The busiest week in wrestling is taking place in Las Vegas and Tokyo Joshi Pro was there to put on their biggest show in America ever. As one of the many shows taking place in The Collective series, TJPW put their best foot forward by presenting as genuine a TJPW experience as they could along with four championship matches filling up the second half of the card. The main event was also the biggest match they could currently put together when it comes to who the best two wrestlers in the company are.

Mizuki went up against the monster Miyu Yamashita to purposely give herself the toughest challenge to make herself even stronger as the reigning Princess Of Princess Champion. Yamashita put her through a hellish time with kicks before dragging the champion over to the Pearl Theater stage. Mizuki fought back by dodging a Penalty Kick and then sprinting across the stage to jump onto her opponent with a Double Stomp. However Yamashita recovered and gave her the Attitude Adjustment on the stage. Back in the ring Yamashita got the better of the exchange by hitting the Skull Kick but was too hurt herself to make the pin. When she recovered she turned to run the ropes, presumably for the Crash Rabbit Heat but Mizuki grabbed onto her leg and gave her the Cutie Special. She followed up with the Run-Up Double Stomp, the Whirling Candy and then a bridging Cutie Special to finally beat Yamashita in a singles match for the first time!

After the match Mizuki got the microphone and asked the fans in English if they were happy? She then cheekily asked Yamashita if she was happy too? Yamashita obviously wasn’t. Mizuki then invited all of the present TJPW roster out for a group photo in the ring to close out the show. Backstage Yamashita admitted she was happy to wrestle Mizuki in Vegas with the Princess Title on the line but she lost and will never forgive Mizuki for that. She will now be touring across America for the next 3 months and promises to return at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” in July even stronger. Mizuki said Yamashita is a monster and she doesn’t like her but she is happy because the fans today were all so kind.

You can now add the TNA World Knockouts Title to the growing list of championships that have been defended on TJPW shows. The champion Masha Slamovich was already scheduled to face Miu Watanabe on the show and the title stipulation was only added a few days before. Watanabe focused on her strength and threw Slamovich with moves over and over. She even used the Inverted Tear Drop from the Canadian Backbreaker position. But Slamovich wouldn’t give up and landed a Headbutt followed by a Spin Kick to stun Watanabe. The White Knight Driver was then used to get Slamovich the win. Backstage Slamovich said she once promised to defend the Knockouts Title on a TJPW show and she did it today against one of the baddest women in the locker room. Her goal when she comes to TJPW is to beat their wrestlers one by one. She will fight them any time whether it’s for a championship or not. Watanabe is disappointed she couldn’t grab the big opportunity that was given to her. She also thinks Slamovich is crazy because she is wrestling something like 7,8 or 9 matches this week!

Maybe the two wrestlers who were most looking forward to visiting Las Vegas were Kyoraku Kyomei. With the casino right next to the theater, Shoko Nakajima wants to win big. She got off to a good start with a successful Princess Tag Teams Titles defence against Ober Eats. We got the “Hello Big Children” welcome from Hyper Misao and she quickly sprayed Yuki Kamifuku in the face. Wakana Uehara used Cartwheel Elbows into the corner and also the Banana Pillow to try and win. She got extra help from Kamifuku using the Famouser but in the end Misao landed the Hypami Returns on Uehara and Nakajima scored the pin with the Diving Senton. Now it’s on to the casinos to win big money! At least Kamifuku made a new friend in Uehara from teaming up together so much recently. Uehara said she wants Ober Eats to be the most glamorous tag team in TJPW.

In a rematch from last month Suzume put the International Title on the line again against Jada Stone. Suzume started off quick by hitting a Plancha out of the ring. She also had a roll up counter for the Spark Stunner. Stone had a big counter of her own, catching the Ring A Bell and turning it into a Gory Special. Stone also went high risk with the Sky Twister Press but only got a two count out of it. The two fought up to the top rope where Suzume grabbed Stone and gave her a Flying Facecrusher. That signalled the end and Suzume got the Ring A Bell right this time to beat Stone for the second time in a row. She said Stone had evolved a lot since the first match and has become her best rival. She would like to fight her again and again. Stone said this return to TJPW is her dream continuing and she would love to have another rematch because Suzume brings her abilities to the limit.

Due to visa problems Pom Harajuku could not travel for the show so Raku took her spot as Max The Impaler’s tag partner. Zara Zakher was confused to see Raku place a pillow in the ring and take a nap but it was only to lure Zakher into a Cradle. Raku also tried Poppo Chopping Maki Itoh but kept hurting her hand from hitting Itoh’s hard head. Max wasn’t happy with the pillow nonsense and Gorilla Pressed Raku onto their opponents. Whatever teamwork they had figured out fell apart when Raku missed a Poppo Chop and hit Max by accident. Max was then bumped forward, squashing Raku in the corner. Zakher took out Max with a dive out of the ring leaving Itoh to submit Raku with the Itoh Deluxe. Max had to drag a defeated Raku along the floor away from ringside.

