Order Of Elimination: Yuna Manase, Poison Sawada JULIE, Hyper Misao, Antonio Honda, Miyu Yamashita, Kira Summer, Maki Itoh, HIMAWARI, Pokotan, Mahiro Kiryu, Wakana Uehara, Haruna Neko, Kaya Toribami, Aja Kong, Rika Tatsumi, Ryo Mizunami, Yuki Arai, Raku, Yuki Aino.

The final Tokyo Joshi Pro show of 2024 was like a big party to close out the year. The very last match TJPW put together this year was the first Princess Rumble. It a 20-person Rumble with eliminations by pinfall, submission or being thrown over the top rope and out of the ring. Yuki Aino and HIMAWARI drew the unlucky first two entries but Aino was able to last until the very end. Yuna Manase was eliminated first to continue the unlucky weekend she’s been having. Hyper Misao showed why heroes still wear capes by using hers as a shield from Poison Sawada JULIE’s snake magic. Mahiro Kiryu apologized for 2024 as a whole. Kira Summer was able to eliminate Antonio Honda because the language barrier between them meant she wouldn’t fall for the Gongitsune trick. Maki Itoh used a pile of other wrestlers as a podium so she could sing above everyone. She also betrayed Miyu Yamashita by pulling the top rope down so Yamashita could fall out of the ring and get eliminated. Rika Tatsumi crushed Pokotan’s head before she eliminated the mascot. Haruna Neko was eliminated by everyone piling on top of her. Aja Kong was one of the mystery entrants. She eliminated Wakana Uehara and also helped Raku eliminate Kaya Toribami. Raku then hugged Arai and everyone piled on top of them. That meant Raku accidentally pinned Kong to eliminate her. The other surprise was Ryo Mizunami but she almost got herself disqualified by taking too long to enter the ring because she was partying too much at ringside. The two singles champions Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai tried working together until Aino & Raku got the better of Arai to knock her out of the match. Watanabe was able to fight on by herself and use the Tear Drop on Raku and then Aino to win the Rumble!

Watanabe was happy to win the match because she wins the prize which includes 10kg of rice cakes! She doesn’t actually know how many rice cakes that is but it doesn’t matter because winning the Princess Rumble is more proof that she is a princess, not a monster! Some of the other wrestlers got to say some words to close out the show. Arai said by spending the year as a champion, 2024 is the year that made her love pro wrestling. Yamashita is happy to have wrestled overseas a lot this year and she won a championship with Itoh. She then remembered Itoh eliminated her from the Rumble so she should be mad at her. Itoh quickly changed the subject by asking the fans who is the cutest in the world? Watanabe finished by saying how happy she is that so many people came to see TJPW this year. So let’s make next year even better!

A good chunk of the card was made up of championship matches featuring titles from wrestling companies around Southeast Asia. Yuki Kamifuku put her Asian Double Crown on the line against Lei Ying Lee from China in a match that was delayed since October. The vital point in the match was when Kamifuku countered a Power Bomb into the Famouser. She then dodged the Thunder Strike to hit another Famouser for the victory. She wondered why she had to spend the last show of the year taking part in a tough championship match when almost everyone else was being put in fun party matches. She didn’t like the vibe coming from Ying Lee but she does like her makeup so she wants to team up with her in the future. Ying Lee said this was her first title match since leaving WWE so she prepared a lot for it. She is disappointed she lost but thinks Kamifuku is a great opponent so she is also happy they had a great match against each other.

In a rematch from Thailand last month Pom Harajuku faced Matcha with the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title once again on the line. Harajuku wanted to win quickly but Matcha made sure they were going to have a challenging fight. Matcha thought she had the upper hand when she did the Saito Suplex but Harajuku immediately hit her back with the Pom de Justice. She then knocked Matcha off her feet with a Shin Kick to land another Pom de Justice for the three count and successful first defence. Backstage Harajuku thought defending once means the belt now belongs to her permanently. She got confused when everyone around her shook their heads. She admits the match was so crazy that she isn’t feeling right after it. Like she is no longer 3 years old but is now 18 months old. Matcha is sad she wasn’t able to win back the title but will not give up on her goal to be the SETUP champion again. She is also happy she got to wrestle in Korakuen Hall again nine years after her last match there.

