An emergency press conference was held today announcing changes to the D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 schedule. The two dates reserved for DDT TV SHOW tapings (28/11 & 5/12) are now taking place in Narimasu Act Hall and tickets will be free for fans to attend. The changes were made when fans requested the shows be held at venues they can go to see live instead of having them inside an empty studio. The free ticket campaign in the past has brought in new people to see DDT for the first time so it is being attempted again for the two replacement shows. Sanshiro Takagi admits it is a difficult idea to be running free shows while the business has been impacted by COVID-19. But it is a risk he is willing to take in order to make new fans.
The list of participants entering the D-Ou Grand Prix will be revealed during “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020” on 3rd November.

DDT “DDT TV SHOW! #10”, 17/10/2020
DDT TV SHOW Studio
1. 3 Way Match: Soma Takao Vs Antonio Honda Vs Danshoku Dieno
2. Chris Brookes & Shota Vs HARASHIMA & Yuki Ueno
3. Eruption Vs DISASTER BOX!: Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai Vs Naomi Yoshimura & Kazuki Hirata
4. Elimination 8-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi, Mizuki Watase & Hideki Okatani Vs Konosuke Takeshita, Akito, Shunma Katsumata & Shinya Aoki
5. Road To Ultimate Party 2020! Special Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Hiroshi Yamato
So DAMNATION seems to be split into two right now. There is the #DAMNHEARTS side led by Tetsuya Endo and there is the Daisuke Sasaki side that has Hiroshi Yamato as the only other member. What would Puma King think of this?
Shinya Aoki comes to ALL OUT’s aid in their fight against Junretsu.
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
Yesterday, SAGAT lost for the first time as a Sparky member when his former ally Yusuke Kubo pinned him. The chance to avenge that loss comes later this month.
BASARA “BASARA 138 ~THE 6TH FOX PRINCE~”, 31/10/2020
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR
1. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Tetsuo Usui
2. SAGAT Vs Takato Nakano
3. 4 Way Match: Fuminori Abe Vs Takumo Tsukamoto Vs Masato Kamino Vs Yasu Urano
4. Elimination 8-Man Tag Match: Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine, Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita Vs FUMA, Yusuke Kubo, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato
One less match than usual because all of Sento Minzoku is facing The Iron Family (plus Daichi Kazato). Also Gouma Ryu will be absent from the show so no trial shenanigans either.
DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”, 03/11/2020
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium
1. MAO Return Battle: MAO Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. Danshoku Dieno Vs Akito
3. DDT Extreme Title – Weapon Rumble: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi
4. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Yuki Ueno
5. Special Tag Match – HarashiMarafuji Vs CimaSoma: HARASHIMA & Naomichi Marufuji Vs CIMA & Soma Takao
6. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Konosuke Takeshita
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki
Chris Brookes defended the DDT UNIVERSAL Title against one half of Nautilus so now he takes on the other half. Yuki Ueno took offence to Brookes calling Naomi Yoshimura weak after beating him. Ueno then took more offence when Brookes suggested he is weaker than Yoshimura. He wants to shut Brookes up and take his title. Might even end up becoming a triple crown champion along with the two tag titles when all is said and done
The motivation levels for Akito and Danshoku Dieno seem to be going in opposite directions this year. Akito’s has been rising to the point where he became a Vice President of CyberFight. Dieno is still able to come up with ideas but has he passed his creative peak? A match between the two will provide a barometer for where both will stand in DDT.
The participants for the 2021 D-Ou Grand Prix will be revealed on this show.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS”, 07/11/2020
Tokyo Dome City Hall
1. International Princess Title Tournament – Semi Final: X Vs X
2. International Princess Title Tournament – Semi Final: X Vs X
3. Hyper Misao Vs Saki Akai
4. Princess Tag Team Titles: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino
5. International Princess Title Tournament – Final: X Vs X
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Mizuki
The first two semi-finalists in the International Princess Title tournament are Shoko Nakajima and Mirai Maiumi.
Saki Akai only wrestles in Tokyo Joshi Pro once or twice a year because DDT is her priority. For her 2020 appearance she will face Hyper Misao in a first time singles meeting. They were on opposite sides of a tag match once in 2015 but I think that may have been retconned into Akai getting replaced by Sakisama for some reason. Oh and there was also the storyline with that Saki Akamiya girl. Whatever happened to her? But enough about that.
Yuna Manase will be on the show. This will be her first appearance in Tokyo Joshi since leaving the promotion back in July. Look at her getting to wrestle everywhere!

