2. Toru Owashi, Soma Takao & Yukio Naya defeated MAO, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Naya pinned Hirata with a Slap To The Back (0:28).
2a. Rematch: Toru Owashi, Soma Takao & Yukio Naya defeated MAO, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Rakao pinned Hirata with a Running Elbow Butt (9:57).
3. Special Single Match: KANON defeated MJ Paul by Disqualification when Hideki Okatani interfered (9:06).
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku defeated Shinya Aoki, Keigo Nakamura & Kazuma Sumi when Koroku submitted Sumi with the Modified Triangle Lancer (10:44).
5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated Minoru Suzuki & Akito when Ueno submitted Akito with the Blackout Sleeper (16:38).
6. Road To Judgement 2025! Special Tag Match: Masahiro Takanashi & Antonio Honda defeated Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada when Takanashi pinned Brookes with the Bracchus (19:55).

Not long to go now until it’s time for “JUDGEMENT 2025”. Today was the last day for preliminary tag matches involving some of the upcoming title bouts happening at DDT’s 28th Anniversary show. SCHADENFREUDE International was split into two for the main event. Chris Brookes teamed with Takeshi Masada while his next challenger Masahiro Takanashi teamed up with Antonio Honda. Takanashi was on the receiving end of CDK style tag team moves this time. Brookes & Masada gave him the Thrust Kick/Piledriver combo that CDK likes to do. However Takanashi kicked out of the pin and all of a sudden trapped Brookes in the Bracchus to score a win over the KO-D Openweight Champion! The message is clear. No matter what Brookes does to Takanashi, Takanashi will take the KO-D Title from him in the end! Takanashi even said after the match that those three seconds are worth more than the six years they’ve been together!

The other prelim match of note is the only time Yuki Ueno and Minoru Suzuki were facing each other before their DDT Universal Title match. At first Suzuki overwhelmed Ueno with submission holds as well as attacks outside of the ring. To-y suffered the same when Suzume brushed off his Chops and knocked To-y down with only one of his own. However To-y rescued Ueno from the Gotch-Style Piledriver, giving Ueno the space to put Akito in the Blackout Sleeper and win by submission. Suzuki told Ueno after the match he isn’t going to give him the usual B-Grade warnings to hype up their title match. Instead he encouraged him to give the fans a more fun and intense match at Korakuen Hall. One that will destroy Korakuen with the combined force of all their might! Ueno admitted today was a painful match but he hasn’t had enough fun yet to give up the belt now.

KANON is now living a life where he has to fight by himself. His match with MJ Paul immediately went sideways because the rest of DAMNATION T.A would attack him at ringside. Part of the attack included Hideki Okatani hitting KANON with a bamboo stick. Ilusion then interfered when KANON put Paul in the Cobra Twist. KANON fought him off and went to finish Paul off when Okatani returned with another bamboo stick attack. He then hit the referee with it causing the match to end in disqualification. Daisuke Sasaki told KANON he is going to teach him a lesson and end him on 20th March. He then broke a chair over his head. Okatani told KANON a powerless guy like him has no choice but to be controlled by DAMNATION T.A. Backstage KANON said he knows better than anyone what they do because he was with the unit for three years. He promised to get revenge on them and kill Sasaki at Korakuen!

Something was off about Hisaya Imabayashi today. When Match #2 ended in seconds like a Kazuki Hirata match usually does, the GM didn’t react to it. Instead he jusy looked depressed. This made the wrestlers all concerned for him so he explained lately he has lost his passion for wrestling. Everyone agreed to have an immediate rematch and make it so exciting that Imabayashi would care enough to get angry again when they eventually ruin it. It took some effort but they eventually helped Imabayashi find his passion again and enter the match to stop their nonsense. He was then quickly incapacitated by Danshoku Dieno’s Hell Gate.

Before NωA Jr. started their musical performance Yuni tried to roll up Shunma Katsumata in a failed attempt to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Katsumata kicked out and after an awkward moment or two the group sang their song like nothing had happened.

DDT “DDT MEET & GREET & FIGHT MARCH” Results

March 6, 2025

DDT “DDT MEET & GREET & FIGHT MARCH”, 06/03/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Yuki Ishida defeated Kazuma Sumi with the Flame Palm (6:32).
2. To-y & Yukio Naya defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Naya pinned Hirata with a Slap To The Back (0:14).
2a. Prevent An Instant Kill! A Death Match Where You Can’t Go Home Until You’ve Eaten All Of The Akagi Nyugyo Style GariGarikun: To-y & Yukio Naya defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when To-y pinned Hirata with the Kojima In Wonderland (15:05).
3. Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku defeated Takeshi Masada & Keigo Nakamura when Koroku submitted Nakamura with the Modified Triangle Lancer (12:51).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Shunma Katsumata defeated To-y (c) by submission (7:21 pm).
*Shunma Katsumata becomes the 1,737nd champion.

