DDT “JUST BEFORE YOKOHAMA BUDOKAN! ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN I-CANAL STREET”, 29/04/2022
Yokohama i-Canal Street
??? Fans
1. Falls Count Anywhere 3 Way Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani and Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida when Katsumata pinned Ishida with a Diving Body Press from the Telephone Pole through Table (29:08).
A rainy afternoon in Yokohama’s i-Canal Street didn’t dampen the spirits of DDT. They went ahead with the latest street wrestling Falls Count Anywhere match and were motivated by having a crowd of people watching the action. Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida brought ladders with them while Eruption were armed with canes. Shunmao were the only ones not to walk into the match with any weapons. Some of the early exchanges were playful and all six wrestlers ended up forming a chain of Arm Wringers down the street.
Things broke down from there. Everyone kept bumping on the pavement. Ishida threw Shunma Katsumata into a pole. Kazusada Higuchi and Naya almost fought their way into a nearby shop and had to be stopped from going in there. Hideki Okatani kicked Katsumata down a stairway. MAO then gave his own tag partner a Back Body Drop onto everyone else. Then at the end of the street there were competing submission holds all held for the audience to take pictures of.
The fighting continued with MAO climbing up a nearby shop sign and Moonsaulting onto both Eruption wrestlers. Katsumata kept scooping up puddle water to splash over Ishida’s face. Higuchi tried to German Suplex Katsumata but it was blocked. What followed was each wrestler trying to pin each other in the rain with European Clutches. Naya went into a nearby shop and walked out wearing boxing gloves to punch everyone with! Ishida used his sumo ability to throw down anyone who was thrown into him. Okatani stopped him with cane shots.
MAO set up some chairs and tried to Cross-Arm Power Bomb Okatani onto them. Instead Okatani blocked it and slammed MAO onto the chairs with a Double Arm Suplex. Naya Body Slammed some cornermen onto the chairs and then Choke Slammed Okatani on top of them. He went for the pin but MAO broke it up with a Rolling Senton off of a chair. Shunmao set up a table and ladder. They put Ishida on the table and Katsumata climbed up a nearby phone pole. He jumped off and put Ishida through the table with a Diving Body Press for the three count! The wrestlers all got together at the end and thanked the crowd for watching.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR ’22”, 29/04/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
150 Fans
1. Yuki Aino defeated Kaya Toribami with the Venus DDT (6:57).
2. Miu Watanabe defeated Haruna Neko with the Canadian Backbreaker (7:33).
3. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta defeated Rika Tatsumi & Arisu Endo when Kakuta pinned Endo with the Shiden Kai (11:20).
4. Miyu Yamashita defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Attitude Adjustment (8:25).
5. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Raku defeated Maki Itoh, Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Sakazaki pinned Kiryu after the Toy Story 4 (13:01).
6. Shoko Nakajima & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao & Suzume when Nakajima pinned Suzume with the Northern Lights Suplex (12:45).
Fresh back from England, Shoko Nakajima wanted to show off her manners she learned over there by shaking hands with Hyper Misao before the main event began. There was an accidental unmasking when Nakajima gave Misao a Hurricanrana but other than that tension was calm between the two. After the match Nakajima said wrestling outside of Tokyo Joshi Pro gave her a different view and she wants to bring everyone to that wider place. There is still another tag match between her and Misao tomorrow before the Princess Of Princess Title defence takes place next week. She is enthusiastic for it. Today was also a rare situation for Pom Harajuku. She is a winner in the main event! Even she can’t believe it and thinks it was a fluke. She won’t be at tomorrow’s show so she asked Nakajima to work 2.5 times as hard for her.
Another preview match for Korakuen Hall saw Miyu Yamashita beat Moka Miyamoto. Yamashita could feel that Miyamoto understands the importance of their tag match on 3rd May and it showed with her performance today. Miyamoto is disappointed with the loss but will use it for motivation when she takes on Maki Itoh tomorrow. By doing her best in her singles matches it means she will also do her best when she teams with Hikaru Shida next week.
It was announced that Reika Saiki will have a three minute exhibition match against Arisu Endo as part of her retirement ceremony on 3rd May. Saiki and Endo both came from Cheer♡1 and were even in the same “Yellow” role of the group. In fact, it was because of Saiki that Endo became a wrestler in the first place.

4a. Rematch: FUMA, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato (w/ Gouma) defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Fuminori Abe & Yasu Urano when Hiroshi pinned Tsukamoto with the Tani Otoshi (8:14).
