All eight teams will be made up of wrestlers from DDT, Big Japan and a wild card group of other wrestlers. Two non-tournament matches will also be on the show and like last year it will only run for around 2 and a half hours.

The newly formed DAMNATION T.A. set their sights on the returning CDK. How different is MJ Paul going to be from Mad Paulie?

BASARA “BASARA 172 ~GLITTER~”, 19/10/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

Oishi wants the entire group to be together for one final match so the 6-Man Tag in Fuji is now an 8-Man Tag. Oishi was already confirmed to be in attendance as the ring announcer. For the members who don’t want to split up this is their chance to convince Oishi and Jun Akiyama that there is still juice left in Junretsu.

A Hardcore Tag Match is taking place with Chris Brookes inviting Drew Parker back to get in on the fun. Toui Kojima returns from injury to face his fellow crop of rookies. And we get the most fitting four wrestlers to challenge for the 8-Man Tag Titles in a dark match.

DDT “DRAMATIC EXPLOSION 2021”, 18/12/2021
Nagoya Congress Center Event Hall

1. Current Blast Death Match: Atsushi Onita Vs X

It coming up to time again for DDT to team with Atsushi Onita for another Current Blast Death Match. His FMWE matches get more attention than Bakuha Koshien ever did so there’s always going to be interest in whatever he gets up to.

Takagi Hurt, Hotta’s AJW-ism, UWA Trios Titles Vacated, Endo Vs Nira II

October 11, 2021

DDT “GET ALIVE 2021”, 12/10/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Masahiro Takanashi, Antonio Honda & Baliyan Akki Vs Gota Ihashi, Yukio Naya & Yuya Koroku
0. Dark Match: Yoshihiko Vs Kazuki Hirata
0. Dark Match: Saki Akai Vs Riko Kawahata
1. Yuki Ishida Debut Match: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Yuki Ishida
2. KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles: Yoshiaki Yatsu, Akito, Hiroshi Yamato & Keigo Nakamura (c) Vs Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada, Mizuki Watase & Hideki Okatani

6. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Isami Kodaka
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura

Sanshiro Takagi had a fall at his home and broke some cartilage in his rib from landing on a kettlebell. He also hit his head off a dumbbell but that didn’t seem to do anything. It will take him two weeks to recover so he cannot wrestle on tomorrow’s show. He will still be in the corner for Toru Owashi & Soma Takao as they take on Pheromones two against three. Takagi advised Takao to bring back the steel basin he used to hit his opponents with.

Shinya Aoki and Yumiko Hotta agreed to have a regular pro wrestling match for the DDT Extreme Title bout. Hotta doesn’t care what the stipulation is, she will use AJW-ism to win not matter what. Last time Hotta was in the ring with Aoki, she pinned him with the Pyramid Driver. She would like to win this move with a big pro wrestling move like that but is wary of Aoki using his MMA style to avoid a repeat result.

Hotta’s protégé Riko Kawahata wants to have a match with Saki Akai that is unique to themselves. She doesn’t feel the pressure and looks forward to the day Hotta passes the baton down to her.

After a longtime rivalry, how will Tetsuya Endo & Kazusada Higuchi get along as a team?

Makoto Oishi is the special ring announcer for the show.

3. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu

Unfortunately Minoru Fujita is still recovering from Covid in the hospital so he will not be fit to wrestle for BASARA later this month. Since the UWA World 6-Man Tag Team Titles has been cancelled or postponed so many times, Sento Minzoku decided to vacate the titles. There will still be a match against Toru Owashi and his team of Toryumon associates and it will be for the vacated titles. Replacing Fujita for the match is Yuko Miyamoto. BASARA also sent a message to Fujita telling him not to rush through his recovery. They will be there for him no matter how long it takes for him to come back.

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura
7. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

The newly babyfaced Daisuke Sasaki sent out the call. His planned DDT Universal Title match was cancelled so he is willing to defend the belt against anybody at Korakuen Hall next week. Isami Kodaka answered the challenge, offering to fight on behalf of his fellow Sento Minzoku stablemate Minoru Fujita. Kodaka also previously challenged Sasaki for the Universal Title in a Hardcore 3 Way Match last June. The heel Sasaki wouldn’t have taken this challenge. But he’s a babyface now so he is all for it and thinks it is destiny to fight Kodaka again. His goal is to deliver an exciting match, win fairly then wake up early tomorrow morning and shine in the sun.

