8. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) defeated Akito with the WR (28:42).
*V4 for Yuki Ueno.
It was a long shot from the beginning over Akito’s chances of winning the KO-D Openweight Title. His plan over time was to wear down Yuki Ueno both physically and then mentally in the prelim matches building up to this bout. Ultimately the plan did not work out but Ueno had to work hard for half an hour to retain his championship. By targeting the knee Akito was able to avoid the WR several times. He also unexpectedly adopted some of Danshoku Dieno’s signature moves to try and win. But Ueno was finally able to land his finisher and get the victory. He was full of praise for Akito after the match and he wants to share his dream of bringing DDT all the way to the Tokyo Dome! Akito thanked Ueno by directly presenting him with the winner’s prize for the main event, since he is also the company vice president.
The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles now belong to DAMNATION T.A again and they don’t want to defend it against anybody! KANON in particular had to go through so much to win the belts. He has been the target of Dieno’s affections lately and that continued with Dieno chasing him all the way up to the balcony seats. KANON got some revenge back in the ring when he was thrown towards Dieno’s Hell Gate and he blocked it with a Volleyball Spike to the rear. Jun Akiyama then found himself getting a face full of the Hell Gate. That left Makoto Oishi alone to fight off both Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul but he couldn’t survive. Sasaki put him in the Crossface Lock and he tapped out. Originally D.O.A said they were going to disband as soon as they lost the titles but plans have now changed. Oishi is annoyed that neither Dieno or Akiyama came to save him but he’s not going to break up the unit just yet. He forced the three of them to shake each other’s hands backstage and continue to do their best as Dead Or Alive!
Kazuki Hirata brought out an unknown person to the ring for his match and introduced him as his disciple Adachi Tamasuke. He was allowed by HARASHIMA to stick around at ringside to learn about the business. Whenever HARASHIMA was about to beat Hirata with the Somato, Tamasuke would interrupt the match to ask HARASHIMA questions. That allowed Hirata to recover and try to fight back. HARASHIMA soon lost his temper and slammed him out of frustration. As Tamasuke drifted into unconsciousness he told Hirata all he ever wanted was to see his master do his famous Rainmaker move. Hirata had to tell Tamasuke he confused him for someone else. So instead Tamasuke wished for Hirata and HARASHIMA to dance together. They did but it was all a trap for Tamasuke to grab HARASHIMA and hold him in place. The trap failed and Hirata accidentally knocked out his disciple. He still rolled up HARASHIMA in the Miracle One Shot Cradle but he kicked out and beat Hirata with the Somato. Hirata admitted he hired Tamasuke to become his disciple and he might not have the money to continue training him.
In a non-title match BURNING defeated The 37KAMIINA in a regular tag bout. Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino were happy to win their match at the Higashin Arena but both admit they have no emotional connection to the place. They are now turning their attention to the King Of DDT tournament and think they may wind up fighting each other in the final. No matter who wins they want to show the tournament will be about BURNING! It was To-y who took the fall in the match and he is angry over it. He knows it is a single elimination tournament so he cannot afford to lose after working so hard to win the D GENERATIONS CUP and qualify for this. Shunma Katsumata won’t be in the tournament but hearing To-y’s words gave him motivation for the next DDT Extreme Title defence.
Whenever you fight Sanshiro Takagi you can never know what idea he will come up with. You may even find yourself fighting… yourself! Sayaka Unagi was in for a shock when Takagi entered the ring dressed and painted head to toe just like her. He had become Sanshiro Unagi! They fought each other Hardcore style with fire extinguishers, plastic cases and even a castle of chairs getting knocked over outside the ring. Sanshiro kicked out of the Sliding U and suffered a slight wardrobe malfunction when Sayaka accidentally pulled his wig off. The awkward moment left a big enough pause for Sanshiro to give her a Stunner and win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title! He explained after the match that Unagi has become a great wrestler who is also famous among people who are not wrestling fans. Takagi dressing up like her today is proof of that! Unagi said she always thought Dramatic Dream Team was a genius idea for a name and she will continue to work hard so she can one day surpass Takagi. She offered a handshake and then surprised Takagi with a roll up to win back the Iron Man Title! Takagi gave her credit and said since they are both from Toyonaka City they should team up as the Unagi Warriors. They left the ring together but then Takagi rolled up Unagi at the entrance to win the Iron Man Title again!
