TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND 2019 ~OPPORTUNITY IS THERE~” Results

May 3, 2019

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND 2019 ~OPPORTUNITY IS THERE~”, 03/05/2019
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,110 Fans – Super No Vacancy

2. Mirai Maiumi Debut Match: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated YUMI & Mirai Maiumi when Tenma pinned Maiumi with the Killswitch (9:58).

4. Reika Saiki & Marika Kobashi defeated Riho & Raku when Saiki pinned Raku with the Jackhammer (10:02).
5. Special Single Match: Aja Kong defeated Maki Itoh with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (10:47).
6. Sakisama & Misao defeated Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe when Misao pinned Tatsumi with the Vanitas (11:47).
7. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) defeated Natsumi Maki & Hikari Noa when Sakazaki pinned Noa with the Magical Magical Girl Splash (13:11).
*V6 for The Magical Sugar Rabbits.
8. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima defeated Miyu Yamashita (c) with the Locomotion Northern Lights Suplex (17:57).
*Miyu Yamashita fails in V11. Shoko Nakajima becomes the 6th TOKYO Princess Of Princess Champion!

Shoko Nakajima has become the Big Kaiju of Tokyo Joshi Pro! She toughed it out to end Miyu Yamashita’s dominant reign as the TOKYO Princess Champion, taking all that the champ could throw at her. The end came when Yamashita went for the Crash Rabbit Heat but Nakajima caught her with the Northern Lights Suplex. Then Nakajima rolled it through to do another Northern Lights for the three count.

When the match ended Nakajima said Yamashita is the best ace but now it is her who has the belt. However Nakajima doesn’t feel like she has the belt at all. She feels she needs to defend it a lot from now on so it will truly become hers. Thunder Rosa then came out to greet the new champion. Rosa said congratulations to the “Little Kaiju” then challenged her to a title match in Sapporo on Monday. When she called Nakajima a “Little Kaiju” Nakajima shouted “Big Kaiju!” back at her and accepted the challenge.

Pandemic Boo-Boo got their second shot at the TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles but still couldn’t beat The Magical Sugar Rabbits. The combination of the Cutie Special, Magical Merry-Go-Round and the Magical Magical Girl Splash earned the champions their 6th defence. Yuka Sakazaki said afterwards that the belts feel heavier after every defence. She wanted to go celebrate with hamburgers when NEO Biishiki-gun interrupted her speech. Sakisama scoffed at the idea of eating burgers then turned her attention over to Mizuki. She thinks Mizuki looks pure white next to Sakazaki but if she becomes part of Sakiama’s collection she will shine even brighter. Misao tried to convince Mizuki to join NEO Biishiki-gun and listed all of the positive things that happened to herself since she joined. For example Misao’s hair has grown naturally and beautifully. Also her knee injury that hampered her previous life has become fully healed. It sounds like they are challenging the champions for a title match but it’s not. That’s because NEO Biishiki-gun are always the ones who accepts challenges, not make them. The Sugar Rabbits said they won’t let Sakisama get what she wants!

Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe’s mission to turn Misao back into Hyper Misao was a big failure. They showed her a poster of Hyper Misao to jog her memories but Misao ripped the poster apart. With no other option Tatsumi had to wrestle Misao. She almost had her beat with the Dragon Sleeper but Sakisama broke the hold. Sakisama kicked Watanabe away with an Apron PK while Misao pinned Tatsumi with the Vanitas. Tatsumi still thinks Hyper Misao is still sleeping somwhere in her heart but Misao felt very cold. Watanabe also took shots at Sakisama, saying it’s not beautiful to make a fool out of other people.

Aja Kong said she’d give Maki Itoh ten minutes of her time and she lived up to her promise. Heck, she even got an extra 47 seconds out of it! Rumours were going around that Itoh’s head is tougher than Kong’s steel cans. It looked that way at points but when Itoh hit the Flying Big Head, Kong kicked out at one. It wasn’t long before Kong had Itoh beaten but Itoh got to stick her middle finger in Kong’s face before taking defeat. And after too. Itoh then got on the microphone afterwards and said the loss won’t effect her because she represents the Reiwa Era and she will never lose!

Marika Kobashi ends her current run with Tokyo Joshi on the winners side with Reika Saiki. Raku did well teaming with Riho but ultimately fell to Saiki’s power.

Thunder Rosa was just as concerned with trying to out-sexy Yuki Kamifuku as she was trying to out-wrestle her. Kamifuku hit the Fame Asser but Rosa was able to reach the ropes. She then blocked Kamifuku’s Brainbuster and hit the Reinella Splash to win.

The debut of Mirai Maiumi turned out to be a big occasion because the first Tiger Mask, Satoru Sayama was there in person to present her with an encouragement award before the match. Maiumi wants to be a power based wrestler and tried to beat Nodoka Tenma with a Reverse Lariat. Tenma instead caught Maiumi in the Killswitch to end the rookie’s first match with a loss.

