GANBARE☆PRO “GROUNDSLAM 15TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY”, 04/02/2024
Kanagawa YOKOHAMA COAST GARAGE+

1. Soma Takao Vs Takuya Wada
2. Hartley Jackson & Tyson Maeguchi Vs Mizuki Watase & Munetatsu Nakamura
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shuichiro Katsumura, Ken Ohka & Yuni Vs Keisuke Ishii, Yumehito Imanari & Ilusion

The GROUNDSLAM gym ran by Shuichiro Katsumura is celebrating being in business for 15 years with their own event filled with exhibition fights and a band performance. Ganbare☆Pro will provide a few wrestling matches for the event on the day.

DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 3 ~TOTONOI TO YOU~”, 14/02/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Hideki Okatani, Yuni & Ilusion Vs Takeshi Masada, Kazuma Sumi & Rukiya
2. ~Kazuki Hirata’s Sauna Room?~: Kazuki Hirata Vs Makoto Oishi Vs Kazusada Higuchi Vs Yukio Naya
3. ~Toy Kojima’s Sauna Room~: Toy Kojima Vs Masato Tanaka
4. ~Shunma Katsumata’s Sauna Room~: Shunma Katsumata Vs Kuroshio TOKYO Japan
5. ~Mao Inoue’s Sauna Room~: MAO Vs Chris Brookes
6. ~Yuki Ueno’s Sauna Room~: Yuki Ueno Vs Danshoku Dieno

Every member of The 37KAMIINA has booked their own match for the unit’s next self-produced show. Yuki Ueno is facing Danshoku Dieno in the main event, MAO gets to fight Chris Brookes again, Shunma Katsumata is inviting Kuroshio TOKYO Japan over and Toy Kojima’s return match from injury will be against Masato Tanaka! Even Kazuki Hirata gets a match for himself as he tries to gain membership into the group. Having to fight in a free-for-all against Makoto Oishi, Kazusada Higuchi and Yukio Naya suggests he may not have had a say in what his match would be.

GANBARE☆PRO “GANPRO 2024 DESIRE”, 23/02/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. EVE International Title: Yuu (c) Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa
2. Yuna Manase Return Match: Yuna Manase Vs X
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Shuichiro Katsumura (c) Vs Takuya Wada

It has not been confirmed yet but Yuna Manase has challenged Sayaka Unagi to a Mixed Tag Match for Manase’s return to the ring. Manase already has already chosen her tag partner and wants to see who Unagi will find. The two women fought each other at the first “WRESTLE SEKIGAHARA” in 2022. Unagi won that match and Manase holds no grudge over it. In fact she made it publicly known that Unagi was often one of the first people to get in touch with her for almost every step of the way in her recovery process. Their friendship is why Unagi was always going to be Manase’s opponent for her first match back.

A big title challenge is coming up for Yoshiko Hasegawa. She has teamed with and fought against Yuu over in Ganbare☆Joshi recently and the EVE International Title that Yuu carries around has caught her eye. This will be her first championship match. Hasegawa had wanted it to happen at the next GanJo show on 12th February but Yuu is already booked for Sendai Girls that day. So the match will take place in GanPro a little later on the 23rd instead.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2024 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 23/02/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi, Antonio Honda, Takeshi Masada & Mecha Mummy (c) Vs Maya Yukihi, Ram Kaichow, Rina Yamashita, Sanshiro Takagi & Akito

During the week Maya Yukihi discovered the existence of the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles and wanted to fight for the belts with other members of Rebel X Enemy. The group normally consists of four members but Maika Ozaki is unavailable so Yukihi needed to find two more people to team with herself, Ram Kaichow & Rina Yamashita. Luckily for her the DDT management are stepping in to help out. Sanshiro Takagi & Akito have agreed to join the challenger team and since Kaichow is also sometimes nicknamed “Chairman” the alliance has been named Executive X Enemy. Meanwhile the champion team is subbing in Chris Brookes for Takayuki Ueki. As long as at least three members of the champion team are in the match the title shot can go ahead.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’24”, 31/03/2024
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

