February 11, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “POSITIVE CHAIN”, 11/02/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
507 Fans

1. Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko defeated Marika Kobashi & Moka Miyamoto when Harajuku pinned Miyamoto wit the Pom Do Justice (7:11).
2. Yuna Manase, Nao Kakuta & Raku defeated Hikari Noa, Mahiro Kiryu & Sena Shiori when Raku pinned Shiori with the Doctor Yellow (7:25).
3. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Sakazaki pinned Endo with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (12:54).
4. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel when Itoh pinned Saint-Michel with the Flying Big Head (16:54).
5. International Princess Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) defeated Mirai Maiumi with the Diving Fame Asser (9:46).
*V1 for Yuki Kamifuku.
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino (c) defeated Shin Ultra Shoko & Hyper Misao when Aino pinned Shoko with the UBV (13:28).
*V2 for The Bakuretsu Sisters.
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) defeated Miu Watanabe with the Missile Hips (18:18).
*V1 for Rika Tatsumi.

The Daydream showdown marked Rika Tatsumi’s first defence of the Princess Of Princess Title. She survived a Top Rope Canadian Backbreaker Drop from Miu Watanabe then countered the Tear Drop into the Twist Of Fate. From there Tatsumi hit Watanabe with Hip Attacks until she got the pin with the Missile Hips. Tatsumi thought she was going to be too strong for Watanabe but that didn’t happen at all. She thinks that is amazing and thanked Watanabe for fighting her. She will continue to support Watanabe building the bridge between idols and pro wrestling. Tatsumi also has a dream and that is to make Tokyo Joshi Pro bigger. The two of them agreed to continue teaming together as Daydream and they will enter the “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament beginning later this month.

A big battle requires big armour. The Tokyo Joshingers arrived for their Princess Tag Team Titles match wearing new combat suits which left the referee Yukinori Matsui looking confused. The Bakuretsu Sisters tore the armour off to start the match. Yuki Aino cut off Shin Ultra Shoko by pulling her down by her cloak. Shoko freed herself from the cloak and wiped out the Sisters outside the ring with a Suicide Dive. Hyper Misao followed up by throwing a dislodged piece of her Combat Bicycle at them. The challengers had their chance but Aino suddenly countered Shoko’s Northern Lights Suplex into the Venus DDT. She then finished her off with the UBV for the three count. Backstage after the match, Shoko said she will entrust Misao and The Bakuretsu Sisters to protect the world while she returns to the stars. Her month as a superhero has ended and Shoko Nakajima will return. She also wants the Sisters to have her mask while she is gone. Misao is sad to see Shin Ultra Shoko leave already but she still wants to team with Nakajima for the Max Hearts Tournament. Nodoka Tenma promises to win the tournament so everyone will remember The Bakuretsu Sisters as TJPW’s number one tag team.

Sadly for Mirai Maiumi, the Miramare Shock did not happen today. She was all ready for it too with a new look. Yuki Kamifuku had something new of her own to show off, a new entrance song. Kamifuku kicked away Maiumi’s custom steel case made for today’s match and even closed it over her opponent’s head for added insult. Maiumi trapped Kamifuku in the Miramare submission but Kamifuku found ways to get out of it. She ended up winning with two Fame Assers, one from the second rope. Maiumi wonders if Kamifuku delivered her own Miramare Shock before the match even happened. She kept making fun of Maiumi’s rural background and all it did was make Maiumi notice things about her that she never noticed before. Maiumi promises she will deliver the Miramare Shock some day and when she does, everyone will be seeing a new Mirai Maiumi. Kamifuku said was a little worried because her opponent today has a lot more passion for pro wrestling than she does. Mirai watches a lot of famous wrestling matches and copies what she sees. Kamifuku doesn’t want to be a parody so she put more effort into her entire package today so she would win as herself instead of an imitation. She thinks it is better to show your attitude than to talk. A shock happens on its own, it is not something you can force.

