April 21, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THAT’S J-PW”, 22/04/2021
WRESTLE UNIVERSE

1. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Haruna Neko

Tomorrow sees Yuki Kamifuku and Haruna Neko appear in “THAT’S J-PW” for the first time.

DDT “MAX BUMP 2021 TOUR IN NAGANO”, 25/04/2021
Nagano City Museum of Art Act Space

2. Tetsuya Endo & Yuji Hino Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuya Koroku
3. Chris Brookes & Toui Kojima Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai
4. The 37KAMIINA Vs DAMNATION!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & MAO Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Mad Paulie
5. DDT Nagano Sales Manager Toru Owashi (Free) Local Triumph! 20th Anniversary Of Debut “Owashi And His Delightful Friends Part 8” Special 6-Man Tag Match: Toru Owashi, Akito & Kazuki Hirata Vs Danshoku Dieno, Antonio Honda & Yukio Naya
6. Shinshu! Chashu! Minanoshu! Nagano Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Yusuke Okada Vs HARASHIMA, Yuki Iino & Keigo Nakamura

Mizuki Watase is still recovering from his arm injury and won’t be able to wrestle on the show. He originally targeted the Nagano show as the location for his return match. He will still be in attendance to greet the fans.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND 2021 ~WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR DREAMS~”, 04/05/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki Arai Debut Match: Maki Itoh & Arisu Endo Vs Miu Watanabe & Yuki Arai
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel (c) Vs Mirai Maiumi & Suzume
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

A ring full of idols will welcome Yuki Arai to the wrestling business. Arai already named Maki Itoh as a future opponent she wanted to wrestle. She also sees Arisu Endo as her closest senpai so it makes sense for those two to be her opponents. Miu Watanabe wants to bridge the gap between idols and wrestlers which makes her the perfect person for Arai to tag with. Arai promised she will do her best to get everyone’s approval. That kind of attitude doesn’t impress Itoh. She’ll see what Arai is like in the ring but she’s not excited about it.

DDT “MAX BUMP 2021”, 04/05/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Akito Vs Mad Paulie
2. 3 Way Match To Bring Back The Smile On Kikutaro’s Face After All He’s Been Through: Danshoku Dieno Vs Antonio Honda Vs Kikutaro
3. 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & MAO Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Yuji Hino Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Yuki Iino
4. Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Yusuke Okada Vs HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata
5. KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles: Sanshiro Takagi, Yukio Naya, Chikara & Nabe Yakan (c) Vs Keigo Nakamura, Hideki Okatani, Toui Kojima & Yuya Koroku
6. DDT Extreme Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Chris Brookes (E/c) Vs Saki Akai (I/c)
7. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Soma Takao

Did you enjoy Konosuke Takeshita’s quick stay in AEW? I bet he’ll go back eventually. The timing suggests he is back in Japan now and self isolating before he can return to action in DDT. Waiting for him is his friends in The 37KAMIINA for a massive free for all against DAMNATION and Eruption plus former ally Yuki Iino.

The recent incident in America caused Kikutaro to lose his smile. It’s up to Danshoku Dieno and Antonio Honda to bring it back!

DDT “AUDIENCE 2021 TOUR IN HAMAMATSU”, 05/05/2021
Shizuoka Create Hamamatsu Hall

5. DAMNATION Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao, Yuji Hino & Hiroshi Yamato Vs Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & MAO
6. Shizuoka Hero Makoto Oishi Triumphant Return! Hamamatsu Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Hideki Okatani Vs HARASHIMA, Yuki Iino & Toui Kojima

Match #4 does not sound suitable for children at all.

DDT “ULTIMATE TAG LEAGUE 2021 IN KORAKUEN HALL!!”, 09/05/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Tetsuya Endo, Soma Takao & Mad Paulie Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Saki Akai & Yuki Iino
2. 4 Way Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Yukio Naya Vs Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine Vs Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Akito & Keigo Nakamura
3. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Yusuke Okada
4. Naomi Yoshimura Return Match: HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yuki Ueno & MAO
5. Ultimate Tag League 2021: Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi Vs Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
6. Ultimate Tag League 2021: Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Yuji Hino

The 4 Way Tag Match show some of the teams that could have been in the Ultimate Tag League. I think we’re good with what we got instead.

