The Tigers Mask appearance is a little more noteworthy now after the news came out this week about one of his other alter egos Izanagi leaving All Japan. The man behind the mask(s) Atsushi Maruyama is committing himself fully to Osaka Pro at the end of this year.

8. Selfishly For The 1st Time In 20 Years, Danshoku Dieno’s Self-Satisfaction Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Muscle Sakai

The complete card has been put together by Danshoku Dieno. He added some tag matches that compliment both the present and future of DDT. He also made a 5 Vs 1 Handicap Match for Sanshiro Takagi to compete in because he thinks Takagi had it coming. Takagi feels reenergized from his recent visit to America and wants to work hard enough to earn a regular spot on shows again as well as get bookings abroad. This match has nothing to do with that though. Dieno just wants to make his boss suffer.

7. Road To NEVER MIND 2022! Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida Vs Yuki Ueno & Toi Kojima

The rest of the month is going to give Kazusada Higuchi and Yuki Ueno plenty of matches against each other to prepare for the KO-D Openweight Title bout on 29th December. Harimao, The 37KAMIINA and a few others are getting pulled into the action too.

Saki Akai has a warm up match against her opponents for Tokyo Dome City Hall as well. Saori Anou & Riko Kawahata are coming over early for a tag match, except here Akai is teaming with Yoshiko Hasegawa from Ganbare☆Pro instead of Yuki Arai.

It was eight years ago when Anarko Montaña was last in DDT. The masked wrestler from Chile was brought over by his friend Guanchulo/Diego back then but that was his only appearance for DDT. He is coming back next week for a tryout match with Shunma Katsumata. A good performance here and he may get to stick around.

The vacant KO-D Tag Team Titles will soon find its new champions. The teams competing for the belts on 3rd January will be revealed on this show. There will also be an announcement naming the wrestlers in the running for a future DDT Universal Title shot.

6. Harimao Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida Vs Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata

The Ω unit are trying to ge themselves back to full strength before the end of the year. I don’t know if winning a match against a team with Azul Dragon is worth anything but I guess beggars can’t be choosers here.

DDT “HATSUYUME 2023”, 03/01/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Universal Title Next Challenger Decision Battle: X Vs X
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: X & X Vs X & X

DDT have laid out their schedule of championship matches taking place throughout the Spring. 2023 starts off with the vacated KO-D Tag Titles being brought back along with the No. 1 Contender for the Universal Title being determined.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2023 TOUR IN SHINJUKU ~FIRE!~”, 13/01/2023
Shinjuku FACE

1. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Winner Of 3/1 Decision Match

Ueno’s plan if he becomes a double champion is to defend both the KO-D Title and Universal Title once a month in separate matches for as long as his body can take it. He also wants to take the Universal Title overseas. That plan can be done without the need for the KO-D Title but Ueno is determined to do everything he can to become the unquestionable face of DDT.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2023 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 21/01/2023
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs X

Either Jun Akiyama or Super Sasadango Machine won’t have to wait long until the next DDT Extreme Title defence.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2023”, 29/01/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Naruki Doi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata (c) Vs X, X & X
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: X & X (c) Vs X & X
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs X

The first KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles defence of 2023 will have either Naruki Doi & DISASTER BOX as the defending champions or maybe it will be BURNING with Kotaro Suzuki instead.

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA 2023”, 18/02/2023
Aichi Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs X
2. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs X

Nagoya is getting two title matches.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2023”, 26/02/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Naruki Doi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata (c) Vs X, X & X
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: X & X (c) Vs X & X

DDT spent February 2022 building them month around the Ultimate Tag League. That doesn’t seem to be the case for 2023. The 2021 league took place in May and it’s only a young tournament. It hasn’t established its annual schedule yet.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2023 ~LONGEST 5 HOUR SPECIAL IN KORAKUEN HISTORY~”, 21/03/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs X

DDT’s 26th anniversary show is taking place in Korakuen Hall and the goal is for it to be 5 hours long. Around 14 or 15 matches is the expected amount being planned for the event.

