Whose Idea Was It To Do A No Spoiler Show On April Fool’s Day?

March 31, 2025

DDT “NO SPOILERS EVENT VOL. 3 IN UENO”, 01/04/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Dancing Spirit Tradition Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuya Koroku
2. Yakyuken Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs To-y
3. NωA Vs NωA Jr.!: Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Makoto Oishi Vs Shunma Katsumata, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi

5. Partner Match ~ BOYZ Vs YaroZ All-Out Battle: X Vs X

So tomorrow’s No Spoilers show is happening on April Fool’s Day but by the time the spoilers do come out it should be the day after, so I shouldn’t be falling foul over any fake results. Fingers crossed. The match order will be decided on the day of the show.

Yuya Koroku wants to prove he has fan support going into next weekend’s KO-D Openweight Title match. He is setting up a special booth at the venue where at the end of the show he will be personally selling tickets for his match and signing them with his autographs too.

1. Falls Count Anywhere Tag Team Match: HARASHIMA & Akito defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when HARASHIMA pinned Hirata with the Somato (13:50).

The wedding vibes continued indoors for DDT’s second event of the day at Sentir la Saison. This time it was only one Falls Count Anywhere match but it was specially held for a bride and groom celebrating their own wedding today. HARASHIMA, Akito, Danshoku Dieno and Kazuki Hirata wrestled their match around the congregation while Kazuma Sumi took on a bonus pastor gig by becoming an extra witness for the ceremony. The happy couple even got a wrestling inspired entrance chant for their walk down the aisle.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SKE48 YUKI ARAI GRADUATION LIVE ~GO FOR THE DREAM!!~” Results

March 30, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SKE48 YUKI ARAI GRADUATION LIVE ~GO FOR THE DREAM!!~”, 30/03/2025
Aichi Chunichi Hall (Nagoya City)
490 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. It’s the 1998 Class All Gathered Together!: Yuki Arai, Moka Miyamoto & Haruna Neko defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & Shino Suzuki when Arai pinned Suzuki with the Finally (8:30).
2. Graduation Memorial Battle Royal Full Of Yuki Arai: Raku defeated Pom Harajuku with a Backslide Pin (9:10).
Order Of Elimination: Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu, Hyper Misao, Miyu Yamashita, Raku.
*Special Referee: Shiori Aoki
3. This Is TJPW Special 6-Woman Tag Match: Mizuki, Rika Tatsumi & Shoko Nakajima Vs Maki Itoh, Miu Watanabe & Yuki Aino ended in a Time Limit Draw (15:00).

Yuki Arai’s singing career with SKE48 has now come to an end after she graduated from the idol unit today. She wrestled on the first match of the show with the rest of the 1998 Class so she could get ready to perform her final concert at the second half of the event. It was a full blown SKE48 concert with members past and present all showing up to sing with Arai. For the finale Arai dedicated her last song to SKE48, Tokyo Joshi Pro and her fans. After the show she thanked TJPW for putting together such a wonderful venue and event. She is also gracious to the other members of her unit which she will keep in mind as she now focuses on her pro wrestling careers. She thinks her dual career went by in a flash yet she now can’t remember what her life was like before she started wrestling. If it wasn’t for wrestling she thinks she would still be in the entertainment industry after graduation but she is grateful to have found something that excites her just as much as SKE48.

There was a Battle Royal full of Yuki Arai’s on the undercard. It was done Rumble style with every entrant walking out wearing one of Arai’s previous costumes. Former SKE48 idol Shiori Aoki also appeared as the special guest referee. Everyone tried to imitate Arai in one way or another. Raku used one of her catchphrases, Yuki Kamifuku introduced herself as “Big Yuki”, Hyper Misao wanted to be called Shin Yuki Arai, Mahiro Kiryu tried her best to do the Finally kick, Pom Harajuku called herself the best Arai and Miyu Yamashita made the others laugh with her attempted impersonation. Yamashita took her anger out on everyone but in the end Raku was the last Yuki Arai left standing.

