*D.O.A become the 53rd KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!

Looks like D.O.A are sticking around for a while. The trio of Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi all agreed to enter today’s tournament where the prize was the newly vacant KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. The one condition was that if D.O.A failed to win, the team would immediately disband. Well they ended up winning the whole thing. D.O.A beat SCHADENFREUDE International in Round 1 after Dieno put wasabi in his mouth and put Antonio Honda in the Lip Lock. Then in the final D.O.A defeated The 37KAMIINA using the same tactic to become the new champions. Akiyama actually threw away the wasabi when Dieno took it out again but Shunma Katsumata retrieved it. Oishi told Akiyama & Dieno afterwards that the team is a success. Dieno is now convinced. He and Akiyama didn’t want to team together but the results speak for themselves. It also reassures him that DDT’s older wrestlers can still compete with the younger generation that’s been taking over the top end of DDT’s shows.

Backstage D.O.A all joked that the MVP of their team today was Shunma Katsumata and he was the reason why they became the new champions. Maybe they can ask him to join their unit? Dieno & Oishi then left Akiyama by himself so he can make an important decision. He announced he will leave BURNING at the end of this year. The time feels right for Tetsuya Endo to lead the group by himself while Akiyama goes in search of a new path to walk down. He makes it clear it is not because of D.O.A. Endo showed up next to Akiyama and explained to reporters that ever since BURNING’s formation they do not have many accomplishments to show for it. Endo takes blame for being a naïve leader and after consulting with Akiyama, they agreed with this idea. Endo said it will now be up to himself, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku to make BURNING bigger without Akiyama’s help. Top of the list for them is Endo winning the D-Oh Grand Prix while Okada & Koroku win the All Asia Tag Team Titles. But first Endo has to pass this news on to Kenta Kobashi. He promised to send him a LINE message about it.

Akito came up with a clever way to beat ROMANCE DAWN in the 8-Man Tag Match. He manipulated Shota into giving Soma Takao a Figure 4 Leg Lock to tie them up. He then pinned down Shota’s shoulders for the three count. After the match Akito said he is happy to see the younger generation succeed but it’s a different story when wrestlers from his same generation are now surpassing him. He challenged ROMANCE DAWN for the KO-D Tag Team Titles and has knows just the guy to team with him. His partner is Toru Sugiura from FREEDOMS! Sugiura is currently the King Of FREEDOM World Champion and also part of the same Young Communication generation that Akito, Takao and Shota are from. The title match will take place on 2nd December.

DDT trivia was the name of the game when Kazuki Hirata had to defend both of his championships against MIKAMI. The rules of the DDT Trivia King Death Match was after every fall the winner needed to correctly answer a question about DDT to end the match. The match itself was just for the DDT Extreme Title but when MIKAMI pinned Hirata in the first fall, he became the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion even though he answered his question wrong and the match had to continue. The question was what is Yuki Ishida’s favorite food? MIKAMI said chanko but that was wrong. Hirata said it is probably donuts and was correct. MIKAMI won the second fall but didn’t know what was the last thing Hideki Okatani said to Hirata during his introductory exam. Hirata knew it was “I’m not going to dance today.” MIKAMI then accused Hirata of coming up with the questions. He pinned him again just to get asked what does Toy Kojima worry about during his matches? MIKAMI said he worries about losing but that is wrong. Hirata said Kojima is scared of soiling himself, which is correct. Hirata finally scored a pinfall on MIKAMI, winning back the Iron Man Title in the process. He was given a quote about something and was asked who said it? Hirata said it was from himself… That’s correct! The match ended and it counts as another successful defence for Hirata on his quest to make the most Extreme Title defences. He denies coming up with the questions himself and they were all sourced from a committee of 1,000 people. MIKAMI hopes to get another chance some day but next time he wants the stipulation to be hardcore like a Ladder Match.

Former CMLL wrestler Demus left an impression on his first day with DDT. Before the first match took place he and MAO participated in a contract signing for their DDT Universal Title match on 19th November. Demus had Daisuke Sasaki as his interpreter and called MAO a country bumpkin from Miyagi. He then bragged about having a wife from Fukushima and being more universal than MAO could ever be. MAO said he chose Demus as his first challenger because he wants to experience Mexican wrestling as his first step into a world he’s never been in before. Then in the opener Demus made quick work of Kazuma Sumi before interfering in The 37KAMIINA Vs DAMNATION T.A match to attack MAO at ringside. Even though DAMNATION T.A lost, Sasaki warned MAO that Demus is going to destroy him!

