A Block

1. Tetsuya Endo (4)
2. Yuki Ueno (2)
-. Bodyguard (2)
-. Yuji Hino (2)
5. Naomi Yoshimura (0)
-. Jun Akiyama (0)

B Block

1. Konosuke Takeshita (3)
-. Yuji Okabayashi (3)
3. Chris Brookes (2)
-. MAO (2)
-. Kazusada Higuchi (2)
6. HARASHIMA (0)

Day 3 of the D-Ou Grand Prix was headlined by the rematch between close friends Konosuke Takeshita and Chris Brookes. The two of them know each other well at this point so Takeshita added an extra twist to his German Suplex. Once he landed the move, Takeshita bridged himself over Brookes to pin him Rolling Leg Cradle style for the victory. The two shook hands after the match. Takeshita faces MAO next and he invites his buddy to come and get him with the Koppojutsu martial art! Brookes lost but still feels satisfied with his performance. He feels refreshed enough to take on his remaining opponents. He’ll do his best against Yuji Okabayashi and also has some assurance because Okabayashi couldn’t beat Takeshita.

The person Okabayashi was able to beat today was MAO. The wrestling style that is both truth and fiction was defeated by raw strength but the match turned out to be closer than it looked on paper. Even though MAO lost he still can’t help but smile afterwards. He wouldn’t be MAO if he wasn’t smiling. He thinks the only way he can get through Takeshita is with Koppojutsu. Okabayashi sent a message to Brookes that he will break him with his power on Wednesday.

A homecoming match is where the hometown hero gets to be the big, brave hero in front of his people. Super Sasadango Machine instead tried to cheat by tying Jun Akiyama’s foot to the corner post with string when he wasn’t looking. It worked for a little while but once Akiyama untied himself Sasadango knew he was in trouble. But he found the guts to fight Akiyama, even losing his mask in the process. All that bravery went away when Akiyama grabbed him to set up the Exploder Suplex. Sasadango instead gave up before Akiyama could throw him.

Tetsuya Endo has been building up his match with Naomi Yoshimura threatening to break his legs. Why? Because Yoshimura joked on Twitter that Endo has skinny legs. Endo targeted those limbs but Yoshimura had the strength to power through the pain. Endo had to play it tricky to win. He rolled Yoshimura over with a School Boy then when Yoshimura kicked out, Endo rolled him fully over in the other direction and got the three count. Endo calls this move the SKP. It stands for School Boy Kubikatame Persuasive. Makoto Oishi helped come up with the name. Endo now has Akiyama waiting for him. He promises to beat him fair and square.

The Niigata audience got a big Pheromones entrance. Danshoku Dieno drove his car into the venue right up to the ring. He then opened up the car boot where Yuki Iino jumped out. Toui Kojima was thrown into the car and Iino joined him inside to continue embarrassing him. Unfortunately for Iino he was the legal man against Antonio Honda and he got counted out.

November 6, 2021

DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2021 II IN YOKOHAMA”, 06/11/2021
Yokohama Radiant Hall
150 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

7. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – A Block: Yuji Hino (2) defeated Jun Akiyama (0) with the Fuckin’ BOMB (19:44).

1. Yuki Ueno (2)
-. Tetsuya Endo (2)
-. Bodyguard (2)
-. Yuji Hino (2)
5. Naomi Yoshimura (0)
-. Jun Akiyama (0)

B Block

1. Chris Brookes (2)
-. MAO (2)

4. Konosuke Takeshita (1)
-. Yuji Okabayashi (1)
6. HARASHIMA (0)

Two heavyweights collided in the main event of the second D-Ou Grand Prix show. Jun Akiyama was dragged into a battle of raw power that he could not win, no matter how many Knee Strikes and Exploder Suplexes he did. He tried targeting Yuji Hino’s arm as well but it didn’t stop Hino from throwing Lariat after Lariat until he pinned Akiyama with the Fuckin’ BOMB. Hino said he was so focused on today’s match that he didn’t realize it was the main event. He thinks Akiyama is a great legend and he fought his heart out today, which Hino appreciates. The world is opening up again but Hino still wants the fans to play it safe and be careful so they can cheer loudly at shows again soon. Akiyama did not give any comment after the match.

