NJPW wants him to recover in time for their Tokyo Dome shows in the new year so he’s been pulled from the DDT show as a precaution. Danshoku Dieno will now fight The Invisible Man as a last minute replacement and any intention Dieno had to unofficially defend the DDT Extreme Title has been put to the side for now.

It’s one more week to go until “ULTIMATE PARTY 2024” but first there was a little matter of DDT running their last show at Korakuen Hall for 2024. Chris Brookes and Daisuke Sasaki got to clash one more time before their KO-D Openweight Title match. Here it was CDK against the top two of DAMNATION T.A. The match broke down with the rest of DAMNATION T.A interfering to attack Masahiro Takanashi. That led to SCHADENFREUDE International launching a counter attack that ended with the four of them all hitting Sasaki with a grouped up Super Kick. KANON brought in a chair but Brookes grabbed it off him, hit it over Sasaki’s head and pinned him with the Praying Mantis Bomb.
Brookes told everyone after the match that one year ago he was having surgery to remove a tumor but one year later he is here in the DDT ring as the KO-D Champion! He is confident he will defend the title at Sumo Hall. Sasaki thinks otherwise because today he absorbed all of Brookes’s moves. That means when “ULTIMATE PARTY 2024” comes around Sasaki will have Brookes all figured out. He suggests that Brookes start packing his bags because when Sumo Hall is over Sasaki will kick him back to the UK!
DDT was on in the afternoon today before New Japan took over Korakuen for the evening slot. That opened up an opportunity to have a few cross-promotional things happen like Yuki Iino fighting Tomohiro Ishii is a battle of the stocky heavyweights. There were Shoulder Blocks, Elbow Strikes, Chops, Lariats and Heabutts galore. Iino got to hit the Spear but Ishii kicked out at two. Ishii wore down Iino and finished him off with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster to win. Backstage Ishii said Iino is close to being ready and it’s a shame he isn’t there yet. Iino has power, stamina and drive but he still needs to fight and search for what he needs to get to that next level. He does not care if Iino wants to do that though. Ishii has already moved on so whatever Iino does in the future does not concern him.
There was a slight technological delay buy Super Sasadango Machine was able to display his latest PowerPoint presentation. It’s all about connecting the dots in order to beat Yuki Ueno. The greatest weapon in Ueno’s arsenal is his high flying moves so Sasadango secretly told everyone in Korakuen that he hid a spare King Of Sasadango title belt under the ring with three thumbtacks sticking out of it. During the match Sasadango swapped his belt with the thumbtack belt and lured Ueno into doing the Frog Splash. Ueno landed stomach first on the thumbtacks and was rolled over with a School Boy. Ueno kicked out though and gave Sasadango a Dropkick followed by a Body Slam onto the belt. But when he went for the pin, Sasadango suddenly caught him in an Inside Cradle and held him down long enough for Yukinori Matsui to eventually count to three! Sasadango then asked Ueno to nominate him as his first challenger if Ueno regains the KO-D Title next year.
Loss after loss has gotten to Yuya Koroku so he was determined not to get beaten by To-y again today. To-y was on fire though. He used the Kojima Impact on Akito and did the same to Koroku. But this time Tetsuya Endo was there to break the pin in time. Koroku then grabbed Kojima by the arm and refused to let go. He countered a Headlock into the Chickenwing Arm Lock and increased the struggle until To-y could no longer fight out of the move. To-y wouldn’t submit either so Matsui stopped the match for his safety and rewarded Koroku’s team with the win. Backstage Endo explained that the one thing Koroku has been missing until now was cruelty. Sometimes in wrestling you just have to be cruel to your opponent. Koroku agrees and said next time he will break To-y’s arm! However To-y thinks this result won’t happen again at Sumo Hall. He and MAO will win the vacant KO-D Tag Team Titles and they’ll have fun doing it.
Match #3 provided a good workout for some of the Sumo Hall undercard matches. Jun Akiyama and Yukio Naya started it off while Shinya Aoki and HARASHIMA got to wrestle each other again. Naya eventually got the upper hand by giving Akiyama the Choke Slam. However the match came down to Keigo Nakamura striking Yuki Ishida with High Kicks before knocking him down with the Brazilian Kick for the victory. Aoki told Nakamura they’re off to a good start as a team. Nakamura is confident they can beat Kenoh and the NOAH team at Sumo Hall. He will go there with his head held high. Akiyama told Naya that the practice matches are now over. It is now up to them to go at each other as strong as they can in Sumo Hall.
