge and asked for it to be an important match they will both improve from. She also decided that the match should happen in Narimasu because that was where they were supposed to team up and fight for a Princess Tag Team Titles shot back in October.
Early in Match #3, Sena Shiori needed to tag out. Maki Itoh wanted to tag in but Shiori ignored her to tag Hikari Noa instead. After those two tagged in back and forth, Itoh got fed up and began attacking Noa and they fought each other on the floor. They eventually got along again when they realised Shiori was left to fight The Bakuretsu Sisters and Moka Miyamoto on her own.
Hyper Misao entered the ring wearing a veil and carrying a bouquet while “Happy Summer Wedding” was playing instead of her normal music. Everyone heard that on Friday she got engaged. Today she announced that on 22nd November she and Takamasa Utashiro got married! Now that she is a wife, Misao wants to repent for her past mistakes and spread happiness to other people. So she will give her bouquet to somebody else she wants to be happy. Marika Kobashi is still a little young so Misao chose Miyu Yamashita. She handed her the bouquet and then it suddenly sprayed water into Yamashita’s face. It was a trap! Yamashita quickly recovered and gave Misao a Soccer Kick. Misao’s tag partner Shoko Nakajima declared their plan a failure and the match went on as normal.
The Shiden Kai used by Nao Kakuta is a Spinning Stunner.

5. Hyper Misao Retirement Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Hyper Misao with the Missile Hips (8:53).
Hyper Misao shocked everyone before the main event by announcing it was going to be her retirement match! Instead of wrestling Super Sasadango Machine as planned, they instead set up “The Yamelorette” to determine Misao’s final opponent. The participants each tried to impress Misao because she wanted to face against somebody she always respected. Miyu Yamashita gave Misao some delicious mentaiko, Shoko Nakajima gave Misao a Mecha Godzilla figure, Miu Watanabe gave Misao a portrait she drew of her, Rika Tatsumi slapped Misao out of anger, The Bakuretsu Sisters sang a song about Misao and finally Sasadango gave advice to Misao about retirement because he retired once before. Everyone then had to say a haiku about Misao and after that she made her decision. She wanted to wrestle her retirement match against Tatsumi and she handed her a piece of green streamer tape.
Tatsumi went on to beat Misao with the Missile Hips. They gave each other a fist bump after the match. Misao then explained what was going on. She said she had thought about her retirement since last year and decided to retire in 2020 after five years as a wrestler. She debuted at 25 years old with no athletic experience and had an injured ACL that she kept secret for a year. She felt she wasn’t fit for pro wrestling but she still liked it and enjoyed being in Tokyo Joshi Pro. Misao thanked Sasadango for helping her set up today’s project but wait, she isn’t done yet! There is something Misao still has to do and that is get married!
Suddenly, Misao invited Takamasa Utashiro from the DDT press team (and previously from Shukan Puroresu magazine) to enter the ring. Turns out they’ve been in a relationship for two years. He had previously wanted to propose to her but waited until the time was right. Since Misao was going to retire today, now would be the time to propose, right? Not so fast! Misao wants to accept the proposal but doesn’t want to quit pro wrestling for it. She asked Utashiro if he would still marry her just the way she is, as Hyper Misao the pro wrestler. Sasadango protested and said this was against totally against “The Yamelorette” rules and would be punished with death. Utashiro knocked down Sasadango and told Misao that the DDT website is already reporting on their engagement! Sasadango congratulated the couple and said he would retweet the message. Utashiro then gave a proper marriage proposal to Misao in the ring. Misao said yes! She apologised to everyone else for a crazy hour where she retired, unretired and got engaged. She promised she will continue to protect love and peace in TJPW, this time as a married wrestler!
Tatsumi had a busy day. Not only was she in Misao’s “retirement” match she also won the 5 Way Survival bout against four other major players in TJPW. Maki Itoh was the first elimination. Everyone else pinned her after she missed the Flying Big Head. Yuka Sakazaki & Shoko Nakajima used their Miraclians teamwork to eliminated Miyu Yamashita. Tatsumi then beat the numbers game to be the last woman standing. Tatsumi called for Sakazaki’s attention after the match. She talked about how both of them became trainees together and before Tatsumi even knew it, Sakazaki was winning championships. Sakazaki, Yamashita and Nakajima got to wrestle abroad and Itoh has a big fanbase overseas too. Those are the names that always get big matches and today they all lost to Tatsumi! She challenged Sakazaki for the Princess Of Princess Title. Sakazaki accepted the challenge and spoke about all the twists and turns they went through together. Normally Shin-Kiba 1st RING would be the most suitable venue due to their history together but she has a better time and place to do the match. They’re going to do it at Korakuen Hall on 4th January!
The newest member of NEO Biishiki-gun was going to be revealed today. Sakisama came out accompanied by the returning Martha. But Martha wasn’t her tag partner. Instead it is a new maid. Sakisama said that one day she was walking in the woods while playing a flute. Her music attracted this little girl and she became immediately attached to Sakisama. So she decided to bring the girl into NEO Biishiki-gun and have Martha train her to become a first class maid. The maid introduced herself as Mei Saint-Michel. She quickly insulted Suzume & Sena Shiori so you can see why Sakisama likes her. Saint-Michel made Shiori submit to an Arm Clutch Crab Hold that is now named after herself. Pleased with the result, Sakisama said she and Saint-Michel will return on 6th December. They’ll be busy all November picking chestnuts.
