Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX
344 Fans

2. The Leave Mask & Yuki Iino defeated Black Menso-re & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Mask pinned Menso-re with a Jackknife Pin (12:23).
3. Tetsuya Endo & Yukio Naya defeated Mohammed Yone & Kohei Kinoshita when Endo pinned Kinoshita with the Burning Star Press (14:46).
6. Akitoshi Saito LIMIT BREAK Last Match: Akitoshi Saito & Jun Akiyama defeated Satoshi Kojima & Yu Owada when Saito pinned Owada with the Sickle Death (15:56).

A couple of DDT wrestlers had more to do than just the Korakuen Hall show yesterday. Some of them popped over to NOAH afterward to wrestle on the latest “LIMIT BREAK” show. It was a special appearance for Jun Akiyama because he teamed with Akitoshi Saito for Saito’s final appearance in LIMIT BREAK on his road to retirement. Their opponents was another visitor Satoshi Kojima along with the NOAH rookie Yu Owada. The Sternness pair won the match when Akiyama gave Owada the Exploder Suplex and Saito pinned him with the Sickle Death. After the match Saito said he will never forget the first time he met Akiyama back in 2000 and he learned a lot of different wrestling styles from him. He tried to stay sharp in today’s match but couldn’t help but loosen up because he was with Akiyama again. Akiyama called Saito his best partner and the easiest wrestler to work with. Akiyama also gave Owada advice on showing more fire and emotion. He wants to see someone carry on the legacy that went from All Japan to NOAH.

Tetsuya Endo & Yukio Naya teamed up for a match against Mohammed Yone & Kohei Kinoshita. The pair was feeling in good condition despite already wrestling earlier in the day. Endo scored the win for the DDT team by pinning Kinoshita with the Burning Star Press. Endo told Kinoshita to tell a certain somebody in Seattle next month that he’s wishing him the best. Naya said in his backstage comment that he would like to have a singles match against Yone some day.

Maybe Yuki Iino can work his way into getting a sponsorship with THE LEAVE. He teamed with the company’s masked luchador The Leave Mask to defeat Black Menso-re & Tomomitsu Matsunaga. Iino asked Mask afterward if it would be ok if he can star in the company’s next commercial?

-. KO-D Openweight Title: Shinya Aoki (c) defeated Shunma Katsumata with a Full Nelson Hold (7:56).
*V3 for Shinya Aoki. Shunma Katsumata cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Shield.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

*Kazuki Hirata becomes the 1,679th champion.
6. The Final Match Of Beer Garden Pro Wrestling 2024! Special Drunk 3 Way Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi defeated Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino and Yuki Ueno & MAO when Takanashi pinned Endo after the H.O.D (24:01).

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

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

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

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

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

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

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2024 TOUR IN ASAKUSA” Results

October 9, 2024

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2024 TOUR IN ASAKUSA”, 09/10/2024
Tokyo Asakusa Hanayashi Theater
240 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

4. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul defeated Chris Brookes, Akito & Kazuma Sumi when Paul pinned Sumi with the Reverse Splash (10:51).
5. Special Tag Match: Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida defeated HARASHIMA & Keigo Nakamura when Nakatsu pinned Nakamura with the V Slider (13:15).
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING!: Yuki Ueno, MAO & To-y defeated Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku when To-y pinned Koroku with the Kojima Impact (19:53).

The Spear was the turning point in the main event. Yuki Iino was able to hit To-y with the move like he usually does but he used it again when the match broke down and this time tackled Yuya Koroku by accident. To-y then got the upper hand by giving Iino a Brainbuster and he pinned Koroku with the Kojima Impact. A triumphant To-y told Iino after the match that no matter how many times he is knocked down, he will always get back up. It will keep happening until To-y finally breaks Iino and wins the DDT Universal Title! Backstage MAO says he and To-y keep having to encourage each other for their upcoming matches. MAO lost the Universal Title to Iino so he is cheering on To-y to win it for him. To-y is encouraging MAO to be brave and fight Kota Umeda again because MAO was always scared of him back in DNA.

