Return To Twin Box, Brookes Produce Show 2, Amateur Vs Outsider

January 26, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW PPV SHOW 2 ~STARTING POINT~”, 30/01/2021
Twin Box AKIHABARA

1. The HERO Has Come To Protect The Peace Of Akihabara!: Shin Ultra Shoko & Hyper Misao Vs Sena Shiori & Arisu Endo
2. Yamato Nadeshiko Challenges The Charisma Of A New Era!: Maki Itoh Vs Moka Miyamoto
3. Majirabi Warning For Live Music Venues!: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki Vs Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu
4. Paripi Vs Gal Single Match: Yuki Kamifuku Vs Marika Kobashi
5. Bakuretsu Neko-chan Vs Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling): Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Haruna Neko Vs Miu Watanabe, Hikari Noa & Raku
6. The Past, Present & Future Of Tokyo Joshi Pro Cross On The Mat!: Rika Tatsumi & Suzume Vs Miyu Yamashita & Mirai Maiumi

Miyu Yamashita visited Twin Box AKIHABARA during the week to rediscover her memories of the venue when Tokyo Joshi Pro held their first shows their eight years ago. Back then TJPW only consisted of three girls including Yamashita training to be pro wrestlers. This Saturday’s PPV will have 22 women involved. That is a roster over seven times bigger having a show in the same venue! Yamashita thinks it will be good for the rookies like Moka Miyamoto and Sena Shiori to experience mat wrestling. She hopes everyone will feel the history of TJPW in the building as the show goes on.

Yamashita admits she doesn’t remember much about the first show and her memories of those days might be mixed up with the shows that were held in Shibuya DESEO. She didn’t feel uncomfortable wrestling on a padded mat because her training was done on mats too. It only made her excited to wrestling inside a ring as soon as possible. She is more experienced now in fighting outside the ring so she is excited to see what she can do at the PPV this Saturday. The only worry she has is if Yuka Sakazaki does a high flying move from a strange place and accidentally breaks some equipment.

DDT “CHRIS BROOKES PRODUCE SHOW 2 – WRESTLE BUTOKAN★DREAM”, 07/02/2021
Saitama Wrestle Butokan

1. Chris Brookes & Miyu Yamashita Vs Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata
2. Konosuke Takeshita Vs Baliyan Akki
3. ROBOT Vs HERO: Mecha Mummy Vs Hyper Misao

Last year Chris Brookes booked his own little DDT show for a worldwide audience. That went down a treat so he’s doing it again this year! Brookes and his opponent back then Yamashita are this time joining forces to fight Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata from the DDT Sauna Club. A returning Baliyan Akki is coming over from Gatoh Move to challenge Konosuke Takeshita in a first time singles match. Then it’s the blockbuster battle of the summer. Hyper Misao takes on the greatest threat to peace and love yet. It’s the return of the Mecha Mummy! A special talk show with some of the participants will be held after the show so Mr. HAKU will have a busy day ahead of him.

GANBARE☆PRO “OVER THE TOP 2021”, 07/02/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Katsuzaki Shunosuke, Moehiko Harumisawa & Shu Sakurai (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii, Kouki Iwasaki & HARUKAZE
2. Ganpro Vs Aka Rangers Full-Scale Battle: Ken Ohka & Shota Vs Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO
3. The Strongest Amateur Vs The Strongest Outside Enemy: Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Ikuto Hidaka

Is there anyone from Ganbare☆Pro who can beat Ikuto Hidaka? Maybe it will take a wrestler who isn’t signed to Ganpro to do that. Nobody is prouder of their student wrestling roots than Shinichiro Tominaga. Still, Hidaka is getting used to fighting the Ganpro spirit and senses it coming from his upcoming opponent.

The Aka Rangers of Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO were one of the early tag teams of note in DDT. When Ken Ohka was nothing more than a rookie, he got to second the team to ringside and always wanted to wrestle them. Sadly the opportunity never came. Almost 20 years later Ohka finally gets to achieve his dream and he is bringing in a white hot Shota along for the ride.

Ohka wanted to give a present to celebrate Keisuke Ishii’s birthday the day before the show as well as Kouki Iwasaki’s recent marriage. He offered them a GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles match against THE HALFEE but they needed a third partner. HARUKAZE also has a birthday that week so she was chosen to complete the team.

