7. HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura, Jun Akiyama & Yukio Naya defeated Yuji Hino, Bodyguard, Tetsuya Endo & Yusuke Okada when Naya pinned Okada with the Back Drop (15:36).
8. Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ DDT Vs BJW: Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno & MAO defeated Yuji Okabayashi, Yuya Aoki & Kosuke Sato when Ueno pinned Sato with the BME (19:01).

One week before their KO-D Openweight Title match, Konosuke Takeshita and Yuji Okabayashi faced off in their final preview of the big championship fight. Today in Nagoya the match between them spread out to be DDT versus Big Japan. Takeshita had backup from Yuki Ueno & MAO to defend home plate while Okabayashi brought along Yuya Aoki & Kosuke Sato to fly the BJW flag. The times Takeshita and Okabayashi were in the ring together would end in stalemates and double downs. It was up to the other four to break the deadlock. It was the teamwork of The 37KAMIINA that became the deciding factor. The three of them were able to get ring of Okabayashi, MAO wiped out Aoki with a Moonsault and Ueno won the match with the BME to Sato. Takeshita said he hopes his wrestling with Okabayashi is exciting enough to make fans forget about their problems. Both have gotten more powerful since their D-Ou Grand Prix match so he promises the title bout on 26th December will be a great fight.

The KO-D Tag Team Titles match on the 26th also got one final preview here. HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura got to face off against Yuji Hino & Bodyguard one final time. New BURNING members Tetsuya Endo and Jun Akiyama found themselves on opposite sides too. But the result came down to Yukio Naya pinning Yusuke Okada with the Back Drop. Although the tag champs were on the winning team today, HARASHIMA was left dissatisfied. He thinks DISASTER BOX didn’t do enough against their upcoming challengers so today feels like a loss to him. Hino would later give the same opinion, thinking he and Bodyguard feel like the real champions coming out of today’s show. Yoshimura said he has a lot of respect for Hino and he is still his favorite wrestler, but he is also a little less scared of him than before. The champs have no choice but to fight back in Yoyogi on the 26th.

The match the show was named after was the Current Blast Death Match with the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles on the line. Pheromones used the stipulation to act their most indecent, making lewd poses with the barbed wire weapons before attacking The Kuronita Army with them. They stripped off Kuro-chan’s costume and threw Sanshiro Takagi into him as part of more shameless antics. Not even Atsushi Onita’s comebacks could change the tide when he hit an exploding guitar over Yumehito Imanari’s head. Once Yuki Iino grabbed the Current Blast bat and charged up the power using Danshoku Dieno’s backside, the finish was inevitable. Takagi was hit with the exploding bat and Iino pinned him for the successful defence. Dieno bragged about Pheromones growing stronger when everyone thought the unit wouldn’t make it to the end of the year. He doesn’t care if they didn’t win any awards this year because the look of disgust they get from everybody is the best prize of all. Onita & Kuro-chan blamed Takagi for losing. Onita thinks he became weak ever since he became CyberFight president, too busy caring more about paperwork than wrestling. The Kuronita Army still want to fight for championships but they won’t get any if Takagi is wrestling for them. Takagi accepted blame and offered to manage Onita & Kuro-chan instead of teaming with them from now on. As president he can still grant them title shots if they want one.

The latest chapter in Kazuki Hirata’s slow integration with his Kobe past brought him to team with Susumu Yokosuka today. Hirata begged for Yokosuka to dance with him despite Toru Owashi’s protests. Yokosuka made up his mind, pushed Owashi away and joined in with the dance! Even Owashi had to admit defeat and took part to complete the dancing trio. The boost in enthusiasm helped them beat Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Akito with Hirata pinning Honda decisively. Yokosuka admitted he never thought he would see the day where he would dance with Hirata. Owashi asked him to give Hirata advice for his match against Shuji Kondo on 26th December. Yokosuka told him to do his best and he thinks Kondo won’t want to dance with him.

Shunma Katsumata and Hyper Misao settled their grudge in a violent Hardcore Match. The match featured barbed wire boards with voodoo dolls attached, a castle of chairs, toy blocks, ladders, staplers and skewers. Misao was accidentally unmasked during a back and forth on the ring apron but she continued fighting with her face fully exposed, putting Katsumata through a wooden board at ringside. Back in the ring she then poured a box of thumbtacks over herself and her opponent. Katsumata fought back with a Superplex from the ladder. Misao toughed it out by taking chair shots for as long as she could but the end finally came when Katsumata hit Sauna Trance Splash from the top of the ladder. Katsumata praised Misao for having a very strong heart filled with love. She can protect Tokyo Joshi Pro while he will be the hero of DDT so they can both stand together in the same ring as heroes! Misao said she saw the world of hardcore wrestling for the first time and it is beautiful. She thanks Katsumata for opening up this world to her.

There is no such forgiveness going on between Daisuke Sasaki and Masahiro Takanashi. Their tag match had a sudden start when Takanashi attacked Sasaki. They fought outside where MJ Paul attacked Hideki Okatani with a chair. Sasaki then used a chair to choke Takanashi with. Back in the ring Sasaki gave Takanashi a Low Blow and put him in the Crossface Lock. He held him in place with the hold while Paul pinned Okatani with the Death Valley Bomb. Then during the backstage interviews after the match, Takanashi ran in and attacked Sasaki sparking a big brawl.

Saki Akai was introduced to a new opponent in the form of Papillon Akemi representing Dera Beppin Pro Wrestling. Akemi was prepared and blocked the Quetzalcoatl with a slow rolling cradle that distracted Akai more than make her dizzy. But Akai was able to hit her finisher on the second try and win. Akai revealed that she wanted a match with Akemi ever since her second year in wrestling. It took about six years to finally make it happen. She would like to wrestle in Dera Beppin and become their champion but does the group have any wrestlers other than Akemi? She doesn’t know.

The opening match saw Soma Takao & Kazusada Higuchi put aside any past differences and get along to beat Toui Kojima & Yuya Koroku. The rookies worked together to give Higuchi a Double Brainbuster but they were eventually overwhelmed by the more experienced opponents.

