It was announced today that Tetsuya Endo is vacating the KO-D Openweight Title and the championship will be rewarded to the winner of this year’s King Of DDT! Endo is out of action with a concussion for the foreseeable future. He will consult with both his doctor and DDT to determine when he will return. Until then, he does not feel right carrying the KO-D Title while he is absent from the tournament and made the decision to relinquish the belt. When Endo does return he wants to start at zero and climb back up to the top again.

6. King Of DDT 2022 – Round 1F: Jun Akiyama Vs Yukio Sakaguchi
7. King Of DDT 2022 – Round 1G: Yukio Naya Vs Kazusada Higuchi
The King Of DDT winner will be recognised as the 79th KO-D Champion. The remaining 15 competitors all gave comments on the tournament today after hearing today’s news. Until yesterday, Jun Akiyama only wanted to have a good match with Yukio Sakaguchi win or lose. But after Endo vacated the title, that means Akiyama now has to win and go on to become champion for him. Sakaguchi has seen other wrestlers defeat and even surpass Akiyama. He thinks it is now his time to do the same. If Akiyama attempts to do Jumbo Tsuruta’s Jumping Knee then Sakaguchi will use his father Seiji Sakaguchi’s version of the move against it. The fact that Sakaguchi brings up his estranged dad shows how serious he is taking this.
After seeing what happened to Endo in the ring, Kazusada Higuchi feels stronger about being the person to lead DDT in Endo’s place. He will make sure he will rise to the top and carry Endo’s feeling on his back while also wearing the KO-D Title. Yukio Naya thinks he is strong enough to take him on and is eager to put his current self against him in the main event.
Akiyama badly wants MAO to win his 1st Round match because he does not want any chance of facing Yuki Iino in the second round happening. MAO also wanted to avoid Iino and thinks his tournament is already over. Iino simply says he is the King Of Sexy Star!
On the one hand, Daisuke Sasaki is confident he will win the tournament. On the other, he admits he will need a miraculous victory in order to beat his “best friend” Yuji Hino. If that does happen he is certain he will then meet KANON in the next round and that should be treated as the de facto final. He believes he is the only person in DDT who deserves the KO-D Title. Hino wonders if they are still friends because Sasaki formed DAMNATION T.A without telling him. If Hino really is holding a grudge over it then he is going to give Sasaki a bumpy ride in Round 1.
KANON is undefeated and already a champion in the two months he’s been in DDT. He is looking forward to showing his growth on his own in this tournament. If he wins he is having fun, if he loses then he is not. Yuki Ueno had a lot to think about coming out of this weekend and it makes him want to win King Of DDT and become the strongest wrestler in the company.
Both Naomi Yoshimura and Chris Brookes have bad histories with King Of DDT. Yoshimura has entered five times and never reached past the 2nd Round. Brookes has entered twice and been eliminated in the 1st Round both times. Simply advancing out of the opening stage will be his focus this year. Yoshimura wants to become the top person in DDT but realistically thinks HARASHIMA is going to win the whole thing. He’s not going to let his guard down though.
HARASHIMA has not won the KO-D Title or King Of DDT in a while so he would like to do both at the same time. He’ll be happy to meet Yoshimura in the 2nd Round. Hideki Okatani knows that he is not expected by anybody to beat HARASHIMA but he is determined not to lose. He is sure that if he wins he will be able to fight either Sakaguchi or Higuchi later on. Winning those two matches will springboard him to the championship.

5. King Of DDT 2022 – Round 2: Winner Of Match 1G Vs Masahiro Takanashi
Endo pulling out of the tournament means Masahiro Takanashi gets an automatic buy into Round 2. He has not been in King Of DDT in three years and does not feel like a regular member of the roster compared to the rest of the field. But he has the chance to become a double champion and also be in the main event of “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2022”. You couldn’t ask for more motivation than that.

The big match is Tetsuya Endo Vs Masahiro Takanashi because it pits the KO-D Openweight Champion against the new DDT Universal Champion! That’s not the only champion versus champion match because Yuki Iino is set to face MAO in a battle between the DDT Extreme Title and KO-D Tag Team Titles. Elsewhere Yukio Naya and Kazusada Higuchi are against each other in a heavyweight clash, Jun Akiyama and Yukio Sakaguchi have a first time singles match with each other, former DAMNATION allies collide when Yuji Hino faces Daisuke Sasaki, newcomer KANON has made Yuki Ueno his target in the tournament, Chris Brookes will already be back from injury to take on Naomi Yoshimura and Hideki Okatani maybe has the toughest opponent of the lot in the form of HARASHIMA.

