The pressure is getting to Fuminori Abe. He even admits it himself. There was a contract signing at the start of the show for his KO-D Openweight Title match against MAO. Abe joked that earlier in the day he took an interview about the match, went to use the restroom and ended up accidentally soiling himself. It makes him wonder if MAO is triggering something deep within his psyche because this happened and there was also that time MAO made him throw up during a match. MAO got one over on Abe again in the main event but he can thank Yuki Iino for that. Iino charged across the ring with HARASHIMA on his back to throw a Lariat at Abe while Abe held MAO in the Manjigatame. The Lariat hit its target and MAO cradled Abe over to pin him for the three count. Abe doesn’t like to lose but he has his heart set on forging his own path. He told MAO if he was to beat him for the KO-D Title on 21st September then things would get really chaotic in DDT! After he left, MAO talked about Iino and how he wished they would have teamed up more in Strange Love Connection. If Iino ever wins the GHC Heavyweight Title then MAO will keep a close eye on him because Iino will always be born and raised in DDT.
Soma Takao rediscovered his old self when teaming up with Daisuke Sasaki for one last time. He wore an original DAMNATION shirt instead of a Dropkick Bar shirt and wrestled the match like a heel.
A new match has been put together for “ULTIMATE PARTY 2026” based around the D GENERATIONS wrestlers. To-y & Kaisei Takechi are going to join forces to take on KANON & Kumadori! That Takechi and Kumadori both have street dancing backgrounds is an element that Kumadori is excited about. Takechi however pointed out he’s been dancing since he was two years old so he has the edge over his masked opponent. To-y wanted to fit is so he bragged about playing football since he was three and even went to college for it. He quit the team after just a week but forget about that. To-y wants to call himself and Takechi Team RAMPAGE but Takechi immdiately turned that down. To-y then suggested the name T2K2 but the reaction from everyone was luke warm at best. He’ll go think up of a better name but he would like to stick with T2K2.
The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title saw some action in the middle of the show. Shunma Katsumata gave Kumadori a Low Blow after the 4 Way Tag and pinned him to win the belt. Then while Katsumata was taunting Kumadori, Masami Inahata rolled him up from behind to become the new champ. Earlier in the show Ilusion lost the Anytime, Anywhere, Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet to Viento Levante but he got to leave Shinjuku FACE with something when he tripped over Inahata at the end of the show and pinned him to win the Iron Man Title once more.

Niigata is the home of Super Sasadango Machine so he’s getting a big match for DDT’s return to the area. This time he’s facing HARASHIMA one on one. The two have some history together. Mainly 12 years ago when Sasadango originally created the Vertical Drop Lehman Shock as the finisher that was guaranteed to beat HARASHIMA for the KO-D Title… if he was able to hit it three times in their match. His plan didn’t work back then.

It was a match held under normal rules and Watase was able to beat Kasai to remain as champion. His next challenger has already been determined. Yumehito Imanari is turning 41 years old at this show and demanded he face the champion here so he can win the title on his birthday!
The regional battles waging within Ganbare☆Pro are continuing with the Toyama wrestlers now attracting the attention of wrestlers associated with the Naka Ward in Yokohama. Shuichiro Katsumura has drafted in Minoru Fujita to help him out and has another person on the way over to fight Ohka’s team of Toyama boys.

Over the weekend Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed became the No. 1 Contenders for the Princess Tag Team Titles. This is going to be the second time Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro are challenging for the titles together. Aino was half-responsible for ending Daydream’s first reign as champs at the very first “WRESTLE PRINCESS” back in 2020. Can she do it again with Kazashiro this time or will Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi prevent history from repeating itself.
The participants for the 3 Way Tag Match will be revealed soon, maybe even by the time I post this update.
Yeah, that’s a random 6-Person Tag Match they’ve added in there.

Look it’s pro wrestling, retirements and final matches do not matter. So here’s another Crocodile Death Match. Let’s hope Daisuke Sasaki doesn’t lose his composure over past crocodile related trauma right before it takes place again.
With Soma Takao leaving soon, all of the Dropkick Bar wrestlers want to send him off with their own version of the Drunk Match.
Both Shunma Katsumata and Yuya Koroku are going back in time to their rookie forms to relive their debut matches.

