Word of this training reached Miyako Haru of the UMA Corps. She warned that her monsters will create a bloodbath and when they’re done, she would be happy to deal with Nakamura personally.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAMS! VOL. 8 ~LAUGHING GATE FORTUNE~”, 17/10/2021

GANBARE☆PRO “GANBARE☆JOSHI PRO WRESTLING ~ITOSHISATO KOKORONOKABE 2021~”, 24/10/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. YuuRI “Glamorous Valkyrie” Trial Single Match Round 1: YuuRI Vs Asuka
2. Secret Captain’s Fall Elimination 6-Woman Tag Match: Yuna Manase, Moeka Haruhi & Cherry Vs Yuu Yamagata, Makoto & HARUKAZE

The Captain’s Fall Tag is an elimination match but it can immediately end when a team captain gets eliminated. The catch here is nobody knows who the captain is until they are beaten. On the surface, Yuna Manase and Yuu Yamagata look like the obvious choices for captains but the teams can play it sneaky if they want to. Maybe HARUKAZE gets to show how much stronger she has become? How about Moeka Haruhi take charge in Ganbare☆Joshi for once? Cherry can be the wild card choice. And don’t get me started on Makoto. If somebody tells her she can use this match to become a Hashira like Kyojuro Rengoku she is going to take it. Have you seen her social media lately? If you ever find someone who loves you as much as Makoto loves Kyojuro then you will live a happy life indeed.

YuuRI is getting the dreaded trial series. The win-loss records are never good but the experience gained is invaluable. Her first opponent is Asuka.


DDT “WHO’S GONNA TOP? 2021 TOUR IN SAPPORO DAY 2” Results

September 23, 2021

DDT “WHO’S GONNA TOP? 2021 TOUR IN SAPPORO DAY 2”, 23/09/2021
Hokkaido Sapporo ii-one Stadium
234 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Shunma Katsumata & MAO Vs Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Saki Akai ended in a No Contest (12:12).
2. Sanshiro Takagi & Tomoya defeated Antonio Honda & Naomi Yoshimura when Tomoya pinned Honda with the SOD (11:25).
3. Soma Takao defeated Hideki Okatani with the Official Endless Waltz (10:04).
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Noriyuki Yoshida defeated HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Yoshida pinned Hirata with the Lightning Leg Lariat (14:14).
5. Daisuke Sasaki & Tetsuya Endo defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Darkunesu K when Endo pinned K with the Darkness Driver (11:48).
6. Sapporo Specialty Special Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno defeated Chris Brookes & Akito when Takeshita submitted Akito with the Plus Ultra (11:48).

Akito showed up wearing a similar leather jacket to Chris Brookes. They came close to winning the main event when Yuki Ueno’s Shining Wizard accidentally hit Konosuke Takeshita. Brookes took Ueno outside and left it up to Akito to finish off Takeshita. Instead Takeshita countered Akito’s grappling and locked him in the Plus Ultra for the submission victory. Takeshita shook hands with Brookes after the match.

Keigo Nakamura went missing before the show and was replaced with Darkunesu K again. K tried once more to prevent DAMNATION from splitting up but he was defeated once more.

Without going into detail, shenanigans from Danshoku Dieno caused Yukinori Matsui to faint during the opening match. It had to be called off without a winner.

Two injuries led to changes in the card. Yukio Sakaguchi has spinal canal stenosis detected in his lower back while Yuji Hino has damaged ligaments in both his right knee and right ankle. No timeframe was given for their returns.


Fujita Close Contact, CDK Comeback, Otani Injured At Ganpro

September 14, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2021 AUTUMN ~KACHO GETSURO~”, 15/09/2021
Shinjuku FACE

1. Hyper Misao Vs Kaya Toribami
2. Yuka Sakazaki, Suzume & Haruna Neko Vs Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Kamifuku & Arisu Endo
3. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta Vs Yuki Aino & Raku
4. Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel Vs Mizuki & Pom Harajuku
5. Miyu Yamashita, Miu Watanabe & Yuki Arai Vs Maki Itoh, Shoko Nakajima & Moka Miyamoto

The team-ups are done for now. Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh are on opposite sides for their next “WRESTLE PRINCESS II” warmup match.

