Just as quick as it started, MatchMake & Agent Pro Wrestling has already come to an end. Sanshiro Takagi kicked off the show with a big announcement regarding the future of this spin-off project that was made to celebrate his 30 years in the business. The announcement is today’s the final M&A show! He assured everyone this decision is not for any kind of troubling reason. Takagi is going to continue booking these kind of shows but he decided to give them a makeover. The 19th August show that was meant to be an M&A event is now the debut of Super Japan Pro Wrestling! The name was originally one of the options to call DDT when it launched way back in 1997. It was NOSAWA Rongai who suggested “Cho Nippon Pro Wrestling” because every wrestling promotion at the time was called ___ Japan Pro Wrestling. Takagi rejcted it, leading to Dramatic Dream Team being chosen instead. But since multiverses are all the rage nowadays, Takagi wants to imagine what it would be like if Super Japan was the name chosen over DDT.
The main event of what is now the last M&A show had Yuji Nagata from New Japan facing Ken Ohka from Ganbare☆Pro in what was a dream match for Ohka. He used Headbutts to fight against Nagata’s kicks and chops then used the Flame Spear for a nearfall. Nagata fought back with an Exploder Suplex, Middle Kicks and the Back Drop Hold to get the three count. After the match Ohka said he had watched Nagata on TV for years and here he is standing in front of him. But Ohka knew that he couldn’t win with admiration so he fought as hard as he could. He asked Nagata to give him encouragement so he can continue wrestling for another five years and become strong enough to some day beat him. Nagata praised Ohka for having soul and told him a truly strong person is someone who can get up on their own even when they lose. Ohka is already a strong person so Nagata told him to work harder to get even stronger. He then slapped Ohka across the face and promised him they can have a rematch in five years time.
Before the show could end, Takagi came back out to talk to Nagata. He told everyone that Nagata is going to be the ace of Super Japan! Not only that but there are some people in the back who would love to team up with him. Out came The Brahman Brothers! They asked Nagata to team up with them on 19th August to give everyone an exciting match. They even said they want to do it Blue Justice style while he can become Brahman Yuji! Nagata apologetically turned them down and left the ring. The Brahmans chased after him to reconsider while Takagi told the fans to please wait for an official decision in the future.
Muscle Sakai had a lot of thoughts on his mind going into today’s show. He was here to say goodbye to everyone because Suwama was about to destroy him. After coming off an historic one match show where he as Super Sasadango Machine defended the DDT Extreme Title against Toru Yano, he was now being booked to fight Suwama only because Takagi thinks they have similar looking faces. He has no ideas and is entering the match empty handed. But when he and Suwama fought their way up to the entrance stage, Sasadango suddenly appeared shouting like Takagi usually does! He attacked Suwama and even brought out the Dramatic Dream bike to crash it into him. Suddenly Suwama’s music started playing and Sakai reappeared wearing a homemade Suwama costume! The two Suwamas teamed up on “Sasadango” until the fake Suwama hit the real one with a Lariat by mistake. The real Suwama hit back with a Lariat and then gave Sakai the Back Drop to get the pin.
After the match Suwama unmasked “Sasadango” to show it was indeed Takagi underneath. Takagi said it was all Sakai’s idea so Suwama should get mad at him. Sakai was surprised to find out he survived the match and told Suwama he passed his test. He explained he’s been looking for a new master to learn from after being under Takagi’s tutelage for many years. Sakai is currently a freelancer so he asked Suwama if he could join Pro Wrestling Evolution as their third super heavyweight wrestler? Suwama said no and told Sakai that the Sasadango mask suits him better. Takagi asked Suwama to reconsider because this was the final MatchMake & Agent show and advised Sakai to write up a proper resume. Suwama agreed and ordered Sakai to get all of his documents in order, then he will consider it.
The Brahman Brothers crossed paths with somebody who may just be as crazy as they are. No, not Antonio Honda but Rika Tatsumi! The match quickly transformed into a massive water fight throughout the venue. Back in the ring The Brahmans did their bowling ball and suitcase spot with Tatsumi taking the brunt of the damage. But she got her own back by doing the same spot to them. Brahman Kei grabbed Honda so Brahman Shu could hit him with a traffic sign but Tatsumi blocked it by choking him. She then grabbed the sign but when she swung it at her opponent, Honda got hit instead. The Brahmans then got rid of Tatsumi and used the Gotai Fumanzoku to pin Honda.
Yoshiko Hasegawa’s retirement road reunited her with Momo Kohgo resulting in a rare Tokyo Joshi Pro Vs Stardom singles match. But the focus was more on the two’s history with each other going back to Actwres girl’Z. Hasegawa kept trying to put Kohgo in the Muffler Hold but in the end Kohgo pinned her with the Nectar Peach for the victory. She thanked Hasegawa for choosing her for one of her last remaining matches before retirement. She also thanked Takagi for putting the match together and Taro Okada for permitting it to happen. She then talked about her history with Yoppy up to when they went their seperate ways and how they would go eat ramen together on their way home. Yoppy joked about how they would always get told off in the dressing room for being clumsy and they would talk to each other about it on the train ride home. She thanked Stardom and TJPW for watching over her retirement road then told Kohgo they should go eat ramen together again.
The always long-lasting entrance of Kuroshio TOKYO Japan led to a split of opinion on the other team. Munenori Sawa enjoyed it and was having fun while Mio Shirai got sick of it to the point she got on the microphone to complain. She eventually convinced the sound team to cut the music so the match could start. Her grumpy attitude also made Momoka Hanazono upset. She started crying when Shirai stopped her from using her bubble toy as a weapon. Both Kuroshio and Sawa tried to step in but Shirai got angry at them too, causing the two men to also start crying. That caused all three of them to team up against Shirai until Hanazono accidentally hit Sawa with the bubble toy. The match continued normal from there and Hanazono used the bubble toy once more, hitting Shirai with it so Kuroshio could reverse her Rolling Cradle pin and steal the victory.
The opening match between Shota and Fuminori Abe had the two switch to a more classic style of wrestling in order to out-do one another. Abe got the upper hand and repositioned himself from a Roll Up to pin Shota with a German Suplex.
At the end of the show Takagi announced the very first match for Super Japan’s debut show on 19th August. He invited MIKAMI down to the ring and reminded fans he is one of DDT’s founding members. Takagi wants to rewrite history by putting MIKAMI in Super Japan’s first match and his opponent will be TAKA Michinoku! MIKAMI congratulated Takagi on finally launching Super Japan and said he himself has a deep bond with Michinoku because they are both turning 52 this year. He is going to go back to basics for this match and start again from scratch.

1. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 2: X Vs X
2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 2: X Vs X
Earlier today Rise Shirai brought the eight remaining wrestlers in the Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League together to take part in a draw to determine who faces who in Round 2. The winners of these four matches will qualify for the actual Princess Cup, filling in the four remaining spots. The lottery came up with these four matches:
-. Moka Miyamoto Vs Kaya Toribami
-. Haru Kazashiro Vs Ivy Steele
-. Wakana Uehara Vs Shino Suzuki
-. Pom Harajuku Vs HIMAWARI
It has not been decided yet which matches will take place when. Two will be held at the 5th July show in Yokahama Radiant Hall and the remaining two takes place in Shinjuku FACE on 8th July. The match placements will take the rest of the show cards into consideration. For example maybe Moka Miyamoto will have another match with Suzume in Yokohama to build up their upcoming title match so that would mean Miyamoto’s qualifier against Kaya Toribami would have to take place in Shinjuku.

Well, Yoshiko Hasegawa said she wanted to fight everyone in Tokyo Joshi Pro before she retires so TJPW made sure nobody will be left out of her final match. It is a 1 Vs 27 Handicap Match but only one person on the team of 27 is allowed in the ring at one time and tags are in effect. It has not been decided yet how many falls the match will consist of. One definitely won’t be enough and previous retirement matches of this scale have done three falls.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “QUERI PRESENTS TJPW LIVE IN HOUSTON – NIGHT 2”, 11/07/2025 POST, Houston, Texas, USA
An extra name has been added to the Texas tour. Wakana Uehara will be part of the weekend and there might be a good reason why. All of a sudden Miyu Yamashita is no longer able to perform on the 11th July show. That just so happens to be the same day as the next Ring Of Honor PPV and she has started appearing on their shows again. I mean it’s either that or she’s taking a flight to Tennessee for Smackdown (I kid, I kid). Yamashita will still be at the morning fan event in Houston.
DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2025 IN SHINJUKU – DAY 1”, 15/07/2025 Shinjuku FACE
1. DDT Extreme Title: To-y (c) Vs Hikaru Sato
The new DDT Extreme Champion put up a poll on Twitter asking fans who he should defend the title against first? To-y narrowed the choices down to wrestlers who have at least 5,000 followers and made fans choose between Yasu Urano, Kentaro Hachisu, Hikaru Sato and Mikiya Sasaki (with Shota in his corner). Sato won the vote pretty handily so he gets the title match. It wouldn’t be the first time a fan vote results in Sato winning a DDT championship.
DDT “CHARISMANIA II”, 18/06/2025 Shinjuku FACE ??? Fans – Unannounced
1. ~20 Years Of Promise~: Yasu Urano defeated Naohiro Katsumi by Referee Stoppage (5:26).
2. LUCHA LIBRE WORLD WIDE: Ilusion & Sangre Azteca Jr. defeated El Pantera Jr. & Sumicaras when Ilusion pinned Sumicaras with a School Boy (11:14).
3. Brahman Brothers Vs Dirty Cops: Brahman Shu, Brahman Kei & Brahman Ueno defeated Takayuki Ueki, Akito & Mataro when Shu, Kei & Ueno pinned Mataro after a Dessert Attack (12:49).
4. BIG BOYS BURGER: MJ Paul & Minoru Fujita defeated So Daimonji & Ryoma Tsukamoto when Paul pinned Tsukamoto with the Reverse Splash (14:01).
5. Hardcore Match: Isami Kodaka defeated Hideki Okatani with the Isamiashi Zan (12:21).
6. GREATEST WRESTLING MATCH EVER: Dick Togo defeated Daisuke Sasaki with a Knuckle Part (23:33).
