7. Mr. Bueno & MAO defeated Chris Brookes & Zack Sabre Jr. when Bueno pinned Brookes with a Diving Body Press from the human pyramid (?:??).

Let’s give it up for Chris Brookes making it to 18 years in the wrestling business! Let’s give it up to Baka Gaijin + Friends for making it to three years too. The third anniversary for this island of misfit toys was held away from the usual home of ARENA Shimokitazawa. They went for a bigger room this time by going to Shinjuku FACE but still held the show without a ring to keep it as the genuine article.

The main event was Brookes taking on someone who was kept a mystery to the fans until it was time for his entrance. It was Zack Sabre Jr.! The name of the bout was “A Match Of Hate?” and the two showed no mercy to each other by fighting amongst the crowd. Sabre’s close friend Antonio Honda had no choice but to do the rubber band spot to him while Brookes also dropped a child onto Sabre’s prone body afterwards. Sabre got some of his own licks in by Back Body Dropping Brookes onto the venue’s counter before bringing him back to the centre of the room to further pick Brookes apart. The two continued to go back and forth until Brookes gave Sabre the Praying Mantis Bomb and the bell rang to signal a time limit draw.

The action didn’t stop there because after the match MAO interrupted Brookes on the microphone and started arguing with him. Mr. Bueno ran down to bring peace but was left insulted when Sabre told him to fuck off. Everyone then started telling each other to fuck off until MAO & Bueno agreed to fight Brookes & Sabre, starting an impromptu bonus tag match! More chaotic brawling followed and screeched to a halt when Sabre tripped over the mat and hurt his knee. Honda got on the microphone to tell a Gongitsune joke only for MAO to stop him. MAO then summoned all of the other wrestlers on the show to lead a train attack at Sabre seated in the remains of the front row. That ended when Minoemon stopped himself in front of Sabre to tell him he was Minoru Suzuki in disguise! The two hugged and launched a counter attack on everyone, Brookes included. Their rampage was stopped with a fire extinguisher attack from Takagi Sanshirobo, which then resulted in Takayuki Ueki & Munetatsu Nakamura entering the room as cops. They suddenly held everyone at gunpoint threatening to shut the show down. MAO disarmed Nakamura but tragedy struck during the scramble to get the other gun from Ueki. Brookes succeeded in grabbing the gun but accidentally shot Sabre in the process! Brookes cradled the wounded Sabure in his arms until Sabre fainted. Out of desperation, Brookes charged the other team only to get knocked out by MAO’s Hurricane Kick. Bueno then threw Takeshi Masada on top of Brookes and ordered all of the other wrestlers to form a pyramid for him to climb. From the top of the pyramid, Bueno thanked the fans and jumped off to hit a Diving Body Press onto Masada and Brookes. He then pinned Brookes for the victory. After the match Brookes revived Sabre by pouring a can of beer into his mouth.

The stakes were high for the fated singles battle between Mr. Malo and Mr. Bueno. First, the BK-G Openweight Title held by Malo was on the line. Not only that but the loser of the match would have to unmask! Bueno had Malo’s cheating scouted yet respectfully kept allowing Malo to get back to his feet so they could fight on even terms. His good sportsmanship almost blew the match for him when Malo used the ref Daisuke Kiso to shield himself and then Low Blow his opponent after Kiso was thrown aside. But Bueno kicked out of a DDT and the Unprettier. He then got his momnentum back through a series of cradles that ended with him pinning Malo with a Hurricanrana to win the championship! Still, Bueno was too much of a good person to unmask his opponent afterwards, instead allowing Malo to take off the mask himself. Malo placed his poncho over his head and pulled the mask off. He then removed the poncho to reveal he is now wearing a white mask instead of his black on. Bueno couldn’t believe what he saw until he found the words to tell everyone what he was looking at… “My brother? I thought you died. I’m so happy!” The two brothers, now united, hugged to the applause of everyone in the room.

The Great Baka Mecha Wars couldn’t wait for all of the participants to be involved before it began. Mecha MAO and Takagi Sanshirobo immediately went to fight each other but soon the third fighter appeared. It was Minoemon, who as mentioned above was Minoru Suzuki disguised as the anime character Doraemon. He sat around with a bag of groceries, drinking beer and eating dorayaki until the other two robots attacked him. Minoemon and Sanshirobo brawled in the crowd while Mecha MAO stacked up some plastic cases and set out a table on top of them in the middle of the room. Mecha MAO and Sanshirobo then formed their own Megazord combination but it was all ruined when Minoemon poured water over the both of them. Mecha MAO short circuited around the room while Minoemon gave Sanshirobo the Gotch-Style Piledriver through the table and plastic cases to win the Mecha War.

The Brahman Brothers made a mess of their own with their match against Ueki’s Magic Kingdom. Things were made even worse when Karate Brahman decided to wipe natto all over his head. Dark King Ueki, Munek & Princess Ram all getting blinded with powder after that counts as a mercy killing in my book. I guess the damsel in distress who was kidnapped by the kingdom before the match was rescued as a result but it was anything but happy ever after.

