BASARA “BASARA 243 ~TAKAGARI 23~” Results

March 9, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 243 ~TAKAGARI 23~”, 09/03/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. SAGAT defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Goregrind (8:27).
2. KUBITO & Yasu Urano defeated Gouma Ryu & Banana Senga when KUBITO submitted Ryu with a Crossface Lock (7:24).
3. Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Daichi Kazato with the Tsuki no Ishi (12:42).
4. Masato Kamino & Chicharito Shoki defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & Judomaster when Kamino pinned Judomaster with the Lariat (14:54).
5. Isami Kodaka, Ryuichi Sekine & Minoru Fujita defeated FUMA, Ryota Nakatsu & Fuminori Abe when Kodaka pinned Nakatsu with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (18:52).

2024 could be the year Sento Minzoku is back on top of the BASARA mountain. Minoru Fujita is currently the Union MAX Champion and the result of today’s main event could lead to the Iron Fist Tag Team Titles coming back to him too. Isami Kodaka pinned Ryota Nakatsu to win the match and told Fujita he wants the two of them to challenge Harimao for the titles. Nakatsu complained that Fujita shouldn’t have to be Kodaka’s partner and Ryuichi Sekine should do it instead. However he eventually agreed to put the belts on the line against Fujita & Kodaka. Kazusada Higuchi’s next BASARA appearance is on 19th March but Fujita is already defending the Union MAX Title on 19th March on that show. He refuses to wrestle twice, especially if it is in two championship matches back to back. They all think Higuchi will be available to wrestle in BASARA again on 20th April so they will do the title match there unless they got Higuchi’s schedule wrong.

Sekine announced he will be back to wrestling on a regular schedule with BASARA starting from next month. He made it a goal to work his way into becoming a champion again.

Yesterday BASARA reported that Takato Nakano had a fever but tested negative for covid. They decided to pull him from the show as a precaution and brought in Chicharito Shoki to replace him. If that wasn’t enough, it was announced that the love sickness Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi is suffering from has gotten worse so he couldn’t wrestle today either. The masked Judomaster was suspiciously in the venue again to take his place for the second show in a row. He seemed to have a better understanding of pro wrestling this time but still lost to Masato Kamino.

Today is the first time Gouma Ryu wrestled in Takashimadaira Kumin Center for a BASARA show. He thought he was taking part in another Pro Wrestling Trial but Banana Senga forgot to bring his outfit. They held a court session arguing whether or not injuring your opponent in a pro wrestling match should be a crime. They told KUBITO and Yasu Urano to wrestle each other in order to provide evidence. None of their actions injured either of them so the referee/judge declared them Not Guilty. Ryu did not accept the result and convinced Senga to fight the other two. KUBITO & Urano quickly beat them.

The Painful Jungle Death Match will feature dangerous items placed on or covering over each of the turnbuckle corners, turning the ring into a painful jungle! Shunma Katsumata hasn’t said what the weapons are and is keeping it quiet. It’s all up to Hideki Okatani and the fans to imagine what hazards he would put inside a “painful jungle” ring. Other death match weapons will be available to use in the match too.

Wakana Uehara, Toga and Haru Kazashiro will be on the show and are waiting to find out what their matches are. Sayuri Namba will be the ring announcer for the show. Sadly that means Michiko Nonaka won’t be there to represent the GanJo side.

Last year’s Beer Garden show saw the return of Furitsuke Kamen (aka Lucky Ikeda) to DDT. Looks like the Beer Garden shows are where he’s going to stay whenever he and DDT work together.

Yokohama Radiant Hall

The week before Yuki Ueno & MAO face Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes in Korakuen Hall, the two of them get to fight Brookes in a 6-Man Tag Match in Yokohama.

It’s been a long time since Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda teamed together. September 2021 was the last time if I got the Cagematch profiles correct.

DDT “DDT GOES PHILADELPHIA!”, 04/04/2024
Penns Landing Caterers Auditorium, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

1. Special Single Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs Yoshihiko
2. Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Mike Bailey

Did the announcement of Kazuki Hirata Vs Yoshihiko in Philadelphia not do anything for you? Then how about Yuki Ueno against Mike Bailey in a first time singles match between the two?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO/BASARA “GAISEN SAKURA PRO WRESTLING”, 14/04/2024
Okayama Shinjo Village Outdoor Ring

The day long event will have BASARA matches in the late morning and TJPW matches in the afternoon. So I may split this into two separate shows when writing about them.

