BASARA “KANRA TOWN 65TH ANNIVERSARY – KANRA PRO WRESTLING FESTIVAL”, 29/09/2024
Gunma Kanra Junior High School Gymnasium
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Yujiro Yamamoto defeated Takeru Inoue with the Wakigatame (4:33).
2. Ryota Nakatsu & Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & SAGAT when Nakatsu pinned SAGAT with a Back Roll Clutch Hold (11:58).
3. Banana Senga & Ryota Hama defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato when Hama pinned Kazato with the Hamaketsu (8:21).

5. Isami Kodaka, Minoru Fujita & MAZADA defeated Ryuichi Sekine, Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Fujita pinned Sekine with the Tombstone Piledriver (16:01).
6. Hideki “Shrek” Sekine defeated FUMA with the Atomic Bomb (18:34).
FUMA found the strength to use a Brainbuster and German Suplex on the much larger Hideki Sekine but the result he wanted was just out of reach. Sekine countered a Triangle Choke by throwing him off Power Bomb style, knocked down FUMA with a Lariat and then picked him up to finish him off with the Atomic Bomb German Suplex. After the match FUMA told Sekine he admires him for having a double career as both a policeman and martial artist. FUMA is trying to do the same by being a farmer and pro wrestler at the same time. FUMA also said he would like to hold a BASARA show in Kanra Town again for a third time next year.

5. DDT Extreme Title – IPPON Lighttube Tag Team Death Match: Akito & Yuni defeated Shunma Katsumata (c) & Kazuma Sumi by IPPON when Yuni did a Diving Foot Stomp to Katsumata on the Lighttube (15:02).
*Shunma Katsumata fails in V7. Akito becomes the 60th DDT Extreme Champion!
6. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Iino (c) defeated Yukio Naya with the Spear (17:04).
*V1 for Yuki Iino.
7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Kaisei Takechi defeated Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Takeshi Masada when Ueno pinned Masada with the WR (25:11).
For the second time this year DDT can thank Kaisei Takechi for getting them a sold out Korakuen Hall. Seven months after his impressive debut, Takechi was back to have another match. He was with Yuki Ueno and The 37KAMIINA again this time with MAO along for the ride. Takeshi Masada was a familiar opponent from last time but now he’s a part of SCHADENFREUDE International. And when you get SCHADENFREUDE you get the antics of Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi to deal with. They used the rubber band spot on him from across the room and Brookes threw Takechi’s into the iron rails at ringside. Brookes also beat Takechi’s chest red with Chops. However Takechi fought back by hitting a No Touch Topé Con Hilo onto everyone outside the ring and then giving Brookes a Choke Slam. The match then came down to Ueno pinned Masada with the WR ensuring that Masada is still unbeaten after two matches.
After the match Masada wanted to keep fighting Takechi even though he lost. Brookes though calmed things down and even shook Takechi’s hand. Takechi said he is still new at wrestling and does not want to stop here. Makoto Oishi is one of his mentors and he heard Oishi’s final match with DDT is on 3rd October. Takechi wants to have a match with Oishi on that show even though he knows Oishi is already booked for a KO-D Tag Team Titles match. Oishi thought about it. He pointed out it would be disrespectful towards the champions if he uses up some of his energy wrestling another match beforehand. However ShunMao both gave them the thumbs up to do the match. DDT later announced that match will be Takechi & Oishi against Akito & Kazuki Hirata. Until then Takechi is going straight back to doing his duties with THE RAMPAGE. Backstage Masada complained that him losing this match and Hideki Okatani losing the first match back in February is not showing the future of DDT in a good light. He swears the next time he faces Takechi he will beat him with a three count.
Takechi drawing in a big crowd fired up the undercard to show what the rest of DDT is made of. Yuki Iino’s defence of the DDT Universal Title against Yukio Naya was a battle between the last two homegrown heavyweights still standing in the company. In a match filled with Chops, slams, Shoulder Blocks and Lariats Iino had to hit three Spears on Naya to beat him. It took three Spears because Naya kicked out at one the first time, at two the second and was finally pinned for three on the third time. The two shook hands after the match and praised each other.
Iino was then suddenly ambushed by To-y after Naya left the ring. He gave Iino a Dropkick but was then taken down with the Spear. To-y’s spirit wouldn’t break though and he challenged Iino for a shot at the Universal Title. Iino ran the ropes looking to Spear him again but instead stopped himself and accepted the challenge because To-y wants it so badly. It will happen in Fukuoka on 13th October. Iino warns that it will only take one Spear to beat To-y and he is confident it will happen. To-y wants to start winning championships like everyone else in The 37KAMIINA is doing. He can’t stay in the position he is in and has no choice but to move forward. That’s why he isn’t losing any heart despite getting Speared over and over.
A new generation of wrestlers got to experience the IPPON Lighttube Death Match. Shunma Katsumata put the DDT Extreme Title on the line against Akito in a tag team version of the match. The added stipulation was Katsumata teamed with Kazuma Sumi and Akito teamed with Yuni. If Katsumata’s team won then it is a successful title defence but if they lost then Akito becomes the new champion no matter who was directly involved in the finish. Yuki Ishida and Yuya Koroku demonstrated the rules of the match using a plastic baseball bat to explain who would lose depending on how the lighttube would break. The match itself had many close calls and near misses with the lighttube. The finish came when Akito Body Slammed Katsumata onto the lighttube, placed Sumi on top of him and then pinned the both of them down. Yuni then did a Diving Foot Stomp onto the pile, causing the lighttube to be crushed underneath. Since Katsumata was lying directly on top of it, the ruling was he broke the lighttube so Akito wins the championship!
