D-Oh Grand Prix
The D-Oh Grand Prix (Japanese: D王 GRAND PRIX, Hepburn: Dī Ō Guran Puri) is an annual professional wrestling tournament hosted by the DDT Pro-Wrestling (DDT) promotion. Though DDT also runs the annual King of DDT Tournament, the D-Oh Grand Prix is different in that it is round-robin, whereas the King of DDT is a single-elimination tournament. Like the King of DDT however, the winner of the tournament receives a shot at the KO-D Openweight Championship.
The tournament was created by DDT producer Danshoku Dino in August 2017 and later confirmed in November.
After the first edition was held in January 2018, the second edition had to be held in December 2018 while retaining the name "D-Oh Grand Prix 2019". This offset between the tournament title and the year it was actually held persisted until 2021 where the tournament (held between November and December 2021) was entitled "D-Oh Grand Prix 2021 II".
Shuji Ishikawa is the inaugural winner of the tournament; Konosuke Takeshita is the only two-time winner.
The 2018 edition of the D-Oh Grand Prix was announced on August 20, 2017, and the participants were later announced on November 23. The tournament ran over eight shows from January 5 to January 28, 2018. It included Jiro "Ikemen" Kuroshio from the Wrestle-1 promotion.
The 2019 edition was announced on October 21, 2018, and the participants were later announced on the same day. The tournament ran over nine shows from November 30 until December 30, 2018. The tournament included Go Shiozaki from Pro Wrestling Noah who made his first appearance in a D-Oh Grand Prix as did Shinya Aoki, Sammy Guevara, Mao and Puma King. Because Konosuke Takeshita entered the tournament as the reigning Ironman Heavymetalweight Champion, multiple matches in block B and the finals of the tournament were contested for the title due to its 24/7 rule.
The 2020 tournament was announced on September 29, 2019, and the participants were later announced on the same day. The tournament was held from November 29 until December 28, 2019. This year's edition included Chihiro Hashimoto from the Sendai Girls' Pro Wrestling promotion. Chris Brookes, Yuki Iino, Bull James, Masato Tanaka, Yuki Ueno and Naomi Yoshimura made their first appearance in the tournament.
The 2021 tournament was announced on September 7, 2020, at Get Alive 2020 and the participants were later announced on November 3, at Ultimate Party 2020. The tournament was held from November 22 until December 27, 2020. Making their D-Oh Grand Prix debut were Shunma Katsumata, Makoto Oishi and Jun Akiyama. Daisuke Sasaki was diagnosed with a fractured rib after his first match and had to withdraw from the rest of the tournament.
