5. Marika Kobashi Graduation Commemorative Match – 1 Vs 20 Handicap Tag Match: Shoko Nakajima, Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Maki Itoh, Miyu Yamashita, Rika Tatsumi, Hyper Misao, Yuki Aino, Miu Watanabe, Raku, Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta, Yuki Kamifuku, Suzume, Arisu Endo, Moka Miyamoto, Pom Harajuku, Haruna Neko, Mahiro Kiryu & Yuki Arai (3) defeated Marika Kobashi (0) (21:10).
5a. Everyone pinned Marika Kobashi with the Goodnight Express (2:26).
5b. Raku submitted Marika Kobashi with a Front Neck Lock (17:41).
5c. Miyu Yamashita pinned Marika Kobashi with the Attitude Adjustment (21:10).

Marika Kobashi has called time on her wrestling career in Tokyo Joshi Pro. While it is not a full on retirement from pro wrestling, she wants to focus on other priorities for the remainder of her college life. So who knows, maybe this won’t be the last time we see her in the squared circle again somewhere. Her final match was a special 1 Vs 20 Handicap match with the goal for either side to win three falls. The first fall began with Kobashi taking on Shoko Nakajima. Soon Raku was tagged in and her Goodnight Express spot ended up with the entire team of 20 all piling on top of Kobashi to pin her. In the second fall, the team launched a Train Attack on Kobashi. Tetsuya Koda was forced by Yuka Sakazaki to join in. Kobashi cut him off with a kick and pinned him with the Bakachinga Elbow but it didn’t count. Raku instead got involved again and used Kobashi’s signature submission hold the Front Neck Lock against her to secure the second fall. The third fall ended up being the final one when Miyu Yamashita pinned Kobashi with the Attitude Adjustment.

After the match Kobashi was given gifts and bouquets from the roster. She said when she first joined TJPW she didn’t know how to interact with everyone. She hit her walls but pro wrestling was always there to support her. It is what made her into the strong and affectionate person she is today. She reminded everyone her decision is to graduate, not to retire, because she has a desire to move onto new things that are not pro wrestling. She hopes these new experiences will make her a more wonderful pro wrestler and that some day she can meet everyone in TJPW again. She made a promise to beat Abdullah Kobayashi so neither of them can retire until it happens.

Today’s preview match between Shoko Nakajima and Hyper Misao saw the upcoming challenger get the better of the champion. Misao did so by attacking Nakajima with the Princess Of Princess Title belt! Misao grabbed the title and posed with it during her pre-bell ambush, then later used it as a weapon after a ref bump. She took out Nakajima with the Hypami Returns and used the same move on Arisu Endo to win the match. Misao thinks Nakajima’s upcoming visit to England is not an excursion but a desertion. Today’s win is good for Misao because she believes it sends out the message that the title will belong to her sooner or later. Nakajima said she always has fun whenever she teams with Misao but being on the other end of her pranks and tactics in the ring makes her angry.

The 9th annual Tokyo Princess Cup will began with three consecutive shows at Ryogoku KFC Hall on the 16th, 17th and 18th July. It will move over to Shinjuku FACE on the 23rd, then the Quarter Finals will take place in Otemachi Mitsui Hall on the 31st. The semi-finals are at Korakuen Hall on 13th August and the final will be in the same venue on the 14th.

Marika’s Graduation Match, MAX Title Bout Sponsored, Pheromones Spoil Imabayashi’s Training

April 13, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR ’22”, 17/04/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Marika Kobashi Graduation Commemorative Match – 1 Vs 20 Handicap Tag Match: Marika Kobashi Vs Shoko Nakajima, Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Maki Itoh, Miyu Yamashita, Rika Tatsumi, Hyper Misao, Yuki Aino, Miu Watanabe, Raku, Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta, Yuki Kamifuku, Suzume, Arisu Endo, Moka Miyamoto, Pom Harajuku, Haruna Neko, Mahiro Kiryu & Yuki Arai

Almost the entire Tokyo Joshi Pro roster will get to say goodbye to Marika Kobashi all at once. She has to go through a team of 20 wrestlers before she can graduate so any loose ends involving her can get to be tied up. These kind of graduation matches have been done before and sometimes have extra stipulations or rules added to them but at the moment it looks to be a straightforward Handicap match where Kobashi takes on the world by herself.

