Fukuda Wants Justice On FUMA, Higuchi Cashes In, Sasaki Hoards The Rest

May 20, 2015

UNION “KAZEKAORU UNION 2015”, 23/05/2015
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. Ryu Gouma Vs Kazuhiko Ogasawara
2. Daichi Kazato Vs Mitomi Masayuki
3. Cherry Vs Aoi Ishibashi
4. MEN’S Teioh, Kazushi Miyamoto & SAGAT Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Masato Shibata & Ladybeard
5. Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: A.YAZAWA Vs Mio Shirai
6. 1 Vs 3 Handicap Match: FUMA Vs Seiya Morohashi, Hiroshi Fukuda & Yusuke Kubo
7. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Ikuto Hidaka

Hiroshi Fukuda is looking forward to getting his hands on FUMA. He thinks giving him a 3-on-1 beatdown would strike a big blow to the King Legion. Justice will be served and he compared FUMA to Darth Vader from Star Wars. Was Darth Vader a nice guy? Nope!

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN SAPPORO ~DRAMATIC DREAM CLOCK TOWER~”, 24/05/2015
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Antonio Honda Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Kazuki Hirata
2. Yukio Sakaguchi & Saki Akai Vs Yasu Urano & DJ Nira
3. MIKAMI, Tomoya & Makoto Oishi Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao
4. Akito Vs Kouki Iwasaki
5. KUDO & Masa Takanashi Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake
6. Falls Count Anywhere Special 4 Way Match: Kota Ibushi Vs Sanshiro Takagi Vs Konosuke Takeshita Vs Danshoku Dino
7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi

Kazusada Higuchi is going to be the first person to cash in the Right To Challenge Contract and in his home prefecture no less. Daisuke Sasaki and Ken Ohka currently have the others.

DDT “AUDIENCE 2015”, 31/05/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. T2Hide New Members Audition: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs X, X & X
2. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao (c) Vs Kota Ibushi, Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake

The originally planned KO-D Openweight Title match main event has been scrapped because KUDO lost his Right To Challenge Contract to Daisuke Sasaki. KUDO was going to cash in his title shot on this show. Sasaki shows no signs of doing the same, instead he is trying to win every single contract available. I’m not even sure if it’s supposed to be the ultimate insurance policy and not just Sasaki turning into an obsessive hoarder.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2015 OSAKA”, 14/06/2015
Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium #2

1. King Of DDT 2015 – Round 2: X Vs X
2. King Of DDT 2015 – Round 2: X Vs X
3. King Of DDT 2015 – Round 2: X Vs X
4. King Of DDT 2015 – Round 2: X Vs X
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi (c) Vs MIKAMI & Shuji Ishikawa

Due to MIKAMI getting a KO-D Tag Team Title shot he will not be competing in this year’s King Of DDT tournament. But he has just the guy to help him fight Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi strength for strength. Shuji Ishikawa has a lot of history with Sekimoto in both Big Japan and Union. He has also defeated Okabayashi one on on back in February.

Tokyo Joshi And Union In Kitazawa Town Hall

May 15, 2015

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “KITAZAWA DASH”, 23/05/2015
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. Yuka Sakazaki (w/ Kendo Ririko) Vs Akane Miura
2. Chikage Kiba Vs Hyper Misao
3. Shoko Nakajima & Erin Vs Ai Shimizu & KANNA
4. Nonoko Vs MIZUHO
5. Miyu Yamashita Vs Saki Akai

Nonoko Vs MIZUHO is the battle of the sex appeal!

This is KANNA’s first match since joining Biishiki-gun. Ai Shimizu says KANNA has been reborn into something beautiful.

Hyper Misao has been fighting 1.47m high monsters in preparation for her next enemy… a college student. Chikage Kiba returns after a several month absence.

