DDT “SUNDAY KASUKABIAN! 2018”, 18/03/2018
Saitama Kasukabe Hall
260 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Makoto Oishi, Antonio Honda & Saki Akai defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Honda pinned Hirata with the TTD (9:16).
2. KUDO & Masahiro Takanashi defeated MAO & Yuki Ueno when Takanashi pinned Ueno with the Takatonic (12:26).
3. Naomi Yoshimura defeated Ethan Page with the Throwaway Power Bomb (9:11).
4. Special Single Match: Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Kota Umeda ended in a Double Countout (7:53).
5. Daisuke Sasaki & Nobuhiro Shimatani defeated Danshoku Dino & Keisuke Ishii when Shimatani pinned Dino with a School Boy (8:39).
6. HARASHIMA & Soma Takao defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Kouki Iwasaki when Takao pinned Iwasaki with the Gin And Tonic (11:38).
7. Konosuke Takeshita, Akito & Shunma Katsumata defeated Shuji Ishikawa, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie when Takeshita pinned Ishikawa with a Lariat (21:11).

In the rivalry between Konosuke Takeshita and Shuji Ishikawa, Takeshita is beginning to gain back some ground. He sent a major message out by withstanding Ishikawa’s Running Knee Lift so he could pin him with a Lariat. Takeshita told the fans that there is nothing to worry about. It won’t be easy but Takeshita is certain he will retain the KO-D Openweight Title against Ishikawa at Sumo Hall. “Please look forward to it!”

HARASHIMA took out Kazusada Higuchi with a Somato to the back while Higuchi was sitting on the ring apron. With him out of the way, Soma Takao was able to pin Kouki Iwasaki with the Gin And Tonic.

Danshoku Dino is learning that actions can have repercussions. His antics of transforming into The Great Homo have not gone unnoticed by The Great Muta. A message was sent to DDT during the week saying there is now a Poison Curse surrounding Dino. Wherever Dino goes, Muta will possess the people around him and make them spit Poison Mist at his face. It has gone far enough to effect Dino’s everyday life. Whether he goes to get a massage or visits the dentist, there are people who spit mist at him. At the show today Dino denied such a curse exists but he was misted again throughout the show by ring announcers, referees, other wrestlers and even fans!

Nobuhiro Shimatani wore a DAMNATION shirt to mark his first time teaming with Daisuke Sasaki. Dino was misted by Yuki Iino before the match. Then when Dino had Shimatani beaten, Yukinori Matsui spat more mist at him! Shimatani took advantage and pinned Dino with a School Boy, getting his biggest victory in his career.

Tensions between Yukio Sakaguchi and Kota Umeda got so bad their match was thrown out as they spent too much time fighting outside the ring. Yuki Ueno, KUDO and Masahiro Takanashi had to pull them apart from each other after the match.

Keisuke Okuda helped Naomi Yoshimura beat Ethan Page. Matsui got knocked down during the match and Okuda came in to help Yoshimura. They gave Page an STO double team move and an assisted Throwaway Power Bomb leading to Yoshimura getting the three count when Matsui got back up. Yoshimura said that he and Okuda will win the Tag Gauntlet at Sumo Hall and nobody can stop them. Not LiLiCo. Not Reika Saiki. Nobody! Page promised to get revenge and win the Tag Gauntlet with Antonio Honda.

Kazuki Hirata was allowed to do his dance entrance in full today. He thanked the other wrestlers for allowing him to do it then teased that some of them might be in the upcoming Loser Expulsion Match on 1st April. The smile was wiped from his face when Sanshiro Takagi told him that he will be in the match! Hirata panicked because he lost the last Expulsion Match. He’s already decided to stack up on Red Bull and egg sandwiches if it happens again.


