*V? for Miyu Yamashita.

4. Christmas Special 5 Big Single Match: Yuu defeated Maki Itoh with the Katahajime (9:03).

6. Christmas Special 5 Big Single Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Mizuki with a Modified Roll Up Facelock (8:51).
7. Christmas Special 5 Big Single Match: Reika Saiki Vs Yuka Sakazaki ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).

Five singles matches were determined by a draw in the lead up to this show. In the main event Reika Saiki and Yuka Sakazaki fought to a time limit draw. This is the second time this month that Sakazaki has been in a time limit draw. After the match both of them argued over who was winning before the time ran out. Saiki said it’s her because she is the TOKYO Princess Champion. Sakazaki said it should be her because she is the TOKYO Princess Tag Team Champion and that comes with two belts and a friend. Saiki just gets one belt and has to be alone. They both stopped arguing because it is Christmas so they invited the rest of the roster out to celebrate the holiday.

In the other Christmas matches, Shoko Nakajima defeated Mizuki in a preview of their Tag Title match at Korakuen Hall on 3rd January. Yuu defeated Maki Itoh, Rika Tatsumi beat Nodoka-oneesan and Miyu Yamashita successfully defended the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title against Marika Kobashi.

When Hyper Misao learned that Azusa Takigawa had been transformed into Azusa Christie by Saki-sama, she made it her mission to turn Azusa back to normal. Misao brought out an issue of Zexy Magazine and tried to remind Azusa of who she used to be. With a cold stare Azusa kicked Misao, grabbed the magazine and threw it away. Azusa & Saki-sama proceeded to beat Misao & Maho Kurone. They used the elevated Codebreaker double team move on Misao to win. That move is now called the Pas de Deux.

Yuki Kamifuku brought out a copy of her brand new gravure DVD that was released the day before this show. However the referee told her to get rid of it because he thought she was going to use it as a foreign object.

Maki Itoh’s new CD will be released at the Korakuen Hall show. She is confident it will sell at least 1,000 copies in a day. She is determined to outpass AKB48.

The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) appeared showing off their wrestling gear in public for the first time. They were also shown what their debut match will be on 3rd January. It is Hinano & Miu Vs Hikari & Raku in a tag team match. Raku said everyone in the group is a rival but they are also her friends so she will fight fair and square. Hikari promised to become stronger in time for the match. Hinano is happy to team with Miu because she thinks they are the two most physically fit girls in the group. Miu promised to do her best.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “I TIGHTEN MY HELMET AND LEAVE FOR KORAKUEN” Results

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “I TIGHTEN MY HELMET AND LEAVE FOR KORAKUEN”, 10/12/2017
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
279 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuki Kamifuku with the Dragon Sleeper (8:49).
2. Nonoko & Yuna Manase defeated Yuu & Hyper Misao when Nonoko pinned Misao with the Boinmaker (15:29).
3. Yuka Sakazaki Vs Mizuki ended in a Time Limit Draw (15:00).
4. Saki-sama & Azusa Christie defeated Shoko Nakajima & Marika Kobashi when Christie pinned Kobashi with Christie Agape (14:06).
5. Reika Saiki & Maho Kurone defeated Miyu Yamashita & Nodoka-oneesan when Saiki pinned Nodoka with the Jackhammer (16:01).

This is the last stop before Tokyo Joshi Pro returns to Korakuen Hall on 4th January. Reika Saiki and Miyu Yamashita gave each other a taste of what’s to come in their double title main event. But today, Saiki got the upper hand with some help from Maho Kurone. Yamashita was taken out by Kurone’s Ouroboros. That gave Saiki the opportunity to beat Nodoka-oneesan with a Back Drop, the Shining Wizard and the Jackhammer. Saiki told Yamashita afterwards that it is fun to fight her and it will be fun to beat her in Korakuen. Yamashita didn’t respond. She also refused to shake Saiki’s hand before leaving the ring.

