1. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs X
The plan is to have two KO-D Openweight Title matches happen at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025”. One for both days. Seems obvious that the King Of DDT winner gets one of the title shots.
DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025 – DAY 2”, 31/08/2025 Tokyo Korakuen Hall
What a month. Felt like the moment WrestleMania Week ended the wrestling world just kept going. Konosuke Takeshita was involved with the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament in AEW and when that came to an end he very quickly established a new tag team with Josh Alexander. Then in Japan some DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro wrestlers took part in Deadlock Pro’s weekend in the country’s capital. There was also some lucha libre action happening in Tokyo a few days later. Back in America Maki Itoh got her face painted again in a very nice and very evil manner. Then the very busy month came to an end with Miyu Yamashita stepping foot back inside AEW after a two or three year absence.
Yamashita is going to have a packed schedule in May. Itoh has a few things coming up but she will be back in TJPW in the middle of the month. Yamashita though has plenty on her plate and the AEW appearance came about at a good time to replenish some interest in her. What’s included below is not the complete schedule she posted on her Twitter account. There are plenty more dates coming up over the next few months but some haven’t been announced by the promotions yet so I left them out just to save some space. Our old pal Yuka Sakazaki got her first booking on the indies in quite a while too. Another thing to keep an eye on is just where will Keigo Nakamura land for his indefinite overseas excursion. Apparently wherever he’s going he is has gone travelling over there already. If he is indeed still going to wrestle I’ll do my best to keep track of it in these articles.
AEW “DYNAMITE – SPRING BREAKTHRU”, 16/04/2025 MGM Music Hall At Fenway, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
1. Owen Hart Foundation 2025 Men’s Tournament – Semi Final: Will Ospreay Vs Konosuke Takeshita

