Place Of Unknown Origin: MJ Paul, Ilusion

The KO-D Tag Team Champions want to increase their number of defences. BURNING already has a tag match coming up against Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada so they want the titles to be on the line for it.

DDT/GCW “NEVER ENDING NOISY SUMMER”, 12/08/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Vs GCW Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Effy
2. GCW World Title – 3 Way Hardcore Match: Mance Warner (c) Vs Shunma Katsumata Vs Joey Janela
3. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Alex Zayne

Two championship matches built around DDT Vs GCW have been added to the show. MAO is going to defend the DDT Universal Title against Alex Zayne. Meanwhile Shunma Katsumata is getting himself in the middle of Mance Warner and Joey Janella’s grudge over the GCW World Title. A Hardcore 3 Way Match is going to add fuel to that fire.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2024 IN SHINJUKU – DAY 1”, 15/08/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Blindfold Hidden Breast 4 Way Match: Chris Brookes Vs Antonio Honda Vs Super Sasadango Machine Vs Kazuma Sumi
2. Drunk Match: HARASHIMA Vs Masahiro Takanashi

The two wrestlers who are considered the biggest drinkers in DDT will face off in a drunk match. HARASHIMA and Masahiro Takanashi are going to drink each other under the table rather than put each other through one.

Danhausen, Joey Janela and Effy will all be part of the Beer Garden show since they will already be in Japan for the GCW tour. I hear Danhausen is still under AEW contract but both parties have become sick of each other so he gets to do stuff like this away from AEW until his deal runs out.

The GCW only shows on their tour are still going to have DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro talent involved but I’ll save writing about them until the shows take place. I don’t know why they think Broski Jimmy Vs Miyu Yamashita is a good idea but it’s happening.

DDT “WEDDING VENUE PRO WRESTLING SUMMER FESTIVAL IN SENTIR LA SAISON GIFU”, 31/08/2024
Gifu Sentir la Saison

1. X Vs X
2. X Vs X
3. X Vs X
4. X Vs X

The demand for DDT’s offer to hold wrestling matches at weddings is so much that they will be doing two events at Sentir la Saison on the day. The afternoon event will be an outdoor show consisting of four matches held inside a wrestling ring

DDT “WEDDING ROJO PRO WRESTLING”, 31/08/2024
Gifu Sentir la Saison

1. Falls Count Anywhere Match: X Vs X

Then in the evening DDT will hold a Falls Count Anywhere match in the wedding venue!

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA 2024”, 08/09/2024
Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall

1. Special Single Match: Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami Vs Yukio Naya

There are still a few tag matches between Kawakami and Yukio Naya leading up to this match. But Naya knows the only way he is going to deal with Kawakami is to beat him one on one.

DDT “AFTER PETER PAN 2024 IN SHINJUKU” Results

July 26, 2024

DDT “AFTER PETER PAN 2024 IN SHINJUKU”, 26/07/2024
Shinjuku FACE
248 Fans

1. Special Single Match: Kazuki Hirata defeated Yuni by Disqualification when Yuni was deemed to have attacked Hirata with a Chair (8:05).
2. Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku defeated Antonio Honda & Ilusion when Endo pinned Ilusion with the Spinning Torture Rack Bomb (9:45).
3. Special Single Match: Yuki Iino defeated MJ Paul with the Spear (9:37).
4. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Keigo Nakamura with the Somato (10:35).
5. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki defeated Akito with a Piledriver (7:41).
6. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami & KANON defeated Yukio Naya, Soma Takao & Kazuma Sumi when Kawakami pinned Sumi with the Thunder Fire Bomb (12:22).
7. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno, Makoto Oishi & Takeshi Masada when Ueno pinned Masada with the WR (22:14).

With “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2024” in the rear view mirror today was the first look towards what directions everyone in DDT will be taking towards the next Sumo Hall show at the end of the year. The 37KAMIINA are now whole again thanks to MAO ending his runaway phase and rejoining the group. They won their match in the main event against a collection of DDT wrestlers. Among them was Makoto Oishi who this week announced his plans to leave DDT and go freelance in October. One of his requests was to wrestle against MAO & Shunma Katsumata again, which he did today. To-y got caught up in the moment and joined in with calling Oishi “Master” even though he has no connection to him. After the match Ueno welcomed MAO back to The 37KAMIINA and talked about how much he missed him. Backstage MAO and Katsumata both said they want to have a 3 Way Match with Oishi to be the NωA reunion part of Oishi’s farewell tour. Danshoku Dieno also approached Oishi wanting the two of them to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles.

Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami added salt to Yukio Naya’s wounds after their match by telling him he hasn’t been working out enough. This provoked Naya into attacking him but DAMNATION T.A all ganged up on Naya with a chair and left him in a beaten pile. Kawakami’s advice is Naya should either gain 5-10kg or lose weight. He also keeps calling DAMNATION T.A “FIRE DAMNATION” but Daisuke Sasaki has to remind him that’s not what the unit is called. Naya’s response was to challenge Kawakami to a singles match. That will happen in Nagoya on 8th September.

The next challenger for Ueno and the KO-D Openweight Title is showing off how dangerous an opponent he is going to be. Shinya Aoki outgrappled Akito before using a Piledriver on him to get the win. His warning to Ueno is loud and clear. Aoki can kill him as both a fighter and as a wrestler! Ueno watched his speech from the ring entrance.

More challengers are on the way for BURNING. As mentioned above, Dieno & Oishi could be on the hunt for a future shot at the KO-D Tag Titles. But first BURNING wants to defend the belts against SCHADENFREUDE International. After Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku won their tag match, Endo made a request for their match against Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada in Osaka on 10th August to have the titles on the line.

Backstage Ilusion asked Antonio Honda if he could join SCHADENFREUDE International. Honda could not make the decision by himself because Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi are both wrestling in Thailand currently.

A ref bump happened in the opener so Kazuki Hirata poured ketchup over his head and made sure Yuni was holding a chair when the Yukinori Matsui recovered. Matsui thought Yuni violently attacked Hirata so he disqualified him. Matsui scolded Yuni and said he doesn’t remember raising him like this!

DAMNATION T.A has a new ally in the form of Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami. He’s here in DDT to fight Yukio Naya first and foremost.

With a KO-D Openweight Title shot coming up in his future, Shinya Aoki is starting his preparations with a match against Akito.

Similar setup here. Takeshi Masada’s first ever singles match against Akito is the headline match, everything else is currently out of order.

It’s an unofficial DISASTER BOX reunion as HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata are all teaming up again. Is this going to work out like the Smile Squash revival did?

DDT “OSAKA VS TOKYO ~DREAM EAST-WEST PRO WRESTLING BATTLE 2024~”, 10/08/2024
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul Vs Toru Owashi, Yukio Naya & Ilusion

DDT/GCW “NEVER ENDING NOISY SUMMER”, 12/08/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Vs GCW Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Effy

The first match announced is probably the most DDT Vs GCW match the two companies could come up with together. Dieno takes on Effy!

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2024 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA”, 17/08/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Michael Nakazawa

The return of Michael Nakazawa to DDT was probably not as golden as he thought it was going to be, especially when it got overshadowed by Kota Ibushi minutes later. Still, Nakazawa came in to be used as a weapon against Dieno and that’s an issue that still needs to be settled. So the two are going to have a match against each other next month.

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2024”, 25/08/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

Yuki Ueno has chosen Shinya Aoki to be his seventh challenger for this KO-D Title reign. Aoki taught him a lot with the matches they had together last year and now Ueno believes he can beat him. Also the match Aoki wants to do most nowadays is to fight Ueno in a DDT ring.

Tokyo Princess Cup 2024 Brackets

July 25, 2024

The bracket drawing for the Tokyo Princess Cup was held in Shibuya during the week with the majority of the entrants in attendance. Those who could not be there for various reasons included Ryo Mizunami, Yuki Arai, Suzume, Pom Harajuku, Runa Okubo and Zara Zakher. Everyone who did attend all gave comments about their first matches and tournament goals.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 28/07/2024
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1A: Yuki Arai Vs Kaya Toribami
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1B: Arisu Endo Vs Miu Watanabe
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1C: Runa Okubo Vs Yuki Aino
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2A: Shino Suzuki Vs Suzume
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2C: Mizuki Vs Moka Miyamoto
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2E: Pom Harajuku Vs Yuki Kamifuku

Yuki Arai and Kaya Toribami debuted in the same year just a month away from each other and are of similar age. They’ve never had a singles match against each other until now and Toribami wants to give it her all so she can win.

Miu Watanabe pointed out she can achieve the Grand Slam of all Tokyo Joshi Pro accomplishments if she can win the Princess Cup. That means winning every TJPW championship and tournament. Arisu Endo is having a lot of tag team success lately but wants to focus on winning a singles tournament by herself this summer.

It’s been a frustrating time for Yuki Aino because she feels there are wresters in TJPW who become so amazing that she is not good enough to fight them. However she knows how many people support her and have high expectations for her. She wants to spend her hot summer smashing through the competition.

Shino Suzuki has had a couple of singles matches against Suzume a few times already but has never beaten her. She will do her best to beat her for the first time.

The two time winner Mizuki says she is aiming to reach the top yet again. However she admits it gets lonely up there so she wants everyone to support her. Moka Miyamoto doesn’t want to let her do that though. She wants to prove she is the best just like Mizuki does.

