The annual Osaka show put together by referee Yukinori Matsui took place today with Konosuke Takeshita’s return to DDT as the headline match. He teamed up with his friend and rival Yuki Ueno to fight the master and student pairing of Dick Togo & Daisuke Sasaki. Togo acted like his normal self for the match rather than his House Of Torture persona and while Sasaki did fight a little dirty at points it was mostly a clean and competitive match between the two sides. An exposed turnbuckle made the most impact by coming into play late in the match. Togo & Sasaki both put their opponents in the Crossface Lock only for Takeshita & Ueno to grab each other by the hands and power out of the holds. Takeshita blocked Togo from doing the Diving Senton onto Ueno and when Togo gave him a Dropkick, Takeshita hit back with a Knee Strike that led to both of them going out of the ring. Sasaki tried to finish off Ueno himself but got a Dropkick to the face and was then pinned with the WR.

Ueno welcomed Takeshita back after the match, reminding him it’s been three years since they last teamed together. Takeshita thinks a lot of people who came to the show today know him more for his New Japan matches than his DDT career so he explained his backstory with Ueno to the fans. He doesn’t know if or when there will be a next time they are in the ring together so he told Ueno they will always be each other’s classmates. Matsui said the match was so amazing that it made him laugh. Togo wanted to shake Matsui’s hand but it was just a trap and he gave him the Pedigree before leaving. Ueno then thanked the fans for coming to the show.

Could we be seeing more of Kohei Kinoshita in the future? He recently announced he will be leaving Dove Pro in August but hasn’t said what his plans are going to be after that. Chris Brookes beat him today in a non-title match but could he be sending some signals out by having a good performance against the KO-D Openweight Champion?

Match #5 went off the deep end because of No Name. She took both Kikutaro and Kuishinbo Kamen away from the ring backstage and after a few moments some screaming could be heard coming from their direction. No Name then returned to the ring carrying their decapitated heads! Everyone else in the match fainted from shock including Matsui. No Name ran off with the heads and Daisuke Kiso had to call off the match. Antonio Honda, Shunma Katsumata and Ram Kaichow all recovered afterwards and helped Matsui regain consciousness by kicking him.

Takeshita’s mother Keiko Takeshita was in attendance and even interrupted the opening speeches. When Matsui tried to stop her she gave him a Lariat and the Rainmaker.

7. Yoshiko Hasegawa, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro when Hasegawa submitted Kazashiro with the Muffler Hold (13:00).

Yoshiko Hasegawa said she was able to win the main event thanks to the wrestlers she was teaming with. But next time she will have to fight alone when she challenges Suzume for the International Princess Title. That match happens on 31st May at Shino Suzuki’s homecoming show so she told her they have both have to win there. She wants to see her juniors live selfishly like she is right now. HIMAWARI later said she wants to keep winning too so she can challenge for the IP Title again. Backstage Suzume said she could feel the sincerity coming from Hasegawa and it is firing her up for the title match.

The four year anniversary of Kaya Toribami’s pro wrestling debut is coming up soon. She was introduced to Tokyo Joshi Pro by Shoko Nakajima and while she had fun wrestling on the undercards, she never considered herself as someone who could challenge her seniors for championships. But recently her feelings about that changed and she now wants to have a passionate title match with Nakajima where she can fight her heart out! Nakajima asked which of her two championships does Toribami want to fight her for and she picked the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title because she wants a singles match with Nakajima in particular. Nakajima said she understands Toribami’s abilities better than anyone and then explained she needs this championship to keep going back to America. The title is also a magical belt that can make dreams come true. It can transform a small Japanese girl into a giant monster that can shock the world! Toribami understood and promised to go beyond her potential to try and take it from her. The title match will take place on 7th June, the first day of Toribami’s fifth year as a pro wrestler. Backstage Nakajima approved of what Toribami did today because she normally doesn’t stand out much. She thinks it would do Toribami some good if she stood out more.

The new ring announcer and replacement for Sayuri Namba was properly introduced to everybody for the first time after being revealed on a Youtube video yesterday. Rise Shirai will begin her new role on the 24th May show acting as Namba’s apprentice for one month. The apprenticeship will last up until Namba’s graduation in June.
