3. Secret Captain’s Fall Elimination 6-Man Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii, Yumehito Imanari (C) & Takuya Wada defeated Ken Ohka, Mizuki Watase (C) & Shingo (18:16).
3a. Shingo eliminated Keisuke Ishii by Ring Out (9:27).
3b. Mizuki Watase (C) eliminated Takuya Wada by Ring Out (12:01).
3c. Yumehito Imanari (C) eliminated Ken Ohka by Ring Out (16:28).

4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) defeated Shinichiro Tominaga with a Dekopin (24:23).
*V2 for Isami Kodaka.

A reunion between two former Union Pro wrestlers was the set up for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title match. Isami Kodaka was Shinichiro Tominaga’s senior in the old company and here he continued treating him as his junior. Tominaga tried fighting back and used his new VIO submission hold as well as the JK but nothing seemed to work. He missed a Moonsault, giving Kodaka back the control of the match. Kodaka left Tominaga for dead with multiple kicks and strikes. Then as a final insult he flicked Tominaga in the face before pinning him to win.

Kodaka said the match was fun afterwards and told Tominaga he should not call himself the “strongest amateur” wrestler. He is the “worst professional” wrestler instead. That was his way of praising Tominaga over how much he has grown since Union Pro. Tominaga said Kodaka and the fans are the only ones enjoying this scene right now and he can’t decide which nickname is better. Kodaka asked who next in Ganbare☆Pro will challenge him for the title? Yumehito Imanari made it into the ring first so Kodaka let him choose the time and place. Imanari was crying at this point because he was so touched by Tominaga’s performance. He wants to face Kodaka for the title on 1st October in Shinjuku FACE.

The point of the Secret Captain’s Fall match was that the captain of each team was supposed to be a secret until they were eliminated. Ken Ohka wanted a fair fight and had no problem admitting to everyone he was the captain of his team. His opponents did not follow his lead and stayed quiet, immediately deciding to attack Ohka instead. However Keisuke Ishii & Takuya Wada were the first two eliminations, leaving Imanari as the last one left in his team, therefore revealing him as the other team captain. He eliminated Shingo and then Ohka but found out Ohka was lying all along! Mizuki Watase was actually the captain of Ohka’s team! Still, Imanari was able to pin Watase with the Lou Thesz Press for the final elimination.

DDT “SHINKANSEN PRO WRESTLING”, 18/09/2023
Nozomi No. 371 From Tokyo Station

1. Falls Count Anywhere Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs Sanshiro Takagi

A meeting was held between Minoru Suzuki and Sanshiro Takagi a few days ago to determine what can and cannot be allowed during their Falls Count Anywhere Match inside a moving bullet train. They were given a set of rules by the railway company telling them they cannot damage the train, cause any delays, disrupt the crew, use any weapons that could break apart into fragments, leave the inside of the train dirty, hit the floor and seating with considerable force, touch the ceiling at all or cause harm to other passengers. Suzuki brought up his previous calculations that he can punch Takagi at 400km/h in the train. He wanted to know if Takagi explodes into bits of meat flying everywhere would that count as making the train car dirty? Takagi answered that if he dodges that punch and Suzuki hits a piece of equipment instead then Takagi wins by DQ.

The railway line also handed out a list of wrestling moves they can permit on the train. They include Lock Ups, grounded submission holds, Chops, Kicks, Body Slams, Brainbusters and Piledrivers. Suzuki pointed out the list is pretty much his usual moveset so he accepts the terms. Takagi however was upset he is now allowed use his own moves like Power Bombs, Lariats and Dropkicks. Suzuki agreed that Takagi can use the Axe Bomber as long as he shouts “Axe Bomber!” beforehand. Last but not least, the two also discussed adding in lunch breaks and toilet breaks if the match goes on too long.

