DDT “CRIME PREVENTION TRAINING PRO WRESTLING”, 16/03/2025
Ota Ward Industrial Plaza (PiO) 4th Floor Convention Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Falls Count Anywhere Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & HARASHIMA defeated Danshoku Dieno & Keigo Nakamura when HARASHIMA pinned Nakamura with the Somato (16:44).

One of the panels taking place at today’s DDT fan event in Ota Ward was about training and raising awareness for crime prevention. DDT took part in a demonstration for some of the equipment local authorities can use to aprehend criminals. Yuki Ueno & HARASHIMA played the roles of troublemakers who would then get caught by the different equipment. However actual troublemakers then entered the room when Danshoku Dieno & Keigo Nakamura crashed the panel and demanded a Falls Count Anywhere Match.

The two teams fought each other all over the room, using whatever bits and pieces they could get from fans to use as weapons. Dieno ended up taking a fan hostage with a knife while Ueno crashed into a castle of chairs set up on one side of the room. However Dieno ended up getting the knife stabbed into his backside, causing him to faint onto a table with the knife still sticking out. Ueno & HARASHIMA then used the crime prevention equipment to immobilise Nakamura and win the match.

5. Crazy Semi-Final!: MAO & Yoshihiko defeated HARASHIMA & Pokotan when Yoshihiko pinned Pokotan after the Double Rainmaker (14:38).
6. Talk! 15 Years Of HIRATA GO!! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazuki Hirata, Hiromu Takahashi & Keisuke Ishii defeated YO-HEY, Kenshin Chikano & Soma Takao when Hirata pinned Takao with the Egoist Driver (28:35).
*Special Referee: Katsumi Tamagawa

In 2020 Kazuki Hirata planned to put together a show to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his debut match. Sadly he had to shelve the idea due to the pandemic and waited around for five years so he could have an appropriate occassion to finally run the show. What better time to do that than this week with the 15th anniversary approaching the horizon? Hirata went ahead an invited close friends of his from across the wrestling scene to put the event together. The main event was a wealth of Jr. Heavyweights from different companies gathering together to celebrate Hirata. There was Hiromu Takahashi from New Japan, YO-HEY from NOAH, Keisuke Ishii from Ganbare☆Pro, Kenshin Chikano from Dove Pro and Soma Takao from DDT all joining Hirata in the main event. Hirata’s old Kobe classmate Katsumi Tamagawa got involved too as the referee.

Hirata almost felt left out in his own main event so he pleaded with Takahashi to tag him in so he could get the victory himself. He fought to use the Hirata GO! glasses but came to the realization he doesn’t want to dance on his own anymore. Takahashi & Ishii assured him they would join in and they all put on the glasses. Even the other team found their own pairs and joined in for the big finale. Hirata then purposely singled out YO-HEY & Chikano because today will be the last time all three of them will be fighting each other in the ring. They fought to a stalemate, leading to Takao getting tagged in. He gave Hirata the Perfect Driver but the pin got broken up. Takahashi hit Takao with the Hiromu Bomber, Ishii followed up with the Kneel Kick and Hirata scored the pinfall with the Egoist Driver.

This was an unusual position for Hirata to be in so he asked the other wrestlers to talk first after the match. Takahashi said he knows Hirata the least out of everyone in the group but Hirata was the first wrestler he’s ever beaten and that was a turning point for his career. He also brought up what a great memory their match at Sumo Hall was back in November 2023. He still doesn’t understand what the rules were that day but he remembers Chris Jericho praising it. He’s had many moving matches with many wrestlers but that one has stuck with him the most. Ishii told Hirata they’ve been friends since their trainee days. Things may have changed a bit as the years have gone on and Ishii became Hirata’s senior but he thanked him for letting him join his team today. Hirata said it took 15 years for all of these dots to connect together. Good things will happen to him if he keeps going so he is glad to have become a pro wrestler.

