TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 15/08/2020
Tokyo Kanda Myojin Hall
??? Fans

2. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Hikari Noa & Pom Harajuku when Kiryu pinned Harajuku with the Spinebuster (6:56).
3. Yuka Sakazaki & Raku defeated Mina Shirakawa & Himawari Unagi when Sakazaki submitted Unagi with an Omoplata (10:31).
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Mizuki defeated Yuki Aino with the Cutie Special (11:27).
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Maki Itoh defeated Miu Watanabe with the Flying Big Head (11:36).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Shoko Nakajima defeated Natsumi Maki with the Diving Senton (10:49).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Miyu Yamashita defeated Hyper Misao with the Crash Rabbit Heat (12:38).
An unnamed member of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster who was not at today’s show tested positive in a PCR exam for COVID-19. She is currently being treated and has no worrying symptoms to report at this time. For the entire roster’s safety, tomorrow’s show in Kanda Myojin Hall and the Itabashi Green Hall show on the 22nd have been cancelled. The person had not been in close contact with DDT wrestlers so today’s DDT show went ahead as scheduled as will tomorrow’s BOYZ show. However, Daisuke Kiso will not work those events because he was on the TJPW show.
Hyper Misao was so thankful for the fan support she got from beating Yuka Sakazaki last week. To prove how important the Tokyo Princess Cup is for her, she gathered together her most important weapons and emptied them in the ring to show Miyu Yamashita they will have a fair fight. Yamashita saw through her plan and blocked the attempted Cold Spray attack. However, Misao had a second can and froze her opponent for a nearfall. Misao used the spray again outside the ring and rolled Yamashita up in the ring apron. Yamashita avoided the countout and tackled Misao while still wrapped up in the apron. Misao used an exposed turnbuckle for another advantage but Yamashita kicked her away. She blocked the Vanitas, hit the Attitude Adjustment and won with the Crash Rabbit Heat. Could this finally be Yamashita’s year to win the tournament?
Meeting Yamashita in the semi-final will be Shoko Nakajima. Her win over Natsumi Maki means Maki will have to wait even longer for her next rematch with Yamashita. Nakajima did the Northern Lights Suplex but couldn’t hold on the bridge for the pin. She corrected that by doing a Double Arm DDT and then the Diving Senton for the victory.
Over on the other side of the bracket, Maki Itoh reached her career best in the tournament, advancing to the semi final over Miu Watanabe. Itoh blocked the Laserbeam strike with a Headbutt then hit the Flying Big Head. Rather than go for the pin, Itoh hit a second Flying Big Head to ensure Watanabe would not kick out.
Waiting for Itoh in the semi final is last year’s winner Mizuki. That means the former Itoh Respect Army explodes! Mizuki used an Avalanche Cutie Special on Yuki Aino but was too damaged to pin her straight away. Aino recovered and hit the Venus DDT. She went for the UBV but Mizuki countered it with a Casadora and a Double Stomp. She hit the standard Cutie Special to put Aino away.
The Tokyo Princess Cup semi final matches are Mizuki Vs Maki Itoh and Shoko Nakajima Vs Miyu Yamashita. They were supposed to take place tomorrow but they will have to be rescheduled over the sudden cancellation. Should everything be okay after testing then the next show on the calendar is the final itself on 29th August. They can easily do the semi finals and final on the same show if they have to.

Kotaro Yoshino was on that show and tested positive for COVID-19 afterwards. Asahi & Yamato both agreed to cancel their appearances at the BOYZ show because of this. Jun Masaoka has been brought in to take Asahi’s place in the main event. Yamato’s match has been changed from a tag bout to a 3 Way.

5. Street Fight 6-Man Tag Match: Atsushi Onita, Yuko Miyamoto & Rocky Kawamura Vs Takashi Sugiura, NOSAWA Rongai & Kaz Hayashi
Here’s something I learned about Atsushi Onita. He has a side business making coffee that involves importing coffee beans from Laos. The farm where he gets these beans from uses a robot called Mecha Pandita to cultivate the beans. When Onita found out about this robot he came up with an idea. He will bring this machine to Japan and modify it into a pro wrestling robot! Mecha Pandita is currently doing its job in the mountains of Kanzaki City and will be ready for Shunma Katsumata to fight soon.
