6. Maikon no Kohara Presents I Love It! Osaka Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Yusuke Okada defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Toui Kojima when Okada pinned Kojima with the Sudden Death (16:21).

After the main event Jun Akiyama had one more face off with Kazusada Higuchi before their KO-D Openweight Title match. There was then other more important issues to attend to. Like Yusuke Okada wanting everyone to know his mother was in the audience today! Akiyama joked there are a lot of famous moms in Osaka then asked if Keiko Takeshita was here today. She wasn’t so Akiyama turned his attention back to Okada’s mom and celebrated his team’s victory. Okada was given the chance to close out the show but he gave Akiyama the closing speech instead. However he did promise the next time he wrestles in Osaka he will have a championship of some kind with him.

The 37KAMIINA are getting some wins now after spluttering start. Yuki Ueno said he met up with Konosuke Takeshita at the Sakuya Konohana Kan and spent all day together before the show. They promise The 37KAMIINA will do their best to make pro wrestling more hot and exciting.

Tetsuya Endo snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in Match #4. DISASTER BOX had Endo beaten with their teamwork but DAMNATION were there to break the pin. Kazuki Hirata went back and forth with Endo and when he went for the kill, Endo rolled him up and nabbed the three count.

You know who also likes saunas? Danshoku Dieno. He wrestled his match wearing a bath towel around his waist to distract his opponents. Shunma Katsumata made him get into the Hell Gate position and used the towel to send Dieno’s “heat waves” into their opponents. Antonio Honda used Gongitsune to plug up Dieno’s backside and charge his attack. Katsumata made Gongitsune backfire into Honda’s eyes. He then climbed on top of Dieno and hit the Totonoe Splash on Honda for the win.

The rude behavior did not end there. Maku Donaruto told Keigo Nakamura that their match was not a joke and he was going to show off his amateur wrestling ability. Donaruto proceeded to strip off his jumpsuit and wrestled the match in a mankini.

5. Daisuke Sasaki & Tetsuya Endo defeated Antonio Honda & Yuki Iino when Endo pinned Honda with the Shooting Star Press (13:20).
6. Nagoya Specialty Doerya 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & HARASHIMA defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Chris Brookes & Keigo Nakamura when HARASHIMA pinned Nakamura with the Somato (13:56).

Keigo Nakamura made his entrance wearing a handmade Jun Akiyama costume created out of paper. Needless to say, the real Akiyama got annoyed when he saw it and he tore it off Nakamura when they wrestled each other. HARASHIMA saw the bright side and gave kudos to Nakamura after the match. Akiyama though said he will never forgive him. He blamed Makoto Oishi for this and Oishi tried to pass the blame over to Kazusada Higuchi. Backstage Chris Brookes said that Higuchi is like a different person compared to the last time they teamed together when Higuchi was getting ready for a KO-D Openweight Title match. He bets Akiyama will probably be afraid of Higuchi. A defeated Nakamura promised he will become bigger than Akiyama some day.

There were some problems between Antonio Honda & Yuki Iino because Honda thought Iino was wasting his time doing the Haka before his moves. He tried to guide him into doing a Bionic Elbow but Iino went back to doing the Haka. He then argued with Honda and left the ring so Honda had to fight DAMNATION on his own. Daisuke Sasaki & Tetsuya Endo almost bullied Honda into submission when Iino returned wearing a Honda-like costume to rescue his tag partner! Honda & Iino successfully did the Bionic Elbow together and then tried the Haka together until Honda tripped and hurt his knee. It was to set up Gongitsune but DAMNATION recovered and got the win in the end.

Match #2 ended before Nagoya’s own Akito even had a chance to do anything. Hisaya Imabayashi demanded a complete restart, including the entrances so Akito could get the hometown hero treatment. Yukio Naya thought that was the perfect time to roll up Saki Akai and try to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Akai kicked out which counts as a successful defence outside of matches. Imabayashi got mad at this and told Naya and Kazuki Hirata to switch teams for the restart. Akito got to wrestle in the match this time and Hirata promised everyone Akito was going to do a Phoenix Splash! Akito climbed the turnbuckles but Hirata didn’t have the strength to Body Slam Naya. Instead Naya’s dead weight collapsed on top of Hirata and Hirata got pinned for the three count. A confused Akito remained standing on the top turnbuckle while everyone else left the ring. He then took the time to thank the fans for coming before quickly exiting the ring.