For a show that was meant to all fun and games for everybody it took a very dangerous turn in the semi-main event. Heat between Pokotan and Yoshihiko led to them fighting each other from the get go. MAO joined in and the fight went outside the ring. MAO & Yoshihiko would then give Pokotan a double chairshot near the entranceway, causing the mascot to get busted open! Back in the ring Yoshihiko worked over HARASHIMA until Pokotan returned with a chair. Pokotan and Yoshihiko had a tug of war over the chair, accidentally knocking out Yukinori Matsui when the chair was thrusted into him. MAO attacked Pokotan with an umbrella then handed it over to Yoshihiko. Their attack backfired when Yoshihiko charged, Pokotan jumped out of the way and the umbrella stabbed straight through MAO’s stomach! More chaos happened that ended with HARASHIMA accidentally hitting Pokotan with the Somato, causing the mascot’s head to fall off. MAO & Pokotan did an Iai Kick/Canadian Destroyer for a nearfall and then won with the Double Rainmaker to Pokotan.

Things were a little bit rusty for the return of Zuncha♪Muscle Survivor. There was a moment when Shinya Aoki kicked Naruki Doi by accident but they were then attacked by the other team before anything could go further. Zuncha♪Muscle Survivor were able to regroup and get the win in the end.

Hirata promised the winner of the Battle Royal would get a special prize that he promised would cheer them up. Chris Brookes took advantage of a mistake Yuya Koroku made to knock him out of the ring. Maku Donaruto showed up as one of the surprise entries and he ended up chasing Yuni out of the ring. An even more unexpected surprise appeared when the last entrant turned out to be Kotoka, the Dragongate wrestler who retired back in 2018! Brookes was happy to see him because he was a big fan of his but that didn’t stop Kotoka from eliminating him. Kotoka then went on to win the match and Hirata’s special prize. It was one of Hirata’s old wrestling outfits. The trunks, the kneepads, the wristguards and everything. Kotoka didn’t want them and threw it all out of the ring.

Hirata’s special day meant he wasn’t the one losing a match in under 10 seconds like he usually does. That happened to Antonio Honda instead. Before the match restarted, Hisaya Imabayashi warned everyone that Punch Tominaga can be really scary and his promotion Dragongate does not allow dirty humour. That didn’t stop Danshoku Dieno because he still pulled his own wrestling tights down to “Open The Dream Gate”. Tominaga joined in the dirty jokes by using Dieno’s Dream Gate to charge him up but Dieno ran out of energy. Tominaga then ordered Imabayashi to get in the same position and joined him. While that happened, Honda was pinned by Toru Owashi to end the match leaving Tominaga frozen in an awkward position.

DDT “YACCHAINA FIGHT 2025” Results

March 8, 2025

DDT “YACCHAINA FIGHT 2025”, 08/03/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Daisuke Sasaki & Ilusion defeated Yuni & Yuki Ishida when Ilusion pinned Yuni with the Swanton Bomb (8:11).
2. Toru Owashi, Soma Takao & Yukio Naya defeated MAO, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Naya pinned Hirata with a Slap To The Back (0:28).
2a. Rematch: Toru Owashi, Soma Takao & Yukio Naya defeated MAO, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Rakao pinned Hirata with a Running Elbow Butt (9:57).
3. Special Single Match: KANON defeated MJ Paul by Disqualification when Hideki Okatani interfered (9:06).
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku defeated Shinya Aoki, Keigo Nakamura & Kazuma Sumi when Koroku submitted Sumi with the Modified Triangle Lancer (10:44).
5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated Minoru Suzuki & Akito when Ueno submitted Akito with the Blackout Sleeper (16:38).
6. Road To Judgement 2025! Special Tag Match: Masahiro Takanashi & Antonio Honda defeated Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada when Takanashi pinned Brookes with the Bracchus (19:55).

Not long to go now until it’s time for “JUDGEMENT 2025”. Today was the last day for preliminary tag matches involving some of the upcoming title bouts happening at DDT’s 28th Anniversary show. SCHADENFREUDE International was split into two for the main event. Chris Brookes teamed with Takeshi Masada while his next challenger Masahiro Takanashi teamed up with Antonio Honda. Takanashi was on the receiving end of CDK style tag team moves this time. Brookes & Masada gave him the Thrust Kick/Piledriver combo that CDK likes to do. However Takanashi kicked out of the pin and all of a sudden trapped Brookes in the Bracchus to score a win over the KO-D Openweight Champion! The message is clear. No matter what Brookes does to Takanashi, Takanashi will take the KO-D Title from him in the end! Takanashi even said after the match that those three seconds are worth more than the six years they’ve been together!

