7a. Rematch: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata defeated HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi when Katsumata pinned Dieno after the Our Mad Max (6:15).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Danshoku Dieno defeated Shunma Katsumata (c) with the Gaydo Clutch (6:04 pm).
*Danshoku Dieno becomes the 1,673rd champion.

For the first time in a long time DDT worked with Rembrandt Hotel to hold a show in one of their ballrooms. The main event had an unexpected title change when midway through the match both teams got into a convoluted spot at ringside and Shunma Katsumata suddenly pinned Danshoku Dieno on the floor to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Dieno would then lose the match proper when MAO reversed the Gaydo Clutch and pinned him using a regular Gedo Clutch. Makoto Oishi asked for a rematch this time as a 6-Man Tag. The hotel manager was so touched by Oishi’s speech he gave his approval to Hisaya Imabayashi and permitted them to go ahead with it. The 37KAMIINA would win the match again by pinning Dieno once more. Dieno would finally get his own back hours after the show ended when he attacked Katsumata during the post-show fan event. In the attack he gave Katsumata the Lip Lock and then the Gaydo Clutch to win back the Iron Man Title.

Katsumata’s busy day also saw him beat Oishi in a singles match for the first time ever. They agreed to add a Hardcore rule where each would be allowed to choose a weapon that would be placed at the entrance. Only those weapons were allowed. Katsumata chose a box full of block toys while Oishi’s weapon was a steel chain. Katsumata would use the Miracle Ecstasy to slam Oishi onto the blocks. He then wrapped the chain around his own waist and hit the Totonou Splash for the win. The two were joined by Yuni & Kazuma Sumi after the match. All four of them danced together as Shin NωA. Katsumata later promised the next time he fights Oishi he will try to win without using any weapons.

Yuki Iino’s team lost to Yukio Naya’s team today but Iino is still confident he will defend the DDT Universal Title against Naya at Korakuen Hall next Sunday. He is still more BURNING than Naya and will burn even more at the title match. Naya said the audience who will see them at Korakuen will be a mixture of long time fans and first time viewers. He believes everyone won’t be able to take their eyes off of himself and Iino when the two heavyweights clash with each other.

After Match #4 Ilusion challenged DAMNATION T.A to a KO-D Tag Team Titles match. Daisuke Sasaki took a minute to drink a glass of beer before making a decision. He decided he will accept a challenge from SCHADENFREUDE International but he will not accept any challenge from Ilusion because he wears a weird looking mask! Chris Brookes comforted Ilusion because he thinks the challenge was a good idea. It was later decided that Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada will be the SCHADENFREUDE team getting the title shot on 3rd October.

DDT “DRAMATIC DENSHI TICKET IN SHINJUKU” Results

September 20, 2024

DDT “DRAMATIC DENSHI TICKET IN SHINJUKU”, 20/09/2024
Shinjuku FACE

4. Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo defeated To-y with the Burning Star Press (14:18).
5. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami, KANON & MJ Paul defeated HARASHIMA, Soma Takao, Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi when Kawakami pinned Sumi with the Thunder Fire Power Bomb (9:39).

7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & Shunma Katsumata defeated Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada (c) when MAO submitted Masada with the Dick Killer (21:36).
*SCHADENFREUDE International fails in V1. ShunMao becomes the 84th KO-D Tag Team Champions!

ShunMao have won the KO-D Tag Team Titles they had to give up almost a year and a half ago! The match was supposed to be held under regular tag rules but chaos broke out immediately when the two teams tried attacking each other with the title belts. Right after that a brawl broke out with everybody from both SCHADENFREUDE International and The 37KAMIINA. Things calmed down only to get chaotic again after Yukinori Matsui suffered from a ref bump. ShunMao could have gotten the win earlier when they gave Takeshi Masada the Our Mad Max but the replacement ref Daisuke Kiso was then knocked out by Chris Brookes. With no refs around at all, more weapons were brought into the match like staplers and plastic boxes. Matsui got his senses back but the title belts were still kept around to be used as weapons. Masada used one of the belts to shield himself from Shunma Katsumata’s Totonou Splash. He then hit MAO with the belt but MAO countered his finisher into the Michinoku Driver II onto the same belt. MAO then put Masada in the Just Face Lock and morphed it into the Dick Killer variation to make him tap out.

MAO told everyone after the match that he still has a lot of ideas that he’s been saving up for this new title run and he wants to do them all even if it means he’ll get scolded a lot. He gave credit to Masada and admitted he underestimated him. He has become a great SCHADENFREUDE-like wrestler and deserves to be considered one of ShunMao’s rivals along with CDK. He also suggested the next time these four wrestlers face each other it should be a match with all of the ring ropes taken down! Hisaya Imabayashi then informed ShunMao they will have a title defence on 3rd October and asked if they have any suggestions for challengers. They remembered Makoto Oishi’s final day of his DDT contract is on that date so they want to defend the titles against him. Oishi walked out with Danshoku Dieno and said he wants ShunMao to be his final opponents as a DDT wrestler. He also wants to win the tag titles with Dieno because they never held those belts together before. MAO called Oishi his master and said it is an apprentice’s job to make things easier for their master. Without Oishi, ShunMao would have never become champions so they agreed to face Oishi & Dieno on 3rd October. Backstage MAO warned that it is also an apprentice’s job to deliver the final blow on their master.

