November 11, 2024

DDT/TOKYO JOSHI PRO/DEFY “TRIANGLER DTD”, 10/11/2024
Washington Hall, Seattle, Washington, USA
389 Fans

1. Vert Vixen, Yuki Kamifuku & Moka Miyamoto defeated Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Aino & Arisu Endo when Vixen pinned Endo with a Sit Down Power Bomb (8:38).
2. Bryan Keith defeated Shota with the Diamond Dust (7:59).

5. Miu Watanabe & Suzume defeated Mizuki & Wakana Uehara when Watanabe pinned Uehara with the Tear Drop (10:33).
6. DEFY Women’s Title: Marina Shafir (c) defeated Shoko Nakajima with the Mother’s Milk (14:08).
*V4 for Marina Shafir.
7. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA defeated Yuni with the Wagamama (12:14).
8. DDT Universal Title – 3 Way Match: Gringo Loco defeated Miyu Yamashita (c) and Nick Wayne when Loco pinned Yamashita with the Base Bomb (17:08).
*Miyu Yamashita fails in V1. Gringo Loco becomes the 16th DDT Universal Champion.
9. Special Tag Match: Judas Icarus & Travis Williams defeated MAO & Mike Bailey when Icarus pinned Bailey after the Sudden Silence (22:06).

The Seattle weekender came to an end with DDT, Tokyo Joshi Pro and DEFY all getting together for one big finale. The Moonlight Express were back together as a tag team after being opponents yesterday. Sadly for them their reunion was spoiled by Sinner & Saint. The DEFY team came out on top and think it won’t be the last time you’ll see them in DDT. Afterwards backstage MAO asked Mike Bailey when will he wrestle for DDT in Japan again because the last time he came back to the country it was for another company. Bailey doesn’t know but The Moonlight Express would like to team up in Japan one more time.

Easy come, easy go. Miyu Yamashita’s surprising reign as the DDT Universal Champion has already come to an end when her decision to compete in another 3 Way championship match this weekend blew up in her face. She was able to knock Nick Wayne out of the way with the Skull Kick but still had Gringo Loco to deal with. Loco gave her the Fire Thunder and pinned her with the Base Bomb to become the new Universal Champion! Loco said he is on top of the world and nobody can stop the wave he is riding on. Wayne hates that he lose but also called Yamashita the best joshi in the world and Loco the best luchador. He wants to come back to DDT and win the Universal Title. Yamashita was so shocked over the loss she didn’t give any post-match comments.

The teacher Konosuke Takeshita gave his student Yuni a big test today. Yuni had to fight him one on one to show how much he has grown since their last match together. Yuni gave it his best shot including doing a Dragonrana to Takeshita outside the ring. Takeshita ended up winning and told Yuni to go find a style of wrestling that only he can show to everyone else. When he finds it, the KO-D Openweight Title will be in his reach!

Shoko Nakajima put up a strong challenge for Marina Shafir on short notice but wasn’t able to win the DEFY Women’s Title from her. Shafir said Nakajima will never understand the sacrifices that were made for her to keep this title and she plans to retire undefeated as the champion. Nakajima calls Shafir a monster fighter and she hopes to get a rematch some day.

Miu Watanabe is happy she gets to leave Seattle with some happy memories. After being beaten by Zara Zakher yesterday, Watanabe was able to get a win today with Suzume on her side. Their opponents Mizuki & Wakana Uehara also had a fun time despite losing.

Match #4 was thrown out thanks to the lewd antics of Danshoku Dieno, Randy Myers and also Yoshihiko. Actually it wasn’t just them because Kohei Kinoshita joined in on their shenanigans too much to Daisuke Sasaki’s dismay. Sasaki wants to know why Kinoshita came all the way to Seattle to do even worse things than what he does in Japan? Sasaki will challenge them all to a 3-on-1 Handicap match if he has to get revenge that way!

At least Maki Itoh can say her weekend was all highs with no lows. She teamed up with Zakher and had their hands raised in victory. Zakher wants to continue the momentum when she travels to Japan next week. She plans to bring the Princess Of Princess Title back to America with her. Meanwhile Danika Della Rouge blamed Amira for losing the match and swears she will never team with her again.

