TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2021 AUTUMN ~KACHO GETSURO~”, 23/11/2021
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall
150 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Yuka Sakazaki defeated Pom Harajuku with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (8:14).
2. 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Raku and Arisu Endo when Nakajima pinned Endo with the Northern Lights Suplex (7:39).
3. Hyper Misao & Miu Watanabe defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Watanabe pinned Kiryu with the Tear Drop (10:22).
4. Mizuki, Hikari Noa & Marika Kobashi defeated Nodoka Tenma, Nao Kakuta & Haruna Neko when Noa pinned Neko with the Blizzard Suplex (12:46).
5. Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Suzume defeated Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Aino & Moka Miyamoto when Itoh submitted Miyamoto with the Itoh Punish (17:02).

With two days to go until the Korakuen Hall show, 121000000 are ready to beat The Magical Sugar Rabbits and win the Princess Tag Team Titles. If they do win, Maki Itoh promises to bring Miyu Yamashita somewhere to celebrate. She also joked that Suzume is cuter than Yamashita which crushed Yamashita’s spirits.

Some mind games are being played between Yuki Kamifuku and Hyper Misao. Kamifuku knows that Misao hates dance music so she made the sound team play loud club songs over the speakers. Luckily for Misao, Miu Watanabe quickly made her way over to the music guy and politely asked him to turn it down. She also got the pin on Mahiro Kiryu so the result gives Misao an edge over Kamifuku for their Korakuen Hall singles match.

Pom Harajuku came up with a cunning plan for her 3rd Anniversary match. She entered the ring wearing a referee uniform identical to Daisuke Kiso. She then put on a cardboard mask of Kiso’s face and forced Kiso to wear a costume of herself. Yuka Sakazaki came out and thought Kiso was Harajuku so she wrestled him while Harajuku was disguised as the ref until it was time to ambush her opponent. While the plan did work, the time came for Harajuku to fight Sakazaki fairly and Sakazaki won out in the end.

Ganbare☆Climax Finals Tomorrow, BASARA Anniversaries, D-Ou Final Is Set

November 22, 2021

GANBARE☆PRO “LEC CLEANPA! PRESENTS GANBARE☆CLIMAX 2021 FINAL ROUND”, 23/11/2021
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall

1. LEC Cleanpa! Presents Ganbare☆Climax 2021 Semi-Final: Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Tatsuhito Takaiwa
2. LEC Cleanpa! Presents Ganbare☆Climax 2021 Semi-Final: Yumehito Imanari Vs Tetsuhiro Kuroda
3. Ganpro Special Mixed 6-Man Tag Match: Yuna Manase, YuuRI & Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Moeka Haruhi, HARUKAZE & Baliyan Akki
4. LEC Cleanpa! Presents Ganbare☆Climax 2021 Special Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Taison Maeguchi Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga
5. Wakadori Vs DNA! Ganpro Special Tag Match: Shota & Soma Takao Vs Kouki Iwasaki Vs Mizuki Watase
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title – LEC Cleanpa! Presents Ganbare☆Climax 2021 Final: X Vs X

We already saw what Shuichiro Katsumura and Yumehito Imanari have been doing to prepare for the Ganbare☆Climax finals. This week the outsiders Tetsuhiro Kuroda and Tatsuhito Takaiwa were interviewed about their thoughts over the tournament. Kuroda was so impressed by Ken Ohka taking so many Lariats in their match that he wants him to be his first challenger if he becomes the first Spirit Of Ganbare Champion. He understands that Imanari is growing stronger but Kuroda has been wrestling for 29 years now. He wants to win because he can.

