DDT News & Updates for Nagoya-9/4/22

DDT & Tokyo Joshi Pro are running a doubleheader in Nagoya this Sunday, September 4 with mid-major shows for both. Here is a rundown of the steady stream of news coming out for each event:
First, TJPW…for the second time in the past year, all-girl J-Pop megagroup SKE48, which Yuki Arai is a member of, will have a live mini-concert during Sunday’s event. Arai will perform along with “teammates” (group members) Natsuki Kamata, Haruka Kumazaki, Nao Fukushi & Yoshiko Matsumoto. And while she is not performing, fellow teammate Marika Tani will be a guest on commentary for both the TJPW and DDT events. The performance will be part of the live broadcast on WRESTLE UNIVERSE, and you can watch on demand too but only for one month, so don’t miss it! Then after the performance Arai and Saki Akai defend the Princess Tag Team Championship against Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu. Arai has taken tough losses to both Kamifuku & Kiryu recently so here’s hoping her teammates can provide enough of a boost to lift AA Eye Candy to a win over the so-called Allies Of The Orient aka Special KK. (They come up with weird names for teams-take Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta, who are known as Free WiFi)
Here is the full card for Sunday:
Yuki Aino vs. Nao Kakuta & Neko Haruna in a 3-way
Hikari Noa vs. Moka Miyamoto
Maki Itoh vs. Arisu Endo
Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao vs. Miyu Yamashita & Raku
Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Pom Harajuku vs. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Suzume
Princess Tag Team Champions Yuki Arai & Saki Akai vs. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu for the titles
The event will stream LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE beginning Saturday at 11:30 PM ET/8:30 PM PT. LIVE RESULTS will be posted here.

DDT runs shortly after TJPW. As noted above, Marika Tani will be a guest on commentary for this event as well.
Because it’s DDT, the previously announced Electric Current Explosion Death Match will now have weapons including an electrified barbed wire bat, block toy bat (a favorite of The37KAMINA), mine board and, now of all things, the first ever electrified explosive current bazooka. Yes, explosive current bazooka. Drop the $6.56 US for a month of WRESTLE UNIVERSE or get the new subscriber 2-week free trial for this level of ridiculousness…and Atsushi Onita too, although you never know with “Mr. Liar”. And also to hear Marika Tani likely squealing like crazy on commentary.
The full card for Sunday:
Yusuke Okada vs. Takeshi Masada
Yuki Iino & Danshoku Dieno vs. Antonio Honda & Kazuki Hirata
Akito & Shinya Ishida vs. MAO & Yuki Ishida
Tetsuya Endo, Jun Akiyama & Yuya Koroku vs. Yuki Ueno & Makoto Oishi
Chris Brookes vs. Asuka (Veny)
KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Pawl & KANON vs. Yukio Sakaguchi, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani for the titles
KO-D Tag Team Champions Kazusada Higuchi & Naomi Yoshimura vs. HARASHIMA & Toru Owashi for the titles
Atsushi Onita, Shinya Aoki & Yukio Naya vs. Konosuke Takeshita, Shunma Katsumata & Youi Kojima in a Bunkhouse Scramble Current Blast Death Match
The event will stream live on WRESTLE UNIVERSE Sunday at 1:30 AM PT/4:30 AM ET. So if you’re pulling an all-nighter to watch both events live there will be about a 2 hour break between the events.

DDT 8/26/22 Results

DDT ran one of their occasional wacky “beer garden pro wrestling” events today, although due to the coronavirus pandemic this was a “non-alcoholic” version.

DDT “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2022” Results (8/20/22)

WRESTLE PETER PAN, DDT’s biggest annual event, is now in the books. It was the highlight event so far of DDT’s 25th Anniversary celebration but there is still more to come.

Today’s event was held at Ota City General Gym in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese and English.

The announced paid attendance was 1250, a full house/near sellout. Because vocal cheering/support was allowed, the venue was only at 50% capacity (the whole top half of the seating was not used). Your Japanese hosts are Haruo Murata & Kagehiro Osano with special guests Marika Tani of SKE48 (a teammate of Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling star Yuki Arai), Megu Taniguchi of AKB48, and the GOD of Japanese Pro Wrestling, the incomparable Kenta Kobashi. Your English hosts are Christelle Ciari, Hiroshi Arai & Bryan Burton-Lewis. (Chris Brookes was in action today and Baliyan Akki is in the US).
The event begins with opening greeting & announcements at the 10 minute mark before Kobashi delivers the opening shout at the 15 minute mark. I STILL TO THIS DAY get chills & goosebumps every time GRAND SWORD hits for his entrance (although it’s hard to see him so limited mobility-wise from age, his long career and his successful triumphs over cancer). The entire replay runs just under 5 hours.

