DDT “D GENERATIONS 8” Results

March 7, 2026

DDT “D GENERATIONS 8”, 07/03/2026
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Ali Najima defeated Hinata Kasai with a Crab Hold (9:15).
2. Scramble Bunkhouse Death Match: Ilusion defeated Mikiya Sasaki with an Inside Cradle (10:43).
3. Special Single Match: Takeshi Masada defeated Daichi Sato with the Manburi (10:11).
4. Yuya Koroku & Kazuma Sumi defeated Yuki Ishida & Rukiya when Sumi pinned Rukiya with the School Boy (11:27).
5. Special Single Match: To-y defeated Hideki Okatani with a Slap (14:57).

Before their DDT Extreme Title match can take place at DDT’s anniversary show on 22nd March, To-y and Hideki Okatani had a warm up singles bout against each other on today’s D GENERATIONS event. To-y ended up getting his first ever win against Okatani after slapping him to the mat and keeping him pinned down for the three count. He doesn’t understand why Okatani had kept himself quiet for so long while To-y was doing title defence afer title defence to become the absolute best Extreme Champion.

After wrestling each other one on one Takeshi Masada and Daichi Sato both believe they are now on the same page. They will be ready to challenge for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles alongside Yuya Koroku on 11th March.

Mikiya Sasaki carried a croquet mallet to the ring to replicate the times when one of the Funk Brothers would carry down a branding iron. Ilusion demanded they have a Scramble Bunkhouse Death Match with the mallet place in the middle of the ring. The two of them then went out over to the wall and began the match both sprinting to try and grab the mallet before their opponent could. While the weapon was used plenty, the match came down to several Low Blow between the wrestlers, some intentional and some accidental. Sasaki applied the Spinning Toe Hold but Ilusion countered it into an Inside Cradle to win the match.

Over the weekend Yuni injured his left elbow and he has since been diagnosed with a joint contusion that needs two weeks of rest in order to recover. For that reason Yuni will be missing all of the DDT shows in the first half of March starting with the next D GENERATIONS show. Mikiya Sasaki is replacing him as Ilusion’s new opponent.

Chika is coming over from Pro Wrestling Evolution.

Munetatsu Nakamura is still undergoing rehabilitation for his neck injury. It’s been decided his goal of returning to the ring this month will not happen and he will remain out of action during March. GanPro along with Nakamura’s doctor all want to ensure he is in top condition when he is ready to wrestle again.

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. Jun Akiyama & Kazuki Hirata Vs HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda
2. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, MJ Paul & Ilusion Vs Kazuma Sumi, Naomi Yoshimura, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shinya Aoki, Junta Miyawaki & Viento Maligno Vs Chris Brookes, Yuni & Hinata Kasai
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shishamo Power, Unagi Mask & Gota Ihashi Vs Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
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

A new unit is developing among the D GENERATIONS wrestlers. Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku decided to create a new stable focused on their age group and Daichi Sato agreed to join them. They don’t have a name at the moment so are temporarily being referred to as the New Generation Army. Since they already consist of three people they are going to fight for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles as their first big challenge. Kaisei Takechi is itching to wrestle again sooner than scheduled so he along with Yuki Ueno & To-y are ready to defend their titles next week.

We’re approaching that time of year when DDT holds sponsored matches with the Yamada Suisan seafood company. That means the return of the masked seafood themed wrestlers Shishamo Power and Unagi Mask. The match also sees Yuki Iino return to action after he’s been away training for his American Football team.

