June 13, 2023

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

June 11, 2023

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

New Up Up Girls Show, IP Title No. 1 Contender Match, SILVER QUEEN, Time To Get Assessed

June 5, 2023

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “UP UP GIRLS (PRO WRESTLING) 2ND SHOW GRAB IT! THE HIGHEST STAGE!”, 10/06/2023
Shinjuku FACE

1. Moka Miyamoto & Toga Vs Arisu Endo & Shino Suzuki
2. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta Vs Wakana Uehara & Haru Kazashiro
3. Miu Watanabe & Suzume Vs Raku & HIMAWARI

For the first time in four and a half years The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) are holding their own show featuring music performances as well as wrestling matches. The first show was a milestone for the unit because it was where each member revealed their pro wrestling names as well debuting their song “Upper Chop!” Shino Suzuki already has her ring name. Unless at the show she decides to change it to Susususu Suzuki?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “STICK OUT ’23”, 11/06/2023
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Pom Harajuku Vs HIMAWARI
2. Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta Vs Toga & Runa Okubo

7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe

Two wrestlers have stepped forward asking for a shot at the International Princess Title for different reasons. Yuki Aino wants to win the championship after seeing there are women all over the world coming to Tokyo Joshi Pro to fight for it. Arisu Endo was inspired to ask for a shot after standing in her friend Suzume’s corner during last month’s title match. The two will face off in a singles match with the winner getting to challenge Rika Tatsumi somewhere down the road.

A few weeks ago Hyper Misao made Mahiro Kiryu the hero of her own story at the “HYPE!” event. Now they have to be opponents. Misao didn’t see this match coming but understands she will have to beat her friend, even if it ends Kiryu’s momentum coming out of “HYPE!”

Yuki Arai is cleared to return to wrestling on this show. Her return match is also the first time she will be teaming with Raku & Shino Suzuki. That fact is making her look forward to returning even more.

English commentary for the show will be provided by Chris Brookes, Drew Parker and Baliyan Akki.

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

1. SILVER QUEEN Infomercial Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Kazuki Hirata Vs MAO & Yoshihiko

DDT is bringing back the Infomercial Match. It is a wrestling match purposefully put together to promote a local sponsor. For example the sponsor for this show is SILVER QUEEN, a restaurant marketed towards fans of the singer Eikichi Yazawa (the inspiration for Antonio Honda’s alter ego A.YAZAWA).

BASARA “BASARA 222 ~OENSOGURA~”, 17/06/2023
Miyagi-no Cultural Center

1. Lil’ Kraken Vs Yasu Urano

Meanwhile Ryota Nakatsu is a two time winner while Minoru Fujita and Fuminori Abe are the two most recent tournament champions.

Isami Kodaka being knocked out of the tournament early frees him up for a first time singles match against MUSASHI from Michinoku Pro.

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

1. Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai, Hideki Okatani & Sanshiro Takagi Vs Ryota Nakatsu, Yuki Ishida, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku
2. International Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo Vs Nick Wayne

4. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul Vs Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima

This past weekend saw Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul attack Toy Kojima with chairs before throwing their names in for the vacant KO-D Tag Team Titles match. DAMNATION T.A are entering the match thinking the championship is as good as theirs. Kojima has Yuki Ueno backing him up and will be fighting to bring the belts back to The 37KAMIINA on Shunma Katsumata’s behalf.

MAO has threatened to kick Kazuki Hirata to death in order to win the vacant DDT Extreme Title. However Hirata is always ready and expecting to be kicked to death in his matches so MAO will have to think about doing something else!

BASARA “BASARA 223 ~KOO~”, 27/06/2023
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2023 – A Block Final: Daiki Shimomura Vs SAGAT
2. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2023 – B Block Final: X Vs X

Daiki Shimomura joins SAGAT in the semi-finals. Shimomura had to beat Kodaka to get hear while SAGAT had a much more peaceful route thanks to a bye sending him past the previous round without him having to wrestle.

GANBARE☆PRO “WRESTLE SEKIGAHARA II”, 09/07/2023
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Riara Vs Sayaka Unagi
2. Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Miyuki Takase
3. YuuRI & Tomoka Inaba Vs Takumi Iroha & Mio Momono
4. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao Vs Akito, Shota & Shinichiro Tominaga
5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Hikaru Sato & Tyson Maeguchi (c) Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Takuya Wada
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

Friends, training partners, wrestling rivals and now a tag team. That describes the relationship between Shuichiro Katsumura & Takuya Wada. They’ve never been able to fight each other in MMA due to being in different weight classes and also different companies. But they are joining forces believing they are the only two fighters who can defeat Hentai Punch Drunkers for the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles. Their challenge was accepted by Tyson Maeguchi before Hikaru Sato could give his thoughts on the matter.

