1. King Of Street Wrestling – Round 1 – Kanagawa Big Japan Dojo: Abdullah Kobayashi defeated Sanshiro Takagi with the Bakachinga Elbow (13:02).
2. King Of Street Wrestling – Round 1 – Kanagawa Enoshima Beach: Hikaru Machida defeated Worawutnoi Keatchaiyong by Knockout with the Iai Punch (R3 1:20).
3. King Of Street Wrestling – Round 1 – Tokyo Shibuya Kitaya Park: Shunma Katsumata defeated Suzu Suzuki with the Sauna Trance Splash through the Table (17:18).
4. King Of Street Wrestling – Round 1 – Tokyo Shin-Kiba Studio Flamme: Chris Brookes defeated Onryo by Coffin Burial (15:43).

The first King Of Street Wrestling tournament kicked off with four matches in the opening round. Sanshiro Takagi visited the Big Japan dojo for his match against Abdullah Kobayashi. Takagi went looking around for his opponent but found Kosuke Sato instead. He thought Takagi was trespassing but couldn’t stop him from entering the kitchen and looking round the place. Kobayashi finally showed up. He was out grocery shopping and forgot the match was taking place today. To make up for it, Kobayashi offered Takagi a pint glass of raw eggs. Takagi couldn’t drink it while Kobayashi gulped his glass down. He then drank Takagi’s pint for him and the two began their match. It was just as much a tour of a dojo as both wrestlers were looking for weapons. Kobayashi briefly disappeared only to return dressed as Stan Hansen! He chased Takagi outside and Takagi tried to escape on the Dramatic Dream bike. He caught up to him by the river where BJW washes their ring canvas. Kobayashi hit Takagi over the head with a chair, knocking him down onto the canvas. He gave him the Bakachinga Elbow and pinned him right there to advance to the semi-final.

The next match was on a beach where a kickboxer fought a Muay Thai fighter. The kickboxer Hikaru Machida was accompanied by Thanomsak Toba while the Muay Thai fighter Worawutnoi Keatchaiyong had Makoto Oishi cheering him on. Keatchaiyong had the early advantage by clutching onto his opponent in Round 1. Machida broke through his defence in Round 2 with a Sole Butt, causing Keatchaiyong to flee towards a nearby jungle gym. Machida used the gym to swing into Keatchaiyong with a flying kick for more damage. The knockout came in Round 3 when Machida hit Keatchaiyong with the Iai Punch into the water. It was an instant knockout.

The young generation were up next with Shunma Katsumata and Suzu Suzuki fighting each other in Shibuya. Both of them brought weapons out to the public square and weren’t shy about committing violent acts in front of the confused bystanders. They stapled flyers onto each other’s heads, smashed a box of toy blocks to pieces and threw each other into nearby chairs before breaking them over each other’s heads. A ladder was set up next to a table and Katsumata threw Suzuki onto a pile of chairs Death Valley Driver style. He then climbed the ladder and put Suzuki through the table with the Sauna Trance Splash to win the match.

The final match was held in an empty photo studio where Chris Brookes went hunting for the ghost known as Onryo. He entered the venue armed with a proton gun to defend himself with. He was in for a wild ride starting with a masked figure appearing in the balcony to get his attention only for Onryo to attack him from behind. Onryo tried to hang him with a chain but Brookes broke free and attacked him back with the same chain. The two fought up to the rafters where Brookes put Onryo in the Octopus Stretch. Onryo found a cinder block up there and he broke it over Brookes’ stomach. Back down on ground floor, Brookes used a giant fan blowing flower petals to render Onryo’s powder attack useless. Brookes tied Onryo to a wheelchair when suddenly a nearby coffin opened up and Ram Kaichow rose out of it! She gave Brookes a Tornado DDT out of the coffin and began shooting fireworks at him. She freed Onryo but that gave Brookes time to attack her. Onryo dived onto Brookes and fought to throw him into the coffin. He countered the Praying Mantis Bomb with a Back Body Drop onto wooden boards. He then pressed a nearby button and picked up a board rigged to explode! Brookes fought him off, grabbed the board and hit Onryo with the explosion instead. That was enough for Brookes to carry him into the coffin and close it for the knockout victory. Brookes was the winner but he could see through the window lid of the coffin that there was nobody in there! The coffin was empty and the lights began to flash. Brookes ran off as the ghostly figures of Onryo and Kaichow stood behind him and stared.

