The first Korakuen Hall show of the DDT UNIVERSE launch will determine the main event of “JUDGEMENT 2017” in Saitama Super Arena this March. Bad blood is growing between HARASHIMA and Daisuke Sasaki over the KO-D Openweight Title. Meanwhile Konosuke Takeshita and KUDO won their playoff matches to reach the final but only one will get the KO-D Title shot at DDT’s 20th Anniversary.

Yasu Urano spent the last week acting coy about wanting to challenge for the AJPW Jr. Title. He’s now getting what he wants and that’s a title match against Keisuke Ishii. Urano promises to wrestle clean but Ishii doesn’t believe him.

Yeah, DDT thinks getting Dino out there for the match promoting DDT UNIVERSE is the best idea. I mean at this point if you’re subscribing to it you have to know what to expect.

*V2 for Yuu.

joshi17-lastride

For the second year in a row Tokyo Joshi Pro was in Korakuen Hall for a big show held on 4th January. One year ago, Yuu had her debut pro wrestling match with the group. Today she was defending the TOKYO Princess Of Princess Championship in the main event. Her opponent Shoko Nakajima was part of last year’s main event too fighting to be the first champion. Unfortunately for her she was defeated again. Yuu unexpectedly used a Last Ride Power Bomb, in tribute to the late Koichiro Kimura apparently, putting Nakajima away. Yuu is looking forward to defending the title many more times and she didn’t have to wait long for a new challenger to appear. Reika Saiki approached her in the ring to congratulate Yuu. Saiki called herself muscular, healthy and motivated so how about a title shot? Yuu accepted the challenge. She’s defending the belt but she’s going to treat the championship like it is hers to win!

joshi17-akai-martha

Fresh back from Paris, Saki Akai returned to Tokyo Joshi and this time she was accompanied by her faithful maid Martha. Miyu Yamashita did the polite thing and greeted Martha but it was clear she didn’t trust her. She was proven right to do so when Martha distracted the referee while Akai was in a Camel Clutch. Yamashita broke it to go after Martha but when she turned back Akai was there to do a Big Boot. Yamashita ducked and Martha took the boot to the face instead. Yamashita hit the Attitude Adjustment but only got a two count. Akai dodged the Crash Rabbit Heat and got the pin with the Two Step Face Kick. Akai played it off like the result was no big deal. She offered to help lift Yamashita back up to her feet but then she kicked her again. She told Tetsuya Koda to contact her later about appearing in a match on 21st January. She would like to team up with Martha for that match so Koda better go looking for their opponents.

joshi17-clown-candice

Mil Clown defeated the returning Candice LeRae, avenging her twin sister’s loss to the Canadian one year ago. At one point LeRae fought dirty by pushing Daisuke Kiso into the ropes to knock Clown off of the top turnbuckle. However Clown recovered and caught LeRae in the Mil Clutch α for the flash pin.

joshi17-towerbridge

Cheer♡1 and LinQ performed together after Match #2 but two of their members wrestled each other later in the show. Maki Itoh kicked Reika Saiki as often as she could but a Headbutt from Saiki slowed her down. Itoh kept trying to fight back until she was locked into the Tower Bridge and had to submit. Itoh was happy to wrestle in Korakuen Hall despite only having her debut match three weeks ago. She hopes pro wrestling will bring in more fans over to her idol career with LinQ. The group is going to reshuffle its members in June and she doesn’t want to get fired!

joshi17-wives

Love was in the air for Match #3. Joey Ryan & Laura James kissed each other and wished everyone a happy new year during their entrance. Then Inoue Mic & Ai Shimizu did the same. Ryan was there to be the referee and ring announcer Mic introduced Shimizu as his “beloved and unbelievably cute wife”. Their opponents Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko came armed with the premium New Year issue of Zexy Magazine. Ryan was biased towards his wife’s team but Nonoko did her best to seduce him during the match. When Takigawa was ready to use her magazine as a weapon both husbands ran to protect their wives. During the confusion Takigawa accidentally knocked out Nonoko with the magazine, Ryan put his lollipop into Takigawa’s mouth and Shimizu pinned her with the Fishergirl Suplex.

joshi17-momochi

Match #2 was changed from a Tag Team bout to a 3 Way Match when Akane Miura caught the flu and was taken off the show. The match also served as ring announcer Minami Momochi’s graduation from Tokyo Joshi. She received streamers from the crowd during the announcements. She also got involved in the match, helping Hyper Misao fight the demonic Maho Kurone. Momochi gave Kurone a Neckbreaker Drop and Misao then hit the I Am A Hero. However Rika Tatsumi took over the match and won when she put Kurone in the Dragon Sleeper.

joshi17-nodoka-cherry

Before Nodoka-oneesan took on her mentor Cherry in the opener, she invited Momochi to participate in Ping Pong Exercises with her one more time. When that was done Cherry came down but she did not want to go through the pre-match formalities. After the match though she embraced Nodoka and supported her for putting up a good fight.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

DDT then runs their final show of the year. Has Shigehiro Irie’s training in America paid off? He’s been nigh unbeatable ever since he came back. HARASHIMA hasn’t been able to figure him out in their matches together in the build up to this bout.

