MONDAY MAGIC “UNIVERSE MAGIC 2026”, 09/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takeru Inoue & Sentaro Motoshima defeated Yuki Toki & Nobuhiko Kimura when Inoue submitted Toki with a Crab Hold (8:56).
2. The 1st UNIVERSE CUP – Round 1: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Great Mummy with the Stunner (8:23).
3. The 1st UNIVERSE CUP – Round 1: Naomichi Marufuji defeated Kuroshio TOKYO Japan with the Perfect Neck Lock (9:12).
4. Takumi Iroha, Utami Hayashishita & Miyuki Takase Vs Mayu Iwatani, Mika Iwata & Mio Momono ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).
5. The 1st UNIVERSE CUP – Round 1: The Great Sasuke defeated Isami Kodaka with La Magistral Cradle (12:24).
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 Uptown 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!

MONDAY MAGIC “UNIVERSE MAGIC 2026”, 06/04/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. The 1st UNIVERSE CUP – Semi Final: Sanshiro Takagi Vs The Great Sasuke
2. The 1st UNIVERSE CUP – Semi Final: Hayabusa Vs Naomichi Marufuji
3. Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: X Vs X
4. 10-WOMAN MAGIC RUMBLE: X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X
3. The 1st UNIVERSE CUP – Final: X Vs X

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.

GANBARE☆PRO “GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE 2026” Results

March 7, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE 2026”, 07/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
143 Fans

1. Yumehito Imanari defeated Sentaro Motoshima with a Crab Hold (10:23).
2. Ken Ohka, Akira Shoji & Shin Suzuki defeated Choun Shiryu, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Chika when Shoji pinned Shiryu with the STO (10:13).
3. Shigehiro Irie defeated Shota Kawakami with the AUF DIE FRESSE (12:37).
4. Shoko Nakajima defeated YuuRI with the Northern Lights Suplex (16:18).
5. Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga when Susumu submitted Tominaga with the Crossface Lock (11:31).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Takuya Wada with the Venetian (16:08).
*V1 for Mizuki Watase.

The first title defence is in the bag but it almost could have gone so wrong for Mizuki Watase. He was ready to fight Takuya Wada, “The King Of Pancrase” and didn’t expect he would face Takuya Wada the pro wrestler. Watase kept simulating the match over and over to prepare for today and had the conclusion that as long as he wouldn’t give up to Wada’s submission holds, he would win in the end. That was proven right and he won by pinning Wada with the Venetian.

After the match Shuichiro Katsumura challenged Watase for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title and the champion said it is a match suitable to headline Korakuen Hall. That comment led to a chain reaction of different wrestlers getting into the ring. Keisuke Ishii said Katsumura was jumping the gun and if anybody deserved to be in a Korakuen title match main event again it is him. Then Yuya Susumu showed up complaining that Ishii should be fighting him next instead of getting a title shot again. PSYCHO also got into the ring to let everyone know he wants the next shot without actually saying anything. Michiyoshi Mishima thought a 4 Way Match should between everyone should determine the No. 1 Contender until someone shouted it should be a tournament instead. Mishima agreed and made a one day tournament for 28th March for the No. 1 Contendership. Ishii and Susumu will finally have their singles match while Katsumura faces PSYCHO. Meanwhile Watase said he wants to go have a title defence over in America before the next Korakuen show happens!

Shigehiro Irie must be missing Germany while the 16 Carat Gold Tournament is happening over there this weekend. He used his AUF DIE FRESSE finisher (holds the opponent’s arm in a Hammerlock behind their head and then knocks them down with an Elbow Butt) to win his match.

Some other matches were made for upcoming GanPro shows. On 28th March YuuRI will face Rin, the former Rin Kadokura who recently returned to wrestling but will be retiring from the business this upcoming May. Ken Ohka also wants to form a Toyama trio with Shinichiro Tominaga & Akira Shoji at that show. Then on 29th April there are two matches booked so far. The first is Ohka & Guts Ishijima Vs Masaaki Mochizuki & Ryota Nakatsu to celebrate Ohka’s 25th Anniversary in wrestling. The other match is YuuRI Vs Utami Hayashishita from Marigold!

