Sasadango-gun: Super Sasadango Machine, MAO, Kazuki Hirata, Akito

Yano-gun: Toru Yano, El Desperado, Ryusuke Taguchi, Tomoaki Honma

Something fishy is going on with the latest additions to the DDT Vs New Japan show. Both Yuki Ueno and Aaron Wolf will be there but as guests for an autograph session rather than participants in the five match series. I mean what are the chances that something will happen during the show that will draw both wrestlers into the ring for some action?

Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Ilusion Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul Vs Junta Miyawaki, KANON & Yuki Ishida
3. Special 3 Way 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs Yuki Ueni, Naomi Yoshimura & Rukiya Vs Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Akito

There will be some time for Hideki Okatani and Junta Miyawaki to wrestle each other before they fight for the DDT Extreme Title next month.

3. Falls Count Anywhere 4 Way Tag Match: Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Jun Akiyama Vs MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO)

DDT are expecting the appearance of Jun Akiyama on a Beer Garden show to result in more chaos than usual.

DDT “LET’S GO! BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026”, 18/06/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Yuki Ueno Vs Hinata Kasai
2. Crocodile Death Match BEYOND: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs MAO, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO)
3. Ring Removal Death Match: HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata Vs Shunma Katsumata, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi

Okay so whenever Michinoku Pro does their Great Space War what usually happens is the ring gets deconstructed as the match progresses. There’s also been a couple of times when Big Japan have done a death match where the ring is stripped bare of all its padding so the ring is pretty much close to dismantled anyway. I think this is going to be the first time DDT is trying out the gimmick for a match and it’s going to be during a time when a lot people will be drunk. What could go wrong?

SUPER JAPAN “BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING”, 06/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Unpaid Rumble RETURNS!: X Vs X
2. Special Single Match: Ken Ohka Vs Hayabusa
3. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs CIMA

Welcome to 2026 where a Japanese company can book a rematch from a virtually unknown WCW bout that was held in Oakland 29 years ago. CIMA got to team up with Yuji Nagata at the last Super Japan show so now he wants to face him one on one for the first time since they met in WCW almost three decades ago.

The goal of Ken Ohka ever since he launched Ganbare☆Pro was to do his part in turning pro wrestling into a major sport. That includes livening up the wrestling scene whatever way he can. He currently thinks a lot of the other indies are not doing the same so he threw out a challenge to Hayabusa from ZERO1 to help create a spark.

SUPER JAPAN “A PRO WRESTLING SHOW WITHOUT A NAME” Results

May 27, 2026

SUPER JAPAN “A PRO WRESTLING SHOW WITHOUT A NAME”, 27/05/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Shota defeated Miles Karu with the Frog Splash (7:23).
2. Special Single Match: Pero Pero Oyakata defeated Da Pump Matsumoto with the Ultimate Pero Pero Driver (7:58).
3. Marika Kobashi & Matsuzawa-san defeated Non Toraga & Riara when Kobashi pinned Riara with the Sliding Guillotine (9:56).
4. Ken Ohka & Mac Matsushita defeated Thanomsak Toba & Hyo Ogawa when Ohka pinned Ogawa with the Spear Of Flame (9:21).
5. Special Tag Match: Satoshi Kojima & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa defeated Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei when Kojima pinned Kei with the Lariat (14:07).
6. Special Tag Match: “Blue Hebi Justice” Yuji Jagata & CIMA defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Poison Sawada JULIE when CIMA pinned Takagi with the Meteora (12:16).

On the day when New Japan changed ownership and created a shift in power across the pro wrestling scene, Super Japan went ahead and held their latest show with Yuji Nagata getting caught up in DDT hijinks. At the start of the show Nagata joined Sanshiro Takagi and advisor Masayuki Uchida to celebrate the fan voted continuation of Super Japan with a toast of energy drinks. However when they all drank it, Poison Sawada JULIE came out and revealed he swapped out Nagata’s drink with an extract of snake magic! Nagata collapsed in the ring and was taken back to the locker room to get help while Takagi suddenly wrapped up Uchida in tape and kidnapped him under JULIE’s orders!

