With Yuka Sakazaki unable to wrestle and the Princess Tag Team Titles now vacated, Tokyo Joshi Pro decided to replace the planned title defence with a 2 Vs 1 Handicap Match instead. Management talked to Mizuki, Rika Tatsumi and Miu Watanabe before coming to this decision. Apparantely Mizuki wants to do her best against Daydream by herself.

The No. 1 Contender match for the International Princess Title is now moved up to the main event. Yuki Aino was a guest on Samurai TV! yesterday and was shown a video message from her sister Nodoka Tenma wishing her luck against Arisu Endo.

Sakazaki will be in attendance for tomorrow’s show to give a message for the fans explaining her absence.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “UP UP GIRLS (PRO WRESTLING) 2ND SHOW GRAB IT! THE HIGHEST STAGE!” Results

June 10, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “UP UP GIRLS (PRO WRESTLING) 2ND SHOW GRAB IT! THE HIGHEST STAGE!”, 10/06/2023
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans

1. Moka Miyamoto & Toga defeated Arisu Endo & Shino Suzuki when Miyamoto submitted Suzuki with the Rashomon (?:??).
2. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta defeated Wakana Uehara & Haru Kazashiro when Noa pinned Uehara after the 5G (?:??).
3. Miu Watanabe & Suzume defeated Raku & HIMAWARI when Watanabe pinned HIMAWARI with the Tear Drop (?:??).

The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) held their own event that was a mixture of music concert and pro wrestling matches. The first half of the show was a concert with a full playlist including solo performances from each of the women as well as the debut of two new songs “Rock It Now” and “babyface”.

Then three wrestling matches were held featuring the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster including The Up Up Girls themselves Miu Watanabe, Hikari Noa, Raku & Shino Suzuki. Once that was completed came the big news story of the show. The Up Up Girls has a new member joining the group! Her name is Uta, she is from Ishikawa, she was born on 29th March, 2007 and she stands at 150cm tall. Watanabe is both her favorite idol and wrestler. She also likes ice cream. She performed “Upper Kick” (the second time the song was performed) with the rest of the unit to close out the show.

Yuka Sakazaki Absence Due To Neck Injury

June 9, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STICK OUT ’23”, 11/06/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Pom Harajuku Vs HIMAWARI
2. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta Vs Toga & Runa Okubo
3. Shoko Nakajima & Moka Miyamoto Vs Suzume & Haru Kazashiro
4. Yuki Kamifuku, Kaya Toribami & Wakane Uehara Vs Yuki Arai, Raku & Shino Suzuki
5. Hyper Misao Vs Mahiro Kiryu
6. International Princess Title Next Challenger Match: Yuki Aino Vs Arisu Endo
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe

Today Tokyo Joshi Pro announced that Yuka Sakazaki is pulling out of her upcoming match schedule due to a neck injury. Results of a recent medical checkup had doctors recommend Sakazaki to take immediate rest and receive treatment instead of wrestling for the time being. According to TJPW, Sakazaki was determined to wrestle on Sunday’s show because it was the first match in her graduation tour. However she was warned that her neck injury could lead to a serious accident in the ring. It is the duty of both wrestlers and wrestling companies to prevent such accidents from happening. After hearing that explanation, Sakazaki agreed to miss the show and take time off for recovery.

There is currently no timetable for Sakazaki’s return which means some big plans for TJPW need to be changed. The Magical Sugar Rabbits have vacated the Princess Tag Team Titles because Sakazaki is missing the scheduled title defence on Sunday. A replacement match will be announced as soon as it is finalized. No word yet on if the new match will immediately crown the next Princess Tag Champions or will set up a match for the vacant titles down the road. But given who is available it should be something involving Mizuki and Daydream. Also Sakazaki’s match with Nyla Rose at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’23” on 8th July is now cancelled. Rose will still be wrestling on the show in a singles match but her new opponent will be announced on a later date.

