DDT “ROAD TO PETER PAN 2024 TOUR IN SHINJUKU”, 10/07/2024
Shinjuku FACE
308 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Makoto Oishi & Akito defeated Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Akito pinned Hirata with a Gedo Clutch (6:41).
2. Tetsuya Endo, Yukio Naya & Yuya Koroku defeated Jun Akiyama, Soma Takao & Keigo Nakamura when Endo submitted Nakamura with the Yurikamome (10:10).
3. Sanshiro Takagi Indefinite Rest Road ~ Special Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Yuni defeated Dasnhoku Dieno & Kazuma Sumi when Takagi pinned Sumi with an Avalanche-Style Brainbuster (5:36).
4. KANON 5th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: TAKA Michinoku defeated KANON with the Heavy Killer No. 2 (10:12).
5. Special 3 Way Match: HARASHIMA defeated Daisuke Sasaki and Masahiro Takanashi when HARASHIMA pinned Sasaki with the Somato (8:46).
6. Special Single Match: Go Shiozaki defeated Yuki Iino with the Gowan Lariat (15:02).
7. The 37KAMIINA Vs SCHADENFREUDE International?: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated MAO, Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda when To-y pinned Honda with a Frankensteiner (20:30).

So how did it go when MAO teamed up with SCHADENFREUDE International? It was almost flawless. His skills combined with the talents of Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda was almost enough to beat The 37KAMIINA if it wasn’t for one mistake and a little bit of luck at the end. An attack from MAO missed its target and hit Brookes by mistake. Honda tried to take control of things by hitting Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata with Bionic Elbows. He and MAO then teamed up on To-y but To-y captured Honda with a Frankensteiner out of nowhere to get the win. The result continues MAO’s losing streak against The 37KAMIINA since running away from the group. Ueno said the Sumo Hall show is just around the corner and he is really looking forward to defending the KO-D Openweight Title against MAO. They have more prelim matches coming up before then so he will see MAO again this weekend. Backstage MAO described today’s match as him running away from home and stopping by at his friend’s place. He wanted to join the original SCHADENFREUDE unit years ago so today was kind of like his dream coming true. He said no matter what happens, he will have a place to come back to.

If Yuki Iino or Tetsuya Endo want to beat Go Shiozaki today showed they aren’t ready to do it yet. Shiozaki fought Iino in a singles match with Atsushi Kotoge in his corner. Before the show began both teams signed the contract for their KO-D Tag Team Titles match at Sumo Hall. TEAM NOAH said they are going to show their strength and win the belts. Endo dismissed Kotoge and said he is only interested in getting the fall on Shiozaki. In the singles match Iino and Shiozaki fought around the room hitting each other with Chops, Lariats and Spears. Iino reached his limit first and Shiozaki pinned him with the Gowan Lariat. Then after the match Kotoge knocked down Endo with a Headbutt! He doesn’t like the smack talk Endo has been giving him so at Sumo Hall it will be Kotoge and not Shiozaki who will score the fall on Endo. The two teams got into another scuffle backstage.

HARASHIMA won the 3 Way Match, scoring the pinfall on Daisuke Sasaki with the Somato. Smile Squash then went and got their KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title belts back. However during the fight KANON was able to steal back one of the belts from Yasu Urano so the champions do not have their complete set back yet. HARASHIMA promised his team will definitely have all three belts back in time for Sumo Hall so they can put together a great entrance. Backstage KANON warned reminded everyone he has a singles match against HARASHIMA coming up this Sunday. Sasaki complained about the “orange, alcoholic bastard” Masahiro Takanashi getting in the way a lot during the 3 Way.

KANON was given a match against his mentor TAKA Michinoku to celebrate the 5th Anniversary of his debut. The match was mostly Michinoku in control but KANON had some close calls. He countered the Michinoku Driver but was then rolled up into the Heavy Killer No. 2 cradle to lose by pinfall. Backstage Michinoku said he remembered teaming with KANON for his 4th Anniversary last year so was happy to have a singles match against him this time around. He is interested to see if KANON can move up to the top spot in DDT and challenge for the KO-D Title. He also promoted JTO’s 5th Anniversary show taking place next week. KANON promised to pay him back for today at that show.

Yesterday Danshoku Dieno successfully pulled off a plan to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Funky Kato but that only made him a target for his opponents and also his tag partner today. Kazuma Sumi quickly tried to pin Dieno for the title even though they were teaming together to fight Sanshiro Takagi & Yuni. It got so bad that Sumi stopped Dieno from giving Takagi the Danshoku Driver. Takagi then tricked Sumi into working together only for Takagi to give him a Superplex for the win. Takagi does not know why Dieno went through the trouble to become the Iron Man Champion but he ordered him not to lose the title until their match at Sumo Hall so he can win it in his last match! Yuni and Sumi then started arguing because Sumi has a singles match against Takagi coming up but Yuni does not. Then Keigo Nakamura and To-y entered the ring also demanding to fight Takagi in a match. Takagi decided he will fight all of them and also Takeshi Masada in a 5-Vs-1 match on 13th July. Each opponent will get to wrestle him for two minutes each. If any of them can beat Takagi in that time he will raise their pay!

