After over four years away, DDT made its return to the world famous Tokyo Dome for its second empty arena show in the venue. This time the visit was to crown the winners of the first ever DDT TOKYO DOME CUP. 5 million yen was put on the line with 5 teams competing in total. When The 37KAMIINA entered the field first the format was revealed to be a Gauntlet match. They complained about the unfair disadvantage of being the first team but they kept quiet when Hisaya Imabayashi handed them a million yen in cash. The voice of Azusa Takigawa explained over the speakers that every team is given a million yen. The winners of each round would then take the losers’ money until the entire prize pot was filled. Chris Brookes, The Brahman Brothers and Gorgeous Matsuno then entered the field and handed over their money to start the match.

The two teams brawled around the baseball diamond. Brookes attempted to do an Old School walk across the fence but Konosuke Takeshita knocked him off it. The 37KAMIINA held each of their opponents in a Headlock on all four bases and all charged into the pitcher’s mound to give their opponents one big meeting of the minds. An Estrella chain was formed while Yuki Ueno countered the Praying Mantis Bomb into a Hurricanrana on Brookes for a nearfall. The Brahmans brought out their wacky weapons and gathered their opponents onto home base where they bowled a spare on them (Brahman Shu’s first bowl missed and hit Brahman Kei in the foot). Brookes leapt over Takeshita & Ueno to give MAO a Cutter. Matsuno took over and attempted to Power Bomb MAO but it was blocked. The Brahmans ran in with an electric drill but missed MAO and caught Matsuno in the groin with it instead. Brookes threw powder but MAO ducked that too and Matsuno took the damage again. MAO laid The Brahmans’ traffic sign underneath Matsuno and Curb Stomped him into it for the win.

The 37KAMIINA now had 2,000,000 yen and walked up the stands to meet their next opponents. Along the way Saki Akai appeared working as a beer seller. Shunma Katsumata asked for a beer and Akai told him it would cost 2 million yen. When Katsumata said that’s too expensive Akai called him a poor man, kicked him in the face and walked off looking for more customers.

The next team entering the Gauntlet appeared in the concourse area. It was the Tokyo Joshi Pro team! Hyper Misao carried a protest sign accusing The 37KAMIINA of lying about their love for saunas. They’re just cashing in on the rising popularity of the sauna industry and secretly hates saunas! She then pulled out a straw doll and began attacking it, committing a voodoo spell on Katsumata that worked. Ueno turned the spell against Misao and made her writhe in pain by twisting the doll in her direction. Misao stopped the spell by blinding Ueno with a spray and throwing him into a nearby trash can. Maki Itoh attacked MAO in the stands and called for the Cutest Knuckle Punch In The World to the empty Tokyo Dome. She then attempted the Gran Naniwa Crab Walk across a railing but was next to a column and had no room to complete the move. Hikari Noa took out a Barbwire Baseball Bat and Katsumata brought over a toy bat covered in Lego for a duel between the two. Their fight left a mess of Lego all over the floor. That left Takeshita facing off with Miyu Yamashita in a clash between the two champions of DDT and Tokyo Joshi. Yamashita kicked him good but was thrown chin first into a railing. She got angry and threw more kicks at The 37KAMIINA until MAO showed up challenging her to a martial arts face off. The two had a tense staredown that ended when MAO made Yamashita flinch and then punched her while her guard was down. Noa ran in holding a ladder over her head and shoulders, spinning around and knocking her opponents away. Takeshita stopped the spinning and Katsumata hit the ladder with a chair, leaving Noa in a stunned state. Yamashita was ready to charge back in when suddenly Misao cycled into the scene on a bike and crashed right into a castle of chairs! MAO smashed a plastic box over Itoh’s head but she no sold it. Her head finally took damage when MAO blocked the Kokeshi Headbutt with a chair. MAO then gave Itoh a Package Piledriver onto a stack of chairs. Finally, Katsumata laid Misao onto a pile of Chairs and hit the Totonoe Splash off of a scaffold for the three count. The 37KAMIINA now have 3 million yen.