BASARA “VAJRA 62 ~BATTLE OF OKE OKAMA~” Results

March 18, 2018

BASARA “VAJRA 62 ~BATTLE OF OKE OKAMA~”, 18/03/2018
Aichi Rokujima Sports Center
143 Fans

1. Yusuke Kubo defeated Akiyori Takizawa with a Gedo Clutch (9:26).
2. Reversal Pro Wrestling Trial: MC.33 defeated Gouma Ryu and Tomoya Hasegawa when MC.33 pinned Ryu with a German Suplex (9:03).
3. 3 Way Match: FUMA defeated Takato Nakano and Yasu Urano when FUMA pinned Nakano with the Metal Fire From Hell (9:37).
4. Kazuhiro Tamura defeated Daichi Kazato with the Minoru Special (11:22).
5. Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu defeated Fuminori Abe & Yusaku Ito when Sekine submitted Abe with the Let’s Combine (12:14).
6. Aldini Brothers Vs Sakigake! Metal Family: Isami Kodaka & Takumi Tsukamoto defeated SAGAT & Trans-Am ★ Shinya when Tsukamoto pinned SAGAT with the Zudon (16:02).

The Aldini Brothers were teaming again and this time they had a lot of championship belts with them. Takumi Tsukamoto brought along his Big Japan Tag Team Title belt but felt jealous of Isami Kodaka’s collection of four titles. After the main event he challenged Kodaka to a Union MAX Title match. He admits he does not know about the history behind the belt so was never interested in chasing after it when it was revived. However, watching other BASARA wrestlers challenge for the title and fail has encouraged him to give it a try. Kodaka accepted the challenge and made the match for 29th March. He then confirmed that the champion coming out of that match will next defend the belt in Korakuen Hall on 3rd May. He also told Tsukamoto that the belt belongs to BASARA now. It doesn’t matter if the Union Pro name is still attached to it. Just look at the NWA and how their titles still exist when the companies they came from disappear.

In the Wrestling Trial match, Tomoya Hasegawa was accused of abandoning his job to attend an Ice Ribbon show. His fate was decided by MC.33’s music quiz. It broke down into a fight and MC.33 pinned Hasegawa with a German Suplex. Hasegawa was then declared guilty.

Matches Made For “DDT LIVE! MAJI MANJI #1”

March 16, 2018

DDT “DDT LIVE! MAJI MANJI #1”, 10/04/2018
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Maji Manji Tournament – Round 1: Makoto Oishi Vs Maki Itoh
2. Maji Manji Tournament – Round 1: Yuki Ueno Vs Lady Beard
3. Maji Manji Tournament – Round 1: MAO Vs Ken Ohka
4. Maji Manji Tournament – Round 1: Shunma Katsumata Vs Kota Umeda

DDT kicks off its new weekly series on AbemaTV with the first round of a tournament to find a new star. The winner of the tournament will be “fully backed up” by AbemaTV for future projects. Each match will have a 5 minute time limit and in the case of a draw the winner will be determined by a viewer vote on the AbemaTV webpage. This is a big project for DDT because the show will be airing at “Golden Time”, the biggest broadcasting time slot of the day. The logo represents that with the golden colour scheme along with the manji logo made to resemble two people wrestling each other, according to Sanshiro Takagi.

Most of the contestants were brought together for a press conference and it almost ended in a fight when Ken Ohka and Maki Itoh argued with each other. Ito later tried to start a fight with Kota Umeda when she caught Umeda laughing at her.

Danshoku Dino also has something planned for the show. He is organising a segment called “Danshoku Souls” with the goal of finding a successor. It does not matter the age, gender or occupation of the person, Dino wants to find the perfect person to transfer his Danshoku Soul to when it is time for him to go away.

7. Special Single Match: Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Kota Umeda

This is the last DDT show before “JUDGEMENT 2018” a week later. The two matches I have the most interest in are Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Kota Umeda and Ethan Page Vs Naomi Yoshimura. Two fresh grudges for different reasons. Umeda is facing his former “brother” one on one while Page wants to show he is much stronger than Yoshimura.

4. DDT Extreme Title: Yuko Miyamoto (c) Vs Mike Bailey

Mike Bailey gets the DDT Extreme Title shot. The match stipulation has yet to be decided by Yuko Miyamoto.

