BOYZ “BOYZ BE AMBITIOUS! 2021”, 04/04/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall 2nd Floor
100 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Oishi & Okatani Produce Match “Okaya. Produce.”: Yuki Ueno & Kazuki Hirata defeated Makoto Oishi & Hideki Okatani when Hirata pinned Okatani with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (9:35).
2. Unprecedented Confrontation: Keisuke Ishii Vs MAO ended in a Double Countout (12:24).
3. Jun Masaoka Appeal For Entering Damne!? Assessment Match: Tetsuya Endo & Soma Takao defeated Chris Brookes & Jun Masaoka when Endo pinned Masaoka with the Shooting Star Press (16:53).
4. BOYZ Annual DDT x Ganpro Exchange Match: Akito defeated Shota with a Gannosuke Clutch Cutback (15:38).
5. BOYZ Army Vs YaroZ Army Full Scale Special 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Shunma Katsumata & Toui Kojima defeated Antonio Honda, Yuki Iino & Keigo Nakamura when HARASHIMA pinned Nakamura with the Somato (16:29).

Today in Itabashi Green Hall there were two competing shows taking place at the same time. In the regular room on the 2nd Floor where the pro wrestling shows are held was the BOYZ show for women. The 1st Floor was the location of the YaroZ show for men. There would be invasions from both sides on both shows taking place throughout the day.

The main event of the BOYZ show was a 6-Man Tag between the two brands. The YaroZ team were confused from seeing only women in the audience when they entered the room. Yuki Iino tried to impress the audience with the Haka but got no response. Keigo Nakamura wrestled in a blonde wig that fell off when he did a Moonsault. Antonio Honda summoned his team to form a centaur but the attack fell apart when they crashed into the corner. Shunma Katsumata wiped out Honda & Iino with a dive to the outside, Toui Kojima planted Nakamura with the Full Nelson Buster and HARASHIMA hit the Somato to give the home team the victory.

The match between Akito and Shota was a clean and even wrestling match most of the way. They got tangled up in a Figure 4 Leg Lock that rolled its way out of the ring. Neither man wanted to break the hold but did so before they could get counted out. Shota sneakily grabbed a metal fitting from under the ring and hid it in Akito’s boot during a submission attempt. Daisuke Kiso later found the fitting in Akito’s boot and the distraction allowed Shota to take over with a Cradle nearfall. Shota then faked a leg injury to put Akito in position for the Gannosuke Clutch. Akito still countered the move into his own cradle to get the three count. The two shook hands after the match to show there were no hard feelings over what happened.

If Jun Masaoka genuinely wanted to join DAMNATION then he apparently failed the audition. Tetsuya Endo & Soma Takao wouldn’t shake his hand before the match. Masaoka seems to make a good team with Chris Brookes anyway so maybe it’s not all that bad.

The BOYZ show crossed over into the YaroZ show during the Keisuke Ishii Vs MAO match. While they were fighting back and forth, the action took them up to the entrance and to the backstage area. Suddenly the Danshoku Dieno Vs Yukio Naya match from the YaroZ show made its way into the BOYZ show and those two fought their way into the ring. Ishii and MAO returned and the two matches got mixed up with each other until they both broke off out of the ring again. The end result was both matches ending in a double countout.

Kazuki Hirata wanted to give everyone a flashy start to the show and complained about Hideki Okatani being too plain. Makoto Oishi agreed and encouraged Okatani to do cooler moves before he would allow him to tag out. Okatani tried to do a Tornado DDT with a lot of appealing to the fans but Yuki Ueno threw him off easily. He then tried to do the High Fly Flow to Hirata but missed. Hirata easily pinned him afterwards.

Yusuke Okada was caught trying to sneak into the show during the opening introductions. He was dragged over to the YaroZ show. Toru Owashi was also there holding the KING OF BOYZ WRESTLING trophy he won at the last show. He was chased off by Yukio Sakaguchi and other YaroZ all wearing fundoshi.

