6. The 37KAMIINA Vs DAMNATION T.A?: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs MAO, Daisuke Sasaki & KANON (w/ MJ Paul)
Coming out of yesterday’s show MAO has made the dramatic decision to run away from The 37KAMIINA for the time being. He feels it would be best for him to fight against the group so both he and Yuki Ueno will be at their most motivated heading into Sumo Hall. So for most of July MAO is hopping from unit to unit across DDT in 6-Man Tag Matches against his friends. Out of all the groups he could team up with, DDT is trying him out with DAMNATION T.A first. He is well aware they could stab him in the back but is willing to risk it so he can wrestle against Ueno more often.

Next MAO will try teaming with D.O.A. It’s a trio full of wildcards so maybe it is a better fit than it looks on paper.
DDT “ROAD TO PETER PAN 2024 TOUR IN SHINJUKU”, 10/07/2024
Shinjuku FACE
1. KANON 5th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: TAKA Michinoku Vs KANON
2. Special Single Match: Yuki Iino Vs Go Shiozaki
3. The 37KAMIINA Vs SCHADENFREUDE International?: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs MAO, Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda
Then MAO gives SCHADENFREUDE International a shot. This should be the only other unit in DDT where he feels at home. There’s another show on the schedule this month so MAO might get a chance to team with BURNING or whatever’s currently left of Harimao.
Actually, maybe not with BURNING. Their focus is on preparing to defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles against TEAM NOAH. After a few clashes that happened in both DDT and NOAH recently, Yuki Iino has demanded a singles match against Go Shiozaki to prove who is better.

Smile Squash has to defend the belts against DAMNATION T.A, SCHADENFREUDE International and The 37KAMIINA with Aja Kong as their long awaited third member. We even get friends of Takagi taking part in their own match. It includes Munenori Sawa and I think the first ever DDT appearance of Hisamaru Tajima.

