DDT “AFTER PETER PAN 2024 IN NAGOYA – DAY 1”, 27/07/2024
Aichi Nagoya Imaike Gas Hall
242 Fans – Super No Vacancy

-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Antonio Honda defeated Danshoku Dieno (c) with a School Boy (5:03 pm).
*Antonio Honda becomes the 1,663rd champion.
1. 3 Way Match: Makoto Oishi defeated Kazuki Hirata and Yuni when Oishi pinned Yuni with a Power Bomb (7:50).
2. MAO & To-y defeated Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi when To-y pinned Sumi with the Kojima Impact (11:53).
3. Toru Owashi & Yuki Iino defeated Jun Akiyama & Keigo Nakamura when Iino pinned Nakamura with the Lariat (9:06).
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami & KANON defeated Tetsuya Endo, Yukio Naya & Yuya Koroku when KANON submitted Koroku with the Cobra Twist (15:14).
5. Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Akito defeated Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata when Akito pinned Katsumata with a Totonou Splash Counter (14:33).
6. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Danshoku Dieno defeated Antonio Honda (c) with the Gotch-Style Danshoku Driver (18:41).
*Danshoku Dieno becomes the 1,664th champion.

There was a reversal in roles for the headline match due to what happened at the start of the show. Danshoku Dieno opened up the event with a speech and Antonio Honda rolled him up from behind to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from him. So now Honda was the defending champion and Dieno was the challenger. Dieno was able to beat Honda in the scheduled main event to win back the title. He promised to remain champion for one year straight so he can become the longest reigning Iron Man Champion of all time. His pet dog Haku will also help him protect the belt from now on. However Dieno is already getting paranoid that Makoto Oishi will take the title from him and bring it to his new home in Sendai. Oishi kind of denies it, only telling Dieno he isn’t planning on letting his daughter win it…

Akito is now thinking of tomorrow’s match against Takeshi Masada, which is going to main event the show. Akito has proven he can beat top tier wrestlers and can be a capable challenger for tag team titles. He wants to go all out against Masada tomorrow and will be thinking about nothing else.

There was another post-match attack from Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami towards Yukio Naya. This time Kawakami taped Naya’s hands to the ring post and then hit him across the back with a chair. He told Naya not to come back for their singles match until he gets into shape. Daisuke Sasaki is also warming up to Kawakami idea of turning DAMNATION T.A into FIRE DAMNATION.

The second of three shows held in Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR today was a collaboration between the Ganbare☆Joshi division and the women from 666. Well, some of the wrestlers on the 666 side were gender swapped parodies of other wrestlers. In the main event Ram Kaichow, Maya Yukihi & YuuRI fought a gender swapped parody of Ozaki-gun with Onryo as Mayumi Ozaki, Konaka = Pehlwan as Maya Yukihi and Ken Ohka as Yumi Ohka (Ken claims he and Yuki are actually cousins). Also earlier in the show Rina Yamashita had to fight herself as played by Taro Yamada.

Heisei: Mizuki Watase, Gaia Hox, Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami and Daisuke®️

There was a tripleshot of shows between Ganbare☆Pro and 666 all taking place in Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR today. The first show was an all men’s event held by GanPro. They put together a mini tournament splitting the roster between wrestlers born in the 1970s, born in the 1980s and those considered to be part of the Heisei generation. Each team won a match on the undercard so the main event was all up for grabs in a 3 Way Match. Yumehito Imanari was the last man standing, ensuring that the 1980s team were crowned the winners. They were rewarded with a 100,000 yen voucher from the noodle restaurant sponsoring the show.

Imanari said the most moving pro wrestling scene to those born in the 1980s was Masahiro Chono and Keiji Muto wrestling each other in the very first G1 final. He does not believe pro wrestling has gone downhill since then but his generation got to watch World Pro-Wrestling and the Nippon TV broadcasts of All Japan matches. That means wrestlers his age all have the desire to recreate the excitement of what they watched back then. With this success Imanari now wants to turn that momentum into winning a championship.

So far Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami keeps thinking DAMNATION T.A should be called FIRE DAMNATION. Perhaps Daisuke Sasaki and the rest should be careful hanging out with him for too long.

Place Of Unknown Origin: MJ Paul, Ilusion

The KO-D Tag Team Champions want to increase their number of defences. BURNING already has a tag match coming up against Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada so they want the titles to be on the line for it.