Takaiwa has mixed opinions on his tournament matches so far. Taison Maeguchi is a complete novice in pro wrestling so Takaiwa only cared about bringing out his feelings in the ring. The match against Mizuki Watase however felt more like pro wrestling. Both matches warmed Takaiwa’s heart in some way. He will be cautious against Katsumura but believes he has the heart to win the tournament. If he wins the Spirit Of Ganbare Title then he will have a Triple Crown of indie titles made up of that, the UWA World Jr. Title and the WEW Jr. Title. Takaiwa was also the first ever IWGP Jr. Tag Team Champion with Shinjiro Otani. Since Otani has a relationship with Ganbare☆Pro that means Takaiwa has no choice but to become the first Spirit Of Ganbare Champion!

DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2021 II THE FINAL”, 05/12/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida Vs Hideki Okatani & Yuya Koroku
0. Dark Match: Yusuke Okada Vs Mizuki Watase
1. Toru Owashi, Antonio Honda & Kazuki Hirata Vs Akito, Saki Akai & Toui Kojima
2. Special Single Match: Masahiro Takanashi Vs Shunma Katsumata
3. 3 Vs 1 Handicap Match: Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari Vs Sanshiro Takagi

5. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Soma Takao
6. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – Final: Yuki Ueno Vs Konosuke Takeshita

The final is all about The 37KAMIINA. High school classmates Yuki Ueno and Konosuke Takeshita both won their blocks and have a big clash set for Korakuen Hall. Takeshita is unbeaten in this tournament while holding the KO-D Openweight Title. Ueno has climbed tooth and nail past a very difficult cast of opponents to meet his friend up at the top.

Daisuke Sasaki revealed that around ten years ago, Soma Takao made him eat dog food. He didn’t give much detail as to why it happened but the humiliation never left him. All this time they were together in DAMNATION and Sasaki let his anger over it linger. Apparently this was all part of a very long term plan. Sasaki brought Takao into DAMNATION just so he could eventually attack him from behind and make him eat dog food!

All of the D-Ou Grand Prix participants who failed to make the final are in a big 10-Man Tag Match. It’s the A Block Vs the B Block!

Two weeks before their Current Blast Death Match, Pheromones get Sanshiro Takagi all to themselves in a Handicap Match. Takagi has to have a trick up his sleeve otherwise why would he end up in a situation like this?

DDT “NEVER MIND 2021 TOUR IN SHINJUKU”, 12/12/2021
Shinjuku FACE

1. DDT Extreme Title – No Seconds Rule: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari

The DDT GM Hisaya Imabayashi has accused Yumehito Imanari as being the root of all evil behind the existence of Pheromones. He is calling in Shinya Aoki to deal with Imanari and get rid of him. Aoki also decided to put the DDT Extreme Title on the line and used his power as champion to ban all ringside attendants. That means Pheromones cannot be in Imanari’s corner. Imanari promised the match will still be indecent and he can’t wait for Aoki to experience it.

DDT “DRAMATIC EXPLOSION 2021”, 18/12/2021
Nagoya Congress Center Event Hall

1. Hardcore Match: Shunma Katsumata Vs Hyper Misao
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Susumu Yokosuka, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Akito
3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles – Current Blast Death Match: Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari (c) Vs Atsushi Onita, Sanshiro Takagi & Kuro-chan

Hyper Misao felt left out when Shunma Katsumata didn’t include her in yesterday’s Hardcore Dark Match. She also wants revenge for The 37KAMIINA humiliating her at the Tokyo Dome last month. The solution is to challenge Katsumata to a Hardcore Match!

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

0. Dark Match – DDTeeeen!! Special Single Match: Ilusion Vs Vent Vert Jack
1. Special Single Match: Shuji Kondo Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs X
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs X

Two birthday gifts were given to Kazuki Hirata for next month’s big show in Nagoya. He is confused about both. He doesn’t understand why he is getting a match against Shuji Kondo because they never wrestled before despite being connected via DRAGONGATE. Hirata also doesn’t know why bringing in Maku Donaruto is a present for him.

6. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – A Block: Yuki Ueno (6) defeated Tetsuya Endo (6) with the WR (21:21).