It’s still another month to go until “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2024” but today was the last stop at Korakuen Hall before DDT returns to Sumo Hall. One that caused friction inside The 37KAMIINA thanks to the main event. The four members of the group paired off against each other to build up Yuki Ueno against MAO. Ueno teamed with Shunma Katsumata while MAO had To-y as his partner. Everyone looked to be having fun with the match, doing some good-natured poking at each other and the NeppoWER!! pose being used often. The fun then turned wreckless when chairs were set up at ringside and Katsumata crashed into them after MAO dodged his dive out of the ring. Both teams were able to hit synchronised dives to their opponents. MAO almost got the win when he hit Katsumata with the Iai Kick but Ueno broke the pin. To-y came in to hold Ueno back while MAO gave Katsumata the Michinoku Driver II to get the win.
MAO spoke a lot about the other members of The 37KAMIINA after the match because they do not all fight each other often. He now realizes just how great Ueno is after wrestling him today. He also sees how much Katsumata has grown because they’ve been working so hard together. Since MAO is facing Ueno at Sumo Hall for the KO-D Openweight Title he needs to make a decision. MAO is going to run away from home by temporarily leaving The 37KAMIINA! He was about to exit the ring when Ueno stopped him just for a moment. He understands MAO is taking the match seriously and knows just how much he also loves to be free. He does not know if MAO is fully quitting The 37KAMIINA, joining another unit or if somebody else will soon take care of him. But no matter what MAO is doing, The 37KAMIINA will always be there to make him shine!
Backstage Ueno said he understands the heavy weight that comes with leaving a unit because he himself did it before with DISASTER BOX. It is a sad feeling but MAO’s choice to leave also makes Ueno look forward to the KO-D Title match even more. All he wants MAO to do is not take this decision lightly. Katsumata said The 37KAMIINA will continue and will be a unit that MAO will want to come back to. MAO said he will always trust Ueno but does not want to rely on him. He wants to face Ueno in as many prelim matches as possible from now until Sumo Hall and does not mind who DDT will make him team up with. He is doing this because it will be the best way to raise Ueno’s motivation as well as his own. MAO said he will eventually go home after “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2024” because he loves everyone but does not know what will happen after that. Especially if he discovers a new life he really likes away from The 37KAMIINA.
Miyu Yamashita and Maki Itoh from Tokyo Joshi Pro both consider Sanshiro Takagi to be an important person in their lives because he was their entryway into pro wrestling. So it was fitting for Takagi to have them be part of one of his final matches before his indefinite break as a pro wrestler begins. Tetsuya Koda though thought otherwise. The inclusion of Danshoku Dieno in the match and his lewd moveset being performed on his talent was too much for the TJPW boss to bear so he interfered in the match. That caused the DDT GM and Koda’s part-time rival Hisaya Imabayashi to get involved. Both of them started fighting each other until they both got their faces shoved into Dieno’s backside. The scheduled match continued and Itoh gave Takagi a Stunner. Yamashita then picked up Itoh in the Electric Chair position and dropped her face first into Dieno’s Hell Gate. She then kicked Dieno in the butt and Takagi followed up by giving Dieno an Avalanche Brainbuster before pinning him with the Stunner.
Takagi told Yamashita and Itoh after the match how much he really wanted to wrestle them because TJPW is an important part of his career. Yamashita was the catalyst for TJPW and Itoh has spread it across the world. He will work closely with Koda to help grow TJPW even more. He also likes the idea of Itoh inheriting the Stunner from him. She says she is going to use the move more often in America. Takagi also had news for Danshoku Dieno. Takagi has thought long and hard about who he wants his last opponent to be at Sumo Hall. It has to be someone who embodies the “Dramatic Dream” and Dieno fits the image more than anyone else. Dieno agreed and has a match stipulation in mind. The Weapon Rumble! Takagi swears it is not a retirement but Dieno wants nothing more than to retire him at Sumo Hall!
In a preview for the KO-D Tag Team Titles match at Sumo Hall, TEAM NOAH paid a visit to face BURNING in a 6-Man Tag Match. Tetsuya Endo and Go Shiozaki started off but once Yuki Iino got into the match he and Shiozaki spent time beating each other’s chests raw. Atsushi Kotoge’s plan to focus on Yuya Koroku paid off when he pinned him with the Killswitch to give the visiting team the win. Iino and Shiozaki kept fighting afterwards and had to be pulled apart. Iino demanded a singles match against Shiozaki before the tag title bout happens. Shiozaki said he will do it anytime and promise to damage Iino’s chest twice as bad as he did today. Endo said today was the first time he saw something out of Kotoge. He told him not to hold anything back when he fights DDT.
The battle for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles has gotten even more crowded than it’s already been. Two members of Smile Squash were at the show today without their belts because DAMNATION T.A stole them recently. With that on the minds of HARASHIMA & Akito things got even messier when they and Soma Takao lost to SCHADENFREUDE International. The consequence of that is now Masahiro Takanashi, Takeshi Masada & Antonio Honda wanted in on the title match at Sumo Hall! DAMNATION T.A came out with the stolen belts demanding to know what the match was going to be because it was already announced as a 3 Way Trios match. That caused Katsumata & To-y to enter the ring and finally reveal who their third member is supposed to be. It’s Aja Kong! After a lot of arguing between the teams, Imabayashi confirmed that the titles will be on the line in a Survival 4 Way Match on 21st July. That way only the strongest team will be left holding the three championship belts.
Keigo Nakamura scored a big win by pinning Makoto Oishi in a tag match. Jun Akiyama was a big challenge for him to overcome but Yukio Naya was there to block him off. Nakamura got the pinfall by placing Oishi seated between the ropes and then hitting the Running Diving Headbutt while Oishi was dangling in the air.
Match #2 was under Lucha Libre Rules as per Toru Owashi’s request. Honda tried to do a Rolling Sole Butt to fit in but only ended up injuring himself. He tried to tell a Gongitsune story only for Daisuke Sasaki to cut him off. Owashi, Honda & Kazuki Hirata all put on Hirata GO!! glasses and danced around KANON, dealing him psychological damage. However Sasaki & MJ Paul attacked them and soon Hirata was dancing alone unaware that DAMNATION T.A were surrounding him. The three of them destroyed Hirata from there and won the match.
Kazuma Sumi beat both Yuni and Ilusion in the latest show opener between their generation. He used the movement of a 619 to grab Yuni and roll him over into a School Boy for the three count.

