1. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Round 1A: Toga Vs HIMAWARI

One of last year’s finalists opens up the tournament this time around. HIMAWARI is nervous but fired herself back up after Toga said she can only see herself winning this match. Toga also said the tournament feels fresher this year because of the inclusion of the 2024 Class.

1. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Round 1B: Shino Suzuki Vs Kira Summer

The announcement of this year’s tournament is bittersweet for Shino Suzuki because it reminds her that she watched last year’s final from ringside. It will be her first time wrestling somebody from the 2024 Class in a singles match and she is certain she has skills that Kira Summer does not have. Summer agrees that she is lacking in experience but believes in her own strength that she can win.

1. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Round 1C: Haru Kazashiro Vs Uta Takami

Just like Suzuki, Haru Kazashiro does not want to be standing in the sidelines watching the final again. She is determined not to lose in the 1st Round again and the reveal that the tournament winner gets a title shot is motivating her even more. Uta Takami is excited to enter her first tournament. It also makes her happy that her first opponent is Kazashiro and the match will be at Ryogoku KFC Hall because she loves both of them. She also said she is good at Rock-Paper-Scissors and that’s a good thing because luck might be a factor in who goes through.

1. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Round 1D: Wakana Uehara Vs Chika Nanase

Round 1 closes out with last year’s winner Wakana Uehara aiming to go two in a row. She wrestled Chika Nanase in a singles match back in June and sensed she has a hidden power, so she can be a threat. Nanase felt scared of this match at first but realised how big of an opportunity it is. You never know what will happen in pro wrestling so Nanase made it her goal to beat Uehara and knock her out of the tournament!

1. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Semi Final: Winner Of Match 1A Vs Winner Of Match 1B
2. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Semi Final: Winner Of Match 1C Vs Winner Of Match 1D

The first semi-final will be the winner of Toga/HIMAWARI against the winner of Suzuki/Summer. The second semi-final is the winner of Kazashiro/Takami against the winner of Uehara/Nanase. We could get a rematch from last year’s tournament depending on how the results go. HIMAWARI Vs Suzuki perhaps?

1. Next Generation Tournament ’24 – Final: X Vs X

The final will determine who will be the next challenger for one of the Princess Championships. Uehara and HIMAWARI could meet each other in the final again for the second year in a row. What if Toga gets a chance at revenge on Uehara or maybe even Kazashiro settles the score with HIMAWARI?

Place Of Unknown Origin: MJ Paul, Ilusion

On the week when Takeshi Masada celebrates two years of being a pro wrestler, today he needed to get something to show for it. He and Chris Brookes were originally meant to face Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino in a non-title match that was only put together to celebrate Masada’s anniversary in his hometown. But the KO-D Tag Team Champions were confident enough to put their championship on the line to make an example of Masada and his recent slump in performance. Big mistake! Brookes & Masada brought the fight to BURNING and it ended up with Brookes putting Endo in the Octopus Stretch and Masada grabbing Iino in the same move to stop him from breaking it up. Endo reached his limit and gave up, making the SCHADENFREUDE International duo the new tag champs!

Brookes described his opponents as being strong and they are welcome to fight them again anytime. Masada brought up all the criticism other wrestlers had been saying about him. If he was missing something then the KO-D Tag Titles are the signpost that will point him towards what he is looking for! Masada is not going to be the second coming of Konosuke Takeshita like people thought he would but he will lead the way as the future of DDT! Endo took fault for losing the match. He admits they lost not because of teamwork but because he gave up. He remembers when a DDT veteran entrusted the company to him eight years ago but he isn’t ready to do the same for Masada right now. Iino thinks they have no choice but to shift gears.

Throughout the show there was a team challenge pitting wrestlers from the west side of Japan against those from the east side. The score was tied 3-3 when it came down to the last match. The west’s captain Yuki Ueno instantly defeated the east’s captain Kazuki Hirata but they agreed to restart the match because they couldn’t let the competition end like that. Hirata & HARASHIMA had some extra help from Yoshihiko in the rematch. That lasted until Jun Akiyama grabbed Yoshihiko and attacked the other team with the doll. Ueno then pinned Hirata again to confirm victory for the Western Army.

