5. DDT Extreme Title – About 24 Hours!! 10,000 Yen Of Pocket Money!! Pro Wrestling Excursion Death Match: To-y (c) defeated Hikaru Sato with the Kaze Ni Nare Splash (25:43:21).
*V1 for To-y.
6. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno defeated KANON with the Gaydo Clutch (11:55).

During the start of the show Danshoku Dieno and KANON had an interaction over at the autograph session that resulted in them getting into a fight. HARASHIMA stepped in to calm them down and the two bowed to each other in apology. However they ended up clashing heads and swapping bodies with each other! For the main event Dieno walked out wearing KANON’s gear and being accompanied by the rest of Strange Love Connection while KANON appeared in Dieno’s gear doing his style of entrance. Dieno in KANON’s body eventually put himself in the Hell Gate position where several wrestlers at ringside were thrown face first into his backside. Ryoma Tsukamoto, MAO, Kazuma Sumi and Yuki Ishida were all made victims of this and they all stripped off their clothes to reveal they were wearing Danshoku outfits underneath! While they caused chaos in the venue, KANON and Dieno clashed heads again and swapped their bodies back to normal. Dieno then gave KANON the Lip Lock and pinned him with the Gaydo Clutch. KIMIHIRO tried to close out the show with SLC but MAO & KANON both gave him the Lip Lock instead. Backstage Dieno said he isn’t sure if today gives him any momentum for his upcoming match against Hiroshi Tanahashi. But he did Tanahashi’s “Aishitemasu” pose to send him a message.

In the 24 hours leading into this show To-y and Hikaru Sato were given pocket money to spend on anything they wanted to use as weapons for their DDT Extreme Title match. The rules also allowed them to find ways to increase their pocket money whether it was through a public autograph session or even gambling. The match itself was also ongoing but the two were so busy finding ways to make cash and spend it that they ignored fighting each other until they actually got to the venue. To-y actually travelled to Odaiba and Sato to Harajuku at certain points in the day in search of allies to hire. To-y tried to hire Yukio Naya and Shunma Katsumata while Sato gave money to Minoru Suzuki but it turned out it was only to buy some stuff from his Piledriver shop. However it turned out Sato did indeed buy some hired goons because Ryoma Tsukamoto, Takahiro Tababa and Gajo all agreed to attack To-y for only 100 yen each. However Yuya Koroku decided to come to To-y’s rescue and even the odds somewhat. Sato put on a Minoru Suzuki shirt and the image of Suzuki intimidated To-y. But To-y took the shirt off Sato and put it on himself, causing Sato to freeze in fear at the sight of Suzuki staring back at him. The shirt also intimidated the goons into joining To-y’s side and they all piled on top of Sato after To-y did a Diving Splash while shouting “Kaze Ni Nare”. To-y said it was fate that Sato was his first challenger for the Extreme Title (actually it was a fan vote on Twitter). He also told him that any money he lent from him would not be given back. Koroku though helped To-y for free so rather than give him money, To-y asked if he would like to challenge for the Extreme Title instead? Koroku said yes because he is jealous of To-y for being the first D GENERATIONS wrestler to win that championship. The title match will go ahead at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025 – DAY 1” on 30th August.

Daichi Sato was convinced by NωA Jr. to join in with their musical entrance for the 6-Man Tag Match. While they tried their best in the actual match they ended up being picked apart by Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes. The finish came from Higuchi repeatedly Body Slamming Yuni, encouraging him to get back up after each one. Yuni tried fighting back with some Elbow Strikes but Higuchi knocked him down with a Chop and pinned him with one final Body Slam. He gave him words of encouragement after the match, explaining that if he feels frustrated then that means he is serious about wrestling. The hiatus he is about to take also shows he is taking his college entry exams seriously as well. So if there is only one thing Higuchi can say to him it is he must pass!

KIMIHIRO got involved in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match a couple of ways. Most of the music for the match played over the speakers but at one point he sang along to it with MAO joining in for a duet. KIMIHIRO also joined in with the dancing by the end and was caught in a chain of Stunners that led to MAO pinning A.YAZAWA for the win.

There was a surprise return on the show when Mataro walked out with DAMNATION T.A instead of Daisuke Sasaki! He told Akito he came here today to rise up against the ruling elite! For the last 20 years he’s been working the cameras and videos for DDT and CyberFight and he is tired of recording third rate wrestlers! Akito decided if Mataro was going to wrestle this match then he must retire if he loses. But DAMNATION T.A won then Akito would step down as Vice President of CyberFight. When the match began Sasaki was found at ringside working as a cameraman and decided to join in on the action after all. Mataro tried to submit Yuki Iino with the Crossface and when that didn’t work he went for a Lariat while Sasaki held Iino from behind. Iino broke free and Mataro hit Sasaki by mistake. Iino then took Mataro down and pinned him with The Apex Elbow, forcing Mataro into retirement for a second time. He also got a retirement ceremony again.