Oishi’s last DDT singles match with Yuki Ueno took place before the main event. Dieno was in his corner cheering him on particularly when Ueno tried to beat Oishi with ground work. Oishi got a hold of Ueno by the legs and put him in the Fujiyama Knee Lock but Ueno countered it into a Sleeper Hold. Ueno used the hold for another counter and switched it into the WR to get the three count. Oishi praised Ueno backstage and called him the face of DDT. The match reminded Oishi he’s been in an amazing place like DDT for the last 13 years. Dieno then told Oishi there is something they haven’t done together yet, which led to the challenge at the end of the show.

Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami announced the time has come for him to change his focus to a certain company with the letter “G” in its name so FIRE DAMNATION are ceasing activities as of today. But Kawakami promises it will come back whenever he returns to DDT.

At the recent No Spoiler Beer Garden show Kazuki Hirata reverted by to his rookie form. He forgot to revert back because he appeared for his match in his old gear using his old entrance music. Akito was confused but went along with it for five minutes. He then got on the microphone and said it was a nice reminder of their earlier days of wrestling each other but he would like to fight the current day Hirata now. Hirata felt unsure a pair of Hirata GO! glasses were brought into the ring. Hirata and Akito put them on, danced while wrestling and then Hirata shockingly pinned Akito with the Miracle One Shot Cradle to win the match and take the Right To Challenge Shield! Hirata wasn’t happy though and he held the Shield with digust. He is still thinking like a rookie and is more concerned about doing his behind the scenes chores rather than worry about winning a championship.

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 TOUR IN SAPPORO – DAY 1” Results

September 15, 2024

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 TOUR IN SAPPORO – DAY 1”, 15/09/2024
Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza
319 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Special Single Match: Takeshi Masada defeated Makoto Oishi with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (11:29).
2. Kazuki Hirata defeated Kazuma Sumi with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (8:04).
3. Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino defeated Noriyuki Yoshida & Yuki Ishida when Iino pinned Ishida with the Spear (10:44).
4. Yukio Naya defeated Yuya Koroku with the Choke Slam (10:07).
5. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Chris Brookes, Akito & Ilusion defeated Jun Akiyama, Tomoya & Danshoku Dieno (c) when Brookes pinned Dieno with the Praying Mantis Bomb (14:58).
*Chris Brookes becomes the 1,670th champion.
6. Special Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & HARASHIMA defeated MAO & Keigo Nakamura when Aoki pinned Nakamura (11:53).
7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul (c) defeated Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y when Sasaki submitted Katsumata with the Crossface Lock (21:20).
*V1 for DAMNATION T.A.

At last DAMNATION T.A have secured a successful first KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles defence. It took them four title reigns to finally get it done. Maybe it is because they took on a team from The 37KAMIINA that aren’t performing at their absolute best at the moment. To-y went into the title match already hurting because he again tried to cash in his Right To Challenge Shield on Yuki Iino and took a Spear from the DDT Universal Champion. Or perhaps we should just give credit where it’s due and accept DAMNATION T.A succeeded through hard work… and good old fashioned cheating. During the match Daisuke Sasaki knocked Shunma Katsumata off the top rope onto some chairs set up at ringside. Katsumata later tried to attack Sasaki with a chair but the referee grabbed it off him. That allowed Sasaki to get him in the Crossface Lock and win by submission. KANON said they have now escaped the curse of zero defence title reigns. Sasaki wants to go celebrate by drinking around Susukino all night long.

It turns out MAO has high expectations for Keigo Nakamura and wanted to see how he would fare against a team like Shinya Aoki & HARASHIMA. They even came close to winning a few times. Nakamura was able to trap Aoki in an Ankle Lock and it was only broken up because HARASHIMA Body Slammed MAO on top of him. Aoki was then able to out-wrestle Nakamura on the canvas and pin his arms to the mat for the three count to win the match. MAO said nobody realizes just how much of an amazing wrestler Nakamura is. He thinks one of these days he might send him off on excursion somewhere.

Chris Brookes pinned Danshoku Dieno in their 6-Man Tag Match to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from him. He now holds three different championships (Iron Man, KO-D Tag Team Titles and KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles) so he should be recognized as a Triple Crown champ! However he has a singles match with Dieno scheduled for tomorrow and he suggested it should be a Birmingham Style Match. Dieno accepted the challenge because he will do anything to win back the Iron Man Title. Oh, and Brookes is happy that Ilusion was on the winning team today. Ilusion’s reward is he gets to carry the three championship belts for Brookes.

