-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yuki Ueno defeated Shunma Katsumata (c) with a Sleeper Hold (7:36 pm).
*Yuki Ueno becomes the 1,917th champion.

After today we’re done with the Beer Garden shows for the rest of the year. It ends on a bright point for Kaisei Takechi who got to compete in his first DDT style Falls Count Anywhere match teaming up with The 37KAMIINA. Before the match began Shunma Katsumata tried rolling up his own teammate Yuki Ueno to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Ueno kicked out so Katsumata ran away from the ring, briefly delaying the match from starting. Takechi fought with HARASHIMA around the venue before joining To-y so they could push each other on a cart along the aisleway. The opposing team put Sanshiro Takagi on a second cart and the two carts crashed into each other. Katsumata then rolled up Ueno again, this time succeeding to win the title. Junta Miyawaki built a castle of chairs nearby but Akito couldn’t find the Dramatic Dream bike anywhere. Suddenly Takechi was seen piloting it into the venue and cycling straight toward the chair castle. Everyone on the other team jumped out of the way as Takechi bumped his entire team into the chairs. He made up for the mistake by diving off the stage onto HARASHIMA & Akito. Ueno & Katsumata then fought with Takagi using chairs, coming out on top because of the numbers game. Katsumata climbed up to the balcony where he hit the Totonou Splash from three metres high onto Takagi through a table to win the match. Ueno then ruined Katsumata’s celebration by putting him in a Sleeper Hold to win back the Iron Man Title. He did the same to To-y when To-y tried to win the belt off him. Takechi saw two of his teammates were suddenly unconscious and decided not to join in. Katsumata tried to ambush Ueno one more time backstage after the show only to be sent to sleep yet again.

A special rule was added to the 8-Man Tag Match. Both MAO and Daisuke Sasaki were named captains of their teams. Whenever there was a kickout or rope break the team captain must drink a glass of alcohol. MAO and Sasaki got progressively more drunk as the match continued while everyone else involved were unaffected. Sasaki tried spitting his drink Poison Mist style but blinded MJ Paul with it by mistake. Yukio Naya took advantage to pin Paul with a Small Package.

Kazuma Sumi & Yuni are now confident that NωA Jr. can win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles after they beat two of the previous champions from paleyouth. Sumi & Yuni both proclaimed they will win the titles on 18th October.

Jun Akiyama acted as an honorary member of FANTÔMES DRAMATIC today by wearing some of their merch to the ring today. He also took part in their antics that involved baseball bats and some water balloons.

The 3 Way Match ended before Toru Owashi could make it to the ring. During his entrance, Antonio Honda grabbed the Hirata Go! glasses and threw them away, distracting Kazuki Hirata long enough to pin him with a roll up. Owashi was so upset he missed the match that Hisaya Imabayashi made the other wrestlers apologise to him and agree to a restart. As the rematch went on, Owashi and Honda gave each other a Lip Lock. That inspired Hirata to try doing the same with Yukinori Matsui, who closed his eyes in anticipation. Honda then rolled up Hirata for a pin but there was no count because Imabayashi’s eyes were still closed so he couldn’t see a pin. Owashi then made Honda use the Shining Gongitsune against himself and then used La Magistral Cradle to win the match.

The opening match showed us a world where Danshoku Dieno entered the wrestling industry as a no nonsense young lion wrestling in black trunks and no other presentation. This meant Yuki Ishida was the gritty veteran putting the rookie through his paces. Except at some point in the match something awakened in Ishida and he started to act like Dieno’s normal gimmick. Ishida ended up giving Dieno the Lip Lock and then started stripping out of his wrestling gear, causing the match to get called off.

7. DDT Universal Title: Ryusuke Taguchi (c) Vs Akito

DDT made a blunder when announcing the full match card for this show. Originally Kumadori was booked for one of the early matches. Hours later DDT had to change plans and cancel his appearance because Kumadori already has something scheduled with O-MENZ that day. Thus he wouldn’t be able to make it to the show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FALL TOUR ~RAY OF HOPE IN KASUKABE~”, 24/10/2026
Saitama Katsuki Fureai Cube Matsunaga Multipurpose Hall

1. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Losers Bracket: Loser Of Match 1A Vs Loser Of Match 1B
2. Next Generation Tournament ’26 – Winners Bracket: Winner Of Match 1A Vs Winner Of Match 1B
3. Special Tag Match: Miyu Yamashita & Yuki Kamifuku Vs Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine

The retirement road takes a weird turn with one of Yuki Kamifuku’s upcoming matches. She wants a match against Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine. Dieno was an early supporter of Kamifuku as she trained for her debut. She remembers how he praised her for practicing the Eye Poke. Plus they are both dog owners and have a shared bond through how much they love their pets. Sasadango is the first masked wrestler Kamifuku ever watched. As for who she wants to team with, Kamiyu picked Miyu Yamashita because out of everybody in Tokyo Joshi Pro she is the most capable of beating up men.

