TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GIRLS FIGHT OUT #3”, 18/02/2017
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR
150 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Shoko Nakajima defeated Nodoka-oneesan with the Northern Lights Suplex (7:56).
2. Yuu & Miyu Yamashita defeated Mil Clown & Rika Tatsumi when Yamashita pinned Tatsumi with the Attitude Adjustment (14:53).
3. “Back Bancho” Akane Miura Road To Graduation: Akane Miura defeated Maho Kurone with the Lariat (4:30).
4. SIN Biishiki-gun Vs Konkatsu-gun: Sakisama & Martha defeated Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko when Saki submitted Takigawa with a Foot Choke (15:34).

Sakisama is really no good at making friends in Tokyo Joshi Pro. Her snooty behavior made another enemy today. This time she called Azusa Takigawa a “White Pig”. Sakisama made things worse in the main event when she accidentally knocked out Daisuke Kiso with a missed Big Boot. Takigawa then pinned Sakisama but there was no referee. Rika Tatsumi climbed into the ring and slapped the mat three three times in Kiso’s place. The GM Tetsuya Koda refused to end the match. He told them that Kiso was the designated referee so the match must continue. Sakisama then trapped Takigawa in a Foot Choke and made her submit. Sakisama said she doesn’t understand the elegance of vulnerable people then left the ring with her maid Martha. Takigawa asked Tatsumi to help her battle SIN Biishiki-gun even though Tatsumi is not a part of Konkatsu-gun. On 12th March they will get their revenge!

Akane Miura doesn’t have a special relationship with Maho Kurone but she still thinks their match today will be a special memory for her. Before Miura graduates she wants to reunite Bust Deluxe with Nonoko one more time.

The soon to debut Yuna Manase appeared at intermission and introduced herself to the audience. She said it was her first time at a Tokyo Joshi show and she is impressed. The action is a lot faster and more fierce than it looks on video.

Hyper Misao was in attendance to give an update on her health. She had surgery to repair her ACL one month ago and is currently in rehabilitation. She is asking her fans to please be patient for her return.

DDT is considering lifting its ban of fan recordings at its live shows. A trial run will take place at the Nerima show. Fans in attendance will be allowed to record video as long as they film just the matches (no entrances because of music rights). Fans can only use phones (no tablets or cameras) that are held below eye level and nobody is allowed to deliberately film other people in the audience. Depending on results and feedback DDT will experiment with these rules as time goes on.

Soma Takao now finds himself as the hottest free agent in DDT. Units all around are falling over themselves to sign him so a 6 Way Match will determine where he goes. Whoever wins will have their unit recruit Soma. If Soma himself wins he gets to choose who to join, which is most likely Smile Squash. But T2Hide and NωA badly want him. That’s not all, Rekka wants Soma to be the ace of his home promotion New Taiwan Pro Wrestling. T2Hide promises to make him their leader. NωA want him because he has a higher singing voice that none of the other members have. Last but not least, Saki Akai wants Soma to sign with the Oscar Promotion talent agency. Akai calls Oscar the largest unit in the wrestling world.

Kotatsu was asked to comment on its Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title defence but it kept silent.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GIRLS FIGHT OUT #3”, 18/02/2017
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. “Back Bancho” Akane Miura Road To Graduation: Akane Miura Vs Maho Kurone
2. SIN Biishiki-gun Vs Konkatsu-gun: Saki-nami & Martha Vs Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko

Akane Miura announced today on her 20th birthday that she will be graduating from Tokyo Joshi Pro on 25th March. Miura was given an offer to go back to senior high school in April and she wishes to complete her education. She is unable to wrestle and concentrate on her studies at the same time so she had to make a decision. She had previously dropped out of high school but desired to return and thinks now is the perfect time in her life to do it. When she graduates in four years time she’ll consider returning to pro wrestling. She will continue to fight hard until her final match. Her next opponent is Maho Kurone who was upset to hear the news. One of the reasons Kurone came to Tokyo Joshi was to eat Miura. Now that Miura is leaving, Kurone promises she will only eat her hair and eyeballs.