With Raku moved up to Match #3, her spot in Match #2 was given to Ram Kaichow. What should have been a wonderful Las Vegas honeymoon for the wedded couple instead turned into confusion because Kaichow couldn’t find Raku anywhere in the ring. It didn’t take long for Rika Tatsumi to choke Kaichow while Shino Suzuki wanted to give her a tour of Vegas, calling one of the turnbuckle posts the High Roller casino. Vert Vixen then went on the attack until Kaichow faked fainting to make her opponent drop her guard. Viva Van fought off Tatsumi giving Suzuki the chance to try and beat Yuki Aino. That didn’t happen. Aino broke out of her Sleeper Hold and after the match broke down into a free for all, Aino pinned Suzuki with the Venus DDT.

Yuki Arai can celebrate her American debut because she got her hand raised against Arisu Endo. She got off to a good start using kicks and Big Boots, leading up to the Sharpshooter. Endo reached the ropes and turned the tables by putting Arai in the Camel Clutch to make her fight for a rope break in the same way. Endo tried to set up the Ju no Okite but Arai escaped and hit the Full Nelson Buster. Her first attempt at the Finally was blocked but after hitting the Rookie Award, she hit her finisher on the next attempt to win. Arai said she was very happy that Endo was her first opponent in America and she wants to see more of the country. She isn’t satisfied by where she is at now so will aim to grow by working hard even more. Endo was also happy to be Arai’s first opponent now that Arai is fully dedicated to pro wrestling. Next time Endo says she won’t lose!

The show began with a performance from the three members of The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) who were booked on the show. Raku also revealed that Amtrak was her Train Of The Day. Congratulations to Amtrak.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE UNIVERSE MEMBERS ONLY SHOW – PURE TOKYO JOSHI PRO WRESTLING 9” Results

6. Costume Change Match: Mizuki, Suzume, Pom Harajuku & Yoshiko Hasegawa defeated Wakana Uehara, HIMAWARI, Hyper Haru & Toga when Mizuki pinned Haru with the Cutie Special (12:10).

After skipping 2024, the annual Tokyo Joshi Pro show that is only open to Wrestle Universe members was brought back this year. It is the show where once a year things in TJPW are not as they should be. The main event was an 8-Woman Tag where everyone was given a different wrestler’s costume and they were encouraged to behave like the person they dress up as. One team consisted of Wakana Uehara as Miyu Yamashita, HIMAWARI as Shoko Nakajima, Haru Kazashiro as Hyper Misao (temporarily renaming herself Hyper Haru) and Toga as Haruna Neko. The other team were all dressed up as The Up Up Girls! That meant Mizuki was Shino Suzuki, Suzume was Raku, Pom Harajuku was Uta Takami and Yoshiko Hasegawa was Miu Watanabe. The Fake Up Up Girls even dance to “I Don’t Want To Lose” to get themselves motivated and it helped them get the win.

It turns out you can apply the game of Werewolf to pro wrestling. It was a 5 Way Match where the five competitors were unknowingly split into two sides. Three of them were Citizens and two were Werewolves. Two Count Pinfalls were in effect and the first side to eliminate two players from the other team would win. Every three minutes the match would pause so everyone could deduce who the Werewolves were before going back to fighting. There was also a bonus Fortune Teller role given to one of the Citizens where they were allowed to nominate one person and be told if they were a Werewolf or not. Suzuki was the Fortune Teller and she made Maki Itoh reveal she was a Werewolf. Itoh then eliminated Suzuki but was beaten by Rika Tatsumi shortly after that. With one Werewolf left, Tatsumi was heavily suspected to be one because according to Nakajima, Tatsumi normally behaves like a Werewolf. However Kaya Toribami then rolled up Nakajima from behind to pin her, revealing she was the other Werewolf all along and the Werewolf team had now won the match!

Four of the most athletic wrestlers in TJPW were put into a tag match that tested their brain power as much as their physical abilities. After every 1 Count Pinfall, the winner would be asked an elementary school question. Whichever team gets three questions right first would win. Nobody understood the rules at first but eventually figured them out. They also got a bunch of questions wrong. Gradually the two teams had 2 points each and scrambled to get 1 Count pins. Takami got one on Yamashita and scored the final point to get the win for herself and Watanabe. It was not Yamashita and Arisu Endo’s brightest moment that’s for sure.

I don’t know what Hyper Misao did but she convinced Mahiro Kiryu & Moka Miyamoto to take up the capes and masks to become superheroes just like her. However two of their opponents Yuki Aino & Haruna Neko pulled out of the match on short notice due to stomach pains and were replaced by the luchadoras Yuki Caras & Mil Nekocaras. They teamed up with Raku who seemingly disappeared during the match only to be replaced by a dancing skeleton. No it wasn’t La Parka, it was La Karuka! The lucha trio took over until Nekocaras failed to do the 619 and injured her legs from bouncing off the ropes. Misao pinned her with La Magistral Cradle to give the superheroes the win.

