BASARA “BASARA 314 ~UTAGE~” Results

August 21, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 314 ~UTAGE~”, 21/08/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans

1. Masato Kamino defeated Takeru Inoue with the Lariat (8:25).
2. Banana Senga (w/ Gouma Ryu) Vs Antonio Honda ended in a No Contest (8:25).
3. 4 Way Tag Match: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Daichi Kazato & Seiya Morohashi Vs Takato Nakano & Yasu Urano Vs Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita ended in a Draw when Hiroshi and Kazato pinned each other with a simultaneous Backslide Pin, Kraken and Morohashi pinned each other with a simultaneous Backslide Pin, Nakano and Fujita pinned each other with a simultaneous Backslide Pin and Oosugi and Urano pinned each other with a simultaneous Backslide Pin (9:02).
4. Isami Kodaka & FUMA defeated Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT when FUMA submitted SAGAT with an Armbar (13:25).
5. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Daiki Shimomura with the Dragon Kicker (16:54).
*V1 for Takumi Tsukamoto.

With Daiki Shimomura now taken care of, Takumi Tsukamoto can move on to focus on defending the Union MAX Title against Ryota Nakatsu on 23rd September. That show will be the last time BASARA will be inside Shinjuku FACE and it will be part of the opening day of the Shinjuku FACE Countdown Series. Nakatsu describes the upcoming title match as Tsukamoto’s big mountain facing against Nakatsu’s vast ocean. Tsukamoto claimed he was an island so both the mountains and the sea belong to him. Nakatsu disagrees because Tsukamoto only used the “mountains” to beat Shuji Ishikawa. Tsukamoto admitted Nakatsu has a point but at Shinjuku FACE next month he will show him there is a bigger side to him.

Match #2 was confusing from the beginning as Antonio Honda walked to the ring dressed in Banana Senga’s gear and then Senga appeared wearing Honda’s outfit. Gouma Ryu was at ringside for the match and only noticed halfway through that the wrestlers had swapped personalities. One thing let to another and Gouma started making fun of both wrestlers for being bald. Suddenly the UWF theme began playing and the ring announcer Yoshiro Yabu came down to tell Ryu that baldness is hereditary. The three bald people all attacked Ryu with Bionic Elbows and Yabu pinned him with the Shining Wizard. The bald people all left the ring singing along to Antonio Inoki’s theme song and the referee called for a no contest.

Although Takeru Inoue lost to Masato Kamino in the opening match, he still wanted to fight Aijin Tag so he can get revenge for losing matches against both Kamino & Takato Nakano. He already has a partner in mind and it is somebody he has teamed with before. It is Tomoki Hatano from HEAT-UP and their team is the Death Volleyball Club! Kamino praised Inoue for showing spirit but Inoue took that to mean the match will also be for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles! Kamino tried to correct him that it wasn’t but Inoue wouldn’t listen and left ringside. Kamino later explained what happened to Nakano and Nakano also came to the conclusion that Kamino had accepted a challenge for the titles so they will have to go through with it. They want to set the record for most title defences anyway and will set up the bout for 23rd September.


Stick Takeru In The Opener, KING OF “Non-Alcoholic” DRUNK, Rukiya’s Throat Hurts

August 20, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 314 ~UTAGE~”, 21/08/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Masato Kamino Vs Takeru Inoue
2. Banana Senga (w/ Gouma Ryu) Vs Antonio Honda
3. 4 Way Tag Match: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Daichi Kazato & Seiya Morohashi Vs Takato Nakano & Yasu Urano Vs Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita
4. Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT Vs Isami Kodaka & FUMA
5. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Daiki Shimomura

Never mind what I said before about Takeru Inoue getting pushed up the card. His match with Masato Kamino is in fact the opener for tomorrow’s show.

DDT “DRAMATIC BEER GARDEN NEVERLAND 2026 IN UENO”, 26/08/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Sanshiro Takagi, Akito, Junta Miyawaki & Masami Inahata Vs Jun Akiyama, HARASHIMA, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuki Ishida
2. Ueno Style Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: Shunma Katsumata & Kazuma Sumi Vs To-y & Yuya Koroku
3. Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere Anytime Anywhere Battle: KANON Vs Antonio Honda
4. Crocodile Death Match Final Chapter: MAO, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion
5. KING OF “Non-Alcoholic” DRUNK 2026: Danshoku Dieno Vs Takeshi Masada Vs Daichi Sato Vs Yuni
6. KING OF DRUNK 2026 ~August Basho~: Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes Vs Kazuki Hirata & Hinata Kasai

It’s nice of DDT to finally be more considerate towards the non-alcoholic wrestlers on the roster during Beer Garden shows. The tee-total wrestlers are getting a match for themselves attached to the KING OF DRUNK series, even if some of the participants don’t drink only because they aren’t allowed to yet.