Shinjuku FACE
1. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Wakana Uehara
Kamiyu’s last singles match of the month is against her Ober Eats partner, Wakana Uehara. As the days count down toward her retirement it will soon be time to wonder what her final match is going to be. Maybe TJPW will put on one of their wacky Gauntlet or Rumble matches so she gets to fight everybody in short bursts one last time each.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”, 03/10/2026

At this point in her career, Nakajima has become an accomplished wrestler who has competed worldwide and is ready to be tested by whoever TJPW or SETUP can find.
DDT “NANIWA PRO WRESTLING ROAD 2026”, 04/10/2026
Osaka City Higashiyodogawa Ward Kumin Hall
1. Naomi Yoshimura 10th Anniversary Debut Match ~ Special Single Match: Zeus Vs Naomi Yoshimura
A few weeks back Naomi Yoshimura let everyone know that he asked DDT for to book a particular opponent for his 10th Anniversary match scheduled for October. DDT honored his request and it’s now been revealed his opponent is going to be Zeus! The Osaka strongman was the person who originally opened the doors for Yoshimura to get into pro wrestling through his bodybuilding gym. When Yoshimura graduated from high school, he trained under Zeus and credits him for turning his dream of becoming a pro wrestler into reality. Zeus has kept himself busy these past few years with running Osaka Pro, the company he was successfully able to revive back in 2022. He doesn’t wrestle outside of his home promotion that often so for DDT to get him on board for a match that means a lot to Yoshimura is quite a big deal.

5. DAMNATION T.A Vs paleyouth!: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi
Next weekend MAO is going home to Miyagi as the KO-D Openweight Champion for the first time! It feels like he’s made that promise several times over the years and now he finally gets to do it. Kaisei Takechi being in the match too might help draw more attention to the main event.
It’s been a while since The Apex had a tag team match without the rest of Strange Love Connection involved. Yuki Iino has a busy NOAH schedule coming up but he and Yukio Naya would be a good KO-D Tag Team Titles defence for Junta Miyawaki to try and achieve with Shinya Aoki somewhere down the line.
DDT “RING NO AKIBASHO 2026”, 09/09/2026

5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs To-y, Kazuma Sumi & Kaisei Takechi
6. Special Tag Match: MAO & Yuki Iino Vs Fuminori Abe & HARASHIMA
The next DDT match for Kumadori is here so it should also turn into a chaotic scramble for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title with all those people in the ring.
Takechi and paleyouth are going to be dealing with each other a lot more with both parties being involved in the revival of Muscle happening later this year.
DDT “YUKI UENO 10TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW -IN MY MIND “10”-”, 13/09/2026

6. Special Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & To-y Vs Chihiro Hashimoto & Kazuma Sumi
7. Yuki Ueno 10th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Shunma Katsumata
There are going to be two DDT shows happening at Korakuen Hall in September. The first is Yuki Ueno’s anniversary show. He’s added a Tag Team Rumble with a lot of mixed up teams in there. Also he figured the best place to put a crazy Falls Count Anywhere match between Minoru Suzuki, Sanshiro Takagi, Chris Brookes, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan and Takeshi Masada is in the pre-show. What is this, an AEW PPV?
DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2026 ~AUTUMN OF PRO WRESTLING~”, 21/09/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion
2. DDT Universal Title: Ryusuke Taguchi (c) Vs Antonio Honda
3. KO-D Openweight Title: MAO (c) Vs Fuminori Abe
MAO is quick to use his KO-D Title reign as something he can settle past grudges with. He has noticed Fuminori Abe has been hanging around the DDT undercard for the last few weeks and he has unfinished business with him. Two years ago MAO and Abe feuded over the DDT Universal Title where the buildup revolved around Abe getting kicked so hard during a match that it made him throw up a little. There’s no worry about that happening again but Abe does consider MAO to be a rival among his generation, one that he must defeat!
The story between Ryusuke Taguchi and Antonio Honda is a little more personal. Taguchi’s son is a fan of Honda’s band so Honda promised to win the Universal Title and pose for a picture with the son! That doesn’t bother Taguchi too much because his son was never interested in taking a picture with his dad holding any of the championships he’s won in the past.

4. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Suzume
Mystery partners are being teased for a 3 Way Tag Match that’s been added to the show. Normally for a big show like this we would get Raku teaming with Ram Kaichow as wife and husband again, Pom Harajuku hanging out with Max The Impaler under the team name Pompaler and Mahiro Kiryu getting into lookalike shenanigans with Kakeru Sekiguchi. Surely it’s not going to be that predictable here, right?

