6. O-40 Title – 3 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) defeated Shuji Ishikawa and Keisuke Ishii when Sasaki submitted Ishii with La Mistica Crossover Face Lock (14:54).
*V2 for Daisuke Sasaki.

At the age of 40 years old Daisuke Sasaki is having a highlight year of his career. He toured North America, competed at this year’s Best Of The Super Jr. tournament and will be teaming with DOUKI at Sumo Hall in a few months time. But maybe most important of all, Sasaki is taking the O-40 Title to new heights and actually got a title defence to be the main event of his annual “CHARISMANIA” show. His challengers in the 3 Way Match are both very familiar with him either as friends or regular opponents in the past. There were spots when Sasaki would team up with Shuji Ishikawa or Keisuke Ishii to beat up on the other but the match broke down into a free for all. Ishikawa came close to using the Splash Mountain on Sasaki but he rolled out of it and Ishii came in to hit the Kneel Kick. Sasaki then knocked Ishii into the referee so he could Low Blow him without it being seen. The plan worked and Sasaki went on to submit Ishii with La Mistica Crossover Face Lock for the win.

Sasaki was likely in a good mood over the result which would explain why he threw compliments at Ishii after the match. He is surprised that Ishii can still do the crazy moves he used to do in his 20s and 30s and he told Ishii to keep doing them until he reaches his 60s. Sasaki then talked to Ishikawa about them forming the original DAMNATION 10 years ago. The memories made Ishikawa want to sing but Sasaki stopped him so he could change the subject to Shinjuku FACE’s upcoming closure. Sasaki worries with the venue going away there might not be a place left for him to do crazy things. However he will still hang around Kabukicho until he his 105 years old and there will probably be a new Shinjuku FACE established by then. As for the next “CHARISMANIA” show, Sasaki is considering the Nippon Budokan or the Tokyo Dome but he hasn’t made a decision yet.

Hideki Okatani also earned a successful title defence for his DDT Extreme Title match but only just. Sasaki invited Yuko Miyamoto to challenge Okatani for the belt so Okatani decided they would have a Barbed Wire Board Crash match. The reason is because the last time they fought each other in 2023, Miyamoto put Okatani through a table. With revenge on his mind Okatani tried to put Miyamoto through the board. Miyamoto gave him a Power Bomb onto it but it was lying flat on the ring canvas at the time so couldn’t break. The board was then balanced over some chairs and Okatani tried to Dropkick Miyamoto onto it but he backflipped over the board and cleared it instead. With things at a stalemate, both men wrapped strands of barbed wire around their head and Headbutted each other. They then fought up to the aisle where the board was placed below them and they both knocked each other down, crashing through it. The match was ruled a draw which counts as a successful defence for Okatani. He still didn’t beat Miyamoto though. He said three years ago Miyamoto put him through the table and today Okatani defended the Extreme Title against him. So in six years time they will have another rematch so Okatani can finally beat Miyamoto!

Before Okatani could leave the ring, Yuki Ishida charged in screaming about how much he wants to change himself. He’s going to change by challenging for the Extreme Title! Okatani kicked Ishida down and told him he hasn’t changed anything about himself. He also doesn’t have anything to lose. Ishida said he isn’t doing to half-heartedly so to prove it he will put his hair on the line! Okatani remembered Ishida is a former sumo wrestler which means his hair does actually have some value. He accepted the challenge but only to make the match Title Vs Hair. Okatani won’t put his own hair on the line because the Extreme Title by itself is worth about the same as Ishida’s hair.

Ilusion found out the hard way that when you grab hold of Gabai Ji-chan’s walking cane it transfers his age over to you. Ilusion held onto it and became too decrepit to defend himself. Ji-chan then kicked the cane so it flicked in between Ilusion’s legs to make him crotch himself. He couldn’t kick out of the Inside Cradle after that. Ayato Yoshida did not fall for the same fate because he simply kicked Ji-chan’s cane away for heel heat at the start of the match despite being his tag partner. The cane was also used to block Minoru Fujita’s Swanton Bomb.

