April 18, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 18/04/2026
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi
222 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Kakeru Sekiguchi & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Kira Summer & Chika Nanase when Kiryu pinned Nanase with the Spinebuster (11:25).
2. Mifu Ashida defeated Papillon Akemi with the German Suplex (12:34).
3. Mei Suruga defeated Ren Konatsu with the Gâteau Invisible (11:08).
4. Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro defeated Rika Tatsumi & Shion Kanzaki when Endo pinned Kanzaki with the Ju no Okite (18:32).

While the majority of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster went over to America, those who remained in Japan held their own show, the next edition of the “TJPW INSPIRATION” series of shorter wrestling events that are a little bit different than usual. In the main event Rika Tatsumi took a break to go get food for herself & Shion Kanzaki. They also force fed their opponents with the food. Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro launched a successful comeback with Kazashiro diving onto the other team and Endo then finishing off Kanzaki with the Ju no Okite. After the match, Kazashiro sent out a message of thanks to Suzume for successfully defending the International Princess Title in America. She owes so much of her career to Suzume which is why she wanted her to be the champion for her 4th May title shot. Endo then announced that she wants to be the next person to challenge Yuki Arai for the Princess Of Princess Title! She actually called Arai backstage after the show to challenge her directly after figuring out it was 10pm over in Las Vegas so she should still be awake. Arai answered the call, confirmed she watched the show on Wrestle Universe and accepted Arai’s challenge!

Last year Mei Suruga and Ren Konatsu got to wrestle each other in a tag match at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI” but today was their first singles match against each other. Suruga refused to shake Konatsu’s hand before the match and then got into a pose-off to see who is cuter. She then clipped off the toy sheep from Konatsu’s belt to taunt her further. Konatsu tried to fight back but missed the Aries Comet, allowing Suruga to trap her in the Gâteau Invisible and make her tap out. Suruga said she had so much fun today and was bursting with motivation because whenever the TJPW roster travels overseas, it feels like Japan is left entrusted to wrestlers like herself. She thinks Konatsu has a lot of room for growth so she hopes they can wrestle each other more and more. She is also excited to form “The Ultimate Sister Trio” of herself, Mizuki & Uta Takami at the 4th May Korakuen Hall show. Konatsu said she aimed to bite the “big apple” right down to her core but instead it was herself who was eaten alive today.

Mifu Ashida’s cheerleading talents convinced Papillon Akemi to give it a go during their match. It eventually became a distraction so they went back to wrestling each other. Akemi lost focus and became vulnerable to Ashida doing the German Suplex to get the victory.

Twin magic prevailed in the opener! Kakeru Sekiguchi & Mahiro Kiryu kept finding ways to use their similar likenesses in order to confuse Kira Summer & Chika Nanase into forgetting who was who. Not every plan worked but the confusion led to Nanase accidentally knocking down Summer with a missed attack. Sekiguchi then sent Nanase into Kiryu’s way for the Spinebuster to end the match.

DGC Final Up For Grabs, Sasadango’s Sumo Hall Check Up, Pokotan Gets Some Sauna Friends

February 6, 2026

DDT “IMAIKE SAMBA 2026”, 07/02/2026
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. Takeshi Masada & Hinata Kasai Vs Yuya Koroku & Yuni
2. Special Single Match: KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Antonio Honda
3. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul Vs Jun Akiyama, Akito & Junta Miyawaki
4. Imaike Rumble 2026: Yuki Ueno Vs MAO Vs HARASHIMA Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Chris Brookes Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yukio Naya Vs Ilusion Vs Pokotan
5. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: To-y (3) Vs Daichi Sato (4)
6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: Yuki Ishida (3) Vs Kazuma Sumi (4)

The last matchdays for the D GENERATIONS CUP have several wrestlers still in the running to reach the final. In the A Block Kazuma Sumi just needs to win his match to win the group. Daichi Sato can get there if he wins and Sumi doesn’t. To-y and Yuki Ishida both need to win and even then that will result in a sudden death playoff between the two because they tied against each other earlier in the tournament.

