July 6, 2025

DDT “JAPAN PARA-WRESTLING FEDERATION PRESENTS CHARITY PRO WRESTLING FESTIVAL ~REIWA 7TH ODAWARA BATTLE~”, 06/07/2025
Kanagawa Odawara Arena Sub-Arena
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Ilusion defeated Kazuma Sumi with the Swanton Bomb (8:21).
2. Daichi Sato & Munetatsu Nakamura defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuki Ishida when Sato pinned Matsunaga with the Mad Splash (8:32).
3. Special Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno & Pokotan (w/ Umemaru) defeated Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda when Pokotan pinned Honda with a Head Strike (10:51).
4. HARASHIMA, Soma Takao & Yukio Naya defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul when HARASHIMA pinned Paul with the Somato (11:54).
5. Special Single Match: KANON defeated Yuya Koroku with a Crucifix Pin (11:52).
6. Uchiyama Kenichi Presents Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tatsumi Fujinami, Yoshiaki Yatsu & Jun Akiyama defeated Yuki Ueno, To-y & Akito when Fujinami submitted To-y with the Dragon Sleeper (12:36).
7. Shonan Spirits Co. Ltd. Presents Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Iino defeated Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada when Higuchi pinned Masada with the Claw Slam (17:15).

To-y’s energy may have rubbed Tatsumi Fujinami the wrong way. Fujinami was given the NeppoWER!! pose at the start of the match and threatened To-y with violence in response. Akito used Fujinami’s Dragon Screw against him and also used the move on Yoshiaki Yatsu & Jun Akiyama. Fujinami captured To-y in the Figure 4 Leg Lock but Yuki Ueno broke it up with a Knee Drop. Akiyama then hit Ueno with a Knee Strike. Fujinami got revenge on Akito by giving him the Dragon Screw and then put To-y in the Dragon Sleeper. The others held the other team back with Akiyama giving Ueno the Front Neck Lock while Yatsu put Akito in the Jail Hold. To-y had no choice but to give up.

Retired wrestler Naohiro Hoshikawa made his third annual appearance on the show. The former Michinoku Pro and ZERO1 wrestler greeted everyone from ringside by leaving his wheelchair with some assistance and standing next to the ring.

Shunma Tears His ACL Again, DDT Lineups For July, ZSJ At Wrestle Peter Pan

July 4, 2025

During the week Shunma Katsumata injured his knee during practice and was diagnosed with a torn ACL in his left knee. He will be out of action for a while. It is the same injury he suffered last November that kept him on the shelf until this past March so he is having rotten luck with his health lately. A lot of his matches for July were already booked so plenty of show lineups had to be changed around because of his injury.

DDT “YOKOHAMA NIGHT SPLASH”, 05/07/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Special Single Match: KANON V MJ Paul
2. 5 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Akito Vs Naomi Yoshimura Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuya Koroku

4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Iino, To-y & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Jun Akiyama, Hikaru Sato & Daichi Sato

Katsumata was meant to team with Yuki Ueno to take on Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida from Harimao. Ueno will now team with Kazuma Sumi.

The public contract signing for the next KO-D Openweight Title match will happen before the show starts.

DDT “JAPAN PARA-WRESTLING FEDERATION PRESENTS CHARITY PRO WRESTLING FESTIVAL ~REIWA 7TH ODAWARA BATTLE~”, 06/07/2025
Kanagawa Odawara Arena Sub-Arena

1. Ilusion Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Daichi Sato & Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuki Ishida
3. Special Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno & Pokotan (w/ Umemaru) Vs Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda

5. Special Single Match: KANON Vs Yuya Koroku
6. Uchiyama Kenichi Presents Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tatsumi Fujinami, Yoshiaki Yatsu & Jun Akiyama Vs Yuki Ueno, To-y & Akito
7. Shonan Spirits Co. Ltd. Presents Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Iino Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada

Akito replaces Katsumata to face the legends on Sunday’s show.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2025 IN UENO”, 08/07/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Makoto Oishi & Kazuma Sumi Vs Yuya Koroku & Yuki Ishida
2. Dance Vs Idol Battle Without Honor & Humanity ~ Special Single Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuni
3. Falls Count Anywhere Crocodile Death Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada

5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Hikaru Sato & Akito
6. KANON 6th Anniversary Match ~ Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno

With To-y and Hikaru Sato about to face each other for the DDT Extreme Title soon, they’re first going to test each other out in a tag match.

