5. Cabellera Contra No Apesta: Shota Vs Yasu Urano
The Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title is no longer with Ganbare☆Pro after Shota lost the championship at a JUST TAP OUT show. His match with Yasu Urano will still go ahead but Urano still wants Shota to defend something so the match has some meaning. An agreement was made that Shota will cut off his hair on the spot if he loses. Urano however does not have to put anything on the line so nothing will happen to him if he loses. Going by that wording, a draw should spare Shota’s locks if that happens again.
Asuka is taking time off to recover from an ankle injury. Ayumi Hayashi from Actwres girl’z takes her place in the trios match.

Gouma Ryu is now just Gouma after he failed to win the Dragon Contra Dragon match this past week. There’s been no sign of the other participant Trans-Am ★ Ryuji, I mean Trans-Am ★ Ji since the match happened.

DDT “DDT EXTREME TITLE MATCH”, 10/01/2021 Saitama Sabaccha 0 Fans

The sequel to “EXTREME RECAPTURE STRATEGY” begun with Sanshiro Takagi entering Saitama Sabaccha in search of his stolen DDT Extreme Title belt. The first person he found inside was his former enemy turned ally Rambo Kawamura. The two agreed to work together and find the belt. Delving further into the room, they found their target Nabe Yakan standing on a balcony. With him was Makoto Oishi with the Extreme Title in his hands. Oishi told them he was the mercenary hired by Yakan to steal the title from Takagi in the first place. He swears his alliance to Yakan to pay for his child’s milk. Yakan complained that when he became the champion in Best Body Pro Wrestling he didn’t get any media attention for it so he stole the Extreme Title to make the news!
The two sides agreed to an airsoft gun fight. Yakan calls it a gentleman’s sport so when somebody gets hit with a shot they have to call it out. Kawamura said there are no rules on the battlefield but Yakan then explained if they treat the airsoft fans with respect they may return their appreciation and start following pro wrestling. Takagi agreed to the rules and accepted a challenge consisting of three games.
The first game had three guns hidden in the play area but one of them was empty. The first team to shoot their opponents twice would be the winners. Takagi and Yakan started fighting with a lock up. Oishi and Kawamura both found guns and stalked their prey. Kawamura tried to act as a decoy but Oishi found Takagi and shot him in the shoulder. Takagi was in pain but denied being hit. Yakan then grabbed Oishi’s gun and shot Kawamura with it. Kawamura was honest and admitted he was hit so Yakan got the first point. Takagi shot Oishi to even the odds but ran out of bullets after a fierce battle with Yakan. He was shot over and over until he finally admitted he was hit to end the first game.
The second game was a Human Flag Battle. Keigo Nakamura had a flag stuck to his head and it was up to the teams to find him and grab it. However the room was now filling with smoke to hamper everyone’s sight. Nakamura was also armed with a powerful airgun to defend himself with. Kawamura was shot a lot by Yakan but he found a knife to pull the bullets out of his wounds. Takagi & Kawamura found Nakamura but couldn’t get close to him. That was until Takagi used a chair as a shield and took Nakamura’s fire while Kawamura snuck up behind him. Kawamura shot an arrow at Nakamura’s head to cause great damage and Takagi grabbed the flag to win the second game.
The third and final game was a Survival Captain’s Fall match. Either Takagi or Yakan had to be pinned to end the match and guns were still permitted. Oishi used a rope to kidnap Kawamura so he could torture him into revealing Takagi’s location. Takagi had to watch from a distance as Yakan & Oishi poked Kawamura with a toy knife and pinch his eyelids with clothespins. However Kawamura would not give up the information. Instead he pulled out a grenade and sacrificed himself in an explosion that also took out Oishi! Takagi used the distraction to ambush Yakan for their final battle. He threw Yakan into a castle of chairs and then threw him on top of the chairs with the Spicolli Driver to win the match.
The war is over and Takagi has his belt back. He declared himself the Savage Game champion and also made sure Yakan will publish an article about how strong the DDT champion is. Takagi then found Kawamura and checked to see if he was still alive. Kawamura looked to be okay so Takagi walked off celebrating his victory. But as soon as he turned his back on Kawamura, Kawamura stood up, pulled back his bow and aimed for Takagi’s head. The screen cut to black and the credits rolled. The End.

