2. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 1: Kouki Iwasaki defeated Nobuhiro Shimatani with a Back Drop Hold (11:40).
3. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 1: Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Seiya Morohashi with a Modified Haneorigatame (15:18).
4. Ganjo Special Tag Match: Yuna Manase & Moeka Haruhi defeated HARUKAZE & YuuRI when Manase pinned YuuRI with the Suzuki Dynamic (10:28).
5. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 1: Tatsuhito Takaiwa defeated Tyson Maeguchi with the Death Valley Bomb (7:50).
6. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 1: Ken Ohka defeated Shota with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (15:24).
7. Ganbare☆Climax 2021 – Round 1: Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Keisuke Ishii with a Cradle (2:31).

After three years away the Ganbare☆Climax is back with a bang. The tournament favourite has been eliminated in Round 1! Keisuke Ishii was unexpectedly Cradled by Shinichiro Tominaga two minutes into the match and was shockingly pinned for the three count. Tominaga’s celebration was cut short when an angry Ishii gave him the Double Arm DDT after the match. It shook up Tominaga so much that he thought he lost the match when he gave the show closing speech. When he shook it off and remembered he won, he then said he is now the top candidate to win the Ganbare☆Climax. He’s going to win the Spirit Of Ganbare Title and draw a thick, clear line on his somewhat vague wrestling career. That way he will be proud of being a pro wrestler, be popular with office ladies and get married four times!

Shota was accompanied by Soma Takao for his opening round match against Ken Ohka. After a back and forth match, Ohka kicked out of the Gannosuke Clutch and hit Shota with the Fire Spear for a nearfall. Ohka got the win in the end with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Takao helped bring Shota to the back afterwards. He explained that she showed up to support Shota because they are “classmates” from the same generation. Ohka moves on to face Tetsuhiro Kuroda in Round 2. Ohka was once a ringside attendant for Kuroda when he wrestled in DDT. He remembers accidentally stepping on Kuroda’s glasses and breaking them. Kuroda told him not to worry and forgave him. Ever since then Ohka has seen Kuroda like a god!

Recently retired kickboxer Tyson Maeguchi is trying his hand at pro wrestling as a representative of the Ibushi Wrestling Institute. He was ultimately overwhelmed by Tatsuhito Takaiwa, ending with the Death Valley Bomb. Takaiwa was pleased by Maeguchi’s performance, particularly the Dropkick he threw at him. The match was more about Takaiwa teaching Maeguchi in the ring. When Takaiwa started wrestling he learned it is about feelings, not technique because you cannot lose with feelings. He hopes to have gotten that lesson across to Maeguchi. Takaiwa moves on to the next round to fight Mizuki Watase.

Shuichiro Katsumura’s tournament got off to a good start by eliminating Seiya Morohashi. His grappling skills was too much for Morohashi to fight against and he was tangled into submission. After the match Katsumura got into a standoff with his 2nd Round opponent Kouki Iwasaki at ringside. Katsumura pushed him away and Iwasaki Headbutted him in response before things got broken up.

Iwasaki made it out of the 1st Round by beating Nobuhiro Shimatani in a DNA confrontation. Iwasaki cut down his oppoenent with High Kicks and pinned him with a Back Drop Hold. After winning the match, Iwasaki stuck around ringside to watch Katsumura Vs Morohashi which led to the post-match meeting with Katsumura.

The tournament kicked off with the last winner Yumehito Imanari winning against Baliyan Akki. He blocked the Namaste Press and scored the pin with a Lou Thesz Press. Imanari praised Akki for his performance but Akki gave him a Headbutt to take out his frustration at losing. He waited three and a half years to take part in the Ganbare☆Climax so getting eliminated in the very first match left him very upset.