DDT/GCW “NEVER ENDING NOISY SUMMER”, 12/08/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Vs GCW Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Effy
2. GCW World Title – 3 Way Hardcore Match: Mance Warner (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata Vs Joey Janela
3. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Alex Zayne

Two championship matches built around DDT Vs GCW have been added to the show. MAO is going to defend the DDT Universal Title against Alex Zayne. Meanwhile Shunma Katsumata is getting himself in the middle of Mance Warner and Joey Janella’s grudge over the GCW World Title. A Hardcore 3 Way Match is going to add fuel to that fire.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2024 IN SHINJUKU – DAY 1”, 15/08/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Blindfold Hidden Breast 4 Way Match: Chris Brookes Vs Antonio Honda Vs Super Sasadango Machine Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Drunk Match: HARASHIMA Vs Masahiro Takanashi

The two wrestlers who are considered the biggest drinkers in DDT will face off in a drunk match. HARASHIMA and Masahiro Takanashi are going to drink each other under the table rather than put each other through one.

Danhausen, Joey Janela and Effy will all be part of the Beer Garden show since they will already be in Japan for the GCW tour. I hear Danhausen is still under AEW contract but both parties have become sick of each other so he gets to do stuff like this away from AEW until his deal runs out.

The GCW only shows on their tour are still going to have DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro talent involved but I’ll save writing about them until the shows take place. I don’t know why they think Broski Jimmy Vs Miyu Yamashita is a good idea but it’s happening.

DDT “WEDDING VENUE PRO WRESTLING SUMMER FESTIVAL IN SENTIR LA SAISON GIFU”, 31/08/2024
Gifu Sentir la Saison

1. X Vs X
2. X Vs X
3. X Vs X
4. X Vs X

The demand for DDT’s offer to hold wrestling matches at weddings is so much that they will be doing two events at Sentir la Saison on the day. The afternoon event will be an outdoor show consisting of four matches held inside a wrestling ring

DDT “WEDDING ROJO PRO WRESTLING”, 31/08/2024
Gifu Sentir la Saison

1. Falls Count Anywhere Match: X Vs X

Then in the evening DDT will hold a Falls Count Anywhere match in the wedding venue!

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA 2024”, 08/09/2024
Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall

1. Special Single Match: Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami Vs Yukio Naya

There are still a few tag matches between Kawakami and Yukio Naya leading up to this match. But Naya knows the only way he is going to deal with Kawakami is to beat him one on one.

DDT “AFTER PETER PAN 2024 IN SHINJUKU” Results

July 26, 2024

DDT “AFTER PETER PAN 2024 IN SHINJUKU”, 26/07/2024
Shinjuku FACE
248 Fans

1. Special Single Match: Kazuki Hirata defeated Yuni by Disqualification when Yuni was deemed to have attacked Hirata with a Chair (8:05).
2. Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku defeated Antonio Honda & Ilusion when Endo pinned Ilusion with the Spinning Torture Rack Bomb (9:45).
3. Special Single Match: Yuki Iino defeated MJ Paul with the Spear (9:37).
4. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Keigo Nakamura with the Somato (10:35).
5. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki defeated Akito with a Piledriver (7:41).
6. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami & KANON defeated Yukio Naya, Soma Takao & Kazuma Sumi when Kawakami pinned Sumi with the Thunder Fire Bomb (12:22).
7. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno, Makoto Oishi & Takeshi Masada when Ueno pinned Masada with the WR (22:14).

With “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2024” in the rear view mirror today was the first look towards what directions everyone in DDT will be taking towards the next Sumo Hall show at the end of the year. The 37KAMIINA are now whole again thanks to MAO ending his runaway phase and rejoining the group. They won their match in the main event against a collection of DDT wrestlers. Among them was Makoto Oishi who this week announced his plans to leave DDT and go freelance in October. One of his requests was to wrestle against MAO & Shunma Katsumata again, which he did today. To-y got caught up in the moment and joined in with calling Oishi “Master” even though he has no connection to him. After the match Ueno welcomed MAO back to The 37KAMIINA and talked about how much he missed him. Backstage MAO and Katsumata both said they want to have a 3 Way Match with Oishi to be the NωA reunion part of Oishi’s farewell tour. Danshoku Dieno also approached Oishi wanting the two of them to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles.

Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami added salt to Yukio Naya’s wounds after their match by telling him he hasn’t been working out enough. This provoked Naya into attacking him but DAMNATION T.A all ganged up on Naya with a chair and left him in a beaten pile. Kawakami’s advice is Naya should either gain 5-10kg or lose weight. He also keeps calling DAMNATION T.A “FIRE DAMNATION” but Daisuke Sasaki has to remind him that’s not what the unit is called. Naya’s response was to challenge Kawakami to a singles match. That will happen in Nagoya on 8th September.