We all know what to expect by now when DDT books a tag match like Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata against Toru Owashi & Antonio Honda. Dieno went into the Hell Gate position, Honda used it to charge up Gongitsune and he ended up hitting Owashi with the move by accident. Dieno then charged up his own attack but hit Hirata with it by mistake. Honda then went for the Diving Fist Drop but Dieno blocked it with a Claw Attack and went on to pin Honda with the Danshoku Driver.
Dieno was not done yet however. He got on the microphone and wanted to talk about his Sumo Hall match with Great-O-Khan. So he invited O-Khan to the show to discuss the match stipulation in the ring! Khan entered the venue and sat with Dieno in the ring. They both agreed they want to have a match at Sumo Hall that can never be done there ever again. Something that DDT and New Japan would also not let them do either. O-Khan then brought out an unexpected guest, the voice actor Kentaro Kumagai. He also happens to be somebody that Dieno gave the Lip Lock to at a DDT show back in June. O-Khan gave him a United Empire shirt and ordered him to wear it out of loyalty. Another voice actor Tetsu Inada then entered the ring to side with Dieno and DDT. Dieno decided the match should have the DDT Extreme Title on the line but Hisaya Imabayashi refused to grant his request. It’s a miracle that Imabayashi convinced NJPW to let this match happen in the first place so upgrading it a title bout will be impossible. Dieno does not care and promised O-Khan the Extreme Title will be on the line even if DDT will not make it official. Kumagai then started complaining about the time Dieno gave him the Lip Lock. Inada argued back because the things Pheromones did to him were way worse. The two voice actors decided they will be at ringside for the match to support their wrestlers.
The rest of DAMNATION T.A put some of DDT’s younger wrestlers through the wringer in the opening match. MJ Paul & Demus worked together to give Kazuma Sumi a Double Argentine Facebuster. Ilusion landed the Swanton Bomb onto Yuni and then Demus used La Valagueza on Sumi to win the match. Ilusion made fun of NωA Jr. for trying to be fake idols while Demus promised to kill Sumi again at Sumo Hall. Both Yuni & Sumi want to get revenge on those two. Takeshi Masada asked the two of them to please win that match.
It was announced that Minoru Suzuki will be at DDT’s 28th Anniversary show at Korakuen Hall on 20th March.

Shuji Ishikawa being in the match is a surprise and might be a hint towards how much of a presence Evolution Joshi will grow in the industry throughout 2025. KANON is the wild card to make sure DAMNATION T.A stays near the title picture. But what will happen if he wins the match and Daisuke Sasaki is the champion?

6. SCHADENFREUDE International Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & Ilusion defeated Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada when Sasaki submitted Honda with the Crossface Lock (14:04).
7. Special Single Match: To-y defeated Yuya Koroku with a Chickenwing Arm Lock Counter (15:45).
It just keeps happening! To-y once again beat Yuya Koroku, this time in a main event singles match. It continues the trend of Koroku’s recent losing streak against To-y. He spends the match targeting To-y’s arm and went for a Chickenwing Arm Lock to finish him off. However To-y found a way to Inside Cradle Koroku while defending himself from the move and scored the pinfall to win again. To-y said he is forging his own path no matter what. He is who he is today because he believes in The 37KAMIINA and they believe in him. That’s why he and MAO are going to take the KO-D Tag Team Titles at Sumo Hall! Koroku still can’t figure out what he’s doing wrong. He enjoys wrestling and believes in BURNING. Whatever he’s missing he hasn’t been doing it enough to win matches.
Daisuke Sasaki is going to make everyone believe he will beat Chris Brookes for the KO-D Openweight Title at Sumo Hall, even if he has to convince them by force. After DAMNATION T.A defeated SCHADENFREUDE International in their latest battle, they attacked Keigo Nakamura at ringside and forced him to say Sasaki will beat Brookes for the title. Nakamura was targeted because he has spent the month campaigning with Brookes for the upcoming Shukan Puroresu Awards. Sasaki also found one of the magazine’s reporters backstage and forced him to say the same thing.
