6. The Final Match Of Beer Garden Pro Wrestling 2024! Special Drunk 3 Way Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino Vs Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi

Everyone in the main event wants to get drunk tomorrow so DDT may as well make it part of the match.

Due to a strong request by Antonio Honda, he and Jun Akiyama will now face each other in a Tiger Cub Rope Death Match! They will be attached to each other by the wrist with a tiger rope and more importantly a tiger cub stuffed toy is hanging from the middle of the rope. It will be up to the wrestlers to protect the toy from their opponent or even use it as a weapon.

Recent shenanigans with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title has led to Kazuki Hirata now defending the title against former champion Danshoku Dieno.

The Right To Challenge Shield holders going into tomorrow’s show are Shunma Katsumata (Blue) and Soma Takao (White).

The KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Champions have to make a substitution for their next title defence. Takayuki Ueki is out of action with a dislocated shoulder so he is being replaced with Munetatsu Nakamura from Ganbare☆Pro.

This is the full card for Tokyo Joshi Pro’s collaboration with DEFY. The semi-main event is a preview for the next Princess Of Princess Title match as Miu Watanabe and Zara Zakher will be in opposite teams. Two new names from the North American scene will step foot into TJPW for the first time. Liiza Hall is from Canada and has nine years of experience. Rebel Kel has previously wrestled in Japan for Stardom near the end of the pre-Bushiroad era. Amira was on last December’s TJPW show with Prestige. She also teamed with Rika Tatsumi back then so they are already familiar with each other. But is that enough to take on Daisy Monkey?

Tokyo GOTANDA G6/G7

1. Pom Harajuku Vs Uta Takami
2. Miu Watanabe & Raku Vs Wakana Uehara & Shino Suzuki

Another season means another Garafes event hosting a few mat wrestling matches with Tokyo Joshi Pro and The Up Up Girls.

5. Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Kaya Toribami
6. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Mahiro Kiryu & Moka Miyamoto
7. Miu Watanabe & Suzume Vs Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku

It’s been so long since TJPW had a tag team of sisters. Kira Summer is bringing over her sister Miki Fortune to team up together. Fortune’s a bit of a wild one so anyone expecting her to act just like Summer will be in for a surprise.

The Next Generation Tournament begins with on this show.

Shoko Nakajima will be in America for Deadlock Pro competing in the Battle Of The Best final so she will be missing this show. Yuki Kamifuku will also be absent because she will be defending the Asian Double Crown over in the Philippines.

DDT “THE LAST BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING OF 2024”, 17/10/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi

Three units are clashing together for the next Beer Garden main event. BURNING, The 37KAMIINA and SCHADENFREUDE International are all sending two of their best for the match.

DDT “DDT PRO WRESTLING IN IKEBUKURO FULL MOON FESTIVAL 2024”, 19/10/2024
Tokyo Ikebukuro Nishiguchi Park Outdoor Theater

1. Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino Vs Soma Takao & Kazuki Hirata
2. Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Jun Akiyama, Yukio Naya & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. Special Tag Match: Akito & Pokotan Vs Danshoku Dieno & Yoshihiko
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul Vs HARASHIMA, MIKAMI & Gota Ihashi
5. KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi, Takayuki Ueki, Takeshi Masada & Mecha Mummy Vs Keigo Nakamura, To-y, Yuya Koroku, Yuki Ishida & Kazuma Sumi

A team of five from DDT’s new generation are going to challenge for the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles. SCHADENFREUDE have Takayuki Ueki subbing in for Antonio Honda but he was part of the team when they originally won the belts anyway. So it may as well be the champions entering the match at full force.

MIKAMI makes another DDT appearance this year.

One day before the DDT Extreme Title is defended, Akito and Danshoku Dieno are facing off in a wacky tag match with Pokotan and Yoshihiko also involved. The stipulation for the title match hasn’t been chosen yet but it would be leaving it very late if this match is meant to set it up.

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2024”, 20/10/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Super Sasadango Machine & Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
2. Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino Vs Jun Akiyama & Yuki Ishida
3. Yuki Ueno, MAO, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs Soma Takao, Yukio Naya, Keigo Nakamura & Yuya Koroku
4. DAMNATION T.A Vs SCHADENFREUDE International!: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada
5. DDT Extreme Title: Akito (c) Vs Danshoku Dieno
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs HARASHIMA

I bet it will have changed by the time this show happens but the two remaining Right To Challenge Shields are both currently being held by Soma Takao.

DDT “AKOS X DDT EKIMAE PRO WRESTLING”, 26/10/2024
Saitama AKOS Event Square

1. Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Shunma Katsumata Vs HARASHIMA, Yuki Ishida & Kazuma Sumi
2. Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku Vs Jun Akiyama, Yukio Naya & Keigo Nakamura
3. The 37KAMIINA Vs SCHADENFREUDE International!: Yuki Ueno, MAO & To-y Vs Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada

DDT is holding a few matches at a shopping area in Saitama. It is an outdoor show so bad weather on the day could cancel the event. The show notes say it can go ahead if it’s light rain but anything that can be described as stormy will call it off.

DDT “CHARISMANIA”, 06/11/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. KUBITO & Naohiro Katsumi 19th Anniversary Match: KUBITO Vs Naohiro Katsumi
2. The Greatest Wrestling Match Of CHARISMANIA: Daisuke Sasaki & Yuko Miyamoto Vs Dick Togo & Minoru Fujita

So many people who have links to Daisuke Sasaki are coming to “CHARISMANIA”. He is teaming with Yuko Miyamoto to face his mentors Dick Togo & Minoru Fujita. Also KUBITO and Naohiro Katsumi will have a match together to commemorate Togo’s old wrestling school called SUPER CREW. The two of them along with Sasaki were part of the school’s first graduating class.