Akito was pleased with how the match went and told the others that the stipulation does not exclusively belong to him. He wants the match to belong to represent DDT so he is passing it down to them. Whenever Katsumata, Yuni or Sumi find an opponent who they think can put on an amazing IPPON Lighttube Death Match, Akito wants them to use those rules. Akito then nominated Danshoku Dieno to be his first challenger because he had a secret to tell him. Dieno entered the ring carrying his beloved pet dog Haku and listened to what Akito had to say. Back when Akito was sent by Sanshiro Takagi to go destroy Pheromones, Akito actually liked the gimmick in general. But he hated Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno because he admires Dieno too much to see him in a supporting role. Pheromones meant so much to Dieno and Akito got rid of it so Akito wants to put what is most important to him on the line against Dieno to make up for it. What matters most to Akito is the Extreme Title. Dieno said Akito underestimated him. It’s true that he cared a lot about Pheromones but Dieno has so many other important purposes in life. He also has room to add the Extreme Title to that list on 20th October! Akito shook Haku’s paw to seal the deal.
Dieno was the opponent chosen for Oishi’s final singles match under contract for DDT with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title on the line. Daisuke Kiso was the referee for the match but Hisaya Imabayashi warned both wrestlers that Yukinori Matsui was sitting backstage and if anybody broke the rules, he would come out and deliver strict justice! A camera backstage filmed Matsui watching the match and Imabayashi would put that footage on the screen as a warning whenever the rules were being bent. Matsui did get angry watching Dieno and Oishi’s antics but he remained backstage. Imabayashi though lost his temper and climbed into the ring to complain, pushing down Kiso for not doing a good enough job. That was Matsui’s breaking point and he marched down to ringside Goldberg style. He got distracted by a few different people including Imabayashi trying to stop him. But they settled their differences with a kiss and entered the ring together along with Dieno’s pet dog Haku. Matsui asked Kiso to let Dieno and Oishi keep wrestling they way they want to because it is Oishi’s last DDT match in Korakuen. The match continued and Oishi immediately tapped out Dieno with a Sleeper Hold to win the Iron Man Title. Dieno then grabbed Oishi in the same move after the match to win it back.
If Match #3 was a test to see if Ilusion deserves to be part of the upcoming KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match then he failed it. DAMNATION T.A all brought chairs to the ring and threw them at Ilusion’s team before the bell. Antonio Honda summoned Gongitsune but the attack hit his teammates and the referee by mistake. Ilusion was thrown into the ropes where MJ Paul broke a chair over his head. Daisuke Sasaki & KANON then finished him off with the Freedom Call to give DAMNATION T.A the win.
Good news for Kazuki Hirata. He doesn’t have to worry about holding the white Right To Challenge Shield anymore because Soma Takao beat him for it. That was in fact Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku’s goal for the match too. All of them wanted to pin Hirata to take the Shield off of him. Hirata had Toru Owashi & Yuki Ishida to play bodyguard for him but that trust eventually ran out. Hirata used the Tegatana chop to knock out both his opponents as well as his own teammates. Endo grabbed Hirata and lifted him up for the Torture Rack Bomb but Hirata slipped on a pair of Hirata GO! glasses over his face to stop it. The two of them danced but when the song ended, Takao rolled up Hirata for the three count behind Endo’s back.
It always feels weird to me when the main championship is the curtain jerker for any wrestling show. But Shinya Aoki had things to do involving the RIZIN show that was happening in Saitama later in the evening so here we have the KO-D Openweight Champion in the opening match. He got to face off against Jun Akiyama but the tag match came down to HARASHIMA pinning Keigo Nakamura with the Somato. HARASHIMA thanked Aoki for teaming with him. He then said he cannot wait any long to try and win a Right To Challenge Shield so he is challenging Aoki for the KO-D Title! It turns out Aoki has been waiting for this moment to happen all along because he thinks HARASHIMA is the undisputed ace of DDT. He accepted the challenge for 20th October and promised to use all of his strength to defend the strongest championship in Japan.
DDT announced they found a main sponsor for their free show in Sumida on 4th November. Geeniest is a character goods company that usually provides pop-up shops in department stores and event halls.

NOAH “THE LEAVE PRESENTS LIMIT BREAK EX.”, 28/09/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall
290 Fans
1. Hajime Ohara defeated Yuya Koroku with the Mui Bien (8:48).
3. Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino defeated Kai Fujimura & Kohei Kinoshita when Endo pinned Fujimura with the Torture Rack Bomb (17:33).
5. Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls: Go Shiozaki, Akitoshi Saito, Mohammed Yone & Atsushi Kotoge (2) defeated Jun Akiyama, Yukio Naya, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Harutoki (1).
5a. Harutoki pinned Go Shiozaki with El Momento de Muerte (23:26).
5b. Go Shiozaki pinned Harutoki with the Strong Arm Lariat (2:10).
5c. Akitoshi Saito pinned Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Sickle Death (9:28).
