July 1, 2023

DDT “DDT YOKOHAMA UNLIMITED SPECIAL”, 01/07/2023
Yokohama Radiant Hall
219 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated Yusuke Okada & Kazuma Sumi when Sasaki pinned Sumi with the Diving Elbow Drop (7:37).
2. Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari defeated Akito, MAO & Antonio Honda when Iino pinned Akito after the Fight Ippatsu Spear (10:07).
3. Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida defeated Saki Akai & Yuya Koroku when Ishida pinned Akai with the Dosukoi Hold (9:36).
4. BURNING Vs DISASTER BOX!: Tetsuya Endo & Jun Akiyama defeated Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Akiyama pinned Hirata with the Jumping Knee Butt (0:06).
4a. Rematch: Tetsuya Endo & Jun Akiyama defeated Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Endo pinned Hirata with a Cradle (8:46).
5. Special Hardcore Tag Match: Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani defeated Atsushi Onita & Toy Kojima when Sakaguchi pinned Kojima with the God’s Right Knee with the Chair (12:02).
6. Special Tag Match: Yuji Hino & Makoto Oishi defeated HARASHIMA & Soma Takao when Hino pinned Takao with the Fuckin’ BOMB (14:16).
7. International Special Tag Match: Nick Wayne & Takeshi Masada defeated Yuki Ueno & Yuni when Wayne pinned Yuni with the Wayne’s World (15:55).

Nick Wayne has touched down in DDT and was given the spotlight in the main event along with other young wrestlers in the company. The average age in today’s main event was 20 years old (Yuki Ueno is 27, Yuni is 15, Wayne is 17 and Takeshi Masada is 21). Wayne beat Yuni with his version of the Springboard Cutter called the Wayne’s World. He now hopes to do the same to Ueno in their singles match next week.

Chris Brookes approached the ring after Match #6 to have a stare down with Yuji Hino. Nothing physical took place because according to Hino a tall, handsome amateur like Brookes is not even worth throwing a Chop at. He previously called the tag match on 7th July Brookes’ retirement match but today he joked it is going to be more like Brookes’ professional debut. Hino’s behaviour has reached the point where Makoto Oishi can’t tell if he is praising Brookes or trying to humiliate him.

A Hardcore Tag Match pitting Eruption against Atsushi Onita & Toy Kojima brought a more firey side out of Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani. Onita was thrown into a barbed wire board in the corner and Okatani attacked Kojima with chairs. Onita blinded fought back giving Sakaguchi the Poison Mist followed by a Piledriver through a table. Sakaguchi recovered and used a chair assisted God’s Right Knee to pin Kojima for the three count.

After the match Onita asked Sanshiro Takagi if Jun Akiyama will answer his challenge for an exploding death match at Ota Ward Gymnasium on 9th September. Takagi told him he never got a response from Akiyama. Sakaguchi then told Onita that the All Asia Tag Team Title belt once belonged to his father Seiji Sakaguchi. He can’t continue letting Onita carry it around. Onita agreed to give Sakaguchi a title shot as long as it is in an exploding death match! Takagi endorsed the idea and is now trying to get permission to do the title match in Osaka on 20th August.

Becoming a champion has not changed Kazuki Hirata one bit. He was immediately pinned by Akiyama in his tag match and also dropped the fall to Tetsuya Endo in an immediate rematch. Hirata is trying to convince himself he is in perfect condition because how else would you suffer a perfect defeat like that?

The Dosukoi Hold used by Yuki Ishida has claimed another Eruption victim. This time Saki Akai was pinned with the move. Ishida thinks the hold is now creating the Dosukoi Movement, granting Harimao enough momentum for their upcoming KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles defence against Eruption to make them unstoppable.

Akito placed a bounty on each member of Pheromones for today’s match. Beating Yuki Iino is worth 100,000 yen, beating Yumehito Imanari is worth 50,000 yen and beating Danshoku Dieno is worth 10,000 yen. The reward motiviated MAO at first but he was quickly driven to ignore fighting Dieno because he literally wasn’t worth it. Pheromones took advantage by trying to brainwash MAO to join their side but Akito snapped him out of it by shouting “Money!” at him over and over. His plan ended up failing anyway because Pheromones picked up the win over him.

Takagi’s injury means he has to pull out of Yukinori Matsui’s big show this weekend. Yuto Kikuchi from Dotonbori Pro is coming in as a last minute replacement for him.

DDT “DDT TANABATA SPECIAL 2023 IN SHINJUKU”, 07/07/2023

The aftermath of the KO-D Tag Team Titles match over the weekend sees Toy Kojima looking for revenge against DAMNATION T.A. He is aiming right for the leader by challenging Daisuke Sasaki to a singles match! Does he have something in store because charging straight towards Sasaki and his gang hasn’t worked out for him much lately. There’s only so many chairshots his body can take.

DDT “ROAD TO PETER PAN 2023 IN AOMORI”, 15/07/2023

6. Special Tag Match: Yuji Hino & Makoto Oishi Vs Chris Brookes & Kazusada Higuchi

Hideki Okatani has gradually been finding his footing in hardcore matches so he is a suitable replacement for Takagi in the Falls Count Anywhere match.

