May 1, 2026

DDT “LET’S GO FOR 5 X 1 DDT!” 2026, 01/05/2026
Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Single Match: Hideki Okatani defeated Viento Maligno with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (8:28).
2. Danshoku Dieno & Yukio Naya defeated Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida when Naya pinned Ishida with La Magistral Cradle (10:03).
3. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Tomoya, Noriyuki Yoshida, Kazuki Hirata & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Akito, Antonio Honda, Junta Miyawaki & Hinata Kasai when Yoshida pinned Kasai with the Authorized Lightning Leg Lariat (10:13).
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Kumadori when Katsumata pinned Kumadori with the Totonou Splash (15:43).
5. MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Jun Akiyama & Masami Inahata when KANON pinned Inahata with the GURU-GURU Driver (11:48).
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) defeated Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul when HARASHIMA pinned Paul with the Swan Dive Somato (15:09).
*V1 for FANTÔMES DRAMATIC.

Daisuke Sasaki returned from his American expedition already getting a title match, teaming up with MJ Paul to challenge FANTÔMES DRAMATIC for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Paul stepped in to replace the injured Ilusion for the match but this was not an uplifting story of one friend helping out another. DAMNATION T.A were there to cause whatever trouble they could. Sasaki & Paul attacked Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA with chairs while Hideki Okatani found openings to interfere in the match too. However Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai evened the odds, allowing HARASHIMA to land the Somato on Paul. That by itself wasn’t enough to put the big man down so HARASHIMA jumped off the ropes to do the Swan Dive Somato on Paul to get the victory. Sasaki blamed the loss on his “leader” Ilusion being missing and also from being tired after taking a long flight home from America. He also complained about immediately being given a title shot for his first match back when he couldn’t get prepared for it.

Kumadori is learning how things aren’t always going to go his way in wrestling. He hyped up his first appearance in Sapporo only to be pinned by Shunma Katsumata in a tag match. Katsumata rubbed salt in the wounds a little bit by giving him the NeppaWER!! pose instead of a handshake after the match.

Not sure if I wrote about this before. The reason why Noriyuki Yoshida’s finisher is called the Authorized Lightning Leg Lariat is because he got Kengo Kimura’s permission to use the move.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “PURE TOKYO JOSHI PRO WRESTLING 10” Results

April 29, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE UNIVERSE MEMBERS ONLY SHOW – PURE TOKYO JOSHI PRO WRESTLING 10”, 29/04/2026
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
220 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

2. Toga-kun Showdown 3 Way Match: Toga defeated Rika Tatsumi and Ren Konatsu by Double Countout (9:50).
3. 5-Woman Superstar Time-Lag Rumble: The Mahirock defeated John Shino with a Sleeper Hold (14:42).

4. Academic & Athletic Match: Miu Watanabe & Chika Nanase (2) defeated Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro (1).
5. Indian Poker Match: Hyper Misao defeated Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima and Yuki Aino.
5a. Shoko Nakajima was Disqualified for doing the Dragon Ring In.
5b. Yuki Aino was Disqualified for doing the Shoulder Tackle.
5c. Miyu Yamashita was Disqualified for doing the Skull Kick.
6. Costume Change Match: Yuki Arai, Mizuki, Yuki Kamifuku & Raku defeated Suzume, Pom Harajuku, HIMAWARI & Uta Takami when Arai submitted Takami with the Scorpion Death Lock (17:30).

For the tenth time in the company’s history, Tokyo Joshi Pro held a fan club only show opened to members of Wrestle Universe. Matches on these kind of shows go in weird directions and often have uncommon stipulations added to them. The big match to happen on these shows is the Costume Change match where every wrestler involved shows up in another wrestler’s costume. This mix and match included the nicknames being altered for the ocassion. We got Yuki Arai dressed as HIMAWARI (“Genius Cheeky Chap”), Mizuki dressed as Suzume (“Vivid Sugar Custard”), Yuki Kamifuku dressed as Raku (“Up Up Girls (Tall)”), Raku dressed as Yuki Aino (“Sleeping Venus”), Suzume dressed as Mahiro Kiryu (“Passion Blue Mustard”), Pom Harajuku dressed as Toga (“Colorful Snow Crystal”), HIMAWARI dressed as Mifu Ashida (“Rampaging Flower Girl”) and Uta Takami dressed as Mizuki (“Popping Ice Rabbit”). Everyone tried to copy the wrestler they were dressed as but the match ended with Arai using her own moveset to beat Takami. After the match Arai said she has memorized the faces of every Wrestle Universe subscriber in attendance and she wants them to stay members for life.