If you notice someone is missing that is because Kaya Toribami is not here. She has something else scheduled that day and won’t be on the show.

BASARA “BASARA 189 ~GLITTER~”, 28/04/2022

The main event is being sponsored by the bus company GRACE GROUP. They are a regular sponsor with DDT and provides tour buses for them and Tokyo Joshi Pro. I think this might be the first time they are sponsoring BASARA in some form.

8. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Asuka
9. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Yuki Ueno

This week Hisaya Imabayashi was invited over to the SAWAKI GYM for a special training session with AKIRA. Imabayashi made a promise to stand up for himself against Pheromones so his children will think he is cool. Although Imabayashi is not a physical specimen of any sort, his passion and determination was on show while he worked out with AKIRA. However when AKIRA briefly left the room to take a phone call, Pheromones creeped into the gym. They approached Imabayashi from behind and pulled his shirt over his head so he wouldn’t notice who they were. They then tricked him into doing lewd workouts in his underwear. It wasn’t until AKIRA returned and stopped them when Imabayashi realised he’s been embarrassed again! After Pheromones left, Imabayashi apologised to AKIRA but AKIRA told him he has to continue training if he wants to win. The DDT GM agreed and they finished their workout as intended, all so his kids think he is cool!

BURNING has a two pronged attack going into this show. Tetsuya Endo is confident he will defend the KO-D Openweight Title against Yuki Ueno next month but Ueno thinks it is a guarantee that he will beat Endo instead. Jun Akiyama will be challenging CDK for the KO-D Tag Team Titles soon and made it known he dislikes their cheating ways, like when they get the referee physically involved in their matches.

MAO gets another tag match against Asuka & Yuji Hino. This time he has Shunma Katsumata teaming with him.

He won’t give any hints unless he gets goes out and gets drunk with a reporter that will pay his tab.

The brief period of success for Toui Kojima has worn off and he is back to his losing ways. He won a match after fighting Shinya Aoki and thinks doing it again will bring him back to winning ways.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND 2022 ~SPREAD THE WINGS OF YOUR DREAMS~”, 03/05/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Hyper Misao

Now it is Kyoraku Kyomei who are fighting over the Princess Of Princess Title. The challenge was made by Hyper Misao in order to become stronger. She needs to fight the toughest opponent and that right now is Shoko Nakajima. The two are still friends but Misao quickly launched the first shot, giving Nakajima a Stunner to warn her to keep her guard up at all times!

The Magical Sugar Rabbits are not taking Free WiFi seriously. They kept making connectivity jokes instead of accepting their opponents’ challenge.

Tokyo Joshi Pro has confirmed that Reika Saiki’s retirement ceremony will be held during the show.

GANBARE☆PRO “LOVE PHANTOM 2022”, 03/05/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Punch Drunker Vs Nobleman Of The Spirit World: Tyson Maeguchi Vs Onryo
2. Nippon Ganbare Union Vs VENYU Full-Scale Battle: Yuna Manase & YuuRI Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Asuka
3. Ganpro Special Single Match ~A Better Tomorrow~: Ken Ohka Vs Muscle Sakai
4. Shinjiro Otani Ganpro Return Battle ~LOVE PHANTNOM 2022 Special Tag Match~: Shinjiro Otani & Mizuki Watase Vs Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Tatsuhito Takaiwa (c) Vs Yumehito Imanari

The contract for the main event has been signed but Yumehito Imanari is looking out of his depth. Tatsuhito Takaiwa tricked him into lowering his guard so he could hit him with a Lariat during the signing. He previously beat Imanari to become the Spirit Of Ganbare Title but that was part of a tournament. Since both wrestlers will be fresh going into the match this time, Takaiwa wonders if the true champion is going to be determined.

