BASARA “BASARA 252 ~TAKAGARI 26~”, 15/07/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. KUBITO, Yasu Urano & Masahiro Takanashi Vs Ryota Nakatsu, Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino
2. SAGAT & Judo Master Vs Banana Senga & Karate Master
3. Isami Kodaka & Lil’ Kraken Vs Daichi Kazato & Tsutomu Oosugi
4. FUMA Vs Gaia Hox
5. Union MAX Title: Minoru Fujita (c) Vs Takumi Tsukamoto

Gaia Hox is getting a big match against FUMA.

First it was Judo Master who appeared in the BASARA ring to learn pro wrestling. Now a masked man by the name of Karate Master has shown up looking to do the same. It’s a good thing too because Ryuichi Sekine slept through the last show and BASARA needed a last second replacement when they couldn’t find him.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’24”, 20/07/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Nao Kakuta
2. Special Single Match: Aja Kong Vs Shoko Nakajima
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Suzume & Arisu Endo (c) Vs Yuki Arai & Moka Miyamoto
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi

The contracts for the two title matches at Korakuen Hall have been signed. We also got to hear about how Miu Watanabe and Rika Tatsumi are preparing for the Princess Of Princess Title match. Tatsumi is feeling confident because she has never lost to Watanabe previously. She often has a strategy for her matches. It’s just that once the bell rings, all of that strategy goes out the window and Tatsumi doesn’t realize what she is doing. That may explain her habit of strangling her opponents during matches. Watanabe understands that kind of creativity when she is next to Tatsumi but could never recreate it by herself. She thinks the key to finally beating Tatsumi will be a sudden burst of emotion that happens in the moment.

When Yuki Arai heard that Moka Miyamoto wanted to challenge Daisy Monkey for the Princess Tag Team Titles she offered to be her partner. It wasn’t that long ago when Arai said she was considering fighting for another championship before her next International Princess Title defence takes place. So the timing of Miyamoto looking for a tag title shot couldn’t have been better. It’s not a random pairing either. Arai & Miyamoto entered the 2022 Max Heart Tournament as a team and even defeated Daisy Monkey in the 2nd Round! Suzume & Arisu Endo both remember that loss and would love to get revenge.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HYPAMI AID” Results

June 27, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HYPAMI AID”, 27/06/2024
Tokyo LOFT9 Shibuya
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Single Match: Hyper Rika defeated Demonio Uno with the I Am A Hero from the Ladder (11:45).

While Hyper Misao is recovering from her ankle injury, Rika Tatsumi and Yuki Aino helped put together a fan event for her to help pay for her medical expenses. During the event the lights went out and a video of Demonio Uno played on the screen. There was negative aura inside LOFT9 Shibuya that attracted Uno to the venue. Normally Misao would be the hero and save the day but she is injured. Aino was also still feeling the effects of a recent illness. That means it was all up to Tatsumi to save the day!

Tatsumi was given Misao’s hero costume to change into and she returned to the room as Hyper Rika! Uno attacked Rika and chased her around the room. Misao helped out by spraying Uno in the face and Rika followed up by hitting Uno with the Hip Attack. Then on the stage Rika climbed a Ladder and used Misao’s finisher I Am A Hero to pin Uno for the three count.

DDT “SANSHIRO TAKAGI VS SUPER SASADANGO MACHINE ONE MATCH EVENT” Results

June 26, 2024

DDT “SANSHIRO TAKAGI VS SUPER SASADANGO MACHINE ONE MATCH EVENT”, 26/06/2024
Shinjuku FACE
346 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Special Single Match: Toru Yano defeated Super Sasadango Machine with a School Boy (66:52).

48 years ago today Antonio Inoki and Muhammad Ali had their famous fight at the Nippon Budokan. That has nothing to do with today’s one match show between Sanshiro Takagi and Super Sasadango Machine. Instead the novelty of this match was the 51 kinds of tickets that were sold for the show, many of which allowed the ticket holders to have an interactive role of some sort. The majority of them sold out too! The only tickets that did not have any takers was the one priced 999,999 yen with a luxery gift watch included and also a ticket that allowed a fan to present a home made prize to the winner.

Many of the tickets gave fans different roles on the show, from getting to read out the pre-match announcements, hitting the ring bell, taking command of the ring lights, being the ringside seconds for either wrestler, acting as the ringside photographer and more. There were also four “Surprise Experience” tickets sold that allowed people to intefere in the match. It was announced beforehand that the ticket buyers were pro wrestlers Cherry, Erina Yamanaka, Hen China and Maku Donaruto.

