DDT “DRAMATIC LOVE FOR FUJI! 2020” Results

November 15, 2020

DDT “DRAMATIC LOVE FOR FUJI! 2020”, 15/11/2020
Shizuoka Fuji-san Messe
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Akito defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with a Figure 4 Leg Lock (9:23).
2. Antonio Honda defeated Keigo Nakamura with the Diving Fist Drop (10:42).
3. Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai defeated Danshoku Dieno & Hideki Okatani when Sakaguchi pinned Okatani with a Gaydo Clutch (9:06).
4. DDT Megatonweight Single Match: Kazusada Higuchi defeated Mad Paulie with a Diving Body Press (11:08).
5. DAMNATION Vs DDT Sauna Club!: Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Yuki Ueno defeated Tetsuya Endo, Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Nobuhiro Shimatani when MAO pinned Shimatani with the Michinoku Driver I (15:57).
6. Makoto Oishi 42 Year Old Local Triumph! Fuji Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Mizuki Watase defeated HARASHIMA, Chris Brookes & Kazuki Hirata when Oishi submitted Hirata with the Fujiyama Knee Lock (17:18).

The show was all about Makoto Oishi wrestling in front of his hometown crowd. Kazuki Hirata stole some of the spotlight by dancing in front of Jun Akiyama for his entrance. The final moments of the match saw Oishi and Hirata scramble for the win. Oishi ended up catching his opponent in the Fujiyama Knee Lock for the submission victory. After the match Oishi said he wanted to show off Mt. Fuji to everyone who travelled from Tokyo but it was too cloudy to see the view. Instead they got to see the Fujiyama Knee Lock which is the next best thing. He was also happy to wrestle in front of his daughter Akari for the first time but she slept through his entrance (and possibly the entire match) in Misaki Ohata’s arms. Akiyama said she will grow up to be a big deal someday. He also won’t forgive Hirata for his dancing.

The DDT Sauna Club continues to boost through the rest of the roster, this time beating DAMNATION. The well oiled team lifted up Nobuhiro Shimatani for Shunma Katsumata to do a Diving X Factor on. DAMNATION were there to break the count but couldn’t stop MAO from finishing him off. Katsumata told the fans he wants the Sauna Club to challenge for either the KO-D Tag Team Titles or the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. Backstage Yuki Ueno kept telling him a team of four can’t challenge for a trios championship. Katsumata waved him off and kept telling him over and over the club’s bond has deepened.

Kazusada Higuchi said he will not let Akiyama win their block in the D-Ou Grand Prix. He seems to be a little annoyed that all the wrestling press is putting Akiyama as the favorite.

Danshoku Dieno gave Hideki Okatani advice before their tag match. He said if Okatani wants to win a championship in the soonest time possible, he should wrestle with his tights pulled down just like Dieno tends to do. Dieno kept telling him that wrestling wit his backside exposed will definitely make him stronger. Okatani eventually gave in but Yukio Sakaguchi did the same and pinned him with the Gaydo Clutch while both their shorts were pulled down.

The second match was briefly paused so Antonio Honda and Keigo Nakamura could both get their skin checked by the beauty product sponsor C’bon Corporation. Honda was judged to have cleaner skin and that caused great damage to Nakamura. Honda ended up winning with a skin smooth Diving Fist Drop.

November 15, 2020

BASARA “BASARA 140 ~THE 7TH FOX PRINCE~”, 14/11/2020
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Yusuke Kubo defeated Masato Kamino with a Modified Gedo Clutch (11:06).
2. Asian Kung-Fu Generation Presents A Tragedy Of 4,000 Years In China! Phantom Curse Township 4 Way Match: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated FUMA, Daiki Shimomura and Takato Nakano when Hiroshi pinned Shimomura with a School Boy (10:10).
3. Isami Kodaka defeated Daichi Kazato wirh a Tombstone Piledriver (10:38).
4. IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT – Round 1: Ryuichi Sekine & Minoru Fujita defeated Fuminori Abe & Tetsuo Usui when Sekine submitted Usui with the Let’s Combine (16:16).
5. IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT – Round 1: Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano when SAGAT pinned Urano with the Goregrind (17:25).