It’s been two years since the last Tokyo Joshi Pro show at Itabashi Green Hall. Even then they only had one show there that year and it was a fan club event. They have a number of wrestlers now who will wrestle in the venue for the first time.

BASARA “BASARA 244 ~UTAGE~”, 19/03/2024
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Union MAX Title: Minoru Fujita (c) Vs Masato Kamino

The Union MAX Title match between Minoru Fujita and Masato Kamino is now confirmed to happen on 19th March. Kazusada Higuchi will also be on the show so maybe there will be an Iron Fist Tag Team Titles match too.

Shiori Asahi is showing up in Ganbare☆Pro for the first time since 2017! He reunited with Makoto Oishi back then for a match against Shinichiro Tominaga that was built around Tominaga’s loose history with K-DOJO. The match is happening again except this time Tominaga is teaming with Keisuke Ishii.

With Yoshiko Hasegawa and Riara both leaving GanPro soon they get a chance to wrestle each other while still part of the Ganbare☆Joshi division.

GANBARE☆PRO “TONIGHT ON THE HILL WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE MOON 2024”, 28/03/2024

Also returning for a GanPro appearance soon is Kouki Iwasaki! He left the promotion at the end of 2022 to go freelance. This will be his first match in GanPro since back then.

Hartley Jackson & HARUKAZE teaming up again means it’s the return of the Lethal Weapon tag team!

The final GanPro match for both Hasegawa & Riara will be a tag match against Yuna Manase & Banny Oikawa.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’24”, 31/03/2024
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino (c) Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

So let’s get this straight. Yuka Sakazaki graduated from TJPW in December, hasn’t wrestled a match anywhere else since for whatever reason and is now going to make a special appearance to compete at “GRAND PRINCESS ’24”? Yeah, beats me what’s going on or what she will do there. Mizuki wants to team with her again and is scared over the idea it won’t happen. Sakazaki helped train Juria Nagano so she can say goodbye to her there. What if Sakazaki wants to get in the ring with Masha Slamovich again? Or maybe she wants to fight Andreza Giant Panda while she still has the chance.

This show is a happening a few days before the first anniversary of Toga’s debut match against Miyu Yamashita. So they get to be on opposite sides of the ring again to celebrate it.

The debuts of Uta and Kirra are coming up this Sunday. We’ll likely get their official ring names in the next few days. Uta’s debut puts her in the ring with the rest of the active Up Up Girls. Kirra’s first match also involved Chika Nanase who only just debuted over the weekend.

BASARA “BASARA 243 ~TAKAGARI 23~”, 09/03/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Lil’ Kraken Vs Munetatsu Nakamura
2. Daichi Kazato Vs Tsutomu Oosugi
3. Takumi Tsukamoto & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino
4. KUBITO & Yasu Urano Vs SAGAT & Banana Senga

Masato Kamino has stepped forward wanting to be Minoru Fujita’s next opponent for the Union MAX Title. The challenge was accepted but is not happening just yet.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2024 ~27TH ANNIVERSARY 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 17/03/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. “Intern Wrestler” Tsubasa Suzuki Debut Match: Soma Takao Vs Tsubasa Suzuki
2. Yuya Koroku Return Match: To-y, Ilusion & Rukiya Vs Yuni, Yuya Koroku & Kazuma Sumi
3. Toru Owashi & Gorgeous Matsuno Vs Akito & Shinichiro Kawamatsu
4. SCHADENFREUDE International Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Antonio Honda Vs Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul
5. Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Naya Vs Shuji Ishikawa & Yoshitatsu
6. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Ken Ohka
7. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Yuma Aoyagi
8. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles – Belt Contra Dissolution: Jun Akiyama, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi (c) Vs Kazuki Hirata, Naruki Doi & Shinya Aoki
9. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino (c) Vs Ryuki Honda & Yuma Anzai
10. DDT Extreme Title: Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Hideki Okatani
11. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Takeshi Masada
12. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs HARASHIMA

The 27th Anniversary of DDT’s first show contains 12 matches so they will not overrun the 5 hour timeslot in Korakuen Hall this time. The DDT Universal Title is up for grabs as well as who will get to defend that championship in American this April. MAO believes he is now the greatest DDT Universal Champion ever and wanted his next defence to be at the Philadelphia show. However Takeshi Masada really wants to be in the same position and wanted to challenge MAO before then so he can take that spot instead. MAO only wants to be challenge by wrestlers he thinks can be trusted with the Universal Title. He doesn’t believe Masada is at that level yet but the audience support for the challenger convinced MAO to give him the chance.