DDT “WEDDING HALL PRO WRESTLING SPRING FESTIVAL IN SENTIR LA SAISON GIFU” Results

March 30, 2025

DDT “WEDDING HALL PRO WRESTLING SPRING FESTIVAL IN SENTIR LA SAISON GIFU”, 30/03/2025
Gifu Sentir la Saison
??? Fans

1. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated JJ Furno, Yuni & Keigo Nakamura when Sasaki pinned Yuni with the Vietnam Driver II (11:02).
2. Yuya Koroku defeated Yuki Ishida with the Modified Triangle Lancer (9:05).
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, Jun Akiyama & Yukio Naya defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Toru Owashi & Kazuma Sumi when MAO pinned Sumi with the Iai Kick (12:28).
4. SCHADENFREUDE International Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada Vs Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y ended in a Double Countout (10:50).
4a. Rematch – Falls Count Anywhere: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada when Ueno pinned Honda with the Sentir la Saison Gifu-Style Diving Body Press Through The Table (17:08).

Sunny weather welcomed DDT for their long delayed visit to Sentir la Saison. They were originally meant to hold an outdoor wrestling show at this wedding venue’s car park last August but it was called off due to a typhoon at the time. The enviornment inspired everyone in the main event to take the match away from the ring and all over the parking lot. That caused both teams to get counted out. Antonio Honda briefly disappeared during this and returned wearing a chef outfit. He told everyone today is a happy day where they should forget about the rules so everyone agreed to an immediate rematch where falls counted anywhere!

Things got crazier after the restart. Chris Brookes gave Shunma Katsumata a Piledriver on top of a parked van, To-y cycled around on a bike hitting opponents with a plate and Yuki Ueno drove the ring truck into everybody. SCHADENFREUDE International tried to do the rubber band spot but it backfired when The 37KAMIINA all dodged it and Takeshi Masada took the hit instead, sending his crashing back into a fortress of chairs. Ueno won the match when he climbed on top of a shed and did a Diving Body Press on Honda through a table. The 37KAMIINA all climbed back up to the top of the shed to celebrate and tell everyone how beautiful the view looks. Ueno then declared that all three of them will soon win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles!

DDT “OWARI WARS 2025” Results

March 29, 2025

DDT “OWARI WARS 2025”, 29/03/2025
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. 3 Way Match: Yukio Naya defeated JJ Furno and Yuki Ishida when Naya pinned Ishida with The World’s Best Back Drop (8:48).
2. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated Toru Owashi, Yasu Urano & Yuni when Ilusion pinned Yuni with the Swanton Bomb (12:07).
3. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama defeated Antonio Honda with the Exploder Suplex (10:22).
4. Special Tag Match: Yuya Koroku & Kazusada Higuchi defeated Chris Brookes & Kazuma Sumi when Koroku pinned Sumi with the Modified Sky Twister Press (11:50).
5. Special Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura defeated Minoru Suzuki & Akito when Nakamura pinned Akito with the Modified Crucifix Pin (15:18).
6. MAO’s Last The 37KAMIINA Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Takeshi Masada when MAO pinned Hirata after the Oretachi no Mad Max (16:13).

The sauna is going to feel a little bit emptier after today because MAO has now left The 37KAMIINA. He teamed with the other three members for the last time and used his tag team finisher with Shunma Katsumata to win in the main event. He said he is certain there will be times he misses the unit but there is something new that he wants to do and he’ll do his best to pursue it. That may mean he will have to fight against The 37KAMIINA from now on but he wants the fans to look forward to those matches when they happen. Yuki Ueno has mixed emotions over the decision but as long as MAO will put fort 100% effort he will support him. To-y made MAO promise he will always be the same person that To-y loves and looks up to. Katsumata wants to reunite the ShunMao tag team in the future but he cannot leave the sauna with him no matter how hard he tries.

I’d say Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura are now ready to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles after how they fared against Minoru Suzuki & Akito. Suzuki bullied Nakamura around but found himself in a stalemate against Aoki’s submission work. While the two of them grappled their way into a deadlock, Nakamura used a Full Nelson to slip Akito into the Modified Crucifix Pin to get the three count out of nowhere. Backstage Suzuki was asked by reporters about his upcoming DDT Universal Title defence against Yoshihiko. Suzuki rubbished the idea because it’s just a doll and everyone in DDT is stupid for treating it like an actual wrestler. When he was done talking, Yoshihiko was actually laying on the floor behind him and tried to grab Suzuki’s leg. Suzuki ignored it and walked away.

