BASARA “BASARA 150 ~KINKON ICHIBAN~”, 25/02/2021
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Akiyori Takizawa defeated Takato Nakano with the Sleng Teng (8:09).
2. Daichi Kazato & Gouma defeated Fuminori Abe & Masato Kamino when Kazato pinned Kamino with the Opa (8:21).
3. Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT defeated Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga when SAGAT pinned Senga after the Triple Body Press (12:48).
4. FUMA, Yusuke Kubo & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated Isami Kodaka, Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita when Kubo submitted Kodaka with a Crossface Lock (12:02).
5. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Yasu Urano with the Zudon (18:56).
*V3 for Takumi Tsukamoto.

Yasu Urano said he will take a short break away from BASARA after he failed to win the Union MAX Title from Takumi Tsukamoto. He can’t win the belt while Tsukamoto has it so when he does come back he will instead chase after the IRON FIST TAG Titles. When Urano left, Daichi Kazato entered the ring, bounced from the ropes a bit and left without saying anything. It was only after the show when he explained that was his way of asking for a title shot.

Yusuke Kubo made Isami Kodaka tap out in the 6-Man Tag match. He told Kodaka that he shouldn’t feel but think instead. And this result should give him plenty to think about when Kubo & FUMA challenges Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura for the IRON FIST TAG Titles on 23rd March.

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA 2021”, 23/02/2021
Nagoya Congress Center Event Hall
479 Fans

1. Hiroshi Yamato & Nobuhiro Shimatani defeated Keigo Nakamura & Toui Kojima when Yamato pinned Kojima with the Fisherman Suplex (5:14).
2. Chris Brookes & Maki Itoh defeated Antonio Honda & Saki Akai when Brookes submitted Honda with the Octopus Stretch (11:01).

4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Akito, Kazuki Hirata & Shota (c) defeated Sanshiro Takagi, HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno when Akito submitted Dieno with the Anaconda Vice That Breaks The Rules (13:28).

5. Toru Owashi & Yukio Naya defeated Soma Takao & Mad Paulie when Naya pinned Paulie with the Back Drop (8:29).
6. DAMNATION Vs DDT Sauna Club!: Tetsuya Endo & Daisuke Sasaki defeated Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata when Endo submitted Katsumata with the Modified Yurikamome (12:39).
7. Special 8-Man Tag Match: CIMA, T-Hawk, El Lindaman & Shigehiro Irie defeated Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi, Hideki Okatani & Yusuke Okada when T-Hawk pinned Okatani after the AKACHOCHIN (15:49).
8. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi (c) defeated Konosuke Takeshita & MAO when Higuchi pinned Takeshita with the Brain Claw Slam (22:12).
*V2 for Eruption.

The DDT Sauna Club’s momentum has been cooled down like a cold shower after today’s show. Eruption threw their best shot at Konosuke Takeshita & MAO after a frustrating trend of bad results against them and this time stood victorious. The KO-D Tag Team Champions almost blew it when Kazusada Higuchi accidentally hit Yukio Sakaguchi with a Lariat. But they recovered when Higuchi caught MAO from a Moonsault and threw him into the God’s Right Knee from Sakaguchi. Takeshita tried to fight off Higuchi until he too got hit with the God’s Right Knee. Higuchi then went for his big moves until he got the three count with the Brain Claw Slam.

Eruption celebrated their title defence and encouraged Higuchi for his KO-D Openweight Title shot next month. Sakaguchi then called out for their next challengers to appear. HARASHIMA entered the ring and told Eruption that he and Yuji Okabayashi were always meant to be next in line for a title shot. Are Eruption ready for Smile Pissari? Sakaguchi called it an interesting match and Higuchi said he will do it anytime. Hisaya Imabayashi assured both teams the match will happen but he needs to talk with Big Japan first to decide when Okabayashi can come back to DDT. After he left, Saki Akai made sure that her partners weren’t injured. She then said Eruption will do their best to main event the next time DDT holds a big event in Nagoya.

The return of #STRONGHEARTS to DDT saw them clash with Junretsu and CIMA couldn’t resist trolling Jun Akiyama and Yusuke Okada over their previous home promotion. A few days ago CIMA won the AJPW World Jr. Heavyweight Title and he flaunted it in front of Akiyama & Okada. In return Akiyama showed off the KO-D Title to CIMA. In the match itself, Shigehiro Irie stepped up to Akiyama while El Lindaman wiped out Okada & Makoto Oishi with a Topé Con Hilo. Hideki Okatani was left isolated and picked apart until T-Hawk pinned him. Akiyama showed respect to CIMA after the match by handing him his title and shaking his hand. CIMA then taunted Okada with the belt. In his backstage comment afterwards, Akiyama said he is well aware that he hasn’t won a match since becoming the KO-D Champion.