The show began with an announcement that Shinjiro Otani is now the on-site director for Ganbare☆Pro! He still intends to wrestle again when his injuries are healed and had hoped to recover in time to enter the Ganbare☆Climax. Until then, this new role gives him a reason to continue working at Ganpro shows while he is out of action. His advice for the wrestlers entering the tournament is they need to be strong, passionate, hardworking and human to win. He wants the Ganbare☆Climax to cheer up everybody who sees it.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Gatoh Move Pro Wrestling Offer Match: Yuna Mizumori defeated Sayaka with the Warrior’s Return (8:07).
2. Special Tag Match: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase defeated Masayuki Mitomi & Jun Tonsho when Watase pinned Mitomi with the Back Drop (11:25).
3. YuuRI “Glamorous Valkyrie” Trial Single Match Round 1: Asuka defeated YuuRI with a Back Spin Kick (8:21).
4. Ganjo Special Mixed Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii & Ann Cham defeated Ken Ohka & Miyako Matsumoto when Ishii pinned Matsumoto with the Hidoiwaza (14:00).
5. Secret Captain’s Fall Elimination 6-Woman Tag Match: Yuu Yamagata, Makoto & HARUKAZE (C) defeated Yuna Manase (C), Moeka Haruhi & Cherry (16:01).
5a. HARUKAZE (C) eliminated Cherry by Ring Out (8:13).
5b. Yuna Manase eliminated Makoto by Ring Out (9:03).
5c. Yuu Yamagata eliminated Moeka Haruhi by Ring Out (12:10).
5d. Yuna Manase (C) eliminated Yuu Yamagata by Ring Out (13:11).
5e. HARUKAZE (C) eliminated Yuna Manase (C) with a Cradle Cutback (16:01).

The Captain’s Fall Elimination match went with an extra rule that said the captains would not be revealed until they were eliminated. Cherry and Makoto were the first two eliminations. Moeka Haruhi tried to sacrifice herself by holding onto Yuu Yamagata on the apron. Yuna Manase charged into both of them but only Haruhi fell to the ground, getting eliminated in the process. However, Haruhi grabbed Yamagata again and pulled her to the floor to take her out of the match. The referee never called an end so it was concluded that the final two wrestlers Manase and HARUKAZE were the team captains. Manase gave HARUKAZE the Suzuki Dynamic but during the pinfall, HARUKAZE rolled through the momentum and pinned Manase for the 3 count out of nowhere.

HARUKAZE celebrated getting to beat Manase for the second time in a row. She said Manase has tunnel vision and needs to expand her horizons. Otherwise she will never be able to beat Yamagata. Then Yamagata got to speak. She admitted Ganbare☆Joshi has gotten more interesting than the last time she was here. But she thinks GanJo are all idiots for thinking she was going to be the team captain. This is a GanJo ring so it only makes sense for HARUKAZE to be the captain. The team left Manase and Haruhi to deal with the defeat.

Manase was certain she was going to win today but HARUKAZE beat her for the second time in a row. There was something different about her compared to when they used to team together. Maybe Manase is weak. Haruhi tried to motivate Manase and told her to stay standing no matter what. She set a goal to defeat Yuu Yamagata. Haruhi herself fought with all her might to make sure their team would win today. It wasn’t enough but Haruhi isn’t embarrassed about it. As she was saying this, Manase started losing her concentration and began to mumble about her parents and grandparents. Cherry brought Haruhi backstage to calm down, leaving Manase alone in the ring.

Suddenly Saki Akai made her entrance and stood in the ring with Manase. She came to see what Ganbare☆Joshi was all about and this is what she gets? Where is the Yuna Manase who kept standing up when Akai knocked her down over and over in DDT last month? That’s the Yuna Manase who Akai and the fans want to see. If Manase was at her most exciting chasing after Akai then Akai wants to keep an eye on her so she won’t run out of steam. Manase said the next GanJo show is happening on 7th November and she wants to team with Akai there. Akai accepted the offer. Backstage Yamagata was told the news and she replied she doesn’t know who Saki Akai is.

The start to YuuRI’s trial series saw the newcomer lose to Asuka. At first Asuka was dismissive of her opponent but it was intended to bring out the fire in her. She told YuuRI “good job” after the match but was left feeling frustrated by the whole experience. While Asuka does appreciate YuuRI showing respect to her, she still thought her effort in the ring was too amateurish. Maybe it isn’t YuuRI’s fault because Asuka wants something interesting to do in Ganbare☆Pro and hasn’t been able to find it lately. YuuRI meanwhile found out from Ken Ohka who her second trial opponent will be. She will face Maya Yukihi on 7th November.

Mizuki Watase got a big boost of encouragement by getting the win in his tag match. He & Shigehiro Irie gave Masayuki Mitomi a Double Stomp/Tombstone combo and Watase then finished him off with the Back Drop. Watase said Irie is entrusting him with everything to win the Ganbare☆Climax because Irie himself is not entering it. Today is just the beginning and Watase believes he is in the best position to win the tournament.

