After a couple days off for travel and fun exploring Texas, Tokyo Joshi Pro begins the second half of their first US tour today in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area with the third of 4 events. The final push to GRAND PRINCESS ’26 continues today, specifically the Princess Of Princess Championship match between Miu Watanabe & Yuki Arai, and with an extra development yesterday-it already was announced that whoever leaves 3/29 as champion will defend on 4/16 in Las Vegas, NV and the promotion announced who they will defend against…J-Rod. She failed to beat Watanabe for the title before, but who will she face this time?
There have been some last-minute changes to today’s card due to Jada Stone being pulled off the event. Flight delays. Not going to make it in time (I think we can perhaps blame the current government shutdown because it’s made delays in some areas horrible, especially Texas and Atlanta, GA). She was to have faced Rika Tatsumi. What was to have been Mizuki vs. Hyper Misao will now be a 3-way with Tatsumi as a result.
Today’s event will be held at College Park Center at the University of Texas in Arlington, TX and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in English. There also is the prior caveat about potential streaming issues due to the servers being in Japan-at the first event it was rough for the first few minutes then no issues after that, I didn’t watch the second event but hopefully all will go well. With the lineup change there are now only 6 matches and they do seem to be keeping to the time limits but now this card will be a little shorter than planned with a running time of probably about 100 minutes. WIth 7 matches it likely would’ve been about 2 hours.
Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Shino Suzuki vs. Mifu Ashida
Sakura Hattori vs. Uta Takumi
Mizuki vs. Hyper Misao & Rika Tatsumi in a 3-way
Suzume & Arisu Endo vs. Raku & Pom Harajuku
Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara vs. Yuki Aino & VertVixen
Miu Watanabe & Miyu Yamashita vs. Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Arai

12:50 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in 5-10 minutes.
1 PM PT UPDATE: Waiting to go to the venue.
1:01 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.
We are LIVE from College Park Center at the University of Texas in Arlington, TX. Commentary will begin shortly.
The paid attendance will be announced after the event. The venue map suggests a capacity of around 2000 but the initial camera shots indicate it won’t be near a sellout today. This could wind up being the lowest number of the tour so far (which has been very successful btw) so from what I’ve seen I’ll make an initial prediction of around 1250. (Actually from seeing more early crowd shots it looks smaller so I’m revising it down to 1000)
