2a. Rematch: Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari defeated Akito, Antonio Honda & Kazuki Hirata (w/ Sanshiro Takagi) when Iino pinned Hirata with La Magistral Cradle (10:08).
3. Yukio Sakaguchi & MAO defeated Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku when Sakaguchi submitted Koroku with the Triangle Choke (7:59).
4. Minoru Fujita & KANON defeated Shunma Katsumata & El Unicorn when KANON submitted Unicorn with the Cobra Twist (12:31).
5. Special Single Match: Yuji Hino defeated Makoto Oishi with the Fuckin’ BOMB (10:23).
6. Masahiro Takanashi & Chris Brookes defeated Yuki Ueno & Soma Takao when Takanashi pinned Takao with the Everclear (13:42).
7. Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura defeated Hideki Okatani & Yuki Ishida by Knockout when Higuchi gave Ishida the Buchikamashi (19:21).
Positive covid tests during the week resulted in this show getting matches changed several times. Kazusada Higuchi was meant to have his first preview tag match with Tetsuya Endo today but Endo was absent due to covid. Instead Harimao were put against the young generation team of Hideki Okatani & Yuki Ishida. Despite putting up as strong a fight as they could, the youngsters were destroyed by Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura by the end. Ishida couldn’t get up past the 10 count after he was hit with the Buchikamashi so Higuchi was awarded the match by knockout. Higuchi encouraged Ishida to keep going at this level because he will accept a challenge from him anytime. Meanwhile Yoshimura’s advice to Okatani is to stop thinking too much about what to do. He needs to keep it simple and put all of his feelings into his fights.
Yuki Ueno thanked Masahiro Takanashi for nominating him for the DDT Universal Title match on 20th August. It’s a match Ueno has wanted to do many times but something would always stop it from happening. He also wants to become Universal Champion so he can spread DDT across the world and make the company more exciting. Takanashi praised Ueno for his speech and told him only the top wrestlers in DDT can say things like he did. Since Takanashi was outside the ring at this point he saw how funny it is that the challenger is in the ring looking down at the champion in this situation. But that has always been Takanashi’s story and history in DDT. On 20th August he will put that history against Ueno with the Universal Title on the line.
The original plan was for Yuji Hino & Makoto Oishi to team up again but illnesses turned the match into a singles bout between them instead. Hino’s overwhelming power defeated Oishi’s quick thinking and the two stayed in good moods after the match. The two agreed to move their tag team reunion to next week’s show in Chiba. The Ω (Omega) revival will happen after all!
El Unicorn was unmasked by DAMNATION T.A for the second time. This time it was KANON who pulled off the hood right after he submitted him with the Cobra Twist. Hideki Okatani ran in and attacked KANON in response to this. The rest of Eruption entered the ring and challenged DAMNATION T.A for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles on 4th September. Even though Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul were not at the show, Minoru Fujita accepted the challenge on their behalf. KANON also nodded in agreement. Backstage Unicorn promised to beat all of DAMNATION T.A to a pulp until he is satisfied!
Match #2 was turned into a Lucha Rules match in tribute to Toru Owashi who was off the show sick with covid. Yumehito Imanari then immediately pinned Kazuki Hirata to win the match. A restart was agreed upon and this time Hirata’s team tried to work in Owashi’s moves. It was all going to plan until the White Briefs Man emerged and gave Hirata a Low Blow. Yuki Iino then added insult to injury by pinning him with La Magistral Cradle, a move Owashi usually wins with.
Sanshiro Takagi attacked the White Briefs Man after the match and unmasked him in the ring. His identity is Keigo Nakamura! Or is it? It turns out he was just a decoy because another White Briefs Man, the original one, ran into the ring and gave Takagi a Low Blow. Danshoku Dieno bragged that the masked man’s identity is still a mystery until 14th August. The only clue people learned today is it’s not Nakamura. Dieno also stirred the pot further by pointing out how suspicious it is that Owashi isn’t here today. Imanari said the people who can’t wait and want to find out now are all premature ejaculators. Takagi forgave Nakamura for his involvement in this stunt and they two of them will spend tomorrow finding out who White Briefs Man really is. Nakamura explained the last thing he remembers is crossing paths with Pheromones and his memory stops there until Takagi unmasked him. He also said he is still rehabilitating his injury so it will be a little while longer until he returns to wrestling. But when he does come back he will be in perfect condition as himself.
The show opening speech was done by HARASHIMA via phone call. He said he is already feeling fine after testing positive with covid.

DDT “SUMMER VACATION 2022”, 24/07/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
624 Fans
1. Makoto Oishi Return Match: Akito & Yasu Urano defeated Makoto Oishi & Kazuki Hirata when Urano pinned Hirata with a Cradle (0:14).

