DDT “KING OF DDT 2026 FINAL!!”, 31/05/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuki Ishida Vs Rukiya & Hinata Kasai
1. King Of DDT – Semi Final: Minoru Suzuki Vs Shinya Aoki
2. King Of DDT – Semi Final: MAO Vs Danshoku Dieno
3. Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Jun Akiyama, Naomi Yoshimura & Junta Miyawaki
4. Special Tag Match ~ Kaisei Takechi Return Match: Yuki Ueno & Kaisei Takechi Vs Kazuki Hirata & To-y
5. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda Vs KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI)
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
7. King Of DDT – Final: X Vs X

The match order for this weekend’s King Of DDT final has been determined. The final of course will be the main event and the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match is put in the semi-headliner spot.

DDT/NJPW “ONE-ON-ONE CONFRONTATION PART 2 ~SASADANGO-GUN VS YANO-GUN 5-ON-5 ELIMINATION TAG BATTLE~”, 08/06/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
2. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
3. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
4. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
5. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X

Sasadango-gun: Super Sasadango Machine, MAO, Kazuki Hirata, Akito

Yano-gun: Toru Yano, El Desperado, Ryusuke Taguchi, Tomoaki Honma

Something fishy is going on with the latest additions to the DDT Vs New Japan show. Both Yuki Ueno and Aaron Wolf will be there but as guests for an autograph session rather than participants in the five match series. I mean what are the chances that something will happen during the show that will draw both wrestlers into the ring for some action?

DDT “YOKOHAMA NIGHT SPLASH 2026”, 13/06/2026
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Ilusion Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul Vs Junta Miyawaki, KANON & Yuki Ishida
3. Special 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Yuki Ueni, Naomi Yoshimura & Rukiya Vs Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Akito

There will be some time for Hideki Okatani and Junta Miyawaki to wrestle each other before they fight for the DDT Extreme Title next month.

DDT “THAT’S RIGHT! LET’S GO TO BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026”, 17/06/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Yuya Koroku Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Special Single Match: Shunma Katsumata Vs Junta Miyawaki
3. Falls Count Anywhere 4 Way Tag Match: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Jun Akiyama Vs MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO)

DDT are expecting the appearance of Jun Akiyama on a Beer Garden show to result in more chaos than usual.

DDT “LET’S GO! BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026”, 18/06/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Yuki Ueno Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Crocodile Death Match BEYOND: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs MAO, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO)
3. Ring Removal Death Match: HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Shunma Katsumata, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi

Okay so whenever Michinoku Pro does their Great Space War what usually happens is the ring gets deconstructed as the match progresses. There’s also been a couple of times when Big Japan have done a death match where the ring is stripped bare of all its padding so the ring is pretty much close to dismantled anyway. I think this is going to be the first time DDT is trying out the gimmick for a match and it’s going to be during a time when a lot people will be drunk. What could go wrong?

SUPER JAPAN “BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING”, 06/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Unpaid Rumble RETURNS!: X Vs X
2. Special Single Match: Ken Ohka Vs Hayabusa
3. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs CIMA

Welcome to 2026 where a Japanese company can book a rematch from a virtually unknown WCW bout that was held in Oakland 29 years ago. CIMA got to team up with Yuji Nagata at the last Super Japan show so now he wants to face him one on one for the first time since they met in WCW almost three decades ago.

The goal of Ken Ohka ever since he launched Ganbare☆Pro was to do his part in turning pro wrestling into a major sport. That includes livening up the wrestling scene whatever way he can. He currently thinks a lot of the other indies are not doing the same so he threw out a challenge to Hayabusa from ZERO1 to help create a spark.

DDT “EARLY SUMMER BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026” Results

May 26, 2026

DDT “EARLY SUMMER BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026”, 26/05/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Hideki Okatani & Ilusion defeated Yuya Koroku & Hinata Kasai when Ilusion pinned Kasai with the Swanton Bomb (9:37).
2. 5,000 Yen Allowance Limit Weapons Allowed Death Match: Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida (w/ Ryota Nakatsu) defeated MAO & Kazuki Hirata when Sumi pinned Hirata with the School Boy (13:54).
3. Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato defeated Antonio Honda & Junta Miyawaki when Masada pinned Honda with a Modified Oosui Suplex (10:45).
4. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Rukiya with the Somato (11:39).
5. Shunma Katsumata, To-y & Akito defeated KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO) when To-y pinned Maligno with the Running T・O・Y (11:58).
6. Special Rules Drunk Match: Danshoku Dieno & Yoshihiko defeated Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes when Yoshihiko pinned Brookes after the Combined Gaydo Clutch (34:00).