BASARA “BASARA 227 ~UTAGE~” Results

August 29, 2023

BASARA “BASARA 227 ~UTAGE~”, 29/08/2023
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. SAGAT defeated Yasu Urano with the Goregrind (7:50).
2. Lil’ Kraken & Leo Isaka defeated Isami Kodaka & Ryuichi Sekine when Isaka pinned Kodaka with an Inside Cradle (10:37).
3. KUBITO, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato defeated Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Fuminori Abe when Kazato pinned Nakano with the OPA! (8:21).
4. Jacket Match: Gouma Ryu defeated Ryota Nakatsu by Disqualification after Nakatsu attacked Ryu with a weapon (R3 1:04).
5. IRON FIST Tag Team Titles: Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita (c) defeated Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga when Shimomura pinned Oosugi with the Asai DDT (13:35).
*V1 for Sento Minzoku.
6. Union MAX Title: FUMA defeated Takumi Tsukamoto (c) with the Jumping Cross Armbreaker (16:21).
*Takumi Tsukamoto fails in V1. FUMA becomes the 20th Union MAX Champion!

For the first time in three years BASARA held their all you can drink “~UTAGE~” show again in Shin-Kiba 1st RING. In the main event FUMA defeated Takumi Tsukamoto to become a three time Union MAX Champion! By beating Tsukamoto today and also Ryota Nakatsu recently, FUMA now thinks he has gotten revenge for all of his biggest failings in the last few years in his bid to become champion again. There are more wrestlers out there he wants to get revenge on. The first one on his mind is a certain wrestler from Osaka who he has never beaten. His name is Eisa8 and FUMA fought him often under a mask in Okinawa Pro. He is going to see what his own schedule is like next month before he challenges Eisa8 to a title match. BASARA will be in Osaka on 23rd September and FUMA also wants the promotion to run a show in Gunma on 14th October.

Gouma Ryu bribed the referee with money to give him the advantage against Nakatsu in the Jacket Match. It caused the ref to count slowly after Nakatsu knocked out Ryu. The ref was given more money by Ryu on the canvas to stop the 10 count entirely. The ref also fast counted Nakatsu and ignored Ryu using his law book as a weapon. When Nakatsu took the book from him and threatened to hit him back, the ref was bribed into disqualifying Nakatsu entirely.

A big upset in early in the show saw Lil’ Kraken & Leo Isaka win as a tag team for the first time against Sento Minzoku. Isaka ended up dodging Isami Kodaka’s finisher and used an Inside Cradle to pin him for the three count. With this result Kraken suggested they challenge Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita for the IRON FIST Tag Titles on 18th September. Fujita later accepted the challenge. He & Shimomura just beat Speed Of Sounds today so what chance do Kraken & Isaka have?

Daichi Kazato announced that Asian Kung Fu Revolution will be producing the 17th September show.

A tag match built around the different martial arts of each competitor is being put together. Shinya Aoki represents Judo, Yuki Ishida represents (Sumo), Thanomsak Toba represents Kickboxing and Rukiya represents Grappiling.

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Death Match returns to the Beer Garden! When music plays you must dance no matter what! Don’t know why they have faith in Antonio Honda showing up though. He often misses these things and need to be replaced by someone else. What’s A.YAZAWA up to?

Daydream are the only previous champion team involved in the tournament so the final will feature at least one pairing who were never champions together before. However if Kyoraku Kyomei and Daydream both win then that means the final consists of all former tag champions.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO BATTLE GAREGGA ’23” Results

August 11, 2023

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO BATTLE GAREGGA ’23”, 11/08/2023
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
154 Fans

1. Miyako Matsumoto defeated Banny Oikawa with the Reverse Tiger Driver (9:58).
2. Ice Ribbon Offer Match: Ibuki Hoshi & Kaho Matsushita defeated Yappy & Tsukina Umino when Hoshi pinned Umino with the Burning Star (9:13).
3. Sayaka Unagi defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Sliding TANAKA (10:10).
4. Maya Yukihi & Alex Lee defeated Sumire Natsu & Riara when Yukihi submitted Riara with the White Out (18:32).
5. ICEx∞ Title: YuuRI (c) defeated Ami Manase with the Swanton Bomb (18:09).
*V1 for YuuRI.

You’d be forgiven for thinking that the latest Ganbare☆Joshi show was an Ice Ribbon event in disguise. The main event saw YuuRI successfully defend the ICEx∞ Title for the first time by beating Ami Manase. The masked opponent tried to use her sister Yuna Manase’s finisher, the Suzuki Dynamic but YuuRI countered it with a roll up. She then kicked out of a Lariat and built up momentum to pin Manase with the Swanton Bomb.