1. FUMA & Yusuke Kubo defeated Takato Nakano & Lil Kraken when FUMA submitted Kraken with a Stretch Muffler (6:05).
2. Gouma & Yasu Urano defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato when Urano pinned Kazato with a Diving Body Press (6:16).
3. SAGAT defeated Masato Kamino with the Goregrind (9:17).
4. UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Toru Owashi, Shuji Kondo & Takuya Sugawara defeated Isami Kodaka, Daiki Shimomura & Yuko Miyamoto when Kondo pinned Shimomura with the King Kong Lariat (12:41).
*Aagan Iisou become the 69th UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Champions!
5. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) when Oosugi pinned Abe with the Tsuki no Ishi (17:24).
*Astronauts fail in V3. Speed Of Sounds become the 5th IRON FIST Tag Champions!
6. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Takumi Tsukamoto (c) with the V Slider (19:57).
*Takumi Tsukamoto fails in V7. Ryota Nakatsu becomes the 16th Union MAX Champion!

Ryota Nakatsu is now a two time Union MAX Champion after beating Takumi Tsukamoto. There was a High Kick in the match that Tsukamoto said blew away all of the memories he had since waking up this morning. The result gives the former champion mixed emotions. He is both extremely disappointed he lost and extremely happy to see Nakatsu as the champion again. He told Nakatsu to make good use of the MAX Title because he will win it back some day. Nakatsu wants to beat Tsukamoto’s reign of six defences so will aim to make seven. SAGAT came out and asked to be the first challenger. It will be Sparky Vs Sparky for the MAX Title!

Speed Of Sounds reclaims the IRON FIST Tag Titles from Astronauts! Teamwork was the key to this result. Tsutomu Oosugi praised his partner Banana Senga for being there at the right time, every time. He said if you ever want to win tag team championships, you have to have Senga as your tag partner. Over on the Astronauts side, Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura agreed that they lost because they wrestled more like two individuals instead of a team. However, Abe thinks Astronauts are still one of the top tag teams around. It’s up to them to start from the beginning again and improve each other as a team.

The UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles now belong to Toru Owashi, Shuji Kondo & Takuya Sugawara. It’s Aagan Iisou reunited! Owashi said the belts mean a lot to them because they were used by Toryumon and El Dorado when they were there. Aagan Iisou now claim management rights over the championship and where it will go next is up to them. Sugawara wrestled in BASARA for the first time and likes what he sees. He’s sure he will show up here again periodically. Owashi also praised Daiki Shimomura for how he has grown in BASARA. Isami Kodaka shares similar thoughts, feeling regret for Shimomura losing his title belt. He and Yuko Miyamoto were also happy to find out Minoru Fujita was in the venue to watch today’s show.

Yasu Urano carried the Fujita Pro Wrestling School flag to the ring for his entrance. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi moved around weirdly on his feet during the match and blamed it on gout. He later turned the match into a singing contest against Gouma.

The shaky mystery of who is behind the Lil Kraken mask is cracking even further. His tag partner Takato Nakano accidentally shouted out “Tetsuo!” when he reached out for a tag during the match.

-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Akito defeated HARASHIMA (c) with a School Boy (7:21 pm).
*Akito becomes the 1,519th champion.

Today really is the end of Junretsu. Their final match as a unit brought together all five members with the injured Makoto Oishi working the show as a ring announcer. The unit also entered to “Kimi ga Soba ni Irukara” by the pop band Junretsu. Sadly they fell to The 37KAMIINA in the main event. MAO pulled out an Avalanche version of the Michinoku Driver II on Mizuki Watase to get the victory. After the match, everyone in Junretsu bowed to the audience in every direction. Jun Akiyama encouraged the other members to make the most out of what they learned and move on to new paths. MAO brought up Junretsu beating The 37KAMIINA back at the DRAMATIC SURVIVOR tournament. MAO was the one who got pinned in that match too. Shunma Katsumata didn’t want to end the show on a sad note so he asked Junretsu’s fans to keep supporting them as they begin their next steps.

MJ Paul showed that he is much meaner than Mad Paulie by attacking Keigo Nakamura with a chair. Daisuke Sasaki threw the same chair at HARASHIMA allowing Paul free reign to pin Nakamura with the Death Valley Bomb.