DDT “DDT LIVE! ~SAYONARA TOSHIMAEN~ ATSUSHI ONITA IMMEDIATELY RETIRE IF YOU LOSE SP CURRENT BLAST ON THE STREET”, 27/08/2020
Tokyo Toshimaen
1. Street Current Blast Death Match: Atsushi Onita, Sanshiro Takagi & Chris Brookes Vs Shinya Aoki, Caol Uno & Konosuke Takeshita
Over the years, the Toshimaen theme park in Nerima, Tokyo was a venue DDT visited several times for Street Wrestling matches. Sadly, Toshimaen will close down at the end of this month after 94 years in business. When Sanshiro Takagi heard the news he asked to wrestle there one last time. They will literally send the place out with a bang because DDT is putting together a Current Blast Death Match!
Shinya Aoki is in the match because he used to live in Nerima and would visit Toshimaen many times. He was recently reminded of the place when his ex-wife sent him an angry message. He wants to do Team Aoki Vs Team Onita and if Onita loses, he has to retire for the 8th time in his career. Onita admitted he will continue wrestling after his 8th, 9th and 10th retirements so they need to include something else to fight over. Aoki suggested Takagi and CyberFight put 50 million yen on the line. Takagi doesn’t know where the money will come from but he agreed to it so the match can go ahead. Takagi & Onita will have Chris Brookes on their team. Aoki is bringing in Konosuke Takeshita and MMA fighter Caol Uno! Aoki said that Uno is frightened of wrestling in a Current Blast Death Match but he still has the skills necessary to win.
The press conference for the match was held out in Toshimaen but quickly fell apart when a torrential rainstorm soaked everybody.

Last year’s winner Mizuki faces the most recent Princess Title challenger Yuki Aino. The last remaining Up Up Girls member in the competition Miu Watanabe takes on Maki Itoh. Over on the other side of the bracket, Natsumi Maki and Shoko Nakajima promises to be frantic. Finally Miyu Yamashita’s meets the biggest reminder of her Princess Cup curse. Hyper Misao’s upset over Yamashita back in 2016 is what cemented this jinx in the first place. But did Misao use up all her luck knocking out Yuka Sakazaki?

6. King Of DDT 2020 – Final: X Vs X
The King Of DDT is down to Tetsuya Endo, Kazusada Higuchi, Akito and T-Hawk. The winner headlines “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020” at Ota Ward Gymnasium in November. Endo has different connections with the rest of the final four. He feuded with Higuchi throughout the DDT TV SHOW series earlier this year. He was beaten in the 1st Round by Akito but was rescued from elimination by winning the Dramatic Chance Battle Royal. And his partnership with T-Hawk is the origin of the DAMNHEARTS business alliance. Akito wants revenge on T-Hawk after he lost to him at “JUDGEMENT 2019” in Sumo Hall last February.

3. STREET FIGHT CLUB Special Match ~Royal Traditions Match~: Jun Akiyama Vs Yukio Naya
4. Street Fight 6-Man Tag Match: Atsushi Onita, Yuko Miyamoto & Rocky Kawamura Vs Takashi Sugiura, NOSAWA Rongai & Kaz Hayashi
Atsushi Onita got the toughest competition to fight his crew in the main event. Sugiura-gun from NOAH are entering the STREET FIGHT CLUB! Onita and Takashi Sugiura had a little death match feud half a decade ago that never really went anywhere. Might as well rekindle it because 2020 is weird enough to make it happen. There is also the two unusual joshi offshoots Gake no Fuchi Joshi and Pocchari Joshi getting paired against each other.
BASARA “BASARA 131 ~BANQUET~”, 25/08/2020
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
1. Union MAX Title: Fuminori Abe (c) Vs Daiki Shimomura
In the main event of the last BASARA show, Daiki Shimomura pinned Fuminori Abe to win the 8-Man Tag Team Elimination Match. That grants him a shot at the Union MAX Title. Abe quickly bounced back from that result two days later by winning the BJW Tag Team Titles with Takuya Nomura so he is now a double champion.

DDT “BLACK OUT PRESENTS KING OF DDT 2020 3RD ROUND”, 10/08/2020
Tokyo Kanda Myojin Hall
??? Fans
0. Under Match: Yukio Naya & Keigo Nakamura defeated Mizuki Watase & Hideki Okatani when Naya pinned Watase with a Power Bomb (6:27).
1. 4 Way Tag Match: Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai defeated Danshoku Dieno & Seigo Tachibana, Makoto Oishi & Kazuki Hirata and Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Iino when Sakaguchi pinned Hirata with the PK (5:18).
2. Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda defeated El Lindaman & Nobuhiro Shimatani when Brookes pinned Shimatani with the Praying Mantis Bomb (10:11).
3. DISASTER BOX Vs DAMNATION ~ Lucha Libre Rules: HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Naomi Yoshimura defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Mad Paulie when HARASHIMA pinned Paulie with the Somato (11:05).
4. King Of DDT 2020 – Quarter Final: T-Hawk defeated Yuki Ueno with the Nightride (13:23).
5. King Of DDT 2020 – Quarter Final: Akito defeated Shinya Aoki with the Goliath Birdwatching (8:24).
6. King Of DDT 2020 – Quarter Final: Tetsuya Endo defeated Minoru Tanaka with the Shooting Star Press (17:20).
7. King Of DDT 2020 – Quarter Final: Kazusada Higuchi defeated Konosuke Takeshita with the Buchikamashi (16:13).
The King Of DDT Quarter Finals are done and there are four wrestlers left. Kazusada Higuchi took a page out of his sumo rulebook to defeat Konosuke Takeshita. After an intense exchange of strikes, Higuchi ran into Takeshita and tackled him down with a Buchikamashi charge to pin him.
Minoru Tanaka’s late request for a KO-D Openweight Title shot was denied and his match with Tetsuya Endo was non-title as scheduled. Endo was able to rope break his way out of Tanaka’s submission holds. He got a nearfall with the Canadian Destroyer and had his arm raised after the Shooting Star Press. When Tanaka left the ring, Endo signaled for him to have a rematch some day. Tanaka admitted he learned the distance between himself and the KO-D Champion today. He was close but Endo is still strong. He accepts defeat today but won’t forget about the KO-D Title because Tanaka loves to win championships he never held before.
Up until today, Akito was using the Goliath Birdeater submission hold in its original form. Against Shinya Aoki, he modified the move into a clutch pin to hold Aoki down and prevent him from breaking free. It worked as intended and Akito got the pin. He calls this version of the move the Goliath Birdwatching. Akito had previously told Aoki that there are more ways to win pro wrestling matches than using joint holds. Today he proved it.
Last but certainly not least, T-Hawk completes the final four. The combination of Cerberus, BT Bomb and the Nightride ended Yuki Ueno’s tournament run. Not a good sign for the KO-D Tag Team Champions when one of them loses to a previous challenger.
The Semi Final draw took place after the main event. Endo and Higuchi drew each other which means Akito and T-Hawk takes the other match-up. T-Hawk promises to win King Of DDT as a representative of #STRONGHEARTS. Akito swore to avenge his loss to T-Hawk at Sumo Hall last February. He doesn’t care about Endo so he wants to face Higuchi in the final. What he said made Endo even more determined to chase after him, that and the Round 1 loss. Higuchi said he will go through who is left one by one, starting with Endo.
The DISASTER BOX Vs DAMNATION match was held under Lucha Libre rules when Mad Paulie of all people asked for it. Kazuki Hirata snuck into the match for a few spots during the chaos.
El Lindaman used cold spray to freeze Antonio Honda’s Gongitsune hand. He then summoned his own Gongitsune but Honda froze his hand with the cold spray. Honda poked Lindaman in the eye, a blinded Lindaman poked Nobuhiro Shimatani in the eye and Chris Brookes pinned Shimatani with the Praying Mantis Bomb.
Yukio Sakaguchi was tricked into doing the hop spot during the 4 Way Tag. Saki Akai was embarrassed over it.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 10/08/2020
Tokyo Kanda Myojin Hall
??? Fans
1. Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Haruna Neko defeated Maki Itoh, Raku & Himawari Unagi when Aino pinned Unagi with the Venus DDT (9:40).
2. 3 Way Match: Mizuki defeated Mirai Maiumi and Sena Shiori when Mizuki pinned Shiori with the Diving Foot Stomp (8:04).
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Natsumi Maki defeated Pom Harajuku with the Backlash (4:41).
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Shoko Nakajima defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Northern Lights Suplex (10:37).
5. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Suzume defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Mina Shirakawa & Moka Miyamoto when Tatsumi pinned Miyamoto with the Twist Of Fate (9:11).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Miyu Yamashita defeated Hikari Noa with the Skull Kick (10:22).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Hyper Misao defeated Yuka Sakazaki with La Magistral Cradle (15:42).
