5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shota Kawakami when Tsukamoto pinned Kawakami with the Zudon (14:40).
*V1 for Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto.
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura ended in a Double Knockout (17:45).
*V1 for Masaaki Mochizuki.

For the first time in the young history of this championship, a Spirit Of Ganbare World Title match ended in a draw. Both Masaaki Mochizuki and Shuichiro Katsumura ended beating each other up to the point where neither of them could answer a ten count from the referee. Mochizuki still had the strength to speak after the match and he admitted Katsumura was better than he expected. He told the rest of the Ganbare☆Pro roster they should be proud of him and then asked if anyone else in the group could handle the kind of match these two old men just had? Ken Ohka praised Katsumura for working so hard and suggested to the others it will be up to them to convince GanPro who should be the next challenger. Katsumura later tweeted that at the age of 49, the last goal he needs to achieve before he turns 50 is to beat Mochizuki!

Ohka also showered praise for Shota Kawakami after his attempt to win the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles with Keisuke Ishii ended in failure. Ohka then decided he will be next to challenge Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto for the belts. When the BASARA team pointed out that would make it a 2-on-1 match, Ohka revealed that his partner will be Choun Shiryu! The match will happen at Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 9th November. The champions claim that place is BASARA’s main venue so they will have the home field advantage. Ohka disagrees because he and Shiryu combined have wrestled three times as many matches there than Nakatsu & Tsukamoto have!

In a few days time GanPro will be facing FREEDOMS in “The Battle Of Shin-Kiba” so wrestlers on the GanPro side fought each other to prepare themselves. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga won against Yuna Manase & YuuRI but the loss only fired up the Ganbare☆Joshi pair even more. Manase asked Imanari after the match to train with her for the next three days before the show takes place. Imanari said GanPro has been around for men and women since the start and it will be better to motivate each other in the ring instead of just talking about it.

The end of the show was suddenly crashed by Toru Sugiura and Tomoya Hirata from FREEDOMS. They came out telling GanPro that their end is coming on 16th October! They also started bullying a GanPro staff member known to everyone at the shows as Nobita. However it turns out that Nobita was originally a trainee in SMASH and also made his pro wrestling debut in 2014 with Asuka Project under the name Takahiro Nakayama until health problems ended his career before it ever got going. Imanari & Manase warned the FREEDOMS side that Nobita is GanPro’s secret weapon in the rivalry and he will be their second at ringside when Imanari & Manase take on Sugiura & Takashi Sasaki.

Tokyo Machida Rembrandt Hotel Sango Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Ilusion defeated Hinata Kasai with a Modified Dragon Sleeper (8:10).
2. Kazuki Hirata “Second Match Triumphant Return” Series Vol. 2: Jun Akiyama & Naomi Yoshimura defeated Kazuki Hirata & Soma Takao when Yoshimura pinned Hirata with a Short-Range Lariat (10:39).

5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada defeated MAO, KANON & Kazuma Sumi (w/ KIMIHIRO) when Honda pinned Sumi with a Japanese Leg Roll Clutch (15:55).
6. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku when Ueno pinned Koroku with the Jul.2 (19:49).

Things went better for The 37KAMIINA today without Minoru Suzuki around to make their lives miserable. Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku in a preview of the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match. Koroku in particular became a target for Ueno & To-y both during and after the match. They said Koroku won’t be able to beat The 37KAMIINA if he’s just going to hide behind Suzuki. HARASHIMA however thinks his teamwork with Koroku today was impressive even though they lost. Koroku thinks it would be best if he targets the least experienced wrestler in the title match. He warns Kaisei Takechi that he is coming to take his title belt!

With Yuki Ishida fit and healthy to wrestle again, The Apex and Harimao were able to sign the contract for next week’s KO-D Tag Team Titles match. The challengers spoke first with Kazusada Higuchi reminding The Apex he wants to feel their weight as champions and give it their all. Ishida said there is a frustration building up inside him because Harimao is this unit of strong wrestlers but he has been holding them back. He is going to take those frustrations out on Yukio Naya in particular so Harimao can win the titles and move on up. Naya said he is determined to crush Ishida while Yuki Iino has been training his neck and head every day to combat against Higuchi’s Claw moves. He also disputed Higuchi’s opinion because he is well aware of how important the KO-D Tag Titles are, given that he had already held it once previously. Later on in the show The Apex crushed Ishida in a tag match, prompting Higuchi to give his prone partner a pep talk in the ring.

