DDT “OWARI WARS 2025”, 29/03/2025
Aichi Chunichi Hall & Conference
??? Fans – Unannounced

2. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated Toru Owashi, Yasu Urano & Yuni when Ilusion pinned Yuni with the Swanton Bomb (12:07).
3. Special Single Match: Jun Akiyama defeated Antonio Honda with the Exploder Suplex (10:22).
4. Special Tag Match: Yuya Koroku & Kazusada Higuchi defeated Chris Brookes & Kazuma Sumi when Koroku pinned Sumi with the Modified Sky Twister Press (11:50).
5. Special Tag Match: Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura defeated Minoru Suzuki & Akito when Nakamura pinned Akito with the Modified Crucifix Pin (15:18).
6. MAO’s Last The 37KAMIINA Match: Yuki Ueno, MAO, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated HARASHIMA, Danshoku Dieno, Kazuki Hirata & Takeshi Masada when MAO pinned Hirata after the Oretachi no Mad Max (16:13).

The sauna is going to feel a little bit emptier after today because MAO has now left The 37KAMIINA. He teamed with the other three members for the last time and used his tag team finisher with Shunma Katsumata to win in the main event. He said he is certain there will be times he misses the unit but there is something new that he wants to do and he’ll do his best to pursue it. That may mean he will have to fight against The 37KAMIINA from now on but he wants the fans to look forward to those matches when they happen. Yuki Ueno has mixed emotions over the decision but as long as MAO will put fort 100% effort he will support him. To-y made MAO promise he will always be the same person that To-y loves and looks up to. Katsumata wants to reunite the ShunMao tag team in the future but he cannot leave the sauna with him no matter how hard he tries.

I’d say Shinya Aoki & Keigo Nakamura are now ready to challenge for the KO-D Tag Team Titles after how they fared against Minoru Suzuki & Akito. Suzuki bullied Nakamura around but found himself in a stalemate against Aoki’s submission work. While the two of them grappled their way into a deadlock, Nakamura used a Full Nelson to slip Akito into the Modified Crucifix Pin to get the three count out of nowhere. Backstage Suzuki was asked by reporters about his upcoming DDT Universal Title defence against Yoshihiko. Suzuki rubbished the idea because it’s just a doll and everyone in DDT is stupid for treating it like an actual wrestler. When he was done talking, Yoshihiko was actually laying on the floor behind him and tried to grab Suzuki’s leg. Suzuki ignored it and walked away.

Yuya Koroku has added a new move to his arsenal in his bid to become the KO-D Openweight Champion. He used a Sky Twister Press to win his match today, believing a big aerial attack like that is what he needs to beat Chris Brookes. He understands if the fans thinks Brookes will win but as long as Koroku has even a small chance he will throw everything he has to win the title on 6th April. Brookes finds the move familiar, like it is a Spiral or a Stardust looking thing. It looks strong but it also reminds Brookes of Tetsuya Endo which continues his criticisms of Koroku being Endo-like.

It seems Ilusion has no memory of wrestling Yasu Urano one year ago. When they faced off today Ilusion asked who the old man was? When Urano told him he’s 49 years old Ilusion encouraged the audience to chant “old man” at him. After DAMNATION T.A won their match, KANON unexpectedly ran into the ring armed with a chair. He attacked them like a house on fire until Daisuke Sasaki stopped him with a Low Blow. MJ Paul gave him a Death Valley Bomb and Sasaki then knocked him out with a chairshot. As they were leaving, KANON got back up and chased after them, resulting in a brawl to the back. When Sasaki had the chance to make a comment backstage he encouraged KANON to come attack him anywhere if he has the motivation to do it. But he should do it now because tomorrow Sasaki will have 20 security guards protecting him! He then told Ilusion to go hire 20 security guards for tomorrow. KANON said he came all the way to Nagoya todayso he could wear down Sasaki even just a little bit. He’s ready to send him to hell on 6th April!