The Max Hearts Tournament is on the minds of everyone in TJPW. A lot of the results were signs of intent from the women towards winning the whole thing. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh made their message loud and clear with a big victory over NEO Biishiki-gun. No amount of cheating with roses and silver platters could stop them. Yamashita wiped out Sakisama with the Skull Kick while Itoh pinned Mei Saint-Michel with the Flying Big Head, handing Saint-Michel her first loss in TJPW. Even though Itoh ultimately wants to beat Yamashita someday, she sees they make a good team together. Yamashita agrees. It’s a mystery how their styles are so different but still fit each other. Yamashita is also pleased she won a match against Sakisama. She knows she will beat her in a singles match when the time comes.

The Magical Sugar Rabbits are trying out a new move called the Yukacchi Bomb but they haven’t quite figured it out yet. It involves Mizuki doing a Sunset Flip on Yuka Sakazaki and they both land on top of their opponents to pin them. However the move also does damage to Sakazaki which makes her lift her shoulders and weakens the pinning attempt. Still, Mizuki wants to continue working on the move because it is good for them to keep challenging themselves. It’s a good thing that the experiment didn’t cost them the match because Suzume & Arisu Endo threw everything they had at them. Suzume got Mizuki out of the ring for Endo to finish Sakazaki off. But Sakazaki fought back and got the win with the Magical Merry-Go-Round.

Hikari Noa came out of her match wanting to face Nao Kakuta more often. She also wants a singles match against Yuna Manase. Both Mahiro Kiryu & Sena Shiori were disappointed they’re not at a stong enough level yet to show off their growth to Manase. Raku however was at her happiest. She won the match and got to do it in front of her two “older sisters”. Since Manase is working so hard over in Ganbare☆Pro she keeps thinking she has nothing left to do in TJPW. But there’s more to wrestling than big matches so whenever she can use her connections for a TJPW booking, she’ll look forward to being there.

Last time in Korakuen Hall, the team of Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko lost to Moka Miyamoto. Today they got their win back against her. Neko got rid of Marika Kobashi with the Codebreaker leaving Harajuku to get the win with the Pom Do Justice. The pair want to team up for the Max Hearts Tournament with the team name Harunyan.

TJPW will have a show in for a women only audience at Itabashi Green Hall on 4th April. They originally planned to do the concept a year ago but it had to be cancelled because of the pandemic.

Akiyama Missing January, Shin Ultra Shoko, Takanashi Return Cancelled

January 7, 2021

Tokyo has gone into a state of emergency until February over the Coronavirus. So far several pro wrestling companies have been laying their plans for the period and how it effects their scheduling. For the most part, not much has changed with DDT and their spinoffs. DDT and Ganbare☆Pro will continue with their advertised shows. However the events taking place at night from 12th January onwards will be reviewed according to the guidelines given to them. A bunch of DDT shows are happening outside of Tokyo during this period anyway so that’s kinda how they’re getting away with it. Tokyo Joshi Pro is currently unchanged but do not rule out having to reschedule or cancel shows as the situation changes. BASARA are going on as normal but the Clutch bar in Shinjuku will be closed for the rest of the month.

DDT “GO TO DDT! VOL. 1”, 09/01/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Under Match: Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Hideki Okatani Vs Keigo Nakamura & Toi Kojima
1. Written By Hajime Takahashi & Masaki Inoue “Does Momotaro’s Kibidango Recognize As An Expense?” Infomercial Match: Akito, Kazuki Hirata, Super Sasadango Machine & Antonio Honda Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Danshoku Dieno, Toru Owashi & Saki Akai
2. Chris Brookes & Shunma Katsumura Vs Mad Paulie & Yuji Hino
3. HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya Vs Konosuke Takeshita & MAO

Jun Akiyama will be out of action this month after he got arthroscopic meniscectomy for a left knee meniscus injury. He will be back in the ring on 31st January. All of the January cards have been changed to reflect his absence. First up, Yusuke Okada takes Akiyama’s place this Saturday.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2021 WINTER ~LOVERS~”, 10/01/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

The matches will be revealed during the show.