Azusa Takigawa has appeared for the first time since she was kidnapped by Saki-sama and Yukio Saint Laurent. She is now Sister Azusa Christie, Saki-sama’s nun. Azusa explained that Saki-sama changed everything that was weak about her and transformed her into Azusa Christie. According to the Book Of Genesis in The Bible, God created mankind in his own image. For Azusa, God is Saki-sama. The new Azusa was calm and collected during her tag team match against Shoko Nakajima & Marika Kobashi. Azusa & Saki-sama got rid of Nakajima with an Elevated Codebreaker. Azusa then gave Kobashi the Christie Agape (Skull Crushing Finale) to earn her first victory. After the match Nonoko and Yuna Manase entered the ring. Nonoko was stunned to see what Azusa had turned into. As she was trying to speak, Azusa raised her bible and threatened to hit Nonoko with it. Nonoko told her they do not hit people with books ever since they were told not to by Zexy Magazine. Azusa ignored her and knocked Nonoko out with the bible. Saki-sama then challenged the Super Milk Combination to a match at Korakuen Hall.

The Yuka Sakazaki Vs Mizuki match ended in a time limit draw. Sakazaki targeted Mizuki’s foot and that saved Sakazaki from defeat during the final moments. Mizuki rolled her into the Cutie Special but could not hold on to the pin because of her damaged foot. She still risked it by hitting a Diving Foot Stomp afterwards but Sakazaki kicked out and the time expired. After the match Mizuki revealed who she will be teaming with when she faces the Miracle Apricots for the TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles. It’s Mizuki’s best friend Riho! When Riho introduced herself, Sakazaki asked if this meant she was the newest member of the Ito Respect Army. Mizuki immediately said no and tried to change the subject. Shoko Nakajima said she is looking forward to fighting Riho because it is an opportunity to “conquer” Thailand (Gatoh Move’s home base) and from there, eventually the world!

Earlier in the week Nonoko announced her plans to graduate from Tokyo Joshi Pro. Today was her first match since her announcement and the other girls in the match protested the news. Hyper Misao and Yuu carried protest signs and asked Nonoko to reconsider. Nonoko loved the attention but grew annoyed at Misao’s constant chanting so she attacked her to start the match.

The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) were told that they will all be involved in a tag team match against each other for their debuts on 4th January. Hikari, Hinano, Raku and Miu all said how enthusiastic they are to wrestle soon.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SMILE YES SHINJUKU” Results

November 23, 2017

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SMILE YES SHINJUKU”, 23/11/2017
Shinjuku FACE
432 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Maho Kurone defeated Yuki Kamifuku with the Ouroboros (6:07).
2. Maki Itoh & Mizuki defeated Nodoka-oneesan & Marika Kobashi when Mizuki pinned Nodoka with a Diving Foot Stomp (12:15).
3. Hyper Misao Return Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Hyper Misao with a Figure Four Leglock (10:29).
4. Saki-sama defeated Azusa Takigawa with the Two Step Face Kick (9:43).
5. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title Next Challenger & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Miyu Yamashita defeated Yuu (c) with the Crash Rabbit Heat (13:00).
*Miyu Yamashita becomes the 1,276th champion.
6. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Shoko Nakajima (c) defeated Nonoko & Yuna Manase when Nakajima pinned Nonoko with a Diving Senton (17:02).
*V1 for Miraclians.

The combined size advantage of the Super Milk Combination was not enough to beat the Miraclians. They came close when they hit the W Oppai Ye on Shoko Nakajima but Yuka Sakazaki was there to make the save. From there the Apricots took over and wore down the challengers until Sakazaki got rid of Yuna Manase. Nakajima gave Nonoko a DDT and then won the match with a Diving Senton. The Apricots celebrated their first defence of the TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles until the Itoh Respect Army came down to the ring. Maki Itoh said even though she already has a match planned for 4th January she still wants Mizuki to get a tag title match on the same show. Itoh claims that there are many members in the Itoh Respect Army and one of them will be Mizuki’s partner on 4th January.

Two prizes were on the line in the match between Yuu and Miyu Yamashita. The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title and, more importantly, a spot in the main event TOKYO Princess Title match at Korakuen Hall on 4th January. Yuu bruised Yamashita’s chests with Chops and threw her around the ring. In return Yamashita kicked back with all that she had. The High Kicks took their toll and soon Yuu was defeated by the Crash Rabbit Heat. Yamashita wins the Iron Man Title and also goes on to face Reika Saiki for the Princess Title! It’s been a year and a half since she last held the Princess Title. She cannot wait to win it back. She also has to defend the Iron Man Title against Kazuki Hirata in DDT on 1st December. It will be the dance battle between Genghis Khan and TOKYO GO!

