DDT Nagano Sales Manager Toru Owashi (Free) Local Triumph! 20th Anniversary Of Debut “Owashi And His Delightful Friends Part 8” Special 6-Man Tag Match: Toru Owashi, Akito & Kazuki Hirata Vs Danshoku Dieno, Antonio Honda & Yukio Naya ended in a No Contest when Hisaya Imabayashi stopped the match (2:55).
4a. Rematch: Toru Owashi, Akito & Kazuki Hirata Vs Danshoku Dieno, Antonio Honda & Yukio Naya ended in a No Contest when Mizuki Watase interfered (2:55).
4b. Another Rematch: Akito, Kazuki Hirata & Yukio Naya defeated Toru Owashi, Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda when Hirata pinned Honda with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (7:18).
5. The 37KAMIINA Vs DAMNATION!: Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Mad Paulie defeated Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & MAO when Takao pinned Katsumata with the Gin And Tonic (15:00).
6. Shinshu! Chashu! Minanoshu! Nagano Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Yusuke Okada defeated HARASHIMA, Yuki Iino & Keigo Nakamura when Oishi submitted Nakamura with the Fujiyama Knee Lock (18:09).

Despite being on the losing end of the main event, HARASHIMA got to do the Reverse Hurricanrana on Jun Akiyama. The landing reminds Akiyama of the Half Nelson Suplexes Kenta Kobashi used to do. It made him realize these preview matches are being fought like title matches themselves. When Junretsu won in the end, Makoto Oishi joked that the Nagano fans find it hard to believe he that he won in the main event. Akiyama said this is the first time he is wrestling in Nagano for DDT. He came here with the KO-D Openweight Title and he will still have it the next time he returns. Yusuke Okada said he would like to team with Junretsu in Nagano again even though he is not part of the unit. HARASHIMA thanked Yuki Iino & Keigo Nakamura for doing their best but said today’s result was out of his hands.

Soma Takao got under Yuki Ueno’s skin again by pouring a drink over his head during their match. He then did it again after the match was over. Ueno kicked Takao in response, grabbed the can and poured the remainder of the drink over Takao. The two then got into a fight that had to be broken up by the seconds at ringside. Takao claims he was only giving Ueno a drink as a kind gesture to make him stronger.

The Toru Owashi homecoming match was too normal for Hisaya Imabayashi’s tastes so he called it off after three minutes. Normally when they do a special match like this Kazuki Hirata immediately loses and Imabayashi has to restart the match. He thinks the fans love that spot so why aren’t they doing it here? He understands the wrestlers are worried the spot might get old but everyone always wants to see the same things! The match restarted and Antonio Honda quickly gave Hirata a School Boy. Suddenly, Mizuki Watase ran into the ring and broke the count. Imabayashi called off the match again and asked Watase what was wrong. Watase explained that Owashi’s hometown is 63 km away so he cannot be the hometown hero. Watase is closer to being a Nagano local than he is! He called the match a fraud that only exists to sell tickets. He rallied Akito, Hirata & Yukio Naya to his side and the match restarted with new teams. Danshoku Dieno didn’t have enough energy left to charge up Antonio Honda’s Gongitsune so Watase offered to perch himself on the turnbuckles in the Hell Gate position. He stayed there waiting while Honda got pinned by Hirata. When the match was over, Watase apologised to the fans and promised them exciting matches would happen after intermission.

Chris Brookes briefly became a double champion when he trapped Saki Akai in a Modified Octopus Stretch and the ref ended the match when Akai couldn’t respond. Brookes was rewarded with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title but Akai confronted him after the match. After a scuffle, Akai hit Brookes with a High Kick and pinned him with the Quetzalcoatl to win back the belt. Backstage Akai said she never gave up so she shouldn’t have lost the title in the first place. No matter how many times she loses the belt, she will win it back so she can have her Title Vs Title match with Brookes in Korakuen Hall. Brookes said Akai used up her “1 in 100” chance of beating him today.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “BUTTERFLY DANCE 2021” Results

April 24, 2021

GANBARE☆JOSHI “BUTTERFLY DANCE 2021”, 24/04/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
110 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Ganjo Vs Actwres girl’Z: Moeka Haruhi defeated Rina Amikura with the Diving Foot Stomp (8:16).
2. Ganjo Jacket Match: Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Cherry with the Dogi Ninja Choke (11:52).
3. Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling Offer Match: Yumehito Imanari & Shota defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shu Sakurai when Shota pinned Sakurai with the Frog Splash (10:50).
4. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) defeated Chris Brookes, Drew Parker & Miyako Matsumoto when Shinno pinned Parker with the Ranhei (20:31).
*V2 for Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga.
5. Special Single Match: Yuu Yamagata defeated HARUKAZE with the Cross Facelock (2:59).
6. Special Single Match: Yuu Yamagata defeated Yuna Manase with the Cross Facelock (7:07).

