We’re a month early but we are approaching a decade of Yuki Ueno as a pro wrestler. Inspired to take up the gig with DDT by his high school classmate Konosuke Takeshita, Ueno cut his teeth in DDT’s developmental brand DNA and stood in Takeshita’s shadow under for a good chunk of his career. However Ueno gradually became a polished main eventer and by the time 2023 came around he made it his goal to carry the company on his back. It was only in the last year or two he cemented himself as the company’s modern day ace. One of the wrestlers who has been by his side the entire time was his choice of opponent for the main event, Shunma Katsumata.

After some cheeky NeppoWER!! poses from the two wrestlers at the start of the match, Ueno went high risk quickly by doing a Moonsault out of the ring onto Katsumata. In return, Katsumata got back into the ring so he could dive into Ueno with a Topé Con Hilo. They then fought up to the stands where Ueno Suplexed Katsumata down the steps into the lobby. He tried to pin him right there but was reminded by Yukinori Matsui this was not a Falls Count Anywhere match. To-y joined in on the fun to throw Chops at Ueno until Katsumata accidentally knocked him down with a misfire. Katsumata then had the idea to pile Ueno on top of To-y then climb up the entry way to hit the Totonou Splash onto the both of them on the floor! Back in the ring Ueno kicked out of the ¡Hasta la vista! and blocked a second Totonou Splash. He then fought back using the Sit Down Himawari Bomb, Standing Shining Wizard, two Dropkicks and then the WR to get the win over his buddy.

Ueno thanked Katsumata after the match because he had taught him so much ever since the beginning. Katsumata had already debuted when Ueno started training but somewhere down the line the dynamic between them changed and now it’s Katsumata who treats Ueno like he’s his senior. Ueno said he got his strength from Katsumata and has so much respect for him. It is also thanks to Takeshita that Ueno fell in love with pro wrestling. Speaking of Takeshita, he walked down to the ring after Ueno talked about DDT’s goal to one day make it to the Tokyo Dome. After Takeshita congratulated Ueno on his anniversary, he said he wants to go with DDT to the Tokyo Dome too because when they do he will fight Ueno there one on one! Ueno agreed to the idea and confirmed it will happen when DDT gets to the Tokyo Dome! Backstage, Katsumata talked to reporters about having really bad luck, enough that it made him think about giving up. But everybody in The 37KAMIINA is always there to support him and he wants to see bigger things in DDT alongside them. He is thankful that Ueno was able to keep the unit together while he was out injured.

The matches that took place up and down the card were all put together by Ueno, mostly because they were just matches he wanted to see happen. For Takeshita’s return to DDT, Ueno wanted to relight the spark a bit for the ALL OUT Vs Sendai Girls feud from 2019. Takeshita would once more face Chihiro Hashimoto in a battle of the German Suplexes! To-y and Kazuma Sumi were both in the match too because it was a tag team bout but it turned out they were there to be German Suplexed around by Takeshita and Hashimoto. Takeshita proved his version of the move was the best by using that instead of the Raging Fire to pin Sumi. It looked like he and Hashimoto would continue to fight after the match but they bowed to each other instead.

Takeshita felt his actions in the ring said everything he wanted to say about the match but he told reporters that he thinks the future of pro wrestling in Japan is incredibly bright based on how the others fared in the ring with him. To-y has come out of the match learning that he has to be the real deal and not turn into a fake version of himself. He needs to become the ultimate real deal so he can be “The Authentic” To-y. Then he can show on the world stage that “The Authentic” can beat “The Alpha”. Takeshita told him he’s a million years too early for that. To-y responded he’ll just wait until he’s a million years old then. Sumi asked Hashimoto if maybe someday he can appear on a Sendai Girls show. Hashimoto said Sumi looks close enough to Yurika Oka that Meiko Satomura probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

The entrances alone for Match #5 were an overriding feast for the senses. Kazuki Hirata got to dance in full then handed over his glasses to Kaisei Takechi to get him wearing them for the photographers at ringside. Yoshihiko’s entrance music had an added angry rap from KIMIHIRO added to it while the Battle Doll entered the ring with MAO and YUZUKI. Takechi got to learn first hand what a tricky opponent Yoshihiko can be and he was overwhelmed by its teamwork with MAO. Hirata ended up getting his elbow dislocated by an Arm Lock from Yoshihiko but Takechi came to the rescue by using the Tegatana neck strike he learned from Hirata on his opponents! He then used his power of dance to heal Hirata’s elbow so they could both dance in the ring together. They just didn’t expect MAO & Yoshihiko to recover during this and attack them. They almost made a comeback but instead Yoshihiko gave Takechi the Reincarnation while MAO pinned Hirata with a Spinning Brainbuster. Backstage MAO said he was happy to team up with Yoshihiko again after they lost the BZW Tag Team Titles earlier this year. Unfortunately it’s been so long since they last went to France that Yoshihiko has forgotten to speak French. MAO suggested it could be time for them to travel somewhere else, like Southeast Asia. Meanwhile Takechi cannot figure out what he just experienced when fighting Yoshihiko. The doll never changes its expression yet its weight can dramatically shift as the match progresses. Hirata asked if Takechi would ever like to fight Yoshihiko in a singles match. Takechi would have to speak with LDH first to get their opinion on the matter.

Days after getting a beating at the big RIZIN show, Shinya Aoki was game to take part in a 3 Way Match pitting himself against both HARASHIMA and Akito. The three ended up getting constantly tangled into each other with different submission holds and pinning combinations that still had the third person getting involved. HARASHIMA broke through with an opening when he did a Springboard Splash onto Akito while Aoki had him trapped in a Figure 4 Leg Lock. HARASHIMA then aimed for the Somato at Aoki but Aoki dodged it. Aoki then applied his Aoki Clutch finisher but Akito tried to stop it by applying a Leg Lock. Aoki figured out he could still roll the both of them over in the hold and pin both of his opponent’s shoulders down for a three count. Matsui counted the pin on Akito and that was all Aoki needed for the win. After the match Aoki said he has returned to DDT with his head held high and is going to live his life here one step at a time. He then thanked Ueno on his 10th Anniversary. He was later reminded backstage that he has a match with Zack Sabre Jr. coming up at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2026” on 3rd November. He thinks Mikuru Asakura’s punching him in the head over and over made him forget about it until it was brought up again by the reporters.

