*Yuki Ueno becomes the 1,917th champion.

After today we’re done with the Beer Garden shows for the rest of the year. It ends on a bright point for Kaisei Takechi who got to compete in his first DDT style Falls Count Anywhere match teaming up with The 37KAMIINA. Before the match began Shunma Katsumata tried rolling up his own teammate Yuki Ueno to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Ueno kicked out so Katsumata ran away from the ring, briefly delaying the match from starting. Takechi fought with HARASHIMA around the venue before joining To-y so they could push each other on a cart along the aisleway. The opposing team put Sanshiro Takagi on a second cart and the two carts crashed into each other. Katsumata then rolled up Ueno again, this time succeeding to win the title. Junta Miyawaki built a castle of chairs nearby but Akito couldn’t find the Dramatic Dream bike anywhere. Suddenly Takechi was seen piloting it into the venue and cycling straight toward the chair castle. Everyone on the other team jumped out of the way as Takechi bumped his entire team into the chairs. He made up for the mistake by diving off the stage onto HARASHIMA & Akito. Ueno & Katsumata then fought with Takagi using chairs, coming out on top because of the numbers game. Katsumata climbed up to the balcony where he hit the Totonou Splash from three metres high onto Takagi through a table to win the match. Ueno then ruined Katsumata’s celebration by putting him in a Sleeper Hold to win back the Iron Man Title. He did the same to To-y when To-y tried to win the belt off him. Takechi saw two of his teammates were suddenly unconscious and decided not to join in. Katsumata tried to ambush Ueno one more time backstage after the show only to be sent to sleep yet again.

A special rule was added to the 8-Man Tag Match. Both MAO and Daisuke Sasaki were named captains of their teams. Whenever there was a kickout or rope break the team captain must drink a glass of alcohol. MAO and Sasaki got progressively more drunk as the match continued while everyone else involved were unaffected. Sasaki tried spitting his drink Poison Mist style but blinded MJ Paul with it by mistake. Yukio Naya took advantage to pin Paul with a Small Package.

Kazuma Sumi & Yuni are now confident that NωA Jr. can win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles after they beat two of the previous champions from paleyouth. Sumi & Yuni both proclaimed they will win the titles on 18th October.

Jun Akiyama acted as an honorary member of FANTÔMES DRAMATIC today by wearing some of their merch to the ring today. He also took part in their antics that involved baseball bats and some water balloons.

The 3 Way Match ended before Toru Owashi could make it to the ring. During his entrance, Antonio Honda grabbed the Hirata Go! glasses and threw them away, distracting Kazuki Hirata long enough to pin him with a roll up. Owashi was so upset he missed the match that Hisaya Imabayashi made the other wrestlers apologise to him and agree to a restart. As the rematch went on, Owashi and Honda gave each other a Lip Lock. That inspired Hirata to try doing the same with Yukinori Matsui, who closed his eyes in anticipation. Honda then rolled up Hirata for a pin but there was no count because Imabayashi’s eyes were still closed so he couldn’t see a pin. Owashi then made Honda use the Shining Gongitsune against himself and then used La Magistral Cradle to win the match.

The opening match showed us a world where Danshoku Dieno entered the wrestling industry as a no nonsense young lion wrestling in black trunks and no other presentation. This meant Yuki Ishida was the gritty veteran putting the rookie through his paces. Except at some point in the match something awakened in Ishida and he started to act like Dieno’s normal gimmick. Ishida ended up giving Dieno the Lip Lock and then started stripping out of his wrestling gear, causing the match to get called off.

DDT made a blunder when announcing the full match card for this show. Originally Kumadori was booked for one of the early matches. Hours later DDT had to change plans and cancel his appearance because Kumadori already has something scheduled with O-MENZ that day. Thus he wouldn’t be able to make it to the show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN KASUKABE~”, 24/10/2026

2. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Winners Bracket: Winner Of Match 1A Vs Winner Of Match 1B
3. Special Tag Match: Miyu Yamashita & Yuki Kamifuku Vs Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine

The retirement road takes a weird turn with one of Yuki Kamifuku’s upcoming matches. She wants a match against Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine. Dieno was an early supporter of Kamifuku as she trained for her debut. She remembers how he praised her for practicing the Eye Poke. Plus they are both dog owners and have a shared bond through how much they love their pets. Sasadango is the first masked wrestler Kamifuku ever watched. As for who she wants to team with, Kamiyu picked Miyu Yamashita because out of everybody in Tokyo Joshi Pro she is the most capable of beating up men.


BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 33: NE TOUCHE PAS MOI” Results

October 6, 2026

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 33: NE TOUCHE PAS MOI”, 06/10/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans

1. Daruma-san ga Koronda Death Match: Kota Sekifuda defeated Mr. Malo with the Daruma-san ga Koronda Cradle (9:28).
2. Chris Brookes defeated Anton (w/ Munek) with a School Boy (10:02).
3. BK-G Openweight Title: Mr. Bueno (c) defeated Ram Kaichow with a Roll Through Body Press (15:20).
*V5 for Mr. Bueno.
4. Hideyoshi Kamitani & Daichi Hashimoto defeated Yuya MAOki & Yuji Munagebayashi when Hashimoto pinned Munagebayashi after a Lariat & Leg Sweep Combo (15:26).

The main event this month took on a Big Japan flavour. The first team to enter were Okami, the pair of Hideyoshi Kamitani & Daichi Hashimoto. Then the next person to enter the room was MAO pretending to be Yuya Aoki again. His tag partner was then revealed to be Takayuki Ueki doing a full on Yuji Okabayashi impersonation. He wrestled wearing a bald cap but during the match the cap was ripped off and he was revealed to be bald for real underneath! Okami quickly got over the shocking sight and took “Yuji Munagebayashi” (Munage meaning chest hair) down with a Lariat/Leg Sweep combo to get the win.

Ueki’s change in behavior this month must have weakened the magical powers of Dark King Ueki. It would explain why Ram Kaichow showed up as herself instead of her Princess Ram persona today. It was a good time to be herself because she was fighting Mr. Bueno for the BK-G Openweight Title! Kaichow tried to use Bueno’s kind personality against him when she said a gentleman shouldn’t be using closed fist punches against a woman. Bueno agreed so he intentionally used painful submission holds on her instead. When that didn’t work he put on Mr. Malo’s mask so he would then have no hesitation in punching Kaichow. The challenger was able to pull off the black mask and demanded that Bueno start treating her like a pro wrestler. From that point on the two didn’t hold back against each other. Kaichow was able to knock Bueno down with Lariats and got a nearfall with the Rainmaker. She then did a Cross Body Block from the bar counter but Bueno rolled through to pin her and defend the title.

It’s been a while since Baka Gaijin + Friends was in ARENA Shimokitazawa. In the time since then Antonio Honda was turned evil by Ueki’s Magic Kingdom and transformed into a Goldberg parody named Anton! He had a homemade WCW World Heavyweight Title around his waist and said heelish things like Chris Brookes’s mom is fat. Brookes said he knows Honda inside out and has a way to break Munek’s spell on him. He took out a cream puff and fed it to Anton. Nothing changed and Anton started attacking Brookes to start the match. The “WCW Title” acted as armor for Anton that neither Brookes nor a fan he forced to punch the belt could break through. Anton then injured his knee so Brookes fed him an ice cream but again the spell was still active. Anton was ready to Spear Brookes when Brookes suddenly pulled out a fox puppet and it made it onto Honda’s hand. It was Gongitsune and it’s filthy joke was overpowering the spell! Munek pulled off the puppet and threw it away, causing Anton to turn on him. But Munek used a spell to make Anton hit himself over and over. At this point the spell was broken and Anton was back to his normal self. Brookes rolled him up anyway to win the match.

In the opening match Mr. Malo asked for an extra rule for him and Kota Sekifuda to follow. They would play a game of Daruma-san ga Koronda while wrestling, which is similar to playing Red Light, Green Light. Suzu Suzuki would tell the wrestlers to freeze whenever he wanted and they wrestlers would have to oblige. This caused Malo and Sekifuda to pause in the middle of exchanging holds or while their bodies were in unusual positions. This included when Sekifuda was doing a headstand, while Malo was hanging from the ceiling and when Sekifuda’s snake was brought into the match! Eventually Suzuki called for a freeze while Sekifuda and Malo were cradling each other. Malo’s shoulders were pinned at this point while Sekifuda still had one shoulder up. Daisuke Kiso wasn’t effected by the rule so he counted to three and rewarded the match to Sekifuda. Even though Sekifuda won, he told Malo afterwards he never wanted to do a match like that again.

