1. Shota’s Independent Journey: Shota defeated Hyper Brave G-Valion with a Casadora (9:33).
2. THE HALFEE Vs Sagat Manase: SAGAT & Yuna Manase defeated Moeka Haruhi & Shu Sakurai when SAGAT pinned Sakurai with a Diving Body Press (11:05).
3. Ganpro Vs Aka Rangers: Ken Ohka & Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO when Ohka pinned GENTARO with the Flame Spear (12:45).
4. STOP THE Hidaka! Special Single Match: Ikuto Hidaka defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Stray Dog High Kick (14:16).
5. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Keisuke Ishii, Kouki Iwasaki & HARUKAZE (c) when Tominaga submitted HARUKAZE with the Mokunin Just Facelock (17:36).
*DREAMS HARU TRUE fails in V1. Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga becomes the 25th GWC 6-Man Tag Team Champions!

Oh well, easy come easy go. DREAMS HARU TRUE looked to be a well oiled machine by giving Shinichiro Tominaga a Triple Power Bomb. But HARUKAZE’s attempt to seal the deal fell apart when Tominaga blocked her Flame Spear, then Asuka caught her with a Super Kick and Hagane Shinno took her down with a Lariat. HARUKAZE had one chance left when she rolled away from Tominaga’s Moonsault and went for the Cross Armbreaker. But Tominaga powered out of it an applied the Just Facelock. HARUKAZE desperately tried to reach the ropes but had no choice but to tap out and lose her first championship without a single successful defence. Tominaga made it clear after the show that he does not want to defend the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles in March so the team will go into Korakuen Hall on 7th April as the guaranteed reigning champions.

Keisuke Ishii said HARUKAZE did her best but it was time for DREAMS HARU TRUE to split up. HARUKAZE was upset but asked if Ishii and Kouki Iwasaki would reform the group in the future if she became stronger. They both nodded. Iwasaki then said he wants a rematch with Ikuto Hidaka so he can avenge his defeat to him. Ken Ohka approved and told the trio that today’s breakup is not a backwards step for any of them, but a positive move forward.

Iwasaki’s challenge to Hidaka came because Hidaka believes he has ran out of opponents in Ganbare☆Pro. Hidaka overcame a spirited fight from Yumehito Imanari but the result was no different to the previous matches in the “STOP THE Hidaka” campaign.

Ohka finally got what he wanted, a win over The Aka Rangers. Having Shuichiro Katsumura on his team was a difference maker. He kept Takashi Sasaki held back while Ohka was able to get the better of GENTARO. Ohka celebrated the victory by challenging Sasaki to a singles match at the April Korakuen show! Not only that but he wants it to be a Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match! As Ohka’s senpai, Sasaki won’t run or hide away from the challenge. He’ll crush Ohka at Korakuen!

DDT “DDT DOESN’T KNOW GUNMA YET 2021” Results

February 21, 2021

DDT “DDT DOESN’T KNOW GUNMA YET 2021”, 21/02/2021
Gunma YAMADA Green Dome Maebashi Sub-Event Area
164 Fans

1. Daisuke Sasaki defeated Keigo Nakamura with the Cross Facelock (10:23).
2. No DQ Handicap Match: Toru Owashi & Danshoku Dieno defeated Kazuki Hirata when Dieno pinned Hirata with a School Boy (10:31).
3. Chris Brookes & Yusuke Okada defeated Yuki Ueno & Toui Kojima when Okada pinned Kojima with the Fisherman Buster (13:24).
4. Shunma Katsumata & MAO defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Yukio Naya when MAO pinned Naya with a Two Person Cradle (12:36).
5. The Mountain Of Akagi Is Only Here Tonight! Maebashi Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Soma Takao & Yuji Hino defeated HARASHIMA, Kazusada Higuchi & Antonio Honda when Hino pinned Honda with the Fucking BOMB (12:40).
6. Junretsu Vs ALL OUT!: Konosuke Takeshita, Akito & Yuki Iino defeated Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Hideki Okatani when Iino pinned Okatani with a Diving Hip Drop (15:55).

It is two days before DDT visits Nagoya for their second big event of the month. ALL OUT and the DDT Sauna Club are in tune for their matches this Tuesday. Konosuke Takeshita was happy with his performance against Jun Akiyama today but he isn’t turning his sights away from winning the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Compared to yesterday, Yuki Iino was a little bit calmer and he also added a Diving Hip Drop to his moveset because he thinks hitting the Spear is no longer enough of a guarantee to finish off his opponents. He hasn’t come up with his own name for it yet.