Toribami’s Mystery Trip, Kumadori Enters Super Japan, Minimo

March 6, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “PRELUDE TO GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 07/03/2026

During the week Kaya Toribami told Tokyo Joshi Pro she was going on a trip to Iga City on short notice and would record a vlog of her visit to the area. There she met Genichi Mitsuhashi, the first person to ever get a PhD for Ninja Studies in Mie University. She then spent the day training with him in his dojo. After learning some new techniques she was encouraged to visit a nearby Bishamonten shrine. When she walked inside the grounds she found a Oni mask and suddenly began to convulse after she picked it up. The footage ended there but allegedly Mitsuhashi found Toribami and sent her back to Tokyo. A short time later TJPW received a video from Mitsuhashi of Toribami falling into a trance after the convulsions and then unmasking herself before walking behind one of the shrines, leaving her mask behind…

Sanshiro Takagi will be at the show to reveal the new idol he scouted for a match at Sumo Hall.

2. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Fuminori Abe
3. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Kazunari Murakami
4. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Poison Sawada JULIE

The next Super Japan show needs some extra flair to wow the audience into voting for it to continue existing. Kuroshio TOKYO Japan was already advertised for the show and now we know he will be fighting the O-MENZ masked dancer Kumadori! They might give everyone a dance battle along with a pro wrestling match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

Training is going very well for Minimo-chan at the moment. So much so that the mascot is nailing down the details for its pro wrestling debut. Minimo has perfected its finishing move called the Drink Some Delicious Milk Pyon! Kick before moving onto weight training. Now Minimo has decided on its wrestler name. When Minimo-chan gets into the ring the mascot will become Minimo!

More PR instructions have been sent out by Super Sasadango Machine, this time it is one for Mizuki. Since her deadly Pico Pico Hammer has been stolen, she must go in search for a new legendary weapon to use against Andreza Giant Panda.

Yuni Injured, New Gen Army, Grand Princess ’26 PR Updates

March 3, 2026

DDT “D GENERATIONS 8”, 07/03/2026
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. Ali Najima Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Yuya Koroku & Kazuma Sumi Vs Yuki Ishida & Rukiya
3. Ilusion Vs Mikiya Sasaki
4. Special Single Match: Takeshi Masada Vs Daichi Sato
5. Special Single Match: To-y Vs Hideki Okatani

Over the weekend Yuni injured his left elbow and he has since been diagnosed with a joint contusion that needs two weeks of rest in order to recover. For that reason Yuni will be missing all of the DDT shows in the first half of March starting with the next D GENERATIONS show. Mikiya Sasaki is replacing him as Ilusion’s new opponent.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Shigehiro Irie Vs Shota Kawakami

Chika is coming over from Pro Wrestling Evolution.

Munetatsu Nakamura is still undergoing rehabilitation for his neck injury. It’s been decided his goal of returning to the ring this month will not happen and he will remain out of action during March. GanPro along with Nakamura’s doctor all want to ensure he is in top condition when he is ready to wrestle again.

DDT “NANIWA FIGHTERS 2026”, 08/03/2026
Osaka 176BOX

1. Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida Vs Junta Miyawaki & Antonio Honda

DDT “ICHIKABACHIKA 2026”, 11/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE

0. Dark Match – Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer Vs Rika Tatsumi & Uta Takami
1. Jun Akiyama & Kazuki Hirata Vs HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda
2. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Kazuma Sumi, Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shinya Aoki, Junta Miyawaki & Viento Maligno Vs Chris Brookes, Yuni & Hinata Kasai
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shishamo Power, Unagi Mask & Gota Ihashi Vs Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) Vs Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato

A new unit is developing among the D GENERATIONS wrestlers. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku decided to create a new stable focused on their age group and Daichi Sato agreed to join them. They don’t have a name at the moment so are temporarily being referred to as the New Generation Army. Since they already consist of three people they are going to fight for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles as their first big challenge. Kaisei Takechi is itching to wrestle again sooner than scheduled so he along with Yuki Ueno & To-y are ready to defend their titles next week.

We’re approaching that time of year when DDT holds sponsored matches with the Yamada Suisan seafood company. That means the return of the masked seafood themed wrestlers Shishamo Power and Unagi Mask. The match also sees Yuki Iino return to action after he’s been away training for his American Football team.

