6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai (c) defeated Yuki Ueno, Naomi Yoshimura & Kazuki Hirata by TKO when Sakaguchi used the Rear Naked Choke Sleeper on Ueno (17:27). *V3 for Eruption.
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura (c) when Higuchi pinned Yoshimura with the Goten (19:33). *Nautilus fails in V8. Eruption becomes the 68th KO-D Tag Team Champions!
The tag team division in DDT now revolves around Eruption! They went through a double main event of two title matches and came out holding both sets of championships. The first match was them defending the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles against DISASTER BOX. Lightning did not strike twice for Kazuki Hirata. He got Yukio Sakaguchi in the Miracle One Shot Cradle but this time Sakaguchi kicked out not once but twice. Saki Akai dove onto Naomi Yoshimura and Kazusada Higuchi outside the ring while Sakaguchi ran across the apron and Penalty Kicked Yuki Ueno. In the ring, Ueno went for the WR on Sakaguchi but it was countered into the Choke Sleeper. Ueno tried to fight out of it but lost consciousness and the match was stopped. Eruption kept the 6-Man Tag Titles and posed with them for the cameras during the rest period.
Sakaguchi & Higuchi were then ready to fight Nautilus for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. First they swapped sides of the ring so the champions and challengers would start in the correct corners. Ueno was still in poor shape from the last match and was knocked silly by a Sakaguchi High Kick. Higuchi stopped the referee from checking on Ueno’s condition so the match could continue. Ueno managed to escape and tag Yoshimura in. The champions regained their breath and hit big moves on Higuchi including the Osaka Strad. Sakaguchi broke the count and the match was left in a standstill after Yoshimura and Higuchi traded slams. Yoshimura’s power was fading so Higuchi took his chance with a Headbutt. He then hit the Goten for the three count and the title change!
Eruption stood in the ring now holding both tag team titles. Higuchi told Nautilus and Hirata they could challenge for either belts again anytime. They’re all young and have momentum but today is Eruption’s victory. Sakaguchi said he shouldn’t ever be losing to Hirata but he gave Nautilus their props for being a fun team to fight. Akai thanked her partners for their hard work. She reiterated that everyone can challenge Eruption for the titles if they have the courage to step up to them.
Ueno’s bad day went even worse backstage. His post-match interview was interrupted by Chris Brookes making fun of him for losing his championship. A fight broke out between them and Brookes tangled Ueno up in the Octopus Stretch before leaving.
A lot of wrestlers used today’s show to prepare for “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020” since this was the last DDT event until then. CIMA and Soma Takao wrestled each other. A video was shown before the match explaining Takao’s past in the college wrestling club scene where he wrestled as BIMA. He used CIMA’s own moves against him including the Schwein and the Mad Splash. CIMA blocked the Mad Splash with his knees and hit the original Schwein. But instead of pinning him straight away, CIMA instead finished Takao off with the Meteora.
CIMA greeted the fans afterwards and told them it’s been six months since he last wrestled in Korakuen Hall. He knew about Takao’s history as BIMA and how much today’s match meant for him. He encouraged Takao to beat HarashiMarufuji when they face them at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”. If Takao can pin either HARASHIMA or Naomichi Marufuji then he will have surpassed CIMA. Takao can even change his name to DIMA to prove he has overtaken CIMA!
A contract signing for the “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020” main event took place during the show. Tetsuya Endo and Daisuke Sasaki both entered the ring wearing suits and were given a final opportunity to give their opinion on the match. Sasaki still thinks about DAMNATION betraying him so he is ready to rob the belt from Endo. He tried to start a fight but Hisaya Imabayashi kept him under control. Endo said he knew things would get shaken up after he nominated Sasaki to be his challenger. No matter what he does, Sasaki will always be a B-Class wrestler with no brain. Imabayashi again had to stop Sasaki from starting a fight. Endo then antagonized him further by saying he has no credit in helping him win the KO-D Openweight Title. Endo won it from Masato Tanaka on his own without help from anybody else. The contract was signed but the fight finally broke out during the photo session. Endo pulled Sasaki by the suit and had to be held back back Imabayashi. Sasaki then saw his opening and hit Endo with a Low Blow. He attacked Endo with a chair and then put him in the Crossface Lock until they were pulled apart.
It was the last skirmish between ALL OUT and Junretsu before Konosuke Takeshita and Jun Akiyama finally have their singles match. The match went all Kinnikuman when Akito carried Makoto Oishi in the Kinniku Buster position and dropped him onto his knees. Takeshita took one things further by using Neptuneman’s finishing move, the Double Leg Suplex Hold to win the match! Akiyama knocked the microphone away from Takeshita when he tried to speak into it. Akiyama shared some words off-mic and left the ring. Takeshita said he will definitely beat him at Ota Ward Gymnasium. Afterwards Takeshita explained he is now going to try out new moves whenever he is against Oishi. He has 108 moves to try out and already attempted 3. That leaves 105 left for Oishi to take. Akiyama was asked about the D-Ou Grand Prix. He isn’t interested in entering it but could change his mind.
Shinya Aoki made sure that Mad Paulie’s size advantage didn’t matter when they fought. Aoki took his time and left the ring whenever things got too risky. Then when he got Paulie down on the mat he switched from submission to submission until Paulie tapped to a Heel Hold. Aoki then surprised everyone by suddenly announcing he was vacating the DDT Extreme Title and quitting DDT! Sanshiro Takagi was watching from the balcony and he assured everyone that his match with Aoki for the title will take place at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020” as advertised. Yeesh, first Khabib Nurmagomedov calls it quits and now this?
Is this love, is this love, is this love, is this love that I’m feeling? The undercard 6-Man Tag match went on a romantic turn when HARASHIMA and Brookes locked eyes. Music played and the other wrestlers danced while they slowly looked like they were about to embrace. Then Antonio Honda and Toru Owashi rolled both of them into School Boys for a double nearfall. Shunma Katsumata and Yukio Naya took each other out after a Thrust Kick and Lariat collision. Owashi was able to pin Honda with La Magistral Cradle to win.