The DDT Extreme Title match already begun earlier today. To-y and Hikaru Sato have spent the day in Shibuya where they held a public autograph session to raise more money to spend on weapons. To-y forgot to bring a marker so Sato is charging him 1,000 yen everytime To-y wants to borrow his own. When the session ended both wrestlers actually raised quite a bit of cash. Sato tweeted he added 40,000 yen to his allowance while To-y claims he raised 65,000 yen. Since then Sato went off to go find weapons to buy while To-y unsuccessfully tried to hire Yukio Naya as his bodyguard.

Unfortunately Antonio Honda has come down with a case of love sickness so he cannot compete tomorrow. A.YAZAWA will take his place in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match.

DDT “SANKO MANUFACTURING CO., LTD. OME PRESENTS HARASHIMA RETURNS HOME! ~WE’RE HOLDING A SHOW IN OME! WHY? BECAUSE IT’S MY HOMETOWN!~”, 27/07/2025

DDT “OSAKA VS TOKYO – DREAM EAST VS WEST PRO WRESTLING BATTLE 2025”, 17/08/2025
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. Rukiya Return Match: Rukiya Vs X
2. East Vs West Vs Unknown All-Out Competition ~ 3 Way Tag Match: Yuki Iino (Tokyo) & Yukio Naya (Tokyo) Vs Chris Brookes (UK) & Takeshi Masada (Osaka) Vs Ilusion (Unknown) & MJ Paul (Unknown)
3. East Vs West All-Out Competition ~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kuroshio TOKYO Japan (Tokyo), To-y (Saitama) & Kazuki Hirata (Tokyo) Vs Danshoku Dieno (Hiroshima), Shigehiro Irie (Osaka) & Mikiya Sasaki (Osaka)
4. East Vs West All-Out Competition ~ Special 8-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi (Hokkaido), Daisuke Sasaki (Tokyo), HARASHIMA (Tokyo) & Antonio Honda (Tokyo) Vs Yuki Ueno (Osaka), Hideki Okatani (Kochi), KANON (Ishikawa) & Kazuma Sumi (Mie)

This show is using geography to put together matches between the east and west of Japan. It results in a few strange bedfellows and in one case, a really bad idea. Putting KANON and Hideki Okatani on the same team is only going to cause trouble.

Rukiya will return after over a year of being on the shelf with a cervical sprain injury. He is treating his return as a way to restart from scratch in order to catch up to the rest of DDT’s young wrestlers.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025 – DAY 1”, 30/08/2025
Tokyo Higashin Arena Main Arena

1. Hinata Kasai Debut Match: Hinata Kasai Vs X
2. Muscle Sakai 15th Anniversary Of Retirement Match ~ Special Single Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs Muscle Sakai
3. Dramatic Dream Tag Match: Zack Sabre Jr. & Kosei Fujita Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs Jun Akiyama

The first KO-D Title defence of “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025” sees Kazusada Higuchi put the belt on the line against Jun Akiyama. The two have a history over the title. When Akiyama held the championship in 2021 he defeated Higuchi and ordered him to wrap the belt around his waist afterwards. But then when Higuchi won the title in 2022 Akiyama was there to wrap the belt around him to bring things around full circle.

When Zack Sabre Jr. wrestled a match in DDT last year he said he would likely return when he becomes the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion again. Looks like he lived up to his promise because he and Kosei Fujita are coming back for a tag match against their buddies Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada. Things are usually friendly between TMDK and SCHADENFREUDE International but wrestling being the way it is means something can always happen to add some heat to the match. Like mistreating Bunbun for example.

October 2010 was when Muscle Sakai retired from pro wrestling after facing Minoru Suzuki in what was supposed to be his final match. Of course pro wrestling retirements are worth dick so it didn’t take long for Sakai to return under the hood of Super Sasadango Machine. This year is the 15th anniversary of that match so it is a good time to revisit it. Sakai is going to face Minoru Suzuki again!

DDT’s newest rookie is the son of Jun Kasai! That’s right, Hinata Kasai is following in the foot steps of his dad although it is interesting to see DDT become his landing spot. Hinata’s dream is to surpass his father as a wrestler but that doesn’t necessarily mean he will do it through death matches.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025 – DAY 2”, 31/08/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Universal Title: Minoru Suzuki (c) Vs MAO
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs Winner Of 16th July Battle Royal
3. Dramatic Dream Match: Hiroshi Tanahashi Vs Danshoku Dieno

Due to a misunderstanding over Hiroshi Tanahashi asking Sasadango to treat him to a meal sometime, the New Japan ace is coming back to DDT for a Dramatic Dream Match against Danshoku Dieno! Tanahashi is doing the rounds of Japan’s pro wrestling scene on his road to retirement. This match might be the one that’s the most unbelievable.

