Union Gets Its Own US Title

August 7, 2012

UNION “UNION SUMMER FESTIVAL 2012”, 12/08/2012
Isami Wrestle Arena

1. Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: NOZOMI Vs Mio Shirai
2. Union Non-Certified US Heavyweight Title: Hiroshi Fukuda (w/ Mame Endo & Rumi Kazama) Vs Kengo Ohka
3. Cherry & Miyako Matsumoto Vs Isami Kodaka & El Hijo del Goro Jr. (w/ Goro Jr.)
4. Shuji Ishikawa & Taichi Kazato Vs Shigehiro Irie & Toru Sugiura
5. Seiya Morohashi Vs Ken Ohka

Hiroshi Fukuda is a fan of American wrestling, so I guess the Union Non-Certified US Heavyweight Title will turn out to be a modified WWE US Title belt replica that he owns.

Seiya Morohashi has permanently dropped the Big Rude gimmick and is back to wrestling as himself.

7. BJW Tag Team Title: Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie (c) defeated Abdullah Kobayashi & Ryuji Ito when Ishikawa pinned Ito with the Cross-Arm Splash Mountain (19:03).
*V1 for BIG “G” BANG.

BIG “G” BANG defeated two of the mainstays of Big Japan to achieve V1 for the BJW Tag Team Championship. Even without the death match setting, Abdullah Kobayashi & Ryuji Ito were a dangerous duo to be reckoned with. Yukinori Matsui was taken out of action during the match, allowing the Big Japan team to bring is chairs and use them without any consequences. However, the champions retained when Shuji Ishikawa rolled away from Kobayashi’s Bakachinga Elbow. Ishikawa gave him the Splash Mountain but Kobayashi kicked out at two. Ishikawa then gave him the Cross-Arm Splash Mountain and that was enough to win the match.

After the match, Ishikawa told the fans that he wants to bring the DDT Extreme Title back to Union. Yuko Miyamoto, fresh off of his victory over Cherry earlier in the show, accepted the challenge and set the match for Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 18th July.

Tokyo Joshi Pro held an offer match with NOZOMI making her re-debut for her first bout in around 2 or 3 years. She was pitted against former JWP Junior Champion Kagetsu and had a chance to shake off her ring rust and learn the basics once again. NOZOMI lost to the classic rookie killer move, the Boston Crab. Afterwards she gave a bow to all four sides of the arena.

Before Match #2 began, Mio Shirai and Princess Makoto got into another argument over who is more sexy. They asked the other wrestlers plus Yukinori Matsui to judge who had the better looking chest. Makoto won the vote. In the match itself, Makoto used her charms to distract Ken Ohka and allow Shiryu to roll him over for the pin.

Please Welcome Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling

June 4, 2012

Today at a press conference in Shinjuku, Sanshiro Takagi was joined by former NEO president Tetsuya Koda and retired Joshi wrestler NOZAMI (formerly Nozomi Dai) to announce the establishment of Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling.

Sanshiro Takagi told the story of how Tokyo Joshi Pro came to be. When Takashi Dai joined DDT and made his debut back in March, Takagi thought his name sounded familiar. Takagi asked Dai if any of his relatives were involved in wrestling and Takashi said his sister Nozami was a wrestler for NEO but she retired in 2010. From there Takagi made contact with Nozami and also with Tetusya Koda to discuss the possibility of forming a new joshi promotion with some backing from DDT. From there Tokyo Joshi Pro was born.

The aim of Tokyo Joshi Pro is to find and nurture new female wrestlers as well as to create a new joshi culture for them to follow. Koda said that even though he wants to do new things, there are problems that always pop up to prevent anything really new from being created. With DDT, he hopes to avoid those problems and is eager to discover new talent.

Takagi mentioned that all trainees will be following the “Forbidden Three” rule. That means all trainees are forbidden from having three things: men, liquor and tobacco. These rules have been used ever since the days of All Japan Women’s Pro Wrestling. Takagi said he wants to have a professional attitude going into this and denies that anyone caught breaking the rules will be immediately dismissed, as was the case in past promotions. However, this is going to be different from DDT and the rules are set up to protect the wrestlers. They expect good morals to be on show from the new roster.

The schedule for shows has not been set up at the moment. Right now they are focusing on finding new talent and rookies to fill up the roster before holding their first show. In order to avoid conflict with the “Forbidden Three”, training is being done in a separate location away from the DDT School. In preparation for the new promotion, NOZOMI will make her return to the ring for the first time in almost two years on 17th June to compete for Union in Kitizawa. She does not see this as her return but as the re-debut of NOZOMI.