There was another Iron Man Title change later in the show. After Match #5 had finished, DDT and the Zeekstar Tokyo handball team held a few challenges in the venue. First the mascot Zeestar beat Pokotan in a sumo contest. Then Takagi, still in his Unagi costume was encouraged to play in goal for a game of handball where he was obliterated by shots from the Zeekstar team. He was left beaten and laying on the ground so Zeestar decided to pin him and win the title!
The wacky history of the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles can now finally say that a champion team had more than one title defence. SCHADENFREUDE International successfully retained the titles against Toro Owashi and his merry men (he claims there is a secret bond between sumo and parliament which explains his team choices). Mecha Mummy felt left out at some points because it was too heavy to get involved with the tag team moves but it made a big impact using the Mecha Drill on all five opponents. The challengers tried fighting back with Tomomitsu Matsunaga hitting Tommy Bombers and Shinichiro Kawamatsu using the Shitamachi Rocket finisher but Takeshi Masada won the match for his team. Chris Brookes said he loves the 10-Man Tag Titles and wants to defend them in other places like Baka Gaijin + Friends. He will also be fighting Masada in the King Of DDT 1st Round. Both Antonio Honda & Masahiro Takanashi are staying neutral for the match.
More King Of DDT preparation was shown on the undercard with Kazusada Higuchi and Yukio Naya facing off in a tag match. Yuya Koroku and Rukiya were there to be thrown around by the heavyweights. Higuchi got the last hit in on Naya by knocking him off the ring apron with a Lariat. He then made Rukiya submit to the Canadian Backbreaker. Higuchi thinks Naya has gotten stronger since their last singles match against each other but he will not lose to him again. Naya said he wants to prove he is better than Higuchi.
The return of Keigo Nakamura from injury had bigger stakes attached to it when MAO agreed to defend the DDT Universal Title against him. Nakamura wrestled in a new costume and showed some HARASHIMA influence by hitting a Reverse Frankensteiner followed by the Somato. A missed Diving Headbutt stopped his momentum and MAO took over, eventually winning with the Cannonball 450. MAO congratulated Nakamura on his return and told it takes more than just winning to become a strong pro wrestler. You get strong by wrestling a hundred matches a year without getting injured. He encouraged Nakamura to continue wrestling so he can grow stronger.
In the pre-show Kazuma Sumi won in a 3 Way Match. Yuni had things in control when he gave Ilusion a Swinging DDT. He then missed the Phoenix Splash aimed for Sumi and Sumi pinned him with a MIKAMI style School Boy.

7. Dramatic Dream Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).
Fresh back from its trip to America, DDT had a special main event lined up for it’s April visit to Korakuen Hall. Long time friends Yuki Ueno & MAO teamed up to fight another pair of long time friends, ones that come from England. Chris Brookes invited Zack Sabre Jr. from New Japan over so his mate could get to experience DDT first hand (he brought along Kosei Fujita too). Both Ueno & MAO wanted to fight him and got plenty of chances to do so. What started off with some chain wrestling in the ring burst outside and all the way up to the Korakuen balcony. While Sabre was up there he bumped into Pokotan. They got into a fight that ended with Sabre ripping Pokotan’s head off. Back in the ring The 37KAMIINA convinced Yukinori Matsui to allow the use of plastic cases as weapons. Ueno & MAO Power Bombed Sabre through the cases but Matsui refused to count the pinfall. That was his compromise for not disqualifying The 37KAMIINA over using the boxes as weapons. Sabre turned the tables with his submission game. He countered Ueno’s Shining Wizard into an Ankle Lock while Brookes did what he could to try and keep MAO away from rescuing his partner. The final minutes of the match came down to a back and forth between Ueno and Sabre. In the very last seconds, Ueno was unable to pull off the WR and the match ended in a 30 minute draw.