Ueno took part in two matches on today’s show. For the first match of the day he wanted to team with one of his biggest inspirations as well as one of his biggest enemies to help teach the wrestlers he mentored from DDTeeeen!!! a thing or two. That meant Ueno was teaming up with Osaka masked wrestler HUB as well as a not too thrilled Daisuke Sasaki. The D GENERATIONS team were joined by the injured Munetatsu Nakamura at ringside. Sasaki was more interested in sabotaging Ueno’s spots rather than teaming up with him. But things went pear shaped for Sasaki when he was tagged in to fight his own stablemate Ilusion. Sasaki instructed Ilusion to lay down for him but when he went for the pin, Ilusion suddenly cradled him for a nearfall! Ilusion then started working together with Yuni to try and win. Sasaki had HUB there to help him fight off Daichi Sato & Yuni. He then finally agreed to wrestle side by side with Ueno so they could set HUB up to win with his version of the Frog Splash on Yuni. Sasaki later reminisced about Ueno’s time as a rookie ten years ago. He remembers telling Ueno he has no talent and should go home to the Osaka countryside where he can run a bicycle shop. Meanwhile Ilusion complained about being lumped in with a bunch of brats because he doesn’t have time to play games with punks like them.

There was a Tag Rumble match to add some nonsense to the undercard. Jun Akiyama & Danshoku Dieno ended up running the gauntlet and winning the match as the first entries. Yukio Naya started the match expecting a Lip Lock from Dieno only for Dieno to turn him down. By the time Toru Owashi & Yasu Urano entered the match, Naya chased down Dieno to give him the Lip Lock himself. KANON entered the match wearing matching outfits with Antonio Honda but Yuya Koroku tripped Honda before he could set up the Gongitsune joke. Super Sasadango Machine brought along a new tag partner named Super Systema Machine. The mystery fighter was later unmasked to reveal it was the comedian Minamikawa. He used the powers of Systema to redirect Koroku into knocking Naya out of the ring to eliminate the both of them. With Koroku gone, Honda got to do Gongitsune and KANON joined in with him. The Gongitsune charged up through Dieno’s Hell Gate backfired and sent Honda over the top rope, out of the ring. The final team then entered. It was Takeshi Masada who had now fully transformed into Konosuke Takeshita and along with him was Sakura Hirota as Shin Yuki Ueno! Together their impersonations cleared the ring until Hirota/Ueno got spooked into submission by Akiyama attempting to give her the Exploder Suplex. Akiyama then kept shoving Minamikawa into Dieno’s Hell Gate over and over but Minamikawa kept showing resistance thanks to his Systema training. Akiyama then decided to put him in the Front Neck Lock and Minamikawa quickly tapped out. At least the Sasadango team now know that Systema does not work when your breathing gets cut off.

One wrestler who means a lot to Ueno is Naomi Yoshimura, one of his generation rivals and also former tag team partner in Nautilus. For this show Ueno wanted to see Yoshimura take on his former Harimao stablemate Yuki Ishida. The essence of Harimao was seen during the match when Yoshimura held Ishida in the Claw Hold that used to be used by Kazusada Higuchi. He encouraged Ishida to come at him but easily threw him down until it was time to end him off with the Shonenba, a finisher that Yoshimura has not used in a while. Yoshimura praised Ueno for leading the pack in DDT. He admits to being frustrated that Ueno got to win championships and reach milestones before he did. It used to make him jealous and even bitter but he does not feel that way about it anymore. Yoshimura is determined to elevate the DDT heavyweight scene because it is his generation that are currently on top. He also gave Ishida advice, telling him he shouldn’t go easy on himself and needs to become ruthless. Ishida also learned he is relying too much on his seniors, so much so that it’s become a crutch for him to lean on.

Even the dark match was put together by Ueno to be something he wanted to watch, pitting five crazy wrestlers all against each other in a Falls Count Anywhere free for all that took place while the fans were entering Korkauen Hall. Despite having so much free time before the show began, Kuroshio TOKYO Japan still took so long with his entrance that Hisaya Imabayashi demanded the match start before Kuroshio could do an encore. Chris Brookes kept grabbing Bunbun and throwing him into the audience before briefly settling down in the commentary booth to call the action. He and Masada then held Sanshiro Takagi in place for Minoru Suzuki to do the giant rubber band spot in the crowd. However Takagi broke free and snapped the band back at Suzuki instead. He then brought out the Dramatic Dream bike only for Suzuki to kick him off, take it over and crash it into him in the aisle. Matsui got caught in the crossfire when Suzuki was attacking people with the drill taken from the bike. The fighting then moved over to the lobby where it interrupted To-y’s photo session before the chaos went back to ringside. Suzuki and Kuroshio found a trolley and used it to push Masada and Brookes around the room. Suzuki posed with fans for photos while Kuroshio set up tables and a ladder in the ring. Soon all of Kuroshio’s opponents were laid on the tables so he climbed to the top and jumped off to do the Swanton Bomb. Everyone got out of the way and Kuroshio crashed through the tables on his own. Brookes grabbed a piece of a broken table and smashed it over Takagi, causing it to get stuck around Takagi’s neck with his head poking through the hole. Imabayashi got on the microphone while Brookes and Suzuki were fighting each other, asking for the match to wrap up so the show can start on time. Brookes wouldn’t listen so Imabayashi hit him with a Backfist out of frustration. Takagi then grabbed Brookes and pinned him with La Magistral Cradle, possibly getting extra leverage from the table piece stuck round his neck! With this result, Takagi now has the Right To Challenge Gauntlet in his grasp!

6. Enter Sandman Match: MAO defeated Yuki Ueno, Brahman Sasaki, Takeshi Masada, Danshoku Dieno and Super Sasadango Machine when MAO pinned Sasadango with the Ultra Jam (19:32).

For the next two days DDT are holding their summer beer garden shows inside Shinjuku FACE for the last time before the venue shuts down for good next month. Day 1 ended with the annual Enter Sandman match where The Sandman’s much replicated entrance gets turned into an entire No Holds Barred free for all match. Chris Brookes did his homework and wore a Sandman style outfit. Daisuke Sasaki didn’t show up because of a chronic hangover but in his place was Brahman Sasaki. He unmasked Super Sasadango Machine then shoved him face first into Danshoku Dieno’s Hell Gate. MAO then grabbed a large bag of empty beer cans and jumped off the top rope to land a Guillotine Leg Drop onto Sasadango for the win.