The next challenger for Ueno and the KO-D Openweight Title is showing off how dangerous an opponent he is going to be. Shinya Aoki outgrappled Akito before using a Piledriver on him to get the win. His warning to Ueno is loud and clear. Aoki can kill him as both a fighter and as a wrestler! Ueno watched his speech from the ring entrance.

More challengers are on the way for BURNING. As mentioned above, Dieno & Oishi could be on the hunt for a future shot at the KO-D Tag Titles. But first BURNING wants to defend the belts against SCHADENFREUDE International. After Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku won their tag match, Endo made a request for their match against Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada in Osaka on 10th August to have the titles on the line.

Backstage Ilusion asked Antonio Honda if he could join SCHADENFREUDE International. Honda could not make the decision by himself because Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi are both wrestling in Thailand currently.

A ref bump happened in the opener so Kazuki Hirata poured ketchup over his head and made sure Yuni was holding a chair when the Yukinori Matsui recovered. Matsui thought Yuni violently attacked Hirata so he disqualified him. Matsui scolded Yuni and said he doesn’t remember raising him like this!

Shin-Kiba 1st RING
284 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Suzume, Arisu Endo & Shino Suzuki defeated Wakana Uehara, Toga & Chika Nanase when Suzume pinned Nanase with the Mikazuki Meteor Shower (10:51).
2. 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated HIMAWARI and Uta Takami when Nakajima pinned Takami with the Northern Lights Suplex (7:21).

5. Nao Kakuta Graduation Match: Mizuki defeated Nao Kakuta with the Cutie Special (15:33).

It was a bumpy road to retirement for Nao Kakuta. A back injury ended up cancelling some of her final matches in order to give her enough recovery time to make today happen. But it did take place and everyone in Tokyo Joshi Pro made sure to make the match a memorable one for Kakuta. When she and her opponent Mizuki kept pulling at each other’s hair. Mizuki complained that Kakuta always breaks the rules and will be a bad guy until the very end. Mizuki and the seconds at ringside then chased Kakuta out of the room. When they returned, the entire roster joined the chase into the ring. Mizuki then led the entire roster into a Train attack on Kakuta in the corner. This included the injured Haruna Neko and Hyper Misao both being carried along so they could be part of it too. Tetsuya Koda was also forced to join in but Kakuta blocked his attack with a Big Boot. The match went back to being just Kakuta versus Mizuki. Kakuta was almost counted out at one point but was able to fight back until Mizuki pinned her with the Cutie Special.

The two hugged each other after the match. Kakuta told everyone that when she was injured, Mizuki cried because it upset her so much. Kakuta cried too and was happy that there was someone else crying for her. That’s why she is happy her last match was against Mizuki. The graduation ceremony had Kakuta receive gifts and goodbyes from Tae Honma, Miyuki Takase, Momo Tani, Arisu Endo and Yuki Kamifuku. Kakuta gave her speech and said she was able to wrestle for 9 years because of everyone who supported her and cheered her on. Thanks to TJPW she fell in love with wrestling even more. Her advice for when something bad happens is to come see TJPW because everyone here will make you happy. She said everyone in the audience and watching at home are all her life’s treasures. The ten bell salute was given and she was announced as “Rat Chaser” Nao Kakuta for the final time.

Oishi Leaving DDT, Takagi Becoming UJPW Spokesman, International Updates

July 25, 2024

Yesterday DDT and Makoto Oishi held a press conference on short notice to talk about Oishi’s future. He announced that on 3rd October he will be leaving DDT when his contract ends and will be wrestling as a freelancer from that point onwards. He explained that his father-in-law recently passed away so he and his wife Misaki Ohata decided to move their home to Miyagi so Ohata could live closer to her family. During this time Oishi has lived alone in Tokyo while taking trips to see his family once or twice a month. With his children growing up he decided he wants to spend more time raising them in Miyagi. Akito revealed that Oishi has also been working behind the scenes jobs in DDT on a contract basis so it is a big deal for the company that he is leaving. One of Oishi’s jobs was to drive the company bus. It allowed him to get a driver’s license that allows him to work as a taxi driver if he wants to. He joked about possibly becoming the taxi driver for The Saito Brothers.

Oishi will continue to wrestle as a freelancer but he is aware he will be getting less bookings because of his age and location. DDT will still book him for shows they want him on, especially those that take place in Sendai as well as big arena events. Oishi would like to continue teaming with Danshoku Dieno & Jun Akiyama as part of D.O.A. He also wants to wrestle against people like Shunma Katsumata, MAO and Tetsuya Endo before his contract runs out.

Oishi has already contacted Chihiro Hashimoto asking her to let him train at the Sendai Girls dojo. Since Oishi was responsible for training many of the celebrities and entertainers that wrestled in DDT, Sanshiro Takagi suggested he can send them over to Oishi and that dojo in Sendai from now on.

