Brookes will be jumping over to the other side of the ring to team with one of the recent previous challengers HARASHIMA.

More matches from the mind of Daisuke Sasaki are becoming a reality. FIRE DAMNATION will be represented with the return of Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami to team with MJ Paul. One of their opponents is Daichi Sato, the teenager from HEAT-UP who was also on the short lived DDTeeeen!! shows a couple of years ago. That doesn’t sound threatening at all but Masashi Takeda as Sato’s partner will give that team a fighting chance against the heavyweights.

A battle will break out between Ram Kaichow and Brahman Shu! They have gone forth to gather soldiers under their respective banners and those soldiers may end up looking familiar to everyone in the venue.

Last but not least is an international 6-Man Tag Match where Demus & Ilusion are joined by Anarko Montaña on the DAMNATION T.A side. Facing them is the babyface trio of Kaito Ishida, Shunma Katsumata & Diego.

DDT “GET ALIVE 2024”, 23/11/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Akito 15th Anniversary Debut Special Single Match: Isami Kodaka Vs Akito
2. DDT Extreme Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Danshoku Dieno (c/c) Vs Yuni

Akito wanted a special opponent for a match that will celebrate the 15th Anniversary of his debut. When Akito wrestled as a freelancer in Tokyo, Isami Kodaka became a close companion of his. They worked, drank and studied wrestling together. Kodaka was also a big influence for the kind of pro wrestler Akito developed into. Akito credits Kodaka for helping him create the IPPON Lighttube Death Match. However they rarely have the chance to wrestle each other because they are so busy with their jobs in DDT and BASARA respectively. So for Akito’s 15th Anniversary he wants to finally get in the ring with Kodaka again so they can reminisce about old memories while also fighting with the passion from those times.

*V3 for Shinya Aoki. Shunma Katsumata cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Shield.

The “Baka Survivor” is living up to his nickname after defending his KO-D Openweight Title not once but twice today. First up, Shinya Aoki fought HARASHIMA in the advertised main event of the show to continue their friendly but competitive rivalry. The contest featured plenty of grappling although Aoki went full pro wrestler a few times by doing a Topé Suicida and also a Piledriver. HARASHIMA broke out of Aoki’s submission attempts and seemed to score a big hit with the Somato. But Aoki grabbed victory from the jaws of defeat by catching HARASHIMA in a Full Nelson and then pinning his shoulders to the mat for the three count. He didn’t get a moment to celebrate though because a new challenger quickly appeared.

Shunma Katsumata approached Aoki after the match and cashed in his Right To Challenge Shield to get a KO-D Title shot right there on the spot! He was on the attack from the start, scoring a two count from the Totonou Splash. Katsumata then tried to bring in a box of toy blocks but Yukinori Matsui stopped him. He solved that problem by Dropkicking Aoki into Matsui to knock the ref out. Matsui would get knocked out again later in the match when Katsumata tried attacking Aoki with a chair. Katsumata then placed Aoki onto a table out of the ring and wrapped tape around him to make sure he couldn’t get off it. Katsumata then climbed a ladder in the ring and hit the Sauna Trance Splash to put Aoki through the table. Back in the ring Katsumata then hit the Firebird Splash but that wasn’t enough to beat Aoki. Instead Aoki caught Katsumata in the Full Nelson Hold and for the second time in a row the move got him the win out of nowhere.

Things had finally calmed down for Aoki when Chris Brookes was next to get into the ring. Brookes praised Aoki for defending the title twice in one day, proving he really is the strongest in DDT. He can see Aoki has love for DDT but nobody loves DDT more than Brookes. Even though Brookes hasn’t been winning many matches lately he wants the next KO-D Title match to be “Baka Survivor” Vs “Baka Gaijin”! Aoki accepted the challenge and it will happen at Tokyo Higashin Arena show on 4th November. He later said love and affection is what Brookes brings to the table which makes him stand out from previous challengers.

