DDT “YOKOHAMA NIGHT SPLASH”, 05/07/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Single Match: KANON defeated MJ Paul with the Just Cobra Twist (7:50).
2. 5 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Akito Vs Naomi Yoshimura Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuya Koroku ended in a Time Limit Draw when the Earth’s destruction was averted (?:??).
3. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Kazuma Sumi defeated Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida when Ueno pinned Ishida with the Frog Splash (9:52).
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Hikaru Sato & Daichi Sato defeated Yuki Iino, To-y & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Akiyama pinned Matsunaga with the Exploder Suplex (12:23).
5. Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Naya defeated HARASHIMA & Soma Takao when Naya pinned Takao with The World’s Best Back Drop (12:13).
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion (c) defeated Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada when Ilusion pinned Honda with the Bombo Claat (21:17).
*V3 for DAMNATION T.A.

Chaos broke out for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles main event. Bunbun was left to hang upside down from one of the nearby banners in the room. Antonio Honda tried to beat Ilusion with the Tenzan Tombstone Driver but MJ Paul pulled the referee out of the ring to stop his pin count. That allowed DAMNATION T.A to attack SCHADENFREUDE International with chairs. Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani got rid of Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada, then hit Honda with the Claymore Kick and the Pedigree onto the chair. However Ilusion missed the Swanton Bomb and landed on the chair, allowing Honda to roll him up in the Japanese Leg Clutch Hold. Okatani just about broke the pin in time and Ilusion used his own Arm Clutch version of the move on Honda called the Bombo Claat to get the three count in the end. No new challengers stepped forward afterwards so Ilusion declared DAMNATION T.A as the forever champions!

Both Kazusada Higuchi and HARASHIMA signed the contract for their KO-D Openweight Title bout earlier in the show. During the signing Higuchi brought up all of the times he challenged HARASHIMA for the KO-D Title and lost. He believes successfully defending the KO-D Title against him will be his way of getting revenge. HARASHIMA said he wants to win the title to he can bring it with him for his homecoming show on 27th July. They then faced off in a tag match with Yukio Naya and Soma Takao also involved. HARASHIMA was able to hit Higuchi with the Somato at ringside but Naya ended up beating Takao in the ring. After the match HARASHIMA said he could feel Higuchi’s mental strength as well as his physical one.

Hikaru Sato has been hearing To-y’s claims about being a crazy wrestler so he wanted to give him an extreme test to prove it. Michael Nakazawa recently sent him bottles of laxatives from America so Hikaru and To-y agreed to drink a bottle each one hour before their match today took place. Their match also involved Jun Akiyama & Daichi Sato warming up against Yuki Iino for their upcoming KO-D Tag Team Titles bout. Akiyama & Daichi noticed To-y was holding it in so they purposely targeted his stomach while Hikaru was also showing signs of panic. Thankfully nothing disgusting was let loose in the ring and as soon as the match finished both Hikaru and To-y sprinted for the toilets while Iino and Daichi kept fighting each other. Then once things calmed down, Hikaru and To-y returned to the ring to pose over the DDT Extreme Title. Hikaru later said the match left him feeling refreshed because he and To-y fought their guts out. To-y promised to come up with a crazier rule for the title match and will keep the belt for when Shunma Katsumata returns from injury.

Apparently the 5 Way Match was all in Hisaya Imabayashi’s head. He dreamed about the impending destruction of the planet so everyone had to try and win the match before the world was doomed. Time ran out though and explosions could be heard throughout the room. Nothing happened after that and the wrestlers looked around in confusion. They noticed Imabayashi was sleeping at his desk and woke him up, learning that it was all a dream he was having.

