DDT’s 29th Anniversary show wasn’t the only wrestling event named “JUDGEMENT” to take place this week. It’s alternate timeline equivalent Super Japan held its own “JUDGEMENT” today, using the original gimmick related to that name in order to determine if it should continue to exist or not. Every fan in attendance was handed a ballot to vote on whether they support more Super Japan shows in the future or if Sanshiro Takagi’s side project should be binned instead. With 258 Yes votes, only 6 No votes and 51 non-answers the judgement was clear. Super Japan will continue! It’s a good thing too because Takagi already went ahead and made future plans for the brand that would have gone to waste if the audience rejected the promotion.

One of the decisions made today was the hiring of a new advisor for the brand. Takagi has now brought Masayuki Uchida on board and will count on his experience of managing several wrestling promotions in the past. Uchida was the president of All Japan in the early 2010s then became chairman for NOAH during the second half of that decade. He also previously worked with Takagi as a director for the Bakuha Koshien spin off that DDT promoted with Atsushi Onita during the pandemic. Uchida said he is just as confused over the disappearance of those shows as anyone else. His first goal as Super Japan’s advisor is to push Yuji Nagata back to the top of the wrestling industry.

After Nagata beat Fuminori Abe in the main event, Uchida approached him with an idea to form a brilliant new tag team for the next show in Ueno Park on 27th May. Had Super Japan disbanded today, Takagi would have used the booking to put on something else as a backup plan. Instead he now gets to be part of a once in a lifetime main event. Uchida brought out CIMA to meet Nagata! CIMA explained to everyone that he is linked to Nagata because they once had a match against each other in WCW 29 years ago. It was very early in CIMA’s wrestling career and Ultimo Dragon also entrusted him to be Nagata’s weight training partner back then. Nagata agreed to be CIMA’s partner and together the two can be called WCW’s Strongest Tag Team! Facing them on 27th May will be two rivals who decided to form an alliance today. Sanshiro Takagi beat his long time enemy Poison Sawada JULIE earlier in the show then proposed they form their own tag team because Super Japan is meant to be an alternate timeline of DDT. The two later answered Nagata & CIMA’s challenge. Nagata remembers when Sawada was a trainee in New Japan so he’s interested to fight him. CIMA then tried to attack Sawada only to get stopped by Sawada’s snake magic. Takagi said now that he and Sawada are a team after being enemies for 30 years, something terrifying is bound to happen!

There were two matches that finished without a winner during today’s show. Kazunari Murakami and Shinya Aoki got into a brawl at ringside that went out of control and put the referee in danger. He ended up calling off the match when both Murakami and Aoki kept putting him in harm’s way. The 3 Way Match between Hiroshi Yamato, Gym Trainer Kotoka and Munenori Sawa turned into an impromptu workout session where all three men exhausted themselves into unconsciousness.

Kuroshio TOKYO Japan taunted Kumadori’s dancing by asking his if he even knows how to wrestle? He then baited his opponent into breakdancing so he could get the jump on him. Kuroshio then declared he would intentionally injure Kumadori so he would never dance again! Kumadori’s dance skills helped him fight back to where the two started a dance battle against each other. But Kuroshio cut it off with a surprise roll up to win the match.

MONDAY MAGIC “UNIVERSE MAGIC 2026” Results

March 9, 2026

MONDAY MAGIC “UNIVERSE MAGIC 2026”, 09/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Takeru Inoue & Sentaro Motoshima defeated Yuki Toki & Nobuhiko Kimura when Inoue submitted Toki with a Crab Hold (8:56).
2. The 1st UNIVERSE CUP – Round 1: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Great Mummy with the Stunner (8:23).
3. The 1st UNIVERSE CUP – Round 1: Naomichi Marufuji defeated Kuroshio TOKYO Japan with the Perfect Neck Lock (9:12).
4. Takumi Iroha, Utami Hayashishita & Miyuki Takase Vs Mayu Iwatani, Mika Iwata & Mio Momono ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).
5. The 1st UNIVERSE CUP – Round 1: The Great Sasuke defeated Isami Kodaka with La Magistral Cradle (12:24).
6. The 1st UNIVERSE CUP – Round 1: Hayabusa defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Firebird Splash (14:06).

