The young trio of Daichi Sato, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi will be getting some tough matches at the Beer Garden this time around. Kazusada Higuchi is the common opponent on both teams facing them.

Shuichiro Katsumura & Takuya Wada better use their preparation time getting to know the best way to disarm a chainsaw wielding maniac.

DDT “D GENERATIONS 4 ~DDT MEET & GREET & FIGHT JULY~” Results

July 2, 2025

DDT “D GENERATIONS 4 ~DDT MEET & GREET & FIGHT JULY~”, 02/07/2025
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans

1. Soma Takao defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with a Rotating Cradle (9:18).
2. Hideki Okatani defeated Lil’ Kraken with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (10:24).
3. Takeshi Masada defeated Ryoma Tsukamoto with the Masada no Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (12:16).
4. Special Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated To-y & Yuya Koroku when Irie pinned Koroku with the Beast Bomber (13:46).
5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ishida & Kazuma Sumi defeated Shota & Kazuki Hirata when Sumi pinned Hirata with the School Boy (0:16).
5a. Rematch: Yuki Ishida & Kazuma Sumi defeated Shota & Kazuki Hirata when Sumi pinned Hirata with the School Boy (12:36).
6. Battle Royal: Kazuma Sumi defeated Takeshi Masada and To-y by Double Ring Out (6:18).
Order Of Elimination: Yuki Ishida, Yuya Koroku, Takeshi Masada & To-y.

Momentum is building up for D GENERATIONS in their feud with the Young Communication. What started out as a spur of the moment show to showcase DDT’s fresh blood is quickly starting to develop itself into a proper sub-brand. The D GENERATIONS group are in the middle of developing their own logo so they decided the winner of the main event Battle Royal would get their colour used for the final logo. Kazuma Sumi ended up winning by eliminating both Takeshi Masada & To-y at the same time. What happened was Masada and To-y were both knocked out of the ring but were caught by Yuki Ishida and Yuya Koroku without touching the floor. Sumi then did a Topé Suicida to knock them all down. Since he went throuh the rope instead of over it, that meant he didn’t eliminate himself so he won the match! The logo will now be in his colour which is yellow because that colour represents happiness. He thinks it will be a suitable colour for the logo that will liven up D GENERATIONS while he makes it even more exciting.

The home side were braced for danger when Shota warned he would be bringing along a secret weapon for this show but it just turned out to be Kazuki Hirata. He was quickly pinned by Sumi and didn’t realized until afterwards what his role as Secret Weapon X was meant to be so he demanded a restart. He & Shota put up a bigger fight this time but Sumi & Ishida were still able to beat them a second time. Hirata praised his younger opponents for being so strong. He claims to have nothing left to teach them so he wishes them luck in surpassing the Young Communication. Shota was annoyed that Hirata kept forgetting who the enemy was and promised to bring a proper Secret Weapon X next time.

At this point it looks like the Young Generation are bring propped up by Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie. They proved to still be to high a wall for D GENERATIONS to climb over after they defeated To-y & Koroku.

1. Soma Takao Vs Munetatsu Nakamura
2. Takeshi Masada Vs Ryoma Tsukamoto
3. Hideki Okatani Vs Lil’ Kraken
4. Special Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs To-y & Yuya Koroku

The war between D GENERATIONS and Young Communication isn’t over by a long shot. Shota has promised to bring someone new into the fold while Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie have yet to be directly beaten by any of their juniors. The D GENERATIONS are also competing against themselves in a Battle Royal for the main event.

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

1. Dance V Idol Battle Without Honor & Humanity ~ Special Single Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuni
2. Falls Count Anywhere Crocodile Death Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada
3. KANON 6th Anniversary Match ~ Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno

Years ago when Yuni was just a little boy, he feuded with Kazuki Hirata because that was the level Hirata had to fall down towards just to get a fair fight. Now that Yuni has grown up it’s time to reignited the rivalry with the bonus power of idol dancing involved.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YOSHIKO HASEGAWA GRADUATION EVENT – NONFICTION”, 08/07/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 2: X Vs X
2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 2: X Vs X
3. Yoshiko Hasegawa Graduation Commemorative Match ~ 1 Vs 27 Handicap Match: Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Mizuki, Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao, Suzume, Rika Tatsumi, Maki Itoh, Yuki Kamifuku, Yuki Aino, Miu Watanabe, Raku, Pom Harajuku, Mahiro Kiryu, Moka Miyamoto, Arisu Endo, Yuki Arai, Kaya Torbami, Wakana Uehara, HIMAWARI, Toga, Shino Suzuki, Haru Kazashiro, Mifu Ashida, Kira Summer, Chika Nanase, Uta Takami, Ren Konatsu & Ivy Steele

