DDT “SUMMER VACATION 2022 TOUR IN NAGOYA”, 16/07/2022
Aichi Nippon Gaishi Sports Plaza 3rd Stadium
238 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Yuji Hino defeated Yuki Ishida with the Fuckin’ BOMB (7:26).
2. DISASTER BOX Vs Eruption!: Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani defeated HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Okatani pinned Hirata with the Double Arm Suplex (11:22).
3. The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & Toi Kojima defeated Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku when Kojima pinned Koroku with the Fushigi No Kuni No Kojima ~Kojima Wonderland~ (11:58).
4. Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura defeated MAO & Soma Takao when Yoshimura pinned Takao with the Harai Goshi (12:57).
5. DDT Extreme Title – 3 Vs 1 Handicap Rule: Akito defeated Yuki “Sexy” Iino (c), Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari when Akito pinned Dieno with a Cradle (12:57). (Special Referee: Sanshiro Takagi)
*Yuki “Sexy” Iino fails in V3. Akito becomes the 54th DDT Extreme Champion!
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON (c) defeated Masahiro Takanashi, Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda when KANON submitted Honda with the Just Cobra Twist (19:30).
*V1 for DAMNATION T.A.

Daisuke Sasaki was feeling in a better mood after the main event. DAMNATION T.A defeated the combination of CDK & The Iyasareru so he no longer has to worry about whether or not Antonio Honda deserves to fight for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. Honda put up a fight and was a difficult opponent for KANON to put away, but he did so in the end. Afterwards Sasaki nominated The 37KAMIINA as the next challengers because they were recent guests on the TV show “The World Unknown To Matsuko”. Sasaki thinks Toi Kojima is getting a big head because he got to be on national TV. He then attacked him but Kojima fought him off with the Kojima Wonderland Full Nelson Buster. Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata joined in to knock both KANON & MJ Paul out of the ring. Kojima accepted the challenge to fight DAMANTION T.A for the 6-Man Tag Titles. KANON decided the match will take place on 24th July and told The 37KAMIINA you’re supposed to be quiet when you enter the sauna!

The DDT Extreme Title is back in the loving arms of Akito! He fought Pheromones in a 3 Vs 1 Handicap. Despite the numbers disadvantage Akito had two things going in his favour. He could beat any member of Pheromones to win the title and Sanshiro Takagi was the special referee. However an extra rule was added that allowed anyone wearing a referee shirt to take over if Takagi was somehow unable to do his job. Takagi is determined to destroy Pheromones so he came up with excuses not to count Yuki Iino’s pinfalls. Pheromones eventually had enough of his behavior and attacked him, causing Yukinori Matsui to run in as the substitute ref. When he only counted two for the Yoropean Clutch, Yumehito Imanari gave him a Low Blow and gave a referee shirt to Danshoku Dieno. The numbers game left Akito on the verge of defeat until Dieno suddenly held up a pin count, deciding Pheromones weren’t done “judging” him yet. Akito then suddenly put Dieno in the Figure 4 Leg Lock and he began submitting. There was no referee so Hisaya Imabayashi tried to intervene but Iino took him out to keep the match going. Imanari then returned wearing his own referee shirt. When all hope was lost, Takagi returned to the ring all patched up. He hit the Stunner to all members of Pheromones and Akito rolled Dieno over with a School Boy to win the match and become champion again!

After the match Takagi swore to destroy Pheromones once and for all on 24th July. A confused Dieno thought he was meant to destroy them today. Akito is distancing himself from that whole situation and accepts that Pheromones should be allowed to express their own style of pro wrestling however they want. Akito wants to take the Extreme highway and be so attached to this championship that the fans will call him Mr. EXTREME! Later in the day, Joey Janela found out about the result and tweeted his desire to fight for the Extreme Title when he comes over to Japan.

Naomi Yoshimura is looking ahead with big plans for himself and Kazusada Higuchi. They want to win the KO-D Tag Team Titles on 24th July so Higuchi can return to Nagoya as a double champion. Yoshimura then said that he wants to work with Kota Umeda at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2022” on 20th August. That’s not all. He also wants Keisuke Okuda to be involved! He said if you followed DNA at the time all three of them were involved you would know why.