Also booked for the show are KANON, MJ Paul, Demus, Ilusion, Diego and Anarko Montaña.

Ibushi Absent From This Month’s DDT Shows

October 5, 2024

DDT “THE LAST BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING OF 2024”, 17/10/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Antonio Honda
2. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. Street Kickboxing 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Yukimitsu Takahashi & Keigo Nakamura Vs Thanomsak Toba, Takeshi Masada & Gota Ihashi

DDT announced that Kota Ibushi will be missing the two shows they booked him for this month. That is the 17th October Beer Garden show and the 20th October Korakuen Hall show. No reason has been given other than he will be absent. Ibushi will be replaced by Keigo Nakamura on the Beer Garden show.

This news feels a bit weird. Ibushi’s conditioning since he came back hasn’t been up to scratch but this doesn’t sound like an injury situation. He’s wrestling on a GLEAT show tomorrow and there’s no sign that he’s being pulled from that. There’s gossip online over whether or not Kenny Omega has recovered from his health problems and is ready to return. Ibushi on his Instagram account also made it sound like AEW will bring them back together as The Golden Lovers. I won’t rule that out as a possibility. AEW has a TV taping on the 17th but nothing else for a week after that. It wouldn’t explain why Ibushi would miss the DDT show on the 20th. Hopefully this isn’t a situation where Ibushi and DDT had a falling out. Would be a real shame if that bridge is burned after it took so long for it to be rebuilt.

ShunMao Fears Umeda, Street Kickboxing, Ilusion’s Betrayal Sparks A War

October 4, 2024

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

1. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul Vs Akito, Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi
2. Chris Brookes & Yuki Ishida Vs Soma Takao & Kazuki Hirata
3. Jun Akiyama & Keigo Nakamura Vs Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku
4. Special Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & Yuki Ueno Vs HARASHIMA & Takeshi Masada
5. O-40 Title – 3 Way Match: Azul Dragon (c) Vs Toru Owashi Vs Danshoku Dieno
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Kota Umeda & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
7. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Iino (c) Vs To-y

After successfully defending the KO-D Tag Team Titles yesterday, ShunMao have been informed that their match against Kota Umeda & Tomomitsu Matsunaga later this month is now a title match. Both MAO & Shunma Katsumata have scary memories of Umeda from back in their DNA days so they are not looking forward to seeing him again. Tomomitsu Matsunaga is getting his second shot at the KO-D Tag Titles this year. He previously challenged for them with Jun Akiyama back in April.

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

1. Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs To-y
2. Danshoku Dieno & Soma Takao Vs Shunma Katsumata & Keigo Nakamura
3. Special Tag Match: Jun Akiyama & HARASHIMA Vs Chris Brookes & Kazuma Sumi
4. The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING!: Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku
5. Special Single Match: Yuki Iino Vs Kazuki Hirata
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul (c) Vs Akito, Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida

Kumamoto is Yuki Ishida country so he is getting a title match for his homecoming. He chose to team with Yukio Naya & Akito so they can fight for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles.

DDT “THE LAST BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING OF 2024”, 17/10/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Antonio Honda
2. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. Street Kickboxing 6-Man Tag Match: Kota Ibushi, HARASHIMA & Yukimitsu Takahashi Vs Thanomsak Toba, Takeshi Masada & Gota Ihashi

Now this is the environment I want to see Kota Ibushi flourish in again! A 6-Man Tag Match with Kickboxing rules that I guess can be described as Falls Count Anywhere? I mean the person who gets beaten will be falling over after getting knocked out so that counts, right? The match mixes together several fighting disciplines too. Yukimitsu Takahashi is a pro kickboxer who has been learning from the Ibushi Wrestling Institute since last summer. He will also be fresh off of a kickboxing bout that is happening a few days before this show. Thanomsak Toba is there to represent Muay Thai. Takeshi Masada has a background in Shorinji Kempo. HARASHIMA is going to use “HERO! Martial Arts” That just leaves Gota Ihashi as the human punching bag.

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2024”, 20/10/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DAMNATION T.A Vs SCHADENFREUDE International!: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada
2. DDT Extreme Title: Akito (c) Vs Danshoku Dieno
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs HARASHIMA

War is breaking out between SCHADENFREUDE International and DAMNATION T.A! You can blame Ilusion for that after he betrayed SCHADENFREUDE and stabbed them all in the back to join DAMNATION T.A. It was a plan that Ilusion and DAMNATION have been in cahoots with together from the very beginning. An 8-Man Tag Match in Korakuen Hall might steal the show if the angle created enough heat for it.

DDT “SUMIDA DRAMATIC DREAM! ~FREE SEATING PRO WRESTLING SHOW~”, 04/11/2024
Tokyo Higashin Arena (Sumida City Gymnasium)

1. Touchi-kun Pro Wrestling Debut Match: Touchi-kun Vs X
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Yukio Naya & Shinichiro Kawamatsu Vs Satoshi Kojima, Akito & Antonio Honda
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs X

It’s been so long since Satoshi Kojima last broke bread with DDT. Not counting “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022”, he hasn’t wrestled in DDT since the end of 2012. His mighty Lariat might meet its match though. Shinichiro Kawamatsu is on the other team and he now has the Axe Bomber that was passed down to him from Hulk Hogan!

