Having a Beer Garden show means everybody goes there to get drunk, right? Not always. Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes made a request for today’s main event to be a Drunk Rules match. However Danshoku Dieno is currently avoiding alcohol for his health and refused to be irresponsible about it. Hisaya Imabayashi agreed it would be a bad move for DDT to force one of their wrestlers to drink when they do not want to and came up with a compromise. A Drunk Match would go ahead for Ueno and Brookes but Dieno would be allowed to drink cola instead when prompted to. Yuki Ishida was also permitted to drink on Yoshihiko’s behalf. The wrestlers would have to drink after every kickout, rope break or if music suddenly played during the match. Dieno brought Yoshihiko up to the top of a ladder while everybody held it steady for their safety (a hot topic in puroresu this week due to the same actions happening at the Best Of The Super Jr.) until Brookes decided to topple Yoshihiko over. A brawl around the arena also resulted in Yoshihiko diving off of the top of the lighting rig. Dieno drinking cola instead of alcohol brought up an unintended consequence of needing to use the bathroom so he had to abandon his tag partner for a while. When he returned armed with toilet paper, Dieno had to fight off Ueno & Brookes on his own until Yoshihiko reappeared wrapped in empty beer cans and diving into the ring. Brookes tried to force Dieno to drink alcohol but Dieno used the Lip Lock to pass the drink over to Ueno. He then made Ueno and Brookes Lip Lock each other then attacked Brookes to make him spit out the beer. Dieno & Yoshihiko then applied a Double Gaydo Clutch on Brookes to win the match after over half an hour of mayhem. After the match Dieno showed regret and admitted he may start to hate DDT’s beer garden shows. However Ueno told everybody they can still enjoy the show without the need for beer, just make sure you don’t drink as much cola as you would alcohol. Dieno wasn’t convinced by Ueno’s drunk ramblings.

After HARASHIMA won his match, he announced to everyone that he and his wife recently welcomed their second child into the world.

For the 5,000 yen weapons match Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida pooled together their money to hire Ryota Nakatsu as their weapon.


Prism Greed Homecoming, Uesaka’s Twilight Rouge

May 26, 2026

I thought I was going to have much more non-DDT news to catch up on but apparantly not. I’ll be travelling back home in the next few days but I’ll be all caught up so you probably won’t notice anything unusual, knock on wood.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN OSAKA”, 30/05/2026
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Sakura Hattori Vs Mifu Ashida Vs Ren Konatsu
2. Arisu Endo Vs Shion Kanzaki
3. Hyper Misao & Kira Summer Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
4. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs HIMAWARI & Chika Nanase
5. Miyu Yamashita & Toga Vs Shoko Nakajima & Wakana Uehara
6. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Mizuki, Uta Takami & Mahiro Kiryu

Azalea Taisho Hall holds a special place in the hearts of Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro because that venue is where their tag team Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed was first formed.

This will also be Shion Kanzaki’s first time wrestling in Osaka. Arisu Endo is her opponent for this milestone.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STAND ALONE ’26”, 07/06/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Twilight Rouge Presents 3 Way Tag Match: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida
2. Yuki Aino, Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki Vs Arisu Endo, Sakura Hattori & Kira Summer
3. Wakana Uehara Vs Toga
4. YuuRI Vs Chika Nanase
5. MIRAI Vs Haru Kazashiro
6. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Mahiro Kiryu
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Mizuki & Uta Takami
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku

About time Chika Nanase gets a chance to prove herself on a bigger stage. YuuRI is stopping by Tokyo Joshi Pro to give her a match in Korakuen Hall.

TJPW already announced that Sumire Uesaka will be a special guest commentator on the show. Now we know the reason why. She is currently involved with running a vampire school themed café called Twilight Rouge and the café is going to be sponsoring the 3 Way Tag Match. The winning team will receive “1,000,000 R”, which is the gimmick currency used by the café (R meaning Rouge in this case). Uesaka along with several vampires from the café will present the prize to the winners after the match.

Uesaka is also currently the reigning Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion and earlier this week she had to juggle that responsibility with her café gig. Antonio Honda barged into the café a couple of days ago intending to beat Uesaka for the belt. However Uesaka protected herself by using vampire magic to hypnotise Honda and make him enjoy a drink on the premises instead. Then Uesaka gave Honda a message to go and tell everyone: “The portal to Twilight Rouge leads straight to the Demon Realm!”


