8. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Jun Akiyama

When we last left Tetsuya Endo, he teased about having a secret training partner to help him prepare for Jun Akiyama. His only hint was this trainer is somebody who knows Akiyama inside and out. Well the secret has been revealed and that trainer is Kenta Kobashi! Endo has been training at Kobashi’s fitness gym in Tokyo after he approached Kobashi for advice. Kobashi knew about Endo beating Akiyama during the D-Ou Grand Prix but explained that a tournament match is different from a championship match. Akiyama won’t allow himself to lose to the same opponent twice in a row. He will also be more ruthless because he is now a freelancer and failing to win a championship will affect his wrestling career more than usual. His advice to Endo is to ruthlessly target Akiyama’s knees, especially the left one that he just had surgery on. If Endo can make Akiyama panic, then Endo has a chance to win. Simply doing the same stuff he did in the Grand Prix match won’t work a second time. Kobashi wants Endo to be bold and dynamic to broaden his wrestling style.

Kobashi is throwing his support behind Endo to defend the KO-D Openweight Title. He hopes to see Endo get fired up to do the Shooting Star Press just like he he used to fire up before doing the Moonsault. He also gave Endo dating advice when he found out Endo is single. Endo explained his type to him. He likes women with big boobs such as Tomomi Morisaki. Kobashi bragged about meeting Morisaki at a public event just one month ago. Also as a champion, he explained if Endo treats the belt well the belt will be happy and will always come back to him.

Kobashi will attend the show to provide special guest commentary for the main event. Akiyama has since pointed out that whenever Kobashi appears to watch his title matches, he usually wins.

Yuki Ueno is hoping to clear out all of his bitter memories of Yukio Sakaguchi beating him up. If he successfully defends the DDT UNIVERSAL Title against him then he can spend the rest of 2021 having fun and loving saunas. Ueno has been getting advice from Shinya Aoki to prepare for the match. Sakaguchi thinks the message that has been sent over the last few weeks is he’s strong while Ueno is weak. The two met for commemorative photo during the week and Sakaguchi tried to grab the belt from Ueno. Ueno told him if he wants to take pictures with the belt he should win it on the 14th. Sakaguchi punched Ueno in the stomach and posed with the belt.

Most of the women are excited for their match. Saki Akai & Maya Yukihi are motivated to team together and even form a competitive rivalry of some sort. Saori Anou on the other hand isn’t pleased to be teaming with Miyako Matsumoto. She would much rather be on the same team as Akai or Yukihi. Matsumoto says the best thing about DDT is anything is possible and you are free to do anything. To her the charm of joshi wrestling is not just the glitter but also the grime. She wants Anou to understand that so they can work as a team.

GANBARE☆PRO “CLIFFHANGER 2021”, 21/02/2021

2. THE HALFEE Vs Watase Manase: Moeka Haruhi & Shu Sakurai Vs Mizuki Watase & Yuna Manase
3. Ganpro Vs Aka Rangers: Ken Ohka & Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO
4. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Kouki Iwasaki & HARUKAZE (c) Vs Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga
5. STOP THE Hidaka! Special Single Match: Yumehito Imanari Vs Ikuto Hidaka

I love the name of the main event. ZERO1 had “STOP THE Matsunaga”. Ganbare☆Pro gets “STOP THE Hidaka!” It’s only fitting for the ZERO1 connection that Yumehito Imanari becomes maybe the last man standing in the way of Ikuto Hidaka. Imanari made a promise to be the messiah for Ganpro.

The new GWC 6-Man Tag Team Champions already have a road map set out. The trio called DREAMS HARU TRUE want to defend the belts against Pocchari Joshi. However, Asuka demanded her team with Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga get another shot at the titles first because she will only wrestle in Ganpro for championships. She gets what she wants because Ken Ohka is worried she will walk out of the company, especially right before she could potentially become a breakout star in the AEW women’s tournament.

Ohka gets a second chance against the Aka Rangers. That’s if they can make it to the venue in time. Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO already have another match happening at a FREEDOMS and 2AW co-promoted show in Chiba earlier that day.

Even though he no longer has the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title around his waist, Shota still wants to bring the independent spirit to Ganpro. He is bringing in Hyper Brave G-Valion for a match. G-Valion is from a small Tokyo promotion called BRAVES.

8. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs Konosuke Takeshita & MAO

MAO is happy to see his generation are now the main eventers of DDT. It’s a fight he never wants to give up. Konosuke Takeshita agrees and said the DDT Sauna Club runs in the centre of DDT. They main event Korakuen Hall, they’re main eventing Nagoya Congress Center and now they want the KO-D Tag Team Titles to add to their growing championship haul. These are just the kind of opponents Kazusada Higuchi is looking for. Also Sakaguchi disagrees about the age thing. Everyone from HARASHIMA to Danshoku Dieno are all doing their best no matter their age.

*Sanshiro Takagi fails in V11. Shunma Katsumata becomes the 50th DDT Extreme Champion!

Sanshiro Takagi and the DDT Extreme Title went back to the hot springs for his next crazy title defence. This time he was in a hot spring in Kumamoto to fight Shunma Katsumata and Batten x Burabura at the same time. But he had a surprise announcement to make. The match is a 45 minute 3 Way Ironman contest with Keigo Nakamura as the referee! Nakamura kept the score by writing on his arm. At first only Takagi and Katsumata showed up when the match began. They were already tied 1-1 when Burabura finally appeared in the banquet hall to join in with a grand introduction. From this point on he was pretty much a punching bag for the other two and the score quickly rose higher and higher.

Katsumata pushed both Takagi and Burabura down a staircase. When they got back to their feet, Burabura started acting like Takagi and vice versa. Their tumble caused their bodies to swap! Katsumata pushed them both down the stairs again to bring them back to normal. More pinfalls were made as the match made its way to the bathhouse. The hot water was used to torture the wrestlers and a lot of pins happened in the baths. Even moments of peace resulted in pins when Katsumata covered his opponents while they relaxed in the whirlpool bath. Burabura kept trying to use his signature Elbow Drops but missed every time leading to more pinfalls. His clothes got so soaked it led to his backside getting exposed at one point.

Everyone moved over to the washing area. Katsumata submitted when Takagi washed his hair with body soap instead of shampoo. Nakamura updated everyone on the scores. Katsumata was at 14, Takagi was at 12 and Burabura was at 0. Burabura finally got a point when he Cradled Takagi but it was immediately reversed for Takagi to get his win back. Takagi built a castle out of chairs and bowled Burabura into them. Takagi then felt naughty and wanted to go into the women’s bathing area but Nakamura stopped him. Katsumata and Burabura sided with Takagi though and the three of them made their way into the women’s bath. It was here where Burabura finally hit his Elbow Drop by moving at high speed to win a second point.

Cold water and lotion were used as weapons. Burabura started racking up points when Katsumata kept submitting to the lotion being rubbed on him in a provocative manner. It led to everyone slipping around the room. Takagi stuck a shower head into Burabura’s mouth and switch it on. He then used the Spicolli Driver to throw Burabura into a bath for another pin. He kept pinning him for more points until Katsumata broke it up. That was the last of Burabura’s involvement in the match. Katsumata found a towel and was inspired to drag Takagi into the sauna with him.

Katsumata had the homefield advantage from this point on and used the sauna to beat Takagi several more times as the final minutes counted down. He used the towel to blow a heat wave at Takagi then pinned him with a DDT. The score was now tied with one minute left to go. Katsumata took out a ladder and did the Stuka Splash from it, pinning Takagi for the match winning point with seconds to go. The final score was Katsumata 25, Takagi 24 and Burabura 6.

Nakamura handed the Extreme Title to Katsumata and he celebrated. This is the first singles championship he has ever won! Katsumata said there is somebody he always wanted to defend the title against. He picked up a tiny rubber duck and said he wants to fight its dad, MAO! He told the rubber duck to go tell MAO he is the next challenger for the DDT Extreme Title!


DDT “CHRIS BROOKES PRODUCE SHOW 2 – WRESTLE BUTOKAN★DREAM” Results

DDT “CHRIS BROOKES PRODUCE SHOW 2 – WRESTLE BUTOKAN★DREAM”, 07/02/2021
Saitama Wrestle Butokan
0 Fans

1. Chris Brookes & Miyu Yamashita defeated Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata when Brookes pinned Katsumata with the Praying Mantis Bomb (21:25).
2. ROBOT Vs HERO: Mecha Mummy Vs Hyper Misao ended in a No Contest (8:53).
3. Konosuke Takeshita defeated Baliyan Akki with the German Suplex (16:48).