Either Higuchi or Akiyama will be defending the KO-D Title against the Battle Royal winner.

After defending the DDT Universal Title against Yoshihiko, Dieno and now Shinya Aoki it is time for Minoru Suzuki to face someone who is truly universal. MAO thinks it is time for him to hold the Universal Title once more and he has the momentum to beat Suzuki for it. The two have recently travelled together for some overseas bookings so Suzuki is actually looking forward to having MAO as his next big opponent.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SPRING FESTIVAL DEBUT IN UENO!” Results

April 2, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SPRING FESTIVAL DEBUT IN UENO!”, 02/04/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
136 Fans

1. Suzume & Haruna Neko defeated Toga & Chika Nanase when Suzume pinned Nanase with the Ring A Bell (10:00).
2. Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Kira Summer & Ivy Steele when Itoh submitted Steele with the Itoh Deluxe (9:37).

5. Rock ‘N’ Roll Tag Death Match: Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Antonio Honda & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi when Tatsumi pinned A.YAZAWA with a Backslide Pin (9:45).
6. Spring Sports Day Special 10-Woman Tag Match: Mizuki, Yuki Aino, Raku, Haru Kazashiro & Shino Suzuki defeated Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao, Kaya Toribami, Yoshiko Hasegawa & HIMAWARI.
6a. Ball Throwing Match: Mizuki, Yuki Aino, Raku, Haru Kazashiro & Shino Suzuki (5) defeated Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao, Kaya Toribami, Yoshiko Hasegawa & HIMAWARI (2).
– Red Team 1 – 0 White Team.
6b. Three-Legged Wrestling – 2 Count Fall Rules: Shoko Nakajima & Yoshiko Hasegawa defeated Haru Kazashiro & Shino Suzuki with a Double Backslide Pin (1:56).
– Red Team 1 – 1 White Team.
6c. Baton Relay: Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao, Kaya Toribami, Yoshiko Hasegawa & HIMAWARI defeated Mizuki, Yuki Aino, Raku, Haru Kazashiro & Shino Suzuki.
– Red Team 1 – 2 White Team.
6d. Final Single Match ~ Special Rules: Raku defeated Hyper Misao with the Hurricane Turn (5:12).

The main event was a team based challenge involving three games that mixed pro wrestling with a school sports festival. After the three games were completed, the team with the most points were given an advantage for the final round. The first game involved both teams rushing to fill their basket with the most amount of balls. Mizuki from the Red Team and Hyper Misao from the White Team carried the basket and their teammates all tried to throw balls at them. Right before the time expired, Mizuki kicked over Misao’s basket resulting in her team winning five balls to two.

The second game was a wrestling match where two pairs of wrestlers had their legs tied together Three-Legged Race style. The Red Team was Haru Kazashiro & Shino Suzuki while the White Team were Shoko Nakajima & Yoshiko Hasegawa. They struggled to wrestle while being tied together but the White Team were able to roll up the Red Team for the victory.

The third game was a full relay race around the venue split into five parts. It started with Kaya Toribami pinning Yuki Aino with under 1 Count Rules to get a three second headstart. Then Mizuki and Hasegawa had a strawberry eating contest. The rules weren’t fully fleshed out which meant Toribami and Aino joined in to help their partners (and eat some free strawberries). After that Suzuki and Nakajima had a sack race from one end of the aisle to the other. Part 4 was a scavanger hunt between Kazashiro and HIMAWARI where they both went looking for a specific person carrying a yellow towel. The final challenge was a race to get past Tetsuya Koda in order to reach the finish line. Hyper Misao used the Hyper Mobile to speed past Raku, crash into Koda and then cross over the finish line to win the relay for the White Team.

All of that led into the grand finale. It was a singles match between a chosen member from each team and what we got was Raku from the Red Team against Misao from the White Team. Since the White Team had more points, Misao only needed a 1 Count Pinfall to win while Raku needed to score a 2 Count Pinfall. Every wrestler from the two teams interfered. If that wasn’t chaotic enough, Misao armed herself with the hero spray and Raku used her pillow as a weapon. Raku ended up turning the spray on Misao to blind her before using the Hurricane Turn to get the 2 Count pin. Team Red had become the winners of the sports festival!

Match #5 was changed when Antonio Honda was unable to wrestle because of his chronic love sickness. He was replaced by A.YAZAWA and the match was turned into a Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match! Rika Tatsumi prepared herself for the match by bringing her guitar along with her. She also strangled YAZAWA with his own suspenders. He recovered when “Paint It Black” played over the speakers. Everyone danced while they wrestled for a while. The music system malfunctioned midway through the match and started playing other genres. All four joined together when “Swan Lake” played then started fighting again when it was over. Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu were able to pin Honda & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi at the same time with stereo Backslide Pins for the victory.

