Today’s show in Chiba was a cross promotion between DDT and ONLY WE. The latter is a small group of freelancers led by Yuji Hino. He teamed with Yukio Naya and Kaji Tomato to beat BURNING in the main event. Another co-promoted show between the two companies is scheduled for later this April.
DAMNATION T.A won’t make it to the Ultimate Tag League final but they still left their mark by slowing down Pheromones. The key to victory was Yuki Iino’s tights. Daisuke Sasaki grabbed it and pulled it off him while he was lured underneath the ring. DDT staff refused to let Iino continue wrestling in a G-string and Hisaya Imabayashi kept blocking him with shirts, towels or whatever he could find. Danshoku Dieno & Yumehito Imanari helped Iino give Imabayashi a “public execution” but Sasaki then used a pair of scissors to cut off Iino’s G-string! Iino finally reached his limit and went off to cover his shame while MJ Paul pinned Imanari with the Death Valley Bomb.
ONLY WE has a rival unit that made their presence felt on this show. Shogun Okamoto represents the PERON GRANDES faction and he attacked Quiet Storm with a chair to get himself disqualified. Storm swore to get revenge while Okamoto warned that wherever ONLY WE goes, so will PERON GRANDES!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2022 WINTER”, 19/02/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
202 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Mahiro Kiryu defeated Arisu Endo with the Spinebuster (6:42).
2. Pom Harajuku defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Pom de Justice (7:02).
3. Hyper Misao defeated Haruna Neko with the Hypami Returns (8:17).
4. 3 Way Match: Nao Kakuta defeated Yuki Kamifuku and Kaya Toribami when Kakuta pinned Toribami with the Shiden Kai (6:36).
5. Shoko Nakajima defeated Marika Kobashi with the Diving Senton (12:33).
6. Mizuki, Hikari Noa & Yuki Arai Vs Miu Watanabe, Yuki Aino & Suzume ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).
There were already several wrestlers missing from the show for covid related reasons today. One more had to pull out on short notice when Yuka Sakazaki was identified as a close contact. Hikari Noa moved up to take her place in the main event and the 17 remaining members of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster went on with the show.
All six women in the main event fought until the time expired, with Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai against each other being the focus of the final minutes. Mizuki was disappointed over the match result being a tie but said it is times like these when everybody who supports each other should be united. She wants to make TJPW a warm and welcoming place that she loves. The match also motivated her after seeing how much stronger Noa and Arai have become. Backstage Yuki Aino warned that Arai will turn into a dirty fighter if she keeps teaming with the likes of Mizuki & Noa. She at least had fun teaming up with Watanabe and Suzume which doesn’t happen often.
Shoko Nakajima gave Marika Kobashi a pat on the head after their match. They both think this was likely their last singles match against each other with Kobashi leaving in April. Nakajima also felt the match was a good warm up for her upcoming Princess Of Princess Title match. Kobashi feels special for being a singles opponent for both Nakajima and Miyu Yamashita before their big title match. But she doesn’t want her remaining matches to just be about getting stronger. She wants some results to be part of her final memories here.
Noa moving out of Match #4 turned into a 3 Way with the remaining wrestlers. Yuki Kamifuku tried to trick Kaya Toribami into siding with her because it’s her birthday soon. She then got into an argument with Nao Kakuta over it and both of them pushed Toribami away when she tried to step in, causing all three to fight each other.
Hyper Misao decided that to beat a catgirl you must become one. She explained she’s been raising cats for a year so her neko power has increased. So for today only she is Neko Misao, the Cat Of Northern Kanto! Haruna Neko wasn’t impressed and she pulled the cat ears and tail off of her opponent while they wrestled.

3. Hardcore Judo: MAO defeated Takayuki Ueki by Ippon with a Table Crash (13:10).
4. Vihta JP Presents Special 6-Man Tag Match ~Into The Light~: HERO! (Yuki Ueno), HERO! & Sanshiro Takagi defeated Toru Owashi, Danshoku Dieno & Masahiro Takanashi when HERO! (Ueno) pinned Dieno with the HERO! Splash (11:34).
5. Hokuo Presents Special Tag Match ~WE GOTTA NeppWER!!~: Yuko Miyamoto & Isami Kodaka defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata when Kodaka pinned Katsumata with the Ikkitousen (18:36).
