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.

DDT/TOKYO JOSHI PRO/DEFY “TRIANGLER DTD” Results

November 11, 2024

DDT/TOKYO JOSHI PRO/DEFY “TRIANGLER DTD”, 10/11/2024
Washington Hall, Seattle, Washington, USA
389 Fans

1. Vert Vixen, Yuki Kamifuku & Moka Miyamoto defeated Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Aino & Arisu Endo when Vixen pinned Endo with a Sit Down Power Bomb (8:38).
2. Bryan Keith defeated Shota with the Diamond Dust (7:59).
3. Maki Itoh & Zara Zakher defeated Amira & Danika Della Rouge when Itoh pinned Rouge with the I.S.D (8:41).
4. Daisuke Sasaki & Kohei Kinoshita Vs Danshoku Dieno & Randy Myers ended in a No Contest (9:32).
5. Miu Watanabe & Suzume defeated Mizuki & Wakana Uehara when Watanabe pinned Uehara with the Tear Drop (10:33).
6. DEFY Women’s Title: Marina Shafir (c) defeated Shoko Nakajima with the Mother’s Milk (14:08).
*V4 for Marina Shafir.
7. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA defeated Yuni with the Wagamama (12:14).
8. DDT Universal Title – 3 Way Match: Gringo Loco defeated Miyu Yamashita (c) and Nick Wayne when Loco pinned Yamashita with the Base Bomb (17:08).
*Miyu Yamashita fails in V1. Gringo Loco becomes the 16th DDT Universal Champion.
9. Special Tag Match: Judas Icarus & Travis Williams defeated MAO & Mike Bailey when Icarus pinned Bailey after the Sudden Silence (22:06).

The Seattle weekender came to an end with DDT, Tokyo Joshi Pro and DEFY all getting together for one big finale. The Moonlight Express were back together as a tag team after being opponents yesterday. Sadly for them their reunion was spoiled by Sinner & Saint. The DEFY team came out on top and think it won’t be the last time you’ll see them in DDT. Afterwards backstage MAO asked Mike Bailey when will he wrestle for DDT in Japan again because the last time he came back to the country it was for another company. Bailey doesn’t know but The Moonlight Express would like to team up in Japan one more time.

Easy come, easy go. Miyu Yamashita’s surprising reign as the DDT Universal Champion has already come to an end when her decision to compete in another 3 Way championship match this weekend blew up in her face. She was able to knock Nick Wayne out of the way with the Skull Kick but still had Gringo Loco to deal with. Loco gave her the Fire Thunder and pinned her with the Base Bomb to become the new Universal Champion! Loco said he is on top of the world and nobody can stop the wave he is riding on. Wayne hates that he lose but also called Yamashita the best joshi in the world and Loco the best luchador. He wants to come back to DDT and win the Universal Title. Yamashita was so shocked over the loss she didn’t give any post-match comments.

The teacher Konosuke Takeshita gave his student Yuni a big test today. Yuni had to fight him one on one to show how much he has grown since their last match together. Yuni gave it his best shot including doing a Dragonrana to Takeshita outside the ring. Takeshita ended up winning and told Yuni to go find a style of wrestling that only he can show to everyone else. When he finds it, the KO-D Openweight Title will be in his reach!

Shoko Nakajima put up a strong challenge for Marina Shafir on short notice but wasn’t able to win the DEFY Women’s Title from her. Shafir said Nakajima will never understand the sacrifices that were made for her to keep this title and she plans to retire undefeated as the champion. Nakajima calls Shafir a monster fighter and she hopes to get a rematch some day.

Miu Watanabe is happy she gets to leave Seattle with some happy memories. After being beaten by Zara Zakher yesterday, Watanabe was able to get a win today with Suzume on her side. Their opponents Mizuki & Wakana Uehara also had a fun time despite losing.

Match #4 was thrown out thanks to the lewd antics of Danshoku Dieno, Randy Myers and also Yoshihiko. Actually it wasn’t just them because Kohei Kinoshita joined in on their shenanigans too much to Daisuke Sasaki’s dismay. Sasaki wants to know why Kinoshita came all the way to Seattle to do even worse things than what he does in Japan? Sasaki will challenge them all to a 3-on-1 Handicap match if he has to get revenge that way!