A bonus dark match is being provided by Tokyo Joshi Pro. At the time of writing Rika Tatsumi is still the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. Could the belt be going back home to DDT? Not if she has any say in it. Her goal as the champion is to bring the title all the way to TJPW’s Sumo Hall show at the end of the month.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2026 ~29TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 22/03/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Single Match ~ Shunma Katsumata Return Match: MAO Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. Dramatic Dream Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kazuki Hirata (w/ John Robinson)
3. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Hideki Okatani
4. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Kazuma Sumi
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs KANON

If it’s all been fun and games for To-y so far as the DDT Extreme Champion then Hideki Okatani is here to bring an end to it. To-y is gradually approaching the record for most Extreme Title defences in a single reign but Okatani is accusing him of padding out wins by only fighting old washed up wrestlers. To-y argues against that because some of his challengers so far have been from their own generation too.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Mizuki Vs Andreza Giant Panda
2. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro (w/ Super Sentai) Vs Aja Kong, Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku
3. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Hyper Misao & Super Sasadango Machine
4. International Princess Title: MIRAI (c) Vs Suzume
5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

Apparently TJPW went and did it. They struck a deal to have something Super Sentai related to show up at Sumo Hall and be involved with the ToJo Tokusatsu Club’s match. At least I think that is what’s happening. I’m confused because I thought the TV show just ended recently to be replaced with a similar substitute for reasons that involve the studio moving on from a copyright deadlock. I guess we’ll find out at Sumo Hall what the Super Sentai collaboration will look like. Maybe the Tokusatsu Club gets to morph into their own Super Sentai outfits before they go out and fight Pompaler & Aja Kong. Actually they should go full Kaiju Big Battel and have the ring filled with small cardboard buildings for everyone to smash and slam each other on.

The Tokusatsu Club recently completed their “fireball return” training but since fire was absolutely prohibited, they ended up doing batting practice with Tetsu Inada instead. There are updates for some of the other Super Sasadango Machine PR tasks to catch up on. The roster has spent the last few days putting up posters for the show around Tokyo. Minimo-chan has taken up weight training for its debut match. Shino Suzuki is finding more and more influencers to challenge for games of Rock Paper Scissors but has only beaten one opponent so far. She has to keep doing this until she beats two more.

Sasadango has also come up with more challenges for the wrestlers who haven’t been given any tasks yet. He has asked Shion Kanzaki to hold a street performance in the heart of Shinjuku. Meanwhile Miyu Yamashita was told to take on intensive idol training.

Although Ken Ohka & Hiroaki Moriya lost to Touchable in the title match main event, they still have belief in their abilities to change Japan in a positive way with their pro wrestling. Moriya told Ohka they just need to energize and do their best.

After Match #4, Yuto Kikuchi gestured to Mizuki Watase that he wants to fight him for a championship next time. Watase signalled that he can fight him for either the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title or the King Of FREEDOM World Tag Team Titles.

6. DDT Extreme Title – Soccer Vs Sumo! Mixed Martial Arts “ITACHI” Rules: To-y (c) Vs Yuki Ishida

After spending the week arguing with each other over not picking any DDT Extreme Title rules, To-y and Yuki Ishida have decided on mixing two sports together for the stipulation. The match will be Soccer Vs Sumo where only items relating to either sport are permitted to be used as weapons. Sumo is Yuki Ishida’s sport of course while To-y had a background in playing football before he became a pro wrestler.

Something to keep an eye on as we continue building up towards Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai is if there will be more damage done to Watanabe’s lower back. She is well aware of how much Arai is relying on the Scorpion Death Lock as her kill move lately.

Shoko Nakajima has been called in from Tokyo Joshi Pro to give YuuRI a match, Sentaro Motoshima is going to take on GanPro’s former two time champion Yumehito Imanari and Shota Kawakami is going to have to avoid getting crushed by Shigehiro Irie’s Cannonball attacks.

SUPER JAPAN “JUDGEMENT”, 24/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Fuminori Abe
2. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Kazunari Murakami
3. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Poison Sawada JULIE

It doesn’t matter what alternate timeline we are in, Sanshiro Takagi and Poison Sawada JULIE are still going to feud with each other. They have been enemies in DDT for a long time but it’s been 17 years since their last singles match against each other apparently. Super Japan gets the honour of reviving the matchup.

