Both Yuya Koroku & Keigo Nakamura are feeling in good spirits heading into their respective championship matches this Sunday. Nakamura told the fans that the roll up technique he’s been using to win matches will be used to win the KO-D Tag Team Titles from Astronauts and bring the belts back to DDT. He and Koroku also promoted the first “D GENERATIONS” show happening on 8th April.
A few days ago To-y was abducted by a mysterious person backstage after a DDT show. The person was Dr. Ueno and he transformed To-y into Mecha To-y! Together they fought Kazuki Hirata but just like Mecha Mummy, water was its fatal weakness. Hirata spat water into Mecha To-y making it malfunction. Chris Brookes had to place the faulty robot onto a trolley and wheel it back into the locker room.
NωA Jr. continue to use their song performances at the start of the show as an excuse to roll up each other for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. The belt changed hands from Yuni to Kazuma Sumi back to Yuni and then to Shunma Katsumata all within one song.

DDT “NO SPOILERS EVENT VOL. 3 IN UENO”, 01/04/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – NωA Vs NωA Jr.!: Shunma Katsumata (c), MAO & Makoto Oishi Vs Shunma Katsumata (c), Yuni & Kazuma Sumi ended when everybody pinned Katsumata after the Miracle Ecstasy (9:04).
*Yuni becomes the 1,738th champion.
2. Dancing Spirit Tradition Match: Kazuki Hirata (Yuya Koroku) defeated Yuya Koroku (Kazuki Hirata) with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (7:24).
3. Baseball Knuckle Match: Danshoku Dieno defeated To-y when To-y was about to undress (8:13).
4. World Wide Entertainment Match ~ Staggered Entry Battle Royal: Stone Cold Steve Ochinchin Jr. defeated Stone Cold Steve Ochinchin with the Stone Cold Stunner (16:01).
Order Of Elimination: Jibunmadashitakoto Nines, “Mr. Perfect” Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Manmankikind, Pakurimusou, Hanorek Hogaso, The Rockza, Manman Kikeigns, Nerima Sting, Hara Cena, Fukuda Hiroshides, Stone Cold Steve Ochinchin.
5. Partner Match ~ BOYZ Vs YaroZ All-Out Battle: The result is withheld.
Oh God this show is a complete nightmare to figure out. The third edition of DDT’s No Spoilers show had a main event pitting wrestlers from BOYZ taking on wrestlers from YaroZ. However DDT will not reveal what happened in the match and they made every attendee promise not to post anything about it, even though everything else was cleared once the clock reached midnight. Some of the wrestlers did pose group photos backstage and put them on social media though. The BOYZ side seems to consist of Chris Brookes, Yuki Ueno, Takeshi Masada, Akito & Soma Takao all dressed as cops. The members of the YaroZ team I could find were Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Naya, Yuki Ishida & Gota Ihashi. In the middle of it all was bikini model Tena Aoyama. Apparently the two sides were fighting over her.
The World Wide Entertainment match was a Rumble featuring familiar looking wrestlers from around the world. In order of entry we got Hanorek Hogaso (Antonio Honda as Hulk Hogan), “Mr. Perfect” Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi (Hiroshi in his USA gimmick), Nerima Sting (Daisuke Sasaki as Sting), Jibunmadashitakoto Nines (Keigo Nakamura as Seth Rollins), Manmankikind (??? as Mankind), Pakurimusou (Fuminori Abe as Hakushi), Hara Cena (HARASHIMA as John Cena), The Rockza (Keigo Nakamura as The Rock), Fukuda Hiroshides (Hiroshi as Cody Rhodes), Manman Kikeigns (??? as Roman Reigns), Stone Cold Steve Ochinchin (Honda as Stone Cold Steve Austin) and Stone Cold Steve Ochinchin Jr. (Nakamura also as Stone Cold).
To-y requested that his match against Danshoku Dieno would be a Baseball Knuckle Match. The rule is every time they played Rock Paper Scissors during the match the loser would have to remove one piece of clothing. The match would continue until one wrestler lost all of his clothes. To-y entered the match wearing several layers of clothes but Dieno was happy to strip down to his underwear right way. Dieno then went on a winning streak, forcing To-y to eventually strip down to just his own underwear. When Dieno won the final game, the referee ended the match and declared Dieno the winner to save To-y from stripping completely naked in front of everyone.
