6. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Kenny Omega ended in a Double Knockout (19:27).
*V2 for HARASHIMA. Kenny Omega cashed in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

In one month’s time DDT returns to Sumo Hall for its biggest show of the year but after today’s show the main event has been altered. Kenny Omega cashed in his Right To Challenge Contract today and faced HARASHIMA for the KO-D Championship. Sumo Hall main eventer Isami Kodaka was at the timekeeper’s table to see who he will soon fight for the title. Both champion and challenger destroyed each other and at one point HARASHIMA delivered the Reverse Frankensteiner from the apron to the floor! Omega later came close to victory with the Croyt’s Wrath. The two then traded Somatos and Jumping Knee Strikes until they were both knocked out. Yukinori Matsui counted both of them out and ruled the match a draw.

harashima-kenny-ko

The draw officially counts as a successful defence for HARASHIMA and Amon Tsurumi declared the Sumo Hall main event will be HARASHIMA Vs Isama Kodaka for the KO-D Title. However, HARASHIMA wasn’t satisfied with the result and wanted another match with Kenny. Kodaka stepped in and said he wanted to face both HARASHIMA and Omega. Everybody came to the conclusion that the Sumo Hall main event will now be a 3 Way match for the title. HARASHIMA Vs Isami Kodaka Vs Kenny Omega!

ddt-roadtoryogoku

At the end of the show Sanshiro Takagi invited the entire roster into the ring and announced tickets for Sumo Hall were selling out. Takagi got everybody in the ring to chant “Sell! Sell! Sell!” The fans joined in but Takagi interrupted them and said they should be chanting “Buy! Buy! Buy!”

trios3way

Happy Motel’s reign as KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions was short lived, which is a running theme for this title’s entire existence. The belts were on the line in a 3 Way Trios match with no tag rules in effect. Happy Motel, Team Dream Futures and Shuten-dōji went at it until Masa Takanashi countered Tetsuya Endo’s Torture Bomb into the Takatonic for the three count. Since Drift were not involved with the result, Tsurumi decided that they will get the next title shot at Sumo Hall.

sakai-dino

Before Match #4 began, Danshoku Dino asked if he was going to defend the DDT Extreme Title at Sumo Hall. He got no answer and treated today’s 8-Man Tag bout as a throwaway match. Super Sasadango Machine got the pin and was happy to challenge Dino to a title match. He set up a powerpoint presentation to explain his challenge but Dino interrupted and said he will not fight him. Instead he wants to fight Muscle Sakai! Amon Tsurumi told Dino that Sakai is retired and currently working at his family’s business in Niigata. Machine left the ring and Sakai’s music suddenly played over the speakers. Suddenly Sakai appeared! He was crying with joy and said that even though he retired, he secretly visited Korakuen Hall in disguise every month to watch DDT. He accepted Dino’s challenge and it was made official by Tsurumi.

ddt-amigos

Since Kota Ibushi’s 10th Anniversary Match no longer involved Kota Ibushi, the 6-Man Tag Team bout was changed into a Lucha Libre Rules match. Taiji Ishimori got into the spirit of things with Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi. Ishimori afterwards said he enjoyed wrestling with them.

mikami-gentaro

GENTARO was very disappointed by MIKAMI for tapping out to a Headlock in their tag team match. He questioned if MIKAMI was not motivated anymore and was insulted because he himself went through a lot in order to wrestle again. Even if GENTARO is not the wrestler he used to be he still wrestles because it makes him happy. Yasu Urano told GENTARO to ignore MIKAMI. He said they won the match and shouldn’t have to worry about MIKAMI’s decline. GENTARO slapped Urano and said he isn’t like MIKAMI. “MIKAMI is a guy, dude!” As a result of this, GENTARO & MIKAMI will face Yasu Urano & Akito at Sumo Hall.

There were some announcements regarding DDT’s plans for the near future. The big one of course was their goal of going to the Saitama Super Arena next year. Sanshiro Takagi announced that DDT will be in the Saitama Super Arena Community Arena on 15th February, 2015. The Community Arena is a smaller section within the Super Arena territory but Takagi believes it is big enough to draw 5,000 fans. He also wants DDT to hold two major shows every year. The plan is for February and August to be when the major shows will take place.