The other prelim match of note is the only time Yuki Ueno and Minoru Suzuki were facing each other before their DDT Universal Title match. At first Suzuki overwhelmed Ueno with submission holds as well as attacks outside of the ring. To-y suffered the same when Suzume brushed off his Chops and knocked To-y down with only one of his own. However To-y rescued Ueno from the Gotch-Style Piledriver, giving Ueno the space to put Akito in the Blackout Sleeper and win by submission. Suzuki told Ueno after the match he isn’t going to give him the usual B-Grade warnings to hype up their title match. Instead he encouraged him to give the fans a more fun and intense match at Korakuen Hall. One that will destroy Korakuen with the combined force of all their might! Ueno admitted today was a painful match but he hasn’t had enough fun yet to give up the belt now.

KANON is now living a life where he has to fight by himself. His match with MJ Paul immediately went sideways because the rest of DAMNATION T.A would attack him at ringside. Part of the attack included Hideki Okatani hitting KANON with a bamboo stick. Ilusion then interfered when KANON put Paul in the Cobra Twist. KANON fought him off and went to finish Paul off when Okatani returned with another bamboo stick attack. He then hit the referee with it causing the match to end in disqualification. Daisuke Sasaki told KANON he is going to teach him a lesson and end him on 20th March. He then broke a chair over his head. Okatani told KANON a powerless guy like him has no choice but to be controlled by DAMNATION T.A. Backstage KANON said he knows better than anyone what they do because he was with the unit for three years. He promised to get revenge on them and kill Sasaki at Korakuen!

Something was off about Hisaya Imabayashi today. When Match #2 ended in seconds like a Kazuki Hirata match usually does, the GM didn’t react to it. Instead he jusy looked depressed. This made the wrestlers all concerned for him so he explained lately he has lost his passion for wrestling. Everyone agreed to have an immediate rematch and make it so exciting that Imabayashi would care enough to get angry again when they eventually ruin it. It took some effort but they eventually helped Imabayashi find his passion again and enter the match to stop their nonsense. He was then quickly incapacitated by Danshoku Dieno’s Hell Gate.

Before NωA Jr. started their musical performance Yuni tried to roll up Shunma Katsumata in a failed attempt to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Katsumata kicked out and after an awkward moment or two the group sang their song like nothing had happened.

DDT “DDT MEET & GREET & FIGHT MARCH” Results

March 6, 2025

DDT “DDT MEET & GREET & FIGHT MARCH”, 06/03/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Yuki Ishida defeated Kazuma Sumi with the Flame Palm (6:32).
2. To-y & Yukio Naya defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Naya pinned Hirata with a Slap To The Back (0:14).
2a. Prevent An Instant Kill! A Death Match Where You Can’t Go Home Until You’ve Eaten All Of The Akagi Nyugyo Style GariGarikun: To-y & Yukio Naya defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when To-y pinned Hirata with the Kojima In Wonderland (15:05).
3. Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku defeated Takeshi Masada & Keigo Nakamura when Koroku submitted Nakamura with the Modified Triangle Lancer (12:51).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Shunma Katsumata defeated To-y (c) by submission (7:21 pm).
*Shunma Katsumata becomes the 1,737nd champion.

It was a cold evening to hold a pro wrestling show outdoors. It was a good thing for the wrestlers that it was a short one as part of the “MEET & GREET & FIGHT” series. In the main event Keigo Nakamura tried joining in with the SCHADENFREUDE International shenanigans and Chris Brookes also interfered to help out Takeshi Masada. However HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku were able to withstand the disadvantage and went on to win the match. Koroku afterward called this team the HARASHIMA Smile Camp and said he is now in great shape for next month’s KO-D Openweight Title match.

As already mentioned, it was cold out today and the wrestlers were effected by it. Match #2 only lasted 14 seconds when Yukio Naya slapped Kazuki Hirata over the back which was enough to pin him immediately. Hisaya Imabayashi was furious over how fast the match was and came up with a punishment. He knows a normal rematch would end quickly a second time so he told the two teams they’re not allowed to win the match until they eat three ice pops. To-y and Danshoku Dieno in particular really didn’t want to eat them and had to force themselves into doing it. Hirata though was in the mood to do a magic trick. He stuck the last ice pop into Dieno’s Hell Gate and when he pulled it back out it had transformed into a chocolate ice cream! He forced Naya to take a bite but To-y then did the same to him before winning the match with the Kojima Impact.

