TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE FOURTH MEETING”, 06/06/2013
Shibuya Deseo

1. KANNA Vs Shoko Nakajima
2. Miyu Yamashita Vs Chikage Kiba

After defeating KANNA at the last event, Chikage Kiba wants to become the ace of Tokyo Joshi Pro by beating Miyu Yamashita. Miyu is currently undefeated with a record of two wins and one draw.

Shoko Nakajima is the newest trainee for Tokyo Joshi Pro. Nakajima is from Niigata and was born on 19th July, 1991. She is 147cm high, has blood type A, likes theatre and comedy and is nicknamed Nakaji. Nakajima only began watching live wrestling a while ago and was inspired to become one because she enjoys to perform in front of an audience. Although she is new to wrestling, her father is a fan so she aims to be like her father’s favourite wrestler Chaparrita ASARI. Her debut match against KANNA will only be a three minute exhibition bout and she may change her name and ring gear when she has her first official match.


DDT “OSAKA 24 ZONE TOUR ~ KITA WARD” Results

May 12, 2013

DDT “OSAKA 24 ZONE TOUR ~ KITA WARD”, 12/05/2013
Osaka Umeda Nasci Hall
350 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & “El Samurai” (Kazuki Hirata) defeated Yukio Sakaguchi, Masa Takanashi & Michael Nakazawa when Samurai pinned Nakazawa with the Devil Windmill Suplex (7:06).
2. Takao Soma defeated DJ Nira after Yukinori Matsui did the Boma Ye on Nira (6:42).
3. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi defeated Antonio Honda & Shoichi Uchida when Oishi pinned Honda with the Jikiden Tornado Clutch (12:55).

5. MIKAMI defeated Daisuke Sasaki by Disqualification after a Referee Assault (13:04).
*The Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract does not changes hands.
6. Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Kizaemon Saiga defeated KUDO, Yasu Urano & FUMA when Omga pinned FUMA after the Golden Impact (14:29).
7. Next KO-D Openweight Title Challenger Decision Match: Hikaru Sato defeated HARASHIMA with a Leg Trap Reverse Armbreaker (20:43).

Hikaru Sato will face Shigehiro Irie for the KO-D Openweight Title in Hiroshima on 26th May.

The Golden Impact is a Double Stacked Doomsday Spinning Heel Kick. Kenny Omega had Kota Ibushi sitting on his shoulders while Ibushi had the victim FUMA sitting on top of him. Then Kizaemon Saiga leapt high off the top rope and struck FUMA with the Spinning Heel Kick.

Daisuke Sasaki has discovered a loophole for the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract. Much like championships, the contract cannot change hands via disqualification. Sasaki was about to be defeated by MIKAMI when Shoichi Uchida grabbed Daisuke Kiso and pulled him out of the ring. Sasaki was DQ’ed but he did not lose his contract to MIKAMI.

“El Samurai” was really Kazuki Hirata wearing the former’s mask. Michael Nakazawa didn’t fall for the disguise and was able to unmask him but at the cost of being pinned by Hirata immediately afterward.

Emi Sakura defeated DJ Nira with a La Magistral Cradle (12:06).
*Emi Sakura wins DJ Nira’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

One of the active Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts changed hands outside of DDT for the first time. Emi Sakura defeated DJ Nira in the main event of yesterday’s Gatoh Move show in Ichigaya, the same building where Ganbare☆Wrestling held their event the day before. Masa Takanashi was there as the referee for the no time limit main event while Tetsuya Endo and Tokyo Women’s Wrestling manager Tetsuya Koda was also in attendence (Koda was the person who broke the news on DDT’s website). Nira fought his hardest, targeting Sakura’s finger and hitting the DJ Time, but in the end Sakura rolled him up with La Magistral Cradle to win the match and take possession of his contract.

Nana Kawasa Vs L.A. DIVINE was cancelled when Divine refused to fight “such a pretty girl” and wanted to fight a man instead. Tatsuhiko Yoshino from Guts World accepted the challenge. DIVINE grabbed Yoshino’s crotch during the match and then deeply kissed the referee when he tried to stop her. The ref claimed he was assaulted and disqualified her. DIVINE then demanded she wanted to do a sexy boy so it was decided she will face Shinichiro Tominaga on 2nd June.