The tension that formed between Naomi Yoshimura and Bodyguard at opening day led to an evenly matched bout between them. A Right High Kick was the difference maker and Bodyguard won his first D-Ou match. It was a move Bodyguard was counting on to combat Yoshimura’s youth. He might need it again because Hino is his next opponent on 10th November. Yoshimura admitted he didn’t perform well today. He also has to face Tetsuya Endo tomorrow. Endo warned he will break Yoshimura’s thick legs. Yoshimura doesn’t think that is possible because he has never gotten a leg injury before.

Chris Brookes is on the table with his first win while HARASHIMA is now zero for two. Brookes caught the Somato and countered it into La Magistral Cradle but HARASHIMA got a rope break. Brookes then countered another Somato into a Samson Clutch to get the three count from out of nowhere. Brookes said afterwards he hurt his shoulder during the match and is piling up minor injuries in his neck and fingers. His remaining matches in Block B aren’t just fights, they are now hard fights. HARASHIMA said he wasn’t careless in the ring but he still lost and that is all that matters. There is still a chance HARASHIMA can get back in track and he believes he is in great shape, so he will continue giving it his all.

The Koppojutsu training is already paying off for MAO. Now I’m no martial arts expert so I don’t know if Planchas and Moonsaults are Koppojutsu skills. But what MAO did do that was new is spike Kazusada Higuchi’s head into the mat with a Headscissors and then kept in a tight squeeze with his knees until Higuchi fainted. MAO said the win is a fluke but that’s his entire goal. His wrestling style is now a mixture of lies and sincerity, falsehood and reality, truth and fiction. He is mixing together three things that don’t mix at all: Japanese lucha, British wrestling and Koppojutsu. He is leaving it all up to chance in this tournament and that includes his next match against Yuji Okabayashi. Higuchi gets what MAO is doing. It sounds like nonsense but MAO has clearly thought it through and Higuchi gives credit for beating him.

Soma Takao approached DAMNATION T.A again after their match but Daisuke Sasaki Super Kicked him and attacked him with a chair. Sasaki got on the microphone and told Takao to stay away from DAMNATION T.A because he is only making them less valuable. He now wants Hisaya Imabayashi to take care of this so Takao will leave them alone. Takao says he just wants to talk to Sasaki so it’s strange that Sasaki always attacks him with a chair.

Match #2 was a big one for Toui Kojima. He’s been appealing to join The 37KAMIINA for ages and today is the first time he is wrestling them since he came back from injury. Kojima eagerly fought Konosuke Takeshita and even gave him the Full Nelson Buster. But Shunma Katsumata dashed the rookie’s hopes and pinned him with the Totonoe Splash. After the match Kojima pleaded with The 37KAMIINA to let him join them because he recently won his first match in Ota Ward Gymnasium. Katsumata liked the idea but Yuki Ueno wasn’t convinced, citing Yuki Ishida being the person Kojima pinned in that match. Kojima pushed that a win is a win and being in The 37KAMIINA will make him stronger. Ueno changed his mind and said he felt Kojima’s motivation back when he dislocated his elbow. Takeshita then shook his hand to confirm Toui Kojima is now a member of The 37KAMIINA! MAO didn’t find out until the entire group got together for a post-show interview. He just stared at Kojima and asked why is he here? The others explained and MAO welcomed Kojima after his confusion went away.

Kazuki Hirata tried to roll up Akito for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title after the opening match. Akito kicked out and escaped with the belt.

8. D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II – B Block: Konosuke Takeshita (1) Vs Yuji Okabayashi (1) ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).

A Block

1. Yuki Ueno (2)
-. Tetsuya Endo (2)
3. Naomi Yoshimura (0)
-. Bodyguard (0)
-. Jun Akiyama (0)
-. Yuji Hino (0)

B Block

1. Kazusada Higuchi (2)
2. Konosuke Takeshita (1)
-. Yuji Okabayashi (1)
4. Chris Brookes (0)
-. MAO (0)
-. HARASHIMA (0)

The first four matches in the D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II took place inside Ota Ward Gymnasium. In the main event Konosuke Takeshita was taken to the limit by Yuji Okabayashi until the time expired. The Plus Ultra and German Suplex couldn’t put Okabayashi. But on the other hand the Golem Splash and Argentine Backbreaker wasn’t enough to beat Takeshita either. Takeshita was fighting to apply the Plus Ultra once more when the bell rang and the match ended in a draw. Takeshita is pleased with the result because he wanted to test his current power. He concluded that he is in great shape and has become a stronger wrestler. It was a contest of strength and Takeshita believes he went all out in Ota Ward today. Now he wants a rematch with Okabayashi and he thinks winning the D-Ou GP will make that happen. It could also happen in a tiebreaker if there is a tie for 1st place in their block. Okabayashi is frustrated over what happened. He doesn’t lose power struggles inside the ring that often. He promises to win the rest of the tournament and crush Takeshita whenever they cross paths again.

