2. Marika Kobashi & Haruna Neko Vs Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu

9. Princess Tag Team Titles: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino
10. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Mizuki
Looks like the card is mostly complete. Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh have a mystery partner tag match to prepare for. Yamashita had a recent interview where she said she would like to wrestle more joshi legends, naming Meiko Satomura and Aja Kong as examples. Yamashita has her history with Satomura and Itoh has had a go with Kong before so those two are good predictions. But what if the mysteries aren’t women? Itoh teams with Chris Brookes a lot and let’s face it, him showing up to wrestle on a joshi show shouldn’t surprise anyone at this point. In that case then Yamashita can team with Antonio Honda again. It will be just a little over a year since their match with Kenny Omega & Riho so a reunion can be in order. Those are the two directions I could think of based on the past of both women.
Raku is still searching for her first singles win. Can she get it by beating the returning Yuna Manase?
Mei Suruga from Gatoh Move makes her Tokyo Joshi Pro debut. She’s been on DDT shows before but her only TJPW related match was against NEO Biishiki-gun in 2018.

7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi
The order of the main events have been decided. Eruption Vs DISASTER BOX for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles will start first and then Nautilus’s defence of the KO-D Tag Team Titles will happen afterwards.
He was kicked out of DAMNATION but Daisuke Sasaki still thinks the unit belongs to him. So for the upcoming DAMNATION produced show next month celebrating his 15th Anniversary, Sasaki is not booking any of the wrestlers who stabbed him in the back! At first that meant only Sasaki and Hiroshi Yamato were booked for the show. Shuji Ishikawa has been busy with his work in All Japan during all of this so he was unaware of what happened to DAMNATION. He still considers himself a member but is neutral when it comes to the Sasaki versus Tetsuya Endo drama. Still, he wants to be on the show especially if it means he can sing karaoke again. Yuko Miyamoto & Daisuke Sekimoto are a suitable guest pairing to go up against Sasaki & Ishikawa.
DDT “DRAMATIC DREAMS! VOL. 7 ~KEEP IT ON YAMATO SOUL~”, 18/10/2020 Osaka City Higashisei Residents Center ??? Fans – Withheld
0. Under Match: Mizuki Watase & Hideki Okatani defeated Yukio Naya & Keigo Nakamura when Watase pinned Nakamura with the Back Drop (7:38).
1. Geniuses’ Song! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Antonio Honda when Hirata pinned Honda with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (11:35).