The hotel created a birthday cake for Jun Akiyama and Takeshi Masada to share with each other since their birthdays both recently happened this month.

4. Miyu Yamashita defeated Mahiro Kiryu by Countout (12:12).
5. Mizuki, Suzume & Yuki Arai defeated Hyper Misao, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Mizuki pinned Harajuku with the Cutie Special (9:55).
6. Shoko Nakajima & Alice Crowley defeated Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro when Crowley pinned Kazashiro with a Swinging Side Slam (10:04).
7. Yuki Aino, Yuna Manase & Toga defeated Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara when Toga pinned Uehara with the Rock Bottom (16:37).

Things aren’t settled yet between Miu Watanabe and Yuki Aino but the main event saw Hot Shot getting one over on Ober Eats instead. Yuna Manase blocked a Double Flapjack to give Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara a Double Clothesline. Toga was then able to hit Uehara with the Elbow Smash before pinning her with the Rock Bottom. After the match Manase told Toga that she won a match right in the heart of Tokyo Joshi Pro. She also thinks Aino is ready to win the Princess Of Princess Title from Watanabe. Aino agreed and said she couldn’t have asked for a better warm up match. Toga believes the three of them all have the passion to win championships at Korakuen Hall next weekend! It was Kamifuku’s first time wrestling Manase in a while and she said Manase is as big and energetic as ever. Kamifuku tried to be more like Ken Ohka in order to beat her but that plan didn’t work so she is going to file a complaint towards Ganbare☆Pro. Watanabe then asked if Aino’s hot performance today means that “Miuderella’s Castle” has been set on fire? According to her the castle park has a pond in it so she has water needed to extinguish that fire.

Today was Alice Crowley’s first appearance in Japan as part of the build up to her International Princess Title challenge. There was a contract signing at the start of the show and it was apparent just how much taller “Big Al” is than Arisu Endo. The champion decided to stand on a chair to show everyone that she is the bigger Alice. Then later in the show when it was time for their Tag Match, Crowley immediately attacked Endo and they fought each other for most of it. Shoko Nakajima ended up wiping out Endo with a dive while Crowley caught a dive from Haru Kazashiro. Crowley then turned that into a Swinging Side Slam for the three count. She later said the only reason she came to Japan is to take the IP Title from Endo although she does like the welcoming atmosphere of TJPW. Endo also made it clear she doesn’t like being called tiny because she has a big presence!

Mahiro Kiryu was in the fight of her life with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title on the line. Miyu Yamashita gave her a one-sided beatdown early that made Kiryu rethink her gameplan. She fled out of the ring twice, once getting thrown back in and the other making Yamashita chase her up to the aisle. Up there Kiryu grabbed the folder containing the contract that Endo and Crowley signed earlier in the show and she hit Yamashita with it. Rise Shirai then tried to grab the folder but Kiryu pulled it away and tripped over Yamashita, landing her back with the folder falling on top of her. Fumirin (who wasn’t the ref for this match) then suddenly appeared to count a pinfall and declare the International Princess Championship Match Signing Document as the new champion! Kiryu and Yamashita then fought over the contract until they were reminded of the 20 count. They both ran back to the ring but only Yamashita made it in time while Kiryu was counted out. Kiryu then tried to pin the contract after the match until Yamashita chased her away.

There were more Iron Man Title changes after the show. Shirai placed her binder on top of the contract and left it alone. Fumirin found it and decided to count the pin, declaring Rise Shirai’s Binder as the new champion! Then even later somebody placed a drink on top of the binder and Fumirin again treated it as a pinfall, declaring the Double Vitamin Drink as the new champion. This then led to a battle of endurance as Kiryu grabbed the bottle and attempted to drink it empty as quickly as she could. She finished the drink without interruption and was rewarded with the Iron Man Title again for her knockout effort.

