All three wrestlers in the upcoming KO-D Openweight and DDT Universal Double Title match were at today’s show to sign their contracts for the bout on 25th January. Daisuke Sasaki complained about Yuki Ueno taking time off to deal with a calf injury. He predicts Ueno will use that as his excuse for losing his championships and tell fans at least it was an exicting match. He also claims to see through Chris Brookes and knows Brookes is going to target Ueno’s weaknesses just like he will. Brookes responded in English and had Antonio Honda interpret for him. He said Ueno having so many championships and attention means the company is not DDT anymore, it is now Dramatic Ueno Team. Brookes wants to change that by taking either or even both titles from him. However Honda’s translation was Brookes thanking Ueno for seeing Honda’s play last year and then telling Sasaki that Aya Ueto is Nerima’s hero, not him. Ueno apologised for the trouble his injury is causing and wants to wrestle right now. He promises he will be fully prepared for the match and there won’t be any excuses if he loses even one championship. He appreciates having opponents like Sasaki and Brookes targeting him.

The main event had Sasaki and Brookes fight each other while Ueno watched on from a distance. Sasaki hit Brookes with a chair and then followed with a Dragon Suplex for Hideki Okatani to finish the job. But HARASHIMA was there to hit Okatani with the Somato, allowing Brookes to then pin him with the Praying Mantis Bomb. After the match Brookes told Ueno that the Dramatic Ueno Team is over. DDT will noew be the Fundora Dream Team! Honda then said Brookes will win both championships at Korakuen Hall and FANTÔMES DRAMATIC will then win even more titles after that. By the end of it all Ueno will have is a sore back! Sasaki later accused Brookes of not looking to be in good shape either. He thinks Brookes will have excuses for losing the title match just like Ueno will so he is putting out an offer. All Sasaki wants is to make Ueno suffer so he and Brookes should team up and take everything from Ueno together so he will have nothing left to do but go freeze to death in a park!

The Apex are as confident as they can be that they will win the KO-D Tag Team Titles back from Strange Love Connection. After Yukio Naya pinned KANON, he told SLC to enjoy being champions for one more week because The Apex will definitely beat them next week. Yuki Iino said he can already see the belts wrapped around their waists again. MAO figured out why KANON lost to Naya today when in the past KANON would normally win against him. Naya’s strengths are he is big and stupid. KANON is big too but not as stupid so MAO thinks KANON will need to act even stupider than that idiot to win next week! MAO can do that on a dime but KANON hasn’t learned how to reach that level yet. MAO promises that a stupid KANON will appear in order to beat The Apex.

The A Block was the focus for today’s D GENERATIONS CUP matches. A time limit draw between To-y and Yuki Ishida means Daichi Sato got to take the top spot by himself after he beat Ilusion. Ishida was seconds away from beating To-y with the Ensho but was not in good enough shape to pin him in time before the time expired. To-y is currently in the better position right now because he has only wrestled twice and not lost a match while this was Ishida’s third match and he already has a defeat on his record. To-y still wants a rematch with him though. Sato is now in the driver’s seat with two wins out of two. Ilusion taunted him over his weight and was made to regret it when Sato beat him with a Rolling Elbow Butt.

Before Match #2 began, Kazuki Hirata declared that D GENERATIONS (which he thinks he is a part of) are now the present of DDT and are leading a revolution. Hisaya Imabayashi was convinced by his speech and said he wants to join in so he and another member of staff named Sekizuka purposely interfered during the match, attacking Akito in particular. Even Yukinori Matsui revealed his true colours when he held up on counting pinfalls for Akito. That caused Daisuke Kiso to get into the ring and give Matsui a Dragon Screw. Kiso took over officiating the match, counting fair and square when the D GENERATIONS team won anyway. Imabayashi & Sekizuka joined in the celebration with the winning team afterwards.

*V4 for Yuki Ueno.

The penultimate DDT title match of 2025 came and went with Yuki Ueno still standing tall as a double singles champion. He put the KO-D Openweight Title on the line against Takeshi Masada who already had an uphill battle going into the show with being a convincing challenger. His big chance came after hitting a combo of Thrust Kick, Flying Knee Strike and a Triangle Kick. With Ueno in trouble, Masada used his finisher the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki. Ueno kicked out though and made the comeback starting with an Avalanche Frankensteiner. Death by Dropkick came for Masada and Ueno used the WR to finish him off and defend the title.

Ueno gave Masada some encouragement afterwards and told him he has very high hopes that Masada will show a side to him as a pro wrestler that nobody has ever seen before. However even if Masada can one day beat Ueno, Ueno said Masada will never surpass him. Daisuke Sasaki then entered the ring promising not to attack Ueno because he is here on serious business. He wants to challenge Ueno to a title match fair and square. He offered Ueno a handshake only to kick him below the belt. As he went to give Ueno the Pedigree, Chris Brookes ran into the ring to stop him. He then slapped Ueno because he’s also here to demand a title shot. Ueno said he would fight both of them and it doesn’t matter if the KO-D Title or DDT Universal Title will be put on the line. Everyone started arguing with each other until Akito interrupted them. As a CyberFight Director, he had the power to come up with a solution. On 25th January there will be a 3 Way Match between Ueno, Sasaki and Brookes. But the match will last for two falls, the first with the Universal Title on the line and the second will have the KO-D Title on the line! Ueno will need to win both falls if he wants to defend both of his championships. The situation makes Ueno realize how precious both life and pro wrestling are. Sasaki thinks he has good odds of winning both titles because he is a “3 Way Magician”.

Masada also came to a realization after the main event that it is time for him to try something new. He is going to quit SCHADENFREUDE International! He explained to Brookes he’s been stuck repeating the same loop lately and it won’t change unless he steps into a new environment. He needs to free himself in order to enjoy being in DDT. Brookes understood and told Masada he can leave the unit on 3rd January because doing it here right now wouldn’t be a good way to end his membership.

A tricky tag team from outside of DDT was here for Strange Love Connection to try and solve. F-SWAG’s matches have a pace that matches SLC with plenty of fancy teamwork of their own to go along with other antics that can throw the opposition off balance. Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox almost became the new KO-D Tag Team Champions when they gave MAO the F-DRIVE II but KANON broke the pin. F-SWAG then went to cheat as Gaia Hox hit KANON over the head with a wet floor sign. However KANON turned the tables and got to pin Hox with the LONELY DEZIRES for a successful title defence. SLC enjoyed the match though and told F-SWAG they can come back to DDT again.

SLC are ending the year as tag champs and were talking about what they could look forward to in 2026 when suddenly Yuki Iino walked down to the ring searching around for something. He climbed inside, realized MAO was who he was looking for and then he Speared him! Yukio Naya got into the ring yelling at Iino to stop getting ahead of himself. He explained that ever since The Apex lost the titles to SLC, Iino cannot stop thinking about MAO and keeps saying his name over and over. MAO remembered that Iino previously acted the same way towards Chihiro Hashimoto and realized this means he has now become Iino’s rival. He’s happy to learn that. Both teams agreed that the Survival 3 Way Match at Sumo Hall last month wasn’t enough for them so SLC agreed to face The Apex in a KO-D Tag Titles match on 25th January.

