One year ago a rivalry between Super Sasadango Machine and Toru Yano brought DDT and New Japan together, mending a decade long broken relationship in the process. The event was such a success that both parties agreed to do it again, this time under more friendlier circumstances. With a hot summer of sport about to begin, an agreement was made by both sides to provide the best sportsmanship and keep things fair throughout the day. But as the show hit its stride, the trust between DDT and NJPW would be taken advantage of by some for the sake of getting the competitive advantage.

For an inter-promotional show such as this it was necessary that everything would be presented 50/50. It aired as a PPV on both NJPW World and Wrestle Universe with each streaming service providing their own full scale broadcast on separate screens side-by-side. That meant separate commentary teams with their own special guests, separate ring announcers, alternating referees, etc. Korakuen Hall even tried to split itself in half with the green DDT side having a security fence installed while the red NJPW side was barrier free. The NJPW World commentators were Yohei Onishi, Milano Collection A.T. and special guest Hiroshi Tanahashi. The Wrestle Universe commentators were Haruo Murata, Ken Suzuki.txt and special guest Yuki Ueno. Murata wants to be neutral because he works with both companies but his interactions with Daisuke Sasaki during the Best Of The Super Jr. meant he was DDT through and through no matter what he says.

A signing ceremony was planned to take place but first Yano had an announcement to make regarding his team. Tomoaki Honma was unable to appear at the show today because of illness so a substitute was called in at the last minute. His replacement is KUSHIDA! With that news out of the way, Sasadango and Yano signed the contract and started to hype up the fans to chant for their favorite side.

The chants turned into a cheering contest with Yano ordering Tatsuya Matsumoto to encourage even louder chants for New Japan. Hinata Kasai tried to do the same with the DDT fans, leading the two young wrestlers to get in each other’s way and then begin arguing. The arguing turned into a staredown and the staredown was going to turn into a fight!

All of a sudden a three minute long wrestling exhibition broke out between Matsumoto and Kasai. The two fought back and forth until the time expired but both kept trying to fight so they were allowed another five minutes to settle their differences. Kasai locked in an STF but Matsumoto broke free and got a nearfall with a Body Slam. As the match hit the 3 minute mark, Matsumoto put Kasai in a Crab Hold and got him to give up.

Everything was now calm again after that fired up display so it was time for the show to begin proper. DDT and New Japan would face each other in a gauntlet of singles matches with mystery lineups made out of five participants on each team. However a match could be turned into a tag team bout if both sides agree to the change beforehand. Sasadango and Yano together gave an oath promising to uphold good sportsmanship in every match… but it was all a trick! A video played on the two screens showing an unmasked Sasadango dressed up as the famous fortune teller Kazuko Hosoki. Here, “Kazuko Sasaki” informed Yano that DDT had just invited NJPW into taking part in a special tour… The DDT Hell Tour!

Sasadango admits he was foolish to think his team could beat New Japan in five regular pro wrestling matches so he hatched a plan. The DDT GM Hisaya Imabayashi then showed Yano the contract he signed included an extra sentence written in English that was not included in the Japanese print. “All match rules must be accepted as decided by DDT.” Yano was tricked into letting DDT decide the rules for every match tonight!

DDT used the surprise to their immediate advantage by making the first match an IPPON Lighttube Tag Death Match! In this match there is only one lighttube and the loser is the person whose body breaks it. DDT sent the master of the match Akito out there to team with MAO while NJPW were represented by KUSHIDA & El Desperado. The sudden rule change made things more dangerous for KUSHIDA because lately he likes to wrestle barefoot. Akito made fun of that by shoving a sock into KUSHIDA’s mouth near the end of the match. However as everyone fought over the lighttube or tried to avoid touching it, MAO and Desperado formed their own alliance because of their friendship and agreed to break the lighttube together. They both climbed up the same turnbuckle, counted down together and… only Desperado went ahead with the trust fall. He smashed landed on the lighttube while MAO remained on the turnbuckles to celebrate winning the match. Desperado was so furious over the betrayal he abducted Viento Maligno at ringside and threatened to harm him with the remains of the broken lighttube unless MAO apologizes.

Akito & MAO remained in the ring to take part in the second match. This one showed everybody how DDT’s plan could backfire on them in a spectacular manner. It was a Blindfold Butt-Finding Hell Match where every wrestler had to fight blindfolded in their underwear and the first one to have their backside exposed would lose. NJPW sent out the two wrestlers that were guaranteed to thrive under such a ruleset, YOH & Ryusuke Taguchi! Both men walked out wearing an extra pair of underwear over their heads along with slingkinis and stockings. Keep in mind this show is taking place exactly one day after YOH won BOSJ! The blindness led to Akito & MAO almost fighting each other until they recognized each other by their body shape. The two of them as well as YOH all ended up wandering outside the ring while back inside Taguchi was trying to do Hip Attacks into thin air. When everyone got back into the ring MAO slid up from underneath Taguchi only to bump into YOH and accidentally Lip Lock him. The four wrestlers then formed a chain by all reaching out to the person in front of them to grab their tights. The NJPW team won the duel and exposed the DDT wrestlers’ butts to win the match. According to MAO, the lesson he learned from this match is everybody from Miyagi is weird. YOH proved it later by telling reporters backstage that the experience he went through today feels so good.

Match #3 had DDT send out reinforcements in the form of Antonio Honda & Kazuki Hirata because the only way to win the match was to make your opponents give up. The DDT team jumped YOH & Taguchi but the NJPW duo would taunt them on the microphone whenever they were asked to give up. Honda told Hirata to put them in the Paradise Lock but Hirata confessed he does not know how to do the move. Honda went outside to bring Milano Collection A.T. into the ring so they could learn it from him. But Honda tripped over the ropes on the way back in. He had injured himself and decided it was time to give up but first he needed to tell his latest Gongitsune joke. It turned into an attack that led to everyone brawling. As the dust settled, only Milano was left standing. He noticed a pair of Hirata GO! glasses had fallen onto the canvas so he put them on and “Tokyo GO!” began to play. He tried to ignore it until he couldn’t help but dance to the music belonging to an old foe. As this was happening, Honda and Taguchi were doing Gongitsune attacks and they both wound up pinching Milano by the nipples. Milano’s response was to put the both of them in Paradise Locks and then continue dancing on top of them. Both Honda and Taguchi gave up at the same time, causing the match to end in a tie.

The series was reaching its halfway point so Sasadango decided now was a good time to do a PowerPoint Presentation… From Hell! He explained to the audience that the ideal way of doing inter-promotional matches is to help develop the next generation. His presentation was suddenly interrupted when his laptop decided to reset itself for updates. While the fans started chanting for the laptop to restart, Sasadango handed his microphone to Hiroshi Tanahashi and asked him to talk for a bit. Tanahashi spoke about the repaired relationship between New Japan and DDT, entirely crediting himself for making it happen. Sasadango then gave up on the laptop and tried to continue his presentation without PowerPoint. He and Yano then broke out into an argument until they noticed Rukiya and Tatsuya Matsumoto both laughing at them nearby. Sasadango and Yano agreed they need to set a good example to their juniors or they would lose their respect. So for the next match the wrestlers involved would lose if their junior laughs at them!

