6. HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya defeated Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima when Naya pinned Kojima with The World’s Largest Back Drop (15:18).
7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki, Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai defeated Chris Brookes, MAO & Antonio Honda when Akai pinned Honda with the Quetzalcoatl (17:12).
A couple of hours after Minoru Suzuki wrestled Sanshiro Takagi on the bullet train travelling from Tokyo to Nagoya, Suzuki was wrestling in DDT again this time in the main event. He gave Eruption, in particular Saki Akai, a helping hand against Chris Brookes and his team of jokers. Suzuki was not in the mood for comedy and kicked away Antonio Honda whenever Honda tried to set up a Gongitsune joke. His behaviour changed though when Honda instead wanted to talk about One Piece. Honda almost angered him when he started making lewd jokes about Tony Tony Chopper but Yukio Sakaguchi convinced him to listen for the punchline. Honda then attacked Suzuki with Gongitsune and gave Akai a Tenzan Tombstone Driver. Akai kicked out at two and gave Hona the Quetzalcoatl, pinning him while Suzuki held MAO back from breaking the count.
After the match Suzuki said he heard about Akai’s plans to retire and that she is challenging Brookes for the KO-D Openweight Title soon. If she is looking for strength then she shouldn’t stop for anything. She shouldn’t be crying either because he thinks she looks really ugly when she cries. Akai didn’t respond to that and instead turned her attention to the audience. She said her body is hurting a lot but hearing everybody cheering for her made her want to stand back up whenever she got knocked down. She is a pro wrestler so she will be fine. There is also one last thing she wanted to say to Suzuki. “Who are you calling ugly?” In a flash she kicked Suzuki in the face with a big boot, sending him scrambling out of the ring and grabbing a chair nearby. The seconds at ringside restrained him from getting back into the ring while Akai said when she becomes the champion, Suzuki can challenge her anytime!
For the first time in nine years the All Asia Tag Team Titles changed hands on a DDT show! Jun Akiyama & Kotaro Suzuki on behalf of BURNING have won the belts from Atsushi Onita & Yoshitatsu in an Exploding Death Match. Suzuki perhaps took the worst damage. He was blinded with Onita’s Poison Mist and took an exploding baseball bat swing from Yoshitatsu. Akiyama came to the rescue by throwing Onita onto a barbed wire board that was rigged to explode but did not because nobody pressed the button to trigger it beforehand. He also ducked the Mist from Onita causing Yoshitatsu to get blinded instead. Akiyama & Suzuki both grabbed an exploding baseball bat and hit Yoshitatsu with them sandwich style before Akiyama pinned him for the victory.
Onita accepted defeat and shook Akiyama’s hand after the match. Akiyama said the All Asia Tag Titles are now no longer about explosions so it’s time for them to be defended in serious pro wrestling matches again. Backstage he wanted to make his point clear that the titles are now being held by a DDT wrestler and a freelancer, not anyone from All Japan. Yoshitatsu overheard him and protested, telling him the belts belong to AJPW. He wants to fight for the belts again in a normal match and this time his tag team partner will be Takao Omori! Akiyama accepted the challenge and the title match will take place on 7th October. Meanwhile Onita promised to continue doing exploding death matches in the hopes that the younger generation will someday take over the gimmick. That means he will continue Dramatic Dream Onita with Shunma Katsumata and Toy Kojima somewhere down the line.
After Match #4, Yuji Hino announced to everyone that he will soon end his regular appearances with DDT. He has wrestled on DDT shows often for the last three years first as part of DAMNATION and then as part of the Ω revival. There are good wrestlers in DDT but after all this time only one thing has been clear. In the end, Hino is the strongest! His final match as a regular in DDT will be on 24th September. He is not retiring from wrestling. He is just taking an easier schedule to avoid injury so he can do volunteer work back in Chiba as well as take care of his five children. He can always show up in DDT again if the company calls him or if Makoto Oishi wants to win a championship.

DDT “SHINKANSEN PRO WRESTLING”, 18/09/2023
Nozomi No. 371 From Tokyo Station
75 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Falls Count Anywhere Match: Minoru Suzuki defeated Sanshiro Takagi with the Gotch-Style Piledriver (37:29).
