The first round of this year’s King Of DDT threw up some interesting results and match-ups. Antonio Honda submitted Yasu Urano and will face Shigehiro Irie in Round 2. Irie is focused on winning the tournament so he will get a Sumo Hall rematch with HARASHIMA one year after HARASHIMA won the KO-D Title from him. Tomomitsu Matsunaga earned a major upset victory over Kenny Omega. Despite gaining a lot of confidence from the win, Matsunaga’s next opponent will have the advantage. KUDO wasted no time in beating MIKAMI and will be fresh as a daisy tomorrow. Kota Ibushi and Masa Takanashi both won their matches and now their paths will meet. Ibushi doesn’t know what tactics Takanashi will have up his sleeve for their match. Isami Kodaka beat Yukio Sakaguchi and stayed at ringside to watch the main event where the winner would be his next opponent. That man turned out to be Konosuke Takeshita. The young phenom defeated Daisuke Sasaki in the longest match of the night. Afterwards Takeshita said he thinks he proved he can win the tournament.

*V1 for Shuten-dōji.

KUDO was able to prevent losing another championship to Smile Squash in the main event of today’s show. Shuten-dōji successfully defended the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles but were told not to have their celebratory drinks because of an alcohol ban in the building. All three members of Shuten-dōji ignored the ban and drank their cans.

The Champion Carnival 2014 winner Takao Omori teamed with Antonio Honda on today’s show. The pre-match video had Honda ask how could he live and spend every day in despair? What could he do? Omori came in and said they will go on the ultimate journey to be wild! After the match, Konosuke Takeshita challenged Omori to a singles bout. Omori offered a handshake but Takeshita rejected it.

Today’s Infomercial Match was sponsored by the Research Institute. The director of the Institute appeared dressed as Akihiro Miwa and announced the wrestlers competing in the mini Royal Rumble had to be dressed like him. Everyone entered the ring to the song “Hymn Of Love” and Kazuki Hirata appeared at the end of the match to dance to the song.

There are some concerns in DDT over the recent changes happening to All Japan. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie are the current All Asia Tag Team Champions but the status of those titles are currently unknown. Ishii wants the belts to be defended in DDT and thinks they should still be active. His reasoning is the championship is not created by All Japan so it shouldn’t be effected by the company’s problems. He and Irie decided they will defend the belts on 22nd June even though they do not yet have permission to do so.

DDT “DDT X BIS LIVE STREET WRESTLING”, 05/06/2014
Tokyo Asakusa Flower Mansion
370 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

Falls Count Anywhere Captain’s Punishment Death Match: Jun Kasai (C), Hiroshi Fukuda, Emi Sakura & DJ Nira defeated Sanshiro Takagi (C), Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Michael Nakazawa (26:40).
a. Sanshiro Takagi (C) pinned Hiroshi Fukuda with a Stunner (0:12).

c. Makoto Oishi pinned Hiroshi Fukuda with a School Boy (8:44)

e. Michael Nakazawa pinned Hiroshi Fukuda with the Ultimate Venom Arm (12:24)
f. Hiroshi Fukuda pinned Sanshiro Takagi (C) with the Perfect Plex (26:40).

DDT teamed up with girl group BiS for a combined concert and Anywhere Pro Wrestling match. The rainy weather in the theme park set the scene for the show’s storyline. After BiS advertised their final concert to be held in July, Sanshiro Takagi and his team approached the stage and interrupted the performance. Takagi wanted to put a stop to the concert. Hiroshi Fukuda came to the rescue and was joined by Emi Sakura and DJ Nira, who both had tickets for the show. Jun Kasai also showed up because he has history with BiS. He was the cornerman for BiS member Pour Lui when she wrestled at Sumo Hall for DDT last year. Takagi called in back up and out came Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi and Michael Nakazawa. An 8-Man Tag match was decided there and then but with a stipulation attached. Kasai and Takagi became the captains of their team and the match would only end when one captain pinned the other. For every other result, BiS would get to perform a song whenever Kasai’s team won a fall and a BiS member would be punished whenever Takagi’s team won a fall.

