GANBARE☆WRESTLING “I DO NOT NEED A COMIC MAGAZINE! 2019”, 28/09/2019
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title – Itabashi Three Major Singles Match: Shuichiro Katsumura (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

Whoever leaves the show as the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion is guaranteed to defend it in Sumo Hall this November. Keisuke Ishii was the champion before Shuichiro Katsumura won it off him back in January. Since then Katsumura has defended it five times. If he wins here then he will tie Ishii’s amount of successful defences.

Just to be clear, Kenichiro Arai is the Toryumon graduate and Yumehito Imanari is the art student.

Shota and Shinichiro Tominaga face each other in a battle between damaged ACLs.

Originally Koharu Hinata was booked for the show but she is now unable to appear. In a completely unrelated matter Miss Koharu became available so she takes her place.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “MY LIFE; LET’S ENJOY!!”, 19/10/2019
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Misao (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa

Sakisama has an appreciation for other beautiful people which is why she has at least a little respect for Yuki Kamifuku. Maybe she would have the same for Mina Shirakawa if Shirakawa ever stops trying to rap. But then again rapping is how the Cat’s Pye duo got their Princess Tag Team Titles shot.

Nakajima’s excursion to Mexico with CMLL will be over by the time this show takes place. No word yet on if she will be on this show but it’s likely. Tokyo Joshi have confirmed she will not be on the 9th, 10th and 16th November shows.

The Princess Of Princess Title match for the show is set. Nakajima wanted Yuka Sakazaki to be her opponent. This match takes place two days before Nakajima goes to Mexico on her excursion so she is extra motivated to win and bring the title with her to CMLL.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “KFC 2 DAYS ’19 ~DESERT MOON~”, 16/09/2019
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
340 Fans

1. Mirai Maiumi defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Lariat (5:52).
2. Maki Itoh defeated YUMI with the Itoh Special (7:23).
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa defeated Miyu Yamashita & Himawari Unagi when Shirakawa pinned Unagi with the Implant DDT (8:19).
4. Miu Watanabe, Hikari Noa & Raku defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku when Noa pinned Aino with the Uranage (12:13).
5. Sakisama & Misao defeated Rika Tatsumi & Suzume when Sakisama submitted Suzume with a Goku-rakugatame (11:26).
6. Shoko Nakajima & Mizuki defeated Dalys & Nodoka Tenma when Nakajima pinned Tenma with the Northern Lights Suplex (10:34).
7. International Princess Title: Yuna Manase defeated Natsumi Maki (c) with a Lariat (16:45).
*Natsumi Maki fails in V1. Yuna Manase becomes the 2nd International Princess Champion!

The first International Princess Title reign has been cut short over an unfortunate injury. The champion Natsumi Maki went into the match in less than 100% after suffering lower back pains from yesterday’s match. But while that did have an effect on some moves, it was Maki twisting her leg while taking the Neck Screw Hold from Yuna Manase that derailed their match. Maki was able to kick out of the pin but was unable to stand back up. She got out of the ring where the ringside attendants were able to check on her. A countout began but she got back into the ring at 18. She tried to continue fighting on one knee and refused to call off the match when asked. Maki eventually could stand back up but she was unable to walk. Manase hit a Lariat on Maki to win the championship under tragic circumstances. Manase didn’t celebrate her win. Instead she carried Maki on her back out of the ring. She was then encouraged to return and accept the title belt that she just won. Manase quickly thanked everyone for supporting Tokyo Joshi Pro and she is glad to have found this promotion.

It was announced at the start of the show that Shoko Nakajima will be going on excursion to Mexico this November. She will be gone for two weeks starting on 5th November and will be wrestling on CMLL shows during this period. But first she got to experience fighting against a luchadora by taking on Dalys in a tag match. Nakajima’s team won but Dalys pointed at the Princess Of Princess Title belt and shouted “Mexico!” after the match. Nakajima hopes she will still be the champion when she goes on her excursion so maybe a title defence against Dalys will be in store.

Opponents yesterday, partners today. Unfortunately the bond between Rika Tatsumi & Suzume couldn’t beat NEO Biishiki-gun. Even after the match Tatsumi was knocked away when she tried to confront Misao. When Tatsumi & Suzume left, Yuki Kamifuku entered the ring. She said that she wants to be as beautiful and cool as Sakisama. The best way to do that is challenge for the Princess Tag Team Titles with Mina Shirakawa! Her Cat’s Pye partner came out and said she already has a title belt but she wants to aim even higher by winning a Tokyo Joshi Pro championship. She started to rap about the challenge until Sakisama accepted so she would stop.

