5. Blindfold Nipple Covered 4 Way Death Match ~ Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet: Masami Inahata defeated Yuki Ueno, Kazuki Hirata and Junta Miyawaki when Inahata removed Ueno’s bra (14:10).
*Masami Inahata wins the Blue Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet.
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles – Falls Count Anywhere Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda when Sato pinned Honda with a Diving Body Press through a Table (19:41).
*V6 for paleyouth.

There was a contact signing at the start of the show that for the two upcoming title matches going on between FANTÔMES DRAMATIC and paleyouth. However paleyouth were late to the signing which caused Antonio Honda to get angry. He demanded that today’s KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match should now be Falls Count Anywhere. Akito was in charge as the GM today and he agreed to make the change. The two sides brawled all over Shinjuku FACE until Honda was placed onto a table near the counter. Daichi Sato climbed the counter and jumped off it to crush Honda through the table and win the match, meaning paleyouth have now tied the record for most KO-D 6-Man Tag Title defences!

After the match three members from Strange Love Connection appeared and confronted paleyouth. KANON & Yukio Naya stood aside so Viento Levante could challenge the champions for a title match. He said he went to Mexico and doesn’t know if it was worth it. He then came home and worked hard to become as strong and cool as everyone else but doesn’t feel like he has earned the right to make this challenge. But if there is at least one person out there who cheers for him he will work hard for them. paleyouth accepted the challenge because they all understand where Levante is coming from. They will defend their titles against SLC on 11th August with the goal of breaking the defence record at Sumo Hall.

The second of two Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlets belongs to Masami Inahata after he won the Blindfold Bra 4 Way Match. But since he was still blindfolded when the match ended, Ilusion easily crept into the ring and approached Inahata from behind to put him in a Sleeper Hold. All he did though was give Inahata a warning that he can cash in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere, Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet on him whenever he wants.

You better start believing in ghost stories Kaisei Takechi. You’re in one! He took part in the annual multi-man match that turns into a ghost story if it does not end in three minutes. He had to be dragged into the ring by everyone else because he admittedly does not like scary stories. Danshoku Dieno tried to calm him down by telling him he only has to fall down when Hisaya Imabayashi points at him. That doesn’t actually mean he dies. Everyone then encouraged Imabayashi to do his point except he wanted to add a twist to the proceedings. He would only do the point at one person, whoever wins the Battle Royal! The match continued and Takechi ended up becoming the last man standing. Imabayashi began to tell his ghost story called “The Coin Locker” about a person finding an abandoned child at a coin locker. However Imabayashi didn’t expect Takechi to pull out a script and start reciting the story alongside him. Takechi then revealed he took part in this match to get revenge on Imabayashi for his mentor Makoto Oishi because all those years of Imabayashi doing the “It’s you!” point at Oishi made him addicted to the scare! Imabayashi tried to scare him with the point but missed and hit Dieno by accident. Takechi did one of his own but hit Yukinori Matsui. This kept going on until everyone else fainted. Imabayashi and Takechi finally hit each other at the same time but Takechi was the only one to survive it. He slumped into KANON’s arms and told him he was going to sleep for a while. KANON screamed in panic and the room turned into darkness… The lights then came back on and everybody lined up in the ring to bow to the audience.

According to Daisuke Sasaki his tag partner today Mikiya Sasaki is actually his long lost twin brother. That means they are the Super Sasaki Brothers! The brotherly love disappeared late into the match when Daisuke complained about having to wear green while Mikiya got to wear red and blue. They started fighting each other which helped lead them into losing their match against The 37KAMIINA.

After the match Honda came down to the ring to reveal his tag partner against Sasaki & DOUKI at Sumo Hall on 11th August. It’s going to be Tetsuya Endo and he is here right now! Endo couldn’t believe what he is seeing from Sasaki. This isn’t the Daisuke Sasaki he knew from DAMNATION so at Sumo Hall Endo is going to expose Sasaki’s true colours! Sasaki taked back, saying nobody here knows who Endo is because he’s wrestling on a green canvas and couldn’t even win a crappy GHC Championship. Honda then stepped in to explain he chose Endo because it will make the match more exciting. It will also be nostalgic because it will be the first time in a decade that Endo & Honda are teaming up together.

