TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION” Results

May 1, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 01/05/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
234 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. HIMAWARI defeated Toga with a Half Crab Hold (7:03).
2. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami when Suzume pinned Toribami with the Ring A Bell (13:11).
3. Gabai Ji-chan defeated Mahiro Kiryu with an Inside Cradle (9:11).
4. Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match: Sawyer Wreck defeated Hikari Noa with the Choke Slam onto Lighttubes (11:01).

Thanks to the existence of the “TJPW INSPIRATION” shows, Hikari Noa gets to live her dream of doing deathmatches. She did one already once before but her second go raised the level by a lot because it contained lighttubes! It is an environment that her opponent Sawyer Wreck is more used to and it showed with her throwing Noa into the lighttubes attached to the ropes. Noa’s back got cut up from being slammed but she got to smash a few lighttubes over Wreck in return. Wreck won in the end by Choke Slamming Noa onto a bundle. Noa admitted the pain turned out to be more than she imagined but she still had fun because she got to do what she loved in front of everyone she cares about. She wants to another death match and next time she wants it to involve barbed wire!

Mahiro Kiryu found herself in an awkward position because her opponent was Gabai Ji-chan. Every time she attacked her opponent she got booed by the fans because she was beating up the elderly. It didn’t help that Ji-chan stepped into the gap between the entrance ramp and wrestling ring during his entrance, needing more help to get in. Everyone also discovered that Ji-chan’s slow movements come from his walking stick. When Kiryu held onto it, her body suddenly changed to that of a senior citizen. The same happened to Daisuke Kiso which resulted in him giving the slowest count when Kiryu pinned Ji-chan. It was long enough for Ji-chan to kick out and when he caught Kiryu in an Inside Cradle, Kiso gave a fast three count. Backstage Ji-chan approached Kiryu and suggested they go fight for a championship together. She didn’t understand what he meant so she went home instead.

Daisy Monkey were victorious against Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami in a tag team match. Toribami put Suzume in the Bird Cage submission but it was countered into a Modified Neck Lock that Miyamoto had to break it up. Arisu Endo took out Miyamoto with the Waterwheel Drop and Suzume ended up pinning Toribami with the Ring A Bell.

A rookie showcase between HIMAWARI and Toga opened up the show. Toga tried to work her opponent’s leg but it was HIMAWARI who locked on a Half Crab Hold to make her submit.

The opening speech took place with Sayuri Namba joined by Shino Suzuki. The two of them ran down each of the matches then Namba tried to get Suzuki to sing for everyone because there was no Up Up Girls performance booked.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “PRECIOUS TIME” Results

April 29, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “PRECIOUS TIME”, 29/04/2023
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX
273 Fans

-. Nivea Presents Shinagawa 3-Woman Festival – Round 1: Suzume, Arisu Endo & Haruna Neko defeated Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Wakana Uehara by Forfeit.
1. Nivea Presents Shinagawa 3-Woman Festival – Round 1: Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Maki Itoh, Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo when Aino pinned Kazashiro with the Venus DDT (9:25).
2. Nivea Presents Shinagawa 3-Woman Festival – Round 1: Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & HIMAWARI defeated Mizuki, Yuka Sakazaki & Shino Suzuki when Tatsumi pinned Suzuki with the Twist Of Fate (10:22).
3. Nivea Presents Shinagawa 3-Woman Festival – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Toga when Misao pinned Toga with the Hypami Returns (?:??).
4. Hikari Noa defeated Wakana Uehara with the Blizzard Suplex (5:27).
5. Nivea Presents Shinagawa 3-Woman Festival – Semi-Final: Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & HIMAWARI when Raku pinned HIMAWARI with the Doctor Yellow (9:31).
6. Nivea Presents Shinagawa 3-Woman Festival – Semi-Final: Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & Haruna Neko when Nakajima pinned Neko with an Inverted Hurricanrana (7:32).
7. Sawyer Wreck defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Choke Slam (6:20).
8. Nivea Presents Shinagawa 3-Woman Festival – Final: Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami when Harajuku pinned Toribami with the Pom de Justice (15:05).