It will soon be time for Riara to get assessed by Sayaka Unagi. Apparently that’s a thing a lot of joshi has to go through these days. Unagi offered to wrestle on Ganbare☆Pro’s biggest show of the year again as a favour to her friend Yuna Manase. Since Manase is currently injured, Riara was chosen to be Unagi’s opponent. The two already knew each other while Riara was training to be a pro wrestler. Unagi’s lesson for her is it takes more than just having the “ganbare” spirit to succeed in wrestling.

The 6-Man Tag Match is a reunion on both sides. Akito, Shota & Shinichiro Tominaga represent the Young Communication Generation while Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao are back together as Team Drift.

DDT “DDT YOKOHAMA UNLIMITED VOL. 3” Results

June 3, 2023

DDT “DDT YOKOHAMA UNLIMITED VOL. 3”, 03/06/2023
Yokohama Radiant Hall
189 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Yuya Koroku defeated Kazuma Sumi with a Running Elbow Butt (6:20).
2. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno defeated Antonio Honda & Rukiya when Iino submitted Honda with the Cross Ass Sexy Lock Ass (8:56).
3. Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani defeated Yusuke Okada & Yuki Ishida when Okatani pinned Ishida with the Double Arm Suplex (9:21).
4. Sanshiro Takagi & Akito defeated Yuki Ueno & Yuni when Takashi submitted Yuni with a Texas Cloverleaf (9:05).
5. Special Tag Match: MAO & Mei Suruga defeated Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Suruga pinned Hirata after the Houkiboshi (11:49).
6. Toy Kojima defeated Daisuke Sasaki (w/ MJ Paul) by Disqualification when Sasaki attacked Kojima with a Chair (8:25).
7. Tetsuya Endo & Jun Akiyama defeated HARASHIMA & Soma Takao when Endo pinned Takao with the Burning Star Press (11:03).
8. Special Tag Match: Yuji Hino & Makoto Oishi defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Takeshi Masada when Hino submitted Masada with the King Kong Sleeper (14:20).

The show began with Chris Brookes greeting the fans and announcing his dislocate shoulder turned out not to be a serious injury. His recovery is on track and he will return to action on 7th July. However Masahiro Takanashi pulled out of the show at the last minute with a fever. In the main event Yuji Hino submitted Takanashi’s replacement Takeshi Masada and then blamed Brookes for having to get chopped by Kazusada Higuchi today! Hino also admitted he hurt his own back last week so they should agree to give each other time to recover. He is really looking forward to their KO-D Openweight Title match so he wants himself and Brookes to be healthy for it. Brookes said he is frustrated he couldn’t wrestle today and currently has no confidence until he returns on 7th July.

Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul kept attacking Toy Kojima with chairs, causing Sasaki to get Disqualified. After arguing with the referee over the result, Sasaki then declared that he & Paul will be the other team facing Kojima & Yuki Ueno for the vacant KO-D Tag Team Titles on 25th June. In fact, Sasaki thinks it is guaranteed DAMNATION T.A will win the titles so 25th June will be more like a title presentation ceremony. Kojima stood up to Sasaki and told him he is prepared to fight for Shunma Katsumata. No amount of cheating will stop Kojima from beating Sasaki for the belts! Backstage Sasaki warned that when DAMNATION T.A win the titles they will turn the belts even more red by dying them with human blood!

Upcoming DDT Extreme Title opponents MAO and Kazuki Hirata faced off in a preview tag match with Mei Suruga and Toru Owashi also involved. MAO & Suruga’s trickery along with Owashi’s insistence to side with them against Hirata made the match feel more like a 3 Vs 1 Handicap bout. Suruga countered the Hirata GO! glasses with her own pair of apple shaped glasses and then used the Houkiboshi double pin with MAO to beat Hirata. After the match MAO & Suruga admitted it was probably a mistake to bring their tag team to DDT but at least they now have a good win rate here. MAO also threatened to kick Hirata to death in order to win the Extreme Title. However Hirata said he is always ready to be kicked to death!

Sanshiro Takagi & Akito were both impressed with Yuni’s performance in their tag match. If Yuni keeps showing the kind of toughness and fearlessness he had today then they think he will be successful. Meanwhile Yuni said he now wants to have a singles match against Takagi.