There was even more sad news today. Azusa Takigawa and Nonoko were told to stop using issues of Zexy Magazine as a weapon in their matches. Zexy’s editorial department got in contact with Tokyo Joshi over the gimmick. While they appreciate having Konkatsu-gun as regular readers, they do not like their magazine being used as a weapon. Konsho-gun apologised to the editors and readers of the magazine and promised not to use Zexy for anything other than its intended purpose. They will refrain from using it as a weapon. Both Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko were crying their eyes out as they apologised. Zexy was their bible and now they feel like they just ended a relationship. The team is now in crisis. If they are no longer allowed to use marriage information magazines then can they still be called Konkatsu-gun (Marriage Army)?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GIRLS FIGHT OUT #2” Results

February 5, 2017

saiki-backdrop

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GIRLS FIGHT OUT #2”, 05/02/2017
Tokyo BASEMENT MONSTAR
150 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Akane Miure defeated Maki Itoh with a Power Slam (5:34).
2. You Will Be In Time For Valentine’s Day! Encounter Just Before Valentine’s Day!: Miyu Yamashita & Mil Clown defeated Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko when Clown pinned Takigawa with the Mil Clutch α (12:02).
3. Saki-sama & Martha defeated Rika Tatsumi & Maho Kurone when Saki pinned Tatsumi with a Jackknife Pin (11:00).
4. Reika Saiki & Shoko Nakajima defeated Yuu & Nodoka-oneesan when Saiki pinned Nodoka with a Back Drop (17:25).

Reika Saiki was on the winning side today but her chest was left heavily bruised by Yuu’s chops. Saiki fought back with Middle Kicks and it was a Buzzsaw Kick to Nodoka-oneesan that led to her winning the match. Saiki said she will use this momentum to fight Yuu at full power when they face off for the TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title on 12th March. She has the muscle, energy, motivation and talent to win!

Sakisama is showing more disdain towards Rika Tatsumi. It didn’t help that at Tatsumi was on the verge of beating her with the Dragon Sleeper. Saki’s arm fell three times but on the third drop her maid Martha caught her hand from outside the ring and held it up. When Tatsumi complained to the referee Martha smashed her with an Elbow Strike and Saki rolled her over with a Jackknife for the three count. Saki told Tatsumi to quietly quit wrestling and go start an ordinary family in the countryside. Those words brought out Azusa Takigawa. She’s annoyed that Saki made the idea of getting married sound so easy. Saki took a good look at Takigawa’s face and then called her an orangutan. Takigawa demanded a match between Konkatsu-gun and SIN Biishiki-gun for the next show on 18th February.

Maki Itoh tried to take her loss to Akane Miura in her stride. She said that although Miura pinned her, she still has the cuter face so the match is a tie. She then called out the stars of Tofu Pro Wrestling again despite being warned not to by management. She is annoyed that they are following so many wrestlers on Twitter but are avoiding her. Her challenge to them for a match is still around.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Single Match: Colt “Boom Boom” Cabana Vs Danshoku “Bin Bin” Dino

After spending a year working in Thailand, Michael Nakazawa is taking a break for a while and coming back home to Japan. That means Nakazawa is returning to DDT! This will be his first match in DDT since “JUDGEMENT 2016” when Kota Ibushi memorably gave him a Piledriver into a toilet.

A big main event is in store. Not just in physical size but in ego too. Naomi Yoshimura attended the match announcement wearing sunglasses and a fancy suit. He didn’t care about Akebono’s sumo accomplishments and ran down Kazusada Higuchi for losing to Mike Bailey and Ryota Nakatsu late last year. He threatened to blow away anyone who stands in his path. Higuchi was more polite. Being in the presence of Akebono is enough encouragement to withstand whatever Yuji Okabayashi throws at him. Akebono warned Yoshimura to respect him or be crushed.

In order to avoid reaching 10 failed title defences in a row, Nobuhiro Shimatani has to face the the only wrestler who has a worse history with the King Of Dark Championship than he does. And you know Gota Ihashi does not want to go back to that fate.

