November 14, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’20 ~WOMM (WRESTLING OF MY MIND)~”, 14/11/2020
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Nao Kakuta & Pom Harajuku defeated Shoko Nakajima & Suzume when Kakuta pinned Suzume with the Hawaiian Smasher (10:09).
2. Hyper Misao defeated Moka Miyamoto with a Camel Clutch Chickenwing Facelock (8:21).
3. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Maki Itoh and Mahiro Kiryu when Tatsumi pinned Kiryu with the Twist Of Fate (9:22).
4. Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Mirai Maiumi defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Marika Kobashi & Hikari Noa when Tenma pinned Kobashi with the Killswitch (12:47).
5. Sakisama defeated Sena Shiori with a Triangle Choke (7:37).
6. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Raku defeated Miyu Yamashita, Miu Watanabe & Haruna Neko when Sakazaki pinned Neko with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (13:41).

The show began with an important announcement from Mizuki. She has now officially joined Tokyo Joshi Pro! She’s been wrestling almost exclusively for TJPW since 2017 but she was doing that as a freelancer all that time. Ever since the Tokyo Princess Cup she thought about this decision because she wants to be part of the company. Her goal is to win championships and surpass Yuka Sakazaki. She promised to do her best to spread the name of TJPW. Rika Tatsumi was the first person to congratulate her by giving her a big hug.

Mizuki, Sakazaki & Raku called their trio the Magirabi Express.

Sakisama returned to TJPW because she thinks the fans are missing the excitement that only she can provide. She heard Sena Shiori is nicknamed the Space Ranger. She’d be happy to take in Shiori to her own rocket ship but not yet. Shiori is not mature enough yet to join Sakisama’s side. Instead, Sakisama will be bringing in her own tag partner for a tag match on 20th November. She almost said her partner’s name but stopped herself to keep it a mystery.

Hyper Misao found out that Moka Miyamoto is an active college student. She wanted their match to count as course credit while also teaching a lesson that pro wrestling is not as sweet as university.

The newest addition to the roster Nao Kakuta wrestled in new gear for the occasion. She wanted to leave a strong presence in her first match and did so by picking up the win. She learned a lot about Suzume in the ring and can tell she is taking wrestling seriously. She got a strange feeling of exhilaration from wrestling against Shoko Nakajima. Finally she wants to team with Pom Harajuku again. They don’t have any double team moves or any other kind of cooperation so she wants to know her better.

Kendo Kashin In TJPW? IRON FIST TAG Continues, D-Ou Comments

November 13, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’20 ~WOMM (WRESTLING OF MY MIND)~”, 14/11/2020
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Shoko Nakajima & Suzume Vs Nao Kakuta & Pom Harajuku
2. Hyper Misao Vs Moka Miyamoto
3. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi Vs Maki Itoh Vs Mahiro Kiryu
4. Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Mirai Maiumi Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Marika Kobashi & Hikari Noa
5. Sakisama Vs Sena Shiori
6. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Raku Vs Miyu Yamashita, Miu Watanabe & Haruna Neko

It’s a fresh new chapter for Tokyo Joshi Pro. We have newcomers joining Yuka Sakazaki in the champion club with no immediate challengers for any of the titles on the horizon. Sakisama is returning which is usually a sign that NEO Biishiki-gun is looking for new members. Nao Kakuta makes her Tokyo Joshi debut.

We now know why Kendo Kashin showed up to “WRESTLE PRINCESS”. He approached Tetsuya Koda declaring himself the new part-time coach for TJPW! He spoke to Koda in a “Western” accent, explaining he can use his world class coaching skills to make Tokyo Joshi world class. That will result in Tokyo Joshi becoming World Joshi, or WJ for short. Koda said he was grateful for the offer but turned Kashin down. A world class coach means he would have to be paid a world class salary and Koda just can’t do that right now. Kashin insists he can do a great job because the “WJ” roster is full of gold eggs. With his teaching they can wrestle anywhere from the Budokan and the Tokyo Dome to the Capital Wrestling Center and the ThunderDome!

