6. Hakodate Specialty! 1,000,000 Yen Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Tetsuya Endo defeated Shigehiro Irie, Jason Kincaid & Mizuki Watase when Sasaki submitted Watase with the Cross Facelock (14:21).
7. DISASTER BOX Vs ALL OUT!: Konosuke Takeshita, Akito & Shunma Katsumata defeated HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Yuki Ueno when Takeshita pinned Ueno with the Surprise Rose (18:43).
After the main event Konosuke Takeshita talked about today being ALL OUT’s first time in Hakodate. He heard DDT first held a show here 15 years ago. The company was very different back then. Currently ALL OUT have no championships but they want to change that. They also hope to come back to Hakodate every year all as champions.
The remains of RENEGADES teamed together for what might be the final time. They currently aren’t scheduled to team up again. Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase also have a match against each other in a few days time. Irie explained that when he came back to DDT, Watase followed him without ever saying anything. Irie has watched him grow and it is fitting that they will now face each other one on one. He wants Watase to fight him with all of his feelings.
Gorgeous Matsuno wanted to teach those young whippersnappers Mike Bailey & MAO what classic wrestling is like from someone who was a champion 20 years ago. Bailey also got Danshoku Dieno to agree not to grab his crotch during the match. Obviously Dieno went back on that agreement when the match got hot. MAO later popped a balloon in front of Matsuno’s face, dizzying him enough to walk into Dieno’s Hell Gate by accident. MAO then used Dieno as a stepping stone to hit the Hollywood Star Press on Matsuno for the win.
Since the Infomercial Match was sponsored by a local otaku bar, Sanshiro Takagi & Yumehito Imanari wrestled in cosplay outfits. Takagi was a Gundam and Imanari was Jagi from Fist Of The North Star. Antonio Honda stole Takagi’s Gundam helmet to wear. When he did the Diving Fist Drop, Takagi quickly put on Imanari’s Jagi helmet to protect himself. Honda hurt his fist and was rolled up with La Magistral Cradle.

7. Sapporo Specialty! Special 6-Man Tag Match From The North: Danshoku Dieno, Mike Bailey & MAO defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie when Dieno pinned Paulie with the Danshoku Driver (18:06).
The continuing back and forth between Danshoku Dieno and his attempts to overwhelm Daisuke Sasaki with his, erm, Danshoku-ness is now back in Dieno’s favour. This time Dieno knocked out Sasaki with a Tombstone Piledriver before pinning Mad Paulie with the Danshoku Driver. After the match Dieno told the audience he can hear them calling his name. He also said DDT stands for Danshoku Dieno Team. When DDT returns to Hokkaido Dieno will have turned 40% to 70% roster gay and the first victim will be Daisuke Sasaki at Sumo Hall!
Keisuke Ishii and Kouki Iwasaki are working so well together that they now want to be a regular tag team. They can become one because they are now both Ganbare☆Wrestling regulars.
With a singles win today, Kazusada Higuchi is working on keeping his momentum going into Sumo Hall and sustaining it for the rest of the year. Higuchi will be competing in NOAH for their annual Global League tournament in November. Then straight after that he wishes to win the second D-Ou Grand Prix. Winning both will make him climb up to the leading role in DDT.
Yesterday in Nemuro, Super Sasadango Machine kidnapped Samson Miyamoto the master of Andreza Giant Panda. Sasadango assured everyone he was following the rules of the Geneva Convention and Miyamoto was given enough food and water to be kept in a healthy state as Sasadango’s prisoner. Sasadango said that the nearby typhoon cancelled the trains to Sapporo. He also said that Andreza cannot drive a car so there is absolutely no way that Andreza was able to come and rescue Miyamoto today. Booing 2018 misread the situation and thought Miyamoto was joining Sasadango’s team to make it a 3 Vs 2 Handicap Match. They demanded Hisaya Imabayashi to join their team to turn it into a trios match. Imabayashi had to wear Yumehito Imanari’s shorts and an NωA shirt to wrestle in. Both were too short for him. Sasadango then learned he should never to underestimate a vengeful panda. Andreza appeared and crashed the match, swiping aside any wrestler who stepped in his way. A scared Sasadango offered a handshake but Andreza knocked him out with the Lightspeed 3m Headbutt. Imabayashi then jumped on top of Sasadango for the pin. Andreza was reunited with Miyamoto after the match. Miyamoto told Sasadango that this was the power of Andreza and he will do more to him at Sumo Hall! Sasadango is now left alone to come up with a new strategy to beat the panda.
Jason Kincaid got to experience the power of the Hirata GO! glasses. Kincaid, Kazuki Hirata and Nobuhiro Shimatani all wore the glasses and danced in a philosophical way together until Kincaid gave both of them a Double Stunner and then pinned Shimatani with the Philosopher’s Stomp.
DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2018 ~DRAMATIC DREAM TARABAGANI~”, 06/10/2018 Hokkaido Nemuro City Youth Center 516 Fans – Super No Vacancy

6. Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Mad Paulie defeated Danshoku Dieno, Makoto Oishi & Kazusada Higuchi when Takao pinned Oishi with the Gin And Tonic (13:29).
7. UWA Asia Pacific Heavyweight Champion Kouki Iwasaki Local Triumph! Nemuro Specialty Special Tag Match: Kouki Iwasaki & Keisuke Ishii defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata when Iwasaki pinned Katsumata with a Vertical Drop Reverse DDT (19:18).
The hometown hero Kouki Iwasaki was in tears as he addressed the crowd after the main event. He didn’t think so many people would come see him wrestle today. He promised to take the next step in the pro wrestling world. He described today as the best situation possible from the opponents to his choice of tag team partner. Everything was in place for him to work his hardest and do his best. He no longer feels like he is a part of DDT because he will now be wrestling in Ganbare☆Wrestling, NOAH and also Real Japan. He appreciates what DDT has done for him and he hopes to repay them in some way.
Daisuke Sasaki was able to give Danshoku Dieno a Low Blow while Nobuhiro Shimatani distracted the referee. Sasaki said he drowned in the sea of pleasure today. In two weeks at Sumo Hall he will be able to overcome those pleasures.
Gorgeous Matsuno fell on his back wanting to do the Inoki Kicks to Andreza Giant Panda. What he didn’t expect was Andreza to simply step on him for the three count. An immediate rematch was agreed to and Matsuno did a little better. However he was squashed by the Andreza Press to lose again. After the match Super Sasadango Machine entered the ring carrying a rope. Before today he thought Andreza had no weaknesses. But Sasadango discovered one by watching this match. Andreza’s weak spot is his handler Samson Miyamoto! Sasadango tied up Miyamoto with the rope and gave him the Vertical Drop Lehmann Shock. Andreza was lost and couldn’t do anything without Miyamoto instructing him. Sasadango taunted Andreza by telling him to go enjoy his freedom. If the Panda wants to come back to the ring and rescue his master, he should go to the DDT show in Sapporo tomorrow. That’s if Andreza can figure out how to get there.
Now that he’s become a freelancer, Shigehiro Irie is starting to rediscover the joys of DDT again. It helps that he is already seeing Mizuki Watase grow stronger and win more matches.
MAO and Sanshiro Takagi attacked each other on the stage with a volleyball they found lying about. They later threw chairs at each other in the audience.
DDT X NEW NEMURO “MOST NORTHERN POINT OF HOKKAIDO STREET WRESTLING!”, 06/10/2018 Hokkaido Nosappu Aurora Tower Parking Lot 1 Fan
1. DDT X New Nemuro Five Matches Against All Opposition: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Atsushi Osuna, Marcia (w/ Nena-sama), Yujiru Nagata, Colonel Samba and Underwear Takagi (18:40).
1a. Sanshiro Takagi defeated Atsushi Osuna with a Push Down.
1b. Sanshiro Takagi defeated Marcia (w/ Nena-sama) with the Stunner.
1c. Sanshiro Takagi defeated Yujiru Nagata when Nagata stopped moving.
1d. Sanshiro Takagi defeated Colonel Samba when the match was abandoned.
1e. Sanshiro Takagi defeated Underwear Takagi with the Stunner.
DDT was challenged by New Nemuro Pro Wrestling on very short notice. Sanshiro Takagi travelled all the way up to the most northern point of Hokkaido. There at the Aurora Tower parking lot he found a mat laid out and one “fan” standing there ready to see the show. Takagi learned he was going to face five of New Nemuro’s best in a gauntlet match.
First up was Atsushi Osuna. He surprised Takagi with Elbow Strikes. I mean, he really surprised Takagi because he barely felt them. Takagi pushed Osuna to the ground and easily pinned him.
Next up was Marcia with her manager Nene-sama. Takagi was distracted by Marcia’s looks but survived a sneak attack from Nene-sama to pin Marcia with the Stunner.
Takagi found himself in danger when Yujiru Nagata appeared. The doll put Takagi in the Nagata Armbar and almost made Takagi tap out. Takagi used all his strength to throw Nagata off him. Afterwards Nagata stopped moving so Takagi was declared the winner by knockout.
Takagi’s 4th opponent was Colonel Samba, a KFC mascot lookalike riding a giant chicken to the song “Samba De Janeiro”. Samba lost control of the chicken and it walked away from the ring so Takagi was again declared the winner.
The fifth and final opponent forced Takagi to look at himself in a new light. It was Underwear Takagi, a Sanshiro Takagi parody that wrestles in white briefs! They fought their way into Aurora Tower until they found themselves back outside. Sanshiro put on his own pair of white briefs and pinned Underwear with the Stunner to complete the gauntlet undefeated!
Takagi thanked Underwear for the perfect tribute right down to the entrance. He promoted DDT’s show taking place in Nemuro City later in the day. He also credited Samson Miyamoto for creating so many wonderful characters in New Nemuro. Miyamoto appeared and said he still has Andreza Giant Panda. He also compared New Nemuro to “ALL DOIN” and said it is no exaggeration that New Nemuro is the best group in Japan!
BASARA “BASARA 79 ~FEAST~”, 05/10/2018 Shin-Kiba 1st RING 243 Fans