All aboard the bullet train! DDT had a show taking place in Nagoya today so the company decided to rent out one of the cars on the Shinkansen for a pro wrestling match between Sanshiro Takagi and Minoru Suzuki along the way. It is the latest of unusual Falls Count Anywhere matches between the two wrestlers, this one taking place five years after their empty stadium match that took place inside the Tokyo Dome. DDT promised not to do anything that would damage the train otherwise they would have to pay for the repairs.
The train departed from Tokyo on 1:09pm. It arrived at Shinagawa Station at 1:16pm where Sanshiro Takagi stepped on board. Everybody waited for Suzuki to appear but it turned out he was not there. Instead he was waiting at the next stop in Shin-Yokohama. Takagi used his spare time to go to the bathroom.
The train reached Shin-Yokohama Station on 1:28pm where Suzuki did in fact appear once the train started moving again, entrance music included. He explained his delay was because a staff member at the station saw him in his wrestling gear and scolded him for wearing that in public. At 1:32pm the match finally began.
Both wrestlers were given restrictions on what moves they were allowed to use inside a moving bullet train. The rules hardly limited Suzuki because most of his moveset is suitable for any location. Takagi however was robbed of a lot of his power moves that involve slamming the opponent. Suzuki also had a theory he wanted to test out. He calculated that if he throws a punch at 115km/h while the train moves at 285km/h then he will hit Takagi at 400km/h!
Overwhelmed by Suzuki’s physics lesson, Takagi called for help. Suddenly Takeshi Masada entered the car, fully dressed to wrestle. He came to Takagi’s aid and together they double teamed Suzuki down the aisleway. That was when Suzuki called his own help, his No. 1 Capsule Monster Hikaru Sato! Sato showed up wearing a virgin killer sweater and targeted Takagi for being an enemy of Suwama. However the four wrestlers fighting each other caused the train to shake so Takagi warned everyone to take it down a notch.
Suzuki refused Takagi’s warning and tried to give him the Gotch-Style Piledriver. The referee Yukinori Matsui tried to stop him by saying that kind of move is illegal inside the train. Suzuki told him he doesn’t care because it will be CyberFight getting blamed for the damage and not him! Takagi escaped and put Suzuki in a Sleeper Hold when suddenly Danshoku Dieno entered wearing an apron and offering the wrestlers some ice cream. Suzuki agreed to take a quick break so he could enjoy the treat.
However the ice cream served on the Shinkansen has a reputation of being rock hard to eat. That gave the wrestlers an idea to use the ice cream as a weapon but Matsui stopped them. It eventually became soft enough to eat but Dieno then started complaining to Takagi about Pheromones being forced to break up. He wanted to take his anger out by giving Suzuki the Lip Lock but Masada stopped him. Dieno then attacked Masada and kept punching him in the backside.
The next wrestler to show up was Jun Akiyama. He hit the Jumping Knee on Suzuki and Takagi jumped on top for a pin, only getting a two count. Akiyama then held on to Suzuki while Takagi brought out the Mecha Mummy rocket fist! He threw a 500km/h Rocket Punch at Suzuki but he ducked and Akiyama got hit instead. Akiyama got mad at Takagi and left in a huff. Takagi and Suzuki proceeded to fight each other back and forth using the rocket fist.
The fight was getting noisy enough to attract attention from the next car over. Kazunari Murakami stormed into the car to complain about it! He saw it was caused by Takagi and Suzuki fighting each other so he took his anger out on Masada and Matsui instead. Takagi paused the match so he and Suzuki could wipe the sweat off of themselves with a cloth so as to not get the train dirty. He then attacked Suzuki from behind and choked him with the cloth. Suzuki freed himself when he saw one of the passengers had a bento lunch box. He took the box for himself and started eating the food inside.