Sasadango would step into the ring to finally be part of the action but his opponent was Hirooki Goto! Rukiya and Matsumoto were made to sit down near the ring with instructions to fill their mouths with water. Every time one of them laughed and spat the water out, their respective wrestler would lose a point. The first to lose three points would lose the match. Both of them laughed at the same time when Goto accidentally unmasked Sasadango during a Headlock off of the ropes. Rukiya then laughed a second time when Sasadango took a Lariat, apologized to Goto and then retreated from the ring. When Sasadango returned, he all of a sudden looked like a completely different person with a ripped physique. Goto was able to unmask him, revealing it was KANON under the mask. That made Matsumoto laugh. The real Sasadango returned to launch a sneak attack on Goto but that failed. He then challenged Goto to a sumo match and encouraged the fans to chant “Edmond” at Goto (because he plays E. Honda in the upcoming Street Fighter movie). Sasadango tricked Goto into taking a Dropkick but Goto got back up and grabbed his opponent. Just when Goto was in position to do the GTR, Sasadango instantly gave up so he wouldn’t take the move. Rukiya laughed at this, taking away Sasadango’s last point. Goto gave him th GTR anyway and pinned him for the three count so he ended up having three different ways to claim victory for the match.

Sasadango was beaten but DDT was not. He still had one more card to play. For many weeks leading up to this show, Sasadango has been trying to recruit one wrestler more than any other but his advances were rejected every time. Well it turns out this person finally agreed to show up because Danshoku Dieno made a big entrance to have a match with Goto! It didn’t take long for the match to get out of hand because the referees Yumehito Imanari, Marty Asami and Daisuke Kiso were all knocked out with Lip Locks that were intended for Goto. Akito ran into the ring to help put Dieno into the Hell Gate position over the top turnbuckle. Chaos then broke out with many wrestlers from both teams all running down to the ring to fight each other and then get their heads shoved into Dieno’s backside. Everything was so out of control that the match had to be called off.

By this point the DDT had run out of all of their players while the NJPW team still had only Toru Yano remaining. Yano thought this meant the series was over and his team had won without him even having to do anything. However Sasadango had one more trick up his sleeve. As much as he works hard for DDT, he does not have a contract with them and in fact wrestles as a freelancer. He is not really a DDT wrestler so that means the result of his match against Goto does not count towards the contest! Yano was furious over the revelation and demanded whoever is in charge of DDT to come out and face him. Sanshiro Takagi did just that and introduced himself to Yano as the supreme commander of DDT. For one more twist of the knife, Takagi and Yano would now face off in a Weapon Rumble!

The rules are a new weapon would be brought down to the ring Royal Rumble style and each weapon was decided upon by either DDT or New Japan. Yano complained that his team didn’t prepare any weapons but Sasadango revealed that he surveyed YOH about it beforehand and was able to get the weapons he suggested. The weapons included a blonde wig, a fire extinguisher, a “Yano Set” of a chair and sake, Mecha Mummy armed with the Mecha Drill, Daisuke Sasaki drinking tequila and El Desperado drinking tequila. The big surprise of all came when Takagi brought out his greatest weapon, Konosuke Takeshita! He had travelled to Japan just to be at this show and he attacked Yano on Takagi’s behalf. But just as Takeshita was about to give Yano the Raging Fire, the countdown for Yano’s next weapon fell to zero and it was revealed to be… Konosuke Takeshita?!? He played along with the rules and switched to attacking Takagi until Takagi started protesting. He said Takeshita belongs to DDT while Yano argued he also belongs to New Japan. Sasadango then stepped into the ring with Tanahashi as everyone agreed this was an issue that needed to be sorted out immediately.

Sasadango pointed out to Takeshita that this is the drawback to having contracts with three different wrestling companies. Two of them are here today so he needed to make a choice between them. Takagi spoke about Takeshita contacting him at 15 years old asking to become a pro wrestler because he was so confident he could reach to the top. Takagi always believes Takeshita will come back to DDT even when he is winning championships in AEW and New Japan. Tanahashi reminded Takeshita of the singles match they had in Sumo Hall back in 2014. He could feel Takeshita’s potential all the way back then and he still has high expectations for him going forward.

Sasadango handed Takeshita a “Final Rose” for him to give to the person he wants to be with (exactly like what Yuma Anzai experienced in Japan’s version of The Bachelorette recently). Takeshita said when he watched NJPW as a kid it gave him dreams and DDT made those dreams come true. He belongs to both companies solely out of gratitude with a desire to repay their kindness. He told Tanahashi he will do his best to protect NJPW from now on. He also made a promise to Takagi he will work hard to help him bring DDT to the Tokyo Dome!

Takeshita was about to hand the Final Rose to both Tanahashi and Takagi when Yano angrily cut him off. Yano complained he cannot choose both and Sasadango agreed that nobody would be satisfied with this ending. Sasadango then said if DDT carelessly goes into the Tokyo Dome and fails miserably then DDT will be finished and everyone will be left out on the streets! All of a sudden Yano & Sasadango now wanted to fight Takeshita in a Handicap match. It didn’t take long for Takeshita to dispatch both of them before pinning Sasadango with the Raging Fire.

After the impromptu match, Takeshita felt it was time he explained himself. He couldn’t find the way to properly convey his feelings up to this point so he got Muscle Sakai to help him out by creating a PowerPoint Presentation for him. It is titled “Why I Belong To Three Pro Wrestling Organizations” He introduced himself as a 31 year old wrestler currently living in Orlando with two special skills: working out and pro wrestling. He won the KO-D Openweight Title in DDT at a young age and still holds the record for most title defences. In New Japan he won the G1 Climax and then held the IWGP World Heavyweight Title. Recently in AEW he defeated Kazuchika Okada (the crowd popped at the mention of this) to become the new AEW International Champion. He is confident he is one of the busiest wrestlers in the world.

He gets all sorts of requests from the companies he works for. NJPW wants him on more domestic tours, DDT wants him to bring them to the Tokyo Dome and AEW doesn’t want any other company taking him away from them. The reason he is signed to all three companies is a simple one. He wants to share his world of pro wrestling to more people. He felt left out when he was not a part of last year’s DDT Vs New Japan show and it is one of his biggest regrets because he belongs to both companies. An all star show like this is supposed to be the most entertaining showdown but there are many ways for people to entertain themselves these days. Takeshita has other hobbies to keep himself occupied but pro wrestling will always be the most interesting.

So Takeshita has come up with three ideas that will prove his point. The first idea is he wants to hold the world’s largest pro wrestling league consisting of 365 wrestlers all fighting each other in a gigantic year long round robin tournament! He watches so much wrestling in his off time that he is subscribed to all of the different streaming services. That means he’s been able to carefully select a list of 365 wrestlers from all over the world he wants to compete and has also created a tentative schedule of matches to be held across Japan so there will be tournament events every single day from the opening bouts on 1st January all the way to the final night on 31st December! He understands the schedule might be difficult to pull off which is why he thinks the league should only be held once every four years likes the Olympics.

