TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 IN SHINAGAWA VOL. 1”, 17/05/2025
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX
335 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yuki Aino defeated Ivy Steele with the Venus DDT (6:37).
2. Pom Harajuku defeated Chika Nanase with the Pom de Justice (6:49).
3. Maki Itoh defeated Uta Takami with the Itoh Deluxe (10:57).
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Raku defeated Rika Tatsumi & Haruna Neko when Kamifuku pinned Neko with the Famouser (9:27).
5. Mizuki, Wakana Uehara & Mifu Ashida defeated Miu Watanabe, Mahiro Kiryu & Kira Summer when Mizuki pinned Summer with the Diving Foot Stomp (10:08).
6. Shoko Nakajima & Kaya Toribami defeated Yuki Arai & Moka Miyamoto when Toribami pinned Miyamoto with the Sento Choryu (11:30).
7. Yoshiko Hasegawa, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro when Hasegawa submitted Kazashiro with the Muffler Hold (13:00).

Yoshiko Hasegawa said she was able to win the main event thanks to the wrestlers she was teaming with. But next time she will have to fight alone when she challenges Suzume for the International Princess Title. That match happens on 31st May at Shino Suzuki’s homecoming show so she told her they have both have to win there. She wants to see her juniors live selfishly like she is right now. HIMAWARI later said she wants to keep winning too so she can challenge for the IP Title again. Backstage Suzume said she could feel the sincerity coming from Hasegawa and it is firing her up for the title match.

The four year anniversary of Kaya Toribami’s pro wrestling debut is coming up soon. She was introduced to Tokyo Joshi Pro by Shoko Nakajima and while she had fun wrestling on the undercards, she never considered herself as someone who could challenge her seniors for championships. But recently her feelings about that changed and she now wants to have a passionate title match with Nakajima where she can fight her heart out! Nakajima asked which of her two championships does Toribami want to fight her for and she picked the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title because she wants a singles match with Nakajima in particular. Nakajima said she understands Toribami’s abilities better than anyone and then explained she needs this championship to keep going back to America. The title is also a magical belt that can make dreams come true. It can transform a small Japanese girl into a giant monster that can shock the world! Toribami understood and promised to go beyond her potential to try and take it from her. The title match will take place on 7th June, the first day of Toribami’s fifth year as a pro wrestler. Backstage Nakajima approved of what Toribami did today because she normally doesn’t stand out much. She thinks it would do Toribami some good if she stood out more.

The new ring announcer and replacement for Sayuri Namba was properly introduced to everybody for the first time after being revealed on a Youtube video yesterday. Rise Shirai will begin her new role on the 24th May show acting as Namba’s apprentice for one month. The apprenticeship will last up until Namba’s graduation in June.

It’s approaching that time of the year when DDT continues to establish a promotional show at Shinjuku Takashimaya to attract shoppers to the building. It is a short show but there will be little segments going on in between the matches. One of them will be a talk event with Saki Akai as the special guest.

DDT “THAT’S RIGHT! LET’S GO TO BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2025”, 03/06/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Referee Daisuke Kiso 15th Anniversary Match ~Special 6-Man Tag Match~: MAZADA, Minoru Fujta & Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Yasu Urano, Akito & Shoko Nakajima

For 15 years Daisuke Kiso has been doing his best to officiate the chaos and nonsense that happens in DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro rings. To celebrate he is gathering together six wrestlers who all mean a lot to him in some way for a 6-Man Tag Match. According to Kiso, MAZADA taught him the foundations of the wrestling world while Minoru Fujita once faced him in them middle of the crossroads between wrestling and life. Yasu Urano has already pointed him down the right path and Akito has been incredibly helpful to him ever since they started working together. Since TJPW means so much to him too he picked Shoko Nakajima to be in the match because she always puts her life on the line for the company. Last but not least he wants to be a part of Yoshiko Hasegawa’s retirement road and do everything he can to help her even if it’s just this little bit.