Every year Yuki Kamifuku tells people she hates competing in tournaments. But recently especially after she reached the final last year fans have encouraged her to do her best. Even her mother scolds her for being so negative about it. So this year Kamifuku is taking a more cheerful approach to being in the tournament.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 03/08/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2B: Winner Of Match 1A Vs Wakana Uehara
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2D: Winner Of Match 1B Vs Zara Zakher
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2F: Winner Of Match 1C Vs Shoko Nakajima
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2G: Rika Tatsumi Vs Toga
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2H: Haru Kazashiro Vs Ryo Mizunami

Whoever wins between Arai and Toribami, either will be a first time opponent for Wakana Uehara. She is determined to win no matter who she faces.

Zakher’s first match in the tournament will be against either Watanabe or Endo.

She feels bad for saying this but Shoko Nakajima wants Aino to beat Okubo so she can face her in Round 2. After the match she had against Aja Kong, Nakajima feels the need to evolve in order to survive in TJPW. For this tournament she wants to grab a hold of something new and break out of her shell. Even then it won’t mean anything unless she wins the tournament again.

For Rika Tatsumi the Princess Cup is the fastest way for her to get another shot at regaining the Princess Of Princess Title. Whether she fights against rookies or veterans she is going to destroy them all this summer! Toga knows just how crazy Tatsumi gets in her matches. She will try to surpass that craziness to advance to the next round.

Due to scheduling, Ryo Mizunami’s bracket spot was automatically placed in Round 2 in the beginning before any other drawing was picked. Haru Kazashiro is a little scared to be her opponent because of the difference in strength but also thinks she is lucky to get such a big opponent in her first tournament appearance.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 10/08/2024
Osaka Edion Arena #2

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 2A Vs Winner Of Match 2B
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 2C Vs Winner Of Match 2D
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 2E Vs Winner Of Match 2F
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 2G Vs Winner Of Match 2H

The Princess Cup will hold a round in Osaka for the first time ever.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 23/08/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: X Vs X
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: X Vs X

The Semi Final bracket will be determined by a lottery held after the Quarter Finals.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 25/08/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: X Vs X

The winner of the 11th Princess Cup tournament will be crowned here.

I Chose The Wrong Time To Go On Holiday

July 16, 2024

Heads up, I have a really busy travel week this week. Unfortunately that means I don’t have the time to write any previews for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’24” or “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2024”. I will try my best to post match results, show reports and any other news whenever I can but it may come a few days late before I’m caught up on anything.

DDT “AFTER PETER PAN 2024 IN SHINJUKU”, 26/07/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuni
2. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA Vs Keigo Nakamura
3. Special Single Match: Yuki Iino Vs MJ Paul

No real clues in the lineup for what direction DDT will go next after Sumo Hall.

Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami will be on the show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GARAFES DASH!! ~SCORCHING SUMMER SPLASH~”, 27/07/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Raku Vs Uta Takami
2. Miu Watanabe & Suzume Vs Pom Harajuku & Shino Suzuki

The next Tokyo Joshi Pro appearance at the Garafes is later this month. The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) also recently announced a new trainee called Kana. She was born in Kanagawa on 5th August, 2005 and is 156cm tall. Her goal is to become both a regular pro wrestler and idol.

BASARA “BASARA 254 ~ICHIMIDOUSHIN~”, 04/08/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Takeru Inoue Debut Match: Takeru Inoue Vs X
2. Special Single Match: Isami Kodaka Vs Yuki Ishikawa
3. Union MAX Title: Minoru Fujita (c) Vs Yasu Urano

All of Minoru Fujita’s defences of the Union MAX Title so far have been against BASARA wrestlers. Yasu Urano is going to be his first outsider opponent. For Fujita it may be the first time he feels like BASARA’s leader as their champion.

GANBARE☆PRO “UNCUT DIAMONDS 2024”, 16/08/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Ken Ohka & Shuji Ishikawa
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Keisuke Ishii (c) Vs Takuya Wada

In just over a year and a half Takuya Wada has accomplished plenty in Ganbare☆Pro. He already held a championship here and now has a chance to take the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title from Keisuke Ishii.

Ken Ohka has called upon Shuji Ishikawa to challenge Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase for the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles. Ohka is on a mission to show everyone that wrestlers born in the 1970s are still up to snuff.

5. Miu Watanabe, Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku Vs Rika Tatsumi, Shoko Nakajima, Mizuki & Runa Okubo

Tomorrow’s Tokyo Joshi Pro card has been shortened down to five matches because of a few absences. Nao Kakuta has an injured back and cannot wrestle. However she will still be attending the show along with Hyper Misao and Haruna Neko for a talk segment between the three of them. Moka Miyamoto is feeling unwell and cannot wrestle tomorrow. Miyu Yamashita was already announced to be wrestling in England this weekend.

