TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SE-NO, MERRY CHRISTMAS! 2023”, 24/12/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
365 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Suzume defeated Toga with the Ring A Bell (6:54).
2. 3 Way Match: Mahiro Kiryu defeated Arisu Endo and Haru Kazashiro when Kiryu submitted Kazashiro with a Crab Hold (6:40).
3. Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Wakana Uehara & Shino Suzuki when Itoh submitted Suzuki with the Itoh Deluxe (11:42).
4. Holy Night Miracle Rules Match: Hyper Misao, Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku defeated Mizuki, HIMAWARI & Runa Okubo when Aino pinned HIMAWARI with the Venus DDT (10:47).
5. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe, Raku & Moka Miyamoto defeated Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Arai & Kaya Toribami when Miyamoto pinned Toribami with the Korokan (18:56).
Is next year going to be Moka Miyamoto’s year? She was the one standing tall at the end of Tokyo Joshi Pro’s final show of 2023. The 8-Woman Tag broke down into everyone getting their chances to win but it came down to Miyamoto using the Korokan on Kaya Toribami to finish the action. With plans to wrestle in America again in the new year, Miyamoto hopes to grow and gain more experience. However Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Raku all want to make 2024 their year too so TJPW is going to be as competitive as ever on the road back to Sumo Hall!
A festive ruleset was put together for Match #4. The Holy Night Miracle Rules Match allowed both teams to make a wish to Santa. A bell was hidden inside a Christmas stocking at ringside and whichever team rang the bell would make their wish come true along with Christmas music playing in the room. The other team can ring the bell to stop the wish. Mizuki’s team wished for them to win the match with 2 Count Pinfalls. Hyper Misao’s team wished for Mizuki to be sealed away by being stuffed into a sack. Both wishes would come true during the match and it ended with Yuki Aino picking up the win for her team.
Runa Okubo will be taking a few months off in 2024 to study for her high school entrance exams. Her next match after 4th January is expected to be in March.
With Hikari Noa feeling unwell, she did not wrestle on today’s show. Uta took her place for The Up Up Girls opening performance.

After some sparring Katsumura talked over tactics with them for his Spirit Of Ganbare Title match against Isami Kodaka. They agreed he needed more than just the Ninja Choke to win so Katsumura was taught how to use a series of transtioning submission holds to the arm. The transitions went from Arm Lock to Clothespin to Side Triangle Choke to Cross Armbreaker. Tokoro gave him encouragement for the title match. He also showed support for Ito who will be competing for the Interim King Of Pancrase Flyweight Title on 24th December.

Another title match added to TJPW’s Ittenyon show. Free WiFi are defending the Princess Tag Team Titles against Daisy Monkey. All of the previous challengers for Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta were makeshift teams but Suzume & Arisu Endo have been an established pair for a good while now. Daisy Monkey has had one previous shot at the belts back in April 2022 when they lost to The Magical Sugar Rabbits. Both Suzume & Endo associate the championship with MagiRabi the most because they were TJPW’s strongest ever team. Now that Yuka Sakazaki is gone from TJPW it makes Daisy Monkey want to win the titles even more to carry on that legacy.

AJPW “NEW AGE CHRONICLE‐Z ～JUMP OVER～”, 05/10/2023
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
332 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Atsuki Aoyagi & Rising HAYATO defeated MAO & Rukiya when HAYATO pinned Rukiya with the Sid Vicious (16:36).
There were DDT wrestlers on three All Japan shows this month for various reasons. The sudden rivalry between the two companies led to more crossovers happening. First was MAO & Rukiya showing up on a show put together by Rising HAYATO to gather together young and cool wrestlers just like him. HAYATO & Atsuki Aoyagi won in the main event thanks to HAYATO’s top rope Lionsault that is named after Sid Vicious.

Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

0. Frontier Zone: YOSHI-HASHI, Toru Yano, Tiger Mask, Ryusuke Taguchi & Oskar Leube defeated Takeshi Masada, Kazuma Sumi, Kengo, Jun Masaoka & Takahiro Katori when Taguchi submitted Katori with the Oh My & Garankle (8:14).
In between all of the All Japan stuff was two DDT wrestlers showing up in New Japan. NJPW put together the Frontier Zone as a pre-show exhibition for outside wrestlers to interact with New Japan’s regulars. Kazuma Sumi got a unique experience by fighting the big young lion Oskar Leube, who was a last minute replacement for YOH. Meanwhile Takeshi Masada was more concerned over not losing the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title to anybody from New Japan. He outright told the English commentary team he would get fired if he lost the belt to a New Japan wrestler.

1. AJPW Vs DDT Tag Match: Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani defeated Takao Omori & Yoshitatsu when Sakaguchi pinned Omori with a Running Knee Butt (7:26).
A few days after Takao Omori & Yoshitatsu failed to take the All Asia Tag Team Titles back from DDT, they faced the next challengers Eruption. Omori almost beat Yukio Sakaguchi with the Ax Guillotine Driver but Hideki Okatani broke the count. Sakaguchi came back and rocked Omori with the God’s Right Knee before hitting another Running Knee Butt as Omori was getting back up for the finish.
AJPW “HATAAGE COMMEMORATIVE SERIES 2023”, 21/10/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,340 Fans
1. AJPW Vs DDT: Sanshiro Takagi, HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya defeated Shuji Ishikawa, Ren Ayabe & Black Menso~re when Takagi pinned Menso~re with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (10:23).
2. AJPW TV 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Suwama, Mayumi Ozaki & Maya Yukihi defeated Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani (c) when Suwama submitted Akai with a Vise Sleeper (12:14).
*Eruption fails in V2. Suwama, Mayumi Ozaki & Maya Yukihi become the 7th AJPW TV 6-Man Tag Team Champions!
Eruption can no longer call themselves Double Crown Champions. They dropped the AJPW TV 6-Man Tag Team Titles to the unlikely trio of Suwama, Mayumi Ozaki & Maya Yukihi over the weekend. Suwama was too strong for Akai and used his power to block the Quetzalcoatl. He instead put Akai in a tight Sleeper Hold until she passed out. The result means the AJPW 6-Man Tag Titles are now back home with All Japan for the most part. Unless Ozaki & Yukihi manipulate Suwama into giving power of the belts over to OZ Academy.
DDT did score a win against AJPW earlier in the show though. Sanshiro Takagi led his team into battle against former ally Shuji Ishikawa and even scored the winning pinfall. There was some friendly fire when Takagi rode in on the Dramatic Dream bike but crashed it into Rukiya by mistake. After the match Takagi cycled off but HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya were left behind to be ambushed by The Saito Brothers! They all brawled to the back.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 22/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
289 Fans
1. Yuki Aino defeated Toga with the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire (5:53).
2. Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Suzume & Runa Okubo when Harajuku pinned Okubo with the Pom de Justice (8:52).
3. 3 Way Match: Mizuki defeated Haruna Neko and Shino Suzuki when Mizuki submitted Suzuki with the Face Lock (6:53).
4. Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami defeated Nao Kakuta & Haru Kazashiro when Misao pinned Kazashiro with the I Am A Hero (10:16).
5. Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Rika Tatsumu, Miu Watanabe, Moka Miyamoto & HIMAWARI when Nakajima pinned HIMAWARI with the Northern Lights Suplex (13:44).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Arisu Endo defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Camel Clutch (9:56).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Yuki Arai defeated Hikari Noa with the Finally (11:43).
The last two matches in the first round of the Tokyo Princess Cup took place today. Yuki Arai got her revenge from last year’s tournament by eliminating Hikari Noa in the main event! She blocked Noa’s Blizzard Suplex and returned fire by giving her the Full Nelson Buster. Noa had some life left to keep moving but Arai caught her with the Finally to win the match. Arai said she is now in her 3rd year of wrestling and she decided she is not going to lose anymore! Now that she avenged last year’s defeat to Noa, she wants to aim even higher to meet everyone’s expectations of her.
Joining Arai in the Quarter Finals is Arisu Endo who finally won a Princess Cup match in her third attempt. She took on Mahiro Kiryu, an opponent also so determined to win today that she didn’t apologise after doing her Double Knee Drop! Endo focused on using the Camel Clutch to win. Kiryu got out of the first one thanks to a rope break but she ended up getting slammed into the centre of the ring and Endo put her in the hold again to make her submit. Endo can’t wait to face Arai in the next round because she remembers losing to her once before in a tag match. She thinks it is time to repay that debt.
The rest of the Quarter Finalists got some ring time against each other in Match #5. Miyu Yamashita was able to pair off with Moka Miyamoto while Yuki Kamifuku showed Miu Watanabe it won’t be easy beating her on 29th July. Meanwhile Shoko Nakajima and Rika Tatsumi were left in a stalemate too, although Nakajima went on to win the match for her team.
Something the roster has learned about Haru Kazashiro during her short wrestling career so far is she likes superheroes. So when Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami put together something called the Hero Research Society, they invited her to join and offered her a hero mask. Before she could accept, Nao Kakuta told her to focus on the match instead and grabbed the mask for herself. Still, the hero team encouraged Kazashiro to pose while wrestling. It all turned out to be a sham so Misao could attack her opponent while her guard was down. Later after the show Misao tweeted that Kazashiro passed the test anyway and is welcome to join the group as a scholarship student. Kakuta however was not accepted to join.