The annual DDT48 General Election will now be replaced with a new election based on the different stables in DDT. For now it is called the DDT Dramatic General Election. It will take place from 31st August to 28th September.

Kota Ibushi apologised for being unable to compete on the show. He promised to be crazier than ever when he returns to “perfect condition”. He will have a singles match at Sumo Hall but his opponent is currently to be decided.

KUDO, Danshoku Dino and DJ Nira are the latest DDT wrestlers to get gender swapped characters for the Ring☆Dream online card game. DDT will also be collaborating with the Powerpuff Girls TV show for a t-shirt that will be available at Sumo Hall.

UNION “SEE YOU AT KITASENJU” Results

July 19, 2014

sato-kazato

UNION “SEE YOU AT KITASENJU”, 19/07/2014
Kitasenju Theatre 1010
123 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. SAGAT, Menso~re Oyaji & Goro Jr. defeated Seiya Morohashi, Tomoya Kawamura & Ryu Gouma when SAGAT pinned Kawamura with the Gore Grind (10:17).
2. Ladybeard & Kaori Yoneyama defeated Cherry & Mio Shirai when Ladybeard pinned Shirai with the Nut Cracker (7:08).
3. MEN’S Teioh defeated Mitomi Masayuki with the Spinning Toe Hold (10:49).
4. World Men’s Club Cup – FIFA Rules: Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Choun-Shiryu with a Gedo Clutch (7:17).
5. Shuji Ishikawa defeated Shibata with the Running Kneelift (7:07).
6. Hikaru Sato defeated Daichi Kazato by Referee Stoppage after Kazato suffered a foot injury (6:36).
7. Isami Kodaka defeated FUMA with the Zan Isamu Leg (17:18).

Hikaru Sato sent a message to Shuji Ishikawa by intentionally injuring Daichi Kazato. Sato targeted Kazato’s left knee and had a bitter smile on his face while applying a Necklock. Kazato couldn’t continue and the ref stopped the match. Sato was still smiling as Kazato was helped out of the ring while holding his knee in agony.

Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Choun-Shiryu for the World Men’s Club Cup took place under the same rule set used by FIFA for their World Cup games. Handballs were illegal which meant both Fukuda and Shiryu were forced to wrestle with their hands tied behind their backs. Fukuda was able to pin Shiryu with the Gedo Clutch after some shenanigans involving the referee constantly fainting. After the match Fukuda swapped his baggy pants with Shiryu’s New Beijing T-shirt in accordance with the Fair Play rules but Shiryu kicked him and laid him out with the Gory Special Bomb.

Ladybeard pinned Mio Shirai, giving him momentum for their upcoming Fly To Everywhere Title Match on 31st August. Ladybeard was feeling positive about his performance and hopes he and Mio will both do their best. His way of wrestling is strong and he does not have the weaknesses Cherry has.

FUMA, Daichi Kazato, SAGAT, Mitomi Masayuki and Tomoya Kawamura will all compete at the DDT “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2014” show on 17th August.

??? Fans

4 Way Falls Count Anywhere Tag Team Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Jun Kasai defeated HARASHIMA & Akito, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi and Daisuke Sasaki & Gota Ihashi when Kasai pinned Ihashi with the Pearl Harbour Splash from a ladder through a table (28:35)

For the second year in a row DDT held a Falls Count Anywhere match at the HandMade In Japan Festival in Tokyo. Sanshiro Takagi brought along Jun Kasai to prepare for their big tag team match at “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2014”. Today they went against three other teams in a big free for all that took place during the convention. Takagi & Kasai were able to win thanks to a custom bicycle they found that was made to look like a Sentai Bike. After the match Takagi said that the bicycle may be the weapon they need to beat Minoru Suzuki & Michael Nakazawa at Sumo Hall.

Unfortunately Kota Ibushi has not recovered from his concussion and has to pull out of more shows. Even worse, Ibushi will no longer be competing in this year’s G1 Climax. The planned 10th Anniversary Match for Sunday has been postponed and several matches on the card have been changed.

GENTARO is a last minute addition to the card, returning to DDT for the first time since August 2012.

