So What Has Tetsuya Endo Been Up To?

April 14, 2025

It’s been a while since we looked over at NOAH to see what Tetsuya Endo was doing. Last time I wrote about him he was losing the GHC National Title to back to Manabu Soya. Since then OZAWA won the belt to become a double champion thanks to a lot of TEAM 2000X shenanigans that Endo was included in. More shenanigans followed when he decided to immediately vacate the title because he already has the GHC Heavyweight Title. NOAH put together a mini tournament to crown the next champion and Endo took part in it.

3. GHC National Title Tournament – Round 1: Tetsuya Endo defeated Takashi Sugiura with a School Boy (5:59).

Endo made a mockery of Takashi Sugiura in the 1st Round by cheating with some help from Yoshi Tatsu at ringside. He found a moment to knock the ref aside and give Sugiura a Low Blow. Then he pinned him with a School Boy and added some insult to injury by doing MIKAMI’s pose along with the count. Endo said Sugiura is one of the few wrestlers in NOAH he respects. Beating him means he has beaten half of NOAH and next he will crush the other half. Sugiura complained and asked if Endo really came over from DDT to wrestle this way in NOAH?

8. GHC National Title Tournament – Final: Galeno defeated Tetsuya Endo with the Galeno Special (23:46).
*Galeno becomes the 17th GHC National Champion!

Endo was now one step away from reclaiming the National Title for himself. Now he had to go through the really big wall that is Galeno. The latest luchador from the famed Wagner family to ply his trade on the NOAH canvas. TEAM 2000X interfered at the start of the match and Endo relied on using a Low Blow again. But Galeno fought back against the odds and ultimately got the win with the Galeno Special to become the new champion! Endo tried to get a last word in by saying just because Galeno won the title doesn’t mean he is on the same level as his brother El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. However Endo admitted he was beaten and acknowledges that Galeno has gone from a third rate wrestler to a first and a half rate wrestler.

8. No DQ Tag Match: KENTA & Kenoh defeated OZAWA & Tetsuya Endo when KENTA pinned OZAWA with the Go 2 Sleep (25:33).

With Endo now outside of any title picture currently going on, he moved back to TEAM 2000X stuff. He teamed up with OZAWA to take on KENTA & Kenoh in a wild No DQ Match to build up OZAWA’s GHC Title defence against KENTA coming up next month. There were fights in the aisle, attacks with bamboo canes plus weapons like ladders and tables being used. At one point there were a pile of chairs in the ring where every wrestler crashed into when they missed a top rope move. Yoshi Tatsu interfered only for Ulka Sasaki to come out and stop him. KENTA knocked OZAWA off a Giga Ladder through some tables below and pinned him with the Go 2 Sleep afterward.

Backstage Endo was cutting a promo to reporters when Takashi Sugiura approached him. He wanted to know how much longer Endo was going to behave like this and asked if this is what he wants to do in NOAH? Endo won’t answer him so he brought along someone that Endo will listen to. Jun Akiyama! He asked Endo the same questions and Sugiura and told him to remember who he really is. Sugiura suggested he and Akiyama should team up against Endo to help guide him back on the right path. Endo eventually agreed to the challenge because anyone who stands in front of him is his enemy!

DDT “ROAD TO BUDOKAN IN NIIGATA” Results

May 3, 2012

DDT “ROAD TO BUDOKAN IN NIIGATA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TOCHIO NO ABURAAGE~”, 03/05/2012
Niigata City Gymnasium
270 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Tetsuya Endo with a Crab Hold (8:10).
2. Yasu Urano defeated DJ Nira with the Tombstone Piledriver (15:10).
3. Keita Yano defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Clutch In The House (8:02).
4. Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma defeated Hikaru Sato & Michael Suwa when Soma pinned Suwa (10:51).
*Michael Suwa changes his name back to Don Michael.
5. Antonio Honda defeated Shigehiro Irie with a Victory Roll (12:43).
6. Masa Takanashi, HARASHIMA & Daisuke Sasaki defeated Danshoku Dino, KUDO & Makoto Oishi when Takanashi pinned Oishi with the Takatonic (14:18).