More war is breaking out but in mascot form! Touchi-kun is the mascot of the Japan Self-Defence Force’s Tokyo headquarters but his appearance in DDT yesterday made Pokotan very jealous. Jealous enough to make Pokotan attack the other mascot and get into a fight! The solution is to settle it in the ring, meaning Touchi-kun is going to make his pro wrestling debut.

DDT “NO SPOILERS X BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING IN UENO” Results

September 10, 2024

DDT “NO SPOILERS X BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING IN UENO”, 10/09/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
532 Fans

1. Makoto Oishi, Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida (w/ Furitsuke Kamen) defeated Masahiro Takanashi, Akito & Ilusion when Oishi submitted Ilusion with a Texas Cloverleaf (6:10).
2. 5 Vs 1 Handicap Match: Tetsuya Endo defeated Poison Sawada JULIE, Yuki Anaconda, Mamushi Yuni, Hebi Koroku & Ero Mamushi Kazuma when Endo pinned JULIE with the Burning Star Press (7:34).
3. DRAGONGATE Rules: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul Vs Pero Pero Oyakata, Toru Owashi From 20 Years Ago & Kazuki Hirata At The Time Of His Debut ended in a No Contest (9:18).

5. Special Single Match: Yoshihiko defeated Takeshi Masada by Referee Stoppage when Yoshihiko tried to drown Masada (9:58).
6. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Sauna Manners Death Match ~ The 37KAMIINA Vs Shin The 37KAMIINA!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Sauna Oyakata (Danshoku Dieno) (c), Keizo Matsuda & Takayuki Ueki when To-y pinned Oyakata with a Frankensteiner (13:27).
*To-y becomes the 1,668th champion. To-y wins Danshoku Dieno’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Shield.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Danshoku Dieno defeated To-y (c) with a School Boy (7:23 pm).
*Danshoku Dieno becomes the 1,669th champion.
-. Bonus Track: Danshoku Dieno Vs Makoto Oishi ended in a Time Limit Draw (4:07).

For the second time this year DDT held a show where they encouraged fans in attendance not to spoil anything that happened on it until the following day. DDT themselves only posted about the pre-show contract signing along with censored hints about the crazy things that happened during the matches. Since this was also a Beer Garden show that meant fans were also getting more creative matches than usual.

For example in the main event a sauna tent was pitched next to the ring and any wrestler caught breaking the rules or ignoring sauna etiquette were sent into the tent as punishment. Danshoku Dieno took part in the match as a “sauna master” of an imposter group called Shin The 37KAMIINA. Their goal was to beat and replace the original unit. One by one a different wrestler was sent to the tent for breaking etiquette. To-y broke the rule of attacking an opponent on the ropes, Dieno was punished for being lewd, Takayuki Ueki was sent to the tent for threatening his opponents with a gun and Yuki Ueno got in trouble for telling Yukinori Matsui to shut up. Eventually everyone was sent to the tent and remained there until To-y ran out accusing Dieno of harrassing him in there. The match continued in the ring where Shunma Katsumata and Keizo Matsuda tried to attack each other using heatwaves until they both fainted. To-y ended up scoring an upset pin on Dieno by giving him a Frankensteiner. As a result he won both the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title as well as Dieno’s Right To Challenge Shield!

Dieno immediately won back the title when he rolled up To-y during his victory speech but the Shield remains with To-y. Makoto Oishi then approached Dieno and asked him for an impromptu singles match right now! Time was short so Hisaya Imabayashi could only let it go ahead if the match had a time limit of 4 minutes and 7 seconds. Everyone agreed and began the match. Dieno and Oishi quickly fought amongst the crowd while the rest of the roster danced and partied around them before joining in the fight. Back in the ring Oishi gave Dieno the Lip Lock but time ran out before he could pin him. Oishi then asked to have another match with Dieno. Imabayashi decided it will happen at Korakuen Hall on 29th September.

Yoshihiko defeated Takeshi Masada in a wild match that at one point had both of them fighting each other on top of a nearby van. The match ended with Yoshihiko trying to drown Masada by pressing his head down into a bucket of water. Matsui called off the match in Yoshihiko’s favour when Masada stopped responding.

Each of the wrestlers in the 4 Way Match took on different gimmicks from their usual selves. MAO came out as an Orange Cassidy tribute called Mikan Cassidy, Chris Brookes turned into a police sergeant, HARASHIMA transformed into OBAKSHIMA the horror monster and Keigo Nakamura became a K5000 robot impervious to almost every attack. Sgt. Brookes shooting him with a gun had no effect. What did cause him harm was MAO squirting K5000 with a water gun. Sgt. Brookes sprayed both OBAKSHIMA and K5000 with a fire extinguisher and then snapped a long rubber strap into them. Mikan then lazily laid on top of K5000 for the pinfall.

A retro themed match was held under DRAGONGATE rules because Toru Owashi was acting like the troublesome heel he was back in 2004. Kazuki Hirata also showed up dressed in his debut gear and acting like a rookie all over again. Antonio Honda filled completed the bizarre trio by appearing as his Hulk Hogan tribute gimmick called Pero Pero Oyakata. Their match against a confused DAMNATION T.A turned into a brawl around the venue. KANON didn’t understand why Hirata wasn’t dancing and tried to tempt him with the Hirata GO! glasses. Things went out of hand when Honda stripped down to his underwear and tried to give everyone the Pedigree. When he tried to do it on Matsui, the referee called off the match.