The DDT Extreme Title was on the line with a bonus rule involving the pin count. You could win the match with a three count as normal but every 1 count and 2 count gets added up. If a wrestler’s total pin count reached 37 (“sauna”) then they would automatically win the match that way. Shunma Katsumata and Kohei Kinoshita went back and forth leading them both to 36 points. Katsumata was able to roll up Kinoshita to grab the match winning 37th count. He wants to have another match with Kinoshita because neither of them have gotten a 3 count on each other yet. Katsumata discovered that winning the match with a 1 count pin doesn’t feel right. If they can’t have a rematch for the title he still wants to be in the ring with him in either DDT or Dove Pro. They can even be teammates instead of opponents next time.

The Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Shields have become active and there was movement right from the start. Yuya Koroku submitted Kazuma Sumi in the opening match, taking his Shield away from him. That has to really bother Sumi because he wanted to cash in his title shot as soon as possible. Koroku told reporters he already knows what he wants to do with the Shield and will use it when the time is right.

When Ueno’s match was over KANON entered the ring to taunt him with his RTC Shield. However he wasn’t going to use it because Ueno isn’t at his worst and most worn out state yet. Keigo Nakamura and Yuya Koroku also walked out to tease cashing in but neither would do it. Finally, Antonio Honda rushed into the ring with his Shield but tripped over the ropes and decided not to cash in because he was now injured

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP” Results

August 10, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 10/08/2024
Osaka Edion Arena #2
370 Fans

1. Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami defeated Arisu Endo & Chika Nanase when Miyamoto submitted Nanase with the Rashomon (7:40).
2. 3 Way Match: Pom Harajuku defeated Mahiro Kiryu and Runa Okubo when Harajuku pinned Okubo with a Roll Up (6:08).
3. Miu Watanabe, Raku, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami defeated Shoko Nakajima, Wakana Uehara, Haru Kazashiro & Kira Summer when Raku pinned Kazashiro with the Doctor Yellow (12:58).
4. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Masha Slamovich & Toga when Itoh submitted Toga with the Itoh Deluxe (11:35).
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Zara Zakher defeated Mizuki with the Control Z (9:46).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Yuki Aino defeated Yuki Kamifuku with the UBV (9:07).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Yuki Arai defeated Suzume with the Finally (11:10).
8. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Ryo Mizunami defeated Rika Tatsumi with the HOT LIMIT (12:33).

Bet this wasn’t the final four you had in mind when you first looked at the Tokyo Princess Cup brackets. Only one person from last year’s semi finals has made it back to the same point and two of the three new faces joining her are outsiders. Ryo Mizunami is the most experienced of them all though, by a wide margin. Rika Tatsumi tried hiding out in the audience so she could lure Mizunami into an ambush. The plan did not cause much damage though. Tatsumi then tried to tough it out and dared Mizunami to Chop her. That ended the way you’d think it would so Tatsumi had to choke her opponent and fight back with Hip Attacks. Mizunami fought her way out of the Dragon Sleeper though, using her power to give Tatsumi the HOT LIMIT for the pinfall.

Mizunami said she never expected Tatsumi to be so scary in the ring and she praised her for her tenacity. Just like the fans, Mizunami is getting addicted to Tokyo Joshi Pro one step at a time. Tatsumi was frustrated with the loss because Mizunami was even more powerful than she thought. There is a power and energy to her that is almost invisible and it really shook Tatsumi’s soul today. Her summer is over but that just means autumn and winter are coming up. She is going to have a think about what new goals she wants to make.

Yuki Arai has made it back to the semi final for the second year in a row. The International Princess Champion got here by beating Suzume, one half of the Princess Tag Team Champions. She blocked the Ring A Bell and countered it into a Full Nelson Buster. Suzume dodged the Finally to roll her up for a nearfall. But Arai got her momentum back and hit the Finally to pin her opponent. Arai asked for a handshake after the match and Suzume hugged her instead. The two have fought each other a lot but mainly in tag matches so Arai is happy to win today. She will do her best to make it to the final. Suzume may have lost but she assures everyone she hasn’t burned out yet. After all, hornets are at their most aggressive from summer to autumn.