 

Takeshita’s second idea is to revise pro wrestling’s rules so they are more in line to modern times. He recognizes that violence doesn’t solve anything and disputes can be resolved through discussion. A suggestion he has is to introduce AI judging and a scoring system based on technical points, artistic points, and compositional skills. His example of a scoring system that works is the annual M-1 Grand Prix comedy show that is always a huge hit at the end of the year. His third idea is to ultimately unify the world of pro wrestling. Today the polar opposites that are New Japan and DDT fought each other in exciting ways because of their completely different styles. If doing this with two companies is exciting then imagine adding countless more into the mix. In order to achieve that goal, Takeshita believes he must first become the world’s No. 1 pro wrestler! He asked for everyone’s support so they can all create the perfect world where pro wrestling is the best.

The presentation touched the hearts of everyone who listened… Well, almost everyone. Takagi was still in a fired up competitive mood and wasn’t going to stand there letting the action go to waste. He tried to rally the other wrestlers around him but everyone went over to the other side of the ring and all stared him down. It was time for the final match where Takagi had to fight everyone else all by himself! He got pummeled by everyone one after the other until Takeshita finished him off with a Stunner.

The show was now reaching its end and a few wrestlers wanted to give their final words. Sasadango asked all of the NJPW fans watching to continue supporting Takeshita. That request goes to the wrestlers in Hontai too. Yano announced that Takeshita was the winner of today’s series and Takagi told him to liven up the wrestling world even more. Tanahashi then led everyone to say the same catchphrase that was used to end last year’s show: “3, 2, 1, Love Muscle! Muscle!”

Wait, wait, wait, hang on. There’s one more thing. After everyone left the ring, Sasadango and Akito both suddenly remembered something and ran out of the room. They rushed through a hallway to find a closed out locker room featuring the final secret weapon that they completely forgot to use during the show. They opened up the door and there inside was the furious NOAH wrestler Kenoh! He demanded to know where Toru Yano was while Sasadango & Akito both desperately apologized to him. It turns out that even though DDT is the last place Kenoh ever wants to be, he has been trying to pick a fight with Yano for ages and agreed to be part of Sasadango’s plan if it meant he could finally get his hands on Yano. That didn’t happen so Kenoh stormed out of Korakuen Hall and went down to the NJPW store in near Suidobashi in search of Yano. The shop was closed and Yano was nowhere to be found so Kenoh decided to start a livestream on his YouTube channel and complain about the whole thing.

DDT “DDT MY LOVE 2026”, 03/06/2026
Shinjuku FACE

3. Junta Miyawaki Three Match Trial – Match 2: Junta Miyawaki defeated Kazuki Hirata with a School Boy (10:56).
4. MAO & Yukio Naya (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Jun Akiyama & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when MAO pinned Matsunaga after the Charge Love Heart (9:43).
5. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki defeated Viento Maligno with a Modified Butterfly Lock (11:25).
6. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai defeated Daichi Sato, To-y, Yuni & Yuki Ishida when Honda pinned Yuni with a Samson Clutch (19:36).

It turns out there was more background to the Shinya Aoki Vs Viento Maligno match than I first thought. Before the King Of DDT tournament began, Aoki allegedly made a prediction that Maligno would unmask and compete in Best Of The Super Jr. so both of them could have a match between tournament winners. Aoki lived up to his end of the idea which is why after he won King Of DDT he called out Maligno and told him everybody knows what he is doing. They had a match today where Maligno tried to counter the Aoki Clutch but Aoki switched over to a Modified Butterfly Lock to make the luchador give up. He then ripped the mask off Maligno’s face to reveal it was Keigo Nakamura the whole time! Nakamura admitted his real identity and explained that he couldn’t adapt to wrestling in Mexico during his excursion. Even now he does not know who he is and his confidence has disappeared after he saw how all of his juniors have surpassed him. However he still gets support from everybody in Strange Love Connection and he wants to become stronger by being with them. Aoki asked him what will he do from now on and who does he want to fight? Nakamura put the mask back on and will continue to wrestle as Viento Maligno because he’s hit rock bottom has nothing else to lose.

The opening match was officially Sanshiro Takagi’s return to action in DDT (as long as you ignore Super Japan). He feels so reenergised from his time off that he asked for the match to be Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls with no time limit applied. The 37KAMIINA agreed and quickly tried to injure him again. However he blocked Shunma Katsumata’s Totonou Splash and then Cradled him to win the first fall. He then declared the 2nd Fall would be Falls Count Anywhere. For the next two hours Takagi, Akito, Yuki Ueno and Katsumata brawled all over Shinjuku FACE and even outside on the street. Since the action was happening away from ringside, DDT decided to go on with the show and it wasn’t until the very end when the opening match returned to the ring and Takagi pinned Katsumata again to win the match in two straight falls.

Takagi said this comeback could not have been possible if it wasn’t for the other wrestlers in the match and he is feeling super pumped about winning. He’s been cheating on DDT a little bit with Super Japan but he thinks DDT is the best and he is super motivated to wrestle here again. There is one guy in particular he wants to wrestle again to reignite his passion even more. It is MAO, who he hasn’t fought against one on one since 2019 in New York! He challenged MAO to a singles match on 28th June. MAO agreed and blamed Takagi for making him the wrestler he is today. So all of the times he tried to run Takagi over with a car is really Takagi’s fault.

Junta Miyawaki’s trial through DDT’s roster is going well with two wins out of two matches so far. He fought and danced with Kazuki Hirata until Hirata was too spent to continue. Before he could be beaten, Hirata got on the microphone and reminisced about the times back when Miyawaki was a NOAH trainee when they would hang out and eat meals together. He couldn’t continue so he asked Miyawaki to complete the dance by himself but it was only so Hirata could roll him up for a nearfall. Miyawaki countered by putting the Hirata GO! glasses on Hirata’s face, forcing him to dance and be vulnerable to be pinned with a School Boy. Afterwards Miyawaki was informed by Hisaya Imabayashi that the third and final match of his trial will happen on 10th June. It will be against Danshoku Dieno! With that announcement, Dieno entered the ring carrying his pet dog Haku in a protective bag. Miyawaki asked if this is a mistake because Dieno is tougher than any other opponent he could imagine. He promised to give it his all becaue this is a once in a lifetime match for him.

A win in the 3 Way Trios match prompted DAMNATION T.A to challenge paleyouth for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles afterward. Ilusion said his unit is filled with belt collectors and if they take those titles from paleyouth they would then have 10 belts in their collection (DDT Extreme Title with Hideki Okatani, O-40 Title with Daisuke Sasaki and the group has the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles which currently makes seven). Ilusion said the challenging team will be himself, MJ Paul and Sasaki once he comes back from New Japan. The challenge was accepted and will take place on 21st June in Nagoya. Ilusion later made fun of paleyouth being full of old people because only Daichi Sato is younger than him. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku didn’t appreciate being Ilusion calling them old geezers.

