The summer is nearing its end and so too is this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup. Four women are left standing and two of those will be next to fall. Miyu Yamashita is trying to win the tournament for the first time after a decade of trying, Yuki Arai is benefitting from adding Saki Akai’s Rookie Award finisher to her moveset, Rika Tatsumi is in the middle of one hell of a run and Yuki Kamifuku is showing everyone just how successful she can be when she puts her mind to it.

Mizuki & Mahiro Kiryu are the two women teaming together to fight NEO Biishiki-gun.

Match #4 is made up of the four women who were knocked out in the Quarter Finals.

The 6-Woman Tag Match in Match #2 is entirely made up of the 2023 class.

DDT “SAKI AKAI 10TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR IN KORAKUEN!!”, 13/08/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

7. Saki Akai Debut 10th Anniversary Match Vol. 2 ~ Special 6-Woman Tag Match: Saki Akai, Maya Yukihi & Asuka Vs Takumi Iroha, Rina Yamashita & Shoko Nakajima

Akai’s next 10th Anniversary match will feature her teaming with Maya Yukihi & Asuka. They were two of her recent big opponents here in DDT. Their opponents all debuted in 2013, the same year as Akai. Takumi Iroha & Rina Yamashita were already announced and this past weekend Shoko Nakajima was revealed to be the third woman on the team.

Hirata found a way to beat HARASHIMA. He’s also beaten Sakaguchi once before but as Extreme Champion he will come up with any stipulation that will tip the scales in his favour. Otherwise Sakaguchi is going to kill him and take his title!

Makoto Oishi has convinced Yuji Hino to go after the KO-D Tag Team Titles with him. Maybe Hino would be better off teaming with Yukio Naya for the match but Oishi being such a caring father for his children convinced Hino to stick with him.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN – DAY 1”, 16/08/2023
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

Tokyo Ota Ward Industrial Plaza PiO Small Exhibition Hall

1. Special Tag Match: Soma Takao & Shota Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Kazuki Hirata
2. Jun Akiyama, Saki Akai & Antonio Honda Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ishida & Rukiya
3. DAMNATION T.A Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima

The recent actions of Konosuke Takeshita has fired up the rivalry between DAMNATION T.A and The 37KAMIINA. The one here is a rematch from the end of June when Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul beat Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima to win the vacant tag titles.

DDT “OSAKA BAY BLUES SPECIAL 2023”, 20/08/2023
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. Osaka Specialty Special Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Tsutenkakka Vs Akito & Kazuma Sumi

5. Current Blast Death Match: Atsushi Onita, Yoshitatsu & Toy Kojima Vs Yukio Sakaguchi, Hideki Okatani & Soma Takao

Sasaki has a few singles matches against different members of The 37KAMIINA this month. Yuki Ueno keeps being told by Takeshita to follow his lead and Sasaki has become a big supporter of that idea.

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2023”, 27/08/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Saki Akai Debut 10th Anniversary Match Vol. 3 ~ Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Saki Akai
2. Special Single Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs MAO
3. HARASHIMA Debut 22nd Anniversary Match: HARASHIMA Vs X

Sasaki also has to face MAO. He might start regretting taking Takeshita’s side in the matter just because of how much extra ring work it’s giving him.

Akai asked Danshoku Dieno for a singles match to call back memories of the Extreme Title bout from 2016. Their match back then featured a stipulation that nobody was allowed to cry or else they would lose. It was a match that Akai learned a lot and still thinks about after all this time. Dieno understands how much it means to her and will not be using his “Dandy” persona for that reason.

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN IZUKOGEN GRANILLUMI”, 02/09/2023
Shizuoka Izu Granpal Park

1. Falls Count Anywhere 4 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Saki Akai Vs Yuki Ueno, MAO & Toy Kojima (w/ Shunma Katsumata) Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Shinya Aoki & Takeshi Masada Vs Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & X

A lot of people are gathering together to wrestle among the bright lights of Izu Granpal Park. Not only is Shinya Aoki showing up but Pheromones will be joined by a mystery wrestler.

DDT “DDT BIG BANG 2023”, 09/09/2023
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Pheromones Vs Subjugation Final Match! Special Single Match ~ Dissolution Contra Vice President: Yuki “Sexy” Iino (w/ Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno) Vs Akito
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani Vs Yuko Miyamoto, Isami Kodaka & Ram Kaichow
3. Special Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Yuki Ueno & MAO
4. Current Blast Death Match: Atsushi Onita, Yoshi Tatsu & Toy Kojima Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

Sick of his demands being ignored, Atsushi Onita took it upon himself last week to crash a training session at the DDT dojo and confront Jun Akiyama. Apparently Onita got in touch with Kojima and demanded to find out when Akiyama was in the building. Kojima told him but didn’t actually expect he would show up. Onita told Akiyama the names of many famous wrestlers who fought him in Explosion Death Matches then asked why is he the only person who refuses to take part? Onita also reminded Sanshiro Takagi he was promised this match would happen. Akiyama accepted the challenge and both sides decided their teams. Onita will team with Yoshi Tatsu & Toy Kojima while Akiyama & Takagi will add Yusuke Okada to their team.

