Then on Sunday DDT welcomes back Kaisei Takeshi to the fold for his second ever wrestling match. He is fitting this in a very busy schedule that is full of different kinds of performances in different places. He is aiming for this match to surpass the shock of his debut.

BASARA “KANRA TOWN 65TH ANNIVERSARY – KANRA PRO WRESTLING FESTIVAL”, 29/09/2024
Gunma Kanra Junior High School Gymnasium

1. Takeru Inoue Vs Yujiro Yamamoto

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2024 TOUR IN FUKUOKA”, 13/10/2024
Acros Fukuoka

1. O-40 Title – 3 Way Match: Azul Dragon (c) Vs Toru Owashi Vs Danshoku Dieno
2. Special Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Kota Umeda & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Iino (c) Vs X

The next DDT Universal Title defence after this weekend will happen on 13th October. Will Yuki Iino still be the champion or is Yukio Naya taking his spot?

The show will feature a rare Kota Umeda sighting! Just as rare is the O-40 Title being defended. Azul Dragon won the belt back in April and has defended it just once since then. I’ll have to go look where that defence happened because it wasn’t in DDT.

Shinya Aoki will be on the show.

DDT “YUKI ISHIDA TRIUMPH! GOD BLESS DDT 2024 TOUR IN KUMAMOTO”, 14/10/2024
Kumamoto L’celmo Yatsushiro

2. The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING!: Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku
3. Special Single Match: Yuki Iino Vs Kazuki Hirata

Whether he’s champion or not, Iino will have to deal with Kazuki Hirata in Kumamoto. If Hirata still has the Right To Challenge Shield by then he could use it for a title shot. However he seems to despise being in possession of the Shield and has not shown interest in using it for a title shot of any kind.

GANBARE☆PRO “HANARE BANARE NI 2024”, 14/10/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE Vs Makoto & SAKI
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Yuna Manase & YuuRI

The lack of movement up the card for Ganbare☆Joshi has gotten to Yuna Manase so it’s time for a change. She wants GanJo matches to move up to the main event of Ganbare☆Pro events! She and YuuRI got themselves a big opportunity to do that by challenging Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase For the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles.

GANBARE☆PRO “HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER 2024”, 03/11/2024
Osaka 176BOX

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Hartley Jackson

Yumehito Imanari blew his chance of facing Keisuke Ishii for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title and ended up causing Ishii to defend the title against an even bigger challenger! Hartley Jackson is ready to remind everyone in GanPro that he is Ichiban by becoming a two-time champion.

Oishi’s Last Day In DDT, Satomura In TJPW One More Time, Fujia Vs Takanashi Rematch

September 25, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 AUTUMN”, 28/09/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

A few people are missing from the show for different reasons. Both Raku and Pom Harajuku are missing the show because they will be wrestling in Thailand for SETUP that same day. Yoshiko Hasegawa won’t be there because of a scheduling conflict. Runa Okubo is out of action with an injury she suffered during her match at “WRESTLE PRINCESS V”.

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 ~ 3 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 29/09/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

To-y and Yuki Ishida swap places in Match #2 and Match #3 for some reason.

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2024 TOUR IN SHINJUKU”, 03/10/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Jun Akiyama, Soma Takao & Kazuma Sumi Vs Toru Owashi, Masahiro Takanashi & Ilusion
2. Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino Vs Keigo Nakamura & To-y
3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul (c) Vs Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada
4. KO-D Tag Team Titles – Makoto Oishi’s Last DDT Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Makoto Oishi & Danshoku Dieno

On the day that Makoto Oishi’s contract ends with DDT he gets to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles with Danshoku Dieno. The two of them have never held the titles together and don’t even know what will happen next if they beat ShunMao. It won’t be the last time we will ever see Oishi in DDT but whenever he does show up again it will be as a freelancer. The match means a lot to MAO & Shunma Katsumata too because Oishi has been a mentor to them for their entire careers.

Ilusion has gotten SCHADENFREUDE International a shot at the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles but he isn’t allowed to be on the challenger team. DAMNATION T.A don’t want to defend the titles against him but have no problem putting the belts on the line against the rest of SCHADENFREUDE.