Whoever Wears The Referee Shirt Gets The Power!

July 15, 2022

DDT “SUMMER VACATION 2022 TOUR IN NAGOYA”, 16/07/2022
Aichi Nippon Gaishi Sports Plaza 3rd Stadium

5. DDT Extreme Title – 3 Vs 1 Handicap Rule: Yuki “Sexy” Iino (c), Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari Vs Akito (Special Referee: Sanshiro Takagi)
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi, Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda

Not only has Antonio Honda proved he deserves to be in the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match, it is now the main event too!

An extra rule is added to the DDT Extreme Title match after Danshoku Dieno warned that something bad could happen to the special referee Sanshiro Takagi and prevent him from doing his job. Akito and Hisaya Imabayashi are taking the threat seriously and came up with a backup plan. If Takagi cannot do his refereeing duties during the match for any reason then anyone who puts on the referee shirt will get to act as one! Imabayashi also announced the show will not air live on Wrestle Universe because of this match. If the match gets too out of control it will be cut from the VOD! Another thing to note about this match is where the inspiration for the match came from. According to the DDT website, the 3 Vs 1 Handicap stipulation is a call back to Antonio Inoki Vs Rusher Kimura, Animal Hamaguchi & Isamu Teranishi series from 1982 and 1983.

Yukio Naya is out of action with a fever and is off this weekend’s shows. Soma Takao replaces him on tomorrow’s card.

Dosun Dosun, Special Ref Takagi, Akai & Akiyama Teaming Together, Dramatic Explosion 2022

July 8, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22”, 09/07/2022
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Moka Miyamoto Vs Juria Nagano
2. Aja Kong, Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Hyper Misao, Nao Kakuta, Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami
3. Ryo Mizunami Vs Miu Watanabe
4. Hikaru Shida & Hikari Noa Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu
5. Riho & Arisu Endo Vs Mei Suruga & Suzume
6. International Princess Title: Maki Itoh (c) Vs Alex Windsor
7. Special Single Match: Thunder Rosa Vs Miyu Yamashita
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Saki Akai & Yuki Arai
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi

Before travelling to Japan, Thunder Rosa sent a video message to Tokyo Joshi Pro. In the video Rosa said if Miyu Yamashita beats her she will invite Yamashita back to AEW to have a rematch for the AEW Women’s Title. You know, it sounds very similar to what happened when Chris Jericho gave Hiroshi Tanahashi the same challenge at Wrestle Kingdom in 2020. Remember that is what inadvertently created the Forbidden Door phenomenon Just something to think about.

Juria Nagano is adding to her moveset after coming to the realization that the Brazilian Kick became too predictable for her opponents to see coming. She came up with a kicking combination based on her own Karate skill mixed with techniques she learned from watching videos of K-1 fighters and kickboxers on Youtube. For the moment she is calling this move the Dosun Dosun because that is the sound it makes (thud, thud) when she hits the opponent. She also learned from watching THE MATCH between Tenshin Nasukawa and Takeru, particularly how to fight as an underdog.

GANBARE☆PRO “WRESTLE SEKIGAHARA”, 10/07/2022

I wanted to write up a preview for this because it is the first time Ganbare☆Pro is doing a big arena show by themselves. Couldn’t find the time to do it unfortunately.

Some old monster gimmicks will be at the shot doing photo sessions with the fans. They are Dr. Kiriko, Mr. No and Shin Mokujin Ken. Whatever happened to J-Soul Pandita III IV?