It’s been around seven months since Shota went freelance and he admits he’s been struggling to break out. He lost to his friend Bryan Keith today after they weren’t on the same page as a team the day before. He hopes the ass kicking he took today will help motivate him from now on. Keith warned Shota not to go about making him his enemy. He also misses DDT and believes it is only a matter of time before he goes back there to hunt for gold.

Unusual trios were the name of the game for the opening match. Yuki Kamifuku didn’t know what to expect teaming up with Vert Vixen & Moka Miyamoto but they pulled out the win in the end. The other team however were in a bad mood for losing. Arisu Endo is frustrated she took the fall, Yuki Aino felt like she didn’t give it her all and Rika Tatsumi is mad her win rate in America is so bad!

Full Card For Triangler DTD

November 10, 2024

DDT/TOKYO JOSHI PRO/DEFY “TRIANGLER DTD”, 10/11/2024
Washington Hall, Seattle, Washington, USA

1. Maki Itoh & Zara Zakher Vs Amira & Danika Della Rouge
2. Bryan Keith Vs Shota
3. Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Aino & Arisu Endo Vs Vert Vixen, Yuki Kamifuku & Moka Miyamoto
4. Miu Watanabe & Suzume Vs Mizuki & Wakana Uehara
5. Daisuke Sasaki & Kohei Kinoshita Vs Danshoku Dieno & Randy Myers
6. Special Tag Match: MAO & Mike Bailey Vs Judas Icarus & Travis Williams
7. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Yuni
8. DEFY Women’s Title: Marina Shafir (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima
9. DDT Universal Title – 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Nick Wayne Vs Gringo Loco

The busy weekend comes to a close. DDT, Tokyo Joshi Pro and DEFY all join forces to end their series of shows with a bang. Miyu Yamashita is the brand new DDT Universal Champion but she’s taking a big gamble putting the belt on the line on short notice against both Nick Wayne and Gringo Loco. Also Shoko Nakajima shows how brave she is by challenging the seemingly unstoppable Marina Shafir for the DEFY Women’s Title.

Friend might become enemies when Bryan Keith faces Shota based on their tag team falling apart yesterday. Keith doesn’t want to bring out the new side of him that could put his buddy in danger but differences between them need to be settled somehow. Meanwhile Danshoku Dieno & Randy Myers have gone the other way as opponents becoming a tag team. If that’s not enough then what a sight it will be to have Maki Itoh and Zara Zakher teaming up together.

DDT “UTAN FESTA 2024” Results

November 10, 2024

DDT “UTAN FESTA 2024”, 10/11/2024
Tokyo JR Omori Station East Exit Plaza
1,110 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Takeshi Masada & Diego when Paul pinned Diego with the Reverse Splash (9:51).
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku defeated HARASHIMA, Chikara & Yuki Ishida when Endo pinned Ishida with the Burning Star Press (11:03).
3. World Omori Title Next Challenger Battle Royal: Kazuki Hirata and Antonio Honda eliminated each other with a Double Backslide Pin (9:51).
*Order Of Elimination: Demus, Akito, Toru Owashi, Gota Ihashi, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda.
4. KANON defeated Keigo Nakamura with the Vietnam Driver II (10:05).
5. World Omori Title: Masahiro Takanashi defeated Soma Takao (c) with a Cradle (8:47).
*Soma Takao fails in V2. Masahiro Takanashi becomes the 9th World Omori Champion!
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Chris Brookes & Yukio Naya defeated Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y when Brookes pinned To-y with the Praying Mantis Bomb (20:57).

Think there were enough shows happening this weekend? Guess what, there’s more! The DDT roster that didn’t go to America still kept busy by running the annual free outdoor show outside a Tokyo train station. Part of the tradition of these shows is the annual World Omori Title match. Soma Takao was the reigning champion going into today and he lost it to Masahiro Takanashi when the Official Endless Waltz was countered into a cradle that Takao could not kick out of.

