*V4 for The Magical Sugar Rabbits.
8. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) defeated Nodoka Tenma with the Crash Rabbit Heat (11:57).
*V8 for Miyu Yamashita.
Nodoka Tenma was able to hit the Killswitch but this time Miyu Yamashita kicked out of the pin. Tenma then missed a Flying Body Press and Yamashita took control with a Reverse Attitude Adjustment. She was then able to get the three count with a Buzzsaw Kick and the Crash Rabbit Heat. Yamashita said the match was more fun than she expected. Her goal now for her current TOKYO Princess Title reign is to bring her number of title defences up to double digits. After today she now has eight defences and for her ninth she wants to take on Yuka Sakazaki! However Sakazaki turned down the offer because she is focusing on going overseas to bring more attention to Tokyo Joshi Pro. Yamashita asked her for a match before she goes because everyone will want to see it. Sakazaki changed her mind and agreed. The title match will be at Hakata Star Lane on 31st March. Yamashita said it will be the last joshi match to be held in the venue before it closes down for good.
In the earlier TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles match, Sakazaki used the Merry-Go-Round to get rid of Reika Saiki while Mizuki hit the Diving Foot Stomp onto Marika Kobashi. Sadly for Kobashi this ends her dream of regaining the Tag Titles she never lost with Saiki. She is stronger and more confident today than she was when she won the titles a year ago. She hopes to team with Saiki again and wants to continue training with her.
The big story coming out of the show involves Hyper Misao. First she lost to Rika Tatsumi in Tatsumi’s return match from injury. Before the match begun Misao talked on the microphone about being bound by fate to Tatsumi. Misao has never gotten a chance to win a championship so she asked Tatsumi if she would like to team up and go after the Princess Tag Titles. Tatsumi agreed and they had their match. Misao looked upset after she lost but she still gave Tatsumi a fist bump and all looked alright. Later, Sakisama started attacking Miu Watanabe after their match, complaining about nobody in Tokyo Joshi taking pro wrestling seriously while she was gone. Tatsumi ran in to stop her but Sakisama attacked her too. Misao then entered the ring but instead of stopping Sakisama, she instead hit Tatsumi with a chair! Sakisama was confused. This wasn’t her idea. Misao told her she does not want to laugh while she is crawling on the ground anymore. She wants to turn the world upside down. If what Misao is now is the result of the justice she believed in, it was all a mistake and she will destroy it to become stronger. She needs Sakisama to help her become stronger. Sakisama asked her to show how serious she wants to do this. Misao proved it by taking off her mask and cutting in half with a pair of scissors! They exited the ring together, leaving Tatsumi alone with the remains of Hyper Misao’s mask.
Both Maki Itoh and Natsumi Maki tried their hardest to appeal for cheers during their match. Tensions were getting so bad between the two that they both spat water in each other’s faces as the match went on. Maki escaped from the Itoh Special and went for the Backlash but Itoh blocked it and pressed down for the pinfall. Itoh has now given Maki her first pinfall loss in Tokyo Joshi! Itoh said Maki is more popular than her, is faster, has more skill and longer stamina. But that just motivated Itoh to win even more. Itoh admits she is jealous of Maki and she would like to live her life. Maki said she would never want to live Itoh’s life even if she is reborn. When Maki left the ring, Itoh shrugged off the insult. When Itoh is reborn again she will be reborn as Itoh!
The debuting Mahiro Kiryu lost and took the fall as expected. She said her life changed when she discovered pro wrestling. She hopes someday her wrestling can change another person’s life the same way.
Yuna Manase is now using the Dodon as her finishing move. Her version of the move is called the Suzuki Dynamic.
The result in the opening match means Pinano Pipipipi has won by pinfall for the first time in her career!

When Nodoka Tenma got the pin in the main event it was Miyu Yamashita who asked her to be the next challenger for the TOKYO Princess Title. Tenma didn’t expect this and with encouragement from Yuki Aino and Shoko Nakajima she accepted it. The title match will take place at the 23rd February Shinjuku FACE show.
Muscle JK are back in business and ready to reclaim the TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles! They won today’s No. 1 Contender match when Marika Kobashi locked Hikari Noa into a Front Necklock for the submission victory. The Magical Sugar Rabbits came out after the match and told Muscle JK that their title match will happen on 23rd February. Kobashi told them she is not crying today and she will not cry anymore.
In the match between Yuka Sakazaki and YUMI, Sakazaki was put off by YUMI’s height and tried to leave the match when she couldn’t reach her hand for a test of strength. Sakazaki was able to counter a Full Nelson into an Omoplata to make YUMI submit. YUMI said that in training Sakazaki is always kind but she is different when it comes to the actual wrestling match.
A new referee named Ishiguro is now working with Tokyo Joshi Pro. Several of the girls gave him a handshake before their matches to welcome him into the promotion.
Sakisama returns to Tokyo Joshi for a match on 23rd February.