Ihashi’s Leaving Too, A Lot Of Falls Count Anywhere, Universal Title Match In NJPW

September 25, 2026

DDT “FACE FINAL ~GOODBYE TO SHINJUKU FACE! WITH GRATITUDE FOR 21 YEARS! THIS IS OUR SHINJUKU DRAMATIC DREAM!~”, 27/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Jun Akiyama Vs Masami Inahata
2. Special Tag Match: Daichi Sato & Kazuma Sumi Vs Yuki Ishida & Kumadori
3. Soma Takao & Gota Ihashi’s Final Match For DDT: Soma Takao, Kazuki Hirata & Akito (w/ Gota Ihashi) Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Ken Ohka & Naomi Yoshimura
4. DDT Extreme Title – Shura Besieged On All Sides -Battlefield Of Bloody Combat-: Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki (c) Vs Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku
6. CASPA Presents Falls Count Anywhere Survival 4 Way 8-Man Tag Match ~FACE FINAL~: MAO, KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai Vs Yuki Ueno, Danshoku Dieno, To-y & Yuni

Later this weekend is DDT’s turn to say goodbye to Shinjuku FACE. Their big send off is a massive 4 Way Unit Falls Count Anywhere match with no time limit. Last team left standing wins!

On short notice Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki have given paleyouth a shot at the KO-D Tag Team Titles. However Aoki has already gotten into Yuya Koroku’s head by calling him fat and needing to get in shape for the match. The mind game might knock Koroku from the same page he’s on with Takeshi Masada.

The DDT Extreme Title match will be a Lumberjack match between Shunma Katsumata and Ryota Nakatsu. It has been explained that the lumberjacks are permitted to attack a wrestler thrown out of the ring but they are prohibited from getting into the ring or directly interfering in the match.

Another wrestler is saying goodbye to DDT at the same time Soma Takao will be. Gota Ihashi’s contract with the promotion is ending this month and he has decided it is time to take a different path with his life. He still intends to wrestle and ensures everyone this is not a retirement. Since this news is kind of last minute, he’s been thrown into Takao’s match as a second for that team rather than a participating wrestler.

On the injury front, Viento Levante is going to take some time off soon to get ACL surgery on his right knee. He will finish off the rest of his bookings for this month and appear at the MUSCLE show on 1st October but after that he is on the shelf. He said he recently felt something wrong with his knee and after consulting with his doctor he agreed it would be better to get surgery on it instead of continue to wrestle. That way he can come back in perfect condition for the long run.

DDT “NANIWA PRO WRESTLING ROAD 2026”, 04/10/2026
Osaka City Higashiyodogawa Ward Kumin Hall

1. Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Akito Vs Yuya Koroku, To-y & Hinata Kasai
2. Jun Akiyama, Junta Miyawaki & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Takeshi Masada, Daichi Sato & Yuki Ishida
3. Yuki Ueno Vs Masami Inahata
4. STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: MAO, KANON & Yukio Naya (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda
5. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Shunma Katsumata, Yuni, Kazuma Sumi & Kumadori
6. Naomi Yoshimura 10th Anniversary Debut Match ~ Special Single Match: Zeus Vs Naomi Yoshimura

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

DDT “BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026 ~THE FINAL~”, 08/10/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Jun Akiyama, Chris Brookes & Hinata Kasai Vs Naomi Yoshimura, Yuya Koroku & Masami Inahata
2. paleyouth Vs NωA Jr.!: Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato Vs Kazuma Sumi & Yuni
3. A Match To Help The “Variety Team Leader” Regain His Team Leader Instincts: Toru Owashi Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda
4. Newcomer Danshoku Dieno Debut Match: Veteran Yuki Ishida Vs Newcomer Danshoku Dieno
5. Special 8-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON, Yukio Naya (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Kumadori Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion
6. Falls Count Anywhere 8-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata, To-y & Kaisei Takechi Vs Junta Miyawaki, Sanshiro Takagi, HARASHIMA & Akito

The next big step for Kaisei Takechi’s pro wrestling career is to take part in a Falls Count Anywhere match. He’s in there with some reliable people when it comes to that kind of wrestling.