Match #4 will not be happening. Shinjiro Otani suffered a scary injury at yesterday’s ZERO1 show in Sumo Hall when he took a German Suplex into the turnbuckles. He is still conscious but hasn’t been able to move his limbs since. There is no official diagnosis yet but Otani’s wrestling career might be over.

An old friend of Ken Ohka has come to offer him guidance. Muscle Sakai misses the days when Ganbare☆Pro was built around Ohka and wants him to headline Ganpro’s biggest show in Ota Ward Gymnasium this Summer. But Ohka is nowhere near ready for it so Sakai will wrestle him to bring that spark back and prepare him for his return to the main event.

Yuna Manase got a surprise visit from a friend too. Yuki Kamifuku is calling by Ganpro for a visit so she can catch up with her. However Kamifuku is now besties with Asuka while Manase has formed the Nippon Ganbare Union with YuuRI. If that’s not enough, one of YuuRI’s first matches in Ganpro was a disappointed effort against Asuka. This is her chance to make up for it by putting up a better fight.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION” Results

April 10, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 10/04/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
107 Fans

1. Miyu Yamashita defeated Kaya Toribami with the Attitude Adjustment (7:03).
2. Yuka Sakazaki defeated Moka Miyamoto with a Chickenwing Lock (11:25).
3. Marika Kobashi & Abdullah Kobayashi defeated SAKI & Antonio Honda when Kobashi pinned Honda with the Bakachinga Elbow Drop (17:29).
3a. Extra Match: Abdullah Kobayashi Vs Marika Kobashi ended in a Time Limit Draw (3:00).
4. Rika Tatsumi defeated Suzume with the White Dragon Sleeper (13:32).

The latest edition of “TJPW INSPIRATION” presented two matches where one wrestler got to be in the ring with someone who influenced them. In the main event Suzume faced Rika Tatsumi, the woman she aspires to be. She wasn’t able to beat her but Tatsumi was left impressed by her opponent. It was a chance for Suzume to look at herself and see how much she has grown. She is catching up with her seniors but can’t stop because they too are also moving forward. Suzume promised she will continue to fly higher whether it’s as a singles wrestler or in a tag team.

The other big match of the show had Marika Kobashi team up with her favourite pro wrestler, Abdullah Kobayashi. The origin of this story is Kobashi first met Kobayashi back when she was in elementary school. She then became a fan of his in junior high school after seeing him wrestle in a shopping district. In fact, he is one of the reasons why Kobashi took that name for her moniker. Getting the chance to team with him today was a dream come true for her. They won too, beating SAKI & Antonio Honda when the two of them gave Honda the Bakachinga Elbow.

That wasn’t all though. Kobayashi said he wanted to wrestle against Kobashi and challenged her to a match right there and then! However he had a busy evening ahead of him so he only had time for the match to have a 3 minute time limit. The match began with Kobashi threw Dropkicks, Chops and Elbow Strikes but Kobayashi stopped her with a Headbutt. He landed the Bakachinga Elbow but Kobashi kicked out and the match ended in a time limit draw. Kobayashi told her not to forget these feelings after she graduates from pro wrestling. Also she is still young so she can always come back to wrestling in the future. Kobashi thanked him for making her dream come true. She also explained her graduation from Tokyo Joshi Pro does not mean she is retiring from pro wrestling. She is going to grow up and become stronger. She told Kobayashi not to retire while she is gone because she will come back as a cool lady wrestler ready to crush him!

Two other singles matches filled up the small card. Yuka Sakazaki submitted Moka Miyamoto with a Chickenwing Lock. Sakazaki spent the match tying up Miyamoto in other submission holds. Miyamoto had some of her own like the Rashomon and a Sleeper Hold. That Sleeper Hold though was countered into the Chickenwing leading to the finish.

