TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BATTLE MISSION 2016 CODE.5”, 12/11/2016
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR
132 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Miyu Yamashita defeated Nodoka-oneesan with a Cobra Clutch (8:41).
2. Konsho-gun Full Scale Start Up! Love Kick Off!: Reika Saiki & Hyper Misao defeated Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko when Saiki pinned Takigawa with a Brainbuster (8:33).
3. Mil Clown defeated Maho Kurone with the Mil Clutch α (8:04).
4. Yuu & Shoko Nakajima defeated Akane Miura & Rika Tatsumi when Nakajima pinned Tatsumi with an Inside Cradle (13:17).

Simply getting the winning pinfall in the main event isn’t enough for Shoko Nakajima. She’s noticed that something has been missing from her career and that is a rival. A rival would give her the extra push needed to become the best so she challenged Yuu to a TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title match. However Akane Miura stepped in and said she knows she can beat Yuu and she wants to prove it at Korakuen Hall! Then Miyu Yamashita entered the conversation claiming to want the belt the most out of anyone. It was decided that a 3 Way Match between Nakajima, Miura and Yamashita will take place on 20th November to determine who faces Yuu for the title at Korakuen on 4th January.

Azusa Takigawa is hard at work looking for a fiance. She wants to get on Samurai! TV and Shukan Puroresu magazine to spread the message. Nonoko’s plan to help is to film a promotional DVD of Takigawa relaxing in a hot spring and then sell it on Amazon.

Maki Itoh Vs Reika Saiki is booked for the 4th Janaury show. Also announced to appear are Candice LeRae and Laura James.

4. Yuu & Shoko Nakajima Vs Akane Miura & Rika Tatsumi

Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko have formed Konsho-gun, or the Marriage Wins Army. Takigawa is campaigning against Tokyo Joshi Pro’s rule against relationships for the main roster. She wants to find a boyfriend and get married, not for love but because she thinks it will make her a stronger wrestler.

DDT “DNA 27”, 16/11/2016
Hanayashiki Park Hall

5. Kazusada Higuchi Vs Shunma Katsumata
6. Kouki Iwasaki & Mizuki Watase Vs Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu

There are a few things left over from the DNA Grand Prix to sort out. Ryota Nakatsu’s return had him rub most of the roster the wrong way. Both Kouki Iwasaki & Mizuki Watase want to defend DNA’s honour against him. Nakatsu has Ryuichi Sekine for back up though.

Shunma Katsumata couldn’t compete in the Grand Prix due to injury. He most of all wanted to win his group and face Kazusada Higuchi in the final. The circumstances now are different but can he finally beat his rival or will Higuchi travel to New York as the victor?

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2016”, 23/11/2016
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Single Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Mike Bailey
2. Special Single Match: Yoshihiro Takayama Vs Yukio Sakaguchi

4. DDT Extreme Title: Danshoku Dino (c) Vs Saki Akai

Three new matches give us some tantalising previews for “OSAKA OCTOPUS 2016”. HARASHIMA & Konosuke Takeshita join forces against DAMNATION, Mike Bailey goes up against the group’s leader and Yukio Sakaguchi attempts to tear down the mountain that is Yoshihiro Takayama.

3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Konosuke Takeshita & Mike Bailey
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs HARASHIMA

Takeshita wants revenge on Endo for leaving him and joining DAMNATION. Bailey wants to avenge his defeat to DAMNATION from “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2016”. What I’m trying to say is the Happy Motels wrestlers don’t like DAMNATION.

yuu-katahajime

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “IN A CORNER OF A CITY CALLED YOKOHAMA”, 29/10/2016
Yokohama Radiant Hall
202 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Nonoko defeated Azusa Takigawa with the Boinmaker (7:30).
2. Muscle Idol Vs Back Bancho First Confrontation!: Reika Saiki & Nodoka-oneesan defeated Akane Miura & Maho Kurone when Saiki submitted Kurone with the Tower Bridge (9:07).
3. 3 Way Match: Mil Clown defeated Shoko Nakajima and Hyper Misao when Clown pinned Misao with the Mil Clutch α (5:35).
4. Marika Kobashi High School Exam Send-Off Match: Miyu Yamashita defeated Marika Kobashi with the Attitude Adjustment (11:30).
5. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Yuu (c) defeated Rika Tatsumi with the Katahajime (15:15).
*V1 for Yuu.

Yuu’s first defence of the TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title was successful but proved to be more of a challenge than she thought. Rika Tatsumi had only begun to win matches consistently in the last couple of months, leading to her getting a crack at the title. However she came prepared with her own focus on submissions to combat Yuu’s judo ability. While Tatsumi threw some Hip Attacks to knock back Yuu, she also targeted her leg with Dropkicks and Dragon Screws so she could apply an effective Figure Four Leg Lock. Yuu resisted this and applied the Katahajime for the submission victory. Yuu said she was really happy with the match because it brings her one step closer to defending the title on 4th January, the one year anniversary of her debut match.

