DDT “MENTAI WARS”, 12/04/2025
Fukuoka Nishitetsu Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Ilusion defeated Kazuma Sumi with with the Swanton Bomb (8:59).
2. Toru Owashi, Akito & Yuki Ishida defeated HARASHIMA, Azul Dragon & Kazuki Hirata when Akito submitted Hirata with an Overturned Figure 4 Leg Lock (0:11).
2a. Rematch: HARASHIMA, Azul Dragon & Kazuki Hirata defeated Toru Owashi, Akito & Yuki Ishida when HARASHIMA pinned Ishida with the Raging Fire (9:42).
3. Special Single Match: Hideki Okatani defeated Keigo Nakamura with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (9:16).
4. Jun Akiyama, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Soma Takao & Yukio Naya when Akiyama pinned Takao with an Inside Cradle (11:35).
5. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON defeated Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul when MAO pinned Paul with the Iai Kick (13:27).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, Danshoku Dieno & Takeshi Masada defeated Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y when Dieno submitted To-y with a Strong Arm Bar (18:46).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Kazuki Hirata defeated Shunma Katsumata (c) with a Hammer Attack (6:50 pm).
*Kazuki Hirata becomes the 1,742nd champion.
Danshoku Dieno was having a bad day. First he missed his flight to Fukuoka and had to pay 53,000 yen to change his travel plans and get to the show on time. Then when he arrived at the venue he overheard Shunma Katsumata, To-y and Kazuma Sumi all making fun of him in the hallway. Dieno got so mad that he ran in during the show opening NωA Jr. performance to attack Katsumata and Sumi. Yuki Ueno & To-y ran out to save Katsumata and attack Dieno. That then caused Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada to come out and chase away The 37KAMIINA. In the main event Dieno told everyone he would not use his Danshoku style during the match in order to prepare for Minoru Suzuki. Instead he fought more seriously and even made To-y submit to a strong style Arm Bar. He had finally calmed down once the match was over and told the fans that from here on out he will be gathering information to use in his upcoming match with Suzuki next month. Dieno then named his team today as Analfreude International.
It is now confirmed that the tag team of MAO & KANON is called STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION (I’m going to write it with regular caps from this point forward). They entered to the song “You Know How It Is” by Kero Kero Benito and successfully delivered their first blow on DAMNATION T.A by beating Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul cleanly. They already have a tag move too where MAO does the Whirlwind Kick to the opponent while KANON sweeps their leg with a low Lariat. MAO is so confident this team is going to work out he is already making shirts that he will give out to fans without KANON’s knowledge.
Last night in America, Konosuke Takeshita defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi on a New Japan USA show and used the Somato en route to winning the match. HARASHIMA found out about it and returned the favour back in Japan today. After he hit the Somato on Yuki Ishida he used the Raging Fire to get the win.
Ilusion has his sights on bringing the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles back to DAMNATION T.A. He said they only gave them up in the first place because of an “unwanted child”. Ilusion wants to challenge NωA Jr. for the titles with Sasaki & Hideki Okatani as his partners.
In the aftermath of the main event Kazuki Hirata snuck up behind Katsumata, knocked him out with a hammer and pinned him to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 IN SHINJUKU”, 11/04/2025
Shinjuku FACE
288 Fans
1. Mifu Ashida defeated Chika Nanase with the German Suplex (6:27).
2. 3 Way Match: Kaya Toribami defeated Moka Miyamoto and Kira Summer when Toribami pinned Summer with a Cradle (7:26).
3. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Mahiro Kiryu, Haruna Neko & Ivy Steele when Aino pinned Steele with the Venus DDT (9:31).
4. Rika Tatsumi defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Missile Hip (9:27).
5. Suzume, Arisu Endo & Uta Takami defeated Haru Kazashiro, HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki when Suzume pinned Suzuki with the Ring A Bell (10:46).
6. Miu Watanabe defeated Toga with the Reverse Paradox (8:55).
7. Mizuki, Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Miyu Yamashita, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara when Mizuki pinned Yamashita with the Aquamarine (11:30).
One last big preview for Las Vegas next week was on display in the main event. It was the Princess Of Princess Champion and the Princess Tag Team Champions joining forces against their challengers. Shoko Nakajima was back from America and had her newly won MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title with her. Hyper Misao wanted to start the match with handshakes but the challenger team knew what was coming and defended themselves. The champion team got the upper hand anyway and manipulated Miyu Yamashita into kicking Wakana Uehara away from her. Misao blinded Yamashita with a spray and rolled her up into one of the ringside mats. But Yamashita escaped, trapped Misao into the mat and Penalty Kicked her at ringside. Misao later took out Yuki Kamifuku with the Gotham Crush but Nakajima was thrown aside by a Snap Suplex from Uehara. The match came down to Mizuki ducking under Yamashita’s Skull Kick and rolling her up with the Aquamarine to get the big victory.
