November 23, 2019

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’19 ~BEST REGARDS~”, 23/11/2019
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
240 Fans

1. Mizuki, Yuki Aino & Mirai Maiumi defeated Yuna Manase, Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Aino pinned Kiryu with the Side Suplex (11:02).
2. 1 Vs 2 Handicap Match: Miyu Yamashita defeated Haruna Neko & Pom Harajuku when Yamashita pinned Neko with the Attitude Adjustment (6:48).
3. Misao defeated Suzume with the Libera Me (6:21).
4. Hikari Noa & Mina Shirakawa defeated Maki Itoh & Raku when Noa pinned Raku with the Uranage (11:47).
5. Sakisama Vs Rika Tatsumi ended in a No Contest when Misao interfered (10:23).
6. Yuka Sakazaki & Shoko Nakajima defeated Miu Watanabe & Nodaka Tenma when Nakajima pinned Tenma after the Malmö Comians (12:06).

Shoko Nakajima returns from Mexico full of confidence. Her first move back in Japan was pulling off a successful Miraclians reunion with Yuka Sakazaki. The two used their Malmö Comians double team move to get the win. Nakajima wants to make full use out of what she learned in Mexico for Tokyo Joshi Pro. Also she hated the toilets in Mexico.

The match between Sakisama and Rika Tatsumi went awry when Tatsumi missed a Hip Attack and hit the referee by mistake. Misao entered the ring to help Sakisama but her Jumping Knee Attack missed Tatsumi and hit Sakisama instead. Misao then attacked Tatsumi but Tatsumi held onto her. When the referee got back up and tried to separate them he was pushed away. He then called off the match. Sakisama is now sick of having to deal with Misao’s problem with Tatsumi. She stormed out of the ring, leaving Misao behind. Embarrassed by what happened, Misao challenged Tatsumi to a singles match. Tatsumi accepted but wants the match to be held on 30th November. Tatsumi told everyone this is her last chance to bring Hyper Misao back.

Hikari Noa challenged Maki Itoh for the International Princess Title. Itoh told her they had a match over a month ago and Itoh beat her then. Noa then said she originally wanted to challenge Natsumi Maki when she became the first champion but wasn’t confident enough at the time. Now she has changed and her goal is to win the title and defend it against Maki when she returns from injury. Her story convinced Itoh to change her mind and accept the challenge. She wants the match to be held at a “sunny stage” so it will be at Korakuen Hall on 4th January!

Saitama Wrestle Battle Hall

1. X Vs X
2. Miyako Matsumoto Vs Jiro Kuroshio

Miyako Matsumoto wanted to wrestle Jiro Kuroshio before he moves to America next year. It took some effort to book a match with his schedule but he is available on Christmas Eve. Another match is planned for the event. Bigger cards in the future depend on the success of this show.

GAKE NO FUCHI JOSHI PRO “GAKEPPUCHI SNOW WHITE 2020”, 04/01/2020
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

Sanshiro Takagi noticed that the 4th January is becoming an important date on the calendar for joshi wrestling. Tokyo Joshi Pro has established an annual Korakuen Hall show on that date, Diana will be running that date for a second year in a row and Stardom is getting in on the action too. Takagi wants to make Gake no Fuchi Joshi Pro number one so he went ahead and booked Itabashi Green Hall on that date in 2020 without telling Matsumoto! However since this company is independent from DDT that means Gake no Fuchi Joshi is now 30,920 yen in debt. The show is called “GAKEPPUCHI SNOW WHITE 2020” because this is an entertainment war and they are competing against “Cinderella”!

16. Shuffle Tag Tournament – Final: X & X Vs X & X

The teams have been drawn. They are:

Yuki Ishikawa & Isami Kodaka
Ryota Hama & Yuki Ueno
Yuko Miyamoto & Daisuke Sasaki
Takuya Nomura & Tetsuya Endo
Ryuichi Kawakami & T-Hawk
El Lindaman & Yukio Naya
Yasufumi Nakanoue & Yuki Iino
Kota Sekifuda & Soma Takao
Daichi Hashimoto & Akito
Yuji Okabayashi & Antonio Honda
Yuya Aoki & HARASHIMA
Ryuji Ito & Shunma Katsumata
Kazuki Hashimoto & Yukio Sakaguchi
Daisuke Sekimoto & Chris Brookes
Orca Uto & Konosuke Takeshita
Brahman Brothers & Naomi Yoshimura

Yuki Ishikawa & Isami Kodaka want to do death matches for the entire tournament. They are calling their team Death Match 4.6 because they represent the 4th and 6th generation of Japanese death match wrestlers. Kodaka promises to bring along a barbed wire board while Ishikawa will bring what he can from the Big Japan dojo.