Nagoya Congress Center Event Hall

2. Special Single Match – DDT Vs Dera Beppin Pro Wrestling: Saki Akai Vs Papillon Akemi
3. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Masahiro Takanashi & Hideki Okatani
4. Hardcore Match: Shunma Katsumata Vs Hyper Misao

6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles – Current Blast Death Match: Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari (c) Vs Atsushi Onita, Sanshiro Takagi & Kuro-chan
7. HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura, Jun Akiyama & Yukio Naya Vs Yuji Hino, Bodyguard, Tetsuya Endo & Yusuke Okada
8. Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ DDT Vs BJW: Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs Yuji Okabayashi, Yuya Aoki & Kosuke Sato

Earlier this week Konosuke Takeshita was given the Fighting Spirit Award from Tokyo Sports as part of the annual Tokyo Sports Pro Wrestling Awards. Takeshita finished on top of the category over Jake Lee, El Desperado, YAMATO and Hiroshi Tanahashi. The voting committee, which includes Kenta Kobashi and Masahiro Chono, praised Takeshita for using his excursion to AEW in America back in April to get over the slump he was in for the early part of 2021. He received the majority of votes for achieving the DDT Grand Slam of winning King Of DDT, the KO-D Openweight Title and the D-Ou Grand Prix all in the same year. It wasn’t mentioned by Tokyo Sports but don’t forget he also won the Ultimate Tag League and KO-D Tag Team Titles too. Takeshita thanked his fans for their support and said his next goal is to win the Best Bout Award with a match held in DDT. He promises his title match with former Fighting Spirit winner Yuji Okabayashi will be worthy of the award.

There are many reasons why Hyper Misao has grown to hate The 37KAMIINA. Whenever she sees young people like them having fun it brings back the trauma she went through as a shut-in student. She also wants revenge on them for humiliating her in the Tokyo Dome a few months back. If that’s not enough, she is convinced The 37KAMIINA are only faking their love of saunas for clout. Therefore every member of The 37KAMIINA is evil! She promises to use 8,183 weapons (I don’t understand how but 8183 is a play on “Hypami”) to beat Shunma Katsumata because Katsumata only has 37 (“sauna”) at his disposal. Katsumata denies the accusation of being evil and promises to get rid of the biggest liar in all of Nagoya. He wants everyone to remember that Misao is not a hero!

BASARA “BASARA 180 ~WHITE WAGTAIL~”, 26/12/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. FUMA Vs Lil Kraken
2. Fuminori Abe & Yasu Urano Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino
3. Isami Kodaka & Daiki Shimomura Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Yusuke Kubo
4. CCW Canadian Heavyweight Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Daichi Kazato
5. IRON FIST Tag Titles: Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga (c) Vs Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT

Japanese wrestling and obscure championships from other companies is a match made in heaven. The latest example is BASARA ending up with the CCW Canadian Heavyweight Title in their little corner of the indies. Takumi Tsukamoto won the title back in July but hasn’t defended it yet. Daichi Kazato noticed that and asked for a title shot. The belt itself originally came from a company called Canadian Connection Wrestling. In 1997 the title was won by Shigeo Okumura and brought to Japan to be defended in New Tokyo Pro Wrestling (there was also a CCW Tag Team Championship used by the promotion). The final champion when New Tokyo closed down in 1998 was Bad News Allen. After that the belt disappeared for two decades until former champion Kazuhiko Matsuzaki decided to revive it in 2018. The title bounced around the indies which is how it ended up around Tsukamoto’s waist. He is recognised as the 13th champion and he promises to live up to Bad News Allen’s name.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI PRO ’22”, 04/01/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Mahiro Kiryu & Moka Miyamoto Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
2. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe Vs Yuki Kamifuku & Nao Kakuta
3. Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
4. Yuka Sakazaki Vs Yuki Arai
5. Nodoka-oneesan One Day Revival Special Match: Nodoka-oneesan, Yuki Aino & Haruna Neko Vs Marika Kobashi, Raku & Pom Harajuku
6. International Princess Title: Hikari Noa (c) Vs Maki Itoh
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Mizuki

Mizuki is feeling the pressure of the big title match. This will be her fourth attempt at becoming the Princess Of Princess Champion. She’s anxious about it but understands she has no choice but to win this time, which means this may be the one for her. Even though Miyu Yamashita has been called a monster inside the ring, she thinks Mizuki is a monster too. She is a monster in rabbit’s skin! Mizuki was shocked to hear that because nobody has ever called her a monster before. A win for Yamashita will be another step towards defending the Princess Title at Sumo Hall next March. She knows she isn’t good against fast moving wrestlers like Mizuki so she is taking proper measures to overcome that weakness.

The purpose of the International Princess Title changes depending on who the champion is. Hikari Noa wants it to be defended in death matches. The latest update in her campaign was a public meeting with Bull Nakano to promote Noa’s first solo CD release “I’m Alive.” Nakano’s advice was you shouldn’t do a death match just because you want to. It’s important to bring about a situation where a death match is required. When there is a scenario where both the fans and the company wants to see Noa in a death match then it will be time to do one. Maki Itoh doesn’t want to see blood anywhere near the IP Title. She thinks the championship exists to be defended overseas. She will be proven right if the belt decides to follow her instead of Noa from now on.

Yuki Arai was another big winner at the Tokyo Sports Awards by winning the Best Newcomer category. The voters praised Arai for her sincere commitment to pro wrestling while also continuing her idol career with SKE48. She is grateful to be recognized by her pears and hopes to deliver more fun pro wrestling in the future. She has two big matches coming up soon. The first one is against Yamashita this Friday then on 4th January she takes on Yuka Sakazaki. They’ve only wrestled each other once before so Arai is really nervous. She still wants to show how much she has grown and enjoy the experience as it happens.