1. King Of Street Wrestling – Final – Nagano Kawanakajima Battleground Site: Chris Brookes defeated Abdullah Kobayashi with a Diving Senton from the Ladder (20:55).
The King Of Street Wrestling Final took place over in the Senkgoku Era battlefield of Kawanakajima in Nagano. A fitting place for two warriors to have their final showdown. Chris Brookes was spotted first praying at a shrine before putting on full body armor made out of cardboard. He walked over to the starting area where Abdullah Kobayashi was there waiting for him in his own cardboard armor. The duel began with a clash and off they went into the battlefield.
Brookes got the upper hand when he tied Kobayashi up with a rope and rolled him down a hill. Kobayashi fought back by shoving grass into his opponent’s face before knocking him into a nearby stream. They fought their way over to a playground and took it easy on each other because there were children nearby. Once they moved away from the playground they got violent again. Kobayashi grabbed some splintered wood and scraped it over Brookes’s face. He then placed Brookes on a dolly and rolled him down a hill into a castle of chairs!
The deciding moment came when Kobayashi placed Brookes onto a pile of plastic boxes. He went for the Bakachinga Elbow but crashed through the boxes by himself after Brookes rolled out of the way. Brookes climbed up a nearbyy ladder and hit a Diving Senton onto his opponent’s back. That was enough for the three count making Brookes the King Of Street Wrestling! Kobayashi congratulated Brookes and handed him the trophy. The two celebrated together to close out the tournament.

1. King Of Street Wrestling – Semi-Final – Shizuoka Fumotoppara: Chris Brookes defeated Hikaru Machida with the Octopus Stretch on top of a tree (22:24).
2. King Of Street Wrestling – Semi-Final – Kanagawa Ofuronokuni: Abdullah Kobayashi defeated Shunma Katsumata with the Diving Bakachinga Elbow into the bubble bath (22:07).
The King Of Street Wrestling semi finals began with a match in a Shizuoka camping site. With the glorious sight of Mt. Fuji in the background, Chris Brookes and Hikaru Machida had the entire field for themselves to fight in. It started off as a kickboxing match with Brookes also wearing gloves. Machida kept knocking him down easily so Brookes gave up the act and kicked him below the belt. Machida had Thanomsak Toba coaching him and also helping out at one point. They both put Brookes on a trolley and rolled him down a hill. Brookes returned attacking Machida with a garbage can, chairs and fireworks. Machida fought back by using the Iai Punch to smash a chair into Brookes. He chased him over to a nearby tent where Brookes caught him with a surprise attack. Brookes hit a Michinoku Driver onto a pile of chairs but Machida then Iai Punched Brookes onto a pile of plastic boxes. Brookes climbed up a tree trying and dared Machida to follow him. Machida had difficulty because of his gloves so he took them off and began climbing. That turned out to be a genius plan from Brookes because once they were both up there, he got the upper hand and applied the Octopus Hold. Machida had nowhere to go and couldn’t escape so he gave up.
The other semi final had Shunma Katsumata with the home field advantage against Abdullah Kobayashi. The two met each other outside the Kanagawa Ofuronokuni both dressed for the sauna experience. They fought their way into the building (with the referee guiding them in the right direction). They took brief breaks in between the action to relax and enjoy their surroundings. They almost took things too far by looking for excuses to enter the women’s bath area so instead they went into the sauna area. There they met the resident heat master Katsumata Inoue who made the room even hotter for them. Kobayashi couldn’t take it and removed his wrestling gear to reveal he was wearing a fundoshi underneath! Katsumata did the same but he was wearing the O-Back from his recent Ladder match against Yuki Iino. The match had to continue and the two of them succeeded in breaking into the women’s bath area. It was empty so they had free reign to fight wherever they wanted. Katsumata did a Missile Dropkick into a bath. He then climbed a ladder and jumped off for a literal Splash into Kobayashi. However Kobayashi took control of the match and hit the Bakachinga Elbow into the bath. Katsumata couldn’t recover and was pinned for the three count. He got his own back in the end though by stripping Kobayashi of his fundoshi.
The final between Chris Brookes and Abdullah Kobayashi will be held at a Sengoku battle site in Kawanakajima, Nagano. The match will be shown on 23rd April.