The cold weather came into play again during the photo session held after the show. Shunma Katsumata ambushed To-y and wrapped him up in tape until he was immobilized. Katsumata demanded To-y to give him back the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title but he refused. So Katsumata started force feeding him ice pops until he gave up, which counted as an Iron Man Title change. To-y had to go straight back to the photo session after he was freed.

KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles Vacated, Hirata Might Be Booker Of The Year, Full Cards For Grand Princess & Judgement 2025

February 25, 2025

Today DDT announced the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles have been vacated by DAMNATION T.A. The status of the championship was up in the air since Sunday after KANON was kicked out of the unit. He was one third of the champions along with Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul but the situation between them was “deemed difficult” according to DDT for future title defences to be scheduled. A match to determine the 57th champions will be announced as soon as it is decided on. I swear DAMNATION T.A have the weirdest luck with tag team championships. They either lose them immediately or hold onto them long enough for something within them to fall apart.

Moka Miyamoto is going to bounce off of Max The Impaler like a tennis ball being thrown into a wall. Kakeru Sekiguchi returns to TJPW to team with Mahiro Kiryu again and this time she’ll be introduced to Kiryu’s cat Haruna Neko.

9. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Minoru Suzuki
10. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi

Meanwhile Chris Brookes decided to defend his KO-D Openweight Title against his longtime CDK teammate Masahiro Takanashi. But this is not being done out of love or friendship. The two want to give DDT fans a fight to remember to close out one of the most important shows of the year for the company.

Danshoku Dieno and Super Sasadango Machine are threatening to give everyone the worst match ever for their DDT Extreme Title bout. Hisaya Imabayashi will be turning back into Amon Tsurumi for one night only to officiate the match.

He doesn’t understand why he’s been expelled from DAMNATION T.A but KANON wants to get revenge on Daisuke Sasaki. DDT quickly put together the singles match between them for this show.

It’s planned to be a five hour show but the card still has to be crammed together a little bit. That means Kazusada Higuchi and Shunma Katsumata will make their respective returns from injury in the same match. It’s also a good excuse to have a Harimao Vs NωA Jr. trios match.

DDT “CHANGE AGE 2025 ~YOUR LIE IN APRIL~”, 06/04/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Hideki Okatani Return Match: Hideki Okatani Vs X
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Yuya Koroku

Whoever comes out of Korakuen as the KO-D Champion in March will return there in April to defend it against the D GENERATIONS CUP winner Yuya Koroku.

KANON was kicked out of DAMNATION T.A to be replaced by the return of Hideki Okatani! He isn’t ready to wrestle again just yet but once April comes around, the world will see what this new version of Okatani will get up to.

DDT “NEXT GENERATION 2025 ~KISARAGI ROMAN~” Results

February 23, 2025

DDT “NEXT GENERATION 2025 ~KISARAGI ROMAN~”, 23/02/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Toru Owashi & Yuki Ishida defeated Yuni & Kazuma Sumi when Ishida pinned Sumi with the Flame Palm (5:10).
2. Special Single Match: Kazuki Hirata defeated Antonio Honda with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (7:11).
3. Special Tag Match: Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Koju “Shining Ball” Takeda Vs Super Sasadango Machine & Yumehito Imanari ended in a No Contest (11:12).

7. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – Final: Yuya Koroku defeated Takeshi Masada with the Modified Triangle Lancer (16:40).

DDT really wanted to shine a spotlight on their new generation of wrestlers so they placed this year’s D GENERATIONS CUP final in the main event of today’s Korakuen Hall show. With a future KO-D Openweight Title shot on the line, Takeshi Masada and Yuya Koroku faced off in a rematch of the 2023 DGC final. At first Koroku went for his usual game plan to target the arm until he started pulling out moves from his former BURNING allies. He used the Intercept DDT from Yusuke Okada and the Spinning Torture Rack Bomb from Tetsuya Endo. He also had Masada’s finisher scouted and countered the move into the Chickenwing Arm Lock before switching over to the Triangle Lancer. Masada had no answer to that and gave up, making Koroku the third tournament winner!

