DDT “CHRIS BROOKES PRODUCE SHOW 3 – DANGER AND PLEASURE TOUR ’96” Results

April 4, 2021

DDT “CHRIS BROOKES PRODUCE SHOW 3 – DANGER & PLEASURE TOUR ’96”, 04/04/2021
Saitama Wrestle Butokan
0 Fans

1. DDT Extreme Title – No DQ Falls Count Anywhere Match: Chris Brookes (c) defeated Mecha Mummy with a Jackknife Pin in the children’s pool (12:14).
*V1 for Chris Brookes.
2. MEN’S Teioh, Hagane Shinno & Makoto Oishi defeated Yuki Ueno, MAO & Keigo Nakamura when Teioh pinned Nakamura after the Triple Ecstasy (13:21).
3. HARASHIMA defeated Baliyan Akki with the Somato (16:08).

The third DDT show produced in the English language for international viewers begun with the DDT Extreme Title match. The champion Chris Brookes was accompanied by Masahiro Takanashi while the challenger Mecha Mummy had a professor wearing an eyepatch by his side to overlook its performance. Brookes had the gameplan figured out. He just needed to splash water onto Mummy to make it short circuit. However Mummy was waterproofed with a face shield and wasn’t in danger. Brookes then tried using a water gun but Mummy quickly grabbed it off him and destroyed it. The Mecha Fist and Jet Scrambler were used by both wrestlers as the fight broke out around ringside. Brookes was in serious trouble when Mummy stabbed him with the Mecha Drill. Takanashi came to the rescue by pouring a can of beer over Mummy to make it short circuit. Brookes then knocked Mummy into a nearby pool with the Rocket Punch and pinned it with a Jackknife for his first successful title defence.

Mecha Mummy recovered after the match and assaulted Brookes. Suddenly a rival from Mummy’s past appeared from the stage. It was Mokujin Ken! After a staredown with much visible shaking, Mummy and Ken started fighting each other. Everyone tried to pull them apart but the broadcast got cut off.

For one night only the MEN’S Club was revived and given a chance to show the young generation what they are still made of. MEN’S Teioh wrestled throughout with a smile on his face, getting Hagane Shinno & Makoto Oishi to join in for group poses. When their opponents took control Yuki Ueno & MAO did their own poses to get one back on them. MEN’S Club had the last laugh in the end. Teioh gave Keigo Nakamura the Miracle Ecstasy but the pin was broken up. So the MEN’S Club all got together to give Nakamura the Triple Ecstasy for the finish, pose included.

Baliyan Akki was given the main event spotlight again after his impressive performance against Konosuke Takeshita back in February. This time he was pitted against HARASHIMA. They got tangled up together with dual Ankle Holds and the stalemate was broken up when Akki hit a Topé Con Hilo to the outside. HARASHIMA tried using his strikes to fight back but was almost beaten with the Firebird Splash. HARASHIMA used his knees to block the Namaste Press but Akki was able to catch the Somato for a submission attempt. HARASHIMA reach the ropes and won a strike exchange, finishing Akki off with a Super Kick, the Reverse Frankensteiner and then the Somato for the victory.

Brookes and Mr. HAKU held an English roundtable with Akki, MAO and Ueno after the show. Brookes said whenever he books shows, he does not want to be the main character. He prefers to put the spotlight on other wrestlers. He doesn’t know what is going to happen at the next show between Mecha Mummy and Mokujin Ken. He is at least relieved that Ken came to the rescue, otherwise the next show would have become a Mecha Mummy produce with everyone turned into mecha wrestlers. For the MEN’S Club match Brookes said he has always been a fan of the unit after watching loads of Big Japan shows. He watched one of their matches with MAO recently and learned that MAO is also a fan. MAO was happy to do the match because his style is the 2000s Jr. Heavyweight wrestling that came from the likes of Michinoku Pro and Toryumon. Ueno then had to be part of the match because he is MAO’s stablemate. Nakamura was the third wrestler added because the original choice had a scheduling conflict. For the main event Brookes wanted to see Akki in a different environment. Drew Parker came up with the idea to do Akki Vs HARASHIMA. Akki promised to get beers for Parker the next time he sees him as long as Parker doesn’t show up bloody.

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.