High stakes are being made by Sanshiro Takagi. He is making himself and Toru Owashi put their DDT careers on the line against two unknown opponents. Whoever takes the losing fall in the match will no longer be allowed inside a DDT ring ever again. Usually when this happens the losing wrestler discovers a long lost foreign relative to take his place.

Last July, Saki Akai won a Battle Royal and was rewarded the role of DDT General Manager for one day. She spent months thinking up ideas until she was finally ready to put a show together in Shinjuku FACE. She thought she would be on her own but everyone in DDT was happy to help and were willing to use all of her ideas. With their support, Akai described the preparations for the show were like playing with a toy box. It wasn’t a perfect show by her own admission. Akai rated it “60 Points” (I assume out of 100) and wished she could have given herself more talk time. But she wanted the show to be like a festival and she is glad that everybody had fun.

The amount of attention Akai was getting today created some jealousy amongst the DDT roster. During the opening introductions, Akai had to wear the Amon Tsurumi afro wig that represents the GM role. While she was speaking to the audience, Danshoku Dino tried to grab the afro. Akai stopped him and said that the afro will be up for grabs at the end of the show. Whoever wears the afro will be allowed to become the GM for one day but it must be used within one year. However when the main event ended Akai never brought up the match. Dino stepped in and reminded her about it. Fearing that everyone was about to gang up on her, Akai threw down the afro and said the next person to pick it up and wear it will win the GM rights. Everyone who was involved in the show fought over the afro. Even Hisaya Imabayashi snuck in to try and get his old role back. Akai and Makoto Oishi were the last two left standing but they knocked each other out. The afro ended up on Kazuki Hirata’s head and the referee counted to three. Hirata was declared the winner!

For the main event, each wrestler was given a fashion makeover to wear for their entrances. MAO wore a pink parka, Akito wore a poncho, KUDO wore rider gear, Shunma Katsumata was in a cap and T-shirt, Soma Takao wore a kimono while carrying and umbrella and Konosuke Takeshita was covered in a fur coat. Their regular wrestling gear were all on underneath so when the match started it was business as usual. The winning team were rewarded with a hair care set from the show’s sponsor.

Although Akai didn’t have an official match on the show, her close friend Saki-sama was there with the rest of NEO Biishiki-gun to make up for it. Their opponents T2HiJoshi introduced their secret weapon Kazuko Higuchi who came out wearing bunny ears and a pink dress. Higuchi gave a rose to Yukio Saint Laurent and confessed her love to him. He hit her and threatened to stab her with an injection. Higuchi powered out of his grip and tore her dress off in anger. Higuchi went on a rampage, clearing the ring until Yukio stopped her by sticking the injection in her forehead. Saki-sama hit Kazuko Hirata with the Two Stage Face Kick to win the match. She called her opponents truly ugly, especially the one that turned into a monster halfway through the match.

Everybody in Match #3 was given glasses of champagne to drink while they wrestled. A table was set up next to the ring so they could get their drinks refilled. They all drank glasses after every kickout then argued with each other about being drunk. Jun Kasai asked Daisuke Sasaki why he didn’t bring the DDT Extreme Title with him to the ring. DJ Nira then convinced everyone to form a human tower so Kasai could hit the Pearl Harbour Splash but the tower collapsed. Tetsuya Endo tried to do a Moonsault but overshot his target and missed. Sasaki then decided to put Daisuke Kiso in the Crossface Lock while Nira did Elbow Drops to Inoue Mic. The match got so out of control that Yukinori Matsui stepped in and declared a no contest. There was no accurate match time because Mic was distracted by Nira’s attack so DDT just assumes it lasted around 15 minutes.