5. Union MAX Title – GRACE GROUP Presents: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Daiki Shimomura with the V Slider (18:51).
*V5 for Ryota Nakatsu.
It’s now five Union Max Title defences for Ryota Nakatsu, tying the amount from his first reign. He is proud of how passionate Daiki Shimomura fought but told him he should not be satisfied over it. Nakatsu is old and Shimomura are young but they both have a lot of energy so they will continue doing their best for BASARA! No new challenger came out but instead the president of GRACE GROUP asked him for three favours. First, he wants to host a Grace Project show on 5th June built around BASARA taking on a group of wrestlers representing the Grace Family. Nakatsu agreed to it.
The president brought out Kamui and Kenya Maeda. They said the entire Grace Family has already been chosen. They are Kamui, Katsumi Oribe, Kota Umeda, Tomoya Hirata, Daisuke Masaoka and Takashi Sasaki! Nakatsu accepted the challenge and talked with the president over who should be on BASARA’s team. They decided on Nakatsu, Shimomura, Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino, Isami Kodaka and maybe they will offer the last spot to SAGAT. Maeda then introduced himself as Tatsuhito Takaiwa’s number one disciple and kept repeating himself when Kodaka acted like he wasn’t paying attention. They agreed to a singles match against each other at a Grace Project show taking place in two days time. That was the president’s second request. The third and final request was allowing them to sell tickets to the show at the concession area after the show.
Before the 6-Man Tag Match began, Gouma warned the Asian Kung Fu Revolution that someone on their team was going to betray them. Daichi Kazato immediately said it wasn’t him over and over. However Gouma kept getting in the way of his own teammates until he got into a fight with Takumi Tsukamoto, causing a full scale brawl to start and the match to end in a Double DQ. FUMA then revealed Gouma was the traitor all along and he is the newest member of Asian Kung Fu Revolution! The match restarted and this time Gouma kept messing up and hitting his new teammates. They turned on him causing the other team to come to his aid. However this was another trick and Gouma hugged Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi as another sign of betrayal. Gouma then gave Tsukamoto the Jumping Neckbreaker Drop and Hiroshi pinned him with the Tani Otoshi. The two teams continued brawling after the match and all fought their way backstage.

1. Special Poccha Libre Match ~Fighting Illustrator Vs American Drag Queen From The Philippines~: Yappy defeated Beauty Suzuki (w/ 643 Mangaritsutsua) with a Crushed La Magistral Cradle (8:14).
2. PocchaJo New Chapter ~Fighting Weather Reporter Vs Former Weightlifting Women’s Triple Crown Champion~: YuuRI Vs Maika Ozaki ended in a No Contest when Beauty Suzuki, 643 Mangaritsutsua and Yappy all interfered (7:50).
2a. Overtime: Maika Ozaki & Yappy defeated YuuRI & Beauty Suzuki (w/ 643 Mangaritsutsua) when Yappy pinned Suzuki with the Choke Skull Slam (5:38).
3. PocchaJo 3rd Anniversary Match: Yumehito Imanari defeated Yuna Manase with a Lariat (16:35).
The return of Pocchari Joshi to celebrate its 3rd Anniversary was also a chance to bring Yumehito Imanari’s vision back to its origin. He created the sub-brand to let joshi of a certain size show off their individuality and charm in the ring. He hopes Yuna Manase and others will continue to do so. At the end of the show, Imanari invited Totoro Satsuki from Ice Ribbon into the ring. She has been teaming with Manase in Ice Ribbon lately and they are fighting to get a shot at the International Ribbon Tag Team Titles. Imanari encouraged the pair to continue chasing after the belts and told Satsuki to carry Ice Ribbon on her back.
Moeka Haruhi was pulled off the show after she tested positive for covid. Maika Ozaki’s replacement opponent was YuuRI but their match was spoiled when Beauty Suzuki & 643 Mangaritsutsua started interfering on YuuRI’s behalf. Yappy then came out to even the odds and a big fight caused the match to get thrown out. The four wrestlers agreed to do a Ganbare☆Pro Vs Ice Ribbon tag match on the spot. The Ganpro team fell apart when Suzuki accidentally hit his partner. The scenario then happened in reverse but this time YuuRI’s attack was intentional as payback. Mangaritsutsua tried to get involved but Ozaki put the drag queen in a Torture Rack while Yappy finished off Suzuki.

