I never would have thought a company as innocent as Tokyo Joshi Pro would dive head first into Las Vegas but here we are. The busiest week of the wrestling calendar has arrived and TJPW has one of the bigger shows going on in regards to big stakes for the important matches. All three championships belonging to the promotion will be on the line as the show is pretty much replacing the annual Golden Week event for this year. So if you’re new to the world of TJPW, an existing fan wanting to read up on everything or even a commentator looking for context beyond a Wikipedia page, this guide is intended for you!

Where and when are the shows taking place?

The two shows will be held at the Pearl Theater found inside Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. “TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS” is taking place on Friday, 18th April at 11am local time. “DDT VS TJPW VS GCW” is taking place on Saturday, 19th April at 2pm local time.

Where can I watch it online?

Both “TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS” and “DDT VS TJPW VS GCW” will air live on Triller TV with English commentary through the TrillerTV+ subscription service. The on-demand versions of both shows will be available to watch on Wrestle Universe a few weeks after the live broadcast.

Is this a proper TJPW show?

Yes and it’s being lined up to be one of their most important shows of the year. For many years TJPW would run a show at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo during Golden Week in May. However they have changed their schedule for this year and are instead doing two smaller scale shows outside of Tokyo during the week. The reason for that is because all of the important championships matches you would normally see at Korakuen are happening at this Las Vegas show instead.  The veteran side of the roster are all here and accounted for. The people missing are the low carders and young generation who only have one or two years of experience under their belts. They will staying behind in Japan to run a separate TJPW show alongside this one. The guest wrestlers taking part here have all been regularly booked by TJPW in the past as well so nobody sticks out like a sore thumb.

———————————————————————–

1. Rika Tatsumi, Shino Suzuki & Vert Vixen Vs Yuki Aino, Raku & Viva Van

Don’t know what to expect from the start? How about a little bit of everything this promotion has to offer? Every corner of what TJPW can do can be found in this match from accomplished former champions and tough midcarders to comedy gimmicks and a few guests thrown in for good measure. Rika Tatsumi is one of the pillars of the company, what Shino Suzuki lacks in experience she makes up for with her peppiness and Vert Vixen gets to step into the TJPW ring again. On the other team we have two thirds of the Love Triangle teaming up with a familiar opponent. Yuki Aino is ready to go as always, Raku is already set to have this year be her best one yet after she recently won her first championship and Viva Van is being introduced back into the fold before she returns to TJPW for a tour in Japan next month.

Rika Tatsumi – “The White Dragon” Rika Tatsumi takes her name and some of her moveset from Tatsumi Fujinami. She has also developed hips as hard of diamonds thanks to some special training with Shiro Koshinaka. She is one of TJPW’s most decorated wrestlers, being one of only two grand slam champions in the promotion (and the first one at that). But turning into such a powerful creature eventually came at a cost. The weight of success and power she obtained gradually turned her a little bit psycho. When you step into the ring with Tatsumi whether as friend or foe, she will find a way to strangle you.
Moves To Watch Out For: White Dragon Sleeper, Twist Of Fate, Hip Attack, “Let’s Go!” Elbow Drop, Strangling Her Opponents

Shino Suzuki – Welcome the first of three Up Up Girls to appear on the show. The Up Up Girls are a pop idol group that collaborated with TJPW to create a pro wrestling spin-off stable. The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) always perform a song or two at the beginning of TJPW shows before wrestling matches later on the card. Shino Suzuki is one of the newer members of the groups. She is nicknamed “She Know” because she worked as a bus guide before becoming an idol and pro wrestler. While currently low on the totem pole in TJPW, she will display gutsy performances along with her wealth of tourism knowledge.
Moves To Watch Out For: Sleeper Hold, Backward Rolling Cradle, Swinging Neckbreaker

Vert Vixen – Going from what I see online you can spell the name as either VertVixen or Vert Vixen. Obsessed with video games, her ring gear is often inspired by something gaming related. She is nicknamed Player One because Player One always wins! In previous TJPW appearances she has been successful enough to get a few title shots but she has yet to win a championship in this company. She has a busy schedule coming up for the week that might mix her up with other corners of the joshi world.
Moves To Watch Out For: Game Over (Ki Crusher), Blue Thunder Bomb, Rolling Stunner, Sharpshooter

Yuki Aino – At one time Yuki Aino was simply a ring announcer for TJPW who turned into a pro wrestler in order to team up with her sister (the now retired Nodoka Tenma). For years tag team wrestling has been her forte and Aino usually finds her way back there whenever her attempts to go solo end in failure. However 2024 was her best period yet as a singles wrestler. She had a Cinderella run in the Tokyo Princess Cup that led her all the way to the final. Don’t take her lightly when you hear she is powered by love. She can be as stubborn as they come and on her best days will hit you like a firetruck fuelled by love.
Moves To Watch Out For: Venus DDT (Inverted DDT), UBV/Unlimited Burning Venus (Double Arm Side Buster), Full Nelson Of Love And Fire (Full Nelson Camel Clutch), Side Suplex