Super Japan is also pitting their ace Yuji Nagata against Fuminori Abe in a first time singles bout. They’ve already wrestled each other in two of the previous three Super Japan shows.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Mizuki Vs Andreza Giant Panda
2. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Hyper Misao & Super Sasadango Machine
3. International Princess Title: MIRAI (c) Vs Suzume
4. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee
5. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

Just when the mystery was getting good, the perpetrator has come out and admitted the crime. The indy wrestling outfit New Nemuro Pro Wrestling sent a video to TJPW taking the credit for stealing Mizuki’s Pico Pico Hammer while leaving behind an American flag as a red herring. New Nemuro’s most famous wrestler Andreza Giant Panda was memorably hit over the head by Mizuki with her hammer back in 2024 in a moment that went viral across the internet due to how photogenic it was. Andreza was left humiliated by what happened and Shin Nemuro felt that their reputation was tarnished over it too. Ever since that moment Andreza had been waiting on an opportunity to get his revenge. Thus Mizuki’s hammer got stolen and Andreza has challenged her to a singles match at Sumo Hall!

Wrestlers Should Be Treated Like Gacha, Judgement 2026 Updates, New Princess Title Belts

February 23, 2026

“URANO EN 3”, 24/02/2025
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi

1. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Ilusion
2. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Yasu Urano Vs Fuminori Abe
3. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ilusion Vs Ayato Yoshida
4. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Yasu Urano
5. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Fuminori Abe Vs Ayato Yoshida
6. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ilusion Vs Yasu Urano
7. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Fuminori Abe
8. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Yasu Urano Vs Ayato Yoshida
9. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ilusion Vs Fuminori Abe
10. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Ayato Yoshida

Each match will have a ten minute time limit. As best as I can tell, the winner of the one night round robin will be whoever has the highest score of total falls in all of their Iron Man matches combined. Given the show consists of ten Iron Man Matches that sounds like a nightmare to keep track of for one night.

The first two “URANO EN” events that Yasu Urano put together took place last year and were both Iron Man matches with Ikuto Hidaka and Akito respectively. The matches are on Minoru Fujita’s Youtube channel under the Live archive tab. I don’t think I’m going to follow this regularly unless BASARA continues to help promote it.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 28: BIG BEAT FROM BADSVILLE”, 24/02/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: Antonio Honda Vs Miyu Yamashita
2. Chie Koishikawa, Mr. Bueno & Mr. Malo Vs Dark King Ueki, Princess Ram & X (w/ Munek)
3. Special Single Match: Kota Sekifuda Vs HARASHIMA
4. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Yuta Oya

It seems that only Dark King Ueki knows who the new member of Ueki’s Magic Kingdom is. Neither Ram Kaichow nor Munetatsu Nakamura seem to know.

DDT “KO KO! YOKOHAMA BATTLE 2026”, 28/02/2026
Kanagawa Radiant Hall

1. Naomi Yoshimura & Hinata Kasai Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuni
2. Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda
3. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku Vs Daichi Kazato & Rukiya
4. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Shinya Aoki, Yukio Naya, Junta Miyawaki & Kazuma Sumi
5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Akito Vs KANON & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO)
6. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Yuki Ishida

We’re less than a week away from the DDT Extreme Title match and To-y hasn’t come up with the stipulation yet. He and Yuki Ishida have been arguing on Twitter about it.

Viento Maligno is now here as part of Strange Love Connection.

Another new unit seems to be appearing on the horizon. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku want to start a group built around the D GENERATIONS wrestlers. Does either Daichi Kazato or Rukiya want to join in?

GANBARE☆PRO “KINKI CHIHO NO ARU BASHO NI TSUITE 2026”, 01/03/2026
Osaka Hirano Community Hall

1. Sentaro Motoshima Vs Sora Fujikawa
2. Moeka Haruhi & Fairy Nihonbashi Vs Kyusei Ninja Ranmaru & Hibiscus Mii
3. Mizuki Watase & Shota Kawakami Vs Yuto Kikuchi & Violence Dragon
4. Shuichiro Katsumura, Tsuyoshi Okada & YuuRI Vs Keisuke Ishii, Tyson Maeguchi & PSYCHO
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) Vs Ken Ohka & Hiroaki Moriya

With Yuna Manase out of action, PSYCHO has been asked to fill in for her when Ganbare☆Pro heads over to Osaka.

BASARA “BASARA 301 ~UTAGE~”, 06/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Takeru Inoue Vs Fuminori Abe
2. Ryota Nakatsu & Isami Kodaka Vs FUMA & Seiya Morohashi
3. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Banana Senga (w/ Gouma Ryu) Vs SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken
4. Takumi Tsukamoto, Daiki Shimomura & Tatsuya Hanami Vs Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Yasu Urano
5. Union MAX Title – 3 Way Match: Shuji Ishikawa (c) Vs Daichi Kazato Vs Tsutomu Oosugi

A few returning faces will be at BASARA next month. Tatsuya Hanami had fun the last time he was here before the new year, it’s been a while since Gouma Ryu showed his face and Seiya Morohashi is back as well.