Before Owashi could leave, Imabayashi stopped him to give some good news. Owashi will face Gorgeous Matsuno for the O-40 Title on 8th November! Owashi immediately refused and walked off. Imabayashi asked why and Owashi said that match will ruin his career. Imabayashi said Owashi can take the money earned at the merch table that day. Owashi agreed but then realised the date is an empty studio episode of DDT TV SHOW. He was too late to stop Imabayashi from confirming the match and running away.
Danshoku Dieno took part in the opening announcements but was interrupted by a video of his opponent Keigo Nakamura. He told Dieno that he will sneak attack him from a part of the venue he will never expect. When Dieno looked around to find out where, Nakamura ran in and went for a Springboard Dropkick. Dieno easily dodged it, gave Nakamura the Danshoku Driver and with Muscle Sakai announced the start of the show.
Nakamura was unconscious in the ring throughout the entire intro video and his match was first! Dieno entered the ring again and went for the pin as the bell rang. It was a trap and Nakamura rolled Dieno over but only got a two count. Nakamura put up a fight and escaped from a Double Wristlock via rope break. Dieno put him away with the Lip Lock and a Raw version of the Gotch-Style Danshoku Driver.
DDT is collaborating with Capital Sports for a range of sportswear. The original Capital Sports provided uniforms for companies like IWE, FMW and All Japan until the brand was retired. Their wrestling clothing was not sold to the public so they became rare collector’s items, sort of like the Ribera jacket. At the time many foreign wrestlers wore clothing from the brand in Japan including Bruiser Brody. In fact it’s been said that Brody was laid to rest wearing his favourite Capital Sports shirt. The brand disappeared after a merger involving its parent company but twenty years later it has been revived! DDT is one of the first wrestling companies to work with them.
The dark match saw Hiroshi Yamato defeat Hideki Okatani. Yamato is still sporting the black marks over his eyes like Sasaki. He also did not sing his entrance song like he normally does.
DDT “DDT TV SHOW! #9”, 10/10/2020 DDT TV SHOW Studio 0 Fans
1. Kazusada Higuchi defeated Yukio Naya with a Lariat (6:45).
2. Popularity Death Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Sanshiro Takagi ended in a No Contest (8:00).
3. Konosuke Takeshita & Jiro Kuroshio defeated Akito & Shunma Katsumata when Takeshita pinned Katsumata with the Exaggerated School Boy (13:56).
4. Junretsu Vs DISASTER BOX!: HARASHIMA, Yuki Ueno & Kazuki Hirata defeated Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Hideki Okatani when Hirata pinned Okatani with the One Shot Miracle Cradle (9:54).
5. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Chris Brookes (c) defeated Naomi Yoshimura with the Modified Octopus Stretch (13:45). *V2 for Chris Brookes.
The return of DDT TV SHOW saw the show inside a new studio without an audience. Chris Brookes headlined the show beating Naomi Yoshimura in his second DDT UNIVERSAL Title defence. It was his focus on the Octopus Stretch that wore Yoshimura down until Brookes could latch it on even further to make the challenger give up. Brookes wouldn’t let go until Yuki Ueno pulled them apart.
Afterwards Brookes said Yoshimura was lucky to pin him at Korakuen Hall last month and he is too weak to become the UNIVERSAL Champion. Brookes then said Ueno never pinned Brookes at the Korakuen match so Ueno must be even weaker than Yoshimura. If he wants to prove him wrong then he should come and try to take the title from him. Ueno spoke to Brookes in English and said Yoshimura is not weak. He then told Hisaya Imabayashi that he wants to challenge Brookes for the title to shut his foul mouth. Imabayashi accepted and made the match for “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”! Brookes and Ueno shook hands but Brookes then put Ueno in the Octopus Stretch.
Oh boy, now Jun Akiyama gets to deal with Kazuki Hirata. The Hirata GO! glasses came out and Hirata was going to show his style of wrestling to Akiyama. Makoto Oishi blocked him and said Hirata is 100 years away from ever getting to dance in front of Akiyama. However, Akiyama stepped in and allowed Hirata to wear the glasses. Hirata declared that pro wrestling is dance, he started dancing and Akiyama hit him with a Running Knee. But Hirata got the last laugh by pinning Hideki Okatani to get the win for DISASTER BOX.
The last time Jiro Kuroshio was in DDT, he was throwing Shunma Katsumata over a railing into a pool of water. Katsumata never forgave him for that and wanted revenge! He chased Kuroshio up the studio stairs and when they reached the railing, Kuroshio tried to throw Katsumata over it again! Thankfully he came to his senses and the two of them returned to the ring to start the match. Konosuke Takeshita used an overpowered School Boy lift and slam to pin Katsumata.
Takeshita spoke to Kuroshio after the match and joked about they already had their final singles and tag matches together. Kuroshio is like the scam shop that is always running a “Closing Down” sale. But if Kuroshio really is going to live overseas soon, then he will do so as a member of ALL OUT. In fact, Kuroshio is getting his own branch of the unit called ALL OUT Takenotsuka. Kuroshio said it is always fun to mess around with Takeshita in a DDT ring. He never belonged to DDT but he is grateful to wrestle in it.
The Popularity Death Match allowed anyone who admires Sanshiro Takagi or Danshoku Dieno to interfere in the match. Keigo Nakamura appeared in Takagi’s corner but it was a trick and he was really on Dieno’s side. Takagi had paid Nakamura 50 yen to support him but Dieno outbid him with 500 yen. Luckily for Takagi, the cameraman Yumehito Imanari decided to help him even the numbers. That fell apart and Imanari sided with Dieno to make it 3 on 1. Takagi called for help but nobody came. Takagi then promised to double the salary of anyone who helped him so Hisaya Imabayashi and Inoue Mic came to the rescue. Dieno gave Takagi the Danshoku Driver but Takagi flicked 10,000 yen over to Yukinori Matsui so he wouldn’t count the pin. Daisuke Kiso ran in to count but Matsui Elbow Dropped him. The two referees started fighting each other and chaos broke out. Akito had to stop the match since he was the only one with authority in the room who had not lost his mind.