The first round of the inaugural UNIVERSE CUP took place, pitting eight wrestlers from eight different promotions against each other. The common ground linking almost all of the promotions together is that they are a part of the Wrestle Universe streaming service. Add in the randomness of Monday Magic and the result is a bunch of unexpected surprises in store both in and out of the tournament.

Hayabusa from ZERO1 defeated Yumehito Imanari from Ganbare☆Pro in the main event. Imanari was crushed over the loss because he was originally part of Wrestle Universe from the very beginning when it was called DDT Universe. Hayabusa will meet Naomichi Marufuji from NOAH in the semi-final. Marufuji had to deal with Kuroshio TOKYO Japan’s antics today. Even thought Kuroshio lost, he doesn’t want to go away. The Uptown wrestler asked Marufuji backstage if he can come over to NOAH? Marufuji simply told him no.

The Great Sasuke and Isami Kodaka went wild for their 1st Round match. The Michinoku Pro legend gave Kodaka a Piledriver onto the entrance ramp and also slammed him onto a pile of chairs at ringside. Kodaka almost got him back with a Brainbuster but Sasuke pinned the BASARA wrestler with La Magistral Cradle for the victory. Kodaka hopes he can come back to Monday Magic and maybe get some NOAH bookings too. Sanshiro Takagi had an adventure of his own when he had to fight not just one mummy, but two! While he fought The Great Mummy in the ring, NOSAWA Rongai brought down a second Great Mummy to add some confusion to the mix. Luckily for Takagi, Mecha Mummy showed up to help him and Takagi went on to win the match for DDT. NOSAWA swears he will get revenge on Takagi by sending his mummy wrestlers over to invade Super Japan!

MONDAY MAGIC “UNIVERSE MAGIC 2026”, 06/04/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. The 1st UNIVERSE CUP – Semi Final: Sanshiro Takagi Vs The Great Sasuke
2. The 1st UNIVERSE CUP – Semi Final: Hayabusa Vs Naomichi Marufuji
3. Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: X Vs X
4. 10-WOMAN MAGIC RUMBLE: X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X Vs X
3. The 1st UNIVERSE CUP – Final: X Vs X

There’s been one CyberFight promotion that has stayed away from Monday Magic but that’s all going to change next month. Tokyo Joshi Pro will finally have some involvement in the show, although it is going to be for a match they are putting together by themselves. There will also be a small Royal Rumble style match for the joshi wrestlers so maybe TJPW will start to mix in with the rest of the scene after all.

Universe Cup

February 10, 2026

Looks like I now have to start talking about MONDAY MAGIC a bit more often. This thing started off in 2023 as an idea by NOSAWA Rongai to host live weekly NOAH shows on ABEMA built around mystery lineups and surprise matches. After the debut season, the series was then added to Wrestle Universe and last year it was quietly spun off into becoming its own brand, although it is still NOAH adjacent. I personally like the idea of treating Monday Magic as its own thing but you’d still be right to label it a NOAH show.

During the most recent season titled “RISING SUN”, it was announced that two upcoming spin-off episodes called “UNIVERSE MAGIC” will host the first ever Universe Cup tournament. It will be an eight man tournament featuring a representative from many different wrestling promotions that can be seen on Wrestle Universe. The wrestlers taking part are:

Naomichi Marufuji (Pro Wrestling NOAH)
Sanshiro Takagi (DDT Pro Wrestling)
The Great Sasuke (Michinoku Pro Wrestling)
Hayabusa (ZERO1 Pro Wrestling)
Isami Kodaka (Pro Wrestling BASARA)
Yumehito Imanari (Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling)
Kuroshio TOKYO Japan (Pro Wrestling Uptown)
Great Mummy (MONDAY MAGIC)