Koroku thanked the fans for supporting him and talked about what happened five months ago when he was humiliated in this ring. He thought about quitting but the fan support gave him the strength to get to this point. This is just the beginning because on 6th April he will get his KO-D title match at Korakuen Hall. Backstage he told reporters that he wouldn’t have come this far without BURNING because they taught him so much about everything. He also thinks it is an honour he will get to fight for the KO-D Title exactly four years into his career. He made himself a promise at the start of the year and this April he will fulfill it by winning that title!

There was something familiar surrounding the Brave Bang Bravern collaboration match that I just can’t put my finger on. The giant mecha Bravern was shrunk down to human size for its debut pro wrestling match. It teamed with Yuki Ueno (back from his health scare) & MAO to take on the team of Yukio Naya, Akito & Soma Takao who were representing the show’s bad guys. One of the voice actors for the show (and also the current Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion) Tetsu Inada watched from the commentary booth but became so invested in the match he moved down to ringside. There he saw Bravern, Ueno & MAO give Akito a Triple Razor’s Edge from the corner. Bravern then used the ~~Somato~~ Brave Cross Stinger on Akito to get the pinfall. He thanked Ueno & MAO for helping him save DDT with their fiery spirit and indomitable courage. If DDT is ever in trouble again they can call for his help. In return Ueno & MAO suggested they can show up in Season 2 of the anime if it ever gets made.

In a last minute change to the show Masahiro Takanashi became ill with fever symptoms and was replaced by Baliyan Akki. He and Chris Brookes still meshed together well as a tag team. Perhaps a little too well because when Brookes tried to slap Keigo Nakamura and Nakamura ducked, Akki saw it coming and blocked it before instinctively slapping Brookes back. That minor setback gave Nakamura & Shinya Aoki a chance to get the win but it didn’t work out for them. In the end Brookes got his second wind, dodged Nakamura’s Diving Headbutt and eventually pinned him with the Praying Mantis Bomb.

After the match Hisaya Imabayashi approached Brookes in the ring. He had given him a month to decide who he wants defend the KO-D Title against at DDT’s 28th Anniversary show on 20th March. Brookes knew who to pick and decided to ring the person on his phone right there in the ring. The call was answered and it turned out to be Masahiro Takanashi on the other end! Brookes asked his CDK partner to challenge him for a title match. Takanashi said he knew Brookes would pick him and asked if it was out of kindness for all that he has done for him? Brookes told him it is an important show so he wants to fight a strong Takanashi, not a kind one. He will kill him in the ring if he has to! Takanashi promised he will give it his all and take the belt from Brookes so he will be the one defending it against the DGC winner in April!

A ragtag bunch of babyfaces were not able to beat DAMNATION T.A in an 8-Man Tag Match. To-y tried to take charge by telling Jun Akiyama to grab Ilusion and hold him still. To-y then missed his attack and hit Akiyama instead so Akiyama angrily yelled at him while DAMNATION T.A were beating up To-y. Akiyama had a much better time doing teamwork with Daichi Sato. The youngster even went toe to toe with MJ Paul until the match broke down into a brawl. To-y ended up hitting Akiyama by accident again and nobody was there to save Tomomitsu Matsunaga from being pinned by KANON. Akiyama got a shot in on To-y for revenge after the match.

The day wasn’t over for DAMNATION T.A yet. All of a sudden Hideki Okatani walked down to the ring armed with a bamboo stick. He climbed inside and attacked KANON with it while the rest of DAMNATION T.A… joined in on the attack! After the beatdown Daisuke Sasaki introduced Okatani as DAMANTION T.A’s newest crazy member and then announced KANON has been kicked out of the group! According to Sasaki, KANON has become too smug and no good for the unit so it is time to say goodbye. Okatani then called KANON a brown-nosing wrestler for always pandering to the crowd before hitting him again with the bamboo stick until it broke.

Okatani explained even more backstage, revealing that KANON has actually been cut off from the unit a long time ago. Sasaki called KANON the biggest failure he has ever created but now he has created his new masterpiece in Okatani. He then claimed that Okatani will have his return match in April. He tore his ACL last April so a year will have passed when he wrestles again. KANON was in tears backstage because he doesn’t know what he did to deserve this. He demanded a singles match with Sasaki to settle things and DDT ended up booking it for 20th March. Lost in the middle of this is what will happen with the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles? DAMNATION T.A are the current title holders and KANON was part of the champion team.