Shunma Injured, KO-D Tag Titles Vacated

DDT have announced that Shunma Katsumata’s left knee injury was diagnosed as a torn ACL. He will be out of action for a while which means ShunMao have today relinquished the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Katsumata wanted to believe his injury was only minor and he would have been able to defend the titles with MAO this weekend because he feels fine. However his doctor says otherwise and he has to take time off to recover. He apologized to Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku for getting the title match cancelled. Since his most recent match was against Endo, Katsumata would like to face him in a rematch when he returns. The news is even more frustrating because this is the second time in a row where ShunMao’s tag title reign is ending early because Katsumata got injured. They had to vacate the titles in Spring 2023 when Katsumata broke his foot.

With the KO-D Tag Titles match called off, this weekend’s Korakuen Hall show has a few changes to the card. The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match is now moved up to the main event. Yuki Ueno & To-y are taken out of their matches so The 37KAMIINA can team up for a 6-Man Tag against BURNING. Ueno is currently the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion after he in full gear attacked Kazuki Hirata outdoors during a cold snowy night this week. That also means Hirata now only has to fight against 6 wrestlers instead of 7 for his birthday match. Munetatsu Nakamura is brought in to take To-y’s place in the opener.

DDT “GET ALIVE 2024 TOUR IN YOKOHAMA” Results

4. Special Single Match: Tetsuya Endo defeated Shunma Katsumata with the Burning Star Press (11:16).

6. SCHADENFREUDE International Vs DAMNATION T.A!: Chris Brookes, Masahiro Takanashi, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada defeated Daisuke Sasaki, KANON, Demus & Ilusion when Takanashi pinned KANON with the Uwabami (20:05).

The feud between SCHADENFREUDE International Vs DAMNATION T.A is only going to raise more stakes from here on out. Today’s main event had its focus on Chris Brookes against Daisuke Sasaki and Takeshi Masada against Ilusion but it was Masahiro Takanashi who won the match for SCHADENFREUDE by pinning KANON out of nowhere. Afterwards Takanashi reminded everyone that he, Brookes & Masada will be facing Sasaki, KANON & MJ Paul at Korakuen Hall on 23rd November. Since that trio are also the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions, Takanashi challenged them to put the belts on the line in that match! Sasaki blamed today’s loss on the jetlag he got after travelling back from Seattle. He accepted the challenged and promised to tear SCHADENFREUDE apart.

The ShunMAO Vs BURNING singles matches ended in a 1-1 draw. MAO defeated Yuya Koroku while Tetsuya Endo beat Shunma Katsumata. Even though the results were mixed, ShunMao are still confident they will retain the KO-D Tag Team Titles against Endo & Koroku on 23rd November because there is no other team in DDT that can match them. Endo is motivating Koroku by calling him second to none. He is getting stronger and just needs that one chance to prove it. That chance will be at the KO-D Tag Title match.

The amount of time Jun Akiyama and Yukio Naya have had in the ring together lately now has a destination in sight. Naya challenged Akiyama to a singles match at “ULTIMATE PARTY 2024” on 28th December! He made the challenge now because he now has the belief he can beat Akiyama and rise to the top of DDT. Akiyama turned 55 years old last month and joked that this match will be Naya’s present for him.

There were several Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title changes throughout the day. Kazuma Sumi brought Yoshihiko into the ring at the start of the show and pinned the doll with a Standing Moonsault to win the title. Then is Sumi’s actual match on the show he lost the belt to Kazuki Hirata. When that match ended Yuki Ueno attacked Hirata near the entrance and won the belt from him. Hirata tried to ambush him backstage but Ueno fought him off. Then hours after the show ended Hirata held To-y hostage with a hammer and used him to sneak into Ueno’s dressing room with Yukinori Matsui nearby. Hirata knocked out both To-y and Ueno with the hammer and then pinned Ueno to be the champion again.

Two contract signings took place before the show. One was for the ShunMao Vs BURNING KO-D Tag Titles match where Koroku kept trying to pump himself up in front of the champions. The other signing was for the DDT Extreme Title match between Danshoku Dieno and Yuni. Dieno was in attendance but Yuni was absent due to a school event. Dieno agreed with DDT to have a normal pro wrestling match that will also use “Cinderella Time”. Whenever “Cinderella Time” is active during the match Dieno is prohibited from using his Danshoku moveset on Yuni and will be instantly disqualified if he breaks the rule. But when “Cinderella Time” ends Dieno is allowed to use those moves like he normally does.

