00:00Takumi, her debut with Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling.
00:03Very glad to see her, a part of the COD.
00:06Yes, Langley originally slated the tag with best friend, best NXT friend, Sari,
00:12but had scheduling conflicts.
00:15We turned to Roja Takumi.
00:18I mean, she's been on Wrestle Universe before she wrestled for GonPro,
00:21before recently wrestled with GonPro WrestleUri.
00:25And she wrestled as part of Saki Akai's graduation tour.
00:31Yes, her classmate tour with everybody that's in that class.
00:39Here we go.
00:40And first, the leader of Tokyo Joshi, the Pink Striker.
00:45Niu Yamashita and partnering Harisu Endo.
00:51Oh wow, Yamashita has a gown?
00:55That might be a person.
00:58It's the first time seeing her with a long gown.
01:01Yeah, I've never seen her with a gown.
01:03She's really just had a leather jacket.
01:04Yeah.
01:07I mean, she is looking into that magic wrestler pop.
01:10Yeah.
01:16Harisu Endo not happy about being treated like the third wheel or fourth wheel on this match.
01:22Everybody talking about Miyu vs. Seri Miyu vs. Iroha.
01:28Endo needs to show that she's more than just one-fourth of a tag match.
01:36Perhaps more pumped than anybody in this match.
01:38Yeah, Endo!
01:41Yeah!
01:41Yeah!
01:43Yeah!
01:43Which year did Yamashita debut?
01:46What was that?
01:46What year did Yamashita debut in?
01:49Famous Tokyo Joshi's going in her 11th year right now, I guess.
01:54Oh wow, so 2015.
01:562016?
01:58She debuted at 18, I believe.
02:00Training from a little bit before that.
02:02I feel like it's earlier than that, though.
02:03She joined earlier.
02:05I think her actual debut was like, you know, six months, a year later, so.
02:11Seri and Takumi Iroha, they call themselves Spark Rush.
02:16They are an official tag team.
02:17That is a...
02:19That is a pro for...
02:20I haven't seen...
02:22That's a pro for VPR.
02:25Who made that video?
02:28Probably their team, you know, Seri, although being a freelancer, just packed Yokohama Bunga Taikan for her 15th anniversary.
02:43A very well-deserved showing for that event.
02:50Very solid tag team.
02:51Miu and Arisa, they're not a proper tag team.
02:54Haven't tagged together much.
02:57So that teamwork element has definitely, you know, helped out Spark Rush more than it does the Tokyo Joseph team.
03:05However, if there is a chink in the armor, Spark Rush are set to face each other for the AEAW
03:12Championship on May 5th.
03:15They'll be battling each other in a month and a bit.
03:19We'll see how that affects their chemistry.
03:33The successor to Chigusa Nagayo, the legend, is Iroha from Marvelous Pro Wrestling.
03:44It will be on the west coast of USA.
03:47Sorry, it was Marvelous before 2, right?
03:48Or Deanna.
03:49I should have Deanna.
03:50Deanna, right, yeah.
03:57Looks like we have some additional seconds for Marvelous showing up to help their senpai.
04:03Oh, yeah.
04:04Oh, yeah.
04:16That's my second time commentating her Iroha match.
04:19One time when she was at the Otaku Show for Gampro.
04:23And she was there.
04:24I also translated her for international foreign interviews.
04:29Know her well.
04:30Great person.
04:32Very scary in the ring.
04:36The lack of confidence.
04:39Death stare from Miu.
04:43The heat is already on.
04:51I don't want to learn to stand wide-shouldered.
04:56Like Iroha there.
04:58Yeah, but like Yamaspa is doing that.
05:00Same thing.
05:01She hasn't learned that yet to…
05:03How to like, you know, stay your enemy down.
05:08Oh, looking for a handshake.
05:10And Arisu.
05:12Will there be one?
05:12There might be.
05:13Arisu, who's usually all smiles.
05:16Not a single smile on her face yet.
05:19Good sportsmanship from everyone involved.
05:25Well, can't have a perfect record.
05:33There we go.
05:37Juicy fans, very excited today about this matchup.
05:42A revisit of Wrestle Princess 1 from Tokyo Dome City Hall.
05:48That time, Sari ate the skull kick of Yamaspa.
05:59Crowd very hot behind Yamaspa.