It was a cold evening to hold a pro wrestling show outdoors. It was a good thing for the wrestlers that it was a short one as part of the “MEET & GREET & FIGHT” series. In the main event Keigo Nakamura tried joining in with the SCHADENFREUDE International shenanigans and Chris Brookes also interfered to help out Takeshi Masada. However HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku were able to withstand the disadvantage and went on to win the match. Koroku afterward called this team the HARASHIMA Smile Camp and said he is now in great shape for next month’s KO-D Openweight Title match.

As already mentioned, it was cold out today and the wrestlers were effected by it. Match #2 only lasted 14 seconds when Yukio Naya slapped Kazuki Hirata over the back which was enough to pin him immediately. Hisaya Imabayashi was furious over how fast the match was and came up with a punishment. He knows a normal rematch would end quickly a second time so he told the two teams they’re not allowed to win the match until they eat three ice pops. To-y and Danshoku Dieno in particular really didn’t want to eat them and had to force themselves into doing it. Hirata though was in the mood to do a magic trick. He stuck the last ice pop into Dieno’s Hell Gate and when he pulled it back out it had transformed into a chocolate ice cream! He forced Naya to take a bite but To-y then did the same to him before winning the match with the Kojima Impact.

The cold weather came into play again during the photo session held after the show. Shunma Katsumata ambushed To-y and wrapped him up in tape until he was immobilized. Katsumata demanded To-y to give him back the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title but he refused. So Katsumata started force feeding him ice pops until he gave up, which counted as an Iron Man Title change. To-y had to go straight back to the photo session after he was freed.

Chances are somebody on the card will be the one to approach the champion at the end of the show to make the Korakuen challenge.

For the first time ever there will be a Falls Count Anywhere Blindfold Scramble Bunkhouse Match. We will quickly figure out why there was never one done before this.

DDT “O-HANAMI PRO WRESTLING 2025 – DAY 2”, 27/03/2025

1. Maximum Allowance Of 5,000 Yen For Bringing The Weapons Death Match: Takeshi Masada & Keigo Nakamura Vs Yuni & Munetatsu Nakamura

There will be a Wrestlers Bring The Weapons Death Match on the undercard. However each wrestler in the match is given a 5,000 yen budget and they cannot spend past it for their weapon of choice.

DDT “CHANGE AGE 2025 ~YOUR LIE IN APRIL~”, 06/04/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Hideki Okatani Return Match: Hideki Okatani Vs X
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Yuya Koroku

The masked dancer Kumadori is coming back to DDT this April. He made his pro wrestling debut during “ULTIMATE PARTY 2024” at the end of last year with the rest of O-MENZ by his side. Will they all be there with him again?

BASARA “BASARA 275 ~YOKOHAMA MONOGATARI 2~”, 12/04/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Iron Fist Tag Team Titles: Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA (c) Vs Daiki Shimomura & Keisuke Ishii

Will Shimomura & Ishii become a well oiled tag team in time to challenge Ryuichi Sekine & FUMA for the belts? Ishii has never held the Iron Fist Tag Titles. FUMA has never directly beaten Ishii so that is why he is giving him this chance at winning the belts.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “QUERI PRESENTS TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS”, 18/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Special Single Match: Masha Slamovich Vs Miu Watanabe
2. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs X
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Vs X & X
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs X

The first match is made official for the Las Vegas Tokyo Joshi Pro show. Miu Watanabe is getting another big name foreign opponent by facing Masha Slamovich! I think this match being put together has blown open the possibilities for who will get the title matches on the same show. Whenever Slamovich is booked by TJPW she usually hovers around the champions but here she is getting Watanabe in a big first time matchup. That means Watanabe is also off the table for being in any of the title matches.

DDT “DDT GOES LAS VEGAS!”, 18/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Special Single Match: Antonio Honda Vs Santana Jackson
2. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Timothy Thatcher

Two new names are added to the lineup. Konosuke Takeshita will be there and so too will Shunma Katsumata. No mention yet if either will be on the next day’s “DDT VS TJPW VS GCW” show. Katsumata will likely be added but I doubt Takeshita will be there.