5. Tetsuya Endo Return Match ~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Chris Brookes defeated HARASHIMA, Yukio Sakaguchi & Soma Takao when Endo pinned Takao with the Burning Star Press (16:24).
6. DDT Universal Title: Masahiro Takanashi (c) defeated Yusuke Okada with the Takatonic (10:55).
*V1 for Masahiro Takanashi.
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura defeated MAO & Asuka (c) when Higuchi pinned MAO with the Brain Claw Slam (20:07).
*VENIMAO fail in V1. Harimao become the 75th KO-D Tag Team Champions!
The new wind blowing through DDT now has a name. Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura started off the show announcing their tag team from this point forward will be called Harimao. In the main event they went on to beat MAO & Asuka to capture the KO-D Tag Team Titles! MAO wasn’t pleased to hear they came up with a name that sounds similar to his own, so he retroactively named his team with Asuka VENIMAO. The champions didn’t give up easily. They hit Higuchi with the Doomsday Shiranui only for Yoshimura to break the count. Harimao recovered to give Asuka an Assisted Razor’s Edge. Higuchi then grabbed MAO to do the Brain Claw Slam for the victory. The title change means Higuchi is now a double crown champion! He thanked MAO & Asuka after the match for taking Harimao’s challenge on short notice.
Higuchi then turned his attention to “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2022” on 20th August. He knows he is going to defend the KO-D Openweight Title on the show but does not have an opponent yet. He will change that now because he wants to nominate Tetsuya Endo as his challenger! Endo came out and said he is grateful to Higuchi for carrying DDT in his absence along with everyone else in the company. Today Endo got back on his feet with his return match and wants to repay everyone for their support by returning to the top and becoming KO-D Champion again. He turned down Higuchi’s nomination but only so he can be the one to throw out the challenge instead. It will be Higuchi Vs Endo for the KO-D Title at Ota Ward Gymnasium!
A leg injury may have cost Yusuke Okada his only chance to win the DDT Universal Title. He hurt his leg early in the match and Masahiro Takanashi decided to target it from that point on. Takanashi bending the rules by physcially getting the referee in the way stopped Okada from building up any momentum. He finally got back on track but Takanashi avoided the Sudden Death, stunned Okada with a Super Kick and pinned him with the Takatonic. The audience showed their appreciation to Okada after the match but it seems like Takanashi is done with him and moving on. He is taking Okada’s idea of nominating Yuki Ueno as the next challenger. Ueno was not at the show due to having covid but he when he recovers he will get the title shot at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2022”. Takanashi thinks that out of all of the new generation wrestlers in DDT, Ueno may be the one and is a can’t miss opponent. If Takanashi can beat him then he will start to look outside of DDT for young wrestlers to defend the Universal Title against.
Endo’s return from his concussion was as part of a 6-Man Tag Match. He was supposed to be in full on BURNING trio with Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku but Koroku was a close contact suspect and pulled off the show. Chris Brookes replaced him and had no problems with being part of the team. Any worries about the state of Endo’s health went away after HARASHIMA slapped him across the head and Endo kept fighting. Soma Takao quickly congratulated Endo on his return while hitting his moves on him. Endo turned the tables by countering the Gin And Tonic with the Tetsuya In The Sky. A Torture Rack Bomb only got a 2 count so Endo went for the Burning Star Press to complete his comeback with a win. Endo said today was the happiest he felt since his debut match because when you get into the ring there is no guarantee you will get out of it in one piece. He will no longer apologise to the fans for what happened to him, instead he will tell them “thank you” for their support. Akiyama’s advice to him is he can turn what happened into an opportunity and then do his best with it. Even Endo’s opponents were positive over his return. Yukio Sakaguchi said there is no shame if Endo was fighting with himself over how far he fell because the only direction to go next is to climb up.
More covid problems affected the card. DAMNATION T.A was supposed to defend the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles against The 37KAMIINA but that was cancelled because Ueno and Toi Kojima were both absent. Shunma Katsumata is still here but now his tag team partners are Shinya Aoki and El Unicorn. The latter in particular was unexpectedly targeted by Daisuke Sasaki while MJ Paul & KANON dealt with the the others. Sasaki’s attempts to get a fall on Unicorn kept getting cut off so he ended up losing his temper and unmasked Unicorn for the disqualification! Backstage Unicorn demanded a match with Sasaki. Meanwhile Sasaki made a similar challenge but wants to take it one step further. His idea is to face El Unicorn in a Mask Vs Hair match, Mascara Contra Cabellera!
Just when you think Pheromones are all out of surprises, they pull another one out of their hats. Sanshiro Takagi thought he had them on the ropes after his involvement in getting Yuki Iino to lose the DDT Extreme Title. Today his plan was to destroy them once and for all with help from Toru Owashi & Gota Ihashi. Instead a masked man in a shirt and underwear ran out during the match. He then took off his underwear, wore it over his hand and gave Ihashi the Ultimate Venom Arm. Iino took over by putting Ihashi in the Ketsugoye until Ihashi gave up. Danshoku Dieno told everyone that Pheromones now has a new member. He may remind everyone of Michael Nakazawa but according to Dieno it may not be him! The masked man’s identity will remain a mystery for now until 14th August when he will be revealed for all to see.
A scheduled 3 Way Tag Match turned into a 2 Vs 3 Handicap Match because of covid related absences. Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya were almost unmovable objects for Antonio Honda, Saki Akai & Ilusion to try and topple. Honda warned Ilusion not to get Chopped by Hino only to get Chopped himself. Akai tried to give Hino the Quetzalcoatl but he wouldn’t budge due to the massive size difference. Gongistune was the only move effective against the heavyweights but even that couldn’t stop Naya from submitting Honda for the win.
Endo was not the only wrestler returning from injury on this show. Makoto Oishi was out for a year with a hip injury and today was going to be the next chapter of his wrestling career. He was teaming with Kazuki Hirata and their opponents were meant to be Akito & Yuki Ishida. However Ishida was pulled off the show and replaced with Yasu Urano. Oishi made his big entrance with a brand new look but by the time he made it to the ring, Urano had already won the match by pinning Hirata with a Roll Up. Hisaya Imabayashi demanded an immediate rematch for Oishi’s sake. The same thing happened only this time Oishi broke the pin so the match could continue. It went on as normal until the ending when Oishi climbed the top rope wanting to do a cool move only to see Akito put Hirata in an Anklelock to win the match. Oishi stayed still on the top rope and had a microphone handed to him. He said he was able to come back thanks to everyone’s support. He wants to carry DDT on his shoulders and made it his goal to win a championship.
Right before the summer began, DDT introduced five new trainees under their development system. Imabayashi announced that one of them is about to make their pro debut! Takeshi Masada will take on HARASHIMA on 14th August in his first match after only three months of training. It will be the quickest pro wrestling debut in DDT history. Masada is 21 years old, from Osaka and has a background in basketball and Shorinji Kempo.
The Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Battle Royal will be return on 14th August.