Previous Tokyo Joshi shows invited idol groups to perform in between matches. This time the roster will split into groups and do the musical performances themselves. The first group is Mentai Gyo Uza Mango Soe (Mentai Dumplings Served With Mango is the literal translation I’m getting) made up of Miyu Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki & Erin.

UNION “KAZEKAORU UNION 2015”, 23/05/2015
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: A.YAZAWA Vs Mio Shirai
2. 1 Vs 3 Handicap Match: FUMA Vs Seiya Morohashi, Hiroshi Fukuda & Yusuke Kubo
3. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Ikuto Hidaka

FUMA’s constant bragging of being the best wrestler in Union has drawn the ire of everyone not in the King Legion. After being confronted by Seiya Morohashi, Hiroshi Fukuda & Yusuke Kubo at the end of “GOLDEN UNION 2015”, FUMA dared all of them to fight him 3 on 1. That’s exactly what is going to happen in Kitazawa Town Hall.

SUPER CINDERELLA 1st Round, Right To Challenge 3 Way, Who Captured Shawn?

May 12, 2015

GANBARE☆JOSHI “RAISING AN ARMY ~ BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA~”, 16/05/2015
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA – Round 1: Hong Kong International Women Police Man Vs Miyako Matsumato
2. BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA – Round 1: Aoi Ishibashi Vs Orirabu
3. BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA – Round 1: Haruka Kato Vs J-Soul Pandita III IV’s Sister
4. BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA – Round 1: Manami Kanda Vs Akemi Papiyon
5. Ganbare☆Wrestling Raising An Army Anniversary Special Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari Vs Yukihiro Abe & Shinichiro Tominaga
6. BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA – Semi Final: X Vs X
7. BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA – Semi Final: X Vs X
8. BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA – Final: X Vs X

Hong Kong International Women Police Man is still expected to be Atsushi Maruyama in disguise.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “WOW WAR TONIGHT 2015”, 16/05/2015
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Ganbare☆Single Match: Yukihiro Abe Vs Tiger Bedscene
2. Power Of Dreams Showdown ~ Acceptance Of Rikidozan III Vs Hotel Scam Again: Chikara Vs Yumehito Imanari
3. The Answer Is NO! Special 3 Way Match: Mr. No Vs Kiku Montaro Vs Kuzu Hayashi
4. The True Value Of Leeway Generation X!?: Shinichiro Tominaga Vs GENTARO
5. Reunion Of Fate! Black Jack Of The Lion And The Rubbish Heap: Ken Ohka & Minoru Fujita Vs Shibata & Mitomi Masayuki

Kiku Montaro and Kuzu Hayashi are indie wrestlers. I think we all know who Mr. No is going to be.

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA”, 17/05/2015
Nagoya Nakamura Sports Center

1. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Shunma Katsumata
2. Amon Tsurumi Cup Battle Royal: MIKAMI Vs Masa Takanashi Vs Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Makoto Oishi Vs Suguru Miyatake Vs Saki Akai Vs DJ Nira
3. Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata
4. Anytime, Anywhere Holder 3 Way Match: KUDO Vs Kazusada Higuchi Vs Daisuke Sasaki
5. Different Life ~Sound Of Impermanence~: Danshoku Dino Vs Jinsei Shinzaki
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano
7. DDT Extreme Title – Last Man Standing Match: Akito (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

A high stakes 3 Way Match guarantees one Right To Challenge Contract will change hands. Daisuke Sasaki wants to have every contract for himself so he can have a Plan B, C, D and E if his eventual cash in fails. He currently has two in his possession but he risks losing one if KUDO or Kazusada Higuchi beat him. Speaking of those two, they are both just weeks away from cashing in their contracts. To lose it now would be catastrophic for that person.

Amon Tsurumi will be the judge for his own Battle Royal. He will pick the winner based on whoever best meets his standards, whatever they are.