Yuya Koroku has added a new move to his arsenal in his bid to become the KO-D Openweight Champion. He used a Sky Twister Press to win his match today, believing a big aerial attack like that is what he needs to beat Chris Brookes. He understands if the fans thinks Brookes will win but as long as Koroku has even a small chance he will throw everything he has to win the title on 6th April. Brookes finds the move familiar, like it is a Spiral or a Stardust looking thing. It looks strong but it also reminds Brookes of Tetsuya Endo which continues his criticisms of Koroku being Endo-like.

It seems Ilusion has no memory of wrestling Yasu Urano one year ago. When they faced off today Ilusion asked who the old man was? When Urano told him he’s 49 years old Ilusion encouraged the audience to chant “old man” at him. After DAMNATION T.A won their match, KANON unexpectedly ran into the ring armed with a chair. He attacked them like a house on fire until Daisuke Sasaki stopped him with a Low Blow. MJ Paul gave him a Death Valley Bomb and Sasaki then knocked him out with a chairshot. As they were leaving, KANON got back up and chased after them, resulting in a brawl to the back. When Sasaki had the chance to make a comment backstage he encouraged KANON to come attack him anywhere if he has the motivation to do it. But he should do it now because tomorrow Sasaki will have 20 security guards protecting him! He then told Ilusion to go hire 20 security guards for tomorrow. KANON said he came all the way to Nagoya todayso he could wear down Sasaki even just a little bit. He’s ready to send him to hell on 6th April!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YUKI ARAI’S LAST TWO-SWORD STYLE ~ GO FOR THE VICTORY!!” Results

March 29, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YUKI ARAI’S LAST TWO-SWORD STYLE ~ GO FOR THE VICTORY!!”, 29/03/2025
Aichi Chunichi Hall (Nagoya City)
536 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Suzume, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko defeated Yuki Aino, Kaya Toribami & Ivy Steele when Suzume pinned Steele with the Ring A Bell (9:44).
2. 3 Way Match: Pom Harajuku defeated Arisu Endo and Chika Nanase when Harajuku pinned Nanase with a Backward Rolling Cradle (8:34).
3. Maki Itoh defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Itoh Deluxe (6:33).
4. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer when Misao pinned Summer with the Hypami Returns (8:48).
5. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Raku, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami defeated Wakana Uehara, HIMAWARI, Haru Kazashiro, Toha & Mifu Ashida when Watanabe submitted Ashida with the Reverse Paradox (13:07).
6. Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto defeated Mizuki & Rika Tatsumi when Yamashita pinned Mizuki by Referee Stoppage with the Modified Cobra Clutch (13:37).

A big preview tag match for “TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS” headlined today’s show in Aichi. It might be the last chance for Mizuki and Miyu Yamashita to test each other out before their Princess Of Princess Title match in America next month. Meanwhile Rika Tatsumi got her wish to team up with Mizuki and she tried to carry her like a princess only for Moka Miyamoto to push them over. Mizuki & Tatsumi had better luck working together later when they gave Yamashita a Diving Double Stomp/Twist Of Fate combo. Tatsumi also sacrificed herself by pushing Mizuki out of the way from the Crash Rabbit Heat and taking the impact of Yamashita’s finisher instead. But when Mizuki tried to capitalise, Yamashita stunned her with a High Kick and used a Modified Cobra Clutch to drag her down to the mat. Mizuki wouldn’t give up so Yamashita kept applying more preasure with the move until the match had to be stopped.

After the match Yamashita said she’s never been merciless up until now and she will be even more merciless in Vegas so she can win the Princess Title. Miyamoto then got to speak about how enthusiastic she is to team with Yuki Arai on tomorrow’s show. She wants their team to win to make it the best graduation ever for Arai. Miyamoto got praised from Yamashita in the backstage comments. Yamashita said it’s really reassuring to team with her and they know how to work together quickly. Tatsumi was upset at Yamashita & Miyamoto for ruining her dream team with Mizuki. She couldn’t save the princess today so she is not qualified to become her knight.