Determination by itself can only get you so far. Maki Itoh went into Korakuen Hall determined to beat Miyu Yamashita no matter the skill gap. She was determined to become the TOKYO Princess Of Princess Champion against all odds. Sadly it just couldn’t happen. The Inverted Crab Hold and Flying Big Head couldn’t beat Yamashita. Then when momentum switched sides and Yamashita started hitting the big moves it was only a matter of time until Itoh fell and wouldn’t get back up. Itoh had one last chance with a Jumping DDT counter for the Crash Rabbit Heat but Yamashita recovered. The champion then overwhelmed Itoh with Kicks and the Crash Rabbit Heat to come out on top.
Yamashita brought up on the microphone Ito’s goal of becoming the champion and bringing in a new era for Tokyo Joshi Pro. The problem is the Yamashita era is not even close to ending yet! Yamashita is the champion because she is strong. There are others in Tokyo Joshi who are getting stronger and one day she will lose the title to someone like them. Yamashita wants Itoh to be one of them. She stuck her hand out for a fist bump but Itoh gave her the middle finger in return. When Itoh left the ring Yamashita admitted she didn’t expect to face such a difficult struggle today. But she cannot afford to lose the championship now. As far as she is concerned Tokyo Joshi is not just Number 1, it’s the only one! Backstage Itoh was crying over the loss but isn’t feeling sorry for herself. She is weak now but she will be a champion! Even if it means starting all over from the beginning, she will not give up. She also thought headlining Korakuen isn’t that big of a deal. She wants Yamashita to stay as the champion so she can beat her for the belt.
The Magical Sugar Rabbits were put up against the strongest possible combination put together to beat them and they persevered. The Twin Cam Monsters of Shoko Nakajima & Riho did what they could including the Northern Lights Suplex and Somato. In the end Mizuki softened up Nakajima with the Cutie Special, leaving Yuka Sakazaki to finish her friend off with the Magical Magical Girl Splash. The Sugar Rabbits’ new goal is to keep the TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles all the way up to the 2020 Olympic Games. They think they can qualify for the Olympic wrestling events that way.
From the start Meiko Satomura wanted to fight the power of Reika Saiki. She was able to escape from the Tower Bridge by applying a Sleeper Hold onto Saiki. A Shining Wizard to the back of the head put Satomura in danger. But Saiki was unable to hit the Jackhammer. Satomura regained control and hit the Death Valley Driver for the win. Saiki called this match the most painful one of her career. She has a strong body and a strong mind but today she discovered she doesn’t have a strong heart. It seems that her pro wrestling life starts again here. Satomura on the other hand is paying notice to her emerging competition. She wants to wrestle against women like Saiki as many times as possible.
The debuting Himawari Unagi didn’t wait to face the biggest challenge available to her. She wanted to face off with Saki Akai straight away when their tag match began. Meanwhile Yuki Kamifuku berated YUMI for wrestling instead of doing her homework. YUMI got rid of Kamifuku with a Full Nelson Buster while Akai submitted Unagi with the Foot Choke. Unagi has two goals she wants to achieve as a wrestler. One, she wants to beat every Tokyo Joshi wrestler in single matches and two, she wants to be in somebody’s best match on the roster.
With the controversy surrounding her entry into Toyko Joshi now behind her, Natsumi Maki had her first match in the promotion along with Millie McKenzie. Together they defeated The Bakuretsu Sisters. McKenzie threw Nodoka Tenma aside with the German Suplex so Maki could focus on Yuki Aino. Maki used the ropes to flip backwards over Aino from a Reverse DDT position and pinned her with her own German Suplex. Maki said that winning her first match of the year inside Korakuen Hall is a sign she is going to have a good 2019.
Hyper Misao brought back the Queen Of U.S.A. match for herself and Yuna Manase to fight over. This time Veda Scott was invited to join in the fun. The goal of the match is to wear a US flag hat and do the Shoot Dance as seen in the music video for “USA” by DA PUMP. Scott was able to do the dance after hitting the Spear to her opponents.
The opening match was a big occasion for a lot of the girls involved. It was Marika Kobashi’s first match back in almost eight months. It was also the first time the entire Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) got to team together since getting their new ring personas. The rest (Mina Shirakawa, Haruna Neko & Pom Harajuku) all got to wrestle in Korakuen for the first time.
Rika Tatsumi sang her entrance theme to the audience after intermission.
The Bakuretsu Sisters get to wrestle in their hometown of Okayama on 14th October. Tokyo Joshi Pro will have a show based around Tenma & Aino’s return there.

A Royal Rumble style match will determine who will challenge for the TOKYO Princess Title at Korakuen Hall on 4th January.

With two months to go until that show I suspect there may be an added stipulation once the challenger is chosen or at least one more title defence for Miyu Yamashita.