The grudge between Yuki Ueno and Kazuki Hirata was settled with a match between the two. It happened here because the venue is only a 15 minute walk away from Ueno’s old alma mater. Hirata had an evil plan in place to hire masked goons to attack Ueno after the referee was knocked out. Ueno easily fought them off. Hirata then read a personal letter to Ueno where he said he would like nothing more than for Ueno to dance with him. Ueno was given a pair of Hirata GO! glasses but he refused because there are two things he hates: hurting people and dancing. The masked goons were able to get the glasses onto Ueno’s head, forcing him to dance with Hirata. But that only led to Ueno giving him the WR and winning the match.
MAO and Tomomitsu Matsunaga both fainted when they forced each other to go faces first into Danshoku Dieno’s rear end while he was bent over the top turnbuckle. MAO fell on top of Matsunaga when they collapsed and that was counted as a pin.
Yuki Ishida tried to get along with Carnatux by making him do the Dosukoi pose.

6. SCHADENFREUDE International Vs DAMNATION T.A! – Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion (2) defeated Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Antonio Honda (1).
6a. Ilusion (1) pinned Takanashi (0) with a Modified Cradle (7:24).
6b. Antonio Honda (1) submitted MJ Paul (1) with an Arm Bar (11:56).
6c. Daisuke Sasaki (2) submitted Chris Brookes (1) with the Crossover Face Lock (6:47).
As DDT gets closer to Sumo Hall, one of the last stops left was at Shinjuku FACE for some more previews of what to expect at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2024”. In the main event DAMNATION T.A went ahead of SCHADENFREUDE International in their feud filled with different multi-man tag stipulations. Today’s match was Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls. DAMNATION took the first fall with a surprise attack at the start followed by Daisuke Sasaki grabbing Masahiro Takanashi from the apron so Ilusion could pin him with a Cradle. SCHADENFREUDE used their own tricks to win the second fall with Chris Brookes using tape to stick Sasaki’s hands together and Antonio Honda making MJ Paul submit to an Arm Bar (he pulled off a similar result with that move to Shuji Ishikawa/Koo many years ago). Brookes and Sasaki fought each other for the final fall until KANON interfered with a chair. Brookes tried to fight back but Sasaki caught him in the Crossface Lock and made him give up when he turned it into the Crossover Facelock.
Brookes grabbed the KO-D Openweight Title after the match and bragged about how much the belt wants to go back to him. He told Brookes not to give up in his British accent again. Backstage Sasaki said the punks in Britain taught him that they are not bound by law but that was all a lie. Those lies have ruined Sasaki’s life and it is time Brookes take responsibility for it! Brookes refused to give any comments backstage so Honda spoke for the team. He said that SCHADENFREUDE will be standing at the end of Ryogoku laughing in the middle of the ring.
It looks like To-y just has Yuya Koroku’s number by this point. They had a singles match today and To-y once again came out on top. Koroku’s gameplan was to target his opponent’s arm but that didn’t stop To-y from beating him with the Kojima Impact. To-y then said he will win the KO-D Tag Team Titles and make 2025 the year of himself and MAO! Koroku got scolded by Tetsuya Endo afterwards. Endo explained he keeps losing because he has changed nothing, which means he is not making any progress. He has no independence, shows no capacity to come up with crazy ideas and his heart is weak too. Koroku said he already knows that. No matter what idea he comes up with it doesn’t work. Endo told him to stop talking and try harder in the ring.
Even though Fuminori Abe twisted Keigo Nakamura into a pretzel until their match was stopped, he gives him his support for the Ryogoku tag match with Shinya Aoki against KENOH & Yu Owada. Nakamura promised to carry DDT on his back for the match so he can beat the NOAH team.
Jun Akiyama and Yukio Naya continued to fight each other after their match and it ended pretty badly for one of them. They fought up to the entrance way where Naya put Akiyama through a table with the Choke Slam! Naya later said he is at his peak and ready to surpass Akiyama at Sumo Hall.
Before the 3 Way Match began, Hisaya Imabayashi revealed to everyone he booked the match to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of his acting career. Kazuki Hirata ruined it by immediately losing the match to Danshoku Dieno. Imabayashi restarted the match and stopped Dieno from quickly winning the same way. He was so involved in the match it almost turned into a tag match with the way he was trying to help Hirata win. Imabayashi explained DDT will have no future unless Hirata becomes popular so he needed him to win. Sadly for him Dieno ended up beating Hirata again anyway.