The second IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT semi-final will be Ryuichi Sekine & Minoru Fujita Vs Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT. After the main event, Nakatsu called it the de facto final because Sparky beat the new Union MAX Champion in Takumi Tsukamoto and a respected veteran in Yasu Urano.

The rules for the 4 Way Match were created by Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi. He was inspired by the Jusenkyo springs from Ranma 1/2 where stepping into the water will transform people into something else, like a cat for example. Sprinkling water onto them would turn them back to normal. So in this match wrestlers began acting like cats whenever they were thrown out of the ring.

DDT “DDT TV SHOW! #12”, 14/11/2020

0 Fans

1. Makoto Oishi defeated Hideki Okatani with the Fujiyama Knee Lock (5:20).
2. Playfulness Series Act 2: Danshoku Dieno defeated Gorgeous Matsuno with a Crucifix Pin (6:49).
3. Tetsuya Endo & Daisuke Sasaki defeated Antonio Honda & Keigo Nakamura when Sasaki pinned Nakamura with a School Boy (10:34).
4. DDT Sauna Club Stepping Together!: Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Yuki Ueno defeated HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi, Chris Brookes & Yukio Naya when Ueno pinned Naya with the BME (14:07).
5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Akito, Kazuki Hirata & Shota defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai (c) when Shota pinned Akai with the Gannosuke Clutch (14:36).
*Eruption fails in V4. Young Communication Generation becomes the 42nd KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!

What a shocker, Eruption loses the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles to Young Communication Generation! The collective of Akito, Kazuki Hirata & Shota pulled off a gigantic upset in the main event. But it wasn’t from Hirata sneaking the pin on Yukio Sakaguchi like before. Instead Eruption looked like they had the match in the bag. Kazusada Higuchi was handling things until Akito pulled him out of the ring. Shota lured Saki Akai into throwing a strike then caught her hand and used the Gannosuke Clutch for the title change! Shota told the others he is glad he stepped into the ring at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020” to make the challenge. Akito congratulated Shota for finally winning a DDT championship bringing up a talk they had after a match together years ago. Back then Shota told Akito he wanted to win all the prizes in DDT. He was surprised Akito remembered that. Hirata was still scared of how Sakaguchi would react to the result but still spoke on the microphone. His failed title shot at Korakuen Hall wasn’t the happy ending he wanted. But today the sequel gave him that happy ending! Even though the three of them are all in their thirties now, they want to reestablish the Young Communication brand of shows! Only 30 people attended their original shows but they think they can do 10 times that now.

The entire DDT Sauna Club got what they wanted, an 8-Man Tag for all of them to team together. They isolated Yukio Naya when Yuki Ueno caught him with a Dropkick. Konosuke Takeshita & MAO gave him a Double Brainbuster, Shunma Katsumata followed with the Stuka Splash and Yuki Ueno finished him with the BME. All of them interviewed each other to celebrate and credited the use of saunas for being at their highest level today. Backstage Takeshita, MAO & Ueno took a commemorative photo together. They then left when Katsumata joined in the pose.

Daisuke Sasaki had Keigo Nakamura beaten with the Cross Facelock when Antonio Honda entered the ring. He was meant to break the hold but he tripped on the ropes and hurt his knee. Still, Honda wanted to tell his Gongitsune story afterward and that made Sasaki drop his guard. Nakamura of all people got angry at Honda for interrupting his serious fight with Sasaki. He then asked to join DAMNATION so they could all gang up on Honda! There was a 3 on 1 beatdown until Honda hit them all with Gongitsune Eye Pokes. When Nakamura saw that Tetsuya Endo was weakened, he ended his alliance with DAMNATION and joined Honda again. They both went for Gongitsune Nipple Grabs but Sasaki ducked and they grabbed each other by mistake. Endo used a Swan Dive move on both of them to hurt their nipples even more and Sasaki pinned Nakamura with a School Boy.