DDT “ICHIKABACHIKA 2026”, 11/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine

Over in New Japan recently Yota Tsuji ruffled some feathers by criticizing the company’s owners Bushiroad for treating the wrestlers as nothing more than just content for trading card and gacha games. Well Super Sasadango Machine wishes CyberAgent would be that way for the likes of him and Danshoku Dieno! They need to make a convincing argument so they’ve challenged MAO & KANON for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. If they win the belts they hope it will raise their power within DDT to start making some business demands and turn the company towards the TGC and gacha industries.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2026 ~29TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 22/03/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shunma Katsumata Return Match: MAO Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. Dramatic Dream Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kazuki Hirata (w/ John Robinson)
3. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Kazuma Sumi
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs KANON

This year’s D GENERATIONS CUP winner Kazuma Sumi has earned himself a DDT Universal Title shot. Daisuke Sasaki congratulated him with a kick to the balls. Sounds like something he would do.

It’s not Magnum TOKYO but we’re one step away from it. Kazuki Hirata is getting John Robinson, the DJ behind “TOKYO GO!” to perform the song live for his entrance!

Shunma Katsumata wants MAO to be his first opponent for his big return match. It’s a match MAO has wanted too because one of the reasons he left The 37KAMIINA was to become Katsumata’s opponent rather than his teammate.

His match hasn’t been announced yet but DDT’s newest signing Masami Inahata will debut on this show.

BASARA “BASARA 303 ~UTAGE~”, 27/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura (c) Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino

The team of Takumi Tsukamoto & Daiki Shimomura are taking on all comers looking to become the next Iron Fist Tag Team Champions. Next up for them is Aijin Tag, one of BASARA’s most established teams. Takato Nakano thinks Masato Kamino hasn’t been taking wrestling seriously lately so they need to lock in to become the champs again.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Hyper Misao & Super Sasadango Machine
2. International Princess Title: MIRAI (c) Vs Suzume
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

All three championships in Tokyo Joshi Pro are in the process of receiving new belt designs. The next generation belts for the Princess Of Princess Title, the Princess Tag Team Titles and the International Princess Title will all debut at Sumo Hall. It will be the third belt for the Princess Title while the other two championships are both getting redesigned for the first time.

DDT “CHANGE AGE 2026 ~TOBIKIRI ZENKAI POWER~”, 05/04/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs X & X

Some upcoming title matches are being planned for April because DDT is holding two Korakuen Hall shows within a fortnight that month before King Of DDT kicks off in May. The KO-D Tag Titles will be defended on the first Korakuen show.

DDT “DREAM LIGHTS ~HOW DO YOU LIKE DDT WEDNESDAY~”, 15/04/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs X
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs X

Then the second Korakuen gets a KO-D Openweight Title match as well as an Extreme Title match.

GANBARE☆PRO “A SCANNER DARKLY 2026” Results

February 22, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “A SCANNER DARKLY 2026”, 22/02/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
187 Fans

1. Reiya Igarashi defeated Sentaro Motoshima with a Fisherman Suplex (9:13).
2. 3 Way Match: Moeka Haruhi defeated Papillon Akemi and Hora-chan when Haruhi pinned Akemi with the Ojosama Clutch (8:23).
3. Takuya Wada & PSYCHO defeated Ken Ohka & Shota Kawakami when Wada submitted Kawakami with the Armbar (13:25).
4. Shuichiro Katsumura, Yuya Susumu & YuuRI defeated Akira Shoji, Tyson Maeguchi & Chanyota when Susumu submitted Maeguchi with the Crossface Lock (13:10).
5. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Keisuke Ishii & Choun Shiryu when Tomingaga pinned Shiryu with the Wine Hamon Overdrive (13:27).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase defeated Masaaki Mochizuki (c) with the Bare Elbow (18:10).
*Masaaki Mochizuki fails in V6. Mizuki Watase becomes the 10th Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Champion!