There will be other championship matches happening on this show. Which ones are yet to be determined. But if there is any company that can fill a 15 match card in this day and age with nothing but championship matches it’s DDT. I’m sure they still have the Umemura Personal Computer Copy & Paste Title lying around in their office somewhere.

Akiyama’s 1st TLC Match, Kotaro BURNS Again, Rhio Challenges Yamashita For EVE Title

November 30, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN TOUR ’22”, 03/12/2022
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Mizuki Vs Haruna Neko
2. Rika Tatsumi Vs Pom Harajuku
3. Yuki Kamifuku & Millie McKenzie Vs Shoko Nakajima & Suzume
4. Miu Watanabe Vs Mahiro Kiryu
5. Yuki Aino & Raku Vs Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami
6. Yuka Sakazaki, Hikari Noa & Arisu Endo Vs Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Moka Miyamoto

The long road to Ittenyon has begun. Yuka Sakazaki and Miyu Yamashita have plenty of time and matches with each other to prepare for the Princess Of Princess Title match on 4th January.

Raku has recovered from covid and is cleared to wrestle again. She missed out on the Princess Tag Team Titles match but her team with Yuki Aino continues.

Before Millie McKenzie goes back to England she is getting another match in Tokyo Joshi Pro.

Nao Kakuta is absent again because she is back doing her stage play.

DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2022 THE FINAL”, 04/12/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs Akito & Antonio Honda
2. Soma Takao, Hideki Okatani & Hikaru Machida Vs Yuya Koroku, Yuki Ishida & Takeshi Masada
3. BURNING Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Tetsuya Endo, Kotaro Suzuki & Yusuke Okada Vs MAO, Shunma Katsumata & Toi Kojima
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Naruki Doi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs HARASHIMA, Yukio Sakaguchi & Kazuma Sumi
5. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yuji Hino, Chris Brookes & RSP Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Minoru Fujita, MJ Paul & KANON
6. DDT Extreme Title – TLC Match: Joey Janela (c) Vs Jun Akiyama
7. D-Ou Grand Prix 2022 – Final: Yuki Ueno Vs Yukio Naya

For the first time in his illustrious career Jun Akiyama is doing a TLC Match! Joey Janela chose the stipulation on purpose for that reason. He also thinks beating Akiyama in a TLC Match will benefit GCW and their expansion into Japan. Akiyama is not familiar with the match type even after his recent appearances in America for AEW. All he knows is it sounds like the kind of match Shunma Katsumata likes to do. Akiyama agreed to do the match and promises to do it with his own style. He hears that Janela has respect for him but he does not believe it.

During the week Akiyama held an interview with Kotaro Suzuki on his Youtube channel. Suzuki revealed his contract with NOAH had just expired and he is now a free agent. Akiyama suggested he come wrestle a match for DDT. He would set everything up for him to do it. Suzuki was a member of a previous version of BURNING so it only makes sense for him to be part of their team in the match against The 37KAMIINA. The sauna boys add Toi Kojima to even the numbers.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT AUTUMN ~HAMAMATSU PERFORMANCE~”, 10/12/2022
Shizuoka Entetsu Hall

1. EVE Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Rhio

Here is “The Unbreakable” Rhio making her second tour of TJPW. On the same show that Yamashita won the EVE Title at, Rhio had already thrown her name out as the next challenger for the championship. McKenzie ended up leapfrogging her for to be Yamashita’s first challenger and there won’t be another EVE show taking place until January so Rhio is taking matters into her own hands. She is going back to Japan with the goal of winning the EVE Title and bringing it back home. EVE announced that should Rhio beat Yamashita and become the new champion, Yamashita will get a rematch in London on 7th January. I assume she’ll be doing that date with or without the title anyway.

