The live stream of “KAWASAKI STRONG 2021” on WRESTLE UNIVERSE was disrupted a couple of times during the show. DDT uploaded the three matches affected in full to their Youtube channel to make up for it, including the main event!

The first “Big Match” show for DDT in 2021 took place in Culttz Kawasaki where fans got to see Jun Akiyama climb back up to the summit and become the new KO-D Openweight Champion! With Kenta Kobashi watching from ringside, Akiyama defeated Tetsuya Endo to avenge the D-Ou Grand Prix loss to him back in November. Endo’s plan was to target Akiyama’s surgically repaired knee to immobilise him. Akiyama had to throw big moves like Piledrivers and different Suplexes to wear down the champion in return. Endo kept kicking out of Exploder Suplexes including one from the top rope. He went high risk with the Shooting Star Press but missed, giving Akiyama the opening to hit his Knee Strikes. Endo kicked out once more this time from the Wrist-Clutch Exploder. It took an open leg Sternness Dust α to finally put Endo down and out to cause the title change.
Kobashi presented Akiyama with the KO-D Title after the match. He wanted to wrap it around his waist but Akiyama refused him. Akiyama said Endo was the best and he was only able to beat him by a small margin today. He doesn’t know if he could do it again, so he is going to borrow this championship for a while. Endo shouted he will get it back and then left. Akiyama then said he cannot wear the title around his waist until he beats the other DDT wrestler he lost against in the Grand Prix. He wants his first defence to be against Kazusada Higuchi! Akiyama then referenced the WRESTLE UNIVERSE servers going down during the main event and joked about using Danshoku Dieno’s anal server to power it back up (that will be explained below).
In order to prepare for his DDT UNIVERSAL Title defence, Yuki Ueno went to train Jiu-Jitsu under Shinya Aoki so he could learn how to defend himself from Yukio Sakaguchi’s Sleeper Hold. The game plan he put together was to take out Sakaguchi’s left arm and strike first with counters. That was how he cut off the God’s Right Knee with a Dropkick. Sakaguchi wouldn’t die though even when Ueno gave him the WR. Sakaguchi instead tried to shake it off and go straight for the Sleeper Hold. But Ueno’s training paid off and he reversed the submission, choking out Sakaguchi until the match was stopped. Sakaguchi was woken up by medical staff and still had the power to hand the belt over to the champion. Ueno told him he doesn’t have any unpleasant feelings towards him. He was a little luckier today but little by little he is improving. Ueno then said in a few years time he wants to be as cool and scary as Sakaguchi is.
Yuki Iino made a triumphant return by leading ALL OUT to victory over DAMNATION. He immediately gave a Spear to Yuji Hino at the start of the match. ALL OUT all piled on top of Iino and Mad Paulie which was then broken up by a Diving Elbow from Daisuke Sasaki. A challenge of strength took place between Konosuke Takeshita and Hino when they both did Double German Suplexes to wrestlers on both teams. A ladder was bridged from the ring to the commentary table and Hino threw Shunma Katsumata onto it. Sasaki hit Iino with a chairshot behind the referee’s back but Iino shrugged it off and fought back. He got rid of Sasaki with a Lariat and then dropped Hino with a Back Flip. Paulie came in for a fight but missed the Reverse Splash. He kicked out of the Spear at one so Iino revved up for another Spear and that one got the three count. Iino and Hino had a staredown afterwards to hype up their singles match on 23rd February in Nagoya. Another story coming out of this match was Sasaki’s comments backstage. He said his goal for 2021 is to make Takeshita join DAMNATION! When ALL OUT heard that, Akito said he will make Soma Takao join the Young Communication Generation in return. Takeshita then joked that Mad Paulie will join the DDT Sauna Club.
If there is anything I will give Yukio Naya credit for, it is for getting into shape. He’s making good progress with losing weight in a bid to get into better in-ring condition. He still had a very difficult task today going with Higuchi up to fight against Smile Pissari. Naya came close to victory when he gave HARASHIMA a Back Drop. But it all fell apart when he charged right into a Somato. HARASHIMA got the space he wanted to recover and hit a second Somato for the win. HARASHIMA was happy to team with Yuji Okabayashi again and they may now have a claim to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles.