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Danshoku Dino Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. 3 Way Match: HARASHIMA Vs Yasu Urano Vs Akito

My favourite time of the year on the DDT calender is Beer Garden week. This is where DDT’s roster are at their most creative because they get to make the matches. So far we have ghost stories, a 5 Way Ladder match, some boxing, the return of Ultimate Superstars Action and a Smile Squash Triple Threat to look forward to. Unfortunately there is no more Lariat Pro Wrestling but in it’s place we get Knee Pro Wrestling. So expect the Boma Ye and Busaiku Knee Kick to be used a lot. There are two shows that have yet to have any matches booked for it. They are the first and final days of the series.

6. Hikaru Sato Vs Daichi Kazato

Shibata has called himself the John Cena of Pancrase. I honestly don’t know how to react to that.

Inspired by his nation’s performance in this years World Cup, real American Hiroshi Fukuda has created the World Men’s Club Cup so he can lift the spirits of his fellow Americans and win what their team could not. Fukuda wants to take on the world and his challenge was quickly accepted by China’s Choun-Shiryu.

The journey to Hikaru Sato Vs Shuji Ishikawa is going to be long but there will be plenty of interactions between the two along the way. The two were on opposite sides of a tag team main event at today’s Union show. Sato was joined by Shibata, a Pancrase fighter who has been featured a lot in Ganbare☆Wrestling recently. Shibata wrestled the match while having a GoPro camera strapped to his chest. While Ishikawa did what he could he wound up on the losing team when his partner Daichi Kazato tapped out to Sato’s Ankle Hold.

Hiroshi Fukuda said it was the pinnacle of honour for him to be in Heijitsu Mask’s retirement match. The retirement ceremony revealed that Heijitsu Mask was born on Sunday 7th July, 1903. At the age of 15 he had his debut match in Kathmandu, Nepal and was undefeated for 401 matches.

After winning a match as a team, Mio Shirai challenged Ladybeard to a Fly To Everywhere Title match for 31st August. Ladybeard said he does not have the face of a girl but he is the strongest women’s wrestler in Japan. Mio said she will make Ladybeard’s fans cry.

Ryu Gouma had to pull out of the show. He was replaced by El Hijo del Goro.

July 13, 2014

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN OSAKA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TSUTENKAKU~”, 13/07/2014
Osaka Higashinari Kumin Hall

*Shuten-dōji failed in V2. Happy Motel become the 11th KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!

Happy Motel are the new KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions! The trio’s good fortunes since their formation continued when they defeated Shuten-dōji to win the belts. With this being his first championship in his career, Tetsuya Endo said he lost his championship virginity. No. 1 Contenders Team Dream Futures were at ringside to watch the title match but Antonio Honda had a different idea for his team’s first title defence. Happy Motel will face both Shuten-dōji and Drift in a 3 Way match for the title at Korakuen Hall on 20th July.

Isami Kodaka took Kota Ibushi’s place in the semi-main event, teaming with MIKAMI to face HARASHIMA & Akito. HARASHIMA pinned MIKAMI with the Somato but was reminded by Kodaka that in order to face him at Sumo Hall he has to beat Kenny Omega at Korakuen first. Kodaka also said he is confident HARASHIMA and Omega will have a great match together.

The despicable DJ Nira attacked Makoto Oishi with a pencil after the opening match, prompting Danshoku Dino to come to his friend’s rescue. Nira challenged Dino to a No DQ, No Pinfall, No Give Up, No Countout match that could only end when a wrestler was thrown over the top rope and out of the ring. The match took place later in the show and lasted over an hour. Dino and Nira brawled away from ringside with an injured Oishi chasing after them. Rather than wait for them to return, DDT decided to carry on with the show. Dino & Nira would reappear inbetween the remaining matches only to fight their way out of the arena again. Finally when the main event was done they fought back into the ring and Dino eventually threw Nira over the top rope to the floor for the victory.