During the opening of the show Yuya Koroku and Kazuki Hirata got into a fight that made its way into the ring. HARASHIMA was in the middle of the opening speech so he stepped in and told both wrestlers to stop. They agreed and shook each other’s hands but also accidentally headbutted each other in the process. When it was time for the match to happen everyone found out the headbutt caused Koroku and Hirata to swap bodies and costumes! Koroku was now Hirata and Hirata was now Koroku. After doing each other’s spots for the entire match, Hirata (Koroku) pinned Koroku (Hirata) with the Miracle One Shot Cradle to win. They stayed in this state during intermission and it was only when the show restarted when they bumped heads again and swapped back to normal.
NωA was reunited to face the new generation that’s replacing them, NωA Jr. There was a problem because Shunma Katsumata is in both groups so had to wrestle on both teams. The other four eventually got sick of him jumping back and forth so they all fought him together and left him in a defeated mess. Both teams won but since Yuni was directly on top of Katsumata for the pin, he was declared the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. Katsumata wanted to end the segment on a happy note so he convinced both idol groups to perform together. However it was suddenly interrupted when To-y approached them armed with a knife acting like a crazed stalker. Katsumata calmed the situation by talking To-y out of it and they hugged. But as they were about to leave ringside, Yuki Ueno suddenly stabbed Katsumata through his body with an umbrella and left him for dead!
At the end of the show a mystery man snuck behind To-y backstage and injected something into his neck. To-y was left in an unconscious state and hasn’t been seen since. DDT eventually had an update announcing that somebody named Dr. Ueno will be bringing Mecha To-y to DDT on 3rd April!

DDT “NANIWA FIGHTER 2025”, 23/03/2025
Osaka City Miyakojima Community Center
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. JJ Furno defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the 450 Splash (7:44).
2. Toru Owashi & Yukio Naya defeated Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda when Naya pinned Honda after a Anal-gitsune Suicide (8:55).
3. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated Keigo Nakamura, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi when Sasaki submitted Yuni with the Crossface Lock (10:11).
4. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama defeated Akito with an Inside Cradle (8:34).
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Kazuki Hirata & Yuki Ishida when MAO submitted Hirata with an Inside Cradle (15:40).
6. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada defeated Yuya Koroku & HARASHIMA when Brookes pinned HARASHIMA with the Praying Mantis Bomb (16:35).
Emotions were heavy among the wrestlers for the first DDT show since “JUDGEMENT 2025” because Masahiro Takanashi was in all of their thoughts. Chris Brookes in particular struggled to find his groove in the main event. There was a moment when he had HARASHIMA in position to do the Praying Mantis Bomb but he couldn’t go through with using the move. HARASHIMA took offence and slapped Brookes over and over. After being reminded that he is the KO-D Openweight Champion, Brookes snapped back to normal and gave HARASHIMA the Nose-Pinching Chop that Takanashi usually likes to do. He then went through with doing the Praying Mantis Bomb to win the match. HARASHIMA shook his hand afterwards and called him a strong champion.
Antonio Honda took the time after the main event to talk about how glad he is to be a pro wrestler. He is also thankful to be a part of SCHADENFREUDE International calling the last few years the most wonderful time of his life. The unit will continue to fight on with gratitude, respect and prayer. Brookes then turned his attention to Yuya Koroku. He got a little taste of him today and asks to see more of what Koroku is made of in their KO-D Title match on 6th April. He closed out the show with a message for Takanashi. All the wrestlers, fans and his friends are waiting for him in this ring!
MAO and Danshoku Dieno also talked about Takanashi after their matches and passed on their words of support. MAO will be leaving The 37KAMIINA in a week but he is not sad about it. All he can do for Takanashi is go do new things that are fun. Dieno said he will continue to keep his backside sticking out here until the moment when Takanashi comes back.
The NωA Jr. performance at the start of the show had some hitches because Yuni and Kazuma Sumi kept trying to roll up Shunma Katsumata for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title in the middle of the song.