The contract signing with Fandora and paleyouth that was mentioned earlier also involved the KO-D Tag Team Titles match taking place on 26th July. paleyouth were present by the time this contract was signed so no extra stipulation was made for it. Neither HARASHIMA nor Chris Brookes are that worried by their opponents. Brookes even had Honda speak about the match on his behalf. Takeshi Masada spoke about how much winning the KO-D Tag Titles would mean for both himself and Yuya Koroku. The two of them are confident they will become double champions and after today they are halfway towards achieving that goal.

*Shunma Katsumata wins the Red Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet.

The final series of Beer Garden shows inside Shinjuku FACE are happening this week so DDT are sending them off with a bang. The company’s biggest drinkers all gathered together for the main event that was just an excuse for them to get absolutely blasted on tequila. Shunma Katsumata opened the show by pinning Kazuma Sumi during the NωA Jr. to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title and he got to close out the show by winning the first of two Red Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlets to be activated this year. He did so by wearing a T.M.Revolution costume made out of tissue paper and was the last one standing after everyone else became too drunk to continue fighting.

However somebody else has taken it upon themselves to shake up the Right To Challenge prizes this year. Ilusion has complained online about how stale the concept is and he wanted to show off to everyone his idea to spice it up this year. After the main event he entered the ring carrying a purple Gauntlet and announced the creation of the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere, Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet! With this prize the holder can cash it in on any person with a regular Right To Challenge Gauntlet whenever they want. Hisaya Imabayashi listened to Ilusion’s pitch and found it interesting enough to give it a go so starting tomorrow, the Anytime, Anywhere, Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet will become officially activated!

Everybody in Match #6 wrestled while wearing stockings over their heads.

A situation broke out during HARASHIMA’s opening speech where Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda were chasing Junta Miyawaki & Masami Inahata down to the ring. HARASHIMA calmed everyone down and told them all to apologise to each other. But when they did they all headbutted each other by accident and went backstage feeling weird. Then when it was time for their match, Miyawaki showed up dressed as Honda and Inahata was dressed as Dieno! They even copied the moves and the match ended with Inahata pinning Honda with the Gotch-Style Danshoku Driver.

Kazuki Hirata threw himself into a Battle Royal to fight against many Invisible opponents. There were more than wrestlers involved too because some of the participants were Invisible versions of people from the dance group M!LK. What Hirata did not expect most of all was the appearance of his own Invisible doppelganger! After getting a taste of his own medicine by being pinned with his own finisher, Hirata was happy to pose with Invisible Kazuki Hirata and the rest of the Invisible Men for a commemorative photo.

There was a contract signing for the DDT Extreme Title match between Hideki Okatani and Yuki Ishida happening on 26th July. Ishida spoke about feeling lost ever since Kazusada Higuchi retired and Harimao disbanded. He wants to change but has only been moving vaguely forward which is why he decided to wager his hair in order to get an Extreme Title shot. Okatani said he will crush Ishida without the need for any dirty tricks. He then asked Ishida what is it exactly that makes his hair valuable? Ishida answered he has been growing his hair for the last five years so it is like he is putting all of his experience up until now on the line. If he were to lose he will end up in a terrible state. With that explanation, Okatani decided it will just be a regular match with no other special rules applied.

1. Special Single Match: MBM defeated Miles Karu with the Package Piledriver (7:41).
2. 3 Minute 5 Round Match: Thanomsak Toba defeated Mac Matsushita by TKO with the Backhand Blow (R3 1:26).
3. Special Tag Match: Gym Trainer Kotoka & Marika Kobashi defeated Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Saito when Kobashi pinned Saito with a Rotating Cradle (17:54).
4. Special Single Match: Hayabusa defeated Ken Ohka with the Firebird Splash (9:08).
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Ippanjin Munenori Sawa & Fuminori Abe defeated Brahman Koji, Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei when Takagi pinned Kei with the Stone Cold Stunner (12:58).
6. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata defeated CIMA with the Back Drop Hold (18:05).

Some little known history between Yuji Nagata and CIMA was revisited for the main event of the latest Super Japan show. When CIMA was only two months into his pro wrestling career he apparently had a WCW match with Nagata inside the Universal Studios that held tapings at the time. He stuck around for a while to be Nagata’s weight training partner until their paths split off. Today, 19 years later they had their rematch. Nagata entered the ring with the amateur parody wrestler Ujikoji Nagata alongside him but the match with CIMA was played completely straight. CIMA targeted Nagata’s left leg before moving up to his big moves but Nagata kicked out of the Swan Dive Meteroa. In return, Nagata gave CIMA an Exploder Suplex, a Running Knee Strike and then the Back Drop Hold to get the pinfall.