Hikari Noa finally gets her win over Yuki Aino.

Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
335 Fans

1. Rika Tatsumi defeated Suzume with the Dragon Sleeper (7:06).
2. Yuki Aino & YUMI defeated Raku & Mahiro Kiryu when Aino pinned Kiryu with the Side Suplex (6:19).
3. 3 Way Match: Nodoka Tenma defeated Himawari Unagi and Pom Harajuku when Tenma pinned Harajuku with the Back Flip (6:09).
4. Miyu Yamashita defeated Mirai Maiumi with a Back Spin Kick (8:16).
5. Sakisama defeated Yuki Kamifuku with the Versailles Foot Choke (9:12).
6. Hikari Noa defeated Miu Watanabe with the Uranage (10:43).
7. Natsumi Maki, Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Yuna Manase, Maki Itoh & Mina Shirakawa when Sakazaki pinned Shirakawa with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (12:05).
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) defeated Misao with the Diving Senton (15:58).
*V3 for Shoko Nakajima.

Misao has been defeated for the first time since her transformation into Sakisama’s guardswoman. Shoko Nakajima was able to reach the ropes to break the Libera Me submission hold. She used a Double Arm DDT to put Misao in position and won with the Diving Senton. With her toughest challenge so far now behind her, Nakajima decided that the next Princess Of Princess Title match should be held at DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2019!” on 3rd November. She already decided on her opponent: Yuka Sakazaki! Together they will show DDT fans the best of Tokyo Joshi Pro at Sumo Hall! They did the Miraclians pose together to end the show. Sakazaki kind of forgot how to do it so Nakajima had to guide her.

Yuna Manase entered to new music. Mina Shirakawa wore the Best Body Japan Women’s Title that she won on 1st September down to the ring. Natsumi Maki mentioned feeling pain around her waist after her match and had to be carried away from the ring. It turned out to be minor and will not effect tomorrow’s International Princess Title defence against Manase. Maki noticed that Manase’s kicks today had more strength behind them than before.

Hikari Noa defeated Miu Watanabe in the latest match between members of the Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling).

Yuki Kamifuku lost to Sakisama but had enough energy left to call for her attention after the match. Kamifuku asked Sakisama what she thinks of her now? Kamifuku thinks she is working hard and doing so both happily and beautifully. She then asked Sakisama to please keep an eye on her. Sakisama surprised everyone by telling her she is looking forward to it.

Rika Tatsumi versus Suzume was a little emotional because the two have been friends since before Suzume trained to become a wrestler. Even though Tatsumi targeted Suzume’s legs in the match and could have beaten her with a Figure 4 Leg Lock, she instead decided to win with the Dragon Sleeper in order to show off her dragon skills. She thinks that hiding beneath Suzume’s pretty look is a strong and tenacious girl. Pro wrestling will bring that girl to the surface.

7. DAMNATION Vs ALL OUT!: Soma Takao, Tetsuya Endo & Puma King Vs HARASHIMA, Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura

A few injuries during the week alters tomorrow’s card. The light one is Sanshiro Takagi. He injured his right eye and is missing this show. He will be getting it further examined next week but hopes to be clear for Masahiro Takanashi’s show on the 15th. Gorgeous Matsuno took it upon himself to replace Takagi in Match #2.

The bad injury happened to Kazusada Higuchi during yesterday’s “UNIVERSE.1” show. He tore his right PCL and has no timetable for a return. He does not need surgery and will be aiming to recover as soon as possible. Ryota Nakatsu takes Higuchi’s place in Match #3.

DDT “PEANUT, YOU CAN GET SOME PROTEIN TOO! 2019”, 07/09/2019

Tomomitsu Matsunaga replaces Higuchi at the Chiba show.

DDT “CAMPSITE PRO WRESTLING 2019 ~THE PROMISED NATURE LAND~”, 08/09/2019
Yamanashi Natureland Om

1. Falls Count Anywhere 5 Way 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Yukio Sakaguchi & Antonio Honda Vs Konosuke Takeshita, MAO & Yuki Ueno Vs Shuichiro Katsumura, Ken Ohka & Keisuke Ishii Vs Isami Kodaka, FUMA & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Yuna Manase, Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa

Sadly this means Higuchi will be missing the campsite match as well. Yukio Sakaguchi replaces him here. Also SAGAT is sick with the flu so he is being substituted with Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi.

