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.

History

edit

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".[1] 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.

Rules

edit
  • The matches are fought to one fall with a 30 minutes time limit. The final has no time limit.
  • The participants are divided into two blocks, A and B, and fight in a round-robin using a points system; two points for a victory, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss.
  • The winners from the two blocks go on to fight in the final to decide the D-Oh Grand Prix winner.
  • The D-Oh Grand Prix winner, assuming they do not already hold the KO-D Openweight Championship, obtain first contendership to the title and receive a title shot.

2019

edit

The 2019 edition was announced on October 21, 2018, and the participants were later announced on the same day.[19] 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.

2021 II

edit

On July 4, 2021, DDT announced the next tournament would be named "D-Oh Grand Prix 2021 II", thus ending the trend of the name not matching the year. This edition ran from November 3 to December 5 and featured only 12 participants.[50] Konosuke Takeshita became the first wrestler to win the D-Oh Grand Prix while holding the KO-D Openweight Championship and the first to win two editions. Kenta Kobashi was the special observer for the tournament.[51]
