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”, 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”, 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.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN SHINAGAWA”, 04/10/2025

3. Rika Tatsumi defeated Raku with the Missile Hip (7:51).
4. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Miyu Yamashita, Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami defeated Arisu Endo, Suzume & Mahiro Kiryu (c) when Yamashita submitted Kiryu with the Modified Cobra Clutch (12:11).
*Miyu Yamashita becomes the 1,771st champion.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Mahiro Kiryu defeated Miyu Yamashita (c) with a School Boy (12:38 pm).
*Mahiro Kiryu becomes the 1,772nd champion.
5. Yuna Manase & Toga defeated Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida when Toga pinned Ashida with the Rock Bottom (10:29).
6. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Mizuki & Pom Harajuku when Kamifuku pinned Harajuku with the Famouser (9:28).
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
Tokyo Asakusa Broadway Shopping Arcade
??? Fans – Unannounced
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.

BASARA “BASARA 289 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 02/10/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced
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.

5. Daisuke Sasaki 20th Anniversary Match: Daisuke Sasaki & El Desperado defeated Shuji Ishikawa & Antonio Honda when Sasaki submitted Honda with the Crossover Face Lock (23:10).
Twenty years of Daisuke Sasaki was celebrated inside Korakuen Hall today for the latest edition of “CHARISMANIA”. There were not only wrestling matches featuring wrestlers closely connected to Sasaki but live music was performed by several bands too. HEAD PHONES PRESIDENT sponsored the entire show, VANISHING played Sasaki’s entrance music as he walked down to the ring and Sasaki’s own band CHANNEL D opened up the show with a song.
For the main event Sasaki teamed up with a previous big show opponent El Desperado from New Japan to take on two wrestlers who have been close to Sasaki for a lot of his career, Shuji Ishikawa & Antonio Honda. A match as important as this made Honda bring out the Tenzan Tombstone Driver to use on Sasaki while Ishikwa gave Desperado the Fire Thunder Driver. The opposing team also gave Sasaki the Double Impact/Doomsday Device but Desperado came back to give Honda the Pinche Loco. And even though it was Sasaki’s day to be the hero, he still cheated by giving Honda a Low Blow when the ref wasn’t looking so he can easily make Honda give up to La Mistica Crossover Face Lock.
The members of HEAD PHONES PRESIDENT congratulated Sasaki after the match and gave him a commemorative gift. He told the fans today was CHANNEL D’s first performance and their next goal is to perform at Budokan Hall. He also gave a shoutout to the injured Masahiro Takanashi, telling him to live his own life while Sasaki continues living in the ring because they will meet again some day. He then ended the show with a rare show of thanks toward the audience followed by a joke that today’s lineup will be back in twenty years time for Sasaki’s 40th Anniversary.
Sasaki is one of the many wrestlers who was trained by Dick Togo over the years so not only did he book Togo for the show, he booked a bunch of his other protégés too! Yasu Urano, KUBITO, Diego & Naohiro Katsumi have all had their lives touched by Togo and with their mentor taking the lead the TOGO FAMILY fought a team of five DDT wrestlers. Togo had moments to fight with HARASHIMA before Akito and KUBITO took over. Togo also exchanged attacks with Kazusada Higuchi and give To-y the Pedigree on top of Yuki Ueno’s back. Togo’s last big move was to cut off HARASHIMA before doing a running dive onto Higuchi from the ring apron. However Yuki Ueno survived a Cross-Arm Power Bomb from Yasu Urano to hit back with a Dropkick and then pin him with the Best Moonsault Ever.
The rest of DAMNATION T.A were involved in matches on the undercard. Hideki Okatani’s birthday isn’t happening for another month but Sasaki got him a birthday present anyway. It was a Hardcore Match against Jun Kasai! They fought each other using computer keyboards, chairs, a guitar and even a birdcage as weapons. Kasai put Okatani through a table at ringside by jumping from the top rope onto him. As Kasai was getting the upper hand, he told Okatani out loud that his son Hinata Kasai is grateful for all of his help. Okatani wouldn’t be beaten with the Pearl Harbor Splash even after he got skewers planted into his head and he got pushed off a ladder. He also kicked out of the Vertical Drop Tiger Driver so Kasai had to pull out the Cross-Arm Stimulation to finally put him away. He wanted to shake Okatani’s hand after the match but Okatani refused and gave him the middle finger instead. Despite his behavior, Okatani said backstage that it’s been a while since a Hardcore match got him feeling this excited. Meanwhile Kasai said that since DDT is currently taking care of his son, he would like if it they start taking care of him too!
