GANBARE☆PRO “BATTLE RUNNER 2021”, 17/01/2021
Osaka Hirano Kumin Hall
112 Fans – No Vacancy
1. Woman In Osaka Castle ~Ganjo Special Tag Match~: SAKI & Haruka Aikawa defeated HARUKAZE & Momoka Hanazono when SAKI pinned HARUKAZE with a Brainbuster (14:35).
2. Ganpro East-West Battle 2021!: Tsuyoshi Okada & Kota Umeda defeated Shinichiro Tominaga & Kouki Iwasaki when Iwasaki Umeda pinned Tominaga with the Umeda Driver (9:24).
3. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles – Ganpro Osaka Winter Team! THE HALFEE Vs Pocchari Joshi East-West Allied Forces Full Scale Battle!: Katsuzaki Shunosuke, Moehiko Harumisawa defeated Kuuga, Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase when Shunosuke submitted Manase with the Jumping Cross Armbreaker (9:37).
*V2 for THE HALFEE.
4. Battle Without Honor ~Father Of 2 Children At Home Vs Father Of 2 Children With Child Support~: Ken Ohka defeated Shoichi Uchida with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (14:15).
5. Ganpro Sanada Maru! Team Drift Vs Team MAKAI Special Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Shota & Asuka when Ishii pinned Shota with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (19:07).
For the first time in a year Ganbare☆Pro was back in Osaka. Shota was in a hard fought match today teaming with Asuka against Team Drift. Asuka was taken out by Shigehiro Irie’s Beast Bomber, leaving Shota to fight Keisuke Ishii. Shota countered the High Angle Double Arm DDT into the Gannosuke Clutch but only got a nearfall out of it. Ishii cut off Shota with a Running Knee and pinned him with the Double Arm DDT. Ishii said he didn’t want to be left behind because the other three wrestlers have a lot of momentum behind them. For him it was a stubborn match and a stubborn victory. Shota is finding himself in a rut since losing the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title during the week. He hasn’t won a match since then and now he has to figure out what to do against Yasu Urano now that there is no championship at stake.
The battle of the dads began with Shoichi Uchida trying to start a “Child Support” chant. He doesn’t have a good history with marriage (twice divorced and four kids in total) which makes him mad when he sees other wrestlers with happy families, like Ken Ohka. The two of them argued over their opinions about marriage as the match turned more into a No DQ brawl with chairs involved. Uchida was motivated enough to kick out of the Fire Spear at one but Ohka finished him off with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Ohka shouted at Uchida “Why didn’t you show that passion when you were married?” while he pinned him.
Yuna Manase wanted the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles put on the line at the last minute. THE HALFEE turned her down until Yumehito Imanari handed out pWo (Pocchari World Order) shirts to his tag partners to show they are a unit. Kuuga was given an S sized shirt which he hated so he walked off. He came back when Manase took out an XL shirt for him. THE HALFEE agreed to defend the titles and came out on top. Katsuzaki Shunosuke said the teamwork they’ve been doing for over a year wasn’t going to lost against a brand new team. Shu Sakurai wants to defend the trios title all the time in 2021 and end the year with THE HALFEE appearing in the Red And White Song Battle on New Year’s Eve. Moehiko Harumisawa is annoyed that she didn’t maintain their instruments properly. Imanari still thinks forming the pWo with Manase is a good idea.