Let’s start off with some good news. When we last heard about Gorgeous Matsuno, he was taking a leave of absence from pro wrestling to become a kidney donor for his partner Junko Tashiro. The treatment is scheduled for the end of August which gave Matsuno a chance to compete in one last Best Body Japan bodybuilding contest. This week he entered the Legend Class (60+ year old) of the Model Japan 2022 Sendai Tournament and won it!

6. DDT Universal Title: Masahiro Takanashi (c) Vs Yusuke Okada
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & Asuka (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura
The KO-D Tag Team Champions are ready to defend the belts against all challengers. MAO wants this title reign to start an era where weight class and gender division do not matter. Asuka has been absent from the warm up matches but wants to win the match with her usual groove and vigor. Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura are planning to announce the name of their new tag team on the show. They continue to talk about a “new wind” blowing through DDT which may be a hint.
Yusuke Okada promises that if he wins the DDT Universal Title, he will defend it against Yuki Ueno in a rematch from last January to show how much he has changed since then. Masahiro Takanashi wants this title reign to be different from the previous champions. At first his plan was to defend it against the new generation of DDT wrestlers but now that international travel is possible, he now also wants to defend the belt overseas like it was originally meant to be.
Whenever Tetsuya Endo is about to have an important match he goes to visit Kenta Kobashi for advice. He did the same yesterday looking for words of wisdom so he can get back on his feet. Endo told Kobashi he has completely recovered from his concussion and is back to training with the same intensity as he did before. Kobashi’s opinion is he thinks Endo lacks anger and brings up the story of the shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. As the legend goes, when Ieyasu was defeated in battle and escaped with his life he immediately got a portrait painted of himself looking defeated to fuel his anger. Kobashi asked Endo to re-watch the match where Katsuhiko Nakajima knocked him out so he can draw out his anger. Kobashi also told him when the time comes it will be necessary for Endo to get his revenge.
Yuki Ueno is off the show with covid. The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match was cancelled during the week along with that news. A non-title match with Shinya Aoki substituting Ueno was the replacement match. But now Kojima is sick too so he is getting replaced by El Unicorn.
One year after his back injury, Makoto Oishi is now about to return to the ring. He had a metal fitting removed in June and wanted to go through his rehab as quick as possible so he could wrestle again. He is looking forward to his match but is worried newer fans who hadn’t seen him wrestle before will think he is copying Shunma Katsumata & MAO with his moveset. Oishi also wants to do his best so his two year old daughter Akari will say he looks cool.

It’s an NωA reunion for MAO and Oishi. This match was requested by Oishi to take place in Miyagi because it is where he suffered his back injury one year ago.

If Oishi can sell 50 more tickets than MAO and also beat him in the match then MAO will show respect and be called his disciple again.

2. DDT Extreme Title – Fluorescent Lighttube IPPON Death Match: Akito (c) Vs Joey Janela
A classic stipulation makes its return. Akito will defend the DDT Extreme Title against Joey Janela in a single lighttube death match! There will only be one lighttube in the ring. If you smash it over your opponent or if they break it by mistake then you win the match! Akito treats the match stipulation like it is his family heirloom. He considers Janela to be a creative wrestler which is why he chose his “masterpiece” to be the match type. However he noticed Janela never said Akito’s name when he tweeted about his desire to become the Extreme Champion. Akito is trying to look on the bright side. If world class wrestlers are coming to DDT, this is his chance to make a name for himself around the world! Akito also keeps notes on his phone whenever he comes up with a new idea for a match. He currently has 18 different ideas for future title defences.