Three members of the Daisetz band teamed up with one of their adoring fans in an 8-Man Tag Match. Chie Koishikawa was running around waving lightsticks for Antonio Honda, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Hagane Shinno during their entrance. Facing them were the international foursome of Baliyan Akki from India, Shivam & Jonathan Johnson from Thailand and Sayaka from Japan. The two sides ended up getting into a Bionic Elbow duel. Everything then broke down until the Egg Tart team of Shinno & Koishikawa double cradled Sayaka for the pinfall.

The show opened with Shunma Katsumata announcing a Baka Battle Royal full of surprise entrants. Fuminori Abe and HARASHIMA started things off then were quickly joined by Shota and K4PY. Then Kota Sekifuda appeared carrying a large snake! He chased the wrestlers into the crowd where Abe picked up a child to hold up near the snake. HARASHIMA forced Abe to apologise while Sekifuda continued scaring everyone with his pet, even making Yukinori Matsui tap out even though he wasn’t part of the match. HARASHIMA finally put a stop to things by putting Sekifuda in a Cobra Twist while the snake was twisting itself around Sekifuda. He gave up and was the first elimination from the match. Shota was the next one gone when he and Takeshi Masada fought over a Backslide Pin. Abe kicked Masada in the stomach, unintentionally helping him roll Shota over for the pinfall. Suddenly danger happened when Dr. Cube entered the Battel along with two Kaiju from his posse: Erebus & Eargernon II. Together they ran wild on the other wrestlers and eliminated Abe, Masada and K4PY all at once. HARASHIMA showed shades of HERO! in trying to fight Dr Cube’s Posse off but he too also fell to them. It was all up to Shin Suzuki to save the day as the final entrant. He grabbed Dr. Cube’s helmet and twisted it off, removing his grisly face beneath and knocking him out with a neck snap in the process. He then pinned Erebus with the Takatonic to fully eliminate the Posse, making him the last man standing.

DDT In NJPW And GLEAT This Week

October 9, 2025

1e. FINAL MUCHA: Taiji Ishimori defeated Gedo with the Bloody Cross (7:11).

Okay, I’m used to writing about weird matches like this one. I should be able to figure this out. Man, New Japan has gotten weird lately…

After putting together a successful show last November where he took part in every single match on the card, Taiji Ishimori learned he had to go take on an even greater challenge put together by a mysterious AI that is out to get him for reasons I do not want to spend time learning about. He was being forced to take part in a 120 minute long Iron Man Rumble with four separate blocks of wrestlers to fight through. Ishimori’s goal was to make it through the gauntlet with more wins than losses. His reward for doing so would be a special singles match against a wrestler that he respects. I’ll get to the point here because it’s not DDT related, his final opponent was Gedo and he beat him.

Along the way, a few DDT wrestlers were among the random cast of wrestlers Ishimori had to fight and interact with. The first main path was the SECRET BLOCK made up of wrestlers who have appeared in commercials for the show sponsor in the past. That just so happens to include Jun Akiyama as the block’s final entrant. He didn’t understand what was going on and he was also immediately attacked by Dump Matsumoto. Ishimori was allowed to have reserve wrestlers temporarily take his place but The Brahman Brothers did a bad job in that role, piling up losses on his behalf. However they were able to knock Akiyama out of the ring to score a point before Ishimori moved on to the next block.

The second block was built around the Tohoku wrestling scene which meant Ishimori had to deal with wrestlers from Michinoku Pro as well as other wrestlers from the area. At this point Ishimori was also reminded of The Sailor Boys which caused him great mental harm. Things became a lot more calm when Ishimori and the Tohoku wrestlers all meditated inside the ring but MAO then entered the match to cause some chaos, particularly with TAKA Michinoku (who is from Chiba and didn’t appreciate being lumped in with the country bumpkins). When the block’s time expired, MAO and YOH had not been through any eliminations so they were allowed to advance to the next block alongside Ishimori.

Things became a lot more muscular next with the MUSCLE BLOCK. None of the new entries were from DDT but MAO was still there and with YOH’s help he ran over SHO at ringside with the Dramatic Dream bike! He also helped out Ishimori by eliminated Drilla Moloney before the time expired. The two posed their bodies like squares to celebrate and since MAO survived elimination again, he got to accompany Ishimori once more this time into the final block.

It was the DRAGON BLOCK where at first the wrestlers coming out were all from Dragon Gate. MAO’s luck ran out when Shun Skywalker eliminated him from the match. The block then switched things around when Ryuji Ito showed up (because he is the “Death Match Dragon”) followed by Tatsumi Fujinami! The last dragon to enter was the most important one. People expected it to be Ultimo Dragon but it was even better than him. It was Hiratimo Dragon! He was immediately beaten up by Ishimori and Dragon Dia. Hiratimo distracted the referee by telling him Danshoku Dieno was behind him, then he tried to frame Ishimori for pulling off his mask. The plan didn’t work, Ishimori threw the mask away and then he threw Hiratimo out of the ring. Backstage Hiratimo said it was a close call but his identity wasn’t revealed. All he has to say to Ishimori is that he’s gotten stronger.