Masha Slamovich has been added to the show.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO WINNING SHOT ’24” Results

January 16, 2024

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO WINNING SHOT ’24”, 16/01/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
94 Fans

1. Kaho Kobayashi & Itsuki Aoki defeated Alex Lee & Riara when Aoki submitted Riara with the Chickenwing Face Lock (13:14).
2. Ice Ribbon Offer Match: Ibuki Hoshi & Kaho Matsushita defeated Arisa Shinose & Tsukina Umino when Matsushita pinned Shinose with the Modified Blockbuster Hold (14:36).
3. SAKI defeated Banny Oikawa with the Kentucky Bomb (13:48).
4. Yuu & Yoshiko Hasegawa defeated Sumire Natsu & YuuRI when Hasegawa pinned YuuRI with the Diving Double Knee Attack (18:05).

Look at the momentum Yoshiko Hasegawa has been getting lately. She was on the winning team in a Ganbare☆Joshi main event for the second time in a row and this time she scored the pinfall. Now granted, a lot of that was because of Yuu running over both Sumire Natsu & YuuRI with a single Cross Body and then hitting a Running Cannonball at YuuRI in the corner. Hasegawa finished off what was left by hitting YuuRI with the Diving Double Knee Attack.

After the match Yuu suggested that she and Hasegawa continue teaming together from now on. However Hasegawa is feeling good with the momentum she’s been building and she remembers Yuu showing off the EVE International Title belt to her at the last GanJo show. Nothing more needed to be said because the sight of that belt makes Hasegawa think Yuu wants to fight her in a title match! Yuu likes the idea and accepted the challenge. The next GanJo show will be on 12th Feburary but Yuu is already booked for an important Sendai Girls event that same day. The two will have to agree on another date but the title match will happen somewhere soon.

During the show’s opening announcements Yuna Manase gave an update for her return match from injury on 23rd February. There is a certain opponent she has in mind for the match. It is somebody who quickly got in touch with her while she was injured and helped collaborate merchandise so Manase could still make money while being away from the ring. This person was also among the first to contact Manase after she announced her plans to return. It’s Sayaka Unagi! Later backstage Manase pointed out her return match will be on a regular Ganbare☆Pro show and she would like to get back to wrestling in mixed tag matches. So her challenge to Unagi is to go find a male tag partner because Manase already has one and they’re going to have a mixed tag match together!

1. Special 10-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Akito, Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Rukiya Vs HARASHIMA, Tomoya, Antonio Honda, Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yusuke Okada Vs Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & Bryan Keith (w/ MJ Paul)

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Yukio Naya

It is on short notice but we are only getting a few more Yukio Sakaguchi matches until he retires next month. One of his requests is to have a singles match against Hideki Okatani. Now that Eruption has ended Sakaguchi wants to see for himself just how much Okatani has progressed as he starts the next chapter of his career.

Kojima’s injury has led to Shinichiro Kawamatsu getting booked for his first wrestling match of the year.

2. Nagano Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Toru Owashi & Yoshihiko Vs Danshoku Dieno, Makoto Oishi & Tetsuya Endo

Another match being specially put together for Sakaguchi is a tag match involving some of his favorite people to wrestle with. He and Kazusada Higuchi always hit hard as tag partners and opponents. Antonio Honda and Kazuki Hirata are at the opposite end of the scale. Their comedy antics always made Sakaguchi laugh.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2024 TOUR IN SHINJUKU”, 07/02/2024

D.O.A Vs Another D.O.A, Takechi Is A Draw, Gaisenzakura Pro Wrestling

January 9, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 ~MIZUKI’S HOMETOWN IS KOBE!~”, 13/01/2024
Kobe Art Center