Things are suddenly looking up for Shino Suzuki! She won her tag match today by whipping out a new Modified Cobra Clutch that made Mifu Ashida submit. After the victory Suzuki told HIMAWARI she wants to support their classmates Uehara and Toga while they fight for the Princess Tag Team Titles at Korakuen next week. However she is also frustrated over feeling left out of the title race so she wants to challenge the winners for the belts with HIMAWARI as her partner! HIMAWARI said she feels the same way and took up Suzuki on her offer. She is happy to see how much confidence Suzuki is showing lately.

We now have our first finalist in the Next Generation Tournament as well as the first full elimination. Uta Takami is on a roll with using the Koala Clutch to win matches with Kira Summer becoming the latest victim to the move. Meanwhile Chika Nanase had her first gasp at survival by beating Ren Konatsu to knock her out of the tournament. This now means Summer and Nanase will face each other again with an elimination on the line while Takami waits for the winner in the final. Takami said she will win the tournament and prove that she is beloved by the gods of pro wrestling. Nanase admits she didn’t expect her rematch with Summer to happen this soon. Konatsu felt like she was able to find her own wrestling style during this tournament even though she lost both of her matches. If the tournament is held again next year she wants to enter it, run through every opponent like a typhoon and win it with style.

1e. FINAL MUCHA: Taiji Ishimori defeated Gedo with the Bloody Cross (7:11).

Okay, I’m used to writing about weird matches like this one. I should be able to figure this out. Man, New Japan has gotten weird lately…

After putting together a successful show last November where he took part in every single match on the card, Taiji Ishimori learned he had to go take on an even greater challenge put together by a mysterious AI that is out to get him for reasons I do not want to spend time learning about. He was being forced to take part in a 120 minute long Iron Man Rumble with four separate blocks of wrestlers to fight through. Ishimori’s goal was to make it through the gauntlet with more wins than losses. His reward for doing so would be a special singles match against a wrestler that he respects. I’ll get to the point here because it’s not DDT related, his final opponent was Gedo and he beat him.

Along the way, a few DDT wrestlers were among the random cast of wrestlers Ishimori had to fight and interact with. The first main path was the SECRET BLOCK made up of wrestlers who have appeared in commercials for the show sponsor in the past. That just so happens to include Jun Akiyama as the block’s final entrant. He didn’t understand what was going on and he was also immediately attacked by Dump Matsumoto. Ishimori was allowed to have reserve wrestlers temporarily take his place but The Brahman Brothers did a bad job in that role, piling up losses on his behalf. However they were able to knock Akiyama out of the ring to score a point before Ishimori moved on to the next block.

The second block was built around the Tohoku wrestling scene which meant Ishimori had to deal with wrestlers from Michinoku Pro as well as other wrestlers from the area. At this point Ishimori was also reminded of The Sailor Boys which caused him great mental harm. Things became a lot more calm when Ishimori and the Tohoku wrestlers all meditated inside the ring but MAO then entered the match to cause some chaos, particularly with TAKA Michinoku (who is from Chiba and didn’t appreciate being lumped in with the country bumpkins). When the block’s time expired, MAO and YOH had not been through any eliminations so they were allowed to advance to the next block alongside Ishimori.

Things became a lot more muscular next with the MUSCLE BLOCK. None of the new entries were from DDT but MAO was still there and with YOH’s help he ran over SHO at ringside with the Dramatic Dream bike! He also helped out Ishimori by eliminated Drilla Moloney before the time expired. The two posed their bodies like squares to celebrate and since MAO survived elimination again, he got to accompany Ishimori once more this time into the final block.

It was the DRAGON BLOCK where at first the wrestlers coming out were all from Dragon Gate. MAO’s luck ran out when Shun Skywalker eliminated him from the match. The block then switched things around when Ryuji Ito showed up (because he is the “Death Match Dragon”) followed by Tatsumi Fujinami! The last dragon to enter was the most important one. People expected it to be Ultimo Dragon but it was even better than him. It was Hiratimo Dragon! He was immediately beaten up by Ishimori and Dragon Dia. Hiratimo distracted the referee by telling him Danshoku Dieno was behind him, then he tried to frame Ishimori for pulling off his mask. The plan didn’t work, Ishimori threw the mask away and then he threw Hiratimo out of the ring. Backstage Hiratimo said it was a close call but his identity wasn’t revealed. All he has to say to Ishimori is that he’s gotten stronger.