DDT “SUMMER VACATION 2022 TOUR IN NAGOYA”, 16/07/2022
Aichi Nippon Gaishi Sports Plaza 3rd Stadium

1. Yuji Hino Vs Yuki Ishida
2. DISASTER BOX Vs Eruption!: HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani
3. The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & Toi Kojima Vs Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku
4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi, Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
5. DDT Extreme Title – 3 Vs 1 Handicap Rule: Yuki “Sexy” Iino (c), Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari Vs Akito (Special Referee: Sanshiro Takagi)
6. Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura Vs MAO & Yukio Naya

The changes caused by Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura graduating from their units and forming a tag team together is already being felt. Several matches for next week’s show have been swapped around now that Higuchi is no longer in Eruption and Yoshimura is no longer with DISASTER BOX.

Sanshiro Takagi has made himself the Special Referee for the DDT Extreme Title match. He has no power to be an active competitor in the match because only the champion Yuki Iino could make that decision. However every match needs a referee and Takagi got permission from Hisaya Imabayashi to be that referee. This is all part of his plan to destroy Pheromones once and for all. A potential roadblock to this plan is Akito. He no longer wants to be involved with this feud and is only concerned about becoming the Extreme Champion again on his own terms. Takagi tipping the odds in Akito’s favour or even straight up handing him the victory probably won’t be tolerated by the challenger.

Daisuke Sasaki has said he will quit pro wrestling if Antonio Honda makes him laugh during the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match. Whether or not he lives up to this idea remains to be seen.

DDT “SUMMER VACATION 2022 TOUR IN NAGANO”, 18/07/2022
Nagano City Art Center Act Space

1. Akito & Saki Akai Vs Antonio Honda & Soma Takao
2. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON Vs Yuji Hino, Yukio Naya & Yuya Koroku
3. Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada Vs Chris Brookes & Yuki Ishida
4. The 37KAMIINA Vs Eruption!: Yuki Ueno & Toi Kojima Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani
5. Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura Vs MAO & Shunma Katsumata
6. Nagano Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yasushi Kanda, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata

The Higuchi & Yoshimura team will be heavily focused on MAO for the time being.

DDT “SUMMER VACATION 2022”, 24/07/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: MJ Paul Vs Toi Kojima
1. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs Toru Owashi & Gota Ihashi
2. 3 Way Tag Match: Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya Vs Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda Vs Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani
3. Makoto Oishi Return Match: Makoto Oishi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Akito & Yuki Ishida
4. Tetsuya Endo Return Match ~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku Vs HARASHIMA, Yukio Sakaguchi & Soma Takao
5. DDT Universal Title: Masahiro Takanashi (c) Vs Yusuke Okada
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & Asuka (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura

And here is the reason why. The new tag team have challenged MAO & Asuka for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Yoshimura wants to strike while the iron is hot and is treating this match as their only chance to win the belts.

Masahiro Takanashi and Yusuke Okada are currently arguing over who is the more negative personality in DDT. Neither wants to admit the other is more miserable then themselves for some reason.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2022”, 20/08/2022
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Shinichiro Kawamatsu Debut Match ~ Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly Member Vs Bunkyo Ward Assembly Member: Shinichiro Kawamatsu, Sanshiro Takagi & Soma Takao Vs Osamu Nishimura, Makoto Oishi & Akito
2. Special Mixed Tag Match: Jun Akiyama & Saki Akai Vs Chris Brookes & Asuka
3. International Special Hardcore Match: Joey Janela Vs Shunma Katsumata
4. DDT Universal Title: Masahiro Takanashi (c) Vs X
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs X

For the first time ever Jun Akiyama and Saki Akai are teaming together! It is also going to be Akiyama’s first time doing a Mixed Tag Match. This is Akai’s idea because she thinks teaming with Akiyama will be a great way to become a stronger wrestler. Akiyama accepts the offer because he is the coach for the entire DDT roster, not just the young wrestlers. Chris Brookes & Asuka have been chosen as their opponents.

DDT “DRAMATIC EXPLOSION 2022”, 04/09/2022
Aichi Nagoya Congress Center Event Hall

1. Current Blast 6-Man Tag Death Match: Atsushi Onita, Shinya Aoki & Yukio Naya Vs Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & Toi Kojima

Part of Konosuke Takeshita’s return to Japan after the summer is to take part in an Atsushi Onita explosion death match! He reunites with his buddies from The 37KAMIINA while Onita is joined by Shinya Aoki & Yukio Naya. Those two are becoming well familiar with explosion death matches at this point.