For the third year in a row Shoko Nakajima and Hyper Misao will face each other at the Ittenyon show. Their previous matches on this show involved wacky gimmicks and both ended with the loser changing their name for a month. Misao won it last year and ended up creating a wonderful new friend for a month called Shin Ultra Shoko. Nakajima doesn’t like the rule because when she had to change her name for a month it resulted in memory loss over that period. She doesn’t want to go through that again. She does however like doing the actual matches because it means she gets to turn her toy box upside down. She means that both literally and as a metaphor.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2022 TOUR IN FUKUOKA”, 16/01/2022
Fukuoka Nishitetsu Hall

1. Shishamo Power Debut Match: Shishamo Power & X Vs Akito & Yukio Naya

A sponsorship deal between DDT and the Yamada Suisan fishing company will lead to the debut of a new masked wrestler called Shishamo Power! The president of Yamada Suisan wants to use the power of pro wrestling to get people eating fish so they can become more energetic. The deal starts with Shishamo Power debuting in January and getting another match in February. This will all build up to a show DDT and Yamada Suisan are putting together in March to promote seafood. Shishamo wants to spread shishamo fish across Japan and he will do it using moves such as the Eggs Bomber and the Flying Shishamo. He wants to make an impact in his debut match like Tiger Mask did. The idea is not supported by everyone in DDT though. Yukio Naya, whose father runs a yakitori restaurant, believes the people should eat meat to become strong instead. Akito agrees with him and the two of them offered to be Shishamo’s first opponents. It is now up to Shishamo to find another seafood loving wrestler to team up with him.

DDT “NEVER MIND 2021 TOUR IN SHINJUKU” Results

December 12, 2021

DDT “NEVER MIND 2021 TOUR IN SHINJUKU”, 12/12/2021
Shinjuku FACE
217 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Akito & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Yukio Naya & Yuya Koroku when Akito submitted Koroku with the Figure 4 Leg Lock (9:04).
2. Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yuki “Sexy” Iino defeated Soma Takao & Yuki Ishida when Iino pinned Ishida with the Yoropean Clutch (9:23).
3. Naomi Yoshimura & Toru Owashi defeated Yuji Hino & Hideki Okatani when Yoshimura pinned Okatani with the Throwaway Power Bomb (14:00).
4. Antonio Honda, Kazuki Hirata & Saki Akai defeated Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Toui Kojima when Hirata pinned Kojima with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (11:16).
5. DDT Extreme Title – No Seconds Rule: Shinya Aoki (c) defeated Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari with the Sleeper Hold (8:45).
*V5 for Shinya Aoki.
6. DAMNATION T.A Vs CDK!: Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Masahiro Takanashi & Chris Brookes ended in a No Contest (12:03).
7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Konosuke Takeshita, Jun Akiyama & HARASHIMA defeated Tetsuya Endo, Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ueno when Takeshita pinned Higuchi with the German Suplex (19:32).

Ever since November Konosuke Takeshita has been learning the Jumping Knee from Jun Akiyama. Today is the day it was finally passed down from mentor to student! In the dying moments of the main event, Akiyama grabbed Kazusada Higuchi and told Takeshita it was time. He whipped Higuchi across the ring and Takeshita hit the Jumping Knee for the first time. The move by itself wasn’t enough to end the match so Takeshita had to pin Higuchi with a high angle German Suplex. Takeshita said he was honored to have the move Jumbo Tsuruta passed down to Akiyama now be passed down to him. He promised to use it carefully from here on out and is confident it will lead to victory against Yuji Okabayashi later this month. The result gave Tetsuya Endo something to think about. He is now the leader of BURNING but couldn’t tame the ferocious beast that is Jun Akiyama. It made Endo realize he needs to get stronger.

Things went overboard between DAMNATION T.A and CDK. There were dueling attempts at the Crossface Lock by both Daisuke Sasaki and Masahiro Takanashi on each other. Fighting went on outside the ring where Sasaki grabbed his DDT Universal Title and Baliyan Akki suddenly distracted him so Chris Brookes could hit a Topé. More fighting broke out between Sasaki, Takanashi, Brookes, Akki and MJ Paul that the match had to be called off. Sasaki complained about the “piece of trash from Ichigaya” getting involved in his business. Takanashi is standing up for his friends. Although he is a DDT wrestler, he wants to win the Universal Title on behalf of ChocoPro!

Nobody else was allowed at ringside for the DDT Extreme Title match. What that meant was we ended up with Yumehito Imanari fighting fairly and seriously against Shinya Aoki. A Sleeper Hold rendered Imanari unconscious and Aoki let go so he could pin him for the three count. Even he admitted Imanari’s performance today was “fantastic”.

After Kazuki Hirata won the match for his team, Toru Owashi decided to interview him in the ring. Hirata said it was great to have finally surpassed Toui Kojima. But when Owashi asked about his upcoming match against Shuji Kondo, Hirata got nervous. Owashi motivated him by saying as long as he has “Tokyo GO!” he has a chance to win. Hirata agreed and danced to the song until Kondo suddenly appeared inside the ring behind him! Hirata tried to escape but Kondo knocked him down with the King Kong Lariat. He then gently said he is looking forward to their match in Yoyogi.

Naomi Yoshimura is gaining ground on Yuji Hino little by little. He has one more non-title match against him to prepare for but Bodyguard will be there too. He says if HARASHIMA isn’t worried about it then neither is he.

It was announced that The 37KAMIINA will have their own produce show in Shinjuku on 15th February. Also Shunma Katsumata & MAO are getting their own regular show on WRESTLE UNIVERSE called “Super Encounter” beginning on 15th December. The program includes elements of Rojo Pro Wrestling matches between Katsumata & MAO.

The full card for “NEVER MIND 2021 IN YOYOGI” is here. Yukio Sakaguchi’s return match is also Minoru Suzuki’s first time back in DDT in almost five years. But what does Suzuki have to do to take on Eruption? According to Maki Itoh it’s join the NEO Itoh Respect Army! We’ll take her word that he has joined the unit.

BURNING is the newest unit in DDT. The complete group of four led by Tetsuya Endo will have their first match together in Yoyogi. They are heading straight into the heat of things by going against The 37KAMIINA.

An unusual request was put out there by Super Sasadango Machine. He asked DDT to team with Shinya Aoki & Yumiko Hotta to take on Pheromones. According to Sasadango, he met up with Aoki to record a podcast and afterward Aoki admitted to him that he is in love with Hotta! Aoki grew up watching Hotta’s matches on the ATHENA TV show and never gave up hope that they would one day be together. That day finally came when Aoki defended the DDT Extreme Title against Hotta. It was the only time when Aoki felt at ease with another person. Sasadango wants the two of them to reunite under the lens of Yumehito Imanari’s camera. That is why he put together this match against Pheromones.