After the match Ibuki Hoshi entered the ring and declared she is going to win the ICEx∞ Title by the end of the year in order to become the new face of Ice Ribbon. She is happy to see YuuRI do her part as champion to get Ice Ribbon more attention but Hoshi would rather see her be the ace of her own promotion instead. YuuRI disagreed, saying she intends to become Ice Ribbon’s superhero as well as GanJo’s. She accepted the challenge and the two agreed to have their title match at Ice Ribbon’s next Korakuen Hall show on 26th August.

Sumire Natsu & Riara got to have a little bit of fun together when they teamed up for the first time. They messed with Maya Yukihi by pouring champagne over her head, tying her up in the Paradise Lock and posing over her. But Alex Lee took out Natsu with a Super Kick and Yukihi pulled Riara into the White Out to earn a submission victory.

In a match that Yoshiko Hasegawa was looking forward to, she lost to Sayaka Unagi. Afterwards Hasegawa admitted she is now firmly in the No. 2 position when it comes to GanPro so her goal now is to fight and become No. 1! Unagi encouraged her, saying that she too hasn’t been able to win her important matches even one time. It does not matter if you are strong or weak as long as you fight for your life with everything you have. That’s why Unagi has made her own goal of beating the likes of Minoru Suzuki, Atsushi Onita and Ken Ohka! Then once she’s done with that she will go find Sakura Hirota and have a match with her.

Since Match #2 was an Ice Ribbon offer match, it was held under their ruleset. That means no countouts and double team moves are permitted regularly when called out beforehand.

Looks like Banny Oikawa isn’t ready to be called up to Ganbare☆Pro just yet. Miyako Matsumoto defeated her in the opening match.

Yuna Manase announced that the middle show for GanPro September tripleshot in Oji BASEMENT MON☆STAR will be the first Ganbare☆Meeting Business Trip. Instead of matches the middle show will feature a talk show held by Manase, YuuRI & Riara. Then HARUKAZE will hold a life counseling session for any wrestlers on the roster looking for advice. Finally Isami Kodaka and Shinichiro Tominaga will be part of a contract signing for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title match taking place later on the third and final show of the day.

7. DDT Extreme Title – Weakness Explosion!! Activation Conditions Are Up To You! Fall & Escape = Ghost & Balloon Explosion Death Match: Kazuki Hirata (c) Vs Yukio Sakaguchi

Yesterday Kazuki Hirata and Yukio Sakaguchi met with Hisaya Imabayashi to sign the contract for their DDT Extreme Title match. Hirata admitted he could not think of a match stipulation in time but promised he would come up with something that Sakaguchi would be pleased with. Sakaguchi signed the contract and Hirata suddenly burst into laughter. He actually did come up with rules and Sakaguchi cannot back out now. The match Hirata wants is a Ghost & Balloon Death Match! The match can be won and lost as normal but whenever there is a kickout or rope break either a “Ghost” or a “Balloon” will enter the ring. It turns out that Sakaguchi does not like either ghosts or balloons so Hirata figured out he can use that information to unsettle his opponent. His point was proven when he took out a pair of rubber gloves, blew them up like balloons and then popped them, causing Sakaguchi to flee the room.

Several matches on the show are being sponsored by different beauty products and salon businesses.

The latest match added to the show has some mystery to it. Yuki Ueno’s unannounced teammate is somebody he believes can become a new rival for Pokotan. Who (or what) could it be? Another mascot?

DDT wanted to do a match promoting Saki Akai’s new photobook “GRACIA”. Akai is already booked on the show so DDT decided to put together a 3 Way Match between Hirata, Antonio Honda and… the photobook. This is now going to be the second Saki Akai photobook to wrestle in DDT. The first one is a former Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion because of course it would be! It even beat The Young Bucks autobiography to win it.

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Shinichiro Tominaga

The second challenger for Kodaka quickly made himself known over the weekend. Shinichiro Tominaga had a brief stare down with Kodaka at the Ganbare☆Pro show on Sunday afternoon and then later that evening threw out the challenge after he beat Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi in BASARA. The two wrestlers go way back to the final years of Union Pro. Tominaga came into the promotion at the beginning of 2012 as the hot new rookie with a lot of promise behind him. His run in that promotion only lasted 6 months of ring time when he fractured his forearm. Then when 2012 rolled around he declined to renew his contract and went back to the lower independents. It is a decision that has stayed on his mind ever since. Was he right or wrong to leave back then? He eventually bounced back by finding GanPro and becoming a regular part of their shows. He now thinks he is able to catch up with Kodaka. If he beats him for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title then it will prove he made the right choice all those years ago.