6. DDT Universal Title: Ryusuke Taguchi (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki
7. KO-D Openweight Title: MAO (c) Vs Daichi Sato
The stakes for the match between Shunma Katsumata and Kumadori have suddenly grown higher. Katsumata recently won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title so he now has to defend that belt alongside the DDT Extreme Title. He also decided on the match stipulation where he and Kumadori are not allowed to repeat their moves. The match can be won either under normal circumstances, by throwing your opponent over the top rope out of the ring or if they get disqualified for doing the same move twice. However striking moves are generic enough to not count towards the stipulation so Kumadori can at least rely on punching and kicking to make up for his limited moveset.
The Right To Challenge Gauntlet holders going into this weekend’s show are Chris Brookes (Red) and Antonio Honda (Purple AAAA).

4. Special Tag Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA & To-y Vs Chihiro Hashimoto & Kazuma Sumi
5. Yuki Ueno 10th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Shunma Katsumata
Why did it take seven years to run back Konosuke Takeshita Vs Chihiro Hashimoto? Okay, okay, I know. He’s been busy with AEW and New Japan while every time Hashimoto came to DDT it was to fight either Yuki Iino or Shinya Aoki. But hey we get To-y and Kazuma Sumi get thrown into the mix as well.

6. KING OF “Non-Alcoholic” DRUNK 2026: Danshoku Dieno Vs Takeshi Masada Vs Daichi Sato Vs Yuni
The show is happening (or might even be over) while I type this but this is the only time I have for the next day or two to write a news update without worrying about it getting in the way of other stuff.
The Non-Alcoholic KING OF DRUNK match is going on last for the Beer Garden show? The game’s gone!
For the second time this year Daisuke Sasaki is having trouble sleeping because he’s been thinking about the crocodile incident that took place at Shakujii Park in Nerima back in 1993. He has pulled out of today’s show and DDT have decided to replace him with Crocodile D Sasa.

7. Princess Tag Team Titles Next Challenger Decision Match – 3 Way Tag Match: Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs HIMAWARI & Toga
There is going to be a Princess Tag Team Titles match going on at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII” next month but no clear contenders have emerged due to everybody focusing on the Tokyo Princess Cup. A 3 Way Tag has been put together to solve that problem. Two of the three teams are already established. That’s K!SS// and Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed. The third team are the wild cards of HIMAWARI & Toga, the two young wrestlers who both reached the Princess Cup semi finals this year.
Tokyo Joshi Pro is welcoming another Australian wrestler for a show and she’s already a “Lil” familiar with the brand. Marz is from Brisbane but has been wrestling around the world this year. That includes a tag match she had with Toga in Las Vegas during WrestleMania Week. She’s already in Japan and has been wrestling plenty for Ice Ribbon lately but this is going to be her TJPW debut.

3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, KANON & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi
As promised by Kaisei Takechi, he wants to wrestle more often on DDT shows that are held outside of Tokyo. He also needs to catch up if he wants to reach his goal of total matches wrestled in 2026.
A nice return to DDT is on the cards for Makoto Oishi so he can give Masami Inahata a test in the ring.
DDT “RING NO AKIBASHO 2026”, 09/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE
1. Special Single Match: Viento Levante Vs Ilusion
2. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Soma Takao Vs Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato Vs To-y, Kazuma Sumi & Kaisei Takechi
Over the years Soma Takao has been both an ally and an enemy to Daisuke Sasaki. With his days as a DDT wrestler coming to a close, Takao is going to team with Sasaki one more time.
The rivalry between Viento Levante and Ilusion continues as they meet once again a few weeks before they fight for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles.