Trivia King Death Match, MAO Ready For Demus, Max And Pom Chase The Champs

Shinjuku FACE

6. DDT Extreme Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Did you Know!? Past → Present DDT Trivia King Death Match: Kazuki Hirata (c/c) Vs MIKAMI
7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles 1-DAY Tournament – Final: X, X & X Vs X, X & X

The DDT Extreme Title match is being built entirely around the history of DDT. The title will be defended in a Trivia King Death Match! Kazuki Hirata and MIKAMI will wrestle as normal but when a fall is won, the winner must answer a trivia question about DDT. If they get it correct then they win the match. If they get it wrong then the loser gets to answer and if the loser gets it right, the match will continue. If the loser also answers incorrectly then a new question will be asked to the winner. This continues until one of them gives a right answer. The questions will be determined by a panel of 100 people selected from the DDT Legend Executive Committee which consists of 1000 members. The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title is also on the line but as always there is a risk Hirata could lose it to someone else before the match takes place.

MIKAMI is confident he will win and show off the history of DDT while doing it. He still vividly remembers the day when the championship was created and Sanshiro Takagi rewarded it to him. MIKAMI said when he is champion he wants to have matches as intense as those from his first reign and he will nominate Takagi as a challenger. Hirata believes if he can successfully defend the title against MIKAMI then he is good enough to break the record for most Extreme Title defences. Hisaya Imabayashi gave MIKAMI an example question to test him out. Who was the first KO-D Openweight Champion? MIKAMI struggled to come up with an answer while Hirata calmly said he knew. MIKAMI eventually figured it out and correctly said it was Masao Orihara.

With the retirement of Saki Akai having taken place, the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles are now vacated. The tournament to crown the next champions will be between The 37KAMIINA, DAMNATION T.A, the one-off trio called D.O.A and the newly established SCHADENFREUDE International.

She wants to do the match with Daydream before she goes so it is happening in Osaka.

Both HIMAWARI and Toga made it to the next round of the Next Generation Tournament. It’s now between them, Shino Suzuki and Wakana Uehara in the race to the final being held next month.

12. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Yuki Ueno

First thing’s first, Hiromu Takahashi won back the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Taiji Ishimori at New Japan over the weekend. So his match with Kazuki Hirata is back to being a title match unless he loses it again before then. The two met each other today for a Youtube broadcast to decide the rules for their match. But before that, Hirata tried to pin Takahashi to win the belt right there and then. Takahashi kicked out so Hirata immediately announced the match rules he came up with. It will consist of multiple rounds and each round will use a stipulation created by past DDT Extreme Champions along with new stipulations that are being kept secret until the show. A roulette wheel containing all of the stipulations will be used to determine what gets used every round. Hirata then tried to pin Takahashi with another School Boy but failed again, causing Hirata to leave. By the way, the match is also now being sponsored by Nivea.

A public press conference will be held the day before the show featuring several wrestlers involved with the big matches. That means Chris Brookes, Yuki Ueno, Chris Jericho, Konosuke Takeshita, Matt Cardona, Steph de Lander and MAO will all be there.

There’s been an emergency change in plans over the Hardcore 6-Man Tag Match. Both Atsushi Onita and Toy Kojima are unable to be at the show but two replacements have been found. Onita will be replaced with The Great Nita! Joining him is The Great Koji… but not the one from 2002 All Japan. DDT is pretty clear this Great Koji is Toy Kojima’s alter ego, so don’t confuse him for Satoshi Kojima’s one-off gimmick.

Sanshiro Takagi and Tsutenkakka are teaming up again after the last time went so well for them.

DDT “DRAMATIC DREAM TOUR 2023 IN MIYAGI”, 23/11/2023

The next time Brookes and Ueno face each other after their KO-D Openweight Title match will be later this month in Miyagi.

Aw man, Tetsuya Endo and MJ Paul will have to fight each other. I know it’s MJ Paul and not Mad Paulie but the match can still turn out to be an emotional one for Endo. It’s like being told to fight your pet labrador because you don’t hang out anymore.

A new face appears in DDT. Aizawa No.1 got his name from his days working at a host club in Kabukicho. He wrestled for Michinoku Pro in the late 2000s, retired for a few years and then returned 2015 bouncing around the wrestling scene ever since.

