1. International Princess Title Tournament – Round 1: X Vs X
2. International Princess Title Tournament – Round 1: X Vs X

Today Thunder Rosa relinquished the International Princess Title on a video sent to Tokyo Joshi Pro. Due to the Coronavirus making overseas travel very difficult, Rosa’s scheduled title defences in March and April were both cancelled. With no opportunity to defend the title, Rosa and agreed with management to send the belt back to Japan. Rosa promised she will return to TJPW when it is safe to do so with the intention of winning back the championship. TJPW confirmed that Rosa getting a title match upon her return is of the highest priority. Until then, a new champion will be crowned in an 8-Woman tournament that will end at “WRESTLE PRINCESS” this November.

In order to crown a new champion, TJPW has to renege on the original concept for the title. The title was supposed to draw in challengers from around the world while also revitalizing Tokyo Joshi’s singles division in Japan (Princess Of Princess Title matches are few and far between so it offers something else for the roster to fight over). But since it is very difficult to bring in foreign wrestlers right now, only Japanese wrestlers are able to compete in the tournament. Entrants will be announced as soon as they are picked, taking into consideration the potential card for “WRESTLE PRINCESS”. If somebody on the roster already has a match at the Tokyo Dome City Hall then they won’t be in the tournament.

DDT “ROAD TO ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”, 25/10/2020
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Under Match: Hiroshi Yamato Vs Hideki Okatani
1. Chris Brookes, Shunma Katsumata & Antonio Honda Vs HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Yukio Naya
2. Shinya Aoki Vs Mad Paulie
3. Playfulness Series Act 2: Danshoku Dieno Vs Keigo Nakamura
4. Junretsu Vs ALL OUT!: Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi Vs Konosuke Takeshita & Akito
5. Road To Ultimate Party 2020! Special Single Match: CIMA Vs Soma Takao
6 or 7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi
6 or 7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai (c) Vs Yuki Ueno, Naomi Yoshimura & Kazuki Hirata

Last week CIMA got injured in a bicycle accident, leaving him with injuries to his head, neck and hands. However I guess CIMA will recover in time for his match at the end of the month because DDT hasn’t cancelled it yet. Soma Takao looks up to CIMA anyway. He probably won’t take advantage of this in a heinous way. Backstabbing Daisuke Sasaki, sure but not CIMA.

The Junretsu Vs ALL OUT tag is getting a runback. Konosuke Takeshita & Akito are both looking for ways to beat Jun Akiyama. You can’t leave Makoto Oishi out in the cold for this either.

GANBARE☆PRO “MAGICIANS RED 2020”, 23/11/2020
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. The Young General Will Avenge The General’s Death! Special Single Match: Kouki Iwasaki Vs Ikuto Hidaka
2. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Asuka (c) Vs Moeka Haruhi

Yesterday, Moeka Haruhi won a trios match against a team of wrestlers connected to each other by the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title. This victory inspired Haruhi to challenge Asuka for the title itself.

Ikuto Hidaka was impressed enough with his visit to Ganbare☆Pro yesterday that he wants to continue wrestling here. That’s good because Kouki Iwasaki told everyone he wants to beat him up. The match name makes it sound like Iwasaki is doing this to avenge Ken Ohka’s defeat to Hidaka but I’m not sure if Iwasaki cares enough about that to make it his main motivation.

“NEW YEAR’S EVE WRESTLING 2019 ~TOSHIWASHURE! SHUFFLE TAG TOURNAMENT”, 31/12/2020

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

The annual New Year’s Year tag team tournament held by Big Japan and DDT will go ahead this year but on a smaller scale. In order to prevent exposing fans to the Coronavirus, the event will start earlier in the evening and will only last for around 2 and a half hours. The tournament will be shortened down to 8 teams instead of the usual 16. Sadly that means there won’t be any wrestling going on inside Korakuen Hall when the clock strikes midnight to bring in 2021.