The spirit of 90’s Michinoku Pro was felt throughout the Special 6-Man Tag Match. Super Delfin had a new era Delfin Gundan in the form of Chris Brookes & Maki Itoh going against the Tohoku trio of MAO, Keigo Nakamura & Mirai Maiumi. Itoh entered wearing a Gran Naniwa costume and mimicked the late wrestler’s moveset, doing Naniwa’s Crab Walk on the ropes spot to set up the Flying Big Head finish. Delfin said this match happened a day after an earthquake happened in the Tohoku region, almost a decade after the 2011 earthquake. He hopes it will be safe enough for them to do a rematch over there some day. Brookes said it was a dream come true to team with Delfin because he is a cornerstone of the innovative junior heavyweight style of the 90’s. Itoh said the rope walk is a lot more difficult than it looks.
It turns out Saori Anou was right to complain about having to team with Miyako Matsumoto. They had a few too many miscommunications that caused their tag team to fall apart. Anou got sick of getting knocked around by her own tag partner that she gave Matsumoto a Fisherman Buster and left her out to dry. Maya Yukihi hit Matsumoto with the Jumping Super Kick and Saki Akai finished her off with the Rookie Award. Akai, Yukihi and Anou then did a group pose together and left the ring when Matsumoto tried to join in.
New KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Champions have been crowned! Will we see a proper title reign for once? Hell if I know! But enough about that, it’s time to finally talk about Dieno’s anal server. Kazuki Hirata began dancing unconsciously before the match because he was suffering from withdrawal symptoms after spending some time away from the dance gimmick. When he got to do dance in the ring the enthusiasm was so high that it caused a power outage in the venue. Everyone agreed to use Dieno’s backside as a power supply but the cable was not long enough. The wrestlers agreed to form a human chain from Dieno’s butt to the power source. The plan worked but the power wasn’t enough to bring the electricity back to full surge. Shinya Aoki came up with the solution to do the Hell Gate on Dieno, giving the anal power source the energy Dieno needed to power up the building again. Hirata got to dance and pin Sanshiro Takagi to win the titles.
The new rivalry between Yusuke Okada and Mizuki Watase is heating up. The two got rough with each other during the opener. Watase even made it a point to make Toui Kojima submit to a Crab Hold in front of Okada while Okada was being held back by Hideki Okatani. Watase is looking forward to their singles match because he now has a burning heart that wasn’t there before.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “POSITIVE CHAIN”, 11/02/2021 Tokyo Korakuen Hall 507 Fans
1. Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko defeated Marika Kobashi & Moka Miyamoto when Harajuku pinned Miyamoto wit the Pom Do Justice (7:11).
2. Yuna Manase, Nao Kakuta & Raku defeated Hikari Noa, Mahiro Kiryu & Sena Shiori when Raku pinned Shiori with the Doctor Yellow (7:25).
3. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Sakazaki pinned Endo with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (12:54).
4. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel when Itoh pinned Saint-Michel with the Flying Big Head (16:54).
5. International Princess Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) defeated Mirai Maiumi with the Diving Fame Asser (9:46). *V1 for Yuki Kamifuku.
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino (c) defeated Shin Ultra Shoko & Hyper Misao when Aino pinned Shoko with the UBV (13:28). *V2 for The Bakuretsu Sisters.
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) defeated Miu Watanabe with the Missile Hips (18:18). *V1 for Rika Tatsumi.
The Daydream showdown marked Rika Tatsumi’s first defence of the Princess Of Princess Title. She survived a Top Rope Canadian Backbreaker Drop from Miu Watanabe then countered the Tear Drop into the Twist Of Fate. From there Tatsumi hit Watanabe with Hip Attacks until she got the pin with the Missile Hips. Tatsumi thought she was going to be too strong for Watanabe but that didn’t happen at all. She thinks that is amazing and thanked Watanabe for fighting her. She will continue to support Watanabe building the bridge between idols and pro wrestling. Tatsumi also has a dream and that is to make Tokyo Joshi Pro bigger. The two of them agreed to continue teaming together as Daydream and they will enter the “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament beginning later this month.