The freestyle rap battle had different combinations and Shinya Aoki lost his match in the second show for some reason but other than that it’s more or less the same as last time.

*V4 for Yuki Ueno.

The young champion Yuki Ueno took another step up the DDT ladder in what turned out to be a big day for his group. The show began with the DDT Sauna Club revealing it has been renamed to The 37KAMIINA (pronounced “Sauna Kamiina”) to establish itself as a proper stable. Then in the main event, Ueno put the DDT UNIVERSAL Title on the line against Yusuke Okada. He went big with a Flying Hurricanara out of the ring then later kicked out of Okada’s newly named Tricolor. A Dropkick turned the match to his favour and Ueno won with the WR for his fourth defence. Ueno told Okada it was fun to wrestle him and he wants them to have more main events together. He also said The 37KAMIINA will work hard towards being a forwards thinking group in 2021.

The rest of the championship matches on the cards all had title changes. DAMNATION took the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles away from the Young Communication Generation. The defending champions tried using speed but hit a road bump when Yuji Hino got involved. Akito & Kazuki Hirata together couldn’t knock him off his feet and it was only with Shota’s help were they able to get him out of the ring. Tetsuya Endo had an exchange of submission counters with Akito until he wiped out everyone on the floor with the Sasuke Special. That left Shota alone with Soma Takao in the ring. They both ran the ropes and Takao got his strike in first with the Running Elbow Butt. That was enough to get him the three count and bring the belts back to DAMNATION! But they’re not too impressed with the title belts themselves. Backstage Daisuke Sasaki called them 100 yen belts. Endo suggested they leave them behind at the Suidobashi Station when they go home tonight. Takao is at least pleased he took the titles from those bottom feeders at Young Communication.

The Barbed Wire Casket Death Match was dangerous but Yukinori Matsui made sure it wasn’t too dangerous. He prohibited Chris Brookes from using a sickle he brought to the ring with him. All of the barbed wire boards, thumbtacks, ladders, construction signs, chairs and toy blocks were okay though. The casket used was covered in blocks and the barbed wire was found to be inside the casket when it was opened up. Shunma Katsumata also hid a few fire poppers in there to catch Brookes by surprise. Katsumata wasn’t the only person who appeared in Super Hardcore form. Konosuke Takeshita & MAO showed up dressed as druids with Joker facepaint to aid Katsumata with a Springboard Tornado DDT. Katsumata placed Brookes leaning over the casket and climbed the top rope. Brookes got out of the way and Katsumata’s Stuka Splash ended with him landing inside the casket. Brookes closed the lid on top and became the new DDT Extreme Champion! He hammered a few nails into the lid to close the casket shut for good measure. He is very much looking forward to defending the Extreme Title in stupid ways because that is the Dramatic Dream Team way!

The pressure is growing between Jun Akiyama and Kazusada Higuchi as we get closer to their KO-D Openweight Title match. Today Higuchi decided to wrestle barefoot and fought with Akiyama outside the ring. He was thrown head first into the ring post and no sold it. Akiyama did get him off his feet with an Exploder onto the floor. Yukio Sakaguchi intercepted Akiyama with an Apron PK but then Makoto Oishi took out Sakaguchi with a low Dropkick. All four men were unable to get back into the ring and the match ended in a Double Countout. Higuchi thinks now the situation is starting to get interesting. Akiyama is getting serious now, which is what Higuchi has been hoping for all along. He thinks they have to fight this way otherwise it wouldn’t be interesting.

Former stablemates Takeshita and Yuki Iino now have to be opponents for the 4 Way Tag. It’s a chance for new directions and Takeshita proved that by deciding to cooperate with Sasaki when it was offered to him! Iino went wild with Spears, using it to take out Toru Owashi, MAO and then a double one to Sasaki & Mad Paulie. Takeshita made Iino spear Yukio Naya by accident then dropped him with the Last Ride. However HARASHIMA then hit Takeshita with a High Kick and ran away with the win by pinning Iino with the Somato.