Nagata said CIMA is completely different from how he was 29 years ago and he now understands how many tough battles he has gone through. CIMA pointed out that Shinjuku FACE will be closing down soon but his battle with Nagata is not over. He wants to have another rematch in 30 years time when he is 79 and Nagata will be 88! After CIMA left the ring, Nagata wanted to talk to someone else so he called for Satoshi Kojima to come face him. Nagata then revealed that his contract with New Japan was supposed to end in 2024 which is why Sanshiro Takagi chose him to be the ace of Super Japan. Plans changed and New Japan extended his deal but Nagata is still proud of the work he is doing here. He doesn’t appreciate Kojima suddenly popping up in Super Japan and be paid for acting like he can do whatever he wants! Kojima said ever since 2013 he’s been constantly DM’ing Takagi about working with him for whatever ideas they can come up with so he hasn’t come to Super Japan for the money. Takagi and Masayuki Uchida both stepped in to tell Nagata and Kojima they should wrestle each other at the next Super Japan show scheduled for Shinjuku FACE on 28th September, two days before the venue closes down for good. Uchida in particular loves the idea and thinks it is a match that can only happen in Super Japan. Takagi is even going far enough to call it a battle between Super Japan and New Japan!

Maybe Nagata had a point about Kojima not taking Super Japan seriously because Kojima showed up for his match acting like one of The Brahman Brothers! He appeared in full Brahman gear and that included a large patch stuck over his head to make his hair resemble a skullet. It appeared that Brahman Koji was brainwashed into acting this way and he joined along with the usual messy Brahman spots. He even drooled out orange coloured goo from his mouth after he took damage from Munenori Sawa & Fuminori Abe. Kojima finally snapped out of it when Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei both accidentally threw powder into his face. Next thing they knew, Kojima was knocking them down with Lariats and allowing Sanshiro Takagi to give them Stunners before stacking them up for the victory. The Brahmans had lost Brahman Koji today but they can just go find another new member to join them and make summer memories together.

Somehow Ken Ohka got busted open really heavily at the start of his match after Hayabusa got him with a Topé Con Hilo. While Ohka showed some fighting spirit by continuing on, he eventually fell to Hayabusa’s Firebird Splash. Hayabusa had heard about Ohka’s request to fight him so he asked him how he felt after the match? Ohka said he will be turning 49 this year. He ran away from a wrestling dojo in his mid-twenties but he was eventually forgiven and he worked hard to establish Ganbare☆Pro. He has proved that despite having negative experiences, a 49 year old like him can still get married and have three kids by working hard. So if Hayabusa also has a dream then he shouldn’t give up either.

There is a follow up to Kota Ibushi’s sudden appearance at the previous Super Japan show but it is going in a completely different direction. Mac Matsushita lost his fight against Thanomsak Toba but later joined up with him, Ibushi and Tyson Maeguchi backstage to announced that Matsushita has now joined the Ibushi Wrestling Institute! Takagi gave his endorsement to the move meaning that Matsushita is now no longer exclusive to just wrestling on Super Japan shows.

The return of the Unpaid Rumble had a few actual professional wrestlers sneaking into it. Takagi and Shota were already advertised for it pretty much to oversee all of the amateur and parody gimmicks filling up the ring. However Mio Shirai appeared as one of the early entrants and the biggest surprise of all was Daisuke Sekimoto showing up to clear out whoever was left and then win the whole thing! Unfortunately he didn’t realise until afterwards that entries for the match was on a volunteer only basis so he wasn’t going to be paid for anything. His prize for winning is an offer to participate in future Super Japan shows also for free. Sekimoto said he will consider it.