The show also had a Battle Royal to determine next year’s No. 1 Contender for the title. It came down to Kazuki Hirata and Antonio Honda but they ended up pinning each other from a Backslide Pin gone wrong. Yukinori Matsui decided that since they both pinned each other that meant they had both become the No. 1 Contenders. Honda had to leave the show after the match while Hirata stuck around to confront Takanashi and promote next year’s title match. Hirata really wanted to have the moment when the champion and challenger glare at each other in the ring while everyone takes pictures of them.

Diego and Gota Ihashi swapped places on the card. Diego was originally booked for the Battle Royal and was moved to the opener. Ihashi was vice versa.

Pom-chan Army: Pom Harajuku, Mahiro Kiryu, Haruna Neko, Kaya Toribami, Toga, Kira Summer, Uta Takami and Yoshiko Hasegawa

Back in Japan all of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster that did not go on the trip to America took part in a team challenge with Raku and Pom Harajuku as the two captains. After drafting their teams, Raku and Harajuku then wrote up an order lineup for their team to secretly determine who will face who on the card. It led to such things like Harajuku having to fight Ryo Mizunami in a singles match while Raku & Ram Kaichow got to continue their married couple tag team gimmick.

By the end of the show the final score was a 3-3 tie. Since the show was sponsored by Yamada Suisan and they were rewarding 10kg of grilled unagi to the winning team, Sayrui Namba revealed there would be a sudden death decision match between Raku and Harajuku. The match also had a One Count Fall rule so it only took half a minute for Raku to pin Harajuku to win the prize for her team. In her victory speech Raku said she is impressed with how much TJPW has grown that they can now run shows in Japan and America on the same day. She wants the message that TJPW is fun to spread out so far that even aliens will know about it.

Today is Yuki Arai’s 11th anniversary of her debut as an idol with SKE48. She said she had a great day because she worked hard for Raku and the grilled unagi.

As mentioned on the Seattle show earlier, TJPW will be in Las Vegas with The Collective for Wrestlemania Week on 18th April, 2025. They will be at the Pearl Theater in Palms Casino Resort and promise it will be TJPW’s biggest show in America yet!

7. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA defeated Kohei Kinoshita with an Avalanche Falcon Arrow (12:41).
8. DDT Universal Title – 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita defeated MAO (c) and Mike Bailey when Yamashita pinned Bailey with the Skull Kick (21:25).
*MAO fails in V1. Miyu Yamashita becomes the 15th DDT Universal Champion!

The packed weekend in Seattle continued on Saturday night when DDT and DEFY worked together for a collaborative show with a shock title change in the main event. Miyu Yamashita has become the first woman to win the DDT Universal Title! The belt was on the line in a 3 Way Match with Yamashita being the third wheel against The Moonlight Express. However MAO and Mike Bailey both fought the match all against each other, which is probably why it costed MAO his championship in the end. He had given Bailey the Avalanche Michinoku Driver II when Yamashita cut him off and then hit Bailey with the Skull Kick to win the match and become champion.

Yamashita already has a match against Gringo Loco scheduled for tomorrow and he quickly challenged her to put the Universal Title on the line. Yamashita accepted until Nick Wayne got in the ring and challenged her too. Yamashita also accepted his challenge and said she will crush both opponents tomorrow in a 3 Way Match! Backstage Yamashita said now is the time not to set her own limits and she wants to defend the titles as many times as she can. Bailey called Yamashita and MAO two of the best wrestlers in the world. He is grateful he got to main event a DDT show again. MAO said he only wanted to defend the title against people he wouldn’t regret losing too and Yamashita is one of those people. He is also happy he got to have a title match against Bailey. He is interested in seeing what Yamashita will do with the Universal Title so he is moving on from that championship for the time being.

Konosuke Takeshita wrestled at an American New Japan show yesterday and an American DDT show today. His opponent Kohei Kinoshita is someone he has known since they were kids so this match meant a lot to those two. Takeshita said matches like these make him feel like a candle in his heart is being lit. If he keeps getting matches like these then a big dream will be waiting for him. Kinoshita was influenced by Takeshita to fall in love with American pro wrestling so it motivated him to pursue it.