BASARA “BASARA 105 ~THE 2nd FOX PRINCE~”, 14/09/2019
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Ryota Nakatsu & Akiyori Takizawa Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Masato Kamino

Takato Nakano approached Sento Minzoku asking for a UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles shot. He gathered together Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano to be his partners.

Hopefully SAGAT will be well again in time for his Last Man Standing match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “KFC 2 DAYS ’19 ~TEMPLE OF THE SUN~”, 15/09/2019
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Nodoka Tenma Vs Himawari Unagi Vs Pom Harajuku
2. Yuki Aino & YUMI Vs Raku & Mahiro Kiryu
3. Rika Tatsumi Vs Suzume
4. Miyu Yamashita Vs Mirai Maiumi
5. Miu Watanabe Vs Hikari Noa
6. Natsumi Maki, Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki Vs Yuna Manase, Maki Itoh & Mina Shirakawa
7. Sakisama Vs Yuki Kamifuku
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Misao

With the new 2nd Gen belt over her shoulder, Shoko Nakajima is now even more motivated to defend the Princess Title. Her next challenger is the wrestler who has by far progressed the most among the roster this year, Misao. Ever since Misao shed her superhero persona and joined NEO Biishiki-gun she has gone from strength to strength.

I wonder if Sakisama holds a grudge with Yuki Kamifuku over her attempt to join NEO Biishiki-gun last year? Kamifuku joined the unit as an apprentice last May then quit after two weeks when she figured out it was a bad fit for her.

Miu Watanabe Vs Hikari Noa is a match to watch out for. The two members of the Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) have developed so much in the ring this year and part of the reason why is they branched out to other tag teams outside of their unit (Momoiro Sparkling for Watanabe and Pandemic Boo-Boo for Noa). Gotta be honest here, I think Raku is in danger of never catching up to them.

DDT “DRAMATIC SAINT INN☆ONISAN 2019”, 16/09/2019

4. Cody Hall & Antonio Honda Vs Makoto Oishi & Yukio Naya
5. Mizuki Watase Marunage Match ~ Advent Of God!! Falls Count Anywhere In Kurashiki Hardcore 6-Man Tag Match: Mizuki Watase, MAO & Asuka Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Kazusada Higuchi & Shunma Katsumata
6. DAMNATION Vs ALL OUT!: Soma Takao & Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Konosuke Takeshita & Akito
7. Kurashiki Specialty Beauty Area Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie Vs HARASHIMA, Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura

HARASHIMA and Tetsuya Endo continue their feud. The danger here is they could do so much damage to each other that there won’t be much left for Jiro Kuroshio to deal with at the end of the month.

No word yet on who will replace Higuchi in the Marunage match.

Gota Ihashi gets his Oretachi Pro Wrestling buddies into the opener.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “KFC 2 DAYS ’19 ~DESERT MOON~”, 16/09/2019

6. Shoko Nakajima & Mizuki Vs Dalys & Nodoka Tenma
7. International Princess Title: Natsumi Maki (c) Vs Yuna Manase

Natsumi Maki and Yuna Manase kind of have a sisterly relationship going back to their early years in Actwres girl’Z (am I allowed to mention that place?). Manase pinned Maki in Maki’s first match since becoming the International Princess Champion so obviously Manase gets the first shot.

CMLL luchadora Dalys makes her Tokyo Joshi debut. The 10 year veteran from Panama is being thrown right into the top card mix.

5. Daisuke Sasaki & Tetsuya Endo Vs MAO & Asuka

7. Omuta Specialty! The Moon Came Out The Moon Came Out! Barisugo Special 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Akito & Yuto Aijima Vs HARASHIMA, Yuki Ueno & Yukio Sakaguchi

I guess Higuchi is missing the heavyweight 3 Way too.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE MOUNTAIN TOP 2019 ~I WILL NOT LOSE TO ANYONE~” Results

September 1, 2019

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE MOUNTAIN TOP 2019 ~I WILL NOT LOSE TO ANYONE~”, 01/09/2019
Osaka Edion Arena #2
417 Fans

1. Mirai Maiumi defeated Suzume with a Lariat (5:28).
2. Himawari Unagi & YUMI defeated Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Unagi submitted Harajuku with the Big Fuhen Hold (9:04).
3. Miyu Yamashita & Miu Watanabe defeated Gisele Shaw & Yuki Kamifuku when Yamashita pinned Kamifuku with the Attitude Adjustment (12:08).
4. Yuna Manase, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Natsumi Maki, Hikari Noa & Raku when Manase pinned Maki with a Lariat (10:13).
5. Su Yung defeated Maki Itoh with the Panic Switch (10:11).
6. Sakisama, Misao & Martha (w/ Yukio Saint Laurent) defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Rika Tatsumi & Antonio Honda when Misao pinned Tatsumi with the Vanitas (15:16).
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) defeated Mizuki with the Diving Senton (16:44).
*V2 for Shoko Nakajima.