Akito apologised to the audience after the show for the constant interruptions. He thinks sometimes it is okay for BOYZ and YaroZ to work together and he hopes the two sides can get along to do a single show together someday. It probably won’t be the next show though.

DDT “CHRIS BROOKES PRODUCE SHOW 3 – DANGER AND PLEASURE TOUR ’96” Results

April 4, 2021

DDT “CHRIS BROOKES PRODUCE SHOW 3 – DANGER & PLEASURE TOUR ’96”, 04/04/2021
Saitama Wrestle Butokan
0 Fans

1. DDT Extreme Title – No DQ Falls Count Anywhere Match: Chris Brookes (c) defeated Mecha Mummy with a Jackknife Pin in the children’s pool (12:14).
*V1 for Chris Brookes.
2. MEN’S Teioh, Hagane Shinno & Makoto Oishi defeated Yuki Ueno, MAO & Keigo Nakamura when Teioh pinned Nakamura after the Triple Ecstasy (13:21).
3. HARASHIMA defeated Baliyan Akki with the Somato (16:08).

The third DDT show produced in the English language for international viewers begun with the DDT Extreme Title match. The champion Chris Brookes was accompanied by Masahiro Takanashi while the challenger Mecha Mummy had a professor wearing an eyepatch by his side to overlook its performance. Brookes had the gameplan figured out. He just needed to splash water onto Mummy to make it short circuit. However Mummy was waterproofed with a face shield and wasn’t in danger. Brookes then tried using a water gun but Mummy quickly grabbed it off him and destroyed it. The Mecha Fist and Jet Scrambler were used by both wrestlers as the fight broke out around ringside. Brookes was in serious trouble when Mummy stabbed him with the Mecha Drill. Takanashi came to the rescue by pouring a can of beer over Mummy to make it short circuit. Brookes then knocked Mummy into a nearby pool with the Rocket Punch and pinned it with a Jackknife for his first successful title defence.

Mecha Mummy recovered after the match and assaulted Brookes. Suddenly a rival from Mummy’s past appeared from the stage. It was Mokujin Ken! After a staredown with much visible shaking, Mummy and Ken started fighting each other. Everyone tried to pull them apart but the broadcast got cut off.

For one night only the MEN’S Club was revived and given a chance to show the young generation what they are still made of. MEN’S Teioh wrestled throughout with a smile on his face, getting Hagane Shinno & Makoto Oishi to join in for group poses. When their opponents took control Yuki Ueno & MAO did their own poses to get one back on them. MEN’S Club had the last laugh in the end. Teioh gave Keigo Nakamura the Miracle Ecstasy but the pin was broken up. So the MEN’S Club all got together to give Nakamura the Triple Ecstasy for the finish, pose included.

Baliyan Akki was given the main event spotlight again after his impressive performance against Konosuke Takeshita back in February. This time he was pitted against HARASHIMA. They got tangled up together with dual Ankle Holds and the stalemate was broken up when Akki hit a Topé Con Hilo to the outside. HARASHIMA tried using his strikes to fight back but was almost beaten with the Firebird Splash. HARASHIMA used his knees to block the Namaste Press but Akki was able to catch the Somato for a submission attempt. HARASHIMA reach the ropes and won a strike exchange, finishing Akki off with a Super Kick, the Reverse Frankensteiner and then the Somato for the victory.