06:04That was a very good at mean mugging people.
06:08And already, there's something we don't see in Tokyo Joshi much.
06:11Just grabbing of the hair.
06:18Yamaspa handling the situation very calmly, at least for now.
06:23She's definitely recently fit very well into her leader position.
06:29Managing her anger against the younger roster of Tokyo Joshi.
06:34It's very good for us.
06:36This will be one of those, won't it?
06:40I think she decided to keep all that anger to unleash here today in this match.
06:53Anyu, Yamaspa, slating the fight in Bloodsport next month against Jenai Kai.
06:58This match already looking a bit like a Bloodsport match here.
07:12Master very good at controlling
07:14that opponent there
07:19Sarit trying to get behind you
07:21Master, unsuccessful so far
07:24You see that little foot
07:25stepping on the foot
07:27I'm very intently focused on
07:31the two in the ring
07:36The air is intense
07:40Doesn't seem like anybody remembers
07:42that we were just watching a giant
07:44hand match two minutes ago
07:47Kick combination
07:59Great back and forth
08:01There
08:03Quite a testing of orders
08:05Sarit taking out first
08:08And now we are happy
08:09Oh!
08:10We are unhappy that Andrew Tag out
08:13Just ran through a recess
08:17Yeah, it will not be a good day for us
08:23It looks like their opponents are continuing to underestimate Arisu
08:27Yes
08:27I mean they can underestimate her
08:29They are not even underestimating
08:31It's more so that they don't see her as a threat yet
08:36And I think
08:37I hope at the end of this they do
08:58There's also a big difference
08:59But the problem within this match
09:01And the reason they don't see Endo as a threat
09:04Is that Endo is very good at technique
09:05They are really good at hurl
09:09The style of wrestling she does
09:10It's not
09:11She can beat them
09:12For a three
09:14Pinfall
09:15But that's not really as like punishment
09:17Like they are good at punishing
09:18The other three are known for
09:21Their ability to break their opponents
09:24Yeah
09:24This is not that type of wrestler
09:25I'm gonna make you hurt
09:27You might
09:27So like they don't find her intimidating in that sense
09:30And I understand
09:30But you know
09:32That they don't
09:36It will be almost a baptism for her today in Joshi wrestling
09:40I don't think Endo has ever experienced something like this
09:44That people hurt you for the sake of hurting you
09:47Not to win
09:48And also with Arisu being you know
09:51The shortest in terms of career
09:55Is also another reason
09:57Like in weight, in build, in power
10:06Almost a deadlift body slam there
10:10Arisu refusing to abide
10:13Until the last minute
10:14Yeah
10:16Now the Indian death lock
10:18Yamashita is starting to look a bit agitated on the sidelines
10:30Ball and arrow start
10:37And locking an arm for good measure
10:49Yamashita not coming in to help
10:51Almost as if
10:52Almost as if
10:53To let Arisu
10:53Prove herself
10:55On her own
10:56Instead tagging
10:58Sorry tagging
10:59Ooooooooh
11:09It's gonna get ugly
11:11Before it gets better
11:14If nothing else
11:16We'll end it
11:16I'm very much hoping that Arisu
11:18Holds out
11:20And gets the chance to show them exactly what she can do
11:23No but like
11:24I don't think Endo has ever been in this situation before
11:26She has never been with people who are not trying to beat her
11:29They are trying to hurt her
11:30And they will try to hurt her
11:34Big kicks
11:35Big kicks
11:36From Iroha
11:37In good or bad
11:38There we go
11:40There we go
11:41That fighting spirit
11:42On that Risu
11:43There we go
11:44There we go
12:01A little bit of a nice to meet
12:03A little bit of a nice to meet
12:05Nice to meet
12:08You need
12:08Lariat
12:10Iroha
12:10Gets right back up
12:12Not staying down
12:15Not happy with how things are going so far.
12:18Oh, we're going to have a kickoff here.
12:20I can feel it right here.
12:21I can feel the goddamn air.
12:24Oh, low kicks.
12:25Oh, my.
12:26Low kicks are mean.
12:27I don't think she was expecting that to be so hard.
12:29Low kicks are mean.
12:32You don't understand.
12:34Low kicks are mean.
12:35As somebody who's doubling them very proficiently.