GLEAT “VER.EX ~GLEAT VS KYOTEKI~”, 09/10/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
682 Fans

3. G PRO WRESTLING ~ GLEAT Vs X – Go Miyake’s Return Match: Yukio Naya defeated Go Miyake with a Choke Slam (2:41).
5. G PRO WRESTLING ~ GLEAT Vs DDT: Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani defeated Takehiro Yamamura & Junjie when Sasaki submitted Junjie with the Crossface Lock (11:51).
6. G PRO WRESTLING ~ GLEAT Vs Shinya Aoki: Shinya Aoki defeated T-Hawk with the Aoki Clutch (8:41).

Now let’s move on to a place that has only slightly less nonsensical ideas than Ishimori. GLEAT came to Korakuen Hall a few days later putting together a show themed around the promotion taking on strong opponents from around the wrestling scene. DDT provided a few wrestlers on the “Strong Opponent” front. Things behind the scenes seem to be a little unstable over there but that has nothing to do with the DDT stuff so let’s just focus on that.

Shinya Aoki has previously fought in GLEAT under their UWF Rules banner of matches and continues to hover near the company under his own volition. He got to do a pro wrestling match here for the first time because he was intrigued by the clash of styles he would have with T-Hawk. Aoki took the nasty Chops his opponent has a habit of throwing and ended up catching him in the Aoki Clutch to get the three count out of nowhere. He said the match was so much fun because they clicked perfectly together.

DDT sent over Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani for a tag match. The GLEAT team was made up of Takehiro Yamamura & Junjie who were previously together as part of a recent unit called G-RIZE. Sasaki & Okatani did not come alone though. Ilusion was there at ringside to interfere whenever it was most convenient for his buddies. The GLEAT team got rid of the nuisance by throwing him out of the ring but DAMNATION T.A kept on pushing forward with their attack until they got their victory. The result left Yamamura & Junjie wanting revenge.

There was also a surprise appearance by Yukio Naya as the opponent for Go Miyake. The GLEAT rookie made his debut last year but suffered a kneecap injury not even two months after his debut. After being gone for a year and a half his return to the ring was going to be against El Lindaman but Lindaman declined to take part. Instead he chose Miyake’s opponent and it turned out to be Naya. Given the low level of experience Miyake has at this point, it only took less than three minutes for Naya to beat him. Afterward Naya said he heard about how hard Miyake was working to reach his comeback and motivated him to do his best.

5. Daisuke Sasaki 20th Anniversary Match: Daisuke Sasaki & El Desperado defeated Shuji Ishikawa & Antonio Honda when Sasaki submitted Honda with the Crossover Face Lock (23:10).

Twenty years of Daisuke Sasaki was celebrated inside Korakuen Hall today for the latest edition of “CHARISMANIA”. There were not only wrestling matches featuring wrestlers closely connected to Sasaki but live music was performed by several bands too. HEAD PHONES PRESIDENT sponsored the entire show, VANISHING played Sasaki’s entrance music as he walked down to the ring and Sasaki’s own band CHANNEL D opened up the show with a song.

For the main event Sasaki teamed up with a previous big show opponent El Desperado from New Japan to take on two wrestlers who have been close to Sasaki for a lot of his career, Shuji Ishikawa & Antonio Honda. A match as important as this made Honda bring out the Tenzan Tombstone Driver to use on Sasaki while Ishikwa gave Desperado the Fire Thunder Driver. The opposing team also gave Sasaki the Double Impact/Doomsday Device but Desperado came back to give Honda the Pinche Loco. And even though it was Sasaki’s day to be the hero, he still cheated by giving Honda a Low Blow when the ref wasn’t looking so he can easily make Honda give up to La Mistica Crossover Face Lock.

The members of HEAD PHONES PRESIDENT congratulated Sasaki after the match and gave him a commemorative gift. He told the fans today was CHANNEL D’s first performance and their next goal is to perform at Budokan Hall. He also gave a shoutout to the injured Masahiro Takanashi, telling him to live his own life while Sasaki continues living in the ring because they will meet again some day. He then ended the show with a rare show of thanks toward the audience followed by a joke that today’s lineup will be back in twenty years time for Sasaki’s 40th Anniversary.

Sasaki is one of the many wrestlers who was trained by Dick Togo over the years so not only did he book Togo for the show, he booked a bunch of his other protégés too! Yasu Urano, KUBITO, Diego & Naohiro Katsumi have all had their lives touched by Togo and with their mentor taking the lead the TOGO FAMILY fought a team of five DDT wrestlers. Togo had moments to fight with HARASHIMA before Akito and KUBITO took over. Togo also exchanged attacks with Kazusada Higuchi and give To-y the Pedigree on top of Yuki Ueno’s back. Togo’s last big move was to cut off HARASHIMA before doing a running dive onto Higuchi from the ring apron. However Yuki Ueno survived a Cross-Arm Power Bomb from Yasu Urano to hit back with a Dropkick and then pin him with the Best Moonsault Ever.