*Funky Kato becomes the 1,659th champion.
1. Falls Count Anywhere Match: Minoru Suzuki defeated Sanshiro Takagi with the Gotch-Style Piledriver (55:07).
The never ending war between Sanshiro Takagi and Minoru Suzuki must have the most unique list of locations in pro wrestling. They have fought each other in Budokan Hall, the Tokyo Dome, the Shinkansen bullet train and now the humble Sakura Tram on the Toden Arakawa Line. The latest chapter of this rivalry was put together by DDT and the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation. It would be Takagi’s last chance at finally beating Suzuki before he takes an indefinite break as a pro wrestler on 21st July to focus on managing DDT behind the scenes.
The starting point was at Arakawa-shakomae Station. There both wrestlers made their entrance outdoors for the 16 passengers who won successfully got tickets to see the match. Then Shinichiro Kawamatsu showed up accompanied by the current Tokyo governor Yuriko Koike. This was especially newsworthy because the Tokyo gubernatorial election is taking place soon and Koike has mostly avoided making public appearances during her campaign, citing a busy schedule as her reason. This is the same election that has gone viral on social media for the high amount of the bizarre candidates involved, some being there to take advantage of equal media coverage to say and do whatever they want. I guess the best comparison I could make to another part of the world is imagine what would happen if the BBC had to give the Monster Raving Loony Party the same amount of coverage as they do for the major political parties in the UK. So this match ended up becoming part of someone’s political campaign, which I feel kind of iffy about.
The two politicians boarded the tram along with everyone else to witness the start of the match. It began slow with Takagi and Suzuki both taking a feeling out process. Takagi put Suzuki in a Headlock and encouraged Koike to throw a Chop at Suzuki’s chest. Then when Suzuki put Takagi in a Neck Lock, Takagi reached out to hold Koike’s hand which the referee decided counts as a rope break. Koike then Chopped both wrestlers before exiting the tram at Kodai Station.
Now that the governor was gone, Takagi and Suzuki agreed they could go do whatever they want. The fighting became more aggressive and they also interacted more with the passengers. When the tram arrived at Miyanomae Station everyone was in for a surprise. Sayaka Unagi stepped on board carrying all of her championships including the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title!
Unagi took Takagi’s side and the two of them attacked Suzuki with a large rubber band. Suzuki continued to fight a 2-on-1 advantage until the tram arrived at Kumanomae Station. There he received reinforcements when Hikaru Sato stepped into the tram!
Soon Suzuki had the numbers advantage when Seigo Tachibana showed up at the Higashi-ogu-sanchome Station. But when he said he was here to mug people, Kawamatsu refused to stand by and do nothing. The politician joined Takagi’s side and now the match turned into a 3-on-3 fight on board! During the chaos Suzuki’s Towel won the Iron Man Title when Suzuki used it to choke Unagi into submission.
It became such a crazy situation that a policeman was waiting for them at Machiya-nichome Station. That policeman was Takayuki Ueki. However he lost his cool when someone pointed out he is a cop from Kanagawa which means he should have no power over here. Ueki threatened everyone on board with his pistol but suddenly cowered when Suzuki confronted him. Suzuki then grabbed the pistol and shot Ueki with it! With the situation now under control, Ueki’s body was dropped off at Arakawa-nanachome Station.
The next person to show up was a comedian named Sugichan. He performed a comedy skit and then pinned Suzuki’s towel to win the Iron Man Title! Suzuki didn’t find it funny so he choked Sugichan with the towel until he tapped out. Again the ref Daisuke Kiso decided that the towel was the new champion and not Suzuki.
The match suddenly got hijacked by MAO and Takeshi Masada at Minowabashi Station. The two young wrestlers complained that Takagi and Suzuki’s Toden Pro Wrestling was too lukewarm and declared themselves the new generation of Toden Pro Wrestling! They then started to fight each other as a demonstration until Takagi and Suzuki removed them from the tram so they could continue their own match.
At this point the tram had reached the end of the line so it began its return journey on the track. The next stop was Arakawa-itchumae Station where musician Funky Kato came on board singing the Pro Wrestling NOAH theme “VOYAGE” to advertise his new album. Suzuki forced him to also sing “Kaze Ni Nare”. Then a bunch of the wrestlers from earlier came back on board at Arakawa-nichome Station. They stayed around until the tram reached Higashi-ogu-sanchome Station. They all exited again leaving Takagi, Suzuki and Kato with the latest unexpected guest…
It was Meiko Satomura! She’s apparently still signed to WWE, you know. She approached Kato and challenged him to a battle. But it wasn’t a fight she was looking for. She wanted to prove she is a better singer than he is! She sang “Ii Hi Tabidachi” while the other wrestlers were putting each other in Sleeper Holds behind her. Satomura soon joined in. Kato then all of a sudden pinned Suzuki’s towel to win the Iron Man Title and escaped the tram at Miyanomae Station with the belt! Satomura left at the same spot.
When the tram returned to Kodai Station the station attendant stepped on board to inspect everyone’s tickets. Except it was really Jushin Liger in disguise! He got into an argument with Suzuki and hit him with the Shotei before going back to his cushy little post-retirement job.
With the journey nearing its end, Takagi declared it was now time to win by throwing a Lariat at the speed of 13.1km/h thanks to the tram’s momentum. Suzuki ducked the Lariat and grabbed Takagi in the Sleeper Hold instead. He then spun him around and dropped him on his head with the Gotch-Style Piledriver. Takagi was out after that and pinned for the three count.
After the match Takagi had a big announcement to make. He cannot beat Suzuki no matter how many times he tries so he is going to retire! He requested a 10 bell salute only to give Suzuki a Stunner in the middle of it. He was just lying to get the last laugh! Suzuki chased Takagi away from the tram, promising not to let Takagi escape until they reach the ends of Hell!