Well, Yoshiko Hasegawa said she wanted to fight everyone in Tokyo Joshi Pro before she retires so TJPW made sure nobody will be left out of her final match. It is a 1 Vs 27 Handicap Match but only one person on the team of 27 is allowed in the ring at one time and tags are in effect. It has not been decided yet how many falls the match will consist of. One definitely won’t be enough and previous retirement matches of this scale have done three falls.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “QUERI PRESENTS TJPW LIVE IN HOUSTON – NIGHT 2”, 11/07/2025
POST, Houston, Texas, USA

An extra name has been added to the Texas tour. Wakana Uehara will be part of the weekend and there might be a good reason why. All of a sudden Miyu Yamashita is no longer able to perform on the 11th July show. That just so happens to be the same day as the next Ring Of Honor PPV and she has started appearing on their shows again. I mean it’s either that or she’s taking a flight to Tennessee for Smackdown (I kid, I kid). Yamashita will still be at the morning fan event in Houston.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2025 IN SHINJUKU – DAY 1”, 15/07/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Hikaru Sato

The new DDT Extreme Champion put up a poll on Twitter asking fans who he should defend the title against first? To-y narrowed the choices down to wrestlers who have at least 5,000 followers and made fans choose between Yasu Urano, Kentaro Hachisu, Hikaru Sato and Mikiya Sasaki (with Shota in his corner). Sato won the vote pretty handily so he gets the title match. It wouldn’t be the first time a fan vote results in Sato winning a DDT championship.

DDT “D GENERATIONS 3 ~ACCELERATING BATTLE, UNSTOPPABLE AMBITION~” Results

June 12, 2025

DDT “D GENERATIONS 3 ~ACCELERATING BATTLE, UNSTOPPABLE AMBITION~”, 12/06/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Ryoma Tsukamoto defeated Yuki Ishida with the Jackhammer (9:21).
2. To-y defeated Mikiya Sasaki with the Kojima Impact (8:53).
3. Munetatsu Nakamura defeated Yuni with the Mune-chan Clutch (10:30).
4. Special Single Match: Soma Takao Vs Daichi Sato ended in a Time Limit Draw (15:00).
5. Special Single Match: Keisuke Ishii defeated Yuya Koroku with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (12:42).
6. Special Tag Match: Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi defeated Shigehiro Irie & Shota when Masada pinned Shota with the Masada no Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (18:59).

Progress is being made for the D GENERATIONS wrestlers on their own show. The main event of their third produce show had Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi beat Shigehiro Irie & Shota from the Young Communication side. It nearly went the other way when Shota caught Masada with the Gannosuke Clutch but Sumi was there to break the pin. Sumi then took out Irie with a Topé Suicida allowing Masada the space to give Shota his finisher for the victory. Masada had good news to share with fans after the match because he announced there will be a D GENERATIONS show every month from now on. The goal is to have a show where D GENERATIONS earn a clean sweep of wins across the card.

The Young Communication generation aren’t too bothered by losing the main event. Keisuke Ishii won his match against Yuya Koroku while Soma Takao fought Daichi Sato to a time limit draw. Shota said backstage that he is only the weakest member of the Young Generation and nobody in D GENERATIONS has been able to beat Irie or Ishii yet. He also warned there are other wrestlers who were part of the Young Communication and he may bring some of them over for the next show.

To-y considered Mikiya Sasaki to be a crazy opponent because of his Dory Funk Jr. influenced wrestling style so he wanted to absorb that weird craziness into himself. They fought outside the ring and Sasaki wore down To-y with old school punches and the Spinning Toe Hold. But To-y made a comeback and was able to win using the Kojima Impact. All of this was to help To-y become even crazier for his upcoming DDT Extreme Title shot against Super Sasadango Machine.