The rest of DAMNATION T.A were involved in matches on the undercard. Hideki Okatani’s birthday isn’t happening for another month but Sasaki got him a birthday present anyway. It was a Hardcore Match against Jun Kasai! They fought each other using computer keyboards, chairs, a guitar and even a birdcage as weapons. Kasai put Okatani through a table at ringside by jumping from the top rope onto him. As Kasai was getting the upper hand, he told Okatani out loud that his son Hinata Kasai is grateful for all of his help. Okatani wouldn’t be beaten with the Pearl Harbor Splash even after he got skewers planted into his head and he got pushed off a ladder. He also kicked out of the Vertical Drop Tiger Driver so Kasai had to pull out the Cross-Arm Stimulation to finally put him away. He wanted to shake Okatani’s hand after the match but Okatani refused and gave him the middle finger instead. Despite his behavior, Okatani said backstage that it’s been a while since a Hardcore match got him feeling this excited. Meanwhile Kasai said that since DDT is currently taking care of his son, he would like if it they start taking care of him too!

A “Memorial Cup” for Sasaki was up for grabs in the Tag Gauntlet match that ended up turning into a free for all because some of the teams decided to enter early. Danshoku Dieno spent almost the entire match crouching over the top turnbuckle in the Hell Gate position, even after his team was eliminated when Sumicaras was “unmasked” and thrown out of the ring. When Kazuki Hirata & Soma Takao were eliminated, the chaos then began thanks to The Brahman Brothers joining the match. They were accompanied by the long suffering staff member Mataro who was now Mataro Brahman! Mataro took a beating but that just gave The Brahmans the opening to eliminate Toru Owashi & Naomi Yoshimura. Just when things couldn’t get worse, the SCHADENFREUDE International team entered the match with Chris Brookes, Takeshi Masada & Bunbun also dressed up like The Brahmans and doing their spots! The Apex tried to clean things up but were overwhelmed by the ring full of Brahmans. Yukio Naya was shoved face first into Dieno’s Hell Gate, the Brahmans force fed Dieno green slime and by the end of the spot the slime started coming out of Naya’s mouth! Naya got revenge by knocking everyone out of the ring to eliminate both The Brahmans and SCHADENFREUDE. Mataro tried to distract Naya by placing a piece of sashimi onto his head. Naya took a bite out of it and fainted but Yuki Iino then chopped Mataro out of the ring. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie were the last team to enter and used their teamwork to eliminated The Apex and then Yasutaka Oosera & Ilusion back to back to become the last team standing. Their prize for winning was a free beer voucher each. Irie isn’t much of a beer drinker so he gave his voucher to Ishii.

MJ Paul got some shine in the opening match along with part-time DAMNATION T.A member Minoru Fujita as well as a sort of ally Hiroshi Yamato. Fujita was used by Choun Shiryu to vault himself onto everyone outside the ring. Masashi Takeda used his skills to Northern Lights Suplex Fujita & Yamato at the same time. Yuko Miyamoto tried to finish off Fujita but his Tombstone attempt was reversed into the Sayonara version by Fujita. The DAMNATION-ish team ended up focusing on Shiryu which paid off with Paul using the Reverse Splash to pin him.

Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

2. Special Single Match: Aero Boy defeated Ryoma Tsukamoto with the Aero Bomb (7:47).

7a. Falls Count Anywhere 6-Man Tag Match: Brahman Yuji, Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei defeated Hikaru Sato, Fuminori Abe & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa when Yuji submitted Sawa with the Arm Lock (18:23).

Partway through his 30th Anniversary celebrations, Sanshiro Takagi decided to scrap his short lived MatchMake & Agent Pro Wrestling brand in order to create something that can break away from the current restraints of modern wrestling. In its place he looked way back into DDT’s past. When the promotion was first formed in 1997, one of the names suggested for it was Super Japan Pro Wrestling. Now 30 years later Takagi decided to make Super Japan a reality! Not only that but he quickly targeted Yuji Nagata to be the potential ace of the brand. His first idea for Nagata was to go team up with The Brahman Brothers and embrace their style of pro wrestling. Nagata declined at first but was eventually convinced to give it a go. So he showed up to today’s main event in complete Brahman cosplay. He got too into the gimmick he ended up getting himself counted out after just two minutes. Nagata bowed to the other wrestlrs in apology and the two teams agreed to restart the match under Falls Count Anywhere rules.

The Brahmans completely disregarded Nagata in the rematch, drenching him with buckets of water alongside the other team. Daiki Nagai was at ringside as Nagata’s second and he too got caught when The Brahmans dunked a bucket of black ink onto him. Hikaru Sato, Fuminori Abe & Munenori Sawa were then all gathered together for Nagata to pour a bucket of blue ink all over them. He then hit Sawa with a traffic sign and applied his trademark Arm Bar while spewing blue slime out of his mouth for the victory. After the match Takagi got the audience to give Nagata a round of applause. He liked seeing this version of him today but wants to see more of Nagata’s normal self in the future. So he invited someone to the show that he would like to see Nagata wrestle in the future. It was Shinya Aoki! He asked Nagata if he would like to have a singles match and Nagata agreed. It will happen at the second Super Japan show on 14th October.