BASARA “BASARA 206 ~RYU TOKOTO~”, 11/12/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Ryuichi Sekine & Minoru Fujita Vs Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT
2. Daiki Shimomura Vs Atsuki Aoyagi
3. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Yasu Urano
4. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Fuminori Abe

Yasu Urano is having a career resurgance on the indies. He made it to the final of the Chouten ~Itadaki~ tournament and currently holds the main championship in JUST TAP OUT. He can add more glory by teaming with Takumi Tsukamoto and winning the IRON FIST Tag Titles from Aijin Tag. The tournament is the connecting point for everyone in the match. Masato Kamino eliminated Tsukamoto in the first round and then beat his own partner Takato Nakano in the next. Urano beat Kamino in the semi final.

The current AJPW World Jr. Heavyweight Champion is coming to BASARA. In a first time meeting Daiki Shimomura is defending home turf against Atsuki Aoyagi!

DDT “DANSHOKU DIENO 20TH ANNIVERSARY BOOK PUBLICATION COMMEMORATION”, 21/12/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Selfishly For The 2nd Time In 20 Years, A Single Match That Danshoku Dieno Just Wants To See: Yuki “Sexy” Iino Vs Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari
2. Selfishly For The 1st Time In 20 Years, Danshoku Dieno’s Self-Satisfaction Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Muscle Sakai

Danshoku Dieno’s pet dog Haku will be a special guest on the show. He is an 11 month old shelter dog Dieno adopted back in September. Haku will do a meet & greet and will have his own merchandise on sale too.

DDT “NEVER MIND 2022”, 29/12/2022
Tokyo Dome City Hall

1. Sanshiro Takagi Vs Takeshi Masada
2. Pheromones Vs “Miyako & Ward” Pheromones Subjugation Allied Forces: Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari & Koju “Shining Ball” Takeda Vs Akito, Osamu Nishimura, Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Shunma Katsumata
3. Special Tag Match: Saki Akai & Yuki Arai Vs Saori Anou & Riko Kawahata
4. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Chihiro Hashimoto
5. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs X

Shinya Aoki wants his match against Chihiro Hashimoto to be held under Ganryujima Rules, which means the ropes will be removed from the ring. Hashimoto is unsure to accept the condition because she has never wrestled in that kind of environment before. What she is sure about is to beat Aoki by using her German Suplex finisher, the Albright.

BASARA 204 And 205 Results

2. 3 Way Match: SAGAT defeated Daiki Shimomura and Takato Nakano when SAGAT pinned Shimomura with the Goregrind (7:16).

BASARA “BASARA 205 ~OJI NI KITSUNE 22~”, 26/11/2022
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Submission Tag Match: Daiki Shimomura & Takato Nakano defeated Man Man Kai Kind & Fuminori Abe when Shimomura submitted Kind with a 2 Way Inverted Crab Hold on the Foot Acupoint Mat (10:07).
*Kung Fu Yoga Allied Forces 2 – 0 Ninja USA Forces Counter Attack.
2. Jacket Tag Match: Masato Kamino & Lil’ Kraken defeated Daichi Kazato & Takumi Tsukamoto by Referee Stoppage when Kamino used the Tenri High Butterfly Lock on Kazato (R4 0:47).
*Kung Fu Yoga Allied Forces 2 – 2 Ninja USA Forces Counter Attack.
3. Horror! Jusenkyo Single Match: Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Banana Senga ended in a No Contest (11:33). (Special Referee: Isami)
*Kung Fu Yoga Allied Forces 3 – 3 Ninja USA Forces Counter Attack.
4. Loser Loses Gilberto Style Match: Yasu Urano defeated Isami Kodaka when Kodaka let go of the Gilberto (5:32).
*Kung Fu Yoga Allied Forces 5 – 3 Ninja USA Forces Counter Attack.
5. Kung Fu Yoga Allied Forces Vs Ninja USA Forces Counter Attack Special Tag Match: Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & FUMA when Nakatsu grabbed the Scroll (15:14).
*Kung Fu Yoga Allied Forces 5 – 5 Ninja USA Forces Counter Attack.