Having a Beer Garden show means everybody goes there to get drunk, right? Not always. Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes made a request for today’s main event to be a Drunk Rules match. However Danshoku Dieno is currently avoiding alcohol for his health and refused to be irresponsible about it. Hisaya Imabayashi agreed it would be a bad move for DDT to force one of their wrestlers to drink when they do not want to and came up with a compromise. A Drunk Match would go ahead for Ueno and Brookes but Dieno would be allowed to drink cola instead when prompted to. Yuki Ishida was also permitted to drink on Yoshihiko’s behalf. The wrestlers would have to drink after every kickout, rope break or if music suddenly played during the match. Dieno brought Yoshihiko up to the top of a ladder while everybody held it steady for their safety (a hot topic in puroresu this week due to the same actions happening at the Best Of The Super Jr.) until Brookes decided to topple Yoshihiko over. A brawl around the arena also resulted in Yoshihiko diving off of the top of the lighting rig. Dieno drinking cola instead of alcohol brought up an unintended consequence of needing to use the bathroom so he had to abandon his tag partner for a while. When he returned armed with toilet paper, Dieno had to fight off Ueno & Brookes on his own until Yoshihiko reappeared wrapped in empty beer cans and diving into the ring. Brookes tried to force Dieno to drink alcohol but Dieno used the Lip Lock to pass the drink over to Ueno. He then made Ueno and Brookes Lip Lock each other then attacked Brookes to make him spit out the beer. Dieno & Yoshihiko then applied a Double Gaydo Clutch on Brookes to win the match after over half an hour of mayhem. After the match Dieno showed regret and admitted he may start to hate DDT’s beer garden shows. However Ueno told everybody they can still enjoy the show without the need for beer, just make sure you don’t drink as much cola as you would alcohol. Dieno wasn’t convinced by Ueno’s drunk ramblings.

After HARASHIMA won his match, he announced to everyone that he and his wife recently welcomed their second child into the world.

For the 5,000 yen weapons match Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida pooled together their money to hire Ryota Nakatsu as their weapon.

YUZUKI Joins SLC, The Monster Returns, Shinkansen Box Office Pass

May 26, 2026

DDT “EARLY SUMMER BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026”, 26/05/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Yuya Koroku & Hinata Kasai
2. 5,000 Yen Allowance Limit Weapons Allowed Death Match: MAO & Kazuki Hirata Vs Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida
3. Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato Vs Antonio Honda & Junta Miyawaki
4. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA Vs Rukiya
5. KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Shunma Katsumata, To-y & Akito
6. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes Vs Danshoku Dieno & Yoshihiko

Yesterday DDT announced that Masami Inahata’s back injury was diagnosed as a lumbar sprain and he will need more time off to recover. His return is now delayed until mid-June. Rukiya will replace Inahata as HARASHIMA’s opponent on the upcoming Beer Garden show. The match Rukiya was originally booked for has now removed MJ Paul to even out the teams.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2026 FINAL!!”, 31/05/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuki Ishida Vs Rukiya & Hinata Kasai
1. Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Jun Akiyama, Naomi Yoshimura & Junta Miyawaki
2. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda Vs KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI)
3. Special Tag Match ~ Kaisei Takechi Return Match: Yuki Ueno & Kaisei Takechi Vs Kazuki Hirata & To-y
4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
5. King Of DDT – Semi Final: Minoru Suzuki Vs Shinya Aoki
6. King Of DDT – Semi Final: MAO Vs Danshoku Dieno
7. King Of DDT – Final: X Vs X

A nice surprise added to the show is the return of Kaisei Takechi. He’s hasn’t wrestled in almost two months because of his appendicitis but will be back and ready to go this upcoming weekend.

Over the last few months the stage actress Yuzuki Hoshimoto has appeared at ringside to support Strange Love Connection as an acquaintance of both MAO and KANON. In some cases she even lends a helping hand when things got a bit too out of control. Well she recently asked KANON if she could join SLC as a proper member and her proposal was accepted. From now on whenever she appears in DDT she will go by the name of YUZUKI and it sounds like she will be put in a similar position as KIMIHIRO as a hype person for SLC’s entrances.

The match order has not been decided yet other than the main event and the dark match.

DDT “DDT MY LOVE 2026”, 03/06/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Junta Miyawaki Three Match Trial – Match 2: Junta Miyawaki Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata Vs Akito & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai Vs Kazuma Sumi, To-y, Yuki Ishida & Rukiya

It hasn’t reached the point yet where D GENERATIONS are their own unit (paleyouth existing puts the kibosh on that happening for now) but there are times when they will all be on the same page to fight a common opponent. Getting to fight the entire FANTÔMES DRAMATIC foursome is an example.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TAKASHIMAYA VOL. 4”, 06/06/2025
Tokyo Shinjuku Takashimaya 1st Floor JR Exit Special Venue

1. Shinjuku Takashimaya Half-Day Promotional Ambassador Time-Lag Entry Battle Royal: Kazuma Sumi Vs Junta Miyawaki Vs Yukio Naya Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuni Vs Yuki Ishida Vs Rukiya Vs Hyper Misao Vs Yuki Kamifuku Vs Pokotan
2. paleyouth Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Hinata Kasai
3. The 37KAMIINA Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs MAO, KANON & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO)

I didn’t think the Takashimaya building in Shinjuku would want to be associated with wrestling again after the Sumire Uesaka incident back in March but they’re allowing DDT to hold their annual outdoor show in the area again. Not only is there a Battle Royal to determine who gets to be the stores ambassador for the rest of the day but Saki Akai will be there to interview a guest or guests to be announced.

DDT “DRAMATIC STYLE 2026”, 10/06/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Shunma Katsumata, Kazuki Hirata & Kumadori
2. KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul, Ilusion & Haruto Sakuraba Vs MAO, KANON, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno

DAMNATION T.A needed to find someone to fill out their team in order to defend the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles so they called in the big guns. “The Monster” Haruto Sakuraba last wrestled in DDT back at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025”. He won’t be officially recognised as champion due to the rules of the belt (it’s still Demus in that spot) but if SLC are able to beat a team with him in it then they deserve to become champions!