———————————————————————–
Results
AEW “DYNAMITE – SPRING BREAKTHRU”, 16/04/2025 MGM Music Hall At Fenway, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
1. Owen Hart Foundation 2025 Men’s Tournament – Semi Final: Will Ospreay defeated Konosuke Takeshita with the Stormbreaker (21:43).
A highly anticipated rematch in the Owen Hart Cup saw Takeshita clash with Will Ospreay once again. Ospreay looked to have had Takeshita’s number until Takeshita purposely collapsed to avoid taking the Hidden Blade. Takeshita even caught Ospreay in mid-air with an Elbow Strike only for Ospreay to kick out at one and hit the Hidden Blade from out of nowhere. Takeshita kicked out at one as well leading to a role reversal where Ospreay used the Bastard Driver into the German Suplex and Takeshita responded with a Hidden Blade of his own. More counters came with Ospreay turning the Raging Fire into a Hurricanrana that then switched into the Styles Clash. Takeshita countered another Hidden Blade with a Backslide into a Powerdrive Knee but Ospreay flipped over a Lariat and lifted Takeshita into the Stormbreaker, winning a hard fought match that booked his spot in the final.
AEW “COLLISION – SPRING BREAKTHRU”, 17/04/2025 MGM Music Hall At Fenway, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
1. Josh Alexander & Konosuke Takeshita defeated Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii when Alexander pinned Ishii with a Power Bomb (10:18).
There wasn’t much time for Takeshita to lick his wounds but The Don Callis Family are already regrouping with a new addition to the unit. AEW’s newest signing Josh Alexander has taken on Don Callis’s management services and made to team with Takeshita. They won their first match as a tag team but one of the reasons it happened was because Rocky Romero ended up abandoning Tomohiro Ishii and left him to the wolves. Alexander & Takeshita rocked Ishii with a Double Roaring Elbow then Alexander finished him off with a Power Bomb. There was then more drama when Trent Beretta made his return after the match and attacked Ishii with Romero. Callis gave a wrench to Beretta and he used it to knock Ishii out.
AEW “DYNAMITE”, 23/04/2025 Lakefront Arena, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
1. Josh Alexander & Konosuke Takeshita defeated Will Ospreay & Brody King when Alexander pinned King after the Assisted C4 Spike (13:08).
Winning ways continued for The Don Callis Family when they took on Takeshita’s two opponents from the Owen Hart Cup. It was a heck of a task getting there though. Brody King ran through them like a tank while Ospreay and Takeshita had unfinished business from their match last week. The Family needed Lance Archer to distract the ref in order to turn the tables. Even then it took a lot fo Alexander & Takeshita to put King away. It eventually took Takeshita helping Alexander lift King up for the C4 Spike to finally put the big boy away.
DPW “SPIRIT RISING – NIGHT 1”, 24/04/2025 Shinjuku FACE
1. Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA Vs LaBron Kozone & Calvin Tankman ended in a Draw (?:??).
2. DPW Women’s World Title: Dani Luna (c) defeated Rika Tatsumi (?:??). *V3 for Dani Luna.
I couldn’t get any proper results from DPW’s two shows in Japan since they’re usually pretty good at keeping things under wraps until the matches get uploaded to their streaming service. But some scraping through Twitter I was able to piece together some things. Rika Tatsumi failed in her bid to win the DPW Women’s Title from Dani Luna. Also the DPW Vs DDT match went to a draw, I assume of the time limit kind. One of the big spots was HARASHIMA going to do the Somato on LaBron Kozone only to get ran over in midair with the Pounce from Calvin Tankman.
DPW “SPIRIT RISING – NIGHT 2”, 25/04/2025 Shin-Kiba 1st RING
1. Calvin Tankman & Kazuma Sumi defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida (?:??).
2. Emi Sakura, Chris Brookes, Mei Suruga & Baliyan Akki defeated Miyuki Takase, Kevin Ku, Dominic Garrini & Ryo Mizunami (?:??).
On Night 2 Chris Brookes was part of a ChocoPro team against a USA/Japan alliance representing DPW. Meanwhile Tankman got thrown in with some DDT wrestlers for a tag match between two pairs of big man and little man. Tankman is remaining in Japan for a ZERO1 tour but who knows, maybe DDT will come calling while he’s there.
HOG “ISOLATION”, 25/04/2025 NYC Arena, New York City, New York, USA
1. HOG Heavyweight Title: Mike Santana (c) Vs Konosuke Takeshita ended in a No Contest when Charles Mason interfered (15:57). *V14 for Mike Santana.
Well that kind of felt like a waste of time. The HOG Heavyweight Title was on the line and neither Mike Santana nor Takeshita were in a position to take a loss. So Charles Mason came out and ruined the whole thing. Santana had Takeshita pinned with the Spin The Block Roaring Lariat but Santana pulled the ref out of the ring mid-count and attacked Santana to stop the match. Takeshita tried to come to the rescue but Mason fled the ring unharmed. Santana and Takeshita raised each other’s hands to everyone afterward.
BLACK LABEL PRO “BLP AT SCX III”, 25/04/2025 The Wyndham, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA
1. Miyu Yamashita defeated Leyla Hirsch with the Skull Kick (?:??).
2. Danhausen & Maki Itoh defeated Davey Bang & August Matthews when Danhausen pinned Matthews and Itoh pinned Bang with the Double Kokeshi (?:??).
The latest American tours for Itoh & Yamashita kicked off over in Black Label Pro. Itoh joined forces with Danhausen once again to reunite Very Cute, Very Evil Makihausen. Itoh had the face fully painted to match her tag partner and be battle ready to go against Bang And Matthews. Itoh was in grave danger when Davey Bang & August Matthews combined to hit the Spears Tower on her but Danhausen broke the pin. When they tried the same move on Danhausen he paused them with a Curse that resulted in Itoh tripping them over. The two then filled their opponents’ mouths with jars of teeth before kicking them in their faces. Itoh & Danhausen then finished them off with Stereo Kokeshi Headbutts.
This month saw Leyla Hirsch return to action, now as a freelancer. Yamashita got to be one her of first opponents back and didn’t show much ring rust with her performance. She tried wearing down Yamashita with an Ankle Lock but Yamashita fired back with strikes that took a lot out of her opponent. Hirsch then missed a Moonsault and charged right into the Skull Kick for the finish.
1. Mexican Tourist Belt – The Road To Studying In Mexico 6 Way Match: Yuki Mashiro defeated Honoka, YuuRI, SONYA, CoCo and Yoshiko Hasegawa when Mashiro pinned Hasegawa with a Modified Suplex Hold (?:??). Order Of Elimination: SONYA, CoCo, Honoka, YuuRI, Yoshiko Hasegawa.
2. Octagon & El Hijo del Octagon Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Pantera Jr. ended in a Draw when El Hijo del Octagon and Pantera Jr. pinned each other from a Romero Special (?:??).
The warm vibes of lucha libre were in the air surrounding Sumo Hall for a sponsored show put together by the Mexico Kanko tourism company. Daisuke Sasaki was thrown in with some luchadors for a tag match. Naturally Sasaki was on the rudo side teaming with Pantera Jr. to take on the supposedly family pair of Octagon & El Hijo del Octagon. Sasaki stepped in to stop Octagon from doing dive from the top turnbuckle. But the match ended up going to a draw when Pantera put El Hijo del Octagon in the Romero Special. The move leaned both luchadors back onto their shoulders resulting in a double pinfall. After some arguing over the finish, all four wrestlers raised each others hands in the ring.
A sixth woman was added to the Mexican Tourist Belt match. Yoshiko Hasegawa may be retiring from wrestling soon but she didn’t want to miss a chance to win a holiday to Mexico! She came close to winning too, eliminating YuuRI and making it to the final two with Yuki Mashiro. She tried to win using the Fisherman Buster but Mashiro got the better of her and won the match with a Modified Suplex.
AEW “DYNAMITE”, 30/04/2025 Chartway Arena, Norfolk, Virginia, USA
1. AEW Women’s World Title Eliminator Match: Toni Storm (w/ Luther) Vs Miyu Yamashita
Right at the end of the month Yamashita wound up in a familiar place. She came back to AEW for the first time since 2022 (or maybe 2023 if you want to count ROH). She was here to repeat what she did back then and that was to fight the AEW Women’s World Champion and beat her to get a title shot. We’re far past the days of Thunder Rosa though. It’s Toni Storm’s time now, which also happens to rewind the clock back one century thanks to her Timeless gimmick. Yamashita got into the swing of things by literally kicking Storm’s ass around the ring as well as kicking away the loyal butler Luther. She also hit the Skull Kick but was too fatigued to make the pin in time. I couldn’t tell if she broke the pin herself or if Storm kicked out of it because both looked like they happened at the same time. Storm made a comeback and avoided the Crash Rabbit Heat to throw Yamashita over to the corner with a German Suplex. She then landed the Running Hip Attack and pinned Yamashita with the Storm Zero. The booking sounds like it was a one time thing for Yamashita during this latest stay in the States. But she promised if she ever comes back to AEW she will kick someone else’s head in!