A planned 6-Man Tag Match was turned into a 5 Vs 1 Handicap Match when Poison Sawada JULIE brainwashed Tetsuya Endo’s partners with Snake Magic! JULIE also did it to his own partners so Endo had to fight a snake army all by himself. Endo got his hands on the antidote during the match and soon cured Yuki Iino, Yuya Koroku and Kazuma Sumi. They all spat Poison Mist at JULIE, rendering him helpless so Endo could pin him with the Burning Star Press. Yuni was still brainwashed after the match but Endo got him to take the antidote and return to normal.

The masked dancing master Furitsuke Kamen choreographed a special entrance for Makoto Oishi but Akito interrupted it halfway through. He, Masahiro Takanashi & Ilusion would only let them do it if Oishi’s team could beat them. With some help from Yukio Naya, Yuki Ishida and Kamen himself Oishi was able to beat Ilusion by submission and everyone did the dance together.

The contract signing before the show was for the upcoming KO-D Tag Team Titles match. ShunMao held the titles last year but had to vacate them when Katsumata got injured. When he recovered, MAO wanted to hold off on challenging for the titles again so it could be used as a trump card. He decided to use that trump card after Ueno lost the KO-D Openweight Title so The 37KAMIINA could quickly recover their momentum. MAO considers CDK to be their true rivals, not SCHADENFREUDE International. Brookes understands his opinion and even agrees with it. He admits he & Masada struggled to beat Ueno & To-y over the weekend. But he wants his team to wrestle using their own style unique to DDT no matter if they win or lose. Masada said he wants to defend the titles even if it means he has to crawl onto the next step. ShunMao thinks he still hasn’t evolved enough yet though.

At the end of the show Oishi told everyone he wants a new version of NωA to continue without him. He asked Shunma Katsumata, Yuni & Sumi to form Shin NωA. Yuni & Sumi were both excited by the idea but Katsumata was hesitant to do it. He eventually agreed when Yuni & Sumi told him they both would like to become idols. The three of them sang one of the songs together to close out the show.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2024 IN SHINJUKU – DAY 2” Results

August 30, 2024

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2024 IN SHINJUKU – DAY 2”, 30/08/2024
Shinjuku FACE
419 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Toru Owashi & Yuki Ishida defeated Yuni & Keigo Nakamura when Owashi pinned Nakamura with La Magistral Cradle (8:05).
*Toru Owashi wins Keigo Nakamura’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Shield.
2. Rock ‘N’ Roll 4 Way Death Match: A.YAZAWA defeated Akito, To-y and Kazuma Sumi when YAZAWA pinned Sumi with a Japanese Leg Lock Clutch (12:23).
3. 4 Vs 3 Handicap Match: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON, MJ Paul & Mataro Suzuki defeated Masahiro Takanashi, Soma Takao & Yuya Koroku when KANON pinned Koroku with the Ground Cobra Twist (8:12).
4. The Long Awaited New Series By Hisaya Imabayashi! Kaidan Shin Numabukuro Deathmatch 2: Shunma Katsumata & Jun Akiyama Vs Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi ended in a No Contest (7:50).
5. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes defeated Ilusion with the Praying Mantis Bomb (13:53).
6. Beer Garden Specialty Customer Lottery 8-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Ueno, Yuki Iino & Takeshi Masada defeated MAO, HARASHIMA, Kazuki Hirata & Yukio Naya when Endo pinned Hirata with the Burning Star Press (21:34).

The fan lottery determined the teams for the main event but nobody was told everyone was going to be switching gimmicks too! On one team Tetsuya Endo dressed as HARASHIMA, Yuki Ueno dressed as Takeshi Masada, Yuki Iino dressed as Endo and Masada was dressed as Kazuki Hirata. On the other team MAO was dressed as Yukio Naya, HARASHIMA was dressed as Ueno, Hirata was dressed as Iino and Naya was dressed as MAO. By taking on each other’s costumes they also copied the entrances and attempted to copy the movesets to mixed results. Some got offended at how bad the impersonation of themselves were which caused some more confusion. In the end, Endo channeled HARASHIMA’s Somato and used the move on Hirata before pinning him with the Burning Star Press.

After being rejected several times, Ilusion was given one golden chance to convince Chris Brookes directly that he genuinely wants to join SCHADENFREUDE International. Brookes put him through the wringer to prove it, going as far as to pull Ilusion’s mask apart. The youngster got a replacement mask but that to would get torn open. The match reached a point where it was clear Ilusion would not win but he kept fighting until Brookes pinned him with the Praying Mantis Bomb. After the match Antonio Honda told Ilusion he lost, but he lost the right way. Everyone who is in SCHADENFREUDE belong there not because they are strong but because they have messed up their own lives. Brookes then told Ilusion he deserves to join the group and welcomed him in! Ilusion said he will learn from the other members from this point onwards so he can get strong and become the centre of DDT!

Something completely unforeseen happened in the Shin Numabukuro Deathmatch. Jun Akiyama won it before Hisaya Imabayashi could even have a chance to begin telling his ghost story! The room went dark and Akiyama found himself travelling back in time to his entrance for the match. He won the match with a School Boy a second time only to time travel back to the beginning again. He soon realised this will keep happening until he wins the match in under three minutes using something other than a Roll Up! Time looped again and at the three minute mark Imabayashi told his ghost story, making everyone faint from shock one by one. But when he went to Akiyama it was blocked. Akiyama physically forced Imabayashi to point at himself causing Imabayashi to die from fright! The room went dark again and Akiyama travelled back to his ring entrance once more, doomed to relive this match over and over forever…

The last time DAMNATION T.A swapped out Daisuke Sasaki for Mataro Suzuki worked out well so they brought the video team member back and declared him their new leader! It was all a trick so Sasaki could enter the match halfway through and give his team the 4-on-3 numbers advantage to win.