Today went exactly how Yuki Ueno imagined it would go. He expected the Knee Strikes, the Front Neck Lock and the Exploder Suplexes. After a perfectly placed Dropkick to the face, Ueno used the WR to beat Jun Akiyama! Everything went right for Ueno which makes him thinks this edition of the D-Ou GP will be a very good tournament for him. Akiyama accepts the result and the situation. It didn’t matter how much of the match he controlled, he still lost in the end. It can’t be helped if he has a target on his back for the younger generation to aim for.

The question going into Tetsuya Endo Vs Yuji Hino was whether or not Endo could give his larger opponent the Torture Rack Bomb. It took some effort but he was finally able to deliver the move. However the move took something out of him too and a delayed pin allowed Hino to kick out at two. Endo had to change his plan and attempted the Canadian Destroyer. Hino blocked the move but Endo then suddenly Cradled him and held him down for dear life to get the three count. Now that DAMNATION is gone, Endo said today is the first step towards becoming the top wrestler in DDT again. He thinks DDT wouldn’t be fun if he wasn’t on top. His next opponent is Naomi Yoshimura. Endo revealed that the two knew each other before Yoshimura joined DDT. He used to tease Endo all the time for having skinny legs. Endo promises he will break Yoshimura’s legs for revenge! Hino is immediately moving on from this loss to focus on his next opponent, Jun Akiyama.

The rivalry between HARASHIMA and Kazusada Higuchi resurfaced once more. At first HARASHIMA targeted his Higuchi’s legs but the match turned into the two throwing bombs at each other. HARASHIMA went for the big finish by doing a Springboard but Higuchi caught him in the Brain Claw. That by itself couldn’t win the match so Higuchi turned it into a big Brain Claw Slam to earn the victory. For Higuchi the win is another step forward. It builds his confidence and makes him think he will win the D-Ou GP. HARASHIMA is sorry he lost but believes he is still in great shape for the rest of the tournament.

The Hardcore Tag Match was carnage for the plastic boxes getting destroyed all over the place. MAO gave a shoutout to Speedball Mike Bailey by doing the Ultima Weapon onto Chris Brookes. He then stapled a Wrestle Universe advert onto Drew Parker’s forehead. Brookes did the same to him. Shunma Katsumata then took it further by stapling an ad onto Parker’s tongue. Parker fought back with a dart but Katsumata shoved it back into his mouth and pierced it through Parker’s cheek! Katsumata & MAO then tried the NepoWER Shower but Brookes got out of the way, leaving them to crash into more boxes. Parker put MAO through a table with the Swanton Bomb and then hit the Spiral Tap on Katsumata. He and Brookes then finished Katsumata off with a Super Power Bomb onto more plastic boxes. Parker greeted the DDT fans afterwards and gave his support to Brookes for the D-Ou GP.

Match #3 fell apart after an accidental ref bump caused by Yoshimura. He & Bodyguard were able to Double Choke Slam MJ Paul. Then Daisuke Sasaki brought a chair into the ring and he lured Yoshimura into Clotheslining Bodyguard by accident. Soma Takao then ran in and attacked Sasaki while Yoshimura & Bodyguard started fighting each other. Yukinori Matsui regained consciousness and saw chaos in the ring so he called off the match. It just so happens that Yoshimura and Bodyguard are facing each other in the D-Ou GP this Saturday. That’s convenient. Takao still wants an explanation from Sasaki as to why he turned his back on him. Sasaki thinks Takao is now working for Ganbare☆Pro and wants security to do a better job keeping wrestlers from other places invading DDT.

Saki Akai & Masahiro Takanashi were joined by Yukio Sakaguchi for their match. There wasn’t the same level of harmony for Chihiro Hashimoto & Yukio Naya. The finish saw Hashimoto grabbing Takanashi to do the Albright German Suplex. Then due to a lot of scrambling in the ring, Hashimoto ended up giving the Albright to her tag partner instead. Takanashi then pinned Naya to steal the win. Despite the result, Hashimoto wants to come back and wrestle Akai again. Akai will be wrestling at Sendai Girls on 23rd November so they can sort something out there is Akai wants to.

