GANBARE☆PRO “DIRTY HERO 2022”, 03/11/2022
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Hartley Jackson (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura

It’s been proven that strength and passion on their own is not enough to beat Hartley Jackson. So now it is up to Shuichiro Katsumura to prove that a mixture of skill, speed, stamina and strategy can get the job done. The spotlight is on him as much as it can be because the match is taking place in his hometown. If he wins the Spirit Of Ganbare Title he has already said he wants to give Ken Ohka the first title shot. Katsumura considers Jackson to be a good friend so he offered to take him out for a meal after their match. Jackson loves the idea but is worried Katsumura will have a broken jaw and won’t be able to walk after he beats him. It would be rude if he has to spend the entire meal lying on the floor looking up at Jackson eating and drinking everything.

GANBARE☆PRO “GIRI GIRI CHOP! 2022”, 27/12/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Kouki Iwasaki Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling Last Match: Keisuke Ishii Vs Kouki Iwasaki

Today it’s been announced that Kouki Iwasaki will terminate his contract with Ganbare☆Pro at the end of this year. He is leaving the promotion and will continue wrestling as a freelancer. It is a decision he was thinking about for over a year because he is at his most fulfilled both physically and mentally. He and his wife are also expecting their first child during the new year so he thinks now is the time to move on to fighting new opponents from the outside world. He does not have any specific places where he wants to work other than he wants to be in places where he can grow and step up. His final match as a member of Ganpro is against his friend Keisuke Ishii on 27th December.

Ganpro publicly introduced their current trainee, who comes from the cabaret world. Riara is said to be a “legendary cabaret club girl” from the No. 1 club in Kabukicho. Born in Kurihara City, Miyagi she discovered pro wrestling in 4th grade and once sent in a resume to LLPW. She began working at hostess clubs in Sendai at the age of 19 and moved to Tokyo after the 2011 earthquake. In Kabukicho she achieved many accomplishments within her field and became very popular. However she had always wanted to follow her dream to be a pro wrestler and met with Sanshiro Takagi through a mutual acquaintance. After their meeting, Riara graduated from the cabaret world and in June became a Ganpro trainee. Takagi said Riara has already shown the motivation and passion needed to reach to the top. She still has a way to go before she has a wrestling match but will be able to start doing ringside duties at Ganpro shows soon. Riara grew up as a fan of Atsushi Onita, nWo Japan and Hiroyoshi Tenzan. She would like to be in an Exploding Death Match with Onita. Takagi said he can recommend her to Onita if she debuts and shows she can do well in the ring.

7. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) defeated Hyper Misao with the Diving Senton (14:29).
*V2 for Shoko Nakajima.

No time to rest just because the Golden Week show is over because “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022” is coming up on the horizon. Shoko Nakajima defeated her partner in crime (figure of speech) Hyper Misao for her second defence of the Princess Of Princess Title. Misao wanted to prove she would fight fair to the best of her ability and placed down all of her hidden sprays before the match. She didn’t cheat but her plan was to find a way to beat Nakajima as quickly as possible. Nakajima’s gameplan was to target Misao’s arm and it paid off when Misao couldn’t use the Vanitas late in the match. Nakajima saw her moment to strike and dropped Misao with a Double Arm DDT before pinning her with the Diving Senton.

Nakajima told Misao she is amazing because she can do anything. Misao sees Nakajima as the main character but Nakajima thinks that does not mean the second best wrestler can never become champion. Both of them felt each other’s pain today and Kyoraku Kyomei will become an even better team because of it. Nakajima wants Misao to help her grab the box of toys that is Tokyo Joshi Pro and turn it upside down together. Next for the champion is to defend the belt at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022” in Saitama Super Arena on 12th June. The previous women who held the Princess Title have all been great champions and Nakajima wants to surpass them all!

Hikaru Shida got to experience both sides of 121000000 for her return to TJPW. Maki Itoh attempted to hit Shida in the head with a microphone like she did in AEW a year ago. But this time Shida grabbed the mic off her and whacked her over the head with it. Itoh’s big head no sold it. A new experience for Shida was getting to fight Miyu Yamashita and they two went at it. Moka Miyamoto benefitted with her own actions in the match. Her rush of attacks had Yamashita on the defensive until she stopped her momentum with a Front Kick. The end then came when Yamashita hit the Skull Kick for the win. Yamashita has expressed interest in a singles match with Shida. The two of them also praised Miyamoto for exceeding their expectations. Itoh however found the match to be a frustrating experience. She wants to go back to America so she can get stronger!