Yamashita left the ring in defeat while Kyoraku Kyomei and Ober Eats shared some last words with each other in the ring. Mizuki says she knows Yamashita is frustrated by today’s result because she herself was frustrated when Yamashita pinned her in Nagoya last month. She got one back today and promised she will never lose to the monster again! Backstage Misao said she will be leaving for Vegas with a fresh mind because of today’s win. Nakajima said she’ll be visiting America more often this year because of the MLW Women’s Title so she definitely wants to win in Vegas. Kamifuku has noticed how much stronger and even darker Kyoraku Kyomei have become but she has a theory that they are actually weaker when they are on American soil. America suits Ober Eats better because Kamifuku & Uehara both like American junk food. Yamashita was surprised by how Mizuki beat her today but that motivates her and now she’s more excited for the title match. She asked Kamifuku to go warn her that Yamashita is scary.
Everyone also cut their final promos for the Las Vegas show in English. Yamashita said she will never give up and will start “kicking showtime.” Kamifuku said Ober Eats will bring the fans happiness and Uehara promised they will get the belts. Nakajima said she’s going to Vegas because she likes money, Misao is sure Kyoraku Kyomei will win and Mizuki told Yamashita to go to hell!
Two title matches were announced for the Golden Week shows in May. First Yuki Kamifuku will be defending her VPW Women’s Title against the returning Viva Van on the 3rd May show in Yokohama. Then on 5th May in Osaka whoever the Princess Tag Champions are coming out of Vegas will put the belts on the line against the “SEA STORM” of Matcha & Alexis Lee! The two Southeast Asian wrestlers are tired of TJPW taking their championships from them that they want to give the company a taste of their own medicine!
Maki Itoh wasn’t on the show today because she was feeling in poor condition. I don’t blame her. Fighting Jun Kasai in a quasi-death match out in the cold on a Wednesday night isn’t something you’d immediately recover from. A few of the undercard matches were switched around because of her absence.

GANBARE☆PRO “MAD MAX 2025 ~ GANBARE☆PRO WRESTLING 12TH ANNIVERSARY BOX OFFICE”, 11/04/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

5. Special Single Match: Masaaki Mochizuki defeated Ken Ohka with a Buzzsaw Kick (10:44).
6. Special Tag Team Match: Yuji Nagata & Tatsuhito Takaiwa defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Keisuke Ishii when Nagata pinned Katsumura with the Back Drop Hold (14:19).
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Yumehito Imanari (c) defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with the Lariat (20:32).
*V4 for Yumehito Imanari.
After 16 months away from pro wrestling’s sacred venue, Ganbare☆Pro finally returned to Korakuen Hall today for the first time since becoming an independent company away from CyberFight. When the dust settled in the main event, Yumehito Imanari remained as the man to continue leading GanPro as its champion. His match against Shinichiro Tominaga came down to Power Bombs and Lariats with neither wanting to stay down for the count. Imanari’s Lariat turned out to be the stronger one and he was able to put Tominaga away to keep the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title. Imanari told Tominaga it’s been 15 years since they were struggling amateur pro wrestlers trying to make a documentary together and it is a miracle that both of them just headlined a Korakuen show together. He wants to savor the afterglow of today before he thinks about who should challenge him next. Tominaga pointed out this was only his third match since returning from his torn Achilles tendon back in January and everyone’s hard work pushed him forward towards giving 120% today.
Yuji Nagata was feeling pumped up to wrestle on the show. One of his opponents Shuichiro Katsumata was looking to get revenge on him for losing an MMA fight to his brother Katsuhiko Nagata way back in 2006. But he had to deal with Tatsuhito Takaiwa too and even with Keisuke Ishii’s help couldn’t take it. Takaiwa gave Katsumura the Death Valley Bomb, Nagata hit him with a Knee Strike and then got the win with the Back Drop Hold. Nagata then offered to shake Ishii’s hand after the match but Ishii slapped it away. Nagata told reporters he remembers the MMA fight his brother had with Katsumura but he never knew Katsumura became a pro wrestler until his first time working with GanPro last year. He also remembered it’s been over 20 years since he last teamed up with Takaiwa. He has fond memories of them going out drinking and Takaiwa laughing at Nagata’s belly getting bloated from drinking so much. After three decades of wrestling he wants to experience more kinds of pro wrestling which is why he’s been taking more bookings outside of New Japan lately.