Yesterday Hyper Misao announced the new name Shoko Nakajima must use for a month. Nakajima is now Shin Ultra Shoko. Misao originally wanted to come up with a more… heroic “Academia” kind of name but Tetsuya Koda wouldn’t allow it for legal reasons. Misao still wanted to add Ultra to the name thinking that Nakajima would like it so she settled with Shin Ultra Shoko. Koda asked if that name was still based on a real superhero property. Misao explained that “Ultra” is on a higher tier than Hyper and “Shin” is because this is a new Shoko so any complaints about copyright infringement do not matter. Shoko is reluctant to take the name because she is a kaiju on the side of justice rather than a superhero. But the world is looking for a hero and she does have heroic qualities. Together Hyper Misao & Shin Ultra Shoko are the Tokyo Joshingers! But they will only team up when there is an emergency that requires superheroes. Shoko had to cover her face for the photo session because superheroes have to hide their real identities.

“MASAHIRO TAKANASHI BOX OFFICE YOPPARAI IS BACK”, 29/01/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Emi Sakura & Yuna Mizumori Vs Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel
2. Masahiro Takanashi Vs Fuminori Abe

This show has been cancelled by Masahiro Takanashi himself in consideration of the recent government guidelines. It was meant to be Takanashi’s return from injury but now there is no date decided for his comeback. He either is getting or has gotten surgery to remove a plate from his left knee and a bolt in his right. However as already mentioned, the cancellation is more because of the pandemic than his recovery timetable.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’21” Results

January 4, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’21”, 04/01/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
683 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Arisu Endo Debut Match: Suzume defeated Arisu Endo with the Ring A Bell (6:39).

6. Miyu Yamashita defeated Maki Itoh by Knockout with the Skull Kick (13:05).
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino (c) defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Tenma pinned Kiryu with the Killswitch (14:34).
*V1 for The Bakuretsu Sisters.
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuka Sakazaki (c) by Referee Stoppage with a Figure 4 Leg Lock (19:22).
*Yuka Sakazaki fails in V5. Rika Tatsumi becomes the 8th Princess Of Princess Champion!

The White Dragon seizes the white crown! Rika Tatsumi was the only active wrestler from year one of Tokyo Joshi Pro to have never won the Princess Of Princess Title. Today she finally became the champion by beating the dominant Yuka Sakazaki. The White Dragon Sleeper was countered into a Cradle nearfall that almost led to Tatsumi’s demise. But fortune was on her side when she rolled out of the way of the Magical Girl Niwatori Yaro. Sakazaki hurt her legs on the landing so Tatsumi used a series of Dragon Screws to set up a Figure 4 Leg Lock. Sakazaki tried to escape but ended up back in the hold and eventually fainted. Daisuke Kiso ruled the match in favour of Tatsumi, making her the new champion!

When Sakazaki recovered she shook Tatsumi’s hand and hugged her. Tatsumi got on the microphone and talked about all the times she challenged for the title and failed. There is a lot going on in the world but she hopes Tokyo Joshi can be a source of hope for everyone just like it is for her. She wants to defend the belt until the day she dies! Miu Watanabe congratulated her Daydream partner and then challenged her for the title. She grew so much from teaming with Tatsumi. This year she wants to surpass her. Tatsumi is happy that Watanabe is her first challenger and she wants the match to happen on the 11th February Korakuen Hall show. Backstage, Tatsumi repeated her goal to defend the belt until she dies. Except she can’t die because dragons are immortal. She’ll live for 100 years and even if she does end up retiring, it will be as the champion. Even then she will continue defending the belt for a century!

The Bakuretsu Sisters defeated Toyo University Tag in their first Princess Tag Team Titles defence. Yuki Aino blocked Yuki Kamifuku’s Fame Asser and held her up for Nodoka Tenma to complete the Bakuretsu Bulldog. Mahiro Kiryu tried to give Tenma the Spinebuster but it was blocked and turned into a Fall Away Slam. Tenma then hit the Killswitch for the pin. The champions were asked if it is more difficult defending the titles than it was winning them? Tenma wants to keep trying and find new ways to challenge herself. Aino said attacks are the best defence.

Coming up with a new move didn’t change a thing for Maki Itoh’s singles record against Miyu Yamashita. She locked in the Itoh Royal after countering the Crash Rabbit Heat but this time Yamashita kicked out of it. Itoh went for the Itoh Deluxe but Yamashita used Headbutts to avoid the move. Itoh Headbutted her back and got knocked down with a High Kick in return. Itoh gave Yamashita the middle finger when she stood back up so she got knocked out with the Skull Kick. Yamashita stuck out her fist to Itoh after the match. Everyone expected Itoh to stick out her middle finger again but she bumped fists instead. Yamashita said she doesn’t know what will happen this year but she would like to wrestle overseas as soon as possible if it is allowed.

