6b. Antonio Honda (1) submitted MJ Paul (1) with an Arm Bar (11:56).
6c. Daisuke Sasaki (2) submitted Chris Brookes (1) with the Crossover Face Lock (6:47).

As DDT gets closer to Sumo Hall, one of the last stops left was at Shinjuku FACE for some more previews of what to expect at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2024”. In the main event DAMNATION T.A went ahead of SCHADENFREUDE International in their feud filled with different multi-man tag stipulations. Today’s match was Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls. DAMNATION took the first fall with a surprise attack at the start followed by Daisuke Sasaki grabbing Masahiro Takanashi from the apron so Ilusion could pin him with a Cradle. SCHADENFREUDE used their own tricks to win the second fall with Chris Brookes using tape to stick Sasaki’s hands together and Antonio Honda making MJ Paul submit to an Arm Bar (he pulled off a similar result with that move to Shuji Ishikawa/Koo many years ago). Brookes and Sasaki fought each other for the final fall until KANON interfered with a chair. Brookes tried to fight back but Sasaki caught him in the Crossface Lock and made him give up when he turned it into the Crossover Facelock.

Brookes grabbed the KO-D Openweight Title after the match and bragged about how much the belt wants to go back to him. He told Brookes not to give up in his British accent again. Backstage Sasaki said the punks in Britain taught him that they are not bound by law but that was all a lie. Those lies have ruined Sasaki’s life and it is time Brookes take responsibility for it! Brookes refused to give any comments backstage so Honda spoke for the team. He said that SCHADENFREUDE will be standing at the end of Ryogoku laughing in the middle of the ring.

It looks like To-y just has Yuya Koroku’s number by this point. They had a singles match today and To-y once again came out on top. Koroku’s gameplan was to target his opponent’s arm but that didn’t stop To-y from beating him with the Kojima Impact. To-y then said he will win the KO-D Tag Team Titles and make 2025 the year of himself and MAO! Koroku got scolded by Tetsuya Endo afterwards. Endo explained he keeps losing because he has changed nothing, which means he is not making any progress. He has no independence, shows no capacity to come up with crazy ideas and his heart is weak too. Koroku said he already knows that. No matter what idea he comes up with it doesn’t work. Endo told him to stop talking and try harder in the ring.

Even though Fuminori Abe twisted Keigo Nakamura into a pretzel until their match was stopped, he gives him his support for the Ryogoku tag match with Shinya Aoki against KENOH & Yu Owada. Nakamura promised to carry DDT on his back for the match so he can beat the NOAH team.

Jun Akiyama and Yukio Naya continued to fight each other after their match and it ended pretty badly for one of them. They fought up to the entrance way where Naya put Akiyama through a table with the Choke Slam! Naya later said he is at his peak and ready to surpass Akiyama at Sumo Hall.

Before the 3 Way Match began, Hisaya Imabayashi revealed to everyone he booked the match to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of his acting career. Kazuki Hirata ruined it by immediately losing the match to Danshoku Dieno. Imabayashi restarted the match and stopped Dieno from quickly winning the same way. He was so involved in the match it almost turned into a tag match with the way he was trying to help Hirata win. Imabayashi explained DDT will have no future unless Hirata becomes popular so he needed him to win. Sadly for him Dieno ended up beating Hirata again anyway.

Dieno also sent out a message to Great-O-Khan for the match on 28th December. He promised it will be the most hideous match of O-Khan’s career. O-Khan’s pride for New Japan will mean nothing when they fight in DDT!

KANON invited an unexpected guest to the ring after the opening match. It was Haruto Sakuraba, the muscle actor who recently chose to side with DAMNATION T.A for his upcoming debut! KANON introduced him to Yuki Iino and said he will crush Iino at Sumo Hall. Sakuraba said Iino is smaller than he though which caused a fight to break out between them. Sakuraba won out by knocking down Iino with a Lariat. He made fun of Iino and said he is so weak that it makes Sakuraba’s muscles cry! Sakuraba finished his introduction by calling himself “MONSTER”. Iino warned him he will be 1,000 times more powerful at Sumo Hall.

How is it that Kazuma Sumi is the only one who keeps losing to Demus’s La Valagueza finisher?