Do you know who is burning bright? Yuki Aino! She eliminated last year’s finalist Yuki Kamifuku to book her place in the final four. The Shoulder Blocks were scouted in advance but so too was the Famouser. Kamifuku kept going for the move but ended up getting caught in the Venus DDT. Aino then finished her off with the UBV. She couldn’t be happier or more excited to beat Kamifuku and reach the Princess Cup semi final for the first time ever. She knows it is going to be tough but she wants to make it to the final so she can headline Korakuen Hall! Kamifuku admitted she may have let her guard down because up until recently Aino was more concerned about having fun. But she’s gotten to know herself better. It turns out Kamifuku actually wants to win tournaments even though she hates competing in them.

Perhaps the Cinderella of the tournament isn’t Aino but in fact Zara Zakher? After taking out Miu Watanabe in Round 2 she has now eliminated Mizuki from the tournament in the Quarter Final! Even after Mizuki did her big dive out of the ring, used an Avalanche Cutie Special and also held onto the Face Lock for as long as she could it just wasn’t in the cards for her today. Zakher knocked her down with Lariats and pinned her with the Control Z. Mizuki took the loss in good grace though and gave Zakher a hug afterwards. With that, we have our final four.

After the show was over the four semi-finalists went through the draw to determine who will face who in the next round. We’re getting Yuki Arai Vs Ryo Mizunami and Yuki Aino Vs Zara Zakher on 23rd August. Mizunami thinks Arai is a gutsy fighter and it will make Mizunami’s summer to beat her. Arai has fought Mizunami before and was overwhelmed by her. She is going to go at her own pace and used everything she has learned up until now so she can become number one. Zakher wants to show everyone just how powerful she can get. Aino remembers teaming with her in America back in April. She is also studying her wins against Watanabe and Mizuki to learn how to beat her. She isn’t going to get eaten by this dark horse. Aino is going her eat her instead!

Masha Slamovich returned to TJPW to get back in the ring with both Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh. She had Toga teaming with her for it too. The teamwork of 121000000 was too much though. They caught Slamovich & Toga in the High Knee/Headbutt Sandwich and Itoh then made Toga submit to the Itoh Deluxe. After the match backstage Yamashita wanted to talk about her experiences with wrestling Slamovich but Itoh interrupted her to announce 121000000 want to become Princess Tag Champions again! They have spent time away from each other even when they are both in America. Yet whenever they have teamed up this year they win their tag matches. They even beat Daydream in America during Wrestlemania Week. Itoh would have wanted to get a title shot right after that happened but she thinks now is the perfect time for 121000000 to challenge Daisy Monkey for the belts.

Place Of Unknown Origin: MJ Paul, Ilusion

It’s time for Takeshi Masada to put up or shut up. He and Chris Brookes can become KO-D Tag Team Champions together if they can beat BURNING in the main event.

To clear up the rules for the DDT Extreme Title match, it can still be won by a traditional three count pinfall. One count and two count kickouts will be added up until either Shunma Katsumata or Kohei Kinoshita reach a total of 37 points. But if one of them gets a regular three count pin, they win the match then and there.

From tomorrow onwards the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Shields will become active. The current holders are HARASHIMA (Blue), Antonio Honda (Red), KANON (Black), Keigo Nakamura (Sky Blue) and Kazuma Sumi (White).

DDT/GCW “NEVER ENDING NOISY SUMMER”, 12/08/2024

7. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Alex Zayne

If MAO defeats Alex Zayne tomorrow it will be the tenth successful DDT Universal Title defence for him. A title reign in DDT reaching a double digit amount of successful defences is really rare. It has only happened once with the KO-D Openweight Title (Konosuke Takeshita in 2017-2018), once with the Extreme Title (Sanshiro Takagi in 2020-2021) and once with the KO-D Tag Titles (Takagi & Munenori Sawa in 2010). MAO can add the Universal Title to that sort of history on Monday.

