DNA, Saitama Slam, Beer Garden Cards, Namiguchi Threatens Ganbare

August 5, 2016

DDT “DNA 19”, 06/08/2016
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

1. Daiki Shimomura Vs Nobuhiro Shimatani

4. Shunma Katsumata & Guanchulo Vs Mike Bailey & Kouki Iwasaki
5. Mizuki Watase Vs Kengo Mashimo
6. Kazusada Higuchi Vs Kota Umeda

Oh dear. Maybe Kengo Mashimo will go easy on Mizuki Watase. Nah!

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM! VOL. 13”, 06/08/2016
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

1. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles Tournament – Semi Final: Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie Vs Makoto Oishi, Shunma Katsumata & MAO

Very interesting 4 Way Match taking place here. The two participants in the “PETER PAN 2016” main event are in the match but that can change that drastically if Toru Owashi takes the fall and loses his Right To Challenge Contract. Heck, Kazusada Higuchi could argue for a spot in the main event were he to pin either Konosuke Takeshita or Shuji Ishikawa.

Shinjuku FACE

1. DDT Grand Sumo Tournament Summer Tournament: HARASHIMA, Konosuke Takeshita, Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Keisuke Ishii

He is bringing Shibata and another mystery wrestler to his side to crush Ganpuro before it reaches Korakuen.

Beer Garden Fight 2016

July 26, 2016

DDT’s summer tradition is now in a new home. This year’s Beer Garden week takes place in Shinjuku FACE instead of Shin-Kiba 1st RING. Most of the shows are put together by a different wrestler or group every night. What follows is a whirlwind of beer and creativity with some crazy match ideas and side events.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2016 ~DDT DAY~”, 08/08/2016
Shinjuku FACE

1. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Toru Owashi
*Toru Owashi will cash in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

The week is supposed to begin with a KO-D Openweight Title match. This could change if Toru Owashi loses his Right To Challenge contract to someone else before then.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2016 ~SHUTEN-DOJI DAY~”, 09/08/2016
Shinjuku FACE

1. Scary Story That Surrounds Yukio Sakaguchi: Yukio Sakaguchi Vs X
2. Glove Match: Saki Akai Vs Gota Ihashi (Special Referee: KUDO)

Two Beer Garden traditions take place here. First is Hisaya Imabayashi telling a scary ghost story. The other is Gota Ihashi getting punched in the head so many times that it should be registered as a crime. This year might be more pleasant for him since he’s fighting the love of his life Saki Akai.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2016 ~HAPPY MOTELS DAY~”, 10/08/2016
Shinjuku FACE

1. Happy Motels Dinner Show: X Vs X
2. Tuxedo Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi

Next up Happy Motels will go the classy route. Konosuke Takeshita and Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi wrestling in tuxedos. What could go wrong?

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2016 ~DANSHOKU DINO DAY~”, 11/08/2016
Shinjuku FACE

1. Objectively And Scientifically Determine The Group Leader Match: Makoto Oishi Vs Shunma Katsumata Vs MAO
2. Lariat Pro Vs Knee Pro: Keisuke Ishii & Tanomusaku Toba Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Daiki Shimomura
3. Beer Garden Specialty Falls Count Anywhere Match: Super Sasadango Machine Vs X
4. Something By Danshoku Dino: Danshoku Dino Vs X

There is usually one match where there is nothing but Lariats or Jumping Knee Strikes. Danshoku Dino decided to kill two birds with one stone. Meanwhile NωA fights among themselves to determine who is the leader.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2016 ~SMILE SQUASH DAY~”, 11/08/2016
Shinjuku FACE

1. DDT Grand Sumo Tournament Summer Tournament: X Vs X
2. Akito Produce Match: Akito Vs Danshoku Dino

Smile Squash like their sumo tournaments.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2016 ~DAMNATION DAY~”, 12/08/2016
Shinjuku FACE

1. Fat Lumberjack Match: Shuji Ishikawa Vs Nobuhiro Shimatani (Lumberjacks: Mad Paulie, Gota Ihashi)
2. Rounds Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Masahiro Takanashi
3. Survival Anywhere Blindfold Bra 4 Way Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Antonio Honda Vs Toru Owashi Vs Yoshiko
4. Hardcore 6-Man Tag Team Match: Shuji Ishikawa, Mad Paulie & Tetsuya Endo Vs Masashi Takeda, Kazusada Higuchi & Choun-Shiryu

Oh dear God whose idea was it to put Yoshiko in the Blindfold Bra match?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2016 ~TOKYO JOSHI PRO DAY~”, 13/08/2016
Shinjuku FACE

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Yuu Vs Akane Miura
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Shoko Nakajima Vs Hyper Misao
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: X Vs X

The last day begins with the final rounds of the Tokyo Princess Cup.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2016 ~DDT DAY~”, 13/08/2016
Shinjuku FACE

So far nothing is announced for the final day. Since it is the final DDT show before “PETER PAN 2016” expect things to go out of control.