3. Nagano Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yasushi Kanda, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata

The Nagano shows booked by Toru Owashi are responsible for patching up the relationship between DDT and Dragongate in recent years. Owashi is continuing it by inviting Yasushi Kanda back for another appearance. Kanda accepted the deal on the sole condition that he does not fight against Pheromones again. Owashi understands the request and wants to protect the friendly relationship between both companies. So he is booking Kanda to team with Pheromones instead!

Higuchi New KO-D Champ, Everett Not A Giant? Salad Or Sweetbread, Extreme Title Handicap Match

July 4, 2022

DDT “DDT FREE -LET’S ALL SPEAK UP!-”, 07/07/2022
Shinjuku FACE

1. KANON Vs Yuya Koroku
2. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs Akito & Kazuki Hirata
3. Jun Akiyama, Yuji Hino, Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida Vs HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani
4. Masahiro Takanashi & Shunma Katsumata Vs Asuka & Yusuke Okada
5. DAMNATION T.A Vs The Iyasareru!: Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
6. Special Single Match: MAO Vs Andrew “The Giant” Everett
7. Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yuki Ueno & Toi Kojima

A press conference was held today for Kazusada Higuchi to address the King Of DDT aftermath. The new KO-D Openweight Champion thanked the fans for their support because he doesn’t think he won the tournament by himself. He praised both of his recent opponents Jun Akiyama and Naomi Yoshimura. He would be fine with Akiyama being one of his title challengers. He also suggested teaming with Yoshimura in a tag match because they did not interact often in DNA and it would be something new. DDT accepted his request for the tag match. They chose Yuki Ueno & Toi Kojima for their opponents because Ueno was also in the semi-finals and Kojima is from after the DNA generation.

Questions have been asked about Andrew Everett’s true size ever since his DDT debut took place. He was given a surprise height measurement during today’s press conference after he was told he would face MAO in a singles match this Thursday. Hisaya Imabayashi tried to measure him but Everett kept trying to cheat. He jumped in the air, stood on a chair and then accidentally pulled the measuring tape off the wall before Choke Slamming it. Imabayashi finally got to measure him when he wasn’t looking and discovered he is really only 170cm tall! Everett has been exposed as a fraud! However his high flying abilities during yesterday’s match was so impressive that DDT still wants to book him. So his match with MAO will go ahead.

An autograph session for Ken Ohka and Shota was held at the Champion shop in Suidobashi yesterday. Yumehito Imanari crashed the event and taunted Ohka by offering him a choice of chicken salad or sweetbread. Ohka chose the salad and took a bite out of it to prove he is taking his diet for the match seriously. Imanari approved and said he can see the shine in Ohka’s face returning. But then he tried to stuff the sweetbread into Ohka’s mouth. Ohka resisted and said he wouldn’t break his promise to be the best Ken Ohka he can be. Imanari backed off and again gave approval to Ohka’s serious attitude toward their match.

SenoSister Mao Inoue is a familiar face on Gake no Fuchi Joshi shows. Sylvania❤️Catherine is apparently related to indie wrestler Takahiro Katori.

DDT “SUMMER VACATION 2022 TOUR IN NAGOYA”, 16/07/2022
Aichi Nippon Gaishi Sports Plaza 3rd Stadium

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi, Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
2. DDT Extreme Title – 3 Vs 1 Handicap Rule: Yuki “Sexy” Iino (c), Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari Vs Akito

The match stipulations for DDT Extreme Title defences are usually decided by the champion so it is a little odd how little those rules get abused. This is one of those times. Yuki Iino is teaming with Danshoku Dieno AND Yumehito Imanari to face Akito in a 3 Vs 1 Handicap Match. However the rule may backfire because it is a one fall match and Akito will become the champion if he beats any member of Pheromones.