UNION “KAZEKAORU UNION 2015”, 23/05/2015
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. Isami Kodaka Vs Ikuto Hidaka

Isami Kodaka has said he uses the Shawn Capture Hold because he is a fan of Zero1 wrestler Ikuto Hidaka. He has invited Hidaka over to Union for a match to find out who uses the move better. Also because it will be a good match and Kodaka hopes everyone will enjoy as much as he will.

DDT “THANK YOU TEISEN! GOODBYE TEISEN! ~WITH LOVE AND GRATITUDE FROM DDT~”, 24/05/2015
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. MIKAMI Vs Makoto Oishi
2. Tomoya & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Suguru Miyatake & Kouki Iwasaki
3. Sanshiro Takagi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & DJ Nira
4. Yasu Urano & Akito Vs Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao
5. Teisen Specialty Sea Urchin, Salmon Roe And Scallop Bowl 3 Way Match: Antonio Honda Vs Masa Takanashi Vs Saki Akai
6. Danshoku Dino Vs Daisuke Sasaki
7. Thank You Teisen! Goodbye Teisen! Special Match: HARASHIMA, Kota Ibushi & KUDO Vs Shigehiro Irie, Konosuke Takeshita & Kazusada Higuchi

Although this is the final DDT solo show in Sapporo Teisen Hall, DDT will be working with NOAH, Big Japan, K-Dojo, FREEDOMS and Tenryu Project for the very last wrestling show in the building on 30th June.

Matches For M.I.O 3, Saitama Slam 2, Ganbare Stuff & Teisen Farewell

May 8, 2015

UNION, OZ ACADEMY, WAVE, ICE RIBBON “M.I.O 3”, 09/05/2015
Osaka Ikuno Kumen Center

1. 3 Way Match: Sonoko Kato Vs Ryo Minami Vs Mitsuhisa Sunabe
2. Psuedo Close Match: HAYATA, Misaki Ohata & Tsukasa Fujimoto Vs Yumi Ohka, Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto
3. Irregular Rules Match: Shuji Ishikawa Vs Fairy Nihonbashi
4. Aja Kong, Hamuko Hoshi & Daichi Kazato Vs Hiroshi Fukuda, Mika Iida & Miyako Matsumoto
5. Special Retirement Exhibition Match: KAGUYA Vs Ayako Hamada
6. Thanks For Teaching And Training During The Rookie Era: Mio Shirai Vs Takashi Sasaki

The rules for the Shuji Ishikawa Vs Fairy Nihonbashi match are being kept secret until the match takes place.

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM! VOL. 2”, 10/05/2015
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi (c) & DJ Nira Vs Mitomi Masayuki & Ryu Gouma
1. Soma Takao Vs Suguru Miyatake
2. Akito & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Shunma Katsumata
3. Antonio Honda & Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie
4. Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & Saki Akai Vs Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi, MIKAMI & X
5. Daisuke Sasaki Vs Konosuke Takeshita
6. 3 Way Match: HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano Vs KUDO & Masa Takanashi Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Ryota Nakatsu

DNA rookies Kazusada Higuchi & Ryota Nakatsu are thrusted into the main event with big implications depending on the result. Higuchi and KUDO both have Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts and both have made their intentions clear to cash in later this month. Getting pinned would devastate either man’s plan.

The King Of Dark Title only changes hands if Gota Ihashi pins or submits one of his opponents. No title change if DJ Nira gets the win.

GANBARE☆JOSHI “RAISING AN ARMY ~ BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA~”, 16/05/2015
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA – Round 1: Hong Kong International Police Woman Vs Miyako Matsumato

7. Ganbare☆Wrestling Raising An Army Anniversary Special Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari Vs Yukihiro Abe & Shinichiro Tominaga
8. BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA – Final: X Vs X