The bulk of the undercard was made up of a 5 Vs 5 Team Gauntlet match called TJPW RUSH! Every match had a five minute time limit and could be won with a 2-Count Pinfall until one team lost all of its members. If time expired then it will go to Overtime with 1-Count Pinfalls needed to win. Shoko Nakajima was the Red Team captain and chose to enter first while the White Team captain Mizuki placed herself last in her team. Nakajima went off to a good start by beating Yoshiko Hasegawa and then Uta Takami. But the first upset of the match came when Shino Suzuki got a 2-Count pin on Nakajima to eliminate her! Suzuki continued the momentum by pinning Toga next but her underdog run came to an end thanks to Moka Miyamoto. The first time limit draw then happened between Miyamoto and Suzume. In Overtime Suzume scored the 1-Count pin to move on. She then went to another draw this time against her own Daisy Monkey partner Arisu Endo. This time Suzume lost in Overtime and was out. It was all up to Mizuki to save the White Team and she did it by beating Endo. The Red Team’s final entrant Haru Kazashiro fought her to a draw but Mizuki pinned her with the Cutie Special in Overtime to win the match outright. The White Team’s prize included a luxery set of beef and chicken (in other words, red and white meat). Mizuki revealed backstage their team order was Suzuki’s idea so she got the credit for the White Team’s victory.

Ivy Steele earned her first victory in TJPW by beating Chika Nanase in the opening match. She was able to get past the Inari Torii and use a Pumphandle Slam to win.

There was an announcement of two TJPW shows being held in Nagoya at the end of March right before Arai graduates from SKE48. There will be a full wrestling show at Chunichi Hall on 29th March. Then on the 30th there will be a show containing only three matches but will also include an SKE48 concert. Arai will wrestle and perform in the concert on the 30th. Her SKE48 graduation will then happen on the 31st.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SE-NO, MERRY CHRISTMAS! 2024” Results

December 21, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SE-NO, MERRY CHRISTMAS! 2024”, 21/12/2024
Tokyo Tama Mirai Messe
356 Fans

1. Chika Nanase defeated Uta Takami with the Inari Torii Aratame (6:32).
2. Moka Miyamoto defeated Ivy Steele with the Rashomon (5:09).
3. Mahiro Kiryu defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Spinebuster (5:42).
4. Raku defeated Shino Suzuki with the Doctor Yellow (4:36).
5. Maki Itoh defeated Toga with the Itoh Deluxe (6:26).
6. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Yuki Aino ended in a Time Limit Draw (7:00).
7. Matcha & Kaya Toribami defeated Pom Harajuku & HIMAWARI when Matcha pinned Harajuku with the Saito Suplex (7:14).
8. Hyper Misao defeated Haru Kazashiro with a Gedo Clutch (5:05).
9. Rika Tatsumi Vs Shoko Nakajima ended in a Time Limit Draw (7:00).
10. Miyu Yamashita Vs Mizuki ended in a Time Limit Draw (7:00).
11. Miu Watanabe & Yuki Arai Vs Suzume & Wakana Uehara ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).

The holiday season has begun and Tokyo Joshi Pro had an early Christmas show to get everyone ready for next week’s year end party and Korakuen Hall the week after that. The matches here were only the appetizer and purposely had short time limits which resulted in a couple of draws in the latter half of the show. Suzume brought that up after the main event by telling Yuki Arai she knows neither of them were able to give it their all with just a short amount of time. Arai agreed and told Suzume they when they fight for the International Princess Title on 4th January they will leave the ring with no regrets.

Miu Watanabe also talked about the main event going by like a flash because it only lasted ten minutes. She also wanted Arai to call her a princess because that thing is still bothering her. Arai said Watanabe is a princess and that means she is one too. Watanabe was happy with the answer because Arai is not a liar. Suzume thanked Wakana Uehara for teaming with her as a last minute replacement for Arisu Endo. Uehara said the match made her even more excited for 4th January and she’ll do her best on the show no matter what match she gets there.