3. HarashimaUrano Vs Team Gonta-gao! Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano defeated Kengo Takai & Naomi Yoshimura when Urano pinned Takagi with a Crucifix Pin (11:55).
4. Izumi Kishiwada Union! The Strongest Men In Osaka Vs ALL OUT! Special Tag Match: Jun Akiyama & Magnitude Kishiwada defeated Akito & Shunma Katsumata when Kishiwada pinned Katsumata with the Last Ride (11:25).
5. #DAMNHEARTS Vs English Mexican Cross-Border Trio Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Soma Takao & CIMA (w/ Mad Paulie) defeated Chris Brookes, Tsubasa & Kuishinbo Kamen when Endo pinned Kamen with the Shooting Star Press (13:32).
6. Double Main Event – Team WR Vs The☆TakeBilly Special Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita & Billy Ken Kid defeated Yuki Ueno & HUB when Takeshita pinned Ueno with the German Suplex (19:14).
7. Double Main Event – Special Tag Match ~Reserved Yamato Soul~: Masato Tanaka & Shigehiro Irie Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).
DDT’s celebration of Yukinori Matsui and Osaka wrestling was headlined with a 30 minute draw between Eruption and Masato Tanaka & Shigehiro Irie. During the match Tanaka & Irie put Yukio Sakaguchi through a table and then isolated Kazusada Higuchi. Irie hit the Flying Sausage followed by Tanaka doing the Super Fly. Sakaguchi kept the match alive by breaking the pin and hitting Tanaka with the God’s Right Knee. With Higuchi and Tanaka as the legal men they went back and forth with a Doctor Bomb, the Sliding D, a Lariat and the Rolling Elbow. Tanaka caught Higuchi with the Gannosuke Clutch in the dying seconds of the match but Higuchi kicked out and the time ran out. Irie said he was happy to wrestle Higuchi and Sakaguchi again. Tanaka said at the age of 45 he still doesn’t want to be losing against the younger wrestlers. He also told Higuchi he regrets not being able to face him back when he held the KO-D Openweight Title. Hopefully they will get to fight each other with a championship on the line in the future. Eruption promised to defend the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles and win the KO-D Tag Team Titles later this month.
Konosuke Takeshita was left with a bloody nose from his match. When he gets to be in the ring with Osaka Pro wrestlers like Billy Ken Kid and HUB, he is with the wrestlers he grew up watching. But Yuki Ueno on the other hand only began watching Osaka Pro after he became a wrestler. Today’s match was the kind Takeshita had dreamed of. He thanked Matsui for booking the match. Billy Ken Kid told Ueno his WR finisher felt just like when Super Dolphin (one of HUB’s old gimmicks) did it. The move is very effective but he should be careful with it. But he admits he would have lost to that move if it was a singles match. Ueno asked to team with HUB again. He also wants to beat Takeshita and make him bleed more.
CIMA had his first match back since his traffic accident. #DAMNHEARTS used Mad Paulie as a jumping pad for CIMA, Soma Takao & Tetsuya Endo to do their high flying moves from onto Kuishinbo Kamen. The pin was broken up by Chris Brookes & Tsubasa but Endo then hit the Shooting Star Press on Kamen to win. Endo welcomed CIMA back to the ring and CIMA explained to the audience how lucky he was to only suffer a broken nose and injured wrist from his cycling accident. He then wondered why DAMNATION and #DAMNHEARTS have split apart during his absence. He decided to leave the topic alone after seeing the looks on Endo & Takao’s faces.
When #DAMNHEARTS left the ring, Endo was confronted by Kuishinbo Kamen again. Kamen offered Endo some candy then gave him a Low Blow. He unmasked himself to reveal it was Daisuke Sasaki in disguise! Sasaki attacked Endo with a chair and put him in La Mistica Cross Facelock. He fled the ring when #DAMNHEARTS came down to rescue Endo. Sasaki got on the microphone and told Endo never to leave his guard down because Sasaki will attack him from anywhere! The real Kuishinbo Kamen came out looking for his spare costume and took a seat in protest. He refused to leave so two of the ringside attendants lifted him up and carried him out of the room.
Even though they were on the winning team, Jun Akiyama & Magnitude Kishiwada began fighting each other after their match. It was sparked by Akiyama missing a Jumping Knee Attack and hitting Kishiwada by accident earlier in the bout. The rest of Junretsu had to pull them apart.
One of the newer trainees in DDT was featured during the show intro. Kojima told Hisaya Imabayashi to speed the opening announcements along because they were already running late. That led to Imabayashi interrupting Matsui’s speech so Ueno could get his chance to talk and then start the show.
DDT “DDT TV SHOW! #10”, 17/10/2020 DDT TV SHOW Studio 0 Fans