The match was then interrupted by the arrival of the ticket inspector. As he checked everybody’s tickets one by one, the people on the train began to realize it was Kenta Kobashi! Takagi and Suzuki did not notice him because they were too busy Chopping each other. It was only when they bumped into Kobashi and knocked his hat off that they found out who he was. Kobashi’s music played over the speakers and he chopped Suzuki across the chest after Suzuki complained about him taking the bento box away.
As the match went past the 35 minute mark, Takagi went for one of the few wrestling moves in his arsenal that he is allowed to use. He charged down the aisle and threw a Lariat only for Suzuki to duck under and apply the Sleeper Hold from behind. Suzuki then delivered the Gotch-Style Piledriver, pinning Takagi for the three count!
After the match Takagi thanked all of the fans and the media for coming to see the event. Today is the happiest Takagi has ever been in his pro wrestling career. He fought Suzuki at the Nippon Budokan in 2012, the Tokyo Dome in 2017 and the bullet train in 2023. There is now no better time for him to call it a day and announce his retirement from pro wrestling! A ten bell salute went ahead but at the seventh gong, Takagi suddenly admitted he was lying and then gave Suzuki the Stunner! He’s not going to retire yet not before he finally beats Suzuki. Whether it is on a deserted island, in outer space or on the moon Sanshiro Takagi will one day defeat Minoru Suzuki! He then ran off with Suzuki chasing after him.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~NAGOYA PERFORMANCE~”, 18/09/2023
Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall
681 Fans – No Vacancy
1. Suzume defeated Shino Suzuki with the Ring A Bell (6:56).
2. Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro defeated Kaya Toribami & Runa Okubo when Endo submitted Okubo with the Camel Clutch (8:50).
3. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & HIMAWARI defeated Hyper Misao, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Tatsumi submitted Harajuku with the Dragon Sleeper (11:08). (Special Referee: Shiori Aoki)
4. Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Toga defeated Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Wakana Uehara when Kamifuku pinned Uehara with the Famouser (12:25).
5. Mizuki & Shoko Nakajima defeated Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh when Mizuki pinned Yamashita with the Aquamarine (17:35).
6. Saki Akai & Yuki Arai defeated Yuki Aino & Moka Miyamoto when Akai pinned Miyamoto after the Double Rookie Award (16:10).
For the final time Reiwa AA Cannon teamed up together but today will not be the last time Saki Akai & Yuki Arai will be in the same ring together. After they won their last match as a tag team in the main event, Akai said she looked after Arai as if she was her little sister but now is the time for Arai to step forward on her own and lead Tokyo Joshi Pro into the future. Arai said she loved the time spent with Akai and it went by in a daze. She now has one last selfish request, she wants a singles match with Akai before her retirement! It will be the first, last and only time Akai and Arai will face each other one on one. Akai approved of Arai’s fearlessness in asking her and promised it will happen the next time she shows up in TJPW. It was later confirmed the match will take place at Korakuen Hall on 27th October.
In a preview of the “WRESTLE PRINCESS IV” main event, Mizuki scored a direct pinfall over Miyu Yamashita by avoiding the Skull Kick and using the Aquamarine to roll her into a three count. She isn’t looking forward to wrestling her in further skirmishes until the big show but is confident she can beat her every step of the way.
Another “WRESTLE PRINCESS IV” preview was a 6-Woman Tag match featuring Toyo Mates and Free WiFi against each other. Yuki Kamifuku won the match for her team but got into a small fight with Nao Kakuta afterwards. It led to Kamifuku making a weird promise to not use WiFi until she beats Kakuta. If that means she has to pay for giga internet in the meantime then so be it. Mahiro Kiryu used that point to remind fans to be careful of suspicious WiFi otherwise your personal information could be at risk.
As part of today’s SKE48 performance, Shiori Aoki was invited back to officiate a match again. It was her second time as a wrestling referee and she successfully detected Hyper Misao hiding several foreign objects hidden in her outfit. Misao got her revenge when she redirected Rika Tatsumi into choking Aoki unconscious in the corner. Tatsumi revived her and went to pin Pom Harajuku with a Hip Attack. Aoki showed she was still in good condition by doing a cartwheel before counting the pin. The delay meant she couldn’t count to three in time so Tatsumi switched Harajuku over into the Dragon Sleeper so she could win by submission. Aoki said she would like to be the referee again and was given advice from Daisuke Kiso before today’s match. She enjoyed the challenge of having more wrestlers to keep an eye on this time.