The KO-D Champion and KO-D Tag Team Champions are teaming up together. Two of their opponents will be challenging for the tag titles soon but Soma Takao is sticking out like a sore thumb here.

DDT “ROCK IN RING 2025 ~PLAY THE STRIKES, SHOUT THE CHEERS”, 13/07/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Naomi Yoshimura & Antonio Honda Vs Soma Takao & Yuni
1. 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Super Sasadango Machine Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida Vs Chris Brookes, Jun Akiyama & Daichi Sato
3. Special Tag Match: Kosei Fujita & Takeshi Masada Vs To-y & Yuya Koroku
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Masashi Takeda, Ilusion & Haruto Sakuraba Vs MAO, KANON & Kazuma Sumi (w/ KIMIHIRO)
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Akito & Kaisei Takechi Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul
6. DDT Universal Title: Minoru Suzuki (c) Vs Shinya Aoki
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs HARASHIMA

The new champion Kazusada Higuchi instantly attracted one of the best wrestlers in DDT to challenge him for the title. HARASHIMA always wants to fight the strongest wrestlers and admires Higuchi for having the strength to climb back to the top of the mountain after returning from his injuries.

Akito will also be filling in for Katsumata on this show for the all important Kaisei Takechi match.

DAMNATION T.A are really ramping things up. Not only do they have Haruto Sakuraba coming back for his second wrestling match but now Masashi Takeda will be on his team! Ilusion may not even have to do much on the day other than be an annoying little shit to the opponents and that’s second nature to him at this point.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2025 IN SHINJUKU – DAY 2”, 16/07/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Dedicated To Lafcadio Hearn! Ghost Story Shin-Numabukuro Death Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Akito Vs KANON Vs Soma Takao
*Ghost Story Artist: Hisaya Imabayashi
2. Noryo KING OF DRUNK Decision Match: HARASHIMA Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Shunma Katsumata
3. Special Single Match: Ilusion Vs Kumadori
4. Beer Garden Specialty Customer Lottery 8-Man Tag Match: To-y, Yuki Ueno, MAO, Kazuki Hirata, Antonio Honda, Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku and Yuki Ishida

Ilusion’s behavior has gotten under someone’s skin for them to do something about it. Kumadori has had enough of Ilusion’s cheating and insults so he wants to deal with him one on one.

Just because Katsumata blew out his ACL again doesn’t mean he can’t compete in the KING OF DRUNK contest. He’s still taking part in it as far as I can tell.

DDT “SANKO MANUFACTURING CO., LTD. OME PRESENTS HARASHIMA RETURNS HOME! ~WE’RE HOLDING A SHOW IN OME! WHY? BECAUSE IT’S MY HOMETOWN!~”, 27/07/2025
Sumitomo Metal Mine Arena Ome Sports Hall 1

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya (c) Vs Jun Akiyama & Daichi Sato
2. HARASHIMA Debut 24th Anniversary Match – Special 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Togi Makabe & Yasu Urano Vs Shinya Aoki, Shuji Ishikawa & Akito

The brand new tag team called The Apex are now the KO-D Tag Champs. Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya now have another pair of heavyweights coming to take their new belts. Ever since Daichi Sato became a full fledged member of DDT he’s been teaming with Jun Akiyama a lot. The legend has seen to it to become the teenager’s mentor and could end up being rewarded for it by with a first time KO-D Tag Title reign.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025 – DAY 1”, 30/08/2025
Tokyo Higashin Arena Main Arena

1. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs X

Zack Sabre Jr. will be on the show. Looks like he will only be on Day 1 of “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025” and not Day 2.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 FINAL”, 22/06/2025
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 1: Wakana Uehara Vs Kira Summer
2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 1: Toga Vs Ivy Steele

This show will be Sayuri Namba’s graduation from Tokyo Joshi Pro. Other eventful things happening include Mizuki and Yuki Arai being on opposite sides of the main event, Daydream teaming together for the first time in over a year and Suzume against Moka Miyamoto in a tag match.

