Just as quick as it started, MatchMake & Agent Pro Wrestling has already come to an end. Sanshiro Takagi kicked off the show with a big announcement regarding the future of this spin-off project that was made to celebrate his 30 years in the business. The announcement is today’s the final M&A show! He assured everyone this decision is not for any kind of troubling reason. Takagi is going to continue booking these kind of shows but he decided to give them a makeover. The 19th August show that was meant to be an M&A event is now the debut of Super Japan Pro Wrestling! The name was originally one of the options to call DDT when it launched way back in 1997. It was NOSAWA Rongai who suggested “Cho Nippon Pro Wrestling” because every wrestling promotion at the time was called ___ Japan Pro Wrestling. Takagi rejcted it, leading to Dramatic Dream Team being chosen instead. But since multiverses are all the rage nowadays, Takagi wants to imagine what it would be like if Super Japan was the name chosen over DDT.
The main event of what is now the last M&A show had Yuji Nagata from New Japan facing Ken Ohka from Ganbare☆Pro in what was a dream match for Ohka. He used Headbutts to fight against Nagata’s kicks and chops then used the Flame Spear for a nearfall. Nagata fought back with an Exploder Suplex, Middle Kicks and the Back Drop Hold to get the three count. After the match Ohka said he had watched Nagata on TV for years and here he is standing in front of him. But Ohka knew that he couldn’t win with admiration so he fought as hard as he could. He asked Nagata to give him encouragement so he can continue wrestling for another five years and become strong enough to some day beat him. Nagata praised Ohka for having soul and told him a truly strong person is someone who can get up on their own even when they lose. Ohka is already a strong person so Nagata told him to work harder to get even stronger. He then slapped Ohka across the face and promised him they can have a rematch in five years time.
Before the show could end, Takagi came back out to talk to Nagata. He told everyone that Nagata is going to be the ace of Super Japan! Not only that but there are some people in the back who would love to team up with him. Out came The Brahman Brothers! They asked Nagata to team up with them on 19th August to give everyone an exciting match. They even said they want to do it Blue Justice style while he can become Brahman Yuji! Nagata apologetically turned them down and left the ring. The Brahmans chased after him to reconsider while Takagi told the fans to please wait for an official decision in the future.
Muscle Sakai had a lot of thoughts on his mind going into today’s show. He was here to say goodbye to everyone because Suwama was about to destroy him. After coming off an historic one match show where he as Super Sasadango Machine defended the DDT Extreme Title against Toru Yano, he was now being booked to fight Suwama only because Takagi thinks they have similar looking faces. He has no ideas and is entering the match empty handed. But when he and Suwama fought their way up to the entrance stage, Sasadango suddenly appeared shouting like Takagi usually does! He attacked Suwama and even brought out the Dramatic Dream bike to crash it into him. Suddenly Suwama’s music started playing and Sakai reappeared wearing a homemade Suwama costume! The two Suwamas teamed up on “Sasadango” until the fake Suwama hit the real one with a Lariat by mistake. The real Suwama hit back with a Lariat and then gave Sakai the Back Drop to get the pin.
After the match Suwama unmasked “Sasadango” to show it was indeed Takagi underneath. Takagi said it was all Sakai’s idea so Suwama should get mad at him. Sakai was surprised to find out he survived the match and told Suwama he passed his test. He explained he’s been looking for a new master to learn from after being under Takagi’s tutelage for many years. Sakai is currently a freelancer so he asked Suwama if he could join Pro Wrestling Evolution as their third super heavyweight wrestler? Suwama said no and told Sakai that the Sasadango mask suits him better. Takagi asked Suwama to reconsider because this was the final MatchMake & Agent show and advised Sakai to write up a proper resume. Suwama agreed and ordered Sakai to get all of his documents in order, then he will consider it.
The Brahman Brothers crossed paths with somebody who may just be as crazy as they are. No, not Antonio Honda but Rika Tatsumi! The match quickly transformed into a massive water fight throughout the venue. Back in the ring The Brahmans did their bowling ball and suitcase spot with Tatsumi taking the brunt of the damage. But she got her own back by doing the same spot to them. Brahman Kei grabbed Honda so Brahman Shu could hit him with a traffic sign but Tatsumi blocked it by choking him. She then grabbed the sign but when she swung it at her opponent, Honda got hit instead. The Brahmans then got rid of Tatsumi and used the Gotai Fumanzoku to pin Honda.
Yoshiko Hasegawa’s retirement road reunited her with Momo Kohgo resulting in a rare Tokyo Joshi Pro Vs Stardom singles match. But the focus was more on the two’s history with each other going back to Actwres girl’Z. Hasegawa kept trying to put Kohgo in the Muffler Hold but in the end Kohgo pinned her with the Nectar Peach for the victory. She thanked Hasegawa for choosing her for one of her last remaining matches before retirement. She also thanked Takagi for putting the match together and Taro Okada for permitting it to happen. She then talked about her history with Yoppy up to when they went their seperate ways and how they would go eat ramen together on their way home. Yoppy joked about how they would always get told off in the dressing room for being clumsy and they would talk to each other about it on the train ride home. She thanked Stardom and TJPW for watching over her retirement road then told Kohgo they should go eat ramen together again.
The always long-lasting entrance of Kuroshio TOKYO Japan led to a split of opinion on the other team. Munenori Sawa enjoyed it and was having fun while Mio Shirai got sick of it to the point she got on the microphone to complain. She eventually convinced the sound team to cut the music so the match could start. Her grumpy attitude also made Momoka Hanazono upset. She started crying when Shirai stopped her from using her bubble toy as a weapon. Both Kuroshio and Sawa tried to step in but Shirai got angry at them too, causing the two men to also start crying. That caused all three of them to team up against Shirai until Hanazono accidentally hit Sawa with the bubble toy. The match continued normal from there and Hanazono used the bubble toy once more, hitting Shirai with it so Kuroshio could reverse her Rolling Cradle pin and steal the victory.
The opening match between Shota and Fuminori Abe had the two switch to a more classic style of wrestling in order to out-do one another. Abe got the upper hand and repositioned himself from a Roll Up to pin Shota with a German Suplex.
At the end of the show Takagi announced the very first match for Super Japan’s debut show on 19th August. He invited MIKAMI down to the ring and reminded fans he is one of DDT’s founding members. Takagi wants to rewrite history by putting MIKAMI in Super Japan’s first match and his opponent will be TAKA Michinoku! MIKAMI congratulated Takagi on finally launching Super Japan and said he himself has a deep bond with Michinoku because they are both turning 52 this year. He is going to go back to basics for this match and start again from scratch.