The Indian Poker match began with every contestant being handed a random card. They were allowed a brief moment to trade the cards with each other without looking and then show everyone the cards without looking at their own. The rule was if a wrestler performed the action that was written on their card, they would be Disqualified. Shoko Nakajima was quickly eliminated when she did the Dragon Ring In, which her card banned her from doing. With every elimination, the remaining wrestlers were given more cards with banned actions on them. Yuki Aino was next to go when she did a Double Shoulder Tackle on the other opponents, which she wasn’t allowed to do. With Miyu Yamashita and Hyper Misao as the last two left, they agonized over trying to figure out which of their moves were banned. Yamashita nailed Misao with the Skull Kick but that turned out to be illegal so Misao won despite getting almost knocked out.

One Count pinfalls were used for the Academic & Athletic Match. When a pin happened, the wrestler was then asked an educational question. The first team to get two questions correct would win the match. Unfortunately the four participants are not the most school smart of wrestlers on the TJPW roster so a lot of questions were answered incorrectly. Miu Watanabe was finally able to get one right by calling Hokkaido the largest prefecture in Japan while Haru Kazashiro evened the score by identifying that red blood cells are what carries oxygen throughout the body. Arisu Endo got several chances at answering questions but kept getting them wrong. Chika Nanase got the winning point when she said photosyntesis is the name of the process by which plants use light to produce nutrients.

A bunch of TJPW wrestlers turned into “Superstars” for one day by impersonating different WWE gimmicks during a Rumble match. Kira Summer entered first as Rhea Ripley and started the match off against Shino Suzuki as John Cena. The next entrant was Mahiro Kiryu fully committed to dressing up like The Rock, padded muscle suit and all. The lights in the room then went out as Mifu Ashida made her entrance as The Undertaker (with Fumirin joining her impersonating Paul Bearer). The last entrant was Wakana Uehara going full on Shinsuke Nakamura. Eliminations then happened one after the other and the match ended with Kiryu putting Suzuki in a Sleeper Hold. Suzuki gave a big smile just like Cena did before tapping out.

Toga had to fight off two admirers in a 3 Way Match. Rika Tatsumi and Ren Konatsu wanted to fight over who liked Toga more with Tatsumi claiming she is Toga’s godmother while Konatsu tried to bribe her with bread. Then when they fought each other they kept each asking Toga to come rescue them. Tatsumi soon got fed up and asked Toga who would she choose. When Toga didn’t answer, she was pushed into Fumirin who all of a sudden started to fall for her too. Toga ran out of the ring and was chased by Tatsumi and Konatsu while Fumirin started the 20 count. Tatsumi and Konatsu spent too much time arguing with each other outside, allowing Toga to get into the ring before 20 and win the match by Double Countout. Toga then patted Fumirin on the head after the match.

The opening bout between Sakura Hattori and Shion Kanzaki was a normal match with nothing unusual happening at all. Hattori continues to use her Shoulder Lock submission to rack up wins.

The silliness of the show started at the very beginning when Fumirin gave some pre-show announcements while talking in a Kansai dialect. A surprise musical performance then happened with Rise Shirai singing the Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger theme song for everybody.


DDT “ECHIGO LARIAT” Results

April 29, 2026

DDT “ECHIGO LARIAT”, 29/04/2026
Niigata Higashi Ward Plaza
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida defeated HARASHIMA & Hinata Kasai when Sumi pinned Kasai with the School Boy (7:49).
2. 3 Way Match: Akito defeated Takeshi Masada and Kazuki Hirata when Akito submitted Hirata with an Ankle Lock (10:07).
3. KANON, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Jun Akiyama, Junta Miyawaki, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Masami Inahata when KANON submitted Matsunaga with the Just Cobra Twist (10:43).
4. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul defeated Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda when Paul pinned Honda with the Reverse Splash (10:28).
5. Shunma Katsumata 12th Anniversary Debut Match: Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato when Katsumata pinned Koroku with a Casadora (11:23).
6. Special Tag Match: MAO & Danshoku Dieno defeated Yuki Ueno & Super Sasadango Machine when MAO pinned Sasadango with the Cannonball 450° (19:11).

Wrestling in his hometown meant so much to Super Sasadango Machine that he pulled off his mask midway through the match in reaction to Danshoku Dieno taking off his Dansbhoku tights. However MAO got a replacement mask for Sasadango while Yuki Ueno gave Dieno a spare pair of tights so they just went back to wrestling like they normally would. After the match Ueno volunteered to be part of Sasadango’s team for his upcoming DDT Vs NJPW show against Toru Yano. Sasadango politely declined, explaining that if the KO-D Openweight Champion takes part in the show then New Japan might feel pressured into booking the IWGP Heavyweight Champion and it could turn into a big old hassle. The match between the two companies is not meant to be that grand in scale of importance. Instead, Sasadango asked Dieno to join his team knowing that Yano wouldn’t be able to handle an opponent like him. Dieno turned him down because his focus for now is entirely on winning the King Of DDT tournament.

