GANBARE☆WRESTLING “I DO NOT NEED A COMIC MAGAZINE! 2019”, 28/09/2019

5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title – Itabashi Three Major Singles Match: Shuichiro Katsumura (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

Whoever leaves the show as the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion is guaranteed to defend it in Sumo Hall this November. Keisuke Ishii was the champion before Shuichiro Katsumura won it off him back in January. Since then Katsumura has defended it five times. If he wins here then he will tie Ishii’s amount of successful defences.

Just to be clear, Kenichiro Arai is the Toryumon graduate and Yumehito Imanari is the art student.

Shota and Shinichiro Tominaga face each other in a battle between damaged ACLs.

Originally Koharu Hinata was booked for the show but she is now unable to appear. In a completely unrelated matter Miss Koharu became available so she takes her place.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “MY LIFE; LET’S ENJOY!!”, 19/10/2019
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Misao (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa

Sakisama has an appreciation for other beautiful people which is why she has at least a little respect for Yuki Kamifuku. Maybe she would have the same for Mina Shirakawa if Shirakawa ever stops trying to rap. But then again rapping is how the Cat’s Pye duo got their Princess Tag Team Titles shot.

Nakajima’s excursion to Mexico with CMLL will be over by the time this show takes place. No word yet on if she will be on this show but it’s likely. Tokyo Joshi have confirmed she will not be on the 9th, 10th and 16th November shows.

The Princess Of Princess Title match for the show is set. Nakajima wanted Yuka Sakazaki to be her opponent. This match takes place two days before Nakajima goes to Mexico on her excursion so she is extra motivated to win and bring the title with her to CMLL.

1. Mirai Maiumi defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Lariat (5:52).
2. Maki Itoh defeated YUMI with the Itoh Special (7:23).
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa defeated Miyu Yamashita & Himawari Unagi when Shirakawa pinned Unagi with the Implant DDT (8:19).
4. Miu Watanabe, Hikari Noa & Raku defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku when Noa pinned Aino with the Uranage (12:13).
5. Sakisama & Misao defeated Rika Tatsumi & Suzume when Sakisama submitted Suzume with a Goku-rakugatame (11:26).
6. Shoko Nakajima & Mizuki defeated Dalys & Nodoka Tenma when Nakajima pinned Tenma with the Northern Lights Suplex (10:34).
7. International Princess Title: Yuna Manase defeated Natsumi Maki (c) with a Lariat (16:45).
*Natsumi Maki fails in V1. Yuna Manase becomes the 2nd International Princess Champion!

The first International Princess Title reign has been cut short over an unfortunate injury. The champion Natsumi Maki went into the match in less than 100% after suffering lower back pains from yesterday’s match. But while that did have an effect on some moves, it was Maki twisting her leg while taking the Neck Screw Hold from Yuna Manase that derailed their match. Maki was able to kick out of the pin but was unable to stand back up. She got out of the ring where the ringside attendants were able to check on her. A countout began but she got back into the ring at 18. She tried to continue fighting on one knee and refused to call off the match when asked. Maki eventually could stand back up but she was unable to walk. Manase hit a Lariat on Maki to win the championship under tragic circumstances. Manase didn’t celebrate her win. Instead she carried Maki on her back out of the ring. She was then encouraged to return and accept the title belt that she just won. Manase quickly thanked everyone for supporting Tokyo Joshi Pro and she is glad to have found this promotion.

It was announced at the start of the show that Shoko Nakajima will be going on excursion to Mexico this November. She will be gone for two weeks starting on 5th November and will be wrestling on CMLL shows during this period. But first she got to experience fighting against a luchadora by taking on Dalys in a tag match. Nakajima’s team won but Dalys pointed at the Princess Of Princess Title belt and shouted “Mexico!” after the match. Nakajima hopes she will still be the champion when she goes on her excursion so maybe a title defence against Dalys will be in store.