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 18: 2ND ANNIVERSARY SHOW” Results

December 10, 2024

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 18: 2ND ANNIVERSARY SHOW”, 10/12/2024
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special 3 Way Match: Munetatsu Nakamura defeated Takayuki Ueki and Chie Koishikawa when Nakamura pinned Ueki after a Chop from Koishikawa (7:55).
2. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Ram Kaichow when Kaichow gave up (8:50).
3. Special Tag Match: Mr. Bueno & Yuki Inoueno (MAO) defeated Mr. Malo & Masahiro Takanashi when Bueno pinned Malo with the Gorgeous Estrella Elbow (13:33).
4. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes defeated Antonio Honda with the Praying Mantis Bomb (22:03).

The last Baka Gaijin + Friends show of the year ended with a bang. Long time friends Chris Brookes and Antonio Honda fought each other in the main event. For Brookes it was the obvious placement with him as the reigning KO-D Openweight Champion while Honda got to cap off an eventful 12 months of dramatic and unusual fights inside ARENA Shimokitazawa. Honda summoned Gongitsune but Brookes deflected the attack into Daisuke Kiso. Brookes then tried to finish Honda off with the Praying Mantis Bomb while Masahiro Takanashi pleaded with him for taking the match too far. Honda attacked both with Gongitsune, hit a Bionic Elbow and almost pinned Brookes with a Leg Clutch Hold. Brookes then reversed the Tenzan Tombstone Driver and the two tried to put each other in the Octopus Hold. Honda couldn’t last though and Brookes was able to finish him off with the Praying Mantis Bomb.

After the match Brookes thanked Honda for the match because it was both the 2nd Anniversary main event for Baka Gaijin as well as the 17th Anniversary of Brookes’s debut. Honda always said 2024 was his year of revival but that makes it sound like he is near the end. Brookes told him everyone wants to see the revival go on for next year and beyond! Honda said this year was so amazing it was as if the gods of wrestling made it worthwhile. 2024 was not the year of his revival, it was his rebirth! Next year he will be coming after Brookes and aiming right for his neck! The show ended with a group get together along with unexpected party streamers popping off over everyone’s heads. That’s the bang I was talking about.

Mr. Bueno was supposed to team up with MAO but he got someone kind of familiar in his place. MAO walked out dressed in Yuki Ueno’s full outfit and was announced to everyone as Yuki Inoueno! That only served as a distraction for Bueno meeting Mr. Malo again for the first time since Malo smashed a bottle over his head at the last Baka Gaijin show. He wanted to get payback the right way though by fighting clean and fair. When he had a chance to break a bottle over Malo’s head, he refused to do it. Inoueno though had no such problem. He grabbed Bueno’s hand and physically made him hit Malo with the bottle. Bueno at least did the gentlemanly thing and helped carry Malo out of the room after the match.

There was a surprise in store for HARASHIMA in Match #2. Ram Kaichow told him she has been a big fan of HERO! ever since she was a child. So much so she pulled out a HERO! mask and asked HARASHIMA to wear it for the match. HARASHIMA agreed and immediately got into character while Kaichow marked out for him. She then slapped HARASHIMA and told him it was only a trap because she isn’t a kid anymore. She wore the mask herself for the rest of the match. HARASHIMA noticed her attacks were now becoming superpowered so he couldn’t hold back against her. After surviving an Ectoplasm attack he gave Kaichow a Buzzsaw Kick and stepped back some distance to set up the Somato. Kaichow knew it was coming and immediately gave up out of fear. She threw the mask at HARASHIMA, yelled at him and stormed out of the room. HARASHIMA was the winner but for once he didn’t feel good about it.

The show began with an unusual sight on a Baka Gaijin show. Takayuki Ueki used to appear at these events as a mad doctor until he wiped out his memory at the September show. Today he was in his regular wrestling gear and behaved like a fresh faced rookie. However when Munetatsu Nakamura and Chie Koishikawa started double teaming him, he pulled out his pistol at them. He held them at gunpoint and ordered Koishikawa to strike Nakamura so he would fall backwards and get pinned with a School Boy from Ueki. The plan backfired as Nakamura fell right on top of Ueki and Koishikawa pressed both of them down for the three count. However Kiso ruled that Nakamura was the winner because he was directly on top of Ueki during the pin.