A “Memorial Cup” for Sasaki was up for grabs in the Tag Gauntlet match that ended up turning into a free for all because some of the teams decided to enter early. Danshoku Dieno spent almost the entire match crouching over the top turnbuckle in the Hell Gate position, even after his team was eliminated when Sumicaras was “unmasked” and thrown out of the ring. When Kazuki Hirata & Soma Takao were eliminated, the chaos then began thanks to The Brahman Brothers joining the match. They were accompanied by the long suffering staff member Mataro who was now Mataro Brahman! Mataro took a beating but that just gave The Brahmans the opening to eliminate Toru Owashi & Naomi Yoshimura. Just when things couldn’t get worse, the SCHADENFREUDE International team entered the match with Chris Brookes, Takeshi Masada & Bunbun also dressed up like The Brahmans and doing their spots! The Apex tried to clean things up but were overwhelmed by the ring full of Brahmans. Yukio Naya was shoved face first into Dieno’s Hell Gate, the Brahmans force fed Dieno green slime and by the end of the spot the slime started coming out of Naya’s mouth! Naya got revenge by knocking everyone out of the ring to eliminate both The Brahmans and SCHADENFREUDE. Mataro tried to distract Naya by placing a piece of sashimi onto his head. Naya took a bite out of it and fainted but Yuki Iino then chopped Mataro out of the ring. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie were the last team to enter and used their teamwork to eliminated The Apex and then Yasutaka Oosera & Ilusion back to back to become the last team standing. Their prize for winning was a free beer voucher each. Irie isn’t much of a beer drinker so he gave his voucher to Ishii.
MJ Paul got some shine in the opening match along with part-time DAMNATION T.A member Minoru Fujita as well as a sort of ally Hiroshi Yamato. Fujita was used by Choun Shiryu to vault himself onto everyone outside the ring. Masashi Takeda used his skills to Northern Lights Suplex Fujita & Yamato at the same time. Yuko Miyamoto tried to finish off Fujita but his Tombstone attempt was reversed into the Sayonara version by Fujita. The DAMNATION-ish team ended up focusing on Shiryu which paid off with Paul using the Reverse Splash to pin him.

BASARA returned to the area FUMA has called home for quite a few years now. Their annual visit to Gunma pits FUMA against some big name opponents in the past and it was the same here. He & Ryuichi Sekine wore new matching gear for their tag match against the two outsiders Masato Tanaka & Daisuke Sekimoto. While their teamwork took them far, including a tandem that had Sekine give Tanaka the Kamikaze after FUMA hit them with a Missile Dropkick from behind, victory escaped from their grasp. Sekimoto grabbed both Tanaka and FUMA to do a Double German Suplex and Tanaka got up first to hit FUMA with the Sliding D for the win.
Ryota Nakatsu tried to impress the locals by bringing along the three championships he currently holds (BASARA’s own Union MAX Title, the Dove Tag Title from Dove Pro and the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Title from Ganbare☆Pro) but Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi spoiled his day by getting the pin over him!

-. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) defeated Kazuma Sumi with the WR (12:02).
*V1 for Yuki Ueno. Kazuma Sumi cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Arm Cover.
From this point on no matter what happens with DDT, we will always have the September of Kazuki Hirata. He had it all going for him today. He was headlining a packed Korakuen Hall show in a KO-D Openweight Title defence against his most unique rival Yoshihiko. The battle doll used multiple German Suplexes to throw the champion around and also strategically targeted his arm with submissions. But Hirata held on and started using Power Bombs to beat Yoshihiko to a pulp, putting an end to the match with a Somersault Power Bomb from the top rope as some over the top tribute to the Kobe World Liner spot. Things could not have been going better for our good pal Hirata. Yoshihiko even applauded his victory and brought a gift to congratulate Hirata on his victory.
