He is instead the referee for Takeshi Masada Vs Kazuma Sumi Vs Rukiya. He promises to be very strict towards all three of them.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TOUR 2023 IN MIYAGI” Results

November 23, 2023

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TOUR 2023 IN MIYAGI”, 23/11/2023
Miyagi Yume Messe West Building Hall
226 Fans

1. KANON defeated Kazuma Sumi with the Sleepy Hollow (6:00).
2. Daisuke Sasaki & Demus defeated Yuni & Yuya Koroku when Demus pinned Yuni with La Valagueza (8:25).
3. Miyagi Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi defeated Kazuki Hirata & Aizawa No.1 & Ilusion when HARASHIMA pinned Ilusion with the Somato (11:43).
4. Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Rukiya when Okada pinned Rukiya with the Sudden Death (10:37).
5. Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo defeated MJ Paul with the Burning Star Press (13:31).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Toy Kojima defeated Chris Brookes, Akito & Yukio Naya when MAO pinned Akito with the Cannonball 450° (25:42).

A DDT show happening in Miyagi always means something to MAO because it is his home region. Today’s event especially so because it was the first time DDT was able to visit Miyagi Yume Messe since 2019. After winning in the main event MAO said he wants next year’s Miyagi show to be held in his hometown of Osaki City. He has a good feeling it will happen next year and he even has a particular date in mind. He won’t say what it is though until he makes sure it will happen. Yuki Ueno was appreciative that the active members of The 37KAMIINA were able to team together because it reminds him how important his friends are.

Tetsuya Endo bounced back from his “ULTIMATE PARTY 2023” defeat to Daisuke Sasaki by beating MJ Paul in a match filled with DAMNATION T.A interference. Endo fought off distractions from Sasaki and KANON and matched up against Paul’s power to win with the Torture Rack Bomb and Burning Star Press. He thanked the fans for their support and said he loves Sendai just as much as MAO does even if he only sold two chekis at the merch stand before his match.

Miyagi Yume Messe West Building Hall

1. KANON Vs Kazuma Sumi

5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shuichiro Katsumura & Takuya Wada (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii & Munetatsu Nakamura
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Shota

It’s the return of Dan The Dad, back in Japan to see all his kids from that part of the world again. Does that mean they are the same “big children” Hyper Misao always say hello to in her speeches?

DDT “D-OH GRAND PRIX 2023 IN OSAKA”, 09/12/2023
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall

1. Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda Vs Akito & Kazuma Sumi
2. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Yuki Iino & Rukiya
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi Vs MAO, Toy Kojima & Takeshi Masada

6. D-Oh Grand Prix 2023 – B Block: Yukio Naya Vs KANON
7. D-Oh Grand Prix 2023 – B Block: Kazuki Hirata Vs Rei Saito
8. All Asia Tag Team Titles: Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku

Since D.O.A are sticking around for the time being, Jun Akiyama is splitting his time between them and BURNING. He does not have many days left as part of the latter group but he’ll be cheering on Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku in the All Asia Tag Team Titles match against Eruption.

DDT “D-OH GRAND PRIX 2023 IN FUKUOKA”, 16/12/2023
Fukuoka Nishitetsu Hall

0. Dark Match – Kyushu Sangyo University Pro Wrestling Research Department Offer Match: Ionazun Shirai & Tiger Nishiya Mask Vs Great Tamu & Occult Daimao
1. Yukio Sakaguchi, Soma Takao & Rukiya Vs Yukio Naya, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku

7. D-Oh Grand Prix 2023 – B Block: Chris Brookes Vs Kazuki Hirata
8. D-Oh Grand Prix 2023 – B Block: KANON Vs Rei Saito

It’s good to see Vent Vert Jack again. I wanted him to stick around with or without the DDTeeeen!! project but it just wasn’t meant to be.

When in doubt, go to the college pro wrestling clubs for some new blood. Kyushu Sangyo University has four wrestlers on offer: Ionazun Shirai, Tiger Nishiya Mask, Great Tamu and Occult Daimao.