12:37It's rare to see Yamashita bust out low kicks.
12:42Because honestly, they are a move that's just built to hurt you.
12:46Yep.
12:47They're built to break you.
12:49They're built to make sure you can't do what you're good at doing.
12:58They're going high now.
13:02Gradually moving up to the middle kicks.
13:04Very famous for kicking both of them.
13:06Oh, dodges to Soba.
13:08Catches both kicks.
13:15Roundhouse.
13:15Reverse roundhouse.
13:17You don't have the skull kicked away.
13:18Another high kick.
13:21Oh.
13:27Those are going to start to show a little bit of more attack.
13:34It looks like Oroha came out on top of the leg lariat.
13:37She got the last kick, but they're feeling the same amount of pain there.
13:42Both women down.
13:50Oroha made his peg out.
14:05Oroha made his peg out.
14:10She must be thinking, what have I gotten myself in.
14:16Very high stakes, too.
14:19Launches Sari into the corner.
14:25Mean elbow.
14:32The sound.
14:34By the way, not kicking and playing Sari's game with Algo is done.
14:38She's trying to prove a point here.
14:42There we go.
14:45All the way up my head, you can see the sound reverberating.
14:59The sound of meat and foam.
15:07Can't you get it?
15:09Oh.
15:09Demlef German.
15:16Everyone from Aliyama still bust out that move.
15:19Last time I saw it, maybe I think it was on Pachesta or Kenny Omega.
15:25Return crush.
15:26Nobody home.
15:28Oh.
15:28Go to the face.
15:32The amount of high trauma this match will be terrible.
15:34Double, double, fist, trust scales combo.
15:39There comes in though.
15:42And make a hit.
15:43Obviously trying to help but suffering the same fate.
15:47Nasty double dropkick.
15:50Sari and Urugana.
15:52Running the game.
15:57Running up top.
15:59Looking for foot sums.
16:00TJP that we positioned.
16:02Near.
16:03Out to both neutral corners.
16:05Oh.
16:07Good stomp and sent on.
16:09Both missed.
16:10Right into it.
16:12For AA from Miyu.
16:14Waterwolf duplex.
16:16From Arisu.
16:21Able to counter the double team with a double move.
16:25And now Miyu.
16:26Return crush on three.
16:30Tagging out.
16:32Here comes Endo.
16:35And they're looking for payback.
16:37I think for a dropkick of Ryan.
16:42And they're in the ropes for a knee.
16:46Double sledgehammer.
16:49Only two.
16:52This is where she cannot rest.
16:53She cannot stop.
16:54She must keep going.
16:58Looking for another water wheel suplex.
17:00Looking for another water wheel suplex.
17:03But not managing to get Sari up.
17:06Quick recovery from Sari.
17:10Back on her feet.
17:12Back on her feet.
17:23There we go.
17:26There we go.
17:28There we go.
17:29There we go.
17:29The fighting squared is back.
17:30You can only fight wagons with wagons.
17:33No matter what any good people have said before.
17:37And the front thing Sari.
17:39Sari.
17:40Making her realize.
17:45Close your elbow.
17:46But Arisu right back up.
17:57She must be used to having Mizuki do that to her.
18:00But they dropped it to the face.
18:03Very, very...
18:03Only two.
18:05Still in this.
18:07Is Endo.
18:09Eruha now.
18:12Legal.
18:14Got that smile on her face.
18:16A smile on her face saying,
18:18What can I do to finish this girl?
18:23Strong support.
18:26From Tokyo Joshi.
18:29Babying Endo is.
18:31Eruha.
18:32Almost.
18:37Making her the given dash is going to win.
18:40She is the ace of marvelous.
18:46And third on the third is Endo now.
18:50Eruha doing.
18:51At this point, whatever the hell she wants in this one.
18:54Snap.
18:55So he drugs.
18:55Very, very fast.
18:57Going for the centum one more time.
19:00Eruha.
19:04Oh no, Endo getting up.
19:06Endo fired in.
19:08Not letting her have the centum.
19:10Eruha noticing early.
19:12Decides to stay safe and takes a step down.
19:15Endo is still up there.
19:18Still up there.
19:24Stop!
19:27Oh, I'm still hanging.
19:29Endo is making fans out of people right here with her fight.
19:35Come on, Endo.
19:37Let's do this.