1. Moka Miyamoto Vs Haru Kazashiro
2. Raku Vs Shino Suzuki
3. Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Kaya Toribami & Toga
4. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Mahiro Kiryu & HIMAWARI
5. Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara
6. Miyu Yamashita, Mizuki & Nao Kakuta Vs Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku

An emergency decision was made by Tokyo Joshi Pro to book Ryo Mizunami for this Saturday’s show. There should be more appearances to come for her while she holds the Princess Tag Team Titles with Yuki Aino.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 ~YUKI’S HOMETOWN IS OKAYAMA!~”, 14/01/2024
Okayama Convention Center Event Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao Vs Kaya Toribami Vs Shino Suzuki
2. Nao Kakuta Vs Toga
3. Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro
4. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Mizuki & HIMAWARI
5. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe Vs Suzume & Wakana Uehara
6. Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto Vs Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino

Sadly Mizunami will not be at the show in Aino’s hometown the next day.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2024”, 28/01/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. MAO Birthday Commemorative Match: MAO & TAKA Michinoku Vs X & X
2. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Naruki Doi
3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles – DEAD OR ALIVE Contra DEAD OR ALIVE: Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi (c) Vs Hikaru Sato, Kazusada Higuchi & Ryo Kawamura
4. DDT Extreme Title: Kazuki Hirata (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Yukio Naya

I’m starting to think D.O.A coming up with that name for themselves was a bad idea. The phrase “Dead Or Alive” is so common that there are plenty of wrestlers out there who claim they used it first. After the unit dealt with Bodyguard’s complaints they then found out Hikaru Sato is upset with them because he thinks they stole his catchphrase. Sato sent Kazusada Higuchi to tell them they should defend both the name and the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles against them. Sato & Higuchi will be joined by Ryo Kawamura. The previous times Kawamura has appeared in DDT he’s been using different Sylvester Stallone gimmicks (Rocky Kawamura, Rambo Kawamura, Rocky Kawamura II, etc). He might be coming back just as himself this time.

The birthday match for MAO is a special one because he gets to team with TAKA Michinoku for the first time ever! Michinoku has been a big influence for him over the years and has inspired a lot of his moveset.

GANBARE☆PRO “GANPRO 2024 DESIRE”, 23/02/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Yuna Manase Return Match: Yuna Manase Vs X
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Shuichiro Katsumura (c) Vs Takuya Wada

The new king of Ganbare☆Pro has decided to defend the Spirit Of Ganbare Title against his own tag team partner. Over the weekend Shuichiro Katsumura defended both of his championships, including the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles he holds with Takuya Wada. With nobody stepping up to challenge him for either title Katsumura suggested he and Wada fight each other while they wait for new opponents to emerge. The title match will happen in Katsumura’s hometown of Yokohama.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2024”, 25/02/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Kaisei Takechi Debut Match: Kaisei Takechi Vs X

Currently all tickets for this show has sold out so DDT will be adding additional seating to go on sale later this week. That’s how much of a hot ticket Kaisei Takechi’s debut match is. Takechi has a black belt in Judo and has been coached by Yuki Ueno in training. For that reason Takechi would like to team with Ueno for his first match. The 25 year old also wants to face opponents who are in the same age range as him because competition within the young generation is going to liven up the wrestling world. He cannot commit to a full match schedule due to his work with THE RAMPAGE but he would like to wrestle more after his debut. He currently weighs 77kg but feels his body as it is now is only built for dancing. So he is bulking up and aims to weigh in at 85kg for the match. Takechi is also trying to figure out what wrestling move he wants to use as his signature. When he dances he often raises his right fist into the air and shouts “THE RAMPAGE” so he wants to come up with something that will follow that.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’24”, 31/03/2024
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

The main event for Sumo Hall is a rematch from the Tokyo Princess Cup 2022 Semi Final. Miu Watanabe defeated Miyu Yamashita in what has been their last singles match together until now. Next time will be in the main event of Sumo Hall for the Princess Of Princess Title!