It’s been a while since I wrote about the “LIMIT BREAK” shows over at NOAH. The last one took place back in July and I skipped over it. The only DDT related matches on it were Jun Akiyama and Tomomitsu Matsunaga in the opening two bouts so there wasn’t much to write about. Today though was different because those two along with Yukio Naya were in a big main event against TEAM NOAH. The three of them along with Harutoki fought TEAM NOAH in a Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls match. The first two falls were both decided by Go Shiozaki and Harutoki. The visiting team unexpectedly won the first fall when Harutoki blocked Shiozaki’s Lariat with a High Kick and then used a Cross-Arm Falcon Arrow to get the pinfall. The second fall didn’t last long because Harutoki went for the quick win only to get cut down by Shiozaki’s Lariat for the three count. The final fall began with Atsushi Kotoge facing off against Naya before switching over to Akitoshi Saito against Akiyama. Matsunaga tagged in but got caught by the teamwork of Saito & Mohammed Yone. That led to Saito pinning Matsunaga with the Sickle Death to end the match. Later Saito said he would like to team up with Akiyama once last time before he retires.
BURNING fared better in their match against Kai Fujimura & Kohei Kinoshita. Late in the match Tetsuya Endo went after Fujimura with Swan Dive attacks and Yuki Iino took out Kinoshita with the Spear. Endo then caught Fujimura with the Tetsuya In The Sky before pinning him with the Torture Rack Bomb. Endo & Iino promised to keep on burning while the other team wants to have more matches against them.
Well, most of BURNING fared better. Yuya Koroku was in the opening match and lost to Hajime Ohara. He targeted Ohara’s left arm but his plan didn’t work out. Instead Ohara trapped him in the Muy Bien submission and made him tap out. Ohara would later become the newest member of TEAM NOAH at the end of the show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 AUTUMN”, 28/09/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
219 Fans
1. Haru Kazashiro defeated Chika Nanase with the Fisherman Suplex (5:31).
2. Kaya Toribami defeated Wakana Uehara with the Bird Cage (8:04).
3. Mahiro Kiryu & Toga defeated Mizuki & Uta Takami when Toga pinned Takami with the Rock Bottom (10:05).
4. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Kira Summer with the Famouser (7:29).
5. Suzume, Arisu Endo & Moka Miyamoto defeated Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Aino & Shino Suzuki when Suzume pinned Suzuki with the Ring A Bell (12:50).
6. Miu Watanabe, Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Max The Impaler, Shoko Nakajima & HIMAWARI when Watanabe pinned HIMAWARI with the Tear Drop (15:16).
With Pom Harajuku wrestling over in Thailand today, Max The Impaler was going to have communication problems with their tag partners in the main event. During the entrances Max sat down in the front row and then wandered around ringside looking for Harajuku. Shoko Nakajima & HIMAWARI had to use portraits of Harajuku to lure Max into the ring and start the match. Even then Max was uncontrollable. They threw Miu Watanabe into the front row chairs and also threw HIMAWARI at the other team like a projectile. The champions team switched tactics and focused on HIMAWARI. Nakajima tried to lure Max back into the ring with the portrait but Maki Itoh gave her a Stunner. The portrait flew out of the ring, which only made Max even madder! Miyu Yamashita came to Itoh’s rescue and together 121000000 got rid of Max with the Knee Strike/Headbutt combo. Watanabe then pinned HIMAWARI with the Tear Drop to give the champions team the victory.
After the match Watanabe said it was a scary match but the champion team won. She also saw the wrestling gear 121000000 were wearing and said that the colour pink suits them. Yamashita had to apologize to Itoh because on 6th October it will be Yamashita & Watanabe teaming together to face Meiko Satomura at Korakuen Hall. Yamashita is determined to kick down Satomura and even the score from seven years ago. Watanabe also wants to leave her mark on Satomura because it might be the only time she will fight her. Itoh couldn’t help but get fired up by their comments even though she isn’t in the match. Meanwhile Nakajima believes she can’t lose when someone as powerful as Satomura is by her side.
Next month sees the return of the Next Generation Tournament. The second edition will begin on 13th October with the final taking place on 22nd November. The eight wrestlers entering the tournament all debuted in either 2023 or 2024. The entries are last year’s winner Wakana Uehara, the other finalist HIMAWARI, Toga, Shino Suzuki, Haru Kazashiro, Chika Nanase, Kira Summer and Uta Takami (the injured Runa Okubo won’t be competing).

BASARA “BASARA 257 ~HIEN~”, 24/09/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans
1. Kota Sekifuda defeated KUBITO with a Crossface Lock Reversal (11:46).
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Banana Senga & Yuki Kanzaki when Oosugi pinned Senga with the Tsuki no Ishi (7:10).
3. Yumehito Imanari & Mizuki Watase defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Lil’ Kraken when Imanari pinned Kraken with the Lariat (15:06).
4. Guts Ishijima, Hideyoshi Kamitani & Kuma Arashi defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, SAGAT & Minoru Fujita when Ishijima pinned SAGAT with the Ghostbuster (13:48).
5. UWA World Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) defeated Isami Kodaka & Ryuichi Sekine when Kamino pinned Sekine with the Lariat (15:33).
*V1 for Aijin Tag.
The main event was held under No Tag Rules. Aijin Tag defeated Sento Minzoku to retain the UWA World Tag Team Titles. The win tasted sweet for Masato Kamino because he pinned Ryuichi Sekine for the victory. Takato Nakani also spoke highly of Sekine and Isami Kodaka joked about how everything today is about Sekine. Aijin Tag would like to continue defending the UWA Tag Titles against more wrestlers from different promotions. Nakano wants to wreck havoc across the indies but Kamino would rather go do it in New Japan.