Dick Togo wants revenge on Daisuke Sasaki for attacking him at Korakuen Hall last week. He also wants to teach Tetsuya Endo a lesson after he tried to get in the way of Togo’s confrontation with Sasaki in Yokohama this past weekend. He challenged both of them to a Tag Team match but didn’t realise he needed a partner. Amon Tsurumi solved that problem by pairing him with Bailey.

2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Akane Miura Vs Rika Tatsumi
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Yuka Sakazaki Vs Shoko Nakajima
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Yuu Vs Azusa Takigawa
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: Hyper Misao Vs KANNA
6. 3 Way Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Nonoko Vs Marika Kobashi

This weekend is busy enough as it is with four shows of different sizes being held by the DDT family. Now that Pokémon Go is available in Japan it’s going to be even busier.

DDT “YOKOHAMA TWILIGHT 2016 ~SUMMER~”, 23/07/2016
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Masahiro Takanashi Vs Gota Ihashi
2. Yukio Sakaguchi & Kota Umeda Vs Soma Takao & Tomomitsu Matsunaga

4. Ken Ohka, KAI & Shota Vs HARASHIMA, Akito & Yasu Urano

7. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles Tournament – Round 1: Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Kouki Iwasaki & Mizuki Watase

The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title tournament kicks off. DAMNATION were intimidating enough when they formed and now they look unstoppable with Tetsuya Endo on their side. Fantastic Memories were formed especially for this tournament but there is now a conflict of interests because Super Sasadango Machine also manages NωA.

DDT “HANDMADE IN JAPAN FES 2016”, 24/07/2016
Tokyo Big Sight

Falls Count Anywhere 3 Way Tag Match: Konosuke Takashita & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Sanshiro Takagi & MAO Vs Soma Takao & Kota Umeda

Again, this will probably be a good spot for Pokémon Go play so heads up everyone.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “OSAKA BEER GARDEN WRESTLING 2016”, 24/07/2016
Osaka Okinawa Hall

Bambi is bringing a whip and Yumehito Imanari is bringing candy for the Hardcore main event. Ken Ohka is waiting to see what weapon Ai Shimizu wants to use before he decides what to get.

BASARA “VAJRA 16 ~FLAWLESS~”, 28/07/2016
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Ryota Nakatsu & Koji Iwamoto Vs Daichi Kazato & Tsutomu Oosugi

4. Chain Match: SAGAT Vs Yusuke Kubo
5. TLC Match: Takumi Tsukamoto Vs FUMA
6. Ryuichi Sekine Vs Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi

In his quest to become the BASARA ace, Ryuichi Sekine refuses to accept Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi as the true winner of Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~. Hiroshi thinks Sekine is just jealous that the greatest “foreign” wrestler in the company won the tournament.

SAGAT demanded his match with Yusuke Kubo to be a Chain Match. The reason for this is important. SAGAT often used a chain on his enemies back when he was part of the King Legion stable in Union. The same stable FUMA was the leader of.

TAVERN WRESTLING “DRUNKERS KINGDOM ~MOST DRUNK IN TAVERN’S HISTORY FOR 3 DAYS!!~”, 01/08/2016

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Miyu Yamashita & Yuka Sakazaki Vs Akane Miura & Azusa Takigawa

Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi used his Heaven Summit winnings to bring back his Ultimate Superstars Action brand for one night only. Famous American wrestlers scheduled to appear are Hanolek Hogaso, KI Punk, Hara Cena, SUMO Rock, “Stone Cold” Sekine Ryuichin, A Kit O and Tazu Urano.

TAVERN WRESTLING “DRUNKERS KINGDOM ~MOST DRUNK IN TAVERN’S HISTORY FOR 3 DAYS!!~”, 03/08/2016

5. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Mike Bailey Vs Daichi Kazato & Tsutomu Oosugi
6. Fluorescent Light IPPON Grand Prix – Final: Winner Of A Block Vs Winner Of B Block

Don’t know how many lighttubes will be used for the Fluorescent Light IPPON Grand Prix tournament. Previous use of lighttubes in Tavern Wrestling have been limited to only one or two getting smashed but that was in a different venue. Shin-Kiba 1st RING might open up the possibility of using more.