It was explained that Honda could not wrestle today because he was suffering from love sickness so A.YAZAWA took his place in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match. There was rock music to make the participants dance, drinking music to make them drink beer and even romantic music to get everyone in the mood.

The Light Blue Right To Challenge Shield now belongs to Toru Owashi after he pinned Keigo Nakamura to win the opening match.

At the start of the show Yuki Ishida announced he has left his gig at the sumo agency in Osaka he joined a few months ago to return home to Tokyo. He will now become a full time wrestler for DDT again but decided to leave behind his “Dosukoi” personality. He tried to wrestle his match without it but was told by Owashi that without Dosukoi he has nothing. Ishida ignored the advice and completed the match. However at the end of the show voice actor Tetsu Inada gave him a spirited talk and Ishida admitted he wants to wrestle using Dosukoi spirit after all! Everyone welcomed him back after hearing that revelation.

Antonio Honda is unable to be at tomorrow’s show. Luckily a replacement has already been found. A.YAZAWA takes his place which is convenient because the Rock ‘N’ Roll 4 Way Death Match just so happens to be YAZAWA’s signature match.

The Right To Challenge Shield holders going into the show are Masahiro Takanashi (Blue), KANON (Black), Keigo Nakamura (Light Blue) and Shunma Katsumata (White).

Yoshiko Hasegawa starts out her residency with Tokyo Joshi Pro by teaming with the woman she lost against last weekend. Will things turn out better for her by teaming with Shoko Nakajima instead of fighting her?

Most of the women who went to England are back in Japan. Miyu Yamashita is heading over to America this weekend first for a few more international matches. When she returns she will team with the two teenagers Runa Okubo & Haru Kazashiro.

The other three coming back from England are being thrown together into a 3 Way Match against each other. Raku, Mahiro Kiryu and HIMAWARI will show the fans what they learned from their visit to London.

DDT “NO SPOILERS X BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING IN UENO”, 10/09/2024

1. Makoto Oishi, Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida (w/ Furitsuke Kamen) Vs Masahiro Takanashi, Akito & Ilusion

6. Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ The 37KAMIINA Vs Shin The 37KAMIINA: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs Sauna Oyakata, Keizo Matsuda & Takayuki Ueki

The No Spoiler show is filling up with more wacky ideas with the expectation that nobody going to see the show will spoil it online. A group of wrestlers are claiming to be the new version of The 37KAMIINA and are challenging the originals to a match to prove they are superior. Keizo Matsuda & Takayuki Ueki are familiar enough but Sauna Master is going to be Danshoku Dieno doing some sort of, well, sauna master gimmick.

Pero Pero Master is, or at least in previous apperances was Antonio Honda doing a Hulk Hogan gimmick. Toru Owashi is also going to time travel back to being 20 years younger somehow.

Also on the card are appearances by Poison Sawada JULIE and Furitsuke Kamen.

BASARA “TSUKAMOTO & NAKATSU ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL!”, 11/09/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Fuminori Abe Vs Judomaster
2. Isami Kodaka & Ryuichi Sekine Vs FUMA & Takeru Inoue
3. 4 Way Tag Match: KUBITO & Daichi Kazato Vs SAGAT & Lil’ Kraken Vs Gouma Ryu & Yasu Urano Vs Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga
4. UWA World Tag Team Titles: Kota Sekifuda & Kaji Tomato (c) Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino
5. Hardcore Match: Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Yusaku Ito
6. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Naoki Tanizaki

Earlier this month Aijin Tag challenged Kota Sekifuda & Kaji Tomato for the UWA World Tag Team Titles but had to wait in line because the champions already had a title defence lined up. That was done and dusted at a Big Japan show this week so Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino are now next in line to get a title shot.

DDT “TETSUYA ENDO LOCAL TRIUMPH! DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 TOUR IN SHIROISHI”, 14/09/2024
Miyagi Shiroishi White Cube

3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, Gorgeous Matsuno & Keigo Nakamura Vs HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata
4. Shiroishi Specialty Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo Vs Makoto Oishi

The special homecoming match for Tetsuya Endo will give him a chance to say goodbye to Makoto Oishi in his own personal way.

Gorgeous Matsuno returns so he can form a trio of Tohoku wrestlers with MAO & Keigo Nakamura.

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 TOUR IN SAPPORO – DAY 1”, 15/09/2024
Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza

1. Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino Vs Noriyuki Yoshida & Yuki Ishida
2. Special Single Match: Takeshi Masada Vs Makoro Oishi
3. Special Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & HARASHIMA Vs MAO & Keigo Nakamura
4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul (c) Vs Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y

Both Tomoya and Noriyuki Yoshida will be on next month’s Sapporo weekend shows. The odd thing is Yoshida’s match is already announced for Day 1 but not Tomoya’s…

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 TOUR IN SAPPORO – DAY 2”, 16/09/2024
Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza

1. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul Vs Tomoya, Akito & Kazuki Hirata
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs HARASHIMA, Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi
3. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Yuya Koroku
4. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Danshoku Dieno

… while Tomoya’s match for Day 2 is already booked but not Yoshida’s.

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

1. Special Single Match: Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno
3. Special Single Match: Shunma Katsumata Vs Makoto Oishi

Oishi’s set of goodbye matches continues with a bout against Shunma Katsumata. The two have had a teacher and student kind of relationship over the years.