One year into her career Yuki Arai is still shining bright. Miu Watanabe was her tag partner in her debut so it was only fitting she was by her side again along with Rika Tatsumi bringing up the rear. The three of them all put Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku in separate submission holds. Harajuku changed course and almost had Arai beat with the Pom de Justice but it was broken it up. They cleaned out the ring so Arai could pin Harajuku with the Finally Axe Kick. She is happy to show everyone how much she has grown in one year. Tatsumi joked that Arai will overtake her someday but she isn’t going to lose to her.

Juria Nagano’s third pro wrestling match pitted her against Suzume. Her standing strikes are something to fear but her weakness continues to be what happens when she is taken to the ground. Suzume got to work on some submission holds this way and cut off Nagano’s comeback with a Facebuster before winning with the Ring A Bell. Suzume credited her recent singles match with Yamashita as a sign she can overwhelm lesser experienced opponents. Nagano said she wants fight more like a pro wrestler in her next match without relying on Karate. She would like to participate in TJPW more often but she has patients to protect as a nurse so she can only wrestle once a month for the time being.

Match #3 had an unexpected guest at ringside. Yuna Manase appeared before the match to promote the Ganbare☆Pro show taking place later in the evening. She stayed to watch the Toyo University Tag defeat Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami. The finish came when Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu gave Toribami a Big Boot/Spinebuster combo. Kiryu then turned her over into a Crab Hold to make her submit. Kiryu exchanged some words with Manase by the commentary table after the match. The two will be facing each other in a singles match on 5th May.

Almost three years ago Reika Saiki’s pro wrestling career got sidelined when she got a broken jaw. Although she recovered, her return to the ring never came and she eventually made the decision to retire both from pro wrestling and bodybuilding. She chose Tokyo Joshi Pro to host her retirement ceremony, although there was a shoutout to her other home promotion when she wore a wristband with the WRESTLE-1 logo on it. The retirement match was only a three minute exhibition bout against Arisu Endo, a fellow member of the Cheer♡1 idol group they both came from. The match ended in a draw but it was Endo who had the upper hand in the final seconds when she applied a Camel Clutch and Saiki struggled to reach the ropes.

The ceremony had Saiki receive gifts from the roster (news reports also said Saori Anou was there to congratulate her backstage). She said it’s been two years and eight months since she last wrestled and her time here was too short. She loves pro wrestling and was happy to remember what it is like to be a wrestler for three more minutes. The Arisu Endo she briefly fought today isn’t the same person she knew from Cheer♡1 but she has turned into a good wrestler. Saiki’s wrestling career only lasted 3 and a half years and most of it was in TJPW. She will continue to love TJPW for that reason.

A sudden change in travel schedules for Yuka Sakazaki moved the Princess Tag Team Titles match to the opening spot on the show. Free WiFi relied on their plan to remove the turnbuckle pad because it’s been working for them so far. Both Mizuki and Yuka Sakazaki ended up feeling the exposed metal of the corner because of it. However The Magical Sugar Rabbits turned things around to defend the titles. Sakazaki took care of Nao Kakuta with the Magical Merry-Go-Round and after that Mizuki pinned Hikari Noa with the Cutie Special. Sakazaki was relieved with the win because it means she can go to the United States with confidence. She also admitted she could finally sense a little bit Free WiFi’s good receptions. Kakuta called the result a complete defeat but promised her team with Noa is just getting started.

Yes! Wonderland Title Matches, Saiki’s Final Cheer, Sakazaki Going Back To AEW

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND 2022 ~SPREAD THE WINGS OF YOUR DREAMS~”, 03/05/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Exhibition Match: Reika Saiki Vs Arisu Endo
2. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami
3. Suzume Vs Julia Nagano
4. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Yuki Arai Vs Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku
5. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Hikaru Shida & Moka Miyamoto
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Hyper Misao

The contracts for the two title matches were signed at the beginning of today’s show. Shoko Nakajima was coming in with tremendous confidence after wrestling in England this past week but Hyper Misao would later put a damper on her with today’s result. Misao does not know what the qualifications of a champion are other that they believe in themselves. She’s been believing in herself lately so maybe that is proof Hyper Misao is ready to become the Princess Of Princess Champion. Misao also said Nakajima’s strength is having “hero power” like a shonen manga protagonist. No matter how much adversity she faces, she turns it into power to fight back. Nakajima though admits her weakness is leaving her guard down so she has to be careful if Misao pulls out any tricks.

