This month there are a couple of big multi-man matches between SCHADENFREUDE International and DAMNATION T.A each with a different stipulation involved. Today’s match was a Best Of 5 series of singles bouts between the two units. Chris Brookes and Daisuke Sasaki privately decided on the order of their teams and handed them over to Yukinori Matsui so the matchups were all a mystery until they took place. In a surprise, Brookes and Sasaki both decided to put themselves in the opening match so they fought each other in a preview for “ULTIMATE PARTY 2024”! However each match only had a 10 minute time limit and they easily fought to a draw.

The second match had MJ Paul walk down to the ring only to be attacked from behind by a member of the audience. The person turned out to be Masahiro Takanashi is disguise! He tried to pin Paul in the ring with several cradles but was quickly pinned himself when Paul gave him a Lou Thesz Press.

The third match was the DDT debut of Mr. Bueno as he took on Demus. Bueno used the Moonsault a couple of times as well as a 619 and a top rope Frankensteiner. Demus tried to counter him but was pinned down with the Bueno Clutch (Delphin Clutch) to tie the score 1-1.

The fourth match was considered a battle between the two vice captains. Antonio Honda immediately tripped over the ropes when he entered the ring and KANON attacked him before he could tell a Gongitsune joke. When Honda fought back and had a chance to speak, he made a dirty joke about Full Metal Alchemist instead. KANON avoided the Diving Fist Drop though and made Honda submit to the Cobra Twist 2.0.

The fifth and final match of the series had the “captains” Takeshi Masada and Ilusion continuing their feud against each other. Ilusion distracted the ref so the rest of DAMNATION T.A could interfere. Ilusion then attacked Masada with a chair but the ref saw him and called for a DQ. Masada demanded a rematch and Ilusion agreed to it, even claiming he will fight fair and square this time. A ref bump caused DAMNATION T.A to interfere again but this time SCHADENFREUDE ran in to fight them off. Ilusion grabbed the chair again but Masada kicked it into his face and pinned him with his finisher to end the series with SCHADENFREUDE as the winners. Masada called Ilusion a loser who cannot win without his stupid teammates. He also thinks SCHADENFREUDE will win the Elimination Tag Match in a landslide on 8th December. Sasaki told Brookes that 10 minutes is not enough for them. Brookes better prepare for 100 minutes next time! Ilusion also criticised Masada for needing to use a chair to beat him.

To-y got the better of Yuya Koroku again, this time pinning him with the Avalanche Kojima Wonderland in the opening match. To-y told Koroku he needs to get crazier otherwise he won’t be able to beat him & MAO at Sumo Hall. To-y is in such high spirits he thinks he can now beat Tetsuya Endo too! MAO approves of To-y’s spirit and promised to use all of his tag team experience to back him up. Endo said the hottest thing in DDT is not the sauna. It is BURNING!

*V4 for DAMNATION T.A.

With Sumo Hall coming up at the end of the year, Chris Brookes and Daisuke Sasaki have a long war ahead of them that’s bringing in almost everybody with attachment to either SCHADENFREUDE International or DAMNATION T.A. Today’s battle was over the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles and quickly turned into a brawl around ringside. Sasaki and Brookes attacked each other with chairs while MJ Paul fell victim to a balcony length rubber band attack. KANON bested Takeshi Masada in their face off and left the match to the two unit leaders. Brookes had Sasaki beaten with the Praying Mantis Bomb but the pin was interrupted by DAMNATION T.A pulling the ref out of the ring. Ilusion then interfered but Munetatsu Nakamura came after him to even the odds. More chaos broke out with Demus and Antonio Honda getting in on the action. When things finally calmed down, DAMNATION T.A isolated Masahiro Takanashi and picked him apart. Sasaki countered the Takatonic with the Implant and then he gave Brookes a Low Blow. Sasaki & KANON then did the Freedom Call to Takanashi and he was then choked out by Sasaki’s Crossover Face Lock to give the champions the win.

After the match Sasaki told Brookes he and SCHADENFREUDE are nothing special. Love, romance and dreams are powerless before Sasaki! He only works for championships and the KO-D Openweight Title will definitely be his. Sasaki will be the last man standing in Sumo Hall on 28th December. He then said backstage there is a reason why he hasn’t challenged for the KO-D Title in four years but he won’t reveal it today. Instead he wants everyone to know he will be the one to bring the KO-D Title to Las Vegas next April. Brookes said there are plenty more matches to come in the next month and he will defend the title at Sumo Hall.

