*Miyu Yamashita becomes the 1,801st champion.
4. Max The Pompaler & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao & Chika Nanase when Max pinned Nanase with the Short-Range Lariat (8:10).
5. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi defeated Sara Phoenix & Kira Summer when Tatsumi pinned Summer with the Twist Of Fate (11:44).
6. Mizuki, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Ren Konatsu when Takami submitted Konatsu with the Koala Clutch (12:06).
7. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Yuki Arai, HIMAWARI & Toga when Nakajima pinned HIMAWARI with the Diving Senton (14:46).

Niigata’s own Shoko Nakajima led the ToJo Tokusatsu Club to victory despite the setback of failing to combine into one Megazord several times throughout the match. After picking up the win, Nakajima told everyone a story about the time she went to the Tokamachi Snow Festival as a child and she along with her siblings got to meet the heroes from Gekisou Sentai Carranger. She still keeps the group photo they took in her home back in Tokyo and it is something she treasures. She’s been worried about her family back here because of the heavy snowfall this year and wants to become a hero to be a source of inspiration for everyone to keep working harder. The ToJo Tokusatsu Club don’t borrow the power of heroes, they fight alongside them!

In a preview of this Saturday’s Max Heart Tournament final, Mizuki & Uta Takami got the better of Ober Eats in a 6-Woman Tag Match. Mizuki landed a Diving Cross Body onto Wakana Uehara and then helped Takami take down Yuki Kamifuku with a Dropkick. Ren Konatsu tried to beat Takami using different roll ups but Takami Dropkicked her as well and made Konatsu give up to the Koala Clutch. She later declared that a girl from the Hokuriku region has conquered the land of snow! Mizuki said she doesn’t normally believe in momentum but she can really feel there is a lot of it behind Takami. Shino Suzuki is also thrilled to have teamed with them again and be on the winning team today. Kamifuku encouraged Uehara by telling her the most important thing today is she worked hard. It’s all about being able to help each other, which was proven when Kamifuku forgot to bring her kneepads today and needed to borrow a pair from Shion Kanzaki. Uehara said she loved the warm atmosphere in the building today and she wants to bring it with her all the way to Korakuen Hall.

Before Pompaler made their entrance for Match #4, Hyper Misao got on the microphone to tell Chika Nanase what their gameplan will be. Misao admits Pompaler are too experienced of a tag team for a first time pairing to beat so she asked Super Sasadango Machine to give her some sasadango treats to distract Max The Impaler with. Then they could double team Pom Harajuku and throw her at Max for once. The plan didn’t work well enough. Max fell for the distraction but easily caught Harajuku when she was thrown at them. Max then threw Harajuku at the other team but they both dodged out of the way and Sasadango took the impact instead. Max went on to pin Nanase with the Short-Range Lariat and proceeded to take her scrunchie as a trophy.

An alliance between Raku and Mahiro Kiryu was unable to stop Miyu Yamashita from becoming the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. She hit Raku with the Return Crash then pinned Kiryu with the Skull Kick for the victory. Later after the show there was a fan event that featured the roster competing in different games. One of them was a challenge where several wrestlers all tried to pause a stopwatch at exactly the ten second mark. Whoever got the closest time would be the winner. Since Yamashita took part in it that meant the Iron Man Title was put on the line. The ring announcer Rise Shirai ended up winning the contest to become the new champion. Then later in the event everyone surprised Shion Kanzaki by giving her a cake for her birthday. While they were all celebrating, Kiryu attacked Shirai in front of everybody and used the stopwatch’s cord to choke her into submission. The referee called it a title change but decided the Stopwatch was now the champion! Kiryu then grabbed the Stopwatch, ran away to an empty room where only the referee could follow her and she pinned it to become the champion again.