You’ll need more than handcuffs to stop Pheromones from their antics. Sanshiro Takagi’s plans couldn’t prevent them from becoming the new KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions. Takagi brought out the Dramatic Dream bike to drill into his opponents. Danshoku Dieno took out Shinya Aoki with the Lip Lock. He then got into the Hell Gate position and Yumehito Imanari sprayed fire extinguisher through it into Yusuke Okada. Imanari then handcuffed Okada and left him vulnerable for Yuki Iino’s Sexy Lariat for the finish. Dieno told the “Pheromaniacs” that the unit now cannot be disbanded and they will continue to take everyone to their land of dreams!

The show began with Kenta Kobashi introducing the D-Ou GP entries and receiving the trophy from the previous winner Akiyama. He declared the D-Ou Grand Prix open and watched the matches from the broadcast table. He praised the four tournament matches today and thinks the rest of the tournament will be just as good.

There were three pre-show matches including a title bout. The KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles changed hands when Team Olympian lost to Toru Owashi and the so-called DDT Variety Team. Both teams agreed to No Tag Rules for the match to keep the action going. The big highlight was the first time meeting of Yoshiaki Yatsu and Yoshihiko that ended with Yatsu putting the doll in the Prison Lock until Antonio Honda broke it up. Yoshihiko then flew out of the ring after Hiroshi Yamato gave Kazuki Hirata a German Suplex. Akito & Keigo Nakamura focused on Hirata until Yoshihiko came back in for the rescue. Their teamwork together was the difference maker and Hirata pinned Nakamura after an assisted Reincarnation from Yoshihiko. Honda said there are a lot of units in DDT now but if they can get rid of those groups one by one then they can climb up the card all the way up to the main event! Backstage Yatsu was impressed by the depth of Yoshihiko’s abilities.

Takao had a friendlier time in the ring with Baliyan Akki than he did with DAMNATION T.A. Akki put up a good fight by hitting a No Touch Topé Suicida and the Namaste Press. But Takao caught him in the Official Endless Waltz to wear him out and get the three count.

Toui Kojima is back and the new generation of DDT is complete again. Even better for Kojima, he got his first win too. Yuya Koroku and Hideki Okatani kept each other busy so it came down to Kojima and the newest rookie Yuki Ishida. Kojima used a Full Nelson Buster to beat him. Now that his elbows are completely healed, Kojima is going back to his goal of joining The 37KAMIINA!

Pheromones are getting sick and tired of their matches getting stopped before they reach their intended climax. Thanks to some manipulation towards the GM Hisaya Imabayashi, they got their KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles to now be under No DQ rules. It also cannot be called off for any reason related to the team’s inappropriate behaviour.

The Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuki Arai match that was originally meant to happen in August is now taking place in November. Arai is looking forward to it but Tatsumi slapped her across the face.

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN TOKYO DOME RETURNS” Results

October 31, 2021

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN TOKYO DOME RETURNS ~DDT TOKYO DOME CUP~”, 31/10/2021
Tokyo Dome
0 Fans

1. 5,000,000 Yen DDT TOKYO DOME CUP – Gauntlet 8-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata, Yuki Ueno & MAO defeated Chris Brookes, Brahman Shu, Brahman Kei & Gorgeous Matsuno, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari & Tetsuya “Hercules” Endo, Miyu Yamashita, Hikari Noa, Maki Itoh & Hyper Misao and Kouzi, Shinya Aoki, Kazusada Higuchi & Kazuki Hirata.

1b. Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata, Yuki Ueno & MAO defeated Miyu Yamashita, Hikari Noa, Maki Itoh & Hyper Misao when Katsumata pinned Misao with the Totonoe Splash onto a Chair (15:38).
1c. Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata, Yuki Ueno & MAO defeated Kouzi, Shinya Aoki, Kazusada Higuchi & Kazuki Hirata when Ueno pinned Hirata after a Missed Headbutt from Kouzi (6:20).
1d. Wrestleball: Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata, Yuki Ueno & MAO (4x) defeated Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari & Tetsuya “Hercules” Endo (3) when Takeshita pinned Imanari with the German Suplex.