It was all going according to plan for JULIE. He formed a new alliance with Takagi after being enemies with him in DDT for years and now had Nagata under his control. CIMA had to fight all three of them by himself in the main event with Nagata having fully transformed into a Snake Magic version called “Blue Hebi Justice” Yuji Jagata. Uchida was able to free himself backstage and used a mirror to reflect a spell back at JULIE. He also fed Nagata an antitode that gradually returned him back to normal. Nagata used the powers of his Salute pose to fight off JULIE’s magic while CIMA pinned Takagi with the Meteora to win the match. CIMA then brought up the match he had with Nagata in WCW 29 years ago. He was only 19 years old and 2 months into his career back then. He was dominated into defeat and has wanted a rematch ever since so he challenged Nagata to a singles match on 6th July! Nagata said he has no reason to refuse so he will give CIMA his all at the next Super Japan show.

In a moment that came and went in a blink of an eye, Kota Ibushi was seen standing at the entrance way waiting for Takagi after the main event. He reached out to Takagi and helped him walk to the back. Ibushi has not been seen on a DDT related event since his falling out with the company back in October 2024.

Having a pro wrestling career that spans across 35 years means you get to see a lot of different things happen. Satoshi Kojima used that sort of knowledge to help him fight off The Brahman Brothers. It helped that Munenori Sawa sacrificed himself by jumping in the way of an Ink Mist spot. By that point Kojima knew the plan was to fight as if he was a Brahman Brother himself. He suddenly started spewing out orange ink and used it to blind his opponents before beating them with the Lariat. Sawa was impressed to see first hand how Kojima can handle anything that gets thrown his way. Kojima though said he has no memory of what happened during the match. The Brahman Brothers were also amazed by Kojima and talked about wanting to team up with him next time just like they did with Nagata before.

Ken Ohka wants to do his bit to liven up Super Japan and came up with a big idea for a match to do on a future show. However neither Takagi nor Uchida were around after his match to hear about it. He had to wait until after the show to find Uchida and tell him he wanted to fight Hayabusa! Uchida agreed to book the match for 7th July.

GANBARE☆PRO “SUNSHINE CLEANING 2026” Results

May 6, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “SUNSHINE CLEANING 2026”, 06/05/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans

1. Moeka Haruhi defeated Chie Ozora with the Haruhi Rainbow (7:14).
2. Yuya Susumu & Reiya Igarashi defeated Keisuke Ishii & Sentaro Motoshima when Igarashi pinned Motoshima with the Fisherman Suplex (12:59).
3. Shuichiro Katsumura & YuuRI defeated Munetatsu Nakamura & Soi when YuuRI submitted Soi with the Spiral Dragon Sleeper (13:45).
4. Yumehito Imanari & Rekka defeated Mizuki Watase & Shota Kawakami when Imanari submitted Kawakami with a Headlock (18:56).
5. Ken Ohka, Akira Shoji & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Takuya Wada, Tyson Maeguchi & Fuminori Abe when Shoji pinned Maeguchi with the Toyama Black Driver (14:23).

The main event pitted wrestlers from Toyama against wrestlers from the Kanto region. When Akira Shoji scored the winning pin on Tyson Maeguchi, it didn’t take long for Ken Ohka to brag about Toyama winning because it is more urban while Kanto is filled with country bumpkins. Ohka then said when Shoji & Hideki Sekine win the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles, he and Shinichiro Tominaga will be the first to challenge them. Although Maeguchi lost directly to Shoji, he is still confident he can defend the tag titles against him. His reasoning is Shoji only has power and his slow speed is a big weakness that can be exploited. He also revealed he and Takuya Wada came up with a new team name. They are now called The Deadlock.

The Toyama team’s bragging didn’t go unnoticed by Shuichiro Katsumura. The Ganbare☆Pro show on 31st May with the tag title match is being held in his home city of Yokohama. He claims to have powerful allies over there so in order to counter the Toyama trio, he is forming the Yokohama City Naka Ward Association. Its three members are Katsumura, Minoru Fujita and Gouma Ryu. He warns this group is stronger than the Toyama team and he’s going to prove it!

GANBARE☆PRO “HATAAGE 13TH ANNIVERSARY – MAD MAX 2026” Results

April 29, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “HATAAGE 13TH ANNIVERSARY – MAD MAX 2026”, 29/04/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
588 Fans

1. PSYCHO, Choun Shiryu & Yuya Susumu defeated Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima when PSYCHO pinned Motoshima with the High Fly Bomb (9:57).
2. Ram Kaichow defeated Moeka Haruhi with the Onryo Clutch (6:55).
3. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match: Ryota Nakatsu & Masaaki Mochizuki defeated Ken Ohka & Guts Ishijima when Nakatsu pinned Ohka with a Spinning Leg Lock (10:32).
4. Akira Shoji & Hideki “Shrek” Sekine defeated Minoru Suzuki & Shuichiro Katsumura when Shoji pinned Katsumura with the Modified Jackhammer (13:33).
5. Utami Hayashihita defeated YuuRI with the Crusade (13:22).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi defeated Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) when Wada pinned Imanari with the Assault Point (13:46).
*Touchable fails in V3. Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi become the 6th Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Champions!
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Keisuke Ishii with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (22:07).
*V2 for Mizuki Watase.