MONDAY MAGIC “UNIVERSE MAGIC 2026”, 09/03/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. UNIVERSE CUP – Round 1: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Great Mummy
2. UNIVERSE CUP – Round 1: Naomichi Marufuji Vs Kuroshio TOKYO Japan
3. UNIVERSE CUP – Round 1: Isami Kodaka Vs The Great Sasuke
4. UNIVERSE CUP – Round 1: Hayabusa Vs Yumehito Imanari

Alright I get to talk about the new Hayabusa! Actually Bahu did a great job explaining the whole situation with him and ZERO1 recently so I recommend you give his video a watch. The inclusion of ZERO1 to this tournament comes from their repaired relationship with NOAH after the Go Shiozaki fiasco (I knew something was up with him a while back) and that led to Hayabusa recently appearing on Monday Magic so his addition has not come out of nowhere.

One of NOSAWA’s running jokes in Monday Magic is to often book one of the wrestlers to disguise themselves as Great Mummy, a throwback to the mummy gimmicks that were a regular presence around Japan’s sleazier indies decades ago. It’s only fitting that Sanshiro Takagi was chosen to be Great Mummy’s opponent in the first round.

MONDAY MAGIC “UNIVERSE MAGIC 2026”, 06/04/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. UNIVERSE CUP – Semi Final: X Vs X
2. UNIVERSE CUP – Semi Final: X Vs X
3. UNIVERSE CUP – Final: X Vs X

The match announcement video included an image of a playoff bracket that makes it look like the winners of Matches #1 and #3 will meet in one semi final and the winners of Matches #2 and #4 will face off in the other. However I’m feeling suspicious about something. To put it kindly, NOSAWA is a trickster at heart. Don’t be surprised if he suddenly throws in a swerve or two that could completely change the face of the Universe Cup going into the final rounds.

Sasaki Wants DDT To Be More Like WCW, Takechi Pulled From This Sunday’s Show, Super Japan Getting Will Be Judged

January 23, 2026

DDT “MISSION IN BATTLE ~SHINSHUN KENRAN~”, 25/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Junta Miyawaki
2. Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku, Yuni, Rukiya & Hinata Kasai Vs Ryuma Tsukamoto, Daichi Sato, Yuki Ishida, Ilusion & Kazuma Sumi
3. Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul Vs Naomi Yoshimura & Kumadori
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ Yoshihiko Return Match: Minoru Suzuki, Danshoku Dieno & Yoshihiko Vs Super Sasadango Machine, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda
5. Special Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & Jun Akiyama Vs HARASHIMA & To-y
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya
7. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title – Irregular 3 Way Match: Yuki Ueno (c/c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Chris Brookes

There’s going to be some changes in DDT if Daisuke Sasaki gets his way and wins more championships. He currently holds the O-40 Title and wants to create a DDT Triple Crown by winning both the KO-D Openweight Title and DDT Universal Title. Then he won’t have to defend the belts against anyone under the age of forty and DDT will start to resemble the final years of WCW. Sasaki is fond of that period because the shows would always end with interferences and he was also looked up to Scott Hall for being an alcoholic. Sasaki admits he always finds negative things to be cool. Should Sasaki achieve the “Triple Crown” and only fights other wrestlers over forty, he theorizes that he will then have the likes of Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar as potential challengers because right now DDT hasn’t been lining up opponents for his O-40 Title. WWE hasn’t responded to his requests though. Sasaki also doesn’t like how Yuki Ueno and Chris Brookes are drawing in bigger audiences of young women to the shows. He would prefer the audience to be full of older men who look like Tetsu Inada.

Stage actress Yuzuki Hoshimoto will be in attendance to second the Strange Love Connection in the KO-D Tag Team Titles match. She previously appeared in DDT with the team at last November’s Korakuen Hall show.