The reign of Masaaki Mochizuki has come to an end. Mizuki Watase is now a two time Spirit Of Ganbare World Champion! He took an early advantage when during a fight outside the ring, Mochizuki missed a kick and his leg made contact with the corner post. While that didn’t stop Mochizuki from throwing kicks, Watase taunted him by saying he will stand and take the blows until the leg breaks! Mochizuki went on to Middle Kick him 19 times before giving him the Twister but it only got him a two count. Watase went to use the Venetian but Mochizuki escaped and hit the Shin Saikyou High Kick. However Watase wasn’t knocked down by it and he hit back with an Elbow Strike followed by the Bare Elbow Strike, pinning Mochizuki down to the mat to get the pin and become champion again.

Watase was too beaten up to start talking immediately after the match so he allowed Mochizuki to speak first. Mochizuki said its been 10 months since his first match in Ganbare☆Pro and 6 months since he became the SOG Champion. He thanked the fans for cheering him on despite being an outsider and he values the enjoyable experience he’s had here. He though he would have held the SOG Title for the rest of his career but instead his mission ended today. He then wrapped the title belt around Watase and Watase thanked him for being a strong wall that made all of the GanPro wrestlers grow by fighting him. Watase told Michiyoshi Mishima he’s going to cause some trouble because he is booked for a death match in America this April (does he mean the Death Vegas Invitacional?) and he will bring the belt with him. But as long as he is here, GanPro will never die! All of the wrestlers celebrating him left the ring to end the show but Takuya Wada was the last one to get out. He made a signal to Watase that he wants to challenge him for the title.

Yuya Susumi returned to GanPro looking to get his singles match with Keisuke Ishii. He got the winning submission in his match then reappeared after Ishii’s match to confront him over the potential singles bout.

7. Kaisei Takechi 2nd Anniversary Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Kaisei Takechi

Earlier today DDT revealed the identity of Strange Love Connection’s newest member. A new mysterious looking luchador has emerged going by the name Viento Maligno. Not much is known about this newcomer other than he is nicknamed “EL TORBELLINO” and he claims he had been stripped of his identity one time before.

GANBARE☆PRO “A SCANNER DARKLY 2026”, 22/02/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Sentaro Motoshima Vs Reiya Igarashi
2. 3 Way Match: Moeka Haruhi Vs Papillon Akemi Vs Hora-chan
3. Takuya Wada & PSYCHO Vs Ken Ohka & Shota Kawakami
4. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Keisuke Ishii & Choun Shiryu
5. Shuichiro Katsumura, Yuya Susumu & YuuRI Vs Akira Shoji, Tyson Maeguchi & Chanyota
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Mizuki Watase

Yesterday Yuna Manase suffered an injury during training and it was later diagnosed as a fractured collarbone. She is out of action for the time being and Ganbare☆Pro quickly went to work in finding wrestlers to substitute for her already scheduled matches. On Sunday Chanyota has agreed to step in on short notice.

GANBARE☆PRO “KINKI CHIHO NO ARU BASHO NI TSUITE 2026”, 01/03/2026
Osaka Hirano Community Hall

5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) Vs Ken Ohka & Hiroaki Moriya

GanPro are currently finalizing their decision to alter the card for the Osaka show. It may be that Manase’s match gets changed entirely rather than just having someone take her place.

Ohka Wins TTT Gold, The IInspiration Coming To TJPW, Minimo-chan Is Training

February 18, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FINAL CURTAIN IN KOBE ART CENTER”, 21/02/2026
Kobe Art Center

1. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi Vs Pom Harajuku Vs Mahiro Kiryu
2. Haru Kazashiro Vs Shion Kanzaki
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Yuki Aino & Kira Summer
4. Shoko Nakajima & Chika Nanase Vs Yuki Arai & HIMAWARI
5. Aja Kong, Raku & Ren Konatsu Vs Hyper Misao, Mifu Ashida & Sara Phoenix
6. MIRAI & Toga Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
7. Miu Watanabe & Shino Suzuki Vs Mizuki & Uta Takami

This will be the final time Tokyo Joshi Pro comes to Kobe Art Center. The venue will be going under changes and the planned finished layout is considered to be unsuitable for holding wrestling shows according to Tetsuya Koda. So in the future TJPW will be looking for another venue in Kobe to host Mizuki’s homecoming shows. Somehow I don’t expect the Ring Soul bar to be among the options.