Today was Nakamura’s birthday so he wanted to be the “main character” of his match. For that reason he held back from tagging in either Jun Akiyama or Soma Takao even when it was right to do so. He also asked Akiyama for a birthday gift and got one in the form of Akiyama giving Endo the Exploder Suplex so Nakamura could pin him. He then went for the Diving Headbutt but Endo dodged it and grabbed him in the Yurikamome submission hold. The birthday boy had no choice but to give up.

Toru Owashi wrestled in Dragongate during the week and was eager to show off his lucha skills in the opening match here. Kazuki Hirata also wanted to dance but Akito refused. He eventually got everyone including Makoto Oishi to dance together. Akito then ended up catching Hirata in a Gedo Clutch to get the win.

It was announced during the show that the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere concept will return on 2nd August. There will be three different matches with Right To Challenge prizes on the line on that day.

DDT “ROAD TO PETER PAN 2024 TOUR IN ODAWARA” Results

July 7, 2024

DDT “NIPPON CHALLENGED WRESTLING ASSOCIATION CHARITY BOX OFFICE ~ ROAD TO PETER PAN 2024 TOUR IN ODAWARA”, 07/07/2024
Kanagawa Odawara Arena Sub Arena
659 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Daisuke Sasaki & KANON defeated Soma Takao & Makoto Oishi when KANON submitted Oishi with the Cobra Twist (9:16).
2. DAC Presents Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada defeated Keigo Nakamura & Yuki Ishida when Masada pinned Ishida with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (10:26).
3. “Odawara City Tourism PR Character” Umemaru Pro Wrestling Debut Match: Umemaru (w/ Martin), Akito & Yuni Vs Pokotan, Antonio Honda & Kazuma Sumi when Umemaru pinned Pokotan with a Body Press (11:07).
4. Special Single Match: Aja Kong defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Uraken (7:10).
5. Sanshiro Takagi Indefinite Rest Road ~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Yoshiaki Yatsu & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan defeated Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku when Kuroshio pinned Koroku with the Moonsault Press (13:39).
6. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Yukio Naya with the Somato (14:20).
7. The 37KAMIINA Vs. D.O.A?: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated MAO, Jun Akiyama & Danshoku Dieno when Katsumata pinned Dieno with the Totonou Splash (21:09).

Next stop for MAO is D.O.A as he continues his choice to fight against his friends in The 37KAMIINA rather than team with them. Things went a little better today compared to yesterday. He pushed Yuki Ueno face first into Danshoku Dieno’s Hell Gate but Ueno later got his own back by throwing MAO into Dieno’s Lip Lock. MAO was so dazed by the move he fell and landed head first into Dieno’s groin. The damage to Dieno was so great it left him a sitting duck for Shunma Katsumata’s Totonou Splash. Ueno said that MAO is a great partner for anyone but he shines brightest when he is with The 37KAMIINA. However MAO thinks he is learning from teaming with other units in the run up to Sumo Hall.

The show was part of Yoshiaki Yatsu’s charity work with the Nippon Challenged Wrestling Association, or NCWA for short. In his match Yatsu was able to give Tetsuya Endo the Bulldog Headlock as well as the Prison Lock. Sanshiro Takagi and Kuroshio TOKYO Japan also did their part so their team could beat BURNING.

There was a sponsor for Match #4 who presented Aja Kong with a special 18L steel can. Because it was such an important gift, Yukinori Matsui permitted her to use it as a weapon against Kazuki Hirata because it would be rude to stop her. After she won the match Katsumata and To-y bragged about how unbeatable the three of them are going to be in the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match on 21st July. Kong told Katsumata that when they win the titles, he has to carry her around like a princess. This is in reference to a picture of Kong carrying Katsumata from a few years ago.

The debut match for Odawara’s local mascot Umemaru begun without him because he was late to the venue. When he finally arrived he was out of energy and deflated in front of everyone. However he was able to recover and continue the match, winning by getting the pinfall on Pokotan.