The next round was taking place in the bullpen but on the way over, everyone bumped into Saki Akai again. Katsumata again tried to buy a beer but now Akai told him it would cost 3 million yen. He said the price is a ripoff so Akai kicked him down the stairway.

Waiting in the bullpen were Shinya Aoki, Kazusada Higuchi & Kazuki Hirata. They had a mystery partner too and it was revealed to be the RIZIN fighter Kouzi! The match started in the bullpen but moved over to the outfield. Higuchi threw MAO into the wall with a BT Bomb. Aoki’s team then all put The 37KAMIINA in submission holds when all of a sudden, the lights went out. They came back on and Yoshihiko was there standing above them in the seats! It did a dive from the balcony onto everyone below. It then caught Aoki in an Armbar until Hirata broke them apart. Yoshihiko challenged Kouzi to a fight but it was defeated with a combo that ended in a High Kick. Hirata praised Kouzi but then knocked him out with the Tegatana strike. The Hirata GO! glasses were pulled out and Hirata started dancing until Ueno Dropkicked him. Kouzi called for his special move and charged in for a Headbutt (Kouzi has a reputation for headbutting opponents in his fights, whether it’s always accidental is up for debate). Ueno dodged it and Hirata took the blow, leading him to get pinned. Imabayashi interviewed Kouzi after the round to see if he enjoyed the experience. Kouzi said it was a lot of fun and he is already prepared to transfer from RIZIN to DDT so he can continue doing it!

While everyone was getting into place for the final round, a VIP ceremonial first pitch was held back on the field. The first surprise was Jun Akiyama entering to the pitcher’s mound. The second surprise was Kenta Kobashi stepping up to the plate ready to bat! Akiyama threw a dangerous ball at Kobashi, causing a fight to nearly break out between them for the first time in the Tokyo Dome since 2004! Cooler heads prevailed and the two shook hands before introducing the final round.

Pheromones entered the field alongside Tetsuya Endo who for one night only was part of their antics as Tetsuya “Hercules” Endo. The entire prize pot of 5,000,000 yen was now complete and the final would be held under special rules. DDT is combining pro wrestling and baseball together to create Wrestleball! They play baseball and score runs by pinning their opponents on the way to the bases. It didn’t really make much sense and only got more crazy from there. Pheromones scored three points during an inning that involved Yuki Iino doing the Sexy Elbow on his opponents after hitting a home run, Endo getting his shorts pulled down and Danshoku Dieno committing “Brazilian Flatulence” by spraying a CO2 canister from between his legs onto everyone while two samba dancers performed beside him. The 37KAMIINA went into the final inning needing to score 4 runs to win. They got the bases loaded despite some bad swinging from Takeshita & Ueno. The score got tied when Katsumata, Ueni & MAO all ran home. Dieno & Iino were left incapacitated thanks to a Lip Lock gone wrong. Takeshita ran his way round the bases but Endo stood in his way, still with his backside exposed. Endo went for a Hip Attack but Takeshita caught him with an Atomic Drop and knocked him into the air with a Lariat. All that was left was to reach home base. Takeshita sprinted over, hit Yumehito Imanari with the Zahi and German Suplexed him onto home plate for the winning run. The 37KAMIINA wins the DDT TOKYO DOME CUP!

But that wasn’t the end because there was one more surprise for everyone. The 5 million yen is a rewards for one person only so now The 37KAMIINA had to fight each other to claim the prize for themselves! Katsumata got a Triple Super Kick from his partners and the other three fought amongst themselves. Hisaya Imabayashi watched on until a member of the Tokyo Dome management approached him. He was told the show has gone on past the agreed time and DDT now has to pay an extension fee of 5,000,000 yen! Imabayashi hurriedly paid management the entire prize money while The 37KAMIINA continued fighting each other, oblivious that the prize was now gone.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TOUR 2021 IN CHIBA” Results