The next Baka Gaijin + Friends show will be a “Late Halloween” show taking place on 17th November. The next show after that will be on 26th December at Shin-Kiba 1st RING. That one will be the first time Baka Gaijin uses a wrestling ring for one of their shows!

Someone who used to show up in DDT years ago as an X a lot…

She also currently holds the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title. If Arai turned down the temptation of winning the International Princess Title from Suzume then I doubt she has the desire to fight for Nakajima’s belt.

Osaka City Higashiyodogawa Ward Kumin Hall

*Yuki Ueno becomes the 1,915th champion.
4. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated Shunma Katsumata, Yuni, Kazuma Sumi & Kumadori when Ilusion pinned Yuni with the Chinga Tu Madre! (10:21).
5. STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: MAO, KANON & Yukio Naya (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda when MAO pinned Honda with the Bridging Gego Clutch (18:59).
6. Naomi Yoshimura 10th Anniversary Debut Match ~ Special Single Match: Zeus defeated Naomi Yoshimura with the Jackhammer (12:21).

Kind of hard to believe that Naomi Yoshimura’s been wrestling for ten years now. Looking back I have to wonder how much more prolific he would have been in DDT if he never suffered his neck injury at the very end of 2018. The man who got Yoshimura into wrestling in the first place is Zeus from Osaka Pro which made him the perfect opponent for Yoshimura for his 10th Anniversary match. It became a battle of Chops and while Yoshimura was able to take Zeus down with the Hirai-goshi, he was beaten in the end by Zeus’s Jackhammer. Yoshimura said Zeus is the wrester he admires most for paving the way for him. He was also the one who taught Yoshimura how to write up his resume to DDT (he had to re-do it twice). Zeus told the story of the day a young man showed up in his gym with an amazing physique and an incredible drive to push himself. He asked him what is his goal for the future and the young man answered “pastry chef”. As thanks for today’s match, Zeus invited Yoshimura to compete at his own 20th Anniversary show in Osaka Pro taking place on 11th October. Yoshimura said he would love to. He closed out the show saying the DNA generation are currently driving DDT forward and right now he is the No. 1 heavyweight in the company!

The energy levels surrounding the upcoming KO-D Openweight Title match have started off unusually low. MAO and Strange Love Connection are starting to miss Viento Levante while he is away with injury and Yuki Iino will be leaving them for NOAH soon as well. Meanwhile Chris Brookes is being open about wrestling while his back and elbow are both hurting. However he is confident he will be in good condition for Sumo Hall. It resulted in today’s preview match between SLC and FANTÔMES DRAMATIC to be more of a feeling out process than a big sprint.

A new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion needed to be crowned when the previous champion Shinjuku FACE shut down and now no longer exists. Yuki Ueno and Masami Inahata were chosen to fight for the vacant title and Ueno picked up the win by using the Blackout Sleeper to transition into a more regular Sleeper Hold. Ueno decided he wants to actively defend this championship to build up to his DDT Extreme Title match with Shunma Katsumata so it will end up becoming a Double Title match! He will become the “Iron Man” fitting to hold this championship.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” Results

9. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) when Aino submitted Tatsumi with the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire Z (19:58).
*Daydream fails in V3. Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed become the 22nd Princess Tag Team Champions!
10. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) defeated Suzume with the Finally (21:51).
*V5 for Yuki Arai.

The bee has been kicked down to the ground. Yuki Arai continues her Princess Of Princess Title reign with a clean victory over Suzume, the current International Princess Champion. Suzume’s big moves to try and unseat the Princess Champ included a Flying Facebuster from the ring apron to the floor, the Hachinosu Eight Knot submission hold and Ring A Bell. When all of those failed, she resorted to Rolling Cradles but couldn’t pin Arai with them. Arai tried to submit Suzume with the Scorpion Death Lock but Suzume fought her way to grab a rope break. Eventually Arai got to throw Suzume down with the Full Nelson Buster and hit the Finally kick to get the victory and her fifth successful title defence.

Arai called Suzume a genuinely scary wrestler and she learned so many new sides to her through their matches together in the last few weeks. She’s happy to have somebody the same age as her become her rival. When Suzume left the ring, Shoko Nakajima got in and demanded Arai face her next so she can win the Princess Title from her. Arai remembers losing to Nakajima in the Tokyo Princess Cup so she accepted her challenge for 8th November. She raised the title high above Nakajima’s head, causing Nakajima to storm off. Arai then said she has gotten so big as champion she will go take down the Big Kaiju next! Meanwhile, Suzume backstage said she is now going to make the International Princess Title shine just as brightly as the Princess Title so Arai will want to fight her for it next time.

