9. Double Main Event I – Shosho Kogyo Presents Special Tag Match ~ Infinite Stimulation Anniversary: Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes defeated HARASHIMA & Shinya Aoki when Brookes pinned HARASHIMA with a Modified Samson Clutch (16:44).
10. Double Main Event II – Special Tag Match ~ A Ruthless Giant That Blocks The World Guide Us To Our Dreams Blooming Flower: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Yuki Ueno defeated Jun Akiyama & Shuji Ishikawa when Takeshita pinned Ishikawa with the Raging Fire (22:29).
For the second year in a row, Yukinori Matsui’s annual Osaka show was headlined by Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno teaming up together. This time around they took on a more honorable set of opponents, Jun Akiyama & Shuji Ishikawa. Although as soon as Takeshita and Ishikawa face off to start the match, Ishikawa quickly knocked down his opponent with a big Elbow Strike. He also gave Ueno a Giant Swing outside the ring throwing his into the front row of abandoned chairs. Akiyama also wrestled more aggressively but Takeshita launched a comeback that included giving Ishikawa a Superplex. He combined the Jumping Knee with Ueno’s Dropkick to knock over Ishikawa and then Ueno did a Moonsault onto Akiyama outside the ring. Ishikawa was able to kick out of the Wagamama but Takeshita lifted him up for the Raging Fire and dropped him back down to get the win. Both Takeshita & Ueno showed their gratitude to Matsui after the match.
The other big match for the show involved Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes teaming up again as SchadenTekkers (with matching purple gear between them) to take on HARASHIMA & Shinya Aoki. It would be the first time Sabre and Aoki got to wrestle each other. That confrontation was not enough to determine who was beter. Instead Brookes got the result by pinning HARASHIMA with a Samson Clutch. Aoki wished he could have gotten to fight Sabre for a little longer. Sabre suggested they have a singles match together the next time they meet. He also called Aoki one of the best submission wrestlers he has ever fought.
A ringside chairshot from Dick Togo stunned Shunma Katsumata and left him vulnerable to Hideki Okatani to finish him off.
KANON was made into the target of everyone’s comedy in Match #6. That meant he was the one tricked to hop in the air while nobody else joined him. MAO and KIMIHIRO then got into dueling Figure 4 Leg Locks with Kuishinbo Kamen & Kikutaro, leaving KANON out in the cold. When the four of them all got caught in the holds, KANON simply rolled them all over so he could put both Kamen & Kikutaro in a Camel Clutch. He got both of them to then give up. He doesn’t understand why he had to go through that in Osaka today but he admitted it was fun.
Kyoto indie wrestler Hiroaki Taniguchi came in as a substitute for the injured Masami Inahata in Match #5.
The mixed rules fight between Bushimasa and Tyson Maeguchi was a two round contest. The first round was MMA rules that lasted for three minutes. Then the second round was Tyre Boxing Rules where a tyre was placed in the middle of the ring and they had to fight while keeping one foot each inside the tyre hole. Maeguchi punched Bushimasa out of the tyre three times to earn a TKO style victory.
Ilusion had something of a trial by fire in his match. He often got himself isolated away from Magnitude Kishiwada & MJ Paul then had to find ways to get to safety. However he successfully Low Blowed both CIMA & Akito while Kishiwada took care of Yasu Urano. Ilusion then got the last laugh by getting the pin with the Swanton Bomb.
The 4 Vs 1 Handicap match had to be restarted because Hisaya Imabayashi wasn’t happy to see Yuto Kikuchi win it so easily. Kikuchi ended up giving him a Low Blow late in the rematch before winning again the second time.
It was a packed house for the show but that caused a little bit of a problem. While Sanshiro Takagi was giving the show opening speech, Keiko Takeshita (Konosuke’s mom) was seen walking around the venue looking for her seat. Takagi and Imabayashi invited her into the ring to say hello to the fans but she ended up attacking them with chops to the chest instead. Matsui tried to stop her because she was ruining the start of his show again just like last year. She gave him the Rainmaker and finished off the opening call by herself.

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.

5. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & Shinya Aoki Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
6. Special 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda
The card has been changed around a bit because Akito has aggravated an old injury of his and will not be at the show tomorrow. Tomomitsu Matsunaga will come in to take his place.
A big task awaits for Takeshi Masada. It’s bad enough he pissed off Minoru Suzuki when he challenged him for the DDT Universal Title but before that match happens he also has to deal with Shinya Aoki in the meantime.
Yuki Iino will be hold an emergency press conference at the show tomorrow. I don’t expect the news to be drastic like him leaving the company anytime soon just because he’s already in the middle of a storyline and holds a few prizes that DDT would need take off of him if he was to leave for somewhere else. Maybe he just wants to announce when he is cashing in his title shot.

The addition of KANON to the Enter Sandman Match also means KIMIHIRO will be getting involved too. If there was ever a time for someone to try rapping over Metallica, this would be it.
Another match where Masada has to fight Aoki. That better sharpen him up for Suzuki pretty good.

On the same day this show happens, Shoko Nakajima and Yuki Kamifuku will be wrestling each other for the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title over in America. When MLW made the decision to book that match, Tokyo Joshi Pro came up with an idea to have the other halves Kyoraku Kyomei and Ober Eats face each other back in Japan. That means Hyper Misao and Wakana Uehara are going to clash one on one in an international buildup for the Princess Tag Team Titles!
One of the novelties that happen when TJPW come to Arisu Endo’s hometown is the local mascots get involved in the show. Akabe and Kappa Green have both featured on these shows in the past but never at the same time. Until next weekend that is.

