7. KO-D Tag Team Titles – Makoto Oishi’s Last DDT Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Makoto Oishi & Danshoku Dieno

A press conference was held today for ShunMao and the challengers to sign the KO-D Tag Team Titles match contract. Danshoku Dieno appeared alone and called Makoto Oishi to find out where he is. Oishi said he overslept and he was already in a taxi on the way over to the building. After a 10 minute wait Oishi still had not appeared so the contract signing went ahead without him. Dieno apologized dogeza style and convinced ShunMao to let him sign the contract without the need for Oishi’s signature. Shunma Katsumata called it a sign of Oishi being careless and MAO said when the match happens he will deliver the final blow to Oishi. When it was time for the group photo, Oishi finally arrived and entered the room intending to ambush the champions. But MAO noticed him coming and kicked him in the groin. Oishi admitted he was going to attack MAO to give his team the advantage but he really did oversleep and arrived to the conference late. He explained he went to be late last night, woke up this morning to do his laundry, went back to bed until almost noon. Oishi apologised by doing a full vertical headstand that he calls the ultimate dogeza. He then talked about the title match but mistakingly said it was happened on 3rd November, not 3rd October. MAO scolded him for getting the date wrong and called it was a disgrace.

Oishi’s last day in DDT has gotten even busier. He helped train Kaisei Takechi for his wrestling matches and Takechi wants to show his appreciation for it by teaming with him before he goes. Oishi already has a KO-D Tag Titles match lined up but ShunMao gave their blessing for him to do the Takechi match too. It sounds like the Takechi match will happen before the title match on the day.

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2024 TOUR IN FUKUOKA”, 13/10/2024
Acros Fukuoka

1. O-40 Title – 3 Way Match: Azul Dragon (c) Vs Toru Owashi Vs Danshoku Dieno
2. Special Tag Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata Vs Kota Umeda & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Iino (c) Vs To-y

After a whole bunch of failed cash in attempts, To-y lost his chance at fighting Yuki Iino for the DDT Universal Title when the Right To Challenge Shield was taken away from him. However To-y didn’t let that stop him from still trying to get Iino’s attention. No matter how many times Iino took him down with the Spear, To-y refused to give up. Iino now sees how much heart To-y is showing him so he agreed to finally give him his title shot.

I found out where Azul Dragon defended the O-40 Title. He held an event back in June called Karaokekan Pro Wrestling and retained the title in a 3 Way Match with a bunch of silly rules attached to it.

GANBARE☆PRO “HANARE BANARE NI 2024”, 14/10/2024
Tokyo Takashimadaira Kumin Center

1. Shota Kawakami Vs Yuki Kanzaki
2. Shuichiro Katsumura, Choun-Shiryu & Takuya Wada Vs Masamune, Yumehito Imanari & Tyson Maeguchi

5. Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE Vs Makoto & SAKI
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase (c) Vs Yuna Manase & YuuRI

The three singles matches on the show are put together to see if the new wrestlers can show what the future of Ganbare☆Pro will be like. It’s a big spot for the likes of Munetatsu Nakamura, Daisuke®️, Shota Kawakami and maybe even Yuki Kanzaki. But if Keisuke Ishii and Ken Ohka win their matches in dominant ways that too could show GanPro’s future is not going to change much.

DDT “GOD BLESS DDT 2024”, 20/10/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT Extreme Title: Akito (c) Vs Danshoku Dieno
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs HARASHIMA

In the past there have been three singles matches Shinya Aoki and HARASHIMA had against each other. Aoki has a 2-1 record against HARASHIMA but still considers his opponent to be the undisputed ace of DDT. He is looking forward to finding out if he can make it three wins out of four or if HARASHIMA will even the score and win the KO-D Openweight Title in the process.

