7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Miyu Yamashita defeated Hyper Misao with the Crash Rabbit Heat (12:38).
An unnamed member of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster who was not at today’s show tested positive in a PCR exam for COVID-19. She is currently being treated and has no worrying symptoms to report at this time. For the entire roster’s safety, tomorrow’s show in Kanda Myojin Hall and the Itabashi Green Hall show on the 22nd have been cancelled. The person had not been in close contact with DDT wrestlers so today’s DDT show went ahead as scheduled as will tomorrow’s BOYZ show. However, Daisuke Kiso will not work those events because he was on the TJPW show.
Hyper Misao was so thankful for the fan support she got from beating Yuka Sakazaki last week. To prove how important the Tokyo Princess Cup is for her, she gathered together her most important weapons and emptied them in the ring to show Miyu Yamashita they will have a fair fight. Yamashita saw through her plan and blocked the attempted Cold Spray attack. However, Misao had a second can and froze her opponent for a nearfall. Misao used the spray again outside the ring and rolled Yamashita up in the ring apron. Yamashita avoided the countout and tackled Misao while still wrapped up in the apron. Misao used an exposed turnbuckle for another advantage but Yamashita kicked her away. She blocked the Vanitas, hit the Attitude Adjustment and won with the Crash Rabbit Heat. Could this finally be Yamashita’s year to win the tournament?
Meeting Yamashita in the semi-final will be Shoko Nakajima. Her win over Natsumi Maki means Maki will have to wait even longer for her next rematch with Yamashita. Nakajima did the Northern Lights Suplex but couldn’t hold on the bridge for the pin. She corrected that by doing a Double Arm DDT and then the Diving Senton for the victory.
Over on the other side of the bracket, Maki Itoh reached her career best in the tournament, advancing to the semi final over Miu Watanabe. Itoh blocked the Laserbeam strike with a Headbutt then hit the Flying Big Head. Rather than go for the pin, Itoh hit a second Flying Big Head to ensure Watanabe would not kick out.
Waiting for Itoh in the semi final is last year’s winner Mizuki. That means the former Itoh Respect Army explodes! Mizuki used an Avalanche Cutie Special on Yuki Aino but was too damaged to pin her straight away. Aino recovered and hit the Venus DDT. She went for the UBV but Mizuki countered it with a Casadora and a Double Stomp. She hit the standard Cutie Special to put Aino away.
The Tokyo Princess Cup semi final matches are Mizuki Vs Maki Itoh and Shoko Nakajima Vs Miyu Yamashita. They were supposed to take place tomorrow but they will have to be rescheduled over the sudden cancellation. Should everything be okay after testing then the next show on the calendar is the final itself on 29th August. They can easily do the semi finals and final on the same show if they have to.

Over on the other side of the bracket, Natsumi Maki and Shoko Nakajima promises to be frantic. Finally Miyu Yamashita’s meets the biggest reminder of her Princess Cup curse. Hyper Misao’s upset over Yamashita back in 2016 is what cemented this jinx in the first place. But did Misao use up all her luck knocking out Yuka Sakazaki?

He was beaten in the 1st Round by Akito but was rescued from elimination by winning the Dramatic Chance Battle Royal. And his partnership with T-Hawk is the origin of the DAMNHEARTS business alliance. Akito wants revenge on T-Hawk after he lost to him at “JUDGEMENT 2019” in Sumo Hall last February.

Onita and Takashi Sugiura had a little death match feud half a decade ago that never really went anywhere. Might as well rekindle it because 2020 is weird enough to make it happen. There is also the two unusual joshi offshoots Gake no Fuchi Joshi and Pocchari Joshi getting paired against each other.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 09/08/2020 Tokyo Kanda Myojin Hall ??? Fans
1. Miyu Yamashita, Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Natsumi Maki, Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori when Harajuku pinned Shiori with the Pom Do Justice (9:31).
2. 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Nodoka Tenma and Haruna Neko when Nakajima pinned Neko with the Northern Lights Suplex (5:52).
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Mizuki defeated Suzume with the Cutie Special (7:46).
