DDT “GET ALIVE 2021 TOUR IN NAGANO”, 10/10/2021
Nagano City Museum Of Art Act Space
182 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Soma Takao defeated Keigo Nakamura with the Official Endless Waltz (8:58).
2. Kazusada Higuchi, Saki Akai & MAO defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Chris Brookes & Hideki Okatani when MAO pinned Okatani with the Michinoku Driver II (12:46).
3. Tetsuya Endo & Ilusion defeated Akito & Yuya Koroku when Endo pinned Koroku with the Swivel Torture Rack Bomb (12:51).
4. Nagano Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match – DRAGONGATE Rules: Yasushi Kanda, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Antonio Honda when Kanda pinned Honda with the Diving Anal Elbow Drop (13:27).
5. HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura defeated Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya when Yoshimura pinned Naya with a Lariat (14:05).
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs Junretsu!: Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Ueno defeated Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Mizuki Watase when Takeshita submitted Watase with the Plus Ultra (21:48).
Mizuki Watase’s homecoming didn’t go the way he wanted it to. The main event ended with him submitted to Konosuke Takeshita. He was given some kudos by Takeshita afterwards and he is doing his best. But Takeshita also pointed out that everybody in DDT is doing their best. Jun Akiyama told the rest of Junretsu that they have to be more determined. He said that according to the unit’s leader, Junretsu will disband if they don’t win the KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles on 12th October. The leader Makoto Oishi wasn’t certain he said that so Akiyama made him decide if that is the ultimatum. Oishi confirmed they will split up if they lose.
The KO-D Tag Team Title challengers HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura showed their strength as a team by beating Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya. They don’t have long to wait until they take on Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata for the belts.
The alleged big draw for this show was Yasushi Kanda. He and Toru Owashi go way back which is why Owashi wanted their tag match today to be a big occasion. He also told the production team not to play “TOKYO GO!” when Kanda was in the ring. Pheromones declared they were going to render DRAGONGATE useless which led to both teams agreeing to wrestle the match under DRAGONGATE tag rules. Kazuki Hirata tried to impress Kanda but made the mistake of putting on the Hirata Go glasses. As soon as “TOKYO GO!” hit, Kanda attacked Hirata and hit the John Woo Dropkick. He calmed down and took control of the match against Antonio Honda. After charging up his arm in Danshoku Dieno’s “Hell Gate”, Kanda pinned Honda with the Diving Anal Elbow Drop. Backstage Owashi and Kanda asked each other if they should bring Hirata over to DRAGONGATE.
Ilusion got some more ring time to prepare for the DDTeeeen!! show on 27th October. He thinks getting this extra experience while El Unicorn is absent gives him a big advantage for their match on the 27th. Tetsuya Endo gave approval to Ilusion’s comments.
Everybody on the DDT roster are still confused over Daisuke Sasaki’s sudden babyface turn. He is also studying Isami Kodaka for their DDT Universal Title match on Tuesday.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS II”, 09/10/2021
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium
914 Fans
1. Raku, Pom Harajuku & Ram Kaichow defeated Haruna Neko, Mahiro Kiryu & Kaya Toribami when Raku pinned Neko with the Doctor Yellow (10:09).
2. 3 Way Match: Nodoka Tenma defeated Rika Tatsumi and Hyper Misao when Tenma pinned Misao with the Killswitch (10:55).
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Asuka defeated Nao Kakuta & Marika Kobashi when Kamifuku pinned Kakuta with the Diving Famouser (10:30).
4. Riho & Shoko Nakajima defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Nakajima pinned Suzume with the Diving Senton (14:52).
5. Special Tag Match: Aja Kong & Moka Miyamoto defeated Miu Watanabe & Yuki Arai when Kong pinned Arai with the Diving Elbow Drop (16:03).
6. International Princess Title: Hikari Noa (c) defeated Yuki Aino with the Blizzard Suplex (11:27).
*V3 for Hikari Noa.
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel (c) when Mizuki pinned Saint-Michel with the Cutie Special (18:33).
*NEO Biishiki-gun fails in V3. The Magical Sugar Rabbits become the 9th Princess Tag Team Champions!
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) defeated Maki Itoh with the Crash Rabbit Heat (17:23).
*V3 for Miyu Yamashita.
Sadly for Maki Itoh her happy ending was just for the Tokyo Princess Cup and no further. She had a sound gameplan against Miyu Yamashita, targeting her waist to make the Itoh Punish and Itoh Deluxe more effective. She also had counters ready for the Skull Kick. However Yamashita had those counters scouted from their previous matches together and rocked her opponent with the move. Yamashita had enough respect for Itoh to know she could still fight so she allowed her the chance to get back up. Itoh used her remaining strength to duck a Buzzsaw Kick but Yamashita followed with a Sole Butt to the face and then the Crash Rabbit Heat to win the match.
Yamashita praised Itoh for becoming stronger. It’s because of her that Yamashita wanted to fight for this match in Ota Ward Gymnasium today. But the story of Yamashita and Itoh isn’t over today and neither is 121000000. The two cried and hugged each other. Itoh then stuck up her middle finger and Yamashita pressed her fist against it. Yamashita told the fans the Princess Of Princess Title is the most important treasure in her life. She will continue to defend it and make Tokyo Joshi Pro even bigger in the process!