Ueno told Sabre there must have been plenty of obstacles he had to climb over in order to make this match happen so he thanked him for coming to DDT today. He asked Sabre why did he want to come here? Sabre said he is a big Japanese pro wrestling nerd (as opposed to a Big Japan Pro Wrestling nerd) so getting to wrestle in DDT was a dream come true. Nobody won today though so they need to do another match sometime. Ueno welcomed him into the DDT family and said everyone here from now on will be supporting him on his quest to become the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion! MAO described the crazy couple of days he just went through which included wrestling 5 matches across two days in America. That is the crazy love he has for pro wrestling. It just goes to show if Ueno and MAO want to make pro wrestling bigger then they have the abilities to do it. Backstage Sabre praised Ueno for having high flying skill, power and speed. He also thinks he is both handsome and scary. All that was missing for him during his DDT stay was Yoshihiko. Brookes thinks Yoshihiko still had a few matches scheduled in America which is why it wasn’t here today. Sabre reckons the next time we will see him in DDT, he will be the IWGP Champion!
The current generation of BURNING took on their former coach Jun Akiyama along with Tomomitsu Matsunaga in a wild card role. It was the first time in ten years that former champion Matsunaga got to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles again. And it’s been almost 17 years since he had that tag title reign with Michael Nakazawa. He had pinned Yuki Iino with a Crucifix Pin in the build up to the match but the same move did not create the same result here. Instead Iino powered out of an Exploder Suplex attempt and kept hitting Lariats until Matsunaga could not kick out anymore. Tetsuya Endo said it is always frustrating when a talented wrestler like Matsunaga never gets the spotlight for such a long period of time. He called him one of the most underrated wrestlers around and could tell from today’s match he can do so much more. Akiyama agrees and told Matsunaga he still has a long way to go even at the age of 43. He is also encouraging Endo to build a new BURNING that fits the current era of DDT. Endo still has Kenta Kobashi’s blessing to take the unit name so he should use it however he sees fit. As for Akiyama he always preferred being a Sternness guy.
Luck was needed to get ahead in the DDT Extreme Title match. Mystery boxes were placed in every corner in the ring and whatever the wrestlers could find inside was theirs to use as they pleased. A torii gate was also placed in the ring as a background piece while Shunma Katsumata and Hi69 fought each other. The discovered weapons included chairs, Pico Pico Hammers, stuffed panda toys, the official NOAH protein drink, block toys and most important of all the Giga Ladder! Katsumata jumped off the Giga Ladder and hit the Totonou Splash onto Hi69 for the win to remain champion. He admitted being lucky to win and the result would have been different if he did not draw the Giga Ladder ticket. Hi69 called Katsumata a tomboyish champion but he will not give up on winning the Extreme Title. He wants another shot at Katsumata someday in the future.
In a rematch from December 2022, Chihiro Hashimoto was back in DDT to face Shinya Aoki again. Last time Hashimoto was victorious in under 10 minutes. Aoki was more prepared this time around but his efforts could only earn him a 15 minute time limit draw. Aoki tried using the Cobra Twist and Sleeper Hold to try and submit Hashimoto but her powerful strength kept her in the fight until the time expired. Aoki believed he had spent the last year thinking more about pro wrestling and martial arts than Hashimoto did. It turns out he was wrong and even though he got a draw this time, the gap between them is not closing in. Hashimoto wants to have another rematch and thinks DDT is the only place where it should happen.
The final of the second ever D GENERATIONS CUP had the last spot in this year’s King Of DDT tournament on the line. The bracket came down to To-y against Rukiya and both young wrestler went all out. To-y tried using the Kojima Wonderland a couple of times including one from the top turnbuckle. Rukiya meanwhile wanted to use the Proto Bomb to get the win he wanted so bad. But in the end it came down to To-y using the Kojima Impact for the three count, winning him the D GENERATIONS CUP! Rukiya admitted he didn’t expect to get so much fan support during the tournament. With that support he will climb back up and become stronger. To-y said Rukiya often talks about being plain and good natured. He used to be the same but had to start believing in himself if he wanted to climb higher. That is how he seizes his opportunities. His next opportunity is to enter the King Of DDT and he will use that path to get him even closer to his biggest goal of all, the KO-D Openweight Championship!
The 4 Way Trios match was the last time we’ll be seeing Hideki Okatani in action for a while. After today he is taking time off to recover from a torn ACL in his left knee. With four teams of three all involved there were no tag rules in effect to keep the match going. Danshoku Dieno didn’t pay much attention to the times Kazuma Sumi was in trouble. Sumi however tried to rescue Kazuki Hirata when DAMNATION T.A all ganged up on him armed with chairs. Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Naya were powerhouses that needed to be dealt with but that was what HARASHIMA, Yoshitatsu & Takeshi Masada were all there for. The match came down to Okatani pinning Sumi with the Double Arm Suplex for the finish.
