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.

DDT “THIS IS OUR 9TH NARIMASU PARTY! 2021” Results

February 20, 2021

DDT “THIS IS OUR 9TH NARIMASU PARTY! 2021”, 20/02/2021
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall
124 Fans

1. Toru Owashi, Antonio Honda & Gota Ihashi defeated Chris Brookes, Yukio Naya & Toui Kojima when Honda pinned Kojima with the Diving Fist Drop (8:57).
2. Young Communication Generation Vs DDT Legend Army!: Sanshiro Takagi & Danshoku Dieno defeated Akito & Kazuki Hirata when Dieno pinned Akito after the Kiss His Ass (8:52).
3. Yusuke Okada defeated Keigo Nakamura with a Figure 4 Leg Lock (8:56).
4. DAMNATION Vs ALL OUT!: Yuki Iino & Shunma Katsumata defeated Yuji Hino & Mad Paulie by Countout (8:28).
5. DAMNATION Vs Junretsu!: Tetsuya Endo, Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao defeated Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Hideki Okatani when Takao pinned Okatani with the Diving Foot Stomp (14:24).
6. Road To NAGOYA! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, MAO & Yuki Ueno defeated HARASHIMA, Yukio Sakaguchi & Kazusada Higuchi when Takeshita pinned Sakaguchi with the German Suplex (17:33).

The main event was DDT Sauna Club’s warning to Eruption. The finish saw Konosuke Takeshita give Kazusada Higuchi a Last Ride Power Bomb then he would break out of Yukio Sakaguchi’s Sleeper Hold to pin him with the German Suplex. He told the both of them afterwards it’s been a long time since the Sauna Club got to show off their true colours. MAO chipped in that this match is the result of all his strength and he is only going to get stronger. The Sauna Club promise that every member will be holding a title belt in Nagoya next week.

Yuki Iino went on a warpath because he can’t keep his emotions in check around Yuji Hino. The two brawled around ringside leading to Iino hitting Spears on Hino and Mad Paulie. Iino then lost control and hit his own partner Shunma Katsumata with a Lariat before entering the ring in time to win by countout. Iino grabbed the microphone and shouted he will crush Hino in Nagoya! Backstage Iino explained that when he went into a rage, everyone looked like Hino to him and he just wanted to scream at a high place.

Everyone knows Yusuke Okada wants to face Yuki Ueno for the DDT UNIVERSAL Title so he didn’t want to waste any more time and threw out the challenge. Ueno politely said he’s been waiting for somebody to grab his attention. He’s happy to see Okada do that. Okada has a lot of respect for Ueno but he hates him for being better looking. Their title match will happen in Korakuen Hall on 14th March.

The generation feud between the DDT Legend Army and Young Communication Generation continues. Sanshiro Takagi directed traffic by lifting up Akito in the Spicolli Driver and holding him there for Danshoku Dieno to Lip Lock him. After the Driver, Dieno then put Akito in the Danshoku Killswitch position and waited for Takagi to give him a Stunner for extra damage. The prone Dieno pinned Akito and Takagi gave Shota a Stunner after the match.

The DDT Extreme Title Match between Katsumata and MAO on 28th February will be a Kids Room Death Match 37 (Sauna) Count Edition. Katsumata wants the ring to be like a kid’s playroom so anything that is not considered dangerous can be used as a weapon. The goal is to either win with a 3 count pin or have enough 1 and 2 count pins to reach 37 counts in total (3 = san, 7 = nana). Katsumata wants to move beyond MAO so he can reach the next step. MAO just wants to “Destroy Shunma Katsumata!”

Akito announced the main event for the 3rd March BOYZ show is a 5 Vs 5 Gauntlet Match between the New BOYZ Army and the Old BOYZ Army.

February 20, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2021 WINTER ~LOVERS~”, 20/02/2021
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall
136 Fans

1. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo when Kiryu pinned Miyamoto with the Spinebuster (9:38).
2. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko when Watanabe pinned Neko with the Tear Drop (10:56).
3. Miyu Yamashiya, Maki Itoh, Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Hikari Noa, Sena Shiori, Mirai Maiumi & Suzume when Nakajima pinned Suzume with the Northern Lights Suplex (9:08).
4. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Marika Kobashi & Raku when Sakisama submitted Kobashi with the Versailles Foot Choke (11:25).
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki when Tenma pinned Mizuki with the Killswitch (13:09).

