00:00There's something I want you to see!
00:04Yes!
00:06Ryogoku has been decided!
00:08Yes!
00:12Since the day I made my debut in DDT's Ryogoku,
00:15I've been wanting to do Tokyo Juice Pro-Wrestling on my own.
00:22I'm really happy to be able to go to Ryogoku with my current teammates.
00:41In this year's 1.4 Korakuen,
00:43Yamashita, who defended Princess of Princess Ozan from Mizuki,
00:47challenged the next challenger without hesitation.
00:51Nakajima!
00:55In Ryogoku,
00:57the only one I want to fight is Nakajima.
01:02It's so natural, there's no reason for it.
01:05There's only Nakajima.
01:17When I was about to give up on my dream,
01:29I was wondering if I could do pro-wrestling.
01:32I did a lot of research,
01:34but I wasn't very tough, so I was scared.
01:38At that time, she found an unchanged pro-wrestling group.
01:43She said she wanted to be an idol in the center.
01:49I'm Yamashita.
01:54She met a friend who gave up halfway through
01:57and dyed the world vividly.
02:00However, she realized that she could only see her back.
02:08I may have been the strongest so far,
02:11but from now on, I'll be the strongest.
02:16The most important thing for me is to beat Yamashita.
02:32I'm thinking about going all out,
02:35but the higher I get as a champion,
02:39the more interesting it will be for me as a Tokyo girl.
02:47What's scarier than a change is to stop.
02:52Stronger.
02:54Higher.
02:56Half of you are Tokyo girls, right?
03:00That's amazing.
03:03I think it's because I'm as important as I am.
03:09I'm about to cry.
03:13I really don't want anyone to bet on me.
03:18A bouquet of flowers in one room.
03:21The time we spent together is eternal.
03:23Apparently, it doesn't matter at all.
03:25I don't need a mirror ball.
03:29Where are you two going from now on?
03:31Your back is far away.
03:34Tokyo Girls' Pro-Wrestling, created by girls who were nothing.
03:39Here, everyone is the proof of their existence.

06:53Nakajima Shoko vs. Shoko Nakajima.
06:55Nakajima Shoko vs. Shoko Nakajima.
06:57Nakajima Shoko vs. Shoko Nakajima.
06:59Cooler than the other side of the pillow.
07:06Incredible striker, powerful champion, Yamashita versus the most creative wrestler.
07:17Nakajima.
07:47That's a quote actually. So it did literally say there's nobody else I can even think of having this match with.
07:56They've met quite a few times in the past down the way, often exchanging the Princess of Princess title in the process.
08:03January 4th, 2016, Miyu beat Shoko to win the Princess of Princess Championship.
08:083rd of May, 2019, Shoko beat Miyu to win the Princess of Princess Championship.
08:1429th of August, 2020, Shoko beat Miyu in the Tokyo Princess Cup.
08:18And now here we are today.
08:20Well, history is an indication. We might see a title change.
08:26The history of this title began by Yamashita versus Nakajima.
08:31As Chris told now, 2016, January 4th, Korakuen Hall show.
08:38This is the first Korakuen Hall show for the Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling.
08:42This is a vacant championship match, Princess of Princess Championship match.
08:47Yamashita beat Nakajima.
08:49This is the beginning of the Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling top title.
08:55And if Nakajima will be able to end Yamashita's championship reign,
09:00or Yamashita will prove that she's definitely the undisputed champion again,
09:06so the outcome of the match will determine the future development for Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling.
09:14This is going to be a very crucial match.
09:18I'm very surprised that Yamashita seems to be very cautious getting close to Nakajima.
09:25Even though Yamashita is a striker, Nakajima seems to have taken the center of the ring and is pushing the action,
09:33which is quite contrary to what their style would imply.
09:43So this is the third match putting the Princess Championship on the line between Yamashita and Nakajima.
09:51As we told before, Yamashita versus Nakajima, 2016.
09:58And the second time was 2019, Korakuen Hall show, Nakajima won against Yamashita, getting the Princess Championship.