BASARA “BASARA 150 ~KINKON ICHIBAN~”, 25/02/2021
Shinjuku FACE

1. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Yasu Urano

The double champion Takumi Tsukamoto is trying to rest whenever he can but the title defences are coming quick and fast. Just under a week after his next BJW Death Match Title defence, Tsukamoto will put the Union MAX Title on the line against an impatient Yasu Urano. The challenger has been acting greedy on the indies lately with demands for instant title matches as well as forcing wagers onto his opponents to make his matches more worthwhile. Tsukamoto accepted his challenge but wanted it for a big show like BASARA’s 150th chapter at Shinjuku FACE.

GANBARE☆PRO “LAST ACTION HERO 2021” Results

January 24, 2021

GANBARE☆PRO “LAST ACTION HERO 2021”, 24/01/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
95 Fans

1. Special Tag Match ~Ganpro Alumni Association~: Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari defeated GENTARO & Chikara when Ohka pinned Chikara with the Fire Spear (9:27).
2. Ganpro 6 Men & Women Winter Story: Moeka Haruhi, Yuna Manase & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Ayumi Hayashi, HARUKAZE & Hagane Shinno when Haruhi submitted HARUKAZE with the 79.5MHz (12:01).
3. Shu Sakurai Trial Tag Match: Kouki Iwasaki & Daisuke Kanehira defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shu Sakurai when Iwasaki submitted Sakurai with a Texas Clover Hold (12:30).
4. Age Is Just A Number! 44 Year Old Vs 48 Year Old Full Scale Battle!: Ikuto Hidaka defeated Shuichiro Katsumura with the Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex (17:09).
5. Cabellera Contra No Apesta: Shota defeated Yasu Urano with a Frog Splash (20:41).

In a match where only Shota had something to lose, he had to fight as if he was defending the championship he no longer has. Yasu Urano brought electric clippers with him to the ring and even shaved off a piece of Shota’s hair during the match. Urano tried to win by countout by leaving him for dead outside the ring but broke the count to attack him more. Urano even attacked Keigo Nakamura who was only doing his ringside duties. This led to Ken Ohka getting involved in the match but Urano hit him too then used Daisuke Kiso as a human shield to deflect Shota. Shota eventually got his own back by hitting a Topé Suicida. He missed a Frog Splash and Urano did his own. Shota avoided being pinned and used a Gannosuke Clutch to take back momentum. Shota was able to hit the Frog Splash a second time to get the three count.

Urano approached Shota to shake his hand after the match but he then tried to steal the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title belt. Urano tried to start fights with Shota, Moeka Haruhi and Yumehito Imanari before finally leaving. Shota said the indie world cannot take their eyes off his every move. His self-esteem feels a little wounded but his hair will grow back, he still has a championship and he found a new goal to accomplish. He is going to become the main character of independent wrestling in time for Ganbare☆Pro’s return to Korakuen Hall on 7th April!

Ohka suggested that Keisuke Ishii and Kouki Iwasaki should challenged for the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles on 7th February. Ishii is celebrating his birthday they day before and Iwasaki recently got married so that is a way for them to celebrate it. They need a third partner though. HARUKAZE said she will join their team because her birthday is the day before Ishii’s. She also has a lot of experience wrestling against THE HALFEE so she wants to finally beat them.

Ikuto Hidaka’s winning streak in Ganpro went up a notch with a win over Shuichiro Katsumura. His matches are getting more difficult because this time he needed to use the Japanese Ocean Cyclone to win. He used the move knowing that Katsumura never anticipated it. Shinichiro Tomainaga introduced himself to Hidaka afterwards, calling him an amateur pro wrestler from CWP (Come On Wrestling Party). He does not represent Ganpro, he is not even on the show poster. But he is still upset to see his friends lose so he challenged Hidaka to a match. Hidaka accepted and told Tominaga they will both fight with pride. Even though Tominaga is not officially with Ganpro, Hidaka senses he has the soul of Ganpro within him.

Ohka told GENTARO that the next Ganpro show on 7th February is a Kitazawa Town Hall. They’ve known each other for 25 years and Ohka wanted to know what GENTARO thinks of when he hears that venue? GENTARO says it reminds him of DDT. Ohka agrees because that was where he was a ringside attendant for GENTARO & Takashi Sasaki when they were the Aka Rangers. He was never able to wrestle the Aka Rangers back then which is why he wants to wrestle them now! Ohka will find a tag partner to take on GENTARO & Sasaki on 7th February.