Time is ticking away for the Anytime Anywhere Anytime Anywhere Gauntlet to be used. If KANON waits too long it may end up becoming too late to use it. While he has that to worry about, he will also have to defend it against Antonio Honda.

DDT “LAST SUMMER STANDING ~SUMMER’S RECKONING~”, 30/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Naomi Yoshimura & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Yuni & Yuki Ishida
1. 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) Vs Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai
2. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Jun Akiyama & Fuminori Abe
3. Special 8-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano, Akito & Soma Takao Vs Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku, Kazuma Sumi & Masami Inahata
4. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki (c) Vs Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata
5. DDT Extreme Title: Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Kumadori
6. DDT Universal Title: Ryusuke Taguchi (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki
7. KO-D Openweight Title: MAO (c) Vs Daichi Sato

The upcoming Korakuen Hall show has some changes, the most important of which applies to the KO-D Tag Team Titles bout. Rukiya has been diagnosed with acute pharyngitis and acute tonsillitis so DDT has pulled him from their shows up until early September. That means his title match with Jun Akiyama against Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki has to be cancelled. In response to this announcement, both Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata have offered to step in on short notice on behalf of Rukiya because he recently passed the audition to join the DDT Variety Team (without ever taking part because he is ill) and become their new ace (which he might be completely unaware of). Dieno has even upped the ante by claiming the Variety Team will disband if they lose! Hirata also happens to be fishing buddies with Rukiya away from wrestling so he is motivated to catch a belt-sized trophy for his buddy.

The new tag title match has a knock on effect on the rest of the card beneath it. Jun Akiyama will now be taking part in a different tag match, teaming up with Fuminori Abe. That means Abe is no longer involved in the Smile Squash 8-Man Tag match built around Soma Takao. Abe’s spot is now taken up by Kazuma Sumi making his team now an all D GENERATIONS affair. Viento Levante gets bumped out of the dark match to take Sumi’s place in the 3 Way trios match and Tomomitsu Matsunaga is added to the dark match to make everything look neat and tidy.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 23/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shion Kanzaki Vs Momo Sato
2. Sakura Hattori Vs Haru Kazashiro
3. Hyper Misao, Mahiro Kiryu & Shino Suzuki Vs Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara Vs Sumire Natsu & Mifu Ashida
5. HIMAWARI & Toga Vs Chika Nanase & Kira Summer
6. Miu Watanabe, Arisu Endo & Ren Konatsu Vs Mizuki, Mei Suruga & Uta Takami
7. Yuki Arai & Miyu Yamashita Vs Hiroyo Matsumoto & Shoko Nakajima
8. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: Suzume Vs Rika Tatsumi

We’ve come a long way from Suzume becoming a pro wrestler because she looked up to Rika Tatsumi. Now it is their fate to fight over the Tokyo Princess Cup! It will be the first time the final will pit one champion against the other, Suzume being the International Princess Champion and Tatsumi holding one of the Princess Tag Team Titles.

The two losing semi-finalists have to deal with the consolation prize of teaming up together HIMAWARI & Toga will be facing a newly motivated Chika Nanase (her homecoming show was recently announced) and the returning Kira Summer.

Whenever Tokyo Joshi Pro has two rookies who have yet to win a match it will be inevitable that they will be put in a match against each other so one of them can earn their first victory. Shion Kanzaki and Momo Sato are now being put in that position together.

Earlier this week a new Twitter account appeared and attracted the attention of the TJPW locker room. Over the following days it posted teases until today when it was revealed to be Tojojo, the brand new TJPW mascot. The promotion has been brainstorming on creating a mascot for a while now with everyone in the promotion drawing concept art of what it should look like. But what’s catching everyone there off guard is Tojojo has immediately claimed it will also be the new TJPW Manager. What that means we just have to wait and see.