The teamwork between Yuni & Yuya Koroku was what helped them defeat Ilusion & Munetatsu Nakamura. Koroku ended up submitting Ilusion with the Modified Triangle Lancer.
The Unpaid Rumble was moved to the pre-show as a special dark match. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi and Akito welcomed a whole bunch of volunteer wrestlers from all corners of the independent, amateur, college and hobby scenes. Along with the regular Battle Royal rules, Hisaya Imabayashi was also judging at ringside with the power to disqualify any entrants if he felt they did not belong in the match for any reason. One by one the participants came and went, each looking odder than the last. Just when it looked like the whole project was a bust, the final entrant appeared. It was Sayaka Unagi with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title! She eliminated Takagi to become the last one standing and win the match!
Unagi’s reason for entering the match was because she’s been taking care of the Iron Man Title since January but DDT hasn’t done anything out of it. Is Takagi an idiot? They should fight each other in a singles match and if Unagi wins she will become the Super Big Boss in pro wrestling! Takagi said he doesn’t really want to win the Iron Man Title again but he does in fact like making money so he accepted her challenge. On 26th April Unagi will assess Takagi!
Some returns are coming up soon. Keigo Nakamura’s first match back from injury will be against MAO on 26th April. Yuki Ishida also announced he will be back on 16th May.
The King Of DDT 1st Round Matches on 5th May are MAO Vs Poison Sawada JULIE, KANON Vs To-y, Yuki Ueno Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Yuki Iino Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Kazusada Higuchi Vs Yukio Naya, HARASHIMA Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Tetsuya Endo Vs Danshoku Dieno and Chris Brookes Vs Takeshi Masada.

DDT “SPRING BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING – DAY 2”, 26/03/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
336 Fans
1. Takeshi Masada & Yuni defeated Yuya Koroku & Kazuma Sumi when Masada pinned Sumi with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (7:00).
2. Chris Brookes, Kazusada Higuchi & Hideki Okatani defeated Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul when Okatani pinned KANON with a Sliding Lariat (11:31).
3. Tetsuya Endo & Toru Owashi (w/ Furitsuke Kamen) defeated Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda when Endo pinned Honda with the Swivel Torture Rack Bomb (8:40).
4. D GENERATIONS CUP 2024 – Semi Final: Rukiya defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with the Proto Bomb (6:54).
5. D GENERATIONS CUP 2024 – Semi Final: To-y defeated Ilusion with the Kojima Impact (8:53).
6. Jun Akiyama & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya when Matsunaga pinned Iino with a Crucifix Pin (14:05).
7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata defeated Akito, HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno when Ueno pinned Akito with a Figure 4 Leg Lock Cutback (23:25).
The spring edition of Beer Garden ended with Yuki Ueno getting a lucky break against Akito. Ueno’s legs were targeted again and Akito put him in a Figure 4 Leg Lock. Extra damage was done when Danshoku Dieno gave Shunma Katsumata the Danshoku Driver on top of Ueno’s chest while he was still in the hold. However when Akito grabbed Ueno by the arm to apply more pressure, Ueno pulled himself up and rolled on top of Akito, pinning his shoulders on the mat for the three count. Akito didn’t mind losing though. He knows his plan of weakening Ueno with limb work match after match is working. He said at Korakuen Hall he was going to poison him and this is what he meant!
In an upset Tomomitsu Matsunaga pinned Yuki Iino! A lot of the tag match had Iino spend time fighting Jun Akiyama and when it came to facing Matsunaga he wasn’t having any trouble. That was until Matsunaga dodged a Lariat and trapped Iino in a Crucifix Pin for the victory. Akiyama praised Matsunaga for the veteran like move because beating a champion is always a big deal no matter how it is done. Iino was mad at the result but Tetsuya Endo got him to calm down. They will get their revenge at the KO-D Tag Team Titles match on 7th April. Matsunaga overheard them playing down the result and took offence. He wants every match to matter and the Tag Titles should not belong to anyone who thinks otherwise.