The dark matches will air live on DDT’s Youtube channel. Sanshiro Takagi is playing with fire here because his opponent is Maku Donaruto! He’s just daring Youtube to ban the channel at this point.

DDT/ONLY WE “INTO THE FIGHT 2022 TOUR IN CHIBA”, 20/02/2022

6. HARASHIMA (1)

The D-Ou Grand Prix final comes down to two classmates from the same stable. All week Tetsuya Endo talked lightly about Yuki Ueno, thinking a victory over him was certain. Instead Ueno had other plans and he blocked the Shooting Star Press with his knees. The Dropkick to the face hit its mark but Endo fired back with one of his own. Ueno also stood firm and hit another Dropkick before putting Endo in the WR for the big win. The A Block finished with four wrestlers all tied in first but the Head To Head results ultimately determined Ueno as the winner advancing to the final! He would agree that this is a great achievement that’s worth praise. Endo on the other hand now feels he has nowhere to go. He isn’t going back to DAMNATION T.A because he doesn’t want anything to do with the guy in charge of that ever again. In 2022 he will go on a journey to become a new Tetsuya Endo!

Over in the B Block there was no tiebreaker needed for first place. Konosuke Takeshita completes the group stage undefeated with a successful blitz on Kazusada Higuchi. The two wasted no time and went throwing big bombs at each other. Takeshita threw out the Zahi knee strike and brought back the Surprise Rose to win in quick fashion. That is a move Takeshita has purposely held back from using because it is dangerous for him to do. But Higuchi is an opponent he felt he needed to use it against. Higuchi called the match a disappointing result but one he will take as a lesson for the future.

So now finally Ueno gets to stand face to face against Takeshita again. He’s seen his friend wrestle ever since they were in high school and that lead to Ueno falling in love with DDT. Ueno has gotten strong over the last five years and he’ll do his best to beat Takeshita in the final on 5th December. Takeshita is happy that Ueno will be his opponent for a Korakuen Hall main event. He encourages Ueno to try and go beyond him because they will have a match that only they can put together.

For Yuji Okabayashi it was a case of so close yet so far. He also went through the entire tournament undefeated but two draws keep him away from reaching the final. The time limit stalemate here gives HARASHIMA a little bit of redemption. All throughout the grand prix he’s been telling people he is in great shape despite a horrible run of defeat after defeat. Being able to fight Okabayashi for 30 minutes without losing is proof he can still go and he is confident he can do better. He wants to keep looking forward, aiming higher and win again. Okabayashi feels HARASHIMA’s love for DDT. It is that persistence that prevented the Big Japan wrestler from getting his rematch with Takeshita. Speaking of that, Okabayashi is now rooting for Takeshita to win the final. If he loses, Okabayashi will come back to kill him!

Jun Akiyama did what he could do to catch up but his win over Bodyguard wasn’t enough to push him over the line. Akiyama blocked the Rising High Kick, hit the Kneelift and then another one with his exposed knee. That only got a one count. Akiyama then threw Bodyguard over with the Exploder but that got a two count. Akiyama had to hit more Running Knee Lifts and then use the Wrist-Clutch Exploder to finally put Bodyguard away. Bodyguard was impressed by Akiyama’s strength and thinks he is moving faster than he was back in All Japan. If DDT wants to invite him back, he will work harder, rebuild his body and compete again.

Oh no, what did Pheromones do this time? Danshoku Dieno & Yuki Iino used their skills to put Yuji Hino, MAO & Yukio Naya all in compromising positions. When Yumehito Imanari grabbed his camera and began to film them, Hisaya Imabayashi ordered the match to be called off. Imabayashi singled out Imanari to blame this time and called him the root of all evil. The GM knows just who to call to come over and destroy him. It’s Shinya Aoki!

A video played of Aoki nominating Imanari as the next DDT Extreme Title challenger and the stipulation is no seconds are allowed at ringside. The match will go ahead in Shinjuku FACE on 12th December. Imanari noticed that when Aoki says the word indie it sounds like he is saying indecent. The press may misreport that the match will be lewd because of that. So Imanari promised that even without his friends at ringside, the match is going to get lewd!

The grudge between Daisuke Sasaki and Soma Takao got even dirtier when they attacked each other after the opening match. With Mizuki Watase already beaten, MJ Paul grabbed onto Takao and held him down. Sasaki then brought out a bag of dog food and claimed he kept this for over ten years. “I’ll never forget the dog food you made me eat!” he shouted. Sasaki attempted to force feed Takao but he punched back and shoved the food into Sasaki’s mouth. Takao then declared he will win the DDT Universal Title from him on 5th December.

The rookies got to experience Hardcore wrestling for the first time thanks to Shunma Katsumata. He invited Toui Kojima, Hideki Okatani and Yuya Koroku to go wild with weapons such as block toys, barbed wire bats, clothing pins, chairs, ladders, pop crackers and more. Okatani tried to put Kojima through a table with the Double Arm Suplex but the table didn’t break. Okatani smashed him through the table the second time. Katsumata covered Koroku in an Acupressure Foot Mat and pinned him with the Totonoe Splash. The rookies all agreed the match was painful but fun.

After the contest was over, Katsumata apologised for making a mess during the dark match. Then suddenly Hyper Misao entered the ring carrying a sign and attacked him with it. She is angry with him for a bunch of reasons. First, The 37KAMIINA humiliated her at the Tokyo Dome during the Rojo Pro Wrestling match held there. And second, Misao is upset she wasn’t invited to be in the Hardcore Match today. She demanded a Hardcore Match against Katsumata and it will happen on 18th December in Nagoya. Katsumata questioned if it is heroic to attack someone from behind and if Misao really is a hero? Misao said this is the way of a hero and she will end his hardcore life!

The very first match of the day was eventful before it even begun. Akito pinned Toru Owashi during his in-ring introduction to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Owashi, Kazuki Hirata and Antonio Honda then chased after Akito while the match went ahead. Yuki Ishida used his power to knock over opponents but Yusuke Okada soon stopped his momentum. Naomi Yoshimura threw everyone around. Saki Akai went wild against Chris Brookes & Masahiro Takanashi. The Iron Man chase returned to the ring and Honda revealed that today is Hirata’s birthday! He sang him a birthday song but Hirata cut him off with a Cradle for a nearfall. CDK grabbed Hirata and used a Super Kick/Praying Mantis Bomb combo to put him away.