GANBARE☆PRO “BATTLE RUNNER 2021” Results

January 17, 2021

GANBARE☆PRO “BATTLE RUNNER 2021”, 17/01/2021
Osaka Hirano Kumin Hall
112 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Woman In Osaka Castle ~Ganjo Special Tag Match~: SAKI & Haruka Aikawa defeated HARUKAZE & Momoka Hanazono when SAKI pinned HARUKAZE with a Brainbuster (14:35).
2. Ganpro East-West Battle 2021!: Tsuyoshi Okada & Kota Umeda defeated Shinichiro Tominaga & Kouki Iwasaki when Iwasaki Umeda pinned Tominaga with the Umeda Driver (9:24).
3. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles – Ganpro Osaka Winter Team! THE HALFEE Vs Pocchari Joshi East-West Allied Forces Full Scale Battle!: Katsuzaki Shunosuke, Moehiko Harumisawa defeated Kuuga, Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase when Shunosuke submitted Manase with the Jumping Cross Armbreaker (9:37).
*V2 for THE HALFEE.
4. Battle Without Honor ~Father Of 2 Children At Home Vs Father Of 2 Children With Child Support~: Ken Ohka defeated Shoichi Uchida with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (14:15).
5. Ganpro Sanada Maru! Team Drift Vs Team MAKAI Special Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Shota & Asuka when Ishii pinned Shota with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (19:07).

For the first time in a year Ganbare☆Pro was back in Osaka. Shota was in a hard fought match today teaming with Asuka against Team Drift. Asuka was taken out by Shigehiro Irie’s Beast Bomber, leaving Shota to fight Keisuke Ishii. Shota countered the High Angle Double Arm DDT into the Gannosuke Clutch but only got a nearfall out of it. Ishii cut off Shota with a Running Knee and pinned him with the Double Arm DDT. Ishii said he didn’t want to be left behind because the other three wrestlers have a lot of momentum behind them. For him it was a stubborn match and a stubborn victory. Shota is finding himself in a rut since losing the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title during the week. He hasn’t won a match since then and now he has to figure out what to do against Yasu Urano now that there is no championship at stake.

The battle of the dads began with Shoichi Uchida trying to start a “Child Support” chant. He doesn’t have a good history with marriage (twice divorced and four kids in total) which makes him mad when he sees other wrestlers with happy families, like Ken Ohka. The two of them argued over their opinions about marriage as the match turned more into a No DQ brawl with chairs involved. Uchida was motivated enough to kick out of the Fire Spear at one but Ohka finished him off with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Ohka shouted at Uchida “Why didn’t you show that passion when you were married?” while he pinned him.

Yuna Manase wanted the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles put on the line at the last minute. THE HALFEE turned her down until Yumehito Imanari handed out pWo (Pocchari World Order) shirts to his tag partners to show they are a unit. Kuuga was given an S sized shirt which he hated so he walked off. He came back when Manase took out an XL shirt for him. THE HALFEE agreed to defend the titles and came out on top. Katsuzaki Shunosuke said the teamwork they’ve been doing for over a year wasn’t going to lost against a brand new team. Shu Sakurai wants to defend the trios title all the time in 2021 and end the year with THE HALFEE appearing in the Red And White Song Battle on New Year’s Eve. Moehiko Harumisawa is annoyed that she didn’t maintain their instruments properly. Imanari still thinks forming the pWo with Manase is a good idea.

DDT “REPRINT YOUNG COMMUNICATION SPECIAL ISSUE” Results

January 16, 2021

DDT “REPRINT YOUNG COMMUNICATION SPECIAL ISSUE”, 16/01/2021
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall
138 Fans

1. Michio Kageyama & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated Gota Ihashi & Rion Mizuki when Hiroshi pinned Mizuki with the Ground Cobra Twist (11:19).
2. Tatsuhiko Yoshino & Daichi Kazato defeated Soma Takao & Shota when Yoshino pinned Shota with the Thunder Crash (13:01).
3. Toru Sugiura defeated Akito with the Swift Driver (17:12).
4. Double Main Event I – 6-Man Tag Match: Ryuichi Sekine, Kazuki Hirata & FUMA defeated Yukihiro Abe, Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie when Hirata pinned Abe with the Egoist Driver (17:20).
5. Double Main Event II: Hideki Okatani defeated Keigo Nakamura with the Double Arm Suplex (13:35).