The last of the Tokyo Princess Cup 1st Round preliminary matches take place here. The delayed Wakana Uehara Vs Kira Summer bout finally goes ahead while Toga clashes with Ivy Steele.

Mifu Ashida will miss the show due to a scheduling conflict.

BASARA “BASARA 282 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 25/06/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Takeru Inoue
2. Masato Kamino Vs Shota Kofuji
3. Isami Kodaka & Shiori Asahi Vs Yasu Urano & Hagane Shinno
4. Daiki Shimomura & Takato Nakano Vs Thanomsak Toba & Tyson “Ultimate” Maeguchi
5. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA (c) Vs Lil’ Kraken & Akira Jo

All the fun and games from the last show are now out of the way. Now we’ll see how BASARA’s new management will handle something a bit more serious. Takeru Inoue is back from his dislocated right elbow injury. If he beats the new president Ryota Nakatsu it could immediately launch him into getting the Union MAX Title shot at Korakuen Hall later this year.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 23: ENDLESS, NAMELESS”, 01/07/2025
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa

1. Special Single Match: Mr. Bueno Vs Dark King Ueki
2. Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda Vs Munek & Ram Kaichow
3. King Of Square: MAO Vs X
4. BK-G Openweight Title: Mr. Malo (c) Vs X

Another BK-G Openweight Title defence is coming up for Mr. Malo but he won’t know who his challenger is until they show up. In a similar bit, MAO is also going to face a mystery wrestler to prove who is the most square shaped fighter around. I heard rumours that Dr. Cube was spotted somewhere in Japan causing fights in bars over the weekend but it just turned out to be Zack Sabre Jr. in disguise.

We’re going to see what it’s like for Ram Kaichow to fight under the control of Dark King Ueki and Munek. She’s been able to wrestle in other places pretty normally (if what she does can be called normal) ever since they trapped her soul, to the point that until she saw the match announcement she forgot she’s supposed to be on their side. Must be pretty relaxing when you forget you’re supposed to be someone’s prisoner.

DDT “JAPAN PARA-WRESTLING FEDERATION PRESENTS CHARITY PRO WRESTLING FESTIVAL ~REIWA 7TH ODAWARA BATTLE~”, 06/07/2025
Kanagawa Odawara Arena Sub-Arena

1. Ilusion Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Akito & Daichi Sato Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Yuki Ishida

4. Special Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno & Pokotan (w/ Umemaru) Vs Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda
5. Special Single Match: KANON Vs Yuya Koroku
6. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Iino
7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tatsumi Fujinami, Yoshiaki Yatsu & Jun Akiyama Vs Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y

Now this is a trio of men! Tatsumi Fujinami, Yoshiaki Yatsu & Jun Akiyama all teaming up for a fight against The 37KAMIINA.

If that doesn’t tickle your fancy then how about Umemaru the mascot coming back to DDT for more shenanigans with Pokotan?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25”, 21/07/2025
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Andreza Giant Panda & Raku Vs Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku

DDT “ROAD TO PETER PAN 2024 TOUR IN ODAWARA” Results

July 7, 2024

DDT “NIPPON CHALLENGED WRESTLING ASSOCIATION CHARITY BOX OFFICE ~ ROAD TO PETER PAN 2024 TOUR IN ODAWARA”, 07/07/2024
Kanagawa Odawara Arena Sub Arena
659 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Daisuke Sasaki & KANON defeated Soma Takao & Makoto Oishi when KANON submitted Oishi with the Cobra Twist (9:16).
2. DAC Presents Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada defeated Keigo Nakamura & Yuki Ishida when Masada pinned Ishida with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (10:26).
3. “Odawara City Tourism PR Character” Umemaru Pro Wrestling Debut Match: Umemaru (w/ Martin), Akito & Yuni Vs Pokotan, Antonio Honda & Kazuma Sumi when Umemaru pinned Pokotan with a Body Press (11:07).
4. Special Single Match: Aja Kong defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Uraken (7:10).
5. Sanshiro Takagi Indefinite Rest Road ~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Yoshiaki Yatsu & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan defeated Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku when Kuroshio pinned Koroku with the Moonsault Press (13:39).
6. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Yukio Naya with the Somato (14:20).
7. The 37KAMIINA Vs. D.O.A?: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated MAO, Jun Akiyama & Danshoku Dieno when Katsumata pinned Dieno with the Totonou Splash (21:09).