Only one person knew how to win the nobodyknows+ Rules and that was the ref Daisuke Kiso. Nine victory conditions and prohibited actions were put on the screen but only one of them was needed to end the match. It was up to Akito and Danshoku Dieno to make these conditions happen in the hopes it would make them the winner. The nine rules were One Count Pinfall, No English, Shake Hands With Haku, No Rope Escape, defeat one of the seconds at ringside, Corner Post Removal, Three Count Pinfall outside the ring, Confession after a three count and No Stripping. One by one the rules that weren’t used would get stricken off the board. Dieno got his pet dog Haku to shake his hand but that wasn’t the rule. He tried to fight To-y and Kazuma Sumi but that wasn’t the rule either. Akito pinned Dieno with a Gedo Clutch and began to confess, thinking that was the winning rule. He told Dieno they did this match a decade ago and a lot has changed since then. In those ten years they developed trust with each other and while Akito felt like questioning himself at times, Dieno was always true to himself. Akito doesn’t care what Dieno wants to do as long as he is trying to make DDT better just like him. The bell then rang to signal the end of the match. Akito thought he won because of the confession but instead he lost because he broke the “No English” rule by saying DDT out loud!

Dieno is now the DDT Extreme Champion so after the match Hisaya Imabayashi asked him who he wants his first challenger to be? Dieno picked Yuni. Oh boy… Imabayashi refused because having a 16 year old high school student fight Dieno would cause nothing but problems for DDT. It’s why DDT rarely puts Dieno and Yuni in the same match together. Dieno told the GM that if Yuni wants to win the Extreme Title then he should be allowed to have a say in the decision. Yuni got down to the ring carrying the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title he won earlier in the show. He said he wants to be a champion so he has no reason to refuse the match. Imabayashi reluctantly agreed to book the match for 23rd November. Dieno then rolled up Yuni from behind and pinned him to win the Iron Man Title. Imabayashi then told Dieno he will have to defend both titles against Yuni.

Today saw both remaining Right To Challenge Shields be used up. BURNING had just won their tag match against Jun Akiyama & Yuki Ishida when MAO got into the ring. He had won a Shield earlier in the show and wasn’t going to wait for a chance to win back the DDT Universal Title that Iino took from him a month ago! Iino was able to hit the Spear but MAO kicked out at two. When Iino ran the ropes to charge up another Spear, MAO cut him off and landed the Michinoku Driver II before hitting the Iai Kick for a suprise title change. MAO joked afterwards that he rescued his beloved princess to continue their on and off relationship. He’s now ready to do so much as the Universal Champion both in Japan and around the world. Iino is upset his belt is now gone and promised to get revenge. His BURNING will not end like this!

DAMNATION T.A is growing even stronger thanks to its newest allies making themselves heard. Ilusion added more salt to SCHADENFREUDE International’s wounds by showing up in a new costume and acting more heelish with his new buddies. He attacked Antonio Honda with a chair so Honda couldn’t tell his Gongitsune spot. Brookes tried getting his hands to Ilusion but a missed attack his Masahiro Takanashi by mistake. Daisuke Sasaki gave Takanashi the Pedigree and Ilusion used the Swanton Bomb to pin him. After the match Ilusion hurled insults at SCHADENFREUDE and targeted Takeshi Masada in particular. He said he will destroy Masada’s annoying face! Masada later challenged Ilusion to a singles match on 4th November.

Ilusion is not the only person who is attracted to the darkside of DAMNATION T.A. The group interrupted Haruto Sakuraba’s segment in the ring and gave him an offer. Sasaki can see Sakuraba has talent and that talent is to be a villain! The offer is for Sakuraba to join DAMNATION T.A for his debut match at Sumo Hall on 28th December. Imabayashi tried to tell Sasaki that won’t be happening but Sakuraba suddenly cut him off and shook Sasaki’s hand! He then posed in the ring with Sasaki & KANON. Backstage Sakuraba explained it would be boring if his wrestling debut was just an ordinary one. He wants to surpass his hero The Rock and he plans on doing it by turning heel before his very first match!