Hisaya Imabayashi’s worst nightmare came back to life for one night only. There was supposed to be a full blown Pheromones reunion but it got hampered when Yuki Iino got injured. Super Sasadango Machine filled in for him and Yumehito Imanari appeared as his normal self. But Danshoku Dieno & Koju Takeda both showed up acting like their Pheromones personas. The match eventually became too lewd for any audience and Imabayashi had to call it off by using a towel to cover anything that should not be seen on a live broadcast. He paid the price and Pheromones rendered him unconscious with their salacious attacks.

While this was all happening, Sasadango made his way up to the commentary table and grabbed everyone’s attention with his latest PowerPoint presentation. It was titled “Characteristics And Practical Methods Of People Who Are Good At Schedule Management.” He explained how posters can be used to promote his matches and pointed out he does not have a match yet for the 28th Anniversary show despite being on the poster. So he is challenging Dieno to a DDT Extreme Title match for 20th March! It will be a special day for DDT and Dieno is a special wrestler for the company. Also the Extreme Title is the only proper DDT championship Sasadango has ever held. He even added an extra condition to make the match even more special. It will be the last time Sasadango will challenge for that title! Dieno refused the challenge but only so he can nominate Sasadango as his next challenger. He also told Imabayashi he wants his alter ego Amon Tsurumi to be part of the match as the special referee! Together these three old men promise to put on the worst match ever!

Kazuki Hirata had a lot of down time while he was recovering from his knee injury so he occupied himself by watching a lot of wrestling. By doing so he made the eye opening discovery that nobody else dances during their matches. So for his return match he wanted to take things seriously and wrestle properly. Too bad his opponent Antonio Honda wanted to see him dance instead and kept tempting him to put the Hirata GO glasses back on. Hirata couldn’t take it but just when he was about to put on the glasses, Honda attacked him. Hirata fought back though and pinned Honda with the Miracle One Shot Cradle before getting to dance as his true self again.

Hirata then had an announcement to make about his 15th Anniversary Match on 12th March. He and Keisuke Ishii are going to team up with someone special to take on YO-HEY, Kenshin Chikano & Soma Takao. The third man on his team is Hiromu Takahashi! He said he is putting everything he has into the production of this show so everyone will have a happy time together.

The show began with a song performance by NωA Jr. (no doubt trying to impress Kaisei Takechi over at the commentary booth. When they were done Yuni & Kazuma Sumi then faced Toru Owashi & Yuki Ishida in the opening bout. Owashi did a little bit of lucha before switching over to sumo which fitted in more with Ishida’s Dosukoi spirit. Sumi tried to win with a Lionsault and the School Boy but Ishida threw him over with a Scooping German Suplex and pinned him with the Flame Palm.

DDT “REMBRANDT HIGHWAY SERIES 2025 ICHIGO BOUT IN EBINA” Results

February 16, 2025

DDT “REMBRANDT HIGHWAY SERIES 2025 ICHIGO BOUT IN EBINA”, 16/02/2025
Kanagawa Rembrandt Hotel Ebina (3F La Rose)
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated Toru Owashi & Soma Takao when Sasaki submitted Takao with the Crossface Lock (8:02).
2. Makoto Oishi defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with an Inverted Hurricanrana (7:24).
3. Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato defeated Yuya Koroku & Keigo Nakamura when Masada pinned Nakamura with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (10:50).
4. Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda defeated Yuni & Kazuma Sumi when Dieno pinned Sumi with the Gaydo Clutch (12:34).
5. SCHADENFREUDE International Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi defeated KANON & Ilusion when Takanashi pinned Ilusion after the Praying Mantis Bomb from Brookes (11:42).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, To-y & Yukio Naya defeated Jun Akiyama, HARASHIMA & Akito when MAO submitted Akito with a Twister (19:12).

The main event finish was MAO submitting Akito? That’s unusual. What happened was MAO went for the Iai Kick and Akito caught his foot. Akito then pulled MAO into a Knee Lock but MAO was able to reposition himself in the hold and counter it into a Twister submission.

The hotel manager was dragged into Match #4 because Danshoku Dieno wanted to give him a kiss all day. Antonio Honda ended up hitting him during the Gongitsune spot. However after Dieno won the match, the manager gave him a kiss and the two walked off holding each other by the hand.