Akito asked everyone what are they doing to the sacred pro wrestling? Nobody was showing any desire in the ring, they were just doing things for money. He ordered all of them to go back to their normal roles. Everyone left until Akito told Dieno to stay. He wanted to know if Dieno is really okay with his recent work or if he is past his best. Akito had always wanted to fight Dieno in his prime, it was why he became a pro wrestler. Only he and Dieno can wrestle against each other in a way that no one else can. They wrestled in Shin-Kiba 1st RING and Korakuen Hall before. Now Akito wants to wrestle Dieno at a bigger stage like Ota Ward Gymnasium. Dieno accepted Akito’s challenge at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”! by grabbing Akito’s crotch. Akito grabbed Dieno’s crotch in agreement.
The show opened up with Kazusada Higuchi versus Yukio Naya in a heavyweight showdown. Higuchi shrugged off Naya’s Lariat and knocked him down with one of his own. Naya kicked out of a Power Slam but another Lariat from Higuchi ended the match.
DDT “THIS WILL BE OUR THIRD NARIMASU EVENT! 2020”, 03/10/2020 Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall ??? Fans – Withheld
1. Danshoku Dieno, Toru Owashi & Makoto Oishi defeated Kazuki Hirata, Mizuki Watase & Hideki Okatani when Dieno pinned Okatani with a Kido Clutch (8:17).
2. 3 Way Match: Mad Paulie defeated Shunma Katsumata and Yukio Naya when Paulie pinned Naya with the Reverse Splash (7:20).
3. HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda defeated Soma Takao & Nobuhiro Shimatani when HARASHIMA pinned Shimatani with the Somato (10:28).
4. Jun Akiyama & Chris Brookes defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Akito when Akiyama pinned Akito with the Exploder Suplex (12:27).
5. Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai defeated Yuki Ueno, Naomi Yoshimura & Keigo Nakamura when Akai pinned Nakamura with the Quetzalcoatl (15:28).
6. It Will Be A Narimasu Special Handicap Match!: Daisuke Sasaki defeated Tetsuya Endo & T-Hawk by Disqualification when DAMNATION interfered (7:58).
6a. Emergency Match: Tetsuya Endo & T-Hawk defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Hiroshi Yamato when Hawk pinned Yamato with the Night Ride (6:18).
Daisuke Sasaki went into Narimasu Act Hall looking for revenge against DAMNATION. He brought a chair into the ring during his entrance but got ambushed by his opponents while Yukinori Matsui stopped him from using it. The Handicap Match was one sided until Sasaki caught Tetsuya Endo in the Cross Facelock. Nobuhiro Shimatani ran in to hit Sasaki with his signboard and the rest of DAMNATION joined in the attack, bringing the match to a halt.
Help came for Sasaki unexpectedly when Hiroshi Yamato ran down to the ring with a chair! He hit Shimatani with a chair and told Sasaki he came to help him. The match restarted and was now a tag team match with Sasaki & Yamato facing Endo & T-Hawk. Unfortunately, Yamato received a Low Blow from T-Hawk and was pinned with the Night Ride. DAMNATION continued to beat up Sasaki and Yamato until they were both knocked out. Endo got on the microphone and said DAMNATION’s goal to never conform, never kiss ass and never get married is full of shit! Endo instead wants DAMNATION to conform, kiss ass and get married! Backstage Yamato told Sasaki he will team with him to fight DAMNATION again tomorrow.
Yukio Sakaguchi taunted Nautilus by asking how was it to fight against Eruption today? Yuki Ueno just said it felt normal and he left with Naomi Yoshimura. Sakaguchi called them boring and said the next time they fight he will take their KO-D Tag Team Titles as Eruption’s prize.
In the post-match interview for Match #4, Chris Brookes gave his opinion that Konosuke Takeshita is looking a little less confident. He thinks Takeshita has always been the best in DDT but today he was different. Jun Akiyama isn’t counting him out though. The tension when they’re in the ring together hasn’t dropped. But that’s only because Akiyama hasn’t raised his own effort yet. He’ll bring his best to Takeshita at Ota Ward Gymnasium next month. Over at the other team, Akito wants to avenge his recent losses against Akiyama while Takeshita wants to do this tag match all around the country. He already came up with a new strategy to beat Akiyama from what he learned today.
HARASHIMA got to unwind by teaming with Antonio Honda. His match was still a preview of what he and Soma Takao can do at Ota Ward but HARASHIMA could afford to take it lightly today. He joined in with Honda’s swiveling of the hips to set up the Bionic Elbow. It left him wondering if he can move his hips more smoothly.
Shunma Katsumata did all the work wearing down Yukio Naya only for Mad Paulie to steal the win. Katsumata hit the Stuka Splash on Naya and Paulie got rid of him afterwards. Naya wasn’t fully beaten until Paulie used the Reverse Splash on him.
Makoto Oishi and Kazuki Hirata swapped teams before the opening match to make it generation versus generation. This happened when Hirata asked Mizuki Watase & Hideki Okatani what they were doing to revolutionize DDT? When the veteran team won, Oishi took the credit and said he is better than everyone else in Junretsu. All the wrestlers looked over to the end of the room and pointed to Akiyama who was looking at them. Oishi quickly took back what he said, gathered the other Junretsu members together and declared Akiyama will lead them to the top of the wrestling world!
DDT “TIF ONLINE X DDT ROJO PRO WRESTLING”, 03/10/2020 “TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL Online 2020” Smile Garden ??? Fans – Withheld
1. Falls Count Anywhere 3 Way Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Yukio Naya (w/ Manami Arai & Konatsu Furukawa) defeated Danshoku Dieno & Keigo Nakamura (w/ Midori Nagatsuki & Momona Matsumoto) and Makoto Oishi & Hideki Okatani (/w Sakura Takamiya & Kaori Naruse) when Naya pinned Nakamura with a Power Bomb through a Table (8:52).