More international flair was brought to TJPW in the match before that. Ivy Steele fought Kira Summer in a match pitting Great Britain against Australia. Summer entered the ring dressed in a bush costume while carrying a stuffed koala toy. She offered Steele some Vegemite before the match but Steele refused because she didn’t want to eat it. Summer forced her to taste it while the wrestled causing Steele to kick away the koala toy in anger. Summer got some payback by beating her with the Samoan Drop.

Compared to everything else on the show, Yuki Kamifuku versus Chika Nanase was quite normal. Kamifuku teased Nanase by calling her so uninteresting it’s almost pitiful. Nanase was fired up to fight her but Kamifuku was the one standing tall in the end.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHINKANSEN JOSHI PRO WRESTLING” Results

February 15, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHINKANSEN JOSHI PRO WRESTLING PRODUCED BY SANSHIRO TAKAGI”, 15/02/2025
Nozomi 343 Departing From Tokyo Station
75 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Falls Count Anywhere 8-Woman Tag Match: Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh, Yuki Arai & Max The Impaler defeated Mizuki, Aja Kong, Miu Watanabe & Raku when Yamashita pinned Raku with the Crash Rabbit Heat Nozomi Special (43:58).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Raku defeated Tetsu Inada (c) by Knockout with the Lullaby (1:20 pm).
*Raku becomes the 1,731st champion.

When DDT held a match inside a travelling bullet train in 2023 it made headlines around the world. So this time Tokyo Joshi Pro wanted in on the action and got Sanshiro Takagi to put the match on a second time.

The train departed from Tokyo Station where Sayuri Namba was on board to start the introductions. When the train arrived at Shinagawa Station, Takagi stepped on board accompanied by Shino Suzuki and Uta Takami. The two of them joined up with Miu Watanabe and Raku so The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) could sing “Upper Kick!” up and down the aisle. However they had technical difficulties midway through. The rest of the wrestlers made their entrances when the train reached Shin-Yokohama Station. Mizuki arrived armed with a Pico Pico Hammer while Aja Kong carried a steel can onboard threatening to rip the bullet train apart!

The match started off with Watanabe and Miyu Yamashita. There was enough room in the aisle for Yamashita to Snapmare Watanabe and follow up with a Soccer Ball Kick. Yuki Arai fought with Mizuki but was chased down the train by Kong. Raku borrowed a cup of ice cream (which has a reputation on the Shinkansen of being served frozen solid) from one of the passengers and hit Arai over the head with it.

As the train was approaching Mt. Fuji, Kong wanted to get a good photo from the window. While she was looking for a good spot, Raku was trying to sing Arai to sleep in the middle of the aisle with towels and a pillow provided. Kong finally saw Mt. Fuji in the distance and stepped on top of Arai so she could lean over and get the best view.

Raku’s lullaby also sent Yamashita & Maki Itoh to sleep so Kong & Raku did the Oyasumi Express on them. Max The Impaler then took centre stage and had a violent pillow fight with Raku. Itoh took over by hitting the 300km/h Kokeshi on Raku and following up with the Cutest Knuckle Punch In The World.

The 121000000 pair started using double team moves until Mizuki attacked them with the Pico Pico Hammer. After that a a chain of multiple Headscissors was formed stretching down the aisle. Itoh then used a Boston Crab to flip the chain over.

A face off between Kong and Itoh then took place. Kong hit her over the head with the steel can but Itoh’s iron head took the blow no problem. Kong then Heabutted her but again she withstood the impact. As Itoh jumped onto Kong’s back to put her in a Sleeper Hold, the doorway opened for the arrival of the ticket inspector. Oh, the inspector is Minoru Suzuki!

When Suzuki saw the fighting going on he threw away the tickets and walked right over to confront the wrestlers. Not because they were causing trouble but because he wanted to show Itoh what a real Sleeper Hold on Kong looks like! He scared everyone off and got into fighting with Kong. Itoh found Mecha Mummy’s Mecha Fist on board and fired a Rocket Punch at Kong. She dodged it and Suzuki got hit instead. Suzuki then attacked Itoh and Kong joined in, causing Takagi to step in and break up the chaos.

Takagi successfully took Suzuki away so the match could continue. Watanabe lifted Itoh up into the Canadian Backbreaker and spun around in circles. Itoh was able to fight back by giving Watanabe the Stunner.

The match broke down into a free for all. Mizuki fought with Arai while Kong and Max were charging down both ends of the aisle to smash into each other in the middle. Their brawl made its way into another train car.