Yukinori Matsui got to promote his upcoming show in Osaka on 17th May. He also welcomed Naomi Yoshimura into the ring to give an update on his return from injury. After his comeback match on 6th April, Yoshimura would like to go wrestle in Osaka again.

DDT “YACCHAINA FIGHT 2025”, 08/03/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Daisuke Sasaki & Ilusion defeated Yuni & Yuki Ishida when Ilusion pinned Yuni with the Swanton Bomb (8:11).
2. Toru Owashi, Soma Takao & Yukio Naya defeated MAO, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Naya pinned Hirata with a Slap To The Back (0:28).

3. Special Single Match: KANON defeated MJ Paul by Disqualification when Hideki Okatani interfered (9:06).
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku defeated Shinya Aoki, Keigo Nakamura & Kazuma Sumi when Koroku submitted Sumi with the Modified Triangle Lancer (10:44).

6. Road To Judgement 2025! Special Tag Match: Masahiro Takanashi & Antonio Honda defeated Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada when Takanashi pinned Brookes with the Bracchus (19:55).
Not long to go now until it’s time for “JUDGEMENT 2025”. Today was the last day for preliminary tag matches involving some of the upcoming title bouts happening at DDT’s 28th Anniversary show. SCHADENFREUDE International was split into two for the main event. Chris Brookes teamed with Takeshi Masada while his next challenger Masahiro Takanashi teamed up with Antonio Honda. Takanashi was on the receiving end of CDK style tag team moves this time. Brookes & Masada gave him the Thrust Kick/Piledriver combo that CDK likes to do. However Takanashi kicked out of the pin and all of a sudden trapped Brookes in the Bracchus to score a win over the KO-D Openweight Champion! The message is clear. No matter what Brookes does to Takanashi, Takanashi will take the KO-D Title from him in the end! Takanashi even said after the match that those three seconds are worth more than the six years they’ve been together!
The other prelim match of note is the only time Yuki Ueno and Minoru Suzuki were facing each other before their DDT Universal Title match. At first Suzuki overwhelmed Ueno with submission holds as well as attacks outside of the ring. To-y suffered the same when Suzume brushed off his Chops and knocked To-y down with only one of his own. However To-y rescued Ueno from the Gotch-Style Piledriver, giving Ueno the space to put Akito in the Blackout Sleeper and win by submission. Suzuki told Ueno after the match he isn’t going to give him the usual B-Grade warnings to hype up their title match. Instead he encouraged him to give the fans a more fun and intense match at Korakuen Hall. One that will destroy Korakuen with the combined force of all their might! Ueno admitted today was a painful match but he hasn’t had enough fun yet to give up the belt now.
KANON is now living a life where he has to fight by himself. His match with MJ Paul immediately went sideways because the rest of DAMNATION T.A would attack him at ringside. Part of the attack included Hideki Okatani hitting KANON with a bamboo stick. Ilusion then interfered when KANON put Paul in the Cobra Twist. KANON fought him off and went to finish Paul off when Okatani returned with another bamboo stick attack. He then hit the referee with it causing the match to end in disqualification. Daisuke Sasaki told KANON he is going to teach him a lesson and end him on 20th March. He then broke a chair over his head. Okatani told KANON a powerless guy like him has no choice but to be controlled by DAMNATION T.A. Backstage KANON said he knows better than anyone what they do because he was with the unit for three years. He promised to get revenge on them and kill Sasaki at Korakuen!
Something was off about Hisaya Imabayashi today. When Match #2 ended in seconds like a Kazuki Hirata match usually does, the GM didn’t react to it. Instead he jusy looked depressed. This made the wrestlers all concerned for him so he explained lately he has lost his passion for wrestling. Everyone agreed to have an immediate rematch and make it so exciting that Imabayashi would care enough to get angry again when they eventually ruin it. It took some effort but they eventually helped Imabayashi find his passion again and enter the match to stop their nonsense. He was then quickly incapacitated by Danshoku Dieno’s Hell Gate.
Before NωA Jr. started their musical performance Yuni tried to roll up Shunma Katsumata in a failed attempt to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Katsumata kicked out and after an awkward moment or two the group sang their song like nothing had happened.