Miyu Yamashita beat Kaya Toribami in a similar match where the veteran put their less experience opponent through a tough challenge. Toribami did avoid the Attitude Adjustment early but the move was successfully pulled off later to finish her off.

The show began with Shoko Nakajima announcing she will be wrestling in London, England for EVE on 23rd April. That means she will not be at the Ryogoku KFC Hall show on the 24th. Nakajima said she wants to travel around the world and England will be the third country she will have wrestled in. Her goal is to make it to 100!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STILL INCOMPLETE ’22” Results

April 9, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STILL INCOMPLETE ’22”, 09/04/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
509 Fans

1. Pom Harajuku & Moka Miyamoto defeated Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami when Harajuku pinned Toribami with the Pom de Justice (8:52).
2. Miyu Yamashita defeated Juria Nagano with the Skull Kick (4:12).
3. Marika Kobashi defeated Raku with the Run-Up Bulldog Headlock (6:43).
4. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta defeated Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku when Kakuta pinned Kamifuku with the Shiden Kai (11:31).
5. Hyper Misao defeated Miu Watanabe with the Vanitas (11:01).
6. Saki Akai & Yuki Arai defeated Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu when Arai pinned Kiryu with the Finally (13:20).
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Mizuki pinned Endo with the Diving Foot Stomp (16:05).
*V3 for The Magical Sugar Rabbits.
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) defeated Yuki Aino with the Diving Senton (15:49).
*V1 for Shoko Nakajima.

A new chapter in Tokyo Joshi Pro began with Shoko Nakajima scoring her first Princess Of Princess Title defence against Yuki Aino. The challenger put forth a strong effort to show she is ready to fight on her own but Nakajima planted her with the Double Arm DDT and got the pin with the Diving Senton. She told Aino she will continue winning and moving forward. She hopes Aino will do the same. The two shook hands over the apron after Aino left the ring.

Hyper Misao then entered the ring challenging Nakajima for the Princess Title! Misao believes the reason why their Kyoraku Kyomei tag team always blow it during their most crucial moments is because she is weak. Misao was losing faith in herself but today she won her match after being pushed into a corner and feels like she has finally woken up. For Kyoraku Kyomei to improve, Misao has to grow stronger and to do that she needs to beat Nakajima for the championship! Nakajima accepted the challenge for 3rd May and the two shook hands. Then suddenly Misao gave her the Stunner! She said the battle has now begun and Nakajima shouldn’t let her guard down because Misao will tear the belt from her if she has too!

The newly renamed Daisy Monkey wanted to prove that their bond is just as strong as The Magical Sugar Rabbits. They hit them quick with plenty of double team moves and Dropkicks. Mizuki cut off Arisu Endo’s momentum and they dying minutes of the match came down to them. Suzume did her best to stop Yuka Sakazaki but Mizuki kicked her away so Sakazaki could go hit the Magical Girl Splash onto Endo. Mizuki then followed up with the Diving Foot Stomp to get the victory.

After the match, Free WiFi came out to confront MagiRabi. Both Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta politely asked for the two teams to connect together for a Princess Tag Team Titles match. MagiRabi began making jokes that they couldn’t hear Free WiFi because they have a bad connection and they left without accepting the challenge. Kakuta won’t take no for an answer though and told everyone the title match will take place on 3rd May. Backstage Sakazaki said Daisy Monkey had more guts than she expected. She made more jokes about Free WiFi being on 3G while MagiRabi are on 5G. Meanwhile Kakuta has heard the rumours about how every tag partner Noa has ends up leaving her and disappearing. She promises she won’t do that to her.