Even without an audience the stage was set for DDT’s third annual Tokyo Idol Festival match. The three teams were given idols to cheer them on. Sanshiro Takagi & Yukio Naya were accompanied by Manami Arai & Konatsu Furukawa from The Up Up Girls armed with chairs. Danshoku Dieno & Keigo Nakamura were with Midori Nagatsuki & Momona Matsumoto from Last Idol armed with picopico hammers. Last but not least, Makoto Oishi & Hideki Okatani had the assists of Sakura Takamiya & Kaori Naruse from //Necopla// carrying baseball bats. Dieno heard that a lot of men attend the Tokyo Idol Festival and wanted to know where they were. Takagi explained to him this was an online festival. Dieno told the idols to keep their distance from him.
The match began in front of the stage. Dieno used his Danshoku moveset on his opponents in front of the idols. Takagi hit Oishi with a chair and Naya put him in a Cobra Twist. Oishi wanted to give up but asked to hear //Necopla// sing first. He was motivated by their performance but Naya threw him away when he fought out of the hold.
Extra damage was dealt when Takagi encouraged Arai to hit Oishi with a chair. She broke it over Oishi’s head. Takagi went for the pin but Dieno broke it up. Nakamura then held Takagi in place for Last Idol to hit him with the picopico hammers until his face guard fell off.
Dieno said he was left with no choice but to do his worst attack. He climbed up a ladder and pulled down his tights to unveil the Hell Gate. Oishi, Takagi, Okatani and Naya were all thrown face first into Dieno’s backside one after the other.
With nobody left to stop him, Dieno declared he was going to crush the Tokyo Idol Festival! He approached the idols but stopped when Nagatsuki stepped forth to protect the others. Dieno then came up with the idea to use a fire extinguisher on the idols.
Takagi became worried that Dieno’s behavior would cancel DDT from future TIF events. He jumped in for the rescue then used the extinguisher to freeze both Dieno and Nakamura. Naya put Nakamura through a table with the Power Bomb to win the match for his team.
The show ended with Takagi asking the two Up Up Girls if they wanted to try out pro wrestling. They said they would consider it.
DDT “WHO’S GONNA TOP? 2020”, 27/09/2020 Tokyo Korakuen Hall ??? Fans – Withheld
1. Soma Takao, Mad Paulie & Nobuhiro Shimatani defeated Toru Owashi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani when Takao pinned Okatani with the Diving Foot Stomp (6:45).
2. Playfulness Series Act 2: Kazuki Hirata defeated Danshoku Dieno with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (7:34).
3. DDT Extreme Title – Lost Point System: Shinya Aoki (c) defeated Antonio Honda by TKO (9:45). *V5 for Shinya Aoki.
4. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura (c) defeated Chris Brookes & Drew Parker when Yoshimura pinned Brookes with the Throwaway Power Bomb (11:00). *V7 for Nautilus.
5. Junretsu Vs ALL OUT 3 On 3 Tug Of War!: Konosuke Takeshita, Akito & Shunma Katsumata (2) defeated Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Mizuki Watase (1).
5a. Konosuke Takeshita defeated Makoto Oishi with the Cabello 2020 (9:55).
5b. Jun Akiyama defeated Akito by Referee Stoppage with the Front Neck Lock (2:19).
5c. Shunma Katsumata defeated Mizuki Watase with a Buzzsaw Kick (5:38).
6. Special 8-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo, T-Hawk & El Lindaman defeated HARASHIMA, Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Yukio Naya when Sasaki submitted Naya with the Cross Facelock (16:32).
There’s been a mutiny in DAMNATION! In the main event the group worked like a mostly well oiled machine when they defeated HARASHIMA’s team. Daisuke Sasaki & Tetsuya Endo worked together to put down Yukio Naya. Sasaki held him for Endo’s Overhead Kick and that hit the target as planned. Sasaki then hit a Diving Elbow Drop and Endo followed up with a Swan Dive 450 Splash. Sasaki went for the pin and when Naya kicked out, he rolled him into the Cross Facelock for the submission victory.
It was after the match when the double cross happened. Except that double cross was countered by another double cross. Sasaki got on the microphone and said he was in the best shape ever, even better than Rasse in his prime. Endo took the microphone and said he was tired of hearing about what shape Sasaki was in. Suddenly, Sasaki gave Endo a Low Blow from behind and started stomping on him. He revealed that ever since Endo nominated him to be his opponent at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”, Sasaki decided to banish Endo from DAMNATION! He ordered the rest of the unit to beat Endo up.
But that didn’t happen. Instead Nobuhiro Shimatani smacked the DAMNATION signboard over Sasaki’s head! T-Hawk struck Sasaki with a right hand, El Lindaman gave him a German Suplex, Soma Takao planted him with the Gin And Tonic. Even Mad Paulie gave his master a Lariat! Endo then finished Sasaki off with the Swivel Torture Rack Bomb. DAMNATION’s secret plan wasn’t to kick out Endo, it was to kick out Sasaki! Endo will no longer refer to Sasaki as “Charisma”. He admitted that when Sasaki came up with the plan to banish him, Endo came up with the same plan to banish Sasaki. The unit no longer needs Sasaki and he can be read like a book. DAMNATION does not flock, does not flirt and most of all does not need somebody as weak as Sasaki! The entire #DAMNHEARTS group then posed with the fallen Sasaki to rub extra salt in his wounds.
In the post-show interview, #DAMNHEARTS spoke about what had happened. Shimatani said it was great to finally smash Sasaki with the signboard. Lindaman said Sasaki was the first one to approach him about banishing Endo. But when Endo approached him afterwards about banishing Sasaki, everyone in the group chose to side with Endo. T-Hawk also confirmed this means Sasaki is now blocked from the unit’s LINE group and Sasaki should unfollow him. Endo promised to end Sasaki’s career at Ota Ward Gymnasium. Lindaman suggested Sasaki should fight Shimatani in a Chain Death Match at the show instead of challenging for the KO-D Openweight Title because Endo will successfully defend it for sure. A furious Sasaki said he is DAMNATION and everyone else is banished! He will be DAMNATION on his own from now on. He will never forgive Endo and the others for what they did to him.