The DDT Extreme Title was on the line in a “Forbidden Battle” between Danshoku Dieno and Yuni. For five minutes of the match Yuni benefitted from “Cinderella Time” that meant Dieno would be immediately disqualified if he used any of his lewd moveset against him. However once that time ran out, the ban was lifted and the match would continue with no DQs whatsoever. Yuni wanted to win quickly so he went for high risk moves from the get-go while Dieno kept stopping himself from using his typical attacks. Time ran out though and Dieno instantly took over the match. Yuni eventually fought fire with fire by giving Dieno the Lip Lock and then hit two Moonsaults followed by the Fireball Splash. Dieno was still in the match so Yuni went for a Phoenix Splash. Dieno rolled out of the way, applied the Lip Lock, did the Danshoku Driver and then used a Triangle Choke to win.

Yuni refused to shake Dieno’s hand after the match. Backstage Dieno called him a rival and warned him not to get tripped up by everyone who just treats him as a high school student. That’s not just in pro wrestling but in life too. Yuni is only going to get stronger from here so Dieno doesn’t want to see him get spoiled and pampered just because he is in high school. Yuni understands that and appreciates that Dieno treated him like a pro wrestler. He thinks today was a rite of passage for him on the way to winning the Extreme Title and also the KO-D Title while he is still in high school. Next up for Dieno is an unexpected opponent for 28th December. It was announced after the show he will face Great-O-Khan at Sumo Hall!

Thanks to Shunma Katsumata’s ACL injury the KO-D Tag Team Titles were vacated earlier this week and today’s title match was cancelled. The replacement match was still The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING but as a 6-Man Tag Match instead. Yuya Koroku was frustrated to have his title shot taken away from him so he wanted to make an example out of To-y. That ended up being a mistake. Thanks to some teamwork from Yuki Ueno & MAO, To-y ended up pinning Koroku with the Kojima Impact! Koroku couldn’t believe it but still said after the match he will not give up on chasing after the KO-D Tag Titles. To-y said he has just as many frustrations as Koroku because he was fighting for Katsumata when he really wants to win the KO-D Tag Title himself. The two argued about having a rematch until Hisaya Imabayashi came up with an idea. Tetsuya Endo & Koroku will face MAO & To-y at Sumo Hall with the vacant KO-D Tag Titles on the line! Endo talked down to Koroku backstage because he thought every point To-y made was right and he outperformed Koroku on the microphone. Of course wrestlers perform for the fans but they still need to have an ego because a pro wrestler in an embodiment of their ego. Meanwhile Yuki Iino talked about his upcoming match with Tomohiro Ishii on the 22nd December Korakuen show. He thinks Sumo Hall is where all of BURNING can regain their momentum going into the new year.

Akito wanted to have a match with Isami Kodaka for his 15th Anniversary because Kodaka was one of his seniors who helped him so much throughout his career. The two had a back and forth match that included a little trick from Akito where he used the ref as a shield. However Kodaka got the better of him by doing a Brainbuster and then pinning him down legs over shoulders to get the three count. Akito thanked him for the match and suggested they wrestle again for his 20th Anniversary. Kodaka said he would be on his 27th Anniversary by then so they should make the match the main event instead of putting it in the middle of the card.

There was a 6-Man Tag Match that was there to put the focus on Jun Akiyama Vs Yukio Naya but its attention was stolen away by the end of it. HARASHIMA & Tomomitsu Matsunaga did well to control Shinya Aoki until Aoki trapped Matsunaga in the Full Nelson Hold to get the three count. When the dust was settling, Akiyama and Naya had a staredown outside the ring, getting themselves ready for Sumo Hall. However Aoki then got on the microphone to talk about something completely different…

One of the many matches Aoki has been trying make happen this year is a bout against Kenoh from NOAH. Aoki told the fans in Korakuen Hall that on 1st January he will go to NOAH’s Budokan Hall show to have a match with Kenoh! That claim brought the actual Kenoh down to ringside where he angrily denied the match is going to happen. Aoki then asked him if they should have a match at DDT’s Sumo Hall show instead? Kenoh told him he would never climb back into DDT’s cheap and dirty ring. He respects the MMA version of Aoki but not the DDT version. He then ordered the NOAH rookie Yu Owada to have a match with Aoki right now! Aoki pinned Owada in seconds with the Full Nelson Hold. Then Keigo Nakamura got on the microphone asking to fight Kenoh for insulting the DDT fans. A brawl broke out between the four wrestlers and ended with Kenoh agreeing to a match at Sumo Hall. It will be Aoki & Nakamura against Kenoh & Owada!