The “Love Triangle” of Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku showed off the strength of their bond by winning today’s trios tournament! Aino’s use of the Venus DDT got them past the opening round. Raku’s pillow was a key item in winning the semi-final because it was used to block Rika Tatsumi’s Hip Attack. Then came the final where the spotlight was put on Pom Harajuku. Aino got rid of Shoko Nakajima with the Venus DDT, Raku used the Doctor Yellow on Hyper Misao and it all led to Harajuku pinning Kaya Toribami with the Pom de Justice. It was the biggest win in Harajuku’s career. She promised not to cry during their victory speech but did so anyway.

Meanwhile the other team in the final called themselves Kyoraku Torimei but Misao thinks it may have been a mistake to use that name. Both Nakajima & Misao agreed it was time to disband the trio with Toribami but insist it is not Toribami’s fault. They praised her for showing guts and tenacity today but feel it is time for them to flap their wings towards their own bright futures.

The American death match wrestler Sawyer Wreck won her Tokyo Joshi Pro debut against Moka Miyamoto by throwing and slamming her around the ring. Backstage Wreck said she always dances with death and she will show her love of violence in the Lighttube Death Match against Hikari Noa on Monday. Wreck also took part in the Princess Of Princess Title contract signing with Mizuki that was held after the show. She asked if lighttubes would also be allowed in that match too? Mizuki said she will do her best because she thinks Wreck is underestimating her.

Tatsumi and Suzume also took part in the signing ceremony for their International Princess Title match. Suzume spoke about how much she admires Tatsumi. It was enough to make her become a pro wrestler without any experience in martial arts or entertainment. Tatsumi wants to defend her title 100 times. She is not taking this reign for granted so there is no room for her to make any mistakes again. She also thinks Suzume was knocking on the forbidden gate when she choked her in their last match together. Suzume does not believe she is stronger than Tatsumi but she proved in last year’s Tokyo Princess Cup she can beat her.

Yokohama Budokan

8. DDT Extreme Title – TLC (Toys, Ladders & Chairs) Match: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata
9. DDT Universal Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs MAO
10. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuji Hino (c) Vs Yuki “Not Sexy” Iino

MAO believes he has spoken no lies in his war of words with Endo. He gets frustrated whenever he sees Endo carrying the DDT Universal Title because he thinks he is more worthy of being the champion. Endo can see some of the points MAO has made over the last few weeks but does not understand why MAO thinks he is a better fit to be Universal Champion. He thinks the only way MAO can prove his point is if he beats him for the title.

Shunma Katsumata has already received a lot of toys from DDT fans to use in the TLC Match, including a box of Beyblades from the GM Hisaya Imabayashi.

The arrival of Rayne Leverkusen in DDT has Saki Akai feeling a little confused over what her opponent’s goal is. She understands her situation of trying to make your own path while being related to a famous celebrity but other than that she does not know what legacy Leverkusen will leave behind in DDT once she goes home. Leverkusen’s response is she is very passionate about pro wrestling and quit her job to do this tour of Japan and make a name for herself. Her wrestling career isn’t even two years old yet but she already holds three different championships. She brought up that if Akai beats her then she will have to defend one of those titles against her in a rematch.

The first two matches on the main card have been changed a little bit because of Keigo Nakamura’s injury. Yuya Koroku is moving down a match to take Nakamura’s place in the opener. Koroku’s original spot is now being taken by Diego! He is already in Japan and was invited to a recent DDT show by Katsumata. It will be his first match for DDT in almost six years!

During a press conference Chiitan used a baseball bat to destroy an 18-liter can to show its intention to beat Chris Brookes. Suddenly Brookes entered the room and attacked the mascot along with Akito. Brookes put Akito through a table with a Piledriver but Chiitan fought him off with the Shining Wizard and Tornado DDT. Akito was able to get back up and keep the two apart.

7. International Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Suzume

Osaka Suminoe Maikon Hall

1. Special Tag Match: Toru Owashi & “brother” YASSHI Vs Naruki Doi & Kazuki Hirata

2. Special Single Match WR ~Wrestling & Respect~: Yuki Ueno Vs HUB

The annual Osaka show put together by Yukinori Matsui will this time be headlined with Yuki Ueno Vs HUB. The story that ties these two together is the WR finishing move used by Ueno. It originally belonged to HUB back when he wrestled under the Super Dolphin gimmick (not Super Delphin but Delphin’s kayfabe brother). Also on the show is Magnitude Kishiwada’s 30th Anniversary match.