At the start of the show ALL OUT and Junretsu came out to determine who would face who in the Tug Of War series of matches. Three ropes were placed under a mat in the ring with each end hanging out of the sides. Every wrestler chose a rope end and whoever was connected by the same rope had to wrestle each other. Makoto Oishi convinced Jun Akiyama to swap ropes with him at the last second and Oishi ended up having to wrestle Konosuke Takeshita in the first match!
Each match in the series would take place immediately after the previous so the wrestlers on both sides were at ringside throughout the entire challenge. Each match had a 10 minute time limit and Oishi came very close to surviving the full length. He still tried to win and attempted the Jikiden Tornado Clutch but Takeshita countered it into a Tornado Bomb. In the final ten seconds of the match, Takeshita applied the Cabello 2020 to make Oishi submit.
The second match pitted Akito against Akiyama and this one was short. Akito started off fast with the goal of applying the Goliath Birdeater. Akiyama escaped before the hold was completed and took over with Knee Strikes, Exploder Suplexes and then the Front Neck Lock to make Akito pass out. The series was tied 1-1.
It was up to Shunma Katsumata and Mizuki Watase to decide which team would win. Katsumata tired out Watase with non-stop Locomotive School Boys. When Watase used up his energy to kick out over and over, Katsumata hit him with a Buzzsaw Kick for the three count. ALL OUT wins the challenge 2-1 and Takeshita promised a complete victory over Akiyama at Ota Ward.
Nautilus have their hands full in the tag division. First Chris Brookes & Drew Parker gave them a tough fight for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. The challengers surprised the champions with a Topé Con Hilo before the bell and then put them through tables at ringside. The plan was to inflict so much damage before the match began so an easy victory could be achieved once the bell rang. However Naomi Yoshimura dodged a chairshot from Parker that hit Brookes instead. Yuki Ueno dove onto Parker and Yoshimura pinned Brookes with the Throwaway Power Bomb. Yoshimura challenged Brookes for the DDT UNIVERSAL Title afterwards. Brookes tried to ignore him by saying he doesn’t understand Japanese but Hisaya Imabayashi made it clear to him the match will happen on the 10th October episode of “DDT TV SHOW!”
That’s one team out of the way, now Nautilus has another squad to deal with. Eruption came out and Yukio Sakaguchi dared Ueno to repeat what he said about him in Itabashi a fortnight ago to his face. That day Nautilus challenged Eruption for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles and Ueno asked if Kazusada Higuchi & Saki Akai needed Sakaguchi to make the decision for them. Ueno explained that to him today and asked again if they will get the title shot. They already have a third person to fill out their team. It’s their DISASTER BOX stablemate Kazuki Hirata! Sakaguchi accepted but in return challenged Nautilus to defend the KO-D Tag Titles against himself and Higuchi. Imabayashi stepped in and said both title matches can happen but they need to figure out the schedule to do them on separate shows. Sakaguchi told him there’s no need to do that, they can do both title matches back to back at the next Korakuen Hall show on 25th October! Both teams agreed to the terms. The main event and semi-main event of the next Korakuen will be the two title matches between Nautilus/DISASTER BOX and Eruption!
The DDT Extreme Title match used a Lost Points system. Shinya Aoki and Antonio Honda both start the match with 5 points each. They lost a point for everytime there was a pinfall, knockout, rope escape or if they laughed at their opponent’s joke. A box full of props was placed in the ring for the wrestlers to use. Honda easily lost points by being outwrestled but turned the tables when he started making jokes. Aoki soon resisted laughing and dared Honda to try harder with the props. When they finally lost all of their usefulness, Aoki twisted Honda into submission to make him lose his final point.
After the match, Imabayashi asked Aoki to select his challenger for “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”. Aoki said after five title defences he had ran out of enemies he wanted to face. But there is one guy who others have said was badmouthing him and even exploiting him. Aoki picked Sanshiro Takagi to be his next opponent! Takagi joked that he wasn’t meant to appear on today’s show because he wasn’t on the poster but he appreciates being challenged. Aoki even allowed Takagi to come up with the stipulation. Takagi decided it will be the return of the Weapon Rumble!
Being in the second match of a show is a badge of honour for Danshoku Dieno. That was until Hirata took the spot from him. Today Dieno and Hirata fought to determine who was the king of Match #2! The Hirata GO! glasses were used to resist the pull of the Danshoku Driver. Dieno fought back by pulling off his tights one by one to diminish the power of the glasses. Dieno then wore the glasses and danced while Hirata put on the Danshoku tights behind his back. Hirata stunned Dieno with the Lip Lock and rolled him up with the Miracle One Shot Cradle for the victory.
Who would have thought when DAMNATION kicked off the show they would do what they did a few hours later? The team had a bit of trouble when Akai put Paulie in a Cross Armbreaker but Shimatani broke it up with a Standing Shooting Star Press. Hideki Okatani was put in danger too many times for Toru Owashi to rescue him. Takao knocked down Okatani with the Running Elbow Butt and won with a Diving Foot Stomp.
MAO returned and announced his first match back from injury. He will face Katsumata at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”. The only thing MAO had to say is he will destroy Katsumata.

The last time we were with Muscle it was established that the brand represents 2.5D Pro Wrestling, which is an area that exists in between multimedia and reality. With this knowledge Super Sasadango Machine came up with the idea of making a 2.9D pro wrestling musical in the hopes it will become a successful multimedia juggernaut. Today was the rehearsal for “Finish Ranpatsu”. The completed production is supposed to take place on 9th November. Yuki The Rock & South River Minamikawa introduced everyone to the show then Minamikawa found out he was going to wrestle.
Minamikawa teamed up with Mizuki Watase to take on Konosuke Takeshita & Yukio Naya. He tried to teach Watase the Systema breathing technique that blocks out pain. It seemed to work against strikes but Takeshita & Naya switched to submission holds and Systema became useless. Minamikawa had Takeshita on the ropes after hitting him with a Shining Wizard. He tried to do the Gotch-Style Piledriver but Takeshita tripped him down and applied the Walls Of Takeshita. Minamikawa gave up but claimed it was because he’s running late for something else, not because of the pain.