According to Yoshiko Hasegawa herself tomorrow might be the last time she runs an independent wrestling show. She already put one together with with Riara last year after they both left Ganbare☆Pro. She is doing this one on her birthday because it’s her only chance to wrestle Hikari Shimizu before Shimizu’s retirement.

One the last BASARA show Ayumu Honda continued to attack KUBITO to the point where it tried to injure his arm. The two will meet each other again but this time in a tag match with Yasu Urano and Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi also involved. Maybe Hiroshi’s yoga antics can calm everyone down.

5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Minoru Suzuki & Akito
6. Road To Judgement 2025! Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Masahiro Takanashi & Antonio Honda

Is SCHADENFREUDE International about to eat itself alive over the KO-D Openweight Title? When the title match takes place both Chris Brookes and Masahiro Takanashi are going to have the fight of their lives. The prelim tag could be a preview of what to expect or perhaps might be the last chance they get to have some fun in the ring together before their big title fight. It looks like Takeshi Masada and Antonio Honda are taking sides already too.

Before KANON can get his hands on Daisuke Sasaki, first he will have to get past MJ Paul.

M&A “SANSHIRO TAKAGI 30TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT ~MATCHMAKE & AGENT~”, 09/04/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Jun Kasai Vs Maki Itoh
2. Special Tag Match: Yuji Nagata & Kuroshio TOKYO Japan Vs Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei

The second match booked for Sanshiro Takagi’s new project will answer the question of who will win in a battle of charisma? Will it be the death match charisma of Jun Kasai or the new era joshi charisma of Maki Itoh?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “QUERI PRESENTS TJPW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS”, 18/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs X
2. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Vs X & X

Not only do they now have a show sponsor but they confirmed all three of their championships will be defended at the show. The card will be put together after “GRAND PRINCESS ’25” has wrapped up and the results on that show will help determine what matches will happen in Vegas.

DDT “NEXT GENERATION 2025 ~KISARAGI ROMAN~” Results

February 23, 2025

DDT “NEXT GENERATION 2025 ~KISARAGI ROMAN~”, 23/02/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Toru Owashi & Yuki Ishida defeated Yuni & Kazuma Sumi when Ishida pinned Sumi with the Flame Palm (5:10).
2. Special Single Match: Kazuki Hirata defeated Antonio Honda with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (7:11).
3. Special Tag Match: Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Koju “Shining Ball” Takeda Vs Super Sasadango Machine & Yumehito Imanari ended in a No Contest (11:12).
4. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated To-y, Jun Akiyama, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Daichi Sato when KANON pinned Matsunaga with the Sleepy Hollow (9:32).
5. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Baliyan Akki defeated Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura when Brookes pinned Nakamura with the Praying Mantis Bomb (9:46).
6. “Brave Bang Bravern!” Collaboration 6-Man Tag Match ~ Bravern Debut Match: Bravern, Yuki Ueno & MAO defeated Yukio Naya, Akito & Soma Takao when Bravern pinned Takao with the Brave Cross Stinger (17:29).
7. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – Final: Yuya Koroku defeated Takeshi Masada with the Modified Triangle Lancer (16:40).

DDT really wanted to shine a spotlight on their new generation of wrestlers so they placed this year’s D GENERATIONS CUP final in the main event of today’s Korakuen Hall show. With a future KO-D Openweight Title shot on the line, Takeshi Masada and Yuya Koroku faced off in a rematch of the 2023 DGC final. At first Koroku went for his usual game plan to target the arm until he started pulling out moves from his former BURNING allies. He used the Intercept DDT from Yusuke Okada and the Spinning Torture Rack Bomb from Tetsuya Endo. He also had Masada’s finisher scouted and countered the move into the Chickenwing Arm Lock before switching over to the Triangle Lancer. Masada had no answer to that and gave up, making Koroku the third tournament winner!

Koroku thanked the fans for supporting him and talked about what happened five months ago when he was humiliated in this ring. He thought about quitting but the fan support gave him the strength to get to this point. This is just the beginning because on 6th April he will get his KO-D title match at Korakuen Hall. Backstage he told reporters that he wouldn’t have come this far without BURNING because they taught him so much about everything. He also thinks it is an honour he will get to fight for the KO-D Title exactly four years into his career. He made himself a promise at the start of the year and this April he will fulfill it by winning that title!