Yuni won the Iron Man Title in the second match of the show. He & Kazuma Sumi wanted to run wild on their opponents but Super Sasadango Machine wasn’t having any of it. He got on the microphone and told the young team they can’t just go win a match without caring about the feelings of their opponents or the fans. They should be trying more to make the fans happy. They all agreed that dancing with Kazuki Hirata was the answer but it was a setup for the veterans to launch an ambush. However Yuni countered Hirata’s Miracle One Shot Cradle and got the pin with his own Inside Cradle to win the Iron Man Title. Sumi then tried to roll up Yuni after the match but failed. While the two of them argued, Hirata charged them with the bell hammer in his hand but missed and hit himself with the hammer after it bounced off the rope.

MAO got his hands on a Right To Challenge Shield by winning the opening match with the rest of The 37KAMIINA. Thanks to some teamwork with Yuki Ueno, Katsumata & To-y they fought off Yukio Naya, Keigo Nakamura & Yuya Koroku. Then ShunMao gave Soma Takao the Our Mad Max to give MAO the pinfall. The result set up a busy night for ShunMao with their cash in moves later in the show. Katsumata even said the reason why he cashed in for the KO-D Title after the main event was because he saw MAO successfulyy use his shield to win back the Universal Title.

6. The Final Match Of Beer Garden Pro Wrestling 2024! Special Drunk 3 Way Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi defeated Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino and Yuki Ueno & MAO when Takanashi pinned Endo after the H.O.D (24:01).

For the final time this year DDT held a Beer Garden show at Ueno Park. The main event was advertised as a Drunk 3 Way Tag Match where the wrestlers took a drink of tequila after every two count kickout. Chris Brookes wanted it to just be beer but accepted the tequila. Yuki Iino tried to refuse the drinks because he had to got work his other job at a private gym after the show. However he had to follow the rules and soon got drunk along with everyone else in the match. He also started acting like Yuki “Sexy” Iino again when his old Pheromones song played over the speakers. Yukinori Matsui wound up getting involved more than a referee is expected to so all of the wrestlers made him drink with them. Soon everyone was so drunk they all missed their attacks. Tetsuya Endo couldn’t do handsprings any more, CDK couldn’t hit their signature holds while Yuki Ueno & MAO kept missing their jumping kick moves. Endo got Iino to sober up by telling him Kenta Kobashi will be mad at him for getting drunk. Endo then lifted up MAO for the Swivel Torture Rack Bomb but had to stop spinning to maintain his composure. CDK took advantage by using their double team move called the Hair Of The Dog to pile themselves on top of Endo and MAO. Endo’s shoulders were pinned down by Masahiro Takanashi and he couldn’t kick out, making CDK the winners.

Danshoku Dieno immediately beat Kazuki Hirata to regain the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title and then insulted him for being a lazy wrestler. They were in the semi-main event and the way Hirata treated it means he will never escape the opening match. Hirata stood up not just for himself but also on behalf of all the wrestlers who wrestled in the early portion of today’s show. He called out some of those wrestlers to get in the ring and soon a brawl broke out between the group. Two sides formed against each other and an impromptu 6 Vs 7 Handicap Match began. Even the referees started turning against each other during the match as Yukinori Matsui and Daisuke Kiso fought each other in the ring while everyone else was brawling outside. Eventully Hirata’s team won when he pinned Dieno with the Miracle One Shot Cradle, taking the Iron Man Title back in the process. He wanted to celebrate but his own team then tried to pin him to win the title for themselves, forcing Hirata to flee with the belt.

A cute tiger cub toy was attached to the middle of a tiger rope. The same rope was also used to connect Jun Akiyama and Antonio Honda while they fought each other. Akiyama also brought out a cane but Honda convinced him to not to use it because it is an illegal weapon. Akiyama accepted the explanation but Honda then grabbed the cane. He tried to attack Akiyama with it but Akiyama ducked, the cane bounced off the ropes and Honda hit himself with it instead. Honda was able to trip Akiyama face first into a chair set up in the ring. He climbed the ropes for the Diving Fist Drop but Akiyama lifted up the tiger cub as a shield. Honda redirected his landing and missed on purpose so he wouldn’t harm the cub. Honda then tried to do the Bionic Elbow but ended up tangling himself with the rope while he was winding up the move. Akiyama took advantage and used the Exploder Suplex to win the match. He said he didn’t understand the rules but the tiger is cute so he knew it needed to be protected. The rule was Honda’s idea and he admitted it blew up in his face today.