Bad memories of Ken Ohka’s days training under the Toryumon banner swirled through his head when he fought Masaaki Mochizuki. Unfortunately Mochizuki cannot say the same because he didn’t even know Ohka was there back then. But he knows Ohka has been involved with wrestling for around 25 years now so he should forget about that past and focus on what he is representing in the present. Ohka’s not the only one who is getting old so Mochizuki wants to know if he wants to continue fighting him? Ohka gave him a slap in response. Mochizuki then said he’s not the kind of person who hits people back when provoked but if the GanPro fans enjoyed today’s match then maybe they can do it again in front of a younger audience at Dragongate.
There was a reunion of Stardom’s 5th Generation when Yuna Manase invited Koguma & Hazuki over to face a trio representing the Ganbare☆Joshi division. She also remembered her “little sister” Ami Manase was back in GanPro after a long absence. FWC did their thing to keep YuuRI & Moeka Haruhi at bay while Yuna pinned her masked “sister” with a Lariat. Manase thanked FWC and Stardom’s president for letting the two of them come to wrestle in GanPro today even when Stardom had a show of their own happening in Aichi. Hazuki was happy to team up with Manase but Koguma said next time she would like FWC to wrestle against her. Manase likes the idea and thinks a tag match like that would do YuuRI some good too. She’ll think about it because maybe it can be something that can be done for GanJo in the future.
It doesn’t seem like anyone could come back from a ruptures Achilles tendon injury in just four months but Mizuki Watase did just that. He didn’t want to take it easy just because his first match back was an 8-Man Tag either. He got the win by pinning Shota Kawakami with the Modified TTD and was then welcomed back by Shigehiro Irie. The two of them are still the reigning Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Champions so they want to start defending them again soon. Watase said he wants to defend the titles at four times the normal speed to make up for lost time. Yasu Urano & PSYCHO overheard their comments and asked if Watase is really at 100%. Watase said his injury is totally fine but he is feeling pain from his muscles cramping up. Urano then challenged him for the SOG Tag Titles and wants the match to happen as soon as possible. They’ll have to wait a while but the two teams agreed to have the title match on 5th May.
The fighting between Toru Sugiura & Munetatsu Nakamura and the Hentai Punch Drunkers got so heated that it kept going once the match had finished. Nakamura tried to give Hikaru Sato the German Suplex but Tyson Maeguchi cut him off with an Enzuigiri and Sato stretched him out with the Arm Bar for the win. But even though the music played, the two sides kept fighting.
HARUZAKE still has not won a match by herself ever since GanPro went independent. With only a few matches left until she takes a break from pro wrestling she has come up with a drastic decision for her final match. There is only one person in the world she thinks she can beat now and that’s Ken Ohka! They will have a singles match against each other on 5th May.
The next time GanPro is in Korakuen Hall will be on 26th August. The main event will be Mizuki Watase’s 10th anniversary match. He will face Jun Kasai in a Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match!

M&A “SANSHIRO TAKAGI 30TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT ~MATCHMAKE & AGENT~”, 09/04/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced

2. Special Tag Match: Yumiko Hotta & Miku Kanae defeated Mio Shirai & Saran when Hotta pinned Saran with a Lariat (12:08).

6. Special Single Match: Jun Kasai defeated Maki Itoh with the Pearl Harbor Splash (17:17).
7. Special Tag Match – Falls Count Anywhere Match: Yuji Nagata & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan defeated Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei when Nagata submitted Kei with the Arm Lock (16:36).
The recent stretch of wrestling events held at Tokyo Ueno Park was completed today with the debut show for MatchMake & Agent Pro Wrestling. The series was put together by Sanshiro Takagi to celebrate his 30th anniversary in wrestling this year by booking shows without using full time DDT talent. The planned schedule is to run these kind of shows once every two months at least for the rest of the year. With a wide range of connections at his disposal Takagi put together an entire card of first times matchups. He also treated the show like a startup and due to a lack of staff decided to work as a ringside attendant for every match today.
The main event was revealed to be a Falls Count Anywhere match right before it begun. Yuji Nagata & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan continued their new Ikemen tag team and fought fire with fire against The Brahman Brothers. Kuroshio played the song “Keep On Journey” by The Sailor Boys over the speakers to cause massive pcychic damage to The Brahmans (they hate to be reminded of that gimmick). Takagi got caught in the crossfire and ended up getting a bucket of ink poured over his head while Kuroshio and Brahman Shu was fighting over it. Brahman Kei regurgitated green goo from his mouth and drooled it over Nagata. But Nagata grabbed him in the Arm Lock, went into his trance and started regurgitating blue goo from his mouth in response! Kei had no way to combat this and had to give up.
