00:30Enduring first, Viva Van, making her Tokujoshi return, first time in six months, last time.
00:55Last time was May, she challenged Kamifuku for the Vietnamese pro wrestling title, won it, is still the VPW, Vietnam Women's Champion.
01:14She's on an Asia tour right now, to collect belts. Hopefully she wins the MLW World Women's Featherweight title today.
01:26And right now to the beat of Fireball, is your MLW World Women's Featherweight Champion, Shoko Nakajima.
01:43Here she is, just fresh back from her Mexico excursion.
01:57For Shoko Nakajima, yes.
01:59Yes, her fifth defense.
02:06Her most recent defense was in October against Kimawari in Long Beach, California.
02:24Here we are.
02:34Viva, I said, you know, back for the first time in six months since May, but just a month before that she was also on the Vegas show during Mania Week.
02:42Her first Tokujoshi appearance was in 2023.
02:46I think you can call her a regular, a member of the family.
02:53Here we are.
02:55Title match.
02:56MLW.
02:57Viva won.
02:58You know, she wants to win the title today, and then later this month she's got a Queen of Asia title match.
03:07Also a belt formerly held by Camille, she'll be facing Alexis Lee November 28th in SPW Singapore.
03:16She wants to kick off this Asia tour right by winning the MLW title off of Shoko.
03:23Viva with a size advantage here, but Shoko used to be at a size disadvantage.
03:48The size advantage here is very apparent and the strength will be even more so.
04:07Beautiful sideways tool.
04:13Straight into the arm bar.
04:19Nice twist.
04:20Viva hooking those toes.
04:22Very skillful.
04:25Snakes her way up into a headlock.
04:28Uses the ropes.
04:30Beautiful.
04:32Viva turning the tides very quickly.
04:41Oh, beautiful.
04:46And back underneath.
04:49Goes up top.
04:52Oh my goodness.
04:53Using the third rope.
04:55Unique arm drag from Viva.
04:58And now just showing off.
05:00Which is very important.
05:01Ah, now you shouldn't…
05:02Oh, beautiful.
05:03Another tap under into a school boy.
05:06Only two.
05:08Still on these two.
05:10We were staying very low almost.
05:12Almost staying at the same pace of Shoko and Hajima.
05:16Not really using that size that much.
05:19Monkey flame back, gets it.
05:23Right hand to the rope, gets it.
05:24Right hand to the rope.
05:26There she goes.
05:27Six, one and no.
05:28But he's there for the mine.
05:30Ducks it under.
05:31Takes it back.
05:32Oh.
05:33Beautiful double drop kicks.
05:34Another stand up right into a show of scene.
05:38Both wrestlers very evenly squared up so far.
05:50Not just in terms of power but also speed and technique.
05:55Oh my goodness.
05:56No.
05:57No, no, no, no.
05:58No, no, no!
05:59No, no, no, no.
06:00I don't even know what these do, by the way.
06:01Shoko going into a knee bar.
06:02No.
06:03No, no, no, no, no, no.
06:04Pat scissor.
06:05No, no, no, no, no.
06:06Pat scissor.
06:07A-Whip.
06:08No!
06:09No!
06:10No!
06:11No!
06:12No, no, no, no!
06:13There she goes.
06:14Oh!
06:15Oh!
06:16No!
06:17Get stabbed right away.
06:18No, no, no, no, no.
06:19No, no, no, no.
06:20No, no.
06:21No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
06:22Nakashima!
06:23Nakashima!
06:24Nakashima!
06:25Nakashima!
06:26Nakashima!
06:27I'm going to move on!
06:28I'm going to move on!
06:33Right over Shogo!
06:34My goodness!
06:36My goodness!
06:40Spinning back heel kick!
06:43Nakashima!
06:45Nakashima!
06:47Yes!
06:48Nakashima!
06:49What did you say, Shogo?
06:50Nakashima!
06:51Running her mouth against Yoko.
07:01Viva's feeling like she's in control now.
07:03Now a knee bar of her own.
07:08The knee bar must be gentle, but she kind of sat down on...
07:11...Shakab Jejo on his stomach.
07:13And I think that was basically an unexpected dead santon...
07:17...on her stomach which must have hurt incredibly.
07:20It's one thing when you're prepared for it and it's one thing when you're not.
07:23You need to like really focus on your abs and really strengthen your ribcage to get those santos.
07:28And if you don't see it coming, it hurts like hell.
07:31Another!
07:33Another one!
07:35Using some very dangerous moves on repeat.
07:40Back spin kick.
07:42The flying style, really rare in Tokyo Joshi.
07:45People get knocked out from these.
07:49It's a...
07:51It's a highly...
07:53It's a very popular karate finish.
07:55Yes.
07:56In all strikes, you're getting all of your momentum.
08:00You're pulling your leg.
08:01You have...
08:02Your leg is coming like a whip from behind.
08:04It has tremendous force behind it.
08:07Where do you remember that style of being here?
08:14Shake of Minoru Tanaka in his early junior days.
08:18Early 2000.
08:20I'll have 5 knee past.
08:21Five knee past.
08:24Catching the leg...
08:26Spinning into that knee bar.
08:30Shoko feel that distance to the ropes.
08:39Whew!
08:40F creates escape.