For the second year in a row the Tokyo Princess Cup winner has failed to win their Princess Title challenge. The champion Shoko Nakajima appeared with the original TOKYO Princess Title belt and was given the new 2nd Gen Princess Title belt after defeating Mizuki. The match took a lot out of the wrestlers. Nakajima couldn’t hold her pinning posture after hitting the Northern Lights Suplex. She was able to keep control and pinned Mizuki with the Diving Senton. In her backstage interview, Mizuki admitted that she is not the kind of person who wants to be a main character yet this past summer she overcame many challenges. So she was in fact motivated to become the main character. It was a hard summer for her but she still had fun.

When Nakajima received the new belt she said it felt like she just won a championship for the first time again. She wants to continue winning matches so she can get familiar with holding the belt. Misao came out and congratulated Nakajima, then gave her condolences because today will be the last time Nakajima successfully defends the title. Misao already has the Princess Tag Titles but that is not enough to satisfy her. Nakajima accepted her challenge. She ended the show by saying Osaka has been invaded by the Big Kaiju. She next wants to invade all of Japan!

The entire active members of NEO Biishiki-gun were victorious over the trio of Yuka Sakazaki, Rika Tatsumi & Antonio Honda. The maid Martha used her mop as a weapon and Yukio Saint Laurent used his injections to knock out Honda & Sakazaki. Tatsumi continued to fight on her own but Misao pinned her with the Vanitas. Sakisama credited her presence in Osaka as the reason why the Hanshin Tigers won their baseball game today.

Gotta give it to Maki Itoh, she was just as determined to scare Su Yung with her screams as Yung was trying to scare her. Their screams together were enough to scare away Daisuke Kiso. Yung blinded Itoh with Red Mist but Itoh tried to fight on by applying a Sleeper Hold. Yung countered it by lifting Itoh onto her shoulders to do the Panic Switch for the win.

After last week’s career high, Natsumi Maki was sent crashing back down to Earth when Yuna Manase pinned her in a trios match. Manase used a Lariat to counter the Backlash. They talked about their history together and how they are like sisters. That led to Manase challenging Maki for the International Princess Title. Maki accepted and said she won a championship within four years of wrestling while Manase hasn’t won any title in seven.

Momoiro Sparkling bounced back from their failed Princess Tag Titles match last week by beating Gisele Shaw & Yuki Kamifuku. Shaw is still looking for a way to avenge her defeat in England to Miyu Yamashita.

The hometown hero Himawari Unagi picked up the win in her tag match.

Mirai Maiumi won her first singles match by beating the other rookie Suzume. Maiumi entered the ring with a Japanese fishing flag with a good fortune written on it. She explained that she grew up near the ocean and her ring name also contains the kanji for “Sea” (海 / umi). She wants to express the feeling of the ocean when she wrestles.

8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Misao (c) defeated Miyu Yamashita & Miu Watanabe when Misao pinned Watanabe with the Vanitas (17:25).
*V2 for NEO Biishiki-gun.

NEO Biishiki-gun continue to reign as the Princess Tag Team Champions. The new Momoiro Sparkling team worked well together but the gap between them and the champions was too wide for them to handle. The history between Miyu Yamashita and Sakisama came back to the spotlight when they were in the ring together while Misao enjoyed torturing Miu Watanabe. The challengers had their moment to shine when Watanabe gave Sakisama a Giant Swing then put Misao in the Canadian Backbreaker. Yamashita then jumped off the top rope and hit a Diving Knee to Misao while she was still in the hold. However NEO Biishiki-gun used a 3D to get rid of Yamashita and Misao got the pin on Watanabe with the Vanitas.

Sakisama told Misao that the path she chose was the right one. Misao agreed. She hated this world until she found Sakisama and won the tag titles with her. Together they are searching for a new landscape to create a new strong, noble and beautiful world. Sakisama & Misao were joined in the ring by Martha and Yukio Saint Laurent to close out the show. Sakisama reminded everyone that the four of them will be fighting together in Osaka on 1st September.