GAKE NO FUCHI JOSHI PRO “GAKEPPUCHI INFINITE TRAIN 2021” Results

February 5, 2021

GAKE NO FUCHI JOSHI PRO “GAKEPPUCHI INFINITE TRAIN 2021”, 05/02/2021
Saitama Wrestle Butokan
50 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Gake no Fuchi Joshi Vs Pocchari Joshi Full-Scale Competition – Gake no Fuchi Rules: Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase (3,003 pts) defeated Miyako Matsumoto & Chris Brookes (3 pts) when Manase pinned Matsumoto with the Suzuki Dynamic onto a chair (37:15).

The first Gake no Fuchi Joshi event of 2021 had big stakes attached to it. Miyako Matsumoto announced that the losing side in the only match of the show would be forced to disband their promotion. Ippanjin Munenori Sawa had promised the owner Sanshiro Takagi that Gake no Fuchi would continue for 1,000 years so he was here to support Matsumoto today.

Before the match took place, there was the matter of Gold Karen auditioning to join Gake no Fuchi as the promotion’s first trainee. She was nervous when she introduced herself but said her favourite wrestler is Himeka Arita from Stardom and then sang “Imitation Gold” by Momoe Yamaguchi. Afterwards, Matsumoto made her decision and rejected Karen’s audition because there was no heart in her performance. However every pro wrestler starts their career by losing so she’ll get another chance. After intermission Karen gave her audition another go and sang “Blue Coral Reef” by Seiko Matsuda. Matsumoto rejected her again and repeated her earlier reasoning word for word.

With that out of the way, it was time for Gake no Fuchi Joshi Vs Pocchari Joshi. The loser must disband stipulation was music to Chris Brookes’ ears because he would do anything not to team with Matsumoto again. He wanted to replace her with Toui Kojima who was perfoming tasks at ringside but Daisuke Kiso refused to allow it.

The two teams were told to each sing a song before the match began. Yumehito Imanari decided to sing Jushin Liger’s theme song for some reason. Next, Matsumoto sang her new song but didn’t notice Brookes laying down on his back behind her for Imanari to get an easy three count. Matsumoto wouldn’t accept the result and demanded a restart. Yuna Manase grabbed Brookes in a Wristlock and he instantly gave up for another quick finish. Matsumoto demanded another restart and told Brookes she would destroy his residence card if he doesn’t try to win. Brookes did what he was told and they attacked Pocchari Joshi to start the match properly.

Gake no Fuchi rules were in effect which means a bunch of minigames took place as the match progressed. It was also further explained that the winner of the match is whoever has the most points at the end, not from who pins who. Manase got a few points in a Ryogoku Style Sumo Match against both Matsumoto & Brookes. Matsumoto and Imanari then had a rap battle. Manase joined in and it somehow led to her and Matsumoto creating profiles for a dating app to see who would get more hits. Meanwhile Brookes beat Imanari in a game of Tetris that was being played on the big screen.

There was a comedy face-off which Imanari won using impersonations. A 4 Way Gake no Fuchi Boxing Challenge saw everyone don the gloves and punch each other out until Matsumoto accidentally punched Kiso in the face to get disqualified. One of the most regular games made a comeback when Brookes won the Gake no Fuchi Kiso Flag round. However he won it by Super Kicking Kiso so there was no referee to count any pins. Shota was forced to take Kiso’s place. He begun to count Matsumoto’s pin on Manase but stopped and Clotheslined her instead! He wants to destroy Gake no Fuchi! Suddenly, Sawa ran into the ring and delivered Dragon Screws to Shota, Imanari and Manase. He made a promise to Takagi that Gake no Fuchi Joshi would last for 1,000 years and he will live up to it!

The match went back on track with Brookes pressing Manase down on the ropes and holding a rubber strap to her mouth. Matsumoto pulled the strap and pulled it towards the back of the room. Manase was able to let go of the strap on her end causing it to snap into Matsumoto. They tried repeating the trick with Sawa taking Matsumoto’s place and this time Manase ducked and it snapped into Brookes instead. Brookes took out two tables and set them up at ringside as a launch pad for a plastic case attack with Matsumoto sitting in it. The plan didn’t work and Matsumoto crashed onto the floor. Imanari then threatened Brookes with a stapler and stapled a flyer for this Sunday’s DDT show onto Brookes’ head.

Shota and Sawa were still at ringside so the match kind of turned into a 6-Man Tag. Sawa blinded Shota with a party popper and placed him on one of the tables outside the ring. Matsumoto then climbed the ropes and, using Kiso to keep balance, put Shota through the table with a Diving Body Press. Sawa went for the Irabu Punch on Imanari but he ducked and Sawa knocked out Brookes instead. Determined to save Gake no Fuchi, Matsumoto continued fighting and hit Imanari over the head with a chair. He wouldn’t go down until he was kicked below the belt. Manase jumped in and hit Matsumoto with a Lariat. She then did the Suzuki Dynamic onto the chair to get the winning pinfall.