A Block

1. Yuki Ueno (6)
-. Tetsuya Endo (6)
-. Yuji Hino (6)
-. Jun Akiyama (6)
5. Bodyguard (4)
6. Naomi Yoshimura (2)

B Block

1. Konosuke Takeshita (9)
-. Yuji Okabayashi (8)
3. Kazusada Higuchi (4)
-. Chris Brookes (4)
-. MAO (4)
6. HARASHIMA (1)

The D-Ou Grand Prix final comes down to two classmates from the same stable. All week Tetsuya Endo talked lightly about Yuki Ueno, thinking a victory over him was certain. Instead Ueno had other plans and he blocked the Shooting Star Press with his knees. The Dropkick to the face hit its mark but Endo fired back with one of his own. Ueno also stood firm and hit another Dropkick before putting Endo in the WR for the big win. The A Block finished with four wrestlers all tied in first but the Head To Head results ultimately determined Ueno as the winner advancing to the final! He would agree that this is a great achievement that’s worth praise. Endo on the other hand now feels he has nowhere to go. He isn’t going back to DAMNATION T.A because he doesn’t want anything to do with the guy in charge of that ever again. In 2022 he will go on a journey to become a new Tetsuya Endo!

Over in the B Block there was no tiebreaker needed for first place. Konosuke Takeshita completes the group stage undefeated with a successful blitz on Kazusada Higuchi. The two wasted no time and went throwing big bombs at each other. Takeshita threw out the Zahi knee strike and brought back the Surprise Rose to win in quick fashion. That is a move Takeshita has purposely held back from using because it is dangerous for him to do. But Higuchi is an opponent he felt he needed to use it against. Higuchi called the match a disappointing result but one he will take as a lesson for the future.

So now finally Ueno gets to stand face to face against Takeshita again. He’s seen his friend wrestle ever since they were in high school and that lead to Ueno falling in love with DDT. Ueno has gotten strong over the last five years and he’ll do his best to beat Takeshita in the final on 5th December. Takeshita is happy that Ueno will be his opponent for a Korakuen Hall main event. He encourages Ueno to try and go beyond him because they will have a match that only they can put together.

For Yuji Okabayashi it was a case of so close yet so far. He also went through the entire tournament undefeated but two draws keep him away from reaching the final. The time limit stalemate here gives HARASHIMA a little bit of redemption. All throughout the grand prix he’s been telling people he is in great shape despite a horrible run of defeat after defeat. Being able to fight Okabayashi for 30 minutes without losing is proof he can still go and he is confident he can do better. He wants to keep looking forward, aiming higher and win again. Okabayashi feels HARASHIMA’s love for DDT. It is that persistence that prevented the Big Japan wrestler from getting his rematch with Takeshita. Speaking of that, Okabayashi is now rooting for Takeshita to win the final. If he loses, Okabayashi will come back to kill him!

Jun Akiyama did what he could do to catch up but his win over Bodyguard wasn’t enough to push him over the line. Akiyama blocked the Rising High Kick, hit the Kneelift and then another one with his exposed knee. That only got a one count. Akiyama then threw Bodyguard over with the Exploder but that got a two count. Akiyama had to hit more Running Knee Lifts and then use the Wrist-Clutch Exploder to finally put Bodyguard away. Bodyguard was impressed by Akiyama’s strength and thinks he is moving faster than he was back in All Japan. If DDT wants to invite him back, he will work harder, rebuild his body and compete again.

Oh no, what did Pheromones do this time? Danshoku Dieno & Yuki Iino used their skills to put Yuji Hino, MAO & Yukio Naya all in compromising positions. When Yumehito Imanari grabbed his camera and began to film them, Hisaya Imabayashi ordered the match to be called off. Imabayashi singled out Imanari to blame this time and called him the root of all evil. The GM knows just who to call to come over and destroy him. It’s Shinya Aoki!