Yuki Arai is quickly forming teams with her senpais. Yamashita helped train her so that’s a natural duo and she is getting along in the ring with Miu Watanabe too. The three of them team up together for the first time. Meanwhile Moka Miyamoto is becoming something of a rival to Arai as the two rookies breaking in around the same time. Shoko Nakajima gets to be the x factor in the match.

DDT “WHO’S GONNA TOP? 2021 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 18/09/2021
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Tetsuya Endo Vs Hideki Okatani
2. Yuji Hino & Mad Paulie Vs Akito & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Mizuki Watase Vs Yukio Sakaguchi, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuya Koroku

5. Yokohama Specialty Special Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita & Keigo Nakamura Vs Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA
6. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano

Minoru Fujita has been pulled from the show because he may have recently been in close contact with the Coronavirus. He is still waiting on an update so he will not be ready to compete in time if it turns out to be a negative case. Takumi Tsukamoto takes his place at the Yokohama show.

BASARA “BASARA 170 ~HOJIRO~”, 20/09/2021
Chiba 2AW Square

1. Union MAX Next Challenger Decision League: FUMA (4) Vs Takato Nakano (2)
2. Union MAX Next Challenger Decision League: Ryota Nakatsu (4) Vs Masato Kamino (2)

The “Nameless Corps” of Tsukamoto, Fuminori Abe & Yasu Urano were supposed to challenge for the UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles on this show. However Fujita is one third of the champions and cannot be at this show either. The title match has been cancelled for that reason.

DDT “GET ALIVE 2021”, 12/10/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles: Yoshiaki Yatsu, Akito, Hiroshi Yamato & Keigo Nakamura (c) Vs Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada, Mizuki Watase & Hideki Okatani
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura
3. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Minoru Fujita

Fujita will likely be good to go in time for the DDT Universal Title match to go ahead.

Two former KO-D Tag Team Champions are looking to take hold of the belts again. HARASHIMA was the previous champion as part of Smile Pissari until The 37KAMIINA defeated them. This time HARASHIMA is staying inside DISASTER BOX to look for a tag partner and he ended up with Naomi Yoshimura. These wrestlers are all no strangers to each other but it is still a first time tag team match up.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAMS! VOL. 8 ~LAUGHING GATE FORTUNE~”, 17/10/2021
Osaka City Abeno Ward Center

1. Masahiro Takanashi Returns To Osaka! Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi Vs X & X
2. Special Singles Match To Commemorate Yukinori Matsui’s 25th Anniversary Of His Debut Two Years Later: Kuishinbo Kamen Vs Kikutaro
3. Special Tag Match ~OSAKA THE BEST~: Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno Vs Shigehiro Irie & Naomi Yoshimura
4. Special Tag Match ~ South Osaka Great War! Izumi Vs Kishiwada: Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada Vs Magnitude Kishiwada & Inaba no Buffalo

Four Osaka wrestlers all forged by DDT are put together in one match by Yukinori Matsui. Out of the four, Shigehiro Irie is sort of the black sheep of the group. But when Matsui wants him to show up at a DDT show he is booking, Irie will always oblige.

Osaka gets the first CDK tag match in DDT since Masahiro Takanashi’s comeback.

GANBARE☆PRO “GANBARE☆CLIMAX 2021 1ST ROUND”, 24/10/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

The Ganbare☆Climax tournament returns for the first time in three years. The single elimination tournament will consist of three shows in October and November. The last tournament winner was Yumehito Imanari in 2018.

Shinjiro Otani fractured his left forearm during Sunday’s match against Kouki Iwasaki. The injury requires surgery and he will not be at any of Ganbare☆Pro’s upcoming shows in September and October.


DDT “WHO’S GONNA TOP? 2021 TOUR IN OSAKA” Results

September 5, 2021

DDT “WHO’S GONNA TOP? 2021 TOUR IN OSAKA”, 05/09/2021
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall
120 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Naomi Yoshimura & Keigo Nakamura defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Yuya Koroku when Nakamura pinned Koroku with a Diving Headbutt (12:30).
2. DDT Megatonweight Single Match: Yuki “Sexy” Iino defeated Mad Paulie with the Badonkadonk (7:46).
3. Akito, Mizuki Watase & Yukio Naya defeated HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Akito submitted Hirata with the Back Foot Figure 4 Leg Lock (0:10).
3a. Rematch: HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Akito, Mizuki Watase & Yukio Naya when HARASHIMA pinned Watase with the Somato (10:57).
4. DAMNATION Vs Junretsu!: Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Soma Takao defeated Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Hideki Okatani when Takao pinned Okatani with the Perfect Driver (12:20).
5. Special Single Match: Shunma Katsumata Vs Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno ended in a No Contest (8:44).
6. Osaka Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno & MAO defeated Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Kazusada Higuchi when Takeshita submitted Honda with the Plus Ultra (25:10).

