DDT “MISEN 2025”, 16/08/2025
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kazuma Sumi when Honda pinned To-y with the Japanese Leg Roll Clutch (10:45).
*Antonio Honda wins To-y’s Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere Arm Cover.
2. Danshoku Dieno, Naomi Yoshimura & Takeshi Masada defeated Soma Takao, Shota & Kazuki Hirata when Yoshimura pinned Shota with the Harai-goshi (10:58).
3. Special Single Match: Akito defeated Ilusion with a European lutch (9:07).
4. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere 3 Way Match: Hideki Okatani defeated Daichi Sato and Yuki Ishida when Okatani pinned Sato with the Skewer Claymore (9:09).
*Hideki Okatani wins the Blue Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere Arm Cover.
5. Special Tag Match: Jun Akiyama & HARASHIMA defeated Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul when HARASHIMA pinned Paul with the Somato (11:33).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya defeated MAO, KANON & Yuya Koroku (w/ KIMIHIRO) when Higuchi pinned Koroku with the Claw Slam (19:49).

The trio of champions are coming out of the main event all confident that they will defend their titles on 30th August. In fact Yuki Iino is so confident about it he believes Kazusada Higuchi and The Apex will all still be the champions the next time DDT comes back to Nagoya! Yukio Naya joined in by combining The Apex’s catchphrase with Harimao’s. “The Apex, dosukoi! Yeah!”

Two notable things happened over the Right To Challenge Arm Covers today. Hideki Okatani is the latest person to get his hands on one by winning the Blue Arm Cover in a 3 Way Match. When asked about his plans to cash in, he kept quiet and only gave a sinister smile in response. Earlier in the show Antonio Honda pinned To-y in their match to win his RTC Arm Cover. Honda sent something of a warning to Higuchi to start dreaming of him whenever he sleeps because when that dream ends, Honda will be wearing the KO-D Openweight Title belt!


DDT “D GENERATIONS 5 ~UNFINISHED SHACHIHOKO BOYS~” Results

August 16, 2025

DDT “D GENERATIONS 5 ~UNFINISHED SHACHIHOKO BOYS~”, 16/08/2025
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Tag Match: Daichi Sato & Yuki Ishida defeated Takahiro Hiramoto & Masanori Kanu Watanabe when Ishida pinned Watanabe with the Ensho (12:13).
2. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Battle: To-y defeated Grand Passion Mask No. 4 with the Kojima Impact (8:06).
3. Ilusion defeated Mikiya Sasaki with a Rope-Assisted Backslide Pin (6:43).
4. Hideki Okatani defeated Ryoma Tsukamoto with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (8:24).
5. Special Single Match: Shota defeated Yuya Koroku with a Crucifix Pin (12:06).
6. Special Tag Match: Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi defeated Yu Shimizu & Ali Najima when Sumi pinned Najima with the School Boy (15:04).

The fifth D GENERATIONS show took place outside of Tokyo for the first time. Everyone instead went over to Nagoya to fight a fresh set of opponents away from the Young Communication side. The main event pitted Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi against the local Sportiva team of Yu Shimizu & Ali Najima. Sumi scored the win for the D GENERATIONS team but Najima demanded a singles match with him afterward.

Shota was the only Young Communication wrestler on the show so he felt the need to be at his best against Yuya Koroku. He used a Crucifix Pin as a counter to Koroku’s Armbar to get the win and is pretty pleased with himself over it. Koroku however said things aren’t over between him and Shota.

Ryoma Tsukamoto briefly gave Hideki Okatani a taste of his own medicine when he choked him with a chain outside the ring during their match. But Okatani got his second wind, gave Tukamoto the Claymore Kick into the corner and pinned him with the Verical Drop Brainbuster.

A similar situation happened with Ilusion in his match. Mikiya Sasaki was also willing to use dirty tactics against a DAMNATION T.A wrestler, mainly using the ropes for leveraging his pin attempts. Ilusion fought back using Low Blows but even then Sasaki would give him a Low Blow of his own by accidentally falling head first into Ilusion’s groin. The damage was too much for Sasaki to bear though and Ilusion pinned him with a Backslide Pin with his own feet on the ropes for leverage.

Grand Passion Mask No. 4 tried to trick To-y during the match by stripping down to his underwear and hiding among the audience in the front row. This included removing his mask and leaving it in the ring for To-y to find and get confused. Passion would then attack him from behind but got the back of his underwear pulled down in the process. To-y would then get his hands on him for a Full Nelson Buster followed by the Kojima Impact to protect his Right To Challenge Arm Cover.