In a rematch from three years ago, Mizuki Watase again defeated Keisuke Ishii to defend the Spirit Of Ganbare World. He was lucky to get out of there in one piece though. The match took so much out of both champion and challenger that Watase needed help being walked to the back afterwards. He felt fulfilled none the less, saying there is nothing in the world with the kind of nourishment that pro wrestling has. He is determined to turn Ganbare☆Pro into a huge wrestling company and lead the way. He also said he loves Ishii and believes today should put away any thoughts Ishii has of retiring from wrestling. Ishii said he felt annoyed over losing yet another Korakuen Hall main event. However he could feel his confidence growing throughout the match and will fight Watase head to head again some day. He promised to work hard to get into the condition needed to not only headline Korakuen Hall but win a main event there too after eight failed times at trying.

The Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles changed hands with two former champions now regaining the gold. Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi both held the belts before but with different partners. Today they defeated Touchable after a few close calls. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga almost had Maeguchi taken care of with the 3D. Imanari then hit Wada with the Lariat and Power Bomb but he kicked out from both moves. Wada turned things around and used the Assault Point to pin Imanari for the title change.

Last week Utami Hayashihita caused a stir when she announced she will be leaving her home promotion Marigold next month. Today was her first match since dropping that bombshell, facing YuuRI and beating her with the Crusade (Spinning Razor’s Edge Bomb). Hayashihita told reporters backstage that she is friends with YuuRI and they often drink together. She enjoyed the warm atmosphere of GanPro and is happy to see YuuRI grow in this environment. She compared the GanPro atmosphere to being surrounded by a big family, and she should know what that is like! When asked if she would ever come back here, Hayashihita said she isn’t thinking about the future at the moment, she’s living her present life to the fullest. YuuRI thinks Hayashihita has already decided on where she is going to go next and doesn’t know if they will ever be able to have another singles match together again. She will seize the chance if they can.

Akira Shoji & Hideki Sekine used the music of Pride Fighting Championship theme for their entrance and also their victory themes. When Minoru Suzuki & Shuichiro Katsumura attacked them with chairs at ringside, Suzuki mocked them by asking “What kind of Pride is this, you bastard?” Shoji got the win by using a Modified Jackhammer on Katsumura that he later named the Toyama Black Driver or TBD for short. Sekine said he and Shoji are the strongest pro wrestlers because they are both 52 years old and were born during the peak of Japan’s baby boom. The two of them are also carrying the legacies of Pride and RIZIN and think they can chase after the SOG Tag Titles next.

Ken Ohka cannot believe it’s been 25 years since his debut. He had his first match in the same year when Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motoshima were all born! He doesn’t know what he can realistically contribute to society but he hopes his wrestling can play a part in bringing peace to Japan and across the world. He fought as hard as he could with Guts Ishijima against Ryota Nakatsu & Masaaki Mochizuki but was ultimately rolled up into defeat on this day.

The match between Moeka Haruhi and Ram Kaichow was put together because the two of them both debuted in 2005. Haruhi tried winning by going for roll ups and other cradle moves but Kaichow caught her with the Onryo Clutch to get the three count instead.

In the leadup to the opening match, Nakamura revealed that he would avoid using Suplex type moves because he was coming back from a herniated cervical disc. He lived up to his word but the victory still went to the outsider team of PSYCHO, Choun Shiryu & Yuya Susumu.

Yuna Manase attended the show and gave reporters an update to her current health. She is still recovering from getting surgery on her collarbone two months ago because the bone has not fully healed yet. However her doctor noticed an abnormality in her blood tests and after getting an MRI, it was discovered that Manase has swelling in her ovaries. According to her doctor, the ovaries swelled up to five times the normal size and it was a miracle they did not burst while Manase was wrestling. She is currently waiting on the official diagnosis but she is under the impression that she will need to get another operation done soon. She told this to the reporters in order to get the message across about how important it is to regularly get health checkups. She hopes she can be fully recovered in time for GanPro’s next Korakuen show but it will likely take several more months before she can return to the ring.