Saki-sama continues to pick on the weakest girls in Tokyo Joshi Pro. Today Azusa Takigawa tried to stand up to her but was beaten with the Two Step Face Kick. Saki said the match was truly inappropriate from beginning to end. But she was willing to show mercy because there is some beauty in Takigawa. She offered Takigawa to join her side. Takigawa refused because she is chasing her dream and Saki-sama’s obsession with beauty does not fit with that goal. Saki didn’t care what Takigawa said, her offer would not be refused. Suddenly Yukio Saint Laurent appeared and he approached Takigawa. She tried to fight him off but Laurent injected a syringe into her neck, knocking her out. He and Saki-sama left the ring with Takigawa being carried over his shoulder. Saki promised that Takigawa will become a fine lady under her supervision. She reckons we will see the new Takigawa at the next Shin-Kiba 1st RING show.

Hyper Misao had her first match in over 10 and a half months, returning from a long absence after getting reconstructive surgery on her right ACL. She reintroduced herself as the hero to protect love and peace in Tokyo Joshi. She asked Rika Tatsumi to team up with her but Tatsumi turned her down. Misao put up a fight when she was put in a Figure Four Leg Lock but eventually gave up when Tatsumi used the move a second time. Misao said afterwards that she will not give up looking for a tag team partner. But until she finds one she will also focus on becoming a stronger singles wrestler.

After the Ito Respect Corps won their match, Ito demanded a Princess Tag Title shot for 4th January. She was interrupted by Sanshiro Takagi. He has another idea that he thinks is more suitable for Ito. On 4th January Maki Itoh will face Danshoku Dino one on one! Takagi thinks it is the perfect match to determine how far Itoh has advanced since she became a pro wrestler. Itoh accepts the match. She thinks she is so cute that fighting Dino will awaken his love for women. She will then use her cuteness to crush Dino! Mizuki expressed disappointment because she wanted to team with Itoh at the show. Itoh promised to talk it over with her later.

Yuki Kamifuku tried to get over her fears of wrestling a zombie but her inexperience was her downfall. Maho Kurone didn’t have much trouble wrestling her and even got a few bites in too.

The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) unit introduced themselves to the audience at the start of the show. Hikari said she discovered wrestling when she was in junior high and wants to dedicate everything in her young life to take part in it. Hinano has nine years of training in judo and sambo. She wants to win a championship within one year of her debut. Raku will turn 20 years old on 5th December and is greeting her last days as a teenager with a smile. Miu is trying her best to be both an idol and a pro wrestler.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SMILE YES SHINKIBA” Results

November 3, 2017

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SMILE YES SHINKIBA”, 03/11/2017
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
291 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Shoko Nakajima defeated Yuki Kamifuku with the Northern Lights Suplex (8:40).
2. Yuu & Marika Kobashi defeated Miyu Yamashita & Maki Ito when Yuu submitted Kobashi with the Katahajime (9:54).
3. Azusa Takigawa defeated Nodoka-oneesan with a Thrust Kick (9:20).
4. Saki-sama defeated Mizuki with the Modified Foot Choke (10:30).
5. Nonoko & Yuna Manase defeated Yuka Sakazaki & Maho Kurone when Manase pinned Kurone with the W Oppai Ye ().
6. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Reika Saiki (c) defeated Rika Tatsumi with the Jackhammer (15:27).
*V2 for Reika Saiki.

Reika Saiki had an answer for all of Rika Tatsumi’s offence. Saiki’s win came when she countered the Hip Attack into a Back Drop. From there Saiki hit the Shining Wizard and the Jackhammer to earn her second successful defence of the TOKYO Princess Title. Saiki announced her next defence will be at Korakuen Hall on 4th January. Miyu Yamashita came out to challenge her but Yuu came out too to do the same. Yamashita and Yuu agreed to fight each other with the winner getting the title shot against Saiki at Korakuen.

