Dump Truck Load Of Non-Tournament Matches

November 11, 2020

There’s a whole bunch of non-tournament matches added to the D-Ou Grand Prix shows. Not much context to them so I’m putting them in their own update.

Sunday’s DDT TV SHOW Card

November 5, 2020

DDT “DDT TV SHOW! #11”, 08/11/2020
DDT TV SHOW Studio

1. Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata Vs HARASHIMA & Keigo Nakamura
2. Playfulness Series Act 2: Danshoku Dieno Vs Yukio Naya
3. DAMNATION Vs Junretsu: Tetsuya Endo, Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Mad Paulie Vs Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi, Mizuki Watase & Hideki Okatani
4. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs MAO
5. O-40 Title: Gorgeous Matsuno (c) Vs Toru Owashi

The next episode of DDT TV SHOW will be on Sunday this week because “WRESTLE PRINCESS” is happening on Saturday.

DAMNATION is one big happy family again. Daisuke Sasaki is back in the group but according to Tetsuya Endo he has been relegated to signboard holder status. Jun Akiyama is moving on from his feud with Konosuke Takeshita in order to experience the rest that DDT has to offer. He has a few DAMNATION opponents in his D-Ou Grand Prix block so he’s getting a taste of what to expect from them here.

Sanshiro Takagi will not be on the show because his DDT Extreme Title defences will be exclusive to DDT’s Youtube channel, whenever they happen. He will also only defend the title in Street Wrestling matches. The first wrestler to send him a challenge is Rambo Kawamura, formerly known as Rocky Kawamura or Ryo Kawamura whenever he isn’t impersonating his favorite Sylvester Stallone movies. Takagi is impressed enough with Kawamura’s initiative to send him to the top of his list of potential challengers.

D-Ou Grand Prix 2021

November 4, 2020

The 14 entries for D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 have been revealed. This year’s tournament will last for eight shows. The field is split into two blocks of seven wrestlers and the winner of each block advances to the final. 2 points for a win, 1 points for a draw and 0 points for a loss.

That means no direct confrontation rule for the tiebreaker this year.

Endo Apologizes, MAO’s Ambassador Hopes, Young Communication Revival, Kawasaki Strong

November 4, 2020

A press conference was held today reacting to the aftermath of “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”. It began with Tetsuya Endo apologizing to anyone who was offended by Shuji Ishikawa’s singing at the end of the show. Endo then explained his treatment of Daisuke Sasaki over the last couple of weeks including banishing him from DAMNATION was all done to guarantee he would get the most serious match out of him. He doesn’t hate him and it’s all water under the bridge now. Finally, Endo announced that Nobuhiro Shimatani has been promoted from a temporary DAMNATION member to an official full time member. Sasaki has been asked to hold the signboard from now on.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS”, 07/11/2020
Tokyo Dome City Hall

1. Suzume & Sena Shiori Vs Moka Miyamoto & Mei Suruga
2. Marika Kobashi & Haruna Neko Vs Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu
3. International Princess Title Tournament – Semi Final: Hikari Noa Vs Mirai Maiumi
4. International Princess Title Tournament – Semi Final: Shoko Nakajima Vs Yuki Kamifuku
5. Raku Vs Yuna Manase
6. WP Switch Random Rules Match: Hyper Misao Vs Saki Akai
7. Miyu Yamashita & Aja Kong Vs Maki Itoh & Sareee
8. International Princess Title Tournament – Final: X Vs X
9. Princess Tag Team Titles: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino
10. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Mizuki

I’ll have a preview posted either tomorrow or Friday.

The rules of the WP Switch Random Rules Match will be explained on the day of the show.

DDT “DDT TV SHOW! #11”, 08/11/2020
DDT TV SHOW Studio

1. O-40 Title: Gorgeous Matsuno (c) Vs Toru Owashi
2. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs MAO

He’s been gone for over four months but MAO thinks he is already good enough to get a title shot after one match back. He hopes if he wins the DDT UNIVERSAL Title he can show the belt off to the mayor of Osaki and become an ambassador for his hometown just like Endo became one for Shiroishi. Yuki Ueno is looking forward to defending the title against another DNA wrestler. Ueno was only part of that brand for a year or two before it was suspended so he didn’t get to wrestle MAO as much over there. That MAO approached him to make the challenge makes Ueno happy.

DDT “DDT TV SHOW! #12”, 14/11/2020
DDT TV SHOW Studio

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai (c) Vs Akito, Kazuki Hirata & Shota

Long before DNA there was another brand associated with DDT that was dedicated to giving the young wrestlers ring time. Monthly Young Communication existed a decade ago where the likes of Akito, Kazuki Hirata and Shota got to wrestle with each other. This was long before any member of Eruption joined DDT so the reemergence of this brand to challenge them for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles surprised them. But they said they will take on any trio who wants to take them on so the titles are on the line.