To-y has regained the DDT Extreme Title that he never officially lost. Yasu Urano stole the belt and manipulated his way into behaving like a champion while To-y was tricked into acting like he was now the challenger. The match they had was structured into two minute long rounds where every round the match needed to end with a particular wrestling move randomly picked out of a list of fan suggestions. Round 1 was basic enough because the move was simply to slap the opponent. Round 2 suddenly became difficult when the finisher became the Gorgeous Superstar Elbow. To-y was able to pull off something kind of like the move but it wasn’t similar enough to count. Round 3 gave the advantage to Urano because the move was the Reverse Hold/Backslide Pin. To-y was able to survive into Round 4 where his finisher the Kojima Wonderland was now chosen. He hit the move but couldn’t get the three count with it. Round 5 turned into a challenge because the chosen move was the Referee Brainbuster. Yukinori Matsui needed to Suplex one of the wrestlers but he didn’t have the strength for it. Outside the ring To-y gave Matsui a boost by Kancho poking him into Suplexing Urano. To-y then placed Urano on the top turnbuckle and physically helped Matsui do a Hijack Brainbuster. That counted so To-y pinned Urano for the three count to get his belt back and officially remain champion. He now wants to find an even more extreme kind of wrestling to continue his reign.

Everything’s just going so great for Kaisei Takechi lately, isn’t it? He’s booked for the Tokyo Dome soon, last week he won the Best Newcomer category in the annual Tokyo Sports Awards and today he got to wrestle Yuji Nagata to continue his climb up the pro wrestling industry. Takechi got to team with HARASHIMA in the match while Nagata had Sanshiro Takagi as his partner. That is decades and decades of experience in all sorts for Takechi to learn off of. Takagi dragged him up the aisles so he could then run him over in the Dramatic Dream bike. Back in the ring Nagata unleashed his Middle Kicks and also an Exploder Suplex as his way to toughen up Takechi. But with HARASHIMA’s help Takechi got the upper hand on Takagi and he hit the Swan Dive Forearm to get the victory. Nagata praised Takechi for having guts and he told him to do his best on 4th January. Takechi said he is still a rookie but his passion and determination are unmatched. He still wants more ring time so he asked Takagi if he could get booked for the 25th January Korakuen Hall show. Takagi told him if he’s that willing to immerse himself into wrestling then it shall be done. Backstage Nagata spoke positively about Takechi and how he showed he is more than just good looks. He thinks what will happen to Takechi at the Tokyo Dome will be a valuable experience for him no matter if it turns out positive or negative.

SCHADENFREUDE International wanted to play the hits early in the 3 Way Trios match but Yuki Ishida stopped Antonio Honda from telling a Gongitsune joke. Things then got weird when Shinya Aoki stopped Iino from doing The Apex Elbow by trying to bite his pec for some reason. Brookes & Honda got everyone to form a human pyramid in the ring then Hinata Kasai pulled the rubber band spot on Ishida & Kazusada Higuchi. Brookes found himself in trouble when Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura chopped him back and forth. SCHADENFREUDE led a train attack (which included Bunbun) on Aoki but it stopped when Honda tripped and hurt his knee. He told his Gongitsune joke and led his team into doing Bionic Elbows but they all missed. Iino went on to pin Kasai with The Apex Elbow while Naya grabbed Aoki and held him up off the mat so he would stop getting in the way.

Kazuki Hirata knew what his fate was going to be today but he wouldn’t let that ruin his last match at Korakuen Hall for the year. He interrupted Toru Owashi’s entrance with his own so he could dance to the ring, unaware that Owashi was so mad he was going to hit him with a chair if Matsui wasn’t there to stop him. Hirata told the rest of the team they should fight DAMNATION T.A like heels so he tried to attack Daisuke Sasaki with a chair only to immediately fall into the Cross Facelock and give up. Hirata then asked if DAMNATION T.A really wanted that to be their last Korakuen match of the year? The question convinced them to restart the match with the other team back to behaving as faces. They did a train attack on Hideki Okatani only for Hirata to miss his charge. When things were going south for them, Hirata unmasked Super Sasadango Machine to reveal heel face paint underneath! He then pulled down the back of Dieno’s tights to also reveal heel face paint on his rear end. Hirata got a face full of it instead of Demus and Ilusion then pinned him with the Swanton Bomb. Sasaki grabbed the chair and hit Dieno in the backside with it afterwards.

Minoru Suzuki was back in DDT looking to fight Jun Akiyama. Despite the two of them starting off the match, Yuya Koroku was quick to tag in. When Suzuki tagged Akito, Koroku knocked him off the apron which set him off. Akito threw Koroku out of the ring so Suzuki could start a brawl with him around ringside with chairs being knocked about everywhere. Akiyama got involved to settle things down and bring the match back into the ring. Koroku had his arm worked over by both of his opponents but used a Waterwheel Drop on Akito to tag in Akiyama. When Koroku got his breath back he tried fighting Suzuki again, using a Wrist-Clutch STO for a nearfall. Suzuki avoided an attempt at the Triangle Lancer and dropped Koroku down with the Gotch-Style Piledriver to get the win.

The dark match was Yuni’s return to action having been away from the ring since August. He started the match off with Daichi Sato and was almost German Suplexed away after Sato caught his Space Rolling Elbow attempt. Tomomitsu Matsunaga took a moment in between hitting Yuni to tell him how jealous he is that Yuni got into Sophia University. He, Sato & Rukiya then targeted Soma Takao who wasn’t in the best condition because of his knee. Yuni & Kazuma Sumi came to the rescue with some high flying moves, allowing Takao to constantly roll up Matsunaga with the Official Endless Waltz until he got the three count.

After the dark match Yuni told the audience he was accepted into university and is looking forward to enjoying his time both there and in pro wrestling. NωA Jr. then wished Takao the best of luck before performing their new single “Mikansei NEXT”.

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~SERI HOYA HYOTAN-AGE~”, 14/12/2025
Miyagi Yume Messe Miyagi
??? Fans – Unannounced

1. Ilusion defeated Hinata Kasai with the Swanton Bomb (8:57).
2. 3 Way Match: To-y defeated Danshoku Dieno and Kazuki Hirata when To-y pinned Hirata with a Cradle (8:24).
3. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Demus defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Chris Brookes & Daichi Sato when Paul pinned Sato with the Reverse Splash (12:45).
4. Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya defeated Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku when Iino pinned Koroku with the Spear (11:30).
5. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Akito defeated Takeshi Masada & Yuki Ishida when Akito submitted Ishida with the Figure 4 Leg Lock (17:01).
6. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated HARASHIMA & Kazuma Sumi when MAO pinned Sumi with a Running Palm Strike (18:29).

It’s a good thing this show happened in MAO’s neck of the woods because he might be the only DDT wrestler to get away with the property damage that was done in the main event. As the ambassador for Osaki City in Miyagi, he did a Springboard Moonsault to the outside and clipped his foot off of the sprinkler system hanging above the ring, causing it to open up a leak onto the floor below. KANON did his best to cup his hands together and collect the dripping water while MAO went on to pin Kazuma Sumi to give Strange Love Connection the victory. MAO wanted everyone to forget about the accident he just caused he told the fans he wants DDT to run even bigger venues in the area like the Sendai Sun Plaza while they go on their journey towards the Tokyo Dome. Also during the main event HARASHIMA paid tribute to the now retired John Cena by doing the “You Can’t See Me” pose to MAO.