There was something familiar surrounding the Brave Bang Bravern collaboration match that I just can’t put my finger on. The giant mecha Bravern was shrunk down to human size for its debut pro wrestling match. It teamed with Yuki Ueno (back from his health scare) & MAO to take on the team of Yukio Naya, Akito & Soma Takao who were representing the show’s bad guys. One of the voice actors for the show (and also the current Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion) Tetsu Inada watched from the commentary booth but became so invested in the match he moved down to ringside. There he saw Bravern, Ueno & MAO give Akito a Triple Razor’s Edge from the corner. Bravern then used the Somato Brave Cross Stinger on Akito to get the pinfall. He thanked Ueno & MAO for helping him save DDT with their fiery spirit and indomitable courage. If DDT is ever in trouble again they can call for his help. In return Ueno & MAO suggested they can show up in Season 2 of the anime if it ever gets made.

In a last minute change to the show Masahiro Takanashi became ill with fever symptoms and was replaced by Baliyan Akki. He and Chris Brookes still meshed together well as a tag team. Perhaps a little too well because when Brookes tried to slap Keigo Nakamura and Nakamura ducked, Akki saw it coming and blocked it before instinctively slapping Brookes back. That minor setback gave Nakamura & Shinya Aoki a chance to get the win but it didn’t work out for them. In the end Brookes got his second wind, dodged Nakamura’s Diving Headbutt and eventually pinned him with the Praying Mantis Bomb.

After the match Hisaya Imabayashi approached Brookes in the ring. He had given him a month to decide who he wants defend the KO-D Title against at DDT’s 28th Anniversary show on 20th March. Brookes knew who to pick and decided to ring the person on his phone right there in the ring. The call was answered and it turned out to be Masahiro Takanashi on the other end! Brookes asked his CDK partner to challenge him for a title match. Takanashi said he knew Brookes would pick him and asked if it was out of kindness for all that he has done for him? Brookes told him it is an important show so he wants to fight a strong Takanashi, not a kind one. He will kill him in the ring if he has to! Takanashi promised he will give it his all and take the belt from Brookes so he will be the one defending it against the DGC winner in April!

A ragtag bunch of babyfaces were not able to beat DAMNATION T.A in an 8-Man Tag Match. To-y tried to take charge by telling Jun Akiyama to grab Ilusion and hold him still. To-y then missed his attack and hit Akiyama instead so Akiyama angrily yelled at him while DAMNATION T.A were beating up To-y. Akiyama had a much better time doing teamwork with Daichi Sato. The youngster even went toe to toe with MJ Paul until the match broke down into a brawl. To-y ended up hitting Akiyama by accident again and nobody was there to save Tomomitsu Matsunaga from being pinned by KANON. Akiyama got a shot in on To-y for revenge after the match.

The day wasn’t over for DAMNATION T.A yet. All of a sudden Hideki Okatani walked down to the ring armed with a bamboo stick. He climbed inside and attacked KANON with it while the rest of DAMNATION T.A… joined in on the attack! After the beatdown Daisuke Sasaki introduced Okatani as DAMANTION T.A’s newest crazy member and then announced KANON has been kicked out of the group! According to Sasaki, KANON has become too smug and no good for the unit so it is time to say goodbye. Okatani then called KANON a brown-nosing wrestler for always pandering to the crowd before hitting him again with the bamboo stick until it broke.

Okatani explained even more backstage, revealing that KANON has actually been cut off from the unit a long time ago. Sasaki called KANON the biggest failure he has ever created but now he has created his new masterpiece in Okatani. He then claimed that Okatani will have his return match in April. He tore his ACL last April so a year will have passed when he wrestles again. KANON was in tears backstage because he doesn’t know what he did to deserve this. He demanded a singles match with Sasaki to settle things and DDT ended up booking it for 20th March. Lost in the middle of this is what will happen with the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles? DAMNATION T.A are the current title holders and KANON was part of the champion team.

Hisaya Imabayashi’s worst nightmare came back to life for one night only. There was supposed to be a full blown Pheromones reunion but it got hampered when Yuki Iino got injured. Super Sasadango Machine filled in for him and Yumehito Imanari appeared as his normal self. But Danshoku Dieno & Koju Takeda both showed up acting like their Pheromones personas. The match eventually became too lewd for any audience and Imabayashi had to call it off by using a towel to cover anything that should not be seen on a live broadcast. He paid the price and Pheromones rendered him unconscious with their salacious attacks.

While this was all happening, Sasadango made his way up to the commentary table and grabbed everyone’s attention with his latest PowerPoint presentation. It was titled “Characteristics And Practical Methods Of People Who Are Good At Schedule Management.” He explained how posters can be used to promote his matches and pointed out he does not have a match yet for the 28th Anniversary show despite being on the poster. So he is challenging Dieno to a DDT Extreme Title match for 20th March! It will be a special day for DDT and Dieno is a special wrestler for the company. Also the Extreme Title is the only proper DDT championship Sasadango has ever held. He even added an extra condition to make the match even more special. It will be the last time Sasadango will challenge for that title! Dieno refused the challenge but only so he can nominate Sasadango as his next challenger. He also told Imabayashi he wants his alter ego Amon Tsurumi to be part of the match as the special referee! Together these three old men promise to put on the worst match ever!

