I Know You’re All Busy With The Network But Here’s Some New Lineups

February 24, 2014

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHIBUYA ENTERTAINMENT☆FIGHT 2”, 27/02/2014
Shibuya Entertainment Stage

1. Chikage Kiba Vs KANNA
2. Miyu Yamashita Vs Yuka Sakazaki
3. 3 Way Match: Nonoko Vs Shoko Nakajima Vs Ririko Kendo

The match order will be determined on the day of the show.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN HIROSHIMA ~ DRAMATIC DREAM TOUKASAN”, 01/03/2014
Hiroshima Industrial Hall West Exhibition Hall

1. Keisuke Ishii Vs Guanchulo
2. MIKAMI Vs KENICHI
3. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Yuto Aijima Vs Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki & Rey Paroma
4. 4 Way Match: Kota Ibushi Vs Yasu Urano Vs Michael Nakazawa Vs DJ Nira
5. Yukio Sakaguchi & Makoto Oishi Vs Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao
6. KUDO, Masa Takanashi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Akito, Tetsuya Endo & Konosuke Takeshita
7. DDT Extreme Title – New York Rules: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Danshoku Dino

Yuto Aijima, Rey Paroma and KENICHI return for DDT’s trip to Hiroshima.

DDT “OSAKA NORTHERN STORY”, 02/03/2014
Osaka Umeda Nasci Hall

1. MIKAMI Vs Akito
2. Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi Vs Kiai Ryuuken Ecchan & DJ Nira
3. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo Vs Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki
4. Kota Ibushi Vs Guanchulo
5. Michael & Matsunaga Tag Ordeal: Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Zeus & The Bodyguard
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao (c) Vs Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Yukio Sakaguchi
7. HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano Vs KUDO & Masa Takanashi

The Homo-sapiens are no more but Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi have already found a replacement for Aja Kong. Enter Yukio Sakaguchi, fresh off of a defeat to KUDO. A title win here will be just what the doctor ordered to get him back on track.

Amon Tsurumi has been disappointed in the performances of Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga lately so they now have to face Zeus & The Bodyguard. How that is supposed to motivate them, I don’t know.

BOYZ “BOYZ DOLL FESTIVAL SPECIAL ~ONNA MATSURI 3~”, 04/03/2014
Shinjuku FACE

1. Soma Takao Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. KUDO Vs Mitomi Masayuki
3. Daisuke Sasaki & Masa Takanashi Vs Keisuke Ishii & Akito
4. Isami Kodaka, Kota Ibushi & Tetsuya Endo Vs Makoto Oishi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Konosuke Takeshita
5. HARASHIMA Vs Hiroshi Fukuda

More new matches for the BOYZ. No YaroZ needed.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2014”, 21/03/2014
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Monster Army Disbanded Match: Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki, Hoshitango, Yuji Hino, X
2. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal: X Vs X
3. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs KUDO

My favourite match in DDT returns for its annual appearance. The Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal combines the Royal Rumble and the Money In The Bank to create something bonkers in the usual DDT manner. Last year their was four identical prizes, all KO-D Openweight Title matches but with the extra stipulation the the contracts could change hands like championships. Prizes from previous years have included contracts for promoting shows, winning romantic dates and even temporarily morphing into other wrestlers.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO CIRCUIT 2014 ROUND 2” Results

February 15, 2014

nanako-kanna

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO CIRCUIT 2014 ROUND 2”, 15/02/2014
Tokyo BASEMENT MONSTAR
90 Fans

1. Chikage Kiba defeated Ayumi Takeda with a Cross Kneebar (4:11).
2. Miyu Yamashita defeated Ririko Kendo with the Crash Rabbit Heat (6:02).
3. Nonoko & KANNA defeated Shoko Nakajima & Yuka Sakazaki when Nonoko pinned Nakajima with the Pie Fly Flow (10:00).

Despite snowy weather causing some problems such as delaying one of the idol acts from arriving in time to perform, the show was able to take place as normal.

