DDT “BIG BATH REVIVAL! SHIRO NO YU ROJO PRO WRESTLING RETURNS”, 29/05/2022
Kumamoto Castle Natural Hot Spring
30 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Falls Count Anywhere Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata & Toi Kojima defeated Shinya Aoki & Yukio Naya when Katsumata pinned Aoki with the NeppoWER!! (52:58).

DDT returned to the natural hot spring in Kumamoto Castle for another Falls Count Anywhere match and this time a crowd of 30 fans were allowed to watch and follow the action. They got to see Yukio Naya Choke Slam Shunma Katsumata onto a pile of futons, Toi Kojima get locked inside a UFO Catcher game, Shinya Aoki Piledrive Kojima through a table and Katsumata put Naya through another table with a Diving Body Press from the top of a wall. Other than that all four wrestlers had a relaxing time brawling from bath to bath. Katsumata and Aoki took too much time in the sauna together that they both fainted. However Katsumata was found laying on top of Aoki so the referee treated it as a pin and counted to three.

DDT “DDT FREE -MAY-”, 11/05/2022
Shinjuku FACE

1. Saki Akai & Soma Takao Vs Maya Yukihi & Kazuki Hirata

7. Road To Audience 2022! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Antonio Honda Vs MAO, Asuka & Shunma Katsumata

A world tour is on the minds of CDK and Antonio Honda wants to join in. MAO needs the help from both of his tag team partners Shunma Katsumata & Asuka to make sure it will not be done at his expense.

While Tetsuya Endo waits for his next challenger to appear, BURNING will take on itself for a friendly tag match.

BASARA “BASARA 190 ~TAKAGARI 8~”, 14/05/2022
Takashimadaira Ward Community Center

1. Lil’ Kraken Vs Banana Senga
2. Daichi Kazato Vs Yasu Urano
3. Takato Nakano Vs Tsutomu Oosugi
4. Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura Vs SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa
5. Elimination 6-Man Tag Match: Takumi Tsukamoto, Fuminori Abe & Masato Kamino Vs FUMA, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Antonio Honda

I think Masato Kamino is the one to keep an eye on after his win against Isami Kodaka last month. Out of that line up in the main event he is the one I see getting the next Union MAX Title shot.

DDT “AUDIENCE 2022”, 22/05/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Toru Owashi & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Antonio Honda & Yuki Ishida
2. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs HARASHIMA & Akito
3. Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku Vs Yuji Hino, Yukio Naya, Ilusion & El Unicorn
4. Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Kazuki Hirata
5. Super Hardcore Girls Vs Prominence Full-Scale Battle ~ Special Hardcore Match: Carousel❤️Shun & Elizabeth❤️Toy Vs Suzu Suzuki & Akane Fujita
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi (c) Vs MAO & Asuka
7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles Tournament – Final: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani

The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles will either be won by Eruption or go back to DAMNATION T.A. The arrival of KANON to the unit along with Minoru Fujita still hanging around to interfere gives the previous champions the advantage. But Eruption aren’t in the mood to take on cheaters and Hideki Okatani in particular is looking to fight KANON.

The DDTeeeen!! pair are continuing to get big opportunities. Now Ilusion and El Unicorn are getting thrown in there with BURNING. They have the big boys Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya on their team to make it a more fair fight. Keep in mind there is a 38 year age difference between Jun Akiyama and El Unicorn.

DDT “BIG BATH REVIVAL! SHIRO NO YU ROJO PRO WRESTLING RETURNS”, 29/05/2022
Kumamoto Castle Natural Hot Spring

1. Falls Count Anywhere Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & Yukio Naya Vs Shunma Katsumata & Toui Kojima

For the first time DDT will hold a Falls Count Anywhere match inside the Kumamoto Hot Spring with an audience watching on. Thirty people will be allowed to see the match but they will be advised to be socially distant and be barefoot because they will get wet.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2022”, 01/06/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Battle Royal: Shinichiro Kawamatsu (c) (w/ Nobutatsu Suzuki) Vs X
2. DDT Extreme Title: Yuki “Sexy” Iino (c) Vs AKIRA
3. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Masahiro Takanashi

After a failed attempt by Pokotan to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title, DDT have booked Shinichiro Kawamatsu to defend the belt in a Battle Royal. However he has hired former MMA fighter Nobutatsu Suzuki as his bodyguard and he will be there to protect his client from all threats.