The Young Communication reunion displayed just how far that generation of wrestlers has spread across the wrestling scene. There were wrestlers representing DDT, Big Japan, FREEDOMS, BASARA, Ganbare☆Pro, #STRONGHEARTS, Team Dera Pro Wrestling and even an acknowledgement towards defunct promotions like Union Pro and Guts World. Some wrestlers have changed a lot over the decade, others haven’t at all.

The teams for the main event were revealed right before the match began. Shigehiro Irie tearfully hugged Ryuichi Sekine after the match while Kazuki Hirata invited all of the wrestlers into the ring. Shota proudly told everyone this is the Young Communication Generation. FUMA remembered when all of them used to wear similar wrestling gear but now they all have their own unique and gorgeous outfits. Keisuke Ishii wants another reunion so everyone here can wrestle each other again. Yukihiro Abe was honest and admitted he doesn’t have any good memories of the Young Communication shows. But today was the opposite for him. Hirata said today proves that the younger generation has a lot of characters.

Everyone exited the ring, walked to the entrance and took a bow. But instead of leaving, they all returned to ringside. Akito explained that there was one more thing left to do before the show ends. Everyone here was young up and coming wrestlers a decade ago. None of them were main event ready but the Young Communication shows they put on gave them the chance to be in a main event. It is time to pass the torch and let the new generation get their chance because it is difficult to do this in DDT these days. Akito invited Hideki Okatani and Keigo Nakamura into the ring. He was giving them the main event! Okatani was able to avenge his defeat to Nakamura from the start of the year and came out on top.

Akito praised Toru Sugiura for growing into a great champion. Sugiura was also complimentary towards Akito for becoming a Vice President.

GANBARE☆PRO “CONAN THE GREAT 2021” Results

January 10, 2021

GANBARE☆PRO “CONAN THE GREAT 2021”, 10/01/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
90 Fans

1. THE HALFEE Vs Pochajo Full Scale Competition: Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase defeated Moeka Haruhi & Shu Sakurai when Imanari pinned Sakurai with a Flying Body Scissors Drop (7:25).
2. Ganpro Vs Chiba Full Scale Competition: Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Yasu Urano, Shinichiro Tominaga & Yuma 24 when Katsumura submitted Yuma with the Katsumura Special (10:57).
3. Ganjo Special Single Match: Asuka defeated HARUKAZE with a Choke Slam (6:19).
4. A Special Single Match To Determine Whether “Age Is Just A Number”: Ikuto Hidaka defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Iwami Ginzan (16:37).
5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title – Street Fight Style Special Hardcore Match: Shota (c) defeated Miss Mongol with the Gannosuke Clutch (15:29).
*V1 for Shota.
-. Urgent Decision Match – Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Shota (c) Vs Yasu Urano ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).
*V2 for Shota

Shota went through hell today and got not one, but two Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title defences out of it. In the planned main event, Shota defeated Miss Mongol by the skin of his teeth in a Street Fight. Mongol attacked Shota with a barbed wire bat, chairs and a barbed wire board. She gave him a Piledriver through a table and also Power Bombed him onto some chairs. Shota escaped with a win when he countered the Thunder Fire Power Bomb into the Gannosuke Clutch. He said he was proud an an indy wrestler to have an FMW style match against Mongol. He isn’t from the generation that experienced FMW in real time but he understands they are the reason there are many indy groups around now. He also said pro wrestling is no longer divided by age and genders. Mongol said twenty years ago she never thought she could get a shot at the title because it was a championship only for men. She thanked Shota for letting her challenge for it today. Shota encouraged her to continue wrestling especially when her child is at an age where they are starting to understand what she is doing.

When Mongol left the ring, Shota was interrupted by Yasu Urano. They started arguing until Shota over tweets they made about each other during the day. Shota challenged Urano to a match on 24th January with the title on the line. Urano didn’t want to wait that long so Shota decided they would have the match right now! Daisuke Kiso warned the both of them that there was not enough time left in the show to allow a 20 minute time limit. They all agreed to a 10 minute limit and begun the impromptu title match. Urano did the SAYONARA Tombstone but the Frog Splash he did afterwards was blocked with Shota’s knees. Shota put Urano in the Gannosuke Clutch but the bell rang and the match was ruled a draw. Urano blamed the result on being tired because he wrestled two matches today. Shota said it was his second match too. They agreed to a proper title rematch on 24th January. However, Shota also has a title defence at JUST TAP OUT on 15th January. If he loses the title on that show then the match against Urano will have nothing on the line. Urano wants to fight for something so if the belt is out of the picture by then, he is demanding Shota to put his hair on the line!