In a match that would be a main event in any library around the world, The Young Bucks autobiography “Killing The Business” got its chance to reclaim the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Saki Akai’s photo book “Lip Hip Shake”. But first DDT had to get “Lip Hip Shake” away from Gota Ihashi’s possession. He refused to let it go backstage so Antonio Honda had to knock him out. The match began with the two books squaring off much like Go Shiozaki and Kazuyuki Fujita did. The match was interrupted when Ihashi ran out armed with a plastic spoon. He stabbed Danshoku Dieno with it, then stabbed “Killing The Business” to protect his photo book. Nothing will come between Ihashi and Akai’s photo book, not even the real Akai herself! He knocked her down and climbed the ropes for a Moonsault but Akai rolled out of the way and Ihashi went splat. Dieno gave Akai the Danshoku Driver but was then attack by the photo book! Dieno was almost pinned until Keigo Nakamura broke it up. He placed “Lip Hip Shake” on the canvas and did the Exquisite Springboard Moonsault onto it. Nobody was there to stop the pin and Nakamura became the new Iron Man Champion!

Nakamura wanted to celebrate winning his first ever championship but he got distracted by “Lip Hip Shake”. He gave it a read in the ring and suddenly found himself experiencing an embarrassing moment in public. Akai took advantage and hit the Rookie Award to pin Nakamura and become the new Iron Man Champion. She ran off with the belt, her photo book and Ihashi chasing after her. Backstage Honda said it felt like he was teaming with two Saki Akai’s out there. He also found out the price for other copies of the photo book have risen on Mercari ever since it showed up in DDT.

In the pre-show match, Hideki Okatani defeated Toui Kojima. The had a meeting of chops and elbow strikes that ended with Okatani using a Running Neckbreaker. He then got the win with the Northern Lights Suplex.

Sanshiro Takagi came out after the death match to reveal his team for the KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles match on 28th March. His first partner is Yukio Naya, who was busy cleaning up the ring when he found out. Takagi explained that the most important thing in pro wrestling is not physical or technical ability. The most important thing is bloodlines! So Takagi’s team is made up of wrestlers who come from successful families. Naya is one because of his yokozuna grandfather. The second partner is Chikara, the grandson of Rikidozan! Last but not least, filling out the team is comedian Nabe Yakan, whose father was also a successful comedian from the Showa era. Takagi promised to protect these noble bloodlines as they unite to win the 8-Man Tag Titles. Together this team is called Team Thoroughbred!

23 year old trainee Yuya Koroku was introduced to the audience at the start of the show. He will have his debut match on 11th April. He promised to spend the next month working hard preparing for his debut.

Ten years ago the Great East Japan Earthquake happened. When DDT ran their Korakuen Hall show that month, they decided not to record an intro video for the show to preserve energy. Instead the show intro took place live in the ring with all of the wrestlers entering and posing when their match was announced. For the 10th anniversary, DDT did the same thing for today’s show.

DDT “ALL OUT DISSOLUTION BOX OFFICE – ALL OUT FINAL FIGHT”, 12/03/2021

4. ALL OUT FINAL FIGHT: Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Iino defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Akito when Katsumata pinned Akito with the ¡Hasta la vista! (28:52).

Today was the final day of ALL OUT, the unit that has been around in DDT for four years. All of its members have taken different directions for their careers and agreed the time has come for most of them to go their separate ways. Just as the unit name suggests, ALL OUT gave it their all and kept burning until the end. That was shown in the main event when the four full time members faced off in a tag match lasting half an hour. Before the match began everyone was treated to video messages from the international members of ALL OUT. Diego, Space Monkey and Royce Chambers all sent their thanks to the group for taking care of them when they were in Japan.

The match itself went full force. Yuki Iino put Konosuke Takeshita through a table with the Spear. Takeshita fired back with the Last Ride for a nearfall but his attempt at bringing back the Fable was blocked with a mid-air Spear. Shunma Katsumata and Akito then went on a sprint until all four wrestlers got into Elbow Strike exchanges. Iino got Takeshita out of the ring while Katsumata peppered Akito with Super Kicks. Katsumata then wrapped the ALL OUT flag around his waist and did the Stuka Splash for a nearfall. For the ending, Katsumata yelled out Diego’s name and did Diego’s finisher the VHS onto the flag. He then pinned Akito with the ¡Hasta la vista! to win.