Normally it is Daisuke Sasaki who likes being the heel but he got a taste of his own medicine against The Bollywood Boyz when he was given a Low Blow. Gurv Shira & Harv Shira went on to beat Artemis Spencer. The Boyz hope this win will open the door for them to go wrestle in Japan. They are even eager to have a rematch against Sasaki & Spencer in front of the Japanese fans.

Marina Shafir’s appearance on the show was to defend the DEFY Women’s Title against Danika Della Rouge. She won without too much of a threat so Shoko Nakajima came out and challenged her to a title match on tomorrow’s show! She told Shafir she will become the champion because she is the Big Kaiju! Shafir’s response is Nakajima has a small brain and will go home tomorrow in a bag!

The emotions coming out of the DEFY Tag Team Titles match were both high and mixed. The champions C4 retained the belts and called themselves the “Dramatic Dream Team” that wants to come to Japan! Midnight Heat were furious over losing the match without dropping the fall. They had plenty of bad things to say about DDT and Japan. The team that did drop the fall was Bryan Keith & Shota. Keith blamed Shota for losing the match and demanded a singles match against him tomorrow to settle their differences! They’re still friends but Keith warns Shota not to bring out Keith’s new side tomorrow.

High flying action was on the menu for what could be the very first match between an AEW wrestler and a WWE ID wrestler since the reveal of WWE’s new scouting initiative. Wayne ended up winning the match but it wasn’t without a big scratch on his face. He is feeling energized to wrestle in DDT and DEFY again which is what encourage him to challenge for the Universal Title later in the show. Jack Cartwheel wants DDT fans to know that he is the king of cartwheels and they only look funny until they come at your face!

There was an Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title change between Danshoku Dieno and Randy Myers before their match even began. Myers made the smart move of ambushing Dieno during his entrance and pinning him on the floor to win the belt. What Myers didn’t count on was for the match to go ahead anyway and Dieno won the belt back with some unexpected help from Yoshihiko. However Yoshihiko then turned on Dieno after the match and choked him out with a Sleeper Hold to win the title from him!

Gringo Loco thinks Yuni has a great future ahead of him but the present belongs to the “Base God”! He has higher mountains to climb, as shown when he challenged Yamashita for the Universal Title at the end of the show. Yuni is pleased that his dream of wrestling in America came true and Loco is an opponent he had always wanted to face. He is pumped to fight Takeshita tomorrow and even more pumped to beat him!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW BRIGHT EYES” Results

November 10, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW BRIGHT EYES”, 09/11/2024
Washington Hall, Seattle, Washington, USA
405 Fans

1. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Rika Tatsumi & Amira when Suzume pinned Amira with the Ring A Bell (10:21).
2. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Wakana Uehara with the Famouser (7:19).
3. Rebel Kel defeated Moka Miyamoto with a Falcon Arrow (5:45).
4. Mizuki defeated Liiza Hall with the Diving Foot Stomp (11:07).
5. Yuki Aino & Zara Zakher defeated Miu Watanabe & Shoko Nakajima when Zakher pinned Watanabe with the Control Z (16:43).
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) defeated Vert Vixen & Nicole Matthews when Yamashita pinned Matthews with the Skull Kick (24:05).
*V1 for 121000000.

A packed weekend in Seattle began with Tokyo Joshi Pro running their own show with a little help from DEFY. The main event was a familiar scenario for 121000000. They have travelled to America with their newly won Princess Tag Team Titles and do not want a repeat of their last reign that ended in America on their first defence. The odds were better in their favour this time because the challengers Vert Vixen & Nicole Matthews were not a finely tuned tag team like The Magical Sugar Rabbits were. Even with out of the ring brawling and a few mishaps along the way, Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh stayed on the same page, headbutting each other to fire themselves up before beating their opponents.