The latest match to happen is a young generation battle where BASARA’s Takeru Inoue will face off against GanPro’s Shota Kawakami. GanPro are also sending over Keisuke Ishii and Munetatsu Nakamura for matches. Maybe one of them will take part in Daichi Kazato’s 15th Anniversary bout?

6. Takeshi Masada’s 3rd Anniversary Match ~ 3 Vs 1 Handicap Match: Takeshi Masada defeated Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Bunbun when Masada pinned Honda with the Masada no Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (18:40).

Today’s main event was supposed to be celebrating the 3rd Anniversary of Takeshi Masada’s debut match. However plans slightly changed and he had to fight the rest of SCHADENFREUDE International by himself. That’s right, Bunbun didn’t want to team with him, he wanted to fight him instead. So Bunbun sided with Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda for a 3 Vs 1 Handicap Match against Masada. It was Bunbun’s debut wrestling match but the puppet ended up storming off after three missed attacks from Brookes hit him by mistake. Honda came up with an idea to bring him back by leading the others in the Bunbun Resurrection Dance. It succeeded too well because suddenly Bunbun emerged from under the ring in a second, more human sized form! He attacked everyone using John Cena’s moveset until SCHADENFREUDE all ganged up on him and forced him out of the ring. Bunbun later returned in his normal form but injured his knee in an attempted dive. It was all so he could do a Gongitsune spot with Honda. Masada evaded the attack and ended up beating Honda with his finisher. Masada thanked the others for having such a fun match with him on this anniversary and Bunbun talked about how much fun pro wrestling is.

The stipulation of the Elimination Tag Match was that every time there was a 1 Count kickout or a rope escape, everyone got to drink a cup of beer except for the team captains Yuki Ishida and MJ Paul. So nearly everyone in Harimao and DAMNATION T.A got drunk quickly while Ishida and Paul tried to take the match seriously.

Yukio Naya knows what always happens when you wrestle Danshoku Dieno so he wanted to embrace it. However Dieno didn’t want to give him the Lip Lock because he doesn’t think Naya is cute looking. He was apologetic over it and the two ended up clashing heads with each other after HARASHIMA accidently pushed them together. Naya and Dieno ended up switching bodies and now Dieno (in Naya’s body) gathered the urge to Lip Lock Naya (in Dieno’s body). He put on the Danshoku tights, did the Lip Lock and won the match with the Danshoku Driver. He then ran around ringside chasing after the ringside attendents. Later in the show Naya (in Dieno’s body) appeared during the Blindfold Bra match wearing his wrestling outfit.

Both To-y and Yuya Koroku are currently trying to farm as many life points as they can for their DDT Extreme Title match on 30th August. Life Points are mostly earned from social media posts getting lots of views but it also turns out they can be wagered too. To-y had 10 LP going into today’s show while Koroku had 12 so the two agreed to gamble 10 points each on their match in the opener. To-y beat Koroku directly to win the match for his team so not only did he win 10 extra LP, he also won Koroku’s Right To Challenge Arm Cover! Having caught the gambling bug, To-y then challenged Koroku to a double or nothing game of Rock Paper Scissors. He won that too but then kept asking for more rematches so he could reach his goal of 100 Life Points! Unfortunately his luck ran out and Koroku finally won a game. As a result both of them have reset their LP to 0 and will go back to social media to start farming LP again.

However he is confident that he can beat Kasai in a normal match so isn’t scared to fight him in a more dangerous environment.

The trainee Sentaro Motojima has earned his debut spot on the show.

-. Exhibition Match: Yumehito Imanari Vs Sentaro Motojima ended in a Time Limit Draw (5:00).

The first battle in this summer feud between Ganbare☆Pro and FREEDOMS goes to GanPro! They were the home team for today’s main event but the visitors aren’t going to take defeat lying down. After Mizuki Watase pinned Daisuke Masaoka for the victory, Takashi Sasaki told the GanPro team not to let their guard down because this rivalry has only just begun. The next inter-promotional match will be at a FREEDOMS show in Shuichiro Katsumura’s hometown of Yokohama on 17th August. Sasaki promised he will embarrass Katsumura in front of his own people! He then told Watase that GanPro’s “amateur” training cannot prepare him for a Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match with Jun Kasai on 26th August. Ken Ohka defended Watase by saying everybody has a first time for everything! Watase and nobody else in GanPro for that matter are going to fight FREEDOMS with the intention of losing. Watase then said if it he was just going to have a normal rules match with Kasai he would definitely beat him right now! He is going to put everything he’s learned during his 10 year career into this match so don’t underestimate him.

The Ken Ohka Vs Thanomsak Toba was put together as a tribute for the late Tomohiko Hashimoto. Both wrestlers spoke about their memories of him after the match.