BASARA “BASARA 140 ~THE 7TH FOX PRINCE~”, 14/11/2020
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Yusuke Kubo Vs Masato Kamino
2. 4 Way Match: FUMA Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Daiki Shimomura Vs Takato Nakano
3. Isami Kodaka Vs Daichi Kazato
4. IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT – Round 1: Fuminori Abe & Tetsuo Usui Vs Ryuichi Sekine & Minoru Fujita
5. IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT – Round 1: Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano Vs Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT

One side of the semi-final bracket is filled. This show determines the other half. Takumi Tsukamoto has all the momentum behind him as the new Union MAX Champion. The previous champ Fuminori Abe has to move on and not let that loss get to him.

DDT “DRAMATIC LOVE FOR FUJI! 2020”, 15/11/2020
Shizuoka Fuji-san Messe

1. Akito Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga
2. Antonio Honda Vs Keigo Nakamura
3. Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai Vs Danshoku Dieno & Hideki Okatani
4. DDT Megatonweight Single Match: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Mad Paulie
5. DAMNATION Vs DDT Sauna Club!: Tetsuya Endo, Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Yuki Ueno
6. Makoto Oishi 42 Year Old Local Triumph! Fuji Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Mizuki Watase Vs HARASHIMA, Chris Brookes & Kazuki Hirata

This is the confirmed match order. They weren’t going to do Makoto Oishi dirty in his hometown.

DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2021 IN KORAKUEN HALL!”, 22/11/2020
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Under Match: Mizuki Watase & Hideki Okatani Vs Yukio Naya & Keigo Nakamura
1. 4 Way Tag Match: Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai Vs Soma Takao & Mad Paulie Vs Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda
2. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 – A Block: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Daisuke Sasaki
3. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 – A Block: HARASHIMA Vs Chris Brookes
4. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 – A Block: Akito Vs MAO
5. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 – B Block: Tetsuya Endo Vs Jun Akiyama
6. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 – B Block: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Yuki Ueno
7. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 – B Block: Makoto Oishi Vs Shunma Katsumata

I was invited to record a preview podcast of the D-Ou Grand Prix for subscribers to the Wrestling Omakase patreon. Had plenty to talk about with each of the participants and what matches we think you should look forward to. They will also be covering the tournament with podcast coverage after every show on the patreon.

The majority of the wrestlers made public comments about the tournament today. In the B Block, Jun Akiyama is being targeted by everyone. Tetsuya Endo is certain their opening match will determine who makes the final. Endo says if beats Akiyama he will abstain from all remaining block matches. But if he loses to Akiyama then he will forfeit his remaining block matches. I can’t tell if we’re supposed to take this seriously based on DAMNATION’s recent broken stipulations.

Soma Takao’s motivation is down. Nothing can match the high he got from wrestling CIMA then teaming with him to beat HARASHIMA & Naomichi Marufuji. No prize money for winning the Grand Prix isn’t helping either. Yuki Ueno has become more conscious of wins and losses since becoming the new DDT UNIVERSAL Champion. He believes Endo thinks the same. Shunma Katsumata’s confidence has grown ever since he got compliments from Akiyama. He hopes he will get Akiyama to join the DDT Sauna Club.

Kazusada Higuchi said he will beat Akiyama because he will not give up the top spot to somebody who is on the verge of finishing his wrestling career in Japan. Oishi revealed he volunteered to enter the Grand Prix. He has never done a round robin tournament before so he wants to show everyone what he’s got. Akiyama wants to win every match, reach the final and win the whole thing. If he can’t beat Endo then he won’t be able to win the tournament.

Over in the A Block, Konosuke Takeshita has been questioning himself ever since his loss at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”. Is his chosen path the wrong one? He cannot take a new step until he goes back to Akiyama. Daisuke Sasaki said he has a secret weapon to win. It’s roll ups. HARASHIMA has had a tough go throughout 2020. He lost the KO-D Openweight Title in January and couldn’t wrestle as much as he wanted because of the epidemic. He is also coming off a loss at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020” so he is motivated to win the Grand Prix.

