After today we’re done with the Beer Garden shows for the rest of the year. It ends on a bright point for Kaisei Takechi who got to compete in his first DDT style Falls Count Anywhere match teaming up with The 37KAMIINA. Before the match began Shunma Katsumata tried rolling up his own teammate Yuki Ueno to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Ueno kicked out so Katsumata ran away from the ring, briefly delaying the match from starting. Takechi fought with HARASHIMA around the venue before joining To-y so they could push each other on a cart along the aisleway. The opposing team put Sanshiro Takagi on a second cart and the two carts crashed into each other. Katsumata then rolled up Ueno again, this time succeeding to win the title. Junta Miyawaki built a castle of chairs nearby but Akito couldn’t find the Dramatic Dream bike anywhere. Suddenly Takechi was seen piloting it into the venue and cycling straight toward the chair castle. Everyone on the other team jumped out of the way as Takechi bumped his entire team into the chairs. He made up for the mistake by diving off the stage onto HARASHIMA & Akito. Ueno & Katsumata then fought with Takagi using chairs, coming out on top because of the numbers game. Katsumata climbed up to the balcony where he hit the Totonou Splash from three metres high onto Takagi through a table to win the match. Ueno then ruined Katsumata’s celebration by putting him in a Sleeper Hold to win back the Iron Man Title. He did the same to To-y when To-y tried to win the belt off him. Takechi saw two of his teammates were suddenly unconscious and decided not to join in. Katsumata tried to ambush Ueno one more time backstage after the show only to be sent to sleep yet again.
A special rule was added to the 8-Man Tag Match. Both MAO and Daisuke Sasaki were named captains of their teams. Whenever there was a kickout or rope break the team captain must drink a glass of alcohol. MAO and Sasaki got progressively more drunk as the match continued while everyone else involved were unaffected. Sasaki tried spitting his drink Poison Mist style but blinded MJ Paul with it by mistake. Yukio Naya took advantage to pin Paul with a Small Package.
Kazuma Sumi & Yuni are now confident that NωA Jr. can win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles after they beat two of the previous champions from paleyouth. Sumi & Yuni both proclaimed they will win the titles on 18th October.
Jun Akiyama acted as an honorary member of FANTÔMES DRAMATIC today by wearing some of their merch to the ring today. He also took part in their antics that involved baseball bats and some water balloons.
The 3 Way Match ended before Toru Owashi could make it to the ring. During his entrance, Antonio Honda grabbed the Hirata Go! glasses and threw them away, distracting Kazuki Hirata long enough to pin him with a roll up. Owashi was so upset he missed the match that Hisaya Imabayashi made the other wrestlers apologise to him and agree to a restart. As the rematch went on, Owashi and Honda gave each other a Lip Lock. That inspired Hirata to try doing the same with Yukinori Matsui, who closed his eyes in anticipation. Honda then rolled up Hirata for a pin but there was no count because Imabayashi’s eyes were still closed so he couldn’t see a pin. Owashi then made Honda use the Shining Gongitsune against himself and then used La Magistral Cradle to win the match.
The opening match showed us a world where Danshoku Dieno entered the wrestling industry as a no nonsense young lion wrestling in black trunks and no other presentation. This meant Yuki Ishida was the gritty veteran putting the rookie through his paces. Except at some point in the match something awakened in Ishida and he started to act like Dieno’s normal gimmick. Ishida ended up giving Dieno the Lip Lock and then started stripping out of his wrestling gear, causing the match to get called off.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 33: NE TOUCHE PAS MOI”, 06/10/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans
1. Daruma-san ga Koronda Death Match: Kota Sekifuda defeated Mr. Malo with the Daruma-san ga Koronda Cradle (9:28).
2. Chris Brookes defeated Anton (w/ Munek) with a School Boy (10:02).
3. BK-G Openweight Title: Mr. Bueno (c) defeated Ram Kaichow with a Roll Through Body Press (15:20).
*V5 for Mr. Bueno.
4. Hideyoshi Kamitani & Daichi Hashimoto defeated Yuya MAOki & Yuji Munagebayashi when Hashimoto pinned Munagebayashi after a Lariat & Leg Sweep Combo (15:26).
The main event this month took on a Big Japan flavour. The first team to enter were Okami, the pair of Hideyoshi Kamitani & Daichi Hashimoto. Then the next person to enter the room was MAO pretending to be Yuya Aoki again. His tag partner was then revealed to be Takayuki Ueki doing a full on Yuji Okabayashi impersonation. He wrestled wearing a bald cap but during the match the cap was ripped off and he was revealed to be bald for real underneath! Okami quickly got over the shocking sight and took “Yuji Munagebayashi” (Munage meaning chest hair) down with a Lariat/Leg Sweep combo to get the win.
Ueki’s change in behavior this month must have weakened the magical powers of Dark King Ueki. It would explain why Ram Kaichow showed up as herself instead of her Princess Ram persona today. It was a good time to be herself because she was fighting Mr. Bueno for the BK-G Openweight Title! Kaichow tried to use Bueno’s kind personality against him when she said a gentleman shouldn’t be using closed fist punches against a woman. Bueno agreed so he intentionally used painful submission holds on her instead. When that didn’t work he put on Mr. Malo’s mask so he would then have no hesitation in punching Kaichow. The challenger was able to pull off the black mask and demanded that Bueno start treating her like a pro wrestler. From that point on the two didn’t hold back against each other. Kaichow was able to knock Bueno down with Lariats and got a nearfall with the Rainmaker. She then did a Cross Body Block from the bar counter but Bueno rolled through to pin her and defend the title.
It’s been a while since Baka Gaijin + Friends was in ARENA Shimokitazawa. In the time since then Antonio Honda was turned evil by Ueki’s Magic Kingdom and transformed into a Goldberg parody named Anton! He had a homemade WCW World Heavyweight Title around his waist and said heelish things like Chris Brookes’s mom is fat. Brookes said he knows Honda inside out and has a way to break Munek’s spell on him. He took out a cream puff and fed it to Anton. Nothing changed and Anton started attacking Brookes to start the match. The “WCW Title” acted as armor for Anton that neither Brookes nor a fan he forced to punch the belt could break through. Anton then injured his knee so Brookes fed him an ice cream but again the spell was still active. Anton was ready to Spear Brookes when Brookes suddenly pulled out a fox puppet and it made it onto Honda’s hand. It was Gongitsune and it’s filthy joke was overpowering the spell! Munek pulled off the puppet and threw it away, causing Anton to turn on him. But Munek used a spell to make Anton hit himself over and over. At this point the spell was broken and Anton was back to his normal self. Brookes rolled him up anyway to win the match.