10:09Very nice transition between Nakajima and Yamashita going back and forth.
10:14Nakajima comes on top, takes the dropkick and controls the pace.
10:21The challenger pushing the action.
10:24Oh, and here the kicks fly.
10:30Strong middle kick to start the action of Sobato.
10:39Oh, hard kick to the back by the pink striker, fitting of her name.
10:47Shoko Nakajima in trouble now.
10:49Interesting to note that after this match was made, Nakajima cut her hair off.
10:53Maybe almost somewhat kind of going back to the roots of when her and Yamashita came to this building the first time.
11:00Of course was blonde, but with the much shorter hair.
11:04Like this past few months, because I've seen Nakajima quite close by.
11:08She actually was a part of the 200 episode of ChocoPro.
11:12But she seems to be really, like I've never seen Nakajima more focused.
11:16I've never seen her more like, to almost start thinking that she is looking for a fundamental change in her career almost.
11:25That's how focused she looked to me ever since I've been seeing her.
11:28Her comments on Twitter, everything included.
11:35Oh, nice, beautiful.
11:38Oh, nice, beautiful.
11:40Corkscrew flying elbow from Nakajima.
11:43I think it's also something nice and wonderful sentiment to the fact that on a show that's had so many over the top elaborate entrances today.
11:50These two just came back to Ryogoku the same way they did nine years ago as is.
11:54Oh, what a counter.
11:57Never expected.
11:59Nakajima might be out cold.
12:01She is out cold.
12:03She is out cold.
12:05Nakajima is out.
12:09Yamashita took Nakajima out.
12:12Just talking about the lack of a fancy entrance and then cut right off there.
12:17But also to note as well.
12:19She's out.
12:21She's out.
12:23Nakajima is completely down.
12:25Still moving, you see some movement in the fingertips.
12:30Wanted to make a note that it's nice also the referee Daisuke Kiso is here.
12:34Original Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling member.
12:36Assigned to this title match.
12:40Can't be an issue now though.
12:42This could be the end of it.
12:44We're up to what, six is it already?
12:46Seven.
12:50Crowd in Ryogoku.
12:52Getting behind Shoko Nakajima.
12:55Yamashita.
12:57Yamashita.
13:03Nakajima seems to be dazed.
13:06And you can really tell by the lack of the entrance where the focus in this match is.
13:15And the relationship between these two and the action in the ring.
13:18Seventeen.
13:20Yamashita brings her in.
13:22Yamashita brings her in.
13:24Not wanting to win via count out.
13:28Oh no no.
13:30Barely.
13:32Shoko still looks like she's not in a good place right now.
13:36No.
13:38Kiso getting in and checking.
13:40On the condition of the big kaiju.
13:44Big kaiju, big monster.
13:46Yamashita locked in on a prey.
13:49Very ready to finish this one off.
13:52Nakajima is still out.
13:57That roundhouse kick absolutely wiped out Shoko.
14:02Must have looked at the waker up a bit there with that kick.
14:07Such a casual soccer kick.
14:10Nakajima is still in the match.
14:12Just gets the shoulder up for Shoko Nakajima.
14:18But she does not look with it.
14:23Sugamaki Tana in the corner of Yamashita.
14:27Temba in the corner of Nakajima.
14:29Misawa at ringside too.
14:33Oh.
14:34Anakonda Weiss takes down.
14:37And locked in in the center of the ring.
14:40It's been a very crisp match since the start of it.
14:47Very stiff.
14:49Nakajima struggling.
14:52Still not too much power in her feet, I must say.
14:55Right.
14:58She's getting closer to the rope.
15:01Nakajima.
15:03Nakajima.
15:05Nakajima.
15:07Nakajima.
15:09Nakajima.
15:10Still in trouble.
15:12As she makes it to the third round.
15:19It's the break.
15:22That one kick had changed this match completely.
15:25You talk about a pendulum swinging and changing the dynamics.
15:30Nakajima out on her feet right now.
15:33Nakajima looks vulnerable.