DDT “MY LOVE LETTER 2025”, 07/06/2025
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX

1. Antonio Honda 20th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Antonio Honda

Another important milestone happening this year is Antonio Honda’s 20th anniversary. Chris Brookes asked him if he wanted to do an entire show to celebrate it. Honda considered it would be suitable for a Baka Gaijin + Friends sized show but he doesn’t have the desire to run an event himself. Brookes then asked Honda who he would like his opponent to be and he answered maybe Daisuke Sasaki. Word eventually made its way to DDT and they went and booked the match just for him. He is grateful for it.

DDT “D GENERATIONS 3 ~ACCELERATING BATTLE, UNSTOPPABLE AMBITION~”, 12/06/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Keisuke Ishii Vs Yuya Koroku
2. Special Tag Match: Shigehiro Irie & Shota Vs Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi

So far the D GENERATIONS shows have seen the home side getting beaten and humiliated by the Young Communication wrestlers. For the third show the Young Generation are now thinking about taking the entire series over for themselves. Can’t blame Shota, Shigehiro Irie and Keisuke Ishii for acting that way if Takeshi Masada, Kazuma Sumi and Yuya Koroku can’t beat them.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 IN SHINAGAWA VOL. 1”, 17/05/2025
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX

1. 3 Way Match: Pom Harajuku Vs Mahiro Kiryu Vs Chika Nanase
2. Yuki Aino Vs Ivy Steele
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Raku Vs Rika Tatsumi & Haruna Neko
4. Mizuki, Wakana Uehara & Mifu Ashida Vs Miu Watanabe, Toga & Kira Summer

6. Maki Itoh Vs Uta Takami
7. Suzume, Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki

The singles match between Maki Itoh and Uta Takami is going to mean a lot to Takami. She tweeted about the time she was a trainee and took an Elbow Strike from Itoh for the first time. She would never forget the pain. Then when Takami got to wrestle Itoh for the first time back in January she hit her with an Elbow Strike using all of her heart. However Itoh hit back with an Elbow Strike using all of her soul. They then had a singles match at the Garafes show in March where Takami felt like she couldn’t do anything against Itoh. It was the most depressed she ever felt so with this rematch coming up she is going to put all of her soul into it.

The two current holders of Asian championships are teaming up on this show. Yuki Kamifuku recently lost the VPW Women’s Title but still has the Queen Of Asia Title in her possession while Raku is currently the SETUP All Asia Women’s Champion.

Hyper Misao is still out of action with the right hand injury she suffered last week.

6. Road To KING OF DDT 2025 FINAL!! Special 4 Way Match: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Yuki Ueno Vs KANON Vs Hideki Okatani

There will be a big preview of the semi finals taking place just a few days before. The final four will be pitted against each other in a 4 Way Match.

More Beer Garden inspired silliness is happening on the show. Kazuma Sumi only needs a 1 Count Pinfall to beat Jun Akiyama while Akiyama will follow the usual rules. There will also be a match where speaking in English for any reason is prohibited!

“HEISEI’S PRO WRESTLING MASTERMIND – KATSUJI NAGASHIMA’S FINAL MOVE! IKEBUKURO ROOFTOP WRESTLING”, 24/05/2025
Tokyo Yodobashi HD Ikebukuro Building Special Rooftop Venue

1. GLEAT Offer Match: Katsuhiko Nakajima & El Lindaman Vs Minoru Tanaka & Yumehito Imanari
2. DDT Offer Final nWJ Match: Ken Ohka, Yukio Nay & Soma Takao (w/ Sanshiro Takagi) Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Yuya Koroku & Kazuma Sumi

A special memorial show for the late Katsuji Nagashima will be taking place later this month. DDT, New Japan, GLEAT and Ganbare☆Pro along with the Battle News website will hold the show at the rooftop of the Yodobashi HD Ikebukuro Building in Tokyo to pay tribute to the Heisei era’s pro wrestling mastermind who passed away back in February. Admission to the event is free although visitors are encouraged to leave a donation at the reception desk with all of the funds minus the minimum expenses being donated to his widow.

The DDT match of the show will be the final match for New World Japan, the nWo Japan parody that Sanshiro Takagi put together in 2012 that included Nagashima as the unit’s backer. The GLEAT match includes Katsuhiko Nakajima who had his debut match in Wrestle Japan, the company that Nagashima helped launch after he left NJPW. The other wrestlers in the match El Lindaman, Minoru Tanaka and Yumehito Imanari also had connections with Nagashima when he was alive.

