Well, Ken Ohka pulled it off. He announced that Hiroshi Tanahashi will return to DDT for the #OhkaEmpire show on 28th November to face HARASHIMA for the first time since “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2015”. The match will be HARASHIMA & Ohka Vs Tanahashi & Yohei Komatsu. HARASHIMA thanked Ohka, Danshoki Dino & Muscle Sakai for negotiating the match. He also thanked Tanahashi and New Japan for accepting the offer. He promises to do his best. Meanwhile Ohka’s message for Tanahashi is HARASHIMA will win, win, win!

The Omori World Title changed hands in the semi-main event. Makoto Oishi had some help from Danshoku Dino’s rear end to defeat Gurukin Mask. After the match the Rocky theme played over the speakers and Seiya Morohashi was carried to ringside by Kazusada Higuchi, Ryota Nakatsu and Tetsuya Endo. Morohashi said he will win the title but Oishi is determined to keep the title until the end of his career.

Morohashi last eliminated Dino to win the Battle Royal. He pinned Dino with a Diving Headbutt to the crotch. He will face Oishi for the Omori World Title on next year’s JR Omori Station show.

Sanshiro Takagi accidentally took a powerful Chop from Chikara that led to him getting pinned by Hiroshi Fukuda. Takagi stays as King Of Dark Champion because of this.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GO UP HIGHER!” Results

October 17, 2015

biishikigun-farwell

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GO UP HIGHER!”, 12/10/2015
Kitazawa Town Hall
261 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Erin defeated MIZUHO with the Grilled Dumpling Lock (7:17).
2. Nonoko defeated Azusa Takigawa with the Pie Fly Flow (9:28).
3. 3 Way Match: Akane Miura defeated Shoko Nakajima and Hyper Misao when Miura pinned Nakajima with a Lariat (8:33).
4. Goodbye Biishiki-gun: Saki Akai, Ai Shimizu & KANNA defeated Miyu Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki & Rika Tatsumi when KANNA pinned Tatsumi with the Spear Of Versailles (11:50).

Sanshiro Takagi and Tetsuya Koda announced the main event for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s debut in Korakuen Hall on 4th January will be for the newly created Tokyo Joshi Championship! There is two ways to qualify for the championship match. The first spot was given to Shoko Nakajima for winning the Tokyo Princess Cup and beating Saki Akai. She was given a special towel that must be protected. It was supposed to be placed inside a briefcase but nobody had one so it was placed inside a backpack instead. The towel must be defended like a title and can be transferred in any match by pinfall or submission. Nakajima quickly found out the how difficult the task is when Akane Miura pinned her in the 3 Way Match and took her spot in the title match. Miura must now defend her spot until January if she wants to guarantee her place in the title match. The other spot will be up for grabs in a Royal Rumble on 7th November.

Biishiki-gun gets to leave Tokyo Joshi with their heads held high. Akai credited KANNA for earning the victory in the main event with her “beautiful power”. She thanked both KANNA and Ai Shimizu for serving her and helping her make Tokyo Joshi a beautiful place. But it is time for Akai to return to Paris and she left her servents in the ring. Miyu Yamashita welcomed KANNA and Shimizu back to Tokyo Joshi and offered a handshake. KANNA refused the handshake and told Yamashita that even though they are now on the same side again that does not mean they will get along like before. KANNA is still determined to beat Yamashita for the first time.

After the closing message the lights went out and the room went dark. A woman wearing an iron mask and a high school sailor uniform suddenly appeared at the entrance. The woman’s name was revealed as Saki Akamiya and she said now that Biishiki-gun is gone she will bring down her hammer of anger on Tokyo Joshi at their 24th October show.

Election Results Tomorrow, KANNA Returns But Biishiki-gun Leaves, DNA 10

October 6, 2015

I’ll be on holiday for the next week so the blog updates will be sparse until 16th October. I’ll try to keep up to date on any big news about tomorrow’s show on Twitter.

DDT “DDT DRAMATIC GENERAL ELECTION 2015 RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT”, 07/10/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Kazusada Higuchi & Mao Inoue Vs Ryota Nakatsu & Kota Umeda
2. Danshoku Dino, Super Sasadango Machine & Ken Ohka Vs Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo
3. 3 Way Tag Team Match: Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi Vs Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata
4. 4 Way 6-Man Tag Team Match: Kota Ibushi, Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake Vs HARASHIMA, Akito & Yasu Urano Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao Vs Gota Ihashi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Kouki Iwasaki

A quick show is taking place in Korakuen Hall to announce the results of this year’s Dramatic General Election. There are only four matches but the rest of the show will be listing the results of both the single election and the unit election. An press conference will also take place about the future plans of Union’s wrestlers.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GO UP HIGHER!”, 12/10/2015
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. Erin Vs MIZUHO
2. Nonoko Vs Azusa Takigawa
3. 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima Vs Akane Miura Vs Hyper Misao
4. Goodbye Biishiki-gun: Saki Akai, Ai Shimizu & KANNA Vs Miyu Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki & Rika Tatsumi

KANNA returns from injury but it happens when her unit Biishiki-gun is about to disappear. It looks like Saki Akai doesn’t want to hang around Tokyo Joshi Pro for much longer after she lost to Shoko Nakajima last month so her group will probably go away.