DDT confirmed that Chris Brookes dislocated his right shoulder yesterday. He will be resting for three weeks but no date has been given yet for when he can return to wrestling. This weekend’s shows have been changed around to make up for Brookes’ absence. Kazusada Higuchi is living up to his promise to help Brookes prepare for the KO-D Openweight Title match as much as he can and still intends to put Yuji Hino’s to the test this weekend.

The Yokohama show is changed a lot because of Brookes’ injury. Masahiro Takanashi replaces him in the main event, MAO now has to team with Mei Suruga again, Yuni will be teaming with Yuki Ueno to fight their bosses Sanshiro Takagi & Akito plus more changes were made down the card.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’23 ~SHOKO NAKAJIMA LOCAL TRIUMPH~”, 05/08/2023
Niigata Dúo CEREZO

This show is a long way out but I’m including it for the list of talent announced so far: Yuki Arai, Aja Kong and… Super Sasadango Machine? Well the event it taking place in his hometown after all. Last time he was in Tokyo Joshi Pro it was to help Hyper Misao reveal she got married.

Brookes Might Be Injured, Nyla Rose Coming To TJPW, Kodaka Challenges For SOG Title

May 29, 2023

A little bit of worrying news comes from today’s Gatoh Move show. CDK were defending the Asia Dream Tag Team Titles against Shin Suzuki & Choun-Shiryu. During the match Shiryu gave Chris Brookes the Chinese Gory Special Bomb and Brookes injured his shoulder, stopping the match. Suzuki & Shiryu were declared the winners and Masahiro Takanashi handed them over the championship belts because the result counts as a title change. Takanashi reappeared later in the show to tell the fans that Brookes was on the way to the hospital for a diagnosis and his message to everyone is he’s feeling fine. The last thing DDT needs right now is another injury, especially to one of the headliners for their next Sumo Hall show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR IN SPRING ’23”, 04/06/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Wakana Uehara Vs Mahiro Kiryu, Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo
2. Yuki Kamifuku Vs Toga
3. Moka Miyamoto Vs Shino Suzuki
4. Hyper Misao Vs HIMAWARI
5. Mizuki & Suzume Vs Shoko Nakajima & Kaya Toribami
6. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Arisu Endo Vs Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku

The strongest trio in Tokyo Joshi Pro lately are Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku. Can they keep their run of success going against Daydream & Arisu Endo? Especially if Rika Tatsumi & Endo figure out how to summon back their heel gimmick from “HYPE!” and go act violently again. Miu Watanabe is too cheerful for that life though.

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

1. Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai, Hideki Okatani & Sanshiro Takagi Vs Ryota Nakatsu, Yuki Ishida, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku
2. International Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo Vs Nick Wayne
3. DDT Extreme Title: MAO Vs Kazuki Hirata
4. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima Vs X & X

Over the weekend Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima made appeals to DDT asking to be one of the teams fighting for the vacant KO-D Tag Team Titles. With ShunMao stepping aside and vacating the belts, Kojima wanted his team with Ueno to represent The 37KAMIINA in the championship match. Despite losing his recent matches, Kojima impressed management enough to grant his request.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’23”, 08/07/2023
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Miyu Yamashita Vs Sawyer Wreck
2. Yuka Sakazaki Vs Nyla Rose
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Maki Itoh

When Yuka Sakazaki announced her plans to graduate TJPW at the end of the year, she said one of her remaining wishes was to wrestle somebody from AEW at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’23”. The invitation was accepted and AEW is sending over Nyla Rose! The former AEW Women’s Champion has wrestled in Japan before but this will be her first time in TJPW. They’ve been opponents in tag matches on Dark before and they also once fought each other in a Triple Threat match along with Riho. This match however is the first time they will face off one on one.

GANBARE☆PRO “WRESTLE SEKIGAHARA II”, 09/07/2023
Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Yoshiko Hasegawa Vs Miyuki Takase
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

The biggest show of the year for Ganbare☆Pro will be headlined with an inter-promotional match against BASARA with their biggest prize on the line. Mizuki Watase is defending the Spirit Of Ganbare Title against Isami Kodaka and both men will be carrying the flag for their respective promotions. The fighting talk between the two from yesterday suggests this won’t be the end to the rivalry. Watase has promised to continue defending the SOG Title against BASARA wrestlers after he beats Kodaka. In return Kodaka has offered to do the same with GanPro talent if he beats Watase for the belt.