A big battle requires big armour. The Tokyo Joshingers arrived for their Princess Tag Team Titles match wearing new combat suits which left the referee Yukinori Matsui looking confused. The Bakuretsu Sisters tore the armour off to start the match. Yuki Aino cut off Shin Ultra Shoko by pulling her down by her cloak. Shoko freed herself from the cloak and wiped out the Sisters outside the ring with a Suicide Dive. Hyper Misao followed up by throwing a dislodged piece of her Combat Bicycle at them. The challengers had their chance but Aino suddenly countered Shoko’s Northern Lights Suplex into the Venus DDT. She then finished her off with the UBV for the three count. Backstage after the match, Shoko said she will entrust Misao and The Bakuretsu Sisters to protect the world while she returns to the stars. Her month as a superhero has ended and Shoko Nakajima will return. She also wants the Sisters to have her mask while she is gone. Misao is sad to see Shin Ultra Shoko leave already but she still wants to team with Nakajima for the Max Hearts Tournament. Nodoka Tenma promises to win the tournament so everyone will remember The Bakuretsu Sisters as TJPW’s number one tag team.
Sadly for Mirai Maiumi, the Miramare Shock did not happen today. She was all ready for it too with a new look. Yuki Kamifuku had something new of her own to show off, a new entrance song. Kamifuku kicked away Maiumi’s custom steel case made for today’s match and even closed it over her opponent’s head for added insult. Maiumi trapped Kamifuku in the Miramare submission but Kamifuku found ways to get out of it. She ended up winning with two Fame Assers, one from the second rope. Maiumi wonders if Kamifuku delivered her own Miramare Shock before the match even happened. She kept making fun of Maiumi’s rural background and all it did was make Maiumi notice things about her that she never noticed before. Maiumi promises she will deliver the Miramare Shock some day and when she does, everyone will be seeing a new Mirai Maiumi. Kamifuku said was a little worried because her opponent today has a lot more passion for pro wrestling than she does. Mirai watches a lot of famous wrestling matches and copies what she sees. Kamifuku doesn’t want to be a parody so she put more effort into her entire package today so she would win as herself instead of an imitation. She thinks it is better to show your attitude than to talk. A shock happens on its own, it is not something you can force.
The Max Hearts Tournament is on the minds of everyone in TJPW. A lot of the results were signs of intent from the women towards winning the whole thing. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh made their message loud and clear with a big victory over NEO Biishiki-gun. No amount of cheating with roses and silver platters could stop them. Yamashita wiped out Sakisama with the Skull Kick while Itoh pinned Mei Saint-Michel with the Flying Big Head, handing Saint-Michel her first loss in TJPW. Even though Itoh ultimately wants to beat Yamashita someday, she sees they make a good team together. Yamashita agrees. It’s a mystery how their styles are so different but still fit each other. Yamashita is also pleased she won a match against Sakisama. She knows she will beat her in a singles match when the time comes.
The Magical Sugar Rabbits are trying out a new move called the Yukacchi Bomb but they haven’t quite figured it out yet. It involves Mizuki doing a Sunset Flip on Yuka Sakazaki and they both land on top of their opponents to pin them. However the move also does damage to Sakazaki which makes her lift her shoulders and weakens the pinning attempt. Still, Mizuki wants to continue working on the move because it is good for them to keep challenging themselves. It’s a good thing that the experiment didn’t cost them the match because Suzume & Arisu Endo threw everything they had at them. Suzume got Mizuki out of the ring for Endo to finish Sakazaki off. But Sakazaki fought back and got the win with the Magical Merry-Go-Round.
Hikari Noa came out of her match wanting to face Nao Kakuta more often. She also wants a singles match against Yuna Manase. Both Mahiro Kiryu & Sena Shiori were disappointed they’re not at a stong enough level yet to show off their growth to Manase. Raku however was at her happiest. She won the match and got to do it in front of her two “older sisters”. Since Manase is working so hard over in Ganbare☆Pro she keeps thinking she has nothing left to do in TJPW. But there’s more to wrestling than big matches so whenever she can use her connections for a TJPW booking, she’ll look forward to being there.
Last time in Korakuen Hall, the team of Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko lost to Moka Miyamoto. Today they got their win back against her. Neko got rid of Marika Kobashi with the Codebreaker leaving Harajuku to get the win with the Pom Do Justice. The pair want to team up for the Max Hearts Tournament with the team name Harunyan.