The launch of Super Japan reunited MIKAMI with TAKA Michinoku. The two men knew each other back when MIKAMI was a trainee for Universal and then Michinoku Pro in the early 1990s. MIKAMI brought out a ladder and tried to do the Volcanic Bomb from it but missed. He then tried to repeatedly pin Michinoku with the School Boy but couldn’t win with it. Insead he was put away with the Michinoku Driver II. MIKAMI talked said he’s done a lot in the last 30 years and thinks it is good to have a treasure trove of interesting matches to look back on. He isn’t clear what the concept of this Super Japan launch is but he’d like to do all sort of things here. Michinoku pointed out they are both in their fifties so they should wrestle each other again when they are over sixty!

For his debut as a wrestler exclusive to Super Japan, Mac Matsushita wrestled in a T-shirt and shorts. It is something completely regular looking compared to his Maku Donaruto alter ego. Naruki Doi forcefully pulled the shirt off him during the match so he could light up his chest with slaps and chops.

A horrifying scene developed during Kuroshio TOKYO Japan’s entrance when Poison Sawada JULIE casted a snake magic spell that made Kuroshio vomit out blood when the match began! Kuroshio was almost counted out but he got back into the ring and used his jacket to deflect some of Sawada’s other spells. He then spat Red Mist at Sawada’s face but Sawada got him back with Green Mist. The two were blinded from the mist but Kuroshio found a microphone and asked if Sawada is him 30 years from now? He challenged him to a headbanging contest but it ended with both men collapsing to the canvas and getting counted out for a Double Knockout.

Rion Mizuki & Riara wanted to raise a toast to the debut of Super Japan but it was just a trick to attack Shota & Mio Shirai while their guards were down. Shirai later got mad at Riara when she stole her Hanging Figure 4 Neck Lock move to use against Shota. Shirai eventually got the win by pinning Riara. Later backstage Shota celebrated by making silly faces and pointing at his head over and over, expecting Shirai to recognize who he was pretending to be.

The next Super Japan show will happen at Shinjuku FACE on 14th October. This was not in Takagi’s plans because he intended the show to be a one and done. However the show today drew a decent turnout so he decided to keep it going for at least a second time. DJ Nira was the first person advertised for the event. Takagi also announced that he expects to start wrestling again at the end of this year. But first he wants to have an exhibition match with Munenori Sawa as his opponent. Sawa told Takagi it’s been a while since Hentai Dai Shacho were scolded for causing so much trouble in a wrestling match. He wants the match to go beyond an exhibition and make it one step too far so they can be scolded again!

9. Hardcore 6-Man Tag: Chris Brookes, MAO & Ryuichi Sekine defeated Dark King Ueki, Munek & Princess Ram when MAO pinned Munek with the Package Piledriver through a Table (?:??).

Hi, it’s me from the future again. Just like with the first “FUCKED UP FEST” I got the DVD and can finally write up the results of this show two months after it happened. The main event featured interference when Ueki’s Magic Kingdom summoned Megalodon Masuda to attack the other team. MAO called upon Tyrannosaurus Morozumi to rescue them but the dinosaur ended up attacking both teams. Shunma Katsumata then saved the day by attacking both monsters with a bundle of skewers, puncturing their costumes. His thanks for saving the day was Dark King Ueki breaking a plastic box over his head. Princess Ram Power Bombed Chris Brookes through a plastic box with the help from her teammates but Ryuichi Sekine broke the pin. A table was brought out and Ueki used the magic wand to cast a spell on MAO. However Brookes stopped Ueki and snapped the wand in half. A recovered MAO was then able to put Munek through a table with a Package Piledriver to win the match.

Takeshi Masada was about to beat Gabai Ji-chan with the Masada no Chikara KOBU Mukimuki but Antonio Honda yelled at him to take it easy on his opponent so the old man wouldn’t get injured. Masada did what Honda said and performed his finisher slow and gently. But that meant the move had no effect and Ji-chan quickly tried to Cradle Masada for a nearfall. He then went for a Hurricanrana but Masada blocked the move and countered it into a Crab Hold to make Ji-chan submit. Masada lost his temper and kept Ji-chan in the submission hold after the match until he calmed down and let go.

All members of the band Daisetz were present for the Triple Threat match involving the three wrestlers in their group. Antonio Honda went a little crazy using Gongitsune. After he hit Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with the move, he missed Hagane Shinno and accidentally hit one of the band members instead. The masked member got revenge by Dropkicking Honda and giving him a Kneeling Danshoku Driver (it wasn’t Danshoku Dieno under the mask). Shinno then did a Standing Moonsault on Honda and pinned him.

MAO and K4PY kept drinking beer during their match and would constantly strike each other in the stomach until one of them spat their beer out. MAO won that battle then used his Shikaku powers to withstand K4PY’s attacks. However K4PY eventually broke through MAO’s defences and got him to spit out his beer. MAO had to do a somersault dive from the stage to put L4PY in danger and then hit a Running Palm Strike to get the win.

During Match #5 Megalodon Masuda ended up having a wardrobe malfunction revealing that it was a human wearing a shark costume this whole time. Kota Ibushikoshi then disappeared only to run back into the room wearing a T-Rex outfit to launch a surprise attack on Ashikoki Saiko. He was stripped out of the costume too but he went on to win the match anyway.