Earlier in the day before the show began, Kazuki Hirata assaulted Yuki Ueno with a ring bell hammer to win back the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. He then brought the hammer with him to fight off his six opponents in the Handicap match put together to celebrate his 37th birthday. Since it was his birthday he said the match was No DQ so he was allowed to bash everyone over the head with the hammer. Ueno then returned and pleaded Hirata to stop because this isn’t how is usually behaves. To try and win Hirata back, Ueno put on the Hirata GO! glasses and got the other wrestlers to dance with him. Hirata saw the light and joined in… until Ueno put him in a Sleeper Hold and Yoshihiko pinned him with the Reincarnation to become the champion.

Hirata was still in the ring when the O-MENZ dancer Kumadori entered the ring to talk to him. He thinks Hirata is a good dancer so they should have a dance battle. But when it began Kumadori pushed Hirata down and showed off his breakdance moves. Hirata praised his skill and admitted he cannot beat him in either dancing or wrestling. He then offered to team up with Kumadori for the dancer’s debut at Sumo Hall. The two agreed and their match will be against Makoto Oishi & Akito.

DAMNATION T.A had a good day at Korakuen. There was the title defence in the main event and also a tag victory in the opener. Demus & Ilusion didn’t take long to beat Nakamura & Kazuma Sumi. It fell apart for the losing team when Nakamura aimed a Super Kick for Ilusion that was ducked and hit Sumi instead. Demus took the opportunity to pin Sumi with La Valagueza after that.

DDT usually makes their news announcements at the start of the show but today they waited until two matches were completed first. Sanshiro Takagi gave an update that he is not ready to return to the ring yet. However he still has a special idea to celebrate his 30th Anniversary in wrestling next year. He will be producing his own show at Shinjuku FACE called “NEVER SAY NEVER” but the catch is nobody under DDT contract will be booked for it. Instead he will rely on his connections with freelancers and wrestlers from other companies to fill up the card. The first match announced for the show is Toru Owashi & Dump Matsumoto Vs The Brahman Brothers! Takagi’s goal is to come up with an unbelievable card of matches.

The NωA idol project is back with Oishi’s handpicked members deciding on their new group name. Katsumata, Yuni & Sumi will now be called NωA Jr. whenever they perform together as idols. Their debut song and CD will be unveiled at Sumo Hall. Sumi admitted he hasn’t practiced the song yet but he’s still all set for the debut.

Yesterday came the sad news that Yusuke Okada was going to retire from pro wrestling. He is still recovering from his cancer and is unable to get back to the condition needed to start wrestling again. Today is officially the date of his retirement and he got to give a speech to the fans during the show. He told the fans his treatment is going well and he is feeling fine but he thought about this decision a lot. He wrestled for 8 years and 4 of them were with DDT. He has met the best teammates and fans and will support DDT as a fan himself from now on. Takagi and Akiyama presented him with bouquets of flowers and Okada met with many wrestlers outside the ring for his exit. Included among them were Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai, Kazusada Higuchi and Naomi Yoshimura. Backstage Okada said he would like to still be involved with DDT in some way.

DDT announced they will be part of two shows at Las Vegas next April for The Collective during Wrestlemania Week. “DDT GOES LAS VEGAS!” will be held on 18th April (same day as the Tokyo Joshi Pro show) and “DDT VS TJPW VS GCW” will be on the 19th.

Shunma Injured, KO-D Tag Titles Vacated

November 21, 2024

DDT have announced that Shunma Katsumata’s left knee injury was diagnosed as a torn ACL. He will be out of action for a while which means ShunMao have today relinquished the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Katsumata wanted to believe his injury was only minor and he would have been able to defend the titles with MAO this weekend because he feels fine. However his doctor says otherwise and he has to take time off to recover. He apologized to Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku for getting the title match cancelled. Since his most recent match was against Endo, Katsumata would like to face him in a rematch when he returns. The news is even more frustrating because this is the second time in a row where ShunMao’s tag title reign is ending early because Katsumata got injured. They had to vacate the titles in Spring 2023 when Katsumata broke his foot.