When the match began Takagi and Sasadango kept it simple for the opening minutes. Then all of a sudden Toru Yano arrived in the venue to present Takagi with sake and a bouquet of flowers. Sasadango had spent the week trying to get Yano to attend the show but couldn’t get him to commit. However he decline to stick around to watch the match and left.

Takagi Hit Sasadango with the bouquet and then spat the sake in Sasadango’s face as they fought outside the ring. One of the tickets allowed Takagi and Sasadango to fight next to a fan and pose for pictures with them. Once they found the fan they gave him a close look at their fighting and held something like a group photo for him.

After that the four surprise wrestlers did their interference spots one by one Royal Rumble entry style. Cherry was first and said she came to express her gratitude to Takagi. She did that by putting him in an Achilles Tendon Hold. Erina Yamanaka ran in and hit Takagi with a Thrusting Knee strike in the corner. Hen China brought out a long rubber strap, got fans to stretch it back and then let it go so it snapped into Takagi’s face. Maku Donaruto turned things blue by doing lewd things to whoever he could get his hands on.

Takagi fled the ring and went over to the seat where fans a prohibited from laughing. There he found Stardom wrestler Momo Kohgo in the seat and he couldn’t help but laugh. He had to be punished for breaking the rule so Kohgo spanked him with a bat. Kohgo started laughing as well so Takagi grabbed the bat and spanked her back. More people started to laugh including those sitting in the celebrity seats so soon everybody was getting spanked!

Back in the ring the four surprise wrestlers started to gang up on Sasadango. He called a time out so the person who bought a ticket to be his substitute could come in and get stamped instead. The wrestlers didn’t even notice the substitution even happened until Hisaya Imabayashi pointed out the person’s impressive chest hair.

More ticket guarantees were claimed including those celebrating birthdays. One ticket in particular that had a lot of offers was to celebrare a person’s retirement. A woman bought the ticket for her father who recently retired from a career he worked in for 42 years. He was given the full blown pro wrestling retirement ceremony and used “Spartan X” as his music.

More celebrities and random guests including a Jushin Liger lookalike got to be involved in the match. It took around 45 minutes for all of the ticket guarantees to be used up. By that point Takagi and Sasadango agreed to fight each other fair and square until the finish.

However after a Double Lariat knocked both wrestlers down, Sasadango grabbed the microphone. He said once the match ends they will never have to fight each other anymore and that makes him sad. He doesn’t want to settle their rivalry after all! Takagi agreed and Sasadango brought up his latest PowerPoint presentation.

There is one person that Sasadango wants to fight because of the #OhkaEmpire show that took place nine years ago. That show happened during the height of DDT’s working relationship with New Japan and the main event was HARASHIMA & Ken Ohka beating Hiroshi Tanahashi & Yohei Komatsu (now known as YOH) in the main event. It turns out that a certain Toru Yano was incredibly angry about the result at the time. When Sasadango found out about it he knew that someday he would have to fight him to continue the DDT Vs New Japan rivalry. That day is today!

Takagi gave Sasadango his blessing to change the match into Sasadango Vs Yano. Out came Yano in his full ring gear and he quickly started removing the ring corner pads. He lured Sasadango out of the ring and taped his legs together. The ringside seconds wearing Sasadango masks helped the real one return to the ring in time to avoid the count out.

Sasadango then dared Yano to tape his own feet together so they could fight each other on even terms. He agreed to do it just because he was defending the honour of New Japan. Yano then realised he couldn’t give Sasadango a Low Blow so he grabbed a pair of scissors. Sasadango took the scissors from him and tried to cut his hair off. When the ref stopped him Sasadango then pulled off his own mask and placed it over Yano’s face like a blindfold.

Yano was given two Lehmann Shocks but he kicked out of the pin. He then pleaded just like Sasadango did to have the tape cut off so they could fight on even terms again. Sasadango did so, the two shook hands and then Yano gave him a Low Blow. Yano then took off his own shirt, pulled it over Sasadango’s face and rolled him up with a School Boy to win the match.

Sasadango thanked Yano for coming to the show today despite his busy schedule. He removed his King Of Sasadango title belt from his waist and presented it to Yano for beating him. Yano said it is an honor to receive this belt but also too heavy of a burden for him to handle so he gave it back to Sasadango and left the ring.

At the end of the show Takagi promised he will fight Sasadango again after he comes back from his break from pro wrestling. Sasadango was disappointed he lost the latest DDT Vs New Japan match but is certain Konosuke Takeshita will get revenge when he enters the G1 Climax this summer. Backstage Takagi praised Sasadango/Muscle Sakai for being a genius promoter because today’s show barely had any personnel costs nor staff fees!