First it was Judomaster who appeared in the BASARA ring to learn pro wrestling. Now a masked man by the name of Karate Master has shown up looking to do the same. It’s a good thing too because Ryuichi Sekine slept through the last show and BASARA needed a last second replacement when they couldn’t find him.

4. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi
The contracts for the two title matches at Korakuen Hall have been signed. We also got to hear about how Miu Watanabe and Rika Tatsumi are preparing for the Princess Of Princess Title match. Tatsumi is feeling confident because she has never lost to Watanabe previously. She often has a strategy for her matches. It’s just that once the bell rings, all of that strategy goes out the window and Tatsumi doesn’t realize what she is doing. That may explain her habit of strangling her opponents during matches. Watanabe understands that kind of creativity when she is next to Tatsumi but could never recreate it by herself. She thinks the key to finally beating Tatsumi will be a sudden burst of emotion that happens in the moment.
When Yuki Arai heard that Moka Miyamoto wanted to challenge Daisy Monkey for the Princess Tag Team Titles she offered to be her partner. It wasn’t that long ago when Arai said she was considering fighting for another championship before her next International Princess Title defence takes place. So the timing of Miyamoto looking for a tag title shot couldn’t have been better. It’s not a random pairing either. Arai & Miyamoto entered the 2022 Max Heart Tournament as a team and even defeated Daisy Monkey in the 2nd Round! Suzume & Arisu Endo both remember that loss and would love to get revenge.