Dieno also sent out a message to Great-O-Khan for the match on 28th December. He promised it will be the most hideous match of O-Khan’s career. O-Khan’s pride for New Japan will mean nothing when they fight in DDT!
KANON invited an unexpected guest to the ring after the opening match. It was Haruto Sakuraba, the muscle actor who recently chose to side with DAMNATION T.A for his upcoming debut! KANON introduced him to Yuki Iino and said he will crush Iino at Sumo Hall. Sakuraba said Iino is smaller than he though which caused a fight to break out between them. Sakuraba won out by knocking down Iino with a Lariat. He made fun of Iino and said he is so weak that it makes Sakuraba’s muscles cry! Sakuraba finished his introduction by calling himself “MONSTER”. Iino warned him he will be 1,000 times more powerful at Sumo Hall.
How is it that Kazuma Sumi is the only one who keeps losing to Demus’s La Valagueza finisher?

6a. Daisuke Sasaki eliminated Antonio Honda by Ring Out (11:44).
6b. Chris Brookes eliminated Demus by Ring Out (13:39).
6c. Munetatsu Nakamura eliminated Ilusion by Ring Out (16:23).
6d. MJ Paul eliminated Munetatsu Nakamura by Ring Out (19:21).
6e. Daisuke Sasaki eliminated Takeshi Masada by Ring Out (19:21).
6f. Chris Brookes eliminated MJ Paul by Ring Out (23:19).
6g. Chris Brookes and Daisuke Sasaki eliminated each other by Double Ring Out (26:42).
6h. KANON eliminated Masahiro Takanashi with the Vietnam Driver II (28:05).
DAMNATION T.A scored one back against SCHADENFREUDE International in the latest match of their feud. It was an Elimination Tag Match and most of the eliminations were from the wrestlers being thrown over the top rope out of the ring. Daisuke Sasaki sacrificed himself to eliminate Chris Brookes by doing a Suplex from the corner to the floor below, knocking both of them out of the match. That left Masahiro Takanashi and KANON as the final two with KANON ending up winning by using the Vietnam Driver II for the only pinfall elimination.
KANON made fun of SCHADENFREUDE for losing their momentum and told Brookes he got what he deserve for having such worthless teammates. Sasaki pointed out he was willing to sacrifice himself for his team even though he doesn’t love wrestling. He wants Brookes to think about the day he goes home to England because Sasaki will never let him come back to Nagoya! Sasaki later said when he wins the KO-D Openweight Title he will spend New Year’s celebrating in Hawaii.
To-y continues to get the better of Yuya Koroku in their matches against each other. He pinned him today with a Hurricanrana just when Koroku thought he had the upper hand. To-y admits he is excited and nervous about the KO-D Tag Team Titles match at Sumo Hall. Just hearing the name Ryogoku makes his heart pound. He told Yuki Ueno it might be love. Has he fallen in love with the Tag Titles? Ueno told him he is showing his full power in every warm up match so far. The more momentum they make, the more intense their excitement will get. Tetsuya Endo told Yuki Iino & Koroku that when they lose twice, they need to win three matches to make up for it. He thinks The 37KAMIINA did not show as much spirit as BURNING did today so the result did not prove who is superior.
There are many wrestlers in DDT who made Akito what he is today. Soma Takao in particular means a lot to him because he is from the same generation. Neither of them currently have a championship but their generation can still fight whether it’s together as a team or as opponents. He then told Takao he can go home. Takao left the ring telling everyone “I hate that guy.”
At the start of the show Danshoku Dieno and Kazuki Hirata played a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors to decide whose entrance music they would use. Dieno won by using Paper against Rock.

10. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & To-y Vs Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku
11. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes Vs Daisuke Sasaki
Here is the full lineup for DDT’s final show of the year. New KO-D Tag Team Champions will be crowned with the replacement match keeping The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING as its theme. You’d think To-y will want to win the belts for Shunma Katsumata but instead he is fighting for himself. That is a lesson for Yuya Koroku to learn, you still need an ego to make it as a pro wrestler.
Great-O-Khan Vs Danshoku Dieno is for the sickos but probably not the sickos you want to associate with. It’s the holder of New Japan’s notorious King Of Pro Wrestling Title taking on the DDT Extreme Champion, which is pretty much what the KOPW is trying to be. At the moment neither title seems to be on the line.