DDT “REPRINT YOUNG COMMUNICATION SPECIAL ISSUE”, 16/01/2021
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall
138 Fans
1. Michio Kageyama & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated Gota Ihashi & Rion Mizuki when Hiroshi pinned Mizuki with the Ground Cobra Twist (11:19).
2. Tatsuhiko Yoshino & Daichi Kazato defeated Soma Takao & Shota when Yoshino pinned Shota with the Thunder Crash (13:01).
3. Toru Sugiura defeated Akito with the Swift Driver (17:12).
4. Double Main Event I – 6-Man Tag Match: Ryuichi Sekine, Kazuki Hirata & FUMA defeated Yukihiro Abe, Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie when Hirata pinned Abe with the Egoist Driver (17:20).
5. Double Main Event II: Hideki Okatani defeated Keigo Nakamura with the Double Arm Suplex (13:35).
The Young Communication reunion displayed just how far that generation of wrestlers has spread across the wrestling scene. There were wrestlers representing DDT, Big Japan, FREEDOMS, BASARA, Ganbare☆Pro, #STRONGHEARTS, Team Dera Pro Wrestling and even an acknowledgement towards defunct promotions like Union Pro and Guts World. Some wrestlers have changed a lot over the decade, others haven’t at all.
The teams for the main event were revealed right before the match began. Shigehiro Irie tearfully hugged Ryuichi Sekine after the match while Kazuki Hirata invited all of the wrestlers into the ring. Shota proudly told everyone this is the Young Communication Generation. FUMA remembered when all of them used to wear similar wrestling gear but now they all have their own unique and gorgeous outfits. Keisuke Ishii wants another reunion so everyone here can wrestle each other again. Yukihiro Abe was honest and admitted he doesn’t have any good memories of the Young Communication shows. But today was the opposite for him. Hirata said today proves that the younger generation has a lot of characters.
Everyone exited the ring, walked to the entrance and took a bow. But instead of leaving, they all returned to ringside. Akito explained that there was one more thing left to do before the show ends. Everyone here was young up and coming wrestlers a decade ago. None of them were main event ready but the Young Communication shows they put on gave them the chance to be in a main event. It is time to pass the torch and let the new generation get their chance because it is difficult to do this in DDT these days. Akito invited Hideki Okatani and Keigo Nakamura into the ring. He was giving them the main event! Okatani was able to avenge his defeat to Nakamura from the start of the year and came out on top.
Akito praised Toru Sugiura for growing into a great champion. Sugiura was also complimentary towards Akito for becoming a Vice President.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2021 WINTER ~LOVERS~”, 16/01/2021
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall
147 Fans
1. Maki Itoh defeated Arisu Endo with a Crab Hold (8:08).
2. Shin Ultra Shoko & Hyper Misao defeated Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto when Misao pinned Miyamoto with the Hypami Returns (7:16).
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Pom Harajuku defeated Mirai Maiumi & Sena Shiori when Kamifuku pinned Shiori with the Fame Asser (8:57).
4. Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Haruna Neko defeated Nao Kakuta, Marika Kobashi & Suzume when Aino pinned Suzume with the Venus DDT (15:07).
5. Rika Tatsumi, Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Miu Watanabe, Hikari Noa & Raku when Tatsumi pinned Noa with the Missile Hip (13:50).
Rika Tatsumi noted today was the first time she teamed with The Magical Sugar Rabbits since the Osaka Sannin Matsuri trios tournament one year ago.
The Tokyo Joshingers confronted The Bakuretsu Sisters and challenged them to a match. Shin Ultra Shoko said if the Sisters are the sun setting, then the Joshingers are the sun rising. She wants proof that the Sisters have the strength to keep peace in Tokyo Joshi Pro so they should put the Princess Tag Team Titles on the line. Nodoka Tenma pointed out that Shin Ultra Shoko is only around for a month but Shoko told her not to worry about the details. They agreed to have the title match at the 11th February Korakuen Hall show.
After winning her match, Maki Itoh demanded to fight NEO Biishiki-gun in a 2 Vs 1 Handicap Match at Korakuen. Tetsuya Koda would not agree to it and there was no response from NEO Biishiki-gun to accept the challenge. When she calmed down backstage, Itoh found Miyu Yamashita eating gummies and told her to team up so Koda would book the match as a tag bout.

DDT “ISN’T IT DRAMATIC! 2021”, 11/01/2021
Nagoya City Biwajima Sports Center
109 Fans
1. Hiroaki Ura defeated Toi Kojima with the Fisherman Suplex (6:11).
2. Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Mizuki Watase & Hideki Okatani when Hirata pinned Okatani with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (8:40).
3. Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Yuki Ueno & Keigo Nakamura when Sakaguchi submitted Nakamura with the Sleeper Hold (12:09).
4. Young Communication Generation Vs DDT Legend Army! – Storage Cavity Sealing Rule: Akito & Shota Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Danshoku Dieno ended in a No Contest (8:16).
5. Makoto Oishi & Yusuke Okada defeated Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda when Okada pinned Honda with the Fisherman Buster (12:04).
6. Nagoya Specialty! Doerya Tag Match: Mad Paulie & Yuji Hino defeated HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya when Hino pinned Naya with the Fucking BOMB (14:11).
7. DAMNATION Vs DDT Sauna Club!: Tetsuya Endo, Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & MAO when Endo pinned Katsumata with the Torture Rack Bomb (17:13).
The absence of Jun Akiyama disappoints Tetsuya Endo. He asked where he was and thinks Akiyama will be back at the shows in Hakata next week. He will wait for him there so they can settle their differences before “KAWASAKI STRONG 2021” even takes place. Daisuke Sasaki said he knows the location of the hospital Akiyama is in.
HARASHIMA believes the good parts of Yukio Naya are starting to come out more and more. He found out Naya is one of his opponents at “KAWASAKI STRONG 2021” so he is looking forward to fighting a stronger version of him. Naya promised to do his best against HARASHIMA & Yuji Okabayashi. He will be teaming with Kazusada Higuchi in that match.
Yusuke Okada says he wants to absorb DDT’s style of pro wrestling. He is quickly proving it by studying Antonio Honda and knowing how to fight against Gongitsune. Whenever Honda tried to tell his joke, Okada ignored him and forced a confused Honda to continue wrestling instead. Honda got his trick to work though when he talked to Okada about their favorite Kamen Riders. He made an innuendo out of Takeshi Hongo’s name then poked everyone in the eyes with Gongitsune. Okada still had Honda scouted and blocked the Diving Fist Drop before winning his first DDT match with the Fisherman Buster. Chris Brookes wasn’t pleased with Honda’s antics. Makoto Oishi confirmed to Okada that he is beginning to understand DDT’s wrestling.
Strap yourselves in folks, Match #4 was weird. Shota hadn’t recovered from the Street Fight he wrestled in yesterday and was worried he wouldn’t last in the ring today. Akito assured him their match against Sanshiro Takagi & Danshoku Dieno would only be a test of mental strength and patience. He came up with a match where everyone wore “Super Mouth Cannons” over their faces that made loud honk noises if they breathe too hard. Both teams started with 10 points and would lose a point if the mouth cannon made a noise. This was meant to teach the wrestlers not to over exert themselves. But Yukinori Matsui got knocked down and everyone started a brawling, filling the room with honks. When Matsui got back up he called off the match for being too noisy. The two sides argued over their upcoming KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match afterwards but they still wore the mouth cannons so it was just more honking. Shota enjoyed being in a crazy DDT match but Dieno promised the fun and games are done. When the title match happens on 23rd February it will be simple professional wrestling!
Yukio Sakaguchi warned Yuki Ueno he is going to strangle everyone Ueno teams with until their DDT UNIVERSAL Title match in February. Ueno made fun of Sakaguchi by asking if he wanted to take a picture with the belt again because he won today. Sakaguchi told Ueno to be careful because he can attack him from behind again like he did at Korakuen Hall.
Today in Japan is the Coming Of Age Day, a holiday that celebrates the young people who reach adulthood at the age of 20 years old. For Hideki Okatani that means he is no longer has to be treated like a young boy at ringside by the other wrestlers. Eager to show off his new responsibilities, Okatani begged for Mizuki Watase to tag him in show no fear against Toru Owashi. This made Kazuki Hirata call on Owashi to tag him in too but he was ignored. When Hirata was finally tagged in he kicked out of the Northern Lights Suplex and pinned Okatani with the Miracle One Shot Cradle.