Aja Kong was not impressed by all of the wrestlers impersonating her in the tribute Battle Royal. She refused to participate and spent the match doing commentary at the broadcast table. She buried the match by complaining about the colour of Makoto Oishi’s face paint being wrong and the match quality dropping when Gorgeous Matsuno entered the ring. She then watched on in disbelief at Antonio Honda and Super Sasadango Machine reenacting the time when Kong cut off Bison Kimura’s hair. Maki Itoh got into the spirit of things by scaring HARASHIMA with a loud scream. When Itoh took out a banana to make fun Kong’s name, Aja had enough and entered the match with a steel can in hand! Kong cleaned out the ring but Itoh stood up to her and even gave her a Headbutt! Kong shrugged it off and pinned Itoh with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Oishi tried to sneak attack Kong but he got the can placed over his head and he was knocked out with the Uraken for his troubles. Dino congratulated Kong for winning and asked if he could become Aja Kong II. She called him rude and knocked him out with the Uraken.

Everybody in the opening 6 Way Match was dressed as some sort of delinquent. They all tried to intimidate each other and fought dirty when it was time to wrestle. But it wasn’t all nasty. Nobuhiro Shimatani took a time out to tell Yoshiko how much he likes her. Yukio Sakaguchi interrupted the moment by attacking Yoshino. Shimatani then got singled out and was attacked by all the others until Yoshiko pinned him with the Diving Senton.

Mizuki Watase was so jealous of everybody in their main event getting their hair and make-up done that he went and got a makeover too. All it led to was Daiki Shimomura playing with Watase’s hair while they wrestled.

*Makoto Oishi becomes the 1,296th champion.

Konosuke Takeshita returned to the Osaka building where he attended DDT shows as a child. Although now instead of Danshoku Dino terrorising him it is now Shuji Ishikawa doing it. DAMNATION beat ALL OUT in the main event where Takeshita received more damage to his waist and lower back. With The Great Homo nowhere to be seen, Tetsuya Endo was able to win the match for his team. Ishikawa told Takeshita to come at him with all of his strength at Sumo Hall. In return he will do everything he can to crush him. Daisuke Sasaki reminded Ishikawa that he is banned from singing until Sumo Hall. His karaoke hobby began here back in January and Sasaki hasn’t forgotten the nightmare he got from listening to it. Sasaki complained about Takeshita missing shows because of his injury while DAMNATION doesn’t have any time to rest. DAMNATION has to practice singing karaoke along with Mad Paulie preparing an extraordinary dance routine!

The wave of momentum that Kazusada Higuchi was stopped dead thanks to a HARASHIMA Buzzsaw Kick. The strike knocked Higuchi out but he regained consciousness while HARASHIMA celebrated. Higuchi was so mad over what happened that he attacked HARASHIMA at ringside and threw chairs at him. HARASHIMA escaped into the ring while other wrestlers tried to calm down Higuchi to little effect. HARASHIMA rubbed it in by accepting the match prize from the show sponsor with a big smile on his face.

Mizuki Watase attended the Ganbare☆Wrestling show held earlier in the day and was impressed with the main event where Ken Ohka refused to submit to Magnitude Kishiwada. Inspired by the bout, Watase wanted to wrestle in a Give Up Only Match. If his team lost then he won’t ask for the stipulation again. His idea ended with a bad result when he gave up to a lewd Triangle Choke from Danshoku Dino.

KUDO showed more fire than usual thanks to the recent performances against him by Kota Umeda & Yuki Ueno. Umeda said he finally got a taste of KUDO’s real power today. Ueno said even though he was pinned, he wasn’t burned out. He’ll be ready to win their remaining matches leading up to Sumo Hall.

Sanshiro Takagi and MAO continued to fight each other during the Falls Count Anywhere 8-Man Tag. Takagi also tried to set off another Anal Explosion in Nobuhiro Shimatani but MAO stopped him. Chinsuke Nakamura made his entrance up on the balcony but found his way to the ring eventually. Takagi dragged Shimatani over to a table by the stage entrance. He then climbed the entrance gate and dove onto Shimatani, putting him through the table to win the match.

Ethan Page attacked Naomi Yoshimura with a High Kick and a Big Boot after the 4 Way Match.

Shortly after the show ended there were a couple of Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title changes in the venue. The belt went from Soma Takao to Kazuki Hirata to Yuni to Makoto Oishi. Mizuki Watase tried to get the belt but Oishi escaped.