The result should have brought and end to Gake no Fuchi Joshi but Imanari & Manase had regrets over the decision. Pocchari Joshi wants to do more crazy matches against Gake no Fuchi because the two sides have a relationship like the moon and the sun. Matsumoto began to cry and said she surprisingly feels much better now despite losing. She will accept the stipulation and close down Gake no Fuchi. She thinks she might find a partner on the dating app she used earlier. Shota began to prepare a retirement ceremony for the promotion when suddenly Sanshiro Takagi appeared!

Takagi thanked Matsumoto for all of the hard work she did and admitted he thought she only had a 5% chance of winning today. However, he also reminded Matsumoto that she has a trainee now. Back in the 90s, Takagi was part of a company called PWC that closed down out of the blue. Out of desperation he created DDT. What if Gake no Fuchi Joshi closes down today and Gold Karen launches her own company to replace it? Then she would have her own DDT! It is Matsumoto’s responsibility to nurture her new student otherwise she is just running away from reality. Matsumoto said she wants to continue Gake no Fuchi and won’t split it up when it has so many new members. Brookes tried to protest being included but Takagi ignored him. Matsumoto promised Gake no Fuchi will be immortalized forever as long as there is still one of her still around! She asked for her theme music to play but instead got the Kamen Rider BLACK RX song instead. Shota sang along to it to close out the show.

1. Marika Kobashi & Moka Miyamoto Vs Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko
2. Yuna Manase, Nao Kakuta & Raku Vs Hikari Noa, Mahiro Kiryu & Sena Shiori

6. International Princess Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) Vs Mirai Maiumi
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

The contract signing for the three title matches has taken place. Rika Tatsumi made it clear her goal as the Princess Of Princess Title is to defend it for a century. When she teams with Miu Watanabe as Daydream, she thinks of ways to use Watanabe as a weapon against their opponents. So she already has ideas of how to attack Watanabe directly. It is a special match for her but she is not nervous. She has already been champion for a month and has learned to be calm about it. Watanabe thinks she has already grown thanks to wrestling against Tatsumi over the last month.

Mirai Maiumi created her own attaché case to represent her International Princess Title shot. She wants to become the champion to give courage and energy all over Japan. She promises her match will be the Miramare Shock miracle! As champion, Yuki Kamifuku purposely wants to make people feel jealousy. That way everyone will pay attention to her and Tokyo Joshi Pro.

The creation of Shin Ultra Shoka has reminded Hyper Misao of her original intentions when she became a superhero. She wants to create a superhero squad of Tokyo Joshi! There are five colours in the hero squad and two have already been filled. Red and green. That leaves blue, yellow and pink. If the Tokyo Joshingers win the Princess Tag Team Titles then they can add The Bakuretsu Sisters to their squad. Nodoka Tenma wants to be the blue ranger but she would rather still be champion. She also wants Shoko Nakajima to go back to normal so they can team with her as the Tokyo Joshi Special Effects Club again. They would even prefer Misao to join the club rather than they join the Joshingers. Yuki Aino also reminded the challengers that it’s the people that give heroes their powers and they will use that power to defend the belts.

The search for trainees over in Gake no Fuchi Joshi has struck some gold. Singer and voice actor Gold Karen will take part in a public “protest” as part of her audition to join the brand. Karen is from Okinawa, her birthday is on 12th March and she is 150cm tall. She has a college background in music.

DDT “THIS IS OUR 9TH NARIMASU PARTY! 2021”, 20/02/2021
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall

1. Mizuki Watase Vs Yusuke Okada

After Junretsu lost their match yesterday. Mizuki Watase made his feelings clear backstage that Yusuke Okada is not deserving of a spot in DDT. He was excited to see him enter DDT at first but believes he quickly settled into a safe position under Akiyama’s coaching instead of making a name for himself. Okada explains that DDT made him team with Junretsu while Akiyama is recovering but Watase thinks that excuse is not good enough. They will settle their differences in a singles match.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2021”, 28/02/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: The Young Bucks Autobiography “Killing The Business” (c) Vs X

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title was sent back to Japan after a five month stay in the United States. It ended up in AEW where a copy of The Young Bucks autobiography became the most recent champion (my quick review: decent book, needed crazy road stories to make it a must read). The book was shipped over to Japan along with the title belt so DDT did the logical thing and booked it for a title defence next month. Match type and opponent(s) are yet to be determined.