Perhaps he is feeling the pressure or maybe he was recently humbled but Takeshi Masada kept a calm posture while fighting Yuki Ueno. He didn’t fall for any of Ueno’s attempts to provoke him. Instead it was Yuki Ishida who became fired up by Ueno’s actions during the match. Ishida ended up tapping out to Akito and afterwards complained to Ishida about him being so passive today. He admits it is just sour grapes though and he reminded Masada he has the confidence needed to fight Ueno for the KO-D Openweight Title. Out of everyone in D GENERATIONS, Ishida believes Masada is the closest to winning the belt right now so he should be fighting with his heart from here on out. Masada understood and then called out Ueno, telling him he will go back to being himself for their title match. Ueno said he is looking forward to it but told Masada he needs to bring it on.

Danshoku Dieno noticed how upset To-y has been ever since Yasu Urano stole the DDT Extreme Title belt away from him. To cheer him up, Dieno went over to the ring announced Task Ono and stripped his belt from his trousers. Dieno then held up the belt and said the 3 Way Match was now for the brand new (yet unofficial) Open The Dream Messe Championship! Dieno then attacked the other wrestlers with the belt, encouraging To-y to take Yukinori Matsui’s belt to use as a weapon while Kazuki Hirata went into the audience asking for their belts to borrow. To-y ended up winning the match and becoming the inaugural “champion”. He declared when he beats Urano to get the Extreme Title belt back he will unify it with all of the belts that were collected today in order to become a Six Crown Champion!

Hideki Okatani missed the show because of illness. MJ Paul replaced him in Match #3 and even scored the winning fall for his team.


DDT “GO UPDATE 2025” Results

December 3, 2025

DDT “GO UPDATE 2025”, 03/12/2025
Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans

1. Soma Takao & Shota defeated Yuya Koroku & Hinata Kasai when Takao pinned Kasai with the Mad Splash (8:31).
2. Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda defeated Danshoku Dieno & Kazuki Hirata when Honda pinned Hirata with the Analgitsune (10:52).
3. The Apex Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya defeated Hideki Okatani & Demus when Naya pinned Demus with The World’s Best Back Drop (9:55).
4. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated HARASHIMA, Akito & Kumadori when Ilusion pinned Kumadori with the Swanton Bomb (11:14).
5. Kazusada Higuchi, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida defeated Jun Akiyama, Sanshiro Takagi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Ishida pinned Matsunaga with the Buchikamashi (8:18).
6. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Masaoka, Gaia Hox & Rukiya defeated MAO, KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Kazuma Sumi when Masaoka pinned Sumi after the F-DRIVE II (13:37).
7. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & To-y defeated Takeshi Masada & Yasu Urano by Referee Stoppage when Ueno used the Blackout Sleeper on Masada (22:07).

A decisive victory for Yuki Ueno over Takeshi Masada results in a growing cloud that is hovering over Masada’s KO-D Openweight Title shot. He is already fighting to prove he is a deserving challenger after winning a Rock Paper Scissors tournament to earn the shot. Also the promos he is currently cutting to convince everyone he can win are not convincing Ueno. So when Ueno choked out Masada with the Blackout Sleeper in the main event, Masada tried to start another fight after being revived only to be held back by the others. Ueno was happy to see him showing some spirit but told him that being the champion means more than just wearing the title belt around your waist and defending it in matches. The champion needs to carry everything in the company on their shoulders, including the fans and the opponents. It will be up to Masada to fight Ueno using his own style of wrestling and nothing else. Masada said in that brief moment he was unconscious, he had a dream where he was wearing the KO-D Title. He promised to win the title with all of his might for everyone who supports him.

The main event also had a situation take place over the DDT Extreme Title. After the match Yasu Urano offered to wrap the belt around To-y’s waist in a show of good sportsmanship but he then pulled the belt off him and ran off with it! Urano then approached Akito at the very end of the show to tell him he is the new champion. To-y came back out complaining that Urano stole the belt so Akito decided there will be a title match between To-y and Urano on 21st December. However Urano asked the fans if there is a better time for him to “defend” the title. The fans shouted to do it now so Urano told Yukinori Matsui to come in and start the match! Urano quickly won with a Backslide Pin but Akito told him it was not an unofficial title bout and you cannot win the Extreme Title the same way you would the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. He told Urano to hand the belt back to To-y and they will have the official title match on the 21st. However To-y was confused because he just “lost” a match and he now feels like a challenger instead of the champion. Urano decided to keep the belt for himself as the unofficial champion, then told To-y to forget everything that happened up to now and change his attitude into that of a challenger.

Unlike Masada and To-y, the F-SWAG tag team are overly confident that they will win the KO-D Tag Team Titles from Strange Love Connection in one shot. They have friends who work in DDT, some of whom are currently injured and others who are wrestling abroad. They would love nothing more than to defend the tag belts against them in the future. Jun Masaoka believes DDT will be more fun if F-SWAG become the champs while Gaia Hox has been waiting so long to be a part of DDT. F-SWAG came off looking better than the champs in today’s 6-Man Tag Match and shot another warning that they aren’t just here to have fun. However MAO thinks he and KANON are both bigger and faster than their opponents so the physical difference between the two teams will be the deciding factor on 21st December.

The cancelled Kumadori Vs Ilusion singles match is back on the menu, boys! During Match #4 Ilusion gave Kumadori several kinds of low blows on the way to pinning him with the Swanton Bomb. Then afterwards he got on the microphone to demand a singles match against him on Christmas Eve! He dared Kumadori to stand before him without using lame excuses like injuries or illnesses. Kumadori said he will beat Ilusion to a pulp when he finally gets his hands on him one on one.

A new song from NωA Jr. called “Fukanzen NEXT” will be released on 21st December. It was also announced that the band P-manjiken will be performing at their concert on 23rd December. That is the band that made Shunma Katsumata’s entrance song.

6. 18th Anniversary Special Single Match ~ A Match Of Hate?: Chris Brookes Vs Zack Sabre Jr. ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).
7. Mr. Bueno & MAO defeated Chris Brookes & Zack Sabre Jr. when Bueno pinned Brookes with a Diving Body Press from the human pyramid (?:??).

Let’s give it up for Chris Brookes making it to 18 years in the wrestling business! Let’s give it up to Baka Gaijin + Friends for making it to three years too. The third anniversary for this island of misfit toys was held away from the usual home of ARENA Shimokitazawa. They went for a bigger room this time by going to Shinjuku FACE but still held the show without a ring to keep it as the genuine article.

The main event was Brookes taking on someone who was kept a mystery to the fans until it was time for his entrance. It was Zack Sabre Jr.! The name of the bout was “A Match Of Hate?” and the two showed no mercy to each other by fighting amongst the crowd. Sabre’s close friend Antonio Honda had no choice but to do the rubber band spot to him while Brookes also dropped a child onto Sabre’s prone body afterwards. Sabre got some of his own licks in by Back Body Dropping Brookes onto the venue’s counter before bringing him back to the centre of the room to further pick Brookes apart. The two continued to go back and forth until Brookes gave Sabre the Praying Mantis Bomb and the bell rang to signal a time limit draw.