Yuna Manase & Himawari Unagi did what works for them most when they team together and that’s smothering their opponent’s faces with their chests. Doing that to Pom Harajuku allowed Manase to pin her with the Suzuki Dynamic afterwards.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “DAI TOKYO JOSHI PRO WRESTLING FESTIVAL 2019” Results

May 2, 2019

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “DAI TOKYO JOSHI PRO WRESTLING FESTIVAL 2019”, 02/05/2019
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
180 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Nodoka Tenma defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the WAR Special (8:15).
2. Thunder Rosa defeated Mina Shirakawa with the Thunder Driver (6:46).
3. Yuna Manase & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Yuki Aino & Miu Watanabe when Manase pinned Aino with the Suzuki Dynamic (9:24).

Not much to talk about the matches themselves but the contract signings that took place before them gave the girls plenty of chances to give some final words before tomorrow’s big show in Korakuen Hall.

After getting knocked out a few days ago, Shoko Nakajima has learned not to take Miyu Yamashita even the slightest bit lightly. In return Yamashita has realised the chances of beating Nakajima the same way twice in a row is unlikely.

Pandemic Boo-Boo have promised to show their gratitude towards the TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles for as long as people support them. The Magical Sugar Rabbits are as ambitious as ever and feel invincible when they team together.

Rika Tatsumi has a lot to handle mentally tomorrow. Not only is she fighting to turn Misao back into Hyper Misao but she has fought Sakisama and NEO Biishiki-gun plenty of times before. Miu Watanabe thinks it is more beautiful to team with a person like Tatsumi instead of Sakisama. Misao made the signing even tenser when she poured water over Watanabe’s head. Sakisama joked that she ordered Misao to water the weeds.

Aja Kong wasn’t in attendance so Maki Itoh took the opportunity to have the spotlight all to herself. She said she will crush Kong because she doesn’t see Kong as a legend, just another wrestler. There is talk going around that Itoh’s head is tougher than Kong’s steel can.

With Hikaru Shida completing the team, Saki Akai is now ready to challenge the Sendai Girls. Shida wrestles in Sendai Girls herself so she is very familiar with Meiko Satomura, Chihiro Hashimoto & DASH Chisako. The one who wants to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles the most is Asuka because she wants to wear the title belts like an accessory. The way the team is laid out has Akai as the leader, Asuka as the sub-leader and Shida as the “New Member”.

DDT “BLACK OUT PRESENTS KING OF DDT 2019 THE FINAL!!”, 19/05/2019
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. King Of DDT 2019 – Semi Final: X Vs X
2. King Of DDT 2019 – Semi Final: X Vs X
3. King Of DDT 2019 – Final: X Vs X

The official news update for this show is Maku Donaruto will be there! The unofficial news is Keisuke Ishii wants to cash in his Right To Challenge Gauntlet on this show so he can face Endo for the KO-D Title. Due to the new rules that are meant to encourage surprise cash ins, DDT is currently in a position where they cannot promote Endo Vs Ishii for now and have to act like it won’t be happening.

DDT “GOLDEN DDT THEATER 2019”, 25/05/2019
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: Antonio Honda (c) Vs Akito

Something that Antonio Honda and Akito have in common is they both think their biggest career highlight involved the DDT Extreme Title. So it’s fitting the two will fight over it.

DDT “WRESTLE MATSUYAMANIA 2019”, 02/06/2019
Ehime World Trade Center

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao (c) Vs Kazuki Hirata & Maku Donaruto
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Yukio Sakaguchi

During a press conference yesterday Endo was supposed to select one of the seven losers in the King Of DDT 1st Round to defend the KO-D Title against. However he struggled to remember any of the wrestlers he could choose from. Hisaya Imabayashi listed the names and Endo commented after each one. Kota Umeda? He’s the guy who always hurts his knees. MAO? He’s a fucked up bad guy. Mike Bailey? He’s that guy who can’t do anything without MAO. HARASHIMA? Endo hates him. Kazuki Hirata? Endo would choose him but Hirata is already wrestling for a championship at the show. Yuki Ueno? He was thrown away by his friend. Yukio Sakaguchi? Beaten by Daisuke Sasaki and he won’t stop crying about it.

What Endo didn’t realise was that Sakaguchi was in the building and overheard Endo’s comments. He crashed the press conference and attacked Endo, beating him down! Sakaguchi used Endo’s “Two types of people in the world” motto against him and said he is now on his kill list! When Sakaguchi stormed out of the room, Endo demanded that he be his opponent for the KO-D Title match! This won’t be a pro wrestling match, Endo says he will kill Sakaguchi!