The Sauna Club’s other defeat on the show was against DAMNATION. When Daisuke Sasaki and Yuki Ueno faced off, Sasaki was able to avoid the WR. Tetsuya Endo eventually made Shunma Katsumata submit but he isn’t interested in chasing after the DDT Extreme Title. Instead he wants the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. Still, he thinks champions shouldn’t lose so it’s a bad look for Katsumata.

DAMNATION were trying to get all over their opponents in Match #5. Nobuhiro Shimatani kept getting involved by distracting Yukio Naya and aiding Mad Paulie. Then Soma Takao threw a chairshot but Naya ducked and Paulie got hit instead. Toru Owashi used his Lucha skill to throw Shimatani & Hiroshi Yamato out of the ring. When things went back to normal, Naya beat Paulie in the heavyweight battle and got the win for his team.

Young defeated old in the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles match. The DDT Legend Army saw their chances go up in smoke when HARASHIMA went for the Somato but Akito pulled Danshoku Dieno in the way and made him take the Somato right in the butt. Kazuki Hirata got rid of HARASHIMA while Shota did a Frog Splash on Dieno and then did a dive into Sanshiro Takagi. Akito finished Dieno off by putting him in an Anaconda Vice with a Lip Lock also applied to get the submission win.

After the match, Akito said the Young Communication Generation may not be able to rewrite the history of DDT that their opponents today built but instead they made a new folder for them to create new memories and records in. DAMNATION entered the ring declaring themselves the next challengers. It will be Endo, Takao & Yuji Hino will get a title shot on 14th March.

Hino doesn’t have to worry about Yuki Iino for the time being. He beat him fair and square with the Fucking BOMB and as seen above has already moved on from this feud. Iino however swears that one day he will beat Hino and he will do it with the Spear!

Match #2 was briefly turned into a Handicap match when Antonio Honda’s fake knee injury was so convincing he had to be taken out of the ring on a stretcher. Akai had to fight the NEO Itoh Respect Army on her own but her scream for help was answered by Honda coming to the rescue. He then tripped and hurt his knee again. Maki Itoh created her own Gongitsune to flirt with Honda’s version of it until Akai broke them up. In the end Chris Brookes caught Honda in the Octopus Stretch, making him give up.

In the opener, Shimatani thought Toui Kojima’s name was Oshima. He and Yamato took out Keigo Nakamura with the Double Sliding X, leading to Yamato winning with his finisher.

6. DDT Extreme Title – Kids Room Death Match 37 (Sauna) Count Edition: Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs MAO

The DDT Extreme Title will be defended in a Kids Room Death Match. Fitting given how much Shunma Katsumata and MAO act like kids whenever they fight each other. You can win with a normal 3 count but you can also win when all of your 1 and 2 counts add up to a total score of 37 (which in Japanese kind of sounds like Sauna). No rope breaks are allowed and weapons are permitted except those considered by the referee to be particularly dangerous.

Yuki Ueno and Yusuke Okada have to be split apart and put on opposite teams again.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “CHANGE THE WIND DIRECTION”, 06/03/2021

2. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Semi Final: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
3. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: X & X Vs X & X

We’re down to four teams: NEO Biishiki-gun, HikaShio, 121000000 and Kyoraku Kyomei. Ever since Sakisama returned to Tokyo Joshi Pro for her latest campaign, Sena Shiori has been a regular opponent for her in what has been a one sided feud so far. The other side of the bracket involves two teams both with massive momentum behind them.

10. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
11. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X

The teams will now consist of 11 participants instead of 12 because Maki Itoh has a scheduling conflict and cannot be on the show. I have no inkling of what the schedule clash is so you’re not getting any speculation here. Team White is captained by Rika Tatsumi and Team Red has Shoko Nakajima as their captain. A lottery will determine who from the roster will be on which team. Each match has a 5 minute time limit and 2 Count pins. If the time expires then 1 Count sudden death overtime begins to determine the winner. The team with the most wins at the end gets the Genghis Khan Kirishima prize voucher.