DDT “KEIGO NAKAMURA HOMETOWN TRIUMPH! ROAD TO PETER PAN 2024 TOUR IN IWATE”, 13/07/2024
Iwate Education Hall Multipurpose Hall

1. Akito & Kazuma Sumi Vs Daisuke Sasaki & KANON
2. Danshoku Dieno & Yuni Vs Kazuki Hirata & To-y
3. SCHADENFREUDE International Vs D.O.A!: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi

5. Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Yuya Koroku Vs HARASHIMA, Yukio Naya & Ilusion
6. Iwate Specialty Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata Vs MAO & Keigo Nakamura

The DDT card also has a few changes but that’s because so many of the young wrestlers want to fight Sanshiro Takagi before his break. Takagi came up with an idea to face them all in a gauntlet of two minute singles matches one after the other. If any of them can beat him in two minutes he promises to increase their pay as a reward! The wrestlers lining up to face him are Takeshi Masada, Yuni, Keigo Nakamura, To-y & Kazuma Sumi.

DDT “ROAD TO PETER PAN 2024 TOUR IN NIIGATA”, 14/07/2024

6. The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING?: Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata Vs MAO & Tetsuya Endo

The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles are still missing one of the belts after Smile Squash’s attempt to rescue them was only partially successful. They have two of the belts back but KANON still has possession of the third one. Good thing HARASHIMA has a match with him already scheduled so he can try and get it back by force.

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN HANDMADE IN JAPAN FES 2024”, 20/07/2024
Tokyo Big Sight West Halls 1 & 2

1. Falls Count Anywhere 4 Way Tag Match: Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Takeshi Masada Vs Keigo Nakamura & Yuki Ishida Vs Yuya Koroku & Ilusion

DDT returns to the HandMade In Japan Fes for another year and another Falls Count Anywhere match.

2. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Match II: X Vs X
3. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Match III: X Vs X

DDT last used the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere prize in 2022. After putting the concept on the shelf for a year it is back for 2024 and this time three prizes will be up for grabs. The participants and match stipulations have not been decided on yet. But it is guaranteed at least one of the prizes will be for a KO-D Openweight Title shot that can be cashed in at any time when the champion is in the venue.

BASARA “BASARA 254 ~ICHIMIDOUSHIN~”, 04/08/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Takeru Inoue Debut Match: Takeru Inoue Vs X
2. Special Single Match: Isami Kodaka Vs Yuki Ishikawa

This week it was announced that Big Japan wrestler Yuki Ishikawa will be retiring on 12th August. It was a decision he made after he suffered a shoulder injury back in April. He will pay a visit to BASARA the week before his retirement to face Isami Kodaka at Korakuen Hall. It will be one of if not the final singles match of Ishikawa’s career.

DDT/GCW “NEVER ENDING NOISY SUMMER”, 12/08/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

Jordan Oliver has pulled out of the GCW Japan tour due to a torn ACL in his left knee. Marcus Mathers will be replacing him for the tour which includes the DDT show.

BASARA “BASARA 254 ~HIEN~”, 13/08/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

Something BASARA tweeted out today is their plan to separate between the two kinds of “UTAGE” shows they will be producing from August onwards. The “HIEN” shows are now labelled as “Hard Mode” events. The tweet compares the term to “Bati Bati” and they later ruled out doing Hardcore Matches on these shows when a fan responding to them got the two mixed up. So it sounds like BASARA might be giving Battlarts style wrestling a go when using that name. The “SOUEN” shows are now labelled “Fudangi BASARA” and will be no different to the regular “UTAGE” shows they’ve been doing up until now.

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

July 10, 2024

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.

In the final regular DDT show before “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2024”, MAO is going to team up with an old enemy. He is giving BURNING a chance and partnering up with Tetsuya Endo for the last prelim match against The 37KAMIINA.

While Sanshiro Takagi and Danshoku Dieno get ready for what could be their last match together, so to are Super Sasadango Machine and Kazuki Hirata but without the sense of finality to it. Both pairings are getting mashed together for a match on the go home show.

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

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.

In what will be Sanshiro Takagi’s final match for the time being, he faces his longtime rival Danshoku Dieno in the dreaded Weapon Rumble where mystery weapons are added every couple of minutes. The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles are now being defended in a Survival 4 Way Match. Smile Squash has to defend the belts against DAMNATION T.A, SCHADENFREUDE International and The 37KAMIINA with Aja Kong as their long awaited third member. We even get friends of Takagi taking part in their own match. It includes Munenori Sawa and I think the first ever DDT appearance of Hisamaru Tajima.