Raku – The second member of The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) to appear on the card, Raku’s entire personality can be summed down to naps and trains. She knows so much railway trivia that on every show she will have a Train Of The Day to tell the audience. Will the Las Vegas Monorail be up to her standards? Raku’s moveset is built around sending her opponents to sleep so she can run over them with the Oyasumi Express. She is also sometimes armed with a pillow. Somehow this entire package has made her absolutely adored by fans and the roster alike. She also inexplicably became a proper champion this year by winning the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title.
Moves To Watch Out For: Doctor Yellow (Jumping Neckbreaker), Hurricane Turn (Cross-Arm Backslide Pin), Oyasumi/Good Night Express (running on top of the opponent over and over), Good Night Sleeper, Poppo Chop! (Brain Chop)

Viva Van – “The Hellbent Vixen” is one of the most well travelled female wrestlers on the scene today and can currently be seen in ROH. Thanks to working relationships between the promotions she has also done tours of Mexico with CMLL in the past six months. So her appearances in TJPW have been few and far between. The last time she was here she was fighting against Aino & Raku. This time around she is giving Love Triangle a shot by joining forces with them.
Moves To Watch Out For: Hellevator (Electric Chair spun into a Power Bomb), Ocean Cyclone Suplex, Code Red, Meteora, Butterfly Suplex

2. Yuki Arai Vs Arisu Endo

A match that will present a bright future for TJPW. Yuki Arai has been the company’s biggest pet project for a few year’s now. The idol has become one of their draws for her “Two-Sword” careers in both music and wrestling. But the music career has now ended so she can become fully dedicated as a pro wrestler. If they hadn’t been pushing her hard before, the stage is set for it to happen now! Her opponent Arisu Endo is currently licking her wounds after losing a big match against her own tag team partner. There’s a strong bond connecting all TJPW wrestlers who were born in 1998, aka The 1998 Class, which these two are a part of. Endo will want to show that it’s not just Arai who TJPW can count on in the future.

Yuki Arai – Remember the name if you want to follow joshi because TJPW has grand plans in place for Yuki Arai. Up until recently she was a pop idol with the group SKE48 and was known for juggling her singing career with her wrestling career. But she recently graduated from SKE48 to fully dedicate herself to pro wrestling. Already a multiple time champion she is only missing the big one to reach the TJPW Grand Slam. And given how much TJPW is behind her it feels like it will only be a matter of time before she wins it.
Moves To Watch Out For: Finally (Heel Drop axe kick), Rookie Award (Pump Kick to a kneeling opponent), Sharpshooter, Full Nelson Buster

Arisu Endo – One of the big tag teams in TJPW is called Daisy Monkey. Arisu Endo makes up the Monkey part of the team. She is Aizuwakamatsu City’s most cheerful tourism ambassador, representing her hometown with a thumbs up and a smile. Endo also has a habit of constantly dying her hair in new ways, using every colour in the world you can think of. She has so much pride in where she comes from that she named many of her moves after local destinations and traditions. She has also become good friends with Arai away from wrestling so them getting a match like this on a big stage is going to mean a lot to them.
Moves To Watch Out For: Ju no Okite (Hercules Cutter), Camel Clutch, Mt. Bandai (2nd Rope Springboard Dropkick), Tsuruga Castle (Guillotine Knee Drop)

3. Maki Itoh & Zara Zakher Vs Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku

Pairing Maki Itoh and Zara Zakher together might be the most attitude TJPW can get out of any tag team they can think of. Zakher’s wrestling career is still fairly new and she is busy earning her stripes on a WWE ID contract. Itoh made it no secret in the past she would take a big fat contract from an American company if she gets offered one. Maybe Zakher can put in a good word for her if they do well against their opponents. What happens when you put a wasteland warrior like Max The Impaler with the childlike innocence of Pom Harajuku? You get Pompaler, a buddy-buddy tag team that Pixar wished they came up with themselves. Want to see someone use their friend as a human missile? Then this is the match to watch.