DDT “SUMMER VACATION 2022”, 24/07/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Makoto Oishi Return Match: Makoto Oishi Vs X
2. Tetsuya Endo Return Match: Tetsuya Endo Vs X
3. DDT Universal Title: Masahiro Takanashi (c) Vs Yusuke Okada

Yusuke Okada is tired sitting on the sidelines while the rest of BURNING gets to do their thing. He is finally taking initiative for himself and challenging Masahiro Takanashi for the DDT Universal Title. Takanashi is fighting to keep the title so he can bring it with him when he begins wrestling around the world after the summer.

42 days after his concussion, Tetsuya Endo will be cleared to wrestle again. He accepts the result of the DDT Vs NOAH match from “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022” and wants to move on with a fresh start. Whether or not he quickly returns to the title picture remains to be seen but the path to take it would begin here.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2022”, 20/08/2022
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Shinichiro Kawamatsu Debut Match ~ Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly Member Vs Bunkyo Ward Assembly Member: Shinichiro Kawamatsu, Sanshiro Takagi & Soma Takao Vs Osamu Nishimura, Makoto Oishi & Akito
2. International Special Hardcore Match: Joey Janela Vs Shunma Katsumata
3. DDT Universal Title: Masahiro Takanashi (c) Vs X
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs X

Higuchi wants to nominate Endo as his opponent for “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2022”. It will all depend on how well Endo does in his return match on 27th July. If DDT or Endo himself does not think he is up to the task then Higuchi may have to nominate someone else.

The debut match of Shinichiro Kawamatsu is going to be more political than he anticipated. One of his opponents is Osamu Nishimura! The legendary wrestler is currently a Councilor on the Bunkyo Ward Council.

Konosuke Takeshita will be on the show. He is coming back to Japan for a little while before continuing his international excursion.

DDT “DRAMATIC EXPLOSION 2022”, 04/09/2022
Aichi Nagoya Congress Center Event Hall

1. Current Blast Death Match: Atsushi Onita Vs X

It’s the return of Atsushi Onita and the Explosion Death Match to DDT!

DDT “JAPAN BAKERY MARKETING PRESENTS KONOSUKE TAKESHITA 10TH ANNIVERSARY ~NISHINARI BAY BLUES~”, 10/09/2022
Osaka Nishinari Kumin Center

1. Japan Bakery Marketing Co., Ltd. Presents Special Single Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Daisuke Sasaki

Takeshita will also be in his hometown to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of his debut match. He was asked to choose his opponent and he picked Daisuke Sasaki. He decided nobody else can bring out all of himself in the ring like Sasaki can. He also doesn’t know how many more times they will have singles matches against each other so now is the time to do it again.

Matsuno’s Absence, Andrew Everett Debut, Akito’s Beloved Extreme Title

June 28, 2022

It was announced today that Gorgeous Matsuno is currently on a leave of absence from pro wrestling. His partner Junko Tashiro is under treatment for glomerulonephritis that has been rapidly developing since last January. She is scheduled to get a kidney transplant in August and Matsuno is the donor. Matsuno is staying away from wrestling for a while to prepare for the transplant along with the post-operation procedures. He was originally planning to hold his annual “GORGEOUS NIGHT” show with DDT on 19th September but that is now postponed. Matsuno said he is like a phoenix and will always come back to the wrestling ring. He promised the “GORGEOUS NIGHT” show will happen when he is ready to do it.

GANBARE☆PRO “KINDERGARTEN COP 2022”, 29/06/2022

Tomorrow is Ganbare☆Pro’s go home show for “WRESTLE SEKIGAHARA”!