Yamashita targeted Raku with a High Kick. Others stopped her from giving Raku the Attitude Adjustment but she fought all of them off. Raku was left as a sitting duck as Yamashita ran down the aisle and hit her with the Crash Rabbit Heat at the combined travelling speed of 600km/h! Her math is the train was travelling at 285km/h which means the speed she hits the Crash Rabbit Heat reached 315km/h. That put an end to the match with Yamashita, Itoh, Arai & Max as the winners.

The match was finished but the train journey hadn’t completed yet to Yamashita, Itoh & Arai stuck around to talk about their victory. Arai asked if she could go home early because the train hadn’t even reached Nagoya yet. She had fun but it was tough and doing one more match like this would be enough for her. Itoh wanted to know why did Minoru Suzuki get on the train half-naked wearing a tiny hat? She has never seen a perverted train conductor like him before. She also wants TJPW to do more crazy matches in weird locations. She suggested they can go do one in Yamashita’s house. Yamashita refused and said it would be rude to do that without her permission. Itoh then suggested they do the match at Yamashita’s parents’ house. Again Yamashita refused because apparently one time she and Yuka Sakazaki actually had a wrestling match inside somebody’s house and they ended up destroying the place…

The train journey did not end there though. There was a bonus event for VIP passengers involved Arai, Raku & Max. While it was taking place, Tetsu Inada suddenly entered the train asking if he could take part too because he is the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. He was told no by Daisuke Kiso but refused to leave so Raku approached him from behind and started to sing a lullaby. Inada fell asleep right where he stood. Kiso then raised and dropped his arm three times signaling that he was knocked out, meaning Raku is now the new Iron Man Champion!

9. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki defeated Miu Watanabe (c) with the Cutie Special (18:40).
*Miu Watanabe fails in V6. Mizuki becomes the 15th Princess Of Princess Champion!

Looks like Mizuki was right. She is the princess and Miu Watanabe is the monster she defeated today to become the new Princess Of Princess Champion! Watanabe relied on her great strength to swing Mizuki around but Mizuki hit the Cutie Special into the corner to turn things around. Watanabe was able to do a Reverse Tear Drop but Mizuki hit back with the Whirling Candy. Then with the champion feeling stunned, Mizuki ran up and did a Pop Up Double Stomp to flatten her before using another Cutie Special to win the match.

Mizuki said the match was hard and Watanabe was indeed a monster. But she also saw Watanabe shining like a princess first hand. She wanted to be the champion again and put so much pressure on herself she became worried over what to do if she lost. But hearing everyone’s cheers were what pushed Mizuki to do what she wanted to do and win. She is happy to see so many people come to see the show and told everyone 2025 is only just beginning for Tokyo Joshi Pro! When she exited the ring she saw Yuka Sakazaki watching from behind the entrance curtain and went to go join her. Backstage Watanabe said she feels lonely without the championship but she’ll keep doing her best.

The goal of reaching 10 defences is still on for 121000000. In Defence #3 Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh put the Princess Tag Team Titles on the line against the foreign pairing of Masha Slamovich & Zara Zakher. The champs also debuted new gear as well as a new intro song made by Itoh. Zakher dodged the Skull Kick and used a cartwheel to give Yamashita an RKO but Itoh broke the pin. The champs then gave Zakher a Stunner into a German Suplex. Itoh held Slamovich in a Crab Hold while Yamashita cut down Zakher with a Buzzsaw Kick before finishing her off with the Crash Rabbit Heat. Backstage Yamashita called it a tough match that woke her up from her new year slump. She then tried to get Itoh to apologize for eliminating her from the Princess Rumble. Itoh ignored her and headed back to the locker room. Slamovich told reporters she would like to defend the TNA Knockouts World Title the next time she comes back to Japan. Zakher also wants to keep coming back to TJPW until she wins a championship here.

The year long International Princess Title reign has come to an end! Yuki Arai was defeated by Suzume in her seventh attempted defence. Suzume was able to block the Rookie Award only for Arai to hit it from behind. She hit it again from the front but only got a two count for it. Suzume then countered the Full Nelson Buster into a Facebuster and went for the Ring A Bell. Arai blocked it and pushed Suzume to the ropes where Suzume did a springboard off the middle rope to launch herself into hitting the Ring A Bell for the victory! Suzume said from the first time they met she thought Arai’s presence was so powerful it was intimidating. But Suzume’s desire to win the title is stronger and everyone was cheering her, Arisu Endo included. She wants to fight wrestlers from around the world and break Arai’s title defence record. Arai doesn’t feel as upset as she thought she would be because she gave it her all. She now wants to become a pro wrestler who can take on many challenges and fight for other championships as well as the IP Title.