Place Of Unknown Origin: MJ Paul, Ilusion

It wasn’t possible for DDT to bring Shunma Katsumata and Kohei Kinoshita together to sign the contract for their DDT Extreme Title match so a remote press conference was held for them yesterday. Katsumata decided the rules for the match is they will score a point for every second they pin their opponent for. The first wrestler to reach 37 points in total will be the winner and champion. The reason why Katsumata chose 37 as the target number is because 37 means “sauna” and he heard Kinoshita also likes saunas.

Kinoshita said he wanted to wrestle in DDT for years but it was always difficult to get bookings because he lives in Kansai. He is excited to wrestle for a title and will use this match as a chance to expand his horizons. Katsumata had wanted to do a singles match with him ever since they fought each other in a 6-Man Tag at Yukinori Matsui’s produce show back in May. He is even happier the match gets to happen in Osaka. Even though the contract signing was done electronically, the two still found a way to almost start a brawl by arguing with each other over who is going to win.

The event is supposed to be an all day thing and so far Masahiro Takanashi is the only regular to have a match announced. A lot of the other regulars haven’t been mentioned yet so expect a lot more matches to be added soon.

3. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

Seven years after his last match with the company Kota Ibushi is finally going to wrestle in DDT again! His return match is being purposely put together too because one of his opponents is Tetsuya Endo. When Ibushi left DDT, Endo was one of the wrestlers he entrusted the future of the promotion to. Ibushi wants to prove to everyone he is in much better form than his NOAH match at the start of the year. He had a five minute exhibition at GLEAT recently where he looked alright but still nowhere near the image of Ibushi that we all know and love. I’d say if he’s reduced to just being the hot tag for the match he won’t embarrass himself. Heck if he just wants to goof around Korakuen Hall and fight up in the balcony again for old time’s sake that won’t be bad either. Unless his teases of going over the barrier get taken too far…

BASARA “BASARA 256 ~SOUEN~”, 27/08/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura (c) Vs Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu

The “SOUEN” events are supposedly going to be the same kind of shows BASARA were already doing at Shin-Kiba 1st RING before they increased the schedule. The first match announced definitely goes into the promotion’s history because Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu are reuniting as Cavalry to challenge Astronauts for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. Cavalry was one of the first new teams established in BASARA during the brand’s debut year back in 2016. It lasted until 2018 when Nakatsu won the Union MAX Title and Sekine felt it was time for them to split up so he could challenge him for the belt. It’s only fitting that another championship is what gets them to reunite six years later.

Princess Cup Quarter Finals, Hien, Ueno And Aoki Face Off, First Few EVE X TJPW Matches

August 5, 2024

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 10/08/2024
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. 3 Way Match: Pom Harajuku Vs Mahiro Kiryu Vs Runa Okubo
2. Arisu Endo & Chika Nanase Vs Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami
3. Miu Watanabe, Raku, Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami Vs Shoko Nakajima, Wakana Uehara, Haru Kazashiro & Kira Summer
4. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Masha Slamovich & Toga
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Suzume Vs Yuki Arai
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Mizuki Vs Zara Zakher
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Yuki Kamifuku Vs Yuki Aino
8. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Rika Tatsumi Vs Ryo Mizunami

Eight women remain in the Tokyo Princess Cup. From this point onwards the bracket will get shuffled up so no one who wins will immediately know who they will face in the semi finals. Usually the lottery will happen at the end of the show.

Maki Itoh’s latest tour with GCW brings her going from Japan to America back to Japan and then to America once more. Masha Slamovich is on the Japan tour too and she is teaming with Toga to take on 121000000.

This will be the first time all four current members of The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) are teaming together for an 8-Woman Tag Match.

HIMAWARI won’t be at the show because she is making a stage appearance somewhere else that day. Whatever the performance is about involves a lot of swordplay.