Free WiFi claim they have a lot of respect for The Magical Sugar Rabbits because they are the dominant tag team in Tokyo Joshi Pro. This will be the third time Hikari Noa is challenging for the Princess Tag Team Titles. She thinks she has to win it here because it took her three tries to win the International Princess Title. Her tag partner Nao Kakuta admits Free WiFi have not teamed for very long but they will still fight to become TJPW’s top tag team. Mizuki called them out for behaving like good girls here when in the ring they are not good girls at all. Yuka Sakazaki does not think the challengers have a single advantage over them.

One more match for Reika Saiki as part of her retirement from pro wrestling and it is a special one. She is getting three minutes in the ring with Arisu Endo. Both women are former members of the Cheer♡1 idol group and they were cast under the same role in the unit. It was Saiki’s work as a wrestler that inspired Endo to become one herself so it is a dream come true for Endo to wrestle her right at the end of Saiki’s career.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GO GO DO IT”, 05/05/2022
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. Yuna Manase Vs Mahiro Kiryu
2. Miyu Yamashita & Miu Watanabe Vs Saki Akai & Yuki Kamifuku
3. Osaka Special 8-Woman Tag Match: Yuki Arai, Suzume, Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo Vs Maki Itoh, Princess Of Princess Champion & Princess Tag Team Champions

TJPW announced that earlier this week AEW contacted them asking for Yuka Sakazaki to wrestle a match in America next week. After discussions over scheduling and travel, an agreement was made on short notice. Sakazaki will still be at the 3rd May show in Korakuen Hall but will not be part of their aftershow promotional event taking place later in the evening. She also will no longer be on the 5th May show in Osaka. Right now the date for her return is publicly unknown. May is a light schedule for TJPW. Their next show after the 5th is on the 15th and the only other one after that is on the 29th. So I say there’s no rush for her to get back to Japan immediately. The likely move is to put her in a qualification match for the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament and see where she goes from there. Or maybe she’s the one MJF hired to take down Wardlow, I dunno.

Yuna Manase returns to take on Mahiro Kiryu. The two were on opposite sides at Sumo Hall back in March for the TJPW Vs Ganbare☆Pro tag match.

The remaining card will not be decided on until after the 3rd May show takes place. If The Magical Sugar Rabbits are still the Princess Tag Team Champions going into Osaka then Sakazaki’s spot in the main event will be replaced by someone else.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR ’22” Results

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR ’22”, 29/04/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
150 Fans

1. Yuki Aino defeated Kaya Toribami with the Venus DDT (6:57).
2. Miu Watanabe defeated Haruna Neko with the Canadian Backbreaker (7:33).
3. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta defeated Rika Tatsumi & Arisu Endo when Kakuta pinned Endo with the Shiden Kai (11:20).
4. Miyu Yamashita defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Attitude Adjustment (8:25).
5. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Raku defeated Maki Itoh, Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Sakazaki pinned Kiryu after the Toy Story 4 (13:01).
6. Shoko Nakajima & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao & Suzume when Nakajima pinned Suzume with the Northern Lights Suplex (12:45).

Fresh back from England, Shoko Nakajima wanted to show off her manners she learned over there by shaking hands with Hyper Misao before the main event began. There was an accidental unmasking when Nakajima gave Misao a Hurricanrana but other than that tension was calm between the two. After the match Nakajima said wrestling outside of Tokyo Joshi Pro gave her a different view and she wants to bring everyone to that wider place. There is still another tag match between her and Misao tomorrow before the Princess Of Princess Title defence takes place next week. She is enthusiastic for it. Today was also a rare situation for Pom Harajuku. She is a winner in the main event! Even she can’t believe it and thinks it was a fluke. She won’t be at tomorrow’s show so she asked Nakajima to work 2.5 times as hard for her.

Another preview match for Korakuen Hall saw Miyu Yamashita beat Moka Miyamoto. Yamashita could feel that Miyamoto understands the importance of their tag match on 3rd May and it showed with her performance today. Miyamoto is disappointed with the loss but will use it for motivation when she takes on Maki Itoh tomorrow. By doing her best in her singles matches it means she will also do her best when she teams with Hikaru Shida next week.

It was announced that Reika Saiki will have a three minute exhibition match against Arisu Endo as part of her retirement ceremony on 3rd May. Saiki and Endo both came from Cheer♡1 and were even in the same “Yellow” role of the group. In fact, it was because of Saiki that Endo became a wrestler in the first place.

