On January 4th, I went to a very important pro-wrestling show!
Of course, I mean my first Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling show! I'm a really big fan of DDT and DDT's various brands, especially DNA and BASARA, but this was the first time I'd had the chance to attend a TJPW show.
I had a great time! Lots of variety, and I really enjoyed most of the matches! I'd really like to attend another TJPW show some time in the future!
This was one of my favourite matches in the show! Of course, Danshoku Dieno usually enjoys fighting men, so I was curious as to what, uh, tactics he would use against cute-as-a-button ex-LinQ idol singer Maki Ito.
I soon learned that Ito is a LOT tougher than she looks! To Dieno's credit, he treated her like any other opponent (although he didn't try to do most of the "special" things he usually does to his male opponents, because... well, he's "danshoku").
松井レフェリーの表情とリアクションが凄いですね!
Referee Yukinori Matsui had some of the best facial expressions and reactions of all time during this match.
あら、びっくりしました!
Dieno usually kisses his opponents, but he wasn't willing to kiss Itoh, because, well, she's a lass.
So, Itoh kissed Dieno instead.
ディーノ選手はそういうキスが好きじゃないですね。
Dieno didn't like that much.