The D GENERATIONS CUP final on 7th April will be between Rukiya and To-y. Rukiya beat Munetatsu Nakamura to get there while To-y had to get past Ilusion. Rukiya said he will definitely win to prove he is DDT’s strongest young wrestler. To-y promised he will show everyone just how much he has evolved in order to go even higher.
Things went a little bit weird for the match with Furitsuke Kamen in it. Kazuki Hirata is supposed to be the only one in DDT who dances and took offence to Kamen showing up. So for the match he wore black eyeliner to intimidate his opponents (I think he might have been doing Genki Horiguchi’s heel poses too) while Antonio Honda carried a giant inflatable stag beetle to the ring, holding it hostage because Endo loves collecting beetles. Kamen wanted to pause the match so he could lead everyone to a dance but Hirata grabbed him from behind and pulled his mask off. Honda put it on and declared himself to be Chin Chin Mask. When the Gongitsune spot backfired Kamen got his mask back and Endo pinned Honda with the Torture Rack Bomb. After the match Honda learned his lesson and said insects are not tools for conflict. Kamen then got all of the wrestlers to dance with him.
Match #2 had some outside brawling going on with Hideki Okatani and KANON as the focal point even though MJ Paul drove a van into Chris Brookes & Kazusada Higuchi. Back in the ring Daisuke Sasaki tried to give Higuchi the Nenbutsu Power Bomb as used by Jinsei Shinzaki but Brookes stopped him by making him drink beer until Higuchi could regain his senses and do a Back Body Drop counter. Then Paul made Brookes drink the beer. After all of this happened the focus returned to Okatani against KANON and Okatani won with a Sliding Lariat. That didn’t stop the two of them from still fighting each other after the match. When they were pulled apart Okatani made a promise to beat KANON with the Quetzalcoatl. KANON mocked him and said the reason why DDT isn’t promoting the King Of DDT stipulation for their upcoming singles match is because the company doesn’t have high expectations that Okatani will win!

The card has been changed around a little bit to add Tomomitsu Matsunaga into the same match as Jun Akiyama since the two of them will be challenging for the KO-D Tag Team Titles soon. One half of the champs Yuki Iino gets to test them out as a team first.
The opening match is also changed from a 6-Man Tag to a 3 Way Tag. Chris Brookes wasn’t booked on the show yet so he gets added here while MJ Paul is relegated from being in the match to standing at ringside for DAMNATION T.A. That’s a bit weird but okay.

The Hardcore Match for the DDT Extreme Title gets previewed here when Shunma Katsumata and Hi69 collide in tag team action. Hi69 is bringing along Yasu Urano to form a team straight out of the old K-DOJO days. Katsumata will be teaming with Ilusion. The masked wrestler is gradually getting booked more by DDT which is good to see. This will be a good challenge for him.
The fighting between Hideki Okatani and KANON during the first night of Beer Garden did not stop after their match was over. When they were finally pulled apart Okatani demanded KANON to fight him in a singles match. When the match was confirmed to go ahead, Okatani then went on Twitter and challenged KANON to put his King Of DDT spot on the line. If Okatani wins he takes KANON’s place in the tournament. In return Okatani has an idea for a punishment in mind for himself should he lose. He hasn’t said what it is yet but KANON is intrigued enough to risk gambling his tournament spot away.

The GCW Vs Tokyo Joshi Pro full match lineup is here and… uh… yeah… There is an audience out there that’s into this card. I’m not part of it outside of the main event. Maybe the other two top matches as well if everybody involved all click together on the day. I’ll have a preview for the show written up along with one for “TJPW LIVE IN PHILLY” a little after next week. I’ve already written most of it already because so much is happening at the end of March and the start of April.
DDT “APRIL FOOL 2024”, 07/04/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. No Gamble FINAL!: Sanshiro Takagi, Akito & Toru Owashi Vs X
2. D GENERATIONS CUP 2024 – Final: X Vs X
3. Special Single Match: Shinya Aoki Vs Chihiro Hashimoto
4. DDT Extreme Title – Hardcore Match: Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Hi69
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino (c) Vs Jun Akiyama & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
6. Dramatic Dream Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & MAO Vs Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes
The reason why Matsunaga was chosen by Akiyama to be his partner is because of his work ethic behind the scenes. Matsunaga only wrestles part-time in DDT nowadays, usually as a substitute for someone who can’t be at the show for whatever reason. However he keeps himself in shape and is always ring ready when he does get called up as a replacement. Akiyama appreciates that and wants to see if that work ethic can be converted into a championship win for them.