After the match Kuroshio said today he learned that Nagata is the best in the industry and also the best ikemen. He gave Nagata his jacket for him to pose in for the fans when Takagi interrupted them. He told Nagata there is someone backstage who really wants to fight him. It’s Ken Ohka! After Ohka made his entrance he told Nagata he created Ganbare☆Pro 11 years ago to turn pro wrestling into a major sport but he also wanted to be a great wrestler ever since he ws a child. That dream never came true but he wants to challenge “Mr. IWGP” anyway. Takagi confirmed the match will happen on 25th June.
The match between Maki Itoh and Jun Kasai was supposed to be held under normal rules but the two of them treated it like a Hardcore Match. Itoh used her pizza cutter to draw blood from Kasai’s foreheard. Kasai brought out a forkboard only for Itoh to Power Bomb him onto it. Itoh then felt the pain when Kasai stuck a bundle of bamboo skewers onto her head and hit a Lariat. Itoh kicked out of the Reverse Tiger Driver and stuck up her middle finger. Kasai got a kick out of that and shouted out El Desperado’s name before giving Itoh the Pinche Loco. He then won with the Pearl Harbor Splash. He told Itoh afterwards he was going to stick her middle finger up her nose but he isn’t in the mood now. Instead he will raise his index finger to Itoh because she is the No. 1 entertainer wrestler! Itoh said she will definitely surpass Kasai someday. She also said the fans in attendance must be really weird people to come out to a place like this on a Wednesday night. But no matter what happens he encourages them to stick up the middle finger in their hearts.
The KO-D Tag Team Titles match fell apart when the referee kept getting attacked by the wrestlers and put in submissions holds. With him out of the way. Astronauts and SEX-MEN ended up fighting around ringside. During the chaos Hikaru Sato disappeared only for Takagi to show up wearing his wrestling gear and take his place! Takagi & Munenori Sawa teamed up for the first time in years but Astronauts easily launched a counter attack and won the match when Fuminori Abe made his mentor Sawa give up to the O-Manjigatame. Takuya Nomura said they still have a long way to go to break the championship record for most defences. Abe suggested they go find some old guys and beat them.
Panda defeated snake on Match #4. Poison Sawada JULIE was able to stun Andreza Giant Panda with his snake magic but it could only work for so long until Andreza Headbutted him and won with a Body Press. JULIE got a little measure of revenge on Takagi after the match by using his snake magic to throw him to the canvas.
The show introduced Takagi’s attempt at copying the WWE Speed formula called 3 Minutes Impact. Shigehiro Irie defeated Ryoma Tsukamoto in a match Takagi recorded on his phone to stream on DDT’s Twitter account.
Mio Shirai was quickly put into an irritated mood for her match, complaining about Takagi missing Yumiko Hotta’s chain while taking away her entrance gear and calling Miku Kanae ugly while fighting her. She also kept breaking up Hotta’s pins on Saran but Hotta was able to get the win in the end. Hotta praised Shirai for her performance after the match and said she was right to come back to wrestling. She admits she even could have lost to her today if she underestimated her. The two agreed to fight again some day.
The spirit of Dory Funk Jr. was on display in the opening match when Mikiya Sasaki used that kind of moveset against Shota. In a back and forth match Shota countered a Sleeper Hold into a Roll Up to get the win. Sasaki was still in Dory Funk mode after the match and hit Shota with a series of Dory style punches.
At the start of the show Takagi announced that Suwama Vs Muscle Sakai will happen on the 25th June show.

DDT “D GENERATIONS 1”, 08/04/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Oji Shiiba defeated Yuni with the Ungai Soten (8:43).
2. Special Single Match: Daichi Kazato defeated Keigo Nakamura with the Rocket Punch (7:08).
3. Takeshi Masada & Yuki Ishida defeated Munetatsu Nakamura & Ali Najima when Masada pinned Nakamura with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (12:07).
4. Special Tag Match: Soma Takao & Shota defeated Yuya Koroku & Kazuma Sumi when Takao pinned Sumi with the Gin And Tonic (10:34).
5. Special Single Match: Shigehiro Irie defeated Daichi Sato with the Beast Bomber (15:00).
6. Special Single Match: Keisuke Ishii defeated To-y with the Spinning Body Bomb (11:35).
The first edition of the new “D GENERATIONS” sub-series showed just high a mountain there is for DDT’s young wrestlers to climb. In the six matches pitting the D GENERATION against veterans and outsiders they were only able to win one match. It is a challenge that their predecessors from the Young Communication generation faced back when they ran shows similar to this for little to no money. Keisuke Ishii made it clear after the main event that his generation have the pride needed to win their matches today. The D GENERATIONS though are too dependant on DDT and the softer modern day wrestling environment. If any of the D GENERATION wrestlers were to step outside of DDT, would they be able to survive in this industry for five or ten years? The veterans here don’t think so. The complaints from Ishii, Soma Takao, Shota and Shigehiro Irie at the end of the show caused a standoff to happen between the two generations in the ring. The likes of To-y and Keigo Nakamura said they don’t care about the past or about money. This series is for the young wrestlers to show their dreams to everyone. They also would like to make a little profit and fill out the seats at the same time.
