Tokyo Joshi provides fresh look at women’s wrestling as champions stay on top

Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling star Miyu Yamashita talks what fans can expect from her company at Slam Fest next month in Las Vegas.

LAS VEGAS – Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling put on a showcase of women’s pro wrestling in Las Vegas at the Pearl Theater on Thursday afternoon at the Pearl Theater inside Palms Casino Resort as part of Slam Fest.

And don’t be fooled — though the women of Joshi entered the ring with sparkly and elaborate outfits, the wrestlers hit just as hard as anyone else.

J-Rod learned that the hard way as she challenged Yuki Arai for the Princess of Princess Championship.

J-Rod hoped to become the first American to win the title. Arai, known as "The Genius Girl," initially felt the pain that J-Rod can bring to the ring.

J-Rod kept pushing Arai down to that, seemingly suggesting that because she was bigger and stronger, she was easily going to win the match. Arai used her quickness and agility to move around J-Rod. Arai had J-Rod in a sharpshooter, but "The Ultimate Athlete" would break out.

Arai even received a spear from J-Rod, and tried to pin her. But after a near fall, J-Rod’s frustration was building.

"What more do I have to do?" she yelled out to the crowd. "There’s no way you can remain champion."

Arai went on the offensive from there. She avoided another spear from J-Rod and hit her with a full-nelson slam. She pinned J-Rod for the win to retain the Princess of Princess Championship.