At least Maki Itoh can say her weekend was all highs with no lows. She teamed up with Zakher and had their hands raised in victory. Zakher wants to continue the momentum when she travels to Japan next week. She plans to bring the Princess Of Princess Title back to America with her. Meanwhile Danika Della Rouge blamed Amira for losing the match and swears she will never team with her again.

It’s been around seven months since Shota went freelance and he admits he’s been struggling to break out. He lost to his friend Bryan Keith today after they weren’t on the same page as a team the day before. He hopes the ass kicking he took today will help motivate him from now on. Keith warned Shota not to go about making him his enemy. He also misses DDT and believes it is only a matter of time before he goes back there to hunt for gold.

Unusual trios were the name of the game for the opening match. Yuki Kamifuku didn’t know what to expect teaming up with Vert Vixen & Moka Miyamoto but they pulled out the win in the end. The other team however were in a bad mood for losing. Arisu Endo is frustrated she took the fall, Yuki Aino felt like she didn’t give it her all and Rika Tatsumi is mad her win rate in America is so bad!

Full Card For Triangler DTD

November 10, 2024

DDT/TOKYO JOSHI PRO/DEFY “TRIANGLER DTD”, 10/11/2024
Washington Hall, Seattle, Washington, USA

1. Maki Itoh & Zara Zakher Vs Amira & Danika Della Rouge
2. Bryan Keith Vs Shota
3. Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Aino & Arisu Endo Vs Vert Vixen, Yuki Kamifuku & Moka Miyamoto
4. Miu Watanabe & Suzume Vs Mizuki & Wakana Uehara
5. Daisuke Sasaki & Kohei Kinoshita Vs Danshoku Dieno & Randy Myers
6. Special Tag Match: MAO & Mike Bailey Vs Judas Icarus & Travis Williams
7. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Yuni
8. DEFY Women’s Title: Marina Shafir (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima
9. DDT Universal Title – 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Nick Wayne Vs Gringo Loco

The busy weekend comes to a close. DDT, Tokyo Joshi Pro and DEFY all join forces to end their series of shows with a bang. Miyu Yamashita is the brand new DDT Universal Champion but she’s taking a big gamble putting the belt on the line on short notice against both Nick Wayne and Gringo Loco. Also Shoko Nakajima shows how brave she is by challenging the seemingly unstoppable Marina Shafir for the DEFY Women’s Title.

Friend might become enemies when Bryan Keith faces Shota based on their tag team falling apart yesterday. Keith doesn’t want to bring out the new side of him that could put his buddy in danger but differences between them need to be settled somehow. Meanwhile Danshoku Dieno & Randy Myers have gone the other way as opponents becoming a tag team. If that’s not enough then what a sight it will be to have Maki Itoh and Zara Zakher teaming up together.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW BRIGHT EYES” Results

November 10, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW BRIGHT EYES”, 09/11/2024
Washington Hall, Seattle, Washington, USA
405 Fans

1. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Rika Tatsumi & Amira when Suzume pinned Amira with the Ring A Bell (10:21).
2. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Wakana Uehara with the Famouser (7:19).
3. Rebel Kel defeated Moka Miyamoto with a Falcon Arrow (5:45).
4. Mizuki defeated Liiza Hall with the Diving Foot Stomp (11:07).
5. Yuki Aino & Zara Zakher defeated Miu Watanabe & Shoko Nakajima when Zakher pinned Watanabe with the Control Z (16:43).
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) defeated Vert Vixen & Nicole Matthews when Yamashita pinned Matthews with the Skull Kick (24:05).
*V1 for 121000000.

A packed weekend in Seattle began with Tokyo Joshi Pro running their own show with a little help from DEFY. The main event was a familiar scenario for 121000000. They have travelled to America with their newly won Princess Tag Team Titles and do not want a repeat of their last reign that ended in America on their first defence. The odds were better in their favour this time because the challengers Vert Vixen & Nicole Matthews were not a finely tuned tag team like The Magical Sugar Rabbits were. Even with out of the ring brawling and a few mishaps along the way, Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh stayed on the same page, headbutting each other to fire themselves up before beating their opponents.

The champions celebrated with Yamashita thanking the fans while Itoh asked them who is the cutest in the world? Yamashita then invited the entire locker room down to the ring to close out the show with one big group get together. She also announced TJPW’s next US appearance will be in April. TJPW later confirmed the next USA show is at Las Vegas on 18th April for The Collective during Wrestlemania Week.