Kazuki Hirata had a lot of down time while he was recovering from his knee injury so he occupied himself by watching a lot of wrestling. By doing so he made the eye opening discovery that nobody else dances during their matches. So for his return match he wanted to take things seriously and wrestle properly. Too bad his opponent Antonio Honda wanted to see him dance instead and kept tempting him to put the Hirata GO glasses back on. Hirata couldn’t take it but just when he was about to put on the glasses, Honda attacked him. Hirata fought back though and pinned Honda with the Miracle One Shot Cradle before getting to dance as his true self again.

Hirata then had an announcement to make about his 15th Anniversary Match on 12th March. He and Keisuke Ishii are going to team up with someone special to take on YO-HEY, Kenshin Chikano & Soma Takao. The third man on his team is Hiromu Takahashi! He said he is putting everything he has into the production of this show so everyone will have a happy time together.

The show began with a song performance by NωA Jr. (no doubt trying to impress Kaisei Takechi over at the commentary booth. When they were done Yuni & Kazuma Sumi then faced Toru Owashi & Yuki Ishida in the opening bout. Owashi did a little bit of lucha before switching over to sumo which fitted in more with Ishida’s Dosukoi spirit. Sumi tried to win with a Lionsault and the School Boy but Ishida threw him over with a Scooping German Suplex and pinned him with the Flame Palm.

DDT “REMBRANDT HIGHWAY SERIES 2025 ICHIGO BOUT IN EBINA” Results

February 16, 2025

DDT “REMBRANDT HIGHWAY SERIES 2025 ICHIGO BOUT IN EBINA”, 16/02/2025
Kanagawa Rembrandt Hotel Ebina (3F La Rose)
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated Toru Owashi & Soma Takao when Sasaki submitted Takao with the Crossface Lock (8:02).
2. Makoto Oishi defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with an Inverted Hurricanrana (7:24).
3. Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato defeated Yuya Koroku & Keigo Nakamura when Masada pinned Nakamura with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (10:50).
4. Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda defeated Yuni & Kazuma Sumi when Dieno pinned Sumi with the Gaydo Clutch (12:34).
5. SCHADENFREUDE International Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi defeated KANON & Ilusion when Takanashi pinned Ilusion after the Praying Mantis Bomb from Brookes (11:42).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, To-y & Yukio Naya defeated Jun Akiyama, HARASHIMA & Akito when MAO submitted Akito with a Twister (19:12).

The main event finish was MAO submitting Akito? That’s unusual. What happened was MAO went for the Iai Kick and Akito caught his foot. Akito then pulled MAO into a Knee Lock but MAO was able to reposition himself in the hold and counter it into a Twister submission.

The hotel manager was dragged into Match #4 because Danshoku Dieno wanted to give him a kiss all day. Antonio Honda ended up hitting him during the Gongitsune spot. However after Dieno won the match, the manager gave him a kiss and the two walked off holding each other by the hand.

Takeshi Masada is confident he will crush Yuya Koroku at the D GENERATIONS CUP final. Not only did his team beat Koroku’s team today but it was clear from the press conference during the week that Koroku is carrying a lot of regret and insecurity into the final. He wants to take his frustration out on Masada though and Masada understands it will make the match more exciting. Koroku doesn’t care how he looks during the match. He promises to break Masada’s arm and nose to win the Cup!

DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 4 ~LOVE SO SAUNA~” Results

February 14, 2025

DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 4 ~LOVE SO SAUNA~”, 14/02/2025
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Big NeppoWER!!: Shinya Aoki defeated Keigo Nakamura with the Camel Clutch Full Nelson Hold (10:55).
2. 120℃ High Temperature Sauna Match: Sauna Oyakata & Sauna Kobun defeated Naya Tonttu & Kazuma Sumi when Kobun submitted Sumi with the O-Manjigatame (8:02).
3. Totonoi ALL OUT: Shin KONOSUKE TAKESHITA defeated Shin Shunma Katsumata and Akito when Shin TAKESHITA pinned Shin Katsumata with the Raging Fire (10:42).
4. Ueno Nordic Presents ~Yuki Ueno Löyly~: Takeshi Masada defeated Kuishinbo Kamen and Kikutaro when Masada pinned both Kamen and Kikutaro (11:23).
5. BZW Tag Team Title – NELJAS Presents ~MAO Löyly~: MAO & Yoshihiko (c) defeated Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi when Yoshihiko pinned Takanashi after the Double Rainmaker (18:59).
*V2 for MAO & Yoshihiko.
6. SeaSaunaShack Presents ~To-y Löyly~: Shuji Kondo defeated To-y with the King Kong Lariat (19:20).