The Munetatsu Nakamura versus Tatsuhiko Yoshino match broke out into song halfway through when Nakamura decided to go onto stage and sing for everyone. Yoshino tried to take the microphone from him but couldn’t. As the match went on, both of them sneezed so hard that the back of their trunks both fell down. Yoshino tried to strip Nakamura completely but Nakamura reversed the position and succeeded in pulling Yoshino’s trunks completely down instead. Yoshino kept trying to fight while hiding his shame and even used a Rolling Cradle for a nearfall but Nakamura reversed that to get the three count.

The Brahman Brothers brought along Karate Brahman to give them the numbers advantage against Mr. Malo & Mr. Bueno. To even the odds, Bueno said he had a friend to help him out. He called over Kota Sekifuda but he isn’t the friend he was talking about. Sekifuda brought out a sack and pulled a living snake out of it! Karate Brahman decided to fight the snake and dared Sekifuda to place it in his trunks. He later had some kind of rotten paste accidentaly rubbed on his face by the other Brahmans, leading Bueno to roll him up for the win while trying to withstand the smell.

Bunbun took part in some interference for the opening match, slightly helping Chris Brookes to beat up Kota Sekifuda. However Sekifuda brought out a ladder and did a Frog Splash from the top of it. Unfortunately for him, Brookes blocked it with his knees and kept pressuring him with moves until he pinned him with the Praying Mantis Bomb. The two shared beers after the match.

Former DDT ring announcer Ken Kato worked the role for this show. He was fired from DDT in February 2024 and as far as I know had only worked a couple of wrestling related gigs since then.

Nao Kakuta will be at Yoshiko Hasegawa’s graduation show as a special guest commentator. Another special guest will be Teppei Arita, a Japanese comedian who has written several books about pro wrestling and also hosts his own Youtube series about current stories from around the industry. In fact Hasegawa was interviewed on a recent episode that was uploaded last week.

BASARA “BASARA 283 ~UTAGE~”, 08/07/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Daiki Shimomura Vs Takeru Inoue
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Gouma Ryu Vs Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga

5. Ryuichi Sekine, FUMA & Ayumu Honda Vs Masato Kamino, Lil’ Kraken & Fuminori Abe

Last month Ayumu Honda joined forces with Hyakusho Ikki even though he didn’t really want to. Blame Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi for that. We’ll see how much of a united force they can be in a few days time.

GANBARE☆PRO “WILD AT HEART 2025”, 19/07/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Moeka Haruhi & Yuna Manase Vs Makoto & Chika

4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Mizuki Watase & Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Toru Sugiura & Munetatsu Nakamura

High hopes are fueling Toru Sugiura & Munetatsu Nakamura’s challenge for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles. Nakamura would have gotten injured by Mizuki Watase last month if it wasn’t for Sugiura throwing in the towel. Watase gets needing to preserve yourself for the big title match but he and Shigehiro Irie want the challengers to not say die once the actual match takes place.

Bad tension is building up between YuuRI and Mio Shirai. Will it spill over into something worse when they have their singles match?

Chika is coming over from Pro Wrestling Evolution.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25”, 21/07/2025
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Andreza Giant Panda & Raku Vs Kyoko Inoue & Pom Harajuku
2. Special Tag Match: El Desperado & Maki Itoh Vs Chris Brookes & Emi Sakura
3. Special Single Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Billie Starkz
4. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Moka Miyamoto
5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Yuki Arai

What’s the most chaotic pair of opponents you can find for Chris Brookes & Emi Sakura? How about El Desperado & Maki Itoh! The two originally met in America while working the same GCW show and have been tweeting back and forth for a while about teaming up. Now looks like the perfect time to make it happen. Itoh wants Desperado to learn the Itoh Respect Army dance for their entrance. He didn’t expect that to be part of the deal.

TJPW say a health issue is preventing Max The Impaler from participating at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” so Pom Harajuku needs a new tag team partner. Luckily for her TJPW has decided to bring in Kyoko Inoue as the replacement! The joshi legend currently wrestles for Diana, a promotion that just so happened to join the UJPW recently so I wonder if that new connection helped put this deal together.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GARAFES DASH!! ~UENO KITEKITE DAI SAKUSEN~”, 26/07/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Miu Watanabe, Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami Vs Yuki Arai, Raku & Shino Suzuki

Yuki Arai will wrestle at a Garafes show for the first time.

BASARA “BASARA 285 ~CONTINUATION IS POWER~”, 03/08/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. GRACE PROJECT Sponsored Match: Toru Sugiura, Captain Grace, Shigehiro Irie & Daiki Shimomura Vs Tomoya Hirata, Mizuki Watase, Ultra Soki & HIROYA
2. Special Tag Match: Isami Kodaka & El Desperado Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino
3. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs X

A couple of weeks after Despy appears in TJPW he will then show up in BASARA to team with Isami Kodaka. The two of them were specifically put together for Aijin Tag to fight against.

The Grace Group bus company have their own independent wrestling promotion called GRACE PROJECT. They don’t really have their own roster, save for Captain Grace who is the man in charge of the whole thing. Instead their shows are filled with indie wrestlers from across Japan including those who compete in BASARA. So a lot of familiar faces are showing up in their offer match for the show.