Miyu Yamashita defeated Marika Kobashi in Kobashi’s final match for the time being. Kobashi will now prepare for her high school entry exams. Yamashita said she originally thought Kobashi was too young when she first began training due to how tough it is. However she was proven wrong and she is happy to be part of Kobashi’s send off. She then advised Kobashi to concentrate on her exams because they are terribly hard. Kobashi hopes to return if she passes the exams.

There’s been a theme running through all of the DDT family throughout 2016 and it is marriage. A lot of wrestlers and staff members have been getting married or at least engaged this year. Azusa Takigawa has noticed this and also noticed the wrestlers who have gotten married have also become stronger as a result. She interrupted the opening speeches so she could plead with the Genral Manager Tetsuya Koda to drop the “No relationships” rule from Tokyo Joshi Pro. Takigawa wants to go out matchmaking so she can find a husband, get married and become stronger! Koda told her now wasn’t the time to talk about this. Later when Takigawa had her match with Nonoko, Takigawa was put in a Scorpion Deathlock. Instead of reaching for the ropes Takigawa instead reached for a microphone so she could again plead to Koda to drop the “no relationships” rule while she was in the Scorpion Deathlock! After the match Nonoko was impressed by Takigawa’s passion. Not for wrestling but for finding a husband. Nonoko said she was a teenager until just recently (yeah right!) and she never imagined wanting to go matchmaking at Takigawa’s age. She wants to help Takigawa and offered to team with her in the ring. Takigawa accepted, together they will find the truth of love!

Maki Itoh from the idol group LinQ announced she will be wrestling for DDT on 11th December and after that will debut for Tokyo Joshi on 4th January. She is thrilled by her plans to do both idol work and wrestling. She also said she has great respect for Danshoku Dino. It was then revealed that Itoh’s opponent on 4th January will by Miyu Yamashita. According to Yamashita she has been keeping a close eye on Itoh’s training ever since it began back in July. She noticed Itoh has been working very hard so she is happy to be her first opponent in Tokyo Joshi. She asked Itoh to come at her at full force when they wrestle.

The literal doll faced ring announcer and “World’s First Animated Idol Chick” Minami Momochi recently revealed she will be graduating from Tokyo Joshi Pro on 4th January next year. She said over the last three and a half years she watched Tokyo Joshi and their wrestlers grow. She feels now is the time for herself to move on if she too wants to advance.

Event sponsors gave prizes to the winners of each match. Such prizes included a dessert sets and boxes filled with either bananas or oranges and they were presented to the wrestlers by children.

Hyper Misao has noticed how often Yuu & Nodoka-oneesan team together. They’ve been wrestling together ever since they debuted back in January. Misao told them that they are linked by “love of the truth”. While Yuu got to grapple with Rika Tatsumi a bit, she had to settle with submitting Misao to win the match.

When one of the children presented FUMA with his prize, FUMA forced him to do the Heavy Metal hand gesture.

Maho Kurone’s bloody make-up scared the children at ringside. She even chased a few away during her entrance.

Tomoya Kawamura was injured in his earlier match with FUMA so Gouma Ryu had to take his place for the evening show. The audience groaned when he was announced as the replacement. Gouma asked Yusuke Kubo if he could lose the match on purpose so Ryu would win the box of oranges for his daughter. Kubo refused and decked Ryu with his own law book to win.

Mil Clown chased the child who gave her her prize around the ring.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “OSAKA LOVE RIN” Results

yuu-throw

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “OSAKA LOVE RIN”, 16/10/2016
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall
164 Fans

1. Akane Miura defeated Marika Kobashi with the Lariat (4:14).
2. 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Azusa Takigawa and Maho Kurone when Nakajima pinned Takigawa with the Northern Lights Suplex (8:36).
3. Reika Saiki defeated Nonoko with a Camel Clutch (6:44).
4. Mil Clown defeated Hyper Misao with the Mil Clutch α (6:35).
5. Rika Tatsumi & Miyu Yamshita defeated Yuu & Nodoka Onee-san when Tatsumi pinned Nodoka with the Dragon Twist Of Fate (13:55).

Rika Tatsumi continues to build momentum for her TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title Match with Yuu. However Yuu didn’t take today’s tag team defeat well and continued fighting with Tatsumi & Miyu Yamashita after the match. When Yuu left ringside Tatsumi said she will return to Osaka as the champion.

Yuka Sakazaki’s twin sister from the Magic Country Mil Clown was victorious in her debut match. Her opponent Hyper Misao didn’t believe Clown was Sakazaki’s sister but instead was one of her enemies. This match would help Misao figure out if Clown is good or evil. Clown quickly showed her colours when she twisted Misao’s hand during a handshake. Clown used some rolling Lucha to win the match. Her teddy bear companion Kumaun spoke on her behalf in the post-match interview. Kumaun said Clown had fun but is getting used to being away from Magic Country. Clown can’t tell if she is good or evil in this land. It’s something she never had to worry about back home.