Demus will be on the show.

Yukio Sakaguchi has already gone to see his father Seiji Sakaguchi and brought along his half of the All Asia Tag Team Titles to proudly show off his achievement. Now the challenge is for him and Hideki Okatani to keep hold of the titles with defence after defence. Eruption are using their champion status to enter the Real World Tag League in All Japan as representatives of DDT. In the meantime they will put the All Asia Tag Titles on the line against Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku in DDT. Okada & Koroku have been teaming up a lot lately and want to win the belts so that they belong to BURNING again. Koroku is also fueled with jealousy over his rival Okatani’s success lately.

D-Oh Grand Prix 2023

November 6, 2023

The 2023 edition of the D-Oh Grand Prix is taking place from the end of November until the start of January with the final taking place on DDT’s annual New Year’s show at Korakuen Hall on 3rd January. As usual, the tournament format is a two block round robin with the winners of each group meeting in the final. Both blocks contain 6 wrestlers so everybody will compete in 5 matches, each with a 30 minute time limit. The final on 3rd January has no time limit. Every win is worth 2 points, most types of draws are worth 1 point each and every loss is worth 0 points. Also matches that end in a Double Countout or a No Contest are worth 0 points. In the case of ties for first place, the result of the block match between the wrestlers involved will be used as the tiebreaker. If that match was a draw then a sudden death match will be held to determine who goes through to the final. Kenta Kobashi remains in his role as the chairman of the tournament committee.

Yuki Ueno (5th Appearance, 2022 Winner)
Tetsuya Endo (7th Appearance)

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~SAKI AKAI TJPW LAST PARTICIPATION~” Results

November 3, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~SAKI AKAI TJPW LAST PARTICIPATION~”, 03/11/2023
Shinjuku FACE
500 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Next Generation Tournament ’23 – Round 1: HIMAWARI defeated Haru Kazashiro with a Half Crab Hold (8:54).
2. Next Generation Tournament ’23 – Round 1: Toga defeated Runa Okubo with the Modified Rock Bottom (6:12).
3. Miyu Yamashita, Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta defeated Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Yamashita pinned Harajuku with the Attitude Adjustment (11:44).
4. Miu Watanabe, Moka Miyamoto & Shino Suzuki defeated Mahiro Kiryu, Kaya Toribami & Wakana Uehara when Watanabe pinned Uehara with the Tear Drop (9:56).
5. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Sakazaki pinned Endo with the Magical Girl Splash (11:48).
6. Saki Akai TJPW Last Match: Saki Akai & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Rika Tatsumi & Hyper Misao when Akai pinned Misao with the Quetzalcoatl (15:56).
7. Special Match – Saki Akai Vs Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling ~ 1 Vs 23: Saki Akai defeated Miyu Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe, Hyper Misao, Yuki Kamifuku, Mahiro Kiryu, Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta, Yuki Aino, Raku, Pom Harajuku, Suzume, Arisu Endo, Moka Miyamoto, Kaya Toribami, Wakana Uehara, HIMAWARI, Toga, Shino Suzuki, Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo when Akai submitted Misao with the Triangle Choke (5:50).

Saki Akai’s busy weekend ended with her final match in Tokyo Joshi Pro. The match went ahead as Akai teaming with Yuki Kamifuku to take on Rika Tatsumi & Hyper Misao. Akai’s opponents walked out wearing protest gear and carrying signs calling themselves the National Federation To Prevent Saki Akai From Retiring. They attacked Akai with the signboards and Misao even tried to use the Quetzalcoatl on her. Kamifuku even the odds but the match came down to Akai and Misao. The match was so important that Misao pulled out the Vanitas. But Akai turned things around and won the match by using the Quetzalcoatl.

Tatsumi didn’t want the match to end and she told Akai there are still loads of wrestlers in TJPW she hasn’t fought yet. She then came up with an idea for Akai to take on the entire TJPW roster immediately! Akai refused, explaining she is tired from just wrestling a match now as well as from her DDT match earlier today. Tatsumi slapped some sense into Akai and suddenly she agreed. It was now going to be Akai against 23 TJPW wrestlers as her final match in the promotion!

