TJPW’s 1st Hardcore Match Tomorrow, Dieno’s Middle Finger To Akiyama, Takao Wants The “Weak” Champion

March 31, 2021

Everything should be fine but if the blog suddenly goes quiet for a few days in April it’s because WordPress hid the classic editor function from me again and I would rather throw my laptop out the window than learn to use whatever the hell that Block post format is.

Hikari Noa finally gets to take part in a Hardcore match, the first of its kind in TJPW. Let’s just hope Rina Yamashita doesn’t go wild with the piercing spots.

0. Under Match: Hideki Okatani Vs Toui Kojima

5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Yuji Okabayashi
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Danshoku Dieno

A press conference was held yesterday regarding the contract signings for the two title matches at the next Korakuen Hall show. Danshoku Dieno attended wearing his wrestling gear and spoke about the last time he was in a KO-D Openweight Title match. It was when he lost the title to Daisuke Sasaki at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2018”. At one point during that match Dieno fought in the ring completely naked and he remembers Jun Akiyama was one of the wrestlers outside of DDT who got angry with him at the time. Akiyama argues that EVERYONE was angry at Dieno over it. When people get angry at Dieno, he can’t help but let out his feelings and give people the middle finger if they don’t like what he’s all about. That’s why he stuck up his middle fingers to Akiyama at the end of the last Korakuen show. Akiyama understands how much DDT means to Dieno and vice versa but he will not forgive him for that behavior. He sees DDT fans on social media are cheering for Dieno to win the KO-D Title one more time, but Akiyama is going to be realistic with them. A grown man in a pink T-shirt shouldn’t be giving middle fingers to people especially for a company with a growing young roster on shows that could potentially be watched by children. He’s going to break the fingers off so Dieno can’t do that anymore.

Kazusada Higuchi is still reeling over losing to Akiyama. He doesn’t like Akiyama Vs Dieno main eventing the show over Eruption defending the KO-D Tag Team Titles against Smile Pissari. Meanwhile Yukio Sakaguchi is confused over why Eruption have been entered into the Ultimate Tag League 2021 when they are the champions. Hisaya Imabayashi explained the tournament is meant to determine the strongest tag team in DDT so it should also involve the tag champions. Sakaguchi disagrees, explaining that the strongest are already the champions and the next strongest team should come and challenge them. He also complained about having to defend the titles against someone from outside DDT. Higuchi added that HARASHIMA changes tag team partners too much. The challengers have a much more positive attitude going into the match. HARASHIMA thinks he and Yuji Okabayashi can light up the wrestling by winning the tag titles. Okabayashi wants to leave Korakuen with a smile on his face and the belts around him and HARASHIMA.

DDT “MAX BUMP 2021”, 04/05/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Soma Takao

Didn’t take long for a new challenger to make himself known. Soma Takao crashed the press conference to complain about having to wrestle Hideki Okatani at the 24th Anniversary show. He doesn’t want to fight weak guys, he wants to fight for more championships. He thinks Yuki Ueno is a weak champion who only defends the DDT UNIVERSAL Title against other weak wrestlers. Ueno has never beaten Takao with his most recent defeat to him happening at the D-Ou Grand Prix. He later accepted the challenge.

March 21, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SPRING TOUR ’21 ~THE BULLET~”, 21/03/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
110 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Mizuki defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Cutie Special (7:56).
2. Nao Kakuta, Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko defeated Hikari Noa, Mahiro Kiryu & Sena Shiori when Kakuta pinned Shiori with the Shiden Kai (9:26).
3. 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Yuka Sakazaki and Suzume when Nakajima pinned Suzume with the Northern Lights Suplex (11:39).

5. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Miyu Yamashita & Mirai Maiumi when Tatsumi submitted Maiumi with the Strangle Dragon Sleeper (13:57).