After over four years away, DDT made its return to the world famous Tokyo Dome for its second empty arena show in the venue. This time the visit was to crown the winners of the first ever DDT TOKYO DOME CUP. 5 million yen was put on the line with 5 teams competing in total. When The 37KAMIINA entered the field first the format was revealed to be a Gauntlet match. They complained about the unfair disadvantage of being the first team but they kept quiet when Hisaya Imabayashi handed them a million yen in cash. The voice of Azusa Takigawa explained over the speakers that every team is given a million yen. The winners of each round would then take the losers’ money until the entire prize pot was filled. Chris Brookes, The Brahman Brothers and Gorgeous Matsuno then entered the field and handed over their money to start the match.

The two teams brawled around the baseball diamond. Brookes attempted to do an Old School walk across the fence but Konosuke Takeshita knocked him off it. The 37KAMIINA held each of their opponents in a Headlock on all four bases and all charged into the pitcher’s mound to give their opponents one big meeting of the minds. An Estrella chain was formed while Yuki Ueno countered the Praying Mantis Bomb into a Hurricanrana on Brookes for a nearfall. The Brahmans brought out their wacky weapons and gathered their opponents onto home base where they bowled a spare on them (Brahman Shu’s first bowl missed and hit Brahman Kei in the foot). Brookes leapt over Takeshita & Ueno to give MAO a Cutter. Matsuno took over and attempted to Power Bomb MAO but it was blocked. The Brahmans ran in with an electric drill but missed MAO and caught Matsuno in the groin with it instead. Brookes threw powder but MAO ducked that too and Matsuno took the damage again. MAO laid The Brahmans’ traffic sign underneath Matsuno and Curb Stomped him into it for the win.

The 37KAMIINA now had 2,000,000 yen and walked up the stands to meet their next opponents. Along the way Saki Akai appeared working as a beer seller. Shunma Katsumata asked for a beer and Akai told him it would cost 2 million yen. When Katsumata said that’s too expensive Akai called him a poor man, kicked him in the face and walked off looking for more customers.

The next team entering the Gauntlet appeared in the concourse area. It was the Tokyo Joshi Pro team! Hyper Misao carried a protest sign accusing The 37KAMIINA of lying about their love for saunas. They’re just cashing in on the rising popularity of the sauna industry and secretly hates saunas! She then pulled out a straw doll and began attacking it, committing a voodoo spell on Katsumata that worked. Ueno turned the spell against Misao and made her writhe in pain by twisting the doll in her direction. Misao stopped the spell by blinding Ueno with a spray and throwing him into a nearby trash can. Maki Itoh attacked MAO in the stands and called for the Cutest Knuckle Punch In The World to the empty Tokyo Dome. She then attempted the Gran Naniwa Crab Walk across a railing but was next to a column and had no room to complete the move. Hikari Noa took out a Barbwire Baseball Bat and Katsumata brought over a toy bat covered in Lego for a duel between the two. Their fight left a mess of Lego all over the floor. That left Takeshita facing off with Miyu Yamashita in a clash between the two champions of DDT and Tokyo Joshi. Yamashita kicked him good but was thrown chin first into a railing. She got angry and threw more kicks at The 37KAMIINA until MAO showed up challenging her to a martial arts face off. The two had a tense staredown that ended when MAO made Yamashita flinch and then punched her while her guard was down. Noa ran in holding a ladder over her head and shoulders, spinning around and knocking her opponents away. Takeshita stopped the spinning and Katsumata hit the ladder with a chair, leaving Noa in a stunned state. Yamashita was ready to charge back in when suddenly Misao cycled into the scene on a bike and crashed right into a castle of chairs! MAO smashed a plastic box over Itoh’s head but she no sold it. Her head finally took damage when MAO blocked the Kokeshi Headbutt with a chair. MAO then gave Itoh a Package Piledriver onto a stack of chairs. Finally, Katsumata laid Misao onto a pile of Chairs and hit the Totonoe Splash off of a scaffold for the three count. The 37KAMIINA now have 3 million yen.

The next round was taking place in the bullpen but on the way over, everyone bumped into Saki Akai again. Katsumata again tried to buy a beer but now Akai told him it would cost 3 million yen. He said the price is a ripoff so Akai kicked him down the stairway.