TJPW will have a show in for a women only audience at Itabashi Green Hall on 4th April. They originally planned to do the concept a year ago but it had to be cancelled because of the pandemic.

Four days away from Korakuen Hall and the wrestlers involved in the two singles title matches met crossed paths in the main event. Miu Watanabe was the strongest as shown by the finish. She got rid of Rika Tatsumi with the Canadian Backbreaker and pinned Pom Harajuku with the Tear Drop. Tatsumi credited Watanabe for winning today but she won’t lose to her next time. Mirai Maiumi then said Yuki Kamifuku is trembling in fear of the Miramare Shock! Watanabe then included Suzume & Sena Shiori in the show closing speech by saying they will fight with the feeling of challenging for championships at Korakuen.
A new tag team tournament will be held over the next two months. The “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament will determine the strongest tag team in Tokyo Joshi Pro. The 1st Round will be held on 20th February, the 2nd Round will be on the 21st and the remaining rounds will happen on 6th March.
Hyper Misao is looking to recruit more superheroes for the Tokyo Joshingers to bolster up the numbers alongside Shin Ultra Shoko. She brought along custom made masks for Yuki Aino & Marika Kobashi to wear for an audition. They reluctantly went ahead with the idea but ripped them off when the match began.
The big news related to Tokyo Joshi Pro over the last 24 hours has been AEW announcing the field for their upcoming women’s tournament. Half of the brackets will take place in Japan (it was accidentally leaked that Saitama Wrestle Butokan, aka the Ice Ribbon Dojo is being used as the venue and content has already been taped) and two wrestlers from TJPW will be involved. Yuka Sakazaki makes her long awaited return to AEW but the even bigger story is Maki Itoh will be entering too! Those who already know of her reputation are over the moon about this news. Everybody else won’t know what hit them. Asuka will also be taking part, wrestling under the name VENY which she made to become her moniker for wrestling overseas.

6. International Princess Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) Vs Mirai Maiumi
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Miu Watanabe
The contract signing for the three title matches has taken place. Rika Tatsumi made it clear her goal as the Princess Of Princess Title is to defend it for a century. When she teams with Miu Watanabe as Daydream, she thinks of ways to use Watanabe as a weapon against their opponents. So she already has ideas of how to attack Watanabe directly. It is a special match for her but she is not nervous. She has already been champion for a month and has learned to be calm about it. Watanabe thinks she has already grown thanks to wrestling against Tatsumi over the last month.
Mirai Maiumi created her own attaché case to represent her International Princess Title shot. She wants to become the champion to give courage and energy all over Japan. She promises her match will be the Miramare Shock miracle! As champion, Yuki Kamifuku purposely wants to make people feel jealousy. That way everyone will pay attention to her and Tokyo Joshi Pro.
The creation of Shin Ultra Shoka has reminded Hyper Misao of her original intentions when she became a superhero. She wants to create a superhero squad of Tokyo Joshi! There are five colours in the hero squad and two have already been filled. Red and green. That leaves blue, yellow and pink. If the Tokyo Joshingers win the Princess Tag Team Titles then they can add The Bakuretsu Sisters to their squad. Nodoka Tenma wants to be the blue ranger but she would rather still be champion. She also wants Shoko Nakajima to go back to normal so they can team with her as the Tokyo Joshi Special Effects Club again. They would even prefer Misao to join the club rather than they join the Joshingers. Yuki Aino also reminded the challengers that it’s the people that give heroes their powers and they will use that power to defend the belts.

7. The Past, Present & Future Of Tokyo Joshi Pro Cross On The Mat!: Miyu Yamashita & Mirai Maiumi defeated Rika Tatsumi & Suzume when Yamashita pinned Suzume with the Attitude Adjustment (10:15).
Tokyo Joshi Pro went back to its roots with a return to mat wrestling matches inside TwinBox AKIHABARA. The venue hosted TJPW’s very first event where three trainees including Miyu Yamashita took part in exhibition matches alongside musical performances from idol groups. Today’s show aired on PPV through OPENREC. It begun with Sayuri Namba hosting a talk segment with Yuka Sakazaki and Yuki Kamifuku. Then there were musical performances with Maki Itoh, Rika Tatsumi and the Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling). In the “crowd” were Hyper Misao and Shin Ultra Shoko waving penlights to the music and cheering the singers on.