Brookes and Mr. HAKU held an English roundtable with Akki, MAO and Ueno after the show. Brookes said whenever he books shows, he does not want to be the main character. He prefers to put the spotlight on other wrestlers. He doesn’t know what is going to happen at the next show between Mecha Mummy and Mokujin Ken. He is at least relieved that Ken came to the rescue, otherwise the next show would have become a Mecha Mummy produce with everyone turned into mecha wrestlers. For the MEN’S Club match Brookes said he has always been a fan of the unit after watching loads of Big Japan shows. He watched one of their matches with MAO recently and learned that MAO is also a fan. MAO was happy to do the match because his style is the 2000s Jr. Heavyweight wrestling that came from the likes of Michinoku Pro and Toryumon. Ueno then had to be part of the match because he is MAO’s stablemate. Nakamura was the third wrestler added because the original choice had a scheduling conflict. For the main event Brookes wanted to see Akki in a different environment. Drew Parker came up with the idea to do Akki Vs HARASHIMA. Akki promised to get beers for Parker the next time he sees him as long as Parker doesn’t show up bloody.

4. Eruption Vs DAMNATION!: Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Soma Takao & Mad Paulie by TKO when Sakaguchi choked out Paulie with the Sleeper Hold (6:51).
5. Uchibo, Sotobo, Dai Boso! Chiba Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Yuji Hino defeated HARASHIMA, Chris Brookes & Yuki Iino when Hino pinned Iino with the Best German Suplex In The World (21:13).
6. Junretsu Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi defeated Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata when Oishi submitted Katsumata with the Fujiyama Knee Lock (15:41).

Before the main event began, Shunma Katsumata reminded everyone that Konosuke Takeshita has taken the month off to evolve. Katsumata said he wants to evolve too and will do so in the sauna while he waits for Takeshita’s return. Jun Akiyama put up a bet where if his team won then Katsumata would have to invite him to a sauna. If The 37KAMIINA won then Makoto Oishi would agree to let Katsumata hold his baby daughter. Yusuke Okada was in Junretsu’s corner for the match and encouraged Akiyama to hurt Katsumata. He explained it’s because he is supposed to hate BOYZ wrestlers after he was labelled a YaroZ wrestler. Junretsu ended up winning with Oishi tapping out Katsumata while Akiyama blocked off Yuki Ueno.

After the match Akiyama told Katsumata to prepare five sauna invites because Akiyama wants to bring his family with him. Their victory speech was interrupted by Danshoku Dieno. He walked out carrying the defeated body of Hideki Okatani who he beat earlier in the show. Dieno warned that on 11th April, Akiyama will end up like this because the impossible can happen in DDT! Dieno stuck his middle finger up Okatani’s butt and then flipped off Akiyama with it.

Tetsuya Endo wanted to pay tribute to Ryuichi Sekine by doing the Let’s Combine in his match. However his opponents kept cutting him off. Meanwhile Yuji Hino and Yuki Iino continued their feud by fighting and chopping each other around ringside. Endo finally locked in the Let’s Combine on HARASHIMA thanks to Daisuke Sasaki using the Crossface Lock on Iino and Hino grabbing Chris Brookes to cut them all off. Hino countered Iino’s Spear with a Lariat but couldn’t get the pin. DAMNATION eliminated the loose ends so Hino could do the Fucking BOMB. He then pinned Iino with what he calls the Best German Suplex In The World. Hino promoted a show he is doing on 23rd May in Chiba 2AW Square after the match.

The return of springtime means Mad Paulie is in heat again, red face and all. Eruption had to apply the Sleeper Hold from Yukio Sakaguchi and the Brain Claw from Kazusada Higuchi at the same time to stop his rampage.

Dieno purposely did Danshoku versions of Akiyama’s moveset against Okatani. He then abducted Okatani after beating him, setting up the end of show angle already mentioned above.

Several Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title changes took place during Match #2 while the belt holder was not a legal participant. Kazuki Hirata pinned his own tag partner Saki Akai then ran off backstage with the belt. Yukinori Matsui chased after him and the fans suddenly heard a three count followed by the bell ringing. DJ Nira then walked out carrying the Iron Man Title but he explained he wasn’t the new champion. The new champion is a stuffed toy of Chiba-kun, the mascot of Chiba! Hirata ran out, attacked Chiba-kun and was easily out-wrestled by the toy. MAO grabbed the toy and gave it the Michinoku Driver II but Hirata kicked him away and stole the pin, becoming champion again. The actual match ended with Antonio Honda pinning Hirata to win the title. Akai then pinned Honda for the belt and spent the rest of the show fighting off attackers.