There was a press conference put together on short notice for Keigo Nakamura to make an announcement. He is going on an indefinite overseas excursion! Over the last few months Nakamura has lost important matches in places like the DDT Vs NOAH rivalry, the D GENERATIONS CUP and most recently the KO-D Tag Team Titles challenge with Shinya Aoki. By the way he hasn’t told Aoki about this plan yet. Nakamura feels like he has reached a turning point and needs to make a change which is why he will travel abroad for training. He will be doing it independantly so he can grow by himself. His final match in Japan before going on excursion will be at the 23rd April DDT show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 IN FUKUOKA”, 06/04/2025
Acros Fukuoka
335 Fans
1. Moka Miyamoto defeated Mifu Ashida with the Rashomon (6:32).
2. Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa & Chika Nanase when Kiryu pinned Nanase with the Spinebuster (8:16).
3. 3 Way Match: Raku defeated Kaya Toribami and Shino Suzuki when Raku pinned Suzuki with the Hurricane Turn (7:00).
4. Rika Tatsumi & Toga defeated Kira Summer & Ivy Steele when Tatsumi pinned Summer with the Twist Of Fate (9:37).
5. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Miu Watanabe & Uta Takami when Suzume pinned Takami with the Ring A Bell (11:53).
6. Mizuki & Aja Kong defeated Hyper Misao & Pom Harajuku when Kong pinned Harajuku with the Back Drop (11:46).
7. Maki Itoh, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Miyu Yamashita, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro when Itoh submitted Kazashiro with the Itoh Deluxe (13:27).
It was only fitting that Fukuoka was the location of 121000000’s first match against each other since splitting up. The two hometown girls Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh opened up the match and had an intense back and forth before both tagging out. They had more exchanges in the match but others got in the way. Ober Eats tried working out a Double Flapjack together but Yamashita kicked both Wakana Uehara & Yuki Kamifuku away. But it was Itoh who scored the victory for her team by making Haru Kazashiro submit to the Itoh Deluxe while Yamashita & Yuki Aino were unable to make the save. Itoh gave the microphone to Yamashita after the match to say some words before taking it back to close out the show herself. She got the crowd to call Yamashita the second cutest in the world while Itoh is still the cutest. Backstage Itoh brought up that she and Yamashita are having a singles match in GCW next month. She feels like she cannot lose to her there.
Hyper Misao thought it was unfair that Mizuki got to team up with Aja Kong so she & Pom Harajuku tried bribing Kong with rice crackers to join their side. They also made custom superhero masks for the three of them to wear. Kong declined the offer and hit Misao with the box of crackers while Mizuki stole Harajuku’s shoes. Mizuki also brought a Pico Pico Hammer into the ring. Misao used the Hero Spray to blind Mizuki, causing her to blindly swing the Hammer around in the ring. Kong hit Mizuki over the head with a steel can to stop her. Mizuki regained her sight and used the Hammer to knock the spray can out of Misao’s hands. Kong then knocked out Harajuku with the steel can and pinned her with the Back Drop. Kong assured Mizuki she was never going to turn on her because Kong was teaming with a champion while Misao only wanted to make people look funny wearing the mask. She encouraged Mizuki to go beat Yamashita to a pulp in America.

0. Dark Match: MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated Toru Owashi & Antonio Honda when Ilusion pinned Honda with the Swanton Bomb (7:30).
1. Naomi Yoshimura’s Return Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida defeated Yukio Naya, To-y, Takeshi Masada & JJ Furno when Higuchi pinned Furno with the Claw Slam (8:26).
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi defeated MAO, Kazuki Hirata & Kumadori when Katsumata pinned Hirata with an Inside Cradle (9:53).

5. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & Yuki Ueno Vs HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno ended in a Double Countout (13:29).
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) defeated Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura when Abe pinned Nakamura with the O-Manji Clutch (11:46).
*V1 for Astronauts.
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) defeated Yuya Koroku with the Praying Mantis Bomb (23:38).
*V4 for Chris Brookes.