GANBARE☆WRESTLING “YOU’RE MY SUNSHINE 2018” Results

March 13, 2018

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “YOU’RE MY SUNSHINE 2018”, 11/03/2018
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall
101 Fans

1. Ganbare, Ihashi! Show It! The “U” Of Ihashi: Takaku Fuke defeated Gota Ihashi with a Scorpion Lock (7:59).
2. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs Katsumura-gun In OSAKA: Shuichiro Katsumura & Takeshi Okada defeated Yumehito Imanari & Shuhei Washida when Katsumura submitted Washida with the Ninja Choke (15:20).
3. Do You Regulate The City In Osaka!?: HARUKAZE defeated Miyako Matsumoto by beating up Daisuke Kiso (13:26).
4. Decisive Battle! Ganpuro Vs Osaka!: Shota & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated TORU & Katsumi Oribe when Shota pinned Oribe with a School Boy (13:39).
5. Special Single Match ~ Charisma Of Ganpuro Vs The Strongest Man In Osaka: Magnitude Kishiwada defeated Ken Ohka with a Chicken Wing Armlock (17:31).
5a. Rematch: Magnitude Kishiwada defeated Ken Ohka with an Arm Lock (3:22).

For Ganbare☆Wrestling’s visit to Osaka, Ken Ohka wanted to face the strongest wrestler the city has. That’s where Magnitude Kishiwada comes in. The Osaka brute bloodied Ohka with a chairshot and took his best moves before dropping him with the Last Ride and winning with a Chicken Wing Armlock submission. Kishiwada ran down Ohka on the microphone afterwards and asked if he was still feeling motivated. Ohka despite being beaten down said that he could still wrestle for another hour or two. He can fight Kishiwada again right now! An immediate rematch was agreed to and the bell rang. Kishiwada hit a Moonsault and went for another Last Ride. Ohka escaped the move and hit the Fire Spear for a nearfall. Kishiwada hit back with a Lariat and the Diving Body Press but Ohka kicked out of the pin. Kishiwada grabbed Ohka’s arm again and pulled it back in an Arm Lock. The match was stopped and the seconds at ringside broke up the hold. Kishiwada ran down Ohka again. He doesn’t care that Ohka does his best because he does his best dozens of times, hundreds of times and thousands of times better than Ohka! He left Ohka in the ring to soak in the defeat. Ohka was upset over being so weak but he will not give up. It is a stupid idea but he will not give up so the next time he comes to Osaka he can beat Kishiwada! Those words brought Kishiwada back out. Is Ohka being honest? Would he fight Kishiwada over and over in any venue until he can win even if Kishiwada breaks his arms? Ohka told him he would but Kishiwada walked off as he was speaking. Kishiwada complained that Ohka was being noisy but suggested that maybe they will have a rematch again some day.

The match between HARUKAZE and Miyako Matsumoto took a break so both women could have a talk show style conversation about divorce. Daisuke Kiso was invited into the talk and he revealed this year is the 10th anniversary of his divorce from his first marriage. Matsumoto attacked HARUKAZE to continue the match. Ken Ohka entered the ring and announced due to strong demand that the match was now taking place under “Flag Koda” rules. Both women were given a single boxing glove and the first one to punch Koda would win. However Kiso was handed a bat to defend himself with. Kiso fought off Matsumoto with the bat but turned around and took a punch from HARUKAZE. Ohka declared HARUKAZE the winner. He praised both of them for a great match. Ohka encouraged HARUKAZE to continue being the ace of Ganbare☆Joshi and also wished Matsumoto luck on her upcoming championship match in Ice Ribbon.

Yumehito Imanari and Takeshi Okada kept fighting after Match #2. When they were kept apart, Shuichiro Katsumura asked Imanari how he feels about his current losing streak. He doesn’t mind if he continues beating him in matches and challenged Imanari to a 3 Vs 3 match on 21st March. Katsumura will bring along his regular Katsumura-gun partners Takeshi Okada and Black Ribera to be on his team.