A bonus dark match is being provided by Tokyo Joshi Pro. At the time of writing Rika Tatsumi is still the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. Could the belt be going back home to DDT? Not if she has any say in it. Her goal as the champion is to bring the title all the way to TJPW’s Sumo Hall show at the end of the month.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2026 ~29TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 22/03/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Single Match ~ Shunma Katsumata Return Match: MAO Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. Dramatic Dream Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kazuki Hirata (w/ John Robinson)
3. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Hideki Okatani
4. DDT Universal Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) Vs Kazuma Sumi
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs KANON

If it’s all been fun and games for To-y so far as the DDT Extreme Champion then Hideki Okatani is here to bring an end to it. To-y is gradually approaching the record for most Extreme Title defences in a single reign but Okatani is accusing him of padding out wins by only fighting old washed up wrestlers. To-y argues against that because some of his challengers so far have been from their own generation too.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Mizuki Vs Andreza Giant Panda
2. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro (w/ Super Sentai) Vs Aja Kong, Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku
3. Special Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Hyper Misao & Super Sasadango Machine
4. International Princess Title: MIRAI (c) Vs Suzume
5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara (c) Vs Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Yuki Arai

Apparently TJPW went and did it. They struck a deal to have something Super Sentai related to show up at Sumo Hall and be involved with the ToJo Tokusatsu Club’s match. At least I think that is what’s happening. I’m confused because I thought the TV show just ended recently to be replaced with a similar substitute for reasons that involve the studio moving on from a copyright deadlock. I guess we’ll find out at Sumo Hall what the Super Sentai collaboration will look like. Maybe the Tokusatsu Club gets to morph into their own Super Sentai outfits before they go out and fight Pompaler & Aja Kong. Actually they should go full Kaiju Big Battel and have the ring filled with small cardboard buildings for everyone to smash and slam each other on.

The Tokusatsu Club recently completed their “fireball return” training but since fire was absolutely prohibited, they ended up doing batting practice with Tetsu Inada instead. There are updates for some of the other Super Sasadango Machine PR tasks to catch up on. The roster has spent the last few days putting up posters for the show around Tokyo. Minimo-chan has taken up weight training for its debut match. Shino Suzuki is finding more and more influencers to challenge for games of Rock Paper Scissors but has only beaten one opponent so far. She has to keep doing this until she beats two more.

Sasadango has also come up with more challenges for the wrestlers who haven’t been given any tasks yet. He has asked Shion Kanzaki to hold a street performance in the heart of Shinjuku. Meanwhile Miyu Yamashita was told to take on intensive idol training.


DDT “D GENERATIONS 5 ~UNFINISHED SHACHIHOKO BOYS~” Results

August 16, 2025

DDT “D GENERATIONS 5 ~UNFINISHED SHACHIHOKO BOYS~”, 16/08/2025
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Tag Match: Daichi Sato & Yuki Ishida defeated Takahiro Hiramoto & Masanori Kanu Watanabe when Ishida pinned Watanabe with the Flame Palm (12:13).
2. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Battle: To-y defeated Grand Passion Mask No. 4 with the Kojima Impact (8:06).
3. Ilusion defeated Mikiya Sasaki with a Rope-Assisted Backslide Pin (6:43).
4. Hideki Okatani defeated Ryoma Tsukamoto with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (8:24).
5. Special Single Match: Shota defeated Yuya Koroku with a Crucifix Pin (12:06).
6. Special Tag Match: Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi defeated Yu Shimizu & Ali Najima when Sumi pinned Najima with the School Boy (15:04).

The fifth D GENERATIONS show took place outside of Tokyo for the first time. Everyone instead went over to Nagoya to fight a fresh set of opponents away from the Young Communication side. The main event pitted Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi against the local Sportiva team of Yu Shimizu & Ali Najima. Sumi scored the win for the D GENERATIONS team but Najima demanded a singles match with him afterward.

Shota was the only Young Communication wrestler on the show so he felt the need to be at his best against Yuya Koroku. He used a Crucifix Pin as a counter to Koroku’s Armbar to get the win and is pretty pleased with himself over it. Koroku however said things aren’t over between him and Shota.

Ryoma Tsukamoto briefly gave Hideki Okatani a taste of his own medicine when he choked him with a chain outside the ring during their match. But Okatani got his second wind, gave Tukamoto the Claymore Kick into the corner and pinned him with the Verical Drop Brainbuster.

