Natsumi’s Return Match, Ganpro’s Early 2020

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

Two final matches complete the Ittenyon card. Natsumi Maki returns from injury with a high profile match against Sareee. There is a lot of gossip about where Sareee will be wrestling in 2020 so it is nice to see her stop by Tokyo Joshi Pro for a match. As for Maki, win or lose her path will almost certainly lead her back to the International Princess Title. We already heard if Hikari Noa wins the title she wants to defend it against Maki. But Maki Itoh on the other hand is keeping her cards closer to her chest.

The rookie Sena Shiori debuts in the opening match.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “WHITE BREATH 2019” Results

December 22, 2019

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

1. Ganpro Vs Real GUTS Army ~The Fourth Trial Singles Match Of Shuhei Washida~: Guts Ishijima defeated Shuhei Washida with the Ghostbuster (6:10).
2. Ganpro Special Mixed Match ~A Beautiful Man, Beautiful Women And A Pervert~: Hagane Shinno & Moeka Haruhi defeated Shinichiro Tominaga & HARUKAZE when Shinno submitted HARUKAZE with the Ultimate Manjigatame (11:29).
3. The Third Emergency Battle! Show Me What You Mean!: Shuichiro Katsumura & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Shin Suzuki & Shigeyuki Kawahara when Katsumura pinned Suzuki with the Bena-Driller (13:48).
4. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari & Miss Mongol defeated Kenichiro Arai, Masked Mystery & Shota (c) when Imanari pinned Shota with the Koshi Clutch (14:40).
*Hattoshite Good Alps Industry fails in V3. GPW becomes the 22nd GWC 6-Man Tag Team Champions!
5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title – Delayed Young Drama Cup Final: Keisuke Ishii (c) defeated Kazuki Hirata with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (20:28).
*V4 for Keisuke Ishii.

This was not your regular Kazuki Hirata appearance. When he entered for the main event his usual “TOKYO GO!” song switched over to Hirata’s first entry song “Katare! Namida!” by SEX MACHINEGUN. There was no dancing or comedy, Hirata was here to win the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title from Keisuke Ishii! Hirata hit the GO! GO! Splash for a nearfall but couldn’t go through with the Egoist Driver when he needed to. Ishii slipped out of the move and hit a Tiger Suplex to turn the tide against his opponent. The High Angle Double Arm DDT ended up finishing Hirata and giving Ishii another title defence. After the match Ishii said his goal is to defend the title 17 times so he can break the championship record for most defences. This is only his fourth one so he couldn’t lost to Hirata today. Hirata accepted total defeat and encouraged Ishii to reach his goal. The show ended with all of Ganbare☆Wrestling gathering together in the ring. A tearful Ken Ohka spoke about how wonderful the group became this year. But it won’t be enough until Ganpro makes it to Korakuen Hall, Sumo Hall and even the Tokyo Dome! In 2020 Ganpro will become a major pro wrestling company!

Okay so I didn’t know this but the current Real GUTS Army team have actually been called Hattoshite Good Alps Industry because Guts Ishijima was no longer involved. The Hattoshite name is based off of a Toshihiko Tahara song. It probably doesn’t matter anymore because Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari & Miss Mongol beat them to win back the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles. It was the result of a months long plan by Imanari to discover Kenichiro Arai’s weakness. Whenever they locked up, Imanari would make a strange noise that would make Arai run away with fear. He regained some control when Masked Mystery distracted the referee so he could remove a turnbuckle pad. Shota swung the pad but Imanari ducked and Arai took the hit. Ohka & Mongol held the others back while Imanari pinned Shota with his version of the Gedo Clutch, causing the title change. Ohka wants to claim the belts as a Ganpro championship from now on. All they have to do is pretend the “GW” in GWC stands for Ganbare☆Wrestling instead of Guts World. Mongol revealed in a backstage interview that her daughter is currently sick in hospital. When Mongol visits her later in the day she will cheer her up by telling her the good news about her mother winning a championship.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “MERRY CHRISTMAS! 2019” Results