Match 1: Yusuke Okada, Yuya Koroku & Illusion beat Toui Kojima, Yuki IShida & Takeshi Masada. Koroku beat Ishida with a stranglehold.

Match 2: Yuki Iino, Danshoku Dieno & Koju Takeda (666, but now the newest member of those despicable Pheromons) beat Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda and Yuji Hino, Yukio Naya & Super Sasadango Machine in a 3-way by ref stoppage (TKO) when Takeda beat Hirata.

Match 3: HARASHIMA, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani beat Naomi Yoshimura, Kota Umeda & Keisuke Okuda. HARASHIMA pinned Yoshimura after Blue Sword.

Match 4: Shinichiro Kawamatsu Debut Match: Osamu Nishimura, Makoto Oishi & Akito beat Shinichiro Kawamatsu, Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma. Nishimura pinned Kawamatsu.

Match 5: Jun Akiyama & Saki Akai beat Chris Brookes & Asuka (Veny). Akai beat Asuka with an extreme arm triangle.

Match 6: In a Hardcore Match, DDT Extreme Champion Joey Janela beat Shunma Katsumata to retain the title. V1 for Janela.

Match 7: Yuki Ueno beat DDT Universal Champion Masa Takanashi to win the title. Ueno becomes the 8th DDT Universal Champion.

Match 8: DDT 25th Anniversary Match: Konosuke Takeshita, MAO & Yasu Urano beat Dick Togo (New Japan Pro Wrestling), Daisuke Sasaki & KANON. Takeshita pinned KANON after a jumping knee.

Main Event: KO-D Openweight Champion Kazusada Higuchi beat Tetsuya Endo to retain the title. V1 for Higuchi. Next up: Takeshita. That will happen on 9/25 at Korakuen Hall. Higuchi wants the best and he got the best, he certainly is proving himself to be a fighting champion and taking pride in his new position as the flag-bearer of DDT in more ways than one. This should be another excellent match.

LiLiCo, who retired earlier this year, made a special appearance today and is returning as a special ambassador for the final event of the year at Tokyo Dome City Hall. And she has come up with a true DDT idea for those attending-if you attend and feel the event was boring, you will get a full refund of your ticket price. That event will be on 12/29.

One more tournament this year is coming up-D KING GRAND PRIX 2022, a singles tournament. Kenta Kobashi has been named chairman of the tournament executive committee. It will run during November and end on December 4. Entrants will be revealed on September 25-the plan is 24 total in 2 blocks of 12 and entrants must be younger than 40 (so no Jun Akiyama, HARASHIMA, Sanshiro Takagi and a few others).

The next event is Tuesday at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo for the monthly DDT FREE event, where all tickets are free for those lucky enough to be chosen in the lottery to get them. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 2:30 AM PT/5:30 AM ET.

One last thing from just finishing watching the replay: Stay tuned after the main event and Higuchi’s exit as the ending is done movie-style with a credit roll of wrestlers & staff and outtakes/unseen pre-show backstage footage. Plus some pre-event footage from outside the venue with fans entering and taking everything in, all set to one of the old DDT theme songs. Very nice touch! After it ends we see Higuchi run into Endo backstage, leading to one final show of respect between them to end the show.

DDT Injury/Illness News (Updated 8/5)

DDT has become the latest promotion to take another big hit from the coronavirus as they have lost 3 big names for now-HARASHIMA, Jun Akiyama and Tetsuya Endo. HARASHIMA & Endo both tested positive after being evaluated for the ever-vague “poor physical condition”. Akiyama is pending test results after a fever. All 3 are off this weekend’s events and out until at least after 8/11’s event (Akiyama is tentative for that event). Hopefully they will be back in time for WRESTLE PETER PAN on 8/20, when Endo faces KO-D Openweight Champion Kazusada Higuchi for the title at DDT’s biggest event of the year.

In other injury news, Tokyo Joshi Pro announced that Yuki Aino is off this weekend’s event due to a leg injury, which caused her to miss this past weekend’s events. Aino is scheduled to return for the Korakuen Hall doubleheader on 8/13 & 8/14. Maki Itoh will miss those events due to returning to the US for appearances in Game Changer Wrestling.

UPDATE: TJPW will be shorthanded again in September as overseas independent Prestige Wrestling has announced Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh participation for 9/3, including Yamashita vs. Trish Adora. That means both would miss TJPW events on 9/2 and 9/3 but should not miss the Women-only 8/27 event (free but only women can attend).

8/5 UPDATE: Akiyama tested positive for the coronavirus, as has Toru Owashi and now Daisuke Sasaki has a fever. All out indefinitely.