Backstage Vixen & Matthews blamed each other for losing and argued over cheating (Matthews wanted to cheat more, Vixen prefers to fight clean). Itoh said it would have been traumatic for her if they lost the titles in America again but she won so she’s already forgotten about the last time it happened. Yamashita told her it was because they believed in each other. She also reminded her the goal for this reign is to defend the belts 10 times or else 121000000 will disband. Yamashita also said if she wins the DDT Universal Title at the DDT show tonight she wants to give Itoh a title shot.

Newly signed under the WWE ID initiative, Zara Zakher sure is looking like the belle of the ball right now. An end to a good week has gone even better after she scored a pinfall over Miu Watanabe before their Princess Of Princess Title match back in Japan next week. Shoko Nakajima tried to hold off Zakher as best as she could but Yuki Aino proved to be a good counter for her. Aino gave Watanabe a Running Bulldog while Zakher took out Nakajima with a Spinebuster. She then backflipped past Watanabe and gave her an RKO before pinning her with the Control Z. Watanabe is wondering if she became too overwhelmed by the Seattle fans or if she has become weak. She promised not to lose the title to Zakher on 16th November.

Most of the undercard pitted TJPW against North America. Mizuki beat Liiza Hall in a close fought battle. The Casadora into a Double Stomp left Hall as a sitting duck for the proper Diving Foot Stomp to finish her off. Mizuki likes Hall’s fighting style and gets a happy vibe from her. That’s partly because it was Hall’s first DEFY match in over a year.

Moka Miyamoto lost to Rebel Kel. As much as Miyamoto was excited to wrestle in Seattle, Kel was too full of adrenaline to be stopped by Miyamoto’s Karate skills. The size difference played a part too. Kel was too tall for Miyamoto to use the Rashomon on so Kel powered out of it and pinned Miyamoto with a Falcon Arrow.

The recent success of Yuki Kamifuku is being recognized worldwide because the fans chanted “Queen Of Asia” at her while she fought Wakana Uehara. After winning the match Kamifuku wrapped Uehara’s long hair around her hand and led her away backstage just to add insult to injury. Kamifuku said she is overwhelmed that the fans knew about her wrestling exploits in Southeast Asia and hopes today’s match will inspire Uehara to try doing something in America.

Daisy Monkey defeated Rika Tatsumi & Amira to open up the show. Amira could have pinned Suzume with a Fisherman Suplex but Arisu Endo broke the pin. Daisy Monkey then outmaneuvered their opponents, leading them into a Falling Facecrusher and Mt. Tsuruga double spot. Suzume then pinned Amira with the Ring A Bell. They were happy with the support they got from fans and want to come back.

Osaka 176BOX

1. Moeka Haruhi & Yuna Manase Vs HARUKAZE & YuuRI

8. KO-D Openweight Title – Houset Co., Ltd Presents: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs Chris Brookes

Thought we were all clear from Shinya Aoki’s threats to fight Katsuhiko Nakajima somewhere down the line? Not so fast! Aoki held a short interview with Tokyo Sports today where he said his goal is to hold onto the KO-D Openweight Title long enough that he will still be the champion when he has a grappling match in ONE FC this December. Aoki cannot believe he got a fight in ONE scheduled before he got a booking in GLEAT. He then started rambling about Nakajima and asking why he hasn’t been in the news lately?

Miyu Yamashita’s involvement in the DEFY weekend is resulting in some creative matchups. She was already announced as one of MAO’s opponents in the DDT Universal Title match and now we know the other opponent is Mike Bailey! Yamashita could be at a disadvantage if The Moonlight Express decided to use the numbers game against her.

This is not the full card. Both Nick Wayne and Marina Shafir have been announced for the show and do not have their matches announced yet.

Masahiro Takanashi is chosen to face Soma Takao for the World Omori Title. There is also going to be a Battle Royal to determine next year’s No. 1 Contender.

The full force of BURNING must meet the power of Chikara head on! No one shall be spared.

DDT/TOKYO JOSHI PRO/DEFY “TRIANGLER DTD”, 10/11/2024
Washington Hall, Seattle, Washington, USA

1. Special Single Match: Gringo Loco Vs Miyu Yamashita
2. Special Tag Match: MAO & Mike Bailey Vs Judas Icarus & Travis Williams
3. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Yuni

Come on Tony, give Yuni a shot at the AEW International Title. Do it for the sickos.

The Moonlight Express will team up proper at the end of the DEFY weekend for a tag match against Sinner & Saint.