The real Brahman Brothers were not available to be at the show so a fake band of them appeared instead. The Bramhmans that looked sort of like Yuki Ueno, Yuki Iino & Yuki Ishida caused the same kind of havoc as the originals. They tortured their opponents until Takayuki Ueki pulled out his pistol and demanded to know if they got permission to use the gimmick. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi then tried using the power of his singing to change them back to normal. The Fake Brahmans fought back and targeted Takeshi Masada until all of a sudden Mataro appeared dressed as Frieza! One by one he attacked his opponents but also took out his allies by accident. More disgusting looking Brahman spots happened and once Yukinoru Matsui got pulled into them, he called off the match and declared it a No Contest.

MJ Paul met his match and suffered an upset defeat at the hands of Ryunosuke Nagai. Paul thought he had things under control and turned his back to climb the ropes for the Reverse Splash. He never expected Nagai would get up and give him a Power Bomb from the corner. Paul tried fighting back and kicked out of one Spear but Nagai finished him off with a second.

The opening match was held under Lucha Libre rules. Yasu Urano & Sangre Azteca Jr. took it upon themselves to be the rudos by trying to rip off the bags masks of Yunicaras Jr. and also Sumicaras. They got the win when Azteca lifted Yunicaras up for the Atlantida submission hold. He did the move running around the ring while Urano made Naohiro Katsumi give up to a Side Headlock.

7. DDT Extreme Title – Hardcore I Quit Match: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Junta Miyawaki

A Hardcore I Quit Match is the stipulation chosen by Hideki Okatani for the DDT Extreme Title bout. He chose the rule because he wants to make Junta Miyawaki quit right in front of him. Making the opponent say “I quit” or something similar like “I surrender” will end the match. If a situation occurs where the wrestler becomes too injured to speak, the referee is allowed to end the match by TKO.

3. Special Tag Match: Minoru Fujita & Ilusion Vs Ayato Ishida & Gabai Ji-chan
4. O-40 Title – 3 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa Vs Keisuke Ishii

As if having the illustrious O-40 Title being defended on the show isn’t enough, we’re getting a major 6-Man Tag Match with super important stakes being applied to it. Mataro is the luckless member of DDT’s video team that constantly gets dragged into a DAMNATION T.A match whenever Daisuke Sasaki gets to put together a show. Mataro ended up having to wrestle in some of these matches and then retire from wrestling due to losing a stipulation. Now he is getting the opportunity to cancel that retirement because if his team can beat the Fake Brahman Brothers (think of all the DDT wrestlers named Yuki and you can guess who they are) he gets to return to wrestling again!

SUPER JAPAN “BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING”, 06/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Unpaid Rumble RETURNS!: X Vs X
2. Special Single Match: MBM Vs Miles Karu
3. Thanomsak Toba Vs Mac Matsushita
4. Special Tag Match: Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Saito Vs Gym Trainer Kotoka & Marika Kobashi
5. Special Single Match: Ken Ohka Vs Hayabusa
6. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs CIMA

I haven’t been paying attention to Up Town but Kuroshio TOKYO Japan has been quietly building up a neat little roster for himself over there. When he launched the promotion he said he wanted it to be like a small ramen shop that attracts a long line and that just sounds like a lovely place to carve out for himself in the wrestling world. Saito is one of the new wrestlers to debut from Up Town and she is making her Super Japan debut here. Despite having less than a year of experience she is actually pretty active thanks to working on Ice Ribbon and WAVE shows in between Up Town events.

The match between Thanomsak Toba and Mac Matsuhita will be held under the rounds system with five rounds lasting three minutes each being the plan.

Some international action on the undercard with MBM from Belgium taking on Miles Karu from Malaysia.

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.