Former Michinoku Pro and ZERO1 wrestler Naohiro Hoshikawa was in attendance for the show. He is wheelchair bound due to injuries but he was able to approach the ringside apron and greet the audience.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2024 IN UENO” Results

July 5, 2024

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2024 IN UENO”, 05/07/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
630 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Kazuki Hirata & Kazuma Sumi defeated Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Ilusion when Hirata pinned Ilusion with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (9:18).
2. Positive Thinking Death Match: HARASHIMA, Keigo Nakamura & Yuki Ishida defeated Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi when Akiyama called Nakamura “Smelly” (10:58).
3. No DQ I Quit Match: Antonio Honda defeated Invisible Leonardo DiCaprio when DiCaprio said “I Quit (9:52).
4. Sanshiro Takagi Indefinite Rest Road ~ Unagi Warriors Vs Brahman Brothers! Falls Count Anywhere Tag Match: Sanshiro Unagi & Sayaka Unagi Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei ended in a No Contest (13:25).
5. Mid-Summer Ueno Onshi Specialty! DDT Summer Special Match: Chris Brookes, Takeshi Masada & Yukio Naya defeated Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku when Naya pinned Koroku with the Choke Slam into the Pool (18:31).
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs DAMNATION T.A?: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated MAO, Daisuke Sasaki & KANON (w/ MJ Paul) when Ueno pinned MAO with the Jul.2 (16:52).

MAO has ran away from The 37KAMIINA and decided to try out teaming with DDT’s other units in the leadup to “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2024”. First on his list is DAMNATION T.A and he even came to the show dressed like they do. However DAMNATION T.A weren’t enthusiastic about the idea until MAO offered them money to team with him. The loyalty didn’t last though. Daisuke Sasaki brought in a chair and accidentally hit MAO with it when Yuki Ueno dodged out of the way. Then KANON hit MAO with a Lariat that definitely wasn’t accidental. DAMNATION T.A decided to leave MAO high and dry for The 37KAMIINA to beat and then briefly returned to attack MAO once more. Ueno told MAO after the match that he can’t help him if he wants to run away from home. MAO is upset over what happened but is determined to stick to this path so he can beat Ueno for the KO-D Openweight Title at Sumo Hall.

Match #5 was given a summer theme with everybody wearing summer outfits and using summer related items as weapons. Yuya Koroku got the wrong message and wore a school swimsuit that he was too big for. Yuki Iino had a kendo stick and acted like a swimming instructor. Tetsuya Endo chased after Takeshi Masada with a stag beetle. Chris Brookes brought a watermelon for everyone to break open except he accidentally smashed it over Yukio Naya’s head. Buckets of water was thrown at everybody and Naya Choke Slammed Koroku into a kiddie pool to win the match for his team.

The match before that was even more of a mess thanks to who was involved. The Brahman Brothers soaked the place in water by throwing buckets, pouring bottles and spraying hoses at whoever was in front of them. The audience especially. The Unagi Warriors decided to fight water with water against them which only caused more of a mess. Soon the poor referee was doused in unagi sauce and other material that the match had to be called off and be ruled a No Contest. After the match Sayaka Unagi told Sanshiro Unagi they can team again some day but only after he pays her all the money he made from copying her likeness. Takagi agreed to talk with her lawyer about it. He then admitted to selling a lot of Unagi merchandise today so she demanded even more royalties from him.

In a battle of the ages Antonio Honda defeated Invisible Leonardo DiCaprio in an I Quit Match. Danshoku Dieno and Hisaya Imabayashi provided commentary at ringside for those who could not comprehend the ferocious action they were witnessing. Honda threw DiCaprio up to the ceiling with a Super Body Slam but then missed the Diving Fist Drop. Suddenly Honda was given a flash of inspiration from the famous Akira Maeda Vs Don Nakaya Nielsen fight and “Captured” played over the speakers. Honda grabbed DiCaprio in a Half Crab Hold and got him to say “I Quit”.

There was concerns that the hot weather would make some of the wrestlers grumpy so Match #2 was turned into a Positive Thinking Death Match. If anyone started to complain or say anything negative then their team would be disqualified. It forced the wrestlers to make nice and complimentary comments about all of the moves being given to them. The match ended when Jun Akiyama threw Keigo Nakamura into Dieno’s Hell Gate. Akiyama then complained about the area being stinky and that was enough to get his team disqualified.

After that match ended, DAMNATION T.A ran in to attack HARASHIMA and Yasu Urano. They also stole the third remaining KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title belt. So now they have the complete set of belts despite not being the champions. Urano complained that there’s no point in DAMNATION T.A holding the belts if they are not the champions. He believes being the actual champion is more valuable than having posession of the belt. HARASHIMA wants the belts returned to them so Smile Squash can have a great entrance at Sumo Hall. He and Urano agree they’re not going to attack them before the match though.

