(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!

(DOVE) Notes from "Bump Bump Revolution 16" (20th December 2020, Hiroshima Hop Marina)

"Dove's champion never sleeps" Do you remember this phrase?" ~ "brother" YASSHI

*This was Chikano's first defense

THE EVENT

~ As they weren't teaming together, both Shoichi Uchida and Ray Paloma kept their pants on. However, while this was true of Uchida, Ray stood up from his chair, which was near Referee Yoshino and let's just say, parts of the back of the pants were down. Yoshino muttered why "this person had to stop here and start doing something", and that it was probably a mistake for him to be wearing pants. Ray said a picture was 500 yen. 

~Shoichi Uchida came out with his baby doll (he's a divorced father of four and is honked constantly for child support), and handed it to referee Yoshino, who wore an undisguised look of disgust. Then a fight broke out, and Referee Yoshino put it very gently in the corner. Fans found it creepy looking. 

~Fans called the first match a "generational struggle". 

~ Kyohei Kinoshita and Ultimate Spider Jnr, danced on entry. Naoki Tanizaki said he was doing a shuffle dance with them. Jun Masaoka didn't dance, but Ultimate Spider Jnr hinted that this was because he hadn't practiced with them.

~ Gunso came out with his trademark knives, but as this was not a hardcore match, he didn't use them (not that it has to be a hardcore match)

~ The second match was called "Dove's Smart Criminal" (Kabuki Kid) vs "Dove's City Pop Star" (Ray Paloma, who is from Hiroshima...he claims the Atomic Dome). 

~ Kabuki Kid was told off for raking Ray's eyes, poking them, low blow back kick, and punching with a closed fist. Outside the ring, he sprayed disinfectant at him. 

~ Ray was scolded for dancing through the customers by the long suffering referee. "The Long Suffering Referee" later found his hotel room had been upgraded to two single beds, and a strange looking sofa. The bed was so comfy and he was so tired, he fell asleep immediately. 

~ YASSHI, shall we say, did a kind of reverse cupcake to his opponents.

~ TiiDa apparently fainted after the match, and had no idea that his team had won. He said he was immensely grateful to YASSHI for coming to check on him.

TRIVIA

~ According to YASSHI, the Dove tag belts are made from beer cans.

Pro Wrestling & Kakutougi News Site\Yahoo.co.jp

16th December 2020

"I have a lot to talk about, but I would like to talk a little about Dove's upcoming Hiroshima event in four days time. As the number of people infected with Corona increases in Hiroshima, although we feared that the event would be threatened, we continued to review the situation and we will hold it with perfect measures!

"BUMP BUMP REVOLUTION 16"

The event is titled this, but it is literally a passive revolution. This means that we are going to revolutionize by being passive, which is a skill unique to professional wrestlers. Receive, receive, endure, endure, find a way out, turn it into a revolution. It seems like a microcosm of life, being passive in the attacks of a spreading virus. Endurance is not the end, turn around and make a revolution!

The title match of the 11th champion Kenshin Chikano vs Ryota Nakatsu, for the Dove World Heavyweight, is the featured highlight of this time.

The former champion, Naoki Tanizaki, held the belt for about a year and a half, and won a belt vs belt match with Isami Kodaka, who I think of as my nemesis. Kenshin was the one who took the belt, which has an increased value by repeated defense battles overseas, and became the current champion and bought his history to it. Kenshin, who used to be dominant in a tag team with YO-HEY as the GinGin Boys, has emerged as a singles wrestler as his partner has left. Nowadays it seems that his ego and his determination to stand out as a single wrestler and to carry the promotion has come out. His opponent, Ryota Nakatsu, is the young leader who leads a unit called Sparky in Pro Wrestling BASARA. In BASARA we are teammates, and he is a powerful person who has regained UNION MAX for himself. There is also a sense of balance that makes me cannot believe he has only a six year career. Yes, both are wrestler who defeated me (laughs). Since they are equal in strength, I really don't know the result of this match.

The hot souls suit the words "Good Rival" who wrap the venue in enthusiasm each time. In the process I want you to burn. 

Kenshin took the belt at the end of last year, but due to the influence of the Coronavirus, this will be his first defense. 

There is also the Dove Tag Championship that has currently flowed out. 

The moment when the belt was lost, members of Dove Wrestling (Naoki Tanizaki, Kenshin Chikano, Jun Masaoka and Kyohei Kinoshita (REAL HIPSTAR), put their names forward, but it was BROTHER Yasshi who declared "Your rival will take the image of this asshole". As they had declared, the team of BROTHER & TiiDa (note, formerly known as Tida Heat), won the 3 WAY match at the Shinjuku FACE event in September, and now they will stand before the team of GAINA & HUB again. In the 12th tag team, they are perfect in that there is no gap in the individual ability of the career and their teamwork, there is the closeness of BROTHER and TiiDa (Ghetto Playerz), BROTHER'S passion. I want you to take the belts with the momentum of TiiDa who left Ryukyu Dragon Pro wrestling to become a freelancer! 