Danshoku Dino & Keisuke Ishii have named their new unit Fantastic Memories and invited Super Sasadango Machine to join them. So far the group is made up of former members of Belt Hunter X Hunter.

1. NωA Road To DDT Fes 2016 ~ Sasadango Teaches How To Survive Showbiz: Makoto Oishi, Shunma Katsumata, MAO & Super Sasadango Machine Vs Antonio Honda, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi, Lady Beard & Gorgeous Matsuno
2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Battle Royal: ??? (c) Vs Reika Saiki Vs X

6. AJPW World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Hikaru Sato (c) Vs Soma Takao
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles – Uchikomi! Presents: Ken Ohka & KAI (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Yuko Miyamoto
8. KO-D Openweight Title – Good Com Asset Presents: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

The Tag Team Titles will be fought over by two pairs of brothers from other mothers. Ken Ohka & KAI aren’t the first wrestlers from separate promotions to bond together in DDT. HARASHIMA & Yuko Miyamoto have been good buddies for a while and have teamed together at the last New Year’s Eve show.

Soma Takao is still undefeated at “PETER PAN” with a 7-0 record on the show. He can make it 8-0 and win the AJPW Jr. Title too if he beats Hikaru Sato.

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title is scheduled to return home next month. However its current trip around the world might make a return difficult. DDT is limited by who they can bring in for the Battle Royal. It is impossible for them to bring in any of the wrestlers who recently won the title overseas.

Super Sasadango Machine is now managing NωA and handling their efforts to enter the music industry. He organised a match against other wrestlers who have or had some sort of music career away from wrestling.

Iron Man Update, MC.33 Coming To BASARA, Ganbare Prepares For Korakuen

July 13, 2016

Time for an update on the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title’s tour of America. When we last left the belt it was being held by Ricochet, you know the guy from that gif? No, not the English fella the other one. Yeah him. Since then the title lineage went like this: Brian Metz, Matt Striker, Cheerleader Melissa (by massage), Matt Cross (via too much food), Brian Cage, Joey Ryan, Laura James (as burlesque luchadora Alacrana Plata #2), Buggy Nova (in a proper wrestling match!), Ryan again (not in a proper wrestling match), Scarlett Bordeaux, Rhyno (traded an autograph for the title) and now Robbie E (his win counts as a Ladder Match). Last one is interesting because it’s a TNA guy beating someone who just appeared on an NXT broadcast. So yeah, this championship of all things is now providing the inter-promotional competition some fans have craved for years.

4. Yukihiro Abe Tomodachi-gun Graduation Test: Minoru Fujita Vs Yukihiro Abe
5. Ganpuro Hardcore Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Ai Shimizu Vs Yumehito Imanari & Bambi

Ken Ohka is continuing his hard work to make Ganbare☆Wrestling’s Korakuen Hall debut a success. Ideas include different seating layouts including a reserved seat placed inside the ring for the entire show. Ohka was told this was done recently by Kuishinbo Kamen at Shin-Kiba 1st RING but he is not deterred by that. Ohka has hundreds of ideas like having chairs placed in the arena balconies. He thinks they can fill thousands more people that way.

It seems that Yumehito Imanari and Bambi have sorted out their problems and are willing to team together. Imanari is thrilled by this news. This Hardcore match is put together to show Osaka what Ganpuro is all about. Each wrestler will have a weapon with them for the match. Bambi has her whip and Imanari is bringing a lot of candy.

Ohka stormed a Gatoh Move show in Ichigaya earlier this week requesting Emi Sakura to wrestle for Ganpuro in August. Sakura was offended by Ohka’s attitude and turned down the offer. However Sayaka Obihiro took up the offer instead. Ohka wants to make sure Obihiro will be a good enough replacement by putting her in a tryout match at the end of the month.

Mitomi Masayuki is becoming obsessed over Mars Spector. He wants to avenge Shibata’s loss to Spector and is determined to fight him again and again and again until he wins. His stablemate Rainbow Kawamura offered to help. An enemy of Enjo-gun is his enemy too.

Ganbare Books Korakuen, Isami Goes MC.33 Returns, Hiroshi Funds U.S.A

July 8, 2016

ganbare-korakuen

After an intense period of negotiations Ganbare☆Wrestling will soon hold its first show in Korakuen Hall this October! Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari yesterday streamed live on Nico Douga their meeting with the Korakuen manager to book their show. Ohka originally wanted to hold the show on a Sunday but was told every Sunday is booked out for the rest of the year. He was offered Noon on a Saturday but Ohka begged and pleaded with the manager to find him a Sunday spot. The manager discovered there was a cancellation for 2nd October so that day became available. Ohka handed over 500,000 yen to pay for the deposit but was told he was 50,000 yen short. Imanari had another 20,000 and they eventually convinced the reporter and photographer who accompanied them to cough up the remaining cash. That was enough to confirm the spot, noon on 2nd October!

