1. Ryota Nakatsu (2)
-. Mike Bailey (2)
-. Mizuki Watase (2)
4. Guanchulo (0)
-. Daiki Shimomura (0)
-. Nobuhiro Shimatani (0)

Day 1 of the DNA Grand Prix did not end happily for Guanchulo. He came out wearing a Shunma Katsumata t-shirt and even used his Double Stomp to try and beat Ryota Nakatsu. But a Head Kick, German Suplex and Cross Armbreaker put an end to any hope that the power of friendship would save the day. Nakatsu thinks Mike Bailey is the only one in his group that will give him a challenge.

MAO’s quick attack on Kouki Iwasaki to start their match gave him the edge. He hit the Alien Plancha then seated him on a chair for the John Woo Dropkick. Back in the ring Iwasaki tried to wear down MAO with an Anklelock but MAO rolled out of it and stunned him with a High Screw Kick. A modified Rock Bottom and the Cannonball 450 earned MAO his first two points. MAO is aware that his knee will be targeted by his opponents.

In his official debut match Yuki Ueno had the unenviable task of wrestling Kazusada Higuchi. Ueno at one point knocked Higuchi off his feet with a Dropkick and even put him in a Crab Hold. Higuchi fought back with the Oklahoma Stampede and Nodowa Otoshi for nearfalls. Ueno got a two count of his own with a Frog Splash but a Doctor Bomb from Higuchi ended the match afterwards. Higuchi described the match as him welcoming Ueno to DNA.

Mike Bailey avoided an Asai DDT en route to beating Daiki Shimomura. Bailey says the tournament running for 5 consecutive days is like running a marathon. He wants to continue running until the end.

For his first match in Japan, Royce Isaacs was too powerful for Rekka to handle. He countered a Triangle Choke into a Turnbuckle Bomb then followed with a German Suplex into a Rock Bottom. Isaacs said he didn’t come to DNA to make friends. He came to test his strength. He wants to compare his power with Higuchi’s power. Rekka felt like all of his ability and technique were useless against Isaacs.

Mizuki Watase opened up the tournament with a win over Nobuhiro Shimatani. He hit a big Back Drop for the three count. Watase knows that he has a long way to go this week. His priority is to avoid losing against Nakatsu.

Shunma Katsumata was in attendance to say he will return from injury at “DDT FES 2016” in November.

BASARA “VAJRA 19 ~OSAKA WINTER OF JIN TAISHO~”, 16/10/2016
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall
154 Fans

1. Hi69 defeated Tomoya Kawamura with the Just Facelock (10:35).
2. Wrestling Laughs Festival: Daichi Kazato defeated Gouma Ryu with an Argentine Backbreaker (13:36).
3. Hardcore Match: Isami Kodaka Vs GUNSO ended in a Double Knock Out (17:35).
4. Osaka Metal Festival: FUMA & HAYATA defeated Yusuke Kubo & Madoka when FUMA pinned Kubo with the Heavy Metal Anthem (15:23).
5. Special 6-Man Tag Team Match: Koji Kanemoto, Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Takumi Tsukamoto & SAGAT when Sekine submitted SAGAT with the Let’s Combine (16:38).

Koji Kanemoto got into the spirit of things by joining in with Cavalry’s “horse riding” entrance. He was even introduced as the Supreme Commander of Cavalry. When the main event was over Ryuichi Sekine told Kanemoto that BASARA will return to Osaka on 8th January next year and asked that he make that date a priority. Kanemoto replied that today was just a practice for the Januray show.

The battle of IRON PRIEST finished with no bad blood between anyone. The four of them all gave each other heavy metal hand signs instead of handshakes.

An Avalanche Brainbuster from a ladder led to both Isami Kodaka and GUNSO failing to get back to their feet before the ten count, resulting in a Double KO Draw. Kodaka said it was impossible for them to go into overtime. He and GUNSO were then able to bond over Shonen Jump talk.

6. UTAN Festa 2016 Special 6-Man Tag Team Match: HARASHIMA, Yoshihiro Takayama & Akito defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Antonio Honda & Mike Bailey when HARASHIMA pinned Honda with the Somato (15:20).

Antonio Honda is still taking time out during his matches to talk about foxes. This time it was done to distract his opponents so Konosuke Takeshita & Mike Bailey could attack when their guards dropped. The three of them wound up to do a Triple Bionic Elbow to HARASHIMA but hey were all cut off. HARASHIMA then led his team through a train attack on Honda ending with the match winning Somato. HARASHIMA said DDT will continue doing the Utan shows in Tokyo JR Omori Station for another 10, 20 and 30 years!

Makoto Oishi was able to beat Seiya Morohashi when Morohashi missed a Diving Headbutt. That gave Oishi the opening to do the Miracle Ecstasy and also a Frog Splash. Oishi called out the Battle Royal winner Chikara to make next year’s World Omori Title match official.

A wrestler impersonation contest was held during the show. Some of the contestants imitated wrestlers like Keiji Muto and Kazuchika Okada. There was even a woman who imitated Jiro Kuroshio. Chinsuke Nakamura made an entrance wearing a home made NXT Title belt. Munenori Sawa then made a surprise appearance to do a Pro Wres LOVE pose. The judges Tomomitsu Matsunaga and Sanshiro Takagi picked Chinsuke and Sawa as the winners.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “OSAKA LOVE RIN” Results

October 17, 2016

yuu-throw

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “OSAKA LOVE RIN”, 16/10/2016
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall
164 Fans

1. Akane Miura defeated Marika Kobashi with the Lariat (4:14).
2. 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Azusa Takigawa and Maho Kurone when Nakajima pinned Takigawa with the Northern Lights Suplex (8:36).
3. Reika Saiki defeated Nonoko with a Camel Clutch (6:44).
4. Mil Clown defeated Hyper Misao with the Mil Clutch α (6:35).
5. Rika Tatsumi & Miyu Yamshita defeated Yuu & Nodoka Onee-san when Tatsumi pinned Nodoka with the Dragon Twist Of Fate (13:55).

Rika Tatsumi continues to build momentum for her TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title Match with Yuu. However Yuu didn’t take today’s tag team defeat well and continued fighting with Tatsumi & Miyu Yamashita after the match. When Yuu left ringside Tatsumi said she will return to Osaka as the champion.

Yuka Sakazaki’s twin sister from the Magic Country Mil Clown was victorious in her debut match. Her opponent Hyper Misao didn’t believe Clown was Sakazaki’s sister but instead was one of her enemies. This match would help Misao figure out if Clown is good or evil. Clown quickly showed her colours when she twisted Misao’s hand during a handshake. Clown used some rolling Lucha to win the match. Her teddy bear companion Kumaun spoke on her behalf in the post-match interview. Kumaun said Clown had fun but is getting used to being away from Magic Country. Clown can’t tell if she is good or evil in this land. It’s something she never had to worry about back home.

Just how strong is Reika Saiki? Well, so strong she can give a Brainbuster to Nonoko. She can also submit Nonoko with the Camel Clutch.