The TJPW debut of Matcha went off to a good start. She is here to get the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title back from Pom Harajuku and she pinned her in the preview tag match. She said she will use this momentum to get her championship back at Korakuen. Harajuku has started to panic over the result and doesn’t know what to do once the title match on 29th December comes round.

Hyper Misao congratulated Haru Kazashiro on winning the Next Generation Tournament and her upcoming Princess Tag Team Titles shot. However she was taken aback when Kazashiro told her she is going to stop looking up to her! Misao tried to changer her mind by giving her the spray can as a Christmas gift but Kazashiro turned it down because the hero she admires would never do something like that. Misao attacked her in anger to start the match, grabbed the spray and used it. However she missed Kazashiro and blinded the referee instead! Kazashiro hit Misao with the Low Cross Body but the referee was too blind to see the pin. That allowed Misao to turn the tables and pin Kazashiro with a Gedo Clutch in time for the ref’s vision to clear up and count to three.

The Inari Torii Aratame is a lifted version of Chika Nanase’s submission finisher. She used it to beat Uta Takami, who is definitely small enough to be given a move like that.

It was announced that “GO GIRL 5” will be one of two TJPW shows taking place in Kitazawa Town Hall on 1st March. That is the show that takes place in front of a woman-only audience.

Ittenyon Press Conference

December 17, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’25”, 04/01/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
2. Yuka Sakazaki & Moka Miyamoto Vs Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro
3. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Suzume
4. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Vs Masha Slamovich & Zara Zakher
5. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Mizuki

A press conference was held yesterday for the contract signings of two of the title matches happening in Korakuen Hall on 4th January. Miu Watanabe and Mizuki’s battle over the Princess Of Princess Title is centered around their argument over who is the princess and who is the monster? Mizuki hasn’t held the Princess Title since 2023 so she is carrying a lot of different feelings going into the match. She has always been a true princess since the day she was born. Watanabe can call herself a princess but she is also a monster. The feeling is mutual because Watanabe is now saying Mizuki is the monster, not her!

Watanabe let everyone know that when she signed the contract for her Princess Title Match against Miyu Yamashita earlier this year her hand was shaking with nerves. Today however she signed the contract with confidence which shows how much she has grown as the champion. She knows how creating buzz leads to more exposure so she wants this to be a match that will catch everyone’s attention, which is why she gave Mizuki the Giant Swing on the ring apron over the weekend. She always wanted to be a princess because they have strong hearts. A princess is not a supporting character, she is meant to be the main character. That’s why she is trying to become the strongest princess.

Mizuki also said it is reassuring to have Yuka Sakazaki at the show. She feels Sakazaki really wants to keep an eye on Tokyo Joshi Pro while working hard on her own. It encourages Mizuki to shine a light just as bright as Sakazaki and Watanabe. She also explained she originally called Watanabe a monster as a compliment to her abilities but now Watanabe really is acting like a scary monster like in Beauty & The Beast! Watanabe then argued she is not the Beast, she is Belle! By the time Mizuki started accusing her of “princess harrassment” their section of the press conference came to an end.

Suzume is the latest wrestler from the 1998 Class to challenge Yuki Arai for the International Princess Title. She thinks the defences Arai had against Arisu Endo and Moka Miyamoto were amazing matches that made her feel left out. So when she got to wrestle in Seattle last month she took in the entire experience to broaden her perspective. It reminded her there are people from all over the world who support TJPW and it makes her want to spread the love even further. The best way to do that is win the IP Title. Arai has had a fulfilling title reign but the one thing missing from it is she hasn’t gotten to wrestle outside of Japan yet. She feels that she cannot lose the title to Suzume, not when she has her SKE48 graduation coming up at the en of March.

They both think of each other as rivals. Suzume joked about Arai being her senpai because Arai originally got into wrestling before her. However Arai thinks Suzume is the senpai because her way of wrestling is very straightforward, which Arai is envious of. She’s an opponent that can get Arai really fired up to fight. Suzume has been cultivating the skills over time to fight against bigger opponents so she is not worried about having a size disadvantage. She’s grown physically and mentally since their last singles match from the Tokyo Princess Cup. Arai is confident she will earn another successful title defence in her record breaking reign but she knows she will have to be careful to get it done.