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Maki Itoh defeated Yuki Kamifuku with the Itoh Deluxe (7:32).
5. Yuka Sakazaki, Mina Shirakawa & Moka Miyamoto defeated Hyper Misao, Raku & Himawari Unagi when Sakazaki pinned Unagi with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (9:27).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Miu Watanabe defeated Mirai Maiumi with the Tear Drop (9:20).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Yuki Aino defeated Rika Tatsumi with the UBV (13:36).
Round 2 is bigger than Round 1 so half the field wrestled their matches today with the other half getting ready for tomorrow. Yuki Aino leads the charge into the Quarter Finals, beating Rika Tatsumi in the main event. Her new UBV finisher is being polished, looking more like a big drop to the canvas rather than just a Double Arm Suplex. Aino has become so absorbed in her matches recently that she becomes very happy over winning the matches that are important to her. This is one because Aino has known Tatsumi ever since Aino was a ring announcer.
At least one of the Princess Tag Team Champions is still in the tournament. Miu Watanabe beat Mirai Maiumi but still felt the love and feelings for pro wrestling from her opponent. Maiumi blocked the Laserbeam and put Watanabe in a Chickenwing Armlock until the rope was grabbed. Watanabe got to hit the Laserbeam and won with the Tear Drop.
Friends has to become enemies when Maki Itoh and Yuki Kamifuku faced off. Itoh’s Headbutt was the difference maker and it led to the Itoh Deluxe finish. Itoh is happy to advance past the 2nd Round for the first time. From here on she’s in a world she’s never been in before. She says she will calm down and aim for victory.
Last year’s Tokyo Princess Cup winner Mizuki was prepared for what Suzume threw at her. Suzume spent most of the match fighting from beneath looking for chances to flash pin Mizuki. Her last chance was countering the Cutie Special into a Front Sleeper. Unfortunately for her, Mizuki managed to hit her finisher for the three count. Mizuki gives Suzume credit for putting her in several dangerous situations causing her to never leave her guard open.
After today’s show there are two Quarter Finals currently filled. Mizuki Vs Yuki Aino and Miu Watanabe Vs Maki Itoh will happen on 15th August. The other two Quarter Finals will be determined on tomorrow’s show.
The bracket draw for this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup took place a couple of hours after today’s Tokyo Joshi Pro show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BRAND NEW WRESTLING 4 ~TAKE NOT, BUT GIVE~”, 23/07/2020 Tokyo Korakuen Hall 490 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. Moka Miyamoto Debut Match: Mirai Maiumi & Sena Shiori defeated Moka Miyamaoto & Suzume when Maiumi pinned Miyamoto with a Lariat (8:25).
2. Himawari Unagi Return Match: Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Himawari Unagi & Haruna Neko when Harajuku pinned Unagi with the Pom do Justice (8:18).
3. Hikari Noa defeated Raku with the Uranage (7:24).
4. Mina Shirakawa defeated Yuki Kamifuku with the GSS (8:20).
5. Yuna Manase Regular Participation Last Match: Miyu Yamashita, Mizuki & Natsumi Maki defeated Yuna Manase, Nodoka Tenma & Maki Itoh when Yamashita pinned Tenma with the Crash Rabbit Heat (16:06).
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe (c) defeated Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao when Tatsumi pinned Misao with the Missile Hip (13:50). *V3 for Daydream.
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) defeated Yuki Aino with the Magical Girl Niwatori Yaro (18:00). *V3 for Yuka Sakazaki.
The world of Tokyo Joshi Pro is constantly evolving. Yuka Sakazaki proved that by doing a 450 version of the Magical Girl Splash to beat Yuki Aino. Even Sakazaki herself was surprised by how far she flew with that move. She said after the match that she shouldn’t be stagnant in situations like these which is why she used what is now called the Magical Girl Niwatori Yaro. She celebrated in the ring with Mizuki to close out the show. Sakazaki’s next goal is to win the Tokyo Princess Cup so she can continue her title reign without having any further challengers.
Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao pulled out all the stops in their attempt to win the Princess Tag Team Titles. It’s been six months since TJPW was in Korakuen Hall so the two of them wanted to give everyone a fun and exciting pro wrestling match. The most exciting thing they could think of was beating Daydream by any means necessary! Misao used cold spray to blind Miu Watanabe and taped her feet to the corner post so she was left hanging outside the ring. Misao brought out her bicycle and tried to run Watanabe over but Watanabe lifted herself up and Misao crashed into the railing. Nakajima filled the ring with kaiju toys but she was slammed on top of them by Watanabe. She used the Tear Drop on Nakajima, leaving Rika Tatsumi to scoop up the win by hitting Misao with the Missile Hip Attack. The champions agreed it was a really fun match.
Yuna Manase has bid farewell to Tokyo Joshi. She won’t be gone forever but her future lies elsewhere. In the final moments of her match, Manase took a Skull Kick from Miyu Yamashita. There were no hard feelings over it, they hugged after the match. Manase hugged Mizuki and Natsumi Maki too. She said she loved being inside the Tokyo Joshi ring. She will definitely come back again someday and when she does she will be able to fight on a higher level.
Jealousy reared its ugly head within Cat’s Pye, causing Yuki Kamifuku and Mina Shirakawa to face off in a Gravure Wrestler Showdown. Shirakawa won the match with her Glamorous Strong Style Facebuster. There was a tense moment afterwards when Kamifuku hesitated shaking Shirakawa’s hand. But she did so and and two friends left the ring together. Kamifuku said in a backstage interview that she wants to learn more about pro wrestling now she has been doing it for four years. Shirakawa has been inspired by Jushin Liger but he doesn’t match Kamifuku’s taste. So Kamifuku is going to start watching Shuji Ishikawa matches from All Japan.
The other two thirds of The Up Up Girls had a singles match together. Raku came close to a win with the Doctor Yellow. Hikari Noa hit back with a Lariat and won with the Uranage. The result has only motivated Raku to try even harder for her first singles win.
Himawari Unagi returned to the ring for her first match in nine and a half months. She had a new costume and new entrance music for her comeback match. She reunited with three of the other HiSPC wrestlers, teaming with Haruna Neko to wrestle Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu. Neko got rid of Kiryu with the Codebreaker but Unagi couldn’t seal the deal. Harajuku hit the Pom do Justice to end Unagi’s return with a loss.
The newest Tokyo Joshi debut is Moka Miyamoto. She majored in Japanese Culture at university which is why she wrestled in a hakama. Suzume was there to help out but most of the match was Miyamoto trying to fight off Mirai Maiumi & Sena Shiori.
There will be 21 women entering this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup. The full list is Yuka Sakazaki, Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe, Shoko Nakajima, Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh, Natsumi Maki, Mizuki, Hyper Misao, Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino, Hikari Noa, Raku, Yuki Kamifuku, Mina Shirakawa, Haruna Neko, Pom Harajuku, Mahiro Kiryu, Himawari Unagi, Mirai Maiumi and Suzume.
The Tokyo Dome City Hall show will go ahead on 7th November. At the moment they are permitted to set up the venue to 50% capacity.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2020 SUMMER ~TJPW IS 『 』~”, 18/07/2020 Nagoya City East Sports Center 2nd Stadium 148 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Suzume defeated Sena Shiori with a Diving Body Attack (6:28).
2. 3 Way Match: Mizuki defeated Nodoka Tenma and Mahiro Kiryu when Mizuki pinned Kiryu with the Cutie Special (8:04).
3. Natsumi Maki & Hikari Noa defeated Maki Itoh & Pom Harajuku when Maki pinned Harajuku with the Backlash (10:31).
4. Yuna Manase & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Mina Shirakaw & Mirai Maiumi when Manase pinned Maiumi with a Lariat (9:16).
5. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Miu Watanabe & Haruna Neko when Misao pinned Neko with the I Am A Hero (9:51).
6. Yuka Sakazaki & Miyu Yamashita defeated Yuki Aino & Raku when Yamashita pinned Raku with the Skull Kick (11:15).
The Tokyo Joshi Pro roster were happy to wrestle in Nagoya again after an 8 month absence. Miyu Yamashita told the audience they will continue to fight for everyone who comes to see them. Yuka Sakazaki was thankful for Nagoya’s kindness towards the promotion travelling from Tokyo to put this show together.