Today’s heavily sponsored show was put together by The 37KAMIINA. There were many sauna related endorsements attached to the event such as a big gift voucher for a popular sauna shop in Tokyo as the prize for whoever won the main event. Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata really wanted to win that prize put couldn’t defeat Yankee Two Kenju to get it. Instead Takeshita was dragged outside to fight with Yuko Miyamoto while Isami Kodaka pinned Katsumata with the Ikkitousen. Takeshita was still happy to wrestle against one of the most established tag teams in Japan. He asked if they could give him a lend of the voucher but Kodaka refused. Takeshita then asked the sponsor if he and Katsumata deserved a voucher of their own for their performance today. The sponsor agreed and promised to get them one. Kodaka is already familiar with Katsumata through their death matches in Big Japan but he showed interest in having a singles match against Takeshita some day.
It’s the distant future, the year 20XX. Toru Owashi, Danshoku Dieno & Masahiro Takanashi formed a new evil unit called SHOCK CHOOSE DOG to take over everything. Desperate for help, Sanshiro Takagi used a time machine to bring HERO! over and save the day! Things were looking bleak when Dieno stripped Yuki Ueno out of his wrestling gear, causing Ueno to leave the match out of protest. Even worse, SHOCK CHOOSE DOG unmasked HERO! to reveal it was HARASHIMA! Takagi screamed for help and all of a sudden, another HERO! appeared! HARASHIMA put the mask back on and the two HERO!’s worked together to stop SHOCK CHOOSE DOG once and for all. HARA-HERO! explained that the time machine must have grabbed a HERO! from two or three years before his own time, like maybe the Club ATOM era of DDT. That is going to create a time paradox so the two HERO!’s must return to their own timelines immediately. Takagi asked where Ueno went during all of this and the other HERO! said he saw him crying in the waiting room.
Meanwhile MAO had big plans for his portion of the show. Today he established the All Japan Hardcore Judo Association! He defeated Takayuki Ueki in a Hardcore Judo match that mixed judo throws with chair shots, ladder bumps and table crashes. This stipulation was used once before when MAO challenged Shinya Aoki for the DDT Extreme Title. So it is a natural choice for MAO to choose Aoki as the association’s chairman! Ueki will also be involved as an Exectuive Director while MAO himself is the President. MAO would like Naomi Yoshimura and Kazusada Higuchi to get involved too so it can grow big enough to hold two Hardcore Judo matches per event.
Hyper Misao & Mecha Mummy were the last team standing in the SSS Cup Gauntlet Match. They then found out that Katsumata is the general manager of the sauna shop that was sponsoring the match. When he presented the team with their prize, Misao suddenly sprayed him in the face! She still holds a grudge with him over their Hardcore matches that took place in Nagoya and the Tokyo Dome last year where she felt humiliated losing to him. She will still go to the sauna with Mecha Mummy though because the steam will help clean up the robot’s body.
Poor little Toui Kojima is feeling sorry for himself lately. After he lost to Aoki in the opener he apologised to him for being the weakest wrestler in DDT right now. Aoki lifted his spirits by telling him he only has room to grow. During the match Kojima tried to give Aoki a Triangle Choke which Aoki described as a good attempt. He left him with encouragement to get stronger.

3. Shunma Katsumata & MAO (2)
-. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul (2)
-. Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi (2)
Eruption are now on the board, scoring their first win in the Ultimate Tag League. They also deal a blow to The 37KAMIINA’s chances of reaching first place in the A Block. Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani ended up focusing their teamwork on Yuki Ueno, hitting the Diving Knee Drop and Doctor Bomb on him. Konosuke Takeshita kept breaking as many pins as he could but in the end Higuchi finally got the three count on Ueno with the Brain Claw Slam.
Okatani was pleased with getting his first league win in Eruption even though he did not directly get the pin. They have two more group matches left so he is certain he can get a direct win on the way to the final. There is also something else on his mind. He was recently given the nickname “Red Super Comet”. He doesn’t think it suits him and also doesn’t want to use a name created by someone else. He instead wants to be called “The Red Fighting Spirit” of Eruption!