The first International Princess Champion has been crowned and it is Natsumi Maki! She won a hard fought battle against Gisele Shaw to earn the honour. Shaw almost won with a Spanish Fly from the top rope. However when Shaw went to climb the turnbuckles again Maki threw her off with German Suplex. Another German Suplex came shortly afterwards to give Maki the victory. Maki said she has been waiting for a moment like this for so long that she still doesn’t believe it is happening. Since it is an international championship, she hopes to go abroad to defend it. She also mentioned Miyu Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki and Maki Itoh as opponents she wants to defend against. Whatever it takes to make the championship valuable!

The debuting Suzume was thrown straight into the fire when the first person she faced off with was Shoko Nakajima! She got to hit a Diving Cross Body to Nakajima thanks to a Lariat set up for Mirai Maiumi. However Riho got in and hit Suzume with the 619. From there Nakajima did the Rider Kick and went for the Northern Lights Suplex. Suzume fought out of it but Nakajima dropped her with a Double Arm DDT then finished her off with the Northern Lights. Suzume appreciated the cheers from the crowd but she felt so overwhelmed by her opponents that she couldn’t do anything against them. Nakajima & Riho were happy to team up as the Twin Cam Monsters after a long time away from each other. Riho mentioned she will be busy wrestling in Stardom but she would like to wrestle in Tokyo Josho Pro again when the chance comes. She wants to continue what she has built with Nakajima.

The rivalry between Maki Itoh and Mizuki was brought back to the foreground with their latest match. Itoh quickly went for the World’s Cutest Knuckle Punch but Mizuki escaped. The two fought outside where Itoh grabbed a microphone and used the cord to strangle Mizuki against the ring post! Itoh even asked “Who is the cutest in the world” on the microphone while she was choking Mizuki. Back in the ring the two scrambled for submission holds from the Face Lock to the Itoh Special. Itoh used a Headbutt to block a Cross Body but Mizuki then beat her down with Elbow Strikes. Mizuki hit the Diving Double Stomp but did not go for the pin. Itoh struggle to get up and when Mizuki approached her, she stuck out the middle finger. Mizuki pushed her hand away and hit the Cutie Special for the win.

After the match Itoh cried into the microphone. She said she wanted to be in the leading role this summer. She now realises that Mizuki is in that leading role, not her. Itoh will now play the supporting role for Mizuki because that way she will still have an influence on how the big story plays out.

Yuka Sakazaki Vs Su Yung promised to be a chaotic match and delivered. Sakazaki quickly fled the ring when made her entrance. She went over to Tetsuya Koda and took his shoes and socks to defend herself with. Yung caught up with Sakazaki and they fought around the room. Sakazaki placed Yung flat on a table and slid her down the stairs. She then put Yung through the table with the Magical Girl Splash from the entrance gate. She threw Yung back into the ring but Yung kicked out of the pin. Yung spat Poison Mist and Sakazaki but she had her face protected from getting blinded. Yung went for the Mandible Claw so Sakazaki did the same move with Koda’s sock covering her hand. The two claws were thrown into Daisuke Kiso’s face, knocking him out. Yung and Sakazaki then applied the claws to each other at the same time, knocking each other out. Yukinori Matsui came down to replace Kiso and he called the match off because everyone was unconscious.

Yuna Manase, Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa are now being called Cat’s Pye. Shirakawa even created a rap song for the three of them to enter the ring to. Their new unit went off to a successful start with a win over Rika Tatsumi, Nodoka Tenma & Raku.

Himawari Unagi has been using the Big Fuhen Hold for a while but today was the first time she won a match with it.

The show began with Yuki Aino defeated Hikari Noa. It took a Side Suplex, a Full Nelson style Camel Clutch and then the Venus DDT for the finish. Noa said she is doing everything she can but she is getting angry at herself for her irresponsible nature. She will use today’s result as a way to take a proper look at herself. Aino is happy to win matches on her own with the level of power she has now.

Tokyo Joshi will return to Korakuen Hall on 4th January, 2020.

260 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

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

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

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

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

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

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

There is a big Osaka show for Tokyo Joshi Pro coming up in September so today’s visit to the area was to build up anticipation for that date. After the main event Shoko Nakajima said she is looking forward to September but right now in the summertime she is getting stronger. They have two big shows coming up in Korakuen Hall and Osaka Edion Arena #2 which is making Nakajima feel ambitious.