The show began with the D-Ou Grand Prix chairman Kenta Kobashi greeting the audience and declaring the opening of the final day. Endo could be heard cheering his announcement from the locker room.

Since today is Hirata’s birthday and there were two special announcements for him. On 26th December in Yoyogi, Maku Donaruto will be on the show. Also on the show Hirata is getting a big singles match against Shuji Kondo! Hirata was surprised by the second announcement and promised to do his best. He doesn’t even know Kondo despite their Kobe connection. He also wants Kondo to go easy on him.

The second DDTeeeen!! show will be held at Itabashi Green Hall on 5th January. Ilusion and El Unicorn both promoted the event at the start of the show.

In 2022 DDT will be hosting a “0 Yen Free Show” once a month for the entire year. The first one will take place in Shinjuku FACE on 7th January.

It took three matches for Jun Akiyama to finally get a win and score some points. He just had to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat against the undefeated Tetsuya Endo to do it. Endo threw his big moves and almost pinned Akiyama with the Swivel Torture Rack Bomb. Seeing the end in sight, Endo then hit the Shooting Star Press but Akiyama caught hold of Endo on the mat and rolled him over for a three count out of nowhere. Even Akiyama was surprised by the result because Endo had more energy. He joked that maybe it’s because Endo is out showing his ass all the time. Endo pointed out he only lost once in this D-Ou Grand Prix and he will win the rest of his matches so keep an eye on him. Akiyama knows he is in survival mode with one win and two losses so far. He has no choice but to win from here on out.

The meeting of former Nautilus partners saw Naomi Yoshimura defeat Yuki Ueno. It was a much needed win for Yoshimura personally because it shows he can still do it. Ueno broke his heart by ending their team then went on to take the glory. But today is a reminder that Yoshimura is still unbeaten against Ueno in singles matches. He faces Akiyama next and finds himself in a similar position. Whoever loses will be out of contention for the final. Ueno noticed that Yoshimura hasn’t been enjoying himself in his matches lately. He wishes he would go out there to have more fun. Ueno also joked that he hates Yoshimura now because Yoshimura beat him today.

The two outsiders collided in Block A when Yuji Hino faced Bodyguard. Hino pulled out an Exploder Suplex to weaken his opponent for a Lariat afterward. The Fuckin’ BOMB then finished Bodyguard off. A surprised Hino cannot figure out where Bodyguard gets his power from because he is an over 50 year old man. Hino would like to grow old like that. But he doesn’t share the enthusiasm for his next opponent Yuki Ueno. Bodyguard calls Hino a monster and he will watch the match back to figure out why he lost to him. He has Tetsuya Endo to worry about next too.

Block B is turning into a two horse race. Yuji Okabayashi put away Chris Brookes to reach 5 points. A chop battle proved Brookes was capable of throwing the same amount of punishment he could take from his stronger opponent. He tried to outsmart him to by applying a Samson Clutch for a flash nearfall. Okabayashi took control though and squashed Brookes with the Golem Splash to win. He was impressed to find power and skill from a wrestler he thought was just thin and tall. He’s ready to fight Kazusada Higuchi head on next. Brookes doesn’t want to give up yet. He is getting motivation from having Masahiro Takanashi and Drew Parker in his corner. His next match is also against Higuchi and will happen before the Okabayashi match.

Konosuke Takeshita is keeping up with Okabayashi neck and neck in first place. He is also at 5 points after beating MAO in an all The 37KAMIINA match-up. MAO applied the Clothespin hold he used to beat Higuchi but Takeshita powered out of it. MAO then went for the Cannonball 450 but Takeshita rolled out of the way. The German Suplex and Zahi couldn’t put MAO down so Takeshita had to submit him with the Plus Ultra. The match was close but Takeshita thinks he is now the strongest he has ever been. His evolution over the past year has been significant so he now has to get ready for HARASHIMA. MAO on the other hand doesn’t think the match was close at all and thinks it was a complete defeat. The gap between him and Takeshita is getting bigger but MAO hopes some day he will win on the big stage.

Nobody has come forward to challenge Daisuke Sasaki for the DDT Universal Title so he decided to nominate his own challenger. He wants Yuki Ishida, the rookie that he and MJ Paul just beat today. Hisaya Imabayashi refused to book the match because Ishida has only been wrestling for a month. Soma Takao then ran out and attacked Sasaki. He said he just wanted to talk but now that Sasaki is looking for a challenger, he will step up. He promised to take everything Sasaki has got and humiliate him too. Sasaki claims he still isn’t interested in Takao but he will wrestle him once before he takes on his real challenger. It might be Ishida or it might not depending on what mood Sasaki will be in. Imabayashi booked the title match for Korakuen Hall on 5th December. The champion coming out of it will then defend the title in Yoyogi on the 26th.

The opening match saw Hideki Okatani betray his own partner Akito by pinning him for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. This was while the match was still going on. He tried to escape but Kazuki Hirata dragged him back to the ring and outwrestled him to win the match and also the belt. Toru Owashi then pinned Hirata with a School Boy to take the title and add it to his growing collection of championships. Hirata tried to School Boy Owashi back but couldn’t make him budge.

Yokohama Radiant Hall

6. HARASHIMA (0)

Two heavyweights collided in the main event of the second D-Ou Grand Prix show. Jun Akiyama was dragged into a battle of raw power that he could not win, no matter how many Knee Strikes and Exploder Suplexes he did. He tried targeting Yuji Hino’s arm as well but it didn’t stop Hino from throwing Lariat after Lariat until he pinned Akiyama with the Fuckin’ BOMB. Hino said he was so focused on today’s match that he didn’t realize it was the main event. He thinks Akiyama is a great legend and he fought his heart out today, which Hino appreciates. The world is opening up again but Hino still wants the fans to play it safe and be careful so they can cheer loudly at shows again soon. Akiyama did not give any comment after the match.