The King Of Street Wrestling semi-finals will be broadcast on 16th April. Abdullah Kobayashi versus Shunma Katsumata will happen at a bath house in Kanagawa. Chris Brookes versus Hikaru Machida will take place at a campground in Shizuoka.

1. King Of Street Wrestling – Final: X Vs X

The King Of Street Wrestling 1st Round matches have been decided. Sanshiro Takagi came up with this tournament because nothing of its kind has ever existed before. There are tournaments for many kinds of wrestling and martial arts but not for DDT’s style of Falls Count Anywhere street wrestling. He is hopeful this tournament will be the first of many!

Every match will take place in a different location and environment so no match will be anything like the other. For example Sanshiro Takagi and Abdullah Kobayashi will fight each other in Big Japan’s own dojo. Kobayashi is literally defending his home turf! Takagi realizes this and will plan to take the match out to the street and into the shops nearby.

Hikaru Machida is a 34 year old kickboxer from Ome City, Tokyo with a 28-11-3 record. He claims his strongest move is the Iai Punch. His opponent is a Muay Thai fighter from Phuket, Thailand named Worawutnoi Keatchaiyong. His record is 122-63-5. He is also an instructor at the PHOENIX Fitness Gym in Tokyo. Three of his students had fought Machida before so there is a connection between these two fighters despite never meeting each other before today. Their match will take place in Enoshima Beach.

One of the participants is already feeling spooked. Chris Brookes is taking on Onryo from 666 and The Spirit World. During the tournament press conference Brookes was convinced he was seeing Onryo sitting at the table next to him but nobody noticed. Brookes then started choking as if Onryo was standing right there strangling him. Brookes recovered and kept his distance from everyone else the rest for the rest of the day. When he and Onryo do get together they will fight at photography studio in Shin-Kiba called Studio Flamme. It’s a warehouse ran by the video company Blaze Legion that opened up last April.

Last but not least the hip young wrestlers Shunma Katsumata and Suzu Suzuki will face off at Kitaya Park in Shibuya. Suzuki called Katsumata an old man because he is 10 years older than her. Katsumata denies there being an age difference and is confident his experience in street wrestling matches will lead him to victory.

GANBARE☆PRO “RUMBLEFISH 2021” Results

March 21, 2021

GANBARE☆PRO “RUMBLEFISH 2021”, 21/03/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
108 Fans

1. THE HALFEE Vs Team MAKAI: Asuka & Hagane Shinno defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Shu Sakurai when Asuka pinned Sakurai with the ASKA FANTASY (10:35).
2. Spring HARU Vs Manase Wasshoi: Yuna Manase & Ayumi Hayashi defeated Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE when Manase pinned HARUKAZE with the Suzuki Dynamic (7:58).
3. Shota’s Independent Journey Vol. 2: Onryo defeated Shota with the Onryo Clutch (9:50).
4. STOP THE Hidaka! Special Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Ikuto Hidaka & Yasu Urano when Iwasaki pinned Urano with the Vertical Drop Reverse DDT (17:26).
5. Special 6-Man Tag Just Before Korakuen: Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari & Shunma Katsumata defeated Takashi Sasaki, Shigehiro Irie & SAGAT when Ohka pinned SAGAT with the Flame Spear (17:46).

It’s just over two weeks away until Ganbare☆Pro returns to Korakuen Hall. Today’s go home show saw Ken Ohka run wild with help from Yumehito Imanari & Shunma Katsumata. Ohka went toe to toe with Takashi Sasaki then his team worked over on SAGAT. He took out Sasaki with the Flame Spear then hit the same move on SAGAT until he got the win. Ohka told Sasaki that this isn’t over because he wasn’t able to directly beat him today. His desire to beat Sasaki in a Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match has grown stronger! Sasaki said Ohka has a history of running away while he is hungry to go full force in the Lighttube Death Match. It’s not enough for Ohka to just be at Korakuen Hall, he must get the courage to meet Sasaki face to face!