Out of all the possible DDT Universal Title challengers stepping forward, To-y is one of the more unlikely to beat Yuki Iino. But he is looking for ways to get a title shot. He couldn’t go through with cashing in his Right To Challenge Shield because Iino physically stopped him at every opportunity. Now To-y no longer has the Shield but is taking the chance of facing Iino directly in a tag match. This is all if Iino is still the champion after his defence with Yukio Naya of course.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’24”, 06/10/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Wakana Uehara & Haru Kazahiro Vs Toga & Uta Takami
2. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Kakeru Sekiguchi, Kira Summer & Chika Nanase
3. Suzume & Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami
4. Mizuki & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Andreza Giant Panda & Shino Suzuki
5. Maki Itoh & Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuna Manase & HIMAWARI
6. Ryo Mizunami Vs Arisu Endo
7. Queen Of Asia Title & VPW Women’s Title: Yuki Kamifuku (c/c) Vs Xia Zhao
8. Miu Watanabe & Miyu Yamashita Vs Meiko Satomura & Shoko Nakajima

When news came out about Meiko Satomura’s plan to retire from pro wrestling next year, Miyu Yamashita immediately went to Tetsuya Koda asking him to bring Satomura back to Tokyo Joshi Pro for one more match. Yamashita never got along with Satomura in their interactions together back in 2017 because Satomura wasn’t impressed with her as a wrestler. So now here we are seven years later and this might be Yamashita’s final chance to measure herself up against the legend. Miu Watanabe and Shoko Nakajima are also getting in on the action to get their one and only match with Satomura.

Xia Zhao has a pinfall victory over Yuki Kamifuku so she next wants to take the Asian Double Crown from her. Yuki Kamifuku is willing to put both the Queen Of Asia Title & VPW Women’s Title because gambling big in this situation works out for her no matter the result. She either rips off the bandage by losing both belts at the same time or looks cool for defending two championships at once.

Both Ryo Mizunami and Arisu Endo are coming off of title losses at “WRESTLE PRINCESS V”. Where they go from here might depend on the result of this match.

The idea of putting Maki Itoh & Rika Tatsumi together as a team sounds unhinged. Yuna Manase can deal with it but HIMAWARI might find herself in trouble should she end up in a 2-on-1 situation.

It will be up to Shino Suzuki to guide Andreza Giant Panda safely down to the ring. Mizuki is going to have so much fun trying to Double Stomp him that Mahiro Kiryu will have to apologise on her behalf!

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2024 TOUR IN ASAKUSA”, 09/10/2024
Tokyo Asakusa Hanayashi Theater

1. Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Moka Miyamoto Vs Haru Kazashiro
2. Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Keigo Nakamura Vs Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno & Yoshihiko Vs Shunma Katsumata, Soma Takao & Kazuki Hirata
4. The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING!: Yuki Ueno, MAO & To-y Vs Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku

A few guests are coming in for DDT’s return to Asakusa. Ryota Nakatsu is coming over and wants to be in the ring with HARASHIMA. Also TJPW will be presenting a match between Moka Miyamoto and Haru Kazashiro.

BASARA “BASARA 258 ~SOUEN~”, 11/10/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Minoru Fujita (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi

The unexpected next challenger for the Union MAX Title is Masahiro Takanashi! He held the title once before during 2019 and 2020. His final successful defence was even against the current champion Minoru Fujita. That result is something Fujita wants to avenge so he is ready to face Takanashi in a rematch over four years in the making.

DDT “REMBRANDT LARIAT SERIES 2024 COMEBACK ~BATTLE OF THE CORAL~” Results

September 23, 2024

DDT “REMBRANDT LARIAT SERIES 2024 COMEBACK ~BATTLE OF THE CORAL~”, 23/09/2024
Rembrandt Hotel Tokyo Machida Coral Room
232 Fans

1. To-y & Kazuma Sumi defeated Yuni & Yuki Ishida when To-y pinned Ishida with the Kojima Impact (7:19).
2. Soma Takao defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Official Endless Waltz (6:58).
3. Special Single Match: Kazuki Hirata defeated Antonio Honda with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (10:31).
4. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul defeated Chris Brookes, Keigo Nakamura & Ilusion when Sasaki submitted Nakamura with the Crossface Lock (12:11).
5. Jun Akiyama, Akito & Yukio Naya defeated Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku when Akito pinned Koroku with a Cradle (13:38).
6. Special Single Match – Hardcore Rules: Shunma Katsumata defeated Makoto Oishi with the Chain Wrapped Totonou Splash onto Toy Blocks (11:59).
7. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & MAO defeated HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno when MAO pinned Dieno with a Gedo Clutch (19:43).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Shunma Katsumata defeated Danshoku Dieno (c) by Pinfall (3:14 pm).
*Shunma Katsumata becomes the 1,672nd champion.
7a. Rematch: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata defeated HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi when Katsumata pinned Dieno after the Our Mad Max (6:15).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Danshoku Dieno defeated Shunma Katsumata (c) with the Gaydo Clutch (6:04 pm).
*Danshoku Dieno becomes the 1,673rd champion.