The Street Kickboxing match no longer had Kota Ibushi involved but one of his protégés Yukimitsu Takahashi still appeared for the bout. He and Takeshi Masada spent a lot of the match fighting each other in and out of the ring. Keigo Nakamura tried fighting with Karate instead of kickboxing. HARASHIMA had trouble dealing with Thanomsak Toba but when it came down to him against Gota Ihashi, HARASHIMA knocked his opponent out with the Somato.

An unlikely fan favourite emerged from this year’s Beer Garden shows. Mataro Suzuki from the DDT Video Team was often dragged into DAMNATION T.A’s matches, usually because Daisuke Sasaki was too hungover to wrestle. It happened again today but this time the match suddenly had the added stipulation that whoever got pinned must retire from pro wrestling immediately! Sadly for Suzuki he lost the match by missing the People’s Elbow and getting pinned afterward. He was given an impromptu retirement ceremony after the match that included a 10 bell salute while the wrestlers all cried at ringside.

The show began with Akito and Dieno deciding on the rules for their DDT Extreme Title match on 20th October. Akito decided it will be a nobodyknows+ Rules Match. There will be nine victory conditions and prohibited actions decided on before the match. The referee will secretly select pick one of the conditions and it will be up to the wrestlers to discover for themselves how they can win or lose the match. Akito and Dieno did this match once before back in 2014 but Dieno has no memory of it. The options are all supposed to be randomised but as champion Akito will get to choose the 9 conditions. However he allowed Dieno to come up with one condition. Dieno’s idea if picked is you can win by bringing his pet dog Haku into the ring and make him hold his paw onto your hand.

*V3 for DAMNATION T.A.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Kazuki Hirata defeated Shunma Katsumata (c) with a School Boy (4:16 pm).
*Kazuki Hirata becomes the 1,677th champion.

The hometown advantage wasn’t enough for Yuki Ishida to get revenge on DAMNATION T.A. He defiantly stood up to them today along with Akito & Yukio Naya as the Dosukoi Three Musketeers. A chair attack from MJ Paul meant Ishida had to fight in a weakened state but he was able to hit Daisuke Sasaki with the Flame Palm for a nearfall. Sasaki ducked a second Flame Palm, gave Ishida the Pedigree and then made him submit to the Crossface Lock. He talked trash to Ishida after the match, telling him he has no talent for pro wrestling and he should be grateful to come from a countryside that has no hope or dreams. Ishida defended his hometown and said he is proud to be from Yatsushiro. He got to challenge for a championship he always wanted but was too weak to win it. He promised to keep fighting with hopes and dreams. He also hopes the next time he wrestles here it will be with the rest of Harimao, fully reunited.

HARASHIMA continues to gain confidence for his upcoming KO-D Openweight Title shot. He told fans the next time he comes to Kumamoto he will be bringing the KO-D Title with him.

Not only did Yuki Iino lift Kazuki Hirata into submission with the Argentine Backbreaker but he also used the move to carry him away from the ring after their match.

Shunma Katsumata exploited Keigo Nakamura’s teamwork for his own gain. He found ways to make Nakamura come to his defence against the other team’s attacks. The plan worked when he told Nakamura to climb the ropes and do a Diving Headbutt to Danshoku Dieno. Dieno dodged the move but rolled right into position for Katsumata to hit him with the Totonou Splash for the victory. Katsumata won both the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title and the Right To Challenge Shield from Dieno as a result. Nakamura was so annoyed at being used like that he spent the rest of the show trying to win the Iron Man Title from Katsumata for revenge. At the end of the show Katsumata fought off Nakamura in the ring but Hirata hit him from behind with the ring bell hammer. He then rolled him up for the pin and ran off with the title.