A contract signing for the KO-D Tag Team Titles match between FANTÔMES DRAMATIC and The 37KAMIINA took place at the start of the show. One of the challengers To-y unexpectedly announced he is from the future where he wins the title with Yuki Ueno and builds a castle as the Prince Of Nagoya. Chris Brookes lost his patience and kept rushing To-y to finish up his story so the show could continue. To-y ignored him and tried to get Ueno to play along that they are the champions from the future and it is they who are defending the belts instead of Brookes & HARASHIMA. Both Ueno and HARASHIMA tried to keep things on track but Brookes is clearly becoming fed up with To-y’s quirky personality.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2026 FINAL!!” Results

May 31, 2026

DDT “KING OF DDT 2026 FINAL!!”, 31/05/2026

*V4 for paleyouth.
7. King Of DDT – Final: Shinya Aoki defeated MAO with the Aoki Clutch (17:20).

Shinya Aoki can now add his name to the list of quite frankly eccentric list of names to have won the King Of DDT tournament! His fighting style proved to be the most dominant throughout the bracket and tempted MAO into playing Aoki’s gameplan instead of his own in the final. Aoki then pulled out something different by using a Spinning Headscissors to throw MAO out of the ring so he could follow up with the Topé Suicida. MAO tried rolling up Aoki into cradles like the Japanese Leg Roll and the Crucifix Pin but that backfired big time when Aoki caught him in the Aoki Clutch, getting the three count and crowning himself the tournament winner.

As Aoki was receiving his trophy he started calling out to an unexpected member of Strange Love Connection. Aoki yelled at Viento Maligno to get in the ring and stop his nonsense because everybody knows what he’s doing… Maligno simply made a big “Wooooo” noise into the microphone before rejoining SLC and walking back to the locker room with them. Due to this interaction taking place, DDT later decided to book a singles match between Aoki and Maligno for 3rd June at Shinjuku FACE.

Aoki then declared his challenge to Yuki Ueno for the KO-D Openweight Title. He likes Aoki and said he is like family to him. But the more Aoki likes his opponent, the more power he unleashes on that person so he asked Ueno to be the very best he’ll ever be for the title match. The match is made for 28th June and Aoki promised to live his life to the fullest until then so he can beat Ueno. The champion remembers losing the KO-D Title to Aoki back in 2024 and does not want to repeat that. He is going to give his friend so much in the match that Aoki won’t be able to handle it!

MAO’s place in the semi final was secured when he defeated Danshoku Dieno earlier in the show. Dieno unleashed his full Danshoku power early but MAO expertly countered the attack by Kancho poking him up the backside. MAO then fought fire with fire by using the Lip Lock until Dieno overpowered him with the same move. The Danshoku Claw to the crotch couldn’t hold MAO back forever and he kept fighting even when the back of his tights were pulled down by Dieno for pinning leverage. A number of different strikes from MAO took their toll on Dieno and he was put down with the Iai Kick, bringing his spirited tournament run to an end.

The last time Aoki fought Minoru Suzuki in DDT, the DDT Universal Title was on the line and Suzuku pummeled his opponent into a KO victory. The rematch here was more grapple heavy this time with Suzuki and Aoki trying to bend whatever part of the opponent’s body they could grab onto. Suzuki avoided the Aoki Clutch but that isn’t the only move in Aoki’s arsenal. He switched over to a Modified Armbar that then turned into the European Clutch that kept Suzuki pinned down for the victory!

It was Yuni’s time to step up and do his part to make NωA Jr. the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions again. paleyouth didn’t see things that way because they still have things to do as champions, things that NωA Jr. couldn’t even scratch when they last held the belts. The challengers almost overwhelmed Takeshi Masada with their numbers. He was able to German Suplex Shunma Katsumata away but took a Canadian Destroyer from Kazuma Sumi and then the Messiah DDT from Yuni. Masada brought things to a halt for Yuni by giving him a Middle Kick and planting him with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki to retain the titles. After the match Daichi Sato said he was happy to have a tough title match with Yuni because they are near the same age. Yuya Koroku called Yuni a brat but also admitted he has incredible determination. paleyouth then said they are two defences away from tying the record for most KO-D 6-Man Tag Title defences and three more away from breaking it. Backstage Katsumata talked about how Yuni struggles the most out of D GENERATIONS because everyone else has achieved their own thing while he was focused on his university exams. He hopes today will be a turning point for Yuni because he can offer something unique to DDT just like how everyone else has their own thing.

The addition of YUZUKI to SLC hasn’t instantly paid off with success yet. She assisted the team by attacking Antonio Honda with a whip after he got sent outside the ring. Honda deserved it for being rude towards Maligno at the start of the match. He loudly shouted “Who are you?” while fighting him. HARASHIMA and Yukio Naya fought to a stalemate so Honda tagged in. He then tripped and tried to tell a story about his town being filled with kids who ring doorbells in the middle of the night and run away before he can answer them. KANON then blocked the Gongitsune attack and redirected Honda into striking his own partners. Chris Brookes saved Honda from being pinned by throwing a towel at Maligno and ended up pinning Maligno himself by using the Praying Mantis Bomb.

Kaisei Takechi’s big return from appendicitis ended right when it started. Yuki Ueno immediately threw To-y out of the ring and made Kazuki Hirata tap out to a Crab Hold without Takechi needing to do anything. Hisaya Imabayashi blew a gasket because the big star’s return was ruined. Takechi calmed things down by saying everyone in DDT is a star, including Hirata because of his dance skills. Takechi then encouraged everyone to restart the match so Hirata can show why he shouldn’t be giving up so easily. Imabayashi was touched by Takechi’s humility and allowed the match to restart. This time To-y & Hirata both put on a better fight together and Takechi got to dance with Hirata despite Ueno’s hatred of it. Ueno was briefly knocked out by his own partner so the dance could go ahead. Hirata tried to sneak attack Takechi during the dance but paid for it by taking the BREAK IT DOWN and take the losing fall again.

After the match Takechi told the fans he had to miss the King Of DDT tournament due to his illness so he is going to clear his schedule, get into shape and work hard so he will get to take part in it next year. Ueno then announced he will be holding a show at Korakuen Hall on 13th September to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of his debut. He promised to show everyone the DDT he’s been able to cultivate over the last 10 years. Takechi asked to be a part of it so Ueno is thinking about making him team up with Hirata. As for Ueno himself, he later brought up wanting to have a match against Katsumata on the show.

Momentum is looking to be on Junta Miyawaki’s side as he heads toward his DDT Extreme Title challenge against Hidaki Okatani. The heavy threat of MJ Paul was extinguished by Naomi Yoshimura and Miyawaki ducked under a bamboo stick swing, causing Okatani to hit Ilusion over the head instead. With Jun Akiyama’s help, Miyawaki gave Okatani a Swinging DDT before pinning Ilusion with the Sunshine Driver.

The dark match was changed on short notice because Rukiya’s neck is acting up and he wasn’t able to wrestle today. Akito took his place and teamed up with Hinata Kasai in a losing effort against Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuki Ishida. Kasai came close to winning but was stunned by Ishida’s Ensho and was then pinned with the Leg Scoop Suplex.