The team up of Yuki Kamifuku & Lei Ying Lee worked out well enough for them to win. As Kamifuku described it afterwards: yesterday’s enemy is tomorrow’s friend. She took out Rika Tatsumi with a Reverse Famouser while Lee ended up pinning Wakana Uehara with a Modified Hercules Cutter followed by the Thunder Strike. Lee said she had a great time in TJPW and would also like a rematch with Kamifuku for her championships. Kamifuku told her she’ll ask the company if they’re interested. Tatsumi said her new year fortune warned her that a storm-like disaster will occur and all of a sudden it happened here today! She also said Lee has an aura around her that nobody in TJPW has. Tatsumi also got mad when she heard Uehara say she would like to team up with Kamifuku next.

The return of Sakazaki to TJPW was slightly changed due to Haru Kazashiro falling ill. Her and Moka Miyamoto were still teaming up and Shino Suzuki was moved up the card to team with Endo in Kazahsiro’s place. Suzuki took her chance by putting Sakazaki in the Sleeper Hold but she was shaken off and dropped with the Tea Time. Endo tried to help her out but got brushed aside so Sakazaki & Miyamoto could finish Suzuki off. Sakazaki described Suzuki in her current state as a soft shelled turtle. She has a lot of guts and will grow into becoming a good wrestler. Sakazaki also noticed Endo has become calmer and more reliable than the last time they fought each other. She told Miyamoto to take care of TJPW so she can watch with peace of mind when everyone is doing their best. She would like to come back again even just to watch from the sidelines but is unsure of what her future schedule will be like.

2025 is the Year Of The Snake so that explains why Poison Sawada JULIE has suddenly returned to TJPW! He was called upon to be the special referee for the annual Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao match that was being held this year as a Lumber Snake Death Match. Sawada got up to his tricks before it even begun when Nakajima found an “energy drink” backstage, drank it and then fainted. The drink was actually Sawada’s potion that transformed her into a Snake Person! It turned out Sawada tricked several wrestlers into becoming Snake People and he led them out dancing to the song “Nikumikirenai Rokudenashi” by Kenji Sawada. He then announced he will transform TJPW into Hebikai Joshi Pro Wrestling! If Misao wants to bring everyone back to normal she will have to win and take the antidote from Sawada. Otherwise Misao will be forced to drink the potion too and become Viper Misao!

Misao now had to fight off an entire snake powered joshi company invasion by herself. It was made even tougher when Sawada stepped in to use his Snake Magic against her. She was able to block some of it by using her cape as a shield but Nakajima tucked the cape away to make it useless. Misao was attacked by the lumberjacks outside the ring so she ran off to get on the Hyper Mobile but Sawada’s magic steered her towards crashing into Mahiro Kiryu instead of his warriors. Misao fought back in the ring but when she was close to victory, Sawada pulled the ref out of the ring. Misao fought to get her cape back and when Nakajima used Snake Magic on her, Misao deflected it into Sawada to knock him out. She then gave Nakjima the Hypami Returns to win the match.

She quickly gave antidotes to the wrestlers after the match only to find out one was missing for Nakajima. Sawada revealed he purposely did not have enough antidotes for everyone so Nakajima would remain under his control! However Nakajima restrained herself from following his orders because she is determined to win the tag titles with Misao this year. Sawada could see Nakajima still has a human side to her so he revealed he actually does have one more antidote left and gave it to her. However as long as there is darkness in someone’s heart, he will return. Sawada also told Misao before leaving that she is too good to be a hero. TJPW then announced the annual Kyoraku Kyomei match will happen again at next year’s Ittenyon show.

Aja Kong was given the full Love Triangle experience and in return she gave them the full Aja Kong experience. Before the match began Kiryu was excluded from the other five wrestlers who all agreed to give her the Oyasumi Express. Kiryu lost her temper and Body Slammed all three opponents while Kong & Haruna Neko agreed to team with her as scheduled. She then demanded Kong apologize to her not once but twice because she felt the first one was not heartfelt. Kong told her she doesn’t know how to apologize so Kiryu demonstrated one by doing the Dogeza Knee Drop to Pom Harajuku. Kong was then asked by Harajuku for a New Year’s Gift so she hit Harajuku over the head with the steel can. Raku armed herself with her pillow to fight against Kong and her can. She hit Kong over the head with the pillow but got a Lariat in return. Yuki Aino came to the rescue and won the match for her team after giving Neko the Venus DDT. Kong blamed Kiryu for the loss because if she just accepted the 5-On-1 fight in the first place then Neko wouldn’t have lost! Kong also has bad knees so Kiryu shouldn’t have ordered her to apologize because it only would have made her knees worse!

The trio of Matcha, Ivy Steele & Kira Summer were excited to be in Japan for the holidays and wished everyone a happy new year while stretching Yoshiko Hasegawa in the middle of the ring. Hasegawa got some help from Kaya Toribami and together the two of them knocked Matcha & Summer out of the ring. That left Steele having to fight Ryo Mizunami by herself and she was beaten with a Spear. Mizunami said she was super happy to start the year with TJPW in front of a packed crowd. Despite losing, Matcha still thinks she was part of a good team and looks forward to seeing what will happen next.