MAO celebrated by calling himself the champion of idiots when Daichi Sato got into the ring. Sato isn’t old enough to drink yet and complained about having nothing fun to do at the show unlike all the adults. This will be his last summer vacation as a student so he wants to make a great memory out of it. MAO suggested they go to a theme park together but Sato instead challenged him for the KO-D Openweight Title so he can become the youngest champion ever! MAO accepted, explaining he’s been waiting for someone like Sato to come fight him. He remembers having a match with Sato four years ago when Sato was only 13 years old. He still remembers Sato kicking him hard and telling him to die. Ever since then MAO has been waiting for Sato to reach puberty so he could finally fight him as a man. Hisaya Imabayashi announced the title match will happen at Korakuen Hall on 30th August, one day after Sato’s 18th birthday.

MAO came into the show holding the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title along with the KO-D Title but lost the Iron Man belt to Shunma Katsumata during the opening segment. Katsumata was then pinned by Yuni while the match order announcement was going on. Another title change happened later when Kumadori beat Yuni to win a 6-Man Tag match. After that Kumadori challenged Katsumata for the DDT Extreme Title after he heard Katsumata say anyone could come challenge him. Kumadori doesn’t want to be a guest wrestler in DDT forever so he wants a title match. It was confirmed for 30th August but Katsumata then kicked Kumadori and pinned him with a Small Package to suddenly take the Iron Man Title off him! He now has a goal to cash in his Right To Challenge Gauntlet so he can win the KO-D title and become a Triple Crown champion!

Lovesickness prevented Antonio Honda from appearing at the show. A.YAZAWA took his place in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match. Everyone in the match danced, drank and caused each other to all spit out their beer. In the end Junta Miyawaki did a Triple H spit with the beer and pinned YAZAWA with the Pedigree.

Yuki Ishida found himself in the Kazuki Hirata spot of immediately losing his match and having everybody angry at him for it. Earlier in the day Soma Takao announced he would be leaving DDT next month so everyone thought it was unfair for one of his last matches in the company would end in just 17 seconds. Everyone agreed to a restart and the match gradually turned from wrestling into everybody feeding each other cans of beer.

The dark match between Ilusion and Yoshihiko turned into a brawl around the venue before making its way back to the ring. Ilusion wanted to use a chair after a ref bump but ended up hitting himself with it when Yoshihiko dodged a swing and the chair bounced off the ropes back into Ilusion. Yoshihiko gave him the Infinity Destroyer before finishing him off with the Reincarnation, getting revenge for Ilusion eliminating him from the Battle Royal in Sumo Hall earlier this week.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026”, 11/08/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Time Delayed Entry Battle Royal: Raku (c) Vs Yuki Iino Vs Toru Owashi Vs Akito Vs Soma Takao Vs Fuminori Abe Vs Naomi Yoshimura Vs Super Sasadango Machine Vs MJ Paul Vs Ilusion Vs Yuni Vs Yuki Ishida Vs Masami Inahata

10. Dramatic Dream Match: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA Vs Kaisei Takechi
11. KO-D Openweight Title – Goodcom Asset Presents: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs MAO

This is the full lineup for “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” but the match order has not been decided yet outside of the main event. Yuki Ueno got one over on MAO this past weekend by making him tap out to a Sleeper Hold. He thinks MAO isn’t hitting the heights of his potential for what should be the most important KO-D Openweight Title challenge of his career. MAO is certain he still has that crazy side of himself, it’s just that he has matured a little bit so he can be ready to become DDT’s champion.

There is a shadow following Hideki Okatani’s reign as DDT Extreme Champion that he needs to vanquish next. He needs to defend the belt against Shunma Katsumata! They have fought over the title two times before with Katsumata winning both times as champion. The first match in 2023 was an important stepstone for Okatani because it was his entry into hardcore wrestling. That match was also where Katsumata injured his leg and had to vacate the title afterwards. When he returned and won it back in 2024, Okatani was one of Katsumata’s first defences during that title reign.

A partnership forged in fire has made Shinya Aoki & Junta Miyawaki decide to chase after the KO-D Tag Team Titles together. They previously fought Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA for No. 1 Contendership over the titles back in March. FANTÔMES DRAMATIC won that match and went on to become the champions so there is plenty of setup for the rematch.

DDT are giving Hinata Kasai a tough challenge if he wants to get his first win while teaming with his dad Jun Kasai. They will take on Jun Akiyama and his DDT protege Rukiya.

Minoru Suzuki & Sanshiro Takagi are joining forces after years of being enemies inside the ring, outside the ring, at an empty Tokyo Dome and even on a bullet train. The strength of their alliance will depend on how annoying Kazuki Hirata & To-y will be in front of them.

Speaking of bullet trains, Raku now holds the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Whoever enters the Battle Royal as the champion will get a bullet train pass for one year to use whenever DDT books them for shows held outside of Tokyo. I’m not sure if that also applies to Tokyo Joshi Pro if Raku gets the prize.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2026 IN SHINJUKU 【FINAL COUNTDOWN 3】”, 13/08/2026
Shinjuku FACE

0. Special Dark Match: Ilusion Vs Yoshihiko
1. Rock ‘N’ Roll 4 Way Death Match: Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Junta Miyawaki Vs To-y
2. Enter Sandman Match: Yuki Ueno Vs MAO Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Takeshi Masada Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Super Sasadango Machine

The final set of Beer Garden shows to be held in Shinjuku FACE will happen in August and the usual match gimmicks will be held there. Miyawaki gets to join in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match for the first time. Ilusion and Yoshihiko are also having a pre-show rematch of their Korakuen Hall dark match from April. Last but not least, Kumadori will be on the show.

DDT “THE FINAL SHINJUKU FACE BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING”, 14/08/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match ~ I’m You, You’re Me: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Fake Daisuke Sasaki
2. Our LariPro ’26: Keisuke Ishii, Danshoku Dieno & Junta Miyawaki Vs Shunma Katsumata, Yuki Iino & Kazuki Hirata
3. Unit Shuffle! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO & HARASHIMA Vs Chris Brookes, KANON & To-y

It’s up to Daisuke Sasaki to deal with the fake forms of himself that have been showing up recently. Keisuke Ishii gets to host his Lariat Pro Wrestling match in Shinjuku FACE for one last time.