Actually, there were more than 23 members of the TJPW team that got involved in the match. During a train attack set up by the entire roster on Akai, graduates Akane Miura and Nodoka Tenma joined in and got their hits in. Tetsuya Koda was also dragged into the attack but Akai blocked him with a Big Boot and then Penalty Kicked him in the back. Akai was then confronted by Miyu Yamashita for a quick preview of Akai’s retirement match on 12th November. Misao tricked Akai into reading a heartfelt letter she wrote so she could roll her up for a pin but Akai countered it into a Triangle Choke to make Misao give up.

After the match Misao thanked Akai for letting everyone in TJPW show their feelings for her. Akai told all of the roster to be strong, noble and beautiful so they can show TJPW to the entire world. She took a group photo with everyone (including the injured Haruna Neko) but purposely avoided giving Yamashita a hug. They will be wrestling each other one last time pretty soon so they did a fist bump instead.

Yuka Sakazaki has a lot of catching up to do on her road to graduation. But there’s only so many matches left for her and Mizuki to be together as The Magical Sugar Rabbits. Today they fought Daisy Monkey and beat them thanks to Sakazaki pinning Arisu Endo with the Magical Merry-Go-Round. There will be two more matches left for MagiRabi together as a team. Sakazaki does not want to treat them lightly although she was quick to point out this does not mean the team is splitting up. Suzume calls MagiRabi a tag team she always admired and wanted to beat. She thinks it is because of them that Daisy Monkey was able to grow this far.

The opening round of the Next Generation Tournament took place in the first two matches. Toga was met with a strong defence from Runa Okubo. She was knocked off her feet often but dropped her opponent with the Rock Bottom to win. Okubo didn’t want to lose but she now supports Toga to go and win the tournament so next time they fight, Okubo will beat her. Toga will now face Wakana Uehara in Round 2. Uehara beat her the last time they had a singles match together. Toga promised to show all of her potential to win the rematch.

The other 1st Round match ended with HIMAWARI beating Haru Kazashiro by submission. She wasn’t able to lock in the Half Crab first time around but eventually applied it right to get the win. Kazashiro admitted she cannot compete with HIMAWARI so she’ll just have to keep practicing until she can beat her. HIMAWARI said she couldn’t afford to lose. She faces Shino Suzuki in the next round and is confident she will beat her because she has already done it before.

DDT “ROAD TO ULTIMATE PARTY 2023 IN SHINJUKU” Results

November 3, 2023

DDT “ROAD TO ULTIMATE PARTY 2023 IN SHINJUKU”, 03/11/2023
Shinjuku FACE
385 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Toy Kojima when Koroku submitted Kojima with the Modified Triangle Lancer (7:28).
2. Special Single Match: Masahiro Takanashi defeated Soma Takao with the Bacchus (6:07).

4. Saki Akai Debut 10th Anniversary Match Final ~ Special Single Match: Saki Akai defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Quetzalcoatl (20:48).
5. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul submitted Tetsuya Endo, Yukio Naya & Rukiya when KANON submitted Rukiya with the Just Cobra Twist (8:07).
6. All Asia Tag Team Titles: Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani defeated Jun Akiyama & Kotaro Suzuki (c) when Sakaguchi pinned Suzuki with the God’s Right Knee (13:25).
*BURNING fails in V2. Eruption becomes the 121st All Asia Tag Team Champions!
7. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & MAO defeated Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada when Ueno pinned Masada with the Jul.2 (22:06).

With the exception of a small outdoor show happening tomorrow, today was pretty much DDT’s go home show for “ULTIMATE PARTY 2023”. It was the final preview for Chris Brookes against Yuki Ueno. With MAO by his side, Ueno got the win by using his Rolling Guillotine Ace Crusher on Takeshi Masada. That move has a new name by the way. It’s now called the Jul.2 because Ueno’s special match against HUB this year took place on 2nd July. After winning in the main event, Ueno said his match with Brookes at Sumo Hall will go beyond being great and he will definitely win. His goal is to make DDT bigger and get as many people as possible to watch it. However Brookes said backstage that his Dramatic Dream is not over yet. All he is thinking about now is the match at Sumo Hall.

The valuable All Asia Tag Team Titles reached a new milestone to go along with brand new champions. Eruption defeated Jun Akiyama & Kotaro Suzuki to mark another title change in DDT for the belts that normally belong to All Japan. The milestone here is there are now two generations from the same family to have held the All Asia Titles. Yukio Sakaguchi gets to join his father Seiji Sakaguchi in the championship’s lineage. He put Suzuki away with the God’s Right Knee to make himself & Hideki Okatani the new champions. Sakaguchi told reporters he was always the hopeless son but this takes him one step closer to standing in front of his father with pride. He and Okatani will next be entering the annual Real World Tag League in AJPW. They said they will use the All Asia Tag Titles as their tickets to go on a rampage and destroy AJPW as part of DDT’s “Special Attack Team”!