April 3, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SPRING TOUR ’21 ~THE BULLET~”, 03/04/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
110 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Hikari Noa defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Uranage (7:16).
2. 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita defeated Raku and Sena Shiori when Yamashita pinned Shiori with the Attitude Adjustment (5:47).
3. Maki Itoh defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Itoh Deluxe (8:22).
4. Yuki Kamifuku, Mirai Maiumi & Suzume defeated Nao Kakuta, Haruna Neko & Pom Harajuku when Kamifuku pinned Harajuku with the Famouser (10:21).
5. Rika Tatsumi defeated Arisu Endo with the Twist Of Fate (10:08).
6. Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino, Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Miu Watanabe & Marika Kobashi when Tenma pinned Kobashi with the Killswitch (13:41).

Hyper Misao said her team today have all bonded together because they are a bunch of hero otakus. Their big combination move involved Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Shoko Nakajima all lifting up Misao and charging her into their opponents like a battering ram. However their opponents kept dodging out of the way and Misao hit into the turnbuckle many times. Miu Watanabe then put Misao in a submission and her partners did their own triple team move. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Marika Kobashi all grabbed the bottom rope and leaned back from the ring apron, chanting “Do your best!” to Misao as she tried to reach over for the rope that was being pulled away from her. The Magical Sugar Rabbits prevented The Bakuretsu Sisters from doing the Bakuretsu Bulldog on Kobashi. But the match whittled down to Tenma pinned Kobashi with the Killswitch.

Nao Kakuta wanted to confront Yuki Kamifuku after their match but Kamifuku pushed her away and left.

Both Raku and Sena Shiori hid under the ring for Miyu Yamashita’s entrance so they could ambush her together. Their teamwork eventually faded away and the match became more like the 3 Way it was supposed to be. From there Yamashita was able to pick apart her opponents and win.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION” Results

April 1, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 01/04/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
142 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Mizuki defeated Miu Watanabe with the Diving Foot Stomp (14:04).
2. Rika Tatsumi defeated Raku with the Missile Hips (10:26).
3. Hardcore Match: Rina Yamashita defeated Hikari Noa with the Splash Mountain onto the Chairs (19:05).

For her first ever hardcore match, Hikari Noa looked like she was born to do it. Fighting in a Jun Kasai inspired costume, Noa got a taste of violence by facing off against Rina Yamashita. Her first weapon of choice was a box filled with CDs and glowsticks which she emptied over the ring. She also got Yamashita to crash into a board with glowsticks glued onto it in the corner. Yamashita put Noa through a table at ringside with the Fire Thunder but Noa would later smash a broken piece of the table over her opponent’s head. Noa would then mimic Kasai by doing the Pearl Harbor Splash, goggles and all for a nearfall. Yamashita took over with a well timed Lariat and pinned Noa with the Splash Mountain onto a pile of chairs to win.

Noa told Yamashita after the match that she was feeling the pain but still had fun. A little too much fun because Noa wants to do it again tomorrow! Yamashita said she is busy tomorrow but she will always agree to a rematch when Noa calls her again. She also enjoyed the match and told Noa that the worlds of Hardcore and Death Match wrestling welcomes her! Noa thought today’s match was an April Fool’s joke when she first heard about it. But her dream came through and now she wants to go one step further and do a death match. In her backstage interview, Noa said she wants to end up with a cool looking back like Jun Kasai’s. Her favorite weapon is barbed wire because it is made to hurt people. So she wants to become the Death Match Queen with barbed wire!