15:34I think it's gonna be bad, he might see a stoppage.
15:37Yeah, Kisa really needs to consider whether or not it's okay to let this continue.
15:41Yeah, that's right.
15:43Oh my god!
15:46The tears from the opening video quickly go away when that bell sounds.
15:50Miyamasa is a different person, a different animal, once the bell rings.
15:55Once again?
15:56Oh my god!
15:59Miyamasa looks so relentless.
16:02No mercy.
16:06There's the two, but Nakajima still hangs on.
16:10She's a champion, she has been always the centerpiece of Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling.
16:15She's carrying the promotion all over the years.
16:23Good kick.
16:24Good kick.
16:30Two.
16:34Finally hear some change of expression on Nakajima.
16:39Yamashita has made the title what it is today.
16:44So she's very proud of being a champion.
16:48She's carrying Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling forever.
16:54Oh.
16:56But Nakajima looking for the hitting back.
16:58Oh, but not yet.
17:02Incredible strikes, just on point.
17:06Dangerous, powerful by Nakajima.
17:09Beautiful, and the champion is still standing.
17:12Still standing.
17:14Another one takes her down.
17:19Okay, it's gonna be the turning point.
17:21Oh, no, no, no.
17:22Going for it again.
17:24Beautiful low pay.
17:26Suicidal.
17:30Back straight in.
17:33Another one.
17:34Oh, twice.
17:41Shoko willing to risk it all, that was scary.
17:45But gets it.
17:46Yamashita down.
17:47Yamashita down.
17:49So Nakajima is risking everything she has.
17:53Kaiju is roaring, people.
17:59That's what Kaiju looks like.
18:01Just throwing it all.
18:04I was actually hesitant to say this when I was saying that she looks so focused.
18:08But it really seems like Nakajima is okay with everything ending today.
18:13As long as she can get past today, she does not even seem to care if it all ends.
18:21Putting everything out there, everything on the line.
18:25Waist lock now, rolls into the ropes.
18:28Corner roll, but Yamashita holds on.
18:30Drop kicks it down to the middle rope.
18:32Now, Kaiju head esteem.
18:346 for 9, but you.
18:37Oh, what a training choke.
18:416 for 9.
18:42It goes for the girl.
18:43And gets it.
18:48Kaba.
18:50On the 2.
18:54Oh, Yamashita looks desperate.
18:57Purist when it comes to wrestling.
19:05Just the leg, still hanging on to that headlock.
19:12Up top.
19:13Beautiful move, so it lands on her feet.
19:16And still takes that head.
19:21Outskicking.
19:32There it is.
19:33And now.
19:35Still called on through.
19:37Yamajima made that easy.
19:40Managed to come up with that rope kick.
19:42I think the amount of adrenaline rushing through Yamajima's head right now.
19:53Is a preposterous.
19:56Oh.
19:58Now.
20:00Headlock.
20:01Putting a lot of pressure on the neck and shoulder joints.
20:03Trying to get the wind out of the champion.
20:14Yamashita struggling to the third rope.
20:21This seems to be turning into a classic.
20:24Oh, and beautiful transition right into capturing both arms with legs.
20:29Scissors and dragging the neck.
20:31Incredible.
20:34Agility by the challenger.
20:37Brutal looking submission.
20:48Oh my god, just dragging her away.
20:51Yamashita has to work for every inch she gains in this.
20:54Yamashita has to work for every inch she gains in this.
21:10Maki Ito assuring the champion that it's okay.
21:16Yamajima now setting her up on the top.
21:18In the red corner.
21:20Going up perhaps looking for that avalanche frankensteiner that she likes to use.
21:26Certainly looks as such.
21:29Oh shoot.
21:32Yamashita powering on, holding on.
21:35And now up she goes.
21:38Trying to get on the shoulder maybe.
21:41Bad intentions from Miyamashita.
21:43Maybe looking for that attitude adjustment.
21:46Oh shoot.
21:50Oh god damn.
21:52That move is terrifying.
21:56My god.