Most of Harimao were back together. Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida were teaming up while Naomi Yoshimura was present for the match. However Yoshimura is still not cleared to return to wrestling yet and Nakatsu claims he is banned from entering Kyushu so that’s why Ishida has chosen wrestlers from outside Harimao to challenge for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles next week. Ishida will instead team with Akito & Yukio Naya. He is calling the team the Dosukoi Three Musketeers.

Chris Brookes is now focused on getting revenge on DAMNATION T.A. He didn’t team with anyone else from SCHADENFREUDE International today but that didn’t stop him from attacking his enemies before the match began. Daisuke Sasaki later complained about Brookes fighting dirty and asked if it’s because he’s mad that Ilusion belongs to DAMNATION T.A now? Brookes promised SCHADENFREUDE will kill DAMNATION T.A at Korakuen Hall later this month. Meanwhile KANON mocked Akito for only challenging for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles because Ishida told him to join his team. Sasaki suggested that KANON should fight Akito for the DDT Extreme Title instead.

Today’s show was taking place on Jun Akiyama’s birthday but it is Danshoku Dieno who left with a present. He pinned Soma Takao to take one of his Right To Challenge Shields. Dieno already has an idea of what to do with the Shield but isn’t telling anyone what it is. Also in the match Kazuki Hirata complained he is always being booked against Yoshihiko so he attacked the doll with skewers and his team injured the doll with a Super Piledriver. However later in the match the room went dark and Yoshihiko made a dramatic reappearance from the rafters. Shunma Katsumata accused Yoshihiko of copying Sting so Yoshihiko attacked him with the skewers.

The show had several comedians booked to perform in-between some of the matches. Sanshiro Takagi took part in one of the skits dressed as Kenshiro from Fist Of The North Star.

6. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Iino (c) defeated Yukio Naya with the Spear (17:04).
*V1 for Yuki Iino.
7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Kaisei Takechi defeated Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Takeshi Masada when Ueno pinned Masada with the WR (25:11).

For the second time this year DDT can thank Kaisei Takechi for getting them a sold out Korakuen Hall. Seven months after his impressive debut, Takechi was back to have another match. He was with Yuki Ueno and The 37KAMIINA again this time with MAO along for the ride. Takeshi Masada was a familiar opponent from last time but now he’s a part of SCHADENFREUDE International. And when you get SCHADENFREUDE you get the antics of Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi to deal with. They used the rubber band spot on him from across the room and Brookes threw Takechi’s into the iron rails at ringside. Brookes also beat Takechi’s chest red with Chops. However Takechi fought back by hitting a No Touch Topé Con Hilo onto everyone outside the ring and then giving Brookes a Choke Slam. The match then came down to Ueno pinned Masada with the WR ensuring that Masada is still unbeaten after two matches.

After the match Masada wanted to keep fighting Takechi even though he lost. Brookes though calmed things down and even shook Takechi’s hand. Takechi said he is still new at wrestling and does not want to stop here. Makoto Oishi is one of his mentors and he heard Oishi’s final match with DDT is on 3rd October. Takechi wants to have a match with Oishi on that show even though he knows Oishi is already booked for a KO-D Tag Team Titles match. Oishi thought about it. He pointed out it would be disrespectful towards the champions if he uses up some of his energy wrestling another match beforehand. However ShunMao both gave them the thumbs up to do the match. DDT later announced that match will be Takechi & Oishi against Akito & Kazuki Hirata. Until then Takechi is going straight back to doing his duties with THE RAMPAGE. Backstage Masada complained that him losing this match and Hideki Okatani losing the first match back in February is not showing the future of DDT in a good light. He swears the next time he faces Takechi he will beat him with a three count.

Takechi drawing in a big crowd fired up the undercard to show what the rest of DDT is made of. Yuki Iino’s defence of the DDT Universal Title against Yukio Naya was a battle between the last two homegrown heavyweights still standing in the company. In a match filled with Chops, slams, Shoulder Blocks and Lariats Iino had to hit three Spears on Naya to beat him. It took three Spears because Naya kicked out at one the first time, at two the second and was finally pinned for three on the third time. The two shook hands after the match and praised each other.