The International Princess Title scene gathers together for an important preview match. The current champion MIRAI is hanging around for a while and is teaming with her previous challenger Toga. On the other team is MIRAI’s next challenger Suzume along with her Daisy Monkey partner and former champion Arisu Endo.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “LOVE & FLAME ~ THE BURNING VENUS RETURNS”, 22/02/2026
Okayama Mirai Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Raku Vs HIMAWARI Vs Ren Konatsu
2. Pom Harajuku Vs Sara Phoenix
3. Wakana Uehara Vs Chika Nanase
4. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Shion Kanzaki
5. Hyper Misao & Shino Suzuki Vs Suzume & Mahiro Kiryu
6. Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Kira Summer Vs Yuki Arai, Toga & Mifu Ashida
7. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs Mizuki, Arisu Endo & Uta Takami

Yuki Aino doesn’t have to worry about a potential relocation for her homecoming shows though. She and the rest of the ToJo Tokusatsu Club will be headlining the event. Maybe they’ll get an update on their Super Sentai goal for Sumo Hall along the way.

GANBARE☆PRO “A SCANNER DARKLY 2026”, 22/02/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Sentaro Motoshima Vs Reiya Igarashi
2. 3 Way Match: Moeka Haruhi Vs Papillon Akemi Vs Hora-chan
3. Takuya Wada & PSYCHO Vs Ken Ohka & Shota Kawakami
4. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Keisuke Ishii & Choun Shiryu
5. Shuichiro Katsumura, Yuya Susumu & YuuRI Vs Yuna Manase, Akira Shoji & Tyson Maeguchi
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Mizuki Watase

Over the weekend Ken Ohka won gold over at Total Triumph Team. He beat his one time nemesis Guts Ishijima to win the TTT Indie Unified Openweight Title. Also I didn’t find out about this until around the same time but Mizuki Watase won the KING Of FREEDOM World Tag Team Titles with Jun Kasai back on 23rd January.

DDT “IKETA ZE! IMAIKE 2026”, 07/03/2026
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuki Ishida
2. Junta Miyawaki Vs Yuni
3. STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: MAO, KANON, Yukio Naya & X (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai

While Yuki Iino is away training for his American Football career, the still unknown new member of Strange Love Connection will take his place.

Junta Miyawaki continues to get in the ring with new faces during his stay in DDT. Next up for him is Yuni in a first time ever match up.

DDT “NANIWA FIGHTERS 2026”, 08/03/2026
Osaka 176BOX

1. Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida Vs Kazuki Hirata & Akito
2. Special Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Rukiya Vs Jun Akiyama & Yuni
3. Special Single Match: To-y Vs KANON

Since DDT is heading back to Osaka, that means Sanshiro Takagi & Rukiya get to reform their Toyonaka tag team. Due to injuries and other absences they haven’t been able to do this since 2024.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Hyper Misao & Super Sasadango Machine
2. International Princess Title: MIRAI (c) Vs Suzume
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

Well, Ober Eats said they wanted to face a tag team that are a big deal. They also said they want to have the best match on the show and er… yeah… it’s nice to want things. Anyway TJPW went and got The IInspiration to be Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara’s next challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles. The Australian pair of Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee were known as The IIconics in WWE before going to TNA with the name change. They won the women’s tag team championships in both companies and just recently signed a deal with AEW so they match the requirements Ober Eats were looking for.

The mascot Minimo-chan spent Monday training with Mahiro Kiryu for its upcoming pro wrestling debut. Super Sasadango Machine gave Minimo-chan the task of learning a special move but Kiryu was sceptical over the mascot’s ability to wrestle. Minimo-chan proved her wrong by running the ropes, doing Wrist Locks and even performing a Side Thrust Kick to the ribs with ease. It then told Kiryu that with this kick it will win its debut match in Sumo Hall! An interview was held after training where Minimo-chan revealed it used to watch All Japan VHS tapes over and over until they all wore out. Its favorite wrestlers are Steve Williams, Doug Furnas and Dan Kroffat. Minimo-chan also aims to eventually fight for a championship!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 18/04/2026
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi

How curious. The next TJPW Inspiration show will feature Rika Tatsumi, Mahiro Kiryu, Arisu Endo, Haru Kazashiro, Mifu Ashida, Kira Summer, Chika Nanase, Ren Konatsu and Shion Kanzaki on the card along with three guest wrestlers. While this is going on Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao, Yuki Aino and Toga will be in Las Vegas for Wrestlemania Weekend. Yamashita and Toga already have match bookings but the other three are so far only advertised for a meet and greet at WrestleCon. The mystery continues.