Just like last time, almost the entire show is already in English so I don’t know what you’re doing here. But don’t go, here’s a write up anyway! The show began with “CDK” walking out for a welcoming introduction. “Masahiro Takanashi” talked to the camera while “Chris Brookes” stood beside him flipping up the two fingers. The real CDK entered the ring behind them and scared “Brookes” off while “Takanashi” was still talking. The real Chris Brookes asked Shota what he was doing and Shota accused the real Masahiro Takanashi of being fake. Takanashi grabbed Shota by the nose and knocked him out with a punch. CDK then introduced the show properly.

Backstage the DDT Sauna Club declared their love for saunas in English. Brookes said he wants revenge on both of his opponents today. He wants revenge on Yuki Ueno for taking the DDT UNIVERSAL Title from him and he wants revenge on Shunma Katsumata for that time he got him banned from Twitter. His tag partner today Miyu Yamashita only had one thing to say about the upcoming match. “Don’t touch my chin!!” The Sauna Club ignored her warning with Ueno grabbing Yamashita in a Chinlock and Katsumata giving her a Chincrusher. Brookes cut him off with a Slingshot Cutter and Yamashita fired back with the Crash Rabbit Heat. She would have pinned Katsumata if Ueno didn’t break it up in time. Brookes got rid of Ueno outside the ring with a Running Knee Strike and tagged in. Yamashita hit Katsumata with the Skull Kick and Brookes immediately dropped him with the Praying Mantis Bomb to win the match.

The superhero Hyper Misao was in a Falls Count Anywhere match but she was confused over what her opponent was. What is a Mecha Mummy? It is probably an evil monster so she must kill it. Mecha Mummy did not give a pre-match comment. It only shook. In the ring, Mummy hit Misao with Rocket Punches and then attacked her with the Drill. Misao stalled Mummy with a spray attack so she could escape backstage to regroup. After a transformation, Misao returned to the ring as Mecha Pami! She attacked Mummy with her own drills then chased the robot around ringside on the Hyper Mobile. She found a Holy Sword at ringside but Mummy blinded her with powder when she tried to use it. Mummy connected the Jet Scrambler to its back to hit a Diving Attack for a nearfall. Misao escaped the ring again only to get both the Jet Scrambler and Rocket Fist thrown at her. The two fighters dueled at the entrance way and Pami threw Mummy into a nearby castle of chairs. Desperate, Pami grabbed two bottles of water knowing it was Mummy’s weakness. However, Pami was now a Mecha too so it was also her weakness. They both poured water over each other and short circuited. As smoke flowed through the arena from the two motionless robots, Daisuke Kiso called off the match.

When the risk of exploding mechas went away, it was time for the main event. It’s been a while since Baliyan Akki last wrestled on a DDT related show. He was motivated to do his best against Konosuke Takeshita. In return, Takeshita told Akki to bring it. There were big moves thrown when Takeshita gave Akki a Brainbuster on the entrance stage. Akki later hit the Firebird Splash for a two count. He tried to outmaneuver his opponent, flipping out of a German Suplex to set up a Modified La Magistral for another nearfall. But when Takeshita cut Akki off with the Blue Thunder Bomb, the end was near. Akki fired up but Takeshita hit the Zahi knee strike and pinned him with the German Suplex. The two wrestlers praised each other for a good match afterwards.

After the matches were over and everyone cooled down, some of the wrestlers sat down with Brookes and Mr. HAKU in the ring for post-show interviews. Katsumata, Yamashita and Misao took part so they could get the chance to talk to their overseas fans in English. Brookes was happy with the card that was put together because it was interesting and different. He wanted Katsumata and Yamashita on the card because they were on the first produced show. Drew Parker was unavailable because of a scheduling conflict. Ueno was brought in as a logical choice to be Katsumata’s tag partner. Also because Brookes wanted to see Yamashita kick Ueno in the head. Misao assured everyone she is not dead, her mecha form just broke down. Brookes remembered Mecha Mummy from the early days of DDT’s infamy on the internet and wanted to see Misao fight it because she is just as weird. For the main event, Brookes wanted to do Takeshita Vs Akki on the first show but couldn’t. He hates Akki but cannot deny he had a great 2020 so when he got the chance to produce a second show the match was definitely going to happen this time. Brookes and Katsumata then argued over the Twitter ban again. Katsumata apologised and Brookes joked he would be traded to Gake no Fuchi Joshi so Brookes won’t have to wrestle there anymore. For the 3rd produce show, Brookes wants to book everyone who was on this show against Katsumata in an 8 Vs 1 10,000 Thumbtacks Death Match.