The tension that formed between Naomi Yoshimura and Bodyguard at opening day led to an evenly matched bout between them. A Right High Kick was the difference maker and Bodyguard won his first D-Ou match. It was a move Bodyguard was counting on to combat Yoshimura’s youth. He might need it again because Hino is his next opponent on 10th November. Yoshimura admitted he didn’t perform well today. He also has to face Tetsuya Endo tomorrow. Endo warned he will break Yoshimura’s thick legs. Yoshimura doesn’t think that is possible because he has never gotten a leg injury before.

Chris Brookes is on the table with his first win while HARASHIMA is now zero for two. Brookes caught the Somato and countered it into La Magistral Cradle but HARASHIMA got a rope break. Brookes then countered another Somato into a Samson Clutch to get the three count from out of nowhere. Brookes said afterwards he hurt his shoulder during the match and is piling up minor injuries in his neck and fingers. His remaining matches in Block B aren’t just fights, they are now hard fights. HARASHIMA said he wasn’t careless in the ring but he still lost and that is all that matters. There is still a chance HARASHIMA can get back in track and he believes he is in great shape, so he will continue giving it his all.

The Koppojutsu training is already paying off for MAO. Now I’m no martial arts expert so I don’t know if Planchas and Moonsaults are Koppojutsu skills. But what MAO did do that was new is spike Kazusada Higuchi’s head into the mat with a Headscissors and then kept in a tight squeeze with his knees until Higuchi fainted. MAO said the win is a fluke but that’s his entire goal. His wrestling style is now a mixture of lies and sincerity, falsehood and reality, truth and fiction. He is mixing together three things that don’t mix at all: Japanese lucha, British wrestling and Koppojutsu. He is leaving it all up to chance in this tournament and that includes his next match against Yuji Okabayashi. Higuchi gets what MAO is doing. It sounds like nonsense but MAO has clearly thought it through and Higuchi gives credit for beating him.

Soma Takao approached DAMNATION T.A again after their match but Daisuke Sasaki Super Kicked him and attacked him with a chair. Sasaki got on the microphone and told Takao to stay away from DAMNATION T.A because he is only making them less valuable. He now wants Hisaya Imabayashi to take care of this so Takao will leave them alone. Takao says he just wants to talk to Sasaki so it’s strange that Sasaki always attacks him with a chair.

Match #2 was a big one for Toui Kojima. He’s been appealing to join The 37KAMIINA for ages and today is the first time he is wrestling them since he came back from injury. Kojima eagerly fought Konosuke Takeshita and even gave him the Full Nelson Buster. But Shunma Katsumata dashed the rookie’s hopes and pinned him with the Totonoe Splash. After the match Kojima pleaded with The 37KAMIINA to let him join them because he recently won his first match in Ota Ward Gymnasium. Katsumata liked the idea but Yuki Ueno wasn’t convinced, citing Yuki Ishida being the person Kojima pinned in that match. Kojima pushed that a win is a win and being in The 37KAMIINA will make him stronger. Ueno changed his mind and said he felt Kojima’s motivation back when he dislocated his elbow. Takeshita then shook his hand to confirm Toui Kojima is now a member of The 37KAMIINA! MAO didn’t find out until the entire group got together for a post-show interview. He just stared at Kojima and asked why is he here? The others explained and MAO welcomed Kojima after his confusion went away.

Kazuki Hirata tried to roll up Akito for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title after the opening match. Akito kicked out and escaped with the belt.

The first four matches in the D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 II took place inside Ota Ward Gymnasium. In the main event Konosuke Takeshita was taken to the limit by Yuji Okabayashi until the time expired. The Plus Ultra and German Suplex couldn’t put Okabayashi. But on the other hand the Golem Splash and Argentine Backbreaker wasn’t enough to beat Takeshita either. Takeshita was fighting to apply the Plus Ultra once more when the bell rang and the match ended in a draw. Takeshita is pleased with the result because he wanted to test his current power. He concluded that he is in great shape and has become a stronger wrestler. It was a contest of strength and Takeshita believes he went all out in Ota Ward today. Now he wants a rematch with Okabayashi and he thinks winning the D-Ou GP will make that happen. It could also happen in a tiebreaker if there is a tie for 1st place in their block. Okabayashi is frustrated over what happened. He doesn’t lose power struggles inside the ring that often. He promises to win the rest of the tournament and crush Takeshita whenever they cross paths again.

Today went exactly how Yuki Ueno imagined it would go. He expected the Knee Strikes, the Front Neck Lock and the Exploder Suplexes. After a perfectly placed Dropkick to the face, Ueno used the WR to beat Jun Akiyama! Everything went right for Ueno which makes him thinks this edition of the D-Ou GP will be a very good tournament for him. Akiyama accepts the result and the situation. It didn’t matter how much of the match he controlled, he still lost in the end. It can’t be helped if he has a target on his back for the younger generation to aim for.

The question going into Tetsuya Endo Vs Yuji Hino was whether or not Endo could give his larger opponent the Torture Rack Bomb. It took some effort but he was finally able to deliver the move. However the move took something out of him too and a delayed pin allowed Hino to kick out at two. Endo had to change his plan and attempted the Canadian Destroyer. Hino blocked the move but Endo then suddenly Cradled him and held him down for dear life to get the three count. Now that DAMNATION is gone, Endo said today is the first step towards becoming the top wrestler in DDT again. He thinks DDT wouldn’t be fun if he wasn’t on top. His next opponent is Naomi Yoshimura. Endo revealed that the two knew each other before Yoshimura joined DDT. He used to tease Endo all the time for having skinny legs. Endo promises he will break Yoshimura’s legs for revenge! Hino is immediately moving on from this loss to focus on his next opponent, Jun Akiyama.

The rivalry between HARASHIMA and Kazusada Higuchi resurfaced once more. At first HARASHIMA targeted his Higuchi’s legs but the match turned into the two throwing bombs at each other. HARASHIMA went for the big finish by doing a Springboard but Higuchi caught him in the Brain Claw. That by itself couldn’t win the match so Higuchi turned it into a big Brain Claw Slam to earn the victory. For Higuchi the win is another step forward. It builds his confidence and makes him think he will win the D-Ou GP. HARASHIMA is sorry he lost but believes he is still in great shape for the rest of the tournament.