Sasadango was at the event as the PR Ambassador for “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”. The last time he was at a TJPW show he gave some people challenges to help promote the Sumo Hall show. Today he was looking to get some updates along with giving out more marketing ideas for the roster to take part in. He heard about the ToJo Tokusatsu Club’s request to fight alongside the Super Sentai. He told them that CyberFight actually are working hard on trying to make a collaboration happen but it will be a challenge to make it a reality. So in the meantime he instructed the Club to take part in secret training to prepare for Sumo Hall. Sasadango then asked Tetsuya Koda if there was any progress in him finding a big celebrity to wrestle on the show. He had to remind Koda that this task is seperate from the Super Sentai one. That made Koda admit he’s made zero progress and he doesn’t know where to start. Sasadango told Koda if he can’t do this task then they might as well cancel “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” and nobody wants that to happen. According to Sasadango, if Koda looks hard enough he can find 20 people who are famous enough to fill Sumo Hall by themselves.

When Sasadango was done with catching up on the current challenges, he went to find Rika Tatsumi so he could give her one too. He approached Daydream after they won their tag match and asked Tatsumi what is her most unique quality? Tatsumi said she is a classic idol wrestler but Sasadango corrected her. Her best quality is her madness! Tatsumi refused to believe him but Sasadango brought up how she always strangles her opponents and he doesn’t understand why everyone in Tokyo Joshi Pro ignores it. His challenge to Tatsumi is to hone the insanity inside herself to help liven up Sumo Hall! Tatsumi needs to face the madness within herself but she doesn’t understand what Sasadango means by that. She isn’t a psychopath and she wants to prove it by shaking Sasadango’s hand. But as the handshake was happening, Sasadango encouraged her to try and strangle him. She wouldn’t so he simply told her to do her best and then left. Tatsumi doesn’t know what to do about this. Miu Watanabe however is looking forward to seeing what side of Tatsumi everyone will see at Sumo Hall, the classic idol wrestler or the psychopath?

DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 5 ~THE ONLY SAUNA IN THE WORLD~”, 14/02/2026

5. Ueno Nordic Presents Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Pokotan (w/ Chris Bathooks, Naya Tonttu & Sauna Stones・Den)
6. Special Single Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs To-y

A rib injury from over the weekend has taken Daichi Sato out of action for around at least a fortnight. He will miss the next three DDT shows which means he should be back sometime after 22nd February. Yuya Koroku replaces him on this show.

DDT “REMBRANDT HIGHWAY SERIES 2026 ~AYU COLISEUM IN ATSUGI~”, 15/02/2026
Kanagawa Rembrandt Hotel Atsugi Grand Banquet Sagami

1. Kazuki Hirata Vs Rukiya
2. Naomi Yoshimura & Yuni Vs Hideki Okatani & Ilusion

DDT “HYBRID PERFORMER 2026 ~KAISEI TAKECHI 2ND ANNIVERSARY~”, 22/02/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA, Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai Vs To-y, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Yuni
2. Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Yukio Naya Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Ryoma Tsukamoto

6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – Final: Kazuma Sumi Vs Takeshi Masada
7. Kaisei Takechi 2nd Anniversary Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Kaisei Takechi

In the short history of the D GENERATIONS CUP we may get its first two-time winner. Takeshi Masada has a chance to win it a second time after being the first ever winner back in 2023. However Kazuma Sumi is riding a wave of momentum going into the final and seems to have more locker room support than the recently gone loner Masada.

Sumi being in the final rips apart my theory that he is the new member of Strange Love Connection.

Ryoma Tsukamoto makes an unexpected appearance to fill in for Daichi Sato.

Finally all four members of FANTÔMES DRAMATIC are all teaming together.

The match order outside of the main event has not been decided yet.

“URANO EN 3”, 24/02/2025
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi

1. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Yasu Urano Vs Fuminori Abe
2. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Ilusion
3. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Fuminori Abe Vs Ayato Yoshida
4. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Yasu Urano Vs Ilusion
5. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Ayato Yoshida
6. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Fuminori Abe Vs Ilusion
7. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Yasu Urano Vs Ayato Yoshida
8. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Fuminori Abe
9. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ayato Yoshida Vs Ilusion
10. Extreme Five Warriors Iron Man Tournament: Ikuto Hidaka Vs Yasu Urano

Something extra BASARA related with a little bit of DDT there too. Yasu Urano is putting together a one day Round Robin tournament between himself, Ikuto Hidaka, Ayato Yoshida, Fuminori Abe and Ilusion. Urano chose that lineup because he wanted two wrestlers in their 50s, two in their 30s and one in his 20s. But here’s the catch. Every match is an Iron Man match, ten in total!

