Line number three the Tokyo Dome was their Kingdom irisa Husky and my you a tiny defeated Julia and Anna camera in the dark match on the first night of the wrestle Kingdom at the Tokyo Dome. Not sure the match will ever see the light of day officially, but it did seem to receive pretty decent reviews from fans in the crowd not all who were stardom or Joshi wrestling fans. There's also talk about took New Japan running in Madison Square Garden and you got to think that the to start them women will be on that show as Well in more start a new Zoe attack continues their rebuild on January 3rd sake Kashima became part of O8 @ I pour my you can't keep any friends because she even said she was tired of living in my you Shadow and now she's starting to dress like Natsu which is not a bad thing and it's fun to see the new away totai reforming after losing his new key and Miyagi and about to lose could get sued as well and finally in stardom news.

Yama's on Layla Hirsch and Zoe Sky will face each other in round robin format the top two will fight for the high-speed Grand Prix championship Shibuya the show of the week. This week is the Tokyo Joshi Pro Show from January for that cork and haul it aired live on the DDT streaming service. Mr. Hawk who runs the DDT? Score Eng Twitter handle is a godsend when watching these shows. He live tweets translation. So I know what's going on in the open era who ruin Echo and suzune defeated my Hiroki are you and Cena shiori? I was a good opener fun opener. It was seen as debut. She did a fine job in her Opening match. She took the loss but pretty high-profile place to make your debut and she did fine. The second match was pretty interesting. They had a pinata hanging over the ring and the loser has to change their name for a month and shoko Nakajima defeated hyper missile. This is a bit of a cluster at times. They were both were able to bring a weapon to the ring and missile brought. Mr. Cota as her weapon the most powerful man in Tokyo Joshi Pro. She was able to convince him to do that after she stole his Idol concert tickets and bribed him to be a weapon and it would give it back after the match shoko brought some Plastic Godzilla type Kaiju figures there's some funny spots in the match. She know they landed onto the those plastic figures and I'm sure that didn't feel too good. It's all so cute spot where Miss out had rolled up Nakajima to blanket trapping her for a while Nakajima eventually got to the ladder and pulled out the Sash and now hyper missile must change her name for a month. The next match was to of the tallest women in Joshi wrestling wrestling for the DDT Ironman heavyweight title sake I Chi hwan That belt out of DDT show on this Tokyo just Repro show. She defeated Yuki come a fuku again. The two tallest woman in Joshi wrestling. There's a lot of legs in this match. They had a really good match. What about nine minutes both had near Falls near the end, but sake ended up getting the win and the to embraced after the match. It was a really good match. It might have been Yuki's best match. I've seen her in a while and the crowd got really behind her which was nice to see the next match is a six-man match, which is a pretty D random team of Asia Kong Palm Harajuku and rocku defeated me to share a kawamura Ami, mayumi and Unum and a saying about 13 minutes before the match in the back Sasha kaun. Kick spin sake to become the DDT Iron Man heavyweight and Iron Man heavy metal champion, and she would be defending it in this match. Ah, she can't move as well. She used to but she was in there trying and the crowd seemed really into her and enjoyed her being in this match and just the fun of seeing Asha Kong team with Harajuku and Rocco was Fun. She did do the good night express with Roku and palm Aza palm and rock who got the win and after the match in the back sake surprisingly pin Dasha to win back the Iron Man title. The next match was the match of the night. I believe really really excellent match. Sorry, if he did not see me mocking about 12 minutes these to beat the snot out of each other. This was not to not soomi's first batch back after about four months dealing with a leg injury and she kind of flexed it. The match started just to remind the crowd, you know, she's coming back from the injury these two really tore into each other. A lot of forearms lot of kicks great back and forth. You can see why sorry so valued abroad and in Japan as well. She's really so young and really really talented. I'm not see me showed. She's not very far behind. She was able to hang the sorry, but it was an excellent match match of the night. One of the probably the top matches of the the week for Joshi wrestling. The next match was Thunder Osa defeating Mizuki in nine minutes. This was a showcase to show what kind of a monster Thunder Rosa is, like I said earlier she's improved. So much in the last year, but end of the match, you know, the way she won that she was going to be challenging for one of the belts. She look good. Not a super duper to match but Thunder Rosa look really good and it achieved what it needed to with showing Thunder roses the dominant force and in the next match the international princess title match mockito defeated Hikari Noah the one and only the komachi to sing her way out. She got a huge reception from the crowd. You can see a ton of foreigners in the first few rows this for sure elevated Hikari even In the loss. She had a terrific match with Ito I Ito such a good character, but I feel her wrestling is just gets better and better. I think it's becoming an underrated almost for her. Now. She's improved so much the Ito special gets Maki the win and after the match doesn't DeRosa comes out and challenges Ito for the international princess title. And as you heard earlier in the show, you know, Thunder Osa wins the belt the next day and go out of your way to see the pictures of Maki after the match where she loses the Thunder Rossa. There's definitely ugly cry there. She was pretty emotional. After losing the title in a semi-main event me you want to not be Andre kotetsu me defeated the bucket retsu sisters. Nodoka Tenma and Yuki, I know and under for just under 14 minutes. I'm more and more convinced me you want to nabe is going to be a superstar. She does that giant swing faster than he could have ever seen before. This is the third time the Baka retsu sisters have challenge for the titles and have come up short pun intended and in the big Main Event yuccas akazake defeated me Yamashita to retain her princess of Princess title in about 20 minutes. They fought all over correct. A halt if you haven't seen it yet watched a clip of me. Oh sliding me you sliding down the steps at Kirk and Hall on a table. She looked legit legitimately terrified these two had a terrific match as expected. I thought there would be a title change but there was not you had to fly pretty far and twist pretty far to get that magical girl Splash at the end to pick up the win and she those two are terrific. They have good chemistry together. I think overall the show was tremendous probably give it a 9 out of 10 if I had to give it a rating.