The action didn’t stop there because after the match MAO interrupted Brookes on the microphone and started arguing with him. Mr. Bueno ran down to bring peace but was left insulted when Sabre told him to fuck off. Everyone then started telling each other to fuck off until MAO & Bueno agreed to fight Brookes & Sabre, starting an impromptu bonus tag match! More chaotic brawling followed and screeched to a halt when Sabre tripped over the mat and hurt his knee. Honda got on the microphone to tell a Gongitsune joke only for MAO to stop him. MAO then summoned all of the other wrestlers on the show to lead a train attack at Sabre seated in the remains of the front row. That ended when Minoemon stopped himself in front of Sabre to tell him he was Minoru Suzuki in disguise! The two hugged and launched a counter attack on everyone, Brookes included. Their rampage was stopped with a fire extinguisher attack from Takagi Sanshirobo, which then resulted in Takayuki Ueki & Munetatsu Nakamura entering the room as cops. They suddenly held everyone at gunpoint threatening to shut the show down. MAO disarmed Nakamura but tragedy struck during the scramble to get the other gun from Ueki. Brookes succeeded in grabbing the gun but accidentally shot Sabre in the process! Brookes cradled the wounded Sabure in his arms until Sabre fainted. Out of desperation, Brookes charged the other team only to get knocked out by MAO’s Hurricane Kick. Bueno then threw Takeshi Masada on top of Brookes and ordered all of the other wrestlers to form a pyramid for him to climb. From the top of the pyramid, Bueno thanked the fans and jumped off to hit a Diving Body Press onto Masada and Brookes. He then pinned Brookes for the victory. After the match Brookes revived Sabre by pouring a can of beer into his mouth.

The stakes were high for the fated singles battle between Mr. Malo and Mr. Bueno. First, the BK-G Openweight Title held by Malo was on the line. Not only that but the loser of the match would have to unmask! Bueno had Malo’s cheating scouted yet respectfully kept allowing Malo to get back to his feet so they could fight on even terms. His good sportsmanship almost blew the match for him when Malo used the ref Daisuke Kiso to shield himself and then Low Blow his opponent after Kiso was thrown aside. But Bueno kicked out of a DDT and the Unprettier. He then got his momnentum back through a series of cradles that ended with him pinning Malo with a Hurricanrana to win the championship! Still, Bueno was too much of a good person to unmask his opponent afterwards, instead allowing Malo to take off the mask himself. Malo placed his poncho over his head and pulled the mask off. He then removed the poncho to reveal he is now wearing a white mask instead of his black on. Bueno couldn’t believe what he saw until he found the words to tell everyone what he was looking at… “My brother? I thought you died. I’m so happy!” The two brothers, now united, hugged to the applause of everyone in the room.

The Great Baka Mecha Wars couldn’t wait for all of the participants to be involved before it began. Mecha MAO and Takagi Sanshirobo immediately went to fight each other but soon the third fighter appeared. It was Minoemon, who as mentioned above was Minoru Suzuki disguised as the anime character Doraemon. He sat around with a bag of groceries, drinking beer and eating dorayaki until the other two robots attacked him. Minoemon and Sanshirobo brawled in the crowd while Mecha MAO stacked up some plastic cases and set out a table on top of them in the middle of the room. Mecha MAO and Sanshirobo then formed their own Megazord combination but it was all ruined when Minoemon poured water over the both of them. Mecha MAO short circuited around the room while Minoemon gave Sanshirobo the Gotch-Style Piledriver through the table and plastic cases to win the Mecha War.

The Brahman Brothers made a mess of their own with their match against Ueki’s Magic Kingdom. Things were made even worse when Karate Brahman decided to wipe natto all over his head. Dark King Ueki, Munek & Princess Ram all getting blinded with powder after that counts as a mercy killing in my book. I guess the damsel in distress who was kidnapped by the kingdom before the match was rescued as a result but it was anything but happy ever after.

Three members of the Daisetz band teamed up with one of their adoring fans in an 8-Man Tag Match. Chie Koishikawa was running around waving lightsticks for Antonio Honda, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Hagane Shinno during their entrance. Facing them were the international foursome of Baliyan Akki from India, Shivam & Jonathan Johnson from Thailand and Sayaka from Japan. The two sides ended up getting into a Bionic Elbow duel. Everything then broke down until the Egg Tart team of Shinno & Koishikawa double cradled Sayaka for the pinfall.

The show opened with Shunma Katsumata announcing a Baka Battle Royal full of surprise entrants. Fuminori Abe and HARASHIMA started things off then were quickly joined by Shota and K4PY. Then Kota Sekifuda appeared carrying a large snake! He chased the wrestlers into the crowd where Abe picked up a child to hold up near the snake. HARASHIMA forced Abe to apologise while Sekifuda continued scaring everyone with his pet, even making Yukinori Matsui tap out even though he wasn’t part of the match. HARASHIMA finally put a stop to things by putting Sekifuda in a Cobra Twist while the snake was twisting itself around Sekifuda. He gave up and was the first elimination from the match. Shota was the next one gone when he and Takeshi Masada fought over a Backslide Pin. Abe kicked Masada in the stomach, unintentionally helping him roll Shota over for the pinfall. Suddenly danger happened when Dr. Cube entered the Battel along with two Kaiju from his posse: Erebus & Eargernon II. Together they ran wild on the other wrestlers and eliminated Abe, Masada and K4PY all at once. HARASHIMA showed shades of HERO! in trying to fight Dr Cube’s Posse off but he too also fell to them. It was all up to Shin Suzuki to save the day as the final entrant. He grabbed Dr. Cube’s helmet and twisted it off, removing his grisly face beneath and knocking him out with a neck snap in the process. He then pinned Erebus with the Takatonic to fully eliminate the Posse, making him the last man standing.

A sold out crowd gathered together in Mie to see the hometown boy Kazuma Sumi in action. His day in the spotlight had him getting stuck into the Strange Love Connection versus DAMNATION T.A feud. While KANON and Hideki Okatani continued their grudge, Sumi did double team work with MAO to overcome their cheating opponents. Ilusion missed the Swanton Bomb aimed for Sumi while MAO wiped out the rest of DAMNATION T.A with a dive out of the ring. Sumi took the chance and hit the Reverse 450 Splash on Ilusion to score a big victory. He credited SLC for helping him win today yet couldn’t help but look at their KO-D Tag Team Title belts during his speech. He promised the next time he wrestles in Mie, he will be a singles champion and an even stronger wrestler!

In the 3 Way Match, HARASHIMA hit the Somato on Akito and Kazuki Hirata at the same time and pinned both of them while they were stacked on each other. When Yukinori Matsui counted to three, he ruled that the pinfall was for Akito because he was laying right on top of Hirata despite HARASHIMA being on top of the pile.

*V2 for Yuki Ueno. Minoru Suzuki fails at V6. Yuki Ueno becomes the 19th DDT Universal Champion!