7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles Tournament – Final: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani when Sasaki submitted Okatani with the Crossface Lock (20:04).
*DAMNATION T.A become the 46th KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!
An unlikely figure has taken it upon himself to defend DDT against NOAH at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022” next month. It’s Daisuke Sasaki! First he led DAMNATION T.A to victory against Eruption, reclaiming the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles that were stripped from them after Minoru Fujita’s injury. This wasn’t the heroic bit because Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON attacked Eruption with chairs. Sasaki even hit Saki Akai with a chairshot when she tried to intervene. Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi did what they could to keep Hideki Okatani in the fight but that was blown when Okatani missed the Diving Knee Drop. KANON softened him up more and Sasaki gave him the Blade Runner to set up a Crossface Lock for the submission victory.
Sasaki said his team deserved to win this “stupid” tournament. He recommended Okatani to get rid of his tacky red hair and costume so he can join DAMNATION T.A. He then praised KANON as a million dollar talent. This was when Sasaki stepped up for DDT and declared he will beat Kenoh at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022” for the company. He warned the rest of DDT not to stand there and just watch the match. They are the champions now which means DDT revolves around Daisuke Sasaki & DAMNATION T.A! Meanwhile Eruption are licking their wounds. Sakaguchi said they will learn from the loss and adapt because any combination of unit is capable of winning the championship. Higuchi said he will rampage against the NOAH wrestlers as an individual member of Eruption while Sakaguchi said he will take his frustration out on Ganbare☆Pro!
History was made with Asuka becoming the first woman to win the KO-D Tag Team Titles! With MAO as her tag partner, they defeated CDK in a chaotic bout that saw MAO get buried underneath the entrance gate early in the match. MAO escaped and then used the entrance gate to Moonsault onto Chris Brookes below. Asuka did her own risky high flying by delivering a Missile Dropkick to CDK and Antonio Honda outside the ring. More double team moves came quick and fast from both teams until MAO used the Michinoku Driver II on Brookes to get the upper had. Brookes tried to reverse course but MAO pulled out the Osaka Rinkai Upper (a Super Delfin signature move) to create the title change. MAO said he doesn’t now how long this adventure with Asuka can go but he is going to enjoy it. Asuka didn’t expect to cry over this and thinks they can make something amazing together even as an impromptu tag team. MAO will also now be a double champion defending the DDT Universal Title against Masahiro Takanashi on 1st June.
The present and future of DDT in many forms were put together into an 8-Man Tag Match. All of BURNING was on one side and they were victorious against the mixture of heavyweight tag and DDTeeeen!! wrestlers. El Unicorn wanted to be put to the test and targeted both Tetsuya Endo & Jun Akiyama. The latter lost his cool towards Unicorn’s behavior and Yusuke Okada had to stop Akiyama from Piledriving the kid. When that was cleared, Okada had his hands full with fighting Ilusion. If that wasn’t enough, Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya also wanted a piece of Endo when they could. Unicorn took centre stage again by pairing off against Yuya Koroku in the final moments. The youngster showed his toughness by gutting it out for as long as he could but Koroku made him give up in the end. Akiyama was still annoyed afterwards that the others stopped him from giving Unicorn the Piledriver. Both Unicorn and Ilusion were disappointed with the result. Unicorn promised to get more experience. Ilusion reminded him they aren’t friends and he will beat him up on the way to surpassing Endo & Akiyama.
After weeks of teasing from Carousel❤️Shun, her shy friend Elizabeth❤️Toy finally made her first public appearance as the Super Hardcore Girls took on the Prominence pair of Suzu Suzuki & Akane Fujita. Toy entered to “All The Things She Said” by t.A. T.u. and wrestled in clothes that came straight from that act. It was a Hardcore Match featuring tables, Lego blocks, ladders, concrete blocks and more. Shun missed a baseball bat swing aimed for Suzuki and hit Toy instead. Suzuki capitalized and pinned Toy with the German Suplex onto the ring filled with Lego. After the match she demanded to fight Shunma Katsumata instead of an “old hag” like Shun. Shun claimed she is 18 years old and will go get Katsumata. She also wants to do a full Super Hardcore Girls show in the future. Fujita later said she is open to have Prominence involved in that if there really are more Super Hardcore Girls out there. She also told Suzuki to work on her vocabulary because she keeps using the same old insults on Katsumata.
The promise of an exciting match against Yuki Ueno had Kazuki Hirata acting different today. He came out to his old theme song and even threw away his Hirata GO! glasses to show how determined he was to win. He wrestled seriously for five minutes but when it was clear he couldn’t beat Ueno he pulled out another pair of GO! glasses and returned to his normal self. Ueno had a pair of glasses too and they both danced together until Hirata tried to Cradle his opponent. Ueno hit the WR on him instead and won the match. Hirata said he wants the rematch to be a death match but it doesn’t have to happen until 23 years time.
Akito’s plan to infiltrate Pheromones and destroy it from within hit a snag. He reluctantly joined in with their shenanigans against HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Antonio Honda and even picked up the win. However Danshoku Dieno told Akito after the match he didn’t exhibit any pheromones at all. He will need to pass the Excalibur Challenge to join the unit. The challenge involves Akito having to pull a sword sticking out of Yuki Iino’s butt. He tried it there and then but failed. Dieno then explained you can only do the challenge once per day so Akito will have to try again tomorrow. Sanshiro Takagi is holding a promotional event tomorrow so they will do it there.
Naomi Yoshimura’s use of the Harai Goshi judo throw continues to get him wins. This time the move put down Yuki Ishida in the opening match.
The full field of 16 wrestlers were announced for the King Of DDT 2022 tournament beginning next month. They are Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama, HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura, MAO, Yuki Ueno, Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi, Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi, Hideki Okatani, Yuji Hino, Yukio Naya, Daisuke Sasaki, KANON and Yuki Iino.
Kota Umeda will return to DDT for the first time in 3 years at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2022” on 20th August. Umeda was a key part of DNA, DDT’s developmental brand that ran from 2014 to 2018. He briefly left pro wrestling in 2019 to help run his family business but returned on a part-time basis in 2020.