The match began on the stage and Takagi immediately pinned Fukuda with a Stunner. He decided to punish one of the BiS girls by writing on her face with a marker. The match restarted near a rollercoaster where Sakura embarrassed Nakazawa into submission by pulling down his shorts and tying him into a ball with them. BiS performed the song “Mylxxx”. The match then went over to the Space Shot ride where Fukuda was pinned again. A BiS member was forced to take a ride in the Space Shot where she was launched 60m into the air. Kasai won the next fall by putting Nakazawa through a table with the Pearl Harbour Splash. As a result BiS got to perform “Spell Of The Sun” while riding on a merry go round. Fukuda once again lost a fall after Nakazawa took him down with the Ultimate Venom Arm. Nakazawa then decided Pour Lui should be given the Ultimate Venom Arm too! Lui got her revenge when Kasai gave her a barbed wire baseball bat. She took out her frustrations on Takagi’s team with the bat, even striking Dino in the rear end with it. Kasai hit Takagi with the bat and Fukuda finally got his moment when he pinned Takagi with the Perfect Plex, winning the match for his team! Takagi admitted defeat and BiS performed one more song to end the show.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “~CHAPTER 2 2ND SEASON~ VOL. 4”, 03/07/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Osamu Namiguchi & Shota Vs Tatsuhito Takaiwa & Black Tiger V
2. Ken Ohka Vs GENTARO

A month after his return to pro wrestling, GENTARO made a surprise visit to Ganbare☆Wrestling to pay Ken Ohka a visit. At the time Ohka was down in the dumps after suffering another defeat. He was so depressed he even considered closing down Ganpuro. GENTARO, a man who spent the last year recovering and rehabilitating his body, slapped some sense into Ohka and then challenged him to a match. Will Ohka get his fighting spirit back?

Tatsuhito Takaiwa brought a Black Tiger with him at the last show to watch his back. He has been identified as Black Tiger V, which is odd because Takaiwa was originally Black Tiger V. Despite being told to stay out of the match, Black Tiger V still got involved and helped Takaiwa win. Shota has come to the defence of his home promotion and is surprisingly joined by former enemy Osamu Namiguchi. This all leads to a tag team match between the four next month.

Yumehito Imanari and Chikara will be teaming together on the show. They are now going by the team name Power Of Dreams.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “~CHAPTER 2 2ND SEASON~ VOL. 3”, 01/06/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
211 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Royal Road Vs Amateur Wrestling: Fumihito Kihara defeated Tomohiro Otani with the Osui Suplex (7:17).
2. No Offline Broadcast Special Streaming Double Hell Match: Shibata defeated Tanomusaku Toba with a Cross Arm Stretch.
3. Special Single Match: Shota defeated Tiger Bed Scene with a Frog Splash (12:36).
4. Love Hotel Acceptance II Vs Rikidozan III Again!!: Osamu Namiguchi & Chikara defeated Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga when Namiguchi pinned Imanari with the Lana Killer-X (12:16).
5. MEGANE Is Back!!: Megane defeated The Shooter with a Drop Heel Kick (8:23).
6. Special Match: Tatsuhito Takaiwa defeated Ken Ohka with the Death Valley Bomb (11:44).

Ken Ohka had an uphill battle to fight in the main event against the veteran Tatsuhito Takaiwa. Ohka entered the ring carrying a Ganbare☆Wrestling towel covered in his dry blood. It was the towel used to clean his wounds after his death match with Shuji Ishikawa last month. The former Black Tiger Takaiwa was accompanied by another Black Tiger and this one was not afraid to get involved with the match. Takaiwa caught Tiger’s interference and ordered him to stop because he did not need it. Ohka found his second wind and brought the fight to Takaiwa, even hitting the Spear of Fire. But Black Tiger pulled the ref out of the ring as he counted the pin. Takaiwa recovered and hit the Death Valley Bomb to escape with the victory. Takaiwa insulted the “shit organisation” until Shota stepped in to defend his company. He was then surprisingly joined by Osamu Namiguchi and together they challenged Taikawa and Black Tiger to a match on 3rd July.

When that was over Ohka said he was thinking about dissolving Ganpuro. After losing to Taikawa he wasn’t sure if the company should continue. Ohka was then given a surprise visit from GENTARO. Ohka was tackled to the mat and GENTARO yelled at him for considering to give up. He told Ohka that it does not matter if he lost today because he can always win his next match. GENTARO finally got off Ohka and challenged him to a match for the next Ganpuro show on 3rd July. They shook hands only for GENTARO to attack Ohka again until they were pulled apart.

Megane defeated The Shooter and unmasked him to reveal it was Atsushi Maruyama! Maruyama apologised for lying to the fans and promised he would never return to Ganpuro, even though that’s what he said last time. After the show Megane announced he would be travelling home on 3rd July and he thanked Ganpuro for the time spent together. He promised to return some day and will spread the word of Ganpuro until then.

Yumehito Imanari and Chikara bonded over their tag team match. They think they can achieve their dreams together. Ohka supports it because having the grandson of Rikidozan makes Ganpuro look major league.

The No Offline Broadcast Special Streaming Double Hell Match involved Shibata and Tanomusaku Toba having an MMA fight while wearing GoPro cameras on their forehead. Both fighters had their own devices for streaming the fight online. Shibata submitted Toba in the third and final round. Toba congratulated Shibata on Shibata’s stream after the fight.