The new DDT Extreme Champion wasted no time in choosing his first challenger. Akito has always admired Dieno for being a symbol of DDT’s creativity. Even when Akito feuded with Pheromones he hated seeing Dieno play in a supporting role rather than the group leader. Akito played a part in taking away Pheromones from Dieno so he wants to flip roles and give Dieno a chance to take his beloved Extreme Title away from him.

Kota Ibushi will be on the show.


DDT At GLEAT Ver.12 Results

July 2, 2024

GLEAT “GLEAT VER.12”, 01/07/2024
Tokyo Dome City Hall
1,511 Fans

2. MONDAY NIGHT FEVER: Minoru Tanaka & Kazuki Hirata defeated Yusuke Kodama & Issei Onitsuka when Tanaka pinned Onitsuka with the B”D”F (3:59).
7. G-REX Title: Hayato Tamura (c) defeated Yuki Iino with a Lariat (14:56).
*V6 for Hayato Tamura.

A month ago when GLEAT and DDT held a show together, Yuki Iino scored a pinfall win over Hayato Tamura. The result made him No. 1 Contender for the G-REX Title and he got his shot yesterday at Tokyo Dome City Hall. The two had a stubborn heavyweight match with plenty of collisions. Iino was able to hit the Spear but it wasn’t enough to win this time. Tamura cut him off with a German Suplex and Back Drop before getting the three count with a Lariat. He said he was energized today thanks to Iino beating him at Korakuen Hall last month. He does not know what to think of him personally but in the ring they are truly rivals who can fight each other for decades to come. Iino agreed and wants to fight Tamura again anytime, any place and in any match.

It’s an eventful week for Minoru Tanaka’s family so he was given a match to let out some steam. He was well into dancing with Kazuki Hirata from the get go. Their opponents Yusuke Kodama & Issei Onitsuka, not so much. Hirata briefly paused the action to get a drink of water but when he returned he sportingly allowed Onitsuka to put him back in a Sleeper Hold. Tanaka got tagged in and didn’t take long to win the match. All four of them danced with each other after the match. Tanaka said it was the first time a “mixed martial arts” match between a dancer and a ramen shop owner ever took place. He was impressed by how strong the dancer was. Onitsuka warned that he will get payback on Hirata.

2. Someone Is Going To Miss You Special 3 Way Match: Hong Kong International Women Police Man (Moeka Haruhi) and Hong Kong International University Attached Female High School Student (HARUKAZE) defeated Hong Kong International Police Man (Choun-Shiryu) with a Double Jackknife Pin (10:18).

Order Of Elimination: Ken Ohka, Kouki Iwasaki, HARUKAZE, Shuichiro Katsumura, Shin Suzuki, Moeka Haruhi, Shinichiro Tominaga and Shota.

Now more than ever Yumehito Imanari has become confident and comfortable as a pro wrestler. He’s had doubts over the last few years but now he has the chance to become the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Champion! He knows Keisuke Ishii will give him a battering on 24th February but Imanari is crazy enough to think he can still beat him. When he becomes the champ he will make Ganbare☆Wrestling even more unusual with his ideas. Ishii attacked Imanari after the show and gave him a Fisherman Buster in the ring.

The home team of Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki were so close to getting a victory over Enfants Terribles. They worked over Yusuke Kodama but when Iwasaki turned his attention to keeping Kuma Arashi out of the ring, Kodaka pinned him with a flash Frankensteiner.

Buffalo kept apologizing to Shota for giving up. Shota let slip Buffalo’s real name “Yamada” while he complained to him.

Everybody was replaced in the 3 Way Match. Choun-Shiryu was replaced by Hong Kong International Police Man. Moeka Haruhi was replaced by Hong Kong International Women Police Man. HARUKAZE was supposed to be replaced by Hong Kong Domestic Police Man but his plane was delayed so Hong Kong International University Attached Female High School Student wrestled in their place instead. The fans chanted “Kokusai” (International) during the match. The police wrestlers tried to arrest everyone involved in the match including the referee. Hong Kong International Police Man ended up getting arrested at the end when the other two pinned him.