In the opening match Mr. Malo asked for an extra rule for him and Kota Sekifuda to follow. They would play a game of Daruma-san ga Koronda while wrestling, which is similar to playing Red Light, Green Light. Suzu Suzuki would tell the wrestlers to freeze whenever he wanted and they wrestlers would have to oblige. This caused Malo and Sekifuda to pause in the middle of exchanging holds or while their bodies were in unusual positions. This included when Sekifuda was doing a headstand, while Malo was hanging from the ceiling and when Sekifuda’s snake was brought into the match! Eventually Suzuki called for a freeze while Sekifuda and Malo were cradling each other. Malo’s shoulders were pinned at this point while Sekifuda still had one shoulder up. Daisuke Kiso wasn’t effected by the rule so he counted to three and rewarded the match to Sekifuda. Even though Sekifuda won, he told Malo afterwards he never wanted to do a match like that again.
The next Baka Gaijin + Friends show will be a “Late Halloween” show taking place on 17th November. The next show after that will be on 26th December at Shin-Kiba 1st RING. That one will be the first time Baka Gaijin uses a wrestling ring for one of their shows!

DDT “NANIWA PRO WRESTLING ROAD 2026”, 04/10/2026
Osaka City Higashiyodogawa Ward Kumin Hall
??? fans – Unannounced
1. Takeshi Masada, Daichi Sato & Yuki Ishida defeated Jun Akiyama, Junta Miyawaki & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Masada pinned Matsunaga with the Manburi (9:43).
2. Yuya Koroku, To-y & Hinata Kasai defeated Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Akito when Koroku submitted Hirata with an Arm Lock (0:04).
2a. Falls Count Anywhere: Yuya Koroku, To-y & Hinata Kasai defeated Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Akito when Koroku submitted Hirata with an Arm Lock (8:42).
3. Iron Man Heavyweight Title: Yuki Ueno defeated Masami Inahata with a Sleeper Hold (13:09).
*Yuki Ueno becomes the 1,915th champion.
4. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated Shunma Katsumata, Yuni, Kazuma Sumi & Kumadori when Ilusion pinned Yuni with the Chinga Tu Madre! (10:21).
5. STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: MAO, KANON & Yukio Naya (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda when MAO pinned Honda with the Bridging Gego Clutch (18:59).
6. Naomi Yoshimura 10th Anniversary Debut Match ~ Special Single Match: Zeus defeated Naomi Yoshimura with the Jackhammer (12:21).
Kind of hard to believe that Naomi Yoshimura’s been wrestling for ten years now. Looking back I have to wonder how much more prolific he would have been in DDT if he never suffered his neck injury at the very end of 2018. The man who got Yoshimura into wrestling in the first place is Zeus from Osaka Pro which made him the perfect opponent for Yoshimura for his 10th Anniversary match. It became a battle of Chops and while Yoshimura was able to take Zeus down with the Hirai-goshi, he was beaten in the end by Zeus’s Jackhammer. Yoshimura said Zeus is the wrester he admires most for paving the way for him. He was also the one who taught Yoshimura how to write up his resume to DDT (he had to re-do it twice). Zeus told the story of the day a young man showed up in his gym with an amazing physique and an incredible drive to push himself. He asked him what is his goal for the future and the young man answered “pastry chef”. As thanks for today’s match, Zeus invited Yoshimura to compete at his own 20th Anniversary show in Osaka Pro taking place on 11th October. Yoshimura said he would love to. He closed out the show saying the DNA generation are currently driving DDT forward and right now he is the No. 1 heavyweight in the company!
The energy levels surrounding the upcoming KO-D Openweight Title match have started off unusually low. MAO and Strange Love Connection are starting to miss Viento Levante while he is away with injury and Yuki Iino will be leaving them for NOAH soon as well. Meanwhile Chris Brookes is being open about wrestling while his back and elbow are both hurting. However he is confident he will be in good condition for Sumo Hall. It resulted in today’s preview match between SLC and FANTÔMES DRAMATIC to be more of a feeling out process than a big sprint.
A new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion needed to be crowned when the previous champion Shinjuku FACE shut down and now no longer exists. Yuki Ueno and Masami Inahata were chosen to fight for the vacant title and Ueno picked up the win by using the Blackout Sleeper to transition into a more regular Sleeper Hold. Ueno decided he wants to actively defend this championship to build up to his DDT Extreme Title match with Shunma Katsumata so it will end up becoming a Double Title match! He will become the “Iron Man” fitting to hold this championship.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”, 03/10/2026
Tokyo EBARA WAVE Arena Ota
1,357 Fans
1. Uta Takami defeated Ren Konatsu with the Koala Clutch (8:25).

*V1 for Shoko Nakajima.
8. EVE International Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) defeated Arisu Endo with the Skull Kick (10:31).
*V2 for Miyu Yamashita.
9. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) when Aino submitted Tatsumi with the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire Z (19:58).
*Daydream fails in V3. Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed become the 22nd Princess Tag Team Champions!
10. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) defeated Suzume with the Finally (21:51).
*V5 for Yuki Arai.
The bee has been kicked down to the ground. Yuki Arai continues her Princess Of Princess Title reign with a clean victory over Suzume, the current International Princess Champion. Suzume’s big moves to try and unseat the Princess Champ included a Flying Facebuster from the ring apron to the floor, the Hachinosu Eight Knot submission hold and Ring A Bell. When all of those failed, she resorted to Rolling Cradles but couldn’t pin Arai with them. Arai tried to submit Suzume with the Scorpion Death Lock but Suzume fought her way to grab a rope break. Eventually Arai got to throw Suzume down with the Full Nelson Buster and hit the Finally kick to get the victory and her fifth successful title defence.
Arai called Suzume a genuinely scary wrestler and she learned so many new sides to her through their matches together in the last few weeks. She’s happy to have somebody the same age as her become her rival. When Suzume left the ring, Shoko Nakajima got in and demanded Arai face her next so she can win the Princess Title from her. Arai remembers losing to Nakajima in the Tokyo Princess Cup so she accepted her challenge for 8th November. She raised the title high above Nakajima’s head, causing Nakajima to storm off. Arai then said she has gotten so big as champion she will go take down the Big Kaiju next! Meanwhile, Suzume backstage said she is now going to make the International Princess Title shine just as brightly as the Princess Title so Arai will want to fight her for it next time.