It is BURNING who leads the A Block uncontested and they now just need to win their last match to reach the final. You could argue they had it easy today because one of their opponents was Kazuki Hirata. He would have been quickly beaten by Jun Akiyama had he not pleaded for mercy when Akiyama set him up for the Exploder Suplex. Shuji Kondo had to do the heavy lifting until he was blocked off by Tetsuya Endo. Hirata did what he could to steal a win but Akiyama got him with the Exploder anyway. Hirata surprisingly kicked out so Akiyama gave him another one to get the win. Endo said there would be no miracle today while Akiyama thinks Hirata wants a one on one match against him. Hirata definitely does not agree, even with Kondo encouraging him to do it!
Yuki “Sexy” Iino is the new DDT Extreme Champion but Shinya Aoki got to get oiled up by Yumiko Hotta, so who really won today? The answer is Iino because he now has a championship belt, duh. The more oil that covered Iino and Aoki, the slippier they became. There is no justice I could do to describe a match so lewd it caused DDT to delete the video from Youtube after it aired. Pheromones eventually attacked Aoki outside the ring until Hotta came to the rescue. Unfortunately for Hotta, Danshoku Dieno Slingshotted her face into Iino’s butt while he held Aoki in the WAR Special. The referee was near the 20 count when both wrestlers ran back to the ring. Iino got back in time but Aoki slipped and stumbled, causing him to lose by countout. That result is still eligible for a title change so Iino is the new champion! On the bright side, Aoki got a box of Valentine’s day chocolates from Hotta.
Dieno got on the microphone and said that match is the part of pro wrestling Pheromones are here to do. Iino then nominated Shunma Katsumata to be his first challenger. Katsumata doesn’t want to get involved but reluctantly appeared when Dieno threatened Hisaya Imabyashi to take his place. He refused the nomination but Imabayashi booked the title match for 27th March anyway. Pheromones then attacked Katsumata and left him laying. Backstage Katsumata said the Iino he knew from ALL OUT is gone. He also accused Imabayashi of possibly being the secret mastermind behind Pheromones! Why else would he put him into this match against his wishes?
The visiting Jun Kasai had a lot on his plate today. First he was victorious in a 6-Man Tag Match with Yuji Hino & Yukio Sakaguchi. After his partners got wiped out along with HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura, Kasai was left alone with Soma Takao. Seemingly looking frustrated, Kasai yelled for DDT to get him more excited before he pinned Takao with the Vertical Drop Reverse Tiger Driver. Kasai didn’t want to celebrate the win though and called for his music to stop.
Kasai said after being a long time away from DDT he was looking forward to seeing who in the company would inspire him. He found the experience today lacking and can only think of one person that interests him. Daisuke Sasaki! He walked out but was followed by MAO behind him. Earlier in the show MAO had finally convinced Sasaki to give him the DDT Universal Title shot at Sumo Hall on 20th March. But now Kasai is making the same challenge because he wants a rematch of their Saitama Super Arena war from five years ago! MAO butted in to remind them he already has the title shot. Sasaki agreed to make it a Hardcore 3 Way Match at Sumo Hall so MAO would finally shut up.
Sasaki is full to the brim with confidence now that Minoru Fujita is with DAMNATION T.A. After accepting the 3 Way Challenge, Sasaki said Fujita is like his spy because Fujita knows Kasai in the ring very well. When DAMNATION T.A had their match, they quickly attacked MAO first. MAO recovered and had some help with Akito to clean up the opposition but that left Yuki Ishida alone with MJ Paul. A Lariat and the Death Valley Bomb gave Paul the win. Sasaki then hit Ishida with a chair and gave Daisuke Kiso the Michinoku Driver II. That was when MAO challenged Sasaki for the title shot and finally got it.
The Mixed Tag match ended with Yukio Naya pinning Toui Kojima but the attention was all on Saki Akai and Maya Yukihi as their rivalry grows further. Yukihi can see that Akai is becoming more emotional in their matches. She thought Akai was always looking down on her but maybe Akai is starting to see her for who she is. Akai at least approves of Yukihi being ready to fight her in all of their matches so far. The differences between them means they will have a match unlike anything else at Sumo Hall.
Toru Owashi came up with a new match format to try out with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. He wanted the 5 Way Match to go on until the defending champion survives for two minutes without losing the belt. It’s a task that is easier said than done because there were loads of title changes within five minutes. Owashi, Dieno, Katsumata, Masahiro Takanashi and Antonio Honda all got to win the title during the match. A Foot Acupoint Mat also briefly became the champion because it covered Takanashi while Katsumata was pinning him. Honda was finally able to last the two minutes as champion and be declared the winner.