DDT “SANSHIRO TAKAGI VS SUPER SASADANGO MACHINE ONE MATCH EVENT”, 26/06/2024
Shinjuku FACE
346 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. Special Single Match: Toru Yano defeated Super Sasadango Machine with a School Boy (66:52).
48 years ago today Antonio Inoki and Muhammad Ali had their famous fight at the Nippon Budokan. That has nothing to do with today’s one match show between Sanshiro Takagi and Super Sasadango Machine. Instead the novelty of this match was the 51 kinds of tickets that were sold for the show, many of which allowed the ticket holders to have an interactive role of some sort. The majority of them sold out too! The only tickets that did not have any takers was the one priced 999,999 yen with a luxery gift watch included and also a ticket that allowed a fan to present a home made prize to the winner.
Many of the tickets gave fans different roles on the show, from getting to read out the pre-match announcements, hitting the ring bell, taking command of the ring lights, being the ringside seconds for either wrestler, acting as the ringside photographer and more. There were also four “Surprise Experience” tickets sold that allowed people to intefere in the match. It was announced beforehand that the ticket buyers were pro wrestlers Cherry, Erina Yamanaka, Hen China and Maku Donaruto.
When the match began Takagi and Sasadango kept it simple for the opening minutes. Then all of a sudden Toru Yano arrived in the venue to present Takagi with sake and a bouquet of flowers. Sasadango had spent the week trying to get Yano to attend the show but couldn’t get him to commit. However he decline to stick around to watch the match and left.
Takagi Hit Sasadango with the bouquet and then spat the sake in Sasadango’s face as they fought outside the ring. One of the tickets allowed Takagi and Sasadango to fight next to a fan and pose for pictures with them. Once they found the fan they gave him a close look at their fighting and held something like a group photo for him.
After that the four surprise wrestlers did their interference spots one by one Royal Rumble entry style. Cherry was first and said she came to express her gratitude to Takagi. She did that by putting him in an Achilles Tendon Hold. Erina Yamanaka ran in and hit Takagi with a Thrusting Knee strike in the corner. Hen China brought out a long rubber strap, got fans to stretch it back and then let it go so it snapped into Takagi’s face. Maku Donaruto turned things blue by doing lewd things to whoever he could get his hands on.
Takagi fled the ring and went over to the seat where fans a prohibited from laughing. There he found Stardom wrestler Momo Kohgo in the seat and he couldn’t help but laugh. He had to be punished for breaking the rule so Kohgo spanked him with a bat. Kohgo started laughing as well so Takagi grabbed the bat and spanked her back. More people started to laugh including those sitting in the celebrity seats so soon everybody was getting spanked!
Back in the ring the four surprise wrestlers started to gang up on Sasadango. He called a time out so the person who bought a ticket to be his substitute could come in and get stamped instead. The wrestlers didn’t even notice the substitution even happened until Hisaya Imabayashi pointed out the person’s impressive chest hair.
More ticket guarantees were claimed including those celebrating birthdays. One ticket in particular that had a lot of offers was to celebrare a person’s retirement. A woman bought the ticket for her father who recently retired from a career he worked in for 42 years. He was given the full blown pro wrestling retirement ceremony and used “Spartan X” as his music.
More celebrities and random guests including a Jushin Liger lookalike got to be involved in the match. It took around 45 minutes for all of the ticket guarantees to be used up. By that point Takagi and Sasadango agreed to fight each other fair and square until the finish.
However after a Double Lariat knocked both wrestlers down, Sasadango grabbed the microphone. He said once the match ends they will never have to fight each other anymore and that makes him sad. He doesn’t want to settle their rivalry after all! Takagi agreed and Sasadango brought up his latest PowerPoint presentation.
There is one person that Sasadango wants to fight because of the #OhkaEmpire show that took place nine years ago. That show happened during the height of DDT’s working relationship with New Japan and the main event was HARASHIMA & Ken Ohka beating Hiroshi Tanahashi & Yohei Komatsu (now known as YOH) in the main event. It turns out that a certain Toru Yano was incredibly angry about the result at the time. When Sasadango found out about it he knew that someday he would have to fight him to continue the DDT Vs New Japan rivalry. That day is today!
Takagi gave Sasadango his blessing to change the match into Sasadango Vs Yano. Out came Yano in his full ring gear and he quickly started removing the ring corner pads. He lured Sasadango out of the ring and taped his legs together. The ringside seconds wearing Sasadango masks helped the real one return to the ring in time to avoid the count out.
Sasadango then dared Yano to tape his own feet together so they could fight each other on even terms. He agreed to do it just because he was defending the honour of New Japan. Yano then realised he couldn’t give Sasadango a Low Blow so he grabbed a pair of scissors. Sasadango took the scissors from him and tried to cut his hair off. When the ref stopped him Sasadango then pulled off his own mask and placed it over Yano’s face like a blindfold.
Yano was given two Lehmann Shocks but he kicked out of the pin. He then pleaded just like Sasadango did to have the tape cut off so they could fight on even terms again. Sasadango did so, the two shook hands and then Yano gave him a Low Blow. Yano then took off his own shirt, pulled it over Sasadango’s face and rolled him up with a School Boy to win the match.
Sasadango thanked Yano for coming to the show today despite his busy schedule. He removed his King Of Sasadango title belt from his waist and presented it to Yano for beating him. Yano said it is an honor to receive this belt but also too heavy of a burden for him to handle so he gave it back to Sasadango and left the ring.
At the end of the show Takagi promised he will fight Sasadango again after he comes back from his break from pro wrestling. Sasadango was disappointed he lost the latest DDT Vs New Japan match but is certain Konosuke Takeshita will get revenge when he enters the G1 Climax this summer. Backstage Takagi praised Sasadango/Muscle Sakai for being a genius promoter because today’s show barely had any personnel costs nor staff fees!

