6. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs HARASHIMA & Kazuma Sumi

That was a nice week long break from DDT shows to recharge a few batteries. They’re back on Sunday to kick off the remaining shows for the year. Strange Love Connection get the main event spot here because they are in Miyagi which is MAO’s neck of the woods.

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox
7. KO-D Openweight Title – AXSEED Presents: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Takeshi Masada

The KO-D Openweight Title match is being sponsored by an electrical company named AXSEED. The company already utilizes Super Sasadango Machine as a spokesman for one of their security products so maybe this was set up back when he had a chance to become the champion. Maybe it can make sense for Takeshi Masada too.

After a four month hiatus to focus on his education, Yuni returns to DDT on 21st December. He passed his college entry exams and has been accepted into Sophia University in Tokyo. For Yuni’s return he has been added to the dark match just to help him get his feet wet again.

Bloody hell DDT found the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Titles! They haven’t been defended in almost a year but four of the five current champions are still available. Keigo Nakamura is still on an overseas excursion so in following the rules of the championship, Daichi Sato will be subbing in for him so the titles can be defended again. All of DAMNATION T.A in its current form will be together to challenge the champions.

The Unofficial Extreme Champion, Ilusion Vs Kumadori, GanPro Invites Some Pals Over For New Year’s

DDT “RING FINALE 2025 ~EVERYONE IS THE STAR OF THE CURTAIN CALL~”, 21/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Soma Takao & Kazuma Sumi Vs Daichi Sato & Rukiya
1. Daisuke Sasaki, Hideki Okatani, Demus & Ilusion Vs Toru Owashi, Danshoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine & Kazuki Hirata

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Takeshi Masada

Some thievery as led to a confusing situation over the DDT Extreme Title. Earlier in the week Yasu Urano stole the title belt from To-y and then beat him in an unofficial match to declare himself the new champion. However the match and “title change” was not sanctioned by DDT so To-y remains the champion. The problem is To-y isn’t feeling like a champion right now because that loss to Urano still feels real to him. It doesn’t helpt that Urano is acting like the champ too and is willing to “defend” the belt against To-y, advising him to forget everything that has happened up to now and to take on a challenger’s mindset. For clarification, To-y is still the champ and if he wins here it will be the 6th successful defence of his reign (even though he wonders if his number of defences has been reset).

DDT is giving everyone the early Christmas treat of Minoru Suzuki fighting Jun Akiyama in a tag match.

Shinjuku FACE

1. Special Single Match: Ilusion Vs Kumadori

It’s taken a while for this match to happen. Ilusion Vs Kumadori was meant to take place back in July but a knee injury suffered by Kumadori cancelled it. The grudge between the two took some time to resurface but the last couple of weeks have sped it up to where the match can finally take place. Christmas Eve is the date for these two masked men to settle their differences one on one.

5. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

Two guest wrestlers have been added to the show. It looks like Akira Shoji will stick around in Ganbare☆Pro for more than just one match. He’ll be at Korakuen Hall to test out Shuichiro Katsumura’s grappling skills. Also the GanPro Vs FREEDOMS rivarly is relaxed for the holidays, allowing Jun Kasai take part in an 8-Man Tag match filled with GanPro associated wrestlers on both teams.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”, 29/03/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

Three returning guests have been announced for the show so far. They are Yuka Sakazaki, Sareee and Lei Ying Lee. At the moment Lee is the TNA Knockouts World Champion and is being promoted as such by Tokyo Joshi Pro. The title has been defended in TJPW once before in Las Vegas earlier this year so maybe Japan can be where it gets defended in the company for a second time.

DDT “GO UPDATE 2025” Results

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.

BASARA “BASARA 294 ~UTAGE AKA – HIEN~”, 11/12/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. YJF Cruiserweight Title: Ayumu Honda (c) Vs FUMA
2. Wrestle Brain Jr. Heavyweight Title: Masato Kamino (c) Vs Takeru Inoue
3. BJW Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kosuke Sato (c) Vs Takato Nakano
4. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) Vs Seiya Morohashi

Where are all of these championships coming from? The Wrestle Brain Jr. Heavyweight Title has been around the obscure corners of the indies for over 20 years, originating from a long defunct company called Pro Wrestling Nightmare. It is currently held by Masato Kamino after he won it from Yuki Kanzaki. The YJF Cruiserweight Title belongs to Gokigen Pro Wrestling, the replacement for YMZ that hasn’t actually had its proper launch yet. Ayumu Honda is currently the holder of that championship.