July 5, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “I CAN’T WAIT UNTIL SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25!”, 05/07/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall
273 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 2: Wakana Uehara defeated Shino Suzuki with the Banana Pillow (6:57).
2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 2: Haru Kazashiro defeated Ivy Steele with the Fisherman Suplex (5:45).
3. Mahiro Kiryu, Toga & Chika Nanase defeated Arisu Endo, Uta Takami & Ren Konatsu when Toga pinned Konatsu with the Rock Bottom (9:29).
4. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami defeated HIMAWARI & Riara (c) when Hasegawa submitted Riara with the Muffler Hold (8:38).
*Yoshiko Hasegawa becomes the 1,751st champion.
5. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Mifu Ashida & Kira Summer when Aino pinned Summer with the Venus DDT (9:34).
6. Yuki Arai, Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Moka Miyamoto defeated Mizuki, Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Suzume when Arai pinned Mizuki with the Finally (15:36).

Yokohama played host to a big preview for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” where all of the champions faced against their challengers in an 8-Woman Tag Match. Before it began Hyper Misao complained about Daydream bringing sasumata poles to the ring again and Rika Tatsumi promised not to use them. But when Misao started using her Hero Spray on the other team, Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe broke their promise and used the poles to attack Kyoraku Kyomei with. Meanwhile Suzume got the upper hand against Moka Miyamoto, ending their exchange with a low range Ring A Bell. The match switched focus over to Mizuki against Yuki Arai. Others still got in the middle of their fight and Arai ultimately took advantage of the situation. Miyamoto blocked Mizuki’s Cutie Special attempt and tried to give her the Korokan. Mizuki escaped from the move but left herself completely open to Arai hitting her with the Finally, scoring a big pinfall victory over her!

Arai celebrated her first win over Mizuki with the rest of her team. She always thought you shouldn’t challenge someone for a championship if you’ve never beaten them previously so today she can now see herself winning the Princess Of Princess Title at Ota Ward Gymnasium even more clearly. Miyamoto said that was her last preliminary match in Japan but she still has warm up matches coming up for the USA tour. Tatsumi & Watanabe pointed out that every summer is a Daydream summer because they always happen to be in some kind of championship match during this time of the year. The champions are now licking their wounds and regrouping. Shoko Nakajima promised that Kyoraku Kyomei will have a secret weapon of their own to combat Daydream’s sasumatas. Suzume will take this loss as a lesson to get through the USA tour. Mizuki wants to make a comeback from this spot they are in right now.

At some point during the day of the show, Riara found Sanshiro Takagi sitting backstage and suffocated him with a plastic bag to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title! So when she showed up for her match both Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami were confused to see her carrying the belt with her. Hasegawa ended up submitted Riara to win the tag match and therefore become the new Iron Man Champ! She said even though it is a singles title she couldn’t have won it without Toribami’s help so she would like to think they are sharing it. She also hopes to hold onto it long enough that she will get to defend it in her retirement match on Tuesday.

Round 2 of the Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League began today. This is the last stage before the proper tournament starts so whoever wins went through to fill in the final spots. Ivy Steele had the size and power advantage over Haru Kazashiro but the teenager knocked her down with a 2nd Rope Missile Dropkick and was able to pin her with the Fisherman Suplex. Kazashiro was happy to have the match with Steele because they haven’t crossed paths much before today. She now wants to make her summer a great one and this was her first step towards making it happen. Steele hoped she was going to win today because Yokohama Radiant Hall is where she made her Tokyo Joshi Pro debut. She thinks she focused too much on her future and wasn’t able to concentrate on today’s match. She also didn’t expect Kazashiro to have the strength to Fisherman Suplex her so only concentrated on countering her submission holds.

Wakana Uehara stamped her way to the main tournament by defeating Shino Suzuki. A stubborn Suzuki wanted to beat her with the Sleeper Hold but Uehara broke free and made her give up to the Banana Pillow. Uehara praised Suzuki for being the most reckless and hard working out of anyone in TJPW so she was happy to fight her today. They’re going to have a rematch in Houston next week so she’ll be focused on looking out for Suzuki’s reckless Sleeper Hold. Backstage Suzuki said she usually cries after losses like these but she realizes if she does that again in her third year as a wrestler she will never make progress. She really wants to change that because there is so much she knows she can do.

TJPW will be starting up a women’s pro wrestling class for beginners at their dojo this August. The Joshi Pro Wrestling Camp will have Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima as the two regular instructors with others filling in whenever they go wrestle abroad. The plan is to hold these classes on weekends when there are no TJPW shows on.