DDT “KO KO! YOKOHAMA BATTLE 2026”, 28/02/2026
Kanagawa Radiant Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Yuki Ishida

The aftermath of the DGC group stages left To-y in bad humour because Yuki Ishida was partially responsible for him failing to win the A Block. That then led to To-y bringing up the time Ishida got drunk on a night out and To-y had to pay his tab of 40,000 yen. He figured out a DDT Extreme Title match between the two can settle the matter. If To-y wins then not only does he defend his championship but Ishida will have to pay him back the 40,000 yen!

GANBARE☆PRO “KINKI CHIHO NO ARU BASHO NI TSUITE 2026”, 01/03/2026

DGC Final Up For Grabs, Sasadango’s Sumo Hall Check Up, Pokotan Gets Some Sauna Friends

February 6, 2026

DDT “IMAIKE SAMBA 2026”, 07/02/2026
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. Takeshi Masada & Hinata Kasai Vs Yuya Koroku & Yuni
2. Special Single Match: KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Antonio Honda
3. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul Vs Jun Akiyama, Akito & Junta Miyawaki
4. Imaike Rumble 2026: Yuki Ueno Vs MAO Vs HARASHIMA Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Chris Brookes Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Naomi Yoshimura Vs Yukio Naya Vs Ilusion Vs Pokotan
5. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: To-y (3) Vs Daichi Sato (4)
6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: Yuki Ishida (3) Vs Kazuma Sumi (4)

The last matchdays for the D GENERATIONS CUP have several wrestlers still in the running to reach the final. In the A Block Kazuma Sumi just needs to win his match to win the group. Daichi Sato can get there if he wins and Sumi doesn’t. To-y and Yuki Ishida both need to win and even then that will result in a sudden death playoff between the two because they tied against each other earlier in the tournament.

DDT “IMAIKE FIGHT FEVER 2026”, 08/02/2026
Aichi Imaike Gas Hall

1. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Rukiya (4) Vs Hinata Kasai (0)
2. HARASHIMA & Yuni Vs Hideki Okatani & Ilusion
3. Danshoku Dieno & Kazuma Sumi Vs Akito & Kazuki Hirata
4. Jun Akiyama, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida Vs Yukio Naya, Junta Miyawaki & Daichi Sato
5. Special 4-Way Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
6. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – B Block: Takeshi Masada (4) Vs Yuya Koroku (6)

In the B Block we may see Yuya Koroku finish his run with a perfect record of four wins. But if Takeshi Masada can beat him then he will squeak by last year’s champion. However Rukiya can match the total score in that scenario if he beats Hinata Kasai which will then result in a three way tie where Koroku beat Rukiya, Rukiya beat Masada and Masada beat Koroku.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SHOKO NAKAJIMA NIIGATA HOMECOMING – SHOKO QUEST IV: THOSE GUIDED BY THE SNOW COUNTRY”, 11/02/2026
Niigata Dúo CEREZO

1. 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Raku Vs Mahiro Kiryu
2. Arisu Endo Vs Shion Kanzaki
3. Suzume Vs Mifu Ashida
4. Max The Pompaler & Pom Harajuku Vs Hyper Misao & Chika Nanase
5. Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi Vs Sara Phoenix & Kira Summer
6. Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Ren Konatsu V Mizuki, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami
7. Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs Yuki Arai, HIMAWARI & Toga

The “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” PR Ambassador Super Sasadango Machine will be visiting the show, presumably to get updates on all of the ideas he gave others to promote the Sumo Hall show. There are currently four requests he has given people. Shino Suzuki is tasked with challenging influencers with over 100,000 followers to games of rock paper scissors until she beats three of them. The GM Tetsuya Koda was told to go find a big guest famous enough to sell out Sumo Hall and get them to make their pro wrestling debut. The mascot Minimo-chan was told to master its special moves through intensive training. Finally Sanshiro Takagi was instructed to scout a new idol to turn into a pro wrestler.

DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 5 ~THE ONLY SAUNA IN THE WORLD~”, 14/02/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Young Boy Akito Nishigaki Shinjuku FACE Debut Match: Young Boy Akito Nishigaki Vs Rukiya
2. Shinya Aoki Vs Hinata Kasai
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Brahman Shu, Brahman Kei & Brahman Sasaki Vs Daichi Sato, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Shin KONOSUKE TAKESHITA, MAO & Takeshi Masada Vs Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Koju Takeda
5. Ueno Nordic Presents Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Pokotan (w/ Chris Bathooks, Naya Tonttu & Sauna Stones・Den)
6. Special Single Match: Minoru Suzuki Vs To-y

Pokotan will not be alone when it fights Yuki Ueno. It will be accompanied by three sauna themed versions of DDT wrestlers. Naya Tonttu has appeared on these sauna wrestling shows before. Chris Bathooks and Sauna Stones・Den both have pun names that apply to saunas somehow but I don’t have the knowledge with that hobby to figure out what they are.

GANBARE☆PRO “A SCANNER DARKLY 2026”, 22/02/2026
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Sentaro Motoshima Vs Reiya Igarashi

5. Shuichiro Katsumura, Yuya Susumu & YuuRI Vs Yuna Manase, Akira Shoji & Tyson Maeguchi
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Mizuki Watase

How is it that Moeka Haruhi keeps getting put with oddball opponents? She now has to face Papillon Akemi and a Colega Pro/Land’s End gimmick called Hora-chan in a 3 Way Match.

7. D GENERATIONS CUP 2026 – A Block: Daichi Sato (4) Vs Kazuma Sumi (2)

The 6-Man Tag Match has a little change to it because Rukiya has fallen ill and won’t be able to wrestle tomorrow. Tomomitsu Matsunaga will take his place.

He and Mr. Malo have Chie Koishikawa around to help them deal with Dark King Ueki, Princess Ram and whoever the third enemy will be.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SHOKO NAKAJIMA VERSION3 ~NIIGATA HOMECOMING EVENT~” Results

August 18, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SHOKO NAKAJIMA VERSION3 ~NIIGATA HOMECOMING EVENT~”, 18/08/2024
Niigata Dúo CEREZO
222 Fans

1. Arisu Endo defeated Chika Nanase with the Camel Clutch (6:30).
2. Moka Miyamoto defeated Kira Summer with the Rashomon (6:36).
3. Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Mizuki & Uta Takami when Raku submitted Takami with the Front Neck Lock (9:16).
4. Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Kaya Toribami defeated Yuki Aino, Runa Okubo & Haru Kazashiro when Kamifuku pinned Kazashiro with the Famouser (11:42).
5. Zara Zakher, Wakana Uehara & HIMAWARI defeated Rika Tatsumi, Toga & Shino Suzuki when Zakher pinned Suzuki with the Control Z (13:05).
6. Miyu Yamashita & Shoko Nakajima 11th Anniversary Special Tag Match: Shoko Nakajima & Miyu Yamashita defeated Miu Watanabe & Suzume when Yamashita pinned Suzume with the Skull Kick (15:33).

Eleven years of Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima. Neither of them are stopping yet! Nakajima’s home of Niigata played host to the pair’s anniversary match as they took on two champions Miu Watanabe & Suzume. Yamashita avoided the Ring A Bell and threw away Suzume with a German Suplex. Nakajima took out Watanabe with a dive out of the ring. That left Yamashita to finish off Suzume with a High Kick followed by the Skull Kick. The finish happened right in front of Arisu Endo who was standing in Suzume’s corner at ringside. Because of that result, Yamashita wants a Princess Tag Team Titles shot for herself and Maki Itoh. Both Suzume & Endo accepted the challenge and agreed they cannot lose. It’s going to be Daisy Monkey Vs 121000000 for the tag titles at “WRESTLE PRINCESS V” on 22nd September!

Nakajima said she is happy the anniversary match was able to happen in her home region. These days she can only go home to Niigata for wrestling matches or to celebrate the new year. She still loves where she grew up and her heart always feels at peace there. She and Yamashita promise to continue working hard at promoting pro wrestling around the world and competing with each other to win championships. She warned Daisy Monkey not to underestimate Itoh’s vitality. She may be out of action with a broken hand right now but Nakajima knows better than anyone how determined Itoh is to wrestle and win. Yamashita predicted Nakajima will win the Battle Of The Best tournament in DPW that she is currently competing in.

