Natsumi Maki & Hikari Noa approached The Magical Sugar Rabbits with urgent news after the main event. In order to prove they are ready to get another TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles shot they created a team name for themselves. Maki & Noa are now Pandemic Boo-Boo, or Pandeboo for short. They asked again for the title shot and the Rabbits agreed to it. The match will happen at Korakuen Hall on 3rd May. They offered to shake Pandeboo’s hands but Maki & Noa pulled back. Yuka Sakazaki promised to smash them because of this.

The Blue Racer is Noa’s Modified Cobra Twist submission on the ground.

Three new trainees introduced themselves to the public for the first time. Their names are Izumi (20 years old), Shiori (17 years old) and Mirai (19 years old).

News made its way to Japan that Miyu Yamashita won the SHINE Championship from Allysin Kay at yesterday’s WWN Supershow in New York.

For Pinano Pipipipi’s graduation match, a special Battle Royal was put together. Wrestlers would exit from the match if they were thrown over the top rope out of the ring or if they got a win inside the ring. The purpose was not so much to find a definitive winner but to give Pinano one big chance to beat somebody before her wrestling career ends. Many of the women were upset to say goodbye to their friend but they wrestled on. Even Misao showed a sign of her former self by using the Hero Correction System on Pinano when Pinano pleaded her to do it. In the end Pinano wasn’t able to beat anybody. Hikari Noa was the last to pin her, telling Pinano she loved her before doing the Uranage.

For the graduation ceremony Pinano was handed flowers from all of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster. The rest of the Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) joined her for one last performance of “Upper Kick”. Pinano said for a year and a half she’s been a part of this and she’s made so many wonderful friends. She will learn from this experience to make her next life enjoyable.


Off To New York, BASARA 8s, Itoh Challenges Kong

April 1, 2019

One last news update before I begin travelling for Mania week. The “DDT IS COMING TO AMERICA” guide is done and has been posted. I’ll be gone for two weeks but this time I’m bringing a laptop with me so results and maybe even a report will be posted in good time. The La Boom show will be the only DDT related wrestling event I’ll be attending during the week. Sadly that means missing their involvement with the Kaiju Big Battel shows which is a crossover I would have loved to see in person. But hey, maybe I’ll witness a sea lion win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title when I go visit the Central Park zoo or something.

Also I have one piece of advice for people going to New York for a long vacation during this period. Avoid the Knicks games. It’s just not worth it this season.

West Army: Ryota Nakatsu, Akiyori Takizara, Takumi Tsukamoto, Fuminori Abe, Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga

Every match will have an 8 minute time limit. Victory can be earned by an 8 second pin, an 8 second KO, an 8 second countout or if the opponent ignores a referee’s instruction for 8 seconds. BASARA posted this news two days ago so I don’t think this is an April Fools joke.

Yusuke Kubo is recovering from an injury from the last show and is unable to compete this week. Akiyori Takizara takes his place.

1. Special Single Match: Aja Kong Vs Maki Itoh

The Heisei era is over and so is Aja Kong along with it. At least that’s according to Maki Itoh. She also thinks the newly named Reiwa Era should have been called the Itoh Era. That girl is humble as always. Kong says Golden Week is very busy for her this year but she will willingly give up 10 minutes of her time to wrestle Itoh.

7. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) defeated Yuka Sakazaki with the Crash Rabbit Heat (19:16).
*V9 for Miyu Yamashita.

Tokyo Joshi Pro had the honour of being the final joshi wrestling promotion to hold a show inside Hakata Star Lanes before it closes down for good. In the main event Miyu Yamashita increased her record breaking TOKYO Princess Title reign to 9 successful defences by beating Yuka Sakazaki. Yamashita avoided getting counted out after Sakazaki gave her a Brainbuster onto the ring apron. She later had her opponent struggling to defend herself from kick after kick. But Sakazaki prevented the Crash Rabbit Heat and placed Yamashita in the centre of the ring with another Brainbuster. The challenger wanted to do the Magical Magical Girl Splash to win but Yamashita cut her off with a short range Crash Rabbit Heat, then hit it again to win the match. Yamashita said she was happy to defend the belt against her strongest opponent in one of the final shows at Hakata Star Lanes. That she was able to beat Sakazaki today only strengthens her confidence. Yamashita invited the entire Tokyo Joshi roster out for a commemorative group photo to close out the show.

Maki Itoh approached Aja Kong backstage after Kong’s match. Kong didn’t recognise Itoh, which Itoh took as an insult. Itoh said that Kong is from the Heisei era and her time is now up. The Itoh Era will take its place! She challenged Kong to a match at Korakuen Hall but Kong declined, saying she is too busy. Itoh hassled Kong asking if she has even 10 minutes of free time to do the match. Kong finally agreed and they will face each other one on one at Korakuen on 3rd May.

Hakata Star Lanes was the venue where Itoh had her first ever wrestling match. So she was pleased to grab a victory against Rika Tatsumi for her last match in the building. Itoh said it’s proof she really is a star, the star of Hakata Star Lanes! The building may go away but Itoh will still be found in Fukuoka.

Misao used a Chickenwing Facelock to submit Raku. The move is called Libera Me.

6. Yuka Sakazaki, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Miyu Yamashita, Reika Saiki & Marika Kobashi when Sakazaki pinned Kobashi with the Magical Magical Girl Splash (15:32).

Just one day away from the TOKYO Princess Title match and the challenger still won despite conserving her energy. Yuka Sakazaki admitted after the main event that she left most of the match to The Bakuretsu Sisters so she can be fresh and confident for tomorrow. She told the fans that the story hasn’t ended and everyone should look forward to hearing tomorrow’s result.

Yuna Manase was happy to see Misao for the first time in a while, unaware of her change in personality. Manase took out her USA hat and tried to make Misao dance with her. Misao tried to fight off the temptation and Sakisama attacked Manase to stop the dance. After the match Sakisama told Misao it’s a good thing she doesn’t need feelings because it was shameful how she almost fell for Manase’s antics. Misao apologised because weeds are weeds. She thanked Sakisama and said her only fate is to die for her.

It looked like Natsumi Maki and Maki Itoh were going to be on good terms when Maki offered a handshake before their match began. Itoh instead gave her the middle finger. Maki got the last laugh because Itoh missed the Flying Big Head and Maki pinned her with the Backlash. Itoh gave her the middle finger again after the match. When she left, Maki & Hikari Noa called out to Mizuki and asked for another shot at the TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles. Maki & Noa were only a new team when they got their first chance and lost but they have both grown since then.

With graduation/retirement just around the corner, Pinano Pipipipi didn’t hold back for one of her final wrestling matches. She got Shoko Nakajima to drop her guard by telling her how much she likes her, then attacked. Outside the ring on the ramp, Pinano Body Slammed Shoko Nakajima onto the ring apron. Nakajima used the ropes to reverse her fortunes, using it for a modified Neckbreaker as well as her 619s. Pinano tried to roll up Nakajima but it was countered into the Unmanned Local Train Hold for the finish.

Rika Tatsumi trapped both Haruna Neko & Pom Harajuku in a Double Dragon Sleeper to win the Handicap Match.