DDT “DDT EXTREME TITLE MATCH”, 10/01/2021
Saitama Sabaccha
0 Fans

1a. Survival Game Match: Nabe Yakan & Makoto Oishi (2) defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Rambo Kawamura (1) (7:32).
1aa. Nabe Yakan (1) shot Rambo Kawamura (0) (5:22).
1ab. Sanshiro Takagi (1) shot Makoto Oishi (1) (5:55).

1b. Human Flag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Rambo Kawamura defeated Nabe Yakan & Makoto Oishi when Takagi grabbed the flag (10:36).
1c. Survival Captain’s Fall Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi (C) & Rambo Kawamura defeated Nabe Yakan (C) & Makoto Oishi when Takagi pinned Yakan with the Spicolli Driver onto the chairs (14:15).
*V10 for Sanshiro Takagi.

The sequel to “EXTREME RECAPTURE STRATEGY” begun with Sanshiro Takagi entering Saitama Sabaccha in search of his stolen DDT Extreme Title belt. The first person he found inside was his former enemy turned ally Rambo Kawamura. The two agreed to work together and find the belt. Delving further into the room, they found their target Nabe Yakan standing on a balcony. With him was Makoto Oishi with the Extreme Title in his hands. Oishi told them he was the mercenary hired by Yakan to steal the title from Takagi in the first place. He swears his alliance to Yakan to pay for his child’s milk. Yakan complained that when he became the champion in Best Body Pro Wrestling he didn’t get any media attention for it so he stole the Extreme Title to make the news!

The two sides agreed to an airsoft gun fight. Yakan calls it a gentleman’s sport so when somebody gets hit with a shot they have to call it out. Kawamura said there are no rules on the battlefield but Yakan then explained if they treat the airsoft fans with respect they may return their appreciation and start following pro wrestling. Takagi agreed to the rules and accepted a challenge consisting of three games.

The first game had three guns hidden in the play area but one of them was empty. The first team to shoot their opponents twice would be the winners. Takagi and Yakan started fighting with a lock up. Oishi and Kawamura both found guns and stalked their prey. Kawamura tried to act as a decoy but Oishi found Takagi and shot him in the shoulder. Takagi was in pain but denied being hit. Yakan then grabbed Oishi’s gun and shot Kawamura with it. Kawamura was honest and admitted he was hit so Yakan got the first point. Takagi shot Oishi to even the odds but ran out of bullets after a fierce battle with Yakan. He was shot over and over until he finally admitted he was hit to end the first game.

The second game was a Human Flag Battle. Keigo Nakamura had a flag stuck to his head and it was up to the teams to find him and grab it. However the room was now filling with smoke to hamper everyone’s sight. Nakamura was also armed with a powerful airgun to defend himself with. Kawamura was shot a lot by Yakan but he found a knife to pull the bullets out of his wounds. Takagi & Kawamura found Nakamura but couldn’t get close to him. That was until Takagi used a chair as a shield and took Nakamura’s fire while Kawamura snuck up behind him. Kawamura shot an arrow at Nakamura’s head to cause great damage and Takagi grabbed the flag to win the second game.

The third and final game was a Survival Captain’s Fall match. Either Takagi or Yakan had to be pinned to end the match and guns were still permitted. Oishi used a rope to kidnap Kawamura so he could torture him into revealing Takagi’s location. Takagi had to watch from a distance as Yakan & Oishi poked Kawamura with a toy knife and pinch his eyelids with clothespins. However Kawamura would not give up the information. Instead he pulled out a grenade and sacrificed himself in an explosion that also took out Oishi! Takagi used the distraction to ambush Yakan for their final battle. He threw Yakan into a castle of chairs and then threw him on top of the chairs with the Spicolli Driver to win the match.

The war is over and Takagi has his belt back. He declared himself the Savage Game champion and also made sure Yakan will publish an article about how strong the DDT champion is. Takagi then found Kawamura and checked to see if he was still alive. Kawamura looked to be okay so Takagi walked off celebrating his victory. But as soon as he turned his back on Kawamura, Kawamura stood up, pulled back his bow and aimed for Takagi’s head. The screen cut to black and the credits rolled. The End.