The D-Ou Grand Prix preview today was the tag match featuring Tetsuya Endo, Kazusada Higuchi and Chris Brookes. Higuchi and Brookes are in the same block so they got an early chance to wrestle each other here. Endo pinned Yukio Naya to win. Afterwards Endo & Higuchi told each other they will meet in the D-Ou final.

Soma Takao surprised everyone by shaking hands with his opponents before the opening match.

An autograph session was held after the show and Antonio Honda caused a scene. First he faked a knee injury to attract the attention of HARASHIMA. Then when HARASHIMA walked over to check on him, Honda attempted to roll him up for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. HARASHIMA kicked out but then Akito gave him a School Boy and won the title. HARASHIMA wanted to chase after Akito to get the belt back but Akito told him he couldn’t abandon the autograph session while there were still fans waiting to meet him. HARASHIMA ran back to his table while Akito escaped as the new champion.

2. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Yuki Aino & Haruna Neko when Nakajima pinned Neko with an Inside Cradle (10:17).
3. Hikari Noa defeated Pom Harajuku with the Blizzard Suplex (6:10).

6. Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Moka Miyamoto defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Suzume when Itoh submitted Suzume with the Itoh Punish (15:02).

The relationship between 121000000 still contains some odd behavior but it seems to be working out for them. Maki Itoh headbutted her own tag partner Miyu Yamashita to fire her up for the match finish. After the Headbutt, the two realigned to strike Suzume with a Headbutt/Knee Strike combo. From there Suzume was put in the Itoh Punish until she gave up.

After the match Itoh stopped The Magical Sugar Rabbits from leaving. She then asked Yamashita if she can tell what Itoh wants to say right now? Yamashita was confused at first but figured it out. She wants to challenge MagiRabi for the Princess Tag Team Titles with Itoh! Yuka Sakazaki said no. Itoh then made the same challenge saying she wants to fight Sakazaki & Mizuki. This time Sakazaki said yes, which confused Yamashita even more. The title match will take place in Korakuen Hall on 25th November.

NEO Biishiki-gun are saying farewell for now. Mei Saint-Michel has been moving around so much she is starving and misses eating freshly baked French bread. Sakisama thinks things in Tokyo Joshi Pro are settling down so now would be good for NEO Biishiki-gun to go back to their home in France. She assured the audience that they will be back.

Pom Harajuku disguised herself as a camerawoman and even took pictures of Hikari Noa in the middle of their match.

The 3rd “TJPW INSPIRATION” show will be held at Shinjuku FACE on 10th December. The main event will be Magical Sugar Rabbits Vs Yuna Mizumori & SAKI, aka TropicaWild! Also on the show is Hikari Noa Vs Nao Kakuta in a Hardcore Match.

Team Abe: Fuminori Abe, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Yusuke Kubo, Akiyori Takizawa, Yasu Urano, Daiki Shimomura & Masahiro Takanashi

The Team Challenge all came down to the final round between the captains Isami Kodaka and Fuminori Abe. Since it was a No DQ match nothing was stopping wrestlers from both teams interfering lumberjack style. The match soon turned to chaos with the ring filled with wrestlers fighting each other. Abe won out in the end when he pinned Kodaka while all of his team piled on top of them.

The X member of Abe’s team turned out to be Masahiro Takanashi! This was Takanashi’s first match in BASARA ever since he injured his ankle against Abe back in March 2020. Takanashi had orange streamers thrown for his entrance which made him wonder if his surprise appearance was leaked online before the show.

A mystery masked wrestler going by the name Lil’ Kraken appeared during the show. He spoke with a familiar Tochigi accent and said he will wrestle at the Korakuen Hall show on 24th October.

6. Double Main Event – Special Singles Match To Commemorate Yukinori Matsui’s 25th Anniversary Of His Debut Two Years Later: Kikutaro defeated Kuishinbo Kamen with the Hawaiian Prison Lock (16:53).
7. Double Main Event – Special Tag Match ~OSAKA THE BEST~: Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno defeated Shigehiro Irie & Naomi Yoshimura when Ueno pinned Yoshimura with the BME (25:57).