More focus was put on the Plus Ultra today. Konosuke Takeshita tried to put Chris Brookes in the hold early but couldn’t pull it off. Brookes & Kazusada Higuchi followed Antonio Honda’s lead by tripping over the ropes and injuring their knees. It was all to set up a Triple Gongitsune spot. Yuki Ueno & MAO got rid of Brookes & Higuchi. Honda tried to fight off Takeshita with Knuckle Punches but Takeshita hit him with the Zahi knee strike and made him submit to the Plus Ultra. Takeshita said he was happy to wrestle in his hometown as a champion and he will return next time still as the champion.

The Pheromones team are getting out of control. Danshoku Dieno’s match with Shunma Katsumata already started off crazy when Katsumata tied Dieno’s feet together with tape outside the ring in a bid to have him counted out. Dieno got back in but Katsumata then taped his mouth shut to prevent the Lip Lock. Katsumata was about to hit the Firebird Splash when music suddenly began playing and Yuki Iino appeared on the balcony performing a strip tease to distract him. Dieno removed his tap but every time he attempted the Lip Lock, he was misdirected into Yukinori Matsui, knocking the referee out. With Matsui out of action the match has to be called off. Pheromones continued their attack on Katsumata, giving him a Double Danshoku Driver. The 37KAMIINA ran in to rescue their friend and Pheromones escaped. Katsumata remained in an unconscious state for the rest of the show.

Pheromones also interfered in Iino’s match against Mad Paulie. Dieno gave Paulie the Lip Lock when the ref was distracted. He then charged himself up by pressing his own face into Iino’s backside before giving Paulie another Lip Lock. This form of the move is called the Earth Kiss.

Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada Vs Magnitude Kishiwada & Inabi no Buffalo is booked for Matsui’s show on 17th October.

6. KO-D Openweight Title – BLACKOUT Presents: Konosuke Takeshita defeated Jun Akiyama (c) with the Modified Chickenwing Facelock (24:43).
*Jun Akiyama fails in V4. Konosuke Takeshita becomes the 77th KO-D Openweight Champion!

The first outdoor “WRESTLE PETER PAN” saw Konosuke Takeshita finally beat Jun Akiyama and reclaim the KO-D Openweight Title. They fought back and forth with Exploders and German Suplexes one after the other while Kenta Kobashi watched from ringside. Both also tried to win with their submission finishers. Akiyama with the Front Neck Lock and Takeshita with the Modified Chickenwing Facelock. When all else failed they went to their Knee Strikes until one stayed down. Takeshita pulled down his knee pad before hitting more Zahi Knee Strikes but Akiyama wouldn’t stay down. He had to throw Akiyama with the Cross-Arm German Suplex and then apply the Modified Chickenwing Facelock once more. The move Takeshita invented to Akiyama finally achieved its purpose and the champion tapped out!

When Takeshita was given the KO-D Title belt, he said today was not the end. He will defend the title with all of his might, become stronger and have a rematch with Akiyama this time so he can beat him as the champion. Akiyama accepted defeat but said he will get it back, just you wait and see. Chris Brookes then entered the ring and told Takeshita he hasn’t beaten him one on one in over two years. Brookes wants a shot at the title! Takeshita accepted the challenge and it will take place on the 26th September Korakuen Hall show.

Daisuke Sasaki entered Fujitsu Stadium Kawasaki holding the DDT Universal Title and he gets to leave with it. Except now he actually is the Universal Champion. After weeks of theft, cheap shots and violence Yuki Ueno couldn’t get revenge for everything Sasaki had done to him. Sasaki busted him open with a belt shot. Later Mad Paulie pulled the referee away when Ueno had Sasaki pinned after a Shining Wizard. Ueno Dropkicked Paulie and Moonsaulted onto both of them outside the ring. Everything was going so well for Ueno he was even avoiding Sasaki’s cheating. But Sasaki countered the WR into La Mistica Crossover Facelock and forced Ueno to give up. Backstage Ueno admitted that Sasaki has stolen everything from him. Now it is his turn to take away everything that Sasaki cherishes. For now that threat is falling on deaf ears. Sasaki heard the guest commentator Sumire Uesaka praised him a lot during his match. He wants her address so he can mail her a marriage certificate.