Slamovich just recently pinned Yamashita at the “DDT VS TJPW VS GCW” show which seems to be what set this title match up.

HOG “WAGING WAR”, 09/05/2025 Logan Square Auditorium, Chicago, Illinois, USA
1. Indi Hartwell Vs Miyu Yamashita

She is also finally going to face Session Moth Martina after their scheduled match in EVE back in March got cancelled.

I haven’t seen it so I don’t know if anything happened as a reason to make them opponents here or if this is just three wrestlers who want to have some fun in the ring.
1. Queen Of Asia Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) Vs Alexis Lee
If all goes wrong for Kamifuku in May she could end up losing both the VPW Women’s Title and the Queen Of Asia Title!
NEW TEXAS PRO “BAT CITY”, 01/06/2025 Empire Control Room, Austin, Texas, USA
1. Yuka Sakazaki Vs X
Finally Sakazaki gets to wrestle somewhere again! I don’t know if her lack of ring time lately is AEW/ROH not wanting to book her or if there’s an undisclosed injury of some sort holding her back but she’s making a reappearance on the American indies with New Texas Pro as her first stop.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN DALLAS”, 13/07/2025 The OC, Forney, Texas, USA
Psst… the English website promoting the show also lists Yuki Arai, Mizuki, Hyper Misao, Shoko Nakajima, Pom Harajuku, Moka Miyamoto, Shino Suzuki, Raku and Arisu Endo as all “awaiting confirmation” to be on the show. I guess they could go and confirm them all but as we saw with Harajuku this month they might be making sure everything is absolutely ready for them all to travel first.

The former KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions are getting an immediate rematch. NωA Jr. lost the belts to DAMNATION T.A over the weekend leading to a dilemma for Shunma Katsumata. He wants to win the titles again but this time with Yuki Ueno & To-y in The 37KAMIINA. However Yuni & Kazuma Sumi wanted this rematch to win back the titles with Katsumata under the NωA Jr. unit. DDT decided to go with NωA Jr. over The 37KAMIINA for the next title match.
The Strange Love Connection’s MC KIMIHIRO finally makes his DDT debut on this show.
On yesterday’s DDT show Yuki Ishida got beaten up pretty badly so he has been taken off this weekend’s two shows in order to recover. He is expected to be back in action on the 6th May Korakuen Hall show unless he hasn’t recovered in time.

Now the two captains will decide on their entry order based on Kendo team competitions (Senpo, Jiho, Chuken, Fukusho and Taisho) which doesn’t necessarily mean they will be ordered from weakest to strongest.

Also a lot of fresh faces from around the scene are on board from Chanyota to Kirari Wakana to Ali Najima to MASA☆TAKA and plenty more in between.

1. HIMAWARI defeated Chika Nanase with the Half Crab Hold (6:19).
2. 3 Way Match: Kaya Toribami defeated Mahiro Kiryu and Uta Takami when Toribami when Toribami pinned Takami with an Inside Cradle (7:00).
3. Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Kira Summer & Ivy Steele when Raku submitted Steele with the Front Neck Lock (8:58).

6. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Rika Tatsumi & Haruna Neko when Misao pinned Neko with the Hypami Returns (10:37).
7. Mizuki, Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Miu Watanabe, Yuki Arai & Moka Miyamoto when Mizuki pinned Miyamoto with the Diving Foot Stomp (14:07).
For her first match in Japan as a full time pro wrestler, Yuki Arai was announced as the “Genius Girl” with SKE48 no longer attached to her nickname. She was on the losing side of the main event though. Her & Miu Watanabe were taken down by Daisy Monkey so Mizuki could pin Moka Miyamoto with the Diving Foot Stomp. Suzume & Arisu Endo were really happy because today was their first time wrestling in Hokkaido (although Suzume went there with Tokyo Joshi Pro one time previously as a trainee). Watanabe & Miyamoto looked on the bright side and complimented Arai on her new costume.
Suzume knows her next challenger for the International Princess Title is HIMAWARI who is currently on a winning streak. Even before she became No. 1 Contender Suzume could see gleams in the eyes of the younger wrestlers and that is pushing her to keep defending the title. She promised not to let her guard down against HIMAWARI.

Yuki Kamifuku is only defending the VPW Women’s Title against Viva Van so she risks splitting up the Asian Double Crown if she loses.
The three visiting guests from Southeast Asia are all teaming together. What do Matcha, Alexis Lee & Nor ‘Phoenix’ Diana all have in store for TJPW during their stay? I wish SEA Storm actually was their group name. It’s a cool name.