The Beer Garden is a world where you can create the idea that Yuki Ishida is the salty veteran and Danshoku Dieno is the naive little rookie.

The rest of the DDT Variety Team are trying to make Toru Owashi remember why he’s in charge of the group, whether he wants to be or not.

DDT “WRESTLING HARVEST 2026 ~AUTUMN PRO WRESTLING HARVEST FESTIVAL~”, 18/10/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata, Kazuma Sumi & Yuni
2. DDT Universal Title: Ryusuke Taguchi (c) Vs Akito

There is a New Japan show taking place the day before this where Ryusuke Taguchi will be defending the DDT Universal Title against Dick Togo. The two have been building up a feud with each other on the latest tour and Taguchi’s been wanting to have a title defence in his home promotion. Given that his previous challengers have been disciples of Togo, Taguchi thinks it makes all the sense in the world for Togo to be the next opponent. Whoever wins that match must come to DDT the next day for a title defence against Akito.

DAMNATION T.A have the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles in their grasp again but they expect DDT will find an excuse to take it away from them. They had to vacate the belts during their last reign when KANON was kicked out of the group. Daisuke Sasaki thinks they should skip over everything and vacate the belts but Ilusion wants the team to beat up some idols first. DAMNATION T.A aren’t going to miss the chance to crush NωA Jr. while it’s available to them.

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2026”, 03/11/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special Single Match: Jun Kasai Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Special Tag Match: To-y & Kaisei Takechi Vs KANON & Kumadori
3. Dramatic Dream Match: Zack Sabre Jr. Vs Shinya Aoki
4. KO-D Openweight Title: MAO (c) Vs Chris Brookes

There are two people in the world MAO wants to headline Sumo Hall with to show that DDT has moved past its dark times. The first is Yuki Ueno and that’s now happened twice. The other is Chris Brookes which is why MAO is defending the KO-D Openweight Title against him this November. Is the idea here to do a match you would see in the small room of Baka Gaijin + Friends in front of DDT’s biggest audience at a major venue?

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2026 IN UENO” Results

September 16, 2026

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2026 IN UENO”, 16/09/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Mecha To-y & Dr. Ueno defeated KANON & Water Inahata when To-y pinned Inahata after an Electrocution (12:23).
2. Special Rules 3 Way Match: Junta Miyawaki defeated Danshoku Dieno and Kazuki Hirata when Miyawaki climbed the Lighting Tower and shouted “I Love Ueno!” (10:39).
3. Newcomer Vs Newcomer Double Debut Match: Newcomer Shunma Katsumata defeated Newcomer Yuya Koroku with a Crab Hold (8:11).
4. Special Tag Match: Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato defeated Ryuma Sekimo & Hinata Kasai when Masada pinned Kasai after a Combined PK (10:54).
5. Crocodile Death Match Returns: Crocodile D Sasa, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul defeated MAO, Viento Levante & Kazuma Sumi (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) and Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda when Sasa pinned Honda with the Waniwani Splash into the Electric Pool (17:40).
6. Doroki-Style Drunk Match ~Soma Takao Farewell Party~: Soma Takao defeated Naomi Yoshimura, Yukio Naya and Yuki Ishida when Takao pinned Ishida with the Gin And Tonic (17:17).
*Special Referee: Akito (Former Store Manager)

Alcohol has always played an important part of DDT’s business. The Dropkick Bar has long been a backbone of the company’s non-wrestling activities and for many years Soma Takao has been in charge of the establishment. That will be coming to an end soon when Takao leaves DDT to become a freelance wrestler at the end of the month. He will be leaving his store manager role in the Dropkick Bar too so the rest of the wrestler staff wanted to hold a special Drunk Match on today’s show to let Takao take part in the fun. Whenever music played during the match, everyone would stop fighting and start drinking. It was Takao’s idea to make it that cans of Strong Zero was the only drink available for the match.

Naturally, the wrestlers quickly cared more about getting drunk than wrestling each other so the special referee Akito warned them that they wouldn’t get paid if they kept acting like this. Takao didn’t care because he’s quitting DDT soon and Yuki Ishida didn’t mind as long as he could still drink. He eventually got so drunk that he stripped down to his underwear. Naomi Yoshimura and Yukio Naya tried to keep the match going and used lucha libre to catch the attention of the other two and draw them back into the action. The music started playing more and more until every wrestler was too drunk to do anything. A bunch of wrestlers who weren’t part of the match got involved to do a Train attack on Takao. But Takao recovered to hit Ishida over the head with a can and then pin him with the Gin And Tonic. After the match Takao wondered if DDT was trying to kill them all with alcohol poisoning but then talked about how happy he is to wrestle his friends before he leaves. Naya presented Takao with a bouquet as thanks for his work with the Dropkick Bar over the years. Takao is not the type to cry but he cannot help but feel touched by this and he hopes the feeling he has now will get passed down to the next generation of wrestlers.