DDT “KAWASAKI STRONG 2021”, 14/02/2021
Culttz Kawasaki

1. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs X

Normally DDT holds two major shows a year in venues such as Sumo Hall or Ota Ward Gymnasium. The Coronavirus pandemic has forced them to reconsider the schedule and attempt more shows in bigger venues. It’s hard to say if Sumo Hall will be available for DDT in 2021 because of the rescheduled Olympic Games. It has also been difficult for DDT to find a venue that will allow 1,000+ fans to attend their show. Also there are cities in Japan where the population are staying put rather than travelling to Tokyo for their entertainment. So DDT are attempting to hold a major show outside of Tokyo, choosing the Culttz Kawasaki venue in Kawasaki as their spot. For now the only match attached to the card is a KO-D Openweight Title defence. It’s not confirmed yet if the D-Ou Grand Prix winner will be the challenger but that’s usually how it goes.

An extra match will take place after the show with the participants determined by a fan lottery. Isami Kodaka, Fuminori Abe, Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino and Tetsuo Usui are the options included.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS”, 07/11/2020
Tokyo Dome City Hall

1. Suzume & Sena Shiori Vs Moka Miyamoto & Mei Suruga
2. Marika Kobashi & Haruna Neko Vs Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu
3. Raku Vs Yuna Manase

9. Princess Tag Team Titles: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino
10. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Mizuki

The mystery partners have been revealed. Miyu Yamashita is tagging with Aja Kong while Sareee returns to Tokyo Joshi Pro to be on Maki Itoh’s team. Kong has had several confrontations with Itoh in the pas but Itoh said her only focus is to beat Yamashita. Sareee was on the 4th January show then signed with WWE a month later. She’s been unable to leave Japan because of the Coronavirus so she got permission to continue wrestling in her home country until she is safely able to report to the WWE Performance Centre. In fact her company affiliation in this match is WWE Count Down. This is to show she is not yet fully a part of WWE but she is not freelance either.

Mizuki has named her new Spinning Cross Body move the Whirling Candy.

DDT “DAMNATION ILLEGAL ASSEMBLY RETURNS VOL. 2 ~DAISUKE SASAKI 15TH ANNIVERSARY SP~”, 12/11/2020

2. Daisuke Sasaki 15th Anniversary Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei
3. Daisuke Sasaki 15th Anniversary Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa Vs Yuko Miyamoto & Daisuke Sekimoto

Daisuke Sasaki isn’t the only one celebrating a 15th anniversary this year. The Brahman Brothers are now in their 15th year of using their disgusting cult gimmicks so they get to celebrate alongside Sasaki in a Handicap Match.

Tsutomu Oosugi, Yusuke Kubo and Yasutaka Oosera will be on the show.

DDT “DRAMATIC LOVE FOR FUJI! 2020”, 15/11/2020
Shizuoka Fuji-san Messe

1. ALL OUT Vs DAMNATION!: Konosuke Takeshita & Akito Vs Soma Takao & Mad Paulie

There are only a few days a year where Makoto Oishi gets to be the star of the show. He and Junretsu will be wrestling in front of his hometown fans.

Only BASARA This Week, Yoshimura Taking Time Off Soon, Owashi’s Forced Title Shot

October 26, 2020

BASARA “BASARA 137 ~GLITTER~”, 27/10/2020
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Takato Nakano Vs Tetsuo Usui
2. Gouma Ryu Vs Minoru Fujita
3. Fuminori Abe, Yasu Urano & Leo Isaka Vs Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine & Daiki Shimomura
4. Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT Vs FUMA & Yusuke Kubo
5. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Decision Match: Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Masato Kamino
6. IRON FIST TAG Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato

The only wrestling events going on until “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020” and “WRESTLE PRINCESS” that this site is concerned with are the next two BASARA shows.

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”, 03/11/2020
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

0. Under Match: Keigo Nakamura Vs Hideki Okatani
0. Under Match: Hiroshi Yamato & Hoshitango Vs Mizuki Watase & Yukio Naya
1. MAO Return Battle: MAO Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. Danshoku Dieno Vs Akito
3. 4 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai Vs Toru Owashi, Naomi Yoshimura & Kazuki Hirata Vs Mad Paulie, El Lindaman & Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Super Sasadango Machine, Makoto Oishi & Antonio Honda
4. DDT Extreme Title – Yanekabe Presents Weapon Rumble: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi
5. Special Tag Match – HarashiMarafuji Vs CimaSoma: HARASHIMA & Naomichi Marufuji Vs CIMA & Soma Takao
6. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Yuki Ueno
7. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Konosuke Takeshita
8. KO-D Openweight Title – BLACK OUT Presents: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki

The winner of the main event will receive 2,000,000 yen and a year’s worth of BLACK OUT energy drink. Daisuke Sasaki is still being serious when he says he will retire if he loses. He and Tetsuya Endo got into another fight during the press conference. Suits were ripped during this.