Reiwa AA Cannon is off to a good start, winning their first match together. Saki Akai & Yuki Arai showed off the double ring entrance they were working on together during the week. In the match itself they used a Double Big Boot to good effect. Akai got rid of Rika Tatsumi with the Quetzalcoatl. Arai then got a three count on Mahiro Kiryu with the Finally. Akai said she will watch over Arai to see how she grows and is looking forward to seeing how their destinies will be intertwined in the future.

Misao’s big win to kick off her big title challenge was at the expense of Miu Watanabe. When the match begun Misao handed Watanabe her CV to audition for The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling). It was of course a trap to make Watanabe drop her guard. Misao took her out of the ring and tried to trap her underneath the floor mat for a countout win but it just about failed. In the end Misao dusted off the Vanitas finisher she used from her darker days to beat Watanabe.

Free WiFi beat MakiYuki Happy to get them their Princess Tag Titles shot. They offered a handshake before the match but Maki Itoh refused, causing them to attack Yuki Kamifuku. WiFi’s teamwork led to Kakuta pinning Kamifuku with the Shiden Kai.

In her final match at Korakuen Hall, Marika Kobashi gets to leave the venue with a win. She beat Raku in a singles match and the two left ringside together happy for each other. Kobashi said Raku was the first person in TJPW she became friends with. It’s because of Raku that Kobashi got to show her true self and they have a lot of memories together. The match made Kobashi happy because it showed her that Raku has the muddy side of a pro wrestler to go along with her cute personality outside of the ring. Raku said she knows Kobashi will still be watching her after she graduates.

There were strikes and kicks aplenty when Miyu Yamashita fought the rookies Juria Nagano. The karate background of both women were on display as the two tried to get the better of each other. Nagano’s big mistake came when she missed the Brazilian Kick, giving Yamashita the opening to throw the Skull Kick and win the match. Nagano said she was honored to face Yamashita one on one in just her second pro wrestling match. The Low Kicks she took left her feeling heavy because they are not part of traditional Karate. Yamashita thinks the rematch will be really interesting once Nagano has more pro wrestling experience. They may even do the rematch at a “TJPW INSPIRATION” show so they can use different rules.

In the opening match Moka Miyamoto kept Haruna Neko away so Pom Harajuku could pin Kaya Toribami with the Pom de Justice. Toribami just couldn’t figure out how to stop those shin kicks.

Daisy Monkey, Reiwa AA Cannon, Endo 10th Anniversary

April 8, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STILL INCOMPLETE ’22”, 09/04/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Pom Harajuku & Moka Miyamoto Vs Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami
2. Miyu Yamashita Vs Juria Nagano
3. Marika Kobashi Vs Raku
4. Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku Vs Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta
5. Hyper Misao Vs Miu Watanabe
6. Saki Akai & Yuki Arai Vs Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Yuki Aino

Arisuzu have a brand new tag team name. Suzume is the Daisy and Arisu Endo is the Monkey so together they are now called Daisy Monkey!

Saki Akai & Yuki Arai got together during the week for a special training session. First they announced their tag team name. They are called Reiwa AA Cannon. The AA stands for two things. They have the same blood type (A) and they both won the same Award for Best Newcomer from Tokyo Sports. Or maybe it’s just both of their surnames beginning with A and somebody wanted to make a BI Cannon reference. Akai wanted to teach Arai the most important thing in pro wrestling… The ring entrance! It is what shows off the individuality of a pro wrestler the most and walking out there looking like a bore will make fans lose interest. Arai agrees because it was the entrances that caught her eye when she saw pro wrestling for the first time. Akai taught Arai to copy her entrance and in returned then tried to replicate Arai’s entrance.