Aoki Is Now The Champ, The 37KAMIINA Have Chips On Their Shoulder, Wrestle Princess V Heats up

August 27, 2024

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2024 IN SHINJUKU – DAY 2”, 30/08/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Toru Owashi & Yuki Ishida Vs Yuni & Keigo Nakamura
2. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul Vs Toru Owashi, Keigo Nakamura & Yuya Koroku
3. Rock ‘N’ Roll 4 Way Death Match: Akito Vs Antonio Honda Vs To-y Vs Kazuma Sumi
4. The Long Awaited New Series By Hisaya Imabayashi! Kaidan Shin Numabukuro Deathmatch 2: Shunma Katsumata Vs Jun Akiyama Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Makoto Oishi
5. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Ilusion
6. Beer Garden Specialty Customer Lottery 8-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO, HARASHIMA, Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino, Kazuki Hirata, Yukio Naya, Takeshi Masada

Over the weekend Ilusion made more attempts at asking Chris Brookes if he could join SCHADENFREUDE International only to be turned down again. Brookes instead offered Ilusion a singles match between them. See it as Ilusion’s last chance to convince Brookes that he deserves to be part of the unit.

DDT “MEET & GREET & FIGHT SEPTEMBER”, 04/09/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. To-y & Kazuma Sumi Vs Keigo Nakamura & Yuya Koroku
2. 3 Way Match: Takeshi Masada Vs Yuni Vs Ilusion
3. Special Single Match: Yuki Iino Vs Kazuki Hirata
4. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Makoto Oishi

The new KO-D Openweight Champion is Shinya Aoki so he is going to appear in DDT a little more often in the near future. He has been added to Makoto Oishi’s final run of matches in the company.

DDT “TAKESHI MASADA LOCAL TRIUMPH! DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 TOUR IN OSAKA”, 07/09/2024
Osaka Sun Square Sports Center Sakai

1. Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Kazuma Sumi Vs Toru Owashi, Keigo Nakamura & Ilusion
2. HARASHIMA & Akito Vs Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida
3. DAMNATION T.A Vs BURNING!: Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku
4. Special Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Fuminori Abe & Antonio Honda
5. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Makoto Oishi
6. Special Single Match: KANON Vs Yuki Iino
7. Osaka Specialty Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y

Another show in Osaka means Takeshi Masada gets to headline it again as the hometown boy. But Yuki Ueno and Yuni are Osaka hometown boys too!

A singles match between KANON and Yuki Iino has the added element of KANON’s Right To Challenge Shield being up for grabs if it hasn’t been used yet. You can afford to take tag losses here and there when you don’t take the fall but when it’s time for singles matches, holders like KANON will need to be more careful.

One of Oishi’s final singles matches in DDT will be against Jun Akiyama! The two of them have gotten along as part of D.O.A and the unit isn’t planning on going away anytime soon.

A preview for the next DDT Universal Title defence is happening the day before the match takes place. MAO and Fuminori Abe will get to test each other out in a tag bout around 24 hours before they fight over the title.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALWAYS BE A CHALLENGER ’24”, 08/09/2024
Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall

1. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Arisu Endo

In more hometown talk Arisu Endo made it her goal to become a double champion before Tokyo Joshi Pro returns to Aizuwakamatsu. She decided to challenge Yuki Arai for the International Princess Title as part of her plan. Endo was part of Arai’s debut match three years ago and the two have become good friends ever since. Even though Arai is from Kyoto, she considers Nagoya as her second home because of SKE48’s connections to the area so she will need to utilise her own home field advantage in order to stop Endo from powering up Aizuwakamatsu!

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA 2024”, 08/09/2024
Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall

1. Takeshi Masada & Yuki Ishida Vs Keigo Nakamura & Ilusion
2. Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda Vs Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata
3. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul Vs Yuki Iino, Yuya Koroku & Kazuma Sumi
4. Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Akito
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kota Ibushi, Shuji Ishikawa & Danshoku Dieno Vs HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Michael Nakazawa
6. Special Single Match: Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami Vs Yukio Naya
7. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Fuminori Abe
8. KO-D Openweight Title: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo

There is now a sudden shift in direction for the KO-D Title scene coming out of the weekend. Aoki is now the champion and has visions of revitalizing the championship’s value by targeting Katsuhiko Nakajima! In the leadup to Aoki’s title win he said he would like to unify the KO-D Title with the UWF World Title that is currently being used in GLEAT. Nakajima just so happens to be the champion and him knocking out Tetsuya Endo in 2022 is a subject that Aoki brought on Sunday. He does not understand why nobody from DDT ever wanted to get revenge on Nakajima for the damage he did to the company’s reputation. Endo has his reasons for being the first person to challenge Aoki. Nakajima was not meant to be top of that list but since Aoki brought it up, Endo believes it should be him who gets that revenge as champion and not Aoki.

A lot of potential challengers for the KO-D Title are waiting nearby and it’s not just the people who hold the Right To Challenge Shields. The feud between Yukio Naya and Ryuichi Kawakami could launch the winner into a future title shot. Kawakami thinks it will be easy to get one after he destroys Naya once and for all. The sneak attacks and cheating were already getting Naya mad but the thought of Kawakami taking the KO-D Title so lightly has only fired him up even more.

DDT “NO SPOILERS X BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING IN UENO”, 10/09/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Takeshi Masada Vs Yoshihiko
2. Special 4 Way Match: Someone Who Looks Like MAO Vs Someone Who Looks Like Chris Brookes Vs Someone Who Looks Like HARASHIMA Vs Someone Who Looks Like Keigo Nakamura

DDT are holding another event where attendees are encouraged not to post anything about what happened at the show on social media until after midnight. It is doubling up as a Beer Garden show too so you know a bunch of crazy things will happen. The 4 Way Match for example sounds like it will feature wrestlers pretending to be MAO, Brookes, HARASHIMA and Keigo Nakamura fighting each other. Masada has to fight Yoshihiko by himself too.