1. Junretsu Vs Eruption!: Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi
2. DDT UNIVERSAL TITLE: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Yusuke Okada

Okada has stepped up to Ueno, jealous of the DDT UNIVERSAL Champion for being more successful and better looking than him. There’s still a sense of friendly competition going on between them but that could get thrown out the window if the match gets heated.

5. STOP THE Hidaka! Special Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Ikuto Hidaka & Yasu Urano

It looks like Ikuto Hidaka has virtually swept the Ganbare☆Pro roster but Kouki Iwasaki wants another shot at him. They last fought each other in a singles match back in November.

Onryo is a big step up from Shota’s last opponent that’s for sure.

Noa has been wanting to do hardcore wrestling for ages and Rina was the first person she suggested as her opponent. She wants to learn as much hardcore wrestling as she can from her while in return introduce Rina to TJPW.

Two promotion representatives face off in the main event. It’s Ken Ohka from Ganpro against Takashi Sasaki from FREEDOMS. Ohka wants to go one step further after he finally defeated The Aka Rangers and he is willing to go through lighttubes to do it!

The new GWC 6-Man Tag Team Champions have decided to hold off on defending the belts until this show. It was Shinichiro Tominaga’s idea because he does not want to risk losing the titles before they make it to Korakuen Hall.

Wrestlers announced to appear include Moeka Haruhi, Minoru Fujita, Yasu Urano, Miyuki Takase and Ayumi Hayashi.

1. Shota’s Independent Journey: Shota defeated Hyper Brave G-Valion with a Casadora (9:33).
2. THE HALFEE Vs Sagat Manase: SAGAT & Yuna Manase defeated Moeka Haruhi & Shu Sakurai when SAGAT pinned Sakurai with a Diving Body Press (11:05).
3. Ganpro Vs Aka Rangers: Ken Ohka & Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO when Ohka pinned GENTARO with the Flame Spear (12:45).
4. STOP THE Hidaka! Special Single Match: Ikuto Hidaka defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Stray Dog High Kick (14:16).
5. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Keisuke Ishii, Kouki Iwasaki & HARUKAZE (c) when Tominaga submitted HARUKAZE with the Mokunin Just Facelock (17:36).
*DREAMS HARU TRUE fails in V1. Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga becomes the 25th GWC 6-Man Tag Team Champions!

Oh well, easy come easy go. DREAMS HARU TRUE looked to be a well oiled machine by giving Shinichiro Tominaga a Triple Power Bomb. But HARUKAZE’s attempt to seal the deal fell apart when Tominaga blocked her Flame Spear, then Asuka caught her with a Super Kick and Hagane Shinno took her down with a Lariat. HARUKAZE had one chance left when she rolled away from Tominaga’s Moonsault and went for the Cross Armbreaker. But Tominaga powered out of it an applied the Just Facelock. HARUKAZE desperately tried to reach the ropes but had no choice but to tap out and lose her first championship without a single successful defence. Tominaga made it clear after the show that he does not want to defend the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles in March so the team will go into Korakuen Hall on 7th April as the guaranteed reigning champions.

Keisuke Ishii said HARUKAZE did her best but it was time for DREAMS HARU TRUE to split up. HARUKAZE was upset but asked if Ishii and Kouki Iwasaki would reform the group in the future if she became stronger. They both nodded. Iwasaki then said he wants a rematch with Ikuto Hidaka so he can avenge his defeat to him. Ken Ohka approved and told the trio that today’s breakup is not a backwards step for any of them, but a positive move forward.

Iwasaki’s challenge to Hidaka came because Hidaka believes he has ran out of opponents in Ganbare☆Pro. Hidaka overcame a spirited fight from Yumehito Imanari but the result was no different to the previous matches in the “STOP THE Hidaka” campaign.

Ohka finally got what he wanted, a win over The Aka Rangers. Having Shuichiro Katsumura on his team was a difference maker. He kept Takashi Sasaki held back while Ohka was able to get the better of GENTARO. Ohka celebrated the victory by challenging Sasaki to a singles match at the April Korakuen show! Not only that but he wants it to be a Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match! As Ohka’s senpai, Sasaki won’t run or hide away from the challenge. He’ll crush Ohka at Korakuen!