October 30, 2021

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TOUR 2021 IN CHIBA”, 30/10/2021
Chiba 2AW Square
118 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Chris Brookes & Keigo Nakamura defeated Akito & Yuya Koroku when Brookes pinned Koroku with the Praying Mantis Bomb (10:19).
2. Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari Vs Toru Owashi, Antonio Honda & Saki Akai ended in a No Contest (10:46).
3. Yuki Ueno defeated Gota Ihashi with the WR (11:54).
4. Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Yukio Naya defeated HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Kazuki Hirata when Naya pinned Hirata with the Back Drop (13:51).
5. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated Soma Takao & Hideki Okatani when Paul pinned Okatani with the Death Valley Bomb (11:21).
6. Chiba Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & MAO defeated Yuji Hino, Kazusada Higuchi & Hiroshi Yamato when Takeshita submitted Yamato with the Plus Ultra (19:47).
7. Dark Match: Tetsuya Endo Vs DJ Nira was a Dream… (16:55)?

The main event was all a dream shared through the consciousness of the entire audience. When The 37KAMIINA won their match and finished their victory speech, the shutter gate of 2AW Square opened up and then closed. DJ Nira was then dragged out to the ring for the final match, which was announced as a dark match. Tetsuya Endo came out and Nira tried to stab him with his umbrella. Nira warned Endo he missed his only chance to beat him but Endo then easily knocked him down with an Elbow Strike. Nira grabbed his umbrella again but this time stabbed himself. Endo was confused but continued wrestling. He put Nira in an Airplane Spin and it accidentally knocked out Yukinori Matsui when Nira’s feet clipped him in the head. Suddenly the lights would constantly switch off and on with the scene in the ring switching to something each time. Narration explained that Nira destroyed Endo’s knee in exchange for his life. And from that knee, a new life was born! Antonio Honda appeared in the ring wearing a diaper and crying. Nira and Endo encouraged him to stop crying and stand up. Honda did but quickly fell down and ran out of the ring. Nira told Endo the founder of an old wrestling school was here today and they should meet him. Toru Owashi then brought Honda back out, this time wearing an Ultimo Dragon mask. Everyone at ringside began singing “Seperados”, pulled down their shorts to reveal diapers underneath and formed a human pyramid in front of Endo with Nira on top. Nira jumped off the pyramid to do a Rocket Punch but missed Endo and crashed to the mat. The room went dark and narration explained that the wrestling school collapsed. The room lit up again to reveal a sleeping Matsui being woken up by Hisaya Imabayashi in the middle of the ring with no one else there. Matsui said he just had a dream and the show ended right at that moment.

In his post-match interview, Endo only talked about his opening D-Ou Grand Prix match against Yuji Hino and his goal to win all of his group bouts before facing Kazusada Higuchi in the final. He spoke nothing about what had happened earlier.

Konosuke Takeshita described he is at his best performance in time for the D-Ou Grand Prix. However since MAO is in his same group, MAO told him they are now enemies for the time being. Takeshita agrees even though they are on the same team for tomorrow’s Tokyo Dome empty arena match. Both will be aiming for the final where they expect Yuki Ueno to be on the other side after he wins his block. Shunma Katsumata isn’t in the tournament so they let him finish off the speech so he wouldn’t feel left out. He said if The 37KAMIINA wins the 5,000,000 yen cash prize in the Tokyo Dome then they will all go to Finland to celebrate in their saunas!

Today was Soma Takao’s first chance to get his hands on DAMNATION T.A since they attacked him. It didn’t fare well for him. Daisuke Sasaki attacked him from the get go then he & MJ Paul targeted Hideki Okatani with dirty tactics. Takao got a second wind but DAMNATION T.A’s teamwork overwhelmed him and Okatani. They got rid of Takao outside the ring and Paul hit the Death Valley Bomb on Okatani to win. Sasaki taunted Takao afterwards and when Takao tried to speak on the microphone, Sasaki knocked him out with a Super Kick. Sasaki then said he doesn’t care about Takao and doesn’t want to be involved with him ever again! The quality of DAMNATION T.A would only drop if they were to let him back in. Takao is now left wondering what he has done to be betrayed like this.