Ikuto Hidaka continues to mow through the Ganbare☆Pro roster with a victory over Keisuke Ishii. Now he has gotten the attention of Shuichiro Katsumura. He’s not concerned over ages, he just wants to fight strong guys. He promises to beat Hidaka on behalf of Ganpro! Hidaka accepted. His driving force right now is being undefeated in Ganpro. He feels he can’t afford to lose to them at this point.

There was suspicion surrounding HARUKAZE all day. At the start of the show she took out 50,000 yen and told everyone she would give it to a referee as both a New Year’s gift and a bribe. When her match with Asuka began, she started acting weird towards the Daisuke Kiso. When she threw the referee at her opponent, HARUKAZE called for help and her plan was revealed. Yumehito Imanari ran out wearing a referee shirt and took over officiating the match, blatantly helping HARUKAZE. Asuka had to fight against a two on one disadvantage but pulled through with it, kind of by accident. She missed a Spin Kick aimed for HARUKAZE but still caught Imanari with it. That allowed her to give both of them a Double Choke Slam and Kiso recovered to count the pin. Asuka then took her frustration out on Imanari after the match by stomping on his balls.

Ken Ohka gave a speech to start the show. He calls the current situation in Tokyo difficult but you never know what the future holds. That’s why he thinks it is important for everyone to appreciate every moment they have as hard as they can. He doesn’t know if this is the last he is going to say this but the Ganpro wrestlers will fight hard so please give them all of your support this year.

DDT “NEW YEAR’S DAY GIFT SPECIAL! ALL SEATS 3,000 YEN SPECIAL BOX OFFICE!! 2021” Results

January 3, 2021

DDT “NEW YEAR’S DAY GIFT SPECIAL! ALL SEATS 3,000 YEN SPECIAL BOX OFFICE!! 2021”, 03/01/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
713 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Keigo Nakamura defeated Hideki Okatani with a Cradle (7:42).
2. Antonio Honda 43rd Birthday & 16th Anniversary Debut Match: Antonio Honda defeated Choun-Shiryu with the Diving Fist Drop (9:14).
3. Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Gota Ihashi defeated Toru Owashi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Toui Kojima when Sakaguchi pinned Kojima with the PK (9:37).
4. Mad Paulie, Nobuhiro Shimatani & Hiroshi Yamato defeated Makoto Oishi, Mizuki Watase & Yukio Naya when Paulie pinned Watase with the Reverse Splash (12:19).
5. 1 Vs 3 Handicap Match: Shinya Aoki, Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine defeated Sanshiro Takagi when Aoki pinned Takagi with a Jackknife Pin (10:00).
6. Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Yuki Ueno defeated Akito, Kazuki Hirata, Shota & Keisuke Ishii when Ueno pinned Shota with the BME (14:34).
7. Tetsuya Endo, Soma Takao & Yuji Hino (w/ Daisuke Sasaki) defeated HARASHIMA, Kazusada Higuchi & Chris Brookes when Endo pinned Brookes with the Shooting Star Press (17:18).

The first DDT show of 2021 was almost entirely a surprise card. The audience only knew what the matches were once they were ready to begin. For the main event HARASHIMA, Kazusada Higuchi & Chris Brookes joined forces to fight DAMNATION. While all of DAMNATION were at ringside, Daisuke Sasaki got directly involved by grabbing Brookes by the leg. Yuji Hino brought it to both HARASHIMA & Higuchi. Soma Takao overheard Higuchi insult CIMA which spurred him on to fight through the Brain Claw. Tetsuya Endo got the win in the end by hitting Brookes with Tetsuya In The Sky, the Swivel Torture Rack Bomb and finally the Shooting Star Press. Endo looked over to Jun Akiyama at the commentary table while the pin was counted.

Shouting was heard over by the entrance after the match. It was Yuki Iino calling for Hino’s attention while the rest of ALL OUT tried to hold him back. Iino pushed his teammates back, entered the ring and demanded to face Hino in an arm wrestling contest on the canvas. Hino was confused but he accepted the challenge and won. Iino got mad over losing and had to be held back again while Konosuke Takeshita introduced him to Hino. He then explained that Iino’s return match from injury will be at “KAWASAKI STRONG 2021” on 14th February when ALL OUT takes on DAMNATION. He then suggested that Iino and Hino have a singles match at the next big event after that. Hisaya Imabayashi agreed to book Iino Vs Hino in Nagoya on 23rd February. ALL OUT dragged Iino away while Endo took the microphone and warned Akiyama that he is always ready. Endo closed out the show by saying this year he is aiming for more than just the Tokyo Sports MVP Award. He wants to make scandalous news stories with glamourous women in the tabloids too!