Opponents yesterday, partners today. Unfortunately the bond between Rika Tatsumi & Suzume couldn’t beat NEO Biishiki-gun. Even after the match Tatsumi was knocked away when she tried to confront Misao. When Tatsumi & Suzume left, Yuki Kamifuku entered the ring. She said that she wants to be as beautiful and cool as Sakisama. The best way to do that is challenge for the Princess Tag Team Titles with Mina Shirakawa! Her Cat’s Pye partner came out and said she already has a title belt but she wants to aim even higher by winning a Tokyo Joshi Pro championship. She started to rap about the challenge until Sakisama accepted so she would stop.

Hikari Noa finally gets her win over Yuki Aino.

1. Rika Tatsumi defeated Suzume with the Dragon Sleeper (7:06).
2. Yuki Aino & YUMI defeated Raku & Mahiro Kiryu when Aino pinned Kiryu with the Side Suplex (6:19).
3. 3 Way Match: Nodoka Tenma defeated Himawari Unagi and Pom Harajuku when Tenma pinned Harajuku with the Back Flip (6:09).
4. Miyu Yamashita defeated Mirai Maiumi with a Back Spin Kick (8:16).
5. Sakisama defeated Yuki Kamifuku with the Versailles Foot Choke (9:12).
6. Hikari Noa defeated Miu Watanabe with the Uranage (10:43).
7. Natsumi Maki, Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Yuna Manase, Maki Itoh & Mina Shirakawa when Sakazaki pinned Shirakawa with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (12:05).
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) defeated Misao with the Diving Senton (15:58).
*V3 for Shoko Nakajima.

Misao has been defeated for the first time since her transformation into Sakisama’s guardswoman. Shoko Nakajima was able to reach the ropes to break the Libera Me submission hold. She used a Double Arm DDT to put Misao in position and won with the Diving Senton. With her toughest challenge so far now behind her, Nakajima decided that the next Princess Of Princess Title match should be held at DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2019!” on 3rd November. She already decided on her opponent: Yuka Sakazaki! Together they will show DDT fans the best of Tokyo Joshi Pro at Sumo Hall! They did the Miraclians pose together to end the show. Sakazaki kind of forgot how to do it so Nakajima had to guide her.

Yuna Manase entered to new music. Mina Shirakawa wore the Best Body Japan Women’s Title that she won on 1st September down to the ring. Natsumi Maki mentioned feeling pain around her waist after her match and had to be carried away from the ring. It turned out to be minor and will not effect tomorrow’s International Princess Title defence against Manase. Maki noticed that Manase’s kicks today had more strength behind them than before.

Hikari Noa defeated Miu Watanabe in the latest match between members of the Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling).

Yuki Kamifuku lost to Sakisama but had enough energy left to call for her attention after the match. Kamifuku asked Sakisama what she thinks of her now? Kamifuku thinks she is working hard and doing so both happily and beautifully. She then asked Sakisama to please keep an eye on her. Sakisama surprised everyone by telling her she is looking forward to it.

Rika Tatsumi versus Suzume was a little emotional because the two have been friends since before Suzume trained to become a wrestler. Even though Tatsumi targeted Suzume’s legs in the match and could have beaten her with a Figure 4 Leg Lock, she instead decided to win with the Dragon Sleeper in order to show off her dragon skills. She thinks that hiding beneath Suzume’s pretty look is a strong and tenacious girl. Pro wrestling will bring that girl to the surface.

7. DAMNATION Vs ALL OUT!: Soma Takao, Tetsuya Endo & Puma King Vs HARASHIMA, Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura

A few injuries during the week alters tomorrow’s card. The light one is Sanshiro Takagi. He injured his right eye and is missing this show. He will be getting it further examined next week but hopes to be clear for Masahiro Takanashi’s show on the 15th. Gorgeous Matsuno took it upon himself to replace Takagi in Match #2.

The bad injury happened to Kazusada Higuchi during yesterday’s “UNIVERSE.1” show. He tore his right PCL and has no timetable for a return. He does not need surgery and will be aiming to recover as soon as possible. Ryota Nakatsu takes Higuchi’s place in Match #3.