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026”, 11/08/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Time Delayed Entry Battle Royal: Sumire Uesaka (c) Vs X
2. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & X Vs X & X
3. Dramatic Dream Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Kaisei Takechi

DDT have found a way to guarantee that the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion will show up at Sumo Hall this August. Whoever holds the title going into the show will be rewarded with a one year long Shinkansen Box Office pass. This pass will allow the holder to travel on the bullet train at no personal cost whenever DDT books them for one of their regional shows in a twelve month period that begins after the show. Right now Sumire Uesaka is the champion but she has some things lined up elsewhere that may put her in risk of losing the title. I’ll explain in the next post.

A singles match between Munetatsu Nakamura and Jonathan Johnson is now happening on the Baka Gaijin + Friends show one day before they are part of the same 4 Way Match in Dexcon.

DDT “EARLY SUMMER BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026”, 26/05/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato Vs Antonio Honda & Junta Miyawaki
2. Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Yuya Koroku, Rukiya & Hinata Kasai
3. KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Shunma Katsumata, To-y & Akito

When Inahata comes back from injury he will face HARASHIMA one on one. The two of them are currently the MOP Tag Team Champions but with no further DDT x MOP shows on the horizon those belts pretty much don’t exist anymore until they are needed again.

SUPER JAPAN “A PRO WRESTLING SHOW WITHOUT A NAME”, 27/05/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Pero Pero Oyakata Vs Da Pump Matsumoto
2. Shota Vs Miles Karu
3. Ken Ohka & Mau Matsushita Vs Thanomsak Toba & Hyo Ogawa
4. Riara & Non Toraga Vs Marika Kobashi & Matsuzawa-san
5. Special Tag Match: Satoshi Kojima & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei
6. Special Tag Match: Yuji Nagata & CIMA Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Poison Sawada JULIE

It’s a bit odd seeing that Matsuzawa-san is booked on this show without Makoto. Those two are normally attached to the hip since Matsuzawa-san is Makoto’s manager. She will be teaming with Marika Kobashi instead to face the P.P.P. Tokyo duo of Riara & Non Toraga.

Hyo Ogawa is from Pro Wrestling Uptown. He only started wrestling at the end of last year but has a strong background in athletics, particularly the hammer throw.

The visiting Miles Karu gets a booking here as well as part of his Japan tour.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STAND ALONE ’26”, 07/06/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Mahiro Kiryu
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Mizuki & Uta Takami
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Yuki Kamifuku

Both MIRAI and Sumire Uesaka will be at the show. Uesaka’s costume that was inspired by Tiger Jeet Singh will be put on display at Korakuen Hall on the day of the show, including the mysterious saber that is the cause of the whole thing. The saber went missing after Uesaka won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” but it has since been found and been kept under tight security measures ever since to make sure it doesn’t go missing again.

DDT/NJPW “ONE-ON-ONE CONFRONTATION PART 2 ~SASADANGO-GUN VS YANO-GUN 5-ON-5 ELIMINATION TAG BATTLE~”, 08/06/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
2. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
3. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X
4. Sasadango-gun Vs Yano-gun: X Vs X

Sasadango-gun: Super Sasadango Machine, MAO, Kazuki Hirata, Akito

Yano-gun: Toru Yano, El Desperado, Ryusuke Taguchi, Tomoaki Honma

The latest names added to the series are Akito for Team DDT and Tomoaki Honma for Team New Japan. The attempts by Super Sasadango Machine to get Danshoku Dieno on his side are still not working. Dieno is just doing so well in King Of DDT that he cannot lose focus now.

SUPER JAPAN “BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING”, 06/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Unpaid Rumble RETURNS!: X Vs X

Super Japan is feeling a little more secure in its future so it is taking another one of DDT’s well tested ideas, the Beer Garden show. Along with that is the return of another Sanshiro Takagi project, the Unpaid Rumble! It is a match open to wrestlers of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds as long as they are willing to take part without being paid anything. Takagi is presenting this as maybe the last chance for some wrestlers to ever have a match inside Shinjuku FACE before it closes down later this year.

DDT “O HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2026 ~BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING BEGINS AGAIN THIS YEAR~” Results

April 9, 2026

DDT “O HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2026 ~BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING BEGINS AGAIN THIS YEAR~”, 09/04/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans

1. Daichi Sato, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuki Ishida defeated Jun Akiyama, Masami Inahata & Hinata Kasai when Ishida pinned Kasai with the Flame Palm (7:19).
2. DAMNATION T.A Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Hideki Okatani & Ilusion (w/ MJ Paul) defeated Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno when Ilusion pinned Maligno with the Swanton Bomb (9:02).
3. Junta Miyawaki’s First Beer Garden Pro Wrestling ~ Only Miyawaki Drunk Death Match: Junta Miyawaki defeated MAO (w/ KIMIHIRO), Antonio Honda and To-y when Miyawaki pinned Honda after a Bionic Elbow from MAO (11:44).
4. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura defeated Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku when Ueno pinned Koroku with a Crucifix Pin (9:43).
5. KING OF DRUNK 2026 Opening Round: Chris Brookes Vs HARASHIMA Vs Kazuma Sumi Vs KANON Vs Yuki Iino Vs Rukiya ended in a No Contest (19:32).
6. Special Tag Match ~ Yuni University Entrance Commemorative Match: Shunma Katsumata & Yuni defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Yuni pinned Hirata with an Inside Cradle (13:41).