Kung Fu Yoga Allied Forces: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, FUMA, Yasu Urano, Banana Senga, Daichi Kazato, Takumi Tsukamoto, Daiki Shimomura & Takato Nakano

Ninja USA Forces Counter Attack: Ryota Nakatsu, SAGAT, Isami Kodaka, Tsutomu Oosugi, Masato Kamino, Lil’ Kraken, Fuminori Abe & Man Man Kai Kind

The second show was built around a challenge series between the Kung Fu Yoga Allied Forces led by Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & FUMA against the Ninja USA Forces led by Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT. 2 points were given for a win and 1 was given for a draw. The series ended in a 5-5 tie after the main event so maybe another challenge will be held again sometime in the future.

The final match had a scroll hanging above the ring and the winning team was whoever could pull it down first. It was not a Ladder match however and there were none to be seen. Everyone piled together for Hiroshi and Nakatsu to climb onto and the two fought beneath the scroll. Hiroshi was knocked off the pile and Nakatsu was able to grab the scroll before falling after him to win the match.

Masato Kamino & Lil’ Kraken missed the memo on the jacket match and came down to the ring wearing swimming costumes instead of martial arts gear.

Gilberto Style, Pom Replaces Raku, Naya’s Forbidden Training

November 23, 2022

BASARA “BASARA 204 ~OJI NI KITSUNE 21~”, 26/11/2022
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR

1. Daichi Kazato & Lil’ Kraken Vs Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga
2. 3 Way Match: SAGAT Vs Daiki Shimomura Vs Takato Nakano
3. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Ryota Nakatsu
4. FUMA Vs Yasu Urano
5. Isami Kodaka & Masato Kamino Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Fuminori Abe

We’re building up to Isami Kodaka against Fuminori Abe for the Union MAX Title next month.

The FUMA Vs Yasu Urano match can be treated as an unofficial 3rd place playoff from the Chouten ~Itadaki~ tournament. Both of them were eliminated from the semi finals.

BASARA “BASARA 205 ~OJI NI KITSUNE 22~”, 26/11/2022
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR

1. Submission Tag Match: Daiki Shimomura & Takato Nakano Vs Man Man Kai Kind & Fuminori Abe
2. Jacket Tag Match: Daichi Kazato & Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Masato Kamino & Lil’ Kraken
3. Horror! Jusenkyo Single Match: Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Banana Senga (Special Referee: Isami)
4. Loser Loses Gilberto Style Match: Yasu Urano Vs Isami Kodaka
5. Kung Fu Yoga Allied Forces Vs Ninja USA Forces Counter Attack: Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & FUMA Vs Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT

Asian Kung Fu Revolution are producing the evening show. Can the alliance of Kung Fu and Yoga defeat American ninjas in the final battle of the night?

The Gilberto Style Match between Urano and Kodaka is taken from the anime Baki The Grappler. In the anime it is a contest where both fighters hold onto the same handkerchief while they fight. The first one to let go of the handkerchief loses. The “Loser Loses” wordplay is because the Loser Loses his honour in defeat.

Speed Of Sounds having a match against each other is notable by itself but the match title sounding like a reference to Ranma 1/2’s cursed springs has me confused over what they could be planning.

DDT “UTAN FESTA 2022”, 27/11/2022
Tokyo JR Omori Station East Exit Square

1. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs Akito & Kazuma Sumi

5. World Omori Title: Chikara (c) Vs Soma Takao
6. Omori Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ishida & RSP Vs Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata

Harimao will be without Naomi Yoshimura for a while but at least Kazusada Higuchi still has Yuki Ishida with him. They will team up with RSP to take on The 37KAMIINA.

We’re getting a preview of Joey Janela against Jun Akiyama. It may be the most normal action we’re going to get between the two as they prepare for the DDT Extreme Title match.

