Hooray there’s finally something to write about again. DDT’s attempt at launching a new weekly series three weeks ago to replace the cancelled schedule was put on hold as quickly as it was announced. This May they are trying to launch DDT TV SHOW again with an episode airing on DDT UNIVERSE every Saturday. Here is the card for this week’s debut episode.

DDT “DDT TV SHOW! #1”, 02/05/2020
DDT TV SHOW Studio

1. Yoshihiko Vs Yuki Iino
2. 3 Way Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Naomi Yoshimura Vs MAO
3. HARASHIMA & Pokotan Vs Chris Brookes & Maki Itoh
4. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Danshoku Dieno (c) Vs Akito
5. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Antonio Honda
6. Right To Challenge For The KO-D Openweight Title Sword: Tetsuya Endo Vs Kazusada Higuchi

The sword currently under Tetsuya Endo’s possession no longer signifies the main event spot for Saitama Super Arena. Instead it represents a KO-D Openweight Title shot for whoever holds it. So it is pretty much just like the gauntlets, except sharper, pointier and a bigger risk of getting arrested if you’re seen carrying it in public. Kazusada Higuchi still gets his chance to take the sword from Endo.

The planned DDT UNIVERSAL Title match between Daisuke Sasaki and Antonio Honda takes place here. Honda has found time to keep in skills sharp by wrestling in Gatoh Move while Sasaki has been drinking and giving poor relationship advice on Youtube.

The NEO Itoh Respect Army are already making threats on Twitter about what they are going to do to Pokotan. This will be the first time HARASHIMA and Maki Itoh will wrestle each other outside of a Battle Royal.

Wrestle Peter Pan 2020 Suspended

April 23, 2020

Today DDT announced that “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2020” will no longer be going ahead on 7th June. The big event of 2020 for DDT was due to take place in Saitama Super Arena but cannot go ahead because of the current spread of COVID-19 across the world. A new date for the venue is currently being worked on and will be announced when a decision is made. Kenny Omega sent a message to the DDT fans saying Coronavirus has changed everybody’s lives. It prevents him from travelling so he cannot go overseas to wrestle and see people again. All he can do for now is stay at home with his pets and wait. He promises when the time comes he will fly over to Japan right away and reunite with his DDT family.

Wrestlers Meet With House Of Representatives

April 15, 2020

Wrestlers representing several pro wrestling companies visited Japan’s House Of Representatives today to meet with Hiroshi Hase. He is a former pro wrestler and more importantly the current Minister For Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. The wrestlers requested medical kits to test for Coronavirus as well as compensation towards contracted pro wrestlers for cancelling all of their shows over the epidemic. According to Bushiroad president Takaaki Kidani, pro wrestlers are currently unable to receive the compensation benefits that were created in response to the current crisis. Pro wrestling contracts are handled differently compared to other careers so adapting it to the current laws is difficult. Up to now it was left to the companies employing these wrestlers to handle compensation pay and they cannot continue if there are no shows taking place to bring in the money.

Among the wrestlers making the visit were Hiroshi Tanahashi (New Japan), Suwama (All Japan), HARASHIMA (DDT), Naomichi Marufuji (NOAH), Mayu Iwatani (Stardom), Yuka Sakazaki (Tokyo Joshi) and Kyoko Inoue (Diana). Also included were management from the same companies including Kidani, Naoki Sugabayashi (New Japan), Takenori Fukuda (All Japan), Masashi Ishiguro (NOAH), Akira Takahashi (DDT), Katsuhiko Harada (Bushiroad), Tetsuya Koda (Tokyo Joshi) and Taishi Fuwa (Diana).

HARASHIMA said that having testing kits on site can give everyone enough peace of mind to begin holding pro wrestling shows again. Sakazaki explained that in the early days of Corona, DDT and Tokyo Joshi were able to hold empty arena shows in their dojo. But the building the dojo is located in also has a nursery school in one of the upper floors above it. That along with using trains as the form of transportation to get there makes the idea of using the dojo for matches more dangerous.

Hase thanked the wrestlers for giving him their views on the matter and agreed on the measures along with further consultation. He told the wrestlers to continue working hard when the time comes for pro wrestling shows to be held again.