The semi-main event was turned into a 12th Anniversary celebration of Shunma Katsumata’s debut match on short notice. Everyone in the match marked the occassion by doing something twelve times in a row to Katsumata. Daichi Sato kicked him twelve times in a row, To-y chopped him twelve times in a row and Yuya Koroku shouted “Give it your all!” to him twelve times in a row.

Antonio Honda painted his face to look like MJ Paul as a form of mind games against the DAMNATION T.A wrestler. Paul got the last laugh by beating Honda in the tag match and showing off his strong form as he heads towards the KO-D Tag Team Titles match.

5. Utami Hayashihita defeated YuuRI with the Crusade (13:22).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi defeated Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) when Wada pinned Imanari with the Assault Point (13:46).
*Touchable fails in V3. Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi become the 6th Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Champions!
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Keisuke Ishii with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (22:07).
*V2 for Mizuki Watase.

In a rematch from three years ago, Mizuki Watase again defeated Keisuke Ishii to defend the Spirit Of Ganbare World. He was lucky to get out of there in one piece though. The match took so much out of both champion and challenger that Watase needed help being walked to the back afterwards. He felt fulfilled none the less, saying there is nothing in the world with the kind of nourishment that pro wrestling has. He is determined to turn Ganbare☆Pro into a huge wrestling company and lead the way. He also said he loves Ishii and believes today should put away any thoughts Ishii has of retiring from wrestling. Ishii said he felt annoyed over losing yet another Korakuen Hall main event. However he could feel his confidence growing throughout the match and will fight Watase head to head again some day. He promised to work hard to get into the condition needed to not only headline Korakuen Hall but win a main event there too after eight failed times at trying.

The Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles changed hands with two former champions now regaining the gold. Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi both held the belts before but with different partners. Today they defeated Touchable after a few close calls. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga almost had Maeguchi taken care of with the 3D. Imanari then hit Wada with the Lariat and Power Bomb but he kicked out from both moves. Wada turned things around and used the Assault Point to pin Imanari for the title change.

Last week Utami Hayashihita caused a stir when she announced she will be leaving her home promotion Marigold next month. Today was her first match since dropping that bombshell, facing YuuRI and beating her with the Crusade (Spinning Razor’s Edge Bomb). Hayashihita told reporters backstage that she is friends with YuuRI and they often drink together. She enjoyed the warm atmosphere of GanPro and is happy to see YuuRI grow in this environment. She compared the GanPro atmosphere to being surrounded by a big family, and she should know what that is like! When asked if she would ever come back here, Hayashihita said she isn’t thinking about the future at the moment, she’s living her present life to the fullest. YuuRI thinks Hayashihita has already decided on where she is going to go next and doesn’t know if they will ever be able to have another singles match together again. She will seize the chance if they can.

Akira Shoji & Hideki Sekine used the music of Pride Fighting Championship theme for their entrance and also their victory themes. When Minoru Suzuki & Shuichiro Katsumura attacked them with chairs at ringside, Suzuki mocked them by asking “What kind of Pride is this, you bastard?” Shoji got the win by using a Modified Jackhammer on Katsumura that he later named the Toyama Black Driver or TBD for short. Sekine said he and Shoji are the strongest pro wrestlers because they are both 52 years old and were born during the peak of Japan’s baby boom. The two of them are also carrying the legacies of Pride and RIZIN and think they can chase after the SOG Tag Titles next.

Ken Ohka cannot believe it’s been 25 years since his debut. He had his first match in the same year when Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motojima were all born! He doesn’t know what he can realistically contribute to society but he hopes his wrestling can play a part in bringing peace to Japan and across the world. He fought as hard as he could with Guts Ishijima against Ryota Nakatsu & Masaaki Mochizuki but was ultimately rolled up into defeat on this day.

The match between Moeka Haruhi and Ram Kaichow was put together because the two of them both debuted in 2005. Haruhi tried winning by going for roll ups and other cradle moves but Kaichow caught her with the Onryo Clutch to get the three count instead.

In the leadup to the opening match, Nakamura revealed that he would avoid using Suplex type moves because he was coming back from a herniated cervical disc. He lived up to his word but the victory still went to the outsider team of PSYCHO, Choun Shiryu & Yuya Susumu.