Iino was then suddenly ambushed by To-y after Naya left the ring. He gave Iino a Dropkick but was then taken down with the Spear. To-y’s spirit wouldn’t break though and he challenged Iino for a shot at the Universal Title. Iino ran the ropes looking to Spear him again but instead stopped himself and accepted the challenge because To-y wants it so badly. It will happen in Fukuoka on 13th October. Iino warns that it will only take one Spear to beat To-y and he is confident it will happen. To-y wants to start winning championships like everyone else in The 37KAMIINA is doing. He can’t stay in the position he is in and has no choice but to move forward. That’s why he isn’t losing any heart despite getting Speared over and over.

A new generation of wrestlers got to experience the IPPON Lighttube Death Match. Shunma Katsumata put the DDT Extreme Title on the line against Akito in a tag team version of the match. The added stipulation was Katsumata teamed with Kazuma Sumi and Akito teamed with Yuni. If Katsumata’s team won then it is a successful title defence but if they lost then Akito becomes the new champion no matter who was directly involved in the finish. Yuki Ishida and Yuya Koroku demonstrated the rules of the match using a plastic baseball bat to explain who would lose depending on how the lighttube would break. The match itself had many close calls and near misses with the lighttube. The finish came when Akito Body Slammed Katsumata onto the lighttube, placed Sumi on top of him and then pinned the both of them down. Yuni then did a Diving Foot Stomp onto the pile, causing the lighttube to be crushed underneath. Since Katsumata was lying directly on top of it, the ruling was he broke the lighttube so Akito wins the championship!

Akito was pleased with how the match went and told the others that the stipulation does not exclusively belong to him. He wants the match to belong to represent DDT so he is passing it down to them. Whenever Katsumata, Yuni or Sumi find an opponent who they think can put on an amazing IPPON Lighttube Death Match, Akito wants them to use those rules. Akito then nominated Danshoku Dieno to be his first challenger because he had a secret to tell him. Dieno entered the ring carrying his beloved pet dog Haku and listened to what Akito had to say. Back when Akito was sent by Sanshiro Takagi to go destroy Pheromones, Akito actually liked the gimmick in general. But he hated Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno because he admires Dieno too much to see him in a supporting role. Pheromones meant so much to Dieno and Akito got rid of it so Akito wants to put what is most important to him on the line against Dieno to make up for it. What matters most to Akito is the Extreme Title. Dieno said Akito underestimated him. It’s true that he cared a lot about Pheromones but Dieno has so many other important purposes in life. He also has room to add the Extreme Title to that list on 20th October! Akito shook Haku’s paw to seal the deal.

Dieno was the opponent chosen for Oishi’s final singles match under contract for DDT with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title on the line. Daisuke Kiso was the referee for the match but Hisaya Imabayashi warned both wrestlers that Yukinori Matsui was sitting backstage and if anybody broke the rules, he would come out and deliver strict justice! A camera backstage filmed Matsui watching the match and Imabayashi would put that footage on the screen as a warning whenever the rules were being bent. Matsui did get angry watching Dieno and Oishi’s antics but he remained backstage. Imabayashi though lost his temper and climbed into the ring to complain, pushing down Kiso for not doing a good enough job. That was Matsui’s breaking point and he marched down to ringside Goldberg style. He got distracted by a few different people including Imabayashi trying to stop him. But they settled their differences with a kiss and entered the ring together along with Dieno’s pet dog Haku. Matsui asked Kiso to let Dieno and Oishi keep wrestling they way they want to because it is Oishi’s last DDT match in Korakuen. The match continued and Oishi immediately tapped out Dieno with a Sleeper Hold to win the Iron Man Title. Dieno then grabbed Oishi in the same move after the match to win it back.

If Match #3 was a test to see if Ilusion deserves to be part of the upcoming KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match then he failed it. DAMNATION T.A all brought chairs to the ring and threw them at Ilusion’s team before the bell. Antonio Honda summoned Gongitsune but the attack hit his teammates and the referee by mistake. Ilusion was thrown into the ropes where MJ Paul broke a chair over his head. Daisuke Sasaki & KANON then finished him off with the Freedom Call to give DAMNATION T.A the win.