GANBARE☆PRO “SPY GAME 2026”, 05/09/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Keisuke Ishii Vs Shota Kawakami
2. Shinichiro Tominaga, Masashi Takeda & Tyson Maeguchi Vs Shigehiro Irie, Takuya Wada & YuuRI
3. Sentaro Motoshima 1st Anniversary Debut Match: Mizuki Watase Vs Sentaro Motoshima
4. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match Part 3: Ken Ohka Vs Yumehito Imanari
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu (c) Vs Moeka Haruhi & Rydeen Hagane

The pair now called Sussun Katsun have become the new Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Champions. They made the same mistake a lot of champions make by saying they will take on any challenge thrown at them then get surprised when the challenge immediately appears in front of them. Moeka Haruhi & Rydeen Hagane have joined forces, describing their tag team like Beauty & The Beast. Hagane also doesn’t want everyone to forget that she was one of the first women to work with Ganbare☆Pro well before the Ganbare☆Joshi division was ever established. So if there is any wrestler who deserves to fight for a GanPro championship, it’s her.

Is three commemorative matches too much to celebrate one anniversary? Ken Ohka is enjoying his 25th year in wrestling so much he doesn’t want the good time to end. He challenge his good pal Yumehito Imanari to a singles match so he too can join in on the fun. Unfortunately Imanari has gotten fed up with GanPro relying on wrestler anniversaries so often to promote their big matches. There are other stories these matches can be booked around you know! Imanari will take the match with Ohka but only so he can take his anger out on Ohka for being so greedy.

To make things a little more awkward, young Sentaro Motoshima is going to celebrate the first anniversary of his debut match on the same show. Don’t worry Motoshima, Imanari’s not mad at you. I’m sure of it.

DDT “YUKI UENO 10TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW -IN MY MIND “10”-”, 13/09/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Shinya Aoki Vs HARASHIMA Vs Akito
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ No Tag Rules: Yuki Ueno, HUB & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Ilusion, Yuni & Daichi Sato
3. Special Tag Match: MAO & Yoshihiko Vs Kazuki Hirata & Kaisei Takechi
4. Yuki Ueno 10th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Shunma Katsumata

From the mind of Yuki Ueno he will conjure up the trio of himself, HUB & Daisuke Sasaki has a possibly united force. The idea he has in mind is to put three skillful wrestlers together for a match against three young opponents who all have a world of potential ahead of them. Those three youngsters are Ilusion, Yuni & Daichi Sato. The immediate reaction from Sasaki is unhappiness that he and Ilusion will be on opposite teams.

Three days after Shinya Aoki fights in RIZIN, he will be returning to DDT for a 3 Way Match. If he gets beaten badly by Mikuru Asakura then maybe HARASHIMA and Akito could both take it easy on him.

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2026 ~AUTUMN OF PRO WRESTLING~”, 21/09/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion

It all depends on how things are going with DAMNATION T.A over the next month. Ilusion has become addicted to collecting championships so he went and challenged Strange Love Connection all by himself without consulting the rest of the unit. Sasaki seems to be okay with it which would continue his current apathetic behavior over who ultimately calls the shots within the group. Hideki Okatani will be on the challenger team looking for a chance to become a champion again so soon after losing the DDT Extreme Title. SLC accepted Ilusion’s challenge because Viento Levante wants to beat him. KANON will also likely be motivated to defend the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles against the stable he once held the belts with before they kicked him out. Yukio Naya is just having a good time because it was his birthday recently and he gets to hang out with his friends a lot.


DDT “AFTER PETER PAN ~RYOGOKU AFTER PARTY~” Results

Audition-Style Match To Discover A New Generation Of Variety Team Talent Practical Examination ~ 4 Way Match: “I Only Steal Once Every 3 Shows” Dressing Room Thief Ishida Vs “The Soaring Sky Saint” Kazuma Sumi Vs “Mr. Hydro Pump” Water Masami Vs “Variety Monkey” Hinata Kasai ended in a No Contest (3:45).
1a. Audition-Style Match To Discover A New Generation Of Variety Team Talent Final Round ~ 4 Vs 3 Handicap Match: “I Only Steal Once Every 3 Shows” Dressing Room Thief Ishida, “The Soaring Sky Saint” Kazuma Sumi, “Mr. Hydro Pump” Water Masami and “Variety Monkey” Hinata Kasai defeated Kazuki Hirata, Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda when Sumi pinned Hirata with the School Boy (0:06).
*Rukiya passes the audition.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Kazuma Sumi defeated Danshoku Dieno (c) with the School Boy (7:28 pm).
*Kazuma Sumi becomes the 1,901st champion.
2. Super Sasadango Machine Title: Ilusion defeated Sasadango Belt (c) (w/ Super Sasadango Machine) with the Swanton Bomb (12:06).
*Sasadango Belt fails in V1. Ilusion becomes the 2nd Super Sasadango Machine Champion.
3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) defeated Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato when Levante pinned Masada after the Knee Lift from Naya (18:41).
*V1 for STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION.