Naomi Yoshimura will be taking a break from wrestling after “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020” to recover from his cervical injuries. He has been working through back pain all this time since his return last year. Yoshimura promises to be in perfect condition and will be even bigger in size when he returns. His goal when he is back in the ring is to beat Konosuke Takeshita, Kasusada Higuchi and Yuki Ueno. His absence for now means the end of the Nautilus team with Ueno.

Ueno is getting more grief from Chris Brookes now that Nautilus is taking a break from each other. Brookes handed him a bouquet of flowers for losing the KO-D Tag Team Titles yesterday. Brookes handed it over while acting like somebody died. Ueno whacked Brookes over his head with the flowers.

DDT isn’t sure what to do with Shinya Aoki’s sudden decision to cancel the DDT Extreme Title match. Sanshiro Takagi thinks it is a negotiation tactic of some sort and is determined to make the match happen instead of winning the title by forfeit. If Aoki wants to drop the Weapon Rumble stipulation then Takagi will consider it but there is nothing out there to suggest why Aoki doesn’t want the match to happen. He wonders if Aoki refuses to sign the match contract because it reminds him of when he signed his marriage registration and also when he signed his divorce registration.

DDT “DDT TV SHOW! #11”, 08/11/2020
DDT TV SHOW Studio

1. O-40 Title: Gorgeous Matsuno (c) Vs Toru Owashi

Toru Owashi was tricked into accepted the O-40 Title shot when he was promised all of the merchandise earnings from the show. It was only immediately afterwards he remembered it is being taped in an empty studio.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS”, 07/11/2020
Tokyo Dome City Hall

1. Suzume & Sena Shiori Vs Moka Miyamoto & Mei Suruga
2. Marika Kobashi & Haruna Neko Vs Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu
3. Raku Vs Yuna Manase
4. Miyu Yamashita & X Vs Maki Itoh Vs X
5. Hyper Misao Vs Saki Akai
6. International Princess Title Tournament – Semi Final: Hikari Noa Vs Mirai Maiumi
7. International Princess Title Tournament – Semi Final: Shoko Nakajima Vs Yuki Kamifuku
8. International Princess Title Tournament – Final: X Vs X
9. Princess Tag Team Titles: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino
10. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Mizuki

Looks like the card is mostly complete. Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh have a mystery partner tag match to prepare for. Yamashita had a recent interview where she said she would like to wrestle more joshi legends, naming Meiko Satomura and Aja Kong as examples. Yamashita has her history with Satomura and Itoh has had a go with Kong before so those two are good predictions. But what if the mysteries aren’t women? Itoh teams with Chris Brookes a lot and let’s face it, him showing up to wrestle on a joshi show shouldn’t surprise anyone at this point. In that case then Yamashita can team with Antonio Honda again. It will be just a little over a year since their match with Kenny Omega & Riho so a reunion can be in order. Those are the two directions I could think of based on the past of both women.

Raku is still searching for her first singles win. Can she get it by beating the returning Yuna Manase?

Mei Suruga from Gatoh Move makes her Tokyo Joshi Pro debut. She’s been on DDT shows before but her only TJPW related match was against NEO Biishiki-gun in 2018.

DDT “DAMNATION ILLEGAL ASSEMBLY RETURNS VOL. 2 ~DAISUKE SASAKI 15TH ANNIVERSARY SP~”, 12/11/2020
Shinjuku FACE

1. Daisuke Sasaki 15th Anniversary Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa Vs Yuko Miyamoto & Daisuke Sekimoto

He was kicked out of DAMNATION but Daisuke Sasaki still thinks the unit belongs to him. So for the upcoming DAMNATION produced show next month celebrating his 15th Anniversary, Sasaki is not booking any of the wrestlers who stabbed him in the back! At first that meant only Sasaki and Hiroshi Yamato were booked for the show. Shuji Ishikawa has been busy with his work in All Japan during all of this so he was unaware of what happened to DAMNATION. He still considers himself a member but is neutral when it comes to the Sasaki versus Tetsuya Endo drama. Still, he wants to be on the show especially if it means he can sing karaoke again. Yuko Miyamoto & Daisuke Sekimoto are a suitable guest pairing to go up against Sasaki & Ishikawa.

7. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Konosuke Takeshita
8. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki

In an interview with Yahoo Japan posted yesterday, Daisuke Sasaki swore he will retire if he loses to Tetsuya Endo. He will end his wrestling career and go get a job overseas where he can work three days a week with no early morning shifts. He explained in the article that Endo stopped listening to his advice around the time he became the KO-D Openweight Champion. Endo would pretend to listen but turn a blind eye to Sasaki’s advice over fashion and hairstyling. Sasaki believes everyone else in DAMNATION turned on him because Endo bribed them. He also says he will have new black wrestling gear to wear for the title match.

Now is Sasaki being genuine with his gamble? In the past he has threatened to quit wrestling or vacate championships immediately after losing matches. So in normal circumstances he doesn’t take to losing well, especially when he’s been drinking. Could this just be an empty claim or even a self-motivational tactic? Or will this really be Sasaki’s last hurrah if he can’t beat Endo?