5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title – Street Fight Style Special Hardcore Match: Shota (c) defeated Miss Mongol with the Gannosuke Clutch (15:29).
*V1 for Shota.
-. Urgent Decision Match – Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Shota (c) Vs Yasu Urano ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).
*V2 for Shota
Shota went through hell today and got not one, but two Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title defences out of it. In the planned main event, Shota defeated Miss Mongol by the skin of his teeth in a Street Fight. Mongol attacked Shota with a barbed wire bat, chairs and a barbed wire board. She gave him a Piledriver through a table and also Power Bombed him onto some chairs. Shota escaped with a win when he countered the Thunder Fire Power Bomb into the Gannosuke Clutch. He said he was proud an an indy wrestler to have an FMW style match against Mongol. He isn’t from the generation that experienced FMW in real time but he understands they are the reason there are many indy groups around now. He also said pro wrestling is no longer divided by age and genders. Mongol said twenty years ago she never thought she could get a shot at the title because it was a championship only for men. She thanked Shota for letting her challenge for it today. Shota encouraged her to continue wrestling especially when her child is at an age where they are starting to understand what she is doing.
When Mongol left the ring, Shota was interrupted by Yasu Urano. They started arguing until Shota over tweets they made about each other during the day. Shota challenged Urano to a match on 24th January with the title on the line. Urano didn’t want to wait that long so Shota decided they would have the match right now! Daisuke Kiso warned the both of them that there was not enough time left in the show to allow a 20 minute time limit. They all agreed to a 10 minute limit and begun the impromptu title match. Urano did the SAYONARA Tombstone but the Frog Splash he did afterwards was blocked with Shota’s knees. Shota put Urano in the Gannosuke Clutch but the bell rang and the match was ruled a draw. Urano blamed the result on being tired because he wrestled two matches today. Shota said it was his second match too. They agreed to a proper title rematch on 24th January. However, Shota also has a title defence at JUST TAP OUT on 15th January. If he loses the title on that show then the match against Urano will have nothing on the line. Urano wants to fight for something so if the belt is out of the picture by then, he is demanding Shota to put his hair on the line!
Ikuto Hidaka continues to mow through the Ganbare☆Pro roster with a victory over Keisuke Ishii. Now he has gotten the attention of Shuichiro Katsumura. He’s not concerned over ages, he just wants to fight strong guys. He promises to beat Hidaka on behalf of Ganpro! Hidaka accepted. His driving force right now is being undefeated in Ganpro. He feels he can’t afford to lose to them at this point.
There was suspicion surrounding HARUKAZE all day. At the start of the show she took out 50,000 yen and told everyone she would give it to a referee as both a New Year’s gift and a bribe. When her match with Asuka began, she started acting weird towards the Daisuke Kiso. When she threw the referee at her opponent, HARUKAZE called for help and her plan was revealed. Yumehito Imanari ran out wearing a referee shirt and took over officiating the match, blatantly helping HARUKAZE. Asuka had to fight against a two on one disadvantage but pulled through with it, kind of by accident. She missed a Spin Kick aimed for HARUKAZE but still caught Imanari with it. That allowed her to give both of them a Double Choke Slam and Kiso recovered to count the pin. Asuka then took her frustration out on Imanari after the match by stomping on his balls.
Ken Ohka gave a speech to start the show. He calls the current situation in Tokyo difficult but you never know what the future holds. That’s why he thinks it is important for everyone to appreciate every moment they have as hard as they can. He doesn’t know if this is the last he is going to say this but the Ganpro wrestlers will fight hard so please give them all of your support this year.

Tatsumi was almost pinned by Raku with the Doctor Yellow but Mahiro Kiryu broke the pin. Tatsumi fought back with a Backbreaker to Raku and then made her give up to the Dragon Sleeper. Tatsumi is feeling good with her start to 2021. She’s going to keep going at this level heading into her first Princess Of Princess Title defence. She asked Miyu Yamashita & Kiryu if they can keep up with her.
Mirai Maiumi challenged Yuki Kamifuku for the International Princess Title. Kamifuku asked if she understood what international means? Maiumi does and she wants to spread her name across the world. Kamifuku thinks if Maiumi does her best she can turn the world into Maiumi Believers. She accepted the battle to determine who is more international! They’ll do it in Korakuen Hall on 11th February because according to Kamifuku it is one of Tokyo’s three major attractions that rural people like Maiumi love.
The “debut” of Shin Ultra Shoko saw her in red superhero gear coming out to the Ultraman Leo song. She did the Ultra Rider Kick, the Ultra Neckbreaker, the Ultra Butterfly Lock and won with the Ultra Northern Lights Suplex. She also did a double team move with Hyper Misao called the Ultra Hyper Judgement. It is the I Am A Hero and the Ultra Rider Kick done at the same time. Misao had to remind everyone during their post-match interview that everything Ultra is doing is not a copy of any existing superhero property. It is an original character!

*V1 for Eruption.
6. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Yuki Ueno (c) defeated Shota with the WR (16:53).
*V2 for Yuki Ueno.

DDT’s second visit to Korakuen Hall this year was headlined with a DDT UNIVERSAL Title defence. Yuki Ueno got a measure of revenge when he pinned Shota in a 6-Man Tag last week and firmly got the rest of it by beating him again today. Shota was over reliant on the Gannosuke Clutch and when that couldn’t get him a win he tried cheating instead. He used ropes for leverage on pins and gave Ueno a Low Blow when the referee was knocked away. But Shota went back to the Gannosuke Clutch which Ueno had figured out by then. Ueno avoided the move, stunned Shota with a Dropkick and pinned him with the WR for the successful title defence.