Takeshi Masada said he would never had joined DDT if it wasn’t for Makoto Oishi. Even after Masada made his debut Oishi has been there to give him advice and do other kind things for him. It was even Oishi’s recommendation that Masada changed his gear from long pants to short tights. Masada definitely wants to have another singles match with Oishi in DDT some day so he can win perfectly next time.

DDT “TETSUYA ENDO LOCAL TRIUMPH! DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 TOUR IN SHIROISHI” Results

September 14, 2024

DDT “TETSUYA ENDO LOCAL TRIUMPH! DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 TOUR IN SHIROISHI”, 14/09/2024
Miyagi Shiroishi White Cube
358 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Yukio Naya, Akito & To-y defeated Chris Brookes, Takeshi Masada & Ilusion when Naya pinned Ilusion with the Choke Slam (11:45).
2. Yuki Iino defeated Yuki Ishida with the Spear (7:54).
3. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul defeated Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & Kazuma Sumi when Paul pinned Sumi with the Reverse Splash (10:39).
4. Jun Akiyama defeated Yuya Koroku with the Exploder Suplex (13:56).
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata defeated MAO, Gorgeous Matsuno & Keigo Nakamura when Hirata pinned Matsuno with a Lariat (0:26).
5a. Rematch: MAO, Gorgeous Matsuno & Keigo Nakamura defeated HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when MAO pinned Hirata with the Iai Kick (11:43).
6. Shiroishi Specialty Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo defeated Makoto Oishi with the Burning Star Press (24:14).

Today was supposed to be Tetsuya Endo being the centre of attention because DDT was in his home area. But the main event was just as much about Makoto Oishi as he moves ever closer towards his farewell from DDT. Endo was able to beat him but he told everyone afterwards just how much Oishi means to him. Oishi has looked out for Endo ever since Endo was a trainee and it is no exaggeration to say a part of Endo was created by Oishi. He definitely wants DDT to hold a show like this again next year so Oishi can wrestle on it. Oishi likes the idea because he has only ever beaten Endo in a singles match once and wants to have more wins than losses against him.

One of Yuya Koroku’s ultimate goals as a wrestler is to surpass Jun Akiyama. The veteran played such an important part in Koroku’s training and Koroku thinks the best way to repay him is to beat him. He couldn’t beat him today but Akiyama encouraged him to keep trying. He suggests what Koroku needs to do is think really hard about how he can beat him and erase his presence.

A chair was used by DAMNATION T.A several times on their way to victory today. However Shunma Katsumata is also fired up thanks to the chairshots they used against him. Even though DAMNATION T.A have held the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles four times, they have never scored a successful defence as champions. They are still confident about tomorrow’s title defence against The 37KAMIINA especially since all of their opponents look to be too preoccupied with other things to be motivated for this match.

Look at To-y for example. He threatened to cash in his Right To Challenge Shield on Yuki Iino to get an immediate DDT Universal Title shot after Match #2. However Iino cut To-y off with the Spear during the middle of his speech. Iino was furious backstage at To-y trying to cash in on him. As the Universal Champion he will break To-y if he ever does that again! To-y however thinks the Spear helped snap himself back to his senses so he will be ready for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles match tomorrow.

*To-y becomes the 1,668th champion. To-y wins Danshoku Dieno’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Shield.
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Danshoku Dieno defeated To-y (c) with a School Boy (7:23 pm).
*Danshoku Dieno becomes the 1,669th champion.
-. Bonus Track: Danshoku Dieno Vs Makoto Oishi ended in a Time Limit Draw (4:07).

For the second time this year DDT held a show where they encouraged fans in attendance not to spoil anything that happened on it until the following day. DDT themselves only posted about the pre-show contract signing along with censored hints about the crazy things that happened during the matches. Since this was also a Beer Garden show that meant fans were also getting more creative matches than usual.

For example in the main event a sauna tent was pitched next to the ring and any wrestler caught breaking the rules or ignoring sauna etiquette were sent into the tent as punishment. Danshoku Dieno took part in the match as a “sauna master” of an imposter group called Shin The 37KAMIINA. Their goal was to beat and replace the original unit. One by one a different wrestler was sent to the tent for breaking etiquette. To-y broke the rule of attacking an opponent on the ropes, Dieno was punished for being lewd, Takayuki Ueki was sent to the tent for threatening his opponents with a gun and Yuki Ueno got in trouble for telling Yukinori Matsui to shut up. Eventually everyone was sent to the tent and remained there until To-y ran out accusing Dieno of harrassing him in there. The match continued in the ring where Shunma Katsumata and Keizo Matsuda tried to attack each other using heatwaves until they both fainted. To-y ended up scoring an upset pin on Dieno by giving him a Frankensteiner. As a result he won both the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title as well as Dieno’s Right To Challenge Shield!

Dieno immediately won back the title when he rolled up To-y during his victory speech but the Shield remains with To-y. Makoto Oishi then approached Dieno and asked him for an impromptu singles match right now! Time was short so Hisaya Imabayashi could only let it go ahead if the match had a time limit of 4 minutes and 7 seconds. Everyone agreed and began the match. Dieno and Oishi quickly fought amongst the crowd while the rest of the roster danced and partied around them before joining in the fight. Back in the ring Oishi gave Dieno the Lip Lock but time ran out before he could pin him. Oishi then asked to have another match with Dieno. Imabayashi decided it will happen at Korakuen Hall on 29th September.