Everyone in DDT can now breath a sigh of relief. Yuki Ueno was able to clean up the mess he caused in the first place as promised and for that he now stands on top of the company as both the KO-D Openweight Champion and now the DDT Universal Champion! That now makes him the first person to hold both of those belts at the same time. Minoru Suzuki made him fight for it and nearly took his leg off in the process. He targeted Ueno’s left leg throughout the match including attacking it with a chair and using an extended chain of submissions to try and make him kick. Ueno brought out moves like the Blizzard Suplex and the Bastard Driver but couldn’t go for the pin after using the WR. Suzuki wanted to take advantage of it but Ueno planted Dropkick right to his face before slamming him down with another WR. Suzuki kicked out but Ueno then jumped off the top rope with the Frog Splash and that was the end of it.

As Suzuki was leaving the ring in defeat, Ueno got on the microphone and thanked him because despite being different from each other, Suzuki still always treated Ueno like a pro wrestler. Suzuki will be welcomed back into DDT so they can fight again whenever he wants. Ueno is also looking forward with new goals in mind. First he wants to inspire everyone with his wrestling because watching wrestling will always make your day better. The other goal is he wants to bring DDT to the Tokyo Dome with all of his friends and colleagues from the company involved! Until that day comes DDT will always have their monthly Korakuen Hall shows and yearly visits to Sumo Hall where everyone will continue working hard and having fun.

Ueno then asked if there was anyone out there who wants to be next to challenge him? Suddenly Super Sasadango Machine appeared with an unexpected PowerPoint Presentation to show everyone. He admitted it was a good thing Ueno won his match because if he didn’t then Sasadango wasted his time making it. During the presentation Sasadango talked about Ueno being a respectable public figure in both wrestling and the entertainment industry but it is all a lie! His proof is when Sasadango fought Ueno nearly one year ago, Sasadango used thumbtacks that ended up leaving an L-shaped scar on Ueno’s stomach. Ueno won the match and promised that if he ever became KO-D Champion again he would nominate Sasadango as his challenger and get revenge for the scar. Well now the L stands for Lie because Ueno became KO-D Champion twice in 2025 and he never once gave Sasadango the title shot he promised him! Ueno understood his complaint and accepted his challenge for a KO-D Title match. He also offered to put the Universal Title on the line because Sasadango’s other gimmick Muscle Sakai originally retired after wrestling Minoru Suzuki. Sasadango said he is ready to win both championships except he doesn’t have the energy right now so they can do the match at Korakuen on 30th November.

The show finished with the big ending where Ueno reunited with The 37KAMIINA at the entrance and then passed by many wrestlers in the hallway. Suzuki was among them and he told Ueno this isn’t the end between them. He then entered the dressing room but it was empty. Konosuke Takeshita followed him inside and the two talked about maybe doing a champion versus champion match with each other some day. The rest of the DDT roster started filling in, including Danshoku Dieno and they all ended the show with a big group farewell to the camera.

Takeshita made his big return to DDT as the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion fresh off of defending the belt on a New Japan show. Here he was teaming up with DDT’s next big superstar hope Kaisei Takechi facing a team of wrestlers they consider their respective rivals. Takeshita wanted to wrestle Kazusada Higuchi again while Takechi wanted to measure up with Takeshi Masada. While those two pairings were the focus of the match, there was a crossover of opponents that took place too. Takechi cut off a charge from Higuchi with the Swan Dive Forearm while Masada got a nearfall on Takeshita with the Masada No Chikara KOBU Mukimuki. Masada tried to weaken further with Middle Kicks but Takeshita blew him back with an Elbow Strike and stunned him with the Wagamama. Takechi was then able to keep Higuchi away while Takeshita pinned Masada with the Raging Fire.

Both sides showed respect to each other after the match but when Takeshita offered to shake hands with his own partner, Takechi slapped away his hand instead and the two had a stare down in the ring. Takeshita then walked off by himself. Backstage he said he felt how much his opponents have grown and he wanted this match to send a message to Higuchi that he still has a lot more to offer. He’s been keeping an eye on Takechi since he debut and thinks his behavior after the match was his way of saying he wants to fight him. Takechi pretty much confirmed it and said he will work hard everyday so they can stand in the same ring together again. Higuchi said the other team are getting a lot of attention but fans should not overlook Harimao or SCHADENFREUDE International too for that matter. Masada admitted to feeling jealous of Takechi but he will take this loss as a positive one for his wrestling career. He’ll look forward to the day he can get revenge.

There is no bond in wrestling closer than the one shared between Chris Brookes and Zack Sabre Jr… Ok, yeah that’s a lie. The two are pretty close friends and today was their first singles match against each other in eight years but something felt a little off. Yukinori Matsui was ever so slightly acting lenient towards Brookes while being ever so slightly harsh towards Sabre. It then turned scandalous when Sabre had Brookes pinned for certain victory yet Matsui suffered a crisis of conscience during the pinfall and couldn’t count to three. The lights dimmed and Matsui’s heart revealed tender moments spent with Brookes up on the arena screen. Things went south after a ref bump and Brookes summoned Munetatsu Nakamura to come in and attack Sabre. Antonio Honda followed with a chair but he too hesitated to take action. More scandal broke out when Honda’s heart revealed tender moments he has shared with Sabre on the screen! Honda then tried to attack Brookes with Gongitsune but missed and hit Sabre instead. The match continued and Brookes tried to use the Praying Mantis Bomb. Sabre flipped out of it and tangled his opponent into the European Clutch to get the three count. Afterwards the two of them kissed, made up and walked off back up the ramp hand in hand. They said they should do this again in another eight years time. Sabre questioned Brookes over the ethics of a wrestler romancing the referee while Brookes called Sabre being with Honda a forbidden love between NJPW and DDT. They suggested maybe the two couples fight each other in a tag match next time.

The last team standing in the Survival 3 Way would be going home with the KO-D Tag Team Titles. No tags were needed so the match was chaos when all three teams were involved. The Apex grabbed KIMIHIRO and threw him out of the ring onto the rest of Strange Love Connection. They were then targeted by Team 200kg particularly so Yuki Iino and Chihiro Hashimoto could fight each other again. Iino was able to knock down both Team 200kg wrestlers and went on to pin Yuu with the Spear for the first elimination. SLC had to find the power needed to beat The Apex and MAO found it in order to give Yukio Naya the Michinoku Driver II. Naya was also accidentally drilled with the Spear from Iino and KANON cause more damage by giving him the LONELY DEZIRES. MAO followed up with the Cannonball 450° for the win, earning SLC the KO-D Tag Titles for the first time in the team’s existence. KANON said he wants the team to become historic champions so the DDT fans will always remember them. MAO brought up being tag champions with Mike Bailey and VENY in the past. He wants KANON to keep climbing so he can stand shoulder to shoulder with those two. He also wants the team to cause a big stir so they can make more money! Yuu felt regret over not being able to win a DDT championship for Team 200kg’s only appearance on a DDT Ryogoku show. Hashimoto enjoyed the experience but noticed Iino became quiet whenever they were in the ring together. She might continue showing up in DDT just so she can beat him again.