Meanwhile DAMNATION are in a funk after losing all of their championships. Not only that but Daisuke Sasaki has been pinned by Masahiro Takanashi twice in their last two matches together. Maybe the inclusion of the Big Dog Shuji Ishikawa will be the answer to their problems. Also Mad Paulie has begun acting more violent. Are they starting to lose control of the “cute one” of the group?

nakajima-no1contender

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BATTLE MISSION 2016 CODE.6”, 20/11/2016
Tokyo BASEMENT MONSTAR
142 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Konsho-gun 2nd Single Match: Nonoko defeated Maho Kurone with the Boinmaker (7:06).
2. Mil Clown & Hyper Misao defeated Yuu & Nodoka-oneesan when Clown pinned Nodoka with the Mil Clutch α (10:38).
3. Konsho-gun 2nd Single Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Azusa Takigawa with the Dragon Sleeper (8:14).
4. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title Next Challenger Survival 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Miyu Yamashita and Akane Miura (12:06).
4a. Shoko Nakajima eliminated Akane Miura with the Coax (7:48).
4b. Shoko Nakajima eliminated Miyu Yamashita with the Northern Lights Suplex (12:06).

Shoko Nakajima pinned both Akane Miura and Miyu Yamashita, absolutely earning her No. 1 Contendership for the TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title. Miura’s power was on display when she gave both her opponents a double Brainbuster but Nakajima recovered and cradled her for the three count. Yamashita kicked out of Nakajima’s Northern Light Suplex the first time but couldn’t hit the Attitude Adjustment. Nakajima then gave Yamashita a Double Arm DDT and a second Northern Lights to win the match. Nakajima said she’s been waiting for this opportunity for a year and this time she will not let go until she wins the championship. Yuu is encouraged by Nakajima’s determination. The champion wants a strong rival and it looks like she is going to get one!

Azusa Takigawa is really going in on the marriage thing. She entered her match wearing a wedding veil to a song called “Love Will Win”. Nonoko interfered with a copy of Zexy magazine to use as a weapon on Rika Tatsumi but it backfired. Nonoko accidentally hit Takigawa instead and that gave Tatsumi an opening to lock in the Dragon Sleeper. Takigawa’s plan for her next match is to buy the next issue of Zexy. Maybe she will stack the magazines together to make them thicker.

After losing again today, Nodoka-oneesan is feeling discouraged. She comes from the same class as Yuu but their levels of success could not be more opposite. She needs advice that can take her out of her slump so she challenged Cherry to a match at Korakuen Hall on 4th January. Cherry once told Nodoka that if she had any trouble or needed consulting about anything she would be there for her.

Mil Clown will take on Candice LeRae on 4th January. Mil’s sister Yuka Sakazaki fought and lost to LeRae at the last 4/1 show. Because of this, Clown sees LeRae as a family enemy.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BATTLE MISSION 2016 CODE.5”, 12/11/2016

132 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Miyu Yamashita defeated Nodoka-oneesan with a Cobra Clutch (8:41).
2. Konsho-gun Full Scale Start Up! Love Kick Off!: Reika Saiki & Hyper Misao defeated Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko when Saiki pinned Takigawa with a Brainbuster (8:33).
3. Mil Clown defeated Maho Kurone with the Mil Clutch α (8:04).
4. Yuu & Shoko Nakajima defeated Akane Miura & Rika Tatsumi when Nakajima pinned Tatsumi with an Inside Cradle (13:17).

Simply getting the winning pinfall in the main event isn’t enough for Shoko Nakajima. She’s noticed that something has been missing from her career and that is a rival. A rival would give her the extra push needed to become the best so she challenged Yuu to a TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title match. However Akane Miura stepped in and said she knows she can beat Yuu and she wants to prove it at Korakuen Hall! Then Miyu Yamashita entered the conversation claiming to want the belt the most out of anyone. It was decided that a 3 Way Match between Nakajima, Miura and Yamashita will take place on 20th November to determine who faces Yuu for the title at Korakuen on 4th January.