Waiting in the bullpen were Shinya Aoki, Kazusada Higuchi & Kazuki Hirata. They had a mystery partner too and it was revealed to be the RIZIN fighter Kouzi! The match started in the bullpen but moved over to the outfield. Higuchi threw MAO into the wall with a BT Bomb. Aoki’s team then all put The 37KAMIINA in submission holds when all of a sudden, the lights went out. They came back on and Yoshihiko was there standing above them in the seats! It did a dive from the balcony onto everyone below. It then caught Aoki in an Armbar until Hirata broke them apart. Yoshihiko challenged Kouzi to a fight but it was defeated with a combo that ended in a High Kick. Hirata praised Kouzi but then knocked him out with the Tegatana strike. The Hirata GO! glasses were pulled out and Hirata started dancing until Ueno Dropkicked him. Kouzi called for his special move and charged in for a Headbutt (Kouzi has a reputation for headbutting opponents in his fights, whether it’s always accidental is up for debate). Ueno dodged it and Hirata took the blow, leading him to get pinned. Imabayashi interviewed Kouzi after the round to see if he enjoyed the experience. Kouzi said it was a lot of fun and he is already prepared to transfer from RIZIN to DDT so he can continue doing it!

While everyone was getting into place for the final round, a VIP ceremonial first pitch was held back on the field. The first surprise was Jun Akiyama entering to the pitcher’s mound. The second surprise was Kenta Kobashi stepping up to the plate ready to bat! Akiyama threw a dangerous ball at Kobashi, causing a fight to nearly break out between them for the first time in the Tokyo Dome since 2004! Cooler heads prevailed and the two shook hands before introducing the final round.

Pheromones entered the field alongside Tetsuya Endo who for one night only was part of their antics as Tetsuya “Hercules” Endo. The entire prize pot of 5,000,000 yen was now complete and the final would be held under special rules. DDT is combining pro wrestling and baseball together to create Wrestleball! They play baseball and score runs by pinning their opponents on the way to the bases. It didn’t really make much sense and only got more crazy from there. Pheromones scored three points during an inning that involved Yuki Iino doing the Sexy Elbow on his opponents after hitting a home run, Endo getting his shorts pulled down and Danshoku Dieno committing “Brazilian Flatulence” by spraying a CO2 canister from between his legs onto everyone while two samba dancers performed beside him. The 37KAMIINA went into the final inning needing to score 4 runs to win. They got the bases loaded despite some bad swinging from Takeshita & Ueno. The score got tied when Katsumata, Ueni & MAO all ran home. Dieno & Iino were left incapacitated thanks to a Lip Lock gone wrong. Takeshita ran his way round the bases but Endo stood in his way, still with his backside exposed. Endo went for a Hip Attack but Takeshita caught him with an Atomic Drop and knocked him into the air with a Lariat. All that was left was to reach home base. Takeshita sprinted over, hit Yumehito Imanari with the Zahi and German Suplexed him onto home plate for the winning run. The 37KAMIINA wins the DDT TOKYO DOME CUP!

But that wasn’t the end because there was one more surprise for everyone. The 5 million yen is a rewards for one person only so now The 37KAMIINA had to fight each other to claim the prize for themselves! Katsumata got a Triple Super Kick from his partners and the other three fought amongst themselves. Hisaya Imabayashi watched on until a member of the Tokyo Dome management approached him. He was told the show has gone on past the agreed time and DDT now has to pay an extension fee of 5,000,000 yen! Imabayashi hurriedly paid management the entire prize money while The 37KAMIINA continued fighting each other, oblivious that the prize was now gone.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TOUR 2021 IN CHIBA” Results

October 30, 2021

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TOUR 2021 IN CHIBA”, 30/10/2021
Chiba 2AW Square
118 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Chris Brookes & Keigo Nakamura defeated Akito & Yuya Koroku when Brookes pinned Koroku with the Praying Mantis Bomb (10:19).
2. Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari Vs Toru Owashi, Antonio Honda & Saki Akai ended in a No Contest (10:46).
3. Yuki Ueno defeated Gota Ihashi with the WR (11:54).

5. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated Soma Takao & Hideki Okatani when Paul pinned Okatani with the Death Valley Bomb (11:21).
6. Chiba Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & MAO defeated Yuji Hino, Kazusada Higuchi & Hiroshi Yamato when Takeshita submitted Yamato with the Plus Ultra (19:47).
7. Dark Match: Tetsuya Endo Vs DJ Nira was a Dream… (16:55)?