DDT “DNA 10”, 12/10/2015
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. Suguru Miyatake Vs Daichi Kazato
2. No Mystery Brother Was Better Than His Brother!! The Time Has Come For The Oath! Now I More Than You!! ~ Grudge Liquidation Single Match: Dai Suzuki Vs Tigger Bedscene

4. Mizuki Watase Vs Yuko Miyamoto

It turns out Dai Suzuki and Tigger Bedscene really are brothers.

Daichi Kazato from Union moves over to the DNA brand.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YOU GROW UP” Results

September 22, 2015

yougrowup

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YOU GROW UP”, 22/09/2015
Shinjuku FACE
485 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. MIZUHO defeated Hyper Misao with a Senton (5:48).
2. Ai Shimizu defeated Nonoko by Referee Stoppage with the Oppai Squash ☆ (5:58).
3. Azusa Takigawa Debut Match: Miyu Yamashita defeated Azusa Takigawa with the Attitude Adjustment (5:03).

5. Shoko Nakajima defeated Saki Akai with a Cradle (12:06).

syoko-pins-akai

There was a big upset in the main event when Shoko Nakajima pinned Saki Akai. The Tokyo Princess Cup winner is the first person to beat Akai in Tokyo Joshi Pro but it was a difficult task none the less. Akai was in control for most of the match and Nakajima was only able to do her Northern Lights Suplex out of desperation for a two count. Victory came for Nakajima when she countered a Lariat into a Cradle. Saki Akai was so shocked by losing that she fainted. Her Biishiki-gun servants were also left speechless by the result. Nakajima meanwhile was filled with emotion over the victory. She told her story of moving to Tokyo when she was 19 years old. She wanted to become a comedian but her attempts ended in failure and she decided to quit. That was when she discovered wrestling and chose Tokyo Joshi as a place to escape to. Since then she’s been having fun everyday and learned to never give up no matter what. She thanked the audience for their support. It was their cheers that kept her together when things looked bleak. She said maybe she is still weak on her own but with Tokyo Joshi they can both grow bigger and bigger together.

erin-comeback

Erin was back in action for the first time since June the arm she fractured was targeted in her return match. Yuka Sakazaki also got involved in a lot of shenanigans like blowing a whistle in Akane Miura’s ear to break up a submission hold and having a quiz against Rika Tatsumi to determine who knows Erin best. When the quiz ended Erin put Tatsumi in her new Jiaozi Lock submission while Miura tapped out Sakazaki with the Sickle Lock.

azusa-takigawa

Tokyo Joshi’s newest wrestler is now named Azusa Takigawa. She lost to Miyu Yamashita in her debut match but is eager to continue wrestling while also attempting to be a reporter on television. After the match Takigawa said she wants to show the same vigor and power that she sees whenever she watches pro wrestling.

oppai-squash

Ai Shimizu was able to render Nonoko unconscious with a modified Camel Clutch, grasping her arms around Nonoko’s big chest and squeezing as hard as she could.

hypermisao-newsuit

The opening match was between two women who teamed together in their debut back in February. For the occassion Hyper Misao wrestled in a new superhero costume that she claims can absorb 95% of her opponent’s attacks. She also wrote a letter for MIZUHO to tell her how much she means to her but her attempts to read it made her cry. However, Misao also warned that this was a big match and her new costume is too powerful for a small fish like MIZUHO. The match happened and it turned out the new super suit wasn’t as powerful as Misao thought it was. MIZUHO was able to beat Misao earn her first pro wrestling victory.

tjp-takagi

Sanshiro Takagi appeared at the end of the show to announce that Tokyo Joshi will soon arrive in the “holy land”. The brand will hold its first show in Korakuen Hall on 4th January, 2016! Takagi said Tokyo Joshi was able to fill up Shinjuku FACE twice and he now wants the brand to fill up Korakuen Hall two, three or even four times! He also mentioned the show will take place at noon so it won’t clash with Wrestle Kingdom 10 next door. He hopes instead that fans both local and worldwide attending the Tokyo Dome that day will be even a little bit interested in giving Tokyo Joshi a shot.

There is still no No. 1 Contender for the KO-D Openweight Title going into this show. It’s safe to say if anyone can pin a Shuten-dōji wrestler in the main event, they will have a good claim to getting the title shot.

6. 4 Way Tag Team Match: Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi Vs Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo Vs HARASHIMA & Akito

If Danshoku Dino can beat Shigehiro Irie, it will help #OhkaEmpire’s chances of getting a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title shot.