It’s time for Yuni to be treated like a grown up now he’s in college. He was warned in the main event that Danshoku Dieno would be merciless against him. Shunma Katsumata promised to protect Yuni but Dieno immediately gave Katsumata the Lip Lock and Danshoku Driver to kick off the match. Yuni had to fight Dieno & Kazuki Hirata on his own. Katsumata recovered but then had “Danshoku Water” sprayed over him, making him suddenly target Yuni because he’s so cute! Many DDT wrestlers ran in to make the save only to also get sprayed with the water, making them all obsess over Yuni too. Even Hisaya Imabayashi got sprayed but Yuni took care of him with a Buzzsaw Kick. Hirata opened the spray and poured it into Yuni’s mouth but Yuni passed it back by giving Hirata the Lip Lock. That made Hirata turn full Danshoku and he even put on the Danshoku costume. He tried to give Yuni the Danshoku Driver but it was countered into a Small Package to give Yuni the win. Yuni still had some residue left in his mouth and accidentally swallowed it after the match. It made him obsess over Daisuke Kiso and he chased the ref out of the ring. Katsumata closed out the show and Yuni came back to chase after him too. Yuni claims he doesn’t remember anything that happened after the match ended.

This year’s Beer Garden show began with a more business like presentation with everyone wearing employee suits for the King Of Drunk match. That just meant when it was time to start drinking, all of the wrestlers decided to really get loose. Yuki Iino got so drunk he stripped down to his underwear, causing Rukiya to complain that everyone was getting too rowdy. The problem was he was so drunk he almost threw up and had to go find a restroom. One by one a wrestler would either get eliminated by pinfall or just drop out of the match entirely because they were too drunk. By the end of the match nobody was left in a good state so it had to be called off without a winner decided.

The tag team of Nautilus hasn’t been around together since October 2020. Yuki Ueno talked to Naomi Yoshimura about the nostalgia he felt when he heard their theme song again. He also thinks today’s reunion will help Yoshimura move forward again. Yoshimura said a lot has changed over the last year going back to his return from injury. He’ll do his best to keep improving.

Junta Miyawaki was so excited to take part in his first Beer Garden show. He wanted the 4 Way Match to have drinking rules so everyone could get drunk. However the other participants were all responsible and declined for various reasons, such as needing to drive a vehicle after the show. The 4 Way instead had a rule where only Miyawaki was allowed to drink whenever music interrupted the match. He got so drunk that he only won the match by accident, tripping himself on top of a knocked out Antonio Honda for the pinfall while MAO and To-y were too busy fighting each other to stop it.

There was a contract signing for the DDT Extreme Title match held before any of the matches began. During it Hideki Okatani revealed he will defend the title against Yukio Naya in a Hardcore Table Crash Death Match! It is a Hardcore match that can be won by pinfall, submission or putting your opponent through a table. The two fought in a tag match later in the show where Okatani attacked Naya with his bamboo stick while Ilusion gave Viento Maligno his first pinfall loss. Naya got some payback afterwards by Choke Slamming Okatani through a table set up at ringside. Ilusion got on the microphone next to his prone stablemate anyway and said Okatani will beat Naya on 15th April!

The pre-show press conference also had Ueno and Iino talk about their KO-D Openweight Title match. Iino explained that he is living his life to the fullest every day because he is in the prime of his life right now. Even when he is sitting down he will speak and shout with all of his might. Ueno said he himself has lived in the present more than anyone else for the last six months and he is certain Iino will burn to his fullest at Korakuen Hall on 15th April.

Beer Garden not only brings back the King Of Drunk tournament for another year but there is also a Nautilus reunion happening on the show too! Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura will be properly teaming up for the first time since 2020. There’s been a multi-man match or two when they’ve been on the same side but an honest to God Nautilus match you’ll have to go back five and a half year or so to find the last one.

They grow up so fast. Yuni is becoming a college student but is still too young to legally drink so it’s a bit mean of DDT to have this match happen at a Beer Garden show. At least Junta Miyawaki is allowed to take part in the fun for his first Beer Garden show. Masami Inahata too, I think.

BASARA “BASARA 305 ~OSAKA HARUNO-JIN SUMINOE~”, 12/04/2026

4. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Isami Kodaka
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken

It was only back in January when SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken challenged for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. They lost the match and had a crisis of confidence but quickly patched themselves up. When Aijin Tag won the titles, the Super Family pair jumped at the chance to ask for another shot. They’re being rewarded for being so bold but it may just be that Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino see them as an easy first defence.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS 2026”, 16/04/2026
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Sakura Hattori
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs J-Rod

All three new champions coming out of Sumo Hall will be making their first defences at the Las Vegas show. It was already announced that J-Rod would get the Princess Title shot but instead of getting a rematch with Miu Watanabe, it will now be a first time singles match against Yuki Arai. J-Rod sent a message saying pro wrestling is not a fairy tale and she is ready to become the first American Princess Of Princess Champion on her own home soil. There is a chance that Arai and J-Rod will get a preliminary tag match against each other at one of the Vancouver shows but Tetsuya Koda has not made his decision yet.

Kyoraku Kyomei will be The IInspiration’s first challengers for the Princess Tag Team Titles. Both Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao like to gamble big whenever they visit Vegas. They also took it upon themselves to get the brand new tag title belts back in TJPW’s hands. Unfortunately Misao cannot confirm if there will be Dramatic Hypami bike in Las Vegas after the one in Texas fell apart. Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee showed concern for the roster after hearing the wrestlers had a troublesome trip back home to Japan from the Texas tour. However, they claim they were able to win the titles on just three hours sleep so how will Kyoraku Kyomei fare against them when they have the full eight hours in America?

Before Suzume can make it to Golden Week, she must survive fighting the ninja Sakura Hattori under the bright lights of Vegas! Hattori handed Suzume a scroll at Sumo Hall to tell her she wanted a title shot. Another scroll has since been sent telling Suzume to be prepared because Hattori is targeting her and can take the IP Title away in an instant! As we get towards the match, Hattori is sprinting through a singles match winning streak that’s been going on ever since her gimmick switch.

GANBARE☆PRO “HATAAGE 13TH ANNIVERSARY – MAD MAX 2026”, 29/04/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. PSYCHO & Yuya Susumu Vs Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima
2. Moeka Haruhi Vs Ram Kaichow
3. YuuRI Vs Utami Hayashihita
4. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match: Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima Vs Masaaki Mochizuki & Ryota Nakatsu
5. Minoru Suzuki & Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Hideki “Shrek” Sekine & Akira Shoji
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) Vs Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

All of a sudden Ganbare☆Pro has a Korakuen Hall main event rematch that is three years in the making. Back in Mizuki Watase’s first reign as Spirit Of Ganbare World Champion he defeated Keisuke Ishii that was highly praised by those who took the time to watch it. Ishii won a No. 1 Contender tournament to set up the rematch and Watase wants it to be an even better fight than the first one!

Both Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi have held the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles in the past. In fact, Maeguchi was one of the first champions and Wada was one of the second champions. Together they might be the team that can beat Touchable for the belts. That would mean a lot to Maeguchi in particular because the physical championship belts did not exist when he was supposed to hold them.

I get how Minoru Suzuki & Shuichiro Katsumura against Hideki “Shrek” Sekine & Akira Shoji is meant to be the shooter match but I feel like this is going to be a coin flip over if it will be good or not.

All of these comedy matches Moeka Haruhi has been doing lately has lead her to this. She now has to face the Triple Six queen herself Ram Kaichow!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND ’26”, 04/05/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Winner Of 5 Way Match

Suzume is noticing that many wrestlers in TJPW have been growing stronger lately, many of whom she hasn’t defend the title against before. She thinks there will definitely be plenty of first time matchups happening during this title reign.

DDT “BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2025 ~THE FINAL~” Results

October 23, 2025

DDT “BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2025 ~THE FINAL~”, 23/10/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Kazuma Sumi 3rd Anniversary Celebration Match ~ Finishing Move “School Boy” Exclusive 4 Way Match: Kazuma Sumi defeated Yuya Koroku, Rukia and Hinata Kasai when Sumi pinned Rukiya with the School Boy (5:34).
2. “I Am The Apex!” “Come On!” “Dosukoi!” “BURNING!” “T.O.Y.” “NepoWER!!” “Wassoi!” “Nokotta Nokotta” Prohibited Match: To-y & Yuki Ishida defeated Yuki Iino by TKO when Iino said “I Am The Apex!” (9:18).
3. Yukio Naya, Jun Akiyama & Kazusada Higuchi defeated Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion when Higuchi submitted Ilusion with the Claw (9:20).
4. Special Single Match: KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Kazuki Hirata with a Body Press (11:12).
5. KING OF DRUNK 2025 FINAL ~Annual Championship Decision Match~: Daisuke Sasaki defeated MAO, HARASHIMA and Chris Brookes when Sasaki pinned HARASHIMA with a Body Press (24:54).
6. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Shinya Aoki defeated Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato when Ueno pinned Sato with the Jul.2 (20:45).

The last Beer Garden show of 2025 was full of fun and games to go along with all of the drinking. The main event didn’t look wacky on paper but halfway through all of the wrestlers involved disappeared backstage. When they reappeared on the stage they all looked kind of different. Yuki Ueno looked like To-y, Shinya Aoki looked like Kazuki Hirata, Daichi Sato looked like Kazuma Sumi and Takeshi Masada looked like Yuki Ishida. Then everyone in the venue started seeing double when the original wrestlers reappeared and continued the match alongside their lookalikes.

Some of the previous Beer Garden shows this year held KING OF DRUNK matches were the competing wrestlers were all encouraged to drink during the match. Four of them ended up qualifying for the grand final that was held today. They had to drink whenever music played over the speakers or else they would be disqualified. Yukinori Matsui joined in the drinking and it became a running joke that the music would play right when HARASHIMA or one of his opponents was about to do the Somato. Hisaya Imabayashi lost his patience and complained to everyone that they should be taking pro wrestling seriously. Then the song began again and even Imabayashi couldn’t resist dancing to it and joining in the fun. He ended up guiding MAO, Chris Brookes and Daisuke Sasaki into the corner so HARASHIMA could finally do the Somato into the group but all three wrestlers then just collapsed on top of HARASHIMA, pinning him for the three count. Matsui decided Sasaki was the winner because he was the one directly on top of HARASHIMA during the pin. Sasaki told the fans afterwards they should learn not to drink like they just did otherwise they are going to get sick and throw up.

KANON threatened to break apart the Hirata GO! glasses during his match but Kazuki Hirata convinced him to wear them instead. He did so and started to dance while Hirata picked up a chair to set up a sneak attack. But KANON swung his arms back mid-dance, unintentionally smacking the chair into Hirata’s face and knocking him out. KANON then pinned Hirata anyway.

Even more catchphrases were added to the ban list for the 3 Way Match. Yuki Iino, To-y and Yuki Ishida all had to avoid saying their phrases or else risk getting disqualified. Iino couldn’t help but say “I Am The Apex” to set up his Elbow Drop. He did the move on both opponents at the same time so both To-y and Ishida were declared the winners.

The D GENERATIONS match ended up being a celebration of Kazuma Sumi’s third year of being a pro wrestler. It was a 4 Way match that could only be won by pinning your opponent with the School Boy since that is the move Sumi has been using to win matches ever since MIKAMI passed it down to him.

Tomorrow will be both Kazusada Higuchi and Yuki Iino’s birthday so they got to celebrate it with a toast at the start of the show.

6. KING OF DRUNK 2025 FINAL ~Annual Championship Decision Match~: MAO Vs HARASHIMA Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Chris Brookes

This week’s Beer Garden show will now include a match involving four wrestlers involved with the D GENERATIONS. But what the match is exactly won’t be revealed until the show itself.

DDT “EMPEROR OF THE RING”, 25/10/2025
Osaka City Ikuno Ward Community Center

1. 3 Way Match: Hideki Okatani Vs Yuki Ishida Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Kazuki Hirata “Second Match Triumphant Return” Series Vol. 3: MAO (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. Yuki Iino, Akito & Hinata Kasai Vs Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion
4. Jun Akiyama, Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura Vs HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Yuya Koroku
5. The 37KAMIINA Vs SCHADENFREUDE International!: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
6. Special Single Match: Yukio Naya Vs KANON

With the next KO-D Tag Team Titles match now decided, Yukio Naya and KANON will face off in a small preview of what’s to come.

DDT “LET’S GO! IMAIKE MOTOIKE 2025”, 26/10/2025
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. Antonio Honda Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs KANON, Naomi Yoshimura, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato
3. Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Kazuki Hirata & Akito
4. Yukio Naya & HARASHIMA Vs Jun Akiyama & Hinata Kasai
5. The 37KAMIINA Vs Harimao!: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida
6. Special Single Match: Yuki Iino Vs MAO (w/ KIMIHIRO)

The next day brings in Yuki Iino and MAO to do the same thing.

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025”, 03/11/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Sanshiro Takagi Return Match – Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Hinata Kasai
2. HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Soma Takao, Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Rukiya
3. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul, Demus & Ilusion Vs Daichi Sato, Yuki Ishida, Kazuma Sumi & Kumadori
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, HAYATA & Junta Miyawaki Vs Jun Akiyama, Shinya Aoki & Yuya Koroku
5. DDT Extreme Title – 5 Way Match: To-y (c) Vs Akito Vs Super Sasadango Machine Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles – Survival 3 Way Match: Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya (c) Vs MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Chihiro Hashimoto & Yuu
7. Special Single Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Danshoku Dieno
8. Dramatic Dream Match: Zack Sabre Jr. Vs Chris Brookes
9. Special Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Kaisei Takechi Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Takeshi Masada
10. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (K/c) Vs Minoru Suzuki (U/c)

Just like that we have the entire lineup for Sumo Hall next month. Konosuke Takeshita wanted Kazusada Higuchi to be in his tag match so Kaisei Takechi asked for Takeshi Masada to be Higuchi’s tag partner. Danshoku Dieno is feeling like a new person after getting surgery but doesn’t understand that his match with Daisuke Sasaki is the rematch of an infamous Sumo Hall main event they had together back on 2018. The KO-D Tag Titles match doesn’t just have The Apex and Strange Love Connection involved. Team 200kg from Sendai Girls are included as well to make it a Survival 3 Way Match.

DDT “RYOGOKU AFTER ~IT’S A WONDERFUL BATTLE~”, 06/11/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Antonio Honda

Shortly after Sumo Hall, Takeshita is sticking around for a few more DDT dates. One of them is to have a singles match with Antonio Honda, his old pal and mentor from Happy Motels.

DDT “TONKOTSU SUPLEX”, 08/11/2025
ACROS Fukuoka Event Hall

1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, Daisuke Sasaki & Ilusion Vs MAO, KANON & Kazuma Sumi

After that he teams up with DAMNATION T.A again. Sasaki started respecting Takeshita when he turned heel in AEW and left The 37KAMIINA in DDT so he must really look up to him now that he won the IWGP World Heavyweight Title.

DDT “KUMAMOTO WARRIORS”, 09/11/2025
Kumamoto Castle Hall Civic Hall

1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, Sanshiro Takagi & HARASHIMA Vs To-y, Daichi Sato & Yuki Ishida

So, er… Takeshita’s going to work a few New Japan shows during this period too, right? Because he’s not beating the allegations so far. Would be funny if Takeshita’s entire title reign is spent wrestling the likes of Antonio Honda and Sanshiro Takagi instead of say Shota Umino or Yuya Uemura.

DDT “UTAN FESTA 2025”, 16/11/2025
Tokyo JR Omori Station East Exit Square

1. Omori World Title Next Challenger Battle Royal: X Vs X
2. Interim World Omori Title: Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda

The current World Omori Champion is the injured Masahiro Takanashi so an interim champion is being crowned in the meantime. Either Kazuki Hirata or Antonio Honda will become Takanashi’s stand-in for the annual Omori Title Match while another No. 1 Contender will be determined in a Battle Royal.

Battle Of Shin-Kiba, KING OF DRUNK, J-Rod Coming To TJPW, Super Japan Finale

October 15, 2025

4. Mammoth Sasaki, Daisuke Masaoka & Kenji Fukimoto Vs Keisuke Ishii, Takuya Wada & YuuRI
5. Takashi Sasaki & Toru Sugiura Vs Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase
6. Fluorescent Light + Weapon Death Match: Jun Kasai & Tomoya Hirata Vs Ken Ohka & Mizuki Watase

The type of death match for tomorrow’s FREEDOMS Vs Ganbare☆Pro main event has been decided. Lighttubes are the recommended item on the menu but other weapons will be featured too.