DDT “SPOILER FREE SHOW VOL. 1”, 21/04/2024
Kanagawa Tsurumi Fruit & Vegetable Market
1. Different Martial Arts Special Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku Vs Akito Nishigaki & Hayabucha
2. 1 Vs 2 Special Handicap Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda
3. Special Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno & Rukiya Vs Yuki Iino & Takeshi Masada
The gimmick for this show is that no information about what happens is allowed to be posted online until after midnight. That won’t be much of a problem for me because where I am I just have to wait until after 4pm local time to start looking up the results. That’s not out of the ordinary for me with the regular show results and reports.
A forbidden in-ring reunion for Danshoku Dieno and Yuki Iino. The two former members of Pheromones will face each other for the first time since the unit’s split back in October of last year.
DDT’s top wrestler of the moment Yuki Ueno has to fight both Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda by himself. Is that really much of a challenge for him though?
Four different athletic backgrounds clash in a “martial arts” tag match. Tetsuya Endo represents rhythmic gymnastics, Yuya Koroku is junior high amateur wrestling, Akito is high school amateur wrestling and HARASHIMA goes back to his college club student pro wrestling roots by becoming Hayabucha again. At least I assume it’s going to be HARASHIMA under the mask here.

DDT “SPRING BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING – DAY 1”, 21/03/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
311 Fans
1. D GENERATIONS CUP 2024 – Round 1: Ilusion defeated Yuni with a Modified Dragon Sleeper (8:32).
2. D GENERATIONS CUP 2024 – Round 1: To-y defeated Tsubasa Suzuki with the Kojima Impact (5:07).
3. D GENERATIONS CUP 2024 – Round 1: Munetatsu Nakamura defeated Kazuma Sumi with a Modified German Suplex (6:50).
4. D GENERATIONS CUP 2024 – Round 1: Rukiya defeated Yuya Koroku with the Proto Bomb (9:12).
5. Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul defeated HARASHIMA, Yukio Naya & Hideki Okatani when KANON submitted Okatani with the Ground Cobra Twist (8:47).
6. Tetsuya Endo & Yuki Iino defeated Yoshitatsu & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Iino pinned Matsunaga with the Spear (10:53).
7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada defeated Danshoku Dieno, Yoshihiko & Pokotan when Brookes pinned Pokotan with a School Boy (17:19).
8. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata defeated Akito, Kazusada Higuchi & Kazuki Hirata when Ueno pinned Hirata with the WR (19:22).
As the build begins towards the next KO-D Openweight Title match, Akito believes his mindset behind the preview tag matches is different from Yuki Ueno’s. Sure these kind of matches are done to create buzz and help the wrestlers get into their best condition for the big match. But here Akito is using these matches to try and break Ueno down. He aims to focus on picking Ueno apart limb by limb if he wants any chance of winning the title on26th April. That plan is not off to a good start though. Ueno got the win today and is feeling pretty good about it.
A lot of the semi-main event was spent outside the ring because the two teams decided it was now Falls Count Anywhere. During the brawl Takeshi Masada reversed a van over Yoshihiko and kept the vehicle parked on top of it. Danshoku Dieno filled up an inflatable mini pool at ringside with water, alcohol and any other liquid he could find. He then gave Masada a Back Body Drop into the pool. Yoshihiko returned from underneath the van and did a balcony dive onto SCHADENFREUDE International. After getting soaked in water, Antonio Honda tripped down some steps. Chris Brookes then ended the match by pinning Pokotan next to the steps. SCHADENFREUDE celebrated by taking away Pokotan’s head.
Tomomitsu Matsunaga stepped in as a last minute replacement for Makoto Oishi after Oishi injured his neck yesterday. Although Matsunaga dropped the fall and lost the match against BURNING, his efforts did not go unnoticed. Jun Akiyama decided that Matsunaga will be his partner when he challenges BURNING for the KO-D Tag Team Titles on 7th April! Akiyama later explained Matsunaga does so much good work behind the scenes and keeps himself in good shape for the few times he gets to wrestle. If BURNING defeats those two then they might have to worry about Yoshitatsu next. He is also putting the word out that he wants to win KO-D Tag Titles.