Maki Itoh – A failed idol with an endless appetite for fame who won the hearts of pro wrestling fans around the world by transforming into a cute, foul mouthed psychopath. When she’s about to punch her opponent in the corner she always shouts “Who is the cutest in the world?” and the audience always yell “Itoh-chan!” back at her. She used to be self-conscious over being big-headed until she discovered that having an iron head is perfect for wrestling. After spending years trying to find acceptance and success in TJPW, she ended up finding it overseas in places like GCW. In fact nowadays you’re more likely to see Itoh carving up opponents with a pizza cutter in GCW than you will see her trying to be an idol in TJPW!
Moves To Watch Out For: Itoh Special/Deluxe/Punish (Variations of the Texas Cloverleaf), Flying Big Head (Diving Headbutt), Kokeshi Headbutt, I.S.D/Itoh Suicide DDT (Flying DDT from the top rope), The Cutest Knuckle Punch In The World

Zara Zakher – Many wrestling fans discovered Zara Zakher last November when she was one of the first wrestlers announced to be part of the brand new WWE ID initiative. But TJPW fans were ahead of the curve many months before that thanks to her tours of Japan throughout 2024. With only two years of experience under her belt, Zakher was able to hold her own against some of TJPW’s veteran guard for her first couple of tours. Then came the summer tour where she entered the Tokyo Princess Cup, went on a wild run of upsets against tournament favourites and made it all the way to the semi finals. Her performances have earned her title shots and while she has come out of them empty handed, it is undeniable that the Petite Powerhouse has already left a mark in TJPW.
Moves To Watch Out For: Control Z (Screw Bomb), Lariat, Standing Moonsault

Max The Impaler – Puroresu has a history of bringing over wild rampaging warriors from the western world to cause chaos in their rings. Who could have guess TJPW of all companies would join in the tradition? Whenever “The Non-Binary Nightmare” comes over to TJPW you can expect a path of chaos being left in their wake. And yet Max has ended up becoming really well liked by the roster resulting in some pretty strong bonds of friendship being forged out of it. Sure there are times when Max tears the building apart and management gets a little worried about getting future bookings with those venues but Max is now part of the family. And there is one wrestler more than anyone else who Max has established a very strong attachment with.
Moves To Watch Out For: Welcome To The Wasteland (Canadian Backbreaker Drop), Short-Range Lariat, Body Block

Pom Harajuku – Bright and colorful costumes, loud screaming and a lot of shin kicking. Pom Harajuku’s fighting style can be compared to a three year old throwing a temper tantrum. In recent years she has become the centre of Max The Impaler’s attention. They were originally opponents in matches that more resembled a movie monster chasing down their prey until Max began forming an attachment to Harajuku. Before we knew it the two of them became a tag team called Pompaler where Max constantly finds new ways to throw Harajuku at their opponents. When not being used as a projectile, Harajuku has had something of a breakout year in 2024 by reaching the final of the Max Heart Tournament with Max and also winning her first ever championship during a tour of Thailand. Even without Max, Harajuku can be a lot to handle by herself and that’s just from the screaming.
Moves To Watch Out For: Pom de Justice (Step-Up Guillotine Leg Drop), Laforet Harajuku (Satellite Headscissors), Shin Kick, Denden Taiko (beating the opponent’s chest like a drum)

4. TNA World Knockouts Title: Masha Slamovich (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

EDIT: It has since been announced that the match will be for the TNA World Knockouts Title.

This has the makings of a show-stealer. These are two wrestlers who went through breakout years in 2024 set to clash against each other. Masha Slamovich has become a top tier talent in both TNA and GCW while Miu Watanabe finally reached the summit of TJPW after fans waited so long to see her get up there. Now that her run as champion has ended for now she is getting put in the ring against the best female stars from around the world that TJPW can find (and haven’t been locked down by exclusive contracts).

Masha Slamovich – Maybe the toughest girl going in wrestling today. She is currently the TNA Knockouts Champion, was the only woman to ever hold the GCW World Title and has also become unstoppable in Jersey Championship Wrestling as their champion. TJPW is a corner of the world that’s given her a challenge though. She’s fought for championships here before and come out of them empty handed. When it comes to the promotion bringing in guests, she has become one of the highest walls for even TJPW’s most accomplished wrestlers to try and climb over. This match here is another example of that.
Moves To Watch Out For: White Knight Driver/From Russia With Love (Half Package Piledriver), Snow Plow/Russian Death Device (Northern Lights Bomb), Liger Bomb, Shining Wizard

Miu Watanabe – The third and last Up Up Card on the show, Miu Watanabe has two things she loves most in life: Idols and Pro Wrestling! She is also the strongest and most successful of the lot when it comes to what happens inside the ring. She is the second Grand Slam champion so you can say she’s almost done it all in TJPW yet she still has the whole world at her feet. Always full of energy, Watanabe uses big hand gestures to spell out L-O-V-E along with her theme song during her entrances. She also knows various ways to throw people around with the Giant Swing and cave some chests in with Double Sledge strikes.
Moves To Watch Out For: Tear Drop (Modified Flapjack), Reverse Paradox (Gorilla Clutch), Laserbeam (Overhand Chop to the chest), Giant Swing, Canadian Backbreaker, Swinging Backbreaker

5. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Jada Stone

Let’s head into the championship bouts. The International Princess Title is TJPW’s midcard title that is meant to be built around international competition. That’s not always the case but here it fits the bill. Suzume has been on a run with the belt since winning it from Yuki Arai and an overseas title defence is currently missing from this résumé. Jada Stone has challenged Suzume for the title once before but couldn’t get the job done. She is getting a rematch and should theoretically have the home field advantage this time.