With the KO-D Tag Titles match called off, this weekend’s Korakuen Hall show has a few changes to the card. The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match is now moved up to the main event. Yuki Ueno & To-y are taken out of their matches so The 37KAMIINA can team up for a 6-Man Tag against BURNING. Ueno is currently the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion after he in full gear attacked Kazuki Hirata outdoors during a cold snowy night this week. That also means Hirata now only has to fight against 6 wrestlers instead of 7 for his birthday match. Munetatsu Nakamura is brought in to take To-y’s place in the opener.

DDT “GET ALIVE 2024 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA” Results

November 16, 2024

DDT “GET ALIVE 2024 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 16/11/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall

3. Special Tag Match: Jun Akiyama & Shinya Aoki defeated Yukio Naya & Keigo Nakamura when Aoki pinned Nakamura with the Full Nelson Hold (10:00).
4. Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo defeated Shunma Katsumata with the Burning Star Press (11:16).
5. Special Single Match: MAO defeated Yuya Koroku with the Iai Kick (16:34).
6. SCHADENFREUDE International Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada defeated Daisuke Sasaki, KANON, Demus & Ilusion when Takanashi pinned KANON with the Uwabami (20:05).

The feud between SCHADENFREUDE International Vs DAMNATION T.A is only going to raise more stakes from here on out. Today’s main event had its focus on Chris Brookes against Daisuke Sasaki and Takeshi Masada against Ilusion but it was Masahiro Takanashi who won the match for SCHADENFREUDE by pinning KANON out of nowhere. Afterwards Takanashi reminded everyone that he, Brookes & Masada will be facing Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul at Korakuen Hall on 23rd November. Since that trio are also the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions, Takanashi challenged them to put the belts on the line in that match! Sasaki blamed today’s loss on the jetlag he got after travelling back from Seattle. He accepted the challenged and promised to tear SCHADENFREUDE apart.

The ShunMAO Vs BURNING singles matches ended in a 1-1 draw. MAO defeated Yuya Koroku while Tetsuya Endo beat Shunma Katsumata. Even though the results were mixed, ShunMao are still confident they will retain the KO-D Tag Team Titles against Endo & Koroku on 23rd November because there is no other team in DDT that can match them. Endo is motivating Koroku by calling him second to none. He is getting stronger and just needs that one chance to prove it. That chance will be at the KO-D Tag Title match.

The amount of time Jun Akiyama and Yukio Naya have had in the ring together lately now has a destination in sight. Naya challenged Akiyama to a singles match at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2024” on 28th December! He made the challenge now because he now has the belief he can beat Akiyama and rise to the top of DDT. Akiyama turned 55 years old last month and joked that this match will be Naya’s present for him.

There were several Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title changes throughout the day. Kazuma Sumi brought Yoshihiko into the ring at the start of the show and pinned the doll with a Standing Moonsault to win the title. Then is Sumi’s actual match on the show he lost the belt to Kazuki Hirata. When that match ended Yuki Ueno attacked Hirata near the entrance and won the belt from him. Hirata tried to ambush him backstage but Ueno fought him off. Then hours after the show ended Hirata held To-y hostage with a hammer and used him to sneak into Ueno’s dressing room with Yukinori Matsui nearby. Hirata knocked out both To-y and Ueno with the hammer and then pinned Ueno to be the champion again.

Two contract signings took place before the show. One was for the ShunMao Vs BURNING KO-D Tag Titles match where Koroku kept trying to pump himself up in front of the champions. The other signing was for the DDT Extreme Title match between Danshoku Dieno and Yuni. Dieno was in attendance but Yuni was absent due to a school event. Dieno agreed with DDT to have a normal pro wrestling match that will also use “Cinderella Time”. Whenever “Cinderella Time” is active during the match Dieno is prohibited from using his Danshoku moveset on Yuni and will be instantly disqualified if he breaks the rule. But when “Cinderella Time” ends Dieno is allowed to use those moves like he normally does.

6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Chris Brookes & Yukio Naya defeated Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y when Brookes pinned To-y with the Praying Mantis Bomb (20:57).

Think there were enough shows happening this weekend? Guess what, there’s more! The DDT roster that didn’t go to America still kept busy by running the annual free outdoor show outside a Tokyo train station. Part of the tradition of these shows is the annual World Omori Title match. Soma Takao was the reigning champion going into today and he lost it to Masahiro Takanashi when the Official Endless Waltz was countered into a cradle that Takao could not kick out of.