Is the team of Ueno & MAO enough to beat Takeshita & Sasaki? We’re heading into dangerous territory here as tensions raise higher and higher.

If Eruption are still the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions coming out of their All Japan appearance at the end of this month then their match against Yuko Miyamoto, Isami Kodaka & Ram Kaichow will be a title match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~NAGOYA PERFORMANCE~”, 18/09/2023
Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall

1. Saki Akai & Yuki Arai Vs X & X

This will be the final time Reiwa AA Cannon will team together, just two months before Akai retires.

DDT “DRAMATIC EXPLOSION 2023”, 18/09/2023
Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall

1. Current Blast Death Match: Atsushi Onita Vs X

Minoru Suzuki will be on the show. This is happening the same day as the Bullet Train match with Takagi by the way. How else were they making it to Nagoya?

“MASAHIRO TAKANASHI 20TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW”, 19/09/2023
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Exhibition: Masahiro Takanashi Vs KUDO
2. Yukio Sakaguchi, Isami Kodaka & Ken Ohka Vs MAO, Daiki Shimomura & Munetatsu Nakamura
3. Special Single Match: Mei Suruga Vs Minoru Suzuki
4. Chris Brookes Vs Masahiro Takanashi

No way was KUDO going to miss Masahiro Takanashi’s big show. He isn’t in ring shape to do a full wrestling match so Takanashi decided KUDO will face him in a 5 minute exhibition instead.

Saki Akai will also be on the show.

The home ground for FC Machida Zelvia played host to an outdoor Ganbare☆Pro show before the team’s game against JEF United Chiba. To mark the ocassion Ken Ohka, Seiya Morohashi & HIROYA all wore blue in their costumes to match the colour of Zelvia’s home kit. They won their match by joining together to deliver a Triple Power Bomb. Zelvia went on to lose their game 3-1 so er… maybe CyberFight should have sent NOAH to the stadium today instead.

Other activities took place in between matches. One of them allowed fans to step into the ring and take pictures with the wrestlers. Shuichiro Katsumura encouraged a kid to Penalty Kick him in the chest. He joked that the kid’s kick was so strong they could grow up to become either a football player or a pro wrestler.

Hisaya Sides With Pheromones, YuuRI’s Big Advance

July 18, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 22/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Mizuki Vs Haruna Neko Vs Shino Suzuki
2. Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Suzume & Runa Okubo
3. Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami Vs Nao Kakuta & Haru Kazashiro
4. Yuki Aino Vs Toga
5. Rika Tatsumu, Miu Watanabe, Moka Miyamoto & HIMAWARI Vs Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1G: Arisu Endo Vs Mahiro Kiryu
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1H: Hikari Noa Vs Yuki Arai

So many shows happened over the last three days so I’m happy to get a little bit of a break before things ramp up again. The last two matches in the Tokyo Princess Cup 1st Round sees Arisu Endo against Mahiro Kiryu and a rematch from last year’s tournament between Hikari Noa and Yuki Arai.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2023”, 23/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Takeshi Masada Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Sanshiro Takagi, Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Yuni Vs Masahiro Takanashi, Toy Kojima & Rukiya
3. Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari (w/ Hisaya Kachikire) Vs Akito, Soma Takao & Yoshitomo Shimohigashi (w/ Buchigire Ujihara)

5. Special Tag Match: Chiitan☆ & Pokotan Vs Andreza Giant Panda & Super Sasadango Machine
6. Special Tag Match ~ Yukio Naya Return Match: HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya Vs Jun Akiyama & Shigehiro Irie
7. Special Single Match: TAKA Michinoku Vs MAO
8. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Yuki Ueno
9. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida (c) Vs Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani
10. Mexico Kanko Presents Dramatic Dream Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs El Desperado
11. DDT Universal Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Matt Cardona (w/ Steph De Lander)
12. KO-D Openweight Title – Good Com Asset Presents: Yuji Hino (c) Vs Chris Brookes