The champions celebrated with Yamashita thanking the fans while Itoh asked them who is the cutest in the world? Yamashita then invited the entire locker room down to the ring to close out the show with one big group get together. She also announced TJPW’s next US appearance will be in April. TJPW later confirmed the next USA show is at Las Vegas on 18th April for The Collective during Wrestlemania Week.

Backstage Vixen & Matthews blamed each other for losing and argued over cheating (Matthews wanted to cheat more, Vixen prefers to fight clean). Itoh said it would have been traumatic for her if they lost the titles in America again but she won so she’s already forgotten about the last time it happened. Yamashita told her it was because they believed in each other. She also reminded her the goal for this reign is to defend the belts 10 times or else 121000000 will disband. Yamashita also said if she wins the DDT Universal Title at the DDT show tonight she wants to give Itoh a title shot.

Newly signed under the WWE ID initiative, Zara Zakher sure is looking like the belle of the ball right now. An end to a good week has gone even better after she scored a pinfall over Miu Watanabe before their Princess Of Princess Title match back in Japan next week. Shoko Nakajima tried to hold off Zakher as best as she could but Yuki Aino proved to be a good counter for her. Aino gave Watanabe a Running Bulldog while Zakher took out Nakajima with a Spinebuster. She then backflipped past Watanabe and gave her an RKO before pinning her with the Control Z. Watanabe is wondering if she became too overwhelmed by the Seattle fans or if she has become weak. She promised not to lose the title to Zakher on 16th November.

Most of the undercard pitted TJPW against North America. Mizuki beat Liiza Hall in a close fought battle. The Casadora into a Double Stomp left Hall as a sitting duck for the proper Diving Foot Stomp to finish her off. Mizuki likes Hall’s fighting style and gets a happy vibe from her. That’s partly because it was Hall’s first DEFY match in over a year.

Moka Miyamoto lost to Rebel Kel. As much as Miyamoto was excited to wrestle in Seattle, Kel was too full of adrenaline to be stopped by Miyamoto’s Karate skills. The size difference played a part too. Kel was too tall for Miyamoto to use the Rashomon on so Kel powered out of it and pinned Miyamoto with a Falcon Arrow.

The recent success of Yuki Kamifuku is being recognized worldwide because the fans chanted “Queen Of Asia” at her while she fought Wakana Uehara. After winning the match Kamifuku wrapped Uehara’s long hair around her hand and led her away backstage just to add insult to injury. Kamifuku said she is overwhelmed that the fans knew about her wrestling exploits in Southeast Asia and hopes today’s match will inspire Uehara to try doing something in America.

Daisy Monkey defeated Rika Tatsumi & Amira to open up the show. Amira could have pinned Suzume with a Fisherman Suplex but Arisu Endo broke the pin. Daisy Monkey then outmaneuvered their opponents, leading them into a Falling Facecrusher and Mt. Tsuruga double spot. Suzume then pinned Amira with the Ring A Bell. They were happy with the support they got from fans and want to come back.

From Seattle To Tokyo And All Points In Between This Weekend

November 8, 2024

Didn’t have time to write up a newcomers guide to DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro for American fans this weekend. Probably won’t be until Wrestlemania Week next year when I do a new one. But something I do want to post is the little wrinkle that is the new WWE ID program. It is WWE’s new initiative for scouting wrestlers on the independent scene and two of the signings announced earlier today are playing a part in this weekend’s shows with DEFY.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO/DEFY “TJPW BRIGHT EYES”, 09/11/2024
Washington Hall, Seattle, Washington, USA

1. Rika Tatsumi & Amira Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
2. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Wakana Uehara
3. Moka Miyamoto Vs Rebel Kel
4. Mizuki Vs Liiza Hall
5. Miu Watanabe & Shoko Nakajima Vs Yuki Aino & Zara Zakher
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Vs Vert Vixen & Nicole Matthews

Zara Zakher is one of the ID signings which is notable for us because she’s currently in a Princess Of Princess Title program with Miu Watanabe. I don’t see much changing when it comes to TJPW’s plans for her. She can win the tag team match here and then lose next week’s title bout to Watanabe.