Sakisama mocked her opponents after Match #5 and announced that her young maid Martha will return for a match on the 1st September Osaka show. Rika Tatsumi heard this, entered the ring and called Martha an old drunk. This offended Sakisama and she demanded that NEO Biishiki-gun face Tatsumi & Yuka Sakazaki in a match. Tatsumi agreed but said since it is currently 3 Vs 2 she will bring in a special person to even the odds and make it a trios match.

Today was the first time Miyu Yamashita & Miu Watanabe teamed together for a regular tag match after their challenge for the Princess Tag Team Titles was accepted. Things are working out well so far with some double team moves established and a victory under their belts. However before their title match happens, Watanabe asked Yamashita for a singles match together. She wants to understand Yamashita at her full strength so they can become a better team afterwards.

Some of Su Yung’s upcoming matches in Tokyo Joshi were announced. She faces Yuka Sakazaki on 25th August in Korakuen and then has a match with Maki Itoh in Osaka on 1st September.

The rookie Izumi will have her debut match on 1st September. She & Mirai Maiumi will take on Shoko Nakajima & Riho. It’s the return of the Twin Cam Monsters!

Isami Kodaka won the vacant UWA World Trios Titles with Sento Minzoku a few days ago when Big Japan decided to revive the championships. He is now extra motivated to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles so he can be a Triple Crown champion along with the BJW belts. Together he, Kodaka and Fuminori Abe are called Aiseki Hidakaya.

Sanshiro Takagi tore a right pec and also muscles in his right arm during his match a few days ago. He will be unable to wrestle during Beer Garden week and has been replaced in the matches already announced. In an unfortunate coincidence Takagi’s cousin Francoise☆Takagi also suffered the same injury during her own activities over the weekend so she cannot wrestle either. She will be replaced by her sister Francoise☆Ihashi but will still be in attendance to support her team.

MAO replaces Gota Ihashi in the sumo tournament. No reason has been given.

The following items are allowed to be used in the Natsu Party Death Match: pool rings, float rings, water guns, water balloons and summer related items like watermelons. It’s pretty much a water fight.

“The Gatekeeper From Hell” Demonio Uno will appear on the show. It is an old gimmick from IWA Japan that used to wrestle whenever IWA held shows in Tsurumi and similar venues. Uno had a tag team partner called Demonio Dos and they held the IWA Tag Team Titles together. Only Uno is being advertised for the show.

Natsumi Maki and YUMI will not be on the show due to family related circumstances.

For his Marunage match, Kazuki Hirata put together a 3 On 2 Handicap bout with some kindhearted friends to get the advantage over Takagi & Toru Owashi. However as per the stipulation from the Osaka match two week’s ago, Hirata is being forced to hitchhike his way from Tokyo to Hiroshima on the day of this show. If he cannot get to the venue on time then the match will change into a regular tag with Takagi & Owashi facing Kenshin Chikano & Rey Paloma.

1. Pokotan Marunage Match: Chair Vs Chair (Special Referee: Pokotan)

It is literally a chair fighting another chair. If that’s not enough to get you excited, Pokotan also came up with a backstory. In the year 199X the world has been destroyed by nuclear flames! The sea is dead, the earth has been ripped open and all forms of life have become extinct. But the chairs still live! The two chairs fighting each other come from the same family and have two other brothers. One of them was excommunicated. The eldest chair Zao is the strongest but the third son Zagi will fight it for a final decisive battle! It’s Fist Of The North Star as seen through the eyes of a pro wrestling mascot!

DDT “IT IS DRAMATIC YEAH 2019”, 18/08/2019
Aichi Nagoya City Kashiwajima Sports Center

1. Shunma Katsumata Marunage Match – Toy Block Hardcore Match: Shunma Katsumata Vs MAO

No need to tell the Lego people, it’s already been sorted. This was supposed to be a Lego Block Death Match but was quickly corrected to a Toy Block Death Match. Unfortunately for Shunma Katsumata the exact wording of the match has backfired on him. MAO used to play with concrete blocks from an early age. It was his favorite educational toy and made him the intelligent man he is today. That means concrete blocks are allowed to be used in the match! Katsumata is trying to protest the rules because he only wanted Lego involved. If he can’t change it then he’ll try to get MAO banned from Twitter like Chris Brookes. Either way, MAO’s going to smash him with a brick.

Before Mizuki fights for the Princess Title, she has to battle Maki Itoh first. She’s beaten her before but always stayed supportive of her and the Itoh Respect Army. But now the unit is done and Itoh wants to advance even if it means trampling over her former partner!

The match order is not official yet. Three or four more matches will be added.

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

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

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

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

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

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