For the first time in a long time DDT worked with Rembrandt Hotel to hold a show in one of their ballrooms. The main event had an unexpected title change when midway through the match both teams got into a convoluted spot at ringside and Shunma Katsumata suddenly pinned Danshoku Dieno on the floor to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Dieno would then lose the match proper when MAO reversed the Gaydo Clutch and pinned him using a regular Gedo Clutch. Makoto Oishi asked for a rematch this time as a 6-Man Tag. The hotel manager was so touched by Oishi’s speech he gave his approval to Hisaya Imabayashi and permitted them to go ahead with it. The 37KAMIINA would win the match again by pinning Dieno once more. Dieno would finally get his own back hours after the show ended when he attacked Katsumata during the post-show fan event. In the attack he gave Katsumata the Lip Lock and then the Gaydo Clutch to win back the Iron Man Title.

Katsumata’s busy day also saw him beat Oishi in a singles match for the first time ever. They agreed to add a Hardcore rule where each would be allowed to choose a weapon that would be placed at the entrance. Only those weapons were allowed. Katsumata chose a box full of block toys while Oishi’s weapon was a steel chain. Katsumata would use the Miracle Ecstasy to slam Oishi onto the blocks. He then wrapped the chain around his own waist and hit the Totonou Splash for the win. The two were joined by Yuni & Kazuma Sumi after the match. All four of them danced together as Shin NωA. Katsumata later promised the next time he fights Oishi he will try to win without using any weapons.

Yuki Iino’s team lost to Yukio Naya’s team today but Iino is still confident he will defend the DDT Universal Title against Naya at Korakuen Hall next Sunday. He is still more BURNING than Naya and will burn even more at the title match. Naya said the audience who will see them at Korakuen will be a mixture of long time fans and first time viewers. He believes everyone won’t be able to take their eyes off of himself and Iino when the two heavyweights clash with each other.

After Match #4 Ilusion challenged DAMNATION T.A to a KO-D Tag Team Titles match. Daisuke Sasaki took a minute to drink a glass of beer before making a decision. He decided he will accept a challenge from SCHADENFREUDE International but he will not accept any challenge from Ilusion because he wears a weird looking mask! Chris Brookes comforted Ilusion because he thinks the challenge was a good idea. It was later decided that Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada will be the SCHADENFREUDE team getting the title shot on 3rd October.

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN NARAHA TOWN ~J VILLAGE~” Results

September 21, 2024

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN NARAHA TOWN ~J VILLAGE~”, 21/09/2024
J Village, Naraha Town, Fukushima
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Falls Count Anywhere 10-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO, Shunma Katsumata, To-y & Yuki Ishida defeated Chris Brookes, Danshoku Dieno, Yukio Naya, Keigo Nakamura & Kazuma Sumi when To-y pinned Nakamura with the Naraha Volley Shot (63:26).
*Naraha Town PC defeated Chinchester United.

Bad weather didn’t stop DDT from paying a visit to Naraha Town for an unusual pro wrestling match. The area they chose to hold the match was a half sized soccer court so the match was treated just like a game of football. That’s right it was a Fighting Soccer Rules match!

To-y led his team called Naraha Town PC (Pro Wrestling Club) to take on the away side known as Chinchester United. The Chin U captain Danshoku Dieno declared that if his team wins then the J Village would be turned into a “G Village”. Both sides walked onto the pitch accompanied by child mascots and stood for the national anthem before kick off.

The match was a game of football where the players were allowed to use wrestling moves on each other. Also after every five minutes a mini-game took place. There was a game of keepy uppy, a goal kick distance challenge and also a sumo match for some reason. Naraha Town beat Chin U but the visiting team begged for the match to be decided by penalty shootout.

Naraha won the shootout 3-2 but Chin U didn’t take to the result kindly. A shoving match broke out between the teams and Keigo Nakamura suddenly headbutted To-y, Zinedine Zidane style! A brawl broke out and Dieno decided since they are all pro wrestlers they are going to have a pro wrestling match right now!