Hirata was handed over a cardboard box and inside it was a special bag made out of Haribo packaging. Hirata grabbed a bag inside a pulled it out, slowly revealing the Blue Right To Challenge Arm Cover was attached to it. As Hirata started to realize what was happening, behind him the black shadow that normally accompanies Yoshihiko placed the doll out of the ring and unmasked himself to reveal it was Yuki Ueno and this was him cashing in his title shot! Ueno grabbed Hirata in a Sleeper Hold and then confirmed he was getting his title match right now. Hirata did his best to survive and was able to kick out of Ueno’s moves. He also pulled out the Miracle One Shot Cradle but this time Ueno kicked out of it. Hirata tried using the move again and again but each repeated use became less effective until he reached the point of exhaustion. Ueno held up Hirata in something of a hug before using the WR to pin him and win back the KO-D Title.
And yet it didn’t end there. While Ueno and Hirata were patching things over, Kazuma Sumi suddenly ran down to the ring and launched a Missile Dropkick towards Ueno. He was armed with the last remaining Right To Challenge sleeve and was cashing it in so everyone in attendance was getting a second bonus KO-D Title match! Sumi came close to winning with a Canadian Destroyer followed by the School Boy. He also used an Imploding 450 Splash but Ueno kicked out of that too. Ueno halted Sumi’s drive with Dropkicks to the face along with the Himawari Bomb. It took the WR for him to put Sumi away and already score his first title defence right after he just won the belt. Ueno said this match made him feel just as happy as any of the other opponents he has defended the KO-D Title against in the past. Sumi explained it’s been three years since he debuted and he always wants to immediately take any opportunity that presents itself. So today his body felt like it moved on its own and he poured everything he had into this chance to become the champion.
So that’s it for this year’s Right To Challenge series. All four arm sleeves have been used and in the end Ueno is the last man standing with the KO-D Title. However a new challenger did make himself known. Minoru Suzuki entered the ring carrying the DDT Universal Title. He doesn’t have any automatic title shots but he still wants to take the KO-D Title for himself! Ueno told him this must be a coincidence going on because he also wants to take back the Universal Title from Suzuki! The two talked about having a match straight away until Hisaya Imabayashi interrupted them. The GM told them the show was running out of time but if they really want to do this match then it should be a double title bout at Sumo Hall on 3rd November! Suzuki gave a warning that he is close to completely dominating DDT. Ueno spoke about his mistake of inviting Suzuki to DDT in the first place and ever since then one of his goals has been to avenge that loss. He’ll make sure Suzuki won’t dominate DDT and will be driven out empty handed.
Suzuki’s path of domination through DDT happened in the semi-main event (which at this point was now three matches ago) when he put Takeshi Masada through misery. Suzuki brushed off the challenger’s early attacks and knocked him dizzy with a steel post attack outside the ring. He also attacked Masada with chairs and even a wrench before Masada made a comeback which included using moves from the other members of SCHADENFREUDE International. However Suzuki grabbed him in a Sleeper Hold to drain the energy out of his opponent until Masada gave up. Suzuki added insult to injury after the match by telling Masada he better put his life on the line if he’s ever going to pick a fight with him. A beaten Masada tried to get back at Suzuki but got another Elbow Strike for his troubles before being taken away. Suzuki explained backstage that he cannot be beaten with just brute force alone. You need to put your soul on the line from the moment you step into the ring, just like he does. Meanwhile Masada said he isn’t giving up and will definitely have another go at Suzuki.
The rise of “The Rampage” continues although he picked up some more noticeable bumps and bruises along the way. Today Kaisei Takechi has won his first pro wrestling championship! He teamed with Ueno & To-y from The 37KAMIINA to fight DAMNATION T.A over the vacant KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. The belts were vacated by DAMNATION T.A when Daisuke Sasaki got injured but Sasaki was at ringside for the match looking over his team. Hideki Okatani is really trying to establish himself as Takechi’s main enemy by attacking him with the bamboo stick while Sasaki hit Takechi’s leg with a chair next to the corner post. Sasaki also saw fit to attack Takechi in the ring with a chair but things went wrong for the heels when Ilusion missed the Swanton Bomb and was then hit with Okatani’s bamboo stick by accident. Takechi took control while his partners held Okatani & MJ Paul back. Then with one Swan Dive Forearm strike, Takechi pinned Ilusion to become a champion! He called the match the toughest fight he ever had and he’ll bring his title belt back to the LDH HQ so his boss can touch it. His next match in DDT will be at Korakuen on 19th October and DDT are hinting it will be the champion team’s first title defence. Ueno also mentioned to To-y & Takechi that there’s a fun idea he wants to do with them and the titles but he’ll talk to them later about it.