YUZUKI Joins SLC, The Monster Returns, Shinkansen Box Office Pass

May 26, 2026

DDT “EARLY SUMMER BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026”, 26/05/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Yuya Koroku & Hinata Kasai
2. 5,000 Yen Allowance Limit Weapons Allowed Death Match: MAO & Kazuki Hirata Vs Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida
3. Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato Vs Antonio Honda & Junta Miyawaki
4. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA Vs Rukiya
5. KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Shunma Katsumata, To-y & Akito
6. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes Vs Danshoku Dieno & Yoshihiko

Yesterday DDT announced that Masami Inahata’s back injury was diagnosed as a lumbar sprain and he will need more time off to recover. His return is now delayed until mid-June. Rukiya will replace Inahata as HARASHIMA’s opponent on the upcoming Beer Garden show. The match Rukiya was originally booked for has now removed MJ Paul to even out the teams.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2026 FINAL!!”, 31/05/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuki Ishida Vs Rukiya & Hinata Kasai
1. Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Jun Akiyama, Naomi Yoshimura & Junta Miyawaki
2. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda Vs KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI)
3. Special Tag Match ~ Kaisei Takechi Return Match: Yuki Ueno & Kaisei Takechi Vs Kazuki Hirata & To-y
4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
5. King Of DDT – Semi Final: Minoru Suzuki Vs Shinya Aoki
6. King Of DDT – Semi Final: MAO Vs Danshoku Dieno
7. King Of DDT – Final: X Vs X

A nice surprise added to the show is the return of Kaisei Takechi. He’s hasn’t wrestled in almost two months because of his appendicitis but will be back and ready to go this upcoming weekend.

Over the last few months the stage actress Yuzuki Hoshimoto has appeared at ringside to support Strange Love Connection as an acquaintance of both MAO and KANON. In some cases she even lends a helping hand when things got a bit too out of control. Well she recently asked KANON if she could join SLC as a proper member and her proposal was accepted. From now on whenever she appears in DDT she will go by the name of YUZUKI and it sounds like she will be put in a similar position as KIMIHIRO as a hype person for SLC’s entrances.

The match order has not been decided yet other than the main event and the dark match.

DDT “DDT MY LOVE 2026”, 03/06/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Junta Miyawaki Three Match Trial – Match 2: Junta Miyawaki Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata Vs Akito & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai Vs Kazuma Sumi, To-y, Yuki Ishida & Rukiya

It hasn’t reached the point yet where D GENERATIONS are their own unit (paleyouth existing puts the kibosh on that happening for now) but there are times when they will all be on the same page to fight a common opponent. Getting to fight the entire FANTÔMES DRAMATIC foursome is an example.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TAKASHIMAYA VOL. 4”, 06/06/2025
Tokyo Shinjuku Takashimaya 1st Floor JR Exit Special Venue

1. Shinjuku Takashimaya Half-Day Promotional Ambassador Time-Lag Entry Battle Royal: Kazuma Sumi Vs Junta Miyawaki Vs Yukio Naya Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuni Vs Yuki Ishida Vs Rukiya Vs Hyper Misao Vs Yuki Kamifuku Vs Pokotan
2. paleyouth Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Hinata Kasai
3. The 37KAMIINA Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs MAO, KANON & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO)

I didn’t think the Takashimaya building in Shinjuku would want to be associated with wrestling again after the Sumire Uesaka incident back in March but they’re allowing DDT to hold their annual outdoor show in the area again. Not only is there a Battle Royal to determine who gets to be the stores ambassador for the rest of the day but Saki Akai will be there to interview a guest or guests to be announced.

DDT “DRAMATIC STYLE 2026”, 10/06/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Shunma Katsumata, Kazuki Hirata & Kumadori
2. KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul, Ilusion & Haruto Sakuraba Vs MAO, KANON, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno

DAMNATION T.A needed to find someone to fill out their team in order to defend the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles so they called in the big guns. “The Monster” Haruto Sakuraba last wrestled in DDT back at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025”. He won’t be officially recognised as champion due to the rules of the belt (it’s still Demus in that spot) but if SLC are able to beat a team with him in it then they deserve to become champions!

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026”, 11/08/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Time Delayed Entry Battle Royal: Sumire Uesaka (c) Vs X
2. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & X Vs X & X
3. Dramatic Dream Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Kaisei Takechi

DDT have found a way to guarantee that the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion will show up at Sumo Hall this August. Whoever holds the title going into the show will be rewarded with a one year long Shinkansen Box Office pass. This pass will allow the holder to travel on the bullet train at no personal cost whenever DDT books them for one of their regional shows in a twelve month period that begins after the show. Right now Sumire Uesaka is the champion but she has some things lined up elsewhere that may put her in risk of losing the title. I’ll explain in the next post.