The final moment of the show was a big announcement for the company. TJPW will run their first Sumo Hall show by themselves next year! “GRAND PRINCESS ’22” will take place on 19th March, 2022. That is the day before DDT “JUDGEMENT 2022” takes place in the same venue. Yamashita said she is happy to finally run a TJPW show there and she will definitely be the champion for it!
It took two years but The Magical Sugar Rabbits have regained the Princess Tag Team Titles from NEO Biishiki-gun! The result spoils what would have been a majestic day for the former champions. Sakisama made her entrance from a throne covered in roses with her loyal maid Mei Saint-Michel by her side. But they weren’t ready for the energy Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki brought with them. Neither was Daisuke Kiso because the referee got bumped during the match and missed Mizuki putting Saint-Michel in the Facelock. Saint-Michel used her broom to free herself and then used the same broom for a witch-style Double Knee Drop from the top rope. She then put Mizuki in the Saint-Michel submission hold but Sakazaki grabbed her partner’s hand from the ring apron and pulled her towards the ropes. In the scramble for the finish, Saint-Michel set Mizuki up for the Newton Crash but she was shaken off and thrown over with the Cutie Special. Mizuki then hit another Cutie Special for the three count.
Backstage Saint-Michel fell onto the interview table in a slump. Sakisama told her she isn’t angry over the result. In fact today she can say she is now a full-blown maid! She told her to remember the days of their beauty training. They’ve done it in the rain, the wind, the heat, the cold, all on a tightrope over a cliff. Sakisama understands her maid is working hard so she wants the fans to be grateful that they got the chance to see NEO Biishiki-gun today.
That was the only title change on the show today. The remaining championship match to talk about was Hikari Noa successfully defending the International Princess Title against Yuki Aino. Noa blocked the Venus DDT and struggled her way out of the UBV. With Aino’s big moves avoided, Noa hit her with two Super Kicks and got the pin with the Blizzard Suplex. Noa said she was more excited than nervous going into the match in such a big venue. She wants to go even bigger. Noa wonders if maybe some day she will defend the title at a TJPW show held inside the Tokyo Dome!
Miu Watanabe wasn’t able to achieve her goal of Giant Swinging Aja Kong. She did the next best thing which was to Giant Swing Moka Miyamoto into Kong’s legs to knock her down (probably not the best thing for Kong because before the match she announced on social media an upcoming leave of absence to get knee surgery). Also Watanabe was able to Body Slam Kong after some effort. Yuki Arai also did her best against the monster. That got Kong’s attention because she shouted “Nice to meet you!” to Arai before chopping her down. Together, Watanabe & Aino tried to cut down Kong with a Laserbeam/High Kick combo. But their follow up Brainbuster attempt was reversed with Kong overpowering the both of them. Kong then hit a Reverse Elbow Drop from the turnbuckles onto Arai to get the win. Miyamoto called the experience amazing. She doesn’t know if she left a mark in the match but she did her best and still enjoyed it. Kong encouraged her to become more greedy in the ring because it’s more fun to do various things as a wrestler. Kong thinks somebody will get the Giant Swing on her eventually but she didn’t want it to be today. Also after the match Arai received a message from Kong that just said “Welcome.” Arai takes it that she is now accepted as a pro wrestler so even though she lost, she is still happy.
The reunited Twin Cam Monsters were victorious over Suzume & Arisu Endo. The combined speed and experience was too much but the underdogs still put up a fight. Riho & Shoko Nakajima gave Suzume a combined Northern Lights Suplex. Endo broke the count but Nakajima threw her in position for Riho to take her out with the Somato. From there Nakajima pinned Suzume with the Diving Senton. Suzume was pleased to show how much she has grown since her debut two years ago and also encouraged Endo for helping her when she needed it. Riho enjoyed the match and liked the atmosphere of the show. She also praised Suzume for her progress.
The new team VENYU left a strong impression from the moment their ring entrance began. Asuka dealt with Marika Kobashi (who was returning from a cracked rib injury), leaving Yuki Kamifuku in the ring with her sometimes nemesis Nao Kakuta. Kamifuku escaped the Shiden Kai and gave Kakuta the Famouser from behind. Kamifuku would then his a second Famouser this time from the turnbuckles to win the match. Kakuta thought she would have been able to beat two Roppongi girls because she was teaming with a Shibuya girl. Kobashi had to explain to her that the atmosphere in Roppongi is very different to that in Shibuya. Kamifuku said she was glad not to be wrestling against Asuka today. She also criticized Kakuta for not showing the same motivation against her that she had when they feuded. Asuka thinks the match went better than expected so there may be more from VENYU to look forward to.