Last November Daisuke Sasaki held the first “CHARISMANIA” and fought Dick Togo in a tag team main event. Sasaki won the match but Togo was not involved in the fall so Sasaki challenged him to a singles match. Togo promised to do it once he turned 60 years old but Sasaki convinced him to do it a lot sooner. At the time Sasaki wanted the match to happen in November for his 40th birthday but even that turned out to be too long a wait. “CHARISMANIA II” was booked for June and the match needed to happen there. After receiving bouquets from members of the rock band HEAD PHONES PRESIDENT, Sasaki and Togo battled it out for almost 25 minutes. There was a little bit of everything involved ending with Togo getting the upper hand. He escaped from La Mistica Crossface Lock, gave Sasaki the Pedigree and followed up with the Diving Senton. Sasaki kicked out of it and got back to his feet but was pretty much a dead man standing. Togo knocked him down with a Knuckle Punch and pinned him clean for the three count.
Sasaki said after the match it wasn’t supposed to be like this but everyone could see he was completely defeated by his master. He asked Togo to give him another match in five years time and then he’ll be able to finally surpass him. Togo said that is too early so he will give him ten. He’ll be older then but so will Sasaki. Togo also promised he will never stop evolving. Sasaki needs to remember that. When he left Sasaki then revealed he was going to announce his 20th Anniversary show happening at Korakuen Hall on 2nd October is he had won today. He announced it anyway. The show will also feature a live concert by HEAD PHONES PRESIDENT. He promised there will be a lot of big names involved. He gave out hints like X, Y, Z, Alpha, Beta, Omega and so on.
Hideki Okatani’s return to hardcore wrestling saw him face Isami Kodaka in a car crash of a match featuring chairs, ladders, trash cans and tables. Kodaka laid a ladder on top of Okatani and did the Diving Double Knee Drop with chairs onto it. He then gave Okatani a Brainbuster onto an open chair. Okatani kicked out of the pin but was down and out after taking the Isamiashi Zan. Kodaka said it was a Hardcore Match the likes of which he hadn’t experienced before. He came out of the match with blood flowing from his chin so he’ll have to get revenge on Okatani for that somewhere down the line. Okatani said he had so much fun doing this kind of match again despite losing. If Kodaka is offering him a rematch then he will take it just to taste his blood again!
So Daimonji showed some power by being able to carry MJ Paul & Minoru Fujita at the same time. Those two had to isolate Ryoma Tsukamoto in order to win the match.
A new member of The Brahman Brothers showed up, looking kind of familiar. Nobody could guess how dangerous Brahman Ueno could be so Mataro stepped up to him. He was quickly overpowered so needed the cops Takayuki Ueki & Akito to come save him. Mataro retreated only to return later dressed as a Dirty Cop! He injected himself with a syringe to the head and had the power to fight off everyone who stood in his way, freind or foe. He then stuck a piece of tuna to his head using wasabi and Ueki tried to force Ueno to eat it. When that didn’t work Mataro made Ueki & Akito form something like a Hell Gate in the corner. But The Brahmans blinded him with powder and threw him into the Hell Gate instead of Ueno. Mataro fainted after that an all three opponents pinned him to win.
Ilusion couldn’t tell who Sumicaras was under the plastic bag mask and had to ask him if he was Japanese? Sumicaras told him he doesn’t know in response. Their tag match ended when Sangre Azteca Jr. unmasked Pantera Jr. and Ilusion unmasked Sumicaras, revealing it was Kazuma Sumi all along. Azteca then gave Sumi a Low Blow and Ilusion rolled him up with a School Boy to get the win. The then ripped up the Sumicaras mask/bag to celebrate their victory.
The opening match was called off early when Naohiro Katsumi injured himself. He hit Yasu Urano with a Forearm Strike with his right arm and then grabbed his wrist in pain. Tomomitsu Matsunaga was the ref and he quickly called for the bell after checking on Katsumi, rewarding Urano with a TKO win.