Shota Nakagawa is from AZUSA Project and Andromeda KEN is from Pro Wrestling ACE. KEN is also a dropout from the WRESTLE-1 school. Ohka wants more people to sign up, preferably people who like B’z so they can go do karaoke during the audition.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GIRLS FIGHT OUT #1” Results

January 22, 2017

miyu-rika-saki-martha

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GIRLS FIGHT OUT #1”, 21/01/2017
Tokyo BASEMENT MONSTAR
150 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Maho Kurone defeated Maki Ito with the Reverse Swinging Neckbreaker Drop (6:43).
2. Great Pitfalls That People Who Want To Get Married Fall Into This Year: Shoko Nakajima & Akane Miura defeated Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko when Nakajima pinned Takigawa with the Northern Lights Suplex (10:42).
3. Yuu defeated Nodoka-oneesan with the Cross Armbreaker (6:26).
4. SIN Biishiki-gun Start!: Saki-sama & Martha defeated Miyu Yamashita & Rika Tatsumi when Akai pinned Tatsumi with a Jackknife Pin (10:10).

Saki Akai is now known as Sakisama in Toyko Joshi Pro. She corrected Rika Tatsumi when she called her by her former name. Sakisama also said the main event would be memorable because it’s the debut of her maid Martha. Normally it is Martha’s job to clean everything, so Sakisama wanted her to get rid of the two bags of trash opposing them in the ring. Martha tried to so just that by using a mop against Tatsumi and Miyu Yamashita. Martha attacked Tatsumi with the mop non-stop and Sakisama pinned her with a basic Jackknife afterwards. Yamashita pulled Tatsumi away from danger after the match and Sakisama admonished her for behaving badly.

Mil Clown missed the show because of a cervical sprain. She is expected to be fully recovered before the next event. The planned 3 Way Match was turned into just a singles match where Maho Kurone defeated Maki Itoh. Afterwards Itoh got on the mic and began talking about the new AKB48 TV show Tofu Pro Wrestling. She called out to each of the idols starring in the show and wants them to know she is waiting for them anytime! In a backstage interview Itoh admitted she was told by her management not to talk about that but her mouth slipped.

HARASHIMA showed a rare dark side the last time he was in the ring with Daisuke Sasaki. HARASHIMA choked out Sasaki with a Sleeper Hold but it was in retaliation for Sasaki blindsiding him at a previous show. Will Sasaki go for revenge knowing he could risk facing HARASHIMA’s wrath again afterwards?

In unfortunate news, MIZUHO “graduated” from Tokyo Joshi Pro during the week. MIZUHO had been absent for most of 2016 when she suffered dizziness during intense training exercises. The source of this problem turned out to be a malfunctioning semicircular canal. She took time off to rest but her condition never recovered. After speaking to her doctor and the Tokyo Joshi staff she decided it was time to end her wrestling career and devote time to treating her condition. MIZUHO apologised to the Tokyo Joshi fans for leaving so suddenly.

The first Korakuen Hall show of the DDT UNIVERSE launch will determine the main event of “JUDGEMENT 2017” in Saitama Super Arena this March. Bad blood is growing between HARASHIMA and Daisuke Sasaki over the KO-D Openweight Title. Meanwhile Konosuke Takeshita and KUDO won their playoff matches to reach the final but only one will get the KO-D Title shot at DDT’s 20th Anniversary.

Yasu Urano spent the last week acting coy about wanting to challenge for the AJPW Jr. Title. He’s now getting what he wants and that’s a title match against Keisuke Ishii. Urano promises to wrestle clean but Ishii doesn’t believe him.