Almost one year after she joined GanPro, Yoshiko Hasegawa gets a special singles match against her senpai Miyuki Takase. Hasegawa owes a lot to Takase for taking care of her during her absence away from wrestling. The best way she can pay her back is to show how much she has grown under GanPro and beat her in their first singles match against each other.

Freelance wrestler Kuma Arashi has suddenly offered to wrestle on GanPro shows after attending yesterday’s shows and being impressed with the company’s passion. He had a match in GanPro once before in 2020 back when he was signed to WRESTLE-1. The atmosphere he felt yesterday reminded him of W1 and convinced him to give this place another shot. He also wants to form a tag team with Ken Ohka while he is here.

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

May 28, 2023

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2023 TOUR IN KUMAMOTO”, 28/05/2023
Kumamoto Castle Hall Civic Hall
283 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Yuya Koroku defeated Rukiya with the Chicken Wing Arm Lock (6:46).
2. 2 Vs 3 Handicap Match: Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno defeated HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Iino submitted Hirata after the Pheromone Airport (12:12).
3. Hardcore Match: Chris Brookes & Sanshiro Takagi defeated Hideki Okatani & Kazuma Sumi when Brookes submitted Sumi with the Ground Octopus Stretch (10:33).
4. BURNING Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Yuki Ueno & MAO defeated Tetsuya Endo & Yusuke Okada when Ueno pinned Okada with the BME (9:43).
5. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama defeated Toy Kojima by Referee Stoppage with a Cross Armbreaker (10:23).
6. Kumamoto Specialty Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida defeated Kota Umeda & Takeshi Masada when Ishida pinned Masada with the Ensho (14:55).
7. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Yuji Hino, Makoto Oishi & Darkside HERO! defeated Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Shogun Okamoto when Hino pinned Paul with the Fuckin’ BOMB (18:37).

The mystery wrestler on the Ω team today was somebody who hasn’t been in DDT in some form since 2011 and even then his last true appearance happened before that. It was Darkside HERO! His sudden apperance turned the match against DAMNATION T.A into a mostly heel versus heel affair. It looked like DAMNATION T.A were on the way to winning as the dirtier team but Daisuke Sasaki missed a chairshot and accidentally hit Shogun Okamoto instead. Darkside HERO! took out Okamoto with the Somato and Yuji Hino sealed the deal by pinning MJ Paul with the Fuckin’ BOMB. Makoto Oishi told Darkside HERO! that if Ω are ever in trouble again they will call him for help. Darkside HERO! promised to rush over whenever that happens.

It’s only a few times a year when Kota Umeda wrestle in DDT so he wants to make them count. He was on the losing side when the other hometown wrestler Yuki Ishida pinned Takeshi Masada. Umeda is currently one-half of the Kyushu Pro Tag Team Champions and he feels he should not be losing this way. So if there is ever a chance, he wants Kazusada Higuchi & Ishida to challenge him for the belts. Higuchi thought of the same idea and thinks it might be an interesting direction to go.

Jun Akiyama taught Toy Kojima a painful lesson today but it is also meant to be a motivating one. He won their match by locking in a Cross Armbreaker and getting the referee to stop the bout to save Kojima from injury. According to Akiyama backstage, the message was to never give up on your feelings even when you fail. If Kojima wants to be in the match for the vacant KO-D Tag Team Titles then he should not forget how he feels today and fight with all his might. Yuki Ueno also gave encouraging comments about Kojima, saying it is his energy that will help them win the vacant titles.

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

May 27, 2023

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2023 TOUR IN HIROSHIMA”, 27/05/2023
Hiroshima JMS Aster Plaza
190 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno defeated Kazuma Sumi & Rukiya when Iino submitted Rukiya with the Cross Ass Sexy Lock Ass (7:38).
2. Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Yusuke Okada when Higuchi pinned Okada with the Brain Claw Press (7:47).
3. No DQ Match: MAO defeated Hideki Okatani with the Cannonball 450° on the Chair (10:22).
4. Special Single Match: Kenshin Chikano defeated Kazuki Hirata with a Right Middle Kick (13:21).
5. Hiroshima Specialty Special 6-Man Tag Match ~ Lucha Libre Rules: Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku defeated HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Rey Paloma when Akiyama submitted Paloma with the Exploder Suplex (10:59).
6. The 37KAMIINA Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Daisuke Sasaki & MJ Paul defeated Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima when Paul pinned Kojima with the Death Valley Bomb (9:01).
7. Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada defeated Yuji Hino & Makoto Oishi when Brookes subitted Oishi with the Ground Octopus Stretch (15:15).