GLEAT “VER.EX ~GLEAT VS KYOTEKI~”, 09/10/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
682 Fans

3. G PRO WRESTLING ~ GLEAT Vs X – Go Miyake’s Return Match: Yukio Naya defeated Go Miyake with a Choke Slam (2:41).
5. G PRO WRESTLING ~ GLEAT Vs DDT: Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani defeated Takehiro Yamamura & Junjie when Sasaki submitted Junjie with the Crossface Lock (11:51).
6. G PRO WRESTLING ~ GLEAT Vs Shinya Aoki: Shinya Aoki defeated T-Hawk with the Aoki Clutch (8:41).

Now let’s move on to a place that has only slightly less nonsensical ideas than Ishimori. GLEAT came to Korakuen Hall a few days later putting together a show themed around the promotion taking on strong opponents from around the wrestling scene. DDT provided a few wrestlers on the “Strong Opponent” front. Things behind the scenes seem to be a little unstable over there but that has nothing to do with the DDT stuff so let’s just focus on that.

Shinya Aoki has previously fought in GLEAT under their UWF Rules banner of matches and continues to hover near the company under his own volition. He got to do a pro wrestling match here for the first time because he was intrigued by the clash of styles he would have with T-Hawk. Aoki took the nasty Chops his opponent has a habit of throwing and ended up catching him in the Aoki Clutch to get the three count out of nowhere. He said the match was so much fun because they clicked perfectly together.

DDT sent over Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani for a tag match. The GLEAT team was made up of Takehiro Yamamura & Junjie who were previously together as part of a recent unit called G-RIZE. Sasaki & Okatani did not come alone though. Ilusion was there at ringside to interfere whenever it was most convenient for his buddies. The GLEAT team got rid of the nuisance by throwing him out of the ring but DAMNATION T.A kept on pushing forward with their attack until they got their victory. The result left Yamamura & Junjie wanting revenge.

There was also a surprise appearance by Yukio Naya as the opponent for Go Miyake. The GLEAT rookie made his debut last year but suffered a kneecap injury not even two months after his debut. After being gone for a year and a half his return to the ring was going to be against El Lindaman but Lindaman declined to take part. Instead he chose Miyake’s opponent and it turned out to be Naya. Given the low level of experience Miyake has at this point, it only took less than three minutes for Naya to beat him. Afterward Naya said he heard about how hard Miyake was working to reach his comeback and motivated him to do his best.


DDT “RINGU NO AKIBASHO 2025” Results

October 8, 2025

DDT “RINGU NO AKIBASHO 2025”, 08/10/2025
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Single Match: MJ Paul defeated Antonio Honda by submission when Honda was unable to withstand Paul’s weight (7:15).
2. Kazuki Hirata “Second Match Triumphant Return” Series Vol. 1: Akito, Soma Takao, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Kazuma Sumi defeated Kazuki Hirata when Sumi pinned Hirata with the School Boy (9:38).
3. Jun Akiyama defeated Hinata Kasai with a Crab Hold (8:52).
4. Chris Brookes, Shinya Aoki & Takeshi Masada defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion when Masada pinned Ilusion with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (13:17).
5. MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato when MAO submitted Sato with the Rock Killer (14:14).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Ryota Nakatsu & Naomi Yoshimura defeated Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Rukiya when Higuchi pinned Rukiya with the Claw Pin (12:38).
7. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & HARASHIMA defeated Yuki Ueno & To-y when Suzuki pinned To-y with the Gotch-Style Piledriver (20:06).