Raku hid underneath to commit an odd ambush on Rika Tatsumi before their match. She snuck up on Tatsumi and successfully taped a teddy bear onto Tatsumi’s backside. Tatsumi quickly hit Raku with the Hip Attack but the teddy bear cushioned the blow and made the move useless. Tatsumi was able to tear the tape off, remove the bear and wrestle the rest of the match as normal.

For a while Mizuki stopped using the Whirling Candy but she brought it back when Miu Watanabe turned out to be very difficult to beat. Watanabe kicked out of it but was pinned with the Diving Foot Stomp afterwards.

The next edition of “TJPW INSPIRATION” will be held on 1st July.

TJPW’s 1st Hardcore Match Tomorrow, Dieno’s Middle Finger To Akiyama, Takao Wants The “Weak” Champion

March 31, 2021

Everything should be fine but if the blog suddenly goes quiet for a few days in April it’s because WordPress hid the classic editor function from me again and I would rather throw my laptop out the window than learn to use whatever the hell that Block post format is.

Hikari Noa finally gets to take part in a Hardcore match, the first of its kind in TJPW. Let’s just hope Rina Yamashita doesn’t go wild with the piercing spots.

0. Under Match: Hideki Okatani Vs Toui Kojima

5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Yuji Okabayashi
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Danshoku Dieno

A press conference was held yesterday regarding the contract signings for the two title matches at the next Korakuen Hall show. Danshoku Dieno attended wearing his wrestling gear and spoke about the last time he was in a KO-D Openweight Title match. It was when he lost the title to Daisuke Sasaki at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2018”. At one point during that match Dieno fought in the ring completely naked and he remembers Jun Akiyama was one of the wrestlers outside of DDT who got angry with him at the time. Akiyama argues that EVERYONE was angry at Dieno over it. When people get angry at Dieno, he can’t help but let out his feelings and give people the middle finger if they don’t like what he’s all about. That’s why he stuck up his middle fingers to Akiyama at the end of the last Korakuen show. Akiyama understands how much DDT means to Dieno and vice versa but he will not forgive him for that behavior. He sees DDT fans on social media are cheering for Dieno to win the KO-D Title one more time, but Akiyama is going to be realistic with them. A grown man in a pink T-shirt shouldn’t be giving middle fingers to people especially for a company with a growing young roster on shows that could potentially be watched by children. He’s going to break the fingers off so Dieno can’t do that anymore.

Kazusada Higuchi is still reeling over losing to Akiyama. He doesn’t like Akiyama Vs Dieno main eventing the show over Eruption defending the KO-D Tag Team Titles against Smile Pissari. Meanwhile Yukio Sakaguchi is confused over why Eruption have been entered into the Ultimate Tag League 2021 when they are the champions. Hisaya Imabayashi explained the tournament is meant to determine the strongest tag team in DDT so it should also involve the tag champions. Sakaguchi disagrees, explaining that the strongest are already the champions and the next strongest team should come and challenge them. He also complained about having to defend the titles against someone from outside DDT. Higuchi added that HARASHIMA changes tag team partners too much. The challengers have a much more positive attitude going into the match. HARASHIMA thinks he and Yuji Okabayashi can light up the wrestling by winning the tag titles. Okabayashi wants to leave Korakuen with a smile on his face and the belts around him and HARASHIMA.

DDT “MAX BUMP 2021”, 04/05/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Soma Takao

Didn’t take long for a new challenger to make himself known. Soma Takao crashed the press conference to complain about having to wrestle Hideki Okatani at the 24th Anniversary show. He doesn’t want to fight weak guys, he wants to fight for more championships. He thinks Yuki Ueno is a weak champion who only defends the DDT UNIVERSAL Title against other weak wrestlers. Ueno has never beaten Takao with his most recent defeat to him happening at the D-Ou Grand Prix. He later accepted the challenge.

Konosuke Takeshita made a request to take April off from DDT. He isn’t sick or injured. Instead he wants to take a chance to evolve into something stronger and needs to be away for a month to do it. Sounds kind of familiar, doesn’t it? If it means what I think it means then I couldn’t be happier for the guy. Anyway he returns to DDT on 4th May.