HARASHIMA Vs Naya Rematch, Water Lumberjack Death Match, 3 Way For 6-Man Tag Titles

June 25, 2024

DDT “SANSHIRO TAKAGI VS SUPER SASADANGO MACHINE ONE MATCH EVENT”, 26/06/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Super Sasadango Machine

Apparently a lot of the wacky novelty tickets for the show have in fact been sold. Also Super Sasadango Machine tried inviting Toru Yano to come see the match in person. Unfortunately Yano’s schedule is too busy for him to attend the show tomorrow.

DDT “TODEN PRO WRESTLING”, 29/06/2024
Tokyo Sakura Tram (Toden Arakawa Line)

1. Falls Count Anywhere Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs Sanshiro Takagi

A busy week for Sanshiro Takagi. He has the wrestling match in a tram with Minoru Suzuki happening a few days later.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “PRECIOUS TIME ’24”, 29/06/2024

1. Haru Kazashiro Vs Chika Nanase

5. Miyu Yamashita & Toga Vs Mizuki & Shino Suzuki
6. Miu Watanabe, Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Rika Tatsumi, Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami
7. Shoko Nakajima & Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Nao Kakuta & Yuki Aino

Now that Moka Miyamoto is looking for a Princess Tag Team Titles match in the future she needs to go find a partner. Could her match here provide a clue? If “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’24” is the destination for her title challenge then that rules Rika Tatsumi out of the equation but not Kaya Toribami. Does Toribami fight with the same passion as Miyamoto though? Doesn’t seem like a good fit to me.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2024”, 30/06/2024

6. Special Tag Match ~ Unagi Warriors Vs Brahman Brothers!: Sanshiro Unagi & Sayaka Unagi Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei

Looks like Unagi Warriors Vs Brahman Brothers is main eventing the next Beer Garden show. The two teams could tear the entire theater apart if they’re not careful!

DDT “ROAD TO PETER PAN 2024 TOUR IN ODAWARA”, 07/07/2024

7. Sanshiro Takagi Indefinite Rest Road ~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Yoshiaki Yatsu & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan Vs Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku

The last time HARASHIMA and Yukio Naya fought each other was for a No. 1 Contender’s match back in February 2023. Naya won that match during his main event push for DDT’s anniversary show that year. Can Naya win again in the rematch or has HARASHIMA’s constant training caught him back up to the young heavyweight?

There hasn’t been much about D.O.A as a unit to talk about since they lost the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. They have a chance to shove their way back into a crowded title scene if they beat The 37KAMIINA here.

5. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs MAO

The match for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles is now getting crowded thanks to recent developments. Over the weekend DAMNATION T.A stole some of the title belts from Smile Squash after beating them in a tag match. Meanwhile To-y from The 37KAMIINA is also making demands for a title shot with Shunma Katsumata and an unknown third man as his partners. Smile Squash decided to let both teams fight them in a 3 Way Match for the titles so everything can get cleared up once the dust settles. As to who Katsumata & To-y are teaming with, they keep declining to say who it is out loud.

YuuRI Wins ICE×∞ Title In Ice Ribbon

June 24, 2024

ICE RIBBON “AFTER THE RAIN, RIBBON 2024”, 23/06/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,088 Fans – No Vacancy

2. Ancham, Tsukina Umino & Nanae Furukawa defeated Totoro Satsuki, Yuna Manase & Asuka Fujitaki when Umino pinned Satsuki with a Hurricanrana (16:31).
6. ICE×∞ Title Decision Match: YuuRI defeated Hamuko Hoshi with the Swanton Bomb (21:53).
*YuuRI becomes the 38th ICE×∞ Champion!

One of the places you will often find YuuRI wrestle in away from Ganbare☆Pro is Ice Ribbon. She’s been doing pretty well there too, going as far as to win the ICE×∞ Title last summer. Earlier this year the ICE×∞ Title had to be vacated when the champion Ibuki Hoshi, the person who won the belt from YuuRI, announced she was pregnant. Ice Ribbon held a league tournament to determine a new champion and the final came down to YuuRI versus Hamuko Hoshi (who just so happens to be Ibuki’s mother). YuuRI broke Hoshi down with Thrust Kicks and Buzzsaw Kicks until she could hit the Swanton Bomb. One wasn’t enough so YuuRI had to hit it again to win the tournament and become champion again. In her victory speech she declared herself the superhero of Ice Ribbon! GanPro will always be her home but she considers Ice Ribbon her second home and does not want to be considered an outsider champion this time round.