The Princess Of Princess Champion is eliminated! Yuka Sakazaki is out. And guess who got her out of the tournament? Hyper Misao of course! Before their match began, Misao talked about missing last year’s Tokyo Princess Cup and she was thinking about the last two years during Sakazaki’s entrance. She had a lot of tricks she wanted to use but never got around to them so she promised to fight fair and square. She emptied a bunch of stuff for Daisuke Kiso to clear out of the ring then she immediately blinded Sakazaki with cold spray behind the ref’s back. Misao continued the dirty tricks by taping Sakazaki’s feet to the post so she hung updside down outside the ring. When Sakazaki got freed she tried to suffocate Misao by covering her mouth and nose. She then pulled off a turnbuckle pad and hit Misao with it. Misao’s attempted to do the Vanitas but her leg was too damaged to complete the move. But she blocked the Magical Girl Splash and trapped Sakazaki in La Magistral Cradle for the three count!
Hikari Noa is aware of Miyu Yamashita’s poor record in the Princess Cup so she scoped out every opening to get a flash pin. She even used the Modified European Clutch (the Bridging Figure 4 looking thing) that’s becoming popular for a nearfall. She also used a Thrust Kick that Natsumi Maki taught her. While Yamashita was still on her back, she used her legs to push Noa off her. When she got up she caught Noa off guard and hit the Skull Kick to win. After wrestling both Raku and Noa back to back, Yamashita believes The Up Up Girls are getting stronger. Now she has to face Misao in the next round and that brings back some angry memories for Yamashita.
Somebody who usually has a good record in the Princess Cup is Shoko Nakajima. The last two years were off because she got eliminated in the 2nd Round both times. This year is an improvement thanks to her advancing over Mahiro Kiryu. Nakajima kicked out of the Spinebuster and won with the Northern Lights Suplex. Kiryu is still pleased with her first Princess Cup performance. When asked if she thinks she has grown during it, Kiryu answered she’s grown about 5mm.
You can never trust Pom Harajuku under any circumstances. Natsumi Maki found that out the hard way when they went for a handshake. Harajuku snuck in a Sneaker Kick and pelted Maki with more Sneaker Kicks in the early going. Her attacks grew bigger building up to a Missile Dropkick. Natsumi took the brunt of the offence long enough to pin her opponent with the Backlash. She then hit Harajuku in the knee for payback after the match.
The Quarter Final matches are now set. Natsumi Maki Vs Shoko Nakajima and Miyu Yamashita Vs Hyper Misao joins Mizuki Vs Yuki Aino and Miu Watanabe Vs Maki Itoh on 15th August.

DDT “BLACK OUT PRESENTS KING OF DDT 2020 2ND ROUND”, 09/08/2020
Tokyo Kanda Myojin Hall
??? Fans
1. Loser Revival Battle Royal “Dramatic Chance”: Tetsuya Endo defeated Chris Brookes by Ring Out (16:31).
Order Of Elimination: Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Mizuki Watase, Yukio Sakaguchi, Yukio Naya, Mad Paulie, Naomi Yoshimura, Yuki Iino, Seigo Tachibana, Soma Takao, Antonio Honda, Nobuhiro Shimatani, Kazuki Hirata and Chris Brookes.
2. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 2: T-Hawk defeated Makoto Oishi with a Fujiyama Knee Lock Cut Back (11:00).
3. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 2: Yuki Ueno defeated Danshoku Dieno with the BME (10:18).
4. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 2: Akito defeated Toru Owashi with the Goliath Birdeater (5:33).
5. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 2: Shinya Aoki defeated Daisuke Sasaki with a Tekubikatame (7:46).
6. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 2: Minoru Tanaka defeated Shunma Katsumata with the Tanaka Legbar (11:52).
7. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 2: Konosuke Takeshita defeated El Lindaman with the German Suplex (13:54).
8. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 2: Kazusada Higuchi defeated HARASHIMA with the Doctor Bomb (13:47).
Could this be Kazusada Higuchi’s year? He defeated HARASHIMA pretty soundly in the main event and that’s a man who was always a big wall for him to climb over. The match came down to a striking battle between Higuchi’s Chops and HARASHIMA’s kicks. Higuchi switched to Headbutts with three in a row leaving his opponent defenceless. The Doctor Bomb got him the pin afterwards. Higuchi credits the Head To Head positioning for his wins over HARASHIMA and Mizuki Watase this weekend. It brings him back to his sumo roots and that is where his Headbutt power comes from.