DDT “PEANUT, YOU CAN GET SOME PROTEIN TOO! 2019”, 07/09/2019

Tomomitsu Matsunaga replaces Higuchi at the Chiba show.

DDT “CAMPSITE PRO WRESTLING 2019 ~THE PROMISED NATURE LAND~”, 08/09/2019
Yamanashi Natureland Om

1. Falls Count Anywhere 5 Way 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Yukio Sakaguchi & Antonio Honda Vs Konosuke Takeshita, MAO & Yuki Ueno Vs Shuichiro Katsumura, Ken Ohka & Keisuke Ishii Vs Isami Kodaka, FUMA & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Yuna Manase, Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa

Sadly this means Higuchi will be missing the campsite match as well. Yukio Sakaguchi replaces him here. Also SAGAT is sick with the flu so he is being substituted with Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi.

BASARA “BASARA 105 ~THE 2nd FOX PRINCE~”, 14/09/2019

Takato Nakano approached Sento Minzoku asking for a UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles shot. He gathered together Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano to be his partners.

Hopefully SAGAT will be well again in time for his Last Man Standing match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “KFC 2 DAYS ’19 ~TEMPLE OF THE SUN~”, 15/09/2019
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Nodoka Tenma Vs Himawari Unagi Vs Pom Harajuku
2. Yuki Aino & YUMI Vs Raku & Mahiro Kiryu
3. Rika Tatsumi Vs Suzume
4. Miyu Yamashita Vs Mirai Maiumi
5. Miu Watanabe Vs Hikari Noa
6. Natsumi Maki, Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki Vs Yuna Manase, Maki Itoh & Mina Shirakawa
7. Sakisama Vs Yuki Kamifuku
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Misao

With the new 2nd Gen belt over her shoulder, Shoko Nakajima is now even more motivated to defend the Princess Title. Her next challenger is the wrestler who has by far progressed the most among the roster this year, Misao. Ever since Misao shed her superhero persona and joined NEO Biishiki-gun she has gone from strength to strength.

I wonder if Sakisama holds a grudge with Yuki Kamifuku over her attempt to join NEO Biishiki-gun last year? Kamifuku joined the unit as an apprentice last May then quit after two weeks when she figured out it was a bad fit for her.

Miu Watanabe Vs Hikari Noa is a match to watch out for. The two members of the Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) have developed so much in the ring this year and part of the reason why is they branched out to other tag teams outside of their unit (Momoiro Sparkling for Watanabe and Pandemic Boo-Boo for Noa). Gotta be honest here, I think Raku is in danger of never catching up to them.

DDT “DRAMATIC SAINT INN☆ONISAN 2019”, 16/09/2019

4. Cody Hall & Antonio Honda Vs Makoto Oishi & Yukio Naya
5. Mizuki Watase Marunage Match ~ Advent Of God!! Falls Count Anywhere In Kurashiki Hardcore 6-Man Tag Match: Mizuki Watase, MAO & Asuka Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Kazusada Higuchi & Shunma Katsumata
6. DAMNATION Vs ALL OUT!: Soma Takao & Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Konosuke Takeshita & Akito
7. Kurashiki Specialty Beauty Area Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie Vs HARASHIMA, Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura

HARASHIMA and Tetsuya Endo continue their feud. The danger here is they could do so much damage to each other that there won’t be much left for Jiro Kuroshio to deal with at the end of the month.

No word yet on who will replace Higuchi in the Marunage match.

Gota Ihashi gets his Oretachi Pro Wrestling buddies into the opener.

6. Shoko Nakajima & Mizuki Vs Dalys & Nodoka Tenma
7. International Princess Title: Natsumi Maki (c) Vs Yuna Manase

Natsumi Maki and Yuna Manase kind of have a sisterly relationship going back to their early years in Actwres girl’Z (am I allowed to mention that place?). Manase pinned Maki in Maki’s first match since becoming the International Princess Champion so obviously Manase gets the first shot.