I don’t know what kind of person would ever think up a Miyu Yamashita Vs Gringo Loco match but that’s some good booking right there.

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

1. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Final: X Vs X
2. Rika Tatsumi & Arisu Endo Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
3. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Shazza McKenzie

Big children rejoice for it’s the return of Hyper Misao to save the day! No better choice for her first match back from injury than to team up with Shoko Nakajima as Kyoraku Kyomei again. Rika Tatsumi will certainly welcome her back with a big hug that will suspiciously look a lot like a strangulation. Arisu Endo will probably stand to the side and give it a thumbs up.

Zara Zakher will be on the show.

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
3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku

BURNING have found themselves back in the front of the line for a KO-D Tag Team Titles shot. This time however Tetsuya Endo is teaming with Yuya Koroku instead of Yuki Iino. Koroku has a pinfall win over Shunma Katsumata and that interested MAO enough to accept his title challenge.

Everyone in the main event wants to get drunk tomorrow so DDT may as well make it part of the match.

Due to a strong request by Antonio Honda, he and Jun Akiyama will now face each other in a Tiger Cub Rope Death Match! They will be attached to each other by the wrist with a tiger rope and more importantly a tiger cub stuffed toy is hanging from the middle of the rope. It will be up to the wrestlers to protect the toy from their opponent or even use it as a weapon.

Recent shenanigans with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title has led to Kazuki Hirata now defending the title against former champion Danshoku Dieno.

The Right To Challenge Shield holders going into tomorrow’s show are Shunma Katsumata (Blue) and Soma Takao (White).

The KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Champions have to make a substitution for their next title defence. Takayuki Ueki is out of action with a dislocated shoulder so he is being replaced with Munetatsu Nakamura from Ganbare☆Pro.

6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Vs Vert Vixen & Nicole Matthews

This is the full card for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s collaboration with DEFY. The semi-main event is a preview for the next Princess Of Princess Title match as Miu Watanabe and Zara Zakher will be in opposite teams. Two new names from the North American scene will step foot into TJPW for the first time. Liiza Hall is from Canada and has nine years of experience. Rebel Kel has previously wrestled in Japan for Stardom near the end of the pre-Bushiroad era. Amira was on last December’s TJPW show with Prestige. She also teamed with Rika Tatsumi back then so they are already familiar with each other. But is that enough to take on Daisy Monkey?

Isami Kodaka already had one crack at winning the UWA World Tag Team Titles from Aijin Tag and failed. He convinced them to give him another go because this time he has an even more powerful tag partner, Hideyoshi Kamitani from Big Japan. Yesterday Kamitani became the first wrestler ever to hold both the BJW Strong World Heavyweight Title and the BJW Death Match Heavyweight Title at the same time so he’s now coming into the match as Big Japan’s Double Crown champ.

When 121000000 won the Princess Tag Team Titles the first time they lost it in America on their first defence. In order to make sure the second reign will succeed they are going to try this scenario again. This time instead of facing The Magical Sugar Rabbits in Los Angeles they are going to fight Vert Vixen & Nicole Matthews in Seattle. In the minds of the champions Vixen & Matthews are a makeshift team being put together to challenge them. However in DEFY they are two rivals attempting to put aside their differences in order to both become champions again.

Zara Zakher has been added to the show. Speaking of Zakher…

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP” Results

August 25, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 25/08/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
604 Fans

2. Pom Harajuku defeated Shino Suzuki with the Pom de Justice (4:28).
3. Mizuki & Haru Kazashiro defeated Mei Suruga & Uta Takami when Mizuki pinned Takami with the Cutie Special (8:49).
4. Shoko Nakajima defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Northern Lights Suplex (10:30).

6. Miu Watanabe, Yuki Arai, Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara, Toga & Kira Summer when Endo pinned Uehara with the Ju no Okite (16:26).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: Ryo Mizunami defeated Yuki Aino with the HOT LIMIT (13:47).

One of the busiest weekends of the year for Tokyo Joshi Pro wrapped up today with the finale of this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup tournament. While a small portion of the roster were off in England to run a show over in London, the majority of the crew remained in Tokyo for an eventful show at Korakuen Hall. The final was a fated meeting between the two wrestlers that make up Yukiniki. Back in January Yuki Aino and Ryo Mizunami won the Princess Tag Team Titles together and now here we are at the end of the summer where they had to fight each other for the Princess Cup. Aino tried to match Mizunami’s power by going for Shoulder Attacks, Side Suplexes, Venus DDT and the Full Nelson Of Love And Flame. But Mizunami relied on the Uranage to stay ahead and pinned Aino with the HOT LIMIT to win the tournament.