21:59No regard for oneself or another.
22:03Cover.
22:06And the challenger kicks up.
22:08She kicks up.
22:11All is on the line everybody.
22:13I thought it must be ending of the match, but not yet.
22:20Yoko firmly cheering these two on.
22:30That was a big, big maneuver out of the champion.
22:42Just slugs her.
22:44And not too much behind that elbow from the challenger.
22:51Champion.
22:55Big elbow.
22:58And a return from Yamashita.
23:02Yamashita's crowd in Rinkoku.
23:04Clapping along with the strokes.
23:08Yamajima still can't believe it.
23:10She seems to be going for it.
23:12Yamajima still can't believe it.
23:14She seems to get behind a lot of...
23:16It's a kind of momentum behind those elbows.
23:18Battle of nerves.
23:21That attitude adjustment from the top rope.
23:25Seems to have really done the damage.
23:29So both want to win at all costs.
23:42She's doing it.
23:55Oh my goodness.
23:58That'll change the pace.
24:00Breathtakingly.
24:12Ah!
24:19And here we see some fire back from the challenger.
24:22Taking the heat and using the momentum.
24:24Oh!
24:26Right into it.
24:28Right into it.
24:30How many head kicks is she going to take?
24:36Yamashita is giving head kicks out for free today.
24:40There's that attitude adjustment now again in the ring.
24:42Oh, but she'll go out onto her feet.
24:44Nice northern light suplex.
24:46Doesn't hold on with the bridge.
24:48However, scuba rope goes for it a second time.
24:51And there's the bridge.
24:53Kiso down, count of two.
24:55Only two.
24:58Only two.
25:00Good kick out from the champion.
25:02Nakajima now.
25:04Ah!
25:08Trying to will herself to her feet.
25:12Charging in, but no one...
25:14Oh!
25:16Head kick from the back.
25:18Oh!
25:20The drama in this match.
25:22Nakajima might be out again.
25:25I think she's already been out once this match.
25:27She might be out again.
25:29Yamashita going for the German.
25:31Nakajima, though, rolling under and through.
25:34Two count kick, but catches.
25:36Oh, no, but...
25:39All the way.
25:41Oh, what a beautiful German suplex.
25:43Oh, beautiful and powerful German suplex.
25:45Oh, no!
25:47Nakajima kicks out.
25:49I mean, what the hell is it going to take?
25:51Chris Brooks.
25:53Yamashita is fired up now.
25:55She smells blood.
25:57Yamashita looks like she's closing in on her victory.
26:00Nakajima keeps doing her best
26:02with roll-ups and managing
26:04any offense that she can in counters,
26:06but Yamashita has her lined up
26:08for the skull kick now
26:10when Nakajima gets to her feet.
26:12Oh, Brown has first
26:14brush rabbit heat, perhaps,
26:16but Shoko slips out of the way.
26:18619 connects.
26:25Oh!
26:27Oh!
26:29Just too much time.
26:31Shoko looked like she was perhaps
26:33going to collect the bearings and hit the ropes,
26:35but Yamashita with a skull kick to the back of the head.
26:37Now going to go for it again,
26:39but ducked by Nakajima.
26:41She's got a hook deep.
26:43Oh!
26:452.9
26:47Yeah, Yamashita is stealing the match.
26:49Quickly.
26:51Oh, DDT.
26:53Grinder.
26:55They're in position. Nakajima going up.
26:57What's she looking for here?
26:59Nakajima's time is coming.
27:01She has taken too much damage to the head.
27:03She needs to close this one out.
27:05What is she going for?
27:07Oh,
27:09big senton.
27:11Hook deep, 2.
27:13Oh!
27:15She made it.
27:17God damn it.
27:19Big senton.
27:21Nakajima gets all out.
27:25Oh my God.
27:27Unbelievable.
27:29I don't remember the last time
27:31I jumped this high, I have to imagine.
27:35My God.
27:39Shoko, Nakajima.
27:41He's upset.
27:45Nakajima would be able to change the course of...