The big draw of the show has gone down! Kaisei Takechi has been pulled from the show because he currently has an infectious case of pink eye. He will now be replaced by To-y in the big tag match also featuring HARASHIMA, Konosuke Takeshita and Jun Akiyama. That also means To-y has been plucked out of the 10-Man Tag Match. Ryoma Tsukamoto has been called in to take his place in that bout.

GANBARE☆PRO “NEW YEAR’S BLUES 2026”, 31/01/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Sentaro Motoshima Vs Akira Shoji
2. Moeka Haruhi Vs Choun Shiryu
3. Yuna Manase & YuuRI Vs Chanyota & Non Toraga
4. Ken Ohka & Mizuki Watase Vs Fuminori Abe & Shota Kawakami
5. Yumehito Imanari & Keisuke Ishii Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Shinichiro Tominaga

The tag match pitting Ganbare☆Joshi against P.P.P. Tokyo will be Non Toraga’s first appearance in Ganbare☆Pro.

More details on Munetatsu Nakamura’s neck injury have come to light. He has been diagnosed with a herniated cervical disc and will not return to action until 7th March at the earliest. Even then that could be delayed if he does not get cleared by his doctor.

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

1. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Kazunari Murakami

History will repeat itself with Sanshiro Takagi’s alternate history spin off. At the end of 2025 he felt the time was right to end the Super Japan project because thr year long celebration of his 30th Anniversary in wrestling had been completed. However his appointed ace of the promotion Yuji Nagata revealed that he had Shinjuku FACE booked for 24th March for a show of his own and decided that it should go to Super Japan instead so it could either continue or at least give everyone a proper farewell. Taking a page out of DDT’s beginning all the way back in 1997, Takagi decided that this upcoming show in March will end with a fan vote on whether or not Super Japan should continue. “JUDGEMENT” was the name of that very first DDT show in ’97 so it is only fitting for the name to be used here as well. Now we have to see if history will repeat itself.

The first match announced is an intriguing pro wrestling match between MMA backgrounds. Shinya Aoki faces Kazunari Murakami, the man with perhaps the most surliest face you will ever see in pro wrestling. He tends to be a snappy dresser too.

Names currently scheduled for the show include Yuji Nagata, Sanshiro Takagi, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan, Fuminori Abe and Munenori Sawa.

SUPER JAPAN “NEVER MIND” Results

December 31, 2025

SUPER JAPAN “NEVER MIND”, 29/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Shota defeated Ryuma Tsukamoto with the Gannosuke Clutch (7:59).
2. DJ Nira Vs Muscle Sakai ended in a No Contest after a Referee Assault (8:55).
3. Mio Shirai defeated Marika Kobashi with the Murasaki Senko (7:12).
4. Special Tag Match – “Showa” II & “Reiwa” Debut Match: MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki defeated “Showa” II & “Reiwa” when MIKAMI pinned “Showa” II with the Heisei-Style School Boy (9:40).
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Taiji Ishimori, Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei defeated Shuji Kondo, Ken Ohka & Mac Matsushita when Ishimori submitted Matsushita with the Bone Lock (11:31).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuji Nagata, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Kasai & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa when Nagata submitted Takagi with the Arm Lock (17:07).

2025 came to a close with the final show of Super Japan, perhaps maybe ever. Except it turns out the sub-brand has a future after all, at least heading into 2026. It’s all thanks to Super Japan’s ace Yuji Nagata. First he led his team to victory in the main event. He fought fire with fire by using the crazy energy of Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe to combat the crazy team energy of Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Kasai & Munenori Sawa. Nagata and Kasai spent just as much time dueling each other with their salute poses while Takagi and Abe brawled over at the Shinjuku FACE counter. Kasai pulled out a bundle of skewers and Kuroshio tried to physically stop him from using them. He failed and Kasai got to dig the skewers into Nagata’s head while Nagata held Takagi in the Arm Lock. That only made Nagata apply more pressure to the submission hold though and Takagi had to give up from the extra intensity his tag partner inadvertedly created.