It’s been almost a week since “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” and DDT decided to hold a little after party to celebrate. This was a chance to tie up a loose end from Sumo Hall with paleyouth challenging Strange Love Connection to a rematch for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles in a bid to regain their championship. Takeshi Masada led his team to attacked Viento Levante to prove the masked wrestler is still the weak link of SLC. Daichi Sato and Yukio Naya continued their heavyweight battle that wasn’t settled the last time around. Yuya Koroku could have made Levante submit to the Triangle Lancer but ended up getting cut off from him. Instead KANON & Naya focused their attacks on Masada and left him beaten up to the point where Levante could pin him for the second time in a row, giving SLC a successful title defence.

After the match Ilusion approached SLC and declared that DAMNATION T.A are going to be the next challengers. He admitted however that he had not run this plan through with his teammates and made this decision by himself. Levante accepted the challenge just so he can get his own back for all the bad things Ilusion has done to him. The title match will happen on the 21st September Korakuen Hall show. Backstage KANON said his team will welcome paleyouth challenging them again whenever they want. Naya said today is his best birthday ever and he thanked Levante for doing a great job to make it happen. Meanwhile Sato said he is going to help paleyouth regain their momentum by winning the KO-D Openweight Title from MAO on 20th August.

There was a bit of a mix up over what the Super Sasadango Machine Vs Ilusion match actually was meant to be. The Sasadango Belt that is often worn around his waist was on the line but Sasadango revealed that beating him does not mean a new champion would be crowned. Instead Ilusion had to wrestle a match against the title belt itself and the winner would get Super Sasadango Machine?!? Ilusion took him at his word and actually fought the belt while Sasadango interfered when he felt the need to. Ilusion would then unmask and Low Blow Sasadango after a ref bump. He did the Swanton Bomb to Sasadango and then hit the same move onto the championship to win the match and become the new holder of the Sasadango Belt! After the match Ilusion told Sasadango he would have to wear a replica of his belt from now on. Sasadango swore revenge and promised to get his belt back no matter what it takes.

The current generation of the DDT Variety Team are getting old so the time has come for new blood to be added. Kazuki Hirata, Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda forced a bunch of the D GENERATION wrestlers to show off their talents in an audition for a spot in the group. Toru Owashi was absent because according to the other judges he is practically already dead from old age. The contestants attempted prop comedy and created new nicknames form themselves. Yuki Ishida became a “Dressing Room Thief” who only steals once every three shows, Kazuma Sumi was “The Soaring Sky Saint”, Masami Inahata temporarily changed his name to Water Masami because “Thunder” and “Fire” were already taken. His nickname is “Mr. Hydro Pump”. Hinata Kasai called himself “Variety Monkey” and denied he was copying a different name already used by somebody close to him. The wrestlers then tried to have a 4 Way Match using their new gimmicks until Sumi got tired of it and turned everyone against the judges. The bout turned into a Handicap Match that D GENERATIONS immediately won. The judges then announced who passed the audition. The winner was Rukiya, who wasn’t even at the show today! The judges thought that was the funniest punchline they could come up with which made everyone else mad. Another brawl broke out and in the middle of it, Sumi pinned Danshoku Dieno with a School Boy to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title.

2. Mizuki defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Southern Cross (7:38).
3. Miu Watanabe, Raku, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami defeated Shoko Nakajima, Wakana Uehara, Haru Kazashiro & Ren Konatsu when Raku pinned Konatsu with the Doctor Yellow (11:23).
4. Miyu Yamashita defeated Pom Harajuku with the Attitude Adjustment (7:09).
5. Yuki Arai, Yuki Kamifuku & Yuki Aino defeated Hyper Misao, Arisu Endo & Sakura Hattori when Kamifuku pinned Hattori with the Famouser (10:19).
6. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Rika Tatsumi defeated Toga with the Missile Hip (14:23).
7. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Suzume defeated HIMAWARI with the Ring A Bell (12:35).