All four members of The 37KAMIINA gathered everyone over to Shinjuku FACE for a wrestling show that is supposed to spread the feeling you get being in a sauna. Only two members of the group were actually able to wrestle because of injuries and health scares for the other two. To-y was one of them, fighting against another sauna lover Shuji Kondo in the main event. To-y did his best and even landed the Kojima Wonderland but some well timed Lariats from Kondo put the match in his favour. Kondo received a free bathing ticket from the match sponser for winning the match. Kondo said he heard rumours about how good To-y is and he was impressed with him today. If this show happens again next year he would like to have a rematch. To-y said he had a dream where he fought Kondo and lost. He also lost the real match today. That means the next time they fight will be the third match and it will be third time’s the charm for To-y to beat Kondo!

The BZW Tag Team Titles were defended in Japan for a second time when MAO & Yoshihiko put them on the line against a determined CDK. The tag champs were put in mortal danger when Chris Brookes choked both of them with the rubber strap and hung both of them from the ropes over the ring apron. He also did the stretch band attack with Yoshihiko still attached, launching the doll into MAO. But Yoshihiko landed on Brookes with a dive and gave Masahiro Takanashi a Canadian Destroyer. Takanashi kicked out of the Somato so MAO & Yoshihiko combined their powers to give him the Double Rainmaker for the victory. MAO said the team is ready to defend the belts in BZW again and will be going to Belgium next motnh. He heard BZW is running a show in Las Vegas during WrestleMania week so he & Yoshihiko can be there too. Takanashi was disappointed he didn’t win the title because he wants to go to France. That made Brookes wonder wouldn’t it be better if they won the titles in France instead of Japan?

It is in the bucket list of every Osaka wrestler to take part in a Kuishinbo Kamen Vs Kikutaro match with Yukinori Matsui as the referee. Sadly for Takeshi Masada none of them wanted him to be part of it. Whenever he tried to take part in their spots they either ignored him or shoved him aside. Masada had to fight them properly but ended up getting a DDT from Matsui. That caused Kamen and Kikutaro to figure out it is much more fun to fight Matsui so they attacked him. Matsui fought them off, knocked them down with a Double Lariat and gave Masada a Facebuster on top of them. Masada was left on top of the pile so Matsui counted the pin, making Matsui the winner.

Plans for an ALL OUT reunion fell apart for one reason or another but a Konosuke Takeshita did show up as advertised. Shin Konosuke Takeshita made a grand entrance along with Shin Don Callis, ready to take part in a 3 Way Match against Shin Shunma Katsumata (who looks an awful lot like Yuni) and Akito (who actually really was just Akito). Callis disappeared midway through the match which is exactly when Shin Yuki Iino did a run in spot. He stayed around to help Shin Takeshita pull off her big moves like the German Suplex and the Raging Fire.

A bunch of people booked for Match #2 pulled out of the show for various reasons. Danshoku Dieno was busy minding his pet dog Haku and didn’t want to leave him, Fuminori Abe needed to exorcise his demons at a waterfall and Yukio Naya was recently banned from saunas for having bad manners. So Kazuma Sumi was put in the ring with the sauna fairy Naya Tonttu to fight Sauna Oyakata (Dieno) & Sauna Kobun (Abe). However Tonttu felt the room was too cold so he abandoned Sumi early in the match. He eventually returned when Sumi called for his help it was not enough for them to win the match.

Shinya Aoki put Keigo Nakamura to the test with a challenging singles match. Nakamura got some moments by moving Aoki from a European Clutch into a Gedo Clutch but once he tried to target Aoki’s foot, Aoki reversed course and worked over Nakamura’s leg. Nakamura then put him in the Full Nelson and repositioned it into a Camel Clutch to make Nakamura submit.

At the end of the show MAO encouraged To-y by telling him they will continue to defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles as many times as they can. He called for any team to come out and challenge them. Suddenly Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura walked down to the ring. MAO thought they were hear to challenge him & Yoshihiko for the BZW Tag Titles. Nope, Astronauts are answering the call for a KO-D Tag Titles match! Abe also revealed that there is only one Toy in wrestling who they answer to and it is Yuki Ishikawa (because his real first name is Toyohiko). MAO wants to be in top condition for the match so everyone agreed it will take place at DDT’s 28th Anniversary show on 20th March.