The opening match was the TJPW debut of their newest signing, Mifu Ashida. She made a cheerleader type of entrance and used her agility to run circles around Toga & Chika Nanase. Toga cut her off with the Elbow Smash and hit a Rolling Thunder. She only got a two count because HIMAWARI broke the pin. Ashida tried fighting back but Toga hit her with another Elbow Smash and pinned her with the Rock Bottom. Toga said she sees Ashida as her rival because they debuted in the same year. She can tell she has a competitive side and would like to have a singles match against her. HIMAWARI called Ashida an immediate asset because she has a body with flexibility she has never seen before. Ashida herself is confident she can become a top wrestlers in TJPW within a year.

TJPW will soon be taking a ride on the bullet train! Sanshiro Takagi announced he will produce another wrestling match inside a travelling bullet train and this time it will involve TJPW. “SHINKANSEN JOSHI PRO WRESTLING” will be held on 15th February on the Nozomi line from Tokyo to Shin-Osaka. It will be an 8-Woman Falls Count Anywhere Match between Miu Watanabe, Mizuki, Raku & Aja Kong against Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh, Yuki Arai & Max The Impaler!

At the start of the show The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) debuted a new song called “Stand Up! Proof Of Love”. They were down a member because Uta Takami was out sick. When they finished the performance it was revealed that the lyrics were written by Hyper Misao!

8. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) defeated Zara Zakher with the Tear Drop (15:38).
*V5 for Miu Watanabe.

After losing to Zara Zakher twice this year, Miu Watanabe finally got to get a win back and under important circumstances. With this fifth successful Princess Of Princess Title defence, Watanabe now has the second most defences in a single reign behind Miyu Yamashita’s 10 win streak from 2018/2019. Zakher relied on the same game plan she used to beat Watanabe previously, using a backflip to avoid the champ’s attack and countering with the RKO. However this time Watanabe was able to block the Control Z, use a Double Hammer strike to fend off Zakher’s Lariats and countered a Jumping Knee Strike with a Power Slam. With Zakher’s offence nullified, Watanabe used the Laser Beam followed by the Tear Drop to win the match.

Watanabe told the fans how happy she was to defend the title in Osaka. She called Zakher a scary opponent for beating her twice before but it was also really fun to wrestle somebody as talented as her. Backstage she said she wants to get closer to Yamashita’s record for most title defences. She was asked by the interviewer if she has any thoughts about the 4th January Korakuen Hall show. Watanabe hasn’t thought about it yet because she was so focused on today. She is aware that anyone could come out to challenge her for the title on that show. Whoever it will be, she won’t turn them down. Zakher thought the atmosphere wrestling in Osaka was great and different from Tokyo. She promised to get more experience and come back to Tokyo Joshi Pro with the goal of winning one of the championships. Any of them will make her happy because she wants to win gold.

We’re not getting a two-time winner for the Next Generation Tournament because Wakana Uehara is out after the semi-finals! Haru Kazashiro scored the upset of the tournament by fighting out of the Banana Pillow submission and using the Fisherman Suplex to pin Uehara. Kazashiro admits she was worried because Uehara is the strongest of the 23 year old wrestlers in TJPW and Kazashiro is not very good at believing in herself. When she did win the match her head was feeling all over the place and took a moment before she realised the crowd were cheering for her victory. Uehara is upset she couldn’t make it to the final on 22nd November especially since she knows some of her fans already bought tickets to the show expecting to see her in that match.

Toga will be meeting Kazashiro in the final after she defeated Kira Summer. The combination of the Rolling Thunder and Rock Bottom gave Toga the victory. She feels vindicated because last year she was eliminated in the semi-finals in the same venue. She thought she would face Uehara in the final so it would be her chance to avenge last year’s defeat. However she didn’t expect to see Kazashiro beat Wakana. Toga is still motivated none the less. Shinjuku FACE is where her debut match was so she is excited to have the final be held there. Summer feel frustrated because everything she has done up to now was for this tournament but the difference in experience between her and her seniors is still wide. She knows she will get there eventually, she just doesn’t have the experience yet.

The Up Up Girls performed their brand new song “SEED” at the start of the show.

One of the other events that took place during Garafes was an arm wrestling tournament between a bunch of idols. The eventual winner was given a bonus arm wrestling match against a mysterious masked woman named M-chan who was wearing a familiar pink wrestling costume. M-chan easily defeated her opponent.

7. Miu Watanabe & Suzume Vs Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku

It’s been so long since TJPW had a tag team of sisters. Kira Summer is bringing over her sister Miki Fortune to team up together. Fortune’s a bit of a wild one so anyone expecting her to act just like Summer will be in for a surprise.

The Next Generation Tournament begins with on this show.