DDT “KING OF DDT 2022 FINAL!!”, 03/07/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani Vs Toru Owashi, Soma Takao & Toi Kojima
0. Dark Match: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON Vs Yuji Hino, Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida
1. King Of DDT 2022 – Semi Final: Yuki Ueno Vs Naomi Yoshimura
2. King Of DDT 2022 – Semi Final: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Jun Akiyama
3. Masahiro Takanashi & HARASHIMA Vs Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku
4. Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari Vs Akito, Antonio Honda & Kazuki Hirata
5. Special Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Chris Brookes & Andrew “The Giant” Everett
6. KO-D Openweight Title – King Of DDT 2022 – Final: X Vs X

It’s the DDT debut of Andrew “The Giant” Everett! The North Carolina native last wrestled in Japan in 2018 for NOAH. Since then Everett had a self-proclaimed transformation over the years. If you believe what he says, the high flyer grew in size from 175cm and 97kg to 223cm and 190.5kg! Everett says Japan has not seen a wrestler like him since Monster Roussimoff! He threatens to stomp over everyone who gets in his way, drop them with the Choke Slam and crush them with the Shooting Star Press!

There are a few small changes to the card after the situation where Akito left Pheromones. He will now be wrestling against them in the trios match by replacing Yukio Naya on the other team. Yumehito Imanari ensures Pheromones are still at full strength by taking Akito’s original spot. Naya gets bumped down to the dark match as a result but at least he is back teaming with familiar partners.

Tetsuya Endo will be at the show. It will be his first public appearance since he suffered the concussion at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022”. He will give the fans an update on his status during the show.

DDT “SUMMER VACATION 2022 TOUR IN NAGOYA”, 16/07/2022
Aichi Nippon Gaishi Sports Plaza 3rd Stadium

1. DDT Extreme Title: Yuki “Sexy” Iino (c) Vs Akito
2. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi, Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda

Whether he intended to or not, Akito is now seen as a betrayer by Pheromones. He stepped up to challenge Yuki Iino for the DDT Extreme Title because it is the most important championship to him in DDT. Danshoku Dieno refused because Pheromones will not allow themselves to fight each other. So Akito decided to ditch his new “Cochin” persona and leave the group so he could do the match as himself. The challenge was accepted but Pheromones turned on him over the decision and beat him into an embarrassing state. Akito can get his revenge by winning his beloved title in his home region.

June 24, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ~KOBE PERFORMANCE~”, 25/06/2022
Kobe Art Center

1. Hikari Noa Vs Mahiro Kiryu
2. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao Vs Haruna Neko Vs Kaya Toribami
3. Yuka Sakazaki, Raku & Arisu Endo Vs Yuki Aino, Yuki Kamifuku & Yuki Arai
4. Maki Itoh Vs Pom Harajuku
5. Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto Vs Mizuki & Nao Kakuta
6. Shoko Nakajima & Suzume Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe

Tokyo Joshi Pro visits Kobe Art Center for the second time this year.

Yuki Aino, Yuki Kamifuku & Yuki Arai have all noticed what they have in common. Their team is called Yukichans!

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TOUR 2022 IN YOKOHAMA”, 25/06/2022
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya Vs HARASHIMA & Hideki Okatani
2. Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Akito “Cochin” Nishigaki Vs Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Soma Takao
3. DAMNATION T.A Vs The Iyasareru!: Daisuke Sasaki & KANON Vs Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
4. Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yuya Koroku

6. KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles: Poison Sawada JULIE, Takashi Sasaki, GENTARO, MIKAMI & Thanomsak Toba (w/ Naomi Susan) (c) Vs Yuki Ueno, MAO, Shunma Katsumata, Toi Kojima & Shinya Aoki

The identity of Chris Brookes’ tag partner on 3rd July will be revealed during tomorrow’s show. The clues so far are it is a foreign wrestler but, to my surprise, it is not somebody Brookes is already an acquaintance with. So that means it is not Drew Parker or a Kid Lykos or like 90% of the British wrestling scene for that matter. Brookes himself is trying to find out before the show takes place and is badgering Sanshiro Takagi online to at least send him a LINE message about it. Takagi has also said it is not Joey Janela making an early appearance, meaning it is a sign there are more foreign wrestlers coming to DDT this year.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ~FUKUOKA PERFORMANCE~”, 26/06/2022
Fukuoka Nishitetsu Hall

1. Moka Miyamoto Vs Kaya Toribami
2. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuki Kamifuku Vs Raku
3. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Miu Watanabe, Pom Harajuku & Yuki Arai
4. Hyper Misao Vs Arisu Endo
5. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta Vs Suzume & Haruna Neko