The main event was put together to deliver a message to the world. “OSAKA THE BEST!” Shigehiro Irie left Yuki Ueno beaten with the Beast Bomber, leaving Naomi Yoshimura to hit his own Lariat expecting to win the match with it. Ueno kicked out and Konosuke Takeshita got in for the rescue. Together they smashed Yoshimura with a Knee Strike & Dropkick combo. Ueno kept standing and threw another Lariat but Ueno knocked him down with a Dropkick and pinned him with the BME. Ueno thanked the fans for coming to celebrate Yukinori Matsui’s party today. He then passed the microphone over to Yoshimura which confused his former tag partner. When he got it together, Yoshimura said he was disappointed to lose the match but he is now a KO-D Tag Team Champion with HARASHIMA. He is in the same D-Ou Grand Prix block as Ueno so they will meet again soon and he won’t lose to him in singles matches. Irie also congratulated Matsui before leaving the ring. Takeshita said all four wrestlers grew up in Osaka watching Osaka Pro and they will always think Osaka is the best from the bottom of their hearts.

Matsui’s big party needed clowns and there are no two who have a bigger history with him than Kuishinbo Kamen and Kikutaro. They made their first appearances early, interrupting Matsui’s opening speech and beating him up so they could finish the call themselves. The match was a greatest hits of their comedy spots with something new added to the end. Kikutaro tricked Matsui into picking Kamen up in a Power Bomb position. Kikutaro then tripped Matsui so he Power Bombed Kamen onto the canvas. The move only got a 2 count but Kikutaro put Kamen in the Hawaiian Prison Lock to make him give up. Kikutaro congratulated Matsui on his 25th Anniversary even though it’s two years too late. He also said he is proud of their comedy style and it has a good foundation. They will continue to joke around so everyone can laugh, smile and be happy.

There was no funny business in the match before that though. Magnitude Kishiwada & Inaba no Buffalo were here for a fight. They attacked Yusuke Okada with chairs and put him through a table, then attacked Jun Akiyama with the table’s remains. The Junretsu team survived the onslaught and got the win in the end. Akiyama threw Buffalo with the Exploder Suplex and Okada got the pin with the Tricolor. The bell ringing didn’t stop Akiyama and Kishiwada from fighting after the match was done.

HARASHIMA asked Daisuke Sekimoto if he remembers a match they had way back in 2005 for a independent show called NGB (New Generation Blood). The show also had Yuji Hino on it and the three of them teaming up today brought back memories of that show for HARASHIMA. Sekimoto doesn’t remember it. For Tetsuya Endo the match reminded him he still can’t lift Hino for the Torture Rack Bomb yet. Endo also told Kazusada Higuchi he is expecting to see him in the D-Ou final.

A chairshot from MJ Paul to Masahiro Takanashi gave Daisuke Sasaki the opening to put his opponent in the Crossface Lock. Sasaki’s comments backstage included saying Chris Brookes should pick a better tag team partner. He also said Takanashi should quit and go back to the countryside because he is not talented.

The manager of Fresh Ariyama that sponsored the show said he is grateful to see smiles on everyone’s faces today. Both Ganpro and the sponsor would like to hold this show once or twice a year from now on.

6. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Hikari Noa & Marika Kobashi when Yamashita pinned Kobashi with the Attitude Adjustment (13:27).

It looks like 121000000 is going to be okay. Maybe. They were victorious in the main event and had little to no setbacks while teaming together again. Miyu Yamashita thanked the fans for supporting her afterwards and said she was able to defend the Princess Of Princess Title at “WRESTLE PRINCESS II” because of them. Maki Itoh gave her a cold gaze while Yamashita continued speaking about winning the match. Itoh asked her how could she talk about that in front of the loser. Can’t she think about other people’s feelings? Yamashita says she likes Itoh but does she really mean it or just saying it because it’s good business? Itoh brought up Yamashita posing with Jun Akiyama at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021” and never inviting her to join in. She could have been on the Shukan Puroresu cover with them! Yamashita responded that she loves Itoh and shouted it out so everyone could hear her. Itoh became a little overwhelmed and said thank you. They squabbled over it again backstage during their post-show interview. When they calmed down again, Itoh said her new goal is to get even stronger so she can challenge Yamashita for the title again. Yamashita promised to hold onto the title so it can happen.