With her next Princess Of Princess Title challenger picked, Rika Tatsumi went to work preparing for the title defence in April. Today’s warmup match involved Tatsumi facing Maki Itoh’s tag partner, Miyu Yamashita. She was taken out with the Daydream Eternity and the match came down to Tatsumi against Mirai Maiumi. Hip Attacks were used to set up the Dragon Sleeper for a Daydream win. After the match, Tatsumi said Itoh has been all over the news lately from wrestling in America to having her Twitter hacked. While that is going on, Tatsumi is showing everyone what Tokyo Joshi Pro is all about. She and Miu Watanabe promised to continue working hard together.

The 3 Way Match gave Yuka Sakazaki and Shoko Nakajima a chance to wrestle each other again for the first time in a while. Suzume couldn’t get a look in and felt like a third wheel for the opening exchanges. When she finally did get involved, Sakazaki & Nakajima took the opportunity to bring back some of their Miraclians spots against her.

Team Red: Shoko Nakajima, Nodoka Tenma, Yuka Sakazaki, Nao Kakuta, Marika Kobashi, Raku, Pom Harajuku, Mirai Maiumi, Suzume, Sena Shiori & Moka Miyamoto

Team White: Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Kamifuku, Yuki Aino, Miyu Yamashita, Mizuki, Hyper Misao, Miu Watanabe, Hikari Noa, Haruna Neko, Mahiro Kiryu & Arisu Endo

Two teams went into battle to win the much desired all you can eat meal from Genghis Khan Kirishima. Team Red were led by Shoko Nakajima while Team White was captained by Rika Tatsumi. They cheered on their teammates throughout the 11 match challenge while Shota and Tetsuya Koda did commentary.

Nakajima went first for her team and defeated Mahiro Kiryu in the opening match. 2 Count Rules meant everybody was kept on their toes and looking for quick pins. Nakajima proved that by using a Hurricanrana to win.

Team Red then went 2-0 when Pom Harajuku beat Arisu Endo. The rookie tried to capitalise from a missed Pom Do Justice but Harajuku dodged her follow up and got her finisher the second time for the pin.

HikaShio were pitted against each other with both Hikari Noa and Sena Shiori determined to win. Noa got the better of her tag partner with a Rotating Leg Fold cradle (I thought she had a name for that, the Saigo No Bansan or something?).

A karate confrontation was up next when Miyu Yamashita faced Moka Miyamoto. After some back and forth sparring, Yamashita won with the Skull Kick, tying the scored at 2-2.

The first of several time limit draws started with Mirai Maiumi Vs Hyper Misao. But before that happened, Misao came out wearing another mask over her own. She claimed to be an incarnation of the being that controls the masks of all heroes and it had taken over Misao’s body to search for a once in a century talent. She believes Maiumi is that person and she offered her a superhero mask that contained the spirits of all the past heroes. Maiumi fell for the trick and Misao attacked her, revealing she isn’t being possessed at all. The five minutes expired while Mirai was trying to get her opponent in the Miramare. She went back to the move when the match restarted but Misao rolled on top of her for the sudden death 1 Count Pin to win.

The restaurant sponsoring the show specializes in lamb meat so Miu Watanabe spent last night counting sheep in bed so she could win with her head full of sheep. Marika Kobashi though kicked out of a Falling Canadian Backbreaker at one and fought Watanabe to a time limit draw. Kobashi then surprised Watanabe with a Cradle to quickly win during extra time. After six matches the show was at its halfway point and the captains did quick interviews about the results so far. It was 3-3 so still all to play for.

The Raku Vs Yuki Aino match began with Raku inviting Aino to lie down next to her for the Good Night Express. It also caused the referee to lie down too. When it came to actually wrestling, Aino pinned Raku with the Side Suplex.

Yuki Kamifuku is confused over why Nao Kakuta’s nickname is “Rat Chaser”. Kakuta explained that it’s not her nickname but her catchphrase. Also, Kakuta has been here for four months already and everyone has accepted her except for one person, Yuki Kamifuku! She was determined to beat her today even is Kamifuku is a champion. The two fought tooth and nail with each other, lasting the full five minutes. In overtime, Kakuta gouged Kamifuku’s eyes from behind and pinned her with a School Boy for the upset.