Takeru Inoue is back from his dislocated right elbow injury. If he beats the new president Ryota Nakatsu it could immediately launch him into getting the Union MAX Title shot at Korakuen Hall later this year.
1. Special Single Match: Mr. Bueno Vs Dark King Ueki
2. Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda Vs Munek & Ram Kaichow
3. King Of Square: MAO Vs X
4. BK-G Openweight Title: Mr. Malo (c) Vs X
Another BK-G Openweight Title defence is coming up for Mr. Malo but he won’t know who his challenger is until they show up. In a similar bit, MAO is also going to face a mystery wrestler to prove who is the most square shaped fighter around. I heard rumours that Dr. Cube was spotted somewhere in Japan causing fights in bars over the weekend but it just turned out to be Zack Sabre Jr. in disguise.
We’re going to see what it’s like for Ram Kaichow to fight under the control of Dark King Ueki and Munek. She’s been able to wrestle in other places pretty normally (if what she does can be called normal) ever since they trapped her soul, to the point that until she saw the match announcement she forgot she’s supposed to be on their side. Must be pretty relaxing when you forget you’re supposed to be someone’s prisoner.

BASARA “BASARA 281 ~OJI NI KITSUNE 29~”, 15/06/2025 Shin-Kiba 1st RING
1. Martial Arts Health Army Vs Sports Fighting Army: X Vs X
An argument between Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi and Takato Nakano became the inspiration for BASARA’s next team challenge show. Hiroshi thinks martial arts is the best way to stay healthy while Nakano believes other forms of sport is the better way.

A tag team battle of some big boys is the final match added to “CHARISMANIA II”. One team is MJ Paul & Minoru Fujita representing DAMNATION T.A. Their opponents are the two freelancers So Daimonji & Ryoma Tsukamoto.
1. Daiki Shimomura & Takato Nakano Vs Thanomsak Toba & Tyson “Ultimate” Maeguchi
2. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA (c) Vs Lil’ Kraken & Akira Jo
It’s looking like a new group has formed in BASARA, one with a bond as thick as blood. Lil’ Kraken claims that he is part of a Super Family with Akira Jo, Minoru Fujita & SAGAT. He & Jo will be challenging Hyakusho Ikki for the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles. The champs apparently have Ayumu Honda joining their side but he is not booked for this show.
Tyson Maeguchi is living up to his promise of becoming “Ultimate” whenever he will fight with his gloves on. Why else would he be teaming with Thanomsak Toba again?