Konosuke Takeshita versus El Lindaman was the battle of German Suplexes. Lindaman’s goal was to do that move to his larger opponent which led to Takeshita taunting him when he couldn’t do it. He was eventually able to hit the move but Takeshita kicked out of the pin. In return Takeshita went for the move, Lindaman rolled throught it but Takeshita rolled him back and swung him into the German Suplex to win the match. Takeshita identifies with Lindaman the most out of all the #STRONGHEARTS members. Maybe it’s because of the different style and physique but he can sense some kind of similarity between them.
Shunma Katsumata used up all his luck against Yukio Sakaguchi yesterday. He attempted to out-wrestle Minoru Tanaka which is probably not the smartest idea. Tanaka would tangle him into a Figure 4 Leglock and turn it into a Legbar for the submission victory. After the match Tanaka called out Tetsuya Endo, his opponent in the next round. Tanaka has won a lot of championships in different companies but not any here in DDT. So he is really looking forward to wrestling Endo tomorrow. In his backstage interview, Tanaka even demanded the KO-D Openweight Title be put on the line tomorrow! Endo likes the idea but it is up to DDT to grant his request.
MMA gloves. That is what Daisuke Sasaki thought he needed to go toe to toe with Shinya Aoki. He grappled with Aoki for a few minutes but when it became clear it wasn’t working, Sasaki brought in a chair to use as a weapon while Nobuhiro Shimatani distracted the referee. Sasaki went back to MMA mode with Mounted Punches to soften Aoki up for the Crossface Lock. The Sasaki Hurricanrana was countered into a Power Bomb and Aoki applied a Grounded Wristlock for the tapout. Aoki said afterwards that it was a strange match where he and Sasaki somehow both meshed together and did not mesh together.
The CyberFight Vice President looks unbeatable now! Akito attacked Toru Owashi and quickly targeted the legs. Confident, Akito told Owashi he is not scared of him now. He used to be scared of Owashi when he was in T2P but he doesn’t exist anymore. This fired up Owashi and he did the Running Nodowa Otoshi. But in the end Akito escaped from a Power Bomb and countered La Magistral Cradle into the Goliath Birdeater submission hold. Owashi eventually gave up. He also remembers seeing that move before. That was originally Taku Iwasa’s submission hold! Akito really knows his Toryumon history. He admits to being an Iwasa fan which is why he does the Goliath Birdeater with no modifications.
A warning was sent out that Danshoku Dieno is once again in a frustrated modd due to social distancing limiting his antics. Yuki Ueno in particular was told to watch out. Dieno used the Danshoku Nightmare 4K, the Lip Lock, the Gaydo Clutch and the Danshoku Driver but Ueno kept fighting back. Ueno stood up to Dieno by pulling off his own wrestling tights and getting into a Lip Lock duel. Ueno overpowered Dieno with the move until Dieno was weak enough to take the Blizzard Suplex. Ueno then finished him off with the BME. Dieno says it’s a little scary how the feelings he gets wrestling Ueno are like the ones he got from wrestling Kota Ibushi. He never thought he would feel something that special again. Ueno sees the funny side. If somebody asks him how his match went today he can tell them he took his tights off.
Makoto Oishi was left rattled over today’s result. Yesterday he beat the DDT UNIVERSAL Champion with the Fujiyama Knee Lock but today the move was scouted. T-Hawk used Oishi’s momentum against him and rolled the move over into a pin for the three count. T-Hawk is studying every opponent he is coming up against so he is gaining more experience with every win.
Endo got inserted back into the tournament straight into the Quarter Finals by winning the Loser Revival Battle Royal. Every wrestler who was eliminated in Round 1 was entered into the match. Endo won by last eliminated Chris Brookes with a Candian Destroyer on the ring apron. Endo kept himself on the ring apron while Brookes fell to the floor below. Endo said he is now carrying the souls of all the eliminated wrestlers for reviving his tournament run.
The King Of DDT Quarter Finals tomorrow will be Yuki Ueno Vs T-Hawk, Shinya Aoki Vs Akito, Tetsuya Endo Vs Minoru Tanaka and Kazusada Higuchi Vs Konosuke Takeshita.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 09/08/2020
Tokyo Kanda Myojin Hall
??? Fans
1. Miyu Yamashita, Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Natsumi Maki, Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori when Harajuku pinned Shiori with the Pom Do Justice (9:31).
2. 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Nodoka Tenma and Haruna Neko when Nakajima pinned Neko with the Northern Lights Suplex (5:52).
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Mizuki defeated Suzume with the Cutie Special (7:46).
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Maki Itoh defeated Yuki Kamifuku with the Itoh Deluxe (7:32).