6. SETUP All Asia Women’s Title: Raku (c) Vs Nor ‘Phoenix’ Diana
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Matcha & Alexis Lee
It is confirmed that Kyoraku Kyomei are the defending Princess Tag Team Champions going up against Matcha & Lee.
The TJPW RUSH! match was such a success at the end of last year that they’re bringing it back. It is a 5 Vs 5 Team Gauntlet Match with 2 Count Pinfalls and 5 minute time limits. Any match that ends in a time limit draw restarts with 1 Count sudden death rules. This time it is an Osaka themed competition with Mizuki captaining the Takoyaki team and Suzume captaining the Kushikatsu team. Their teammates will first be determined by a lottery and then the captains get to put their match entry in order.
Should any of the RUSH! wrestlers not get to take part because their team wins early, they will be added into Match #5 with all of the Yuki’s. The 3 Way Match will turn into a tag team match if only one person is added. If two are added then it will become a 5 Way Match, three added will be a 6-Woman Tag, etc.
Still recovering from the last week? I know I am. It was a good week of wrestling over in Las Vegas. Plenty to go see and the stuff I watched in person was for the most part good to great. The return of DGUSA was alright, Pandemonium Pro was a fun time, WrestleCon had a good first half that turned bizarre in the middle before ending with a good main event and Bloodsport is a decent idea that’s getting bogged down by GCW’s working relationship with WWE. As for the DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro related shows I enjoyed all three of them. TJPW’s show was as close to a Korakuen Hall level event they could put on in America, DDT’s show didn’t have a dull moment on it and I was surprised by how good the Vs GCW show turned out in the end. Attendance though is another thing. TJPW I think are happy with the 812 number especially since I doubt they would get that for a Golden Week Korakuen show this year even with the big main event. DDT is still keeping their numbers a secret which I am now looking at in a different light because of a certain big takeover story that happened in the industry during the weekend.* The Vs GCW show had the worst turnout yet the people who did show up wanted to watch the show so there was still a good atmosphere inside the venue.
I reckon DDT/TJPW are happy to keep working with GCW and The Collective for next year’s WrestleMania Week. There’s definitely too many shows going on and not enough of an audience to fill them up. I saw plenty of shows in person and on screen over the week where the empty seats were noticeable. However TJPW in particular was one of the success stories coming out of Vegas and they seem to be getting more out of their American shows then some of the other Japanese promotions. Hopefully the momentum carries over to their events in Texas for All In Weekend this July.
*Let the record show that the moment I learned about WWE acquiring AAA happened while Maki Itoh and Microman were fighting each other.