Today was the rude awakening that Daydream feared was coming. They lost the Princess Tag Team Titles to Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro! The lead up to the match had the champs bickering with each other like an old couple but they got back on the same page in time to take the title match seriously. However Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed were on great form as a team too and were constantly rescuing each other from harm’s way or cutting off the other team from doing the same. The gameplan worked out as Kazashiro trapped Miu Watanabe in the Izayoi hold on the ring apron while Aino made Rika Tatsumi submit to the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire Z. This now makes Aino a three time tag champion with a different tag partner every time. She said she isn’t surprised by the result because her team kept on believing in themselves. Kazashiro thinks it took more than luck to win because she chose this path with Aino and it was meant to be. She also dyed part of her hair from blue to red in order to show off her fighting spirit. Daydream cannot believe they lost the titles way before they could break the record for most defences. Watanabe feels like she’s woken up from a dream while Tatsumi swears it does not change that Daydream is the best team out there.
Let’s face it, the result of this was never in doubt. Especially since around 12 hours before this match happened, EVE announced Miyu Yamashita’s next appearance in England to defend the EVE International Title against Marina Shafir. Anyway, Yamashita successfully defended the belt here against Arisu Endo, knocking down her scrappy opponent with a running Skull Kick. The move didn’t come out of nowhere either. Endo went to do the Ju no Okite but Yamashita landed on her feet and flipped Endo upside down to give her the Wheelbarrow German Suplex instead. Endo kicked out of the Buzzsaw Kick and hit a Thrust Kick but that was what set up the Skull Kick finish. Yamashita said she anticipated Endo’s moves this time and had a built-in strategy ready for them, which is unusual for her to do. However that strategy went out the window when Endo got the first attack in so Yamashita fought the rest of the match just through sheer determination. Endo thinks getting to fight Yamashita for a title is proof that she’s gotten stronger. She also wants to speak up about everything she wants to do and turn her path into the most colorful journey imaginable.
Nakajima now has a chance of becoming a double singles champion because earlier in the show she retained the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title against the returning Zara Zakher. Nakajima did a Topé Suicida only for Zakher to fight fire with fire and immediately do the same move when Nakajima threw her back into the ring. Zakher then made the same mistake of rolling Nakajima back in so Nakajima could immediately hit her with a Topé Con Giro. Back in the ring Nakajima avoided the Control Z by landing on her feet and then got Zakher into the Locomotive Northern Lights Suplex to score her first defence of the All Asia Women’s Title. Nakajima said when she won this title in Thailand the cheers of the fans there left her with a wonderful memory so she wants to make this title the best it can possibly be. Zakher calls Tokyo Joshi Pro her home away from home and if the fans want her to be here, they just have to say it to TJPW.
It is a crazy enough sight to have Jushin Liger stand in a TJPW ring wearing a referee shirt. The craziness is amped up even more when the match he had to officiate was Hyper Misao against Mizuki. Before the match began, Misao told Liger that she is a superhero and the most honorable wrestler in TJPW while Mizuki is a bad person with a pitch black heart. Liger wanted to call the match fair and square, which meant he stopped Mizuki from using her Pico Pico Hammer as a weapon. Misao tried to do the Romero Special in front of Liger but couldn’t pull it off. Outside the ring Misao got on the Hypami Go but ran over Mahiro Kiryu with it after Mizuki got out of the way. Misao then tried to trap Mizuki in the ring apron but she escaped and hit under the ring while Misao unknowingly rolled up Liger into the corner post inside the apron. Mizuki then successfully lured Misao into crashing the Hypami-Go into Liger! More mishaps happened in the ring when Liger accidentally got sprayed in the eyes by Misao. Mizuki then missed the Pico Pico Hammer swing and hit Liger by mistake. She was able to frame Misao for it by passing the hammer to her so Liger saw Misao with hit. Misao complained that Liger wasn’t officiating the match properly so he hit her with the Palm Strike and put her in the Romero Special. Mizuki climbed the top rope to do the Diving Foot Stomp onto Misao while she was in the hold and Liger counted the pinfall. Liger said it’s been a while since he moved this much in the ring so he was impressed by the styles Misao and Mizuki showed off. He admitted he wanted to steal the show by doing the Romero Special but didn’t expect Mizuki to have the quick thinking to do a Double Stomp onto that and steal the spotlight for herself. Liger wouldn’t mind coming back to watch or even officiate TJPW matches more regularly.
Today was the last time VENYU would team up together and they got to right a wrong from the past. They’ve never won a tag match together in Ota Ward Gymnasium until today! They were joined by two members of O-MENZ for their entrance and then went on to beat Wakana Uehara & Toga. For once Toga got to experience what it’s like to be on the other side of a deadly Elbow Strike when VENY knocked her down with a loud one early in the match. Uehara tried her hardest to try and make Yuki Kamifuku submit to the Banana Pillow but a long struggle ended with Kamiyu getting the rope break. VENYU used the Magic Killer on Toga to get rid of her and Kamifuku went on to pin Uehara with the Diving Famouser. Kamifuku said she went into the match with the mindset that she absolutely won’t lose. It turned out the plan worked. VENY will keep that mindset for any future matches in TJPW. Uehara is coming to terms that this may actually be her last big match with Kamifuku before Kamifuku’s retirement at the end of the year. She’s going to cherish everything Kamiyu said to her in the ring today and move on forward.
O-MENZ were also involved in a big entrance for Match #4. They all danced for the combined entrance of Aja Kong, Sakura Hattori & Kumadori. Then for an added bonus Kong and Hattori joined the dance routine inside the ring! Meanwhile Kira Summer & Chika Nanase were there to learn from Chris Brookes. Summer took after him by mocking Hattori’s ninja posing. She also got to knock down Kong with a Shoulder Block after stomping on Kong’s foot to tip her off balance. Summer & Nanase were able to double team on Nanase but couldn’t do the same to Kong. She Back Suplexed Brookes away and then Double Shoulder Blocked the other two. Summer was able to delay Kong from using the steel can so she ended up hitting Hattori by mistake instead of Nanae. But Hattori survived a 2nd rope Diving Elbow from Nanase thanks to a rope break. Hattori fought out of Nanase’s finisher to stun her with an Enzuigiri and then hit the Sento Choryu for the pin while Kumadori held Brookes back from breaking it up. Kong joked her biggest challenge today was to not screw up the entance dance. Even though Brookes and his team lost he said he would like to team up with Summer & Nanase again. They can all go to DDT and fight for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles as the trio of “Normal Legs”, “Slightly Short Legs” and “Super Short Legs”.