To the surprise of no one, NEO Biishiki-gun continues to look down on their opponents. They had Sena Shiori beaten with the Tarte Tatin but Hikari Noa broke the pin. She tried to turn the match around until Sakisama got rid of her with an Apron PK. Mei Saint-Michel then trapped Shiori in the Saint-Michel submission hold to tap her out. Sakisama called today’s win a beautiful victory. Saint-Michel spoke about the Chinese zodiac and told her master this year is the year of the ox. Sakisama doesn’t care because the world is all about her. Saint-Michel then told her she found a restaurant that specializes in cow meat that they should try. It’s called Yoshinoya! Sakisama never heard of it but requested a reservation right away.

Raku convinced Aja Kong to join in the Goodnight Express. That’s the most important thing to know about this match. But give it up to their opponents, they all tried to step up to Kong. Watanabe attempted the Canadian Backbreaker but couldn’t get her up. Kong grabbed her metal can and hit both Watanabe & Nao Kakuta with it. Mirai Maiumi though blocked Kong’s attack and took her down with a Lariat. Mizuki got rid of Maiumi with a Diving Body Attack to the outside but no one was there to stop Watanabe pinning Raku with the Tear Drop.

One year ago, Shoko Nakajima beat Hyper Misao in a match where the loser had to change their name for one month. Revenge is sweet! In the rematch both women were supposed to be connected together with a red and white rope. That proved to be difficult so they tried to wrestle around it. 100 capsules were attached to the top ropes with 10 of them containing prizes. The first person to find two of the prizes will win. The fight degenerated into a ringside brawl, a tug of war, a kaiju toy fight and then just a scramble to find the capsule prizes. They kept finding empty capsule until they both got one a piece. Nakajima went for the 619 but Misao dodged it and tied up her opponent’s arms and legs with the rope. With Misao unable to move, Misao kept opening the remaining capsules until she finally found her second prize to win the match. Misao will announce Nakajima’s new name at the next show. Nakajima tried to protest the result because the rope kept breaking on them. The result stands. Nakajima hopes her new name will be something like Shin Shoko Nakajima instead of something ridiculous.

Yuna Manase stepped in to replace Marika Kobashi on short notice when Kobashi tested positive for the Coronavirus and was pulled from the show on New Year’s Day. Manase was able to take charge and win the match for her and Moka Miyamoto. After her time away, Manase did notice some growth from her opponents. She understands Pom Harajuku has come up with new ways to sneak her kicks on opponents. And Haruna Neko is on the offensive more than ever. Miyamoto was happy to be on the winning side at the start of the year. She will use this as motivation to win her first match by herself.

The debut match for Arisu Endo saw her put Suzume in a Camel Clutch. Suzume used the ropes to give Endo a Facebuster and then hit the Ring A Bell for the victory. Endo said she was nervous before the match but once she stood in the ring she enjoyed being there. She repeated her goal to become energetic and strong like Reika Saiki.

Official TJPW Best Matches Of 2020

Full TJPW Card For 4th January

December 18, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’21”, 04/01/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Marika Kobashi & Moka Miyamoto Vs Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko
2. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
3. Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel Vs Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori
4. Aja Kong, Mizuki & Raku Vs Miu Watanabe, Nao Kakuta & Mirai Maiumi
5. Arisu Endo Debut Match: Suzume Vs Arisu Endo
6. Miyu Yamashita Vs Maki Itoh
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi

The main event has a lot going for it. Yuka Sakazaki and Rika Tatsumi have known each other for years, even before they began training to be pro wrestlers. Seven years ago Sakazaki convinced Tatsumi to go train together so she is a special person in Tatsumi’s life. But for this match Tatsumi sees Sakazaki only as the Princess Of Princess Champion. Tatsumi wants to defeat “The Magical Girl who resembles Fudo Myoo” so she can transform from a White Dragon into a Dragon God!