Tensions were high when DAMNATION and Eruption fought for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. From the start they were ready to fight when Soma Takao threw his belt down at Yukio Sakaguchi. Meanwhile Saki Akai kept posturing at Yuji Hino, demanding he take her seriously and throw his strong Chops at her. Hino overpowered Akai but Sakaguchi & Kazusada Higuchi were there to break the pins. Tetsuya Endo wiped out nearly everyone with a Swan Dive Shooting Star Press out of the ring. That left Akai and Hino alone to fight. Akai kept chopping and kicking Hino until he finally threw the Chop her way. Akai kicked out of the pin so Hino hit her with a Lariat. Akai kicked out of that too and still tried to fight back. Hino had to put her away with the Fuckin’ BOMB to end the match. Afterwards Hino reminded Akai of all the jokes he previously made about her being a woman. Well now he can say she is also a pro wrestler!

Jun Kasai got a taste of hardcore wrestling The 37KAMIINA style. It involves Lego. Lots and lots of Lego. Shunma Katsumata & MAO filled the ring with the toy blocks and smashed a few plastic cases along the way. Katsumata even decided to wrestle barefoot, daring Kasai to follow his lead. Kasai told him he is a man and he would but couldn’t get his wrestling boots off in time before Katsumata attacked him. Katsumata did a Moonsault Double Stomp but Kasai rolled out of the way, making him land bare feet first onto the Lego! Brookes then threw him into a ladder with the Tropical☆Yahoo. The 37KAMIINA fought back by digging skewers into their opponents’ heads. Kasai then turned the danger up a notch by blocking a Katsumata dive with a knife! He then gave Katsumata the Reverse Tiger Driver while Brookes pinned MAO with the Praying Mantis Bomb, all on the Lego for the finish. Afterwards Kasai admitted the “relaxing” hardcore matches The 37KAMIINA put together are actually fun, like a good memory from a summer vacation.

DDT’s first ever Double Ring Double Singles Matches both ended in eleven seconds. Toru Owashi immediately pinned Antonio Honda and Danshoku Dieno immediately pinned Kazuki Hirata with the same moves at the same time. Hisaya Imabayashi wasn’t sure what had happened because he couldn’t see both matches at once. So he called for both matches to restart but this time to keep them in the same ring. The rematches fell apart when the referees Yukinori Matsui and Daisuke Kiso kept getting in each other’s way. They soon started fighting each other and the wrestlers had to keep them apart. Imabayashi then had an idea to turn everything into a 3 Vs 3 match: Owashi, Honda & Kiso Vs Dieno, Hirata & Matsui with Imabayashi as the ref. Matsui’s team put Kiso in the Kaientai pose and Dieno applied the Lip Lock. Kiso then suddenly countered Matsui’s Brainbuster into a Small Package to grab victory from the jaws of defeat.

The opening match was the debuts of El Unicorn and Ilusion from the DDT Teenage Project. They were given a chance to shine and literally wrestle on top of everyone else. While the other 8 participants were locked up in a multi-man suplex struggle, Unicorn and Ilusion climbed on top of them to fight each other. It ended with Ilusion Suplexing Unicorn onto the pile below. Yuji Okabayashi’s team then won out on the multi-man Suplex spot. Ilusion Dropkicked Yusuke Okada and then joined in with Mizuki Watase to dive onto everybody outside the ring. Unicorn came back and hit a Dragonrana to Ilusion then pinned him with a Modified Double Knee Stomp. Backstage Ilusion swore to avenge his loss when he faces Unicorn in a singles match on 29th August. Yuki Iino went around searching for Naomi Yoshimura to continue fighting him. HARASHIMA and TAMURA both praised the young wrestlers for their efforts. Raimu Imai asked if he could wrestle in DDT again.