Takeshita got on the mic after the match. He said ALL OUT began with just him and Akito, then Diego joined. It wasn’t a unit put together to make friends but for each member to improve each other. The proof today is in how strong Katsumata & Iino have become. Takeshita admitted he was against Katsumata joining the group because he wasn’t very good at the time but now he is like a different person! Takeshita was also the person who told Iino to start using the Haka Elbow so he has to take the responsibility for that one. Akito repeated that he and Takeshita pushed each other upwards. He hopes Katsumata & Iino will go crazy in more ways from now on so they can all say this break up was not a mistake. Iino talked about being in ALL OUT ever since his debut. He has been part of the unit for pretty much his entire career so he has nothing but gratitude towards the other members. He thanked them for keeping ALL OUT alive for him when he was sidelined with a back injury. Katsumata said similar for the times he was out of action with his orbital bone injuries. ALL OUT has ended but their goals will be the same. Katsumata wants all four of them to make a new history and he won’t lose to any of them from now on either!

The planned 3 Way Tag Match was changed into a special 6-Man Tag Team match by Hisaya Imabayashi. According to the GM, Tetsuya Endo & Soma Takao strongly requested the match to be turned into a Smile Squash Vs Happy Motels double reunion. It all turned out to be a ruse when Endo & Takao attacked everyone including the referee, causing the match to end in a No Contest. HARASHIMA demanded the original 3 Way Tag Match take place instead but that also got thrown out when Daisuke Kiso got knocked down again, this time by Antonio Honda & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi when their team fell apart. HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano tended to Honda while Hiroshi sided with Endo & Takao in an alliance he named YOGANATION. An impromptu 6-Man Tag then happened but Endo & Takao turned on Hiroshi. They left him for dead with a Double Super Kick and Honda did the Diving Fist Drop on Hiroshi for the three count.

Takeshita & Akito were able to get a win earlier in the show. Their last trios match with Katsumata was a victory against wrestlers they have associations with: Takeshita with Yuki Ueno, Katsumata with Chris Brookes and Akito with Shota. The match had no tags needed to keep things fast and frantic. Brookes was dispatched with a Super Kick/Zahi combo, Takeshita countered Ueno’s WR into the Surprise Rose and Akito made Shota submit to the Goliath Birdeater.

Iino opened the show with another chance to try and beat the unbeatable Yuji Hino. He showed no intimidation towards his rival, performing the Haka on the ramp when Hino walked out for his entrance. Iino put too much focus into using the Spear. When he hit it, Hino kicked out. Then by that point Hino had the move scouted and used Short Range Lariats to stop further attempts of the move. Iino was down and defeated when Hino hit a Diving Body Press.

The Hiragana Muscle brand is growing with today’s show being the first of two performances being held this month. There’s a problem though. Yuki Rock and South River Minamikawa want to know why is Muscle not included in the big “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021” event taking place on 6th June? Joining in with the complaint is RAM RIDER, the musician who has been producing the songs used in Muscle’s musical acts. He believes the 2.9 Dimensional Pro Wrestling concept is still lacking in the music department because the wrestlers can’t sing, they can only lip sync. That problem was suddenly put on hold when the crew received a phone call. RAM’s father has fallen ill and is in critical condition. What follows is the “Story Of RAM’s House”.

Rock, Minamikawa & Amon Tsurumi were entered the ring to introduce the show. Tsurumi talked about becoming the DDT General Manager again, Rock mentioned losing his access to New Japan and being blacklisted by the company after he started appearing on Muscle shows. He demanded to be made the Muscle GM then challenged another comedian Kuniko Yamada to fight over who gets to be the NOAH GM. Tsurumi changed topics back to RAM RIDER’s situation. He explained RAM is from a family of pro wrestlers such as his father Hondusty Rhodes. But now that Hondusty is undergoing medical treatment, it is up to RAM to enter the pro wrestling business! Super Sasadango Machine agreed to handle RAM’s musical role in the meantime. Time to start the show.

The Finisher Boys were working out when they received an invitation to perform at the Hiragana Festival. That sounds exciting except for one thing. No lip syncing is allowed! Shota entered the ring along with Choun-Shiryu & Yumehito Imanari representing The Steel Chair Boys. He asked The Finisher Boys why they haven’t replied to the invitation yet? A fight broke out with The Finisher Boys coming out on top but they were left in a tired state. How can they sing live with such low stamina? DJ Nira entered the scene and suggested they all turn heel to become stronger performers. The Finisher Boys then danced.

The Folding Chair Boys returned to their base to lick their wounds and wonder if The Finisher Boys are turning heel. Kazusada Higuchi & MAO appeared on the western balcony declaring their intentions to destroy The Finisher Boys. In order to do that they will have to walk down the “Main Road” of pro wrestling. They are going to pay a visit to a house belonging to the parents of a certain musician. Rumour is the musician is trying to become a pro wrestler himself. They can train him! The Folding Chair Boys then danced.