Takaku Fuke gave Gota Ihashi some words of encouragement after their match.

7a. Replay: Konosuke Takeshita, Akito & Shunma Katsumata defeated Shuji Ishikawa, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie when Takeshita pinned Paulie with a Lariat (7:46).

It was an eventful week for Konosuke Takeshita. A few days ago he graduated from university and today was his first match back from a minor back injury. Unfortunately Shuji Ishikawa was there ready and waiting to make his comeback a painful one. Ishikawa’s plan is simple. Injure Takeshita so badly that he cannot make it to Sumo Hall. Then Ishikawa will become the KO-D Openweight Champion by default and instead of a match at “JUDGEMENT 2018” he can sing and dance with Mad Paulie for an hour to close out the show. DAMNATION attacked ALL OUT to start the main event and Ishikawa kept attacking Takeshita with a chair until the referee disqualified him. Akito & Shunma Katsumata pulled Ishikawa away but were knocked back by his Double Shoulder Block. When Ishikawa turned around, Takeshita was there to Clothesline him out of the ring. The match restarted as a 6-Man Tag bout with Katsumata & Tetsuya Endo added in. Takeshita’s waist took a lot of damage throughout but he gutted it through and beat Mad Paulie with a Lariat. Takeshita said his body is in a lot of bad places right now but his heart isn’t broken. It is thanks to ALL OUT and the cheers of his fans that he still stands.

If you get hit by the Somato enough times you will eventually figure out a way to counter it. That’s the eureka moment Kazusada Higuchi discovered today. He avoided the move and caught HARASHIMA in a Japanese Leg Roll Clutch for the unexpected pinfall victory. Higuchi told HARASHIMA the battle will continue in Osaka tomorrow and he will beat him there too. Then at Sumo Hall he will win the KO-D Tag Team Titles from HARASHIMA & Naomichi Marufuji to stand tall in the centre of DDT!

Tetsuya Endo’s confrontation with The Great Homo was chaotic. Homo dragged Endo under the ring then he chased him around ringside. Endo tried to fight him off with his high impact moves but couldn’t succeed. Homo brought a chair into the ring and hit the Shining Ateji while Endo was sitting on it. Homo then drank milk to power up the Lip Lock but Endo gave him the Lip Lock instead! The effects didn’t last and Homo applied the Lip Lock back to Endo, sending him bumping into the referee. The match was stopped and no winner was determined. Homo continued to attack Endo and also Mizuki Watase when Watase tried to stop him. Homo pulled down the back of Watase’s shorts and spat the milk mist at him. That was when the room went dark and Nerima Sting appeared! Nerima Sting attacked Homo with the black bat and gave him the Scorpion Death Drop. He then pulled Homo out of the ring and dragged him out of the building.

The DNA team showed no fear against Shuten-dōji and attacked them from the bell. Tomomitsu Matsunaga was the obvious odd man out in the Shuten-dōji. His presence in the match was ironic given that Masahiro Takanashi previously said the DNA team should be calling themselves Pigging 2018. Umeda pinned Matsunaga but the action didn’t end after the match. A staredown between the two was interrupted by a Yukio Sakaguchi Dropkick to Umeda and Yuki Ueno from out of nowhere. A brawl between the two sides began and ended with another staredown.

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title was back at a DDT show for Super Sasadango Machine’s latest defence. During his time away from shows, Sasadango lost and won back the belt twice. Once to a food employee and another to the singer Kaede from the music group Negicco. Today the belt was on the line in a special Royal Rumble where the wrestlers were entered in order of their age. The wrestlers in their 20’s began the match, then the wrestlers in their 30’s entered next, then the wrestlers in their 40’s. Saki Akai didn’t like being put in the 30’s group but she had to because she turned 30 back in January. MAO was the last man standing and he pinned Sasadango to become the new champion. But his celebration was short lived when Sanshiro Takagi gave him a School Boy and won the belt. He told MAO he will blow him up at Sumo Hall but he was then Super Kicked by Soma Takao. Takao Cradled Takagi into a Small Package for the three count. Takao then admitted he isn’t that interested in being the Iron Man Champion. But he is looking forward to teaming with Yuko Miyamoto for the Sumo Hall Falls Count Anywhere Match!