There is one more match to be booked for the show. Which means there is still time to find another very obscure championship to put on the line.

The next challenges for the two Spirit Of Ganbare Championships have been thrown down for Korakuen Hall at the end of the year but the coast isn’t clear just yet. The young wrestlers of Ganbare☆Pro want to get those opportunities instead of their seniors so an all or nothing 6-Man Tag Match will sort this issue out.

Akira Shoji? The Pride FC fighter? I don’t think he has wrestled since HUSTLE was around. Oh no, wait, he was in SMASH a bunch for its early shows. It’s all coming back to me now.

The women’s tag match is going to mix Ganbare☆Joshi with Tokyo Joshi Pro a little bit. Yuna Manase & Toga get to team up as Hot Shot again while YuuRI joins forces with Chika Nanase for the first time.

DDT “RING FINALE 2025 ~EVERYONE IS THE STAR OF THE CURTAIN CALL~”, 21/12/2025
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Special Tag Match: Yuji Nagata & Sanshiro Takagi Vs HARASHIMA & Kaisei Takechi
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & KANON (c) (w/ KIMIHIRO) Vs Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Takeshi Masada

It’s just the KO-D Openweight Title on the line for Yuki Ueno’s last title match of the year. He put all of D GENERATIONS into a Rock Paper Scissors tournament to determine the No. 1 Contender and Takeshi Masada came out on top. His fighting words to build up the title match didn’t impress the champion though. Ueno wants to hear something from Masada that will make him want to fight him.

An outsider team is just what Strange Love Connection are looking for when it comes to their next KO-D Tag Team Titles defence. F-SWAG has come to DDT looking for gold an quickly set their sights on the tag belts. Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox can be a handful together but MAO thinks it will do KANON a lot of good to start fighting wrestlers from outside of DDT.

More big opportunities are coming Kaisei Takechi’s way. He has a trip to the Tokyo Dome booked for 4th January so Sanshiro Takagi is giving him a New Japan flavored appetizer in the form of Yuji Nagata. Takechi will have HARASHIMA backing him up because HARASHIMA doesn’t want to miss out on the fun.

GANBARE☆PRO “BEFORE SUNRISE 2025”, 27/12/2025

1. YuuRI 5th Anniversary Match: YuuRI Vs Sareee
2. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Ryota Nakatsu & Takumi Tsukamoto (c) Vs Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga
3. Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Title: Masaaki Mochizuki (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

Should the GanPro veterans get past their pesky juniors, they will have championship matches to look forward to at the end of the year. Keisuke Ishii believes he is the one fated to win the Spirit Of Ganbare World Title from Masaaki Mochizuki in a battle between the Kneel Kick against the Saikyou High Kick.

Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga have become GanPro’s latest hope to take the Spirit Of Ganbare Tag Team Titles from the BASARA team. They have wrestled in the same matches so frequently this year that they feel like they are already an established tag team in GanPro. That’s why they went and given themselves a tag team name called Touchable. That isn’t making Ryota Nakatsu or Takumi Tsukamoto shaking in their boots though.

DDT “NEW YEAR☆DRAMATIC PARADE 2026 ~THE ANSWER WILL BE REVEALED ONE YEAR LATER~”, 03/01/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Yuki Ueno, To-y & Kaisei Takechi (c) Vs MAO, KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) & Kazuma Sumi

One day before Takechi (and possibly a few others) go to the Tokyo Dome, he has his first title defence with The 37KAMIINA to get through. Ueno, To-y & Takechi have to get past the trio of SLC & Kazuma Sumi if Takechi wants to enter the Dome with the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles still belonging to his team.

2026 will begin with a DDT wrestler taking time off for injury. Soma Takao will be out of action from January in order to get treated for a lingering left knee injury. He doesn’t know how long the break will last but the only thing he is certain of is you will find him working at the Dropkick Bar.

7. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Universal Title: Yuki Ueno (c/c) defeated Super Sasadango Machine with a Dropkick (27:16).
*V3 for the KO-D Openweight Title. V1 for the DDT Universal Title.

High hopes and grand ambitions for the future spurred on Super Sasadango Machine as he found himself fighting Yuki Ueno for DDT’s top two championships in Korakuen Hall today. He spent the time leading up to the match working out with a personal trainer, had revealed the Reverse Shrimp Hold as his deadly secret weapon he had kept hidden for around two decades and he was watched over by Konosuke Takeshita in his corner for the match. The big problem though was Ueno banned Sasadango from giving any PowerPoint Presentations until this match took place, sapping away Sasadango’s creativity. Or did it? As he held Ueno in the Reverse Shrimp Hold, fighting to stop the champion from reaching the ropes “Etupirka” began to play and a spiritual PowerPoint Presentation was broadcast directly into the minds of everyone watching the match! In it Sasadango revealed then if he wins the KO-D Openweight Title and DDT Universal Title today, he will nominate Ueno to be his first challenger and hold the rematch at the 3rd January Korakuen show next year. Then the next day Sasadango will invade the Tokyo Dome to take over New Japan’s big show! Unfortunately for Sasadango the bonus motivation didn’t work and Ueno made it to the ropes to break his secret hold. Ueno also kicked out of the Vertical Drop Lehman Shock even though Sasadango hit the move three times throughout the match. Sasadango’s last plan was to simply use a Dropkick on Ueno but the champion got back up and did several Dropkicks of his own. Sasadango kicked out of the BME and the two wrestlers began Dropkicking each other back and forth. They both kept kicking out of the pins until Sasadango got Dropkicked in the face one time too many and couldn’t kick out anymore.

After the match Ueno thanked Sasadango for doing his best and asked him if they really can make the dream of bringing DDT to the Tokyo Dome come true? Sasadango said it is not a dream at all and it is their responsibility to take all of the DDT fans to that destination. If everybody puts their minds to it, they can definitely make it to the Tokyo Dome and fill it up for an amazing view! Ueno admitted he will never become an icon like Hiroshi Tanahashi but that’s okay. Sasadango advised him to just be himself and then left. Later during his backstage comments, Sasadango talked about the opportunities that will open up when Tanahashi retires for other wrestlers to become the next icon for the entire industry, not just in New Japan. There are so many things that need to be done for DDT to get to the Tokyo Dome but Sasadango promised he will work hard to help make it happen, especially since we are not that far off from DDT celebrating its 30th Anniversary.

But that’s still way off in the future. Ueno is also thinking about what he’s going to do next. Hisaya Imabayashi told him his next singles title match will happen on the 21st December Korakuen show and Ueno was allowed to choose his opponent. Ueno decided he will defend the KO-D Title against one of the D GENERATIONS wrestlers and the challenger would be determined right away with a Rock Paper Scissors tournament! He explained it would be the fairest way to quickly determine the No. 1 Contender and it is also an idea that has been passed down through DDT since ancient times. In the end, Takeshi Masada beat Yuki Ishida in the final to earn the title shot. Ueno asked him what does he want to do if he becomes champion? Masada said he will prove that he is the future of DDT. Ueno told him he has plenty of time to do that so he should say something that will make Ueno want to beat him. Masada said he will make Ueno feel despair when he beats him on the 21st!

Fresh off of losing winning his first match in the Continental Classic at AEW last week, Takeshita made it all the way back to DDT for a special rematch against Shinya Aoki. He brought the IWGP World Heavyweight Title with him but the match was a non-title bout. Aoki brought the challenge, finding unique ways to use his moves on Takeshita. He avoided being pinned with the Blue Thunder Bomb by applying a Cross Armbreaker and also used the setup for the Aoki Clutch as a feint to roll Takeshita into the European Clutch instead. Takeshita got the better of him though by escaping his different cradle pins and using a Backslide to roll himself on top of Aoki and pin him with a bridging Jackknife. Takeshita said backstage that he cannot afford to lose anywhere right now because the Tokyo Dome is waiting for him. He isn’t just talking about 4th January because as long as he is with DDT, he wants to go to the Tokyo Dome with DDT! He also sees how much the D GENERATIONS have improved and thinks DDT is in good hands with them around. Aoki is coming off of a recent MMA defeat in ONE FC and said how strange it is that today he feels he is back where he belongs. To him, martial arts and MMA are all part of the same rules as pro wrestling and he has come to love modern pro wrestling.