The Hardcore Tag Match was carnage for the plastic boxes getting destroyed all over the place. MAO gave a shoutout to Speedball Mike Bailey by doing the Ultima Weapon onto Chris Brookes. He then stapled a Wrestle Universe advert onto Drew Parker’s forehead. Brookes did the same to him. Shunma Katsumata then took it further by stapling an ad onto Parker’s tongue. Parker fought back with a dart but Katsumata shoved it back into his mouth and pierced it through Parker’s cheek! Katsumata & MAO then tried the NepoWER Shower but Brookes got out of the way, leaving them to crash into more boxes. Parker put MAO through a table with the Swanton Bomb and then hit the Spiral Tap on Katsumata. He and Brookes then finished Katsumata off with a Super Power Bomb onto more plastic boxes. Parker greeted the DDT fans afterwards and gave his support to Brookes for the D-Ou GP.

Match #3 fell apart after an accidental ref bump caused by Yoshimura. He & Bodyguard were able to Double Choke Slam MJ Paul. Then Daisuke Sasaki brought a chair into the ring and he lured Yoshimura into Clotheslining Bodyguard by accident. Soma Takao then ran in and attacked Sasaki while Yoshimura & Bodyguard started fighting each other. Yukinori Matsui regained consciousness and saw chaos in the ring so he called off the match. It just so happens that Yoshimura and Bodyguard are facing each other in the D-Ou GP this Saturday. That’s convenient. Takao still wants an explanation from Sasaki as to why he turned his back on him. Sasaki thinks Takao is now working for Ganbare☆Pro and wants security to do a better job keeping wrestlers from other places invading DDT.

Saki Akai & Masahiro Takanashi were joined by Yukio Sakaguchi for their match. There wasn’t the same level of harmony for Chihiro Hashimoto & Yukio Naya. The finish saw Hashimoto grabbing Takanashi to do the Albright German Suplex. Then due to a lot of scrambling in the ring, Hashimoto ended up giving the Albright to her tag partner instead. Takanashi then pinned Naya to steal the win. Despite the result, Hashimoto wants to come back and wrestle Akai again. Akai will be wrestling at Sendai Girls on 23rd November so they can sort something out there is Akai wants to.

You’ll need more than handcuffs to stop Pheromones from their antics. Sanshiro Takagi’s plans couldn’t prevent them from becoming the new KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions. Takagi brought out the Dramatic Dream bike to drill into his opponents. Danshoku Dieno took out Shinya Aoki with the Lip Lock. He then got into the Hell Gate position and Yumehito Imanari sprayed fire extinguisher through it into Yusuke Okada. Imanari then handcuffed Okada and left him vulnerable for Yuki Iino’s Sexy Lariat for the finish. Dieno told the “Pheromaniacs” that the unit now cannot be disbanded and they will continue to take everyone to their land of dreams!

The show began with Kenta Kobashi introducing the D-Ou GP entries and receiving the trophy from the previous winner Akiyama. He declared the D-Ou Grand Prix open and watched the matches from the broadcast table. He praised the four tournament matches today and thinks the rest of the tournament will be just as good.

There were three pre-show matches including a title bout. The KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Titles changed hands when Team Olympian lost to Toru Owashi and the so-called DDT Variety Team. Both teams agreed to No Tag Rules for the match to keep the action going. The big highlight was the first time meeting of Yoshiaki Yatsu and Yoshihiko that ended with Yatsu putting the doll in the Prison Lock until Antonio Honda broke it up. Yoshihiko then flew out of the ring after Hiroshi Yamato gave Kazuki Hirata a German Suplex. Akito & Keigo Nakamura focused on Hirata until Yoshihiko came back in for the rescue. Their teamwork together was the difference maker and Hirata pinned Nakamura after an assisted Reincarnation from Yoshihiko. Honda said there are a lot of units in DDT now but if they can get rid of those groups one by one then they can climb up the card all the way up to the main event! Backstage Yatsu was impressed by the depth of Yoshihiko’s abilities.

Takao had a friendlier time in the ring with Baliyan Akki than he did with DAMNATION T.A. Akki put up a good fight by hitting a No Touch Topé Suicida and the Namaste Press. But Takao caught him in the Official Endless Waltz to wear him out and get the three count.

Toui Kojima is back and the new generation of DDT is complete again. Even better for Kojima, he got his first win too. Yuya Koroku and Hideki Okatani kept each other busy so it came down to Kojima and the newest rookie Yuki Ishida. Kojima used a Full Nelson Buster to beat him. Now that his elbows are completely healed, Kojima is going back to his goal of joining The 37KAMIINA!

After over four years away, DDT made its return to the world famous Tokyo Dome for its second empty arena show in the venue. This time the visit was to crown the winners of the first ever DDT TOKYO DOME CUP. 5 million yen was put on the line with 5 teams competing in total. When The 37KAMIINA entered the field first the format was revealed to be a Gauntlet match. They complained about the unfair disadvantage of being the first team but they kept quiet when Hisaya Imabayashi handed them a million yen in cash. The voice of Azusa Takigawa explained over the speakers that every team is given a million yen. The winners of each round would then take the losers’ money until the entire prize pot was filled. Chris Brookes, The Brahman Brothers and Gorgeous Matsuno then entered the field and handed over their money to start the match.

The two teams brawled around the baseball diamond. Brookes attempted to do an Old School walk across the fence but Konosuke Takeshita knocked him off it. The 37KAMIINA held each of their opponents in a Headlock on all four bases and all charged into the pitcher’s mound to give their opponents one big meeting of the minds. An Estrella chain was formed while Yuki Ueno countered the Praying Mantis Bomb into a Hurricanrana on Brookes for a nearfall. The Brahmans brought out their wacky weapons and gathered their opponents onto home base where they bowled a spare on them (Brahman Shu’s first bowl missed and hit Brahman Kei in the foot). Brookes leapt over Takeshita & Ueno to give MAO a Cutter. Matsuno took over and attempted to Power Bomb MAO but it was blocked. The Brahmans ran in with an electric drill but missed MAO and caught Matsuno in the groin with it instead. Brookes threw powder but MAO ducked that too and Matsuno took the damage again. MAO laid The Brahmans’ traffic sign underneath Matsuno and Curb Stomped him into it for the win.