The newest unit in DDT could quickly become champions before we know it. Zuncha♪Muscle Survivor will now face D.O.A for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles after Naruki Doi pinned Makoto Oishi yesterday. Just like with D.O.A’s previous defences, high stakes must be on the line for both teams. Doi decided that if his team loses then they will split up. That sounds like a serious stipulation until you find out Doi does not want to be part of Kazuki Hirata’s new unit so he isn’t going to lose any sleep if they lose and never have to team up again.

Shuji Ishikawa returns to DDT for the first time since last July. He is coming off of a bad split with All Japan and now has new responsibilities as the GM of Evolution Joshi. So if this is his only DDT appearance for the year I’ll take it.

The Intern Wrestler Tsubasa Suzuki gets Soma Takao for his first match.

GANBARE☆PRO “GANPRO 2024 TRUE BLUE”, 20/03/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shuichiro Katsumura & Takuya Wada (c) Vs Shota & Soma Takao

Right before Shota leaves Ganbare☆Pro to go freelance he & Soma Takao are getting what could be their final shot at the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles. It is a championship that ROMANCE DAWN has never won. Shota would love to claim it and defend it wherever he goes next. GROUND ABSOLUTE will try and stop that because Shuichiro Katsumura isn’t looking to lose either of his championships anytime soon.

DDT “APRIL FOOL 2024”, 07/04/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Chihiro Hashimoto
2. Dramatic Dream Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes

A big surprise was dropped in DDT yesterday when Chris Brookes invited his friend Zack Sabre Jr. to come over for a match. Sabre has a few DDT tapes in his collection back home so the place was always on his bucket list. Sadly his hopes of fighting Yoshihiko or the Ladder aren’t possible at the moment so he identified DDT’s two strongest singles champions as wrestlers he would like to fight. Yuki Ueno & MAO are just as excited to do the match as Sabre & Brookes are.

There is also going to be a rematch from a DDT bout that took place at Tokyo Dome City Hall in December 2022. On that night Chihiro Hashimoto beat Shinya Aoki clean and Aoki wants to avenge that loss to her. He expects the rematch to be as dramatic as sumo wrestler Shinichi Suzukawa’s return from injury was!

DDT “DDT X ZEEKSTAR TOKYO SPECIAL PERFORMANCE ~ DDZT”, 26/04/2024
Tokyo Sumida Ward General Gymnasium

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

The next KO-D Title defence after the 27th Anniversary show will be in April at a DDT collaborative show with the Zeekstar Tokyo handball team. Either Ueno or HARASHIMA will be the defending champion.

There is more to the main event than just Yuna Manase’s return to the ring. It is also an inter-promotional bout pitting Ganbare☆Joshi against Marvelous. Manase steps in the ring with Takumi Iroha again plus YuuRI gets a chance to avenge her recent loss to Mio Momono.

Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino (c) Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Miu Watanabe

A Great Kaiju War has been added to “GRAND PRINCESS ’24” and it might be too much for Kyoraku Kyomei to handle. It will be up to Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao to withstand the combined threat of Aja Kong & Max The Impaler. That’s right, Kong & Max are teaming up! Tokyo Joshi Pro describes the pairing as “Super Miracle Beast Power Combination” of the Reiwa era! Are they going to be as uncontrollable a tag team as Stan Hansen & Bruiser Brody were?

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO EMERALD DRAGON ’24” Results

February 12, 2024

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO EMERALD DRAGON ’24”, 12/02/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
112 Fans

1. Special Single Match: Kizuna Tanaka defeated Riara with the California Roll (6:30).
2. Ram Kaichow & Sumire Natsu defeated Kaho Kobayashi & Banny Oikawa when Natsu pinned Oikawa with the Yoran (10:30).
3. Alex Lee & Yoshiko Hasegawa defeated Yappy & JC Storm when Hasegawa pinned Yappy with the Diving Double Knee Attack (13:06).
4. Special Single Match: Mio Momono defeated YuuRI with the German Suplex (16:02).