There was one message DISASTER BOX wanted the everyone to know after the DRAMATIC SURVIVOR tournament. Never say this unit is done for ever again! The proof of DISASTER BOX’s renewed strength was shown in the main event when HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura won the KO-D Tag Team Titles! The team were at full strength with Yoshimura kicking out of the MADMAX and then HARASHIMA kicking out of the Firebird Splash from Shunma Katsumata. Yoshimura set up 37KAMIINA’s downfall by giving Konosuke Takeshita a Back Drop. HARASHIMA followed up with the Somato to wipe him out of action. Yoshimura then turned his attention to Katsumata and pinned him with the Throwaway Power Bomb.

Yoshimura excitedly shouted “I won!” and passed the microphone over to HARASHIMA. He thanked everyone for supporting them and then thanked Yoshimura for a great performance. Today is proof that DISASTER BOX is still strong and now HARASHIMA is looking forward to fighting Takeshita in the D-Ou Grand Prix. Yoshimura is in a different block but he also told Takeshita to expect a KO-D Openweight Title challenge from him in the future. The rest of DISASTER BOX entered the ring and they all promised to aim for the top in DDT.

Being a babyface is a tough job. Daisuke Sasaki learned that lesson today. His opponent Isami Kodaka entered the ring wearing a Fujita Pro Wrestling School in support of Minoru Fujita as well as Fujita’s Sento Minzoku tail. Fujita was Sasaki’s original challenger for the DDT Universal Title but Fujita fell ill with Covid and currently cannot wrestle. Sasaki’s commitment to being a babyface won through though and he submitted Kodaka with the Crossover Facelock. They hugged and shook hands after the match. Sasaki even said he would like to show up in BASARA if Kodaka ever wants him to.

Sasaki continued his babyface promo until he started stuttering and losing track. He couldn’t do it anymore. He’s no babyface, he’s a crazy guy! He quits being a babyface! DAMNATION was destroyed and he will never forgive the one responsible for breaking the hearts of every DAMNATION fan. Sasaki is forming a new unit called DAMNATION T.A. (Total Addiction)! He called down Tetsuya Endo & Soma Takao to the ring but when Takao rolled in, Sasaki immediately Super Kicked him. Sasaki doesn’t want any of them because they’re the ones responsible for DAMNATION’s demise! Takao fought back but got a Low Blow from Sasaki. Then Mad Paulie, or somebody who resembles Mad Paulie came out and floored Takao with a Lariat. Sasaki introduced everyone to the new Paulie he found deep in the forests of Nerima. It’s the cruel slaughter machine MJ Paul (The MJ stands for Murder Junky)! Sasaki promised that DAMNATION T.A. will bring destruction and chaos from here on out! Backstage Takao swore revenge on the two of them.

The D-Ou Grand Prix preview match went off to an awkward start with Endo and Yuji Hino beginning the match against each other. Endo would attempt to put Hino in a Torture Rack but couldn’t pull it off. Yuki Ueno & MAO worked together in an effort to break down Kazusada Higuchi. Ueno was taken care of with a dive from Chris Brookes. Back in the ring, MAO got on Higuchi’s nerves and tried to tangle him up in pinning holds. That ended with Higuchi catching MAO with a Lariat and pinning him with the Brain Claw Slam. After the match Endo said he will win the Grand Prix and he will also beat Hino with the Torture Rack Bomb on 3rd November. Hino replied they are enemies now that DAMNATION is gone and he will beat Endo with the Fuckin’ BOMB instead. Higuchi, Brookes and Ueno also staked their claim to win the tournament. MAO too but he collapsed while he gave his speech since he was still feeling beaten up.

The Pheromones match went to another no contest. Not even Sanshiro Takagi bringing out the kettlebell that injured him made much of a difference. Toru Owashi made a brave stand to protect Takao but Phermones easily ignored him and attacked Takao anyway. Dansoku Dieno grabbed Takao’s steel basin and dropped it on Takagi’s head, sending him to the back to get aid. Dieno & Yuki Iino then set up a Double Hell Gate in the corner. Yumehito Imanari grabbed one of the TV cameras and threatened to get a close up on the Double Hell Gate when a furious Hisaya Imabayashi called off the match.

Pheromones grabbed Imabayashi and threw him into Iino’s backside. Takagi returned afterwards with Yusuke Okada by his side. They held out handcuffs and told Pheromones what they are doing on a live broadcast is a crime. Takagi has formed a team of ex-cops to beat Pheromones on 3rd November. It will be him, Okada and Shinya Aoki teaming together! A still bloody Aoki (more on that below) came out and said Pheromones are getting carried away. Dieno defended his side by explaining it is up to professionals like them to turn crime into entertainment! Pheromones will take you to a world you’ve never seen before!