Pom Harajuku wasn’t at the show because she was feeling unwell. Her scheduled opponent Miu Watanabe was instead added to Arisu Endo Vs Uta Takami to make it a 3 Way Match.

It was announced that Matcha and Alexis Lee will both be returning to Tokyo Joshi Pro for Golden Week. They will be on the 3rd and 5th May shows.

DDT “THE FORTUNE BATTLE 2025” Results

January 18, 2025

DDT “THE FORTUNE BATTLE 2025”, 18/01/2025
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. HARASHIMA, Akito, Yuki Iino & Daichi Sato defeated Daisuke Sasaki, KANON, MJ Paul & Ilusion when HARASHIMA pinned Paul with the Somato (12:57).
2. A Match To Remember Kazuki Hirata ~ Scramble Bunkhouse Glasses Rules: Toru Owashi & Soma Takao defeated Danshoku Dieno & Yuki Ishida when Takao pinned Ishida with the Perfect Driver onto the Glasses (9:35).
3. Special Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura defeated Yukio Naya & Yuya Koroku when Nakamura pinned Koroku with the Modified Crucifix Pin (10:12).
4. Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: Yuki Ueno defeated A.YAZAWA with a Miracle One Shot Cradle (11:12).
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & To-y (c) defeated Yuni & Kazuma Sumi when MAO pinned Sumi with the Ultra Big Tone (21:09).
*V1 for The 37KAMIINA.
6. Special Tag Match: Shuji Ishikawa & Jun Akiyama defeated Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada when Ishikawa pinned Masada with the Splash Mountain (18:45).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Tetsu Inada defeated Poison Sawada JULIE by Pinfall (7:41 pm).
*Tetsu Inada becomes the 1,708th champion.

Shuji Ishikawa appreciated getting help from Jun Akiyama to beat SCHADENFREUDE International in the main event. Antonio Honda actually distracted the referee so Chris Brookes could attack Ishikawa with a chairshot to the head. However Ishikawa hit back with a Headbutt to Brookes while the chair was still wrapped around his neck. He then went on to pin Takeshi Masada with the Splash Mountain. As much as Ishikawa would like to celebrate the win with some karaoke, he told the fans he will wait until he wins the KO-D Openweight Title on 26th January. Honda motivated Brookes by telling him he can overcome anything, just like how Honda overcame his lovesickness today to make to the venue in time to try and help him.

When MAO recently used AI to predict how a match between himself and Kazuma Sumi would turn out, it said he would win using a mystery move called the Ultra Big Tone. Today MAO figured out what that move is and he successfully used it on Sumi to defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles! The Ultra Big Tone starts off as a Lifting Reverse DDT and flips over into a Sitout Facebuster. This is all done from jumping off the second rope too. He praised Sumi & Yuni for being tough challengers while being so young. He heard the ultimate goal for NωA Jr. is to someday perform as idols at the Tokyo Dome. He will cheer them on to reach that goal because the previous NωA never could. While they go do that, he will try his best to bring DDT back to Budokan Hall! Meanwhile To-y said the match gave him a taste of what to expect from the D GENERATIONS CUP. He will chew up the competition there before going back to defending the KO-D Tag Titles again.

As mentioned earlier, Honda was dealing with a bout of lovesickness throughout the day that delayed him from making the show until the main event. His scheduled match with Yuki Ueno had to change into something else. Ueno was now put into a Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match against his new opponent A.YAZAWA! The two wrestlers danced along to music while fighting and Ueno unexpectedly powered himself up by putting on a pair of Hirata GO! glasses! With these glasses he quickly learned how to do the Miracle One Shot Cradle and he used the move to beat YAZAWA.

Keigo Nakamura really wanted to test himself against Yuya Koroku even when his tag partner Shinya Aoki had Koroku beaten with the Full Nelson Hold. Nakamura called out to him and demanded to be tagged in. Aoki recluctantly agreed. That idea almost backfired when Koroku put Nakamura in the Chickenwing Arm Lock. But Nakamura was able to counter it with a Crucifix Pin to get the three count. Aoki admitted to Nakamura he thought they were going to lose the match after he tagged in Nakamura and he was only able to win by a fluke. Nakamura argued he didn’t make any mistake because they ended up winning instead.

Hirata was certainly missed by the wrestlers today. His absence due to injury made some of them so sad that Hisaya Imabayashi decided to turn one of the matches into a tribute for him. Match #2 was turned into a Bunkhouse Scramble Death Match with a pair of Hirata GO! glasses placed in the middle of the ring for everyone to fight over. However everybody fought while ignoring the glasses which made the GM angry. Soma Takao eventually picked up the glasses but used them to stab Danshoku Dieno in the backside. Soma didn’t want to wear them at that point so he decided instead to give Yuki Ishida the Perfect Driver onto them to win.