1. Marika Kobashi & Moka Miyamoto Vs Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko
2. Yuna Manase, Nao Kakuta & Raku Vs Hikari Noa, Mahiro Kiryu & Sena Shiori
3. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
4. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel
5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino (c) Vs Shin Ultra Shoko & Hyper Misao
6. International Princess Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c) Vs Mirai Maiumi
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

The contract signing for the three title matches has taken place. Rika Tatsumi made it clear her goal as the Princess Of Princess Title is to defend it for a century. When she teams with Miu Watanabe as Daydream, she thinks of ways to use Watanabe as a weapon against their opponents. So she already has ideas of how to attack Watanabe directly. It is a special match for her but she is not nervous. She has already been champion for a month and has learned to be calm about it. Watanabe thinks she has already grown thanks to wrestling against Tatsumi over the last month.

Mirai Maiumi created her own attaché case to represent her International Princess Title shot. She wants to become the champion to give courage and energy all over Japan. She promises her match will be the Miramare Shock miracle! As champion, Yuki Kamifuku purposely wants to make people feel jealousy. That way everyone will pay attention to her and Tokyo Joshi Pro.

The creation of Shin Ultra Shoka has reminded Hyper Misao of her original intentions when she became a superhero. She wants to create a superhero squad of Tokyo Joshi! There are five colours in the hero squad and two have already been filled. Red and green. That leaves blue, yellow and pink. If the Tokyo Joshingers win the Princess Tag Team Titles then they can add The Bakuretsu Sisters to their squad. Nodoka Tenma wants to be the blue ranger but she would rather still be champion. She also wants Shoko Nakajima to go back to normal so they can team with her as the Tokyo Joshi Special Effects Club again. They would even prefer Misao to join the club rather than they join the Joshingers. Yuki Aino also reminded the challengers that it’s the people that give heroes their powers and they will use that power to defend the belts.

DDT “THIS IS OUR 9TH NARIMASU PARTY! 2021”, 20/02/2021
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall

1. Toru Owashi, Yukio Naya & Toui Kojima Vs Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Keigo Nakamuta
2. DAMNATION Vs ALL OUT!: Yuji Hino & Mad Paulie Vs Yuki Iino & Shunma Katsumata

4. Mizuki Watase Vs Yusuke Okada
5. DAMNATION Vs Junretsu!: Tetsuya Endo, Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao Vs Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Hideki Okatani
6. Road To NAGOYA! Special 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Yukio Sakaguchi & Kazusada Higuchi Vs Konosuke Takeshita, MAO & Yuki Ueno

The schedule for the next fortnight is a little light but it’s all preparing for two big shows DDT are having this month. There is “KAWASAKI STRONG 2021” on 14th February and this will be the first DDT show happening after it (not counting the DAMNATION show on the 19th).

DDT “DDT DOESN’T KNOW GUNMA YET 2021”, 21/02/2021
Gunma YAMADA Green Dome Maebashi Sub-Event Area

1. Daisuke Sasaki Vs Keigo Nakamura
2. Yukio Sakaguchi & Yukio Naya Vs Shunma Katsumata & MAO
3. Yuki Ueno & Yusuke Okada Vs Chris Brookes & Toui Kojima
4. DDT Variety Group Sangokushi!: Kazuki Hirata Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Toru Owashi
5. The Mountain Of Akagi Is Only Here Tonight! Maebashi Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Soma Takao & Yuji Hino Vs HARASHIMA, Kazusada Higuchi & Antonio Honda
6. Junretsu Vs ALL OUT!: Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Hideki Okatani Vs Konosuke Takeshita, Akito & Yuki Iino

The other big show is “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA 2021” on the 23rd, which is two days after this.

Interesting to see the relationship tree Yusuke Okada is quickly forming. On one side he is butting heads with Mizuki Watase over their connections to Jun Akiyama. Then over on the other he won over Yuki Ueno’s respect and there’s potential for a regular tag team there. That’s if there isn’t a dangerous sense of competition between them that could get in the way.


