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

May 3, 2019

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 “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.

6. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) defeated Yuna Manase & Yuki Kamifuku when Sakazaki pinned Kamifuku with the Magical Magical Girl Splash (13:12).
*V5 for the Magical Sugar Rabbits.

The TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles match took an unusual turn when Yuki Kamifuku disappeared and was replaced by a Good Looking Guy. The appearance of this Good Looking Guy motivated Yuna Manase until the Magical Sugar Rabbits pulled off the Guy’s jacket and sunglasses to reveal it was just Kamifuku in disguise. The Rabbits flattened the Kano Sisters with a Double Cross Body then Mizuki got Manase out of the ring. Kamifuku tried to fight back against Kamifuku but her Fame Asser was countered into into the Magical Merry Go Round. Yuka Sakazaki then hit the Magical Magical Girl Splash to win the match. The champions admitted today turned out to be a risky defence because their usual wrestling pace was broken by their challengers.

Misao is now winning matches but she isn’t satisfied. She feels miserable and curses her weakness. Sakisama says everyone has a destiny when they are born. Sakisama was born to be loved and convey beauty to the world. Others are born to give her a sense of superiority. Misao said they do not need weeds in this beautiful world for Sakisama.

Rika Tatsumi started her match wanting to do the Good Night Express instead of Raku. Everyone else even Tatsumi’s tag partners decided to do the Good Night Express on Tatsumi instead.

Pom Harajuku nearly won the 3 Way Match by pulling off a favourite trick of mine on her opponents. When Shoko Nakajima and Mina Shirakawa were battling over a Backslide Pin spot, Harajuku trip both of them as their arms were locked up and rolled the both of them onto their shoulders for a double pin. Both kicked out, Nakajima hit Harajuku with the 619, Shirakawa tried to give Nakajima an Oklahoma Roll but it was blocked and Nakajima pressed down on her to get the three count. Nakajima was frustrated over the result.

Hikari Noa and Pinano Pipipipi shared a bottle of tea together in the ring before their match as a sign of a clean fight. Noa instead knocked the bottle into Pinano and started the match.

NEO Biishiki-gun again interrupted the Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) performance at the start of the show.

It was announced that Tokyo Joshi Pro’s next show at Korakuen Hall after 3rd May will take place on 25th August. This is following the same Korakuen schedule from last year.

Thunder Rosa will make her Tokyo Joshi debut on 3rd May.
