Battle Of Shin-Kiba, KING OF DRUNK, J-Rod Coming To TJPW, Super Japan Finale

6. Fluorescent Light + Weapon Death Match: Jun Kasai & Tomoya Hirata Vs Ken Ohka & Mizuki Watase

The type of death match for tomorrow’s FREEDOMS Vs Ganbare☆Pro main event has been decided. Lighttubes are the recommended item on the menu but other weapons will be featured too.

GanPro has a secret weapon up their sleeve for the semi-main event. Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase will be accompanied by Nobita as their ringside attendant. Nobita is the nickname of Takahiro Nakayama, a GanPro staff member who was a pro wrestler for a very brief amount of time back in 2014. The FREEDOMS wrestlers had been bullying him around whenever they showed up at GanPro shows, unaware of his background. If Takashi Sasaki & Toru Sugiura are not careful he might decide to start fighting back!

The 3 Way match between Yuki Iino, To-y and Yuki Ishida will have an extra rule banning the wrestlers from doing their trademark catchphrases and poses.

Osaka City Ikuno Ward Community Center

2. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi

Aijin Tag defeated one half of MJ2 in order to win the IRON FIST Tag Tournament. Next they will have to beat the other half to bring the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles back to BASARA.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’25”, 09/11/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs J-Rod

The next wrestler from America has been chosen to go on tour with Tokyo Joshi Pro this November. J-Rod has around three years of experience since graduating from the NJPW Academy in America with Ohio Valley Wrestling being her current most regular promotion. The “Ultimate Athlete” will debut in TJPW on the 1st November show but the big match of her tour will be fighting either Miu Watanabe or Yuki Aino for the Princess Of Princess Title at November’s Korakuen show.

I don’t mind this trend of tag teams getting themselves in line for a future Princess Tag Team Titles shot while the champions still have other challengers to get through. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki have teamed on and off together this year but both are feeling left behind by other wrestlers from their class. The two are taking their team to the next level by challenging the winners of Ober Eats Vs Hot Shot for the titles.

SUPER JAPAN “NEVER MIND”, 29/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Tag Match: MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki Vs X & X
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Kasai & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa Vs Yuji Nagata, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe

The last Super Japan show of the year is being advertised as the season finale of year one. Sanshiro Takagi is so happy with how Yuji Nagata has turned out as his chosen ace that he wants to wrestle Nagata himself. He also wants to team with Munenori Sawa again and expected Nagata to get more plenty of people offering to team with him so Jun Kasai was brought in to even up the numbers. Nagata has both Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe wanting to join his side so the two teams are now set.

Super Japan serves as an alternate take of what DDT could have turned into if Takagi chose that name instead of Dramatic Dream Team back in 1997. In DDT, MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki were more like rivals than partners despite once holding the KO-D Tag Titles together back in 2002. So Takagi wants to see what it would be like if the two of them were a tag team from the beginning instead of opponents. MIKAMI & Sasaki are both curious to find out for themselves as well.

DDT “MISEN 2025” Results

August 16, 2025

DDT “MISEN 2025”, 16/08/2025
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kazuma Sumi when Honda pinned To-y with the Japanese Leg Roll Clutch (10:45).
*Antonio Honda wins To-y’s Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere Arm Cover.
2. Danshoku Dieno, Naomi Yoshimura & Takeshi Masada defeated Soma Takao, Shota & Kazuki Hirata when Yoshimura pinned Shota with the Harai-goshi (10:58).
3. Special Single Match: Akito defeated Ilusion with a European lutch (9:07).
4. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere 3 Way Match: Hideki Okatani defeated Daichi Sato and Yuki Ishida when Okatani pinned Sato with the Skewer Claymore (9:09).
*Hideki Okatani wins the Blue Right To Challenge Anytime Anywhere Arm Cover.
5. Special Tag Match: Jun Akiyama & HARASHIMA defeated Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul when HARASHIMA pinned Paul with the Somato (11:33).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya defeated MAO, KANON & Yuya Koroku (w/ KIMIHIRO) when Higuchi pinned Koroku with the Claw Slam (19:49).

The trio of champions are coming out of the main event all confident that they will defend their titles on 30th August. In fact Yuki Iino is so confident about it he believes Kazusada Higuchi and The Apex will all still be the champions the next time DDT comes back to Nagoya! Yukio Naya joined in by combining The Apex’s catchphrase with Harimao’s. “The Apex, dosukoi! Yeah!”