The Golden Week pro wrestling schedule is about to begin or already begun depending on what companies you follow. I’m feeling antsy about it this year because over the last few days several wrestlers from across the scene have tested positive for covid. I wouldn’t be surprised if there will be more wrestlers getting sick and pulling out of these upcoming shows. Fingers crossed that everyone stays safe over the busiest time of the year in puroresu.

Earlier this week Moeka Haruhi tested positive for covid and missed the Pocchari Joshi show. She will also be absent from this show. Yuu Yamagata takes her place in the mixed tag match. It’s a chance for HARUKAZE to show her first hand how much she has grown since they were last together.

A donation box for Shinjiro Otani will be set up in the venue. Ganbare☆Pro will also be selling Otani portraits with all proceeds going toward his medical expenses.

The aftermath of Korakuen Hall will be filled with matches based on the results of that show. Saki Akai & Yuki Kamifuku wanted to team together so they will get a match against Momoiro Sparkling. It will be interesting to see how Akai and Miyu Yamashita will act towards each other. Their history in Tokyo Joshi Pro has been retconned into Yamashita feuding with Sakisama. But if anyone asks one doesn’t have anything to do with the other, wink wink.

5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Tatsuhito Takaiwa (c) Vs Yumehito Imanari

The contract for the main event has been signed but Yumehito Imanari is looking out of his depth. Tatsuhito Takaiwa tricked him into lowering his guard so he could hit him with a Lariat during the signing. He previously beat Imanari to become the Spirit Of Ganbare Title but that was part of a tournament. Since both wrestlers will be fresh going into the match this time, Takaiwa wonders if the true champion is going to be determined.

Match #4 will not be happening. Shinjiro Otani suffered a scary injury at yesterday’s ZERO1 show in Sumo Hall when he took a German Suplex into the turnbuckles. He is still conscious but hasn’t been able to move his limbs since. There is no official diagnosis yet but Otani’s wrestling career might be over.

An old friend of Ken Ohka has come to offer him guidance. Muscle Sakai misses the days when Ganbare☆Pro was built around Ohka and wants him to headline Ganpro’s biggest show in Ota Ward Gymnasium this Summer. But Ohka is nowhere near ready for it so Sakai will wrestle him to bring that spark back and prepare him for his return to the main event.

Yuna Manase got a surprise visit from a friend too. Yuki Kamifuku is calling by Ganpro for a visit so she can catch up with her. However Kamifuku is now besties with Asuka while Manase has formed the Nippon Ganbare Union with YuuRI. If that’s not enough, one of YuuRI’s first matches in Ganpro was a disappointed effort against Asuka. This is her chance to make up for it by putting up a better fight.

Takeshita To AEW, Endo 10th Anniversary, Saiki Announces Retirement

It was revealed yesterday that Konosuke Takeshita is travelling to America to wrestle for AEW next month. He wrestled three matches for them in Jacksonville last year and it only motivated him to come back even bigger. His goal this time is to wrestle on TV shows like Dynamite and Rampage as well as to become a champion against the high level of competition AEW has. His stay will last a lot longer with no return date planned at the moment. He claims he won’t be using a return ticket, he only has an outbound flight in his itinerary. Although he promised he will find a way to come back to DDT for big matches every now and then. He said he is grateful to both DDT and AEW for giving him this opportunity. Takeshita is promoting this as Chapter 2 of his wrestling career.

7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Yuki Aino

The new Princess Of Princess Champion doesn’t have to wait long for her first defence. Shoko Nakajima takes on Yuki Aino who is forging a new path on her own now that her sister has graduated. She is confident she can take the lead of Tokyo Joshi Pro like the previous champions have done before her.

Arisuzu aren’t shy about showing off their bond and think it is strong enough to dethrone The Magical Sugar Rabbits. The Princess Tag Team Champions are using their reign to show TJPW a whole new world filled with glitter and sparkles but they warn their challengers there is so much more to them than that.

It’s been a year and a half since Saki Akai was last in TJPW. She pops by again to team with Yuki Arai.

Can’t ask for a tougher second match for Juria Nagano. It’s Karate versus Karate when she has to take on Miyu Yamashita.

This will be Marika Kobashi’s last match in Korakuen Hall.

5. Ganpro Specialty Two Major Singles Match: Ken Ohka Vs Mizuki Watase

A fired up Mizuki Watase wants to climb to the top of Ganbare☆Pro because he doesn’t think Ken Ohka is on that level anymore. He pinned him over the weekend so they’re going to have a singles match to settle their beef.