No Battle Royal to determine next year’s No. 1 Contender for the World Omori Title?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’22”, 27/11/2022

Raku tested positive for covid and is unable to appear on this weekend’s show. Yuki Aino will now team with Pom Harajuku for the Princess Tag Team Titles match. Harajuku was chosen because the show coincides with the 4th anniversary of her debut match and this will be her first ever title shot.

DDT/ONLY WE “DRAMATIC DREAM TOUR 2022 IN CHIBA”, 03/12/2022

1. Yusuke Okada & Kazuma Sumi Vs Hideki Okatani & Toi Kojima

7. D-Ou Grand Prix 2022 – Final: Yuki Ueno Vs Yukio Naya

Naya visited his father Takatoriki Tadashige this week to give him the latest report on his pro wrestling career as well as talk about his brother Oho’s currently impressive run at the Grand Sumo Tournament in Fukuoka. Naya told his father he was competing in the D-Ou Grand Prix and qualified for the final next month. Takatoriki praised his son for working hard but told him he always had weak luck. Everybody likes people who are hungry to succeed and try their best but those qualities can be useless if Naya does not have the spirit to bring down his opponent and win. So Takatoriki offered to teach Naya that spirit by using forbidden gambling training to improve his luck.

The training is forbidden because Takatoriki was a retired sumo wrestler who became blackballed from the sport after admitting to illegal gambling on baseball games which resulted borrowing large amounts of money to pay off his debts. Despite his dark history with gambling, he felt this was necessary and challenged Naya to beat him in a game of blackjack. Naya succeeded and his father promised to reward him with a 6 month gift voucher at a Personal Training gym if he wins the D-Ou Grand Prix.

Four of the D-Ou Grand Prix participants who failed to make the final now have to team up together and fight the entire DAMNATION T.A.

Naruki Doi returns and gets his request to fight HARASHIMA granted. It’s in a 6-Man Tag Match though and HARASHIMA has to fight against the rest of his DISASTER BOX stablemates.

BASARA “BASARA 206 ~RYU TOKOTO~”, 11/12/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Ryuichi Sekine Vs X
2. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Fuminori Abe

Over two years ago Fuminori Abe won the Union MAX Title under unfortunate circumstances when the champion Masahiro Takanashi suffered a bad injury during their match. Abe became the new champion as a result but he never really accepted the reign as being fully legitimate. After winning the Chouten ~Itadaki~ tournament this week he thinks now is the time for him to challenge for the belt again and prove to himself he deserves to be the champion. Doing that against Isami Kodaka, the man who has held the MAX Title the most would definitely prove it.

Ryuichi Sekine returns to the ring after spending almost two years away from pro wrestling to take care of his mental health. While he was away, Abe won the rights to become Ryuichi Sekine II but he purposely never used the gimmick knowing the original would one day return.

BASARA “BASARA 203 ~GLITTER~” Results

November 8, 2022

BASARA “BASARA 203 ~GLITTER~”, 08/11/2022
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Withheld

1. Chouten ~Itadaki~ – A Block Final: Fuminori Abe defeated FUMA with the I’ll Be Back Style Ham Roll (11:20).
2. Chouten ~Itadaki~ – B Block Final: Yasu Urano defeated Masato Kamino with a Urahane Origatame (13:16).
3. Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial: Gouma & Banana Senga defeated Isami Kodaka when Gouma & Senga pinned Kodaka after a Double Neckbreaker (5:45).
4. Takumi Tsukamoto, Takato Nakano & Lil’ Kraken defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Daichi Kazato & Tsutomu Oosugi when Tsukamoto pinned Kazato with a Brainbuster Slam (9:43).
5. Isami Kodaka, Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita defeated Ryota Nakatasu, SAGAT & Akiyori Takizawa when Kodaka pinned SAGAT with the Modified Samson Clutch (13:12).
6. Chouten ~Itadaki~ – Final: Fuminori Abe defeated Yasu Urano with the Modified Manjigatame (23:32).