Over at the Hondusty Dojo, RAM RIDER is learning Bionic Elbows from his family. He hears about the Hiragana Festival and finds out he can earn 100,000 yen to perform there. There is no pro wrestling involved, just singing and dancing. He shows up in disguise and performs as DJ One More Taima.

However his collaboration with The Folding Chair Boys is interrupted when DJ Nira attacks Taima. The Finisher Boys also run in and attack The Folding Chair Boys in heel like fashion! They complete their heel turn by changing their names to The Foul (Gimmick) Boys! Taima tried to fight them off with the Bionic Elbow but gets ganged up on. Hondusty entered the ring pleading with the Gimmick Boys to stop but they Power Bomb him instead.

Tsurumi threatened not to pay RAM RIDER because his performance had no singing. However RAM recorded the illegal threat on his phone and threatened to sent it to the media. This sent Tsurumi, Rock & Minamikawa into a panic. If this goes public then all of the future Muscle plans will get cancelled! They might all lose their jobs and will have to go work in Sasadango’s factory. Sasadango then put together a PowerPoint presentation to explain what went wrong and how it can be fixed.

Sasadango decided Minamikawa would have a Mixed Systema Martial Arts match against the strongest opponent he could find. It’s Shinya Aoki! The rules allowed three breaks per round so the fighters could take a breather. Also the first person to react in pain loses. Aoki only needed one round to submit Minamikawa, placing him in a Front Neck Lock and making him shout out “Ouch!”

With that over with, Sasadango showed his plans for Rock & Tsurumi. They were going to have a manzai comedy challenge against Mizuki Watase & Yukio Naya. Rock & Tsurumi’s duo name was The Harigane Sisters and they joked about Tsurumi’s family. Watase & Naya were called Taiho Tiger and they made fun of Real Japan. When they were done an epilogue flashed on the screen about the fictional comedy career of Hisaya Imabayashi after he left DDT. He performed on stage 30,000 times and passed away at the age of 80. Meanwhile Taiho Tiger qualified for the next round of this year’s M-1 Grand Prix.

Two more acts to go and it’s going to stay strange. The Gimmick Boys and The Folding Chair Boys were now going to have a rap battle! Five rounds took place as everyone rapped to puro theme remixes that Taima put together. The audience voted for each winner and The Folding Chair Boys ended up taking the challenge 3 rounds to 2.

Sasadango began the final act by announcing Muscle will be back in Korakuen Hall on 1st September. It was time for RAM RIDER to finally wrestle a match. He dropped the One More Taima gimmick and renamed himself Ramridusty Rhodes so he could fight alongside his father Hondusty. Together they took on the heel team of DJ Nira & Konosuke Takeshita. A ref bump caused a massive brawl to happen at ringside. That was the cue for Tetsuya Endo to make his advertised run in and dive onto everyone outside the ring. Takeshita grabbed a chair but Hondusty talked him out of using it. The dramatic finish then happened with Hondusty pinning Nira with the Bionic Elbow while RAM RIDER played music on his keyboard.

With the show coming to a close, RAM RIDER wanted to return to normal and go back to being a music producer. Takeshita apologised for turning heel and promised never to do it again. Also he needs to be a babyface for Muscle’s Osaka performance next week. Sasadango said he wants to continue making these kind of fun shows.

Team White: Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Kamifuku, Yuki Aino, Miyu Yamashita, Mizuki, Hyper Misao, Miu Watanabe, Hikari Noa, Haruna Neko, Mahiro Kiryu & Arisu Endo

Two teams went into battle to win the much desired all you can eat meal from Genghis Khan Kirishima. Team Red were led by Shoko Nakajima while Team White was captained by Rika Tatsumi. They cheered on their teammates throughout the 11 match challenge while Shota and Tetsuya Koda did commentary.

Nakajima went first for her team and defeated Mahiro Kiryu in the opening match. 2 Count Rules meant everybody was kept on their toes and looking for quick pins. Nakajima proved that by using a Hurricanrana to win.

Team Red then went 2-0 when Pom Harajuku beat Arisu Endo. The rookie tried to capitalise from a missed Pom Do Justice but Harajuku dodged her follow up and got her finisher the second time for the pin.