The wrestlers gave out comments before the matches. Yamashita worked double duty by being in both the opener and the main event because of some last minute changes. She found it meaningful for her to face the newest TJPW wrestler Arisu Endo in the room where TJPW began. She also brought back her dancing entrance to “Genghis Khan”. Endo Body Slammed Yamashita onto the mat and applied a Camel Clutch. Yamashita powered out of it, put Endo in a Cobra Clutch and pulled her down onto the mat to submit her.
Sena Shiori knew that her match with Misao was really a Handicap Match withShoko also involved. However she still fell for Misao’s trick when she was invited to become a part time superhero only to be attacked with cloak. Shoko passed over a Hyper Ultra Ball but Shiori intercepted it and used it as a weapon herself. Misao was able to recover and win with the Hypami Returns.
Both Itoh and Moka Miyamoto are new to mat wrestling despite the gap in regular wrestling experience between them. Itoh struggled out of the Manjigatame and dropped Miyamoto with a Wrist-Clutch DDT. She then finished her off with a Crab Hold.
Pom Harajuku said she is always at the mercy of The Magical Sugar Rabbits whenever they wrestle so she needed her teamwork with Mahiro Kiryu to be perfect against them. Sakazaki was excited to wrestle on a mat again because that’s a lawless area where you can do anything! They did just that by using the security barrier like a top turnbuckle to do high flying moves off of. Mizuki also used Sakazaki as a stepping stone to do a Flying Cross Body to Kiryu. Sakazaki pinned Harajuku with a Delayed Brainbuster.
Kamifuku noticed that Marika Kobashi’s makeup has been getting darker recently and it makes her look like a demon. She was going to be responsible like an older sister and clean the makeup off of Kobashi’s face. She brought along facewipes and tried to use them but Kobashi fought her off with Chops. Kamifuku removed her own makeup to show her opponent it is okay to show your true appearance but Kobashi still resisted. Kamifuku put her in a Manjigatame and forcefully wiped the makeup off Kobashi’s face, giving her no choice but to give up.
The Up Up Girls called their concert at the start of the show a warm up for their match next. Raku wants everyone to eat sweets which is why she gave Nodoka Tenma a candy necklace when the match began. But it was really a surprise attack to set up the Good Night Express. Tenma would later wrap the candy around her fist to load up her punches. Miu Watanabe used the Giant Swing on Yuki Aino. Raku fought off The Bakuretsu Sisters with the Brain Chop. The match ended when Hikari Noa used her Figur 4 Clutch Hold to pin Haruna Neko. Noa has named the pinning combination the Saigo No Bansan (Last Supper).
Yamashita came back out for the main event. Mirai Maiumi wanted to tag with her to experience the history of TJPW. Tatsumi thought Yamashita was getting carried away by the nostalgia so she wanted to give her a good beating. Yamashita and Tatsumi fought over by the announce table while Maiumi and Suzume kept their wrestling on the mat. Tatsumi missed the Hip Attack and collided with the wall. Miaumi hit her with a Lariat on the rebound. Yamashita countered the Ring A Bell into the Attitude Adjustment on Suzume for the three count.
After the match Yamashita spoke about the first show from 8 years ago. It was just her, KANNA, Chikage Kiba and the referee Daisuke Kiso taking part in matches. Over the years her number of friends increased and she hopes TJPW will continue to grow even bigger.

6. DAMNATION VS Junretsu!: Tetsuya Endo, Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao Vs Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Hideki Okatani
Akiyama’s return match is here. Tetsuya Endo is already getting impatient waiting for him to come back. Because of all the shows Akiyama will miss this month, this will be the only preview match he and Endo will have before “KAWASAKI STRONG 2021”.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “POSITIVE CHAIN”, 11/02/2021 Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. International Princess Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) Vs Mirai Maiumi
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Miu Watanabe
The International Princess Title is making the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster aspire to spread their name overseas. Mirai Maiumi is stepping up to challenge Yuki Kamifuku for the title. Kamifuku is acting a little patronizing towards her over it because what would a rural girl know about going international? Maiumi wants to prove her wrong.