The Bakuretsu Sisters have one goal on their minds in the “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament. They want to cement their status as THE tag team in Tokyo Joshi Pro’s entire existence. The current Princess Tag Team Champions are on track to prove it by eliminating The Magical Sugar Rabbits in the first round! Nodoka Tenma asked for some time to rest but Yuki Aino reminded her that Round 2 takes place tomorrow.

Mei Saint-Michel went into today’s show still depressed over experiencing her first defeat. She cheered herself up by copying Marika Kobashi & Raku’s mannerisms and told Sakisama she is okay after they won their match. Mei’s attempts at doing Kobashi’s Gal poses annoyed Sakisama, who thinks they are vulgar. Later backstage something ominous happened. Sakiama’s rose fell apart in her hands during her post-match interview. She thinks it’s a sign that a storm is coming tonight. What could that storm be?

The tournament is a chance for the lower level wrestlers to step up but Rika Tatsumi thinks her opponents failed to do that today. She wanted Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko to come at Daydream with enough momentum to break them but Tatsumi was left disappointed. Miu Watanabe expected them to have more unique attacks than just sneaker kicks and nail scratching. On the bright side, at least the result showed that Daydream are still a powerful force together.

Yuki Kamifuku celebrates her birthday today by advancing to Round 2 with Mahiro Kiryu. Kamifuku’s advice to her tag partner is to look beyond just winning the Max Heart tournament. Everyone in the tournament is thinking about winning so their goal should be to gain Max popularity!

Tomorrow’s Round 2 matches are Daydream Vs Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh, Toyo University Tag Vs Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori, Bakuretsu Sisters Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao and NEO Biishiki-gun Vs BeeStar. Everyone who lost in the 1st Round today are being thrown into an 8-Woman Tag Match.

DDT “DAMNATION ILLEGAL ASSEMBLY RETURNS VOL. 3” Results

February 19, 2021

DDT “DAMNATION ILLEGAL ASSEMBLY RETURNS VOL. 3”, 19/02/2021
Shinjuku FACE
186 Fans – No Vacancy

1. DAMNATION Super Heavyweight Match: Mad Paulie defeated Hoshitango with the Reverse Splash (9:30).
2. DAMNATION Vs Fukumen Gundan!: SUSHI, Masamune & SAGAT defeated Soma Takao, Yuji Hino & Nobuhiro Shimatani when Masamune pinned Shimatani with the Raikiri (13:01).
3. 45 Year Olds Gathering: Toru Owashi & Yasu Urano defeated Shuji Ishikawa & Tanomusaku Toba when Urano pinned Toba with a Cradle (14:10).
4. Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo defeated Hagane Shinno with the Shooting Star Press (14:59).
5. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Hiroshi Yamato defeated HUB & Yasutaka Oosera when Sasaki submitted Oosera with La Mistica Cross Facelock (19:41).

Daisuke Sasaki revealed it’s been eight and a half years since he last got to wrestle with HUB which is why he invited him to be in the main event today. He now wants to have a singles match against him. HUB said he would take that challenge anytime. He also mentioned he met up with Sasaki’s mentor Dick Togo last month. Sasaki told HUB there is still 10 months left this year for them to have their match. He gave a show closing speech until Mad Paulie handed him a can of beer along with a note. Sasaki read the note out loud “Charisma, long story, music start.” Then Shuji Ishikawa started singing “Make You Happy” by NiziU while Paulie and Tetsuya Endo danced along to it.

Backstage Sasaki mentioned today’s show is the start of his retirement tour. The one that is going on until 2080. Hiroshi Yamato didn’t know that. Actually it might be shorter, Sasaki said the he only has around 30 years left. A singles match against Yamato is another match Sasaki wants to do on the tour.