Masahiro Takanashi suddenly made his entrance at the end of the show while the others were still in the ring. He introduced himself as the 13th Union MAX Champion and was here to settle something that happened in BASARA four years ago. Minoru Fujita knew what he was talking about. He challenged Takanashi for the MAX Title in February 2020 and lost to him. But it was from that point on when everything clicked for Fujita. Since then he has won several championships, was crowned as the MVP of the Japanese indies, fell so gravely ill that he almost died, made a miraculous recovery and came back to wrestling to win more championships. There is one achievement left for him and that is to avenge his loss against Takanashi! Fujita and Takanashi will fight for the MAX Title on 11th October.
The BASARA Vs Ganbare☆Pro match got heated. First Yumehito Imanari attacked Ryota Nakatsu before the bell. Nakatsu responded by chasing after him with his baseball bat. Nakatsu also got intense with Mizuki Watase whenever they were facing off. The finish was Imanari pinning Lil’ Kraken with a Lariat but after the end Kraken got back up and attacked Imanari until they were kept apart.
Kota Sekifuda was a last minute replacement for Takeru Inoue in the opening match. Inoue had a fever and was unable to wrestle.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. SIXTEEN: WHERE COLD WINDS BLOW”, 24/09/2024
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans
1. Masahiro Takanashi & MAO Takanashi defeated Mr. Bueno & Chie Koishikawa when Takanashi & Takanashi both pinned Bueno with the Double Bacchus (?:??).
2. Dr. Cube & Mecha Mummy defeated Mad Dr. Ueki & Shin Suzuki when Mummy submitted Ueki with the Mecha Drill Grind (?:??).
3. Mr. Malo defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Killswitch (?:??).
4. Minoru Suzuki defeated Antonio Honda with the Gotch-Style Piledriver (?:??).
With no matches announced beforehand, nobody knew what to expect with this month’s visit to Baka Gaijin + Friends. The show looked like it was even going to finish early when Chris Brookes gathered everyone together after Match #3 to begin the closing speeches. Antonio Honda interrupted him complaining about not having a match on the show. Brookes admitted he forgot to book something for him. Honda demanded a match and came up with an idea. He has experience in fighting invisible men so his opponent will be Invisible Minoru Suzuki! Honda behaved like Suzuki was walking in front of him performing his entrance, unaware that the real Minoru Suzuki entered the room in his gear and stood behind him ready to wrestle! Honda turned around as the fans sang “Kaze Ni Nare” and collapsed in shock at the sight of Suzuki.
The match began and Honda tried to take control by Chopping Suzuki only to get Chopped in return. The trade-offs continued until Honda change things up by grabbing a flower and exchanging wrist locks with his opponent without dropping it. Suzuki then grabbed Honda in a Headlock and dragged him over to the window where he tried to throw him out of the building! Honda escaped and backed away from the window but Suzuki then attacked him with a coat hanger and then threw him into the front row of stools. Honda tried fighting back but was overwhelmed by Suzuki’s attacks. He got a lucky break by ducking a Clothesline causing Suzuki to slam his arm off the wooden pillar in the room. He summoned Gongitsune to start his comeback leading into the two of them winding up for a Bionic Elbow spot. Honda caught Suzuki in the Sleeper Hold and took him down to the ground. He climbed the bar counter and did the Diving Fist Drop but Suzuki got out of the way and hit the Gotch-Style Piledriver for the win. Honda wanted to keep fighting after the match but Suzuki slapped him to the ground. However Suzuki showed respect to Honda afterwards and allowed him to close out the show with a speech.
A new masked luchador has shown up in Baka Gaijin and he is described as somebody who is the opposite of Mr. Bueno. The wrestler known as Mr. Malo spent a lot of his match against Munetatsu Nakamura singling out women in the audience so he could gift them with a flower. One of those women was Sayaka from ChocoPro. But whenever the ref’s back was turned, Malo gave Nakamura a Low Blow. He also grabbed Sayaka and used her to distract the ref so he could smash a tequila bottle over Nakamura’s head before pinning him with the Killswitch. Mr. Bueno came out to check on Nakamura after the match.
Mad Dr. Ueki was feeling despondent today over what happened at “FUCKED UP FEST” last month. His prized robot Mecha Mummy was taken away by Dr. Cube and reprogrammed to do the evil kaiju’s bidding. Ueki called out Mummy to confront him and Mummy entered the room with Dr. Cube next to him! Cube bragged about what he did and ordered Mummy to destroy Ueki right away. Mummy attacked but Ueki was suddenly rescued by the ring announcer Shin Suzuki! He didn’t want to stand by and watch Ueki get ganged up on so he decided they should do a tag match instead. Ueki tried to reason with Mummy by reminding it of all the good times they had together but Mummy continued to attack him. Ueki pulled out his police gun and shot Mummy but the bullet ricocheted off its chest and hit Suzuki instead! Cube’s, well, cube protected his head like a helmet until Ueki pulled it off to reveal his horribly scarred face. But Mummy stopped Ueki by attacking him with the Mecha Drill, grinding it against Ueki’s face until he tapped out. Cube & Mummy continued to attack Ueki and then Cube promoted the Kaiju Big Battel show happening in Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 10th October. When they left Ueki was so upset that he decided to wipe out his memories of being a Mad Doctor and staggered out of the room.
The first match was a tag match between two teams of doubles. Mr. Bueno was joined by Chie Koishikawa who dressed and behaved just like he did. The other team had MAO not only teaming with Masahiro Takanashi but impersonating him too right down to the promo style. Bueno & Koishikawa were perhaps too identical. They both climbed the bar counter and then banged their heads off the ceiling by standing up too tall. MAO & Takanashi took advantage and both used Takanashi’s Bacchus cradle to pin Bueno for the three count.