DDT “CHARISMANIA II” Results

June 18, 2025

DDT “CHARISMANIA II”, 18/06/2025
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. ~20 Years Of Promise~: Yasu Urano defeated Naohiro Katsumi by Referee Stoppage (5:26).
2. LUCHA LIBRE WORLD WIDE: Ilusion & Sangre Azteca Jr. defeated El Pantera Jr. & Sumicaras when Ilusion pinned Sumicaras with a School Boy (11:14).
3. Brahman Brothers Vs Dirty Cops: Brahman Shu, Brahman Kei & Brahman Ueno defeated Takayuki Ueki, Akito & Mataro when Shu, Kei & Ueno pinned Mataro after a Dessert Attack (12:49).
4. BIG BOYS BURGER: MJ Paul & Minoru Fujita defeated So Daimonji & Ryoma Tsukamoto when Paul pinned Tsukamoto with the Reverse Splash (14:01).
5. Hardcore Match: Isami Kodaka defeated Hideki Okatani with the Isamiashi Zan (12:21).
6. GREATEST WRESTLING MATCH EVER: Dick Togo defeated Daisuke Sasaki with a Knuckle Part (23:33).

Last November Daisuke Sasaki held the first “CHARISMANIA” and fought Dick Togo in a tag team main event. Sasaki won the match but Togo was not involved in the fall so Sasaki challenged him to a singles match. Togo promised to do it once he turned 60 years old but Sasaki convinced him to do it a lot sooner. At the time Sasaki wanted the match to happen in November for his 40th birthday but even that turned out to be too long a wait. “CHARISMANIA II” was booked for June and the match needed to happen there. After receiving bouquets from members of the rock band HEAD PHONES PRESIDENT, Sasaki and Togo battled it out for almost 25 minutes. There was a little bit of everything involved ending with Togo getting the upper hand. He escaped from La Mistica Crossface Lock, gave Sasaki the Pedigree and followed up with the Diving Senton. Sasaki kicked out of it and got back to his feet but was pretty much a dead man standing. Togo knocked him down with a Knuckle Punch and pinned him clean for the three count.

Sasaki said after the match it wasn’t supposed to be like this but everyone could see he was completely defeated by his master. He asked Togo to give him another match in five years time and then he’ll be able to finally surpass him. Togo said that is too early so he will give him ten. He’ll be older then but so will Sasaki. Togo also promised he will never stop evolving. Sasaki needs to remember that. When he left Sasaki then revealed he was going to announce his 20th Anniversary show happening at Korakuen Hall on 2nd October is he had won today. He announced it anyway. The show will also feature a live concert by HEAD PHONES PRESIDENT. He promised there will be a lot of big names involved. He gave out hints like X, Y, Z, Alpha, Beta, Omega and so on.

Hideki Okatani’s return to hardcore wrestling saw him face Isami Kodaka in a car crash of a match featuring chairs, ladders, trash cans and tables. Kodaka laid a ladder on top of Okatani and did the Diving Double Knee Drop with chairs onto it. He then gave Okatani a Brainbuster onto an open chair. Okatani kicked out of the pin but was down and out after taking the Isamiashi Zan. Kodaka said it was a Hardcore Match the likes of which he hadn’t experienced before. He came out of the match with blood flowing from his chin so he’ll have to get revenge on Okatani for that somewhere down the line. Okatani said he had so much fun doing this kind of match again despite losing. If Kodaka is offering him a rematch then he will take it just to taste his blood again!

So Daimonji showed some power by being able to carry MJ Paul & Minoru Fujita at the same time. Those two had to isolate Ryoma Tsukamoto in order to win the match.

A new member of The Brahman Brothers showed up, looking kind of familiar. Nobody could guess how dangerous Brahman Ueno could be so Mataro stepped up to him. He was quickly overpowered so needed the cops Takayuki Ueki & Akito to come save him. Mataro retreated only to return later dressed as a Dirty Cop! He injected himself with a syringe to the head and had the power to fight off everyone who stood in his way, freind or foe. He then stuck a piece of tuna to his head using wasabi and Ueki tried to force Ueno to eat it. When that didn’t work Mataro made Ueki & Akito form something like a Hell Gate in the corner. But The Brahmans blinded him with powder and threw him into the Hell Gate instead of Ueno. Mataro fainted after that an all three opponents pinned him to win.

