DDT “FIRST MANA, TSUGARU SUPPORT” Results

September 5, 2013

DDT “FIRST MANA, TSUGARU SUPPORT”, 01/09/2013
Aomori Industrial Hall
297 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Kazuki Hirata with a Back Drop Hold (5:56).
2. Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Michael Nakazawa with a Penalty Kick (8:11).
3. Kenny Omega & Gota Ihashi defeated Hikaru Sato & Masa Takanashi when Omega pinned Takanashi with the Croyt’s Wrath (13:37).
4. Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma defeated Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki when Ishii pinned Sasaki with a Tiger Suplex (13:48).
5. 3 Way Match: Kota Ibushi and Shigehiro Irie both defeated DJ Nira with a Double Tornado Bomb (9:54).
6. HARASHIMA, KUDO & Yasu Urano defeated Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Akito when HARASHIMA pinned Oishi with the Somato (14:30).

We got a Human Centipede in the main event with Danshoku Dino’s team winding up in the uncomfortable position. It ended with everyone in the match wrestling bare-assed.

DJ Nira got the opportunity to do something he always wanted. Nira always admired Kota Ibushi’s figh flying ability and wanted to do a dive just like him. Unfortunately both Ibushi and Shigehiro Irie easily caught him and together gave him a Tornado Bomb to share a win.
