June 8, 2019

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 08/06/2019
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
285 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Miu Watanabe, Pom Harajuku & Mirai Maiumi defeated Miyu Yamashita, Himawari Unagi & Mahiro Kiryu when Watanabe pinned Unagi with the Tear Drop (9:57).
2. 3 Way Match: Nodoka Tenma defeated Yuki Kamifuku and Raku when Tenma pinned Raku with a Diving Body Press (7:19).

*The Magical Sugar Rabbits fail in V7. NEO Biishiki-gun becomes the 5th Tokyo Princess Tag Team Champions!

It took a Ripcord Knee Strike and the Vanitas from Misao to end The Magical Sugar Rabbits’ long title reign. Sakisama got on the microphone and stood over Yuka Sakazaki while Misao took away the Tokyo Princess Tag Team Titles. She asked Mizuki if she was ready to join NEO Biishiki-gun but Mizuki knocked her back. Sakisama was appalled but came to a realisation. It was never Mizuki who she saw beauty in, it was her own reflection when she looked into Mizuki’s eyes. NEO Biishiki-gun ended the show by welcoming Tokyo Joshi Pro into their new world!

We have our first two semi-finalists for the Tokyo Princess Cup. A scramble of cradles led to Natsumi Maki pinning Maki Itoh. Maki felt there is something connecting her to Itoh and she promises to do her best for both of them. Yuna Manase continues to prove her worth by beating Rika Tatsumi. She fought out of the Dragon Sleeper and struck Tatsumi with a Lariat. That set up the Kakato Drop finish.

It was announced that there will be a Tokyo Joshi dark match at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2019” on 15th July. The match is Tatsumi, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino Vs Maki, Manase & Himawari Unagi.

5. HARASHIMA & Shinya Aoki Vs MAO & Mike Bailey
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao (c) Vs Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura
7. Road To Wrestle Peter Pan! Special 3 Way Match: Tetsuya Endo Vs Konosuke Takeshita Vs Chris Brookes

After their last KO-D Tag Team Titles defence, Daisuke Sasaki said that he and Soma Takao would pick who their next challengers will be. They went quiet for a few days until Sasaki emerged with an Amidakuji/Ghost Leg puzzle that decided DAMNATION’s next three challengers. Unfortunately the process was heavily flawed because the three teams picked were all impossible to book for one reason or another. Hisaya Imabayashi disregarded Sasaki’s choices and nominated proper teams instead. On this show Sasaki’s choice of challengers was himself and Yoshiaki Yatsu. Imayashi pointed out that Sasaki is already the champion so Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura are getting the shot. Oddly enough Imabayashi didn’t sound negative on the idea of Sasaki having to wrestle himself.

Danshoku Dieno is trying to become immune to all martial arts in order to defeat the MMA master Shinya Aoki. His plan to do this is pit himself in a gauntlet of matches against pro wrestlers with martial art and combat sport backgrounds. Now I know what some of you are thinking. Why is he fighting a swimmer? Because Aoki proved last year that he is just as dangerous in the water than he is in the ring. The inclusion of Kabaddi is Dieno thinking outside of the box too.

DDT “ROAD TO PETER PAN 2019 ~DRAMATIC DREAM TANABATA~”, 07/07/2019
Osaka Hirano Community Hall

1. Yuki Ueno Marunage Match: X Vs X

Brookes, Mike Bailey and Maku Donaruto will be on the show.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2019”, 15/07/2019
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

0. Hotel Saint Inn Kurashiki Presents Under Match: X Vs X
0. Nihon Partner Kaikei Services Presents Under Match: X Vs X
1. Shunma Katsumata, Yuki Iino & Mizuki Watase Vs Yuki Ueno, Naomi Yoshimura & Nobuhiro Shimatani
2. Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi Vs MAO & Mike Bailey
3. DNA First Life Alumni Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Ryota Nakatsu Vs Kota Umeda & Kouki Iwasaki
4. Super Joshi Pro Wars 2019: Saki Akai Vs Yoshiko
5. Windmill Suplex 2nd Generation Vs Taiho 3rd Generation: Hideki Suzuki Vs Yukio Naya
6. Dramatic Dream Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Danshoku Dieno
7. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Time Difference Battle Royal: Toru Owashi (c) Vs Kurochan Vs Yoshiaki Yatsu Vs Shiro Koshinaka Vs Furitsuke Kamen Vs Joey Ryan Vs Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Super Sasadango Machine Vs Makoto Oishi Vs Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Mad Paulie Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Gorgeous Matsuno Vs Hiroshi Yamato Vs Pokotan
8. DDT Extreme Title: Akito (c) Vs Asuka
9. KO-D Tag Team Titles – Souken Holdings Presents: Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Tako (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano
10. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Konosuke Takeshita

Takagi ordered Imabayashi not to book him on the show unless he is in the main event. The only way that can happen is if he cashes in his Right To Challenge Gauntlet during or after that match.