DDT “IMAIKE FIGHT FEVER 2026”, 08/02/2026
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Rukiya (4) Vs Hinata Kasai (0)
2. HARASHIMA & Yuni Vs Hideki Okatani & Ilusion
3. Danshoku Dieno & Kazuma Sumi Vs Akito & Kazuki Hirata
4. Jun Akiyama, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida Vs Yukio Naya, Junta Miyawaki & Daichi Sato
5. Special 4-Way Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Takeshi Masada (4) Vs Yuya Koroku (6)

In the B Block we may see Yuya Koroku finish his run with a perfect record of four wins. But if Takeshi Masada can beat him then he will squeak by last year’s champion. However Rukiya can match the total score in that scenario if he beats Hinata Kasai which will then result in a three way tie where Koroku beat Rukiya, Rukiya beat Masada and Masada beat Koroku.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHOKO NAKAJIMA NIIGATA HOMECOMING – SHOKO QUEST IV: THOSE GUIDED BY THE SNOW COUNTRY”, 11/02/2026
Niigata Dúo CEREZO

1. 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Raku Vs Mahiro Kiryu

5. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi Vs Sara Phoenix & Kira Summer
6. Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Ren Konatsu V Mizuki, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami
7. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs Yuki Arai, HIMAWARI & Toga

The “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” PR Ambassador Super Sasadango Machine will be visiting the show, presumably to get updates on all of the ideas he gave others to promote the Sumo Hall show. There are currently four requests he has given people. Shino Suzuki is tasked with challenging influencers with over 100,000 followers to games of rock paper scissors until she beats three of them. The GM Tetsuya Koda was told to go find a big guest famous enough to sell out Sumo Hall and get them to make their pro wrestling debut. The mascot Minimo-chan was told to master its special moves through intensive training. Finally Sanshiro Takagi was instructed to scout a new idol to turn into a pro wrestler.

5. Ueno Nordic Presents Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Pokotan (w/ Chris Bathooks, Naya Tonttu & Sauna Stones・Den)
6. Special Single Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs To-y

Pokotan will not be alone when it fights Yuki Ueno. It will be accompanied by three sauna themed versions of DDT wrestlers. Naya Tonttu has appeared on these sauna wrestling shows before. Chris Bathooks and Sauna Stones・Den both have pun names that apply to saunas somehow but I don’t have the knowledge with that hobby to figure out what they are.

GANBARE☆PRO “A SCANNER DARKLY 2026”, 22/02/2026

5. Shuichiro Katsumura, Yuya Susumu & YuuRI Vs Yuna Manase, Akira Shoji & Tyson Maeguchi
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Mizuki Watase

How is it that Moeka Haruhi keeps getting put with oddball opponents? She now has to face Papillon Akemi and a Colega Pro/Land’s End gimmick called Hora-chan in a 3 Way Match.

“GAISEN SAKURA PRO WRESTLING”, 11/04/2026

4. Daisuke Sekimoto defeated Masahiro Takanashi with a Modified Muffler Hold (23:09).

The 2010 Miracle Match between Masahiro Takanashi Vs Daisuke Sekimoto was revisited on today’s independently promoted show. Much like the first time, Takanashi was the big underdog but this time he was a much more crafty veteran. He targeted Sekimoto’s arms and continued to do so after Sekimoto missed a Lariat outside the ring and hit the ring post. The power difference just couldn’t be avoided though. Takanashi tried to hit the Takatonic from the top rope in a moment that flashed everyone’s minds back to 2010. Sekimoto blocked the move but before he could drop down and crush his opponent just like he did back then, Takanashi instead flipped over and Power Bombed him from the rope. The Takatonic was blocked again and every failed attempt to pin Sekimoto afterwards saw Takanashi’s chances fade away. The German Suplex that would normally end the match wasn’t hit perfectly so Sekimoto grabbed Takanashi in a Muffler Stretch and held his opponent up until Takanashi gave up. The two shook hands after the match but neither of them gave any speeches. Instead the show ended with Takanashi bowing to the audience on his knees and leaving the ring without comment.