DDT “DDT MEET & GREET & FIGHT MARCH”, 06/03/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Yuki Ishida defeated Kazuma Sumi with the Flame Palm (6:32).
2. To-y & Yukio Naya defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Naya pinned Hirata with a Slap To The Back (0:14).
2a. Prevent An Instant Kill! A Death Match Where You Can’t Go Home Until You’ve Eaten All Of The Akagi Nyugyo Style GariGarikun: To-y & Yukio Naya defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when To-y pinned Hirata with the Kojima In Wonderland (15:05).
3. Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku defeated Takeshi Masada & Keigo Nakamura when Koroku submitted Nakamura with the Modified Triangle Lancer (12:51).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Shunma Katsumata defeated To-y (c) by submission (7:21 pm).
*Shunma Katsumata becomes the 1,737nd champion.
It was a cold evening to hold a pro wrestling show outdoors. It was a good thing for the wrestlers that it was a short one as part of the “MEET & GREET & FIGHT” series. In the main event Keigo Nakamura tried joining in with the SCHADENFREUDE International shenanigans and Chris Brookes also interfered to help out Takeshi Masada. However HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku were able to withstand the disadvantage and went on to win the match. Koroku afterward called this team the HARASHIMA Smile Camp and said he is now in great shape for next month’s KO-D Openweight Title match.
As already mentioned, it was cold out today and the wrestlers were effected by it. Match #2 only lasted 14 seconds when Yukio Naya slapped Kazuki Hirata over the back which was enough to pin him immediately. Hisaya Imabayashi was furious over how fast the match was and came up with a punishment. He knows a normal rematch would end quickly a second time so he told the two teams they’re not allowed to win the match until they eat three ice pops. To-y and Danshoku Dieno in particular really didn’t want to eat them and had to force themselves into doing it. Hirata though was in the mood to do a magic trick. He stuck the last ice pop into Dieno’s Hell Gate and when he pulled it back out it had transformed into a chocolate ice cream! He forced Naya to take a bite but To-y then did the same to him before winning the match with the Kojima Impact.
The cold weather came into play again during the photo session held after the show. Shunma Katsumata ambushed To-y and wrapped him up in tape until he was immobilized. Katsumata demanded To-y to give him back the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title but he refused. So Katsumata started force feeding him ice pops until he gave up, which counted as an Iron Man Title change. To-y had to go straight back to the photo session after he was freed.

2. Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling Offer Match: Arisu Endo defeated Shino Suzuki with the Ju no Okite (7:33).

-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: To-y defeated Shunma Katsumata (c) with a School Boy (4:19 pm).
*To-y becomes the 1,736th champion.
To-y continues his unofficial ambassador role for Naraha Town and was the headline act for today’s DDT show in the area. All of The 37KAMIINA were there including Shunma Katsumata who also helps out the town with To-y in an unofficial capacity. They were accompanied by the local mascot Yuzutaro which infuriated Chris Brookes due to his hatred of mascots. He and the rest of SCHADENFREUDE International accepted they were going to be the bad guys after they attacked the mascot and threw the rulebook out the window. He lifted up MAO in a Piledriver position while standing on a cart being pushed around ringside by Masahiro Takanashi & Antonio Honda. He also tried to attack To-y with a chair but Katsumata got into the ring and blocked him, allowing The 37KAMIINA to regroup and get the win thanks to To-y pinning Honda with the Kojima Impact.
To-y was feeling amazing after the match because he never gave up. He thanked the local fans because it was all of them who brought that spirit out of him. They give him energy and he puts it into pro wrestling because that is all he can do. Katsumata started crying because he could not wrestle for the town today. He promised Naraha Town he will be able to have a match here when DDT comes back next year. To-y gave Katsumata a hug and then immediately pinned him with a School Boy to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Katsumata tried to win it back but MAO blocked him because To-y is today’s star of the show.
KANON is still in shock over getting kicked out of DAMNATION T.A. He made his entrance today wearing the unit’s shirt but took it off and stared at it before throwing it away.

*Tetsu Inada becomes the 1,734th champion.