After the match Takagi thanked everyone for the match and said his year long celebration of his 30th Anniversary in wrestling has finally come to an end. He told the others to show their appreciation to Nagata and the five of them all bowed to him. Nagata asked Takagi if this was really the end of Super Japan because after everything Takagi put him through during the project it shouldn’t end just like that. Takagi said he doesn’t have a venue booked for another show so there is nothing he can do about it. Nagata then revealed that he has Shinjuku FACE booked for 24th March and he’ll let Takagi use it for the next Super Japan date! Takagi accepted the offer so Super Japan can return next year! It will even have a familiar event name: “JUDGEMENT”. Takagi then asked Nagata to do the Nagata Dance with everyone in the ring so they can end the show on an even higher note.

For one night only The Sailor Boys reunited although none of them had any intentions of actually reliving the gimmick. Instead The Brahman Brothers interrupted the entrance song “Keep On Journey” so they could bring their usual deranged wrestling style to the table. Taiji Ishimori was willing to go along for the ride and join in the brawl against the opposing team of Toryumon/Dragon Gate linked wrestlers. Shuji Kondo had the power to fight back but a missed Lariat ended up hitting his partners Ken Ohka & Mac Matsushita by mistake instead. The Brahmans then beat up Matsushita with a traffic sign before Ishimori could make him give up to the Bone Lock. Ishimori also had black goo pouring out of his mouth while he was applying his finisher. After the match The Brahmans announced that The Sailor Boys are disbanding and will go back to being regular pro wrestlers. However they might reunite with Ishimori and team up again in twenty years time.

Back in their DDT days MIKAMI and Takashi Sasaki were often seen as rivals to each other. But given this is an alternate take to the early years of DDT, here in Super Japan they’ve been paired together as a tag team. They took on a revival of an old DDT gimmick called “Showa” with somebody claiming to be the second generation of the masked wrestler showing up with a second similar looking wrestler named “Reiwa” as his tag team partner. The DDT originals won out in the end with MIKAMI countering a Japanese Leg Roll Clutch from “Showa” II into a Heisei-Style School Boy for the three count.

Match #2 ended in a No Contest when Muscle Sakai and DJ Nira coaxed the referee Ishiguro into taking part in the action. At several points in the match the room would go dark and when the lights came back on, Sakai and Nira would swap positions. The spot ended up with Ishiguro unexpectedly finding himself on the top turnbuckle where he decided to do a Diving Cross Body onto the wrestlers and then stomp on them in the corner until the match was called off.

The type of death match for tomorrow’s FREEDOMS Vs Ganbare☆Pro main event has been decided. Lighttubes are the recommended item on the menu but other weapons will be featured too.

GanPro has a secret weapon up their sleeve for the semi-main event. Yumehito Imanari & Yuna Manase will be accompanied by Nobita as their ringside attendant. Nobita is the nickname of Takahiro Nakayama, a GanPro staff member who was a pro wrestler for a very brief amount of time back in 2014. The FREEDOMS wrestlers had been bullying him around whenever they showed up at GanPro shows, unaware of his background. If Takashi Sasaki & Toru Sugiura are not careful he might decide to start fighting back!

The 3 Way match between Yuki Iino, To-y and Yuki Ishida will have an extra rule banning the wrestlers from doing their trademark catchphrases and poses.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’25”, 09/11/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs J-Rod

The next wrestler from America has been chosen to go on tour with Tokyo Joshi Pro this November. J-Rod has around three years of experience since graduating from the NJPW Academy in America with Ohio Valley Wrestling being her current most regular promotion. The “Ultimate Athlete” will debut in TJPW on the 1st November show but the big match of her tour will be fighting either Miu Watanabe or Yuki Aino for the Princess Of Princess Title at November’s Korakuen show.

I don’t mind this trend of tag teams getting themselves in line for a future Princess Tag Team Titles shot while the champions still have other challengers to get through. HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki have teamed on and off together this year but both are feeling left behind by other wrestlers from their class. The two are taking their team to the next level by challenging the winners of Ober Eats Vs Hot Shot for the titles.