Mio Momono has wrestled on a Ganbare☆Pro show before but today was her first appearance on a Ganbare☆Joshi branded event. The current OZ Academy Openweight Champion faced GanJo’s own YuuRI in the main event but the title was not on the line. YuuRI missed the Swanton Bomb so tried scrambling for a Cradle pin. However Momono took control of the match and beat YuuRI down until she couldn’t kick out of the German Suplex. Momono introduced herself to the audience after the match. She said all of the women work hard on GanJo shows so in a way that makes her a part of GanJo too. She gave credit to YuuRI for her efforts and loves to fight her type of “dirty pro wrestling”. But Momono also said due to the difference in speed and stamina, YuuRI will never be able to beat her in this life. YuuRI said she admires Momono and will never stop admiring her. She is also confident that one day she will surpass her!

Yoppy pins Yappy! It is another win for Yoshiko Hasegawa as she gets ready to challenge Yuu for the EVE International Title on 23rd February. JC Storm went to Super Kick Hasegawa but she dodged it and Yappy took the kick instead. Alex Lee then attacked Yappy with a Super Kick and Missile Dropkick. That set Hasegawa to land the Diving Double Knee Attack on Yappy for the three count. Hasegawa said it was a big deal for her to win the match because it was full of wrestlers from around the world involved. She wants to compete and make contact with more foreign wrestlers. She thinks she can definitely win the International Title with this amount of momentum behind her.

There was a triple Low Blow spot that happened during Match #2. Sumire Natsu gave Kaho Kobayashi a Manhattan Drop and Kobayashi returned with an Elbow that hit Natsu below the belt. Then when Kobayashi went to do a Low Dropkick, Natsu pulled Daisuke Kiso in the way and his groin took the blow. Ram Kaichow held Kobayashi back while Natsu beat Banny Oikawa with the Shining Wizard followed by the Yoran.

In a match where both competitors were fighting for their first ever singles win, the visitor Kizuna Tanaka defeated Riara. Tanaka was able to withstand Riara’s Ankle Lock and hit back with an Elbow Strike and then roll her up with a California Roll to win a match for the first time. However Tanaka is not satisfied with the result and thinks she could have done even more. The match made her realize she needs to improve. Riara is keeping count of her own results and thinks she has lost over 30 matches in a row now. She wants to get better at wrestling and have a rematch with Kizuna in a few years time when she has grown as a wrestler.

Yuna Manase resigned from her role as the Ganbare☆Manager for GanJo. Her next appearance for the sub-brand will be as a wrestler on the 3rd March show. That is the last GanJo event being held under CyberFight before GanPro goes independent after March. Manase still supports the women who are leaving GanPro soon and will continue to do so. She encouraged the fans to do the same for them as well as those who are staying because everyone who has been in GanJo will always be a part of GanJo.

BASARA “BASARA 241 ~TAKAGARI 22~” Results

February 10, 2024

BASARA “BASARA 241 ~TAKAGARI 22~”, 10/02/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Masahiro Takanashi defeated Lil’ Kraken with a Modified Double Arm Lock (10:29).
2. Masato Kamino, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga defeated FUMA, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato when Oosugi pinned Kazato with the Tsuki no Ishi (10:46).
3. Takato Nakano defeated Ryuichi Sekine with the Mushagaeshi (11:24).
4. Isami Kodaka & Minoru Fujita defeated Takumi Tsukamoto & SAGAT when Fujita pinned SAGAT with the Modified Samson Clutch (11:56).
5. IRON FIST Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Kazusada Higuchi (c) defeated KUBITO & Yasu Urano when Higuchi pinned KUBITO with the Brain Claw Slam (18:58).
*V2 for Harimao.

An accidental unmasking happened during the main event when Kazusada Higuchi applied the Brain Claw on KUBITO. While applying pressure to the move, Higuchi ended up pulling off KUBITO’s mask, allowing KUBITO to escape. He didn’t care about having his face exposed to everyone and instead tried to capitalize by rolling up Higuchi in the Goro Clutch. Unfortunately Ryota Nakatsu was there to break the pin and Higuchi went on to beat KUBITO with the Brain Claw Slam. After the match KUBITO & Yasu Urano said they don’t know if they will continue teaming with each other in the future.