DDT “D-OH GRAND PRIX 2023 IN KUMAMOTO”, 17/12/2023
Kumamoto Sakurajuji Hall Yatsushiro Multipurpose Hall

1. Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani Vs Kazuki Hirata & Kazuma Sumi

4. The 37KAMIINA Vs Harimao!: Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida
5. D-Oh Grand Prix 2023 – A Block: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Yuki Iino
6. D-Oh Grand Prix 2023 – B Block: MAO Vs KANON

This show is in Yuki Ishida’s home region so he gets a tag match against the KO-D Openweight Champion.

This might be the last time the main four members of BURNING are all teaming together before Akiyama leaves the unit.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2024 TOUR IN OSAKA DAY 1”, 06/01/2024
Osaka 176BOX

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles – DEAD OR ALIVE Contra DEAD OR ALIVE: Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi (c) Vs Bodyguard, Tsutenkakka & X

A dispute has emerged over the D.O.A name. The initials used by the team means “Dead Or Alive”. However that is also the name of Bodyguard’s theme song and he does not want anybody else using the phrase while he’s around. He is putting together a team made up of Osaka wrestlers to challenge the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions. If Bodyguard’s team win then they get the belts and D.O.A must give up their team name. Tsutenkakka volunteered to be one of the members of the team. The other will be whoever from Osaka that Bodyguard thinks has enough guts to take on the challenge.

Wrestling In A Park, TJPW In Aichi, Akito Brings In Sugiura

November 17, 2023

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN NARAHA TOWN”, 18/11/2023
Fukushima Tenjin Misaki Sports Park

1. Falls Count Anywhere 3 Way Tag Match: MAO & Toy Kojima Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Makoto Oishi Vs Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi (Special Referee: Shunma Katsumata)

There’s a big scrap going on down in the park tomorrow if you’re happening to be jogging by.

DDT “GET ALIVE 2023 IN OSAKA”, 19/11/2023
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku Vs Kazuma Sumi & Yuni
2. Osaka Specialty Special Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Tsutenkakka Vs Danshoku Dieno & Ilusion
3. KANON & MJ Paul Vs Akito & Rukiya
4. Special Single Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Takeshi Masada
5. Special Hardcore 6-Man Tag Match: The Great Nita, The Great Koji & HARASHIMA Vs Jun Akiyama, Bodyguard & Makoto Oishi
6. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Demus
7. Road To D-Oh Grand Prix Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, Yuki Ueno & Kazusada Higuchi Vs Tetsuya Endo, Yukio Naya & Kazuki Hirata

The D-Oh Grand Prix preview match headlines DDT’s return to Osaka.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TOUR 2023 IN MIYAGI”, 23/11/2023
Miyagi Yume Messe West Building Hall

1. KANON Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Rukiya
3. Daisuke Sasaki & Demus Vs Yuni & Yuya Koroku
4. Miyagi Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Kazuki Hirata & Aizawa No.1 Vs HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi
5. Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo Vs MJ Paul
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Toy Kojima Vs Chris Brookes, Akito & Yukio Naya

We get to see Yuki Ueno and Chris Brookes against each other again eleven days after “ULTIMATE PARTY 2023”.

It should be no surprise to see that Demus has sided with DAMNATION T.A during his stay here. He’ll delight in helping Daisuke Sasaki torment Yuni.

Yesterday Jun Akiyama announced he will be leaving BURNING by the end of the year. So this might be the last time Yusuke Okada teams with him in a regular tag match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~NAGOYA IPPONJIME~”, 26/11/2023
Aichi NGK Sports Plaza 3rd Stadium

1. Arisu Endo Vs Runa Okubo
2. Suzume Vs Haru Kazashiro
3. Hyper Misao Vs Raku
4. Shoko Nakajima & Kaya Toribami Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Viva Van
5. Miyu Yamashita, Mahiro Kiryu & Toga Vs Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & HIMAWARI
6. Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Shino Suzuki Vs Max The Impaler, Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku
7. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki Vs Yuki Arai & Moka Miyamoto

It’s a big deal for Yuki Arai & Moka Miyamoto to be getting one of the last Magical Sugar Rabbits matches while Yuka Sakazaki is still here. Another sign that the promotion is backing Miyamoto a bit more lately.

The semi-main event is a preview of the Princess Tag Team Titles match. Free WiFi gets a taste of what Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku will throw at them. I mean it will mainly be Max throwing Pom at them but maybe Yuki Aino can help with giving them other ideas.