Wrestling commentator Haruo Murata was in attendance for the show and decided to join in with Mr. HAKU’s play-by-play on stream during the middle of the main event.
The next Baka Gaijin + Friends show will be held on 29th October.

GANBARE☆PRO “KATTENI-SHIYAGARE 2024”, 23/09/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall
240 Fans – No Vacancy
1. Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox defeated Munetatsu Nakamura & Shota Kawakami when Hox pinned Kawakami with the Modified Package Piledriver (14:08).
2. London Machine, Choun-Shiryu & Tsukina Umino defeated PSYCHO, Rekka & HARUKAZE when Machine submitted HARUKAZE with the Argentine Backbreaker (12:20).
3. Yuna Manase & YuuRI defeated Moeka Haruhi & Maya Yukihi when Manase pinned Haruhi with the Lariat (12:35).
4. Hartley Jackson defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Piledriver (13:20).
5. Ken Ohka, Shuichiro Katsumura & Mizuki Watase defeated Tyson Maeguchi, Thanomsak Toba & Kouki Iwasaki when Katsumura submitted Maeguchi with the Triple Three 3 Lock (14:27).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) defeated Takuya Wada with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (18:51).
*V3 for Keisuke Ishii.
Last month’s cancelled show delayed the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title match to today. In the meantime Keisuke Ishii got to wrestle Yuji Nagata recently and was inspired to use the Nagata Lock II on Takuya Wada. He had to let go due to a rope break but Ishii went back to his usual moveset and eventually won with the High Angle Double Arm DDT. Ishii encouraged Wada to keep fighting him and said they should have three more matches against each other. Ishii told the fans he will lead Ganbare☆Pro for as long as his willpower and body can handle it. Hartley Jackson entered the ring and told Ishii he is a strong champion, but Jackson is ichiban! He will face Ishii for the SOG Title in Osaka on 3rd November.
After Match #5 Mizuki Watase was confronted in the ring by Yuna Manase. She said Watase is doing more to carry the weight of GanPro in other promotions than anyone else. However Manase wants to make her name inside GanPro so she is challenging Watase & Shigehiro Irie for the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles! Watase accepted her challenge, saying he and Irie want to defend the titles against anyone who is motivated regardless of their gender, nationality or what promotion the represent. Manase wants the title shot to happen on 14th October in the main event and she already decided YuuRI is going to be her tag partner. Whenever they team together they are called Nippon Ganbare☆Rengo. The move has Shuichiro Katsumura’s approval. He was going to challenge the champions with Ken Ohka but he’s happy to support his “cute little sisters” instead. Watase is Katsumura’s “nasty little brother” so he won’t be cheering for him.
At the start of the show Yumehito Imanari talked about being undefeated in GanPro ever since they went independent. He asked Michiyoshi Mishima to be rewarded with a SOG Title shot if he could beat Jackson today. Mishima agreed but Imanari ended up losing the match. That led to Jackson challenging Ishii for the title at the end of the show instead.
Another reason why Manase made her tag title challenge was to help push the Ganbare☆Joshi division towards the main event of GanPro cards. GanJo matches are usually held during the first half of the regular shows and when Match #3 was finished Manase asked Mishima to book a GanJo bout for the main event of the 14th October show. Mishima said he would think about it but Manase was not happy with that answer. Then the stuff already written above happened later as a compromise.
HARUKAZE finds herself in the opposite end from Imanari. She has yet to win a match in GanPro since the group went independent and vowed today would be her first victory. That didn’t happen because London Machine made her submit to the Argentine Backbreaker. Both of them tried pulling on each other’s masks during the match.
Even though Munetatsu Nakamura lost in the opening match, he made a request afterwards. Takashi Sasaki was in attendance and Nakamura asked him if he could be booked for the FREEDOMS show at Korakuen Hall on 10th October. Sasaki was impressed by how proactive Nakamura is to ask him directly instead of contacting the FREEDOMS office. However Jun Masaoka took offence and told both Nakamura & Shota Kawakami they need to practice more. A brawl broke out between the teams. Masaoka & Gaia Hox ended up getting the better of the GanPro rookies again.
At the end of the show Ohka interrupted Ishii’s closing speech to give everyone an announcement. GanPro will return to Korakuen Hall on 11th April, 2025! It will be GanPro’s first time booking Korakuen as an independent promotion. The previous times were all done under DDT or CyberFight’s control. Ishii said never in his 16 year career has he main evented a Korakuen show as a singles champion. He will do his best to headline Korakuen with the SOG Title and close out the show with fans chanting his name.

Rembrandt Hotel Tokyo Machida Coral Room

*Shunma Katsumata becomes the 1,672nd champion.
7a. Rematch: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata defeated HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi when Katsumata pinned Dieno after the Our Mad Max (6:15).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Danshoku Dieno defeated Shunma Katsumata (c) with the Gaydo Clutch (6:04 pm).
*Danshoku Dieno becomes the 1,673rd champion.