The 3 Way Tag Match went ahead with no tag rules attached and the bottom rope loosened up in order for the mascots to get into the ring easier. Tama brought a kitchen knife to the ring but agreed to hand it over to Yukinori Matsui before the match began. It then got into a three way strike off with Pokotan and Minimo that ended in a stalemate. Pom Harajuku brought out a piece of merchandise that is a towel of both Tama and Tojojo then stomped on it to taunt Kiryu. Tama got its knife back but wasn’t eager to tag in when Kiryu needed its help. The other teams instead dragged Tama into the ring and attacked it until Kiryu tried to stop them. Finally Tama stepped in to Clothesline everyone. Kiryu held onto Raku for Tama to charge in but Raku moved and Tama instead stabbed Kiryu! Harajuku then pulled off Pokotan’s head and placed it over Raku only for Raku to use it for a Headbutt. Pokotan got its head back but Raku used the Doctor Yellow to twist it around before using the same move on Harajuku to get the win. She celebrated by dancing with Minimo in the ring.
The debut of Chieri Sakimori took place in Match #2 as part of a 6-Woman Tag Match. She started off fighting Shino Suzuki and Suzuki got to show her a “tour” of the arena while applying a Headlock. HIMAWARI carried Mifu Ashida on her shoulders to charge at the other team only for them to get out of the way. The two still got their hands on Momo Sato and made it a struggle for her to tag out. Shion Kanzaki focused on using her Side Armlock move which is now called the Midnight Blues. Most of Sakimori’s ring time was spent fighting HIMAWARI where she got a nearfall with a Cross Body Block. HIMAWARI got the better of her in the end by applying an elevated version of the Half Crab Hold for the submission victory. Sakimori felt she was able to go all out for her first match and showed what she is capable of. Sato is happy to already have her first junior below her and Kanzaki is confident the 2026 Class will build a great relationship together. When asked if there are any TJPW wrestlers she looks up to, Sakimori said she wants to be dazziling like Kamifuku and Uehara.
For the opening match both Uta Takami and Ren Konatsu were brought down to the ring on moving carts so they could wave to the crowd on the way to the ring. Only Arai got to use the same cart at the very end of the show. In the match itself, Konatsu got to slow down Takami enough to hit the Aries Comet and apply the Shoulder bite. Takami got out of it with a rope break and hit her own Missile Dropkick to Konatsu. She then applied the Koala Clutch, forcing Konatsu to collapse and submit. Konatsu was hoping to win before the Next Generation Tournament begins next week but she will just have to channel her frustration into that instead. Takami believes the opening match of the show is crucial and was happy the company left it to her to pull it off today.
After intermission had finished, Rise Shirai introduced everyone to Shiori Futaba from the idol group Congrazie! Futaba will be making her pro wrestling debut on 8th November. She promised everyone she will give it her all and show off her cool side in the ring.

BASARA “BASARA 317 ~UTAGE~”, 02/10/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Takumi Tsukamoto, Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano defeated Gouma Ryu, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga when Tsukamoto submitted Ryu with a Crab Hold (8:46).
2. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Round 1: SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken defeated Judo Master & Muscle Master when Kraken pinned Judo with the Period. (11:23).
3. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Round 1: Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Isami Kodaka & FUMA when Shimomura pinned Kodaka with the Asai DDT (16:30).
4. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Round 1: Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa defeated Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano when Nakagawa pinned Inoue with the Swanton Bomb (12:16).
5. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Round 1: Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Kazato pinned Nakano with the Rocket Punch Body Press (14:11).
The first round of this year’s IRON FIST Tag Tournament sees some big teams already getting eliminated including the reigning Iron Fist Tag Team Champions! That’s right, Aijin Tag lost to the odd couple team of Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida. The result is disastrous for Aijin Tag because Yoshida spent just as much time trying to fight Kazato as he did with them. He even put Kazato through a table and left him for Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino to pick up the scraps. However Kazato wouldn’t give up and seemed to finally win over Yoshida when he bit the bullet for one of the opponent’s double team moves. Kazato then took advantage of the confusing chaos to land the Rocket Punch Body Press on Nakano and pin him for the victory. Aijin Tag blame themselves for the loss and will watch the rest of the tournament from the sidelines to see who will challenge them for the tag titles next. Meanwhile Kazato thanks the fans for their support while Yoshida said the fans should be thanking him because he’s the only reason why he and Kazato won today.
Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa joked that they used the power of baseball to defeat the Death Volleyball Club. In reality the admit they didn’t rely on a lot of teamwork between them and even suffered some friendly fire that could have cost them the match. They also think if Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano can be called a volleyball club then maybe Nakatsu & Nakagawa can call themselves The Walk Club.
On paper the team of Isami Kodaka & FUMA should be competitive enough to run the bracket but they’ve been knocked out in the opening round thanks to Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura. FUMA got caught up in Katsumura’s Ninja Choke while Shimomura used the Asai DDT on Kodaka to pin him. The winning team thought they were facing Aijin Tag in the next round and were surprised to find out that won’t be the case. They agreed not to get pulled into Kazato’s world of playing games and instead go for a quick victory. It will be a busy day for Katsumura because he will be wrestling at Ganbare☆Pro too.
The first match in the bracket had to be changed when Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Seiya Morohashi both fell ill with love sickness. The team replacing them were the masked men of Judo Master & Muscle Master. The team introduced themselves as the “Master Of Softness” and the “Master Of Hardness”. SAGAT responded by calling the two of them hard to deal with. He also seemed to recognise Muscle Master was really Morohashi judging by his body shape. SAGAT unmasked him and discovered that Morohashi had his face painted like The Great Muta underneath! Morohashi gave SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken some Dragon Screws then sprayed water instead of Poison Mist. The water missed and got Judo Master by mistake. Krake then gave Judo the Period. for the three count. The Super Family think they won the match but also believe the could have been just a fever dream.
The semi finals on 12th October will be SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken Vs Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa and Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida.

