6. Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani
7. International Special Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita & Samuray Del Sol Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
Coming out of the anniversary show, Pheromones are demanding that Yuki Iino be chosen as the No. 1 Contender for the KO-D Openweight Title. It has been refused by Hisaya Imabayashi and Yuji Hino agrees with the decision. Hino knows Iino is a strong man but he wants nothing to do with that character. At first he said he will only consider giving Iino a title shot if he becomes a serious heavyweight again. Then Makoto Oishi came up with an idea called the World Hino Classic. Pheromones will go through a couple of trial matches and if they win them all then Iino gets his title match. The opening match is being called the Group Of Death because Iino & Danshoku Dieno have to fight the Ω team of Oishi and Bambi. All Pheromones need to do is win this match and they will go straight to the WHC final. What the final is will be revealed if Pheromones make it out of the Group Of Death.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR IN SPRING ’23”, 26/03/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
1. Wakana Uehara Vs Toga
2. Raku Vs Shino Suzuki

6. Mizuki, Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Mahiro Kiryu

Both Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh are missing the show to wrestle in Canada this weekend.
DDT “APRIL FOOL 2023”, 09/04/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Rukiya Ikeda Debut Match: Yuya Koroku Vs Rukiya Ikeda
2. Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Yuni
3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Keigo Nakamura
A new tag team of HARASHIMA & Keigo Nakamura are next to challenge ShunMao for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. It is the addition of Nakamura to the match that excites MAO & Shunma Katsumata. The two of them have fought HARASHIMA a lot so he’s nothing new. But Nakamura is from the new generation of DDT wrestlers who are all hungry to climb up the ladder. It was Nakamura who wanted to challenge the champions. That took HARASHIMA off guard but he quickly came around on the idea when he realised it is making Nakamura want to work hard.
The elementary school wrestler Yuni finally revealed he was El Unicorn all along and has ditched the mask to start a new chapter in his career. Now in high school, Yuni wants to make a fresh start in wrestling and thinks showing his real face is the best way to go about it. He is back to using the name Yuni but it is now written in katakana instead of hiragana. He is training to grow bigger and stronger for his goal to win the KO-D Title while still in high school. He sees his match against Yuki Ueno as a huge opportunity he does not want to miss.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STAND ALONE ’23”, 15/04/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Yuki Arai & HIMAWARI (Special Referee: Shiori Aoki)
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Nao Kakuta
Last December Mizuki chose Nao Kakuta to be part of her 10th Anniversary match. This week Kakuta returned the favour by telling Mizuki she wants to fight her for the Princess Of Princess Title. It is a challenge Mizuki says she cannot refuse.
SKE48 idol Shiori Aoki gets to be a pro wrestling referee. There’s a conflict of interest though because Yuki Arai will be wrestling in the match. Does Aoki go on to play favorites or even go the complete opposite way and screw over her fellow idol? Even if she calls everything fair and square, having to officiate a Kyoraku Kyomei match sounds way too much for a rookie referee to handle.
DDT “YAMADA FISHERIES PRESENTS 4.23 SHIBUSHI FISH MEAT DECISIVE BATTLE @ UNAGI STATION”, 23/04/2023
Kagoshima Shibushi City Unagi Station
1. Fish Vs Meat Full-Scale Battle! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shishamo Power, Unagi Mask & Super Unagi Mask Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida
The war between fish eaters and meat eaters went lopsided after Kazusada Higuchi betrayed Shishamo Power & Unagi Mask last month. Higuchi revealed he prefers meat over seafood so jumped over to side with Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida for the next match in the feud. The seafood team looked to be in trouble until the president of Yamada Suisan revealed the company has been developing another Unagi Mask wrestler to even the odds. According to the president, Super Unagi Mask is more well-trained than the regular Unagi Mask. He thinks the two of them would work well together in a seafood wrestling Tag League. Sanshiro Takagi likes the idea and will consider launching Yamada Suisan Pro Wrestling if the seafood team wins their battle against the meat eaters.
Shiro Koshinaka and Rayne Leverkusen will both be on the show.
DDT “MEGA MAX BUMP 2023 IN YOKOHAMA”, 03/05/2023
Yokohama Budokan
1. Chiitan☆Debut Match: Chiitan Vs X
2. International Special Single Match: Saki Akai Vs Rayne Leverkusen
3. DDT Extreme Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata
4. DDT Universal Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs MAO
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuji Hino (c) Vs X
So at the moment Hino will be defending the KO-D Title at Yokohama Budokan. He just does not have an official opponent yet. It might be Iino if Pheromones win the World Hino Classic.
Things are going well again for Tetsuya Endo now he is the new DDT Universal Champion. He considers Naruki Doi a friend and wants to see him sticking around in DDT. What Endo does not like is having MAO as his first defence. However the pride of the Miyagi prefecture is on the line with Endo representing Shiroishi City and MAO representing Osaki City. This side will determine which city is the best!
Both ShunMao wrestlers have a chance of becoming double champions at the same time. Shunma Katsumata challenges Jun Akiyama for the DDT Extreme Title. It will be back to the crazy stuff for Akiyama after having such a nice, normal and relaxing match with Kotaro Suzuki.
Rayne Leverkusen is debuting for DDT in April but her only match announced so far is a singles bout against Saki Akai in May.
The insane mascot Chiitan makes its pro wrestling debut. Its presence has already driven Chris Brookes into a murderous rage so he’ll probably be involved in the match. Maybe Pokotan can be a part of it too.
Nick Wayne will be on the show making his first appearance in Japan for DDT.
DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2023”, 23/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan
1. Dramatic Dream Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs El Desperado
Turns out Daisuke Sasaki kept himself busy while he was out from injury. Instead of staying around in bed he went out, did the work and signed up a dream match for himself against El Desperado from New Japan! Desperado is an interesting figure, constantly referring to the wider pro wrestling scene in Japan on his social media. At times it looked like that was the only interactions with other wrestlers that the public would get to see. But as the scene opens up more in order to get fans back into the arenas Desperado is at the forefront of getting into matches with wrestlers outside of NJPW. In a past life he’s had a little bit of involvement in DDT related shows. He’s been part of a few Monthly Young Communication shows that happened back in 2011. Only recently Sasaki and Desperado fought each other in a tag match that ended in a DQ so there is some bad blood between the two going into this dream bout.