April 29, 2019

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HEISEI 31 YEARS “AH” IT’S BUSY!”, 29/04/2019
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
260 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Haruna Neko & Pom Harajuku when Kamifuku pinned Harajuku with the Fame Asser (7:39).
2. Mina Shirakawa defeated Raku with the Implant DDT (7:25).
3. Natsumi Maki & Hikari Noa defeated Yuna Manase & Himawari Unagi when Noa pinned Unagi with the Uranage (11:38).
4. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Yuki Aino & Thunder Rosa when Mizuki pinned Aino with the Cutie Special (15:05).
5. Sakisama & Misao defeated Nodoka Tenma & YUMI when Sakisama submitted YUMI with the YSL (11:11).
6. Miyu Yamashita, Reika Saiki & Marika Kobashi defeated Shoko Nakajima, Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe by TKO when Yamashita knocked out Nakajima with the Backspin Kick (14:05).

Four days before the big TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title match and the champion has knocked out the challenger! Miyu Yamashita avoided Shoko Nakajima’s Northern Lights Suplex late in the main event. From there she wore down her opponent with a Sleeper Hold and dealt kicks and knee strikes until a Backspin Kick knocked knocked Nakajima’s lights out. Yamashita didn’t have much to say after the match other than to thank everyone for coming to the last Tokyo Joshi Pro show of the Heisei era. She warned in her post-match interview that the Princess Title cannot be won with only feelings. She also proved that she doesn’t need to pin Nakajima to beat her. Knocking her out works just as well.

Sakisama is now using a Straightjacket Choke called the YSL. That has to be a shoutout to Yukio Saint Laurent.

The debuting Thunder Rosa had a fun experience for her first Tokyo Joshi match. She got into a small dance battle with Mizuki and got greeted by the others in English at the start. Rosa is used to wrestling in tag matches but even she admits The Magical Sugar Rabbits are fast in the ring.

Nine months after her debut wrestling match, Mina Shirakawa now has her first singles victory. This is the next step in her big dream to wrestle abroad more often.

Kazusada Higuchi was missing from this past weekend’s shows because of an infection. He has been given permission from his doctor to take part in tomorrow’s Shuten-dōji farewell show.

Poison Sawada JULIE and one of his creations Hoshihebi have been added to the tag gauntlet. JULIE warns everyone that he will burn down Shinjuku FACE with glowing lotus flames!

Kazuhiko Ogasawara has a left knee injury and will be unable to wrestle. Gorgeous Matsuno will now have a mystery partner for the tag gauntlet.

BASARA “BASARA 94 ~BANQUET~”, 23/04/2019
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Daiki Shimomura & Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Naoki Tanizaki & Akiyori Takizawa
2. Takumi Tsukamoto, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Yasu Urano Vs Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Jun Masaoka

For years now Gouma Ryu and Banana Senga have been rivals in the court. They get along when they are away from the criminal justice system so let’s see how they work as a tag team.

Jun Masaoka doesn’t want to get along with anybody but he is pretty much a part of the current BASARA rookie generation. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino have been teaming together anyway. A third partner for them wouldn’t hurt.

DDT “SOUKEN HOLDINGS PRESENTS MAX BUMP 2019”, 28/04/2019

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Makoto Oishi

For his first KO-D Openweight Title defence, Tetsuya Endo has chosen Makoto Oishi to be his opponent because he is guaranteed to beat him. That was proven over the weekend when Endo submitted Oishi in the main event of Sunday’s show. Oishi thinks he has a chance because he could outsmart Endo with his wrestling knowledge. Endo thinks he has everything in his arsenal to beat Oishi anyway no matter how Oishi uses his head when they wrestle.

There is a lot of craziness surrounding the KO-D Tag Team Titles match. Konosuke Takeshita challenged the new champions DAMNATION because he wants to get revenge for losing the KO-D Title to Daisuke Sasaki in New York. The Moonlight Express want to get their rematch because they are the former champions. Newcomers Ricky Starks & Mike Rollins saw an opportunity to get involved in the title picture and also want to be in the match. So we are getting a 4 Way Match for the belts. Now there is a new bump in the road for ALL OUT because it was announced today that Shunma Katsumata is out of action for an undetermined amount of time with a left ankle injury.

The mascot Pokotan wrestles in a DDT ring for the first time since its debut at “JUDGEMENT 2019”.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND 2019 ~OPPORTUNITY IS THERE~”, 03/05/2019
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Reika Saiki & Marika Kobashi Vs Riho & Raku
2. Sakisama & Misao Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe
3. Special Single Match: Aja Kong Vs Maki Itoh
4. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Natsumi Maki & Hikari Noa
5. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima

With 10 defences under her belt and two championships over her shoulders, Miyu Yamashita has been looking mighty unbeatable lately. Yuka Sakazaki has been the same and both of them have more overseas bookings they’re looking forward too. Sadly for Shoko Nakajima when it comes to the most established power trio of Tokyo Joshi she’s been feeling left out. Well no more! Nakajima has challenged Yamashita for the TOKYO Princess Title at Korakuen Hall. Will Anguirus topple Godzilla?

