No changes here besides me finally getting Soma Takao’s name right. How the hell did we not realise we typed his name backwards for his entire career?

7. DDT Extreme Title – 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dino (c) Vs Kenny Omega Vs Antonio Honda

A 3 way grudge has built up between Danshoku Dino, Kenny Omega and Antonio Honda over the DDT Extreme Title. After Dino won the belt from Omega, he had his first defence against Honda. Omega demanded to be added to the match and when he was denied, he interfered in the match attacking both men and ultimately stopped Honda from becoming champion. A Triple Threat match is the solution. Hopefully we get a match stipulation that determines once and for all who should be the champion.

The HARASHIMA Vs Yasu Urano build up continues with UraShimaKudo splitting into two teams for a match.

Drift Appears In All Japan, All Asia Title Challenge!

September 11, 2013

drift-ajpw

Team Dream Futures appeared in Korakuen Hall for today’s All Japan show and they came for a reason. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie and Soma Takao arrived wearing suits and had prepared a written statement. However, Ishii couldn’t hold his tongue for long and gave up trying to be polite. He instead said what he wanted to say all along. Ishii grew up loving All Japan and was even a trainee in their dojo. But he dropped out and ran away. His wrestling career took a different road in DDT where he became friends with Irie and Soma. Together they grew up and Ishii shared with them his dream of winning an All Japan championship. Now they want that dream to come true. Ishii announced he wants to challenge Kotaro Suzuki & Atsushi Aoki for the All Asia Tag Team Titles. Aoki came out and welcomed the challenge but it has not been officially accepted yet. It looks like Ishii and Irie will be the team representing Drift in the potential title match.

DDT “GO! GO! WEST TOUR IN HAKATA 2013” Results

September 8, 2013

DDT “GO! GO! WEST TOUR IN HAKATA 2013”, 08/09/2013
Hakata Sazanpia
369 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Michael Nakazawa 3 Match Trial – Match 2: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Michael Nakazawa with the Tokyo Olympics Rotation (7:31).
2. Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma defeated Masa Takanashi & Azul Dragon when Soma pinned Takanashi with the Gin & Tonic (8:54).
3. Yuto Aijima defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (7:37).
4. Special Zondag 3 Way Match: Kenny Omega and Konosuke Takeshita both defeated Batten Tamagawa with the Idaho! Minnesota! Mississipi! Elbow (7:51).
5. Keisuke Ishii defeated Makoto Oishi with the Tiger Suplex (9:50).
6. DDT Extreme Title – Batten Tamagawa Ironman Match: Danshoku Dino (c) (1) defeated Antonio Honda (0) (15:00).
6a. Danshoku Dino defeated Batten Tamagawa with the Danshoku Nightmare (3:27) (1-0).
6b. Antonio Honda defeated Batten Tamagawa by Pinfall (5:59) (1-1).
6c. Antonio Honda defeated Batten Tamagawa with La Magistral (8:39) (1-2).
6d. Batten Tamagawa defeated Antonio Honda by Pinfall after Kenny Omega struck Honda with the Extreme Title (14:29) (1-0).
*V1 for Danshoku Dino.
7. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & KUDO defeated MIKAMI, Hikaru Sato & Yukio Sakaguchi when Urano pinned MIKAMI with the Tombstone Piledriver (17:19).

Yasu Urano told HARASHIMA that he is proud to team with a great champion and he hopes HARASHIMA will feel the same way when he wins the KO-D Openweight Title from him. HARASHIMA says he will win because he trains.

The DDT Extreme Title was defended in a 15 minute Ironman match with a difference. Danshoku Dino and Antonio Honda were both joined in the ring by Batten Tamagawa. Pinning or submitting Tamagawa would earn you a point but you would lose two points if Tamagawa defeated you. When the match was announced halfway through the show, Kenny Omega demanded to be included. His claim was denied because the contract was already signed. Kenny intruded on the match in the final minute to give Dino the Danshoku Driver. He then struck Honda with the Extreme Title belt. Kenny’s actions cost Honda the title as Tamagawa pinned him with seconds remaining, reducing his score back to zero. After the match Honda angrily demanded a 3 Way match between himself, Dino and Kenny to determine once and for all who deserves the Extreme Title. The match will take place in Yokohama on 23rd September.

Keisuke Ishii noted that it has been one year since the formation of Team Dream Futures. Since then Shigehiro Irie became the KO-D Champion while Ishii himself believes he has grown as a wrestler. He talked about when he was a young trainee in another organisation but he ran away from them. Now he wants to prove he is strong enough to fight them. The name of that organisation, you ask? All Japan Pro Wrestling! He will appeal to All Japan for a match and has the support of his Drift team mates. Tsurumi Amon pretended he didn’t hear Ishii but then offered to help and do what he can to set up an inter-promotional match in the future.

Kenny Omega and Konosuke Takeshita both defeated Batten Tamagawa in a 3 Way match. Kenny then beat Takeshita in a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors to unofficially determine the winner.

In the second match of his latest series, Michael Nakazawa wanted to wrestle as a fresh faced rookie. Like last time he became impatient and went for the Ultimate Venom Arm only for Sanshiro Takagi to avoid it and beat him with a move named after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. After the match Nakazawa demanded that the third and final match of his trial should be a 60 minute Falls Count Anywhere Ironman match.

Takamatsu Symbol Tower Exhibition Centre
255 Fans

2. 3 Way Match: Yoshihiko defeated MIKAMI and Antonio Honda when Yoshihiko pinned MIKAMI with the Rokudo Rinne (8:41).
3. Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma defeated Hikaru Sato & Makoto Oishi when Irie pinned Oishi with the Flying Sausage (13:26).

5. KUDO & Yasu Urano defeated Kenny Omega & Masa Takanashi when KUDO pinned Takanashi with the Diving Double Knee Drop (13:27).
6. Shikoku Special 4 Way Match: HARASHIMA defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Danshoku Dino and Keisuke Ishii (10:40).
6a. Keisuke Ishii eliminated Danshoku Dino with the Kneel Kick (5:12).
6b. Keisuke Ishii eliminated Konosuke Takeshita by Ring Out (8:38).
6c. HARASHIMA eliminated Keisuke Ishii with the Somato (10:40).

Kota Ibushi was hospitalised after an emergency during the week when he suffered a kidney infection. He has pulled out of both shows this weekend as a result. Konosuke Takeshita took his place in the 4 Way main event while Yoshihiko was also added to the card to make up for Ibushi’s absence.

Michael Nakazawa’s intention for his latest trial series is to perform long championship level matches. However he eventually became impatient and went for the kill with an Ultimate Venom Arm. Sanshiro Takagi blocked it, forced Nakazawa’s hand and tights into his own mouth and then delivered the Sit Down Himawari Bomb to win.

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.