1. King Of Street Wrestling – Round 1 – Kanagawa Big Japan Dojo: Abdullah Kobayashi defeated Sanshiro Takagi with the Bakachinga Elbow (13:02).
2. King Of Street Wrestling – Round 1 – Kanagawa Enoshima Beach: Hikaru Machida defeated Worawutnoi Keatchaiyong by Knockout with the Iai Punch (R3 1:20).
3. King Of Street Wrestling – Round 1 – Tokyo Shibuya Kitaya Park: Shunma Katsumata defeated Suzu Suzuki with the Sauna Trance Splash through the Table (17:18).
4. King Of Street Wrestling – Round 1 – Tokyo Shin-Kiba Studio Flamme: Chris Brookes defeated Onryo by Coffin Burial (15:43).
The first King Of Street Wrestling tournament kicked off with four matches in the opening round. Sanshiro Takagi visited the Big Japan dojo for his match against Abdullah Kobayashi. Takagi went looking around for his opponent but found Kosuke Sato instead. He thought Takagi was trespassing but couldn’t stop him from entering the kitchen and looking round the place. Kobayashi finally showed up. He was out grocery shopping and forgot the match was taking place today. To make up for it, Kobayashi offered Takagi a pint glass of raw eggs. Takagi couldn’t drink it while Kobayashi gulped his glass down. He then drank Takagi’s pint for him and the two began their match. It was just as much a tour of a dojo as both wrestlers were looking for weapons. Kobayashi briefly disappeared only to return dressed as Stan Hansen! He chased Takagi outside and Takagi tried to escape on the Dramatic Dream bike. He caught up to him by the river where BJW washes their ring canvas. Kobayashi hit Takagi over the head with a chair, knocking him down onto the canvas. He gave him the Bakachinga Elbow and pinned him right there to advance to the semi-final.
The next match was on a beach where a kickboxer fought a Muay Thai fighter. The kickboxer Hikaru Machida was accompanied by Thanomsak Toba while the Muay Thai fighter Worawutnoi Keatchaiyong had Makoto Oishi cheering him on. Keatchaiyong had the early advantage by clutching onto his opponent in Round 1. Machida broke through his defence in Round 2 with a Sole Butt, causing Keatchaiyong to flee towards a nearby jungle gym. Machida used the gym to swing into Keatchaiyong with a flying kick for more damage. The knockout came in Round 3 when Machida hit Keatchaiyong with the Iai Punch into the water. It was an instant knockout.
The young generation were up next with Shunma Katsumata and Suzu Suzuki fighting each other in Shibuya. Both of them brought weapons out to the public square and weren’t shy about committing violent acts in front of the confused bystanders. They stapled flyers onto each other’s heads, smashed a box of toy blocks to pieces and threw each other into nearby chairs before breaking them over each other’s heads. A ladder was set up next to a table and Katsumata threw Suzuki onto a pile of chairs Death Valley Driver style. He then climbed the ladder and put Suzuki through the table with the Sauna Trance Splash to win the match.
The final match was held in an empty photo studio where Chris Brookes went hunting for the ghost known as Onryo. He entered the venue armed with a proton gun to defend himself with. He was in for a wild ride starting with a masked figure appearing in the balcony to get his attention only for Onryo to attack him from behind. Onryo tried to hang him with a chain but Brookes broke free and attacked him back with the same chain. The two fought up to the rafters where Brookes put Onryo in the Octopus Stretch. Onryo found a cinder block up there and he broke it over Brookes’ stomach. Back down on ground floor, Brookes used a giant fan blowing flower petals to render Onryo’s powder attack useless. Brookes tied Onryo to a wheelchair when suddenly a nearby coffin opened up and Ram Kaichow rose out of it! She gave Brookes a Tornado DDT out of the coffin and began shooting fireworks at him. She freed Onryo but that gave Brookes time to attack her. Onryo dived onto Brookes and fought to throw him into the coffin. He countered the Praying Mantis Bomb with a Back Body Drop onto wooden boards. He then pressed a nearby button and picked up a board rigged to explode! Brookes fought him off, grabbed the board and hit Onryo with the explosion instead. That was enough for Brookes to carry him into the coffin and close it for the knockout victory. Brookes was the winner but he could see through the window lid of the coffin that there was nobody in there! The coffin was empty and the lights began to flash. Brookes ran off as the ghostly figures of Onryo and Kaichow stood behind him and stared.
The King Of Street Wrestling semi-finals will be broadcast on 16th April. Abdullah Kobayashi versus Shunma Katsumata will happen at a bath house in Kanagawa. Chris Brookes versus Hikaru Machida will take place at a campground in Shizuoka.