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

1. NOAH Vs DDT Battle ~ Special Single Match: Kenoh Vs Daisuke Sasaki
2. GHC Heavyweight Title: Go Shiozaki (c) Vs Satoshi Kojima

The full card will be revealed on 10th May. The latest drama surrounding NOAH is NOSAWA Rongai leaving the company after his contract was not renewed. NOAH’s business under his watch as booker has apparently not made the higher ups (as in those above Sanshiro Takagi) in CyberFight/CyberAgent happy. Kendo Kashin is said to be the new booker and I worry about that. He has such a bizarre sense of humour when he does his own angles and is left to his own devices. I have no idea what to expect when he has an entire company worth of storylines to deal with. There are also rumours of frustration among certain parts of the roster over who gets pushed strong (along with the better pay that comes with it) and why. I do not think this effects the “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022” lineup in any way that matters. As a long term story though there can be more and even bigger fallouts to come if NOAH’s position doesn’t improve.

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Falls Count Anywhere 4 Way Match: Shinya Aoki (c) defeated Chris Brookes, Shunma Katsumata and Yukio Naya when Aoki pinned Naya with the European Clutch (25:39).
*V1 for Shinya Aoki.

The folks at DDT have taken a liking to Kumamoto Castle Natural Hot Spring and vice versa. The hot spring’s director invited Shinya Aoki to defend the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title inside the spring. Aoki and his three challengers wasted no time in starting the match.

First they fought in the dressing room but quickly made their way into the public baths. Shunma Katsumata tortured everyone by pouring jugs of hot water over them. Chris Brookes threw him into a castle of chairs for revenge.

Yukio Naya was thrown into a hot shower where he fainted in agony. Katsumata tortured Brookes even further with dripping hot water. Naya knocked all three of his opponents into the electric bath, giving them all electric shocks.

The fight moved over to the bathroom where Toui Kojima was dragged into the chaos. Then it was over to the open-air bath where Katsumata did two Moonsaults. Everyone moved out of the way so he landed in the baths both times. He was able to give Brookes a Death Valley Bomb but Aoki broke the count.

Aoki and Katsumata fought their way into the sauna. Katsumata used a towel to send heat waves into his opponent but all it did was revitalise Aoki! He countered the ¡Hasta la vista! into a Sleeper Hold but Naya broke it up. Naya put Aoki in the Cobra Twist but Aoki skillfully escaped the hold. He then rolled Naya up in a European Clutch in the sauna to get the 3 count for a successful title defence.

Aoki celebrated the win by first taking a bath and then second challenge Brookes for the DDT Extreme Title. He asked Brookes for a handshake but Brookes splashed water into his face and then ran off. It was decided that a Double Title match between Brookes and Aoki will take place on 15th July!

The contract for the Princess Of Princess Title match was signed on Saturday before the Narimasu Act Hall show. Miyu Yamashita expressed disappointment over failing to win the Princess Tag Team Titles with Maki Itoh last week. She’s going to show Sakisama what she can really do at their match. Sakisama isn’t used to being called a challenger. She heard about Yamashita’s dream of becoming a double champion but she couldn’t pull it off. If Yamashita couldn’t make her dream come true then Sakisama promises to make it come true on her behalf.

The two teams for the main event met for a press conference today and it turned into an argument between Yuji Okabayashi and Shunma Katsumtata. They kept shouting “Pissari!” and “NeppoWER!!” back and forth to each other throughout the meeting. HARASHIMA and Konosuke Takeshita are keeping their eyes on the prize. Takeshita said his recent form shows he is returning to the centre of DDT. He doesn’t want his momentum to stop and would like to be KO-D Tag Team Champions with Katsumata. Winning the belts in Osaka too would be a miracle for them. HARASHIMA is aware that it’s been a long time since he was focused on the Tag Titles. He looks forward to fighting against the Ultimate Tag League winners.

7. King Of DDT 2021 – Final: X Vs X

The King Of DDT final four have given their thoughts going into the final rounds. Daisuke Sasaki thinks he is now the strongest wrestler after beating both the DDT UNIVERSAL Champion and KO-D Openweight Champion in the first two rounds. However whenever he sees Takeshita he still feels the pain in the rib he broke from their D-Ou Grand Prix match last November. It’s time for revenge. But if he wins and faces Yuji Hino in the final, he will accept his fate and lose to Hino in 5 seconds. He’ll get the prize money anyway. Takeshita argues that Sasaki only beat the champions because he used Low Blows in those matches. He thinks he can beat him if he dodges those kind of attacks. Hino admits the tournament has been hard and he’s been fighting some big names throughout. If Takeshita does beat Sasaki then Hino promises to break his ribs in the final so Sasaki will get his revenge. Kazusada Higuchi is determined to advance past the semi-final for the first time. He won’t think about the final until he gets there.

A team of Olympians in one form or another are going after the KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles together. Joining Yoshiaki Yatsu is Akito, Hiroshi Yamato & Keigo Nakamura. All three of them asked to join by pointing to their amateur wrestling experience in the Junior Olympics. Akito finished 2nd in his 2004 class, Yamato finished 3rd in his 2002 class and Nakamura… was eliminated in the first round at the 2016 competition.