DDT “MAX BUMP 2022 TOUR IN KOBE”, 24/04/2022
Kobe Art Center
139 Fans
1. Chris Brookes defeated Yuya Koroku with the Grounded Octopus Stretch (10:17).
2. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated Akito & Toui Kojima when Paul pinned Kojima with the Death Valley Bomb (11:57).
3. Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Yuki Ishida when Naya pinned Ishida with a Big Boot (10:11).
4. Kobe Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Antonio Honda defeated Genki Horiguchi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Iino pinned Hirata with a Lariat (0:22).
4a. Rematch: Genki Horiguchi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Antonio Honda when Horiguchi pinned Honda with the Backslide From Anal (12:27).
5. DISASTER BOX Vs Eruption!: HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani when Yoshimura pinned Okatani with the Throwaway Power Bomb (13:37).
6. BURNING Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada defeated Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata when Endo pinned Katsumata with the Burning Star Press (19:59).
In response to yesterday’s quick result, Tetsuya Endo didn’t take Yuki Ueno lightly today. Instead he attacked Ueno from the bell and applied his own Sleeper Hold with the intention to put the match away early. Ueno however was able to break out of the move and the match went on its usual pace from there. BURNING picked apart The 37KAMIINA by getting rid of MAO, cutting off Ueno and then focusing all of their attacks on Shunma Katsumata from that point onward. Jun Akiyama slammed him down in position for Yusuke Okada to hit a Diving Headbutt. Endo then pinned Katsumata with the Burning Star Press after the Swivel Torture Rack Bomb. After the match Endo told Ueno it is the champion’s responsibility to have a strong sense of self worth. On 1st May he will prove that his own beliefs are stronger than Ueno’s.
Eruption got to see first hand that HARASHIMA is in good form going into their tag match on 1st May. HARASHIMA said he cannot wait to fight Kazusada Higuchi again because he is still feeling his Chops from the match. HARASHIMA is firing on all cylinders so he is very excited to team with Hikaru Sato against Eruption at Yokohama Budokan. Meanwhile Higuchi confirmed that he, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani are the trio entering the tournament for the vacant KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. He wants to make sure that all members of Eruption are active and successful together.
Genki Horiguchi’s big appearance in DDT was spoiled when the match began and ended in the middle of his entrance before he could even make it to the ring. Horiguchi tried to take the result in his stride because he gets this is DDT and nobody in DRAGONGATE acts this way besides Kono Mama Ichikawa. But he couldn’t let it go and asked everyone to let him do his entrance again and then have a rematch. The match restarted in the middle of his entrance again but this time he made it to the ring in time to prevent another quick finish. However now he was doing a full match that meant he had to go through Pheromones. Luckily for him he pressed Antonio Honda face first into Danshoku Dieno’s butt before pinning him with his signature Backslide. Kazuki Hirata thanked him after the match and asked to dance with him. He explained that his ring skills improved after dancing with Susumu Yokosuka so dancing with Horiguchi will improve them even more! Horiguchi agreed and danced wearing the Hirata GO! glasses. Toru Owashi told him backstage that nothing that happened today is anything to be ashamed of. He promised if Horiguchi does get in trouble with his office then he will ask Sanshiro Takagi to take some of the responsibility.
In the opening match Chris Brookes sent a message to Jun Akiyama by pushing the referee Tomomitsu Matsunaga into Yuya Koroku. He then followed up by giving Koroku the Exploder Suplex before finishing him off with the Octopus Stretch. The Exploder Suplex was done on purpose but Brookes swears the referee push was an accident. Akiyama took the message and repeated his view on the matter. Treating the referee that way is dangerous and if Daisuke Kiso is in charge of the upcoming KO-D Tag Team Titles match he will risk getting injured. However if Yukinori Matsui will be the official then it’s not as much of a problem because Akiyama thinks he is tough enough to handle it.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR ’22”, 24/04/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
205 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Yuki Aino defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Venus DDT (8:18).
2. Rika Tatsumi defeated Kaya Toribami with the Figure 4 Leg Lock (8:00).
3. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Yuki Kamkifuku & Haruna Neko when Suzume pinned Neko with the Ring A Bell (12:16).
4. Hyper Misao defeated Raku with a Modified Chicken Wing Face Lock (7:02).
5. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku when Itoh submitted Harajuku with the Itoh Punish (11:23).
6. Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Moka Miyamoto defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Yuki Arai when Noa pinned Mizuki with the Rotating Foot Hold (11:39).
