(DOVE) Dove vs STRONGHEARTS "THE COLLISION" (31st January 2021)

"The clash doesn't end today"
(Kyohei Kinoshita)

Event was sold out on the door, with the show being streamed live on TWITCH as a PPV. Dove & STRONGHEARTS had a skirmish the day before on the 30th. 

Kabuki Kid was not actively on the card, but he came to the venue and participated as an announcer. He drank a Highball on the way home, reflecting on the future possibilities of Dove video and distribution.

Gunso & "brother" YASSHI vs Shoichi Uchida & Kenshin Chikano 

YASSHI got on the microphone after the match, and inflamed the war between Dove and STRONGHEARTS, in which he declared the start of the battle between the two teams. 

WINNER: Gunso with a diving headbutt on Shoichi Uchida (9 minutes, 27 seconds)

T-Hawk vs Ray Paloma
~ Ray has turquoise colored hair, which matched his turquoise Dias De Los Muertos themed tights. 
~ Was said to have been a very one sided match

WINNER: T-Hawk with the Night Ride (11 minutes, 43 seconds)

Issei Onitsuka & Jun Masaoka vs TiiDA & Kyohei Kinoshita (Part 2)
Winner: Kyohei Kinoshita with a German Suplex on Issei Onitsuka (13 minutes, 10 seconds)

CIMA vs Naoki Tanizaki

Brawls between the seconds broke out, which caused the match to go "No Contest" when the brawl entered the ring and long suffering referee, Yoshino, was dropkicked from behind. Match closed out with both Dove & STRONGHEARTS facing off, Dove were all holding chairs, and Naoki Tanizaki had a chair duel with CIMA. As the venue faded to black, both sides left the ring leaving their weapons in a pile. The war will be continued on 14th February. 

Winner: No contest, match was abandoned after 19 minutes and 15 seconds.

(DOVE) VAPER wrestler Naoki Tanizaki's Handle with Care Battle News! ~ Dove pro wrestling and rivalry

20th January 2021
Battle-News.com

This is Naoki Tanizaki from Dove Pro Wrestling. 

The state of emergency in Kanto and the other major areas has finally been issued. I wince at the report of the number of infected people in the daily news, but be firm with yourself and take all possible measures against infectious diseases.

In Osaka, Gunso was exclaiming the declaration of the state of emergency before Governor Yoshimura (see his Twitter). Relax, there was no coercion just because he shouted about it, (laughs). I was depressed in 2020 because Osaka Mixture, an on-the-spot decision-making event, couldn't be held due to Coronavirus. I hope we can see all the signs of recovery this year.

Finally, the curtain of the fight rose! 
It was a battle between us, Dove Pro Wrestling VS STRONGHEARTS, but one of the opponents, El Lindaman, was found to be positive for Coronavirus. The other members, who had been in close contact, were negative. It was a situation of taking care and refraining from activities, so the curtain did not rise on the rivalry. There are other wrestlers who say they have been infected with corona, and I feel that the wave of infection is approaching the pro wrestling world.
When the war started, an invisible enemy blocked us, and so that this heat does not cool down I would like to keep the tension until the fight, and challenge with that. Regarding the competitive fight with STRONGHEARTS, when I comes to the opponents I think each wrestler has various opinions and thoughts, but I personally have many of my own about the VS industry. I also think of it as a fight against fans who don't know VS Dove Wrestling. I want to let them know that such an intense and exciting fight is taking place in a corner of the pro wrestling world which is a world that seems to be wide, but in reality it is smaller than expected. I want to take that stimulus to Dove. I want to release more and more stimulus and heat than I had felt in the battle against BASARA.

There is a relative competition with promotions who are passively seen in the papers, on the WEB, SNS etc in their struggles. I want to create a fight and a wave of energy that can only be felt here. I want as many people as possible to actively know about Dove wrestling! I want you to come to the venue!
I have an idea. 
As I mentioned earlier, we have been competing against BASARA, led by Isami Kodaka, each summer. There was no particular relationship between the two promotions, but the number of wrestlers, the scale of the two promotions, both have the wrestler-manager heading them etc. With people so alike and so cool, we fought with each other for pride, not wanting to lose to those guys. At the time it was held in a crowded venue with the atmosphere of being completely drunk, and the event was held in heat and wild abandon. Due to the atmosphere created by that space, each match must have been classed as best bout. 