Return To Twin Box, Brookes Produce Show 2, Amateur Vs Outsider

January 26, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW PPV SHOW 2 ~STARTING POINT~”, 30/01/2021
Twin Box AKIHABARA

1. The HERO Has Come To Protect The Peace Of Akihabara!: Shin Ultra Shoko & Hyper Misao Vs Sena Shiori & Arisu Endo
2. Yamato Nadeshiko Challenges The Charisma Of A New Era!: Maki Itoh Vs Moka Miyamoto
3. Majirabi Warning For Live Music Venues!: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki Vs Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu

6. The Past, Present & Future Of Tokyo Joshi Pro Cross On The Mat!: Rika Tatsumi & Suzume Vs Miyu Yamashita & Mirai Maiumi

Miyu Yamashita visited Twin Box AKIHABARA during the week to rediscover her memories of the venue when Tokyo Joshi Pro held their first shows their eight years ago. Back then TJPW only consisted of three girls including Yamashita training to be pro wrestlers. This Saturday’s PPV will have 22 women involved. That is a roster over seven times bigger having a show in the same venue! Yamashita thinks it will be good for the rookies like Moka Miyamoto and Sena Shiori to experience mat wrestling. She hopes everyone will feel the history of TJPW in the building as the show goes on.

Yamashita admits she doesn’t remember much about the first show and her memories of those days might be mixed up with the shows that were held in Shibuya DESEO. She didn’t feel uncomfortable wrestling on a padded mat because her training was done on mats too. It only made her excited to wrestling inside a ring as soon as possible. She is more experienced now in fighting outside the ring so she is excited to see what she can do at the PPV this Saturday. The only worry she has is if Yuka Sakazaki does a high flying move from a strange place and accidentally breaks some equipment.

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

1. Chris Brookes & Miyu Yamashita Vs Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata
2. Konosuke Takeshita Vs Baliyan Akki
3. ROBOT Vs HERO: Mecha Mummy Vs Hyper Misao

Last year Chris Brookes booked his own little DDT show for a worldwide audience. That went down a treat so he’s doing it again this year! Brookes and his opponent back then Yamashita are this time joining forces to fight Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata from the DDT Sauna Club. A returning Baliyan Akki is coming over from Gatoh Move to challenge Konosuke Takeshita in a first time singles match. Then it’s the blockbuster battle of the summer. Hyper Misao takes on the greatest threat to peace and love yet. It’s the return of the Mecha Mummy! A special talk show with some of the participants will be held after the show so Mr. HAKU will have a busy day ahead of him.

GANBARE☆PRO “OVER THE TOP 2021”, 07/02/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Katsuzaki Shunosuke, Moehiko Harumisawa & Shu Sakurai (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii, Kouki Iwasaki & HARUKAZE
2. Ganpro Vs Aka Rangers Full-Scale Battle: Ken Ohka & Shota Vs Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO
3. The Strongest Amateur Vs The Strongest Outside Enemy: Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Ikuto Hidaka

Is there anyone from Ganbare☆Pro who can beat Ikuto Hidaka? Maybe it will take a wrestler who isn’t signed to Ganpro to do that. Nobody is prouder of their student wrestling roots than Shinichiro Tominaga. Still, Hidaka is getting used to fighting the Ganpro spirit and senses it coming from his upcoming opponent.

The Aka Rangers of Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO were one of the early tag teams of note in DDT. When Ken Ohka was nothing more than a rookie, he got to second the team to ringside and always wanted to wrestle them. Sadly the opportunity never came. Almost 20 years later Ohka finally gets to achieve his dream and he is bringing in a white hot Shota along for the ride.

Ohka wanted to give a present to celebrate Keisuke Ishii’s birthday the day before the show as well as Kouki Iwasaki’s recent marriage. He offered them a GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles match against THE HALFEE but they needed a third partner. HARUKAZE also has a birthday that week so she was chosen to complete the team.

BASARA “BASARA 150 ~KINKON ICHIBAN~”, 25/02/2021
Shinjuku FACE

1. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Yasu Urano

The double champion Takumi Tsukamoto is trying to rest whenever he can but the title defences are coming quick and fast. Just under a week after his next BJW Death Match Title defence, Tsukamoto will put the Union MAX Title on the line against an impatient Yasu Urano. The challenger has been acting greedy on the indies lately with demands for instant title matches as well as forcing wagers onto his opponents to make his matches more worthwhile. Tsukamoto accepted his challenge but wanted it for a big show like BASARA’s 150th chapter at Shinjuku FACE.