BASARA/TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GAISEN SAKURA PRO WRESTLING”, 14/04/2024
Okayama Shinjo Village Outdoor Ring

A free outdoor pro wrestling show is being put together by Ryuichi Sekine and Nodoka Tenma in a little village found on the northwest side of Okayama. The couple run a farm together in Shinjo Village and want people to get to know the area better. So they have come up with Gaisen Sakura Pro Wrestling an event built around agriculture, food and wrestling. The wrestling portion of the event will be split into two parts. One part will be a men’s wrestling show featuring talent from BASARA. The other part with be a women’s show with TJPW involved. If the event is a success then the plan will be to make it an annual tradition held every April when the cherry blossoms are in bloom.

GANBARE☆PRO “GANPRO 2024 ROSIER” Results

January 6, 2024

GANBARE☆PRO “GANPRO 2024 ROSIER”, 06/01/2024
Osaka 176BOX
147 Fans

1. Keisuke Ishii & Shota defeated Yuni & Ilusion when Ishii pinned Ilusion with the Double Arm Driver (9:39).
2. Legendary Hostess Vs The Toughest Girl In Osaka: Momoka Hanazono defeated Riara with an Inside Cradle (6:43).
3. Banny Oikawa & YuuRI defeated HARUKAZE & Yoshiko Hasegawa when YuuRI pinned Hasegawa with a Rotating Leg Hold (10:43).
4. Special Single Match: Tsuyoshi Okada defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with an Ankle Lock (9:08).
5. Yumehito Imanari & Tyson Maeguchi defeated Soma Takao & Mizuki Watase when Maeguchi pinned Watase with the I’ll Be Happy To Help You (18:14).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shuichiro Katsumura & Takuya Wada (c) defeated HARASHIMA & Ken Ohka when Wada submitted Ohka with the Twister (20:15).
*V4 for GROUND ABSOLUTE.

For the second time this week Shuichiro Katsumura has successfully defended a championship against Ken Ohka. This time it was the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles on the line with GROUND ABSOLUTE facing Ohka & HARASHIMA. Ohka was able to hit the Shin Flame Spear but was too beaten up at that point to make the pin in time. Takuya Wada took advantage by giving Ohka a Dragon Suplex and then tangling him into a Twister submission for the victory. Afterwards Katsumura asked if there were any more challengers for him and Wada? If there is not then perhaps GROUND ABSOLUTE will fight each other for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title!

Ohka admitted he and HARASHIMA probably should not have challenged for the SOG Tag Titles because they haven’t won a tag match together since 2015. However HARASHIMA said the match came into existence because of Ohka’s passion. He has a special place in his heart for Ohka so he hopes one day they will win a tag team championship together.

The diagnosis was for her to rest and get medical treatment. That means she has to pull out of her upcoming matches both in Japan and abroad. The timetable for her return will depend on her doctor’s decision during her recovery. The Battle Royal tomorrow will now be between the five remaining participants.

GANBARE☆PRO “2024 GANBARE☆THE FIGHT BEGINS” Results

January 4, 2024

GANBARE☆PRO “2024 GANBARE☆THE FIGHT BEGINS”, 04/01/2024
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
157 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaho Matsushita defeated YuuRI & Riara wheb Hasegawa submitted Riara with a Muffler Hold (8:26).
2. Hartley Jackson & HARUKAZE defeated Shigehiro Irie & Banny Oikawa when HARUKAZE pinned Oikawa with the Flame Spear (13:28).
3. New Year Special 3 Way Match: Yuni defeated Munetatsu Nakamura and Ilusion when Yuni pinned Nakamura with the Phoenix Splash (12:48).
4. GanPro New Year Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shota, Soma Takao & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Keisuke Ishii, Yumehito Imanari & Mizuki Watase when Tominaga pinned Ishii with the Moonsault Press (12:18).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Shuichiro Katsumura (c) defeated Ken Ohka with the Triple Three 3 Lock (19:37).
*V1 for Shuichiro Katsumura.