All right in 2010 Eve right girls wrestling a feminist Punk Rock wrestling promotion based in England was born and tomorrow night on fight TV. You can catch wrestle queendom three. I'd like to welcome to the show Dan Reed. Thank you for joining me. Thanks for having us. The performance so it's never it's not like that. I'm worrying on that side. Like I'm not having to worry about performers actually getting stopped. You're more worried about massive delays. Do you know what I mean? And there was there was a slight delay which caused the a missed connection. But but they just sort them out and got a Lon it's one of those old things. That's like when you've been promoted as long as I have you realized what in case that happens who's the best Airlines to fly them with who are the best people to put with? You know what I mean? Yeah, so Today there was a Miss connection, but it all got sort of like it made the difference only made like 50 minutes difference. So I'm I was relieved when that was the one that was a case. I like when like Caribou she missed his connection and I got stressed to heck because he can't let me know that he missed his connection and coder is known for being somewhat of a Wanderer. So and we were late getting there because we've got stuck in traffic so we would get we get there late. He's not there, and we're like I'll know we've had messages from all these friends and to parents saying, you know, keep an eye on him. He just disappears at times. So I'm thinking up crumbs. He's gone. God knows we're in London. There's a wildfire of Russia. Thankfully. He was actually just, you know list of connecting flight and he was on the next one. So, thanks. All right. So you guys I mean are based out of England but you guys are part of the Joshi wrestling scene because you guys book stomach Joshi Talent. Yeah. Why do you why do you guys book so much Joshi Talent or it's just kind of like we're is you know, I grew up, you know being a fan of Joshi wrestling, you know, I've gotten to take training seen in the mid-90s. So, you know getting our Japan women, you know shows was A regular thing for us, you know, Japan women ECW michinoku Pro those who are all Japan, you know, those were you know, my my regular gets on the take trade-ins thing. So it just made sense when we were doing this that of course, I'm going to want to work with, you know, the winning races in Japan. The whole idea is that you you know, you present some of the best and you present, you know, You know some of the best, you know of right now of the past and in the future and so that's always been a key in Emily my wife who runs. He's with me. She was a trainee herself for a long while she was hugely inspired by obviously the drazi seen it's not like it was a lot of this, you know, and on the western side her to be inspired by specifically she was inspired by Okay, come on both short specifically and assuming Yaga and yeah, it's just an actual thing. So I like we went off the show in 2010 and in 2011. We were working with ice ribbon. It was just it was always going to be there's always going to be my life. So, how did you guys get? How did you get rich the gap between, you know wanting to have them on there and actually reaching out to them and making it happen. I would like to reach out to be you know, so like it's going to sound like something out of a sadist. I'm known over there for working with a number of international performers. And so and Eve had a good rap in terms of you know, what the shows were like what kind of promise we allow performance with donut. Well, you know like the working with people so do the students really easy because they played on the rich again. I see. Have you kosaka sake and mockito there now? Hello. So what how did you get the relationship with Tokyo Joshi Pro to bring these two over this time? Really really? Or the future recently you guys brought purposely on shows you kind of bring like certain cruise over at one time and not mix the cruise up to much. Since 2011 has been a regular, you know for like nine years nearly. So it's not you know, when Emily was coming over there wasn't a gown Seward's you know, she was running a nice room and then when she came and you know, I mean even had a run as the you Campion know back in 2012 2013. So it's you know, I love getting with my heart if I think anyone that goes there he goes. Sorry, well at least. Mia's been a part of the roster for over eight years and then we went over to Japan last year, you know, we saw Mason Ruger and she's amazing and it's like you can see this come on. It's just like a natural, you know, like the most she's just incredible. So it's just like it just made sense that will see one coming up with, you know, we always have a strong International presence as well as you I wanted made a be a part of that. She brought something different. And just like jazz to go. I mean it's the idea of like doing Mesa Ruger versus Jazz. That was amazing. That was amazing. That's my mindset man. I like doing stuff this different like, you know, I like when you do the stuff that people want to see it as the obvious like that this weekend not