An upset that saw Yuki Ishida pin Yukio Sakaguchi results in a singles match between the two getting booked. Ishida used his new Dokusoi Hold to score a three count on the veteran. Is Sakaguchi going to be prepared for it the next time?

DDT “60TH BIRTHDAY & 20TH ANNIVERSARY ALL TOGETHER! ~ GORGEOUS NIGHT”, 16/07/2023
Fukushima Toyota Crown Arena Sub Arena

1. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & KANON Vs Yusuke Okada, Toy Kojima & Yuya Koroku
2. 3 Way Match: Yuki “Sexy” Iino Vs Akito Vs Kazuma Sumi
3. Kazuki Hirata & Yuni Vs Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani
4. BURNING Vs Harimao!: Tetsuya Endo & Jun Akiyama Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida
5. Special Tag Match: Yuji Hino & Makoto Oishi Vs Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada
6. Fukushima Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Gorgeous Matsuno, HARASHIMA & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Toru Owashi, Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda

This is unexpected. Takagi’s replacement in the Fukushima main event is Danshoku Dieno! Since it is an important match for Gorgeous Matsuno, Dieno is not going to be “Dandy” on the day. Granted there’s not much difference between regular Dieno and Pheromones Dieno but it’s still a nice gesture from the guy.

BASARA “BASARA 225 ~SENGUNBANBA~”, 23/07/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Isami Kodaka Vs SHO
2. IRON FIST Tag Team Titles Unification Match: Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino (c) Vs Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita (i/c)
3. Union MAX Title & CCW Canadian Heavyweight Title: Takumi Tsukamoto (M/c) Vs SAGAT (C/c)

A double championship match headlines BASARA’s return to Korakuen Hall next month. SAGAT won the Chouten ~Itadaki~ and challenged Takumi Tsukamoto for the Union MAX Title afterwards. That’s not all because SAGAT also offered to defend the CCW Canadian Heavyweight Title he won from Tsukamoto back in March.

Masato Kamino is fit for return from his knee injury so he & Takato Nakano can go reclaim the IRON FIST Tag Team Titles. They are still technically the champions but Kamino’s injury caused an interim title to be created in his absence. Daiki Shimomura & Minoru Fujita from Sento Minzoku won that prize but would prefer to be acknowledged as the actual champions. That all leads to the unification match happening at Korakuen.

BASARA takes on New Japan when Isami Kodaka faces SHO! Interactions between the two at “ALL STAR JR FESTIVAL 2023” earlier this year weren’t forgotten by either wrestler so the challenge was thrown out for a singles match. Kodaka even told SHO he would be happy to fight under normal rules instead of Hardcore or a death match. His reason for that decision is to prove he does not need to use weapons to beat SHO. Can SHO truthfully say the same given his reputation as a House Of Torture member? A lot of pride is on the line because Kodaka sees himself as a big figure on the independent scene facing the challenge of New Japan head on.

Nothing has been decided on this yet but Ryota Nakatsu said he wants to team with Ryuichi Sekine again on the show. They used to be together in BASARA as Cavalry. However Nakatsu just wants this to be a one time reunion. He is still a member of Sparky, although that unit is about to begin winding down. Nakatsu eventually wants all four members of Sparky to get together again so they can send it off and go their seperate ways. That won’t be happening anytime soon because of Naoki Tanizaki and Akiyori Takizawa’s schedules so that gives Nakatsu the chance to reunite with Sekine in the meantime.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 17/08/2023
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Pom Harajuku Vs Mahiro Kiryu
2. Saki Akai, Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo Vs HIMAWARI, Toga & Shino Suzuki
3. Mizuki Vs Aiger
4. Debut 10th Anniversary Memorial Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Shoko Nakajima

17th August, 2013 was the date when Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima had their professional debut match on the pre-show of a DDT Sumo Hall show. They teamed together in a losing effort against the two other first generation TJPW wrestlers Chikage Kiba & KANNA. It’s perfect timing that the next “TJPW INSPIRATION” show is booked on the 10 year anniversary of that match. The main event will be Yamashita against Nakajima one on one for the first time since “GRAND PRINCESS ’22”.

Saki Akai will also be on the show because the 10th anniversary of her own debut pro wrestling match is one day off. Her first DDT bout happened the next day. Now there’s a bit of trivia that will catch people off guard. Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima and Saki Akai all debuted on the same weekend. And Akai debuted AFTER the other two.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2023” Results

June 25, 2023

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2023”, 25/06/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
755 Fans

0. Dark Match: Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Toru Owashi & Yuni Vs Akito, Soma Takao, Kazuma Sumi & Rukiya ended in a No Contest (5:44).
1. Special Single Match: Naruki Doi defeated Takeshi Masada with a Cradle (7:04).
2. Ryota Nakatsu, Yuki Ishida, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku defeated Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai, Hideki Okatani & Sanshiro Takagi when Ishida pinned Sakaguchi with the Dosukoi Hold (9:22).
3. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Minoru Fujita by Disqualification after Fujita attacked the Referee (7:31).
4. International Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo defeated Nick Wayne with the Burning Star Press (13:44).
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuji Hino, Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Masahiro Takanashi & Antonio Honda when Hino submitted Honda with the King Kong Sleeper (13:23).
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima when Sasaki submitted Kojima with the Crossface Lock (15:29).
*DAMNATION T.A becomes the 77th KO-D Tag Team Champions!
7. DDT Extreme Title – 3 Way Dance: Kazuki Hirata defeated MAO and Yoshihiko (21:25).
7a. MAO and Kazuki Hirata eliminated Yoshihiko with a Double Reincarnation Cutback (17:36).
7b. Kazuki Hirata eliminated MAO with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (21:25).
*Kazuki Hirata becomes the 58th DDT Extreme Champion!