Team Drift used Keisuke Ishii’s old theme music for their entrance. Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao also wore the same Team Dream Futures shirt while Ishii wore the shirt made for their farewell.

The special costume Mei Suruga wears for her entrance included flashing lights. During an outside the ring brawl with MAO, Suruga put the costume back on and dived from one of the nearby counters. She landed her attack and MAO complained afterwards that he could have gotten an electric shock. He then wrapped the costume around his arm and hit Suruga with an Axe Bomber. Inside the ring Suruga tried to put on the Cattle Mutilation but MAO kept countering it, eventually putting her in the Wedding Clutch for the pinfall.

A surprise match between Minoru Fujita and DJ Nira took place that went awry after Nira knocked out Daisuke Kiso with his umbrella. When Kiso woke up and was provoked by Nira again, he declared he was adding himself to the match, making it a 3 Way. The three of them locked up and the room suddenly went dark. Then there was an announcement that Kiso had seriously injured his opponents and escaped, leaving the ring completely empty. There was then an announcment that a new life was suddenly born. A spotlight then shined over to Hoshitango wearing diapers and crying like a baby. Then there was another announcement, this one saying Sekimoto quietly passed away on the morning of his match against Takanashi 12 years ago.

There was a brief exchange back and forth of the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title between Saki Akai and Ram Kaichow. When their match ended, Kaichow rolled up Akai and pinned her for the belt. Akai then attacked her with the Brahman Brothers’ suitcase. Yuko Miyamoto tried to rescue Kaichow but accidentaly Elbow Dropped her instead. Akai then pinned Kaichow to win back the title.

The wrestler called Emi Sakura W in the Gauntlet Tag match is Papillon Akemi pretending to be her. The gimmick has been used in Gatoh Move before.

The UMA Corps turned on Gota Ihashi after the dark match after Miyako Haru ordered Shinsetsu Gomu Ningen to attack him. KUDO came to the rescue, scared them off and told Ihashi the Ebisuko Tavern was now protected. Ihashi told KUDO he hasn’t given up on his dream of becoming the tavern’s manager. KUDO gave Ihashi a Buzzsaw Kick in response and Ihashi apologised for trying to overthrow his boss.

DDT “DRAMATIC EXPLOSION 2021” Results

December 18, 2021

DDT “DRAMATIC EXPLOSION 2021”, 18/12/2021
Nagoya Congress Center Event Hall
484 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

*V1 for Pheromones.
7. HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura, Jun Akiyama & Yukio Naya defeated Yuji Hino, Bodyguard, Tetsuya Endo & Yusuke Okada when Naya pinned Okada with the Back Drop (15:36).
8. Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ DDT Vs BJW: Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno & MAO defeated Yuji Okabayashi, Yuya Aoki & Kosuke Sato when Ueno pinned Sato with the BME (19:01).

One week before their KO-D Openweight Title match, Konosuke Takeshita and Yuji Okabayashi faced off in their final preview of the big championship fight. Today in Nagoya the match between them spread out to be DDT versus Big Japan. Takeshita had backup from Yuki Ueno & MAO to defend home plate while Okabayashi brought along Yuya Aoki & Kosuke Sato to fly the BJW flag. The times Takeshita and Okabayashi were in the ring together would end in stalemates and double downs. It was up to the other four to break the deadlock. It was the teamwork of The 37KAMIINA that became the deciding factor. The three of them were able to get ring of Okabayashi, MAO wiped out Aoki with a Moonsault and Ueno won the match with the BME to Sato. Takeshita said he hopes his wrestling with Okabayashi is exciting enough to make fans forget about their problems. Both have gotten more powerful since their D-Ou Grand Prix match so he promises the title bout on 26th December will be a great fight.

The KO-D Tag Team Titles match on the 26th also got one final preview here. HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura got to face off against Yuji Hino & Bodyguard one final time. New BURNING members Tetsuya Endo and Jun Akiyama found themselves on opposite sides too. But the result came down to Yukio Naya pinning Yusuke Okada with the Back Drop. Although the tag champs were on the winning team today, HARASHIMA was left dissatisfied. He thinks DISASTER BOX didn’t do enough against their upcoming challengers so today feels like a loss to him. Hino would later give the same opinion, thinking he and Bodyguard feel like the real champions coming out of today’s show. Yoshimura said he has a lot of respect for Hino and he is still his favorite wrestler, but he is also a little less scared of him than before. The champs have no choice but to fight back in Yoyogi on the 26th.