Also appearing on the show are Dick Togo, Shigehiro Irie, Kuishinbo Kamen, Kikutaro, No Name (Hibiscus Mii’s spooky nurse gimmick), Tsubasa, Black Buffalo, Yasu Urano and Kohei Kinoshita.

Kamifuku apologised during the match for acting like a more authentic Kiryu than Kiryu. After the match Mizuki admitted it’s difficult to become someone else. Suzume said she would be happy if her efforts made everyone feel like they say Kakuta wrestle today. Neko said she was nervous so she watched videos of Raku in order to become her. Kiryu said she has new respect for Neko because she isn’t able to behave as a catgirl like she does.

The show began with a Cooking Match between Yuka Sakazaki and Moka Miyamoto. The two were tasked with cooking up a Okonomiyaki but first they had to compete in mini-games with the winners getting to choose their ingredients. Miyamoto won the games of jump rope and building a card castle and another card game to receive cabbage and pork belly. Sakazaki was left with chocolate and marshmellow. However Sakazaki won the third game of cards but was convinced by the audience to pick coffee flavored jelly over seafood mix. They spent the rest of the show creating their meal to be served to Daisuke Kiso before the main event. Kiso enjoyed both dishes and unexpectedly chose Sakazaki as the winner. He liked Miyamoto’s dish because as a traditional Okonomiyaki but Sakazaki’s tasted so sweet and had the bonus of her improvising with unusual ingredients that it won him over in the end.

The 5 Way Match was held under Tetsuya Koda Seat King rules. Chairs were placed in the ring each with a stipulation attached to it. HIMAWARI sat down on the chair that said “No Touch Rope” so she had to play a game against Miu Watanabe where you had to pin your opponent against the ropes for 3 seconds to win. Watanabe overpowered HIMAWARI and held her down onto the middle rope to eliminate her from the match. Next, Watanabe sat on the chair that said “Illustration” so she had a drawing contest against Hyper Misao. Everytime somebody got a 1 Count pin they got to draw something in 30 seconds and it was up to Koda to guess what it is. Whoever got Koda to guess correctly would win. Watanabe drew a “Frilled Lizard” but Koda thought it was Kamen Rider. Misao drew a Seahorse and Koda correctly guessed it, eliminating Watanabe. The third game was a “TK Quiz” between Misao and Arisu Endo. They had to answer trivia questions about Koda after every 1 Count pin. They got questions about Koda’s birthday and what he ate for breakfast wrong but Endo correctly guessed his blood type is B so Misao was now out of the game. The final game was a Cheering Contest between Endo and Rika Tatsumi. If neither wrestler could beat each other in 3 minutes then Koda will choose the winner based on who got cheered more. When it was time to decide, Koda declared that Endo was the winner! Tatsumi got angry over the result and slapped Koda across the face, which got her more cheers than during the match.

Haru Kazashiro was welcomed into Tokyo Joshi Pro’s Tokusatsu Club by Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino. Kazashiro is taking Nodoka Tenma’s spot in the group so the other members expected her to be in the same base position for their standing stacked spot. She wasn’t strong enough to do it so Nakajima & Aino decided to carry her and charge into their opponents instead. That also didn’t work.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “CLIMB OVER ’23” Results

April 22, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “CLIMB OVER ’23”, 22/04/2023
Osaka Edion Arena #2
335 Fans

1. Shoko Nakajima, Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami defeated Mahiro Kiryu, Wakana Uehara & Toga when Nakajima pinned Uehara with the Northern Lights Suplex (10:28).
2. 3 Way Match: Raku defeated Hyper Misao and HIMAWARI when Raku pinned HIMAWARI with the Hurricane Turn (10:26).
3. Vert Vixen defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Game Over (6:31).
4. Yuki Kamifuku, Yuki Aino & Yuki Arai defeated Maki Itoh, Hikari Noa & Shino Suzuki when Aino pinned Suzuki with the Venus DDT (12:04).
5. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Tatsumi pinned Endo with the Twist Of Fate (14:10).
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) defeated Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku when Sakazaki pinned Harajuku with an Elbow Butt (11:38).
*V1 for The Magical Sugar Rabbits.