Another special guest will be Teppei Arita, a Japanese comedian who has written several books about pro wrestling and also hosts his own Youtube series about current stories from around the industry. In fact Hasegawa was interviewed on a recent episode that was uploaded last week.

BASARA “BASARA 283 ~UTAGE~”, 08/07/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Daiki Shimomura Vs Takeru Inoue
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Gouma Ryu Vs Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga
3. Daichi Kazato & Munetatsu Nakamura Vs SAGAT & Minoru Fujita
4. Isami Kodaka & Ryota Nakatsu Vs Takumi Tsukamoto & Takato Nakano
5. Ryuichi Sekine, FUMA & Ayumu Honda Vs Masato Kamino, Lil’ Kraken & Fuminori Abe

Last month Ayumu Honda joined forces with Hyakusho Ikki even though he didn’t really want to. Blame Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi for that. We’ll see how much of a united force they can be in a few days time.

GANBARE☆PRO “WILD AT HEART 2025”, 19/07/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Moeka Haruhi & Yuna Manase Vs Makoto & Chika

4. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Mizuki Watase & Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Toru Sugiura & Munetatsu Nakamura

High hopes are fueling Toru Sugiura & Munetatsu Nakamura’s challenge for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles. Nakamura would have gotten injured by Mizuki Watase last month if it wasn’t for Sugiura throwing in the towel. Watase gets needing to preserve yourself for the big title match but he and Shigehiro Irie want the challengers to not say die once the actual match takes place.

Bad tension is building up between YuuRI and Mio Shirai. Will it spill over into something worse when they have their singles match?

Chika is coming over from Pro Wrestling Evolution.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25”, 21/07/2025
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Andreza Giant Panda & Raku Vs Kyoko Inoue & Pom Harajuku
2. Special Tag Match: El Desperado & Maki Itoh Vs Chris Brookes & Emi Sakura
3. Special Single Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Billie Starkz
4. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Moka Miyamoto
5. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe
6. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Yuki Arai

What’s the most chaotic pair of opponents you can find for Chris Brookes & Emi Sakura? How about El Desperado & Maki Itoh! The two originally met in America while working the same GCW show and have been tweeting back and forth for a while about teaming up. Now looks like the perfect time to make it happen. Itoh wants Desperado to learn the Itoh Respect Army dance for their entrance. He didn’t expect that to be part of the deal.

TJPW say a health issue is preventing Max The Impaler from participating at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” so Pom Harajuku needs a new tag team partner. Luckily for her TJPW has decided to bring in Kyoko Inoue as the replacement! The joshi legend currently wrestles for Diana, a promotion that just so happened to join the UJPW recently so I wonder if that new connection helped put this deal together.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GARAFES DASH!! ~UENO KITEKITE DAI SAKUSEN~”, 26/07/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Miu Watanabe, Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami Vs Yuki Arai, Raku & Shino Suzuki

Yuki Arai will wrestle at a Garafes show for the first time.

BASARA “BASARA 285 ~CONTINUATION IS POWER~”, 03/08/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. GRACE PROJECT Sponsored Match: Toru Sugiura, Captain Grace, Shigehiro Irie & Daiki Shimomura Vs Tomoya Hirata, Mizuki Watase, Ultra Soki & HIROYA
2. Special Tag Match: Isami Kodaka & El Desperado Vs Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino
3. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs X

A couple of weeks after Despy appears in TJPW he will then show up in BASARA to team with Isami Kodaka. The two of them were specifically put together for Aijin Tag to fight against.

The Grace Group bus company have their own independent wrestling promotion called GRACE PROJECT. They don’t really have their own roster, save for Captain Grace who is the man in charge of the whole thing. Instead their shows are filled with indie wrestlers from across Japan including those who compete in BASARA. So a lot of familiar faces are showing up in their offer match for the show.