According to the Toyo University Combo, their bond is more stronger than those between sisters. Yuki Kamifuku thinks she and Mahiro Kiryu are more like clones of the Toyo University founder Inoue Enryo’s daughter! The Bakuretsu Sisters don’t just want to make memories out of their Princess Tag Team Titles reign. They want to defend the belts as much as they can because it took them so long to win them.

Two years ago, Maki Itoh failed to beat Miyu Yamashita in the Ittenyon main event. It was a poor performance that at the time left her traumatized. Now she realizes it was not a setback but valuable experience. When she sticks up her middle finger it is a sign of confidence and determination. Itoh’s middle finger cannot be broken! Yamashita thinks this is a Tokyo Joshi Pro match that can appeal to the world. She’s letting Itoh do the talking now. When they get in the ring Yamashita will show her what she’s really got.

Arisu Endo is a 22 years old from Fukushima and is 150cm tall. She became a pro wrestler because she loves wrestling but is nervous to have her debut match. Endo’s favourite wrestler is Reika Saiki and she wants to become as cool as her. Suzume is looking forward to see what kind of wrestler Endo will be so she is happy to be her debut opponent.

Aja Kong is back! Mizuki is honored to team with her. Raku’s wrestling career is currently three years old. She thinks three year olds still need to take naps so she will do so. Miu Watanabe sees this match as a bridge between idols and pro wrestling. Nao Kakuta’s goal for 2021 is to win a championship so a win here will give her momentum. Mirai Maiumi wants to show the kind of brilliance in Korakuen Hall that only she can.

Sena Shiori has been frustrated by losing to NEO Biishiki-gun over and over since the unit returned and turned their attention to her. There’s nothing she can’t do with Hikari Noa which is why she thinks they can win. Noa is surprised she gets to team with Shiori in Korakuen so quickly. She wants to help her win her first match because it will happen on the first anniversary of Shiori’s debut.

In a rematch from last year’s Ittenyon, Shoko Nakajima and Hyper Misao will face off again. Last time the loser had to change their name for a month. Misao beat Misao and renamed her Akemi Daredasore. Misao has changed her name a few times in her career, even her private one because she recently got married but she hasn’t forgotten about that match. Which is why she wants the same stipulation for the rematch and have it become an annual gimmick for the Ittenyon show! Nakajima accepts the challenge because she has very few things to protect. She believes the more things a person needs to protect, the more weaknesses they have.

The opening match is between the two youngest generations in Tokyo Joshi. Marika Kobashi will be celebrating her 5th anniversary of her debut. Moka Miyamoto thinks she is the exact opposite of Kobashi but they can do their best as a tag team of active college students. Haruna Neko isn’t bothered by who is her juniors or seniors in the match. She just wants to win. Pom Harajuku felt she wasn’t able to work hard in 2020 so she wants to get 2021 off on the right track with a victory.

The live broadcast of the show will have separate streams. ABEMA will host the local broadcast with Haruo Murata and Sayoko Mita on commentary. WRESTLE UNIVERSE will provide live English commentary for the first time with Mark Pickering and Stewart Fulton on the headsets.

November 23, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’20 ~WOMM (WRESTLING OF MY MIND)~”, 23/11/2020
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Nao Kakuta defeated Haruna Neko with the Shiden Kai (6:10).
2. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Miyu Yamashita & Marika Kobashi when Nakajima pinned Kobashi with the Northern Lights Suplex (8:20).
3. Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Moka Miyamoto defeated Maki Iyoh, Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori when Tenma pinned Shiori with a Diving Body Press (14:18).
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Suzume & Mirai Maiumi when Kiryu pinned Maiumi with the Spinebuster (7:32).
5. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Mzuki & Raku when Tatsumi pinned Raku with the Twist Of Fate (13:08).

Rika Tatsumi is taking her time when it comes to Yuka Sakazaki. She has a lot on her mind about their history together heading into 4th January so she will talk about it little by little. When she heard Sakazaki at “WRESTLE PRINCESS” say she will always give it her all because she doesn’t want to lose, that connected with Tatsumi. She’s happy to know they share the same mindset. Tatsumi normally doesn’t like working out and practicing hard but she will begin secret dragon training to prepare for the Ittenyon Princess Of Princess Title match.