Evil Uno’s DDT debut came and went before he could even get into the ring. As he was making his entrance, his tag partner Danshoku Dieno decided to attack HARASHIMA straight away only to get rolled up in a Jackknife and get pinned. Imabayashi was furious because it’s bad enough when Hirata matches end like this but now it’s spreading to the rest of the locker room! This was an AEW star making his first appearance in DDT so he isn’t going to let anyone ruin it! Imabayashi apologized to Uno and allowed him to complete his entrance before the rematch began. HARASHIMA almost pinned Dieno again but Uno was there to break it up this time. Dieno was later put in the Hell Gate position with his rear end exposed but when Uno was thrown face first into it, his mask protected him from the exposure. So Jun Akiyama grabbed him by the mask, pulled it up past Uno’s mouth and shoved him back into Dieno’s hell gate. This time Uno was in danger and he fled the ring while HARASHIMA pinned Dieno with the Somato. Uno was in disbelief backstage. He came to DDT wanting to fight HARASHIMA & Akiyama but all he got out of it was the taste of rotten cheese stuck in his mouth!
A visiting Diego joined SCHADENFREUDE International’s side for today so there could be three of them to take on Harimao in a 6-Man Tag Match. It was also a warm up for Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida to get ready for their KO-D Tag Team Titles shot on 19th October. Antonio Honda used Gongitsune to stun the Harimao team and then got his own partners to join in the Bionic Elbow. But all of Harimao dodged the move and made the other team flinch with hand claps. Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura hit Honda with a Cross Bomber but Ishida failed to follow up by missing the Dosukoi Splash. Chris Brookes & Diego dealt damage to Ishida and left things up to Honda. But Ishida blocked Honda’s Diving Fist Drop and eventually pinned him with the Ensho. Ishida said he isn’t going to let this momentum stop. He is definitely going to win the tag titles with Higuchi!
The Survival 3 Way Match ended up playing a part in how the show ended the way it did. The rules allowed one wrestler from each team to be in the ring at all times and there were No Tag rules applied too for partners to swap in and out. The Apex were the first team eliminated despite being the KO-D Tag Champions. Strange Love Connection took out Yuki Iino with the Lariat-McEnroe combination but Yukio Naya gave KANON the Choke Slam. Sumi rolled up Naya with a School Boy only for KANON to push him away. MAO then pounced in and got Naya in his own roll up to get the three count! Since Naya was a Right To Challenge holder at the time that meant MAO had now won it off him. But the match was still continuing with SLC having to fight Akito & Sumi. MAO tried to vault over the referee to give Sumi a Cutter but Sumi instead turned it into a School Boy slam to pin him out of nowhere and win the Arm Cover!
The decision to have Yuya Koroku face Shinya Aoki one on one made more sense when it was announced the two of them would be teaming up at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025” to take on a NOAH team led by Tetsuya Endo. This single match was Koroku and Aoki going tit for tat against each other with the two impressing each other along the way. Koroku countered the European Clutch into a German Suplex and then went for the Triangle Lancer. But Aoki used his grappling knowledge to cradle his way out of the hold and pin Koroku for the victory.
In the dark match Rukiya took his first step of progress since coming back from injury by picking up the win for his team. Soma Takao wanted to teach Hinata Kasai how to get the crowd excited for the first match of the show but got more than he bargained for when Daichi Sato stepped in to face him. Rukiya was able to beat Kasai for the win but it took him using the Proto Bomb twice to get the pinfall after Kasai kicked out of it the first time.

-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Mahiro Kiryu defeated Haruna Neko (c) by Forfeit (7:45 pm).
*Mahiro Kiryu becomes the 1,770th champion.