Shiori To Graduate From TJPW, Manase Challenges Pandita, Title Matches Added To “Yes! Wonderland 2021”

April 19, 2021

Sudden news came out this morning that Sena Shiori will be graduating from Tokyo Joshi Pro on 24th April. She revealed she has been getting treatment for a chronic illness that’s been with her since before her debut match. She was able to go ahead with wrestling while the company watched over her condition for her safety. However Shiori’s doctor is now advising her to stop wrestling so she can concentrate on her treatment in order to make a full recovery. After discussions with TJPW, Shiori decided to graduate from pro wrestling after she achieved her first victory this past weekend in Korakuen Hall. She thanks everyone who supported her pro wrestling life and promised to do her best at her final match on the 24th.

BASARA “BASARA 155 ~GLITTER~”, 20/04/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Yusuke Kubo, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato Vs Minoru Fujita, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga
2. 3 Way Match: Fuminori Abe Vs Gouma Vs Yasu Urano
3. FUMA Vs Takato Nakano
4. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT
5. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Masato Kamino

According to BASARA, the show meets regulations set by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s countermeasures against Coronavirus. That means fans are allowed to cheer but they are still required to wear masks to cover their mouths and noses.

BAKUHA KOSHIEN “BAKUHA KOSHIEN 2021 SPRING”, 02/05/2021
Kanagawa Tsurumi Fruit & Vegetable Market

1. Bakuha Koshien Spring Tag Tournament – Round 1: Sanshiro Takagi & Yukio Naya Vs Shunma Katsumata & MAO
2. Bakuha Koshien Spring Tag Tournament – Round 1: Atsushi Onita & Yumehito Imanari Vs Super Sasadango Machine & Tetsuhiro Kuroda
3. Joshi Pro Wrestling Match: Yuna Manase Vs Mecha Pandita
4. Chris Brookes Vs Shota
5. Bakuha Koshien Spring Tag Tournament – Final – Current Blast Death Match: X & X Vs X & X

Chris Brookes and Shota have their first ever singles match against each other. The two have a lot of respect for each other.

Yuna Manase challenged Mecha Pandita to a match. The robot still had some glitches that need to be ironed out but should be good to go.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND 2021 ~WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR DREAMS~”, 04/05/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki Arai Debut Match: Yuki Arai Vs X
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel (c) Vs Mirai Maiumi & Suzume
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

The strongest champion should get the strongest challengers which is why Rika Tatsumi picked Miyu Yamashita as her No. 1 Contender. They fought over the Princess Of Princess Title during Golden Week once before. That was when Yamashita was the champion and she won that match against Tatsumi. Now the roles are reversed and Tatsumi is using her title reign to pick off big name opponents.

NEO Biishiki-gun are the new Princess Tag Team Champions with Sakisama leading a loyal servant to the belts for the third time. Their first challengers BeeStar became the top contenders by winning the 3 Way Tag Match in an upset against The Magical Sugar Rabbits and Kyoraku Kyomei. In an act of grace and arrogance, Sakisama is allowing Mirai Maiumi & Suzume time to prepare for their title match. Mei Saint-Michel meanwhile is already growing attached to the belts. Best be careful trying to take them from her.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STILL INCOMPLETE” Results

April 17, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STILL INCOMPLETE”, 17/04/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
510 Fans

1. Marika Kobashi & Sena Shiori defeated Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo when Shiori submitted Watanabe with the Checkmate (8:39).
2. Miu Watanabe, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Yuna Manase, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko when Raku pinned Neko with the Doctor Yellow (10:10).
3. Miyu Yamashita defeated Hikari Noa with the Skull Kick (9:30).
4. 3 Way Tag Match: Mirai Maiumi & Suzume defeated Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki and Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao when Maiumi pinned Nakajima with the Lariat (10:40).
5. International Princess Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) defeated Nao Kakuta with the Famouser (9:02).
*V3 for Yuki Kamifuku.
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino (c) when Saint-Michel pinned Aino with a Cradle (17:36).
*The Bakuretsu Sisters fail in V3. NEO Biishiki-gun becomes the 8th Princess Tag Team Champions!
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) defeated Maki Itoh with the Missile Hip (19:36).
*V2 for Rika Tatsumi.

The middle fingers went a flying in the Princess Of Princess Title match. When Maki Itoh attempted to apply the Itoh Special, Rika Tatsumi gave her the finger. Itoh bit it so Tatsumi gave her the finger with her other hand only for Itoh to bite that too. The distraction threw Itoh off her game anyway and Tatsumi caught her in the Dragon Sleeper. Itoh survived being choked out by raising her own middle fingers into the air. She had a last gasp at victory by rolling Tatsumi into the Itoh Royal but only got a two count out of it. Tatsumi used a Hip Attack to cut off her opponent’s momentum. She then hit the Twist Of Fate and pinned Itoh with the Missile Hip from the top rope.