SUPER JAPAN “NEVER MIND”, 29/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Tag Match: MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki Vs X & X
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Kasai & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa Vs Yuji Nagata, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe

The last Super Japan show of the year is being advertised as the season finale of year one. Sanshiro Takagi is so happy with how Yuji Nagata has turned out as his chosen ace that he wants to wrestle Nagata himself. He also wants to team with Munenori Sawa again and expected Nagata to get more plenty of people offering to team with him so Jun Kasai was brought in to even up the numbers. Nagata has both Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Fuminori Abe wanting to join his side so the two teams are now set.

Super Japan serves as an alternate take of what DDT could have turned into if Takagi chose that name instead of Dramatic Dream Team back in 1997. In DDT, MIKAMI & Takashi Sasaki were more like rivals than partners despite once holding the KO-D Tag Titles together back in 2002. So Takagi wants to see what it would be like if the two of them were a tag team from the beginning instead of opponents. MIKAMI & Sasaki are both curious to find out for themselves as well.

SUPER JAPAN “COME AGAIN 2025” Results

October 14, 2025

SUPER JAPAN “COME AGAIN 2025”, 14/10/2025
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Exhibition Match: Ippanjin Munenori Sawa defeated Sanshiro Takagi with the Shining Wizard (0:28).
1a. Rematch: Ippanjin Munenori Sawa defeated Sanshiro Takagi with the O-Manjigatame (4:20).
2. Mio Shirai Vs DJ Nira ended in an unclear way due to a blackout (10:33).
3. 3 Way Tag Match: Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei defeated MIKAMI & Jun Masaoka and Shota & Ryoma Tsukamoto when Kei pinned Masaoka after the Gotai Fumanzoku (9:33).
4. Special Tag Match: Gym Trainer Kotoka & Mac Matsushita defeated Fuminori Abe & Bryan Ishizaka when Matsushita pinned Ishizaka with the Uso Splash (10:33).
5. Special Tag Match: Suwama & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Momoka Hanazono when Kamifuku pinned Hanazono after the Suwama Assisted Famouser (15:04).
6. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Shinya Aoki ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).

Thirty minutes wasn’t enough to determine a winner between Yuji Nagata and Shinya Aoki. The two of them were both thanked by Sanshiro Takagi afterwards for giving everyone a wonderful match and Nagata in particular confirmed that Takagi was right to make him the ace of Super Japan. Takagi then made a request to Nagata. He will be officially back wrestling again in November and he would like to wrestle Nagata on the final Super Japan show of the year. It will take place on 29th December and Takagi will team with Munenori Sawa while Nagata will get to choose his own partner. That idea brought Kuroshio TOKYO Japan and Fuminori Abe to the ring both volunteering to team with Nagata. Takagi expected something like this would happen so he suddenly brought Jun Kasai into the ring to make this situation a 6-Man Tag Match! Kasai said exciting things can happen when two people with nothing in common get together. However he then pointed out that both he and Nagata do salutes in their matches. Takagi said this match will determine which wrestler’s salute is the real deal!

The tag team of Suwama & Yuki Kamifuku was called Team Shonandai since both of them are from Fujisawa City. They figured they were too powerful for the Up Town team of Kuroshio & Momoka Hanazono to handle. They were proven right. In fact Suwama was so powerful that he ended up making both his opponents and also Kamifuku cry, which led to him apologizing. The other three all kicked him to get some payback but Suwama got back on the same page with Kamifuku to do an Assisted Famouser onto Hanazono for the finish.

Gym Trainer Kotoka lived up to his name by having a full on gym trainer gimmick urging Mac Matsushita to exercise properly. He also held kick training pads and used them to block Fuminori Abe’s kicks before using them as a weapon on both Abe & Bryan Ishizaka.