A similar situation happened with Ilusion in his match. Mikiya Sasaki was also willing to use dirty tactics against a DAMNATION T.A wrestler, mainly using the ropes for leveraging his pin attempts. Ilusion fought back using Low Blows but even then Sasaki would give him a Low Blow of his own by accidentally falling head first into Ilusion’s groin. The damage was too much for Sasaki to bear though and Ilusion pinned him with a Backslide Pin with his own feet on the ropes for leverage.

Grand Passion Mask No. 4 tried to trick To-y during the match by stripping down to his underwear and hiding among the audience in the front row. This included removing his mask and leaving it in the ring for To-y to find and get confused. Passion would then attack him from behind but got the back of his underwear pulled down in the process. To-y would then get his hands on him for a Full Nelson Buster followed by the Kojima Impact to protect his Right To Challenge Arm Cover.

Nao Kakuta will be at Yoshiko Hasegawa’s graduation show as a special guest commentator. Another special guest will be Teppei Arita, a Japanese comedian who has written several books about pro wrestling and also hosts his own Youtube series about current stories from around the industry. In fact Hasegawa was interviewed on a recent episode that was uploaded last week.

BASARA “BASARA 283 ~UTAGE~”, 08/07/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Daiki Shimomura Vs Takeru Inoue
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Gouma Ryu Vs Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga
3. Daichi Kazato & Munetatsu Nakamura Vs SAGAT & Minoru Fujita
4. Isami Kodaka & Ryota Nakatsu Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Takato Nakano
5. Ryuichi Sekine, FUMA & Ayumu Honda Vs Masato Kamino, Lil’ Kraken & Fuminori Abe

Last month Ayumu Honda joined forces with Hyakusho Ikki even though he didn’t really want to. Blame Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi for that. We’ll see how much of a united force they can be in a few days time.

GANBARE☆PRO “WILD AT HEART 2025”, 19/07/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Moeka Haruhi & Yuna Manase Vs Makoto & Chika
2. YuuRI Vs Mio Shirai
3. Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Masaaki Mochizuki & Ken Ohka
4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Mizuki Watase & Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Toru Sugiura & Munetatsu Nakamura

High hopes are fueling Toru Sugiura & Munetatsu Nakamura’s challenge for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles. Nakamura would have gotten injured by Mizuki Watase last month if it wasn’t for Sugiura throwing in the towel. Watase gets needing to preserve yourself for the big title match but he and Shigehiro Irie want the challengers to not say die once the actual match takes place.

Bad tension is building up between YuuRI and Mio Shirai. Will it spill over into something worse when they have their singles match?

Chika is coming over from Pro Wrestling Evolution.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25”, 21/07/2025
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Andreza Giant Panda & Raku Vs Kyoko Inoue & Pom Harajuku
2. Special Tag Match: El Desperado & Maki Itoh Vs Chris Brookes & Emi Sakura
3. Special Single Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Billie Starkz
4. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Moka Miyamoto
5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Yuki Arai

What’s the most chaotic pair of opponents you can find for Chris Brookes & Emi Sakura? How about El Desperado & Maki Itoh! The two originally met in America while working the same GCW show and have been tweeting back and forth for a while about teaming up. Now looks like the perfect time to make it happen. Itoh wants Desperado to learn the Itoh Respect Army dance for their entrance. He didn’t expect that to be part of the deal.

TJPW say a health issue is preventing Max The Impaler from participating at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” so Pom Harajuku needs a new tag team partner. Luckily for her TJPW has decided to bring in Kyoko Inoue as the replacement! The joshi legend currently wrestles for Diana, a promotion that just so happened to join the UJPW recently so I wonder if that new connection helped put this deal together.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GARAFES DASH!! ~UENO KITEKITE DAI SAKUSEN~”, 26/07/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Miu Watanabe, Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami Vs Yuki Arai, Raku & Shino Suzuki

Yuki Arai will wrestle at a Garafes show for the first time.