For the third time in weeks, Super Sasadango Machine approached Dieno asking him to be part of his team for the DDT Vs New Japan show happening in one week’s time. He met him in the ring at the end of the show, pointing out that King Of DDT is now finished and Dieno should now be completely free to help Sasadango out. If Dieno refused then Sasadango would do the unspeakable and reveal to everyone Dieno’s shoot name! Dieno’s response is it’s not the right time for him to do Sasadango’s show because the World Cup begins three days afterwards. Dieno wants to watch all of the late night games coming up so he needs the few days before that to save up on his sleeping habits. Sasadango begun to cry because he couldn’t believe Dieno would sit by and watch his beloved DDT get trampled by New Japan. As much as the show is being built around friendly competition, it is really a war that DDT cannot afford to lose! He threatened to bring Dieno to court where his real name would be exposed but Dieno told him to calm down so they can talk again later.

There is currently a brief break for the Best Of The Super Jr. tournament so Daisuke Sasaki was in attendance for today’s show. He was too embarrassed to talk because he currently has a losing record so he whispered his message into Imabayashi’s ear. Imabayashi encouraged Sasaki not to give up because he still has a chance to win his block if he wins his remaining matches. The GM then revealed one of Sasaki’s opponents for his tag match happening at “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” on 11th August. It’s Antonio Honda! Imabayashi then revealed that DDT has not made a decision for who Sasaki or Honda’s tag partners will be. Instead it will be up to them to look into their connections and decide for themselves. Since DDT is holding a competition for fans to guess what the match is, Honda said he is going to pick someone who will surprise everybody. Sasaki on the other hand said his pick won’t surprise anyone.

Soma Takao announced his return match will happen on 28th June. He has been on the shelf with a left knee injury since January and is thrilled to be making his comeback soon. He said there are quite a few new DDT fans who only know him as the manager of the Dropkick Bar so he is excited for them to see him wrestle for the first time.

DDT will be holding a pro wrestling event attached to the Kumagawa Railway in Kumamoto on 22nd November. The Kumagawa Railway has been under repairs due to storm damage ever since the summer of 2020. This year those repairs will be completed and it is scheduled to finally reopen this September. DDT is celebrating the occasion by holding two matches to take place inside the train along with an actual wrestling show taking place at the journey’s destination Yunomae Station.

DDT “EARLY SUMMER BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026” Results

May 26, 2026

DDT “EARLY SUMMER BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026”, 26/05/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Hideki Okatani & Ilusion defeated Yuya Koroku & Hinata Kasai when Ilusion pinned Kasai with the Swanton Bomb (9:37).
2. 5,000 Yen Allowance Limit Weapons Allowed Death Match: Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida (w/ Ryota Nakatsu) defeated MAO & Kazuki Hirata when Sumi pinned Hirata with the School Boy (13:54).
3. Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato defeated Antonio Honda & Junta Miyawaki when Masada pinned Honda with a Modified Oosui Suplex (10:45).
4. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Rukiya with the Somato (11:39).
5. Shunma Katsumata, To-y & Akito defeated KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO) when To-y pinned Maligno with the Running T・O・Y (11:58).
6. Special Rules Drunk Match: Danshoku Dieno & Yoshihiko defeated Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes when Yoshihiko pinned Brookes after the Combined Gaydo Clutch (34:00).

Having a Beer Garden show means everybody goes there to get drunk, right? Not always. Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes made a request for today’s main event to be a Drunk Rules match. However Danshoku Dieno is currently avoiding alcohol for his health and refused to be irresponsible about it. Hisaya Imabayashi agreed it would be a bad move for DDT to force one of their wrestlers to drink when they do not want to and came up with a compromise. A Drunk Match would go ahead for Ueno and Brookes but Dieno would be allowed to drink cola instead when prompted to. Yuki Ishida was also permitted to drink on Yoshihiko’s behalf. The wrestlers would have to drink after every kickout, rope break or if music suddenly played during the match. Dieno brought Yoshihiko up to the top of a ladder while everybody held it steady for their safety (a hot topic in puroresu this week due to the same actions happening at the Best Of The Super Jr.) until Brookes decided to topple Yoshihiko over. A brawl around the arena also resulted in Yoshihiko diving off of the top of the lighting rig. Dieno drinking cola instead of alcohol brought up an unintended consequence of needing to use the bathroom so he had to abandon his tag partner for a while. When he returned armed with toilet paper, Dieno had to fight off Ueno & Brookes on his own until Yoshihiko reappeared wrapped in empty beer cans and diving into the ring. Brookes tried to force Dieno to drink alcohol but Dieno used the Lip Lock to pass the drink over to Ueno. He then made Ueno and Brookes Lip Lock each other then attacked Brookes to make him spit out the beer. Dieno & Yoshihiko then applied a Double Gaydo Clutch on Brookes to win the match after over half an hour of mayhem. After the match Dieno showed regret and admitted he may start to hate DDT’s beer garden shows. However Ueno told everybody they can still enjoy the show without the need for beer, just make sure you don’t drink as much cola as you would alcohol. Dieno wasn’t convinced by Ueno’s drunk ramblings.

After HARASHIMA won his match, he announced to everyone that he and his wife recently welcomed their second child into the world.

For the 5,000 yen weapons match Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida pooled together their money to hire Ryota Nakatsu as their weapon.

9. Double Main Event I – Shosho Kogyo Presents Special Tag Match ~ Infinite Stimulation Anniversary: Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes defeated HARASHIMA & Shinya Aoki when Brookes pinned HARASHIMA with a Modified Samson Clutch (16:44).
10. Double Main Event II – Special Tag Match ~ A Ruthless Giant That Blocks The World Guide Us To Our Dreams Blooming Flower: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Yuki Ueno defeated Jun Akiyama & Shuji Ishikawa when Takeshita pinned Ishikawa with the Raging Fire (22:29).

For the second year in a row, Yukinori Matsui’s annual Osaka show was headlined by Konosuke Takeshita & Yuki Ueno teaming up together. This time around they took on a more honorable set of opponents, Jun Akiyama & Shuji Ishikawa. Although as soon as Takeshita and Ishikawa face off to start the match, Ishikawa quickly knocked down his opponent with a big Elbow Strike. He also gave Ueno a Giant Swing outside the ring throwing his into the front row of abandoned chairs. Akiyama also wrestled more aggressively but Takeshita launched a comeback that included giving Ishikawa a Superplex. He combined the Jumping Knee with Ueno’s Dropkick to knock over Ishikawa and then Ueno did a Moonsault onto Akiyama outside the ring. Ishikawa was able to kick out of the Wagamama but Takeshita lifted him up for the Raging Fire and dropped him back down to get the win. Both Takeshita & Ueno showed their gratitude to Matsui after the match.

The other big match for the show involved Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes teaming up again as SchadenTekkers (with matching purple gear between them) to take on HARASHIMA & Shinya Aoki. It would be the first time Sabre and Aoki got to wrestle each other. That confrontation was not enough to determine who was beter. Instead Brookes got the result by pinning HARASHIMA with a Samson Clutch. Aoki wished he could have gotten to fight Sabre for a little longer. Sabre suggested they have a singles match together the next time they meet. He also called Aoki one of the best submission wrestlers he has ever fought.