Takeshi Masada is confident he will crush Yuya Koroku at the D GENERATIONS CUP final. Not only did his team beat Koroku’s team today but it was clear from the press conference during the week that Koroku is carrying a lot of regret and insecurity into the final. He wants to take his frustration out on Masada though and Masada understands it will make the match more exciting. Koroku doesn’t care how he looks during the match. He promises to break Masada’s arm and nose to win the Cup!

Osaka Umeda Sky Building Stella Hall

10. GLEAT Vs DDT Premium Battle: Chris Brookes defeated Soma Watanabe with the Ground Manjigatame (15:05).

For the second year in a row GLEAT invited DDT over to their part of the wrestling world for a combined show between the two promotions. The main event was originally planned to be DDT’s Yuki Ueno against GLEAT’s Soma Watanabe but Ueno’s medical scare during the week pulled him from the show. Chris Brookes was moved up to take his place making the new main event a match between the current KO-D Openweight Champion against the previous G-REX Champion. Watanabe missing a Firebird Splash cost him big because from that point Brookes took over. The GLEAT wrestler was able to kick out of the Praying Mantis Bomb but Brookes then started pulling him apart with an Octopus Hold on the mat until Watanabe gave up. Watanabe said he doesn’t get many chances to fight the KO-D Champion so he was determined to win and get a title shot in the process. He asked Brookes to please hold onto the title so when he wins back the G-REX Title they can have their rematch with both belts on the line.

In the slimmest sense possible there was also AAA involvement because SBK & TAKUMA had spent a lot of last year wrestling over there. The TOKYO BAD BOYS teamed up with Kazuma Sumi here because of their shared history within the Dragongate system together. Sumi’s lineage with the company was perhaps a little too close because Takehiro Yamamura confused him for El Lindaman and wanted to beat Sumi for that reason. He got what he wanted because he pinned Sumi with the Super Super Kick while MAO & Yuya Koroku cleared away the TOKYO BAD BOYS.

It is probably not a coincidence that the only GLEAT match with no DDT wrestlers in it also involved Katsuhiko Nakajima.

The show was able to bring HARASHIMA & CIMA together as a team again, adding KAZMA SAKAMOTO to make it a trio. CIMA wanted to fight Yukio Naya in a Sumo match but quickly regretted it. Parker Boudreaux overpowered the trio with his strength before joining up with Naya to slam them around even harder together. SAKAMOTO was tripped near the ropes by Brass Knuckles JUN, allowing Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami to hit a Lariat and win the match. However Naya & Boudreaux came to the other team’s rescue after the match by attacking Kawakami & JUN. HARASHIMA, CIMA & SAKAMOTO then all hit their finishers on the heels to get their revenge.

The current G-REX Champion Kaito Ishida was originally meant to fight Yuki Ishida in an Ishida Showdown. However Yuki was injured so DDT replaced him with Keigo Nakamura. Kaito Ishida tried to beat up Nakamura so bad outside the ring that he would win by countout but Nakamura got back in at 18. Nakamura tried to make a comeback but Ishida cut him down with a Leg Lariat and pinned him with the Buzzsaw Kick. He then slapped Nakamura over the head and stomped on him before leaving the ring.

The G-RULES match between El Lindaman and Ilusion had the following rules applied. There was a 7 minute time limit, 2 Count Pinfalls is enough to win, both wrestlers are allowed 2 rope breaks each before they get ignored and there is a 7 Count outside the ring. Ilusion stuck up his middle finger and shouted “Fuck you!” to Lindaman. When Lindaman blocked a Diving Cross Body he told Ilusion not to use dirty words. He ended up pinning Ilusion with the German Suplex.

Poor JD Lee had no idea what to expect from the other team. One of them was MICHIKO’s otaku alter ego Densha MICHIo who kept fidgeting with her glasses and used her backpack as a weapon. The other was Danshoku Dieno who picked Lee as his target. To-y promised to protect Lee from them but there wasn’t much he could do to stop the opposition. Much to Lee’s relief, the Hell Gate backfired on Dieno & MICHIo and Lee was able to hit the Shooting Star Press on MICHIo to win. But just when he thought he was safe, Dieno caught up to him and gave him the Lip Lock.