Suzume – As sharp and swift as a wasp, Suzume is the Daisy half of Daisy Monkey. She begun her career as a fast learner, only spending seven months in training before making her pro debut. Just based on her aesthetic alone it is of no surprise that speed is the name of her game. It’s served her well because she became the International Princess Champion at the start of the year and has held onto it ever since. She also already has a successful title defence against her opponent here.
Moves To Watch Out For: Ring A Bell (RKO), Spring Ring A Bell (Oscutter), Mikazuki Meteor Shower (Diving Cross Body), Twinkle (Twisting School Boy), Flying Facecrusher

Jada Stone – “The Spark” caused a bit of a stir in Deadlock Pro last September. With only two years of experience at the time, she won a dark match to enter the Battle Of The Best tournament as a last minute stand in. She then wrestled a second match on the night losing to Shoko Nakajima in the tournament but her performances that evening won over a lot of people. Word went back to TJPW and they brought her in for tours this year that included an IP Title shot. Again she lost the match but TJPW liked what they saw between her and Suzume so much that they decided to run it back in Vegas.
Moves To Watch Out For: Spark Stunner (Backflip into a Stone Cold Stunner), Moonsault, Meteora, Sliding Lariat

6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara

Next up the Princess Tag Team Titles are on the line. Kyoraku Kyomei is what happens when Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao decided to become a fun loving tag team living to their fullest during the pandemic because neither of them knew what tomorrow would bring. They are one of the longest serving active tag teams in TJPW but only just recently won the tag titles for the first time together. This is going to be their first defence. Their opponents are a newly put together team called Ober Eats. If you ask Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara where they got the name from they might say it’s because Uehara likes to over eat. Or they might come up with something else because really they just needed to think up a team name on short notice in order to get Kyoraku Kyomei to accept their challenge.

Shoko Nakajima – Meet the Big Kaiju, all 147cm of her! Shoko Nakajima has pretty much done it all in TJPW as one of the promotion’s longest serving wrestlers. Usually relying on quick reflexes, she also has the strength to put away opponents with the Northern Lights Suplex. The Diving Senton she uses is nothing to sneeze at either. When put in Hardcore Match situations her favourite weapon is a pile of kaiju toys that she slams her opponents onto. She’s a Swiss Army Knife that can adapt to any kind of situation wrestling can throw at her. She also very recently won the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title.
Moves To Watch Out For: Northern Lights Suplex, Diving Senton, Unmanned Local Train Hold (Yurikamome submission hold), 619, Rider Kick (One-Legged Dropkick)

Hyper Misao – When love and peace is under threat in TJPW, you can always rely on Hyper Misao to come to the rescue. Just be aware that her plans to save the world are never as heroic as they’re meant to be. She often gets on the microphone to greet everyone with “Hello big children” before explaining her plan to save the day. Of course by being a superhero that means she has her own Hyper Mobile. She likes to crash it into her opponents along with any unfortunate bystander who happens to be nearby. She also blinds opponents with her Hero Correction Spray. Deep down inside Misao is a multi-layered human being with infinite potential that if harvested correctly could make her a very powerful wrestler. But why go through all that baggage when you can just wear a cool mask and cheat like hell instead?
Moves To Watch Out For: Hypami Returns (Final Cut), I Am A Hero (Diving Cross Body), Crossface Chickenwing, Vanitas (Double Arm Facebuster), Cold Spray Attack

Yuki Kamifuku – Also known by her nickname Kamiyu, she is “The Casual Beauty” of TJPW. Grew up in Ohio during her junior high school years so she knows the most English out of the bunch. She knows how to get under her opponent’s skin with harsh and catty opinions but there is another side to her where she is loyal and sympathetic to her friends. She is also proud of her modelling background because her accomplishments in the ring is proof you do not need to be a die hard pro wrestling fan to succeed in the business. Over the last two years she has emerged as the most dominant woman in the Southeast Asian wrestling scene where she currently holds both the Queen Of Asia Title from Singapore and the VPW Women’s Title from Vietnam. The two belts together can be referred to as the Double Asian Crown. If she can win the Tag Titles here she’ll have something in her wardrobe to match with the belt for sure.
Moves To Watch Out For: Famouser (Jumping Leg Drop to a bent over opponent), Big Boot, Yahoo 83cm (Headscissors DDT), Manjigatame, Thumb To The Eye