The 37KAMIINA now had 2,000,000 yen and walked up the stands to meet their next opponents. Along the way Saki Akai appeared working as a beer seller. Shunma Katsumata asked for a beer and Akai told him it would cost 2 million yen. When Katsumata said that’s too expensive Akai called him a poor man, kicked him in the face and walked off looking for more customers.

The next team entering the Gauntlet appeared in the concourse area. It was the Tokyo Joshi Pro team! Hyper Misao carried a protest sign accusing The 37KAMIINA of lying about their love for saunas. They’re just cashing in on the rising popularity of the sauna industry and secretly hates saunas! She then pulled out a straw doll and began attacking it, committing a voodoo spell on Katsumata that worked. Ueno turned the spell against Misao and made her writhe in pain by twisting the doll in her direction. Misao stopped the spell by blinding Ueno with a spray and throwing him into a nearby trash can. Maki Itoh attacked MAO in the stands and called for the Cutest Knuckle Punch In The World to the empty Tokyo Dome. She then attempted the Gran Naniwa Crab Walk across a railing but was next to a column and had no room to complete the move. Hikari Noa took out a Barbwire Baseball Bat and Katsumata brought over a toy bat covered in Lego for a duel between the two. Their fight left a mess of Lego all over the floor. That left Takeshita facing off with Miyu Yamashita in a clash between the two champions of DDT and Tokyo Joshi. Yamashita kicked him good but was thrown chin first into a railing. She got angry and threw more kicks at The 37KAMIINA until MAO showed up challenging her to a martial arts face off. The two had a tense staredown that ended when MAO made Yamashita flinch and then punched her while her guard was down. Noa ran in holding a ladder over her head and shoulders, spinning around and knocking her opponents away. Takeshita stopped the spinning and Katsumata hit the ladder with a chair, leaving Noa in a stunned state. Yamashita was ready to charge back in when suddenly Misao cycled into the scene on a bike and crashed right into a castle of chairs! MAO smashed a plastic box over Itoh’s head but she no sold it. Her head finally took damage when MAO blocked the Kokeshi Headbutt with a chair. MAO then gave Itoh a Package Piledriver onto a stack of chairs. Finally, Katsumata laid Misao onto a pile of Chairs and hit the Totonoe Splash off of a scaffold for the three count. The 37KAMIINA now have 3 million yen.

The next round was taking place in the bullpen but on the way over, everyone bumped into Saki Akai again. Katsumata again tried to buy a beer but now Akai told him it would cost 3 million yen. He said the price is a ripoff so Akai kicked him down the stairway.

Waiting in the bullpen were Shinya Aoki, Kazusada Higuchi & Kazuki Hirata. They had a mystery partner too and it was revealed to be the RIZIN fighter Kouzi! The match started in the bullpen but moved over to the outfield. Higuchi threw MAO into the wall with a BT Bomb. Aoki’s team then all put The 37KAMIINA in submission holds when all of a sudden, the lights went out. They came back on and Yoshihiko was there standing above them in the seats! It did a dive from the balcony onto everyone below. It then caught Aoki in an Armbar until Hirata broke them apart. Yoshihiko challenged Kouzi to a fight but it was defeated with a combo that ended in a High Kick. Hirata praised Kouzi but then knocked him out with the Tegatana strike. The Hirata GO! glasses were pulled out and Hirata started dancing until Ueno Dropkicked him. Kouzi called for his special move and charged in for a Headbutt (Kouzi has a reputation for headbutting opponents in his fights, whether it’s always accidental is up for debate). Ueno dodged it and Hirata took the blow, leading him to get pinned. Imabayashi interviewed Kouzi after the round to see if he enjoyed the experience. Kouzi said it was a lot of fun and he is already prepared to transfer from RIZIN to DDT so he can continue doing it!

While everyone was getting into place for the final round, a VIP ceremonial first pitch was held back on the field. The first surprise was Jun Akiyama entering to the pitcher’s mound. The second surprise was Kenta Kobashi stepping up to the plate ready to bat! Akiyama threw a dangerous ball at Kobashi, causing a fight to nearly break out between them for the first time in the Tokyo Dome since 2004! Cooler heads prevailed and the two shook hands before introducing the final round.

Pheromones entered the field alongside Tetsuya Endo who for one night only was part of their antics as Tetsuya “Hercules” Endo. The entire prize pot of 5,000,000 yen was now complete and the final would be held under special rules. DDT is combining pro wrestling and baseball together to create Wrestleball! They play baseball and score runs by pinning their opponents on the way to the bases. It didn’t really make much sense and only got more crazy from there. Pheromones scored three points during an inning that involved Yuki Iino doing the Sexy Elbow on his opponents after hitting a home run, Endo getting his shorts pulled down and Danshoku Dieno committing “Brazilian Flatulence” by spraying a CO2 canister from between his legs onto everyone while two samba dancers performed beside him. The 37KAMIINA went into the final inning needing to score 4 runs to win. They got the bases loaded despite some bad swinging from Takeshita & Ueno. The score got tied when Katsumata, Ueni & MAO all ran home. Dieno & Iino were left incapacitated thanks to a Lip Lock gone wrong. Takeshita ran his way round the bases but Endo stood in his way, still with his backside exposed. Endo went for a Hip Attack but Takeshita caught him with an Atomic Drop and knocked him into the air with a Lariat. All that was left was to reach home base. Takeshita sprinted over, hit Yumehito Imanari with the Zahi and German Suplexed him onto home plate for the winning run. The 37KAMIINA wins the DDT TOKYO DOME CUP!

But that wasn’t the end because there was one more surprise for everyone. The 5 million yen is a rewards for one person only so now The 37KAMIINA had to fight each other to claim the prize for themselves! Katsumata got a Triple Super Kick from his partners and the other three fought amongst themselves. Hisaya Imabayashi watched on until a member of the Tokyo Dome management approached him. He was told the show has gone on past the agreed time and DDT now has to pay an extension fee of 5,000,000 yen! Imabayashi hurriedly paid management the entire prize money while The 37KAMIINA continued fighting each other, oblivious that the prize was now gone.