1. King Of Street Wrestling – Final: X Vs X
The King Of Street Wrestling 1st Round matches have been decided. Sanshiro Takagi came up with this tournament because nothing of its kind has ever existed before. There are tournaments for many kinds of wrestling and martial arts but not for DDT’s style of Falls Count Anywhere street wrestling. He is hopeful this tournament will be the first of many!
Every match will take place in a different location and environment so no match will be anything like the other. For example Sanshiro Takagi and Abdullah Kobayashi will fight each other in Big Japan’s own dojo. Kobayashi is literally defending his home turf! Takagi realizes this and will plan to take the match out to the street and into the shops nearby.
Hikaru Machida is a 34 year old kickboxer from Ome City, Tokyo with a 28-11-3 record. He claims his strongest move is the Iai Punch. His opponent is a Muay Thai fighter from Phuket, Thailand named Worawutnoi Keatchaiyong. His record is 122-63-5. He is also an instructor at the PHOENIX Fitness Gym in Tokyo. Three of his students had fought Machida before so there is a connection between these two fighters despite never meeting each other before today. Their match will take place in Enoshima Beach.
One of the participants is already feeling spooked. Chris Brookes is taking on Onryo from 666 and The Spirit World. During the tournament press conference Brookes was convinced he was seeing Onryo sitting at the table next to him but nobody noticed. Brookes then started choking as if Onryo was standing right there strangling him. Brookes recovered and kept his distance from everyone else the rest for the rest of the day. When he and Onryo do get together they will fight at photography studio in Shin-Kiba called Studio Flamme. It’s a warehouse ran by the video company Blaze Legion that opened up last April.
Last but not least the hip young wrestlers Shunma Katsumata and Suzu Suzuki will face off at Kitaya Park in Shibuya. Suzuki called Katsumata an old man because he is 10 years older than her. Katsumata denies there being an age difference and is confident his experience in street wrestling matches will lead him to victory.

0. Ultimate Tag League 2022 – A Block: Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya (4) defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani (2) by Forfeit.
1. Kazusada Higuchi defeated Yuki Ishida with the Brain Claw (10:00).
2. Pheromones Vs DISASTER BOX!: Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yuki “Sexy” Iino Vs Toru Owashi & Naomi Yoshimura ended in a No Contest (13:08).
3. Chris Brookes defeated Yukio Naya with the Death By Roll-Up (12:41).
4. Fukushima Specialty Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Gorgeous Matsuno when Honda pinned Matsuno with a Crushed La Magistral Cradle (13:07).
5. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated Yuji Hino & Akito when Sasaki submitted Akito with the Crossface Lock (12:43).
6. BURNING! Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada defeated Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & MAO when Endo pinned Katsumata with the Best Burning Star Press In the Universe (19:27).

-. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari (4)
4. Shunma Katsumata & MAO (2)
-. Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi (2)
The absence of Konosuke Takeshita was noticeable from both sides in the main event. Tetsuya Endo felt something was different and Jun Akiyama told him The 37KAMIINA come off lukewarm without their main man. Endo still wants to send him a message. He will beat Takeshita at Korakuen Hall and then at Sumo Hall in the next month! Endo also ripped off MAO’s shirt during the match. The shirt was a piece of Gorgeous Matsuno merchandise, MAO’s favourite one in fact. He swore to get revenge on Endo over it.
Matsuno & Yukio Sakaguchi swapped robes for their entrance. It must have been Matsuno’s idea because Sakaguchi didn’t look happy doing it. Matsuno also teased he will form a new unit with him soon, one that will last for a long time. Sakaguchi instantly shot down that idea and refuses having to do it. Matsuno then came up with another idea. He will hold a show in Fukushima celebrating his 20th anniversary in wrestling on 19th September!
Pheromones came up with a creative public execution for Hisaya Imabayashi this time. Makoto Oishi carried in a tiny snowman which was placed on Yuki Iino’s crotch while he was lying down. Danshoku Dieno then gave Imabayashi an Atomic Drop onto the snowman. Afterward they smothered his face and crotch with the snow.

Today’s show in Chiba was a cross promotion between DDT and ONLY WE. The latter is a small group of freelancers led by Yuji Hino. He teamed with Yukio Naya and Kaji Tomato to beat BURNING in the main event. Another co-promoted show between the two companies is scheduled for later this April.
DAMNATION T.A won’t make it to the Ultimate Tag League final but they still left their mark by slowing down Pheromones. The key to victory was Yuki Iino’s tights. Daisuke Sasaki grabbed it and pulled it off him while he was lured underneath the ring. DDT staff refused to let Iino continue wrestling in a G-string and Hisaya Imabayashi kept blocking him with shirts, towels or whatever he could find. Danshoku Dieno & Yumehito Imanari helped Iino give Imabayashi a “public execution” but Sasaki then used a pair of scissors to cut off Iino’s G-string! Iino finally reached his limit and went off to cover his shame while MJ Paul pinned Imanari with the Death Valley Bomb.
ONLY WE has a rival unit that made their presence felt on this show. Shogun Okamoto represents the PERON GRANDES faction and he attacked Quiet Storm with a chair to get himself disqualified. Storm swore to get revenge while Okamoto warned that wherever ONLY WE goes, so will PERON GRANDES!