Yoshihiko defeated Takeshi Masada in a wild match that at one point had both of them fighting each other on top of a nearby van. The match ended with Yoshihiko trying to drown Masada by pressing his head down into a bucket of water. Matsui called off the match in Yoshihiko’s favour when Masada stopped responding.

Each of the wrestlers in the 4 Way Match took on different gimmicks from their usual selves. MAO came out as an Orange Cassidy tribute called Mikan Cassidy, Chris Brookes turned into a police sergeant, HARASHIMA transformed into OBAKSHIMA the horror monster and Keigo Nakamura became a K5000 robot impervious to almost every attack. Sgt. Brookes shooting him with a gun had no effect. What did cause him harm was MAO squirting K5000 with a water gun. Sgt. Brookes sprayed both OBAKSHIMA and K5000 with a fire extinguisher and then snapped a long rubber strap into them. Mikan then lazily laid on top of K5000 for the pinfall.

A retro themed match was held under DRAGONGATE rules because Toru Owashi was acting like the troublesome heel he was back in 2004. Kazuki Hirata also showed up dressed in his debut gear and acting like a rookie all over again. Antonio Honda filled completed the bizarre trio by appearing as his Hulk Hogan tribute gimmick called Pero Pero Oyakata. Their match against a confused DAMNATION T.A turned into a brawl around the venue. KANON didn’t understand why Hirata wasn’t dancing and tried to tempt him with the Hirata GO! glasses. Things went out of hand when Honda stripped down to his underwear and tried to give everyone the Pedigree. When he tried to do it on Matsui, the referee called off the match.

A planned 6-Man Tag Match was turned into a 5 Vs 1 Handicap Match when Poison Sawada JULIE brainwashed Tetsuya Endo’s partners with Snake Magic! JULIE also did it to his own partners so Endo had to fight a snake army all by himself. Endo got his hands on the antidote during the match and soon cured Yuki Iino, Yuya Koroku and Kazuma Sumi. They all spat Poison Mist at JULIE, rendering him helpless so Endo could pin him with the Burning Star Press. Yuni was still brainwashed after the match but Endo got him to take the antidote and return to normal.

The masked dancing master Furitsuke Kamen choreographed a special entrance for Makoto Oishi but Akito interrupted it halfway through. He, Masahiro Takanashi & Ilusion would only let them do it if Oishi’s team could beat them. With some help from Yukio Naya, Yuki Ishida and Kamen himself Oishi was able to beat Ilusion by submission and everyone did the dance together.

The contract signing before the show was for the upcoming KO-D Tag Team Titles match. ShunMao held the titles last year but had to vacate them when Katsumata got injured. When he recovered, MAO wanted to hold off on challenging for the titles again so it could be used as a trump card. He decided to use that trump card after Ueno lost the KO-D Openweight Title so The 37KAMIINA could quickly recover their momentum. MAO considers CDK to be their true rivals, not SCHADENFREUDE International. Brookes understands his opinion and even agrees with it. He admits he & Masada struggled to beat Ueno & To-y over the weekend. But he wants his team to wrestle using their own style unique to DDT no matter if they win or lose. Masada said he wants to defend the titles even if it means he has to crawl onto the next step. ShunMao thinks he still hasn’t evolved enough yet though.

At the end of the show Oishi told everyone he wants a new version of NωA to continue without him. He asked Shunma Katsumata, Yuni & Sumi to form Shin NωA. Yuni & Sumi were both excited by the idea but Katsumata was hesitant to do it. He eventually agreed when Yuni & Sumi told him they both would like to become idols. The three of them sang one of the songs together to close out the show.

Tsukina Umino is from Ice Ribbon. She recently fought and lost to YuuRI in a match for the ICExInfinity Title.

Kira Summer’s sister Miki Fortune is coming over to Tokyo Joshi Pro for a match! She has been wrestling since 2009 and is active in the Australian scene. Earlier this year she travelled to Japan and spent a little bit of time wrestling in Ice Ribbon. Now her next visit to the country is to check out first hand what her sister’s been up to in TJPW.

Antonio Honda is unable to be at tomorrow’s show. Luckily a replacement has already been found. A.YAZAWA takes his place which is convenient because the Rock ‘N’ Roll 4 Way Death Match just so happens to be YAZAWA’s signature match.

The Right To Challenge Shield holders going into the show are Masahiro Takanashi (Blue), KANON (Black), Keigo Nakamura (Light Blue) and Shunma Katsumata (White).

7. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Arisu Endo

Yoshiko Hasegawa starts out her residency with Tokyo Joshi Pro by teaming with the woman she lost against last weekend. Will things turn out better for her by teaming with Shoko Nakajima instead of fighting her?