After the match ended but before Sakaguchi gave his speech, the new champions already met their first challengers. Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku got permission from Akiyama to ask for a title shot so they can bring the belts right back to BURNING. Okada said it’s not going to take ability or achievements to win the titles. What he needs is courage and making the challenge is his first step. Koroku lamented about his lack of success since losing the D GENERATIONS CUP final to Masada earlier this year. Meanwhile Okatani has been winning a lot of tag team championships lately. That makes Koroku frustrated and he now wants to take the title from Okatani more than anything else. Once the match gets endorsed by PWF Chairman Dory Funk Jr. we will find out when it will take place.

The matter between Tetsuya Endo and Daisuke Sasaki is getting more personal as we get closer to Sumo Hall. Sasaki gave Endo a Low Blow during their match, which led to KANON submitting Rukiya without anyone there to stop him. Sasaki attacked Endo even further after the match this time with a chair. Endo fought him off by Dropkicking the chair into Sasaki’s face. Endo then got on the microphone and said the six years he spent with Sasaki were irreplaceable but now he is now going to tarnish them. He is now Tetsuya Endo of BURNING and Sasaki has been left behind by the times. Sasaki corrected Endo because he is not behind the times, he is the centre of the times! He told Endo their match at Sumo Hall will just be between them one on one. Meanwhile KANON sent out a warning to Yukio Naya. It’s not The Saito Brothers who will doom Naya in the D-Ou Grand Prix, it will be KANON!

The last dance for Saki Akai is coming soon so today she had her last real dance because her opponent was Kazuki Hirata. Akai’s final singles match in DDT was promised to be fought Strong Style but Hirata immediately contradicted himself by taking out the Hirata GO! glasses. Akai briefly knocked him out with the Tegatana strike to the neck but admitted there is no way her last match with him was going to end without a dance battle. The two put on the glasses and danced. Akai put Hirata in position for the Quetzalcoatl when Hirata called for the match to pause. He knew the match was about to end but before that he wanted to read a letter he wrote for Akai. One by one, wrestlers like HARASHIMA, Ueno, MAO, Brookes and Danshoku Dieno all entered the ring and spoke of their feelings towards her. When they finished, they all left the ring and Akai agreed to restart the match with Hirata with both of them at full power. Akai defeated Hirata in the end and thanked him for being the person she had the most matches with in DDT. She said you wouldn’t see other wrestling companies have people reading heartfelt letters in the middle of their matches. It is ideas like these that made her fall in love with DDT and have no regrets over the ten years she spent with the company.

The recent luck Danshoku Dieno has had has been mixed but seems to be on the uptake since forming D.O.A with Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi. His Danshoku Style is still not as strong as it used to be according to Akito. Dieno changed things up by promising not to kiss anyone in the audience during his entrance without their consent. The fans who raised their hands got their kisses from him. Dieno & Oishi’s teamwork was good enough to beat HARASHIMA & Kazuma Sumi. However Dieno is still unsure that D.O.A is going to work out. Oishi told him not to underestimate Akiyama. Just leave everything to him otherwise they will be Dead Or Alive!

Masahiro Takanashi got a measure of revenge for Antonio Honda by beating Soma Takao. They had a series of cradle pins going back and forth until Takanashi got the three count with the Bacchus. Takanashi then made fun of Shota for showing up without being booked for a match. He can tell Shota wanted to fight him today but Takanashi wouldn’t have bothered if that was the match instead. He told ROMANCE DAWN he will be at a ChocoPro show on 10th November, two days before Sumo Hall. He’ll be waiting for them if they want one more fight before the KO-D Tag Team Titles match.

Okada & Koroku winning in the opener was the set up they needed to make the All Asia Tag Titles challenge later in the show.

Takeshi Masada has been taken out of the opening match because he was challenged by Kuroshio TOKYO Japan to a singles bout. Kuroshio heard from Konosuke Takeshita that Masada is really good in the ring so he wants to see it for himself.

The opening match is now a Tag Rumble instead of a 5 Way Tag Match. Yuni has been added to fill in Masada’s spot.