A ringside chairshot from Dick Togo stunned Shunma Katsumata and left him vulnerable to Hideki Okatani to finish him off.

KANON was made into the target of everyone’s comedy in Match #6. That meant he was the one tricked to hop in the air while nobody else joined him. MAO and KIMIHIRO then got into dueling Figure 4 Leg Locks with Kuishinbo Kamen & Kikutaro, leaving KANON out in the cold. When the four of them all got caught in the holds, KANON simply rolled them all over so he could put both Kamen & Kikutaro in a Camel Clutch. He got both of them to then give up. He doesn’t understand why he had to go through that in Osaka today but he admitted it was fun.

Kyoto indie wrestler Hiroaki Taniguchi came in as a substitute for the injured Masami Inahata in Match #5.

The mixed rules fight between Bushimasa and Tyson Maeguchi was a two round contest. The first round was MMA rules that lasted for three minutes. Then the second round was Tyre Boxing Rules where a tyre was placed in the middle of the ring and they had to fight while keeping one foot each inside the tyre hole. Maeguchi punched Bushimasa out of the tyre three times to earn a TKO style victory.

Ilusion had something of a trial by fire in his match. He often got himself isolated away from Magnitude Kishiwada & MJ Paul then had to find ways to get to safety. However he successfully Low Blowed both CIMA & Akito while Kishiwada took care of Yasu Urano. Ilusion then got the last laugh by getting the pin with the Swanton Bomb.

The 4 Vs 1 Handicap match had to be restarted because Hisaya Imabayashi wasn’t happy to see Yuto Kikuchi win it so easily. Kikuchi ended up giving him a Low Blow late in the rematch before winning again the second time.

It was a packed house for the show but that caused a little bit of a problem. While Sanshiro Takagi was giving the show opening speech, Keiko Takeshita (Konosuke’s mom) was seen walking around the venue looking for her seat. Takagi and Imabayashi invited her into the ring to say hello to the fans but she ended up attacking them with chops to the chest instead. Matsui tried to stop her because she was ruining the start of his show again just like last year. She gave him the Rainmaker and finished off the opening call by herself.

DDT “YACCHINA FIGHT 2026” Results

April 25, 2026

DDT “YACCHINA FIGHT 2026”, 25/04/2026
Yokohama Radiant Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Shinya Aoki defeated Rukiya with the European Clutch (9:42).
2. Kazuki Hirata & Naomi Yoshimura defeated Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda when Yoshimura submitted Honda with a Side Headlock (0:02).
2a. 1 Vs 3 Handicap Match ~ No Tag Rules: Naomi Yoshimura defeated Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda when Yoshimura submitted Hirata with the Anal Side Headlock (8:53).
3. No Tag Rules: MAO, KANON, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno defeated Kazuma Sumi, Junta Miyawaki, Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Yuni & Yuki Ishida when MAO pinned Yuni with the Totsugeki Love Heart (12:44).
4. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Akito defeated Daichi Sato & Masami Inahata when Ueno pinned Inahata with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (15:46).
5. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Hideki Okatani, Minoru Fujita & MJ Paul defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Hinata Kasai when Okatani pinned Kasai with the Skewer-Style Claymore (12:47).
6. paleyouth Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku when To-y pinned Masada with a Frankensteiner (16:53).

Recently Takeshi Masada stuck two of his fingers into To-y’s mouth during a match, causing To-y to gag uncontrollably. Since then Masada has been playing mind games with To-y by sticking his two fingers near his face to make him flinch some more. Shunma Katsumata sacrificed himself by stepping in the way, causing Masada’s fingers to stick into his mouth instead. It was a successful distraction that allowed To-y to pin Masada with a Frankensteiner. He then bragged about how healthy his throat is because he was able to protect himself. Now he is no longer afraid of Masada’s fingers and is ready to fight him at King Of DDT next month. He later noticed how much Katsumata was gagging and promised to get revenge on Masada for him. While all of that is going on, Yuya Koroku is staying focused on wrestling Hideki Okatani next month both in the tournament and in a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match.

With Daisuke Sasaki still abroad and Ilusion out injured, DAMNATION T.A called upon their former member Minoru Fujita to help fill their ranks on short notice. Also Okatani stepped up to more of a leadership role and sent a message to the absent members that he will win the King Of DDT for them, He told Sasaki to enjoy the rest of his stay in America and Ilusion to get better so he can come back and get revenge on Chris Brookes for hurting him. HARASHIMA was reminded from today’s match how dangerous MJ Paul can be and learned to be careful of him for the upcoming KO-D Tag Team Titles match.

Yuki Ueno praised both Daichi Sato & Masami Inahata after their match and encouraged the both of them to get stronger. Inahata declared that some day he will crush Ueno!

The Totsugeki Love Heart is a Choke Slam/Crucifix Pin combo used together by Yukio Naya & MAO. With King Of DDT coming up, MAO reminded Kazuma Sumi who it was that made the DDT Universal Title valuable in the first place. MAO thinks Sumi will have to surprise him in order to beat him.

The big news regarding King Of DDT coming out of today’s show is the big draw will no longer be taking part! Kaisei Takechi was recently diagnosed with an acute appendicitis and had to pull out of the tournament. This was announced at the start of the show and DDT promised to announce his replacement as soon as it was decided on. Then at the end of the show Hisaya Imabayashi revealed that Kazuki Hirata is taking Takechi’s spot! Hirata said he was about to go on holiday to Okinawa tomorrow and was angry about the news but then he thought about all of the people who are upset over the cancellation of Takechi versus Danshoku Dieno, those two in particular being the most disappointed of all. Hirata knows how difficult it will be for him to just get out of Round 1 but if he beats Dieno, he wants Takechi to promise him they can take a picture together of them wearing their entrance robes.

DDT “ROAD TO KING OF DDT 2026” Results

April 22, 2026

DDT “ROAD TO KING OF DDT 2026”, 22/04/2026
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul defeated Naomi Yoshimura & Akito and Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Okatani pinned Hirata with the Skewer-Style Claymore (10:28).
2. Junta Miyawaki Three Match Trial – Match 1: Junta Miyawaki defeated Antonio Honda with a Rolling Cradle Hold Counter (11:11).
3. Special 8-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON, Yuki Iino & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Kazuma Sumi, Kumadori, Rukiya & Hinata Kasai when Iino pinned Kasai with a Lariat (11:38).
4. Special Tag Match: Minoru Suzuki & HARASHIMA defeated Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida when Suzuki pinned Ishida with the Gotch-Style Piledriver (13:43).
5. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Shinya Aoki, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku, Daichi Sato & Masami Inahata when Aoki pinned Inahata with the European Clutch (13:15).
6. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes defeated Ilusion with the House Piano Death (18:51).