Shinjuku FACE

1. Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ DDT Vs AJPW: Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Rukiya Vs Ryuki Honda, Yuma Anzai & Ryo Inoue

The DDT Vs AJPW rivalry continues with some upcoming matches being built around DDT’s BURNING against All Japan’s New Period. Rukiya and Ryo Inoue are showing up too.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO SUPER DARIUS ’24”, 09/03/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Mixed Tag Match: Riara & Shota Vs Alex Lee & Tyson Maeguchi

For now this is the last regular Ganbare☆Joshi show on the schedule. Both Riara & Shota will be leaving Ganbare☆Pro soon so this may be the only time they will team together. During the week Riara made her debut for WAVE so there is one possible landing spot for her when she moves on from GanPro.

Banny Oikawa will be on the show.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2024 ~27TH ANNIVERSARY 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 17/03/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Tsubasa Suzuki Debut Match: Tsubasa Suzuki Vs X
2. Special Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Ken Ohka
3. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Yuma Aoyagi
4. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino (c) Vs Ryuki Honda & Yuma Anzai
5. DDT Extreme Title: Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Hideki Okatani
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs X

The last time Shunma Katsumata and Hideki Okatani fought for the Extreme Title, Katsumata won the match but also fractured a bone in his foot. That forced him to vacate the title. Ever since then both he and Okatani dreamed of having a rematch with the same championship on the line. That has now become a reality after Okatani became the No. 1 Contender this week. Katsumata said he will come up with a match stipulation that both of them will approve of.

Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino are the new KO-D Tag Team Champions and want to defend the belts against anyone no matter where they come from. Well here comes Ryuki Honda & Yuma Anzai from AJPW! They had fun wrestling in DDT earlier this week that they want to fight in DDT even more and against stronger opponents. Endo & Iino promised to show them just how much depth DDT has.

Before GanPro goes independent, Ken Ohka must fight his soon to be ex-boss Sanshiro Takagi! Ohka feels the need to face Takagi and defeat him in the first step towards making GanPro grow bigger than DDT. For Takagi this is the biggest test he can give Ohka to see if he will handle his upcoming responsibilities with all of his effort. If Ohka does this half-heartedly then Takagi will destroy him and that could mean DDT will destroy GanPro too!

GANBARE☆PRO “TONIGHT ON THE HILL WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE MOON 2024”, 28/03/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Ueno Special 6-Man Tag Festival: Yuko Miyamoto, Isami Kodaka & Munetatsu Nakamura Vs Shota, Soma Takao & Shinichiro Tominaga

The final GanPro show under CyberFight’s management is inviting Yuko Miyamoto and Isami Kodaka over for fun. It’s been established that Munetatsu Nakamura adores both Miyamoto & Kodaka so getting a chance to team with Yankee Two Kenju must be a dream come true for him.

DDT “DDT GOES PHILADELPHIA!”, 04/04/2024
Penns Landing Caterers Auditorium, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

The next set of wrestlers announced for the show are all familiar faces from the AEW circuit. Nick Wayne, Bryan Keith and Billie Starkz will all be there.

Max Heart Final, Ueno Picks Dieno, Momono Coming To GanJo, TJPW USA Lineup

January 30, 2024

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2024 TOUR IN NAGANO”, 04/02/2024
Nagano Act Hall

1. Hideki Okatani Vs Rukiya
2. Sanshiro Takagi, Yoshitatsu & Yukio Naya Vs Chris Brookes, Takeshi Masada & Kazuma Sumi

6. Nagano Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Toru Owashi & Akihiro Vs Danshoku Dieno, Makoto Oishi & Tetsuya Endo