The trauma of what happened in Shakujii Park back in 1993 came back to haunt Daisuke Sasaki once more so he was nowhere to be seen for the Crocodile Death Match. He was replaced by Crocodile D Sasa once again. Other wrestlers went missing before the show too. To-y went into a crazy trance and wandered off into the park, causing Yuki Ueno to go search for him. He was able to find him but they didn’t make it back in time for the show so DDT had to replace them with Mecha To-y & Dr. Ueno. Mecha To-y ended up interfering in the Crocodile Death Match.

There was a special rule added to the 3 Way Match. After the three minute mark passed, the wrestlers were allowed to go over to the lighting tower where there was a panda mask attached to it. The first wrestler to grab the mask and shout “I love Ueno” would be declared the winner. Kazuki Hirata grabbed the mask but dropped it while he was being attacked by Danshoku Dieno. The mask fell down to Junta Miyawaki who picked it up and yelled “I love Ueno” to win the match.

Mecha To-y & Dr. Ueno were the replacement team in the opening match but there was an extra change for it too. Masami Inahata was recently encouraged by the DDT Variety Team to take up a gimmick and become Water Masami (because Thunder and Fire were both already taken by he and his brother). Masami took the gimmick seriously by wrestling in an all blue wetsuit while spraying water everywhere. Unfortunately spraying himself in water made him vulnerable to Mecha To-y’s electricity. Masami ended up electrocuting himself when he tried to Lariat the Mecha while his arm was soaked in water.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”, 03/10/2026
Tokyo EBARA WAVE Arena Ota

1. Chieri Sakimori Debut Match: Chieri Sakimori Vs X
2. Aja Kong, Sakura Hattori & Kumadori Vs Chris Brookes, Kira Summer & Chika Nanase
3. 3 Way Tag Match: Raku & Minimo Vs Pom Harajuku & Pokotan Vs Mahiro Kiryu & Tama

8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Suzume

We’re getting an International Championship match on the show after all, just not the International Princess Title. Instead it is the EVE International Title that will be on the line when Miyu Yamashita and Arisu Endo have their rematch from last year’s Tokyo Princess Cup. Just because Endo won last time doesn’t mean she believes she has now made it up to equal footing with Yamashita. Winning a championship off her sure would confirm it though.

The challenger for Shoko Nakajima has been found. It’s the return of Zara Zakher to Tokyo Joshi Pro! Her last appearance in TJPW was at the 2025 Las Vegas show during WrestleMania Weekend. Since then she had been signed to a WWE ID deal and according to TJPW that project was a reason why Zakher hasn’t come back to Japan until now. In the meantime she still had faint connections to TJPW in America thanks to Kitsune booking her in matches against Yamashita and Kamifuku. Now for her first match back in Japan she gets to challenge Nakajima for the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title.

Something I completely forgot when Go Nagai got involved with the marketing for this show is the man is responsible for creating the character of Jushin Liger in the first place! So since Nagai is part of the show, let’s have Liger get involved too. He’s been selected to be the referee for a match between Mizuki and Hyper Misao. Both wrestlers think they will benefit from Liger’s officiating, Mizuki because she claims to be a good girl and Misao because she claims to be a super hero.

The newest rookie in TJPW is Chieri Sakimori, the first person to debut after coming through TJPW’s wrestling camps that are held several times a month at their dojo. Sakimori is from Fukuoka and stands 154cm tall. She discovered TJPW from their collab show with OCHA NORMA last December and has a rhythmic gymnastics background from her elementary and junior high school years. She also currently runs a salon, working there as an eyelash artist.

There is expected to be one or two more matches added to the card before it gets finalized.

2. Special Tag Match: To-y & Kaisei Takechi Vs KANON & Kumadori
3. Dramatic Dream Match: Zack Sabre Jr. Vs Shinya Aoki

The day after Shinya Aoki’s fight in RIZIN happened, DDT wanted to capitalize on the attention he was getting by announcing his special opponent at Sumo Hall this November. It’s going to be Zack Sabre Jr.! They were able to face each other in a tag match back in May but this will be a first time singles match between the two.

