イッテンヨン2024
「イッテンヨン」とはすなわち新日本プロレスのものだと思っていた。それは実際その通りなのだが、今年の私にとってはそれが東京女子プロレスでもある。
というわけで有給をとって、お昼は「東京女子プロレス’24」を観に行く。感想はぜんぶTwitterに書いた。第1試合からメインイベントまで、本当に素晴らしい大会。
上福ゆき選手、原宿ぽむ選手、マックス・ジ・インペイラー選手のサイン会に参加してきた。かみーゆやぽむには、2人を見習って今年は自分も強く美しくなることをコミットし、マックスにはどうかこれからも東京女子に参戦してほしいことを伝えた。
東京ドームに着いたのは高橋ヒロムの入場が終わったあと。
「WRESTLE KINGDOM 18」は、はじめてとても冷静に観た気がする。ご飯を食べたりお茶を飲んだりしながらオスプレイやオカダ・カズチカを観るなんて最高すぎないか? 内藤のデハポン締め(というかその前のEVIL、SANADAのやりとり)にしっかり感動して、気持ちよく帰路につき、atticとbar next doorで飲んで帰宅。
Kamiyu finally gets the ability creating fun without fighting. She colors the match with only one word or sentence. That’s why I love her. #上福ゆき #YukiKamifuku #tjpw pic.twitter.com/H4ReZectzB

Pom always gives me the energy to live, and teaches me what pro-wrestling is. By the way, She said to me, “I read tweets written in English, sometimes using translation tools”. Our cheers are definitely reaching Pom! #原宿ぽむ #PomHarajuku #tjpw pic.twitter.com/7o54s3S4yD

I believe Nao Kakuta vs Mizuki is one of the best matches. In their previous encounter during the Princess of Princess championship, Nao was caught in Mizuki’s crossface lock. But this time, she didn’t give up. #角田奈緒 #NaoKakuta #tjpw pic.twitter.com/avSilYWb3H

Shoko Nakajima vs Hyper Misao was also very fun. When Shoko won, her smile shone so brightly. Kiyoaki-Kyomei is a super unique tag. #tjpw pic.twitter.com/aFjJTHlUOL

I can’t believe I got to see Riho, who fought with Tony Storm at AEW Worlds End! She was too strong to make the match amazing. However, Shino Suzuki gave her all. I’m looking forward to watching a rematch in a couple of years. #Riho #鈴木志乃 #tjpw pic.twitter.com/fd2156ibU3

For me, today’s best match was Wakana Uehara vs Aja Kong. Wakana’s surprise attack was so cool, and she showed what this match meant to her. It literally brought me to tears. The big cheer for her wasn’t instructed. #WakanaUehara #上原わかな #tjpw pic.twitter.com/MCPXo96kdq

Rina Yamashita vs Maki Itoh is kinda GCW style match in TJPW. These two wrestlers always make the match exciting. I’m so glad to see Itoh-chan performing at a world-class level. #tjpw #山下りな #伊藤真希 pic.twitter.com/ly5i3o5XY4

MAX THE IMPELAR vs Yuki Arai was a perfect match, except that Yuki won. (I'm sorry, but I'm a fan of MAX.) Yuki endured numerous attacks, including being slammed onto the floor. But she turned the tables with just one signature move, "Finally." I respect her." #荒井優希 #tjpw pic.twitter.com/NWyCxRNTFg

Aniki (Ryo Mizunami) is essential for tjpw. It's great news that Aniki and Yuki Aino won the tag title. Rika's shouts and Miu’s strength open the door to my new year. It was disappointing that Daisy Monkey couldn't show their full strength, but they have great potential. #tjpw pic.twitter.com/glxfHYcf9V

Miyu Yamashita vs Masha Slamovich is on another level. They elevated the value of the POP title in a legitimate way. The unexpected Skull Kick surprised us all. We will likely continue to witness more fights between these two in the future.#tjpw #山下実優 #MashaSlamovich pic.twitter.com/b4e9rKNrRG