Mizuki described her match with Nodoka Tenma like it was a rabbit against a raccoon. She Dropkicked Tenma out of the ring then hit a Diving Body Press out of the ring. Tenma tried to do the Killswitch but Mizuki countered it into the Cutie Special for the pinfall.

With two matches left, Team White had a chance to win the challenge early if Haruna Neko could beat Yuka Sakazaki. Luckily for Team Red, Sakazaki outsmarted Neko and won with the Magical Merry-Go-Round.

With the score tied at 5-5 it was all on the line in the final match. Team White captain Tatsumi fought against Suzume, who knew she now had a lot of responsibility on her shoulders. She went for the win but couldn’t get Tatsumi pinned for long enough. Time ran out and the last match went into overtime. Suzume kicked out of a Hip Attack before the 1 Count but she was done for when Tatsumi hit a Sliding Hip attack for the victory.

Team White were declared the winners and given the meal voucher by Koda. Tatsumi wanted to go eat with Mizuki straight away but then said all of Team White should go together to celebrate. Nakajima complained about the results and told Koda that Suzume deserves something for her performance. He should do something before Nakajima reveals what secret Maria Makino merchandise Koda keeps in his room. Koda stopped her and said everyone who wrestled today deserves a meal so he will treat everyone to lunch at Genghis Khan Kirishima!


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “CHANGE THE WIND DIRECTION” Results

March 6, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “CHANGE THE WIND DIRECTION”, 06/03/2021
Tokyo Nerima coconeri Hall
208 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Semi Final: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori when Saint-Michel submitted Shiori with the Saint-Michel (11:42).
2. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Semi Final: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao when Yamashita pinned Misao with the Attitude Adjustment (15:02).
3. Nao Kakuta, Marika Kobashi, Raku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Mirai Maiumi, Suzume, Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo when Kakuta pinned Endo with the Shiden Kai (10:55).
4. 3 Way Match: Yuki Kamifuku defeated Mizuki and Haruna Neko when Kamifuku pinned Neko with the Fame Asser (8:37).
5. Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Yuka Sakazaki defeated Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku when Tenma pinned Harajuku with the Killswitch (13:09).
6. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh when Sakisama pinned Yamashita with the Academy Award (14:05).

NEO Biishiki-gun wins the first “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament! It was a close one in the final against 121000000. They took it down towards two against one when Sakisama got rid of Maki Itoh with an Apron PK. Miyu Yamashita almost grabbed victory from the jaws of defeat when she hit Sakisama with the Skull Kick then had her pinned with a German Suplex. Mei Saint-Michel broke the pin with a Double Knee Drop to Yamashita and Sakisama was the first back to her feet. She hit the Academy Award to the back of Yamashita’s head for a nearfall then did the move again from the front to win the final.

When NEO Biishiki-gun were given their trophies, Saint-Michel was thrilled to receive an identical prize that her master gets. Sakisama doesn’t care about the trophies but if her maid is so happy to have a matching item then there is something better out there they should get. Sakisama now want the Princess Tag Team Titles! She called out The Bakuretsu Sisters to sell the belts to her but they refused. Saint-Michel then had a tug of war with Nodoka Tenma over a belt but she lost and was thrown to the canvas. She told NEO Biishiki-gun that if they want the titles then they should win them properly. A title match was made for the next Korakuen Hall show on 17th April. Yuki Aino said that they have to beat NEO Biishiki-gun because they couldn’t do it the last time they had a title match when Sakisama and her partner were the champions.