Chris Brookes admitted he does not want to wrestle Akiyama in the final. He’s sure Akiyama will beat him up. He does want to face Ueno again so he’d love to see him win the other block. MAO thinks he was entered into last year’s tournament on a fluke. This year he thinks he is worthy to be a part of it. He is looking forward to his first singles match against Brookes. Akito was to make an ordinary tournament look extraordinary. Yukio Sakaguchi sent a message that just said “Kill everyone!”

Daisuke Contra Daisuke, Sauna Club, Air Time Bomb Death Match, Takanashi Returns

November 11, 2020

DDT “DAMNATION ILLEGAL ASSEMBLY RETURNS VOL. 2 ~DAISUKE SASAKI 15TH ANNIVERSARY SP~”, 12/11/2020
Shinjuku FACE

1. Chikara & Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Tsutomu Oosugi & Yasutaka Oosera
2. T-Hawk, El Lindaman & Mad Paulie Vs Yasu Urano, Antonio Honda & Gouma Ryu
3. Hiroshi Yamato Vs Amigo Suzuki
4. Tetsuya Endo & Ryuichi Sekine Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei
5. Soma Takao Vs Yusuke Kubo
6. Daisuke Contra Daisuke: Daisuke Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa Vs Yuko Miyamoto & Daisuke Sekimoto

The main event has an extra edge added to it. Daisuke Sasaki thinks there are too many people named Daisuke or Sasaki in pro wrestling. For his 15th Anniversary he wants to hunt down a Daisuke and take his name. So he demands Daisuke Sekimoto to put his name on the line in a Daisuke Contra Daisuke match! The loser loses his first name!

All is good and calm in DAMNATION again so the wrestlers Sasaki originally banished from the show are allowed come back in. It means Sasaki doesn’t have to work double duty anymore. Let Tetsuya Endo & Ryuichi Sekine worry about The Brahman Brothers now.

DDT “DDT TV SHOW! #12”, 14/11/2020
DDT TV SHOW Studio

1. Makoto Oishi Vs Hideki Okatani
2. Playfulness Series Act 2: Danshoku Dieno Vs Gorgeous Matsuno
3. Tetsuya Endo & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Antonio Honda & Keigo Nakamura
4. DDT Sauna Club Stepping Together!: Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Yuki Ueno Vs HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi, Chris Brookes & Yukio Naya
5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai (c) Vs Akito, Kazuki Hirata & Shota

With MAO back in action the entire DDT Sauna Club can be together in the ring again. MAO wants this friend group to all team up together for a match.

Is Gorgeous Matsuno obsessed with the O-40 Title? He lost the championship to Toru Owashi last week and Danshoku Dieno came out to stand up for him. Instead Matsuno thought Dieno was trying to push him out of the O-40 Title picture so he could get the belt for himself. The two face off and whoever wins should have nobody stopping them from getting the next title shot.

DDT “DRAMATIC LOVE FOR FUJI! 2020”, 15/11/2020
Shizuoka Fuji-san Messe

1. Akito Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga
2. Antonio Honda Vs Keigo Nakamura
3. DDT Megatonweight Single Match: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Mad Paulie
4. DAMNATION Vs DDT Sauna Club!: Tetsuya Endo, Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Yuki Ueno
5. ALL OUT Vs DAMNATION!: Konosuke Takeshita & Akito Vs Soma Takao & Mad Paulie
6. Makoto Oishi 42 Year Old Local Triumph! Fuji Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Mizuki Watase Vs HARASHIMA, Chris Brookes & Kazuki Hirata

Maybe the Sauna Club becomes a regular fixture? Yuki Ueno is without a unit, MAO and Shunma Katsumata are considering becoming a tag team again. Maybe merge it with ALL OUT? Being a VP must be stressful for Akito so a sauna trip can help him relax. It would do Yuki Iino some good too. Why stop there? Get DISASTER BOX involved. DAMNTION too. All of DDT becomes the Sauna Club! ALL OF CYBERFIGHT BECOMES THE SAUNA CLUB! THE WHOLE WORLD BECOMES THE SAUNA CLUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STYLE OF MY LOVE”, 20/11/2020
Shinjuku FACE

1. Hyper Misao Vs Super Sasadango Machine

Two very imaginative wrestlers cross paths. Is Hyper Misao into computers? Is Super Sasadango Machine into superheroes?