This will also be the first defense of the champions. 

Of course, there are other good cards at Dove Wrestling, which will challenge your feelings with a big match each time. Everyone who is planning to watch the event, please come and take all possible measures to prevent infection."

(DOVE) Handle with care! Battle News of vaper wrestler, Naoki Tanizaki ~ Pleased to meet you, Dove Wrestling~

"Nice to meet everyone who reads Battle News. I am Naoki Tanizaki, a wrestler who enjoys using VAPE, who belongs to Dove Wrestling. For those who are old or new readers, and those who are not familiar with me, I will be responsible for writing a column here every other week, I thank you for your continued support.

I think it would be quicker if you referred to Wikipedia for background etc. However, although there are some subtle differences in the Wiki (laughs). By nature, I don't hate writing, so with some trial and error I want to send this off while having fun. By the way, in the past, I wrote a column each week at a promotion that I belonged to for many years, and at the DDT sponsored Bastard Z produce, there was the Erotic Novel Deathmatch, where I participated in the match by reading it out loud. I have also been informed that the short story I wrote is one of the most highly rated works that has passed the second screening in the Gentosha contest, and I have been contacted to take charge of it. 

I will talk about that matter and VAPE again. 

Although this introduction is long, I would like to write an intro about the about the encounter with a promotion called Dove Wrestling, to which I currently belong. 

I first encountered Dove in 2015, about five years ago. Until then, I had only participated in DragonGate and a few other promotions, but when I first saw the video, it was love at first sight. It was the same impact as seeing pro wrestling for the first time in the second year of Junior High School!

It's not large, but it has an underground atmosphere of a live music club which is crowded with closely packed spectators. During the match, I was fascinated by how the DJ was enthusiastic about the sound, and the quality of the matches were not that of an indie group. I fell in love at first sight. It was an atmosphere that was filled with my favorite elements. Even though I still belonged to DragonGate at the time, I wanted to fight in this ring! Through a drinking buddy I got in touch with "Uchi" (Shoichi Uchida), who belongs to Dove, and my wish came true with the first offer*. 

At Club AgeHa (formerly the Dotonbori Arena, and now a hostel), I had a singles match with YO-HEY (who currently belongs to Noah) on August 23rd 2015. From that first participation, the urge of the libido still remained, and so I asked a friend who is a GOGO dancer to enter with me. 

I can't say that there were many customers, but the tightly packed crowd who were very drunk and in an atmosphere where amazing things like the sound from the DJ, the lighting, and the extraordinary pro wrestling was accelerating further, I left satisfied, refreshed with alcohol and excited. It felt good.

Dove Wrestling broadcasts past matches on YouTube every Wednesday from 21:00 JST, and also has live broadcasts with guest commentary. Search for "Dove Wrestling" (or ダブプロレス), watch, click the like button and subscribe to the channel".

*In English we would term this as a "try-out"

(DOVE): GYM WARS #53: Devil's Acre

21st November
Tiger Gym, Hiroshima

Card

Gunso & Kabuki Kid vs Ultimate Spider Jnr & Hiromasa Koyama

"brother" YASSHI & Kyohei Kinoshita vs Shoichi Uchida & Tatsuya Matsubo 

Information is sparse, so this is only a brief outline of what may have happened. Some details may be missing or incorrect, but I have tried to get as much information as I can. 

Ultimate Spider Jnr and Hiromasa Koyama started the match attacking young Kyohei Kinoshita who was at ringside, only to get chased off by Gunso and Kabuki Kid.  

During the match Gunso suddenly stopped Kabuki Kid using a chair, and then attacked him, and opened his jacket (with a big grin) to reveal he was wearing a tank top with the word "DEVIL" written on it. It was later discovered that Kabuki Kid was also wearing the same tank top, which caused everyone to recoil in shock with "Otosan!" ("Father"). 

I'm not too sure on the next details as they are vague, but it seems like there is some kind of connection between Kabuki Kid and Ultimate Spider Jnr, with Spidey telling him to "Take responsibility!" and "Do what you like with me!" Kabuki Kid said that as whatever had happened was a long time ago, let's just forget it, but Ultimate Spider Jnr refused to be mollified and got a chair and sat in the middle of the ring and refused to move. No amount of pleading would make him. 

So in the end Gunso and Koyama picked him up in his seat, and tipped him out of the ring.

With thanks to: Yoshio Chief, Hina.  

(DOVE) COSTUME RESEARCH: Naoki Tanizaki

While pursuing a style that "comes nicely" to himself, in addition to shorts with deep slits, baseball shirts have recently taken hold. Tanizaki talks about his commitment to mesmerising fans both in his match and visually.