*Kazusada Higuchi fails in V6. Yuji Hino becomes the 80th KO-D Openweight Champion!
A Block
1. Hideki Okatani (2)
2. Yuya Koroku (0)
-. Ilusion (0)
-. Kazuma Sumi (0)
B Block
1. Keigo Nakamura (2)
2. Toi Kojima (0)
-. Yuki Ishida (0)
-. Takeshi Masada (0)
For the first time in over a decade Yuji Hino is the KO-D Openweight Champion! All month long Hino and Kazusada Higuchi have been chopping each other back and forth in their matches with neither wrestler backing off. Other moves were used in this match but the chop battles continued here. It’s been claimed by DDT that 220 chops were thrown in total between them today! Someone eventually had to break and it happened to Higuchi in the end. Hino got the upper hand with one more barrage of Chops and hit the Fuckin’ BOMB to become a two time KO-D Champion! After the match Hino said he was always confident he would win the KO-D Title no matter who the champion was but winning today’s match has made him more happier than he thought he would be. That’s because Higuchi was stronger than he imagined. He wants to do the match again and the two wrestlers paid respect to each other.
Higuchi left ringside while Hino told Hisaya Imabayashi he does not care who his first challenger will be on 21st March as long. His only preference is he wants the opponent to be a big guy because if it’s a small guy Hino is worried he would kill him. Yukio Naya entered the ring and said his wrestling life did a 180 since meeting Hino. He wants to beat Hino for the championship and become the strongest wrestler in DDT! However HARASHIMA then entered the ring and said he wants to fight for the KO-D Title on 21st March because it is DDT’s 26th anniversary. He’s not a big guy like Hino wants but he will prove he is still the centre of DDT! Hino couldn’t decide who to choose so Imabayashi booked Naya against HARASHIMA in a No. 1 Contender’s match on 26th February. Hino accepted the conditions and said if DDT can bolster their heavyweight division and mix it in with everything else that they do, it can become the number one wrestling promotion in Japan!
It was a show of two halves for Ω. Hino was able to win the KO-D Title but Makoto Oishi & Shiori Asahi couldn’t live up to their task of winning the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Instead the masters lost out to their students. They did the Cactus Flower to Shunma Katsumata but MAO broke the pin. Oishi & Asahi then tried to do an Avalance Cactus Flower but MAO cut them off again and later hit the Cannonball 450 on Oishi. The champions followed up by giving Oishi the Oretachi no Mad Max for the victory. After the match Oishi & Asahi congratulated ShunMao and wrapped the tag belts around their waists.
Imabayashi then told ShunMao their next title defence will be at Korakuen Hall on 26th February. Sanshiro Takagi & Fuminori Abe came out and challenged them for the belts. But before Imabayashi confirmed the match, Takagi told him it won’t be taking place in Korakuen on the 26th. Instead it will be a Falls Count Anywhere match happening three days earlier inside a Roppongi burlesque club! ShunMao Vs Bonno Dai Shacho for the tag titles will be at Burlesque Tokyo on 23rd February! Whichever team wins the match will have to defend the titles in Korakuen three days later.
The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match briefly turned into a Handicap Match thanks to some Pheromones trickery. They wanted Tetsuya Endo to join their side and Danshoku Dieno used the Lip Lock to convince him. Endo turned into Tetsuya “Hercules” Endo and he turned on Yusuke Okada, throwing his poor partner into the usual Pheromones attacks. Kotaro Suzuki tried to snap Endo back to normal and had to do something desperate. He gave him the Lip Lock! Endo recovered, realised he wasn’t wrestling in his tights anymore and pinned Dieno with the Burning Star Press.
A video message was shown to BURNING after the match. It was from Super Sasadango Machine and he has put together an impromptu unit to challenge for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles. The unit is himself, Shinya Aoki and Yuki Ueno! He explains that even though it looks like the three of them have nothing in common, they are all radio personalities outside of wrestling. Therefore they can use their upcoming radio appearances to promote the title match on 26th February. Back in the arena Ueno & Aoki entered the ring and asked BURNING for the title shot face to face. Endo was more concerned about trying to cover himself with the title belts so he accepted.
Future opponents HARASHIMA and Yukio Naya were on the same team earlier in the show. They along with Chris Brookes beat the trio of Naruki Doi, Jun Akiyama & Soma Takao. What happened backstage afterwards was a little more noteworthy. Doi was hyping up his DDT Universal Title defence against KANON on 18th February when KANON & MJ Paul ambushed him! Kazuki Hirata came to the rescue only to also get beaten up by DAMNATION T.A. KANON threatened to win the title and take it with him to Hollywood. He & Paul then ran off when Toru Owashi arrived on the scene.
A potential new team could be in the making coming out of Match #3. Yukio Sakaguchi & Hikaru Machida worked well together against Aoki. It should have put their team on track towards winning the match but Aoki caught Thanomsak Toba in a Cobra Twist and rolled him onto his shoulders to escape with a win. Backstage Machida said he and Sakaguchi both come from martial arts so he wants to learn from him while he is still being taught how to wrestle by Toba. Sakaguchi is gets the idea but believes Machida has a long way to go before they can become a tag team together. Meanwhile Aoki asked Toi Kojima if his monthly salary has gone up since they last met. Kojima said it hasn’t but thinks it will double when he wins the D GENERATIONS CUP. Aoki joked that if you double zero you still get zero.
Speaking of the D GENERATIONS CUP it began today with two block matches. Keigo Nakamura gets an early lead in the B Block by beating Takeshi Masada. He kicked out of a Perfect Driver, dodged a Triangle Kick and caught Masada in a Crucifix Pin for the three count. Masada thought this would be a fresh start for him but he just lost his opening group match due to underestimating Nakamura. Meanwhile Nakamura is ecstatic!
The A Block opening match had Hideki Okatani going off to a strong start. He withstood Kazuma Sumi’s quick attacks, cut him off with a Running Neckbreaker and pinned him with the Double Arm Suplex. Okatani is letting his ring work do the talking because all he told reporters afterwards is to keep watching him. Sumi admitted he felt the gap in ability and experience with the most experienced young wrestler in the tournament.
The pre show matches probably had more people involved than the entire main card put together! DAMNATION T.A won a 4 Way Tag Match. Hirata took a beating when he got caught between Yuya Koroku and Yuki Ishida but he eventually knocked both of them out with Tegatana strikes to their necks. Akito’s leg work led to a ring of Leg Holds forming around Antonio Honda in the middle of the ring. KANON wanted nothing to do with the Gongitsune joke and he made Honda submit to the Cobra Twist.
Then there was the No Fee Rumble. Oh boy this was something. Takagi and Abe invited accepted a whole bunch of amateur pro wrestlers to enter a Royal Rumble style match. Due to safety reasons entrants would be eliminated if they were knocked out of the ring no matter if it was over the top rope or not. Among the competitors were tribute acts for Asuka, Tiger Mask, Great-O-Khan and Kenta Kobashi. There was also a child, a Super Sentai and 2AW wrestler Takuma Joshiba. Takagi and Abe complained about his entry because Joshiba is an actual pro wrestler. A bunch of participants were all eliminated at the same time when a group attempt to skin the cat failed in spectacular fashion. Abe was the last man standing after he pinned Takagi with a roll up. Takagi liked Great-CO-Khan in particular and thinks he can become the next Chinsuke Nakamura.
Yuki Ueno will get to face Samuray Del Sol at “JUDGEMENT 2023” on 21st March after all. The match was announced during the show.