The pre-show match a a calm affair. Just a Current Blast Death Match, no biggie. Everyone was dressed for battle except for Akito, who wrestled in a suit. Kuro-chan used Hikari Noa as a shield to prevent Atsushi Onita from swinging the blast bat at him. Tetsuhiro Kuroda grabbed the bat and handed it to Kuro-chan so he could blast Onita with it. Onita got revenge by Piledriving Kuroda onto a table. Super Sasadango Machine tried to fight off everyone with a chair. Maki Itoh and Noa had a standoff with each holding blast bats. They swung at each other causing a big explosion. When the dust cleared the match came down to Onita and Kuro-chan. Onita hit his Kuro-chan with the blast bat and got the three count. After the match Onita poured water over him and with Sanshiro Takagi’s help, aided in carrying him out of the ring. Kuro-chan begged for forgiveness until Onita told him he has the qualities of a pro wrestler. It’s time for him to enter Mr. Onita’s office for a talk…

The other pre-show match saw Yukio Naya & Keigo Nakamura beat Hideki Okatani & Yuya Koroku. The least experience wrestler of the four Koroku kicked out of Naya’s Scrapbuster and Running Knee Lift. But he was put down with a Choke Slam, giving Naya’s team the win.

At the end of the show, Takagi revealed one last gift for the DDT fans. The final major DDT event of 2021 will take place at Yoyogi Gymnasium #2 on 26th December. It will be DDT’s first time in the venue.

5. Izumi Specialty Special Single Match: Chris Brookes defeated Akito with the Praying Mantis Bomb (13:18).
6. Eruption Vs DAMNATION!: Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Yuji Hino & Mad Paulie when Higuchi pinned Paulie with the Brain Claw Slam (13:04).
7. PIONEER NEXT Presents Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Hideki Okatani defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & MAO when Okada pinned Katsumata with the Sudden Death (20:56).

It was an eventful return home for Jun Akiyama. First of all, believe it or not this was the first time Akiyama had a homecoming match in Izumi City. Ever! Before the main event Junretsu were presented with bouquets from his alma mater’s wrestling club and also from the president of the match sponsor PIONEER NEXT. That president also happens to be Hiroyuki Akiyama, Jun’s younger brother. Akiyama’s team came out on top against THE 37KAMIINA despite Konosuke Takeshita claiming his shoulder is in great shape again. Hideki Okatani took out MAO with the Running Neckbreaker. Akiyama & Yusuke Okada gave Shunma Katsumata a Back Drop/Diving Neckbreaker double team move. Akiyama followed up with the Exploder Suplex and tagged in Okada. Katsumata still had fight left in him and wouldn’t be pinned. Okada declined tagging Akiyama back in and was eventually able to win by himself with the Sudden Death.

After the match Okada explained to Akiyama that he taught him never to read the room while wrestling, which is why he never tagged him back in. Akiyama corrected Okada and said you’re supposed to read the room! He never told him to do the opposite! Okada’s excuse is he misheard him. He then asked Akiyama about something serious. Makoto Oishi, the leader of Junretsu, has been forced to take a long break due to injury. Okada is not a member of Junretsu despite always hanging around Akiyama and the rest of the unit. It was Oishi who first welcomed him to DDT and if he is no longer around, then Okada wants to protect Junretsu for him. So today Yusuke Okada is asking to join Junretsu! Not only that but he also wants to team with Akiyama to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles on 15th August! Akiyama asked for the audience’s opinion and agreed when they gave a positive response.

Eruption got one over DAMNATION in a preview of the next KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match. Yuji Hino posed with his title belt to provoke Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi. He did so again even after Higuchi pinned Mad Paulie to end the match in Eruption’s favour. Backstage Hino blamed the loss on the sake his drank before the match.

For a brief moment, Yuki Ueno had the DDT Universal Title belt given back to him by staff after his match. Unfortunately Daisuke Sasaki gave him a Low Blow and stole the belt again. Even Sasaki admitted that he is a shameless belt thief.

Kazuki Hirata instantly went for the kill against Tetsuya Endo but a Lariat ended his hopes pretty quickly. He asked for a rematch but with special rules to even the odds. In the rematch, Hirata only has to pin Endo for a 2 Count to win but Endo needs to pin Hirata for a 4 Count. Endo agreed and made Hirata submit to a Cross Armbreaker after the restart.