Next stop for MAO is D.O.A as he continues his choice to fight against his friends in The 37KAMIINA rather than team with them. Things went a little better today compared to yesterday. He pushed Yuki Ueno face first into Danshoku Dieno’s Hell Gate but Ueno later got his own back by throwing MAO into Dieno’s Lip Lock. MAO was so dazed by the move he fell and landed head first into Dieno’s groin. The damage to Dieno was so great it left him a sitting duck for Shunma Katsumata’s Totonou Splash. Ueno said that MAO is a great partner for anyone but he shines brightest when he is with The 37KAMIINA. However MAO thinks he is learning from teaming with other units in the run up to Sumo Hall.

The show was part of Yoshiaki Yatsu’s charity work with the Nippon Challenged Wrestling Association, or NCWA for short. In his match Yatsu was able to give Tetsuya Endo the Bulldog Headlock as well as the Prison Lock. Sanshiro Takagi and Kuroshio TOKYO Japan also did their part so their team could beat BURNING.

There was a sponsor for Match #4 who presented Aja Kong with a special 18L steel can. Because it was such an important gift, Yukinori Matsui permitted her to use it as a weapon against Kazuki Hirata because it would be rude to stop her. After she won the match Katsumata and To-y bragged about how unbeatable the three of them are going to be in the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match on 21st July. Kong told Katsumata that when they win the titles, he has to carry her around like a princess. This is in reference to a picture of Kong carrying Katsumata from a few years ago.

The debut match for Odawara’s local mascot Umemaru begun without him because he was late to the venue. When he finally arrived he was out of energy and deflated in front of everyone. However he was able to recover and continue the match, winning by getting the pinfall on Pokotan.

Former Michinoku Pro and ZERO1 wrestler Naohiro Hoshikawa was in attendance for the show. He is wheelchair bound due to injuries but he was able to approach the ringside apron and greet the audience.

MAO Runs Away From The 37KAMIINA, Full Cards For Summer Sun Princess And Wrestler Peter Pan

July 1, 2024

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2024 IN UENO”, 05/07/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Kazuki Hirata & Kazuma Sumi Vs Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Ilusion
2. Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi Vs HARASHIMA, Keigo Nakamura & Yuki Ishida
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku Vs Chris Brookes, Takeshi Masada & Yukio Naya
4. No DQ I Quit Match: Antonio Honda Vs Invisible Leonardo DiCaprio
5. Special Tag Match ~ Unagi Warriors Vs Brahman Brothers!: Sanshiro Unagi & Sayaka Unagi Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs DAMNATION T.A?: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs MAO, Daisuke Sasaki & KANON (w/ MJ Paul)

Coming out of yesterday’s show MAO has made the dramatic decision to run away from The 37KAMIINA for the time being. He feels it would be best for him to fight against the group so both he and Yuki Ueno will be at their most motivated heading into Sumo Hall. So for most of July MAO is hopping from unit to unit across DDT in 6-Man Tag Matches against his friends. Out of all the groups he could team up with, DDT is trying him out with DAMNATION T.A first. He is well aware they could stab him in the back but is willing to risk it so he can wrestle against Ueno more often.

DDT “ROAD TO PETER PAN 2024 TOUR IN ODAWARA”, 07/07/2024
Kanagawa Odawara Arena Sub Arena

1. Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Keigo Nakamura & Yuki Ishida
2. Daisuke Sasaki & KANON Vs Soma Takao & Makoto Oishi
3. Odawara City Tourism PR Character Umemaru Pro Wrestling Debut Match: Umemaru, Akito & Yuni Vs Pokotan, Antonio Honda & Kazuma Sumi
4. The 37KAMIINA Vs. D.O.A?: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs MAO, Jun Akiyama & Danshoku Dieno
5. Special Single Match: Aja Kong Vs Kazuki Hirata
6. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA Vs Yukio Naya
7. Sanshiro Takagi Indefinite Rest Road ~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Yoshiaki Yatsu & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan Vs Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku

Next MAO will try teaming with D.O.A. It’s a trio full of wildcards so maybe it is a better fit than it looks on paper.