After beating DAMNATION T.A in the opening bout, HARASHIMA said backstage he would like to challenge them for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. He’ll need to find two wrestlers to team with first, which shouldn’t be difficult for him.

The show ended with an unexpected appearance from Poison Sawada JULIE. He came to the venue today annoyed that nobody has come to challenge him for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. His annoyance only grew backstage when several DDT wrestlers declined to fight him because they were busy with other things so Sawada went out to ringside at the end of the show. Sanshiro Takagi and Imabayashi both confronted him but he fought them off using his Snake Magic. Then suddenly the voice actor Tetsu Inada pulled out a mirror and deflected the magic back at Sawada, knocking him out into a petrified state. Inada then pinned Sanada to win the Iron Man Title and Imabayashi ushered him away from ringside. Inada told reporters backstage it was always his dream as a child to become a pro wrestler and win a cool looking championship. He understands the terrifying threat that comes with this title and called out for any voice actors? to come challenge him should they ever see him in the studio!

Before the show began, Dieno held a public contract signing for the DDT Extreme Title match against Gorgeous Matsuno on 26th January. Matsuno was not present for the signing but the two had already agreed to the stipulation. It will be a Life’s Sparkle Match where only a 1 Count Pinfall is needed to win.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2024 IN SHINJUKU – DAY 2” Results

August 30, 2024

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2024 IN SHINJUKU – DAY 2”, 30/08/2024
Shinjuku FACE
419 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Toru Owashi & Yuki Ishida defeated Yuni & Keigo Nakamura when Owashi pinned Nakamura with La Magistral Cradle (8:05).
*Toru Owashi wins Keigo Nakamura’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Shield.
2. Rock ‘N’ Roll 4 Way Death Match: A.YAZAWA defeated Akito, To-y and Kazuma Sumi when YAZAWA pinned Sumi with a Japanese Leg Lock Clutch (12:23).
3. 4 Vs 3 Handicap Match: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON, MJ Paul & Mataro Suzuki defeated Masahiro Takanashi, Soma Takao & Yuya Koroku when KANON pinned Koroku with the Ground Cobra Twist (8:12).
4. The Long Awaited New Series By Hisaya Imabayashi! Kaidan Shin Numabukuro Deathmatch 2: Shunma Katsumata & Jun Akiyama Vs Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi ended in a No Contest (7:50).
5. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes defeated Ilusion with the Praying Mantis Bomb (13:53).
6. Beer Garden Specialty Customer Lottery 8-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Ueno, Yuki Iino & Takeshi Masada defeated MAO, HARASHIMA, Kazuki Hirata & Yukio Naya when Endo pinned Hirata with the Burning Star Press (21:34).

The fan lottery determined the teams for the main event but nobody was told everyone was going to be switching gimmicks too! On one team Tetsuya Endo dressed as HARASHIMA, Yuki Ueno dressed as Takeshi Masada, Yuki Iino dressed as Endo and Masada was dressed as Kazuki Hirata. On the other team MAO was dressed as Yukio Naya, HARASHIMA was dressed as Ueno, Hirata was dressed as Iino and Naya was dressed as MAO. By taking on each other’s costumes they also copied the entrances and attempted to copy the movesets to mixed results. Some got offended at how bad the impersonation of themselves were which caused some more confusion. In the end, Endo channeled HARASHIMA’s Somato and used the move on Hirata before pinning him with the Burning Star Press.

After being rejected several times, Ilusion was given one golden chance to convince Chris Brookes directly that he genuinely wants to join SCHADENFREUDE International. Brookes put him through the wringer to prove it, going as far as to pull Ilusion’s mask apart. The youngster got a replacement mask but that to would get torn open. The match reached a point where it was clear Ilusion would not win but he kept fighting until Brookes pinned him with the Praying Mantis Bomb. After the match Antonio Honda told Ilusion he lost, but he lost the right way. Everyone who is in SCHADENFREUDE belong there not because they are strong but because they have messed up their own lives. Brookes then told Ilusion he deserves to join the group and welcomed him in! Ilusion said he will learn from the other members from this point onwards so he can get strong and become the centre of DDT!

Something completely unforeseen happened in the Shin Numabukuro Deathmatch. Jun Akiyama won it before Hisaya Imabayashi could even have a chance to begin telling his ghost story! The room went dark and Akiyama found himself travelling back in time to his entrance for the match. He won the match with a School Boy a second time only to time travel back to the beginning again. He soon realised this will keep happening until he wins the match in under three minutes using something other than a Roll Up! Time looped again and at the three minute mark Imabayashi told his ghost story, making everyone faint from shock one by one. But when he went to Akiyama it was blocked. Akiyama physically forced Imabayashi to point at himself causing Imabayashi to die from fright! The room went dark again and Akiyama travelled back to his ring entrance once more, doomed to relive this match over and over forever…

The last time DAMNATION T.A swapped out Daisuke Sasaki for Mataro Suzuki worked out well so they brought the video team member back and declared him their new leader! It was all a trick so Sasaki could enter the match halfway through and give his team the 4-on-3 numbers advantage to win.