Believe it or not Kazuki Hirata is now a singles champion! For weeks leading up to the 3 Way Dance, everybody including Hirata himself expected him to be taken out of the picture very quickly so MAO and Yoshihiko would fight each other over the vacant DDT Extreme Title. Instead Hirata persisted against his two opponents. He and MAO used their combined power to roll over from Yoshihiko’s Reincarnation and together pin the doll to eliminate it from the match. MAO took control of the match but none of his big moves could work. Hirata ended up countering the Michinoku Driver II into the Miracle One Shot Cradle to pull off the shock of all shocks. He is now the new Extreme Champion!

Hirata now finds himself in a position he never thought about previously. As a champion he now gets to nominate his challengers. Hisaya Imabayashi asked him who he wants to face in his first defence on 30th July. Hirata said there is a lot of people he wants to fight and he gets to pick the rules that will make him beat them too. So his first opponent is his DISASTER BOX stablemate HARASHIMA! He admits he can never beat HARASHIMA in a regular head-to-head fight but he can come up with funny rules that will even the odds. HARASHIMA accepted the challenge because he is a mutltiple time Extreme Champion and has fought in many different kinds of matches over the years.

Poor Toy Kojima suffered so much abuse at the hands of DAMNATION T.A and unfortunately it was all for nothing. The vacant KO-D Tag Team Titles were on the line when Kojima & Yuki Ueno represented The 37KAMIINA against Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul. Ueno & Kojima used their new double team move the My MADMAX on Sasaki but Paul broke up the pin. Then when Kojima used the Kojima In Wonderland on Sasaki, the injured KANON ran down to the ring armed with a stungun! The referee Tomomitsu Matsunaga ran over to stop KANON from entering the ring and missed Sasaki giving two Low Blows to Kojima. Sasaki stayed on the offensive and made Kojima tap to the Crossface Lock to make DAMNATION T.A the new Tag Champions. Backstage Sasaki said Kojima must never forget this day because today is the day he experienced absolute despair and humiliation! Now that DAMNATION T.A is back to full force, they are going to make the second half of 2023 crazy for everybody. Sasaki also said if Ueno, Kojima or anybody else wants to do something about it they are always welcome to join DAMNATION T.A.

Jun Akiyama found a way to fit in with Ω by wearing their shirt along with a bandana and sunglasses. The fun and games for Yuji Hino sort of stopped when Antonio Honda tried standing up to him on behalf of his friend Chris Brookes. The match then moved on to Hino and Kazusada Higuchi squaring off again while Makoto Oishi dealt with Masahiro Takanashi. Honda tagged in ready for his moment when he tripped over the ropes and fell like he always does. But instead of telling a Gongitsune joke, Honda asked himself why does he always fall down? He figured out it’s to get back up! If his best friend Brookes goes back to England, he will get back up. If he gets injured, he will get back up. He will always get back up because he is chasing his dream! A fired up Honda then poked Hino in the eyes and knocked him down with the Bionic Elbow for a nearfall. Unfortunately Hino recovered and countered the Octopus Hold into the King Kong Sleeper to make Honda give up.

After the match Ω called for Brookes’ attention while Honda was being tended to outside the ring. Oishi lambasted him for taking it easy while Hino’s been working hard in the ring week after week. How can Brookes become the KO-D Openweight Champion when all of Hino’s hard work has made him reach his perfect condition? Hino calmed Oishi down and asked Brookes when he can start wrestling again? Brookes said 7th July. Hino said that is a long way off so he is going to make sure that date will become Brookes’ retirement match! Backstage Brookes admits he is feeling guilty over not being able to wrestle because of his injury. He promised to do his best when he returns as his way of showing thanks for everyone who fought for him while he’s been out of action.

Nick Wayne was thrown into the deep end for his Japanese DDT debut when he took on Tetsuya Endo. The young American went for impactful moves like the Poison Hurricanrana and Dragon Suplex. But Endo hit back with the Tetsuya In The Sky and also caught him in mid-air to set up the Swivel Torture Rack Bomb. Wayne kicked out of both moves but became a sitting duck for the Burning Star Press. Endo thinks Wayne will absorb the Japanese way of wrestling during his stay here and it will expand his range. It makes Endo look forward to having a rematch some day. One he thinks he will still win of course. Wayne told reporters he is very inspired by the wrestlers in DDT and being in the same environment makes him feel like he can give 100% every match.

The match between HARASHIMA and Minoru Fujita started off awkwardly when Fujita refused to shake his opponent’s hand and instead give him the HERO! pose. He then accepted HARASHIMA’s handshake but only so he could cheap shot him afterwards. Fujita continued fighting dirty by using the ropes for pin leverage and bringing a chair into the ring. He threw the chair at HARASHIMA right when he was setting up the Somato. Then he gave Yukinori Matsui a Low Blow to purposely get disqualified. Fujita also gave HARASHIMA a Low Blow before doing another HERO! pose and leaving.