GanPro has a secret weapon up their sleeve for the semi-main event. Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase will be accompanied by Nobita as their ringside attendant. Nobita is the nickname of Takahiro Nakayama, a GanPro staff member who was a pro wrestler for a very brief amount of time back in 2014. The FREEDOMS wrestlers had been bullying him around whenever they showed up at GanPro shows, unaware of his background. If Takashi Sasaki & Toru Sugiura are not careful he might decide to start fighting back!

DDT “WRESTLING HARVEST ~UNDER THE RED SKY~”, 19/10/2025

1. Naomi Yoshimura & Soma Takao Vs Munetatsu Nakamura & Hinata Kasai

We are getting ever so closer to Mahiro Kiryu making it home with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title still in her grasp.

19th October is Miu Watanabe’s birthday so she gets a singles match with Mifu Ashida as her present.

We’re now reaching the end point of the Next Generation Tournament. The winner of Kira Summer Vs Chika Nanase will meet Uta Takami in the final.

DDT “BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2025 ~THE FINAL~”, 23/10/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. “I Am The Apex!” “Come On!” “Dosukoi!” No-Look Match: Yuki Iino Vs To-y Vs Yuki Ishida
2. Special Single Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO)
3. KING OF DRUNK 2025 FINAL ~Annual Championship Decision Match~: MAO Vs HARASHIMA Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Chris Brookes

There have been two previous KING OF DRUNK contests in DDT this year. MAO won the Spring contest while the Summer contest was split between Daisuke Sasaki, HARASHIMA and Chris Brookes. The four will now compete in a final to determine who the true KING OF DRUNK for 2025 is.

The 3 Way match between Yuki Iino, To-y and Yuki Ishida will have an extra rule banning the wrestlers from doing their trademark catchphrases and poses.

DDT “EMPEROR OF THE RING”, 25/10/2025
Osaka City Ikuno Ward Community Center

1. 3 Way Match: Hideki Okatani Vs Yuki Ishida Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Kazuki Hirata “Second Match Triumphant Return” Series Vol. 3: MAO (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. The 37KAMIINA Vs SCHADENFREUDE International!: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada

The match order for the show has not been decided yet other than Match #2, because Kazuki Hirata will always belong in Match #2.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN VICTORY IN RYOGOKU”, 26/10/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Next Generation Tournament ’25 – Final: Uta Takami Vs Winner Of Losers Bracket

Takami is in the driver’s seat because she will need to be beaten twice due to the double elimination format. Summer and Nanase cannot afford to lose at all for the rest of the tournament.

DDT “LET’S GO! IMAIKE MOTOIKE 2025”, 26/10/2025
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. Antonio Honda Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Kazuki Hirata & Akito
3. The 37KAMIINA Vs Harimao!: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida

It’s possible that Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida will be the KO-D Tag Team Champions by the time this match takes place.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 25: GHOST IN THE MACHINE”, 28/10/2025
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: Mr. Bueno Vs Kota Sekifuda
2. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs K4PY

Kota Sekifuda and K4PY both made their Baka Gaijin + Friends debut at “FUCKED UP FEST 2025” but here will be their first appearances in the promotion’s home venue.

Also MAO will be on the show.

BASARA “BASARA 291 ~KOO~”, 31/10/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Kengo Mashimo & Ayumu Honda (c) Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino
2. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi

Aijin Tag defeated one half of MJ2 in order to win the IRON FIST Tag Tournament. Next they will have to beat the other half to bring the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles back to BASARA.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’25”, 09/11/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs J-Rod

The next wrestler from America has been chosen to go on tour with Tokyo Joshi Pro this November. J-Rod has around three years of experience since graduating from the NJPW Academy in America with Ohio Valley Wrestling being her current most regular promotion. The “Ultimate Athlete” will debut in TJPW on the 1st November show but the big match of her tour will be fighting either Miu Watanabe or Yuki Aino for the Princess Of Princess Title at November’s Korakuen show.

I don’t mind this trend of tag teams getting themselves in line for a future Princess Tag Team Titles shot while the champions still have other challengers to get through. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki have teamed on and off together this year but both are feeling left behind by other wrestlers from their class. The two are taking their team to the next level by challenging the winners of Ober Eats Vs Hot Shot for the titles.

SUPER JAPAN “NEVER MIND”, 29/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Tag Match: MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki Vs X & X
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Kasai & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa Vs Yuji Nagata, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe

The last Super Japan show of the year is being advertised as the season finale of year one. Sanshiro Takagi is so happy with how Yuji Nagata has turned out as his chosen ace that he wants to wrestle Nagata himself. He also wants to team with Munenori Sawa again and expected Nagata to get more plenty of people offering to team with him so Jun Kasai was brought in to even up the numbers. Nagata has both Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe wanting to join his side so the two teams are now set.

Super Japan serves as an alternate take of what DDT could have turned into if Takagi chose that name instead of Dramatic Dream Team back in 1997. In DDT, MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki were more like rivals than partners despite once holding the KO-D Tag Titles together back in 2002. So Takagi wants to see what it would be like if the two of them were a tag team from the beginning instead of opponents. MIKAMI & Sasaki are both curious to find out for themselves as well.