Yuji Nagata will be at the event as one of the guests for a talk show segment being held in between the two matches. Also former AKB48 idol Chisato Nakata will be the special ring announcer for the event. She was a radio host with Nakajima for over two years on a show called Avalanche Brainbuster Radio.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2025 FINAL!!”, 25/05/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. 4 Way Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Kazuki Hirata Vs Akito & Yuya Koroku Vs Toru Owashi & Yuki Ishida Vs Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Yukio Naya & Daichi Sato Vs Shinya Aoki, Shunma Katsumata & To-y

6. King Of DDT 2025 – Semi Final: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Yuki Ueno
7. King Of DDT 2025 – Final: X Vs X

So how are the semi finals shaking out? Kazusada Higuchi and Yuki Ueno are both trying to climb back to the top of DDT. Higuchi’s run has been presenting him as being completely recovered from his injuries while Ueno has a specific vision of DDT in mind that he feels only he can lead. Meanwhile KANON has a grudge match with Hideki Okatani. It was Okatani who helped DAMNATION T.A kick KANON out of the unit as his replacement and the new mean streak has served him well ever since. KANON found a new path to change the error of his ways but a chance at revenge might briefly turn him back into a psychopath.

DDT “NAGOYA FIGHT FEVER 2025”, 01/06/2025
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference

1. Akito Vs Yuya Koroku
2. Thank You Toru Owashi ~ Toru Owashi 20th Anniversary Of DDT Participation Series Vol. 3: Toru Owashi Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata

Nagoya sees Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida joining together as a tag team for the first time since Yoshimura’s return from injury. Their opponents are the Smile Squash tag team of HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAMS! VOL. 12 ~GIVE IT TO THE CLOUDS THE MOUNTAIN CUCKOO~”, 17/05/2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SAYURI NAMBA’S DREAM COME TRUE SPECIAL”, 14/06/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Special Rounds Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs Hideki “Shrek” Sekine
2. LEONA Vs Antonio Honda
3. Mizuki & Suzume (w/ Sayuri Namba) Vs X & X

This will not be your normal Tokyo Joshi Pro show. Sayuri Namba’s in charge before she leaves the company and she is using her powers to do things she always wanted but never got the chance to. One is to do the ring announcements for a LEONA match because the two have known each other going back to their university days. LEONA’s opponent has now been chosen and it is Antonio Honda.

Another thing Namba wants is to be a ring girl one more time. TJPW doesn’t really do round based combat sports so after some out of the box thinking the company decided to make Kazuki Hirata fight against the jacked up hybrid fighter Hideki “Shrek” Sekine. He will become maybe the most unlikley looking wrestler to ever get booked by TJPW. He also doesn’t know who Hirata is but will be happy to beat him up. Is Hirata even going to last past the first round?

7. New Year’s Six Great Singles Match: Takeshi Masada defeated Yuki Iino with an Inside Cradle (8:48).
8. New Year’s Six Great Singles Match: Chris Brookes Vs To-y ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).

The Fan Appreciation show was built around six singles matches pitting veterans against some of the young entrants in the upcoming D GENERATIONS CUP tournament. The matches only had a ten minute time limit and it ended up with two of the matches going to a draw. The main event was one of those matches with To-y lasting long enough not to be beaten by Chris Brookes. However Brookes told him after the match it will be Takeshi Masada who will win the tournament and face Brookes for the KO-D Openweight Title, not To-y (Masada scored the only upset win today by beating Yuki Iino). In a burst of emotion To-y called Brookes selfish and promised when he wins the tournament he will challenge Brookes and kill him for the title!

The other time limit draw came from Yuya Koroku fighting the far more experienced Jun Akiyama. In the final minute of the match he kicked out of both the Exploder Suplex and an exposed Running Knee Strike. Akiyama smiled at Koroku after the match and praised him for his efforts.

Akito suggested to make Yukio Naya the official substitute for Kazuki Hirata because they love the same anime shows (Steins;Gate, Re:Zero and Attack On Titan). He quickly regretted the idea when Naya immediately won the match instead of losing like Hirata does. They restarted the match and this time Naya behaved more like Hirata does. He wore the ring announcer’s glasses for the dance spot and also used the Miracle One Shot Cradle to get the win. Akito came to the conclusion that it’s just not the same without Hirata around and he hopes he comes back soon. Everyone then suddenly heard Hirata’s voice telling them they finally realised how important he is!