Mizuki & Uta Takami came up with the idea to pull the shoes off their opponent’s feet, run away into the crowd with them and then throw them away. Pom Harajuku got the shoes back and even tried to attack Mizuki with one of them in hand. Mizuki grabbed the shoe away from her and wanted to use it as a weapon too but then Raku grabbed it off her. Raku then ended up submitting Takami with the Front Neck Lock.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SHOKO NAKAJIMA VERSION3 ~NIIGATA HOMECOMING EVENT~”, 18/08/2024
Niigata Dúo CEREZO

6. Miyu Yamashita & Shoko Nakajima 11th Anniversary Special Tag Match: Miu Watanabe & Suzume Vs Miyu Yamashita & Shoko Nakajima

The reason why Zara Zakher, Wakana Uehara & HIMAWARI are on the same team is because they all had their professional debut matches in January 2023. HIMAWARI actually debuted in Actwres girl’Z a few months earlier but that company doesn’t like to call themselves pro wrestling and everyone over there likes to keep that kayfabe going. Meanwhile in another match Yuki Aino teams with the young duo that are nicknamed HaruRuna.

Session Moth Martina and Raku get to meet for drinks again and have a rematch of their “GCW VS TJPW” bout from back in April. Just don’t tell Raku about the DART, Martina. It will only traumatize her.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shoko Nakajima Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa
2. Mizuki & Haru Kazashiro Vs Mei Suruga & Uta Takami
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: X Vs X

When that is done it’s back to Japan for the Princess Cup final. It all comes down to Yuki Aino, Yuki Arai, Ryo Mizunami and Zara Zakher.

When Mei Suruga and Uta Takami had their match last month they got along like sisters. Suggestions that they team up together as The Super Cute Sisters were made and you don’t have to wait long to see it happen.

Yoshiko Hasegawa returns to TJPW for a match against Shoko Nakajima.

6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kota Ibushi, Danshoku Dieno & Akito Vs Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

Today Tokyo Sports reported on a training session Shinya Aoki held with El Lindaman from GLEAT. Aoki lost his temper during the interview because he isn’t happy about DDT booking Kota Ibushi’s return to the company on the undercard. He believes that is a clear sign from Sanshiro Takagi that the main event is too weak of a draw by itself. Aoki is also annoyed that Yuki Ueno doesn’t seem to be angry about it like he is. Another comment Aoki made is his plan to have a unification match if he becomes the KO-D Openweight Champion. He wants to unify the title with GLEAT’s UWF World Title. Lindaman will be one of the upcoming challengers for the title that is currently held by Katsuhiko Nakajima. Aoki even offered to be in Lindaman’s corner when the title match happens but Lindaman politely declined because Aoki hanging around over there will only cause trouble.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2024 IN SHINJUKU – DAY 2”, 30/08/2024

The terrifying ghost stories Hisaya Imabayashi likes to tell are coming back to the Beer Garden show. What tales of terror will he come up with this time?

DDT “WEDDING VENUE PRO WRESTLING SUMMER FESTIVAL IN SENTIR LA SAISON GIFU”, 31/08/2024
Gifu Sentir la Saison

1. Daisuke Sasaki & KANON Vs Soma Takao & Ilusion
2. 3 Way Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuki Iino Vs To-y
3. Jun Akiyama & Yukio Naya Vs Tetsuya Endo & Keigo Nakamura
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Kazuma Sumi

I wonder if the four matches can count towards the marriage traditions of including something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue? I’d look into it myself but calling Jun Akiyama old will already set me off on the wrong foot. Can’t even include the blue Right To Challenge Shield because HARASHIMA has that and he’s wrestling on the later show.

DDT “WEDDING ROJO PRO WRESTLING”, 31/08/2024
Gifu Sentir la Saison

1. Falls Count Anywhere Match: HARASHIMA & Akito Vs Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi

It will be up to HARASHIMA & Akito to keepDieno & Makoto Oishi under control while they all wrestle each other at a wedding.