A video played of Aoki nominating Imanari as the next DDT Extreme Title challenger and the stipulation is no seconds are allowed at ringside. The match will go ahead in Shinjuku FACE on 12th December. Imanari noticed that when Aoki says the word indie it sounds like he is saying indecent. The press may misreport that the match will be lewd because of that. So Imanari promised that even without his friends at ringside, the match is going to get lewd!

The grudge between Daisuke Sasaki and Soma Takao got even dirtier when they attacked each other after the opening match. With Mizuki Watase already beaten, MJ Paul grabbed onto Takao and held him down. Sasaki then brought out a bag of dog food and claimed he kept this for over ten years. “I’ll never forget the dog food you made me eat!” he shouted. Sasaki attempted to force feed Takao but he punched back and shoved the food into Sasaki’s mouth. Takao then declared he will win the DDT Universal Title from him on 5th December.

The rookies got to experience Hardcore wrestling for the first time thanks to Shunma Katsumata. He invited Toui Kojima, Hideki Okatani and Yuya Koroku to go wild with weapons such as block toys, barbed wire bats, clothing pins, chairs, ladders, pop crackers and more. Okatani tried to put Kojima through a table with the Double Arm Suplex but the table didn’t break. Okatani smashed him through the table the second time. Katsumata covered Koroku in an Acupressure Foot Mat and pinned him with the Totonoe Splash. The rookies all agreed the match was painful but fun.

After the contest was over, Katsumata apologised for making a mess during the dark match. Then suddenly Hyper Misao entered the ring carrying a sign and attacked him with it. She is angry with him for a bunch of reasons. First, The 37KAMIINA humiliated her at the Tokyo Dome during the Rojo Pro Wrestling match held there. And second, Misao is upset she wasn’t invited to be in the Hardcore Match today. She demanded a Hardcore Match against Katsumata and it will happen on 18th December in Nagoya. Katsumata questioned if it is heroic to attack someone from behind and if Misao really is a hero? Misao said this is the way of a hero and she will end his hardcore life!

The very first match of the day was eventful before it even begun. Akito pinned Toru Owashi during his in-ring introduction to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Owashi, Kazuki Hirata and Antonio Honda then chased after Akito while the match went ahead. Yuki Ishida used his power to knock over opponents but Yusuke Okada soon stopped his momentum. Naomi Yoshimura threw everyone around. Saki Akai went wild against Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi. The Iron Man chase returned to the ring and Honda revealed that today is Hirata’s birthday! He sang him a birthday song but Hirata cut him off with a Cradle for a nearfall. CDK grabbed Hirata and used a Super Kick/Praying Mantis Bomb combo to put him away.

The show began with the D-Ou Grand Prix chairman Kenta Kobashi greeting the audience and declaring the opening of the final day. Endo could be heard cheering his announcement from the locker room.

Since today is Hirata’s birthday and there were two special announcements for him. On 26th December in Yoyogi, Maku Donaruto will be on the show. Also on the show Hirata is getting a big singles match against Shuji Kondo! Hirata was surprised by the second announcement and promised to do his best. He doesn’t even know Kondo despite their Kobe connection. He also wants Kondo to go easy on him.

The second DDTeeeen!! show will be held at Itabashi Green Hall on 5th January. Ilusion and El Unicorn both promoted the event at the start of the show.

In 2022 DDT will be hosting a “0 Yen Free Show” once a month for the entire year. The first one will take place in Shinjuku FACE on 7th January.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “IT’S TIME TO GO” Results

November 20, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “IT’S TIME TO GO”, 20/11/2021
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
202 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yuki Aino defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Venus DDT (8:15).
2. 3 Way Match: Marika Kobashi defeated Pom Harajuku and Mahiro Kiryu when Kobashi pinned Harajuku with the Run-Up Bulldog Headlock (8:00).
3. Hyper Misao defeated Arisu Endo with the Hypami Returns (8:02).
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Raku defeated Suzume & Haruna Neko when Kamifuku pinned Neko with the Famouser (9:36).
5. Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh, Nodoka Tenma, Miu Watanabe & Yuki Arai defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Hikari Noa, Shoko Nakajima & Rika Tatsumi when Tenma pinned Nakajima with the Killswitch (26:51).