Tatsumi praised Itoh for her efforts and asked her to come back for a fist bump. Itoh stuck her middle finger in Tatsumi’s face instead and left. Tatsumi then called for Miyu Yamashita’s attention. Three years ago Yamashita gave her a title shot in the main event of Korakuen Hall during Golden Week. Tatsumi couldn’t beat her then but things are different now. She wants to be the strongest champion and to do that she needs to beat the strongest challengers. That means Tatsumi wants to defend the belt against Yamashita next! She asked if Yamashita is prepared to take the challenge? Yamashita responded by slapping Tatsumi across the face. Tatsumi slapped her back and said their title match will happen on the 4th May Korakuen show.

The first “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart winners barely won the Princess Tag Team Titles by the skin of their teeth. The Bakuretsu Sisters did the smart thing by getting rid of Sakisama. That was set up when Yuki Aino blocked Sakisama’s Apron PK and held her on her shoulders so Nodoka Tenma could his the Bakuretsu Bulldog onto the floor. That left Mei Saint-Michel scrambling to continue fighting by herself. Tenma gave her the Killswitch and it looked to be all over. However, Saint-Michel suddenly Cradled Tenma and got the three count for the shock result.

Sakisama asked Saint-Michel how she was feeling now they are the champions? “C’est bien!” Now that she has her own championship belt that matches with Sakisama’s, she thinks she has achieved her goal of becoming a fully fledged maid! Suddenly, BeeStar entered the ring to cut off her victory speech, causing Saint-Michel to freeze on the spot. Mirai Maiumi apologized for the interruption but she wants to challenge NEO Biishiki-gun for the Princess Tag Titles. Suzume admitted they’ve been beaten by the new champions before but they are not the same now as they were back then. BeeStar will beat them to evolve even more! Sakisama told BeeStar she doesn’t remember who they are. She also doesn’t have time right now because she is very busy playing the new Monster Hunter. So Sakisama is giving BeeStar two weeks to improve because they will get their title match on 4th May.

With three defences achieved, Yuki Kamifuku now has the most successful International Princess Title run in the championship’s short history. Her grudge with Nao Kakuta over glamour against normality has also been settled with today’s result. Kakuta’s attempt to use her Shiden Kai finisher was countered into the Famouser. Kamifuku also used her long legs to fight out of a Crossface Lock, hit a Dropkick and used another Famouser to get the win. They shook hands and Kakuta told the press afterwards that during the handshake Kamifuku quietly apologized for calling her ugly.

BeeStar were the last team standing in Tokyo Joshi Pro’s first ever 3 Way Tag Match. The rules put in place allowed no tags so it was more of a tornado tag team affair. To make things even more unusual, the Kyoraku Kyomei team had a difference of opinion that led to Hyper Misao offering to team with The Magical Sugar Rabbits while Shoko Nakajima wanted to side with BeeStar. It turned out to be a trick and the two were still together all along. The match was frantic with different pairings going at it. BeeStar got rid of MagiRabi when Maiumi hit Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki with a Double Lariat. Nakajima grabbed Suzume for the Northern Lights Suplex but that left her vulnerable for Maiumi to hit her with the Lariat and win the match.

Hikari Noa still has a lot to learn if she wants to beat the likes of Yamashita. She’s gotten stronger by having the Hardcore Match a while ago but was a bit too eager to charge into a Front Kick at the corner. That gave Yamashita the opening to hit the Skull Kick.

Raku getting the win for her team turned out to be special because today is her mother’s birthday. Both Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku sang “Happy Birthday to Raku-chan’s mom” backstage when she told them about it. Yuna Manase motivated Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko to continue doing their best even though they lost. Even though Manase is in a different promotion now, she is still watching over TJPW and wants everyone to meet her expectations.

The opening match saw Sena Shiori earn her first victory with a new submission move. The Checkmate is an Arm Clutch Half Crab Hold and Shiori made Moka Miyamoto submit to it. It is a move Shiori has been thinking about because using a normal Crab Hold wasn’t working for her. She thanked Marika Kobashi for teaming with her and said it is really encouraging to work with Kobashi. Both Miyamoto and Arisu Endo are left waiting for another day to get their first win.

Yuki Arai introduced herself to the fans at the start of the show. She is still worried about her debut wrestling match on 4th May while also working as an idol. She wants to grow from here so everyone can say her debut match was a success.

The 2021 Tokyo Princess Cup will be held across multiple shows during the summer. The first two rounds will be held at Shin-Kiba 1st RING from 22nd to 25th July. The quarter finals will be held in Shinjuku FACE on 31st July. The final rounds will be held in Korkauen Hall on 15th August.