Wakana Uehara – “WAKANAAAAAA!” One of the emerging stars climbing up the ranks is popular with fans because of her noticeably big… appetite. Wakana Uehara entered wrestling through a reality series TJPW held for idols called Yume Pro Wrestling -dream on the ring- and was the sole person who stayed on to turn pro. She made her mark by winning the first Next Generation Tournament in 2023, hit a road block in 2024 and this year ended up attaching herself to Kamifuku as a tag team to jump start her momentum again. This will be her first ever chance at winning a championship. One can only imagine the victory meal she’ll have in Vegas to celebrate!
Moves To Watch Out For: Banana Pillow (Triangle Lancer), Sleeper Hold, Space Rolling Elbow, High Speed Brainbuster

7. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

To put it simply, the main event is TJPW’s two strongest wrestlers against each other. This is going to be one of the biggest matches the company will book this year anywhere in the world. Only a select few have held the Princess Of Princess Title in the championship’s nine years of existence. Mizuki is currently on her second reign and only wants to defend it against the best to ensure she is a stronger champion now than she was the first time back in 2023. That means defending the belt against the one woman she has yet to beat one on one, the ace of TJPW Miyu Yamashita! Already a four time Princess Champion, Yamashita is using this show to kick off her latest American excursion that will last up until the summer. There’s no bad intentions behind the decision but if she wins the title again then that means TJPW will be without their main championship for several months. The only times Mizuki has gotten the better of Yamashita has been in tag matches but when it comes to singles clashes, it’s been Yamashita on top every time. Will this finally be the day when the strongest princess slays the strongest monster?

Mizuki – “The Popping Sugar Rabbit” did not start her wrestling career in TJPW but she has established herself as one of the company’s all time best with multiple championship reigns and big show main events to her name. One of the most photogenic wrestlers going today. She constantly goes viral on social media for using moves that leave those who see them locked in a state of inspiration and amazement. She doesn’t understand what U3+4 means but she is the closest pro wrestling will ever get to creating a real life Lili from Tekken. Now a two-time Princess Champion she wants to fight the best so she herself can get even stronger. Don’t trust that mischievous smile of hers, she is vicious when she wants to be. “The Popping Sugar Rabbit” may sound like a silly nickname but we’ll see who’s laughing when Mizuki is Double Stomping the guts out of her opponent.
Moves To Watch Out For: Cutie Special (Bridging Fall Away Slam), Whirling Candy (Spinning Cross Body Block), Diving Foot Stomp, Face Lock

Miyu Yamashita – “The Pink Striker” has been part of TJPW since Day 1 of the company proper and is never far away from winning one of their championships. She is such a major part of the company that her dominance has long become a big fish in a small pond scenario. The Skull Kick she uses is one of the most deadliest looking finishers around. In recent years she has taken time away from TJPW to wrestle across America and Europe. That trend continues because after this show takes place Yamashita will begin a fresh stay in America that will last from April until July.
Moves To Watch Out For: Skull Kick (Backspin High Kick to the head), Crash Rabbit Heat (Running Knee Kick), Attitude Adjustment, Return Crash (Triangle Kick off the turnbuckles)

8. Special Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Masha Slamovich Vs Shinya Aoki & Miyu Yamashita

Welcome to this year’s edition of “Real Matches Or My Fire Pro Save?” This is a mental set of matches booked so far and there’s still like a third of the card still to be put together. GCW did an admirable job last year of finding women on their shows to match up against TJPW. They don’t have to worry about being strict this time around so maybe we get something like Pom Harajuku interacting with Effy or maybe Max The Impaler gets to kidnap Yuni? At least all parties involved can honestly say they came up with a show that is absolutely unlike anything else going on this week.

———————————————————————–

But wait. There’s more! A few TJPW wrestlers are taking bookings on other shows happening through the week.

PANDEMONIUM PRO “THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS”, 17/04/2025
Fremont Country Club, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Maya World Vs Miu Watanabe

It all starts with Watanabe taking a rare outside booking with Pandemonium Pro a few days before the TJPW show. Maya World is one of the many talents looking to grab attention for themselves and beating a former Princess Champion would do just that.

WRESTLECON “MARK HITCHCOCK MEMORIAL SUPERSHOW”, 17/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Mickie James Vs Maki Itoh

In one corner stands a wrestling idol with grand ambitions of becoming a popstar who was unceremoniously fired in a humiliating fashion in the past. In the other corner is Maki Itoh. Also if any British fans start chanting “Hardcore Country” at Mickie James for literally the entire match you have my permission to throw a brick at them.