Mizunami told Aino after the match not to keep her head down for losing. She knows Aino always wanted a singles match against her and it finally happened today. The frustrated look on Aino’s face is a sign that she is getting stronger and it won’t end here with them. Aino said she will fight Mizunami again and she asked her for another match some day. Mizunami said she has high expectations for Aino from here on out. Aino then bowed to every side of Korakuen and left the ring. Backstage she talked to reporters about the fans supporting her and she’ll keep fighting so she can face Mizunami again.

Back in the ring Mizunami declared that Princess Aniki has been born! She called Miu Watanabe down to the ring and challenged her for the Princess Of Princess Title. Watanabe never thought the day would come and accepted the match. It will happen at “WRESTLE PRINCESS V” on 22nd September. She said she cannot give up a championship this important to TJPW. Mizunami closed out the show by telling the fans about how she was close to retirement five years ago. Then she got an offer to wrestle for AEW and that connection helped lead her over to TJPW where she won the Tag Titles with Aino. She’s now been wrestling for 17 years and it just goes to show you never know what will happen in life! She will treasure all of the chants for Aniki and can’t wait to see everyone at “WRESTLE PRINCESS V”.

All four current TJPW Champions teamed together for an 8-Woman Tag Match. The Princess Champion Watanabe was joined by Yuki Arai with the International Princess Title and also the Princess Tag Champions Daisy Monkey. Their opponents were the ragtag collection of Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara, Toga & Kira Summer. The finish came with Suzume diving onto everyone outside the ring leaving Arisu Endo to pin Uehara with the Ju no Okite.

The four champions celebrated their victory but as they all left the ring, Endo asked Arai to stay behind with her. Endo admits she is starting to feel greedy and wants to hold another championship before TJPW returns to her hometown of Aizuwakamatsu on 14th September. So she is challenging Arai for the International Title in Nagoya on the 8th! Arai is happy to accept the challenge because Endo was one of her opponents in her debut match three years ago and they have become good friends outside of the ring. Nagoya is also like a second home for Arai so she is determined not to lose her title there.

Zara Zakher’s final appearance for this tour with TJPW ends with her arms raised in victory. Rika Tatsumi tried to lull her into a false sense of security by calling her a friend in English but it was just to set up a sneak attack. Zakher fought back and along with Moka Miyamoto went on to beat Tatsumi & Kaya Toribami. Zakher even scored the pin on Toribami with the Control Z. She said she is grateful for TJPW letting her stay with them for so long and treating her as part of the team. She is already going to miss them and hopes to come back to Japan again.

One of the newsworthy announcements at the start of the show involves Yoshiko Hasegawa. The former member of Ganbare☆Pro went freelance earlier this year but revealed that from September onwards she will regularly wrestle on TJPW shows! So this match with Shoko Nakajima was kind of an early welcome into the TJPW family for her. Nakajima was able to win with the Northern Lights Suplex and thinks TJPW shows will heat up even more now that Hasegawa will be on the cards. Hasegawa calls Nakajima one of the best wrestlers in TJPW and she experienced first hand just how thick the walls are. There are a lot of people in TJPW she wants to fight and her goal is to win one of the championships here.

The Super Cute Sisters have been realised but they are not going to use that name after all! Mei Suruga & Uta Takami tried out being a tag team today after hitting it off so well as opponents last month. The two acted like brats for Mizuki & Haru Kazashiro to figure out how to handle. Mizuki ended up using high risk moves to great effect. Kazashiro even got ahead of Suruga by giving her the Fisherman Suplex. Mizuki then overwhelmed Takami with Elbow Strikes before pinning her with the Cutie Special. Kazashiro said the other team were a hundred times more crazy than she expected. Takami apologised to Suruga for losing but Suruga told her there was nothing to be upset about. She also knows Takami came up with a tag team name for them. Together they are… Apple Ice Cream? However Takami had second thoughts after saying it out loud so she will come up with a different name the next time they team up.