The card is starting to fill up. Yuki Ueno and MAO will be in the KO-D Title match in Sumo Hall again for the second time in the hopes of carrying DDT on the ultimate path towards the Tokyo Dome. There are also some inter-promotional bouts to look forward to with Kazuma Sumi defending the DDT Universal Title against Ryusuke Taguchi in a continuation of the DDT Vs New Japan rivalry. There is still some friendliness between the two companies because Daisuke Sasaki has picked DOUKI to be his tag partner for the mystery match against Antonio Honda and whoever he is going to pick (the popular guess online so far seems to be YOH). Dragon Gate is also taking part in the fun by sending YAMATO over for a match. Unfortunately for him he’s getting Danshoku Dieno as his opponent.

Last Year’s KING OF DRUNK winner Daisuke Sasaki is ready to defend his crown.

What’s a big attraction like Kaisei Takechi doing at the Beer Garden? Would THE RAMPAGE allow him to have a few drinks if he wishes to have some?

Come see the Invisible Man Rumble… except you can’t… because most of the entries are invisible… We’re starting to enter the territory where this could be mistaken for a Mystery Wrestling show instead of a DDT show.

Kumadori will be on the first day of Beer Garden but he hasn’t been announced for the second day yet.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2026 IN SHINJUKU 【FINAL COUNTDOWN 2】”, 16/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Mikiya Sasaki Vs Shunma Katsumata & To-y
2. Blindfold Nipple Covered 4 Way Death Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Junta Miyawaki Vs Masami Inahata
3. Kaidan Shin-Numabukuro Royale: Kaisei Takechi Vs Jun Akiyama Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs MAO Vs KANON Vs Naomi Yoshimura Vs Rukiya Vs Hinata Kasai
*Kaidan Reading Artist: Hisaya Imabayashi
4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda

Takechi gets to experience the annual ghost story from Hisaya Imabayashi too! Junta Miyawaki also gets to experience more DDT-ness by taking part in his first Blindfold match. Maybe this time everyone else will want to drink along with him.

I have a suspicion that Mikiya Sasaki is going to impersonate Daisuke Sasaki instead of doing his usual Dory Funk Jr. tribute. Or how about Daisuke shows up thinking he’s Terry Funk?

DDT “YUKI UENO 10TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW -IN MY MIND “10”-”, 13/09/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Tag Match: MAO & Yoshihiko Vs Kazuki Hirata & Kaisei Takechi
2. Yuki Ueno 10th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Shunma Katsumata

A promise was made by Yuki Ueno to have Kazuki Hirata & Kaisei Takechi team up together for his show. He just needed to find the right opponents for them. MAO fits the bill just fine as one half of the opposition. As for the other? Takechi prepare to meet your match in the form of Yoshihiko!

BASARA “BASARA 309 ~UTAGE~”, 23/06/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block A – Semi Final: Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Daiki Shimomura
2. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament Block B – Semi Final: FUMA Vs Lil’ Kraken
3. Isami Kodaka, SAGAT & Minoru Fujita Vs Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Takeru Inoue
4. 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Ryota Nakatsu, Daichi Kazato & Seiya Morohashi Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Yasu Urano & Gouma Ryu
5. Union MAX Title Next Challenger Tournament – Final: Winner Of Block A Vs Winner Of Block B

I can’t imagine BASARA will be doing another tournament later this summer. The semi finals and final happens tomorrow.

DDT “CHARISMANIA IV”, 02/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Fake Brahman Army Vs Mataro Army All-Out Confrontation: Fake Brahman Yuki, Fake Brahman Yuki & Fake Brahman Yuki Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Takayuki Ueki & Takeshi Masada (w/ Mataro)
2. Yasu Urano & Sangre Azteca Jr. Vs Naohiro Katsumi & Yunicaras Jr. (w/ Sumicaras)
3. Special Single Match: MJ Paul Vs Ryunosuke Nagai
4. Special Tag Match: Minoru Fujita & Ilusion Vs Ayato Ishida & Gabai Ji-chan
5. DDT Extreme Title: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Yuko Miyamoto
6. O-40 Title – 3 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa Vs Keisuke Ishii

Coming out of the weekend Hideki Okatani is now on a roll as the DDT Extreme Champion. His next defence has Daisuke Sasaki’s stamp of approval included because he is bringing in Yuko Miyamoto to be the challenger on this show.

We previously had a luchador named Yunicaras on these kind of shows but he got unmasked the last time he was here. I bet Yunicaras Jr. is a completely different person. No way would it be Yuni just coming back as another incognito luchador again. That would just ruin Sumicaras’s reputation and be an insult to Sangre Azteca Jr.