Most of the women who went to England are back in Japan. Miyu Yamashita is heading over to America this weekend first for a few more international matches. When she returns she will team with the two teenagers Runa Okubo & Haru Kazashiro.

The other three coming back from England are being thrown together into a 3 Way Match against each other. Raku, Mahiro Kiryu and HIMAWARI will show the fans what they learned from their visit to London.

DDT “NO SPOILERS X BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING IN UENO”, 10/09/2024

6. Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ The 37KAMIINA Vs Shin The 37KAMIINA: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs Sauna Oyakata, Keizo Matsuda & Takayuki Ueki

The No Spoiler show is filling up with more wacky ideas with the expectation that nobody going to see the show will spoil it online. A group of wrestlers are claiming to be the new version of The 37KAMIINA and are challenging the originals to a match to prove they are superior. Keizo Matsuda & Takayuki Ueki are familiar enough but Sauna Master is going to be Danshoku Dieno doing some sort of, well, sauna master gimmick.

Pero Pero Master is, or at least in previous apperances was Antonio Honda doing a Hulk Hogan gimmick. Toru Owashi is also going to time travel back to being 20 years younger somehow.

Also on the card are appearances by Poison Sawada JULIE and Furitsuke Kamen.

BASARA “TSUKAMOTO & NAKATSU ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL!”, 11/09/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Fuminori Abe Vs Judomaster

4. UWA World Tag Team Titles: Kota Sekifuda & Kaji Tomato (c) Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino
5. Hardcore Match: Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Yusaku Ito
6. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Naoki Tanizaki

Earlier this month Aijin Tag challenged Kota Sekifuda & Kaji Tomato for the UWA World Tag Team Titles but had to wait in line because the champions already had a title defence lined up. That was done and dusted at a Big Japan show this week so Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino are now next in line to get a title shot.

Gorgeous Matsuno returns so he can form a trio of Tohoku wrestlers with MAO & Keigo Nakamura.

Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza

1. Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino Vs Noriyuki Yoshida & Yuki Ishida

3. Special Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & HARASHIMA Vs MAO & Keigo Nakamura
4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul (c) Vs Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y

Both Tomoya and Noriyuki Yoshida will be on next month’s Sapporo weekend shows. The odd thing is Yoshida’s match is already announced for Day 1 but not Tomoya’s…

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 TOUR IN SAPPORO – DAY 2”, 16/09/2024
Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza

1. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul Vs Tomoya, Akito & Kazuki Hirata
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: MAO, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs HARASHIMA, Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi
3. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Yuya Koroku
4. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Danshoku Dieno

… while Tomoya’s match for Day 2 is already booked but not Yoshida’s.

2. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno
3. Special Single Match: Shunma Katsumata Vs Makoto Oishi

Oishi’s set of goodbye matches continues with a bout against Shunma Katsumata. The two have had a teacher and student kind of relationship over the years.

Aoki Is Now The Champ, The 37KAMIINA Have Chips On Their Shoulder, Wrestle Princess V Heats up

August 27, 2024

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2024 IN SHINJUKU – DAY 2”, 30/08/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. Toru Owashi & Yuki Ishida Vs Yuni & Keigo Nakamura
2. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul Vs Toru Owashi, Keigo Nakamura & Yuya Koroku
3. Rock ‘N’ Roll 4 Way Death Match: Akito Vs Antonio Honda Vs To-y Vs Kazuma Sumi
4. The Long Awaited New Series By Hisaya Imabayashi! Kaidan Shin Numabukuro Deathmatch 2: Shunma Katsumata Vs Jun Akiyama Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Makoto Oishi
5. Special Single Match: Chris Brookes Vs Ilusion
6. Beer Garden Specialty Customer Lottery 8-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO, HARASHIMA, Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino, Kazuki Hirata, Yukio Naya, Takeshi Masada

Over the weekend Ilusion made more attempts at asking Chris Brookes if he could join SCHADENFREUDE International only to be turned down again. Brookes instead offered Ilusion a singles match between them. See it as Ilusion’s last chance to convince Brookes that he deserves to be part of the unit.

DDT “MEET & GREET & FIGHT SEPTEMBER”, 04/09/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. To-y & Kazuma Sumi Vs Keigo Nakamura & Yuya Koroku
2. 3 Way Match: Takeshi Masada Vs Yuni Vs Ilusion
3. Special Single Match: Yuki Iino Vs Kazuki Hirata
4. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Makoto Oishi

The new KO-D Openweight Champion is Shinya Aoki so he is going to appear in DDT a little more often in the near future. He has been added to Makoto Oishi’s final run of matches in the company.

DDT “TAKESHI MASADA LOCAL TRIUMPH! DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 TOUR IN OSAKA”, 07/09/2024
Osaka Sun Square Sports Center Sakai

1. Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Kazuma Sumi Vs Toru Owashi, Keigo Nakamura & Ilusion
2. HARASHIMA & Akito Vs Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida
3. DAMNATION T.A Vs BURNING!: Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku
4. Special Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Fuminori Abe & Antonio Honda
5. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama Vs Makoto Oishi
6. Special Single Match: KANON Vs Yuki Iino
7. Osaka Specialty Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada Vs Yuki Ueno & To-y

Another show in Osaka means Takeshi Masada gets to headline it again as the hometown boy. But Yuki Ueno and Yuni are Osaka hometown boys too!