The Iron Man Title returned later in the show when Honda was chased into the ring. Everyone stopped when they saw special guest Lingling from BiSH in the ring. She all shook their hands, unaware that she has an incredibly strong grip that left each wrestler in pain. When she shook Honda’s hand, a loud crack was heard and Honda screamed he was giving up. That means Lingling is now the Iron Man Champion! She didn’t think she was this powerful but she is happy to win a championship.
Yusuke Okada beat Yuya Koroku in the dark match. Koroku missed a Moonsault and was made to crawl over to the ropes in a Crab Hold. His attempt to regain momentum was cut off with the Kitchen Sink and Okada pinned him with the Sudden Death.
It was announced that Akiyama will team with Takao Omori at Sumo Hall! This is being done to celebrate Akiyama’s 30th Anniversary in wrestling. He is happy with the news because it’s been a long time since he’s been in the ring with Omori. Their opponents are to be announced.

GANBARE☆PRO “ICE SMILE 2022”, 13/02/2022
Osaka City Suminoe Maikon Hall
121 Fans
1. Tiger Vs Dragon In Osaka: Mizuki Watase defeated Ryuya Matsufusa with the Back Drop (10:09).
2. Ganjo Special Single Match: Yuna Manase defeated YuuRI with the Suzuki Dynamic (8:10).
3. Koshi Enjo Vs Harukatsu Shoot: Shuichiro Katsumura & Moeka Haruhi defeated Yumehito Imanari & HARUKAZE when Haruhi pinned HARUKAZE with the Ojosama Clutch (13:10).
4. Ganpro Special Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii & Nobuhiro Shimatani defeated Tsuyoshi Okada & Tyson Maeguchi when Ishii pinned Maeguchi with the Double-Armed Driver (13:35).
5. Ganpro Osaka Winter Team: Ken Ohka, Kouki Iwasaki & Katsumi Oribe defeated Shota, Soma Takao & Rapid when Iwasaki pinned Shota with the Vertical Drop Reverse DDT (21:20).
A win in the main event should have cheered up Kouki Iwasaki but he was apologetic to the Osaka crowd after the match instead. He was sorry he doesn’t have the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title belt in his possession to show off for everyone. He made it his goal to win the title from Tatsuhito Takaiwa and wear it all over the country for all the Ganbare☆Pro fans to see.
At the end of the show Katsumi Oribe invited Ken Ohka, Rapid and Ryuya Matsufusa to join his LINE group called Oribe Gundan.
Keisuke Ishii and Tyson Maeguchi both expressed an interest in having a singles match against each other. Maeguchi really likes Ishii’s wrestling style and wants to learn it from him in the ring. Ishii has teamed with him before and welcomes the idea of a one on one match between them.
Today is the 17th Anniversary of Moeka Haruhi’s debut match! She used an earlier move from her career (or at least a move I haven’t seen her use in Ganpro before), the Ojosama Clutch to pin HARUKAZE.
Even though Yuna Manase and YuuRI were opponents today, they are also forming a tag team to enter a tournament in Marvelous later this month. After discussions with Ohka they decided their team name will be Nippon Ganbare Union!

1. Yuya Koroku defeated Yuki Ishida with the Chickenwing Arm Lock (10:21).
2. Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yuki “Sexy” Iino Vs Antonio Honda & Kazuki Hirata ended in a No Contest (10:55).

5. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul (0)
As the Ultimate Tag League rolls on there are two unbeaten teams remaining in the A Block. The 37KAMIINA spoiled Yuji Hino’s return home to Osaka and probably ended his team’s chances of reaching the final. Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno get to enjoy their sponsored prizes for winning while Hino is left encouraging Yukio Naya to get even stronger. Both teams have Eruption next on their schedules. For Hino & Naya it will be their last match in the block so Naya badly wants to end their run with a win.