Backstage after the show, Yamashita apologized to Itoh for losing. Itoh was also sorry because Yamashita always supported her but she couldn’t do the same today. Itoh kept thanking Yamashita for teaming with her then started talking about becoming stronger when she comes back. Yamashita was confused and asked if this was the end of their team but Itoh wouldn’t answer her directly. She only said when she comes back, she will become even stronger…

The semi finals saw NEO Biishiki-gun eliminate HikaShio in a rematch from 4th Janaury and 121000000 beat Kyoraku Kyomei. A disappointed Sena Shiori thought her team with Hikari Noa had gotten stronger but they found out it wasn’t strong enough. Noa remembers chasing after Natsumi Maki when they were a tag team and she learned you cannot get stronger just by doing that. So that’s the lesson Shiori should learn from today. They will continue teaming together so they can become equals. Hyper Misao promised to fight fair but instead used her cloak as a weapon against Yamashita. However she couldn’t beat Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima was held in place with the Itoh Special.

Mizuki got blinded by Haruna Neko during the 3 Way Match after Neko scratched her in the eyes. She continued trying to fight but missed dives and tangled with other people not wrestling in the match by mistake. She ended up falling outside the ring and wrestling with Mahiro Kiryu while Yuki Kamifuku beat Neko.

The DDT Extreme Title will be defended in a Kids Room Death Match. Fitting given how much Shunma Katsumata and MAO act like kids whenever they fight each other. You can win with a normal 3 count but you can also win when all of your 1 and 2 counts add up to a total score of 37 (which in Japanese kind of sounds like Sauna). No rope breaks are allowed and weapons are permitted except those considered by the referee to be particularly dangerous.

Yuki Ueno and Yusuke Okada have to be split apart and put on opposite teams again.

3. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: X & X Vs X & X

We’re down to four teams: NEO Biishiki-gun, HikaShio, 121000000 and Kyoraku Kyomei. Ever since Sakisama returned to Tokyo Joshi Pro for her latest campaign, Sena Shiori has been a regular opponent for her in what has been a one sided feud so far. The other side of the bracket involves two teams both with massive momentum behind them.

The teams will now consist of 11 participants instead of 12 because Maki Itoh has a scheduling conflict and cannot be on the show. I have no inkling of what the schedule clash is so you’re not getting any speculation here. Team White is captained by Rika Tatsumi and Team Red has Shoko Nakajima as their captain. A lottery will determine who from the roster will be on which team. Each match has a 5 minute time limit and 2 Count pins. If the time expires then 1 Count sudden death overtime begins to determine the winner. The team with the most wins at the end gets the Genghis Khan Kirishima prize voucher.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Junretsu Vs Eruption!: Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi
2. DDT UNIVERSAL TITLE: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Yusuke Okada

Okada has stepped up to Ueno, jealous of the DDT UNIVERSAL Champion for being more successful and better looking than him. There’s still a sense of friendly competition going on between them but that could get thrown out the window if the match gets heated.

It looks like Ikuto Hidaka has virtually swept the Ganbare☆Pro roster but Kouki Iwasaki wants another shot at him. They last fought each other in a singles match back in November.

Onryo is a big step up from Shota’s last opponent that’s for sure.

The new GWC 6-Man Tag Team Champions have decided to hold off on defending the belts until this show. It was Shinichiro Tominaga’s idea because he does not want to risk losing the titles before they make it to Korakuen Hall.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2021 WINTER ~LOVERS~”, 21/02/2021
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall
163 Fans – No Vacancy

1. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Noa pinned Kiryu with the Blizzard Suplex (8:55).
2. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Mirai Maiumi & Suzume when Saint-Michel submitted Suzume with the Saint-Michel (14:28).
3. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo defeated Marika Kobashi, Raku, Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko when Sakazaki pinned Harajuku with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (8:43).
4. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe when Itoh submitted Tatsumi with the Modified Itoh Special (13:53).
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino when Nakajima pinned Tenma with the Diving Senton (14:09).