SUPER JAPAN “SANSHIRO TAKAGI 30TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT ~SUPER JAPAN PRO WRESTLING HATAAGE-SEN”, 19/08/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: Yasu Urano Vs Mikiya Sasaki
2. Special Single Match: TAKA Michinoku Vs MIKAMI
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Brahman Yuji, Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei Vs Fuminori Abe, Takuya Nomura & Ippanjin Munenori Sawa

Looks like Sanshiro Takagi and The Brahman Brothers are going to get their way. For one night Yuji Nagata is going to become Brahman Yuji! That’s bad news for Astronauts and Munenori Sawa because Nagata does look like he has a good bowling arm.

What can I write about a Yasu Urano Vs Mikiya Sasaki match? Nothing much.

Kuroshio TOKYO Japan will also be on the show.

Shunma Tears His ACL Again, DDT Lineups For July, ZSJ At Wrestle Peter Pan

July 4, 2025

During the week Shunma Katsumata injured his knee during practice and was diagnosed with a torn ACL in his left knee. He will be out of action for a while. It is the same injury he suffered last November that kept him on the shelf until this past March so he is having rotten luck with his health lately. A lot of his matches for July were already booked so plenty of show lineups had to be changed around because of his injury.

Katsumata was meant to team with Yuki Ueno to take on Ryota Nakatsu & Yuki Ishida from Harimao. Ueno will now team with Kazuma Sumi.

The public contract signing for the next KO-D Openweight Title match will happen before the show starts.

DDT “JAPAN PARA-WRESTLING FEDERATION PRESENTS CHARITY PRO WRESTLING FESTIVAL ~REIWA 7TH ODAWARA BATTLE~”, 06/07/2025

Akito replaces Katsumata to face the legends on Sunday’s show.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2025 IN UENO”, 08/07/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Makoto Oishi & Kazuma Sumi Vs Yuya Koroku & Yuki Ishida
2. Dance Vs Idol Battle Without Honor & Humanity ~ Special Single Match: Kazuki Hirata Vs Yuni
3. Falls Count Anywhere Crocodile Death Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion Vs Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya Vs Jun Akiyama, Daichi Sato & Soma Takao
5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y Vs Hikaru Sato & Akito
6. KANON 6th Anniversary Match ~ Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs HARASHIMA & Danshoku Dieno

With To-y and Hikaru Sato about to face each other for the DDT Extreme Title soon, they’re first going to test each other out in a tag match.

The KO-D Champion and KO-D Tag Team Champions are teaming up together. Two of their opponents will be challenging for the tag titles soon but Soma Takao is sticking out like a sore thumb here.

DDT “ROCK IN RING 2025 ~PLAY THE STRIKES, SHOUT THE CHEERS”, 13/07/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Naomi Yoshimura & Antonio Honda Vs Soma Takao & Yuni
1. 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Super Sasadango Machine Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Yuki Ishida Vs Chris Brookes, Jun Akiyama & Daichi Sato
3. Special Tag Match: Kosei Fujita & Takeshi Masada Vs To-y & Yuya Koroku
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Masashi Takeda, Ilusion & Haruto Sakuraba Vs MAO, KANON & Kazuma Sumi (w/ KIMIHIRO)
5. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Akito & Kaisei Takechi Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & MJ Paul
6. DDT Universal Title: Minoru Suzuki (c) Vs Shinya Aoki
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs HARASHIMA

The new champion Kazusada Higuchi instantly attracted one of the best wrestlers in DDT to challenge him for the title. HARASHIMA always wants to fight the strongest wrestlers and admires Higuchi for having the strength to climb back to the top of the mountain after returning from his injuries.

Akito will also be filling in for Katsumata on this show for the all important Kaisei Takechi match.

DAMNATION T.A are really ramping things up. Not only do they have Haruto Sakuraba coming back for his second wrestling match but now Masashi Takeda will be on his team! Ilusion may not even have to do much on the day other than be an annoying little shit to the opponents and that’s second nature to him at this point.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2025 IN SHINJUKU – DAY 2”, 16/07/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. Dedicated To Lafcadio Hearn! Ghost Story Shin-Numabukuro Death Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Akito Vs KANON Vs Soma Takao
*Ghost Story Artist: Hisaya Imabayashi
2. Noryo KING OF DRUNK Decision Match: HARASHIMA Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Shunma Katsumata
3. Special Single Match: Ilusion Vs Kumadori
4. Beer Garden Specialty Customer Lottery 8-Man Tag Match: To-y, Yuki Ueno, MAO, Kazuki Hirata, Antonio Honda, Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku and Yuki Ishida

Ilusion’s behavior has gotten under someone’s skin for them to do something about it. Kumadori has had enough of Ilusion’s cheating and insults so he wants to deal with him one on one.