Yukio Naya was able to get the win for his match because Jun Akiyama struck Kazuki Hirata with a Knee Strike to set up the Back Drop finish. Akiyama said he wants Naya to wake up and find something good in his abilities because he thinks they will be working together in the future.

The D-Ou Grand Prix is on everyone’s minds. Ueno watched Yuji Hino’s match and found out he is much stronger than he expected. He also has the opening match with Akiyama coming up but Ueno has more goals he wants to achieve than just beating Akiyama.

The Pheromones match went too far out of control again. They wanted to do their antics on Saki Akai which crossed a line according to Imabayashi and got the match thrown out. Sanshiro Takagi then entered the ring to rescue the GM but Pheromones attacked him until Yusuke Okada came out for the save. Dieno got on the microphone and said if their matches keep getting stopped then they will never get to wrestle from start to finish. He demanded that the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match at Ota Ward Gymnasium must not be prematurely stopped or end in disqualification. Dieno then forced Imabayashi to officially make the match on 3rd November No DQ.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LET’S TAKE BRAVELY” Results

October 30, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LET’S TAKE BRAVELY”, 30/10/2021
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
202 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Nao Kakuta defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Shiden Kai (7:49).
2. Hyper Misao & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Misao pinned Endo with the Hypami Returns (8:35).
3. Shoko Nakajima & Nodoka Tenma defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Pom Harajuku when Nakajima pinned Harajuku with the Northern Lights Suplex (11:45).
4. Rika Tatsumi, Raku & Yuki Arai defeated Yuki Aino, Marika Kobashi & Haruna Neko when Tatsumi pinned Neko with the Twist Of Fate (12:02).
5. Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Miu Watanabe Vs Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Hikari Noa ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).

There are some problems every wrestler will face in their lives. For Miyu Yamashita it was forgetting part of her costume and having to wrestle in her training shorts instead. She treated the post-show interview as a press conference to apologize while Maki Itoh & Miu Watanabe laughed at her. The main event itself ended in a time limit draw right after Hikari Noa got a nearfall on Watanabe with the Blizzard Suplex. Afterwards Watanabe said she wants to fight Noa more and challenged her to a singles match. Noa wasn’t satisfied with the result either and said she would put the International Princess Title on the line for their match on 25th November. Yamashita then warned The Magical Sugar Rabbits that 121000000 will beat them for the Princess Tag Titles on the same show. Yuka Sakazaki told Yamashita to bring her costume next time.

Back in August Rika Tatsumi and Yuki Arai were supposed to have a match against each other but it was cancelled when Arai had to go into quarantine. Tatsumi reminded Arai about it after their tag match and challenged her for the November Korakuen Hall show. Arai accepted and said she really wants to do the match. She offered a handshake but Tatsumi slapped her instead. She told Arai to be prepared because the match will be merciless!

Some of the D-Ou Grand Prix invited press to view their training sessions in the lead up to the tournament. Kazusada Higuchi was taken through special training in Yokohama under Yukio Sakaguchi’s supervision and with Yuki Ishida helping out. First they worked out in a park then they held drills over at the Sakaguchi Dojo to work on Higuchi’s lower body strength. Higuchi said it was a long time since he participated in sumo training, not since before his knee injury. Sakaguchi told Higuchi that the D-Ou is more of a mental game than a physical one. Higuchi agrees it is a good lesson to learn.

Meanwhile MAO visited self-proclaimed Koppojutsu expert Takumi Yano to learn from him. After being shown around the place for an hour, MAO learned new stand up and ground techniques from Yano that focus on body joints. MAO learned a lot but admitted that one day’s training does not mean he can do use the new moves just like that. It will require more training but if he can get ready then he thinks Koppojutsu will be useful against HARASHIMA. Yano encouraged MAO to continue because when he was MAO’s age he was only a year into his Koppojutsu training.

