*The Golden Lovers fails in V2. Shuten-dōji becomes the 10th KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!

The drinks are on Shuten-dōji tonight because they are the new KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions! The main even saw Yukio Sakaguchi pin Daisuke Sasaki to end the Golden Lovers’ reign. Masa Takanashi taunted Kota Ibushi after the match for thinking the Lovers were going to win. Sakaguchi simply said “Today we won the belts. Kanpai!” and the new champs celebrated with a drink.

Even though he lost his match today, Gorgeous Matsuno demanded Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie to give him an All Asia Tag Team Title match on the 6th May Yamagata show.

The wrestlers’ bus was delayed by Golden Week traffic and only arrived 20 minutes after the building doors opened for the fans. The show was scheduled to begin with a Triple Threat match but only Konosuke Takeshita and Tomomitsu Matsunaga entered the ring. Just when they were about to start wrestling, Michael Nakazawa finally appeared yelling “Wait a minute!” and he rushed to the ring so the planned match can go ahead. Takeshita pinned him in 8 seconds with a Dropkick. They agreed to restart the match and Takeshita eventually pinned Nakazawa again.

8. Special Tag Match: Osamu Namiguchi & Crusher Takahashi defeated Yumehito Imanari & Tigger Bed Scene when Namiguchi submitted Bed Scene with a Half Crab (16:17).
9. Ganbare☆Martial Arts Open Tournament – Final: Tatsuhito Takaiwa defeated Shota by Knockout with the Death Valley Bomb (10:38).

This show was built around the Ganbare☆Martial Arts Open Tournament, pitting 8 fighters with different styles against each other in a playoff. Matches could be won by pinfall, submission, a 10 count KO or a 10 count outside the ring. In the first round Ken Ohka (Pro Wrestling) defeated Megane (Taekwando), Shota (American Wrestling) defeated Shibata Maeda (Mixed Martial Arts) and Yuki Shizuku (Amateur Wrestling) defeated Gorikiko (Judo). One of the unknown fighters invited to compete declined to participate, allowing Jr. Heavyweight wrestler Tatsuhito Takaiwa (Tai Chi) a bye into the semi finals. In the semis Ohka and Shota were both counted outside of the ring leading to a draw. The match was immediately restarted and Shota dove onto Ohka from the apron. The two were in danger of getting counted out again until Shota entered the ring before the ref counted ten. Shota celebrated his victory by getting the audience to chant “Yes!” over and over. Taikawa defeated Shizuku by submission to meet Shota in the final. Takaiwa then knocked out Shota with his patented Death Valley Bomb to win the tournament. Taikawa offered a handshake to Shota after the match but instead knocked him down with a Lariat. He took the mic and said he never wanted to be in the tournament and does not know Tai Chi. He called Ganbare☆Wrestling a scum company for lying about him. Ohka confronted Taikawa and challenged him to a match on 1st June.

Survival Tobita got his revenge on Dr. Kiriko in a Medical Human Dog Food Death Match, which I think was just a fancy name for a regular old death match involving medical items. The match was officiated by a special doctor known as Dr. Lin. Kiriko did some nefarious stuff to try and beat Tobita, even giving him an examination during the match. This backfired when he struck Tobita’s knee with a hammer and unintentionally got a Low Blow in return. Kiriko turned the tables and intended to kill Tobita with an injection but Dr. Lin came to the rescue and gave Kiriko the Rainmaker. Tobita followed up with a Piledriver to get the three count. As punishment for losing, Kiriko was unmasked to reveal he was Atsushi Maruyama, the former Tigers Mask from Osaka Pro! Maruyama then acted like he was saved from darkness saying that the school route he used to be scared of is now gone, the rain has stopped and the sun is starting to rise again. He also said he will not return to Ganpuro because of his actions.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN AOMORI ~DRAMATIC DREAM TSUGARU SHAMISEN~”, 05/05/2014

With HARASHIMA claiming a Right To Challenge Contract and declaring he will cash it in against KUDO on 25th May, the two get to face against each other beforehand in a 6-Man Tag. I wonder what state of mind Yasu Urano will be in since he just cashed in his contract and lost to KUDO.

Shinichiro Tominaga now gets a role in the UnionGanpuro war facing against Union’s current micro indie dynamo Mitomu Masayuki. Tominaga originally came to Union on a similar path but injuries brought an end to his time with the company and he never fulfilled his potential. Masayuki is now in his spot which could make the match personal.

DDT “ANTONIO HONDA BOX OFFICE ~DEKI-GOKORO~”, 01/06/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Bra And Submission Match: Antonio Honda Vs Norikazu Fujioka

Antonio Honda books his first match for his self-produced event and it is against DDT’s scrawny member of the production staff Norikazu Fujioka. They face off in a Bra And Submission Match where the aim is to either strip the opponent of their bra or make them submit.