Results
PANDEMONIUM PRO “THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS”, 17/04/2025 Fremont Country Club, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
1. Masha Slamovich defeated MAO with a High Kick (9:30).
2. Miu Watanabe defeated Maya World with the Tear Drop (11:30).
Thursday was when the busy schedules all kicked off for everyone. Miu Watanabe not only got to wrestle a rare match outside of TJPW but she got to perform her song for everyone during the pre-show too. Apparently when the promoter for Pandemonium Pro asked her if she had any requests in regards to the booking, she made it absolutely clear she wanted to sing at the show. When it came time to wrestle, she was ready to face the power and agility of Maya World. A Gory Special Go 2 Sleep, a Crippler Crossface, a Sunset Flip Power Bomb from the corner and a hanging German Suplex were all used by World but couldn’t get her the win. Watanabe’s power won out instead thanks to the Giant Swing, Power Slam, Laserbeam and then the Tear Drop.
The first of four matches in one day for MAO began here when he fought Masha Slamovich, who is somebody else that would spend most of the week wrestling non-stop all over the place. MAO fought a little bit dirty so even though he normally does something to the ref to leap over them for a Ace Crusher, here it was done to get the fans on Slamovich’s side. The two ended up in a fighting exchange that looked like it was about to end in a draw after Double High Kicks from each other both found their targets. But MAO fell down first with Slamovich landing on top of him to get the win.
CIRCLE 6 “MAYHEM AT THE MUSEUM”, 17/04/2025 The Punk Rock Museum, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
1. MAO defeated Bestia 666 with the Cannonball 450° (?:??).
With the Pandemonium Pro done, MAO quickly travelled over to The Punk Rock Museum where Circle 6 was hosting his next match in the parking lot. There was a ring set up in the lot and MAO could not help but brawl with Bestia 666 up to the nearby concert stage. MAO took some time to sit at the drums and play them for a bit before bringing Bestia back to the ring where he beat him with the Cannonball 450°.
WRESTLECON “MARK HITCHCOCK MEMORIAL SUPERSHOW”, 17/04/2025 Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
1. Mickie James defeated Maki Itoh with the Mickie DDT (14:25).
2. Minoru Suzuki Vs Butterbean (w/ Don Frye) ended in a Double Countout (R3 9:06). *Special Guest Enforcer: Dan Severn
I wasn’t going to write about any of Minoru Suzuki’s matches on this trip but I was in attendance for this show, Suzuki had the DDT Universal Title with him so and these two matches are going to be remembered for all the wrong reasons for a long time to come. So let’s get to it. Suzuki fought against Butterbean in one of the most bizarre looking matches happening in the weekend. Dan Severn was there as the special guest referee and also Don Frye was in the room as part of Butterbean’s entourage. What followed was a car crash of a match that nobody could turn away from. Three rounds of… er… I guess you can call it combat but there wasn’t much that could actually happen given the physical limitations between those involved. In the third round Suzuki and Butterbean ended up fighting outside the ring and when the bell rang for the final time, Severn informed everyone that the two of them were both counted out. Then after the commotion settled down, Severn gave an instruction to the ring announcer and it was just to repeat that the match ended in a Double Countout (I know he did that spot somewhere before but can’t remember where). It was certainly a freak show fight I’ll never forget.
Let’s not mince words, the Mickie James Vs Maki Itoh that happened before this was complete dog shit. On paper the match layout done correctly would have been acceptable. Start the match with a challenge for a singing contest, one of them gets slighted over being upstaged and does something heelish then the other makes the babyface comeback and wins. Should be easy peasy but oh boy did they fuck this up something rotten. They already began wrestling for a few minutes while everyone noticed the microphone was still in the ring. James then finally grabs it but instead of making the challenge straight away, she instead starts talking shit about Dave Meltzer for cheap pops (apparantly he was in the crowd?). The singoff eventually starts with Itoh singing in Japanese so James makes the typical “I don’t understand what you said” joke that would have fitted in at the WrestleMania roast later that weekend given how low effort it was. Then James tried singing her song, throwing in some adlibbed insults at Itoh for having a small butt that just came off like James couldn’t think of anything funny on the spot. They finally went back to wrestling but by this point the air has already escaped the room and nobody cared how it went. An absolute bomb of a match that exposed James as being thin-skinned and unprepared while Itoh had nowhere near the ability to try and save it.
WEST COAST PRO “VEGAS VACATION”, 17/04/2025 Meet Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
1. MAO defeated Jiah Jewell with an Anaconda Vice (?:??).
Time was already getting tight for MAO heading into his third match of the day. He came out for his match with Jiah Jewell looking like he only just arrived in the venue. He also had to call his next Uber before the match began. The match itself was not much to talk about. Given the promotion was two crazy wrestlers being put against each other, there isn’t much to talk about. There was a little bit of storyline with Jewell’s rival JT Thorne sitting at ringside to watch the match and MAO has added the Anaconda Vice to his arsenal. Other than that this became one of MAO’s more quiet periods of the week.
GCW “JOSH BARNETT’S BLOODSPORT XIII”, 17/04/2025 Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
1. Charlie Dempsey defeated Shinya Aoki by Referee Stoppage with the Regal Plex (9:18).
2. Nattie Neidhart defeated Miyu Yamashita by Referee Stoppage with the Sharpshooter (7:14).
After so much time spent hyping it up Miyu Yamashita and Nattie Neidhart finally had their match, taking place in the no-rope Bloodsport ring. Yamashita countered Neidhart’s Discus Elbow with the Skull Kick but that wasn’t called as a knockout so she went for the submission. Neidhart ended up kicking Yamashita away, pushing her into the corner post. That pretty much knocked out Yamashita and when she was put in the Sharpshooter, the referee stopped the match. That’s how it was supposed to look on paper but in practice it didn’t look great, which is why a lot of the match reports out there are confused as to why Yamashita was rendered unconscious by the Sharpshooter so quickly. At least Neidhart was thrilled by how the match went and would like to fight Yamashita again, this time in the WWE.
Maybe the big upset of the show happened when Charlie Dempsey from NXT defeated Shinya Aoki. The match was mostly grappling with Dempsey throwing in some European Uppercuts late in the game. Aoki almost had the fight won with a Sleeper Hold but Dempsey grabbed victory from the jaws of defeat by countering it into the Regal Plex. Aoki didn’t respond after that and the match was called in his opponent’s favor.
BZW “VIVA LAS VEGAS”, 17/04/2025 Swan Dive, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
1. BZW Tag Team Titles: MAO & Yoshihiko (c) defeated Marcus Mathers & Alec Price when Yoshihiko pinned Mathers with a Hurricanrana (?:??). *V4 for MAO & Yoshihiko.
This is how you end a night in Las Vegas. By teaming up with a sex doll to defend a tag team championship from France against a team with one guy who will probably end up on WWE TV somewhere in the next few year. As you do. Marcus Mathers & Alec Price were able to keep MAO at bay but Yoshihiko proved to be too much to handle. It had Price pinned with a Victory Roll counter for the Doomsday Device but the ref held his count believing that Mathers kicked out of it. So the challengers tried another double team move, this time with a Power Bomb set up. But Yoshihiko fought off Price from the corner and flipped over Mathers with a Hurricanrana to get the three count. MAO & Yoshihiko would go on to defend the BZW Tag Team Titles a second time later in the week, this time at the “DDT VS TJPW VS GCW” show.