A singles match between KANON and Yuki Iino has the added element of KANON’s Right To Challenge Shield being up for grabs if it hasn’t been used yet. You can afford to take tag losses here and there when you don’t take the fall but when it’s time for singles matches, holders like KANON will need to be more careful.

One of Oishi’s final singles matches in DDT will be against Jun Akiyama! The two of them have gotten along as part of D.O.A and the unit isn’t planning on going away anytime soon.

A preview for the next DDT Universal Title defence is happening the day before the match takes place. MAO and Fuminori Abe will get to test each other out in a tag bout around 24 hours before they fight over the title.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALWAYS BE A CHALLENGER ’24”, 08/09/2024
Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall

1. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Arisu Endo

In more hometown talk Arisu Endo made it her goal to become a double champion before Tokyo Joshi Pro returns to Aizuwakamatsu. She decided to challenge Yuki Arai for the International Princess Title as part of her plan. Endo was part of Arai’s debut match three years ago and the two have become good friends ever since. Even though Arai is from Kyoto, she considers Nagoya as her second home because of SKE48’s connections to the area so she will need to utilise her own home field advantage in order to stop Endo from powering up Aizuwakamatsu!

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

1. Takeshi Masada & Yuki Ishida Vs Keigo Nakamura & Ilusion
2. Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda Vs Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata
3. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul Vs Yuki Iino, Yuya Koroku & Kazuma Sumi
4. Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y Vs Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Akito
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kota Ibushi, Shuji Ishikawa & Danshoku Dieno Vs HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Michael Nakazawa
6. Special Single Match: Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami Vs Yukio Naya
7. DDT Universal Title: MAO (c) Vs Fuminori Abe
8. KO-D Openweight Title: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo

There is now a sudden shift in direction for the KO-D Title scene coming out of the weekend. Aoki is now the champion and has visions of revitalizing the championship’s value by targeting Katsuhiko Nakajima! In the leadup to Aoki’s title win he said he would like to unify the KO-D Title with the UWF World Title that is currently being used in GLEAT. Nakajima just so happens to be the champion and him knocking out Tetsuya Endo in 2022 is a subject that Aoki brought on Sunday. He does not understand why nobody from DDT ever wanted to get revenge on Nakajima for the damage he did to the company’s reputation. Endo has his reasons for being the first person to challenge Aoki. Nakajima was not meant to be top of that list but since Aoki brought it up, Endo believes it should be him who gets that revenge as champion and not Aoki.

A lot of potential challengers for the KO-D Title are waiting nearby and it’s not just the people who hold the Right To Challenge Shields. The feud between Yukio Naya and Ryuichi Kawakami could launch the winner into a future title shot. Kawakami thinks it will be easy to get one after he destroys Naya once and for all. The sneak attacks and cheating were already getting Naya mad but the thought of Kawakami taking the KO-D Title so lightly has only fired him up even more.

DDT “NO SPOILERS X BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING IN UENO”, 10/09/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Takeshi Masada Vs Yoshihiko
2. Special 4 Way Match: Someone Who Looks Like MAO Vs Someone Who Looks Like Chris Brookes Vs Someone Who Looks Like HARASHIMA Vs Someone Who Looks Like Keigo Nakamura

DDT are holding another event where attendees are encouraged not to post anything about what happened at the show on social media until after midnight. It is doubling up as a Beer Garden show too so you know a bunch of crazy things will happen. The 4 Way Match for example sounds like it will feature wrestlers pretending to be MAO, Brookes, HARASHIMA and Keigo Nakamura fighting each other. Masada has to fight Yoshihiko by himself too.

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 TOUR IN SAPPORO – DAY 1”, 15/09/2024
Hokkaido Sapporo Sun Plaza

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul (c) Vs Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y

The 37KAMIINA were quick to tell fans that they are not going to let Ueno losing the KO-D Title stop their momentum. The unit threw out challenges for two championship matches next month. Shunma Katsumata is part of both as he might become a triple champion when all is said and done. First Ueno, Katsumata & To-y challenge DAMNATION T.A for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles.

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 TOUR IN SHINJUKU”, 20/09/2024
Shinjuku FACE

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada (c) Vs MAO & Shunma Katsumata

Later in the week ShunMao face Brookes & Masada for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Both MAO & Katsumata believe the tag titles have not seen the best of days ever since they had to vacate them last year. They think they were in the middle of having the best title reign ever until it had to be cut short when Katsumata broke his ankle. ShunMao now want to be the champions again so they can start a new era for the belts. They also seem to have an axe to grind over Kota Ibushi being welcomed back into DDT by the older sections of the fanbase while they’ve been working so hard to attract an audience.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “WRESTLE PRINCESS V”, 22/09/2024
Chiba Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall

1. Xia Zhao & Mizuki Vs Yuki Kamifuku & VENY
2. Aja Kong, Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku Vs X, X & X
3. Emi Sakura Vs Shoko Nakajima
4. Princess Tag Team Titles: Suzume & Arisu Endo (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh
5. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Ryo Mizunami

Princess Aniki is now aiming for TJPW’s top championship! After winning the Tokyo Princess Cup on Sunday, Ryo Mizunami didn’t waste any time in challenging Miu Watanabe for the Princess Of Princess Title. Mizunami became the first outsider to win a TJPW tournament, now she can become the first to win the Princess Title too!