Here I was thinking the biggest corporate story in wrestling this week would be either DDT taking the trademark for exploding death matches from Atsushi Onita or Toi Kojima unseating Sanshiro Takagi as the president of CyberFight. It all sounds so quiet and peaceful compared to what’s happening in WWE the last 24 hours.

We’re getting a preview for Kazusada Higuchi and Yuji Hino with their buddies Yuki Ishida and Yukio Naya coming along for the ride.
A decade ago Sanshiro Takagi teamed with Munenori Sawa as Hentai Dai Shacho. Now he is forming a new team with Sawa’s protege Fuminori Abe called Bonno Dai Shacho. It’s another path Takagi is taking in 2023 to bring himself back to his peak pro wrestling form.

*ShunMao becomes the 76th KO-D Tag Team Champions!
2023 begins with the crowning of new KO-D Tag Team Champions! The belts were vacated by Harimao back in November when Naomi Yoshimura took time off to deal with a herniated disc. The top two teams chosen to fight over the vacant titles were ShunMao and CDK. The match also had relaxed rules for double pinfalls, which is something CDK is used to by wrestling in places like ChocoPro. But MAO & Shunma Katsumata got used to the idea and together delivered a Double Miracle Ecstacy for a nearfall. Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi had their own tricks and double team moves up their sleeve too and almost won several times. Katsumata took out Brookes with a Topé and ShunMao focused on isolating Takanashi, putting him away with the Oretachi no Mad Max to become the new champs!
The two teams were on good terms after the match. MAO said after six years he & Katsumata are finally the KO-D Tag Champions together and there was no better way for them to start the new year that way! While ShunMao was celebrating with the rest of The 37KAMIINA, suddenly Makoto Oishi & Shiori Asahi entered the ring. They had a new year’s gift for the champions and it is a challenge from Ω. ShunMao agreed and the match will take place on 29th January. It is the same show where Yuji Hino will be fighting for the KO-D Openweight Title so the three of them are aiming to dye DDT’s top championships in Ω’s colours. Backstage Brookes said he is sad CDK lost but their goal as a team is to have fun with pro wrestling. Takanashi is disappointed they aren’t getting to wrestle Oishi & Asahi next.
Nothing could determine a winner between Naruki Doi and Daisuke Sasaki within 30 minutes. Not interference from DAMNATION T.A, not counter interference from Toru Owashi, not the Doi 555 & Bakatare Sliding Kick combo, not the Pedigree & La Mistica Crossface Lock combo, not even the Sasaki Hurricanrana or a School Boy with the cheeky MIKAMI shout out along with it. The match reached its time limit and as a result there is no No. 1 Contender to challenge for the DDT Universal Title on 13th January. Hisaya Imabayashi kept the two in the ring after the match and called the champion Yuki Ueno down to figure out what to do next. Imabayashi suggested doing a 3 Way Match. Ueno liked the idea because he wants to fight Doi and Sasaki but he wants to beat both of them too. So Ueno asked for it to be a Survival 3 Way Match. Doi agreed to it if the match has a 60 minute time limit because he thinks that is enough time for him to beat both Sasaki and Ueno. Sasaki isn’t sure if 60 minutes really is enough but he also accepted the stipulation. He’s certain he can beat Ueno in 3 seconds, it’s just trying to figure out how to beat Doi in 59 minutes and 57 seconds that’s going to be the difficult part.
It will be a few months before Konosuke Takeshita is back in DDT again. His last match here for a while was a win against Takeshi Masada today. Masada pulled out a lot of dazzling kicks at the behest of his opponent to give him his strongest attacks. That was until Takeshita fired back with an Elbow Strike. The Jumping Knee missed its target but Takeshita readjusted himself and caught Masada with a Lariat before pinning him with the Zahi.
After the match Takeshita announced he will return to DDT for “JUDGEMENT 2023” on 21st March where there is a special match he finally wants to do. He has never wrestled a singles match against Sanshiro Takagi! It’s been 15 years since Takeshita first contacted the DDT president about wanting to become a pro wrestler. He’s been able to become one of the best because of him. Takagi was happy to be chosen but unsure he is physically able to do a match at that level. But once Takeshita thought about finding someone better, Takagi lost his temper and gave him a Stunner. He accepts the match after all! He’s going to spend the next three months training until he his no longer Sanshiro Takagi the president but Sanshiro Takagi the pro wrestler!