8. KO-D Openweight Title – Houset Co., Ltd Presents: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs Chris Brookes

Thought we were all clear from Shinya Aoki’s threats to fight Katsuhiko Nakajima somewhere down the line? Not so fast! Aoki held a short interview with Tokyo Sports today where he said his goal is to hold onto the KO-D Openweight Title long enough that he will still be the champion when he has a grappling match in ONE FC this December. Aoki cannot believe he got a fight in ONE scheduled before he got a booking in GLEAT. He then started rambling about Nakajima and asking why he hasn’t been in the news lately?

3. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Shazza McKenzie

Big children rejoice for it’s the return of Hyper Misao to save the day! No better choice for her first match back from injury than to team up with Shoko Nakajima as Kyoraku Kyomei again. Rika Tatsumi will certainly welcome her back with a big hug that will suspiciously look a lot like a strangulation. Arisu Endo will probably stand to the side and give it a thumbs up.

Zara Zakher will be on the show.

Before today’s show began Shinya Aoki and Chris Brookes held a contract signing ceremony and talked about the upcoming title bout. Brookes called Aoki the strongest wrestler in the world but Brookes’s love for DDT is stronger. Aoki on the other hand said he will crush Brookes with all of his might and without any emotion just to show there is a clear difference of skill between them. Then in today’s main event Aoki gave an example by using the Manjigatame to make Brookes submit. Afterwards he said he is two steps stronger than him and if he keeps this up he will be fine on 4th November. Brookes praised Aoki for having dangerous Elbow Strikes to go along with his strong submissions. He isn’t letting today’s result put him down.

The undercard had to be changed around because To-y picked up a virus and couldn’t wrestle. Yuki Ueno stepped up to team with Shunma Katsumata and take on the BURNING team of Tetsuya Endo & Yuya Koroku. BURNING pulled off the win against the stronger team thanks to Koroku catching Katsumata off guard with a Crucifix Pin for the three count. Koroku then challenged ShunMAO for the KO-D Tag Team Titles on 23rd November with Endo going to be his partner again. Katsumata refused because he thinks Endo is too strong. MAO however got on a microphone away from the ring and said he finds it interesting that Koroku beat Katsumata. But according to MAO, Katsumata is the weakest member of ShunMao. MAO wants to see if Koroku can beat him too so he accepted the challenge. He also explained to Katsumata later that they should be giving DDT’s younger wrestlers more chances to win championships if they want to lead the company.

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title changed hands twice during the show. The first change happened after the second match when Kazuki Hirata knocked out Danshoku Dieno with the ring bell hammer and pinned him. Dieno got his revenge during intermission by sneaking up to Hirata at the autograph table and choking him out with a Sleeper Hold.

*V3 for Shinya Aoki. Shunma Katsumata cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Shield.

The “Baka Survivor” is living up to his nickname after defending his KO-D Openweight Title not once but twice today. First up, Shinya Aoki fought HARASHIMA in the advertised main event of the show to continue their friendly but competitive rivalry. The contest featured plenty of grappling although Aoki went full pro wrestler a few times by doing a Topé Suicida and also a Piledriver. HARASHIMA broke out of Aoki’s submission attempts and seemed to score a big hit with the Somato. But Aoki grabbed victory from the jaws of defeat by catching HARASHIMA in a Full Nelson and then pinning his shoulders to the mat for the three count. He didn’t get a moment to celebrate though because a new challenger quickly appeared.