Yuna Manase attended the show and gave reporters an update to her current health. She is still recovering from getting surgery on her collarbone two months ago because the bone has not fully healed yet. However her doctor noticed an abnormality in her blood tests and after getting an MRI, it was discovered that Manase has swelling in her ovaries. According to her doctor, the ovaries swelled up to five times the normal size and it was a miracle they did not burst while Manase was wrestling. She is currently waiting on the official diagnosis but she is under the impression that she will need to get another operation done soon. She told this to the reporters in order to get the message across about how important it is to regularly get health checkups. She hopes she can be fully recovered in time for GanPro’s next Korakuen show but it will likely take several more months before she can return to the ring.

5. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Hideki Okatani, Minoru Fujita & MJ Paul defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Hinata Kasai when Okatani pinned Kasai with the Skewer-Style Claymore (12:47).
6. paleyouth Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku when To-y pinned Masada with a Frankensteiner (16:53).

Recently Takeshi Masada stuck two of his fingers into To-y’s mouth during a match, causing To-y to gag uncontrollably. Since then Masada has been playing mind games with To-y by sticking his two fingers near his face to make him flinch some more. Shunma Katsumata sacrificed himself by stepping in the way, causing Masada’s fingers to stick into his mouth instead. It was a successful distraction that allowed To-y to pin Masada with a Frankensteiner. He then bragged about how healthy his throat is because he was able to protect himself. Now he is no longer afraid of Masada’s fingers and is ready to fight him at King Of DDT next month. He later noticed how much Katsumata was gagging and promised to get revenge on Masada for him. While all of that is going on, Yuya Koroku is staying focused on wrestling Hideki Okatani next month both in the tournament and in a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match.

With Daisuke Sasaki still abroad and Ilusion out injured, DAMNATION T.A called upon their former member Minoru Fujita to help fill their ranks on short notice. Also Okatani stepped up to more of a leadership role and sent a message to the absent members that he will win the King Of DDT for them, He told Sasaki to enjoy the rest of his stay in America and Ilusion to get better so he can come back and get revenge on Chris Brookes for hurting him. HARASHIMA was reminded from today’s match how dangerous MJ Paul can be and learned to be careful of him for the upcoming KO-D Tag Team Titles match.

Yuki Ueno praised both Daichi Sato & Masami Inahata after their match and encouraged the both of them to get stronger. Inahata declared that some day he will crush Ueno!

The Totsugeki Love Heart is a Choke Slam/Crucifix Pin combo used together by Yukio Naya & MAO. With King Of DDT coming up, MAO reminded Kazuma Sumi who it was that made the DDT Universal Title valuable in the first place. MAO thinks Sumi will have to surprise him in order to beat him.

The big news regarding King Of DDT coming out of today’s show is the big draw will no longer be taking part! Kaisei Takechi was recently diagnosed with an acute appendicitis and had to pull out of the tournament. This was announced at the start of the show and DDT promised to announce his replacement as soon as it was decided on. Then at the end of the show Hisaya Imabayashi revealed that Kazuki Hirata is taking Takechi’s spot! Hirata said he was about to go on holiday to Okinawa tomorrow and was angry about the news but then he thought about all of the people who are upset over the cancellation of Takechi versus Danshoku Dieno, those two in particular being the most disappointed of all. Hirata knows how difficult it will be for him to just get out of Round 1 but if he beats Dieno, he wants Takechi to promise him they can take a picture together of them wearing their entrance robes.

1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, MAO & Sayaka defeated Mr. Bueno, Mr. Malo & Ram Kaichow when Brookes pinned Malo with a Somato (17:56).

The fashion magazine NYLON JAPAN held a party inside the Kabukicho Tower to celebrate its 22nd Anniversary. Among all the DJs and idol bands performing on stage, Baka Gaijin + Friends was invited to hold a no ring wrestling match in the venue. Ram Kaichow got to DJ her own set before the match. She and MAO also got to do stage dives onto their opponents. Sayaka was used as the top piece of the Schadenfreude Tower spot. Mr. Bueno fell victim to the rubber band spot that stretch from the middle of the room right up to the stage. Chris Brookes got busted open when MAO accidentally smashed a plastic box over his head. He took more damage when Kaichow Choke Slammed him onto more boxes. However Brookes recovered to sprint across the room and hit Mr. Malo with the Somato, pinning him to end the match.