DDT “ROAD TO ULTIMATE PARTY 2024 IN NAGOYA” Results

December 8, 2024

DDT “ROAD TO ULTIMATE PARTY 2024 IN NAGOYA”, 08/12/2024
Aichi Nagoya Imaike Gas Hall
324 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yukio Naya & Takumi Saito defeated Keigo Nakamura & Yuki Ishida when Naya pinned Ishida with the Choke Slam (10:11).
2. Tetsuya Endo & Toru Owashi defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Owashi pinned Hirata with a School Boy (11:23).
3. Special Tag Match: Jun Akiyama & MAO defeated HARASHIMA & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Akiyama pinned Matsunaga with the Exploder Suplex (9:44).
4. Special Single Match: Akito defeated Soma Takao with the Goliath Birdeater (8:36).
5. The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING!: Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku when To-y pinned Koroku with a Frankensteiner (13:50).
6. 10-Man Elimination Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON, MJ Paul, Demus and Ilusion defeated Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi, Antonio Honda, Takeshi Masada & Munetatsu Nakamura (28:05).
6a. Daisuke Sasaki eliminated Antonio Honda by Ring Out (11:44).
6b. Chris Brookes eliminated Demus by Ring Out (13:39).
6c. Munetatsu Nakamura eliminated Ilusion by Ring Out (16:23).
6d. MJ Paul eliminated Munetatsu Nakamura by Ring Out (19:21).
6e. Daisuke Sasaki eliminated Takeshi Masada by Ring Out (19:21).
6f. Chris Brookes eliminated MJ Paul by Ring Out (23:19).
6g. Chris Brookes and Daisuke Sasaki eliminated each other by Double Ring Out (26:42).
6h. KANON eliminated Masahiro Takanashi with the Vietnam Driver II (28:05).

DAMNATION T.A scored one back against SCHADENFREUDE International in the latest match of their feud. It was an Elimination Tag Match and most of the eliminations were from the wrestlers being thrown over the top rope out of the ring. Daisuke Sasaki sacrificed himself to eliminate Chris Brookes by doing a Suplex from the corner to the floor below, knocking both of them out of the match. That left Masahiro Takanashi and KANON as the final two with KANON ending up winning by using the Vietnam Driver II for the only pinfall elimination.

KANON made fun of SCHADENFREUDE for losing their momentum and told Brookes he got what he deserve for having such worthless teammates. Sasaki pointed out he was willing to sacrifice himself for his team even though he doesn’t love wrestling. He wants Brookes to think about the day he goes home to England because Sasaki will never let him come back to Nagoya! Sasaki later said when he wins the KO-D Openweight Title he will spend New Year’s celebrating in Hawaii.

To-y continues to get the better of Yuya Koroku in their matches against each other. He pinned him today with a Hurricanrana just when Koroku thought he had the upper hand. To-y admits he is excited and nervous about the KO-D Tag Team Titles match at Sumo Hall. Just hearing the name Ryogoku makes his heart pound. He told Yuki Ueno it might be love. Has he fallen in love with the Tag Titles? Ueno told him he is showing his full power in every warm up match so far. The more momentum they make, the more intense their excitement will get. Tetsuya Endo told Yuki Iino & Koroku that when they lose twice, they need to win three matches to make up for it. He thinks The 37KAMIINA did not show as much spirit as BURNING did today so the result did not prove who is superior.

There are many wrestlers in DDT who made Akito what he is today. Soma Takao in particular means a lot to him because he is from the same generation. Neither of them currently have a championship but their generation can still fight whether it’s together as a team or as opponents. He then told Takao he can go home. Takao left the ring telling everyone “I hate that guy.”

At the start of the show Danshoku Dieno and Kazuki Hirata played a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors to decide whose entrance music they would use. Dieno won by using Paper against Rock.

There is some fallout from Pom Harajuku winning the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title in Thailand last week. The previous champion Matcha is coming to Japan at the end of the month to get her rematch! Matcha will be wrestling for Tokyo Joshi Pro on the 21st and 29th December shows as well as the 4th January show. On the 29th she faces Harajuku in a rematch for the title.

TJPW Rush! Princess Vs Monster But Which Is Which? Arai Commits To Pro Wrestling

December 3, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WINTER STORY”, 14/12/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Ivy Steele Vs X

The British exchange student Ivy Steele makes her Tokyo Joshi Pro debut later this month. She is studying in Japan and training in the TJPW dojo while she is over there. She’s been wrestling in the UK since 2018 and it’s always been her dream to wrestle in Japan. So much so that she took part in TJPW’s trainee audition during the Autumn which is how she got to be part of the company now.