In a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match preview, Harimao scored a big win over Eruption with an unlikely result. Yuki Ishida ended up pinning Yukio Sakaguchi! He used a move that looks similar to a backwards Gannosuke Clutch to get the three count. He told Ryota Nakatsu that he used “Dokusoi” spirit to beat Sakaguchi so the two of them agreed to call the move the Dosukoi Hold. The move is based on a sumo technique so you can bet Ishida wants to use it again at Sumo Hall. However Sakaguchi wants him to know today’s result isn’t the end of their story so he shouldn’t be getting carried away. Saki Akai was interested to fight Nakatsu for the first time today because they are both from Kyoto. Unfortunately for Sanshiro Takagi, his time in the ring today didn’t last long. According to a tweet he posted after the show he tore a muscle in his leg during the match.

Naruki Doi was the latest big name opponent for the super rookie Takeshi Masada to face one on one. Masada did quite well and looked to be on his way towards scoring a huge upset. But Doi countered the Samurai Driver ’01 into a Cradle to win instead.

Strange bedfellows were put together for the dark match because Toru Owashi & Yuni had to team with Pheromones. Usually the likes of them would be their opponents. We found out the reason why because Akito wanted to ruin Yuni’s reputation by getting pictures of him doing lewd stuff with Pheromones in the ring! Imabayashi told Akito off because creating a scandal like that would harm CyberFight too. Still when Yuki Iino & Danshoku Dieno stacked themselves in the corner with their backsides exposed, Akito tried to force Yuni head first into there. It didn’t matter to him if Kazuma Sumi & Rukiya had to suffer the same fate. Just when Akito looked like he was going to succeed, Imabayashi cancelled the match. Akito went out of control throwing more wrestlers into butts until Soma Takao stopped him. Akito then invited Takao to help him destroy Pheromones. Takao tried not to listen but was eventually convinced to join Akito’s side.

The injured Shunma Katsumata was at ringside for the final two matches. He had to vacate both the Extreme Title and KO-D Tag Title due to a foot injury. He told the fans it will be a while until he gets back to wrestling again but he is currently feeling fine with his recovery.

Also making an appearance today was Yukio Naya. He came here to announce his return match from injury will be “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2023” on 23rd July! He’s been recovering from a fractured right ankle since the end of March. His goal once he returns is to reach the top of DDT in the shortest amount of time possible.

Shota was at the show during the opening announcements. He was there to promote Ganbare☆Pro’s big event “WRESTLE SEKIGAHARA II” at Ota Ward Gymnasium on 9th July.

DDT will also be going to Ota Ward this Autumn. They announced “DDT BIG BANG 2023” will take place there on 9th September. Another announcement regarding the event will be revealed tomorrow.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2023 TOUR IN SAPPORO DAY 2” Results

June 18, 2023

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2023 TOUR IN SAPPORO DAY 2”, 18/06/2023
Sapporo ii-one Stadium
304 Fans

1. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated Hideki Okatani & Kazuma Sumi when Paul pinned Sumi with a Running Body Press (9:33).
2. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Yukio Sakaguchi ended in a No Contest (7:24).
3. Akito & Sanae Takebayashi defeated Kazuki Hirata & Saki Akai when Akito submitted Hirata with an Ankle Lock (10:20).
4. Special Single Match: Andreza Giant Panda defeated Pokotan with the Andreza Press (6:04).
5. Sapporo Specialty Special Tag Match: Yuji Hino & Tomoya defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida when Hino submitted Ishida with the King Kong Sleeper (13:30).
6. Jun Akiyama & Noriyuki Yoshida defeated HARASHIMA & Takeshi Masada when Akiyama pinned Masada with the Exploder Suplex (12:13).
7. BURNING Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Yuki Ueno, MAO & Toy Kojima defeated Tetsuya Endo, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku when Ueno pinned Koroku with the WR (18:39).

Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima successfully pulled off the My MADMAX on the way to winning today’s main event. The move itself did not score the win though. Ueno picked up Yuya Koroku afterwards to pin him with the WR. He then promoted the 25th June Korakuen Hall show to the Sapporo crowd where he, Kojima & MAO will all be fighting to win championships. Backstage Kojima said he is confident he & Ueno will win the KO-D Tag Team Titles while MAO will win the DDT Extreme Title.

Noriyuki Yoshida talked to Jun Akiyama backstage after their match and told him he wants to join BURNING. Akiyama decided to let him in as part of BURNING’s Hokkaido branch. DDT will be back in Sapporo this October so we’ll likely see Yoshida on those shows teaming with BURNING again.

The growing bad blood between Pokotan and Andreza Giant Panda led to a violent finish to their match. An Uppercut from Andreza knocked Pokotan’s head off! Andreza followed up with a big Headbutt followed by the Andreza Press to finish off the mascot. Andreza held Pokotan’s decapitated head while placing one foot on top of the body for the pinfall.