Good news for Kazuki Hirata. He doesn’t have to worry about holding the white Right To Challenge Shield anymore because Soma Takao beat him for it. That was in fact Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku’s goal for the match too. All of them wanted to pin Hirata to take the Shield off of him. Hirata had Toru Owashi & Yuki Ishida to play bodyguard for him but that trust eventually ran out. Hirata used the Tegatana chop to knock out both his opponents as well as his own teammates. Endo grabbed Hirata and lifted him up for the Torture Rack Bomb but Hirata slipped on a pair of Hirata GO! glasses over his face to stop it. The two of them danced but when the song ended, Takao rolled up Hirata for the three count behind Endo’s back.

It always feels weird to me when the main championship is the curtain jerker for any wrestling show. But Shinya Aoki had things to do involving the RIZIN show that was happening in Saitama later in the evening so here we have the KO-D Openweight Champion in the opening match. He got to face off against Jun Akiyama but the tag match came down to HARASHIMA pinning Keigo Nakamura with the Somato. HARASHIMA thanked Aoki for teaming with him. He then said he cannot wait any long to try and win a Right To Challenge Shield so he is challenging Aoki for the KO-D Title! It turns out Aoki has been waiting for this moment to happen all along because he thinks HARASHIMA is the undisputed ace of DDT. He accepted the challenge for 20th October and promised to use all of his strength to defend the strongest championship in Japan.

DDT announced they found a main sponsor for their free show in Sumida on 4th November. Geeniest is a character goods company that usually provides pop-up shops in department stores and event halls.

DDT At NOAH Limit Break Ex. Results

September 28, 2024

NOAH “THE LEAVE PRESENTS LIMIT BREAK EX.”, 28/09/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall
290 Fans

1. Hajime Ohara defeated Yuya Koroku with the Mui Bien (8:48).
3. Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino defeated Kai Fujimura & Kohei Kinoshita when Endo pinned Fujimura with the Torture Rack Bomb (17:33).
5. Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls: Go Shiozaki, Akitoshi Saito, Mohammed Yone & Atsushi Kotoge (2) defeated Jun Akiyama, Yukio Naya, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Harutoki (1).
5a. Harutoki pinned Go Shiozaki with El Momento de Muerte (23:26).
5b. Go Shiozaki pinned Harutoki with the Strong Arm Lariat (2:10).
5c. Akitoshi Saito pinned Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Sickle Death (9:28).

It’s been a while since I wrote about the “LIMIT BREAK” shows over at NOAH. The last one took place back in July and I skipped over it. The only DDT related matches on it were Jun Akiyama and Tomomitsu Matsunaga in the opening two bouts so there wasn’t much to write about. Today though was different because those two along with Yukio Naya were in a big main event against TEAM NOAH. The three of them along with Harutoki fought TEAM NOAH in a Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls match. The first two falls were both decided by Go Shiozaki and Harutoki. The visiting team unexpectedly won the first fall when Harutoki blocked Shiozaki’s Lariat with a High Kick and then used a Cross-Arm Falcon Arrow to get the pinfall. The second fall didn’t last long because Harutoki went for the quick win only to get cut down by Shiozaki’s Lariat for the three count. The final fall began with Atsushi Kotoge facing off against Naya before switching over to Akitoshi Saito against Akiyama. Matsunaga tagged in but got caught by the teamwork of Saito & Mohammed Yone. That led to Saito pinning Matsunaga with the Sickle Death to end the match. Later Saito said he would like to team up with Akiyama once last time before he retires.

BURNING fared better in their match against Kai Fujimura & Kohei Kinoshita. Late in the match Tetsuya Endo went after Fujimura with Swan Dive attacks and Yuki Iino took out Kinoshita with the Spear. Endo then caught Fujimura with the Tetsuya In The Sky before pinning him with the Torture Rack Bomb. Endo & Iino promised to keep on burning while the other team wants to have more matches against them.

Well, most of BURNING fared better. Yuya Koroku was in the opening match and lost to Hajime Ohara. He targeted Ohara’s left arm but his plan didn’t work out. Instead Ohara trapped him in the Muy Bien submission and made him tap out. Ohara would later become the newest member of TEAM NOAH at the end of the show.