Today was Yuya Koroku’s big chance to step up and prove to Chris Brookes that he is not a generic Tetsuya Endo but the man who will lead DDT’s new generation. He didn’t have Brookes’s respect at the start though. Brookes threw a chair at him to stop a dive and targeted the leg to keep him grounded. When Koroku found an opening to go on the attack he went after Brookes’s arm. However the damage done to his leg came back to haunt him when he did the Sky Twister Press and was slow enough to go for the cover that Brookes could kick out of it. The frustration got to Koroku and he shouted “I am not Endo”, leaving his guard down for Brookes to slap him senseless. From there Brookes did the Somato but Koroku kicked out at one. Brookes then stunned Koroku with a Buzzsaw Kick and pinned him with the Praying Mantis Bomb to retain the KO-D Openweight Title.
After the match Brookes finally paid Koroku some respect. He spent all this time badmouthing him but admitted today was fun. Now Brookes is looking forward to winning this year’s King Of DDT so he can choose his next challenger for the KO-D Title. He celebrated the win by sharing drinks with Antonio Honda & Takeshi Honda. They brought a spare can into the ring for the injured Masahiro Takanashi. Backstage the three of them wondered what could happen if the King Of DDT final is between two wrestlers from SCHADENFREUDE International? Meanwhile Koroku said he has learned something from this period of his career. Between this title match and getting to wrestle in New Japan a few days ago, he realized he can’t think of himself as a junior wrestler forever. Today he fought to the end believing in the wrestling he loves. He promises he will come back to this stage and win the KO-D Title.
A tough challenge was given to Astronauts for their first KO-D Tag Team Titles defence. Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura has been working well together as a teacher and student pairing. They also matched the champions strike for strike, hold for hold. There was a moment where Fuminori Abe put Nakamura in the Manjigatame so Aoki did the same to Takuya Nomura. The two then had a strike exchange while still applying the submission holds on the others. Aoki & Nakamura got the upper hand by giving Astronauts stereo Piledrivers. But when Nakamura went to finish Abe off with the Full Nelson Hold, Abe countered it into the O-Manjigatame and modified the submission into a cradle to pin Nakamura for the three count. Astronauts now want to break the record for most KO-D Tag Title defences but found out the current record is held by Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa at 12 wins. Astronauts just so happen to have a tag match against Sawa & Hikaru Sato (together known as SEX-MEN) coming up at Takagi’s MatchMake & Agent show on Wednesday so they now want to make it a title match!
It’s not often when Minoru Suzuki meets his match in the wrestling ring. It’s even more weird when the person he’s in a stalemate with is Danshoku Dieno! Suzuki did not want to deal with Dieno’s usual shenanigans during their tag match. He asked Dieno if he wants to do the same stuff he’s been doing for 20 years or if he wants to fight? Dieno took Suzuki’s comments to heart and decided to pull his tights back up in order to give Suzuki the serious fight he’s been asking for. The two of them tangled themselves into dueling Leg Locks that rolled them out of the ring. They brawled up among the fans while HARASHIMA and Yuki Ueno fought each other by the stage. As the referee was reaching the 20 count, HARASHIMA & Ueno rushed back into the ring. However neither of them were the legal man meaning Dieno and Suzuki got each other counted out for a draw!
Both were still hurting from the fight when they got back into the ring. Dieno straight up told Suzuki he wants to keep fighting so he challenged him to a singles match. Suzuki wanted to know what is with this company when they’re first putting him in a match against a doll and now in a match with Dieno? At least he enjoys teaming with Ueno and would be happy to keep doing that. He can’t tell if Dieno is serious because fighting Suzuki one on one means it is a fight to the death! Dieno understands that and is willing to throw away the Danshoku moveset so he can have a match with Suzuki. Hisaya Imabayashi agreed to book it for 25th May. Dieno then had a close staredown with Suzuki and resisted the temptation to give him the Lip Lock. Then when Suzuki left the ring Yoshihiko appeared from the balcony and lowered itself down to the entrance aisle. Suzuki no sold it and pushed Yoshihiko aside as he walked back to the locker room.
KANON showed up for his Handicap Match against DAMNATION T.A in new ring gear to show he is now fully separated from the unit. Hideki Okatani also had new gear for his comeback match but that was to show he has fully embraced becoming DAMNATION T.A’s newest member. The match was supposed to be just KANON fighting both Okatani & Daisuke Sasaki but the other DAMNATION T.A members unsurprisingly got involved. MJ Paul and Ilusion did what they could to interfere while Sasaki distracted the referee. KANON put up a valiant fight until Sasaki hit him with a chair and Okatani pinned him with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster.