Yuki Ueno is happy to team with an over 200kg super heavyweight in the form of Ryota Hama.

Yuko Miyamoto & Daisuke Sasaki have taken the team name LaLaToo. The name comes from a well known theatre in Sapporo that hosts transsexual stage shows.

Takuya Nomura wanted to call his team Nomura Army so he chose it without Tetsuya Endo’s permission. Endo accepts the name and will let Nomura make all of the decisions.

Ryuichi Kawakami has been told that his face is similar to T-Hawk’s so it must be good luck that they were drawn together. Their team name is W-Hawk.

Yukio Naya thought he was teaming with T-Hawk but he gets El Lindaman instead. Naya says he will do his best with Lindaman.

Yasufumi Nakanoue & Yuki Iino don’t know each other so they will go to Starbucks together and once they become good friends they can figure out what to call their team.

Kota Sekifuda brought along a stuffed toy lizard and had it perched on his shoulder. Since Soma Takao is from DAMNATION and Sekifuda likes lizards, Takao decided their team will be called HachuNATION.

Daichi Hashimoto & Akito have nothing in common. So after some brain storming they figured that Hashimoto debuted in ZERO1 and Akito’s first match was against Shinjiro Otani. So they are calling themselves Team Shinjiro Otani, or Otani-ism for short.

Yuji Okabayashi & Antonio Honda are called Los Angeles because it is also the Japanese title for “Death Wish 2”. Both of them are fans of the actor Charles Bronson. They told the rest of the teams to learn the synopsis of the movie in preparation for a match against them.

Yuya Aoki & HARASHIMA sees the BJW Jr. Heavyweight Champion and the KO-D Openweight Champion teaming together.

Ryuji Ito & Shunma Katsumata debuted on 29th April, 20 years apart. Obviously that means their team name should be named Team 4.29. Katsumata is nervous to team with Ito but he hopes to absorb as much death match knowledge as he can from him.

Kazuki Hashimoto & Yukio Sakaguchi previously teamed together at the 2015 New Year’s Eve show. They were eliminated in the first round. Hashimoto does not want that to happen again. If it does he will be hiding from Sakaguchi in the locker room.

If Daisuke Sekimoto is teaming with Chris Brookes does that mean he can join Schadenfreude?

Orca Uto & Konosuke Takeshita likes saunas and Orca Uto is a “heat wave master” so they are Team Are You All Set.

Last but not least, Naomi Yoshimura is stuck with The Brahman Brothers. He thinks it is ridiculous that he has to team with them but he may as well go along with their antics. His wrestling style is straightforward so maybe adopting their chaotic style will be beneficial to him.

Muscle Is Revived!

November 21, 2019

MUSCLE “MUSCLE 1”, 27/01/2020
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

The return of Muscle for a special Sumo Hall show back in February was a big success. Nobody was happier about it than Muscle Sakai. Since then he has gained a desire to bring the brand back for a new generation of DDT wrestlers to get involved with. So Muscle is coming back but as a new entity, different from its previous version. The writing has been changed from katakana (マッスル) to hiragana (まっする) and it has a new tagline of “STRONG VARIETY & INTERESTING WRESTLING”. Sakai wants to create something that combines strength with fun. He thinks it would be nice if there was a place where big and strong wrestlers could get the chance to do stuff that is more interesting and stupid than anywhere else.

There are some things that will stay the same. Sakai will be in charge of scripting the show as before and Amon Tsurumi (Hisaya Imabayashi’s alter ego) will return as the general director. They still intend to hold “MUSCLE HOUSE 11” at Budokan Hall in 2030 so those who received tickets at Sakai’s retirement show in 2010 still have that to look forward to. Sakai hopes that DDT will help them make it to that date. No wrestlers have been booked yet. Sakai believes it will be for the good of the entire company if DDT wrestlers participate in more Muscle-like activities.

