DDT continued the D KING GP 2022 Tournament today with a doubleheader in Yokohama. The first event, a midday matinee (late night last night in the US), was this month’s DDT FREE event with free admission for lucky ticket winners. The second event, a couple hours after the first event concluded, was a “normal” event.

Today’s events were held at Yokohama Radiant Hall in Japan and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

Match 2; Yukio Sakaguchi Produced Match: In a Handicap Match, Pocotan & Gota Ihashi beat Saki Akai, Hideki Okatani & Kazuki Hirata. Pocotan pinned Hirata after a diving body press. It turns out Pocotan actually was Sakaguchi this time.

At this point, a title match was announced for the upcoming special free event on 11/27: Takao Soma will face Chikara for the World Omori Class Championship. This was to have been Masa Takanashi getting the title shot, but Takanashi will be on an overseas excursion and gave the match to Soma.

DDT continues the D KING Grand Prix 2022 today as part of a doubleheader with Ganbare Pro, who ran their event before this one.

Today’s event was held at Yokohama Radiant Hall in Yokohama and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

The announced paid attendance was 239, a super full house/very near sellout.

During the opening announcements, Yuki Urno came out for the opening shout and to promote his new side hustle-he is now an actor. Ueno is currently starring in a popular series on TV Kanagawa in Kanagawa Prefecture, a modern re-imagining of legendary samurai Nobunaga Oda and others in today’s Japan as teenagers and roommates. If you’ve played any Koei (now Koei Tecmo Games) games over the last 40 years, namely any of the “Nobunaga’s Ambition” or “Samurai Warriors” games (also “Warriors Orochi”), you’ll know these names.

Match 1: Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku beat Takao Soma, Toui Kojima & Takeshi Masada. Okada pinned Kojima after Sudden Death.

Match 2: HARASHIMA produced match: In a Blindfolded Breasts Match, a comedy match where everyone wore bras and the match also ended when someone’s bra was stripped off, Antonio Honda & Shunma Katsumata beat HARASHIMA & Kazuki Hirata. Katsumata beat HARASHIMA by bra stripping. Afterwards, HARASHIMA admitted he lost “because I’m training”. This is classic “Only In DDT” stuff.

Match 5: Rickey Shane Page, Chris Brookes & Masa Takanashi beat Kazusada Higuchi, Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida. Page pinned Ishida after a backdrop.

The next event is Saturday, which will also be this month’s DDT FREE event with free admission. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin Friday at 11:30 PM ET/8:30 PM PT.

DDT began the D KING Grand Prix today, a round-robin format tournament to determine who will get to face KO-D Openweight Champion Kazusada Higuchi for the title at the year-assuming of course Higuchi doesn’t win the tournament. (He’s defending the title regardless but this could complicate determining the next challenger)

Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

The announced paid attendance was 411.

Pre-show Match: Danshoku Dieno, Yuki Iino & Koju Takeda vs. Toru Owashi, Makoto Oishi & Kazuki Hirata (with Akito) went to a no contest. GM Imabayashi stoppage. The comedy storyline here is Akito is now in charge of subjugating those despicable Pheromons. It didn’t start well.

During the opening announcements, DDT announced a business partnership with Sun Music Production Co. Ltd. to expand entertainment opportunities for wrestlers (much like what is common in New Japan Pro Wrestling and Pro Wrestling NOAH among others, where their wrestlers frequently appear on TV and radio in Japan. New Japan also has a weekly podcast in Japanese featuring Hiroshi Tanahashi, which can also be listened to on YouTube)

Match 1: Yusuke Okada, Hideki Okatani & Yuki Ishida beat Shunma Katsumata, Toui Kojima & Kazuma Sumi. Ishida pinned Sumi after a spinebuster.

DDT tan their monthly “DDT FREE” event today with free admission for those lucky enough to win tickets via a lottery.

Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

The announced attendance was 440, the free equivalent of a legit sellout. No paid admissions today but regardless that is close to normal full capacity for the venue (470-510).

DDT runs their monthly major event today and it’s both running back from what happened during KING OF DDT earlier this year and also potentially shaking up the landscape of the promotion. First, if you are an early bird you could witness the end of those despicable Pheromons…or perhaps what is going to be the most disastrous day in the history of CyberFight Corporation (in a very hilarious only-DDT way). Then at the end, KO-D Openweight Champion Kazusada Higuchi defends the title against his former Eruption factionmate and leader Yukio Sakaguchi, who win or lose wants Higuchi back in the faction after the match along with new teammates Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida. And today is also Higuchi’s birthday. Will the new flagbearer of DDT abide by his former partner’s demands?

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese. Voice actor Takayuki Kondo will be a special guest on commentary. There will be a pre-show dark match scheduled for 30 minutes before the event begins. Including this, I anticipate today’s event having a total runtime of about 3 hours.