6. Enter Sandman Match: Antonio Honda defeated Kazuki Hirata, Danshoku Dieno, Chris Brookes and KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) when Honda pinned Hirata (19:09).

Today was the day Kazuki Hirata needed to choose his first challenger for the KO-D Openweight Title. There is a scheduled title defence at Korakuen Hall set for 28th September and Hirata’s request to fight a weak opponent like Hisaya Imabayashi kept getting denied by the GM. Hirata also had the problem of three Right To Challenge Arm Covers being active, two of which were being held by wrestlers who want to cash them in as soon as possible. To deal with that Hirata today brought along a masked, muscular bodyguard to protect him. Fans watching assumed it was Ryoma Tsukamoto under the mask but he went to Twitter to deny it, although he agrees they could pass for twins given their identical body shape (he then went on to retweet a lot of photos of the bodyguard).

As the show progressed there were two Right To Challenge movements. Akito pinned Yuki Ishida in the second match to win his RTC Arm Cover. Then in the fifth match Yukio Naya pinned Yuki Iino to take that Arm Cover. So when Hirata took part in the main event, Akito entered the ring midway through wanting to cash in his title shot. However the bodyguard was there to physically stop him. Then Naya entered the ring and successfully fought off the bodyguard. But when he tried to cash in his shot, Danshoku Dieno interrupted him by giving him the Lip Lock and Hirata then shoved Naya’s face into Dieno’s rear end. Just when Hirata thought he was safe and sound, the lights went out and the music stopped. The lights then came back on to show Yoshihiko was suddenly in the ring and it attacked Hirata using the Reincarnation. Antonio Honda tried to rescue Hirata but Yoshihiko send him head first into Dieno’s Hell Gate, knocking him out. Honda then collapsed onto Hirata with Yoshihiko on top of both of them while the ref counted to three.

Honda was officially the winner but Hirata knew Yoshihiko was the enemy. He came to the conclusion that the most worthy opponent to fight him for the KO-D Title is not a human being. It is Yoshihiko! Imabayashi accepted the nomination and announced the title match for 28th September. Backstage Hirata told reporters he is now at six successful title defences and everyone quickly figured out he is counting every avoidance of a cash in as a successful defence. Hirata also told the bodyguard he will continue to pay him well so he is counting on his continued protection in the future.

Naya showed everyone that even after eight years of being a wrestler he is still learning new things. He used La Magistral Cradle for the first time and it worked in pinning Iino for the three count in their tag match. Naya got on the microphone afterwards and told fans he will become a strong wrestler who can compete on the level of Iino, Kazusada Higuchi and Jun Akiyama in the future. Backstage The Apex switched to talking about their next KO-D Tag Team Titles defence. Iino warned Naya not to let his guard down because they can lose to To-y & Yuya Koroku if their challengers do indeed show their true strength.

The whole point of “LariPro” matches is to throw Lariats so Yuki Ueno kept getting booed for using other moves. When Toru Owashi complained to him about it, Ueno got on the microphone and said he wasn’t going to do a boring match where everyone does the same move over and over. He stormed out of the ring while Owashi admitted he didn’t want to use Lariats either. So Owashi decided to wrestle like Mil Mascaras instead! The match turned into lucha libre and HARASHIMA even dragged Yukinori Matsui into the action. That was when Ueno returned dressed just like Riki Choshu! He threw Choshu-style Lariats at the other team until MAO stopped him using the Takeshita Line followed by the Buckshot Lariat. However despite all of the Lariats being thrown by everyone, the match instead ended when Keisuke Ishii pinned Tomomitsu Matsunaga with a School Boy.

A contact signing for Sunday’s DDT Extreme Title match took place and To-y revealed the match rules to Ilusion. It is called a “Stop The Annoying Streamers!! Unicast Death Match!” Both wrestlers will stream themselves on Wrestle Universe while the match goes on. In order to win you must either pin or submit your opponent on-camera or switch off their stream! The usual rules still apply for fouls and there will also be no countout. During the signing Ilusion read out a prepared statement apologising for his recent streamer behaviour while also asking To-y to admit that both sides are to blame. To-y got mad over Ilusion’s insincere apology and said he came up with these rules to punish him. However he also showed his lack of knowledge about live streaming, telling reports he just needs to press a button on his phone so even an idiot like him can do it. Then later in the show their match ended in a DQ when Ilusion attacked To-y and the referee with his streamer equipment. He also stole the Extreme Title belt to add insult to injury.

On paper the result of the opening match doesn’t look good for Takeshi Masada but he and also his opponent think differently. He lost to Shinya Aoki in what was supposed to be a warm up match for his DDT Universal Title shot later this month. However Aoki was able to counter Masada’s finishing move into an Inside Cradle to get the win out of nowhere. Aoki still praised Masada for having a strong desire to do his best. He is rooting for him because he doesn’t want to see Minoru Suzuki going around doing as he pleases. Masada also told reporters he gained something amazing from this match so Suzuki better watch out!

Daisuke Sasaki made an appearance to give everyone some updates over his health as well as the “CHARISMANIAxMANIAxMANIA” happening on 2nd October. First he said if his injury forced him to miss the show then the show would have been cancelled. Lucikly his ribs are currently at 90% health thanks to taking vitamins, doing muscle training and praying to God. That means his return to the ring will be at that show. He then told Hideki Okatani he has a very early birthday present for him. Okatani is going to face Jun Kasai in a Hardcore Match at the show!