Sasaki’s Amidakuji puzzle selected Joey Ryan & Candice LeRae as the KO-D Tag Title challengers for “WRESTLE PETER PAN”. That’s impossible because LeRae is signed to NXT and it is also too late to endorse her for a visa. Sasaki offered to sign her up for a tourist visa but shut down into depression when Imabayashi said she already registered her details with Johnny Gargano. HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano are the challengers instead, creating an unwanted Smile Squash reunion with Soma Takao.

If Ueno & Yoshimura win the KO-D Tag Titles on 30th June, then they will defend the belts against HARASHIMA & Urano. Sasaki & Takao will then be demoted down to teaming with Nobuhiro Shimatani in the opening match.

DDT “SUMMER VACATION 2019”, 21/07/2019
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Kota Umeda Great Match: Kota Umeda Vs X
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao (c) Vs Joey Ryan & Hiroshi Yamato
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Chris Brookes

The last Amidakuji team was supposed to be the newly married celebrity couple Ryota Yamasato & Yu Aoi. Instead we’re getting Joey Ryan & Hiroshi Yamato. It is possible that this title match will be cancelled if Sasaki & Takao lose the championship before the show. What is most likely to happen is the new tag champs will defend the belts in their place but DDT has not ruled out getting rid of the match altogether.

One last thing, DAMNATION have a four year plan in place for his personal goals. In 2019 they want to defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles, in 2020 they want to win gold at the Olympics, in 2021 Sasaki wants to visit the moon and in 2022 Sasaki wants to get married to a divorced Candice LeRae in May of that year.

5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuna Manase
6. Tokyo Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Sakisama & Misao

Here is what to look out for during this show. NEO Biishiki-gun are just as interested in acquiring Mizuki as they are for winning the Tokyo Princess Tag Team Titles. Also the previous time Yuka Sakazaki lost the belts it was to Sakisama and her stable.

In the Tokyo Princess Cup quarter finals we begin with the return of Natsumi Maki and Maki Itoh’s idol wrestling rivalry. Rika Tatsumi is climbing back up the ladder since returning from injury while Yuna Manase fights to prove she belongs in the high tier of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster.

DDT “ROAD TO PETER PAN 2019 ~DRAMATIC DREAM TOCHIOTOME~”, 08/06/2019

Since it is now confirmed that Tetsuya Endo and Konosuke Takeshita will headline “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2019” it’s time to build up their match.

DDT “ROAD TO PETER PAN 2019 ~DRAMATIC DREAM TAKAASHIGANI~”, 09/06/2019

6. The World’s Most Healthy Numazu Specialty! Special Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie Vs Konosuke Takeshita & Akito

DAMNATION has their hands full with ALL OUT one side and DISASTER BOX on another. Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao currently do not have a KO-D Tag Team Titles defence lined up for “WRESTLE PETER PAN”. The serious side of the DISASTER BOX unit are also currently absent from the card so the tag match i Shizuoka might set something up along the way.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Shoko Nakajima Vs Mizuki
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Yuka Sakazaki Vs Miu Watanabe

Both of The Magical Sugar Rabbits made it to Round 2 of the Princess Cup but are facing very different opponents. Sakazaki is facing Miu Watanabe who is flying high after her upset win over Nodoka Tenma. Mizuki made a statement by beating Miyu Yamashita but her opponent Shoko Nakajima is historically at her strongest when she competes in this tournament.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP” Results

June 1, 2019

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 01/06/2019
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
258 Fans – No Vacancy

1. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Pom Harajuku and Mahiro Kiryu when Tatsumi pinned Harajuku with a Sunset Flip (7:16).
2. Sakisama & Misao defeated Nodoka Tenma & Himawari Unagi when Misao pinned Unagi with the Vanitas (11:07).
3. Shoko Nakajima, Yuka Sakazaki & Miu Watanabe defeated Natsumi Maki, Hikari Noa & Mirai Maiumi when Nakajima submitted Maiumi with the Unmanned Local Train Hold (12:25).
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Maki Itoh defeated Raku with the Itoh Special (6:16).
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Yuna Manase defeated Yuki Aino with the Suzuki Dynamic (6:06).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Mina Shirakawa with the Magical Girl Splash (9:36).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Mizuki defeated Miyu Yamashita with the Cutie Special (11:10).

