TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 11/09/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
155 Fans

1. Pom Harajuku defeated Haruna Neko with the Pom de Justice (8:56).
2. Dalys & Stephanie Vaquer defeated Shoko Nakajima & Moka Miyamoto when Dalys pinned Miyamoto with La Magistral Cradle (11:43).
3. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Pokotan & Demonio Uno when Sakazaki pinned Uno with the Magical Girl Splash (12:28).
4. Miyu Yamashita defeated Arisu Endo with the Skull Kick (14:04).

The 5th “TJPW INSPIRATION” was headlined by Arisu Endo taking on Miyu Yamashita in Endo’s first singles main event. She has yet to win a singles match and this is the toughest route to achieve it. She blocked an Avalanche Attitude Adjustment and used it to hit the Mt. Bandai Dropkick before applying the Camel Clutch. Yamashita reached for the rope break and relied on her kicks to take over the match, finishing Endo off with the Skull Kick. Despite losing, Endo thinks she was able to show she has grown up a little bit. Yamashita said she has high expectations for her but finds it strange how she hasn’t won a singles match yet. It might just be that Endo doesn’t realize how strong she really is.

The Magical Sugar Rabbits have long dreamed for a chance to wrestle mascots of all kinds. They took their first step towards making it come true by fighting DDT’s mascot Pokotan along with Demonio Uno, the monster of Tsurumi’s vegetable market. Yuka Sakazaki and Uno fought out to the parking lot while Mizuki and Pokotan bit each other. Back in the ring Pokotan used its own head as a weapon by hitting the Pokogoye (Kamigoye style Headbutt) to Sakazaki. Mizuki then took Pokotan out of commission by crushing its head with a Diving Double Stomp. Sakazaki was able to take care of Uno from there and got the win with the Magical Merry-Go-Round followed by the Magical Girl Splash. After the match Sakazaki called out to all mascots in Japan. The Magical Sugar Rabbits want to challenge all of them to a fight, especially if they are from Disney!

Dalys made her return to Tokyo Joshi Pro and brought along another luchadora on behalf of CMLL. She & Stephanie Vaquer were victorious against Shoko Nakajima & Moka Miyamoto. Nakajima took out both opponents with a Topé Suicida so it was left to Miyamoto to finish Dalys off. However Dalys caught her with a Modified Back Drop and used La Mistica to pin her. Nakajima was happy to wrestle Dalys again because their previous matches happened before the pandemic. It makes her want to go wrestle in Mexico again. This was Miyamoto’s first match against foreign opponents so she was able to learn how universal pro wrestling truly is.

The opening bout was Pom Harajuku beating Haruna Neko in a match between two wrestlers from the same debut class. They were also both of each other’s opponents for their first wins. Harajuku said Neko has grown into a big cat which gave her some trouble. She tried doing a rope walk but was too afraid so Neko did it to her instead. Harajuku wants to overcome that fear next time. Neko is a little upset because she lost to another classmate Mahiro Kiryu at the last “TJPW INSPIRATION” show. She has seen both of them grow this summer so she is going to try and do the same as a cat.

At the beginning of the show Suzume was given the microphone to talk about her upcoming match against Miu Watanabe on 16th September. The winner will become the No. 1 Contender for the International Princess Title. Suzume said she felt the presence of all her fans again at the summer shows where cheering was allowed. She also got to wrestle in front of new audiences through her Gatoh Move appearances as well as the “GO GIRL” show. This match is a great opportunity for her to bring TJPW to the world!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP” Results

July 31, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 31/07/2022
Tokyo Otemachi Mitsui Hall
284 Fans

1. Maki Itoh & Arisu Endo defeated Moka Miyamoto & Juria Nagano when Itoh submitted Nagano with the Itoh Punish (10:26).
2. 3 Way Match: Yuki Kamifuku defeated Mizuki and Haruna Neko when Kamifuku pinned Neko with a Cradle (8:53).
3. Yuki Arai, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao, Mahiro Kiryu & Kaya Toribami when Arai pinned Toribami with the Finally (13:08).
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Suzume defeated Rika Tatsumi with a Crucifix Pin (11:10).
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Miyu Yamashita defeated Nao Kakuta with the Skull Kick (9:21).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Hikari Noa with the Magical Girl Splash (12:55).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Miu Watanabe defeated Shoko Nakajima with the Tear Drop (16:34).

The Quarter Finals is where Shoko Nakajima’s run in the Tokyo Princess Cup ends this time around. Miu Watanabe has the achievement of eliminating the current Princess Of Princess Champion from the tournament! She avoided the Locomotion Northern Lights Suplex and blocked a Hurricanrana to pin Nakajima with the Tear Drop. Watanabe said before that she wants to defeat her seniors in Tokyo Joshi Pro and she got to do it today. She said there are still many difficult roads to travel but she will do her best to keep winning.

It was so close and yet still so far for Hikari Noa. She wasn’t able to beat Yuka Sakazaki despite putting out her best effort. She hit the Blizzard Suplex twice, the first one happening from the top rope. But both times she couldn’t pin Sakazaki quickly enough to get a three count. That cost her because Sakazaki got a second wind, did the Magical Merry-Go-Round and hit the Magical Girl Splash for the victory. Sakazaki said she feels a lot of pressure to win the tournament this year so did not want to lose here. She’s pretending to be ok but cannot deny that Noa is getting stronger.

Miyu Yamashita made up for her recent AEW defeat by beating Nao Kakuta to qualify for the Princess Cup semi final. Kakuta made it difficult by attacking Yamashita during her entrance. She quickly tried to set up the Shiden Kai but Yamashita fought out of it. She escaped the move a second time and hit her own signatures to advance to the final four. Yamashita believes this is the year she will finally win the tournament. She also said her time in AEW was a very good experience.

Perhaps the big upset of the round goes to Suzume for eliminating Rika Tatsumi! Tatsumi had control for most of the match and took her opponent to the limit. Suzume looked like she was out of it when she collapsed in the Dragon Sleeper. But she countered the Twist Of Fate and rolled Tatsumi into a Crucfix Pin to get the three count! The two hugged after the match and shook hands. Suzume made it her goal to surpass Tatsumi and this result is the breakthrough she needs. Her run through this tournament is earning her the title of “Rising Star” within the company. Tatsumi on the other hand accepts the result and has no excuse for losing. She is done with the tournament and wants to enjoy the rest of her summer by taking vacations and going to festivals.

The draw for the semi finals took place a couple of hours after the show. On 13th August Yuka Sakazaki takes on Suzume while Miyu Yamashita will fight against Miu Watanabe. The final takes place the next day on the 14th.

A couple of future match announcements were made at the start of the show. Max The Impaler’s first match in Tokyo Joshi Pro on 13th August will be against Pom Harajuku. There is one thing you need to know about Max. THEY. HATE. IDOLS! Also on the show is Arisu Endo Vs Mei Suruga.

The “TJPW INSPIRATION” show will return on 11th September. One of the matches taking place is The Magical Sugar Rabbits against the team of Pokotan and Demonio Uno. Two foreign wrestlers will also appear. Dalys from CMLL makes her return for the first time since 2020 while Stephanie Vaquer from Chile makes her TJPW debut.