This will be Viva Van’s first match with Tokyo Joshi Pro. Can’t imagine her not getting along with Yuki Kamifuku.

Wakana Uehara is not on the show because she has a stage performance going on somewhere else that day.

DDT “D-OH GRAND PRIX 2023 IN SHINJUKU DAY 1”, 02/12/2023
Shinjuku FACE

1. D-Oh Grand Prix 2023 – A Block: Tetsuya Endo Vs HARASHIMA
2. D-Oh Grand Prix 2023 – A Block: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Daisuke Sasaki
3. D-Oh Grand Prix 2023 – B Block: Chris Brookes Vs KANON
4. D-Oh Grand Prix 2023 – B Block: MAO Vs Kazuki Hirata
5. D-Oh Grand Prix 2023 – B Block: Yukio Naya Vs Rei Saito
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Soma Takao & Shota (c) Vs Toru Sugiura & Akito

It will be a battle within the Young Communication generation for ROMANCE DAWN’s next KO-D Tag Team Titles defence. Akito isn’t happy to see Shota & Soma Takao surpassing him with their recent success when for years he’s been positioned on a level above both of them. He is bringing in Toru Sugiura, the current KING Of FREEDOMS champion to try and take the tag belts off them. Sugiura was a regular part of the Monthly Young Communication shows that DDT’s rookies at the time put together during the early 2010s along with Akito, Shota and Takao.

Let’s Have Fun Death Match, A Great Koji Appears, Eruption’s AJPW Plans

November 6, 2023

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2023”, 12/11/2023

10. Goodcom Presents Saki Akai Retirement Match ~Strong, Noble, Beautiful~: Saki Akai, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani Vs Naomichi Marufuji, Kazusada Higuchi & Miyu Yamashita
11. Dramatic Dream Match: Chris Jericho Vs KONOSUKE TAKESHITA
12. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Yuki Ueno

First thing’s first, Hiromu Takahashi won back the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Taiji Ishimori at New Japan over the weekend. So his match with Kazuki Hirata is back to being a title match unless he loses it again before then. The two met each other today for a Youtube broadcast to decide the rules for their match. But before that, Hirata tried to pin Takahashi to win the belt right there and then. Takahashi kicked out so Hirata immediately announced the match rules he came up with. It will consist of multiple rounds and each round will use a stipulation created by past DDT Extreme Champions along with new stipulations that are being kept secret until the show. A roulette wheel containing all of the stipulations will be used to determine what gets used every round. Hirata then tried to pin Takahashi with another School Boy but failed again, causing Hirata to leave. By the way, the match is also now being sponsored by Nivea.

A public press conference will be held the day before the show featuring several wrestlers involved with the big matches. That means Chris Brookes, Yuki Ueno, Chris Jericho, Konosuke Takeshita, Matt Cardona, Steph de Lander and MAO will all be there.

DDT “ULTIMATE PARTY 2023 OFFICIAL AFTER EVENT IN RYOGOKU”, 13/11/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku Pier

1. X Vs X

The previously announced special guest Katsuji Nagashima has to pull out of the aftershow due to concerns that his health is deteriorating.

DDT “GET ALIVE 2023 TOUR IN SHINJUKU”, 16/11/2023
Shinjuku FACE

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles 1-DAY Tournament – Round 1: Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Antonio Honda Vs Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi
2. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles 1-DAY Tournament – Round 1: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Toy Kojima Vs Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul
3. Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku Vs Noriyuki Yoshida & Rukiya
4. Soma Takao, Shota, Tetsuya Endo & Yukio Naya Vs Sanshiro Takagi, HARASHIMA, Kazusada Higuchi & Akito
5. Special Single Match: Demus Vs Kazuma Sumi
6. DDT Extreme Title: Kazuki Hirata (c) Vs MIKAMI
7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles 1-DAY Tournament – Final: X, X & X Vs X, X & X

The “Big Luchador” Demus begins his DDT tour with a match against Kazuma Sumi.