The main event was all a dream shared through the consciousness of the entire audience. When The 37KAMIINA won their match and finished their victory speech, the shutter gate of 2AW Square opened up and then closed. DJ Nira was then dragged out to the ring for the final match, which was announced as a dark match. Tetsuya Endo came out and Nira tried to stab him with his umbrella. Nira warned Endo he missed his only chance to beat him but Endo then easily knocked him down with an Elbow Strike. Nira grabbed his umbrella again but this time stabbed himself. Endo was confused but continued wrestling. He put Nira in an Airplane Spin and it accidentally knocked out Yukinori Matsui when Nira’s feet clipped him in the head. Suddenly the lights would constantly switch off and on with the scene in the ring switching to something each time. Narration explained that Nira destroyed Endo’s knee in exchange for his life. And from that knee, a new life was born! Antonio Honda appeared in the ring wearing a diaper and crying. Nira and Endo encouraged him to stop crying and stand up. Honda did but quickly fell down and ran out of the ring. Nira told Endo the founder of an old wrestling school was here today and they should meet him. Toru Owashi then brought Honda back out, this time wearing an Ultimo Dragon mask. Everyone at ringside began singing “Seperados”, pulled down their shorts to reveal diapers underneath and formed a human pyramid in front of Endo with Nira on top. Nira jumped off the pyramid to do a Rocket Punch but missed Endo and crashed to the mat. The room went dark and narration explained that the wrestling school collapsed. The room lit up again to reveal a sleeping Matsui being woken up by Hisaya Imabayashi in the middle of the ring with no one else there. Matsui said he just had a dream and the show ended right at that moment.

In his post-match interview, Endo only talked about his opening D-Ou Grand Prix match against Yuji Hino and his goal to win all of his group bouts before facing Kazusada Higuchi in the final. He spoke nothing about what had happened earlier.

Konosuke Takeshita described he is at his best performance in time for the D-Ou Grand Prix. However since MAO is in his same group, MAO told him they are now enemies for the time being. Takeshita agrees even though they are on the same team for tomorrow’s Tokyo Dome empty arena match. Both will be aiming for the final where they expect Yuki Ueno to be on the other side after he wins his block. Shunma Katsumata isn’t in the tournament so they let him finish off the speech so he wouldn’t feel left out. He said if The 37KAMIINA wins the 5,000,000 yen cash prize in the Tokyo Dome then they will all go to Finland to celebrate in their saunas!

Today was Soma Takao’s first chance to get his hands on DAMNATION T.A since they attacked him. It didn’t fare well for him. Daisuke Sasaki attacked him from the get go then he & MJ Paul targeted Hideki Okatani with dirty tactics. Takao got a second wind but DAMNATION T.A’s teamwork overwhelmed him and Okatani. They got rid of Takao outside the ring and Paul hit the Death Valley Bomb on Okatani to win. Sasaki taunted Takao afterwards and when Takao tried to speak on the microphone, Sasaki knocked him out with a Super Kick. Sasaki then said he doesn’t care about Takao and doesn’t want to be involved with him ever again! The quality of DAMNATION T.A would only drop if they were to let him back in. Takao is now left wondering what he has done to be betrayed like this.

Yukio Naya was able to get the win for his match because Jun Akiyama struck Kazuki Hirata with a Knee Strike to set up the Back Drop finish. Akiyama said he wants Naya to wake up and find something good in his abilities because he thinks they will be working together in the future.

The D-Ou Grand Prix is on everyone’s minds. Ueno watched Yuji Hino’s match and found out he is much stronger than he expected. He also has the opening match with Akiyama coming up but Ueno has more goals he wants to achieve than just beating Akiyama.

The Pheromones match went too far out of control again. They wanted to do their antics on Saki Akai which crossed a line according to Imabayashi and got the match thrown out. Sanshiro Takagi then entered the ring to rescue the GM but Pheromones attacked him until Yusuke Okada came out for the save. Dieno got on the microphone and said if their matches keep getting stopped then they will never get to wrestle from start to finish. He demanded that the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match at Ota Ward Gymnasium must not be prematurely stopped or end in disqualification. Dieno then forced Imabayashi to officially make the match on 3rd November No DQ.