Soma Takao will be on the show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~RIKA TATSUMI LOCAL TRIUMPH~”, 16/09/2023

BASARA “BASARA 230 ~OSAKA SUMMER SIEGE – DAITO~”, 23/09/2023
Osaka Active Square Daito

1. Sparky Final Match ~Final Battle At The Place Of Formation~ Elimination 8-Man Tag Match: Ryota Nakatsu, SAGAT, Naoki Tanizaki & Akiyori Takizawa Vs Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine, Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita

As was promised by Ryota Nakatsu a few months ago, his unit Sparky is going to split up after the entire group gets together one last time. The full goodbye is happening in September due to Naoki Tanizaki & Akiyori Takizawa having their own schedules that conflict with BASARA’s dates. Sparky’s final match as a group is against the full force of Sento Minzoku in an Elimination Match.

Kohei Kinoshita will also be on the show, going along with Tanizaki as the second Dove Pro representative.

BASARA “BASARA 226 ~HAKUSEKIREI NO YORU~” Results

August 7, 2023

BASARA “BASARA 226 ~HAKUSEKIREI NO YORU~”, 06/08/2023
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Lil’ Kraken with the High Angle Schmidt-Style Backbreaker (10:01).
2. SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa defeated Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino when SAGAT pinned Nakano after the Big Mac (10:28).
3. Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with the JK (9:27).
4. KUBITO Return Match: Yasu Urano & Fuminori Abe defeated KUBITO & Daichi Kazato when Urano pinned KUBITO with a Butterfly Lock (13:44).
5. Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura when Oosugi pinned Shimomura with the Tsuki no Ishi (10:48).
6. Union MAX Next Challenger Match: FUMA defeated Ryota Nakatsu with the Cross Armbreaker (16:45).

FUMA becomes the No. 1 Contender for the Union MAX Title. He will face Takumi Tsukamoto for the title on 29th August.

Earlier today on the Ganbare☆Pro show Shinichiro Tominaga was hinted to be the next challenger for Isami Kodaka and the Spirit Of Ganbare Title. When Tominaga beat Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi on this show, he told Kodaka that he pinned Mizuki Watase earlier in the day too. He is on a good form lately, good enough that he now thinks he can catch up to Kodaka! He always asked himself what would have happened if he never quit Union Pro. If it was the right move then he needs to prove it with results. Beating Kodaka to win back GanPro’s championship will prove he made the right choice!

KUBITO thanked the other wrestlers for being involved in his return match from injury.

GANBARE☆PRO “UNDER THE SILVER LAKE 2023” Results

August 6, 2023

GANBARE☆PRO “UNDER THE SILVER LAKE 2023”, 06/08/2023
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
131 Fans

1. Keisuke Ishii defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Neck And Arm Lock (8:29).
2. GanJo Vs JTO!: Misa Kagura & HisokA defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa & Riara when Kagura pinned Riara with a Lariat (13:20).
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shota, Soma Takao & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Yumehito Imanari, Mizuki Watase & Tyson Maeguchi when Tominaga pinned Watase with the JK (14:43).
4. Special Single Match: Koji Doi defeated Ken Ohka with the Lariat (11:00).
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shuichiro Katsumura & Takuya Wada (c) defeated Hartley Jackson & HARUKAZE when Katsumura submitted HARUKAZE with the Triple Three 3 Lock (16:05).
*V1 for Ground Absolute.
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) defeated YuuRI with the 1244 (18:32).
*V1 for Isami Kodaka.

YuuRI’s ambitious attempt to become a Double Crown champion failed when she was unable to beat Isami Kodaka for the Spirit Of Ganbare Title. She put up a great effort though by kicking out of the Diving Double Knee Drop and also getting back up to fight when the referee tried to count her out. Kodaka had to pull out his rarely used 1244 submission hold to make her give up. Before the show began, YuuRI described Kodaka like a superhero and said she would become Ganbare☆Pro’s superhero if she beat him. Kodaka brought it up again after the match and encouraged YuuRI to become Ice Ribbon’s superhero because she will stay as a supporting character in GanPro for as long as he is GanPro’s champion.