It was explained that Honda could not wrestle today because he was suffering from love sickness so A.YAZAWA took his place in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match. There was rock music to make the participants dance, drinking music to make them drink beer and even romantic music to get everyone in the mood.

The Light Blue Right To Challenge Shield now belongs to Toru Owashi after he pinned Keigo Nakamura to win the opening match.

At the start of the show Yuki Ishida announced he has left his gig at the sumo agency in Osaka he joined a few months ago to return home to Tokyo. He will now become a full time wrestler for DDT again but decided to leave behind his “Dosukoi” personality. He tried to wrestle his match without it but was told by Owashi that without Dosukoi he has nothing. Ishida ignored the advice and completed the match. However at the end of the show voice actor Tetsu Inada gave him a spirited talk and Ishida admitted he wants to wrestle using Dosukoi spirit after all! Everyone welcomed him back after hearing that revelation.

The Right To Challenge Shield holders going into the show are Masahiro Takanashi (Blue), KANON (Black), Keigo Nakamura (Light Blue) and Shunma Katsumata (White).

The other three coming back from England are being thrown together into a 3 Way Match against each other. Raku, Mahiro Kiryu and HIMAWARI will show the fans what they learned from their visit to London.

The No Spoiler show is filling up with more wacky ideas with the expectation that nobody going to see the show will spoil it online. A group of wrestlers are claiming to be the new version of The 37KAMIINA and are challenging the originals to a match to prove they are superior. Keizo Matsuda & Takayuki Ueki are familiar enough but Sauna Master is going to be Danshoku Dieno doing some sort of, well, sauna master gimmick.

Pero Pero Master is, or at least in previous apperances was Antonio Honda doing a Hulk Hogan gimmick. Toru Owashi is also going to time travel back to being 20 years younger somehow.

Also on the card are appearances by Poison Sawada JULIE and Furitsuke Kamen.

BASARA “BASARA 238 ~UTAGE~” Results

December 19, 2023

BASARA “BASARA 238 ~UTAGE~”, 19/12/2023
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takumi Tsukamoto & SAGAT defeated Yasu Urano & Masahiro Takanashi when SAGAT pinned Urano with the Goregrind (12:44).
2. 3 Way Match: A.YAZAWA defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi and Gouma Ryu when YAZAWA pinned Hiroshi with a Backslide Pin (9:36).
3. FUMA, KUBITO & Daichi Kazato defeated Lil’ Kraken, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga when FUMA pinned Kraken with the Heavy Metal Anthem (10:56).
4. Isami Kodaka & Minoru Fujita defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Munetatsu Nakamura when Fujita pinned Nakamura with the Modified Samson Clutch (15:19).
5. Ryota Nakatsu & Kazusada Higuchi defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when Nakatsu pinned Nakano with the V Slider (17:27).

The last BASARA show of the year ended with Harimao holding a toast inside the ring. The main event was non-title but Ryota Nakatsu & Kazusada Higuchi are open to giving Aijin Tag a shot at the IRON FIST Tag Team Titles as long as Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino do their best. Harimao are just glad they get to end 2023 in BASARA on a happy note.

Isami Kodaka held the Spirit Of Ganbare Title belt above Shuichiro Katsumura to taunt him after their tag match. Minoru Fujita said the win was an overwhelming victory against Ganbare☆Pro and he looks forward to seeing Kodaka defend the title over there on 27th December. Fujita then decided to challenge FUMA for the Union MAX Title! He thinks everything fell apart for Sento Minzoku this year so in 2024 he will revitalize the group by beating FUMA for the championship. However FUMA said he does not have a good enough recent track record to deserve a shot. Fujita talked about FUMA recently getting married and having a fulfilling personal life while he has nothing but just pro wrestling to rely on. FUMA understood what he meant and accepted the challenge for 7th January.