The match was Falls Count Anywhere. It started in the football court and spread out from there. Chris Brookes gathered together umbrellas to attack the other team with, Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata attacked Kazuma Sumi over by a tree, Sumi reversed an Irish Whip and threw Katsumata down a nearby hill, a chain of Headscissors was formed on the ground and Yukio Naya flipped it over into a long Boston Crab hold stretching across the path. MAO then gave Sumi a Tombstone Piledriver onto the concrete. A table was brought over and Yuki Ishida put Nakamura through it with a Fire Thunder Driver.

The match found its way over to another football pitch nearby. This time it was a full sized one but everyone decided to just focus on one end of the field. Another penalty shot challenge took place but this time it was Naraha Town all giving Chin U a collective Penalty Kick at the same time. Chin U set up a reversal but Naya got impatient and went to kick Katsumata before any of his teammates were ready.

A ladder was set up for Dieno to put himself in the Hell Gate position but Katsumata later used it to hit the Totonou Splash on both Dieno & Sumi. To-y sprinted from one end of the pitch to the other and gave Nakamura a Leg Lariat into the goal. The Naraha Volley Shot kept Nakamura down for the count and To-y won the match for his side.

At the end of the day, Naraha Town PC celebrated their hard earned victory. To-y told the fans that his next goal is to get DDT to hold a proper show with a wrestling ring in Fukushima.

DDT “DRAMATIC DENSHI TICKET IN SHINJUKU” Results

September 20, 2024

DDT “DRAMATIC DENSHI TICKET IN SHINJUKU”, 20/09/2024
Shinjuku FACE
280 Fans

*Kazuki Hirata wins Akito’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Shield.
2. No Tag Rules: Masahiro Takanashi, Antonio Honda & Ilusion defeated Toru Owashi, Danshoku Dieno & Keigo Nakamura when Takanashi pinned Nakamura with a School Boy (11:28).
3. Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku defeated Jun Akiyama & Yuki Ishida when Koroku submitted Ishida with the Triangle Lancer (10:42).
4. Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo defeated To-y with the Burning Star Press (14:18).
5. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami, KANON & MJ Paul defeated HARASHIMA, Soma Takao, Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi when Kawakami pinned Sumi with the Thunder Fire Power Bomb (9:39).

7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & Shunma Katsumata defeated Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada (c) when MAO submitted Masada with the Dick Killer (21:36).
*SCHADENFREUDE International fails in V1. ShunMao becomes the 84th KO-D Tag Team Champions!

ShunMao have won the KO-D Tag Team Titles they had to give up almost a year and a half ago! The match was supposed to be held under regular tag rules but chaos broke out immediately when the two teams tried attacking each other with the title belts. Right after that a brawl broke out with everybody from both SCHADENFREUDE International and The 37KAMIINA. Things calmed down only to get chaotic again after Yukinori Matsui suffered from a ref bump. ShunMao could have gotten the win earlier when they gave Takeshi Masada the Our Mad Max but the replacement ref Daisuke Kiso was then knocked out by Chris Brookes. With no refs around at all, more weapons were brought into the match like staplers and plastic boxes. Matsui got his senses back but the title belts were still kept around to be used as weapons. Masada used one of the belts to shield himself from Shunma Katsumata’s Totonou Splash. He then hit MAO with the belt but MAO countered his finisher into the Michinoku Driver II onto the same belt. MAO then put Masada in the Just Face Lock and morphed it into the Dick Killer variation to make him tap out.

MAO told everyone after the match that he still has a lot of ideas that he’s been saving up for this new title run and he wants to do them all even if it means he’ll get scolded a lot. He gave credit to Masada and admitted he underestimated him. He has become a great SCHADENFREUDE-like wrestler and deserves to be considered one of ShunMao’s rivals along with CDK. He also suggested the next time these four wrestlers face each other it should be a match with all of the ring ropes taken down! Hisaya Imabayashi then informed ShunMao they will have a title defence on 3rd October and asked if they have any suggestions for challengers. They remembered Makoto Oishi’s final day of his DDT contract is on that date so they want to defend the titles against him. Oishi walked out with Danshoku Dieno and said he wants ShunMao to be his final opponents as a DDT wrestler. He also wants to win the tag titles with Dieno because they never held those belts together before. MAO called Oishi his master and said it is an apprentice’s job to make things easier for their master. Without Oishi, ShunMao would have never become champions so they agreed to face Oishi & Dieno on 3rd October. Backstage MAO warned that it is also an apprentice’s job to deliver the final blow on their master.