Also at the end of the show Shunma Katsumata had an announcement to make. MAO kept guessing it was Katsumata’s retirement. Thankfully it is not. Katsumata will be returning to the ring on 20th March! He’s been out of action since November with a torn ACL in his left knee.

At the start of the show Yuki Ueno greeted the audience and told them he is currently feeling fine. He is unable to wrestle this weekend after being examined for hematuria symptoms.

Ueno Has A Medical Scare, 1st Anniversary Of Nanase’s Debut, Aoki Vs Thatcher In Vegas

DDT “NEPPA OVER FLOWERS 4 ~LOVE SO SAUNA~”, 14/02/2025

6. SeaSaunaShack Presents ~To-y Löyly~: To-y Vs Shuji Kondo

During the week Yuki Ueno had been experiencing hematuria symptoms and went for an examination. His CT scan found no abnormalities in his kidneys but his doctor advised him not to do any strenuous exercise until they get more detailed results and figure out what might be wrong with him. Ueno will be unable to wrestle until then so he will not be in action for any of this weekend’s shows. He is allowed to attend some of the events though so he will be at the venue to greet the fans.

Ueno will be replaced by Takeshi Masada on tomorrow’s show. He was chosen because he is from Osaka so he should be able to fit in with Kuishinbo Kamen and Kikutaro.

Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Mizuki, Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Suzume Vs Rika Tatsumi, Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Arisu Endo

This is not TJPW’s go home show for “GRAND PRINCESS ’25” but we’re getting the usual Champions Vs Challengers preview tag match that is always a good time.

Yuki Arai will be on the show. Mifu Ashida will not because of a scheduling conflict.

DDT “DDT GOES LAS VEGAS!”, 18/04/2025
Pearl Theater At Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

1. Special Single Match: Antonio Honda Vs Santana Jackson
2. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Timothy Thatcher

I get the feeling that even though DDT’s Las Vegas show this year will be nothing like the usual DDT card, it’s still going to end up becoming one of the most unique shows of the entire week. The second match announced sounds like something out of “BLOODSPORT” because Shinya Aoki is going to fight Timothy Thatcher! DDT is expecting this to be a submission heavy match between two specialists of the style.

At yesterday’s DDT show Yuki Iino suffered a fractured orbital injury in his right eye which means he will be out of action for a while. The “ALL OUT” match will go on without him. It is now changed from a tag bout to a 3 Way Match with the remaining participants.

Yuki Ishida is still feeling unwell so he is no longer wrestling on this show. Kazuma Sumi takes his place in the opening match.

7. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – Final: Takeshi Masada Vs Yuya Koroku

A press conference was held by DDT today to promote the D GENERATIONS CUP final. It was there when Takeshi Masada and Yuya Koroku were told that the final is going to main event Korakuen Hall! The surprise completely threw Masada off guard because up until now he had everything calculated and going to plan. The final being moved to the main event wasn’t part of those calculations. He tried to play it cool and still thinks he will win and move on to challenge Chris Brookes for the KO-D Openweight Title. Koroku does not care who the KO-D Champion will be if he wins the final and gets the title shot instead.

Super Sasadango Machine takes Iino’s place in the Pheromones reunion match. That means the 3 Way Match he was originally booked for is now just Kazuki Hirata against Antonio Honda.

BASARA “BASARA 272 ~TAKAGARI 27~”, 02/03/2025
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Daichi Kazato Vs Kuishinbo Kamen
2. Union MAX Title: Masato Kamino (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu

The Union MAX Title reign is off to a good start for Masato Kamino but is he becoming to smug about it? He has really become proud of his muscular body as of late. However Ryota Nakatsu thinks that Kamino loves himself so much it’s starting to overshadow BASARA and the MAX Title.

The guests for this show are Kuishinbo Kamen, Keisuke Ishii, Ayumu Honda and Akira Jo.

2. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Arisu Endo
3. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
4. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi

No need to worry about 121000000 being banned from Japan. They successfully defended the Princess Tag Team Titles in Chile and will have no trouble travelling home where Kyoraku Kyomei will be waiting for them.

Daisy Monkey are going to explode! One of the other mainstay tag teams in Tokyo Joshi Pro have an important match going on too. Suzume and Arisu Endo will be facing each other for the International Princess Title!