The Magical Sugar Rabbits took a rare direct loss in the main event when Hikari Noa pinned Mizuki under dubious circumstances. The blue turnbuckle pad was loosened up at some point during the match and Nao Kakuta pulled it off right when Noa threw Mizuki into the corner. Mizuki hit the exposed turnbuckle face first and was pinned with a roll up aftarward. Yuka Sakazaki responded badly to the result and attacked Free WiFi with the corner pad after the match. When MagiRabi & Yuki Arai left, Free WiFi laughed over how mad Sakazaki was. They also encouraged Moka Miyamoto not to let her guard down just because they won today. Free WiFi also understood that the audience were expecting MagiRabi to close out the show today with their usual “Happy Happy” catchphrase, so they had to think of their own cute catchphrase on the spot. They decided on “Denpa Ryoko (Clear Radio Waves) Bibibibi!”
After a while away from each other, Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh are back on the same page as tag team. Yamashita wonders if keeping some distance from Itoh every now and then is the key to make 121000000 successful. Itoh agrees because she once heard that time spent not seeing each other is what nurtures love. Yamashita hasn’t stopped smiling since she found out she will wrestle against Hikaru Shida and she sees how meaningful it is for Miyamoto to team with her. Itoh wants to beat Shida so she can influence AEW and the world. She does not have any martial arts experience but she has a black belt in cuteness!
Recently on Twitter Raku has been doing a project comparing DDT wrestlers to their train counterparts. Hyper Misao asked her to figure out what kind of train she is and Raku picked the Green Giant train from China. Misao did not like that answer because she wanted to be the Hayabusa Express. She used today’s match as an excuse to take her frustration out on Raku over it.

WRESTLE UNIVERSE

1. King Of Street Wrestling – Final – Nagano Kawanakajima Battleground Site: Chris Brookes defeated Abdullah Kobayashi with a Diving Senton from the Ladder (20:55).
The King Of Street Wrestling Final took place over in the Senkgoku Era battlefield of Kawanakajima in Nagano. A fitting place for two warriors to have their final showdown. Chris Brookes was spotted first praying at a shrine before putting on full body armor made out of cardboard. He walked over to the starting area where Abdullah Kobayashi was there waiting for him in his own cardboard armor. The duel began with a clash and off they went into the battlefield.
Brookes got the upper hand when he tied Kobayashi up with a rope and rolled him down a hill. Kobayashi fought back by shoving grass into his opponent’s face before knocking him into a nearby stream. They fought their way over to a playground and took it easy on each other because there were children nearby. Once they moved away from the playground they got violent again. Kobayashi grabbed some splintered wood and scraped it over Brookes’s face. He then placed Brookes on a dolly and rolled him down a hill into a castle of chairs!
The deciding moment came when Kobayashi placed Brookes onto a pile of plastic boxes. He went for the Bakachinga Elbow but crashed through the boxes by himself after Brookes rolled out of the way. Brookes climbed up a nearbyy ladder and hit a Diving Senton onto his opponent’s back. That was enough for the three count making Brookes the King Of Street Wrestling! Kobayashi congratulated Brookes and handed him the trophy. The two celebrated together to close out the tournament.

DDT “DDT FREE -APRIL-”, 22/04/2022
Shinjuku FACE
353 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
0. Dark Match: Soma Takao defeated Yuki Ishida with the Official Endless Waltz (4:52).
1. Special Tag Match: Shishamo Power & Naomi Yoshimura defeated Akito & Yukio Naya when Power pinned Akito with La Magistral Cradle (10:36).
2. Saki Akai & Maya Yukihi defeated Antonio Honda & Kazuki Hirata when Yukihi pinned Hirata with the Snowstorm (10:51).
3. KANON defeated Toui Kojima with the Just Cobra Twist (6:21).
4. HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari by Disqualification when Imanari attacked the referee (12:03).
5. DAMNATION T.A Vs Eruption!: Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani when Sasaki pinned Okatani with a School Boy (10:18).
6. Special Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata defeated Asuka & Yuji Hino when MAO pinned Asuka with an Oklahoma Roll (17:04).
7. Road To MEGA MAX BUMP 2022! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi defeated Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku by TKO when Ueno used a Sleeper Hold on Endo (5:08).
Has Tetsuya Endo been taking Yuki Ueno too lightly all this time? The main event match between BURNING and The 37KAMIINA only lasted five minutes when Ueno quickly gave Endo the WR then choked him out with a Torso Sleeper Hold. He didn’t want to insult Endo afterwards for letting his guard down even though Endo has done nothing but insult him for weeks now. However Ueno had to tell Endo he does not have the determination of a champion! On 1st May Ueno promises to win the KO-D Openweight Title so he can carry DDT on his back as a great champion while Konosuke Takeshita represents the company overseas.