After the match Sasaki said KANON is no longer of any interest to them but Okatani wanted to give him one last finishing blow. KANON blocked Okatani’s chair attack but couldn’t fight back against the numbers. Suddenly a mystery person looking like Kyonin Shihan from IWA Japan ran into the ring and cleared DAMNATION T.A out of it. The person then turned to KANON and offered to help him stand back up. He then removed his disguise to reveal he is MAO! KANON accepted his help and the two left ringside together. Backstage MAO explained that KANON is not an unwanted child because MAO needs him. He always wanted them to team up because KANON is the only one he feels can help him turn DDT upside down in one go. KANON noted that MAO has a busy schedule coming up so while MAO is away, KANON promises he will become somebody worthy enough to be by his side. MAO said they can spread a Strange Love Connection across wrestling. KANON misunderstood and said he only knows “Bad Communication”…
Young Daichi Sato is now DDT’s latest signing so leave it up to Jun Akiyama to try and kill him on his first day. Akiyama gave him a Piledriver, threw him into the corner post, hit him with Knee Strikes including one with the kneepad pulled down and also made contact with a Headbutt. Sato got to show how tough he is to kick out of pins and fight back with Middle Kicks but Akiyama eventually put him down with the Exploder Suplex. He encouraged Sato to get back up under his own power after the match. Sato did so and hit Akiyama with an Elbow Strike. Akiyama ignored it and walked off. He told reporters backstage that Sato needs to build up more stamina because if he can throw a Forearm Strike after the match then he should have done it during the match. Sato admits he was no match against Akiyama but he wants to grow in DDT and become a wrestler who will surpass Akiyama.
The masked dancer Kumadori returned to DDT for his second ever wrestling match. He had to deal with NωA Jr. who felt his abilities were overshadowing their own musical talent. Kazuki Hirata was on Kumadori’s team but put forth such a weak performance he came close to costing his team the win on several occasions. But when Shunma Katsumata declared that the era of TOKYO GO! is over, Hirata found it in himself to fight back with the power of dance. Yuni & Kazuma Sumi joined Katsumata for a singalong but that was countered by MAO & Kumadori joining in with Hirata’s dancing. A dance battle broke out between the two teams and Katsumata succeeded in pinning Hirata with an Inside Cradle for the victory.
After the match Katsumata signaled to Kumadori that he wants to wrestle him again. He then announced that NωA Jr.’s second single called “Oshi Towel de Blow Off Lucha♪” will be released on 6th May. Suddenly Sanshiro Takagi came out and told NωA Jr. the harsh reality. They made 10,000 copies of their first single and only sold 800 of them. The reason for that is because the unit does not have a clear goal. Takagi came up with a solution because he wants to see NωA Jr. win the New Artist Award at the next Japan Record Awards. So Takagi booked an NωA Jr. at Shinjuku Loft on 23rd December and their goal is to sell it out!
All of Harimao were reunited for Naomi Yoshimura’s long awaited return from injury. Yukio Naya wasted no time in calling Yoshimura to start the match against him. To-y was eager to get “T! O! Y!” chants going but Ryota Nakatsu wanted to replace it with “N! K! T!” chants. Takeshi Masada Power Bombed Yuki Ishida into the turnbuckles but was thrown aside by Yoshimura with the Harai Goshi. JJ Furno came close to winning when he hit the Firebird Splash on Kazusada Higuchi but the count was broken up by the rest of Harimao. Higuchi then caught Furno on a dive and gave him the Claw Slam for the finish. It was as good a result that Harimao could ask for because Yoshimura is back and Higuchi got his first direct win since returning too. Yoshimura said his goal is to help Harimao in both DDT and BASARA. This match was Furno’s last appearance in DDT for this tour. He is sure this isn’t the end of him coming here. He says next time he comes to DDT he won’t be coming alone.
In the dark match Toru Owashi wanted to show off his lucha skills against DAMNATION T.A. Honda tried to use the power of love by forming a heart with Owashi using their hands. Paul & Ilusion attacked them only to almost embrace with each other. Honda’s plan didn’t work in the end. Instead Paul & Ilusion squashed him with a Double Body Press and Ilusion went on to pin him with the Swanton Bomb.
The show ended with the King Of DDT 1st Round matches begin announced. The matches taking place on 6th May are Antonio Honda Vs Yuki Ueno, Daisuke Sasaki Vs Akito, KANON Vs Shunma Katsumata, Yukio Naya Vs Daichi Sato, Hideki Okatani Vs To-y, Chris Brookes Vs HARASHIMA, Takeshi Masada Vs Yuya Koroku and Shinya Aoki Vs Kazusada Higuchi.

5. NEVER Openweight Title: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA (c) defeated Ryohei Oiwa with the Raging Fire (12:54).