With just under two weeks to go until the King Of DDT begins, but there is also the KO-D Tag Team Titles match happening before then. With Daisuke Sasaki still in America, Ilusion took it upon himself as the new “leader” of DAMNATION T.A to go fight Chris Brookes. He demanded their match be Falls Count Anywhere and they went on to brawl all over the venue, only to be intimidated back down to the ring by Minoru Suzuki for getting in his way backstage. Ilusion put Brookes through a table with the Coffin Drop but then crashed through a pile of chairs when he missed the Swanton Bomb from the stage. Brookes took him back to the ring and twisted him into submission to win the match. He admitted that Ilusion has gotten stronger since the last time they had a singles match against each other two years ago. Ilusion thanked Brookes for fighting him today but promised to get revenge on him thousands of times over by winning the KO-D Tag Titles on 1st May.

Suzuki got to survey some of the field by fighting with HARASHIMA against Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida. He will be facing Naya in the first round and mocked him before the show by calling him a clumsy flop when he originally debuted. Naya retaliated by saying he is putting his entire body on the line to become DDT’s best heavyweight. Suzuki’s response to that is that wrestling is about more than just size. He has travelled the world barefoot and understands that size by itself does not give wrestlers an advantage or disadvantage. He went on to show that off today by using the Sleeper Hold on both Naya and Ishida, giving both wrestlers a similar experience before he pinned Ishida with the Gotch-Style Piledriver.

A three match journey has been given to Junta Miyawaki for him to truly understand what DDT is during his stay here. First up he fought Antonio Honda and the two agreed to have a fair fight. Miyawaki put his best foot forward by constantly saving Honda from falling over and injuring himself. However it came at a cost of Miyawaki injuring his own knees instead. Honda encouraged him by getting Miyawaki to join in on the Gongitsune joke before attacking him by the knees. Miyawaki was able to kick out of the Tenzan Tombstone Driver and block Honda’s Rolling Cradle to win the match by the skin of his teeth. He was then told by Hisaya Imabayashi that the second match in his trial will be against Kazuki Hirata on 3rd June.

DDT “MOTSUNABE BUSTER” Results

April 18, 2026

DDT “MOTSUNABE BUSTER”, 18/04/2026
ACROS Fukuoka
??? Fans – Unannounced

2. 10,000 Yen For A 3 Count Pinfall Against Hisaya Imabayashi: Hisaya Imabayashi defeated Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku and Danshoku Dieno & Akito when Imabayashi pinned Dieno with a Jackknife Pin (6:35).
3. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ishida & Kumadori defeated Junta Miyawaki & Hinata Kasai when Kumadori pinned Kasai with the Spinning Senton (7:55).
4. Jun Akiyama & Azul Dragon defeated Yukio Naya & Masami Inahata when Akiyama pinned Inahata with the Exploder Suplex (10:14).
5. DAMNATION T.A Vs STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION!: MAO, KANON & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion when KANON submitted Paul with the Just Cobra Twist (11:51).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda defeated Yuki Ueno, To-y & Yuni when Honda pinned Yuni with a Samson Clutch (15:54).
7. DDT Universal Title: Kazuma Sumi (c) defeated Shunma Katsumata with the School Boy (16:37).
*V1 for Kazuma Sumi.

The show began with Kazuma Sumi and Shunma Katsumata singing together for the NωA Jr. and then ended with the two wrestling each other for the DDT Universal Title. They wanted to get the message across that they are really good friends but when the time came for the main event, they were both focused on beating each other up. Katsumata piled up some chairs outside the ring and gave Sumi a Death Valley Bomb onto it. He also channeled Konosuke Takeshita by doing a German Suplex in a style similar to his. Sumi kept trying to use the School Boy to catch out Katsumata over and over. The plan eventually worked when he used it as a counter to the ¡Hasta la vista! to get the three count. Sumi thanked Katsumata for the match and said so much has happened in the time since NωA Jr. was formed. Whenever Sumi got nervous, Katsumata would always tell him it would be okay and he should go out there to have fun. Sumi thinks that advice is the reason he has made it this far. Although he beat Katsumata today, he doesn’t feel like he has surpassed him yet. He promised he will do that the next time they fight against each other. Until then, he wants to defend the Universal Title against amazing wrestlers from all over the world.

Today was Kumadori’s first time wrestling on one of DDT’s regional shows. He brought along a cue card to read after he won his match. It was simply a message that said he will be at next month’s shows in Hokkaido too.

Special rules were added to Match #2. The GM Hisaya Imabayashi was turned into a target and the first team to pin him would win the match and be given a 10,000 yen reward taken directly out of Imabayashi’s personal account. However if Imabayashi either survived the 10 minute time limit or scored a 3 count pin of his own, then both teams lose and every wrestler in the match would have to give Imabayashi 10,000 yen each. He tried to fight off all comers in the ring at first but was overwhelmed by the constant attacks. However he countered the Danshoku Driver into a Jackknife Pin to score the fall on Danshoku Dieno to beat the odds and win the match by himself.

Even when Ueno tried to counter attack with high risk dives out of the ring and also from the top of the entrance to one of the seating sections. Iino caught him after that one and slammed him onto the floor before doing The Apex Elbow. Back in the ring Iino used his power to slam his way out of the Blackout Sleeper and then brought back the Bubba Bomb to set up a low angle Spear for a nearfall. There were more Spears dealt by Iino but Ueno wouldn’t stay down for long. Instead once he found the chance to grab Iino in a Sleeper Hold, Ueno fought to keep a hold of it unil Iino lost consciousness to end the match via TKO.

After the match Ueno told Iino he wants them to keep wrestling each other for the KO-D Title over and over whether it happens five years down the line, ten years down the line or even 100 years down the line! Ueno then brought up another Yuki that is in DDT. He turned to Yuki Ishida at ringside and talked about how lost he must be feeling now that Kazusada Higuchi has retired and Harimao disbanded. Ueno encouraged Ishida to give it his absolute all no matter what path he takes, because it will be the right path for him. Once he does, Ueno will look forward to the day Ishida asks him for a title shot. Backstage, Ueno also gave encouraging words about Iino. Iino recently described himself at being at his peak and it will be all downhill for him from here. Ueno disagrees because DDT has HARASHIMA, Jun Akiyama, Sanshiro Takagi and even Gorgeous Matsuno all still going to the best of their abilities that go beyond physical strength, speed and stamina. As for his next title defence, Ueno assumes it will be against the winner of the King Of DDT tournament which is why he is not entering it this year.

Hideki Okatani got what he wanted and then some when he decided to fight Yukio Naya in a Hardcore Table Crash Match. The rules allowed either a pinfall, submission or table break to decide the winner while everything else goes (barring weapons the referee would deem too dangerous). The two attacked each other with chairs and even a keyboard while the other members of Strange Love Connection built a castle of chairs outside the ring. Naya knocked it down by giving Okatani a Giant Swing into it. DAMNATION T.A interfered to stop Naya from winning, allowing Okatani to put his opponent through a table outside the ring with a Sunset Flip Power Bomb to defend the DDT Extreme Title. After the match Okatani told Naya he is truly a monster and the one who is destined to succeed after Higuchi. It is for that very reason that Okatani swears he will do whatever he can to tear Naya down! Naya accepted he lost the match but said he doesn’t have any injuries coming out of it so he will get revenge by beating Okatani in a standard match with regular rules.

