DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA 2015 ~AUTUMN~”, 03/11/2015
Aichi Nagoya International Conference Hall
736 Fans – No Vacancy

0. King Of Dark Title: Sanshiro Takagi (c) defeated KENSO with the Elixir Of Egypt (6:38).
*Sanshiro Takagi passes D4. KENSO becomes the 5th King Of Dark Champion.
1. Kengo Takai, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Gota Ihashi defeated Suguru Miyatake, Kota Umeda & Kouki Iwasaki when Takai pinned Iwasaki with the Dera HOF Bomb (7:58).
2. 3 Way Match: Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata and Hiroshi Fukuda & Saki Akai when Hirata pinned Fukuda with the One Shot Miracle Cradle (7:04).
3. Yasu Urano defeated Soma Takao with a Cradle (7:33).
4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Ken Ohka, Danshoku Dino & Super Sasadango Machine (c) defeated Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo when Ohka pinned Honda with the Spear Of Flame (13:47).
*V1 for #OhkaEmpire.
5. Keisuke Ishii defeated Akito with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (12:26).
6. Road To OSAKA ~ Special Tag Match: Isami Kodaka & Ryota Nakatsu defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi when Kodaka pinned Sakaguchi with the Isamuashi Zan (14:45).
7. Owari Nagoya Specialty Special 4 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki defeated HARASHIMA, Shigehiro Irie and Kazusada Higuchi when Sasaki submitted Higuchi with La Mistica Cross Face Lock (17:11).

A 4 Way main event saw Daisuke Sasaki come out as the victor. After a week of bad news that saw Sasaki stripped of the KO-D Tag Team Title because of Kota Ibushi’s injury, the time is now for Sasaki to make his own opportunities. He did so by submitting Kazusada Higuchi for the first time in the DNA wrestler’s career. Sasaki said after the match that DDT feels a little lonely now with Ibushi and KUDO both going through a slow recovery process. But he (and Suguru Miyatake) can persevere without them.

Yukio Sakaguchi is growing frustrated over losing to Isami Kodaka in the build up to their title match. Kodaka has been intentionaly doing the Diving Double Knee Drop in their matches to remind Sakaguchi of KUDO. Meanwhile Ryota Nakatsu is very happy with being on Kodaka’s team and hopes they continue wrestling together.

Over the last few days Keisuke Ishii has taken some time to reflect about the generation of DDT wrestlers he is apart of. He lost to Daisuke Sasaki on Monday but scored a win over Akito on this show. Ishii’s goal now is to be the best wrestler of this generation and he cherishes facing the competition ahead of him.

T2Hide challenged #OhkaEmpire to a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title match after the champions defeated Happy Motels. Sanshiro Takagi said T2Hide’s track record is proof that they deserve the shot. That track record is Takagi getting rid of the King Of Dark Title and Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata winning the 3 Way Tag Match earlier in the show. Ken Ohka accepted the challenge and it will be held at the 22nd November Hiroshima show.

A power failure interrupted the King Of Dark Title match. When the lights came back on Ultraman Robin was suddenly standing in front of KENSO. Robin charged up, pointed at KENSO and yelled “Destiny!” Sanshiro Takagi then threw a powdery substance known as the Elixir Of Egypt at KENSO, blinding him. Takagi rolled over KENSO for the three count, meaning KENSO is now the King Of Dark Champion! After the match KENSO said he was in a unit called the Dark Kingdom but now he really is in the Dark Kingdom. KENSO challenged Takagi to a rematch but was shot down and slapped across the face. He was told to go to Kasukabe on 8th November for his first title defence. KENSO swore backstage that he will get his rematch with Takagi and force the belt back to him.

Ibushi’s Health Problems Revealed

November 2, 2015

sugabayashi-takagi

After a week long absence from the ring attributed to illness, a press conference was held to discuss the current and future status of Kota Ibushi. Both Sanshiro Takagi and Naoki Sugabayashi were in attendance since the news effected both DDT and New Japan. It was explained that at midnight on 24th October Ibushi picked up a high fever that forced him to be taken off of DDT’s Korakuen Hall show the next day. The illness also cancelled an autograph signing for his new book. During the summer Ibushi had been feeling numbness in the left side of his body. He was sent to a doctor for a check-up and diagnosed with a herniated cervical disc. The decision was made that Ibushi will not be wrestling for either company until he has healed from his injury. According to Takagi, Ibushi has decided not to go under surgery as part of his treatment. There is no time given for how long his recovery will take but Takagi reckons he will be gone until the start of 2016 at the earliest.

In DDT, Ibushi is one half of the KO-D Tag Team Champions with Daisuke Sasaki. Takagi announced that the titles will be vacated and he does not want to interfere with Ibushi’s daily life while he recovers. He wants Ibushi to completely recover and will wait for his return if he has to. Takagi also apologised to Ibushi’s fans for the inconvenience. Sugabayashi said Ibushi’s contract with New Japan which is about to run out will be renewed and he will wait for his return to the company.

On the DDT side of things this injury comes at a bad time. With Ibushi and KUDO both out of action for the time being that is two big absences in the main event scene. HARASHIMA is still there to carry the load as he always does, it’s too early to tell if Yukio Sakaguchi is a draw as the KO-D Openweight Champion, I have no idea how much mileage is in another Danshoku Dino push and Isami Kodaka will be busy with BASARA and his outside bookings. While DDT has done a great job in the last 12 months introducing and debuting new wrestlers, the younger generation hasn’t been fully embraced by the fans judging by the Dramatic General Election results. With a big Sumo Hall show booked for March next year they need something big and if Ibushi hasn’t recovered by then it will put a big dent in that plan. They better pray to whatever deity that can protect HARASHIMA from getting injured.

At the end of the show Dai Suzuki gave a speech thanking Gurukun Mask and Ryukyu Dragon Pro Wrestling for their cooperation throughout the weekend.

Sanshiro Takagi hatched a plan with Kazuki Hirata to beat Tomomitsu Matsunaga and get rid of the King Of Dark Title. They brought out large inflatable ZIMA and Corona bottles. Matsunaga got his hands on the Corona bottle and defeated Takagi in a duel. Another backfired attempt at interference cost Takagi the match. His match with KENSO on the 3/11 Nagoya show now has to be a King Of Dark Title match on the pre-show.