Shion Kanzaki will now face Pom Harajuku and the tag match Harajuku was a part of is now a 3 Way Match with the remaining wrestlers.

Look it’s pro wrestling, retirements and final matches do not matter. So here’s another Crocodile Death Match. Let’s hope Daisuke Sasaki doesn’t lose his composure over past crocodile related trauma right before it takes place again.

With Soma Takao leaving soon, all of the Dropkick Bar wrestlers want to send him off with their own version of the Drunk Match.

Both Shunma Katsumata and Yuya Koroku are going back in time to their rookie forms to relive their debut matches.

Shinjuku FACE

1. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Wakana Uehara

Kamiyu’s last singles match of the month is against her Ober Eats partner, Wakana Uehara. As the days count down toward her retirement it will soon be time to wonder what her final match is going to be. Maybe TJPW will put on one of their wacky Gauntlet or Rumble matches so she gets to fight everybody in short bursts one last time each.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”, 03/10/2026

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Raku & X Vs Pom Harajuku & X Vs Mahiro Kiryu & X

Her first defence is set for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” against an opponent to be determined. It has been noted by TJPW that the challenger selection is not limited to Asia and it is possible Nakajima’s opponent could be from anywhere around the world. At this point in her career, Nakajima has become an accomplished wrestler who has competed worldwide and is ready to be tested by whoever TJPW or SETUP can find.

DDT “NANIWA PRO WRESTLING ROAD 2026”, 04/10/2026
Osaka City Higashiyodogawa Ward Kumin Hall

1. Naomi Yoshimura 10th Anniversary Debut Match ~ Special Single Match: Zeus Vs Naomi Yoshimura

A few weeks back Naomi Yoshimura let everyone know that he asked DDT for to book a particular opponent for his 10th Anniversary match scheduled for October. DDT honored his request and it’s now been revealed his opponent is going to be Zeus! The Osaka strongman was the person who originally opened the doors for Yoshimura to get into pro wrestling through his bodybuilding gym. When Yoshimura graduated from high school, he trained under Zeus and credits him for turning his dream of becoming a pro wrestler into reality. Zeus has kept himself busy these past few years with running Osaka Pro, the company he was successfully able to revive back in 2022. He doesn’t wrestle outside of his home promotion that often so for DDT to get him on board for a match that means a lot to Yoshimura is quite a big deal.

DDT “DRAMATIC BEER GARDEN NEVERLAND 2026 IN UENO” Results

August 26, 2026

DDT “DRAMATIC BEER GARDEN NEVERLAND 2026 IN UENO”, 26/08/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Ueno Style Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: Shunma Katsumata & Kazuma Sumi defeated To-y & Yuya Koroku when Sumi pinned To-y with a Gaydo Clutch (11:06).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Shunma Katsumata defeated Kazuma Sumi (c) with a Gaydo Clutch (5:48 pm).
*Shunma Katsumata becomes the 1,902nd champion.
2. Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere Anytime Anywhere Battle: Antonio Honda defeated KANON with the Japanese Leg Roll Clutch (6:40).
*Antonio Honda wins KANON’s Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere Anytime Anywhere Gauntlet.
3. Sanshiro Takagi, Akito, Junta Miyawaki & Masami Inahata defeated Jun Akiyama, HARASHIMA, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuki Ishida when Miyawaki pinned Ishida with the Sunshine Clutch (9:08).
4. Crocodile Death Match Final Chapter: MAO, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) defeated Crocodile D Sasa, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion when MAO pinned Ilusion with the Michinoku Driver II into the Bucket (9:40).
5. KING OF DRUNK 2026 ~August Basho~: Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes defeated Kazuki Hirata & Hinata Kasai when Ueno pinned Hirata after a Lariat from Hinata (16:18).
6. KING OF “Non-Alcoholic” DRUNK 2026: Danshoku Dieno Vs Takeshi Masada Vs Daichi Sato Vs Yuni ended in a No Contest (10:51).
6a. Emergency Match: Yuki Ueno, Chris Brookes, Kazuki Hirata & Hinata Kasai defeated Danshoku Dieno, Takeshi Masada, Daichi Sato & Yuni when Brookes pinned Dieno with a Piledriver in the Pool (7:56).
*Chris Brookes wins Danshoku Dieno’s Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere Gauntlet.