SUPER JAPAN “SANSHIRO TAKAGI 30TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT ~SUPER JAPAN PRO WRESTLING HATAAGE-SEN”, 19/08/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Yasu Urano Vs Mikiya Sasaki
2. Special Single Match: TAKA Michinoku Vs MIKAMI
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Brahman Yuji, Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei Vs Fuminori Abe, Takuya Nomura & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa

Looks like Sanshiro Takagi and The Brahman Brothers are going to get their way. For one night Yuji Nagata is going to become Brahman Yuji! That’s bad news for Astronauts and Munenori Sawa because Nagata does look like he has a good bowling arm.

What can I write about a Yasu Urano Vs Mikiya Sasaki match? Nothing much.

Kuroshio TOKYO Japan will also be on the show.

5. Yuki Kamifuku, Mifu Ashida & Kira Summer Vs Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku
6. Mizuki, Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Suzume Vs Yuki Arai, Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Moka Miyamoto

It’s not exactly the go home show for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” because Yoshiko Hasegawa’s graduation and the Texas tour will both be happening between now and then. But this show is getting the champions versus challengers multi-woman tag match.

Speaking of Hasegawa’s graduation, her good buddy Riara is showing up to face her inside a Tokyo Joshi Pro ring.

The winners of Wakana Uehara versus Shino Suzuki and Haru Kazashiro versus Ivy Steele will qualify for the Tokyo Princess Cup.

Maki Itoh will be missing the show due to a scheduling conflict. It is not wrestling related, I believe she is appearing at a LinQ concert that day because a member of that group is graduating.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YOSHIKO HASEGAWA GRADUATION EVENT – NONFICTION”, 08/07/2025
Shinjuku FACE

So by the process of elimination, the two remaining Princess Cup qualifiers take place here. The winners of Moka Miyamoto versus Kaya Toribami and Pom Harajuku versus HIMAWARI take the final two spots.

Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: TAKA Michinoku Vs MIKAMI

Plans have changed and Sanshiro Takagi has decided to rebrand his 30th Anniversary spin-off brand. Gone is MatchMake & Agent Pro Wrestling and taking its place is Super Japan Pro Wrestling! Takagi wants to imagine what it would be like if the wrestling promotion he helped form in 1997 was named Super Japan instead of Dramatic Dream Team. Part of that vision is getting one of DDT’s other founders MIKAMI to take part in the debut show. He will face the similarly aged TAKA Michinoku in what might be Super Japan’s inaugural match.

Also announced for the show are Kuroshio TOKYO Japan, The Brahman Brothers, Fuminori Abe and Ippanjin Munenori Sawa. Takagi and The Brahmans all want Yuji Nagata to be on the show but he keeps turning them down.

M&A “SANSHIRO TAKAGI 30TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT ~MATCHMAKE & AGENT SUBTITLE TBD~” Results

June 25, 2025

M&A “SANSHIRO TAKAGI 30TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT ~MATCHMAKE & AGENT SUBTITLE TBD~”, 25/06/2025
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Single Match: Fuminori Abe defeated Shota with a Spinning Leg Lock Counter Cradle (7:38).
2. Special Tag Match: Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Momoka Hanazono defeated Ippanjin Munenori Sawa & Mio Shirai when Kuroshio pinned Shirai with a Forward Rolling Cradle (8:56).
3. Special Single Match: Momo Kohgo defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Nectar Peach (11:29).
4. Special Tag Match: Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei defeated Rika Tatsumi & Antonio Honda when Kei pinned Honda after the Gotai Fumanzoku (14:35).
5. Special Single Match: Suwama defeated Muscle Sakai with the Back Drop (13:22).
6. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata defeated Ken Ohka with the Back Drop Hold (12:23).

Just as quick as it started, MatchMake & Agent Pro Wrestling has already come to an end. Sanshiro Takagi kicked off the show with a big announcement regarding the future of this spin-off project that was made to celebrate his 30 years in the business. The announcement is today’s the final M&A show! He assured everyone this decision is not for any kind of troubling reason. Takagi is going to continue booking these kind of shows but he decided to give them a makeover. The 19th August show that was meant to be an M&A event is now the debut of Super Japan Pro Wrestling! The name was originally one of the options to call DDT when it launched way back in 1997. It was NOSAWA Rongai who suggested “Cho Nippon Pro Wrestling” because every wrestling promotion at the time was called ___ Japan Pro Wrestling. Takagi rejcted it, leading to Dramatic Dream Team being chosen instead. But since multiverses are all the rage nowadays, Takagi wants to imagine what it would be like if Super Japan was the name chosen over DDT.

The main event of what is now the last M&A show had Yuji Nagata from New Japan facing Ken Ohka from Ganbare☆Pro in what was a dream match for Ohka. He used Headbutts to fight against Nagata’s kicks and chops then used the Flame Spear for a nearfall. Nagata fought back with an Exploder Suplex, Middle Kicks and the Back Drop Hold to get the three count. After the match Ohka said he had watched Nagata on TV for years and here he is standing in front of him. But Ohka knew that he couldn’t win with admiration so he fought as hard as he could. He asked Nagata to give him encouragement so he can continue wrestling for another five years and become strong enough to some day beat him. Nagata praised Ohka for having soul and told him a truly strong person is someone who can get up on their own even when they lose. Ohka is already a strong person so Nagata told him to work harder to get even stronger. He then slapped Ohka across the face and promised him they can have a rematch in five years time.

