DDT 10/10/22 Results (2 Events)

DDT ran an “only DDT could do it” doubleheader today, first running a traditional event then coming back at midnight for a special hot springs wrestling event, part of the wacky, unusual comedy style DDT is known for.

Event 1:
Today’s first event was held at Komikyo Higashinari Civic Center in Osaka and will be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE at a later date. There was no live broadcast.

The announced paid attendance was 280, a super full house/very near sellout.

Pre-Show Match: Yusuke Okada & Yuki Ishida beat Takao Soma & Takeshi Masada. Okada pinned Masada after Sudden Death.

During the opening greeting & announcements, the opening shout was by DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Keiko Takeshita, Konosuke Takeshita’s mother. Both Kazuki Hirata & referee Matsui (the event’s sponsor) tried to win the belt, which is contested under 24/7 rules anytime, anywhere as long as there is a referee present. Both failed.

Match 2: Yuki Iino & Danshoku Dieno vs. Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata, Sanshiro Takagi & Makoto Oishi and Trans Am Hiroshi & Yoshihiko went to a no contest in just 54 seconds. GM Imabayashi stoppage. Which led to…
In an elimination match, Yuki Iino, Danshoku Dieno, Trans Am Hiroshi & Yoshihiko beat Kazuki Hirata, Sanshiro Takahi, Makoto Oishi & Toru Owashi. Yoshihiko was the only winner, last eliminating Hirata. For those unfamiliar with DDT, Yoshihiko is a life-size blow-up sex doll. Ridiculous, absolutely, but the stuff the wrestlers can do on their own with it is just incredible.

Match 3: Toui Kojima & Harutoki beat Hideki Okatani & Yuya Koroku. Kojima pinned Koroku after Kojima in Wonderland.

Match 4: Shuji Ishikawa, Yukio Sakaguchi & Chris Brookes beat Magnitude Kishiwada, Yuji Hino & Yukio Naya. Sakaguchi pinned Naya after God’s Right Knee.

The announced paid attendance was 30, a legit sellout. Fans attending had to wear swimsuits.

This was a one-match event: In a Falls Count Anywhere match, Shunma Katsumata & Toui Kojima beat Yukio Naya & Yuya Koroku. Katsumata pinned Koroku after Tortoise Splash onto a water back. This match went just a few seconds short of 1 hour.

The next event is Wednesday at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo headlined by a KO-D Tag Team Championship match. Vocal cheering will be allowed so capacity will be reduced. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 2:30 AM PT/5:30 AM ET.

DDT Pro Wrestling “WHO’S GONNA TOP? 2022” Results (9/25/22)

DDT runs their monthly major event today, this month finishing up the “WHO’S GONNA TOP? 2022” tour with an event headlined by a pair of big title matches. First up, DDT Universal Champion Yuki Ueno defends against the oddly artistic Cara Noir in perhaps an offbeat battle of the best entrances in the promotion (Noir’s Black Swan-esque entrance may be longer than the actual match!). Then, in the main event, KO-D Openweight Champion Kazusada Higuchi continues his flag-bearing path of wanting the best and getting the best as he defends the title against former champion Konosuke Takeshita.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese and English. Japanese anime voice actress Mayu Iizuka returns as a guest on Japanese commentary for the second consecutive live broadcast after being a guest at last week’s Jun Akiyama 30th Anniversary event. The English commentary team will be Baliyan Akki & Christelle Ciari. There is a pre-show dark match scheduled 20 minutes before the event that likely will be part of the live broadcast so if you want to possibly catch that match, tune in when the live stream launches.

Today’s lineup:
Pre-show Match: Hideki Okatani & Toui Kojima vs. Yuya Koroku & Yuki Ishida
Main Show:
MAO, Asuka (Veny) & Saki Akai vs. Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda

Match 2: Shinya Aoki vs. Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Iino in a 3-way for Aoki’s “Money In The Bank” NFT that allows the holder to challenge for any DDT title anytime, anywhere. 30 minute time limit
Result: Shinya Aoki beat Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Iino by pinning Katsumata to retain the NFT. Aoki won after turning himself into one of the Pheromones to cap what of course was a ridiculous comedy match. But that’s what makes DDT what it is.

The D KING GRAND PRIX Participants are announced: Yuki Ueno, Naomi Yoshimura, Joey Janela, Tetsuya Endo, Daisuke Sasaki and RSP (Rickey Shane Page) in Block A, Kazusada HIguchi, Chris Brookes, MAO, Yuji Hino, KANON and Yukio Naya in Block B.

Match 6: DDT Universal Champion Yuki Ueno vs. Cara Noir for the title. 1 Hour time limit
Result: DDT Universal Champion Yuki Ueno beat Cara Noir to retain the title. V1 for Ueno. Next up: One of those despicable Pheromones, namely Koju Takeda, who was not there but delivered a challenge via an iPhone transported in Yuki Iino’s butt. Seriously. GM Imabayashi made it official.

Main Event: KO-D Openweight Champion Kazusada Higuchi vs. Konosuke Takeshita for the title. 1 Hour time limit
Result: KO-D Openweight Champion Kazusada Higuchi beat Konosuke Takeshita to retain the title. V2 for Higuchi. (This would seem to give weight to rumors I read on US news sites earlier in the day that Takeshita may be returning to All Elite Wrestling in October, plus his not being in the D KING GRAND PRIX) Next up: Possibly Shinya Aoki. He came out to give Higuchi a fist bump before leaving. Could be cashing in the NFT soon for a title shot. Or not. Because next up will be…Yukio Sakaguchi. That will happen at an upcoming Korakuen event, , which could be 10/12 or 10/23…the latter is Higuchi’s birthday. Updates will follow but remember Higuchi left Sakaguchi’s Eruption faction when he won the title earlier this year by winning the KING OF DDT Tournament. Now Sakaguchi wants his.