The match the show was named after was the Current Blast Death Match with the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles on the line. Pheromones used the stipulation to act their most indecent, making lewd poses with the barbed wire weapons before attacking The Kuronita Army with them. They stripped off Kuro-chan’s costume and threw Sanshiro Takagi into him as part of more shameless antics. Not even Atsushi Onita’s comebacks could change the tide when he hit an exploding guitar over Yumehito Imanari’s head. Once Yuki Iino grabbed the Current Blast bat and charged up the power using Danshoku Dieno’s backside, the finish was inevitable. Takagi was hit with the exploding bat and Iino pinned him for the successful defence. Dieno bragged about Pheromones growing stronger when everyone thought the unit wouldn’t make it to the end of the year. He doesn’t care if they didn’t win any awards this year because the look of disgust they get from everybody is the best prize of all. Onita & Kuro-chan blamed Takagi for losing. Onita thinks he became weak ever since he became CyberFight president, too busy caring more about paperwork than wrestling. The Kuronita Army still want to fight for championships but they won’t get any if Takagi is wrestling for them. Takagi accepted blame and offered to manage Onita & Kuro-chan instead of teaming with them from now on. As president he can still grant them title shots if they want one.

The latest chapter in Kazuki Hirata’s slow integration with his Kobe past brought him to team with Susumu Yokosuka today. Hirata begged for Yokosuka to dance with him despite Toru Owashi’s protests. Yokosuka made up his mind, pushed Owashi away and joined in with the dance! Even Owashi had to admit defeat and took part to complete the dancing trio. The boost in enthusiasm helped them beat Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Akito with Hirata pinning Honda decisively. Yokosuka admitted he never thought he would see the day where he would dance with Hirata. Owashi asked him to give Hirata advice for his match against Shuji Kondo on 26th December. Yokosuka told him to do his best and he thinks Kondo won’t want to dance with him.

Shunma Katsumata and Hyper Misao settled their grudge in a violent Hardcore Match. The match featured barbed wire boards with voodoo dolls attached, a castle of chairs, toy blocks, ladders, staplers and skewers. Misao was accidentally unmasked during a back and forth on the ring apron but she continued fighting with her face fully exposed, putting Katsumata through a wooden board at ringside. Back in the ring she then poured a box of thumbtacks over herself and her opponent. Katsumata fought back with a Superplex from the ladder. Misao toughed it out by taking chair shots for as long as she could but the end finally came when Katsumata hit Sauna Trance Splash from the top of the ladder. Katsumata praised Misao for having a very strong heart filled with love. She can protect Tokyo Joshi Pro while he will be the hero of DDT so they can both stand together in the same ring as heroes! Misao said she saw the world of hardcore wrestling for the first time and it is beautiful. She thanks Katsumata for opening up this world to her.

There is no such forgiveness going on between Daisuke Sasaki and Masahiro Takanashi. Their tag match had a sudden start when Takanashi attacked Sasaki. They fought outside where MJ Paul attacked Hideki Okatani with a chair. Sasaki then used a chair to choke Takanashi with. Back in the ring Sasaki gave Takanashi a Low Blow and put him in the Crossface Lock. He held him in place with the hold while Paul pinned Okatani with the Death Valley Bomb. Then during the backstage interviews after the match, Takanashi ran in and attacked Sasaki sparking a big brawl.

Saki Akai was introduced to a new opponent in the form of Papillon Akemi representing Dera Beppin Pro Wrestling. Akemi was prepared and blocked the Quetzalcoatl with a slow rolling cradle that distracted Akai more than make her dizzy. But Akai was able to hit her finisher on the second try and win. Akai revealed that she wanted a match with Akemi ever since her second year in wrestling. It took about six years to finally make it happen. She would like to wrestle in Dera Beppin and become their champion but does the group have any wrestlers other than Akemi? She doesn’t know.