2. Haru Kazashiro Vs Kira Summer
3. Shino Suzuki Vs Mifu Ashida
4. Wakana Uehara Vs Momo Sato
5. HIMAWARI & Toga Vs Uta Takami & Ren Konatsu
We already have DDT establishing D GENERATIONS as the shows dedicated to their younger wrestlers. Tokyo Joshi Pro are doing their own twist on things with “BECOMING”, an event that only features wrestlers who debuted in 2023 or later. If this idea catches on I can see it being used to host some matches for the Next Generation Tournament if that comes back for another year this year.
BASARA “BASARA 315 ~UTAGE~”, 11/09/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
1. Takato Nakano, Masato Kamino & Yasu Urano Vs Takeru Inoue, Tomoki Hatano & Hajime
The build up for the next Iron Fist Tag Team Titles brings in some guys from HEAT-UP. According to the company’s profile on the wrestler, Hajime has a Capoeira background. I need to see for myself how much he puts that skill into his wrestling because that style has been absent around this corner of the wrestling world ever since Pedro Takaishi from Muscle retired.
BASARA “SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES – BASARA 316 ~KOO~”, 23/09/2026
Shinjuku FACE
1. Hardcore 6-Man Tag Match: Isami Kodaka, FUMA & Shota Nakagawa Vs SAGAT, Lil’ Kraken & Minoru Fujita
2. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Takeru Inoue & Tomoki Hatano
3. Union MAX Title -Dosukoi Gathering Presents-: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu
The very first match in BASARA history had Ryota Nakatsu in it and took place inside Shinjuku FACE. So it is fitting that BASARA’s final show in the venue is being headlined by Nakatsu challenging Takumi Tsukamoto for the Union MAX Title.
Next to BASARA, HEAT-UP is the next promotion where Takeru Inoue wrestles the most often. He has formed a tag team with Tomoki Hatano over there called Death Volleyball Club, named after the devotion both wrestlers have towards the sport. Well, devotion might be a strong word but they’ve both been part of a volleyball club. They also wanted a name that sounds cooler than Aijin Tag and came up with that. Now Inoue has tricked Aijin Tag into giving Death Volleyball Club a title shot despite having won nothing to deserve it.
Indie wrestler Shota Nakagawa makes his BASARA debut as part of a Hardcore trios match. He used to wrestle in Ganbare☆Pro for a while between 2017 to 2019 but I haven’t heard what he’s been up to since then.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS VII”, 03/10/2026
Tokyo EBARA WAVE Arena Ota
1. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Suzume
The next big match TJPW is putting together could be seen as a culmination of all the work that was done to push the second generation of main eventers. Suzume has won the Tokyo Princess Cup while holding the International Princess Title and it has encouraged her to get greedy. She now wants to fight Yuki Arai for the Princess Of Princess Title! Suzume has said she has no intentions of unifying the two championships if she wins this match. She already has an idea in mind of how to defend the two titles separately if given the opportunity. Arai meanwhile is putting all of her energy into defending the Princess Title to the point where she believes she is at her limit. She doesn’t think she could handle becoming a Double Crown champion so the International Princess Title will not be on the line for this match.
The venue we used to know as Ota Ward Gymnasium has now been renamed EBARA WAVE Arena Ota. The Ebara Corporation got the naming rights for the venue since April and the deal is to remain in place until 2030.

6. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Rika Tatsumi Vs Toga
7. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Suzume Vs HIMAWARI
A back injury has taken Mahiro Kiryu off of Sunday’s Tokyo Joshi Pro show so it has caused a big change to the middle of the card. Yuki Yuki Yuki are no longer going to face each other in a 3 Way Match. Instead Yuki Arai, Yuki Kamifuku & Yuki Aino are all united as a trio once more for a 6-Woman Tag Match. A few other matches have bodies swapped around which somehow left Pom Harajuku now having to go face Miyu Yamashita all by herself.

However KANON still holds the Anytime Anywhere Anytime Anywhere Gauntlet which he can use to cash in on Dieno whenever he wants.

A rare opportunity has come up for someone to break the record of becoming the youngest KO-D Openweight Champion ever. One day after Daichi Sato turns 18 years old he will challenge the new champion MAO for DDT’s biggest prize.
Shunma Katsumata has decided this run as the DDT Extreme Champion will be spent feeling how his challengers take in pro wrestling. Kumadori is first up with the dancer wanting to go as far as he can so he can be seen as something other than a guest wrestler by DDT fans.
There will be a full reunion of Smile Squash to mark Soma Takao’s impending exit from DDT. All four mainstay members will be reunited for the first time since 2017 for an 8-Man Tag Match.
“SHINJUKU FACE COUNTDOWN SERIES ~MEISHIN RUKOTSU~”, 30/09/2026

