*V6 for the Golden Lovers.

With Sumo Hall out of the way and Super Saitama Arena far off in the horizon it is back to business as usual for DDT. Fresh off of winning the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles, today Team Dream Futures went after the KO-D Tag Team Titles. But the Golden Lovers were not going to let go of their belts so easily. Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega secured another successful defence of the title when they pinned Soma Takao with the PK Mind. They now want to have their next defence at Korakuen Hall. In a backstage interview Kenny said the Golden Lovers are an S-Rank tag team. He his happy to be with Ibushi not just for the fans but for their friendship too. He even said if he was gay he would want to marry Ibushi. He asked Kota if he felt the same and Kota answered “Of course!”

The other highlights of the day centred around the KO-D Openweight Title No. 1 Contender tournament. Keisuke Ishii defeated Akito and Tetsuya Endo defeated Konosuke Takeshita to advance to the finals. The latter result is a surprise and shows that Endo is not to be overlooked when it comes to discussing about DDT’s future prospects. Ishii bragged about the statistics being in his favour for the final since nobody in this tournament has ever beaten him in a singles match. Endo told him he has the momentum and he will become KO-D Champion.

Retired All Japan whipping boy Nobutaka Araya was in attendance and even got involved in the Smile Squash Vs Toru Owashi & DJ Nira match. Nira gave him the Rocket Punch and HARASHIMA capitalised on the distraction to roll up Nira for the win. I’m not sure if they played Araya’s sad song for him after the match.

Up Up Girls singer Ito Maki wrestled in the Infomercial Match. Makoto Oishi was happy to team with her but their opponent Sanshiro Takagi claimed Saki Akai is the cuter idol. Maki had the last laugh when she spat Poison Mist into Kazuki Hirata’s face and, after Oishi’s Miracle Ecstasy, pinned him with the Idol Clutch.

Antonio Honda and Daisuke Sasaki both wrestled in bras during their 3-Way match with MIKAMI.

Zeus will come in to challenge Danshoku Dino for the DDT Extreme Title in Osaka on 13th September.

UNION “SEA WRESTLING”, 23/08/2014
Kanagawa Ohama Beach Keio Camp Store
150 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Kaori Yoneyama & Daichi Kazato defeated Cherry & Tomoya Kawamura when Kazato pinned Kawamura with a Sliding Seaweed Lariat (10:32).
2. 3 Way Falls Count Anywhere Match: Isami Kodaka & Mitomi Masayuki defeated Hiroshi FUKUDA & SAGAT and Shuji Ishikawa & Jinbeizameeen when Kodaka pinned SAGAT with the Diving Double Knee Drop into the sea (20:21).

Union’s trip to the beach was almost ruined thanks to rainy weather. The rain began as the wrestlers were placing down mats to wrestle on. In the first match Cherry and Kaori Yoneyama were fighting over the right to be crowned as the Union Mermaid. Daichi Kazato and Tomoya Kawamura were also involved to make it a tag team match. Beach balls and rubber rings were used as weapons and the match finished when Kazato wrapped his arm in seaweed and hit Kawamura with the Sliding Lariat. Kazato and Yoneyama dove into the water to celebrate.

The main event was a 3 Way Falls Count Anywhere Tag Team match. The teams were Hiroshi Fukuda & SAGAT, Shuji Ishikawa & former Okinawa Pro wrestler Jinbeizameeen (FUMA) and Isami Kodaka & Mitomi Masayuki. The rain was even worse for this match as everyone brawled in the water. Kodaka tried not to fight in the water because he had some fresh death match cuts on his body and he didn’t want them to be touched by sea water. SAGAT wound up being buried in the sand. A watermelon was brought into the match and Jinbeizameeen smashed it with a Diving Headbutt. Ishikawa put Masayuki through a plastic table with the Splash Mountain. The brawl found its way over to some rocks by the sea and several of the wrestlers were knocked off the rocks and into the water. Kodaka jumped off the rocks and landed a Diving Double Knee Drop onto both Fukuda and SAGAT in the water to win the match for his team. A barbecue was held by the wrestlers for the crowd after the show.