Shoko Nakajima will be in America for Deadlock Pro competing in the Battle Of The Best final so she will be missing this show. Yuki Kamifuku will also be absent because she will be defending the Asian Double Crown over in the Philippines.

5. KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi, Takayuki Ueki, Takeshi Masada & Mecha Mummy Vs Keigo Nakamura, To-y, Yuya Koroku, Yuki Ishida & Kazuma Sumi

A team of five from DDT’s new generation are going to challenge for the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles. SCHADENFREUDE have Takayuki Ueki subbing in for Antonio Honda but he was part of the team when they originally won the belts anyway. So it may as well be the champions entering the match at full force.

MIKAMI makes another DDT appearance this year.

One day before the DDT Extreme Title is defended, Akito and Danshoku Dieno are facing off in a wacky tag match with Pokotan and Yoshihiko also involved. The stipulation for the title match hasn’t been chosen yet but it would be leaving it very late if this match is meant to set it up.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’24” Results

October 6, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’24”, 06/10/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
611 Fans

2. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Kakeru Sekiguchi, Kira Summer & Chika Nanase when Aino pinned Nanase with the Venus DDT (10:02).
3. Suzume & Yoshiko Hasegawa defeated Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami when Hasegawa pinned Toribami with the Diving Double Knee Attack (10:08).
4. Mizuki & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Andreza Giant Panda & Shino Suzuki when Mizuki pinned Suzuki with the Cutie Special (7:53).
5. Maki Itoh & Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuna Manase & HIMAWARI when Tatsumi pinned HIMAWARI with an Inside Cradle (10:23).
6. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Kuroshio TOKYO Japan with an Ikemen Clutch Counter (5:58).
7. Ryo Mizunami defeated Arisu Endo with the HOT LIMIT (10:20).
8. Special Tag Match: Meiko Satomura & Shoko Nakajima defeated Miu Watanabe & Miyu Yamashita when Satomura pinned Yamashita with the Death Valley Bomb (18:40).

A grudge from seven years ago has been rekindled. Meiko Satomura first entered Tokyo Joshi Pro in 2017 to have a match against Miyu Yamashita and didn’t see the hype about her at all. She defeated her in an overwhelming fashion and that result has stuck with Yamashita all this time. So when news came out that Satomura will retire from wrestling next year, Yamashita quickly convinced TJPW to bring Satomura back so she can get a crack at revenge. It was decided that Yamashita will team with Miu Watanabe, bringing Momoiro Sparkling back together. It would also give Satomura a chance to wrestle the new top star of the promotion. Meanwhile Satomura was paired with Shoko Nakajima, partly because both of them are from Niigata so they at least had one reason to get along.

Satomura was the big target for Momoiro Sparkling. Yamashita in particular threw everything she had at her. She escaped the Death Valley Bomb to hit the Skull Kick but Satomura kicked out of it. She then went for the Crash Rabbit Heat but Satomura blocked it and returned fire with a Back Drop. Yamashita had the Scorpio Rising scouted and looked to have turned the tables again but Nakajima cut her momentum off before wiping out Watanabe with a Topé con Hilo. From there Satomura took over, landing two Death Valley Bombs on Yamashita. She then used the Scorpio Rising but didn’t hit the move right so she went back to using one more Death Valley Bomb to pin Yamashita for the three count.

After the match Yamashita stared and Satomura and wanted to strike her. Satomura stopped Yamashita and ordered her to stand back in her corner with Watanabe. She then got on the microphone and said even though TJPW’s style is different from other promotions, once you step inside the ring everyone becomes your enemy! Satomura will be retiring in six months time and before that happens she is planning to come back to TJPW for another match. So if there is anyone who in TJPW who wants to fight her again she will be waiting for them! Backstage Yamashita wasted little time in telling reporters she wants a singles match against Satomura because she cannot let her retire without finally being able to kick her down. Watanabe and Nakajima also showed interest in wanting to fight Satomura more after they heard her post-match speech.

Arisu Endo was also given a big wall to climb for her match. Both she and Ryo Mizunami were coming off of title match defeats at “WRESTLE PRINCESS V” so they were hungry for a bounce back victory. Endo used a Sleeper Hold to take Mizunami down to the mat to move into the Camel Clutch. But Mizunami was too stubborn to stay down from Endo’s further attacks and escaped from the Ju no Okite. She turned Endo inside out with a Lariat and then won the match with the HOT LIMIT. She said Endo has a long way to go but what’s charming about her is her incredible originality. She can tell Endo is starting to enjoy wrestling and feel fulfilled by it. She could become a fearsome wrestler in two or three years time. Endo thinks she gained more than she lost from this match. Mizunami’s power and passion motivates her to take another step forward.