The show is either happening right now or already happened while I write this but I want to get this news post out of the way so I can enjoy the rest of my Sunday.
DDT “DDT FREE -MAY-”, 11/05/2022
Shinjuku FACE
1. Saki Akai & Soma Takao Vs Maya Yukihi & Kazuki Hirata
2. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs Toru Owashi & Akito
3. HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yuji Hino & Toui Kojima

7. Road To Audience 2022! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Antonio Honda Vs MAO, Asuka & Shunma Katsumata
A world tour is on the minds of CDK and Antonio Honda wants to join in. MAO needs the help from both of his tag team partners Shunma Katsumata & Asuka to make sure it will not be done at his expense.
While Tetsuya Endo waits for his next challenger to appear, BURNING will take on itself for a friendly tag match.
BASARA “BASARA 190 ~TAKAGARI 8~”, 14/05/2022
Takashimadaira Ward Community Center
1. Lil’ Kraken Vs Banana Senga
2. Daichi Kazato Vs Yasu Urano
3. Takato Nakano Vs Tsutomu Oosugi
4. Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura Vs SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa
5. Elimination 6-Man Tag Match: Takumi Tsukamoto, Fuminori Abe & Masato Kamino Vs FUMA, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Antonio Honda
I think Masato Kamino is the one to keep an eye on after his win against Isami Kodaka last month. Out of that line up in the main event he is the one I see getting the next Union MAX Title shot.
DDT “AUDIENCE 2022”, 22/05/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Toru Owashi & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Antonio Honda & Yuki Ishida
2. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs HARASHIMA & Akito
3. Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku Vs Yuji Hino, Yukio Naya, Ilusion & El Unicorn
4. Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Kazuki Hirata
5. Super Hardcore Girls Vs Prominence Full-Scale Battle ~ Special Hardcore Match: Carousel❤️Shun & Elizabeth❤️Toy Vs Suzu Suzuki & Akane Fujita
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi (c) Vs MAO & Asuka
7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles Tournament – Final: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani
The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles will either be won by Eruption or go back to DAMNATION T.A. The arrival of KANON to the unit along with Minoru Fujita still hanging around to interfere gives the previous champions the advantage. But Eruption aren’t in the mood to take on cheaters and Hideki Okatani in particular is looking to fight KANON.
The DDTeeeen!! pair are continuing to get big opportunities. Now Ilusion and El Unicorn are getting thrown in there with BURNING. They have the big boys Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya on their team to make it a more fair fight. Keep in mind there is a 38 year age difference between Jun Akiyama and El Unicorn.
DDT “BIG BATH REVIVAL! SHIRO NO YU ROJO PRO WRESTLING RETURNS”, 29/05/2022
Kumamoto Castle Natural Hot Spring
1. Falls Count Anywhere Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & Yukio Naya Vs Shunma Katsumata & Toui Kojima
For the first time DDT will hold a Falls Count Anywhere match inside the Kumamoto Hot Spring with an audience watching on. Thirty people will be allowed to see the match but they will be advised to be socially distant and be barefoot because they will get wet.

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Battle Royal: Shinichiro Kawamatsu (c) (w/ Nobutatsu Suzuki) Vs X
2. DDT Extreme Title: Yuki “Sexy” Iino (c) Vs AKIRA
3. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi
After a failed attempt by Pokotan to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title, DDT have booked Shinichiro Kawamatsu to defend the belt in a Battle Royal. However he has hired former MMA fighter Nobutatsu Suzuki as his bodyguard and he will be there to protect his client from all threats.
“CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022”, 12/06/2022
Saitama Super Arena
1. NOAH Vs DDT Battle ~ Special Single Match: Kenoh Vs Daisuke Sasaki
2. GHC Heavyweight Title: Go Shiozaki (c) Vs Satoshi Kojima
The full card will be revealed on 10th May. The latest drama surrounding NOAH is NOSAWA Rongai leaving the company after his contract was not renewed. NOAH’s business under his watch as booker has apparently not made the higher ups (as in those above Sanshiro Takagi) in CyberFight/CyberAgent happy. Kendo Kashin is said to be the new booker and I worry about that. He has such a bizarre sense of humour when he does his own angles and is left to his own devices. I have no idea what to expect when he has an entire company worth of storylines to deal with. There are also rumours of frustration among certain parts of the roster over who gets pushed strong (along with the better pay that comes with it) and why. I do not think this effects the “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022” lineup in any way that matters. As a long term story though there can be more and even bigger fallouts to come if NOAH’s position doesn’t improve.