3. Tag Match @ Yakiniku Drago Skytree Ekimae Store: HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya defeated Makoto Oishi & Keigo Nakamura when HARASHIMA pinned Oishi & Nakamura with the Somato (3:16).
4. DAMNATION! Vs DDT Sauna Club! @ Sumida Health Sports Center Pool: Tetsuya Endo, Soma Takao, Mad Paulie & Hiroshi Yamato (w/ Daisuke Sasaki) defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Yuki Ueno when Endo pinned Katsumata with the Shooting Star Senton into the Pool (19:53).
5. Current Explosion Death Match @ Tokyo Solamachi 8F Dome Garden: Kuro-chan (w/ Shinya Aoki, Super Sasadango Machine & Yuki Kamifuku) defeated Atsushi Onita (w/ Sanshiro Takagi, Chris Brookes & Maki Itoh) with the Current Blast Bat Swing (11:09).
All around Tokyo SKYTREE Town there were pro wrestlers waiting around for matches to happen. Members of Jungle Pocket followed the action from place to place for the ABEMA viewers at home. The reason for all of this was the long awaited Current Blast Death Match between Atsushi Onita and Kuro-chan. Both men were allowed a trio of wrestlers to accompany them and get involved in the fight. Kuro-chan tried to run away but Onita caught him and let Chris Brookes & Maki Itoh beat him up. Itoh swung a Current Blast Bat but Super Sasadango Machine stood in her way and took the blow. Onita pinned Kuro-chan after the explosion but Yuki Kamifuku broke the count. Sasadango told Kuro-chan that Kamifuku’s knees contain ingredients that would heal him from the blast. Kamifuku was grossed out but allowed Kuro-chan to lick her knee for recovery purposes. That powered up Kuro-chan until Sanshiro Takagi strangled him with a belt. Onita put Shinya Aoki through a table with a Piledriver then grabbed another Blast Bat. However Kamifuku turned off the bat’s power supply at the last second. The distraction allowed Sasadango & Aoki to attack Onita. Kuro-chan & Kamifuku then swung the Blast Bat at Onita together for the second explosion. Soon after, Onita grabbed the last Blast Bat but Kuro-chan grabbed Kamifuku to be his human shield. Onita hesitated and Aoki attacked him from behind. Kuro-chan grabbed the bat and hit Onita for the final explosion. Two Blast Bat hits were too much for Onita and he couldn’t kick out of the pin. Kuro-chan has defeated him!
Kuro-chan taunted Onita by pouring a bottle of water over him and bragging about “the moment when the pro wrestler lost to the entertainer!” Onita got up and started beating Kuro-chan with the bottle. Kuro-chan backed off but was still laughing over winning the match. An angry Onita then turned his attention to Jungle Pocket when they stepped in to protect their fellow entertainer. Kuro-chan grabbed Onita’s leather jacket, put it on himself and declared himself the new Evil Ways!
Over at the Sumida Health Sports Center pool, the DDT Sauna Club and DAMNATION met for a swim and an 8-Man Tag. After a quick swimming race, Jungle Pocket’s Otake asked when they would start wrestling. Daisuke Sasaki demanded money and both teams agreed that the match winner would get Otake’s money. After fighting around poolside, everyone wound up in the pool when a chain of Headscissors was flipped over by Mad Paulie. Everyone then moved over to the waterslide. Tetsuya Endo gave Yuki Ueno a Sunset Flip down the waterslide with Yukinori Matsui sliding after them to try and count the pin. One by one the wrestlers slid down with MAO’s turn involving a bunch of small rubber ducks coming down with him. Shunma Katsumata tried to blow hot sauna wind with a towel at Hiroshi Yamato but since it was pool it only made Yamato feel cold. Katsumata & Ueno put a rubber ring around Yamato and tried to make him float upside down in the pool. Konosuke Takeshita, Ueno & Katsumata tried piling on top of each other for a triple piggy back attack but they fell over when Sasaki sprayed them with a hose. The Sauna Club recovered to give Soma Takao an Assisted Cutter into the pool. There was a bridge where Paulie did the Reverse Splash into the pool but everyone moved out of the way. Takeshita then gave Yamato the Kinniku Buster from the bridge into the water. Sasaki was all alone against the Sauna Club when suddenly Yuji Hino showed up wearing a DAMNATION shirt! One by one he destroyed the Sauna Club and he gave Katsumata the Fuckin’ Bomb from the bridge into the pool. Endo then hit the Shooting Star Senton from the bridge to Katsumata and pinned him in the water.
After the match, Sasaki introduced everyone to Hino. He explained they used to be soldiers together and now Hino is the newest member of DAMNATION! Not only that but Hino will also be at the 27th December Korakuen Hall show. Hino threw Otake into the water to celebrate and everyone in DAMNATION laughed.
Hirohisa Ota from Jungle Pocket spectated a match held in a nearby yakiniku restaurant. Yukio Naya welcomed him and they looked at the menu until they heard a commotion nearby. It was Makoto Oishi & Keigo Nakamura causing noise and being a nuisance. Angry clerk HARASHIMA confronted them and with Naya started the tag match against the troublemakers. Oishi tried to take female clerk hostage when suddenly the disgraced sumo wrestler Takatoriki appeared from the back of the restaurant! He and Naya slammed Oishi & Nakamura together outside and HARASHIMA pinned both of them with the Somato.
The third Jungle Pocket member Shinji Saito met up with Saki Akai along the shopping street when all of a sudden Akito & Kazuki Hirata showed up in a rickshaw pulled by Danshoku Dieno. Luckily for Akai, the rest of Eruption showed up from the nearby subway and the trios match was ready to begin. Dieno summoned samba dancers while he did the Asakusa Nightmare to Akai. Akito chased Kazusada Higuchi into a store and found Higuchi dressed like an enlightened monk attending pilgrimage. Higuchi wouldn’t budge while he was in his state of enlightenment. Yukio Sakaguchi and Hirata stopped fighting so they could go buy sweet desserts. Sakaguchi made sure it was paid with money from Hirata’s wallet. Higuchi returned on a bike and cycled into his opponents. Dieno climbed up a wall and sat in the Hell Gate position. Hirata then called for “Anal Snow Samba” and Dieno shot smoke from beneath him onto everyone below while the samba dancers performed around them. Sakaguchi used a fire extinguisher to freeze Dieno’s ass. Akai then sprayed it into Hirata while Higuchi held him in the Canadian Backbreaker for the finish.
The show began at the entrance of Tokyo Solamachi where six Tokyo Joshi Pro wrestlers came to fight. Marika Kobashi brought along a selfie stick but Hikari Noa used it to choke her. Nodoka Tenma Body Slammed Mizuki onto the ground and then jumped on top of her with a Body Press. Yuka Sakazaki and Miyu Yamashita fought near the stairway and Sakazaki ended up pushing her opponent down the steps. Sakazaki, Mizuki & Noa then joined up for a sprint down the path to hit a Triple Dropkick on the other team. Noa found a ladder and spun it around, hitting anyone who dared come near her. The ladder was set up near the Skytree and The Magical Sugar Rabbits did a Double Diving Body Attack off it onto everyone below. Sakazaki ended the match by pinning Kobashi with the Sliding Lariat.