The Tokyo Princess Cup final is for the first time going to be between two champions. Suzume had to beat HIMAWARI in the main event of today’s show. She tried to stop HIMAWARI’s hair whipping in the corner by pulling on her braids but HIMAWARI turned that against her and flipped Suzume down to the mat. However Suzume countered the Sunflower Tempest into a Noshigami, followed up with the top rope running Facecrusher and got the victory using the Ring A Bell. HIMAWARI is upset to make it this far in her second Princess Cup appearance but not reach the final, especially since she thought it was fate for her to be drawn with Suzume in the semi final. She promised to use her tears as nourishment into the next year so she can bloom into an even bigger flower.

Toga couldn’t take down Rika Tatsumi in the other semi final no matter what she did. The Absolute Zero and then the Muffler Hold didn’t work. Tatsumi also took Toga’s tired Elbow Strikes before hitting her back with the Twist Of Fate and finishing her off with the Missile Hip. Toga was disappointed that her blue flame that beat Yuki Aino couldn’t beat the dragon flames of Tatsumi. She also thinks she is making progress in expressing her emotions more during her matches.

At the end of the show Tatsumi and Suzume met in the ring to talk about the final taking place on 23rd August. Tatsumi admits she didn’t want to face Suzume in the tournament at all but she is looking forward to it. Backstage Tatsumi brought up the times she lost to Suzume in the 2022 Princess Cup and also in the 2024 Max Heart Tournament. If they’re going to fight then Tatsumi thinks she will need to crush Suzume completely. Suzume says this will be her greatest test so she will run all the way to Korakuen Hall using this momentum.

Match #4 was put together to be a big test for Pom Harajuku to endure. Instead it turned into a horror story for Miyu Yamashita! When Yamashita entered the ring, the lights went out. When they flicked back on, Harajuku was replaced by Sadako from the movie Ring! Yamashita was terrified and struggled to put up a fight. Sadako then found Shion Kanzaki at ringside, put a wig on her and brought her into the ring to be a decoy for Yamashita to fight. After further scares, Yamashita finally pulled off the wig and discovered Sadako was Harajuku in disguise. After that she was able to give her the Attitude Adjustment and win the match.

At the start of the show Chika Nanase announced that Tokyo Joshi Pro will be holding a show in her hometown of Sakai City, Osaka on 29th November. She said she is incredibly happy and honored to be wrestling there soon.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall
576 Fans

1. Shinichiro Tominaga, Shota Kawakami & Guts Ishijima defeated Keisuke Ishii, Sentaro Motoshima & SUSHI when Kawakami pinned Motoshima with the FOX・JUMP・OVER (8:37).
2. Rydeen Hagane defeated Moeka Haruhi with the Moonsault Press (6:55).

4. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match Part 2: Ken Ohka, Akira Shoji & Masashi Takeda defeated Isami Kodaka, Chris Brookes & Fuminori Abe when Ohka pinned Kodaka with the Flame Spear (12:20).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu defeated Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) when Katsumura submitted Wada with the Modified Ninja Choke (11:47).
*The Deadlock fails in V3. Sussun Katsun become the 7th Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team champions!
6. Yamazaki Electric Presents – Special Single Match: Takumi Iroha defeated YuuRI with the Running Three (14:23).
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title – GRACE GROUP Presents: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Shigehiro Irie with the Elbow To You, Dear (23:18).
*V5 for Mizuki Watase.

The main event brought back the days of RENEGADES with Mizuki Watase entering the ring wearing a suit to defend the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title against Shigehiro Irie. It was a match where Watase surpassed his close friend, almost knocking him out with Elbow Strikes. He also used a version of the Venetian that looked a lot like the Tenzan Tombstone Driver on the same day that Hiroyoshi Tenzan was retiring from wrestling. Irie was still conscious from the strikes and had enough whereabotus to tell the referee not to stop the match. Instead, Irie continued to take the blows for one last stand until he fell towards Watase. He was caught and Watase thanked Irie before knocking him down with one last Elbow Strike and pinning him to win.

Watase thanked Irie again after the match and joked he can bring him to Disney Land sometime. Watase is proud to say everything he learned in wrestling was taught to him by Irie and he will become the greatest masterpiece Irie has ever trained. Irie didn’t want to take the credit and told Watase he did it all by himself. He remembers a beautiful show they saw together at Disney Land that featured a line once said by Walt Disney: “It’s just been a sort of dress rehearsal, and we’re just getting started.” Watase and Irie are only just getting started too. Later backstage Irie described the match as a “Dramatic Dream”. Watase understands that and does not forget where the two of them came from.