Sakazaki and Yuki Aino were on even ground in the main event. Sakazaki blocked the UBV while Aino dodged the Magical Girl Splash. Raku got overeager when she did the Diving Brain Chop to Yamashita. She dropped her guard so Yamashita could rush her with kicks and win the match with the Skull Kick.
Miu Watanabe is learning how to handle Hyper Misao’s tricks. But in a twist it’s Shoko Nakajima doing the same things that is throwing Watanabe off. Nakajima sprayed Watanabe in the face with cold spray and applied the Unmanned Local Train Hold between the ropes to hold her in place. That allowed Misao to beat Haruna Neko with the I Am A Hero.
With Yuna Manase going to leave Tokyo Joshi, that means Cat’s Pye will be going away. Tensions between Yuki Kamifuku and Mina Shirakawa have gotten worse. Inbetween the wrestler there was also some hair pulling and harsher strikes from one to the other. Manase had to play peacemaker after the match when Kamifuku refused to shake Shirakawa’s hand.
Pandemic Boo Boo had a tight match against Maki Itoh & Pom Harajuku. The Pom Du Justice was blocked when Hikari Noa intercepted the move with a mid-air Dropkick to Harajuku. Natsumi Maki did the Neck Screw Hold but Itoh broke the pin with a Falling Headbutt. Maki then pinned Harajuku with the Backlash.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2020 SUMMER ~TJPW IS 『 』~”, 12/07/2020 Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall 108 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. Natsumi Maki defeated Sena Shiori with the Backlash (6:42).
2. 3 Way Match: Maki Itoh defeated Haruna Neko and Suzume when Itoh submitted Neko with the Itoh Deluxe (8:34).
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa defeated Miyu Yamashita & Pom Harajuku when Kamifuku pinned Harajuku with the Fame Asser (10:33).
4. Yuna Manase & Hikari Noa defeated Miu Watanabe & Raku when Manase pinned Raku with the Suzuki Dynamic (10:12).
5. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu when Misao pinned Kiryu with La Magistral Cradle (12:15).
6. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Yuki Aino & Mirai Maiumi when Sakazaki pinned Maiumi with the Magical Girl Splash (14:12).
The main event had Yuka Sakazaki and Yuki Aino squaring off in preparation for Korakuen Hall later this month. Their attention to each other split off to the other wrestlers in the match. Aino gave Mizuki her new UBV finisher then left it to Mirai Maiumi to take care of Sakazaki. That was a fatal mistake because Sakazaki gave Mirai the Magical Merry-Go-Round then pinned her with the Magical Girl Splash. Mizuki admitted to Sakazaki after the match that Aino is dangerous. The Magical Sugar Rabbits have to be even more alert against her.
If Shoko Nakajima is teaming with Hyper Misao then she may as well learn to cheat like her too. During their match they brought Rika Tatsumi over to her cornergirl Miu Watanabe at ringside and taped the two together back to back. Tatsumi had to get back inside the ring with Watanabe taped to her but they were able to cooperate and even use themselves as a weapon. When Daisuke Kiso tried to free Daydream from the tape, Nakajima & Misao used the numbers advantage against Mahiro Kiryu. Misao purposely loosened her mask so Kiryu would pull it off by accident, Nakajima hit Kiryu with the 619 after the distraction and Misao got the pin with La Magistral Cradle.
Yuna Manase thanked the Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) for wrestling with her one last time before she ends her regular Tokyo Joshi Pro participation. She got permission from them to give an idol style introduction for the audience and also perform “Upper Kick” with the group. She said her Up Up Girls name would have been Mamamama Manase.
Trouble is brewing with Pink Ready. At the start of the show it was announced Yuki Kamifuku and Mina Shirakawa will have a singles match against each other on 23rd July. They were on opposite sides in a tag match today and Kamifuku won out. Shirakawa told Kamifuku she is determined to win at Korakuen. Kamifuku said she is sorry to see her friend act this way but she won’t lose to her.
