Tokyo Joshi Pro returned to Osaka for CLIMB OVER ’23 today, a mid-major event headlined by the very odd couple team of Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku challenging for the Princess Tag Team Championship. Harajuku got this unusual chance because Heidi Howitzer was unable to return to Japan for this event.
Today’s event was held at Osaka Prefectural Gym 2 in Osaka and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at a later date (probably Tuesday). There was no live broadcast.
The announced paid attendance was 335.
Match 1: Shoko Nakajima, Neko Haruna & Kaya Toribami beat Mahiro Kiryu, Wakana Uehara & Toga. Nakajima pinned Uehara with a Northern Lights suplex hold.
Match 2: Raku beat HIMAWARI & Hyper Misao in a 3-way by pinning HIMAWARI.
Match 3: Vertvixen beat Moka Miyamoto.
Match 4: Yuki Arai, Yuki Aino & Yuki Kamifuku beat Maki Itoh, Hikari Noa & Shino Suzuki. Aino pinned Suzuki after Venus DDT.
Match 5: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe beat Suzume & Arisu Endo. Tatsumi pinned Endo after Twist Of Fate.
Main Event: Princess Tag Team Champions Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki beat Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku to retain the titles. Sakazaki pinned Harajuku after an elbow butt. V1 for the champs. UNHAPPY UNHAPPY! As were surely a lot of internet fans rooting for Wasteland Pom Party (Harajuku has a huge foreign fan base on social media). Next up: TBA, but it won’t be at the Golden Week blowout event because Mizuki has a Princess Of Princess Championship match.
The next event is a WRESTLE UNIVERSE Members Only event tomorrow at Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo. Tickets are available only for WRESTLE UNIVERSE members and only members can attend. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 12:30 AM PT/3:30 AM ET.