DDT “ROAD TO PETER PAN 2024 TOUR IN SHINJUKU”, 10/07/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. KANON 5th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: TAKA Michinoku Vs KANON
2. Special Single Match: Yuki Iino Vs Go Shiozaki
3. The 37KAMIINA Vs SCHADENFREUDE International?: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs MAO, Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda

Then MAO gives SCHADENFREUDE International a shot. This should be the only other unit in DDT where he feels at home. There’s another show on the schedule this month so MAO might get a chance to team with BURNING or whatever’s currently left of Harimao.

Actually, maybe not with BURNING. Their focus is on preparing to defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles against TEAM NOAH. After a few clashes that happened in both DDT and NOAH recently, Yuki Iino has demanded a singles match against Go Shiozaki to prove who is better.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’24”, 20/07/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Wakana Uehara, Toga & Runa Okubo Vs HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Haru Kazashiro

5. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Nao Kakuta
6. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Mizuki & Emi Sakura
7. Special Single Match: Aja Kong Vs Shoko Nakajima
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Suzume & Arisu Endo (c) Vs Yuki Arai & Moka Miyamoto
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi

This is the complete lineup and match order for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’24”. The show has Emi Sakura, Mei Suruga and Yuna Manase calling by for some standout matches on the undercard. Sakura is teaming with Mizuki after they were opponents at “GRAND PRINCESS ’24” back in March. Together they take on 121000000. Suruga meets Uta Takami for the first time. She might end up reacting to Takami the same way everyone else reacts to her.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2024”, 21/07/2024
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Keigo Nakamura, Yuki Ishida & Kazuma Sumi Vs Yuni, Yuya Koroku & Ilusion

4. Special Single Match: Super Sasadango Machine Vs Kazuki Hirata
5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles – Survival 4 Way 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Akito & Yasu Urano (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul Vs Aja Kong, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs Masahiro Takanashi, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada

9. Dramatic Dream Match: El Desperado Vs Chris Brookes
10. KO-D Openweight Title – Goodcom Assets Presents: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs MAO

Ten matches takes up this year’s “WRESTLE PETER PAN”. In what will be Sanshiro Takagi’s final match for the time being, he faces his longtime rival Danshoku Dieno in the dreaded Weapon Rumble where mystery weapons are added every couple of minutes. The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles are now being defended in a Survival 4 Way Match. Smile Squash has to defend the belts against DAMNATION T.A, SCHADENFREUDE International and The 37KAMIINA with Aja Kong as their long awaited third member. We even get friends of Takagi taking part in their own match. It includes Munenori Sawa and I think the first ever DDT appearance of Hisamaru Tajima.

HARASHIMA Vs Naya Rematch, Water Lumberjack Death Match, 3 Way For 6-Man Tag Titles

June 25, 2024

DDT “SANSHIRO TAKAGI VS SUPER SASADANGO MACHINE ONE MATCH EVENT”, 26/06/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Super Sasadango Machine

Apparently a lot of the wacky novelty tickets for the show have in fact been sold. Also Super Sasadango Machine tried inviting Toru Yano to come see the match in person. Unfortunately Yano’s schedule is too busy for him to attend the show tomorrow.

DDT “TODEN PRO WRESTLING”, 29/06/2024
Tokyo Sakura Tram (Toden Arakawa Line)

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

A busy week for Sanshiro Takagi. He has the wrestling match in a tram with Minoru Suzuki happening a few days later.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “PRECIOUS TIME ’24”, 29/06/2024
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX

1. Haru Kazashiro Vs Chika Nanase
2. Wakana Uehara Vs Uta Takami
3. Maki Itoh Vs Runa Okubo
4. Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Kira Summer Vs Raku, Pom Harajuku & HIMAWARI
5. Miyu Yamashita & Toga Vs Mizuki & Shino Suzuki
6. Miu Watanabe, Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Rika Tatsumi, Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami
7. Shoko Nakajima & Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Nao Kakuta & Yuki Aino