GANBARE☆PRO “IT’S A SUMMER FILM 2026”, 15/08/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Keisuke Ishii, SUSHI & Sentaro Motojima Vs Shinichiro Tominaga, Guts Ishijima & Shota Kawakami
2. Moeka Haruhi Vs Rydeen Hagane
3. Yumehito Imanari Vs Hyo Ogawa
4. Ken Ohka 25th Anniversary Match Part 2: Ken Ohka, Masashi Takeda & Akira Shoji Vs Chris Brookes, Isami Kodaka & Fuminori Abe
5. Special Single Match: YuuRI Vs Takumi Iroha
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Takuya Wada & Tyson Maeguchi (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Yuya Susumu
7. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

The Toyama Army that Ken Ohka’s been gathering together has a new member. Masashi Takeda is not from Toyama but apparantly his dad is and he’s visited the area enough times in his life to qualify for membership. There is no disputing that Akira Shoji is part of the team.

Moeka Haruhi and Rydeen Hagane were not on the same page during their tag match over the weekend. They blamed each other for losing that match so the obvious direction to go is have them wrestle each other to settle their differences.

BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “FUCKED UP FEST 2026”, 22/08/2026
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR

1. SEKIFUDA 1 YEAR OF BAKA ~ Special Single Match: Kota Sekifuda Vs Minoru Suzuki

It’s been over a year since Kota Sekifuda left Big Japan to go freelance. The first anniversary of his debut in Baka Gaijin + Friends is happening in August too so his present is a match against Minoru Suzuki.

The live music lineup for “FUCKED UP FEST 2026” includes a lot of bands with wrestlers in it. They are Dos Quatro (MAO), Daisetz (Antonio Honda), NωA Jr. (Shunma Katsumata, Kazuma Sumi & Yuni), Channel D (Daisuke Sasaki) and Super P And The Space Bandits (Filipino wrestler Super P). So those might be the clues as to who else will be wrestling on the show.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Shinya Aoki

This is the match order for Sunday’s show. YUZUKI will be there for Strange Love Connection which is good enough reason for the team to swap places with The 37KAMIINA in the entrance order.

DDT “REMBRANDT HIGHWAY SERIES 2026 ~AYU COLISUEM IN ATSUGI~”, 05/07/2026
Kanagawa Rembrandt Hotel Atsugi Grand Banquet Sagami

6. Yuki Ueno & Shunma Katsumata Vs Jun Akiyama & Junta Miyawaki

I wonder if Yuki Ishida’s little video last week about him needing to change will lead to anything drastic happening between now and this show taking place.

DDT “ASAKUSA ROX NAKAMISE FIGHTING 2026”, 08/07/2026
Tokyo Asakusa ROX 3G Super Multi Court

1. Yuya Koroku, Daichi Sato & MBM Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Rukiya & Masami Inahata

3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Ryota Nakatsu & Naomi Yoshimura Vs Takeshi Masada, To-y & Yuki Ishida

The French wrestler MBM is returning to Japan in July. He is already booked for a Super Japan show during his stay and a few days later he will be back in DDT too.

DDT “CHECK OUT DDT AT GRANSHIP”, 12/07/2026
Shizuoka Granship Exchange Hall

1. Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda Vs Kazuki Hirata & Akito
2. Jun Akiyama & Rukiya Vs MJ Paul & Ilusion
3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Hinata Kasai Vs Kazuma Sumi, Takeshi Masada & Yuya Koroku

Shinya Aoki will be on the show. If he wins the KO-D Openweight Title this weekend then according to the schedule this show will be his first appearance as champion.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2026 IN SHINJUKU 【FINAL COUNTDOWN 1】”, 15/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Invisible Man Rumble: Kazuki Hirata Vs Lengendary Invisible Man Fighters
2. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Yuki Ueno, Shinya Aoki, To-y & Kaisei Takechi Vs KANON, Yuki Iino, Yukio Naya & Viento Levante (w/ KIMIHIRO & YUZUKI)
3. Summer Fun KING OF DRUNK 2026: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Kazuma Sumi Vs Chris Brookes Vs MAO Vs Shunma Katsumata

Last Year’s KING OF DRUNK winner Daisuke Sasaki is ready to defend his crown.

What’s a big attraction like Kaisei Takechi doing at the Beer Garden? Would THE RAMPAGE allow him to have a few drinks if he wishes to have some?

Come see the Invisible Man Rumble… except you can’t… because most of the entries are invisible… We’re starting to enter the territory where this could be mistaken for a Mystery Wrestling show instead of a DDT show.

Kumadori will be on the first day of Beer Garden but he hasn’t been announced for the second day yet.

DDT “FIGHTING BEER GARDEN 2026 IN SHINJUKU 【FINAL COUNTDOWN 2】”, 16/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Mikiya Sasaki Vs Shunma Katsumata & To-y
2. Blindfold Nipple Covered 4 Way Death Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Junta Miyawaki Vs Masami Inahata
3. Kaidan Shin-Numabukuro Royale: Kaisei Takechi Vs Jun Akiyama Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs MAO Vs KANON Vs Naomi Yoshimura Vs Rukiya Vs Hinata Kasai
*Kaidan Reading Artist: Hisaya Imabayashi
4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) Vs Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda

Takechi gets to experience the annual ghost story from Hisaya Imabayashi too! Junta Miyawaki also gets to experience more DDT-ness by taking part in his first Blindfold match. Maybe this time everyone else will want to drink along with him.

I have a suspicion that Mikiya Sasaki is going to impersonate Daisuke Sasaki instead of doing his usual Dory Funk Jr. tribute. Or how about Daisuke shows up thinking he’s Terry Funk?

DDT “YUKI UENO 10TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW -IN MY MIND “10”-”, 13/09/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Tag Match: MAO & Yoshihiko Vs Kazuki Hirata & Kaisei Takechi
2. Yuki Ueno 10th Anniversary Match ~ Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno Vs Shunma Katsumata

A promise was made by Yuki Ueno to have Kazuki Hirata & Kaisei Takechi team up together for his show. He just needed to find the right opponents for them. MAO fits the bill just fine as one half of the opposition. As for the other? Takechi prepare to meet your match in the form of Yoshihiko!