Ueno had already dealt with DAMNATION T.A earlier in the show with some help from Cara Noir. Together the two were a well oiled team against MJ Paul & KANON. Double Dropkicks, double dives and it all ended with Noir trapping Paul in the Blackout Sleeper with Ueno cutting KANON off from breaking the hold. Noir showed interest in having another match with Ueno in the future but for now he was pleased with getting a prize from the match sponsor Alice Tour for their win today.
Alice Tour also sponsored the 10-Man Tag Match. All active members of BURNING were together in one match for the first time. Poor Yusuke Okada took the brunt of the opposing team’s offence. Soma Takao threw elbows at him, HARASHIMA stomped him in the corner (but not before wishing him a happy new year), RSP & Kazusada Higuchi both flattened him with power moves. Good thing Yuki Ishida messed up his part and ended up getting squashed by RSP’s Swanton Bomb when it was meant for Okada. Jun Akiyama took down RSP with a Lariat and then it was Ishida up taking a train attack from Kotaro Suzuki, Yuya Koroku and the rest of BURNING. Ishida was tough enough to kick out of the Torture Rack Bomb but Tetsuya Endo followed it up with the Burning Star Press to put him away.
Pokotan was in a party mood for the new year and showed up wearing a large Kagami Mochi rice cake on its head. It is said to be good luck if you ever see Pokotan in this state. The wrestlers started to believe it when Pokotan started handing out gift envelopes. It gave an envelope to Yuji Hino just so he would stop attacking it. That led to the other wrestlers all excitedly lining up to receive their own envelopes. Yukinori Matsui got one too. The excitement quickly turned sour once everybody opened their gift just to find a 100 yen coin inside. They all attacked Pokotan, ending with Yukio Naya literally kicking its head off to reveal it is Sanshiro Takagi in the mascot suit! He went on a rampage in the ring until Kazuki Hirata knocked him out. Hirata then put on his glasses and led a big group dance. Unfortunately for him Yukio Sakaguchi did not put on a pair and attacked him instead with Saki Akai joining in. Kazuma Sumi tried to finish Hirata off but the Miracle One Shot Cradle was used out of nowhere and Hirata got away with winning the match.
2023 is the year of the rabbit so Danshoku Dieno wrestled his match wearing rabbit ears. I wish that was the only thing to write about this match. Instead Pheromones had to go out and do their best to cause another incident. When Antonio Honda had Dieno stunned with his latest Gongitsune joke, Yuki Iino was wheeled down to ringside on a cart pushed by Yumehito Imanari and stripped of most of his clothes. The spot was repeated several times with Iino stripping off more and more of his clothing with every appearance. By the fourth time Iino was completely naked using only gift envelopes to hide his shame. That finally caused the match to be called off. Dieno told the fans if they are having a hard time in 2023 then they should look towards Pheromones! Akito will probably have to do just that whether he wants to or not.
Oishi & Asahi were all set up to make their challenge after they beat Hideki Okatani & Toi Kojima in the opening match. Okatani did well to stop the Cactus Flower from being used first time around, causing Kojima to get a nearfall on Oishi. But Asahi broke the pin and was able to do the Cactus Flower with Oishi the second time to get their hands raised.
A lot of announcements and surprises were revealed throughout the show. Samuray Del Sol was announced to appear at “JUDGEMENT 2023” but it turned out he was right there in Korakuen Hall! He came out and chanted “lucha” a lot. Backstage he said the one name that interests him most about DDT is Yuki Ueno so he would like to challenge him for the DDT Universal Title at that show.
Also coming to DDT soon are Kip Sabian & Penelope Ford from AEW. The couple will be in Nagoya on 18th February and Korakuen Hall on 26th February.
Takagi announced his mystery tag partner for his birthday match on 13th January will be Fuminori Abe! Takagi is ready to go over the top in 2023 and wanted his tag partner to be just as crazy. Abe is the disciple of Munenori Sawa who was part of a fond tag team with Takagi over a decade ago. It could be recreated here with Takagi & Abe joining forces. Their tag team name is Bonno Dai Shacho, a reference to Takagi & Sawa being Hentai Dai Shacho.
Two more DDT supercards are added to the schedule, taking place after “JUDGEMENT 2023” in March. “MEGA MAX BUMP 2023” in Yokohama Budokan is happening on 3rd May. “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2023” in Sumo Hall will be on 23rd July.