New Up Up Girls Show, IP Title No. 1 Contender Match, SILVER QUEEN, Time To Get Assessed

June 5, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “UP UP GIRLS (PRO WRESTLING) 2ND SHOW GRAB IT! THE HIGHEST STAGE!”, 10/06/2023
Shinjuku FACE

1. Moka Miyamoto & Toga Vs Arisu Endo & Shino Suzuki
2. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta Vs Wakana Uehara & Haru Kazashiro
3. Miu Watanabe & Suzume Vs Raku & HIMAWARI

For the first time in four and a half years The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) are holding their own show featuring music performances as well as wrestling matches. The first show was a milestone for the unit because it was where each member revealed their pro wrestling names as well debuting their song “Upper Chop!” Shino Suzuki already has her ring name. Unless at the show she decides to change it to Susususu Suzuki?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STICK OUT ’23”, 11/06/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Pom Harajuku Vs HIMAWARI
2. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta Vs Toga & Runa Okubo
3. Shoko Nakajima & Moka Miyamoto Vs Suzume & Haru Kazashiro
4. Yuki Kamifuku, Kaya Toribami & Wakane Uehara Vs Yuki Arai, Raku & Shino Suzuki
5. Hyper Misao Vs Mahiro Kiryu
6. International Princess Title Next Challenger Match: Yuki Aino Vs Arisu Endo
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe

Two wrestlers have stepped forward asking for a shot at the International Princess Title for different reasons. Yuki Aino wants to win the championship after seeing there are women all over the world coming to Tokyo Joshi Pro to fight for it. Arisu Endo was inspired to ask for a shot after standing in her friend Suzume’s corner during last month’s title match. The two will face off in a singles match with the winner getting to challenge Rika Tatsumi somewhere down the road.

A few weeks ago Hyper Misao made Mahiro Kiryu the hero of her own story at the “HYPE!” event. Now they have to be opponents. Misao didn’t see this match coming but understands she will have to beat her friend, even if it ends Kiryu’s momentum coming out of “HYPE!”

Yuki Arai is cleared to return to wrestling on this show. Her return match is also the first time she will be teaming with Raku & Shino Suzuki. That fact is making her look forward to returning even more.

English commentary for the show will be provided by Chris Brookes, Drew Parker and Baliyan Akki.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2023 TOUR IN HAKODATE”, 16/06/2023
Hakodate City General Wholesale Center Distribution Hall

1. SILVER QUEEN Infomercial Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Kazuki Hirata Vs MAO & Yoshihiko

DDT is bringing back the Infomercial Match. It is a wrestling match purposefully put together to promote a local sponsor. For example the sponsor for this show is SILVER QUEEN, a restaurant marketed towards fans of the singer Eikichi Yazawa (the inspiration for Antonio Honda’s alter ego A.YAZAWA).

BASARA “BASARA 222 ~OENSOGURA~”, 17/06/2023
Miyagi-no Cultural Center

1. Lil’ Kraken Vs Yasu Urano
2. FUMA & Daichi Kazato Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & SAGAT

6. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2023 – Round 2 B Block: Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Fuminori Abe

Three of the four remaining wrestlers in the B Block are former Chouten ~Itadaki~ winners. Takumi Tsukamoto has never won the tournament but he is the current Union MAX Champion. Meanwhile Ryota Nakatsu is a two time winner while Minoru Fujita and Fuminori Abe are the two most recent tournament champions.

Isami Kodaka being knocked out of the tournament early frees him up for a first time singles match against MUSASHI from Michinoku Pro.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2023”, 25/06/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai, Hideki Okatani & Sanshiro Takagi Vs Ryota Nakatsu, Yuki Ishida, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku
2. International Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo Vs Nick Wayne
3. DDT Extreme Title: MAO Vs Kazuki Hirata
4. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima

This past weekend saw Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul attack Toy Kojima with chairs before throwing their names in for the vacant KO-D Tag Team Titles match. DAMNATION T.A are entering the match thinking the championship is as good as theirs. Kojima has Yuki Ueno backing him up and will be fighting to bring the belts back to The 37KAMIINA on Shunma Katsumata’s behalf.