A match two and a half years in the making will finally happen. Willow Nightingale was supposed to face Miu Watanabe one on one back at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22” but travel issues cancelled her tour. While she eventually did get to wrestle in Japan with TJPW, the singles match with Watanabe never happened. It’s been a long wait but it’s finally going to take place next month!

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~ZUNDAMOCHI~” Results

February 9, 2025

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~ZUNDAMOCHI~”, 09/02/2025
Miyagi Yume Messe Miyagi
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. HARASHIMA & Keigo Nakamura defeated Soma Takao & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Nakamura pinned Matsunaga with the Modified Crucifix Pin (9:03).
2. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – B Block: Yuni (1) Vs Kazuma Sumi (3) ended in a Time Limit Draw (15:00).
3. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles – 3 Way 6-Man Tag Team Match: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul (c) defeated Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi & Antonio Honda and Danshoku Dieno, Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi when Sasaki pinned Honda after the Freedom Call (11:05).
*V6 for DAMNATION T.A.
4. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – A Block: Takeshi Masada (6) defeated Ilusion (2) with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (9:52).
5. D GENERATIONS CUP 2025 – B Block: Yuya Koroku (4) defeated To-y (4) with the Chickenwing Arm Lock (12:16).
6. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & MAO defeated Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya when MAO pinned Naya with the Iai Kick (20:29).

A Block

1. Takeshi Masada (6)
2. Ilusion (2)
-. Keigo Nakamura (2)
-. Yuki Ishida (2)

B Block

1. Yuya Koroku (4)
-. To-y (4)
3. Kazuma Sumi (3)
4. Yuni (1)

MAO successfully protected his home region against the heavyweights thanks to some help from Yuki Ueno. He was in a lot of trouble when Yukio Naya hit him with three Knee Lifts in a row. Luckily for him, Ueno reached out from the apron and grabbed his hand to block Naya from pulling off The World’s Best Back Drop. MAO then hit Naya with a few Whirlwind Kicks before finishing him off with the Iai Kick. He said if the result went the other way then Miyagi would have gotten a new “Burning” ambassador in the form of Yuki Iino instead. MAO thanked the fans for supporting DDT, noting that the amount of tickets sold on the day made DDT add another two rows of seating before the show began. He announced DDT’s next show in Miyagi will take place on 4th May. He would like to go back to his hometown of Osaki City but is waiting to find an opponent even better than Minoru Suzuki to make it an even bigger show.

The block stages have come to an end and we now know the two men heading to the D GENERATIONS CUP final. Last year’s winner To-y has fallen at the last moment, losing to Yuya Koroku. Both wrestlers hit dives on each other and Koroku countered the Kojima Impact into the Chickenwing Arm Lock to make To-y tap out. That means Koroku advances to the final thanks to the head to head rule! This is the second time such a scenario has prevented To-y from reaching the final so he has grown to hate the rule. Koroku said he has lost many kinds of matches to To-y over the last couple of months but today he got his revenge by advancing to the finals at To-y’s expense.

Meeting Koroku in the final on 23rd February is Takeshi Masada who defeated his hated enemy Ilusion. That match featured a ref bump and a lot of cheating from Ilusion but Masada overcame the threat to win. Ilusion is trying to throw dirt on Masada’s win by blaming the the referee. He only lost because of the ref and the entire DDT organisation doesn’t want him to reach the final! Masada said everything is still going just as he calculated, even when the unexpected get in the way. When wants to win the Cup and then go challenge Chris Brookes for the KO-D Openweight Title.

The third DGC match on the show had a slim chance of influencing Block B. If Kazuma Sumi won this match and Ilusion had beaten Masada then there would have been a 3 Way tie that had to be decided with a sudden death 3 Way Match. Instead Sumi fought Yuni to a 15 minute draw, ending whatever chance Sumi had left of reaching the final. Both wrestlers were exhausted by the end of the match and Shunma Katsumata had to check on his fellow NωA Jr. members afterward.

Due to illnesses to both Akito and Yuki Ishida, Match #4 ended up becoming a 3 Way Trios match between DAMNATION T.A, SCHADENFREUDE International and a briefly reunited D.O.A. However hours before the show began, Danshoku Dieno sat himself down in front of the only restroom available for the wrestlers backstage out of protest. He wasn’t going to get back up until the match had the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles on the line. Both Makoto Oishi and Kazuma Sumi ended up joining the protest (Sumi was just because he badly needed to use the restroom) so DDT eventually caved into the demand. DAMNATION T.A ended up winning the 3 Way Match and now have the record for most 6-Man Tag Title defences in a single reign.