Another 8-Man Tag pitted the two new units that have unexpectedly taken over DDT in the last few months. All four members of the DDT Sauna Club came out first, followed by the Young Communication Generation. The latter team then surprised everyone by bringing out Keisuke Ishii! Akito warned him about the Sauna Club’s “Heat Wave WER!!” pose but he didn’t understand it. Kazuki Hirata did a Plancha to the outside while Ishii did his work. The Sauna Club isolated Shota and piled on the top rope moves to him. Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Yuki Ueno hit Diving Body Presses one after the other but Ueno’s pin was broken up. Shota caught Ueno in the Gannosuke Clutch but MAO was there to break that pin up. Ueno got to recover and beat Shota with the BME. Backstage Ishii said it was the first time in a long while he wrestled in DDT (not counting BOYZ) and he would like to appear more in 2021 to be with his friends in Young Communication again. Shota wants to make it a year where Ganbare☆Pro doesn’t lose to DDT. Meanwhile Katsumata wants to make 2021 the year of the Sauna Club!

One of the matches was supposed to be Sanshiro Takagi & Danshoku Dieno Vs Shinya Aoki & Super Sasadango Machine. But backstage before the match Dieno, Aoki & Sasadango were all complaining about Takagi’s tweets including one that where Takagi was showing off his calves. The three of them instead decided to gang up on Takagi in a Handicap Match and purposely target his calf. Aoki put him in a Jail Hold while Dieno & Sasadango brought out a bag containing some of Takagi’s personal belongings. Sasadango found Takagi’s wallet, pulled out 29,000 yen in cash and raffled it off to three fans in the audience. Dieno eventually thought things went overboard and he felt sorry for Takagi. It is thanks to Takagi that they get to wrestle this year so the best New Year’s gift is to give Takagi his first win of 2021. Sasadango agreed and with Dieno they both attacked Aoki. Dieno is still recovering from the fire extinguisher attack to his rear but Takagi forced to go into the Hell Gate position. That lost him Sasadango’s support and Takagi was thrown face first into the Hell Gate. Aoki kicked Takagi in the calf, Sasadango did the Vertical Drop Lehmann Shock and Aoki pinned him with a Jackknife. Backstage Sasadango offered to be on Aoki’s team at “KAWASAKI STRONG 2021” because they should be fighting for a better goal than satisfying Takagi’s desires. They like Takagi but will not be used by him anymore!

As Takagi was leaving the ring after his match, he was suddenly approached at ringside by Yusuke Okada! The former All Japan wrestler introduced himself to the audience and told them he wants to experience a new world of pro wrestling now that he became freelance. He asked Takagi if he could have a match in DDT. Takagi questioned his interest in DDT after seeing the match that just happened. He then passed the request over to Imabayashi, who wasn’t expecting that. Imabayashi told Okada he will book him on next week’s Korakuen Hall show on 9th January.

DAMNATION’s good run begun earlier in the show when Mad Paulie, Nobuhiro Shimatani & Hiroshi Yamato beat Makoto Oishi, Mizuki Watase & Yukio Naya. Paulie threw Yamato onto Watase with an X-Style Iconoclasm. Shimatani then hopped onto Paulie’s back and they jumped on top of Watase for a nearfall when Oishi & Naya broke it up. Paulie then hit Watase with a Lariat and won with the Reverse Splash.

Gota Ihashi didn’t get to wrestle in Korakuen Hall last year so he wanted to make up for lost time. This year he wants to join a unit and rampage all over DDT. There is only one unit he wants to join and that’s Eruption! He came out with his own custom entrance video wearing an Eruption coat made out of posters. He even drew his own version of the Eruption logo calling it Ihaption. Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai were bemused over this but it kind of worked out in the end. Akai gave Toru Owashi a Brainbuster and Ihashi went toe to toe with Tomomitsu Matsunaga. Eruption(?) then focused their attacks on Toui Kojima. Ihashi almost lost the match when he missed the Moonsault. Akai kicked Ihashi out of frustration and Sakaguchi tagged himself in to finish Kojima off. Sakaguchi & Akai had enough of Ihashi and walked off on him backstage. However he believes he can continue teaming with Eruption and together they can all go after the KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles.