MAO has threatened to kick Kazuki Hirata to death in order to win the vacant DDT Extreme Title. However Hirata is always ready and expecting to be kicked to death in his matches so MAO will have to think about doing something else!

BASARA “BASARA 223 ~KOO~”, 27/06/2023
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2023 – A Block Final: Daiki Shimomura Vs SAGAT
2. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2023 – B Block Final: X Vs X
3. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2023 – Final: X Vs X

Daiki Shimomura joins SAGAT in the semi-finals. Shimomura had to beat Kodaka to get hear while SAGAT had a much more peaceful route thanks to a bye sending him past the previous round without him having to wrestle.

GANBARE☆PRO “WRESTLE SEKIGAHARA II”, 09/07/2023
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Riara Vs Sayaka Unagi
2. Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Miyuki Takase
3. YuuRI & Tomoka Inaba Vs Takumi Iroha & Mio Momono
4. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao Vs Akito, Shota & Shinichiro Tominaga
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Hikaru Sato & Tyson Maeguchi (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Takuya Wada
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

Friends, training partners, wrestling rivals and now a tag team. That describes the relationship between Shuichiro Katsumura & Takuya Wada. They’ve never been able to fight each other in MMA due to being in different weight classes and also different companies. But they are joining forces believing they are the only two fighters who can defeat Hentai Punch Drunkers for the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles. Their challenge was accepted by Tyson Maeguchi before Hikaru Sato could give his thoughts on the matter.

It will soon be time for Riara to get assessed by Sayaka Unagi. Apparently that’s a thing a lot of joshi has to go through these days. Unagi offered to wrestle on Ganbare☆Pro’s biggest show of the year again as a favour to her friend Yuna Manase. Since Manase is currently injured, Riara was chosen to be Unagi’s opponent. The two already knew each other while Riara was training to be a pro wrestler. Unagi’s lesson for her is it takes more than just having the “ganbare” spirit to succeed in wrestling.

The 6-Man Tag Match is a reunion on both sides. Akito, Shota & Shinichiro Tominaga represent the Young Communication Generation while Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao are back together as Team Drift.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR IN SPRING ’23” Results

June 4, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR IN SPRING ’23”, 04/06/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
194 Fans

1. Moka Miyamoto defeated Shino Suzuki with the Rashomon (5:59).
2. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Toga with the Famouser (6:09).
3. Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Wakana Uehara defeated Mahiro Kiryu, Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo when Kakuta submitted Kazashiro with a Shoulder Lock (9:05).
4. Hyper Misao defeated HIMAWARI with the I Am A Hero (9:14).
5. Mizuki & Suzume defeated Shoko Nakajima & Kaya Toribami when Mizuki pinned Toribami with the Diving Foot Stomp (11:29).
6. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Arisu Endo Vs Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).

A time limit draw in the main event left Yuki Aino feeling frustrated. She wanted to win the match and then challenge Rika Tatsumi for the International Princess Title. It is the championship she wants most because there are women all around the world coming to Tokyo Joshi Pro to fight for it. She went ahead and asked Tatsumi for a title shot anyway until Arisu Endo interrupted her. She wants to challenge Tatsumi too and asked the champion to pick her instead. Endo was inspired to chase after the title after seeing Suzume’s match against Tatsumi up close last month. Tatsumi decided that Aino and Endo will face each other at the 11th June Korakuen Hall show and the winner will be her next challenger.

The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) will be holding their own show in Shinjuku FACE on 10th June. TJPW will be providing matches at the event with at least one Up Up Girl in every bout.

This weekend’s shows have been changed around to make up for Brookes’ absence. Kazusada Higuchi is living up to his promise to help Brookes prepare for the KO-D Openweight Title match as much as he can and still intends to put Yuji Hino’s to the test this weekend.