There was no love lost between Keisuke Ishii and Daisuke Sasaki in their match. Sasaki ambushed Ishii and attacked him with a chair but Ishii later evened the odds by giving Sasaki a Fisherman Buster onto the ring apron. Sasaki knocked over the referee to avoid the Tiger Suplex and went to get a chair. Ishii was rescued by The Great Homo who came out from beneath the ring. Homo blinded Sasaki with the Milk Mist and hit him with the Shining Ateji. Ishii grabbed Sasaki and hit the Double Arm DDT as the referee recovered to get the win.

Ethan Page and Antonio Honda are teaming together to enter the Tag Gauntlet Match at “JUDGEMENT 2018”. Page wants to fight Naomi Yoshimura in the match to prove he is stronger than him.

6. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) defeated Maho Kurone with the Crash Rabbit Heat (12:55).
*V3 for Miyu Yamashita.

A terrifying challenge lay ahead for Miyu Yamashita. It was definitely her most dangerous TOKYO Princess Title defence to date as Maho Kurone used a chair to beat up the champion. However, Yamashita saw an opportunity when Kurone was arguing with the referee over the chair usage. Yamashita grabbed Kurone and gave her a Backbreaker onto the edge of the chair! Kurone wasn’t beaten yet and she kicked out of a German Suplex. Yamashita unleashed a bunch of kicks and a Missile Dropkick to weaken the zombie. Kurone withstood the attacks and was trying to stand back up until Yamashita struck her with a Buzzsaw Kick. Finally, Kurone was defeated with the Crash Rabbit Heat.

After the main event Yamashita called it a crazy match because she fought a zombie armed with a chair. But it was fun and another reason why Tokyo Joshi Pro gives her the best companions and rivals. Rika Tatsumi stepped into the ring and said she is disappointed because she wanted to see her friend Kurone change the world today. Tatsumi wants to help Tokyo Joshi to grow and become more exciting. Even though she has lost several title matches already, she wants to be Yamashita’s next challenger even though she is a loser. Yamashita told Tatsumi she isn’t a loser and is cooler than she thinks. To prove it, Yamashita will give her a title shot at Korakuen Hall on 3rd May! Tatsumi promised to win but Yamashita warned she is still stronger than her.

Marika Kobashi was left frustrated after another loss to NEO Biishiki-gun. She gave Azusa Christie a Bulldog Headlock but Christie held on to her and rolled her into a Cradle for the flash three count. Kobashi refused to accept defeat and said she will continue to fight them. Christie called her rude. Saki-sama joined in and added a bunch of insults. If Saki is a swan flying in the sky then Kobashi is a crow inside a trash can. If Saki is a beautiful and blooming rose then Kobashi is a fake flower selling for 5 yen. Saki-sama promoted her friend Saki Akai’s show being held next week and then left.

Maki Itoh wanted to go at full speed against Rika Tatsumi, going as far as to shout her intentions out loud as she ran the ropes. That gave Tatsumi the idea to target her legs. Itoh fought out of the Figure 4 Leglock and applied a Crab Hold but Tatsumi reached the ropes and told her the move was ineffective. Itoh avoided a DDT and Headbutted Tatsumi but Tatsumi returned fire with a Hip Attack. She then hit the Dragon Twist Of Fate and a Diving Hip Attack to win.

Yuki Kamifuku played dumb to avoid getting involved in the action during the 3 Way Match, calling the idea too dangerous for her. When Yuka Sakazaki and Nodoka-oneesan turned their attention to her, she acted like she was being forced to fight in a Handicap Match against both of them and cowered away. She then attacked them when they dropped their guard. However Sakazaki fought back and pinned her with the Magical Girl Splash.