Two notable things happened over the Right To Challenge Arm Covers today. Hideki Okatani is the latest person to get his hands on one by winning the Blue Arm Cover in a 3 Way Match. When asked about his plans to cash in, he kept quiet and only gave a sinister smile in response. Earlier in the show Antonio Honda pinned To-y in their match to win his RTC Arm Cover. Honda sent something of a warning to Higuchi to start dreaming of him whenever he sleeps because when that dream ends, Honda will be wearing the KO-D Openweight Title belt!

DDT “D GENERATIONS 5 ~UNFINISHED SHACHIHOKO BOYS~” Results

August 16, 2025

DDT “D GENERATIONS 5 ~UNFINISHED SHACHIHOKO BOYS~”, 16/08/2025
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Tag Match: Daichi Sato & Yuki Ishida defeated Takahiro Hiramoto & Masanori Kanu Watanabe when Ishida pinned Watanabe with the Flame Palm (12:13).
2. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Battle: To-y defeated Grand Passion Mask No. 4 with the Kojima Impact (8:06).
3. Ilusion defeated Mikiya Sasaki with a Rope-Assisted Backslide Pin (6:43).
4. Hideki Okatani defeated Ryoma Tsukamoto with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (8:24).
5. Special Single Match: Shota defeated Yuya Koroku with a Crucifix Pin (12:06).
6. Special Tag Match: Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi defeated Yu Shimizu & Ali Najima when Sumi pinned Najima with the School Boy (15:04).

The fifth D GENERATIONS show took place outside of Tokyo for the first time. Everyone instead went over to Nagoya to fight a fresh set of opponents away from the Young Communication side. The main event pitted Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi against the local Sportiva team of Yu Shimizu & Ali Najima. Sumi scored the win for the D GENERATIONS team but Najima demanded a singles match with him afterward.

Shota was the only Young Communication wrestler on the show so he felt the need to be at his best against Yuya Koroku. He used a Crucifix Pin as a counter to Koroku’s Armbar to get the win and is pretty pleased with himself over it. Koroku however said things aren’t over between him and Shota.

Ryoma Tsukamoto briefly gave Hideki Okatani a taste of his own medicine when he choked him with a chain outside the ring during their match. But Okatani got his second wind, gave Tukamoto the Claymore Kick into the corner and pinned him with the Verical Drop Brainbuster.

A similar situation happened with Ilusion in his match. Mikiya Sasaki was also willing to use dirty tactics against a DAMNATION T.A wrestler, mainly using the ropes for leveraging his pin attempts. Ilusion fought back using Low Blows but even then Sasaki would give him a Low Blow of his own by accidentally falling head first into Ilusion’s groin. The damage was too much for Sasaki to bear though and Ilusion pinned him with a Backslide Pin with his own feet on the ropes for leverage.

Grand Passion Mask No. 4 tried to trick To-y during the match by stripping down to his underwear and hiding among the audience in the front row. This included removing his mask and leaving it in the ring for To-y to find and get confused. Passion would then attack him from behind but got the back of his underwear pulled down in the process. To-y would then get his hands on him for a Full Nelson Buster followed by the Kojima Impact to protect his Right To Challenge Arm Cover.

As the summer nears its end Ganbare☆Pro finds itself fighting two different battles.

The latest match to happen is a young generation battle where BASARA’s Takeru Inoue will face off against GanPro’s Shota Kawakami. GanPro are also sending over Keisuke Ishii and Munetatsu Nakamura for matches. Maybe one of them will take part in Daichi Kazato’s 15th Anniversary bout?

They will get one life point for every 10,000 impressions they receive from now until the day of the match. Life points are reduced by pinfall count, making an opponent submit, forcing them to make a rope break and throwing them out of the ring.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Daisuke Sasaki 20th Anniversary Match: Daisuke Sasaki & El Desperado Vs Shuji Ishikawa & Antonio Honda

They bonded over a year’s supply of tequila given to Desperado by the match sponsor so it was only a matter of time before they got to team up.

All but one of the matches on this show have been sponsored by local businesses. I’ll let you see which is the one above that hasn’t been sponsored.