Daisuke Sasaki’s important match of the show went from one end of the spectrum all the way to the other because of Dasnhoku Dieno’s health problems. With Dieno unable to wrestle, Sasaki instead face AMAKUSA, the current persona of his SUPER CREW classmate from 20 years ago Yuki Sato. However AMAKUSA was all in on his current gimmick and had no memory of who Sasaki was. Sasaki tried cheating to win but when that wasn’t getting him the results he wanted, he then took a page out of Dieno’s book and gave AMAKUSA the Lip Lock! He then teased a set up of the Danshoku Driver but instead used his old NOW OR NEVER finisher for a nearfall. AMAKUSA survived taking La Mistica Crossface Lock and used an Elevated Magistral Driver followed by the Pedigree. That was all to put Sasaki in position for AMAKUSA’s Spiral Tap style finisher, the Kaikoku for the victory.

After the match AMAKUSA got on the microphone to remind everyone he has no past but the match he just had rekindled a memory of fighting Sasaki in a small venue twenty years ago. It was both their first match and now twenty years later they got to have a match together in Ryogoku! AMAKUSA has never felt more grateful for pro wrestling than he does today. The two shook hands and hugged while Sasaki told “Sato” not to cry. He said it doesn’t matter if the person in front of him is Yuki Sato or AMAKUSA but his kiss definitely tasted like Sato. AMAKUSA said he doesn’t remember that part of the match. What he does hope to remember though is meeting Sasaki again 25 years from now. Sasaki brought up all the different times they wrestled anniversary matches with each other, the previous being six years ago. He admits the things AMAKUSA has done in NOAH since then means AMAKUSA has surpassed him but he will always have battles with Yuki Sato.

After spending the last 10 months in NOAH, Tetsuya Endo returned to DDT for a day for the other DDT Vs NOAH match of the show. He teamed up with NOAH wrestlers HAYATA & Junta Miyawaki to take on his former allies from BURNING along with Shinya Aoki. There was a little extra BURNING energy on display when Yuya Koroku use Yusuke Okada’s Intercept DDT on Endo. Aoki then did a dive out of the ring to wipe out Endo & HAYATA. Miyawaki tried to tough it out against Jun Akiyama but he eventually fell to the Knee Lift and Exploder Suplex. Endo said the buds he is nurturing in NOAH this year haven’t blossomed yet. He is going to spend a little more time in NOAH so he can bring back the best gift possible for DDT, the GHC Heavyweight Title! However Koroku felt disappointed that Endo wouldn’t even look at him during the match because at last year’s “ULTIMATE PARTY” they were challenging for the KO-D Tag Titles. He wants to get better so Endo will set his sights on him the next time they are in the ring together.

Swerve! We all thought the Blindfold Death Match meant all five wrestlers involved would fight each other while blindfolded. However none of them actually wanted to go through with the stipulation so it was decided that the referee would be blindfolded instead! Yukinori Matsui had no vision whatsoever so he missed out of different finishes as well as weapon usage and other blatant cheating. To-y fought off his four challengers and even had Kazuki Hirata beat when suddenly two masked men that turned out to be Hirata’s hired goons interfered. Matsui tripped over Hirata which then caused Antonio Honda to trip over him. Matsui later walked right into a bear trap which caused Daisuke Kiso to come down as the replacement. He too was blindfolded and had to be led down to the ring by HARASHIMA. Sasadango hit him over the back with a giant mace to stop him counting Akito’s pin on To-y. Honda unmasked Sasadango so he could poke him in the eyes with Gongitsune. He then missed the Diving Fist Drop, landing fist first into the bear trap. Hirata knocked down To-y with a Mecha Fist and pinned him in a relaxed manner. To-y rolled him back in a Crucifix Pin mid-count and Matsui continued counting to three. To-y guided him into raising his hand as the winner so he was officially declared the winner and still the DDT Extreme Champion.

After the match To-y told everyone the Extreme Title belt must love him because it won’t leave his side. He then said anyone can challenge him whenever they want. Then during his celebration, Sanshiro Takagi walked up to him and gave him the Stunner. Takagi told To-y he is the one who created the Extreme Title in the first place so he is going to be the next challenger! To-y promised that as champion he will do something so chaotic it will make Takagi go crazy. It was later decided that their title match will happen on 30th November.

“ULTIMATE PARTY” is where Kumadori made his pro wrestling debut last year so he was back for this year’s event alongside the rest of O-MENZ for a big ring entrance. DAMNATION T.A ruined the vibe by attacking the other team from the get go. Demus tortured Kazuma Sumi while Hideki Okatani paired off with Yuki Ishida. That left the two big boys MJ Paul and Daichi Sato fighting each other to a stalemate. Ilusion got one over on Kumadori once more by giving him a Low Blow. He also set up some teamwork with Demus to put Sumi away for the finish.

Three former members of DISASTER BOX teamed up for Match #2. While HARASHIMA was happy to shake hands with his opponents, Naomi Yoshimura had a faceoff with Rukiya before the match even started. Toru Owashi and Soma Takao started off instead and when Rukiya tagged in, he quickly targeted Yoshimura and went to fight him instead. Shinichiro Kawamatsu got Yoshimura with the Shitamachi Rocket and hit HARASHIMA with the Somato. But HARASHIMA turned things around on Rukiya and pinned him with the Somato despite a spirited effort from the rookie.

Sanshiro Takagi officially returned to the ring after taking a year and four months off for company management and also health reasons. He chose the rookie Hinata Kasai to be his first opponent because there is something about him that draws him in for reasons other than being Jun Kasai’s son. Takagi was happy to be back while Kasai couldn’t help but show his excitement whenever it looked like he was about to get his first win. Takagi broke him down using the Spicolli Driver followed by the McEnroe Lariat to the leg. He then applied the Texas Cloverleaf to make Kasai give up. After the match Kasai refused to shake Takagi’s hand but backstage he took back all of the times he made fun of his boss for gassing out so easily. Kasai has been watching wrestling since he was a kid though so he knows how this thing works. The wrestling ring isn’t the only place where DDT holds matches so he will one day get a win over Takagi no matter where it literally takes place! Takagi talked about how this match was actually his proper 30th anniversary match but nobody hyped it up that way. He knows how much Kasai loves DDT and that is what he chose him to be in the match. Takagi still has issues over his own conditioning and even mentally wanted to give up halfway through the match. But a pro wrestler keeps going as long as they have the will to. He doesn’t know how often he will be wrestling from this point forward but he is going to treat it with an independent wrestler’s mindset and find his place in life from now on.

Both Shunma Katsumata and Kazuma Sumi kicked off the show with an NωA Jr. performance.

Akito gave reporters an overview of the show at the very end of the evening. He praised AMAKUSA for stepping in on short notice to be Dieno’s replacement for Sasaki. He is grateful to everyone in NOAH for being so accommodating about it. In regards to Ueno’s comments about bringing DDT to the Tokyo Dome, Akito said the great thing about DDT is they allow wrestlers to make their dreams come true. They could only book Sumo Hall once this year because of venue renovations giving them limited scheduling options but next year DDT wants to book the arena twice to build up to the company’s 20th anniversary in 2027. Akito doesn’t know if the Tokyo Dome will ever become part of those place but DDT will do its best to make dreams come true for its fans.