Imanari said his target for the match was Shigehiro Irie because he hasn’t forgotten the match they had in Korakuen last October. Imanari wants to win Irie’s respect so he asked him to team with Pocchari World Order and challenge for the GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles! Irie admitted he likes pocchari women so he’s happy to team with “The Outsider” Yumehito Imanari and “Big Sexy” Yuna Manase! This now makes him “Hollywood” Shigehiro Irie of the pWo!

At last something from Ganpro has slowed down Ikuto Hidaka’s momentum. Kouki Iwasaki pulled off the hot tag from Keisuke Ishii and rid of Hidaka with the Capture Suplex. He then pinned Yasu Urano with the Vertical Drop Reverse DDT to win the match. He wasn’t convinced Hidaka was fighting at full effort though. The two agreed to have a singles match against each other at the 7th April Korakuen show. Iwasaki called Hidaka the finest prey to hunt.

If you’ve seen Onryo before then you will be familiar with the bag of tricks he used against Shota. The “ectoplasm “powder shaking off his body got in Shota’s way. Onryo also grabbed the referee’s hand to prevent a three count pin after Shota hit the Frog Splash. Shota later grabbed Onryo’s fist, thinking he was holding powder to throw at him. Onryo opened his hands to show nothing was in it, then shook the ectoplasm out of his hair again to blind Shota and pin him with the Onryo Clutch.

A mixed tag team tournament will be held on the 1st and 8th of May.

6. DDT Extreme Title – Kids Room Death Match 37 (Sauna) Count Edition: Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs MAO

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.

BOYZ “(BRAND NEW) BOYZ α -HINAMATSURI EDITION-”, 03/03/2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “CHANGE THE WIND DIRECTION”, 06/03/2021
Tokyo Nerima coconeri Hall

2. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Semi Final: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
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.

8. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
9. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
10. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
11. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X

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.

DDT “DAY DREAM BELIEVER 2021”, 14/03/2021
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.

GANBARE☆PRO “RUMBLEFISH 2021”, 21/03/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. THE HALFEE Vs Team MAKAI: Shuichiro Katsumura & Shu Sakurai Vs Asuka & Hagane Shinno
2. Special 6-Man Tag Just Before Korakuen: Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Takashi Sasaki, Shigehiro Irie & SAGAT
3. Shota’s Independent Journey Vol. 2: Shota Vs Onryo
4. Spring HARU Vs Manase Wasshoi: Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE Vs Yuna Manase & Ayumi Hayashi
5. STOP THE Hidaka! Special Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Ikuto Hidaka & Yasu Urano

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.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 01/04/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Hardcore Match: Hikari Noa Vs Rina Yamashita

Tokyo Joshi wants to challenge their roster to new possibilities with a series of shorter experimental shows held in front of a small audience. The first of these will be main evented by Hikari Noa and Rina Yamashita in a Hardcore Match! Noa has been wanting to do hardcore wrestling for ages and Rina was the first person she suggested as her opponent. She wants to learn as much hardcore wrestling as she can from her while in return introduce Rina to TJPW.

GANBARE☆PRO “BAD COMMUNICATION 2021”, 07/04/2021

Two promotion representatives face off in the main event. It’s Ken Ohka from Ganpro against Takashi Sasaki from FREEDOMS. Ohka wants to go one step further after he finally defeated The Aka Rangers and he is willing to go through lighttubes to do it!

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.

Wrestlers announced to appear include Moeka Haruhi, Minoru Fujita, Yasu Urano, Miyuki Takase and Ayumi Hayashi.

2. Special Pinch Hitter Match: Saki defeated Hikaru Shimizu with the Kawaii Buster (9:21).
3. Mysterious Moment! India And Panda Come Together! Special Tag Match!: Yukihiro Abe & Chikara defeated Baliyan Akki & J-Soul Pandita III IV when Abe pinned Pandita with the Kamigoye (Permission Acquired) (9:23).
4. Ganbare, Ihashi! Continue Showing It! The “U” Of Ihashi: Nobuhiro Tsurumaki defeated Gota Ihashi with a Cross Heel Hold (9:34).
5. Student Pro Wrestler Returns: MEN’S Teioh & Onryo defeated Shota & Shinichiro Tominaga when Teioh pinned Tominaga with the Tokai Special (17:36).
6. Ganpuro Family Vs Katsumura-gun 6-Man Tag Team Elimination Match: Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari & Katsumi Oribe defeated Shuichiro Katsumura, Takeshi Okada & Black Ribera (19:38).
6a. Katsumi Oribe eliminated Black Ribera by Ring Out (10:23).
6b. Shuichiro Katsumura eliminated Katsumi Oribe with the Ninja Choke (12:23).
6c. Ken Ohka and Shuichiro Katsumura eliminated each other by Double Ring Out (17:38).
6d. Yumehito Imanari eliminated Takeshi Okada with the Chubby Knee (19:38).