Oishi’s last DDT singles match with Yuki Ueno took place before the main event. Dieno was in his corner cheering him on particularly when Ueno tried to beat Oishi with ground work. Oishi got a hold of Ueno by the legs and put him in the Fujiyama Knee Lock but Ueno countered it into a Sleeper Hold. Ueno used the hold for another counter and switched it into the WR to get the three count. Oishi praised Ueno backstage and called him the face of DDT. The match reminded Oishi he’s been in an amazing place like DDT for the last 13 years. Dieno then told Oishi there is something they haven’t done together yet, which led to the challenge at the end of the show.

Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami announced the time has come for him to change his focus to a certain company with the letter “G” in its name so FIRE DAMNATION are ceasing activities as of today. But Kawakami promises it will come back whenever he returns to DDT.

At the recent No Spoiler Beer Garden show Kazuki Hirata reverted by to his rookie form. He forgot to revert back because he appeared for his match in his old gear using his old entrance music. Akito was confused but went along with it for five minutes. He then got on the microphone and said it was a nice reminder of their earlier days of wrestling each other but he would like to fight the current day Hirata now. Hirata felt unsure a pair of Hirata GO! glasses were brought into the ring. Hirata and Akito put them on, danced while wrestling and then Hirata shockingly pinned Akito with the Miracle One Shot Cradle to win the match and take the Right To Challenge Shield! Hirata wasn’t happy though and he held the Shield with digust. He is still thinking like a rookie and is more concerned about doing his behind the scenes chores rather than worry about winning a championship.

5. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Birmingham Style Match: Danshoku Dieno defeated Chris Brookes (c) with the Gaydo Clutch (13:02).
*Danshoku Dieno becomes the 1,671st champion.
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi defeated MAO, Shunma Katsumata & To-y when Sumi pinned To-y with a School Boy (16:52).
*Kazuma Sumi wins To-y’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Shield.
-. DDT Extreme Title – School Boy Only 1 Count Rules: Shunma Katsumata (c) defeated Kazuma Sumi with a School Boy (5:12).
*V6 for Shunma Katsumata. Kazuma Sumi cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Shield.

Poor To-y. Poor, poor To-y. For the third day in a row he approached Yuki Iino in the ring threatening to cash in his Right To Challenge Shield for a DDT Universal Title match. And for the third day in a row Iino went to stop him mid-speech with a Spear. This time however To-y had the move scouted and countered Iino with a Dropkick. He then tried to find Hisaya Imabayashi to hand him the Shield and cash in his shot but couldn’t see him anywhere (Imabayashi was not at the show). By this point Iino recovered, hit To-y with the Spear after all and left ringside.

To-y’s day got even worse when he reappeared for his scheduled main event match and lost by pinfall to Kazuma Sumi! The School Boy that Sumi’s been using thanks to MIKAMI’s influence resulted in To-y’s story coming to a bad end. Sumi’s story however was just about to approach its climax because he immediately used the Shield to challenge Shunma Katsumata for the DDT Extreme Title! Sumi also suggested the special rules for the match should be you can only win with a School Boy and also just need a 1 Count to get a victory. Katsumata agreed to the terms and Yukinori Matsui confirmed the decision in Imabayashi’s place so the match went ahead.

Sumi went for the School Boy three times but Katsumata kicked out before the 1 Count on every attempt. They fought outside and back in the ring Katsumata missed the Totonou Splash. Sumi tried to pin him but Katsumata still kicked out before one. Katsumata dodged a High Kick and gave Sumi a School Boy over and over and over until he finally got a 1 Count to win the match and retain the title. Katsumata gave Sumi credit for coming up with a good time to cash in the shield and now acknowledges he is an “Extreme Man”. They are still going to be linked together as part of the Shin NωA and will be teaming up again soon for the IPPON Lighttube Tag Team Death Match. An upset To-y told the rest of The 37KAMIINA he will win one of the remaining Right To Challenge Shields so he can finally challenge Iino for the Universal Title.

The rules of the Birmingham Style Match is you are only allowed to pin your opponent or give them the Lip Lock if they are wearing a thong. Danshoku Dieno obviously was happy to strip down to his thong straight away but Chris Brookes wrestled the match in his normal outfit. He refused to wear a thong even when Ilusion told him everyone in the audience wanted to see him in one. A ref bump led to Ilusion and Makoto Oishi both getting their tights pulled down to so they were wearing thongs. When the ref recovered he refused to count the pin after Brookes gave Dieno the Praying Mantis Bomb. Brookes stripped down to his boxers but that still didn’t count so he finally put on a thong over them. Dieno then gave Brookes the Lip Lock and pinned him with the Gedo Clutch to become the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion once more. Dieno wants everyone in DDT and the company itself to properly recognize that he beat Brookes in a singles match. Brookes told reporters he drank a Strong Zero immediately after the match in order to quickly forget what happened to him.