Sadly Pom Harajuku and her runaway monster tag partner Max The Impaler were unable to win the Princess Tag Team Titles. Max used Harajuku as a projectile many times during the match, throwing her onto both Magical Sugar Rabbits at every opportunity. However they missed the Wasteland War Justice on Yuka Sakazaki, giving Mizuki the chance to Double Stomp Harajuku. Sakazaki overpowered Max with the Magical Merry-Go-Round and then got into a strike exchange with Harajuku. The fans cheered for Harajuku as she hit Elbow Strike after Elbow Strike, but Sakazaki knocked her down with one big Elbow Smash in return and that was enough to get the three count.

Max carried Harajuku away from ringside while MagiRabi celebrated their victory. Sakazaki wiped away Max’s facepaint that had smudged Mizuki’s face. She quickly cleaned it off when Mizuki asked if the facepaint represents a symbol of Max’s friendship. They both praised Harajuku for being more lively today but can’t figure out if Max is treating her like a partner or like a toy. Backstage Harajuku was so upset over losing she cried. In a rare showing of compassion, Max wiped the tears away from her face.

We all know by now that Rika Tatsumi likes to choke her opponents. Well today Suzume choked her back in an effort to prove she is a serious challenger for the International Princess Title. However Tatsumi overpowered Suzume and choked her back Neck Hanging style. Despite that setback, Suzume is still confident she can win the title from Tatsumi.

The official name for the trio of Yuki Kamifuku, Yuki Aino & Yuki Arai is now Triple YUKI! Today was their second time all teaming together and they believe their combined power is infinite. After they won their match, Kamifuku gave Aino & Arai gummy bears as a reward. The other team’s vibes were not as nice though. Maki Itoh blamed Shino Suzuki for losing. Her criticisms were to motiviate Suzuki into doing better next time but Itoh then told Hikari Noa that she won’t be teaming with Suzuki again.

HIMAWARI was wrestling in a 3 Way Match for the first time so she had a lot to prove to the self-proclaimed “God Of 3 Ways” Hyper Misao. HIMAWARI was told she has to qualities to succeed in 3 Way Matches so Misao proposed they work together against Raku. They went on to fight Raku 2-on-1 but Raku got out of there with the win anyway. She capitalised on the alliance falling apart and then pinned HIMAWARI before Misao could break it up.

And Now I’m Almost Caught Up

April 20, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “CLIMB OVER ’23”, 22/04/2023
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. Shoko Nakajima, Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami Vs Mahiro Kiryu, Wakana Uehara & Toga
2. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao Vs Raku Vs HIMAWARI
3. Vert Vixen Vs Moka Miyamoto
4. Yuki Kamifuku, Yuki Aino & Yuki Arai Vs Maki Itoh, Hikari Noa & Shino Suzuki
5. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku

A contract signing was held for the Princess Tag Team Titles a few days ago. The Magical Sugar Rabbits and Pom Harajuku arrived to the building on time but Max The Impaler was nowhere to be seen. The three of them signed the contract anyway and gave comments about the upcoming match. Yuka Sakazaki said if Max does not show up for the title match then Harajuku will be too weak to wrestle by herself. Mizuki thinks the match will have to go ahead as a 2-On-1 Handicap match, which she thinks is convenient for her & Sakazaki. Harajuku was certain that Max would eventually show up and she was proven right. Max burst into the room, took a bite out of the contract, threw the remains at MagiRabi and then grabbed Harajuku and carried her out of the room. Sayuri Namba picked up the remains of the contract and declared it to be an official signature from Max so the title match will go ahead.

The potential next challengers could be coming out of the Daydream Vs Daisy Monkey match.

The trio known as Yuki Yuki Yuki are back teaming together to wrestle in front of a crowd for the first time. I don’t think they figured out who the team captain is yet.

Nao Kakuta is not on the show due to a schedule conflict. Also the teenagers Haru Kazashiro and Runa Okubo were not booked in order to avoid the burden of having to wrestle in Osaka and Tokyo on back to back days.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE UNIVERSE MEMBERS ONLY SHOW – PURE TOKYO JOSHI PRO WRESTLING 8”, 23/04/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Maki Itoh & Toga Vs Vert Vixen & Hikari Noa
2. Kaya Toribami Vs Max The Impaler
3. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs Raku, Shino Suzuki & Runa Okubo
4. Special Rules 5 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi Vs Miu Watanabe Vs Hyper Misao Vs Arisu Endo Vs HIMAWARI
5. Special Rules Match: Yuka Sakazaki Vs Moka Miyamoto
6. Costume Change Match: Mizuki, Yuki Kamifuku & Pom Harajuku Vs Suzume, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko

Everybody in the main event will be wrestling in somebody else’s costume.