The show also had a Battle Royal to determine next year’s No. 1 Contender for the title. It came down to Kazuki Hirata and Antonio Honda but they ended up pinning each other from a Backslide Pin gone wrong. Yukinori Matsui decided that since they both pinned each other that meant they had both become the No. 1 Contenders. Honda had to leave the show after the match while Hirata stuck around to confront Takanashi and promote next year’s title match. Hirata really wanted to have the moment when the champion and challenger glare at each other in the ring while everyone takes pictures of them.

Diego and Gota Ihashi swapped places on the card. Diego was originally booked for the Battle Royal and was moved to the opener. Ihashi was vice versa.

November 6, 2024

DDT “CHARISMANIA”, 06/11/2024
Shinjuku FACE
500 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. KUBITO & Naohiro Katsumi 19th Anniversary Match: KUBITO defeated Naohiro Katsumi with the Crossface Lock (6:59).
2. Ram Kaichow, Endo Kaichow & Kodara Kaichow (w/ Mataro) defeated Brahman Shu, Brahman Masa & Brahman Keigo (w/ Brahman Kei) when Ram pinned Keigo with a School Boy (10:12).
3. Demus, Ilusion & Anarko Montaña defeated Kaito Ishida, Shunma Katsumata & Diego when Ilusion pinned Diego with the Swanton Bomb (10:53).
4. Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami & MJ Paul defeated Masashi Takeda & Daichi Sato when Paul pinned Sato with the Reverse Splash (15:27).
5. Special Single Match: Shigehiro Irie defeated KANON with the Beast Bomber (17:37).
6. The Greatest Wrestling Match Of CHARISMANIA: Daisuke Sasaki & Yuko Miyamoto defeated Dick Togo & Minoru Fujita when Sasaki submitted Fujita with La Mistica Crossface Lock (25:19).

Has the student has surpassed his master? Daisuke Sasaki is now entering his 20th year as a pro wrestler so to celebrate he organized “CHARISMANIA” and put himself in the main event with his mentor Dick Togo as well as two wrestlers he looks up to Yuko Miyamoto and Minoru Fujita. All four wrestlers are used to either wrestling dirty or fighting in violent death matches but they instead all fought clean for today’s special match. Togo used La Mistica Crossface Lock on Sasaki and Fujita followed up with the SAYONARA Tombstone. They wanted to finish him off with the Double Impact but Miyamoto cut them off. Sasaki gave Togo the Pedigree and then used his own La Mistica Crossface Lock to submit Fujita. Sasaki & Miyamoto received a prize from members of the rock band HEAD PHONES PRESIDENT for winning the main event.

Sasaki said the other three wrestlers will eternally be his idols. For his 20th anniversary he wants to finally surpass his master and challenged Togo to a singles match. Togo said he isn’t in the best condition right now and there is a clear difference between them. He asked Sasaki to wait five years so Togo can get into his best shape and also get to wrestle the match at 60! Sasaki will be turning 40 next November but don’t tell him he’s getting weaker as he gets older. He doesn’t have time to get old and promised he will defeat his master eventually! Sasaki also wants to run “CHARISMANIA” as an annual event until he’s held it 2000 times!

Naturally DAMNATION T.A were the featured players for most of the show. KANON also took the fair play route when he fought Shigehiro Irie. He tried fighting as hard as he could by giving Irie a Falcon Arrow as well as the Cobra Twist. Irie smashed him with an Elbow Strike, dropped him from the top rope with an Avalanche Back Flip and pinned him with the Beast Bomber. KANON gave Irie the middle finger instead of shaking his hand after the match.

It wasn’t all clean and fair fighting from the DAMNATION T.A wrestlers. Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami & MJ Paul got into a chair fight with Masashi Takeda & Daichi Sato during their tag match. To be fair, Takeda was just as responsible for making the match violent and also wanted to attack Fire Damnation with his pair of scissors. Sato also stepped up to Paul but was ultimately beaten by him with the Reverse Splash.

Ilusion was joined by Demus & Anarko Montaña to take on the babyface trio of Kaito Ishida, Shunma Katsumata & Diego. Demus brought a more grimy style that worked well with Ilusion & Montaña’s high flying. It ended with that team getting the win when Ilusion pinned Diego with the Swanton Bomb.