Fuminori Abe wins the Chouten ~Itadaki~ tournament after he defeated Yasu Urano in the final! Afterwards he challenged Isami Kodaka for the Union MAX Title at Korakuen Hall on 11th December.

The return of the Turnabout Pro Wrestling Trial brought Kodaka to court accused of blackmail. The Prosecutor Banana Senga said Kodaka used blackmail to deprive Gouma of his full name, Gouma Ryu. Since Gouma was Kodaka’s attorney in this trial, he had to defend that incident. He lost the Ryu part of his name because of a match stipulation and had to follow the rules. The two agreed if they could beat Kodaka then they could get Gouma’s name back. They won the match and Kodaka was declared guilty. However, Kodaka asked the court for an appeal over the result. It’s been granted so for now Gouma has been temporarily renamed Gouma Ryu (Reserve) until further notice.

Ryuichi Sekine announced he will have his comeback match on the 11th December Korakuen show. He took a break from wrestling back at the end of January 2021 to take care of his mental health.

8. D-Ou Grand Prix 2022 – B Block: Chris Brookes (2) Vs Yukio Naya (2)

Mixed fortunes all around in the D-Ou Grand Prix so far. A Block is all to play for at the moment. Everyone is still in the running so wrestlers like Naomi Yoshimura and Daisuke Sasaki have to start their comeback now before it’s too late. The B Block matches on this show is giving those involved the chance to catch up with the leader Yuji Hino.

5. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: Moeka Haruhi Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa
6. GanJo Three Big Singles Match: Yuna Manase Vs Echika Miyabi

It’s time for Ganbare☆Joshi to finally do those big series of singles matches that shows are built around sometimes. Most of the division are taking on each other but Yuna Manase is getting a brand new opponent making her Ganbare☆Pro debut. Echika Miyabi is a trans joshi wrestler who made her pro wrestling debut with P.P.P. Tokyo in September. Miyabi is 21 years old, 178cm tall and weighs 75kg. She had a background in baseball and judo before she transitioned during her college years. She worked at a muscle girls themed bar where she was introduced to pro wrestling by her workmate, Chanyota and began training with her.

It will be a few weeks until the next Spirit Of Ganbare Title defence so until then Hartley Jackson and Mizuki Watase will have plenty of time to prepare for it. Former champion Tatsuhito Takaiwa is coming back to give Watase some help in his preparation. Jackson will be teaming with Seiya Morohashi for this match.

Kouki Iwasaki’s final match in Ganpro will be against Keisuke Ishii but before that happens, he wants to team with him one last time. Their friendship will be put to the test against Ganpro’s original best buddies, Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari.

DDT “UTAN FESTA 2022”, 27/11/2022
Tokyo JR Omori Station East Exit Square

1. World Omori Title: Chikara (c) Vs Soma Takao

2018 was the last time the World Omori Title was defended outside the JR Omori Station. It’s been years since DDT held a show there but they are finally going back. It was determined four years ago that Chikara would defend the title against Masahiro Takanashi next but Takanashi will be busy wrestling in Singapore. So instead Soma Takao has been chosen to challenge for the belt even though he does not want to. The next No. 1 Contender for the following year’s event is usually determined on this show too.

8. D-Ou Grand Prix 2022 – B Block: Chris Brookes Vs MAO

Now that Pheromones have won the war against Sanshiro Takagi, it is up to Akito to protect DDT from their scandalous ways. Takagi has “graduated” from the feud and selected Akito to take his place as Captain of the Pheromones Subjugation Squad. Akito feels like he’s been in that position for a while anyway but agreed to the idea. He’s not wrestling on this show but will be accompanying the opposing team to make sure Pheromones don’t fall out of line.

DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2022 IN OSAKA”, 12/11/2022

7. D-Ou Grand Prix 2022 – B Block: Kazusada Higuchi Vs MAO
8. D-Ou Grand Prix 2022 – B Block: Chris Brookes Vs Yukio Naya

The new rookie Kazumi Sumi impressed with his debut match. Jae over at Dragongate revealed in a tweet that Sumi originally came from the dojo over there but dropped out. And that is how DDT is getting some of their new trainees. They start training at other companies, leave for whatever reason and end up over in DDT. Might be a little awkward if he bumps into Naruki Doi in the locker room then.

DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2022 IN KYOTO”, 13/11/2022
Kyoto KBS Hall

1. Joey Janela, Makoto Oishi & Yuki Ishida Vs RSP, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku

7. D-Ou Grand Prix 2022 – B Block: Yukio Naya Vs KANON
8. D-Ou Grand Prix 2022 – B Block: Yuji Hino Vs MAO

Doi’s next appearance in DDT will be in Kyoto where he’s teaming with Tetsuya Endo & Akito against three of DDT’s younger wrestlers.

One of the non-tournament matches will feature Joey Janela against Rickey Shane Page on opposite sides. Not sure if there’s still bad blood between the two over the GCW Vs 44OH! feud from not so long ago but they don’t even need that excuse to do something crazy together. They’ll be facing each other in the D-Ou GP a few days later anyway so plenty of chances for them to wreck each other.

DDT “D-OU GRAND PRIX 2022 IN KORAKUEN HALL”, 18/11/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Yusuke Okada Vs Yuki Ishida
0. Dark Match: Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari & Koju “Shining Ball” Takeda Vs Akito, Masahiro Takanashi, Antonio Honda & Gorgeous Matsuno

2. Special 8-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Naruki Doi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs MAO, Shunma Katsumata, Toi Kojima & Takeshi Masada

6. D-Ou Grand Prix 2022 – B Block: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Yukio Naya
7. D-Ou Grand Prix 2022 – B Block: Chris Brookes Vs Yuji Hino

Last we heard from Gorgeous Matsuno he was in the early stages of preparations donating a kidney to his partner Junko Tashiro. He gave an update during the week that the kidney transplant has been delayed until next Spring. He explained in an interview that Tashiro’s recent blood tests showed she is in good health and her doctors suggested it might not be a good idea to get a transplant right away while her own kidneys are still functioning. The operation will have to happen eventually but right now Matsuno has been given extra time to go back to his different entertainment activities, including pro wrestling.

“MASAHIRO TAKANASHI INDEPENDENT PERFORMANCE – BOKUTACHI 4 HANJUKU 4 I LOVE YOU! 2022”, 22/11/2022
Shinjuku FACE

1. Mixed Gauntlet Tag Match: Ram Kaichow & Yuko Miyamoto Vs Saki Akai & Brahman Kei (w/ Brahman Shu) Vs Mochi Natsumi & Hoshitango Vs Cherry & Gorgeous Matsuno Vs Chie Koishikawa & Shin Suzuki
2. Chris Brookes, Drew Parker & Antonio Honda Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao
3. Mei Suruga Vs MAO
4. Daisuke Sekimoto Vs Masahiro Takanashi

A Team Drift reunion is on the cards over at Masahiro Takanashi’s show. He’s also added a bunch of teams to the Mixed Tag Gauntlet match. Takanashi has already apologised to Saki Akai for sticking her with the Brahman Brothers.

DDT “NEVER MIND 2022”, 29/12/2022
Tokyo Dome City Hall

1. Special Tag Match: Saki Akai & Yuki Arai Vs Saori Anou & Riko Kawahata
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs X

It’s very likely that the D-Ou winner will challenge Kazusada Higuchi for the KO-D Openweight Title at the end of the year. Or if Higuchi wins the tournament then he will likely nominate his challenger.

Two outsiders have come to challenge Reiwa AA Cannon. The duo of Saori Anou & Riko Kawahata both have histories with Saki Akai but they are completely brand new opponents for Yuki Arai.