Some beer drinking was done by the wrestlers in Match #5 leading to some different situations. Daisuke Sasaki offered HARASHIMA a beer and then attacked him. They fought out in the crowd where HARASHIMA could get a drink after all. They both got back into the ring with Yukio Naya and MJ Paul for a Sumo contest. KANON used the Cobra Twist to roll Hideki Okatani’s shoulders down on the canvas to pin him for the three count. The two kept fighting after the match and had to be pulled apart. Okatani was still mad so he challenged KANON to a singles match.
The opening round of the D GENERATIONS CUP filled up the first half of the show. Ilusion defeated Yuni by submission in the latest match of their rivalry, To-y beat the intern Tsubasa Suzuki, the Ganbare☆Pro rookie Munetatsu Nakamura eliminated Kazuma Sumi and Rukiya scored an upset win over Yuya Koroku. The semi finals on 26th March will be Ilusion Vs To-y and Nakamura Vs Rukiya.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2024 TOUR IN SHINJUKU”, 06/03/2024
Shinjuku FACE
303 Fans – No Vacancy
1. To-y & Yuni defeated Chris Brookes & Ilusion when To-y pinned Ilusion with the Kojima Impact (7:58).
2. Special Tag Match: Makoto Oishi & Shishamo Power defeated Yoshitatsu & Antonio Honda when Power pinned Honda with the Shishamo Of Yamada (9:17).
3. Kazuki Hirata Debut 14th Anniversary Vol. 1 ~ Are You Serious!? Seal Your Opponent’s Technique Death Match!!: Kazuki Hirata defeated Danshoku Dieno by Disqualification (9:29).
4. Jun Akiyama, Kazusada Higuchi & Soma Takao defeated Daisuke Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul when Higuchi pinned Paul with the Brain Claw Press (10:56).
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ DDT Vs AJPW: Ryuki Honda, Yuma Anzai & Ryo Inoue defeated Tetsuya Endo, Yuki Iino & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Honda pinned Matsunaga with the Final Vent (17:51).
6. Road To Judgement 2024! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata defeated HARASHIMA, Takeshi Masada & Hideki Okatani by Referee Stoppage when Ueno used the Dojime Sleeper Hold on HARASHIMA (18:31).
It turns out getting back to good condition again isn’t worth much when that energy can get choked out of you afterwards. Yuki Ueno scored a major fall over HARASHIMA by strangling him with the Dojime Sleeper Hold until the main event was stopped by the referee. The finish came when Ueno countered the Somato by catching HARASHIMA mid-sprint and spinning it into the Sleeper. MAO and Takeshi Masada also got time to wrestle each other while Shunma Katsumata dug some skewers into Hideki Okatani’s head. MAO talked about how strong The 37KAMIINA are after the win. He thinks Masada is better off being an influencer on social media instead of a wrestler. The DDT Universal Title MAO carries also holds the last three years of his hardships so Masada won’t take the belt from him so easily. Katsumata wanted to call out Okatani but admitted he doesn’t really have anything to say to him. Ueno said everyone in DDT is proud of HARASHIMA’s greatness but he does not want DDT to turn 180 degrees in the other direction if HARASHIMA wins the KO-D Openweight Title from him. The 37KAMIINA don’t want to remain the same and as champions they will continue to make DDT more interesting.
In the warm-up for the KO-D Tag Team Titles match coming up later this month, the All Japan team beat the DDT team. New Period along with Ryo Inoue on their side defeated BURNING and Tomomitsu Matsunaga (in as a last minute substitute for Rukiya). Ryuki Honda got to choke his opponents on the ropes and count along with the referee’s five second warning. He and Yuma Anzai also taunted Yuki Iino by making fun of BURNING whenever the opportunity allowed them to. Iino’s temper got the best of him and he ended up accidentally hitting Tetsuya Endo with a missed attack. New Period turned their attention to Matsunaga but Anzai still found spots to give Endo a German Suplex and then hit Iino with a Jumping Knee. With them out of the way, Honda was free to pin Matsunaga with the Final Vent. New Period celebrated a complete victory for AJPW over DDT and said the same result will happen on 17th March when they become the new KO-D Tag Champions! Iino told them they are not BURNING, he and Endo is. Endo promised to win because the titles are proof he is part of the best tag team in DDT.