TJPW Rush! Princess Vs Monster But Which Is Which? Arai Commits To Pro Wrestling

December 3, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WINTER STORY”, 14/12/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Ivy Steele Vs X

The British exchange student Ivy Steele makes her Tokyo Joshi Pro debut later this month. She is studying in Japan and training in the TJPW dojo while she is over there. She’s been wrestling in the UK since 2018 and it’s always been her dream to wrestle in Japan. So much so that she took part in TJPW’s trainee audition during the Autumn which is how she got to be part of the company now.

Yeah so Pom Harajuku has a championship now and I still don’t know what to make of it. She won the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title in Thailand a few days ago. I think she is going to be on this show so that means it will be her first TJPW appearance since winning the title.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW YEAR-END PARTY 2024”, 29/12/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. TJPW RUSH! Year End Special Red And White Team 5 Vs 5 Knockout Match: Shoko Nakajima, X, X, X & X Vs Mizuki, X, X, X & X
Other Participants: Suzume, Arisu Endo, Moka Miyamoto, Yoshiko Hasegawa, Haru Kazashiro, Toga, Shino Suzuki and Uta Takami
2. Queen Of Asia Title & VPW Women’s Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c/c) Vs Lei Ying Lee
3. I Hope There Will Be Lots Of Fun And Exciting Things Next Year! New Year’s Japanese Pro Wrestling! 20 Wrestler PRINCESS RUMBLE 2024: X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X

The Princess Rumble is the main event and will be the final TJPW match of 2024. Surely there is going to be a lot of double booking on this show because I cannot see Tetsuya Koda wanting to book over 30 people for this event for only a few minutes of work in the ring, even at this time of year.

A familiar TJPW match stipulation is getting a makeover for the holidays. A 5 Vs 5 Gauntlet Match will be held with Shoko Nakajima captaining the Red Team and Mizuki in charge of the White Team. Every match in the Gauntlet has a 5 minute time limit and can be won with a 2 Count Pinfall. If a match ends in a time limit draw then it will restart with 1 Count Sudden Death Rules with no time limit. The two captains will choose their teams through a lottery soon.

Yuki Arai will be on the show. Speaking of which…

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’25”, 04/01/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
2. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Suzume
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Mizuki

Actually first let’s talk about the 4th January main event. Miu Watanabe’s first run as the Princess Of Princess Champion has gone great. The best way to book a champion’s first reign is to feed them a bunch of previous champions to further establish them as a main eventer and that’s what was done here. There were also a few international challengers on the side which is a good way to build up a champion domestically as well. Watanabe has the second most title defences in a single reign and Mizuki is the only former champion still with the company who now stands in her way. Mizuki says by beating so many monsters, Watanabe has now become the monster everyone else needs to be. Watanabe doesn’t accept that logic. She is still the princess who defeats the monster, not the other way around.

Okay let’s get to the Yuki Arai news. Last week she announced her decision to graduate from SKE48. She will be leaving the idol group on 31st March next year. Today she put out another announcement, this time about her pro wrestling career. She ain’t leaving! While her SKE48 days are coming to an end, she has decided to fully commit as a pro wrestler and continue working with TJPW! She will continue to be managed by Zest, which just so happens to be SKE48’s talent agency. By the sounds of it, pro wrestling is going to be Arai’s full time career going forward next year.

It’s the sixth annual Ittenyon match between Kyoraku Kyomei! Ever since 2020 Shoko Nakajima and Hyper Misao have had a singles match against each other at Korakuen Hall on 4th January. Usually there is a wacky match stipulation involved and in the early years the loser would change their name and gimmick for a month. However ever since the Max Heart Tournament was created, Kyoraku Kyomei instead use the match to prepare themselves for the tournament. They have yet to win the tournament but everybody likes the tradition. Nakajima currently has a 4-2 record against Misao in the series. If you noticed the numbers don’t add up properly that’s because one year the both of them were declared winners instead of their match being called a draw.

7. Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Kazuki Hirata

The growing grudge between Yuki Ueno and Kazuki Hirata over the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title will come to a head with a singles match now booked for next month. Ueno keeps winning the Iron Man Title from Hirata and Hirata keeps attacking Ueno with a hammer to win it back. Right now the belt is not on either of them but the grudge still needs to be settled so they can both have clear heads going into Sumo Hall. Well, I’m not sure how clear a head can get when you smash one with a hammer but I’ll let them worry about that.

“The Black Sheep” Carnatux from Bahrain contacted Daisuke Kiso this week telling them he is moving to Japan in December. One of the reasons he is travelling over is to become the first wrestler from the Persian Gulf region to wrestle in DDT! He has spent his career wrestling across the Middle East.

To-y and Koroku’s second match against each other is happening in Osaka.

2. Queen Of Asia Title & VPW Women’s Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c/c) Vs Lei Ying Lee

The Asian Double Crown match that was meant to happen between Yuki Kamifuku and Xia Zhao in October will now take place at Tokyo Joshi Pro’s last show of the year. Zhao is now wrestling under the name Lei Ying Lee and she just recently signed a new deal with TNA. Kamifuku is now upset she will spend the end of her year worrying about a big title match where she’ll have to fight the opponent by herself.

TJPW is ending the year with their own Royal Rumble with 20 participants taking part. There will be a new entrant every 90 seconds and elimination will be by pinfall, submission or throwing someone over the top rope to the floor below. There will be guest wrestlers involved as well as the usual TJPW roster with names to be announced soon.

Yuki Arai will be on the show. She made a big announcement today that she will be graduating from SKE48 on 31st March next year. Nothing was said in regards to her wrestling career so we have to wait and see where her future lies. Will she be graduating from TJPW too next year or does this mean she’s going give her full commitment to wrestling in 2025?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW 11TH BIRTHDAY”, 01/12/2024
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX

1. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi Vs Kaya Toribami Vs Chika Nanase
2. Moka Miyamoto Vs Kira Summer
3. Hyper Misao & Haruna Neko Vs Mahiro Kiryu & HIMAWARI
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino
5. Miu Watanabe, Raku, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami Vs Mizuki, Suzume, Arisu Endo & Yoshiko Hasegawa
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Vs Haru Kazashiro & Toga

This is the second time in a row the two finalists of the Next Generation Tournament are teaming up for a Princess Tag Team Titles shot. This time it’s the tournament prize for the winner. Haru Kazashiro beat Toga in the final to earn a title shot of her choice. She picked the Tag Titles because Maki Itoh is who she looks up to most and she’s aiming to take the title from her. She then asked Toga to be her partner for the match. Funnily enough, Toga was going to make the same choice for a similar reason because she wants to fight Miyu Yamashita for a championship. So it all conveniently works out for everyone!

Pom Harajuku is not on the show because she will be wrestling in Thailand that weekend.

BASARA “BASARA 264 ~KOO~”, 13/12/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Daichi Kazato & Lil’ Kraken Vs Ayato Yoshida & Kazumasa Yoshida

Once again Ayato Yoshida comes to BASARA and finds himself dealing with Daichi Kazato whether he wants to or not. His teammate here Kazumasa Yoshida is from Big Japan.

DDT “NEVER MIND 2024”, 22/12/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Super Sasadango Machine
2. Special Single Match: Tomohiro Ishii Vs Yuki Iino

Apparently Ueno has been wanting a singles match with Super Sasadango Machine for a while.

GANBARE☆PRO “SOME DAY THE SUN WILL SHINE 2024”, 27/12/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Kitsune World Title: Yuna Manase (c) Vs MICHIKO
2. Special Single Match: Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Dick Togo
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Yumehito Imanari

An impromptu No. 1 Contenders match on the last Ganbare☆Pro show is what leads to Yumehito Imanari getting his chance to fight Keisuke Ishii for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title. He beat Shuichiro Katsumura to do it. But while Katsumura is out of the title picture for now he is still getting an important match at the end of the year. Ishii encouraged him to go challenge Dick Togo to a match! Katsumura’s link to Togo is a very minor one but it is a story he told Ishii over drinks one night. Back when Katsumura was in high school he visited the Universal Lucha Libre dojo wanting to join it. He didn’t have the courage to go through with the plan but he remembers seeing a trainee walk past him into the building. That trainee was Togo! So this match 30 years in the making must be fate for Katsumura.