The Tokyo Princess Cup has always been Miyu Yamashita’s weak point and this year was no different. Sometimes it was shock upsets against weaker opponents and other times it’s been first round eliminations caused by wrestlers just as strong as her. Today was the latter. Mizuki outwrestled Yamashita by putting her in a Facelock. Yamashita rolled out of it but Mizuki caught her in a Casadora and followed with a Double Stomp. From there Mizuki hit the Cutie Special to get the win. Mizuki was in tears while she gave her victory speech and admitted she didn’t even think she would be talking on the microphone after the main event today. She respects Yamashita for all the times she watched her headline a Korakuen Hall show. Today’s win now gives Mizuki enough confidence to believe that she will win this year’s Princess Cup!

A disappointed Mina Shirakawa after her match said over and over that she wanted to fly today just like Yuka Sakazaki. Shirakawa attacked Sakazaki before the match began in a move she admits is inspired by Hayabusa’s ambush on Jushin Liger from the Super J Cup. Although she lost the match, Shirakawa wants to get strong enough so she can wrestle abroad like Sakazaki just did.

Yuna Manase is still feeling motivated after her “Pochari Joshi” match in Ganbare☆Wrestling back in April. She wants to win for the fans that cheered for her back then and also to prove she belongs in Tokyo Joshi Pro. With this she was able to stay in her match after taking Yuki Aino’s Side Suplex and won with the Suzuki Dynamic.

That Raku is a sneaky one, I tell you. When her match with Maki Itoh was about to begin, Raku was crying with nerves while she shook Itoh’s hand and telling herself to pull things together. Then when Itoh was returning to her corner, Raku jumped her with a flying kick! Itoh stopped her with a DDT and the Itoh Special to go through. Raku explained that the lyrics to Itoh’s music was what moved her to tears and the audience’s cheers grew her desire to win.

The Tokyo Princess Cup 2nd Round matches are Natsumi Maki Vs Maki Itoh, Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuna Manase, Shoko Nakajima Vs Mizuki and Miu Watanabe Vs Yuka Sakazaki.

NEO Biishiki-gun were put off by how excitable Himawari Unagi was by their moves in the ring. But never mind about her, it’s Mizuki that they’re interested in. Misao said that when she and Sakisama return to Shin-Kiba 1st RING next week they will win the Tokyo Princess Tag Team Titles.

Rika Tatsumi expected Pom Harajuku and Mahiro Kiryu to team up against her so she asked for the 3 Way Match to be turned into a Handicap Match. However Harajuku and Kiryu assured her that they wanted the ordinary 3 Way Match as planned. Harajuku hit the Laforet Harajuku to Kiryu but Tatsumi then cradled her to steal the pin.

Ganpro is holding a special small scale show for DDT UNIVERSE members at a bar called ARENA Shimo-kitazawa. The venue is home for a tiny indy outfit called Yoshimura Pro Wrestling. I looked them up and found a match between an MMA guy against a swing with Kuishinbo Kamen as the referee. So this is right up my alley.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

5. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Konosuke Takeshita

What will Akito come up with for his first DDT Extreme Title defence? His previous run four years ago was filled with stipulations that inspired more technical and intelligent forms of wrestling. Is Asuka ready to play this game of human chess if Akito goes that route again?

DDT is looking for various companies to sponsor the show. Their first announced sponsorship is with a tax accounting firm for the dark match. It was the firm’s idea to sponsor the dark match because it has never been done before. They hope the match will be just as exciting as the main event.

Yoshiaki Yatsu, Joey Ryan, Chris Brookes and Mike Bailey will be on the show.