Just because Katsumata blew out his ACL again doesn’t mean he can’t compete in the KING OF DRUNK contest. He’s still taking part in it as far as I can tell.

DDT “SANKO MANUFACTURING CO., LTD. OME PRESENTS HARASHIMA RETURNS HOME! ~WE’RE HOLDING A SHOW IN OME! WHY? BECAUSE IT’S MY HOMETOWN!~”, 27/07/2025
Sumitomo Metal Mine Arena Ome Sports Hall 1

1. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya (c) Vs Jun Akiyama & Daichi Sato
2. HARASHIMA Debut 24th Anniversary Match – Special 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Togi Makabe & Yasu Urano Vs Shinya Aoki, Shuji Ishikawa & Akito

The brand new tag team called The Apex are now the KO-D Tag Champs. Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya now have another pair of heavyweights coming to take their new belts. Ever since Daichi Sato became a full fledged member of DDT he’s been teaming with Jun Akiyama a lot. The legend has seen to it to become the teenager’s mentor and could end up being rewarded for it by with a first time KO-D Tag Title reign.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025 – DAY 1”, 30/08/2025
Tokyo Higashin Arena Main Arena

1. KO-D Openweight Title: Kazusada Higuchi (c) Vs X

Zack Sabre Jr. will be on the show. Looks like he will only be on Day 1 of “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025” and not Day 2.

6. Mizuki, Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Suzume Vs Yuki Arai, Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Moka Miyamoto

It’s not exactly the go home show for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” because Yoshiko Hasegawa’s graduation and the Texas tour will both be happening between now and then. But this show is getting the champions versus challengers multi-woman tag match.

Speaking of Hasegawa’s graduation, her good buddy Riara is showing up to face her inside a Tokyo Joshi Pro ring.

The winners of Wakana Uehara versus Shino Suzuki and Haru Kazashiro versus Ivy Steele will qualify for the Tokyo Princess Cup.

Maki Itoh will be missing the show due to a scheduling conflict. It is not wrestling related, I believe she is appearing at a LinQ concert that day because a member of that group is graduating.

SUPER JAPAN “SANSHIRO TAKAGI 30TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT ~SUPER JAPAN PRO WRESTLING HATAAGE-SEN”, 19/08/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: TAKA Michinoku Vs MIKAMI

Plans have changed and Sanshiro Takagi has decided to rebrand his 30th Anniversary spin-off brand. Gone is MatchMake & Agent Pro Wrestling and taking its place is Super Japan Pro Wrestling! Takagi wants to imagine what it would be like if the wrestling promotion he helped form in 1997 was named Super Japan instead of Dramatic Dream Team. Part of that vision is getting one of DDT’s other founders MIKAMI to take part in the debut show. He will face the similarly aged TAKA Michinoku in what might be Super Japan’s inaugural match.

Also announced for the show are Kuroshio TOKYO Japan, The Brahman Brothers, Fuminori Abe and Ippanjin Munenori Sawa. Takagi and The Brahmans all want Yuji Nagata to be on the show but he keeps turning them down.

Shinjuku FACE

1. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 2: X Vs X
2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 2: X Vs X

Earlier today Rise Shirai brought the eight remaining wrestlers in the Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League together to take part in a draw to determine who faces who in Round 2. The winners of these four matches will qualify for the actual Princess Cup, filling in the four remaining spots. The lottery came up with these four matches:

-. Moka Miyamoto Vs Kaya Toribami
-. Haru Kazashiro Vs Ivy Steele
-. Wakana Uehara Vs Shino Suzuki
-. Pom Harajuku Vs HIMAWARI

It has not been decided yet which matches will take place when. Two will be held at the 5th July show in Yokahama Radiant Hall and the remaining two takes place in Shinjuku FACE on 8th July. The match placements will take the rest of the show cards into consideration. For example maybe Moka Miyamoto will have another match with Suzume in Yokohama to build up their upcoming title match so that would mean Miyamoto’s qualifier against Kaya Toribami would have to take place in Shinjuku.