The GanPro trainee Sentaro Motojima was given plenty of chances to do stuff in the ring today. At the start of the show he had a five minute exhibition match with Ken Ohka. The intent of the match was to last the full five minutes so it continued even though Ohka made Motojima submit to a Crab Hold halfway through. Ohka criticised Motojima after the match by telling him he did no good and has to try harder. Yumehito Imanari joined in and told Motojima he is taking his debut match set for 26th August for granted which means he is also underestimating GanPro as a whole. Imanari then decided that Motojima would have an exhibition match with him at the end of the show!

The bonus exhibition did go ahead after the FREEDOMS team made their exit. Imanari attacked Motojima with a chair leading to them fighting out in the crowd. Back in the ring Motojima escaped from a Crab Hold and kept Imanari back with Dropkicks until the time expired. The bell rang but the two continued fighting for another two minutes. When they finally stopped, Imanari asked the audience if they could understand Motojima’s feelings and if he deserves to have make his pro debut? The audience applauded his efforts. Imanari told him pro wrestling is tough and scares him because he has seen so many people get injured but the determination to overcome those fears is why he is here with Ohka supporting GanPro. For the last 12 years they’ve been waiting for a guy like Motojima to join them. Ohka confirmed the debut is going ahead and he advised the trainee never to forget to be grateful to the fans.

During the show Michiyoshi Mishima announced more matches for the 26th August Korakuen Hall show. MAO is coming to GanPro to team with Fuminori Abe & Tyson Maeguchi to take on Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Takuya Wada. Also the Ganbare☆Joshi match for the show will be Yuna Manase & YuuRI Vs Moeka Haruhi & Hanako Nakamori.

GanPro also announced that their next Korakuen show after August will be on 27th December.

5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Iino & Yuki Ishida defeated Jun Akiyama, Chris Brookes & Daichi Sato when Higuchi submitted Sato with the Claw (13:25).
6. MAO 10th Anniversary Match Vol. 1 ~ Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Yuki Ueno & To-y when MAO pinned To-y with a Running Palm Strike (21:01).

The first part of MAO’s 10th Anniversary celebrations began in his hometown of Miyagi. He promised the locals he will become Miyagi’s Shikaku Hero and bring the square ring back to the city’s square venue on 14th December. Yuki Ueno had fun fighting MAO and KANON again but To-y promised next time he will turn MAO from a square into a triangle shaped mess! He also threatened to hurt KIMIHIRO during the match which led to KIMIHIRO sneaking in an Apron Dropkick to Ueno later in the match.

After winning the first two prelim matches in their series, Kazusada Higuchi is not taking the results for granted. He feels like his team only beat Jun Akiyama’s team by a hair’s breadth today. Daichi Sato took responsibility for the loss. He said he wanted to win the match by himself in front of Akiyama but ended up submitting to Higuchi’s Claw Hold. Akiyama is learning from the matches though and warns Higuchi he can see his moves clearly now.

The second Right To Challenge Arm Cover was won by Yuya Koroku after he was the last man standing in the 4 Way Match. He wants to keep his focus on the DDT Extreme Title match with To-y first so he will think carefully about what will come next.

Match #2 was changed a couple of times because Gorgeous Matsuno was unable to appear at the show. He had fever symptoms so the match was going to be turned into a 3 Way Match. However Kazuki Hirata currently has a Right To Challenge Arm Cover so Danshoku Dieno & Akito agreed to team up and have a 2 Vs 1 Handicap Match instead. Hirata escaped with a lucky win when Dieno was knocked down sitting on Akito’s face while giving Hirata a Lip Lock. Akito couldn’t take having Dieno’s exposed backside pressing down on his face so he gave up and since Dieno was on his team that meant Hirata was the winner!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 17/08/2025
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Shoko Nakajima Vs Miu Watanabe
2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Yuki Arai Vs Arisu Endo

Osaka is the location for the Tokyo Princess Cup semi finals because what do names even mean anymore? On the one side is Shoko Nakajima against Miu Watanabe in a rematch from their highly praised bout from the Texas tour. Nakajima is treating this match like it is the final given who her opponent is. Watanabe sees just how hard Nakajima has been working as a double champion and wants to match that effort to win.

On the other is Yuki Arai versus Arisu Endo. Arai’s advances in the tournament have never gone worse than the year previously so she either remains stuck in semi final tier for the third year in a row or finally makes it to the final. Endo has never beaten Arai but is coming off of eliminating Miyu Yamashita. Except there’s not many people in the tournament’s history who benefitted from knocking Yamashita out. It’s just Yuka Sakazaki in 2017 and Mizuki in 2019 who continued advancing all the way to the finals from there.