Misao is constantly telling everyone that Hyper Misao is dead and never coming back. Rika Tatsumi doesn’t believe her and is willing to fight her to prove the superhero is still alive in there somewhere. Miu Watanabe has been constantly fighting and losing to NEO Biishiki-gun ever since Misao joined the unit. With the Up Up Girls now down one member and her other partners currently taking separate paths, she gets another chance to stand up to Sakisama.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SPRING TOUR ’19 ~ READY SET, GO!”, 13/04/2019
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
250 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Rika Tatsumi & Haruna Neko defeated Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Tatsumi submitted Kiryu with the Dragon Sleeper (8:57).
2. Reika Saiki defeated YUMI with the Tower Bridge (7:20).
3. Natsumi Maki & Hikari Noa defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa when Maki pinned Shirakawa with the Backlash (7:41).
4. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Yuna Manase & Himawari Unagi when Sakazaki pinned Unagi with a Missile Kick (12:02).
5. Sakisama & Misao defeated Miu Watanabe & Raku when Misao pinned Watanabe with the Vanitas (14:09).
6. Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima & Marika Kobashi defeated Maki Itoh, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino when Nakajima pinned Aino with a Frankensteiner (14:46).

A High Kick from Miyu Yamashita to Yuki Aino gave Shoko Nakajima the opening to pin Aino with a Frankensteiner. She congratulated Yamashita on becoming a double champion but asked when she would next defend the TOKYO Princess Title because she wants a shot! Yamashita silently agreed to it and left Nakajima in the ring. Nakajima said Yamashita is like Godzilla and Yuka Sakazaki is like Mothra. This makes Nakajima feel like Anguirus (the kaiju that came after Godzilla and is kind of forgotten about). On 3rd May at Korakuen Hall, Nakajima will face Yamashita and this time Anguirus will win!

Misao is now using a Reverse Tiger Driver which she has named Vanitas. She ran down the Up Up Girls on the microphone, telling them their hard work, sweat, tears and friendship are all meaningless. Rika Tatsumi entered the ring and stood up to Misao. She tried to convince Misao that she is Hyper Misao, the hero that protects love and peace in Tokyo Joshi Pro! Misao denied that and said she executed the weak the same way one would remove weeds from a garden. Tatsumi told Miu Watanabe she will team with her to battle NEO Biishiki-gun on 3rd May.

Marika Kobashi will be taking another break from pro wrestling after 25th May to focus on her education. Her goal is to go to university so she is studying a lot to pass her exams.

6. Yuka Sakazaki, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Miyu Yamashita, Reika Saiki & Marika Kobashi when Sakazaki pinned Kobashi with the Magical Magical Girl Splash (15:32).

Just one day away from the TOKYO Princess Title match and the challenger still won despite conserving her energy. Yuka Sakazaki admitted after the main event that she left most of the match to The Bakuretsu Sisters so she can be fresh and confident for tomorrow. She told the fans that the story hasn’t ended and everyone should look forward to hearing tomorrow’s result.

Yuna Manase was happy to see Misao for the first time in a while, unaware of her change in personality. Manase took out her USA hat and tried to make Misao dance with her. Misao tried to fight off the temptation and Sakisama attacked Manase to stop the dance. After the match Sakisama told Misao it’s a good thing she doesn’t need feelings because it was shameful how she almost fell for Manase’s antics. Misao apologised because weeds are weeds. She thanked Sakisama and said her only fate is to die for her.

It looked like Natsumi Maki and Maki Itoh were going to be on good terms when Maki offered a handshake before their match began. Itoh instead gave her the middle finger. Maki got the last laugh because Itoh missed the Flying Big Head and Maki pinned her with the Backlash. Itoh gave her the middle finger again after the match. When she left, Maki & Hikari Noa called out to Mizuki and asked for another shot at the TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles. Maki & Noa were only a new team when they got their first chance and lost but they have both grown since then.

With graduation/retirement just around the corner, Pinano Pipipipi didn’t hold back for one of her final wrestling matches. She got Shoko Nakajima to drop her guard by telling her how much she likes her, then attacked. Outside the ring on the ramp, Pinano Body Slammed Shoko Nakajima onto the ring apron. Nakajima used the ropes to reverse her fortunes, using it for a modified Neckbreaker as well as her 619s. Pinano tried to roll up Nakajima but it was countered into the Unmanned Local Train Hold for the finish.

Rika Tatsumi trapped both Haruna Neko & Pom Harajuku in a Double Dragon Sleeper to win the Handicap Match.