This whole weekend belongs to Arai because she will be graduating from SKE48 tomorrow in order to dedicate the rest of her career to wrestling with Tokyo Joshi Pro. Today she formed an alliance with The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) first to sing together at the start of the show and then to team up for a 10-Woman Tag Match against the 2023 Class in the semi-main event. They all put the other team in their respective submission holds and Miu Watanabe scored the win when Mifu Ashida submitted to the Reverse Paradox. Watanabe in particular was pretty happy to sing an SKE48 song with Arai. The 2023 Class were happy to all be together in one match for the same time although Shino Suzuki had to be on the other team because she’s in The Up Up Girls. Wakana Uehara said she can feel a new wind blowing for them all.

With the trip to Vegas on the horizon, Kyoraku Kyomei wanted to test out their English. Since their opponents today both speak the language, Hyper Misao tried to do her introduction in English and asked them how it went. Kira Summer said that her pronunciation was good but she needs more practice. She said that in English so Yuki Kamifuku had to translate it back to Japanese. Kamifuku’s interpretation wasn’t accurate though. She told the others that Summer said she couldn’t understand why a highly educated graduate from Aoyama Gakuin University is so bad at English? Also Aoyama Gakuin has a lot of cute looking girls but Misao is so plain so what is it like for her to graduate from there? Misao was so hurt by the comments that it gave Kamifuku & Summer and opening to jump them and start the match. Kyoraku Kyomei were able to win and are now ready for Vegas. Shoko Nakajima wants to win big money at the casinos.

There are so many shows happening this weekend it would take up too much space to include the ones that haven’t been changed going into it. One of the wedding shows on Sunday now has its match order confirmed. This will also be the first match The 37KAMIINA having after MAO leaves the unit tomorrow.

5. Hyper Misao & Haruna Neko Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
6. Miyu Yamashita Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa
7. Mizuki & Wakana Uehara Vs Maki Itoh & Shino Suzuki

The cards for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s first weekend of shows in April were announced before Yoshiko Hasegawa’s announcement but they seem to be more fitting now in hindsight. Hasegawa wants to wrestle everybody on the TJPW roster before she retires and this match here with Miyu Yamashita will be a first time singles match between the two.

Both Shoko Nakajima and HIMAWARI will be missing the two shows because they will be wrestling in America for MLW that weekend.

The homecoming show for Yamashita and Maki Itoh has turned slightly bitter now that 121000000 have disbanded. The two of them will be on opposite sides of a 6-Woman Tag Match in the main event.

Aja Kong comes along to team up with Mizuki. Eh, I think Hyper Misao & Pom Harajuku can handle them.

DDT “MENTAI WARS”, 12/04/2025
Fukuoka Nishitetsu Hall

1. Kazuma Sumi Vs Ilusion
2. HARASHIMA, Azul Dragon & Kazuki Hirata Vs MAO, Toru Owashi & Akito

6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, Danshoku Dieno & Takeshi Masada Vs Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y

Does Hideki Okatani have any grief with the other wrestlers from his generation? He’s only been dealing with KANON so far although he hasn’t properly come back to action yet.

6. Yamada Suisan Fish Army Vs Meat Alliance Army, The Final Showdown! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shishamo Power, Unagi Mask & Super Unagi Mask Vs Aja Kong, Shunma “EL TURKEY” Katsumata & Yuya “GIBIE” Koroku

New enemies are emerging to the surface in the seafood versus meat feud that DDT and Yamada Suisan dive into on an annual basis. Shunma “EL TURKEY” Katsumata wants revenge for the meat eating side losing last year’s battle so he went and recruited new teammates. One of them is Yuya “GIBIE” Koroku but the big weapon he’s bringing along is pro wrestling’s most dangerous carnivore Aja Kong! The trio of Shishamo Power, Unagi Mask & Super Unagi Mask are a well armed team at this point but this could be their biggest threat yet!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “QUERI PRESENTS TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS”, 18/04/2025

2. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Timothy Thatcher
3. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs MAO
4. DDT Universal Title: Minoru Suzuki (c) Vs Yoshihiko

The match made in hell! Minoru Suzuki said he will defend the DDT Universal Title against any challenger when he travels over to Las Vegas. Be careful what you wish for because Yoshihiko answered the challenge! The doll was already Vegas bound because of a Banger Zone Wrestling booking now it’s taking the gamble to leave with two championships (it still has the BZW Tag Team Titles with MAO).