The second Ganbare☆Joshi produced show was meant to give the spotlight to HARUKAZE and Yuna Manase but sadly for them Yuu Yamagata rained on their parade. Yamagata’s first match was against HARUKAZE and she was given an Armbreaker from HARUKAZE before the match even started. HARUKAZE went all or nothing into an Armbar but Yamagata fought out of it and easily won the match in under three minutes with the Cross Facelock. Her immediate match with Manase afterwards was more challenging but the end result was the same. Yamagata avoided the Suzumi Dynamic and rolled Manase into the Cross Facelock to win both of her matches by submission.

Yamagata was in a bad mood over the two matches. She called her opponents phony idols who don’t really want to lead joshi wrestling. It is impossible for them to shine in the joshi world. Yamagata had one last thing to say before she would leave. She will never be in this organization again! Manase cried over her defeat and was comforted by Moeka Haruhi. She told her no matter what happens, no matter how ugly they look, they are representing Ganbare☆Wrestling. Even if they are completely defeated they should let the fans see it all. Manase understood her point. She came here to Ganpro from Tokyo Joshi Pro with a vow never to give up or run away. There will be another Ganbare☆Joshi show in June. Manase and HARUKAZE promised after Golden Week they will drag Yamagata back to prove her wrong!

Chris Brookes & Drew Parker weren’t exactly thrilled to be teaming with Miyako Matsumoto in the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles match. They were fine when left to their own devices (except for the moment where Parker tried to attack Hagane Shinno with scissors) but when Matsumoto wanted to get involved they would ignore her. Shinichiro Tominaga put them in position outside the ring for Asuka to Moonsault onto them. Matsumoto got a nearfall on Shinno with a Gannosuke Clutch. Shinno got one back and pinned Matsumoto with the Ranhei for a successful title defence. Brookes & Parker didn’t care about Matsumoto and left without her.

Minoru Fujita was at ringside working as a photographer during the Jacket Match. After Shuichiro Katsumura won the match against Cherry, Fujita shoved Ken Ohka into the ring. Katsumura then threw Ohka to the canvas and stole his wallet.

The Mixed Tag Tournament that was supposed to be held next month is confirmed to be cancelled. Haruhi thinks it will be brought back when it is safe to do so. And when it does she wants it to be named The Ganpro tournament.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SPRING TOUR ’21 ~THE BULLET~” Results

April 24, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SPRING TOUR ’21 ~THE BULLET~”, 24/04/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
110 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Maki Itoh & Arisu Endo defeated Nao Kakuta & Moka Miyamoto when Itoh submitted Miyamoto with the Itoh Special (9:51).
2. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao defeated Pom Harajuku and Mahiro Kiryu when Misao pinned Harajuku with La Magistral Cradle (11:01).
3. Yuki Kamifuku, Marika Kobashi & Raku defeated Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Haruna Neko when Kobashi pinned Neko with the Running Bulldog Headlock (11:29).
4. Hikari Noa defeated Sena Shiori with the Blizzard Suplex (8:50).
5. Miyu Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Shoko Nakajima defeated Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe, Mirai Maiumi & Suzume when Nakajima pinned Watanabe with the Northern Lights Suplex (13:07).

After the main event Shoko Nakajima touched on the latest state of emergency in Japan and Tokyo Joshi Pro’s decision to do empty arena shows for the next couple of weeks. Nakajima said she won’t have a chance to see the fans again but there is no pain that never ends. TJPW has to say goodbye to their fans for a while but they will be working hard and doing their best in the meantime.

In the prelude to the Princess Of Princess Title match, Miyu Yamashita wasn’t satisfied with the amount of time she got to fight Rika Tatsumi. She’s happy to be in the match but she needed more to figure out the champion’s plan for their title match. She thinks Tatsumi is going to target her legs but there is still also the Dragon Sleeper to worry about. Tatsumi warns she isn’t the same person she was in the past. She is “Champion Rika Tatsumi” who fights to the death and overcomes all obstacles. She is thinking of how to finish Yamashita off on 4th May.

Sena Shiori graduates from TJPW after her final match against her best friend Hikari Noa. Shiori was able to kick out of the Blizzard Suplex but a second one with a bridge pinned her for the three count. After the match Shiori said it’s been a little over a year since her debut and just over two since she became a trainee. She is grateful for her time here. She also said this isn’t a retirement but a graduation so she will see everyone again some day. She’s feeling sad about it but Sena will be Sena and she’ll try her best to keep smiling from now on. Backstage Shiori mentioned her big regret was never winning the Princess Tag Team Titles with Noa. They were best friends before pro wrestling and when Noa found out that Shiori wanted to be a wrestler she invited her to join TJPW because it was a safe place to learn. Now that Shiori is graduating, she wants to see Noa become a singles champion.