Tension is building between Miyu Yamashita and Nonoko after the events of today’s show. Yamashita’s match against Ririko Kendo was supposed to be the main event but Nonoko interrupted the opening of the show complaining about that decision. She felt her match should go on last because she is a main eventer. Tetsuya Koda decided the main event would be decided by whoever won a game of Ass Sumo. Nonoko and Yamashita had to stand back-to-back on a box and attempt to bump each other off it to win. Nonoko won easily because of her plump body.

Nonoko & KANNA were victorious in the main event but Yamashita approached Nonoko again in the ring. Yamashita accepted losing to Nonoko in the Ass Sumo contest but also said she would beat Nonoko in a wrestling match. Koda stepped in and said he knows a great little venue for that match to happen and booked the match for 5th April in Kawasaki Plaza Sol.

Chikage Kiba announced she passed her exam into a private university. She is now stress free and looking forward to living the dream of a campus life. She promises to continue working hard in both wrestling and education.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHIBUYA ENTERTAINMENT☆FIGHT 1” Results

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHIBUYA ENTERTAINMENT☆FIGHT 1”, 28/01/2014
Shibuya Entertainment Stage
80 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Shoko Nakajima defeated Ririko Kendo with a Cross Body (5:48).
2. Nonoko defeated KANNA with the Pie Fly Flow (5:12).
3. Miyu Yamashita defeated Yuka Sakazaki with the Crash Rabbit Heat (5:50).

Yuka Sakazaki learned some dirty tactics to use against Miyu Yamashita. She untied Daisuke Kiso’s shoelaces and then choked Yamashita with mat tape while the ref was busy tying his shoe. She tried the trick again later in the match but this time it didn’t work and Yamashita beat her with the Crash Rabbit Heat.

Nonoko again used her bust to great effect, beating KANNA with a Modified Dragon Sleeper where KANNA’s face was pressed against Nonoko’s chest, followed by the Boinmaker and the Pie Fly Flow.

Ririko Kendo, real name Ririko Ishizawa, is a new trainee who made her wrestling debut today. After only wrestling on a mat for her first match, she now wants to get into a ring.

Dreams, Mon☆stars, Galaxies & Demons

January 14, 2014

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2014”, 26/01/2014
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Saki Akai & Makoto Oishi Vs Yoshiko & Toru Owashi
2. Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao Vs Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki
3. KUDO Vs Danshoku Dino
4. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Battle Royal: Masa Takanashi (c) Vs X
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles – 3 Way Match: Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto (c) Vs Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega Vs Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo
6. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

Shigehiro Irie gets his rematch with HARASHIMA from last year’s second Sumo Hall main event. This time Irie is the challenger and HARASHIMA is dealing with now just having two title belts instead of three.

DDT rookies Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo achieved a remarkable result yesterday, wrestling Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega to a 30 minute draw. Both teams were rewarded with a KO-D Tag Team Title shot but it will be in a 3 Way Match against the champions. Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto can prove their dominance of the tag team division even more by beating two teams at once.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO CIRCUIT 2013 ROUND 1”, 18/01/2014
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Ayumi Takada
2. Nonoko Vs Yuka Sakazaki
3. Miyu Yamashita Vs KANNA

Miyu Yamashita and KANNA have their first proper match together after a year of facing each other in exhibition bouts. KANNA has yet to beat Yamashita.

Chikage Kiba is unable to wrestle because she has a high school exam on the day of the show.

DDT “GALAXY EXPLOSION IN NAGOYA 2014”, 02/02/2014
Nagoya Telepia Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

HARASHIMA’s other title will be defended against Keisuke Ishii. HARASHIMA’s DDT Extreme Title defences have been a wild departure from how he usually wrestles but Ishii seems to be a fairly normal wrestler. Will we get a more traditional stipulation or will HARASHIMA or Ishii show some imagination with their match choice.

UNION “DEMON UNION 2014”, 11/02/2014
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Richard Burn

Union returns to the Pro Wrestling Vs Martial Arts match up that built the company when it was brought back to life in 2005. But I do not expect Shuji Ishikawa and Richard Burn to have such a heated feud that they will eventually fight in a ring filled with scorpions.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “RAISING AN ARMY” Results

December 1, 2013

tww-debut

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “RAISING AN ARMY”, 01/12/2013
Kitizawa Town Hall
294 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. KANNA defeated Ayumi Takada with a Boston Crab (4:39).
2. Nonoko & Yuka Sakazaki defeated Ura Erika & Shoko Nakajima when Nonoko pinned Nakajima with the Pai Fly Flow (10:00).
3. Miyu Yamashita defeated Chikage Kiba with the Crash Rabbit Heat (6:54).