Over the weekend at a GLEAT show, MICHIKO pinned Yuna Manase in a 6-Man Tag Match and challenged her afterwards for the Kitsune World Title. Manase accepted the challenge and convinced Kitsune to let the title match take place in GanPro.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’25”, 04/01/2025

The complete card with consist of around 9 or 10 matches.

“SANSHIRO TAKAGI 30TH ANNIVERSARY COMMEMERATION EVENT ~ NEVER SAY NEVER”, 03/02/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Tag Match: Dump Matsumoto & Toru Owashi Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei

In an odd move Sanshiro Takagi is deciding not to use DDT for his 30th Anniversary show next year. Instead he wants to rely solely on his decades worth of connections across the Japanese scene to come up with a wrestling show filled with matches you won’t believe. Matches like Dump Matsumoto & Toru Owashi Vs The Brahman Brothers. Nobody under a full contract with DDT will be booked for the show. Takagi himself is unlikely to wrestle either unless he unexpectedly gets medically cleared in time.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 AUTUMN” Results

November 22, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 AUTUMN”, 22/11/2024
Shinjuku FACE
429 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami defeated Wakana Uehara, Kira Shummer & Chika Nanase when HIMAWARI submitted Nanase with the Half Crab Hold (8:56).
2. 3 Way Match: Pom Harajuku defeated Haruna Neko and Mahiro Kiryu when Harajuku pinned Neko and Kiryu with a Double Body Press (5:42).
3. Zara Zakher & Yuki Aino defeated Mizuki & Kaya Toribami when Zakher pinned Toribami with the Control Z (9:34).
4. Miu Watanabe, Raku, Suzume & Moka Miyamoto defeated Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh, Yuki Kamifuku & Yoshiko Hasegawa when Suzume pinned Hasegawa with the Ring A Bell (11:10).
5. Rika Tatsumi & Arisu Endo defeated Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao when Tatsumi submitted Misao with the White Dragon Sleeper (15:34).
6. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Final: Haru Kazashiro defeated Toga with the Fisherman Suplex (8:49).
7. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) defeated Shazza McKenzie with the Finally (11:01).
*V6 for Yuki Arai.

That’s successful defence number six for Yuki Arai. The closest Shazza McKenzie could get to beating her was with a Fisherman Suplex that Arai kicked out of. Arai took control from there and used the Full Nelson Buster to set up the match winning Finally. Arai used broken English to tell McKenzie she would like another match with her. But for now she needs a new challenger to continue her record breaking International Princess Title reign. Suzume answered the call and said she wants a match with the dazzling champion. Arai got excited because she hasn’t defended the belt against Suzume yet so she suggested they can have the match at Korakuen Hall on 4th January. That means it will happen exactly one year after she became champion in the same venue! Suzume later explained that pro wrestling is a universal language. For example she doesn’t speak English at all but was still able to wrestle in Seattle recently. If Tokyo Joshi Pro can reach out across the world then she wants to do that as the IP Champion.

The youngest entrant in this year’s New Generation Tournament has won the whole thing! Haru Kazashiro pulled off the upset in the final by defeating Toga. She had Toga scouted by using an Armbar to counter the Rock Bottom. Toga hit back with the Rolling Thunder but Kazashiro was determined not to lose. Both tried to use their finishers to no avail but Kazashiro broke the deadlock by hitting a Low Cross Body. From there she was able to pin Toga with the Fisherman Suplex and win the tournament!