Ilusion couldn’t tell who Sumicaras was under the plastic bag mask and had to ask him if he was Japanese? Sumicaras told him he doesn’t know in response. Their tag match ended when Sangre Azteca Jr. unmasked Pantera Jr. and Ilusion unmasked Sumicaras, revealing it was Kazuma Sumi all along. Azteca then gave Sumi a Low Blow and Ilusion rolled him up with a School Boy to get the win. The then ripped up the Sumicaras mask/bag to celebrate their victory.

The opening match was called off early when Naohiro Katsumi injured himself. He hit Yasu Urano with a Forearm Strike with his right arm and then grabbed his wrist in pain. Tomomitsu Matsunaga was the ref and he quickly called for the bell after checking on Katsumi, rewarding Urano with a TKO win.

He & Jo will be challenging Hyakusho Ikki for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. The champs apparently have Ayumu Honda joining their side but he is not booked for this show.

Tyson Maeguchi is living up to his promise of becoming “Ultimate” whenever he will fight with his gloves on. Why else would he be teaming with Thanomsak Toba again?

DDT “KING OF KINGS ~ARASHI’S JUNE SHOWDOWN~”, 29/06/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Akito & Kazuma Sumi Vs Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida
1. Jun Akiyama, Daichi Sato & Soma Takao Vs Toru Owashi, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada
2. 3 Way Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani Vs MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Shunma Katsumata & To-y
3. Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Kumadori Vs MJ Paul & Ilusion
4. International Special Tag Match: Mansoor & Mason Madden Vs Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata
5. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & Yuki Ueno Vs Shinya Aoki & Yuya Koroku
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) Vs Yukio Naya & Yuki Iino
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi

Four months of recovery time was enough time to keep Yuki Iino away from the ring. He was eager to come back and jumped at the opportunity to team with Yukio Naya so they could challenge Astronauts for the KO-D Tag Team Titles.

Poison Sawada JULIE will be at the show to unveil the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship belt. The second generation belt will continue the long, long, long lineage of the title. JULIE is currently the 1,471st champion as of this post.

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

1. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Moka Miyamoto
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Yuki Arai

Later this month Hyper Misao will be back from injury and just in time too because Kyoraku Kyomei now have their next Princess Tag Team Titles defence on the horizon. Last year when Miu Watanabe and Rika Tatsumi had their match for the Princess Of Princess Title, Tatsumi afterwards said Daydream were done teaming together because she believed Watanabe no longer needed her. Watanabe didn’t agree with that and the team was left in limbo for almost a year. Yesterday the two reunited and denied any claims that Daydream had disbanded. They are as united as ever and will prove it by going after the Princess Tag Titles again.

Will it be third time’s the charm for Moka Miyamoto. She has challenged for the International Princess Title twice and lost both times to Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai. She is giving it another go now that Suzume is the champion and she has a recent pinfall over her that qualifies her for a rightful title shot.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Pro Wrestling x New Japan Pro Wrestling One-Sided Match: Super Sasadango Machine Vs Toru Yano

If you’re wondering how a Super Sasadango Machine Vs Toru Yano match is going to last long enough to sustain a Korakuen Hall show by itself then look no further to the list of special guests who will be attending the event. DDT are sending over MAO, Antonio Honda, Kazuma Sumi, referee Yukinori Matsui and ring announcer Inoue Mic for various roles on the show. New Japan will be sending El Desperado, YOH, Daiki Nagai, referee Kenta Sato and ring announcer Makoto Abe to do the same on their side of the show.

Umbrellas are allowed to be used as weapons in Match #3 but only if they are officially licensed and approved beforehand.

5. GREATEST WRESTLING MATCH EVER: Dick Togo Vs Daisuke Sasaki

A big Hardcore Match awaits for Hideki Okatani. He is going to fight Isami Kodaka!