HikaShio were pitted against each other with both Hikari Noa and Sena Shiori determined to win. Noa got the better of her tag partner with a Rotating Leg Fold cradle (I thought she had a name for that, the Saigo No Bansan or something?).

A karate confrontation was up next when Miyu Yamashita faced Moka Miyamoto. After some back and forth sparring, Yamashita won with the Skull Kick, tying the scored at 2-2.

The first of several time limit draws started with Mirai Maiumi Vs Hyper Misao. But before that happened, Misao came out wearing another mask over her own. She claimed to be an incarnation of the being that controls the masks of all heroes and it had taken over Misao’s body to search for a once in a century talent. She believes Maiumi is that person and she offered her a superhero mask that contained the spirits of all the past heroes. Maiumi fell for the trick and Misao attacked her, revealing she isn’t being possessed at all. The five minutes expired while Mirai was trying to get her opponent in the Miramare. She went back to the move when the match restarted but Misao rolled on top of her for the sudden death 1 Count Pin to win.

The restaurant sponsoring the show specializes in lamb meat so Miu Watanabe spent last night counting sheep in bed so she could win with her head full of sheep. Marika Kobashi though kicked out of a Falling Canadian Backbreaker at one and fought Watanabe to a time limit draw. Kobashi then surprised Watanabe with a Cradle to quickly win during extra time. After six matches the show was at its halfway point and the captains did quick interviews about the results so far. It was 3-3 so still all to play for.

The Raku Vs Yuki Aino match began with Raku inviting Aino to lie down next to her for the Good Night Express. It also caused the referee to lie down too. When it came to actually wrestling, Aino pinned Raku with the Side Suplex.

Yuki Kamifuku is confused over why Nao Kakuta’s nickname is “Rat Chaser”. Kakuta explained that it’s not her nickname but her catchphrase. Also, Kakuta has been here for four months already and everyone has accepted her except for one person, Yuki Kamifuku! She was determined to beat her today even is Kamifuku is a champion. The two fought tooth and nail with each other, lasting the full five minutes. In overtime, Kakuta gouged Kamifuku’s eyes from behind and pinned her with a School Boy for the upset.

Mizuki described her match with Nodoka Tenma like it was a rabbit against a raccoon. She Dropkicked Tenma out of the ring then hit a Diving Body Press out of the ring. Tenma tried to do the Killswitch but Mizuki countered it into the Cutie Special for the pinfall.

With two matches left, Team White had a chance to win the challenge early if Haruna Neko could beat Yuka Sakazaki. Luckily for Team Red, Sakazaki outsmarted Neko and won with the Magical Merry-Go-Round.

With the score tied at 5-5 it was all on the line in the final match. Team White captain Tatsumi fought against Suzume, who knew she now had a lot of responsibility on her shoulders. She went for the win but couldn’t get Tatsumi pinned for long enough. Time ran out and the last match went into overtime. Suzume kicked out of a Hip Attack before the 1 Count but she was done for when Tatsumi hit a Sliding Hip attack for the victory.

Team White were declared the winners and given the meal voucher by Koda. Tatsumi wanted to go eat with Mizuki straight away but then said all of Team White should go together to celebrate. Nakajima complained about the results and told Koda that Suzume deserves something for her performance. He should do something before Nakajima reveals what secret Maria Makino merchandise Koda keeps in his room. Koda stopped her and said everyone who wrestled today deserves a meal so he will treat everyone to lunch at Genghis Khan Kirishima!

Tokyo Nerima coconeri Hall
208 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

4. 3 Way Match: Yuki Kamifuku defeated Mizuki and Haruna Neko when Kamifuku pinned Neko with the Fame Asser (8:37).
5. Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Yuka Sakazaki defeated Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku when Tenma pinned Harajuku with the Killswitch (13:09).
6. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh when Sakisama pinned Yamashita with the Academy Award (14:05).

NEO Biishiki-gun wins the first “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament! It was a close one in the final against 121000000. They took it down towards two against one when Sakisama got rid of Maki Itoh with an Apron PK. Miyu Yamashita almost grabbed victory from the jaws of defeat when she hit Sakisama with the Skull Kick then had her pinned with a German Suplex. Mei Saint-Michel broke the pin with a Double Knee Drop to Yamashita and Sakisama was the first back to her feet. She hit the Academy Award to the back of Yamashita’s head for a nearfall then did the move again from the front to win the final.

