TJPW Princess Cup First Round is in the books and it's already been an emotional tournament. Even getting through to the next round is a big deal, and we've seen tears on two seperate occassions
Round 2 matches
>Maki Itoh vs Natsumi Maki >Yuka Sakazaki vs Miu Watanabe >Yuna Manase vs Rka Tatsumi >Shoko Nakajima vs Mizuki
All this is set to see a Nakajima vs Yuka at the finals right?
Anthony Cox
No, Mizuki. Mizuki is probably beating Nakajima to setup one challenger and then someone else wins the whole thing. But finals should not have Yuka in. Unless they want to belt her so soon (they shouldn't), because she needs to drop the tag belts to Misao and Sakisama.
Julian James
Also I fucked up my post. When the bracket was posted I went tried to guess who is making it to finals. I had Yuka beating Nodoka to get to semis, but with Miu getting the upset win, I can see Miu beating Yuka as well, to get the rub. I also had Yuka vs. Mizuki just to continue with the Neo-Bishiikigun bullshit, but I hope they do not do it.

>I can see Miu beating Yuka as well, to get the rub. >TJPW bookers actually doing something exciting more than twice a year
they are booking the golden girl Yuka to win the thing. It should be Mizuki, but are they really going to let Shoko lose this early when she's just become the top dog (or wolf or whatever she is supposed to be?)
I hope Miu Watanabe wins! Her strong mind and physical strength are very important components of professional wrestling
Evan Collins
MagiRabbi's going to les the belts and Mizuki's going to join Bii-gun and win. Rika will start teaming with Ito so they can take down Bii-gun and bring back Mizuki and Misao.
Hudson Parker
God, Mizukichan is so cute.
Caleb Thompson
Miu never drew a streamer
Joshua Hall
Mizuki is not joining. She will be able to defend herself from Sakisama. Yuka was challenger just recently. I'd let Miu beat her and loose in semis. Mizuki beating Shoko in second round, she is a challenger then and Mizuki loosing against Natsumi? Finals Natsumi vs. Rika?
>Mizuki is not joining Given the visual upgrade Misao got after joining I don't see why anyone wouldn't want Mizuki-Dark
Nathan Evans
I would want that, but from reports, Mizuki has the longest merch lines. She cannot join, that would be leaving too much money on the table.

Also the best match (emotionally) for me was Hikari vs. Natsumi. They were very vicious with each other. Yamashita basically destroying Mizuki was fun as well. The worst was Raku vs. Ito.
Julian Wilson
Does she get any merch perks for being a freelancer? Like does she get to keep more profit than the signed up gals?
Also speaking of merch where can i get the green and pink Magirabbits t ?
Yeah Hikari and Natsumi was great. Hikari needs to get out of UUG, she's outgrown them
>The worst was Raku vs. Ito. Not even close. It was a fune 5 minute match and leagues above Yuna/Yuki because Yuki has absolutely nothing going for her. Doesn't do anything interesting, doesn't do anything well, crowds don't really care and she's dragged down Nodoka.