1. Mizuki Watase & Hideki Okatani Vs Yusuke Okada & Toi Kojima
2. Super Joshi War ~Blooming Flowers~: Saki Akai & Maya Yukihi Vs Saori Anou & Miyako Matsumoto
3. Yuki Iino Return Match ~ DAMNATION Vs ALL OUT!: Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao, Mad Paulie & Yuji Hino Vs Konosuke Takeshita, Akito, Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Iino
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Super Delfin, Chris Brookes & Maki Itoh Vs MAO, Keigo Nakamura & Mirai Maiumi
5. Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Yuji Okabayashi Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Naya
6. KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles: Sanshiro Takagi, Danshoku Dieno, Toru Owashi & Makoto Oishi Vs Shinya Aoki, Super Sasadango Machine, Antonio Honda & Kazuki Hirata
7. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Yukio Sakaguchi
8. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Jun Akiyama
Somebody tell Yuki Ueno not to poke the wolf. Yukio Sakaguchi made it clear he will choke out anyone who sides with Ueno up until the DDT UNIVERSAL Title match. So Ueno joking about Sakaguchi wanting to pose with the title belt whenever he wins is only going to make fighting him worse.
The full squads for the vacant KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles match have been decided. For once it looks like the whichever team wins can be relied on to appear on the same shows consistantly enough to defend the belts.
Smile Pissari will be fighting the heavyweight team of Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Naya. Naya’s progress (or lack of it) in the ring has been the story of his DDT run so far. HARASHIMA believes he is getting better and looks forward to fighting Naya at his strongest. If that doesn’t work at least we get Yuji Okabayashi and Higuchi in the same match out of this.
DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA 2021”, 23/02/2021 Nagoya Congress Center Event Hall
1. Hiroshi Yamato & Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Yusuke Okada & Keigo Nakamura
2. Toru Owashi & Yukio Naya Vs Soma Takao & Mad Paulie
3. Chris Brookes & Maki Itoh Vs Antonio Honda & Saki Akai
4. DAMNATION Vs DDT Sauna Club!: Tetsuya Endo & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata
5. Junretsu Vs #STRONGHEARTS: Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi, Mizuki Watase & Hideki Okatani Vs CIMA, T-Hawk, El Lindaman & Shigehiro Irie
6. DDT Megatonweight Single Match: Yuji Hino Vs Yuki Iino
7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Akito, Kazuki Hirata & Shota (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi, HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno
8. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs Konosuke Takeshita & MAO
Some goofiness from Shunma Katsumata has led to the DDT Sauna Club getting the next crack at the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Katsumata wanted himself, Konosuke Takeshita & MAO to challenge the champions 3 on 2. That’s not allowed so he suggested only Takeshita & MAO get the title match instead. What a good friend. Too bad Sakaguchi knocked him out afterwards.
The #DAMNHEARTS business alliance between DAMNATION and #STRONGHEARTS is no more. CIMA and his associates are now no longer involved with DAMNATION’s activities. If they’re sticking around in DDT they will be going their own direction. Shigehiro Irie is coming back to DDT for a full scale 8-Man Tag against Junretsu.
Chris Brookes has had enough of Antonio Honda’s antics. So much so he is bringing Maki Itoh in to cause some trouble. Saki Akai has Honda’s back though.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2021 WINTER ~LOVERS~”, 10/01/2021 Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall 95 Fans
1. Yuki Aino defeated Arisu Endo with the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire (4:43).
2. Maki Itoh defeated Shiori Sena with a Crab Hold (6:55).
3. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Hikari Noa & Pom Harajuku when Sakazaki pinned Harajuku with the Osaekomi Backslide (9:22).
4. Shin Ultra Shoko & Hyper Misao defeated Nodoka Tenma & Haruna Neko when Shoko pinned Neko with the Ultra Northern Lights Suplex (8:11).
5. Mirai Maiumi & Suzume defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Moka Miyamoto when Maiumi pinned Miyamoto with the Back Drop (9:07).