CMLL luchadora Dalys makes her Tokyo Joshi debut. The 10 year veteran from Panama is being thrown right into the top card mix.

7. Omuta Specialty! The Moon Came Out The Moon Came Out! Barisugo Special 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Akito & Yuto Aijima Vs HARASHIMA, Yuki Ueno & Yukio Sakaguchi

I guess Higuchi is missing the heavyweight 3 Way too.

1. Mirai Maiumi defeated Suzume with a Lariat (5:28).
2. Himawari Unagi & YUMI defeated Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Unagi submitted Harajuku with the Big Fuhen Hold (9:04).
3. Miyu Yamashita & Miu Watanabe defeated Gisele Shaw & Yuki Kamifuku when Yamashita pinned Kamifuku with the Attitude Adjustment (12:08).
4. Yuna Manase, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Natsumi Maki, Hikari Noa & Raku when Manase pinned Maki with a Lariat (10:13).
5. Su Yung defeated Maki Itoh with the Panic Switch (10:11).
6. Sakisama, Misao & Martha (w/ Yukio Saint Laurent) defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Rika Tatsumi & Antonio Honda when Misao pinned Tatsumi with the Vanitas (15:16).
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) defeated Mizuki with the Diving Senton (16:44).
*V2 for Shoko Nakajima.

For the second year in a row the Tokyo Princess Cup winner has failed to win their Princess Title challenge. The champion Shoko Nakajima appeared with the original TOKYO Princess Title belt and was given the new 2nd Gen Princess Title belt after defeating Mizuki. The match took a lot out of the wrestlers. Nakajima couldn’t hold her pinning posture after hitting the Northern Lights Suplex. She was able to keep control and pinned Mizuki with the Diving Senton. In her backstage interview, Mizuki admitted that she is not the kind of person who wants to be a main character yet this past summer she overcame many challenges. So she was in fact motivated to become the main character. It was a hard summer for her but she still had fun.

When Nakajima received the new belt she said it felt like she just won a championship for the first time again. She wants to continue winning matches so she can get familiar with holding the belt. Misao came out and congratulated Nakajima, then gave her condolences because today will be the last time Nakajima successfully defends the title. Misao already has the Princess Tag Titles but that is not enough to satisfy her. Nakajima accepted her challenge. She ended the show by saying Osaka has been invaded by the Big Kaiju. She next wants to invade all of Japan!

The entire active members of NEO Biishiki-gun were victorious over the trio of Yuka Sakazaki, Rika Tatsumi & Antonio Honda. The maid Martha used her mop as a weapon and Yukio Saint Laurent used his injections to knock out Honda & Sakazaki. Tatsumi continued to fight on her own but Misao pinned her with the Vanitas. Sakisama credited her presence in Osaka as the reason why the Hanshin Tigers won their baseball game today.

Gotta give it to Maki Itoh, she was just as determined to scare Su Yung with her screams as Yung was trying to scare her. Their screams together were enough to scare away Daisuke Kiso. Yung blinded Itoh with Red Mist but Itoh tried to fight on by applying a Sleeper Hold. Yung countered it by lifting Itoh onto her shoulders to do the Panic Switch for the win.

After last week’s career high, Natsumi Maki was sent crashing back down to Earth when Yuna Manase pinned her in a trios match. Manase used a Lariat to counter the Backlash. They talked about their history together and how they are like sisters. That led to Manase challenging Maki for the International Princess Title. Maki accepted and said she won a championship within four years of wrestling while Manase hasn’t won any title in seven.

Momoiro Sparkling bounced back from their failed Princess Tag Titles match last week by beating Gisele Shaw & Yuki Kamifuku. Shaw is still looking for a way to avenge her defeat in England to Miyu Yamashita.

The hometown hero Himawari Unagi picked up the win in her tag match.

Mirai Maiumi won her first singles match by beating the other rookie Suzume. Maiumi entered the ring with a Japanese fishing flag with a good fortune written on it. She explained that she grew up near the ocean and her ring name also contains the kanji for “Sea” (海 / umi). She wants to express the feeling of the ocean when she wrestles.