Hirata’s music played and he came down to the ring on crutches to give everyone an announcement. He will be recovered in time for him to hold a special show celebrating the 15th Anniversary of his debut in March at Shinjuku FACE! He later explained his injury was first diagnosed as a torn ACL. He then got a second opinion at a bigger hospital, was told his ACL was fine and he would be able to wrestle again once the swelling goes away. He reckons he will be back in action at the end of February. He was never able to celebrate his 10th Anniversary because of the pandemic so this 15th Anniversary show will let him do what he couldn’t do five years ago.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 5TH “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT” Results

January 19, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 5TH “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT”, 19/01/2025
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX
223 Fans

1. Miu Watanabe defeated Kira Summer with the Canadian Backbreaker (6:18).
2. Miyu Yamashita defeated Ivy Steele with the Attitude Adjustment (6:57).
3. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Arisu Endo and Chika Nanase when Tatsumi pinned Nanase with the Twist Of Fate (7:14).
4. Mizuki, Jada Stone & Uta Takami defeated Suzume, Moka Miyamoto & Mifu Ashida when Stone pinned Suzume with the Spark Stunner (9:02).
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko when Kamifuku pinned Kiryu with the Famouser (11:25).
6. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki defeated Haru Kazashiro & Toga when HIMAWARI submitted Toga with the Half Crab Hold (12:43).
7. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku defeated Yuki Aino & Raku when Harajuku pinned Raku after the Cho Pom Throw (11:57).
8. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami when Nakajima pinned Toribami with the Diving Senton (17:15).

It looks like Hyper Misao was on to something. Yesterday she wondered if the key to Kyoraku Kyomei finally winning the Max Heart Tournament was to give up something that is important to her. She gave away her spray can and proceeded to win her 1st Round match. So today she did the same thing and handed a bag filled with her weapons over to Yukinori Matsui to show she would fight fair and square. However this time she hid a small spray can in her costume and used it to blind Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami before the match began. Kyoraku Kyomei then tried to win via countout by tying Hasegawa & Toribami together back to back with Misao’s cloak. The other team were able to get back in the ring and fight back until Shoko Nakajima wiped out Toribami with a Topé Suicida. Misao hit Hasegawa with the Kingslayer followed by the Hypami Returns. Nakajima then finished her off with the Diving Senton to send Kyoraku Kyomei to the semi-finals again. Nakajima said afterwards she thought her team were the overwhelming favorites to win and their ultimate goal now is to crush 121000000. Misao said they’re now reaching a boiling point because it’s their fifth Max Heart Tournament and they still haven’t won it yet. They originally formed Kyoraku Kyomei to have fun tag matches but it’s no fun if they can’t win!

The Love Triangle were pitted against each other with Yuki Aino & Raku’s entry into the tournament. The brackets set them up to go against Pompaler in the 2nd Round. Their game plan was to invite their opponents for a nap in the middle of the ring. It didn’t work because Max The Impaler decided it was better to throw Pom Harajuku at them over and over instead. Raku lured Max away from the ring to chase her up to the balcony and then back down. She also tried to sing Max to sleep with a lullaby but it didn’t work. Harajuku knocked Aino down with the P Attack while Max got their hands on Raku for a Body Slam. Max then picked up Max in a Fireman’s Carry, climbed up the second rope and then Press Slammed her onto Raku. That counted as a pinfall and Harajuku was able to pin Raku for the victory. Harajuku didn’t know what happened other than everytime it looks like Max wants to help her, they throw her around instead. Raku thought the love between her and Aino would have been enough to beat a mismatched pair like Pompaler but she was proven wrong. She is also starting to feel like the only person who isn’t achieving anything. Aino assures her that isn’t true and she was really cool today.