BASARA “BASARA 254 ~HIEN~”, 13/08/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Masato Kamino Vs Kuma Arashi
2. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Daisuke Sekimoto
3. Takato Nakano Vs Kota Sekifuda
4. Isami Kodaka & Lil’ Kraken Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Takeru Inoue
5. Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA Vs Kengo Mashimo & Fuminori Abe

The new schedule for BASARA splitting their “UTAGE” show between red and blue brandings begins here. “HIEN” shows promise to contain Hard Mode level matches. The appearances of Kengo Mashimo, Kota Sekifuda, Daisuke Sekimoto and Kuma Arashi going against the BASARA roster is a good way to start things off.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2024 IN SHINJUKU – DAY 1”, 15/08/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul Vs Toru Owashi, To-y & Keigo Nakamura

3. Blindfold Hidden Breast 4 Way Match: Chris Brookes Vs Antonio Honda Vs Super Sasadango Machine Vs Kazuma Sumi
4. Drunk Match: HARASHIMA Vs Masahiro Takanashi
5. International Special 4 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Joey Janela Vs Effy Vs Takeshi Masada
6. International Special Single Match: Danhausen Vs Kazuki Hirata

What is more powerful than Kazuki Hirata dancing to “Tokyo GO!”? Maybe Danhausen dancing to “Tequila”? It is a Beer Garden show after all.

During the week Joey Janela revealed he has been suffering from gallstone pancreatitis. It sounded like he was going to be out of action for a while but instead he went ahead and wrestled in GCW as scheduled. He is also determined to be in Japan for the tour and DDT on their end has not said anything that suggests otherwise.

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2024 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 17/08/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Shunma Katsumata & Kazuki Hirata Vs Makoto Oishi & Yuni
2. Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Antonio Honda & Ilusion

6. Yukio Naya’s Birthday Celebration Match ~ Special Single Match: Yukio Naya Vs Yuki Iino
7. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Shinya Aoki & Akito

Before the KO-D Openweight Title match between Yuki Ueno and Shinya Aoki takes place on 25th August, they will have one prelim tag match against each other on the 17th.

EVE/TOKYO JOSHI PRO “EVE X TJPW: JAPAN & UK WRESTLING UNITE!”, 24/08/2024
Conway Hall, London, England

1. Aja Kong & Max The Impaler Vs Safire Reed & Zizi
2. EVE Title: Nina Samuels (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

Over the weekend EVE announced the first two matches of the “EVE X TJPW” show. Miyu Yamashita gets a chance to become a two time EVE Champion when she takes on the defending champion Nina Samuels. Also Max The Impaler is coming over as an extra guest star to team with Aja Kong. Good luck to Safire Reed & Zizi because they are going to need it!

The Pom Harajuku Vs Yuki Kamifuku match was postponed to this show because Kamifuku was too unwell to wrestle yesterday. So now it is the six remaining Round 2 matches that will be completed on the same day. Miu Watanabe, Yuki Aino and Yuki Arai are the three that advanced past the opening round to get here.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 10/08/2024

5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Ken Ohka & Shuji Ishikawa
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Takuya Wada

Another Ganbare☆Joshi Vs Ice Ribbon tag match is coming up. This time Ice Ribbon are sending people from both sides of the experience scale. There should be no need to explain who Tsukasa Fujimoto is at this point. She has been a central figure for the company for so long now. Teaming with her is the brand new rookie Kirari Wakana. The 18 year old only just had her debut match earlier this month and is already getting some good results her way. Yuna Manase & YuuRI better watch out and not take her lightly.

The battle of the Ganbare☆Pro generations is going on as I type this.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GARAFES DASH!! ~SCORCHING SUMMER SPLASH~”, 27/07/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Raku Vs Uta Takami
2. Miu Watanabe & Suzume Vs Pom Harajuku & Shino Suzuki

And probably so is the latest Tokyo Joshi Pro appearance at the Garafes.

Who is the 666 X going to be?