December 22, 2019

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “MERRY CHRISTMAS! 2019”, 22/12/2019
Tokyo Art Center White Studio
325 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Christmas Special 4 Big Singles Match: Miyu Yamashita defeated Suzume with a Right High Kick (6:41).
2. Christmas Special 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Nodoka Tenma and Haruna Neko when Nakajima pinned Neko with the Northern Lights Suplex (5:36).
3. Christmas Special Tag Match: Yuna Manase & Pom Harajuku defeated Sakisama & Mahiro Kiryu when Harajuku pinned Kiryu with a School Boy (7:02).
4. Christmas Special 4 Big Singles Match: Mizuki Vs Hikari Noa ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).
5. Christmas Special 4 Big Singles Match: Maki Itoh defeated Mirai Maiumi with the Flying Big Head (7:21).
6. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Yuki Aino & Raku when Tatsumi submitted Raku with the Dragon Sleeper (9:59).
7. Christmas Special 4 Big Singles Match: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Mina Shirakawa with the Magical Magical Girl Splash (7:18).

The Tokyo Joshi Pro Christmas show had a couple of presents in store for everyone. Four singles matches were determined by a lottery. In the main event Yuka Sakazaki and Mina Shirakawa faced off. Shirakawa had lost the Best Body Japan Women’s Title earlier this week so an opportunity to wrestle the Princess Of Princess Champion would be a great way to bounce back from that. However Sakazaki was able to beat her by countering the Implant DDT into the Merry-Go-Round. The Magical Magical Girl Splash afterwards finished the match. Sakazaki gave Shirakawa credit for getting stronger. She told everyone to go out and enjoy what’s left of this year.

It wasn’t a win but Hikari Noa can keep her head held high for going to a time limit draw with Mizuki. She wasn’t even at much of a risk of losing when the time expired. Mizuki went for the Diving Foot Stomp and Noa rolled out of the way, avoiding the move. So you can’t say she was saved by the bell.

Yuna Manase, Pom Harajuku and Mahiro Kiryu took part in a lottery to determine who would team with Sakisama in Match #3. Kiryu pulled out the piece of paper with the drawing of a rose on it, which meant she got the spot. Unfortunately nobody told Sakisama. She asked why did she have to team with “such a poor smelly child.” She agreed to team with Kiryu and ordered her not to mess up. Whether she did or not, you can be the judge. Sakisama went to do the Big Boot into the corner, Harajuku dodged it, Kiryu took the boot and Harajuku rolled her up for the three count. Sakisama blamed Kiryu for the loss but Kiryu stood up to her! She lost today but she didn’t lose to Sakisama and someday… she will definitely beat her! Surprisingly, Sakisama was somewhat impressed by Kiryu’s attitude. She told Kiryu to get stronger and to be patient for her to return from Paris.

The show featured a few important returns outside of the matches. Hyper Misao reappeared after the 3 Way Match to surprise Shoko Nakajima. Misao returned because she thinks there are not enough heroes in Tokyo Joshi. Her goal for 2020 is to make everyone in TJPW a superhero! She said if she beats Nakajima on 4th January then Nakajima will have to rename herself Hyper Shoko. This idea annoys Nakajima because she likes being a kaiju and she doesn’t want to lose the “Nakajima” part of her name either. Maybe if she beats Misao then Misao will have to be a kaiju and change her name? Nakajima was about to suggest one using Misao’s real name but before she could finish, Misao called for her music to play and left the ring.

Natsumi Maki appeared at the start of the show to announce her return match on 4th January. Maki suffered a knee injury in her first International Princess Title defence against Yuna Manase in September. She successfully got it surgically repaired and had been training for her comeback ever since.

Last but not least, another trainee announced she will debut on the Korakuen Hall show. Shiori was first introduced to the public back in April as part of the same class as Mirai Maiumi and Suzume. She reappeared at a fan club event in August before showing up again here today. She also said from now on her ring name is Sena Shiori.