Now that Moka Miyamoto is looking for a Princess Tag Team Titles match in the future she needs to go find a partner. Could her match here provide a clue? If “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’24” is the destination for her title challenge then that rules Rika Tatsumi out of the equation but not Kaya Toribami. Does Toribami fight with the same passion as Miyamoto though? Doesn’t seem like a good fit to me.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2024”, 30/06/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Yuni Vs Ilusion Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi Vs Yukio Naya & Keigo Nakamura
3. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul Vs Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Akito & Soma Takao Vs Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Takeshi Masada
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ BURNING Vs TEAM NOAH!: Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku Vs Go Shiozaki, Atsushi Kotoge & Hi69

7. Sanshiro Takagi Indefinite Rest Road ~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Yoshiaki Yatsu & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan Vs Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku

The last time HARASHIMA and Yukio Naya fought each other was for a No. 1 Contender’s match back in February 2023. Naya won that match during his main event push for DDT’s anniversary show that year. Can Naya win again in the rematch or has HARASHIMA’s constant training caught him back up to the young heavyweight?

There hasn’t been much about D.O.A as a unit to talk about since they lost the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. They have a chance to shove their way back into a crowded title scene if they beat The 37KAMIINA here.

Meanwhile To-y from The 37KAMIINA is also making demands for a title shot with Shunma Katsumata and an unknown third man as his partners. Smile Squash decided to let both teams fight them in a 3 Way Match for the titles so everything can get cleared up once the dust settles. As to who Katsumata & To-y are teaming with, they keep declining to say who it is out loud.

Chiba Aqua Yukari

1. DDT Extreme Title – Falls Count Anywhere Survival 5 Way Match: Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Yukio Naya Vs To-y Vs Ilusion Vs Kazuma Sumi

I think Kazuma Sumi still has the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title so tomorrow night’s match at the sauna could end up having two championships on the line.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “PRECIOUS TIME ’24”, 29/06/2024
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX

1. Shoko Nakajima & Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Nao Kakuta & Yuki Aino

3. The 37KAMIINA Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul

News about this show went haywire during the week. First it was announced that Antonio Honda would face The Invisible Man in a singles match. Then a few days later The Invisible Man pulled out of the booking due to what was only described as “various circumstances” by DDT. A replacement was found though and Honda has a new opponent. It is Invisible Leonardo DiCaprio! It is a matchup so big that Honda asked DDT to make it a No DQ I Quit match! It will only end when either Honda or DiCaprio says “I Quit” into a microphone.

Kanagawa Odawara Arena Sub Arena

1. Odawara City Tourism PR Character Umemaru Pro Wrestling Debut Match: Umemaru, Akito & Yuni Vs Pokotan, Antonio Honda & Kazuma Sumi

In the same month when the Olympics begins, DDT is heading over to Odawara to meet up with Yoshiaki Yatsu again. Kuroshio TOKYO Japan will be there as well to create the weird trio of Sanshiro Takagi, Yatsu & Kuroshio.

This show will not be the first time Kazuki Hirata and Aja Kong will be fighting each other in a singles match. Back in 2016 Hirata won a Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract except the prize was to go on a date with Kong whenever he wanted. He had no choice but to cash in the prize and go on the date where they actually came close to hitting it off. However Hirata got cold feet and left Kong feeling rejected. Kong got her revenge by crashing the next DDT show afterwards and beating Hirata in an impromptu match. I should know. I was there (at the show, not the date)! Have broken hearts been healed over 8 years later?

Odawara’s local mascto Umemaru will make its pro wrestling debut. As usual when this kind of thing happens in DDT, Pokotan will be in the match too so it can show its mascot superiority in the ring.

A few days later Kakuta will have her graduation match and her last opponent will be no other than Mizuki!

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING”, 21/09/2024
Naraha Town, Fukushima

DDT is teaming up with To-y’s home of Naraha Town in Fukushima for the area’s migration campaign. The town was evacuated after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake until 2015 when town recovery efforts went into effect. DDT is getting involved with this year’s project by having one of their wrestlers become an ambassador for the area. To-y has been in the role before but now Shunma Katsumata is taking over to help promote the town. However the town’s mascot Yuzutaro objected to the idea because it claims To-y recently ate and drank too much of the local delicacies without paying for it. According to Yuzutaro, the damage to the town’s reputation caused by this will cost To-y one trillion yen! If To-y is unable to pay it back then Yuzutaro suggested he work jobs in Naraha until the debt is repaid. Katsumata thought that was a fair idea and offered to give up his role so To-y can be the ambassador again for a second year in a row. To-y had no choice but to accept the arrangement, although he has to be recognized as an unofficial ambassador due to the circumstances. One of the events DDT will do to promote the town is hold a Falls Count Anywhere match somewhere in the town this September.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2023 TOUR IN ODAWARA” Results

