DDT News: 2024 Monthly Big Events Schedule, 27th Anniversary, More

Some DDT and also TJPW news:

DDT announced their 27th Anniversary event today, which is part of their Korakuen Hall 2024 schedule announcement. Except for the first one on 1/3, all 2024 Korakuen events will be Sunday morning starts (Saturday nights US time, meaning always-ideal 6:30/7:30 PM PT) with the 27th Anniversary being early afternoon and again being a planned 5 HOUR event (this is DDT after all). Ticket pre-orders for WRESTLE UNIVERSE members/subscribers will run from 12/7-12/11 and will run $40-130 US. General public sales start 12/14. The Korakuen 2024 dates are as follows (Sunday 11:30 AM JST/Saturday 6:30/7:30 PM PT unless noted): 1/3 (Wednesday, 6:30 PM JST-2:30 AM PT), 1/28, 2/25, 3/17 (27th Anniversary, 2 PM JST-10 PM PT), 4/7, 5/5 (6:30 PM JST), 5/26, 6/30, 8/12 (Monday-holiday in Japan, Sunday night US time), 8/25 (6:30 PM JST), 9/29, 10/20, 11/23 (Saturday-holiday in Japan), 12/22.

In TJPW, a press conference was held today for Friday’s Princess Of Princess Championship match between Miyu Yamashita & Regina. It was comedy at the start as Regina was acting like a tourist, with a cup of coffee & lounging while on her phone. MC/ring announcer Sayuri Namba had to ask Yamashita for help with asking Regina in English to put the phone down. (Side note: Namba does speak some English but not much). DDT posted a funny early-presser pic on their website under the related article. Hopefully they’ll get video on YouTube too.

TJPW also announced Yuka Sakazaki’s final event with the promotion will now be 12/6 at Kitazawa Town Hall in Tokyo. The original plan was 12/1 at Korakuen Hall, but Sakazaki & the promotion decided on 12/6 because Kitazawa Town Hall will be the host for the TJPW 10th Anniversary event that day. Sakazaki appeared and noted she has been medically cleared to return to action (she suffered a neck injury earlier this year and has been out since June) and, when asked about going overseas, just said (translated loosely to English), “everything will go as planned”. (Overseas probably means All Elite Wrestling first & foremost as Sakazaki has always been part of their roster). Her remaining TJPW dates are also set: Friday, 11/3, 11/5, 11/19, 11/23, 11/26, 12/1, 12/6. Except for Friday, all matches are TBA.