DDT “ROAD TO NEVER MIND 2022 IN KUMAMOTO”, 17/12/2022
Kumamoto City Information Distribution Center
250 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. 3 Way Match: Shunma Katsumata defeated Saki Akai and Kazuki Hirata when Katsumata pinned Hirata with a Cradle (6:31).
2. Special Tag Match: Akito & Kazuma Sumi (w/ Yoshihiko) defeated Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno when Akito pinned Dieno with a Stepover Toe Hold (11:26).
3. Sanshiro Takagi & Yusuke Okada defeated Toru Owashi & Takeshi Masada when Okada pinned Masada after the Stunner from Takagi (8:28).
4. Daisuke Sasaki & KANON defeated HARASHIMA & Hideki Okatani when Sasaki submitted Okatani with the Numero Dos Punto Seis Seis Seis (11:23).
5. The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING!: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Toi Kojima defeated Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku when Ueno pinned Koroku with the WR (16:03).
6. Kumamoto Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuji Hino, Makoto Oishi & Shiori Asahi defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Chris Brookes & Yuki Ishida when Oishi pinned Ishida after the Cactus Flower (20:36).
Yuki Ishida’s homecoming show was spoiled by Ω. Ishida got to speak on the microphone at the beginning of the show. The end of the show however had Makoto Oishi standing over him throwing insults in front of everyone. Yuji Hino also announced Ω will be producing his 20th Anniversary show in Kumamoto on 20th July next year. DDT will be back there before then in May so Ishida promises to become stronger in time for that.
The big news coming out of this show came from backstage comments made by Sanshiro Takagi & Akito about Atsushi Onita’s upcoming appearance on 7th January. All of a sudden they accused Onita of monopolizing the Current Blast Death Match gimmick! They fear that style of wrestling will die out when Onita is finally gone and called it a negative on the pro wrestling world. Takagi & Akito challenged him to put his trademark for the stipulation on the line in a 6-Man Tag Death Match. Soma Takao will be the third man on the DDT team, putting the three company president wrestlers together to take the trademark away from Onita by force. They claim it will be better if DDT gets control of the trademark so they can spread exploding death matches across the world.
Takeshi Masada still has a lot to learn, like don’t trust anybody while you are wrestling. He almost had Yusuke Okada beaten when Takagi suddenly told him he passed his test and can now go to the DDT show in Hollywood next year. Masada believed him and dropped his guard. Takagi then kicked him in the gut and gave him a Stunner so Okada could roll him up into a pin. Masada said he will remember this and swore revenge on Takagi.
Akito’s team winning today against Pheromones means that his requested stipulation is now added to their match on 29th December. That stipulation is Pheromones must disband if they lose that match.

Every match but the main event was put together by a fan lottery during yesterday’s show. The singles matches all have 10 minute time limits. I’m surprised it took random chance for Haruna Neko Vs Kaya Toribami to finally happen. Cat Vs Bird is so obvious! One of them might actually win too.
DDT “HATSUYUME 2023”, 03/01/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. DDT Universal Title Next Challenger Decision Battle: Naruki Doi Vs Daisuke Sasaki
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi Vs MAO & Shunma Katsumata
Either CDK or ShunMao will become the next KO-D Tag Team Champions. CDK can start the new year adding another championship to their growing collection of tag team achievements. Masahiro Takanashi also wants the win to kick off his goal of regularly appearing on DDT shows for the entirety of 2023. MAO & Shunma Katsumata have plenty of history with their opponents in plenty of ways. Beating them to take the vacant Tag Titles will make up for all of the times they lost to them.
Daisuke Sasaki has so many grudges and conflicts going on I’m starting to lose track. He has a tag match against El Desperado coming up next week then in January he has a first time singles match against Naruki Doi. The winner gets a DDT Universal Title shot later that month. Sasaki is fed up with Dragongate wrestlers coming over to DDT to the point where he can’t tell them apart anymore (he first thought Doi was Masato Yoshino). He will be even more annoyed if a DG wrestler ends up beating Ueno for the Universal Title before he can. Doi believes he deserves this opportunity because of how much success he already gained during his brief time in DDT.
Cara Noir will be on the show.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’23”, 04/01/2023

5. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama, Kotaro Suzuki & Yusuke Okada defeated HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Yukio Naya when Endo pinned Hirata with a Cradle (14:08).
-. Emergency Decision Match: Kotaro Suzuki defeated Yusuke Okada with the Tiger Driver (8:28).
6. Daisuke Sasaki & KANON defeated Chris Brookes & Hideki Okatani when Sasaki pinned Okatani with El Es Culero (11:55).
7. Road To NEVER MIND 2022! Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Toi Kojima defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida when Kojima pinned Ishida with the Kojima In Wonderland ~KOJIMA Wonderland~ (22:41).
They days are counting down to DDT’s final show of 2022 taking place in Tokyo Dome City Hall. There are few chances left for Kazusada Higuchi and Yuki Ueno to test each other in the ring before their big KO-D Openweight Title match to close out the year so they did a lot here. Higuchi blocked the Rolling Guillotine Ace Crusher and avoided the BME. Ueno in return blocked a Diving Body Press with his knees and took down Higuchi with a Standing Shining Wizard, leading to a double down. Their time in the ring together remained in a stalemate so the result came down to Yuki Ishida against Toi Kojima. The Kojima In Wonderland finisher got a nearfall but when the ~KOJIMA Wonderland~ variant was used, Ishida was down and out.
After the match Kojima said he was able to win today under his own strength along with Ueno’s help. When Kojima watched the D-Ou Grand Prix, seeing Ueno never giving up no matter what inspired him. Ueno said Higuchi has been amazing ever since his debut match. But Ueno thinks DDT will be even more fun if he takes the KO-D Title from him. If Ueno wins the KO-D Title while holding the DDT Universal Title then it will be the ultimate proof he is the best in DDT. In the backstage comments, Kojima reminded Ueno that he promised to keep teaming with him until he is stronger than him. Ishida is taking the loss in his stride. He understands that Harimao has to work harder while Naomi Yoshimura is out injured.
Daisuke Sasaki and DAMNATION T.A find themselves taking a detour before TDC Hall. The unit will be heading over to Yoyogi on 19th December for a special JUST TAP OUT show being produced by TAKA Michinoku & Taichi. On the show Sasaki & MJ Paul will have a match against El Desperado and a wrestler to be announced (as of this writing Desperado asked Lance Archer on Twitter if he is available). Sasaki sent a message to Desperado by using one of his signature moves El Es Culero to win his match today. He said this isn’t a Forbidden Door situation because the door was always there. It’s just that it was an automatic door that stayed closed in order to conserve energy. Sasaki then complained about his own drinking habits and said Desperado is going to take responsibility for it. He also has a 4 Way Match coming up in TDC Hall but isn’t worried because he’s been called a 4 Way Magician. Not sure by who though.
With preparations for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match on their mind, BURNING got together to hash things about between them and make sure they all combined into a well oiled machine. They won the 8-Man Tag Match against DISASTER BOX & Yukio Naya by avoiding a last second slip up. Kazuki Hirata tried rolling up Tetsuya Endo with the Miracle One Shot Cradle but it ended with a kickout. Endo responded with the Tetsuya In The Sky and then used his own “Miracle Cradle” to pin Hirata. It was later discovered that Toru Owashi of all people was angry at Endo for embarrassing Hirata like that when Hirata was already clearly defeated. After the match Yusuke Okada told everyone that years ago he held a grudge with Kotaro Suzuki in All Japan. In order to put that past behind him, he suddenly challenged Suzuki to a match there and now so it could be settled. Suzuki agreed and the match went ahead with Suzuki winning in the end. Afterwards Suzuki said Okada gave everything he got and he responded in kind so there should be no more animosity between them. Okada admitted he wasn’t able to close the gap between himself and Suzuki but he is happy to live his life here in DDT. He is now ready to go win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles with Endo & Suzuki! Endo was happy to hear that and set his target. He is going to win the belts by pinning Naruki Doi!
An injured shoulder made Sanshiro Takagi an even bigger target for Takeshi Masada for the rookie’s attempt to convince his boss he is ready to wrestle at DDT’s show in Hollywood next year. However Takagi persisted and was able to hit a Lariat and also the Spicolli Driver for a nearfall. Masada kept on fighting but was overwhelmed by then numbers game when he had to fight Ω. He eventually took a big Chop from Yuji Hino and fell into a pin by Makoto Oishi. Takagi taunted him after the match and said he will never lose to Masada even if his shoulder is not 100%. Masada said he lost to Oishi today, not Takagi. He will still work hard in the remaining shows until he gets to face Takagi one on one at TDC Hall.
Saki Akai got a taste of what to expect from the combined forces of Saori Anou & Riko Kawahata. She had plenty of back and forth exchanges with both women until she was taken out with sandwich kicks from her opponents. It was all up to Yoshiko Hasegawa to keep the match alive from there but she was soon pinned by Anou. After the match Anou asked Akai how it was like wrestling her again after a long time away from each other? There’s still a long way to go until 29th December and Anou is looking forward to that match the most. Kawabata said she is also looking forward to showing everyone what she’s got in a bigger venue and wants to be the one to beat Yuki Arai in the match. Anou also left a vague comment about what she and Kawabata might do in the future. If they beat Reiwa AA Cannon in DDT then would they be interested in a rematch at Tokyo Joshi Pro for the Princess Tag Team Titles?
The tryout match saw Shunma Katsumata beat Chile’s own Anarko Montaña in a friendly contest. Katsumata re-introduced him to the fans after the match, explaining he was briefly in DDT 8 years ago along with Diego. They are amigos and Katsumata hopes one day to do this match again but this time in Chile.
It’s common booking on wrestling shows to do a bunch of preliminary matches between upcoming opponents to build up to their more important matches in bigger venues. Danshoku Dieno came up with a point that the results for most of the matches in the Pheromones Vs Akito feud mean nothing if they are just being done to promote the proper blow off on 29th December. Akito tried to defend the thought process by explaining these matches still exist to liven up the shows. Dieno came up with a proposal to add more stakes to the prelim matches. Akito agreed on the condition that if his team win any of the prelim matches then Pheromones will have to disband if they lose at the TDC Hall show. Dieno accepted but then revealed his own stakes. If Pheromones win today’s match then they add another stipulation to the TDC Hall match. That stipulation is whoever drops the fall to Pheromones on that show has to join their unit for one day! Imagine if that happens to either of the politicians Osamu Nishimura or Shinichiro Kawamatsu? Akito accepted, loudly thinking that if his team ends up losing it will likely be Shunma Katsumata taking the pin and having to take the punishment. He later came to regret that decision when MAO fell for Pheromones’s charms during their match and turned on Akito, costing them the match! Dieno told Akito he has to live up to his end of the deal and tell the politicians the new stipulation for 29th December. He doesn’t want politics in this ring because all Dieno wants in here is the freedom to do whatever Pheromones wants!
A press conference was held before the show revealing a few matches for 3rd January. First, Daisuke Sasaki Vs Naruki Doi was announced with the winner getting the next DDT Universal Title shot. Doi said he’s been in DDT for two months and already showed enough results to deserve to challenge for a singles championship. He never fought Sasaki before so he thinks the match is going to be a treat. Sasaki thought Doi was Masato Yoshino at first and complained about the Dragongate guys not knowing the rules here in DDT. Sasaki then said he is supposed to be the guy to take the Universal Title from Ueno, nobody else.
The other match announced is CDK Vs ShunMao for the vacant KO-D Tag Team Titles. MAO described the history and relationships between all four wrestlers involved are complicated. His expectations for the match are high and he thinks his team will win if they genuinely enjoy the match. Katsumata echoed the comments about their history with their opponents. He wants to win the KO-D Tag Titles and defend them as much as possible. Chris Brookes said the match will be interesting. Masahiro Takanashi pointed out he is about to turn 40 years old and he set himself a goal to accompany it. He wants to win the KO-D Tag Titles on the first DDT show of the year and then participate in every DDT show for the rest of 2023. He hasn’t pulled off a run of attendance like that in DDT for a long time.