Yeah so Pom Harajuku has a championship now and I still don’t know what to make of it. She won the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title in Thailand a few days ago. I think she is going to be on this show so that means it will be her first TJPW appearance since winning the title.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW YEAR-END PARTY 2024”, 29/12/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. TJPW RUSH! Year End Special Red And White Team 5 Vs 5 Knockout Match: Shoko Nakajima, X, X, X & X Vs Mizuki, X, X, X & X
Other Participants: Suzume, Arisu Endo, Moka Miyamoto, Yoshiko Hasegawa, Haru Kazashiro, Toga, Shino Suzuki and Uta Takami
2. Queen Of Asia Title & VPW Women’s Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c/c) Vs Lei Ying Lee
3. I Hope There Will Be Lots Of Fun And Exciting Things Next Year! New Year’s Japanese Pro Wrestling! 20 Wrestler PRINCESS RUMBLE 2024: X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X

The Princess Rumble is the main event and will be the final TJPW match of 2024. Surely there is going to be a lot of double booking on this show because I cannot see Tetsuya Koda wanting to book over 30 people for this event for only a few minutes of work in the ring, even at this time of year.

A familiar TJPW match stipulation is getting a makeover for the holidays. A 5 Vs 5 Gauntlet Match will be held with Shoko Nakajima captaining the Red Team and Mizuki in charge of the White Team. Every match in the Gauntlet has a 5 minute time limit and can be won with a 2 Count Pinfall. If a match ends in a time limit draw then it will restart with 1 Count Sudden Death Rules with no time limit. The two captains will choose their teams through a lottery soon.

Yuki Arai will be on the show. Speaking of which…

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’25”, 04/01/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
2. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Suzume
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Mizuki

Actually first let’s talk about the 4th January main event. Miu Watanabe’s first run as the Princess Of Princess Champion has gone great. The best way to book a champion’s first reign is to feed them a bunch of previous champions to further establish them as a main eventer and that’s what was done here. There were also a few international challengers on the side which is a good way to build up a champion domestically as well. Watanabe has the second most title defences in a single reign and Mizuki is the only former champion still with the company who now stands in her way. Mizuki says by beating so many monsters, Watanabe has now become the monster everyone else needs to be. Watanabe doesn’t accept that logic. She is still the princess who defeats the monster, not the other way around.

Okay let’s get to the Yuki Arai news. Last week she announced her decision to graduate from SKE48. She will be leaving the idol group on 31st March next year. Today she put out another announcement, this time about her pro wrestling career. She ain’t leaving! While her SKE48 days are coming to an end, she has decided to fully commit as a pro wrestler and continue working with TJPW! She will continue to be managed by Zest, which just so happens to be SKE48’s talent agency. By the sounds of it, pro wrestling is going to be Arai’s full time career going forward next year.

It’s the sixth annual Ittenyon match between Kyoraku Kyomei! Ever since 2020 Shoko Nakajima and Hyper Misao have had a singles match against each other at Korakuen Hall on 4th January. Usually there is a wacky match stipulation involved and in the early years the loser would change their name and gimmick for a month. However ever since the Max Heart Tournament was created, Kyoraku Kyomei instead use the match to prepare themselves for the tournament. They have yet to win the tournament but everybody likes the tradition. Nakajima currently has a 4-2 record against Misao in the series. If you noticed the numbers don’t add up properly that’s because one year the both of them were declared winners instead of their match being called a draw.

This month there are a couple of big multi-man matches between SCHADENFREUDE International and DAMNATION T.A each with a different stipulation involved. Today’s match was a Best Of 5 series of singles bouts between the two units. Chris Brookes and Daisuke Sasaki privately decided on the order of their teams and handed them over to Yukinori Matsui so the matchups were all a mystery until they took place. In a surprise, Brookes and Sasaki both decided to put themselves in the opening match so they fought each other in a preview for “ULTIMATE PARTY 2024”! However each match only had a 10 minute time limit and they easily fought to a draw.

The second match had MJ Paul walk down to the ring only to be attacked from behind by a member of the audience. The person turned out to be Masahiro Takanashi is disguise! He tried to pin Paul in the ring with several cradles but was quickly pinned himself when Paul gave him a Lou Thesz Press.

The third match was the DDT debut of Mr. Bueno as he took on Demus. Bueno used the Moonsault a couple of times as well as a 619 and a top rope Frankensteiner. Demus tried to counter him but was pinned down with the Bueno Clutch (Delphin Clutch) to tie the score 1-1.

The fourth match was considered a battle between the two vice captains. Antonio Honda immediately tripped over the ropes when he entered the ring and KANON attacked him before he could tell a Gongitsune joke. When Honda fought back and had a chance to speak, he made a dirty joke about Full Metal Alchemist instead. KANON avoided the Diving Fist Drop though and made Honda submit to the Cobra Twist 2.0.