We’re going to have to wait a while longer for Hinata Kasai to win his first match. He wasn’t able to do it here when FANTÔMES DRAMATIC challenged paleyouth for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. With Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA doing what they could to neutralize Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato, it came down to Kasai trying to find some way to finish off Takeshi Masada. He put him in an STF but it didn’t work, he punched him with a closed fist to set up a Backslide Pin but that didn’t work either. Masada then quickly used the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki to pin Kasai and ensure paleyouth remain the champions. They were then challenged to a title match by MAO, KANON & Viento Maligno from SLC. That will happen on 2nd May.

When Antonio Honda and YOH worked together at the Super Sasadango Machine Vs Yasu Urano show last year, they ended up discovering they are kindred spirits. Today they met again in the ring, this time as opponents in a wrestling match. YOH cut off Honda from telling a Gongitsune joke until he also hurt his knee and decided to tell one of his own. Honda joined in so they could tell the joke together before getting back to fighting each other. Honda went into the books of Antonio Inoki and Hiroyoshi Tenzan by using their moves to try and win. But YOH fought back and made Honda give up to the Anaconda Vice. YOH told Honda that today he has finally gotten over his fear of foxes so they can do Gongitsune together again, maybe this time in New Japan? Honda loves the idea but is that ever going to happen?

Yuya Aoki made his first appearance for DDT in a long time, mixing it up with a lot of the roster in an 8-Man Tag Match. He started off squaring up with Junta Miyawaki but also got to fight Shunma Katsumata, To-y & Ishida throughout the match. Ishida tried to fight fire with fire against KANON but ended up getting burned. KANON out-Lariated him and scored the pinfall with the GURU-GURU Driver.

The appearance of Kumadori in Match #2 inspired Danshoku Dieno to come up with a special rule. Everyone agreed that Kumadori must spend the entire match inside the ring and he is forbidden from stepping outside! It was already a 3 Way Tag Match so the chaotic layout made it a little easier for him to follow the rule. He also astonished Dieno, Kazuki Hirata and Kazuma Sumi when they all grabbed him by the groin and discovered something was unusual about the size. Dieno fell into a depression until Hirata encouraged him to go into the Hell Gate position. Naomi Yoshimura and Yuni were thrown face first into it but Kumadori blocked it… with his groin. With that taken care off, Sumi put Hirata in a Cross Armbreaker to win by submission. He then told everyone that size doesn’t matter.

Rukiya got to score the pinfall in the opening match by beating the newcomer Masami Inahata. With Jun Akiyama and Akito not being able to get the advantage, Rukiya ended up hitting Inahata with a Running Elbow Butt twice. The first time was a nearfall but Inahata couldn’t kick out of the second. The two still confronted each other after the match.

The dark match was originally planned to be Sanshiro Takagi against Ilusion but Takagi is out of action with facial injuries. Ilusion had to go into the show not knowing who his new opponent would be so he demanded the match should have no time limit applied. Hisaya Imabayashi agreed to it and revealed Ilusion had to fight Yoshihiko! It was a dark match for the ages with dives and cheating galore from both wrestlers. Ilusion got to hit Yoshihiko with a chair while the ref was down and then frame Yoshihiko for using the weapon. He even gave Yoshihiko a Low Blow but couldn’t put it away with the Swanton Bomb. Yoshihiko got revenge by giving a Low Blow back to Ilusion and then scored the win by using the Reincarnation.

6. Special Tag Match ~ Yuni University Entrance Commemorative Match: Shunma Katsumata & Yuni defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Yuni pinned Hirata with an Inside Cradle (13:41).

It’s time for Yuni to be treated like a grown up now he’s in college. He was warned in the main event that Danshoku Dieno would be merciless against him. Shunma Katsumata promised to protect Yuni but Dieno immediately gave Katsumata the Lip Lock and Danshoku Driver to kick off the match. Yuni had to fight Dieno & Kazuki Hirata on his own. Katsumata recovered but then had “Danshoku Water” sprayed over him, making him suddenly target Yuni because he’s so cute! Many DDT wrestlers ran in to make the save only to also get sprayed with the water, making them all obsess over Yuni too. Even Hisaya Imabayashi got sprayed but Yuni took care of him with a Buzzsaw Kick. Hirata opened the spray and poured it into Yuni’s mouth but Yuni passed it back by giving Hirata the Lip Lock. That made Hirata turn full Danshoku and he even put on the Danshoku costume. He tried to give Yuni the Danshoku Driver but it was countered into a Small Package to give Yuni the win. Yuni still had some residue left in his mouth and accidentally swallowed it after the match. It made him obsess over Daisuke Kiso and he chased the ref out of the ring. Katsumata closed out the show and Yuni came back to chase after him too. Yuni claims he doesn’t remember anything that happened after the match ended.

This year’s Beer Garden show began with a more business like presentation with everyone wearing employee suits for the King Of Drunk match. That just meant when it was time to start drinking, all of the wrestlers decided to really get loose. Yuki Iino got so drunk he stripped down to his underwear, causing Rukiya to complain that everyone was getting too rowdy. The problem was he was so drunk he almost threw up and had to go find a restroom. One by one a wrestler would either get eliminated by pinfall or just drop out of the match entirely because they were too drunk. By the end of the match nobody was left in a good state so it had to be called off without a winner decided.

The tag team of Nautilus hasn’t been around together since October 2020. Yuki Ueno talked to Naomi Yoshimura about the nostalgia he felt when he heard their theme song again. He also thinks today’s reunion will help Yoshimura move forward again. Yoshimura said a lot has changed over the last year going back to his return from injury. He’ll do his best to keep improving.

Junta Miyawaki was so excited to take part in his first Beer Garden show. He wanted the 4 Way Match to have drinking rules so everyone could get drunk. However the other participants were all responsible and declined for various reasons, such as needing to drive a vehicle after the show. The 4 Way instead had a rule where only Miyawaki was allowed to drink whenever music interrupted the match. He got so drunk that he only won the match by accident, tripping himself on top of a knocked out Antonio Honda for the pinfall while MAO and To-y were too busy fighting each other to stop it.

There was a contract signing for the DDT Extreme Title match held before any of the matches began. During it Hideki Okatani revealed he will defend the title against Yukio Naya in a Hardcore Table Crash Death Match! It is a Hardcore match that can be won by pinfall, submission or putting your opponent through a table. The two fought in a tag match later in the show where Okatani attacked Naya with his bamboo stick while Ilusion gave Viento Maligno his first pinfall loss. Naya got some payback afterwards by Choke Slamming Okatani through a table set up at ringside. Ilusion got on the microphone next to his prone stablemate anyway and said Okatani will beat Naya on 15th April!

The pre-show press conference also had Ueno and Iino talk about their KO-D Openweight Title match. Iino explained that he is living his life to the fullest every day because he is in the prime of his life right now. Even when he is sitting down he will speak and shout with all of his might. Ueno said he himself has lived in the present more than anyone else for the last six months and he is certain Iino will burn to his fullest at Korakuen Hall on 15th April.