GCW “JOSH BARNETT’S BLOODSPORT XIII”, 17/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Nattie Neidhart Vs Miyu Yamashita

Unlikely friends fighting each other in an unlikely match up. The last time Yamashita entered GCW’s Bloodsport she lost to Shayna Baszler. She will face another WWE wrestler for her return but this one hits a little closer to home. A home away from home if you will. Whenever Yamashita does her excursions to America she often visits Natalya to train at her invite-only wrestling school. It was a given that someday the two would eventually fight each other. Nattie Neidhart has a chip on her shoulder because the expectations are always that she is expected to be a stepping stone for her opponents. Yamashita doesn’t want to be underestimated either. Get your $1 bets ready for this one.

WRESTLECORE “FEAR & WRESTLECORE IN LAS VEGAS”, 18/04/2025
Swan Dive, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. ELP Vs Maki Itoh

Oh what could have been. In the lead up to this week El Phantasmo was sending messages to Itoh asking if they could team up together as The World’s Cutest Tag Team. Plans didn’t go the way they were intended so now the two of them are at each other’s throats! Only a match against each other on the WrestleCore show will solve this problem.

GCW “CLUSTERF*CK FOREVER”, 19/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Clusterfuck Match: X Vs X

Maybe Itoh or Yamashita shows up in the Clusterfuck? What about Raku? No wait she’ll be sleeping through it. Throw Shino Suzuki in there.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 IN SHINJUKU” Results

7. Mizuki, Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Miyu Yamashita, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara when Mizuki pinned Yamashita with the Aquamarine (11:30).

One last big preview for Las Vegas next week was on display in the main event. It was the Princess Of Princess Champion and the Princess Tag Team Champions joining forces against their challengers. Shoko Nakajima was back from America and had her newly won MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title with her. Hyper Misao wanted to start the match with handshakes but the challenger team knew what was coming and defended themselves. The champion team got the upper hand anyway and manipulated Miyu Yamashita into kicking Wakana Uehara away from her. Misao blinded Yamashita with a spray and rolled her up into one of the ringside mats. But Yamashita escaped, trapped Misao into the mat and Penalty Kicked her at ringside. Misao later took out Yuki Kamifuku with the Gotham Crush but Nakajima was thrown aside by a Snap Suplex from Uehara. The match came down to Mizuki ducking under Yamashita’s Skull Kick and rolling her up with the Aquamarine to get the big victory.

Yamashita left the ring in defeat while Kyoraku Kyomei and Ober Eats shared some last words with each other in the ring. Mizuki says she knows Yamashita is frustrated by today’s result because she herself was frustrated when Yamashita pinned her in Nagoya last month. She got one back today and promised she will never lose to the monster again! Backstage Misao said she will be leaving for Vegas with a fresh mind because of today’s win. Nakajima said she’ll be visiting America more often this year because of the MLW Women’s Title so she definitely wants to win in Vegas. Kamifuku has noticed how much stronger and even darker Kyoraku Kyomei have become but she has a theory that they are actually weaker when they are on American soil. America suits Ober Eats better because Kamifuku & Uehara both like American junk food. Yamashita was surprised by how Mizuki beat her today but that motivates her and now she’s more excited for the title match. She asked Kamifuku to go warn her that Yamashita is scary.

Everyone also cut their final promos for the Las Vegas show in English. Yamashita said she will never give up and will start “kicking showtime.” Kamifuku said Ober Eats will bring the fans happiness and Uehara promised they will get the belts. Nakajima said she’s going to Vegas because she likes money, Misao is sure Kyoraku Kyomei will win and Mizuki told Yamashita to go to hell!

Two title matches were announced for the Golden Week shows in May. First Yuki Kamifuku will be defending her VPW Women’s Title against the returning Viva Van on the 3rd May show in Yokohama. Then on 5th May in Osaka whoever the Princess Tag Champions are coming out of Vegas will put the belts on the line against the “SEA STORM” of Matcha & Alexis Lee! The two Southeast Asian wrestlers are tired of TJPW taking their championships from them that they want to give the company a taste of their own medicine!

Maki Itoh wasn’t on the show today because she was feeling in poor condition. I don’t blame her. Fighting Jun Kasai in a quasi-death match out in the cold on a Wednesday night isn’t something you’d immediately recover from. A few of the undercard matches were switched around because of her absence.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 IN FUKUOKA” Results

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 IN FUKUOKA”, 06/04/2025
Acros Fukuoka
335 Fans

1. Moka Miyamoto defeated Mifu Ashida with the Rashomon (6:32).
2. Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa & Chika Nanase when Kiryu pinned Nanase with the Spinebuster (8:16).
3. 3 Way Match: Raku defeated Kaya Toribami and Shino Suzuki when Raku pinned Suzuki with the Hurricane Turn (7:00).
4. Rika Tatsumi & Toga defeated Kira Summer & Ivy Steele when Tatsumi pinned Summer with the Twist Of Fate (9:37).
5. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Miu Watanabe & Uta Takami when Suzume pinned Takami with the Ring A Bell (11:53).
6. Mizuki & Aja Kong defeated Hyper Misao & Pom Harajuku when Kong pinned Harajuku with the Back Drop (11:46).
7. Maki Itoh, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Miyu Yamashita, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro when Itoh submitted Kazashiro with the Itoh Deluxe (13:27).