7. Shoko Nakajima & Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Nao Kakuta & Yuki Aino
Now that Moka Miyamoto is looking for a Princess Tag Team Titles match in the future she needs to go find a partner. Could her match here provide a clue? If “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’24” is the destination for her title challenge then that rules Rika Tatsumi out of the equation but not Kaya Toribami. Does Toribami fight with the same passion as Miyamoto though? Doesn’t seem like a good fit to me.

The last time HARASHIMA and Yukio Naya fought each other was for a No. 1 Contender’s match back in February 2023. Naya won that match during his main event push for DDT’s anniversary show that year. Can Naya win again in the rematch or has HARASHIMA’s constant training caught him back up to the young heavyweight?
There hasn’t been much about D.O.A as a unit to talk about since they lost the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. They have a chance to shove their way back into a crowded title scene if they beat The 37KAMIINA here.

Meanwhile To-y from The 37KAMIINA is also making demands for a title shot with Shunma Katsumata and an unknown third man as his partners. Smile Squash decided to let both teams fight them in a 3 Way Match for the titles so everything can get cleared up once the dust settles. As to who Katsumata & To-y are teaming with, they keep declining to say who it is out loud.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2024 TOUR IN OSAKA”, 22/06/2024
Osaka City Minato Civic Center
238 Fans – No Vacancy
1. 3 Way Match: Yuki Iino defeated Makoto Oishi and To-y when Iino pinned Oishi with a Lariat (4:44).
2. Osaka Specialty Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Tsutenkakka with the Somato (10:39).
3. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Keigo Nakamura (c) defeated Kazuma Sumi with the Diving Bedpad (8:49).
*V? for Keigo Nakamura.
4. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul defeated Jun Akiyama, Toru Owashi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when KANON submitted Matsunaga with the Cobra Twist 2.0 (9:58).
5. BURNING Vs SCHADENFREUDE International!: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada defeated Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku when Brookes pinned Masada with the Cosmic Doom (9:51).
6. Sanshiro Takagi Indefinite Rest Road ~ Special Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata defeated Sanshiro Takagi & CIMA when Hirata pinned Takagi with a School Boy (0:05).
6a. Rematch – Captain’s Fall Tag Match: CIMA (C) & Sanshiro Takagi defeated Kazuki Hirata (C) & Danshoku Dieno when CIMA (C) pinned Hirata (C) with the Somato (11:09).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: CIMA defeated Keigo Nakamura (c) with a School Boy (6:48 pm).
*CIMA becomes the 1,647th champion.
7. Special Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata defeated Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida when MAO pinned Ishida after the Our Mad Max (19:56).
The show was missing Yuki Ueno due to illness and Kazusada Higuchi due to injury so MAO took it as an opportunity to take the reigns of DDT in their absence. He and Shunma Katsumata wanted to do their best and since Ueno was missing, MAO became bold and said he will definitely beat him for the KO-D Openweight Title at Sumo Hall on 21st July! He also congratulated Yuki Ishida for moving to Osaka and is confident he will become a success here with his sumo endeavors.
The long awaited team-up of Sanshiro Takagi & CIMA lasted five seconds. In a reverse of what usually happens, Kazuki Hirata immediately rolled up Takagi for the three count. Takagi accepted defeat, leaving CIMA confused. It’s been over three years since CIMA was last in DDT and the Takagi that he knows would not take this lying down. He demanded a rematch this time under Captain’s Fall Rules. The other side agreed and the match restarted with CIMA and Hirata as the captains. Danshoku Dieno with the help of Makoto Oishi set up the Hell Gate but CIMA avoided that terrible fate. Instead Takagi gave Hirata the Stunner and stabbed Dieno with the Kancho while CIMA pinned Hirata with the Somato.
Takagi said he was happy for the chance to team with CIMA before going on his break. CIMA suggested that DDT and GLEAT do another joint show in the near future, this time in Osaka. As he went to leave the ring he noticed Keigo Nakamura was holding the ropes down for him while wearing the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. CIMA acted nice towards him but it was only so he could roll him up in the ring and win the Iron Man Title from him! Backstage Takagi warned CIMA the belt is on the line 24 hours and he won’t be able to get any sleep because of it. He was proven right because Tsutenkakka then tried to attack CIMA in a failed attempt to win the belt.
Both Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada tried hiding in the audience during Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku’s entrance but their opponents caught them anyway. Endo then insulted Masada for not having any friends but apparently he did have some in the audience.
After HARASHIMA’s match both To-y & Katsumata entered the ring. To-y told HARASHIMA that The 37KAMIINA wants a shot at the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles and Katsumata was going to be one of his partners. HARASHIMA pointed out that Smile Squash are already scheduled to defend the belts against DAMNATION T.A at Sumo Hall on 21st July. But if To-y wants the match then he will talk to Akito & Yasu Urano about it. However he noticed that To-y & Katsumata need another partner. The two muttered to each other and announced they know who the other member of their team will be. Except they refused to tell anyone who it is. Yukinori Matsui got mad at them for keeping it a secret and told them the challenge was not official yet.