Shunma Katsumata approached Aoki after the match and cashed in his Right To Challenge Shield to get a KO-D Title shot right there on the spot! He was on the attack from the start, scoring a two count from the Totonou Splash. Katsumata then tried to bring in a box of toy blocks but Yukinori Matsui stopped him. He solved that problem by Dropkicking Aoki into Matsui to knock the ref out. Matsui would get knocked out again later in the match when Katsumata tried attacking Aoki with a chair. Katsumata then placed Aoki onto a table out of the ring and wrapped tape around him to make sure he couldn’t get off it. Katsumata then climbed a ladder in the ring and hit the Sauna Trance Splash to put Aoki through the table. Back in the ring Katsumata then hit the Firebird Splash but that wasn’t enough to beat Aoki. Instead Aoki caught Katsumata in the Full Nelson Hold and for the second time in a row the move got him the win out of nowhere.

Things had finally calmed down for Aoki when Chris Brookes was next to get into the ring. Brookes praised Aoki for defending the title twice in one day, proving he really is the strongest in DDT. He can see Aoki has love for DDT but nobody loves DDT more than Brookes. Even though Brookes hasn’t been winning many matches lately he wants the next KO-D Title match to be “Baka Survivor” Vs “Baka Gaijin”! Aoki accepted the challenge and it will happen at Tokyo Higashin Arena show on 4th November. He later said love and affection is what Brookes brings to the table which makes him stand out from previous challengers.

Only one person knew how to win the nobodyknows+ Rules and that was the ref Daisuke Kiso. Nine victory conditions and prohibited actions were put on the screen but only one of them was needed to end the match. It was up to Akito and Danshoku Dieno to make these conditions happen in the hopes it would make them the winner. The nine rules were One Count Pinfall, No English, Shake Hands With Haku, No Rope Escape, defeat one of the seconds at ringside, Corner Post Removal, Three Count Pinfall outside the ring, Confession after a three count and No Stripping. One by one the rules that weren’t used would get stricken off the board. Dieno got his pet dog Haku to shake his hand but that wasn’t the rule. He tried to fight To-y and Kazuma Sumi but that wasn’t the rule either. Akito pinned Dieno with a Gedo Clutch and began to confess, thinking that was the winning rule. He told Dieno they did this match a decade ago and a lot has changed since then. In those ten years they developed trust with each other and while Akito felt like questioning himself at times, Dieno was always true to himself. Akito doesn’t care what Dieno wants to do as long as he is trying to make DDT better just like him. The bell then rang to signal the end of the match. Akito thought he won because of the confession but instead he lost because he broke the “No English” rule by saying DDT out loud!

Dieno is now the DDT Extreme Champion so after the match Hisaya Imabayashi asked him who he wants his first challenger to be? Dieno picked Yuni. Oh boy… Imabayashi refused because having a 16 year old high school student fight Dieno would cause nothing but problems for DDT. It’s why DDT rarely puts Dieno and Yuni in the same match together. Dieno told the GM that if Yuni wants to win the Extreme Title then he should be allowed to have a say in the decision. Yuni got down to the ring carrying the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title he won earlier in the show. He said he wants to be a champion so he has no reason to refuse the match. Imabayashi reluctantly agreed to book the match for 23rd November. Dieno then rolled up Yuni from behind and pinned him to win the Iron Man Title. Imabayashi then told Dieno he will have to defend both titles against Yuni.

Today saw both remaining Right To Challenge Shields be used up. BURNING had just won their tag match against Jun Akiyama & Yuki Ishida when MAO got into the ring. He had won a Shield earlier in the show and wasn’t going to wait for a chance to win back the DDT Universal Title that Iino took from him a month ago! Iino was able to hit the Spear but MAO kicked out at two. When Iino ran the ropes to charge up another Spear, MAO cut him off and landed the Michinoku Driver II before hitting the Iai Kick for a suprise title change. MAO joked afterwards that he rescued his beloved princess to continue their on and off relationship. He’s now ready to do so much as the Universal Champion both in Japan and around the world. Iino is upset his belt is now gone and promised to get revenge. His BURNING will not end like this!

DAMNATION T.A is growing even stronger thanks to its newest allies making themselves heard. Ilusion added more salt to SCHADENFREUDE International’s wounds by showing up in a new costume and acting more heelish with his new buddies. He attacked Antonio Honda with a chair so Honda couldn’t tell his Gongitsune spot. Brookes tried getting his hands to Ilusion but a missed attack his Masahiro Takanashi by mistake. Daisuke Sasaki gave Takanashi the Pedigree and Ilusion used the Swanton Bomb to pin him. After the match Ilusion hurled insults at SCHADENFREUDE and targeted Takeshi Masada in particular. He said he will destroy Masada’s annoying face! Masada later challenged Ilusion to a singles match on 4th November.