The opening match saw Soma Takao & Kazusada Higuchi put aside any past differences and get along to beat Toui Kojima & Yuya Koroku. The rookies worked together to give Higuchi a Double Brainbuster but they were eventually overwhelmed by the more experienced opponents.

This time they are heading up the first defence of their second reign as champions.

6. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – Final: Yuki Ueno Vs Konosuke Takeshita

During the week Mizuki Watase unexpectedly requested a move from DDT to Ganbare☆Pro. DDT had met with Watase to discuss his plans and all sides agreed to go through with the move as of 25th November. Watase’s match against Yusuke Okada on 5th December will still go ahead and it is now his send-off match from DDT. Watase has wrestled in Ganpro several times and thinks the heat from the fans matches his own temperature. He is grateful to DDT for having him for 6 years including his debut match in Sumo Hall. He hopes to get stronger so the next time he steps in a DDT ring he will return the favour. This move also opens up Watase’s options because he wants to wrestle in other companies, in foreign countries and against various people. If he can get that kind of schedule then he will be able to wrestle the same amount of matches as he would if he stayed in DDT.

She doesn’t know much about TropicaWild because she doesn’t interact much with other joshi promotions. Mizuki however has history with SAKI. They both teamed together for their debut match almost a decade ago! Together they were Buribato♡, the “Brilliant Battle Girls” of LLPW-X.

DDT takes on a Nagoya promotion known as Dera Beppin Pro Wrestling. The company is allegedly the only joshi wrestling promotion in Nagoya and has existed since 2013. It is also named after an adult magazine which is another sign that all is not as it seems. The only wrestler associated with Dera Beppin is Papillon Akemi, a masked wrestler designed to look like a shoujo manga character. If it’s joshi that Akemi wants then joshi is what Akemi will get. Saki Akai is stepping up on the DDT side.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’22”, 04/01/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. International Princess Title: Hikari Noa (c) Vs X
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Mizuki

Even though Mizuki doesn’t like to fight against Miyu Yamashita she does have a good win-loss record against her. She has now been full-time with Tokyo Joshi Pro for a year now and wants to carry the promotion on her back. That means she needs to take the Princess Of Princess Title from Yamashita. The champion has been beaten by Mizuki twice this year. During the Tokyo Princess Cup as well as yesterday’s Princess Tag Titles match. She respects her so much that she wants the match to take place on the annual Ittenyon show. There is no better time for Yamashita to avenge those losses.

Hikari Noa will next defend the International Princess Title against the winner of a Battle Royal taking place on 4th December. The participants of the Battle Royal will all be chosen by a fan votes on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. If you are subscribed to WRESTLE UNIVERSE then you can vote here using your name and User ID. Only one vote is allowed per account. Any multiple votes found will invalidate all of your votes. Noa thinks if a wrestler who has not been able to move up a step gets voted into the Battle Royal and wins the title shot, it will be a chance for that person to gain confidence. She will watch the Battle Royal and form her strategy depending on who wins.

The eligible wrestlers you can vote for are Yuki Aino, Yuki Arai, Maki Itoh, Arisu Endo, Nao Kakuta, Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu, Marika Kobashi, Suzume, Rika Tatsumi, Nodoka Tenma, Shoko Nakajima, Haruna Neko, Hyper Misao, Pom Harajuku, Moka Miyamoto, Raku and Miu Watanabe. Those excluded from the pool are either the current champions or not in Japan right now.

GANBARE☆PRO “TROPIC THUNDER 2022”, 10/01/2022
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Tatsuhito Takaiwa (c) Vs Ken Ohka

For his first Spirit Of Ganbare Title defence, Tatsuhito Takaiwa is wasting no time and nominated Ken Ohka as his challenger. Takaiwa calls Ohka the symbol of Ganpro and since this is a Ganpro title there is nobody more fitting to get the first shot. If he can’t beat Ohka then he thinks there was no point in becoming the champion.