1. Sakura Hattori defeated Kira Summer with the Shinden Fudo Ryu Majime Ura (8:25).
2. Mahiro Kiryu, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki defeated Raku, Pom Harajuku & Mifu Ashida when Kiryu pinned Ashida with the Spinebuster (12:21).
3. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Chika Nanase when Kamifuku pinned Nanase with the Famouser (7:30).
4. Mizuki & Uta Takami defeated Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki when Mizuki submitted Kanzaki with the Southern Cross (10:43).
5. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Wakana Uehara & Toga when Watanabe pinned Toga after the Daydream Eternity (14:17).
6. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Yuki Arai & Haru Kazashiro when Suzume pinned Kazashiro with the Ring A Bell (15:26).

The main event was a preview of what is coming up in 10 days time. The champions and challengers for the Princess Of Princess Title match and International Princess Title match. It was also a chance for Daisy Monkey to catch up with each other as a tag team again. While Arisu Endo kept Yuki Arai on her toes, Suzume matches Haru Kazashiro’s athleticism and then some, intercepting one of her Springboard moves into a Facecrusher and later pinning her with the Ring A Bell. After the match Suzume told Endo she wants them both to hold championships again even if this time they are different colours. Endo later said she can see a future where she is the adventurer defeating the final boss to get the treasure. Arai feels strange being called that but if she’s now the main character of Tokyo Joshi Pro then she wants to write a masterpiece as its champion! Kazashiro said she has gained some fighting spirit for her own title match despite losing today.

There is something else Daydream is looking for along with the Princess Tag Team Titles. Both Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe have been a team for a long time now but they never had their own tag team entrance song. So Daydream wants to win the Princess Tag Titles from The IInspiration and then sing their own brand new song.

The Southern Cross that Mizuki used to win her match was more like the Crossface/Labell Lock than the usual Face Lock she puts opponents in.

Some of those who went to Texas brought back some souvenirs to show off to everyone who stayed home. Raku & Pom Harajuku both went into their match wearing the Buc-ee outfits they got in Texas. Mifu Ashida was also dressed head to toe in Buc-ee’s merchandise.

2. Junta Miyawaki Three Match Trial – Match 1: Junta Miyawaki defeated Antonio Honda with a Rolling Cradle Hold Counter (11:11).
3. Special 8-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON, Yuki Iino & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Kazuma Sumi, Kumadori, Rukiya & Hinata Kasai when Iino pinned Kasai with a Lariat (11:38).
4. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & HARASHIMA defeated Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida when Suzuki pinned Ishida with the Gotch-Style Piledriver (13:43).
5. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Shinya Aoki, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku, Daichi Sato & Masami Inahata when Aoki pinned Inahata with the European Clutch (13:15).
6. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes defeated Ilusion with the House Piano Death (18:51).

With just under two weeks to go until the King Of DDT begins, but there is also the KO-D Tag Team Titles match happening before then. With Daisuke Sasaki still in America, Ilusion took it upon himself as the new “leader” of DAMNATION T.A to go fight Chris Brookes. He demanded their match be Falls Count Anywhere and they went on to brawl all over the venue, only to be intimidated back down to the ring by Minoru Suzuki for getting in his way backstage. Ilusion put Brookes through a table with the Coffin Drop but then crashed through a pile of chairs when he missed the Swanton Bomb from the stage. Brookes took him back to the ring and twisted him into submission to win the match. He admitted that Ilusion has gotten stronger since the last time they had a singles match against each other two years ago. Ilusion thanked Brookes for fighting him today but promised to get revenge on him thousands of times over by winning the KO-D Tag Titles on 1st May.

Suzuki got to survey some of the field by fighting with HARASHIMA against Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida. He will be facing Naya in the first round and mocked him before the show by calling him a clumsy flop when he originally debuted. Naya retaliated by saying he is putting his entire body on the line to become DDT’s best heavyweight. Suzuki’s response to that is that wrestling is about more than just size. He has travelled the world barefoot and understands that size by itself does not give wrestlers an advantage or disadvantage. He went on to show that off today by using the Sleeper Hold on both Naya and Ishida, giving both wrestlers a similar experience before he pinned Ishida with the Gotch-Style Piledriver.

A three match journey has been given to Junta Miyawaki for him to truly understand what DDT is during his stay here. First up he fought Antonio Honda and the two agreed to have a fair fight. Miyawaki put his best foot forward by constantly saving Honda from falling over and injuring himself. However it came at a cost of Miyawaki injuring his own knees instead. Honda encouraged him by getting Miyawaki to join in on the Gongitsune joke before attacking him by the knees. Miyawaki was able to kick out of the Tenzan Tombstone Driver and block Honda’s Rolling Cradle to win the match by the skin of his teeth. He was then told by Hisaya Imabayashi that the second match in his trial will be against Kazuki Hirata on 3rd June.