Maki Itoh tried to literally sit out of the 3 Way Match by resting on the top turnbuckle. She’s a big star so she would only fight the winner between Haruna Neko and Suzume. Those two got fed up with Itoh’s behaviour and attacked her instead. Itoh blocked Suzume’s Diving Cross Body with a Headbutt then countered Neko’s Codebreaker into the Itoh Deluxe to win.
Nodoka Tenma had to miss the show due to a case of strep throat.

Well this week they have plenty to talk about. The Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ tournament is coming back but first they have a Banquet show to get through. The IRON FIST TAG Titles match is now also a Pro Wrestling Trial with Ryuchi Sekine going to court.

5. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Yuki Aino
Yuki Aino won the No. 1 Contender match to earn the Princess Of Princess Title shot. Beating Yuka Sakazaki for the title would be a tremendous way to cap off the last few months for her.
What a powerful force Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao can be together. The kaiju and superhero might be the strongest combination around to take the Princess Tag Titles from Daydream.
Yuna Manase has decided to end her regular participation with Tokyo Joshi Pro on 23rd July. Manase has been wrestling for TJPW since 2017 and in the last year reached several achievements. She made it to the final of the Tokyo Princess Cup and won the International Princess Title. However she couldn’t win the Princess Cup final and failed to defend the International Title even once. Her wrestling career began in Stardom, went to Actwres girl’Z and ended up in TJPW. All three companies mean a lot to Manase so she spoke to Rossy Ogawa, Tetsuya Koda and Keiji Sakaguchi before making this decision. She does not want to quit pro wrestling but she understands she is in the latter stages of her career. The time has come for her to try something new yet she hasn’t decided on what her future will be past the 23rd.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Yuki Ueno
I don’t know what goes on in Shinya Aoki’s mind. He chose Maku Donaruto as his next DDT Extreme Title challenger. What must he be thinking to do with him?
Akiyama-gun have been training for the 8-Man Tag against ALL OUT. Their latest session also included Yukio Naya and Keigo Nakamura as sparring partners. Hideki Okatani said he is learning a lot of details from Jun Akiyama in a way that is different from when he was a trainee. Mizuki Watase said he would like to use the Front Neck Lock the same way Akiyama does it. Makoto Oishi is also eager to wrestle like his coach does. Akiyama joked that the entire group is cohesive except for Oishi. One last thing, Akiyama-gun are looking for an official unit name and have asked fans to come out with one. They will pick a name in time for the Korakuen Hall show.

7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe (c) defeated Maki Itoh & Raku when Watanabe pinned Raku with the Tear Drop (15:22). *V2 for Daydream.
After a 4 month wait, the Princess Tag Team Titles were finally defended again. Daydream earned their second defence by beating Maki Itoh & Raku in the main event. Miu Watanabe was put in danger when Itoh gave her a Swinging DDT and Raku followed up with the Doctor Yellow. Watanabe kicked out though and turned things around to win the match with the Tear Drop. She was happy to wrestle against Raku in a title match because they both work so hard to be here. Rika Tatsumi said she wanted strong opponents for their next defence at Korakuen Hall. Out came Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao! Nakajima explained she was supposed to have an International Princess Title match in America but that was cancelled. So she now wants to fight for the Tag Titles instead. Misao is teaming with her because Misao cannot think of anything more exciting than the two of them fighting against Daydream for the belts.
We now have the next challenger for the Princess Of Princess Title for 23rd July. Yuki Aino used a High Angle Double Arm Suplex to beat Yuki Kamifuku after a few close shaves. The move is called “UBV” but it also has an alternate name called “Infinite Love And Fire”. Aino called out Yuka Sakazaki after the match. Aino told her she isn’t just challenging her for the Princess Title, she is going to win it! Sakazaki said Aino has no future if she doesn’t push herself further in their title match.
Natsumi Maki painted “Poi” onto her face correctly this time.
Himawari Unagi has her return match on 23rd July. She had been out of action for around 9 months. She sees herself starting from the bottom again because there are now wrestlers on the roster who had their debuts during her absence.