The wonderful world of Muscle is back for a new generation. Super Sasadango Machine’s story based spin off brand holds an unusual role in developing many of DDT’s past talents so the time has come for it to return with a revamp and help mould the wrestlers from D GENERATIONS into something more. The comeback show hit a pretty major setback at the last minute. Kaisei Takechi was meant to be the headline star and leading role for the show but he felt unwell and had to pull out on short notice. A decision was made to cast Kazuki Hirata as Takechi’s replacement and he took the role literally by turning into “Kaisei Takechi”. Also Rukiya couldn’t be at the show due to his current injuries.
The story begins with a pre-show meeting held by Sasadango and Hisaya Imabayashi for the D GENERATIONS roster. Things did not get off to a good start with Sasadango complaining about Gen Z having short attention spans while Daichi Sato argued that KANON is too old to be considered a D GENERATIONS wrestler. Everybody eventually agreed to memorize their lines only to be told by Imabayashi that there is no script for the show. Instead everyone would have to go through a Championship Training Course that is essential to pass in order to win the KO-D Openweight Title. Normally this is a semester that lasts several months but because Gen Z doesn’t have the attention span for that, it will instead be a two hour long session to be held in front of everybody in the ring.
The course is open to wrestlers with eight years of experience or less and is divided into three classes: the Idol Wrestler Course, the Villainous Wrestler Course and the Mysterious Wrestler Course. The group were then introduced to the director of the Japan Championship Research Institute, former KO-D Champion, Meiko Satomura! She told the class that the most important thing is to determine whether or not they possess the strong spirit of a champion.
First up was the Idol Wrestler Course titled “iDooool”. The wrestlers assigned to this class were KANON, Takeshi Masada, Hinata Kasai and… Ilusion? The masked heel complained to Satomura about being here and threatened her with a beer bottle. Satomura quickly changed his mind by grabbing the bottle and smashing it to pieces with a single punch! The wrestlers were made to spar in the ring before getting advice from Satomura. She told KANON he moves too much for a wrestlers of his size and told Ilusion that he lacks social skills. She then said she wants Masada & Kasai to both become idol wrestlers who can sing and dance. They can become the Reiwa equivalent of the Crush Gals so she has named them the Explosive Boys!
Next up was the Villainous Wrestler Course called “Heeeeel!!” and it was made up of six wrestlers. “Takechi” was sent here along with Yuya Koroku, Kazuma Sumi, Yuki Ishida, Daichi Sato and Masami Inahata. The instructor for this course was Yuki “BADASS” Ueno, the never seen before heel alter ego of DDT’s current ace! He taught the students that being evil is the correct thing to do and presented them a list of all the WWE wrestlers who turned heel before becoming champions. The sparring session was a three versus three bout where only foul play was permitted. During the match, Hideki Okatani suddenly showed up and started attacking people with his bamboo stick. He and “Takechi” then joined forces to attack Ueno, who decided to end the session right there.
Last but not least, class was now in session for “Mystery”, the Mysterious Wrestler Course. The three remaining students are Viento Levante, Yuni wearing his old El Unicorn outfit and To-y with his face painted up as The Great Koji. To everyone’s surprise El Desperado from New Japan is in charge of this class! He explained that masks and face paint are not only used to conceal identities but to create new ones as well. One by one the students revealed their personas. To-y tried to explain The Great Nita as an original idea but Despy didn’t believe him. Yuni said he has wrestled for ten years which surprised Despy because he didn’t know that already. Levante talked about how he is about to undergo surgery in his right knee. He vows to come back and become the KO-D Champion.
The sparring session went ahead as a 3 Way Match. Yuni and Levante spent most of the time fighting each other while To-y tried to charge up a Poison Mist attack. Suddenly all of the heels from the Villainous Wrestler Course ran into the ring and attacked everybody! Ueno said this was Run In Training and all part of his course. Now it was time for Mask Removal Training! The heels unmasked Yuni and almost did the same until Desperado tried to stop them. The heels then ganged up on him when Satomura stormed into the ring to scare everyone away.
Ueno started to mock Satomura, telling her she never made it to the top of WWE because she never turned heel! He then instructed “Takechi” to get on the stage and invited Satomura over in a sultry manner so they could do something “bad” together. Satomura couldn’t help but be drawn towards “Takechi” but it was a trap! Okatani emerged from the shadows to attack Satomura with the bamboo stick. Satomura saw it coming and blocked him but she left herself vulnerable to a deadly hand chop by “Takechi” that somehow blew up Satomura into pieces! Ueno then proposed a challenge to the other two classes. If their students can beat the heels one by one, they will be given back different pieces of Satomura so she could be put back together. If they fail then her home promotion Sendai Girls would collapse without her leadership!
The first match between Yuni and Yuki Ishida was for Satomura’s torso. Ishida used the heel tactics he learned to try and unmask Yuni and attack him with a chair. But the chair attack missed and bounced back into Ishida. Yuni got a nearfall with the Messiah DDT then got the win with the Phoenix Splash.
Yuya Koroku & Masami Inahata in Match #2 cheated by throwing powder and swinging baseball bats. To-y was now in full Great Koji mode while Ilusion tried his best babyface behavior by giving the thumbs up instead of the middle fingers. He even made the decision not to use a baseball bat when given the chance. To-y blinded Inahata with Poison Mist and did a Combined Thrust Kick with Ilusion to win back Satomura’s arms.
The next limb up for grabs was Satomura’s right leg. The mentors were now getting directly involved with Desperado teaming up with Levante while Ueno joined forces with Kazuma Sumi. The heels again tried to unmask their opponents but the fighting went on until the final minute. With time almost running out, Levante was able to lure Sumi into taking a punch from Desperado. Levante then rolled up Sumi to continue the winning streak against the heels.
Things then went pear shaped in the match after that. KANON fought Daichi Sato to a time limit draw. Sato used some Eye Rakes to slow down KANON but KANON hit back with several Lariats. Sadly the time expired before he could finish Sato off. That meant the Idol & Mystery Alliance were unable to claim back a vital part of Meiko Satomura, the shoulder pads from her suit jacket… Yes they are necessary!
The challenge had been failed but Imabayashi begged the Villainous Wrestler Course to put everything on the line for the final battle. Ueno hesitated to agree but he was convinced when the Explosive Boys performed a brand new song called “”&”GENERATION” in front of him. Ueno said the song reminded him of something from the past and he accepted the final challenge. Every piece of Meiko Satomura would be on the line in the main event!