Today was the rude awakening that Daydream feared was coming. They lost the Princess Tag Team Titles to Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro! The lead up to the match had the champs bickering with each other like an old couple but they got back on the same page in time to take the title match seriously. However Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed were on great form as a team too and were constantly rescuing each other from harm’s way or cutting off the other team from doing the same. The gameplan worked out as Kazashiro trapped Miu Watanabe in the Izayoi hold on the ring apron while Aino made Rika Tatsumi submit to the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire Z. This now makes Aino a three time tag champion with a different tag partner every time. She said she isn’t surprised by the result because her team kept on believing in themselves. Kazashiro thinks it took more than luck to win because she chose this path with Aino and it was meant to be. She also dyed part of her hair from blue to red in order to show off her fighting spirit. Daydream cannot believe they lost the titles way before they could break the record for most defences. Watanabe feels like she’s woken up from a dream while Tatsumi swears it does not change that Daydream is the best team out there.

Let’s face it, the result of this was never in doubt. Especially since around 12 hours before this match happened, EVE announced Miyu Yamashita’s next appearance in England to defend the EVE International Title against Marina Shafir. Anyway, Yamashita successfully defended the belt here against Arisu Endo, knocking down her scrappy opponent with a running Skull Kick. The move didn’t come out of nowhere either. Endo went to do the Ju no Okite but Yamashita landed on her feet and flipped Endo upside down to give her the Wheelbarrow German Suplex instead. Endo kicked out of the Buzzsaw Kick and hit a Thrust Kick but that was what set up the Skull Kick finish. Yamashita said she anticipated Endo’s moves this time and had a built-in strategy ready for them, which is unusual for her to do. However that strategy went out the window when Endo got the first attack in so Yamashita fought the rest of the match just through sheer determination. Endo thinks getting to fight Yamashita for a title is proof that she’s gotten stronger. She also wants to speak up about everything she wants to do and turn her path into the most colorful journey imaginable.

Nakajima now has a chance of becoming a double singles champion because earlier in the show she retained the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title against the returning Zara Zakher. Nakajima did a Topé Suicida only for Zakher to fight fire with fire and immediately do the same move when Nakajima threw her back into the ring. Zakher then made the same mistake of rolling Nakajima back in so Nakajima could immediately hit her with a Topé Con Giro. Back in the ring Nakajima avoided the Control Z by landing on her feet and then got Zakher into the Locomotive Northern Lights Suplex to score her first defence of the All Asia Women’s Title. Nakajima said when she won this title in Thailand the cheers of the fans there left her with a wonderful memory so she wants to make this title the best it can possibly be. Zakher calls Tokyo Joshi Pro her home away from home and if the fans want her to be here, they just have to say it to TJPW.

It is a crazy enough sight to have Jushin Liger stand in a TJPW ring wearing a referee shirt. The craziness is amped up even more when the match he had to officiate was Hyper Misao against Mizuki. Before the match began, Misao told Liger that she is a superhero and the most honorable wrestler in TJPW while Mizuki is a bad person with a pitch black heart. Liger wanted to call the match fair and square, which meant he stopped Mizuki from using her Pico Pico Hammer as a weapon. Misao tried to do the Romero Special in front of Liger but couldn’t pull it off. Outside the ring Misao got on the Hypami Go but ran over Mahiro Kiryu with it after Mizuki got out of the way. Misao then tried to trap Mizuki in the ring apron but she escaped and hit under the ring while Misao unknowingly rolled up Liger into the corner post inside the apron. Mizuki then successfully lured Misao into crashing the Hypami-Go into Liger! More mishaps happened in the ring when Liger accidentally got sprayed in the eyes by Misao. Mizuki then missed the Pico Pico Hammer swing and hit Liger by mistake. She was able to frame Misao for it by passing the hammer to her so Liger saw Misao with hit. Misao complained that Liger wasn’t officiating the match properly so he hit her with the Palm Strike and put her in the Romero Special. Mizuki climbed the top rope to do the Diving Foot Stomp onto Misao while she was in the hold and Liger counted the pinfall. Liger said it’s been a while since he moved this much in the ring so he was impressed by the styles Misao and Mizuki showed off. He admitted he wanted to steal the show by doing the Romero Special but didn’t expect Mizuki to have the quick thinking to do a Double Stomp onto that and steal the spotlight for herself. Liger wouldn’t mind coming back to watch or even officiate TJPW matches more regularly.