Hard work is paying off for one team in the B Block. DISASTER BOX blew through ShunMao’s wacky tactics to move up to the top side of the group. MAO attempted to break a submission hold by tying his own boot laces to the tag rope so he would technically still be in his corner. The plan didn’t work because he was still too far away from the others and was left dangling over the ring ropes. When he got freed he later hit a stage dive onto HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura. But the end came when Yoshimura pinned Shunma Katsumata with the Throwaway Power Bomb. He is enjoying his team with HARASHIMA so much he forgets they are wrestling in a high stakes tournament. MAO isn’t too concerned with losing because he believes he is the next challenger for the DDT Universal Title. No losses in the Tag League will take that away from him but he told Katsumata he will still try to win.
The newly enforced DAMNATION T.A did plenty of cheating to win their match against Soma Takao, Akito & Toui Kojima. They took advantage of ref bumps (that they caused on purpose) to beat down their opponents with chairs until they won. MJ Paul even gave Kojima an extra chairshot after the match. Daisuke Sasaki warned that Minoru Fujita may not be the only new member of the unit. DAMNATION T.A will take over DDT and the wrestling world!
The Pheromones match was once again cancelled midway through because the show was airing live on Youtube and DDT doesn’t want their channel to get banned. Sanshiro Takagi was even in charge of using the iPad filming the show and tried to keep the hard cam shot as wide as he could. Hisaya Imabayashi called off the match and was “publicly executed” Pheromones style for doing so.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

*V1 for Maki Itoh.
7. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino when Tatsumi pinned Tenma with the Missile Hips (20:30).
The second ever Max Heart Tournament goes to Daydream! The big final was a rubber match between them and The Bakuretsu Sisters after they had a 1-1 record against each other going back to 2020. Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino hit their big move the Bakuretsu Bulldog to their opponents early but couldn’t win off of it. Rika Tatsumi countered Tenma’s Killswitch into the Twist Of Fate, letting her regroup with Miu Watanabe. Aino was taken care of with the Tear Drop and Tenma was given the Daydream Eternity. Tatsumi then finished her off with the Missile Hips to win the tournament! It wasn’t the fairytale ending for Tenma as her wrestling career reaches its final weeks. But she is sure the battles between The Bakuretsu Sisters and Daydream will live on in the history of Tokyo Joshi Pro.
For Daydream they received their prize for winning the Max Heart Tournament. However they still have an even bigger dream they want to come true. They want to challenge The Magical Sugar Rabbits for the Princess Tag Team Titles at Sumo Hall! The champions came out and accepted the challenge for 19th March. Yuka Sakazaki agreed that Daydream earned the right to have the match. Meanwhile MagiRabi has to make up for getting eliminated in Round 1 so Sakazaki & Mizuki are as determined as ever to keep the championships. They also asked if they could get the Max Heart trophies if they beat Daydream.
The International Princess Title match had an unusual interruption when Maki Itoh had Yuki Kamifuku almost beaten. Itoh had locked in the Itoh Punish when Kamifuku grabbed the rope and then reached over to Mahiro Kiryu. It turned out Kiryu was holding up Kamifuku’s phone and somebody was calling her. Kamifuku answered and told everyone it was her mother. She then passed the phone over to Itoh asking her to join in the call. Itoh reluctantly did and Kamifuku suddenly gave her a School Boy for a nearfall. Itoh regained her composure and put her opponent in the Itoh Deluxe for the victory. Afterwards Kamifuku admitted that Itoh is the cutest in the world and more importantly, her friend who she supports. She still poked her in the eye causing Itoh to start swearing in English.
Once Itoh calmed down she declared she is ready to defend the IP Title as many times as she wants around the world. So whoever wants to fight her next should come out down. Enter Yuki Arai! She politely asked Itoh for a title shot and brought up Itoh being in her debut match last year. At the time Itoh gave Arai the goal to crush her no matter how long it will take. Arai thinks now is the right time to achieve that goal. Itoh accepted the challenge and said the title match will happen at Sumo Hall on 19th March!
The Ryogoku main eventers Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima (with a new haircut) were pitted against each other in a 6-Woman Tag, giving them more chances to figure each other out. Yamashita got the last hit on her challenger with the Skull Kick. Mizuki got rid of Yamashita with the Cutie Special. From there, MagiRabi were too much for Marika Kobashi to handle. Kobashi’s Front Neck Lock was broken and Sakazaki pinned her with the Magical Merry-Go-Round. Nakajima had fun teaming with MagiRabi again but she needs to make sure to avoid that Skull Kick.
