Watch: TrillerTV

After final yr’s fairly well-received TJPW tour to the States (though, whisper it, the Mark Hitchcock multi-woman was the very best match they placed on), the ‘Teej’ crew is again in Philly. 

Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh vs. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe

This can undoubtedly be the match of the evening, and if issues actually align, it may very well be the match of the weekend. 4 main stars of the promotion, and the tag format will assist hold Itoh on a extra severe footing than her indie matches. Rika and Miu kind the staff of ‘Daydream’ and are liable for an extended string of basic tag matches, with Miu bringing the facility strikes and Rika performing because the ring common. I’m extremely hyped for this one.

Mizuki & VertVixen vs. Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku

Since shedding the title, Mizuki has floundered with no actual course. On the plus facet,  we’re nearly contractually certain to see a Whirling Sweet right here and Max and Pom’s intra-team interactions are at all times enjoyable to look at.

Count on a mixture of comedy antics, hard-hitting (from Max), and high-flying (from Mizuki).

Suzume & Arisu Endo vs. Nao Kakuta & Zara Zakher

Suzume and Arisu Endo kind the staff of Daisy Monkey, and are TJPW’s younger tigers, the brand new era poised to take the reigns from the older guard. Tortured metaphors apart, I anticipate this to be a showcase for his or her nimble and fast-paced offense and a minor swan music for Nao Kakuta, who’s retiring quickly.

Yuki Aino & Raku vs. Yuki Kamifuku & VivaVan

This feels a bit thrown collectively, and might I say that I’m wanting ahead to Yuki Kamifuku’s absolute banger of a theme tune greater than something?

Shoko Nakajima vs. Rhio

Shoko is considered one of TJPW’s very best wrestlers. She is fast as something and an awesome technician, too. That is actually all on Rhio to rise to the event. If she will, we’ve a sleeper match of the evening contender.

HyperMisao vs. Billie Starkz

I suppose that is the match the place the AEW-aligned wrestler is contractually forbidden from getting pinned, so that they pair her with Misao to do a wacky bullshit end. Misao is TJPW’s bumbling superhero who’s secretly a reserving genius. Count on weapons, nonsense, and maybe even some sentimentality. 

Remaining Ideas

That’s it. It’s at all times enjoyable to see TJPW wrestlers in entrance of recent crowds, and this present will probably be enjoyable for that component alone. Whereas there are non-TJPW wrestlers up and down the cardboard, it feels way more genuine than, say, the DDT present, as TJPW’s characters and wrestlers are at all times robust sufficient to hold matches, and visiting visitors have at all times been an everyday a part of the promotion. Lastly, get effectively quickly Sawyer Wreck, who was initially scheduled to look however needed to pull out as a result of harm