The original “ULTIMATE PARTY” shows were to bring all of the DDT (and later CyberFight) brands together so NOAH and Tokyo Joshi Pro will both have some presence on the card. Shinya Aoki has a bad habit of constantly calling out opponents for matches that no company wants to book for one reason or another. When he’s not trying to challenge Katsuhiko Nakajima to a fight he is instead trying to goad Kenoh into wrestling him. It is well known by now how much Kenoh looks down on DDT. He will bitterly accept them for what they are but he would rather be caught dead than stand in a DDT ring again. However Aoki & Keigo Nakamura have stuck a nerve with him enough to make him swallow his pride and fight in DDT again. He will be joined by NOAH rookie Yu Owada for the tag match. Aoki started this whole thing by saying he is going to beat Kenoh at Budokan Hall on New Year’s Day but I’m not sure if NOAH will actually book that match as a follow up for the DDT bout.
The two celebrities are both being put in tag matches. Haruto Sakuraba is living up to his deal with DAMNATION T.A to team with them in order to become a heel. Kumadori is naturally teaming up with DDT’s resident dancer Kazuki Hirata, mainly because Hirata admits he cannot beat him in dancing or wrestling.
TJPW are sending over the colorful trio of Rika Tatsumi, Hyper Misao & Pom Harajuku to take on the misfit squad of Toru Owashi, Super Sasadango Machine & Antonio Honda. It is a big reunion for Misao and Sasadango. They famously put together Misao’s “retirement” match in 2020 that was actually a surprise announcement of her marriage.

With Sumo Hall coming up at the end of the year, Chris Brookes and Daisuke Sasaki have a long war ahead of them that’s bringing in almost everybody with attachment to either SCHADENFREUDE International or DAMNATION T.A. Today’s battle was over the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles and quickly turned into a brawl around ringside. Sasaki and Brookes attacked each other with chairs while MJ Paul fell victim to a balcony length rubber band attack. KANON bested Takeshi Masada in their face off and left the match to the two unit leaders. Brookes had Sasaki beaten with the Praying Mantis Bomb but the pin was interrupted by DAMNATION T.A pulling the ref out of the ring. Ilusion then interfered but Munetatsu Nakamura came after him to even the odds. More chaos broke out with Demus and Antonio Honda getting in on the action. When things finally calmed down, DAMNATION T.A isolated Masahiro Takanashi and picked him apart. Sasaki countered the Takatonic with the Implant and then he gave Brookes a Low Blow. Sasaki & KANON then did the Freedom Call to Takanashi and he was then choked out by Sasaki’s Crossover Face Lock to give the champions the win.
After the match Sasaki told Brookes he and SCHADENFREUDE are nothing special. Love, romance and dreams are powerless before Sasaki! He only works for championships and the KO-D Openweight Title will definitely be his. Sasaki will be the last man standing in Sumo Hall on 28th December. He then said backstage there is a reason why he hasn’t challenged for the KO-D Title in four years but he won’t reveal it today. Instead he wants everyone to know he will be the one to bring the KO-D Title to Las Vegas next April. Brookes said there are plenty more matches to come in the next month and he will defend the title at Sumo Hall.
The DDT Extreme Title was on the line in a “Forbidden Battle” between Danshoku Dieno and Yuni. For five minutes of the match Yuni benefitted from “Cinderella Time” that meant Dieno would be immediately disqualified if he used any of his lewd moveset against him. However once that time ran out, the ban was lifted and the match would continue with no DQs whatsoever. Yuni wanted to win quickly so he went for high risk moves from the get-go while Dieno kept stopping himself from using his typical attacks. Time ran out though and Dieno instantly took over the match. Yuni eventually fought fire with fire by giving Dieno the Lip Lock and then hit two Moonsaults followed by the Fireball Splash. Dieno was still in the match so Yuni went for a Phoenix Splash. Dieno rolled out of the way, applied the Lip Lock, did the Danshoku Driver and then used a Triangle Choke to win.