The Yokohama show is changed a lot because of Brookes’ injury. Masahiro Takanashi replaces him in the main event, MAO now has to team with Mei Suruga again, Yuni will be teaming with Yuki Ueno to fight their bosses Sanshiro Takagi & Akito plus more changes were made down the card.

The Kanagawa show the next day does not have as many changes. MAO replaces Brookes in the main event, turning Harimao into HariMAO! Also Soma Takao is now getting booked to take MAO’s original spot in the Yoshiaki Yatsu match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~SHOKO NAKAJIMA LOCAL TRIUMPH~”, 05/08/2023
Niigata Dúo CEREZO

This show is a long way out but I’m including it for the list of talent announced so far: Yuki Arai, Aja Kong and… Super Sasadango Machine? Well the event it taking place in his hometown after all. Last time he was in Tokyo Joshi Pro it was to help Hyper Misao reveal she got married.

Brookes Might Be Injured, Nyla Rose Coming To TJPW, Kodaka Challenges For SOG Title

May 29, 2023

A little bit of worrying news comes from today’s Gatoh Move show. CDK were defending the Asia Dream Tag Team Titles against Shin Suzuki & Choun-Shiryu. During the match Shiryu gave Chris Brookes the Chinese Gory Special Bomb and Brookes injured his shoulder, stopping the match. Suzuki & Shiryu were declared the winners and Masahiro Takanashi handed them over the championship belts because the result counts as a title change. Takanashi reappeared later in the show to tell the fans that Brookes was on the way to the hospital for a diagnosis and his message to everyone is he’s feeling fine. The last thing DDT needs right now is another injury, especially to one of the headliners for their next Sumo Hall show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR IN SPRING ’23”, 04/06/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Wakana Uehara Vs Mahiro Kiryu, Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo
2. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Toga

4. Hyper Misao Vs HIMAWARI
5. Mizuki & Suzume Vs Shoko Nakajima & Kaya Toribami
6. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Arisu Endo Vs Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku

The strongest trio in Tokyo Joshi Pro lately are Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku. Can they keep their run of success going against Daydream & Arisu Endo? Especially if Rika Tatsumi & Endo figure out how to summon back their heel gimmick from “HYPE!” and go act violently again. Miu Watanabe is too cheerful for that life though.

Over the weekend Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima made appeals to DDT asking to be one of the teams fighting for the vacant KO-D Tag Team Titles. With ShunMao stepping aside and vacating the belts, Kojima wanted his team with Ueno to represent The 37KAMIINA in the championship match. Despite losing his recent matches, Kojima impressed management enough to grant his request.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’23”, 08/07/2023
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Miyu Yamashita Vs Sawyer Wreck
2. Yuka Sakazaki Vs Nyla Rose
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Maki Itoh

When Yuka Sakazaki announced her plans to graduate TJPW at the end of the year, she said one of her remaining wishes was to wrestle somebody from AEW at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’23”. The invitation was accepted and AEW is sending over Nyla Rose! The former AEW Women’s Champion has wrestled in Japan before but this will be her first time in TJPW. They’ve been opponents in tag matches on Dark before and they also once fought each other in a Triple Threat match along with Riho. This match however is the first time they will face off one on one.

GANBARE☆PRO “WRESTLE SEKIGAHARA II”, 09/07/2023
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Miyuki Takase
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

The biggest show of the year for Ganbare☆Pro will be headlined with an inter-promotional match against BASARA with their biggest prize on the line. Mizuki Watase is defending the Spirit Of Ganbare Title against Isami Kodaka and both men will be carrying the flag for their respective promotions. The fighting talk between the two from yesterday suggests this won’t be the end to the rivalry. Watase has promised to continue defending the SOG Title against BASARA wrestlers after he beats Kodaka. In return Kodaka has offered to do the same with GanPro talent if he beats Watase for the belt.

Almost one year after she joined GanPro, Yoshiko Hasegawa gets a special singles match against her senpai Miyuki Takase. Hasegawa owes a lot to Takase for taking care of her during her absence away from wrestling. The best way she can pay her back is to show how much she has grown under GanPro and beat her in their first singles match against each other.