For the first time in a long time DDT worked with Rembrandt Hotel to hold a show in one of their ballrooms. The main event had an unexpected title change when midway through the match both teams got into a convoluted spot at ringside and Shunma Katsumata suddenly pinned Danshoku Dieno on the floor to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Dieno would then lose the match proper when MAO reversed the Gaydo Clutch and pinned him using a regular Gedo Clutch. Makoto Oishi asked for a rematch this time as a 6-Man Tag. The hotel manager was so touched by Oishi’s speech he gave his approval to Hisaya Imabayashi and permitted them to go ahead with it. The 37KAMIINA would win the match again by pinning Dieno once more. Dieno would finally get his own back hours after the show ended when he attacked Katsumata during the post-show fan event. In the attack he gave Katsumata the Lip Lock and then the Gaydo Clutch to win back the Iron Man Title.
Katsumata’s busy day also saw him beat Oishi in a singles match for the first time ever. They agreed to add a Hardcore rule where each would be allowed to choose a weapon that would be placed at the entrance. Only those weapons were allowed. Katsumata chose a box full of block toys while Oishi’s weapon was a steel chain. Katsumata would use the Miracle Ecstasy to slam Oishi onto the blocks. He then wrapped the chain around his own waist and hit the Totonou Splash for the win. The two were joined by Yuni & Kazuma Sumi after the match. All four of them danced together as Shin NωA. Katsumata later promised the next time he fights Oishi he will try to win without using any weapons.
Yuki Iino’s team lost to Yukio Naya’s team today but Iino is still confident he will defend the DDT Universal Title against Naya at Korakuen Hall next Sunday. He is still more BURNING than Naya and will burn even more at the title match. Naya said the audience who will see them at Korakuen will be a mixture of long time fans and first time viewers. He believes everyone won’t be able to take their eyes off of himself and Iino when the two heavyweights clash with each other.
After Match #4 Ilusion challenged DAMNATION T.A to a KO-D Tag Team Titles match. Daisuke Sasaki took a minute to drink a glass of beer before making a decision. He decided he will accept a challenge from SCHADENFREUDE International but he will not accept any challenge from Ilusion because he wears a weird looking mask! Chris Brookes comforted Ilusion because he thinks the challenge was a good idea. It was later decided that Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada will be the SCHADENFREUDE team getting the title shot on 3rd October.

10. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) defeated Ryo Mizunami with the Tear Drop (21:19).
*V4 for Miu Watanabe.
The power of Princess Aniki has met her match in Tokyo Joshi Pro! Today saw Miu Watanabe cement her Princess Of Princess Title reign by beating Ryo Mizunami in her fourth defence. It is also the first time Mizunami has been beaten in TJPW. Mizunami made it a fight to remember by throwing Chops and Leg Drops on the champion as well as slamming her into the corner post outside the ring. She even dared Watanabe to try and spin her around in the Giant Swing. It took some effort but Watanabe pulled off the move. She also had the strength to use the Swinging Backbreaker and Batting Hammer strikes. Mizunami was able to drop Watanabe with the HOT LIMIT but took too much damage to go for the pin. She later climbed the top rope but Watanabe followed and took her down with an Avalanche Tear Drop. She then used the normal version of her finisher twice but a stubborn Mizunami refused to stay lying down. Watanabe then lifted her into the Canadian Backbreaker but it turned out to be an Inverted Tear Drop instead. She then hit Mizunami from behind with a Batting Hammer to the back of the head, followed it with the Laserbeam chop and got the three count with one last Tear Drop.
Watanabe was happy to have won the match and defend the title in front of such a warm atmosphere today. She thanked Mizunami for being a tough opponent but the title means too much for her to lose it now. Backstage Mizunami said she Watanabe was stronger today, maybe because she has the pride of a champion. Mizunami believes her own wrestling career is not about how many times she won but how many times she got back up after she lost. She’s going to get back up from today’s defeat because she now has more reasons to fight in TJPW. Watanabe said with four successful defences under her belt she now has a lot more confidence to become a perfect champion who will make TJPW grow even bigger! The Canadian Backbreaker Tear Drop was an idea she thought of a long time ago but she instead focused on perfecting the regular version of the move. When she saw Mizunami keep on getting up it forced her to try out the new version. Since it helped lead her to victory she is thinking about using it more for the rest of her title reign.
121000000 have regained the Princess Tag Team Titles! Sadly it comes at the cost of Daisy Monkey’s reign. Some rusty teamwork from the challengers was taken advantage of by the champions using their speed. Arisu Endo ducked out of a sandwich attack causing Miyu Yamashita to knee Maki Itoh in the head by accident. Suzume gave Yamashita the Ring A Bell, Itoh came back to give Suzume a Stunner and Endo flipped her over with a Waterwheel Drop. Endo avoided the Attitude Adjustment to put Yamashita in the Camel Clutch while Suzume held Itoh down in a Sleeper Hold. Itoh was able to grab Yamashita’s hand giving her the encourgement to stand back up and use the Attitude Adjustment to throw Endo on top of Suzume to break up the two submission holds. 121000000 later used the DDT/German Suplex combo on Endo and Yamashita followed it up with the Skull Kick. Suzume was there to break the pin but she then ate the Headbutt/High Knee sandwich attack. Itoh kept her out of the picture so Yamashita could finish off Endo. There was one last gasp of life left from Endo but Yamashita stopped her with a Buzzsaw Kick and scored the pin with the Crash Rabbit Heat.
Yamashita & Itoh now get to re-do their tag title run that only lasted two weeks the first time around. Itoh admitted she’s never been more scared or sorry for herself than for this match but she got through it and won because Yamashita was by her side. Yamashita is ready to defend the titles right away. She already thinks there is one happening in two weeks time but Itoh told her nothing was decided yet. Itoh also welcomes Daisy Monkey to a rematch with the titles on the line. Suzume is obviously upset to lose the title but she thinks it is not going to be out of reach for her. Endo said Daisy Monkey will make their dream of becoming the strongest come true again.