6. Rika Tatsumi, Miyu Yamashita & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Miu Watanabe, Nao Kakuta & Raku when Tatsumi submitted Raku with the Strangle Dragon Sleeper (13:42).
Today was the first time Rika Tatsumi and Miu Watanabe wrestled against each other since they formed Daydream. It was also Nao Kakuta’s first main event in Tokyo Joshi Pro. Tatsumi was almost pinned by Raku with the Doctor Yellow but Mahiro Kiryu broke the pin. Tatsumi fought back with a Backbreaker to Raku and then made her give up to the Dragon Sleeper. Tatsumi is feeling good with her start to 2021. She’s going to keep going at this level heading into her first Princess Of Princess Title defence. She asked Miyu Yamashita & Kiryu if they can keep up with her.
Mirai Maiumi challenged Yuki Kamifuku for the International Princess Title. Kamifuku asked if she understood what international means? Maiumi does and she wants to spread her name across the world. Kamifuku thinks if Maiumi does her best she can turn the world into Maiumi Believers. She accepted the battle to determine who is more international! They’ll do it in Korakuen Hall on 11th February because according to Kamifuku it is one of Tokyo’s three major attractions that rural people like Maiumi love.
The “debut” of Shin Ultra Shoko saw her in red superhero gear coming out to the Ultraman Leo song. She did the Ultra Rider Kick, the Ultra Neckbreaker, the Ultra Butterfly Lock and won with the Ultra Northern Lights Suplex. She also did a double team move with Hyper Misao called the Ultra Hyper Judgement. It is the I Am A Hero and the Ultra Rider Kick done at the same time. Misao had to remind everyone during their post-match interview that everything Ultra is doing is not a copy of any existing superhero property. It is an original character!
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’21”, 04/01/2021 Tokyo Korakuen Hall 683 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Arisu Endo Debut Match: Suzume defeated Arisu Endo with the Ring A Bell (6:39).

6. Miyu Yamashita defeated Maki Itoh by Knockout with the Skull Kick (13:05).
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino (c) defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Tenma pinned Kiryu with the Killswitch (14:34). *V1 for The Bakuretsu Sisters.
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuka Sakazaki (c) by Referee Stoppage with a Figure 4 Leg Lock (19:22). *Yuka Sakazaki fails in V5. Rika Tatsumi becomes the 8th Princess Of Princess Champion!
The White Dragon seizes the white crown! Rika Tatsumi was the only active wrestler from year one of Tokyo Joshi Pro to have never won the Princess Of Princess Title. Today she finally became the champion by beating the dominant Yuka Sakazaki. The White Dragon Sleeper was countered into a Cradle nearfall that almost led to Tatsumi’s demise. But fortune was on her side when she rolled out of the way of the Magical Girl Niwatori Yaro. Sakazaki hurt her legs on the landing so Tatsumi used a series of Dragon Screws to set up a Figure 4 Leg Lock. Sakazaki tried to escape but ended up back in the hold and eventually fainted. Daisuke Kiso ruled the match in favour of Tatsumi, making her the new champion!
When Sakazaki recovered she shook Tatsumi’s hand and hugged her. Tatsumi got on the microphone and talked about all the times she challenged for the title and failed. There is a lot going on in the world but she hopes Tokyo Joshi can be a source of hope for everyone just like it is for her. She wants to defend the belt until the day she dies! Miu Watanabe congratulated her Daydream partner and then challenged her for the title. She grew so much from teaming with Tatsumi. This year she wants to surpass her. Tatsumi is happy that Watanabe is her first challenger and she wants the match to happen on the 11th February Korakuen Hall show. Backstage, Tatsumi repeated her goal to defend the belt until she dies. Except she can’t die because dragons are immortal. She’ll live for 100 years and even if she does end up retiring, it will be as the champion. Even then she will continue defending the belt for a century!
The Bakuretsu Sisters defeated Toyo University Tag in their first Princess Tag Team Titles defence. Yuki Aino blocked Yuki Kamifuku’s Fame Asser and held her up for Nodoka Tenma to complete the Bakuretsu Bulldog. Mahiro Kiryu tried to give Tenma the Spinebuster but it was blocked and turned into a Fall Away Slam. Tenma then hit the Killswitch for the pin. The champions were asked if it is more difficult defending the titles than it was winning them? Tenma wants to keep trying and find new ways to challenge herself. Aino said attacks are the best defence.