A big match for Shoko Nakajima on the show pits her against Emi Sakura. It will be the first time the two will face each other in the ring but Nakajima has learned a lot from Sakura going all the way back to the early years of her wrestling career.

The happy go lucky tag team of Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku now adds a new friend to make them even happier. Which three poor souls are getting chosen to fight those two and Aja Kong? They might be in luck because SKE48’s Shiori Aoki returns to officiate another match. She might care more about doing carthweels than protecting the team from the monsters though.

Former WWE wrestler Xia Zhao is coming to TJPW so she can wrestle in Japan for the first time ever. Previously known as Xia Li, Zhao has only just begun taking wrestling bookings again after getting released from WWE back in April. Her match with Mizuki here will also reunite Yuki Kamifuku & VENY as a team. VENYU hadn’t teamed together since last summer.

DDT “DRAMATIC INFINITY 2024 ~ 3 HOUR SPECIAL~”, 29/09/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Kaisei Takeshi Vs Chris Brookes, Takeshi Masada & Masahiro Takanashi

The return of Kaisei Takeshi to DDT is such a big deal the show is going to air live on ABEMA for free.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Shinya Aoki defeated Yuki Ueno (c) with the Modified Manjigatame (19:49).
*Yuki Ueno fails in V8. Shinya Aoki becomes the 83rd KO-D Openweight Champion!

A packed house at Korakuen Hall got to see a newsworthy DDT show where the top championship of the company changed hands. Yuki Ueno’s nine month reign as KO-D Openweight Champion has come to an end by Shinya Aoki’s hands. The two have been linked together for a while now with Ueno looking up to the MMA fighter but perhaps that is ultimately what cost him to lose the title. Aoki surprised Ueno by using a Topé Suicida out of the ring. The Dropkicks to the face from Ueno couldn’t keep Aoki down and neither could the BME. When Ueno set up his WR finisher Aoki countered it into a Cobra Twist and transitioned the move into a Modified Manjigatame. The hold took Ueno down to the ground and he had no choice but to give up.

After the match Aoki praised Ueno for being strong and even told everyone how much he likes him. But losers have to leave the ring. Ueno bowed to everyone and left while Aoki applauded him. The new champion promised to protect what he has taken from Ueno. He also declared he wants to get revenge on Katsuhiko Nakajima for harming the championship’s reputation while defending the title against any of the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere holders. He expected one of them to come out and challenge him but he got someone completely different instead. Tetsuya Endo!

Aoki wasn’t impressed and called Endo the weakest person who could challenge him. He talked about how much Endo has struggled ever since Nakajima knocked him out. Others like Ueno and MAO struggled too but Endo may as well be sleeping compared to them. Endo understands why Aoki would reject his challenge but that is why it must be Endo who should hold the belt and be the one to find revenge! Aoki argued that the reason he brought up Nakajima in the first place was because nobody in DDT did. Endo then asked Aoki if he ever lost a match that changed his life? Was there someone there to help him at the time? Aoki can be like that for Endo if he accepts the challenge. Aoki understood and a title match between them will take place in Nagoya on 8th September.

Finally Kota Ibushi came home to DDT. A lot has changed since he left but really, a lot has stayed the same too. He started the match off against Endo and their back and forth ended with a respectful handshake. Then the match turned over to more of DDT’s silly side as Danshoku Dieno kept kissing Yuki Iino over and over. Then when Akito put Yuya Koroku in a Figure 4 Leg Lock, Dieno performed the Danshoku Nightmare over Koroku. Ibushi also carried Koroku face first into Dieno’s Hell Gate at the corner. Endo got revenge by pushing Dieno and Ibushi into each other for the Lip Lock. He then hit Akito with a Handspring Kick followed by the Swivel Torture Rack Bomb. Akito kicked out of that but was put away with the Burning Star Press.

Endo welcomed Ibushi back to DDT after the match and had a question for him. Does Ibushi still love pro wrestling? Ibushi says he still loves it. Endo was happy to hear it and said he’ll be here in DDT waiting for Ibushi anytime. Dieno wanted to hear Ibushi give his honest opinion about how he feels right now. He then handed him a cue card to read (a bunch of people in DDT used to do this for Ibushi during his first main event push). Ibushi admitted there was a time when he didn’t know if he really loved wrestling. But coming back to a DDT ring today was something he enjoyed. He had a good time but his true love is only at 60 points out of 100 right now. He will keep wrestling in AEW and DDT to find the wrestling that he enjoys so his love will reach back up to 100. He then asked Makoto Oishi why he is quitting DDT soon? When Oishi told him it was to be with his family, Ibushi then asked why was his voice sounding so hoarse? Oishi reminded him it’s been like that for a long time. Backstage Ibushi told reporters he has the money and the fame. The only thing that’s missing for him is the fun. Akito told him he would like to see him appear in DDT regularly but Ibushi has only committed to one other date so far on 8th September.