Chaos broke out at a rally event held by Akito, Soma Takao & Yoshitomo Shimohigashi to promote the show. Pheromones found out the location was at a store where the DDT GM Hisaya Imabayashi works part-time. Imabayashi is currently subcontracted to DDT instead of being a full time employee, so he got a part-time job here to make up for his drop in salary. When Pheromones crashed the event and started causing trouble with Akito’s team they ended up dragging a bystander into the situation. That person turned out to be Buchigire Ujihara, a comedian and Youtuber who is friends with Shimohigashi. Imabayashi found out who he was and started complaining it’s unfair that he has to work these low paying part-time jobs while Ujihara gets rich by acting a fool on Youtube. Since Imabayashi is not fully employed by DDT, he no longer sees the point in opposing Pheromones. Instead he is going to be on their side at Sumo Hall under the name Hisaya Kachikire. In response to this Ujihara agreed to be in the corner of Akito’s team for the match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 29/07/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Miyu Yamashita Vs Moka Miyamoto
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Rika Tatsumi Vs Shoko Nakajima
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Yuki Kamifuku Vs Miu Watanabe
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 1G Vs Winner Of Match 1H

The final 8 is almost complete. Yuki Kamifuku and Miu Watanabe are now in each other’s way on the path to the semi finals.

GANBARE☆PRO “UNDER THE SILVER LAKE 2023”, 06/08/2023
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Special Single Match: Ken Ohka Vs Koji Doi
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shuichiro Katsumura & Takuya Wada (c) Vs Hartley Jackson & HARUKAZE
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs YuuRI

It’s been a weekend to remember for YuuRI. She settled a score with Misa Kagura going back to their JTO beginnings, won the main championship of Ice Ribbon the next day and is now challenging Isami Kodaka in a bid to rescue the Spirit Of Ganbare Title! This isn’t the kind of match Kodaka was expecting to get involved in after taking Ganbare☆Pro’s singles belt but he is still intrigued by the challenge.

GanPro’s first attempt and defending themselves against DoiKuma did not go the way they wanted it to. Ken Ohka was beaten but still wants to fight Kuma Arashi to get his revenge. Arashi is not interested in facing Ohka one on one and has plans elsewhere to worry about. Koji Doi however is interested in fighting Ohka by himself while Arashi is busy.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO BATTLE GAREGGA ’23”, 11/08/2023
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. ICEx∞ Title: YuuRI (c) Vs Ami Manase

The ICEx∞ Title is the name of the championship YuuRI won in Ice Ribbon. Her title win is significant because she is only two years and eight months into her wrestling career. The only person to have won that title with less experience at the time was Suzu Suzuki at one year and eight months. YuuRI decided her first title defence will be at the next Ganbare☆Joshi show. She picked Ami Manase to be her opponent because they haven’t fought each other in GanJo yet.

GANBARE☆PRO “FRENCH CONNECTION 2023” Results

July 17, 2023

GANBARE☆PRO “FRENCH CONNECTION 2023”, 17/07/2023
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
81 Fans

1. Tyson Maeguchi defeated Yuki Kanzaki with the Super Tyson Splash (9:27).
2. Hartley Jackson & HARUKAZE defeated Yumehito Imanari & Yoshiko Hasegawa when HARUKAZE pinned Hasegawa with the Spear (13:53).
3. Shingo defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with the Wakikatame (9:57).
4. YuuRI defeated Riara with the Swanton Bomb (7:11).
5. Koji Doi & Kuma Arashi defeated Ken Ohka & Shota when Doi pinned Shota with a Lariat (16:30).
6. Shuichiro Katsumura, Soma Takao & HIROYA defeated Keisuke Ishii, Mizuki Watase & Munetatsu Nakamura when Katsumura submitted Nakamura with the Triple Three 3 Lock (12:46).

What a day it’s been for YuuRI. First of all, she wrestled on an Ice Ribbon show in Yokohama where she defeated Totoro Satsuki to become the new ICEx∞ Champion! She then got to live up to the promise she made to the fans yesterday by bringing the belt with her to Ganbare☆Pro. One new title is not enough for her though. Her next goal is to become a Double Crown Champion and she wants to bring GanPro’s main championship home in the process. That’s right, she is challenging Isami Kodaka for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title! Kodaka accepted the match for 6th August. He wants to know who is stronger, the young and vigorous new champion or the 41 year old who suffered heatstroke while wrestling in BASARA earlier today?

At the end of the show Shuichiro Katsumura said he was going to make a similar challenge for 6th August in the hopes of winning another championship to go along with the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles he holds with Takuya Wada. However when he heard about YuuRI challenging Kodaka he decided to give her his full support instead and rallied the rest of the GanPro roster to join him.