It took Gorgeous Matsuno four tries at doing the Gorgeous Superstar Elbow. When he finally did the move correctly, Danshoku Dieno easily rolled him into a Crucifix Pin for the three count. After the match Matsuno said it doesn’t matter if he breaks his arms or legs, he has a reason to want the O-40 Title back. He then announced he will have a show in Fukushima celebrating his 60th birtday on 18th April. He needs to be the O-40 Champion again to make that show a success!

In the meeting between two Junretsu members, Makoto Oishi defeated Hideki Okatani. They praised each other for a good match afterward.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’20 ~WOMM (WRESTLING OF MY MIND)~” Results

November 14, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’20 ~WOMM (WRESTLING OF MY MIND)~”, 14/11/2020
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Nao Kakuta & Pom Harajuku defeated Shoko Nakajima & Suzume when Kakuta pinned Suzume with the Hawaiian Smasher (10:09).
2. Hyper Misao defeated Moka Miyamoto with a Camel Clutch Chickenwing Facelock (8:21).
3. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Maki Itoh and Mahiro Kiryu when Tatsumi pinned Kiryu with the Twist Of Fate (9:22).
4. Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Mirai Maiumi defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Marika Kobashi & Hikari Noa when Tenma pinned Kobashi with the Killswitch (12:47).
5. Sakisama defeated Sena Shiori with a Triangle Choke (7:37).
6. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Raku defeated Miyu Yamashita, Miu Watanabe & Haruna Neko when Sakazaki pinned Neko with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (13:41).

The show began with an important announcement from Mizuki. She has now officially joined Tokyo Joshi Pro! She’s been wrestling almost exclusively for TJPW since 2017 but she was doing that as a freelancer all that time. Ever since the Tokyo Princess Cup she thought about this decision because she wants to be part of the company. Her goal is to win championships and surpass Yuka Sakazaki. She promised to do her best to spread the name of TJPW. Rika Tatsumi was the first person to congratulate her by giving her a big hug.

Mizuki, Sakazaki & Raku called their trio the Magirabi Express.

Sakisama returned to TJPW because she thinks the fans are missing the excitement that only she can provide. She heard Sena Shiori is nicknamed the Space Ranger. She’d be happy to take in Shiori to her own rocket ship but not yet. Shiori is not mature enough yet to join Sakisama’s side. Instead, Sakisama will be bringing in her own tag partner for a tag match on 20th November. She almost said her partner’s name but stopped herself to keep it a mystery.

Hyper Misao found out that Moka Miyamoto is an active college student. She wanted their match to count as course credit while also teaching a lesson that pro wrestling is not as sweet as university.

The newest addition to the roster Nao Kakuta wrestled in new gear for the occasion. She wanted to leave a strong presence in her first match and did so by picking up the win. She learned a lot about Suzume in the ring and can tell she is taking wrestling seriously. She got a strange feeling of exhilaration from wrestling against Shoko Nakajima. Finally she wants to team with Pom Harajuku again. They don’t have any double team moves or any other kind of cooperation so she wants to know her better.

Kendo Kashin In TJPW? IRON FIST TAG Continues, D-Ou Comments

November 13, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’20 ~WOMM (WRESTLING OF MY MIND)~”, 14/11/2020
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Shoko Nakajima & Suzume Vs Nao Kakuta & Pom Harajuku
2. Hyper Misao Vs Moka Miyamoto
3. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi Vs Maki Itoh Vs Mahiro Kiryu
4. Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Mirai Maiumi Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Marika Kobashi & Hikari Noa
5. Sakisama Vs Sena Shiori
6. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Raku Vs Miyu Yamashita, Miu Watanabe & Haruna Neko

It’s a fresh new chapter for Tokyo Joshi Pro. We have newcomers joining Yuka Sakazaki in the champion club with no immediate challengers for any of the titles on the horizon. Sakisama is returning which is usually a sign that NEO Biishiki-gun is looking for new members. Nao Kakuta makes her Tokyo Joshi debut.