The Explosive Boys now had to fight Okatani & “Takechi” but Kasai never anticipated what would happen to him. Late in the match, Okatani handed his bamboo stick to Masada and ordered him to attack Kasai with it. Masada refused and saved Kasai from a beating. The two hugged until Okatani suddenly gave Masada a signal that brainwashed him into turning on Kasai with a Low Blow! Okatani then handed over Satomura’s shoulder pads to Masada and it gave him the ability to use the Scorpio Rising on Kasai (I told you they were necessary). Okatani then gave a Vertical Drop Brainbuster before pinning him with one foot along with “Takechi” and Masada.
When the match was over, “Takechi” & Masada started bragging about all of the money they were about to make when they win every championship from every company and unify them all. However the heels unknowingly placed all of Satomura’s body parts together in a pile and accidentally resurrected her back to one piece! She wasn’t angry over what just happened. In fact this whole ordeal was a practical exam to graduate from the course! She cleared up the ring so the graduation ceremony could begin.
The ceremony began with each class announcing their top student. They were Kasai for the Idol Wrestler Class, Levante for the Villainous Wrestler Course and Masada for the Villainous Wrestler Course (because of his heel turn). Satomura then announced the reward for these three was a KO-D Title shot! The champion MAO is already at the show to do an autograph session and was watching from the balcony. He agreed to put the title on the line against the three top students in a Survival 4 Way Match right away! At this point the show was reaching its scheduled end time but Akito promised to take full responsibility for the show breaking its curfew.
The match began and was every man for himself. It was elimination rules so the KO-D Title would go to the last man standing. Kasai was first to go after Masada pinned him with his finisher. He gave Levante a Low Blow and tried to eliminate him when MAO stopped it and pinned Masada with a Bridging Gedo Clutch instead. Levante was left fighting from beneath due to his injured knee being targeted. He kicked out of the Michinoku Driver II but MAO then followed up with the Iai Kick. Levante couldn’t get back up after that and the match ended by ruling of Knockout.
With another successful defence under his belt, MAO didn’t stay in the ring for long because he had his autograph session to get to. Sasadango gathered everyone else together to close out the show. He praised everyone for giving the audience the ultimate Muscle experience today. They were really running for time at this point so Levante, Masada and Ilusion led everyone in a “Muscle, Muscle and Muscle” chant to finish the event.

*Shinjuku FACE becomes the 1,914th champion.
Pro wrestlers from across the Japanese scene all gathered together for the final ever show to take place inside Shinjuku FACE. For 21 years the venue in the heart of Kabukicho hosted hundreds if not thousands of pro wrestling and martial arts events but the time has come for it to close down. Not only has their rent controlled lease come to an end but the entire Humax Pavilion complex that FACE is a part of is said to be getting a heavy reconstruction/replacement job in the future. So today was Shinjuku FACE’s last day in business.
The main event was inspired by the headline match of FACE’s first ever event held 21 years ago. Back then it was a women’s MMA show but the main event was a pro wrestling match between Mayumi Ozaki & Dynamite Kansai against Aja Kong & Manami Toyota. Both Ozaki and Kong are still active so they got to relive the match, this time with Chihiro Hashimoto and Sareee also involved. OZ Academy always treated FACE as its home so it was only natural for Ozaki’s hechman Policeman to get involved and deal some heavy cheating in the match. Ozaki & Sareee kind of needed the extra help because even the three of them working together couldn’y overpower the combined strength of Kong & Hashimoto. Eventually the match broke down into a brawl that flowed outside the ring. The action was even starting to damage the venue itself and both teams wound up getting counted out to end the match in a draw.
Ozaki wasn’t happy with that result and demanded the match to restart. Not only that but she also called for every wrestler in the building to come out and wreck the place while the match continued! The entire venue turned into chaos with wrestlers hitting things with chairs, MAO driving the Dramatic Dream bike around ringside, The Brahman Brothers throwing water around everywhere, Syuri giving Sakura Hirota the Old School rope walk across the counter and Yuma Aoyagi posing for pictures with fans. Back in the ring Ozaki & Policeman were trapped in the corner so Kong led a Sayonara Train of wrestlers to charge into them one by one. The final person to join the train was the venue’s manager Yuka Ogawa. She got into the ring carrying a framed photo of the late Taichi Sakaiya, a politician who was involved with the creation of FACE. When Ozaki finally fell down to the canvas after taking the attacks, Kong & Hashimoto told Ogawa to pin her so she could score the final pinfall in Shinjuku FACE.
After the match the fans started a “One More Time” chant but Kong said there’s nothing they can do about it. She would love to keep wrestling here 100 more times but the entire building will disappear soon. She then ordered Minoru Suzuki to gather up his money and buy the plot of land so they can build a new FACE. Hashimoto said this is the place where she grew stronger. She never got to hit anyone with a chair or umbrella before today but she really enjoyed hitting Ozaki with them. Sareee said she’s never had a match as chaotic as this. Shinjuku FACE was where she first met her ultimate rival Hashimoto and she is certain the two will keep leading women’s pro wrestling. Ozaki and Kong interrupted her so they could talk about their own decades long rivalry that will keep on going until one of them goes away. They’ll even be around if a new Shinjuku FACE gets built so they can be on the first show there!
More people spoke about their history with FACE including Suzuki, Sanshiro Takagi, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan and Sakura Hirota. Suzuki revealed that Ogawa used to work in Pancrase. When she left the company he never knew where she went until he had a match here and saw that Ogawa was in charge of the place. Takagi loves FACE and knows it will live on in everyone’s hearts. Kuroshio admitted his promotion Up Town had the most shows that ran over time and paid those penalty fees the most. He also snuck in extra chairs behind the staff’s back because more people would show up than the ticket sales suggested. Hirota started crying because there is a hallway backstage that is the perfect size for the wrestlers to just hang out and chat with each other. Whenever she was here she knew her friends would be waiting for her there.
Ogawa was then invited to give her own speech. She’s come to realize how precious and important this venue is and is thankful to Taichi Sakaiya for his help in establishing Shinjuku FACE in the first place. She feels it is up to her to write the next chapter and she intends to create a new venue to carry on the FACE legacy.
There were some eventful Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title changes that happened throughout the show. The first happened when Ogawa was supposed to present a prize to the winner of the Battle Royal. Unfortunately the winner was one of The Brahman Brothers and they both wanted to attack Ogawa instead. Sanshiro Takagi got into the ring but that just meant The Brahmans threw their buckets of water at both of them. The splash was enough to knock Takagi out in the middle of the ring and the fans all encouraged Ogawa to pin him and win the Iron Man Title. Then at the end of the show Ogawa announced that the burden of holding this champion is too much to bear for her. She decided she would hand the belt over to Shinjuku FACE itself! Yukinori Matsui accepted her decision and declared the title change official. At the stroke of midnight, Shinjuku FACE was now officially closed for good so DDT decided the Iron Man Title has now become vacant.