The man formerly known as Michael Nakazawa was not happy with having his name changed to Don Michael. So he changed his name to one he likes, Michael Suwa. When New World Japan defeated Do Hentai Dan on this show, he decided to avoid any more trouble and changed his name to Don Michael again.

I won’t be able to update this site again until late tomorrow evening, long after the big Korakuen Hall show takes place. I’ll try my best to post updates of the show on Twitter with the @DramaticDDT page.

We have a very busy end to the week in DDT and Union. Tomorrow, DDT continues their “ROAD TO BUDOKAN” tour with a show in Niigata.

DDT “MAX BUMP 2012”, 04/05/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Gorgeous Matsuno Vs Shota
1. Keisuke Ishii Vs KAI

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Masa Takanashi (c) Vs Yuji Hino

Then we have what will be one of the big DDT shows of the year. Masa Takanashi has the seemingly impossible task of defending the KO-D Openweight Title against Yuji Hino. Masa would have to pull out a miracle performance similar to the one he pulled against Daisuke Sekimoto in 2009, and then some to beat the Crying Wolf powerhouse. We will also see who out of HARASHIMA, KUDO and Yasu Urano will be next to to challenge for the belt. Plus the wait is finally over. Kota Ibushi returns and faces El Generico in what everyone is hoping will be a match for the ages. Also Keisuke Ishii will be flying the flag for DDT and defending their honour against All Japan’s KAI. Finally we could see New World Japan unveiling their newest member, at least if Sanshiro Takagi is able to find one.

UNION “GOLDEN UNION 2012”, 04/05/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Union League Experiment: Madoka & Taichi Kazato Vs Masked Mystery & SAGAT

5. Hiro Tsumaki Return Match: Hiro Tsumaki & Kengo Ohka Vs Isami Kodaka & El Generico
6. BJW Tag Team Title: Yoshihito Sasaki & Shinobu (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa & Shigehiro Irie
7. DDT Extreme Title – Fluorescent Shop Death Match: Yuko Miyamoto (c) Vs Ken Ohka

Mio Shirai suffered a fractured nose during the week and will be unable to compete in the long awaited Age Contra Makeup match against Cherry. Emi Sakura will be coming in as her replacement. However, Mio will be attending the show and she will still be forced to remove her makeup if Emi loses the match to Cherry. If Emi wins, then Mio still gets the satisfaction of forcing Cherry to reveal her real age.

DDT’s promise to produce more shows throughout Japan will come to fruition with the Road To Budokan tour starting in April. So far there are six shows that are part of the tour.

The Triple Tails.S team of Kana & Mio Shirai have a nasty surprise ahead of them in Yokohama. Hikaru Sato & Michael Nakazawa, aka Do Hentai Dan will be waiting for them. Last time Nakazawa was in the ring with Kana he tried all he could to get his hands on her. Last time he was in the ring with Mio Shirai, she and her sister stripped him naked. So yeah, this match could get perverted real quickly.

2. KO-D Openweight Title: Masa Takanashi (c) Vs Yuji Hino

Masa Takanashi has a very difficult challenge ahead of him for his first defence of the KO-D Openweight Title. Yuji Hino has been unstoppable in his DDT run as part of the Crying Wolf stable. With a KO-D Tag Team Title run already under his belt, he is now looking to add the KO-D Championship to his list of accomplishments.

DDT “VILLAGE PRO WRESTLING ~BACK IN TIME TO EDO!~”, 26/05/2012
Noboribetsu Date Open Air Theater

1. Falls Count Anywhere Match: Kota Ibushi Vs Sanshiro Takagi Vs Tomoya Vs Michael Nakazawa

Noboribetsu Date is a village in Hokkaido that features a lot of samurai and ninja themed tourist spots. Even though the match will begin inside the local theatre, it will certainly break out to other parts of the village. Maybe it will wind up inside the cat templt, the ninja maze or the ghost house.