Max The Impaler and Vert Vixen get to be the first foreign wrestlers to participate in Tokyo Joshi Pro’s fan club shows. Unless you count all of those last minute replacement gimmicks that always show up when somebody else gets unusually sick…

BASARA “BASARA 217 ~TAKAGARI 16~”, 30/04/2023
Takashimadaira Ward Community Center

1. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato
2. KUBITO Vs Masahiro Takanashi
3. Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura Vs Lil’ Kraken & Leo Isaka
4. FUMA Vs X
5. Elimination 6-Man Tag Match: Takumi Tsukamoto, Yasu Urano & Fuminori Abe Vs Ryota Nakatsu, SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa

Banana Senga’s schedule is preventing him from appearing in BASARA again until May so Takumi Tsukamoto has to keep himself busy until then. Tsukamoto leads Yasu Urano & Fuminori Abe to take on Sparky in an Elimination Tag Match.

A mystery opponent awaits for FUMA.

Lil’ Kraken & Leo Isaka are still teaming together like they promised after they failed to win the IRON FIST Tag Titles.

The next Ganbare☆Joshi show sees the return of Ami Manase and Marika Kobashi for a match between the two. Ami’s sister and the GanJo GM Yuna Manase will be in attendance.

Riara is taking part in another Exhibition match against Moeka Haruhi three days before her pro debut.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND ’23”, 05/05/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki Arai Debut 2nd Anniversary Match: Yuki Arai & Maki Itoh Vs Yuka Sakazaki & Shoko Nakajima
2. International Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Suzume
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Sawyer Wreck

Suzume thought it was impossible she would ever be a pro wrestler but Rika Tatsumi inspired her to do it. Now Suzume thinks it is impossible to beat Tatsumi and become the International Princess Champion. She’s done the impossible with the former so maybe she can do it again with the latter!

Yuki Arai fought against and lost to Maki Itoh in her debut match two years ago. They will now be tag partners for Arai’s 2nd Anniversary match. Their opponents are Sakazaki & Shoko Nakajima doing a Miraclians reunion.

GANBARE☆PRO “LOVE PHANTOM 2023”, 05/05/2023

2. Hong Kong International Policeman Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa
3. Special Single Match: Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Takuya Wada

Former Shooto and Pancrase champions are facing against each other in Ganbare☆Pro! For years now Shuichiro Katsumura has been wrestling under the GanPro banner but Takuya Wada has been a recent addition to the roster.

BASARA “BASARA 218 ~TAKAGARI 17~”, 13/05/2023
Takashimadaira Ward Community Center

1. Union MAX Title: Banana Senga (c) Vs Takumi Tsukamoto

When Senga is ready to return to BASARA he will put the Union MAX Title on the line against Tsukamoto. Senga found out he gets paid more money as a champion so he wants to earn enough money to get a hair transplant in Turkey (because it’s cheaper there than in Japan). Tsukamoto wants to be the MAX Champion again so he can try to break his tied record for the most title defences.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHIZUOKA IDOL FESTIVAL IN TSUMAGOI” Results

April 16, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHIZUOKA IDOL FESTIVAL IN TSUMAGOI”, 16/04/2023
Shizuoka Tsumagoi Resort Sai no Sato Multipurpose Plaza
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku defeated Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino when Max pinned Aino with a Pop-Up Lariat (16:00).
2. Vert Vixen & Hikari Noa defeated Maki Itoh & Raku when Vixen pinned Raku with the Game Over (12:07).
3. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Suzume & Shino Suzuki when Watanabe pinned Suzuki with the Tear Drop (17:42).

Rika Tatsumi spent some of the main event eating dorayaki and also force feeding Shino Suzuki some of it. She also ran off with Suzuki’s tour guide flag.

Vert Vixen picked up her first win in Tokyo Joshi Pro.

It seems that Pom Harajuku has gotten comfortable teaming with Max The Impaler. Max is still throwing her around whenever they get the chance to but the team has been working out for the two of them so far.

The Up Up Girls all performed songs at the event.

Hyper Misao was at the event providing live commentary for the crowd.