Four months of recovery time was enough time to keep Yuki Iino away from the ring. He was eager to come back and jumped at the opportunity to team with Yukio Naya so they could challenge Astronauts for the KO-D Tag Team Titles.
Poison Sawada JULIE will be at the show to unveil the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship belt. The second generation belt will continue the long, long, long lineage of the title. JULIE is currently the 1,471st champion as of this post.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25”, 21/07/2025 Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium
1. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Moka Miyamoto
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe
3. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Yuki Arai
Later this month Hyper Misao will be back from injury and just in time too because Kyoraku Kyomei now have their next Princess Tag Team Titles defence on the horizon. Last year when Miu Watanabe and Rika Tatsumi had their match for the Princess Of Princess Title, Tatsumi afterwards said Daydream were done teaming together because she believed Watanabe no longer needed her. Watanabe didn’t agree with that and the team was left in limbo for almost a year. Yesterday the two reunited and denied any claims that Daydream had disbanded. They are as united as ever and will prove it by going after the Princess Tag Titles again.
Will it be third time’s the charm for Moka Miyamoto. She has challenged for the International Princess Title twice and lost both times to Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai. She is giving it another go now that Suzume is the champion and she has a recent pinfall over her that qualifies her for a rightful title shot.

DDT/NJPW “ONE-SIDED MATCH ~SUPER SASADANGO MACHINE VS TORU YANO~”, 09/06/2025 Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. DDT Pro Wrestling x New Japan Pro Wrestling One-Sided Match: Super Sasadango Machine Vs Toru Yano
If you’re wondering how a Super Sasadango Machine Vs Toru Yano match is going to last long enough to sustain a Korakuen Hall show by itself then look no further to the list of special guests who will be attending the event. DDT are sending over MAO, Antonio Honda, Kazuma Sumi, referee Yukinori Matsui and ring announcer Inoue Mic for various roles on the show. New Japan will be sending El Desperado, YOH, Daiki Nagai, referee Kenta Sato and ring announcer Makoto Abe to do the same on their side of the show.

The DDT staff member was humiliated by The Brahmans at last year’s “CHARISMANIA” show so has enlisted the help of Takayuki Ueki & Akito to help him even the score. The move is necessary because there is now a third Brahman Brother on the loose! Brahman Ueno could be anybody…

DDT “CHARISMANIA II”, 18/06/2025 Shinjuku FACE
1. LUCHA LIBRE WORLD WIDE: El Pantera Jr. & Sumicaras Vs Ilusion & Sangre Azteca Jr.
2. ~20 Years Of Promise~: Yasu Urano Vs Naohiro Katsumi
3. GREATEST WRESTLING MATCH EVER: Dick Togo Vs Daisuke Sasaki
A wrestling master facing one of his proteges many years later is always a nice story to have for a match. At the first “CHARISMANIA” show held last year Daisuke Sasaki said he wanted to challenge Dick Togo to a singles match to celebrate his 20th anniversary in wrestling. The two are living up to their promise and doing the match at “CHARISMANIA II”.
This year is also the 20th anniversary of Naohiro Katsumi’s debut in SUPER CREW. He hardly ever wrestles nowadays but reappeared at the first “CHARISMANIA” to face his classmate KUBITO. He returns for the second event this time to wrestle Yasu Urano one on one.
Two second generation luchadors have been booked for the show. Both El Pantera Jr. and Sangre Azteca Jr. are currently having a long stay in Japan to wrestle for Michinoku Pro. More masked wrestlers are involved with the addition of Ilusion and… Sumicaras is back again after his last Beer Garden appearance?

DDT “YOKOHAMA NIGHT SPLASH”, 05/07/2025 Yokohama Radiant Hall
1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion (c) Vs Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada
The next team to challenge DAMNATION T.A for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles is SCHADENFREUDE International. It came about when Takeshi Masada wanted a title shot. Ilusion refused because Masada hadn’t won anything to deserve one but then Ilusion was reminded that he was pinned by Antonio Honda recently. Sasaki has been letting Ilusion speak on behalf of the heel group recently along with making decisions so Ilusion walked into giving SCHADENFREUDE the next title shot. Not sure if Hideki Okatani would have done the same or if he even cares.