We’re going to get a look through DDT’s history of women’s wrestling with Bambi & Cherry coming back for a special match. Saki Akai & Maya Yukihi have been looking for a reason to team together and this one seems to be just right.

El Unicorn returns after missing the Sumo Hall show with covid. He and Ilusion still have their rivalry building up. It is fitting to see that mixed together with the Toui Kojima and Yuya Koroku feud.

DDT “MEGA MAX BUMP 2022 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 01/05/2022
Yokohama Budokan

1. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Asuka
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Yuki Ueno

With Takeshita taking a leave of absence to go wrestling in AEW soon, Yuki Ueno is looking to pick up the torch and be the man to carry DDT into the future instead of Endo. It will be the first defence of the new KO-D Openweight Title belt too.

MAO is also showing a desire to wrestle abroad again and he wants the DDT Universal Title to help him do it. He challenged anyone with an international presence to face him in a title match. Asuka accepted the challenge, pointing out a recent tour of Italy and an upcoming tour of the UK as suitable qualifications to get the title shot.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Tatsuhito Takaiwa (c) Vs Yumehito Imanari

It was Yumehito Imanari who Tatsuhito Takaiwa defeated to be crowned the first Spirit Of Ganbare Champion. Enough time has passed for Imanari to take another crack at it. He is already playing mind games by claiming the hype video for the match will only feature footage of himself and there will be no clips of Takaiwa at all.

It’s Christmas 2000 A New Number One!

Over in ZERO1 today, Yumehito Imanari claimed a big prize by winning the Furinkazan Tag Tournament with Shinjiro Otani. By winning the tournament the two of them are now the NWA Intercontinental Tag Team Champions!

Sanshiro Takagi picked Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno chose Konosuke Takeshita, pro wrestling writer Kagehiro Osano predicts Akiyama and Tetsuya Endo couldn’t make a decision. Endo thinks fans will choose Takeshita, wrestlers will choose Akiyama and parents will choose Akari (Makoto Oishi’s one year old daughter).

DAMNATION has a new member. It’s Yuji Hino! He’s here to pick up the slack while Daisuke Sasaki is recovering from injury.

Endo is currently positioned in the same role and unit colour (yellow) that Saiki had back when she was part of the group. Saiki’s advice to Endo is to be energetic because that is how pro wrestlers become strong. She explained to her how to train muscles particularly in the legs and waist. When Endo asked about eating habits, Saiki encouraged her to take lots of protein. Endo came out of the training session wanting to be an energetic wrestler just like Saiki!

Maki Itoh called her team the new Itoh Respect Army after their win. However Yuki Kamifuku & Raku declined the membership offer. They like Itoh but don’t believe she is the cutest in the world. Itoh was upset until she saw Chris Brookes in the room. She brought him into the ring and told everyone the NEO Itoh Respect Army still exists. Brookes put on the t-shirt to prove it.

There was Reika Saiki merchandise sold at the show with the proceeds going towards her recovery bills. Her jaw had been wired shut but it was recently removed and she is in the next stage of rehabilitating her injury.

5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title – Itabashi Three Major Singles Match: Shuichiro Katsumura (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

Whoever leaves the show as the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion is guaranteed to defend it in Sumo Hall this November. Keisuke Ishii was the champion before Shuichiro Katsumura won it off him back in January. Since then Katsumura has defended it five times. If he wins here then he will tie Ishii’s amount of successful defences.

Just to be clear, Kenichiro Arai is the Toryumon graduate and Yumehito Imanari is the art student.

Shota and Shinichiro Tominaga face each other in a battle between damaged ACLs.

Originally Koharu Hinata was booked for the show but she is now unable to appear. In a completely unrelated matter Miss Koharu became available so she takes her place.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “MY LIFE; LET’S ENJOY!!”, 19/10/2019
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Misao (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa

Sakisama has an appreciation for other beautiful people which is why she has at least a little respect for Yuki Kamifuku. Maybe she would have the same for Mina Shirakawa if Shirakawa ever stops trying to rap. But then again rapping is how the Cat’s Pye duo got their Princess Tag Team Titles shot.

Nakajima’s excursion to Mexico with CMLL will be over by the time this show takes place. No word yet on if she will be on this show but it’s likely. Tokyo Joshi have confirmed she will not be on the 9th, 10th and 16th November shows.

The Princess Of Princess Title match for the show is set. Nakajima wanted Yuka Sakazaki to be her opponent. This match takes place two days before Nakajima goes to Mexico on her excursion so she is extra motivated to win and bring the title with her to CMLL.