DDT “PRO WRESTLING WINTER FESTIVAL 2024 IN JOETSU DAY 2” Results

February 18, 2024

DDT “PRO WRESTLING WINTER FESTIVAL 2024 IN JOETSU DAY 2 – INTO THE FIGHT 2024 TOUR IN NIIGATA”, 18/02/2024
Niigata Dúo CEREZO
230 Fans

1. Toru Owashi defeated Kazuma Sumi with the Nodowa Otoshi (6:49).
2. To-y defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Kojima In Wonderland ~KOJIMA Wonderland~ (9:17).
3. Daisuke Sasaki & KANON defeated Yuki Iino & Rukiya when KANON submitted Rukiya with the Just Cobra Twist (12:02).
4. Special Tag Match: Jun Akiyama & Yoshitatsu defeated Tetsuya Endo & Makoto Oishi when Akiyama submitted Oishi with the Modified Sternness Dust α (12:19).
5. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Super Sasadango Machine ended in a Draw when both of them fell asleep (15:34).
6. HARASHIMA & Akito defeated Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada when HARASHIMA pinned Masada with the Somato (10:38).
7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Naya & Hideki Okatani when Katsumata pinned Okatani after the Oretachi no Mad Max (16:18).

The champions from The 37KAMIINA continue to rack up the wins. This time it was Shunma Katsumata getting the pinfall over Hideki Okatani before their DDT Extreme Title match next month. He blocked the Quetzalcoatl and then with MAO’s teamwork hit the Oretachi no Mad Max to win. He then rubbed salt in the wounds after the match by asking why Katsumata quickly left the ring without saying anything?

Both Yuki Ueno and HARASHIMA are feeling good while preparing for the KO-D Openweight Title match. Ueno is confident he will still be champion the next time DDT comes to Niigata and he would like to have a title defence here. HARASHIMA believes he is doing just as well as Ueno is and will spend the nex month improving his condition.

Danshoku Dieno went into the show still feeling tired from his KO-D Title match from a few days ago. Super Sasadango Machine felt concerned for his friend and wanted him to rest so he came up with the idea of doing a Recovery Death Match. He would intentionally wrestle in a way that would make Dieno relax like using massaging techniques instead of submission holds. He also gave Dieno the Vertical Drop Lehmann Shock onto a pillow. Then Sasadango put him in a Sleeper Hold and encouraged the fans to count sheep until Dieno fell asleep. However there was a setback when the counting made Sasadango feel tired too. By this point there was a quilt and futon in the ring that Dieno and Sasadango both used to take a nap. Neither of them woke up so the match was ruled a draw. The two of them continued sleeping in the ring through intermission.

To-y demanded to have a serious match with Kazuki Hirata. That went away once the Hirata GO! Glasses were brought out. To-y eventually gave in and put on a pair in order to beat Hirata.

During the weekend doubleshot both DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro held fan events after their wrestling shows. Yesterday’s TJPW event had several of their wrestlers attend it wearing wedding dresses as a selling point. In response to that, a few of the DDT wrestlers showed up at their event wearing wedding suits. Takeshi Masada however wore a wedding dress.


Niigata Weekend, Aoki Joins Hirata’s New Unit, Ueno Challenged By HARASHIMA

February 16, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “PRO WRESTLING WINTER FESTIVAL 2024 IN JOETSU DAY 1 – SHOKO NAKAJIMA IS BACK ~ NIIGATA HOMECOMING PERFORMANCE”, 17/02/2024
Niigata Dúo CEREZO

7. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Miu Watanabe & Moka Miyamoto

Both DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro are doing a doubleshot in Niigata this weekend. TJPW goes first with Shoko Nakajima’s homecoming show. Fans are permitted to throw streamers into the ring for the entrances in the main event.

There is a small but notable update put out today about Hikari Noa. She is still taking time away from pro wrestling as well as her idol career with The Up Up Girls but now it is because of personal reasons rather than health reasons. The only clue towards how long this will last comes from The Up Up Girls’ talent agency. They announced Noa will not be at their next big concert being held on 20th March. It’s been obvious her absence is not because of injury or other physical health reasons. There are rumours online about a personal situation with a female fan has allegedly gotten Noa into trouble. But we don’t know for sure if what’s happening here is a secret suspension or something else entirely. We just have to wait a while to see what will happen next.