Hyper Misao was so excited to see Rika Tatsumi come back that she made a sign to welcome her back. She was so excited to wrestle Tatsumi again that she forgot Nodoka Tenma was in the match. She told Tenma to leave but Tatsumi attacked her to start the action. Misao couldn’t contain her happiness when she got to be alone with Tatsumi in the ring. She held up the sign while doing I Am A Hero onto Tatsumi. Tenma broke the pin with a Diving Body Press onto both of them. She then got the pin herself by giving Misao the Killswitch.
The opening match was the return of Mahiro Kiryu from injury and also the TJPW debut of Ram Kaichow. The finish saw Pom Harajuku get rid of Kaya Toribami with the Pom Do Justice and Raku pin Haruna Neko with the Doctor Yellow. Kaichow celebrated the win with her team by sharing a packed lunch with them backstage.
The 2022 Korakuen Hall schedule was revealed during the show. Also announced was the date and location for “WRESTLE PRINCESS III”. It will be held in Tokyo Dome City Hall on 9th October, 2022.

DDT “GET ALIVE 2021 TOUR IN YAMAGATA”, 03/10/2021
Yamagata Big Wing
155 Fans
1. 3 Way Match: Yuki Ueno defeated Antonio Honda and Kazuki Hirata when Ueno pinned Honda and Hirata with a Double Crucifix Pin (11:15).
2. Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yuki “Sexy” Iino defeated Soma Takao & Gorgeous Matsuno when Iino pinned Matsuno with the Pheromone Clutch (11:55).
3. Daisuke Sasaki & Toru Owashi defeated Yukio Naya & Hideki Okatani when Sasaki submitted Okatani with the Crossface Lock (10:41).
4. Chris Brookes, Kazusada Higuchi & Keisuke Goto defeated Yuji Hino, Akito & Yuya Koroku when Goto pinned Koroku with the Jackhammer (16:04).
5. Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada defeated Tetsuya Endo & Keigo Nakamura when Okada pinned Nakamura with the Sudden Death (13:40).
6. Yamagata Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & MAO defeated HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Hiroshi Yamato when Katsumata pinned Yoshimura with the Firebird Splash (18:37).
The MADMAX followed by the Firebire Splash gave Shunma Katsumata a vital pinfall over Naomi Yoshimura in the build up to the next KO-D Tag Team Titles defence. Afterwards Katsumata said his bond with Konosuke Takeshita means he is not afraid of HARASHIMA & Yoshimura.
Keigo Nakamura found himself being targeted by Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada. Now Tetsuya Endo was there to preview his D-Ou Grand Prix bout with Akiyama but Akiyama’s focus changed back to Nakamura. When Junretsu won the match, Okada held up Nakamura’s KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Title belt and promised to win it on 12th October.
Gorgeous Matsuno, who is celebrating his 20th anniversary this year, promised to hold a DDT show in Fukushima next year.
It’s a fresh start and a new attitude for Daisuke Sasaki. He is now a babyface! Toru Owashi explained to the fans that Sasaki has done many bad things all across Japan. Starting today he will do what he can to change everybody’s minds about him. Sasaki tried to cut a promo but Owashi slapped him because it sounded too intimidating. Owashi then spent the match watching over Sasaki’s actions to make sure he was acting like the babyface he is now supposed to be. It was clumsy at times but Sasaki won the match clean in the end. After the match Sasaki asked DDT to find him an opponent to defend the DDT Universal Title against.
The Pheromone Clutch Yuki Iino used is similar to the Delfin Clutch, but with a sexy muscle pose. The move is a pin hold and Iino did get a three count but Matsuno may have given up while he was in it. Either way the move turned out to be effective.

“MASAHIRO TAKANASHI BOX OFFICE YOPPARAI IS BACK”, 01/10/2021
Shinjuku FACE
202 Fans
0. Dark Match: Gota Ihashi & Antonio Honda (w/ Sayaka Obihiro & KUDO) defeated Dragon Sakurabo, “Old Wise Man” Human-Zee & Tiger Jeet Singh-juku Sumidagawa (w/ Haru Miyako) when Ihashi pinned Human-Zee with a Running Body Press (5:58).
1. Saki Akai & Rina Yamashita defeated Yuna Mizumori & Mei Suruga when Yamashita pinned Mizumori with the Implant Bomb (17:19).
-. Bonus Track – Special Single Match: Ken Ohka Vs DJ Nira ended in a No Contest when Gota Ihashi and the UMA Corps interfered (12:54).
2. Kazusada Higuchi, ken45° & Manjimaru defeated Isami Kodaka, Daiki Shimomura & Yasu Urano when Higuchi pinned Urano with the Brain Claw Slam (16:40).
3. Kenichiro Arai defeated Baliyan Akki with a Crushed Swan Dive Rotating Cradle (13:54).
4. Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei (w/ Gorgeous Matsuno) defeated Masahiro Takanashi & Chris Brookes when Kei pinned Takanashi with a Suitcase Attack (15:05).