Ueno wanted to give Shota microphone time after the match but he declined and left the ring. Ueno joked that he would have to talk by himself for five minutes, then said he learned so much from Shota over the 5 years he’s known him. He was happy to face Shota in his first match of 2021 and he is both the most annoying and most entertaining opponent. Hisaya Imabayashi asked Ueno who he would like to defend the UNIVERSAL Title against next. Ueno said Yukio Sakaguchi! He learned a lot from Sakaguchi last year such as what it’s like to get choked out and why you always see worried faces above you when you regain consciousness. Sakaguchi accepted the match and asked to look at the title belt. When he held it he posed with it and told Ueno that is where the title should be. He handed it back to Ueno but warned nominating him was the biggest mistake he could make. Imabayashi decided the title match will happen at “KAWASAKI STRONG 2021” on 14th February.

In the backstage interviews, Sakaguchi said there are no grand slam champions in DDT since the creation of the UNIVERSAL Title. He is aiming to be the first new grand slam champion in DDT and to do that he has to go after both the UNIVERSAL Title and the DDT Extreme Title. When Ueno did his interview, Sakaguchi snuck up behind him and choked him out with the Sleeper Hold.

Sakaguchi still holds the KO-D Tag Team Titles with Kazusada Higuchi. The Eruption pair held on against a CimaSoma team with a lot of momentum behind them. CIMA & Soma Takao wore the same matching outfits from “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020” and had the same effort of teamwork from back then. There was also high risk like CIMA using the Meteora to break up Sakaguchi’s Sleeper Hold on Takao. However Sakaguchi clasped the Sleeper Hold back onto Takao and CIMA couldn’t rescue him again. Takao went motionless and the match was stopped, making Eruption the winners.

Shunma Katsumata, Konosuke Takeshita & MAO from the DDT Sauna Club approached Eruption after the match. Katsumata challenged them to put the KO-D Tag Titles on the line against all three of them. Sakaguchi called him stupid and Imabayashi told them it can’t happen that way. Takeshita & MAO tried to leave but Katsumata then said those two could face Eruption instead. Sakaguchi knocked out Katsumata with an Elbow Strike and accepted the challenge. Kazusada Higuchi & Sakaguchi Vs Takeshita & MAO for the titles will happen at the 23rd February Nagoya show and it will be the main event!

The #DAMNHEARTS group received major news when CimaSoma got back to the locker room. Daisuke Sasaki had apparently talked to #STRONGHEARTS before the match and agreed if CimaSoma didn’t win the tag titles then the business alliance will be dissolved. #DAMNHEARTS is splitting up! Takao said he heard nothing about this and CIMA doesn’t remember making this decision although he agreed it has been a while since DAMNATION and #STRONGHEARTS worked together. Sasaki promised both sides will do something together again when the pandemic is over.

With Jun Akiyama out of action for the rest of this month, the newcomer Yusuke Okada took his place and wasted no time in getting to wrestle Tetsuya Endo. There was still Junretsu representation in the match with Makoto Oishi & Mizuki Watase involved. Oishi overcame danger when he kicked out of a Standing Moonsault from Endo followed by a Standing Shooting Star Press from Nobuhiro Shimatani. Oishi pulled Shimatani to the mat and made him tap to the Fujiyama Knee Lock. Endo grabbed the microphone out of Oishi’s hands and said he is going to crush Akiyama on 14th February. As he was leaving, Oishi responded that he might crush Endo before Endo gets to face Akiyama! Backstage Sasaki revealed what he learned during his time off with injury. Pro wrestling is about love and romance, just like the movie Titanic. What’s missing in the ring right now is romance. He found it and will show it to everyone soon.

MAO dusted off the Cannonball 450° to win DDT Sauna Club’s tag match. First he got rid of HARASHIMA with a Plancha, then Takeshita took care of Yukio Naya with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster to set up the 450° finish.

Katsumata is an eager fellow but it got him into a lot of painful situations today. He tried jumping Yuji Hino & Mad Paulie at the start of their tag match but did so without Chris Brookes joining him. Brookes instead stayed in the corner and did “NeppoWER!!” chants with no other intention of fighting the heavyweight opponents. Hino caught Katsumata in mid-air and Brookes did a Missile Dropkick to them to get his partner a nearfall. There were blocks for both the ¡Hasta la vista! and Fucking BOMB but Hino ended up winning out in the end.

Heavy snow in Niigata prevented Super Sasadango Machine from travelling to Tokyo for today’s show. He was replaced by a “3D Avatar” of himself. In other words it was Keigo Nakamura in a Sasadango mask. Sasadango also provided a PowerPoint presentation on Zoom before the opening match explaining the importance of filing tax returns. His example was getting the wrestlers in his match to all wrestle in their own expensive clothing because they can treat it as tax deductible ring gear. This made a few people like Saki Akai uncomfortable because they did not want their personal belongings used in the match. She was proven right when Kazuki Hirata tried to steal her handbag and it got knocked out of the ring. Toru Owashi revealed he was wearing the O-40 Title underneath his hoodie. Danshoku Dieno pulled off Akito’s rare sneakers and shoved one of them into Akito’s mouth. He then threw them away causing Akito to chase after them. Sanshiro Takagi wore a watch that costs 1.1 million yen and used it to stop Antonio Honda’s Gongitsune joke. Hirata took the watch, grabbed a chair and tried to smash it. Takagi took the chair swung it at Hirata but missed and smashed the watch instead! He was in so much shock that Hirata easily pinned Takagi with a School Boy.

Nakamura was also in the pre-show match. He and Toi Kojima lost to Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Hideki Okatani. The match came down to Kojima and Okatani. A Running Neckbreaker was used to set up the Northern Lights Suplex for Okatani to win.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’21”, 04/01/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
683 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Arisu Endo Debut Match: Suzume defeated Arisu Endo with the Ring A Bell (6:39).
2. Yuna Manase & Moka Miyamoto defeated Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko when Manase pinned Harajuku with the Suzuki Dynamic (6:41).
3. New Year! Red And White Rope Match ~Rename In The Capsule Toy~: Hyper Misao (2) defeated Shoko Nakajima (1) when Misao grabbed the Capsule Toys (10:59).
4. Miu Watanabe, Nao Kakuta & Mirai Maiumi defeated Aja Kong, Mizuki & Raku when Watanabe pinned Raku with the Tear Drop (11:59).
5. Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori when Saint-Michel submitted Shiori with the Saint-Michel (13:34).
6. Miyu Yamashita defeated Maki Itoh by Knockout with the Skull Kick (13:05).
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino (c) defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Tenma pinned Kiryu with the Killswitch (14:34).
*V1 for The Bakuretsu Sisters.
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuka Sakazaki (c) by Referee Stoppage with a Figure 4 Leg Lock (19:22).
*Yuka Sakazaki fails in V5. Rika Tatsumi becomes the 8th Princess Of Princess Champion!

The White Dragon seizes the white crown! Rika Tatsumi was the only active wrestler from year one of Tokyo Joshi Pro to have never won the Princess Of Princess Title. Today she finally became the champion by beating the dominant Yuka Sakazaki. The White Dragon Sleeper was countered into a Cradle nearfall that almost led to Tatsumi’s demise. But fortune was on her side when she rolled out of the way of the Magical Girl Niwatori Yaro. Sakazaki hurt her legs on the landing so Tatsumi used a series of Dragon Screws to set up a Figure 4 Leg Lock. Sakazaki tried to escape but ended up back in the hold and eventually fainted. Daisuke Kiso ruled the match in favour of Tatsumi, making her the new champion!

When Sakazaki recovered she shook Tatsumi’s hand and hugged her. Tatsumi got on the microphone and talked about all the times she challenged for the title and failed. There is a lot going on in the world but she hopes Tokyo Joshi can be a source of hope for everyone just like it is for her. She wants to defend the belt until the day she dies! Miu Watanabe congratulated her Daydream partner and then challenged her for the title. She grew so much from teaming with Tatsumi. This year she wants to surpass her. Tatsumi is happy that Watanabe is her first challenger and she wants the match to happen on the 11th February Korakuen Hall show. Backstage, Tatsumi repeated her goal to defend the belt until she dies. Except she can’t die because dragons are immortal. She’ll live for 100 years and even if she does end up retiring, it will be as the champion. Even then she will continue defending the belt for a century!

The Bakuretsu Sisters defeated Toyo University Tag in their first Princess Tag Team Titles defence. Yuki Aino blocked Yuki Kamifuku’s Fame Asser and held her up for Nodoka Tenma to complete the Bakuretsu Bulldog. Mahiro Kiryu tried to give Tenma the Spinebuster but it was blocked and turned into a Fall Away Slam. Tenma then hit the Killswitch for the pin. The champions were asked if it is more difficult defending the titles than it was winning them? Tenma wants to keep trying and find new ways to challenge herself. Aino said attacks are the best defence.

Coming up with a new move didn’t change a thing for Maki Itoh’s singles record against Miyu Yamashita. She locked in the Itoh Royal after countering the Crash Rabbit Heat but this time Yamashita kicked out of it. Itoh went for the Itoh Deluxe but Yamashita used Headbutts to avoid the move. Itoh Headbutted her back and got knocked down with a High Kick in return. Itoh gave Yamashita the middle finger when she stood back up so she got knocked out with the Skull Kick. Yamashita stuck out her fist to Itoh after the match. Everyone expected Itoh to stick out her middle finger again but she bumped fists instead. Yamashita said she doesn’t know what will happen this year but she would like to wrestle overseas as soon as possible if it is allowed.

To the surprise of no one, NEO Biishiki-gun continues to look down on their opponents. They had Sena Shiori beaten with the Tarte Tatin but Hikari Noa broke the pin. She tried to turn the match around until Sakisama got rid of her with an Apron PK. Mei Saint-Michel then trapped Shiori in the Saint-Michel submission hold to tap her out. Sakisama called today’s win a beautiful victory. Saint-Michel spoke about the Chinese zodiac and told her master this year is the year of the ox. Sakisama doesn’t care because the world is all about her. Saint-Michel then told her she found a restaurant that specializes in cow meat that they should try. It’s called Yoshinoya! Sakisama never heard of it but requested a reservation right away.

Raku convinced Aja Kong to join in the Goodnight Express. That’s the most important thing to know about this match. But give it up to their opponents, they all tried to step up to Kong. Watanabe attempted the Canadian Backbreaker but couldn’t get her up. Kong grabbed her metal can and hit both Watanabe & Nao Kakuta with it. Mirai Maiumi though blocked Kong’s attack and took her down with a Lariat. Mizuki got rid of Maiumi with a Diving Body Attack to the outside but no one was there to stop Watanabe pinning Raku with the Tear Drop.