Continuing on from today’s earlier Shinkansen Pro Wrestling match, an 8-Woman Tag rematch of the bullet train bout took place in a more normal environment at Tokyo Joshi Pro’s evening show in Osaka. Raku was coming into the show as the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. She also brought along a bullet train shaped bento box she bought after that match and wanted to eat from it during the main event. Max The Impaler grabbed the box from Raku and gave it over to Pom Harajuku. That made both Raku & Aja Kong furious. Mizuki was still armed with her Pico Pico Hammer from earlier and she jumped off the top rope to strike Max over the head with a mighty downward swing. Kong also attacked Max with the steel can afterwards. Raku saw her moment and went to give Miyu Yamashita the Doctor Yellow but Yamashita countered it into the Attitude Adjustment. She then hit Raku with the Skull Kick for the victory, winning the Iron Man Title from her.
Maki Itoh encouraged Yamashita to pose for victory photos after the match but it was just so Itoh and Yuki Arai could try to roll her up from behind for the championship. Yamashita escaped with the belt and promised the fans she will defend the title for them. However backstage Yamashita was giving a post-match interview when all of a sudden a Rocket Punch flew across the room and knocked her out. It was launched by Sanshiro Takagi and he put the Mecha Fist back on to pin Yamashita for the title. Daisuke Kiso made the three count but declared it was the Mecha Fist that pinned Yamashita, not Takagi. So the new champion is the Mecha Fist! That didn’t last long because Tetsu Inada ran in, pushed Takagi aside and pinned Mecha Fist to win back the championship for himself.
Hyper Misao reminded everyone before the start of Match #5 that Kyoraku Kyomei have won this year’s Max Heart Tournament. She then made Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko mad by asking them if they took part in it this year? She had forgotten they were knocked out in Round 2 and lost their only match in the tournament. Kiryu grabbed the microphone off her and complained about being ran over by Kiryu’s Hyper Mobile three times in the last three months! She dared Misao to wrestle this match without relying on her bike. Misao was able to do just that, although she still used some of her other tricks. Shoko Nakajima hit Kiryu & Neko with a Double 619 and Misao pinned Kiryu with the Hypami Returns.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHINKANSEN JOSHI PRO WRESTLING PRODUCED BY SANSHIRO TAKAGI”, 15/02/2025
Nozomi 343 Departing From Tokyo Station
75 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Falls Count Anywhere 8-Woman Tag Match: Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh, Yuki Arai & Max The Impaler defeated Mizuki, Aja Kong, Miu Watanabe & Raku when Yamashita pinned Raku with the Crash Rabbit Heat Nozomi Special (43:58).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Raku defeated Tetsu Inada (c) by Knockout with the Lullaby (1:20 pm).
*Raku becomes the 1,731st champion.
When DDT held a match inside a travelling bullet train in 2023 it made headlines around the world. So this time Tokyo Joshi Pro wanted in on the action and got Sanshiro Takagi to put the match on a second time.
The train departed from Tokyo Station where Sayuri Namba was on board to start the introductions. When the train arrived at Shinagawa Station, Takagi stepped on board accompanied by Shino Suzuki and Uta Takami. The two of them joined up with Miu Watanabe and Raku so The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) could sing “Upper Kick!” up and down the aisle. However they had technical difficulties midway through. The rest of the wrestlers made their entrances when the train reached Shin-Yokohama Station. Mizuki arrived armed with a Pico Pico Hammer while Aja Kong carried a steel can onboard threatening to rip the bullet train apart!
The match started off with Watanabe and Miyu Yamashita. There was enough room in the aisle for Yamashita to Snapmare Watanabe and follow up with a Soccer Ball Kick. Yuki Arai fought with Mizuki but was chased down the train by Kong. Raku borrowed a cup of ice cream (which has a reputation on the Shinkansen of being served frozen solid) from one of the passengers and hit Arai over the head with it.
As the train was approaching Mt. Fuji, Kong wanted to get a good photo from the window. While she was looking for a good spot, Raku was trying to sing Arai to sleep in the middle of the aisle with towels and a pillow provided. Kong finally saw Mt. Fuji in the distance and stepped on top of Arai so she could lean over and get the best view.