BASARA “BASARA 285 ~CONTINUATION IS POWER~”, 03/08/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Lil’ Kraken & Takeru Inoue Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shota Kawakami

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “FUCKED UP FEST 2025”, 03/08/2025
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR

1. Special Single Match: Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Tatsuhiko Yoshino
2. Special Single Match: MAO Vs K4PY
3. Special Single Match: Takeshi Masada Vs Gabai Ji-chan
4. Special Tag Team Match: Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei Vs Mr. Malo & Mr. Bueno
5. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Kota Sekifuda

We have two special Baka Gaijin + Friends shows coming up in August. The first is the brand’s debut in Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR for the second ever “FUCKED UP FEST”. It will be a festival of wrestling and music that when mashed together results in the name of the show. Kota Sekifuda, Gabai Ji-chan and Tatsuhiko Yoshino are among the guest wrestlers taking part.

Sekifuda tweeted that when he made the decision to go leave Big Japan and go freelance, Chris Brookes was the first person who offered him a booking.

K4PY previously wrestled under the name Takahiro Katori. I think it’s just a fairly recent name change like within the last month or so.

DDT “D GENERATIONS 5 ~UNFINISHED SHACHIHOKO BOYS~”, 16/08/2025
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. Ilusion Vs Mikiya Sasaki
2. Hideki Okatani Vs Ryoma Tsukamoto
3. Shota Vs Yuya Koroku
4. Special Tag Match: Daichi Sato & Yuki Ishida Vs Ryutaro Ono & Masanorikanu Watanabe
5. Special Single Match: To-y Vs Grand Passion Mask No. 4
6. Special Tag Match: Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi Vs Yu Shimizu & Ali Najima

The D GENERATIONS lot don’t have to worry as much about the Young Communication on their next show because it is being held in Nagoya. That means several Nagoya based wrestlers will be facing them instead. Only Shota from the Young Communication generation will be there for a match against Yuya Koroku.

This caught my eye. Ryutaro Ono is a 35 year old CEO of five different companies (among them being related to agriculture, a café and welfare for the elderly and disabled) who only just debuted in pro wrestling for Sportiva Entertainment in May of this year. His tag partner for the match is MMA fighter Masanorikanu Watanabe.

DDT “OSAKA VS TOKYO – DREAM EAST VS WEST PRO WRESTLING BATTLE 2025”, 17/08/2025
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. Rukiya Return Match: Rukiya Vs X
2. East Vs West Vs Unknown All-Out Competition ~ 3 Way Tag Match: Yuki Iino (Tokyo) & Yukio Naya (Tokyo) Vs Chris Brookes (UK) & Takeshi Masada (Osaka) Vs Ilusion (Unknown) & MJ Paul (Unknown)
3. East Vs West All-Out Competition ~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kuroshio TOKYO Japan (Tokyo), To-y (Saitama) & Kazuki Hirata (Tokyo) Vs Danshoku Dieno (Hiroshima), Shigehiro Irie (Osaka) & Mikiya Sasaki (Osaka)
4. East Vs West All-Out Competition ~ Special 8-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi (Hokkaido), Daisuke Sasaki (Tokyo), HARASHIMA (Tokyo) & Antonio Honda (Tokyo) Vs Yuki Ueno (Osaka), Hideki Okatani (Kochi), KANON (Ishikawa) & Kazuma Sumi (Mie)
5. Eastern Army Offer Match: MAO (Miyagi) (w/ KIMIHIRO (Tokyo)) Vs Super Sasadango Machine (Niigata)
6. Western Army Offer Match: Jun Akiyama (Osaka) Vs Miyu Yamashita (Fukuoka)

Two matches on the East Vs West show will focus on just one side of the country. The East side of Japan offers MAO against Super Sasadango Machine. Not bad. But the West side has come up with the utterly cracked pairing of Jun Akiyama Vs Miyu Yamashita! This is before Akiyama’s KO-D Openweight Title match too so if Yamashita somehow pulls out a victory, or maybe even a draw she may end up having an argument for getting a future KO-D Title shot herself!

SUPER JAPAN “SANSHIRO TAKAGI 30TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT ~SUPER JAPAN PRO WRESTLING HATAAGE-SEN”, 19/08/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Yasu Urano Vs Mikiya Sasaki
2. Special Single Match: TAKA Michinoku Vs MIKAMI
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Brahman Yuji, Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei Vs Fuminori Abe, Takuya Nomura & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa

A new face has signed an exclusive contract with Super Japan. But his alter ego should be familiar to a lot of people following this space. Mac Matsushita made debuted as a pro wrestler in Mexico but had a run in DDT and the indies as Maku Donaruto. You remember him, the super perverted Ronald McDonald gimmick? Yeah that’s the guy. Well, Sanshiro Takagi has been trying to get him to ditch the mask to wrestle as himself and he has succeeded in convincing him. Matsushita’s return match in Japan will be on the 19th August Super Japan show.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “MNL”, 22/08/2025
The Social House, Makati, Philippines

1. International Dream Match: Jake De Leon & Isaiah Valencia Vs Chris Bookes & Takeshi Masada

The second Baka Gaijin show of August will be their first time taking the show outside of Japan. Baka Gaijin is heading over to the Philippines as part of a weekend of wrestling put together by Dexcon. The first match announced sees Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada taking on the local pair of Jake De Leon & Isaiah Valencia.