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 TOUR IN SAPPORO – DAY 1”, 15/09/2024
Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul (c) Vs Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y

The 37KAMIINA were quick to tell fans that they are not going to let Ueno losing the KO-D Title stop their momentum. The unit threw out challenges for two championship matches next month. Shunma Katsumata is part of both as he might become a triple champion when all is said and done. First Ueno, Katsumata & To-y challenge DAMNATION T.A for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles.

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 TOUR IN SHINJUKU”, 20/09/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada (c) Vs MAO & Shunma Katsumata

Later in the week ShunMao face Brookes & Masada for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Both MAO & Katsumata believe the tag titles have not seen the best of days ever since they had to vacate them last year. They think they were in the middle of having the best title reign ever until it had to be cut short when Katsumata broke his ankle. ShunMao now want to be the champions again so they can start a new era for the belts. They also seem to have an axe to grind over Kota Ibushi being welcomed back into DDT by the older sections of the fanbase while they’ve been working so hard to attract an audience.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS V”, 22/09/2024
Chiba Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall

1. Xia Zhao & Mizuki Vs Yuki Kamifuku & VENY
2. Aja Kong, Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku Vs X, X & X
3. Emi Sakura Vs Shoko Nakajima
4. Princess Tag Team Titles: Suzume & Arisu Endo (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh
5. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Ryo Mizunami

Princess Aniki is now aiming for TJPW’s top championship! After winning the Tokyo Princess Cup on Sunday, Ryo Mizunami didn’t waste any time in challenging Miu Watanabe for the Princess Of Princess Title. Mizunami became the first outsider to win a TJPW tournament, now she can become the first to win the Princess Title too!

A big match for Shoko Nakajima on the show pits her against Emi Sakura. It will be the first time the two will face each other in the ring but Nakajima has learned a lot from Sakura going all the way back to the early years of her wrestling career.

The happy go lucky tag team of Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku now adds a new friend to make them even happier. Which three poor souls are getting chosen to fight those two and Aja Kong? They might be in luck because SKE48’s Shiori Aoki returns to officiate another match. She might care more about doing carthweels than protecting the team from the monsters though.

Former WWE wrestler Xia Zhao is coming to TJPW so she can wrestle in Japan for the first time ever. Previously known as Xia Li, Zhao has only just begun taking wrestling bookings again after getting released from WWE back in April. Her match with Mizuki here will also reunite Yuki Kamifuku & VENY as a team. VENYU hadn’t teamed together since last summer.

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

1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Kaisei Takeshi Vs Chris Brookes, Takeshi Masada & Masahiro Takanashi

The return of Kaisei Takeshi to DDT is such a big deal the show is going to air live on ABEMA for free.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2024 IN SHINJUKU – DAY 1” Results

August 15, 2024

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2024 IN SHINJUKU – DAY 1”, 15/08/2024
Shinjuku FACE
460 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. 4 Vs 3 Handicap Match: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON, MJ Paul & Mataro Suzuki defeated Toru Owashi, To-y & Keigo Nakamura when KANON pinned To-y with the Ground Cobra Twist (11:21).
2. Blindfold Hidden Breast Tag Team Death Match: Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda defeated Super Sasadango Machine & Kazuma Sumi when Brookes stripped off Sumi’s bra (14:34).
3. International Special Single Match: Danhausen defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Danhausen Special (9:14).
4. Special 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Yukio Naya defeated Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata and Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku when Oishi pinned Koroku after the Mad Max from MAO & Katsumata (10:06).
*Makoto Oishi wins Yuya Koroku’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Shield.
5. Drunk Match: Masahiro Takanashi defeated HARASHIMA with the Yokoiri Style Cradle (12:41).
*Masahiro Takanashi wins HARASHIMA’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Shield.
6. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – International Special Tag Match ~ Sandman Match: Joey Janela & Takeshi Masada defeated Danshoku Dieno (c) & Effy when Janela pinned Dieno with the Death Valley Driver onto a pile of Cans (15:47).
*Joey Janela becomes the 1,663rd champion.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Effy defeated Joey Janela (c) with a School Boy (9:15 pm).
*Effy becomes the 1,664th champion.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Danshoku Dieno defeated Effy (c) with a School Boy (9:21 pm).
*Danshoku Dieno becomes the 1,665th champion.

Never let the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title come between partners. It will not end well. This year’s summer beer garden shows are featuring several wrestlers from the GCW tour who stuck around in Japan for a few more days (most of the GCW crew had to leave the country earlier than planned because an incoming typhoon was disrupting flights). In the main event of today’s show Danshoku Dieno & Effy wanted to be partners instead of opponents so the 4 Way Match was changed into a tag match. Takeshi Masada took the brunt of Dieno & Effy’s attacks but it was Joey Janela who ended up winning the match and becoming the Iron Man Champion.

After the match Masada tried to turn on Janela to take the title from him but failed. Effy however succeeded in rolling up Janela from behind to become the new champion. Then backstage Dieno and Effy got into an argument about the title that led to them heading back over to ringside while the audience were leaving the venue. Masada again tried to sneak attack the champ and again failed. But that distraction allowed Dieno to pin Effy with a Low Blow and run off as the Iron Man Champion once more. Dieno wants the title in order to become the longest champion in the belt’s history. Today his plan was reset to zero days but that only means his year long title reign starts now!