Ilusion is not the only person who is attracted to the darkside of DAMNATION T.A. The group interrupted Haruto Sakuraba’s segment in the ring and gave him an offer. Sasaki can see Sakuraba has talent and that talent is to be a villain! The offer is for Sakuraba to join DAMNATION T.A for his debut match at Sumo Hall on 28th December. Imabayashi tried to tell Sasaki that won’t be happening but Sakuraba suddenly cut him off and shook Sasaki’s hand! He then posed in the ring with Sasaki & KANON. Backstage Sakuraba explained it would be boring if his wrestling debut was just an ordinary one. He wants to surpass his hero The Rock and he plans on doing it by turning heel before his very first match!

Yuni won the Iron Man Title in the second match of the show. He & Kazuma Sumi wanted to run wild on their opponents but Super Sasadango Machine wasn’t having any of it. He got on the microphone and told the young team they can’t just go win a match without caring about the feelings of their opponents or the fans. They should be trying more to make the fans happy. They all agreed that dancing with Kazuki Hirata was the answer but it was a setup for the veterans to launch an ambush. However Yuni countered Hirata’s Miracle One Shot Cradle and got the pin with his own Inside Cradle to win the Iron Man Title. Sumi then tried to roll up Yuni after the match but failed. While the two of them argued, Hirata charged them with the bell hammer in his hand but missed and hit himself with the hammer after it bounced off the rope.

MAO got his hands on a Right To Challenge Shield by winning the opening match with the rest of The 37KAMIINA. Thanks to some teamwork with Yuki Ueno, Katsumata & To-y they fought off Yukio Naya, Keigo Nakamura & Yuya Koroku. Then ShunMao gave Soma Takao the Our Mad Max to give MAO the pinfall. The result set up a busy night for ShunMao with their cash in moves later in the show. Katsumata even said the reason why he cashed in for the KO-D Title after the main event was because he saw MAO successfulyy use his shield to win back the Universal Title.

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles – Falls Count Anywhere: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) defeated Kota Umeda & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Katsumata pinned Matsunaga with the Sauna Trance Splash through a Table (11:46).
*V2 for ShunMao.
7. DDT Universal Title: Yuki Iino (c) defeated To-y with the Spear (18:28).
*V2 for Yuki Iino.

It’s nice that To-y has a never say die attitude but that wasn’t going to win him the DDT Universal Title today. An endless barrage of Chops from the challenger drew Yuki Iino into firing back with his own. Iino then hit the Spear to bring the match into its closing stretch. He hit threw three Lariats and hit To-y with another Spear to win and defend the title. At the very least, Iino developed a new found respect for his opponent. He always referred to him as Kojima even after the name change but he will start calling him To-y from now on. Iino will also go find ways to make his BURNING even hotter!

Both members of ShunMao have talked about defending the KO-D Tag Team Titles anytime, anywhere and against anyone. To show that they weren’t joking they challenged Kota Umeda & Tomomitsu Matsunaga to change the rules of their title match to Falls Count Anywhere! The champions went on to prove why that match is their specialty by successfully defending the belts. Shunma Katsumata got the pin at ringside after he putMatsunaga through a table with the Sauna Trance Splash from a ladder. Umeda refused to shake hands with the champions after the match. MAO admitted he thought about quitting when the match was first announced but now that his team won he knows they are the best! He’s glad ShunMao were able to show their true colours by doing a Falls Count Anywhere match inside a beautiful venue. He doesn’t know when the next title defence is but ShunMao will do it anytime and anywhere. They don’t even need a ring! Umeda’s next appearance in DDT will be at DNA’s 10th Anniversary show. He named Yuki Iino and Keigo Nakamura as his preferred choice of opponents because he has close connections with those two. He would also like to fight Kazusada Higuchi again whenever he returns from injury.