Mahiro Kiryu got revenge on Mirai Maiumi for eliminating her in the International Princess Title tournament 1st Round by pinning her in their tag match. Kiryu was frustrated by the loss while still being happy to see Yuki Kamifuku win the vacant title. Now that she won today, Kiryu wants to face Kamifuku for the championship! Kamifuku understands where Kiryu is coming from but she isn’t sure Kiryu is stylish enough to be the same kind of champion she is. Still, she accepted the challenge and asked for it to be an important match they will both improve from. She also decided that the match should happen in Narimasu because that was where they were supposed to team up and fight for a Princess Tag Team Titles shot back in October.

Early in Match #3, Sena Shiori needed to tag out. Maki Itoh wanted to tag in but Shiori ignored her to tag Hikari Noa instead. After those two tagged in back and forth, Itoh got fed up and began attacking Noa and they fought each other on the floor. They eventually got along again when they realised Shiori was left to fight The Bakuretsu Sisters and Moka Miyamoto on her own.

Hyper Misao entered the ring wearing a veil and carrying a bouquet while “Happy Summer Wedding” was playing instead of her normal music. Everyone heard that on Friday she got engaged. Today she announced that on 22nd November she and Takamasa Utashiro got married! Now that she is a wife, Misao wants to repent for her past mistakes and spread happiness to other people. So she will give her bouquet to somebody else she wants to be happy. Marika Kobashi is still a little young so Misao chose Miyu Yamashita. She handed her the bouquet and then it suddenly sprayed water into Yamashita’s face. It was a trap! Yamashita quickly recovered and gave Misao a Soccer Kick. Misao’s tag partner Shoko Nakajima declared their plan a failure and the match went on as normal.

The Shiden Kai used by Nao Kakuta is a Spinning Stunner.

4d. Rika Tatsumi eliminated Shoko Nakajima with the Missile Hips (11:27).
5. Hyper Misao Retirement Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Hyper Misao with the Missile Hips (8:53).

Hyper Misao shocked everyone before the main event by announcing it was going to be her retirement match! Instead of wrestling Super Sasadango Machine as planned, they instead set up “The Yamelorette” to determine Misao’s final opponent. The participants each tried to impress Misao because she wanted to face against somebody she always respected. Miyu Yamashita gave Misao some delicious mentaiko, Shoko Nakajima gave Misao a Mecha Godzilla figure, Miu Watanabe gave Misao a portrait she drew of her, Rika Tatsumi slapped Misao out of anger, The Bakuretsu Sisters sang a song about Misao and finally Sasadango gave advice to Misao about retirement because he retired once before. Everyone then had to say a haiku about Misao and after that she made her decision. She wanted to wrestle her retirement match against Tatsumi and she handed her a piece of green streamer tape.

Tatsumi went on to beat Misao with the Missile Hips. They gave each other a fist bump after the match. Misao then explained what was going on. She said she had thought about her retirement since last year and decided to retire in 2020 after five years as a wrestler. She debuted at 25 years old with no athletic experience and had an injured ACL that she kept secret for a year. She felt she wasn’t fit for pro wrestling but she still liked it and enjoyed being in Tokyo Joshi Pro. Misao thanked Sasadango for helping her set up today’s project but wait, she isn’t done yet! There is something Misao still has to do and that is get married!

Suddenly, Misao invited Takamasa Utashiro from the DDT press team (and previously from Shukan Puroresu magazine) to enter the ring. Turns out they’ve been in a relationship for two years. He had previously wanted to propose to her but waited until the time was right. Since Misao was going to retire today, now would be the time to propose, right? Not so fast! Misao wants to accept the proposal but doesn’t want to quit pro wrestling for it. She asked Utashiro if he would still marry her just the way she is, as Hyper Misao the pro wrestler. Sasadango protested and said this was against totally against “The Yamelorette” rules and would be punished with death. Utashiro knocked down Sasadango and told Misao that the DDT website is already reporting on their engagement! Sasadango congratulated the couple and said he would retweet the message. Utashiro then gave a proper marriage proposal to Misao in the ring. Misao said yes! She apologised to everyone else for a crazy hour where she retired, unretired and got engaged. She promised she will continue to protect love and peace in TJPW, this time as a married wrestler!