June 4, 2023

DDT “JAPAN PARA-WRESTLING FEDERATION CHARITY SHOW ~ WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2023 TOUR IN ODAWARA”, 04/06/2023
Kanagawa Odawara Arena Sub Arena
280 Fans

1. DAC Co., Ltd. Presents: Takeshi Masada defeated Rukiya with the Samurai Driver ’01 (5:54).
2. Minami Kamomiya Sports Bar Flat Presents: Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani defeated Kazuki Hirata & Toy Kojima when Akai pinned Hirata with the Quetzalcoatl (10:48).
3. Ramen Honda Presents: Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno defeated Soma Takao & Kazuma Sumi when Iino pinned Sumi with a Lariat (0:06).
3a. Rematch: Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno defeated Soma Takao & Kazuma Sumi when Dieno pinned Sumi with the Danshoku Driver (7:48).
4. Hair Space Ottimo Presents DAMNATION T.A Vs BURNING!: Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku when Paul pinned Koroku with the Death Valley Bomb (10:46).
5. Taniyama Gym Iyamasama Presents Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno defeated Akito with the WR (11:23).
6. Izakaya Takusama Presents Odawara Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yoshiaki Yatsu, Tetsuya Endo & Jun Akiyama defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Makoto Oishi when Yatsu submitted Oishi with the Prison Lock (12:24).
7. Miyake Battery Service Co., Ltd. Presents Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuji Hino, HARASHIMA & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Kazusada Higuchi, MAO & Yuki Ishida when HARASHIMA pinned Ishida with the Somato (16:26).

Today’s show was a charity event DDT held along with Yoshiaki Yatsu and the Japan Para-Wrestling Federation. Every match on the card had a local sponsor attached to it. During the show Yatsu announced that the Federation recently became a non-profit organization. He is the only athlete attached to it so far but he thinks there will be more disabled wrestlers and martial artists joining him in the future. He also said DDT was the first place to let him wrestle using his prosthetic leg. When he competes in amateur wrestling bouts he cannot wear the leg and has to start from the mount position. He admits it hurts to put on the leg but once he steps into the ring the pain goes away. Then the leg becomes a useful weapon!

One of the guests on the show was Martin-san from the NTV show ZIP! He was the ring announcer for Match #2 and was also supposed to give a bouquet of flowers to his favorite wrestler Danshoku Dieno before Match #3. However Kazuma Sumi charged Yuki Iino, starting the match before Martin could hand over the gift. Iino instantly pinned Sumi with a Lariat. The whole thing made Hisaya Imabayashi mad because DDT was embarrassing Martin. He ordered an immediate rematch and decided whoever scored the pin would receive the bouquet from Martin as well as a kiss. Needless to say that was all the motivation Dieno needed to pin Sumi with the Danshoku Driver. He got his prizes from Martin afterwards.

Another guest at the show was retired wrestler Naohiro Hoshikawa. He stood out of his wheelchair to greet the fans and received applause in return. Hoshikawa had wrestled for Michinoku Pro, Osaka Pro and ZERO1 until a subdural hematoma suffered during a match in 2004 ended his wrestling career.

DDT confirmed that Chris Brookes dislocated his right shoulder yesterday. He will be resting for three weeks but no date has been given yet for when he can return to wrestling. This weekend’s shows have been changed around to make up for Brookes’ absence. Kazusada Higuchi is living up to his promise to help Brookes prepare for the KO-D Openweight Title match as much as he can and still intends to put Yuji Hino’s to the test this weekend.

The Yokohama show is changed a lot because of Brookes’ injury. Masahiro Takanashi replaces him in the main event, MAO now has to team with Mei Suruga again, Yuni will be teaming with Yuki Ueno to fight their bosses Sanshiro Takagi & Akito plus more changes were made down the card.