A grudge match over the KO-D Tag Team Titles pushed Strange Love Connection to bring in an extra ringside second alongside KIMIHIRO to even up the numbers against DAMNATION T.A. During the entrance KIMIHIRO introduced everyone to the stage actress Yuzuki Hoshimoto who was armed with a whip and also an illuminated blade shaped bat. However she didn’t turn out to do much when DAMNATION T.A attacked the champions during their entrance. She whipped MJ Paul a bit but he just shoved her against the ring apron in response. Things went worse for SLC when MAO’s attempted stage dive missed the target and he landed on KANON instead. Daisuke Sasaki continued to attack them with chairs, even Body Slamming KIMIHIRO onto a pile of them. Paul & Demus added more damage with interference spots but MAO got his own back by wiping them out at ringside with a Quebrada. Sasaki held MAO in La Mistica Crossface Lock while Hideki Okatani went to finish the job but KANON made a comeback on the two of them. As much as Okatani tried to harm KANON’s hand, he couldn’t stop him from doing the LONELY DEZIRES, giving SLC a hard earned victory and KANON his revenge.

After the match KANON spoke about having confidence now and proving he is not unwanted because he has friends who support him. SLC beat DAMNATION T.A but they don’t want their title run to end here. They heard that earlier today F-SWAG were telling everyone they want a title shot. MAO thinks it’s great that teams from outside DDT now want to fight for the KO-D Tag Titles because he needs new opponents to help himself and KANON grow stronger together. Meanwhile DAMNATION T.A were coming up with excuses for losing. Sasaki blamed it on bad calls while Okatani had regrets over not using his bamboo stick because he thought he could win without it.

Gambling was the name of the game when it came to today’s DDT Extreme Title match. Well actually the name of the match was Weapon Gamble but you know what I mean. To-y and Sanshiro Takagi spent over a week gambling their money in the hopes of raising funds for weapons to use in this match. Neither of them won anything substantial so they were reduced to finding weapons they didn’t have to pay for. The extra catch was every time a new weapon was introduced, they would have to play a card game where the person who drew the higher number would be allowed use the weapon on his opponent. One instance of this backfiring was when Takagi brought in a group of unpaid amateur indie wrestlers. To-y won the card game so all of the wrestlers attacked Takagi instead. The next item was a briefcase that To-y won the right to use but Takagi grabbed it and ran off. When the indie wrestlers chased after him, Takagi pulled out a spray can from the briefcase and blinded everyone with it. The Dramatic Dream was next and Takagi got to crash it into everyone up in the aisleway. Another bicycle was brought out but this one belonged to To-y’s parents! He and Takagi then crashed their bikes into each other. Then came the most dangerous weapon of the match: A parent-teacher meeting with To-y’s mother Miwa Kojima! Takagi won the card game so he got to tell Miwa about To-y’s gambling problem, claiming To-y has taken it so far that he has stolen Takagi’s money to fund it! Miwa also revealed her credit card is constantly in debt because of her son so she asked Takagi to help her. Takagi smashed a plastic case over To-y’s head as punishment which shocked Miwa. She had a sudden change of heart and slapped Takagi across the face, stunning him long enough for To-y to give him the Kojima In Wonderland onto the plastic cases for the victory. Mother and son hugged each other afterwards but To-y admitted he cannot quit gambling. He promised to make enough money to pay it all back though and then make even more money so he can gamble even more without it going to waste. He admits when you hold the Extreme Title you lose track of what is right and what is wrong. However he will always be authentic.

The first DDT tour for the Belgian tag team Rivality came to an end today with them getting to team up with Jun Akiyama & HARASHIMA. The four of them all joined forces to face the temporary alliance of SCHADENFREUDE International and Harimao. Early on MBM & Ultima Sombra got to experience the SCHADENFREUDE Tower spot from both sides. Sombra was the one getting punished while MBM got to pose on top of him with everyone else. Sombra also took the full brunt of the rubber band spot from Chris Brookes. Akiyama fought Naomi Yoshimura for the more serious part of the match but the finish came down to Masada & Ishida hitting their finishers on both members of MBM at the same time, leading to Masada pinning MBM.