When Akito put Kazuki Hirata in the Ankle Lock, Hirata quickly tapped out. Somehow he thinks the speed of his tapping shows how great shape he’s in for the Extreme Title match. Sanae Takebayashi said she was happy to wrestle in DDT for the first time and would like to appear on their shows more often if given the chance. Akito said he liked seeing Saki Akai wrestle more women in DDT and hopes she will wrestle many more matches until her retirement later in the year.

Sanshiro Takagi had good news for everyone today. Pheromones are going to break up because there is no way they can beat him & Yukio Sakaguchi! The two of them took Yuki Iino out of action during the match, leaving Danshoku Dieno to fight them by himself. Sakaguchi put Dieno in a Sleeper Hold and Takagi placed a microphone up to Dieno’s face to force him into saying Pheromones are breaking up. Iino returned for the rescue and then trapped Takagi to force him into saying DDT is breaking up! Sakaguchi stopped them by shoving a penlight up Iino’s backside. Big mistake. Iino pulled it out and stuck the penlight into Sakaguchi’s mouth, causing him to faint. Iino then tried to strip naked causing the match to get called off.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2023 TOUR IN SAPPORO DAY 1” Results

June 17, 2023

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2023 TOUR IN SAPPORO DAY 1”, 17/06/2023
Sapporo ii-one Stadium
210 Fans

1. Hideki Okatani defeated Yuki Ishida with the Double Arm Suplex (8:46).
2. 2 Vs 3 Handicap Match: Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno defeated Yusuke Okada, Kazuma Sumi & Rukiya when Iino submitted Rukiya after the Boys Be Ambitious (10:49).
3. Special Tag Match: Andreza Giant Panda & Saki Akai defeated Akito & Kazuki Hirata by TKO after Akito knocked out Akito with an Accidental Elbow Strike (0:19).
3a. Rematch: Andreza Giant Panda & Saki Akai defeated Akito & Kazuki Hirata when Akai pinned Hirata with the Quetzalcoatl (9:59).
4. Sapporo Specialty Special 8-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama, Yuya Koroku & Noriyuki Yoshida defeated Sanshiro Takagi, HARASHIMA, Tomoya & Makoto Oishi when Endo pinned Oishi with the Burning Star Press (14:35).
5. DAMNATION T.A Vs The 37KAMIINA!: MAO & Toy Kojima defeated Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul when Kojima pinned Paul with a School Boy (14:30).
6. Special Tag Match: Yuji Hino & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Takeshi Masada when Hino pinned Masada with the Fuckin’ BOMB (14:33).

It’s possible that Yuji Hino needed a day like today. All he had to do was focus on his match and not worry about Chris Brookes in any way, shape or form. The result of this was Hino scoring the pin and feeling very happy with how hot the atmosphere was in the building. He joked with Makoto Oishi that Sapporo is where it snows in the summer so it couldn’t possibly be this hot today. But it is! Yukio Sakaguchi added to the tension by gesturing towards Kazusada Higuchi and his KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title belt after the match. He simply warned him that Eruption will take the titles from Harimao at Sumo Hall.

The latest drama between Toy Kojima and DAMNATION T.A continued the chair based beatings on The 37KAMIINA wrestler. However today he got a win over his enemies thanks to some help from MAO. Things went pear shaped when MAO missed the Whirlwind Kick and hit the referee Tomomitsu Matsunaga by accident. Sasaki hit Kojima with a chair until Kojima was able to defend himself and block the attack. Kojima then rolled over MJ Paul with a School Boy to get the 3 count from a recovered Matsunaga. DAMNATION T.A attacked Kojima again after the match but when they left, a defiant Kojima told the fans he and Yuki Ueno will win the vacant KO-D Tag Team Titles at Korakuen Hall! However Sasaki backstage called today’s result a miracle. One that will never happen again.

Obviously whenever Andreza Giant Panda appears it is very noticeable. It was even more so here when fans could see Andreza’s head sticking out behind the entrance curtain before he even made his entrance. He ended up getting stuck and his match began without him. Kazuki Hirata grabbed Saki Akai and Akito threw an Elbow Strike at her. She ducked and Hirata accidentally knocked out Hirata with his elbow. Akai was angry over how the match went and purposely revived Hirata to restart it, entrances and all. Andreza was still stuck behind the stage by the way. The match restarted and Akai made sure it wouldn’t suddenly end with Hirata getting knocked out again. Akito & Hirata got Andreza to chase them around ringside but it was to lure him into a trap. With the help of Underwear Sanshiro (a Sanshiro Takagi impersonator wearing underwear instead of wrestling trunks), Andreza was trapped inside two dollies leaving Akai having to fight Akito & Hirata by herself. Akai was able to fight off her opponents, free Andreza and go on to win the match as a team.

After the match Pokotan suddenly appeared and grabbed the microphone. He said he and Chiitan are now called the Chi-Poko Alliance and they will beat Andreza & Super Sasadango Machine to a pulp at Sumo Hall on 23rd July! But first Pokotan will face Andreza in a singles match tomorrow. He promised a fair fight and shook Andreza’s paw. Pokotan then gave him a Low Blow and a Stunner but Andreza shook it off and Headbutted Pokotan in retaliation!

