October 27, 2024

DDT “FUKUSHIMA ADATARA ONSEN HOTEL PARADISE HILLS BOX OFFICE”, 27/10/2024
Fukushima Adatara Onsen Hotel Paradise Hills Sakura Campground Special Venue
208 Fans

1. Yukio Naya defeated Keigo Nakamura with a Choke Slam (8:30).
2. MJ Paul defeated Yuki Ishida with the Reverse Splash (7:05).
3. Diswear Rule: Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata defeated To-y & Kazuma Sumi when Hirata pushed Sumi out of the ring (10:44).
4. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON, Demus & Ilusion defeated Yuki Iino, Akito, Yuni & Yuya Koroku when Sasaki pinned Akito with the Sasaki Hurricanrana (11:01).
5. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada defeated Tetsuya Endo & Makoto Oishi when Brookes pinned Oishi with the Praying Mantis Bomb (13:55).
6. Sakura Campground Will Be Used In Its Entirety! Paradise-Style Falls Count Anywhere 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata defeated Jun Akiyama, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda when MAO pinned Honda after the Our Mad Max onto the pile of Chairs (22:41).

The Falls Count Anywhere Match used a van as an important weapon. MAO drove it towards the ring but Antonio Honda stood in its path to make MAO step on the brakes. Honda approached the driver’s seat, poke MAO in the eyes with Gongitsune, got him out of the van and then drove it into Shunma Katsumata! However The 37KAMIINA were able to recover and together they slammed Honda onto a pile of chairs with the Our Mad Max as performed from the roof of the van for the win. MAO said that’s the kind of match he wants to defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles in. Yuki Ueno however would prefer doing Falls Count Anywhere matches in a sauna. Honda has a similar idea in mind because he would like to bring HARASHIMA & Jun Akiyama with him to a hot spring some day.

Gorgeous Matsuno was in attendance to promote his “GORGEOUS NIGHT” show in Fukushima on 24th November. He sang a song for the audience and also got involved in a few SCHADENFREUDE International spots during Match #5.

The Diswear Rule in Match #3 is simply to knock one of your opponents out of the ring to win.

The mayor of Nihonmatsu City gave a speech at the start of the show and was even encouraged to participate in the opening match when Keigo Nakamura held Yukio Naya in place for him to throw Sumo Slaps at. When he was done and returned to his front row seat Naya Body Slammed Nakamura to the ground right in front of him.

6. Miu Watanabe, Raku & Shino Suzuki Vs Mizuki, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro
7. Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu

Gunma is Mahiro Kiryu’s territory so she gets the main event spot. She is also teaming with Yuki Kamifuku which means Toyo Mates are back together for the first time in a long while. The Karate Tag pair of Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto will be their opponents.

DDT/DEFY “DDT IN UTERO”, 09/11/2024
Washington Hall, Seattle, Washington, USA

1. Danshoku Dieno Vs Randy Myers
2. Gringo Loco Vs Yuni
3. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Artemis Spencer Vs Gurv Shira & Harv Shira

5. DDT Universal Title – 3 Way Match: MAO (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita Vs X
6. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kohei Kinoshita

Seattle is where MAO will have his first defence of his latest DDT Universal Title reign. It’s going to be a 3 Way Match and Yamashita is one of the opponents, making it her first time she will be properly fighting for a DDT championship (other than the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title). The other opponent is a mystery for now.

One of the other new matches on the show is on the DEFY end of things. Cody Chhun & Guillermo Rosas are known together as C4 and they are the current DEFY Tag Team Champions. One of the other regular teams is Eddie Pearl & Ricky Gibson, aka Midnight Heat. The third team have previously been opponents against each other. Bryan Keith was somebody that Shota faced during one of his American excursions two years ago.

Marina Shafir will be on the show. If Kazuki Hirata isn’t her opponent then what are we doing here (I’m predicting Yoshihiko is in the 3 Way Match)?

Around a dozen wrestlers from Tokyo Joshi Pro will be in Seattle for the DEFY weekend in November. Meanwhile everyone else left behind in Japan will be running a TJPW show built around a team challenge with a luxurious prize on the line. Raku and Pom Harajuku will each captain a team and will draft their members out of a pool of 16 wrestlers (14 from TJPW plus 2 guests). The teams will be drafted this Sunday before that day’s show begins.

1. Makoto Oishi Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Jun Akiyama & HARASHIMA Vs Keigo Nakamura & Yuki Ishida
3. Special Tag Match: MAO & Yuki Ueno Vs Minoru Suzuki & Chris Brookes

Imagine coming home to wrestle in front of your friends, family and adoring fans but Minoru Suzuki is also there and he wants to kill you. That will keep MAO on his toes.

BJW “KING OF DEATHMATCH WORLD GP TOURNAMENT”, 31/12/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

The annual New Year’s Eve show that Big Japan, DDT and others have held together for almost two decades is not going ahead this year. Instead of doing a Shuffle Tag Tournament with DDT, Big Japan will instead hold their own one night international death match tournament. BJW’s president Eiji Tosaka wants to show the power of Japan’s death matches to the world especially since next year will be the company’s 30th Anniversary. He asked DDT for their blessing and they agreed to let him do this show at Korakuen Hall instead of the usual Shuffle Tag Tournament.

It’s a disappointing decision but also one I understand. DDT will be running Sumo Hall a few days before New Year’s Eve so that will be their priority for the end of 2024. Also the New Year’s Eve show itself has been dwindling in popularity and interest over the last few years, particularly coming out of the covid pandemic where the show can’t even be held close to midnight anymore. So while I will miss the Shuffle Tag Tournament, the truth is it’s time to try something different. Big Japan’s idea kind of reminds me of the annual “BLOOD X’MAS” shows that FREEDOMS and Jun Kasai both produce every Christmas. Can they reach the same heights though? If there are any DDT wrestlers entering the tournament (Shunma Katsumata would be the likely choice) I will post updates and the show results when they happen. If not then at least that’s less stuff for me to worry about on New Year’s Eve.

Isami Kodaka already had one crack at winning the UWA World Tag Team Titles from Aijin Tag and failed. He convinced them to give him another go because this time he has an even more powerful tag partner, Hideyoshi Kamitani from Big Japan. Yesterday Kamitani became the first wrestler ever to hold both the BJW Strong World Heavyweight Title and the BJW Death Match Heavyweight Title at the same time so he’s now coming into the match as Big Japan’s Double Crown champ.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO/DEFY “TJPW BRIGHT EYES”, 09/11/2024
Washington Hall, Seattle, Washington, USA

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Vs Vert Vixen & Nicole Matthews

When 121000000 won the Princess Tag Team Titles the first time they lost it in America on their first defence. In order to make sure the second reign will succeed they are going to try this scenario again. This time instead of facing The Magical Sugar Rabbits in Los Angeles they are going to fight Vert Vixen & Nicole Matthews in Seattle. In the minds of the champions Vixen & Matthews are a makeshift team being put together to challenge them. However in DEFY they are two rivals attempting to put aside their differences in order to both become champions again.

Zara Zakher has been added to the show. Speaking of Zakher…

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE MOUNTAIN TOP 2024”, 16/11/2024

3. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Zara Zakher

… she’s also returning to Tokyo Joshi Pro for another tour of Japan in November! She eliminated Miu Watanabe from the Tokyo Princess Cup during the summer so it’s been decided she will get a Princess Of Princess Title shot during this tour. It will also be the first time in five years when the title will be defended in Osaka. The last time that happened was Shoko Nakajima defending the belt against Mizuki back in September 2019.