164 Fans

1. Daisuke Sasaki defeated Keigo Nakamura with the Cross Facelock (10:23).
2. No DQ Handicap Match: Toru Owashi & Danshoku Dieno defeated Kazuki Hirata when Dieno pinned Hirata with a School Boy (10:31).
3. Chris Brookes & Yusuke Okada defeated Yuki Ueno & Toui Kojima when Okada pinned Kojima with the Fisherman Buster (13:24).
4. Shunma Katsumata & MAO defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Yukio Naya when MAO pinned Naya with a Two Person Cradle (12:36).
5. The Mountain Of Akagi Is Only Here Tonight! Maebashi Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Soma Takao & Yuji Hino defeated HARASHIMA, Kazusada Higuchi & Antonio Honda when Hino pinned Honda with the Fucking BOMB (12:40).
6. Junretsu Vs ALL OUT!: Konosuke Takeshita, Akito & Yuki Iino defeated Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Hideki Okatani when Iino pinned Okatani with a Diving Hip Drop (15:55).

It is two days before DDT visits Nagoya for their second big event of the month. ALL OUT and the DDT Sauna Club are in tune for their matches this Tuesday. Konosuke Takeshita was happy with his performance against Jun Akiyama today but he isn’t turning his sights away from winning the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Compared to yesterday, Yuki Iino was a little bit calmer and he also added a Diving Hip Drop to his moveset because he thinks hitting the Spear is no longer enough of a guarantee to finish off his opponents. He hasn’t come up with his own name for it yet.

MAO & Shunma Katsumata outsmarted Yukio Sakaguchi in an unusual way. MAO used a cradle hold to pin Yukio Naya and with Katsumata’s assistance, trapped Sakaguchi on top of himself to add extra weight pressing down on Naya’s shoulders for the three count. MAO now has no doubt that he and Takeshita will win the KO-D Tag Titles from Eruption. He will win the championship and become a hero! He also said if Katsumata beats him in their upcoming DDT Extreme Title defence that does not mean Katsumata becomes a hero too.

Yesterday Yusuke Okada challenged Yuki Ueno for the DDT UNIVERSAL Title. They were meant to team up today but agreed to be on opposite teams after the title match was confirmed to happen on 14th March.

Kazuki Hirata was meant to team with Mizuki Watase but the match switched to being a 3 Way after Watase’s injury. Hirata still wanted to cause a revolution in Maebashi so he demanded to fight Toru Owashi & Danshoku Dieno in a No DQ Handicap Match instead. Hirata was in danger from being outnumbered but received unexpected help from the ring announcer Inoue Mic. He wanted to join Hirata’s revolution and offered his pair of glasses to Hirata after Owashi threw the Hirata GO! glasses away. Hisaya Imabayashi also joined in the revolution and gave his glasses to Hirata for him to dance. Hirata was then rolled up by Dieno for the three count. Hirata apologised for his failed revolution but Imabayashi encouraged him to try again next year. Hirata was then carried to the back on the shoulders of Imabayashi, Inoue and Keigo Nakamura.

1. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Noa pinned Kiryu with the Blizzard Suplex (8:55).
2. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Mirai Maiumi & Suzume when Saint-Michel submitted Suzume with the Saint-Michel (14:28).
3. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo defeated Marika Kobashi, Raku, Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko when Sakazaki pinned Harajuku with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (8:43).
4. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe when Itoh submitted Tatsumi with the Modified Itoh Special (13:53).
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino when Nakajima pinned Tenma with the Diving Senton (14:09).

Two rounds in and the big guns of the tournament have mostly all fallen. The Bakuretsu Sisters were eliminated by Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao in a rematch of the recent Princess Tag Team Titles defence. Misao saved her partner from the Killswitch and got rid of Yuki Aino with the Hipami Returns. That gave Nakajima the opening to pin Nodoka Tenma with the Diving Senton. Nakajima still regrets failing to win the Tag Titles and owes a debt to Misao over it so they’re aiming to win the tournament! Also Nakajima noticed that she is moving faster and lighter around the ring than she has been for the last month. Maybe being a superhero for a month worked out for her after all. The Sisters are obviously disappointed over losing and said they will wait at the top of the mountain for the eventual tournament winners. They’ll take the lift up there while everyone else is climbing after them.