DDT “CHARISMANIA II”, 18/06/2025
Shinjuku FACE

1. LUCHA LIBRE WORLD WIDE: El Pantera Jr. & Sumicaras Vs Ilusion & Sangre Azteca Jr.
2. ~20 Years Of Promise~: Yasu Urano Vs Naohiro Katsumi
3. GREATEST WRESTLING MATCH EVER: Dick Togo Vs Daisuke Sasaki

A wrestling master facing one of his proteges many years later is always a nice story to have for a match. At the first “CHARISMANIA” show held last year Daisuke Sasaki said he wanted to challenge Dick Togo to a singles match to celebrate his 20th anniversary in wrestling. The two are living up to their promise and doing the match at “CHARISMANIA II”.

This year is also the 20th anniversary of Naohiro Katsumi’s debut in SUPER CREW. He hardly ever wrestles nowadays but reappeared at the first “CHARISMANIA” to face his classmate KUBITO. He returns for the second event this time to wrestle Yasu Urano one on one.

Two second generation luchadors have been booked for the show. Both El Pantera Jr. and Sangre Azteca Jr. are currently having a long stay in Japan to wrestle for Michinoku Pro. More masked wrestlers are involved with the addition of Ilusion and… Sumicaras is back again after his last Beer Garden appearance?

3. KO-D Openweight Title: Chris Brookes (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi

For his third ever pro wrestling match Kumadori is going to team with HARASHIMA. That’s a good partner to rely on when you have to fight MJ Paul & Ilusion from DAMNATION T.A.

DDT “YOKOHAMA NIGHT SPLASH”, 05/07/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion (c) Vs Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada

The next team to challenge DAMNATION T.A for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles is SCHADENFREUDE International. It came about when Takeshi Masada wanted a title shot. Ilusion refused because Masada hadn’t won anything to deserve one but then Ilusion was reminded that he was pinned by Antonio Honda recently. Sasaki has been letting Ilusion speak on behalf of the heel group recently along with making decisions so Ilusion walked into giving SCHADENFREUDE the next title shot. Not sure if Hideki Okatani would have done the same or if he even cares.

DDT “ROCK IN RING 2025 ~PLAY THE STRIKES, SHOUT THE CHEERS”, 13/07/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Tag Match: Kosei Fujita & Takeshi Masada Vs To-y & Yuya Koroku
2. DDT Universal Title: Minoru Suzuki (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

DDT are putting together To-y & Yuya Koroku to be their opponents for the match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25”, 21/07/2025

GANBARE☆PRO “SUICIDE SQUAD 2025” Results

May 6, 2025

GANBARE☆PRO “SUICIDE SQUAD 2025”, 05/05/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall
294 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Shota Kawakami 1st Anniversary Match: Shota defeated Shota Kawakami with the Frog Splash (10:10).
2. YuuRI, Nanami & Kirari Wakana defeated Moeka Haruhi, Yuna Manase & Banny Oikawa when YuuRI pinned Oikawa with the Swanton Bomb (9:50).
3. Yumehito Imanari, Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Yuki Kanzaki, Munetatsu Nakamura & Daisuke®️ when Tominaga pinned Daisuke®️ with Wine Hamon Overdrive (13:36).
4. HARUKAZE’s Last Match Before Her Hiatus: Ken Ohka defeated HARUKAZE with the Flame Spear (13:17).
5. Shuichiro Katsumura & Hartley Jackson defeated Toru Sugiura & Dragon Libre when Katsumura pinned Libre with the KKB (15:23).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Yasu Urano & PSYCHO when Watase pinned Urano with the Running Elbow Butt (19:25).
*V4 for Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase.