Shinya Aoki had a lucky escape in his match. He was on the verge of defeat when HARASHIMA hit him with the Somato. However Takeshi Masada was the legal man and Aoki caught him in a Small Package to get the three count out of nowhere. In an uncharacteristic move by a KO-D Openweight Champion, Aoki admitted today was a moral defeat. When he took the Somato his mind went blank and he does not know if he can figure out a gameplan to counter it in time for next Sunday’s title match. Meanwhile HARASHIMA is feeling confident going into that match now that he knows how effective the Somato will be against Aoki.

The O-40 Title is back in the hands of Toru Owashi, making him the first two time champion in the belt’s history. He beat Azul Dragon directly while Danshoku Dieno was preoccupied from being in the Hell Gate position. Owashi didn’t get many people challenging him the first time round so this time he wants to raise the championship’s value and make it something worthwhile. He asks if there are any wrestlers over 40 years old to please come and challenge him for the belt!

DAMNATION T.A added insult to injury after Match #2 when they tried to cut off Yuki Ishida’s hair with a pair of scissors. Akito & Yukio Naya came to the rescue. Once Ishida was saved he promised to take the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles from DAMNATION T.A at his hometown tomorrow. However Daisuke Sasaki warned he will humiliate Ishida in Kumamoto so badly that Ishida will never be able to walk those streets ever again!

2. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. Street Kickboxing 6-Man Tag Match: Kota Ibushi, HARASHIMA & Yukimitsu Takahashi Vs Thanomsak Toba, Takeshi Masada & Gota Ihashi

Now this is the environment I want to see Kota Ibushi flourish in again! A 6-Man Tag Match with Kickboxing rules that I guess can be described as Falls Count Anywhere? I mean the person who gets beaten will be falling over after getting knocked out so that counts, right? The match mixes together several fighting disciplines too. Yukimitsu Takahashi is a pro kickboxer who has been learning from the Ibushi Wrestling Institute since last summer. He will also be fresh off of a kickboxing bout that is happening a few days before this show. Thanomsak Toba is there to represent Muay Thai. Takeshi Masada has a background in Shorinji Kempo. HARASHIMA is going to use “HERO! Martial Arts” That just leaves Gota Ihashi as the human punching bag.

3. KO-D Openweight Title: Shinya Aoki (c) Vs HARASHIMA

War is breaking out between SCHADENFREUDE International and DAMNATION T.A! You can blame Ilusion for that after he betrayed SCHADENFREUDE and stabbed them all in the back to join DAMNATION T.A. It was a plan that Ilusion and DAMNATION have been in cahoots with together from the very beginning. An 8-Man Tag Match in Korakuen Hall might steal the show if the angle created enough heat for it.

It’s been so long since Satoshi Kojima last broke bread with DDT. Not counting “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022”, he hasn’t wrestled in DDT since the end of 2012. His mighty Lariat might meet its match though. Shinichiro Kawamatsu is on the other team and he now has the Axe Bomber that was passed down to him from Hulk Hogan!

More war is breaking out but in mascot form! Touchi-kun is the mascot of the Japan Self-Defence Force’s Tokyo headquarters but his appearance in DDT yesterday made Pokotan very jealous. Jealous enough to make Pokotan attack the other mascot and get into a fight! The solution is to settle it in the ring, meaning Touchi-kun is going to make his pro wrestling debut.

*V1 for ShunMao.

Today was Makoto Oishi’s final day as a DDT pro wrestler. It was a busy day for him because he wrestled twice on the show. His contract has now ended and he is planning to move to Miyagi in order to spend more time with his family. While his wrestling schedule is being reduced for the time being it is not the end of his career. He might even show up in DDT again some day in the future. But as far as everyone was concerned, today was treated as him saying goodbye to the company that’s been his home for 13 years.

