6. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title – Monthly Young Communication November Issue For Only Two People ~The First Time In Nine Years~: Keisuke Ishii (c) defeated Michio Kageyama with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (18:36). *V2 for Keisuke Ishii.
Keisuke Ishii took all that Michio Kageyama had to throw at him and that included tricks from Mr. Gannosuke’s playbook. He came out of the match still carrying the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title over his shoulder. Ken Ohka congratulated him at the end of the show. He also reminded him that he is a former champions and something he will definitely win it back. Ishii said he will always be waiting for Ohka’s challenge.
Ohka and Intelligence Sensational Grand Passion Mask #4 had been arguing with each other on Twitter in the build up to their tag match. They demanded that the other apologised and continued to do so several times during the match. There were points when Kouki Iwasaki and Kengo Takai stepped in and told their partners not to apologise otherwise it would be like giving up. Passion had the back of his trunks pulled down after a Sunset Flip from Ohka. His backside stayed exposed for the rest of the match. Ohka ended up pinning him and wanted to shake his hand afterwards. When Passion wouldn’t do it, Ohka left the ring. But Shota then appeared and helped Passion up to his feet.
A giddy Yumehito Imanari wanted to shake Nightshade’s hand before their match. Nightshade gave him the middle finger in a move that would make Maki Itoh proud. Nightshade hit the Neck Hanging Bomb and the Diving Senton to win. Imanari thanked Nightshade for wrestling him. He begged her to come back to Japan and become a regular foreign member of Pocchari Joshi.

5. DDT Extreme Title – 10 Vs 1 Captain’s Fall Match: HARASHIMA (c) Vs DJ Nira ended but nobody knows who won this match (17:00). *V2 for HARASHIMA for some reason.
6. “Local Celebrity” Super Sasadango Machine Local Triumph! Niigata Specialty Ultra Super Mechanko Special Single Match: Konosuke Takeshita defeated Super Sasadango Machine with the Verdict (21:17).
Today was Super Sasadango Machine’s toughest challenge in a while. He needed to figure out a way to beat Konosuke Takeshita. His PowerPoint presentation showed Sasadango is aware of his lack of stamina as a weakness. His plan was to get the audience to cheer his name at the five minute mark, do a big move to Takeshita on the ring apron and attack him with a weapon outside the ring. If all else fails he can rely on doing the Lehmann Shock three times for a victory as guaranteed as Hiroshi Tanahashi hitting the Sling Blade and the High Fly Flow.
The plan didn’t go quite as intended. The big apron bump was blocked, the bell hammer was taken as a weapon but it was Takeshita who used it on Sasadango. The Lehmann Shock was hit twice and Sasadango unmasked himself as time slowed down. But the third one was slowly countered into a Sling Blade. Takeshita climbed the ropes to do a High Fly Flow but Sasadango’s thoughts about a dead grandpa (I’ll explain that later) motivated him to stop Takeshita and hit the third Lehmann Shock! Shockingly, Takeshita kicked out at two and fought back. He used Muscle Sakai’s old finisher the Verdict to beat Sasadango.
After the match Takeshita told Sakai/Sasadango that he is a million years away from beating him. But he respects him especially since DDT does not have a new generation wrestler to replace the likes of him and Danshoku Dieno. Sasadango said today was the first time he took the Verdict. He never thought anyone other than Brock Lesnar would give it to him. He discovered that the move hurts his nose.
The rules for the 10 Vs 1 Captain’s Fall match were made a little bit clearer before it began. HARASHIMA was on the champion team, which meant he was on his own. DJ Nira was part of the 10 man team with other members of the roster. However the captain of that team was purposely kept secret so the audience could have fun solving the mystery with HARASHIMA. Nira had Masahiro Takanashi, Antonio Honda, Makoto Oishi, Keigo Nakamura and even the referee Yukinori Matsui helping him. However the ring announcer Inoue Mic noticed that Nira’s team did not have 10 people in it. He then admitted that he was the team captain! The team all beat up HARASHIMA until Nira told them to stop. This was supposed to be him challenging for the DDT Extreme Title so he wanted the match to just be between himself and HARASHIMA. The ring emptied. Nira went for the Rocket Punch. HARASHIMA went for the Somato. When they hit the room went dark. An old Hisaya Imabayashi appeared sitting on a chair telling the story of this legendary battle. A voice asked “Hey Grandpa, what happened after that?” Imabayashi did not respond. A narrator told the audience “Grandpa was dead. Nobody knows who won this match.”
DAMNATION won the 6-Man Tag but things were looking shaky within the group. At one point Daisuke Sasaki accidentally Clotheslined Soma Takao. They patched things up but later on Sasaki accidentally hit Soma again with a Spear. They still won but Takao left the ring and took no part in the post-match group pose.