After that match, the wrestlers came out and practiced their performance routines. The plot is about The Finisher Boys (Konosuke Takeshita, Yuki Ueno, Akito, Shunma Katsumata & Kazuki Hirata) and The Steel Chair Boys (Kazusada Higuchi, Naomi Yoshimura, Mizuki Watase, Choun-Shiryu & Shota). Some of it was dance, some of it was acting and some of it was wrestling. But tragedy struck when Sasadango was attacked by The Folding Chair Boys and they left him for dead. The show went into intermission with Hirata promising to become the next Super Sasadango Machine in the real world.
After the break, Sasadango came out with a halo above his head. He was here to tell a story about his history with DDT. Kazuki Hirata played the part of Muscle Sakai, Watase was given the role of WATASHIMA and Naya showed up as Big Boss. According to Sasadango, he joined DDT’s video team to learn how to be a movie director. He doesn’t remember much about the roster back then other than the main event babyface WATASHIMA was a jerk.
In the ring was the moment when Sakai became a pro wrestler. Sakai was filming the others practicing when they told him to take a bump. He did one and everybody was impressed. Sakai and WATASHIMA then had a sparring session. Sakai was given a Low Blow but he recovered and pinned WATASHIMA with a School Boy. Thus began Sakai’s pro wrestling career.
Fast forward to several years later. Sakai is busy both wrestling and running projects behind the scenes. WATASHIMA came to visit and offered him to smoke something out of a bong to stay relaxed. A reluctant Sakai agreed but regretted the decision when WATASHIMA challenged him to another sparring session. Suddenly The Folding Chair Boys arrived for an elaborate dance number and then helped WATASHIMA injure Sakai’s knee with a domino chair spot. The injury took its toll over time and Sakai had to retire.
It is now five years later. Sakai was now running his family’s business and he hired all of the shitty wrestlers DDT fired, like DJ Nira. But still Sakai deep down wanted to wrestle again. Nira offered him something mysterious to heal his knee injury. It is bamboo leaves, the kind they use to wrap around sasadango treats. If Sakai wears wrestling gear made out of bamboo leaves then he will be able to wrestle again without feeling pain. The Finish Boys then appeared and gave Sakai the Super Sasadango Machine costume. They then encouraged him to confront WATASHIMA and win the championship from him!
The scene is now the KO-D Openweight Title match between WATASHIMA and Super Sasadango Machine. Their match also featured The Finish Boys and The Folding Chair Boys fighting each other in a battle invisible to everyone else around them. Things then took another turn when Tetsuya Endo showed up and hit the Shooting Star Press on WATASHIMA. The ex-DDT wrestlers got their revenge on Big Boss and Sasadango created the Vertical Drop Lehmann Shock to win the championship!
Suddenly the performance was interrupted by Yuki The Rock. He questioned if this play was based on a true story because Sasadango never won the KO-D Title in real life. Hirata had gone too deep into his role at this point and thought he really was Sasadango and he really did win the title. This problem needed to be solved so Yuki brought out HARASHIMA! He snapped Hirata back to his normal self and explained that he was always average. He never stood out as the best of anything. For a long time he was content with just being that but seeing the other wrestlers get invested into Muscle made him jealous. Also he struggled to handle the cancellation of his 10th Anniversary show due to the pandemic. He jumped at the opportunity to take the lead role of today’s show but got too attached to it. He is satisfied with his performance today and now has the courage to challenge HARASHIMA to a match right there, right now!
HARASHIMA happily accepted the challenge and they had a proper match. Hirata fought his best and had encouragement from the wrestlers around him. But HARASHIMA put him down with a Middle Kick to win.
Still, HARASHIMA was impressed by Hirata’s performance. All of the wrestlers were, even the bad guys. Hirata got to show his real emotions in the ring today and that is a better tale than any true story.

6. DAMNATION Vs DISASTER BOX Full Scale Battle! Elimination 10-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo, Soma Takao, Mad Paulie & Nobuhiro Shimatani defeated HARASHIMA, Naomichi Marufuji, Yuki Ueno, Naomi Yoshimura & Toru Owashi (23:37).
6a. Soma Takao eliminated Naomichi Marufuji by Ring Out (13:48).
6b. Mad Paulie & Nobuhiro Shimatani and Toru Owashi were all eliminated by Triple Ring Out (15:24).
6c. Daisuke Sasaki eliminated Naomi Yoshimura with a School Boy (17:11).
6d. HARASHIMA eliminated Soma Takao by Ring Out (18:43).
6e. Tetsuya Endo eliminated HARASHIMA by Ring Out (21:13).
6f. Yuki Ueno eliminated Daisuke Sasaki by Ring Out (22:36).
6g. Tetsuya Endo eliminated Yuki Ueno with the Shooting Star Press (23:37).
The main event elimination match had No Tag and Over The Top Rope rules added to it before everyone came out. Naomichi Marufuji was the surprise first elimination when Soma Takao blocked the Shiranui, knocked him onto the apron and then Missile Dropkicked him to the floor. Toru Owashi evened the score in a big way by holding on to both Mad Paulie and Nobuhiro Shimatani in the apron. HARASHIMA & Yuki Ueno understood his plan and Dropkicked the group to the floor, bringing the match down to 3 Vs 3. Paulie & Shimatani stuck around however and distracted the referee so Daisuke Sasaki could Low Blow Naomi Yoshimura twice before pinning him. The entire DAMNATION side continued their attack until the full DISASTER BOX team fought back and HARASHIMA eliminated Takao by countering the Gin And Tonic into a Headscissors over the rope and out of the ring. Sasaki hit a Topé Suicida to Ueno while Tetsuya Endo caught HARASHIMA with the Overhead Kick. He lifted him up for the Torture Rack but instead of going for the Bomb like he normally does, he ran across the ring and threw HARASHIMA to the floor instead. DAMNATION’s 2 on 1 advantage backfired when Endo accidentally kicked Sasaki out the ring when he aimed for Ueno. Endo recovered from that mistake and pinned Ueno with the Shooting Star Press to win.