DDT “SUMMER VACATION 2019”, 21/07/2019
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Kota Umeda Great Match: Kota Umeda Vs X
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Chris Brookes

It was announced today that Kota Umeda will be leaving DDT when his contract ends on 21st July. The reason is Umeda will be concentrating on working for his family’s business in his home of Kumamoto. The 24 year old will not be able to wrestle while carrying this responsibility. His family is important to him so he is choosing them over pro wrestling. Umeda originally asked to retire as a wrestler but Sanshiro Takagi convinced him to resign from DDT instead. Umeda is so young that he may find the opportunity to wrestle again somewhere down the line. For example DDT runs a show in Kumamoto once a year (this year’s show is coming up in August) so maybe that spot could always be available for him to wrestle in front of his home crowd. Umeda is grateful to Takagi for the advice he gave him and promises to do his best for the last two months of his contract.

Hideki Suzuki, Jiro “Ikemen” Kuroshio, Joey Ryan and Mike Bailey will be on the show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP OPENING ROUND” Results

May 25, 2019

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP OPENING ROUND”, 25/05/2019
Kitazawa Town Hall
294 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Raku, Mina Shirakawa & Mirai Maiumi defeated Yuna Manase, Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Shirakawa pinned Kiryu with the Implant DDT (9:10).
2. Sakisama & Misao defeated Mizuki & YUMI when Sakisama submitted YUMI with the Versailles Foot Choke (11:12).
3. Miyu Yamashita & Reika Saiki defeated Marika Kobashi & Yuki Aino by TKO when Yamashita used the Modified Cobra Clutch on Kobashi (12:52).
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Rika Tatsumi defeated Himawari Unagi with the Missile Hips (7:52).
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Miu Watanabe defeated Nodoka Tenma with the Tear Drop (7:56).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Natsumi Maki defeated Hikari Noa with a German Suplex (10:15).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima defeated Yuki Kamifuku with the Northern Lights Suplex (12:05).

Yuki Kamifuku pulled in Daisuke Kiso to prevent Shoko Nakajima from hitting the Northern Lights Suplex. In the middle of this fracas, Nakajima went for a Dropkick but Kiso took the hit instead of Kamifuku. The absence of a referee gave Kamifuku a chance to win but Nakajima was able to recover. Kamifuku had some fight left when she kicked out of the Northern Lights but one more use of the move eliminated her from the Tokyo Princess Cup. Nakajima admitted this turned into a dangerous match and it is becoming more difficult to win the tournament. She wants to win the Princess Cup while holding the TOKYO Princess Title because it hasn’t been done before.

There were hugs and smiles from Pandemic Boo-Boo after their match so Hikari Noa has no hard feelings over losing to Natsumi Maki. Maki hopes that this will become a meaningful match for Noa.

We only had to wait until the second match for the big upset of the tournament. Miu Watanabe overcame the odds to beat Nodoka Tenma! She escaped from the Killswitch and struck Tenma with the Laser Beam Punch. Watanabe then used a spinning version of the Flapjack called the Tear Drop to get the win. Watanabe wanted to go all out today to make up for missing last year’s Princess Cup.

Well so much for that fan vote. Himawari Unagi was the first woman eliminated from the tournament after a loss to Rika Tatsumi. Unagi feels regret over the result not just for her but also her generation of Tokyo Joshi Pro wrestlers. She thinks this class of five women are the most in-sync amongst the roster so she was representing them just as much as herself. For Tatsumi the win was just what she needed for a confidence boost.

Marika Kobashi was given a harsh looking farewell from Tokyo Joshi when Miyu Yamashita defeated her with the Modified Cobra Clutch. But that was the kind of treatment Kobashi wanted for her final match as a high school student. She thanked Yamashita and Reika Saiki for everything they’ve done for her even though her neck was left feeling sore. When her school exams are done she will prepare her body and mind for her return to Tokyo Joshi.

NEO Bishiiki-gun tried to make Mizuki see their way of life during their tag match. When Misao had YUMI held in a rest hold, Sakisama cut off Mizuki by putting her in a ballroom dance pose like she used to do with Azusa Christie. Mizuki said she hated it and later refused Misao’s request to “build a new world together.” Sakisama said backstage that Mizuki would look good in black and white. She promised to take away the TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles from Mizuki as well as her mind and her heart!

It was announced that the music video for “Upper Kick!” by the Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) is approaching 10,000 views on Youtube. The Up Up Girls are asking their fans to watch the video 30 times a day so it can surpass that number.