The Super Milk Combination are off to a good start by beating one half of the TOKYO Princess Tag Team Champions. Part of their entrance includes a haka style dance. The W Oppai Ye is a tag team finisher where Nonoko & Yuna Manase sandwich the victim with two Body Attacks. Manase was impressed that she and Nonoko won a match without fighting each other. They are now confident they will win the tag titles on 23rd November.

After Saki-sama beat Mizuki she was challenged to a match by Azusa Takigawa. She earned her first win today but beating just anybody in Tokyo Joshi Pro isn’t enough. She must beat Saki-sama to prove herself! Saki admitted she doesn’t remember getting involved with Takigawa last month. That’s how little she means to her. If Saki-sama is a diamond, Takigawa is a stone on the roadside. If Saki-sama is the moon, Takigawa is a turtle. If Saki-sama is Vince McMahon running the WWE, Takigawa is Tetsuya Koda eating rice on his own with a key holder. She accepts the challenge and the match will take place on 23rd November.

Both Azusa Takigawa and Nodoka-oneesan were taking today’s match seriously. Neither wanted to be seen as the weakest wrestler in Tokyo Joshi. Nodoka even revealed she was wearing training gear under her usual costume. But Takigawa proved to be more determined and she pinned Nodoka with a Thrust Kick to win her first ever singles match.

Sanshiro Takagi appeared to announce the next set of debuts for Tokyo Joshi. Earlier this year DDT and the Up Up Girls idol group set up auditions for an Up Up Girls wrestling unit. Four girls passed the audition and will have their debut matches at Korakuen Hall on 4th January. The girls are Miu (18 years old, Saitama), Raku (19 years old, Tokyo), Hikari (19 years old, Hokkaido) and Hinano (19 years old, Tokyo).

1. 3 Way Match: Yasu Urano defeated Mad Polly and Mizuki Watase when Urano pinned Watase with a Cradle (7:18).
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Cherry defeated Gota Ihashi & Kouki Iwasaki when Hiroshi pinned Ihashi with the Perfect Plex (8:20).

5. Infomercial Match – Up Up Girls Nippon Budokan Great Battle: Sanshiro Takagi, Guanchulo & Nobuhiro Shimatani defeated Makoto Oishi, Shunma Katsumata & MAO when Takagi pinned Oishi with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (8:01).
6. Yoshihiro Takayama, Toru Owashi & Kazusada Higuchi defeated KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masahiro Takanashi when Higuchi submitted Takanashi with the Canadian Backbreaker (11:17).
7. Special 3 Way Match: HARASHIMA & Akito defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Tetsuya Endo and Konosuke Takeshita & Antonio Honda when HARASHIMA pinned Honda with the Somato (16:02).

Before the main event began Antonio Honda had to hold Konosuke Takeshita away from Tetsuya Endo so they wouldn’t start fighting. They eventually did get their hands on each other during the match but others got in their way. Daisuke Sasaki hit Takeshita with a Tope Suicida. Endo then attached a collar around Takeshita’s neck and pulled him with a leash away from ringside. HARASHIMA wound up winning the match for his team but Takeshita returned to the ring furious at what Endo did to him. He tried to get after Endo but accidentaly hit Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi instead. When everyone calmed down HARASHIMA told DAMNATION he will settle their problems at Korakuen Hall when the KO-D Tag Team Titles are on the line.

The super heavyweight trio of Yoshihiro Takayama, Toru Owashi & Kazusada Higuchi went after Shuten-dōji’s smallest wrestler, Masahiro Takanashi. The strategy paid off. Once Higuchi got his hands on Takanashi and stretched him with the Canadian Backbreaker it was all over. Meanwhile Yukio Sakaguchi got into a strike and ground exchange with Yoshihiro Takayama that led to them fighting outside of the ring.

As part of the Infomerical Match, the Up Up Girls were in attendance to promote their upcoming concert in Budokan Hall. They invited NωA to play their song “Never Give Up☆I LOVE YOU” and the girls even joined in for the chorus. The girls also got involved in the match but only to chop Makoto Oishi in the chest while Sanshiro Takagi held him back. After the match the group performed their new song “!!!!!!!! (Bang Bang Bang)”. Takagi then invited them to perform at “DDT FES 2016”. Oishi asked if NωA could come too. Takagi said no.