DDT “AFTER PETER PAN 2024 IN NAGOYA – DAY 1”, 27/07/2024
Aichi Nagoya Imaike Gas Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Makoto Oishi Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuni
2. MAO & To-y Vs Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi
3. Jun Akiyama & Keigo Nakamura Vs Toru Owashi & Yuki Iino

5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata Vs HARASHIMA & Akito

Since Danshoku Dieno versus Antonio Honda is in the main event they have a 60 minute time limit!

Aichi Nagoya Imaike Gas Hall

1. KANON Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. 3 Way Match: Antonio Honda Vs To-y Vs Yuni

6. Special Single Match: Akito Vs Takeshi Masada

So far Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami keeps thinking DAMNATION T.A should be called FIRE DAMNATION. Perhaps Daisuke Sasaki and the rest should be careful hanging out with him for too long.

Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi Vs Maki Itoh Vs Mahiro Kiryu

Osaka Edion Arena #2

2. East Vs West All-Out Competition: Keigo Nakamura (Iwate) & Yuya Koroku (Chiba) Vs Yuki Ishida (Kumamoto) & Kazuma Sumi (Mie)
3. East Vs West All-Out Competition: Makoto Oishi (Shizuoka) & Akito (Aichi) Vs Danshoku Dieno (Hiroshima) & Yuni (Osaka)

8. DDT Extreme Title ~ East Vs West All-Out Competition: Shunma Katsumata (c) (Chiba) Vs Kohei Kinoshita (Osaka)

East Army: Shunma Katsumata (Chiba), HARASHIMA (Tokyo), Kazuki Hirata (Tokyo), MAO (Miyagi), Tetsuya Endo (Miyagi), Yuki Iino (Tokyo), Daisuke Sasaki (Tokyo), KANON (Ishikawa), Toru Owashi (Nagano), Makoto Oishi (Shizuoka), Akito (Aichi), Yukio Naya (Tokyo), Keigo Nakamura (Iwate), Yuya Koroku (Chiba), Yoshiko Hasegawa (Saitama) and Riara (Miyagi)

West Army: Kohei Kinoshita (Osaka), Yuki Ueno (Osaka), Jun Akiyama (Osaka), Chris Brookes (England), Takeshi Masada (Osaka), Danshoku Dieno (Hiroshima), Yuki Ishida (Kumamoto), Yuni (Osaka), Kazuma Sumi (Mie), Tsutenkakka (Osaka), The Great Koji (Osakananko), A.YAZAWA (Hiroshima), Sayaka Unagi (Osaka) and Momoka Hanazono (Osaka)

Place Of Unknown Origin: MJ Paul, Ilusion

The KO-D Tag Team Champions want to increase their number of defences. BURNING already has a tag match coming up against Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada so they want the titles to be on the line for it.

DDT/GCW “NEVER ENDING NOISY SUMMER”, 12/08/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Vs GCW Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Effy
2. GCW World Title – 3 Way Hardcore Match: Mance Warner (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata Vs Joey Janela
3. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Alex Zayne

Two championship matches built around DDT Vs GCW have been added to the show. MAO is going to defend the DDT Universal Title against Alex Zayne. Meanwhile Shunma Katsumata is getting himself in the middle of Mance Warner and Joey Janella’s grudge over the GCW World Title. A Hardcore 3 Way Match is going to add fuel to that fire.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2024 IN SHINJUKU – DAY 1”, 15/08/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Blindfold Hidden Breast 4 Way Match: Chris Brookes Vs Antonio Honda Vs Super Sasadango Machine Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Drunk Match: HARASHIMA Vs Masahiro Takanashi

The two wrestlers who are considered the biggest drinkers in DDT will face off in a drunk match. HARASHIMA and Masahiro Takanashi are going to drink each other under the table rather than put each other through one.

Danhausen, Joey Janela and Effy will all be part of the Beer Garden show since they will already be in Japan for the GCW tour. I hear Danhausen is still under AEW contract but both parties have become sick of each other so he gets to do stuff like this away from AEW until his deal runs out.