DDT announced their next doubleshot at Sapporo ii-one Stadium will be on 14th and 15th October.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2023 TOUR IN HAKODATE” Results

June 16, 2023

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2023 TOUR IN HAKODATE”, 16/06/2023
Hakodate City General Wholesale Center Distribution Hall
212 Fans

1. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno defeated Akito & Kazuma Sumi when Iino submitted Sumi after the Sexy Shampoo (11:30).
2. SILVER QUEEN Infomercial Match: MAO & Yoshihiko defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Kazuki Hirata when Yoshihiko pinned Hirata with the Reincarnation (11:39).
-. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Yoshihiko (c) with a School Boy (7:42 pm).
*Sanshiro Takagi becomes the 1,572nd champion.
3. HARASHIMA & Hideki Okatani defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Yuya Koroku when HARASHIMA pinned Koroku with the Somato (12:38).
4. Hakodate Specialty Special Single Match: Yuki Ishida defeated Akinori Ariji with the Flame Palm (6:57).
5. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated Toy Kojima & Rukiya when Sasaki submitted Rukiya with the Crossface Lock (8:16).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yusuke Okada defeated Yuji Hino, Makoto Oishi & Yukio Sakaguchi when Okada pinned Oishi with the Sudden Death (16:34).

One of the company trucks containing the ring canvas, aprons and turnbuckle pads never made it to the arena so the first half of the show took place on a partially constructed ring. The ring itself was stable but with no canvas that meant everyone was fighting on top of the bare wooden boards. DDT got in touch with one of Hokkaido’s local wrestling promotions Donan Pro Wrestling (ran by former Dragon Gate wrestler Katsuo) to rent out the missing equipment they needed. Donan Ring’s crew were able to arrive after Match #3 and intermission was spent completing construction of the ring.

DAMNATION T.A again attacked Toy Kojima with chairs during their match. Kojima had the chance to fight fire with fire when he grabbed hold of a chair but he chose to fight fairly instead. That didn’t work and MJ Paul attacked him with more chairs outside the ring while Daisuke Sasaki submitted Rukiya with the Crossface Lock.

Just when it looked like Yoshihiko had all the momentum going into the 3 Way DDT Extreme Title match, Sanshiro Takagi takes the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title away from it! Yoshihiko won a tag match by pinning Kazuki Hirata and then had to fight off MAO afterwards. Takagi saw an opening and pinned Yoshihiko with a School Boy to win the title. He said backstage that the value of the title stalled with Yoshihiko as champion. So Takagi put it upon himself to make it shine. He is ready to defend it against anyone (or anything) at anytime!

Then news of Sakazaki’s injury came out so Mizuki is now teaming with Emi Sakura. Those two teaming together again is newsworthy by itself.

This weekend’s show has a couple of firsts. It is the first main event match for HIMAWARI. It’s the first time Hyper Misao & Yoshiko Hasegawa are teaming together. It is also Runa Okubo’s first singles match of her career.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2023”, 25/06/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Yuki “Sexy” Iino, Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Toru Owashi & Yuni Vs Akito, Soma Takao, Kazuma Sumi & Rukiya
1. Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai, Hideki Okatani & Sanshiro Takagi Vs Ryota Nakatsu, Yuki Ishida, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku
2. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuji Hino, Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Masahiro Takanashi & Antonio Honda

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima
7. DDT Extreme Title – Survival 3 Way Match: MAO Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Yoshihiko

A third party wants to fight MAO and Kazuki Hirata over the vacant DDT Extreme Title! A few days ago Yoshihiko pinned both of them at the same time and believes it now qualifies to be part of the title match. A 3 Way Match was suggested and MAO liked the idea because he wants to fight Yoshihiko more often. They all agreed to make it under elimination rules because everybody expects Hirata will get immediately pinned. Since the match is headlining the show it would be a waste to set up a 3 Way only for it to end so quickly. All three wrestlers are happy with the decision. Yoshihiko gets to fight for a championship, MAO gets to fight Yoshihiko again and Hirata gets to be in the main event even if might only for a few seconds!

The 37KAMIINA are getting prepared for the vacant KO-D Tag Team Titles match. When Shunma Katsumata was having his surgery, he came up with a new tag team finishing move for Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima to use. Every duo combination in The 37KAMIINA so far has their own version of the MADMAX finisher. This one is called the My MADMAX because Katsumata thought of it by himself. They all held a training session together along with Rukiya being used as the crash test dummy. After a few practice tries, the My MADMAX was discovered to be a Spike Air Raid Crash. They all believe the move is easier to use on Daisuke Sasaki. However if they can pull it off on MJ Paul then it will be even more damaging to an opponent his size.

Honda already said his piece defending Brookes against Hino. Now he has to step in the ring and meet Hino face to face with the help of Higuchi & Masahiro Takanashi. They need the help because Hino & Makoto Oishi have Jun Akiyama on their side!

The match order other than the main event and dark match has not been determined yet.