The match between Mio Shirai and DJ Nira turned into a tragedy. Nira grabbed his umbrella and threatened to use it as a weapon until suddenly he turned it on himself and stabbed his own stomach! The referee check on Nira and when he couldn’t sense any life in him, he too committed seppuku next to the body! Shirai tried to revive the both of them and when she couldn’t, she committed seppeku as well. The lights in the room then switched off. After a few seconds, a lone spotlight shined in the ring showing Antonio Honda wearing a diaper and behaving like a baby being born.

Takagi’s return to the ring is not officially happening until “ULTIMATE PARTY 2025” but the opening match was an exhibition bout for him to shake off his ring rust. He lost to Sawa in 28 seconds. The result made one person in the crowd particularly mad. It was the DDT GM Hisaya Imabayashi and he was furious to get this match for the money he spent on his ticket! He called Takagi a conman and ordered a rematch to begin despite having no authority in Super Japan. The restart went ahead and Takagi brawled with Sawa around the venue. Takagi sprayed a fire extinguisher that ended up knocking out the referee. Imabayashi got back on the microphone and ordered the timekeeper to pause the stopwatch until the referee regained consciousness. Meanwhile Sawa tricked Takagi to repeatedly run the ropes back and forth until he ran out of energy. Once Takagi was tired, Sawa put him in the O-Manjigatame and held on for the recovered referee to see Takagi tap out. After the match Takagi announced the 29th December booking, calling it the final episode of Super Japan’s first season.

The 29th December show will also reunite MIKAMI and Takashi Sasaki as a DDT Legend Tag Team. Takagi reminded both of them that when they created DDT, NOSAWA Rongai originally suggested they call the company Super Japan but they all rejected it and came up with Dramatic Dream Team instead. This spin-off exists to see what would have happened if they went with Super Japan so Takagi wondered what if MIKAMI & Sasaki were a tag team here instead of being the rivals they were in DDT? Sasaki agreed because he likes the nostalgic vibe that on Super Japan shows that reminds him of old DDT. MIKAMI said there is a drama in their history that fans of today might not understand so he is enthusiastic to see where this idea goes.

A knee injury has prevented Jada Stone from travelling to Japan so she is no longer able to appear at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI”. A new opponent is needed for Arisu Endo so she will now face Priscilla Kelly in the match with the vacant International Princess Title on the line. Pom Harajuku has been taken out of the Battle Royal to become Rika Tatsumi’s new opponent. That match will also have special rules applied which will be announced as soon as they are determined.

I don’t know if I can get a preview of the show completed before Saturday. I’ve been feeling under the weather lately which stopped me from writing one. One might be posted on Friday night but don’t take that as a promise.

DDT “CHARISMANIAxMANIAxMANIA”, 02/10/2025

The full card for “CHARISMANIAxMANIAxMANIA” has been revealed although the match order outside of the main event has not been decided yet. Naohiro Katsumi and To-y both get added to the Togo Family Vs DDT Match, a Gauntlet Tag match dedicated to the still alive Daisuke Sasaki will fill up most of the show. Yasutaka Oosera from Michinoku Pro is teaming up with Ilusion which makes me wonder what the connection is there. We also have the return of Sumicaras in there too.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

SUPER JAPAN “COME AGAIN 2025”, 14/10/2025
Shinjuku FACE

0. Exhibition Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Munenori Sawa
1. Special Tag Match: Suwama & Yuki Kamifuku Vs Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Momoka Hanazono
2. Special Single Match: Yuji Nagata Vs Shinya Aoki

So what unusual match making is Super Japan coming up with this time? How about pairing Suwama and Yuki Kamifuku together because they are both from Fujiwara City? Cool, now what if they go against Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Momoka Hanazono the two wrestlers who get up to nutty things whenever they are left to their own devices? Kamifuku and Kuroshio have wrestled each other before (and Kamifuku has a win over Kuroshio) but Suwama and Hanazono taking each other on sounds like something new.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 24: EVERYTHING ENDS” Results