A special rule was applied via lottery for Kazuki Hirata’s match against Danshoku Dieno. There were seven different options hidden in envelopes and the one chosen before the show began forced the wrestlers to seal their own techniques for the match. That means Hirata was prohibited from dancing while Dieno was not allowed to do anything “Danshoku” like. It made both of them trying to break old habits while tempting each other to fall for their own tricks. Makoto Oishi walked out to Hirata’s music wearing Hirata’s entrance robe, tempting Hirata around ringside to dance with him. Yukinori Matsui got caught in the action. He was knocked out after taking the Tegatana strike to the neck from Hirata and the Lip Lock from Dieno, both by mistake. Without the referee around, Hirata took out his GO! glasses and Dieno behaved like his old self. Matsui woke up to see Dieno dry humping his opponent and called for the bell to disqualfy him. Dieno said the result doesn’t mean much as a preview for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match because he wasn’t pinned or submitted. Meanwhile Hirata only learned afterwards that if Zuncha♪Muscle Survivor loses the title match on 17th March then they will disband. However when he heard that Naruki Doi came up with the stipulation, he thought it meant that Doi values the unit so much he is willing to put it all on the line to win the titles! Hirata is now motivated to put in 200% effort so he, Doi & Shinya Aoki can become the new champions and stick together as a team.
The return of the seafood loving pro wrestler Shishamo Power went from a happy story to a sad one when Oishi turned on him after their match. For you see, Oishi hates seafood and thinks chicken is much tastier! He continued to attack Power until Chris Brookes entered the ring. Brookes then joined in the attack because he hates seafood too! Suddenly Unagi Mask made his return to DDT in order to rescue his fellow masked ally. The two agreed to team up for an all out battle against the chicken meat lovers at the DDT show sponsored by Yamada Suisan on 14th April.
A press conference was held for Katsumata and Okatani before the show began. Katsumata announced the DDT Extreme Title bout on 17th March is going to be a Painful Jungle Death Match! Each corner of the ring is going to have something attached to it in order to make it more painful when wrestlers are thrown into it. With all four corners covered like this as well as death match weapons being placed around the canvas it will turn the ring into a jungle! Katsumata did not reveal what any of the weapons or material are and teased everyone to use their imagination. Okatani promised the match will be a hot and bloody battle even though he can’t figure out what Katsumata has up his sleeve.

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

110 Fans – No Vacancy
1. Hideki Okatani & Toi Kojima defeated Yusuke Okada & Kazuma Sumi when Okatani pinned Sumi with the Double Arm Suplex (10:34).
2. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno defeated Akito & Hiroshi Yamato when Iino submitted Akito after the 2AW Death Lock (10:55).
3. ONLY WE x DDT Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & KANON defeated Akira Raijin & Tomomitsu Raijin when Sasaki submitted Raijin with the Crossface Lock (10:59).
4. ONLY WE x DDT Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ishida & Quiet Storm defeated Chris Brookes, RSP & Takeshi Masada when Higuchi pinned Masada with the Doctor Bomb (10:45).
5. The 37KAMIINA Vs BURNING!: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Shunma Katsumata defeated Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku when Ueno pinned Koroku with the BME (14:13).
6. ONLY WE x DDT Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Yukio Naya defeated Yuji Hino & Makoto Oishi when HARASHIMA pinned Oishi with the Somato (16:18).
DDT’s collaborations with ONLY WE are turning more and more into Ω tributes as time goes by. It continued here with Yuji Hino & Makoto Oishi losing in the main event and blaming the loss on Shiori Asahi not being there with them. Hino said he wants to revive the entire original Ω unit by the end of the year. He also told Yukio Naya to go and win the D-Ou Grand Prix final tomorrow. HARASHIMA was just happy to be there and win like he always is.
There was less PERON GRANDES action on the show than planned because Shogun Okamoto didn’t want to come home from America in time to be here. Tomomitsu Matsunaga took his place and renamed himself Tomomitsu Raijin so he could fit in better with Akira Raijin. He even had facepaint and writings across his body. But no matter how much of a heel he tried to be, he could not out-heel DAMNATION T.A and ended up losing the match.