19:43Let's do this.
19:47Waterwheel avalanche suplush.
19:54Trying to create a chance for herself.
20:05And now for the camel.
20:06Clutch.
20:11Trying to rock both arms in, but...
20:13Eruha managing to kick out.
20:17Oh.
20:19Very good awareness from the Tokyo Joshi team.
20:23Sari getting one for our troubles.
20:25Beautiful rock kick.
20:27Bandai-san, this is a rock kick.
20:30You mentioned before that Aisoo and Renshita lacked a bit of teamwork experience.
20:36But they seem to be doing pretty well for themselves.
20:39That was a great moment where they were aware of where the opponent was, where each other were.
20:45They're really supporting themselves well, but a team is more so than support.
20:48A team is just...
20:49You fight as two people, not one.
20:52Here, we want Endo to win.
20:54The whole point.
20:55I think the way the match has turned out, it's almost like Yamasta wants Endo to show that she can
21:00win.
21:02Oh.
21:02A baptism for Endo into the ways of the heart.
21:08Oh, no.
21:08That's it.
21:08Beautiful.
21:10That's it.
21:10This one more time.
21:12Come on, Endo.
21:14Oh, Kroski to the face.
21:17Fantastically placed.
21:19Here she is.
21:20She's been kicked in the face and up this match.
21:22I think she deserves, deserves to get one back.
21:24And now back to the camera clutch.
21:31And now needs to lock it in.
21:33And now completely cinching it in.
21:37Giving the hope.
21:40Back to the Kroski fans.
21:41They have where this oldest Magana started now.
21:44Just hold on here.
21:46Yeah.
21:48Really pulling on it too.
21:50Kick to the head.
21:52And now choking her with it.
21:55Choking with the shin.
21:58Supporting Arisu in her finish.
22:01Here she is.
22:02One more time.
22:03Endo now trying to go for it.
22:05Argentine backbreaker star left.
22:07Nope.
22:09She wanted to go for the Juno-Okite cutter finish.
22:14And the goal is not Sari's first.
22:17Ah, shoot her down.
22:18There is goal Sari.
22:20Ah, double footstomp.
22:23Whoa, another PK.
22:26Two.
22:27Oh, only two.
22:29And this is barely.
22:31Yeah, Toshiro go up.
22:32A combination.
22:34Do not underestimate Arisu's drive to keep her.
22:37Strong Arisu's goal.
22:38Strong Arisu's goal, real good.
22:39Coming alive for Endo here.
22:43They want her to win with everything she have.
22:46Everything they have.
22:48Oh, no, this will be the end of it if she can.
22:51Oh, no, beautiful.
22:52Roll her up.
22:53Roll her up.
22:55Sari makes it a point.
23:00Three minutes remaining in the match.
23:05Niroha.
23:07Sari now calling for the finish.
23:09Sari going up half looking for the footstomp of scenes.
23:12Here it is.
23:14Ah, goodness.
23:16Just murdered completely on the match.
23:19Here comes the side turn bomb.
23:21Beautiful.
23:22There it is.
23:23That's a bomb.
23:24That's a two.
23:26Ah, and you have to make it in time.
23:31Double attack on the stomach.
23:33Perfect aim.
23:34Oh, no, ducks it.
23:35Here comes Sari.
23:36Beautiful.
23:37Roll it up.
23:38Right into a footstomp.
23:40Stood on those laps.
23:43Ah, ducks it under one more time.
23:44Here goes Stokin.
23:46Double down.
23:48Beautiful.
23:49Beautiful Stokin.
23:49And Sari.
23:51Sari doesn't know where she is.
23:55Niroha now trying to finish.
23:58Andal goes up top one more time for the powerbomb.
24:01Turned it around.
24:02And here she is.
24:04Sit out with it.
24:07Oh, only two.
24:10Kick out.
24:10Only two.
24:12Andal Eris.
24:14Surprising everybody.
24:16Very upset with Stokin.
24:17Somehow, someway, still staying in this.
24:21And now, Niroha looking for the running three.
24:24Now this will be terrible.
24:28Near the right spot.
24:30Two.
24:31And that is it.
24:33Knee in the face of Arisu Andal.
24:35Now she's not managing to make it in time.
24:38Iyoha, Takumi.
24:40Just two minutes.