5. Yuka Sakazaki, Mina Shirakawa & Moka Miyamoto defeated Hyper Misao, Raku & Himawari Unagi when Sakazaki pinned Unagi with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (9:27).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Miu Watanabe defeated Mirai Maiumi with the Tear Drop (9:20).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Yuki Aino defeated Rika Tatsumi with the UBV (13:36).
Round 2 is bigger than Round 1 so half the field wrestled their matches today with the other half getting ready for tomorrow. Yuki Aino leads the charge into the Quarter Finals, beating Rika Tatsumi in the main event. Her new UBV finisher is being polished, looking more like a big drop to the canvas rather than just a Double Arm Suplex. Aino has become so absorbed in her matches recently that she becomes very happy over winning the matches that are important to her. This is one because Aino has known Tatsumi ever since Aino was a ring announcer.
At least one of the Princess Tag Team Champions is still in the tournament. Miu Watanabe beat Mirai Maiumi but still felt the love and feelings for pro wrestling from her opponent. Maiumi blocked the Laserbeam and put Watanabe in a Chickenwing Armlock until the rope was grabbed. Watanabe got to hit the Laserbeam and won with the Tear Drop.
Friends has to become enemies when Maki Itoh and Yuki Kamifuku faced off. Itoh’s Headbutt was the difference maker and it led to the Itoh Deluxe finish. Itoh is happy to advance past the 2nd Round for the first time. From here on she’s in a world she’s never been in before. She says she will calm down and aim for victory.
Last year’s Tokyo Princess Cup winner Mizuki was prepared for what Suzume threw at her. Suzume spent most of the match fighting from beneath looking for chances to flash pin Mizuki. Her last chance was countering the Cutie Special into a Front Sleeper. Unfortunately for her, Mizuki managed to hit her finisher for the three count. Mizuki gives Suzume credit for putting her in several dangerous situations causing her to never leave her guard open.
After today’s show there are two Quarter Finals currently filled. Mizuki Vs Yuki Aino and Miu Watanabe Vs Maki Itoh will happen on 15th August. The other two Quarter Finals will be determined on tomorrow’s show.

DDT “BLACK OUT PRESENTS KING OF DDT 2020 1ST ROUND”, 08/08/2020
Tokyo Kanda Myojin Hall
??? Fans
1. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 1: El Lindaman defeated Yukio Naya with a Cradle (10:17).
2. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 1: Toru Owashi defeated Seigo Tachibana with the Nodowa Otoshi (4:31).
3. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 1: Danshoku Dieno defeated Antonio Honda with two Moonsaults (2:57).
4. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 1: Kazusada Higuchi defeated Mizuki Watase with a Short Range Lariat (3:37).
5. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 1: Yuki Ueno defeated Nobuhiro Shimatani with the BME (10:11).
6. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 1: Daisuke Sasaki defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Crossface Lock (6:51).
7. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 1: Shunma Katsumata defeated Yukio Sakaguchi with a Cradle (3:46).
8. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 1: HARASHIMA defeated Mad Paulie with the Somato (11:19).
9. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 1: Shinya Aoki defeated Yuki Iino with an Armpit Lock (0:36).
10. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 1: Makoto Oishi defeated Chris Brookes with the Fujiyama Knee Lock (8:41).
11. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 1: T-Hawk defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Nightride (7:45).
12. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 1: Minoru Tanaka defeated Soma Takao with the Minoru Special (8:30).
13. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 1: Konosuke Takeshita defeated Naomi Yoshimura with the German Suplex (8:07).
14. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 1: Akito defeated Tetsuya Endo with the Goliath Birdeater (17:21).
The KO-D Openweight Champion is out in the 1st Round! Akito scored what is no doubt the biggest upset of the 2020 King Of DDT by beating Tetsuya Endo. Akito targeted Endo’s arm but switched to the legs in reaction to his opponent going for his own. The arm work paid off when Akito grabbed Endo’s wrist to free himself from the Swivel Torture Rack Bomb. He shifted over to an Anklelock and when Endo tried to escape, Akito turned it into the Goliath Birdeater. With no chance of escaping the hold, Endo gave up. Akito said he can’t be as acrobatic as Endo but with his own pro wrestling style, the new CyberFight Vice President can make it to the top of DDT for a long time!
Naomi Yoshimura surprised everyone by showing off his freshly shaved head. It was the latest dramatic turn in his lifelong rivalry with Konosuke Takeshita. Sadly for him the rivalry continues to be one sided. Takeshita beat him again, this time with the German Suplex.