GANBARE☆PRO “GHOST HUNTERS 2023”, 30/06/2023

Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Special Hardcore Tag Match: Atsushi Onita & Toy Kojima Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani
2. International Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Yuni Vs Nick Wayne & Takeshi Masada

Katsumata came up with another idea to help Kojima grow. He’s making Kojima team with Atsushi Onita for a Hardcore Tag Match against Eruption! Katsumata would team with Kojima himself but while he is out injured, he thinks Onita is more than a suitable replacement to do something crazy.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2023 TOUR IN ASAKUSA” Results

June 13, 2023

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2023 TOUR IN ASAKUSA”, 13/06/2023
Tokyo Asakusa Hanayashi Theater
233 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Daisuke Sasaki defeated Kazuma Sumi with the Crossface Lock (7:27).
2. No Tag Rules: Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno defeated Toru Owashi & Antonio Honda when Iino pinned Honda with the Ketsugoye (9:35).
3. Asakusa Specialty Special Tag Match: Yoshihiko & Kazuki Hirata defeated Yuki Ueno & MAO when Yoshihiko pinned MAO with the Reincarnation (10:21).
4. Sanshiro Takagi & Akito defeated Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku when Sanshiro Takagi pinned Koroku with the Stone Cold Stunner (8:42).
5. Kazusada Higuchi, Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida defeated Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Rukiya when Ishida pinned Rukiya with the Flame Palm (13:06).
6. Special Single Match: MJ Paul defeated Toy Kojima by Disqualification when Kojima attacked Paul with a Chair (10:03).
7. Yuji Hino, HARASHIMA & Makoto Oishi defeated Yukio Sakaguchi, Masahiro Takanashi & Hideki Okatani when Hino submitted Takanashi with the King Kong Sleeper (13:24).

After several shows of complaints, Yuji Hino suddenly found himself changing his mind about Chris Brookes thanks to Antonio Honda. When the main event was finished, Honda entered the ring and gave Hino a heartfelt speech explaining why Brookes deserves to fight him for the KO-D Openweight Title on 23rd July. By the time he was done, Hino was moved to tears.

Yuki Ishida blamed his recent illness that kept him from wrestling over not having enough Dosukoi spirit. So today he made sure to wrestle with extra Dosukoi within him.

A gullible Yuya Koroku was tricked by Sanshiro Takagi & Akito when they offered him a bribe to team with them instead of Tetsuya Endo. He took their word only for Takagi to give him a Stunner, pin him and reveal there is no bribe. After the match Endo was so mad by Koroku’s betrayal he kicked him out of BURNING! However he decided he would change his mind if Koroku did a funny dance in the ring for the fans. Koroku did what he was told and it cheered Endo up, saving Koroku’s spot in the group.

Toy Kojima has snapped! For several shows in a row DAMNATION T.A have been cheating and attacking him in violent ways. Today was Kojima’s breaking point after Daisuke Sasaki interfered in his match against MJ Paul. The cheating caused Yuki Ueno to go after him to even the odds but Sasaki gave him a Low Blow. Kojima saw that and lost his temper, attacking both DAMNATION T.A members with a chair. The referee tried to settle him down but Ueno threw him out of the way, getting disqualified in the process. Ueno was then able to calm him down after the match. Kojima said all DAMNATION T.A does is cheat so he wants to take them down at Korakuen Hall on 25th June. Ueno agreed and told Kojima he is now unleashed. He approves of him fighting back this way because it comes from the heart. They have to give it everything they’ve got otherwise they won’t win. Ueno promised not to let DAMNATION T.A become the next KO-D Tag Team Champions. However Sasaki warned that if this is Kojima’s true intention then he will kill him 200 million times more!

There is a twist in the story between Kazuki Hirata and MAO because a new fighter has entered the fray. Their tag match today had a reward on the line. If Hirata or MAO won then they would get to choose the stipulation for their DDT Extreme Title match on 25th June. Instead Yoshihiko scored the pinfall on both of them at the same time (even though Hirata was its tag partner). Hirata and MAO began arguing with Hisaya Imabayashi over how to determine who picks the stipulation when Yoshihiko offered a suggestion to the GM. It wants to be added to the match and make it a 3 Way! Hirata liked the idea because it is more exciting than a singles match. MAO wanted to alter it slightly and make it a Survival 3 Way because it would be a waste of a match when Hirata loses immediately. Everyone agreed. Not only that but Imabayashi surprised everyone by telling them it will now be the main event! So MAO gets to fight Yoshihiko again and Hirata gets to headline a Korakuen show even if he only lasts a few seconds. Everybody wins!

Ueno unexpectedly threw out a “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2023” challenge during his backstage interview by telling reporters he wants another singles match against Konosuke Takeshita! They’ve already had two singles matches this year, once for a 10 minute exhibition and another for DDT’s show in Los Angeles. He heard Takeshita recently changed his behavior over in AEW. Regardless of what side between good and bad Takeshita now stands in, he is still a member of The 37KAMIINA and Ueno wants to wrestle him in Sumo Hall on 23rd July.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2023 TOUR IN MATSUYAMA” Results

June 11, 2023

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2023 TOUR IN MATSUYAMA”, 11/06/2023
Ehime Matsuyama City Comprehensive Community Center Exhibition Hall
216 Fans – No Vacancy