Several of the big matches for next week’s Korakuen Hall show crossed together in the 10-Woman Tag Match. After a long fight mixing together the different pairings, Shoko Nakajima made the crucial mistake of missing the Diving Senton. That allowed Nodoka Tenma to pin her with the Killswitch. After the match Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh both spoke of their intentions to win the Princess Tag Team Titles from The Magical Sugar Rabbits. Yamashita said she was only focused on fighting Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki today. Miu Watanabe vowed to beat Hikari Noa for the International Princess Title. Tenma & Yuki Arai also laid down their claims to beat Nakajima & Rika Tatsumi in their respective singles matches at Korakuen.

We finally got an admission of guilt from Hyper Misao. She is a superhero who cheats! She promised to fight Arisu Endo fair and square because she was confident she would not be outmatched against her. That lasted for about five minutes. Misao lost ground to Endo and pulled out her spray can but Endo grabbed it and sprayed her instead. However Misao was still able to recover and win in the end.

Pom Harajuku spent most of the 3 Way Match carrying an expensive high grade camera. She insisted taking pictures of Marika Kobashi and Mahiro Kiryu as if it was just those two against each other. Kobashi was happy to pose for her while Kiryu was confused. Harajuku tried her best to protect the camera but doing so cost her the match with Kobashi getting the win over her.

Earlier today Mizuki, Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh signed the contract for their Princess Tag Team Titles match on 25th November. Yuka Sakazaki was absent from the press conference so Mizuki signed the contract under her name on her behalf. 121000000 were unhappy that Mizuki was allowed to do that but the contract is deemed valid anyway.

DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2021 II IN KORAKUEN HALL”, 21/11/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi, Antonio Honda, Akito & Yusuke Okada Vs Toru Owashi, Naomi Yoshimura, Kazuki Hirata, Saki Akai & Yuki Ishida
0. Dark Match Shunma Katsumata Produce – My First Hardcore Match: Shunma Katsumata & Toui Kojima Vs Hideki Okatani & Yuya Koroku
1. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Soma Takao & Mizuki Watase
2. Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari Vs Yuji Hino, MAO & Yukio Naya
3. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – A Block: Jun Akiyama (4) Vs Bodyguard (4)
4. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – B Block: HARASHIMA (0) Vs Yuji Okabayashi (7)
5. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – B Block: Konosuke Takeshita (7) Vs Kazusada Higuchi (4)
6. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – A Block: Tetsuya Endo (6) Vs Yuki Ueno (4)

On an interview with Yahoo Japan today, Tetsuya Endo talked about the potential D-Ou Grand Prix final. He is confident he will beat Yuki Ueno because Ueno has already fought all of the biggest opponents in their block and is damaged coming into this match. However Endo is not going to let his guard down and is aiming for the win. He can qualify for the final with a draw but Endo wants to win. He doesn’t like either Konosuke Takeshita or Yuji Okabayashi but would rather face Takeshita in the final to make it clear he is better than him.

Endo wants to end 2021 on a high note because he has a big plan for 2022. He wants to launch his own unit! Endo has been part of Happy Motels and DAMNATION but has never been a true leader of his own stable. He had a one off trial run with Pheromones at the Tokyo Dome but it wasn’t for him (he was happy showing off his butt though). Instead, Endo has his own ideas. He is temporarily naming this unit Atsumare Entetsu no Mori and as an insect lover he wants the logo to look like a beetle. The potential unit will have three ironclad rules: 1) Do not gamble or play pachinko. 2) Do not drink every day. 3) Aim to get married. Endo already lives by these rules and think they give him a fulfilling lifestyle. He has begun looking for candidates to join his new group.