Ohka’s example is the jacket and ten gallon hat he wore during his absence from Ganpro shows last year.

Cody Hall is the mystery wrestler in the opener. He met Antonio Honda and got along with him because the Gongitsune hand gesture resembles the Wolfpac gesture that Cody’s dad Scott Hall is known for.

The grudge between HARASHIMA and Tetsuya Endo has gotten both of them a title match. They wanted the next shot at the DDT Extreme Title but got in each other’s way. Jiro Kuroshio doesn’t want to wait for a single challenger to be determined so he decided to face both of them at the same time.

BOYZ “(BRAND NEW) BOYZ 1 -DDT SPECIAL EDITION-”, 20/10/2019
Tokyo Belle Epoque Beauty School 2nd School Hall

1. Plump BOYZ: Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Kouki Iwasaki
2. MAO UK Expedition BOYZ Send Off Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs MAO
3. Yukihero Pro Wrestling Collaboration Match: Shunma Katsumata & Mizuki Watase Vs Kazuki Hirata & Hiroshi Yamato

The BOYZ brand is getting a fresh start under Akito’s management. Wrestlers booked on the first show will also be appearing at the SHIBUYA FASHION AWARD-BE Vint-Age 2019 festival the same day to promote a fashion brand called Yukihero Pro Wrestling. The main event will feature the wrestlers involved wearing costumes from that clothing line.

Akito doesn’t remember ever seeing MAO wrestle Takeshita in a singles match so he decided to book it before MAO’s excursion. Kouki Iwasaki is being booked on BOYZ because Akito wants to see him interact with DDT wrestlers more often. Higuchi and Yuki Iino are also being booked despite their alliance to the YaroZ brand. Akito believes there are women at these shows who find those kind of men attractive too. Akito plans to present them in a way that makes them more suitable for the BOYZ brand. DAMNATION wrestlers are disallowed except for Nobuhiro Shimatani because he works under Akito at the Drop Kick Bar.

81 wrestlers in total have been booked for the show and each promotion’s main championship will be defended in their own matches.

Kenny Omega returns to wrestle in DDT after a five year absence. A lot has changed since then but for now the people he wanted in his match are his biggest rival (Honda), his first tag partner (Riho, not “him”) and the wrestler who possibly might have caught his attention the most (Miyu Yamashita). Will there be more coming out of this? Wouldn’t be a party without surprises, would it?

*Natsumi Maki becomes the 1st International Princess Champion!
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Misao (c) defeated Miyu Yamashita & Miu Watanabe when Misao pinned Watanabe with the Vanitas (17:25).
*V2 for NEO Biishiki-gun.

NEO Biishiki-gun continue to reign as the Princess Tag Team Champions. The new Momoiro Sparkling team worked well together but the gap between them and the champions was too wide for them to handle. The history between Miyu Yamashita and Sakisama came back to the spotlight when they were in the ring together while Misao enjoyed torturing Miu Watanabe. The challengers had their moment to shine when Watanabe gave Sakisama a Giant Swing then put Misao in the Canadian Backbreaker. Yamashita then jumped off the top rope and hit a Diving Knee to Misao while she was still in the hold. However NEO Biishiki-gun used a 3D to get rid of Yamashita and Misao got the pin on Watanabe with the Vanitas.

Sakisama told Misao that the path she chose was the right one. Misao agreed. She hated this world until she found Sakisama and won the tag titles with her. Together they are searching for a new landscape to create a new strong, noble and beautiful world. Sakisama & Misao were joined in the ring by Martha and Yukio Saint Laurent to close out the show. Sakisama reminded everyone that the four of them will be fighting together in Osaka on 1st September.

The first International Princess Champion has been crowned and it is Natsumi Maki! She won a hard fought battle against Gisele Shaw to earn the honour. Shaw almost won with a Spanish Fly from the top rope. However when Shaw went to climb the turnbuckles again Maki threw her off with German Suplex. Another German Suplex came shortly afterwards to give Maki the victory. Maki said she has been waiting for a moment like this for so long that she still doesn’t believe it is happening. Since it is an international championship, she hopes to go abroad to defend it. She also mentioned Miyu Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki and Maki Itoh as opponents she wants to defend against. Whatever it takes to make the championship valuable!