BAKUHA KOSHIEN “BAKUHA KOSHIEN 2020 ~30TH ANNIVERSARY OF CURRENT BLAST~”, 29/11/2020
Kanagawa Tsurumi Fruit & Vegetable Market

1. Mizuki Watase Vs Maku Donaruto
2. Yuna Manase Vs Ayumi Hayashi
3. Ricky Fuji Vs Nobuhiro Shimatani
4. Rikidozan III Vs Taiho III: Chikara & Yumehito Imanari Vs Yukio Naya & Hoshitango Imachi
5. First In History! Air Time Bomb & Current Blast Bat x3 Death Match: Atsushi Onita, Mecha Pandita & Rambo Kawamura Vs Takashi Sugiura, NOSAWA Rongai & Hidetaka Monma

A time bomb will be hanging above the ring for the main event. After a certain amount of time it will explode with a large shower of sparks falling down onto everyone below!

DDT “OH LIFE IS ABOUT PRO WRESTLING”, 04/12/2020
PIA LIVE STREAM

1. Single Match Where Life Intersects: Yasu Urano Vs Makoto Oishi

Danshoku Dieno is producing his own iPPV series of matches where the wrestlers can have conversations about their lives and careers while they wrestle each other. He thinks Yasu Urano and Makoto Oishi have had strange wrestling careers so they should have plenty to talk about. The match will only be on the PIA LIVE STREAM service. It will not stream on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

“NEW YEAR’S EVE WRESTLING 2019 ~TOSHIWASHURE! SHUFFLE TAG TOURNAMENT”, 31/12/2020

1. Shuffle Tag Tournament – Round 1: BJW X & DDT X Vs BJW X & DDT X
2. Shuffle Tag Tournament – Round 1: BJW X & DDT X Vs BJW X & DDT X
3. Shuffle Tag Tournament – Round 1: BJW X & DDT X Vs BJW X & DDT X

“MASAHIRO TAKANASHI BOX OFFICE YOPPARAI IS BACK”, 29/01/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Masahiro Takanashi Vs Fuminori Abe

Today Masahiro Takanashi announced he will be coming back from his injury! He is holding a self-produced voluntary show on 29th January for his first match back since his ankle injury back in March. Fuminori Abe will be his opponent, the same man he lost the Union MAX Title to when the injury happened. Takanashi said this was always the match he wanted for his return. He made that decision the night he was injured.

Takanashi is not entirely out of the woods yet. Next March he is scheduled to get a plate surgically removed from his left knee and also a bolt from his right knee that he’s had for the last 10 years. He doesn’t know how much he will be able to wrestle after 29th January but if the condition of his knees are good then you will see him in DDT and ChocoPro. But for now he is only focused on his return match.

Wrestlers advertised to appear include Chris Brookes, Yukio Sakaguchi, Isami Kodaka, Yasu Urano, the UMA Corps and members of Gatoh Move.

BASARA “BASARA 139 ~GLITTER~”, 10/11/2020
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Leo Isaka defeated Tetsuo Usui with the Hiroyuki Kondo Style Arm Sasori Katame (10:25).
2. Ryota Nakatsu, SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa defeated Tsutomu Oosugi, Banana Senga & Gouma Ryu when SAGAT pinned Ryu after the Three Tiered Body Press (10:01).

6. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Fuminori Abe (c) with a High Angle Backslide Pin (17:33).
*Fuminori Abe fails in V5. Takumi Tsukamoto becomes the 15th Union MAX Champion!

In his third attempt, Takumi Tsukamoto has become the new Union MAX Champion! After the match the former champion Fuminori Abe admitted he never felt more frustrated after a loss. He was able to do so much as the MAX Champion and it today he was reminded there is somebody out there stronger than him. He remembered when he won the title from Masahiro Takanashi under unfortunate circumstances. The BASARA fans still supported him and still treated him like a deserving champion. He knows they will continue to support him so he will be 100 million times stronger when he fights Tsukamoto again in order to win the belt back! Tsukamoto said that BASARA is just about to become 5 years old. It is still an immature and developing promotion just like he is still an immature and developing human being. He burst into tears from the crowd cheering him and joked about being a crybaby. He promised to devote himself to being Takumi Tsukamoto in order to get even more stronger.