The fifth and final match of the series had the “captains” Takeshi Masada and Ilusion continuing their feud against each other. Ilusion distracted the ref so the rest of DAMNATION T.A could interfere. Ilusion then attacked Masada with a chair but the ref saw him and called for a DQ. Masada demanded a rematch and Ilusion agreed to it, even claiming he will fight fair and square this time. A ref bump caused DAMNATION T.A to interfere again but this time SCHADENFREUDE ran in to fight them off. Ilusion grabbed the chair again but Masada kicked it into his face and pinned him with his finisher to end the series with SCHADENFREUDE as the winners. Masada called Ilusion a loser who cannot win without his stupid teammates. He also thinks SCHADENFREUDE will win the Elimination Tag Match in a landslide on 8th December. Sasaki told Brookes that 10 minutes is not enough for them. Brookes better prepare for 100 minutes next time! Ilusion also criticised Masada for needing to use a chair to beat him.

To-y got the better of Yuya Koroku again, this time pinning him with the Avalanche Kojima Wonderland in the opening match. To-y told Koroku he needs to get crazier otherwise he won’t be able to beat him & MAO at Sumo Hall. To-y is in such high spirits he thinks he can now beat Tetsuya Endo too! MAO approves of To-y’s spirit and promised to use all of his tag team experience to back him up. Endo said the hottest thing in DDT is not the sauna. It is BURNING!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW 11TH BIRTHDAY” Results

December 1, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW 11TH BIRTHDAY”, 01/12/2024
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX
333 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

2. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Kaya Toribami and Chika Nanase when Tatsumi pinned Nanase with the Twist Of Fate (7:31).
3. Hyper Misao & Haruna Neko defeated Mahiro Kiryu & HIMAWARI when Misao pinned HIMAWARI with the Hypami Returns (9:55).

6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) defeated Haru Kazashiro & Toga when Itoh submitted Kazashiro with the Itoh Deluxe (19:35).
*V2 for 121000000.

The Next Generation team of Haru Kazashiro & Toga faced up to the seniors they idolize the most for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s 11th Anniversary. They launched an attack where Toga hit Miyu Yamashita with the Elbow Butt while Kazashiro knocked down Maki Itoh with the Low Cross Body. Kazashira then gave Itoh the Fisherman Suplex but Yamashita made it over to break the pin in time. Toga took care of Yamashita with the Rock Bottom but Kazashiro couldn’t pull off a second Fisherman Suplex. Instead Itoh blocked her offence, knocked her down with the Stunner and made her submit to the Itoh Deluxe.

Itoh reminded Kazashiro about her making the title challenge last week. She said she knew back then than Kazashiro would show her something interesting in today’s match. But this can’t be the end, right? Kazashiro can still do more. She and Toga are welcome to challenge 121000000 again. This time Itoh dares them to try and break her middle finger! Yamashita also told Toga not to be satisfied until she can beat her. Everyone in the ring should all get stronger so they can have better matches against each other. 121000000 are now looking forward to the 4th January Korakuen Hall show. They are ready to defend the Princess Tag Team Titles against any team from around the world.

When Match #5 was over Mizuki called Miu Watanabe to get back into the ring. Mizuki talked to her about how much everyone in TJPW has grown since she last held the Princess Of Princess Title. She couldn’t help but feel disappointed seeing Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima and Rika Tatsumi all lose to Watanabe in title matches this year but it is also cool to see how bright Watanabe is shining as the champion. Watanabe is now the unbeatable monster and Mizuki thinks she is the only one left who can challenge her. Watanabe corrected Mizuki and said she is a princess, not a monster. They will fight for the title on 4th January to see who the true princess is!

Mizuki also threw in her support for Suzume as she gets ready for her International Princess Title match on 4th Janaury. She told her they will do their best to win the two championships together. Meanwhile Watanabe still took exception to being called a monster. She told reporters backstage that a princess is someone who beats monsters just like in a certain anime. Do no call her a monster under any circumstances! Watanabe beats monsters so that means she is a princess!

Rika Tatsumi told her opponents she is the God of 3 Way Matches. She ordered Kaya Toribami and Chika Nanase to fight each other and she would take on the winner. She then sat on the corner turnbuckle and yelled instructions at them until they caught her trying to pin one behind the other’s back. The 3 Way went on as normal and she ended up winning anyway.

At the start of the show TJPW introduced British wrestler Ivy Steele to the audience. Steele is a university student from Manchester, England who is currently studying in Japan as part of a foreign exchange. She already has experience wrestling in Britain under the name Fifi and it’s been her dream to wrestle in Japan. She is currently training in the TJPW dojo and will have her first match with the promotion on 14th December in Yokohama.

The sixth annual Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao Ittenyon match was announced for 4th January.