Match #2 was the Brahman Army taking on the Kaichow Army with a lot of wrestlers taking either gimmick. The Brahman Brothers got Masahiro Takanashi & Keigo Nakamura to act like them while Ram Kaichow convinced Tetsuya Endo & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi to copy her looks and behavior. Kaichow also brought along the now retired Mataro to be in her team’s corner. Mataro is the member of DDT’s video team who was kept getting put into DAMNATION T.A’s matches during this year’s Beer Garden shows until he was forced to retire from the bit. The Brahman Army attacked him with bats, poured buckets of water over him, dripped slime from their mouths onto him and also put him in the line of fire for the bowling ball suitcase spot. He at least got revenge by doing the same bowling ball spot to the Brahmans. He then got blinded when Kaichow missed her Ectoplasm powder throw and hit him with it by accident. Brahamn Shu threw the suitcase at Kaichow but she dodged it and Nakamura got hit instead. Kaichow took advantage and pinned Nakamura with a School Boy to win.

Two other wrestlers from the SUPER CREW class who debuted along with Sasaki got a spot in the opener. KUBITO beat Naohiro Katsumi in a match that celebrated the 19th anniversary of their debuts. It was also Katsumi’s first wrestling match in 12 years! The two made comments to each other during the match about how long it’s been since they last saw each other. Katsumi also gradually remembered his signature moves as the match went on.

*Shinya Aoki fails in V4. Chris Brookes becomes the 84th KO-D Openweight Champion!

A free to attend show was put together by DDT and sponsors at Higashin Arena to kick off the road to Sumo Hall happening at the end of the year. It featured a major title change in the main event with Chris Brookes defeating Shinya Aoki to become the new KO-D Openweight Champion almost a year after his first reign ended! While the match started off in a calm manner with a lot of mat work, it soon went out of the ring where Brookes put Aoki through a table with a Piledriver. Back in the ring Aoki relied on limb holds to counter Brookes, escaping the Praying Mantis Bomb by using a Side Hammerlock to take control and trap Brookes in the Manjigatame. He used the Full Nelson Hold to try and get a pinfall but Brookes kicked out of two. In return Brookes hit the Somato but Aoki kicked out for a nearfall as well. Brookes was able to put Aoki in the Octopus Hold and switched it over to the House Piano Death, keeping Aoki locked in until the champion had to give up.

Aoki took the loss well and presented Brookes with the KO-D Title belt after the match. Brookes was then told by Hisaya Imabayashi he will defend the title at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2024” on 28th December. Daisuke Sasaki entered the ring with a chair but sat down on it and congratulated Brookes instead of attacking him. Sasaki said Brookes talks a lot about love, romance, dreams and other things like that. The ring doesn’t need any of that stuff so Sasaki will win the title and bring DDT back to being the mess that it should be! He wants to fight Brookes on the biggest stage and challenged him for Sumo Hall. Brookes accepted and even shook Sasaki’s hand without incident.

Backstage Brookes praised Aoki for being incredibly strong. But Brookes had a dream of winning the title again and today it came true. Over the last year he dislocated his shoulder and recovered from a tumor but he was able to overcome all of that to become the champion again. His outlook on life and death has changed because of the last year. He also thinks DAMNATION T.A is just a bunch of B and C class wrestlers so he doesn’t think Sasaki can beat him for the title. Aoki is proud of how his title reign went. The belt is a championship, not a medal so he knew the hard work wasn’t over when he won it. Sasaki however is sick to his stomach of all the love and dreams stuff going on in DDT right now. He isn’t actually interested in becoming KO-D Champion again but he wants to mess up Brookes. His threat is Brookes will have Christmas but he won’t make it to New Year’s!

At some point in the day before the venue doors were open to the public, Yuki Ueno won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Danshoku Dieno. Then at the start of the show Dieno and his team declared they are the Reiwa Meiji Restoration that will overthrow the “government” that is The 37KAMIINA! He demanded that their match in the semi-main event should be Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls so nobody can blame losing twice on a fluke. The first fall ended with a double pin on both sides at the same time. To-y pinned Dieno after doing an assisted Kojima Wonderland with Shunma Katsumata while Super Sasadango Machine was pinning Ueno with a School Boy. Daisuke Kiso ruled The 37KAMIINA as the winners of the fall because To-y and Dieno were the legal wrestlers. Sasadango pinning Ueno didn’t count towards the match but was still accepted as an Iron Man Title change, making Sasadango the new champ! The second fall had Katsumata take the Somato from HARASHIMA, the Danshoku Driver from Dieno and the Lehman Shock from Sasadango but his partner made the save. Katsumata fought back on Sasadango and pinned him with the Totonou Splash to give The 37KAMIINA a clean sweep and become Iron Man Champ in the process. All it cost the team was To-y being sacrificed to Dieno’s antics. Yuni then surprised Katsumata with a Roll Up after the match to take the title from him.