Kodaka’s comments caused most of the GanPro roster to approach the ring and climb onto the apron. He told all of them that supporting characters are not allowed in the ring while the superhero is giving his show closing speech. He also noticed Ken Ohka was not among the wrestlers confronting him. Everyone stepped down to the floor with Shinichiro Tominaga being the last one to do so after he took a moment to stare at Kodaka.

Earlier in the day Ground Absolute were presented with the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Title belts. The championships were not completed in time so trophies were used to represent the prize until today. Shuichiro Katsumura & Takuya Wada went on to defend their new belts by beating the unique team of Hartley Jackson & HARUKAZE, also known together as Lethal Weapon. HARUKAZE submitted to Katsumura but was praised by the champions for showing guts. Ground Absolute now want to fight any opponents, wrestler or fighter, from any company that will help raise the value of the tag titles. HARUKAZE was upset to lose but asked Jackson if they can continue teaming together. He said of course they will because HARUKAZE is the only wrestler he wants to team with in GanPro.

Ohka’s absence from the main event angle can be explained from his utter defeat to Koji Doi earlier in the show. Doi used an Eye Poke and Low Blow behind the ref’s back to set up his inevitable path to victory. With this result Doi said it should be the end of this story. But he wants to continue making Ohka’s life a misery until Ohka cannot sleep anymore.

Tominaga pinning Mizuki Watase in the 6-Man Tag is a big statement towards him possibly becoming the next challenger for the SOG Title.

The summer is nearing its end and so too is this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup. Four women are left standing and two of those will be next to fall. Miyu Yamashita is trying to win the tournament for the first time after a decade of trying, Yuki Arai is benefitting from adding Saki Akai’s Rookie Award finisher to her moveset, Rika Tatsumi is in the middle of one hell of a run and Yuki Kamifuku is showing everyone just how successful she can be when she puts her mind to it.

Mizuki & Mahiro Kiryu are the two women teaming together to fight NEO Biishiki-gun.

Match #4 is made up of the four women who were knocked out in the Quarter Finals.

The 6-Woman Tag Match in Match #2 is entirely made up of the 2023 class.

DDT “SAKI AKAI 10TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR IN KORAKUEN!!”, 13/08/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Yuya Koroku Vs Rukiya
1. Jun Akiyama, Yukio Naya & Yusuke Okada Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ishida & Takeshi Masada

7. Saki Akai Debut 10th Anniversary Match Vol. 2 ~ Special 6-Woman Tag Match: Saki Akai, Maya Yukihi & Asuka Vs Takumi Iroha, Rina Yamashita & Shoko Nakajima

Akai’s next 10th Anniversary match will feature her teaming with Maya Yukihi & Asuka. They were two of her recent big opponents here in DDT. Their opponents all debuted in 2013, the same year as Akai. Takumi Iroha & Rina Yamashita were already announced and this past weekend Shoko Nakajima was revealed to be the third woman on the team.

Hirata found a way to beat HARASHIMA. He’s also beaten Sakaguchi once before but as Extreme Champion he will come up with any stipulation that will tip the scales in his favour. Otherwise Sakaguchi is going to kill him and take his title!

Makoto Oishi has convinced Yuji Hino to go after the KO-D Tag Team Titles with him. Maybe Hino would be better off teaming with Yukio Naya for the match but Oishi being such a caring father for his children convinced Hino to stick with him.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN – DAY 1”, 16/08/2023
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

Tokyo Ota Ward Industrial Plaza PiO Small Exhibition Hall

1. Special Tag Match: Soma Takao & Shota Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Kazuki Hirata
2. Jun Akiyama, Saki Akai & Antonio Honda Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ishida & Rukiya
3. DAMNATION T.A Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima

The recent actions of Konosuke Takeshita has fired up the rivalry between DAMNATION T.A and The 37KAMIINA. The one here is a rematch from the end of June when Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul beat Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima to win the vacant tag titles.