MAO & Shunma Katsumata outsmarted Yukio Sakaguchi in an unusual way. MAO used a cradle hold to pin Yukio Naya and with Katsumata’s assistance, trapped Sakaguchi on top of himself to add extra weight pressing down on Naya’s shoulders for the three count. MAO now has no doubt that he and Takeshita will win the KO-D Tag Titles from Eruption. He will win the championship and become a hero! He also said if Katsumata beats him in their upcoming DDT Extreme Title defence that does not mean Katsumata becomes a hero too.

Yesterday Yusuke Okada challenged Yuki Ueno for the DDT UNIVERSAL Title. They were meant to team up today but agreed to be on opposite teams after the title match was confirmed to happen on 14th March.

Kazuki Hirata was meant to team with Mizuki Watase but the match switched to being a 3 Way after Watase’s injury. Hirata still wanted to cause a revolution in Maebashi so he demanded to fight Toru Owashi & Danshoku Dieno in a No DQ Handicap Match instead. Hirata was in danger from being outnumbered but received unexpected help from the ring announcer Inoue Mic. He wanted to join Hirata’s revolution and offered his pair of glasses to Hirata after Owashi threw the Hirata GO! glasses away. Hisaya Imabayashi also joined in the revolution and gave his glasses to Hirata for him to dance. Hirata was then rolled up by Dieno for the three count. Hirata apologised for his failed revolution but Imabayashi encouraged him to try again next year. Hirata was then carried to the back on the shoulders of Imabayashi, Inoue and Keigo Nakamura.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2021 WINTER ~LOVERS~” Results

February 21, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2021 WINTER ~LOVERS~”, 21/02/2021
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall
163 Fans – No Vacancy

1. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Noa pinned Kiryu with the Blizzard Suplex (8:55).
2. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Mirai Maiumi & Suzume when Saint-Michel submitted Suzume with the Saint-Michel (14:28).
3. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo defeated Marika Kobashi, Raku, Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko when Sakazaki pinned Harajuku with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (8:43).
4. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe when Itoh submitted Tatsumi with the Modified Itoh Special (13:53).
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino when Nakajima pinned Tenma with the Diving Senton (14:09).

Two rounds in and the big guns of the tournament have mostly all fallen. The Bakuretsu Sisters were eliminated by Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao in a rematch of the recent Princess Tag Team Titles defence. Misao saved her partner from the Killswitch and got rid of Yuki Aino with the Hipami Returns. That gave Nakajima the opening to pin Nodoka Tenma with the Diving Senton. Nakajima still regrets failing to win the Tag Titles and owes a debt to Misao over it so they’re aiming to win the tournament! Also Nakajima noticed that she is moving faster and lighter around the ring than she has been for the last month. Maybe being a superhero for a month worked out for her after all. The Sisters are obviously disappointed over losing and said they will wait at the top of the mountain for the eventual tournament winners. They’ll take the lift up there while everyone else is climbing after them.

Daydream were also eliminated in an upset but the result might be a sign of an upcoming shift in power at Tokyo Joshi Pro. The team of Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh is not a new pairing and their teamwork was something Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe didn’t anticipate. Itoh was lifted up for the Daydream Eternity but Yamashita saved her and dropped Tatsumi face first into Itoh’s head before German Suplexing her. Itoh then took over with a Modified Itoh Special and shockingly made Tatsumi tap out! Backstage, Yamashita & Itoh announced they now have a tag team name. From today forward they are 121000000 (One To Million)! Itoh explained that they may not be able to win on their own, but together they are both a million times stronger. Yamashita came up with other names but Itoh ignored her messages and came up with 121000000 after talking with Yuki Kamifuku.

Whatever bad omen Sakisama sensed yesterday doesn’t have anything to do with NEO Biishiki-gun it seems. They had no problem beating BeeStar today. Mirai Maiumi & Suzume are so insignificant to Sakisama that she only remembers them by their colours, blue and yellow. She also isn’t impressed that the tournament winners will get a trophy because she can buy trophies whenever she wants. She wants a victory parade instead.

Last but not least, Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori made it to the semi-finals over Toyo University Tag. Shiori said her bond with Noa is strong which is why their team works. Kamifuku teased Mahiro Kiryu backstage for losing the fall. She said Kiryu lied to her about wanting to win today. She threatened to leave her unless she promises not to lie to her again and also buy her lunch at the school cafeteria. Only then will they make up.

The semi-final lottery was held later in the evening for the final rounds happening on 6th March. The first semi-final is NEO Biishiki-gun Vs Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori (team name HikaShio). The other is 121000000 Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (team name Kyoraku Kyomei).

A new series of events called “TJPW INSPIRATION” will begin on 1st April. The concept will be an experimental show held every couple of months with a small roster being challenged with new possibilities. The main event of the first show will be Hikari Noa versus freelancer Rina Yamashita in a Hardcore Match! Noa wants to absorb everything that Yamashita throws at her. She also wants Yamashita to go to Tokyo Joshi proper so this might not be a one time appearance.