Raku’s lullaby also sent Yamashita & Maki Itoh to sleep so Kong & Raku did the Oyasumi Express on them. Max The Impaler then took centre stage and had a violent pillow fight with Raku. Itoh took over by hitting the 300km/h Kokeshi on Raku and following up with the Cutest Knuckle Punch In The World.
The 121000000 pair started using double team moves until Mizuki attacked them with the Pico Pico Hammer. After that a a chain of multiple Headscissors was formed stretching down the aisle. Itoh then used a Boston Crab to flip the chain over.
A face off between Kong and Itoh then took place. Kong hit her over the head with the steel can but Itoh’s iron head took the blow no problem. Kong then Heabutted her but again she withstood the impact. As Itoh jumped onto Kong’s back to put her in a Sleeper Hold, the doorway opened for the arrival of the ticket inspector. Oh, the inspector is Minoru Suzuki!
When Suzuki saw the fighting going on he threw away the tickets and walked right over to confront the wrestlers. Not because they were causing trouble but because he wanted to show Itoh what a real Sleeper Hold on Kong looks like! He scared everyone off and got into fighting with Kong. Itoh found Mecha Mummy’s Mecha Fist on board and fired a Rocket Punch at Kong. She dodged it and Suzuki got hit instead. Suzuki then attacked Itoh and Kong joined in, causing Takagi to step in and break up the chaos.
Takagi successfully took Suzuki away so the match could continue. Watanabe lifted Itoh up into the Canadian Backbreaker and spun around in circles. Itoh was able to fight back by giving Watanabe the Stunner.
The match broke down into a free for all. Mizuki fought with Arai while Kong and Max were charging down both ends of the aisle to smash into each other in the middle. Their brawl made its way into another train car.
Yamashita targeted Raku with a High Kick. Others stopped her from giving Raku the Attitude Adjustment but she fought all of them off. Raku was left as a sitting duck as Yamashita ran down the aisle and hit her with the Crash Rabbit Heat at the combined travelling speed of 600km/h! Her math is the train was travelling at 285km/h which means the speed she hits the Crash Rabbit Heat reached 315km/h. That put an end to the match with Yamashita, Itoh, Arai & Max as the winners.
The match was finished but the train journey hadn’t completed yet to Yamashita, Itoh & Arai stuck around to talk about their victory. Arai asked if she could go home early because the train hadn’t even reached Nagoya yet. She had fun but it was tough and doing one more match like this would be enough for her. Itoh wanted to know why did Minoru Suzuki get on the train half-naked wearing a tiny hat? She has never seen a perverted train conductor like him before. She also wants TJPW to do more crazy matches in weird locations. She suggested they can go do one in Yamashita’s house. Yamashita refused and said it would be rude to do that without her permission. Itoh then suggested they do the match at Yamashita’s parents’ house. Again Yamashita refused because apparently one time she and Yuka Sakazaki actually had a wrestling match inside somebody’s house and they ended up destroying the place…
The train journey did not end there though. There was a bonus event for VIP passengers involved Arai, Raku & Max. While it was taking place, Tetsu Inada suddenly entered the train asking if he could take part too because he is the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. He was told no by Daisuke Kiso but refused to leave so Raku approached him from behind and started to sing a lullaby. Inada fell asleep right where he stood. Kiso then raised and dropped his arm three times signaling that he was knocked out, meaning Raku is now the new Iron Man Champion!

The next sauna themed show from The 37KAMIINA has its full card with a bunch of sponsorships also applied. The ALL OUT match is going to be as advertised. Akito & Yuki Iino will face new (and improved?) versions of Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata. If it turns out to be Sakura Hirota portraying both gimmicks at once then that’s wrestler of the year for 2025 already wrapped up.
Shinya Aoki has thrown his support behind Keigo Nakamura for the D GENERATIONS CUP. Nakamura might have made it to the final by the time they face off against each other on this show.
As for the 120℃ Temperature match, that sounds like something IWA Japan did for a video tape many, many years ago.