Oishi’s final match was put in the main event where he teamed with Danshoku Dieno as Gunname Express to challenge ShunMao for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. There were also DDT wrestlers who’ve been close to Oishi for the last few years that stood in his corner at ringside. Oishi explained why halfway through the match. He got on the microphone and said he wants to give more DDT wrestlers one last chance to fight him so they should enter the ring right now! One by one the DDT roster got into the ring and hit Oishi with one of their signature moves. They were Keigo Nakamura, Kazuma Sumi, Yuki Ueno, To-y, Jun Akiyama, Sanshiro Takagi and finally Kaisei Takechi. After that happened Dieno & Oishi performed a 4 way Lip Lock on MAO & Shunma Katsumata. Katsumata and Dieno both collapsed from it, leaving MAO to pin Oishi with the Iai Kick.

After the match Oishi reminded everyone he isn’t retiring. In fact it is likely he will be at DDT’s shows in Osaki and Fukushima next month because they are not far to travel from Miyagi. Dieno left the ring crying anyway. MAO said Oishi will be gone from DDT but Oishi-ism will remain because ShunMao learned from him. Backstage, Hisaya Imabayashi told ShunMao their next title defence will be against Kota Umeda & Tomomitsu Matsunaga on 13th October. ShunMao refused because neither of them want to be in the ring with Umeda again but Imabayashi ignored them and made the match official.

Ilusion lived up to his name because all this time his dream to join SCHADENFREUDE International was just an illuison! You can thank DAMNATION T.A for that because they were in on it the whole time. Ilusion betrayed SCHADENFREUDE by costing them the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles right when they were about to win the belts. Takeshi Masada had Daisuke Sasaki pinned and beaten when Ilusion pulled away the referee and then attacked Masada with a chair. Sasaki & KANON then finished him off with the Freedom Call for a successful title defence. Sasaki announced Ilusion as the newest member of DAMNATION T.A although in reality he has been with them for a long time. Naturally the SCHADENFREUDE members are devastated by what happened. Chris Brookes though is already putting his mind to getting revenge.

In the first prelim match for the upcoming KO-D Openweight Title challenge, HARASHIMA is feeling good about his chances against Shinya Aoki. After winning the tag match HARASHIMA told Aoki it’s been more than three years since their last singles bout together. Seeing Aoki face to face again reminds HARASHIMA how strong he is which makes him worth defeating. Aoki admitted he should be more cautious going into the title match or else he will lose. Until then he’s going to use the remaining prelim matches to tighten up his resolve.

Oishi’s other match on the show was put together by Takechi’s request. The star wanted to team with his mentor so DDT put the two of them against Akito & Kazuki Hirata. It was the first time Takechi got to experience DDT at its wackiest. He joined in the Hirata GO! dance and outperformed everyone else during it. He then used Oishi’s move the Miracle Ecstasy on Hirata and Oishi followed up with the Jikiden Tornado Clutch for the victory. Takechi then read a letter to Oishi after the match thanking him for teaching him to be a pro wrestler from scratch. He hopes one day he will meet Oishi again whether it’s in private, at work or in the ring.

The mindsets of champion and challenger for the upcoming DDT Universal Title match could not be any more different. Yuki Iino is relaxed and confident that he is going to win while To-y is getting paranoid that he will be given the Spear at any moment. To-y said he is going to take everything that makes Iino BURNING and turn it into NeppoWER!! However Iino told him the reason why he Spears him so easily is because To-y has no guts! When the title match happens Iino promises he will use the Spear to split his opponent in two!

How in the hell did we end up with Soma Takao holding both of the remaining Right To Challenge Shields? He considered auctioning them off but decided against it. Instead he is planning to carefully use them one by one and warned everyone to keep their eyes on him.

Yuki Ishida wants a shot at the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles on 14th October because that is the date of his homecoming show in Kumamoto. His wish was granted and he chose Yukio Naya & Akito to be his tag partners.

There was a special guest who paid DDT a visit today. Touchi-kun is the mascot of the Japan Self-Defence Force’s Tokyo headquarters. However his appearance drew the ire of a jealous Pokotan and the two mascots got into a fight at ringside! DDT decided to settle this problem by giving Touchi-kun his debut wrestling match on the 4th November show in Sumida Ward!

It was announced that Satoshi Kojima will also be at the 4th November show.
