Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX
344 Fans

2. The Leave Mask & Yuki Iino defeated Black Menso-re & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Mask pinned Menso-re with a Jackknife Pin (12:23).
3. Tetsuya Endo & Yukio Naya defeated Mohammed Yone & Kohei Kinoshita when Endo pinned Kinoshita with the Burning Star Press (14:46).
6. Akitoshi Saito LIMIT BREAK Last Match: Akitoshi Saito & Jun Akiyama defeated Satoshi Kojima & Yu Owada when Saito pinned Owada with the Sickle Death (15:56).

A couple of DDT wrestlers had more to do than just the Korakuen Hall show yesterday. Some of them popped over to NOAH afterward to wrestle on the latest “LIMIT BREAK” show. It was a special appearance for Jun Akiyama because he teamed with Akitoshi Saito for Saito’s final appearance in LIMIT BREAK on his road to retirement. Their opponents was another visitor Satoshi Kojima along with the NOAH rookie Yu Owada. The Sternness pair won the match when Akiyama gave Owada the Exploder Suplex and Saito pinned him with the Sickle Death. After the match Saito said he will never forget the first time he met Akiyama back in 2000 and he learned a lot of different wrestling styles from him. He tried to stay sharp in today’s match but couldn’t help but loosen up because he was with Akiyama again. Akiyama called Saito his best partner and the easiest wrestler to work with. Akiyama also gave Owada advice on showing more fire and emotion. He wants to see someone carry on the legacy that went from All Japan to NOAH.

Tetsuya Endo & Yukio Naya teamed up for a match against Mohammed Yone & Kohei Kinoshita. The pair was feeling in good condition despite already wrestling earlier in the day. Endo scored the win for the DDT team by pinning Kinoshita with the Burning Star Press. Endo told Kinoshita to tell a certain somebody in Seattle next month that he’s wishing him the best. Naya said in his backstage comment that he would like to have a singles match against Yone some day.

Maybe Yuki Iino can work his way into getting a sponsorship with THE LEAVE. He teamed with the company’s masked luchador The Leave Mask to defeat Black Menso-re & Tomomitsu Matsunaga. Iino asked Mask afterward if it would be ok if he can star in the company’s next commercial?

DDT At NOAH Limit Break Ex. Results

September 28, 2024

NOAH “THE LEAVE PRESENTS LIMIT BREAK EX.”, 28/09/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall
290 Fans

1. Hajime Ohara defeated Yuya Koroku with the Mui Bien (8:48).
3. Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino defeated Kai Fujimura & Kohei Kinoshita when Endo pinned Fujimura with the Torture Rack Bomb (17:33).
5. Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls: Go Shiozaki, Akitoshi Saito, Mohammed Yone & Atsushi Kotoge (2) defeated Jun Akiyama, Yukio Naya, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Harutoki (1).
5a. Harutoki pinned Go Shiozaki with El Momento de Muerte (23:26).
5b. Go Shiozaki pinned Harutoki with the Strong Arm Lariat (2:10).
5c. Akitoshi Saito pinned Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Sickle Death (9:28).

It’s been a while since I wrote about the “LIMIT BREAK” shows over at NOAH. The last one took place back in July and I skipped over it. The only DDT related matches on it were Jun Akiyama and Tomomitsu Matsunaga in the opening two bouts so there wasn’t much to write about. Today though was different because those two along with Yukio Naya were in a big main event against TEAM NOAH. The three of them along with Harutoki fought TEAM NOAH in a Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls match. The first two falls were both decided by Go Shiozaki and Harutoki. The visiting team unexpectedly won the first fall when Harutoki blocked Shiozaki’s Lariat with a High Kick and then used a Cross-Arm Falcon Arrow to get the pinfall. The second fall didn’t last long because Harutoki went for the quick win only to get cut down by Shiozaki’s Lariat for the three count. The final fall began with Atsushi Kotoge facing off against Naya before switching over to Akitoshi Saito against Akiyama. Matsunaga tagged in but got caught by the teamwork of Saito & Mohammed Yone. That led to Saito pinning Matsunaga with the Sickle Death to end the match. Later Saito said he would like to team up with Akiyama once last time before he retires.

BURNING fared better in their match against Kai Fujimura & Kohei Kinoshita. Late in the match Tetsuya Endo went after Fujimura with Swan Dive attacks and Yuki Iino took out Kinoshita with the Spear. Endo then caught Fujimura with the Tetsuya In The Sky before pinning him with the Torture Rack Bomb. Endo & Iino promised to keep on burning while the other team wants to have more matches against them.

Well, most of BURNING fared better. Yuya Koroku was in the opening match and lost to Hajime Ohara. He targeted Ohara’s left arm but his plan didn’t work out. Instead Ohara trapped him in the Muy Bien submission and made him tap out. Ohara would later become the newest member of TEAM NOAH at the end of the show.

DDT In NOAH Limit Break Results

March 21, 2024

NOAH “LIMIT BREAK EX.”, 20/03/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall
330 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Yu Owada defeated Rukiya with a Crab Hold (9:17).
3. Kazuyuki Fujita & Atsushi Kotoge defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Black Menso~re when Kotoge pinned Menso~re with the Killswitch (13:29).
4. Jun Akiyama & Akitoshi Saito Vs Shuji Ishikawa & Ren Ayabe ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).
5. Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino defeated Go Shiozaki & Genta Yubari when Endo pinned Yubari with the Burning Star Press (25:32).