1. ~Many Thanks Battle Royal~: X Vs X
2. ~Go to the NEXT~: Ilusion & Homare Vs Shota Kofuji & Masami Inahata
3. ~THE FACE GENERATION~: MAO, Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes Vs Dragon Kid, Yuma Aoyagi & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan
4. ~W-FACE FINAL~: Aja Kong & Chihiro Hashimoto Vs Mayumi Ozaki & Sareee
The main event has been decided for the very last wrestling show held inside Shinjuku FACE and it is the most fitting one they could have thought of. The main event of the very first show held in the venue 21 years ago was Mayumi Ozaki & Dynamite Kansai against Aja Kong & Manami Toyota. Only Ozaki and Kong are still active out of those four so they are going against each other in another tag match. This time Kong is teaming up with Chihiro Hashimoto from Sendai Girls while Ozaki must fight side by side with Sareee!
You can’t close down Shinjuku FACE if Kuroshio TOKYO Japan never finishes his entrance! Maybe the same goes for if Dragon Kid horizontally grabs onto a ring post and wiggles his body out of reach for the staff to grab him. Can’t rely on Yuma Aoyagi, he won’t do anything about it.
The participants in the Battle Royal will not be revealed until the day of the show. It will be a Royal Rumble style match.
The match order other than the main event will not be decided until the day of the show.

DDT “THE FINAL SHINJUKU FACE BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING”, 14/08/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Soma Takao, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida defeated Jun Akiyama, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Masami Inahata when Takao pinned Matsunaga with a DDT (8:48).
2. paleyouth Vs FANTÔMES DRAMATIC!: Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato defeated Antonio Honda & Hinata Kasai when Koroku submitted Kasai with a Flying Armbar (11:57).
3. 3 Way Tag Match: Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI) defeated Hideki Okatani & Ilusion and Kazuma Sumi & Yuni when Levante pinned Yuni (10:40).
4. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Our LariPro ’26: Keisuke Ishii, Danshoku Dieno & Junta Miyawaki defeated Shunma Katsumata (c), Yuki Iino & Kazuki Hirata when Dieno pinned Katsumata with the Lariat (7:46).
*Danshoku Dieno becomes the 1,900th champion. Danshoku Dieno wins Shunma Katsumata’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet.
5. Special Single Match ~ I’m You, You’re Me: Daisuke Sasaki and Fake Daisuke Sasaki defeated Daision Sasaki with the Double Crossface Lock (11:02).
6. Unit Shuffle! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & HARASHIMA defeated Chris Brookes, KANON & To-y when Ueno pinned To-y with the Jul.2 (24:17).
The final ever DDT Beer Garden show inside Shinjuku FACE took place today. The main event had everyone swap around their costumes and mix up their teams, ignoring unit alliances. Chris Brookes and HARASHIMA swapped costumes, MAO and KANON swapped costumes and Yuki Ueno and To-y swapped costumes. Even KIMIHIRO and YUZUKI swapped outfits with each other! It led to everyone trying to replicate the moves and motions of the wresters they were dressed as. The two teams brawled away from the ring, leading to some confusion when Shunma Katsumata suddenly appeared in the ring wearing a spare of Ueno’s outfit that To-y was also wearing. Yuki Iino then crashed the match dressed as Yukio Naya. HARASHIMA then reappeared but this time he was dressed as Antonio Honda and he did the entire Gongitsune bit. Everybody gradually returned to their normal selves to finish off the match. At the end of the show, Ueno told everyone there was one thing he would like to see one last time in Shinjuku FACE. The “Pai Rangers” song then played over the speakers for HARASHIMA to dance to.
After recovering from the chronic hangover that kept him off yesterday’s show, Daisuke Sasaki was back to fight a fake version of himself. Fake Daisuke Sasaki showed up accompanied with Fake DAMNATION T.A members Fake Hideki Okatani and Fake MJ Paul. They confronted the real versions until all of a sudden another Daisuke Sasaki doppelganger appeared named Daision Sasaki. Daision attacked the other two until he accidentally hit himself with a chair bouncing off the ropes. Then the real Sasaki and the Fake Sasaki applied a Double Crossface Lock to make Daision give up. Daisuke Kiso wasn’t sure how to call the result so he raised the hands of both Daisuke Sasaki and Fake Daisuke Sasaki.
Shunma Katsumata’s new goal of becoming a DDT Triple Crown Champion has already gone up in smoke. Danshoku Dieno beat him in the Lariat Pro Wrestling match to win both the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title and the remaining Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Gauntlet. The Lariat match had everyone using the move while theme songs of famous Lariat users played throughout the action. Since NOAH’s own Junta Miyawaki was in the match, some of the non-Lariat related songs played included Naomichi Marufuji’s and Mitsuharu Misawa’s. They also played the AEW and New Japan theme songs for Kazuchika Okada.
The ending of Shinjuku FACE also spurred on the end for one of the biggest grudge matches ever associated with DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro. The two authority figures of the companies Hisaya Imabayashi and Tetsuya Koda agreed to have one final match against each other where the loser must immediately retire! It was a war that showcased heart more than physicality between the two enemies. Koda tried to summon the power of TJPW by attempting Hyper Misao’s Chickenwing Face Lock, Mizuki’s Crossface and Yuki Arai’s Finally. When they wouldn’t work he stuck Imabayashi in a Sleeper Hold that almost choked the DDT GM out. But suddenly the DDT roster all ran down to the ring to show their support for Imabayashi, motivating him to fight out of the hold. He used the Rainmaker motion to knock Koda down with a Spinning Backfist but didn’t have the heart to finally pin the man he couldn’t beat. Koda encouraged him to keep fighting and after a limp Chop Battle, Imabayashi knocked him down with one final Spinning Backfist to win the match. Koda’s sudden retirement ceremony then began only for Imabayashi to interrupt it. He said without Koda as his rival he has no reason to continue wrestling so he will be retiring alongside him! These two retirements are just for being pro wrestlers, they will continue their management roles in their respective promotions.