GANBARE☆PRO “CRY BABY 2022”, 09/04/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Ganpro Specialty Two Major Singles Match: Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Tyson Maeguchi
2. Ganpro Specialty Mixed 6-Man Tag Match: Yuna Manase, YuuRI & SAGAT Vs Moeka Haruhi, HARUKAZE & Baliyan Akki
3. Ganpro Specialty Two Major Singles Match: Ken Ohka Vs Mizuki Watase
4. Katsumura-gun Vs ROMANCE DAWN: Shuichiro Katsumura & Tsuyoshi Okada Vs Shota & Soma Takao

DDT “APRIL FOOL 22”, 10/04/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Toui Kojima & El Unicorn Vs Yuya Koroku & Ilusion
0. Dark Match: Toru Owashi, Naomi Yoshimura & Kazuki Hirata Vs Akito, Soma Takao & Gota Ihashi
1. KANON Vs Yuki Ishida
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi (c) Vs Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya
3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Minoru Fujita & MJ Paul
4. DDT 25th Anniversary Special Tag Match: Saki Akai & Maya Yukihi Vs Cherry & Miyako Matsumoto
5. Special Single Match: Shunma Katsumata Vs Yusuke Okada
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs Eruption!: Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani
7. Tetsuya Endo 10th Anniversary Match: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Konosuke Takeshita, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda

10 years of Tetsuya Endo will be celebrated in the main event. Looking back on his debut I’m surprised Akito isn’t part of his match because Endo submitted to him back then. Keisuke Ishii and the wrestler now known as Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi were the other two people in that match but I can understand why DDT didn’t bring them over. How about this for trivia? Endo’s original tag partner for his debut was supposed to be another DDT rookie Takashi Dai. Unfortunately he suffered a career ending injury in his own debut match two weeks earlier so Ishii replaced him.

After this show Konosuke Takeshita will take part in an Youtube autograph signing and then that’s it for him in DDT for the time being. Don’t be surprised if he shows up somewhere in AEW next week because it sounds like the beginning of his excursion is imminent.

It’s unusual to see two KO-D championship matches placed so early on the card back to back. I don’t know what the schedules outside of DDT are like for the wrestlers involved so I can’t say for certain if it is because somebody is working somewhere else later that day. I don’t think it is for the partial live broadcast on Youtube either because it’s just the two dark matches that are being advertised for that.

DDT “THE WORLD’S BEST ROJO PRO WRESTLING TOURNAMENT ~KING OF STREET WRESTLING~”, 10/04/2022
WRESTLE UNIVERSE

1. King Of Street Wrestling – Round 1A – Tokyo Shin-Kiba Studio Flamme: Chris Brookes Vs Onryo
2. King Of Street Wrestling – Round 1B – Kanagawa Enoshima Beach: Hikaru Machida Vs Worawutnoi Keatchaiyong
3. King Of Street Wrestling – Round 1C – Kanagawa Big Japan Dojo: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Abdullah Kobayashi
4. King Of Street Wrestling – Round 1D – Tokyo Shibuya Kitaya Park: Shunma Katsumata Vs Suzu Suzuki

The opening round matches have already been taped (and may have been in the can for a while) but we won’t know the results until they are broadcasted.

DDT/ONLY WE “MAX BUMP 2022 TOUR IN CHIBA”, 17/04/2022
Chiba 2AW Square

1. Soma Takao Vs Yuya Koroku
2. Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani Vs Hiroshi Yamato, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida
3. Pheromones Vs The Iyasareru!: Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
4. Special Tag Match: Kaji Tomato & Yukio Naya Vs Akito & Shunma Katsumata
5. BURNING Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada Vs Yuki Ueno, MAO & Toui Kojima
6. DDT x ONLY WE Special 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Yuji Hino & Quiet Storm Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Shogun Okamoto & Akira Raijin

DDT is brought back into the world of ONLY WE and the group’s feud with PERON GRANDES. Joining the two sides is HARASHIMA teaming with ONLY WE and Daisuke Sasaki teaming with PERON GRANDES.

A nice little reunion for The Iyasareru is happening here. Or maybe not given who their opponents are. I can’t tell if DDT switching the naming positions of Yuki Iino & Danshoku Dieno on upcoming cards is an intentional hint of something coming up on the horizon or just a sign that Iino has become the centerpiece of Pheromones. Iino has been the more successful of the two in-ring recently but Dieno still looks like he is calling the shots.