First blood goes to Minoru Suzuki. We’ve a long way to go until “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025” and there’s another title match to get to even before that but today Suzuki beat The 37KAMIINA with HARASHIMA on his side. Both Yuki Ueno & To-y got their own moments of fighting Suzuki one on one but HARASHIMA was the X Factor making a difference. When both Ueno & To-y climbed the top rope on opposite corners, HARASHIMA blocked Ueno’s Frog Splash with his knees and then jumped up to To-y to hit him with a Knee Strike followed by a Superplex. Suzuki tagged in as the closer and Ueno’s attempts to stop him were taken away by HARASHIMA. To-y made one last desperate stand against Suzuki and all he got out of it was getting pinned with the Gotch-Style Piledriver. After the match Suzuki said Ueno will bow down before him in both of their upcoming title matches. Ueno responded that he is already prepared to beat him at Sumo Hall. Suzuki was left annoyed by Ueno and To-y but he’s getting along with HARASHIMA because their goals are currently alligned. HARASHIMA thinks their teamwork is perfect and both of them want to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles.

Yuki Ishida was too ill to wrestle today but the rest of Harimao were able to win their match despite his absence. Kazusada Higuchi scored the pinfall for his team and had a pull apart with both members of The Apex afterwards. Backstage Higuchi claimed Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya were acting too light to be KO-D Tag Team Champions. The championship has a long history and Higuchi has held it several times with many different wrestlers. He wants to add his team with Ishida to that list.

Bunbun learned a harsh lesson in sticking his nose where it might not belong. There’s still a grudge between SCHADENFREUDE International and DAMNATION T.A that makes their matches a dangerous place to be. Bunbun decided to get involved by aiding his stablemates and also jumping in to break a pinfall. However Hideki Okatani then got his hands on him and violently attacked Bunbun with his bamboo stick, including sticking it up where the sun doesn’t shine. Bunbun survived the attack and Shinya Aoki used the stick against DAMNATION T.A, allowing the SCHADENFREUDE to get the win.

A sick bug of some sort is going through the DDT roster. Danshoku Dieno is the latest wrestler to genuinely fall ill before a show which meant his singles match with Hinata Kasai was cancelled. Kasai didn’t find out who is new opponent was until the start of the show when it was announced to be Jun Akiyama! The rookie had his attacks shrugged off and he was then put away with a Piledriver followed by a Crab Hold that made him tap out. Kasai said the result clearly shows how inexperienced he is but on the bright side that means there is room for improvement. Akiyama said this match was fate because he only just met with Jun Kasai at a New Japan show the day before (that’s a sentence I thought I would never write). Akiyama was told by Jun to help take care of Hinata and then later Akiyama found out DDT was putting this match together on short notice.

The bug also caused Kazuki Hirata’s triumphant return to the second match of the card to be changed. He now had to fight everyone else by himself when the other wrestlers all decided to team up against him! He tried to find fans in the audience to help him even up the numbers until he was dragged back into the ring to continue the match. Gradually he found ways to get some of his opponents to join his side. He convinced Soma Takao to join him after threatening to cancel all of his appearances at the Drop Kick Bar. He won over Akito by promising to work for the next three months without pay. He tried to bribe Tomomitsu Matsunaga with 1,000 yen but Matsunaga refused. Hirata then offered 3,000 yen and this time Matsunaga accepted, leaving Kazuma Sumi on his own to fight everyone else! Hirata and his new allies all wore Hirata GO! glasses to power up but missed their final attack, colliding with each other. Sumi then picked them off one by one until he pinned Hirata with the School Boy.

Sumi also had a mini NωA Jr. performance with Shunma Katsumata at the start of the show. Yuni is still absent so he can focus on his education.

At the end of the show another wrestler threw their name into the DDT Extreme Title match happening at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025”. So far all of To-y’s opponents made their challenge on social media but Antonio Honda got on the microphone after the show and spoke a haiku about wanting to be in the match. He claims the haiku is a type of social media you can use face-to-face with other people. To-y accepted his challenge which means his title defence is now going to be a 5 Way Match.


DDT “ECHIGO CHIN CRUSHER” Results

October 5, 2025

DDT “ECHIGO CHIN CRUSHER”, 05/10/2025
Niigata Higashi Ward Plaza
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Single Match: To-y defeated Ilusion with the Kojima Impact (8:32).
2. 3 Way Match: Yuki Iino defeated Kazuki Hirata and Naomi Yoshimura when Iino submitted Hirata with the Argentine Backbreaker (9:53).
3. Yukio Naya, Akito & Yuya Koroku defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul when Akito submitted Paul with a Figure 4 Leg Lock (11:46).
4. Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & HARASHIMA defeated Jun Akiyama & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Higuchi pinned Matsunaga with the Claw Slam (10:33).
5. Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada defeated Yuki Ueno & Kazuma Sumi when Masada pinned Sumi with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (10:33).
6. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON defeated Super Sasadango Machine & Danshoku Dieno (w/ KIMIHIRO) when MAO pinned Sasadango with the Cannonball 450° (13:48).

