sakaguchi-vs-sasaki

KUDO was in attendance to watch his Shuten-dōji brother Yukio Sakaguchi defend the KO-D Openweight Title. The champion hugged KUDO before the match started. Meanwhile Daisuke Sasaki was pushed down to the ring on a trolley by his Golden☆Storm Rider team mates. Sasaki only attempted to do the Vietnam Driver II once in the match but Sakaguchi slipped out of the hold and trapped Sasaki in a Sleeper Hold. Sasaki did catch Sakaguchi with a flash Hurricanrana but it wasn’t enough to get the three count. Sasaki aimed big by setting up an Avalanche Pedigree but Sakaguchi stopped him with some Elbow Strikes that left Sasaki hanging upside down from the turnbuckles by his legs. Sakaguchi climbed the turnbuckles and hit KUDO’s Diving Double Knee Drop! Sasaki somehow kicked out but was put into another Sleeper Hold. Sasaki showed some life when he stuck up his middle finger but Sakaguchi put him away with a Knee Strike to the face, a Jumping Knee to the back and finally the Right Knee Of God in the corner. Sakaguchi celebrated his title defence with KUDO and Masa Takanashi in the ring. His next title defence will be on 28th October against the runner up of the DDT Dramatic General Election.

kod6-ohkaempire

It was a long, rocky hill to climb but #OhkaEmpire are the new KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions! They were the underdogs against Team Drift but Ken Ohka was able to lead his team to victory. Danshoku Dino came out with his hair dyed blonde for the occasion. The title change looked like it wouldn’t happen. Although #OhkaEmpire jumped Drift when the bell rang and Super Sasadango Machine tried to hit the Vertical Drop Lehman Shock three times, Drift stood their ground. Shigehiro Irie looked to be too strong for Ohka but Ohka ducked the Beast Bomber and hit the Spear Of Flame for the upset victory. Later on the new champions confronted Happy Motels to congratulate them on becoming the No. 1 Contenders. Ohka said #OhkaEmpire are a major sports group and they will train hard to defend the titles. Antonio Honda interrupted him with a Stunner. Dino ignored what was going on in the ring so he could have his way with Mao Inoue at ringside.

ibushi-miyatake

Kota Ibushi & Suguru Miyatake both entered the ring for their match carrying a drink that was described as Ibushi’s medicine. He consumed it during the match to get an ability boost.

joeyryan-lollipop

Joey Ryan leaves Japan for now undefeated. He made a friend in Hiroshi Fukuda during his stay. Fukuda told Ryan he is going to be lonely without him and he wrote him a love letter that is also a song that is 16 bars long. Ryan told Fukuda he is his best friend in Japan and they will team again because he will be back in November. When Ryan comes back he wants to face a variety of different wrestlers but none more so than Danshoku Dino.

momowashi-hirata

Toru Owashi did not want any nonsense from Kazuki Hirata today. No goofy glasses, no entrance robe or anything of that sort. Hirata had to go get other gear. Later on Owashi’s own wrestling gear went missing. The only clothing he could find in his locker was a peach costume he used to wrestle in. He had no other choice but to become “Momowashi” once more. It turned out Hirata stole Owashi’s gear and he wore it for the match! At one point Hirata put Owashi in a Stretch Plum just for the sake of making the pun. They later danced to “Tokyo GO!” until Owashi pinned Hirata with a School Boy out of nowhere. Owashi asked afterwards why Hirata stole his gear. Hirata said he found out this month is Owashi’s 15th anniversary in pro wrestling and his 10th anniversary in DDT. Owashi must have forgotten about it. To celebrate Hirata decided to wear Owashi’s gear so he could be more like him. Hirata said Owashi’s bullying has been painful but he still wants them to work hard together going into Owashi’s 11th year in DDT. He gave Owashi his peach helmet back, put on his Hirata GO! glasses and they danced.

ihashi-takagi-dark

Gota Ihashi is free from dark match purgatory once more! Thanks to some help from his Pigging 2015 team mates, Ihashi was able to beat Sanshiro Takagi in the dark match, making Takagi the new King Of Dark Champion! Ihashi threw the belt at Takagi and was so happy that he added himself to the opening match. He then invited Saki Akai to participate in the match to even out the numbers. Akai did not want to take part until Matsunaga revealed that he has her toothbrush. He placed it in Ihashi’s mouth and Akai stormed the ring to kick Ihashi in the face. She went for a Diving Cross Body but Matsunaga dodged and she landed on Makoto Oishi instead. Shunma Katsumata was blinded by blue mist and Ihashi pinned him with a Moonsault to give him a rare two match winning streak. He celebrated by filling his mouth with toothpaste and brushing his teeth with Akai’s toothbrush. He said he was satisfied by the strawberry taste.