After so many cancellations and postponements due to the pandemic, Masahiro Takanashi got to hold his comeback show at last! It took so long that Takanashi has already returned from injury and wrestled a bunch of matches before today. But that didn’t dampen the occasion one bit. Takanashi reunited his CDK team with Chris Brookes to take on The Brahman Brothers with Gorgeous Matsuno in tow. The Brahmans wrestled in pandemic masks the entire time and made Takanashi suffer with their brand of torture until Brookes made the save. Then the match fell apart when one by one the wrestlers from earlier in the show interfered and caused chaos. CDK managed to clear the ring eventually but The Brahmins threw a suitcase at Takanashi, knocking him out long enough to get pinned.
After the match The Brahmans told everyone it is a difficult experience wrestling in pandemic masks for 15 minutes. They also couldn’t believe the bad luck surrounding this show. It got delayed by the pandemic a bunch of times and now when it finally takes place, a typhoon happens preventing some of the fans from travelling to see the show! Matsuno corrected them by saying he was able to safely travel all the way from Fukushima during the typhoon. After they left, Takanashi apologized to Brookes for losing the match. The result may be disappointing but today his dream of getting to team with Brookes again came true. Brookes cheered him up and said he has a new dream for them. A match between CDK and Shuten-dōji! Takanashi invited Yukio Sakaguchi and KUDO into the ring to tell them they should do that match some day. Takanashi ended the show by saying some of his goals and dreams are the same but they can change and become something new. He also wants to do another self-produced show.
Baliyan Akki was here to wrestle a clean match but Kenichiro Arai had laid some tricks to tip things in his favour. Midway through the match Arai escaped the ring, made Akki chase him around ringside and back into the ring so he could roll him up for a nearfall. Arai then offered a handshake to distract Akki so he could kick him below the belt. Akki tried to win with a Swan Dive Sunset Flip but Arai sat down on the move and held onto the ropes to pin him without the referee seeing him cheat. Akai went for one more cheapshot after the match but Akki countered it with a Dropkick and demanded a rematch.
Kazusada Higuchi and Sakaguchi both showed up wearing matching gear to ken45° & Manjimaru. Higuchi withstood the teamwork of Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura to isolate Yasu Urano. He finished him off with a twisting Brain Claw Slam to win. After the match Kodaka and Sakaguchi had a staredown but it ended with a fist bump.
The joshi tag began with Rina Yamashita and Yuna Mizumori having a sumo bout together. When they were done, Saki Akai then asked Mei Suruga for a test of strength but held her hand up too high for Suruga to reach. That led to Suruga piggybacking on Mizumori while Yamashita made Akai sit on her shoulders to do the test. It ended with Yamashita Double Clotheslining the other team with Akai still on her shoulders. Akai and Suruga continued to get on each others nerves but the match came down to the other two. Mizumori charged in and Yamashita caught her with the Implant Bomb to win.
The dark match was a preview of things to come throughout the show. The UMA Corps promised to commit chaos using a saber that was inherited from Tiger Jeet Singh himself. It was up to Gota Ihashi & Antonio Honda to stop them but they weren’t reliable at all. Sayaka Obihiro & KUDO had to get involved and guide their team to victory. That wasn’t the end though. When the match was over Haru Miyako instructed her monsters to wrap a bull rope around Ihashi’s neck and drag him off. Honda stuck around to give the opening show speech with “Kotori”, the Gatoh Move wrestler who retired back in 2017.
Later in the show the fans were treated to a bonus match between Ken Ohka and DJ Nira. That match never finished because The UMA Corps returned to cause more havoc. Ihashi ran back out to even the odds and the fighting continued until the room went dark. When the lights came back on, Daisuke Kiso was left alone in the ring wearing a diaper. He crawled around the ring while the ring was getting disinfected.

BASARA “BASARA 171 ~GLITTER~”, 28/09/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld
1. SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Takato Nakano when SAGAT submitted Nakano with a Modified Backbreaker (9:32)
2. Jacket Double Bout: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Gouma defeated Yusuke Kubo & Daichi Kazato by Referee Stoppage when Hiroshi used the Infinite STO on Kazato (R4 1:58).
3. Masato Kamino defeated Daiki Shimomura with the Lariat (13:15).
4. Fuminori Abe, Takuya Nomura & Yasu Urano defeated Isami Kodaka, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga when Abe submitted Oosugi with the Manjigatame (11:49).
5. Union MAX Next Challenger Decision League – Final: Ryota Nakatsu defeated FUMA with the V Slider (21:02).
Ryota Nakatsu wins the Decision League and will face Takumi Tsukamoto for the Union MAX Title at Korakuen Hall on 24th October! Nakatsu praised FUMA and admitted he could have lost to him today. Nakatsu called out Tsukamoto and called him really strong. Tsukamoto returned the compliment but told him he isn’t going to win the MAX Title from him. Nakatsu told the fans he and Tsukamoto are both 30 years old and they are going to have a passionate fight at Korakuen.
The 6-Man Tag Match was built around two things. The first was the amount of champions involved in the match. Isami Kodaka, Fuminori Abe and Takuya Nomura all entered carrying belts from several different promotions. The second was Astronauts and Speed Of Sounds facing off to see who is stronger. Abe made Tsutomu Oosugi submit to win the match but asked SOS if they could fight them again on 24th October for the IRON FIST Tag Titles. SOS accepted and Banana Senga said they will show Astronauts the true essence of tag team wrestling.