GANBARE☆PRO “NEON DEMON 2026” Results

April 5, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “NEON DEMON 2026”, 05/04/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takuya Wada & Ryuma Sekimo defeated Shuichiro Katsumura & Sentaro Motoshima when Wada submitted Sekimo with a Front Choke (13:28).
2. Moeka Haruhi & YuuRI defeated Yuki Mashiro & Konomi Hori when YuuRI submitted Hori with a Flying Body Scissors Sleeper Hold (14:44).
3. Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Tyson Maeguchi with the Wine Hamon Overdrive (11:14).
4. Mizuki Watase & SUSHI defeated Keisuke Ishii & Leatherface when SUSHI pinned Ishii with a School Boy (10:35).
5. Ken Ohka, Guts Ishijima & Banana Senga defeated Yumehito Imanari, Fuminori Abe & Shota Kawakami when Ohka pinned Kawakami with the Flame Spear (19:32).

The main event was set up to help Ken Ohka prepare for his 25th Anniversary match taking place on 29th April at Korakuen Hall. He said afterwards he wants to make that show an exciting one with all of his friends. He then held a post-show talk with Guts Ishijima that was suddenly interrupted by Leatherface dragging Mizuki Watase into the ring. Keisuke Ishii got in and attacked Watase with the Double Arm Lock Driver before leaving the venue with his suitcase.

Leatherface was at the show because he was Ishii’s mystery partner for the tag team match against Watase and his surprise choice, SUSHI. Things went crazy in the end with Leatherface accidentally hitting Ishii with a Lariat. Watase then hit Ishii with an Elbow Butt, knocking him into a School Boy from SUSHI for the pinfall. Watase bragged that the result was decided from the start because he anticipated Ishii would bring in Leatherface but Ishii never expected Watase would tag with SUSHI.

After Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Tyson Maeguchi in a preview of the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles match, their respective partners Yumehito Imanari and Takuya Wada got into a staredown with each other. Backstage Imanari said he could feel the emotion in Maeguchi’s blows but he was the calmer wrestler today. The wrestlers with martial art backgrounds are scary because they are always ready to take on anyone. Touchable can be passionate too but they also calmly observe the situation as the match progresses. That’s why Touchable are confident they will defend the tag titles on 29th April. Maeguchi admitted he fell into his bad habit of rushing to win today. He wants to be perfectly prepared for the title match. Wada complained that everybody else are doing comical things in Ganbare☆Pro while he is trying to be serious.

GANBARE☆PRO “THERE WILL BE BLOOD 2026” Results

March 28, 2026

GANBARE☆PRO “THERE WILL BE BLOOD 2026”, 28/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
134 Fans

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title Next Challenger Determination – Round 1: Keisuke Ishii defeated Yuya Susumu with the Spinning Body Bomb (5:55).
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title Next Challenger Determination – Round 1: PSYCHO defeated Shuichiro Katsumura with the Reverse Clover Hold (8:49).
3. 3 Way Match: Moeka Haruhi defeated Taiwan Ramen Man and Hora-chan when Haruhi pinned Ramen Man and Hora-chan with a Double Jackknife Pin (9:10).
4. Mizuki Watase & Shigehiro Irie defeated Shota Kawakami & Sentaro Motojima when Watase submitted Motojima with a Crab Hold (12:54).
5. Rin defeated YuuRI with a Locomotion School Boy (12:06).
6. Yumehito Imanari, Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi defeated Ken Ohka, Shinichiro Tominaga & Akira Shoji when Maeguchi pinned Tominaga with the Ago Shitsurei Itashimasu (15:38).
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title Next Challenger Determination – Final: Keisuke Ishii defeated PSYCHO with a Tiger Suplex (12:07).

All this time spent demanding a match with Keisuke Ishii and Yuya Susumu lost to him in under six minutes? Well, Ishii was a man on a mission today because he was determined to become the No. 1 Contender for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title. He was Ganbare☆Pro’s last hope against the outside competition when PSYCHO eliminated Shuichiro Katsumura over on the other side of the bracket. Ishii was able to beat PSYCHO in the final and he joked about the fans and probably even Mizuki Watase were disappointed over the result. However, Watase reminded Ishii of the match they had at Korakuen Hall three years ago. He wants the two of them to surpass it in the same building on 29th April! Ishii said that date is when he is at his absolute best form. Watase thought about what he meant and remembered that is the date when Ishii won the All Asia Tag Team Titles back in 2014!