DDT/TOKYO JOSHI PRO/GCW “DDT VS TJPW VS GCW”, 19/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Special Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Masha Slamovich Vs Shinya Aoki & Miyu Yamashita

Same goes for Yamashita and Masha Slamovich. So let’s mix them all up together for a unreal tag team battle!

DDT “O-HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2025 – DAY 2” Results

March 27, 2025

DDT “O-HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2025 – DAY 2”, 27/03/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Kazuma Sumi’s 22nd Birthday Match – Street Fight Scramble Pie Bunkhouse Match: MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated Makoto Oishi & Akito and Kazuma Sumi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Ilusion threw a pie at Sumi (5:16).
2. Hanami KING OF DRUNK Hangover 6-Man Tag Match For Losers Of The Preliminary Rumble: Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata defeated Soma Takao, Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida when Katsumata pinned Ishida with the Guruguru VHS (9:35).
3. Maximum Allowance Of 5,000 Yen For Bringing The Weapons Death Match: Takeshi Masada & Keigo Nakamura defeated Yuni & Munetatsu Nakamura when Nakamura pinned Yuni with the Ueno-Style Diving Headbutt onto the Red Book (12:04).
4. Special Single Match: Yuya Koroku defeated JJ Furno with the Modified Triangle Lancer (7:45).
5. Hanami KING OF DRUNK Final: MAO defeated Daisuke Sasaki with the Sasaki Daddy Daddy (16:31).
6. Special Tag Match: Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda defeated Chris Brookes & Danshoku Dieno when Honda pinned Dieno with the Diving Fist Drop (20:09).

The main event became quite the free for all given the wrestlers involved. There was brawling throughout the venue with cans of beer being knocked around everywhere. Everyone wore Hirata GO! glasses so the match switched back and forth between fighting and dancing. Danshoku Dieno missed a Moonsault so Antonio Honda took advantage by climbing the top rope. Chris Brookes tried stopping him but Honda put him in a Lip Lock to make him drop off so he can go do the Diving Fist Drop on Dieno for the victory. He joked after the match that he never thought so many thoughts, feelings and ideas could be expressed with just one kiss! He told Kazuki Hirata the next time they’re opponents he’ll tell him how he feels with his lips.

In the final of the Hanami KING OF DRUNK competition Daisuke Sasaki and MAO were both dressed in casual clothing rather than their wrestling costumes. They had to drink tequila at regular intervals during the match. They quickly got drunk and started messing around, like handing drinks to the other wrestlers and slapping each other with flip flops. All of the other wrestlers got drunk and huddled around Sasaki to chant “Sasaki Daddy Daddy” at him. It kept going and going until Sasaki got scared and gave up. The wrestlers all carried him away from the ring while MAO celebrated becoming the KING Of Drunk for the Spring. He asked the fans what is wrong with fighting the past? He will create the future!

The wrestlers in Match #3 were each given a budget of 5,000 yen to go buy items with so they could be used as weapons. Some of the items used include balloons, kaiju figures, stuffed toys, leg stockings, piles of books and a Panda costume head. Munetatsu Nakamura also drived around the venue on a moped and crashed it into Yuni after Takeshi Masada & Keigo Nakamura both got out of the way.

Kazuma Sumi was feeling much better and was allowed to wrestle today, which is good because today is also his birthday! To celebrate turning 22 years old the goal of the match was to make a “birthday cake” out of foam and throw it at an opponent’s face. Everyone tried to do it while carefully not dropping the plate but with other wrestlers interfering it was a very difficult task. Ilusion had the bright idea of using the folder he keeps his college diploma in as a plate to pour the foam on and he successfully pie-faced Sumi with it to win.