2. International Princess Title Tournament – Round 1: Yuki Kamifuku Vs Suzume
Yuki Kamifuku’s return date from a broken finger is this show so the only guarantee from the draw was her match taking place here.

2. International Princess Title Tournament – Round 1: X Vs X
Today Thunder Rosa relinquished the International Princess Title on a video sent to Tokyo Joshi Pro. Due to the Coronavirus making overseas travel very difficult, Rosa’s scheduled title defences in March and April were both cancelled. With no opportunity to defend the title, Rosa and agreed with management to send the belt back to Japan. Rosa promised she will return to TJPW when it is safe to do so with the intention of winning back the championship. TJPW confirmed that Rosa getting a title match upon her return is of the highest priority. Until then, a new champion will be crowned in an 8-Woman tournament that will end at “WRESTLE PRINCESS” this November.
In order to crown a new champion, TJPW has to renege on the original concept for the title. The title was supposed to draw in challengers from around the world while also revitalizing Tokyo Joshi’s singles division in Japan (Princess Of Princess Title matches are few and far between so it offers something else for the roster to fight over). But since it is very difficult to bring in foreign wrestlers right now, only Japanese wrestlers are able to compete in the tournament. Entrants will be announced as soon as they are picked, taking into consideration the potential card for “WRESTLE PRINCESS”. If somebody on the roster already has a match at the Tokyo Dome City Hall then they won’t be in the tournament.
DDT “ROAD TO ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”, 25/10/2020
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
0. Under Match: Hiroshi Yamato Vs Hideki Okatani
1. Chris Brookes, Shunma Katsumata & Antonio Honda Vs HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Yukio Naya
2. Shinya Aoki Vs Mad Paulie
3. Playfulness Series Act 2: Danshoku Dieno Vs Keigo Nakamura
4. Junretsu Vs ALL OUT!: Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi Vs Konosuke Takeshita & Akito
5. Road To Ultimate Party 2020! Special Single Match: CIMA Vs Soma Takao
6 or 7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi
6 or 7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai (c) Vs Yuki Ueno, Naomi Yoshimura & Kazuki Hirata
Last week CIMA got injured in a bicycle accident, leaving him with injuries to his head, neck and hands. However I guess CIMA will recover in time for his match at the end of the month because DDT hasn’t cancelled it yet. Soma Takao looks up to CIMA anyway. He probably won’t take advantage of this in a heinous way. Backstabbing Daisuke Sasaki, sure but not CIMA.
The Junretsu Vs ALL OUT tag is getting a runback. Konosuke Takeshita & Akito are both looking for ways to beat Jun Akiyama. You can’t leave Makoto Oishi out in the cold for this either.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS”, 07/11/2020
Tokyo Dome City Hall
1. International Princess Title Tournament – Semi Final: X Vs X

4. International Princess Title Tournament – Final: X Vs X

The end of the International Princess Title tournament will feature the semi finals and the final on the same night.
GANBARE☆PRO “MAGICIANS RED 2020”, 23/11/2020
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
1. The Young General Will Avenge The General’s Death! Special Single Match: Kouki Iwasaki Vs Ikuto Hidaka
2. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Asuka (c) Vs Moeka Haruhi
Yesterday, Moeka Haruhi won a trios match against a team of wrestlers connected to each other by the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title. This victory inspired Haruhi to challenge Asuka for the title itself.
Ikuto Hidaka was impressed enough with his visit to Ganbare☆Pro yesterday that he wants to continue wrestling here. That’s good because Kouki Iwasaki told everyone he wants to beat him up. The match name makes it sound like Iwasaki is doing this to avenge Ken Ohka’s defeat to Hidaka but I’m not sure if Iwasaki cares enough about that to make it his main motivation.
“NEW YEAR’S EVE WRESTLING 2019 ~TOSHIWASHURE! SHUFFLE TAG TOURNAMENT”, 31/12/2020