1. 2 Vs 3 Handicap Match: Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno defeated Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Rukiya when Iino pinned Hirata with a School Boy (0:14).
1a. Rematch – No Tag Rules: Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno defeated Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Rukiya when Iino submitted Rukiya after the Dedicated To You 2 Months After Your Debut (0:14).
2. Special Tag Match: Akito & Char defeated Yusuke Okada & Tsuruhimeka when Akito pinned Okada after a Missile Dropkick from Char (14:36).
3. Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Takeshi Masada when Sasaki submitted Masada with a Reverse Figure 4 Leg Lock (12:47).
4. Matsuyama Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi (w/ Cutie Elly The Ehime), Imabari Taoru Mascaras & Tsutenkakka defeated HARASHIMA, Saki Akai & Kazuma Sumi when Takagi pinned Sumi with the Lift-Up Spicolli Driver (14:36).
5. Ω Vs Eruption!: Yuji Hino & Makoto Oishi defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani when Hino submitted Okatani with the King Kong Sleeper (12:55).
6. BURNING Vs The 37KAMIINA!: MAO, Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima defeated Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku when Kojima pinned Koroku with the Kojima In Wonderland ~KOJIMA Wonderland~ (20:22).

Weeks of taking beatings from more experienced opponents is starting to pay off for Toy Kojima. Eager to show his worth, he went toe to toe against Jun Akiyama again, even agreeing to fight him outside the ring. MAO & Yuki Ueno did what they could to keep Akiyama & Tetsuya Endo at bay so Kojima could fight Yuya Koroku. The two of them went back and forth until Kojima did his Wrist-Clutch version of the Kojima In Wonderland for the victory. After the match The 37KAMIINA all promoted the 25th June Korakuen Hall show where they intend to win the KO-D Tag Team Titles and DDT Extreme Title together.

For the second show in a row Yuji Hino complained about Chris Brookes disclocating his shoulder during the build up to their KO-D Openweight Title match. He repeated yesterday’s realization that Brookes gets to rest at home while he has to wrestle these matches and hurt his body week after week. Hino asked if Brookes even qualifies for a title shot at this point? It makes him so mad that he promised to turn the title bout on 23rd July into Brookes’ retirement match!

There was bad news for Sanshiro Takagi today when his dodgy shoulder started acting up again. The good news is one of his tag partners Tsutenkakka is a qualified osteopath so he was able to get it fixed in time for the match! The other wrestlers from Ehime Pro played their part too. Imabari Taoru Mascaras used his lucha while Cutie Elly The Ehime used her feminine wiles to distract the opposition. Takagi praised the work Ehime Pro has been doing to attract a loyal and passionate fanbase in Matsuyama. He hopes that Ehime Pro will support DDT again when DDT comes back on a regular basis.

Ehime Pro was also featured on the second match with local joshi wrestlers Char and Tsuruhimeka taking part. Char even played into the finish by hitting Yusuke Okada with a Missile Dropkick, knocking him into Akito’s Sunset Flip style pin for the victory. Akito was impressed by the efforts Char and Tsuruhimeka gave out there and said it lit a fire under him. Okada said he would love to see DDT and Ehime Pro work together for a show in Tokyo some day.

Rukiya was so excited to be wrestling in Ehime for the first time but it was spoiled when Kazuki Hirata was immediately pinned after he dropped his Hirata GO! Glasses. He convinced everybody to restart the match and he would tell Hirata when to put his glasses on. When he did, Hirata started to dance and ignored Pheromones beating Rukiya into submission.

Yuji Hino had some harsh words for the missing Chris Brookes after the main event, accusing him of not being strong because he dislocated his shoulder. Kazusada Higuchi and HARASHIMA disagreed and both defended Brookes for being absent. Higuchi told Hino that Brookes will take the KO-D Openweight Title from him and HARASHIMA said Brookes never disappoints the fans. Their opinions made Hino realise that he himself is busy fighting and getting hurt while his challenger is currently resting. Could Hino be going into his big KO-D Title defence at a disadvantage?

DAMNATION T.A are getting annoyed by Toy Kojima’s persistence. No matter how much of a beating they give him in and outside the ring he still tries to fight them. After today’s match Sasaki decided he’s now going to try and break Kojima before 25th June so the vacant KO-D Tag Team Titles match will be turned into a 2 Vs 1 Handicap bout! If Sasaki & MJ Paul get their way, Kojima will never get to stand inside Korakuen Hall ever again!

Speaking of persistence. Kazuki Hirata said he was in great shape today and still got beaten up by Toru Owashi & “brother” YASSHI. Their match also featured Naruki Doi, making it heavily Toryumon flavored. After the match Doi told the fans that the “Dragon” genes are scattered throughout various wrestling promotions.

Hirata claims he is preparing something crazy if he gets to choose the stipulation for the DDT Extreme Title match against MAO. All he said is it will be something outrageous. Meanwhile MAO once again threatened to kick Hirata to death.

The odds were against Akito today but he pulled off the upset by beating Pheromones in a Handicap Match! He was originally supposed to have a team of his own outnumbering Yuki Iino & Danshoku Dieno but changes due to illnesses left Akito having to fight them by himself. Pheromones did their usual acts of humiliation but Akito countered the Cross Ass Sexy Lock Ass into a Kangaroo Clutch to pin Iino for the three count. Akito said DDT is wondering if he really is serious in trying to take down Pheromones? He’ll show the company he is by beating them and forcing them to disband on 23rd July in Sumo Hall!

Saki Akai was given an award by the president of the show’s sponsor Maikon no Kohara. The prize for the award was a year’s worth of Maikon NMN vitamins.
