Tokyo Joshi Pro - Girls Fight Out #6 (10/29/2017)

2. Ito Respect Army (Maki Ito & Mizuki) vs. Yuki Kamifuki & Yuna Manase

Yuna needs to improve that Raiden Drop. She's probably afraid of hurting her opponents, but come on, it has no impact. Kamifuku performed well.

**

3. Nodoka-oneesan vs. Saki-sama

Good one-sided beatdown. I could watch Saki-sama's control segments all day, that paradise lock into the PK is wicked.

***1/4

4. Nonoko vs. Shoko Nakajima

Shoko is becoming my least favorite TJPW performer to watch, her offense is sloppy and weak and she hasn't shown any signs of improvement. Nonoko's portion was good, the Oppai Driver is an awesome move.

**

5. Azusa Takigawa, Miyu Yamashita & Reika Saiki vs. Rika Tatsumi, Yuka Sakazaki & Yuu

This was a solid build for Reika/Tatsumi. Miyu had fucking awesome segments with Yuka and Yuu; Yuka was out to steal the show as always. Azusa was awful, but I'm happy that she got to main event. She was over. Good main event.

Tokyo Joshi Pro - Smile YES Shinkiba (11/3/2017)

1. Shoko Nakajima vs. Yuki Kamifuku

Kamifuku is learning how to move around the ring better and is wearing smaller cutoff shorts, that's all I got from this. Not a good match.

*

2. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Ito vs. Yuu & Marika Kobashi

The sequence between Yuu and Ito was gripping. I thought Ito could pull it off.

**1/4

3. Azusa Takigawa vs. Nodoka-oneesan

*

4. Saki-sama vs. Mizuki

The struggle that Mizuki was facing was well-told, and Saki-sama's workovers are always compelling. That little interaction between Sama and Ito was great, they need a match together.

***

5. Yuka Sakazaki & Maho Kurone vs. Super Milk Combination (Nonoko & Yuna Manase)

Amazing debut for Super Milk Combination. Yuna looked really motivated, and Nonoko and Yuka were good as always. Maho is obviously the designated fall person, but she was fighting hard. That headscissors counter into the Oppai Driver from Nonoko was nuts. Good stuff.

***3/4

6. TOKYO Princess of Princess Championship: Reika Saiki (c) vs. Rika Tatsumi

Rika has been building the strength of her hip attacks and they were a serious threat to Saiki's title. There's a cool spot where Reika counters one with a kick and ends up hurting herself. This was fantastic; the crowd was hot and the action was engaging and full of emotion.

****1/2

Tokyo Joshi Pro - Smile YES Yokohama (10/14/2017)

2. Miyu Yamashita vs. Nodoka-oneesan vs. Yuna Manase

4. NEO Biishiki-gun (Saki-sama & Masa) vs. Konkatsu-gun (Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko)

5. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Championship Tournament - Final: MiraClians (Yuka Sakazaki & Shoko Nakajima) vs. Dragon Bombers (Rika Tatsumi & Maho Kurone)

***1/4

Tokyo Joshi Pro - YOKOHAMA DE BAKOON! (9/16/2017)

1. Miyu Yamashita vs. Yuki Kamifuku

This was everything I had hoped for, just Miyu putting the beatdown on the rookie. Nice little match.

***1/4

2. Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship: Yuu (c) vs. Nonoko

Yuu has a dangerous arsenal of chops, judo throws and submissions, but Nonoko has her powerful boobs. They were brutalizing each other, and Nonoko shows that she can be just as vicious as Yuu. This was a spectacular 7 minutes.

****1/2

4. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Championship Tournament - Semi-Final: Dragon Bombers (Rika Tatsumi & Maho Kurone) vs. trick student (Yuna Manasa & Marika Kobashi)

**1/4

5. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Championship Tournament - Semi-Final: Ito Respect Army (Maki Ito & Mizuki) vs. MiraClians (Yuka Sakazaki & Shoko Nakajima)

Another great underdog performance from Ito Respect Army.

Tokyo Joshi Pro - SHINKIBA DE BAKOON! (9/9/2017)

3. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Championship Tournament – Round 1C: BRAVE☆MATES (Yuu & Nodoka-oneesan) vs. Dragon Bombers (Rika Tatsumi & Maho Kurone)

***1/4

4. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Championship Tournament - Round 1B: MiraClians (Yuka Sakazaki & Shoko Nakajima) vs. Konkatsu-gun (Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko)

***1/2

5. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Championship Tournament - Round 1A: Ito Respect Army (Maki Ito & Mizuki) vs. Muscle Strikers (Reika Saiki & Miyu Yamashita)

This was one of those matches that is made 10x better due to crowd reaction, 1stRING is hanging on every movement, and the performers were playing to that with very dramatic moments. Mizuki & Ito deliver one of the best underdog performances I've seen this year, it was magnificent.

Tokyo Joshi Pro - Brand New Wrestling ~The Beginning of the New Era~ (8/26/2017)

1. Yuna Manase & Yuki Kamifuku vs. Mizuki & Nonoko

*

2. Idol Lumberjack Death Match (Referee: Sanshiro Takagi): Azusa Takigawa vs. Maki Ito

*1/2

3. Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship: Yuu (c) vs. Nodoka-oneesan vs. Marika Kobashi

This was a fun 3WAY match. I was really into the Marika-Yuu chop battle.

***1/2

4. Shoko Nakajima Vs Solo Darling

**

5. Miyu Yamashita vs. Meiko Satomura

Satomura was mowing down Miyu with kicks, but Miyu manages to cut Satomura off and rallies with head stomps. I liked Miyu's aggression when she locks in the cobra clutch. Satomura gave Miyu more than I expected, so kudos to that.

****

6. Dream Dragon Bombers (Rika Tatsumi, Maho Kurone & Shiro Koshinaka) vs. NEO Biishiki-gun (Saki-sama, Masa & Yukio Saint Laurent)

Koshinaka was the most over performer in the building. I'm liking Yukio in this doctor gimmick. Rika getting her big win over Saki-sama was a nice moment.

***3/4

7. TOKYO Princess of Princess Championship: Yuka Sakazaki (c) vs. Reika Saiki

This is one of those matches that has a gradual build up to a great finishing run, and it makes everything that happened leading up to it worth it.