Konosuke Takeshita’s goal for the rest of 2021 is to remain a double champion until the end of the year and to also win the D-Ou Grand Prix. He wants to finish the year with as many wins as he can get. HARASHIMA thinks DISASTER BOX needs to win the KO-D Tag Team Titles because championships are a symbol of strength. Shunma Katsumata pinned HARASHIMA to win the belt so he cannot lose it back to him. He also thinks Naomi Yoshimura isn’t as strong in tag matches as he is in singles. He is basing this opinion on their time wrestling each other in DNA.

Tetsu Inada will be at the show to do guest commentary. The voice actor previously had a starring role on the recent Hiragana Muscle shows.

GANBARE☆PRO “GANBARE☆JOSHI PRO WRESTLING ~ITOSHISATO KOKORONOKABE 2021~”, 24/10/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. YuuRI “Glamorous Valkyrie” Trial Single Match Round 1: YuuRI Vs Asuka
2. Secret Captain’s Fall Elimination 6-Woman Tag Match: Yuna Manase, Moeka Haruhi & Cherry Vs Yuu Yamagata, Makoto & HARUKAZE

The Captain’s Fall Tag is an elimination match but it can immediately end when a team captain gets eliminated. The catch here is nobody knows who the captain is until they are beaten. On the surface, Yuna Manase and Yuu Yamagata look like the obvious choices for captains but the teams can play it sneaky if they want to. Maybe HARUKAZE gets to show how much stronger she has become? How about Moeka Haruhi take charge in Ganbare☆Joshi for once? Cherry can be the wild card choice. And don’t get me started on Makoto. If somebody tells her she can use this match to become a Hashira like Kyojuro Rengoku she is going to take it. Have you seen her social media lately? If you ever find someone who loves you as much as Makoto loves Kyojuro then you will live a happy life indeed.

YuuRI is getting the dreaded trial series. The win-loss records are never good but the experience gained is invaluable. Her first opponent is Asuka.

D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II

September 29, 2021

The D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 already happened at the end of last year. From 2019-2021 DDT held a big arena show early in the year which did not give them much time to organize a round robin tournament to determine who gets a KO-D Openweight Title shot at said show. The solution they came up with was to hold the Grand Prix during the previous winter, giving them ample time to get their plans together. That is how they ended up with the annual sports game franchise naming convention. So to synchronize the tournament name back to the right year, DDT is doing the 2021 Grand Prix again. It’s time for D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II! Both blocks have six wrestlers and the winner of each block advances to the final. 2 points for a win, 1 points for a draw and 0 points for a loss. Block matches have a 30 minute time limit and the final has no time limit.

A Block

Jun Akiyama (2nd Appearance, 2021 Winner)
Tetsuya Endo (5th Appearance)
Yuki Ueno (3rd Appearance)
Naomi Yoshimura (2nd Appearance)
Yuji Hino (1st Appearance)
Bodyguard (1st Appearance)

B Block

Konosuke Takeshita (5th Appearance, 2019 Winner)
HARASHIMA (5th Appearance)

The remnants of DAMNATION are now spreading out across DDT looking for new pairings and fresh matchups. I don’t see Mad Paulie anywhere though. Has he been set free to go live in the wild?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS II”, 09/10/2021
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami
2. Hyper Misao Vs Nodoka Tenma
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Asuka Vs Nao Kakuta & Marika Kobashi
4. Riho & Shoko Nakajima Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo

7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel (c) Vs Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Maki Itoh

A press conference was held for Riho, Shoko Nakajima, Suzume and Arisu Endo to talk about their match. The Twin Cam Monsters are looking forward to teaming together again and to do so in a big venue. Suzume faced against that team in her debut match back in 2019. She has gotten a lot of experience since then but understands it is nothing compared to the experience levels Riho & Nakajima are at. Suzume was also the opponent for Endo’s debut match so she thinks they have the chemistry to make a good team. Nakajima doesn’t expect to lose but predicts Suzume & Endo can overtake the Twin Cam Monsters in the future. Riho also said she is looking forward to the main event because she hasn’t seen Maki Itoh since they wrestled each other in AEW.