As mentioned earlier, F-SWAG has come to DDT and they are looking for gold. Jun Masaoka & Gaia Hox made the most of the chaos that went on to win the 3 Way Tag Match against The Apex and DAMNATION T.A. They formed an alliance with Demus & Ilusion at first but betrayed them as soon as the opportunity arose. Hox wiped out Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya with a dive then made it back into the ring to help Masaoka finish off Ilusion for the victory. After the match F-SWAG got on the microphone and said they wanted to face the winners of the KO-D Tag Titles match on 21st December because that is the only date they have open that month. DDT better watch out!

After a month long delay in recovery, Danshoku Dieno finally got to make his triumphant return to the ring. Too bad the match began while he was making his entrance through the audience and Antonio Honda submitted to Kazusada Higuchi’s Claw Hold six seconds in. Imabayashi got mad at Dieno’s moment being ruined and ordered a restart. The match went on without a hitch with all of the Lip Locks and partial nudity you’d want in a Dieno match. Toru Owashi didn’t get a Lip Lock though despite anticipating he would. Dieno had extra pent up energy built up from his time away and it was used to charge up the Hirata Go! glasses and also Gongitsune (as well as a portable battery belonging to a fan at ringside). Kazuki Hirata turned the charged up Gongitsune against Honda in order to pin him with the Miracle One Shot Cradle.

In the dark match Akito, Daichi Sato & Yuya Koroku all teamed up to defeat Soma Takao, Rukiya & Hinata Kasai. Takao & Rukiya tried to break down Sato with a Sandwich Elbow attack so Kasai could hit him with a Missile Dropkick. Sato got back at Kasai with a Fisherman Suplex and pinned him with a Penalty Kick.

Two big matches featuring Kaisei Takechi were announced for December and January to help him prepare for his “WRESTLE KINGDOM” appearance. On 21st December he will team with HARASHIMA to face Yuji Nagata & Sanshiro Takagi. Then on 3rd January Takechi will defend the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles with The 37KAMIINA against SLC & Kazuma Sumi.

1e. Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada eliminated HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku when Brookes pinned Koroku with a Piledriver through the Table (150:38).

A cozy train ride across the Banetsu East Line Train was on the cards today. DDT decided to put on a Tag Team Battle Royal on a train with the first group of teams boarding on at Koriyama Station. Yuki Ueno & To-y were the first to walk down the aisleway, followed by Strange Love Connection, then Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada and lastly Kazusada Higuchi & Kazuki Hirata joined in. While the fighting went on for a while, the wrestlers took breaks here and there to talk with the passengers. MAO also promoted the big Baka Gaijin + Friends show taking place in Shinjuku FACE on Tuesday.

The action picked up at Iwaki Tokiwa Station when two more teams entered the fray. HARASHIMA & Yuya Koroku as well as Yukio Naya & Kazuma Sumi all jogged down to the station and fought everyone outside the train. The SCHADENFREUDE International team also sack tossed wrestlers like Koroku and Sumi into piles of dry hay nearby before everyone got back in the train.

Everyone wanted to pace themselves for the next station so rather than wrestle, they all played card and dice games over a luxury bento box. When the train arrived at Ononiimachi Station there was a secret team standing by to be the final entrants in the match. It was Sanshiro Takagi & Akito! Everyone continued wrestling outside on the platform where passengers on another train got to watch on from their seats. When that train departed all of the wrestlers waved goodbye to it. Everyone then decided to gang up on Takagi & Akito, tying them both to the train station’s sign post. They also stuck tape over their mouths and abandoned them at the station so the match could continue on its journey. Since Takagi & Akito didn’t make it back to the train when it left, they were the first team eliminated from the Battle Royal.

 

The wrestlers took another break on the train to eat lunch and play more games. Hirata then led some of the others in a dance before the fighting broke out again. The train stopped at Akai Station where Pokotan was meant to step onboard as a surprise guest but he was spotted sleeping on the ground. He woke up as the train was leaving and tripped over while trying to chase after it.