Only one of the teams who received a bye past the 1st Round was able to win their match today. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki defeated their generation classmates Haru Kazashiro & Toga to advance to the final four. Toga was unable to use the Rock Bottom on HIMAWARI. Instead HIMAWARI got her with the Princess Drop and applied the Half Crab Hold until Toga gave up. Suzuki said they left it all in the ring today and that was why they won. HIMAWARI agreed they were more motivated than usual and now they get to fight Kyoraku Kyomei in the semi final. It’s a big wall to climb but Suzuki wants to continue teaming with HIMAWARI forever. Toga is disappointed to have lost but still thinks she and Kazashiro have both grown together as a team. Kazashiro said she is cherishing the present while also thinking about the future so she hopes this won’t be the end of their team. Toga suggested they can go get stronger as individuals and then team up again for next year’s tournament.

Fans were quick to notice that Toyo Mates were not teaming together for this year’s tournament. So wouldn’t you know it they ended up being opponents in the 2nd Round! Mahiro Kiryu went to shake Yuki Kamifuku’s hand before the match began but she was ignored. While Haruna Neko and Wakana Uehara had time to fight, the match came down to Kiryu against Kamifuku. Kiryu gave her the Spinebuster but Uehara broke the pin. Neko gave Uehara the Nekodebreaker to give Kiryu another chance to get the win but Kamifuku fired back with the Famouser to rescue victory from the jaws of defeat. She then shook Kiryu’s hand after the match. When she found out Kiryu & Neko gave themselves the team name Nekonchu she got annoyed by how bad the name is because Kiryu isn’t a catgirl. But Kamifuku has moved on to teaming with Uehara and having a “Ayase Town Hills New Hills” style with her. She told Uehara they will have to beat Pompaler in the semi finals because it is their job.

Jada Stone finished her first tour with Tokyo Joshi Pro with a pinfall win over Suzume! After pinning her with the Spark Stunner, Stone made the signal to her that she wants a shot at the International Princess Title. Stone told reporters that Suzume is one of the reasons she decided to go wrestle in TJPW. It feels like a dream that she is three wins for three in Japan and says “Jada In Japan” can continue on 8th February if Suzume is not a chicken. When Suzume heard about the challenge for 8th February she agreed to have the title match at Korakuen Hall so she can become an even stronger champion.

Rika Tatsumi called herself the God of 3 Way Matches and ordered her two opponents to fight each other so the winner would fight her next. However Arisu Endo and Chika Nanase decided to fight her straight away. Endo later gave Nanase the Ju no Okite and Tatsumi stole the win away from her with a Hip Attack to Endo followed by the Twist Of Fate to Nanase.

DDT “THE FORTUNE BATTLE 2025” Results

January 18, 2025

DDT “THE FORTUNE BATTLE 2025”, 18/01/2025
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. HARASHIMA, Akito, Yuki Iino & Daichi Sato defeated Daisuke Sasaki, KANON, MJ Paul & Ilusion when HARASHIMA pinned Paul with the Somato (12:57).
2. A Match To Remember Kazuki Hirata ~ Scramble Bunkhouse Glasses Rules: Toru Owashi & Soma Takao defeated Danshoku Dieno & Yuki Ishida when Takao pinned Ishida with the Perfect Driver onto the Glasses (9:35).
3. Special Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura defeated Yukio Naya & Yuya Koroku when Nakamura pinned Koroku with the Modified Crucifix Pin (10:12).
4. Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: Yuki Ueno defeated A.YAZAWA with a Miracle One Shot Cradle (11:12).
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & To-y (c) defeated Yuni & Kazuma Sumi when MAO pinned Sumi with the Ultra Big Tone (21:09).
*V1 for The 37KAMIINA.
6. Special Tag Match: Shuji Ishikawa & Jun Akiyama defeated Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada when Ishikawa pinned Masada with the Splash Mountain (18:45).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Tetsu Inada defeated Poison Sawada JULIE by Pinfall (7:41 pm).
*Tetsu Inada becomes the 1,708th champion.

Shuji Ishikawa appreciated getting help from Jun Akiyama to beat SCHADENFREUDE International in the main event. Antonio Honda actually distracted the referee so Chris Brookes could attack Ishikawa with a chairshot to the head. However Ishikawa hit back with a Headbutt to Brookes while the chair was still wrapped around his neck. He then went on to pin Takeshi Masada with the Splash Mountain. As much as Ishikawa would like to celebrate the win with some karaoke, he told the fans he will wait until he wins the KO-D Openweight Title on 26th January. Honda motivated Brookes by telling him he can overcome anything, just like how Honda overcame his lovesickness today to make to the venue in time to try and help him.