Just how strong is Reika Saiki? Well, so strong she can give a Brainbuster to Nonoko. She can also submit Nonoko with the Camel Clutch.

Ken Ohka is feeling flustered after the Korakuen Hall seating chart for this show appeared on screen during Sunday’s DDT show revealing many unsold tickets. Ohka said Amon Tsurumi put that on the screen without his permission. Ohka has promised to retire if the show doesn’t sell out. Not only that but a lot of money was borrowed to put this show together. If that isn’t bad enough their T-shirt design for the occasion hasn’t been completed yet and the DVD team are too busy putting together a Ganbare Vs Tomodachi-gun release so they can’t immediately work on editing the Korakuen show as soon as it ends. Also Yumehito Imanari wants to put his match with Viper on the DVD even though that has nothing to do with the Tomodachi-gun feud.

The 5 Way Match to determine LiLiCo’s fiancee fell apart when Danshoku Dino won the match on behalf of Suguru Miyatake. The problem was in the end Miyatake wanted to marry for love not fame, so he declined to marry LiLiCo. Fearing a public relations disaster, Dino and some of the senior members of DDT are now scrambling to find a new boyfriend for LiLiCo. Whoever they turn out to be, they must fight for LiLiCo’s love.

Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Yuu (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi

Yuu thinks Rika Tatsumi has a cute look but that makes her soft. Tatsumi can’t put into words why she thinks she can win the title from Yuu but it isn’t luck.

Two changes to the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster has been announced. First, Marika Kobashi will be taking six months off from wrestling at the end of October. During that time she will finish her junior high school term and then prepare for her high school entrance exam. She is expected to return next spring, either March or April.

Secondly, Yuka Sakazaki will also take a leave of absence from Tokyo Joshi. Due to her recent performances she decided to travel to Magic Country and begin warrior training to become stronger. It is unknown how long this will take. In the meantime Yuka is sending her previously unacknowledged twin sister from Magic Country to take her place in Tokyo Joshi. Yuka’s sister is a masked luchadora named Mil Clown. She cannot speak any human language so she carries a teddy bear called Kumaun to talk on her behalf.

4. KANNA Graduation Match: Saki Akai, Ai Shimizu & KANNA defeated Shoko Nakajima, Akane Miura & Maho Kurone when KANNA pinned Kurone with the Spear Of Versailles (12:58).
5. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Yuu defeated Miyu Yamashita (c) by TKO with the Katahajime (14:26).
*Miyu Yamashita fails in V3. Yuu becomes the 2nd TOKYO Princess Of Princess Champion!

We have a new TOKYO Princess Of Princess Champion! After an almost 9 month reign as the first champion, Miyu Yamashita fell to her toughest challenge yet. In fact, the new champion Yuu had her debut match on the same show where Yamashita was crowned the first champion. Yamashita threw everything that she could from the Attitude Adjustment to a Cross Arm German Suplex to the Crash Rabbit Heat. But Yuu caught Yamashita in the Katahajime and squeezed the life out of her, winning the match by TKO. When Yamashita regained consciousness she hadn’t the energy to shake Yuu’s hand so she instead bumped Yuu’s shoulder with her fist in congratulations before being helped out of the ring. When Yuu received the title belt she said she was the absolute champion and now she wants to shine more. Rika Tatsumi entered the ring and congratulated Yuu. But she also threw out a challenge. Tatsumi said she has recently become stronger and a championship to go along with her new success would be cool. Yuu accepted the challenge but warned Tatsumi that Yamashita thought she was invincible. Now look what happened to her.

It is now time for KANNA to say farewell to Tokyo Joshi Pro. She was one of the first trainees for the promotion but decided to call time on her wrestling career to become a rapper. For her final match she was reunited with Saki Akai and Ai Shimizu to reform the posh Biishiki-gun group for one night only. Akai was misinformed and thought KANNA was going off to do musicals in Broadway. She prefers the orchestra to rap. Biishiki-gun won their match when Akai gave Shoko Nakajima a PK from the apron, Shimizu gave Akane Miura a Tornado DDT and KANNA got the pin on Maho Kurone with the Spear Of Versailles. Akai told KANNA after the match she was a rose in full bloom. The rest of the roster gave her bouquets and said their goodbyes. Yamashita said she didn’t want to cry before her match but after spending four years training and wrestling with KANNA she was sad to see her leave. KANNA thanked everyone for supporting her and wished herself luck on travelling down a new road.

While Tatsumi is gaining confidence with her win today, her opponent Yuka Sakazaki was distraught over losing. Sakazaki couldn’t muster up the enthusiasm to speak in the ring, called herself weak and left feeling upset. All she said in a backstage interview is after all her training leading up to today she just feels like a useless child.

Tokyo Joshi Pro will hold their second show in Korakuen Hall on 4th January, 2017! Yuu’s goal is to stay as the champion and sell out the show for her one year anniversary.