The GCW only shows on their tour are still going to have DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro talent involved but I’ll save writing about them until the shows take place. I don’t know why they think Broski Jimmy Vs Miyu Yamashita is a good idea but it’s happening.

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

1. X Vs X
2. X Vs X
3. X Vs X
4. X Vs X

The demand for DDT’s offer to hold wrestling matches at weddings is so much that they will be doing two events at Sentir la Saison on the day. The afternoon event will be an outdoor show consisting of four matches held inside a wrestling ring

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

1. Falls Count Anywhere Match: X Vs X

Then in the evening DDT will hold a Falls Count Anywhere match in the wedding venue!

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA 2024”, 08/09/2024
Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall

1. Special Single Match: Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami Vs Yukio Naya

There are still a few tag matches between Kawakami and Yukio Naya leading up to this match. But Naya knows the only way he is going to deal with Kawakami is to beat him one on one.

What’s Happening Next In DDT After Peter Pan?

July 25, 2024

Catching up on a lot of news I missed over the last week so expect a lot of separate posts today.

DDT “AFTER PETER PAN 2024 IN SHINJUKU”, 26/07/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku Vs Antonio Honda & Ilusion
2. Special Single Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuni

5. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Akito
6. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami & KANON (w/ MJ Paul) Vs Yukio Naya, Soma Takao & Kazuma Sumi
7. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno, Makoto Oishi & Takeshi Masada

Reunited and back to full strength, The 37KAMIINA are taking on a mixture of DDT talent in the main event of tomorrow’s show.

DAMNATION T.A has a new ally in the form of Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami. He’s here in DDT to fight Yukio Naya first and foremost.

With a KO-D Openweight Title shot coming up in his future, Shinya Aoki is starting his preparations with a match against Akito.

DDT “AFTER PETER PAN 2024 IN NAGOYA – DAY 1”, 27/07/2024
Aichi Nagoya Imaike Gas Hall

The match between Danshoku Dieno and Antonio Honda is confirmed to be the main event even if the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title is not involved by the time the match happens. The rest of the card is not in its final match order yet.

DDT “AFTER PETER PAN 2024 IN NAGOYA – DAY 2”, 28/07/2024
Aichi Nagoya Imaike Gas Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Antonio Honda Vs To-y Vs Yuni

5. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami Vs Yukio Naya & Keigo Nakamura
6. Special Single Match: Akito Vs Takeshi Masada

Similar setup here. Takeshi Masada’s first ever singles match against Akito is the headline match, everything else is currently out of order.

It’s an unofficial DISASTER BOX reunion as HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata are all teaming up again. Is this going to work out like the Smile Squash revival did?

DDT “OSAKA VS TOKYO ~DREAM EAST-WEST PRO WRESTLING BATTLE 2024~”, 10/08/2024
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul Vs Toru Owashi, Yukio Naya & Ilusion
2. East Vs West All-Out Competition: Keigo Nakamura (Iwate) & Yuya Koroku (Chiba) Vs Yuki Ishida (Kumamoto) & Kazuma Sumi (Mie)

Place Of Unknown Origin: MJ Paul, Ilusion

The East Vs West lineup is now complete.

DDT/GCW “NEVER ENDING NOISY SUMMER”, 12/08/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Vs GCW Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Effy

The first match announced is probably the most DDT Vs GCW match the two companies could come up with together. Dieno takes on Effy!

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2024 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 17/08/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Michael Nakazawa

The return of Michael Nakazawa to DDT was probably not as golden as he thought it was going to be, especially when it got overshadowed by Kota Ibushi minutes later. Still, Nakazawa came in to be used as a weapon against Dieno and that’s an issue that still needs to be settled. So the two are going to have a match against each other next month.

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2024”, 25/08/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

Yuki Ueno has chosen Shinya Aoki to be his seventh challenger for this KO-D Title reign. Aoki taught him a lot with the matches they had together last year and now Ueno believes he can beat him. Also the match Aoki wants to do most nowadays is to fight Ueno in a DDT ring.