1. Manabu Hara, Jun Masaoka & Akiyori Takizawa defeated Takumi Tsukamoto, Takato Nakano & Yasu Urano when Masaoka pinned Nakano with the Trace Kick (12:12).
2. Reversal Pro Wrestling Trial: Michael Wolf defeated Gouma Ryu and Banana Senga when Wolf pinned Senga with the Blue Thunder (6:49).
3. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Yusuke Kubo defeated Best Stretchman V3 & Best Stretchman Amazon when Hiroshi pinned V3 with the Halasana (9:28).
4. Minoru Fujita & Ryuichi Sekine Vs Ikuto Hidaka & Fuminori Abe ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).
5. Sakigake!! Iron Family Vs Brahman Brothers!: Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei defeated FUMA & SAGAT when Kei pinned SAGAT after the Five Body Dissatisfaction (8:30).
6. Union MAX Title: Ryota Nakatsu (c) defeated Daiki Shimomura with the V Slider (13:58). *V1 for Ryota Nakatsu.
Ryota Nakatsu was sombre in victory after his first successful Union MAX Title defence. Daiki Shimomura has changed since he came to BASARA. They had an exciting match for the title but Nakatsu isn’t ready to lose to him yet. With no trouble brewing between them, Nakatsu encouraged Shimomura and the rest of Sento Minzoku to go beat Ganbare☆Wrestling at their next show. Nakatsu raised a toast on his own to end the show and said he felt lonely. He knows that somewhere Isami Kodaka is watching. Nakatsu is here waiting for him. Kodaka can feel confident in Nakatsu leading BASARA in his absence.
The Brahman Brothers are back to make a mess in BASARA. They did their bowling ball and suitcase spot but FUMA & SAGAT later turned the tables and did the same spot to them. They lifted up Brahman Kei for a double Razor’s Edge move called the Crucifixion Of Death but Brahman Shu stopped them by throwing powder in their faces. They later blinded SAGAT with the black India Ink and pinned him with the Five Body Dissatisfaction pinning combination. The Brahmans led a “Heavy Metal” chant after they won.
Without a shadow of a doubt, Minoru Fujita is definitely a member of Sento Minzoku. He has a tail now so it is undeniable. Fujita & Ryuichi Sekine couldn’t beat Ikuto Hidaka & Fuminori Abe within the time limit. Both teams demanded extra time to be added. They even did push ups and squats to prove to the referee that they were all still able to continue. Their appeal was interrupted when suddenly Ken Ohka & Shota from Ganpro ran into the ring and attacked Sekine! Ohka grabbed the microphone and was about to speak when Daiki Shimomura blindsided him with a Missile Dropkick knocking him out of the ring. Sekine regrouped with Shota outside and declared Ganpro’s upcoming match with Sento Minzoku to be an all out fight! They’re even willing to fight outnumbered 3 Vs 2 now that Fujita is involved with them. Fujita taunted the Ganpro duo and reminded them of their history together. Ohka attempted to get in the ring but Shimomura kicked him off, forcing Ganpro to retreat. Sekine then properly invited Fujita to join Sento Minzoku, placing his red hoodie over his back. Fujita accepted the invitation.
Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi convinced Best Stretchman V3 to try out some yoga stretches. When V3 went into the Halasana position where he lies on his back and rolls onto his shoulders by lifting his legs, he felt so relaxed that he fell asleep. Hiroshi then gently pinned him for the three count.
The former Banana Senga returned to this form so he could participate in the Reversal Pro Wrestling Trials again. However his transformation wasn’t entirely complete because he still had the Stretch Man Man hook worn over his hand. American wrestler Michael Wolf was under trial for fraud. Apparently they thought Wolf was Ryuichi Sekine in disguise. Both Senga and Gouma Ryu attacked Wolf thinking he was a fake foreigner. Wolf hit them with a Double Lariat and pinned Senga with the Blue Thunder to prove his innocence. Wolf then called the both of them fake lawyers and fake wrestlers in Japanese.
FUMA will take on The Great Sasuke in the main event of “FUMA FEST VOL.2” on 8th December. FUMA doesn’t like how Sasuke used a song from the movie “Anvil” as his entrance music years ago. FUMA thinks that song was boring so he wants to give Sasuke a real lesson in heavy metal!
An update was given for Isami Kodaka’s current health. He was allowed to leave his hospital earlier than planned but it is unknown when he will be fit to return to the ring.

Konosuke Takeshita is the third Mote Mote wrestler.
The battle of RENEGADES sees Shigehiro Irie face off against Mizuki Watase. There is no bad blood between them so this will be more of a chance for them to say goodbye to each other.

The new Sento Minzoku unit is already finding a list of opponents to fight. Ryuichi Sekine will no doubt want to see how powerful his friend Ryota Nakatsu has become since becoming the Union MAX Champion. They both vowed to fight each other to become stronger wrestlers. Fuminori Abe is too pure and well behaved to fit in with the unit so he has to become a rival instead. Somebody speaking on behalf of Minoru Fujita signed him up for membership but we’ll see if he’s really up for it.

Dramatic DDT
