3. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Endo pinned Harajuku with the Ju no Okite (11:32).

5. 3 Way Match: Mizuki defeated Rika Tatsumi and Hyper Misao when Mizuki pinned Misao with the Diving Foot Stomp (13:50).
6. Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Arai defeated Miu Watanabe & Miyu Yamashita when Nakajima pinned Yamashita with the Diving Senton (16:48).

After a couple days off it was onto Show #3 of the Texas Stampede tour. Tokyo Joshi Pro was now visiting Arlington near Dallas and again grew a very strong attendance number. I still have my doubts over how many of these tickets were being comped or heavily discounted but TJPW being able to attract 1,400+ people each time for three seperate shows held in America within a week is an achievement no matter how it was done.

Today’s main event was the last preview match between Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai before “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” takes place next weekend. However the final moments of the match instead focused on Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima continuing on from their singles match in Austin a few days ago. Nakajima countered the Attitude Adjustment into a Hurricanrana and then ran over to dive out of the ring onto Watanabe. Back in the ring Arai cut off Watanabe with a Big Boot and hit the Finally kick on her afterward. Nakajima then got to the top rope and hit the Diving Senton onto Yamashita to get the three count. Backstage Nakajima said she got revenge for losing to Yamashita a few days ago and since it was in a tag match, it is double the payback! She’s now ready to go fight with the Super Sentai in Sumo Hall next weekend. Arai would have liked to directly beat Watanabe today but thinks she at least now has momentum after she finally hit the Finally on her rival. Watanabe admitted to feeling humiliated from being hit with that move after being able to avoid it up until now.

A flight delay sadly prevented Jada Stone from making it to the show so her match against Rika Tatsumi was scrapped. Tatsumi was instead added to the Mizuki Vs Hyper Misao bout to make it a 3 Way Match. Misao talked to the fans in English before the match began, telling everyone that Mizuki is a devil and Tatsumi is crazy. She then told fans not to worry about them hearing that because neither of them understand English. During the match Misao would wrap up her opponents together with the detached ring apron and then crash the Hyper Dramatic Dream into them. There was also a castle of chairs built near the entrance for Misao to cycle towards but the bike fell apart before she could get there. She instead charged towards her opponents on foot and ended up being sent crashing into the castle by herself. Chaos continued with Mizuki climbing up the entrance gate to do a Diving Cross Body onto everybody standing on the entrance ramp. Mizuki then brought Misao back to the ring and hit the Diving Foot Stomp on her to win the match.

Raku & Pom Harajuku continued showing off their love for Buc-ee by wearing their one piece outfits of the mascot for their match again. They also wheeled out a gachapon machine to use against Daisy Monkey, first by pushing the machine into them and then by pulling out gacha toys to use as weapons. Daisy Monkey got their own back by stripping the Buc-ee outfits off their opponents and then putting it on themselves. Raku threw the empty gacha balls at Arisu Endo to break up the Camel Clutch she had put Harajuku in. Suzume helped Endo get rid of Raku and Endo went on to pin Harajuku with the Ju no Okite.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – AUSTIN DAY 2” Results

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – AUSTIN DAY 2”, 18/03/2026
Palmer Events Center, Austin, Texas, USA
1,561 Fans

Day 2 of the Texas Stampede tour was also the last of Tokyo Joshi Pro’s appearances at this year’s SXSW festival in Austin. Just like yesterday they drew a really good turnout although it’s currently not possible to tell how much of the crowd were ticket buyers and how many got comped in through their SXSW passes. Still, everyone working the show gathered together at the end to thank the city of Austin for hosting them over the last two days. After taking a break for a couple of days, TJPW will next move on to Dallas and Houston this weekend for the remaining dates of their tour.

While yesterday’s show had a focus around building towards “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, today’s match lineup was more scattershot. Miu Watanabe & Suzume teamed up in the main event just over two months after they fought each other for the Princess Of Princess Title at the annual 4th January show in Korakuen Hall. Their opponents Mizuki & Uta Takami started off as a makeshift team entering the Max Heart Tournament until they went on a Cinderella run all the way to the final. It was nothing but pride on the line and the two teams still showed out. Mizuki countered the Tear Drop into the Whirling Candy then Takami dazed Watanabe with her speed to get her into the Koala Clutch. Watanabe got a rope break the first time then countered a second Koala Clutch into a Power Slam. Watanabe then used her power to fight off her opponents two against one until Suzume jumped in to give Mizuki the Ring A Bell. Watanabe then finished off Takami with the Tear Drop for the victory.

The two longest active wrestlers in the TJPW roster faced off in the semi-main event. Both Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima have been with the promotion since pretty much the beginning yet it’s been around two and a half years since they last had a singles match against each other. Neither wanted to lose and pulled out the abilities to kick out of each other’s finishers. Yamashita kicked out of the Northern Lights Suplex while Nakajima was lucky to had been standing on the ring apron when she was hit with the Skull Kick. That meant she had to be dragged away from the ropes giving her enough recovery time to kick out of the pin. However Yamashita caught Nakajima off guard with a Running Knee Strike to the back, leaving her as a sitting duck for the Crash Rabbit Heat. Backstage Yamashita said she doesn’t get to wrestle her contemporaries one on one as often as she used to because the TJPW roster keeps growing with new members. But Nakajima is an opponent who always makes Yamashita feel the need to get even stronger. Nakajima said Yamashita somehow becomes 100 times more motivated whenever she is in America, like the country gives her some sort of skills buff. They’ll be wrestling each other in a tag match on the Houston show so she will aim to get revenge for today’s loss over there.

When Rika Tatsumi found out they were selling popcorn in the venue she couldn’t help but get a bucket for herself. Thankfully some fans standing ahead of her in the queue decided to give her their bucket and she accepted the gift. She then force fed Yuki Aino the popcorn while they wrestled their match.

Both Raku & Pom Harajuku entered the ring for their match wearing Buc-ee one piece outfits. Meanwhile the referee known only to everyone as Mike tried to plug his ears with tissue to block out Harajuku’s screaming. It worked until Harajuku pulled the tissue out of his ears. Ober Eats got fed up with the other team’s antics and stripped them out of the outfits. Wakana Uehara then got the rare boos against her by throwing the costumes out of the ring. Harajuku later brought the costumes back for the hot tag, giving one to Yuki Kamifuku so she could challeng her to a Buc-ee Fight! Kamifuku joined in the fun but ruined it by poking Harajuku in the eyes before pinning her with the Famouser.

The emergence of Sakura Hattori sparked some curiosity in Hyper Misao. Before their match began, Misao avoided shaking Hattori’s hand to get on the microphone. She wanted to ask Hattori two questions. First, is she a ninja? Hattori nodded. Second, is she justice? Hattori wouldn’t answer and also slapped away a handshake so Misao determined she must be evil! Misao attacked her with such heroic actions as spraying her in the face and crashing the Hyper Dramatic Dream into her at ringside. But back in the ring Hattori dodged the Hypami Returns, tripped Misao down and then tangled her up in a llave style cradle to pin her for the three count.

Yuki Arai displayed brand new wrestling gear in the opening match. She rekindled her Kyoto Tag team with Mifu Ashida to take on the makeshift pairing of Arisu Endo & Shino Suzuki. Late in the match Arai put Suzuki in the Scorpion Death Lock but Endo broke it up with a Super Kick. Ashida got Endo with a Hook Kick before throwing her away with a German Suplex. She then helped Arai give Suzuki the Full Nelson Buster. After that, Arai used a new Spinning Brainbuster to win the match.

The show again opened up with a performance by The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) along with the Megami Maids while Sayuri Namba hosted everything.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – AUSTIN DAY 1” Results

March 18, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW TEXAS STAMPEDE – AUSTIN DAY 1”, 17/03/2026
Palmer Events Center, Austin, Texas, USA
1,951 Fans

1. Suzume defeated Uta Takami with the Ring A Bell (6:12).
2. Sakura Hattori defeated Shino Suzuki with the Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura (8:54).
3. Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao & Mifu Ashida when Raku pinned Ashida with the Doctor Yellow (10:25).
4. Miyu Yamashita & Arisu Endo defeated Mizuki & Yuki Aino when Yamashita pinned Aino with the Skull Kick (13:53).
5. Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee defeated Shoko Nakajima & Wakana Uehara when McKay pinned Uehara after the IIdolizer (10:15).
6. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Yuki Arai when Watanabe pinned Arai with the Tear Drop (15:08).

Last year’s Texas tour was such a smash hit for Tokyo Joshi Pro that they’ve done it again this year, this time on a bigger scale. Four shows are on the bill this time around with the first two taking place in Austin as part of the SXSW festival. The crowd at the show were a mix of ticket buyers and festival attendees which all added up to a total announced attendance of 1,951 fans for the show. How much the split is between ticket buyers and festival passes hasn’t been revealed (and probably won’t be until well after the series has ended) but it is still a great number to start with for the tour.

Day 1 of the tour provided plenty of warm up matches for “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” happening back in Japan at the end of the month. Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai had another tag team clash against each other. Watanabe had Rika Tatsumi as her partner and the combined strength of Daydream was too much for the Double YUKI pair of Arai & Yuki Kamifuku to handle. Tatsumi’s Hip Attack broke Watanabe free from Arai’s Scorpion Death Lock, then Watanabe went on a roll by Backbreaking Kamifuku out of action before hitting her signature moves on Arai for the victory. Daydream told the fans to come back tomorrow so TJPW can spread their love even further across Texas.

Before Kamifuku went out to wrestle in the main event, she got to watch her Ober Eats tag partner Wakana Uehara face The IInspiration in a preview of their Princess Tag Team Titles match at Sumo Hall. Uehara & Shoko Nakajima did their best but weren’t able to pull off the win. Jessie McKay blocked Uehara’s attempt at the Sushi Tornado and instead gave her the Pedigree. Nakajima was then taken out with a Blue Thunder Bomb from Cassie Lee, leaving Uehara defenceless. The IInspiration then put her away with their Magic Killer style Flapjack finisher called The IIdolizer. We’ll next see them at Sumo Hall when they will challenge Ober Eats for the Princess Tag Titles.

Today is a very happy birthday for Miyu Yamashita because she received a warm welcome from the Texas crowd and also got to Skull Kick Yuki Aino’s head off. Meanwhile Mizuki was able to arm herself with another Pico Pico Hammer to replace the one that was recently stolen from her. She proved to be some trouble for Yamashita & Arisu Endo to handle. Aino tried to push her weight around with Shoulder Blocks to Yamashita but then the Skull Kick took her down and out.

Hyper Misao spoke in English to introduce herself and Mifu Ashida to the fans. However by the time she was done, Raku & Pom Harajuku decided to take a nap in the middle of the ring. Ashida tried to wake them up with her cheering but it didn’t work. It was all a trap for the other team to roll them up for nearfall. Outside the ring Misao crashed the Hyper Dramatic Dream into the other team. Harajuku would get her revenge later in the match when Raku suddenly wheeled her out in her own Tesla and used it to run Misao over! Raku then got back into the ring to pin Ashida with the Doctor Yellow.

The former Kaya Toribami has now become Sakura Hattori with today’s show being the debut of her new persona. Gone is the high flying skills of the cassowary and in its place were agility and strikes taken from ninja jujutsu. A Flying Forearm got Hattori a nearfall but Shino Suzuki fought back by putting all of her power into a Sleeper Hold and the Swinging Neckbreaker. Hattori blocked the Belly-To-Belly Suplex and kicked out of the Rolling Backward Cradle before grabbing Suzuki in her new submission finisher. It is a Kata-Gatame style Shoulder Hold called the Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura.

The opener saw Suzume defeat Uta Takami without too much trouble. She had a mishap when Takami dodged the Mikazuki Meteor Shower but Suzume quickly got back control by using the Corner Dive Facecrusher to shut down her opponent’s comeback. One Ring A Bell later and Suzume had her hand raised in victory.

It was as authentic a TJPW show that the promotion and their partners Tokyo Story USA could put together. Sayuri Namba was the ring announcer and The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) performed a song at the start of the show. Just like with last year’s tour, they were joined by the Megami Maids for the performance.


MYSTERY WRESTLING X BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS Results

March 17, 2026

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS/MYSTERY WRESTLING “MYSTERY WRESTLING X BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS”, 17/03/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Baliyan Akki & Mei Suruga defeated Dark King Ueki & Princess Ram (w/ Munek) when Suruga pinned Ueki after the Dolphin Press (10:50).
2. HADDY & Junior Benito defeated Antonio Honda & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi when HADDY submitted Honda with the Crossface (10:25).
3. MAO defeated Fuminori Abe with an Side School Boy (12:55).
4. Chris Brookes & El Phantasmo defeated Evil Uno & Kikutaro when Phantasmo pinned Uno with the CR II onto the Plastic Box filled with firecrackers (20:44).

Evil Uno did not come alone for his latest tour of Japan. He brought along some buddies from Mystery Wrestling to be the “Friends” in Baka Gaijin + Friends this month! The two wacky wrestling promotions joined forces for a joint show and Chris Brookes personally welcomed Uno to ARENA Shimokitazawa. The two would face off in a main event tag match with mystery partners. Brookes expected Uno’s partner to be a Canadian wrestler but couldn’t guess who because the other Canadians who travelled over had already wrestled on the undercard. Uno couldn’t afford that but had a friend in Japan willing to team with him. It was Kikutaro! Uno also expected Brookes to have a Japanese tag partner except Brookes admitted he got a Canadian wrestler instead… El Phantasmo! The match was chaotic and full of nonsense that ended up bringing in plastic boxes and firecrackers. Brookes filled up one box with the firecrackers and ELP smashed Uno through it with the CR II to win the match. Brookes then sprayed everyone with a fire extinguisher after the match.

MAO and Fuminori Abe didn’t want to blow the roof off with their match but they almost fell through it! They fought their way outside the building up to the roof where there is a glass ceiling overlooking ARENA Shimokitazawa. They carefully put each other in submission holds while avoiding taking any impactful steps onto the glass. They made their way back down to the room safe and sound but now MAO wanted to try and make Abe throw up. A Thrust Kick to the stomach made Abe gag out some fluid and go double over, allowing MAO to cradle him with an Onryo Clutch to get the win.

The two other Mystery Wrestling talents involved in the show were HADDY & Junior Benito. No matter what experiences they had in Mystery Wrestling before, they had to expect the unexpected against Antonio Honda & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi. Or in this case they had to expect the expected because when does Honda wrestle a match without ever doing a Gongitsune joke these days? Honda told his joke in English so they could understand but they still got their eyes poked after it. Things went wrong for Honda & Hiroshi when their Double Bionic Elbow spot hit each other instead of their opponents. HADDY took advantage and pulled Honda down into the Crossface to make him tap out.

Mystery Wrestling has also worked with ChocoPro in the past so it was only fitting for the BestBros to have a match on this show. Baliyan Akki & Mei Suruga had to not only fight off Dark King Ueki & Princess Ram but had to worry about the injured Munek interfering with his magic spells. And by magic spells I mean hitting Akki in the back with his crutch. Kaichow dealt with that by grabbing the magic wand off Munek to redirect one of his spells into Ueki and she then snapped the wand in half. The BestBros then pinned Ueki with the Dolphin Press which is impressive given the very tight space inside that bar.

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2026 ~HARAKO MESHI~”, 15/03/2026
Miyagi Yume Messe
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Hinata Kasai with the Scorpion Death Lock (7:48).
2. Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi defeated Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda when Dieno pinned Hirata with the Gay-do Clutch (0:09).
2a. Rematch: Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi defeated Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda when Dieno pinned Honda with the Gay-do Clutch (10:38).
3. Jun Akiyama, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida defeated Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato when Ishida pinned Masada with the Buchikamashi (10:27).
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion defeated Kazuma Sumi, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno when Sasaki submitted Sumi with the Crossface Lock (13:41).
5. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA defeated Akito & Junta Miyawaki when HARASHIMA pinned Miyawaki with the Somato (12:02).
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) when Ueno pinned KANON with a Cradle (21:31).

The show was meant to be a homecoming of sorts for MAO because he is an ambassador for Osaki City. The show was also in the same venue where MAO accidentally broke the room sprinkler with a Quebrada last year. Well, this time MAO was able to do the move without damaging anything but the spotlight was instead on Yuki Ueno and KANON for their final prelim match before “JUDGEMENT 2026” next week. There was some interference from both Strange Love Connection and The 37KAMIINA during the match. After that, KANON tried his best to avoid taking the WR but Ueno switched over to a roll up move to cradle him for the three count. Ueno can tell that KANON is incredibly strong but he told the challenger he will need to bare everything from the depths of his heart to have a chance at winning the KO-D Openweight Title.

If today repeats itself, the FANTÔMES DRAMATIC team of Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA will have a KO-D Tag Team Titles shot to look forward to in their future. However they are not taking Junta Miyawaki lightly. He almost pinned HARASHIMA with the Sunshine Clutch in today’s match but HARASHIMA kicked out just in time and was able to pin him with the Somato. When the No. 1 Contenders match happens on 22nd March, Fandora won’t just have the Sunshine Clutch to worry about but also the Aoki Clutch from Shinya Aoki too. Miyawaki described taking the Somato was like feeling the weight and power of DDT’s history in one move. He is confident though that he and Aoki will show everyone a bright future.

Once again Daisuke Sasaki has countered Kazuma Sumi’s School Boy and turned it into a victorious move, this time the Crossface Lock. He wanted to send his message loud and clear this time by bringing in a chair to attack Sumi with but this time Sumi fought him off with a Low Blow. Sumi then said even though he lost all of his warm up matches, he just needs to beat Sasaki once at Korakuen Hall next week to become the new DDT Universal Champion! Sasaki now worries that the Low Blow may have caused some long term damage. He’s supposed to be going to America soon where there are beautiful women waiting for him everywhere and suddenly his balls are gone!

paleyouth have now suffered their first setback after Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida beat them with some help from Jun Akiyama. Yoshimura was focused on fighting Daichi Sato in particular while Ishida & Akiyama paired off against Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku. The Harimao side got the victory and Akiyama advised it is up to them to give their group a boost while Kazusada Higuchi is out of action.

Makoto Oishi was tricked into sitting on the turnbuckle with the back of his costume pulled down at the end of Match #2. He stayed there until Jun Akiyama entered the ring for his match, slapped him on the rear and ordered him to get out.

7. Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Suzume Vs Yuki Arai, Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).

In just a few days time Tokyo Joshi Pro will be heading over to Texas and when they return, “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” will be just around the corner. So today was the last TJPW show in Japan before they go back to Sumo Hall on 29th March. The main event had a mixture of wrestlers from Ryogoku’s biggest matches in action. Yuki Arai teamed up with the ToJo Tokusatsu Club and was encouraged to form the base of their Megazord (to predictable results). Ober Eats and Suzume wanted to keep themselves sharp for their upcoming titles matches as well. But the final three minutes of the match belonged to Arai facing off against Miu Watanabe. The two fought to a stalemate with Watanabe powering out of the Scorpion Death Lock to give Arai a Giant Swing and Arai using her last gasp of strength to throw Watanabe down with the Full Nelson Buster. Both women were laid out after that exchange and the bell rang for the 20 minute time limit reaching its end. The two still wanted to continue wrestling each other after the match and had to be pulled apart by their teams.

After the match Watanabe told Arai she never thought they would become friends who could push each other to this level and become rivals. She wants them to have the best match TJPW can have on 29th March. Arai said she’s been watching Watanabe and her love for pro wrestling ever since Arai debuted five years ago. She’s happy to be called a rival but she thinks she can still do more. Arai is now determined to push herself forward even further so she won’t lose to Watanabe.

Arisu Endo is getting annoyed that all the talk about her match at Sumo Hall is about Miyu Yamashita being in the ring with Sareee & Takumi Iroha. It’s bothering her how she is being left out of the conversation. It motivated her to pick up the win for her team today and to do that again against Spark Rush. Yamashita thinks Endo is in good condition for the match and it is destiny for it to happen this way. She doesn’t think this matchup will ever happen again so she wants to enjoy it with all of her heart and soul. She also wants to win too which will make her and Endo enjoy it even more.

Today is Kaya Toribami’s last match under her current gimmick. The next time we will see her in the ring she will become Sakura Hattori. She said backstage after her match that in the five years of her career she has looked up to strong seniors and been supported by excellent juniors. Thanks to them all she was able to understand her own capabilities. She also got to wrestle her last match in this gimmick against HIMAWARI, the first junior she had a singles match with. She praised her too for also growing stronger and giving it her all today.

Pom Harajuku wanted to help out Mizuki for her preparations to fight Andreza Giant Panda at Sumo Hall. So Harajuku wrestled their match today dressed in an oversized panda costume. The inflated costume protected Harajuku from Mizuki’s strikes but it was also big enough to negatively effect Harajuku’s fast movements. Mizuki continued the running joke of her stealing Harajuku’s shoe and she tried to fit it onto her handle to make a replacement Pico Pico Hammer. But the moment she tried to swing it, the shoe flew off the handle into the audience. Mizuki then found the zip at the back of the costume and pulled it open, eventually forcing Harajuku to take it off completely. Mizuki grabbed the costume, hit her opponent in the face with it, stole her shoe again and pinned her with the Cutie Special.

After the match an unusual person appeared carrying the head of Mizuki’s Pico Pico Hammer. It was Mr. USA from New Nemuro Pro Wrestling, the home promotion of Andreza Giant Panda. Mizuki tried to get the hammer off him but he fought her off and took the rest of the hammer’s remains from her. He told Mizuki she now has no chance of beating Andreza without the hammer and left her in the ring where she had a small a hissyfit over her stuff getting stolen. However she said backstage she was able to beat “Pom-chan Panda” today so she will manage to find a way to beat Andreza at Sumo Hall.

Everyone in the 4 Way Match felt something was missing and it wasn’t until afterward that they noticed none of them had the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title around. Mahiro Kiryu asked who currently has the belt and someone in the crowd answered Hisaya Imabayashi. Then Rika Tatsumi told her that she saw him working at the merchandise booth earlier. Chika Nanase went over to find him and bring him to the ring to explain himself. He was wearing a tracksuit jacket but Raku pulled it open to reveal he was wearing the Iron Man Title belt beneath it! Kiryu asked him to give it back but he refused because he is meant to defend it at the DDT 29th Anniversary show on 22nd March. If he were to lose it before then it would cause a lot of trouble. Kiryu then ordered everyone to attack him but in the chaos, everyone ended up stomping on Kiryu instead while Imabayashi escaped out of harm’s way. He declared he will defend the belt in DDT and will then stand in the ring at Sumo Hall as a champion for an all out war between DDT and TJPW! The reason for this is because TJPW pays him a full wage whenever he works here while DDT only gives him a fixed monthly salary no matter how much work he does for them. Backstage Tatsumi said she will make Kiryu go and get the title back before Sumo Hall. Mifu Ashida cheered for Kiryu to do her best.

Something that Kira Summer had wanted for a long time was a singles match with Hyper Misao because she has a lot of respect for her. So much so that she was prepared for Misao’s tricks, like putting on goggles to protect her eyes from the Hero Spray. She was able to pull Summer’s goggles off and spray her in the eyes anyway. Misao used a Camel Clutch version of the Chickenwing Face Lock to win the match.

The new championship belts for the Princess Of Princess Title, the International Princess Title and the Princess Tag Team Titles were put on display at the show.

*Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi fail in V3. paleyouth become the 60th KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!

The new generation is on a roll, paleyouth have already become champions and they’ve done it at Kaisei Takechi’s expense! Takechi & The 37KAMIINA almost wiped out the challengers completely with a triple Topé Con Hilo. They then targeted Takeshi Masada by having Takechi & To-y Double Choke Slam him followed by Yuki Ueno landing the Frog Splash. However Yuya Koroku went ahead and took out Ueno & To-y, then Daichi Sato helped Masada bring down Takechi. Masada then got to beat Takechi for the first time by giving him the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles!

After the match, Masada praised Takechi for growing so much and said whenever they fight each other they click so well. When the former champions made their exit, paleyouth quickly found out who their first challengers were going to be. Harimao walked out and Naomi Yoshimura said he, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida wanted a title shot. Masada called Harimao a perfect match for paleyouth and he accepts the challenge for 22nd March at DDT’s 28th Anniversary show. Backstage Masada was happy with the recent turn of events. paleyouth was only made official a few days ago and they already won a championship and he got to avenge his previous losses to Takechi too. Meanwhile Takechi said he was frustrated over losing a second match in a row and he actually feels a little insulted by Masada’s praise for him. Ueno reminded him of his goal to wrestle in King Of DDT and also at Sumo Hall later this year. He is sure Takechi will get there.

Any hopes that Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine had of CyberAgent exploiting their likenesses for trading cards and gacha games have gone out the window after the pair failed to win the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Instead it is Strange Love Connection that are currently in the better position to become the faces of DDT. KANON in particular got the brunt of the lewd attacks from the followers yet he figured out how to turn the tide against them. He pulled down his own costume to fight in his underwear and resist Dieno’s Raw Danshoku Claw before taking him down with the Lariat for the victory. KANON told everyone afterwards he has exposed everything about himself and has nothing left to show because he wants to become the new icon of DDT. Today he has beaten two DDT icons so now he must beat the biggest icon Ueno to become the new KO-D Openweight Champion!

The return of the Yamada Suisan pro wrestlers sets up DDT’s annual sponsored matches with the seafood company for this year. Shishamo Power & Unagi Mask teamed up with Gota Ihashi to win their match then had an announcement to make afterward. Ihashi works for the Tsukiji branch of Yamada Suisan and he met a woman there who wants to become a pro wrestler. A masked woman named Unagi Mask Woman entered the ring and did the splits to pose for everyone. However her big moment was interrupted by Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda attacking Ihashi until Super Unagi Mask came to the rescue. Honda challanged the seafood wrestlers to a match and told them that Aja Kong will be teaming with FANTÔMES DRAMATIC! The president of Yamada Suisan then had a shocking confession to make. The three masked wrestlers are all siblings who were seperated at birth! The “Unagi Brothers” must now join forces to face Kong & FANTÔMES DRAMATIC on 19th April. Ihashi complained about being left out so he was offered a chance to team with Shishamo Power on the same show.

After spending such a long time away from DDT, the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title has come back home. At least for now. Antonio Honda caused a scene after the Tokyo Joshi Pro dark match by attacking everyone with Gongitsune and winning the belt off of Rika Tatsumi. Then later in the show Honda was told by Hisaya Imabayashi that he will face YOH on 15th April. Honda said he will look forward to defending the Iron Man Title against him but then he was suddenly blindsided by Imabayashi! The GM knocked out Honda with the title and pinned him to become the champion, explaining afterward that he cannot risk losing a DDT championship to a New Japan wrestler. Imabayashi was then approached by Akito at the end of the show because a special match was being booked for 22nd March. Imabayashi must defend the title in a 1 Vs 6 Handicap Match and one of his opponents will be Minoru Suzuki! Imabayashi complained especially since Akito was making decisions involving the DDT GM without being a GM himself. Akito told him that company directors are above company general managers. Sanshiro Takagi then tried to ambush Imabayashi to win the title but Akito broke the pin and allowed Imabayashi to escape with the belt.