Satoshi Kojima was one of the guest attractions for the show and he was advertised in advance so there was no need to call him “X” beforehand. His presence brought memories back to Antonio Honda of the TenKoji Police arresting the Monster Army back in 2012. This time they were teaming up but Honda was still missing some courage. He wanted to quit the match from the moment he had to square off against Jun Akiyama. A stark difference to Shinichiro Kawamatsu wanting to fight Kojima. Yukio Naya stopped Kojima’s momentum with a Choke Slam so Honda tried to summon Gongitsune. Akiyama blocked Honda but that caused Kojima to do the Gongitsune Eye Poke to him instead! He then intercepted Kawamatu’s Axe Bomber with the Lariat but Naya came back to cut him off. Akiyama got his hands on Honda to give him the Exploder Suplex and Kawamatsu recovered to hit Honda with the Shitamachi Rocket and pin him.

This new version of Ilusion is being described by Sasaki as the little demon who sold his soul to the Devil. He tried to avoid fighting Takeshi Masada early in their match and intentionally Dropkicked the referee from behind so the rest of DAMNATION T.A could run interference. Masahiro Takanashi was already in Masada’s corner for the match so he was there to run counter-interference. However DAMNATION T.A had the numbers advantage and KANON distracted the ref long enough for Ilusion to give Masada a Low Blow, Sasaki to give him the Pedigree and Ilusion to hit him over the head with a chair. The ref was let go in time to see Ilusion do the Swanton Bomb onto Masada and get the three count. Ilusion taunted the fans for being quiet and attacked Masada even more to make them boo him. He then said SCHADENFREUDE International are going to live in a dark future from now on and Masada should never show his annoying face to him ever again!

A lot of the matches on the show had different sponsors which is how DDT was able to have free attendance. Match #4 was sponsored by a wrestling themed social networking app called STOMPING. A masked representative from the company named Stomping Mask introduced the match and watched on to see Makoto Oishi & Soma Takao beat Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata. Oishi admitted during the match he was in a bad mood so Hirata convinced him to wear a pair of Hirata GO! glasses to get rid of his stress. They both danced until Takao rolled up Hirata from behind to pin him. Backstage Stomping Mask complained to Hirata for not doing a good job to promote the app. Hirata attacked and unmasked him to reveal it was Hisaya Imabayashi all along!

DAMNATION T.A also won their 8-Man Tag Match earlier in the show. With Demus added to their lineup they had someone who could go toe to toe with Tetsuya Endo with lucha while KANON & MJ Paul were able to handled Takanashi & Yuya Koroku. Sasaki finished things off for Takanashi by dropping him with the Pedigree and submitting him with the Crossface Lock.

Three mascots made their pro wrestling debut in Match #2. On one side, DDT’s own mascot Pokotan teamed up with Touchi-kun from the Japan Self-Defence Force. Their opponents were Oshinari-kun from the Oshinari Shopping District and Higapyon from the Tokyo Higashi Shinkin Bank. Pokotan had no problem fighting Oshinari-kun but didn’t want to attack the cute rabbit Higapyon. Touchi-kun didn’t approve of how violent Pokotan was acting anyway so the three mascots all stood up to Pokotan. They knocked his head off and Oshinari-kun pinned Pokotan with the Diving Hip Drop. Pokotan saw the error of his ways after the match and the four of them all posed for the audience.

Kazuma Sumi is learning new ways to use the School Boy on his opponents. He was able to spin Yuki Ishida into the cradle to take the three count from him in the opening match. Sumi said he will continue to polish this move even more so he can pin his seniors with it from now on. Yuni was happy with his performance because today is his last match before he wrestles in America for DDT’s tour in Seattle next week. He wants to make a name for himself when he wrestles Gringo Loco and Konosuke Takeshita in his two matches over there. Ishida admitted he underestimated Sumi and Keigo Nakamura also said they have no excuses for losing today.

It was announced that Yuki Iino will face New Japan wrestler Tomohiro Ishii at Korakuen Hall on 22nd December! Iino said he is really looking forward to the heavyweight fight and wants everyone to come see it. He wants to end the year by beating Ishii and then win at Sumo Hall so he can keep on BURNING.

There was an intermission performance by members of the idol group KLP48. They are a sister group of AKB48 based in Kuala Lumpur and today was their first ever performance in Japan.

