TJPW Yes! Wonderland 2021 Recap & Reactions: Back On Top By Jericu on May 6, 2021, 12:40am EDT +
Well, this turned out to be a bigger show than I expected! Considering how much attention was being put on the CyberFight Festival show happening on June 6th, it really felt like Yes! Wonderland was effectively a filler show, certainly a major show with effort put into production but not something that would have much of consequence happen outside of the 3-way match that determined the top title challenger for the next show. In my predictions piece of this show I guessed that none of the 3 titles would change hands, and I ve ended up with only a 33% accuracy rating! That said, there were many matches in what ended up being, on balance, a very good show for TJPW, which I highly recommend you watch for yourself. Let s go through everything from top to bottom:
Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling Yes! Wonderland 2021: Introductions, Preview, and Predictions By Jericu on May 2, 2021, 2:30pm EDT 13
Around these parts, I am mostly known for talking about the AEW Women s Division, which mostly involves being mad at the bad booking of it. HOWEVER! There is another wrestling promotion I follow, another which I watch and hold dear to my heart, that being the Japanese women s promotion of Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling. It s great stuff, a fun promotion that holds many wrestlers I consider myself a big fan of. If you follow AEW, you might be a fan of a few of their talents as well; Yuka Sakazaki is a former Princess Tag Team and Princess of Princess champion, and AEW Women s Eliminator Tournament standout Maki Itoh makes her home in TJPW as well. My personal favorite, Shoko Nakajima, has made a couple AEW appearances as well, including this very good match against Riho from Dark which I am obligated to share whenever I mention the Big Kaiju.

Is this title shot for Revolution or sometime afterwards?) but at the very least, we can look at who all is in the tournament, check out their past and present, and see if an AEW Women s World Championship shot is in their future.