Don’t let the location fool you, if you take Super Sasadango Machine’s words at heart you’ll believe DDT had no intention to celebrate his homecoming today! At the start of the show Sasadango told the fans DDT didn’t want him to win in the main event today and have no intention of returning to Niigata ever again! His proof is he was forced to take part in a pre-show photo shoot to tire him out before his match. He warned Strange Love Connection that DDT will treat them the same way in about 16 or 17 years time so they should rebel against them like Sasadango & Danshoku Dieno. When MAO & KANON wouldn’t believe him, he and Dieno attacked them and forcefully put a Sasadango mask over KIMIHIRO’s face. The mask brainwashed KIMIHIRO to join their side and he betrayed SLC by kicking both of them in the nuts. DJ Nira of all people ran them off and protected SLC from suffering further harm.

During the main event Sasadango’s team, now called Sasadam revealed more members with Akito interfering while wearing the same looking mask. SLC received reinforcements when To-y and Yuya Koroku ran down to fight alongside them until Kazuki Hirata appeared in a mask to even out the numbers. Sasadango’s team took control until KANON found the courage to strip out of his overalls and give Dieno a Reverse Lip Lock. With him out of the way, MAO went on to pin Sasadango with the Cannonball 450° to end Sasadam’s attempted rebellion. Everyone who was brainwashed by the masks had now recovered including Sasadango himself. He took off his own mask to show remorse for his actions and thanked the fans for watching the main event of a DDT show in Niigata which according to him and MAO is like the second match of a DDT show in Gunma.

The undercard was already changed around because Daichi Sato called in sick but there was another last minute change when Yuki Ishida showed signs of catching a flu and also couldn’t wrestle. Some of the changes meant Kazusada Higuchi now had to team with HARASHIMA instead of Ishida and Jun Akiyama teamed with Tomomitsu Matsunaga instead of Sato. Higuchi got the win for his team but made a comment about needing to take good care of his health while preparing for the KO-D Tag Team Titles match.

7. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Miu Watanabe & Shino Suzuki when Aino pinned Suzuki with the Venus DDT (17:03).

It’s already getting cold in October so Yuki Aino is looking for ways to fire up everyone, Miu Watanabe included. She created a spark at a press conference a couple of days ago by getting Rise Shirai to call Watanabe a “Monster Princess”. Aino then beat Watanabe in a game of thumb wrestling at that press conference. She also got the better of her today with a Shoulder Tackle battle outside the ring followed by a Reverse Senton being done from the ropes to the floor. Aino then went on to pin Shino Suzuki with the Venus DDT to win the match for herself & Haru Kazashiro. Aino is now claiming she has beaten Watanabe twice this week and Watanabe even agrees. So later backstage Watanabe challenged Suzuki to a thumb wrestling match and easily beat her to get some little piece of momentum going back her way.

The era of Mahironman was briefly interrupted when Miyu Yamashita submitted Mahiro Kiryu to become the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. Yamashita wasn’t the only person wanting to win the belt because Hyper Misao told her before the match she had a plan to win it herself. Her plan was to roll up Kiryu from behind during her ring entrance but it failed when Kiryu kicked out of the pin. Misao tried to deny ever ambushing her and then told Kiryu it was her fault for leaving her defence open. Kiryu believed her and apologised for it during her apology spot in the match. Yamashita would then win the match and the title only for Misao to try rolling her up afterwards in a failed attempt to become champion. Kiryu pleaded with Yamashita to give the belt back because she wants to be the champion for her homecoming show on 19th October but Yamashita refused. instead Yamashita told her they can have a singles match with the title on the line at next week’s show in Shinjuku FACE. Kiryu accepted the challenge but then rolled up Yamashita anyway to become champ again before running off. However Yamashita said the singles is still going ahead next week and she will get revenge by bashing Kiryu’s brains in!