paying down that, you know, Martin aramaki is going to be incredible, but it's also good to you know, throw people that are Polar Opposites. I'm Ian Jazz was just a whole world of fun. Tell me about that. The phenomenon that is Lulu pencil why all she got was actually received a pencil is a mama like 90% of the audience loved loved. I love personally I adore a pencil. I love the fact that she's a prime example. This passive Tabor and they're the reason why I started this podcast. Because I wanted to share the doesn't get the credit and respect that she deserves because she has had a far bigger impact on the dressing saying that I think wrestling fans understand I like and I love the guys iuw but I don't think it presented any the correct way. You know, I think I kind of missed missed a beat there with her because she's I've never been a show where I mean hasn't gotten over it. Just let me be honest, you know, don't don't direct or try to you know, leave her down one way, you know, you know talk to Carl. I've never seen a show that so it's really cool to finally see like a work that she's put her in no start to get more recognition because Let's take a look at the Russell Queen them card real quick. It sounds like it sounds like you have your hands full over there with those couple though. The maquis in UK. Sorry for this. No, no, no, don't say sorry at all. It's this is awesome. All right, so talk about some of the bigger matches for Eve not the from The Outsiders, but for the Irregulars, you know that the whole show there's always there's always It's always interesting, you know first time matches on so, you know, it's for as far as the faithfuls concerned, you know, the evil audience. I think you know the big match so you can check shit. So you too, you know, it's that it's that all you know, all story of, you know, good friends better animals and it's the first time he's to another had a match against one another, you know, some actions like six months. It's you know in the making, you know, they'll be the pre-show package for that will be released on Saturday as well. But those are Max I think you know by being faithful is really looking towards you make sure singing it's one of the things we try to do it even with right with the talent rather than just say right we're going to do this listeners. And so what you often see is the version of Laura dimatteo, they see a need as different to the local Authority Mateo. I see elsewhere and I think that's because of you know working. Let me be more themselves, you know come out and give them no longer matches and time, you know time to tell their story. So I'm really looking forward to that and I think most of the evil dances there's a new tag team titles. No, this is actually the main event of the show. You know, the you Championship is the co-main here Tag Team Championship is the match that we going on last and that's Emma Jane and Giselle sugar versus the white queens versus some abusive complex. You know, I know that we're all trying not to get hit by this giant stage trap at the moment has decided to come down a pedestrian side, which is you know, I caught, you know, some some people like, you know catching titles on Main Event tiles and it's just like because of how West you know, Western wrestling history tag team wrestling but taxing wrestling, you know can be Main Event, you know, because it's just another division so, you know that that's the most I'm Gonna Last unless there's so much Characters in addition to the beauty of North no Diana North Phoenix Diana again. I was going to ask you about her. Yes. Yeah. I know. She's incredible and also, you know prior to that exclusively from the mind of God as ginni versus need a Samuels. An exam I kind of Tweed in the day. This was a kind of a joke Gaijin All-Stars. Yeah, I guess so anyway, you know, so yeah, I like if you watch Josie, you know, you're probably going to know a number of our talent and if you don't get your way. So let's talk about the two. I Joshi performers there like yuccas akazake how familiar were you with her before you brought her over? And then we have the amazing Maki versus Martina, which is when you guys announced that the internet went kind of crazy. There's nothing that I can say to sell them I shouldn't have this. Have you thought that has going to teach my Marquee what dance means? Sorry. I want to thank you for joining the show real excited just to see the show. I've been tweeting about it quite often. I've been plugging it to pretty much every week on the show really excited for it. And you can everybody can listen to it or catch it on fight TV. Yep, it's on fight TV. It's 7:30 start for the for the fight broadcast on Saturday night, and it's only 999 dollars as well. Since actually see ya. beautiful That makes me very happy to here. Honestly, it does. It's like it's like people that don't like the easy. It's like if you need to win in order to get over many really shitty job the exactly well tell marki and Yuka the I wish him the best and we'll be watching on Saturday night. Okay. Thank you so much. I will day. Thank you. Take care. And yeah, thanks for having us.