The visiting Minoru Tanaka is entering the tournament in his best condition. He took everything Soma Takao threw at him from the Running Elbow Butt to the Official Endless Waltz. Takao couldn’t do the same, he tapped to the Minoru Special.
Kazuki Hirata wanted T-Hawk to shake his hand before their match because Hirata claims to be Hawk’s former senpai. Apparently there was a brief window of a few months where both of them trained in Kobe at the same time. It’s safe to say T-Hawk has surpassed Hirata.
There were a few Round 1 upsets today. The DDT UNIVERSAL Champion lost his match too! Chris Brookes gave up to Makoto Oishi when the Praying Mantis Bomb was countered into a Complete Shot. Oishi then applied the Fujiyama Knee Lock for the submission victory.
36 seconds is the time to beat for the quickest match of the tournament. Yuki Iino quickly Speared Shinya Aoki and hit an Elbow Drop. Aoki scrambled out of the pin and caught Iino in an Armpit Lock for the quick submission.
HARASHIMA thinks he was a little off today despite beating Mad Paulie. He managed to keep his pace but still felt he rushed his attacks against Paulie.
Another upset was Shunma Katsumata over Yukio Sakaguchi. Katsumata went for roll ups and cradles throughout the match. He got his three count eventually, rolling up Sakaguchi from the Sleeper Hold position.
DAMNATION is already having a bad tournament. Only Daisuke Sasaki won his 1st Round match with a victory over Tomomitsu Matsunaga. If you count DAMNHEARTS things are looking better though.
An even pace from both Yuki Ueno and Nobuhiro Shimatani kept them on their toes. Ueno kicked out of the Fisherman Buster and used a Dropkick to turn the match in his favour. A Blizzard Suplex and the Best Moonsault Ever got Ueno the win.
A Headbutt and a Lariat gave Kazusada Higuchi the win over Mizuki Watase. That’s all you need to know. That’s not meant to disparage Watase, it was that big of a Headbutt and a Lariat from Higuchi.
Antonio Honda already tripped into the ring before the match began to set up his Gongitsune spot. He and Danshoku Dieno wasted no time in finding a winner. They immediately went for the big moves and Dieno won with two Moonsaults.
The bad attitude of Seigo Tachibana didn’t intimidate Toru Owashi at all. He fought him face to face, eye to eye and crouch to crouch. Tachibana was tough enough to kick out after most of Owashi’s big attacks but he was down for good when he was given the Choke Slam.
The complaints of Yukio Naya not fighting like a big man was proven when the big boy was lifted off his feet by El Lindaman. Some cheating from Lindaman went a long way too. He blinded Naya with cold spray, used tape to wrap his limbs together and rolled him into a pin for the three count.
The 2nd Round matches are T-Hawk Vs Makoto Oishi, Yuki Ueno Vs Danshoku Dieno, Toru Owashi Vs Akito, Daisuke Sasaki Vs Shinya Aoki, Shunma Katsumata Vs Minoru Tanaka, El Lindaman Vs Konosuke Takeshita, HARASHIMA Vs Kazusada Higuchi. There is also the Loser Revival Battle Royal featuring all of the losers from Round 1 in an all or nothing chance to get into the Quarter Final.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 08/08/2020
Tokyo Kanda Myojin Hall
??? Fans
1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Suzume defeated Haruna Neko with the Diving Body Attack (6:06).
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Maki Itoh defeated Himawari Unagi with the Itoh Deluxe (5:45).
3. 2 Vs 3 Handicap Match: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Mirai Maiumi, Sena Shiori & Moka Miyamoto when Misao submitted Shiori with a Body Squeeze Chickenwing Facelock (10:38).
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Natsumi Maki defeated Mina Shirakawa with the Backlash (7:43).
5. Mizuki, Yuki Aino, Yuki Kamifuku & Makoto Shiryu defeated Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe, Hikari Noa & Pom Harajuku when Mizuki pinned Harajuku with the Diving Foot Stomp (11:37).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Miyu Yamashita defeated Raku with the Attitude Adjustment (8:19).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Nodoka Tenma with the Magical Girl Niwatori Yaro (14:18).
In just over two weeks Yuka Sakazaki has beaten both of The Bakuretsu Sisters in singles matches with her new Magical Girl 450 Splash. Sakazaki said the fans may have expected a 1st Round upset today but it didn’t happen here against Nodoka Tenma. Sakazaki has never won the Tokyo Princess Cup and she is extra motivated to end that streak as the reigning Princess Of Princess Champion. She faces Hyper Misao in the next round but doesn’t know which Misao to expect.