The 3 Way Match was supposed to be A.YAZAWA’s specialty, the Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match. It is where everyone has to dance whenever rock music plays over the speakers. However the sound system malfunctioned during the match and started playing drinking songs instead, causing the wrestlers to drink alcohol instead of dance.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN – DAY 2” Results

August 29, 2023

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN – DAY 2”, 29/08/2023
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
418 Fans – No Vacancy

1. 3 Way Tag Match ~ Pheromones Escape Rules: Toy Kojima & Kazuma Sumi defeated Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno and Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku when Sumi escaped Pheromones (10:00).
2. Different Mixed Martial Arts Special Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & Yuki Ishida defeated Thanomsak Toba & Rukiya when Aoki pinned Rukiya with the European Clutch (5:39).
3. Table Crash Match: Yuko Miyamoto defeated Hideki Okatani with the Fire Thunder from the stage through the Table (12:09).
4. Rock ‘n’ Roll 3 Way Death Match: Yuni defeated Kazuki Hirata and A.YAZAWA when Yuni pinned YAZAWA with a School Boy (9:52).
5. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul defeated Yuji Hino, Makoto Oishi & Ilusion when KANON pinned Ilusion with the Sleepy Hollow (9:18).
6. Drunk Tag Match: Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai Vs HARASHIMA & Akito ended in a No Contest (13:22).
7. Beer Garden Specialty Customer Lottery 6-Man Tag Match ~ Costume Change Match: Chris Brookes, Jun Akiyama & Yukio Naya defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ueno & Takeshi Masada when Brookes pinned Masada with the Praying Mantis Bomb (16:03).

The teams in the main event were determined by fans picking names out of a box by random fans in the audience. The result ended up being Chris Brookes, Jun Akiyama & Yukio Naya against Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ueno & Takeshi Masada. However as an added bonus it was the match also had all the wrestlers swapping ring gear and pretending to be each other. Brookes was Masada, Akiyama was Naya (wig included), Naya was Higuchi, Higuchi was Akiyama, Ueno was Brookes and Masada was Ueno. Brookes ended up going back to his own moveset to pin Masada with the Praying Mantis Bomb.

The rules of the Drunk Tag Match was after every two minutes every wrestler had to press down a tooth on a crocodile toy game. If the crocodile bites the wrestler’s finger then that person’s team had to drink a cup of tequila. The rule also applied to kickouts and rope breaks. HARASHIMA, Akito and Yukio Sakaguchi had already spent all day drinking beer and continued to do so while they wrestled. They also purposely lost the crocodile game so they could drink even more. Soon other people not involved in the match like Hideki Okatani and Gota Ihashi joined in the fun. Saki Akai got so drunk she fell asleep on the ring apron. Ihashi placed a towel over her body so she wouldn’t catch a cold. That accidentally woke Akai up and she freaked out seeing Ihashi stand over her. Everyone including Kazuki Hirata then calmed her down by singing until she went back to sleep. Yukinori Matsui then decided to call the match off so nobody would wake her up again.

As I expected, Antonio Honda was replaced by A.YAZAWA in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Death Match. It was also a 3 Way instead of a 4 Way because of MAO’s absence. YAZAWA, Hirata and Yuni all expected their match to be interrupted by rock music but they also got songs like Tokyo Ondo, underground idol tracks and Swan Lake. Both Yuni and Hirata piled on top of YAZAWA for the pinfall but since Yuni was the one directly pressing down on YAZAWA he was declared the winner.

Match #3 was unexpectedly announced as a Table Crash Match right before it started. Yuko Miyamoto was able to beat Okatani by putting him through a table placed over a kiddie pool at ringside with the Fire Thunder Driver. Miyamoto complained about getting his gear wet but was still happy with the result. He told Okatani they will have their decisive battle at Ota Ward Gymnasium on 9th September when Triple Six faces Eruption. He also wants that match to be for whatever trios championship Eruption are holding on the day.

The opening match was a Pheromones Escape Match. Different missions were given out by Pheromones for the other teams to accomplish while fighting each other. If a wrestler failed a mission then a piece of the ring gear would be stripped off. Also if a wrestler got their head shoved into Yuki Iino’s backside they would be instantly eliminated from the match. Whichever team had the most points (or any survivors) at the end of ten minutes will be the winner. The teams had to sell beer to fans, find hidden O-back lingerie hidden around the venue and more. By the end of the time limit Kazuma Sumi was the sole survivor, winning the match for his team. His partner Toy Kojima shoved his face into Iino’s backside after the match anyway.

DDT “BEER GARDEN-LIKE PRO WRESTLING 2021 DAY 3” Results

August 1, 2021

DDT “BEER GARDEN-LIKE PRO WRESTLING 2021 DAY 3”, 01/08/2021
Shinjuku FACE
223 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

6. The Annual Tradition! Customer Lottery Match: Jun Akiyama, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo defeated Yuki Ueno, Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura when Endo pinned Yoshimura with the Shooting Star Press (21:26).

Beer Garden 2021 came to a close with the usual end to DDT’s tradition, a Fan Lottery 6-Man Tag Match. Members of the audience randomly picked the spots for each team and we ended up with Jun Akiyama, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo all on the same side. Any visual sign of tension disappeared when Endo came out dressed in his old wrestling gear and encouraged the others to reform Happy Motels for one night. Akiyama had to play the role of Antonio Honda in this case. The opposing team was Yuki Ueno, Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura. All of them came from the DNA generation so they paid tribute to the old brand by wearing DNA shirts and walking out to the DNA theme song. Akiyama played the part of Honda well by tripping onto his knee and doing the Bionic Elbow with his partners. The three of them worked so well they won the match with Endo getting the pin on Yoshimura.