Takumi Iroha had been looking forward to her first singles match with YuuRI today. She always thought she had a knack for wrestling and the pre-match comments from YuuRI about surpassing her idol sounded kind of scary to her. Iroha is used to younger wrestlers who pick fights with her having a chip on their shoulder but she found it refreshing to see YuuRI express herself without trying to act cool about it. Iroha enjoyed wrestling her today and looks forward to crushing her again and again. YuuRI said she would give it her all to start a big revolution today but it didn’t happen. But if her performance motivated the fans to work harder then she can accept that result with no regrets.

New champions were crowned earlier in the show when Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu defeated The Deadlock to win the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles. Katsumura & Susumu also now have the team name Sussun Katsun. The MMA fighting vibes were felt throughout the match when Tyson Maeguchi pulled a tyre out to lure Katsumura into a Tyre Boxing fight. However the referee refused to let that happen and got rid of it. Katsumura ended up putting Takuya Wada into a Ninja Choke and tapped him out while Susumu held back Maeguchi in a Crossface. The Deadlock have said they want to remain a team after losing the titles but they may also go fight each other in a singles match to push each other into improving more.

After the match, Katsumura said there is no other 50 year old like him. Susumu can’t say that because he is 43. Sussun Katsun then opened themselves up to be challenged by anybody. Rydeen Hagane walked out to answer their call followed by her opponent earlier in the night Moeka Haruhi. The two decided they have to be the first challengers for the new tag champions. Katsumura & Susumu attempted to cheap shot them but Hagane knocked the both of them down with a Double Lariat. She and Haruhi then posed with the title belts. Backstage Haruhi described her team with Hagane like Beauty & The Beast. Hagane also said she is the original Ganbare☆Joshi, having first appeared in GanPro during its debut year in 2013 as Gorikiko. So she thinks she definitely deserves to be a champion here!

Ken Ohka felt like he had a great day today. He took on a rare double booking at Korakuen Hall where he won both matches. First he beat Yumi Ohka in a Ohka Contra Ohka match that main evented a WAVE show (Yumi now cannot use the name Ohka for the next two and a half months) then later here in GanPro he scored the winning fall in a 6-Man Tag Match that continued the celebration of his 25th Anniversary in wrestling. Even more impressive, he pinned Isami Kodaka to get that second win. Now he’s feeling so good about this anniversary he wants to hold a third match to celebrate it and challenged Yumehito Imanari. However, Imanari got angry at the idea because he thinks Ganbare☆Pro has been relying too much on anniversaries in general lately to book their matches instead of coming up with other storylines. It’s annoying enough that Ohka wants a third commemorative match to begin with.

Today was the final GanPro show for referee Nido Teshima. He is the referee for TTT Pro Wrestling and will be retiring on 1st September, 2027 but today was his last appearance in GanPro. The roster gifted Teshima with a bouquet and celebrated with him to end the show.

A back injury has taken Mahiro Kiryu off of Sunday’s Tokyo Joshi Pro show so it has caused a big change to the middle of the card. Yuki Yuki Yuki are no longer going to face each other in a 3 Way Match. Instead Yuki Arai, Yuki Kamifuku & Yuki Aino are all united as a trio once more for a 6-Woman Tag Match. A few other matches have bodies swapped around which somehow left Pom Harajuku now having to go face Miyu Yamashita all by herself.

Shunma Katsumata has decided this run as the DDT Extreme Champion will be spent feeling how his challengers take in pro wrestling. Kumadori is first up with the dancer wanting to go as far as he can so he can be seen as something other than a guest wrestler by DDT fans.

There will be a full reunion of Smile Squash to mark Soma Takao’s impending exit from DDT. All four mainstay members will be reunited for the first time since 2017 for an 8-Man Tag Match.

“SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES ~MEISHIN KOKOTSU~”, 30/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. ~Many Thanks Battle Royal~: X Vs X
2. ~Go to the NEXT~: Ilusion & Homare Vs Shota Kofuji & Masami Inahata
3. ~THE FACE GENERATION~: MAO, Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes Vs Dragon Kid, Yuma Aoyagi & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan
4. ~W-FACE FINAL~: Aja Kong & Chihiro Hashimoto Vs Mayumi Ozaki & Sareee

The main event has been decided for the very last wrestling show held inside Shinjuku FACE and it is the most fitting one they could have thought of. The main event of the very first show held in the venue 21 years ago was Mayumi Ozaki & Dynamite Kansai against Aja Kong & Manami Toyota. Only Ozaki and Kong are still active out of those four so they are going against each other in another tag match. This time Kong is teaming up with Chihiro Hashimoto from Sendai Girls while Ozaki must fight side by side with Sareee!