The first wave of GanPro’s defence against the invading DoiKuma ended in a painful failure. Kuma Arashi & Koji Doi dominated against Ken Ohka & Shota despite the home team’s best efforts. Ohka still wanted to fight and challenged Arashi to a singles match on 6th August. Arashi refused (he later admitted it’s because he already has a match scheduled with Ryouji Sai that day) and decided to beat Ohka up some more. Doi then decided he will accept Ohka’s challenge instead.

The GanPro debut of Shingo (Suzuki) saw the DEEP MMA champion submit Shinichiro Tominaga. Shingo showed a lot more than just MMA fighting. He did an Inverted Diving Senton from the top rope as well as a 2nd Rope Moonsault. He even did a Firebird Splash except Tominaga rolled out of the way. Despite that setback, Shingo trapped him in a Wakikatame to win. Afterwards Shingo said the GanPro ring is worth fighting for and he would like to continue wrestling here.

Hartley Jackson & HARUKAZE are both feeling confident in their chances of winning the SOG Tag Titles. HARUKAZE believes their teamwork and combined power makes them the better team than Ground Absolute. Jackson said nothing will make him happier than to win the titles with HARUKAZE.

The next Ganbare☆Joshi show is also taking place on 11th August. YuuRI wants to defend the ICEx∞ Title on the show and is considering Yuna Manase’s masked sister Ami Manase as her challenger.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO FIGHTING SPIRITS ’23” Results

July 16, 2023

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO FIGHTING SPIRITS ’23”, 16/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
205 Fans

1. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: Sumire Natsu defeated Riara with the Shining Wizard (10:32).
2. Banny Oikawa Comeback Match: Cherry & Alex Lee defeated Miyako Matsumoto & Banny Oikawa when Cherry submitted Oikawa with the Sakuran Bokari (10:20).
3. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: SAKI defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Power “Zu” Ram (11:27).
4. Makoto & Asuka defeated Ami Manase & Marika Kobashi when Makoto pinned Manase with the Death Valley Bomb (16:59).
5. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: YuuRI defeated Misa Kagura with the Swanton Bomb (11:15).

As Ganbare☆Joshi begins to grow, so too does YuuRI’s success at winning matches. She scored a significant victory today by beating her old JTO classmate Misa Kagura in the main event of the latest GanJo show. With this momentum, YuuRI will be heading over to Ice Ribbon tomorrow to challenge Totoro Satsuki for the ICEx∞ Title. She told the fans she is going to win the title in the afternoon and then show up at the evening’s Ganbare☆Pro show as a champion! Backstage Kagura said she is aiming to win the ICEx∞ Title this year too. She will win it from YuuRI!

A Super Kick & Death Valley Bomb combo from Asuka & Makoto put Ami Manase down for the count. This may also be the last time we see Marika Kobashi in GanJo for a while because she is visiting England in August to spend the rest of her summer studying.

Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs SAKI was a match between two former wrestlers who made their starts in Actwres girl’Z. SAKI won the match but Hasegawa refused to shake her hand afterwards. She explained backstage that shaking hands like that would end her story with SAKI. She wants to get stronger and face SAKI again to keep that story going. When SAKI heard that was the reason, she asked if she can bring in wrestlers from her Color’s unit to turn this situation into a promotional rivalry against GanJo.

One of of Ice Ribbon’s former wrestlers returned to the ring at this GanJo show. Banny Oikawa had her comeback match teaming with Miyako Matsumoto, the woman responsible for convincing her to enter GanJo. Sadly Oikawa’s big return was spoiled by Cherry & Alex Lee. Cherry used her Sakuran Bokari submission hold to make Oikawa give up and lose the match. Still, Oikawa is committed to the return and announced she will be back in GanJo for their 11th August show. She wants to work her way up to GanPro so she can wrestle in mixed gender matches.

In a battle of the night life hostesses Sumire Natsu defeated Riara. The match consisted of Natsu pouring a bottle of champagne over her opponent and also attacking her with a whip until the referee stopped her. Natsu knocked the ref down but that led to Riara grabbing the whip and using it to fight back. However Natsu regained control of the match and pinned Riara with the Shining Wizard. Then after the match Riara unexpectedly asked Natsu if she wanted to form a tag team together! Natsu didn’t give her a straight answer. Instead she said pro wrestling and the entertainment business both value connections so they will meet again some day.

Yuna Manase appeared at the beginning of the show, thanking the fans for making up the biggest attendance yet for a GanJo show.

Reaching the semi finals by beating Yamashita in Korakuen Hall would do that.