Yoshihiko has gotten itself into trouble after getting double booked this weekend. It will be travelling to Europe with MAO to wrestle in France and England. However DDT had also booked Yoshihiko for their show in Nagano this Sunday. It’s too late to change plans so DDT is pulling their other battle doll Akihiro out of storage to take Yoshihiko’s place. The company has strictly warned Yoshihiko not to double book itself like that again. However MAO is defending his friend because their European dates were booked well in advance and MAO has been promoting them online since December so DDT had plenty of time to avoid this scenario.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2024 TOUR IN SHINJUKU”, 07/02/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Kazuki Hirata & Danshoku Dieno Vs Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi
2. Jun Akiyama, Yoshitatsu & Soma Takao Vs Toru Owashi, Akito & Kazuma Sumi
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Naya & Makoto Oishi
4. Special Tag Match ~ DDT Vs AJPW: Takeshi Masada & Rukiya Vs Ryuki Honda & Yuma Anzai
5. DDT Extreme Title Next Challenger Match: Hideki Okatani Vs MJ Paul
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & KANON (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino
7. Yukio Sakaguchi Retirement Match: Yukio Sakaguchi Vs HARASHIMA

The DDT Extreme Title picture has a new direction after Shunma Katsumata regained the championship over the weekend and two potential challengers approached him. Hideki Okatani wants to rekindle his rivalry with Katsumata over the title from last year. However MJ Paul has also stepped forward wanting a title shot, even going through the effort to write a letter to declare his challenge. A fight broke out between everyone over the situation so a decision was made to have Okatani and Paul fight each other in a No. 1 Contender’s Match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 4TH “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT”, 10/02/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Shino Suzuki Vs Haru Kazashiro
2. Yuki Kamifuku, Nao Kakuta & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Raku, Pom Harajuku & Ram Kaichow
3. Moka Miyamoto Vs Kaya Toribami
4. Mizuki Vs Zara Zakher
5. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Wakana Uehara & HIMAWARI
6. Miyu Yamashita & Toga Vs Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino
7. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Juria Nagano
8. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo

The Max Heart Tournament could get its first two-time winner if Daydream beats Daisy Monkey in the final. The tournament winners usually move on to challenge for the Princess Tag Team Titles and Rika Tatsumi previously made a suggestion that Miu Watanabe can do two title matches at “GRAND PRINCESS ’24”. Watanabe would go along with the idea even if she isn’t super enthusiastic about it. Suzume & Arisu Endo keep finding ways to get shots at the top teams, Daydream included, but it always ends in failure for them. Will this turn out differently?

Juria Nagano is making sure to do as much as she can in the ring before her graduation in April. Her big goal is to win a championship or tournament. She couldn’t do it in the Max Heart Tournament so now she wants to challenge Yuki Arai for the International Princess Title. Nagano sees Arai as a wrestling senpai to surpass rather than some big celebrity.

The next foreign wrestler to enter Tokyo Joshi Pro is Zara Zakher from the California wrestling scene. She is 22 years old and only been wrestling for a year but her talent and potential as a breakout prospect leads her over to TJPW. Mizuki has been selected to be her opponent for her Korakuen Hall debut.

The opening match is going to give either Shino Suzuki or Haru Kazashiro their first singles win.

Ryo Mizunami and Ram Kaichow are both paying a visit here again.

BASARA “BASARA 241 ~TAKAGARI 22~”, 10/02/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Lil’ Kraken Vs Masahiro Takanashi
2. Ryuichi Sekine Vs Takato Nakano
3. Isami Kodaka & Minoru Fujita Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & SAGAT
4. FUMA, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Daichi Kazato Vs Masato Kamino, Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga
5. IRON FIST Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs KUBITO & Yasu Urano

Masahiro Takanashi is going over to BASARA for a match against Lil’ Kraken.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “GANJO EMERALD DRAGON ’24”, 12/02/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Special Single Match: Riara Vs Kizuna Tanaka
2. Ram Kaichow & Sumire Natsu Vs Kaho Kobayashi & Banny Oikawa
3. Alex Lee & Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Yappy & JC Storm
4. Special Single Match: YuuRI Vs Mio Momono

Last year at “WRESTLE SEKIGAHARA II” there was a joshi tag match with YuuRI and Mio Momono on opposite teams. Now they get to fight each other in Ganbare☆Joshi one on one!

An international tag match gathers together Alex Lee from Bosnia & Herzegovina, Yoshiko Hasegawa from Japan, Yappy from the Philippines and JC Storm from America. Storm is currently in Japan to wrestle for Ice Ribbon.

DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 3 ~TOTONOI TO YOU~”, 14/02/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Hideki Okatani, Yuni & Ilusion Vs Takeshi Masada, Kazuma Sumi & Rukiya
2. ~Kazuki Hirata’s Sauna Room?~: Kazuki Hirata Vs Makoto Oishi Vs Kazusada Higuchi Vs Yukio Naya
3. ~Toy Kojima’s Sauna Room~: Toy Kojima Vs Masato Tanaka
4. ~Shunma Katsumata’s Sauna Room~: Shunma Katsumata Vs Kuroshio TOKYO Japan
5. ~Mao Inoue’s Sauna Room~: MAO Vs Chris Brookes
6. KO-D Openweight Title ~Yuki Ueno’s Sauna Room~: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Danshoku Dieno

A request was made by Yuki Ueno to defend the KO-D Openweight Title against Danshoku Dieno. He wanted his next challenger to be the most interesting person in DDT since the championship is more than just about who is the strongest. There is already a singles match between them booked for The 37KAMIINA’s produce show in Shinjuku FACE. To make his point even clearer, Ueno convinced DDT to turn that match into a KO-D Title bout because it does not matter to him where it takes place. This will be the first KO-D Title match held in front of an audience in around 8 years. Dieno warns Ueno that there’s a reason why the company never wants him to win that championship even if he symbolises the spirit of DDT more than anyone else. The entire direction of the KO-D Title will change if Dieno gets his hands on it!

Kazuki Hirata gets to keep his spot on the show despite turning down The 37KAMIINA’s offer to join their unit. He now has his mind set on creating his own stable and he is searching for potential members.

DDT “PRO WRESTLING WINTER FESTIVAL 2024 IN JOETSU DAY 2 – INTO THE FIGHT 2024 TOUR IN NIIGATA”, 18/02/2024
Niigata Dúo CEREZO

1. Daisuke Sasaki & KANON Vs Yuki Iino & Rukiya
2. Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs HARASHIMA & Akito
3. Kazuki Hirata Vs Toy Kojima
4. Special Tag Match: Jun Akiyama & Yoshitatsu Vs Tetsuya Endo & Makoto Oishi
5. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Super Sasadango Machine

Does Toy Kojima take it personally that Hirata turned him down along with the rest of the sauna boys? Does Hirata take it personally that Kojima is the reason he is no longer the Extreme Champion? If there are any sore feelings between them coming out of the weekend, it’s best to settle them as soon as possible.

GANBARE☆PRO “GANPRO 2024 DESIRE”, 23/02/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. YuuRI & Riara Vs HARUKAZE & Banny Oikawa

The 37KAMIINA are on Kaisei Takechi’s side for his debut. He will team with Ueno & Katsumata for his big first match. Facing them is a trio mixing three wrestlers together. Tetsuya Endo, Hideki Okatani & Takeshi Masada will put the newcomer through his paces.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2024 ~27TH ANNIVERSARY 5 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 17/03/2024

3. Special Single Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Yuma Aoyagi

The very next KO-D Title match was supposed to be at DDT’s 27th Anniversary show until Ueno made his request to fight Dieno. The winner of that headlines Korakuen the next month.

6. Nagano Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Toru Owashi & Yoshihiko Vs Danshoku Dieno, Makoto Oishi & Tetsuya Endo

It’s a little bit of an ALL OUT reunion when Yuki Iino & Akito get to team up without any traces of Pheromones to worry about.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2024 TOUR IN SHINJUKU”, 07/02/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Kazuki Hirata & Danshoku Dieno Vs Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi

The next match in the DDT Vs AJPW series has Takeshi Masada & Rukiya chosen for the home team to take on Ryuki Honda & Yuma Anzai. Honda has a tendency to choke his opponents on the ropes and count along with the referee until he stops to reset the count and repeats the spot. Will the DDT fans count along with him?

BASARA “BASARA 241 ~TAKAGARI 22~”, 10/02/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. IRON FIST Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs KUBITO & Yasu Urano

Two students of Dick Togo have decided to go after the IRON FIST Tag Team Titles. Both KUBITO & Yasu Urano have held the titles before but not with each other. The champions Harimao are starting to find targets on their backs because Aijin Tag are starting to make noise about wanting a title shot too.

Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan
