-. Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi (2)
-. HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura (2)
5. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul (0)

The former KO-D Tag Team Champions get their first win of the Ultimate Tag League. It became a dangerous match for HARASHIMA when Daisuke Sasaki began targeting his leg including some chair strikes to it outside the ring. Naomi Yoshimura tried to carry the match by himself but had to rely on double team moves with a less than 100% HARASHIMA. They were able to isolate MJ Paul and wear him down with big moves until HARASHIMA pinned him with the Somato. HARASHIMA told his tag partner there are more challenging teams to fight against in their group but they can beat them all, reach the final and reclaim the KO-D Tag Titles. Sasaki complained about the result backstage and threatened to boycott the rest of the tournament. He also won’t accept MAO’s challenge for the DDT Universal Title.

Tetsuya Endo’s big entrance performed live by Osamu Suzuki ended up spoiled when BURNING lost to The 37KAMIINA. Endo was disappointed he couldn’t win and get another live performance of his theme song. Jun Akiyama told him the tension between the two units is rising but when the Ultimate Tag League reaches the finish, all teams will be in the same condition. Endo said Konosuke Takeshita has a lot of crazy moves that are difficult to counter. One of them was even inherited from Akiyama! There is still a month to go until the KO-D Openweight Title match so Endo has time to come up with a plan.

The other Tag League match that went ahead was Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya beating Shuji Kondo & Kazuki Hirata in the A Block. Hirata had the impossible task of trying to hurt Hino. It was up to Kondo to take the big man out, leaving Hirata to deal with Naya. Hirata almost got the win out of nowhere by countering the Choke Slam into a Small Package but Naya kicked out. Naya then hit a Running Knee Strike and pinned Hirata with the Back Drop. Hino is pleased with Naya’s growth and wants the two of them to win their remaining matches. Kondo tried to keep Hirata’s spirits up by telling him he is getting stronger day by day. Hirata isn’t sure if he should believe him, especially since he will have to fight Jun Akiyama next.

The Tag League match between Pheromones and CDK was cancelled because Masahiro Takanashi tested positive for covid last week. CDK forfeits the match, giving Pheromones an extra two points. A non-tournament replacement match took place instead with Chris Brookes teaming with Antonio Honda. A duel between Honda and Yuki Iino left Honda physically unable to continue fighting so he was put on a stretcher. However, Iino intercepted the stretcher and held it up so Yumehito Imanari could tape Honda to it! Honda was in a helpless state and verbally gave up when Iino was about to hit him with the Badonkadonk. Brookes swore revenge on Pheromones once Takanashi is cleared to return.

Today’s show was streamed live on Youtube to celebrate the DDT channel reaching 100,000 subscribers. At the end of the show MAO made his way over to the tripod to thanks all of the viewers. He got too excited though and the tripod ended up toppling over and falling on top of him. Yukinori Matsui saw the iPad resting on MAO’s chest and counted to three. After some deliberation, Matsui declared that all 100,000 Youtube subscribers had just won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title! After that Toru Owashi then laid the iPad onto the ground, took off his shirt and laid on top of it. That prompted Matsui to do another three count and declare Owashi the new champion. Owashi waved goodbye to all of the viewers as the stream ended.

Both Shuichiro Katsumura and HARUKAZE were celebrating their homecoming matches today and both came out of the show with victories. In the main event, Katsumura gathered together wrestlers representing his Team Reversal Gym Yokohama Grand Slam. After winning the match, Katsumura told everyone this is Ganbare☆Pro’s first show in Yokohama. For many fans here it is their first time seeing Ganpro and maybe even pro wrestling. He doesn’t know what will happen next with Ganpro but he hopes they will come back to his hometown.

A public contract signing for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title match on 27th February took place before today’s show. Kouki Iwasaki said he is physically and mentally ready to crush Tatsuhito Takaiwa’s chest in with his kicks. His goal is to win the title in the main event of Korakuen Hall and defend it at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022” in June. Otherwise there is no future in Ganpro if Takaiwa remains the champion until that show. Takaiwa said at 50 years old he is celebrating 30 years in pro wrestling this year. He believes Iwasaki will be the champion some day and it is up to himself as the first champion to show him what it is like. Later in the show Takaiwa & 5th Black Tiger beat Iwasaki & Mizuki Watase in a tag match. Takaiwa feels reinvigorated wrestling these matches and is making the most of them.

HARUKAZE’s homecoming was twice as special because today is also her birthday! It is such a special occasion that her mother came to see her wrestle. Her team originally won their match in 5 seconds when Shota immediately pinned Shinichiro Tominaga. Both sides agreed to an immediate rematch where HARUKAZE got to properly earn the victory by pinning YuuRI. After the match Ken Ohka and Shinjiro Otani brought out a birthday cake for her and everyone celebrated. HARUKAZE told everyone when she started wrestling her mother would tell her to stop everyday. Today she got to see her daughter be a winner, which made HARUKAZE very happy.

2. 3 Way Match: Yuki “Sexy” Iino defeated Chris Brookes and Antonio Honda when Iino pinned Honda with the Sexy Elbow (11:43).

A Block

1. Tetsuya Endo & Jun Akiyama (4)
2. Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno (2)
3. Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani (0)
-. Shuji Kondo & Kazuki Hirata (0)

-. Shunma Katsumata & MAO (2)
-. Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi (2)
4. HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura (0)
-. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul (0)

BURNING takes the early lead in the Ultimate Tag League with two wins out of two in the A Block. Eruption and Hideki Okatani in particular badly wanted to beat them today. They even came close when Kazusada Higuchi used the Doctor Bomb on Tetsuya Endo to set up Okatani’s Diving Knee Drop. But Jun Akiyama was there to break up the pin. Endo recovered, got a neafall with Tetsuya In The Sky and then won with the Shooting Star Press. Afterwards Akiyama had a question he just had to ask Endo. When did he become a burning star all of a sudden? Because from today onwards Endo is the “Burning Star” and his finisher should now be called the Burning Star Press!

There was a clash of champions in the B Block match. Daisuke Sasaki is the reigning DDT Universal Champion while MAO currently holds the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Things were looking grim for The 37KAMIINA when MJ Paul got rid of Shunma Katsumata with the Death Valley Bomb and DAMNATION T.A focused their double teaming on MAO. But Sasaki’s Crossface Lock was suddenly rolled over and countered into a Crucifix Pin, giving MAO the win out of nowhere. MAO then challenged Sasaki for a Double Title match with both the Universal and Iron Man Titles on the line!

150 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

2. Shoko Nakajima & Haruna Neko defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Nakajima pinned Endo with the Northern Lights Suplex (12:27).

5. Miyu Yamashita defeated Marika Kobashi with the Attitude Adjustment (10:09).

The homecoming show was important for Marika Kobashi. Today is the last time she wrestled in Yokohama before her graduation from Tokyo Joshi Pro this April. There were several times in Kobashi’s career when she was given a big match against Miyu Yamashita before she took an absence from pro wrestling. It happened in 2016 when she was ready to enter high school and 2019 when she was ready to enter university. So there was no other choice for her opponent today.

In the match itself Kobashi tried using the Run-Up Bulldog Headlock, the Front Neck Lock and also the Diving Chop inspired by one of her namesake’s Abdullah Kobayashi. But Yamashita ended up winning once she hit the Skull Kick and followed up with the Attitude Adjustment. She praised Kobashi for growing up and said it inspired herself to do her best today too. Kobashi said she loves TJPW but it breaks her heart that she was never good enough to beat Yamashita. However today has lit a fire beneath her and she will spend her last two months in wrestling stirring up TJPW. She ended the show by shouting “I love you! Gyau!”

A bunch of covid positives is throwing this weekend’s lineups out of whack. Tokyo Joshi Pro is missing Yuki Kamifuku, Hikari Noa, Moka Miyamoto and Maki Itoh. Kamifuku, Noa and Miyamoto all tested positive while Itoh was identified as a close contact. This prompted the rest of the roster to take fresh PCR tests and they have since all come back negative.

Masahiro Takanashi tested positive after showing symptoms of a fever during the week. CDK’s match against Pheromones in the Ultimate Tag League has been forfeited. Instead Chris Brookes will team with Antonio Honda to take on Yuki Iino & Yumehito Imanari in a non-tournament match. CDK’s next league match is scheduled for 14th February so Takanashi could be cleared in time for that.

7. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe Vs Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino

Itoh will be able to return at the 11th February Korakuen Hall show and Kamifuku is aiming to be cleared in time to be on the show too. So for the moment their International Princess Title match is still on the schedule. However the match will get called off if Kamifuku’s condition does not improve by then. The timing of Noa and Miyamoto getting their positive results back might prevent them from being on the show depending on when they started their isolation periods. The easy solution if they can’t show up is to replace Noa with Miyamoto’s opponent Arisu Endo and just do six matches instead of seven.

They are also allowed to have one ringside attendant each to apply more oil to them whenever they ask for it. Danshoku Dieno believes Aoki came up with the stipulation because a greased up body is difficult to grab. In reality, Aoki picked the match because he wants Yumiko Hotta to be his attendant and rub his body down.

The main event is now sponsored by Maikon no Kohara, an Osaka grocery company that specializes in kelp related products. The store has the naming rights for the venue, which is why it’s called Suminoe Maikon Hall. The winners of the main event will receive an award from the sponsors.

At the last show Minoru Fujita surprised everyone by willingly joining DAMNATION T.A after he lost to Daisuke Sasaki. He betrayed his friends from ChocoPro in the process, apparently teaching them a lesson about how kindness holds them back when it matters. Chris Brookes gets the first shot at revenge but he has to team with Akito & Toui Kojima instead of Masahiro Takanashi & Baaliyan Akki.

Match #2 is now a 3 Way because of Danshoku Dieno’s absence with Covid.