DDT “NEXT GENERATION 2025 ~KISARAGI ROMAN~”, 23/02/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. 3 Way Match: Super Sasadango Machine Vs Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata

3. Special Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno & Koju Takeda Vs Yuki Iino & Yumehito Imanari
4. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – Final: Winner Of A Block Vs Winner Of B Block
How big is the mech Bravern going to be when it stands face to face with Yukio Naya? Could Akito or Soma Takao find ways to trip it down or will they be handled by Yuki Ueno & MAO?
Tetsu Inada will return to DDT as a commentator for this match. The current Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion is a cast member on the anime and has been spending his time proudly showing off the title belt to other voice actors from across the industry. There’s been a couple of title changes in that time that I’ll have to look up when I have the time. Inada is as of this writing the 1,711st champion.
BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 20”, 04/03/2025
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
1. Special Tag Match: Shota & Soma Takao Vs Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi
The next Baka Gaijin + Friends show sees CDK taking on ROMANCE DAWN. It will be a rematch of their “WRESTLE SEKIGAHARA” bout from Ganbare☆Pro back in 2022. ROMANCE DAWN won that one. Can CDK get some revenge on their own home turf?
DDT “JUDGEMENT 2025 ~28TH ANNIVERSARY 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 20/03/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Kazusada Higuchi Return Match: Kazusada Higuchi Vs X
2. DDT Extreme Title: Danshoku Dieno (c) Vs Yuki Iino
3. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Minoru Suzuki
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs X
It’s been confirmed straight from the devil’s mouth. Minoru Suzuki will challenge Yuki Ueno for the DDT Universal Title! The championship itself does not have any particular special value to Suzuki but the fact that Ueno dared call him out for the match has him interested.
M&A “SANSHIRO TAKAGI 30TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT ~MATCHMAKE & AGENT~”, 09/04/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
1. Special Tag Match: Yuji Nagata & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei
The concept for Sanshiro Takagi’s recent 30th Anniversary show worked out so well that he wants to continue doing it, once again without the need for DDT contracted talent to be involved. Thus the creation of MatchMake & Agent Pro Wrestling which Takagi is planning to hold a show once every two months at least up to the summer. He definitely has the vast amount of connections to keep the cards fresh. The first match though is coming out of the anniversary show. Yuji Nagata & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan are teaming together as a pair of “Ikemen” to take on The Brahman Brothers!
DDT “DDT GOES LAS VEGAS!”, 18/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
1. Special Single Match: Antonio Honda Vs Santana Jackson
The first match for DDT’s trip to Las Vegas has been revealed and it sure has left me speechless. Santana Jackson is a Michael Jackson gimmick who regularly goes viral for incorporating Michael’s spots into his wrestling matches. Apparently whenever Japanese fans find footage of him it’s DDT who get the requests to bring him over. Antonio Honda must be looking forward to the match too given how much he loves classic American pop culture.

DDT “THE FORTUNE BATTLE 2025”, 18/01/2025
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. HARASHIMA, Akito, Yuki Iino & Daichi Sato defeated Daisuke Sasaki, KANON, MJ Paul & Ilusion when HARASHIMA pinned Paul with the Somato (12:57).
2. A Match To Remember Kazuki Hirata ~ Scramble Bunkhouse Glasses Rules: Toru Owashi & Soma Takao defeated Danshoku Dieno & Yuki Ishida when Takao pinned Ishida with the Perfect Driver onto the Glasses (9:35).
3. Special Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura defeated Yukio Naya & Yuya Koroku when Nakamura pinned Koroku with the Modified Crucifix Pin (10:12).
4. Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: Yuki Ueno defeated A.YAZAWA with a Miracle One Shot Cradle (11:12).
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & To-y (c) defeated Yuni & Kazuma Sumi when MAO pinned Sumi with the Ultra Big Tone (21:09).
*V1 for The 37KAMIINA.
6. Special Tag Match: Shuji Ishikawa & Jun Akiyama defeated Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada when Ishikawa pinned Masada with the Splash Mountain (18:45).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Tetsu Inada defeated Poison Sawada JULIE by Pinfall (7:41 pm).
*Tetsu Inada becomes the 1,708th champion.