6. DDT Extreme Title – TLC Falls Count Anywhere Street Fighter 2 Match: Kenny Omega (c) defeated Isami Kodaka with the One-Winged Angel (26:19).
*V3 for Kenny Omega.

Let it be known, the Kamehameha cannot beat the Hadouken. Kenny Omega defeated Isami Kodaka in a chaotic TLC Falls Count Anywhere match. After the match Kenny thanked Union for the fun he had wrestling there and said goodbye, leaving with the DDT Extreme Title. Nobody was nominated to be the No. 1 Contender so it is possible the championship will return to DDT full time in the future. Kodaka was very upset he could not win. He was raised to be a Union Warrior but felt he wasn’t good enough to represent them. Naomi Susan gave him words of encouragement and promised he will get to do fun things with wrestling. The Nazo Fukumen tried to attack the Union Sekigun after the show but they were easily dismantled.

It took eight years but Cherry has finally become a Union champion after winning the Fly To Everywhere Title from Kaori Yoneyama. It was a 3 Way Elimination match with Nazo Fukumen B also involved. The masked woman was eliminated early when interference from Nazo Fukumen A backfired and got her Speared by accident. Cherry was then able to pin Yoneyama with the Fantasy Illusion. Although the 38 year old considers herself an enemy to young people, she has learned it is important to accept her age and not let that get in the way of her dreams.

Kyohei Wada had the honour of trying to officiate the mess that was the Aipoke World Title decision match. Everyone involved wanted to win the attention of idol Aino Kishi but FUMA seemed to be the most enamoured with her. Things went bad for FUMA when Sanshiro Takagi and Jun Kasai began calling him a smelly virgin as they hit him. Hiroshi Fukuda stole the win after pinning FUMA with a School Boy. Fukuda proposed to Kishi afterwards but she turned him down, explaining that Kyohei Wada is more her type. Fukuda wanted to kiss her so she would change her mind but he was slapped unconscious instead. Meanwhile, Shigehiro Irie could be seen in the bleachers dancing along to Kishi’s exit music “Banana Mango High School” by Ebisu Muscats. Your KO-D Champion, ladies and gentlemen…

Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang were able to immobilise SAGAT with a mystical sealing ward until Ryu Gouma came to the rescue and freed him from the trap. SAGAT cleared got revenge on Shiryu by biting him in the neck. After winning the match, Gouma legally declared SAGAT a human being even though he still looked and acted like a Chinese vampire. That’s not all, Shiryu began to jump and hop like a vampire when he regained conciousness.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) defeated Kota Ibushi with the Vertical Drop Back Flip (18:57).
*V3 for Shigehiro Irie.

If it wasn’t clear before, it’s clear now. Shigehiro Irie is the man to beat in DDT. Today Irie scored a major victory over Kota Ibushi, knocking off his toughest challenger to keep the KO-D Openweight Title. Ibushi refused a handshake after the match but made up for it by raising Irie’s arm and admitting defeat. Daisuke Sasaki, MIKAMI and DJ Nira all came out taunting Irie with their Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts but none of them wanted to cash it in just yet. Since there was no clear challenger for the belt, Tsurumi Amon decided that HARASHIMA and Hikaru Sato will have a No. 1 Contender’s match in Osaka on 12th May. The winner will face Irie for the title in Hiroshima on 26th May. Irie misunderstood and thought he will have to defend the title in a 2 Vs 1 Handicap match. He relaxed when it was explained to him that wasn’t what was going to happen.

The KO-D Tag Team Championship is the first title Yukio Sakaguchi has ever won. He was very happy to win it.

DJ Nira was able to pin El Samurai when Michael Nakazawa pulled off Samurai’s mask with the Ultimate Venom Arm. Samurai used Nakazawa’s tights to cover his face but Nira capitalised and rolled him over for the pin.

MIKAMI announced a one night 8-Man tournament for Cruiser’s Game 11 in Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 2nd June. The tournament will be a celebration of Jr. Heavyweight wrestling.