Coming up with a new move didn’t change a thing for Maki Itoh’s singles record against Miyu Yamashita. She locked in the Itoh Royal after countering the Crash Rabbit Heat but this time Yamashita kicked out of it. Itoh went for the Itoh Deluxe but Yamashita used Headbutts to avoid the move. Itoh Headbutted her back and got knocked down with a High Kick in return. Itoh gave Yamashita the middle finger when she stood back up so she got knocked out with the Skull Kick. Yamashita stuck out her fist to Itoh after the match. Everyone expected Itoh to stick out her middle finger again but she bumped fists instead. Yamashita said she doesn’t know what will happen this year but she would like to wrestle overseas as soon as possible if it is allowed.
To the surprise of no one, NEO Biishiki-gun continues to look down on their opponents. They had Sena Shiori beaten with the Tarte Tatin but Hikari Noa broke the pin. She tried to turn the match around until Sakisama got rid of her with an Apron PK. Mei Saint-Michel then trapped Shiori in the Saint-Michel submission hold to tap her out. Sakisama called today’s win a beautiful victory. Saint-Michel spoke about the Chinese zodiac and told her master this year is the year of the ox. Sakisama doesn’t care because the world is all about her. Saint-Michel then told her she found a restaurant that specializes in cow meat that they should try. It’s called Yoshinoya! Sakisama never heard of it but requested a reservation right away.
Raku convinced Aja Kong to join in the Goodnight Express. That’s the most important thing to know about this match. But give it up to their opponents, they all tried to step up to Kong. Watanabe attempted the Canadian Backbreaker but couldn’t get her up. Kong grabbed her metal can and hit both Watanabe & Nao Kakuta with it. Mirai Maiumi though blocked Kong’s attack and took her down with a Lariat. Mizuki got rid of Maiumi with a Diving Body Attack to the outside but no one was there to stop Watanabe pinning Raku with the Tear Drop.
One year ago, Shoko Nakajima beat Hyper Misao in a match where the loser had to change their name for one month. Revenge is sweet! In the rematch both women were supposed to be connected together with a red and white rope. That proved to be difficult so they tried to wrestle around it. 100 capsules were attached to the top ropes with 10 of them containing prizes. The first person to find two of the prizes will win. The fight degenerated into a ringside brawl, a tug of war, a kaiju toy fight and then just a scramble to find the capsule prizes. They kept finding empty capsule until they both got one a piece. Nakajima went for the 619 but Misao dodged it and tied up her opponent’s arms and legs with the rope. With Misao unable to move, Misao kept opening the remaining capsules until she finally found her second prize to win the match. Misao will announce Nakajima’s new name at the next show. Nakajima tried to protest the result because the rope kept breaking on them. The result stands. Nakajima hopes her new name will be something like Shin Shoko Nakajima instead of something ridiculous.
Yuna Manase stepped in to replace Marika Kobashi on short notice when Kobashi tested positive for the Coronavirus and was pulled from the show on New Year’s Day. Manase was able to take charge and win the match for her and Moka Miyamoto. After her time away, Manase did notice some growth from her opponents. She understands Pom Harajuku has come up with new ways to sneak her kicks on opponents. And Haruna Neko is on the offensive more than ever. Miyamoto was happy to be on the winning side at the start of the year. She will use this as motivation to win her first match by herself.
The debut match for Arisu Endo saw her put Suzume in a Camel Clutch. Suzume used the ropes to give Endo a Facebuster and then hit the Ring A Bell for the victory. Endo said she was nervous before the match but once she stood in the ring she enjoyed being there. She repeated her goal to become energetic and strong like Reika Saiki.
This was just going to be a list to tweet out but by the time they revealed the complete results I figured it would make a good blog post too. Tokyo Joshi Pro asked their Twitter followers to vote for the best TJPW matches of 2020. Each voter was allowed pick three matches in order from 1st to 3rd. 85 matches were nominated out of over 150 votes. The top listed matches will be included in the “BEST OF TJPW 2020” DVD being released later this year. A few matches were tied in the same spot with the same number of votes.