GANBARE☆PRO “BAD COMMUNICATION 2020” Results

GANBARE☆PRO “BAD COMMUNICATION 2020”, 06/10/2020
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
??? Fans – Withheld

4. THE HALFEE Vs A Beautiful Woman, A Beautiful Man & A Pervert – GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Katsuzaki Shunosuke, Moehiko Harumisawa & Washi Sakurai (c) defeated Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga when Harumisawa pinned Tominaga with the Chaka Chaka (10:49).
*V1 for THE HALFEE.
5. Engraved In The Man You Admire, The Fight Of Ganpro! Special Single Match: Ikuto Hidaka defeated Ken Ohka with the Stray Dog High Kick (13:14).
6. A Burning Bond Or A Bond Thicker Than Blood!: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Shinjiro Otani & Yumehito Imanari when Ishii pinned Imanari with the Kneel Kick (27:31).

At the beginning of the show, Ken Ohka told the audience that when he was growing up in the countryside, he could only go see live pro wrestling once a year. He couldn’t wait for pro wrestling to come to his town because of this. For Ganbare☆Pro the promotion had to wait TWO years before they ran Korakuen Hall again. Today’s big show in the venue is not the destination for Ganpro, it is only the beginning. The aftermath will create momentum needed for Ganpro to run Korakuen again next year and the year after that.

In the main event Yumehito Imanari teamed with Shinjiro Otani. This was a partnership born from Imanari wrestling in ZERO1 over the last few months. This bond was on show when Otani and Imanari entered together with Imanari wearing a jacket Otani had made for him. Otani had faith in Imanari’s efforts against Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie, going so far that he wouldn’t tag in when he felt Imanari could still fight. When Otani did get involved, he was prepared for Irie in particular. Both agreed it’s been a long time since they last fought and then they went straight into Elbow Smashing each other. When Otani did his trademark Facewash on Ishii, Imanari grabbed Irie on the floor and held him in place for Otani to boot instead of Ishii. Imanari used the Death Valley Bomb and the Chubby Knee Kick on Ishii but only got a two count. His momentum was cut off with the Beast Bomber from Irie. Ishii got a nearfall with a Tiger Suplex and was almost pinned himself when Imanari countered a second Tiger Suplex into a Samson Clutch. But the end came when Ishii hit the Kneel Kick and Imanari was pinned. Both team received a year’s supply of Coroblock from the show sponsor.

Irie and Otani faced off after the match. Imanari tried to step in but Irie knocked him down and left the ring with Ishii. Otani gave encouragement to Imanari. No matter how much he struggled today he never gave up and the fans appreciate that. Those in the audience who saw Imanari get back up again and again will be inspired to do their best tomorrow. That is what pro wrestlers are capable of, to send their energy to the fans. Otani is proud of Imanari today and he will learn that the one who keeps losing will eventually win in the end. Imanari thanked Otani for the speech and thanked the fans for coming to see the show while the Coronavirus is around. He will treat wrestling like a marathon and run towards his goal.

Ohka’s attempt to surpass Ikuto Hidaka ended in defeat. It was the High Kicks that brought down Ohka and he fell to one too many. Hidaka asked the fans if the Ohka they saw today is the one they want to see? They all applauded positively. Ohka is 43 and Hidaka is 48 but age is just a number. Ohka said he will never quit even if he is 60 or 70 years old. He won’t leave the ring until he defeats Hidaka! When Ohka left, Hidaka admitted he liked what he heard so he will continue to fight in Ganpro! Next time he promises to get Ohka in the Shawn Capture.

THE HALFEE achieved their goal of defending the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles in Korakuen Hall. It was a close call and they got over it thanks to a missed Moonsault from Shinichiro Tominaga. While he scrambled to recover, Katsuzaki Shunosuke hit him with a Jumping High Kick and Moehiko Harumisawa rolled him over with the Chaka Chaka (Bridging Backslide Pin) to get the three count. Harumisawa was so pleased to win against a team of wrestlers associated with the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title that she now wants to challenge for that championship. She asked Asuka for a title shot at the next Ganpro show. Asuka said Tominaga lost today’s match, not her. However she accepts the challenge from Moeka Haruhi for 23rd Nevember.