DDT “TETSUYA ENDO LOCAL TRIUMPH! DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 TOUR IN SHIROISHI” Results

September 14, 2024

DDT “TETSUYA ENDO LOCAL TRIUMPH! DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 TOUR IN SHIROISHI”, 14/09/2024
Miyagi Shiroishi White Cube
358 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Yukio Naya, Akito & To-y defeated Chris Brookes, Takeshi Masada & Ilusion when Naya pinned Ilusion with the Choke Slam (11:45).
2. Yuki Iino defeated Yuki Ishida with the Spear (7:54).
3. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul defeated Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & Kazuma Sumi when Paul pinned Sumi with the Reverse Splash (10:39).
4. Jun Akiyama defeated Yuya Koroku with the Exploder Suplex (13:56).
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata defeated MAO, Gorgeous Matsuno & Keigo Nakamura when Hirata pinned Matsuno with a Lariat (0:26).
5a. Rematch: MAO, Gorgeous Matsuno & Keigo Nakamura defeated HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when MAO pinned Hirata with the Iai Kick (11:43).
6. Shiroishi Specialty Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo defeated Makoto Oishi with the Burning Star Press (24:14).

Today was supposed to be Tetsuya Endo being the centre of attention because DDT was in his home area. But the main event was just as much about Makoto Oishi as he moves ever closer towards his farewell from DDT. Endo was able to beat him but he told everyone afterwards just how much Oishi means to him. Oishi has looked out for Endo ever since Endo was a trainee and it is no exaggeration to say a part of Endo was created by Oishi. He definitely wants DDT to hold a show like this again next year so Oishi can wrestle on it. Oishi likes the idea because he has only ever beaten Endo in a singles match once and wants to have more wins than losses against him.

One of Yuya Koroku’s ultimate goals as a wrestler is to surpass Jun Akiyama. The veteran played such an important part in Koroku’s training and Koroku thinks the best way to repay him is to beat him. He couldn’t beat him today but Akiyama encouraged him to keep trying. He suggests what Koroku needs to do is think really hard about how he can beat him and erase his presence.

A chair was used by DAMNATION T.A several times on their way to victory today. However Shunma Katsumata is also fired up thanks to the chairshots they used against him. Even though DAMNATION T.A have held the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles four times, they have never scored a successful defence as champions. They are still confident about tomorrow’s title defence against The 37KAMIINA especially since all of their opponents look to be too preoccupied with other things to be motivated for this match.

Look at To-y for example. He threatened to cash in his Right To Challenge Shield on Yuki Iino to get an immediate DDT Universal Title shot after Match #2. However Iino cut To-y off with the Spear during the middle of his speech. Iino was furious backstage at To-y trying to cash in on him. As the Universal Champion he will break To-y if he ever does that again! To-y however thinks the Spear helped snap himself back to his senses so he will be ready for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles match tomorrow.

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 TOUR IN SHINJUKU”, 20/09/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Masahiro Takanashi, Antonio Honda & Ilusion Vs Toru Owashi, Danshoku Dieno & Keigo Nakamura
2. Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku Vs Jun Akiyama & Yuki Ishida
3. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami, KANON & MJ Paul Vs HARASHIMA, Soma Takao, Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi
4. Special Single Match: Akito Vs Kazuki Hirata
5. Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo Vs To-y
6. Special Single Match: Yuki Iino Vs Makoto Oishi
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada (c) Vs MAO & Shunma Katsumata

Poor Takeshi Masada still isn’t getting much respect despite being one half of the KO-D Tag Team Champions. At the contract signing for this title match ShunMao called CDK their rivals instead of SCHADENFREUDE International and Chris Brookes even agreed with that notion. On the bright side Brookes is advising Masada to wrestle the match in their own unique way. That matters to his development just as much as winning or losing.

Makoto Oishi’s farewell tour brings him over to Yuki Ueno for what could be their last singles match together.

If To-y is still holding his Right To Challenge Shield by the time this show happens then Tetsuya Endo has a big chance to win it and set up another shot at Aoki for the KO-D Title. Akito could also possibly risk his Shield in a match against Kazuki Hirata. Meanwhile Masahiro Takanashi is laying low and hiding away in multi-man tag matches where the risk of directly losing a fall is much much lower.

Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami is not running away from DDT after losing to Naya. He lost clean to Naya when they finally faced each other in a singles match but they will meet again in an 8-Man Tag Match here.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS V”, 22/09/2024
Chiba Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall

1. Runa Okubo Vs Haru Kazashiro
2. Yoshiko Hasegawa, Kaya Toribami & HIMAWARI Vs Kira Summer, Chika Nanase & Uta Takami
3. Kakeru Sekiguchi & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Wakana Uehara & Toga
4. Ram Kaichow Vs Raku
5. Aja Kong, Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku Vs Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Aino & Shino Suzuki
*Special Referee: Shiori Aoki.
6. Xia Zhao & Mizuki Vs Yuki Kamifuku & VENY
7. Emi Sakura Vs Shoko Nakajima
8. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Moka Miyamoto
9. Princess Tag Team Titles: Suzume & Arisu Endo (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh
10. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Ryo Mizunami

There was a contract signing held today for Yuki Arai and Moka Miyamoto to promote the International Princess Title match. Miyamoto spoke about always valuing the spirit of harmony and how she incorporates Japanese elements into her wrestling. That is how she created the Korokan move during her first attempt to win the IP Title in 2022. So her goal if she becomes the champion is to spread those feelings across the world. Arai would like to see Miyamoto win the title if the champion was somebody else but she will defend it to the death against her. She also wants to start defending the title overseas, especially if it helps SKE48 with their efforts to grow internationally. If Arai beats Miyamoto then she will hold the record for most IP Title defences with 5 wins. She wants to be proud of her title reign and hopes this match will be memorable for reasons more than just her breaking the record.

BASARA “BASARA 257 ~HIEN~”, 24/09/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. KUBITO Vs Takeru Inoue
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Banana Senga & Yuki Kanzaki
3. Ryota Nakatsu & Lil’ Kraken Vs Yumehito Imanari & Mizuki Watase
4. Takumi Tsukamoto, SAGAT & Minoru Fujita Vs Guts Ishijima, Hideyoshi Kamitani & Kuma Arashi
5. UWA World Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Isami Kodaka & Ryuichi Sekine

The UWA World Tag Team Titles have been used mainly in Big Japan for the past few years and belonged to Michinoku Pro before that. Thanks to Aijin Tag winning the belts this week the championship is now being defended over to BASARA. It didn’t take long for them to find challengers because Isami Kodaka & Ryuichi Sekine quickly decided they wanted a title shot after they saw Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino’s victory.

The “HIEN” branding is bringing in more fresh faces to BASARA. Ganbare☆Pro are sending over Yumehito Imanari & Mizuki Watase as a tag team. There is also a mixture of outside talent being put together as Guts Ishijima, Hideyoshi Kamitani & Kuma Arashi take on the BASARA home team. There’s even a tag match with Speed Of Sounds on opposite sides to freshen up the undercard.

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 ~ 3 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 29/09/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Tetsuya Endo, Soma Takao & Yuya Koroku Vs Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & To-y
2. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul Vs Antonio Honda, Yuki Ishida & Ilusion
3. Special Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & HARASHIMA Vs Jun Akiyama & Keigo Nakamura
4. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Makoto Oishi
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Kaisei Takeshi Vs Chris Brookes, Takeshi Masada & Masahiro Takanashi
6. DDT Extreme Title – IPPON Lighttube Tag Team Death Match: Shunma Katsumata (c) & Kazuma Sumi Vs Akito & Yuni
7. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Iino (c) Vs Yukio Naya

DDT got Kaisei Takeshi to sell out a show so a full Korakuen Hall has to watch Danshoku Dieno Vs Makoto Oishi. I kind of have to respect the carniness of it all.