Yukinori Matsui announced he will be producing a show in Abeno Ward Center, Osaka on 17th October.

Kumamoto Castle Hall Civic Hall

6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Tetsuya Endo, Soma Takao & Yuji Hino (c) defeated Toru Owashi, Naomi Yoshimura & Kazuki Hirata when Hino pinned Hirata with the Fucking BOMB (26:55).
*V1 for DAMNATION.

DAMNATION faced a serious challenge from DISASTER BOX. The title contenders dropped the comedy and went in determined to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. It was clear when Kazuki Hirata blocked Tetsuya Endo’s Shooting Star Press, causing big damage to Endo’s ribs. Soma Takao saved the match for DAMNATION by pulling the referee out of the ring while Naomi Yoshimura had Endo pinned. Endo wiped out Toru Owashi & Hirata with the Sasuke Special, leaving Yuji Hino to carry on the heavy lifting from that point on. Hino lifted that load by Fucking BOMBing Yoshimura for the victory.

Endo told they audience that DAMNATION couldn’t afford to lost against such small fish. He accused DDT of leaving him alone after he lost the KO-D Openweight Title to Jun Akiyama back in February (Hisaya Imabayashi denied that) so Endo was going to do something selfish. He demanded the next KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles defence to take place in his hometown of Shiroishi on 18th July! Imabayashi accepted the demand which caught Endo by surprise. He thought there would have been some resistance but the GM said it was fair for the champion to want such a thing. Someone in the audience not paying attention shouted where the show was and Endo responded it is in Shiroishi, a beautiful city just like Kumamoto. That got a good response from the local fans.

Before the semi-main event took place, Saki Akai received a one year pass for Kumamoto Castle Natural Hot Spring (a location previously used for DDT’s Street Wrestling matches) from the director. Then suddenly Shinya Aoki ran into the ring and pinned Akai with a School Boy to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title! Aoki then ran away but was ordered to re-enter the ring to wrestle his tag match happening next. His tag partner Yukio Naya dropped the fall, submitting to the Walls Of Takeshita. The focus then switched to Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno promoting their DDT Vs NOAH match at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021” next week.

Twice now HARASHIMA has won recent matches with the Front Neck Lock to send a message to Akiyama. He got it alright and used the same move to submit Keigo Nakamura while HARASHIMA could only stand nearby and watch. The two had a stare down after the match. Today was the last preview match so next time they are in the ring together is when the KO-D Openweight Title is on the line!

MAO’s unusual movements threw Yuki Iino off his game and left him confused at points. It led to Iino losing his temper and trying to first fight Daisuke Kiso and then Hideki Okatani, thinking they were both MAO. Iino eventually got his head straight but still went charging in for his attacks without thinking. MAO was able to catch Iino with the Michinoku Driver II twice with the second time getting him the win.

Something was odd about Daisuke Sasaki when the 3 Way Match began. He had the kanji “男” (otoko/man, the first character in Danshoku Dieno’s name) written on his forehead and started behaving in a Danshoku-like manner. It was then revealed that Dieno brainwashed him so they could gang up on Shunma Katsumata! After a Lip Lock ref bump happened, Toui Kojima ran into the ring to rescue Katsumata and win approval from The 37KAMIINA. Sasaki grabbed Kojima and they briefly fought outside of the room. Sasaki disappeared but Kojima returned looking like he would rescue Katsumata from Dieno again. Instead Kojima took off his clothes to reveal he was wearing a Danshoku outfit underneath! Kojima grabbed Katsumata to do unspeakable things to him and Yukinori Matsui called off the match once he regained consciousness.

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: HARASHIMA & Yuji Okabayashi (c) defeated Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi when Okabayashi pinned Oishi with the Golem Splash (22:40).
*V1 for Smile Pissari.

Smile Pissari recorded their first title defence one week after becoming the new KO-D Tag Team Champions. The match also served as a preview for Jun Akiyama Vs HARASHIMA coming this June. A title change nearly happened when Akiyama gave Yuji Okabayashi the Exploder Suplex. Makoto Oishi went in for the kill by using the Fujiyama Knee Lock but that was broken up by HARASHIMA using the Somato on him. HARASHIMA used the same move on Akiyama while Okabayashi dropped Oishi with a Power Bomb. The finish then came when Okabayashi pinned Oishi with the Golem Splash. After the match Okabayashi told HARASHIMA it is an honour to team with him. He also said HARASHIMA looks good holding a tag team championship but he looks best with a singles title! HARASHIMA thanked the fans for travelling to the show during bad weather in the area.