The antics of Raku & Pom Harajuku were enough to send Sakisama to sleep. A lullaby from Raku made Sakisama drowsy and eventually she just had to take that nap on the ring apron. Mei Saint-Michel had to bang on the ring bell to wake her up. NEO Biishiki-gun ended up winning and Saint-Michel started complaining about being hungry. She wanted to go eat chanko stew. That reminded Sakisama of the Sumo Hall show next month so she decided NEO Biishiki-gun will be there! Meanwhile Raku & Harajuku blamed their loss today on the referee. Harajuku wants to get revenge on Yukinori Matsui but she doesn’t want to see him again either.
Arai got her confidence to challenge for the IP Title by beating Suzume earlier in the show. Suzume hit a Facebuster and went for the Ring A Bell but Arai hit back with the Full Nelson Buster and the Finally axe kick to win. Arai wants to have many more matches with Suzume because she thinks the two of them make each other improve so much. Suzume is upset to lose in front of her fans. There are many wrestlers she doesn’t want to lose against and now Arai is the one she wants to beat the most.
Today was only the second time Ram Kaichow has been in TJPW but she is already making the place feel like home. Perhaps she is getting a little bit too comfortable because she got Hyper Misao and Mahiro Kiryu to carry her on their shoulders down to the ring. Misao also had extra masks as gifts for her tag partners but they quietly left them on the canvas when she wasn’t paying attention. Misao then tried giving one to Asuka but was rejected again. Kiryu gave Haruna Neko a Sidebuster but she was then wiped out by a mistargeted Asai Moonsault from Asuka. Kaichow gave Asuka the Codebreaker and Misao pinned Kaya Toribami with the Hypami Returns. It was then announced that Kaichow will be back for the Sumo Hall show.
The opening match had classmates Arisu Endo and Moka Miyamoto going against each other. Their previous singles match last July ended in a draw. Miyamoto avoided the Waterwheel Drop and applied the Rashomon submission hold. Endo tried struggling out of it but had to give up in the end. Miyamoto is happy to win but is aware Endo has become stronger.
A former member of TJPW made her presence known at the beginning of the show. Yuna Manase came out and announced she will be at the Sumo Hall show next month! However this is not the old Yuna Manase that TJPW fans will remember. She is the burning hot Yuna Manase of Ganbare☆Pro! It would be easy for her to nominate an opponent right now but she doesn’t want to fight somebody just because she or the company told them to. No, she wants an opponent who wants to fight her under their own initiative. She doesn’t care how old they are or where they come from. They can even come over to Ganbare☆Joshi and challenge her there if they want! Or maybe Manase will bring her friends from Ganjo over instead. Nao Kakuta heard her call and threw her name into the hat to fight Manase at Sumo Hall.
Even though Hikari Noa was missing from today’s show, she still was involved in something newsworthy. She is getting a singles match against Hikaru Shida from AEW at Sumo Hall!

-. HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura (2)
5. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul (0)
The former KO-D Tag Team Champions get their first win of the Ultimate Tag League. It became a dangerous match for HARASHIMA when Daisuke Sasaki began targeting his leg including some chair strikes to it outside the ring. Naomi Yoshimura tried to carry the match by himself but had to rely on double team moves with a less than 100% HARASHIMA. They were able to isolate MJ Paul and wear him down with big moves until HARASHIMA pinned him with the Somato. HARASHIMA told his tag partner there are more challenging teams to fight against in their group but they can beat them all, reach the final and reclaim the KO-D Tag Titles. Sasaki complained about the result backstage and threatened to boycott the rest of the tournament. He also won’t accept MAO’s challenge for the DDT Universal Title.
Tetsuya Endo’s big entrance performed live by Osamu Suzuki ended up spoiled when BURNING lost to The 37KAMIINA. Endo was disappointed he couldn’t win and get another live performance of his theme song. Jun Akiyama told him the tension between the two units is rising but when the Ultimate Tag League reaches the finish, all teams will be in the same condition. Endo said Konosuke Takeshita has a lot of crazy moves that are difficult to counter. One of them was even inherited from Akiyama! There is still a month to go until the KO-D Openweight Title match so Endo has time to come up with a plan.