Astronauts Showdown! Bookstore Pro Wrestling, Delayed Young Drama Cup Final

November 19, 2019

BASARA “BASARA 112 ~BANQUET~”, 26/11/2019
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

2. Ryuichi Sekine, Minoru Fujita & Gouma Ryu Vs Ryota Nakatsu, Daichi Kazato & Masato Kamino
3. Yasu Urano & Takato Nakano Vs Naoki Tanizaki & Akiyori Takizawa
4. Saikyo Tag League 2019 ~ Astronauts Showdown!: Fuminori Abe Vs Takuya Nomura
5. Masahiro Takanashi & Isami Kodaka Vs Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga
6. IRON FIST TAG Titles: FUMA & Yusuke Kubo (c) Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & SAGAT

The Union MAX Champion and his next challenger are teaming up for a match. But why? It’s all Isami Kodaka’s idea and is based on his history with Masahiro Takanashi. When Kodaka was the KO-D Openweight Champion in 2016, Takanashi was one of his challengers. The two teamed together before their title match. Kodaka remembers how tense it was as a champion to team with his challenger. He wants Takanashi to experience the same feeling. He has brought in what he thinks is the best team they should fight, the Speed Of Sounds!

Over in Big Japan this year’s Saikyo Tag League has been going on. Fuminori Abe entered the tournament with Takuya Nomura. The two regularly team together in BJW as Astronauts. Sadly the team only scored 6 points in their group and could not qualify for the semi-finals. So while the final rounds of the tournament is happening in Korakuen Hall, Abe and Nomura will instead be at BASARA wrestling each other.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’19 ~BEST REGARDS~”, 23/11/2019

Rika Tatsumi and Sakisama fight one on one in the continuing battle for Misao’s soul.

DDT “BOOKSTORE PRO WRESTLING AGAIN”, 23/11/2019
Tokyo Inoo Book Store

1. Falls Count Anywhere 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Shinya Aoki, Shunma Katsumata & Yukio Naya

In 2008 when Sanshiro Takagi released his first book, DDT held a wrestling match inside of a bookstore. 11 years later to mark the release of Takagi’s next book, DDT is doing it again!

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2019”, 24/11/2019
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine Vs Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura
2. 4 Way Tag Match: Akito & Shunma Katsumata Vs Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie Vs Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Yukio Naya
3. After Ultimate Party 2019 Special Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita & Jiro Kuroshio Vs Antonio Honda & Miyu Yamashita
4. Saki Akai “Okibariyasu” 7 Match Series – 1st Match: Saki Akai Vs Tsukasa Fujimoto
5. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Time Difference Battle Royal: Kazuki Hirata (c) Vs Michiaki Nakano Vs Toru Owashi Vs Makoto Oishi Vs Mizuki Watase Vs Asuka Vs Hiroshi Yamato
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi & Chris Brookes
7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Yuki Iino

Yuki Iino has been bench pressing 200kg as part of his training for the main event. He thought the public contract signing was a public workout so HARASHIMA was there to see his lift. The downside for this kind of training is Iino risks re-injuring his elbow before the show. He swears it is in perfect condition.

Michiaki Nakano from Souken Holdings had a sparring session with Keigo Nakamura but he got beaten pretty easily. At least the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title is now part of the Battle Royal he is entering.

Saki Akai has said the reason she is doing a 7 match series is to show her guest opponents how interesting wrestling in DDT can be. Tsukasa Fujimoto is no stranger to DDT so she is going into the match wanting to see if Akai is more than just a gorgeous looking pro wrestler. She is curious to see how Akai wrestles against her because Akai has spent almost her entire wrestling career in a company for male wrestlers.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “WHITE BREATH 2019”, 22/12/2019
Tokyo Art Center White Studio

1. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Kenichiro Arai, Masked Mystery & Shota (c) Vs Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari & Miss Mongol
2. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title – Delayed Young Drama Cup Final: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Kazuki Hirata

Kazuki Hirata isn’t leaving Ganbare☆Wrestling just yet. He has unfinished business with Keisuke Ishii. A decade ago the generation that Hirata and Ishii belong to had their own rookies tournament called the Young Drama Cup. It only lasted two years. Ishii won the first one in 2009 and reached the final of the second one in 2010. Hirata entered the 2010 tournament but finished last with only a single victory. A lot has changed since then but the history of that tournament now surrounds the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’20”, 04/01/2020
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

Famous ring announcer Kero Tanaka makes his annual appearance.