Two rounds in and the big guns of the tournament have mostly all fallen. The Bakuretsu Sisters were eliminated by Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao in a rematch of the recent Princess Tag Team Titles defence. Misao saved her partner from the Killswitch and got rid of Yuki Aino with the Hipami Returns. That gave Nakajima the opening to pin Nodoka Tenma with the Diving Senton. Nakajima still regrets failing to win the Tag Titles and owes a debt to Misao over it so they’re aiming to win the tournament! Also Nakajima noticed that she is moving faster and lighter around the ring than she has been for the last month. Maybe being a superhero for a month worked out for her after all. The Sisters are obviously disappointed over losing and said they will wait at the top of the mountain for the eventual tournament winners. They’ll take the lift up there while everyone else is climbing after them.

Daydream were also eliminated in an upset but the result might be a sign of an upcoming shift in power at Tokyo Joshi Pro. The team of Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh is not a new pairing and their teamwork was something Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe didn’t anticipate. Itoh was lifted up for the Daydream Eternity but Yamashita saved her and dropped Tatsumi face first into Itoh’s head before German Suplexing her. Itoh then took over with a Modified Itoh Special and shockingly made Tatsumi tap out! Backstage, Yamashita & Itoh announced they now have a tag team name. From today forward they are 121000000 (One To Million)! Itoh explained that they may not be able to win on their own, but together they are both a million times stronger. Yamashita came up with other names but Itoh ignored her messages and came up with 121000000 after talking with Yuki Kamifuku.

Whatever bad omen Sakisama sensed yesterday doesn’t have anything to do with NEO Biishiki-gun it seems. They had no problem beating BeeStar today. Mirai Maiumi & Suzume are so insignificant to Sakisama that she only remembers them by their colours, blue and yellow. She also isn’t impressed that the tournament winners will get a trophy because she can buy trophies whenever she wants. She wants a victory parade instead.

Last but not least, Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori made it to the semi-finals over Toyo University Tag. Shiori said her bond with Noa is strong which is why their team works. Kamifuku teased Mahiro Kiryu backstage for losing the fall. She said Kiryu lied to her about wanting to win today. She threatened to leave her unless she promises not to lie to her again and also buy her lunch at the school cafeteria. Only then will they make up.

The semi-final lottery was held later in the evening for the final rounds happening on 6th March. The first semi-final is NEO Biishiki-gun Vs Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori (team name HikaShio). The other is 121000000 Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (team name Kyoraku Kyomei).

A new series of events called “TJPW INSPIRATION” will begin on 1st April. The concept will be an experimental show held every couple of months with a small roster being challenged with new possibilities. The main event of the first show will be Hikari Noa versus freelancer Rina Yamashita in a Hardcore Match! Noa wants to absorb everything that Yamashita throws at her. She also wants Yamashita to go to Tokyo Joshi proper so this might not be a one time appearance.

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.


DDT “CHRIS BROOKES PRODUCE SHOW 2 – WRESTLE BUTOKAN★DREAM” Results

February 7, 2021

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

1. Chris Brookes & Miyu Yamashita defeated Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata when Brookes pinned Katsumata with the Praying Mantis Bomb (21:25).
2. ROBOT Vs HERO: Mecha Mummy Vs Hyper Misao ended in a No Contest (8:53).
3. Konosuke Takeshita defeated Baliyan Akki with the German Suplex (16:48).

Just like last time, almost the entire show is already in English so I don’t know what you’re doing here. But don’t go, here’s a write up anyway! The show began with “CDK” walking out for a welcoming introduction. “Masahiro Takanashi” talked to the camera while “Chris Brookes” stood beside him flipping up the two fingers. The real CDK entered the ring behind them and scared “Brookes” off while “Takanashi” was still talking. The real Chris Brookes asked Shota what he was doing and Shota accused the real Masahiro Takanashi of being fake. Takanashi grabbed Shota by the nose and knocked him out with a punch. CDK then introduced the show properly.