DDT Around The World – May 2026

June 1, 2026

It happened. It’s now done. AEW finally made it to Konosuke Takeshita’s match with Kazuchika Okada and got Takeshita out of The Don Callis Family. At last we can move on with our lives and wait to see if Takeshita’s babyface turn will turn out to be more than just a lateral move. His wife Yuka Sakazaki got some more screentime on ROH this month including a PPV main event. MAO & Yoshihiko brought Kazuma Sumi along on their latest adventure in France, giving Sumi some invaluable overseas experience away from DDT. Chris Brookes gave Munetatsu Nakamura a similar opportunity with a wild weekend over in Manila. Will the summer provide even more wrestling to follow around the globe or can we all take a break for the World Cup? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s being ruined by American corporate greed and so on but Blue Lock seems to be timing their latest story arc to climax by the time the final takes place so that gives me something to look forward to after Ireland failed to qualify. Also getting to watch South Korea Vs Czech Republic at 3am is the kind of football sicko behavior that’s been missing in my life for a while.

Results


ROH “SUPERCARD SHOWDOWN”, 09/05/2026 (Aired 14/05/2026)
SoFi Center, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, USA

1. Athena, Billie Starkz & Marina Shafir defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Maya World, Lacey Lane when Athena pinned Lane after the Swanton Bomb from Starkz

So Ring Of Honor taped a few matches at the same indoor golf course AEW was at last month and they didn’t let Yuka Sakazaki loose around the place? That was a missed opportunity. Instead her warmup match for Survival Of The Fittest also involved some of the other participants Athena, Billie Starkz and Maya World. However a lot of Sakazaki’s time in this match was spent wrestling with Marina Shafir and also building up the hot tag to Lacey Lane. She also hit a big dive out of the ring onto Shafir and World but that left Lane fighting on her own. Starkz gave Lane the Swanton Bomb but not before Athena blind tagged herself in so she could get the pinfall and take the glory for herself.


AEW “DYNAMITE”, 13/05/2026
Harrah’s Cherokee Center, Asheville, North Carolina, USA

1. AEW World Title: Darby Allin (c) defeated Konosuke Takeshita with the Coffin Drop (15:29).
*V5 for Darby Allin.

Even though Takeshita’s match with Okada was already on the schedule, he was given a big detour a few weeks before the show by getting an AEW World Title shot. It was the latest defence in Darby Allin’s eventful title run where he crammed in many title defences into one month. Takeshita couldn’t get the job done fast enough so El Clon ran down to distract the ref while Don Callis handed Takeshita the Dynamite Diamond Ring to use as a weapon. Takeshita refused to use it and threw it away. Too bad moral victories don’t win you championships because Allin made his comeback after that which included a Coffin Drop to the outside and also the Scorpion Death Drop on top of the steel steps. He hit another Coffin Drop outside the ring but Takeshita wouldn’t be beaten that way. He tried to make a comeback of his own but Allin cut it off with the Scorpion Death Lock, keeping Takeshita down long enough to land one more Coffin Drop for the win.


ROH “SUPERCARD OF HONOR”, 15/05/2026
Wicomico Youth And Civic Center, Salisbury, Maryland, USA

1. ROH Women’s World Title – Survival Of The Fittest Match: Athena (c) defeated Maya World, Trish Adora, Zada Steel, Yuka Sakazaki and Billie Starkz (26:12).
1a. Athena eliminated Zayda Steel with a Rope-Assisted School Boy (5:01).
1b. Yuka Sakazaki eliminated Trish Adora with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (15:39).
1c. Billie Starkz eliminated Yuka Sakazaki with the Avalanche Star 10 (17:27).
1d. Maya World eliminated Billie Starkz with a Jackknife Pin (21:47).
1e. Athena eliminated Maya World with the O-Face from the Ladder (26:12).
*V36 for Athena.

This turned out to be a mess of a match. It turned into a Hardcore Match midway through because of the whole “No DQs In In X Way Match” booking cliche so Sakazaki got to do an American style plunder match for once. She also scored an elimination by pinning Trish Adora with the Magical Merry-Go-Round. Her time in the match came to an end a few minutes later when some high risk fighting ended with Sakazaki taking Starkz’s finisher from the top rope.


BAKA GAIJIN + FRIENDS “MNL”, 23/05/2026

1. Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes defeated Hotdog De San Jose & Super P when Sabre submitted San Jose with a Manjigatame (?:??).
2. Main Ronn, Joya & Robienne Sane defeated Demonyitang Daniella Cavite, Crystal & Max Liwanag when Joya pinned Cavite with the Cutter (?:??).
3. Emman & “Mad Kat” Karina defeated Trainee Kenzo & Trainee Kiko when Emman pinned Kiko with the Styles Clash (?:??).
4. Jonathan Johnson defeated Munetatsu Nakamura with a Bridging Pin (?:??).
5. Jake De Leon & Shivam defeated Black Kat & Lifeguard Jack when De Leon pinned Black Kat with the Jumping Super Kick (?:??).

A report of the show can be found here.


GCW/BZW “NOW OR NEVER”, 23/05/2026
Espace Isabelle de Hainaut, Rue de Saint-Quentin, Bapaume, France

1. BZW Tag Team Titles – 3 Way Tag Match: MBM & Ultima Sombra defeated MAO & Yoshihiko (c) and Jimmy Lloyd & Jeffrey John when MBM pinned Yoshihiko with the Reincarnation Reversal (15:27).
*MAO & Yoshihiko fail in V8. Rivality become the 7th BZW Tag Team Champions!
2. DDT Universal Title – 3 Way Match: Kazuma Sumi (c) defeated Gringo Loco and Leedz Lewis when Sumi pinned Lewis with the Reverse 450 Splash (14:22).
*V2 for Kazuma Sumi.

Kazuma Sumi’s goal of defending the DDT Universal Title overseas finally came to pass this month. MAO got him booked for the BZW collab show with GCW in France. His match wasn’t an easy task at all because he had to fight the former Universal Champion Gringo Loco as well as French wrestler Leedz Lewis in a 3 Way bout where he could lose the title without being pinned. Sumi made the most of his moment and pinned Lewis with the Reverse 450 Splash to keep the belt and impress the fans in attendance. He said afterward that he now has a great sense of accomplishment because he can go do his style of wrestling anywhere in the world. He is eager to compete overseas again and spread his name around the planet.

The same success wasn’t there for MAO & Yoshihiko. Their year and a half long reign as BZW Tag Team Champions finally came to an end in a 3 Way Tag against a BZW team and a GCW team. Everybody brawled out of the venue and Yoshihiko did a dive off of a truck to put Jimmy Lloyd through a table. Rivality brought the belts back to their home promotion in the end when MBM found a counter to Yoshihiko’s finishing move, reversing the pin into one of his own for the three count. MAO feels happy that he got to wreak havoc in four different countries while holding the belts with Yoshihiko. His next goal in BZW is to win a singles championship so then some day DDT can hold a show in Europe!