There was one thing Pom Harajuku wasn’t able to do this summer and that was attend an idol concert as a fan. She asked Shino Suzuki to perform one of her songs so she could cheer her on with penlights. However it was all a trap so Harajuku could ambush her and take control of the match. Later Harajuku told everyone there was something she wanted to shout out but Suzuki covered her mouth. Harajuku kicked her in the shin and hit the Pom de Justice to get the three count.

Beware of the Jelly Poison because that is the name of Runa Okubo’s new submission finisher! She used the Arm Clutch Half Crab Hold to make Chika Nanase give up in the opening match.

A few more matches were announced for “WRESTLE PRINCESS V”. Mizuki will team with Xia Zhao (the former Xia Li from WWE) to take on VENY & Yuki Kamifuku. It will be the first time VENYU have teamed together in a while. Shoko Nakajima will face Emi Sakura one on one. Sakura is somebody Nakajima says has been close with her ever since her debut. Back when TJPW hardly ran any shows Nakajima would go to Ichigaya to see Sakura. Aja Kong, Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku will team up for a 6-Woman Tag Match with Shiori Aoki from SKE48 as the special referee.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP” Results

August 23, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 23/08/2024
Shinjuku FACE
258 Fans

1. Wakana Uehara defeated Kira Summer with the Banana Pillow (7:51).
2. Rika Tatsumi defeated Chika Nanase with the Twist Of Fate (6:53).
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Runa Okubo defeated Mizuki & Pom Harajuku when Kamifuku pinned Harajuku with the Famouser (9:10).
4. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Shoko Nakajima & Uta Takami when Suzume pinned Takami with the Mikazuki Meteor Shower (11:33).
5. Miu Watanabe, Shino Suzuki & Haru Kazashiro defeated Moka Miyamoto, Kaya Toribami & Toga when Watanabe submitted Toga with the Reverse Paradox (9:58).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Yuki Aino defeated Zara Zakher with the UBV (8:14).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Ryo Mizunami defeated Yuki Arai with the HOT LIMIT (13:35).

Eight months ago Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino joined forces as Yukiniki and won the Princess Tag Team Titles. Their reign was short lived and the two went their separate ways since then. It is only fitting then that the next time their paths cross will be in the Tokyo Princess Cup final! Mizunami proved to be too high a wall for Yuki Arai to climb over in the semi final. The power of her Lariats and Spears did the damage needed to finish Arai off with the HOT LIMIT. Mizunami praised her opponent for being amazing and she will only get stronger. Backstage Arai was asked if they ever have a rematch would it be for the International Princess Title? Arai said if it does the belt belongs to her and she won’t give it away! For now though, Mizunami is giving all her attention because if she wins the final she can become Princess Aniki!

Aino fought fire with fire against Zara Zakher in the other semi final bout. When it became clear that the Control Z wasn’t going to work out, Zakher used a German Suplex and also went for the Firebird Splash. Aino moved out of the way though and caught her opponent in a Bulldog Headlock. She then lifted her up and dropped her with the UBV to advance to the final. At the end of the show Aino and Mizunami hyped each other up for the final on Sunday. Aino said she always wanted to face Mizunami one on one from the day they first met. They now get to have that match in the final on the greatest stage that is Korakuen Hall! Backstage Aino said Zakher has a great heart for wrestling along with destructive power. But it was Aino’s passion that was the difference between them. Zakher told reporters she is grateful to be here and is really glad she worked so hard.

GANBARE☆PRO “TOKOROZAWA PARK SHOPPING BOX OFFICE”, 07/09/2024

2. Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Yumehito Imanari Vs Mizuki Watase, Munetatsu Nakamura & Shota Kawakami
3. Keisuke Ishii Vs Yuji Nagata

Ishii is only a few months away from turning 40 years old so he asked Ganbare☆Pro to get him a big name opponent to mark the end of the final summer in his 30’s. They pulled off a big one because Ishii’s opponent is Yuji Nagata from New Japan! It is a non-title match but Ishii knows he cannot lose while he is the Spirit Of Ganbare Champion. The match is happening at an outdoor show at Tokorozawa Park Town so fingers crossed there will not be any bad weather on the day.

Last weekend Yuna Manase had a rocky trip to America that ended in joy. She was scheduled for two Kitsune shows but could only make the second date due to travel issues. However it all worked out for her in the end because she won her 3 Way Match and became the new Kitsune World Champion! This should be her first match back in GanPro since winning the title.

Any of the Right To Challenge Shield holders are welcome to use their cash in and be the challenger for that show as long as they still have their Shield by the time it takes place.