DDT “GET ALIVE 2023 IN OSAKA”, 19/11/2023
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku Vs Kazuma Sumi & Yuni
2. KANON & MJ Paul Vs Akito & Rukiya
3. Osaka Specialty Special Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Tsutenkakka Vs Danshoku Dieno & Ilusion
4. Special Single Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Takeshi Masada
5. International Special Single Match: Demus Vs MAO
6. Special Hardcore 6-Man Tag Match: The Great Nita, The Great Koji & HARASHIMA Vs Jun Akiyama, Bodyguard & Makoto Oishi
7. Road To D-Ou Grand Prix Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, Yuki Ueno & Kazusada Higuchi Vs Tetsuya Endo, Yukio Naya & Kazuki Hirata

There’s been an emergency change in plans over the Hardcore 6-Man Tag Match. Both Atsushi Onita and Toy Kojima are unable to be at the show but two replacements have been found. Onita will be replaced with The Great Nita! Joining him is The Great Koji… but not the one from 2002 All Japan. DDT is pretty clear this Great Koji is Toy Kojima’s alter ego, so don’t confuse him for Satoshi Kojima’s one-off gimmick.

Sanshiro Takagi and Tsutenkakka are teaming up again after the last time went so well for them.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TOUR 2023 IN MIYAGI”, 23/11/2023
Miyagi Yume Messe West Building Hall

1. Miyagi Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Kazuki Hirata & Aizawa No.1 Vs HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi
2. Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo Vs MJ Paul
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, Akito & Yukio Naya Vs Yuki Ueno, MAO & Toy Kojima

The next time Brookes and Ueno face each other after their KO-D Openweight Title match will be later this month in Miyagi.

Aw man, Tetsuya Endo and MJ Paul will have to fight each other. I know it’s MJ Paul and not Mad Paulie but the match can still turn out to be an emotional one for Endo. It’s like being told to fight your pet labrador because you don’t hang out anymore.

A new face appears in DDT. Aizawa No.1 got his name from his days working at a host club in Kabukicho. He wrestled for Michinoku Pro in the late 2000s, retired for a few years and then returned 2015 bouncing around the wrestling scene ever since.

Demus will be on the show.

DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2023 IN OSAKA”, 09/12/2023
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall

1. D-Ou Grand Prix 2023 – A Block: Yuki Ueno Vs Tetsuya Endo
2. D-Ou Grand Prix 2023 – A Block: Kazusada Higuchi Vs HARASHIMA
3. D-Ou Grand Prix 2023 – B Block: Yukio Naya Vs KANON
4. D-Ou Grand Prix 2023 – B Block: Kazuki Hirata Vs Rei Saito
5. All Asia Tag Team Titles: Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani (c) Vs Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku

Yukio Sakaguchi has already gone to see his father Seiji Sakaguchi and brought along his half of the All Asia Tag Team Titles to proudly show off his achievement. Now the challenge is for him and Hideki Okatani to keep hold of the titles with defence after defence. Eruption are using their champion status to enter the Real World Tag League in All Japan as representatives of DDT. In the meantime they will put the All Asia Tag Titles on the line against Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku in DDT. Okada & Koroku have been teaming up a lot lately and want to win the belts so that they belong to BURNING again. Koroku is also fueled with jealousy over his rival Okatani’s success lately.

1. Suzume defeated Runa Okubo with the Ring A Bell (5:45).
2. 3 Way Match: Mahiro Kiryu defeated Raku and Shino Suzuki when Kiryu pinned Suzuki with the Spinebuster (7:43).
3. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Toga & Haru Kazashiro when Misao submitted Kazashiro with the Chickenwing Face Lock (11:59).

It’s been four years since Tokyo Joshi Pro was last in Sendai. Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku closed out the show by wishing everybody “Motherfucking peace!”

Moka Miyamoto continues to struggle fighting against Free WiFi without Juria Nagano there with her. Today was the final warm up match though. Miyamoto will be reunited with Nagano for the Princess Tag Team Titles match next week. They better be ready because Nao Kakuta said her teamwork with Hikari Noa has gotten even better ever since they became the new champions.

After beating HIMAWARI in under five minutes, Regina gave some comments backstage. She said she has come to TJPW not only to show she is the best female wrestler in Europe but she is also the best in the world! She does not know what kind of match she will have against Miyu Yamashita next week but nothing is going to stop her from conquering TJPW!