One of the IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT semi-finals is set. IRON PRIEST will take on Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura for a spot in the final on 7th December. It is the rematch of last year’s final and Shimomura wants revenge!

In the week leading up to the show, FUMA announced the Iron Family was disbanding and a new unit will replace it. The new unit is called Asian Kung Fu Revolution because the roots of both yoga and heavy metal can be found in Asia. FUMA, Yusuke Kubo, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato are the members of this group.

*V7 for Speed Of Sounds.

Daichi Kazato fought using the power of Best Stretchman V3 but it wasn’t enough to defeat Speed Of Sounds. After the match, Kazato announced he was retiring the Best Stretchman gimmick. He asked Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi and FUMA if they could all be in the same unit together because they have known each other going all the way back to their days in Union Pro. FUMA isn’t sure if that would be the right choice for Kazato. He wants to see what Kazato has got first before The Iron Family makes their decision.

Takumi Tsukamoto became the No. 1 Contender and will get a Union MAX Title shot on 10th November. Fuminori Abe has never beaten Tsukamoto but he is confident he will make him submit. Tsukamoto told him he has never given up anything in his life. Abe promised to take Tsukamoto’s “give up virginity” on 10th November.

The 2020 IRON FIST TAG TOURNAMENT will take place in November and December. Round 1 will take place on the 10th and 14th November. The semi finals will be on 7th December and the final will be on 22nd December. The winning team will challenge Speed Of Sounds for the IRON FIST TAG Titles at a later date.

Only BASARA This Week, Yoshimura Taking Time Off Soon, Owashi’s Forced Title Shot

October 26, 2020

BASARA “BASARA 137 ~GLITTER~”, 27/10/2020
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Takato Nakano Vs Tetsuo Usui
2. Gouma Ryu Vs Minoru Fujita
3. Fuminori Abe, Yasu Urano & Leo Isaka Vs Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine & Daiki Shimomura
4. Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT Vs FUMA & Yusuke Kubo
5. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Decision Match: Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Masato Kamino
6. IRON FIST TAG Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato

The only wrestling events going on until “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020” and “WRESTLE PRINCESS” that this site is concerned with are the next two BASARA shows.

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”, 03/11/2020
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

0. Under Match: Keigo Nakamura Vs Hideki Okatani
0. Under Match: Hiroshi Yamato & Hoshitango Vs Mizuki Watase & Yukio Naya
1. MAO Return Battle: MAO Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. Danshoku Dieno Vs Akito
3. 4 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai Vs Toru Owashi, Naomi Yoshimura & Kazuki Hirata Vs Mad Paulie, El Lindaman & Nobuhiro Shimatani Vs Super Sasadango Machine, Makoto Oishi & Antonio Honda
4. DDT Extreme Title – Yanekabe Presents Weapon Rumble: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi
5. Special Tag Match – HarashiMarafuji Vs CimaSoma: HARASHIMA & Naomichi Marufuji Vs CIMA & Soma Takao
6. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Yuki Ueno
7. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Konosuke Takeshita
8. KO-D Openweight Title – BLACK OUT Presents: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki

The winner of the main event will receive 2,000,000 yen and a year’s worth of BLACK OUT energy drink. Daisuke Sasaki is still being serious when he says he will retire if he loses. He and Tetsuya Endo got into another fight during the press conference. Suits were ripped during this.

Naomi Yoshimura will be taking a break from wrestling after “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020” to recover from his cervical injuries. He has been working through back pain all this time since his return last year. Yoshimura promises to be in perfect condition and will be even bigger in size when he returns. His goal when he is back in the ring is to beat Konosuke Takeshita, Kasusada Higuchi and Yuki Ueno. His absence for now means the end of the Nautilus team with Ueno.

