Shibuya Deseo
140 Fans – No Vacancy

1. KANNA Vs Shoko Nakajima ended in a Time Limit Draw (3:00).

Miyu Yamashita countered Chikage Kiba’s Cross Kneelock into a Penalty Kick to win the match and strengthen her claim that she is the ace of Tokyo Joshi Pro. However, she thinks she will have to beat Kiba and KANNA more times to cement her status. Kiba thought her defeat was “hella frustrating” and wants a rematch.

KANNA was a second away from submitting Shoko Nakajima with a Boston Crab, but time ran out. The debuting Nakajima felt she was only wrestling at 1%. She promises next time she will fight at 100%.

The next Tokyo Joshi Pro preview event will take place on 11th July, again in Shibuya Deseo.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE FOURTH MEETING”, 06/06/2013
Shibuya Deseo

1. KANNA Vs Shoko Nakajima
2. Miyu Yamashita Vs Chikage Kiba

After defeating KANNA at the last event, Chikage Kiba wants to become the ace of Tokyo Joshi Pro by beating Miyu Yamashita. Miyu is currently undefeated with a record of two wins and one draw.

Shoko Nakajima is the newest trainee for Tokyo Joshi Pro. Nakajima is from Niigata and was born on 19th July, 1991. She is 147cm high, has blood type A, likes theatre and comedy and is nicknamed Nakaji. Nakajima only began watching live wrestling a while ago and was inspired to become one because she enjoys to perform in front of an audience. Although she is new to wrestling, her father is a fan so she aims to be like her father’s favourite wrestler Chaparrita ASARI. Her debut match against KANNA will only be a three minute exhibition bout and she may change her name and ring gear when she has her first official match.

4. Yumehito Imanari Vs Osamu Namiguchi
5. Gachinko Cement Match: Ken Ohka Vs Brian Cannon

Brian Cannon confronted Ken Ohka again to demand a rematch from the first Ganbare☆Wrestling event. However the stakes have been raised by making the rematch a Gachinko Cement Match. The two will fight on a mat placed on top of cement blocks. Cannon’s fandom of Jushin Liger is getting stronger as he now wears a homemade Liger costume underneath his suit.

Ganbare☆Wrestling is beginning to look like an island of misfit toys. Two failed trainees from other promotions have come into Ken Ohka’s promotion. Shinichiro Tominaga, the promising Union rookie from 2011 who quit the promotion after suffering a fractured forearm is back. His opponent Tomohiro Otani was invited to wrestle here by his friend Yumehito Imanari. Otani was a trainee for SMASH but never got anywhere due to “feeling broken.” Ganbare☆Wrestling is offering the two wrestlers a chance to redeem themselves.

3. DDT Extreme Title – Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: Kenny Omega (c) Vs A.YAZAWA

While Kenny Omega is busy wrestling around Europe and North America, he mailed a letter to DDT naming his next challenger for the DDT Extreme Title. In order to increase the value of the belt, there is one man Omega really wants to fight. That man is Antonio Honda. Honda was honoured to be chosen but turned down the match, claiming he is suffering from chronic love sickness. The good news is Honda knows the perfect guy to take his place, A.YAZAWA! That’s not all, the match will be a Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match!

Team Dream Futures get a shot at the KO-D Tag Team Titles at this show. Both Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie are looking forward to the match. Ishii has wanted to defeat HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano for months now but HARASHIMA’s recent injury put a stop to that plan. Now that HARASHIMA is back, Ishii gets his chance to destroy Ura-Shima-Kudo. Shigehiro Irie could be going into his home city as the KO-D Champion and is motivated to become a double champion. HARASHIMA feels he has become stronger from healing his injury and wants to crush the challengers.


Last Man Standing, Nazo Fukumen, Masayuki Car Accident, Tokyo Women’s Wrestling 2nd Preview

February 25, 2013

DDT “KO-D OPENWEIGHT TITLE ONE MATCH BOX OFFICE”, 28/02/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

KO-D Openweight Title – Last Man Standing Match: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Michael Nakazawa

The friendship between Kenny Omega and Michael Nakazawa has turned sour over the KO-D Championship. Omega offered Nakazawa the title shot in the hopes to show the world that his buddy can be a serious wrestler. Nakazawa accepted but kept to his sleazy ways, low blowing Kenny and embarrassing him at Korakuen Hall. Then yesterday at Shin-Kiba 1st RING, Nakazawa went through a gauntlet of 7 wrestlers to prepare himself. He lost to every single one of them. Then Kenny low blowed him partly for payback but also to try and convince Nakazawa to take their title match seriously. He’ll have to because this one match show on Thursday will be fought under Last Man Standing rules. DDT will be using the rule where you have to pin your opponent for the three count before the referee can begin counting to ten.

UNION “MARCH OF THE UNION 2013”, 10/03/2013
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai Vs Nazo Fukumen A & Nazo Fukumen B

Two mysteriously masked people have invaded Union. The anonymous man and woman are both being referred to as Nazo Fukumen. They kidnapped Jun Kasai and held him hostage at the end of “GOOD FORTUNE DEMONS 2013”. Their demand was to get booked in Union. Naomi Susan apparently recognises who they are and gave in to their demands without any resistance. The Nazo Fukumen are going to face Kasai and Hiroshi Fukuda in a tag team match.

Kengo Ohka, Madoka, Kaori Yoneyama & Gabaiji-chan will also appear on the show. Yoneyama is currently busy designing the brand new championship to be introduced into Union soon. Mitomi Masayuki was supposed to make his Union debut but that has been put off after he fractured his left ankle in a car accident. He will be out of action for at least the entire month of March.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2013”, 20/03/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal:
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

Shigehiro Irie won the tournament yesterday to earn this title shot. While a possible rematch with Kenny Omega looks likely, the wrestling world can take a strange twist and have Michael Nakazawa win the KO-D Title and defend it against Irie instead.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE SECOND MEETING”, 25/03/2013