It’s been around a year and a half since DDT was last in Niigata. For Super Sasadango Machine it felt like five. That doesn’t mean he missed the place. No, he’s grown tired of his hometown and is sick of pretending the local food is delicious. So Sasadango is joining DAMNATION with Daisuke Sasaki’s permission! He gets to wrestle five times a month and get paid 200,000 yen for it. What a deal! The move turned the 6-Man Tag match into a 4 Vs 2 Handicap. Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda were in trouble until Honda called in Toui Kojima for help. Kojima arrived carrying a bag of food from a nearby Italian restaurant and Honda convinced Sasadango to try it. Sasadango took off his mask, ate the food and his eyes went wide open. It’s the most delicious meal he’s ever eaten! Sasadango immediately quit DAMNATION and rejoined the other team to fight for Niigata. Unfortunately, Sasaki countered the Vertical Drop Lehmann Shock into the Cross Facelock and Sasadango tapped out.

Tetsuya Endo said his win over Yusuke Okada was too easy. He doesn’t care what Okada wants to do in DDT, he will never surpass him! Okada himself seems to agree today’s result was a major setback for him. Whatever positive evaluation he got from his match with Yuki Ueno last month must have got him carried away. He scored himself -100 for his performance.

Today is Gorgeous Matsuno’s 60th birthday! DDT had a big match put together for him but Kazuki Hirata ruined it by getting himself disqualified 16 seconds in. Hisaya Imabayashi called them all idiots. Why did Hirata attack MAO with a chair when he normally never does that? Why did Yukinori Matsui call for the DQ when he could at least pretend he didn’t see it? Why did they start fighting before Matsuno’s friends and Sanshiro Takagi could get into the ring for the bouquet presentation? He ordered the match to restart so Matsuno could be treated like the star like he’s supposed to be. Matsuno did his entrance again and received the bouquet from his friends and Takagi in the ring. Once the commemorative photo was taken, the rematch began. Hirata attacked MAO with the chair again and this time Matsui ignored it. Matsuno got to be the hero by stopping Hirata’s chair attack. Danshoku Dieno got rid of Shunma Katsumata with the Danshoku Driver and Matsuno got to do the Gorgeous Superstar Elbow onto MAO. He set MAO up for the Nembutsu Power Bomb but MAO countered it into a Jackknife Pin to steal the win. Imabayashi complained at The 37KAMIINA for ruining Matsuno’s birthday but Matsuno suddenly cut him off. Matsuno explained that pro wrestling is a serious game. He fought seriously today and he lost. This is reality that will motivate him to do better tomorrow. Matsuno thanked the fans for coming to see his match and told them his next goal is to wrestle at 70 years old. He then sang everyone a song and everyone celebrated with him.

Keigo Nakamura was rendered unconscious after his match with Eruption. But somehow in a knocked out state he tried to pin Saki Akai with a School Boy in a failed attempt to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Akai kicked out at two and Yukio Sakaguchi kicked Nakamura for daring to do such a thing, whether he realized it or not.

YAROZ “YAROZ PART 9 ~THE SAME DAY AND SAME VENUE DECISIVE BATTLE WITH THE FATEFUL BOYZ! NEVER LOSE TO THOSE WHO ARE POPULAR! RAISE UP THE YAROS! SHOW OFF A MAN’S STORY OF BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS!~”, 04/04/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall 1st Floor
100 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yusuke Okada “YaroZ” Welcome Match: Antonio Honda & Yusuke Okada defeated Yuki Iino & Keigo Nakamura when Honda pinned Nakamura with a Sunset Flip (8:11).
2. Yukio Naya “YaroZ Tradition” Trial 5th Match Round 1: Danshoku Dieno Vs Yukio Naya ended in a Double Countout (10:37).

4. FFF (Fundoshi For Future) Match: Yukio Sakaguchi and Hoshitango defeated Nobuhiro Shimatani after the Birthday Double Press (4:27).
5. YaroZ-gun Vs BOYZ-gun Full Scale Battle!: Kazusada Higuchi, Toru Owashi & Ken Ohka defeated Makoto Oishi, Kazuki Hirata & Yuki Ueno when Ohka pinned Hirata with the Flame Spear (11:26).

