Tokyo Joshi Pro held a special 10th Anniversary event today dubbed “Beyond the origin, to the future”, a one-day tournament following the format of the promotion’s very first event. 19 of the roster’s members participated as the rest were unavailable for various reasons (Yuka Sakazaki & Yuki Kamifuku are on international excursions, Wakana Uehara had scheduling issues and Juria Nagano & Yuki Arai were not scheduled to participate). Every match was held on floor mats and not a ring, there was a 5 minute time limit and only 2 count pinfalls. Time limit draws used rock-paper-scissors games as tiebreakers except the Finals, which would continue with no time limit and 1 count pinfalls.
Today’s event was held at Twin Box Akihabara in Tokyo (the venue that hosted the inaugural event) and can be watched on demand as a PPV on WRESTLE UNIVERSE until February 6. After that it hopefully will be available for all subscribers.
This was a closed venue event with no fans in attendance. All matches were tournament matches.