We now know why Kendo Kashin showed up to “WRESTLE PRINCESS”. He approached Tetsuya Koda declaring himself the new part-time coach for TJPW! He spoke to Koda in a “Western” accent, explaining he can use his world class coaching skills to make Tokyo Joshi world class. That will result in Tokyo Joshi becoming World Joshi, or WJ for short. Koda said he was grateful for the offer but turned Kashin down. A world class coach means he would have to be paid a world class salary and Koda just can’t do that right now. Kashin insists he can do a great job because the “WJ” roster is full of gold eggs. With his teaching they can wrestle anywhere from the Budokan and the Tokyo Dome to the Capital Wrestling Center and the ThunderDome!

BASARA “BASARA 140 ~THE 7TH FOX PRINCE~”, 14/11/2020
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Yusuke Kubo Vs Masato Kamino
2. 4 Way Match: FUMA Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Daiki Shimomura Vs Takato Nakano
3. Isami Kodaka Vs Daichi Kazato
4. IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT – Round 1: Fuminori Abe & Tetsuo Usui Vs Ryuichi Sekine & Minoru Fujita
5. IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT – Round 1: Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano Vs Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT

One side of the semi-final bracket is filled. This show determines the other half. Takumi Tsukamoto has all the momentum behind him as the new Union MAX Champion. The previous champ Fuminori Abe has to move on and not let that loss get to him.

DDT “DRAMATIC LOVE FOR FUJI! 2020”, 15/11/2020
Shizuoka Fuji-san Messe

1. Akito Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga
2. Antonio Honda Vs Keigo Nakamura
3. Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai Vs Danshoku Dieno & Hideki Okatani
4. DDT Megatonweight Single Match: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Mad Paulie
5. DAMNATION Vs DDT Sauna Club!: Tetsuya Endo, Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Yuki Ueno
6. Makoto Oishi 42 Year Old Local Triumph! Fuji Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Mizuki Watase Vs HARASHIMA, Chris Brookes & Kazuki Hirata

This is the confirmed match order. They weren’t going to do Makoto Oishi dirty in his hometown.

DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2021 IN KORAKUEN HALL!”, 22/11/2020
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Under Match: Mizuki Watase & Hideki Okatani Vs Yukio Naya & Keigo Nakamura
1. 4 Way Tag Match: Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai Vs Soma Takao & Mad Paulie Vs Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda
2. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 – A Block: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Daisuke Sasaki
3. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 – A Block: HARASHIMA Vs Chris Brookes
4. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 – A Block: Akito Vs MAO
5. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 – B Block: Tetsuya Endo Vs Jun Akiyama
6. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 – B Block: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Yuki Ueno
7. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 – B Block: Makoto Oishi Vs Shunma Katsumata

I was invited to record a preview podcast of the D-Ou Grand Prix for subscribers to the Wrestling Omakase patreon. Had plenty to talk about with each of the participants and what matches we think you should look forward to. They will also be covering the tournament with podcast coverage after every show on the patreon.

The majority of the wrestlers made public comments about the tournament today. In the B Block, Jun Akiyama is being targeted by everyone. Tetsuya Endo is certain their opening match will determine who makes the final. Endo says if beats Akiyama he will abstain from all remaining block matches. But if he loses to Akiyama then he will forfeit his remaining block matches. I can’t tell if we’re supposed to take this seriously based on DAMNATION’s recent broken stipulations.

Soma Takao’s motivation is down. Nothing can match the high he got from wrestling CIMA then teaming with him to beat HARASHIMA & Naomichi Marufuji. No prize money for winning the Grand Prix isn’t helping either. Yuki Ueno has become more conscious of wins and losses since becoming the new DDT UNIVERSAL Champion. He believes Endo thinks the same. Shunma Katsumata’s confidence has grown ever since he got compliments from Akiyama. He hopes he will get Akiyama to join the DDT Sauna Club.