Toru Owashi attacked Isami Kodaka and Daiki Shimomura after Match #3. He almost Choke Slammed Shimomura onto a pile of chairs but was stopped and kicked out of the venue. As Owashi was leaving he told the Sento Minzoku wrestlers to polish the UWA 6-Man Tag Team Title belts every day because his team are coming to take them on 24th October!
Extra stipulations were added to the Jacket Match after every round. The first round was using regular tag rules, the second turned into a Tornado Tag Match and the third round onwards allowed weapons to be used.

DDT “WHO’S GONNA TOP? 2021”, 26/09/2021

5. DAMNATION Dissolution Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie defeated Shuji Ishikawa, Soma Takao & Nobuhiro Shimatani (w/ Yuji Hino) when Sasaki submitted Shimatani with La Mistica Crossface Lock (15:12).
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) defeated Chris Brookes with the Plus Ultra (29:51).
*V1 for Konosuke Takeshita.
The weeks leading up to today’s KO-D Openweight Title match was built around whether or not Konosuke Takeshita could beat Chris Brookes with the Plus Ultra. But first a lot of big bombs were dropped in and out the ring to get there. Takeshita did an Avalanche Power Bomb. Brookes fought back with the Praying Mantis Bomb and the Octopus Stretch. Takeshita stayed in the hold but was still able to stand up and climb the turnbuckles again, this time with Brookes on his back. Brookes turned it into his advantage and he did an Avalanche Crucifix Driver. He went for the Praying Mantis Bomb once more but Takeshita did his best to avoid it. Some Lariats from the champion took their toll and Brookes was soon bleeding from the mouth. He kept kicking out of pins so Takeshita finally put him in the Plus Ultra and got him to give up.
After the match Takeshita revealed that Brookes once said he doesn’t have any friends in Japan. Takeshita wants Brookes to take a look and see that he has made many friends in DDT and ChocoPro. In fact, Takeshita even calls Brookes his best friend! He thanked him for coming to Japan and for choosing DDT. After the two hugged, Takeshita said he was happy to have a main event like this in front of a sold out Korakuen Hall. There are still many empty seats because of social distancing but he is sure the day will come in the future when all of them are full again for a DDT show. Backstage Takeshita said next year will be his 10th year in wrestling. He will fight for the next 10 years to give back everything that he’s gotten over the last decade. In regards to his friendship with Brookes, they are two wrestlers who are enthusiastic wrestling fans. Takeshita thinks he can be seen as the Japanese Chris Brookes while Brookes can be seen as the British Takeshita.
It was time to say farewell to DAMNATION. The unit had been around since 2016 but is now forced to go their separate ways after losing the DRAMATIC SURVIVOR tournament earlier this month. The majority of the unit’s members gathered together for the final match. Hiroshi Yamato wasn’t here but recorded a message to be included in the pre-match video. The match itself wasn’t friendly with Shuji Ishikawa & Soma Takao both holding Daisuke Sasaki responsible for the split. They took their frustration out on him whenever he was in the ring while Yuji Hino got illegally involved outside the ring at certain points. However Sasaki had Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie to back him up and with their help Sasaki got the last laugh in the end by submitting Nobuhiro Shimatani. DAMNATION all got together after the match and Sasaki thanked the fans for following them over the last 5 years. All that was left to do is let DAMNATION perform karaoke one final time. Ishikawa then sang “Choo Choo TRAIN” by EXILE while Hino filmed everyone dancing. Sasaki stopped Ishikawa’s singing to remind everyone “We don’t conform, we don’t kiss ass and we don’t get married!” DAMNATION, forever!
The forbidden tag team has been put together! Jun Akiyama and Yoshihiko teamed together for the first time ever to beat HARASHIMA & Kazuki Hirata. It was a big deal but something Akiyama wasn’t 100% comfortable with. His only worry was if today’s special guest Riki Choshu was still in the building while the match went on. As long as Choshu didn’t see what Akiyama did today then everything’s ok! Akiyama & Yoshihiko performed stereo Exploder Suplexes before Yoshihiko pinned Hirata with the Reincarnation. Akiyama made sure once more that Choshu wasn’t around and said he had a lot of fun today.
The return of Masahiro Takanashi to DDT wasn’t the most glamourous of occasions. He was thrown right back into the wacky side of the company. He was also thrown right back into Danshoku Dieno’s backside but we’re getting ahead of things. Naomi Yoshimura wanted to beat up Takanashi because there isn’t enough room for two “orange” wrestlers in DDT. Even Saki Akai wasn’t shy in kicking Takanashi a little harder than she usually would. Toru Owashi didn’t even do much to protect him either. Takanashi almost had Antonio Honda set up for the Takatonic but he ended up getting a face-full of Dieno as mentioned above. Honda then gave Takanashi the TTD and got the three count with the Diving Fist Drop. A group photo was taken after the match with Yukio Sakaguchi joining it.