The pro wrestling retirement of Mataro is only going to eight months because he wants to get revenge on The Brahman Brothers! The DDT staff member was humiliated by The Brahmans at last year’s “CHARISMANIA” show so has enlisted the help of Takayuki Ueki & Akito to help him even the score. The move is necessary because there is now a third Brahman Brother on the loose! Brahman Ueno could be anybody…

The next couple of Tokyo Princess Cup qualifying matches are happening this weekend. Shino Suzuki, Uta Takami, HIMAWARI and Mifu Ashida are all currently two wins away from making it to the tournament proper. But one loss takes them out of the running.

DDT “CHARISMANIA II”, 18/06/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. LUCHA LIBRE WORLD WIDE: El Pantera Jr. & Sumicaras Vs Ilusion & Sangre Azteca Jr.
2. ~20 Years Of Promise~: Yasu Urano Vs Naohiro Katsumi
3. GREATEST WRESTLING MATCH EVER: Dick Togo Vs Daisuke Sasaki

A wrestling master facing one of his proteges many years later is always a nice story to have for a match. At the first “CHARISMANIA” show held last year Daisuke Sasaki said he wanted to challenge Dick Togo to a singles match to celebrate his 20th anniversary in wrestling. The two are living up to their promise and doing the match at “CHARISMANIA II”.

This year is also the 20th anniversary of Naohiro Katsumi’s debut in SUPER CREW. He hardly ever wrestles nowadays but reappeared at the first “CHARISMANIA” to face his classmate KUBITO. He returns for the second event this time to wrestle Yasu Urano one on one.

Two second generation luchadors have been booked for the show. Both El Pantera Jr. and Sangre Azteca Jr. are currently having a long stay in Japan to wrestle for Michinoku Pro. More masked wrestlers are involved with the addition of Ilusion and… Sumicaras is back again after his last Beer Garden appearance?

DDT “KING OF KINGS ~ARASHI’S JUNE SHOWDOWN~”, 29/06/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. International Special Tag Match: Mansoor & Mason Madden Vs Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata
2. Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Kumadori Vs MJ Paul & Ilusion
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi

For his third ever pro wrestling match Kumadori is going to team with HARASHIMA. That’s a good partner to rely on when you have to fight MJ Paul & Ilusion from DAMNATION T.A.

DDT “YOKOHAMA NIGHT SPLASH”, 05/07/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion (c) Vs Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada

The next team to challenge DAMNATION T.A for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles is SCHADENFREUDE International. It came about when Takeshi Masada wanted a title shot. Ilusion refused because Masada hadn’t won anything to deserve one but then Ilusion was reminded that he was pinned by Antonio Honda recently. Sasaki has been letting Ilusion speak on behalf of the heel group recently along with making decisions so Ilusion walked into giving SCHADENFREUDE the next title shot. Not sure if Hideki Okatani would have done the same or if he even cares.

DDT “ROCK IN RING 2025 ~PLAY THE STRIKES, SHOUT THE CHEERS”, 13/07/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Tag Match: Kosei Fujita & Takeshi Masada Vs To-y & Yuya Koroku

The winner of this year’s Best Of The Super Junior tournament is coming to DDT!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25”, 21/07/2025

DDT “CHARISMANIA” Results

November 6, 2024

DDT “CHARISMANIA”, 06/11/2024
Shinjuku FACE
500 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. KUBITO & Naohiro Katsumi 19th Anniversary Match: KUBITO defeated Naohiro Katsumi with the Crossface Lock (6:59).
2. Ram Kaichow, Endo Kaichow & Kodara Kaichow (w/ Mataro) defeated Brahman Shu, Brahman Masa & Brahman Keigo (w/ Brahman Kei) when Ram pinned Keigo with a School Boy (10:12).
3. Demus, Ilusion & Anarko Montaña defeated Kaito Ishida, Shunma Katsumata & Diego when Ilusion pinned Diego with the Swanton Bomb (10:53).
4. Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami & MJ Paul defeated Masashi Takeda & Daichi Sato when Paul pinned Sato with the Reverse Splash (15:27).
5. Special Single Match: Shigehiro Irie defeated KANON with the Beast Bomber (17:37).
6. The Greatest Wrestling Match Of CHARISMANIA: Daisuke Sasaki & Yuko Miyamoto defeated Dick Togo & Minoru Fujita when Sasaki submitted Fujita with La Mistica Crossface Lock (25:19).