Today’s lineup:
Pre-show: Danshoku Dieno & Yuki Iino vs. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Makoto Oishi, Akito & Antonio Honda in a handicap match. If Pheromons lose, they must disband. But if they win, Iino becomes CyberFight Corporation President for a day
Main Show:
Kazuma Sumi Debut Match: Kazuma Sumi vs. Kazuki Hirata
Daisuke Sasaki, Minoru Fujita, MJ Pawl & KANON vs. Shuma Katsumata, Toui Kojima, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani
HARASHIMA & Takeshi Masada vs. Takao Soma & Hikaru Machida
Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku vs. Osamu Nishimura, Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Yuki Ishida
Naomi Yoshimura, Yuji Hino & Chris Brookes vs. Tetsuya Endo, MAO & Yukio Naya
DDT Universal Champion Yuki Ueno vs. Koju Takeda for the title
KO-D Openweight Champion Kazusada Higuchi vs. Yukio Sakaguchi for the title

Pre-show dark match: Danshoku Dieno & Yuki Iino vs. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Makoto Oishi, Akito & Antonio Honda in a handicap match. No time limit
Result: Danshoku Dieno & Yuki Iino beat Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Makoto Oishi, Akito & Antonio Honda. Dieno pinned Takagi after GM Imabayashi turned on Takagi and hit him (weakly) with a chair.

During the opening announcements, it is announced that DDT will be part of a Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) event on 3/31/23 at Ukrainian Cultural Center in Los Angeles, CA and also likely a standalone DDT event on 3/30/23. Joey Janela promo follows. It will be part of an event called The Collective and will feature DDT vs. GCW. Janela is still DDT Extreme Champion. Also, Takao Soma was announced as the new manager of the pro wrestling & sports bar “Dropkick”.

Main show begins now (10:30 PM ET). Your hosts are Haruo Murata, Kagehiro Osano & special guest Takayuki Kondo.

Match 1; Kazuma Sumi Debut Match: Kazuma Sumi vs. Kazuki Hirata. 30 minute time limit
Result; Kazuki Hirata beat Kazuma Sumi by submission. Unlike Takeshi Masada, Sumi had to make his debut in a comedy match. That being said, it was a solid debut and he showed great potential and agility. He has a bright future ahead.

Result: Daisuke Sasaki, Minoru Fujita, MJ Pawl & KANON beat Shunma Katsumata, Toui Kojima, Saki Akai & Hideki Okatani. KANON pinned Kojima after Sleepy Hollow. Afterwards, Sasaki & KANON with microphone. They teased a potential D-KING Grand Prix final between them.

Match 3: HARASHIMA & Takeshi Masada vs. Takao Soma & Hikaru Machida. 30 minute time limit
Result: Takao Soma & Hikaru Machida beat HARASHIMA & Takeshi Masada. Machida pinned Masada.

GM Imabayashi brings out two outside women wrestlers whose names I didn’t catch. They will be the opponents for Saki Akai & Yuki Arai at Tokyo Dome City Hall on 12/29. Will try and update tomorrow with names. One is a champion in another promotion though as she was carrying a blue title belt.

Match 4: Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku vs. Osamu Nishimura, Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Yuki Ishida. 30 minute time limit
Result: Jun Akiyama, Yusuke Okada & Yuya Koroku beat Osamu Nishimura, Shinichiro Kawamatsu & Yuki Ishida. Koroku beat Ishida with a cross armbar.

Result: Naomi Yoshimura, Yuji Hino & Chris Brookes beat Tetsuya Endo, MAO & Yukio Naya. Brookes pinned Naya with a leg clutch rollup.

Akito joins commentary here.
Match 6: DDT Universal Champion Yuki Ueno vs. Koju Takeda for the title. 1 Hour time limit
Result: DDT Universal Champion Yuki Ueno beat Koju Takeda to retain the title. V2 for Ueno.

Main Event: KO-D Openweight Champion Kazusada Higuchi vs. Yukio Sakaguchi for the title. 1 Hour time limit
Result: KO-D Openweight Champion Kazusada Higuchi beat Yukio Sakaguchi to retain the title. V4 for Higuchi. Higuchi was busted open during the match, my first thought was perhaps a broken nose or close to it. Post-match, as far as Sakaguchi’s demand that Higuchi re-join Eruption win or lose, and bring the rest of Harimao (Naomi Yoshimura & Yuki Ishida) with him…it sounds like Higuchi refused. Harimao remains its own faction and Higuchi remains its leader and double champion as he still holds the KO-D Tag Team Championship with Yoshimura.

The next event is Wednesday at Shinjuku Face, which will be this month’s DDT FREE event. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 2:30 AM PT/5:30 AM ET.

UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 701, a legit sellout.

Saori Anou & Rika Kawabata are the opponents for Akai & Arai on 12/29. At this time it is, assuming AA Eye Candy are still the Tokyo Joshi Pro Princess Tag Team Champions at the time, a NON-TITLE match. Also announced for 12/29 is Higuchi defending the KO-D Openweight Championship against the D-KING Grand Prix winner, unless Higuchi wins the tournament. Then it’s TBA. Konosuke Takeshita was also announced for this event, suggesting that if reports of his returning to All Elite Wrestling are true, he’ll be back there for about 2 months.

Toru Owashi beat Kazuki Hirata. This all led to a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Championship challenge alongside Dragon Gate star Naruki Doi. That will happen on 11/12 in Osaka.

Match 3: Yuki Ishida beat Danshoku Dieno. Sanshiro Takagi was special referee and assisted. This set up a big match between Takagi’s army and Pheromons for 10/23-if Pheromons lose, they must disband. But if Takagi’s team loses, Yuki Iino becomes President of CyberFight Corporation (DDT Group owner) for a day. Yikes.