The Next Generation Tournament began with two matches in the opening round. This year’s competition is under double elimination rules so losing once doesn’t immediately knock anyone out of the running. It will just make the path to the final a more difficult challenge. Uta Takami won her match against Ren Konatsu and feels relieved because she doesn’t wrestle with the same confidence that Konatsu does despite having more experience. In the other match Kira Summer used a Modified Side Buster called the Hazard Hangover to beat Chika Nanase. That means Summer will next face Takami for a place in the grand final while Konatsu and Nanase have to fight each other when neither can afford to lose again.

DDT “NARAHA TOWN COME ON! ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN ASAKUSA”, 04/10/2025

1. Falls Count Anywhere 3 Way Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida and Kazuma Sumi & Rukiya when To-y pinned Sumi and Rukiya with T.O.Y Totonou Splash ~A Bridge Betwwen Naraha Town And Asakusa~ (34:43).

DDT returned to Naraha Town as part of To-y’s quest to promote the area as an unofficial ambassador as well as to pay off his never ending financial debt towards the local mascot Yuzutaro. Naraha’s deputy mayor also attended the outdoor Falls Count Anywhere Match that saw Kazusada Higuchi wrestle bare foot on the path, Yuki Ueno threaten to throw opponents into nearby shop displays and Yuki Ishida getting powered up by wrestling in front of the entrance of a sumo club. Harimao brought along extra weapons and stacked them up in a castle. Higuchi then crashed the Dramatic Dream bike into it with Ishida pushing behind it. The 37KAMIINA ended up getting the win when To-y climbed a ladder and did a Totonou Splash just like how Shunma Katsumata does it onto Kazuma Sumi & Rukiya, putting both of them through a table in the process. After the match To-y promoted a special bus tour of the area that will be held at the end of next January.

1. 3 Way Match: SAGAT defeated Banana Senga and Ryuma Sekimo when SAGAT pinned Sekio with the Goregrind (8:58).
2. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Round 1: Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA defeated Isami Kodaka & Takumi Tsukamoto when Sekine submitted Kodaka with the Let’s Combine (14:21).
3. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Round 1: Ryota Nakatsu & Daichi Kazato defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi when Nakatsu pinned Hiroshi with an Inverted Hurricanrana (11:47).
4. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Round 1: Kyu Mogami & Naka Shuma defeated Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken when Mogami pinned Kraken after a Weapon Attack (10:47).
5. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Round 1: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino defeated Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano when Nakano pinned Inoue with the Takagari (15:59).

This year’s IRON FIST Tag Tournament begins and Aijin Tag are feeling unstoppable. Their opponents Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano both have a background in volleyball and used volleyball inspired moves. They even name their team the Death Volleyball Club. Although they lost to Aijin Tag today, Inoue & Hatano claim just need to beat them the next two times they meet in order to become the real winners in the end.

The MJ2 domination in BASARA slightly increases with one half currently holding the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles and the other half here advancing past the first round. Kyu Mogami & Naka Shuma cheated to be Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken by attacking them with a chair. Neither of them thought the win was anything special and they felt like their opponents were missing for the entire match. They warn everyone that MJ2 is in BASARA to take it over!

Ryota Nakatsu got one back on Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi after getting pinned by him in Gunma last week. This time Nakatsu avoided the Spinebuster and used an Inverted Hurricanrana to get the three count on his upcoming Union MAX Title challenger. Daichi Kazato also thinks he and Nakatsu won because Gouma Ryu, the brains of WizRYU, wasn’t there to be with his team today. Shitamachi Rocket feel like they still need to improve as a team but if they have a score for today it is 95 out of 100.

The winners of the very first IRON FIST Tag Tournament decided to enter it again but couldn’t make it past the first round this time. Instead Ryuichi Sekine rolled up Isami Kodaka into a position for FUMA to kick him so Sekine could then apply the Let’s Combine to make Kodaka give up without Takumi Tsukamoto being able to stop it.

The IRON FIST Tag Tournament semi-finals on 15th October will be Shimatachi Rocket Vs Aijin Tag in the A Block and Hyakusho Ikki Vs MJ2 in the B Block. The final will take place on the same show.