1. Chris Brookes & Yuki Ishida defeated Soma Takao & Kazuki Hirata when Ishida pinned Hirata with the Dosukoi Hold (7:12).
2. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul defeated Akito, Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi when KANON submitted Sumi with the Crucifix Cobra Twist (10:18).
3. O-40 Title – 3 Way Match: Toru Owashi defeated Azul Dragon (c) and Danshoku Dieno when Owashi pinned Dieno with La Magistral (5:35).
*Azul Dragon fails in V2. Toru Owashi becomes the 6th O-40 Champion!
4. Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku defeated Jun Akiyama & Keigo Nakamura when Endo pinned Nakamura with the Burning Star Press (9:01).
5. Special Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & Yuki Ueno defeated HARASHIMA & Takeshi Masada when Aoki pinned Masada with a Modified Inside Cradle (10:13).
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles – Falls Count Anywhere: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) defeated Kota Umeda & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Katsumata pinned Matsunaga with the Sauna Trance Splash through a Table (11:46).
*V2 for ShunMao.
7. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Iino (c) defeated To-y with the Spear (18:28).
*V2 for Yuki Iino.

It’s nice that To-y has a never say die attitude but that wasn’t going to win him the DDT Universal Title today. An endless barrage of Chops from the challenger drew Yuki Iino into firing back with his own. Iino then hit the Spear to bring the match into its closing stretch. He hit threw three Lariats and hit To-y with another Spear to win and defend the title. At the very least, Iino developed a new found respect for his opponent. He always referred to him as Kojima even after the name change but he will start calling him To-y from now on. Iino will also go find ways to make his BURNING even hotter!

Both members of ShunMao have talked about defending the KO-D Tag Team Titles anytime, anywhere and against anyone. To show that they weren’t joking they challenged Kota Umeda & Tomomitsu Matsunaga to change the rules of their title match to Falls Count Anywhere! The champions went on to prove why that match is their specialty by successfully defending the belts. Shunma Katsumata got the pin at ringside after he putMatsunaga through a table with the Sauna Trance Splash from a ladder. Umeda refused to shake hands with the champions after the match. MAO admitted he thought about quitting when the match was first announced but now that his team won he knows they are the best! He’s glad ShunMao were able to show their true colours by doing a Falls Count Anywhere match inside a beautiful venue. He doesn’t know when the next title defence is but ShunMao will do it anytime and anywhere. They don’t even need a ring! Umeda’s next appearance in DDT will be at DNA’s 10th Anniversary show. He named Yuki Iino and Keigo Nakamura as his preferred choice of opponents because he has close connections with those two. He would also like to fight Kazusada Higuchi again whenever he returns from injury.

Shinya Aoki had a lucky escape in his match. He was on the verge of defeat when HARASHIMA hit him with the Somato. However Takeshi Masada was the legal man and Aoki caught him in a Small Package to get the three count out of nowhere. In an uncharacteristic move by a KO-D Openweight Champion, Aoki admitted today was a moral defeat. When he took the Somato his mind went blank and he does not know if he can figure out a gameplan to counter it in time for next Sunday’s title match. Meanwhile HARASHIMA is feeling confident going into that match now that he knows how effective the Somato will be against Aoki.

The O-40 Title is back in the hands of Toru Owashi, making him the first two time champion in the belt’s history. He beat Azul Dragon directly while Danshoku Dieno was preoccupied from being in the Hell Gate position. Owashi didn’t get many people challenging him the first time round so this time he wants to raise the championship’s value and make it something worthwhile. He asks if there are any wrestlers over 40 years old to please come and challenge him for the belt!

DAMNATION T.A added insult to injury after Match #2 when they tried to cut off Yuki Ishida’s hair with a pair of scissors. Akito & Yukio Naya came to the rescue. Once Ishida was saved he promised to take the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles from DAMNATION T.A at his hometown tomorrow. However Daisuke Sasaki warned he will humiliate Ishida in Kumamoto so badly that Ishida will never be able to walk those streets ever again!

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.

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.

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.