08:43The damage has been quite sufficiently done, we've been very silent, very much focused
08:52on the match, showboarding here and there to… because she can and wants to but mostly
08:59just very focused on the match.
09:03You can really feel the difference in their stars from how much sounds you hear from Shoko
09:12and how little at all you hear from Bibi.
09:15Very silent, looking like she's looking very confident in how the match is going so far.
09:24Yes, Shogunna… I mean she has done very sufficient damage to Nakajima, that's thrown to the corner,
09:31there comes Nakajima taking her time, the leg is hurting, successful.
09:36Running close line through the ropes.
09:40Beautiful front.
09:43That leg is really…
09:45One more time.
09:50Most likely looking for that Lope.
09:53Here she goes, full speed ahead and…
09:57Still favouring that knee though.
10:10My goodness.
10:14Shogo Nakajima…
10:16Allowing Shogo to buy some time.
10:20To knock some sense into that knee.
10:24Here she is back in.
10:30A lot of screaming for Shogo today, you know as if to like scream away the pain in the knee.
10:40I mean she has to and also…
10:43It's not so that she is screaming more than…
10:46Oh, that's a…
10:47Oh my goodness.
10:48But she is not screaming that much.
10:50It's just that Vivian is so silent that it stands out so much more.
10:53Certainly…
10:54Oh!
10:55Superplex from Viva.
10:58Viva throwing out dangerous moves like they are yesterday's bruh.
11:02It's Koraku and Hall.
11:04Gotta give it everything you got.
11:06Shogo Nakajima not really used to…
11:09I mean she is a small stature if she fights for like an international standard.
11:15She will get thrown around quite a bit.
11:17Because she is easy to throw around.
11:19Now when you try to take a bump in that situation, you want to use her whole body,
11:23you know.
11:24Let some…
11:25Let your arms and legs take some of the damage but since her knee I think she wanted to protect
11:30the knee which means that more of the weight is going to fall on that lower back.
11:34True enough.
11:35You're starting to hear a little bit emotion from Vivian now.
11:55They are almost the same size from knee to like standing.
12:01You can see that Shoko is hitting up.
12:06Viva is hitting down.
12:09Oh!
12:10That's it.
12:11Single leg drop kick.
12:12Up top.
12:13Gets stopped right away.
12:14Catches the runner.
12:15Oh no.
12:16What is Viva thinking?
12:17And now sits down on it.
12:19Oh he's got that in through the ring.
12:20Double boss and crack.
12:21Young lion style.
12:22Whoa!
12:23Choko having to almost crawl entirely across the ring.
12:26Make some escape.
12:27Vivian turns it.
12:28I think still has plans.
12:29Oh my goodness.
12:30Careful, careful, Choko.
12:31Careful, careful.
12:32style. Shoto having to almost crawl entirely across the ring. Makes an escape. Vivian turns
12:49it. I think still has plans. Oh, my goodness. Shobhanagajima climbing up. Oh, beautiful
12:57use of the ropes by Shobhanagajima. Another elbow just for extra measure. Can she get it this
13:03time? Here comes six, one and nobody home. But still Gertzic. Is it a 3-1-9? It's a double,
13:13so it's 12-18 I ask. Vivian stands up. Zombie like in her name. 10 minutes pass. 10 minutes pass.
13:24Vivian now. Gets stopped. Another heavy elbow to the back. Uppercut. And a sofa to the stomach.
13:34Takes the back. Oh, no. Ducks it out. Back and forth. These two go. Shobhanagajima needs to make
13:41something happen. Oh, my goodness. Oh, beautiful deflation. Oh, my goodness. I hope the referee
13:49is a bit faster there. Viva catches a moment. Oh, she's down on it. She's down on it.
13:59She's down on it. Only two. Looks like Shoko is on a mobile latch. Two. Only two. One more time.
14:06Viva just sat down on Shoko's mobile latch. No. Getsu-night. Nice pull by
14:22Northern-like suplex from Shoko. The Viva van is up first. Can Shoko capitalize?
14:34Ooh, up kick to the chest.
14:39Unexpected attack for Shoko.
14:45Joe goes first, that's a neck breaker.
14:48Didn't really work that much as she can't really come from up above on the rope.
14:53And up top, mission rocket loads herself.
14:57That's too much weight for Shoko Najima to handle.
15:00Splash, Duke, the only Duke.
15:05I wouldn't be surprised if the match I did there.
15:13Whoa!
15:15Just taking her heart off.
15:19Pele kick style.
15:21Oh, she's going for the Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex Hold.
15:25That's how she beat Kamiyu for the VPW title back in May.
15:30Oh, now finally gets it.
15:33Mysterio Rana from Shoko.
15:37Diving elbow.
15:41Needs to make something happen.
15:43Shoko Najima has been in the receiving end of most of this match.
15:47Double underhook DDT.
15:49Trying to finish this one out.
15:50Can she fly and can she land?
15:52Perfect position for the diving senton.
15:53Yes, she goes.
15:54Can she connect?
15:55Yes, she can.
15:56Nails it.
15:57Right in the hole.
15:58Wow.
15:59And two.
16:00And that's it.
16:01For the three.
16:02And still your MLW World Women's featherweight champion, Shoko Najima.
16:16And hard for between.
16:17If there's any.
16:18Animal defense.
16:19And still your MLW World Women's featherweight champion, Shoko Najima.