The annual New Year’s Year tag team tournament held by Big Japan and DDT will go ahead this year but on a smaller scale. In order to prevent exposing fans to the Coronavirus, the event will start earlier in the evening and will only last for around 2 and a half hours. The tournament will be shortened down to 8 teams instead of the usual 16. Sadly that means there won’t be any wrestling going on inside Korakuen Hall when the clock strikes midnight to bring in 2021.

We have another contract expiration, this time it’s a DDT wrestler. Ladybeard finished up with DDT on 30th September and is now a freelancer. Ladybeard thanked the staff, wrestlers and fans for making great memories with them over the last 5 years. Ladybeard hadn’t wrestled with DDT since August 2018 anyway so this is just a formality.

There is a late change in tomorrow’s big match. Yuki Kamifuku broke the ring finger on her right hand and will not be able to wrestle for around three weeks. Under doctor’s recommendation she has pulled out of the main event. Kamifuku is aiming to return on 17th October. Mahiro Kiryu was going to remove herself from the match because of this but Kamifuku convinced her not to waste the opportunity she made for herself. Kiryu agreed and nominated Pom Harajuku to be her new tag partner. Both Daydream and The Bakuretsu Sisters gave their approval for the math to go ahead.
Marika Kobashi’s return match involves her former tag partner from the JK Strikers. However Miyu Yamashita is not on her team, instead they are against each other.

1. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Decision Match: Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Masato Kamino
2. IRON FIST TAG Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato
Two new challengers emerge for the Union MAX Title. The champion Fuminori Abe doesn’t want to defend the belt in a 3 Way so Takumi Tsukamoto and Masato Kamino will fight over the No. 1 Contendership instead. Tsukamoto has a pretty strong string of results since BASARA has been running shows again. Kamino has begun winning matches too but the opponents he has beaten so far do not give him the rub to challenge the champion straight away.

September 30, 2020
For the third time this month a Tokyo Joshi Pro contract expires. This time it is Himawari Unagi ending her association with the promotion. Unagi wants to take on new challenges in a new environment so after discussions with TJPW her contract will not be renewed. The contract just so happens to expire today so she is now officially gone from TJPW. Unagi apologised to fans for the sudden announcement and thanked them for their support. She will not forget what she learned in TJPW and will move forward in her own way.
———————————————————————–
So yeah this is concerning. That is now three women who have left TJPW this month by letting their contracts expire. Natsumi Maki, Mina Shirakawa and now Himawari Unagi are all free agents as of today. There’s also Yuna Manase transferring to Ganbare☆Pro over the summer if you want to count that. Makes me wonder if other TJPW contracts had the same expiration date of 30th September and those women got to renew their deals.

He doesn’t want anyone helping him so he is getting two Handicap Matches against Tetsuya Endo and a different partner on each show. T-Hawk is on Endo’s team for the match in Narimasu.

The Union MAX Title is getting a new first time challenger. Brahman Kei wants to take the belt from Fuminori Abe. No mention yet if Brahman Shu will be in his corner.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’20 ~WOMM (WRESTLING OF MY MIND)~”, 03/10/2020
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall
1. Marika Kobashi Return Match: Marika Kobashi Vs X
2. Princess Tag Team Titles Next Challenger Decision Battle: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu
Four Princess Tag Team Title defences are in the bag for Daydream but there are still plenty of challengers out there. The Toyo University pair of Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu are looking for a title shot. Kiryu doesn’t want to let the new class below her take the spotlight like Mirai Maiumi & Suzume just did. Kamifuku is also living up to her promise to become stronger for her friends who recently left Tokyo Joshi Pro. However, The Bakuretsu Sisters think it’s time that they get another chance to win the titles. They too have become stronger since the last time they fought for the belts.
The high school student Marika Kobashi is now a college student. Her return to the ring was delayed for months by COVID-19 but now is time for her comeback.