Ueno is getting more grief from Chris Brookes now that Nautilus is taking a break from each other. Brookes handed him a bouquet of flowers for losing the KO-D Tag Team Titles yesterday. Brookes handed it over while acting like somebody died. Ueno whacked Brookes over his head with the flowers.

DDT isn’t sure what to do with Shinya Aoki’s sudden decision to cancel the DDT Extreme Title match. Sanshiro Takagi thinks it is a negotiation tactic of some sort and is determined to make the match happen instead of winning the title by forfeit. If Aoki wants to drop the Weapon Rumble stipulation then Takagi will consider it but there is nothing out there to suggest why Aoki doesn’t want the match to happen. He wonders if Aoki refuses to sign the match contract because it reminds him of when he signed his marriage registration and also when he signed his divorce registration.

DDT “DDT TV SHOW! #11”, 08/11/2020
DDT TV SHOW Studio

1. O-40 Title: Gorgeous Matsuno (c) Vs Toru Owashi

Toru Owashi was tricked into accepted the O-40 Title shot when he was promised all of the merchandise earnings from the show. It was only immediately afterwards he remembered it is being taped in an empty studio.

3. International Princess Title Tournament – Round 1: Hikari Noa defeated Pom Harajuku with the Blizzard Suplex (7:40).
4. International Princess Title Tournament – Round 1: Yuki Kamifuku defeated Suzume with the Fame Asser (7:40).
5. Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls: Yuka Sakazaki, Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe (2) defeated Mizuki, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino (1).
5a. Nodoka Tenma pinned Miu Watanabe after the Bakuretsu Bulldog (10:03).
5b. Yuka Sakazaki pinned Mizuki with the Magical Magical Girl Splash (5:14).
5c. Rika Tatsumi pinned Nodoka Tenma with the Missile Hip (5:22).

The champions defeated the challengers in the Best 2 out of 3 Falls preview for “WRESTLE PRINCESS”. From the beginning of the first fall, Yuka Sakazaki and Mizuki got plenty of time to wrestle each other. Mizuki took out Sakazaki & Rika Tatsumi with a Plancha. That gave The Bakuretsu Sisters the opening to beat Miu Watanabe with their finisher. The second fall went back to Sakazaki Vs Mizuki as the focus. Sakazaki got the better of her opponent this time and pinned her upcoming challenger with the Magical Magical Girl Splash. In the final fall Mizuki got rid of Sakazaki and Daydream gave Yuki Aino the Daydream Eternity. Tatsumi then took down Nodoka Tenma with the Missile Hip Attack to win the match for the champions team.

This was the last show before “WRESTLE PRINCESS” so the roster all came out after the main event to give one final push for the show. Sakazaki said wrestling Mizuki makes her feel something she hasn’t felt in a long time. It makes her look forward to 7th November. Everyone on the roster said they will continue to do their best at Tokyo Dome City Hall.

The semi finals for the International Princess Title Tournament are now set. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Suzume and Hikari Noa defeated Pom Harajuku in the remaining 1st Round matches. The semi finals at “WRESTLE PRINCESS” will be Shoko Nakajima Vs Yuki Kamifuku and Hikari Noa Vs Mirai Maiumi after a draw took place later in the day.

Hyper Misao’s team came up with a plan to tape Miyu Yamashita’s feet together. They succeeded in trapping her to wrap the tape around her feet but the referee eventually pulled the tape off to free her.

Mahiro Kiryu had to miss the show for family reasons. Haruna Neko took her place in Match #2 and Match #1 was turned into a 3 Way.

At the start of the show Watanabe said it would be her last show opening as a 20 year old. Her birthday is on 19th October.

7. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Konosuke Takeshita
8. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki

In an interview with Yahoo Japan posted yesterday, Daisuke Sasaki swore he will retire if he loses to Tetsuya Endo. He will end his wrestling career and go get a job overseas where he can work three days a week with no early morning shifts. He explained in the article that Endo stopped listening to his advice around the time he became the KO-D Openweight Champion. Endo would pretend to listen but turn a blind eye to Sasaki’s advice over fashion and hairstyling. Sasaki believes everyone else in DAMNATION turned on him because Endo bribed them. He also says he will have new black wrestling gear to wear for the title match.

