DDT “PROGRESS AND HARMONY OF WRESTLING”, 17/08/2013
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan
1. Wrestling Style Vs Van: BiS Vs DPG
2. All Night Nippon GOLD Personality Battle Royal: Sanshiro Takagi Vs X
3. Idol Lumberjack 3 Way Match: Makoto Oishi (Sizukaze & Kizuna ～KIZUNA～) Vs Yuko Miyamoto (LinQ) Vs Winner of 6/7 Up Up Girls Match (Up Up Girls)
4. Danshoku Dino Vs Kota Ibushi
Danshoku Dino Vs Kota Ibushi is confirmed as the main event for Night 1. This event is more of a entertainment variety show rather than a typical pro wrestling show (which DDT doesn’t do that often at Sumo Hall anyway).
The Idol Lumberjack 3 Way Match is exactly what it sounds like. Each idol group will represent a wrestler and then surround the ring as the lumberjacks. They will be armed with weapons and are allowed to attack anyone who leaves the ring. Any wrestler who comes into physical contact with an idol will be immediately disqualified. Makoto Oishi and Yuko Miyamoto are two of the confirmed participants. The third will be decided in a match between Sanshiro Takagi and Isami Kodaka that takes place on 14th July. So far the idol groups involved are Sizukaze & Kizuna ～KIZUNA～ on Oishi’s side, LinQ on Miyamoto’s side and the Up Up Girls siding with the remaining wrestler.
The Battle Royal is sponsored by the All Night Nippon GOLD radio programme.
The opening contest involves two male music groups that Hiroshi Fukuda has some association with.
Mita Sayako from Samurai! TV and Ryota Yamasato from Nankai Candies are the two hosts for the show. Other artists and personalities scheduled to appear are Tetsu Watanabe (Antonio Honda’s father), Kenji Sakaguchi (Yukio Sakaguchi’s brother), Kenji Otsuki and Jun Retsu.
DDT “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2013”, 18/08/2013
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan
1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – “Research Group” Battle Royal: Komyo (c) Vs X
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs 2013 King Of DDT Winner
Komyo is a large framed autograph from artist Akihiro Miwa and it is currently the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. Komyo is also currently in possession of a Research Institute Group and most likely won’t show up at another wrestling event before this show. So it’s probably safe to say the painting will stay as champion until the show takes place. Unless DJ Nira sneaks into the building with a hammer.
Last but not least, I assume many of you have seen the poster advertising the two shows? The nude photographs of the DDT roster were taken by professional photographer Leslie Kee and are part of a photobook DDT will release that weekend. Don’t worry, it won’t be exclusively nude photos.