DDT “ROAD TO ULTIMATE PARTY 2024 IN NAGOYA” Results

December 8, 2024

DDT “ROAD TO ULTIMATE PARTY 2024 IN NAGOYA”, 08/12/2024
Aichi Nagoya Imaike Gas Hall
324 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yukio Naya & Takumi Saito defeated Keigo Nakamura & Yuki Ishida when Naya pinned Ishida with the Choke Slam (10:11).
2. Tetsuya Endo & Toru Owashi defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Owashi pinned Hirata with a School Boy (11:23).
3. Special Tag Match: Jun Akiyama & MAO defeated HARASHIMA & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Akiyama pinned Matsunaga with the Exploder Suplex (9:44).
4. Special Single Match: Akito defeated Soma Takao with the Goliath Birdeater (8:36).
5. The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING!: Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku when To-y pinned Koroku with a Frankensteiner (13:50).
6. 10-Man Elimination Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON, MJ Paul, Demus and Ilusion defeated Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi, Antonio Honda, Takeshi Masada & Munetatsu Nakamura (28:05).
6a. Daisuke Sasaki eliminated Antonio Honda by Ring Out (11:44).
6b. Chris Brookes eliminated Demus by Ring Out (13:39).
6c. Munetatsu Nakamura eliminated Ilusion by Ring Out (16:23).
6d. MJ Paul eliminated Munetatsu Nakamura by Ring Out (19:21).
6e. Daisuke Sasaki eliminated Takeshi Masada by Ring Out (19:21).
6f. Chris Brookes eliminated MJ Paul by Ring Out (23:19).
6g. Chris Brookes and Daisuke Sasaki eliminated each other by Double Ring Out (26:42).
6h. KANON eliminated Masahiro Takanashi with the Vietnam Driver II (28:05).

DAMNATION T.A scored one back against SCHADENFREUDE International in the latest match of their feud. It was an Elimination Tag Match and most of the eliminations were from the wrestlers being thrown over the top rope out of the ring. Daisuke Sasaki sacrificed himself to eliminate Chris Brookes by doing a Suplex from the corner to the floor below, knocking both of them out of the match. That left Masahiro Takanashi and KANON as the final two with KANON ending up winning by using the Vietnam Driver II for the only pinfall elimination.

KANON made fun of SCHADENFREUDE for losing their momentum and told Brookes he got what he deserve for having such worthless teammates. Sasaki pointed out he was willing to sacrifice himself for his team even though he doesn’t love wrestling. He wants Brookes to think about the day he goes home to England because Sasaki will never let him come back to Nagoya! Sasaki later said when he wins the KO-D Openweight Title he will spend New Year’s celebrating in Hawaii.

To-y continues to get the better of Yuya Koroku in their matches against each other. He pinned him today with a Hurricanrana just when Koroku thought he had the upper hand. To-y admits he is excited and nervous about the KO-D Tag Team Titles match at Sumo Hall. Just hearing the name Ryogoku makes his heart pound. He told Yuki Ueno it might be love. Has he fallen in love with the Tag Titles? Ueno told him he is showing his full power in every warm up match so far. The more momentum they make, the more intense their excitement will get. Tetsuya Endo told Yuki Iino & Koroku that when they lose twice, they need to win three matches to make up for it. He thinks The 37KAMIINA did not show as much spirit as BURNING did today so the result did not prove who is superior.

There are many wrestlers in DDT who made Akito what he is today. Soma Takao in particular means a lot to him because he is from the same generation. Neither of them currently have a championship but their generation can still fight whether it’s together as a team or as opponents. He then told Takao he can go home. Takao left the ring telling everyone “I hate that guy.”

At the start of the show Danshoku Dieno and Kazuki Hirata played a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors to decide whose entrance music they would use. Dieno won by using Paper against Rock.