It took 18 months since its creation but Tokyo Joshi Pro finally held its official debut show in Kitizawa today as part of a double header with DDT.

The main event pitted the two brightest trainees of the promotion against each other. Miyu Yamashita had beaten Chikage Kiba before and today she made it two for two with her Running Kick finisher, the Crash Rabbit Heat. Yamashita declared herself as the Ace of Tokyo Joshi Pro, at least for the time being. She also called out Nonoko and challenged her to a match. In her post show interview, Yamashita said she hopes people will call her the Ace rather than a self-proclaimed one. She hopes she will get to wrestle in various places and have fun doing so. Kiba really wanted to win but felt gratitude for all the people who was involved with today’s show. She doesn’t know what Tokyo Joshi Pro will turn into but she wants to continue.

The middle match was a chance for the plump Nonoko to show off her, er… talents. Her arsenal consisted of popular moves such as the Rainmaker, the People’s Elbow and a downsized High Fly Flow (which she calls the Pai Fly Flow and claims is an original move) all modified to emphasize her K-Cup bust. It turned out to be just what was needed for her and Yuka Sakazaki to win the match. Sakazaki believed they were able to win because they had bigger busts than their opponents. Shoko Nakajima was psyched to wrestle but for the time being wants to focus on winning her first singles match. She hopes to become a fast wrestler with cool moves. For her partner Ura Erika, it was her first wrestling match in over two years.

KANNA marked off the new beginning of Tokyo Joshi Pro by earning her first ever singles victory. Her opponent Ayumi Takada was pretty much dressed like Paige from WWE NXT. When asked what she wants Tokyo Joshi Pro to be, KANNA said it is a good organization with a good atmosphere and she wants it to continue like that. Takada said she was relieved to finally debut and felt amazing after her first match.

Tetsuya Koda announced that Eri Wakamatsu from Ice Ribbon has signed with Tokyo Joshi Pro. She explained that she was starting from scratch and she wasn’t sure if she could still use her Ice Ribbon name. Her debut match and possibly a new name have not been determined yet.

The show was supposed to begin with a performance by DPG, the band featuring Hiroshi Fukuda and Antonio Honda. But before they could begin, they received a message from one of their members saying she was quitting the band. Stephanie Ayumi was no where to be seen in the arena and her bandmates were shocked at the sudden news. Honda appeared dressed as a taoist monk and was able to summon Ayumi into the arena. Ayumi had written a letter to the band and read it out to them. She said she will leave the band after today’s performance to enter pro wrestling but that does not mean she will quit being their friend. The group performed their song “Demon Of The Ring” and everyone wished her luck as Stephanie Ayumi began her second life as Ayumi Takada. Lastly, Fukuda chopped Ayumi across her chest to give her fighting spirit. Ayumi fired back with a High Kick, knocking him down and setting her off on the right path.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “RAISING AN ARMY”, 01/12/2013
Kitizawa Town Hall

1. Ayumi Takada Vs KANNA
2. Ura Erika & Shoko Nakajima Vs Nonoko & Yuka Sakazaki
3. Miyu Yamashita Vs Chikage Kiba

The first proper Tokyo Joshi Pro card is now shaping up. Miyu Yamashita and Chikage Kiba will face off for the second time in their careers. Yamashita won the first bout but Kiba is confident and noted that while her opponent practices her kicks a lot, she never focuses on her ground game which is Kiba’s main strength.

The rest of the card is filling up with new faces. Ura Erika is an idol and part time wrestler. She currently stars in a pro wrestling influenced sentai show called Fire Leon. Nonoko is a “K-Cup Talent” who will have her debut wrestling match at the show. Ayumi Takada is a member of Hiroshi Fukuda’s DPG pop group. She’s the one dressed as Hit Girl and goes by the stage name Ayumi Stephanie. However she will use her real name for wrestling.