One year ago, Shoko Nakajima beat Hyper Misao in a match where the loser had to change their name for one month. Revenge is sweet! In the rematch both women were supposed to be connected together with a red and white rope. That proved to be difficult so they tried to wrestle around it. 100 capsules were attached to the top ropes with 10 of them containing prizes. The first person to find two of the prizes will win. The fight degenerated into a ringside brawl, a tug of war, a kaiju toy fight and then just a scramble to find the capsule prizes. They kept finding empty capsule until they both got one a piece. Nakajima went for the 619 but Misao dodged it and tied up her opponent’s arms and legs with the rope. With Misao unable to move, Misao kept opening the remaining capsules until she finally found her second prize to win the match. Misao will announce Nakajima’s new name at the next show. Nakajima tried to protest the result because the rope kept breaking on them. The result stands. Nakajima hopes her new name will be something like Shin Shoko Nakajima instead of something ridiculous.

Yuna Manase stepped in to replace Marika Kobashi on short notice when Kobashi tested positive for the Coronavirus and was pulled from the show on New Year’s Day. Manase was able to take charge and win the match for her and Moka Miyamoto. After her time away, Manase did notice some growth from her opponents. She understands Pom Harajuku has come up with new ways to sneak her kicks on opponents. And Haruna Neko is on the offensive more than ever. Miyamoto was happy to be on the winning side at the start of the year. She will use this as motivation to win her first match by herself.

The debut match for Arisu Endo saw her put Suzume in a Camel Clutch. Suzume used the ropes to give Endo a Facebuster and then hit the Ring A Bell for the victory. Endo said she was nervous before the match but once she stood in the ring she enjoyed being there. She repeated her goal to become energetic and strong like Reika Saiki.

DDT “NEW YEAR’S DAY GIFT SPECIAL! ALL SEATS 3,000 YEN SPECIAL BOX OFFICE!! 2021”, 03/01/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
713 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Keigo Nakamura defeated Hideki Okatani with a Cradle (7:42).
2. Antonio Honda 43rd Birthday & 16th Anniversary Debut Match: Antonio Honda defeated Choun-Shiryu with the Diving Fist Drop (9:14).
3. Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Gota Ihashi defeated Toru Owashi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Toui Kojima when Sakaguchi pinned Kojima with the PK (9:37).
4. Mad Paulie, Nobuhiro Shimatani & Hiroshi Yamato defeated Makoto Oishi, Mizuki Watase & Yukio Naya when Paulie pinned Watase with the Reverse Splash (12:19).
5. 1 Vs 3 Handicap Match: Shinya Aoki, Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine defeated Sanshiro Takagi when Aoki pinned Takagi with a Jackknife Pin (10:00).
6. Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Yuki Ueno defeated Akito, Kazuki Hirata, Shota & Keisuke Ishii when Ueno pinned Shota with the BME (14:34).
7. Tetsuya Endo, Soma Takao & Yuji Hino (w/ Daisuke Sasaki) defeated HARASHIMA, Kazusada Higuchi & Chris Brookes when Endo pinned Brookes with the Shooting Star Press (17:18).

The first DDT show of 2021 was almost entirely a surprise card. The audience only knew what the matches were once they were ready to begin. For the main event HARASHIMA, Kazusada Higuchi & Chris Brookes joined forces to fight DAMNATION. While all of DAMNATION were at ringside, Daisuke Sasaki got directly involved by grabbing Brookes by the leg. Yuji Hino brought it to both HARASHIMA & Higuchi. Soma Takao overheard Higuchi insult CIMA which spurred him on to fight through the Brain Claw. Tetsuya Endo got the win in the end by hitting Brookes with Tetsuya In The Sky, the Swivel Torture Rack Bomb and finally the Shooting Star Press. Endo looked over to Jun Akiyama at the commentary table while the pin was counted.

Shouting was heard over by the entrance after the match. It was Yuki Iino calling for Hino’s attention while the rest of ALL OUT tried to hold him back. Iino pushed his teammates back, entered the ring and demanded to face Hino in an arm wrestling contest on the canvas. Hino was confused but he accepted the challenge and won. Iino got mad over losing and had to be held back again while Konosuke Takeshita introduced him to Hino. He then explained that Iino’s return match from injury will be at “KAWASAKI STRONG 2021” on 14th February when ALL OUT takes on DAMNATION. He then suggested that Iino and Hino have a singles match at the next big event after that. Hisaya Imabayashi agreed to book Iino Vs Hino in Nagoya on 23rd February. ALL OUT dragged Iino away while Endo took the microphone and warned Akiyama that he is always ready. Endo closed out the show by saying this year he is aiming for more than just the Tokyo Sports MVP Award. He wants to make scandalous news stories with glamourous women in the tabloids too!