Nobody was more happy to see Bad Comi win their match than KAI. He excitedly told Ken Ohka they should continue their momentum to win the Dramatic General Election. Amon Tsurumi yelled at them for campaigning for votes inside the ring which is against the rules.

The full list of entrants for the DNA Grand Prix was announced during intermission. Among the regular wrestlers there is also Royce Isaacs from Colorado, USA as the previously advertised mystery foreign wrestler and Yuki Uedo, a 21 year old from Osaka who is making his debut. Uedo was Takeshita’s classmate in high school.

DDT “UP UP DDT ~ UP UP GIRLS VS HETEROGENEOUS WRESTLING VOL. 2 ~ FACTORY LIVE WRESTLING”, 29/10/2014
Miyaji Iron Works
200 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

8-Man Tag Team Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Kazuki Hirata, Makoto Oishi & DJ Nira defeated Danshoku Dino, Antonio Honda, Seiya Morohashi & Gota Ihashi when Oishi pinned Ihashi after Mr. Pogo spat a Fireball at Ihashi (25:37).

Back in February DDT teamed up with the Up Up Girls and it was such a success they’ve done it again. This time it was held at the Miyaji Iron Works, a factory that has in the past been the location of several DDT Falls Count Anywhere matches. The Up Up Girls made their entrance on a forklift and performed some songs until Danshoku Dino, Antonio Honda, Seiya Morohashi & Gota Ihashi interrupted the performance. Dino protested that the factory should be silent and no music was allowed. Makoto Oishi came to the rescue and was joined by Sanshiro Takagi, Kazuki Hirata & DJ Nira. Naturally this turned into an 8-Man Tag Team match to begin there and then.

Everyone attacked each other with shovels filled with lime salt. Even the one of Up Up Girls got involved and aimed the salt at Dino. But Dino ducked everytime, resulting in Oishi and Takagi getting blinded by accident instead. DJ Nira did the most daring thing he’s ever done, Moonsaulting off of a vending machine. Takagi cycled into the brawl with his Combat Bicycle, running over Ihashi and Honda. Dino climbed up the forklift and used it to do an elevated Danshoku Nightmare on Oishi. Meanwhile Hirata started dancing with the Up Up Girls. The idols then threw water balloons at him. Dino gave Oishi the Danshoku Driver on the loading platform. Honda then put Oishi in the Octopus Hold. Oishi was on the verge of giving up but he fought out of it when the Up Up Girls sang to him. Dino grabbed Manami Arai and held her hostage on top of the forklift. Takagi and Nira tried to save her but they all got their heads shoved into Dino’s backside. Manami was about to suffer the same fate until she yelled for her “uncle” to come rescue her. Out came Mr. Pogo! The deathmatch legend saved Manami (they’re both from the same region) and then spat a fireball at Ihashi. Oishi rolled on top of Ihashi for the pin. The Up Up Girls thanked “Uncle Pogo” for his help. Takagi thanked him too and also called him uncle. Pogo told him “Do not call me Uncle, you bastard!”

1. KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi defeated Michael Nakazawa, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Gota Ihashi when KUDO pinned Ihashi with the Diving Double Knee Drop (10:12).
2. 3 Way Match: Antonio Honda defeated Daisuke Sasaki and MIKAMI when Honda pinned Sasaki with a German Suplex (7:57).
3. HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano defeated Toru Owashi & DJ Nira when HARASHIMA pinned Nira with a Cradle (8:00).
4. Infomercial Match: Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Ito Maki defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Kazuki Hirata & Saki Akai when Maki pinned Hirata with the Idol Clutch (10:24).

6. KO-D Openweight Title Challenger Tournament – Semi Final: Tetsuya Endo defeated Konosuke Takeshita with the Sky Twister Press (15:41).
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega (c) defeated Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao when Ibushi pinned Takao after the PK Mind (16:53).
*V6 for the Golden Lovers.