Backstage the DDT Sauna Club declared their love for saunas in English. Brookes said he wants revenge on both of his opponents today. He wants revenge on Yuki Ueno for taking the DDT UNIVERSAL Title from him and he wants revenge on Shunma Katsumata for that time he got him banned from Twitter. His tag partner today Miyu Yamashita only had one thing to say about the upcoming match. “Don’t touch my chin!!” The Sauna Club ignored her warning with Ueno grabbing Yamashita in a Chinlock and Katsumata giving her a Chincrusher. Brookes cut him off with a Slingshot Cutter and Yamashita fired back with the Crash Rabbit Heat. She would have pinned Katsumata if Ueno didn’t break it up in time. Brookes got rid of Ueno outside the ring with a Running Knee Strike and tagged in. Yamashita hit Katsumata with the Skull Kick and Brookes immediately dropped him with the Praying Mantis Bomb to win the match.

The superhero Hyper Misao was in a Falls Count Anywhere match but she was confused over what her opponent was. What is a Mecha Mummy? It is probably an evil monster so she must kill it. Mecha Mummy did not give a pre-match comment. It only shook. In the ring, Mummy hit Misao with Rocket Punches and then attacked her with the Drill. Misao stalled Mummy with a spray attack so she could escape backstage to regroup. After a transformation, Misao returned to the ring as Mecha Pami! She attacked Mummy with her own drills then chased the robot around ringside on the Hyper Mobile. She found a Holy Sword at ringside but Mummy blinded her with powder when she tried to use it. Mummy connected the Jet Scrambler to its back to hit a Diving Attack for a nearfall. Misao escaped the ring again only to get both the Jet Scrambler and Rocket Fist thrown at her. The two fighters dueled at the entrance way and Pami threw Mummy into a nearby castle of chairs. Desperate, Pami grabbed two bottles of water knowing it was Mummy’s weakness. However, Pami was now a Mecha too so it was also her weakness. They both poured water over each other and short circuited. As smoke flowed through the arena from the two motionless robots, Daisuke Kiso called off the match.

When the risk of exploding mechas went away, it was time for the main event. It’s been a while since Baliyan Akki last wrestled on a DDT related show. He was motivated to do his best against Konosuke Takeshita. In return, Takeshita told Akki to bring it. There were big moves thrown when Takeshita gave Akki a Brainbuster on the entrance stage. Akki later hit the Firebird Splash for a two count. He tried to outmaneuver his opponent, flipping out of a German Suplex to set up a Modified La Magistral for another nearfall. But when Takeshita cut Akki off with the Blue Thunder Bomb, the end was near. Akki fired up but Takeshita hit the Zahi knee strike and pinned him with the German Suplex. The two wrestlers praised each other for a good match afterwards.

After the matches were over and everyone cooled down, some of the wrestlers sat down with Brookes and Mr. HAKU in the ring for post-show interviews. Katsumata, Yamashita and Misao took part so they could get the chance to talk to their overseas fans in English. Brookes was happy with the card that was put together because it was interesting and different. He wanted Katsumata and Yamashita on the card because they were on the first produced show. Drew Parker was unavailable because of a scheduling conflict. Ueno was brought in as a logical choice to be Katsumata’s tag partner. Also because Brookes wanted to see Yamashita kick Ueno in the head. Misao assured everyone she is not dead, her mecha form just broke down. Brookes remembered Mecha Mummy from the early days of DDT’s infamy on the internet and wanted to see Misao fight it because she is just as weird. For the main event, Brookes wanted to do Takeshita Vs Akki on the first show but couldn’t. He hates Akki but cannot deny he had a great 2020 so when he got the chance to produce a second show the match was definitely going to happen this time. Brookes and Katsumata then argued over the Twitter ban again. Katsumata apologised and Brookes joked he would be traded to Gake no Fuchi Joshi so Brookes won’t have to wrestle there anymore. For the 3rd produce show, Brookes wants to book everyone who was on this show against Katsumata in an 8 Vs 1 10,000 Thumbtacks Death Match.