DDT “NEW YEAR DRAMATIC ITABA SERIES 2021” Results

January 31, 2021

DDT “NEW YEAR DRAMATIC ITABA SERIES 2021”, 31/01/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
101 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. 3 Way Match: Toru Owashi defeated Antonio Honda and Keigo Nakamura when Owashi pinned both Honda and Nakamura with a Double School Boy (8:23).
2. Yuji Hino, Mad Paulie & Nobuhiro Shimatani defeated Chris Brookes, Yusuke Okada & Toui Kojima when Shimatani submitted Kojima with a Modified Camel Clutch (12:21).
3. Young Communication Generation Vs DDT Legend Army!: HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno defeated Akito & Kazuki Hirata when Dieno pinned Akito with the Hell Sword (10:56).
4. Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Naya defeated Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata when Naya pinned Katsumata with the Back Drop (10:18).
5. Konosuke Takeshita & MAO defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Mizuki Watase when MAO pinned Watase with the Avalanche Michinoku Driver II (14:05).
6. DAMNATION VS Junretsu!: Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Hideki Okatani defeated Tetsuya Endo, Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao when Akiyama pinned Takao with the Wrist Clutch Exploder Suplex (20:40).

Today was the return of Jun Akiyama from injury and also his last preview match against Tetsuya Endo before their KO-D Openweight Title match. They continued to fight each other after the match until Endo backed out of the ring. Akiyama thanked Endo because he felt today’s match was enough rehabilitation for him. He thinks the right side of the KO-D Title belt looks a little dull so he should polish it before Akiyama takes it off him. Makoto Oishi assured everyone that Akiyama’s strength and power is back to where it was before his absence.

Backstage Akiyama joked he is now unemployed because of his new freelance status. He also cheered up Hideki Okatani when he found out Okatani was disappointed over not winning any matches against DAMNATION while Akiyama was gone. Meanwhile Endo revealed he brought in a new training partner to prepare for the title match. He teased that this person is somebody who knows Akiyama best and everyone will be surprised when the person is unveiled.

Yukio Sakaguchi is getting what he wants from the DDT Sauna Club. Today’s defeat against Konosuke Takeshita & MAO now motivates him to kill the both of them. He promises his title matches with the Sauna Club in Culttz Kawasaki and Nagoya Congress Center will be a war. The likes of MAO and Shunma Katsumata hate the word “war” because saunas are peaceful.

The pairing of Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Naya had a successful warm up match for “KAWASAKI STRONG 2021”. They gave Katsumata a Double Choke Slam and it was Naya who got the pin with a Back Drop. Naya said he is starting over from scratch and has nothing to lose. He will hit Smile Pissari with all of his strength. Higuchi understands and will help him do that.

Danshoku Dieno has come up with a new finishing move. He pressed Akito’s face into his backside and HARASHIMA hit the Somato into Akito from the other side. Dieno then did his own version of the Somato where he hits the move with his crotch instead of the knees. The move is called the Hell Sword. Dieno then tea bagged Akito after the match to add insult to injury. He asked Akito & Kazuki Hirata if they were fooling around when they nominated the DDT old guard for their next KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles defence. All it does it make Dieno the face of DDT again if he wins the championship. His generation will lead DDT again! And if the Young Communication Generation won’t call him the leader of DDT, he will get HARASHIMA to shut them up and follow his orders!

The BOYZ and YaroZ doubleshot in Itabashi Green Hall that was cancelled last year has been rescheduled to 4th April. The BOYZ show will take place on the 2nd Floor while the YaroZ show is held in the 1st Floor.

DDT “THIS IS OUR 9TH NARIMASU PARTY! 2021”, 20/02/2021
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall

1. Mizuki Watase Vs Yusuke Okada

After Junretsu lost their match yesterday. Mizuki Watase made his feelings clear backstage that Yusuke Okada is not deserving of a spot in DDT. He was excited to see him enter DDT at first but believes he quickly settled into a safe position under Akiyama’s coaching instead of making a name for himself. Okada explains that DDT made him team with Junretsu while Akiyama is recovering but Watase thinks that excuse is not good enough. They will settle their differences in a singles match.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2021”, 28/02/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: The Young Bucks Autobiography “Killing The Business” (c) Vs X

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title was sent back to Japan after a five month stay in the United States. It ended up in AEW where a copy of The Young Bucks autobiography became the most recent champion (my quick review: decent book, needed crazy road stories to make it a must read). The book was shipped over to Japan along with the title belt so DDT did the logical thing and booked it for a title defence next month. Match type and opponent(s) are yet to be determined.