DDT “DDTEEEEN!!” Results

October 27, 2021

DDT “DDTEEEEN!!”, 27/10/2021
Shinjuku FACE
102 Fans

1. Raimu Imai & SHINGO defeated Keigo Nakamura & Yuya Koroku when SHINGO submitted Koroku with a Crab Hold (8:28).
2. MAO defeated Daichi Sato with a Diving Body Press (11:04).
3. Yuki Ueno defeated Hideki Okatani with the WR (9:40).
4. Vent Vert Jack defeated You-sei☆Estrella with the Tlaloc (16:49).
5. Ilusion defeated El Unicorn with a Modified Butterfly Wing Lock (22:06).

Welcome the newest DDT brand to the table, DDTeeeen!! It’s a brand to present matches with teenage wrestlers from around the Japanese scene. The first show was built around the first two wrestlers to come from the project, El Unicorn (13 years old) and Ilusion (18 years old). In their debut match Unicorn pinned Ilusion but the opposite result happened when their first singles match took place. Today was the singles rematch. Unicorn hit his big moves like the Quebrada and Modified Double Knee Stomp. He also had the Modified Pedigree scouted and had counters for it. However, Ilusion used a Mexican Ace Crusher and dodged another Moonsault. He finally applied the Modified Pedigree but held on to apply a Butterfly Lock afterwards. Unicorn tried to reach the ropes but gave up in the end.

Ilusion didn’t have much about the match to reflect on. He was so focused on winning that he doesn’t remember what happened other than he won. He will never lose to El Unicorn or any other teenage wrestler out there! This claim drew out Vent Vert Jack. He introduced himself to Ilusion and then challenged him to a match. Ilusion accepted and warned he won’t just beat Jack, he will crush him. Backstage Ilusion was critical of DDTeeeen!! being built around El Unicorn instead of him. Ilusion has beaten him twice now and Unicorn has already gone through an injury. The face of DDTeeeen!! should be “The Phantom Of The Ring” Ilusion!

Vent Vert Jack (16 years old) won his match against You-sei☆Estrella (also 16) in a clash between the two wrestlers from MY WAY in Kyushu. The two showed respect to each other but still fought to win including some big dives from around ringside. Jack won with a Diving Double Knee Drop called the Tlaloc. Both wrestlers thanked DDT for giving their match a big platform.

HEAT-UP also provided some young wrestlers to participate on the show. Daichi Sato (13 years old) went up against MAO in a losing effort. Sato brought the fight with Shoulder Tackles and Middle Kicks. MAO turned the tables with a Knuckle Punch but Yukinori Matsui held him back to remind MAO his opponents is only 13. MAO switched to normal wrestling moves while threatening to show Sato “the fear of adults”. Sato countered the Michinoku Driver and unleashed more Middle Kicks, this time in a more fired up fashion. MAO stopped him with a Palm Strike and pinned him with a Diving Body Press. Sato asked DDT to give him a rematch if there is another DDTeeeen!! show. He will build his body so he won’t lose to the other DDTeeeen!! wrestlers.

The other HEAT-UP wrestlers fared better in the opening match. Raimu Imai (17 years old) & SHINGO beat the DDT team of Keigo Nakamura & Yuya Koroku. Imai used strong Chops and Dropkicks to keep his opponents at bay. SHINGO caught Koroku in a Bearhug and turned it into a Spinebuster. He then performed a Giant Swing and ended the match with a Crab Hold that made Koroku submit. Imai thanked the rest of the HEAT-UP roster for preparing him with secret training for today’s match.

GANBARE☆PRO “GANBARE☆JOSHI PRO WRESTLING ~HIKARI NO ROCK 2021~”, 07/11/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. YuuRI “Glamorous Valkyrie” Trial Single Match Round 2: YuuRI Vs Maya Yukihi
2. Ganjo Special Tag Match: Yuna Manase & Saki Akai Vs Yuu Yamagata & HARUKAZE

Just when things were looking at its bleakest for Yuna Manase, help has come from an unlikely face. Saki Akai wants to see the woman with a never say die attitude that she fought last month. So she is now helping Manase bring that fire back and finally get a win against Yuu Yamagata & HARUKAZE. Yamagata does not know who Akai is but welcomes her participation in the match.