DDT’s attempt at integrating the sober wrestlers into their Beer Garden show hit a bit of a setback. The KING OF “Non-Alcoholic” DRUNK match was put in the main event where the participants drank cola instead of beer whenever music was played. It was done this way because Daichi Sato and Yuni are not old enough to drink yet while Danshoku Dieno and Takeshi Masada had their own reasons not to spend the day drinking booze. The problem with this is everyone drank so much cola that they all felt too bloated to continue wrestling. All of the drunk wrestlers from the match before then entered the ring and got into an arguement, leading to an impromptu 8-Man Tag Match taking place between the beer drinkers and the cola drinkers.

During the match everyone forced each other to drink bottles of cola while they wrestled. The fighting moved out of the ring where Chris Brookes gave Dieno a cola filled Lip Lock before Piledriving him into a paddle pool full of water for the victory. Brookes has now won the Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere Gauntlet but he was too drunk to figure out what to do. He knows MAO will be defending the KO-D Openweight Title against Sato soon but thinks Sato will win and then he can cash in the title shot on him. Something to also keep in mind is that Antonio Honda won the Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere Anytime Anywhere Gauntlet from KANON earlier in the show. Both Gauntlets are active until 27th September.

The Crocodile Death Match again brought back bad memories for Daisuke Sasaki. There was a crocodile sighting that happened at Shakujii Park in Nerima back in 1993 and the incident seems to have scarred him for life. He couldn’t sleep last night and was too sleep deprived to wrestle so he was replaced in the match by Crocodile D Sasa. However as the match progressed Sasa was eventually stripped out of his costume and was revealed to be Daisuke Sasaki all along!

Junta Miyawaki was all business for his match because he is getting ready to defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles soon. After his match he sent a message out to Rukiya, telling him to get better so they can have their title match together as originally planned. He isn’t going to take his new opponents Dieno or Kazuki Hirata lightly because he is well aware of how important they both are to DDT. If they get serious then Miyawaki knows he and Shinya Aoki will not be getting an easy defence.

The show opening Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match ended up with Shunma Katsumata and Kazuma Sumi doing some light Danshoku Dieno spots with To-y. Katsumata gave him a Lip Lock so Sumi could roll him over into a Gaydo Clutch for the pin. Then as the team celebrated their win, Katsumata gave Sumi the Lip Lock and then pinned him with the Gaydo Clutch to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title.

There was a KO-D Title match contract signing for MAO and Daichi Sato before any of the matches began. Sato said he is not anxious or scared at all about the match. In fact, his anticipation and excitement grows as every day gets closer to 30th August. He is extremely confident he can beat MAO and become the youngest KO-D Champion ever. MAO wants his title reign to be free spirited so he isn’t going to talk down his challenger just because of his age. While Sato is having his last summer vacation as a high school student, MAO is having his last summer in his 20s so he wants this to be a summer neither will ever forget.

6. KING OF “Non-Alcoholic” DRUNK 2026: Danshoku Dieno Vs Takeshi Masada Vs Daichi Sato Vs Yuni

The show is happening (or might even be over) while I type this but this is the only time I have for the next day or two to write a news update without worrying about it getting in the way of other stuff.

The Non-Alcoholic KING OF DRUNK match is going on last for the Beer Garden show? The game’s gone!

For the second time this year Daisuke Sasaki is having trouble sleeping because he’s been thinking about the crocodile incident that took place at Shakujii Park in Nerima back in 1993. He has pulled out of today’s show and DDT have decided to replace him with Crocodile D Sasa.

7. Princess Tag Team Titles Next Challenger Decision Match – 3 Way Tag Match: Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs HIMAWARI & Toga

There is going to be a Princess Tag Team Titles match going on at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” next month but no clear contenders have emerged due to everybody focusing on the Tokyo Princess Cup. A 3 Way Tag has been put together to solve that problem. Two of the three teams are already established. That’s K!SS// and Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed. The third team are the wild cards of HIMAWARI & Toga, the two young wrestlers who both reached the Princess Cup semi finals this year.

Tokyo Joshi Pro is welcoming another Australian wrestler for a show and she’s already a “Lil” familiar with the brand. Marz is from Brisbane but has been wrestling around the world this year. That includes a tag match she had with Toga in Las Vegas during WrestleMania Week. She’s already in Japan and has been wrestling plenty for Ice Ribbon lately but this is going to be her TJPW debut.

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2026 ~MAPO YAKISOBA~”, 06/09/2026

3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi

As promised by Kaisei Takechi, he wants to wrestle more often on DDT shows that are held outside of Tokyo. He also needs to catch up if he wants to reach his goal of total matches wrestled in 2026.