BASARA “BASARA 279 ~UTAGE~” Results

May 23, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 279 ~UTAGE~”, 23/05/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – A Block Final: Keisuke Ishii defeated Takumi Tsukamoto with a Knee Kick (7:01).
2. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – B Block Final: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Daiki Shimomura with the V Slider (5:37).
3. Isami Kodaka, TAMURA☆GENE☆ & Tomoki Hatano defeated Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Yasu Urano when Hatano pinned Urano with the Diving Guillotine Drop (13:28).
4. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Daichi Kazato ended in a Draw when both gave up at the same time (8:46).
5. Ryuichi Sekine, FUMA & Ayumu Honda defeated SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita when FUMA pinned Kraken with a German Suplex (10:44).
6. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Final: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Keisuke Ishii with the V Slider (15:44).

Ryota Nakatsu has now cemented himself as the most dominant wrestler in BASARA after winning the Chouten ~Itadaki~ for the third time in his career. Nakatsu beating Daiki Shimomura and Ishii beating Takumi Tsukamoto earlier in the show meant the final became BASARA Vs Ganbare☆Pro. Nakatsu kicked out of the High Angle Double Arm DDT and used a combination of German Suplex, Buzzsaw Kick and then the V Slider to win. Kazusada Higuchi stood in Nakatsu’s corner for the match and afterwards Nakatsu told him they will take the top spots of DDT and BASARA together! Backstage Ishii said he does not want his battles with BASARA to end because they have a lot of people he hasn’t fought yet. He would like to continue participating on their shows.

Since Nakatsu is already the Union MAX Champion, he decided that by winning this tournament he gets to decide his next title match. It will happen at the 3rd August Korakuen Hall show. He already expected to defend the title against the Chouten winner on that show and joked the Korakuen match will be Ryota Nakatsu Vs Ryota Nakatsu. Right now there is nobody he is interested in so he is beginning a new journey to find out who his challenger should be.

The Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Daichi Kazato match had Takeru Inoue interfering twice, once while wearing the Best Stretchman V3 costume and the other time while wearing the Judomaster outfit.

KUBITO was in attendance to give everyone an update on his health. At the 18th April BASARA show he collapsed at ringside during one of the matches and was rushed to hospital. His tests since then have showed abnormalities but he will remain out of action until the summer. He told fans he will be spending his time living happily from now own.

Chouten ~Itadaki~ And King Of DDT Finals Coming Up, Summer Injured, D GENERATIONS 3

May 22, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 279 ~UTAGE~”, 23/05/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – A Block Final: Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Keisuke Ishii
2. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – B Block Final: Daiki Shimomura Vs Ryota Nakatsu
3. Isami Kodaka, TAMURA☆GENE☆ & Tomoki Hatano Vs Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Yasu Urano
4. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Daichi Kazato
5. Ryuichi Sekine, FUMA & Ayumu Honda Vs SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita
6. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Final: X Vs X

A few of the annual summer tournaments are coming to an end this week. BASARA has the final rounds of the Chouten ~Itadaki~ taking place tomorrow. From where I’m standing it looks like Daiki Shimomura is on the path to redemption by winning the tournament a year after coming back from his suspension. However Keisuke Ishii can become the rare outsider to win the tournament and continue BASARA’s interactions with Ganbare☆Pro down the line. Ryota Nakatsu is the current Union MAX Champion whose goal is to win the tournament as champ so he can choose his next challenger. That leaves Takumi Tsukamoto hanging around as the only one in the semi final without much of a story going into tomorrow. I don’t get the feeling it’s his turn to get pushed soon either.

6. DDT Universal Title: Minoru Suzuki (c) Vs Danshoku Dieno
7. King Of DDT 2025 – Final: X Vs X

The King Of DDT is also down to its final four. Kazusada Higuchi is as always only focused on the next step in front of him. Yuki Ueno continues his mission to be the person who carries DDT but he is also realizing he has to stand out more. KANON has a chance to get revenge on Hideki Okatani but Ueno is expecting Okatani to reach the final over him. In response to that KANON wants Higuchi to make the final instead of Ueno.