DXCN “DAKILA II”, 24/05/2026
Brawl Pit Bulusan, Quezon City, Philippines

1. 4 Way Match: Robin Sane defeated Jonathan Johnson, Shaheen and Munetatsu Nakamura (?:??).
2. Dexcon World Title: Jake De Leon (c) defeated Chris Brookes (?:??).
*V5 for Jake De Leon.

Another packed weekend in the Philippines is in the books for Brookes. He wasn’t able to come back to Japan with another championship because Jake De Leon was able to defend his Dexcon World Title against him. Munetatsu Nakamura was also part of the Dexcon weekend, taking part in a high flying 4 Way Match where Robin Sane picked up the win over Shaheen.


AEW “DOUBLE OR NOTHING”, 24/05/2026
Louis Armstrong Stadium, New York City, New York, USA

1. AEW International Title: Konosuke Takeshita defeated Kazuchika Okada (c) with the Raging Fire (19:01).
*Kazuchika Okada fails in V10. Konosuke Takeshita becomes the 13th AEW International Champion!

Being at the show live I can tell you the building was very excited to see Okada Vs Takeshita happen with the match graphic on the pre-show getting one of the largest pops out of the lineup. The match was fantastic even with the Don Callis drama at ringside happening midway through. Callis tried to play neutral by telling Okada not to risk injuring Takeshita. While Okada reluctantly followed that instruction, Takeshita did not do the same when Callis gave him the same order. It still took a lot for Takeshita to finally beat Okada, countering the Rainmaker with his own Lariat and then hitting a big Elbow Strike when the Wagamama only got a one count. But when he finally used the Raging Fire there was no fight left in Okada to kick out and Takeshita became the new AEW International Champion! The sweet taste of victory was quickly spoiled when The Don Callis Family all looked to turn on Takeshita after the match. Kyle Fletcher made his big return from injury to hug Takeshita only to turn on him with a backstabbing attack, confirming that our guy is now kicked out of the Family.


AEW “COLLISION”, 30/05/2026
Propst Arena At Von Braun Center, Huntsville, Alabama, USA

1. AEW International Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) defeated Daniel Garcia with the Raging Fire (14:27).
*V1 for Konosuke Takeshita.

Takeshita had to get over the heartbreak of ProtoShita being split up by having his first International Title defence against Daniel Garcia. A wrestler like Garcia has some tricks up his sleeve, like countering Takeshita’s top rope Clothesline into an Arm Drag to the canvas where he then applied the Sharpshooter. Takeshita blocked a rolling cradle that would have set up another submission hold, turning it over to a German Suplex. The big Elbow Strike after that set up the Raging Fire and Takeshita got his first defence in the bag, all while Jon Moxley was watching on from the commentary table. Members of The Don Callis Family ran into the ring to attack Takeshita after the match while outside the ring the Death Riders and Shane Taylor Promotions all suddenly appeared to brawl with each other. If that wasn’t chaotic enough, The Conglomeration entered the fight and cleared the room so it was only them and Takeshita left in the ring. So we end the month with Takeshita finding a new bunch of friends (or an old friend in Mike Bailey’s case).

Right, let’s get things out of the way before the World Cup starts. Miyu Yamashita returns to EVE very soon hoping to win gold there again, this time fighting Kris Statlander from AEW for the EVE International Title. As much as I would love to see a result here that follows up from Yamashita’s match with Jamie Hayter last time around, I’m not sure if that’s something EVE is planning for.

Jonathan Johnson threw out a challenge recently to prove he is one of the best wrestlers in his corner of the world. Sasaki answered his challenge and wants it to be unsanctioned so anything goes!

DDT “EARLY SUMMER BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026” Results

May 26, 2026

DDT “EARLY SUMMER BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2026”, 26/05/2026
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Hideki Okatani & Ilusion defeated Yuya Koroku & Hinata Kasai when Ilusion pinned Kasai with the Swanton Bomb (9:37).
2. 5,000 Yen Allowance Limit Weapons Allowed Death Match: Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida (w/ Ryota Nakatsu) defeated MAO & Kazuki Hirata when Sumi pinned Hirata with the School Boy (13:54).
3. Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato defeated Antonio Honda & Junta Miyawaki when Masada pinned Honda with a Modified Oosui Suplex (10:45).
4. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Rukiya with the Somato (11:39).
5. Shunma Katsumata, To-y & Akito defeated KANON, Yukio Naya & Viento Maligno (w/ KIMIHIRO) when To-y pinned Maligno with the Running T・O・Y (11:58).
6. Special Rules Drunk Match: Danshoku Dieno & Yoshihiko defeated Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes when Yoshihiko pinned Brookes after the Combined Gaydo Clutch (34:00).

Having a Beer Garden show means everybody goes there to get drunk, right? Not always. Yuki Ueno & Chris Brookes made a request for today’s main event to be a Drunk Rules match. However Danshoku Dieno is currently avoiding alcohol for his health and refused to be irresponsible about it. Hisaya Imabayashi agreed it would be a bad move for DDT to force one of their wrestlers to drink when they do not want to and came up with a compromise. A Drunk Match would go ahead for Ueno and Brookes but Dieno would be allowed to drink cola instead when prompted to. Yuki Ishida was also permitted to drink on Yoshihiko’s behalf. The wrestlers would have to drink after every kickout, rope break or if music suddenly played during the match. Dieno brought Yoshihiko up to the top of a ladder while everybody held it steady for their safety (a hot topic in puroresu this week due to the same actions happening at the Best Of The Super Jr.) until Brookes decided to topple Yoshihiko over. A brawl around the arena also resulted in Yoshihiko diving off of the top of the lighting rig. Dieno drinking cola instead of alcohol brought up an unintended consequence of needing to use the bathroom so he had to abandon his tag partner for a while. When he returned armed with toilet paper, Dieno had to fight off Ueno & Brookes on his own until Yoshihiko reappeared wrapped in empty beer cans and diving into the ring. Brookes tried to force Dieno to drink alcohol but Dieno used the Lip Lock to pass the drink over to Ueno. He then made Ueno and Brookes Lip Lock each other then attacked Brookes to make him spit out the beer. Dieno & Yoshihiko then applied a Double Gaydo Clutch on Brookes to win the match after over half an hour of mayhem. After the match Dieno showed regret and admitted he may start to hate DDT’s beer garden shows. However Ueno told everybody they can still enjoy the show without the need for beer, just make sure you don’t drink as much cola as you would alcohol. Dieno wasn’t convinced by Ueno’s drunk ramblings.