SUPER JAPAN “SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES ~GOODBYE SHINJUKU FACE~”, 28/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. GAJI Debut Match: Shota & Ryoma Tsukamoto defeated GAJI & Makoto Oishi when Shota pinned Oishi with the Gannosuke Clutch (8:54).
2. Special Tag Match: Marika Kobashi & Azusa Inaba defeated Mio Shirai & Yuuki Minami when Kobashi pinned Shirai after a Back Drop from Inaba (5:29).
3. Special Tag Match: Kumadori & Saira defeated Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Yuki Kamifuku when Kumadori pinned Kuroshio with the Corkscrew Senton (12:10).
4. Special Single Match: CIMA defeated Ken Ohka with the Meteora (12:31).
5. 4 Way Tag Match: Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa, Thanomsak Toba & Gym Trainer Kotoka and Fuminori Abe & Mac Matsushita when Shu pinned Takagi after the Gotai Fumanzoku (14:08).
6. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yuji Nagata (c) defeated Satoshi Kojima with the Back Drop Hold (13:28).
*V? for Yuji Nagata.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Yuji Nagata (c) with a Cradle (9:10 pm).
*Sanshiro Takagi becomes the 1,912th champion.
The last time Yuji Nagata and Satoshi Kojima had a singles match against each other was eleven years ago at the 2015 G1 Climax. Today stood across the ring from each other as part of the Shinjuku FACE Countdown Series. An added bonus was Nagata being the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion going into the match (he very briefly lost it and won it back from Manabu Nakanishi during an interview for his Youtube channel during the week) which meant the main event now had a title on the line. This was treated as a much bigger deal than previous Iron Man Title bouts because Shuichi Nishinaga from NOAH was brought in to be the referee, Fumihito Kihara formerly of All Japan was the special ring announcer and Masayuki Uchida was part of the pre-match ceremony.
Nagata defeated Kojima to successfully defend the title by using a Kneel Kick, an Enzuigiri and then the Back Drop Hold for the three count. He thanked the fans afterward because their cheers gave him strength. He also told Kojima to continue doing his best because the two of them are the last remaining wrestlers from New Japan’s “Third Generation” that are still active. Sanshiro Takagi then gathered everyone together to close out the show. Since this is Super Japan’s final show in Shinjuku FACE, Takagi hopes the promotion will find a new venue to continue running shows with Nagata as the company ace. Suddenly when Nagata was saying his catchphrase, his young lion at ringside Tatsuya Matsumoto tried to roll him up to win the title! Nagata kicked out but was so distracted by what happened that Takagi then rolled him up and got the pinfall to become the new champion.
Years of traumatic history hung over Ken Ohka’s match with CIMA. Ohka, believe it or not, was originally a Toryumon student way back in the day but flunked out of there and never debuted for the promotion. His failure put him in a dark place but he continued to seek out a pro wrestling career because he loves it so much. He knows CIMA has gone through some rough times too so he encouraged him to keep wrestling even if his limbs ever stop working. CIMA admitted he’s been scammed four times in his life and the most recent was a wire transfer scam that many other people fall for. He joked that he holds the record for the highest financial loss in history.
Fuminori Abe got a little too giddy over the occasion and told everyone during his match he would spray paint the word “Anal” onto the wall. He lived up to his word. He was apologetic about it at the end of the show and promised to clean off the graffiti. I don’t know if he properly cleaned it away but he at least sprayed more paint on the wall to cover up the word.
If Kuroshio TOKYO Japan was going to team up with Yuki Kamifuku, he was going to do it on Kamiyu’s terms. She pulled off Kuroshio’s jacket before the match and made him wear her own entrance jacket. He asked everyone if he looked cute but Saira in particular said no. Kuroshio later grabbed Saira into a Full Nelson and told Kamifuku to call her ugly but she refused. Saira damaged Kuroshio’s ego further when he had a dance off with Kumadori and Saira said Kumadori looked cooler. Kuroshio hit her with an Enzuigiri and also knocked down Kamifuku so the match would just be between him and Kumadori. Kamifuku got revenge by giving her tag partner the Diving Famouser. The other team followed up with Saira hitting the Sky Twister Press followed by Kumadori doing the Corkscrew Senton for the victory.

6b. HARASHIMA eliminated Ilusion with the Somato (21:21).
6c. MAO eliminated Kasai with the Cannonball 450° (26:15).
Earlier today Tokyo Joshi Pro said its goodbyes to Shinjuku FACE. When the evening came around it was DDT’s turn to do the same. Their idea of a grand sendoff was to do a massive 4 Way Elimination match between four teams of four wrestlers each. Strange Love Connection, DAMNATION T.A and FANTÔMES DRAMATIC made up three of the teams while the fourth was an alliance of The 37KAMIINA & NωA Jr. Originally, Danshoku Dieno was meant to be on that team but he had to pull out on short notice due to illness. The match itself was held under Falls Count Anywhere rules and some really wanted to take that rule to the extreme. MAO and Chris Brookes tried to bring the fight out of the building out to the streets of Shinjuku but nearby security prevented them from making it far past the building’s entrance. When the dust settled, SLC were the last team standing with MAO scoring the final elimination.
A week ago Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki agreed to give paleyouth a shot at the KO-D Tag Team Titles as long as Yuya Koroku lost some weight. Aoki continued to give Koroku a hard time over his alleged heaviness in the match by targeting his midsection. However Koroku was there to make the save for Takeshi Masada when the match was on the line. Aoki took him out with a Topé Suicida but Miyawaki wasn’t able to put Masada away by himself. Instead Masada made a comeback and pinned Miyawaki with his finisher to win the titles! After the match Soma Takao appeared in the ring alongside his ROMANCE DAWN tag partner Shota. Today was Takao’s last match under contract to DDT and he is now a freelancer. That doesn’t mean DDT won’t stop booking him though. Since both members of ROMANCE DAWN are now freelancers they are hungrier than ever to challenge for the KO-D Tag Titles! Masada wasn’t sure about accepting the challenge but Koroku wants to avenge last week’s defeat to Takao so the title match will happen on 18th October.