WRESTLECORE “FEAR & WRESTLECORE IN LAS VEGAS”, 18/04/2025 Swan Dive, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
1. Cutest Match In The World: Maki Itoh defeated ELP when ELP said he is not the cutest in the world. (?:??).
Things have gotten drastic between Maki Itoh and El Phantasmo over who the cutest wrestler in the world is. The only way this matter could be settled in the ring was in a fight to the death! Or at least hurt the opponent badly enough that they admit on the microphone that they are not the cutest, I Quit style. Phantasmo brought a chair into the ring only for Itoh to stop him with a Low Blow. Itoh then bashed the chair over his head and use it to choke him into submission, forcing ELP to admit he is not the cutest in the world. Itoh was happy with that and made up with ELP after the match so the two could pose together.
PRIDESTYLE “OUT OF THIS WORLD”, 18/04/2025 Swan Dive, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
0. Yoshihiko’s Super Special Open Challenge: Yoshihiko Vs Ricky Tenacious
1. G-Sharpe Vs MAO
I couldn’t find any results of the PrideStyle show. I was able to find a clip of Yoshihiko wrestling Ricky Tenacious and there were other people involved so I guess the open challenge turned into a multi-man match.
GRAPHOUSE “FOR VEGAS, BY VEGAS”, 18/04/2025 Fergusons Downtown, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
1. Gauntlet Match: Yoshihiko defeated G-Sharpe (?:??).
2. W4TN Title: Lazarus (c) defeated MAO (?:??). *V? for Lazarus.
MAO probably saved his craziest stuff for last when he fought Lazarus over at GrapHouse. With the WILD4THENIGHT Title on the line both champion and challenger did nutty things. There was crowd brawling, there were plastic cases being smashed apart and there were plenty of chairs being used too. MAO even took a Stunner that sent him bouncing backwards into a trash can! Lazarus ended up winning to retain his W4TN Title.
From what I could find, Yoshihiko was also booked on the show as part of a Gauntlet Match and ended up winning it. But I do not know who it fought on the way to victory. I think G-Sharpe was there for part of it.

GCW “CLUSTERF*CK FOREVER”, 19/04/2025 Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
1. Clusterfuck Match: Brodie Lee Jr. defeated Joey Janela (2:19:45). Order Of Elimination: Kerry Morton, The Up Up Girls, B3CCA, Steven Crowe, MBM and MBM’s Friend, Swipe Right, Shreddy, The Warlord, Tombstone Jesus, Nate Webb, Human Tornado, Santana Jackson, Yoshihiko, Blanket Jackson, Gene Snitsky, Tara Zep, Zayda Steel, Vipress, Viva Van, Sonny Kiss, Sayaka Unagi, Jai Vidal, Ashley Vox, Bodhi Young Prodigy, Channing Decker, Sonico, Randy Myers, Parrow, Rhys Maddox, CPA, Jeffery Jhn, Super Crazy, Juventud Guerrera, Dustin Thomas, Kidd Bandit, Microman, New Roy, Team Game Changer Wrestling and Team Juggalo Championship Wrestling, Sleepy Ed, Dan Barry, Frank The Clown, Dan The Dad, Cheeseburger, Jack Cartwheel, Manny Lemons, Harlon Abbot, Effy, The Invisible Man, JGeorge and Lady Killjoy, Tommy Invincible, Frankie B, Brittnie Brookes, Sam Holloway, Thomas Shire, Mike Jackson, Lena Kross, Jay Lucas and Terry Yaki, Bobby Flaco, Aerial Van Go and Davey Bang and Brayden Toon, Starboy Charlie, Paul London, Masha Slamovich, Alec Price, 1 Called Manders, Man Like DeReiss, Megan Bayne, Joey Janela.
So Yoshihiko appearing at the Clusterfuck was known in advance but The Up Up Girls showing up as Entry #1 to perform “Upper Kick”? Nobody saw that coming! Although any joy to come from that was spoiled by Kerry Morton coming out to interrupt them with a foul mouthed rant. But when he got into the ring Miu Watanabe, Raku & Shino Suzuki all beat him up and threw him out of the ring before going back to singing. The next entrant was B3CCA then tried to get on The Up Up Girls’ side only to jump them. They fought back until Zayda Steel entered the match followed by the stable Swipe Right. A distraction from Swipe Right allowed B3CCA & Steel to all eliminated The Up Up Girls from behind.
Later in the match Yoshihiko made its appearance only to get eliminated by Gene Snitsky. Hey, it wasn’t his fault…