7. Road To NEVER MIND 2022! Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida Vs Yuki Ueno & Toi Kojima
The rest of the month is going to give Kazusada Higuchi and Yuki Ueno plenty of matches against each other to prepare for the KO-D Openweight Title bout on 29th December. Harimao, The 37KAMIINA and a few others are getting pulled into the action too.
Saki Akai has a warm up match against her opponents for Tokyo Dome City Hall as well. Saori Anou & Riko Kawahata are coming over early for a tag match, except here Akai is teaming with Yoshiko Hasegawa from Ganbare☆Pro instead of Yuki Arai.
It was eight years ago when Anarko Montaña was last in DDT. The masked wrestler from Chile was brought over by his friend Guanchulo/Diego back then but that was his only appearance for DDT. He is coming back next week for a tryout match with Shunma Katsumata. A good performance here and he may get to stick around.
The vacant KO-D Tag Team Titles will soon find its new champions. The teams competing for the belts on 3rd January will be revealed on this show. There will also be an announcement naming the wrestlers in the running for a future DDT Universal Title shot.

DDT “HATSUYUME 2023”, 03/01/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. DDT Universal Title Next Challenger Decision Battle: X Vs X
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: X & X Vs X & X
DDT have laid out their schedule of championship matches taking place throughout the Spring. 2023 starts off with the vacated KO-D Tag Titles being brought back along with the No. 1 Contender for the Universal Title being determined.
DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2023 TOUR IN SHINJUKU ~FIRE!~”, 13/01/2023
Shinjuku FACE
1. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Winner Of 3/1 Decision Match
Ueno’s plan if he becomes a double champion is to defend both the KO-D Title and Universal Title once a month in separate matches for as long as his body can take it. He also wants to take the Universal Title overseas. That plan can be done without the need for the KO-D Title but Ueno is determined to do everything he can to become the unquestionable face of DDT.
DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2023 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 21/01/2023
Yokohama Radiant Hall
1. DDT Extreme Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs X
Either Jun Akiyama or Super Sasadango Machine won’t have to wait long until the next DDT Extreme Title defence.
DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2023”, 29/01/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Naruki Doi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata (c) Vs X, X & X
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: X & X (c) Vs X & X
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs X
The first KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles defence of 2023 will have either Naruki Doi & DISASTER BOX as the defending champions or maybe it will be BURNING with Kotaro Suzuki instead.
DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA 2023”, 18/02/2023
Aichi Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall
1. DDT Extreme Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs X
2. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs X
Nagoya is getting two title matches.
DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2023”, 26/02/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Naruki Doi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata (c) Vs X, X & X
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: X & X (c) Vs X & X
DDT spent February 2022 building them month around the Ultimate Tag League. That doesn’t seem to be the case for 2023. The 2021 league took place in May and it’s only a young tournament. It hasn’t established its annual schedule yet.
DDT “JUDGEMENT 2023 ~LONGEST 5 HOUR SPECIAL IN KORAKUEN HISTORY~”, 21/03/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs X
DDT’s 26th anniversary show is taking place in Korakuen Hall and the goal is for it to be 5 hours long. Around 14 or 15 matches is the expected amount being planned for the event.
There will be other championship matches happening on this show. Which ones are yet to be determined. But if there is any company that can fill a 15 match card in this day and age with nothing but championship matches it’s DDT. I’m sure they still have the Umemura Personal Computer Copy & Paste Title lying around in their office somewhere.