DDT “AUDIENCE 2022 TOUR IN SHINJUKU”, 06/05/2022
Shinjuku FACE
172 Fans
1. Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku defeated Yuji Hino, Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida when Koroku submitted Ishida with the Chickenwing Arm Lock (12:25).
2. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno defeated Antonio Honda & Kazuki Hirata when Iino pinned Honda with the Sexy Giga Slash (9:10).
3. Children’s Day Special! DDTeeeen!! Challenge Match I: Yuki Ueno defeated Ilusion with a Frog Splash (7:48).
4. Children’s Day Special! DDTeeeen!! Challenge Match II: Tetsuya Endo defeated El Unicorn with the Swivel Torture Rack Bomb (14:14).
5. The 46th KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles Tournament – Round 1: Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani defeated Akito, Hikaru Machida & Thanomsak Toba when Okatani pinned Toba with the Northern Lights Suplex (12:19).
6. The 46th KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles Tournament – Round 1: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON defeated HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Naomi Yoshimura when Sasaki submitted Yoshimura with La Mistica Crossface Lock (18:18).
7. CDK Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi defeated MAO & Shunma Katsumata when Takanashi pinned Katsumata after the Everclear (18:42).
Momentum is on CDK’s side after today. They grabbed the win over ShunMao and it gave an opportunity afterward for Masahiro Takanashi to make some comments. MAO recently accused him of becoming detached from DDT because of his partial schedule with the company. Takanashi denies it, explaining some of his time away was because of injury. He wants everyone to believe that no matter what ring he is in, he is fighting for DDT. He has support from Chris Brookes and Antonio Honda backing him up too. After CDK defends the KO-D Tag Team Titles, the three of them want to go on a world tour pointing to Thailand, Singapore, Europe and India as their most wanted destinations. Backstage MAO was pleased to hear Takanashi’s response because they’ve bought seen plenty of people leave DDT over the last 6 or 7 years. MAO would be feeling more lonely if Takanashi was to leave too. It motivates MAO to defend the DDT Universal Title even more so it can truly become a universal championship.
The tournament to crown the next KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions has come down to Eruption and DAMNATION T.A reaching the final. Eruption defeated the mixture of martial arts fighters Akito, Hikaru Machida & Thanomsak Toba with Hideki Okatani getting the pin. Toba in particular was left feeling down over taking the fall but still encourages Machida to take his place as the gloved pro wrestler. DAMNATION T.A eliminated DISASTER BOX thanks to some cheating. Minoru Fujita pulled the referee out of the ring so his team could attack their opponents with a chair, leading to their victory. Eruption faced off with them after the match warning that using a chair on them won’t work. Okatani also wanted to pick a fight with KANON because of his sudden change into becoming a cheater. If KANON joined DAMNATION T.A for company then Okatani promises to beat him up and leave him on his own when he is done. Daisuke Sasaki swore to win back the titles that were stripped from DAMNATION T.A.
The DDTeeeen!! generation were given their toughest challenges yet in their young careers. They had to fight two of the top wrestlers in DDT. Despite their best efforts El Unicorn could not beat Tetsuya Endo and Ilusion lost to Yuki Ueno. Endo was left dizzy by Unicorn’s performance and encourage him to work hard so he can reach the level where Endo can hate him. Ueno could sense the energy coming from Ilusion despite not being able to see his face. The matches were a wakeup call for the teenagers but they are getting the encouragement to continue because they have so much left ahead of them. Unicorn is only 14 and already has his sights set on the KO-D Openweight Title as his long term goal. Ilusion will be turning 20 soon and wants to dominate DDTeeeen!! until he graduates into becoming an adult pro wrestler.
Pokotan and Hisaya Imabayashi both travelled to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government earlier in the day to search for Shinichiro Kawamatsu. Pokotan was going to ambush the politician and win back the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title with Imabayashi acting as the referee. However their plan was foiled when Kawamatsu’s bodyguard came to the rescue and knocked Pokotan out. The bodyguard was revealed to be Nobutatsu Suzuki, an accomplished MMA fighter and former ONE FC Welterweight Champion! DDT later announced that Kawamatsu will have to defend the Iron Man Title in a Battle Royal on 1st June. They were told Suzuki will be with him.
Yuki Iino has renamed his Lariat the Sexy Giga Slash. He called out Shinya Aoki after winning the match with the move.
DDT will return to the Kumamoto Castle Natural Hot Spring on 29th May for a Street Wrestling Match and this time a small audience will be allowed to attend it. Shinya Aoki & Yukio Naya Vs Shunma Katsumata & Toui Kojima is the advertised bout.

4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles Tournament – Final: X, X & X Vs X, X & X
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi (c) Vs MAO & Asuka
A double championship conflict is forming between MAO and CDK. MAO is teaming up with Asuka to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. However it was only granted when Masahiro Takanashi got a DDT Universal Title shot in return. MAO originally considered Toui Kojima to be his partner to keep his plans within The 37KAMIINA. But he sees a lot of momentum coming out of the pairing between himself and Asuka. If he wants to get proper results he understands he should not ignore that momentum. If they can win the KO-D Tag Titles then that means three people from Miyagi will be champions in DDT (Tetsuya Endo would be the third)!
Prominence are chasing after Shunma Katsumata to get revenge for him eliminating Suzu Suzuki from the King Of Street Tournament. Katsumata wants nothing to do with them and refused to give her any rematch. However Katsumata’s relative Carousel❤️Shun has suddenly appeared wanting to fight Suzuki in his place. She claims she has spent the entire pandemic wrestling in America. She also has a friend named Elizabeth❤️Toy who is allegedly Toui Kojima’s relative. Kojima denies this, sees through “Shun’s” plan and wants nothing to do with it. Too bad for him though because the Super Hardcore Girls Shun & Toy are going to fight Suzuki & Akane Fujita in a Hardcore Tag Match!
DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2022 TOUR IN KUMAMOTO”, 29/05/2022
Kumamoto Castle Hall Civic Hall
1. Special Single Match: Saki Akai Vs Maya Yukihi
The previous plan for Saki Akai and Maya Yukihi to form an all women tag team is put on hold so they can have one more match against each other. Yukihi cannot help but think what would happen if they had a rematch of their bout at Sumo Hall so she convinced Akai to go ahead with it. Akai is adamant however this will be the only rematch.
DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2022”, 01/06/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. DDT Extreme Title: Yuki “Sexy” Iino (c) Vs AKIRA
2. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi
There have been times in recent years when Takanashi has been away from DDT. That means he has not wrestled MAO as much as he would have liked. When he returned, Takanashi was worried he was falling out of love with DDT. But thanks to CDK he is having more fun here than ever before! He hopes the Universal Title match will make people think DDT is good.
The DDT GM Hisaya Imabayashi won his feud with Pheromones but before he considers the matter closed there is one more thing involving them he wants to do. He would like to see AKIRA become a champion one more time so AKIRA is going to fight Yuki Iino for the DDT Extreme Title!
DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2022”, 20/08/2022
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium
1. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs X
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs X
Right now this is the next confirmed date for a KO-D Openweight Title defence. Tetsuya Endo has not heard anything about what he is doing at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022” yet. He prefers his next challenger to be someone who can confidently say they can represent DDT. However he will defend the title against anyone if he has to even if it’s against a NOAH wrestler at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL”. He has been reserved over making comments about other companies on purpose for that reason. If a challenger shows up he will give them the title match, simple as that.
Dick Togo will return to DDT for the first time since May 2019. The way he is being promoted sounds like it is not the House Of Torture version of him either.