The Princess Cup has been Miyu Yamashita’s achilles heel for the entire existence of Tokyo Joshi Pro. This year she got off on the right foot avoiding the potential upset of all upsets against Raku. Yamashita has another Up Up Girl facing her in Round 2, Hikari Noa.
Natsumi Maki showed up wearing the wrestling costume Kairi Sane gifted to her before she left for WWE. The timing of that, eh? She swears she only wore it because she wanted something pink to match with Mina Shirakawa in the ring. Maki faces Pom Harajuku in the next round.
Today wasn’t a big deal for Maki Itoh. If you ask her she simply beat Himawari Unagi because she wanted it more. This year is different for Itoh. She wanted to win back the International Princess Title and make it the most important championship in TJPW. That can’t happen because it is stuck in America with Thunder Rosa. So Itoh will chase after Sakazaki and the Princess Title instead. Yuki Kamifuku is Itoh’s 2nd Round opponent.
The closest thing to an upset today was Suzume beating Haruna Neko in the opener. Maybe it is an upset but eh, I don’t see it that way. She didn’t even think she would be in the tournament this year. Suzume faces Mizuki in the next round. Now that would be an upset if Suzume wins.

13. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 1N: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Naomi Yoshimura
14. King Of DDT 2020 – Round 1H: Tetsuya Endo Vs Akito
Some of the wrestlers have commented on the King Of DDT tournament in the lead up to Round 1. Yukio Sakaguchi simply said “we’ll do it this Summer.” Shunma Katsumata feels like there is a big wave coming for him. Soma Takao is looking forward to facing Minoru Tanaka and also wants to take on his allies in DAMNHEARTS on route to becoming a champion in his hometown. Tanaka believes he will win and beat DDT’s best without any reservations. HARASHIMA is going to blow the cobwebs away in this blazingly hot summer tournament. Mad Paulie’s grunts were translated into “Hey, Mad Paulie! Kill HARASHIMA! I’m going to win! Cheer for me!” Kazusada Higuchi will fight for himself, win or lose. Mizuki Watase would rather have a discussion with Higuchi instead of fighting him. Yukio Naya wants to win the first tournament he enters. El Lindaman can’t do the math on how many wrestlers are in this thing so he will just have to deal with them one by one. Naomi Yoshimura’s short term goal is to beat Konosuke Takeshita. Last year Takeshita broke his nose in the semi-final. He doesn’t like the fact he looks like a different person in his photos after he won the final. He wants to win with a more dignified looking face so everyone will recognise him.
DDT “BON DEMONE, ATASHA KAMISAMADA YO 2020”, 15/08/2020

1. Team Big Old Men Vs Young Dramatics: Jun Akiyama & Sanshiro Takagi Vs Keigo Nakamura & Hideki Okatani
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura (c) Vs MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba
Past versus present and old versus young are the themes for the two matches listed above. The Suicide Boyz made their return to DDT and got a team win over Yuki Ueno. They now get a KO-D Tag Team Titles shot because of it. Both MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba have held the titles multiple times but only twice together.
Meanwhile Jun Akiyama & Sanshiro Takagi have become kindred spirits because of their similar age and agreed to team together to put the young ones in their place. Keigo Nakamura has stubbornly tried to match up with Akiyama while Hideki Okatani has been soaking all of his coach’s teachings like a sponge.

1. STREET FIGHT CLUB Special Match ~Royal Traditions Match~: Jun Akiyama Vs Yukio Naya
Earlier in the week Yukio Naya was getting criticisms from Jun Akiyama for not wrestling like a man his size should. Atsushi Onita wants to see Akiyama prove his point in the ring so he made a request to book Akiyama Vs Naya on his own show. Takagi told him to go ahead. Naya is eager to learn directly from Akiyama this way.
DDT “GET ALIVE 2020”, 07/09/2020
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

2. DDT UNIVERSAL Title – No DQ Match: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Drew Parker
Chris Brookes and Drew Parker got to wrestle each other in a Falls Count Anywhere tag match at Gake no Fuchi Joshi last weekend. Parker’s team won but Brookes wants to get his win back in a similar match. Their DDT UNIVERSAL Title match is now No DQ. This might be a mistake by the champion because the only times Parker has beaten him in their careers were in death matches.