Yukio Naya felt humiliated after today’s show thanks to Ryuichi “Fire” Kawakami. The latest part of their feud saw Kawakami pin Naya thanks to some foul play. HARASHIMA & Kazuma Sumi played their part as best as they could against DAMNATION T.A so Naya could beat Kawakami by himself with a Choke Slam. But MJ Paul pulled the referee away during the pin count. Naya then fought off Daisuke Sasaki & KANON until Kawakami hit him in the back with a Chair and pinned him with a Lariat. Kawakami said he will beat Naya again in their singles match on 8th September and then go on to challenge for the KO-D Title. Naya tried to fight him again but Sasaki hit him with the chair and Kawakami put him down with the Thunder Fire Bomb. Backstage Naya promised to get revenge and make Kawakami regret ever talking about the KO-D Title so casually.

The 15th Anniversary of Soma Takao’s debut match put him against someone who has been linked to him for most of his career. Keisuke Ishii was one of Takao’s tag partners in his debut and they want on to wrestle together as part of Team Drift. Ishii didn’t take it easy on his friend though. They fought up to the aisleway where Ishii gave Takao the Double Arm Driver onto the floor. Takao just about made it back to the ring to avoid being counted out. He fought back using a Double Stomp and the Perfect Driver for nearfalls. But Ishii caught him with a Frankensteiner and won the match with the Kneel Kick.

Two Right To Challenge Shield holders were on opposite teams for Match #3 so there was a little more risk of a Shield changing hands. Jun Akiyama kept grabbing To-y’s hair and did it even more after Shunma Katsumata complained about it. Keigo Nakamura went after Katsumata but things ended evenly between the two Shield holders. Tomomitsu Matsunaga got a nearfall on Katsumata with a Lariat. Katsumata turned things around with a Neckbreaker and Thrust Kick. He then scored the pin on Matsunaga with a German Suplex.

Today was another attempt by Ilusion to convince Chris Brookes he belongs in SCHADENFREUDE International. He even put Brookes in the Octopus Stretch during their match. Masahiro Takanashi wanted to thank Makoto Oishi for everything he’s done but it was just a trick to attack him. Oishi then tried singing a birthday song for Brookes but got attacked for that too. Takeshi Masada blocked Yuni’s Moonsault and Brookes tried to finish the match with the Praying Mantis Bomb but Yuni avoided it. The match came down to Ilusion and Takanashi trying to pin each other with different cradle moves. Takanashi got the better of Ilusion and got the three count with the Uwabami. Brookes wasn’t convinced by Ilusion’s performance.

The 3 Way Match to open the show featured voice actor and wrestling fan Tetsu Inada as a special guest commentator. However Antonio Honda pinned Kazuki Hirata seconds into the match before Toru Owashi could even do anything. Hisaya Imabayashi got mad like he always does and admitted he is getting tired of this. Inada took the microphone from him and demanded a restart because he wanted to see an exciting match. The match begun again but the wrestlers were showing low energy, causing Inada to get mad again. Hirata tried to do his dance but Inada asked him to do something new. Inada then joined in with Honda’s Gongitsune joke and together they attempted the Super Pheonix Fire Thunder Ultra Gongitsune attack! However they both missed. Owashi rolled up Honda with a School Boy and Hirata did the same to Inada. Both of them got a three count pin but since Inada was never a match participant, Owashi was the winner.

At the very end of the show MAO & Katsumata told the fans that Ueno losing the title is not going to stop The 37KAMIINA’s momentum. ShunMao intends to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles and KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles again. Backstage they said the championship has been turning rotten ever since they had to vacate it due to Katsumata’s injury. No reign since then has been as good as theirs so they want to start a new era for the championship. MAO also described Ibushi’s return today as Golden Star Syndrome. The middle aged fans who came to the show are only chasing shadows because the glory days from Ibushi’s time are gone. DDT has been drowning in muddy waters ever since and it is thanks to the likes of ShunMao that things have started to pick up for the company. MAO is telling the fans not to lose their minds from Golden Star Syndrome and they should not be taking the current generation for granted.

The 37KAMIINA are also going to be part of Kaisei Takeshi’s return match on 29th September. Takeshi, Ueno & MAO will take on Brookes, Takanashi & Masada from SCHADENFREUDE International on 29th September!

As part of Takeshi Masada’s sponsorship with Bodix bodywear, several models known as the BB Girls were in attendance. Imabayashi got to take a group photo in the ring with them at the start of the show.

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

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

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

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

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

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