Daydream were also eliminated in an upset but the result might be a sign of an upcoming shift in power at Tokyo Joshi Pro. The team of Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh is not a new pairing and their teamwork was something Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe didn’t anticipate. Itoh was lifted up for the Daydream Eternity but Yamashita saved her and dropped Tatsumi face first into Itoh’s head before German Suplexing her. Itoh then took over with a Modified Itoh Special and shockingly made Tatsumi tap out! Backstage, Yamashita & Itoh announced they now have a tag team name. From today forward they are 121000000 (One To Million)! Itoh explained that they may not be able to win on their own, but together they are both a million times stronger. Yamashita came up with other names but Itoh ignored her messages and came up with 121000000 after talking with Yuki Kamifuku.

Whatever bad omen Sakisama sensed yesterday doesn’t have anything to do with NEO Biishiki-gun it seems. They had no problem beating BeeStar today. Mirai Maiumi & Suzume are so insignificant to Sakisama that she only remembers them by their colours, blue and yellow. She also isn’t impressed that the tournament winners will get a trophy because she can buy trophies whenever she wants. She wants a victory parade instead.

Last but not least, Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori made it to the semi-finals over Toyo University Tag. Shiori said her bond with Noa is strong which is why their team works. Kamifuku teased Mahiro Kiryu backstage for losing the fall. She said Kiryu lied to her about wanting to win today. She threatened to leave her unless she promises not to lie to her again and also buy her lunch at the school cafeteria. Only then will they make up.

The semi-final lottery was held later in the evening for the final rounds happening on 6th March. The first semi-final is NEO Biishiki-gun Vs Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori (team name HikaShio). The other is 121000000 Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (team name Kyoraku Kyomei).

A new series of events called “TJPW INSPIRATION” will begin on 1st April. The concept will be an experimental show held every couple of months with a small roster being challenged with new possibilities. The main event of the first show will be Hikari Noa versus freelancer Rina Yamashita in a Hardcore Match! Noa wants to absorb everything that Yamashita throws at her. She also wants Yamashita to go to Tokyo Joshi proper so this might not be a one time appearance.

6. Road To NAGOYA! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, MAO & Yuki Ueno defeated HARASHIMA, Yukio Sakaguchi & Kazusada Higuchi when Takeshita pinned Sakaguchi with the German Suplex (17:33).

The main event was DDT Sauna Club’s warning to Eruption. The finish saw Konosuke Takeshita give Kazusada Higuchi a Last Ride Power Bomb then he would break out of Yukio Sakaguchi’s Sleeper Hold to pin him with the German Suplex. He told the both of them afterwards it’s been a long time since the Sauna Club got to show off their true colours. MAO chipped in that this match is the result of all his strength and he is only going to get stronger. The Sauna Club promise that every member will be holding a title belt in Nagoya next week.

Yuki Iino went on a warpath because he can’t keep his emotions in check around Yuji Hino. The two brawled around ringside leading to Iino hitting Spears on Hino and Mad Paulie. Iino then lost control and hit his own partner Shunma Katsumata with a Lariat before entering the ring in time to win by countout. Iino grabbed the microphone and shouted he will crush Hino in Nagoya! Backstage Iino explained that when he went into a rage, everyone looked like Hino to him and he just wanted to scream at a high place.

Everyone knows Yusuke Okada wants to face Yuki Ueno for the DDT UNIVERSAL Title so he didn’t want to waste any more time and threw out the challenge. Ueno politely said he’s been waiting for somebody to grab his attention. He’s happy to see Okada do that. Okada has a lot of respect for Ueno but he hates him for being better looking. Their title match will happen in Korakuen Hall on 14th March.

The generation feud between the DDT Legend Army and Young Communication Generation continues. Sanshiro Takagi directed traffic by lifting up Akito in the Spicolli Driver and holding him there for Danshoku Dieno to Lip Lock him. After the Driver, Dieno then put Akito in the Danshoku Killswitch position and waited for Takagi to give him a Stunner for extra damage. The prone Dieno pinned Akito and Takagi gave Shota a Stunner after the match.

The DDT Extreme Title Match between Katsumata and MAO on 28th February will be a Kids Room Death Match 37 (Sauna) Count Edition. Katsumata wants the ring to be like a kid’s playroom so anything that is not considered dangerous can be used as a weapon. The goal is to either win with a 3 count pin or have enough 1 and 2 count pins to reach 37 counts in total (3 = san, 7 = nana). Katsumata wants to move beyond MAO so he can reach the next step. MAO just wants to “Destroy Shunma Katsumata!”

Akito announced the main event for the 3rd March BOYZ show is a 5 Vs 5 Gauntlet Match between the New BOYZ Army and the Old BOYZ Army.