News about this show went haywire during the week. First it was announced that Antonio Honda would face The Invisible Man in a singles match. Then a few days later The Invisible Man pulled out of the booking due to what was only described as “various circumstances” by DDT. A replacement was found though and Honda has a new opponent. It is Invisible Leonardo DiCaprio! It is a matchup so big that Honda asked DDT to make it a No DQ I Quit match! It will only end when either Honda or DiCaprio says “I Quit” into a microphone.

In the same month when the Olympics begins, DDT is heading over to Odawara to meet up with Yoshiaki Yatsu again. Kuroshio TOKYO Japan will be there as well to create the weird trio of Sanshiro Takagi, Yatsu & Kuroshio.
This show will not be the first time Kazuki Hirata and Aja Kong will be fighting each other in a singles match. Back in 2016 Hirata won a Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract except the prize was to go on a date with Kong whenever he wanted. He had no choice but to cash in the prize and go on the date where they actually came close to hitting it off. However Hirata got cold feet and left Kong feeling rejected. Kong got her revenge by crashing the next DDT show afterwards and beating Hirata in an impromptu match. I should know. I was there (at the show, not the date)! Have broken hearts been healed over 8 years later?
Odawara’s local mascto Umemaru will make its pro wrestling debut. As usual when this kind of thing happens in DDT, Pokotan will be in the match too so it can show its mascot superiority in the ring.

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING”, 21/09/2024
Naraha Town, Fukushima
DDT is teaming up with To-y’s home of Naraha Town in Fukushima for the area’s migration campaign. The town was evacuated after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake until 2015 when town recovery efforts went into effect. DDT is getting involved with this year’s project by having one of their wrestlers become an ambassador for the area. To-y has been in the role before but now Shunma Katsumata is taking over to help promote the town. However the town’s mascot Yuzutaro objected to the idea because it claims To-y recently ate and drank too much of the local delicacies without paying for it. According to Yuzutaro, the damage to the town’s reputation caused by this will cost To-y one trillion yen! If To-y is unable to pay it back then Yuzutaro suggested he work jobs in Naraha until the debt is repaid. Katsumata thought that was a fair idea and offered to give up his role so To-y can be the ambassador again for a second year in a row. To-y had no choice but to accept the arrangement, although he has to be recognized as an unofficial ambassador due to the circumstances. One of the events DDT will do to promote the town is hold a Falls Count Anywhere match somewhere in the town this September.