The match was so short that it didn’t give CDK or Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada enough time to test each other out. Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi acted like they were tired anyway because they are double tag champions. The hard work is worth it because their dream is to have title defences in Thailand and tour across Southeast Asia. Akiyama sees the positive side of the match going short because it means he didn’t have to watch CDK cheat or get the referee physically involved again. He is concerned they could get somebody like Daisuke Kiso injured if they continue to make him do wrestling moves against his will (he thinks Yukinori Matsui could tough it out though).
After Asuka humiliated MAO at the press conference a few days ago, MAO turned the tables by pinning her in their tag match. The result happened after Yuji Hino missed a Lariat aimed for MAO and turned Asuka inside out with it by mistake. MAO then rolled up Asuka for the win. MAO complained about being pinned with the Michinoku Driver a few weeks agon and then becoming famous among stiletto fetishists when Asuka stepped on him at the press conference. Today’s result makes him very happy and he repeated his threat to beat Asuka in 3 minutes and 70 seconds when the DDT Universal Title is on the line! Shunma Katsumata later corrected him because that would make it 4 minutes and 10 seconds.
Daisuke Sasaki was in a good enough mood to give everyone a hint about DAMNATION T.A’s new member showing up on 1st May. Maybe he is in the venue today? Maybe he just left Japan to go to America? Maybe it is Hideki Okatani actually doing something to change his life instead of just dying his hair red! If you think the person next to you is your friend, he will betray you and join DAMNATION T.A on 1st May!
This time a Pheromones match ended by disqualification instead of the entire match being called off. Danshoku Dieno knows Hisaya Imabayashi was not here today so Pheromones went as lewd as they could knowing the GM was watching the show from home powerless to stop them. Yumehito Imanari filmed his camera as close to Yuki Iino’s backside as possible for example. Dieno said Imabayashi should record his tearful apology video as soon as possible because this is all his fault!
KANON’s journey through the DDT wrestlers of his generation is leaving him with some scars. Toui Kojima chopped his chest raw but a Back Drop from KANON was used to set up his signature Cobra Twist for the victory.
Maya Yukihi is fitting in really well with DDT. She poked Antonio Honda in the eyes with Gongitsune and had Kazuki Hirata beaten with a Mexican Stretch until Honda tripped and accidentally placed the Hirata GO! Glasses onto her face. Yukihi experienced the power surge of Hirata’s dance and went wild on everyone, including Saki Akai. She used the momentum to pin Hirata with the Snowstorm.
The return of Shishamo Power (looking a little bit smaller than the last time he was in the ring) had him & Naomi Yoshimura defeat the meat eating team of Akito & Yukio Naya. He was attacked by the sore losers after the match when suddenly another masked wrestler ran out and rescued him. The masked wrestler introduced himself as Unagi Mask from Shibushi City. The two joined forces and challenged the meat eaters to a match on 8th May.
The vacant KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles will be rewarded to the winners of a 4 team tournament held throughout May. The previous champions DAMNATION T.A do not like being stripped of the belts but they are entering with their mystery wrestler taking the injured Minoru Fujita’s place. DISASTER BOX and Eruption are also entering teams. The final trio taking part are Akito, Hikaru Machida & Thanomsak Toba. Akito saw Machida’s matches in the King Of Street Wrestling tournament and thinks he has a lot of potential to do pro wrestling inside the ring. Machida doesn’t know any wrestling moves but is confident to challenge pro wrestlers with his kickboxing ability. Toba is one of the few pro wrestlers to compete wearing boxing gloves and never considered making Machida his successor until he heard the idea.
Even though Imabayashi was absent from the show he did send a statement to be read out before the matches began. He has appointed Pokotan as the Iron Man Retrieval Captain. Pokotan has been ordered to win back the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Shinichiro Kawamatsu!

Man, DDT helps out ONLY WE by co-promoting a few shows with them and they end up in the middle of a faction war! HARASHIMA sided with ONLY WE in the main event while Daisuke Sasaki teamed with their rivals from PERON GRANDES. The matchup led to Sasaki facing off with Yuji Hino with their past in DAMNATION together still fresh on their minds. Meanwhile Shogun Okamoto & Akira Raijin fought dirty whenever they could with plenty of ringside brawling and chair attacks. In the end however Quiet Storm fought from behind and with the help of his teammates, pinned Raijin with the 50cm Arm Lariat.