DDT “TETSUYA ENDO’S LOCAL TRIUMPH! D-OU GRAND PRIX 2020 PURSUIT BATTLE” Results

December 21, 2019

DDT “TETSUYA ENDO’S LOCAL TRIUMPH! D-OU GRAND PRIX 2020 PURSUIT BATTLE”, 21/12/2019
Miyagi White Cube
502 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Yuki Iino defeated Keigo Nakamura with the Haka Elbow (6:48).
2. Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Masahiro Takanashi & Antonio Honda when Hirata pinned Honda with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (11:55).
3. 3 Way Match: Akito defeated Soma Takao and Mizuki Watase when Akito submitted Watase with the Scorpion Deathlock (11:02).
4. Tag Match Of The Tohoku Hero & Gorgeous Matsuno: HARASHIMA & Gorgeous Matsuno defeated Danshoku Dieno & Hiroshi Yamato when Matsuno pinned Dieno with a Danshoku Driver Cutback (12:58).
5. DDT Megatonweight Match: Bull James defeated Yukio Naya with the Doink Drop (8:20).
6. Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura defeated Chris Brookes & Makoto Oishi when Ueno pinned Oishi after the Osaka Trad (15:35).
7. Tetsuya Endo Local Triumph! Shiraishi Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & Jinsei Shinzaki when Endo pinned Katsumata with the Shooting Star Press (17:34).

In the main event the DAMNATION wrestlers all attempted to do Jinsei Shinzaki’s Praying Power Bomb at the same time but they were all blocked with Back Body Drops. They recovered and singled out Shunma Katsumata for the finish, with Tetsuya Endo getting the pin. Afterwards Endo shook Shinzaki’s hand. Endo told the Shiraishi crowd that their city flourishes at midnight when there is only the flashing traffic lights illuminating the area. Shiraishi is where Endo was born and raised which means Shiraishi is also the home of DAMNATION.

The Nautilus team think they have gained some good experience from the D-Ou Grand Prix. They also now have a chance to win the KO-D Tag Team Titles because Naomi Yoshimura defeated Daisuke Sasaki. However that was the only victory Yoshimura claimed in the tournament while Yuki Ueno was able to beat Endo and Keisuke Ishii. They now know they will need each other to become champions.

When Gorgeous Matsuno pinned Danshoku Dieno in their tag match, Dieno warned him that he is part of the new generation coming to knock the O-40 Champion off his perch!

Masahiro Takanashi is really looking forward to his match against Isami Kodaka. With DDT and BASARA splitting up, he does not think there will be another opportunity for this match to happen again.

Well look at this, Gran MilliMeters are reunited! If things work out maybe Nobuhiro Shimatani will hang around BASARA a bit more in 2020.

The new rookie Tetsuo Usui is a 23 year old from Utsunomiya, Tochigi. He began training in April and is debuting after 8 months. His opponent Ryota Nakatsu will be wrestling twice on the show.

He claims to be at 100% health and wants to wrestle as violently as he was before. He is also interested in teaming with Yukio Sakaguchi on a more regular basis because he admires Sakaguchi’s way of fighting.

DDT “NEW YEAR SPECIAL GIFT! ALL SEATS 2,000 YEN BOX OFFICE!! 2020”, 03/01/2020
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. New Year! Special 3 Way Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Super Sasadango Machine
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao (c) Vs Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura

2020 kicks off with two KO-D Tag Team Title defences in the space of three days. Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao have promised to reach a new level as the champions if they reach a 10th successful defence. That will be achieved if they beat Nautilus. Easier said than done though. Naomi Yoshimura has unfinished business with Takao after the D-Ou Grand Prix. His win over Sasaki at least made sure he finished the tournament with a win. Yuki Ueno comes out of it looking pretty good too thanks to some big wins over the likes of Tetsuya Endo and Keisuke Ishii.