Yuki Kamifuku & Asuka have named their team VENYU.

It’s up to Yasushi Kanda to protect Nagano from Pheromones!

DDT “GET ALIVE 2021”, 12/10/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Saki Akai Vs Riko Kawahata
1. Yuki Ishida Debut Match: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Yuki Ishida
2. KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles: Yoshiaki Yatsu, Akito, Hiroshi Yamato & Keigo Nakamura (c) Vs Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada, Mizuki Watase & Hideki Okatani
3. DDT Extreme Title: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs Yumiko Hotta
4. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura
5. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Minoru Fujita

What is next for Daisuke Sasaki? His unit is gone, he declined to enter the D-Ou Grand Prix and he has a DDT Universal Title defence coming up. Apparently he has something up his sleeve. It might just be more drink and depression though.

After an emotional weekend, Konosuke Takeshita wants to see a bright future while he holds both the KO-D Openweight Title and KO-D Tag Team Titles. His motivations for defending the KO-D Title on his own is different from defending the KO-D Tag Titles with Shunma Katsumata. He wants to pursue many different possibilities while being a double champion.

Yumiko Hotta pinned Shinya Aoki with the help of a steel chain during yesterday’s pre-show match. She challenged him for the DDT Extreme Title afterwards. Aoki wanted the match to take place at a RIZIN show because they both fought there in the past. They have to settle for DDT instead.

Hotta’s disciple Riko Kawahata approached Sanshiro Takagi asking to wrestle on a DDT show. Hotta was displeased to see her student go out of line this way but Takagi decided to give her a chance. After watching footage of Kawahata in action, Takagi thinks she has great potential so he is booking her to fight Saki Akai. Hotta had a change of heart after Takagi explained that Kawahata’s behavior is very All Japan Women’s like. She understands his point and is now supporting Kawahata’s decision to enter DDT. Takagi is hoping for the match to be successful in order to promote more joshi matches in DDT.

DDT has decided to rename the Under Match to the Dark Match. They originally started calling the pre-show bouts the Dark Match but at some point switched to Under Match for reasons nobody can remember. So they’re going back to calling it the Dark Match.

DDT “DDTEEEEN!!”, 27/10/2021
Shinjuku FACE

1. Vent Vert Jack Vs You-sei☆Estrella
2. El Unicorn Vs Ilusion

The youngster project now called DDTeeeen!! holds its first show with all four students taking part. El Unicorn and Ilusion are quickly establishing a rivalry together but the other two wrestlers are also familiar with each other. Vent Vert Jack and You-sei☆Estrella are both 16 years old and are from the MY WAY promotion in Kyushu. Jack is 16cm tall, weighs 61kg and once held the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title at 9 years old. Estrella is 173cm tall, weighs 66kg and is a month younger than Jack. They both had their debut match against each other in 2012.

DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2021 II IN OTA-KU”, 03/11/2021
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Special Tag Match: Saki Akai & Masahiro Takanashi Vs Chihiro Hashimoto & Yukio Naya
2. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles – Decision Match: Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Yusuke Okada & X
3. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – B Block: HARASHIMA Vs Kazusada Higuchi
4. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – B Block: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Yuji Okabayashi
5. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – A Block: Tetsuya Endo Vs Yuji Hino
6. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – A Block: Jun Akiyama Vs Yuki Ueno

The opening day matches of the D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II have been announced. Takeshita meets Yuji Okabayashi for the first time since he won the KO-D Tag Titles from him. Since he is entering the tournament as the champion, Takeshita wants to fight every match as if it is a title match. That means he cannot stand to lose even one match.

I’ll have a proper D-Ou Grand Prix post written up when the full schedule is revealed.

The ultimate fate of DDT is possibly on the line if Pheromones win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles.

If they lose then Takagi cannot order Pheromones to stop their bad behavior.
