I hope everyone appreciates the restraint it took for me to not make the thread title a reference to the Year of Mahiro which will no doubt be starting tomorrow.

We're just over 12 hours away from the biggest show of the year to cap off a decade since Miyu, Kanna and Chikage first took to the mats in Akihabara. Since then the roster has ballooned (with 28 active wrestlers on the show poster) and a new generation of wrestlers has emerged to finally break the triumvirate at the top of the card, led by that loving rabbit (and current PoP champion) Mizuki. And while Yuka is off injured with one foot out of the promotion and Shoko is down the card, there remains the final boss of TJPW for Mizuki to conquer in order to clear a path for a new future. The last of the first generation, Miyu Yamashita. Miyu has already beat Mizuki once this year in the first round of the Princess Cup, in fact the last time Mizuki beat Miyu in a singles match was more than two years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if they gave Miyu one more run with the belt but this would be a fantastic time to give Mizuki the marquee defence she's yet to have this reign.

The semi-main will see a double title match, as International Princess Champ Rika Tatsumi takes on NWA Women's TV Champ Max the Impaler. Now, we all know RIka is a vicious unhinged monster bent only on destruction, but Max is Max. Rika's will find it difficult to choke Max if they're ragdolling Rika from one side of the ring to the other. Have to think Max wins the belt and takes it on a tour of other promotions in the same way they did earlier this year as part of Wasteland War Party, but hey, maybe Rika's dream is to go to America and work a Powerrr taping.

The third title on the line are the tag belts, currently vacated after Yuka (and Mizkui) had to give them up due to injury. The two teams fighting out for them have never won the titles before and won qualifying matches to get here, Free Wifi over Kyoraku Kyomei and Toyo Mates over Daisy Monkey. Expect hair pulls and eye pokes and for only one person to be apologising for this breaking of the rules. Very much torn here over my love for Nao Kakuta and my love for Mahiro Kiryu, so imagine me as that guy holding up the sign hoping both teams have fun.

There's going to be some fun stuff further down the card as well. Karate Girls explode as Juria continues to search for her first singles win. Aniki is back for Miu to swing again while Aino and Arai batter each other for Yuki supremacy. Nyla Rose is back after a disappointing match last time to face Itoh who has spent nearly as much time in GCW than TJPW this year. Raku is once again teaming with her biggest fan Aja Kong and new devotee Shino to face Misao, WAKANAAAAAAA and Toga. Ganbare Joshi are invading once again, although flagbearer Yuna Manase has been out with injury for most of this year so her spot is being filled by rookie Riara making her first appearance outside of her home promotion. And finally, six months on from when they first debuted in an 8-woman tag, Runa Okubo and Haru Kazeshiro will be opening the show in the biggest singles match of either of their young lives (they are both 15). Both looking for their first singles win, Haru is also looking for her breakout match after fellow child Runa had that surprisingly hard hitting match with Hikari a couple of months ago.

Oh, and NEO Biishiki-gun might be making their last appearance in the company. Very sad.












Watch the show Here on Wrestle Universe. Commentary will be done by Baliyan Akki and equal 3rd place on this month's champ of the month poll Chris Brookes
Read the preview here, or for those more into video JoShizzle has one up on youtube

They didn't do posters for every match like they have in the past but the one's we have are as usual really good.

Odd choice of arena, usually when there's no tiered seating there's only a couple hundred people in the audience. Makes this place look way smaller than previous WP venues