At the end of Match #6 Tyson Maeguchi came to the realization that he just beat one half of the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Champions and it was thanks to the other half. The finish of the match was Yumehito Imanari hitting Shinichiro Tominaga with a Lariat and then Maeguchi finished off Tominaga with the Flying Knee Kick. Maeguchi decided he should get a title shot against Touchable at the 29th April Korakuen show. Ken Ohka offered to be his tag partner but Maeguchi turned him down to team with Takuya Wada instead. Wada agreed, having already kept his schedule open hoping to get booked on the show. He warned everyone that he didn’t come back to GanPro to be treated like a punching bag again! Michiyoshi Mishima thought over their request and pointed out both Maeguchi and Wada are former tag champions but the physcial belts did not exist when Maeguchi was on the first champion team. Mishima felt the two of them would be perfect opponents for Touchable and agreed to book the match.

Shinjuku FACE Closing Down This Year, Super Japan You’re Confusing Me

March 10, 2026

DDT “ICHIKABACHIKA 2026”, 11/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE

0. Dark Match – Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer Vs Rika Tatsumi & Uta Takami
1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shinya Aoki, Junta Miyawaki & Viento Maligno Vs Chris Brookes, Kota Sekifuda & Hinata Kasai

5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Danshoku Dieno & Super Sasadango Machine
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) Vs Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato

Rumours were swirling around yesterday when a Japanese wrestling blog Kakutolog posted a story about Shinjuku FACE possibly shutting down its doors later this year. Sadly, today the venue’s management confirmed that Shinjuku FACE will be closing down on 30th September when their fixed-term lease with the building expires. To say this is a blow for the Japanese wrestling scene is an understatement given how so many wrestling companies are based in Tokyo and have relied on Shinjuku FACE to put on shows that aren’t on the level of Korakuen Hall but are still easy to access deep in the heart of that city. If Korakuen Hall is where you go to get a heat check on a wrestling company, Shinjuku FACE is where you will experience that company’s status quo. It will have a negative effect on the CyberFight promotions for sure because of how often they’ve booked shows in there over the last 20 years.

Kota Sekifuda has been brought in to take the place of the injured Yuni in Match #1.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26: FATE IN RYOGOKU”, 15/03/2026

The final match of Kaya Toribami in her current gimmick will be against HIMAWARI. After that Toribami will become Sakura Hattori.

BASARA “BASARA 302 ~TAKAGARI 33~”, 21/03/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Takeru Inoue Vs SAGAT
2. Daiki Shimomura Vs Masato Kamino
3. Isami Kodaka & Takato Nakano Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Tatsuya Hanami
4. FUMA & Seiya Morohashi Vs Daichi Kazato & Ayato Yoshida
5. Battle Royal: Ryota Nakatsu Vs Ryuichi Sekine Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Lil’ Kraken Vs Yasu Urano Vs Shuji Ishikawa

A little change of pace for the next BASARA show. A Battle Royal will take place and with Shuji Ishikawa taking part, the winner could be likely to get a Union MAX Title shot against him in the future. That’s the only reason I see this match happening.

SUPER JAPAN “JUDGEMENT”, 24/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. 3 Way Match: Hiroshi Yamato Vs Gym Trainer Kotoka Vs Ippanjin Munenori Sawa
2. Evil Uno & Ram Kaichow Vs Shota & Marika Kobashi
3. Special 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takashi Sasaki, Naoshi Sano & Demonio Uno Vs Brahman Shu, Brahman Kei & Mac Matsushita

5. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Fuminori Abe
6. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Kazunari Murakami
7. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Poison Sawada JULIE

What in the hell is this lineup? We’re getting a 6-Man Tag Match between “Goro Tsurumi’s Genes” against the “Toryumon Genes”. Evil Uno is teaming up with Ram Kaichow even though there is also Demonio Uno on the show. The Gym Trainer Kotoka is back to fight the ordinary salaryman Munenori Sawa and city council wrestler Hiroshi Yamato. That’s not all, NOSAWA Rongai is now threatening to invade Super Japan with Mummy wrestlers so who know what else is going to happen here. Maybe at the end of the show the fans vote to shut the whole thing down.

GANBARE☆PRO “THERE WILL BE BLOOD 2026”, 28/03/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Next Challenger Determination – Round 1: Keisuke Ishii Vs Yuya Susumu
2. Next Challenger Determination – Round 1: Shuichiro Katsumura Vs PSYCHO
3. YuuRI Vs Rin
4. Next Challenger Determination – Final: X Vs X

A mini tournament has been put together to decide who will be the next Japanese wrestler to face Mizuki Watase for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title (he wants to defend the belt in America next month). As part of this tournament Yuya Susumu will finally gets his long awaited singles match against Keisuke Ishii. The other side of the bracket sees Shuichiro Katsumura face PSYCHO.