A nice return to DDT is on the cards for Makoto Oishi so he can give Masami Inahata a test in the ring.

DDT “RING NO AKIBASHO 2026”, 09/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: Viento Levante Vs Ilusion
2. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao Vs Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs To-y, Kazuma Sumi & Kaisei Takechi

Over the years Soma Takao has been both an ally and an enemy to Daisuke Sasaki. With his days as a DDT wrestler coming to a close, Takao is going to team with Sasaki one more time.

The rivalry between Viento Levante and Ilusion continues as they meet once again a few weeks before they fight for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”, 03/10/2026
Tokyo EBARA WAVE Arena Ota

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Masato Kamino Vs Takeru Inoue

3. 4 Way Tag Match: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Daichi Kazato & Seiya Morohashi Vs Takato Nakano & Yasu Urano Vs Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita
4. Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT Vs Isami Kodaka & FUMA
5. Union MAX Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Daiki Shimomura

Never mind what I said before about Takeru Inoue getting pushed up the card. His match with Masato Kamino is in fact the opener for tomorrow’s show.

DDT “DRAMATIC BEER GARDEN NEVERLAND 2026 IN UENO”, 26/08/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Sanshiro Takagi, Akito, Junta Miyawaki & Masami Inahata Vs Jun Akiyama, HARASHIMA, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuki Ishida
2. Ueno Style Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: Shunma Katsumata & Kazuma Sumi Vs To-y & Yuya Koroku

4. Crocodile Death Match Final Chapter: MAO, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion
5. KING OF “Non-Alcoholic” DRUNK 2026: Danshoku Dieno Vs Takeshi Masada Vs Daichi Sato Vs Yuni
6. KING OF DRUNK 2026 ~August Basho~: Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes Vs Kazuki Hirata & Hinata Kasai

It’s nice of DDT to finally be more considerate towards the non-alcoholic wrestlers on the roster during Beer Garden shows. The tee-total wrestlers are getting a match for themselves attached to the KING OF DRUNK series, even if some of the participants don’t drink only because they aren’t allowed to yet.

Time is ticking away for the Anytime Anywhere Anytime Anywhere Gauntlet to be used. If KANON waits too long it may end up becoming too late to use it. While he has that to worry about, he will also have to defend it against Antonio Honda.

DDT “LAST SUMMER STANDING ~SUMMER’S RECKONING~”, 30/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Naomi Yoshimura & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Yuni & Yuki Ishida
1. 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) Vs Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai
2. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Jun Akiyama & Fuminori Abe
3. Special 8-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano, Akito & Soma Takao Vs Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku, Kazuma Sumi & Masami Inahata
4. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki (c) Vs Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata
5. DDT Extreme Title: Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Kumadori
6. DDT Universal Title: Ryusuke Taguchi (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki
7. KO-D Openweight Title: MAO (c) Vs Daichi Sato

The upcoming Korakuen Hall show has some changes, the most important of which applies to the KO-D Tag Team Titles bout. Rukiya has been diagnosed with acute pharyngitis and acute tonsillitis so DDT has pulled him from their shows up until early September. That means his title match with Jun Akiyama against Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki has to be cancelled. In response to this announcement, both Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata have offered to step in on short notice on behalf of Rukiya because he recently passed the audition to join the DDT Variety Team (without ever taking part because he is ill) and become their new ace (which he might be completely unaware of). Dieno has even upped the ante by claiming the Variety Team will disband if they lose! Hirata also happens to be fishing buddies with Rukiya away from wrestling so he is motivated to catch a belt-sized trophy for his buddy.

The new tag title match has a knock on effect on the rest of the card beneath it. Jun Akiyama will now be taking part in a different tag match, teaming up with Fuminori Abe. That means Abe is no longer involved in the Smile Squash 8-Man Tag match built around Soma Takao. Abe’s spot is now taken up by Kazuma Sumi making his team now an all D GENERATIONS affair. Viento Levante gets bumped out of the dark match to take Sumi’s place in the 3 Way trios match and Tomomitsu Matsunaga is added to the dark match to make everything look neat and tidy.