Big Head Vs Diamond Hips, Takeshita Becomes Part Of Tanaka’s History, Old Dog Sasaki, Princess Title In USA

7. International Princess Title: Thunder Rosa (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima

The contract for the Princess Tag Team Titles match was signed at the beginning of yesterday’s show. Raku is excited to have a title match and wants to be taken to a world she has never seen before. Maki Itoh is happy to have somebody as pure as Raku teaming with her. She will bring the colour of Itoh out of Raku. Miu Watanabe is still feeling frustrated over losing to Raku recently. The result makes her want to spring into defending the tag titles. Rika Tatsumi started a fight with Itoh which is stronger, Tatsumi’s “diamond hips” or Itoh’s “big head”. Tatsumi is also still bitter over losing a singles match to Itoh last year.

DDT “SHIMOKITAZAWA FIGHTING THEATER 2020”, 03/03/2020

7. DDT Extreme Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

Masato Tanaka is bringing over more of his outsider friends for his match against future challengers. Now Takuya Sugawara from ZERO1 is coming in to team with Tanaka and take on ALL OUT.

Not sure if having a No DQ Match against Maku Donaruto is a suitable welcome back gift but Shunma Katsumata is getting it anyway.

5. Yesterday’s Enemy Is Today’s Friend! Indie Jr. Title Preliminary Battle Special Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii & Yumehito Imanari Vs Kouki Iwasaki & Shigeyuki Kawahara

6. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Masato Tanaka (c) Vs Konosuke Takeshita

After being away from the KO-D Openweight Title scene for a while, Konosuke Takeshita is excited to be chosen as the next challenger. He remembers his dad once renting an FMW video tape with Tanaka’s matches on it. Ever since then Takeshita has followed Tanaka’s career. Now his name will be written into the Reiwa era of Tanaka’s wrestling history. Tanaka was honored to hear this but he still thinks he will beat Takeshita. He is from the land of athletes worthy of being athletes because of his background with Gold’s Gym. When the match takes place, Tanaka will make the fans think he is still strong. He named the four wrestlers he thinks are the symbols of DDT: HARASHIMA, Tetsuya Endo, Daisuke Sasaki and Konosuke Takeshita. Tanaka is one win away from having a clean sweep against all of them.

Sasaki briefly stole the DDT UNIVERSAL Title right after Chris Brookes became the first champion. He gave the belt back and apologised for his thievery. He promised to reflect on his actions and will only claim the title belt by winning it as an athlete. Brookes does not believe Sasaki is being honest. He thinks Sasaki is strange like an old dog. His promise is to put Sasaki out of his misery and maybe even stab him. Brookes warned that their match for the UNIVERSAL Title will not be a true representation of his ring skill. It will be a dirty match on both sides.

A lot more is happening on this show. Naomichu Marufuji returns to wrestle for DISASTER BOX, the Business Alliance of DAMNATION & #STRONGHEARTS are pitted against the newest DDT unit Eruption and 19 year old Hideki Okatani has his debut match.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “HERMIT PURPLE 2020”, 21/03/2020
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Kouki Iwasaki

Sometimes having a dominant champion can be boring. Kouki Iwasaki thinks that way about Keisuke Ishii and the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title. Iwasaki wants to be the strongest wrestler in Ganpro. Beating Ishii and winning the title will make him just that.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “MIZUMOTO GENERAL SPORTS CENTER GYM 4TH ANNIVERSARY POOL PRO WRESTLING”, 22/03/2020
Tokyo Mizumoto Sports Center Gymnasium Heated Pool

1. Falls Count Anywhere 6-Man Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii, Yumehito Imanari & Shota Vs Hiroshi Yamato, Cherry & Gota Ihashi

This show has been cancelled. The match was supposed to be held as part of the venue’s 4th anniversary celebrations but management has called off all public events over concerns of the Coronavirus epidemic.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW IS COMING TO AMERICA WITH DDT”, 03/04/2020
The Ritz Ybor City, Tampa, Florida

1. DDT Pro Wrestling Offer Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Yuki Ueno
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) Vs Su Yung

Tampa’s main event will be a rematch from last August’s Korakuen Hall show. Yuka Sakazaki and Su Yung fought to a double knockout when they choked each other out with Mandible Claws. This time around the Princess Of Princess Title is on the line so a winner must be determined!
