“SHINJUKU FACE 20TH ANNIVERSARY ~MILESTONE~”, Results

“SHINJUKU FACE 20TH ANNIVERSARY ~MILESTONE~”, 31/07/2025
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

5. Hiromu Takahashi & Chris Brookes Vs Yuki Ueno & Atsuki Aoyagi ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).

To celebrate 20 years of Shinjuku FACE a special show was put together featuring wrestlers from six different promotions. Really it was a DDT show with guests from New Japan, All Japan, OZ Academy, Up Town and West Gate Wrestling Federation involved. Hiromu Takahashi teamed with Chris Brookes while Atsuki Aoyagi teamed with Yuki Ueno in the main event tag match that lasted the full 20 minutes. Ueno felt the match was short but as long as Shinjuku FACE continues to exist there will always be more to come. Brookes was more upset that the bar was now closed because the show is about to end. Aoyagi said he would have liked to have done a singles match but he’s too tired right now. Takahashi said he hasn’t wrestled in this venue a lot but he has a fond memory of a New Japan show he did here back in May 2011. He beat a young lion making his debut named Takaaki Watanabe. Takahashi doesn’t know what ever happened to him but believes he would have become a superstar had he stuck around…

MAO and Kuroshio TOKYO Japan ended up chasing each other around the room with the Dramatic Dream bike involved. When they went back to the ring Kuroshio demanded a strike exchange to determine who is more popular. It turned into a series of roll ups that eventually ended with MAO scoring the three count.

The first pro wrestling match to be held in Shinjuku FACE 20 years ago featured Mayumi Ozaki so it was fitting she would get to take part in today’s show. That wasn’t the only special thing about Match #3. Sanshiro Takagi announced a surprise for everyone and called out Konosuke Takeshita! Then Shin Sakura Hirota wearing her complete Takeshita costume. After Ozaki won the match she told the fans she looks forward to their continued support for OZ Academy, herself and also DDT.

Minoru Suzuki got stuck with the parody wrestlers from West Gate Wrestling Federation. He enjoyed beating them up though.

In the opening match Kazuki Hirata made the mistake of launching an attack on DAMNATION T.A by himself. They easily took care of him and Daisuke Sasaki tapped him out before Hirata’s partners could even do anything. Staff forced the match to restart and this time DAMNATION T.A won in a more regular manner.

At the end of the show all of the wrestlers gathered in the ring alongside some of the venue’s staff. Everyone was introduced to Yuka Ogawa who was responsible for organizing today’s event. She said she is truly happy to have travelled this path of pro wrestling for 20 years. This show was a source of pride for her and her staff. She promised fans that they will continue to do their best to fill Shinjuku FACE with the same joy and excitement that everyone felt today.

There is an interesting piece of trivia about Shinjuku FACE that a Tokyo Sports article had yesterday. Mayumi Ozaki took part in the first pro wrestling match held in the venue 20 years ago! Shinjuku FACE’s first event after it opened was a women’s MMA show but it included a joshi wrestling match as bonus main event featuring Ozaki & Dynamite Kansai against Aja Kong & Manami Toyota. The only other person working on this show who was there from the start is Yuka Ogawa, the staff member who is interviewed in the above Tokyo Sports article.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 23/08/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Single Match: Maki Itoh Vs X
2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: X Vs X

So this is a weird one. Maki Itoh had plans to tour America again during the Tokyo Princess Cup but that schedule has now been cancelled and she is staying in Japan. As far as I know the only announced dates for Itoh’s tour up to this point were the two GCW Homecoming shows taking place during the same weekend as the Tokyo Princess Cup final. Since the tournament has already began, Tokyo Joshi Pro decided not to add her into it. Given the timing it was probably too late to book her as Moka Miyamoto’s replacement in Miyu Yamashita’s 1st Round match. Instead Itoh will have a match against one of the eliminated wrestlers on the same day as the final. Her opponent will not be revealed until after the semi finals on 17th August have been completed.

TJPW announced yesterday that Moka Miyamoto will continue to miss shows for the time being while she is getting treated for her illness. They have not gotten into any further detail about what has happened to her other than they will let everyone know when she will return.