First blood goes to Chris Brookes but he told the fans afterwards today’s result does not mean much because he beat Makoto Oishi instead of Yuji Hino. Backstage Hino agreed, pointing out that even his kid can beat Oishi. Takeshi Masada is happy to team with Brookes and winning matches with them.

With ShunMao vacating the KO-D Tag Team Titles and stepping away from the division due to Shunma Katsumata’s injury, the team of Yuki Ueno & Toy Kojima have stepped forward on behalf of The 37KAMIINA and joined the race to crown new champions. They did not get off to a good start after they lost to DAMNATION T.A.

If you want to know how an Exploder Suplex counts as a submission move, Rey Paloma gave up out of fear when Jun Akiyama was about to use the move on him.

Kazuki Hirata and Kenshin Chikano have known each other for 16 years but today was their first singles match against each other. Hirata said the match took so much from him he might not be able to wrestle tomorrow.

Peter Pan Main Event, Shunma Injured, KO-D Tag And Extreme Titles Vacated

May 22, 2023

Not sure what this bit of news will end up being but DDT will have a “big announcement” revealed on their Youtube channel this Wednesday. What it is or if they are being honest by calling it big I do not know. The synopsis on the video’s page does not provide any clues as far as I can see. A previous kind of tease they did like this was the announcement of “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022” last year so maybe this one could be related to “ULTIMATE PARTY 2023” in November?

BASARA “BASARA 219 ~KOO~”, 23/05/2023

1. Special Tag Match ~ Gatoh Move Vs DDT’s Comical Strongest Tag: Masahiro Takanashi & Mei Suruga Vs Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata
2. Special Tag Match: Yuji Hino & Makoto Oishi Vs Chris Brookes & Kazusada Higuchi

The two King Of DDT finalists are teaming up! Kazusada Higuchi publicly congratulated Brookes at a press conference today and offered to help him in any form to prepare for Hino.

Some of the matches previously announced for this show had to be cancelled due to injuries changing DDT’s places. The new matches will be announced soon.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: X Vs X
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: X & X Vs X & X

The original plan was for ShunMao to defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles on this show. However Shunma Katsumata injured his foot during yesterday’s DDT Extreme Title defence and has since been diagnosed with a fractured talus bone. He is going to get surgery for it and agreed to vacate both the KO-D Tag Titles and the Extreme Title. New champions for both titles will be crowned on the Korakuen Hall show instead.

Nick Wayne will be on the show, kicking off his tour of Japan with DDT.

DDT “DDT YOKOHAMA UNLIMITED SPECIAL”, 01/07/2023
Yokohama Radiant Hall

Tokyo Ota Ward Gymnasium

1. Miyu Yamashita Vs Sawyer Wreck
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Maki Itoh

Miyu Yamashita’s first match back in Tokyo after three and a half months will be against the returning Sawyer Wreck. Yamashita has hit the Skull Kick on tall opponents before so she is confident she can hit Wreck with it too.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2023”, 23/07/2023
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special Tag Match: Chiitan☆ & Pokotan Vs Andreza Giant Panda & Super Sasadango Machine
2. Dramatic Dream Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs El Desperado
3. DDT Universal Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Matt Cardona (w/ Steph De Lander)
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuji Hino (c) Vs Chris Brookes

In today’s press conference Brookes said all four people he beat to win the King Of DDT (HARASHIMA, Sanshiro Takagi, Jun Akiyama and Kazusada Higuchi) all mean a lot to him and are also big parts of DDT’s history. The cheers of the fans also pushed him to victory which makes him feel even happier to be with DDT. The last time he wrestled in Sumo Hall was a year ago when he and Masahiro Takanashi won the KO-D Tag Titles. His parents were there to see him wrestle and he remembers telling them the next time he has a match there it will be in the main event with the KO-D Title on the line! He knows how strong Hino is but has become confident he can beat him.

Tetsuya Endo was not pleased to find out the big ex-WWE wrestler coming to challenge him is Matt Cardona. He heard Cardona is being paid 30 million yen for the booking and he thinks that kind of money is better off being spent on someone else. Like himself for example. Cardona is also bringing along Steph De Lander to be in his corner. She’s been described as his Sensational Sherri equivalent (since WWE took away his “Miss Elizabeth“, aka Chelsea Green) and will certainly add an extra threat towards Endo’s DDT Universal Title reign.

DDT is running a competition for fans to come up with a tag team name for Chiitan & Pokotan.