*Kazuma Sumi becomes the 1,643rd champion.
6. Kazusada Higuchi 10th Anniversary Match ~ Harimao Vs BURNING!: Kazusada Higuchi, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida defeated Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku when Higuchi pinned Koroku with the Kachiage (17:38).
This year both Kazusada Higuchi and Ryota Nakatsu are celebrating 10 years in the wrestling business. The anniversary of their pro debut isn’t until November but DDT wanted to dedicate today’s main event to Higuchi’s debut. Tetsuya Endo took the time to congratulate Higuchi while fighting him. Yuki Ishida cared more about shouting “Dosukoi!” in response to Yuki Iino shouting “BURNING!” Higuchi pulled out a Sumo move to win the match, hitting Yuya Koroku with a Kachiage elbow strike across the face for the three count after Koroku kicked out of the Doctor Bomb.
After the match Higuchi praised each member of Harimao, including Naomi Yoshimura who was at ringside with them. He is grateful to share the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles with Nakatsu in BASARA. Little by little, Harimao will continue to move forward. Backstage Iino talked about the recent news that he will be getting a G-REX Title shot in GLEAT on 1st July after he pinned the champion Hayato Tamura last week. He’s going to break Tamura with the Spear again, break the rest of BULK Orchestra and take the G-REX Title!
There was a preview tag match for the upcoming DDT Extreme Title 5 Way bout. Shunma Katsumata teamed with Yuki Ueno to beat Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi. Katsumata scored the pin on Sumi but praised both him and Naya after the match. He has the highest of expectations for his opponents when they go fight each other in the sauna on 21st June. However To-y felt left out because he wrestled in the match before them and thought that was more extreme than anything that happened in this match.
The reason why To-y thinks his match was more extreme is because it was a Drunk Tag Match. Every two minutes every wrestler in the match had to drink a cup of alcohol. A lottery randomly determined which alcohol everyone had to drink each time. Everyone eventually got too drunk to wrestle. Chris Brookes fell on his back and couldn’t get up. MAO climbed the ropes wanting to do the Cannonball 450 and he just drunkingly fell onto Brookes, pinning him anyway to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. He then immediately lost it when Ilusion pinned him after the match. Ilusion’s title reign lasted one match when he reappeared in the ring with the rest of the Extreme Title participants. Kazuma Sumi cradled him to become the new champion, winning his first ever wrestling belt.
Sanshiro Takagi promised the Nariagari wrestlers that when he returns from his indefinite break he will appear on one of their shows. Even though it is an amateur promotion created by Danshoku Dieno, Nariagari also treats Takagi like a father figure.
Two different comedy acts performed during the show. The one during intermission is a fart artist who once competed in Britain’s Got Talent. The other act from the pre-show were dressed in Kinnikuman and Buffaloman costumes.

Miyu Yamashita is now back in Japan after finishing up the last of her current American dates over the weekend. Her first match back in Tokyo Joshi Pro is reviving 121000000 with Maki Itoh.
Match #4 is important because it is taking place on the same day as Runa Okubo’s 16th birthday! Her team with Haru Kazashiro is currently being called HaruRuna while Shino Suzuku & Uta Takami have been shortened down to ShinoUta.
Both Vert Vixen and LA Taylor have come out of Korakuen Hall without any championships. They can at least try to get some commiseration wins here for their troubles.

As part of Sanshiro Takagi’s final matches, he convinced CIMA to be in the same ring as Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata again.
A return to Osaka means Tsutenkakka gets to be on DDT shows again. He gets a big match against HARASHIMA to see what he is made of. I mean other than steel because he is already a tower in the body of a pro wrestler.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’24”, 20/07/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Special Single Match: Aja Kong Vs Shoko Nakajima
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi
TJPW’s big match for the summer is Daydream tearing each other apart for the Princess Of Princess Title! A match like this was always on the horizon and Rika Tatsumi thinks the time is now for it to happen. She wants to be the Princess Champion again even if it means having to take the belt from Miu Watanabe. That scenario happened before last year with the International Princess Title. Watanabe does not want history to repeat itself.
There’s been a couple of times already this year when Shoko Nakajima has been in the ring with Aja Kong. Now they get to fight each other one on one! It is a match both are looking forward too. Nakajima wants to have a wrestling career as long and illustrious as Kong’s, maybe even turn into the modern day equivalent of her. Kong meanwhile is isolating herself in the mountains in order to train for this match. That is how much she sees Nakajima as a threat to her.
DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2024”, 21/07/2024
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan
1. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Masato Tanaka
2. Dramatic Dream Match: El Desperado Vs Chris Brookes
3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino (c) Vs Go Shiozaki & Atsushi Kotoge
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs MAO
Earlier today Chris Brookes was one of several DDT wrestlers who were part of El Desperado’s invitational show (I’ll write a post about the show this evening). Brookes got on the microphone after his match to talk to Desperado who was at the commentary booth. He said they’ve known each other for years now but have never been in a match together. So he challenged him to a match at DDT’s Sumo Hall show next month!