(Note: I would have gotten this written up yesterday until I got an unexpected request from Maki Itoh that kept me busy.)

A criticism of CyberFight I often see and hear online is about the lack of interaction between NOAH and DDT. It is especially weird when the two promotions actively set up working relationships with other companies outside the CyberFight banner. Well we finally got to see it happen here. NOAH has a series of shows called “LIMIT BREAK” and yesterday’s event featured DDT wrestlers up and down the card. The main event had the current day version of BURNING step foot into a NOAH ring for what I think is the first time. Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino won the match but were impressed by their opponents. The chops from Go Shiozaki left Iino’s chest so swollen that Endo had to admit you don’t see that kind of damage done to somebody in DDT. He praised JTO wrestler Genta Yubari too and was surprised to find out he’s only 24. Iino was still excited over the match and wants to do more against Shiozaki. You can expect to see BURNING at a “LIMIT BREAK” show again soon.

Jun Akiyama was on the show representing DDT but his match was more of a throw back to his Sternness days with Akitoshi Saito. They went to a 20 minute draw against Shuji Ishikawa & Ren Ayabe. The time ran out just when Akiyama was ready to give Ayabe the Wrist-Clutch Exploder. Saito said he was glad to experience the ice cold and scary atmosphere with Akiyama again. Akiyama joked that’s not true because he is a warm hearted old man now. His message to Ayabe from the match is to always stand back up no matter how much of a beating you take. Ayabe promised to aim for Akiyama whenever they cross paths again.

When DDT’s involvement with the show was announced Kazusada Higuchi made it clear he wanted to fight Kazuyuki Fujita. They got to do it here but Black Menso~re would stick his nose in to do spots involving a bottle of liquid he likes to drink during matches. Atsushi Kotoge ended up beating Menso~re while Fujita and Higuchi were fighting each other outside the ring. Higuchi said Fujita is just as strong as he imagined and he will continue chasing after him. Fujita was more interested in stealing Menso~re’s drink for himself backstage.

NOAH’s rookie Yu Owada defeated DDT’s rookie Rukiya in the opening contest. Owada wasn’t pleased with the result because he wants to advance and beat a higer ranked opponent. Rukiya wants a rematch so he can fight Owada even harder and win next time.

DDT “YUTO AIJIMA RETIREMENT SHOW ~YUTO FINAL ROAD~” Results

December 8, 2021

DDT “YUTO AIJIMA RETIREMENT SHOW ~YUTO FINAL ROAD~”, 08/12/2021
Fukuoka Omuta City 2nd Civic Gymnasium
500 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Saki Akai & Toui Kojima defeated Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yuki “Sexy” Iino and Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Akai pinned Hirata with the Quetzalcoatl (12:05).
2. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated Akito & Yuya Koroku when Paul pinned Koroku with the Death Valley Bomb (10:26).
3. Special Tag Match: Kazushi Miyamoto & Yuji Hino defeated Naomi Yoshimura & Hideki Okatani when Hino pinned Okatani with the Fuckin’ BOMB (15:13).
4. Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno & MAO defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Chris Brookes & Yukio Naya when Takeshita pinned Naya with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (13:17).
5. Yuto Aijima Retirement Match ~Yuto FINAL ROAD~: Jun Akiyama, Akitoshi Saito, Muhammad Yone & HARASHIMA defeated Yuto Aijima, Sanshiro Takagi, Mitsuya Nagai & Tetsuya Endo when HARASHIMA pinned Aijima with the Somato (20:29).

Omuta’s own Yuto Aijima called time on his 26 year long career in pro wrestling under a DDT banner. As expected for his retirement match, Aijima was pinned and defeated in the middle of the ring. HARASHIMA was the one to claim victory by beating Aijima but the rest of his team helped set it up. Muhammad Yone hit a Strong Elbow, Akitoshi Saito hit the Sickle Death, Jun Akiyama threw him over with the Exploder Suplex and HARASHIMA finished him off with the Somato.

For the retirement ceremony, Aijima was given speeches from everyone who was in the match along with bouquets from friends and family. Aijima also received video messages from Diablo & Kurokage who were members of a unit in Kyushu he was a part of called Black Justice. He then got more video messages this time from Kyohei Wada, Kenta Kobashi, Genichiro Tenryu and Toshiaki Kawada! Aijima said his final words at the end of the ceremony. From tomorrow he will return to being a normal uncle named Shunsuke Aijima. He thanked DDT, Mitsuya Nagai and the wrestlers from NOAH for coming to Omuta to wrestle today. He said he will continue to work behind the scenes so wrestling can continue in his rural town.

In other matters, Naomi Yoshimura got in the ring with Yuji Hino again as part of the build up to the next KO-D Tag Team Titles match. Hino was teaming with Kazushi Miyamoto instead of Bodyguard but it was still a wall too high for Yoshimura to climb. The positive thing Yoshimura got out of this match is he thinks his Chops are starting to break through Hino when they weren’t before.

After looking into the recent rule changes in Japan, BASARA will allow their audience to cheer at their show tomorrow. I think this will be one of the first wrestling shows in Japan to get loud fans back but it is on a very small scale. BASARA have kept their attendance numbers private throughout the entire pandemic for a reason. It’s progress towards getting a good atmosphere back in Japanese wrestling shows but it won’t be a big crowd to begin with.