The train reached its final destination and everyone disembarked so the Battle Royal could conclude outside of Iwaki Station. The 37KAMIINA team were eliminated when Higuchi held To-y in the Canadian Backbreaker until To-y fainted while Ueno was too busy dancing with Hirata to notice. Everybody then physically made Higuchi put Hirata in the Canadian Backbreaker and all wrenched the move harder to make Hirata give up, knocking Higuchi out of the match too.

A back and forth battle then went ahead between SLC and Naya & Sumi. It ended with Sumi giving MAO a Flying DDT onto the ground only for MAO in his last gasp give Sumi the Fire Thunder onto the concrete. Both men were knocked completely out so KANON pinned Sumi while Naya pinned MAO. Both got three counts but that also meant both teams had eliminated each other!

That left two teams still standing for the big finale. HARASHIMA tried to do the Somato on Masada while he was leaning against a flipped over table. Masada rolled out of the way making HARASHIMA crash into the table knees first. Koroku then tried to fight off Brookes & Masada two on one but eventually fell to their double team tactics. The table was set back up and Brookes put Koroku through it with a Piledriver for the final elimination, making SCHADENFREUDE International the winners of the Battle Royal in over two hours and 30 minutes!

In the final warm up match before the next Korakuen Hall show, Yuki Ueno got one over on Super Sasadango Machine for the finish. Sasadango tried to put his own mask over Ueno’s face to blind him but Ueno blocked it. Instead, Ueno put the mask back on Sasadango backwards, Dropkicked him in the head and then pinned him with a School Boy. While Sanshiro Takagi and To-y argued after the match over gambling, Ueno spoke to Sasadango and asked why he decided to challenge him for the KO-D Openweight Title? Sasadango’s answer was he wants to beat Ueno, carry his beaten body to the merchandise venue like a knight carrying a rescued princess and then make a ton of money from taking photos with the fans. Ueno cut him off and asked what does Sasadango want to do if he becomes champion? Sasadango pointed out that a huge hole in the wrestling world will open up when Hiroshi Tanahashi retires on 24th January. Sasadango sees this as his opportunity to become the next ace of the entire pro wrestling industry!

Hideki Okatani is playing mind games on KANON ahead of their KO-D Tag Team Titles Match. At the contract signing during the show, Okatani told KANON that no matter where he goes he will always be an unwanted child. Even if MAO picked KANON up after he was kicked out of DAMNATION T.A, he is only going to be abandoned again. Daisuke Sasaki doesn’t want to bring him back into the group and is going to ruin his life even more when DAMNATION T.A take the KO-D Tag Titles away from Strange Love Connection. KANON told them he is having the most fun of his career right now because he now has friends he can rely on. MAO thinks the best way KANON can get revenge on DAMNATION T.A is to show off how much more lively he is without them. Later in the show, Okatani beat KANON in a grudge match thanks to Sasaki hitting KANON in the back with a chair. A brawl then broke out where DAMNATION T.A overwhelmed SLC and left all of them laying, KIMIHIRO included. Despite that, KANON is trying to play some mind games back by saying Sasaki actually does want him back even though Sasaki says otherwise.

Today is Sasaki’s 40th birthday and he got to celebrate it even more by winning the O-40 Title from Antonio Honda! The former champion decided to be gracious after the match by singing Happy Birthday but Sasaki didn’t want to hear it and walked off with the belt. Backstage Sasaki sent a message out to all of the best wrestlers over the age of 40 to come fight him for the belt. He wants the likes of Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, CM Punk and Brock Lesnar to all answer his challenge.

Akito decided to be a referee for a match celebrating the 16th Anniversary of his debut because it is something he has never done before. Both Kazuki Hirata & Soma Takao wanted Akito to call things in their favor because yesterday was Hirata’s birthday and Takao is celebrating three years of managing the Dropkick Bar. When Akito declined to help, they then tried to bribe him 3,000 yen. Akito accepted the deal and purposely counted fast for them while counting slow for Rukiya & Hinata Kasai. However he had a change of heart after Rukiya confronted him over his officiating and was convinced to change sides because Rukiya is worth more to him than 3,000 yen. Akito then instructed Rukiya how to correctly apply a Crab Hold and Rukiya used the move to successfully submit Hirata.