DDT “DDT FREE -APRIL-”, 22/04/2022
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Tag Match: Shishamo Power & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Akito & Yukio Naya

After the masked man’s debut in January, Shishamo Power is back to wrestle in Tokyo for the first time but so far his trainer Toru Owashi is nowhere to be seen. He is teaming with Naomi Yoshimura but his opponents remain the same. Akito & Yukio Naya do not want the people to eat fish like Shishamo recommends. They are meat eaters through and through!

DDT “MAX BUMP 2022 TOUR IN KOBE”, 24/04/2022
Kobe Art Center

1. Chris Brookes Vs Yuya Koroku
2. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Akito & Toui Kojima
3. Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Yuki Ishida
4. DISASTER BOX Vs Eruption!: HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani
5. BURNING Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada Vs Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata
6. Kobe Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Genki Horiguchi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Antonio Honda

The addition of Genki Horiguchi to the show means Kazuki Hirata gets to take another step on his journey through the Dragon System. There’s an alternate universe where Hirata never left Kobe and instead he made it onto the DRAGONGATE roster. Who knows where his wrestling career would have taken him from there? I bet he and Horiguchi would have turned face and heel on each other at least twice both ways.

DDT “MEGA MAX BUMP 2022 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 01/05/2022
Yokohama Budokan

1. Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ Pheromones Vs GM Imabayashi Final Battle: Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari Vs Hisaya Imabayashi, AKIRA & Muscle Sakai
2. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Asuka
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Yuki Ueno

Yoshiaki Yatsu will be on the show.

Still Incomplete Is Complete, KANON Is Now Canon In DDT, GM Fights Pheromones

April 5, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STILL INCOMPLETE ’22”, 09/04/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Pom Harajuku & Moka Miyamoto Vs Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami
2. Marika Kobashi Vs Raku
3. Hyper Misao Vs Miu Watanabe
4. Miyu Yamashita Vs Juria Nagano
5. Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku Vs Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta
6. Saki Akai & Yuki Arai Vs Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Yuki Aino

The Princess Of Princess Title match is a fresh start for both wrestlers involved as well as for Tokyo Joshi Pro as a whole. Shoko Nakajima is kicking off her reign as the 10th champion and wants to give everyone everything she has. Yuki Aino is moving on from being primarily a tag team wrestler and turn into a leader like her seniors.

The new team on the block Arisuzu have been winning over people with their combined cuteness in the ring. Yuka Sakazaki wants to show them that being cute is not enough to become the champion. If Arisu Endo wins the Princess Tag Team Titles she wants to bring them to her hometown and proudly show them to her family. Suzume wants Arisuzu to win the belts and become a strong presence for TJPW. Mizuki wants to remind everyone that The Magical Sugar Rabbits are continuing to grow stronger. If MagiRabi successfully defend the Princess Tag Titles they have big plans for the rest of their title reign. Sakazaki would like to go beat up Mickey Mouse at Disneyland, Hello Kitty at Sanrio Puroland and then Pokotan if he is still around. Mizuki said something similar about defending the titles in theme parks but it sounds like mascots will be safe from her wrath.

Juria Nagano wants to hit Miyu Yamashita with all of her strength and have no regrets coming out of their match. Yamashita is happy to fight someone with a karate background similar to hers. Nagano thinks the difference between them is her own kicks were only ever used to score points in Karate while Yamashita has been kicking to hurt her opponents in pro wrestling for many years. She eventually wants her own kicks to become stronger than Yamashita’s. The Brazilian Kick would be her strike of choice in that situation.