When MAO recently used AI to predict how a match between himself and Kazuma Sumi would turn out, it said he would win using a mystery move called the Ultra Big Tone. Today MAO figured out what that move is and he successfully used it on Sumi to defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles! The Ultra Big Tone starts off as a Lifting Reverse DDT and flips over into a Sitout Facebuster. This is all done from jumping off the second rope too. He praised Sumi & Yuni for being tough challengers while being so young. He heard the ultimate goal for NωA Jr. is to someday perform as idols at the Tokyo Dome. He will cheer them on to reach that goal because the previous NωA never could. While they go do that, he will try his best to bring DDT back to Budokan Hall! Meanwhile To-y said the match gave him a taste of what to expect from the D GENERATIONS CUP. He will chew up the competition there before going back to defending the KO-D Tag Titles again.

As mentioned earlier, Honda was dealing with a bout of lovesickness throughout the day that delayed him from making the show until the main event. His scheduled match with Yuki Ueno had to change into something else. Ueno was now put into a Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match against his new opponent A.YAZAWA! The two wrestlers danced along to music while fighting and Ueno unexpectedly powered himself up by putting on a pair of Hirata GO! glasses! With these glasses he quickly learned how to do the Miracle One Shot Cradle and he used the move to beat YAZAWA.

Keigo Nakamura really wanted to test himself against Yuya Koroku even when his tag partner Shinya Aoki had Koroku beaten with the Full Nelson Hold. Nakamura called out to him and demanded to be tagged in. Aoki recluctantly agreed. That idea almost backfired when Koroku put Nakamura in the Chickenwing Arm Lock. But Nakamura was able to counter it with a Crucifix Pin to get the three count. Aoki admitted to Nakamura he thought they were going to lose the match after he tagged in Nakamura and he was only able to win by a fluke. Nakamura argued he didn’t make any mistake because they ended up winning instead.

Hirata was certainly missed by the wrestlers today. His absence due to injury made some of them so sad that Hisaya Imabayashi decided to turn one of the matches into a tribute for him. Match #2 was turned into a Bunkhouse Scramble Death Match with a pair of Hirata GO! glasses placed in the middle of the ring for everyone to fight over. However everybody fought while ignoring the glasses which made the GM angry. Soma Takao eventually picked up the glasses but used them to stab Danshoku Dieno in the backside. Soma didn’t want to wear them at that point so he decided instead to give Yuki Ishida the Perfect Driver onto them to win.

After beating DAMNATION T.A in the opening bout, HARASHIMA said backstage he would like to challenge them for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. He’ll need to find two wrestlers to team with first, which shouldn’t be difficult for him.

The show ended with an unexpected appearance from Poison Sawada JULIE. He came to the venue today annoyed that nobody has come to challenge him for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. His annoyance only grew backstage when several DDT wrestlers declined to fight him because they were busy with other things so Sawada went out to ringside at the end of the show. Sanshiro Takagi and Imabayashi both confronted him but he fought them off using his Snake Magic. Then suddenly the voice actor Tetsu Inada pulled out a mirror and deflected the magic back at Sawada, knocking him out into a petrified state. Inada then pinned Sanada to win the Iron Man Title and Imabayashi ushered him away from ringside. Inada told reporters backstage it was always his dream as a child to become a pro wrestler and win a cool looking championship. He understands the terrifying threat that comes with this title and called out for any voice actors? to come challenge him should they ever see him in the studio!