The other Tag League match that went ahead was Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya beating Shuji Kondo & Kazuki Hirata in the A Block. Hirata had the impossible task of trying to hurt Hino. It was up to Kondo to take the big man out, leaving Hirata to deal with Naya. Hirata almost got the win out of nowhere by countering the Choke Slam into a Small Package but Naya kicked out. Naya then hit a Running Knee Strike and pinned Hirata with the Back Drop. Hino is pleased with Naya’s growth and wants the two of them to win their remaining matches. Kondo tried to keep Hirata’s spirits up by telling him he is getting stronger day by day. Hirata isn’t sure if he should believe him, especially since he will have to fight Jun Akiyama next.
The Tag League match between Pheromones and CDK was cancelled because Masahiro Takanashi tested positive for covid last week. CDK forfeits the match, giving Pheromones an extra two points. A non-tournament replacement match took place instead with Chris Brookes teaming with Antonio Honda. A duel between Honda and Yuki Iino left Honda physically unable to continue fighting so he was put on a stretcher. However, Iino intercepted the stretcher and held it up so Yumehito Imanari could tape Honda to it! Honda was in a helpless state and verbally gave up when Iino was about to hit him with the Badonkadonk. Brookes swore revenge on Pheromones once Takanashi is cleared to return.
Today’s show was streamed live on Youtube to celebrate the DDT channel reaching 100,000 subscribers. At the end of the show MAO made his way over to the tripod to thanks all of the viewers. He got too excited though and the tripod ended up toppling over and falling on top of him. Yukinori Matsui saw the iPad resting on MAO’s chest and counted to three. After some deliberation, Matsui declared that all 100,000 Youtube subscribers had just won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title! After that Toru Owashi then laid the iPad onto the ground, took off his shirt and laid on top of it. That prompted Matsui to do another three count and declare Owashi the new champion. Owashi waved goodbye to all of the viewers as the stream ended.

4. Road To Korakuen! GanPro Vs Takaiwa Army Full-Scale Battle: Tatsuhito Takaiwa & 5th Black Tiger defeated Kouki Iwasaki & Mizuki Watase when Takaiwa pinned Watase with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (15:37).
5. Ganpro Yokohama First Landing Commemorative Match ~Team Reversal Gym Yokohama Grand Slam Vs Wrestle Drunkers~: Shuichiro Katsumura, Tsuyoshi Okada & Yumehito Imanari defeated Keisuke Ishii, Tanomusaku Toba & Tyson Maeguchi when Katsumura submitted Maeguchi with the Ninja Choke (17:07).
Both Shuichiro Katsumura and HARUKAZE were celebrating their homecoming matches today and both came out of the show with victories. In the main event, Katsumura gathered together wrestlers representing his Team Reversal Gym Yokohama Grand Slam. After winning the match, Katsumura told everyone this is Ganbare☆Pro’s first show in Yokohama. For many fans here it is their first time seeing Ganpro and maybe even pro wrestling. He doesn’t know what will happen next with Ganpro but he hopes they will come back to his hometown.
A public contract signing for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title match on 27th February took place before today’s show. Kouki Iwasaki said he is physically and mentally ready to crush Tatsuhito Takaiwa’s chest in with his kicks. His goal is to win the title in the main event of Korakuen Hall and defend it at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022” in June. Otherwise there is no future in Ganpro if Takaiwa remains the champion until that show. Takaiwa said at 50 years old he is celebrating 30 years in pro wrestling this year. He believes Iwasaki will be the champion some day and it is up to himself as the first champion to show him what it is like. Later in the show Takaiwa & 5th Black Tiger beat Iwasaki & Mizuki Watase in a tag match. Takaiwa feels reinvigorated wrestling these matches and is making the most of them.
HARUKAZE’s homecoming was twice as special because today is also her birthday! It is such a special occasion that her mother came to see her wrestle. Her team originally won their match in 5 seconds when Shota immediately pinned Shinichiro Tominaga. Both sides agreed to an immediate rematch where HARUKAZE got to properly earn the victory by pinning YuuRI. After the match Ken Ohka and Shinjiro Otani brought out a birthday cake for her and everyone celebrated. HARUKAZE told everyone when she started wrestling her mother would tell her to stop everyday. Today she got to see her daughter be a winner, which made HARUKAZE very happy.