In the first of two title matches this week between Shuichiro Katsumura and Ken Ohka, Katsumura has not lost any gold yet. He successfully defended the Spirit Of Ganbare Title against Ohka by using the Ninja Choke as a counter to the Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Ohka was able to hit the Brainbuster but it was not enough to break the Ninja Choke. Katsumura held onto the move and switched over to the Triple Three 3 Lock to make Ohka submit. After the match Katsumura made a comment about the fans coming to watch wrestling here instead of at the Tokyo Dome today. He encouraged the fans to keep smiling and make other people happy. Ohka admitted he feels embarrassed because he thought he was going to win today and go on to surpass Shohei Ohtani. How can he do that now that he lost? But if Katsumura told him to laugh and keep smiling he will do so. Especially since he is fighting him in another championship match this weekend, this time for the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Titles.

A 3 Way Match for young wrestlers was a reunion for Yuni, Ilusion and Munetatsu Nakamura as the DDTeeeen!! generation. The match almost ended with Nakamura pinning Yuni with a German Suplex but Ilusion broke it up with a Swanton Bomb. Nakamura then gave Ilusion a German Suplex but Yuni took him down and pinned him with the Phoenix Splash. Yuni said even though he is younger and smaller than the other two, he is still more experienced than both of them.

There Is So Much Wrestling This Month!

January 3, 2024

This week already feels like the craziest January schedule of wrestling shows in years.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’24”, 04/01/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Toga Vs Moka Miyamoto, Juria Nagano & Kaya Toribami
2. Raku, Ram Kaichow & Pom Harajuku Vs HIMAWARI, Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo
3. Mizuki Vs Nao Kakuta
4. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
5. Riho Vs Shino Suzuki
6. Aja Kong Vs Wakana Uehara
7. Special Single Match: Rina Yamashita Vs Maki Itoh
8. International Princess Title: Max The Impaler (c) Vs Yuki Arai
9. Princess Tag Team Titles – 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino
10. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Masha Slamovich

The participants of tomorrow’s three title matches all gathered together for contract signings and a press conference earlier today. Masha Slamovich bragged about her success in 2023 that included pinning Miyu Yamashita at “COMBAT PRINCESS USA”. She thinks it is time for a new Princess Of Princess Champion to be crowned in 2024. If she becomes champion she intends to defend it around the world and have the longest reign in the title’s history. Yamashita said she visited many states in America last year and wherever she went, Slamovich was always there. After wrestling each other so much in USA, Yamashita wanted to wrestle her in Japan and asked Tetsuya Koda to bring her over to have this title match. She feels the pressure but enjoys it because she wants to take bigger risks so her fourth title reign can stand out.

Three teams are now ready to fight each other for the vacant Princess Tag Team Titles. As far as Daisy Monkey are concerned the situation has not changed for them. Suzume & Arisu Endo want to win the belts that were held by Tokyo Joshi Pro’s strongest tag teams. Daydream last held the titles in 2020 so Miu Watanabe would like to make her daydreams with Rika Tatsumi come true again. Tatsumi always thought it was strange that Daydream were not the next challengers in the first place. Yuki Aino is happy to get a chance to win the tag titles with Ryo Mizunami. Her tag partner is often called “Everyone’s Aniki” but when they win Aino wants it to change to “My Aniki”! Mizunami said 2024 is the Year Of The Dragon and she was also born in the Year Of The Dragon. So it is fate that she and Aino can leave a mark in TJPW by becoming the new tag champions!

Yuki Arai signed the International Princess Title match contract while waiting for Max The Impaler to show up. She talked about this being her second shot at the title and how she lost the Princess Tag Titles at last year’s Ittenyon show. She wants to start off her year shining and become champion for Saki Akai. Max then finally arrived at the building and marked the contract with their thumb which counts as their signature. Max then pulled out a hair band that Arai recognised. It is the hairband that Max took from her when The Wasteland War Party beat Reiwa AA Cannon for the Princess Tag Titles last year! Arai promised to win the belt and also get her hairband back!

