CHOSHI ELECTRIC RAIL X DDT “TRAIN PRO WRESTLING”, 16/04/2017
Nakano Town Station

Falls Count Anywhere Time Difference Battle Royal: HARASHIMA Vs Sanshiro Takagi Vs Rekka Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X

A press conference was held on the track of Nakano Town Station today to announced the latest DDT Falls Count Anywhere Street Wrestling match. DDT in cooperation with Choshi Electric Rail will be hosting Train Pro Wrestling. A wrestling match will take place inside a small train travelling from Nakanomachi to Ogawa. But it’s not just any match, it will be a Falls Count Anywhere Battle Royal featuring around 10 wrestlers. Two wrestlers will begin the match inside the train when it begins its journey then another wrestler will enter at every stop.

The train being used is an old train that has been around for 50 years. It has recently been used for other entertainment experiments like haunted train trips. Due to how old the train is, the competing wrestlers have been warned that they will be disqualified if they break anything. A 5 count will be used to warn wrestlers if they are close to causing damage to the train. There are 40 seats on the train and tickets will be sold to fans wanting to attend the match for 5,000 yen.

Sanshiro Takagi, HARASHIMA and Rekka are the first three names announced to take part. This was an idea Takagi had wanted to do for a long time and thanks to Choshi Electric Rail it is finally a reality. He hopes to provide an intense match that is still safe for both the passengers and the train itself. He thinks it will be impossible for a wrestler to fall on the track so hopefully they won’t have to worry about that. He’s unsure if the train can handle Brainbusters though. Body Slams should be okay. HARASHIMA has wrestled on a train before so he has the experience advantage. For example, HARASHIMA knows how easy it is to lose balance while wrestling because the train shakes so often. Rekka is involved to promote a link between Choshi City and Taiwan that is currently being developed. The Choshi Rail president Katsuki Takemoto is happy to work with DDT although he doesn’t watch much wrestling because he dislikes seeing blood. He also hopes the idea will improve tourism in the area with fans coming from Tokyo to visit.

Strikes are encouraged but throws and joint submissions are also allowed. The match will be fought for an unlimited number of 3 minute rounds until a winner is decided.

Ganbare☆Wrestling held tryouts earlier this week to find new talent to add to its roster. The auditions involved workouts, interviews and skill demonstrations. At the end Ken Ohka asked all of the trainees to line up and slap him across the face. Some hesitated but everyone did what they were told. All nine people passed the auditions and were invited to train at Ganpuro with the goal of debuting for them in the future. The person who caught the most attention was a 21 year old woman wearing a hockey mask named Nanaka Kawamura. She wants to become a pro wrestler because it was her mother’s dream to be one. Her mother was high school champion but was too short to turn professional so Kawamura wants to fulfil that dream for her.

7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Masakatsu Funaki & Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Akito

DDT is considering lifting its ban of fan recordings at its live shows. A trial run will take place at the Nerima show. Fans in attendance will be allowed to record video as long as they film just the matches (no entrances because of music rights). Fans can only use phones (no tablets or cameras) that are held below eye level and nobody is allowed to deliberately film other people in the audience. Depending on results and feedback DDT will experiment with these rules as time goes on.

Soma Takao now finds himself as the hottest free agent in DDT. Units all around are falling over themselves to sign him so a 6 Way Match will determine where he goes. Whoever wins will have their unit recruit Soma. If Soma himself wins he gets to choose who to join, which is most likely Smile Squash. But T2Hide and NωA badly want him. That’s not all, Rekka wants Soma to be the ace of his home promotion New Taiwan Pro Wrestling. T2Hide promises to make him their leader. NωA want him because he has a higher singing voice that none of the other members have. Last but not least, Saki Akai wants Soma to sign with the Oscar Promotion talent agency. Akai calls Oscar the largest unit in the wrestling world.

Kotatsu was asked to comment on its Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title defence but it kept silent.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GIRLS FIGHT OUT #3”, 18/02/2017
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. “Back Bancho” Akane Miura Road To Graduation: Akane Miura Vs Maho Kurone
2. SIN Biishiki-gun Vs Konkatsu-gun: Saki-nami & Martha Vs Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko

Akane Miura announced today on her 20th birthday that she will be graduating from Tokyo Joshi Pro on 25th March. Miura was given an offer to go back to senior high school in April and she wishes to complete her education. She is unable to wrestle and concentrate on her studies at the same time so she had to make a decision. She had previously dropped out of high school but desired to return and thinks now is the perfect time in her life to do it. When she graduates in four years time she’ll consider returning to pro wrestling. She will continue to fight hard until her final match. Her next opponent is Maho Kurone who was upset to hear the news. One of the reasons Kurone came to Tokyo Joshi was to eat Miura. Now that Miura is leaving, Kurone promises she will only eat her hair and eyeballs.

There was even more sad news today. Azusa Takigawa and Nonoko were told to stop using issues of Zexy Magazine as a weapon in their matches. Zexy’s editorial department got in contact with Tokyo Joshi over the gimmick. While they appreciate having Konkatsu-gun as regular readers, they do not like their magazine being used as a weapon. Konsho-gun apologised to the editors and readers of the magazine and promised not to use Zexy for anything other than its intended purpose. They will refrain from using it as a weapon. Both Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko were crying their eyes out as they apologised. Zexy was their bible and now they feel like they just ended a relationship. The team is now in crisis. If they are no longer allowed to use marriage information magazines then can they still be called Konkatsu-gun (Marriage Army)?

A big main event is in store. Not just in physical size but in ego too. Naomi Yoshimura attended the match announcement wearing sunglasses and a fancy suit. He didn’t care about Akebono’s sumo accomplishments and ran down Kazusada Higuchi for losing to Mike Bailey and Ryota Nakatsu late last year. He threatened to blow away anyone who stands in his path. Higuchi was more polite. Being in the presence of Akebono is enough encouragement to withstand whatever Yuji Okabayashi throws at him. Akebono warned Yoshimura to respect him or be crushed.

Some new talent are being brought into Ganpuro to possibly freshen up the roster. Two names were announced for the “New Century Audition”. Shota Nakagawa is from AZUSA Project and Andromeda KEN is from Pro Wrestling ACE. KEN is also a dropout from the WRESTLE-1 school. Ohka wants more people to sign up, preferably people who like B’z so they can go do karaoke during the audition.