Today in Itabashi Green Hall there were two competing shows taking place at the same time. The 1st Floor was the location of the YaroZ show for men. In the regular room on the 2nd Floor where the pro wrestling shows are held was the BOYZ show for women. There would be invasions from both sides on both shows taking place throughout the day.

Midway through the show the special guest Tsukasa Wachi was kidnapped by a squad of BOYZ wearing bath towels led by Makoto Oishi. It was up to Kazusada Higuchi, Toru Owashi & Ken Ohka to rescue her in the main event. Oishi tried to lure Higuchi and Owashi over to the BOYZ side with the promise of Higuchi looking cool in front of Wachi and Higuchi getting booked in the BOYZ main event. When Owashi realized he was getting tricked, he lost his temper and used lucha to get rid of Kazuki Hirata & Yuki Ueno. All of the BOYZ ganged up on Ohka but an opportunity opened up for the YaroZ to do a train attack. Hirata was singled out and was beaten with Ohka’s Flame Spear.

Oishi refused to let Wachi go after the match when an unlikely figure came to the rescue. Yusuke Okada attacked Oishi with a Back Elbow and freed Wachi! He learned how important the YaroZ fans are and finally accepts he is YaroZ both physically and mentally. Yukio Naya invited Wachi to come over to the post-show party at his family’s restaurant. She declined with the made up excuse that she has a photoshoot to attend at 4am. Tetsuya Endo then walked by ready to leave the venue and Wachi ran over to join him. She told him it’s time to go and they made their exit. Ohka had to remind everyone they are not doing pro wrestling to be popular but because they are YaroZ!

The 3 Way match involved Yukio Sakaguchi, Hoshitango and Nobuhiro Shimatani all wrestling in fundoshi. Shimatani had his fundoshi pulled off so he was left defenceless in order to hide his shame. Sakaguchi and Hoshitango ganged up on him until they got the double pin to both be declared the winners. Shimatani complained that he might get fired because of this so Sakaguchi and Hoshitango both agreed to take off their fundoshi as a show of solidarity. The three of them had to be forcibly removed from ringside.

Wachi’s original role on the show was to be the ring girl for the MMA match. She wanted to take off a piece of clothing after every round so everyone wanted the match to take as long as possible. However Brother Mon was told by CyberAgent’s compliance officer before the show warning him he’ll be fired if things get out of control. So Mon told Yukinori Matsui to do a proper officiating job. Instead Matsui complained when Shinya Aoki immediately tapped out Gota Ihashi and forced the match to restart. Matsui allowed Aoki to beat up Ihashi for four rounds so Wachi could take off more clothes but that ended when Brother Mon counted Aoki pinning Ihashi to end the match. Matsui attacked Mon and chaos was about to break out when Wachi stripped down to her swimsuit to stop everyone from fighting. The BOYZ then broke into the show to kidnap her and set up the main event.

Yukio Naya was introduced as Reiwa YaroZ because his father is Heisei Yaroz and his grandfather was Showa YaroZ. Danshoku Dieno saw this as strong preparation for his upcoming match with Jun Akiyama. Their match was interrupted by the Keisuke Ishii Vs MAO match from BOYZ that somehow made its way downstairs. Dieno and Naya then brawled there way upstairs to BOYZ show. While they were gone the ring announcer tried to keep everyone occupied by guessing who X was going to be at today’s New Japan show. Dieno and Naya reappeared with Yuki Iino behind them wearing Dieno’s wrestling gear. Dieno and Iino kept giving each other Lip Locks and everyone was counted out before Naya could make it back to the ring. The hosts Brother Mon and Brother Tommy at least thought it was revolutionary to have two wrestling matches interact with each other at the same time.

The beginning of the show was delayed for three minutes because Yusuke Okada and Toru Owashi both snuck off to try and join the BOYZ show. They were dragged back and Okada had to wrestle his opening match with Antonio Honda, Yuki Iino and Keigo Nakamura. He stormed off afterwards but saw the light later in the show. Meanwhile Honda, Iino & Nakamura had to prepare for wrestling in the BOYZ main event.