GANBARE☆PRO “2024 GANBARE☆THE FIGHT BEGINS”, 04/01/2024

4. GanPro New Year Special 6-Man Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii, Yumehito Imanari & Mizuki Watase Vs Shota, Soma Takao & Shinichiro Tominaga
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Shuichiro Katsumura (c) Vs Ken Ohka

Munetatsu Nakamura must be feeling like a million bucks after winning the Best Newcomer category at the Japan Indie Grand Prix Awards on New Year’s Eve.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2024 TOUR IN SHINJUKU”, 05/01/2024
Shinjuku FACE

6. KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, MAO, Shunma Katsumata, Toy Kojima & Yoshihiko (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi, Antonio Honda, Takayuki Ueki, Takeshi Masada & Mecha Mummy

The first new addition to DDT this year is Yoshitatsu. He left All Japan a few days ago and chose DDT as his landing spot because the place reminds him of how fun pro wrestling can be. Jun Akiyama is someone in particular he wants to be in the ring with again so they get to team up in Yoshitatsu’s first match under this new arrangement.

Daisuke Sasaki approached Tetsuya Endo after today’s show and suggested they should join forces again. His argument is Endo no longer has any ties to BURNING without Akiyama involved and with that he shouldn’t have anything holding him back either. He left before Endo could respond so what will happen next?

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2024 TOUR IN OSAKA DAY 1”, 06/01/2024
Osaka 176BOX

1. Kazusada Higuchi Vs Rukiya

Then the day after that he takes on Takeshi Masada. The previously announce 3 Way Match Masada was in is now just Makoto Oishi against Yuni.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2024 TOUR IN SHINAGAWA”, 21/01/2024
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Soma Takao & Shota (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki & KANON
2. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Bryan Keith

Sasaki & KANON have become the next challengers for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Sasaki is trying to rile up ROMANCE DAWN over their connection to the Young Communication generation. Shota is proud to be part of that circle of wrestlers but Sasaki thinks his connection to the group is insignificant. Soma Takao meanwhile wants revenge on DAMNATION T.A for the chairshot they gave him earlier today.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2024”, 28/01/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. MAO Birthday Commemorative Match: MAO Vs X
2. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Naruki Doi
3. DDT Extreme Title: Kazuki Hirata (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Yukio Naya

The winner of the D-Oh Grand Prix 2023 is Yukio Naya which means he is now lined up for a KO-D Openweight Title shot! Yuki Ueno admits Naya proved he is the strongest wrestler in DDT but the championship belongs to only the most interesting. The battles over different visions for what DDT should be will continue to flare throughout this year.

The previous DDT Extreme Champion is back from injury and wants to win the belt again. Shunma Katsumata has been a a big supporter of Kazuki Hirata’s current title reign and is eager to find out what rules Hirata will come up with.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2024 ~27TH ANNIVERSARY 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 17/03/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Tsubasa Suzuki Debut Match: Tsubasa Suzuki Vs X
2. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Yuma Aoyagi

The biggest match yet in the DDT Vs All Japan rivalry has been announced. Konosuke Takeshita will be representing DDT on its 27th Anniversary against Yuma Aoyagi! The former Triple Crown Champion wants to introduce his own “Dramatic Dream” to Takeshita and sees this match as a path that will lead him down to Yuki Ueno and the KO-D Title!

For the first time DDT has an intern pro wrestler. Tsubasa Suzuki is a student wrestler from Hitotsubashi University World Pro Wrestling Alliance (or HWWA for short). He was born in Shizuoka on 14th August 2002. He is 176cm tall, weighs 80kg and has a background in track and field as well as his student wrestling club.

She has already decided on who she wants to face in her first match back but it has not been announced yet.