Match 2 for YuuRI’s trial series is against another big name on the joshi scene, Maya Yukihi.

Moeka Haruhi will be on the show. Storyline wise she’s come across as the odd woman out on the Ganbare☆Joshi events so far.

GANBARE☆PRO “LEC CLEANPA! PRESENTS GANBARE☆CLIMAX 2021 2ND ROUND”, 07/11/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Ganpro Special Tag Match: Shota & Soma Takao Vs Keisuke Ishii & Nobuhiro Shimatani
2. Ganpro Special Single Match: Kenichiro Arai Vs Taison Maeguchi
3. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 2A: Tetsuhiro Kuroda Vs Ken Ohka
4. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 2D: Tatsuhito Takaiwa Vs Mizuki Watase
5. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 2C: Kouki Iwasaki Vs Shuichiro Katsumura
6. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 2B: Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Yumehito Imanari

The Ganbare☆Climax moves on to Round 2. Shinichiro Tominaga eliminating Keisuke Ishii was the big surprise in Round 1. Can he get a Cinderella run going by defeating the last tournament winner Yumehito Imanari? Meanwhile Tetsuhiro Kuroda and Mizuki Watase get their first matches in the bracket. Kuroda is seen as a god by Ken Ohka because he was nice to him back in Ohka’s rookie days. Watase is as motivated as he has ever been to go far and grab some success in the ring.

Soma Takao has been hanging around at Ganbare☆Pro recently to show support for the other wrestlers in his generation. After being by Shota’s side at the last show, Takao was invited to wrestle on a Ganpro show for the first time.

Also at the show will be Shinjiro Otani. He is now the on-site director for Ganpro.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’21”, 25/11/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh

The Magical Sugar Rabbits are handed a tough first defence. 121000000 are a united front in the aftermath to the “WRESTLE PRINCESS II” main event. I think. They’re bickering over whether or not Miyu Yamashita really cares about Maki Itoh. It’s the opposite to Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki. Those two with the Princess Tag Titles have in the past been the most unbeatable duo in TJPW. 121000000 need to get their heads together (perhaps literally) if they want to win the belts.

Yuki Arai will be on the show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 10/12/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Haruna Neko Vs Mahiro Kiryu
2. Pom Harajuku Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi
3. Hardcore Match: Hikari Noa Vs Nao Kakuta
4. MagiRabi Vs TropicaWild: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki Vs SAKI & Yuna Mizumori

The third “TJPW INSPIRATION” brings in TropicaWild from ChocoPro to face MagiRabi. Hikari Noa gets another Hardcore Match but this time it’s Nao Kakuta who is the newcomer to that style. Pom Harajuku is bringing in a more wacky atmosphere by taking on Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi. The opener is something more normal with Haruna Neko versus Mahiro Kiryu.

DDT “NEVER MIND 2021 IN YOYOGI”, 26/12/2021
Yoyogi National Stadium 2nd Gymnasium

1. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs X
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs X

The final KO-D Openweight Title and DDT Universal Title defences of 2021 will be held in Yoyogi.

Yuji Okabayashi and Bodyguard will be on the show.

GANBARE☆PRO “GANBARE☆CLIMAX 2021 1ST ROUND” Results

October 24, 2021

GANBARE☆PRO “LEC CLEANPA! PRESENTS GANBARE☆CLIMAX 2021 1ST ROUND”, 24/10/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
121 Fans

1. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 1: Yumehito Imanari defeated Baliyan Akki with the Lou Thesz Press (8:56).
2. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 1: Kouki Iwasaki defeated Nobuhiro Shimatani with a Back Drop Hold (11:40).
3. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 1: Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Seiya Morohashi with a Modified Haneorigatame (15:18).
4. Ganjo Special Tag Match: Yuna Manase & Moeka Haruhi defeated HARUKAZE & YuuRI when Manase pinned YuuRI with the Suzuki Dynamic (10:28).
5. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 1: Tatsuhito Takaiwa defeated Tyson Maeguchi with the Death Valley Bomb (7:50).
6. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 1: Ken Ohka defeated Shota with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (15:24).
7. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 1: Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Keisuke Ishii with a Cradle (2:31).