7. International Princess Title: Maki Itoh (c) defeated Nightshade with the Flying Big Head (10:47). *V1 for Maki Itoh.
Maki Itoh is now the first champion to successfully defend the International Princess Title! She was able to kick out of Nightshade’s Neck Hanging Bomb. Nightshade went high risk with a Diving Senton but Itoh rolled out of the way. She then removed the ribbon from her pigtails before trading strikes with Nightshade. Itoh got the upper hand by using Headbutts and a DDT. She then hit the Flying Big Head from a long distance to get the win. Itoh told Nightshade she will never forget her because she took Itoh’s first defence virginity! They locked their little fingers together as thanks. Afterwards Itoh said she will be ready when Tokyo Joshi Pro returns to New York next April… She got New York mixed up with Tampa.
Operation Bring Back Hyper Misao took the next step today as Rika Tatsumi & Raku held a protest before their match with NEO Biishiki-gun! In scenes mirroring a stunt pulled by Hyper Misao last year, Tatsumi launched the National Come Back Home Hyper Misao Federation! Tatsumi & Raku brought out signs and protest gear including the style of cloak that Hyper Misao used to wear. Misao didn’t care and she attacked Tatsumi with a cane before pinning Raku with the Vanitas. Sakisama challenged Tatsumi to a match on 23rd November.
Yuki Aino’s Camel Clutch style Full Nelson now has a name. It is the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire!

9. DDT Martial Arts Open Tournament 2019 – Final: HARASHIMA defeated Hoshitango with a Half Crab (6:01).
The tournament matches could end by pinfall, submission, knockout, TKO and Ring Out. Also draws would have eliminated both wrestlers from the tournament. Some of the wrestlers took a straightforward approach. Yukio Sakaguchi and Makoto Oishi for example each wore a karate gi and had a normal grappling contest. Then things got weird for a little bit.
Pokotan wore boxing gloves and was programmed to fight as such until Tanomusaki Toba literally kicked its head off. Saki Akai took on a sukeban attitude and attacked Hoshitango with a bamboo sword. She also had a plastic bag containing something suspicious that she inhaled. Kazusada Higuchi pulled the bag from her which accidentally caused Akai to fall out of the ring. Things got back to normal when HARASHIMA beat Keigo Nakamura in a normal fight.
The semi-finals both ended with Ring Out finished. Toba knocked Sakaguchi off the apron with a Right Hook. HARASHIMA knocked Hoshitango through the ropes and out of the ring with the Somato. In the final HARASHIMA trapped Toba in a Half Crab to make him tap out.
Yuki Iino approached HARASHIMA at the end of the show to talk about their KO-D Openweight Title match on 24th November. Iino said he wants to beat HARASHIMA so he can begin his own era. He did a bit of the Haka to startle the champion. HARASHIMA recognised the enthusiasm but said he will definitely beat Iino and defend the title.

YAROZ “YAROZ PART 8”, 12/11/2018 Shin-Kiba 1st RING 132 Fans

6. YaroZ-gun Vs Ikemen-gun All Out Battle!: Ken Ohka, Antonio Honda & Toru Owashi defeated Jiro Kuroshio, Makoto Oishi & Mizuki Watase when Honda pinned Watase with the Diving Fist Drop (12:48).
See if this sounds familiar. The Ikemen Army kidnapped the guest idol (this time it was Sakurako-san) and the YaroZ Army beat them in the main event to rescue her. The Ikemen refused to let her go but Cherry and Banny Oikawa entered the ring for the save. This time however Jiro Kuroshio and Makoto Oishi fought them off and said the usual YaroZ ending wasn’t going to be repeated. When all hope was lost, Yukio Sakaguchi entered the ring. He isn’t with BOYZ anymore so he is joining YaroZ today! Sakaguchi chased off the Ikemen Army and rescued the women. The YaroZ asked Oikawa and Sakurako-san to hang out with them after the show but they turned them all down. Cherry wanted to hang out though, specifically with Keigo Nakamura. He didn’t want to because he thinks Cherry is as old as his mother. Cherry didn’t care and she dragged Nakamura out of the ring.
The Sensual Novel Death Match had Naoki Tanizaki and Hiroshi Yamato reading erotica to Ryuichi Sekine after every 2 count pin or submission. Danshoku Dieno was there to help determine if Sekine was aroused enough to end the match. Unfortunately no amount of erotic storytelling could excite Sekine. As more stories were told, wrestlers and ringside personnel were getting aroused, even Dieno! Sekine was exiting the ring when an Enya song played over the speakers. That did it! Everyone was too aroused to do anything so the match ended with Enya as the winner.
Sakurako-san was on the show to be the round girl for the Handicap Match. She began fully dressed and took off a piece of clothing after every round. Hideki Sekine destroyed Gota Ihashi & Keigo Nakamura but all of the referees and other wrestlers did what they could to keep the match going and complete the striptease. Yuya Okada eventually had enough and ended the match when Sekine squeezed the life out of Nakamura with a Bearhug. Yukinori Matsui attacked Okada and wrestled him over the decision. Sakurako-san calmed everyone down by stripping down to her bikini. That was when the Ikemen Army kidnapped her.
The Fundoshi match ended in a No Contest when Yuki Iino was so excited from hitting the Spear that he tried to remove his loincloth. Matsui blocked him and called for the bell.