It took the Running Three from Takumi Iroha to put Yuna Manase away. There was a show of respect afterwards when Iroha formed the letter S with her hands and Manase did the same in response. Backstage Iroha told Manase to carry Ganpro on her back like she does with Marvelous. That way they can carry each other and improve together.

The team of Chris Brookes & Yuna Mizumori came here today representing ChocoPro and even carried that promotion’s entrance curtain to the ring with them. They went on to beat Shota & HARUKAZE. Brookes set the finish up with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster and Mizumori finished the job with the Mushakaeshi.

Kota Umeda returned and it’s good to see he still has a chip on his shoulder. He slapped away Kouki Iwasaki’s handshake offer after their match. As for Iwasaki, he said his next target is Ikuto Hidaka!

October 4, 2020

DDT “SHINSHU CHASHU MINANOSHU 2020”, 04/10/2020
Nagano Arcs Hall
??? Fans – Withheld

1. 3 Way Match: Chris Brookes defeated Akito and Mad Paulie when Brookes submitted Paulie with the Octopus Stretch (8:05).
2. Kazusada Higuchi & Saki Akai defeated Yuki Ueno & Hideki Okatani when Higuchi pinned Okatani with an Oklahoma Stampede (11:21).
3. HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Yukio Naya when Yoshimura pinned Naya with a Lariat (10:20).
4. DDT Nagano Sales Manager Toru Owashi (Free) Local Triumph! 20th Anniversary Of Debut “Owashi And His Delightful Friends Part 7” Special 6-Man Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno, Makoto Oishi & Antonio Honda defeated Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Keigo Nakamura when Oishi pinned Nakamura with a School Boy (0:08).
4a. Rematch: Danshoku Dieno, Makoto Oishi & Antonio Honda defeated Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Keigo Nakamura when Oishi pinned Nakamura with the Jikiden Tornado Clutch (11:34).
5. Tetsuya Endo & Soma Takao defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Hiroshi Yamato when Endo submitted Yamato with the Yurikamome (16:58).
6. Junretsu Vs ALL OUT!: Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata defeated Jun Akiyama & Mizuki Watase when Takeshita submitted Watase with the Cabello 2020 (19:45).

Konosuke Takeshita congratulated Toru Owashi on reaching his 20th anniversary as a pro wrestler. He pointed out the actual anniversary date was on 20th September but DDT waited until they returned to Nagano to celebrate it. It was also Mizuki Watase’s homecoming but Takeshita spoiled it by making him submit in the main event. Watase promised to eat more and get stronger so he can beat Takeshita some day.

The second Handicap Match of the weekend was turned into a tag match because Hiroshi Yamato came to Daisuke Sasaki’s rescue yesterday. DAMNATION was still able to beat them because of cheating but Sasaki got the last laugh by giving Soma Takao a Low Blow and hitting Tetsuya Endo with a chair after the match. Sasaki posed with the KO-D Openweight Title after Endo fled the ring.

Owashi’s anniversary match looked to be ruined when it only lasted 8 seconds. Hisaya Imabayashi called for a restart because they sold 70% ticket allocation for this match and the bouquets weren’t even handed out yet.

Yukio Sakaguchi was left in a stunned state when Naomi Yoshimura caught the God’s Right Knee and Power Bombed him into the turnbuckles. Backstage Saki Akai warned the rest of Eruption that Yuki Ueno was also looking more serious in their match. Yoshimura got an extra dig in by saying he is looking forward to Sakaguchi’s post-match comments on Twitter.