DDT “BEER GARDEN PRO WRESTLING 2025 ~THE FINAL~”, 23/10/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
??? Fans – Unannounced

5. KING OF DRUNK 2025 FINAL ~Annual Championship Decision Match~: Daisuke Sasaki defeated MAO, HARASHIMA and Chris Brookes when Sasaki pinned HARASHIMA with a Body Press (24:54).
6. Special Tag Match: Yuki Ueno & Shinya Aoki defeated Takeshi Masada & Daichi Sato when Ueno pinned Sato with the Jul.2 (20:45).

The last Beer Garden show of 2025 was full of fun and games to go along with all of the drinking. The main event didn’t look wacky on paper but halfway through all of the wrestlers involved disappeared backstage. When they reappeared on the stage they all looked kind of different. Yuki Ueno looked like To-y, Shinya Aoki looked like Kazuki Hirata, Daichi Sato looked like Kazuma Sumi and Takeshi Masada looked like Yuki Ishida. Then everyone in the venue started seeing double when the original wrestlers reappeared and continued the match alongside their lookalikes.

Some of the previous Beer Garden shows this year held KING OF DRUNK matches were the competing wrestlers were all encouraged to drink during the match. Four of them ended up qualifying for the grand final that was held today. They had to drink whenever music played over the speakers or else they would be disqualified. Yukinori Matsui joined in the drinking and it became a running joke that the music would play right when HARASHIMA or one of his opponents was about to do the Somato. Hisaya Imabayashi lost his patience and complained to everyone that they should be taking pro wrestling seriously. Then the song began again and even Imabayashi couldn’t resist dancing to it and joining in the fun. He ended up guiding MAO, Chris Brookes and Daisuke Sasaki into the corner so HARASHIMA could finally do the Somato into the group but all three wrestlers then just collapsed on top of HARASHIMA, pinning him for the three count. Matsui decided Sasaki was the winner because he was the one directly on top of HARASHIMA during the pin. Sasaki told the fans afterwards they should learn not to drink like they just did otherwise they are going to get sick and throw up.

KANON threatened to break apart the Hirata GO! glasses during his match but Kazuki Hirata convinced him to wear them instead. He did so and started to dance while Hirata picked up a chair to set up a sneak attack. But KANON swung his arms back mid-dance, unintentionally smacking the chair into Hirata’s face and knocking him out. KANON then pinned Hirata anyway.

Even more catchphrases were added to the ban list for the 3 Way Match. Yuki Iino, To-y and Yuki Ishida all had to avoid saying their phrases or else risk getting disqualified. Iino couldn’t help but say “I Am The Apex” to set up his Elbow Drop. He did the move on both opponents at the same time so both To-y and Ishida were declared the winners.

The D GENERATIONS match ended up being a celebration of Kazuma Sumi’s third year of being a pro wrestler. It was a 4 Way match that could only be won by pinning your opponent with the School Boy since that is the move Sumi has been using to win matches ever since MIKAMI passed it down to him.

Tomorrow will be both Kazusada Higuchi and Yuki Iino’s birthday so they got to celebrate it with a toast at the start of the show.

*V1 for Ober Eats.
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) defeated Yuki Aino with the Spinning Tear Drop (17:49).
*V1 for Miu Watanabe.

When Miu Watanabe was crowned the princess of the Summer (the new intro to her song is there to remind you if you forgot), Yuki Aino wanted to prove she can become the princess of the Autumn. Today was her chance to keep her fire burning with a Princess Of Princess Title challenge that pitted power against power. Aino used Shoulder Tackles as well as a Reverse Splash from the ring apron to the outside. Watanabe drove Aino back first into the corner post and went on to work that area with Backbreakers. Aino powered through it to use Side Suplexes including one from the top rope but went back to the Shoulder Tackles one time too many. Watanabe gradually won out that battle and used her new Spinning Tear Drop variation to win the match.

Watanabe said she is sore after her first title defence but it was fun to bump around the ring with Aino. She calls Aino a precious and important member of their generation and she was happy to fight her for the championship. Watanabe then told the fans Tokyo Joshi Pro has more Korakuen Hall shows coming on the horizon and she wants to keep defending the Princess Title on the road to Sumo Hall next March. Her goal is to not just inspire the current TJPW fans but also those who have not seen her or experienced TJPW yet. The next Princess Title defence will be against American wrestler J-Rod on 9th October. She doesn’t know much about her other than she looks really muscular.

There was one time when Yuki Kamifuku and Yuna Manase were tag partners who had challenged for the Princess Tag Team Titles together. Today they found themselves in a similar position but this time Kamifuku was a champion defending against Manase. While that was going on their tag partners were pairing off against each other too. Wakana Uehara and Toga blocked each other from using their finishers until Uehara locked on the Banana Pillow. Manase broke it up but was immediately hit with the Diving Famouser from Kamifuku. Toga fought against Ober Eats by herself and was even able to give Kamifuku the Rock Bottom, but Uehara grabbed her in the Sushi Tornado to successfully defend the titles. After the match Hot Shot turned down handshakes from Ober Eats but it was just so they could hug them instead.

Uehara said backstage that this title run is her way of repaying Kamifuku for everything she’s done for her. Kamifuku said today’s win means she has surpassed Manase but she will still treat her and her mother to a Korean meal in Shin-Okubo. She also came up with a team name for their next opponents HIMAWARI & Shino Suzuki. She is calling them Plain Long Hair and she thinks they are completely out of her league. Over on the other end Toga talked about how close Manase and Kamifuku are, close enough to be like sisters. The match they had wants her to challenge for the Princess Tag Titles again and she would like to continue the Hot Shot team in both TJPW and maybe even Ganbare☆Pro. Manase thinks GanPro would be happy to welcome her as a guest. They’ll teach her the way to guarantee victory is to never give up until you win.

Arisu Endo better be careful because she’s starting to trespass into Shoko Nakajima’s territory with her insistence that she is bigger than she looks. Endo wanted to shake Alice Crowley’s hand before their match and was kicked away so her response was to call herself big in front of her bigger challenger. At first that seemed like a mistake because Crowley slammed Endo around and Power Bombed her into the corner. But despite the beating Endo took from repeated Lariats, she ducked under one and stunned Crowley with two Super Kicks before picking her up for the Ju no Okite to win the match. Backstage Endo said the result means she is bigger than “Big Al” but she’s now formed a bond with her two. She would like the two of them to team up on tomorrow’s show in Gunma because it will be Crowley’s last booking of this tour. Crowley admits that “Little Al”/”Big Endo” has a big spirit so if you can’t beat them, join them.