The Right To Challenge Shields are already switching hands a lot and it’s only been one week. Masahiro Takanashi won the Blue Shield from HARASHIMA in a match where the rules were both got to drink until they were drunk. The two of them became so inebriated that they needed help to wrestle. Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda were on Takanashi’s side while HARASHIMA unexpectedly had KUDO coming to his aid! Takanashi was able to beat HARASHIMA by countering the Somato into a Cradle. He later made hints towards using the Shield to get a DDT Universal Title shot because he had to watch while MAO beat other members of SCHADENFREUDE International one after the other.

Yuya Koroku only just won the White Shield and he has already lost it. That prize now belongs to Makoto Oishi when he scored the pin in a 3 Way Trios Match. Shunma Katsumata & MAO did the damage to Koroku but they were both held back by Jun Akiyama & Yukio Naya so Oishi could steal the pinfall. We then had a repeat of the current Shield holders all publicly telling everyone they are not going to cash in just yet. Honda was the exception but he once again tripped over the ropes and injured his knee so had to delay cashing in his shot on Yuki Ueno. Oishi, who will be leaving DDT in October believes it is fate for him to win a Shield. He wants to use it at a time that will set off fireworks. Perhaps he will wait until his final show as a DDT wrestler.

It hasn’t been a good month for BURNING. They just lost the KO-D Tag Team Titles and now they no longer have a RTC shield. Yuki Iino is trying to look on the bright side though and came up with the idea of challenging DAMNATION T.A for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. It should work out for them because he, Tetsuya Endo and Koroku no longer have anything to lose.

Kazuki Hirata is a germaphobe so the worst thing Danhausen could do to him was pour a jar of teeth into his mouth and then kick him in the face. Danhausen absolutely did that and won the match.

Everyone in Match #3 being blindfolded caused some obvious problems. They spent a lot of the match reaching out into thin air trying to find one another. They even all ended up going outside and Super Sasadango Machine mistakenly thought a male fan in the front row was one of his opponents. Despite the handicap, Brookes was eventually able to give Kazuma Sumi the Praying Mantis Bomb and stripped him of his bra to win along with Honda.

Daisuke Sasaki spent all day drinking and was too drunk to wrestle so DAMNATION T.A announced they added a new member to their team. It was Mataro Suzuki from DDT’s video crew. He was kicked out of the team after they won their match.

TJPW’s Busy Weekend, Aoki Angry At DDT, Wedding Matches

August 14, 2024

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2024 IN SHINJUKU – DAY 1”, 15/08/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul Vs Toru Owashi, To-y & Keigo Nakamura
2. Blindfold Hidden Breast 4 Way Match: Chris Brookes Vs Antonio Honda Vs Super Sasadango Machine Vs Kazuma Sumi
3. International Special Single Match: Danhausen Vs Kazuki Hirata
4. Special 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku Vs Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Yukio Naya
5. Drunk Match: HARASHIMA Vs Masahiro Takanashi
6. International Special Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno & Effy Vs Joey Janela & Takeshi Masada

After Danshoku Dieno and Effy bonded so well during their match at the DDT/GCW show, the two now want to team up rather than fight each other again. The 4 Way Match they are meant to be part of tomorrow will now be a tag match. Joey Janela & Takeshi Masada will now make up the other team.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SHOKO NAKAJIMA VERSION3 ~NIIGATA HOMECOMING EVENT~”, 18/08/2024
Niigata Dúo CEREZO

1. Moka Miyamoto Vs Kira Summer
2. Arisu Endo Vs Chika Nanase
3. Mizuki & Uta Takami Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
4. Yuki Aino, Runa Okubo & Haru Kazashiro Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Kaya Toribami
5. Rika Tatsumi, Toga & Shino Suzuki Vs Zara Zakher, Wakana Uehara & HIMAWARI
6. Miyu Yamashita & Shoko Nakajima 11th Anniversary Special Tag Match: Miu Watanabe & Suzume Vs Miyu Yamashita & Shoko Nakajima

The reason why Zara Zakher, Wakana Uehara & HIMAWARI are on the same team is because they all had their professional debut matches in January 2023. HIMAWARI actually debuted in Actwres girl’Z a few months earlier but that company doesn’t like to call themselves pro wrestling and everyone over there likes to keep that kayfabe going. Meanwhile in another match Yuki Aino teams with the young duo that are nicknamed HaruRuna.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

Today Tokyo Sports reported on a training session Shinya Aoki held with El Lindaman from GLEAT. Aoki lost his temper during the interview because he isn’t happy about DDT booking Kota Ibushi’s return to the company on the undercard. He believes that is a clear sign from Sanshiro Takagi that the main event is too weak of a draw by itself. Aoki is also annoyed that Yuki Ueno doesn’t seem to be angry about it like he is. Another comment Aoki made is his plan to have a unification match if he becomes the KO-D Openweight Champion. He wants to unify the title with GLEAT’s UWF World Title. Lindaman will be one of the upcoming challengers for the title that is currently held by Katsuhiko Nakajima. Aoki even offered to be in Lindaman’s corner when the title match happens but Lindaman politely declined because Aoki hanging around over there will only cause trouble.

3. Jun Akiyama & Yukio Naya Vs Tetsuya Endo & Keigo Nakamura
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Kazuma Sumi

I wonder if the four matches can count towards the marriage traditions of including something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue? I’d look into it myself but calling Jun Akiyama old will already set me off on the wrong foot. Can’t even include the blue Right To Challenge Shield because HARASHIMA has that and he’s wrestling on the later show.