After the match Endo said Beer Garden is all about having fun so he encouraged Akiyama and Takeshita to let go of their rivalry for the day. He also apologised to Takeshita for cheap shotting him at last year’s Beer Garden finale. Takeshita and Akiyama both agreed to get along but things will go back to normal when they fight each other for the KO-D Tag Team Titles on 15th August and the KO-D Openweight Title on the 21st. Endo also promoted his DAMNATION team defending the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles on that day too. They all raised their hands together to end the show… and then Endo Headbutted Takeshita. Endo stormed off backstage and stripped out of his old costume embarrassed that he had to act so nice towards Akiyama & Takeshita today.

Chris Brookes didn’t want to team with Keigo Nakamura so he purposely joined the other team to make it a 3 Vs 1 Handicap match. Brookes entered the ring with The 37KAMIINA but Nakamura begged him to team up as planned. Brookes agreed to do it but still helped Shunma Katsumata & MAO do some triple team spots. Brookes eventually took the match seriously but it wasn’t enough for them to win. Katsumata & MAO hit the Power Bomb/Blockbuster version of MADMAX (apparently any double team move involving Katsumata jumping off the top rope is called the MADMAX) on Nakamura to get the win. Afterwards Katsumata told MAO he found out Jun Kasai’s weakness. He doesn’t like stepping on Lego so they’re going to use them against him at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2021”!

Daisuke Sasaki was pulled from the show on short notice because he might have been in close contact with somebody who recently tested positive for the Coronavirus. The Drunk Match was cancelled and HARASHIMA was moved over to the Rock & Roll Death Match. There was another replacement as Antonio Honda suffered from love sickness and had to be replaced by A.YAZAWA in a rare appearance. Everyone in the match got drunk and danced whenever music played. YAZAWA and Saki Akai did karaoke. A recording of Shuji Ishikawa singing caused Mad Paulie to dance. Everyone fell asleep until Swan Lake played and they all did ballet together. YAZAWA then rolled over Kazuki Hirata to win the match.

Eruption once again got the better of DAMNATION once again in their latest preview match, this time with Yusuke Okada teaming with them. Yuji Hino was already drinking and decided to wrestle in his normal clothing. When he put Akito in a Sleeper Hold he flipped off the rest of his opponents. Eventually he got drunk and when he went to do the Diving Body Press off the top rope, he landed on Nobuhiro Shimatani instead of Yukio Sakaguchi. Hino needed Soma Takao’s help to get out of the ring and while that happened, Sakaguchi pinned Shimatani with the God’s Right Knee.

An accidental bump of heads between Danshoku Dieno and Hideki Okatani during the opening of the show led to them swapping bodies before their match. Dieno walked out wearing Okatani’s gear while Okatani ran out in Dieno’s costume acting just like him. Another clash of heads seemed to turn them back to normal. Dieno was himself again and he chased after Daisuke Kiso. However Okatani didn’t change and he got his hands on Yukinori Matsui. That officials had to call of the match as things got out of hand.

Sanshiro Takagi paid a lot of cash to repair the Dramatic Dream so he is going to get his money’s worth! He brought it out for the opening match, crashed into the combined centaur form of Yukio Naya & Yuki Iino and then crashed into his own partner Yuya Koroku. Iino then hit a Lariat on Koroku to take the win for his team.

The most important match of the week, nay, the month took place in the pre-show. It was the DDT GM Hisaya Imabayashi against the Tokyo Joshi Pro GM Tetsuya Koda in the latest chapter of their never ending one sided rivalry. Imabayashi was spurned on by phonecalls of his increasingly disgruntled wife while Koda showed a more evil side to his wrestling abilities. Sadly for Imabayashi he fell to the Sleeper Hold and as a result won’t be welcomed back home by his family.

Midway through the show, Dieno & Iino confronted Imabayashi demanding to be made into a full time tag team. They kept coming up with sexual innuendos for team names like Osu Academy, The Wizard Of Osu and Will Osupreay. Imabayashi told them he will agree to their demand once they come up with a better tag team name.

Earlier today on the Ganbare☆Pro show, Yuna Manase made it known that she wants a match against Saki Akai. She crashed the DDT show along with Ken Ohka to challenge Akai directly. It is a match she wanted to have at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021” and when that never happened it’s been bothering her ever since. Akai accepted the challenge and wants the match to happen in Fukuoka on 12th September. Manase said Ganpro already has a show in Itabashi that day but Ohka encouraged her to go do it. Manase offered to shake hands but Akai left her hanging.

Voice actor Tetsu Inada will be making appearances at the Hiragana Muscle shows in September.