Watase Not Ready Yet, Takeshita Returns, Arai’s Debut Match Set

April 21, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THAT’S J-PW”, 22/04/2021
WRESTLE UNIVERSE

1. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Haruna Neko

Tomorrow sees Yuki Kamifuku and Haruna Neko appear in “THAT’S J-PW” for the first time.

DDT “MAX BUMP 2021 TOUR IN NAGANO”, 25/04/2021
Nagano City Museum of Art Act Space

1. Hideki Okatani Vs Yuya Koroku
2. Tetsuya Endo & Yuji Hino Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuya Koroku
3. Chris Brookes & Toui Kojima Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai
4. The 37KAMIINA Vs DAMNATION!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & MAO Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Mad Paulie
5. DDT Nagano Sales Manager Toru Owashi (Free) Local Triumph! 20th Anniversary Of Debut “Owashi And His Delightful Friends Part 8” Special 6-Man Tag Match: Toru Owashi, Akito & Kazuki Hirata Vs Danshoku Dieno, Antonio Honda & Yukio Naya
6. Shinshu! Chashu! Minanoshu! Nagano Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Yusuke Okada Vs HARASHIMA, Yuki Iino & Keigo Nakamura

Mizuki Watase is still recovering from his arm injury and won’t be able to wrestle on the show. He originally targeted the Nagano show as the location for his return match. He will still be in attendance to greet the fans.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND 2021 ~WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR DREAMS~”, 04/05/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki Arai Debut Match: Maki Itoh & Arisu Endo Vs Miu Watanabe & Yuki Arai
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel (c) Vs Mirai Maiumi & Suzume
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

A ring full of idols will welcome Yuki Arai to the wrestling business. Arai already named Maki Itoh as a future opponent she wanted to wrestle. She also sees Arisu Endo as her closest senpai so it makes sense for those two to be her opponents. Miu Watanabe wants to bridge the gap between idols and wrestlers which makes her the perfect person for Arai to tag with. Arai promised she will do her best to get everyone’s approval. That kind of attitude doesn’t impress Itoh. She’ll see what Arai is like in the ring but she’s not excited about it.

DDT “MAX BUMP 2021”, 04/05/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Akito Vs Mad Paulie
2. 3 Way Match To Bring Back The Smile On Kikutaro’s Face After All He’s Been Through: Danshoku Dieno Vs Antonio Honda Vs Kikutaro
3. 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & MAO Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Yuji Hino Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Yuki Iino
4. Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Yusuke Okada Vs HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata
5. KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles: Sanshiro Takagi, Yukio Naya, Chikara & Nabe Yakan (c) Vs Keigo Nakamura, Hideki Okatani, Toui Kojima & Yuya Koroku
6. DDT Extreme Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Chris Brookes (E/c) Vs Saki Akai (I/c)
7. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Soma Takao

Did you enjoy Konosuke Takeshita’s quick stay in AEW? I bet he’ll go back eventually. The timing suggests he is back in Japan now and self isolating before he can return to action in DDT. Waiting for him is his friends in The 37KAMIINA for a massive free for all against DAMNATION and Eruption plus former ally Yuki Iino.

The recent incident in America caused Kikutaro to lose his smile. It’s up to Danshoku Dieno and Antonio Honda to bring it back!

DDT “AUDIENCE 2021 TOUR IN HAMAMATSU”, 05/05/2021
Shizuoka Create Hamamatsu Hall

1. Yusuke Okada Vs Yuya Koroku
2. Tetsuya Endo Vs Yukio Naya
3. Chris Brookes, Akito & Keigo Nakamura Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai
4. DDT Variety Group Presents Children’s Day Memorial Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda Vs Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata
5. DAMNATION Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao, Yuji Hino & Hiroshi Yamato Vs Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & MAO
6. Shizuoka Hero Makoto Oishi Triumphant Return! Hamamatsu Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Hideki Okatani Vs HARASHIMA, Yuki Iino & Toui Kojima

Match #4 does not sound suitable for children at all.

DDT “ULTIMATE TAG LEAGUE 2021 IN KORAKUEN HALL!!”, 09/05/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Tetsuya Endo, Soma Takao & Mad Paulie Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Saki Akai & Yuki Iino
2. 4 Way Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Yukio Naya Vs Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine Vs Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Akito & Keigo Nakamura
3. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Yusuke Okada
4. Naomi Yoshimura Return Match: HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yuki Ueno & MAO
5. Ultimate Tag League 2021: Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi Vs Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
6. Ultimate Tag League 2021: Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Yuji Hino

The 4 Way Tag Match show some of the teams that could have been in the Ultimate Tag League. I think we’re good with what we got instead.