9. BZW Tag Team Titles – 3 Way Match: MAO & Yoshihiko (c) defeated Jimmy Lloyd & Alec Price and Jack Cartwheel & Kazuma Sumi when MAO pinned Sumi with the Ultra Big Tone (13:48). *V5 for MAO & Yoshihiko.
On the final day of The Collective series of shows and just hours before the first night of WrestleMania began, a triple threat collaboration took place between DDT, Tokyo Joshi Pro & GCW. And just to add another promotion to the mix, the main event was for a Banger Zone Wrestling championship. MAO & Yoshihiko defended the BZW Tag Team Titles in a 3 Way Match and came out of it with the belts still in their grasps. Yoshihiko was all bandaged up from the night before and took more abuse today, this time at the hands of Jimmy Lloyd & Alec Price. Meanwhile Kazuma Sumi got along well with Jack Cartwheel but had a bad end to the afternoon when MAO used his AI created finisher the Ultra Big Tone to beat him. MAO’s busy week finally came to an end and while he was now feeling tired, he isn’t satisfied because DDT wasn’t able to fill out the venue either today or yesterday.
The show was filled with one of a kind matches that never happened before and likely will never happen again. The semi-main event highlighted this most with Konosuke Takeshita teaming with Masha Slamovich to take on the pair of Shinya Aoki & Miyu Yamashita. Takeshita against Aoki and Slamovich against Yamashita have happened before but Takeshita against Yamashita is very rare. Yamashita was able to hit Takeshita with the Skull Kick that stunned him rather than knocked him out. But Slamovich hit Yamashita with her own Skull Kick, allowing Takeshita to give her the Blue Thunder Bomb. With Aoki unable to make the save, Slamovich then pinned Yamashita with the White Knight Driver. Takeshita admitted backstage he doesn’t remember anything that happened after getting hit with the Skull Kick. He also wants to team with Slamovich again because they had good chemistry as a team.
All through the weekend 1 Called Manders entered the ring to “Wanted Dead Or Alive” by Bon Jovi so today Maki Itoh walked out wearing a cowboy hat and lip-synced along to the song for their entrance. Yukio Naya’s big entrance was carrying Microman out to the stage. Itoh and Microman got into a fight over who is cuter. Naya wouldn’t actually fight Itoh but kept trying to scare her into submission with his size. Itoh began to cry and when Microman went over to comfort her, Naya knocked him down and made him cry too. Manders confronted Naya over it and after a shove couldn’t help but cry along with the others. Naya joined in too when the weight of guilt became too much for him to bare. When they all got it out of their system the action continued. Manders missed a Lariat and hit Itoh by mistake. Naya gave Manders The Best Back Drop In The World. He then picked up Microman and dropped him on top of Itoh for the pin.

With half of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster off on a Las Vegas adventure, it was up to the other half to keep things going back in Japan. There was an important matter of deciding who the next challenger for the International Princess Title was going to be. Eight wrestlers from the 2023 and 2024 Classes were put through an unusual tournament format to whittle the group down to one person left standing. Round 1 was an 8-Woman Tag Match with everyone on the winning side advancing to the next stage. Haru Kazashiro scored the pin for her team to send them through. The semi final then split those four into two tag teams. HIMAWARI & Uta Takami advanced thanks to Takami getting her first ever submission win after Chika Nanase gave up to the Koala Clutch. The final ended with HIMAWARI using a Modified Jackhammer (she later named it the Sunflower Tempest) to beat Takami and become No. 1 Contender. She will get her title shot against Suzume on 3rd May.
Moka Miyamoto was happy to team up with Ryo Mizunami and take some of her power for herself. Mizunami was curious to see what the crowd was like for today’s show and liked the energy coming from the TJPW fans. Haruna Neko probably wished the energy wasn’t there because Mizunami beat her chest red. Mahiro Kiryu also described fighting Mizunami is like being hit with a mass of energy.
There was a special nod Kakeru Sekiguchi gave to Nao Kakuta when she used the Shiden Kai to beat Yoshiko Hasegawa. She learned the move from Kakuta and used it as thanks for bringing her into TJPW. It was also used as a special send off for Hasegawa’s upcoming retirement. Hasegawa hopes they will meet in the ring again one more time. Then she won’t let her get away with a win again!
Sayuri Namba announced she will be releasing her own photobook in late May.