BASARA “BASARA 285 ~CONTINUATION IS POWER~”, 03/08/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. GRACE PROJECT Sponsored Match: Toru Sugiura, Captain Grace, Shigehiro Irie & Daiki Shimomura Vs Tomoya Hirata, Mizuki Watase, Ultra Soki & HIROYA
2. Special Tag Match: Isami Kodaka & El Desperado Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino
3. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs X

A couple of weeks after Despy appears in TJPW he will then show up in BASARA to team with Isami Kodaka. The two of them were specifically put together for Aijin Tag to fight against.

The Grace Group bus company have their own independent wrestling promotion called GRACE PROJECT. They don’t really have their own roster, save for Captain Grace who is the man in charge of the whole thing. Instead their shows are filled with indie wrestlers from across Japan including those who compete in BASARA. So a lot of familiar faces are showing up in their offer match for the show.

SUPER JAPAN “SANSHIRO TAKAGI 30TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT ~SUPER JAPAN PRO WRESTLING HATAAGE-SEN”, 19/08/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Yasu Urano Vs Mikiya Sasaki
2. Special Single Match: TAKA Michinoku Vs MIKAMI
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Brahman Yuji, Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei Vs Fuminori Abe, Takuya Nomura & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa

Looks like Sanshiro Takagi and The Brahman Brothers are going to get their way. For one night Yuji Nagata is going to become Brahman Yuji! That’s bad news for Astronauts and Munenori Sawa because Nagata does look like he has a good bowling arm.

What can I write about a Yasu Urano Vs Mikiya Sasaki match? Nothing much.

Kuroshio TOKYO Japan will also be on the show.


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

June 12, 2025

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

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

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

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

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


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

May 22, 2025

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

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

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

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2025 IN SHIZUOKA”, 24/05/2025

6. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haruna Neko Vs Kaya Toribami, Wakana Uehara & HIMAWARI
7. Mizuki & Haru Kazashiro Vs Miu Watanabe & Shino Suzuki

Unfortunately Kira Summer has a leg injury and will be unable to wrestle Rika Tatsumi this Saturday. Tatsumi will now face Pom Harajuku instead. The tag match Harajuku was in will now be a 3 Way Match.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2025 FINAL!!”, 25/05/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. SCHADENFREUDE International Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada Vs Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion
2. King Of DDT 2025 – Semi Final: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Yuki Ueno
3. King Of DDT 2025 – Semi Final: KANON Vs Hideki Okatani

5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Yukio Naya & Daichi Sato Vs Shinya Aoki, Shunma Katsumata & To-y
6. DDT Universal Title: Minoru Suzuki (c) Vs Danshoku Dieno
7. King Of DDT 2025 – Final: X Vs X

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

DDT “D GENERATIONS 3 ~ACCELERATING BATTLE, UNSTOPPABLE AMBITION~”, 12/06/2025

4. Special Single Match: Soma Takao Vs Daichi Sato
5. Special Single Match: Keisuke Ishii Vs Yuya Koroku
6. Special Tag Match: Shigehiro Irie & Shota Vs Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi

Away from the tournaments we also have the full card for the next D GENERATIONS show. The young versus old concept is really highlighted by making To-y wrestle the Dory Funk Jr. tribute act Mikiya Sasaki.

7. Special Tag Match – Falls Count Anywhere Match: Yuji Nagata & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan defeated Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei when Nagata submitted Kei with the Arm Lock (16:36).

The recent stretch of wrestling events held at Tokyo Ueno Park was completed today with the debut show for MatchMake & Agent Pro Wrestling. The series was put together by Sanshiro Takagi to celebrate his 30th anniversary in wrestling this year by booking shows without using full time DDT talent. The planned schedule is to run these kind of shows once every two months at least for the rest of the year. With a wide range of connections at his disposal Takagi put together an entire card of first times matchups. He also treated the show like a startup and due to a lack of staff decided to work as a ringside attendant for every match today.