Antonio Honda’s big day was almost ruined when he tripped on the ropes and hurt his knee. Choun-Shiryu knew what was coming and attacked Honda before he could tell his latest Gongitsune joke. Honda lived up to the big occasion though and hit a Topé Suicida and the Tenzan Tombstone Driver on route to victory.

The first DDT match of 2021 was Keigo Nakamura’s first ever singles victory! He defeated his generation rival Hideki Okatani by cradling his way out of the Double Arm Suplex. Nakamura currently has a 1-3 record against Okatani so he wants to reverse the numbers this year.

Some more matches were booked for “KAWASAKI STRONG 2021”. Akai will be teaming with Maya Yukihi from Ice Ribbon to take on Saori Anou & Miyako Matsumoto. Yukihi said she discovered DDT more than 10 years ago so she is deeply moved to be wrestling a match for them. She thought she was going to fight against Akai but Imabayashi corrected her. Akai always wanted to team with her because she is beautiful and strong. She is also excited to face Anou again. When Imabayashi asked Akai & Yukihi about Matsumoto, they both declined to answer. They were asked again backstage and Yukihi finally had something to say. “In terms of strength, beauty and glamour, Miyako-san will never the best.”

The New Year’s Shuffle Tag Tournament winners Smile Pissari will team again at the Culttz Kawasaki show. HARASHIMA & Yuji Okabayashi will face a team yet to be determined.

Takagi will return to the battlefield for his next DDT Extreme Title defence. He takes on Nabe Yakan from Best Body Pro Wrestling on 10th January. The match was made when earlier in the day Yakan led a bunch of soldiers armed with air guns into the locker room to steal the Extreme Title belt.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

7. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shota

Shota is having a late career resurgence, winning the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles and Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title in short succession. He believes that is why Yuki Ueno accepted his challenge for the DDT UNIVERSAL Title. Shota wants to become a leader of the independent scene in 2021 and travel around the world for wrestling. He thinks winning the UNIVERSAL Title will get him overseas bookings. Ueno didn’t want to end 2020 with him getting pinned by Shota so his new year resolution is to avenge that loss as soon as possible. He should respect Shota more and not look down on that result but as the UNIVERSAL Champion he has a standard to live up to. He must not let the title go to someone who can’t decide if he is indie or major.

Unless he shows up on 3rd January, this is Daisuke Sasaki’s return match from injury.

The day after Shota main events Korakuen Hall for DDT, he gets to defend the World Jr. Indie Title in Ganbare☆Pro against an FMW original. Miss Mongol is annoyed that Ganpro hasn’t booked her in months so she got bold and challenged Shota to a title match. She also wants it to be a Street Fight because of the championship’s origins with FMW.

Ikuto Hidaka’s appearances in Ganpro this year was to show he still has a lot left in the tank despite his age. Keisuke Ishii wants to see it for himself after he beat Hidaka in a tag match a few days ago.

Saitama Wrestle Arena

1. Gake no Fuchi Joshi Vs Pocchari Joshi Full-Scale Competition: Miyako Matsumoto & Chris Brookes Vs Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase

After taking half a year off, Gake no Fuchi Joshi will be back in action. Miyako Matsumoto is currently looking for joshi trainees of all shapes and sizes so they can help her make the world a little bit more interesting. In August Matsumoto & Chris Brookes lost to the Pocchari Joshi team of Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase at a Bakuha Koshien show. The rematch under Gake no Fuchi Joshi rules promises to be a lot more crazier.

DDT “KAWASAKI STRONG 2021”, 14/02/2021
Culttz Kawasaki

1. KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles: Sanshiro Takagi, X, X & X Vs Shinya Aoki, X, X & X
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Super Delfin, Chris Brookes & Maki Itoh Vs MAO, Keigo Nakamura & Mirai Maiumi
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Jun Akiyama

The D-Ou Grand Prix is over for another year and the winner Jun Akiyama gets the KO-D Openweight Title shot against Tetsuya Endo in February. Akiyama put over Endo and the KO-D Title huge by including Endo with Tetsuya Naito and Go Shiozaki as the only three champions that matter to him. Endo did beat Akiyama in their D-Ou group match so Akiyama needs to fight his heart out if he wants to win. Endo watched the final between Akiyama and Konosuke Takeshita, leaving him with some strong opinions. He can tell the difference between the two wrestlers. According to Endo, Takeshita only thinks about himself while Akiyama is thinking about the entire wrestling industry. Endo likes the praise of his title reign he is getting from Akiyama and it makes him proud of increasing the KO-D Title’s value. So when Endo beats Akiyama again in Culttz Kawasaki, he will call the KO-D Title the number one championship in Japan and himself the number one wrestler in Japan!