With the Asian Double Crown match postponed until Xia Zhao can sort out her visa problem, Yuki Kamifuku was given a mystery opponent instead. The dreaded X turned out to be Kuroshio TOKYO Japan, full blown entrance and all! Kamifuku was confused by Kuroshio’s delayed entrance especially when the song ended and he left the room, only to return when the song restarted. When he was finally ready to start the match he told Kamifuku he heard she would like to have a match with him some day. So when he found out she needed an opponent on short notice, he was happy to answer the call. Kamifuku said that is true but she doesn’t want to do the match today. She then called him an idiot for not understanding how women feel. Kuroshio took offence and attacked her. He then brought her out to the front row just so he could attack her in front of one of her biggest fans. Back in the ring Kamifuku fought back and hit the Famouser for a nearfall. Kuroshio made a comeback but his Ikemen Clutch finisher was countered out of nowhere, resulting in Kamifuku pulling off the upset victory. She later praised Kuroshio for being the surprise opponent. She appreciated that he came dressed like someone from TJPW would and thinks they could even team together next time. Kuroshio though wanted to make it clear this appearance wasn’t meant to be a polite gesture. He really wanted to win and then challenge Kamifuku for her two championships.

Can you believe today was the very first time Maki Itoh & Rika Tatsumi teamed up together for a regular tag match? Maybe it’s for a good reason because Tatsumi was really enthusiastic for Itoh’s singing entrance. It was enough to annoy Itoh and throw off their team dynamic before the match even began. Yuna Manase & HIMAWARI were a little off-kilter too by they had the teamwork to make up for it. As the match went on Itoh dragged HIMAWARI out of the ring and tied her hair up against the bleacher handrail by the entrance. While Manase went over to free her, Itoh & Tatsumi started in-fighting again and even attacked each other. Things calmed down between them until Itoh missed a Headbutt aimed for HIMAWARI that hit Tatsumi instead. HIMAWARI then tricked Tatsumi into choking Itoh in the corner. Sensing victory, HIMAWARI tried to put Tatsumi in a Half Crab Hold but it was countered into an Inside Cradle for the three count. Tatsumi shook Itoh’s hand after the match but Itoh responded by giving her the middle finger.

Trust the bunny rabbit to bring a weapon for a fight against a giant panda. Mizuki carried a Pico Pico Hammer to the ring, jumped off the top rope and landed a direct hit right onto Andreza Giant Panda’s noggin. Mahiro Kiryu was horrified by her partner’s actions and forced Mizuki to apologise with her. Andreza recovered and knocked back Kiryu with a Spinning Back Fist. Shino Suzuki tagged in to do the heavy lifting while Andreza recovered out of the ring. He returned but was cut off by Kiryu demanded that he too should apologise to everyone. Andreza took a moment to consider before kneeling down on the canvas to apologise dogeza style. Then he got back up and immediately Headbutted Kiryu. Andreza went for another Headbutt that missed Mizuki and hit Suzuki instead. Mizuki brought out a rope and ran circles around Andreza to make him trip over. She then hit a Diving Foot Stomp and had Kiryu keep the panda down so she could pin Suzuki with the Cutie Special. Backstage Andreza apologised to Suzuki via his handler.

With Endo busy being a singles wrestler today, Suzume went to team with Yoshiko Hasegawa. The pairing worked out well and the two of them defeated Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami. Miyamoto did her part in getting rid of Suzume but Toribami found herself going back and forth against Hasegawa. It ended in Hasegawa’s favour with her hitting the Diving Double Knee Attack for the win.

Halloween is this month so the Love Triangle were in a trick or treat mood. Yuki Aino brought out a brand new red and pink costume for the match while Pom Harajuku wore a paper mask of Mahiro Kiryu’s face to make fun of Kakeru Sekiguchi. She even tried to copy Kiryu’s apology as a joke but Sekiguchi told her to do it properly. Aino almost pinned Chika Nanase with a Senton but Kira Summer broke the pin. Sekiguchi tried to follow up but was taken out by the teamwork of Raku & Harajuku. Aino was then clear to beat Nanase with the Venus DDT.

The opening match was a preview for the Next Generation Tournament beginning later this month with four of the eight participants facing off in a tag bout. Toga & Uta Takami were both fired up to fight last year’s winner Wakana Uehara. However Haru Kazahiro took out Toga with a Low Cross Body and while Takami put up a passionate fight, Uehara made her tap out to the Banana Pillow.

At the start of the show Haruna Neko announced she is finally cleared to start wrestling again and her comeback match will take place on 27th October. She had been out of action since last September when she tore both her ACL and her meniscus. During her time off to recover she was able to be an advertised second at ringside for some of TJPW’s major shows.

Two new trainees who were introduced to the audience. Kana is a 19 year old from Kanagawa who is also a trainee for The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling). Her trainee role was already revealed by The Up Up Girls back in July but today is the first time TJPW is acknowledging her. The other trainee is Konatsu, a 23 year old from Shizuoka. She was inspired by Suzume to become a pro wrestler. TJPW also announced they will be holding more auditions for new trainees throughout the rest of the month.