Today was the last time VENYU would team up together and they got to right a wrong from the past. They’ve never won a tag match together in Ota Ward Gymnasium until today! They were joined by two members of O-MENZ for their entrance and then went on to beat Wakana Uehara & Toga. For once Toga got to experience what it’s like to be on the other side of a deadly Elbow Strike when VENY knocked her down with a loud one early in the match. Uehara tried her hardest to try and make Yuki Kamifuku submit to the Banana Pillow but a long struggle ended with Kamiyu getting the rope break. VENYU used the Magic Killer on Toga to get rid of her and Kamifuku went on to pin Uehara with the Diving Famouser. Kamifuku said she went into the match with the mindset that she absolutely won’t lose. It turned out the plan worked. VENY will keep that mindset for any future matches in TJPW. Uehara is coming to terms that this may actually be her last big match with Kamifuku before Kamifuku’s retirement at the end of the year. She’s going to cherish everything Kamiyu said to her in the ring today and move on forward.

O-MENZ were also involved in a big entrance for Match #4. They all danced for the combined entrance of Aja Kong, Sakura Hattori & Kumadori. Then for an added bonus Kong and Hattori joined the dance routine inside the ring! Meanwhile Kira Summer & Chika Nanase were there to learn from Chris Brookes. Summer took after him by mocking Hattori’s ninja posing. She also got to knock down Kong with a Shoulder Block after stomping on Kong’s foot to tip her off balance. Summer & Nanase were able to double team on Nanase but couldn’t do the same to Kong. She Back Suplexed Brookes away and then Double Shoulder Blocked the other two. Summer was able to delay Kong from using the steel can so she ended up hitting Hattori by mistake instead of Nanae. But Hattori survived a 2nd rope Diving Elbow from Nanase thanks to a rope break. Hattori fought out of Nanase’s finisher to stun her with an Enzuigiri and then hit the Sento Choryu for the pin while Kumadori held Brookes back from breaking it up. Kong joked her biggest challenge today was to not screw up the entance dance. Even though Brookes and his team lost he said he would like to team up with Summer & Nanase again. They can all go to DDT and fight for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles as the trio of “Normal Legs”, “Slightly Short Legs” and “Super Short Legs”.

The 3 Way Tag Match went ahead with no tag rules attached and the bottom rope loosened up in order for the mascots to get into the ring easier. Tama brought a kitchen knife to the ring but agreed to hand it over to Yukinori Matsui before the match began. It then got into a three way strike off with Pokotan and Minimo that ended in a stalemate. Pom Harajuku brought out a piece of merchandise that is a towel of both Tama and Tojojo then stomped on it to taunt Kiryu. Tama got its knife back but wasn’t eager to tag in when Kiryu needed its help. The other teams instead dragged Tama into the ring and attacked it until Kiryu tried to stop them. Finally Tama stepped in to Clothesline everyone. Kiryu held onto Raku for Tama to charge in but Raku moved and Tama instead stabbed Kiryu! Harajuku then pulled off Pokotan’s head and placed it over Raku only for Raku to use it for a Headbutt. Pokotan got its head back but Raku used the Doctor Yellow to twist it around before using the same move on Harajuku to get the win. She celebrated by dancing with Minimo in the ring.

The debut of Chieri Sakimori took place in Match #2 as part of a 6-Woman Tag Match. She started off fighting Shino Suzuki and Suzuki got to show her a “tour” of the arena while applying a Headlock. HIMAWARI carried Mifu Ashida on her shoulders to charge at the other team only for them to get out of the way. The two still got their hands on Momo Sato and made it a struggle for her to tag out. Shion Kanzaki focused on using her Side Armlock move which is now called the Midnight Blues. Most of Sakimori’s ring time was spent fighting HIMAWARI where she got a nearfall with a Cross Body Block. HIMAWARI got the better of her in the end by applying an elevated version of the Half Crab Hold for the submission victory. Sakimori felt she was able to go all out for her first match and showed what she is capable of. Sato is happy to already have her first junior below her and Kanzaki is confident the 2026 Class will build a great relationship together. When asked if there are any TJPW wrestlers she looks up to, Sakimori said she wants to be dazziling like Kamifuku and Uehara.