Freelance wrestler Kuma Arashi has suddenly offered to wrestle on GanPro shows after attending yesterday’s shows and being impressed with the company’s passion. He had a match in GanPro once before in 2020 back when he was signed to WRESTLE-1. The atmosphere he felt yesterday reminded him of W1 and convinced him to give this place another shot. He also wants to form a tag team with Ken Ohka while he is here.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR IN SPRING ’23” Results

May 27, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR IN SPRING ’23”, 27/05/2023
Kanagawa Fujisawa City Shonandai Cultural Center
361 Fans

1. Hikari Noa defeated Haru Kazashiro with the Blue Racer (4:21).
2. Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku defeated Toga & Runa Okubo when Aino pinned Toga with the Venus DDT (6:32).
3. Mizuki & Raku defeated Hyper Misao & Shino Suzuki when Mizuki pinned Suzuki with the Face Lock (9:54).
4. Nao Kakuta & Asuka defeated Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami when Asuka pinned Toribami with the Moonsault Press (10:51).
5. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & HIMAWARI defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & Wakana Uehara when Watanabe pinned Uehara with the Tear Drop (11:20).
6. Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Aja Kong & Mahiro Kiryu when Kamifuku pinned Kiryu with the Diving Famouser (17:17).

Yuki Kamifuku’s homecoming was a big occasion with some of the sales from the show being donated to a Fujisawa City scholarship program. The mayor of the city was in attendance and Kamfuku’s good friend Asuka was also featured on the undercard. Kamifuku teamed with Shoko Nakajima in the main event to take on Aja Kong & Mahiro Kiryu. Kong used her tin can as a weapon on her opponents but missed a vital shot that hit Kiryu instead. Kamifuku then landed the Diving Famouser on Kiryu to win the match.

After the match she thanked Kong for taking part in the show. Kong told Kamifuku that next time they should team up together and then after that they should do a singles match against each other! She suggested they can even do the singles match at the Akibadai Cultural Gymnasium nearby. Kamifuku wasn’t sure if it is possible to set up the singles match without management’s approval but Kong insisted she consider the idea. Kamifuku replied that if it ever does happen she will do her best to sell every ticket she can.

Meanwhile Kong had some words for Kiryu backstage, mainly to motivate her. She wanted to show everyone that Kiryu is not a small fry and encouraged her to show no fear when fighting to catch up with Kamifuku. This isn’t a friendly competition, it is all about getting to the top.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

2. International Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo Vs Nick Wayne
3. DDT Extreme Title: MAO Vs Kazuki Hirata
4. KO-D Tag Team Titles: X & X Vs X & X

MAO and Kazuki Hirata have been chosen to compete in the vacant DDT Extreme Title match. MAO thinks it is fitting to be the next person to hold the title after Katsumata. Hirata understands that would be lovely story telling but that doesn’t matter because he is going to win it instead! He expects the match to be so exciting it will help Katsumata recover quicker.

Now in his 30s, Tetsuya Endo is starting to notice it takes longer for him to recover from his matches so it motivates him to see the next generation rise. That is why he wants to face Nick Wayne in a singles match for Wayne’s DDT debut in Japan to keep him sharp for Matt Cardona in July.

Sanshiro Takagi wants to team up with Eruption one time before Saki Akai’s retirement takes place. His King Of DDT match against Sakaguchi also inspired him to come up with the idea. Ryota Nakatsu is looking forward to facing Takagi because he likes fighting his bosses. Just ask Isami Kodaka in BASARA.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2023”, 23/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special Tag Match: Chiitan☆ & Pokotan Vs Andreza Giant Panda & Super Sasadango Machine

3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida (c) Vs Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani
4. DDT Universal Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Matt Cardona (w/ Steph De Lander)
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuji Hino (c) Vs Chris Brookes

One of Akai’s requests before she retires is try and win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles with Eruption one more time. Takagi immediately put the match together for “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2023”.