*V1 for ShunMao.

Today was Makoto Oishi’s final day as a DDT pro wrestler. It was a busy day for him because he wrestled twice on the show. His contract has now ended and he is planning to move to Miyagi in order to spend more time with his family. While his wrestling schedule is being reduced for the time being it is not the end of his career. He might even show up in DDT again some day in the future. But as far as everyone was concerned, today was treated as him saying goodbye to the company that’s been his home for 13 years.

Oishi’s final match was put in the main event where he teamed with Danshoku Dieno as Gunname Express to challenge ShunMao for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. There were also DDT wrestlers who’ve been close to Oishi for the last few years that stood in his corner at ringside. Oishi explained why halfway through the match. He got on the microphone and said he wants to give more DDT wrestlers one last chance to fight him so they should enter the ring right now! One by one the DDT roster got into the ring and hit Oishi with one of their signature moves. They were Keigo Nakamura, Kazuma Sumi, Yuki Ueno, To-y, Jun Akiyama, Sanshiro Takagi and finally Kaisei Takechi. After that happened Dieno & Oishi performed a 4 way Lip Lock on MAO & Shunma Katsumata. Katsumata and Dieno both collapsed from it, leaving MAO to pin Oishi with the Iai Kick.

After the match Oishi reminded everyone he isn’t retiring. In fact it is likely he will be at DDT’s shows in Osaki and Fukushima next month because they are not far to travel from Miyagi. Dieno left the ring crying anyway. MAO said Oishi will be gone from DDT but Oishi-ism will remain because ShunMao learned from him. Backstage, Hisaya Imabayashi told ShunMao their next title defence will be against Kota Umeda & Tomomitsu Matsunaga on 13th October. ShunMao refused because neither of them want to be in the ring with Umeda again but Imabayashi ignored them and made the match official.

Ilusion lived up to his name because all this time his dream to join SCHADENFREUDE International was just an illuison! You can thank DAMNATION T.A for that because they were in on it the whole time. Ilusion betrayed SCHADENFREUDE by costing them the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles right when they were about to win the belts. Takeshi Masada had Daisuke Sasaki pinned and beaten when Ilusion pulled away the referee and then attacked Masada with a chair. Sasaki & KANON then finished him off with the Freedom Call for a successful title defence. Sasaki announced Ilusion as the newest member of DAMNATION T.A although in reality he has been with them for a long time. Naturally the SCHADENFREUDE members are devastated by what happened. Chris Brookes though is already putting his mind to getting revenge.

In the first prelim match for the upcoming KO-D Openweight Title challenge, HARASHIMA is feeling good about his chances against Shinya Aoki. After winning the tag match HARASHIMA told Aoki it’s been more than three years since their last singles bout together. Seeing Aoki face to face again reminds HARASHIMA how strong he is which makes him worth defeating. Aoki admitted he should be more cautious going into the title match or else he will lose. Until then he’s going to use the remaining prelim matches to tighten up his resolve.

Oishi’s other match on the show was put together by Takechi’s request. The star wanted to team with his mentor so DDT put the two of them against Akito & Kazuki Hirata. It was the first time Takechi got to experience DDT at its wackiest. He joined in the Hirata GO! dance and outperformed everyone else during it. He then used Oishi’s move the Miracle Ecstasy on Hirata and Oishi followed up with the Jikiden Tornado Clutch for the victory. Takechi then read a letter to Oishi after the match thanking him for teaching him to be a pro wrestler from scratch. He hopes one day he will meet Oishi again whether it’s in private, at work or in the ring.

The mindsets of champion and challenger for the upcoming DDT Universal Title match could not be any more different. Yuki Iino is relaxed and confident that he is going to win while To-y is getting paranoid that he will be given the Spear at any moment. To-y said he is going to take everything that makes Iino BURNING and turn it into NeppoWER!! However Iino told him the reason why he Spears him so easily is because To-y has no guts! When the title match happens Iino promises he will use the Spear to split his opponent in two!