11. DDT Universal Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Matt Cardona (w/ Steph De Lander)
12. KO-D Openweight Title – Good Com Asset Presents: Yuji Hino (c) Vs Chris Brookes
Chaos broke out at a rally event held by Akito, Soma Takao & Yoshitomo Shimohigashi to promote the show. Pheromones found out the location was at a store where the DDT GM Hisaya Imabayashi works part-time. Imabayashi is currently subcontracted to DDT instead of being a full time employee, so he got a part-time job here to make up for his drop in salary. When Pheromones crashed the event and started causing trouble with Akito’s team they ended up dragging a bystander into the situation. That person turned out to be Buchigire Ujihara, a comedian and Youtuber who is friends with Shimohigashi. Imabayashi found out who he was and started complaining it’s unfair that he has to work these low paying part-time jobs while Ujihara gets rich by acting a fool on Youtube. Since Imabayashi is not fully employed by DDT, he no longer sees the point in opposing Pheromones. Instead he is going to be on their side at Sumo Hall under the name Hisaya Kachikire. In response to this Ujihara agreed to be in the corner of Akito’s team for the match.

2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shuichiro Katsumura & Takuya Wada (c) Vs Hartley Jackson & HARUKAZE
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs YuuRI
It’s been a weekend to remember for YuuRI. She settled a score with Misa Kagura going back to their JTO beginnings, won the main championship of Ice Ribbon the next day and is now challenging Isami Kodaka in a bid to rescue the Spirit Of Ganbare Title! This isn’t the kind of match Kodaka was expecting to get involved in after taking Ganbare☆Pro’s singles belt but he is still intrigued by the challenge.
GanPro’s first attempt and defending themselves against DoiKuma did not go the way they wanted it to. Ken Ohka was beaten but still wants to fight Kuma Arashi to get his revenge. Arashi is not interested in facing Ohka one on one and has plans elsewhere to worry about. Koji Doi however is interested in fighting Ohka by himself while Arashi is busy.
GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO BATTLE GAREGGA ’23”, 11/08/2023

1. ICEx∞ Title: YuuRI (c) Vs Ami Manase
The ICEx∞ Title is the name of the championship YuuRI won in Ice Ribbon. Her title win is significant because she is only two years and eight months into her wrestling career. The only person to have won that title with less experience at the time was Suzu Suzuki at one year and eight months. YuuRI decided her first title defence will be at the next Ganbare☆Joshi show. She picked Ami Manase to be her opponent because they haven’t fought each other in GanJo yet.

Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
202 Fans
1. Suzume defeated Haru Kazashiro with the Mikazuki Meteor Shower (6:14).
2. Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao & Shino Suzuki when Raku pinned Suzuki with the Doctor Yellow (9:30).
3. Mizuki, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko defeated Arisu Endo, HIMAWARI & Runa Okubo when Mizuki submitted Okubo with the Face Lock (11:04).
4. Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima, Wakana Uehara & Toga defeated Rika Tatsumi, Hikari Noa, Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami when Yamashita pinned Toribami with the Attitude Adjustment (13:29).
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Yuki Kamifuku defeated Nao Kakuta with the Famouser (9:56).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Miu Watanabe defeated Yuki Aino with the Tear Drop (15:10).
Round 1 of the Tokyo Princess Cup continued with last year’s finalist Miu Watanabe advancing past Yuki Aino in the main event. She countered the UBV into the Tear Drop to win the match, bringing the third straight show in a busy weekend to an end. Watanabe said seeing everyone in Tokyo Joshi Pro gathering together to make new memories this summer makes her happy. It makes her want to beat the best in TJPW and win the Princess Cup! Unfortunately for Aino this loss is the latest in a string of big defeats. She blamed it on failing to make a decision during the most critical moment of the match. It pains her that she never lives up to the expectations of everyone who supports her. However her flame has not burned out and she can do her best again to become stronger.
Watanabe is going to face Yuki Kamifuku in the Quarter Final after Kamifuku defeated Nao Kakuta in a fierce fight. The result is revenge for Kakuta pinning Kamifuku at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’23” earlier this month. Kamifuku said she didn’t want to get beaten up by Kakuta again so she decided to fight back. Now she’s worried about how she looks after the match just in case she bumps into Sho Hirano on the street tonight. For her next round match against Watanabe, Kamifuku said she will not be training or going to the dojo. Instead she’s going to the club where she hopes to meet her future husband Hirano. She prays he will come to see the match and cheer her on, making her win with the power of love! Meanwhile Kakuta said she has no regrets because she did everything she could. She recently found out TJPW described her as the “Uncrowned Queen” in their show program. It’s not a nickname she hates but it did take her aback. She’s going to continue being stubborn and persistent so she can finally accomplish something as a pro wrestler.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO FIGHTING SPIRITS ’23”, 16/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
205 Fans
1. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: Sumire Natsu defeated Riara with the Shining Wizard (10:32).
2. Banny Oikawa Comeback Match: Cherry & Alex Lee defeated Miyako Matsumoto & Banny Oikawa when Cherry submitted Oikawa with the Sakuran Bokari (10:20).
3. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: SAKI defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Power “Zu” Ram (11:27).
4. Makoto & Asuka defeated Ami Manase & Marika Kobashi when Makoto pinned Manase with the Death Valley Bomb (16:59).
5. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: YuuRI defeated Misa Kagura with the Swanton Bomb (11:15).
As Ganbare☆Joshi begins to grow, so too does YuuRI’s success at winning matches. She scored a significant victory today by beating her old JTO classmate Misa Kagura in the main event of the latest GanJo show. With this momentum, YuuRI will be heading over to Ice Ribbon tomorrow to challenge Totoro Satsuki for the ICEx∞ Title. She told the fans she is going to win the title in the afternoon and then show up at the evening’s Ganbare☆Pro show as a champion! Backstage Kagura said she is aiming to win the ICEx∞ Title this year too. She will win it from YuuRI!
A Super Kick & Death Valley Bomb combo from Asuka & Makoto put Ami Manase down for the count. This may also be the last time we see Marika Kobashi in GanJo for a while because she is visiting England in August to spend the rest of her summer studying.
Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs SAKI was a match between two former wrestlers who made their starts in Actwres girl’Z. SAKI won the match but Hasegawa refused to shake her hand afterwards. She explained backstage that shaking hands like that would end her story with SAKI. She wants to get stronger and face SAKI again to keep that story going. When SAKI heard that was the reason, she asked if she can bring in wrestlers from her Color’s unit to turn this situation into a promotional rivalry against GanJo.
One of of Ice Ribbon’s former wrestlers returned to the ring at this GanJo show. Banny Oikawa had her comeback match teaming with Miyako Matsumoto, the woman responsible for convincing her to enter GanJo. Sadly Oikawa’s big return was spoiled by Cherry & Alex Lee. Cherry used her Sakuran Bokari submission hold to make Oikawa give up and lose the match. Still, Oikawa is committed to the return and announced she will be back in GanJo for their 11th August show. She wants to work her way up to GanPro so she can wrestle in mixed gender matches.
In a battle of the night life hostesses Sumire Natsu defeated Riara. The match consisted of Natsu pouring a bottle of champagne over her opponent and also attacking her with a whip until the referee stopped her. Natsu knocked the ref down but that led to Riara grabbing the whip and using it to fight back. However Natsu regained control of the match and pinned Riara with the Shining Wizard. Then after the match Riara unexpectedly asked Natsu if she wanted to form a tag team together! Natsu didn’t give her a straight answer. Instead she said pro wrestling and the entertainment business both value connections so they will meet again some day.
Yuna Manase appeared at the beginning of the show, thanking the fans for making up the biggest attendance yet for a GanJo show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 16/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
223 Fans
1. Arisu Endo defeated Runa Okubo with the Camel Clutch (5:06).
2. Pom Harajuku, Haruna Neko & HIMAWARI defeated Hikari Noa, Shino Suzuki & Haru Kazashiro when Harajuku pinned Suzuki with the Pom de Justice (9:10).
3. Mizuki & Hyper Misao defeated Wakana Uehara & Toga when Misao submitted Toga with the Chickenwing Face Lock (10:25).
4. Miyu Yamashita, Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Yuki Aino, Nao Kakuta, Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami when Kamifuku pinned Toribami with the Famouser (10:16).
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima defeated Suzume with the Locomotion Northern Lights Suplex (13:52).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Rika Tatsumi defeated Raku with the White Dragon Sleeper (10:37).
Day 2 of the Tokyo Princess Cup avoids the upsets of the opening show. Rika Tatsumi had to survive Brain Chop after Brain Chop from Raku to advance into Round 2. Raku put up a good fight by using the Front Neck Lock and Hurricane Turn but to no avail. Once Tatsumi trapped her in the Dragon Sleeper it was all over. Despite losing, Raku said the match makes her want to work harder because wrestling is fun. Tatsumi praised Raku after the match for her recent growth in the ring. She isn’t looking forward to the next round on 29th July because her opponent there is a rather strong one.
Any hopes Suzume had of repeating last year’s strong run through the brackets were dashed aside by Shoko Nakajima. Maybe it’s because Nakajima is the kind of wrestler to match Suzume with doing high risk dives in and out of the ring. Suzume found ways to avoid the 619 and Northern Lights Suplex but a determined Nakajima eventually found her target with those moves. She had to use the Locomotion version of her finisher to put Suzume away. Nakajima said she had to go all out to win her 1st Round match. She is motivated to win the Princess Cup for the second time in order to face Mizuki for the Princess Of Princess Title. She heard that Mizuki was going to nominate her as the next challenger if she had won the tournament. Suzume said she did everything she could do today. It’s just that Nakajima is too big of an opponent for her to compete against right now. But someday Suzume is certain she will be seen as Nakajima’s rival.