The contract signing for the KO-D Openweight Title match on 6th April was held at the beginning of today’s show. Yuya Koroku praised Brookes for leading DDT along with the DNA generation but he believes it is time for D GENERATIONS to step into the company’s main story. Brookes didn’t mince his words. He told Koroku that nobody believes he will win the KO-D Title. Their levels are completely different from each other. Then when it was time for the photo session Brookes told Koroku to put down the D GENERATIONS CUP trophy because it doesn’t matter now. All that is at stake is the KO-D Title.

Yoshiko Hasegawa To Retire In July

March 27, 2025

There was a press conference held in Shinjuku today where Yoshiko Hasegawa announced she will be graduating from Tokyo Joshi Pro and retiring from pro wrestling on 8th July. Hasegawa said she had originally considered retirement one year ago after she left Ganbare☆Pro and struggled with working on her own as a freelancer. But she met with Sanshiro Takagi who told her she should do whatever she wants to do. She wanted to be in TJPW so a deal was made between her and Tetsuya Koda to become a regular part of the roster. Yoppy’s time in TJPW motivated her to continue wrestling for a while until when women from her age group started retiring. Seeing people like Saki Akai and Nao Kakuta retire from wrestling and become active with other careers elsewhere made convinced her to change her mind. She is at her peak of abilities right now and wants to retire in this healthy state.

Hasegawa is grateful towards Actwres girl’Z for training her when she knew nothing about pro wrestling and did not have an athletic background. She is also grateful to GanPro for taking her in when she was injured and had no wrestling home to go to. Finaly, she thanks TJPW for letting her continue to enjoy pro wrestling. She still has some goals to reach before her final match. When she joined TJPW she said she wanted to have matches with every single wrestler on the roster and that has not happened yet. She would also like to challenge Suzume for the International Princess Title because they have wrestled each other several times before and Hasegawa looks up to Suzume.

Nothing has been decided yet on what Hasegawa’s final match is going to be. There are many wrestlers she would like to face but she wants to fight and beat strong opponents too. Whether she wins or loses it will be done with respect because TJPW is filled with wrestlers who really respect each other. She hopes fans will come to see all of her remaining matches and not just her retirement match.

6. Special Single Match: Fuminori Abe defeated Keigo Nakamura with a School Boy (12:32).

There were a lot of kicks in the main event as Fuminori Abe and Keigo Nakamura tried to out-do each other. This included Abe doing Soccer Ball Kicks to Nakamura inside the ring. When he tried to do it outside Nakamura cut him off and he got to do the move instead. Nakamura used a Frankensteiner to try and get the flash pin but Abe kicked out. Abe then successfully pulled off a similar plan when Nakamura went for the Somato and Abe countered it into a School Boy for the three count. Nakamura wasn’t phased by the loss and told Abe to polish up his KO-D Tag Team Title belt. Abe responded that he will beat up Nakamura 126 times harder at the title match than he did today! He then tried to let Nakamura close out the show but Nakamura refused to speak and left the ring.

Everyone involved in the Hanami KING OF DRUNK competition had started drinking before the show began were already completely drunk by the time the Battle Royal began. Alongside the usual Battle Royal rules, drinks were served at regular intervals and if a wrestler could not drink their cup they were eliminated. Daisuke Sasaki and MAO ended up being the last two standing so they will face each other in the final tomorrow.

I should have seen this coming when Shishamo Power showed up again. The dreaded Seafood Vs Meat feud is back on the menu! When Shishamo won his match he was joined in the ring by the Yamada Suisan president as well as Unagi Mask and Super Unagi Mask to promote the company’s sponsored DDT show on 13th April. They were interrupted by Shunma “EL TURKEY” Katsumata who made a promise to get revenge when his team lost to the seafood side at last year’s show. He has new allies to team with him. One of them is Yuya “GIBIE” Koroku but more importantly the other is the pro wrestling world’s most amazing carnivore Aja Kong!

Kazuma Sumi was pulled from the show because he was feeling unwell. He is currently questionable if he can wrestle on tomorrow’s show. Some of the matches may get changed if he won’t be appearing.