KAT-TOO have been working well as a team so far. They face tournament bound KUDO & Kota Umeda.

Normally Gota Ihashi would be in the Pigging 2015 team but he’s locked out of the show because of he is the King Of Dark Champion. Saki Akai has to take his place.

Shin-kiba 1st RING

1. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Aoi Kizuki (c) Vs Cherry

3. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Kota Umeda
4. Suguru Miyatake Vs Joey Ryan
5. Mizuki Watase Vs Shinjiro Otani
6. Kazusada Higuchi Vs Katsuhiko Nakajima

Mizuki Watase was surprised to learn his opponent for his second pro wrestling match is Shinjiro Otani! Watase never thought he would get such a high profile match right after losing in his debut.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “BAD COMMUNICATION 2015”, 23/09/2015
Shinjuku FACE

1. Animal Planet Special 3 Way Match: J-Soul Pandita III IV Vs Neko Nitta Vs Kris Wolf

The main event features a mixture of alliances between Ganbare☆Wrestling and K-DOJO wrestlers. A grudge between Ken Ohka and Minoru Fujita is the focus but there is also the surprise return of Shota. There are also the shocks of Osamu Namiguchi siding with Fujita and Bambi siding with Ohka.

UNION “10TH ANNIVERSARY BOX OFFICE”, 04/10/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

The final match in Union should obviously be between the two aces fighting over the championship. Isami Kodaka requested Shuji Ishikawa to be his next and possibly last challenger for the Union MAX Title.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE GIRLS BATTLE 2015 ROUND 8” Results

August 29, 2015

akai-nakajima

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE GIRLS BATTLE 2015 ROUND 8”, 29/08/2015
Tokyo BASEMENT MONSTAR
150 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yuka Sakazaki defeated MIZUHO with an Oklahoma Roll (7:19).
2. Miyu Yamashita defeated Rika Tatsumi with the Attitude Adjustment (5:22).
3. Hyper Misao defeated Nonoko by Countout (9:45).
4. Saki Akai & Ai Shimizu defeated Shoko Nakajima & Akane Miura when Akai pinned Nakajima with the Rookie Award (9:44).

Two matches had to be changed when KANNA injured her left orbital bone during the week. She was unable to wrestle but hopes to be back for the 22nd September Shinjuku FACE show. Ai Shimizu took her place in the main event tag match. Rika Tatsumi was taken out of the 3 Way Match and put in Shimizu’s original spot against Miyu Yamashita.

Saki Akai couldn’t believe it when she pinned Shoko Nakajima in the main event. Akai came to the conclusion that Nakajima winning the Tokyo Princess Cup was just a fluke and is nothing to worry about. Akai will instead go visit a farm with the rest of Biishiki-gun and pick up some prunes and blueberries to eat on the way home. Nakajima said she will accept today’s defeat but her winning the tournament was not a fluke! She is sure things will change in one month’s time when she and Akai will fight alone.

Hyper Misao scored an upset victory over Nonoko by tricking her to come out of the ring. She tried the plan twice, the first time Misao tied Nonoko with a piece of cloth to a pedestal but Nonoko freed herself and made it back to the ring in time. The second time worked when Misao pushed Nonoko into the corner ring post, dazing her long enough to get counted out. Misao was thrilled to get her first victory in Tokyo Joshi Pro and promised she will debut a new superhero costume at Shinjuku FACE next month.

A new girl named Azusa will debut at Shinjuku FACE. She is from Tokyo, is 161cm high, weighs 47kg and trained in kickboxing. Her opponent in her debut match is Miyu Yamashita.

Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

2. Miyu Yamashita Vs Ai Shimizu
3. 3 Way Match: Nonoko Vs Rika Tatsumi Vs Hyper Misao
4. Saki Akai & KANNA Vs Shoko Nakajima & Akane Miura

It must have been a confusing weekend for KANNA. She got a bump in Twitter followers when the other Kana appeared on screen at NXT TakeOver. WWE spelt Kana’s name with two ‘N’s leading some thirsty fans to KANNA’s Twitter account by mistake.

Miyu Yamashita had her debut shoot boxing bout on 21st August at the “GIRLS S-CUP 2015” event in Tokyo. She fought Yurika GSB in the 54kg weight class. Unfortunately Yamashita lost the fight by unanimous decision after three rounds. Yamashita said she felt embarrassed by the defeat because she carried the weight of Tokyo Joshi Pro on her shoulders and let everybody down. However she would like to get another fight and will train more in shoot boxing for the time being.

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2015”, 30/08/2015

No rest for the wicked. We have new matches and a few title bouts coming up. Team Drift defend their KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles against Smile Squash this weekend. The newly named #OhkaEmpire wanted a rematch with Drift but it was denied. However Shigehiro Irie gave credit to Ken Ohka and said he was a surprisingly strong opponent. He would like to fight that Ken Ohka again someday. But Drift wants to defend their titles against other teams before #OhkaEmpire gets another shot.