Shuji Ishikawa appreciated getting help from Jun Akiyama to beat SCHADENFREUDE International in the main event. Antonio Honda actually distracted the referee so Chris Brookes could attack Ishikawa with a chairshot to the head. However Ishikawa hit back with a Headbutt to Brookes while the chair was still wrapped around his neck. He then went on to pin Takeshi Masada with the Splash Mountain. As much as Ishikawa would like to celebrate the win with some karaoke, he told the fans he will wait until he wins the KO-D Openweight Title on 26th January. Honda motivated Brookes by telling him he can overcome anything, just like how Honda overcame his lovesickness today to make to the venue in time to try and help him.
When MAO recently used AI to predict how a match between himself and Kazuma Sumi would turn out, it said he would win using a mystery move called the Ultra Big Tone. Today MAO figured out what that move is and he successfully used it on Sumi to defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles! The Ultra Big Tone starts off as a Lifting Reverse DDT and flips over into a Sitout Facebuster. This is all done from jumping off the second rope too. He praised Sumi & Yuni for being tough challengers while being so young. He heard the ultimate goal for NωA Jr. is to someday perform as idols at the Tokyo Dome. He will cheer them on to reach that goal because the previous NωA never could. While they go do that, he will try his best to bring DDT back to Budokan Hall! Meanwhile To-y said the match gave him a taste of what to expect from the D GENERATIONS CUP. He will chew up the competition there before going back to defending the KO-D Tag Titles again.
As mentioned earlier, Honda was dealing with a bout of lovesickness throughout the day that delayed him from making the show until the main event. His scheduled match with Yuki Ueno had to change into something else. Ueno was now put into a Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match against his new opponent A.YAZAWA! The two wrestlers danced along to music while fighting and Ueno unexpectedly powered himself up by putting on a pair of Hirata GO! glasses! With these glasses he quickly learned how to do the Miracle One Shot Cradle and he used the move to beat YAZAWA.
Keigo Nakamura really wanted to test himself against Yuya Koroku even when his tag partner Shinya Aoki had Koroku beaten with the Full Nelson Hold. Nakamura called out to him and demanded to be tagged in. Aoki recluctantly agreed. That idea almost backfired when Koroku put Nakamura in the Chickenwing Arm Lock. But Nakamura was able to counter it with a Crucifix Pin to get the three count. Aoki admitted to Nakamura he thought they were going to lose the match after he tagged in Nakamura and he was only able to win by a fluke. Nakamura argued he didn’t make any mistake because they ended up winning instead.
Hirata was certainly missed by the wrestlers today. His absence due to injury made some of them so sad that Hisaya Imabayashi decided to turn one of the matches into a tribute for him. Match #2 was turned into a Bunkhouse Scramble Death Match with a pair of Hirata GO! glasses placed in the middle of the ring for everyone to fight over. However everybody fought while ignoring the glasses which made the GM angry. Soma Takao eventually picked up the glasses but used them to stab Danshoku Dieno in the backside. Soma didn’t want to wear them at that point so he decided instead to give Yuki Ishida the Perfect Driver onto them to win.
After beating DAMNATION T.A in the opening bout, HARASHIMA said backstage he would like to challenge them for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. He’ll need to find two wrestlers to team with first, which shouldn’t be difficult for him.
The show ended with an unexpected appearance from Poison Sawada JULIE. He came to the venue today annoyed that nobody has come to challenge him for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. His annoyance only grew backstage when several DDT wrestlers declined to fight him because they were busy with other things so Sawada went out to ringside at the end of the show. Sanshiro Takagi and Imabayashi both confronted him but he fought them off using his Snake Magic. Then suddenly the voice actor Tetsu Inada pulled out a mirror and deflected the magic back at Sawada, knocking him out into a petrified state. Inada then pinned Sanada to win the Iron Man Title and Imabayashi ushered him away from ringside. Inada told reporters backstage it was always his dream as a child to become a pro wrestler and win a cool looking championship. He understands the terrifying threat that comes with this title and called out for any voice actors? to come challenge him should they ever see him in the studio!
Before the show began, Dieno held a public contract signing for the DDT Extreme Title match against Gorgeous Matsuno on 26th January. Matsuno was not present for the signing but the two had already agreed to the stipulation. It will be a Life’s Sparkle Match where only a 1 Count Pinfall is needed to win.