Here’s to ten years of Tetsuya Endo and here’s to ten years more. Some of the most important faces from his past and present gathered together for a DDT all star trios main event. Endo had Jun Akiyama and Yukio Sakaguchi on his team to take on Konosuke Takeshita, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda. It ended up with Endo and Honda exchanging Bionic Elbows until Endo cut him off with an Overhead Kick. Endo couldn’t put Honda away with the Torture Rack Bomb so he busted out the Burning Star Press for the victory.
Endo spoke about having his debut match a few months before Sakaguchi joined the company. He thanked HARASHIMA for supporting him since day one and said Honda was like a father raising him in Happy Motels. Takeshita was leaving ringside when Endo suddenly called out to him. He understands Takeshita going overseas is a big deal and told him not to worry because DDT will remain interesting as long as Endo is the KO-D Openweight Champion. He will prove it when he defends the title against Takeshita’s friend Yuki Ueno on 1st May. Endo also wants everyone to know that he will be the winner of course. Ueno got on the microphone and said he will beat Endo. He is confident he will have more wonderful days as KO-D Champion than Endo, Takeshita and even HARASHIMA! Takeshita told both of them that DDT in Japan is in good hands with either of them as the champion. Endo had one last thing to tell Takeshita. He still hates him. Ueno still loves him though.
Before everyone left the ring to end the show, Yusuke Okada asked Akiyama for his attention. He said he hasn’t been part of DDT long enough to know their history but he wants to do more to support the version of BURNING Endo has built. To do that Okada wants to himself and Akiyama to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles! The two of them were granted permission from Hisaya Imabayashi to make the challenge. CDK emerged at the entrance and both agreed to do the title match on 1st May. Endo encouraged his stablemates to win the belts so all eyes at the Yokohama Budokan will be on BURNING!
Ueno is building up momentum for his title shot. Today he teamed with MAO to beat Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani. MAO cheapshotted Higuchi with a Rock Punch and later got his just desserts when Higuchi grabbed him in the Brain Claw. But the match came down to a back and forth between Ueno and Okatani. The 37KAMIINA hit Shining Wizards and Enzuigiris to the Eruption members to get the upper hand. Ueno then came out on top with the BME onto Okatani.
The 37KAMIINA heat waves from Shunma Katsumata was a challenge for Yusuke Okada to overcome when the two of them faced off. Katsumata targeted his neck which slowed Okada down, even when he was on the attack with a Diving Headbutt. However Okada’s use of a Lariat and the Tricolor DDT did big damage and he was able to win with the Sudden Death. Okada repeated after the show that Endo can’t do all the work in BURNING. Akiyama agrees and also mentioned that he hates how CDK always gets the referee physically involved in their matches. He just as much wants to beat them up for that reason than to win the tag titles.
It’s been a busy weekend of tag team adventuring for Saki Akai. Yesterday she teamed with Yuki Arai in Tokyo Joshi Pro and today she teamed with Maya Yukihi in DDT. They were victorious over the team of Cherry & Miyako Matsumoto. Akai said she learned a lot about Yukihi by fighting her all the way over to Sumo Hall. She hopes to continue working with her so they can both improve each other. Yukihi was happy to wrestle with Cherry again but thought she was finally done with Matsumoto. She came in as a replacement for Bambi so Yukihi had to deal with her one more time.
Pheromones are no longer the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions which means DDT won’t have to worry about their title matches being banned from Youtube! With that said, this match still tried to cross the line as much as it could. Yuki Iino stripped down to his O-Back even as Daisuke Sasaki kept hitting him in the ass with a chair. Hisaya Imabayashi ran in ordering Pheromones to stop their usual antics and he gave Danshoku Dieno a Stunner. DAMNATION T.A then went on the attack with Sasaki and Iino brawling their way up towards the balcony while the GM chased after them. Meanwhile Dieno, Yumehito Imanari, Minoru Fujita and MJ Paul were still wrestling in the ring while this was going down. Up in the balcony, Sasaki fully stripped Iino naked and threw his O-Back over the balcony! Imabayashi jumped onto Iino to stop him from fully exposing himself to the audience. Back in the ring, Fujita caught Dieno in the Samson Clutch to score the win out of nowhere. After the match Sasaki said that a new member will join DAMNATION T.A on 1st May. He warned the roster that the person standing next to them may be a traitor so everyone should be looking forward to the reveal. However if a reporter wants to go drinking with Sasaki and pay his tab, he will give them a hint in return.
CDK couldn’t beat Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya in a fight because of the size difference, so they had to outsmart them to keep the KO-D Tag Titles. Naya put Masahiro Takanashi in the Cobra Twist when outside the ring, Chris Brookes rang the bell and tricked Naya into thinking he won. While Naya and the referee were distracted, Takanashi grabbed one of the Asia Dream Tag Team Title belts and nailed Naya in the head with it. Hino broke the pin to keep the match going but CDK then used a combined Crucifix and Jackknife Pin on Naya to get the three count and steal a title defence. Takanashi praised Brookes for his strange plan working out but knows they won’t be able to get away with it again. They’re relieved they won’t have to defend the titles against Hino & Naya again but the challengers think otherwise.
The DDT debut of KANON saw him defeat Yuki Ishida. KANON hit Soccer Ball Kicks, Backbreakers and K Spike chops. Ishida fought back with a Brainbuster and his Sumo Chop Rush. KANON recovered from that and put Ishida in the Cobra Twist to make him submit. He praised Ishida for having a strong core because of his sumo background. KANON also said he is looking forward to doing more with DDT in the future.
One of the dark matches went out of control thanks to the addition of Lucha tag rules. Kazuki Hirata ended up knocking out both Toru Owashi & Naomi Yoshimura so he put himself in a 3-on-1 disadvantage. His solution was to give Hirata GO! glasses to all of his opponents. Akito, Soma Takao & Gota Ihashi danced with him and then attacked. However Ihashi missed a Moonsault and Hirata rolled him up with La Magistral to escape with the win.
Two young rivalries met in the very first match of the day. El Unicorn and Ilusion continue their back and forth feud. Toui Kojima hit a setback in his rivalry against Yuya Koroku. Kojima had finally beaten him by using a Triangle Choke so he went for it again today. This time though Koroku defended himself and rolled over on top of Kojima to pin him for the three count.
The result caused Kojima to come out during the show opening announcements where Shinya Aoki was already in the ring. Kojima asked him for a singles match on 1st May so Kojima can get stronger and catch up to the rest of The 37KAMIINA. Aoki accepted and wondered if Kojima wasn’t taking things seriously until now.
The full card for the Yokohama Budokan show on 1st May was revealed at the end of the show. One of the new matches is a KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles defence. Also HARASHIMA will team with Hikaru Sato to take on Higuchi & Sakaguchi from Eruption.