A championship record was broken today when Yuki Arai defended the International Princess Title for the fifth time. That is now the most successful defences for one reign in the title’s history. Moka Miyamoto switched up her attacks by targeting Arai’s legs and then her arms. Arai used a Big Boot as a vital counter as well as the Scorpion Death Lock. Miyamoto would do her best to keep fighting but ultimately fell to the Full Nelson Buster followed by the Finally. Miyamoto was disappointed she couldn’t live up to everyone’s expectations and she is upset she couldn’t avenge the first time she lost to Arai three years ago. She still wants to grab every opportunity she can to wrestle for championships and be in big matches. She also wants to continue having matches with Arai both as opponents and as tag partners. Arai is happy with how much heart she is putting into her matches. She wants even more title defences so she can become a champion that nobody will ever beat! She also felt at home wrestling in Makuhari Messe because she often performs as an idol here away from TJPW.
Xia Zhao wanted to make an impact for her first time wrestling in Japan. The former WWE wrestler did just that by pinning Yuki Kamifuku and spoiling the VENYU reunion. Mizuki used the Whirling Candy to wipe out VENY and Zhao used a Cyclone Kick called the Thunder Strike to get the win on Kamifuku. After the match Zhao made a challenge for both the Queen Of Asia Title and the VPW Women’s Title, henceforth collectively known as the Asian Double Crown. Kamifuku wasn’t happy to find herself in this situation but she accepted the challenge for sometime down the road. Backstage Kamifuku also apologised to VENY for losing and wants to make it up to her by doing something overseas together. She explained she prefers to defend both of her titles together because if she was to lose, she would prefer to lose both belts at the same time. But if she wins she looks twice as cool for defending two titles at once. Zhao said it was a great honor to wrestle in Japan and have her first match here be in TJPW. She is sure the next time she comes back will be for the title match.
In the leadup to the match between Shoko Nakajima and Emi Sakura both women talked about their long history with each other unknown to most wrestling fans. However the kind words and friendly feelings were not on show when Sakura made it to the ring. She rejected Nakajima’s pre-match handshake. She also beat Nakajima’s chest red with Machine Gun Chops. The match went back and forth with nearfalls from Sakura using La Magistral Cradle and the Double Arm Backbreaker while Nakajima used the Northern Lights Suplex and Double Arm DDT. But Sakura took down Nakajima from the top rope and hit the Queen’s Gambit for the victory. Sakura offered to shake Nakajima’s hand after the match but this time Nakajima ignored it. That would lead to Sakura interrupting Nakajima’s post-match interview backstage. She taunted her for crying and accused Nakajima of being happy that she lost instead of being mad because she now has a new challenge to overcome. Sakura also said there is a new rookie in ChocoPro who just debuted and she admires Nakajima. Sakura would love to see Yawata Hiyori face her hero some day but she’s also sure Hiyori is upset that Nakajima lost today. Sakura suggested maybe they can both go cry with Hiyori together!
A match mixing team of monsters with an inexperienced celebrity referee was bound to be chaotic. Aja Kong & Max The Impaler made sure Pom Harajuku would go through the match with them whether she wanted to be there or not. Shiori Aoki (formerly from SKE48) wasn’t concerned about that because she wanted to focus on doing cartwheels while counting pinfalls. She also joined in line when Kong & Max used Harajuku as a jump rope for the other team to hop over. The match also turned into a brawl outside the ring but to give Aoki credit she got everyone back in by using fast counts. Things fell apart when Aoki stopped Kong from using the Steel Can as a weapon. While they were both holding it, Shino Suzuki pushed Kong and made her knock out Aoki with the can! Daisuke Kiso ran in as the substitute ref but he would also get knocked out. The fans chanted Aoki’s name to revive her and she was able to count Kong pinning Suzuki with the Back Drop. Aoki thinks she did a good job and took it seriously. This is supposed to be the last time she will be a wrestling referee but she is open to doing this again if she’s asked to. Yuki Aino thought her team would have won if Harajuku would have stopped running away from them. Kong & Max were also annoyed by that but Harajuku swears she was just wandering around a bit, not hiding. Rika Tatsumi blamed Suzuki over the loss and gave her an Airplane Spin backstage as punishment.
Raku and Ram Kaichow believe there is not enough romance in wrestling so they decided to treat their match against each other like a date. For example the opening lock-up spot instead turned out to be Raku giving Kaichow a hug. The fans then got upset at Yukinori Matsui whenever he tried to order the two to wrestle each other. They then went to a table set up outside the ring with cake and soft drinks for the happy couple to enjoy while Matsui started counting them out. Raku snuck back into the ring early while Kaichow decided to finish the cake in time to make it back by the 19 count. Kaichow finally decided to take the match seriously when Raku tried to pin her with the Oyasumi Express. After a few proper wrestling moves, Raku then sang Kaichow to sleep with a lullaby and decided to take a nap with her in the middle of the ring. Matsui started a 10 count and made it to 9 when Kaichow woke up and got back to her feet. But she was too sleepy to continue and fell on top of a still napping Raku. Matsui decided it looked like a pin and made the three count so Kaichow won the match. Raku was still asleep though so Kaichow gave her a little kiss to wake her up. Backstage Kaichow was still sleepy but was happy that their “wedding night” took place in the ring. But then she started thinking today was all a dream and she decided to go back to sleep.