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: HARASHIMA & Yuji Okabayashi (c) Vs Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi

Just to remind everyone, the leader of Junretsu is Makoto Oishi, not Jun Akiyama. However Oishi hasn’t achieved the results that a man with his position should be getting. He can spin that around by winning the KO-D Tag Team Titles with Akiyama right before the Ultimate Tag League 2021 begins. What motivates Akiyama to win is so he can appear on the cover of Weekly Pro-Wrestling again with a cool picture this time. The cover of the current issue shows his head stuck in Danshoku Dieno’s tights and he finds it embarrassing. HARASHIMA is excited to defend the tag titles in Niigata for the first time ever. Yuji Okabayashi is excited to fight against the mighty Akiyama & Oishi. Both Akiyama and HARASHIMA will not let the result of this match shake their confidence going into “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021”.

5. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Masato Kamino

A big test for Takato Nakano fresh off of his match with Isami Kodaka. If it is his time to step up a level then beating FUMA would do that for him.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND 2021 ~WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR DREAMS~”, 04/05/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki Arai Debut Match: Yuki Arai Vs X

This week Tokyo Sports reported that SKE48 idol Yuki Arai was going to attend this weekend’s Tokyo Joshi Pro show in Korakuen Hall. Arai, who in 2018 wrestled a match in DDT and is a former Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion, was expected to announce she was joining TJPW to become an active pro wrestler and her “re-debut” match was taking place on 4th May. TJPW pushed their announcement to today and confirmed the news is true.

Arai’s previous involvement with pro wrestling outside of DDT was with the Tofu Pro Wrestling project where she used the name Bubbly Arai. When she had her match in DDT, Sanshiro Takagi was impressed with her performance and has held discussions with SKE48 management since then over getting her to continue wrestling. Arai wants to work as both an idol and a pro wrestler so for the moment her deal is to wrestle one match a month while Miyu Yamashita helps trains her. She is currently preparing her theme music and wrestling outfit. One of her goals is to avenge losing the Iron Man Title to Maki Itoh. Also attending the show is another SKE48 idol, Jurina Matsui. She will be there to support Arai.

1. Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Yusuke Okada Vs HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata
2. KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles: Sanshiro Takagi, Yukio Naya, Chikara & Nabe Yakan (c) Vs X, X, X & X
3. DDT Extreme Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Chris Brookes (E/c) Vs Saki Akai (I/c)
4. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Soma Takao

Yuki Ueno is taking it personally when Soma Takao calls him a weak champion. He’s beaten some amazing wrestlers in his title reign and he feels bad for them when Takao pinned him at Korakuen last weekend. It’s a frustrating feeling but it made him think. It would be frustrating for Takao is if he loses to the “weak champion” in a main event championship match at Korakuen Hall. So Ueno convinced Hisaya Imabayashi to make the DDT UNIVERSAL Title match the main event of “MAX BUMP 2021”. Takao complained and said he should be fighting the weak champion in the dark match. He agreed to it anyway because he thinks Ueno will only nominate weak replacements if he turned it down. He got under Ueno’s skin further by pouring a drink over his head during the press conference.

The double title match will not have any extra stipulations added to it. Chris Brookes decided it will be a normal singles match after he thought about Saki Akai’s challenge to him last week. He found out Akai last had a singles title match five years ago and she only got the shot by winning a Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament. He has a lot of respect for her and wants to show it by facing her in a regular rules match. Akai understands she might lose this match 99 times out of 100 but she will take that chance to become a double champion.

Kikutaro will be on the show. He had trouble travelling to America last month using an ESTA instead of his work visa because it expired. The immigration officer checking him believed he was trying to enter the country illegally to work. Kikutaro claims he was only visiting to sort out a matter with his home in Las Vegas. The result was Kikutaro getting detained for two days and then deported back to Japan. He thinks he was discriminated against and is trying to clear his name through the Japanese Embassy. For now he has to stay in Japan.

DDT “ULTIMATE TAG LEAGUE 2021 IN KORAKUEN HALL!!”, 09/05/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Yusuke Okada
2. Naomi Yoshimura Return Match: HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yuki Ueno & MAO
3. Ultimate Tag League 2021: Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi Vs Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
4. Ultimate Tag League 2021: Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Yuji Hino

Naomi Yoshimura gets his wish. Yuki Ueno will be one of his opponents in his return match. DISASTER BOX will be further represented with HARASHIMA involved. There’s no hard feelings over Ueno leaving the unit for The 37KAMIINA. At least I don’t think there is. MAO will do something to annoy them probably.