DDT “THE FINAL SHINJUKU FACE BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING” Results

August 14, 2026

DDT “THE FINAL SHINJUKU FACE BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING”, 14/08/2026
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

0. Dark Match ~ Brutal Grudge Final Showdown! Loser Retires Special: Hisaya Imabayashi defeated Tetsuya Koda with the Uraken (10:09).
1. Soma Takao, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida defeated Jun Akiyama, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Masami Inahata when Takao pinned Matsunaga with a DDT (8:48).
2. paleyouth Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato defeated Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai when Koroku submitted Kasai with a Flying Armbar (11:57).
3. 3 Way Tag Match: Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) defeated Hideki Okatani & Ilusion and Kazuma Sumi & Yuni when Levante pinned Yuni (10:40).
4. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Our LariPro ’26: Keisuke Ishii, Danshoku Dieno & Junta Miyawaki defeated Shunma Katsumata (c), Yuki Iino & Kazuki Hirata when Dieno pinned Katsumata with the Lariat (7:46).
*Danshoku Dieno becomes the 1,900th champion. Danshoku Dieno wins Shunma Katsumata’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet.
5. Special Single Match ~ I’m You, You’re Me: Daisuke Sasaki and Fake Daisuke Sasaki defeated Daision Sasaki with the Double Crossface Lock (11:02).
6. Unit Shuffle! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & HARASHIMA defeated Chris Brookes, KANON & To-y when Ueno pinned To-y with the Jul.2 (24:17).

The final ever DDT Beer Garden show inside Shinjuku FACE took place today. The main event had everyone swap around their costumes and mix up their teams, ignoring unit alliances. Chris Brookes and HARASHIMA swapped costumes, MAO and KANON swapped costumes and Yuki Ueno and To-y swapped costumes. Even KIMIHIRO and YUZUKI swapped outfits with each other! It led to everyone trying to replicate the moves and motions of the wresters they were dressed as. The two teams brawled away from the ring, leading to some confusion when Shunma Katsumata suddenly appeared in the ring wearing a spare of Ueno’s outfit that To-y was also wearing. Yuki Iino then crashed the match dressed as Yukio Naya. HARASHIMA then reappeared but this time he was dressed as Antonio Honda and he did the entire Gongitsune bit. Everybody gradually returned to their normal selves to finish off the match. At the end of the show, Ueno told everyone there was one thing he would like to see one last time in Shinjuku FACE. The “Pai Rangers” song then played over the speakers for HARASHIMA to dance to.

After recovering from the chronic hangover that kept him off yesterday’s show, Daisuke Sasaki was back to fight a fake version of himself. Fake Daisuke Sasaki showed up accompanied with Fake DAMNATION T.A members Fake Hideki Okatani and Fake MJ Paul. They confronted the real versions until all of a sudden another Daisuke Sasaki doppelganger appeared named Daision Sasaki. Daision attacked the other two until he accidentally hit himself with a chair bouncing off the ropes. Then the real Sasaki and the Fake Sasaki applied a Double Crossface Lock to make Daision give up. Daisuke Kiso wasn’t sure how to call the result so he raised the hands of both Daisuke Sasaki and Fake Daisuke Sasaki.

Shunma Katsumata’s new goal of becoming a DDT Triple Crown Champion has already gone up in smoke. Danshoku Dieno beat him in the Lariat Pro Wrestling match to win both the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title and the remaining Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet. The Lariat match had everyone using the move while theme songs of famous Lariat users played throughout the action. Since NOAH’s own Junta Miyawaki was in the match, some of the non-Lariat related songs played included Naomichi Marufuji’s and Mitsuharu Misawa’s. They also played the AEW and New Japan theme songs for Kazuchika Okada.

The ending of Shinjuku FACE also spurred on the end for one of the biggest grudge matches ever associated with DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro. The two authority figures of the companies Hisaya Imabayashi and Tetsuya Koda agreed to have one final match against each other where the loser must immediately retire! It was a war that showcased heart more than physicality between the two enemies. Koda tried to summon the power of TJPW by attempting Hyper Misao’s Chickenwing Face Lock, Mizuki’s Crossface and Yuki Arai’s Finally. When they wouldn’t work he stuck Imabayashi in a Sleeper Hold that almost choked the DDT GM out. But suddenly the DDT roster all ran down to the ring to show their support for Imabayashi, motivating him to fight out of the hold. He used the Rainmaker motion to knock Koda down with a Spinning Backfist but didn’t have the heart to finally pin the man he couldn’t beat. Koda encouraged him to keep fighting and after a limp Chop Battle, Imabayashi knocked him down with one final Spinning Backfist to win the match. Koda’s sudden retirement ceremony then began only for Imabayashi to interrupt it. He said without Koda as his rival he has no reason to continue wrestling so he will be retiring alongside him! These two retirements are just for being pro wrestlers, they will continue their management roles in their respective promotions.