DDT “THIS WILL BE OUR THIRD NARIMASU EVENT! 2020” Results

October 3, 2020

DDT “THIS WILL BE OUR THIRD NARIMASU EVENT! 2020”, 03/10/2020
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Danshoku Dieno, Toru Owashi & Makoto Oishi defeated Kazuki Hirata, Mizuki Watase & Hideki Okatani when Dieno pinned Okatani with a Kido Clutch (8:17).
2. 3 Way Match: Mad Paulie defeated Shunma Katsumata and Yukio Naya when Paulie pinned Naya with the Reverse Splash (7:20).
3. HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda defeated Soma Takao & Nobuhiro Shimatani when HARASHIMA pinned Shimatani with the Somato (10:28).
4. Jun Akiyama & Chris Brookes defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Akito when Akiyama pinned Akito with the Exploder Suplex (12:27).
5. Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai defeated Yuki Ueno, Naomi Yoshimura & Keigo Nakamura when Akai pinned Nakamura with the Quetzalcoatl (15:28).
6. It Will Be A Narimasu Special Handicap Match!: Daisuke Sasaki defeated Tetsuya Endo & T-Hawk by Disqualification when DAMNATION interfered (7:58).
6a. Emergency Match: Tetsuya Endo & T-Hawk defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Hiroshi Yamato when Hawk pinned Yamato with the Night Ride (6:18).

Daisuke Sasaki went into Narimasu Act Hall looking for revenge against DAMNATION. He brought a chair into the ring during his entrance but got ambushed by his opponents while Yukinori Matsui stopped him from using it. The Handicap Match was one sided until Sasaki caught Tetsuya Endo in the Cross Facelock. Nobuhiro Shimatani ran in to hit Sasaki with his signboard and the rest of DAMNATION joined in the attack, bringing the match to a halt.

Help came for Sasaki unexpectedly when Hiroshi Yamato ran down to the ring with a chair! He hit Shimatani with a chair and told Sasaki he came to help him. The match restarted and was now a tag team match with Sasaki & Yamato facing Endo & T-Hawk. Unfortunately, Yamato received a Low Blow from T-Hawk and was pinned with the Night Ride. DAMNATION continued to beat up Sasaki and Yamato until they were both knocked out. Endo got on the microphone and said DAMNATION’s goal to never conform, never kiss ass and never get married is full of shit! Endo instead wants DAMNATION to conform, kiss ass and get married! Backstage Yamato told Sasaki he will team with him to fight DAMNATION again tomorrow.

Yukio Sakaguchi taunted Nautilus by asking how was it to fight against Eruption today? Yuki Ueno just said it felt normal and he left with Naomi Yoshimura. Sakaguchi called them boring and said the next time they fight he will take their KO-D Tag Team Titles as Eruption’s prize.

In the post-match interview for Match #4, Chris Brookes gave his opinion that Konosuke Takeshita is looking a little less confident. He thinks Takeshita has always been the best in DDT but today he was different. Jun Akiyama isn’t counting him out though. The tension when they’re in the ring together hasn’t dropped. But that’s only because Akiyama hasn’t raised his own effort yet. He’ll bring his best to Takeshita at Ota Ward Gymnasium next month. Over at the other team, Akito wants to avenge his recent losses against Akiyama while Takeshita wants to do this tag match all around the country. He already came up with a new strategy to beat Akiyama from what he learned today.

HARASHIMA got to unwind by teaming with Antonio Honda. His match was still a preview of what he and Soma Takao can do at Ota Ward but HARASHIMA could afford to take it lightly today. He joined in with Honda’s swiveling of the hips to set up the Bionic Elbow. It left him wondering if he can move his hips more smoothly.

Shunma Katsumata did all the work wearing down Yukio Naya only for Mad Paulie to steal the win. Katsumata hit the Stuka Splash on Naya and Paulie got rid of him afterwards. Naya wasn’t fully beaten until Paulie used the Reverse Splash on him.