The Iron Man Title changes today created a bit of a problem for the upcoming schedule. The belt is meant to be on the line in a Battle Royal at TJPW’s Sumo Hall show at the end of the month. It turns out that is still going to happen, which means if Imabayashi somehow survives the DDT Anniversary show still as champion he will then get to defend the belt at Sumo Hall on a TJPW show! When Imabayashi learned about that scenario being possible, he became motivated to hold onto the title as best as he can until 29th March.

A No. 1 Contenders match for the KO-D Tag Titles was later announced for 22nd March. Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA will face Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki. The winners will face MAO & KANON for the tag titles on 5th April.

A new championship has been created exclusively for a series of sponsored shows DDT will run in conjunction with the Matsui Outlet Park later this year. The first MOP Tag Team Champions will be crowned on 28th March. After that there are two other DDT x MOP shows scheduled for April where presumably a title defence or two can take place there.

6. The 1st UNIVERSE CUP – Round 1: Hayabusa defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Firebird Splash (14:06).

The first round of the inaugural UNIVERSE CUP took place, pitting eight wrestlers from eight different promotions against each other. The common ground linking almost all of the promotions together is that they are a part of the Wrestle Universe streaming service. Add in the randomness of Monday Magic and the result is a bunch of unexpected surprises in store both in and out of the tournament.

Hayabusa from ZERO1 defeated Yumehito Imanari from Ganbare☆Pro in the main event. Imanari was crushed over the loss because he was originally part of Wrestle Universe from the very beginning when it was called DDT Universe. Hayabusa will meet Naomichi Marufuji from NOAH in the semi-final. Marufuji had to deal with Kuroshio TOKYO Japan’s antics today. Even thought Kuroshio lost, he doesn’t want to go away. The Up Town wrestler asked Marufuji backstage if he can come over to NOAH? Marufuji simply told him no.

The Great Sasuke and Isami Kodaka went wild for their 1st Round match. The Michinoku Pro legend gave Kodaka a Piledriver onto the entrance ramp and also slammed him onto a pile of chairs at ringside. Kodaka almost got him back with a Brainbuster but Sasuke pinned the BASARA wrestler with La Magistral Cradle for the victory. Kodaka hopes he can come back to Monday Magic and maybe get some NOAH bookings too. Sanshiro Takagi had an adventure of his own when he had to fight not just one mummy, but two! While he fought The Great Mummy in the ring, NOSAWA Rongai brought down a second Great Mummy to add some confusion to the mix. Luckily for Takagi, Mecha Mummy showed up to help him and Takagi went on to win the match for DDT. NOSAWA swears he will get revenge on Takagi by sending his mummy wrestlers over to invade Super Japan!

There’s been one CyberFight promotion that has stayed away from Monday Magic but that’s all going to change next month. Tokyo Joshi Pro will finally have some involvement in the show, although it is going to be for a match they are putting together by themselves. There will also be a small Royal Rumble style match for the joshi wrestlers so maybe TJPW will start to mix in with the rest of the scene after all.

6. Special Single Match: KANON defeated To-y with the GURU-GURU Driver (15:49).

There were Chops and Slaps a-flying between KANON and To-y in the main event. To-y went high risk too with a dive over the corner of the ring onto KANON outside. KANON used Lariats to turn the tables on his opponent and soon won the match using the GURU-GURU Driver. With To-y now beaten, KANON then called out Yuki Ueno to get into the ring. Ueno told him he’s strong but the KO-D Openweight Title needs to be carried by someone who can lead DDT towards everyone’s dreams. KANON admitted he isn’t strong mentally but he will win the KO-D Title and prove his worth as a wrestler. He then told the Osaka fans he is about to take on the biggest challenge of his life and when he returns here he will be standing on top of the DDT mountain!

The Toyonaka Tag of Sanshiro Takagi & Rukiya were victorious in their match today. Rukiya is so proud of where he comes from that he declared he will become the next tourism ambassador of Toyonaka City! Takagi wants to be part of it too and share the roll with him because there has never been a tag team that became tourism ambassadors before. Takagi later claimed that he has already contacted city officials to put the plan into motion.

When the Handicap Match ended too quickly, everyone agreed to restart it. This time the match used elimination rules that included knocking your opponents out of the ring to eliminate them.