On Sunday TJPW returns to Hakata for the first time in three years.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2022 FINAL!!”, 03/07/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani Vs Toru Owashi, Soma Takao & Toi Kojima
0. Dark Match: Daisuke Sasaki & KANON Vs Yuji Hino & Yuki Ishida
1. King Of DDT 2022 – Semi Final: Yuki Ueno Vs Naomi Yoshimura
2. King Of DDT 2022 – Semi Final: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Jun Akiyama
3. Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Akito “Cochin” Nishigaki Vs Antonio Honda, Kazuki Hirata & Yukio Naya
4. Masahiro Takanashi & HARASHIMA Vs Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku
5. Special Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Chris Brookes & X
6. KO-D Openweight Title – King Of DDT 2022 – Final: X Vs X

The four remaining wrestlers in King Of DDT gave their thoughts going into the final rounds. Yuki Ueno wants to use his skills to spread DDT across the world and this tournament is his chance to do that. Naomi Yoshimura credits his size advantage for getting through the first two rounds. He is also letting those results speak for themselves rather than fighting on behalf of the people he has defeated like the others. Kazusada Higuchi wants to win the vacant KO-D Openweight Title and become DDT’s symbol of strength while he waits for Tetsuya Endo to return. Jun Akiyama just said now is the time for DDT to show their strength and he will lead the charge.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22”, 09/07/2022
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Moka Miyamoto Vs Juria Nagano
2. Aja Kong, Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Hyper Misao, Nao Kakuta, Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami

5. International Princess Title: Maki Itoh (c) Vs Alex Windsor
6. Riho & Arisu Endo Vs Mei Suruga & Suzume
7. Special Single Match: Thunder Rosa Vs Miyu Yamashita
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Saki Akai & Yuki Arai
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi

Rika Tatsumi is excited for her main event match because she gets to fight on the stage of her dreams. She wants to make Shoko Nakajima feel the same way and have a crazy match for the Princess Of Princess Title. Tatsumi is hoping to discover a side of herself she has never seen before. Nakajima senses TJPW is getting momentum and she wants to stay at the forefront of it. She can tell Tatsumi wants to be in the same position so she is really looking forward to the match.

A fresh new challenge has appeared for The Magical Sugar Rabbits, even if there is something vaguely familiar with it. I don’t know, I can’t help but feel like I’ve seen this scenario develop three times already… Yuka Sakazaki thinks the Princess Tag Team Titles are characterized by a wide variety of matches and Mizuki wants to make them even more valuable. Reiwa AA Cannon are fitting opponents for those reasons because it is two high profile women teaming together. Yuki Arai feels blessed to be surrounded by wonderful senpais and wants to make the most out of her opportunities. Winning the Tag Titles is not her ultimate goal in wrestling but is part of the process. Saki Akai thinks she needs to get to know Arai better because this will only be their third time teaming together. Their opponents have been strongly bonded together by friendship for years!

GANBARE☆PRO “WRESTLE SEKIGAHARA”, 10/07/2022
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Ganpro Specialty 3 Vs 2 Handicap Match: Ganbare Tamagawa, Nobuhiro Shimatani & HARUKAZE Vs Onryo & YuuRI (w/ Ippanjin Munenori Sawa)

3. Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling Vs Eruption: Mizuki Watase, Moeka Haruhi & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani
4. Four Beasts Of Fate Gathered In Sekigahara ~Special Tag Match~: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs Isami Kodaka & Shuji Ishikawa
5. Special Single Match: Yuna Manase Vs Sayaka Unagi
6. Special Tag Match ~ CDK Vs ROMANCE DAWN: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi Vs Shota & Soma Takao
7. Special Single Match: Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Minoru Suzuki
8. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Yumehito Imanari (c) Vs Ken Ohka

An unusual opening match has been added to the card. On paper it was 3 Vs 2 with Ganbare Tamagawa, Nobuhiro Shimatani & HARUKAZE on one side against Onryo & YuuRI. However Onryo & YuuRI will be joined by a third person. Munenori Sawa will be in their corner. He’s been officially retired from pro wrestling for years now but he’ll find some excuse to get physically involved in the match without breaking his commitment to stay retired.