It was revealed yesterday that Konosuke Takeshita is travelling to America to wrestle for AEW next month. He wrestled three matches for them in Jacksonville last year and it only motivated him to come back even bigger. His goal this time is to wrestle on TV shows like Dynamite and Rampage as well as to become a champion against the high level of competition AEW has. His stay will last a lot longer with no return date planned at the moment. He claims he won’t be using a return ticket, he only has an outbound flight in his itinerary. Although he promised he will find a way to come back to DDT for big matches every now and then. He said he is grateful to both DDT and AEW for giving him this opportunity. Takeshita is promoting this as Chapter 2 of his wrestling career.

A few of the matches coming out of yesterday’s Korakuen Hall show are getting preview bouts in Yokohama. There is also the announcement that an “athlete” who wants to participate in DDT will be at the show.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STILL INCOMPLETE ’22”, 09/04/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Pom Harajuku & Moka Miyamoto Vs Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami

3. Hyper Misao Vs Miu Watanabe

7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) Vs Yuki Aino
The new Princess Of Princess Champion doesn’t have to wait long for her first defence. Shoko Nakajima takes on Yuki Aino who is forging a new path on her own now that her sister has graduated. She is confident she can take the lead of Tokyo Joshi Pro like the previous champions have done before her.
Arisuzu aren’t shy about showing off their bond and think it is strong enough to dethrone The Magical Sugar Rabbits. The Princess Tag Team Champions are using their reign to show TJPW a whole new world filled with glitter and sparkles but they warn their challengers there is so much more to them than that.
It’s been a year and a half since Saki Akai was last in TJPW. She pops by again to team with Yuki Arai.
Can’t ask for a tougher second match for Juria Nagano. It’s Karate versus Karate when she has to take on Miyu Yamashita.
This will be Marika Kobashi’s last match in Korakuen Hall.

5. Ganpro Specialty Two Major Singles Match: Ken Ohka Vs Mizuki Watase
A fired up Mizuki Watase wants to climb to the top of Ganbare☆Pro because he doesn’t think Ken Ohka is on that level anymore. He pinned him over the weekend so they’re going to have a singles match to settle their beef.

We’re going to get a look through DDT’s history of women’s wrestling with Bambi & Cherry coming back for a special match. Saki Akai & Maya Yukihi have been looking for a reason to team together and this one seems to be just right.
El Unicorn returns after missing the Sumo Hall show with covid. He and Ilusion still have their rivalry building up. It is fitting to see that mixed together with the Toui Kojima and Yuya Koroku feud.
DDT “MEGA MAX BUMP 2022 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 01/05/2022
Yokohama Budokan
1. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Asuka
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Yuki Ueno
With Takeshita taking a leave of absence to go wrestling in AEW soon, Yuki Ueno is looking to pick up the torch and be the man to carry DDT into the future instead of Endo. It will be the first defence of the new KO-D Openweight Title belt too.
MAO is also showing a desire to wrestle abroad again and he wants the DDT Universal Title to help him do it. He challenged anyone with an international presence to face him in a title match. Asuka accepted the challenge, pointing out a recent tour of Italy and an upcoming tour of the UK as suitable qualifications to get the title shot.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND 2022 ~SPREAD THE WINGS OF YOUR DREAMS~”, 03/05/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
Former TJPW wrestler Reika Saiki announced she will be retiring from pro wrestling and muscle fitness this May. According to Saiki, TJPW will be hosting her retirement ceremony. There will be more to write about this when TJPW officially advertises it on their end.
GANBARE☆PRO “LOVE PHANTOM 2022”, 03/05/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Tatsuhito Takaiwa (c) Vs Yumehito Imanari
It was Yumehito Imanari who Tatsuhito Takaiwa defeated to be crowned the first Spirit Of Ganbare Champion. Enough time has passed for Imanari to take another crack at it. He is already playing mind games by claiming the hype video for the match will only feature footage of himself and there will be no clips of Takaiwa at all.