Makoto Oishi and Kazuki Hirata swapped teams before the opening match to make it generation versus generation. This happened when Hirata asked Mizuki Watase & Hideki Okatani what they were doing to revolutionize DDT? When the veteran team won, Oishi took the credit and said he is better than everyone else in Junretsu. All the wrestlers looked over to the end of the room and pointed to Akiyama who was looking at them. Oishi quickly took back what he said, gathered the other Junretsu members together and declared Akiyama will lead them to the top of the wrestling world!


DDT “TIF ONLINE X DDT ROJO PRO WRESTLING” Results

October 3, 2020

DDT “TIF ONLINE X DDT ROJO PRO WRESTLING”, 03/10/2020
“TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL Online 2020” Smile Garden
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Falls Count Anywhere 3 Way Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Yukio Naya (w/ Manami Arai & Konatsu Furukawa) defeated Danshoku Dieno & Keigo Nakamura (w/ Midori Nagatsuki & Momona Matsumoto) and Makoto Oishi & Hideki Okatani (/w Sakura Takamiya & Kaori Naruse) when Naya pinned Nakamura with a Power Bomb through a Table (8:52).

Even without an audience the stage was set for DDT’s third annual Tokyo Idol Festival match. The three teams were given idols to cheer them on. Sanshiro Takagi & Yukio Naya were accompanied by Manami Arai & Konatsu Furukawa from The Up Up Girls armed with chairs. Danshoku Dieno & Keigo Nakamura were with Midori Nagatsuki & Momona Matsumoto from Last Idol armed with picopico hammers. Last but not least, Makoto Oishi & Hideki Okatani had the assists of Sakura Takamiya & Kaori Naruse from //Necopla// carrying baseball bats. Dieno heard that a lot of men attend the Tokyo Idol Festival and wanted to know where they were. Takagi explained to him this was an online festival. Dieno told the idols to keep their distance from him.

The match began in front of the stage. Dieno used his Danshoku moveset on his opponents in front of the idols. Takagi hit Oishi with a chair and Naya put him in a Cobra Twist. Oishi wanted to give up but asked to hear //Necopla// sing first. He was motivated by their performance but Naya threw him away when he fought out of the hold.

Extra damage was dealt when Takagi encouraged Arai to hit Oishi with a chair. She broke it over Oishi’s head. Takagi went for the pin but Dieno broke it up. Nakamura then held Takagi in place for Last Idol to hit him with the picopico hammers until his face guard fell off.

Dieno said he was left with no choice but to do his worst attack. He climbed up a ladder and pulled down his tights to unveil the Hell Gate. Oishi, Takagi, Okatani and Naya were all thrown face first into Dieno’s backside one after the other.

With nobody left to stop him, Dieno declared he was going to crush the Tokyo Idol Festival! He approached the idols but stopped when Nagatsuki stepped forth to protect the others. Dieno then came up with the idea to use a fire extinguisher on the idols.

Takagi became worried that Dieno’s behavior would cancel DDT from future TIF events. He jumped in for the rescue then used the extinguisher to freeze both Dieno and Nakamura. Naya put Nakamura through a table with the Power Bomb to win the match for his team.

The show ended with Takagi asking the two Up Up Girls if they wanted to try out pro wrestling. They said they would consider it.

6. Princess Tag Team Titles Next Challenger Decision Battle: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Tenma pinned Kiryu with the Killswitch (14:42).

The Bakuretsu Sisters said they fought like they were in a title match and that was what led them to victory today. They also praised Pom Harajuku for stepping in to be Mahiro Kiryu’s partner on short notice. Daydream accepted their next challengers and confirmed the Princess Tag Team Titles match will happen at “WRESTLE PRINCESS” on 7th November. Yuki Aino said they failed to win the titles back in January but they tried hard enough to get another chance. She’s been wrestling alone a lot lately so she is happy to team with her sister Nodoka Tenma again.

Marika Kobashi has a new look for her first match back in 1 year and 5 months. She is now a “Gal Wrestler” wearing black and orange leopard print gear. She has a definite goal in mind for the future but she didn’t want to say anything clear about it today.

Scull Kick is the deliberate spelling of Miyu Yamashita’s move.