Has the student has surpassed his master? Daisuke Sasaki is now entering his 20th year as a pro wrestler so to celebrate he organized “CHARISMANIA” and put himself in the main event with his mentor Dick Togo as well as two wrestlers he looks up to Yuko Miyamoto and Minoru Fujita. All four wrestlers are used to either wrestling dirty or fighting in violent death matches but they instead all fought clean for today’s special match. Togo used La Mistica Crossface Lock on Sasaki and Fujita followed up with the SAYONARA Tombstone. They wanted to finish him off with the Double Impact but Miyamoto cut them off. Sasaki gave Togo the Pedigree and then used his own La Mistica Crossface Lock to submit Fujita. Sasaki & Miyamoto received a prize from members of the rock band HEAD PHONES PRESIDENT for winning the main event.

Sasaki said the other three wrestlers will eternally be his idols. For his 20th anniversary he wants to finally surpass his master and challenged Togo to a singles match. Togo said he isn’t in the best condition right now and there is a clear difference between them. He asked Sasaki to wait five years so Togo can get into his best shape and also get to wrestle the match at 60! Sasaki will be turning 40 next November but don’t tell him he’s getting weaker as he gets older. He doesn’t have time to get old and promised he will defeat his master eventually! Sasaki also wants to run “CHARISMANIA” as an annual event until he’s held it 2000 times!

Naturally DAMNATION T.A were the featured players for most of the show. KANON also took the fair play route when he fought Shigehiro Irie. He tried fighting as hard as he could by giving Irie a Falcon Arrow as well as the Cobra Twist. Irie smashed him with an Elbow Strike, dropped him from the top rope with an Avalanche Back Flip and pinned him with the Beast Bomber. KANON gave Irie the middle finger instead of shaking his hand after the match.

It wasn’t all clean and fair fighting from the DAMNATION T.A wrestlers. Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami & MJ Paul got into a chair fight with Masashi Takeda & Daichi Sato during their tag match. To be fair, Takeda was just as responsible for making the match violent and also wanted to attack Fire Damnation with his pair of scissors. Sato also stepped up to Paul but was ultimately beaten by him with the Reverse Splash.

Ilusion was joined by Demus & Anarko Montaña to take on the babyface trio of Kaito Ishida, Shunma Katsumata & Diego. Demus brought a more grimy style that worked well with Ilusion & Montaña’s high flying. It ended with that team getting the win when Ilusion pinned Diego with the Swanton Bomb.

Match #2 was the Brahman Army taking on the Kaichow Army with a lot of wrestlers taking either gimmick. The Brahman Brothers got Masahiro Takanashi & Keigo Nakamura to act like them while Ram Kaichow convinced Tetsuya Endo & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi to copy her looks and behavior. Kaichow also brought along the now retired Mataro to be in her team’s corner. Mataro is the member of DDT’s video team who was kept getting put into DAMNATION T.A’s matches during this year’s Beer Garden shows until he was forced to retire from the bit. The Brahman Army attacked him with bats, poured buckets of water over him, dripped slime from their mouths onto him and also put him in the line of fire for the bowling ball suitcase spot. He at least got revenge by doing the same bowling ball spot to the Brahmans. He then got blinded when Kaichow missed her Ectoplasm powder throw and hit him with it by accident. Brahamn Shu threw the suitcase at Kaichow but she dodged it and Nakamura got hit instead. Kaichow took advantage and pinned Nakamura with a School Boy to win.

Two other wrestlers from the SUPER CREW class who debuted along with Sasaki got a spot in the opener. KUBITO beat Naohiro Katsumi in a match that celebrated the 19th anniversary of their debuts. It was also Katsumi’s first wrestling match in 12 years! The two made comments to each other during the match about how long it’s been since they last saw each other. Katsumi also gradually remembered his signature moves as the match went on.