Yumehito Imanari was the hero of the day for Ganbare☆Wrestling as they beat Katsumura-gun in an Elimination Match. The tricky Black Ribera was eliminated first when Katsumi Oribe blocked his Hurricanrana to the apron and lifted him out of the ring. Shuichiro Katsumura evened the score by choking out Oribe with the Ninja Choke. Katsumura and Ken Ohka eliminated each other when they fought on the apron and Imanari knocked both of them to the floor. That left Imanari alone against Takeshi Okada. Katsumura-gun tried to interfere but Imanari hit the Chubby Knee kick and got the winning pinfall. Okada demanded to continue and Imanari challenged him to a match on 28th April.

The Tokai Special is MEN’S Teioh and Onryo doing T-Pose Power Bombs.

Nobuhiro Tsurumaki encouraged Gota Ihashi to continue wrestling. He’s been doing this for twenty years and no bad matches have ever stopped him.

J-Soul Pandita III IV wore a Tiger Jeet Singh style turban to mark the occasion of him teaming with Baliyan Akki. A landmark event in the relationship between India and wherever on earth Pandita is from. Pandita ruined the moment by attacking his opponents with an umbrella but Yukihiro Abe & Chikara stopped him with a Sling Blade, Sabre Chops and the Kamigoye.

Saki and Hikaru Shimizu were brought in as “pinch hitters” for the women’s match because HARUKAZE was away on a family vacation.

The rookie Shuhei Washida was put through the ringer by Tomomitsu Matsunaga. When they were fighting outside the ring Matsunaga threw Washida’s knee into a wall the targeted it for the rest of the match. Matsunaga then finished off a tired Washida with a Half Crab.


DDT Schedule For January

DDT “DOTONBORI STORY 8”, 09/01/2011
Osaka Minami Move On Arena

1. New Year Lottery Battle Royal: Contestants So Far – Hideki Shiota
2. Shoichi Uchida Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. GENTARO & Yasu Urano Vs MIKAMI & Yukihiro Abe
4. HARASHIMA Vs Tanomusaku Toba
5. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs KUDO & MIYAWAKI
6. Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie
7. Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki & Hikaru Sato Vs Takao Soma, Michael Nakazawa & Tomimitsu Matsunaga

Looks like Hikaru Sato has been kicked out of the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation. The group was taken over by Takao Soma when he turned heel at “NON-FIX 12.1“. Danshoku Dino will be trying to make his own version of the MEN’s Club work by teaming with Makoto Oishi again. Last time round Oishi wasn’t so positive about the idea. It’s been a while since I’ve seen MIYAWAKI wrestle. Will the scream of “Death Penalty” be echoed in the Move On Arena?

DDT “NEW YEAR SUPER DODON WAVE! IN NAGOYA 2011”, 16/01/2011
Kanayama Asunal Hall

1. Kota Ibushi, HARASHIMA & Mr. #6 Vs Takao Soma, Michael Nakazawa & Tomimitsu Matsunaga
2. Umemura Personal Computer School Offer Match: Kenny Omega Vs Danshoku Dino
3. KO-D Tag Team Title: Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs MIKAMI & Onryo

The dark spirit Onryo of FMW fame popped into DDT a couple of days ago to team with MIKAMI. Now they have a shot at the KO-D Tag Team Champions Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki, aka FROM THE NORTHERN COUNTRY. Maybe MIKAMI will turn into something like Onryo to help them win the belts. You can bet Mr. #6 hasn’t forgotten about the time when the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation won the Trios Triple Crown from him a few months back. Hell hath no fury like an 8 year old scorned.
