Tokyo Joshi Pro is in the US again as part of “The Collective” for a morning matinee today. This is one of two events for TJPW this weekend in the US, the other being a crossover event Saturday with the women of Game Changer Wrestling. 6 matches are on tap for today including participation from semi-regular outsiders and fan favorites including Riho, VertVixen and Viva Van.
There have been last-minute changes to the event because unfortunately Max The Impaler and Nao Kakuta are now off the events. Max is off due to coronavirus, which sadly deprives us of a Wasteland Pom Party reunion as they were to have teamed with Pom Harajuku to face Mizuki & VertVixen. Aja Kong is the replacement. Kakuta did not travel from Japan due to illness. She was to have teamed with Raku to face Yuki Kamifuku & Viva Van. Trish Adora is the replacement.
Today’s event will be held at Penns Landing Caterers in Philadelphia, PA and can be watched LIVE on TrillerTV/FITE in English only with a Triller+ subscription, available for $7.99/month or $69.99/year. You also get unlimited on demand replays. It will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at a later date. Because the early start time conflicts with my work schedule and I will have to watch the live stream on my phone due to it, results/updates may be delayed at times. With 6 matches and in spite of possibly no time limits, due to other events possibly at the venue I expect the event’s total running time to be just over 90 minutes, no more than 2 hours.
Today’s lineup:
Hyper Misao vs. Billie Starkz
Shoko Nakajima vs. Rhio
Yuki Kamifuku & Viva Van vs. Raku & Trish Adora
Suzume & Arisu Endo vs. Yuki Aino & Zara Zakher
Aja Kong & Pom Harajuku vs. Mizuki & Vertvixen
Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh vs. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe

Updates below will (hopefully) begin at 8 AM PT/11 AM ET.
8 AM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now…
We are LIVE from Penns Landing Caterers in Philadelphia, PA. No Sayuri Namba today, the regular GCW ring announcer is handling the duties. No commentary yet.
The paid attendance will be announced after the event. It’s a legit advance sellout so based on yesterday’s events that should be 750. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was indeed 750)
Up Up Girls out first, just Miu Watanabe & Raku.
The matches begin at 8:10 AM PT/11:10 AM ET. Your hosts are Dave Prazak & Veda Scott. And we have STREAMERS!!!

Result: Mizuki & Vertvixen beat Aja Kong & Pom Harajuku. Mizuki pinned Harajuku with Cutie Special.
Match 5 Shoko Nakajima vs. Rhio (I unknowingly stated the wrong Riho earlier, this isn’t the Japan/AEW one but the UK one)

Main Event: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh vs. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe
Result: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh beat Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe. Yamashita pinned Tatsumi after Skull Kick.
Despite no Sayuri Namba and the missing wrestlers who were dearly missed, this was still a fun event that showcased what TJPW is all about. If you missed it, catch a replay on Triller+ if you subscribe, otherwise it will be on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at some point. The entire event ran 110 minutes.
End Show.
The next event is GCW vs. TJPW tomorrow, a crossover event with Game Changer Wrestling. Live streaming on Triller/FITE via the Triller+ subscription package will begin at 11:30 AM PT/2:30 PM ET. I plan to do live results but they may be delayed due to potential schedule conflicts (at worst I’ll join the event in progress and watch from the beginning).