Yeah, DDT thinks getting Dino out there for the match promoting DDT UNIVERSE is the best idea. I mean at this point if you’re subscribing to it you have to know what to expect.

joshi17-lastride

For the second year in a row Tokyo Joshi Pro was in Korakuen Hall for a big show held on 4th January. One year ago, Yuu had her debut pro wrestling match with the group. Today she was defending the TOKYO Princess Of Princess Championship in the main event. Her opponent Shoko Nakajima was part of last year’s main event too fighting to be the first champion. Unfortunately for her she was defeated again. Yuu unexpectedly used a Last Ride Power Bomb, in tribute to the late Koichiro Kimura apparently, putting Nakajima away. Yuu is looking forward to defending the title many more times and she didn’t have to wait long for a new challenger to appear. Reika Saiki approached her in the ring to congratulate Yuu. Saiki called herself muscular, healthy and motivated so how about a title shot? Yuu accepted the challenge. She’s defending the belt but she’s going to treat the championship like it is hers to win!

joshi17-akai-martha

Fresh back from Paris, Saki Akai returned to Tokyo Joshi and this time she was accompanied by her faithful maid Martha. Miyu Yamashita did the polite thing and greeted Martha but it was clear she didn’t trust her. She was proven right to do so when Martha distracted the referee while Akai was in a Camel Clutch. Yamashita broke it to go after Martha but when she turned back Akai was there to do a Big Boot. Yamashita ducked and Martha took the boot to the face instead. Yamashita hit the Attitude Adjustment but only got a two count. Akai dodged the Crash Rabbit Heat and got the pin with the Two Step Face Kick. Akai played it off like the result was no big deal. She offered to help lift Yamashita back up to her feet but then she kicked her again. She told Tetsuya Koda to contact her later about appearing in a match on 21st January. She would like to team up with Martha for that match so Koda better go looking for their opponents.

joshi17-clown-candice

Mil Clown defeated the returning Candice LeRae, avenging her twin sister’s loss to the Canadian one year ago. At one point LeRae fought dirty by pushing Daisuke Kiso into the ropes to knock Clown off of the top turnbuckle. However Clown recovered and caught LeRae in the Mil Clutch α for the flash pin.

joshi17-towerbridge

Cheer♡1 and LinQ performed together after Match #2 but two of their members wrestled each other later in the show. Maki Itoh kicked Reika Saiki as often as she could but a Headbutt from Saiki slowed her down. Itoh kept trying to fight back until she was locked into the Tower Bridge and had to submit. Itoh was happy to wrestle in Korakuen Hall despite only having her debut match three weeks ago. She hopes pro wrestling will bring in more fans over to her idol career with LinQ. The group is going to reshuffle its members in June and she doesn’t want to get fired!

joshi17-wives

Love was in the air for Match #3. Joey Ryan & Laura James kissed each other and wished everyone a happy new year during their entrance. Then Inoue Mic & Ai Shimizu did the same. Ryan was there to be the referee and ring announcer Mic introduced Shimizu as his “beloved and unbelievably cute wife”. Their opponents Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko came armed with the premium New Year issue of Zexy Magazine. Ryan was biased towards his wife’s team but Nonoko did her best to seduce him during the match. When Takigawa was ready to use her magazine as a weapon both husbands ran to protect their wives. During the confusion Takigawa accidentally knocked out Nonoko with the magazine, Ryan put his lollipop into Takigawa’s mouth and Shimizu pinned her with the Fishergirl Suplex.

joshi17-momochi

Match #2 was changed from a Tag Team bout to a 3 Way Match when Akane Miura caught the flu and was taken off the show. The match also served as ring announcer Minami Momochi’s graduation from Tokyo Joshi. She received streamers from the crowd during the announcements. She also got involved in the match, helping Hyper Misao fight the demonic Maho Kurone. Momochi gave Kurone a Neckbreaker Drop and Misao then hit the I Am A Hero. However Rika Tatsumi took over the match and won when she put Kurone in the Dragon Sleeper.

joshi17-nodoka-cherry

Before Nodoka-oneesan took on her mentor Cherry in the opener, she invited Momochi to participate in Ping Pong Exercises with her one more time. When that was done Cherry came down but she did not want to go through the pre-match formalities. After the match though she embraced Nodoka and supported her for putting up a good fight.