Azusa Takigawa is hard at work looking for a fiance. She wants to get on Samurai! TV and Shukan Puroresu magazine to spread the message. Nonoko’s plan to help is to film a promotional DVD of Takigawa relaxing in a hot spring and then sell it on Amazon.

Maki Itoh Vs Reika Saiki is booked for the 4th Janaury show. Also announced to appear are Candice LeRae and Laura James.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “IN A CORNER OF A CITY CALLED YOKOHAMA”, 29/10/2016
Yokohama Radiant Hall
202 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Nonoko defeated Azusa Takigawa with the Boinmaker (7:30).
2. Muscle Idol Vs Back Bancho First Confrontation!: Reika Saiki & Nodoka-oneesan defeated Akane Miura & Maho Kurone when Saiki submitted Kurone with the Tower Bridge (9:07).
3. 3 Way Match: Mil Clown defeated Shoko Nakajima and Hyper Misao when Clown pinned Misao with the Mil Clutch α (5:35).

5. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Yuu (c) defeated Rika Tatsumi with the Katahajime (15:15).
*V1 for Yuu.

Yuu’s first defence of the TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title was successful but proved to be more of a challenge than she thought. Rika Tatsumi had only begun to win matches consistently in the last couple of months, leading to her getting a crack at the title. However she came prepared with her own focus on submissions to combat Yuu’s judo ability. While Tatsumi threw some Hip Attacks to knock back Yuu, she also targeted her leg with Dropkicks and Dragon Screws so she could apply an effective Figure Four Leg Lock. Yuu resisted this and applied the Katahajime for the submission victory. Yuu said she was really happy with the match because it brings her one step closer to defending the title on 4th January, the one year anniversary of her debut match.

Miyu Yamashita defeated Marika Kobashi in Kobashi’s final match for the time being. Kobashi will now prepare for her high school entry exams. Yamashita said she originally thought Kobashi was too young when she first began training due to how tough it is. However she was proven wrong and she is happy to be part of Kobashi’s send off. She then advised Kobashi to concentrate on her exams because they are terribly hard. Kobashi hopes to return if she passes the exams.

There’s been a theme running through all of the DDT family throughout 2016 and it is marriage. A lot of wrestlers and staff members have been getting married or at least engaged this year. Azusa Takigawa has noticed this and also noticed the wrestlers who have gotten married have also become stronger as a result. She interrupted the opening speeches so she could plead with the Genral Manager Tetsuya Koda to drop the “No relationships” rule from Tokyo Joshi Pro. Takigawa wants to go out matchmaking so she can find a husband, get married and become stronger! Koda told her now wasn’t the time to talk about this. Later when Takigawa had her match with Nonoko, Takigawa was put in a Scorpion Deathlock. Instead of reaching for the ropes Takigawa instead reached for a microphone so she could again plead to Koda to drop the “no relationships” rule while she was in the Scorpion Deathlock! After the match Nonoko was impressed by Takigawa’s passion. Not for wrestling but for finding a husband. Nonoko said she was a teenager until just recently (yeah right!) and she never imagined wanting to go matchmaking at Takigawa’s age. She wants to help Takigawa and offered to team with her in the ring. Takigawa accepted, together they will find the truth of love!

Maki Itoh from the idol group LinQ announced she will be wrestling for DDT on 11th December and after that will debut for Tokyo Joshi on 4th January. She is thrilled by her plans to do both idol work and wrestling. She also said she has great respect for Danshoku Dino. It was then revealed that Itoh’s opponent on 4th January will by Miyu Yamashita. According to Yamashita she has been keeping a close eye on Itoh’s training ever since it began back in July. She noticed Itoh has been working very hard so she is happy to be her first opponent in Tokyo Joshi. She asked Itoh to come at her at full force when they wrestle.

The literal doll faced ring announcer and “World’s First Animated Idol Chick” Minami Momochi recently revealed she will be graduating from Tokyo Joshi Pro on 4th January next year. She said over the last three and a half years she watched Tokyo Joshi and their wrestlers grow. She feels now is the time for herself to move on if she too wants to advance.