The last time Kakeru Sekiguchi was in TJPW some people claimed she looks identical to Mahiro Kiryu. So TJPW decided to team the two of them together today. Any argument against the claim wasn’t helped by Wakana Uehara & Toga struggling to figure out who was who. Even worse, Sekiguchi also copied Kiryu’s Apology Knee Drop spot. But there was nothing for Kiryu & Sekiguchi to worry about after that because they went on to win the match. They properly introduced themselves to each other afterwards and told reporters there was always something that got in the way of them meeting each other until today. Sekiguchi told Kiryu that people think even their voices sound alike! The two had fun though and would like to team up again. Uehara described how the match felt like she was surrounded by handsome people. Toga thinks she is more handsome than either Kiryu or Sekiguchi so even though she lost the tag match, at least she won the battle of good looks.
Today was the first time all three members of the 2024 Class got to team together in a 6-Woman Tag Match. Meanwhile the other team all found something in common by wearing fluffy wrestling boots. Uta Takami was able to hit a Missile Dropkick on Kaya Toribami and Kira Summer followed up by using the Samoan Drop. Chika Nanase applied the Inari Torii but Toribami countered it into the Bird Cage while her teammates cleared the ring. Toribami then Arm Dragged Nanase into the centre of the ring so she could go to the ropes and hit the Sento Choryu for the three count. She admitted backstage she didn’t expect the other team to work together so beautifully. HIMAWARI pointed out they must have been fired to team up together for the first time. Yoshiko Hasegawa now knows what the heat is like from the 2024 Class and will have to work hard so she won’t lose to them.
Almost one year after their first singles match against each other it was time for Runa Okubo and Haru Kazashiro to face off for Round 2. This time it was Kazashiro who won the match by pinning Okubo with the Fisherman Suplex. She cried over the result but it wasn’t with tears of joy. She admits she made a lot of mistakes during the match doesn’t believe she gave it her all to deserve the victory. She would like to wrestle Okubo again and work harder so her next win will feel like a proper one.
A special tag match was announced for the next Korakuen Hall show on 6th October. Miu Watanabe & Miyu Yamashita will team up to take on Meiko Satomura & Shoko Nakajima! Satomura is planning to retire from pro wrestling next year but she was due to appear in TJPW one more time to settle some unfinished business with Yamashita. Watanabe is looking forward to it because the first TJPW show she attended after passing her audition for The Up Up Girls was the one where Satomura beat Yamashita in a singles match.

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN NARAHA TOWN ~J VILLAGE~”, 21/09/2024
J Village, Naraha Town, Fukushima
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Falls Count Anywhere 10-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO, Shunma Katsumata, To-y & Yuki Ishida defeated Chris Brookes, Danshoku Dieno, Yukio Naya, Keigo Nakamura & Kazuma Sumi when To-y pinned Nakamura with the Naraha Volley Shot (63:26).
*Naraha Town PC defeated Chinchester United.
Bad weather didn’t stop DDT from paying a visit to Naraha Town for an unusual pro wrestling match. The area they chose to hold the match was a half sized soccer court so the match was treated just like a game of football. That’s right it was a Fighting Soccer Rules match!
To-y led his team called Naraha Town PC (Pro Wrestling Club) to take on the away side known as Chinchester United. The Chin U captain Danshoku Dieno declared that if his team wins then the J Village would be turned into a “G Village”. Both sides walked onto the pitch accompanied by child mascots and stood for the national anthem before kick off.
The match was a game of football where the players were allowed to use wrestling moves on each other. Also after every five minutes a mini-game took place. There was a game of keepy uppy, a goal kick distance challenge and also a sumo match for some reason. Naraha Town beat Chin U but the visiting team begged for the match to be decided by penalty shootout.
Naraha won the shootout 3-2 but Chin U didn’t take to the result kindly. A shoving match broke out between the teams and Keigo Nakamura suddenly headbutted To-y, Zinedine Zidane style! A brawl broke out and Dieno decided since they are all pro wrestlers they are going to have a pro wrestling match right now!
The match was Falls Count Anywhere. It started in the football court and spread out from there. Chris Brookes gathered together umbrellas to attack the other team with, Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata attacked Kazuma Sumi over by a tree, Sumi reversed an Irish Whip and threw Katsumata down a nearby hill, a chain of Headscissors was formed on the ground and Yukio Naya flipped it over into a long Boston Crab hold stretching across the path. MAO then gave Sumi a Tombstone Piledriver onto the concrete. A table was brought over and Yuki Ishida put Nakamura through it with a Fire Thunder Driver.
The match found its way over to another football pitch nearby. This time it was a full sized one but everyone decided to just focus on one end of the field. Another penalty shot challenge took place but this time it was Naraha Town all giving Chin U a collective Penalty Kick at the same time. Chin U set up a reversal but Naya got impatient and went to kick Katsumata before any of his teammates were ready.
A ladder was set up for Dieno to put himself in the Hell Gate position but Katsumata later used it to hit the Totonou Splash on both Dieno & Sumi. To-y sprinted from one end of the pitch to the other and gave Nakamura a Leg Lariat into the goal. The Naraha Volley Shot kept Nakamura down for the count and To-y won the match for his side.
At the end of the day, Naraha Town PC celebrated their hard earned victory. To-y told the fans that his next goal is to get DDT to hold a proper show with a wrestling ring in Fukushima.

Dramatic DDT