BASARA “VAJRA 15 WU”, 20/07/2016
Saitama Wrestle Fighter Museum

1. FUMA Vs SAGAT
2. Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Yusuke Kubo
3. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Tsutomu Oosugi Vs Ryuichi Sekine & Ryota Nakatsu

Isami Kodaka made an unexpected decision to pull himself from this show. He has decided to take some time off after failing to win the Heaven Summit ~Itadaki~ tournament. Taking his place is a blast from the past, MC.33 (pronounced MC Sammy). This is a masked wrestler who appeared on the CRUSIER’S GAME brand during the mid-2000s. Kodaka describes him as a legend and is excited to see him in BASARA.

Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi is using his prize winnings from Heaven Summit to fund the return of U.S.A. The brand will takeover one of the Tavern Wrestling tripleshot shows at the beginning of August, specifically the show held on 2nd August.

BASARA “VAJRA 16 ~FLAWLESS~”, 28/07/2016
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Ryuichi Sekine
2. Hardcore Match: Yusuke Kubo Vs SAGAT
3. Hardcore Match: FUMA & Takumi Tsukamoto

The feud between Tsukasaga Army and Kotetsu Gundan continues with several singles matches between the two sides. In Saitama it is just regular singles matches but afterwards in Shin-Kiba the matches will become Hardcore.

Ryuichi Sekine now has Hiroshi in his sights. Sekine wants to be the ace of BASARA so obviously the Heaven Summit winner and conqueror of Isami Kodaka is his next target.

Takeshita Vs Endo, DDT Shilling Stuff, Takagi & KENSO Team (What Could Go Wrong?)

July 5, 2016

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM! VOL. 12”, 09/07/2016
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

1. When Case Take Anywhere! Owashi Siege Encirclement! 4 Way Match: Toru Owashi Vs Masa Takanashi Vs Yasu Urano Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga
2. Danshoku Dino, Keisuke Ishii & Gota Ihashi Vs Makoto Oishi, Shunma Katsumata & MAO
3. DAMNATION’s First Trio Match Stomping!: Daisuke Sasaki, Shuji Ishikawa & Mad Paulie Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Kouki Iwasaki & Guanchulo
4. Shigehiro Irie Vs Soma Takao
5. Infomercial Match – Dramatic Exercise Series: Super Sasadango Machine & Mizuki Watase Vs Kazuki Hirata & Saki Akai
6. Akito Comeback Match: HARASHIMA & Akito Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Kota Umeda
7. Konosuke Takeshita & Antonio Honda Vs Tetsuya Endo & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi

The emergence of Tetsuya Endo challenging Konosuke Takeshita for the KO-D Openweight Title has created a small rift in Happy Motels for now. Antonio Honda is siding with Takeshita while Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi is siding with Endo. This leads to a tag team match between the two teams in Saitama.

DDT is using the Infomercial Match to shill their own exercise equipment. Kazuki Hirata & Saka Akai are two of the faces of the Dramatic Exercise Series brand.

With only two Right To Challenge Contracts left in play and one of them soon to be cashed in, Toru Owashi is now a targeted man. He’s been very patient when it comes to getting his title shot but with every upcoming match he risks losing that chance.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2016 IN MAEBASHI ~DRAMATIC DREAM TONTON~”, 10/07/2016
Maebashi Green Dome Sub Arena

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Toru Owashi & Soma Takao Vs Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata Vs Akito & Nobuhiro Shimatani
2. Danshoku Dino, Kazusada Higuchi & Gota Ihashi Vs Yukio Sakaguchi, Masa Takanashi & Kota Umeda
3. Tetsuya Endo & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Keisuke Ishii & Guanchulo
4. Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Mad Paulie
5. Grudge Settlement! Avenge Kawaguchi In Maebashi! Maebashi Specialty Special Single Match: KENSO Vs Kazuki Hirata
6. Konosuke Takeshita & Antonio Honda Vs HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano

KENSO still has beef with Sanshiro Takagi and that will be sorted out later. But he also has Kazuki Hirata bothering him. Will he swat him aside or fall under Hirata’s dancing spell?