A variation of the Lumberjack Match was used for the DDT Extreme Title bout. Shunma Katsumata and Ryota Nakatsu brought along their own lumberjacks who were allowed to attack the opponent should he be knocked out of the ring. Katsumata had Kazuma Sumi, Yuni and Yuki Ishida while Nakatsu brought along Takumi Tsukamoto and Masato Kamino from BASARA. The lumberjacks carried both wrestlers on their shoulders for a “cavalry” fight at ringside at one point. Back in the ring, Nakatsu grabbed hold of Katsumata for Kamino to hit with a Lariat along the ring apron but Katsumata ducked and Nakatsu got him instead. Katsumata then capitalized with a German Suplex to pin Nakatsu and remain the champion. Katsumata then decided to nominate Yuki Ueno as his next challenger for Sumo Hall on 3rd November! They just fought for Katsumata’s 10th Anniversary match and he does not want to wait until the 20th Anniversary to wrestle him again. Ueno refused at first but he was just joking. He accepted the challenge and said it is not just so he can wrestle his friend again. He also wants to show everyone he can do entertaining Extreme Title matches too.
Today was also Gota Ihashi’s final appearance under a DDT contract before going freelance. Unlike Takao, he did not find a way to still get a title shot or other further DDT bookings in the short term. But he did get to say goodbye along with Takao and thank everyone for supporting him over the last 17 years.
Due to Dieno’s absence, Sumi took his spot in the main event and Tomomitsu Matsunaga filled in for Sumi in the dark match. Also at the end of the show To-y put on a pair of Danshoku tights so Dieno could have some kind of presence for DDT’s final Shinjuku FACE show.
Everyone gathered together at the end of the show to say farewell to Shinjuku FACE. Sanshiro Takagi said DDT has been indebted to the venue for 21 years and they were never reprimanded for anything they did here. He’s certain nothing they did today would get them in trouble too. No other venue treated DDT so generously. With that being said, Daisuke Sasaki broke off a piece of one of the walls with the intention of auctioning it off for 200 million yen. If he makes that much he’ll use the money to build a new Shinjuku FACE by himself.

Today’s double header in Shinjuku FACE is the chance for DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro to say their goodbyes to the venue as part of the Shinjuku FACE Countdown Series. TJPW were up first with their go home show for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”. It is here that Suzume scored a clean and direct pinfall over Yuki Arai while Arisu Endo got a boost in confidence going up against Miyu Yamashita. It helps that Daisy Monkey has the better experience with tagging together than Arai & Yamashita do. Yamashita accidentaly got Arai with a High Kick and Daisy Monkey took advantage, isolating Arai until Suzume could pin her with the Ring A Bell. Afterward Suzume praised Arai for being strong but also said she now found the path to beating her for the Princess Of Princess Title. Arai accepts that she still has room to grow stronger and she will be the one still standing next week. Yamashita on the other hand is having lots of fun wrestling Endo and can’t help but get excited just from seeing the smile on Endo’s face. Endo told her she will give Yamashita goosebumps in their EVE International Title match.
Daydream seems to have gotten over their relationship trouble and are now back on the same page. There was still tension between Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi at the start of their match, particularly when it came to who wanted fight Chika Nanase more. But Daydream got back in sync to stop an attack from Yuki Aino and hugged each other to show their problems are now water under the bridge. Sakura Hattori did her part to set Daydream up for the victory too. Tatsumi says the team’s bond has grown stronger and nobody can break it now. Aino told Haru Kazashiro they need to go do some serious training at a particular place if they want to beat Daydream next week. When Tatsumi heard that she said there is not enough time left for Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed to get strong enough.
The final singles match between Yuki Kamifuku and Wakana Uehara got a bit heated at the beginning. Uehara blocked an Eye Poke attempt from Kamifuku. Then when she offered out her hands for a handshake, Kamifuku slapped her across the face instead. Uehara tried using the Banana Pillow to win and even got to move Kamiyu back to the centre of the ring. But Kamiyu fought for the rope break, avoided the Sushi Tornado and won the match with the Diving Famouser. After the match she approached Uehara for a hug only to push her away and give her the middle fingers Stone Cold style. Backstage she admitted she’s been keeping her distance from Uehara ever since Ober Eats lost the Princess Tag Team Titles. It was all to make Uehara learn how to stand on her own two feet. She compares it to a lion pushing its cub out of the den and she is glad to see Uehara is growing without her. Uehara said she is now really fired up for her and Toga to fight VENYU next week.
Match #4 featured all of the active TJPW wrestlers who made their debuts in Shinjuku FACE. Both teams agreed to add a special rule to the match for the occasion. A wrestler would have to shout out their love for Shinjuku FACE or something they like about the venue before applying a pin in order for it to count. A wrestler could do the same while they are trapped in a submission hold to get out of it as if it was a rope break. During the match Uta Takami said you can the the ring from anywhere in the room and they also sell delicious ice cream. Mahiro Kiryu apologised for the weird rules before saying the venue is packed with pro wrestling history. Kira Summer praised the staff for working hard to explain things to her in English. Shino Suzuki said it is a warm venue and very welcoming even if you forget your wrestling costume. Kiryu told a story about having her debut here in front of friends and family but Suzuki cut her off because it was too long. Hyper Misao brought up that she cut a promo in her debut match here and that’s why she is still here today. It was also where Misao suddenly declared her retirement then changed her mind so the six wrestlers agreed to pause the match and “graduate” from Shinjuku FACE by bowing together in gratitude for the staff and everything else in the building. Misao then shouted that she loves Shinjuku FACE and went on to pin Summer for the victory.
Before the 3 Way Match began, Pom Harajuku stole both Mizuki’s Pico Pico Hammer and Raku’s pillow. She laid both in the middle of the ring and challenged the two to play a Hit And Cover version of Rock Paper Scissors where the winner gets to grab their weapon and hit the loser with it. Mizuki and Raku got annoyed with the game and both decided to hit Harajuku with their weapons instead. There was also a point Harajuku had both of her shoes taken off as well as one of Raku’s. Everyone then tried to fight each other armed with one shoe each.
The entire locker room gathered together at the end of the show. Yamashita said getting to Shinjuku FACE was the first goal TJPW wanted to accomplish in their early years. Back then there wasn’t as many roster members or fans in the audience but over time TJPW grew and is now able to sell out their shows. Yamashita believes Shinjuku FACE played a huge role in making TJPW what it is today and it is sad to see the venue go away.