HAIRSTYLE

Hairstyles continue to change, such as cuts and perms, but he has dreadlocks currently. 

"I usually have a normal hairstyle, but I go through various cycles. It's a cycle that after a long time that makes me want to play trying to apply a braid or a perm. I get it done on a friends rate (laughs).

BASEBALL TOP

The shirt has both the Dove and the Osaka Mixture logos, and the number "116" is on the back. 

"The jersey number can be black or a when I am with Sparky, yellow, but the number itself I am particular about. The details are a company secret. Also, I found the brand in England, "Superdry", and I change the letters bit by bit."

GLOVES

He wears long gloves and red taping which wrap around the wrists. 

"Because I wear a baseball shirt, the taping needs to be wrapped longer, so I think it is better to wear gloves. I found them and bought them at home improvement stores. Recently, I have been using Russian hook punches, although it's a foul, it gives some consideration to the opponent" (laughs).

HALF PANTS & SHORTS

A deep slit is on the side of the long shorts, which hang over wrestling boots, kneepads and shin guards. 

"The slits have completely eliminated the damage the costume takes, which I think was ground breaking. I designed it myself when I was in Mexico, thinking "I wonder if this is okay", and it maybe still is. Regarding the color, the asymmetric boom has come to me recently."

Naoki Tanizaki, who excites the venue with his intense fight, has been sticking to the half pants style almost consistently since his debut, but has arrived at a type that have slits in it. 

"At first, I used to wear shorts, but the area between the buttocks was pulled and immediately torn. That is why I thought, I am going to cut it and so I put a slit in, and the costumes are no longer damaged". 

Another thing that has recently taken root is the baseball shirt style jacket that he wears during matches. This shirt has a meaning as team wear. Shirts have taken root in the last four years, with ones prepared for the fight between Dove and BASARA. 

"I am always fighting with Dove on my back, so wherever I go this is to keep in mind the feelings of the rivalry."

  

In the past he wore pants and skirts that are similar to mixed martial arts. He tried various types, but now he has found the best style and it has naturally reverted to this form. 

"Recently, I haven't had many opportunities to get a lot of attention from Weekly Pro, and I want to spread Dove Pro Wrestling even more. When Corona calms down, I want to hold a super crowded event, and do another Osaka Mixture!"

(DOVE) Notes from "The Road To Bump Bump Revolution 2020" (3rd November 2020, Osaka)

BROTHER Yasshi acted as the MC, welcoming everyone to the show. One fan said that they cried to see Dove in Osaka again, especially at this time of year, and it was very good today. The event will probably be shown on NicoNico, and I have enclosed some YouTube links below. I don't have too much information, and what I have managed to get I have summarised below.

RESULTS
Naoki Tanizaki defeated Tidal Heat (Implant Bomb, 13 mins 39 seconds)
Shinya Ishida defeated Kabuki Kid (Deformed Crucifix, 11 mins, 16 seconds)
BROTHER Yasshi defeated Keita Yano (Nice Jamaica, 11 mins, 10 seconds)
Jun Masaoka & Kohei Kinoshita defeated Ray Paloma & Shoichi Uchida  (Masaoka with Ambitions on Paloma, 13 mins, 4 seconds)
Ryota Nakatsu & Fuminori Abe defeated GUNSO & Kenshin Chikano (Nakatsu with Triangle choke arm bar on Chikano, 15 minutes, 6 seconds)

Keita Yano vs BROTHER Yasshi (Winner, BROTHER Yasshi)

YASSHI praised Yano for this match afterwards on the microphone. 

Jun Masaoka & Kyohei Kinoshita vs Shoichi Uchida & Ray Paloma (Winner Masaoka with a facebuster on Ray)

A wild match, which started off debatably normal, and then predictably the wheels fell off (or should that be the pants were pulled down) and it got wild. 

Shoichi Uchida (who today celebrates sixteen years in pro wrestling), came to the ring with a baby doll, his banner pleading for help for child support, and apparently a sparkly gold vest, which he reappeared wearing after he and Ray hid under the ring half way through the match. 

Then Uchida's pants got pulled down by Kyohei Kinoshita, leading the long suffering referee, Yoshino, to tell him that the way he was wearing it was no good, so to put some clothes on. Yoshino's words fell on deaf ears, however, as Ray also had his around his ankles. One person who did put clothes on was Kinoshita, who apparently stole and eventually wore, Uchida's sparkly yellow top. Ray wore a red sparkly one, which led Jun Masaoka to comment that his first encounter with him was shocking, but not because anything that Ray did, rather it was his choice of wardrobe. 

Ryota Nakatsu & Fuminori Abe vs Gunso & Kenshin Chikano

Ryota Nakatsu won the match by defeating Kenshin Chikano (who is the Dove champion) with an armbar, and he challenged him for the title. Kenshin accepted, and the title challenge has been set for 20th December in Hiroshima for "Bump Bump Revolution".