Akito spoke to the wrestling media after the show. He revealed Sanshiro Takagi saw companies like Kyushu Pro running sponsored shows in their own regions which inspired him to try it out with DDT in Tokyo. Akito thinks there were mistakes made but they are able to learn from them. He will give it some thought before deciding if DDT will hold this event again next year. The goal is to get people excited for DDT’s shows at Korakuen and Sumo Hall at the end of the year. The attendance number above isn’t accurate because people were allowed to come and go from the venue as the show went on. Akito said 1,600 seats were set up and the room could take 1,800 people in total at all times. So the extra 400 to make it 2,200 are considered to be people who came in during the show after other people left (the DDT site briefly had the number at 1,800 as the match results were coming in before quickly changing it to 2,200 after the show had ended).

Aoki held a short interview with Tokyo Sports today where he said his goal is to hold onto the KO-D Openweight Title long enough that he will still be the champion when he has a grappling match in ONE FC this December. Aoki cannot believe he got a fight in ONE scheduled before he got a booking in GLEAT. He then started rambling about Nakajima and asking why he hasn’t been in the news lately?

2. Rika Tatsumi & Arisu Endo Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
3. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Shazza McKenzie

Big children rejoice for it’s the return of Hyper Misao to save the day! No better choice for her first match back from injury than to team up with Shoko Nakajima as Kyoraku Kyomei again. Rika Tatsumi will certainly welcome her back with a big hug that will suspiciously look a lot like a strangulation. Arisu Endo will probably stand to the side and give it a thumbs up.

Zara Zakher will be on the show.

DDT “GET ALIVE 2024”, 23/11/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Akito 15th Anniversary Debut Special Single Match: Isami Kodaka Vs Akito

3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku

BURNING have found themselves back in the front of the line for a KO-D Tag Team Titles shot. This time however Tetsuya Endo is teaming with Yuya Koroku instead of Yuki Iino. Koroku has a pinfall win over Shunma Katsumata and that interested MAO enough to accept his title challenge.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 17: HALLOWEEN II” Results

October 29, 2024

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “VOL. 17: HALLOWEEN II”, 29/10/2024
Tokyo ARENA Shimokitazawa
??? Fans

1. 4 Way Match: MAO defeated Sayaka, Keiko Nakamura and Hondako Antonio when MAO pinned Nakamura with a Rainmaker (?:??).
2. HARASHIMA defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Somato (?:??).
3. Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Chie Koishikawa defeated Ms. Kaichow, Mr. Bueno & Mr. Malo when Brookes & Takanashi pinned Bueno with the HOD (?:??).

Halloween needed a sequel before it even happens so Baka Gaijin + Friends went to work. ChieDK all showed up to the main event in monstrous forms. Chie Koishikawa was now walking the earth as a zombie, Masahiro Takanashi entered the room as a vampire and Chris Brookes was reduced to being a sad clown. Things were a little different for their opponents. Mr. Bueno & Mr. Malo were their usual selves while Ram Kaichow was now wrestling in her own lucha mask under the name Ms. Kaichow (although Brookes quickly unmasked her). At a time when the masked wrestlers needed to be a united team against the forces of darkness, Bueno & Malo soon started to argue because Bueno wanted to fight fair while Malo wasn’t afraid to fight dirty. Things went south when Bueno stopped Malo from using a beer bottle as a weapon. Malo then decided to break the bottle over Bueno’s head! He walked off to let CDK beat Bueno and then returned to drop a pumpkin on top of Bueno’s prone body.

The rest of the card was not announced before the show so fans were surprised to see HARASHIMA show up wearing a pumpkin costume. He also wore plain wrestling trunks he had to borrow from someone else because he forgot to bring his regular wrestling gear. But when it came to his match against Munetatsu Nakamura, HARASHIMA kept it simple and outgrappled his opponent to win.

The opening bout was a 4 Way Match with every wrestler involved competing in a school girl sailor outfit. MAO and Sayaka were in the match as themselves in the costume but Keigo Nakamura and Antonio Honda went full on roleplaying as school girls. MAO ended up taking off his costume to reveal he was wearing a tight gym top and speedo underneath before pinning Nakamura with the Rainmaker.

A costume contest was hosted by Takayuki Ueki during the show. Ueki recently dislocated his shoulder so his costume was Zangief from Street Fighter II after he loses a fight. The winner came dressed a Chris Brookes and was even brought back for the main event to briefly swap places with the real Chris Brookes.

Baka Gaijin will be holding their 2nd Anniversary show on 10th December.