Yuni refused to shake Dieno’s hand after the match. Backstage Dieno called him a rival and warned him not to get tripped up by everyone who just treats him as a high school student. That’s not just in pro wrestling but in life too. Yuni is only going to get stronger from here so Dieno doesn’t want to see him get spoiled and pampered just because he is in high school. Yuni understands that and appreciates that Dieno treated him like a pro wrestler. He thinks today was a rite of passage for him on the way to winning the Extreme Title and also the KO-D Title while he is still in high school. Next up for Dieno is an unexpected opponent for 28th December. It was announced after the show he will face Great-O-Khan at Sumo Hall!
Thanks to Shunma Katsumata’s ACL injury the KO-D Tag Team Titles were vacated earlier this week and today’s title match was cancelled. The replacement match was still The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING but as a 6-Man Tag Match instead. Yuya Koroku was frustrated to have his title shot taken away from him so he wanted to make an example out of To-y. That ended up being a mistake. Thanks to some teamwork from Yuki Ueno & MAO, To-y ended up pinning Koroku with the Kojima Impact! Koroku couldn’t believe it but still said after the match he will not give up on chasing after the KO-D Tag Titles. To-y said he has just as many frustrations as Koroku because he was fighting for Katsumata when he really wants to win the KO-D Tag Title himself. The two argued about having a rematch until Hisaya Imabayashi came up with an idea. Tetsuya Endo & Koroku will face MAO & To-y at Sumo Hall with the vacant KO-D Tag Titles on the line! Endo talked down to Koroku backstage because he thought every point To-y made was right and he outperformed Koroku on the microphone. Of course wrestlers perform for the fans but they still need to have an ego because a pro wrestler in an embodiment of their ego. Meanwhile Yuki Iino talked about his upcoming match with Tomohiro Ishii on the 22nd December Korakuen show. He thinks Sumo Hall is where all of BURNING can regain their momentum going into the new year.
Akito wanted to have a match with Isami Kodaka for his 15th Anniversary because Kodaka was one of his seniors who helped him so much throughout his career. The two had a back and forth match that included a little trick from Akito where he used the ref as a shield. However Kodaka got the better of him by doing a Brainbuster and then pinning him down legs over shoulders to get the three count. Akito thanked him for the match and suggested they wrestle again for his 20th Anniversary. Kodaka said he would be on his 27th Anniversary by then so they should make the match the main event instead of putting it in the middle of the card.
There was a 6-Man Tag Match that was there to put the focus on Jun Akiyama Vs Yukio Naya but its attention was stolen away by the end of it. HARASHIMA & Tomomitsu Matsunaga did well to control Shinya Aoki until Aoki trapped Matsunaga in the Full Nelson Hold to get the three count. When the dust was settling, Akiyama and Naya had a staredown outside the ring, getting themselves ready for Sumo Hall. However Aoki then got on the microphone to talk about something completely different…
One of the many matches Aoki has been trying make happen this year is a bout against Kenoh from NOAH. Aoki told the fans in Korakuen Hall that on 1st January he will go to NOAH’s Budokan Hall show to have a match with Kenoh! That claim brought the actual Kenoh down to ringside where he angrily denied the match is going to happen. Aoki then asked him if they should have a match at DDT’s Sumo Hall show instead? Kenoh told him he would never climb back into DDT’s cheap and dirty ring. He respects the MMA version of Aoki but not the DDT version. He then ordered the NOAH rookie Yu Owada to have a match with Aoki right now! Aoki pinned Owada in seconds with the Full Nelson Hold. Then Keigo Nakamura got on the microphone asking to fight Kenoh for insulting the DDT fans. A brawl broke out between the four wrestlers and ended with Kenoh agreeing to a match at Sumo Hall. It will be Aoki & Nakamura against Kenoh & Owada!
Earlier in the day before the show began, Kazuki Hirata assaulted Yuki Ueno with a ring bell hammer to win back the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. He then brought the hammer with him to fight off his six opponents in the Handicap match put together to celebrate his 37th birthday. Since it was his birthday he said the match was No DQ so he was allowed to bash everyone over the head with the hammer. Ueno then returned and pleaded Hirata to stop because this isn’t how is usually behaves. To try and win Hirata back, Ueno put on the Hirata GO! glasses and got the other wrestlers to dance with him. Hirata saw the light and joined in… until Ueno put him in a Sleeper Hold and Yoshihiko pinned him with the Reincarnation to become the champion.