DDT “TAKESHI MASADA LOCAL TRIUMPH! DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 TOUR IN OSAKA” Results

September 7, 2024

DDT “TAKESHI MASADA LOCAL TRIUMPH! DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 TOUR IN OSAKA”, 07/09/2024
Osaka Sun Square Sports Center Sakai
253 Fans – No Vacancy

1. HARASHIMA & Akito defeated Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida when HARASHIMA pinned Ishida with the Somato (7:57).
2. Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Kazuma Sumi defeated Toru Owashi, Keigo Nakamura & Ilusion when Dieno submitted Owashi because Dieno’s anus smelled too bad (9:13).
*Danshoku Dieno wins Toru Owashi’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Shield.
3. DAMNATION T.A Vs BURNING!: Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku defeated Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul when Endo pinned Paul with the Burning Star Press (13:22).
4. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama defeated Makoto Oishi with the Wrist-Clutch Exploder (12:44).
5. Special Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata defeated Fuminori Abe & Antonio Honda when Katsumata pinned Honda with the Totonou Splash (14:43).
6. Fight For The Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Shield: Yuki Iino defeated KANON with the Spear (14:23).
*Yuki Iino wins KANON’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Shield.
7. Osaka Specialty Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada defeated Yuki Ueno & To-y when Masada pinned To-y with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (21:05).

On the day before the fated showdown in Nagoya there were some extra drama made in Osaka today. The show was dedicated to Takeshi Masada’s homecoming but he was left out of some of the signature SCHADENFREUDE International spots during the main event. Since his mother was in the audience, Masada was upset he didn’t get to look his best in front of her and considered walking out of the match. However he returned to the ring when the fans chanted his name and even scored the winning pinfall.

Two Right To Challenge Shields changed hands today. The black shield now belongs to Yuki Iino after he beat KANON fair and square. KANON bent the rules by throwing Yuya Koroku into Iino’s way at ringside and then grabbed a chair to hit his opponent with. In the ring Iino used a rope break to get out of the Cobra Twist and then hit the Spear to pin KANON. The two will be facing each other again in a 6-Man Tag Match. KANON swears he will get revenge and win back the Shield from Iino, otherwise his plan with the Shield will have completely fallen apart!

There was a gross moment in Match #5 when MAO caused Fuminori Abe to vomit a little bit after giving him a Thrust Kick to the stomach. After the match MAO told Abe not to vomit again while Abe tried to act like it was nothing to be embarrassed about. In fact, Abe thinks he did something amazing and promised to eat a bowl of katsudon before tomorrow’s DDT Universal Title match so his vomit will be even filthier! Backstage MAO said he understands the strength of a person who has just been humiliated so he knows he is in for a fight to defend his title tomorrow.

In what could be the last time Jun Akiyama and Makoto Oishi face each other one on one, Akiyama made sure to use the upgraded version of his finisher to win. He said he wanted to use the Exploder Suplex that hurts more than usual just for the ocassion. Oishi hopes there will be another chance for them to have a singles match again in the future. If it does happen, he’ll promise to break Akiyama’s knee with the Fujiyama Knee Lock this time. Akiyama said that won’t work because he’ll just beat Oishi in under five minutes.

Tetsuya Endo is feeling confident heading into tomorrow’s KO-D Openweight Title Match. He got the win for BURNING in a tag bout today. Now all there is left to do is face Shinya Aoki, overcome his own weaknesses and beat him to become the KO-D Champion for a fourth time.

There were complaints from the wrestlers in the opening match about a bad smell coming from Danshoku Dieno. He had eaten gyoza filled with extra garlic before the show and everyone else had to deal with his, um, side effects. Toru Owashi got the worst of it by getting his face shoved into Dieno’s Hell Gate. The smell was so bad he had to give up! Dieno won Owashi’s Right To Challenge Shield but he is conflicted over it. His goal to remain as the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion for one year has now gotten more difficult because the Shield makes him even more of a target than before! Plus if he does cash in the title shot and loses, he will lose the Iron Man Title too.

Video – NOAH Vs DDT Battle From “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022”

September 6, 2024


“CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022”, 12/06/2022
Saitama Super Arena
4,891 Fans

8. NOAH Vs DDT Battle: Katsuhiko Nakajima, Atsushi Kotoge & Yoshiki Inamura Vs Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Kazusada Higuchi

Yeah this is the match where Katsuhiko Nakajima knocked out Tetsuya Endo with a slap across the face that left him with a concussion. The injury caused Endo to vacate the KO-D Openweight Title at the time. DDT is really leaning into this story to build up Endo’s title match with Shinya Aoki this weekend.