*V5 for KONOSUKE TAKESHITA.
Two DDT related stories came from today’s New Japan show at Sumo Hall. First, Konosuke Takeshita set the record for the most successful NEVER Openweight Title defences in a single reign after he beat Ryohei Oiwa. The TMDK wrestler went after Takeshita’s left arm and made him fight to get it back. The damage done stayed with him when he did big moves like an Avalanche Brainbuster. Oiwa got a nearfall with a Doctor Bomb while Takeshita relied on throwing Lariats and Elbow Strikes with his right arm to wear him down. Takeshita was able to win in the end by using the Raging Fire and he held the NEVER Title above Oiwa after the match.
For the backstage comments Oiwa said he is not happy that the current NEVER Champion is somebody who does not wrestle on New Japan’s regional tours and only shows up for the big events like today. He is going to reflect on today’s match and figure out how to climb back up from the bottom. Takeshita said he likes Oiwa’s wrestling style but he decided he will become the best in the world by using his own. Now Takeshita’s focus is on Hiroshi Tanahashi for their match in America next week. He will put their long story to an end and questions if Tanahashi still has any shine left. If he does then Takeshita will erase it!
The other DDT related story is the announcement of MAO entering this year’s Best Of The Super Jr. tournament! The 32nd edition of the famous junior heavyweight tournament revealed its field of 20 competitors today and MAO was among them. He had already teased this after wrestling on yesterday’s New Japan show when he told fans they will see him again in May. The tournament schedule starts on 10th May and lasts until 1st June.

1. Kaya Toribami defeated Uta Takami with the Bird Cage (6:58).
2. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Mahiro Kiryu, Moka Miyamoto & Chika Nanase when Raku submitted Nanase with the Front Neck Lock (8:43).
3. Rika Tatsumi defeated Mifu Ashida with the Figure 4 Leg Lock (7:49).
4. Miu Watanabe, Haru Kazashiro & Toga defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Kira Summer & Ivy Steele when Watanabe submitted Steele with the Reverse Paradox (11:30).
5. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Hyper Misao & Haruna Neko when Suzume pinned Neko with the Ring A Bell (8:26).
6. Miyu Yamashita defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Skull Kick (11:53).
7. Mizuki & Wakana Uehara defeated Maki Itoh & Shino Suzuki when Mizuki pinned Suzuki with the Cutie Special (12:56).
If you ever need someone to give you a little push in the right direction, Maki Itoh will be happy to do it literally. Shino Suzuki was encouraged to do a dive from the ring apron onto her opponents standing outside the ring but she was too scared to do it. So Itoh made her do it with a kick that knocked her off the apron. Mizuki & Wakana Uehara easily dodged it and Suzuki crashed onto the ground. Back in the ring Suzuki gave Mizuki a Belly-To-Belly Suplex and applied the Sleeper Hold. Mizuki was able to get out of it and pin Suzuki with the Cutie Special. After the match Suzuki said she is surprised by how strong Suzuki has gotten and Itoh was the same as always. She wants to continue bringing the kind of wrestling that makes fans look forward to tomorrow but first she’s going to eat some delicious food with Uehara.
Yoshiko Hasegawa understood she had little to no chance of beating Miyu Yamashita but wanted today’s match to happen before she retires from wrestling later this July. She targeted Yamashita’s legs with Dropkicks and also went for the Muffler Hold but had to let go after a rope break. Yamashita fought back with a High Kick and the Attitude Adjustment. She then won with the Skull Kick. Hasegawa described wrestling Yamashita like she was seeing a monster in front of her but it is still an experience she will cherish. Yamashita will be on her American tour when Hasegawa’s graduation from Tokyo Joshi Pro takes place so she is glad they got to have their match today.

Both Yuya Koroku & Keigo Nakamura are feeling in good spirits heading into their respective championship matches this Sunday. Nakamura told the fans that the roll up technique he’s been using to win matches will be used to win the KO-D Tag Team Titles from Astronauts and bring the belts back to DDT. He and Koroku also promoted the first “D GENERATIONS” show happening on 8th April.
A few days ago To-y was abducted by a mysterious person backstage after a DDT show. The person was Dr. Ueno and he transformed To-y into Mecha To-y! Together they fought Kazuki Hirata but just like Mecha Mummy, water was its fatal weakness. Hirata spat water into Mecha To-y making it malfunction. Chris Brookes had to place the faulty robot onto a trolley and wheel it back into the locker room.
NωA Jr. continue to use their song performances at the start of the show as an excuse to roll up each other for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. The belt changed hands from Yuni to Kazuma Sumi back to Yuni and then to Shunma Katsumata all within one song.