Another 8-Man Tag pitted the two new units that have unexpectedly taken over DDT in the last few months. All four members of the DDT Sauna Club came out first, followed by the Young Communication Generation. The latter team then surprised everyone by bringing out Keisuke Ishii! Akito warned him about the Sauna Club’s “Heat Wave WER!!” pose but he didn’t understand it. Kazuki Hirata did a Plancha to the outside while Ishii did his work. The Sauna Club isolated Shota and piled on the top rope moves to him. Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Yuki Ueno hit Diving Body Presses one after the other but Ueno’s pin was broken up. Shota caught Ueno in the Gannosuke Clutch but MAO was there to break that pin up. Ueno got to recover and beat Shota with the BME. Backstage Ishii said it was the first time in a long while he wrestled in DDT (not counting BOYZ) and he would like to appear more in 2021 to be with his friends in Young Communication again. Shota wants to make it a year where Ganbare☆Pro doesn’t lose to DDT. Meanwhile Katsumata wants to make 2021 the year of the Sauna Club!

One of the matches was supposed to be Sanshiro Takagi & Danshoku Dieno Vs Shinya Aoki & Super Sasadango Machine. But backstage before the match Dieno, Aoki & Sasadango were all complaining about Takagi’s tweets including one that where Takagi was showing off his calves. The three of them instead decided to gang up on Takagi in a Handicap Match and purposely target his calf. Aoki put him in a Jail Hold while Dieno & Sasadango brought out a bag containing some of Takagi’s personal belongings. Sasadango found Takagi’s wallet, pulled out 29,000 yen in cash and raffled it off to three fans in the audience. Dieno eventually thought things went overboard and he felt sorry for Takagi. It is thanks to Takagi that they get to wrestle this year so the best New Year’s gift is to give Takagi his first win of 2021. Sasadango agreed and with Dieno they both attacked Aoki. Dieno is still recovering from the fire extinguisher attack to his rear but Takagi forced to go into the Hell Gate position. That lost him Sasadango’s support and Takagi was thrown face first into the Hell Gate. Aoki kicked Takagi in the calf, Sasadango did the Vertical Drop Lehmann Shock and Aoki pinned him with a Jackknife. Backstage Sasadango offered to be on Aoki’s team at “KAWASAKI STRONG 2021” because they should be fighting for a better goal than satisfying Takagi’s desires. They like Takagi but will not be used by him anymore!

As Takagi was leaving the ring after his match, he was suddenly approached at ringside by Yusuke Okada! The former All Japan wrestler introduced himself to the audience and told them he wants to experience a new world of pro wrestling now that he became freelance. He asked Takagi if he could have a match in DDT. Takagi questioned his interest in DDT after seeing the match that just happened. He then passed the request over to Imabayashi, who wasn’t expecting that. Imabayashi told Okada he will book him on next week’s Korakuen Hall show on 9th January.

DAMNATION’s good run begun earlier in the show when Mad Paulie, Nobuhiro Shimatani & Hiroshi Yamato beat Makoto Oishi, Mizuki Watase & Yukio Naya. Paulie threw Yamato onto Watase with an X-Style Iconoclasm. Shimatani then hopped onto Paulie’s back and they jumped on top of Watase for a nearfall when Oishi & Naya broke it up. Paulie then hit Watase with a Lariat and won with the Reverse Splash.

Gota Ihashi didn’t get to wrestle in Korakuen Hall last year so he wanted to make up for lost time. This year he wants to join a unit and rampage all over DDT. There is only one unit he wants to join and that’s Eruption! He came out with his own custom entrance video wearing an Eruption coat made out of posters. He even drew his own version of the Eruption logo calling it Ihaption. Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai were bemused over this but it kind of worked out in the end. Akai gave Toru Owashi a Brainbuster and Ihashi went toe to toe with Tomomitsu Matsunaga. Eruption(?) then focused their attacks on Toui Kojima. Ihashi almost lost the match when he missed the Moonsault. Akai kicked Ihashi out of frustration and Sakaguchi tagged himself in to finish Kojima off. Sakaguchi & Akai had enough of Ihashi and walked off on him backstage. However he believes he can continue teaming with Eruption and together they can all go after the KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles.

Antonio Honda’s big day was almost ruined when he tripped on the ropes and hurt his knee. Choun-Shiryu knew what was coming and attacked Honda before he could tell his latest Gongitsune joke. Honda lived up to the big occasion though and hit a Topé Suicida and the Tenzan Tombstone Driver on route to victory.

The first DDT match of 2021 was Keigo Nakamura’s first ever singles victory! He defeated his generation rival Hideki Okatani by cradling his way out of the Double Arm Suplex. Nakamura currently has a 1-3 record against Okatani so he wants to reverse the numbers this year.

Some more matches were booked for “KAWASAKI STRONG 2021”. Akai will be teaming with Maya Yukihi from Ice Ribbon to take on Saori Anou & Miyako Matsumoto. Yukihi said she discovered DDT more than 10 years ago so she is deeply moved to be wrestling a match for them. She thought she was going to fight against Akai but Imabayashi corrected her. Akai always wanted to team with her because she is beautiful and strong. She is also excited to face Anou again. When Imabayashi asked Akai & Yukihi about Matsumoto, they both declined to answer. They were asked again backstage and Yukihi finally had something to say. “In terms of strength, beauty and glamour, Miyako-san will never the best.”

The New Year’s Shuffle Tag Tournament winners Smile Pissari will team again at the Culttz Kawasaki show. HARASHIMA & Yuji Okabayashi will face a team yet to be determined.

Takagi will return to the battlefield for his next DDT Extreme Title defence. He takes on Nabe Yakan from Best Body Pro Wrestling on 10th January. The match was made when earlier in the day Yakan led a bunch of soldiers armed with air guns into the locker room to steal the Extreme Title belt.