Preparations for the upcoming Iron Fist Tag Tournament are in full gear at the next BASARA show. Takeru Inoue and Tomoki Hatano will be teaming up for the tournament but they will wrestle each other here first. Several other teams will be in action too.
At the last show Masato Kamino teamed up with WizRYU under a mask as Body Slam Machine. Now Gouma Ryu had nothing to do with that but the new unit is named after him so he better be careful if Takato Nakano thinks he is taking away his Aijin Tag partner.
Daichi Kazato gets his wish to team up with Guts Ishijima. His tournament partner Ryota Nakatsu is on the team too so at least there is someone normal there for Ishijima to get along with.
DDT “CHARISMANIAxMANIAxMANIA”, 02/10/2025 Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. TOGO FAMILY Vs DDT: Dick Togo, Yasu Urano, KUBITO & Diego Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ueno, HARASHIMA & Akito
2. Daisuke Sasaki 20th Anniversary Match: Daisuke Sasaki & El Desperado Vs Shuji Ishikawa & Antonio Honda
At the moment it’s unclear is Daisuke Sasaki’s rib injury will force him out of his own show. But at least on the undercard we get Dick Togo summoning several of his proteges together for a big tag match against DDT’s all stars.

One of their opponents is Shuji Ishikawa, formerly “The Big Dog” for Sasaki when the original DAMNATION was formed. He will be teaming with Antonio Honda.
Also booked for the show are the rest of DAMNATION T.A plus a few others. They are Dick Togo, Minoru Fujita, Hideki Okatani, Ilusion, MJ Paul and Diego.
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.

The last of the Tokyo Princess Cup 1st Round preliminary matches take place here. The delayed Wakana Uehara Vs Kira Summer bout finally goes ahead while Toga clashes with Ivy Steele.
Mifu Ashida will miss the show due to a scheduling conflict.

All the fun and games from the last show are now out of the way. Now we’ll see how BASARA’s new management will handle something a bit more serious. Takeru Inoue is back from his dislocated right elbow injury. If he beats the new president Ryota Nakatsu it could immediately launch him into getting the Union MAX Title shot at Korakuen Hall later this year.
1. Special Single Match: Mr. Bueno Vs Dark King Ueki
2. Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda Vs Munek & Ram Kaichow
3. King Of Square: MAO Vs X
4. BK-G Openweight Title: Mr. Malo (c) Vs X
Another BK-G Openweight Title defence is coming up for Mr. Malo but he won’t know who his challenger is until they show up. In a similar bit, MAO is also going to face a mystery wrestler to prove who is the most square shaped fighter around. I heard rumours that Dr. Cube was spotted somewhere in Japan causing fights in bars over the weekend but it just turned out to be Zack Sabre Jr. in disguise.
We’re going to see what it’s like for Ram Kaichow to fight under the control of Dark King Ueki and Munek. She’s been able to wrestle in other places pretty normally (if what she does can be called normal) ever since they trapped her soul, to the point that until she saw the match announcement she forgot she’s supposed to be on their side. Must be pretty relaxing when you forget you’re supposed to be someone’s prisoner.

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?

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.

9. Shosho Kogyo Co., Ltd. Presents Special Tag Match ~Sakuyakonohana Dramatic Dreams Vs Superhuman Teacher & Student Wrestling Masters~: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Yuki Ueno defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Dick Togo when Ueno pinned Sasaki with the WR (26:59).
The annual Osaka show put together by referee Yukinori Matsui took place today with Konosuke Takeshita’s return to DDT as the headline match. He teamed up with his friend and rival Yuki Ueno to fight the master and student pairing of Dick Togo & Daisuke Sasaki. Togo acted like his normal self for the match rather than his House Of Torture persona and while Sasaki did fight a little dirty at points it was mostly a clean and competitive match between the two sides. An exposed turnbuckle made the most impact by coming into play late in the match. Togo & Sasaki both put their opponents in the Crossface Lock only for Takeshita & Ueno to grab each other by the hands and power out of the holds. Takeshita blocked Togo from doing the Diving Senton onto Ueno and when Togo gave him a Dropkick, Takeshita hit back with a Knee Strike that led to both of them going out of the ring. Sasaki tried to finish off Ueno himself but got a Dropkick to the face and was then pinned with the WR.
Ueno welcomed Takeshita back after the match, reminding him it’s been three years since they last teamed together. Takeshita thinks a lot of people who came to the show today know him more for his New Japan matches than his DDT career so he explained his backstory with Ueno to the fans. He doesn’t know if or when there will be a next time they are in the ring together so he told Ueno they will always be each other’s classmates. Matsui said the match was so amazing that it made him laugh. Togo wanted to shake Matsui’s hand but it was just a trap and he gave him the Pedigree before leaving. Ueno then thanked the fans for coming to the show.
Could we be seeing more of Kohei Kinoshita in the future? He recently announced he will be leaving Dove Pro in August but hasn’t said what his plans are going to be after that. Chris Brookes beat him today in a non-title match but could he be sending some signals out by having a good performance against the KO-D Openweight Champion?
Match #5 went off the deep end because of No Name. She took both Kikutaro and Kuishinbo Kamen away from the ring backstage and after a few moments some screaming could be heard coming from their direction. No Name then returned to the ring carrying their decapitated heads! Everyone else in the match fainted from shock including Matsui. No Name ran off with the heads and Daisuke Kiso had to call off the match. Antonio Honda, Shunma Katsumata and Ram Kaichow all recovered afterwards and helped Matsui regain consciousness by kicking him.
Takeshita’s mother Keiko Takeshita was in attendance and even interrupted the opening speeches. When Matsui tried to stop her she gave him a Lariat and the Rainmaker.