DDT “OSAKA BAY BLUES SPECIAL 2023”, 20/08/2023
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. Osaka Specialty Special Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Tsutenkakka Vs Akito & Kazuma Sumi
2. BURNING Vs Harimao!: Jun Akiyama & Kotaro Suzuki Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida
3. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Shigehiro Irie & HARASHIMA
4. Special Single Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Yuki Ueno
5. Current Blast Death Match: Atsushi Onita, Yoshitatsu & Toy Kojima Vs Yukio Sakaguchi, Hideki Okatani & Soma Takao

Sasaki has a few singles matches against different members of The 37KAMIINA this month. Yuki Ueno keeps being told by Takeshita to follow his lead and Sasaki has become a big supporter of that idea.

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2023”, 27/08/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Saki Akai Debut 10th Anniversary Match Vol. 3 ~ Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Saki Akai
2. Special Single Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs MAO
3. HARASHIMA Debut 22nd Anniversary Match: HARASHIMA Vs X

Sasaki also has to face MAO. He might start regretting taking Takeshita’s side in the matter just because of how much extra ring work it’s giving him.

Akai asked Danshoku Dieno for a singles match to call back memories of the Extreme Title bout from 2016. Their match back then featured a stipulation that nobody was allowed to cry or else they would lose. It was a match that Akai learned a lot and still thinks about after all this time. Dieno understands how much it means to her and will not be using his “Dandy” persona for that reason.

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN IZUKOGEN GRANILLUMI”, 02/09/2023
Shizuoka Izu Granpal Park

1. Falls Count Anywhere 4 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Saki Akai Vs Yuki Ueno, MAO & Toy Kojima (w/ Shunma Katsumata) Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Shinya Aoki & Takeshi Masada Vs Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & X

A lot of people are gathering together to wrestle among the bright lights of Izu Granpal Park. Not only is Shinya Aoki showing up but Pheromones will be joined by a mystery wrestler.

DDT “DDT BIG BANG 2023”, 09/09/2023
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Pheromones Vs Subjugation Final Match! Special Single Match ~ Dissolution Contra Vice President: Yuki “Sexy” Iino (w/ Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno) Vs Akito
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani Vs Yuko Miyamoto, Isami Kodaka & Ram Kaichow
3. Special Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Yuki Ueno & MAO
4. Current Blast Death Match: Atsushi Onita, Yoshi Tatsu & Toy Kojima Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

Sick of his demands being ignored, Atsushi Onita took it upon himself last week to crash a training session at the DDT dojo and confront Jun Akiyama. Apparently Onita got in touch with Kojima and demanded to find out when Akiyama was in the building. Kojima told him but didn’t actually expect he would show up. Onita told Akiyama the names of many famous wrestlers who fought him in Explosion Death Matches then asked why is he the only person who refuses to take part? Onita also reminded Sanshiro Takagi he was promised this match would happen. Akiyama accepted the challenge and both sides decided their teams. Onita will team with Yoshi Tatsu & Toy Kojima while Akiyama & Takagi will add Yusuke Okada to their team.

Is the team of Ueno & MAO enough to beat Takeshita & Sasaki? We’re heading into dangerous territory here as tensions raise higher and higher.

If Eruption are still the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions coming out of their All Japan appearance at the end of this month then their match against Yuko Miyamoto, Isami Kodaka & Ram Kaichow will be a title match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~NAGOYA PERFORMANCE~”, 18/09/2023
Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall

1. Saki Akai & Yuki Arai Vs X & X

This will be the final time Reiwa AA Cannon will team together, just two months before Akai retires.

DDT “DRAMATIC EXPLOSION 2023”, 18/09/2023
Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall

1. Current Blast Death Match: Atsushi Onita Vs X

Minoru Suzuki will be on the show. This is happening the same day as the Bullet Train match with Takagi by the way. How else were they making it to Nagoya?

“MASAHIRO TAKANASHI 20TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW”, 19/09/2023
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Exhibition: Masahiro Takanashi Vs KUDO
2. Yukio Sakaguchi, Isami Kodaka & Ken Ohka Vs MAO, Daiki Shimomura & Munetatsu Nakamura
3. Special Single Match: Mei Suruga Vs Minoru Suzuki
4. Chris Brookes Vs Masahiro Takanashi

No way was KUDO going to miss Masahiro Takanashi’s big show. He isn’t in ring shape to do a full wrestling match so Takanashi decided KUDO will face him in a 5 minute exhibition instead.

Saki Akai will also be on the show.