DDT/DEFY “DDT IN UTERO”, 09/11/2024
Washington Hall, Seattle, Washington, USA

1. Marina Shafir Vs X
2. Danshoku Dieno Vs Randy Myers
3. 3 Way Tag Match: Cody Chhun & Guillermo Rosas Vs Bryan Keith & Shota Vs Eddie Pearl & Ricky Gibson
4. Gringo Loco Vs Yuni
5. Nick Wayne Vs Jack Cartwheel
6. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Artemis Spencer Vs Gurv Shira & Harv Shira
7. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kohei Kinoshita
8. DDT Universal Title – 3 Way Match: MAO (c) Vs Mike Bailey Vs Miyu Yamashita

The other signing of note is Jack Summit, aka Jack Cartwheel. He will be facing Nick Wayne on the DDT show tomorrow making that match AEW Vs WWE. We are going to find out pretty quickly if there are any stipulations, restrictions or other caveats when it comes to indies booking WWE ID wrestlers with wrestlers attached to companies like AEW. Early word from insiders is that there are no restrictions in place and this match going ahead without incident would be the first piece of evidence towards that being true. You also have to remember Wayne has been a pushed commodity in the past for DEFY so in a world without WWE or AEW connections he would have been the favorite to win this match anyway.

There was an Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title change at the airport while the DDT crew were waiting on their flight. Danshoku Dieno found Yuni sleeping on a bench so he quietly pinned him to become the new champion. It’s not official yet but his match with Randy Myers will have the title on the line unless more 24/7 style title changes happen before then.

BASARA “BASARA 261 ~SOUEN~” Results

November 8, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 261 ~SOUEN~”, 08/11/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Lil’ Kraken defeated Takeru Inoue with the Period. (7:23).
2. Basara Jacket 4 Way Match: Daisuke Sekimoto defeated KUBITO, Gouma Ryu and Banana Senga by TKO when Ryu injured his back giving Sekimoto the Argentine Backbreaker (R3 1:47).
3. SAGAT & Antonio Honda defeated Yasu Urano & Masahiro Takanashi when SAGAT pinned Urano with the Superman Press (14:25).
4. Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Daiki Shimomura with the Tsuki no Ishi (10:19).
5. Isami Kodaka & Minoru Fujita defeated Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida when Kodaka pinned Yoshida with the Modified Samson Clutch (23:12).

On 24th November Isami Kodaka will be challenging Ayato Yoshida for the 2AW Openweight Title at Korakuen Hall. Due to scheduling 2AW were not able to book any prelim matches between the two so BASARA organised one for today. Kodaka’s team went into the match with a small disadvantage because Minoru Fujita wrestled with a dislocated and fractured thumb joint. Yoshida was made to team with Daichi Kazato against his wishes because he had enough of him from his previous BASARA appearance in August. He was right to be concerned because Kazato decided to hurt his own hand before fighting Fujita to make sure it was now an even fight between them. Also Kazato ended up costing Yoshida the match when he missed a Rocket Punch and hit his partner by mistake. Kodaka then put Yoshida in the Modified Samson Clutch for the three count.

Kodaka told Yoshida after the match he will give it his all on 24th November and won’t beat him in a weird way like today. He’s been a champion in many promotions but never for 2AW so he’s looking forward to adding one of their championships to his collection. Fujita also promoted his own match on the show and offered to be in Kodaka’s corner. The two of them allowed Yoshida to close out the show but he got annoyed because he doesn’t understand why they would let him do that. He also got angry at the fans booing his closing speech. Backstage Yoshida said BASARA and its fans are all messed up and full of annoying people.

Gouma Ryu’s bad back became a problem for him again. He wanted to put Daisuke Sekimoto in the Argentine Backbreaker but didn’t have the strength to lift him. KUBITO and Banana Senga helped Ryu commit to the move but when Ryu lifted Sekimoto onto his shoulders his back went out and he had to give up the match. Sekimoto wanted to read out a legal indictment out of the match but Senga interrupted him. Senga then revealed the Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial will return next time.

The Period. (the full stop is intentional) used by Lil’ Kraken is a Standing Shining Wizard.