The next event is a Tetsuya Endo Homecoming & 10th Anniversary Event on 10/2 at Shiroishi White Cube in Miyagi. There will be no live broadcast.

UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 701, a legit sellout.
Both title matches coming out of this-Ueno-Iino for the Universal Championship and Higuchi-Sakaguchi for the KO-D Openweight Championship-will happen on 10/23 at Korakuen.

DDT Pro Wrestling “STERNNESS 30th Anniversary” Results (9/18/22)

30 years ago, a babyfaced TAKA Michinoku-lookalike named Jun Akiyama debuted in Japan. A lot of potential and high expectations were quickly placed upon the young prospect, and for a while it seemed he would live up to them in All-Japan Pro Wrestling. He would be part of the mass exodus at the end of the 1990s that left to form Pro Wrestling NOAH with the late Mitsuharu Misawa. Then injuries and inconsistency struck and it looked like those expectations wouldn’t be met, but over time he got healthy, turned things around and did reach those lofty peaks. He shocked the Japanese wrestling landscape in 2020 by jumping to DDT after his contract expired, and today DDT celebrates the 30th Anniversary of Akiyama’s debut with a special event that will feature partners and rivals from his days in New Japan Pro Wrestling, All-Japan Pro Wrestling and Pro Wrestling NOAH as well as the best of DDT. And of course among the special guests will be the opponent in Akiyama’s 1992 debut match-none other than THE GOD himself, Kenta Kobashi. And with vocal cheering by fans allowed, it promises to be a very special celebration for the founder of STERNNESS.

Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese. Kenta Kobashi will be a special guest on commentary along with Japanese voice actor Mayu Iizuka. I anticipate the event’s total running time being about 3 hours.

Today’s lineup (in order):
Yusuke Okada vs. Yuya Koroku
Yuki Iino, Danshoku Dieno, Yumehito Imanari & Koju Takeda vs. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Antonio Honda & Kazuki Hirata
HARASHIMA, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani vs. Akito, Takao Soma & Yukio Naya
Kazusada Higuchi, Yuki Ishida, Yuji Hino & Makoto Oishi vs. Daisuke Sasaki, Minoru Fujita, MJ Pawl & KANON
Yuki Ueno, MAO & Toui Kojima vs. Cara Noir, Chris Brookes & Masa Takanashi
Naomi Yoshimura vs. Takeshi Masada
Jun Akiyama 30th Anniversary Match: Jun Akiyama, Yoshinobu Kanemaru (New Japan Pro Wrestling) & Tetsuya Endo vs. Yuji Nagata (New Japan Pro Wrestling), Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

Updates below will begin at 10:30 PM ET/7:30 PM PT. The stream on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will go live at 10 PM ET/7 PM PT.

10:15 PM ET UPDATE: Live updates begin now…
We are :LIVE from Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan. Your hosts are Haruo Murata, Kagehiro Osano & Mayu Iizuka.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. The crowd is still filing in. Due to vocal support being allowed, maximum capacity will be further reduced below what it normally has been since the pandemic began and fans were allowed to attend again. That means if it’s a legit sellout, the max attendance would probably be 700. Between weather, sumo and other events my guess will be they’ll finish right around 500.

The matches should begin in about 20-25 minutes.During GM Imabayashi’s greeting and opening announcements, upcoming title matches are announced, of note being added is DDT Universal Champion Yuki Ueno vs. Cara Noir for the title on 9/25. There also will be a Street Wrestling match on 10/10 with Toui Kojima & Shunma Katsumata vs. Yukio Naya & Yuya Koroku. On 10/12, Kazusada HIguchi & Naomi Yoshimura defend the KO-D Tag Team Championship against Daisuke Sasaki & KANON.
The final event of 2022 will be 12/29 at Tokyo Dome City Hall. A second Akiyama 30th Anniversary event will be held on 12/10 in Osaka.
The Burning faction sans Akiyama comes out for the opening shout to start the event, leading into the opening video and match lineup. Right on time (10:30 PM ET). During the opening video we see footage from last week’s Muscle events, which are now available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. This is more theater than wrestling although each had a marathon match.

Match 1: Yusuke Okada vs. Yuya Koroku. 30 minute time limit
Result: Yusuke Okada beat Yuya Koroku

Match 2: Yuki Iino, Danshoku Dieno, Yumehito Imanari & Koju Takeda vs. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Antonio Honda & Kazuki Hirata. 30 minute time limit
Result: No Contest. GM Imabayashi stoppage as Iino was about to fully remove this thong and go completely naked in the dark. Obviously this was a ridiculous comedy match. Oh, and Imanari’s shaved off his mustache since losing the Spirit Of Ganbare World Openweight Championship a few weeks ago.

Match 3: HARASHIMA, Yukio Sakaguchi & Hideki Okatani vs. Akito, Takao Soma & Yukio Naya. 30 minute time limit

The next event is WHO’S GONNA TOP? 2022 on 9/25 at Korakuen Hall. In addition to 2 title matches (Ueno-Noir for the DDT Universal Championship and Higuchi-Takeshita for the KO-D Openweight Championship), the “Money In The Bank” title shot rights held by Shinya Aoki will be challenged for by Katsumata & Iino. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin Saturday at 10:30 PM ET/7:30 PM PT but there is a dark match scheduled so it may begin a few minutes earlier.