Yuna Manase also likes to spend time wrestling in Ice Ribbon. She has a tag team here with Totoro Satsuki called BIG★DEKAI!!! and they are currently the International Ribbon Tag Team Champions (YuuRI held the title last year too). They have yet to have a title defence, instead they wrestled on this show with Asuka Fujitaki losing a 6-Woman Tag Match against Ancham, Tsukina Umino & Nanae Furukawa.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2024 TOUR IN HAMAMATSU” Results

June 23, 2024

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2024 TOUR IN HAMAMATSU”, 23/06/2024
Shizuoka Act City Hamamatsu
247 Fans

1. Toru Owashi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Makoto Oishi & To-y when Matsunaga pinned Oishi with a European Clutch (6:03).
2. Keigo Nakamura & Kazuma Sumi defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Nakamura pinned Hirata with a Modified Crucifix Pin (0:05).
2a. Rematch: Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata defeated Keigo Nakamura & Kazuma Sumi when Dieno pinned Sumi with the Danshoku Driver (4:46).
3. Smile Squash Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated HARASHIMA & Akito when Sasaki submitted Akito with the Crossface Lock (10:20).
4. Sanshiro Takagi Indefinite Rest Road ~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Akiyama & Yoshitatsu defeated Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Yuya Koroku when Yoshitatsu pinned Koroku with the Yoshi Jam (12:09).
5. Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo defeated KANON with the Burning Star Press (15:12).
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs SCHADENFREUDE International!: MAO & Shunma Katsumata defeated Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada when MAO pinned Masada with the Iai Kick (21:06).

The 37KAMIINA continues their strong run lately with another main event win. After the match MAO told the fans he will definitely win the KO-D Openweight Title next month, Shunma Katsumata will continue to defend the DDT Extreme Title and will soon along with To-y win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles with a third guy he doesn’t know about.

However the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles are currently being held captive by DAMNATION T.A. Well, at least two of the three title belts are. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul beat HARASHIMA & Akito from Smile Squash and then stole their belts after a post-match attack. Then when DAMNATION T.A left the ring, Katsumata & To-y came in to challenge Smile Squash for the titles like they did yesterday. Though they still refuse to tell anyone who their other tag partner will be. HARASHIMA & Akito both accepted the challenge because HARASHIMA likes the idea of the 6-Man Tag Titles being defended in a 3 Way Match. Backstage Sasaki said the titles do not suit Smile Squash. Instead it will be DAMNATION T.A “defending” the belts against whoever they deem worthy enough at Sumo Hall.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’24” Results

June 23, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’24”, 23/06/2024
Shizuoka Act City Hamamatsu
237 Fans

1. Mahiro Kiryu defeated Chika Nanase with the Hotei Raoyui (6:19).
2. Shoko Nakajima & Kira Summer defeated Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami when Nakajima submitted Takami with a Butterfly Lock (8:11).
3. Mizuki defeated Runa Okubo with the Face Lock (8:46).
4. Nao Kakuta defeated Shino Suzuki with the Shiden Kai (9:26).
5. Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Itoh submitted Harajuku with the Itoh Deluxe (10:05).
6. Miyu Yamashita, Moka Miyamoto & Toga defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & Kaya Toribami when Miyamoto submitted Endo with the Rashomon (13:27).
7. Miu Watanabe & Wakana Uehara defeated Rika Tatsumi & HIMAWARI when Watanabe pinned HIMAWARI with the Tear Drop (13:01).

Two regular tag teams were mixed together in the main event. Daydream were having a prelim match against each other that also had Wakana Uehara and HIMAWARI involved. Rika Tatsumi & HIMAWARI worked together to get Uehara out of the way but Miu Watanabe came in to clean house. She got rid of Tatsumi with a Power Slam and then pinned HIMAWARI with the Tear Drop. Watanabe said the match made her more excited for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’24” on 20th July. However she does not have a good read on Tatsumi yet. Tatsumi admits that Watanabe has become a real threat in the ring and today she felt the pain that she least wants to experience.

In a little bit of an upset Moka Miyamoto made Arisu Endo give up to the Rashomon in a 6-Woman Tag Match! The result came from Miyamoto countering out of Endo’s Ju no Okite finisher. Miyamoto reminded everyone afterward that she wants to fight for a championship soon. She laid out those plans after her match with Hikaru Shida earlier this month. Well based on today’s result Miyamoto now wants to challenge Daisy Monkey for the Princess Tag Team Titles. She will go look for a tag partner who can fight with the same passion she has. Both Suzume & Endo see her as an opponent they have to beat so they will accept her challenge.