DDT “NEW YEAR’S DAY GIFT SPECIAL! ALL SEATS 3,000 YEN SPECIAL BOX OFFICE!! 2021”, 03/01/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Antonio Honda 43rd Birthday & 16th Anniversary Debut Match: Antonio Honda Vs Choun-Shiryu

2. Chris Brookes & Shunma Katsumura Vs Mad Paulie & Yuji Hino

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs CIMA & Soma Takao
7. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shota

Shota is having a late career resurgence, winning the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles and Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title in short succession. He believes that is why Yuki Ueno accepted his challenge for the DDT UNIVERSAL Title. Shota wants to become a leader of the independent scene in 2021 and travel around the world for wrestling. He thinks winning the UNIVERSAL Title will get him overseas bookings. Ueno didn’t want to end 2020 with him getting pinned by Shota so his new year resolution is to avenge that loss as soon as possible. He should respect Shota more and not look down on that result but as the UNIVERSAL Champion he has a standard to live up to. He must not let the title go to someone who can’t decide if he is indie or major.

Unless he shows up on 3rd January, this is Daisuke Sasaki’s return match from injury.

5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title – Street Fight Style Special Hardcore Match: Shota (c) Vs Miss Mongol

The day after Shota main events Korakuen Hall for DDT, he gets to defend the World Jr. Indie Title in Ganbare☆Pro against an FMW original. Miss Mongol is annoyed that Ganpro hasn’t booked her in months so she got bold and challenged Shota to a title match. She also wants it to be a Street Fight because of the championship’s origins with FMW.

Ikuto Hidaka’s appearances in Ganpro this year was to show he still has a lot left in the tank despite his age. Keisuke Ishii wants to see it for himself after he beat Hidaka in a tag match a few days ago.

DDT “ISN’T IT DRAMATIC! 2021”, 11/01/2021

GANBARE☆PRO “BATTLE RUNNER 2021”, 17/01/2021

GAKE NO FUCHI JOSHI PRO “GAKEPPUCHI INFINITE TRAIN 2021”, 05/02/2021
Saitama Wrestle Arena

1. Gake no Fuchi Joshi Vs Pocchari Joshi Full-Scale Competition: Miyako Matsumoto & Chris Brookes Vs Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase

After taking half a year off, Gake no Fuchi Joshi will be back in action. Miyako Matsumoto is currently looking for joshi trainees of all shapes and sizes so they can help her make the world a little bit more interesting. In August Matsumoto & Chris Brookes lost to the Pocchari Joshi team of Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase at a Bakuha Koshien show. The rematch under Gake no Fuchi Joshi rules promises to be a lot more crazier.

DDT “KAWASAKI STRONG 2021”, 14/02/2021
Culttz Kawasaki

1. KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles: Sanshiro Takagi, X, X & X Vs Shinya Aoki, X, X & X
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Super Delfin, Chris Brookes & Maki Itoh Vs MAO, Keigo Nakamura & Mirai Maiumi
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Jun Akiyama

The D-Ou Grand Prix is over for another year and the winner Jun Akiyama gets the KO-D Openweight Title shot against Tetsuya Endo in February. Akiyama put over Endo and the KO-D Title huge by including Endo with Tetsuya Naito and Go Shiozaki as the only three champions that matter to him. Endo did beat Akiyama in their D-Ou group match so Akiyama needs to fight his heart out if he wants to win. Endo watched the final between Akiyama and Konosuke Takeshita, leaving him with some strong opinions. He can tell the difference between the two wrestlers. According to Endo, Takeshita only thinks about himself while Akiyama is thinking about the entire wrestling industry. Endo likes the praise of his title reign he is getting from Akiyama and it makes him proud of increasing the KO-D Title’s value. So when Endo beats Akiyama again in Culttz Kawasaki, he will call the KO-D Title the number one championship in Japan and himself the number one wrestler in Japan!

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA 2021”, 23/02/2021

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Akito, Kazuki Hirata & Shota (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi, HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno

The #STRONGHEARTS contingent of CIMA, T-Hawk, El Lindaman & Shigehiro Irie will be on the show. Although I don’t know if Irie will be associated with the group when it comes to the match making.