DDT/ONLY WE “DRAMATIC DREAM TOUR 2022 IN CHIBA”, 03/12/2022
Chiba 2AW Square
110 Fans – No Vacancy
1. Hideki Okatani & Toi Kojima defeated Yusuke Okada & Kazuma Sumi when Okatani pinned Sumi with the Double Arm Suplex (10:34).
2. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno defeated Akito & Hiroshi Yamato when Iino submitted Akito after the 2AW Death Lock (10:55).
3. ONLY WE x DDT Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & KANON defeated Akira Raijin & Tomomitsu Raijin when Sasaki submitted Raijin with the Crossface Lock (10:59).
4. ONLY WE x DDT Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ishida & Quiet Storm defeated Chris Brookes, RSP & Takeshi Masada when Higuchi pinned Masada with the Doctor Bomb (10:45).
5. The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING!: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata defeated Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku when Ueno pinned Koroku with the BME (14:13).
6. ONLY WE x DDT Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya defeated Yuji Hino & Makoto Oishi when HARASHIMA pinned Oishi with the Somato (16:18).
DDT’s collaborations with ONLY WE are turning more and more into Ω tributes as time goes by. It continued here with Yuji Hino & Makoto Oishi losing in the main event and blaming the loss on Shiori Asahi not being there with them. Hino said he wants to revive the entire original Ω unit by the end of the year. He also told Yukio Naya to go and win the D-Ou Grand Prix final tomorrow. HARASHIMA was just happy to be there and win like he always is.
There was less PERON GRANDES action on the show than planned because Shogun Okamoto didn’t want to come home from America in time to be here. Tomomitsu Matsunaga took his place and renamed himself Tomomitsu Raijin so he could fit in better with Akira Raijin. He even had facepaint and writings across his body. But no matter how much of a heel he tried to be, he could not out-heel DAMNATION T.A and ended up losing the match.

5. Isami Kodaka & Masato Kamino Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Fuminori Abe
We’re building up to Isami Kodaka against Fuminori Abe for the Union MAX Title next month.
The FUMA Vs Yasu Urano match can be treated as an unofficial 3rd place playoff from the Chouten ~Itadaki~ tournament. Both of them were eliminated from the semi finals.
BASARA “BASARA 205 ~OJI NI KITSUNE 22~”, 26/11/2022

2. Jacket Tag Match: Daichi Kazato & Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Masato Kamino & Lil’ Kraken

4. Loser Loses Gilberto Style Match: Yasu Urano Vs Isami Kodaka
5. Kung Fu Yoga Allied Forces Vs Ninja USA Forces Counter Attack: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & FUMA Vs Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT
Asian Kung Fu Revolution are producing the evening show. Can the alliance of Kung Fu and Yoga defeat American ninjas in the final battle of the night?
The Gilberto Style Match between Urano and Kodaka is taken from the anime Baki The Grappler. In the anime it is a contest where both fighters hold onto the same handkerchief while they fight. The first one to let go of the handkerchief loses. The “Loser Loses” wordplay is because the Loser Loses his honour in defeat.
Speed Of Sounds having a match against each other is notable by itself but the match title sounding like a reference to Ranma 1/2’s cursed springs has me confused over what they could be planning.
DDT “UTAN FESTA 2022”, 27/11/2022
Tokyo JR Omori Station East Exit Square

6. Omori Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ishida & RSP Vs Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata
Harimao will be without Naomi Yoshimura for a while but at least Kazusada Higuchi still has Yuki Ishida with him. They will team up with RSP to take on The 37KAMIINA.
We’re getting a preview of Joey Janela against Jun Akiyama. It may be the most normal action we’re going to get between the two as they prepare for the DDT Extreme Title match.
No Battle Royal to determine next year’s No. 1 Contender for the World Omori Title?

6. ONLY WE x DDT Special Tag Match: Yuji Hino & Makoto Oishi Vs HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya
Yoshimura’s injury changes the top matches for the DDT & ONLY WE collaboration. Ω now faces the team of HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya, giving Naya a chance to fight Yuji Hino again. Higuchi is now in a 6-Man Tag Match with Ishida and Quiet Storm against the international trio of Chris Brookes, RSP & Takeshi Masada.

7. D-Ou Grand Prix 2022 – Final: Yuki Ueno Vs Yukio Naya
Naya visited his father Takatoriki Tadashige this week to give him the latest report on his pro wrestling career as well as talk about his brother Oho’s currently impressive run at the Grand Sumo Tournament in Fukuoka. Naya told his father he was competing in the D-Ou Grand Prix and qualified for the final next month. Takatoriki praised his son for working hard but told him he always had weak luck. Everybody likes people who are hungry to succeed and try their best but those qualities can be useless if Naya does not have the spirit to bring down his opponent and win. So Takatoriki offered to teach Naya that spirit by using forbidden gambling training to improve his luck.
The training is forbidden because Takatoriki was a retired sumo wrestler who became blackballed from the sport after admitting to illegal gambling on baseball games which resulted borrowing large amounts of money to pay off his debts. Despite his dark history with gambling, he felt this was necessary and challenged Naya to beat him in a game of blackjack. Naya succeeded and his father promised to reward him with a 6 month gift voucher at a Personal Training gym if he wins the D-Ou Grand Prix.
Four of the D-Ou Grand Prix participants who failed to make the final now have to team up together and fight the entire DAMNATION T.A.
Naruki Doi returns and gets his request to fight HARASHIMA granted. It’s in a 6-Man Tag Match though and HARASHIMA has to fight against the rest of his DISASTER BOX stablemates.