The match order outside of the main event has not been decided yet.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2026 IN SHINJUKU 【FINAL COUNTDOWN 2】”, 16/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda

A tag team title war has broken out between FANTÔMES DRAMATIC and paleyouth. Both sides have championships and they agreed to defend the belts against each other this July. First up is paleyouth defending the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles and they only need one more win to break the record for most defences in a single reign. They have already beaten Fandora back in April but that was when the winless Hinata Kasai was on the challenger team. This time Antonio Honda is taking his place.

DDT “ROCK IN RING 2026 ~ONE HIT KILL~”, 26/07/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku

Then a week and a half later it will be Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA putting the KO-D Tag Team Titles on the line against Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku. Brookes thinks Masada would be better off teaming with Daichi Sato instead but Masada & Koroku recently debuted their own tag team finisher. This new weapon called The Roar For Tomorrow Created By Me And Yuya might be the extra step needed for paleyouth to dominate the tag division.

DDT “LET’S GO! BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026” Results

June 18, 2026

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

1. Junta Miyawaki, KANON & Yuki Ishida defeated Jun Akiyama, Rukiya & Masami Inahata when KANON pinned Inahata with the Lariat (8:26).
2. Yuki Ueno defeated Hinata Kasai with a Crab Hold (12:44).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Bunbun defeated Takeshi Masada (c) with a Cradle (6:09 pm).
*Bunbun becomes the 1,829th champion.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Antonio Honda defeated Bunbun (c) with the TTD (6:21 pm).
*Antonio Honda becomes the 1,830th champion.
3. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato defeated Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda (c) & Akito when Koroku submitted Honda with an Arm Lock (10:00).
*Yuya Koroku becomes the 1,831st champion.
4. Crocodile Death Match BEYOND: Crocodile D Sasa, Abarenbo Hideki & Ilusion (w/ MJ Paul) defeated MAO, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) when Hideki pinned with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster in the Pool (12:17).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Kazuki Hirata defeated Yuya Koroku (c) with a Hammer Attack (7:27 pm).
*Kazuki Hirata becomes the 1,832nd champion.
5. Ring Removal Death Match: HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata defeated Shunma Katsumata, To-y & Yuni when Dieno pinned Yuni with the Danshoku Driver onto the pile of Cans (23:47).

Taking a page from Michinoku Pro’s annual Great Space War, DDT tried doing a Ring Removal Death Match for the first time today. From the moment the bell rang, a cleanup crew of wrestlers all began to deconstruct the ring while the actual match participants tried to fight each other without getting in the way. The environment became more dangerous as the match progressed because the ring got more bare. Danshoku Dieno tried to put the ring back together then started arguing with the cleanup crew, causing Akito to add a new rule. The crew would be paid double for the day and be treated to an all you can eat meal if they could complete the deconstruction before the match ends! Also the match was now Falls Count Anywhere because the fighting was breaking out into the audience anyway. The ring was taken down to just one last corner post but when Yuya Koroku directed everyone to carry it out, a mystery figure appeared and knocked him out with a hammer. It was Kazuki Hirata and he pinned Koroku to win back the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title! With no ring left, Dieno had to resort to giving Yuni the Danshoku Driver onto a pile of beer cans nearby to win the match. His team was rewarded with a year long exemption from being in the cleanup crew for DDT events held inside Ueno Park.

News came on short notice that Daisuke Sasaki would not be at the show today. Overnight he remembered a news story from 1993 about a crocodile being sighted at Shakujii Park in Nerima Ward. He thought about it all night and didn’t get enough sleep to be able to wrestle today. His replacement was Crocodile D Sasa but the costume was eventually ripped off to reveal it was Sasaki all along. The match itself had Strange Love Connection and DAMNATION T.A all fighting each other around rubber pools filled with inflatable crocodiles. Hideki Okatani briefly disappeared only to return with somebody dressed in a horse costume. That was somehow the difference maker.

There were other Iron Man Title changes that happened earlier on the show. Daichi Sato rolled up his partner Koroku and got a three count but because he was also holding Bunbun at the time, Yukinori Matsui declared it was Bunbun who pinned Koroku and was now the champion! Antonio Honda later fought Bunbun during the actual match and pinned the puppet with the Tenzan Tombstone Driver. Koroku then submitted Honda to win back the belt and held onto it until Hammer Hirata’s attack during the main event.

Rukiya was in the corner coaching and cheering on Hinata Kasai for Kasai’s match with Yuki Ueno. Sadly it did not result in Kasai getting his first victory. At the end of the show Kasai and Rukiya looked like they were going to fight each other but instead they embraced and bowed to the fans.

DDT “THAT’S RIGHT! LET’S GO TO BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026” Results

June 17, 2026

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

1. Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Masami Inahata when Masada pinned Inahata with the Manburi (8:15).
2. Yukio Naya & Viento Levante defeated Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda when Naya submitted Honda with a Cobra Twist (0:10).
2a. Rematch: Yukio Naya & Viento Levante defeated Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda when Naya submitted Honda with a Cobra Twist (7:58).
3. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Kazuki Hirata (c) defeated Yuya Koroku by Submission (6:17).
*V? for Kazuki Hirata.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yuya Koroku defeated Kazuki Hirata (c) with the Triangle Lancer (6:46 pm).
*Yuya Koroku becomes the 1,828th champion.
4. Irregular Captain Drunk Match: Ilusion (C), Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani defeated Yuki Ishida, Rukiya & Hinata Kasai (C) when Ilusion pinned Kasai with the Swanton Bomb (10:17).
5. Special Single Match: Junta Miyawaki defeated Shunma Katsumata with the Sunshine Clutch (8:01).
6. Falls Count Anywhere 4 Way Tag Match: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA defeated Yuki Ueno & To-y, Sanshiro Takagi & Jun Akiyama and MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) when HARASHIMA pinned To-y with the Somato (17:51).

For the fourth time in six years MAO has run over his boss Sanshiro Takagi with a van! The first of this week’s Beer Garden shows featured a wild Falls Count Anywhere main event that included Jun Akiyama crashing a bicycle into a castle made of chairs, the above mentioned MAO driving a vehicle into Takagi and To-y falling off the top of a ladder in shock of seeing the car accident. That last bit cost his the match because it let HARASHIMA hit him with the Somato aftwards for the victory.

Takagi got so mad at MAO over what happened that his anger spread over to the officiating. He can no longer trust any of the referees so his match with MAO on 28th June will now become a No Referee Match! MAO was confused as Takagi tried to figure out on the spot what that means. It means it will now be up to the audience to count the pinfalls and determine the winner! MAO loves the idea because he’s not sure if he and Takagi will ever have another singles match after this again. He can now go all out without worrying about any referees trying to stop him, because the fans certainly won’t.

Junta Miyawaki isn’t the only wrestler in DDT who embodies the sunshine. Shunma Katsumata proved it by dressing up like what he imagines a “Sunshine Hero” would look like.

The team captains in Match #4 had to drink an entire beverage every time somebody on their team was caught committing a foul. Hinata Kasai and Ilusion were the two captains but the ever so selfless Yuki Ishida helped Kasai with some of the drinks. MJ Paul meanwhile force fed Kasai a drink to send him to his drunk breaking point. Ilusion was still measured enough to do the Swanton Bomb and then win the match.

Exact phrasing along with the rules being taken literally made Yuya Koroku lose his match. He had Kazuki Hirata trapped in an Arm Bar and spoke on the microphone that he would make Hirata give up. However he made it sound like he was giving up instead, which Yukinori Matsui took literally so Hirata was declared the winner and still the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. But since the championship is defended 24/7, Koroku attacked Hirata after the match and made him give up to the Triangle Lancer to become the new champ.

Hisaya Imabayashi pulled his back recently and wasn’t in the best condition to complain about Match #2 ending too quickly. A cure was unexpectedly found when Antonio Honda used Danshoku Dieno’s rear to charge up Gongitsune. The attack then hit Imabayashi right in the point of his injury and made the back pain go away! Now he’s as fit as a fiddle but he was thrown face first into Dieno’s Hell Gate anyway.

Hardcore I Quit Match, Mataro Trying To Escape Retirement, Up Town In Super Japan

June 16, 2026

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

1. Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Masami Inahata
2. Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda Vs Yukio Naya & Viento Levante
3. Special Single Match: Yuya Koroku Vs Kazuki Hirata
4. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Yuki Ishida, Rukiya & Hinata Kasai
5. Special Single Match: Shunma Katsumata Vs Junta Miyawaki
6. 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)

Tomorrow’s Beer Garden show is going to end in chaos with the Falls Count Anywhere match being placed in the main event.

DDT “OWARI WARS 2026”, 21/06/2026
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference

1. Akito Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Jun Akiyama & Rukiya Vs Naomi Yoshimura & Masami Inahata
3. Special Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata & Kumadori Vs Yuni & Yuki Ishida
4. Special 10-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante Vs Toru Owashi, Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y
7. DDT Extreme Title – Hardcore I Quit Match: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Junta Miyawaki

A Hardcore I Quit Match is the stipulation chosen by Hideki Okatani for the DDT Extreme Title bout. He chose the rule because he wants to make Junta Miyawaki quit right in front of him. Making the opponent say “I quit” or something similar like “I surrender” will end the match. If a situation occurs where the wrestler becomes too injured to speak, the referee is allowed to end the match by TKO.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ FINAL”, 27/06/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Arisu Endo & Shion Kanzaki Vs Toga & Uta Takami
2. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs HIMAWARI & Kira Summer
3. Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Mahiro Kiryu & Mifu Ashida
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Sakura Hattori Vs YuuRI & Chika Nanase
5. Mizuki Vs Ren Konatsu
6. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume Vs Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Wakana Uehara

YuuRI is popping by Tokyo Joshi Pro again, this time to team up with Chika Nanase instead of fighting her.

DDT “DDT X GRAND HAMMER STREET WRESTLING SHOWDOWN AT SHIMBASHI BUSHO YOKOCHO”, 27/06/2026
Tokyo Grand Hammer

1. Falls Count Anywhere Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Shunma Katsumata & Yuni
2. Falls Count Anywhere 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Yukio Naya, Yuki Ishida & Masami Inahata
3. Falls Count Anywhere Special 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Minoru Suzuki & To-y Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda Vs MAO, KANON & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO)

Three street wrestling matches are planned to take place including one with Minoru Suzuki teaming up with The 37KAMIINA.

DDT “CHARISMANIA IV”, 02/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: MJ Paul Vs Ryunosuke Nagai
2. Fake Brahman Army Vs Mataro Army All-Out Confrontation: Fake Brahman Yuki, Fake Brahman Yuki & Fake Brahman Yuki Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Takayuki Ueki & Takeshi Masada (w/ Mataro)
3. Special Tag Match: Minoru Fujita & Ilusion Vs Ayato Ishida & Gabai Ji-chan
4. O-40 Title – 3 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa Vs Keisuke Ishii

As if having the illustrious O-40 Title being defended on the show isn’t enough, we’re getting a major 6-Man Tag Match with super important stakes being applied to it. Mataro is the luckless member of DDT’s video team that constantly gets dragged into a DAMNATION T.A match whenever Daisuke Sasaki gets to put together a show. Mataro ended up having to wrestle in some of these matches and then retire from wrestling due to losing a stipulation. Now he is getting the opportunity to cancel that retirement because if his team can beat the Fake Brahman Brothers (think of all the DDT wrestlers named Yuki and you can guess who they are) he gets to return to wrestling again!

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

1. Unpaid Rumble RETURNS!: X Vs X
2. Special Single Match: MBM Vs Miles Karu
3. Thanomsak Toba Vs Mac Matsushita
4. Special Tag Match: Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Saito Vs Gym Trainer Kotoka & Marika Kobashi
5. Special Single Match: Ken Ohka Vs Hayabusa
6. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs CIMA

I haven’t been paying attention to Up Town but Kuroshio TOKYO Japan has been quietly building up a neat little roster for himself over there. When he launched the promotion he said he wanted it to be like a small ramen shop that attracts a long line and that just sounds like a lovely place to carve out for himself in the wrestling world. Saito is one of the new wrestlers to debut from Up Town and she is making her Super Japan debut here. Despite having less than a year of experience she is actually pretty active thanks to working on Ice Ribbon and WAVE shows in between Up Town events.

The match between Thanomsak Toba and Mac Matsuhita will be held under the rounds system with five rounds lasting three minutes each being the plan.

Some international action on the undercard with MBM from Belgium taking on Miles Karu from Malaysia.

A Few Injury Comebacks, Takagi Wants To Fight MAO, Kira’s Summer Break

June 5, 2026

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

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)

We can now all say it out loud that Keigo Nakamura is Viento Maligno. But he decided he will continue wrestling under that gimmick in his journey to get stronger.

The Battle Royal is show a few people with Kazuma Sumi and Rukiya both having to pull out due to their injuries.

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

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda Vs Naomi Yoshimura & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Yuki Ishida & Rukiya
2. HARASHIMA & Hinata Kasai Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Yuni
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Shunma Katsumata, Kazuki Hirata & Kumadori

The final match of Junta Miyawaki’s trial series ends with the most DDT opponent possible. He calls Danshoku Dieno a once in a lifetime opponent and does not have to wait long to get that match!

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

1. Ilusion Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Danshoku Dieno, KANON & Kazuki Hirata

6. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA Vs Shunma Katsumata & To-y

This card has some changes made because of Sumi’s injury but Rukiya is expected to return. The main event isn’t affected because it focuses on To-y getting to fight Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA before their KO-D Tag Team Titles match.

GANBARE☆PRO “STENDHAL SYNDROME 2026”, 14/06/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. YuuRI Vs Moe Hiiro
2. Shota Kawakami Vs Kouki Iwasaki

Another preview of the KO-D Tag Titles match can be found within the chaos of a 4 Way Tag Match.

DDT announced that Masami Inahata will return from his injury at this show.

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

1. Jun Akiyama, Rukiya & Masami Inahata Vs Junta Miyawaki, KANON & Yuki Ishida
2. Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Akito
3. Yuki Ueno Vs Hinata Kasai
4. Crocodile Death Match BEYOND: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs MAO, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO)
5. Ring Removal Death Match: HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Shunma Katsumata, To-y & Yuni

Sumi has been replaced with To-y in the Ring Removal Death Match. That is the main event while the rest of the match order is to be determined.

DDT “OWARI WARS 2026”, 21/06/2026
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion
2. DDT Extreme Title: Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Junta Miyawaki
3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA (c) Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y

Has To-y figured out the key to beating Brookes is to annoy the hell out of him? He’s going around calling himself the Prince Of Nagoya who comes from the future where he and Yuki Ueno win the KO-D Tag Titles from Brookes & HARASHIMA. Brookes is quickly getting fed up with his wacky behavior.

There will be a post about Daisuke Sasaki and his Best Of The Super Jr. adventure next week but he is returning to DDT with a losing record in the tournament. However Ilusion has gotten him and MJ Paul a chance to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles again so DAMNATION T.A can increase their current collection of championships to ten belts.

DDT “KING OF KINGS ~TENKA TAIRAN~”, 28/06/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Junta Miyawaki & Viento Maligno Vs Akito & Miles Karu
1. The 37KAMIINA Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs KANON & Yuki Iino (w/ KIMIHIRO)
2. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion
3. Soma Takao Comeback Match: Soma Takao & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Kazuma Sumi, Yuni & Kumadori
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Jun Akiyama, Rukiya & Masami Inahata
6. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs MAO
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

There is just so much energy coming out of Sanshiro Takagi with his return to the ring and he wants to use it against someone he hasn’t fought in a singles match in a while. The last time Takagi fought MAO one on one was in New York back in 2019 (ignoring the Baka Gaijin + Friends universe where Takagi Sanshirobo fought Tyrannosaurus Inoue).

We have one more Minoru Suzuki appearance to wrap up the King Of DDT arc. Too bad for him he has to go team up with Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata.

The Dropkick Bar is being well represented for Soma Takao’s comeback match. He along with Naomi Yoshimura, Yukio Naya and Yuki Ishida all work there in one form or another.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 31: SUSPENDED ANIMATION”, 30/06/2026
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Miles Karu

The Japan excursion continues for Miles Karu with a stop by Baka Gaijin + Friends added to his schedule for the end of the month.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”, 18/07/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Aja Kong Vs Arisu Endo

It’s going to be the thumbs up from Arisu Endo battling against the Uraken fist of Aja Kong.

Also planned to appear on the show are Sakura Hirota and MIRAI.

Kira Summer will not be on the show because she will be spending a month back home in Australia. She will be gone from Tokyo Joshi Pro from 18th July to 16th August but will be wrestling a few times in Australia during that period.