It was only fitting that Fukuoka was the location of 121000000’s first match against each other since splitting up. The two hometown girls Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh opened up the match and had an intense back and forth before both tagging out. They had more exchanges in the match but others got in the way. Ober Eats tried working out a Double Flapjack together but Yamashita kicked both Wakana Uehara & Yuki Kamifuku away. But it was Itoh who scored the victory for her team by making Haru Kazashiro submit to the Itoh Deluxe while Yamashita & Yuki Aino were unable to make the save. Itoh gave the microphone to Yamashita after the match to say some words before taking it back to close out the show herself. She got the crowd to call Yamashita the second cutest in the world while Itoh is still the cutest. Backstage Itoh brought up that she and Yamashita are having a singles match in GCW next month. She feels like she cannot lose to her there.

Hyper Misao thought it was unfair that Mizuki got to team up with Aja Kong so she & Pom Harajuku tried bribing Kong with rice crackers to join their side. They also made custom superhero masks for the three of them to wear. Kong declined the offer and hit Misao with the box of crackers while Mizuki stole Harajuku’s shoes. Mizuki also brought a Pico Pico Hammer into the ring. Misao used the Hero Spray to blind Mizuki, causing her to blindly swing the Hammer around in the ring. Kong hit Mizuki over the head with a steel can to stop her. Mizuki regained her sight and used the Hammer to knock the spray can out of Misao’s hands. Kong then knocked out Harajuku with the steel can and pinned her with the Back Drop. Kong assured Mizuki she was never going to turn on her because Kong was teaming with a champion while Misao only wanted to make people look funny wearing the mask. She encouraged Mizuki to go beat Yamashita to a pulp in America.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 IN SHINJUKU”, 11/04/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Mifu Ashida Vs Chika Nanase
2. Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami Vs Kira Summer & Ivy Steele

7. Mizuki, Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Miyu Yamashita, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara

This will be TJPW’s last proper show before Las Vegas but they do have a fan club show happening in the middle between them. The main event can be treated as the go-home match because it is a team of champions taking on their next challengers in a 6-Woman Tag Match. So it’s the last chance for Mizuki and Miyu Yamashita to size each other up while Kyoraku Kyomei and Ober Eats can get deal a big warning strike to each other.

So far Chris Brookes has defended the BK-G Openweight Title one time and it wasn’t even at a Baka Gaijin + Friends show. His first defence in home territory will be a Triple Threat match against two Baka Gaijin originals. Both Mr. Bueno and Mr. Malo are stepping up to challenge him at the same time Red Oni, Blue Oni style.

To-y Still Injured, Ohka Gets Mochizuki, TJPW Title Matches Confirmed

Apparently tomorrow is when the official DDT website gets a makeover while Tokyo Joshi Pro will finally get an official website of their own again. For my own sake I hope it’s not going to make getting info more difficult.

To-y hasn’t recovered from his injury yet so he will be missing this week’s shows. The show on 26th March now has one less match on it after a bunch of wrestlers were moved around for To-y’s absence.

DDT “O-HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2025 – DAY 2”, 27/03/2025

6. Mizuki & Rika Tatsumi Vs Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto

At first it seems weird that Yuki Arai’s match isn’t the main event of this show but then I remember she has a concert to prepare for that’s happening at the end. Also there’s a Princess Of Princess Title match that needs to be built up. Priorities, people!

DDT “OWARI WARS 2025”, 29/03/2025
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference

1. 3 Way Match: Yukio Naya Vs JJ Furno Vs Yuki Ishida

DDT have put together a ragtag team for MAO’s last match as a member of The 37KAMIINA. It starts out looking like an all-star squad with HARASHIMA and Danshoku Dieno then we get wacky with Kazuki Hirata and end with a youthful wild card in Takeshi Masada.

DDT “DDT MEET & GREET & FIGHT APRIL”, 03/04/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya Vs Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida
2. Ilusion Vs Yuni
3. Special Tag Match: Yuya Koroku & Keigo Nakamura Vs To-y & Takeshi Masada

The young wrestlers take most of the stage for April’s “MEET & GREET & FIGHT” show including a return to the generational rivalry between Yuni and Ilusion.