After three years away the Ganbare☆Climax is back with a bang. The tournament favourite has been eliminated in Round 1! Keisuke Ishii was unexpectedly Cradled by Shinichiro Tominaga two minutes into the match and was shockingly pinned for the three count. Tominaga’s celebration was cut short when an angry Ishii gave him the Double Arm DDT after the match. It shook up Tominaga so much that he thought he lost the match when he gave the show closing speech. When he shook it off and remembered he won, he then said he is now the top candidate to win the Ganbare☆Climax. He’s going to win the Spirit Of Ganbare Title and draw a thick, clear line on his somewhat vague wrestling career. That way he will be proud of being a pro wrestler, be popular with office ladies and get married four times!

Shota was accompanied by Soma Takao for his opening round match against Ken Ohka. After a back and forth match, Ohka kicked out of the Gannosuke Clutch and hit Shota with the Fire Spear for a nearfall. Ohka got the win in the end with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Takao helped bring Shota to the back afterwards. He explained that she showed up to support Shota because they are “classmates” from the same generation. Ohka moves on to face Tetsuhiro Kuroda in Round 2. Ohka was once a ringside attendant for Kuroda when he wrestled in DDT. He remembers accidentally stepping on Kuroda’s glasses and breaking them. Kuroda told him not to worry and forgave him. Ever since then Ohka has seen Kuroda like a god!

Recently retired kickboxer Tyson Maeguchi is trying his hand at pro wrestling as a representative of the Ibushi Wrestling Institute. He was ultimately overwhelmed by Tatsuhito Takaiwa, ending with the Death Valley Bomb. Takaiwa was pleased by Maeguchi’s performance, particularly the Dropkick he threw at him. The match was more about Takaiwa teaching Maeguchi in the ring. When Takaiwa started wrestling he learned it is about feelings, not technique because you cannot lose with feelings. He hopes to have gotten that lesson across to Maeguchi. Takaiwa moves on to the next round to fight Mizuki Watase.

Shuichiro Katsumura’s tournament got off to a good start by eliminating Seiya Morohashi. His grappling skills was too much for Morohashi to fight against and he was tangled into submission. After the match Katsumura got into a standoff with his 2nd Round opponent Kouki Iwasaki at ringside. Katsumura pushed him away and Iwasaki Headbutted him in response before things got broken up.

Iwasaki made it out of the 1st Round by beating Nobuhiro Shimatani in a DNA confrontation. Iwasaki cut down his oppoenent with High Kicks and pinned him with a Back Drop Hold. After winning the match, Iwasaki stuck around ringside to watch Katsumura Vs Morohashi which led to the post-match meeting with Katsumura.

The tournament kicked off with the last winner Yumehito Imanari winning against Baliyan Akki. He blocked the Namaste Press and scored the pin with a Lou Thesz Press. Imanari praised Akki for his performance but Akki gave him a Headbutt to take out his frustration at losing. He waited three and a half years to take part in the Ganbare☆Climax so getting eliminated in the very first match left him very upset.

The show began with an announcement that Shinjiro Otani is now the on-site director for Ganbare☆Pro! He still intends to wrestle again when his injuries are healed and had hoped to recover in time to enter the Ganbare☆Climax. Until then, this new role gives him a reason to continue working at Ganpro shows while he is out of action. His advice for the wrestlers entering the tournament is they need to be strong, passionate, hardworking and human to win. He wants the Ganbare☆Climax to cheer up everybody who sees it.