4e. Makoto Oishi eliminated Akito by Ring Out (16:38).
4f. Makoto Oishi eliminated Shunma Katsumata with the Fujiyama Knee Lock (18:17).
5. Road To Ultimate Party 2020! Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Hiroshi Yamato defeated Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie when Sasaki submitted Paulie with the Cross Facelock (19:56).
Both Daisuke Sasaki & Hiroshi Yamato were ready for a fight. They came down to the ring carrying chairs and Yamato had his eyes painted black to match Sasaki. A ref bump late in the match allowed Sasaki to Low Blow Tetsuya Endo. He then grabbed the chair and attacked both Mad Paulie and Soma Takao with it. By the time the referee recovered, Sasaki had Paulie in the Cross Facelock to win by submission.
After the match, Sasaki mocked DAMNATION for losing all of their momentum. He still controls them and he will make Endo go back to his cute old self. Suddenly Endo attacked Sasaki and Yamato with Lariats. He then gave Sasaki the Modified One-Winged Angel. He told Sasaki he no longer has any control over him. The only thing Endo cares about now is beating Sasaki!
The latest ALL OUT Vs Junretsu battle had Shinya Aoki come in to take the injured Yuki Iino’s place. It was an Elimination Tag match which included out of the ring knockouts. The first few were surprising as Konosuke Takeshita got rid of Jun Akiyama for the first elimination. However he dropped his guard afterwards and got knocked to the floor by Hideki Okatani! The rookie kept going for a few minutes until Shunma Katsumata pinned him. A double elimination for Mizuki Watase and Aoki meant Makoto Oishi was left on his own. He overcame the 2-on-1 Handicap, flipping Akito out of the ring with a Headscissors and making Katsumata tap to the Fujiyama Knee Lock. When the match was over Takeshita and Akiyama had another staredown. Backstage Akiyama credited his team for today’s performance. Okatani for eliminating Takeshita, Watase for eliminating Aoki and Oishi for surviving the odds at the end.
Chris Brookes wanted to avoid wrestling Yuki Ueno in their tag match. Whenever Ueno got tagged in, Brookes would tag out and have Shota take his place. Brookes finally got in to fight Ueno after Shota did a Tornado DDT. Brookes had control until Ueno stunned him with a Dropkick. Shota tagged back in but was hit with a Standing Somato from HARASHIMA. Ueno hit the Frog Splash but then did the Praying Mantis Bomb to grab Brookes’ attention. After the match, Ueno grabbed the DDT UNIVERSAL Title and placed it on a chair in the ring daring Brookes to come and take it off him. Hisaya Imabayashi got Brookes the belt back but the champion was still angry at Ueno embarrassing him. Backstage Brookes asked Shota what had happened. He has a new outfit and wrestled his first match since getting injured. Shota had to explain he is not Masahiro Takanashi.
The message was sent loud and clear to Eruption today. Do not forget Kazuki Hirata is part of this feud too! Things looked at their worst for DISASTER BOX when Yukio Sakaguchi knocked out Naomi Yoshimura with the God’s Right Knee. But Hirata was the legal man and he rolled up Sakaguchi for a nearfall. He kept countering Sakaguchi’s moves with pins until he finally got the three count with the Miracle One Shot Cradle! Hirata told Eruption not to just focus on Nautilus because he is going to fight them for a championship too. He admits he is still afraid of Sakaguchi but with Nautilus by his side they will win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles! Well, they will once Yoshimura regains consciousness. Backstage, Saki Akai figured out that she should square off with Hirata so the others can put their entire focus on Nautilus.
Before Match #1 took place, Danshoku Dieno and Antonio Honda found Soma Takao practicing his low blows in the locker room. Neither of them wanted their groins to get destroyed so they promised to protect each other from Soma. They did well at first but the alliance fell apart when both of them wanted to win. Dieno set Honda up for the Danshoku Driver but Takao gave him a Low Blow. This led to a chain reaction of Dieno and Honda accidentally hitting each other in the groins over and over. When everything calmed down all that was left to do was for Takao to pin Honda with La Magistral Cradle.

7. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Konosuke Takeshita
8. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki
In an interview with Yahoo Japan posted yesterday, Daisuke Sasaki swore he will retire if he loses to Tetsuya Endo. He will end his wrestling career and go get a job overseas where he can work three days a week with no early morning shifts. He explained in the article that Endo stopped listening to his advice around the time he became the KO-D Openweight Champion. Endo would pretend to listen but turn a blind eye to Sasaki’s advice over fashion and hairstyling. Sasaki believes everyone else in DAMNATION turned on him because Endo bribed them. He also says he will have new black wrestling gear to wear for the title match.
Now is Sasaki being genuine with his gamble? In the past he has threatened to quit wrestling or vacate championships immediately after losing matches. So in normal circumstances he doesn’t take to losing well, especially when he’s been drinking. Could this just be an empty claim or even a self-motivational tactic? Or will this really be Sasaki’s last hurrah if he can’t beat Endo?