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2016”, 17/07/2016
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Soma Takao & Akito Vs Masa Takanashi & Kota Umeda
2. Danshoku Dino, Super Sasadango Machine, Antonio Honda, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Saki Akai Vs Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata, Gota Ihashi, Guanchulo & Cherry
3. DAMNATION Vs NωA: Daisuke Sasaki, Shuji Ishikawa & Mad Paulie Vs Makoto Oishi, Shunma Katsumata & MAO
4. That’s Breaking The Rut! Saihai Of Super Talented GM Amon Tsurumi! Special Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & KENSO Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Mizuki Watase
5. Shigehiro Irie Send-off Match: Shigehiro Irie & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs HARASHIMA & Keisuke Ishii
6. Dick Togo Return Second Leg! Special Tag Match: Dick Togo & Yasu Urano Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Kouki Iwasaki
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo
*Tetsuya Endo will cash in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

Amon Tsurumi has kept an eye over the feud between Sanshiro Takagi and KENSO this year and decided to do something about it. Both wrestlers have been on a rut in DDT so Tsurumi came up with the bright idea of making them team together to break that rut.

DDT “DNA 19”, 06/08/2016
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

1. Kazusada Higuchi Vs Kota Umeda

The fight is on to determine who the top wrestler of DNA really is. Kota Umeda has gained a new fire ever since he came back from his recent absence.

DDT “PETER PAN 2016 ~MOST HOT SUMMER IN THE WORLD~”, 28/08/2016
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special 6-Man Tag Team Match: Terry Funk, Sanshiro Takagi & NOSAWA Rongai Vs Great Kabuki, Yukio Sakaguchi & Kota Umeda
2. DDT Extreme Title: LiLiCo (c) Vs Danshoku Dino
3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Ken Ohka & KAI (c) Vs X & X
4. KO-D Openweight Title – Watase Contra Watase: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

The winner of LiLiCo Vs Danshoku Dino not only gets the DDT Extreme Title but also Mizuki Watase. The loser can never touch Watase ever again. That would put a dent on his relationship with LiLiCo for sure!

8. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Yuko Miyamoto
*Yuko Miyamoto will cash in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

Once Yuko Miyamoto gets his title shot there will be two remaining Right To Challenge contracts in play. Toru Owashi and Kouki Iwasaki currently have them. Owashi has impressively kept hold of his ever since he earned it back in March. He’s just waiting for the right time to use it.

LiLiCo and Mizuki Watase have been training hard for the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Death Match. And by training hard I mean making out in the DDT dojo.

TAVERN WRESTLING “DON’T THE HANGOVER 2016”, 06/07/2016
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Miyu Yamashita & Azusa Takigawa Vs Yuka Sakazaki & Yuu
2. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Makoto Oishi
3. Obi-chan Close Call! 3 Way Match: Antonio Honda Vs Shunma Katsumata Vs Obihiro Sayaka

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “KASUKABE LOVE RIN”, 09/07/2016
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

1. Reika Saiki & Azusa Takigawa Vs Shoko Nakajima & KANNA

4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1C: Yuu Vs Nodoka Onee-san
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1D: Miyu Yamashita Vs Hyper Misao

Opponents have now become tag partners in the opener. Reika Saiki faced Azusa Takigawa in her Tokyo Joshi debut.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2016”, 17/07/2016
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Dick Togo Return Second Leg! Special Tag Match: Dick Togo & Yasu Urano Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Kouki Iwasaki
2. Shigehiro Irie Send-off Match: Shigehiro Irie & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs HARASHIMA & Keisuke Ishii

Shigehiro Irie’s final DDT match for now involves his closest allies and rivals. He’s teaming with Yukio Sakaguchi because they rarely if not ever wrestled together on the same side. He’s fighting HARASHIMA because he ultimately wants to surpass him. Keisuke Ishii is also there because of their close ties together in Team Drift. They were champions together but now go their separate ways.

As one of the few remaining Right To Challenge holders, Kouki Iwasaki is in a dangerous position going up against a fresh out of retirement Dick Togo.

DDT “PETER PAN 2016 ~MOST HOT SUMMER IN THE WORLD~”, 28/08/2016
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special 6-Man Tag Team Match: Terry Funk, Sanshiro Takagi & NOSAWA Rongai Vs Great Kabuki, Yukio Sakaguchi & Kota Umeda
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

Shuji Ishikawa’s spot in the main event is guaranteed. However the KO-D Champion could change between now and then. Konosuke Takeshita has other title defences to worry about including any possible Right To Challenge cash ins.

Dick Togo and Reika Saiki are scheduled to wrestle on the show. Shigehiro Irie will not due to his excursion to America.