I will never forget the summer of 2018. The event at Shinjuku Face at BASARA, was sometimes said to have been a part of DDT'S Beer Garden Wrestling week. The sale of alcohol was by far the best in the week, and I heard that the alcohol prepared was not enough, and had to be added from the nightclub. For this, both the Dove and BASARA sides were secretly pleased! I think it was emotional to say the least. The Dove World Heavyweight title match vs Fuminori Abe was also stimulated by his potential, and the Dove style sound. It was uplifted by the cheers of the seconds, and the seismic like cheers from fans, still remains in my body. The situation, the timing, the atmosphere, and everything that had led up to that point, made it one of my best bouts. 

Although time has passed since the beginning of the fight, I strongly want to spread that intensity that seems to ascend to the heavens, and I want to spread it more and more to opponents, fans and others. I hope you will come to a Dove venue, which has a special underground aura that everyone in the know knows, which gives it the feel of a unique promotion. I feel like progression has been delayed since the beginning of the fight, but please come and feel this energy!

(DOVE) VAPER wrestler Naoki Tanizaki's Handle with Care Battle News! ~Dove, a grand finale, STRONGHEARTS and New Years~

6th January 2021
BattleNews.com

This is Naoki Tanizaki from Dove Pro Wrestling. Happy New Year! We look forward to seeing you again this year!

At the end of 2020 there was a Dove event in Hiroshima. There was a time when the event was in danger of not happening, and there were various restrictions, but thank you very much to everyone who came!
Champion Kenshin Chikano won the fierce battle, and defended the belt. BROTHER & Tida's Ghetto Playerz were also able to get revenge, and thanks to all of you, the last performance of Dove in 2020 became a grand finale. The balance of the DJ linked to the fight, was also the best this time as well.
The intense cries of the soul from the Dove fans, were truly in the ring. At the same time there is a thank you to everyone who watched the guerrilla delivery of the Hiroshima event, which commemorated the number of subscribers to the Dove YouTube channel reaching 1,000! I would like to increase the number of subscribers, so please spread it.

And there is also VS #STRONGHEARTS. 
At J-STAGE in Tokyo, I came to their event to ignite the hellfire. After all, the act of intruding raises the tension. The people who enjoy irregularities, the people who know who we are, the people who wonder who we are, the people who welcomed us with a feeling of anticipated, and those who booed; by sensing the feelings of each fan there and then, we can create both energy for our opponents and the match venues. Furthermore, the world these days is something you can get a sense from direct from the web. The attitude of having to take a stand by talking is frustrating, after all, I am a pro wrestler.
We are Dove. From this point on the result of the fight is everything. Whether you meet us in the ring, on the street, in the waiting room, or in the bar, at all times we will be ready to fight, and unknown to them, they will be sunk into the Dove style swamp. 

Of course, like many people, pro wrestlers are also deeply packed with docu-drama. Some people know the past of others, there are some who know the future. There is no doubt that the competition will accelerate continuously, as each wrestler on STRONGHEARTS also has their own feelings and thoughts. So, with that in mind, it's a good time to delve into the docu-drama behind the filter of entertainment. Enjoy the fight in front of you, and dive into the hellfire of this rivalry in style!

On December 30th, Kobe Kasuro Pro Wrestling put an end its history, and evolved into the promotion, KOBE Meriken Wrestling. 
Kobe Kasuro Wrestling was sponsored by Mr Fujimaga, the owner of Cafe Bar Ring Soul in Motomachi, Kobe. The atmosphere was very similar to Dove, and each time I enjoyed the match more than the customers. I was desolate that it was the last one, but it was from the last Kobe Kasuro Pro to the true next stage. 

On the 31st, it was the annual New Years Eve pro wrestling. The event occurs each year, but due to the situation with the virus, it was held in two parts in the morning and in the evening. I took part in the evening. I have missed this twice in the past due to influenza and food poisoning, but this time I was able to participate healthily. It was a match that Dove provided, and so I was fighting against members. Everything ended well, and I was able to rise at the end of 2020. I think in various ways a lot of things were suppressed last year, but let's start the New Year hoping that things will erupt!