The busiest week in wrestling is taking place in Las Vegas and Tokyo Joshi Pro was there to put on their biggest show in America ever. As one of the many shows taking place in The Collective series, TJPW put their best foot forward by presenting as genuine a TJPW experience as they could along with four championship matches filling up the second half of the card. The main event was also the biggest match they could currently put together when it comes to who the best two wrestlers in the company are.
Mizuki went up against the monster Miyu Yamashita to purposely give herself the toughest challenge to make herself even stronger as the reigning Princess Of Princess Champion. Yamashita put her through a hellish time with kicks before dragging the champion over to the Pearl Theater stage. Mizuki fought back by dodging a Penalty Kick and then sprinting across the stage to jump onto her opponent with a Double Stomp. However Yamashita recovered and gave her the Attitude Adjustment on the stage. Back in the ring Yamashita got the better of the exchange by hitting the Skull Kick but was too hurt herself to make the pin. When she recovered she turned to run the ropes, presumably for the Crash Rabbit Heat but Mizuki grabbed onto her leg and gave her the Cutie Special. She followed up with the Run-Up Double Stomp, the Whirling Candy and then a bridging Cutie Special to finally beat Yamashita in a singles match for the first time!
After the match Mizuki got the microphone and asked the fans in English if they were happy? She then cheekily asked Yamashita if she was happy too? Yamashita obviously wasn’t. Mizuki then invited all of the present TJPW roster out for a group photo in the ring to close out the show. Backstage Yamashita admitted she was happy to wrestle Mizuki in Vegas with the Princess Title on the line but she lost and will never forgive Mizuki for that. She will now be touring across America for the next 3 months and promises to return at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” in July even stronger. Mizuki said Yamashita is a monster and she doesn’t like her but she is happy because the fans today were all so kind.
You can now add the TNA World Knockouts Title to the growing list of championships that have been defended on TJPW shows. The champion Masha Slamovich was already scheduled to face Miu Watanabe on the show and the title stipulation was only added a few days before. Watanabe focused on her strength and threw Slamovich with moves over and over. She even used the Inverted Tear Drop from the Canadian Backbreaker position. But Slamovich wouldn’t give up and landed a Headbutt followed by a Spin Kick to stun Watanabe. The White Knight Driver was then used to get Slamovich the win. Backstage Slamovich said she once promised to defend the Knockouts Title on a TJPW show and she did it today against one of the baddest women in the locker room. Her goal when she comes to TJPW is to beat their wrestlers one by one. She will fight them any time whether it’s for a championship or not. Watanabe is disappointed she couldn’t grab the big opportunity that was given to her. She also thinks Slamovich is crazy because she is wrestling something like 7,8 or 9 matches this week!
Maybe the two wrestlers who were most looking forward to visiting Las Vegas were Kyoraku Kyomei. With the casino right next to the theater, Shoko Nakajima wants to win big. She got off to a good start with a successful Princess Tag Teams Titles defence against Ober Eats. We got the “Hello Big Children” welcome from Hyper Misao and she quickly sprayed Yuki Kamifuku in the face. Wakana Uehara used Cartwheel Elbows into the corner and also the Banana Pillow to try and win. She got extra help from Kamifuku using the Famouser but in the end Misao landed the Hypami Returns on Uehara and Nakajima scored the pin with the Diving Senton. Now it’s on to the casinos to win big money! At least Kamifuku made a new friend in Uehara from teaming up together so much recently. Uehara said she wants Ober Eats to be the most glamorous tag team in TJPW.
In a rematch from last month Suzume put the International Title on the line again against Jada Stone. Suzume started off quick by hitting a Plancha out of the ring. She also had a roll up counter for the Spark Stunner. Stone had a big counter of her own, catching the Ring A Bell and turning it into a Gory Special. Stone also went high risk with the Sky Twister Press but only got a two count out of it. The two fought up to the top rope where Suzume grabbed Stone and gave her a Flying Facecrusher. That signalled the end and Suzume got the Ring A Bell right this time to beat Stone for the second time in a row. She said Stone had evolved a lot since the first match and has become her best rival. She would like to fight her again and again. Stone said this return to TJPW is her dream continuing and she would love to have another rematch because Suzume brings her abilities to the limit.
Due to visa problems Pom Harajuku could not travel for the show so Raku took her spot as Max The Impaler’s tag partner. Zara Zakher was confused to see Raku place a pillow in the ring and take a nap but it was only to lure Zakher into a Cradle. Raku also tried Poppo Chopping Maki Itoh but kept hurting her hand from hitting Itoh’s hard head. Max wasn’t happy with the pillow nonsense and Gorilla Pressed Raku onto their opponents. Whatever teamwork they had figured out fell apart when Raku missed a Poppo Chop and hit Max by accident. Max was then bumped forward, squashing Raku in the corner. Zakher took out Max with a dive out of the ring leaving Itoh to submit Raku with the Itoh Deluxe. Max had to drag a defeated Raku along the floor away from ringside.
With Raku moved up to Match #3, her spot in Match #2 was given to Ram Kaichow. What should have been a wonderful Las Vegas honeymoon for the wedded couple instead turned into confusion because Kaichow couldn’t find Raku anywhere in the ring. It didn’t take long for Rika Tatsumi to choke Kaichow while Shino Suzuki wanted to give her a tour of Vegas, calling one of the turnbuckle posts the High Roller casino. Vert Vixen then went on the attack until Kaichow faked fainting to make her opponent drop her guard. Viva Van fought off Tatsumi giving Suzuki the chance to try and beat Yuki Aino. That didn’t happen. Aino broke out of her Sleeper Hold and after the match broke down into a free for all, Aino pinned Suzuki with the Venus DDT.
Yuki Arai can celebrate her American debut because she got her hand raised against Arisu Endo. She got off to a good start using kicks and Big Boots, leading up to the Sharpshooter. Endo reached the ropes and turned the tables by putting Arai in the Camel Clutch to make her fight for a rope break in the same way. Endo tried to set up the Ju no Okite but Arai escaped and hit the Full Nelson Buster. Her first attempt at the Finally was blocked but after hitting the Rookie Award, she hit her finisher on the next attempt to win. Arai said she was very happy that Endo was her first opponent in America and she wants to see more of the country. She isn’t satisfied by where she is at now so will aim to grow by working hard even more. Endo was also happy to be Arai’s first opponent now that Arai is fully dedicated to pro wrestling. Next time Endo says she won’t lose!
The show began with a performance from the three members of The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) who were booked on the show. Raku also revealed that Amtrak was her Train Of The Day. Congratulations to Amtrak.