The Record Of Ragnarok pitted Gods against Humanity while Choshu watched from the commentary booth. The Humanity team were led to the ring by Brynhildr (played by Haruna Iikubo) but they quickly learned they were no match against the Gods led by Daisuke Sekimoto. One by one Shunma Katsumata, Yuki Ueno & MAO were picked apart by Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Naya & Akito. In one final desperate move, Brynhildr called forth the very first human Adam! Nakamura reappeared dressed as “Adam” but Sekimoto destroyed him to leave the Gods victorious. When the dust settled, Choshu & Brynhildr promoted the Record Of Ragnarok anime and stage show. Choshu said he wished he could have done a wrestling match like this in his era, especially against somebody like Sekimoto. Choshu also said if God really did want to destroy the human race then he would fight him!
The growing power of Pheromones was too much for Yusuke Okada & Hideki Okatani to handle. Yuki Iino has found a way to do a sexy version of the Lariat to make it a stronger move. This match aired live on DDT’s Youtube channel so Sanshiro Takagi was concerned the channel was about to get banned thanks to the lewd antics of Iino & Yumehito Imanari. Takagi decided it is up to him and Okada to stop Pheromones from damaging DDT any further. He booked himself, Okada and a third partner to face Pheromones at Ota Ward Gymnasium on 3rd November. Not only that but the match will be for the vacant KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles! Dieno accepted on the condition that if Pheromones wins then Takagi must let them continue doing whatever they want, even if it destroys DDT. Takagi promised he will beat them and break them up before that happens. Dieno then quipped that Takagi likes to break things up lately.
The two pre-show matches were also aired on Youtube in an attempt by DDT to add more importance to the earlier half of the show. One of the matches had Takagi team up with joshi legend Yumiko Hotta to defeat Shinya Aoki & Mizuki Watase. The result saw Hotta strike Aoki with a steel chain before pinning him with the Pyramid Driver. Hotta then challenged Aoki for the DDT Extreme Title. Aoki wants the match to take place at the RIZIN show on 2nd October but it will instead happen in DDT on 12th October.
The other pre-show match was an Exhibition bout for Yuki Ishida. The rookie will properly debut on 12th October and he got five minutes in the ring with Yuya Koroku to prepare for it. Ishida got to hit a big Jumping Shoulder attack and put Koroku in a Crab Hold. Koroku got a rope break and he held Ishida in a Cross Armbreaker until the time expired.
Yukio Sakaguchi appeared at the start of the show to talk about his back injury. He placed both his jacket and his Eruption robe onto the top rope before apologizing for being unable to wrestle today. He will be away from the ring for a while but when he comes back he will be wearing those outfits hanging over the rope again.
Takagi and Hotta had their post-match interview backstage interrupted. Riko Kawahata, who wrestles for Hotta’s T-HEARTS promotion approached Takagi asking if she could wrestle at the 12th October DDT show. Hotta was insulted to see Kawabata act out of turn and directly ask Takagi this way. She grabbed her out of anger but Takagi calmed things down and told Kawabata he will think about it.
The two blocks for the D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II were both revealed during the show. Block A has Jun Akiyama, Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Ueno, Naomi Yoshimura, Yuji Hino and Bodyguard. Block B consists of Konosuke Takeshita, HARASHIMA, Kazusada Higuchi, MAO, Chris Brookes and Yuji Okabayashi. Daisuke Sasaki was offered a spot in the tournament but he declined to participate.
2022 will be DDT’s 25th Anniversary so a project is being put together to celebrate it. The theme of this project is a “Dramatic Dream Tour” through the past, present and future of DDT. The “Past” is the Dramatic Dream Bout TOP 25 and Dramatic Dream Hall Of Fame TOP 25 where fans get to choose their favourite matches and wrestlers from DDT’s history.
The “Future” is the official debut of the DDT Teenage Project sub brand. It is renamed DDTeeeen!! and the first show is taking place in Shinjuku FACE on 17th October.
And then there is the “Present”. DDT will hold its 25th Anniversary show at Sumo Hall on 20th March, 2022! It will be the first time DDT is back in Ryogoku in three years.

GANBARE☆PRO “BAD COMMUNICATION -ULTRA PLEASURE STYLE 2021”, 25/09/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
396 Fans
1. Shu Sakurai Last Match Before His Closure: Rocky Kawamura 2, Nobuhiro Shimatani & Itsuki Aoki defeated Katsuzaki Shunosuke, Moehiko Harumisawa & Shu Sakurai when Shimatani submitted Sakurai with the Modified Camel Clutch (8:04).
2. Ganjo Special 6-Woman Tag Match: Asuka, Makoto & HARUKAZE defeated Yuna Manase, Yuna Mizumori & YuuRI when HARUKAZE pinned YuuRI with the Fire Spear (12:35).
3. Ganpro Special Tag Match: Tatsuhito Takaiwa & MAO defeated Yumehito Imanari & Kouki Iwasaki when Takaiwa pinned Imanari with the Death Valley Bomb (12:54).
4. IJ Tag Team Titles: Kenichiro Arai & Shota (c) defeated Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga when Shota pinned Tominaga with a Casadora (12:17).