For the next two days DDT are holding their summer beer garden shows inside Shinjuku FACE for the last time before the venue shuts down for good next month. Day 1 ended with the annual Enter Sandman match where The Sandman’s much replicated entrance gets turned into an entire No Holds Barred free for all match. Chris Brookes did his homework and wore a Sandman style outfit. Daisuke Sasaki didn’t show up because of a chronic hangover but in his place was Brahman Sasaki. He unmasked Super Sasadango Machine then shoved him face first into Danshoku Dieno’s Hell Gate. MAO then grabbed a large bag of empty beer cans and jumped off the top rope to land a Guillotine Leg Drop onto Sasadango for the win.
MAO celebrated by calling himself the champion of idiots when Daichi Sato got into the ring. Sato isn’t old enough to drink yet and complained about having nothing fun to do at the show unlike all the adults. This will be his last summer vacation as a student so he wants to make a great memory out of it. MAO suggested they go to a theme park together but Sato instead challenged him for the KO-D Openweight Title so he can become the youngest champion ever! MAO accepted, explaining he’s been waiting for someone like Sato to come fight him. He remembers having a match with Sato four years ago when Sato was only 13 years old. He still remembers Sato kicking him hard and telling him to die. Ever since then MAO has been waiting for Sato to reach puberty so he could finally fight him as a man. Hisaya Imabayashi announced the title match will happen at Korakuen Hall on 30th August, one day after Sato’s 18th birthday.
MAO came into the show holding the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title along with the KO-D Title but lost the Iron Man belt to Shunma Katsumata during the opening segment. Katsumata was then pinned by Yuni while the match order announcement was going on. Another title change happened later when Kumadori beat Yuni to win a 6-Man Tag match. After that Kumadori challenged Katsumata for the DDT Extreme Title after he heard Katsumata say anyone could come challenge him. Kumadori doesn’t want to be a guest wrestler in DDT forever so he wants a title match. It was confirmed for 30th August but Katsumata then kicked Kumadori and pinned him with a Small Package to suddenly take the Iron Man Title off him! He now has a goal to cash in his Right To Challenge Gauntlet so he can win the KO-D title and become a Triple Crown champion!
Lovesickness prevented Antonio Honda from appearing at the show. A.YAZAWA took his place in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match. Everyone in the match danced, drank and caused each other to all spit out their beer. In the end Junta Miyawaki did a Triple H spit with the beer and pinned YAZAWA with the Pedigree.
Yuki Ishida found himself in the Kazuki Hirata spot of immediately losing his match and having everybody angry at him for it. Earlier in the day Soma Takao announced he would be leaving DDT next month so everyone thought it was unfair for one of his last matches in the company would end in just 17 seconds. Everyone agreed to a restart and the match gradually turned from wrestling into everybody feeding each other cans of beer.
The dark match between Ilusion and Yoshihiko turned into a brawl around the venue before making its way back to the ring. Ilusion wanted to use a chair after a ref bump but ended up hitting himself with it when Yoshihiko dodged a swing and the chair bounced off the ropes back into Ilusion. Yoshihiko gave him the Infinity Destroyer before finishing him off with the Reincarnation, getting revenge for Ilusion eliminating him from the Battle Royal in Sumo Hall earlier this week.