How in the hell did we end up with Soma Takao holding both of the remaining Right To Challenge Shields? He considered auctioning them off but decided against it. Instead he is planning to carefully use them one by one and warned everyone to keep their eyes on him.

Yuki Ishida wants a shot at the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles on 14th October because that is the date of his homecoming show in Kumamoto. His wish was granted and he chose Yukio Naya & Akito to be his tag partners.

There was a special guest who paid DDT a visit today. Touchi-kun is the mascot of the Japan Self-Defence Force’s Tokyo headquarters. However his appearance drew the ire of a jealous Pokotan and the two mascots got into a fight at ringside! DDT decided to settle this problem by giving Touchi-kun his debut wrestling match on the 4th November show in Sumida Ward!

It was announced that Satoshi Kojima will also be at the 4th November show.

7. KO-D Tag Team Titles – Makoto Oishi’s Last DDT Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Makoto Oishi & Danshoku Dieno

A press conference was held today for ShunMao and the challengers to sign the KO-D Tag Team Titles match contract. Danshoku Dieno appeared alone and called Makoto Oishi to find out where he is. Oishi said he overslept and he was already in a taxi on the way over to the building. After a 10 minute wait Oishi still had not appeared so the contract signing went ahead without him. Dieno apologized dogeza style and convinced ShunMao to let him sign the contract without the need for Oishi’s signature. Shunma Katsumata called it a sign of Oishi being careless and MAO said when the match happens he will deliver the final blow to Oishi. When it was time for the group photo, Oishi finally arrived and entered the room intending to ambush the champions. But MAO noticed him coming and kicked him in the groin. Oishi admitted he was going to attack MAO to give his team the advantage but he really did oversleep and arrived to the conference late. He explained he went to be late last night, woke up this morning to do his laundry, went back to bed until almost noon. Oishi apologised by doing a full vertical headstand that he calls the ultimate dogeza. He then talked about the title match but mistakingly said it was happened on 3rd November, not 3rd October. MAO scolded him for getting the date wrong and called it was a disgrace.

Oishi’s last day in DDT has gotten even busier. He helped train Kaisei Takechi for his wrestling matches and Takechi wants to show his appreciation for it by teaming with him before he goes. Oishi already has a KO-D Tag Titles match lined up but ShunMao gave their blessing for him to do the Takechi match too. It sounds like the Takechi match will happen before the title match on the day.

2. Special Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Kota Umeda & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Iino (c) Vs To-y

After a whole bunch of failed cash in attempts, To-y lost his chance at fighting Yuki Iino for the DDT Universal Title when the Right To Challenge Shield was taken away from him. However To-y didn’t let that stop him from still trying to get Iino’s attention. No matter how many times Iino took him down with the Spear, To-y refused to give up. Iino now sees how much heart To-y is showing him so he agreed to finally give him his title shot.

I found out where Azul Dragon defended the O-40 Title. He held an event back in June called Karaokekan Pro Wrestling and retained the title in a 3 Way Match with a bunch of silly rules attached to it.

It’s a big spot for the likes of Munetatsu Nakamura, Daisuke®️, Shota Kawakami and maybe even Yuki Kanzaki. But if Keisuke Ishii and Ken Ohka win their matches in dominant ways that too could show GanPro’s future is not going to change much.

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

1. DDT Extreme Title: Akito (c) Vs Danshoku Dieno
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs HARASHIMA

In the past there have been three singles matches Shinya Aoki and HARASHIMA had against each other. Aoki has a 2-1 record against HARASHIMA but still considers his opponent to be the undisputed ace of DDT. He is looking forward to finding out if he can make it three wins out of four or if HARASHIMA will even the score and win the KO-D Openweight Title in the process.

The new DDT Extreme Champion wasted no time in choosing his first challenger. Akito has always admired Dieno for being a symbol of DDT’s creativity. Even when Akito feuded with Pheromones he hated seeing Dieno play in a supporting role rather than the group leader. Akito played a part in taking away Pheromones from Dieno so he wants to flip roles and give Dieno a chance to take his beloved Extreme Title away from him.

Kota Ibushi will be on the show.