DDT “THAT’S RIGHT! LET’S GO TO BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2025”, 03/06/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Referee Daisuke Kiso 15th Anniversary Match ~Special 6-Man Tag Match~: MAZADA, Minoru Fujta & Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Yasu Urano, Akito & Shoko Nakajima

For 15 years Daisuke Kiso has been doing his best to officiate the chaos and nonsense that happens in DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro rings. To celebrate he is gathering together six wrestlers who all mean a lot to him in some way for a 6-Man Tag Match. According to Kiso, MAZADA taught him the foundations of the wrestling world while Minoru Fujita once faced him in them middle of the crossroads between wrestling and life. Yasu Urano has already pointed him down the right path and Akito has been incredibly helpful to him ever since they started working together. Since TJPW means so much to him too he picked Shoko Nakajima to be in the match because she always puts her life on the line for the company. Last but not least he wants to be a part of Yoshiko Hasegawa’s retirement road and do everything he can to help her even if it’s just this little bit.

DDT “MY LOVE LETTER 2025”, 07/06/2025
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX

1. Antonio Honda 20th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Antonio Honda

Another important milestone happening this year is Antonio Honda’s 20th anniversary. Chris Brookes asked him if he wanted to do an entire show to celebrate it. Honda considered it would be suitable for a Baka Gaijin + Friends sized show but he doesn’t have the desire to run an event himself. Brookes then asked Honda who he would like his opponent to be and he answered maybe Daisuke Sasaki. Word eventually made its way to DDT and they went and booked the match just for him. He is grateful for it.

DDT “D GENERATIONS 3 ~ACCELERATING BATTLE, UNSTOPPABLE AMBITION~”, 12/06/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Keisuke Ishii Vs Yuya Koroku
2. Special Tag Match: Shigehiro Irie & Shota Vs Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi

So far the D GENERATIONS shows have seen the home side getting beaten and humiliated by the Young Communication wrestlers. For the third show the Young Generation are now thinking about taking the entire series over for themselves. Can’t blame Shota, Shigehiro Irie and Keisuke Ishii for acting that way if Takeshi Masada, Kazuma Sumi and Yuya Koroku can’t beat them.

BASARA “BASARA 278 ~KOO~” Results

May 14, 2025

BASARA “BASARA 278 ~KOO~”, 14/05/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino, Lil’ Kraken & Yasu Urano defeated Ryuichi Sekine, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Ayumu Honda & Reiya Igarashi when Nakano pinned Igarashi with the Takagari (14:01).
2. SAGAT & Minoru Fujita (w/ Takeru Inoue) Vs Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (w/ Gouma Ryu) ended in a Double Countout (3:07).
2a. Rematch – 3 Way Tag Match: SAGAT & Minoru Fujita and Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated Gouma Ryu & Takeru Inoue when SAGAT pinned Ryu and Oosugi pinned Inoue (1:35).
2b. Rematch: Takeru Inoue defeated Gouma Ryu by Pinfall (1:53).
3. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 2 Block B: Daiki Shimomura defeated Tomoki Hatano with the Shimomura-Style Hurricanrana (11:55).
4. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 2 Block A: Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Daichi Kazato when Tsukamoto pinned Kazato with the Spinning Zudon (11:55).
5. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 2 Block B: Ryota Nakatsu defeated FUMA with the V Slider (12:50).
6. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 2 Block A: Keisuke Ishii defeated Isami Kodaka with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (13:38).

Four wrestler remain in the Chouten ~Itadaki~ tournament. The outsider Keisuke Ishii dumped BASARA’s own Isami Kodaka out of the bracket in the main event. It was their first singles match against each other in 12 years. Kodaka told Ishii afterwards they shouldn’t have to wait that long again to have a rematch. Ishii will face Takumi Tsukamoto in the semi final in what will be their first singles match together in around 15 years. Tsukamoto couldn’t beat Daichi Kazato with the regular Zudon so he had to use a spinning variant to get the three count. Daiki Shimomura is on a tournament run that could end up becoming his redemption for the year long suspension he went through. He eliminated Tomoki Hatano and will now face Ryota Nakatsu who he has beaten before in the 2021 tournament. Nakatsu defeated FUMA to reach the semi finals and is currently feeling in top form. He thinks Shimomura hasn’t got any heart and the two almost got into a fight backstage during the post-show interviews.