When NEO Biishiki-gun were given their trophies, Saint-Michel was thrilled to receive an identical prize that her master gets. Sakisama doesn’t care about the trophies but if her maid is so happy to have a matching item then there is something better out there they should get. Sakisama now want the Princess Tag Team Titles! She called out The Bakuretsu Sisters to sell the belts to her but they refused. Saint-Michel then had a tug of war with Nodoka Tenma over a belt but she lost and was thrown to the canvas. She told NEO Biishiki-gun that if they want the titles then they should win them properly. A title match was made for the next Korakuen Hall show on 17th April. Yuki Aino said that they have to beat NEO Biishiki-gun because they couldn’t do it the last time they had a title match when Sakisama and her partner were the champions.

Backstage after the show, Yamashita apologized to Itoh for losing. Itoh was also sorry because Yamashita always supported her but she couldn’t do the same today. Itoh kept thanking Yamashita for teaming with her then started talking about becoming stronger when she comes back. Yamashita was confused and asked if this was the end of their team but Itoh wouldn’t answer her directly. She only said when she comes back, she will become even stronger…

The semi finals saw NEO Biishiki-gun eliminate HikaShio in a rematch from 4th Janaury and 121000000 beat Kyoraku Kyomei. A disappointed Sena Shiori thought her team with Hikari Noa had gotten stronger but they found out it wasn’t strong enough. Noa remembers chasing after Natsumi Maki when they were a tag team and she learned you cannot get stronger just by doing that. So that’s the lesson Shiori should learn from today. They will continue teaming together so they can become equals. Hyper Misao promised to fight fair but instead used her cloak as a weapon against Yamashita. However she couldn’t beat Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima was held in place with the Itoh Special.

Mizuki got blinded by Haruna Neko during the 3 Way Match after Neko scratched her in the eyes. She continued trying to fight but missed dives and tangled with other people not wrestling in the match by mistake. She ended up falling outside the ring and wrestling with Mahiro Kiryu while Yuki Kamifuku beat Neko.

The theme of today’s BOYZ show was the New BOYZ Army Vs Old BOYZ Army in a battle to determine which generation are the best BOYZ. The Old BOYZ Army didn’t like their team name and thought the BOYZ Older Brothers Army would have been more flattering.

The scheduled main event was a 5 Vs 5 Gauntlet match. Yuki Ueno didn’t think Toru Owashi belonged in BOYZ. Owashi pulled out a marker and tried to draw on Ueno’s face in response to that opinion. Ueno got the marker instead and scribbled on Owashi’s face while he was hanging over the ropes before kicking him out of the ring for the elimination. Owashi got some revenge by helping HARASHIMA eliminated Ueno by pulling him over the ropes and to the floor. Ueno distracted the referee so Toui Kojima could attack HARASHIMA but his chops didn’t do any damage. HARASHIMA got rid of Kojima but that left him open for Chris Brookes to throw him out of the ring. Kojima continued to play a role in the match by catching Brookes to avoid him getting eliminated. That plan failed when Keisuke Ishii went under the ropes and knocked them down so Brookes would touch the floor. Ishii built some momentum by pinning MAO until he was beaten by Konosuke Takeshita. At this point interference was happening from both teams wherever you looked. They all cancelled each other out but the end result to Takeshita and Kazuki Hirata was still a double elimination when Hirata sacrificed himself to eliminate his opponent too. That left Makoto Oishi for the Old BOYZ against Jun Masaoka for the New BOYZ. Masaoka kicked out of the Miracle Ecstasy and hit Oishi below the belt when the referee wasn’t watching. He then got the three count with the Ambitions cradle to win the match for the New BOYZ!

Oishi complained about the Low Blow Masaoka gave him and asked if he learned it from watching a KAIENTAI show? Masaoka said he saw one of their shows around 16 years ago. He also said Oishi was kicking his opponents below the belt 10 years ago so he has nothing to complain about!

There was a bonus main event put together by Akito. He wants BOYZ to have a championship but he doesn’t want it to be another belt. Instead he has a trophy called the KING OF BOYZ WRESTLING and the first champion will be the winner of a Battle Royal starting right now! Everyone who wrestled on the show took part and in the end, Toru Owashi was the winner. He decided to take part at the next BOYZ show on 4th April instead of the YaroZ show taking place in the same venue. Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Iino came out to complain about his decision but Owashi yelled at them to go home. This scenario left Akito worried that the BOYZ and YaroZ are going to fight over Owashi on 4th April.