GANBARE☆PRO “LEC CLEANPA! PRESENTS GANBARE☆CLIMAX 2021 FINAL ROUND”, 23/11/2021
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall

1. Wakadori Vs DNA! Ganpro Special Tag Match: Shota & Soma Takao Vs Kouki Iwasaki Vs Mizuki Watase
2. LEC Cleanpa! Presents Ganbare☆Climax 2021 Special Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Taison Maeguchi Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga
3. Ganpro Special Mixed 6-Man Tag Match: Yuna Manase, YuuRI & Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Moeka Haruhi, HARUKAZE & Baliyan Akki
4. LEC Cleanpa! Presents Ganbare☆Climax 2021 Semi-Final: Yumehito Imanari Vs Tetsuhiro Kuroda
5. LEC Cleanpa! Presents Ganbare☆Climax 2021 Semi-Final: Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Tatsuhito Takaiwa
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title – LEC Cleanpa! Presents Ganbare☆Climax 2021 Final: X Vs X

The Ganbare☆Pro regulars still left in the Ganbare☆Climax have been hard at training for the final rounds. Shuichiro Katsumura held a practice session with Ken Ohka and Minoru Fujita to work out how to beat Tatsuhito Takaiwa. He figured Fujita knows him well and would be a good instructor. Unfortunately Fujita came to practice in a bad mood because he spilled coffee over his hoodie on the train ride over. Also Ohka isn’t able to copy Takaiwa’s moveset so Katsumura easily countering all of his attacks doesn’t mean much. An angry Fujita told Katsumura that Takaiwa won’t be that easy and he cannot take him lightly. Katsumura left the training disappointed that he didn’t come out of it with a proper gameplan.

Meanwhile Yumehito Imanari spent his training learning how to resist the Lariat. Tetsuhiro Kuroda used that move loads of times to beat Ohka in the previous round. He called up Miss Mongol with the logic that learning from an FMW wrestler will help him beat another FMW wrestler. Mongol’s husband Akinaga Toyomoto attended the training as an observer. Imanari endured dozens of Lariats until Toyomoto pointed out that Mongol was using her right arm. The training might not be very helpful because Kuroda Lariats with his left arm. Mongol said it doesn’t matter because Imanari is being infused with the souls of FMW. If Imanari makes it to the final, he promises to fight even if his stamina is gone. He is determined to become the first Spirit Of Ganbare Champion!

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

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Nodoka Tenma
2. Hyper Misao Vs Yuki Kamifuku
3. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Nao Kakuta, Haruna Neko & Mahiro Kiryu
4. Marika Kobashi & Moka Miyamoto Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
5. Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuki Arai
6. International Princess Title: Hikari Noa (c) Vs Miu Watanabe
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh

121000000 understand the big task ahead of them. The Magical Sugar Rabbits have been champions twice and hold the record for most title defences. Yamashita thinks her bond with Itoh is strong enough to help them win. Itoh is skeptical and made Yamashita declare her love for her to prove she really wants to win the tag titles. Yamashita also wants to avenge her loss to Mizuki at the Tokyo Princess Cup and is hoping the match comes down to them against each other one on one. Mizuki likes her because it is the easiest to fight with. She also knows full well how strong Itoh has become. But she thinks their flippant bond isn’t enough to beat her and Sakazaki.

Although they trained and debuted together at the same time, Hikari Noa and Miu Watanabe came from different roads. Before they became wrestlers Noa always loved pro wrestling while Watanabe didn’t know a thing about it. Watanabe says it is because of Noa that she worked hard and earned success in Tokyo Joshi Pro. Little by little she is turning her efforts into confidence. Noa said they are aiming for the same place but following their own paths. She will achieve the record for most International Princess Title defences if she wins.