An emergency press conference was held today announcing changes to the D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 schedule. The two dates reserved for DDT TV SHOW tapings (28/11 & 5/12) are now taking place in Narimasu Act Hall and tickets will be free for fans to attend. The changes were made when fans requested the shows be held at venues they can go to see live instead of having them inside an empty studio. The free ticket campaign in the past has brought in new people to see DDT for the first time so it is being attempted again for the two replacement shows. Sanshiro Takagi admits it is a difficult idea to be running free shows while the business has been impacted by COVID-19. But it is a risk he is willing to take in order to make new fans.
The list of participants entering the D-Ou Grand Prix will be revealed during “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020” on 3rd November.

So DAMNATION seems to be split into two right now. There is the #DAMNHEARTS side led by Tetsuya Endo and there is the Daisuke Sasaki side that has Hiroshi Yamato as the only other member. What would Puma King think of this?
Shinya Aoki comes to ALL OUT’s aid in their fight against Junretsu.

6. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Konosuke Takeshita
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki
Chris Brookes defended the DDT UNIVERSAL Title against one half of Nautilus so now he takes on the other half. Yuki Ueno took offence to Brookes calling Naomi Yoshimura weak after beating him. Ueno then took more offence when Brookes suggested he is weaker than Yoshimura. He wants to shut Brookes up and take his title. Might even end up becoming a triple crown champion along with the two tag titles when all is said and done
The motivation levels for Akito and Danshoku Dieno seem to be going in opposite directions this year. Akito’s has been rising to the point where he became a Vice President of CyberFight. Dieno is still able to come up with ideas but has he passed his creative peak? A match between the two will provide a barometer for where both will stand in DDT.
The participants for the 2021 D-Ou Grand Prix will be revealed on this show.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS”, 07/11/2020 Tokyo Dome City Hall