DDT “CHANGE AGE 2025 ~YOUR LIE IN APRIL~”, 06/04/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Toru Owashi & Antonio Honda Vs MJ Paul & Ilusion
1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, Kazuki Hirata & Kumadori Vs Shunma Katsumata, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
2. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Daichi Sato
3. Naomi Yoshimura’s Return Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida Vs Yukio Naya, To-y, Takeshi Masada & JJ Furno
4. 2 Vs 1 Special Handicap Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani Vs KANON
5. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & Yuki Ueno Vs HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) Vs Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Yuya Koroku

This looks a little bit awkward. Minoru Suzuki clearly enjoys being in the ring with Yuki Ueno but he did just take the DDT Universal Title away from him. How is Ueno going to act next to him when they team up together? The match is a chance for either HARASHIMA or Danshoku Dieno to nab themselves a future Universal Title shot if things go their way too.

7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Yumehito Imanari (c) Vs Shinichiro Tominaga

Here’s the full line up for Ganbare☆Pro’s return to Korakuen Hall. After weeks of searching Ken Ohka found his star opponent. It’s Masaaki Mochizuki from Dragongate! We also have Mizuki Watase returning in an 8-Man Tag (looks to me like he isn’t 100% ready yet) and a reunion of the Hentai Punch Drunkers. Meanwhile Munetatsu Nakamura picked up a friend from his recent FREEDOMS appearance, bringing Toru Sugiura over to team with him.

The three title matches for Las Vegas are now confirmed. Mizuki has taken the risk of choosing Miyu Yamashita for her next Princess Title defence in the hopes she can finally beat her one on one. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara have formed the team Ober Eats to challenge Kyoraku Kyomei for the Princess Tag Team Titles. Last but not least there is the rematch of Suzume versus Jada Stone with the International Princess Title again on the line.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 IN YOKOHAMA” Results

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 IN YOKOHAMA”, 22/03/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall
258 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Mahiro Kiryu defeated Ivy Steele with the Spinebuster (6:46).
2. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Haruna Neko and HIMAWARI when Tatsumi pinned Neko and HIMAWARI with a Double Roll Up (6:27).
3. Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa & Chika Nanase when Raku pinned Nanase with the Doctor Yellow (7:19).
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Haru Kazashiro & Toga when Uehara submitted Toga with the Banana Pillow (10:03).
5. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Maki Itoh & Mifu Ashida when Suzume pinned Ashida with the Ring A Bell (9:45).
6. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Miu Watanabe & Uta Takami when Nakajima pinned Takami with the Northern Lights Suplex (12:25).
7. Mizuki, Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami defeated Yuki Aino, Moka Miyamoto & Shino Suzuki when Yamashita pinned Suzuki with the Skull Kick (12:59).

The road to Las Vegas now has a clear direction at least when it comes to the championship matches. Today’s show had plenty of challenges and announcements thrown out regarding the titles you will currently find in Tokyo Joshi Pro. After the main event Mizuki noticed Miyu Yamashita was like a rowdy monster in the ring today. She said she has never beaten Yamashita in a singles title match and really hates losing to her. She wants to become stronger so she nominates Yamashita to be her next challenger for the Princess Of Princess Title! Yamashita was surprised over how sudden this is and she would love it if they have the title match in America. Mizuki then asked Kaya Toribami who she will root for? Toribami hesitated and picked Mizuki because she is kind and Yamashita is scary.

The Princess Tag Team Titles match for Vegas is also set although it took a bit of effort to get there. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara approached Kyoraku Kyomei to challenge them for the belts. Kamifuku has started to work really hard lately because Uehara’s parents recently gave her a gift in return for taking care of their daughter. However Shoko Nakajima thought the two of them were taking the concept of a title challenge for granted. Hyper Misao also doesn’t sense they vibe together as a proper tag team because they don’t even have a name yet (I guess Ayase Town Hills New Hills didn’t catch on). Kamifuku wanted to give up but Uehara kept trying to think up of a name. It wasn’t until later in the show backstage when Kamifuku & Uehara approached Kyoraku Kyomei again. They threw out another challenge because this time they have a tag team name. Together they are called OberEats! Nakajima thinks the name sounds familiar but she and Misao were convinced enough to give them the title shot for Vegas.

It was announced that Suzume will defend the International Princess Title against Jada Stone again. The rematch of last month’s title bout will happen in Las Vegas on 18th April. Suzume knows it won’t be easy to beat Stone again. Also things are still good between Daisy Monkey after their recent title match. Suzume & Arisu Endo had fun teaming up again today and remembered being next to each other is the best.

The bond between Raku and Pom Harajuku has also become stronger after their title match. They spent just as much time playing games with Raku’s pillow than they did wrestle their opponents. It was also revealed that Raku’s first defence of the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title will happen in May. Malaysian wrestler Nor ‘Phoenix’ Diana is coming to TJPW on 3rd May and will face Raku in a title match on 5th May. Raku predicts Diana will be sleep deprived from the flight to Japan so she will listen to some Malaysian lullabies as part of her strategy to beat her.