The debuting Suzume was thrown straight into the fire when the first person she faced off with was Shoko Nakajima! She got to hit a Diving Cross Body to Nakajima thanks to a Lariat set up for Mirai Maiumi. However Riho got in and hit Suzume with the 619. From there Nakajima did the Rider Kick and went for the Northern Lights Suplex. Suzume fought out of it but Nakajima dropped her with a Double Arm DDT then finished her off with the Northern Lights. Suzume appreciated the cheers from the crowd but she felt so overwhelmed by her opponents that she couldn’t do anything against them. Nakajima & Riho were happy to team up as the Twin Cam Monsters after a long time away from each other. Riho mentioned she will be busy wrestling in Stardom but she would like to wrestle in Tokyo Josho Pro again when the chance comes. She wants to continue what she has built with Nakajima.

The rivalry between Maki Itoh and Mizuki was brought back to the foreground with their latest match. Itoh quickly went for the World’s Cutest Knuckle Punch but Mizuki escaped. The two fought outside where Itoh grabbed a microphone and used the cord to strangle Mizuki against the ring post! Itoh even asked “Who is the cutest in the world” on the microphone while she was choking Mizuki. Back in the ring the two scrambled for submission holds from the Face Lock to the Itoh Special. Itoh used a Headbutt to block a Cross Body but Mizuki then beat her down with Elbow Strikes. Mizuki hit the Diving Double Stomp but did not go for the pin. Itoh struggle to get up and when Mizuki approached her, she stuck out the middle finger. Mizuki pushed her hand away and hit the Cutie Special for the win.

After the match Itoh cried into the microphone. She said she wanted to be in the leading role this summer. She now realises that Mizuki is in that leading role, not her. Itoh will now play the supporting role for Mizuki because that way she will still have an influence on how the big story plays out.

Yuka Sakazaki Vs Su Yung promised to be a chaotic match and delivered. Sakazaki quickly fled the ring when made her entrance. She went over to Tetsuya Koda and took his shoes and socks to defend herself with. Yung caught up with Sakazaki and they fought around the room. Sakazaki placed Yung flat on a table and slid her down the stairs. She then put Yung through the table with the Magical Girl Splash from the entrance gate. She threw Yung back into the ring but Yung kicked out of the pin. Yung spat Poison Mist and Sakazaki but she had her face protected from getting blinded. Yung went for the Mandible Claw so Sakazaki did the same move with Koda’s sock covering her hand. The two claws were thrown into Daisuke Kiso’s face, knocking him out. Yung and Sakazaki then applied the claws to each other at the same time, knocking each other out. Yukinori Matsui came down to replace Kiso and he called the match off because everyone was unconscious.

Yuna Manase, Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa are now being called Cat’s Pye. Shirakawa even created a rap song for the three of them to enter the ring to. Their new unit went off to a successful start with a win over Rika Tatsumi, Nodoka Tenma & Raku.

Himawari Unagi has been using the Big Fuhen Hold for a while but today was the first time she won a match with it.

The show began with Yuki Aino defeated Hikari Noa. It took a Side Suplex, a Full Nelson style Camel Clutch and then the Venus DDT for the finish. Noa said she is doing everything she can but she is getting angry at herself for her irresponsible nature. She will use today’s result as a way to take a proper look at herself. Aino is happy to win matches on her own with the level of power she has now.

Tokyo Joshi will return to Korakuen Hall on 4th January, 2020.

A few relationship situations to look out for on this show. Has The Iron Family truly put their differences aside now that FUMA is on Team Dove Pro? How will Daichi Kazato gel with Best Stretchman Amazon now that he is only partially possessed by Best Stretchman V3? Last, the opener is between Takato Nakano and Masato Kamino who regularly team together.