Kazusada Higuchi said he will beat Akiyama because he will not give up the top spot to somebody who is on the verge of finishing his wrestling career in Japan. Oishi revealed he volunteered to enter the Grand Prix. He has never done a round robin tournament before so he wants to show everyone what he’s got. Akiyama wants to win every match, reach the final and win the whole thing. If he can’t beat Endo then he won’t be able to win the tournament.

Over in the A Block, Konosuke Takeshita has been questioning himself ever since his loss at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”. Is his chosen path the wrong one? He cannot take a new step until he goes back to Akiyama. Daisuke Sasaki said he has a secret weapon to win. It’s roll ups. HARASHIMA has had a tough go throughout 2020. He lost the KO-D Openweight Title in January and couldn’t wrestle as much as he wanted because of the epidemic. He is also coming off a loss at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020” so he is motivated to win the Grand Prix.

Chris Brookes admitted he does not want to wrestle Akiyama in the final. He’s sure Akiyama will beat him up. He does want to face Ueno again so he’d love to see him win the other block. MAO thinks he was entered into last year’s tournament on a fluke. This year he thinks he is worthy to be a part of it. He is looking forward to his first singles match against Brookes. Akito was to make an ordinary tournament look extraordinary. Yukio Sakaguchi sent a message that just said “Kill everyone!”

DDT “DAMNATION ILLEGAL ASSEMBLY RETURNS VOL. 2 ~DAISUKE SASAKI 15TH ANNIVERSARY SP~” Results

November 12, 2020

DDT “DAMNATION ILLEGAL ASSEMBLY RETURNS VOL. 2 ~DAISUKE SASAKI 15TH ANNIVERSARY SP~”, 12/11/2020
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Chikara & Nobuhiro Shimatani defeated Tsutomu Oosugi & Yasutaka Oosera when Shimatani submitted Oosera with a Modified Camel Clutch (8:48).
2. Yasu Urano, Antonio Honda & Gouma Ryu defeated T-Hawk, El Lindaman & Mad Paulie when Ryu pinned Paulie with a School Boy (9:23).
3. Amigo Suzuki defeated Hiroshi Yamato with the Mezcal (8:16).
4. Tetsuya Endo & Ryuichi Sekine defeated Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei when Endo submitted Kei with the Combine (8:36).
5. Soma Takao defeated Yusuke Kubo with the Official Endless Waltz (10:31).
6. Daisuke Contra Daisuke: Daisuke Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa Vs Yuko Miyamoto & Daisuke Sekimoto ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).

The main event went to a 30 minute draw so Daisuke Sasaki and Daisuke Sekimoto don’t have to lose their first names. Sasaki said they could have done a one versus one sudden death overtime but he felt like death after the match. So instead he forgave Sekimoto for also being named Daisuke. Sekimoto congratulated Sasaki on his 15th anniversary and said he looks forward to fighting him again. Sasaki told a story about leaving Tokyo at 19 years old to join the SUPER CREW wrestling school in Saitama. Shuji Ishikawa interrupted the story because he wanted to sing karaoke with somebody. Neither Sasaki nor Tetsuya Endo wanted to join in but Soma Takao and Hiroshi Yamato began to play air instruments. Yuko Miyamoto then joined Ishikawa in singing his theme song “One Night Carnival” by Kishidan. Sasaki hit Ishikawa with the DAMNATION signboard to stop them. He then announced “DAMNATION ILLEGAL ASSEMBLY RETURNS VOL. 3” will take place on 19th February, which is also Yasu Urano’s birthday. He also had one more surprise he was working on in secret even when he was kicked out of DAMNATION. He announced Endo will be releasing a nude photobook next year!!!

Yusuke Kubo came out wearing his old Goro Jr. mask. He wanted to wrestle while wearing it but Takao made him take it off.

The Brahman Brothers used disinfectant spray as a weapon instead of their usual liquids. Endo & Ryuichi Sekine ended up using each other’s signature submission holds on the Brahmans to beat them.