With Sumo Hall out of the way and Super Saitama Arena far off in the horizon it is back to business as usual for DDT. Fresh off of winning the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles, today Team Dream Futures went after the KO-D Tag Team Titles. But the Golden Lovers were not going to let go of their belts so easily. Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega secured another successful defence of the title when they pinned Soma Takao with the PK Mind. They now want to have their next defence at Korakuen Hall. In a backstage interview Kenny said the Golden Lovers are an S-Rank tag team. He his happy to be with Ibushi not just for the fans but for their friendship too. He even said if he was gay he would want to marry Ibushi. He asked Kota if he felt the same and Kota answered “Of course!”

The other highlights of the day centred around the KO-D Openweight Title No. 1 Contender tournament. Keisuke Ishii defeated Akito and Tetsuya Endo defeated Konosuke Takeshita to advance to the finals. The latter result is a surprise and shows that Endo is not to be overlooked when it comes to discussing about DDT’s future prospects. Ishii bragged about the statistics being in his favour for the final since nobody in this tournament has ever beaten him in a singles match. Endo told him he has the momentum and he will become KO-D Champion.

Retired All Japan whipping boy Nobutaka Araya was in attendance and even got involved in the Smile Squash Vs Toru Owashi & DJ Nira match. Nira gave him the Rocket Punch and HARASHIMA capitalised on the distraction to roll up Nira for the win. I’m not sure if they played Araya’s sad song for him after the match.

Up Up Girls singer Ito Maki wrestled in the Infomercial Match. Makoto Oishi was happy to team with her but their opponent Sanshiro Takagi claimed Saki Akai is the cuter idol. Maki had the last laugh when she spat Poison Mist into Kazuki Hirata’s face and, after Oishi’s Miracle Ecstasy, pinned him with the Idol Clutch.

Antonio Honda and Daisuke Sasaki both wrestled in bras during their 3-Way match with MIKAMI.

Zeus will come in to challenge Danshoku Dino for the DDT Extreme Title in Osaka on 13th September.

DDT “UP UP DDT ~ UP UP GIRLS VS HOMOIRO CLOVER Z VOL. 1”, 19/02/2014
Shinjuku FACE
512 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. KUDO defeated Akito with the Diving Double Knee Drop (5:20).
2. Kota Ibushi defeated Up Up Machine (w/ Up Up Girls & Shogun KY Mana) with the Sit Down Last Ride (7:39).
3. Makoto Oishi & Isami Kodaka defeated Danshoku Dino & Hiroshi Fukuda when Oishi pinned Fukuda after the Zan Isamu Leg from Kodaka (12:14).
– Bonus Match: Up Up Machine (Sanshiro Takagi) defeated Up Up Machine (Kazuki Hirata) with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (?:??).

DDT co-promoted a show with the Up Up Girls for a show that featured wrestling and musical performances. The event focused on the feud between the Up Up Girls and Homoiro Clover Z. The idols brought in some wrestlers to fight on their behalf. They were the mysterious Up Up Machine, Isami Kodaka and in a surprising betrayal Makoto Oishi! Danshoku Dino was shocked to learn that Oishi was a spy for the Up Up Girls all along! Hiroshi Fukuda stepped up to team with Dino to wrestle Kodaka & Oishi in the main event.

Kota Ibushi had to face the Up Up Machine, the secret weapon in a Strong Machine mask who was accompanied by the Up Up Girls. All of the girls except one also wore similar Super Strong Machine masks. The one who didn’t was dressed up as Shogun KY Wakamatsu. Some of the DDT fans in the audience quickly figured out Up Up Machine was Kazuki Hirata. The girls attacked Ibushi with paper fan whenever he was outside the ring but he was able to grab one of the fans and use it on Machine. Ibushi went on to beat Machine and Dino laughed at the loser afterwards.

Another Up Up Machine appeared after the main event to confront the first Machine. He ripped off the guy’s mask to reveal it was Kazuki Hirata and then challenged him to a match. During the match the new Machine was unmasked to reveal it was Sanshiro Takagi! Takagi beat Hirata and afterwards said he is so rejuvenated from the show that just happened he now feels like he is 20 years old. He hopes DDT and Up Up Girls will joint promote a show again some time.