After the match there were two things DAMNATION had to talk about in regards to “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”. Takao was discussing his tag match against HarashiMarufuji when he received two video messages from CIMA. The first message was CIMA saying how much he is looking forward to the match after it was delayed. Then the second video was CIMA suggesting he and Takao have a warm up match before that. But instead of them teaming together CIMA and Takao will have a match against each other on 27th September!
The other issue needing attention was Endo’s big announcement. Who will he choose to defend the KO-D Openweight Title against at Ota Ward Gymnasium? He chooses Daisuke Sasaki! Endo explained there are two wrestlers left he has to surpass. One is Kenny Omega but that match cannot happen for now. That means he will go with his other influence and that is Sasaki. The challenge was accepted but Sasaki made something clear. DAMNATION has nothing to do with this. It will be Endo Vs Sasaki, nothing else!
Years of friendship was put aside when Chris Brookes defended the DDT UNIVERSAL Title against Drew Parker in a No DQ Match. Parker had Abdullah Kobayashi in his corner while Masahiro Takanashi accompanied Brookes to the ring. The smashed birthday mug that led to all of this was a hint of what was to come. Parker Double Stomped Brookes through a pile of plastic cases from a ladder. He also threw him through a board of plastic forks. Brookes stapled paper to Parker’s cheeks and broke a chair over his head. He then used the Praying Mantis Bomb to put his friend away. The two got along again after the match and Brookes told the fans this won’t be the last time Parker is in DDT. Together they will go after the KO-D Tag Team Titles! They got permission from Hisaya Imabayashi to challenge Nautilus and the match will happen on 27th September.
Team Big Boomers put those young up ‘n comers in their place. Shunma Katsumata had his back targeted because he still had wounds over it from a recent death match he had in Big Japan. There was a small setback when Sanshiro Takagi accidentally kicked Jun Akiyama in the face outside the ring but other than that their teamwork was flawless. Konosuke Takeshita got to fight evenly with Akiyama again but was taken aside and had to watch his rival pin Katsumata with the Exploder Suplex. Makoto Oishi approached Takeshita after the match with a challenge. He wants to do three Junretsu Vs ALL OUT singles matches at the next Korakuen Hall show. They will put down three tug of war ropes hidden from view and whichever wrestlers choose the same rope will wrestle each other. Akito pointed out the possibility of Takeshita and Akiyama choosing the same rope which means their first singles match could happen before “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”. But this rivalry between the two factions is now more than just Takeshita Vs Akiyama. The rest of ALL OUT also want to get that match against Akiyama.
The pantyhose joke is still funny to Yukio Sakaguchi so Eruption’s challengers had their gameplan ready. That was until Yoshiko refused to wear pantyhose over her head. Danshoku Dieno got her to wear jokey sunglasses instead and that worked just as well on Sakaguchi. Kazusada Higuchi wasn’t in a laughing move though. His goal was to slice off Seigo Tachibana’s little finger with a karate chop! Saki Akai was the only one on the champion team fully focused on the match and that’s because she was in the ring with her career rival Yoshiko again. Dieno took out more masks to make Sakaguchi laugh including a horse head he put over one of the production staff. Sakaguchi finally figured out he could unmask his opponents but Dieno still put the masks on other people to distract him. Sakaguchi got out of the ring only to come back in wearing the horse head himself. Dieno pulled it off to reveal Sakaguchi was wearing pantyhose on his head underneath! Dieno burst into laughter allowing Sakaguchi to put him in a Sleeper Hold. He then rolled him into a Gaydo Clutch to get the three count.
Normally in pro wrestling rookies get yelled at because they are not taking things seriously. In DDT rookies get yelled at when they do take things seriously! Keigo Nakamura got a grilling from Super Sasadango Machine, Antonio Honda and Kazuki Hirata because all he was doing in the match was wrestling. He didn’t dance, tell rude jokes or even do a PowerPoint presentation. Why even be in DDT if you don’t want to do stuff like this? To show Nakamura what he is missing, the others came up with a creative musical called TOKYO Gon. Honda sang “TOKYO GO!” with his own rude lyrics and Hirata danced to them. Nakamura got into it and joined in until Sasadango & Honda attacked Hirata & Nakamura with Bionic Elbows. Sasadango gave Nakamura the Verdict and Honda pinned him with the Diving Fist Drop while still singing “TOKYO GO!”
Junretsu came close to winning in the opener but they are still an unpolished product when Akiyama isn’t in the match. Oishi wiped out Yukio Naya with a Plancha. Mizuki Watase used a Wrist Clutch DDT and got a nearfall out of it. But Akito countered the Back Drop into an Anklelock. He turned it into the Goliath Birdeater submission and that made Watase give up.
The D-Ou Grand Prix 2021 will take place between 22nd November and 27th December. Three of the shows from the tournament will be broadcast on DDT TV SHOW when the series comes back on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.
1. Yukio Naya & Keigo Nakamura defeated Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Naya pinned Hirata with a Lariat (0:09).
1a. Rematch: Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Yukio Naya & Keigo Nakamura when Hirata pinned Nakamura with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (9:32).
2. 3 Way Match: Soma Takao defeated Akito and Antonio Honda when Takao pinned Honda with a School Boy (9:00).
3. Eruption Vs Junretsu!: Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Mizuki Watase & Hideki Okatani when Higuchi submitted Okatani with the Torture Canadian Backbreaker (11:03).
4. Taisho Ward Specialty! Jun To Ai Special Tag Match: Chris Brookes & Maku Donaruto Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Danshoku Dieno ended in a No Contest (11:56).
5. Junretsu Vs ALL OUT!: Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata when Oishi submitted Katsumata with the Fujiyama Knee Lock (11:58).
6. DAMNATION Vs DISASTER BOX: HARASHIMA, Yuki Ueno & Naomi Yoshimura defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie when Ueno pinned Paulie with the BME (16:22).