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki

Daisuke Sasaki has been honing his new Vietnam Driver II finisher all month long. The move has pinned Yukio Sakaguchi, earning Sasaki the KO-D Openweight Title match. However since then Sakaguchi has been figuring out how to counter it and he was able to pin Sasaki at a later show. Sasaki claims this is all part of his plan to win the title.

Things are looking up for #OhkaEmpire as they prepare to fight Team Drift one more time. Danshoku Dino has gotten the better of Keisuke Ishii in their recent matches together and Super Sasadango Machine re-established how powerful the Lehman Shock is. However Ken Ohka sticks out as the weak link of the team.

Joey Ryan has won all of his matches so far with the Sweet Tooth Music, a Super Kick to an opponent while they have a lollipop stuck in their mouth.

She appeared in the ring in her normal wrestling gear but was announced as “Height and weight absolutely unknown, Gorilla!” When she won the match Ohka approached her and thanked her. Kyoko explained who she was but Ohka misunderstood and thought she said her full name was Gorilla Kimura. Kimura slapped him and left the ring.

There was mixed fortunes for the two new rookies. Mao Inoue got an upset victory over Shunma Katsumata. Despite being smaller, Katsumata should have had the benefit of experience on his side. Instead Inoue had the Swan Dive X Factor scouted and blocked the move with a Dropkick. He then hit the 450 Splash to end it.

Mizuki Watase on the other hand was taken to school by the visiting Shinjiro Otani. Almost literally in fact. Otani submitted Watase with a Half Crab and told him to look up the move on page 279 in his wrestling textbook.

Another new rookie was introduced on the show. Daiki Shimomura is a high school student who wrestles for the nkw micro indie. His debut is set for 12th October.

syoko-pins-akai

There was a big upset in the main event when Shoko Nakajima pinned Saki Akai. The Tokyo Princess Cup winner is the first person to beat Akai in Tokyo Joshi Pro but it was a difficult task none the less. Akai was in control for most of the match and Nakajima was only able to do her Northern Lights Suplex out of desperation for a two count. Victory came for Nakajima when she countered a Lariat into a Cradle. Saki Akai was so shocked by losing that she fainted. Her Biishiki-gun servants were also left speechless by the result. Nakajima meanwhile was filled with emotion over the victory. She told her story of moving to Tokyo when she was 19 years old. She wanted to become a comedian but her attempts ended in failure and she decided to quit. That was when she discovered wrestling and chose Tokyo Joshi as a place to escape to. Since then she’s been having fun everyday and learned to never give up no matter what. She thanked the audience for their support. It was their cheers that kept her together when things looked bleak. She said maybe she is still weak on her own but with Tokyo Joshi they can both grow bigger and bigger together.

erin-comeback

Erin was back in action for the first time since June the arm she fractured was targeted in her return match. Yuka Sakazaki also got involved in a lot of shenanigans like blowing a whistle in Akane Miura’s ear to break up a submission hold and having a quiz against Rika Tatsumi to determine who knows Erin best. When the quiz ended Erin put Tatsumi in her new Jiaozi Lock submission while Miura tapped out Sakazaki with the Sickle Lock.

azusa-takigawa

Tokyo Joshi’s newest wrestler is now named Azusa Takigawa. She lost to Miyu Yamashita in her debut match but is eager to continue wrestling while also attempting to be a reporter on television. After the match Takigawa said she wants to show the same vigor and power that she sees whenever she watches pro wrestling.

oppai-squash

Ai Shimizu was able to render Nonoko unconscious with a modified Camel Clutch, grasping her arms around Nonoko’s big chest and squeezing as hard as she could.