*V2 for Hattoshite Good Daga.
5. Ganpro Special Single Match: Keisuke Ishii defeated Shigehiro Irie with the Kneel Kick (18:16).
6. Ken Ohka 20th Anniversary Special Tag Match ~Roar Of The Lion King~: HARASHIMA & Kengo Mashimo defeated Ken Ohka & Isami Kodaka when HARASHIMA pinned Ohka with the Somato (18:23).
Twenty years in the business for Ken Ohka has made him a lot of friends and acquaintances. To celebrate he teamed with the wrestler who was once labelled as his replacement in Union Pro. Back then Kengo Mashimo was marketed as Kengo Ohka on Union shows. Their opponents were HARASHIMA, who teamed with Ohka for his most famous match, and Isami Kodaka who Ohka grew up with in their Union days. Kodaka and Mashimo also hold a grudge with each other to add some spiciness to the match. Ohka got to shine by Double German Suplexing HARASHIMA and Kodaka. He then exchanged elbows with HARASHIMA and HARASHIMA took the time to congratulate him on the anniversary inbetween the strikes. Ohka got the upper hand and pulled out a Dragon Suplex out of nowhere. But when he charged in for the Fire Spear, HARASHIMA blocked it with the Somato and then hit a second one to win the match.
After the match HARASHIMA said he was smiling from start to finish. Kodaka and Mashimo gave each other the middle finger until Ohka talked to them. Ohka said Mashimo is like his fourth son or his half-brother because he used to be Kengo Ohka. Kodaka admitted to Ohka that he overslept today and only arrived at the venue at 1pm. The show started at 11:30am. Ohka thanked all of them for coming to Ganbare☆Pro today. To him it doesn’t matter what company they work for, they can be double or triple affiliated with Ganpro for as long as they are pro wrestlers! The show ended with Ohka celebrating with the Ganpro roster in the ring. Shota tried to sneak roll up HARASHIMA for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title during this but failed to pull it off.
The Keisuke Ishii Vs Shigehiro Irie match turned out to be a full Team Dream Futures reunion when Soma Takao was spotted in the audience at the start of the bout. Irie also had Mizuki Watase in his corner to provide some RENEGADES presence. Ishii kicked out of the Beast Bomber and hit Irie with the Kneel Kick to the back of the head. Ishii then hit the Double Arm DDT before doing one more Kneel Kick to win. The two shook hands afterwards while Takao left the room. This is the first time Ishii has beaten Irie one on one in ten years! He put his victory down to honing the Kneel Kick for 13 years.
To ensure that the IJ Tag Team Titles match was fought under PWF Rules, Ayana Shimada from Tenryu Project was at ringside to oversee the match. Both champions and challengers aren’t familiar with the rules only found out about the differences while they wrestled. Things like rope breaks not being strict and 10 counts outside the ring threw the wrestlers off but they adapted in the end. At one point Kenichiro Arai used the ropes to add leverage to Shota pinning Shinichiro Tominaga but Hagane Shinno broke it up by diving onto Arai on the ring apron. Shota ended up stealing the win anyway by rolling Tominaga up with a Casadora.
Yumehito Imanari was excited to find out Shuichi Nishinaga from NOAH was the referee for his match. He & Kouki Iwasaki worked over on Tatsuhito Takaiwa but MAO was there to help his tag partner. Takaiwa took control and pinned Imanari with the Death Valley Bomb. He noticed that Ganpro has changed a lot since the last time he wrestled for them. MAO said it was a fresh feeling wrestling in Ganpro for the first time. He also got some tips from Takaiwa on how to improve the Michinoku Driver.
The current state of Ganbare☆Joshi shows HARUKAZE is making the kind of progress she’s been looking for while the newcomer YuuRI is struggling to find a win. HARUKAZE had a confrontation with Yuna Manase after the match but found herself being praised by Asuka & Makoto. Backstage Manase & Yuna Mizumori consoled YuuRI and don’t blame her for their team losing today. Over on the other side Asuka said she wasn’t satisfied with the match because she thinks GanJo is too weak for her. However she tells HARUKAZE to continue doing her best there.
Today was the last match of Shu Sakurai’s wrestling career, at least for now. He and the rest of THE HALFEE performed “Starry Sky Distance” for their entrance before wrestling Rocky Kawamura 2, Nobuhiro Shimatani & Itsuki Aoki. Sadly for Sakurai his last match ended in defeat with Shimatani making him tap out. Sakurai wants to remind everyone this isn’t a retirement and he will come back some day. His decision to leave is for positive reasons and he hopes to learn and grow as a person while he is away. Shuichiro Katsumura & Moeka Haruhi suggested they all reunite in 47 years because THE ALFEE (the band they parody) are celebrating their 47th anniversary this year.
Some important announcements related to the Ganbare☆Climax were given during the show. First, the tournament is being sponsored by LEC. And second, the winner of the Ganbare☆Climax will be crowned the first Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Champion! The president of LEC Takaki Nagamori showed off the new championship belt and talked about LEC sponsoring various pro wrestling events from the G1 Climax to the Ganbare☆Climax.