DDT “APRIL FOOL 22”, 10/04/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Toui Kojima & El Unicorn Vs Yuya Koroku & Ilusion
0. Dark Match: Toru Owashi, Naomi Yoshimura & Kazuki Hirata Vs Akito, Soma Takao & Gota Ihashi
1. KANON Vs Yuki Ishida
2. The 37KAMIINA Vs Eruption!: Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani
3. Special Single Match: Shunma Katsumata Vs Yusuke Okada
4. DDT 25th Anniversary Special Tag Match: Saki Akai & Maya Yukihi Vs Cherry & Miyako Matsumoto
5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Minoru Fujita & MJ Paul
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi (c) Vs Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya
7. Tetsuya Endo 10th Anniversary Match: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Konosuke Takeshita, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda

The urgent appearance of KANON leads to an extra match added for this Sunday’s show. The newly freelanced wrestler takes on Yuki Ishida in the opening bout. KANON made his pro wrestling debut in JUST TAP OUT in July 2019 and has an athletic background in swimming and volleyball. He comes to DDT interested in fighting all of the wrestlers here from his generation.

BASARA “BASARA 188 ~GLITTER~”, 12/04/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Takumi Tsukamoto, Lil’ Kraken & Yasu Urano Vs FUMA, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato
2. Jacket Match: Fuminori Abe Vs Gouma
3. Ryota Nakatsu & Akiyori Takizawa Vs Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita
4. SAGAT VS Shigehiro Irie
5. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino

There are two medical absences from the show. Isami Kodaka is getting jawbone surgery and will be out of action until 28th April. Yusuke Kubo hasn’t recovered from his acute pancreatitis and is expected to stay in the hospital until them middle of them month. There is no timeline for his return yet.

DDT “MEGA MAX BUMP 2022 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 01/05/2022
Yokohama Budokan

1. Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ Pheromones Vs GM Imabayashi Final Battle: Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari Vs Hisaya Imabayashi, AKIRA & Muscle Sakai
2. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Asuka
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Yuki Ueno

Ever since Pheromones was formed, nobody was more of a victim from their antics than Hisaya Imabayashi. The DDT GM has been “publicly executed” by the unit over and over. Recently he began to fight back but the numbers game is just too much for him to handle. Luckily help is on the way for him to finally get his own back. AKIRA has come to the rescue, knowing Imabayashi from a storyline they did in MUSCLE many many years ago. That link will also draw Muscle Sakai away from retirement so the three of them can put Pheromones in their place once and for all.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR ’22” Results

April 2, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR ’22”, 02/04/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
166 Fans

1. Miu Watanabe defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Canadian Backbreaker (8:46).
2. Maki Itoh & Raku defeated Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami when Itoh submitted Toribami with the Itoh Punish (9:20).
3. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao defeated Yuki Kamifuku and Pom Harajuku when Misao pinned Harajuku with La Magistral Cradle (6:35).
4. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta defeated Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto when Kakuta pinned Miyamoto with the Shiden Kai (8:12).
5. Rika Tatsumi defeated Marika Kobashi with the Missile Hips (10:10).
6. Shoko Nakajima, Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Yuki Aino, Suzume & Arisu Endo when Mizuki pinned Suzume with the Cutie Special (17:49).

A contract signing ceremony for the two championship matches next week took place before the show. Yuki Aino is determined to stand out as a singles wrestler from now on and become a leader for Tokyo Joshi Pro. She admits she is not good in groups and is really just a nerd who wants to stay at home as much as possible. But if she can show that her love and feelings can result in a Princess Of Princess Title win, she thinks it will give hope to people out there.

In the main event Aino was wiped out with a dive from Shoko Nakajima so the champion is that little bit ahead of her right at the moment. The Magical Sugar Rabbits also got the better of Arisuzu in the match with Mizuki pinning Suzume for the finish. Yuka Sakazaki said Suzume & Arisu Endo are the kind of athletes TJPW needs to have coming up but she needs to be tough on them for that reason. Mizuki also explained she was able to find her personality by teaming with Sakazaki so she hopes the Arisuzu team will work hard even more to find their own.