Yamato is back to singing the lyrics to his entrance song. He still has the black marks over his eyes though.

DDT “DAMNATION ILLEGAL ASSEMBLY RETURNS VOL. 2 ~DAISUKE SASAKI 15TH ANNIVERSARY SP~”, 12/11/2020
Shinjuku FACE

1. Chikara & Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Tsutomu Oosugi & Yasutaka Oosera
2. T-Hawk, El Lindaman & Mad Paulie Vs Yasu Urano, Antonio Honda & Gouma Ryu
3. Hiroshi Yamato Vs Amigo Suzuki
4. Tetsuya Endo & Ryuichi Sekine Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei
5. Soma Takao Vs Yusuke Kubo
6. Daisuke Contra Daisuke: Daisuke Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa Vs Yuko Miyamoto & Daisuke Sekimoto

The main event has an extra edge added to it. Daisuke Sasaki thinks there are too many people named Daisuke or Sasaki in pro wrestling. For his 15th Anniversary he wants to hunt down a Daisuke and take his name. So he demands Daisuke Sekimoto to put his name on the line in a Daisuke Contra Daisuke match! The loser loses his first name!

All is good and calm in DAMNATION again so the wrestlers Sasaki originally banished from the show are allowed come back in. It means Sasaki doesn’t have to work double duty anymore. Let Tetsuya Endo & Ryuichi Sekine worry about The Brahman Brothers now.

5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai (c) Vs Akito, Kazuki Hirata & Shota

With MAO back in action the entire DDT Sauna Club can be together in the ring again. MAO wants this friend group to all team up together for a match.

Is Gorgeous Matsuno obsessed with the O-40 Title? He lost the championship to Toru Owashi last week and Danshoku Dieno came out to stand up for him. Instead Matsuno thought Dieno was trying to push him out of the O-40 Title picture so he could get the belt for himself. The two face off and whoever wins should have nobody stopping them from getting the next title shot.

DDT “DRAMATIC LOVE FOR FUJI! 2020”, 15/11/2020
Shizuoka Fuji-san Messe

1. Akito Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga
2. Antonio Honda Vs Keigo Nakamura
3. DDT Megatonweight Single Match: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Mad Paulie
4. DAMNATION Vs DDT Sauna Club!: Tetsuya Endo, Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Yuki Ueno

6. Makoto Oishi 42 Year Old Local Triumph! Fuji Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Mizuki Watase Vs HARASHIMA, Chris Brookes & Kazuki Hirata

Maybe the Sauna Club becomes a regular fixture? Yuki Ueno is without a unit, MAO and Shunma Katsumata are considering becoming a tag team again. Maybe merge it with ALL OUT? Being a VP must be stressful for Akito so a sauna trip can help him relax. It would do Yuki Iino some good too. Why stop there? Get DISASTER BOX involved. DAMNTION too. All of DDT becomes the Sauna Club! ALL OF CYBERFIGHT BECOMES THE SAUNA CLUB! THE WHOLE WORLD BECOMES THE SAUNA CLUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“MASAHIRO TAKANASHI BOX OFFICE YOPPARAI IS BACK”, 29/01/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Masahiro Takanashi Vs Fuminori Abe

Today Masahiro Takanashi announced he will be coming back from his injury! He is holding a self-produced voluntary show on 29th January for his first match back since his ankle injury back in March. Fuminori Abe will be his opponent, the same man he lost the Union MAX Title to when the injury happened. Takanashi said this was always the match he wanted for his return. He made that decision the night he was injured.

Takanashi is not entirely out of the woods yet. Next March he is scheduled to get a plate surgically removed from his left knee and also a bolt from his right knee that he’s had for the last 10 years. He doesn’t know how much he will be able to wrestle after 29th January but if the condition of his knees are good then you will see him in DDT and ChocoPro. But for now he is only focused on his return match.

Wrestlers advertised to appear include Chris Brookes, Yukio Sakaguchi, Isami Kodaka, Yasu Urano, the UMA Corps and members of Gatoh Move.