Now is Sasaki being genuine with his gamble? In the past he has threatened to quit wrestling or vacate championships immediately after losing matches. So in normal circumstances he doesn’t take to losing well, especially when he’s been drinking. Could this just be an empty claim or even a self-motivational tactic? Or will this really be Sasaki’s last hurrah if he can’t beat Endo?

Ueno Gets UNIVERSAL Title Shot, Akito Challenges Dieno, Akai & Manase Coming To Wrestle Princess

October 12, 2020

5. Road To Ultimate Party 2020! Special Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Hiroshi Yamato

So DAMNATION seems to be split into two right now. There is the #DAMNHEARTS side led by Tetsuya Endo and there is the Daisuke Sasaki side that has Hiroshi Yamato as the only other member. What would Puma King think of this?

Shinya Aoki comes to ALL OUT’s aid in their fight against Junretsu.

BASARA “BASARA 137 ~GLITTER~”, 27/10/2020
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Takato Nakano Vs Tetsuo Usui
2. Gouma Ryu Vs Minoru Fujita

6. IRON FIST TAG Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato

Yesterday, SAGAT lost for the first time as a Sparky member when his former ally Yusuke Kubo pinned him. The chance to avenge that loss comes later this month.

BASARA “BASARA 138 ~THE 6TH FOX PRINCE~”, 31/10/2020
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Tetsuo Usui
2. SAGAT Vs Takato Nakano
3. 4 Way Match: Fuminori Abe Vs Takumo Tsukamoto Vs Masato Kamino Vs Yasu Urano
4. Elimination 8-Man Tag Match: Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine, Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita Vs FUMA, Yusuke Kubo, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato

One less match than usual because all of Sento Minzoku is facing The Iron Family (plus Daichi Kazato). Also Gouma Ryu will be absent from the show so no trial shenanigans either.

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”, 03/11/2020
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. MAO Return Battle: MAO Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. Danshoku Dieno Vs Akito
3. DDT Extreme Title – Weapon Rumble: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi
4. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Yuki Ueno
5. Special Tag Match – HarashiMarafuji Vs CimaSoma: HARASHIMA & Naomichi Marufuji Vs CIMA & Soma Takao
6. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Konosuke Takeshita
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki

Chris Brookes defended the DDT UNIVERSAL Title against one half of Nautilus so now he takes on the other half. Yuki Ueno took offence to Brookes calling Naomi Yoshimura weak after beating him. Ueno then took more offence when Brookes suggested he is weaker than Yoshimura. He wants to shut Brookes up and take his title. Might even end up becoming a triple crown champion along with the two tag titles when all is said and done

The motivation levels for Akito and Danshoku Dieno seem to be going in opposite directions this year. Akito’s has been rising to the point where he became a Vice President of CyberFight. Dieno is still able to come up with ideas but has he passed his creative peak? A match between the two will provide a barometer for where both will stand in DDT.

The participants for the 2021 D-Ou Grand Prix will be revealed on this show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS”, 07/11/2020
Tokyo Dome City Hall

1. International Princess Title Tournament – Semi Final: X Vs X
2. International Princess Title Tournament – Semi Final: X Vs X
3. Hyper Misao Vs Saki Akai
4. Princess Tag Team Titles: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino
5. International Princess Title Tournament – Final: X Vs X
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Mizuki

The first two semi-finalists in the International Princess Title tournament are Shoko Nakajima and Mirai Maiumi.

Saki Akai only wrestles in Tokyo Joshi Pro once or twice a year because DDT is her priority. For her 2020 appearance she will face Hyper Misao in a first time singles meeting. They were on opposite sides of a tag match once in 2015 but I think that may have been retconned into Akai getting replaced by Sakisama for some reason. Oh and there was also the storyline with that Saki Akamiya girl. Whatever happened to her? But enough about that.

Yuna Manase will be on the show. This will be her first appearance in Tokyo Joshi since leaving the promotion back in July. Look at her getting to wrestle everywhere!