BAKUHA KOSHIEN FEDERATION “ENE ONE PRESENTS BAKUHA KOSHIEN 2019”, 17/11/2019
Kanagawa Tsurumi Fruit & Vegetable Market
359 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Bakuha Koshien Tournament – Round 1: Asuka defeated Yukio Naya with a Casadora (5:18).
2. Bakuha Koshien Tournament – Round 1: FUMA defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Iron Maiden (8:04).
3. Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Guts Ishijima & Shota when Ishii submitted Shota with the Double Arm Neck Lock (7:52).
4. Ayame Sasamura defeated Ami Kanda with a Cradle (7:59).
5. Bakuha Koshien Tournament Final – Current Blast 6-Man Tag Death Match: Atsushi Onita, Kenichiro Arai, Asuka & Yumehito Imanari defeated Sanshiro Takago, Shinya Aoki, FUMA & Yukio Naya when Onita pinned Naya with a Current Blast Bat Swing (10:27).

So much preparation went into today’s show. Sanshiro Takagi wanted four Current Blast baseball bats and Atsushi Onita demanded that the gunpowder within them be tripled so the explosions would be even more powerful than advertised. Asuka and FUMA won the qualifying matches to enter the main event but Onita then demanded that the losers Yukio Naya and Yumehito Imanari also be included in the match. This was the debut Bakuha Koshien show so Onita wanted to give everyone the chance to experience this match.

There was a switch on one of the corner posts that needed to be pressed when a wrestler wanted to use a Current Blast bat. The first explosion came when Takagi swung the bat at Onita in the corner. Imanari jumped in and took the blow, shielding Onita from the blast. Onita put FUMA through a table with a Piledriver but Shinya Aoki cut him off with a Sleeper Hold. Naya held onto Onita for Aoki to hit with a bat for the next explosion. Aoki put Kenichiro Arai in a Jumping Cross Armbreaker before turning his attention back to Onita. Suddenly Onita sprayed Aoki’s face with red Mist! Asuka then held Aoki for Onita to hit with an explosive bat. Onita used the Mist again this time to blind Naya. Asuka Moonsaulted onto Naya then Onita hit him once more with a blast bat, the biggest explosion yet before pinning him to win.

Onita did his usual kind of speech after the match before calling for Naya’s attention. Naya told him this wasn’t the end between them and he wanted to do another Current Blast match. Onita thanked the sponsors and gave his match prize to Naya. He then threw his water at everyone to close the show.

In his qualifying match, Imanari copied Onita’s famous entrance with the chair and cigarette from the 1999 Tokyo Dome match against Masahiro Chono.

Just because Ken Ohka was back in his hometown of Nanto City doesn’t mean his opponents treated him with respect. They did the opposite, scribbling on his face with marker during an out of the ring brawl in the main event. Antonio Honda used Gongitsune to even the odds, getting Super Sasadango Machine to unmask himself so he would be vulnerable to an Eye Poke. Konosuke Takeshita turned Gongitsune on Honda and made Honda pinch himself in the nipple. Sasadango attempted the three Lehmann Shocks but Ohka fought out of the combo and hit a Vertical Drop Brainbuster. From there Ohka pinned Sasadango with the Fire Spear.

Makoto Oishi attacked Toru Owashi at the end of the show in a bid to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Owashi fought him off until Kazuki Hirata pinned him with a School Boy from out of nowhere.

The string of victories continues for Yuki Iino. He wasn’t able to pin HARASHIMA but he still appreciates how important a result like today’s is for his KO-D Openweight Title match on the 24th. Iino used a Reverse Bubba Bomb for the first time in today’s match. He wants to make it more crisp before he considers it ready for the title bout. But when he perfects it he thinks that move along with the Spear can make him the champion. HARASHIMA admits Iino is strong but also sees a lot of holes in his wrestling that he can attack.

Masahiro Takanashi posed with the KO-D Tag Team Title belt belonging to Daisuke Sasaki after the 3 Way Match. He wanted to leave with it but Hisaya Imabayashi took it off him. Takanashi wanted to know why Sasaki did not have Soma Takao in his corner for the match. Sasaki swears that he and Takao reconciled after their problems yesterday.

Ohka’s father was in attendance. In fact he helped organise the show! He joined Ken in doing the show opening speech.