You just know that Hyper Misao had something planned for Yuki Arai in their first singles match together. Her idea was to have a ToJo-naire Quiz! Every time a wrestler scored a two count pin or a rope break they would have to answer a personal question about their opponent to win. The question was presented Who Wants To Be A Millionaire style including the lifelines. Arai was asked what prefecture is Misao’s home of Gotham City in? She said Chiba but was wrong (it’s Ibaraki). Misao was asked how long does Arai wake up before she leaves the house? She said 90 minutes but was wrong (it’s 120 minutes). Misao was also asked to identify lyrics of the SKE48 song “Pareo Wa Emerald” but she got that wrong. Misao remained in control of the match so was given the next question, what is Arai’s zodiac sign? She used her “Phone a Friend” Shoko Nakajima but Nakajima incorrectly answered Scorpio (she’s a Taurus). Arai got to be asked what does Misao always drink before her matches? She used her “Ask The Audience” lifeline and the poll incorrectly chose Yunker (it’s Red Bull). Arai then got asked what Misao’s favorite sushi dish is? Arai admitted she has never gotten to eat with Misao before so she randomly guessed Ikura (salmon roe). She was correct and declared the winner! Arai was happy with the result but her “Phone A Friend” Miyu Yamashita was annoyed she was never called to help. Backstage Misao talked about how lucky Arai is. The other day there was a romance novel that everyone was waiting to order because of a lottery yet Arai told everyone she was able to just go on the website and order it immediately. If Misao knew beforehand that is how lucky Arai is, she would have come up with different rules for the match!

Part of the undercard included a three match series called the LEVEL UP TRIAL that is designed to give TJPW’s younger wrestlers some major experience boosts on the road to “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” next March. Haru Kazashiro was put together with Mizuki, who was wearing a new black costume. She was also slightly more aggressive than usual which got her a warning from Yukinori Matsui. While Kazashiro got some moments to try and win, Mizuki beat her clean with the Cutie Special. Mizuki said she was happy with the match and how Kazashiro put out everything she had against her. Kazashiro is starting to feel like she is lagging behind the other wrestlers from her generation. She wants to get stronger in her own way so that one day she can win a championship.

Nakajima was chosen to be Uta Takami’s opponent in the LEVEL UP TRIAL. Nakajima kept Takami held in Wrist Locks and purposely wrestled her with one hand behind her back for part of the match. She then put Takami in the Paradise Lock and tried to stomp on her as she rolled away. Takami was able to use that predicament to cradle Nakajima for a nearfall but Nakajima got back in control by pulling her stomach first into the turnbuckle’s steel filling. Takami then tried using the Koala Clutch and some cradles to win but instead Nakajima blocked her and kept her pinned down with a European Clutch. Nakajima said Takami’s strength comes from her unpredictability but she still has a long way to go. Takami said she felt refreshed after the match when usually she is disappointed when she loses. She thinks Nakajima used this match to bring out a side of Takami that even Takami didn’t know existed. It has her more motivated to go win the Next Generation Tournament now.

The LEVEL UP TRIAL was a clean sweep for the veterans over the young generation. Shino Suzuki tried to go blow for blow against Miyu Yamashita and fought to keep her in a Sleeper Hold but it was inevitable that she would fall to the Skull Kick. Yamashita said she always finds Suzuki entertaining and has noticed how serious she looks whenever she wrestles. But the lesson to be learned is even when you try your hardest, things do not always work out the way you want them to. But Yamashita thinks Suzuki has the same guts and spirit that she has along with an incredible desire to win. If she can keep that up then Yamashita believes Suzuki will get stronger and even become a dangerous. Suzuki said she will make the most of what she learned today because she will be challenging for the Princess Tag Titles soon. Then next time she faces Yamashita she will definitely beat her!

One day before Mahiro Kiryu can gloriously return home to Gunma as the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion, she had to defend it in a 5 Way match first. Pom Harajuku showed up wearing a full turnbuckle pad over her back and she sat in the corner to disguise herself as a ring post. Not only was it a convincing camouflage, it also meant Harajuku couldn’t be pinned because the turnbuckle pad kept her shoulders off the canvas! Suzume and Kaya Toribami provided the actual wrestling portion of the match going back and forth with each other until Raku found a way to try and pin both at the same time. She then used the same tactic to somehow give all four opponents a Russian Leg Sweep chain at the same time. The ring emptied out to where it was only Kiryu and Harajuku were left. Harajuku took off her turnbuckle pad and tripped Kiryu with it but then tripped over it herself. Kiryu took advantage and jumped on top of her with an Apology style pin to win the match and escape with the belt. Once she was safe and sound, Kiryu knew she can now go home to Gunma tomorrow with peace of mind.

It won’t be until tomorrow when Kira Summer and Chika Nanase face off in a vital Next Generation Tournament match so today they were tag partners instead. Their team up was a successful one as they went on to beat Mifu Ashida & Ren Konatsu. The two shook hands in preparation for tomorrow’s match and left the ring side by side together.

It was announced that TJPW will be holding an extra show at Korakuen Hall on 7th December. The event is a special collaboration with the idol group OCHA NORMA. Many wrestlers in the TJPW locker room are fans of the group while several idols have appeared as special guest commentators at TJPW Korakuen broadcasts in the past. The news also comes out after OCHA NORMA held their first concert at Budokan Hall earlier this week.

7. DDT Extreme Title – Stop The Annoying Streamers!! Unicast Death Match!: To-y (c) defeated Ilusion with the Kojima Impact (16:32).
*V3 for To-y.

Since Ilusion has become such an annoying streamer lately, To-y decided to use the concept for their DDT Extreme Title Match. Both wrestlers decided to film themselves live by using Wrestle Universe’s Universe Cast feature and the goal was to either beat the opponent on-stream or find a way to switch the opponent’s stream off! Yukinori Matsui had to inspect the phones constantly to make sure the streams were still live but he ended up getting flattened by To-y’s Diving Cross Body after Ilusion pulled him into the way. Ilusion and MJ Paul then attacked To-y so the rest of the D GENERATIONS wrestlers ran down to the ring with phones in their hands to harass Ilusion by filming him up close. Ilusion lost his cool from the distraction and became so flustered he missed the Swanton Bomb. He then smashed a chair over To-y’s head but that only psyched To-y up into giving him the Kojima Impact for the victory. To-y thanked the others after the match and told fans his goal now is to be the DDT Extreme Champion going into Sumo Hall on 3rd November. This is because he wants to defend the title against the person who most symbolises the championship. Meanwhile Ilusion swore to never use Wrestle Universe again and will film his matches for Youtube from now on.

Are we now in a place where Yuki Ueno can give Kazuki Hirata a taste of his own medicine? Ueno defeated Hideki Okatani to win his Right To Challenge Arm Cover. He used the Blackout Sleeper to win although Okatani passed out rather than gave up. Okatani backstage blamed Hirata for this because Hirata keeps running away from the wrestlers trying to cash in their title shots. It delayed Okatani from cashing in his prize long enough for him not to have it anymore!

Akito is one of the wrestlers who really wants to cash in his shot but Hirata keeps convincing him not to. Today’s excuse is the two of them have singles matches against each other today and tomorrow so it would make more sense for Akito to use his title shot tomorrow. The rules for the two matches are the points from all the pinfalls will be added together and whoever has the higher total score after tomorrow will be the winner. Akito won it easily scoring seven points to zero despite Hirata’s attempts to make it look like Akito strangled him unconscious using the KO-D Openweight Title to reduce his opponent’s score. When the 10 minute time limit expired, Akito tried to cash in again but Hirata suddenly announced he is holding a photograph session which means the merch table will be understaffed if Akito continued to wrestle. Akito didn’t want that to happen so he decided to hold off on the title shot until tomorrow.