Some of the D-Ou Grand Prix invited press to view their training sessions in the lead up to the tournament. Kazusada Higuchi was taken through special training in Yokohama under Yukio Sakaguchi’s supervision and with Yuki Ishida helping out. First they worked out in a park then they held drills over at the Sakaguchi Dojo to work on Higuchi’s lower body strength. Higuchi said it was a long time since he participated in sumo training, not since before his knee injury. Sakaguchi told Higuchi that the D-Ou is more of a mental game than a physical one. Higuchi agrees it is a good lesson to learn.

Meanwhile MAO visited self-proclaimed Koppojutsu expert Takumi Yano to learn from him. After being shown around the place for an hour, MAO learned new stand up and ground techniques from Yano that focus on body joints. MAO learned a lot but admitted that one day’s training does not mean he can do use the new moves just like that. It will require more training but if he can get ready then he thinks Koppojutsu will be useful against HARASHIMA. Yano encouraged MAO to continue because when he was MAO’s age he was only a year into his Koppojutsu training.

DDT “DDTEEEEN!!” Results

October 27, 2021

DDT “DDTEEEEN!!”, 27/10/2021
Shinjuku FACE
102 Fans

1. Raimu Imai & SHINGO defeated Keigo Nakamura & Yuya Koroku when SHINGO submitted Koroku with a Crab Hold (8:28).
2. MAO defeated Daichi Sato with a Diving Body Press (11:04).
3. Yuki Ueno defeated Hideki Okatani with the WR (9:40).
4. Vent Vert Jack defeated You-sei☆Estrella with the Tlaloc (16:49).
5. Ilusion defeated El Unicorn with a Modified Butterfly Wing Lock (22:06).

Welcome the newest DDT brand to the table, DDTeeeen!! It’s a brand to present matches with teenage wrestlers from around the Japanese scene. The first show was built around the first two wrestlers to come from the project, El Unicorn (13 years old) and Ilusion (18 years old). In their debut match Unicorn pinned Ilusion but the opposite result happened when their first singles match took place. Today was the singles rematch. Unicorn hit his big moves like the Quebrada and Modified Double Knee Stomp. He also had the Modified Pedigree scouted and had counters for it. However, Ilusion used a Mexican Ace Crusher and dodged another Moonsault. He finally applied the Modified Pedigree but held on to apply a Butterfly Lock afterwards. Unicorn tried to reach the ropes but gave up in the end.

Ilusion didn’t have much about the match to reflect on. He was so focused on winning that he doesn’t remember what happened other than he won. He will never lose to El Unicorn or any other teenage wrestler out there! This claim drew out Vent Vert Jack. He introduced himself to Ilusion and then challenged him to a match. Ilusion accepted and warned he won’t just beat Jack, he will crush him. Backstage Ilusion was critical of DDTeeeen!! being built around El Unicorn instead of him. Ilusion has beaten him twice now and Unicorn has already gone through an injury. The face of DDTeeeen!! should be “The Phantom Of The Ring” Ilusion!

Vent Vert Jack (16 years old) won his match against You-sei☆Estrella (also 16) in a clash between the two wrestlers from MY WAY in Kyushu. The two showed respect to each other but still fought to win including some big dives from around ringside. Jack won with a Diving Double Knee Drop called the Tlaloc. Both wrestlers thanked DDT for giving their match a big platform.

HEAT-UP also provided some young wrestlers to participate on the show. Daichi Sato (13 years old) went up against MAO in a losing effort. Sato brought the fight with Shoulder Tackles and Middle Kicks. MAO turned the tables with a Knuckle Punch but Yukinori Matsui held him back to remind MAO his opponents is only 13. MAO switched to normal wrestling moves while threatening to show Sato “the fear of adults”. Sato countered the Michinoku Driver and unleashed more Middle Kicks, this time in a more fired up fashion. MAO stopped him with a Palm Strike and pinned him with a Diving Body Press. Sato asked DDT to give him a rematch if there is another DDTeeeen!! show. He will build his body so he won’t lose to the other DDTeeeen!! wrestlers.

The other HEAT-UP wrestlers fared better in the opening match. Raimu Imai (17 years old) & SHINGO beat the DDT team of Keigo Nakamura & Yuya Koroku. Imai used strong Chops and Dropkicks to keep his opponents at bay. SHINGO caught Koroku in a Bearhug and turned it into a Spinebuster. He then performed a Giant Swing and ended the match with a Crab Hold that made Koroku submit. Imai thanked the rest of the HEAT-UP roster for preparing him with secret training for today’s match.