DDT “DRAMATIC 2021 JANUARY SPECIAL” Results

January 28, 2021

DDT “DRAMATIC 2021 JANUARY SPECIAL”, 28/01/2021
Shinjuku FACE
162 Fans

1. Akito & Chris Brookes defeated Mizuki Watase & Toui Kojima when Brookes submitted Kojima with a Modified Armbar (7:49).
2. DDT Variety Team, Pentagram Ambition!: Kazuki Hirata defeated Danshoku Dieno, Saki Akai, Mad Paulie and Gorgeous Matsuno when Hirata pinned Dieno with the Gaydo Clutch (7:28).
3. HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Antonio Honda defeated Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Keigo Nakamura when Honda pinned Nakamura with the Diving Fist Drop (9:36).
4. DDT Megatonweight Single Match: Yuji Hino defeated Yukio Naya with the Fucking BOMB (7:49).
5. Tetsuya Endo, Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao defeated Makoto Oishi, Hideki Okatani & Yusuke Okada when Endo submitted Okatani with the Yurikamome (11:59).
6. Eruption Vs DDT Sauna Club!: Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno by TKO when Sakaguchi used the Sleeper Hold on Ueno (15:59).

The main event was a preview of both the upcoming DDT UNIVERSAL Title and KO-D Tag Team Title matches scheduled for February’s two big shows. It was the tag champions who came out on top with Kazusada Higuchi using the Brain Claw to nullify Konosuke Takeshita while Yukio Sakaguchi went to town on Yuki Ueno. Sakaguchi hit the God’s Right Knee then repeatedly hit High Kicks with both of his legs. The match had to be stopped when Ueno was put into a Sleeper Hold and he lost consciousness. Eruption held up both the KO-D Tag Title and the UNIVERSAL Title belts to celebrate. Sakaguchi said they will defend the Tag Titles against Takeshita no matter what. He also warned Ueno that this is the fight he will be in at Culttz Kawasaki. After they left the ring, Ueno grabbed the microphone. He admittedly now regrets nominating Sakaguchi to be his challenger but he’ll still be holding the UNIVERSAL Title high above his head in Kawazaki. He and Takeshita are still alive!

Hideki Okatani came close to pinning Tetsuya Endo with a Backslide Pin but it was countered into the Yurikamome Hold to give DAMNATION the victory. Endo wouldn’t let go after the match, causing Yusuke Okada to stomp on him to break it. Daisuke Sasaki and Makoto Oishi then jumped into the fight but things quickly calmed down. Endo taunted Junretsu by telling them they have no chance beating DAMNATION without Jun Akiyama. He will assess how much of a threat Akiyama will be when his return match happens on 31st January.

Big boy Yuji Hino is being targeted by the other big boys in DDT and he just does not understand why. Yukio Naya once more tried to ambush Hino this time right before their match started. And once again the plan failed and Hino slapped him apart. Naya did put up a fight in the match itself but he fell to the Fucking BOMB and seems to no longer be a problem for Hino. Now he has a new problem to deal with. Yuki Iino climbed into the ring moments after the match ended and he hit Hino with the Spear. Akito & Shunma Katsumata got in and held an excited Iino back while Hino asked Mad Paulie and Yukinori Matsui why DDT’s younger wrestlers don’t like him? He doesn’t know what is going on but he will fight back. He also appreciates Paulie helping him in this situation.

It was announced at the start of the show that the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title is returning to Japan. The current champion, a copy of The Young Bucks autobiography “Killing The Business” was being shipped over from America along with the title belt. Later on during the show, Kazuki Hirata was being chased around backstage by Danshoku Dieno over the result of their 5 Way Match. Hirata lost Dieno in a waiting room and noticed a mystery package on the table. He opened it to find the book and the Iron Man Title! Hirata called in Matsui to count him pinning the book but Dieno arrived in time to stop it and chase Hirata away. The book will now defend the Iron Man Title on the 28th February Korakuen Hall show.

Gorgeous Matsuno announced his 60th birthday commemorative show scheduled for 18th April will be rescheduled because the venue is being used as a vaccination centre during that period.

Today is MAO’s 24th birthday!