DDT “PRO WRESTLING WINTER FESTIVAL 2024 IN JOETSU DAY 2 – INTO THE FIGHT 2024 TOUR IN NIIGATA”, 18/02/2024

6. Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs HARASHIMA & Akito
7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Naya & Hideki Okatani

DDT’s show in Niigata the next day is Super Sasadango Machine’s homecoming but he’s not as important so just drop his match there in the mid-card.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2024”, 25/02/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Antonio Honda Vs Yuki Iino, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi
2. Daisuke Sasaki & KANON (w/ MJ Paul) Vs Akito & Soma Takao
3. Kazusada Higuchi & Yoshitatsu Vs Yukio Naya & Rukiya
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno, Makoto Oishi & Toru Owashi Vs Kazuki Hirata, Naruki Doi & Shinya Aoki
5. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA Vs To-y
6. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Hikaru Machida
7. Kaisei Takechi Debut Match ~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & Kaisei Takechi Vs Tetsuya Endo, Hideki Okatani & Takeshi Masada

Kazuki Hirata has found the third man of his new unit. It is somebody he developed a bond with when they fought each other in an “All Men Are Equal” death match in 2021. It is Shinya Aoki! The choice makes sense because Hirata connected with Naruki Doi under similar circumstances. Does that mean Doi and Aoki will both show up to the match dressed like and acting like Hirata?

DDT “NARAHA TOWN RESIDENT WRESTLER TOY KOJIMA THANKSGIVING DAY – NARAHA TOWN COME ON!”, 03/03/2024
Fukushima Naraha Sky Arena

1. Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino Vs Kazuki Hirata & Hideki Okatani

During the week Toy Kojima renamed himself To-y. That is supposed to be a permanent change but one condition has since been revealed. From now until the end of the current fiscal year (i.e. the end of March) To-y will still be called Toy Kojima whenever he is in his hometown of Naraha. Once that is done he will get to be called To-y wherever he goes.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2024 TOUR IN OSAKA”, 10/03/2024
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall

1. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Tsutenkakka
2. Osaka Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Naoki Tanizaki & Rukiya Vs Yoshitatsu, Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
3. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata Vs HARASHIMA & Hideki Okatani

The Toyonaka Team of Sanshiro Takagi & Rukiya adds a new member. Naoki Tanizaki is from the same part of Osaka as they are so he gets to join the team.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2024 ~27TH ANNIVERSARY 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 17/03/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Tsubasa Suzuki Debut Match: Tsubasa Suzuki Vs X
2. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Ken Ohka
3. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Yuma Aoyagi
4. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino (c) Vs Ryuki Honda & Yuma Anzai
5. DDT Extreme Title: Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Hideki Okatani
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs HARASHIMA

Yuki Ueno has just defeated DDT’s icon Danshoku Dieno and now HARASHIMA is stepping up to challenge him. When HARASHIMA fought Yukio Sakaguchi in Sakaguchi’s final match, it sparked a fire inside him and reminded him that he is the undisputed ace of DDT. So if he is the ace then that means he should be good enough to win the KO-D Openweight Title again. While Ueno respects and admires HARASHIMA, he isn’t going to treat this match like a wide-eyed boy getting to be in the ring with his hero. He wants to become DDT’s ace himself!

The show will also have the return of Yuya Koroku. He’s been out of action with a torn triceps since November.

NOAH “THE LEAVE PRESENTS LIMIT BREAK EX.”, 20/03/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall

A few days after this show a bunch of DDT wrestlers will be crossing over to NOAH. The other CyberFight men’s promotion debuted a new event series this week called “LIMIT BREAK”. During the show Tetsuya Endo, Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Iino and Rukiya showed up and announced they will be taking part on the second “LIMIT BREAK” show on 20th March. Higuchi mentioned Kazuyuki Fujita by name as a NOAH wrestler he would like to face.