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

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Akito, Kazuki Hirata & Shota (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi, HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno

The Young Communication Generation want to defend the 6-Man Tag Titles against the top wrestlers in DDT. To them that means the top names from the generation before them.

The #STRONGHEARTS contingent of CIMA, T-Hawk, El Lindaman & Shigehiro Irie will be on the show. Although I don’t know if Irie will be associated with the group when it comes to the match making.

GANBARE☆PRO “THE WORLD 2020” Results

December 26, 2020

GANBARE☆PRO “THE WORLD 2020”, 26/12/2020
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Special Single Match ~Wrestle And Bromance~: Yumehito Imanari defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with a Body Strangle Otoshikatame (8:40).
2. Yuna Manase & Rina Amikura defeated Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE when Manase pinned HARUKAZE with the Suzuki Dynamic (9:55).
3. Pinch Hitter Nakamura, A Fateful Mischief Reunites!: Kouki Iwasaki & Kota Umeda defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Keigo Nakamura when Umeda pinned Nakamura with the Umeda Driver (13:31).
4. A Special Tag Match To Verify Whether “Age Is Just A Number”: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Ikuto Hidaka & Ken Ohka when Ishii pinned Ohka with the Kneel Kick (12:30).
5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Shota defeated Asuka (c) with the Gannosuke Clutch (17:04).
*Asuka fails in V3. Shota becomes the 32nd Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion!

2020 for Ganbare☆Pro ends with a new Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion! The upset title change saw Shota catch Asuka with the Gannosuke Clutch. He admitted that Asuka would be beat him nine times out of ten but today is the one time he got the better of her. His brain was still shook so he didn’t know what else to tell Asuka other than he loves her. Asuka left him alone in the ring.

Shota said at the start of the show his goal for 2021 is to become a leader of the independent scene. Well he has the chance to do that because there are already challengers lining up. First, Arata from JUST TAP OUT came out and asked Shota to defend the title on JTO’s 15th January Korakuen Hall show. He brought up the title’s history with TAKA Michinoku as a reason to do this. Shota said he watches JTO on NicoPro and knows they use a ranking system. Arata is currently ranked #5 while TAKA is #1. Shota said if Arata can beat TAKA then he will deserve a title shot. Maybe Shota will go wrestle a singles match in JTO anyway and when he wins he will nominate TAKA himself!

When Shin was finished, Shota was then confronted by Miss Mongol. She joked about never being booked by Ganbare☆Pro after she lost the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles in September. She’s seeing everyone else doing their best so she is going to be bold and demand a shot at the title that came from her original promotion FMW! Shota accepted the challenge and wanted the match to happen on 24th January. Mongol convinced him to do the match on 10th January instead. Also since this is an FMW championship, the match should be a Street Fight Hardcore Match! Imanari agreed and promised Shin he will make it to the JTO show as the champion.

The pair of Ikuto Hidaka & Ken Ohka have a message to spread across the world. Age is just a number! That message was put on blast by Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie. Their teamwork left Hidaka & Ohka battered and beaten in the end. Ishii likes both of them and is also a fan of numbers. He asked Hidaka to prove his claim about age by facing him one on one. Hidaka said he couldn’t prove it today because his team lost. But he has no reason to decline Ishii’s challenge and will enjoy taking on Ishii’s original pro wrestling style.

Shuichiro Katsumura and Kouki Iwasaki got into a brief scuffle after their match. When they were pulled apart, Iwasaki got to talk about yesterday’s engagement news to the fans. He thanked them for their support and will do his best with pride as a pro wrestler.

Yumehito Imanari was proudly showing off his newly won NWA Intercontinental Tag Team Title belt during the show. He and Shinjiro Otani became the new champions in ZERO1 by winning the Furinkazan Tag Tournament on Christmas Day.

Ganpro’s next Korakuen Hall show will take place on 7th April, 2021.