A big month of singles matches lies ahead for YuuRI. She has two important opponents to fight soon, the first of which is Rin (aka Rin Kadokura) as part of Rin’s road to retirement.

DDT “NO SPOILERS EVENT VOL. 4 IN UENO”, 01/04/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Something With To-y & Kazuki Hirata: To-y Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Playfulness Series Act 5: Danshoku Dieno Vs Hinata Kasai
3. DAMNATION T.A Vs Fake Daisuke Sasaki Army!: Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Nise Daisuke Sasaki A, Nise Daisuke Sasaki B & Deka Daisuke Sasaki
4. Special 3-Way Tag Match ~ Best Friends (Mav) Superior: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata Vs Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA

A “No Spoilers” show being held on April Fool’s Day? Actually that might make it easy because nobody will be allowed to post prank results along with the real ones. By the time midnight comes it will be smooth sailing for me to post the results!

By this point Daisuke Sasaki will have started his tour of North America but while he is gone, three fakes of him are going to appear in his place. It will be up to the rest of DAMNATION T.A to deal with them.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING
143 Fans

1. Yumehito Imanari defeated Sentaro Motoshima with a Crab Hold (10:23).
2. Ken Ohka, Akira Shoji & Shin Suzuki defeated Choun Shiryu, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Chika when Shoji pinned Shiryu with the STO (10:13).
3. Shigehiro Irie defeated Shota Kawakami with the AUF DIE FRESSE (12:37).
4. Shoko Nakajima defeated YuuRI with the Northern Lights Suplex (16:18).
5. Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga when Susumu submitted Tominaga with the Crossface Lock (11:31).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Takuya Wada with the Venetian (16:08).
*V1 for Mizuki Watase.

The first title defence is in the bag but it almost could have gone so wrong for Mizuki Watase. He was ready to fight Takuya Wada, “The King Of Pancrase” and didn’t expect he would face Takuya Wada the pro wrestler. Watase kept simulating the match over and over to prepare for today and had the conclusion that as long as he wouldn’t give up to Wada’s submission holds, he would win in the end. That was proven right and he won by pinning Wada with the Venetian.

After the match Shuichiro Katsumura challenged Watase for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title and the champion said it is a match suitable to headline Korakuen Hall. That comment led to a chain reaction of different wrestlers getting into the ring. Keisuke Ishii said Katsumura was jumping the gun and if anybody deserved to be in a Korakuen title match main event again it is him. Then Yuya Susumu showed up complaining that Ishii should be fighting him next instead of getting a title shot again. PSYCHO also got into the ring to let everyone know he wants the next shot without actually saying anything. Michiyoshi Mishima thought a 4 Way Match should between everyone should determine the No. 1 Contender until someone shouted it should be a tournament instead. Mishima agreed and made a one day tournament for 28th March for the No. 1 Contendership. Ishii and Susumu will finally have their singles match while Katsumura faces PSYCHO. Meanwhile Watase said he wants to go have a title defence over in America before the next Korakuen show happens!

Shigehiro Irie must be missing Germany while the 16 Carat Gold Tournament is happening over there this weekend. He used his AUF DIE FRESSE finisher (holds the opponent’s arm in a Hammerlock behind their head and then knocks them down with an Elbow Butt) to win his match.

Some other matches were made for upcoming GanPro shows. On 28th March YuuRI will face Rin, the former Rin Kadokura who recently returned to wrestling but will be retiring from the business this upcoming May. Ken Ohka also wants to form a Toyama trio with Shinichiro Tominaga & Akira Shoji at that show. Then on 29th April there are two matches booked so far. The first is Ohka & Guts Ishijima Vs Masaaki Mochizuki & Ryota Nakatsu to celebrate Ohka’s 25th Anniversary in wrestling. The other match is YuuRI Vs Utami Hayashishita from Marigold!

5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) defeated Ken Ohka & Hiroaki Moriya when Imanari pinned Moriya with the Lariat (?:??).
*V2 for Touchable.

Although Ken Ohka & Hiroaki Moriya lost to Touchable in the title match main event, they still have belief in their abilities to change Japan in a positive way with their pro wrestling. Moriya told Ohka they just need to energize and do their best.

After Match #4, Yuto Kikuchi gestured to Mizuki Watase that he wants to fight him for a championship next time. Watase signalled that he can fight him for either the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title or the King Of FREEDOM World Tag Team Titles.