Tatsumi had a busy day. Not only was she in Misao’s “retirement” match she also won the 5 Way Survival bout against four other major players in TJPW. Maki Itoh was the first elimination. Everyone else pinned her after she missed the Flying Big Head. Yuka Sakazaki & Shoko Nakajima used their Miraclians teamwork to eliminated Miyu Yamashita. Tatsumi then beat the numbers game to be the last woman standing. Tatsumi called for Sakazaki’s attention after the match. She talked about how both of them became trainees together and before Tatsumi even knew it, Sakazaki was winning championships. Sakazaki, Yamashita and Nakajima got to wrestle abroad and Itoh has a big fanbase overseas too. Those are the names that always get big matches and today they all lost to Tatsumi! She challenged Sakazaki for the Princess Of Princess Title. Sakazaki accepted the challenge and spoke about all the twists and turns they went through together. Normally Shin-Kiba 1st RING would be the most suitable venue due to their history together but she has a better time and place to do the match. They’re going to do it at Korakuen Hall on 4th January!

The newest member of NEO Biishiki-gun was going to be revealed today. Sakisama came out accompanied by the returning Martha. But Martha wasn’t her tag partner. Instead it is a new maid. Sakisama said that one day she was walking in the woods while playing a flute. Her music attracted this little girl and she became immediately attached to Sakisama. So she decided to bring the girl into NEO Biishiki-gun and have Martha train her to become a first class maid. The maid introduced herself as Mei Saint-Michel. She quickly insulted Suzume & Sena Shiori so you can see why Sakisama likes her. Saint-Michel made Shiori submit to an Arm Clutch Crab Hold that is now named after herself. Pleased with the result, Sakisama said she and Saint-Michel will return on 6th December. They’ll be busy all November picking chestnuts.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’20 ~WOMM (WRESTLING OF MY MIND)~” Results

November 14, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’20 ~WOMM (WRESTLING OF MY MIND)~”, 14/11/2020
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Nao Kakuta & Pom Harajuku defeated Shoko Nakajima & Suzume when Kakuta pinned Suzume with the Hawaiian Smasher (10:09).
2. Hyper Misao defeated Moka Miyamoto with a Camel Clutch Chickenwing Facelock (8:21).
3. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Maki Itoh and Mahiro Kiryu when Tatsumi pinned Kiryu with the Twist Of Fate (9:22).
4. Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Mirai Maiumi defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Marika Kobashi & Hikari Noa when Tenma pinned Kobashi with the Killswitch (12:47).
5. Sakisama defeated Sena Shiori with a Triangle Choke (7:37).
6. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Raku defeated Miyu Yamashita, Miu Watanabe & Haruna Neko when Sakazaki pinned Neko with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (13:41).

The show began with an important announcement from Mizuki. She has now officially joined Tokyo Joshi Pro! She’s been wrestling almost exclusively for TJPW since 2017 but she was doing that as a freelancer all that time. Ever since the Tokyo Princess Cup she thought about this decision because she wants to be part of the company. Her goal is to win championships and surpass Yuka Sakazaki. She promised to do her best to spread the name of TJPW. Rika Tatsumi was the first person to congratulate her by giving her a big hug.

Mizuki, Sakazaki & Raku called their trio the Magirabi Express.

Sakisama returned to TJPW because she thinks the fans are missing the excitement that only she can provide. She heard Sena Shiori is nicknamed the Space Ranger. She’d be happy to take in Shiori to her own rocket ship but not yet. Shiori is not mature enough yet to join Sakisama’s side. Instead, Sakisama will be bringing in her own tag partner for a tag match on 20th November. She almost said her partner’s name but stopped herself to keep it a mystery.

Hyper Misao found out that Moka Miyamoto is an active college student. She wanted their match to count as course credit while also teaching a lesson that pro wrestling is not as sweet as university.

The newest addition to the roster Nao Kakuta wrestled in new gear for the occasion. She wanted to leave a strong presence in her first match and did so by picking up the win. She learned a lot about Suzume in the ring and can tell she is taking wrestling seriously. She got a strange feeling of exhilaration from wrestling against Shoko Nakajima. Finally she wants to team with Pom Harajuku again. They don’t have any double team moves or any other kind of cooperation so she wants to know her better.