After HARASHIMA won his match, he announced to everyone that he and his wife recently welcomed their second child into the world.

For the 5,000 yen weapons match Kazuma Sumi & Yuki Ishida pooled together their money to hire Ryota Nakatsu as their weapon.

DDT Around The World – Late April 2026

May 1, 2026

I haven’t gotten around to looking into what happened on Tokyo Joshi Pro’s two European shows outside of the basic results. All I know is Miyu Yamashita has more plans coming up to wrestle across the world this year. While she doesn’t have to wait long until she packs her suitcase again, Daisuke Sasaki is emptying his after finishing up his month long journey across North America. He found a few more places in America to wrestle in before he made the trip back home.

It’s a little hard to tell if the summer is going to get busier for overseas bookings. Is there much of an appetite for international wrestling when the World Cup is going to be on? CMLL is counting on it and Konosuke Takeshita has at least one date with them in June. I’m going to curse out the company if they use their AI poster art to make him look like a Captain Tsubasa drawing.

Xander Sports Arena, Los Angeles, California, USA

1. Drago, Genio del Aire & Torito Negro defeated Doble Cara, Daisuke Sasaki & Ultimo Maldito when Drago pinned Sasaki with the Tail Of The Dragon (?:??).

Sasaki is one of the more likely DDT wrestlers to go in search of lucha libre when he travels over to the Americas. He didn’t go visit Mexico this time around but he got down there close enough by getting a lucha booking in LA. While there he got to lock horns with Drago as part of a trios match. Sasaki and his rudo partners beat down the other team and held Torito Negro in the Kaientai pose. Genio del Aire tried to make a big counter attack by doing a jumping Hurricanrana to Ultimo Maldito from the human tower only to crash on top of his own head and neck in a disasterous looking botch. Drago inspired the tecnico team’s comeback and both of his partners Moonsaulted out of the ring onto Doble Cara & Maldito. That left Sasaki to duke it out with Drago but he was whipped around into the Tail Of The Dragon llave pin, losing the match to the veteran luchador.

LABOR OF LOVE “THE EXHIBITION”, 25/04/2026
Icebox Project Space, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

1. Anything Goes: Big Callux defeated Daisuke Sasaki with the Black Hole Slam (?:??).

The final stopping point for Sasaki was at The City Of Brotherly Love. Too bad Sasaki hates love because all it ever did was hurt him. The Philly indie scene isn’t what it used to be and hasn’t been for a very long time. But Labor Of Love has popped up to try and find its place in a world that has long since moved on from the days when the corner of Swanson and Ritner St was considered the centrepoint of the American indies. Sasaki went to Philadelphia for a fight with Big Callux where before the match the stipulation was revealed to be Anything Goes. Callux brought along a bag of gifts for Sasaki that included a Gritty toy. Sasaki ripped it in half and threw the remains into the crowd! Callux then gave Sasaki a bouquet of roses but Sasaki just attacked him with them. More fighting broke out with a chair, a chain and also a hockey stick being used as weapons. Sasaki got into the hockey vibes by putting on a Pittsburgh Penguins jersey to piss off the Philly fans even more. He tried to put Callux in the Crossface Lock with the chain to assist him but Callux powered out of it. Sasaki then got the upper hand by unmasking Callux as a distraction to hit him over the head with the chair and then Pedigree him onto it. Callux kicked out though and threw Sasaki from the top rope onto the chair laid out in the middle of the ring. He then hit the Black Hole Slam to win the match, much like how the Philadelphia Flyers went on to win the series against the Penguins in the NHL playoffs a couple of days later.

1. ROH Women’s World Title – Survival Of The Fittest Match: Athena (c) Vs Yuka Sakazaki Vs Trish Adora Vs Billie Starkz Vs Persephone Vs Maya World

All of the competitors have been confirmed and it’s official. Yuka Sakazaki is among the six wrestlers entering Ring Of Honor’s annual Survival Of The Fittest elimination match. Athena’s reign as ROH Women’s World Champion has reached preposterous levels of record breaking in terms of length. Seriously is this the longest running championship reign with so few highlights to exist in modern times?

1. Hotdog De San Jose & Super P Vs Zack Sabre Jr. & Chris Brookes

The first match announced for the show has Chris Brookes teaming up with Zack Sabre Jr. again, bringing SchadenTekkers over to the Philippines. Super P has found a sort of familiar looking super friend in Hotdog De San Jose which means together they are Team SuperHotdog!


GCW/BZW “NOW OR NEVER”, 23/05/2026
Espace Isabelle de Hainaut, Rue de Saint-Quentin, Bapaume, France

1. BZW Tag Team Titles – 3 Way Tag Match: MAO & Yoshihiko (c) Vs MBM & Ultima Sombra Vs Jimmy Lloyd & Jeffrey John

It’s the biggest risk of danger yet for MAO & Yoshihiko in their travels around Europe. They are stuck in the middle of the BZW Vs GCW battle coming up in France and both sides want to take the BZW Tag Team Titles away from them. In the 3 Way Match BZW are sending in Rivality. They are familiar faces to the champions because MBM & Ultima Sombra did a tour in Japan with DDT last year. GCW will be represented by Jimmy Lloyd & Jeffrey John. Gotta be honest they’re not really sending their best into the fight here. Like they have Nick Gage & Vipress teaming up in one of the other matches. That team sounds like a threat!


DXCN “DAKILA II”, 24/05/2026

1. 4 Way Match: Jonathan Johnson Vs Robin Sane Vs Shaheen Vs Munetatsu Nakamura
2. Chris Brookes Vs X

It’s likely that Munetatsu Nakamura will be part of the Baka Gaijin in Manila show as well but for now he’s just been announced for the Dexcon show happening the next day. Even if this turns out to be his only match of the weekend it is still his first overseas expedition which is exciting enough by itself.

1. AEW International Title: Kazuchika Okada (c) Vs Konosuke Takeshita

Here we go, here we go, here we go! Shenanigans spoiled the previous singles match Takeshita had with Kazuchika Okada and let’s face it, shenanigans will likely happen again. But stakes are still high and the feud is finally heading towards its breaking point. Surely this has to be the blowoff with one of them getting kicked out of The Don Callis Family at the end, right?