BASARA “BASARA 196 ~ITCHI DANKETSU~”, 10/07/2022
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. Isami Kodaka 20th Anniversary Special Tag Match: Isami Kodaka & Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Fuminori Abe & Ikuto Hidaka

Just a little over a week before Isami Kodaka holds his 20th Anniversary show, he is having a special tag match with Ikuto Hidaka involved.

Now that DAMNATION T.A’s run as KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles has gone past their little detour, it’s time for their first title defence. A merger of CDK & The Iyasareru makes up the team of challengers.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’19 ~BEST REGARDS~” Results

November 16, 2019

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “FALL TOUR ’19 ~BEST REGARDS~”, 16/11/2019
Aichi Nippon Gaishi Sports Plaza 3rd Stadium
240 Fans

1. Yuki Aino defeated Suzume with the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire (6:06).
2. Hikari Noa defeated Haruna Neko with the Uranage (5:49).
3. 3 Way Match: Nodoka Tenma defeated Pom Harajuku and Mahiro Kiryu when Tenma pinned Harajuku with the Killswitch (8:28).
4. Miyu Yamashita & Yuna Manase defeated Miu Watanabe & Mirai Maiumi when Yamashita pinned Maiumi with a Backward Kick (7:57).
5. Sakisama & Misao defeated Rika Tatsumi & Raku when Misao pinned Raku with the Vanitas (11:39).
6. Nagoya Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa when Mizuki pinned Shirakawa with the Cutie Special (11:46).
7. International Princess Title: Maki Itoh (c) defeated Nightshade with the Flying Big Head (10:47).
*V1 for Maki Itoh.

Maki Itoh is now the first champion to successfully defend the International Princess Title! She was able to kick out of Nightshade’s Neck Hanging Bomb. Nightshade went high risk with a Diving Senton but Itoh rolled out of the way. She then removed the ribbon from her pigtails before trading strikes with Nightshade. Itoh got the upper hand by using Headbutts and a DDT. She then hit the Flying Big Head from a long distance to get the win. Itoh told Nightshade she will never forget her because she took Itoh’s first defence virginity! They locked their little fingers together as thanks. Afterwards Itoh said she will be ready when Tokyo Joshi Pro returns to New York next April… She got New York mixed up with Tampa.

Operation Bring Back Hyper Misao took the next step today as Rika Tatsumi & Raku held a protest before their match with NEO Biishiki-gun! In scenes mirroring a stunt pulled by Hyper Misao last year, Tatsumi launched the National Come Back Home Hyper Misao Federation! Tatsumi & Raku brought out signs and protest gear including the style of cloak that Hyper Misao used to wear. Misao didn’t care and she attacked Tatsumi with a cane before pinning Raku with the Vanitas. Sakisama challenged Tatsumi to a match on 23rd November.

Yuki Aino’s Camel Clutch style Full Nelson now has a name. It is the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire!

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2019”, 24/11/2019
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi & Chris Brookes
7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Yuki Iino

Yuki Iino won last weekend’s Gauntlet match to get the KO-D Openweight Title shot.

Jiro Kuroshio’s dad requested that Jiro and Konosuke Takeshita team together for Jiro’s final match in DDT. Takeshita agreed to it as long as Antonio Honda could be one of their opponents. Honda accepted the offer because he already has a tag team with Miyu Yamashita.

Honda was supposed to be in Match #3 but he pulled out to do the Kuroshio match. Danshoku Dieno takes his place as Super Sasadango Machine’s tag partner.

There is a problem with the Battle Royal. The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title was supposed to be defended in it for the sake of Souken’s Michiaki Nakano. However Dieno is now the champion and he is booked on the match afterwards. So what does Nakano have to fight for?

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “WHITE BREATH 2019”, 22/12/2019