In fact, the new champion Yuu had her debut match on the same show where Yamashita was crowned the first champion. Yamashita threw everything that she could from the Attitude Adjustment to a Cross Arm German Suplex to the Crash Rabbit Heat. But Yuu caught Yamashita in the Katahajime and squeezed the life out of her, winning the match by TKO. When Yamashita regained consciousness she hadn’t the energy to shake Yuu’s hand so she instead bumped Yuu’s shoulder with her fist in congratulations before being helped out of the ring. When Yuu received the title belt she said she was the absolute champion and now she wants to shine more. Rika Tatsumi entered the ring and congratulated Yuu. But she also threw out a challenge. Tatsumi said she has recently become stronger and a championship to go along with her new success would be cool. Yuu accepted the challenge but warned Tatsumi that Yamashita thought she was invincible. Now look what happened to her.

It is now time for KANNA to say farewell to Tokyo Joshi Pro. She was one of the first trainees for the promotion but decided to call time on her wrestling career to become a rapper. For her final match she was reunited with Saki Akai and Ai Shimizu to reform the posh Biishiki-gun group for one night only. Akai was misinformed and thought KANNA was going off to do musicals in Broadway. She prefers the orchestra to rap. Biishiki-gun won their match when Akai gave Shoko Nakajima a PK from the apron, Shimizu gave Akane Miura a Tornado DDT and KANNA got the pin on Maho Kurone with the Spear Of Versailles. Akai told KANNA after the match she was a rose in full bloom. The rest of the roster gave her bouquets and said their goodbyes. Yamashita said she didn’t want to cry before her match but after spending four years training and wrestling with KANNA she was sad to see her leave. KANNA thanked everyone for supporting her and wished herself luck on travelling down a new road.

While Tatsumi is gaining confidence with her win today, her opponent Yuka Sakazaki was distraught over losing. Sakazaki couldn’t muster up the enthusiasm to speak in the ring, called herself weak and left feeling upset. All she said in a backstage interview is after all her training leading up to today she just feels like a useless child.

Tokyo Joshi Pro will hold their second show in Korakuen Hall on 4th January, 2017! Yuu’s goal is to stay as the champion and sell out the show for her one year anniversary.

yuu-wins-princesscup

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2016 ~TOKYO JOSHI PRO DAY~”, 13/08/2016
Shinjuku FACE
528 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Maho Kuron Debut Match: Maho Kuron defeated Nodoka-oneesan with a Reverse Swing Neckbreaker Drop (6:01).
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Shoko Nakajima defeated Hyper Misao with the Northern Lights Suplex (7:46).
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Yuu defeated Akane Miura by TKO with a Katahajime (7:31).

6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: Yuu defeated Shoko Nakajima with the Cross Armbreaker (17:12).

The winner of this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup is Yuu! No, not you. Yuu! She’s only been wrestling in Tokyo Joshi Pro for 8 months but in that time Yuu has been undefeated and nobody has been able to match her skill. Akane Miura offered a challenge in the semi-final with her power based offence but Yuu choked her out with the Katahajime to win. In the other semi-final Hyper Misao took on last year’s winner Shoko Nakajima. Misao wanted the match to have a One Count Pinfall rule so she could save her energy for the final. The rule was rejected and Misao was told to continue the match when she pinned Nakajima for one second. Misao’s recent streak of upset wins ended here and Nakajima went on to the final. Yuu kicked out of the Northern Lights Suplex and wore down Nakajima until she tapped from a Cross Armbreaker. Yuu said becoming a pro wrestler is a dream come true but now she has a new dream. She asked Miyu Yamashita for a TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title shot. Yamashita accepted the challenge and set the match for 22nd September.

Yamashita has another target in her sights. She’s interested in fighting Reika Saiki one on one. Saiki herself thinks she has found a rival in Yamashita.

Summer time was the theme of Match #4. Each girl took part in the match while wearing yukatas. They also each brought out a weapon that is related to summer vacations. Rika Tatsumi had a beach volleyball, Yuka Sakazaki had a water ring, Nonoko had a watermelon and KANNA carried a water pistol. After the match KANNA announced she will graduate from Tokyo Joshi on 22nd September. She will have one more match with Miyu Yamashita on 31st August. She also invited Saki Akai and Ai Shimizu to attend her graduation ceremony.

Maho Kurone is the newest wrestler to debut for Tokyo Joshi. She wears a black costume to go along with her name. She has no sports history but wanted to join Tokyo Joshi when she saw their show at last year’s Beer Garden series. Nodoka-oneesan tried to beat her with the Back Flip but Kuron escaped and hit a Swinging Reverse Neckbreaker to win her debut match. Kuron didn’t feel quite happy afterwards but thinks people will enjoy her personality. She said she wants to fight Akane Miura sometime.