Miu Watanabe was spotted cheering along to the SKE48 mini concert like she always does whenever TJPW brings in idols for a musical performance.

1. Alex Lee defeated Echika Miyabi with the Vinco Plex (8:26).
2. Miyako Matsumoto & Kaho Kobayashi defeated Sumire Natsu & Riara when Kobayashi pinned Riara with the Fisherman Suplex (15:01).
3. Ice Ribbon Offer Match: Ibuki Hoshi defeated Arisa Shinose with a Diving Body Press (7:48).
4. Tomoka Inaba & Azusa Inaba defeated Miyuki Takase & Yoshiko Hasegawa when Tomoka pinned Hasegawa with the Inaba Otoshi (17:00).
5. Special Single Match: Haruka Umesaki defeated YuuRI with the German Suplex (15:54).
On the hunt to win a championship again, YuuRI set her sights on Haruka Umesaki who currently holds the WWWD Single Title in her home promotion called Diana. A non-title match was put together here in Ganbare☆Joshi, giving YuuRI the home field advantage. However Umesaki won the match clean and decisively. She said she always wanted to wrestle YuuRI and was glad it happened. YuuRI told her she isn’t giving up her quest to win the WWWD Title from her and some day she will surpass her! According to Umesaki, she will go consult with Diana to put together a title match if everybody wants it to happen.
A reunion for Miyuki Takase & Yoshiko Hasegawa brought the two together for a tag match against the Inaba Sisters from JTO. The visitors won the match, leaving Hasegawa feeling dejected. She wasn’t able to win even when she had Takase’s help. Takase encouraged her to keep working hard and together they will get Hasegawa her first direct win. Both Tomoka Inaba & Azusa Inaba believe they were able to show momentum for their first appearance as a team in GanJo.
The last time the ICEx∞ Title was in GanJo it was YuuRI’s championship. It now belongs to Ibuki Hoshi and she brought it with her for the Ice Ribbon offer match against Arisa Shinose.
The Hostess Tag Team has now reached a crossroads. They lost to Miyako Matsumoto & Kaho Kobayashi in a match where everybody was accusing each other of getting plastic surgery. Sumire Natsu & Riara have teamed up three times now and haven’t won once. Natsu thinks Riara needs to change her focus to what’s in front of her instead of worrying about getting their tag team over with the fans. She’s going to help her any way that she can so they will some day drink celebretory champagne together for winning a match.
Echika Miyabi’s match with Alex Lee was put together to celebrate Miyabi’s one year anniversary of her debut match. Miyabi’s first pro wrestling bout took place on 14th September last year.
The GanJo GM Yuna Manase gave everyone an update on her injury recovery. She’s at the point now where she can walk around in heels again.

Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans – Withheld
1. Daiki Shimomura defeated Takato Nakano with a Modified La Magistral Cradle (10:26).
2. Hardcore Tag Match: Takumi Tsukamoto & SAGAT defeated Isami Kodaka & Lil’ Kraken when Tsukamoto pinned Kraken with the Zudon onto the Chair and Cans (15:35).
3. Ryota Nakatsu defeated Hijo del Alebrije with a Back Roll Clutch Hold (10:50).
4. Ajikan International Police Vs Expendables Allied Forces: FUMA, KUBITO & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Kaminold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Uranone & Jason Abeham ended in a No Contest because peace has come to the world (15:01).
5. Enter Kazato The Road To The Death Game Of Anger: Choun-Shiryu defeated Daichi Kazato with the Project A (23:22).
Today’s show was all put together by Asian Kung Fu Revolution. Each member of the unit all promised the fans will never know what is going to happen in the matches. For example, Daichi Kazato challenged Choun-Shiryu to a match because he cannot stand the fact there is a person who is more Asian and Kung Fu than Asian Kung Fu Revolution. The two agreed to fight under Game Of Death rules. It featured a large rubber band attached to one of the ropes as well as a balance ball, an iron pot and a ladle for the wrestlers to use a weapons. Kazato held onto the balance ball while he did the Mad Splash but missed and bounced across the ring. Shiryu then gave him the Chinese Gory Special Bomb onto the ball and won the match by hitting the Project A (similar to the Coffin Drop) for the pin. After the match Kazato revealed that when he was a high school student he was invited by Shiryu to train pro wrestling with him. He thinks what he learned that day has helped him survive the business ever since and he wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for Shiryu.
Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi claimed he spent a lot of money to bring over a bunch of Hollywood stars for Asian Kung Fu Revolution to fight against. Sylvester Uranone wanted to show off his Rocky skills so he had a boxing showdown with Hiroshi. Kaminold Schwarzenegger spent the match posing in his underwear until it was discovered that his urine test came back positive for a banned substance so he was taken out of the match. FUMA then shot both Uranone and Jason Abeham with his hunting rifle before accidentally shooting KUBITO. Next up, Fuminori Abe came out dressed like The Rock and was followed by SAGAT dressed like Dude Love. FUMA shot them both. Schwarzenegger returned, this time as a Terminator to stop FUMA. With all of this chaos going on, Hiroshi began to sing in the hopes that everyone would get along. They did, even the people who were shot. Since everybody was now holding hands and bringing peace to the world, the match was declared a no contest.
Today was the first time Ryota Nakatsu wrestled against a Mexican luchador so he wanted to try and copy Hijo del Alebrije’s style. He himself admits he wasn’t very good at it but he was able to adjust and pin Alebrije with a Back Roll Clutch. It is a wrestling style he would like to try again.
I still don’t get why Match #2 was called a 6-Man Tag when there were only four wrestlers involved.

7. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Miyu Yamashita & Hyper Misao when Tatsumi pinned Misao with the Missile Hip (14:56).
For the first time Tokyo Joshi Pro went to visit Nagano for Rika Tatsumi’s homecoming show. Daydream won in the main event after they got rid of Miyu Yamashita with the Daydream Eternity. Tatsumi then got to pin Hyper Misao with the Missile Hip. After the match Tatsumi said her pro wrestling career will soon be 10 years old. She also told the audience her mother came to see her wrestle for the first time. Tatsumi didn’t know what her mother thought about the match and her mom in the crowd shouted it was great! Backstage Miu Watanabe said she loves how gorgeous Nagano is. Tatsumi said she would like to become a goodwill ambassador for Nagano as well as the mascot for her favorite restaurant here.
The show began with the announcement that Tatsumi will be facing Max The Impaler at “WRESTLE PRINCESS IV” on 9th October in a double championship match! Tatsumi will put the International Princess Title on the line against Max’s NWA World Women’s Television Title. Max is somebody Tatsumi wanted to face one on one but she never expected it to happen until now.
There were a lot of names absent from the show because of an illness going through the roster. Raku is one of them. Both Aja Kong & Yuki Aino performed the Oyasumi Express together in their match as a shoutout to her. They did their best and won their match but even then they felt like they needed their leader Raku with them. Kong also praised the TJPW roster for doing their best to run the show with so many people missing.
Maki Itoh revealed that while she was in America for her most recent tour, she took a taxi and got in a traffic accident when another vehicle hit the taxi from behind. Today for her first match back in Japan she beat Shino Suzuki. Itoh claims she didn’t even use 10% of her power to win because Suzuki is just a rookie. She was also honest and thought the fan reaction to her return was only so-so. She wants to get stronger and go her own way even if she doesn’t get full fan support.
Ryo Mizunami called Toga a young fighter with a lot of potential and a promising future. Toga got to hit her with the big Elbow Strike in their match. Mizunami said the strike really affected her body and even touched her heart. She knows Toga felt the same feeling and wants her to keep it while she does her best from now on. She would like to fight her again when Toga becomes stronger.
There was one more cancelled appearance a few hours before the show due to illness. Wakana Uehara was pulled from the event because she was showing symptoms of a fever last night and hadn’t recovered. Pom Harajuku was Hikari Noa’s opponent instead.