The wrestlers entering the Ganbare☆Climax 2021 are Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari, Keisuke Ishii, Shuichiro Katsumura, Shota, Shinichiro Tominaga, Kouki Iwasaki, Baliyan Akki, Nobuhiro Shimatani, Mizuki Watase, Seiya Morohashi, Tetsuhiro Kuroda, Tatsuhito Takaiwa and kickboxer Tyson Maeguchi. The tournament begins on 24th October and the final to crown the champion will take place on 23rd November.

DDT “WHO’S GONNA TOP? 2021 TOUR IN SAPPORO DAY 2”, 23/09/2021
Hokkaido Sapporo ii-one Stadium
234 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. Shunma Katsumata & MAO Vs Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Saki Akai ended in a No Contest (12:12).
2. Sanshiro Takagi & Tomoya defeated Antonio Honda & Naomi Yoshimura when Tomoya pinned Honda with the SOD (11:25).
3. Soma Takao defeated Hideki Okatani with the Official Endless Waltz (10:04).
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Noriyuki Yoshida defeated HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Yoshida pinned Hirata with the Lightning Leg Lariat (14:14).
5. Daisuke Sasaki & Tetsuya Endo defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Darkunesu K when Endo pinned K with the Darkness Driver (11:48).
6. Sapporo Specialty Special Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno defeated Chris Brookes & Akito when Takeshita submitted Akito with the Plus Ultra (11:48).
Akito showed up wearing a similar leather jacket to Chris Brookes. They came close to winning the main event when Yuki Ueno’s Shining Wizard accidentally hit Konosuke Takeshita. Brookes took Ueno outside and left it up to Akito to finish off Takeshita. Instead Takeshita countered Akito’s grappling and locked him in the Plus Ultra for the submission victory. Takeshita shook hands with Brookes after the match.
Keigo Nakamura went missing before the show and was replaced with Darkunesu K again. K tried once more to prevent DAMNATION from splitting up but he was defeated once more.
Without going into detail, shenanigans from Danshoku Dieno caused Yukinori Matsui to faint during the opening match. It had to be called off without a winner.
Two injuries led to changes in the card. Yukio Sakaguchi has spinal canal stenosis detected in his lower back while Yuji Hino has damaged ligaments in both his right knee and right ankle. No timeframe was given for their returns.

The show ended with all the wrestlers commenting on their upcoming matches. Shoko Nakajima is looking forward to reuniting the Twin Cam Monsters with Riho. She is also looking forward to the two of them beating Suzume & Arisu Endo. Yuki Kamifuku promised to bring her strongest friend Asuka into TJPW. Moka Miyamoto is thrilled to team with Aja Kong for the first time. Miu Watanabe is looking forward to that challenge with Yuki Arai beside her. Hikari Noa threatened to burn the “Burning Venus” Yuki Aino. Maki Itoh said that person who looks best in the world with a championship belt it herself. She looked at Miyu Yamashita while she said that. Yamashita said they will have the best match in response. The Magical Sugar Rabbits promised to reclaim the Princess Tag Team Titles from NEO Biishiki-gun, creating world peace in the process.
Mahiro Kiryu is cleared to return and her first match back will be at “WRESTLE PRINCESS II”. The card will be changed a little bit to get her on the show.

DDT “WHO’S GONNA TOP? 2021 TOUR IN SAPPORO DAY 1”, 22/09/2021
Hokkaido Sapporo ii-one Stadium
230 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. Sanshiro Takagi & Yusuke Okada defeated Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Antonio Honda when Okada pinned Honda with a Backslide Pin (11:13).
2. Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai defeated Akito, Kazuki Hirata & MAO when Akai pinned Hirata wuth the Quetzalcoatl (11:33).
3. Tetsuya Endo & Soma Takao defeated Tomoya & Yuya Koroku when Takao pinned Koroku with the Diing Foot Stomp (11:36).
4. Sapporo Specialty Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama defeated Noriyuki Yoshida with the Wrist-Clutch Exploder Suplex (12:10).
5. Daisuke Sasaki & Yuji Hino defeated Chris Brookes & Keigo Nakamura when Sasaki submitted Nakamura with the Crossface Lock (12:20).

*HARASHIMA becomes the 1,518th champion.
Today didn’t go so well for The 37KAMIINA. They took a blow from DISASTER BOX that left them with one less championship. HARASHIMA is now the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion after he pinned Shunma Katsumata in the main event. He is a little excited to hold the title again but Toru Owashi warned him somebody might try to pin him while he is sleeping. HARASHIMA promised to sleep with one eye open from now on. Naomi Yoshimura noticed that Katsumata today isn’t like the one he’s faced in the past so they still need to be careful around him when the KO-D Tag Team Titles are on the line.
In 2004 Noriyuki Yoshida was a trainee at NOAH so today’s match with Jun Akiyama was a long time coming. Akiyama defeated him but shook his hand and told him “Congratulations on the 15th Anniversary!” The special occasion is why Akiyama used the Wrist-Clutch Exploder Suplex to beat him. Yoshida thanked him for remembering.