Endo bounces back from losing the KO-D Openweight Title by beating Hagane Shinno. It was a match made by Sasaki that Endo approved of. A rare meeting of the two wrestlers that gave Endo a fresh start. Endo said Shinno’s style is similar to Makoto Oishi because of the leg targeting, which he hates. On the other hand, Hagane didn’t understand why Sasaki wanted this match to happen. To him it was a match that Endo would win 99 times out of 100 and he couldn’t figure out how to get that 1 win today.

Today is Yasu Urano’s 45th birthday!. His present was wrestling a bunch of other 45 year olds. Ishikawa gave him a cake while Toru Owashi and Tanomusaku Toba popped festive crackers over him. Urano said he still feels like a kid. In fact all the wrestlers here still act like kids. He then joked that Ishikawa was a late bloomer and it’s all going to go downhill for him now.

BASARA “BASARA 149 ~GLITTER~” Results

February 16, 2021

BASARA “BASARA 149 ~GLITTER~”, 16/02/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Daichi Kazato defeated Takato Nakano with the Opa (8:19).
2. Handicap Match: FUMA & Yusuke Kubo defeated Minoru Fujita, Gouma & Rekka when FUMA pinned Gouma when FUMA submitted Gouma with a Crab Hold (7:47).
3. Jacket Match: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with a Cross Heel Hold (R3 1:45).
4. Yasu Urano, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Fuminori Abe & Masato Kamino when Urano pinned Kamino with a Cradle (12:10).
5. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura (c) defeated SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa when Shimomura pinned Takizawa with the Swanton Bomb (13:38).
*V1 for Sento Minzoku.

Sento Minzoku were challenged by FUMA & Yusuke Kubo for the IRON FIST Tag Titles in a rematch from last year’s IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT semi-final. FUMA is convinced the result back then wasn’t right and that IRON PRIEST is the better team. Daiki Shimomura accepted and wants the match to happen on 23rd March.

Yasu Urano tried to lull Takumi Tsukamoto into a false sense of security with a handshake after their match. Tsukamoto knew what was coming and blocked a sneak kick Urano threw at him. Tsukamoto then pulled a plastic bag out of his pocket and tried to suffocate Urano with it until the others at ringside pulled them apart.

Ryota Nakatsu is getting invested in the Jacket Match concept. He is keeping a ranking and currently places himself in first. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi went into the match ranked 7th and there was no change after Nakatsu tapped him out.

Akiyama Joins DDT, Max Heart 1st Rounds, Watase Injured, Ueno Can’t Decide

February 15, 2021

Today a press conference was held by CyberFight to give some big news for DDT and NOAH. On the DDT side, Jun Akiyama has signed a one year full time contract with DDT. On the NOAH side, Keiji Muto has signed a two year contract with NOAH. President Sanshiro Takagi said the signings were made because he believes these two treasures will be the driving force behind CyberFight becoming No. 1 in the pro wrestling world. Takagi originally asked Akiyama to join DDT back in January after having conversations with All Japan at the end of last year. Akiyama held off on making a deal because of his knee surgery and asked to wait until after “KAWASAKI STRONG 2021” to make a decision. As soon as the main event was done and the show was over, Akiyama accepted Takagi’s offer to become DDT’s head coach. Akiyama knew of the risks involved and wants to put everything he has into DDT. Naomichi Marufuji believes Muto’s starpower is important to help make NOAH become a global company. He also has a strong sense of responsibility towards the company after becoming the GHC Heavyweight Champion. Muto said as long as NOAH has the No. 1 wrestler in the industry, CyberFight needs to become the No. 1 organization as well.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2021 ~DDT 24TH ANNIVERSARY~”, 28/03/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Openweight Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi

There are only two wrestlers who have beaten Akiyama in DDT so far. Tetsuya Endo and Kazusada Higuchi. Akiyama got his win back from Endo yesterday and he won’t consider himself a deserving KO-D Openweight Champion until he avenges his embarrassing defeat to Higuchi. So that’s the main event of the 24th Anniversary show set.

There has only been one person who has given backlash to Akiyama’s coaching in DDT. Danshoku Dieno doesn’t like the way Akiyama sees pro wrestling which is understandable given how much Dieno has represented DDT in the past. Akiyama welcomes the criticism and invites Dieno to show him his point of view. But he also warns that as head coach he won’t let members of the roster rebel against him just for the sake of it.