hypermisao-newsuit

The opening match was between two women who teamed together in their debut back in February. For the occassion Hyper Misao wrestled in a new superhero costume that she claims can absorb 95% of her opponent’s attacks. She also wrote a letter for MIZUHO to tell her how much she means to her but her attempts to read it made her cry. However, Misao also warned that this was a big match and her new costume is too powerful for a small fish like MIZUHO. The match happened and it turned out the new super suit wasn’t as powerful as Misao thought it was. MIZUHO was able to beat Misao earn her first pro wrestling victory.

tjp-takagi

Sanshiro Takagi appeared at the end of the show to announce that Tokyo Joshi will soon arrive in the “holy land”. The brand will hold its first show in Korakuen Hall on 4th January, 2016! Takagi said Tokyo Joshi was able to fill up Shinjuku FACE twice and he now wants the brand to fill up Korakuen Hall two, three or even four times! He also mentioned the show will take place at noon so it won’t clash with Wrestle Kingdom 10 next door. He hopes instead that fans both local and worldwide attending the Tokyo Dome that day will be even a little bit interested in giving Tokyo Joshi a shot.

7. Danshoku Dino & Super Sasadango Machine defeated HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano when Machine pinned Urano with the Vertical Drop Lehman Shock (14:35).

Danshoku Dino and Super Sasadango Machine were the local heroes on this show. They said they wanted to protect Niigata from the evils of Smile Squash. Sasadango reminded everyone before the bell that his Lehman Shock finisher removes 35% of the victim’s hit points and is guaranteed to win the match if he hits it 3 times. He immediately did the move on Yasu Urano but held back from pinning him. He did it again after Dino pulled him out of the way from Urano’s Diving Body Press. Sasadango hit the move one more time and true to his word it was enough to beat Urano. Sasadango said the he, Dino & Ken Ohka will soon fight a formidable enemy in the form of Team Drift. He promised they will work hard to win and not embarrass themselves.

Kota Ibushi returned to the ring after a few days absence due to being in “poor physical condition”. What that means, DDT isn’t saying. He was able to save Daisuke Sasaki from defeat when he stopped Masa Takanashi’s Takatonic with a Lariat and Dragon Suplex. Sasaki picked up the pieces and pinned Takanashi with the Vietnam Driver II. Sasaki then confronted Yukio Sakaguchi after the match. Sakaguchi lifted his KO-D Openweight Title up in Sasaki’s face. Sasaki gave Sakaguchi a High Kick to the head in response, starting a brawl between the two. They were soon seperated by wrestlers at ringside. Ibushi began worshipping Sasaki in the ring while Sakaguchi was dragged away.

Joey Ryan’s tactic of sticking a lollipop in his opponent’s mouth and then Super Kicking him continues to work for him. He is also bonding with Hiroshi Fukuda over how American they both are.

However, Dino recovered and flash pinned Ishii with La Magistral version of the Gay-do Clutch. Ohka claimed that this victory was enough to prove that #OhkaEmpira deserved their upcoming shot at the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. Amon Tsurumi reluctantly agreed and confirmed that Drift Vs #OhkaEmpire on 27th September will be a title match.

When Yukio Sakaguchi said he was going to put a stop to Daisuke Sasaki’s momentum, he meant it. Sakaguchi blocked the Vietnam Driver II and knocked out Sasaki with a Right High Kick. Suguru Miyatake had to revive Sasaki by squirting water in his face bukake style after the match. Sasaki told Sakaguchi that this was all part of his strategy and he now knows what Sakaguchi can do to him.

Kota Ibushi was again taken off the show due to poor health. Saki Akai was added to the show as part of the card rearrangement. She and Antonio Honda hatched a plan to beat Pigging 2015. When Kouki Iwasaki climbed the top turnbuckle, Honda yelled at him to stop because he has a cat named Dorothy stuck inside his stomach. Tomomitsu Matsunaga didn’t believe him but suddenly there was cries of “Nyan!” heard around ringside. It turned out to be Akai whispering into the microphone. She apologised when she was caught but still the distraction worked long enough for Honda to pin Iwasaki with a roll up.

Joey Ryan had an asthma attack during his match. His opponent Makoto Oishi stole Ryan’s inhaler beforehand and hid it in his tights. Ryan got revenge when he took out a lollipop from his tights and forced it into Oishi’s mouth.