5. Current Explosion Death Match: Atsushi Onita (w/ Sanshiro Takagi, Chris Brookes & Maki Itoh) Vs Kuro-chan (w/ Shinya Aoki, Super Sasadango Machine & Yuki Kamifuku)
Kuro-chan held a public training session with his helpers Shinya Aoki, Super Sasadango Machine & Yuki Kamifuku earlier today. Sasadango told Kuro-chan that to be a successful wrestler you need to figure out your opponent’s weaknesses. Atsushi Onita’s weakness is his knees. Aoki was there to teach Kuro-chan submission holds to target the knee. Kamifuku was the closest in size to Onita out of the four so she had to spar with Kuro-chan. They then immediately stopped because Kuro-chan was tempted to lick her knees. Aoki had to demonstrate the submissions on Kuro-chan instead. When that painful exercise was finished, Sasadango then told Kuro-chan he can in fact lick Onita’s knee to exploit his weakness! Sasadango explained Kuro-chan’s saliva can rust the artificial joints in Onita’s knees and ordered him to lick his own knee for practice. When asked to give a message to Onita, Kuro-chan threatened to lick and kill him!

7. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 – Final: Konosuke Takeshita vs Jun Akiyama
The D-Ou Grand Prix finalists met for a press conference yesterday to comment on their upcoming rematch. Konosuke Takeshita said when he lost to Jun Akiyama at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020” it left him questioning his wrestling ways. It hasn’t been easy for him to find the answer he was looking for. But soon he can get his revenge in order to truly lead DDT. Then he can stand across the ring from Tetsuya Endo and reignite their feud over the KO-D Openweight Title. Even though Takeshita has held the KO-D Title many times and holds the defence record, he never won a Tokyo Sports Award during that period (he only ever won Best Newcomer for his debut year). Endo on the other hand won the Best Skill category for this year. That is what’s motivating Takeshita to go after the title again. As for his injured left arm, Takeshita promises to be at 100% on the day of the final.
Akiyama said he didn’t reach the final on his own. He got here because of Junretsu, in particular Makoto Oishi. This final is just as much for him. Akiyama came to DDT alone and was quickly welcomed by Oishi leading to Junretsu’s formation. He realized the importance of the team and also having them in his circle of friends because of how much they helped him. But Akiyama thinks nothing has changed in the rivalry between himself and Takeshita.
DDT “GO TO DDT! VOL. 1”, 09/01/2021 Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs CIMA & Soma Takao
Eruption’s first KO-D Tag Team Titles defence will be against CimaSoma. The champions need to reclaim some shine after they unexpectedly lost the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. The challengers meanwhile should be coming in hot after they beat HarashiMarufuji last month.
1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Super Delfin, Chris Brookes & Maki Itoh Vs MAO, Keigo Nakamura & Mirai Maiumi
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 Winner
A special trio is coming together to face a team filled with Tohoku flavour. Maki Itoh has a regular column in Shukan Puroresu magazine and one of her articles revealed she became a fan of the late Gran Naniwa after seeing Chris Brookes post clips of him on Twitter. When Super Delfin found out about this from Naniwa’s father, he wanted to team with her whenever it was possible. This leads to the return of the Itoh Respect Army (the NEO part seems to be gone) to team with Delfin in Culttz Kawasaki next February. Itoh hopes she can learn the Swinging DDT from Delfin and would be grateful to become his disciple. Brookes, like any wrestling nerd, pointed to the 1994 Super J Cup to explain his original discovery of Delfin. The Tohoku part of this match also comes from their opponents. MAO is from Miyagi and is influenced by Michinoku Pro while Keigo Nakamura & Mirai Maiumi are both from Iwate.