September 16, 2025

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 24: EVERYTHING ENDS”, 16/09/2025
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. “Chris Brookes” (Munetatsu Nakamura), “Antonio Honda” (Takayuki Ueki) & Charli Evans defeated “Dark King Ueki” (Antonio Honda), “Munek” (Chris Brookes) & Princess Ram when “Honda” (Ueki) pinned “Ueki” (Honda) with a School Boy (?:??).
2. No DQ Match: Mr. Malo & Seigo Tachibana defeated Mr. Bueno & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan when Tachibana pinned Kuroshio with a Rolling Cradle (?:??).
3. Special Single Match: Yuya MAOki (MAO) defeated Kota Sekifuda with the Kesagiri Chop (?:??).

It seems wherever Kota Sekifuda goes he just cannot escape Big Japan. He became a freelancer over the summer after spending pretty much his entire wrestling career with the company so he was expecting a brand new experience when he was booked to take on MAO. Instead MAO walked out dressed like Yuya Aoki and wrestled like him too. He was even introduced as Yuya MAOki and the fans kept chanting “MAOki” during the match. Sekifuda brought along a great equalizer though. He had a sack handed to him with a snake inside it but when he emptied it, the snake was missing! Sekifuda then purposely brawled with MAO around the room so he could look for the snake but couldn’t find him anywhere. He later pushed MAOki out of the room with slaps to the chest but MAOki puffed his chest out to block them and returned to the room with other wrestlers behind him, including Takayuki Ueki unaware that he has Sekifuda’s snake wrapped around his neck! Sekifuda safely took the snake off him and used it the petrify the other wrestlers before handing it off to the ref. However MAOki and the other wrestlers all psyched themselves up around Sekifuda and MAOki hit him with the Kesagiri Chop to win the match.

We’re in the middle of a journey that I think is leading to a BK-G Openweight Title match between Mr. Malo and Mr. Bueno. Today’s path was a tag match with both wrestlers having mystery partners. They turned out to be the Up Town pair of Seigo Tachibana and Kuroshio TOKYO Japan! Tachibana teamed with Malo while Kuroshio teamed with Bueno. You’d think a small room and no wrestling ring would mean Kuroshio’s entrance would be kept brief for once but he found a way to extend it by connecting two traffic cones together with tape to look like ring ropes so he could do his usual ring entry teases. After playing to the crowd for an eternity, Kuroshio then demanded the match be No DQ Rules. He took advantage by kicking Malo between the legs but when he encouraged Bueno to do the same to Tachibana, he missed and got Kuroshio instead. Later Kuroshio came up with a foul idea where he placed a traffic cone over a prone Tachibana’s face and then attempted to pull the back of his tights down to use the cone as a toilet. Bueno tried to stop him but couldn’t so Malo smashed a beer bottle over Kuroshio’s head instead. Tachibana then rolled him up for the three count.

Plans changed for the opening match when Everett Connors was unable to wrestle due to injury. So instead of having a three team free for all, the match became a 6-Man Tag instead. But the change of plans didn’t stop there. While Charli Evans and Princess Ram showed up looking like they normally do, the other four seemed to have all swapped bodies! Dark King Ueki now looked like Antonio Honda, Munek looked like Chris Brookes, Brookes looked like Munetatsu Nakamura and Honda looked like Takayuki Ueki! “Munek” used a coat hanger to cast spells on his opponents while also helping Ram to Body Slam a random fan onto “Honda”. “Munek” had a wardrobe malfunction when his trousers split after Evans gave him a Fisherman Suplex. The match broke down into everyone attacking each other with a metal tray until “Brookes” used the magic coat hanger to make “Ueki” hit himself over the head so “Honda” could pin him with a School Boy. There was a damsel in distress that the Kingdom kidnapped and held captive behind the bar before the match began. She was now saved by SCHADENFREUDE International!

The next two Baka Gaijin + Friends events were announced at the end of the show. There will be a Halloween themed show taking place on 28th October. Then after that Baka Gaijin will celebrate their 3rd Anniversary with a show at Shinjuku FACE on 2nd December!