After receiving her winner’s medal, Kazashiro was ready to pick her title shot of choice for being the tournament champion. She always admired Maki Itoh and wants nothing more than to challenge her for a belt so she asked Toga if they can team up to fight 121000000 for the Princess Tag Team Titles! Toga accepted the offer and shook her hand. 121000000 then entered the ring to endorse the challenge. Itoh warned Kazashiro not to fight her as a fan but to beat her as a rival. Hazashiro promised she will crush her! Toga then revealed if she had won the tournament she would have wanted to go after Miyu Yamashita’s championship so she is getting what she wants anyway. Yamashita said she likes the look in Toga’s eyes and decided they should have the title match on 1st December.

For the first time in seven months Hyper Misao was here to protect TJPW for all of the big children who follow it. Before her comeback match began she told the fans how difficult it was to return. She not only had a broken ankle but also a broken heart from having to stay away from the ring for so long. But she kept an eye on TJPW from a distance and what she saw made her want to come back no matter what. She was really happy to be in the ring with Shoko Nakajima and Rika Tatsumi again (and Arisu Endo is there too) so she thought the best way to begin with a fresh start was to shake her opponents’ hands fair and square. Of course that turned out to be a trick so Kyoraku Kyomei could get the jump on Tatsumi & Endo. However Tatsumi was able to get Misao in the White Dragon Sleeper at the end to make her give up. Misao is not going to be pessimistic about her comeback ending in a loss though. She is looking forward to fighting and winning again. Nakajima didn’t mind losing either because whenever Ultraman Leo is defeated, he trains like crazy to get stronger and returns to beat the enemy! She wants to win the Tag Titles so the team will improve to become Super Hyper Kyoraku Kyomei! Meanwhile Tatsumi & Endo are wondering when Misao will produce another “HYPE!” show?

Pom Harajuku had special celebratory sashes made for herself and Haruna Neko to celebrate the 6th anniversary of their wrestling debuts. She also took advantage of Mahiro Kiryu giving Neko the Spinebuster by hooking both of their legs and pinning them for a double three count victory.

TJPW’s three annual big arena shows will all take place at the renovated Ota Ward Gymnasium in 2025. “GRAND PRINCESS ’25” will be on 16th March, “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” will be on 21st July and “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI” will be on 20th September.

Shunma Injured, KO-D Tag Titles Vacated

November 21, 2024

DDT have announced that Shunma Katsumata’s left knee injury was diagnosed as a torn ACL. He will be out of action for a while which means ShunMao have today relinquished the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Katsumata wanted to believe his injury was only minor and he would have been able to defend the titles with MAO this weekend because he feels fine. However his doctor says otherwise and he has to take time off to recover. He apologized to Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku for getting the title match cancelled. Since his most recent match was against Endo, Katsumata would like to face him in a rematch when he returns. The news is even more frustrating because this is the second time in a row where ShunMao’s tag title reign is ending early because Katsumata got injured. They had to vacate the titles in Spring 2023 when Katsumata broke his foot.

With the KO-D Tag Titles match called off, this weekend’s Korakuen Hall show has a few changes to the card. The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match is now moved up to the main event. Yuki Ueno & To-y are taken out of their matches so The 37KAMIINA can team up for a 6-Man Tag against BURNING. Ueno is currently the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion after he in full gear attacked Kazuki Hirata outdoors during a cold snowy night this week. That also means Hirata now only has to fight against 6 wrestlers instead of 7 for his birthday match. Munetatsu Nakamura is brought in to take To-y’s place in the opener.

Pom-chan Army: Pom Harajuku, Mahiro Kiryu, Haruna Neko, Kaya Toribami, Toga, Kira Summer, Uta Takami and Yoshiko Hasegawa

Back in Japan all of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster that did not go on the trip to America took part in a team challenge with Raku and Pom Harajuku as the two captains. After drafting their teams, Raku and Harajuku then wrote up an order lineup for their team to secretly determine who will face who on the card. It led to such things like Harajuku having to fight Ryo Mizunami in a singles match while Raku & Ram Kaichow got to continue their married couple tag team gimmick.