Before the show began, Dieno held a public contract signing for the DDT Extreme Title match against Gorgeous Matsuno on 26th January. Matsuno was not present for the signing but the two had already agreed to the stipulation. It will be a Life’s Sparkle Match where only a 1 Count Pinfall is needed to win.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 5TH “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT” Results

January 18, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 5TH “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT”, 18/01/2025
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX
284 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Yuki Aino, Raku & Moka Miyamoto defeated Rika Tatsumi, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko when Raku submitted Neko with the Front Neck Lock (10:39).
2. Miyu Yamashita & Yoshiko Hasegawa defeated Yuki Arai & Shino Suzuki when Hasegawa submitted Suzuki with the Muffler Hold (8:28).
3. Jada Stone & Kaya Toribami defeated Mizuki & HIMAWARI when Stone pinned HIMAWARI with the Spark Stunner (11:01).
4. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Haru Kazashiro & Toga defeated Ivy Steele & Kira Summer when Kazashiro pinned Summer with the Fisherman Suplex (9:02).
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Mifu Ashida & Chika Nanase when Misao submitted Nanase with the Chickenwing Face Lock (11:25).
6. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku defeated Miu Watanabe & Uta Takami when Max pinned Takami with the Piledriver (9:17).
7. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Uehara submitted Endo with the Banana Pillow (11:48).

In a shocking start to the Max Heart Tournament, last year’s winners Daisy Monkey are out in the 1st Round! Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara sounds like a makeshift team on the surface but it’s a pairing Uehara has wanted after fighting Kamifuku in America last year. Her idea is already paying off with an upset win over one of the tournament favorites. Kamifuku dealt with Suzume by giving her a Big Boot while Uehara trapped Arisu Endo in the Banana Pillow until Endo tapped out. Kamifuku always heard the women from Ebina, Kanagawa were strong and stubborn. Today she saw it with her own eyes from Uehara’s performance. Uehara thought they were unlucky to draw last year’s winners but she’s really happy her team was able to win. Kamifuku is confident they will make it past the 2nd round tomorrow because their opponents Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko are both weaklings.

Well, Max The Impaler killed a teenager. Or at the very least cut down her height by a few centimetres. Uta Takami was scared to fight them but pulled up the courage to do so. As much as Miu Watanabe encouraged her to fight Max head on she eventually saw sense to join in and help her out. Max meanwhile continued to use Pom Harajuku as a projectile against the other team. They took out Watanabe with the Wasteland War Justice and Max then pinned Takami with a Piledriver. They then took one of Takami’s hair accessories as a trophy for their victory. Watanabe blamed Sayrui Namba for putting this match together with her lottery draw. She also said one day Takami will become bigger and more powerful than Max so she should do her best to get there. Tomorrow Pompaler will face Yuki Aino & Raku which means Max is going to be thrown into the Love Triangle.

As the only remaining team left to have competed in every Max Heart Tournament, Kyoraku Kyomei began their match telling everyone that means they have suffered more in the competition than anyone else. They will not drop their guard down or take any opponent lightly. However Hyper Misao thinks the key for them to finally win the tournament is to give up something important to her. She handed her spray can to Daisuke Kiso and promised not to use it so she can win fair and square. Kyoraku Kyomei lived up to their word by beating Mifu Ashida & Chika Nanase clean. Shoko Nakajima held Ashida in the Unmanned Local Train Hold while Misao made Nanase submit to her Chickenwing Face Lock. Tomorrow they will take on Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami to continue their long quest to finally end this struggle. Ashida meanwhile said the match felt like she was baptised by Tokyo Joshi Pro. She’s still a rookie but thinks she has the guts and competitive spirit to match those two veterans.

The opening match of the tournament pitted the two finalists from last year’s Next Generation Tournament against an alliance between British and Austalian wrestlers. Haru Kazashiro & Toga showed how well they had become as a team by swapping wristbands with each other. They were also able to outmanoeuvre Ivy Steele & Kira Summer with their tactics, ending with Kazashiro beating Summer with the Fisherman Suplex. Next up for the pair is HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki in the 2nd Round tomorrow. Toga remembers she beat HIMAWARI in the Next Gen Tournament but also lost to Suzuki at the end of last year. She’s confident her team has an 80% chance of winning. Kazashiro wants to show her next opponents just how strong she has gotten lately. Summer is disappointed she won’t be getting to team more with Steele in the tournament. Steele described getting hit by Toga’s Elbow Smash was like getting hit with a bat.

It was confirmed during the show opening introductions that the winners of the Max Heart Tournament will receive a Princess Tag Team Titles shot at “GRAND PRINCESS ’25” on 16th March. It will be the next Tag Title bout after the 121000000 Vs Pandora & Sara Phoenix match happening in Chile on 9th February.