After the main event Mizuki Watase brought up that he and Yasu Urano once fought each other for the King Of Dark Title, a championship that DDT awarded to the loser and banished them to the pre-show until they won a match. He noted that match was 16 minutes long and lasted longer than the main event of the same show that day. He also said after today’s show he is now certain who the main character of Ganbare☆Pro is and that’s everybody in the GanPro universe! As for the next challengers for Watase & Shigehiro Irie, they welcome anyone to come face them for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles. They want to defend the titles at every GanPro show.

The semi-main event sparked a fire between GanPro and FREEDOMS when Takashi Sasaki interfered in the match to help Toru Sugiura & Dragon Libre. The GanPro wrestlers acting as seconds at ringside ran him off allowing Shuichiro Katsumura & Hartley Jackson to win one for the home team. Sasaki swore revenge afterwards and said he will fight GanPro any time.

Sadly for HARUKAZE she is leaving pro wrestling for now without ever winning a match at an independent GanPro show. She was persistent in trying to get Ken Ohka to tap out to an Arm Bar before switching gears to using roll up pins. Ohka couldn’t be beaten though and he pinned HARUKAZE with the Flame Spear. HARUKAZE asked everyone to make GanPro bigger so when she does come back she can win her first match there in front of a larger audience! Ohka said he believes she will be successful in life away from pro wrestling and when she does return they will wrestle together again.

Once the show was completed Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & YuuRI held a Ganbare☆Rally at ringside to promote the “YOUNG GANBARE SUMMIT” show happening on 10th May. Nakamura will be facing Mochizuki Jr. from Dragongate on the show and promised to beat him with a German Suplex. Kawakami called his opponents Kazumasa Yoshida & Ali Najima two big opponents so he and Shota Kofuji will show them a giant killing! YuuRI will be in a 6-Woman Tag Match and said no matter who she teams up with or fights against she will do her best in her own way.

Yoshiko Hasegawa will get to wrestle in GanPro one last time before her retirement. She will team with YuuRI & Riara to take on Yuna Manase, Moeka Haruhi & Banny Oikawa on 22nd June.

DDT “HELLO☆DRAMATIC DREAM 2025”, 03/05/2025
Yokohama Radiant Hall
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Special Single Match: Kazusada Higuchi defeated MJ Paul with the Claw Hold (8:04).
2. Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda defeated Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Honda pinned Hirata with the Japanese Leg Roll Clutch Hold (11:18).
3. Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Akito defeated Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada when Akito pinned Masada with a Modified Samson Clutch (14:04).
4. Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato when To-y pinned Sato with a Hurricanrana (13:50).
5. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated Soma Takao & Yukio Naya when KANON pinned Takao with the Modified Facebuster (12:47).
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani & Ilusion (c) defeated Shunma Katsumata, Yuni & Kazuma Sumi when Okatani pinne Katsumata with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (16:36).
*V1 for DAMNATION T.A.

Today didn’t turn out well for NωA Jr. Their opening show performance was interrupted by Strange Love Connection so KIMIHIRO could take it over and perform a rap for his team. Then in the main event NωA Jr. lost their rematch against DAMNATION T.A and failed to regain the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. The finish came when Hideki Okatani hit Shunma Katsumata with the Skewer-Style Claymore and then pinned him with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Both Yuni & Kazuma Sumi aren’t going to let the result get them down. Sumi said NωA Jr.’s motto is “turn negativity into positivity. Yuni agrees and promised they will remain cheerful, energetic and positive as they work towards their concert in December.

After the match Yuki Ueno & To-y entered the ring to pick up Katsumata. The three of them then challenged DAMNATION T.A for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles as The 37KAMIINA. First, Daisuke Sasaki refused so To-y tried to convince Ilusion. When Ilusion also refused Ueno started arguing with him and the two brought up that Ueno was Ilusion’s coach back when DDTeeeen!! was around. Humbled by the confrontation, Ilusion accepted the challenge and accused Ueno of abandoning the DDTeeeen!! wrestlers. Ueno said if Ilusion gets too cocky again he will make him pay the penalty.