Kota Ibushi was able to contribute to the show by being the special referee for a kickboxing match between Gota Ihashi and Michael Nakazawa. The match was part of Ibushi’s 10th Anniversary celebration and Ibushi revealed it was originally supposed to be Nakazawa Vs Yoshihiko. Nakazawa protested the match because he has no kickboxing experience and he had no shin guards either. Ibushi made some questionable calls over knockdowns and also allowing the two to fight outside the ring. Ihashi even put Nakazawa in a Boston Crab and Ibushi just asked if Nakazawa wanted to give up. Nakazawa had enough and in the fourth round removed his tights and gave Ibushi the Ultimate Venom Arm. While Nakazawa prepared to do the same to Ihashi, Ibushi recovered and put on a boxing glove. He swung at Nakazawa but Nakazawa ducked making Ihashi take the blow instead. Ibushi tried a High Kick but the same thing happened and Ihashi was down for the count. Ibushi then knocked out Nakazawa with a Sole Butt, counted both Nakazawa and Ihashi out and declared himself the winner. After the match Ibushi said he will try and return to action at Korakuen Hall and promises to survive the G1 Climax.

DDT “ROAD TO SAITAMA SUPER ARENA 5” Results

July 12, 2014

idol-lumberjacks

DDT “ROAD TO SAITAMA SUPER ARENA 5”, 12/07/2014
Saitama Espoir Isanuma
271 Fans – Super No Vacancy

2. Saki Akai defeated DJ Nira with a Modified Camel Clutch (5:33).
3. Antonio Honda & Konosuke Takeshita defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Gota Ihashi when Honda pinned Ihashi with the Diving Fist Drop (13:08).
4. DDT Extreme Title – Idol Lumberjack Match: Danshoku Dino (w/ Yoshiko) defeated Makoto Oishi (c) (w/ Sizukaze & Kizuna) with the Danshoku Driver (9:08).
*Makoto Oishi fails in V1. Danshoku Dino becomes the 29th DDT Extreme Champion!
5. KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when KUDP pinned Matsunaga with the Diving Double Knee Drop (12:21).
6. Infomercial Match – Best Stretch Edition: Super Sasadango Machine & Tetsuya Endo defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Kazuki Hirata & when Machine pinned Hirata with the Vertical Drop Lehman Shock (10:31)
7. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito when Soma pinned Akito with the Gin And Tonic (15:06).

The Idol Lumberjack Deathmatch was the most notable event on today’s show. Makoto Oishi put his DDT Extreme Title on the line and had the idol group Sizukaze & Kizuna by his side. Danshoku Dino countered by bringing in Stardom wrestler Yoshiko to be his lumberjack. While Oishi’s idols attacked Dino with plastic hammers whenever he was knocked out of the ring, Yoshiko got more involved by dropping Sentons onto Oishi whenever he was laid out on the floor. Both Yoshiko and the idols also attacked the wrestlers inside the ring when the referee was wiped out by Dino’s Lip Lock. After the ref recovered Oishi took control until Yoshiko knocked him off the top turnbuckle with a thrown chair. Oishi grabbed the mic and yelled at Yoshiko for being an ugly female wrestler. The girls from Sizukaze & Kizuna got mad at Oishi for his behaviour and turned on him. All of the lumberjacks beat up Oishi and pretty much handed Dino the win, making him a 7 time DDT Extreme Champion. After the match Oishi begged Yoshiko and the idols for forgiveness. They did and everybody then danced.

Team Dream Futures will be keeping a close eye on tomorrow’s KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title match. Soma Takao noted that DDT now has many different units on their roster but Drift is the team that wants the 6-Man Title the most.

The Infomercial Match promoted DDT’s Best Stretch parlour and started off as Sanshiro Takagi & Super Sasadango Machine Vs Kazuki Hirata & Tetsuya Endo. The match consisted of everyone giving each other stretching exercises instead of wrestling moves and at some point changed into Takagi & Hirata Vs Machine & Endo. Machine pinned Hirata with the Lehman Shock and afterwards credited the stretching exercises for improving his finishing move by 35%.

Shun Miyatake (Trainee) appeared at the beginning of the show to give an update of his status since it has been a while since he had a match. Miyatake said he broke his leg six months ago and last month had surgery to remove the plate and bolts from his foot so he needed time off to rest. Amon Tsurumi didn’t believe him. Miyatake then said he was able to train during his absence but wound up injuring his hip from lifting 180kg weights. He also fractured his fourth lumbar vertebrae. Tsurumi had enough of Miytake’s lies and said he will never debut now because his injuries would take hundreds of years to heal! Miyatake said he heals fast and will be back around October or November.