Pom Harajuku brought along unagi pies as souvenirs for almost everyone in her match including the referee. She did not have any left for Yuki Kamifuku and Maki Itoh wouldn’t share any of hers. That caused Kamifuku to get upset and spend most of the match crying outside the ring while Itoh had to fight RakuPom by herself. Raku put Itoh into a Sleeper Hold, forcing a desperate Itoh to tell Kamifuku she can take her souvenir just so she will get back into the match and help her win.

Shizuoka’s own Shino Suzuki was given a special match against Nao Kakuta as part of Kakuta’s retirement road. Suzuki came close to winning with a Sleeper Hold but Kakuta was able to get a rope break and then win with the Shiden Kai. She was surprised to discover first hand just how much potential Suzuki has. It reminds her of herself when she was a rookie. Kakuta will be watching Suzuki from a distance soon and hopes she will rapidly grow in an environment as wonderful as Tokyo Joshi Pro.

Yuki Aino was pulled from the show because she was feeling unwell. That changed the card a little bit resulting in Mizuki Vs Runa Okubo and Mahiro Kiryu Vs Chika Nanase both happening.

-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: CIMA defeated Keigo Nakamura (c) with a School Boy (6:48 pm).
*CIMA becomes the 1,647th champion.
7. Special Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata defeated Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida when MAO pinned Ishida after the Our Mad Max (19:56).

The show was missing Yuki Ueno due to illness and Kazusada Higuchi due to injury so MAO took it as an opportunity to take the reigns of DDT in their absence. He and Shunma Katsumata wanted to do their best and since Ueno was missing, MAO became bold and said he will definitely beat him for the KO-D Openweight Title at Sumo Hall on 21st July! He also congratulated Yuki Ishida for moving to Osaka and is confident he will become a success here with his sumo endeavors.

The long awaited team-up of Sanshiro Takagi & CIMA lasted five seconds. In a reverse of what usually happens, Kazuki Hirata immediately rolled up Takagi for the three count. Takagi accepted defeat, leaving CIMA confused. It’s been over three years since CIMA was last in DDT and the Takagi that he knows would not take this lying down. He demanded a rematch this time under Captain’s Fall Rules. The other side agreed and the match restarted with CIMA and Hirata as the captains. Danshoku Dieno with the help of Makoto Oishi set up the Hell Gate but CIMA avoided that terrible fate. Instead Takagi gave Hirata the Stunner and stabbed Dieno with the Kancho while CIMA pinned Hirata with the Somato.

Takagi said he was happy for the chance to team with CIMA before going on his break. CIMA suggested that DDT and GLEAT do another joint show in the near future, this time in Osaka. As he went to leave the ring he noticed Keigo Nakamura was holding the ropes down for him while wearing the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. CIMA acted nice towards him but it was only so he could roll him up in the ring and win the Iron Man Title from him! Backstage Takagi warned CIMA the belt is on the line 24 hours and he won’t be able to get any sleep because of it. He was proven right because Tsutenkakka then tried to attack CIMA in a failed attempt to win the belt.

Both Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada tried hiding in the audience during Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku’s entrance but their opponents caught them anyway. Endo then insulted Masada for not having any friends but apparently he did have some in the audience.

After HARASHIMA’s match both To-y & Katsumata entered the ring. To-y told HARASHIMA that The 37KAMIINA wants a shot at the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles and Katsumata was going to be one of his partners. HARASHIMA pointed out that Smile Squash are already scheduled to defend the belts against DAMNATION T.A at Sumo Hall on 21st July. But if To-y wants the match then he will talk to Akito & Yasu Urano about it. However he noticed that To-y & Katsumata need another partner. The two muttered to each other and announced they know who the other member of their team will be. Except they refused to tell anyone who it is. Yukinori Matsui got mad at them for keeping it a secret and told them the challenge was not official yet.

Yesterday Shunma Katsumata won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Kazuma Sumi in a 5 Way Match held at a sauna that also had the DDT Extreme Title on the line. However later that night Keigo Nakamura and Daisuke Kiso snuck into a room where Katsumata was sleeping under a blanket. Nakamura told Kiso to count the blanket pinning Katsumata for a title change. He then grabbed the blanket and put it in a Sleeper Hold, telling Kiso to lift and drop it three times. The blanket didn’t respond so Kiso declared Nakamura the new champion. He now has the belt going into this weekend’s shows. Sumi will be going after him so he can win the title again.