Yuki Arai has her first singles match in a long time which makes her nervous (she’s only had three singles bouts so far). She wants to show her growth against a strong senior like Rika Tatsumi. It’s a big deal, even Tatsumi will tell you that. She believes pro wrestling is a projection of her life and she has changed a lot of people’s lives. Her examples include preventing Hyper Misao from retiring and inspiring Suzume to become a wrestler. She wants this match to be a big bang that will change Arai’s life! How Arai will change is up to her. Tatsumi is just the spark in this situation.

Team Saiyuki – Akito, Daisuke Sekimoto & Jun Kasai
Ikemen’s – Soma Takao, Yuya Aoki & Shuji Ishikawa
I Dream Of Twins, Lizards And Naomi – Naomi Yoshimura, Kota Sekifuda & Brahman Kei (w/ Brahman Shu)
Three Brothers Kawaii – Chris Brookes, Takuya Nomura & X
I’ll Do It!! – Kazusada Higuchi, Ryuji Ito & Shiro Koshinaka
Deadlifters – Konosuke Takeshita, Yuji Okabayashi & Kuishinbo Kamen
Ugo Association – MAO, Yasufumi Nakanoue & Shigehiro Irie
LEFTOVERS – HARASHIMA, Daichi Hashimoto & Kengo Mashimo

A draw was held to determine the eight teams competing in the trios tournament. Each trio also came up with team names for themselves. The most notable team is Konosuke Takeshita, Yuji Okabayashi & Kuishinbo Kamen. They are calling themselves Deadlifters because they claim that is what they all have in common. Takeshita can deadlift 250kg, Okabayashi can lift 300kg and Kamen they guess can probably lift 50kg. Also Takeshita and Okabayashi are currently neck and neck fighting for a spot in the D-Ou Grand Prix final. Kamen is counting on his partners to win the matches without him getting involved.

There are some powerful teams put together. Maybe the strongest was formed entirely out of luck. HARASHIMA, Daichi Hashimoto & Kengo Mashimo were all the last ones left in their pools so they came up with LEFTOVERS as their team name. Mashimo is happy with who he ended up with so he doesn’t care about being picked last.

Akito feels indebted to Daisuke Sekimoto & Jun Kasai because early in his career he worked with Big Japan (he was trained by BJW wrestler Hakaru Imai) and they were his seniors.

The annual NTV new year’s comedy show has been cancelled so Shuji Ishikawa now has time to concentrate on the tournament. Soma Takao is looking forward to teaming with him again. Yuya Aoki thinks all three of them have nothing in common. He believes they can have something in common by becoming tournament winners together.

One team is a reunion of sorts. Naomi Yoshimura and Brahman Kei were on the same team for the 2019 tournament but Brahman Shu was absent with the flu. Now the three of them are together with Kota Sekifuda as the missing piece of the puzzle. They used the song “I Dream Of Naomi” for their entrance in 2019 and Kei wants to reference that again. That is why their team is called I Dream Of Twins, Lizards And Naomi.

Chris Brookes and Takuya Nomura were opponents at the tournament two years ago. There is no heat between them, instead they both think they are cute. The third member of their team is the mystery wrestler and they are sure that wrestler is cute too. Therefore they are Three Brothers Kawaii!

Having the legendary Shiro Koshinaka on their team will encourage Kazusada Higuchi & Ryuji Ito to Hip Attack their way to victory. Higuchi is honoured to team with the two veterans. Ito thinks the team has other specialties but they should win the tournament with the Hip Attack.

There is another team with nothing in common and even worse, none of the members can find anything positive about that. MAO and Shigehiro Irie never got along. MAO describes their relationship as a Cold War that Yasufumi Nakanoue is now in the middle in as a neutral party. He hopes nothing gets bad enough for Nakanoue to press the nuclear button. All Nakanoue can promise is that the team will make things work.

There will be two non-tournament matches also happening on the show.