Today was the day that Tokyo Joshi Pro would bid farewell to Haruna Neko but just like with other graduations in the past, some of the wrestlers who didn’t want her to leave decided to do something about it. Hyper Misao, Rika Tatsumi and Pom Harajuku formed a protest group to prevent Neko from graduating before the main event but Mahiro Kiryu forced everyone to go through with the match. Kiryu then used her apology spot in the match to say sorry for preventing them from stopping the graduation. Neko later got involved in the match, first when Tatsumi choked her over the ropes and then when Harajuku invited her into a strike exchange she was having with Kiryu. Misao then paused the match so she could give Neko one last message. She understands the situation Neko is in because she also suffered from knee injuries including one that required surgery. She also revealed that she wanted Neko to play the lead role in one of her “HYPE!” shows but Neko got injured before it could be set up. She asked Neko if they could wrestle each other one last time and Neko agreed. She then attacked Misao and her team with one of the protest signs, leaving Suzume & Kiryu to finish things off with Tatsumi & Harajuku.
After the match Kiryu spoke about how glad she is her team won and in honor of Neko she will protect the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title forever! Neko then scratched Kiryu over the face and tried to pin her but Kiryu kicked out. Harajuku kicked Kiryu in the shin so Neko could scratch and pin her again, this time with everyone else piling on top so Kiryu couldn’t kick out. Neko had now become the Iron Man Champion! However since Neko is about to graduate and she doesn’t want to worry about carrying around such a dangerous title, she told Daisuke Kiso she was surrendering the championship back to Kiryu. Kiso confirmed the decision so Kiryu is now the champ again.
The graduation ceremony then took place. Neko told the audience she was never particularly good at sports and doesn’t like to speak in front of so many people like this. But she made it this far thanks to the support and kindness of her fans. She also thanked everyone from the TJPW wrestlers to the staff for making her feel at ease for the past seven years. The ceremony ended with the 10 bell salute followed by her final ring introduction, which I think was actually the first time Rise Shirai ever got to announce her. As for what will happen next for Haruna, she said she is going to work for somebody she knows.
Match #5 was still promoted as the “main event” even though it was moved to the penultimate match spot of the card beneath Haruna’s final appearance. The match had both Miu Watanabe and Arisu Endo teaming up as champions as well as Watanabe’s first challenger Yuki Aino being on the other team. Watanabe said she could really feel Aino’s passion so she isn’t going to let her guard down. Autumn has arrived and she is expecting it to be a hot one! Aino is counting down the days to the Princess Of Princess Title match but she is taking her time since there will be several warm up matches between now and 18th October.
Wakana Uehara’s new Ripcord Spinning Facebuster like move now has a name. It is called the Sushi Tornado.
Misao hasn’t taken to losing the Princess Tag Team Titles very well and wasn’t in the mood to wrestle today. Shino Suzuki tried cheering her up by suggesting they compete against each other over something they both like. So they came up with rules based on a comedian they both liked named Gorgeous. He is a pirate who makes geography related jokes. The rule is when a wrestler gets a two count or rope break, they are given the name of a country and have ten seconds to find it on a globe. Suzuki couldn’t find Sweden or Paraguay and Misao couldn’t find Mexico. There was then a moment when Suzuki got a two count with a Backward Rolling Cradle but Misao then pinned her back with a Gedo Clutch. It was decided they could both get a chance at finding Madagascar. Suzuki couldn’t find it so the globe was handed over to Misao. She fumbled the globe but when she picked it back up, she found Madagascar and pointed at it to Kiso to win the match!
It was revealed at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI” that Yuki Kamifuku had been working with TJPW for years as a freelancer and she was now thinking of signing with the company on a full time basis. Today she confirmed a deal has been made and she is now officialy under contract with the promotion. She described her time with TJPW up to now as if it was like a couple that had lived together for years and met each other’s families but never went all the way with getting married. So think of this as Kamifuku finally popping the question and now becoming married to TJPW! Later backstage Sanshiro Takagi told reporters the story that Kamifuku originally came to TJPW from a talent agency whose manager he knew. Kamifuku was at a point where she was either going to become a pro wrestler or go work at a real estate agency. He is happy Kamifuku chose wrestling because she has become a valuable asset for TJPW. Tetsuya Koda also explained how Kamifuku was a TJPW regular in name only and that it was news to many fans that she was actually a freelancer all along. It was an ambiguous situation but one where nothing in particular is going to change for her going forward. Kamifuku said she thinks of Takagi like her wrestling father and Koda like her wrestling boss. Koda had to correct her because he really is her boss now.