———————————————————————–

Over a week ago the members of United Japan Pro Wrestling all had a meeting to discuss the next steps for the alliance between many of Japan’s pro wrestling companies. The decision was made to have UJPW to become incorporated in order to strengthen their communication with the Japanese government as well as improve the guidelines for their wrestlers. When this move is completed Sanshiro Takagi will serve UJPW as their main Spokesman.

UJPW currently represents 11 wrestling promotions across 9 companies. The 11 promotions are New Japan, Stardom, All Japan, Big Japan, DDT, DIANA, Dragongate, Ganbare☆Pro, Kyushu Pro, NOAH and Tokyo Joshi Pro. DIANA and Kyushu Pro are new additions but I do not know when they signed up to join UJPW. Although it should be noted that DIANA’s representatives were only at the meeting “in an observing capacity”, whatever that means.

GANBARE☆JOSHI/666 “DOKI! ALL WOMEN PRO WRESTLING BOX OFFICE ~THE VIRGIN SUICIDES~”, 27/07/2024

The women of Ganbare☆Joshi and 666 will be taking on what looks to be a team of gender swapped parodies of Maya Yukihi and Mayumi Ozaki. Also on the undercard Taro Yamada is pretending to be Rina Yamashita.

Moeka Haruhi tested positive for covid and will not be at the show. She was meant to be in the main event but will be replaced by a mystery X wrestler.

Droog-K is the former KANNA from TJPW. She returned to wrestling earlier this year as part of P.P.P. Tokyo.

The Tokyo Princess Cup begins this weekend. I don’t think that’s the actual match order. If it is then that’s weird for a tournament to begin with the second round before the first.

The Iron Fist Tag Team Titles are on the line when Astronauts face KUBITO & Daisuke Sasaki in their first defence. KUBITO made the request for Sasaki to team up with him because they grew up wrestling together as proteges of Dick Togo.

Isami Kodaka is working double duty on the show. He is taking on Yuki Ishikawa in one of Ishikawa’s last matches before his retirement. Also Kodaka will be Takeru Inoue’s opponent for his debut match.

July 25, 2024

Catching up on a lot of news I missed over the last week so expect a lot of separate posts today.

DDT “AFTER PETER PAN 2024 IN SHINJUKU”, 26/07/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku Vs Antonio Honda & Ilusion
2. Special Single Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuni

7. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno, Makoto Oishi & Takeshi Masada

Reunited and back to full strength, The 37KAMIINA are taking on a mixture of DDT talent in the main event of tomorrow’s show.

DAMNATION T.A has a new ally in the form of Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami. He’s here in DDT to fight Yukio Naya first and foremost.

With a KO-D Openweight Title shot coming up in his future, Shinya Aoki is starting his preparations with a match against Akito.

DDT “AFTER PETER PAN 2024 IN NAGOYA – DAY 1”, 27/07/2024
Aichi Nagoya Imaike Gas Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Makoto Oishi Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuni

6. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Danshoku Dieno (c) Vs Antonio Honda

The match between Danshoku Dieno and Antonio Honda is confirmed to be the main event even if the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title is not involved by the time the match happens. The rest of the card is not in its final match order yet.

DDT “AFTER PETER PAN 2024 IN NAGOYA – DAY 2”, 28/07/2024

5. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami Vs Yukio Naya & Keigo Nakamura
6. Special Single Match: Akito Vs Takeshi Masada

Similar setup here. Takeshi Masada’s first ever singles match against Akito is the headline match, everything else is currently out of order.

It’s an unofficial DISASTER BOX reunion as HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata are all teaming up again. Is this going to work out like the Smile Squash revival did?

1. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul Vs Toru Owashi, Yukio Naya & Ilusion

The East Vs West lineup is now complete.

DDT/GCW “NEVER ENDING NOISY SUMMER”, 12/08/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Vs GCW Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Effy

The first match announced is probably the most DDT Vs GCW match the two companies could come up with together. Dieno takes on Effy!

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2024 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 17/08/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Michael Nakazawa

The return of Michael Nakazawa to DDT was probably not as golden as he thought it was going to be, especially when it got overshadowed by Kota Ibushi minutes later. Still, Nakazawa came in to be used as a weapon against Dieno and that’s an issue that still needs to be settled. So the two are going to have a match against each other next month.

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2024”, 25/08/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

Yuki Ueno has chosen Shinya Aoki to be his seventh challenger for this KO-D Title reign. Aoki taught him a lot with the matches they had together last year and now Ueno believes he can beat him. Also the match Aoki wants to do most nowadays is to fight Ueno in a DDT ring.