Akito stood around ringside after Shinya Aoki’s match but assured him he wasn’t going to cash in his Right To Challenge Shield for a KO-D Openweight Title shot today. If Akito did that and got beaten badly by Aoki then nobody would be manning the concession stand after the show. He instead asked Aoki to hold an autograph sessions over at the stand. Aoki liked the idea and agreed to do it.

Three major singles matches in a row for Yuya Koroku ended with him not winning any of them. He is coming out of the mini-series with a positive attitude though because he learned a lot from fighting three very strong opponents. He’s been looking for a way to catch up with the rest of his generation after coming back from injury and this series has left him fulfilled. Aoki praised him for being strong but thinks he could have reached even higher today. He thinks it will be a waste if Koroku can’t go any further.

Noriyuki Yoshida’s Modified Rock Bottom finisher is really called the mo:tatterarehen? Okay then. What does that even mean? I tried looking it up and couldn’t find anything.

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 TOUR IN SAPPORO – DAY 1” Results

September 15, 2024

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 TOUR IN SAPPORO – DAY 1”, 15/09/2024
Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza
319 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Special Single Match: Takeshi Masada defeated Makoto Oishi with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (11:29).
2. Kazuki Hirata defeated Kazuma Sumi with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (8:04).
3. Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino defeated Noriyuki Yoshida & Yuki Ishida when Iino pinned Ishida with the Spear (10:44).
4. Yukio Naya defeated Yuya Koroku with the Choke Slam (10:07).
5. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Chris Brookes, Akito & Ilusion defeated Jun Akiyama, Tomoya & Danshoku Dieno (c) when Brookes pinned Dieno with the Praying Mantis Bomb (14:58).
*Chris Brookes becomes the 1,670th champion.
6. Special Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & HARASHIMA defeated MAO & Keigo Nakamura when Aoki pinned Nakamura (11:53).
7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul (c) defeated Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y when Sasaki submitted Katsumata with the Crossface Lock (21:20).
*V1 for DAMNATION T.A.

At last DAMNATION T.A have secured a successful first KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles defence. It took them four title reigns to finally get it done. Maybe it is because they took on a team from The 37KAMIINA that aren’t performing at their absolute best at the moment. To-y went into the title match already hurting because he again tried to cash in his Right To Challenge Shield on Yuki Iino and took a Spear from the DDT Universal Champion. Or perhaps we should just give credit where it’s due and accept DAMNATION T.A succeeded through hard work… and good old fashioned cheating. During the match Daisuke Sasaki knocked Shunma Katsumata off the top rope onto some chairs set up at ringside. Katsumata later tried to attack Sasaki with a chair but the referee grabbed it off him. That allowed Sasaki to get him in the Crossface Lock and win by submission. KANON said they have now escaped the curse of zero defence title reigns. Sasaki wants to go celebrate by drinking around Susukino all night long.

It turns out MAO has high expectations for Keigo Nakamura and wanted to see how he would fare against a team like Shinya Aoki & HARASHIMA. They even came close to winning a few times. Nakamura was able to trap Aoki in an Ankle Lock and it was only broken up because HARASHIMA Body Slammed MAO on top of him. Aoki was then able to out-wrestle Nakamura on the canvas and pin his arms to the mat for the three count to win the match. MAO said nobody realizes just how much of an amazing wrestler Nakamura is. He thinks one of these days he might send him off on excursion somewhere.

Chris Brookes pinned Danshoku Dieno in their 6-Man Tag Match to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from him. He now holds three different championships (Iron Man, KO-D Tag Team Titles and KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles) so he should be recognized as a Triple Crown champ! However he has a singles match with Dieno scheduled for tomorrow and he suggested it should be a Birmingham Style Match. Dieno accepted the challenge because he will do anything to win back the Iron Man Title. Oh, and Brookes is happy that Ilusion was on the winning team today. Ilusion’s reward is he gets to carry the three championship belts for Brookes.

Takeshi Masada said he would never had joined DDT if it wasn’t for Makoto Oishi. Even after Masada made his debut Oishi has been there to give him advice and do other kind things for him. It was even Oishi’s recommendation that Masada changed his gear from long pants to short tights. Masada definitely wants to have another singles match with Oishi in DDT some day so he can win perfectly next time.