Today’s set of DDT Extreme Title defences took place at a “Hell Gate” located in the mountains near Sammu City, Chiba. Sanshiro Takagi met with a mysterious man who was there to guide him to the Hell Gate. It was a vast open space of land where Takagi would fight against Nariagari, an elite group of amateur pro wrestlers under the tutelage of Danshoku Dieno. When Takagi met with Dieno, they noticed there was no referee around. One of the Nariagari wrestlers Hen China was told to put on a sports jersey and officiate the matches.
Takagi’s first challenger was Tawaramachi Kid Jr. This masked wrestler wore a happi coat and armed with wooden stick instruments to cheer himself on. Takagi quickly submitted him with a Dragon Sleeper.
The second defence was against Satoru Otake, a normal everyday salaryman. Otake handed Takagi his business card then hit him with his briefcase. He screamed about being a newlywed who needs money. Takagi rolled him onto the ground and soccer kicked him in the back before pinning him.
The third challenger then appeared, an English speaking backpacker named Kai. Takagi gave him a Soccer Ball Kick but the backpack worked as a shield against it. Kai put Takagi in a Crossface Lock but Takagi freed himself by stealing Kai’s passport and throwing it away. Takagi put Kai in the STF. Kai reached towards his passport on the ground but gave up when Takagi rolled him away still in the STF.
Next up was a doctor who simply went by the name of Benio. He didn’t look threatening in his medical coat but when he took it off, he meant business. Benio threw a Lariat and smiled when Takagi hit him back with Chops. Takagi gave him the Stunner but Benio still smiled and wouldn’t fall down. Takagi eventually got him on the ground with a Lariat and made Benio submit to a Half Crab Hold.
The fifth and apparently final challenger made his way to confront Takagi. Shinya “The Wandering Metaller” carried an electric guitar and declared today as his debut match. Takagi avoided the guitar attacks and had Shinya beaten when another mystery man suddenly appeared…
The man was Zosaku Inoue, one of Nariagari’s Heavenly Four Kings! He blew fire from Hell at Takagi, scaring him away. Shinya joined in and also blew fire from the opposite side, trapping the champion and hurting him greatly. Shinya went for the pin when suddenly Rambo Kawamura ran in to rescue Takagi! He fought off Shinya with his machine gun and knocked him out for Takagi to pin him. Takagi asked him why he came to help and Kawamura said he didn’t want to see these guys take the DDT Extreme Title from his “Colonel”. From here the two of them decided on teaming together to fight the Heavenly Four Kings.
Together they started their search. Kawamura told Takagi he forgot the Extreme Title belt earlier so he grabbed it and gave it back to him. They then approached Dieno with two of the Heavenly Kings: Inoue and Super Nikuyaki Machine. They challenged Takagi & Kawamura to a Meat Grilled Death Match right away! Nikuyaki emptied a bag of metal grills and tongs. Kawamura used the tongs to pull a bullet out of his stomach. Takagi slammed Nikuyaki onto the grills with the Spicolli Driver for the victory. Inoue ran away, abandoning his partner. Takagi & Kawamura decided to give the fallen Nikuyaki an honorable goodbye and they buried him under the grills.
They reached a power line structure and found an imposing figure waiting for them. It was Akinori Ariji. Hen China took off his jersey and joined his side. They were the two remaining Heavenly Kings! Satoru Otake returned to be the referee for the final match between the two teams. China blew into a vuvuzela to distract Takagi then attacked him with glow sticks. Kawamura meanwhile tried to poison Ariji by force feeding him grass. Zosaku Inoue returned to blow more fire at Takagi, allowing the other Kings to throw Takagi into a castle of chairs nearby. Takagi grabbed a chair and broke it over Ariji’s head. Kawamura then shot Ariji in the head with a suction cup arrow at point blank range. Takagi finished him off with the Spicolli Driver to complete today’s quest.
The Nariagari wrestlers all gathered around for Takagi to speak to them. He called them strong and admitted he probably would have lost eventually if Kawamura did not come to his aid. He asked Dieno if they are doing more than just training. Have they only done one show previously behind closed doors? That won’t get through to anybody. They should be given the spotlight more often. Takagi encouraged Nariagari to hold a second show this time in front of an audience. Kawamura offered to take part because he doesn’t have a job to keep him occupied.

5. Current Explosion Death Match: Atsushi Onita (w/ Sanshiro Takagi, Chris Brookes & Maki Itoh) Vs Kuro-chan (w/ Shinya Aoki, Super Sasadango Machine & Yuki Kamifuku)
Kuro-chan reluctantly accepts Atsushi Onita’s challenge for a Current Explosion Death Match but with some added conditions. The two met up at Tokyo Solamachi yesterday with Kuro-chan wanting to turn down the match. His excuse is he is just an amateur. Onita, armed with a current blast bat told Kuro-chan that this year’s dirt must be cleaned. He then forced Kuro-chan to sign the contract for the match. Onita then blew up a Christmas tree with a picture of Kuro-chan attached to it with the bat as an experiment. It was revealed later that the explosion level for the actual match will be triple the strength.
Onita said the match must happen because hundreds of thousands of fans will be watching. Kuro-chan wouldn’t betray them by no-showing, right? Kuro-chan agreed and requested he should bring some pro wrestlers to the match to help him. Sanshiro Takagi agreed and told Onita he should have some helpers too. Takagi immediately chose himself, Chris Brookes and Maki Itoh to be in Onita’s corner. Kuro-chan wanted to pick Jun Akiyama but he did not have his contact information. He thought about finding people who have grudges with Onita but ended up staying within the DDT stratosphere. In the end his helpers are Shinya Aoki, Super Sasadango Machine and Yuki Kamifuku.

Away from DDT, Danshoku Dieno started his own little project for training amateurs into becoming pro wrestlers. DDT would mention it here and there to help Dieno get some applicants but otherwise not much was ever made of it. All of a sudden, Dieno tells Sanshiro Takagi he has five elite students ready to hunt Takagi for the DDT Extreme Title! From the start of his title reign, Takagi has said he will defend the belt against anyone including amateurs. He will travel to a place described as a Hell Gate to fight these elite amateurs.