5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Takeshi Masada, Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato (c) defeated Chris Brookes, HARASHIMA & Hinata Kasai when Masada pinned Kasai with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki (12:54).
*V2 for paleyouth.
6. DDT Extreme Title – Hardcore Table Crash Match: Hideki Okatani (c) defeated Yukio Naya by Table Crash (14:40).
*V1 for Hideki Okatani.
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) defeated Yuki Iino by Referee Stoppage with a Body-Scissors Sleeper Hold (21:44).
*V7 for Yuki Ueno.

Right from the start Yuki Iino tried to take down Yuki Ueno with overwhelming power in his latest challenge for the KO-D Openweight Title. Even when Ueno tried to counter attack with high risk dives out of the ring and also from the top of the entrance to one of the seating sections. Iino caught him after that one and slammed him onto the floor before doing The Apex Elbow. Back in the ring Iino used his power to slam his way out of the Blackout Sleeper and then brought back the Bubba Bomb to set up a low angle Spear for a nearfall. There were more Spears dealt by Iino but Ueno wouldn’t stay down for long. Instead once he found the chance to grab Iino in a Sleeper Hold, Ueno fought to keep a hold of it unil Iino lost consciousness to end the match via TKO.

After the match Ueno told Iino he wants them to keep wrestling each other for the KO-D Title over and over whether it happens five years down the line, ten years down the line or even 100 years down the line! Ueno then brought up another Yuki that is in DDT. He turned to Yuki Ishida at ringside and talked about how lost he must be feeling now that Kazusada Higuchi has retired and Harimao disbanded. Ueno encouraged Ishida to give it his absolute all no matter what path he takes, because it will be the right path for him. Once he does, Ueno will look forward to the day Ishida asks him for a title shot. Backstage, Ueno also gave encouraging words about Iino. Iino recently described himself at being at his peak and it will be all downhill for him from here. Ueno disagrees because DDT has HARASHIMA, Jun Akiyama, Sanshiro Takagi and even Gorgeous Matsuno all still going to the best of their abilities that go beyond physical strength, speed and stamina. As for his next title defence, Ueno assumes it will be against the winner of the King Of DDT tournament which is why he is not entering it this year.

Hideki Okatani got what he wanted and then some when he decided to fight Yukio Naya in a Hardcore Table Crash Match. The rules allowed either a pinfall, submission or table break to decide the winner while everything else goes (barring weapons the referee would deem too dangerous). The two attacked each other with chairs and even a keyboard while the other members of Strange Love Connection built a castle of chairs outside the ring. Naya knocked it down by giving Okatani a Giant Swing into it. DAMNATION T.A interfered to stop Naya from winning, allowing Okatani to put his opponent through a table outside the ring with a Sunset Flip Power Bomb to defend the DDT Extreme Title. After the match Okatani told Naya he is truly a monster and the one who is destined to succeed after Higuchi. It is for that very reason that Okatani swears he will do whatever he can to tear Naya down! Naya accepted he lost the match but said he doesn’t have any injuries coming out of it so he will get revenge by beating Okatani in a standard match with regular rules.

We’re going to have to wait a while longer for Hinata Kasai to win his first match. He wasn’t able to do it here when FANTÔMES DRAMATIC challenged paleyouth for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. With Chris Brookes & HARASHIMA doing what they could to neutralize Yuya Koroku & Daichi Sato, it came down to Kasai trying to find some way to finish off Takeshi Masada. He put him in an STF but it didn’t work, he punched him with a closed fist to set up a Backslide Pin but that didn’t work either. Masada then quickly used the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki to pin Kasai and ensure paleyouth remain the champions. They were then challenged to a title match by MAO, KANON & Viento Maligno from SLC. That will happen on 2nd May.

When Antonio Honda and YOH worked together at the Super Sasadango Machine Vs Yasu Urano show last year, they ended up discovering they are kindred spirits. Today they met again in the ring, this time as opponents in a wrestling match. YOH cut off Honda from telling a Gongitsune joke until he also hurt his knee and decided to tell one of his own. Honda joined in so they could tell the joke together before getting back to fighting each other. Honda went into the books of Antonio Inoki and Hiroyoshi Tenzan by using their moves to try and win. But YOH fought back and made Honda give up to the Anaconda Vice. YOH told Honda that today he has finally gotten over his fear of foxes so they can do Gongitsune together again, maybe this time in New Japan? Honda loves the idea but is that ever going to happen?

Yuya Aoki made his first appearance for DDT in a long time, mixing it up with a lot of the roster in an 8-Man Tag Match. He started off squaring up with Junta Miyawaki but also got to fight Shunma Katsumata, To-y & Ishida throughout the match. Ishida tried to fight fire with fire against KANON but ended up getting burned. KANON out-Lariated him and scored the pinfall with the GURU-GURU Driver.

The appearance of Kumadori in Match #2 inspired Danshoku Dieno to come up with a special rule. Everyone agreed that Kumadori must spend the entire match inside the ring and he is forbidden from stepping outside! It was already a 3 Way Tag Match so the chaotic layout made it a little easier for him to follow the rule. He also astonished Dieno, Kazuki Hirata and Kazuma Sumi when they all grabbed him by the groin and discovered something was unusual about the size. Dieno fell into a depression until Hirata encouraged him to go into the Hell Gate position. Naomi Yoshimura and Yuni were thrown face first into it but Kumadori blocked it… with his groin. With that taken care off, Sumi put Hirata in a Cross Armbreaker to win by submission. He then told everyone that size doesn’t matter.

Rukiya got to score the pinfall in the opening match by beating the newcomer Masami Inahata. With Jun Akiyama and Akito not being able to get the advantage, Rukiya ended up hitting Inahata with a Running Elbow Butt twice. The first time was a nearfall but Inahata couldn’t kick out of the second. The two still confronted each other after the match.

The dark match was originally planned to be Sanshiro Takagi against Ilusion but Takagi is out of action with facial injuries. Ilusion had to go into the show not knowing who his new opponent would be so he demanded the match should have no time limit applied. Hisaya Imabayashi agreed to it and revealed Ilusion had to fight Yoshihiko! It was a dark match for the ages with dives and cheating galore from both wrestlers. Ilusion got to hit Yoshihiko with a chair while the ref was down and then frame Yoshihiko for using the weapon. He even gave Yoshihiko a Low Blow but couldn’t put it away with the Swanton Bomb. Yoshihiko got revenge by giving a Low Blow back to Ilusion and then scored the win by using the Reincarnation.