Before the show could end, Takagi came back out to talk to Nagata. He told everyone that Nagata is going to be the ace of Super Japan! Not only that but there are some people in the back who would love to team up with him. Out came The Brahman Brothers! They asked Nagata to team up with them on 19th August to give everyone an exciting match. They even said they want to do it Blue Justice style while he can become Brahman Yuji! Nagata apologetically turned them down and left the ring. The Brahmans chased after him to reconsider while Takagi told the fans to please wait for an official decision in the future.

Muscle Sakai had a lot of thoughts on his mind going into today’s show. He was here to say goodbye to everyone because Suwama was about to destroy him. After coming off an historic one match show where he as Super Sasadango Machine defended the DDT Extreme Title against Toru Yano, he was now being booked to fight Suwama only because Takagi thinks they have similar looking faces. He has no ideas and is entering the match empty handed. But when he and Suwama fought their way up to the entrance stage, Sasadango suddenly appeared shouting like Takagi usually does! He attacked Suwama and even brought out the Dramatic Dream bike to crash it into him. Suddenly Suwama’s music started playing and Sakai reappeared wearing a homemade Suwama costume! The two Suwamas teamed up on “Sasadango” until the fake Suwama hit the real one with a Lariat by mistake. The real Suwama hit back with a Lariat and then gave Sakai the Back Drop to get the pin.

After the match Suwama unmasked “Sasadango” to show it was indeed Takagi underneath. Takagi said it was all Sakai’s idea so Suwama should get mad at him. Sakai was surprised to find out he survived the match and told Suwama he passed his test. He explained he’s been looking for a new master to learn from after being under Takagi’s tutelage for many years. Sakai is currently a freelancer so he asked Suwama if he could join Pro Wrestling Evolution as their third super heavyweight wrestler? Suwama said no and told Sakai that the Sasadango mask suits him better. Takagi asked Suwama to reconsider because this was the final MatchMake & Agent show and advised Sakai to write up a proper resume. Suwama agreed and ordered Sakai to get all of his documents in order, then he will consider it.

The Brahman Brothers crossed paths with somebody who may just be as crazy as they are. No, not Antonio Honda but Rika Tatsumi! The match quickly transformed into a massive water fight throughout the venue. Back in the ring The Brahmans did their bowling ball and suitcase spot with Tatsumi taking the brunt of the damage. But she got her own back by doing the same spot to them. Brahman Kei grabbed Honda so Brahman Shu could hit him with a traffic sign but Tatsumi blocked it by choking him. She then grabbed the sign but when she swung it at her opponent, Honda got hit instead. The Brahmans then got rid of Tatsumi and used the Gotai Fumanzoku to pin Honda.

Yoshiko Hasegawa’s retirement road reunited her with Momo Kohgo resulting in a rare Tokyo Joshi Pro Vs Stardom singles match. But the focus was more on the two’s history with each other going back to Actwres girl’Z. Hasegawa kept trying to put Kohgo in the Muffler Hold but in the end Kohgo pinned her with the Nectar Peach for the victory. She thanked Hasegawa for choosing her for one of her last remaining matches before retirement. She also thanked Takagi for putting the match together and Taro Okada for permitting it to happen. She then talked about her history with Yoppy up to when they went their seperate ways and how they would go eat ramen together on their way home. Yoppy joked about how they would always get told off in the dressing room for being clumsy and they would talk to each other about it on the train ride home. She thanked Stardom and TJPW for watching over her retirement road then told Kohgo they should go eat ramen together again.

The always long-lasting entrance of Kuroshio TOKYO Japan led to a split of opinion on the other team. Munenori Sawa enjoyed it and was having fun while Mio Shirai got sick of it to the point she got on the microphone to complain. She eventually convinced the sound team to cut the music so the match could start. Her grumpy attitude also made Momoka Hanazono upset. She started crying when Shirai stopped her from using her bubble toy as a weapon. Both Kuroshio and Sawa tried to step in but Shirai got angry at them too, causing the two men to also start crying. That caused all three of them to team up against Shirai until Hanazono accidentally hit Sawa with the bubble toy. The match continued normal from there and Hanazono used the bubble toy once more, hitting Shirai with it so Kuroshio could reverse her Rolling Cradle pin and steal the victory.

The opening match between Shota and Fuminori Abe had the two switch to a more classic style of wrestling in order to out-do one another. Abe got the upper hand and repositioned himself from a Roll Up to pin Shota with a German Suplex.

At the end of the show Takagi announced the very first match for Super Japan’s debut show on 19th August. He invited MIKAMI down to the ring and reminded fans he is one of DDT’s founding members. Takagi wants to rewrite history by putting MIKAMI in Super Japan’s first match and his opponent will be TAKA Michinoku! MIKAMI congratulated Takagi on finally launching Super Japan and said he himself has a deep bond with Michinoku because they are both turning 52 this year. He is going to go back to basics for this match and start again from scratch.