Hirata was still in the ring when the O-MENZ dancer Kumadori entered the ring to talk to him. He thinks Hirata is a good dancer so they should have a dance battle. But when it began Kumadori pushed Hirata down and showed off his breakdance moves. Hirata praised his skill and admitted he cannot beat him in either dancing or wrestling. He then offered to team up with Kumadori for the dancer’s debut at Sumo Hall. The two agreed and their match will be against Makoto Oishi & Akito.
DAMNATION T.A had a good day at Korakuen. There was the title defence in the main event and also a tag victory in the opener. Demus & Ilusion didn’t take long to beat Nakamura & Kazuma Sumi. It fell apart for the losing team when Nakamura aimed a Super Kick for Ilusion that was ducked and hit Sumi instead. Demus took the opportunity to pin Sumi with La Valagueza after that.
DDT usually makes their news announcements at the start of the show but today they waited until two matches were completed first. Sanshiro Takagi gave an update that he is not ready to return to the ring yet. However he still has a special idea to celebrate his 30th Anniversary in wrestling next year. He will be producing his own show at Shinjuku FACE called “NEVER SAY NEVER” but the catch is nobody under DDT contract will be booked for it. Instead he will rely on his connections with freelancers and wrestlers from other companies to fill up the card. The first match announced for the show is Toru Owashi & Dump Matsumoto Vs The Brahman Brothers! Takagi’s goal is to come up with an unbelievable card of matches.
The NωA idol project is back with Oishi’s handpicked members deciding on their new group name. Katsumata, Yuni & Sumi will now be called NωA Jr. whenever they perform together as idols. Their debut song and CD will be unveiled at Sumo Hall. Sumi admitted he hasn’t practiced the song yet but he’s still all set for the debut.
Yesterday came the sad news that Yusuke Okada was going to retire from pro wrestling. He is still recovering from his cancer and is unable to get back to the condition needed to start wrestling again. Today is officially the date of his retirement and he got to give a speech to the fans during the show. He told the fans his treatment is going well and he is feeling fine but he thought about this decision a lot. He wrestled for 8 years and 4 of them were with DDT. He has met the best teammates and fans and will support DDT as a fan himself from now on. Takagi and Akiyama presented him with bouquets of flowers and Okada met with many wrestlers outside the ring for his exit. Included among them were Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai, Kazusada Higuchi and Naomi Yoshimura. Backstage Okada said he would like to still be involved with DDT in some way.
DDT announced they will be part of two shows at Las Vegas next April for The Collective during Wrestlemania Week. “DDT GOES LAS VEGAS!” will be held on 18th April (same day as the Tokyo Joshi Pro show) and “DDT VS TJPW VS GCW” will be on the 19th.

5. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Final: Toga Vs Haru Kazashiro
6. Rika Tatsumi & Arisu Endo Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
7. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Shazza McKenzie
The winner of the Next Generation Tournament will get a title match of their choice as the prize. Miu Watanabe is currently waiting to see who will emerge as her 4th January Princess Of Princess Title opponent. 121000000 are also currently without any contenders for the Princess Tag Team Titles in Japan. The timing of the final taking place beneath an International Princess Title main event is notable too. It could be a big day for Toga or Haru Kazashiro to win the tournament final and then reappear at the end of the show to call out one of the champions.
The other six wrestlers who competed in the tournament will be taking part in a 6-Woman Tag Match.
Both Haruna Neko and Pom Harajuku debuted in November 2018 so they are celebrating their anniversaries together in the same match. Mahiro Kiryu is from the same class as them (HiSPC) but didn’t debut until February 2019. The other two members from that class were YUMI (retired) and Himawari Unagi (now known as Sayaka Unagi).

7. DDT Extreme Title – You’re Still A Cinderella As You Climb The Ladder To Adulthood Rules: Danshoku Dieno (c) Vs Yuni
The DDT Extreme Title match will periodically go into “Cinderella Time” where Danshoku Dieno will be instantly disqualified if he does any of his Danshoku moves on Yuni. When “Cinderella Time” is inactive, Dieno is allowed to wrestle like he normally does. The match must have a winner and cannot be called off as a No Contest.
The next SCHADENFREUDE International Vs DAMNATION T.A battle will now have the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles on the line.
The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title is no longer part of the Dieno Vs Yuni match because Kazuki Hirata is now the latest champion. That means he will likely defend it in the 7-on-1 Handicap Match.

Dramatic DDT