4. Princess Tag Team Titles: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino
5. International Princess Title Tournament – Final: X Vs X
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Mizuki
The first two semi-finalists in the International Princess Title tournament are Shoko Nakajima and Mirai Maiumi.
Saki Akai only wrestles in Tokyo Joshi Pro once or twice a year because DDT is her priority. For her 2020 appearance she will face Hyper Misao in a first time singles meeting. They were on opposite sides of a tag match once in 2015 but I think that may have been retconned into Akai getting replaced by Sakisama for some reason. Oh and there was also the storyline with that Saki Akamiya girl. Whatever happened to her? But enough about that.
Yuna Manase will be on the show. This will be her first appearance in Tokyo Joshi since leaving the promotion back in July. Look at her getting to wrestle everywhere!
DDT “DDT TV SHOW! #9”, 10/10/2020 DDT TV SHOW Studio 0 Fans
1. Kazusada Higuchi defeated Yukio Naya with a Lariat (6:45).
2. Popularity Death Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Sanshiro Takagi ended in a No Contest (8:00).
3. Konosuke Takeshita & Jiro Kuroshio defeated Akito & Shunma Katsumata when Takeshita pinned Katsumata with the Exaggerated School Boy (13:56).
4. Junretsu Vs DISASTER BOX!: HARASHIMA, Yuki Ueno & Kazuki Hirata defeated Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Hideki Okatani when Hirata pinned Okatani with the One Shot Miracle Cradle (9:54).
5. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Chris Brookes (c) defeated Naomi Yoshimura with the Modified Octopus Stretch (13:45). *V2 for Chris Brookes.
The return of DDT TV SHOW saw the show inside a new studio without an audience. Chris Brookes headlined the show beating Naomi Yoshimura in his second DDT UNIVERSAL Title defence. It was his focus on the Octopus Stretch that wore Yoshimura down until Brookes could latch it on even further to make the challenger give up. Brookes wouldn’t let go until Yuki Ueno pulled them apart.
Afterwards Brookes said Yoshimura was lucky to pin him at Korakuen Hall last month and he is too weak to become the UNIVERSAL Champion. Brookes then said Ueno never pinned Brookes at the Korakuen match so Ueno must be even weaker than Yoshimura. If he wants to prove him wrong then he should come and try to take the title from him. Ueno spoke to Brookes in English and said Yoshimura is not weak. He then told Hisaya Imabayashi that he wants to challenge Brookes for the title to shut his foul mouth. Imabayashi accepted and made the match for “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”! Brookes and Ueno shook hands but Brookes then put Ueno in the Octopus Stretch.
Oh boy, now Jun Akiyama gets to deal with Kazuki Hirata. The Hirata GO! glasses came out and Hirata was going to show his style of wrestling to Akiyama. Makoto Oishi blocked him and said Hirata is 100 years away from ever getting to dance in front of Akiyama. However, Akiyama stepped in and allowed Hirata to wear the glasses. Hirata declared that pro wrestling is dance, he started dancing and Akiyama hit him with a Running Knee. But Hirata got the last laugh by pinning Hideki Okatani to get the win for DISASTER BOX.
The last time Jiro Kuroshio was in DDT, he was throwing Shunma Katsumata over a railing into a pool of water. Katsumata never forgave him for that and wanted revenge! He chased Kuroshio up the studio stairs and when they reached the railing, Kuroshio tried to throw Katsumata over it again! Thankfully he came to his senses and the two of them returned to the ring to start the match. Konosuke Takeshita used an overpowered School Boy lift and slam to pin Katsumata.
Takeshita spoke to Kuroshio after the match and joked about they already had their final singles and tag matches together. Kuroshio is like the scam shop that is always running a “Closing Down” sale. But if Kuroshio really is going to live overseas soon, then he will do so as a member of ALL OUT. In fact, Kuroshio is getting his own branch of the unit called ALL OUT Takenotsuka. Kuroshio said it is always fun to mess around with Takeshita in a DDT ring. He never belonged to DDT but he is grateful to wrestle in it.
The Popularity Death Match allowed anyone who admires Sanshiro Takagi or Danshoku Dieno to interfere in the match. Keigo Nakamura appeared in Takagi’s corner but it was a trick and he was really on Dieno’s side. Takagi had paid Nakamura 50 yen to support him but Dieno outbid him with 500 yen. Luckily for Takagi, the cameraman Yumehito Imanari decided to help him even the numbers. That fell apart and Imanari sided with Dieno to make it 3 on 1. Takagi called for help but nobody came. Takagi then promised to double the salary of anyone who helped him so Hisaya Imabayashi and Inoue Mic came to the rescue. Dieno gave Takagi the Danshoku Driver but Takagi flicked 10,000 yen over to Yukinori Matsui so he wouldn’t count the pin. Daisuke Kiso ran in to count but Matsui Elbow Dropped him. The two referees started fighting each other and chaos broke out. Akito had to stop the match since he was the only one with authority in the room who had not lost his mind.
Akito asked everyone what are they doing to the sacred pro wrestling? Nobody was showing any desire in the ring, they were just doing things for money. He ordered all of them to go back to their normal roles. Everyone left until Akito told Dieno to stay. He wanted to know if Dieno is really okay with his recent work or if he is past his best. Akito had always wanted to fight Dieno in his prime, it was why he became a pro wrestler. Only he and Dieno can wrestle against each other in a way that no one else can. They wrestled in Shin-Kiba 1st RING and Korakuen Hall before. Now Akito wants to wrestle Dieno at a bigger stage like Ota Ward Gymnasium. Dieno accepted Akito’s challenge at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”! by grabbing Akito’s crotch. Akito grabbed Dieno’s crotch in agreement.
The show opened up with Kazusada Higuchi versus Yukio Naya in a heavyweight showdown. Higuchi shrugged off Naya’s Lariat and knocked him down with one of his own. Naya kicked out of a Power Slam but another Lariat from Higuchi ended the match.