Aoki ended up in a bloody state because Yumiko Hotta beat him up good. The DDT Extreme Title match between them was under normal pro wrestling rules but Hotta attacked Aoki with a chair kept throwing him into the security fence around ringside until she was disqualified. Hotta got on the microphone and said she is just doing her style of AJW pro wrestling and demanded a restart. Aoki agreed and the match was no No DQ but for Hotta only. This time Hotta attacked Aoki with a steel chain but when she went for the Pyramid Bomb, Aoki countered it into an Armlock to make her tap out. A brawl broke out after the match and the two of them had to be separated.

The KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles match was the first time meeting between Yoshiaki Yatsu and Jun Akiyama. Also both Team Olympian and Junretsu made claims to disband if their team lost so the match was high stakes even without the titles involved. Hiroshi Yamato did the better against Hideki Okatani by hitting him with the Cross Chop. Junretsu took control by isolating Keigo Nakamura. The tables turned when Yatsu gave Okada the Yatsugoye/Iron Knee. Junretsu regained control and hit a combination of attacks on Akito ending with Mizuki Watase in the ring with him. Akito rolled him up with the Airplane Throw to get the three count out of nowhere.

Kazuki Hirata approached Team Olympian after the match with Yoshihiko, Owashi and Antonio Honda all by his side. Hirata asked the fans if they liked his match against Yoshihiko earlier and if they should team together? In order to make this potential team come to life they need a championship so they want the 8-Man Tag Belts with Owashi & Honda! Yatsu agreed and the match will take place in Ota Ward Gymnasium on 3rd November.

But what about Junretsu? They have to live up to their promise and disband because they didn’t win the belts. Makoto Oishi confirmed it but asked if the unit could have one more match so they can leave on happier terms. Okada suggested if they win this match then Junretsu can continue. Oishi said Junretsu and The 37KAMIINA have a 6-Man Tag match in Fuji later this month. They can turn it into an 8-Man Tag and he will be there as the ring announcer so the entire Junretsu unit will all be in the same place. Okada & Okatani liked the idea but Watase was silent throughout the entire team talk.

The debuting Yuki Ishida brought the fight to Higuchi in the sumo versus sumo matchup. Higuchi stood his ground against Ishida’s attacks until the rookie threw Sumo Slaps at him into the corner. He followed up with Corner Splashes and a Sitout Spinebuster for a nearfall. Higuchi took over with a Lariat and the Oklahoma Stampede then pinned him with a Choke Slam. Higuchi shook his hand after the match. Ishida said he wants to devote himself to becoming a pro wrestler so he can some day overtake Higuchi. He also wants to be unique with his sumo style, aiming to be as strong as Kensuke Sasaki but with the speed of El Lindaman, who is closer to his size.

Three Dark Matches extended the show’s full length. Riko Kawahata made her DDT debut entering the ring with an energetic dance. She did well against Saki Akai but her big mistake was doing a Moonsault. Akai blocked it with her knees. Kawabata still had her wits about to dodge the Rookie Award but Akai followed up with a Buzzsaw Kick and applied a Triangle Choke to make her submit. Akai told Kawahata she got to understand AJW-ism from her but she was born and raised in DDT. She wants the two of them to carry their different legacies and do their best for each other from now on.

The bad blood between Hirata and Yoshihiko is now all water under the bridge. They settled their score in a singles match where Yoshihiko came out on top. The doll targeted Hirata’s arm before going for its tried and tested Reincarnation. Hirata tried to do the Viagra Driver but Yoshihiko countered it into the Reincarnation again. Hirata kicked out but his momentum was turned against him as he rolled right into an Arm Lock. Hirata gave up but swallowed his pride and shook Yoshihiko’s hand after the match. The two left the ring together shoulder to shoulder.

The trio representing ChocoPro made their promotion proud with a win in the very first match of the day. When Yuko Naya blocked Honda’s Gongitsune, Baliyan Akki lifted Masahiro Takanashi onto his shoulders to reach out and poke Naya in the eyes with his own Gongitsune. The others kept Naya & Gota Ihashi at bay while Akki pinned Yuya Koroku with the Namaste Press.