You can’t close down Shinjuku FACE if Kuroshio TOKYO Japan never finishes his entrance! Maybe the same goes for if Dragon Kid horizontally grabs onto a ring post and wiggles his body out of reach for the staff to grab him. Can’t rely on Yuma Aoyagi, he won’t do anything about it.

The participants in the Battle Royal will not be revealed until the day of the show. It will be a Royal Rumble style match.

The match order other than the main event will not be decided until the day of the show.

6. Unit Shuffle! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & HARASHIMA defeated Chris Brookes, KANON & To-y when Ueno pinned To-y with the Jul.2 (24:17).

The final ever DDT Beer Garden show inside Shinjuku FACE took place today. The main event had everyone swap around their costumes and mix up their teams, ignoring unit alliances. Chris Brookes and HARASHIMA swapped costumes, MAO and KANON swapped costumes and Yuki Ueno and To-y swapped costumes. Even KIMIHIRO and YUZUKI swapped outfits with each other! It led to everyone trying to replicate the moves and motions of the wresters they were dressed as. The two teams brawled away from the ring, leading to some confusion when Shunma Katsumata suddenly appeared in the ring wearing a spare of Ueno’s outfit that To-y was also wearing. Yuki Iino then crashed the match dressed as Yukio Naya. HARASHIMA then reappeared but this time he was dressed as Antonio Honda and he did the entire Gongitsune bit. Everybody gradually returned to their normal selves to finish off the match. At the end of the show, Ueno told everyone there was one thing he would like to see one last time in Shinjuku FACE. The “Pai Rangers” song then played over the speakers for HARASHIMA to dance to.

After recovering from the chronic hangover that kept him off yesterday’s show, Daisuke Sasaki was back to fight a fake version of himself. Fake Daisuke Sasaki showed up accompanied with Fake DAMNATION T.A members Fake Hideki Okatani and Fake MJ Paul. They confronted the real versions until all of a sudden another Daisuke Sasaki doppelganger appeared named Daision Sasaki. Daision attacked the other two until he accidentally hit himself with a chair bouncing off the ropes. Then the real Sasaki and the Fake Sasaki applied a Double Crossface Lock to make Daision give up. Daisuke Kiso wasn’t sure how to call the result so he raised the hands of both Daisuke Sasaki and Fake Daisuke Sasaki.

Shunma Katsumata’s new goal of becoming a DDT Triple Crown Champion has already gone up in smoke. Danshoku Dieno beat him in the Lariat Pro Wrestling match to win both the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title and the remaining Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet. The Lariat match had everyone using the move while theme songs of famous Lariat users played throughout the action. Since NOAH’s own Junta Miyawaki was in the match, some of the non-Lariat related songs played included Naomichi Marufuji’s and Mitsuharu Misawa’s. They also played the AEW and New Japan theme songs for Kazuchika Okada.

The ending of Shinjuku FACE also spurred on the end for one of the biggest grudge matches ever associated with DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro. The two authority figures of the companies Hisaya Imabayashi and Tetsuya Koda agreed to have one final match against each other where the loser must immediately retire! It was a war that showcased heart more than physicality between the two enemies. Koda tried to summon the power of TJPW by attempting Hyper Misao’s Chickenwing Face Lock, Mizuki’s Crossface and Yuki Arai’s Finally. When they wouldn’t work he stuck Imabayashi in a Sleeper Hold that almost choked the DDT GM out. But suddenly the DDT roster all ran down to the ring to show their support for Imabayashi, motivating him to fight out of the hold. He used the Rainmaker motion to knock Koda down with a Spinning Backfist but didn’t have the heart to finally pin the man he couldn’t beat. Koda encouraged him to keep fighting and after a limp Chop Battle, Imabayashi knocked him down with one final Spinning Backfist to win the match. Koda’s sudden retirement ceremony then began only for Imabayashi to interrupt it. He said without Koda as his rival he has no reason to continue wrestling so he will be retiring alongside him! These two retirements are just for being pro wrestlers, they will continue their management roles in their respective promotions.