It’s been a while since Yuki Ueno got to wrestle in his hometown of Osaka again, eight months to be exact. In that time he has gotten stronger and became the KO-D Tag Team Champion with Naomi Yoshimura. Since Ueno won the fall in the main event, HARASHIMA gave him the spot in closing out the show. He said the next time he will wrestle in Osaka will be for Yukinori Matsui’s produce show next month.
Jun Akiyama heard that Keiko Takeshita was in attendance today. He greeted her before the show and joked he would tease her a little bit by bullying her son in the ring. Konosuke Takeshita spent too much time fighting Akiyama during the match. He couldn’t make it to the ring in time to save Shunma Katsumata from submitting to Makoto Oishi. They will face off in another tag at Korakuen Hall this Monday before facing off again in Nagoya two weeks later. All of this is preparation for their big singles match at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2020”.
From the beginning Chris Brookes didn’t want to team with Maku Donaruto. He walked out on the match when he got fed up with getting involved in Donaruto’s lewd spots. Sanshiro Takagi tried to keep the match going but he ran off when the back of his tights were pulled down. Danshoku Dieno had Donaruto beaten with the Danshoku Driver when Brookes returned dressed like Donaruto! Takagi also came back wearing Donaruto gear too. The three Donarutos attacked Daisuke Kiso forcing the match to be called off.
Yukio Naya immediately pinned Kazuki Hirata in the opening match. Hirata got a rematch confirmed because he didn’t want the first DDT show in 8 months to start this way. Naya pulled out the penlights and danced with them to counter Hirata. However he got too focused on dancing while Hirata pinned Keigo Nakamura.
Ueno & HUB Vs Takeshita & Billy Ken Kid along with Masato Tanaka & Shigehiro Irie Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi were both announced for Matsui’s show on 18th October.
1. Reiwa’s Summer Battle!: Chikara defeated Nobuhiro Shimatani with the Saber Chop (10:12).
2. 3 Way Match: El Lindaman defeated Antonio Honda and Intelligence Sensational Grand Passion Mask #4 when Lindaman pinned Honda with the German Suplex (14:10).
3. Soma Takao & T-Hawk defeated Mineo Fujita & Leo Isaka when Takaon pinned Isaka after an Accidental Dropkick from Fujita (11:58).
4. Shuji Ishikawa & Mad Paulie defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Naya when Paulie pinned Naya with the Reverse Splash (12:54).
5. Tetsuya Endo Debut 8th Anniversary Match: Tetsuya Endo defeated Ryuichi Sekine with the Shooting Star Press (15:04).
6. Special Single Match: Daisuke Sasaki defeated Tsutomu Oosugi with La Mistica Cross Facelock (20:40).
The main event lost control when Tsutomu Oosugi accidentally knocked down Yukinori Matsui. After that happened, Daisuke Sasaki pulled Oosugi into the Cross Facelock and made him tap out with no referee there to see it. Matsui was revived in time to see Oosugi roll himself on top of Sasaki almost pinning him for the three count. Sasaki went for La Mistica Cross Facelock and eventually got it in. Oosugi reached for the ropes but gave up when Sasaki re-positioned themselves back to the middle of the ring.
After the match, Sasaki did something that is rare for him. He thanked his opponent. He chose Oosugi to be his opponent today because Oosugi showed him how fun pro wrestling is. There’s probably other reasons but Sasaki can’t remember them. He told Oosugi he respects him. Oosugi asked if Sasaki kicks every person he admires in the crotch? He thinks Sasaki’s life has gotten a lot worse, more than he ever realised in their previous tag matches. However, Sasaki showed him his true colours in today’s singles match. Oosugi believes wrestling is all inclusive and he will always remember the Sasaki he knew from their days in Mexico. Sasaki said they should go back to Mexico and have a match there.
Tetsuya Endo has been warned before by Sasaki not to get too close to Ryuichi Sekine. However Endo respects Sekine so much that he got him to be his opponent for his 8th anniversary match. Although Endo admitted afterwards that Sekine was his third choice. Still, he thinks they had a really good match.
The return of Shuji Ishikawa was meant to be a good time. It looked that way when he and Mad Paulie defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Naya. But after the match Ishikawa told Paulie he only came here to wrestle, not to sing. This was not the time for karaoke. He would only sing when he thinks the time is right. Ishikawa apologised for the disappointing news.
The master of unintentional groin attacks Mineo Fujita showcased his abilities. Soma Takao in particular was scared to fight him and backed off whenever he felt his crotch was in danger. T-Hawk also refused to tag in when Fujita was in the ring. Fujita eventually found ways to do his thing, falling headbutt first onto Takao’s groin then giving T-Hawk a Facecrusher onto the same spot. Fujita’s cursed ability was his team’s downfall because he accidentally Dropkicked Leo Isaka in the dick. Takao pinned Isaka to save everyone’s manhoods from further harm.
When the 3 Way Match began, Antonio Honda got upset over being left out. He was about to tell a Gongitsune joke when El Lindaman and Intelligence Sensational Grand Passion Mask #4 both attacked him. Lindaman (25) and Passion Mask (39) then began arguing over their ages. It led to everyone sitting down in the middle of the ring and refusing to be the first to move. Honda yelled at everyone to stand back up and start Chopping each other. The three wrestlers eventually had their tights accidentally pulled down and they all fought in their underwear. Honda hit the Diving Fist Drop 2020 ~Homecoming~ on Passion Mask but Lindaman then gave him a German Suplex to steal the win.
Nobuhiro Shimatani and Chikara kept yelling their names at each other inbetween moves. They mostly Chopped each other a lot.
All of DAMNATION got in the ring at the end of the show. Ishikawa explained to Sasaki his self-ban on singing karaoke. Sasaki called him stupid and asked what does Ishikawa want to do? Ishikawa wants to sing! He got to sing while Takao, Endo and Paulie danced around him. When they finished, Sasaki announced “DAMNATION ILLEGAL ASSEMBLY RETURNS VOL.2” will happen on 11th December!
Sasaki had a message to give at the start of the show. It is something everyone is thinking. “Fuck Corona!” Everyone applauded.

Dramatic DDT