The main event was revealed to be a Falls Count Anywhere match right before it begun. Yuji Nagata & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan continued their new Ikemen tag team and fought fire with fire against The Brahman Brothers. Kuroshio played the song “Keep On Journey” by The Sailor Boys over the speakers to cause massive pcychic damage to The Brahmans (they hate to be reminded of that gimmick). Takagi got caught in the crossfire and ended up getting a bucket of ink poured over his head while Kuroshio and Brahman Shu was fighting over it. Brahman Kei regurgitated green goo from his mouth and drooled it over Nagata. But Nagata grabbed him in the Arm Lock, went into his trance and started regurgitating blue goo from his mouth in response! Kei had no way to combat this and had to give up.

After the match Kuroshio said today he learned that Nagata is the best in the industry and also the best ikemen. He gave Nagata his jacket for him to pose in for the fans when Takagi interrupted them. He told Nagata there is someone backstage who really wants to fight him. It’s Ken Ohka! After Ohka made his entrance he told Nagata he created Ganbare☆Pro 11 years ago to turn pro wrestling into a major sport but he also wanted to be a great wrestler ever since he ws a child. That dream never came true but he wants to challenge “Mr. IWGP” anyway. Takagi confirmed the match will happen on 25th June.

The match between Maki Itoh and Jun Kasai was supposed to be held under normal rules but the two of them treated it like a Hardcore Match. Itoh used her pizza cutter to draw blood from Kasai’s foreheard. Kasai brought out a forkboard only for Itoh to Power Bomb him onto it. Itoh then felt the pain when Kasai stuck a bundle of bamboo skewers onto her head and hit a Lariat. Itoh kicked out of the Reverse Tiger Driver and stuck up her middle finger. Kasai got a kick out of that and shouted out El Desperado’s name before giving Itoh the Pinche Loco. He then won with the Pearl Harbor Splash. He told Itoh afterwards he was going to stick her middle finger up her nose but he isn’t in the mood now. Instead he will raise his index finger to Itoh because she is the No. 1 entertainer wrestler! Itoh said she will definitely surpass Kasai someday. She also said the fans in attendance must be really weird people to come out to a place like this on a Wednesday night. But no matter what happens he encourages them to stick up the middle finger in their hearts.

The KO-D Tag Team Titles match fell apart when the referee kept getting attacked by the wrestlers and put in submissions holds. With him out of the way. Astronauts and SEX-MEN ended up fighting around ringside. During the chaos Hikaru Sato disappeared only for Takagi to show up wearing his wrestling gear and take his place! Takagi & Munenori Sawa teamed up for the first time in years but Astronauts easily launched a counter attack and won the match when Fuminori Abe made his mentor Sawa give up to the O-Manjigatame. Takuya Nomura said they still have a long way to go to break the championship record for most defences. Abe suggested they go find some old guys and beat them.

Panda defeated snake on Match #4. Poison Sawada JULIE was able to stun Andreza Giant Panda with his snake magic but it could only work for so long until Andreza Headbutted him and won with a Body Press. JULIE got a little measure of revenge on Takagi after the match by using his snake magic to throw him to the canvas.

The show introduced Takagi’s attempt at copying the WWE Speed formula called 3 Minutes Impact. Shigehiro Irie defeated Ryoma Tsukamoto in a match Takagi recorded on his phone to stream on DDT’s Twitter account.

Mio Shirai was quickly put into an irritated mood for her match, complaining about Takagi missing Yumiko Hotta’s chain while taking away her entrance gear and calling Miku Kanae ugly while fighting her. She also kept breaking up Hotta’s pins on Saran but Hotta was able to get the win in the end. Hotta praised Shirai for her performance after the match and said she was right to come back to wrestling. She admits she even could have lost to her today if she underestimated her. The two agreed to fight again some day.

The spirit of Dory Funk Jr. was on display in the opening match when Mikiya Sasaki used that kind of moveset against Shota. In a back and forth match Shota countered a Sleeper Hold into a Roll Up to get the win. Sasaki was still in Dory Funk mode after the match and hit Shota with a series of Dory style punches.

At the start of the show Takagi announced that Suwama Vs Muscle Sakai will happen on the 25th June show.