By the end of the show the final score was a 3-3 tie. Since the show was sponsored by Yamada Suisan and they were rewarding 10kg of grilled unagi to the winning team, Sayrui Namba revealed there would be a sudden death decision match between Raku and Harajuku. The match also had a One Count Fall rule so it only took half a minute for Raku to pin Harajuku to win the prize for her team. In her victory speech Raku said she is impressed with how much TJPW has grown that they can now run shows in Japan and America on the same day. She wants the message that TJPW is fun to spread out so far that even aliens will know about it.

Today is Yuki Arai’s 11th anniversary of her debut as an idol with SKE48. She said she had a great day because she worked hard for Raku and the grilled unagi.

As mentioned on the Seattle show earlier, TJPW will be in Las Vegas with The Collective for Wrestlemania Week on 18th April, 2025. They will be at the Pearl Theater in Palms Casino Resort and promise it will be TJPW’s biggest show in America yet!

6. Kiranah Garden Toyosu First Opening Commemoration! Special Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & MAO Vs Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA

The main event for this show now has wrestlers swapping teams. Shinya Aoki and Chris Brookes were originally booked to team up but that is changing after Brookes challenged Aoki for the KO-D Openweight Title. So now Aoki is teaming with MAO which means the KO-D Champion and DDT Universal Champion are fighting on the same side. Brookes will be jumping over to the other side of the ring to team with one of the recent previous challengers HARASHIMA.

But this day next week Astronauts will be back in BASARA to defend the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles against Speed Of Sounds. The challengers SOS are fighting to become three time Iron Fist Tag Champions.

Masato Kamino wants to change his focus from tag team wrestling to the singles division. He’s getting a big opponent from Big Japan, the one and only Daisuke Sekimoto!

DDT “CHARISMANIA”, 06/11/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Demus, Ilusion & Anarko Montaña Vs Kaito Ishida, Shunma Katsumata & Diego

5. KUBITO & Naohiro Katsumi 19th Anniversary Match: KUBITO Vs Naohiro Katsumi
6. The Greatest Wrestling Match Of CHARISMANIA: Daisuke Sasaki & Yuko Miyamoto Vs Dick Togo & Minoru Fujita

More matches from the mind of Daisuke Sasaki are becoming a reality. FIRE DAMNATION will be represented with the return of Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami to team with MJ Paul. One of their opponents is Daichi Sato, the teenager from HEAT-UP who was also on the short lived DDTeeeen!! shows a couple of years ago. That doesn’t sound threatening at all but Masashi Takeda as Sato’s partner will give that team a fighting chance against the heavyweights.

A battle will break out between Ram Kaichow and Brahman Shu! They have gone forth to gather soldiers under their respective banners and those soldiers may end up looking familiar to everyone in the venue.

Last but not least is an international 6-Man Tag Match where Demus & Ilusion are joined by Anarko Montaña on the DAMNATION T.A side. Facing them is the babyface trio of Kaito Ishida, Shunma Katsumata & Diego.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 AUTUMN”, 22/11/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Final: X Vs X
2. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Shazza McKenzie

Next month Shazza McKenzie will be wrestling in Japan for the first time ever. She has two dates booked with Tokyo Joshi Pro during this tour. The first is on 16th November but the big match on her calender is happening a week later. She is the latest challenger for Yuki Arai to defend the International Princess Title against. The Australian has appeared in TJPW before but that was for the joint show with Prestige in America last year.

DDT “GET ALIVE 2024”, 23/11/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Akito 15th Anniversary Debut Special Single Match: Isami Kodaka Vs Akito
2. DDT Extreme Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Danshoku Dieno (c/c) Vs Yuni

Akito wanted a special opponent for a match that will celebrate the 15th Anniversary of his debut. When Akito wrestled as a freelancer in Tokyo, Isami Kodaka became a close companion of his. They worked, drank and studied wrestling together. Kodaka was also a big influence for the kind of pro wrestler Akito developed into. Akito credits Kodaka for helping him create the IPPON Lighttube Death Match. However they rarely have the chance to wrestle each other because they are so busy with their jobs in DDT and BASARA respectively. So for Akito’s 15th Anniversary he wants to finally get in the ring with Kodaka again so they can reminisce about old memories while also fighting with the passion from those times.