The return of Tetsuya Endo from injury didn’t end in victory but he believes his comeback could not have been under better circumstances. He got to wrestle in his hometown leading BURNING against the toughest trio going right now, the 6-Man Tag double crown champions Eruption.

5. Yuki Aino defeated Yuki Arai with the UBV (12:09).
6. Princess Tag Team Titles 2nd Qualifier ~ 3 Way Tag Match: Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe and Suzume & Arisu Endo when Kiryu pinned Endo with the Spinebuster (12:48).
Toyo Mates have pulled off the upset to qualify for the Princess Tag Team Titles match at “WRESTLE PRINCESS IV”! The big momentum shift in the 3 Way Match was when Yuki Kamifuku hit both members of Daydream with the Famouser together. She then chose to deal with Suzume, leaving it all up to Mahiro Kiryu to finish the job. It almost backfired when Arisu Endo put Kiryu in the Camel Clutch but Kiryu escaped and pinned her with the Spinebuster. That means Toyo Mates moves on to face Free WiFi on 9th October where the winners will become the new champions.
Kamifuku admitted she was feeling burned out after the Summer tour which included her run in the Tokyo Princess Cup. She always has high expectations for Kiryu but was worried she couldn’t pull it off when the match came down to her and Endo. Kiryu swore that when they fight Free WiFi, she will cut off their signal! Daydream were disappointed they didn’t win. Both Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe miss carrying the pink title belts. Tatsumi said she even would have agreed to take part in two title matches at “WRESTLE PRINCESS IV” because she is planning to defend the International Princess Title there too. Suzume was apologetic to Endo for not being able to rescue her in time. Daisy Monkey believe they haven’t reached their full potential as a tag team yet so they still have a way to go until they become the best tag team in the world!
In preparation for the final Reiwa AA Cannon tag match happening later this month, Yuki Arai’s homecoming match was against Yuki Aino. The result was not in Arai’s favour as she was beaten by the more experienced opponent. It is the first time Arai lost a match in Kyoto. She said she had a lot of support from the fans but she was lacking in ability to win. Aino wants a repeat result when she and Moka Miyamoto face Arai & Saki Akai on 18th September.
Nao Kakuta busted her nose during Match #3. It is one of the rare times you will see blood on a Tokyo Joshi Pro show.
There is a regular pre-match routine that Pom Harajuku does with Daisuke Kiso. After Harajuku gets checked in the ring for foreign objects she shouts “Onegaishimasu” for as long as she can while Kiso guides her voice with his hand until he throws it away. Today he threw her voice towards the famous stained glass window of Kyoto KBS Hall causing the lighting behind it to shut off! They repeated the spot to fix the lights back to normal.
Toga was not at the show due to being in poor condition. The tag match she was scheduled to be in was turned into a 3 Way Match with the remaining wrestlers.

DDT held a free outdoor wrestling event at an open air theatre inside Ikebukuro Nishiguchi Park. There was also a public press conference held before the show began. At the press conference Chris Brookes said he wanted to challenge Eruption for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles in return for setting up Saki Akai for a KO-D Openweight Title shot. He already has a team in place that mixes together CDK with ChocoPro. His partners for the challenge will be Masahiro Takanashi & Mei Suruga. The challenge was accepted by Yukio Sakaguchi and the match will take place in Akai’s hometown of Kyoto on 30th September.
The press conference also announced the next match in the DDT Vs All Japan feud. AJPW are sending over Atsuki Aoyagi & Dan Tamura to face Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima on 24th September. Aoyagi was at the conference to speak with the DDT team. He said he wanted to fight DDT wrestlers after seeing the inter-promotional match that happened in AJPW over the weekend. When he found out Ueno is one of his opponents it made him look forward to it even more. Kojima however felt insulted when Aoyagi did not acknowledge him. He is getting annoyed that when other wrestlers talk about The 37KAMIINA they only refer to Ueno and MAO. Kojima is the member of the unit who is in charge of firewood so he will be the one to heat up this match! Aoyagi upset Kojima even more when he repeated he is only interested in fighting Ueno and MAO.