For the opening match both Uta Takami and Ren Konatsu were brought down to the ring on moving carts so they could wave to the crowd on the way to the ring. Only Arai got to use the same cart at the very end of the show. In the match itself, Konatsu got to slow down Takami enough to hit the Aries Comet and apply the Shoulder bite. Takami got out of it with a rope break and hit her own Missile Dropkick to Konatsu. She then applied the Koala Clutch, forcing Konatsu to collapse and submit. Konatsu was hoping to win before the Next Generation Tournament begins next week but she will just have to channel her frustration into that instead. Takami believes the opening match of the show is crucial and was happy the company left it to her to pull it off today.

After intermission had finished, Rise Shirai introduced everyone to Shiori Futaba from the idol group Congrazie! Futaba will be making her pro wrestling debut on 8th November. She promised everyone she will give it her all and show off her cool side in the ring.

No decision has been made if this will become a regular thing for Futaba or just a one time match.


BASARA “BASARA 317 ~UTAGE~” Results

October 2, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 317 ~UTAGE~”, 02/10/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takumi Tsukamoto, Minoru Fujita & Yasu Urano defeated Gouma Ryu, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga when Tsukamoto submitted Ryu with a Crab Hold (8:46).
2. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Round 1: SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken defeated Judo Master & Muscle Master when Kraken pinned Judo with the Period. (11:23).
3. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Round 1: Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura defeated Isami Kodaka & FUMA when Shimomura pinned Kodaka with the Asai DDT (16:30).
4. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – A Block Round 1: Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa defeated Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano when Nakagawa pinned Inoue with the Swanton Bomb (12:16).
5. IRON FIST Tag Tournament – B Block Round 1: Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Kazato pinned Nakano with the Rocket Punch Body Press (14:11).

The first round of this year’s IRON FIST Tag Tournament sees some big teams already getting eliminated including the reigning Iron Fist Tag Team Champions! That’s right, Aijin Tag lost to the odd couple team of Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida. The result is disastrous for Aijin Tag because Yoshida spent just as much time trying to fight Kazato as he did with them. He even put Kazato through a table and left him for Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino to pick up the scraps. However Kazato wouldn’t give up and seemed to finally win over Yoshida when he bit the bullet for one of the opponent’s double team moves. Kazato then took advantage of the confusing chaos to land the Rocket Punch Body Press on Nakano and pin him for the victory. Aijin Tag blame themselves for the loss and will watch the rest of the tournament from the sidelines to see who will challenge them for the tag titles next. Meanwhile Kazato thanks the fans for their support while Yoshida said the fans should be thanking him because he’s the only reason why he and Kazato won today.

Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa joked that they used the power of baseball to defeat the Death Volleyball Club. In reality the admit they didn’t rely on a lot of teamwork between them and even suffered some friendly fire that could have cost them the match. They also think if Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano can be called a volleyball club then maybe Nakatsu & Nakagawa can call themselves The Walk Club.

On paper the team of Isami Kodaka & FUMA should be competitive enough to run the bracket but they’ve been knocked out in the opening round thanks to Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura. FUMA got caught up in Katsumura’s Ninja Choke while Shimomura used the Asai DDT on Kodaka to pin him. The winning team thought they were facing Aijin Tag in the next round and were surprised to find out that won’t be the case. They agreed not to get pulled into Kazato’s world of playing games and instead go for a quick victory. It will be a busy day for Katsumura because he will be wrestling at Ganbare☆Pro too.

The first match in the bracket had to be changed when Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Seiya Morohashi both fell ill with love sickness. The team replacing them were the masked men of Judo Master & Muscle Master. The team introduced themselves as the “Master Of Softness” and the “Master Of Hardness”. SAGAT responded by calling the two of them hard to deal with. He also seemed to recognise Muscle Master was really Morohashi judging by his body shape. SAGAT unmasked him and discovered that Morohashi had his face painted like The Great Muta underneath! Morohashi gave SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken some Dragon Screws then sprayed water instead of Poison Mist. The water missed and got Judo Master by mistake. Krake then gave Judo the Period. for the three count. The Super Family think they won the match but also believe the could have been just a fever dream.

The semi finals on 12th October will be SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken Vs Ryota Nakatsu & Shota Nakagawa and Daiki Shimomura & Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida.