More DDT Vs AJPW, Ohka Must Fight Takagi, GanPro’s Last Matches Under CyberFight

February 9, 2024

Heads up, my home internet hasn’t been working all week and I don’t know how long it will take for the problem to be fixed. I’ve been using my phone as a hotspot to write up reports in the meantime but it’s been a slow and unreliable experience. So there might be more delays posting results and other news over the next few days.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO SUPER DARIUS ’24”, 09/03/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Mixed Tag Match: Riara & Shota Vs Alex Lee & Tyson Maeguchi

For now this is the last regular Ganbare☆Joshi show on the schedule. Both Riara & Shota will be leaving Ganbare☆Pro soon so this may be the only time they will team together. During the week Riara made her debut for WAVE so there is one possible landing spot for her when she moves on from GanPro.

Banny Oikawa will be on the show.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2024 ~27TH ANNIVERSARY 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 17/03/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Tsubasa Suzuki Debut Match: Tsubasa Suzuki Vs X
2. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Ken Ohka
3. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Yuma Aoyagi
4. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino (c) Vs Ryuki Honda & Yuma Anzai
5. DDT Extreme Title: Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Hideki Okatani
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs X

The last time Shunma Katsumata and Hideki Okatani fought for the Extreme Title, Katsumata won the match but also fractured a bone in his foot. That forced him to vacate the title. Ever since then both he and Okatani dreamed of having a rematch with the same championship on the line. That has now become a reality after Okatani became the No. 1 Contender this week. Katsumata said he will come up with a match stipulation that both of them will approve of.

Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino are the new KO-D Tag Team Champions and want to defend the belts against anyone no matter where they come from. Well here comes Ryuki Honda & Yuma Anzai from AJPW! They had fun wrestling in DDT earlier this week that they want to fight in DDT even more and against stronger opponents. Endo & Iino promised to show them just how much depth DDT has.

Before GanPro goes independent, Ken Ohka must fight his soon to be ex-boss Sanshiro Takagi! Ohka feels the need to face Takagi and defeat him in the first step towards making GanPro grow bigger than DDT. For Takagi this is the biggest test he can give Ohka to see if he will handle his upcoming responsibilities with all of his effort. If Ohka does this half-heartedly then Takagi will destroy him and that could mean DDT will destroy GanPro too!

GANBARE☆PRO “TONIGHT ON THE HILL WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE MOON 2024”, 28/03/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Ueno Special 6-Man Tag Festival: Yuko Miyamoto, Isami Kodaka & Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Shota, Soma Takao & Shinichiro Tominaga

The final GanPro show under CyberFight’s management is inviting Yuko Miyamoto and Isami Kodaka over for fun. It’s been established that Munetatsu Nakamura adores both Miyamoto & Kodaka so getting a chance to team with Yankee Two Kenju must be a dream come true for him.

Yesterday Hideki Okatani put out a message asking for his match against MJ Paul to be turned into a Hardcore Match. Paul sent a letter via courier to the DDT office that was simply a large, bloody “OK” smeared on the page. Challenge accepted.

There will be contract signings for the upcoming KO-D Openweight Title and DDT Universal Title matches held before this show begins.

DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 3 ~TOTONOI TO YOU~”, 14/02/2024

A conflict has suddenly broken out between the DDT Sauna Club and the DDT Open Bath Club. Although Kazuki Hirata declined to join The 37KAMIINA, he still gets to participate in the Sauna Club away from matches. While heading out to a riverbed one day Hirata confronted Kazusada Higuchi & Makoto Oishi from the Open Bath Club and an argument broke out between them. Hirata found himself outnumbered when all of a sudden somebody who looked like Yukio Naya showed up to protect him. That being is Naya Tonttu, the mythical guardian of the DDT Sauna Club! Hirata convinced him to team up against the Open Bath Club at The 37KAMIINA’s sold out show next week.

A first time singles match between Miyu Yamashita and Wakana Uehara is on the show. Zara Zakher also continues her tour with a match against Rika Tatsumi.

7. Kaisei Takechi Debut Match ~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & Kaisei Takechi Vs Tetsuya Endo, Hideki Okatani & Takeshi Masada

Kaisei Takechi is responsible for selling out the show so no question he gets the main event slot.

So it looks like Hirata got Naruki Doi on board to join his new unit. He isn’t the only one though because Hirata is teasing another addition will be revealed at Korakuen Hall. Is he going for something Dragon System flavored as the unit’s theme I wonder?