Shinichiro Kawamatsu got booed for preventing Kazuki Hirata from putting on the Hirata GO! glasses and deciding to put them on himself. The wrestlers go thirsty during the match and Kazuma Sumi drank all of the water that was provided for them. He brought out orange juice instead and everyone fought over it. Kawamatsu accidentally Speared Ilusion during the fight and Hirata pinned Ilusion with the Miracle One Shot Cradle for the win.

During the intermission, Ryuichi Kawakami crashed the show and entered the ring. He was recently a GLEAT wrestler until a few days ago when his contract was terminated over him blowing up the company president during an exploding death match. Now a freelancer, he goes by the name of Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami and he wants to know if DDT has the guts to book him. Imabayashi informed him the Sumo Hall card is finalized so so he will have to wait until the shows after that to get booked by them. Kawakami threatened to blow up Imabayashi until Naya got in the ring and confronted him. Kawakami left but later told reporters that as a freelancer he can do whatever he wants and bring along whoever he wants. He mentioned Atsushi Onita and The Great Kojika as examples of who he could team with. He also said he could even turn up to a place that has an ark or a lion mark.

Takeshi Masada has been appointed as a model for Bodix bodywear as part of a new collaboration between the company and DDT.

MAO Runs Away From The 37KAMIINA, Full Cards For Summer Sun Princess And Wrestler Peter Pan

July 1, 2024

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2024 IN UENO”, 05/07/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Kazuki Hirata & Kazuma Sumi Vs Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Ilusion
2. Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi Vs HARASHIMA, Keigo Nakamura & Yuki Ishida
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku Vs Chris Brookes, Takeshi Masada & Yukio Naya
4. No DQ I Quit Match: Antonio Honda Vs Invisible Leonardo DiCaprio
5. Special Tag Match ~ Unagi Warriors Vs Brahman Brothers!: Sanshiro Unagi & Sayaka Unagi Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei
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.

DDT “ROAD TO PETER PAN 2024 TOUR IN ODAWARA”, 07/07/2024
Kanagawa Odawara Arena Sub Arena

1. Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Keigo Nakamura & Yuki Ishida
2. Daisuke Sasaki & KANON Vs Soma Takao & Makoto Oishi
3. Odawara City Tourism PR Character Umemaru Pro Wrestling Debut Match: Umemaru, Akito & Yuni Vs Pokotan, Antonio Honda & Kazuma Sumi
4. The 37KAMIINA Vs. D.O.A?: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs MAO, Jun Akiyama & Danshoku Dieno
5. Special Single Match: Aja Kong Vs Kazuki Hirata
6. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA Vs Yukio Naya
7. Sanshiro Takagi Indefinite Rest Road ~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Yoshiaki Yatsu & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan Vs Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku

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.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’24”, 20/07/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Wakana Uehara, Toga & Runa Okubo Vs HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Haru Kazashiro

4. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Yuna Manase, Mahiro Kiryu & Kaya Toribami
5. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Nao Kakuta
6. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Mizuki & Emi Sakura
7. Special Single Match: Aja Kong Vs Shoko Nakajima
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Suzume & Arisu Endo (c) Vs Yuki Arai & Moka Miyamoto
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi

This is the complete lineup and match order for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’24”. The show has Emi Sakura, Mei Suruga and Yuna Manase calling by for some standout matches on the undercard. Sakura is teaming with Mizuki after they were opponents at “GRAND PRINCESS ’24” back in March. Together they take on 121000000. Suruga meets Uta Takami for the first time. She might end up reacting to Takami the same way everyone else reacts to her.

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.

DDT “TODEN PRO WRESTLING” Results

*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!

Gaia Hox is getting a big match against FUMA.

First it was Judo Master 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.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Nao Kakuta
2. Special Single Match: Aja Kong Vs Shoko Nakajima
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Suzume & Arisu Endo (c) Vs Yuki Arai & Moka Miyamoto
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.

BASARA “BASARA 254 ~ICHIMIDOUSHIN~”, 04/08/2024

DDT “SANSHIRO TAKAGI VS SUPER SASADANGO MACHINE ONE MATCH EVENT” Results

June 26, 2024

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!

A busy week for Sanshiro Takagi. He has the wrestling match in a tram with Minoru Suzuki happening a few days later.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “PRECIOUS TIME ’24”, 29/06/2024
Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel Club eX

1. Haru Kazashiro Vs Chika Nanase
2. Wakana Uehara Vs Uta Takami
3. Maki Itoh Vs Runa Okubo
4. Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu & Kira Summer Vs Raku, Pom Harajuku & HIMAWARI
5. Miyu Yamashita & Toga Vs Mizuki & Shino Suzuki
6. Miu Watanabe, Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Rika Tatsumi, Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami
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.

7. Sanshiro Takagi Indefinite Rest Road ~ Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Yoshiaki Yatsu & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan Vs Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku

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.