After the match Sasaki & Okamoto attacked ONLY WE with chairs until Yukio Naya ran into the ring for the rescue. Storm challenged Okamoto to a No DQ 6-Man Tag Match between ONLY WE and PERON GRANDES on 5th June when DDT and ONLY WE hold their next show in Chiba together. It will be Hino, Storm & Naya against Okamoto, Raijin and third member of their unit.
Tetsuya Endo and Yuki Ueno were stuck fighting outside the ring while their trios match reached its conclusion. Yusuke Okada picked up the win for his team and declared that BURNING will be holding both the KO-D Openweight Title and KO-D Tag Team Titles at the end of the Yokohama Budokan show on 1st May. On The 37KAMIINA side, everyone was frustrated with the loss as they move onto life without Konosuke Takeshita. According to Ueno, Takeshita left Japan this afternoon.
KANON is quickly learning that wrestling in DDT is not always a walk in the park (not literally in this case but there’s plenty of time for that yet). Despite his size advantage he had his struggles wrestling against Akito & Shunma Katsumata even though he ended up being on the winning team with Naya. What KANON learned coming out of the match is to become more ambitious otherwise he won’t rise above everyone else in DDT anytime soon.
A fired up Hideki Okatani tried picking a fight with Naomi Yoshimura but ended up having Yuki Ishida wanting a go at himself instead. Okatani even got Hiroshi Yamato mad by making fun of the seaweed he likes to sell at his merch stand. Good thing he had the rest of Eruption there to watch his back.
Everyone was given a scary warning when Danshoku Dieno said that Yuki Iino was not wearing anything underneath his wrestling gear today. The Iyasareru came up with a smart idea to tape his straps to his shoulders to prevent him from pulling them down. Unfortunately Iino eventually found the power to free himself from the tape and his costume. That led to Pheromones taking the match out of control, Hisaya Imabayashi calling it off and getting publicly executed for his troubles.

Marika Kobashi has called time on her wrestling career in Tokyo Joshi Pro. While it is not a full on retirement from pro wrestling, she wants to focus on other priorities for the remainder of her college life. So who knows, maybe this won’t be the last time we see her in the squared circle again somewhere. Her final match was a special 1 Vs 20 Handicap match with the goal for either side to win three falls. The first fall began with Kobashi taking on Shoko Nakajima. Soon Raku was tagged in and her Goodnight Express spot ended up with the entire team of 20 all piling on top of Kobashi to pin her. In the second fall, the team launched a Train Attack on Kobashi. Tetsuya Koda was forced by Yuka Sakazaki to join in. Kobashi cut him off with a kick and pinned him with the Bakachinga Elbow but it didn’t count. Raku instead got involved again and used Kobashi’s signature submission hold the Front Neck Lock against her to secure the second fall. The third fall ended up being the final one when Miyu Yamashita pinned Kobashi with the Attitude Adjustment.
After the match Kobashi was given gifts and bouquets from the roster. She said when she first joined TJPW she didn’t know how to interact with everyone. She hit her walls but pro wrestling was always there to support her. It is what made her into the strong and affectionate person she is today. She reminded everyone her decision is to graduate, not to retire, because she has a desire to move onto new things that are not pro wrestling. She hopes these new experiences will make her a more wonderful pro wrestler and that some day she can meet everyone in TJPW again. She made a promise to beat Abdullah Kobayashi so neither of them can retire until it happens.
Today’s preview match between Shoko Nakajima and Hyper Misao saw the upcoming challenger get the better of the champion. Misao did so by attacking Nakajima with the Princess Of Princess Title belt! Misao grabbed the title and posed with it during her pre-bell ambush, then later used it as a weapon after a ref bump. She took out Nakajima with the Hypami Returns and used the same move on Arisu Endo to win the match. Misao thinks Nakajima’s upcoming visit to England is not an excursion but a desertion. Today’s win is good for Misao because she believes it sends out the message that the title will belong to her sooner or later. Nakajima said she always has fun whenever she teams with Misao but being on the other end of her pranks and tactics in the ring makes her angry.
The 9th annual Tokyo Princess Cup will began with three consecutive shows at Ryogoku KFC Hall on the 16th, 17th and 18th July. It will move over to Shinjuku FACE on the 23rd, then the Quarter Finals will take place in Otemachi Mitsui Hall on the 31st. The semi-finals are at Korakuen Hall on 13th August and the final will be in the same venue on the 14th.