BOYZ “BOYZ BE AMBITIOUS! 2021”, 04/04/2021

An email sent from the address new.damnation.japan.com@gmail.com was sent to the DDT office asking for an opportunity to be recruited for DAMNATION. The mystery person asked for Tetsuya Endo & Soma Takao Vs Chris Brookes & Jun Masaoka to take place on the BOYZ show. Oh, and the email is signed under Jun Masaoka’s name. The email was forwarded to BOYZ producer Akito and after some consideration he agreed to put the match together.

YAROZ “YAROZ PART 9 ~THE SAME DAY AND SAME VENUE DECISIVE BATTLE WITH THE FATEFUL BOYZ! NEVER LOSE TO THOSE WHO ARE POPULAR! RAISE UP THE YAROS! SHOW OFF A MAN’S STORY OF BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS!~”, 04/04/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall 1st Floor

DDT’s newest signing Yusuke Okada really wants to be part of the BOYZ brand. Unfortunately everyone else thinks he is more suited to YaroZ whether he likes it or not. So for the BOYZ Vs YaroZ double booking, Okada will be wrestling on the YaroZ show.

DDT “APRIL FOOL 2021”, 11/04/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Under Match: Hideki Okatani Vs Toui Kojima

5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Yuji Okabayashi
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Danshoku Dieno

There have been two wrestlers who have either stood up to Jun Akiyama or criticized his role in DDT. Akiyama just dispatched of Kazusada Higuchi so he now has to take care of Danshoku Dieno. Dieno accepted that Akiyama became part of DDT’s history when he signed a contract but the temptation of becoming KO-D Openweight Champion one more time means he cannot stay quiet anymore! If Akiyama hasn’t experienced full blown DDT before, he will now.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THAT’S J-PW”, 12/04/2021
WRESTLE UNIVERSE

Tokyo Joshi Pro is launching a new series of English shows for WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

Chris Brookes & Baliyan Akki will provide commentary and the episodes will last around 15 minutes each. Tetsuya Koda explained the name has a double meaning.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STILL INCOMPLETE”, 17/04/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. International Princess Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) Vs Nao Kakuta
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino (c) Vs Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Maki Itoh

A criticism that has been aimed towards Nao Kakuta since she started wrestling for TJPW is that she is too normal to stand out. Even her challenge to Yuki Kamifuku for the International Princess Title was considered plain or even a bit boring according to the champion. Kakuta thinks it is fine to be normal. She can be called the Normal Of Normal Princess as far as she is concerned. Her other nickname is “Rat Chaser” (she used to have a catgirl gimmick) and she found her rat in the form of Kamifuku. All she has to do now is catch her! Kakuta also said that she has no senpai or kohai figures in TJPW because she came from somewhere else so she feels comfortable enough to stretch out and use her own fighting styles that she likes.

6. “Celebrity Of Niigata” Super Sasadango Machine Local Triumphant Return!: Super Sasadango Machine, Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Mad Paulie

The spotlight shines on Super Sasadango Machine and Gorgeous Matsuno in Niigata.

Whether he wins the KO-D Tag Team Titles or not, Yuji Okabayashi will at least be around for another DDT show in April. In a match against Akiyama too.

Match #2. That is all.

GANBARE☆PRO “GANBARE☆JOSHI PRO WRESTLING ~BUTTERFLY DANCE 2021~”, 24/04/2021

1. Ganjo Vs Gake no Fuchi Joshi Full Scale Battle: Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Chris Brookes, Drew Parker & Miyako Matsumoto
2. Ganjo Jacket Match: Cherry Vs Shuichiro Katsumura

The defence squad has been put together for the Gake no Fuchi Joshi invasion. If Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga still have the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles then it would make for an exciting title defence too.