Ganbare☆Joshi was able to find enough competitors to fill out the field for BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA. Joining the tournament are Aoi Ishibashi and Manami Kanda (both representing World Wrestling Association), Orirabu (COWPER amateur wrestler), Haruka Kato (fresh off of joining Enjo-gun), Akemi Papiyon (Dera Beppin Pro Wrestling) and J-Soul Pandita III IV’s Sister (*shrugs*). The remaining opening round pairings will be determined on the day of the show.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “WOW WAR TONIGHT 2015”, 16/05/2015
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. The True Value Of Leeway Generation X!?: Shinichiro Tominaga Vs GENTARO
2. Reunion Of Fate! Black Jack Of The Lion And The Rubbish Heap: Ken Ohka & Minoru Fujita Vs Shibata & Mitomi Masayuki

Shinichiro Tominaga Vs GENTARO was put together because GENTARO gave a rave review of Tominaga’s first wrestling match four years ago. Ganpuro and GENTARO want to see how far Tominaga has advanced since then.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN SAPPORO ~DRAMATIC DREAM CLOCK TOWER~”, 24/05/2015
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. KUDO & Masa Takanashi Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake
2. Falls Count Anywhere Special 4 Way Match: Kota Ibushi Vs Sanshiro Takagi Vs Konosuke Takeshita Vs Danshoku Dino
3. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi

Kota Ibushi is currently out of action with a neck injury. He is aiming to return on these final DDT shows at Sapporo Teisen Hall.

DDT “THANK YOU TEISEN! GOODBYE TEISEN! ~WITH LOVE AND GRATITUDE FROM DDT~”, 24/05/2015
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. Teisen Specialty Sea Urchin, Salmon Roe And Scallop Bowl 3 Way Match: Antonio Honda Vs Masa Takanashi Vs Saki Akai
2. Danshoku Dino Vs Daisuke Sasaki
3. Thank You Teisen! Goodbye Teisen! Special Match: HARASHIMA, Kota Ibushi & KUDO Vs Shigehiro Irie, Konosuke Takeshita & Kazusada Higuchi

I hope none of the wrestlers in Match #1 are allergic to seafood.

Sanshiro Takagi Becomes CEO Of WRESTLE-1

May 5, 2015

sanshiro-muto

Well this was unexpected. Sanshiro Takagi appeared at today’s WRESTLE-1 event in Korakuen Hall to announce he was the new CEO of the company. W-1 head honcho Keiji Muto introduced him during the show and Takagi said he will be continuing his duties as president of DDT along with his new role. Takagi compared his position to Carlos Ghosn, the current Chairman and CEO of both Renault and Nissan.

Takagi gave a behind the scenes interview to explain the sudden news. There was a management shake-up in W-1 during March with many leaving their positions in “various circumstances”. Takagi attended the 1st April W-1 show in Korakuen Hall and got to see how it was run. He was amazed by the show and the response from the audience. Takagi’s goals for the company is to cut costs, improve merchandise and ticket sales and expand into rural areas.

Takagi’s role with W-1 is simply behind the scenes. He will not be wrestling for them nor will he play a character on their shows. There is no plan for DDT and W-1 to exchange talent. His job is to get W-1 to make a profit. The immediate challenge is to improve show attendences and box office numbers. On the plus side he thinks W-1 has a lot of young talent and a good roster after the company merged with Wrestling New Classic. Takagi hopes this decision will liven up the pro wrestling world.

Just to make things clear, I’m not going to be writing anything else on WRESTLE-1 anytime soon unless DDT is heavily involved with it. W-1 is still a seperate company and Takagi is only working with them behind the scenes. Unless something crazy happens and W-1 gets absorbed into the DDT family or there is a big angle where a DDT act invades, it won’t get much attention here.

Road To Ryogoku, HARASHIMA Title Rush, Dino Vs Shinzaki

May 2, 2015

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN SENDAI ~DRAMATIC DREAM TAN~”, 04/05/2015
Miyagi Yume Messe West Wing Hall

1. MIKAMI Vs Suguru Miyatake
2. Masa Takanashi Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Hoshitango & Ryota Nakatsu
4. Tsuyoshi Kikuchi “Yakiniku Small Iron” Infomercial Match: Antonio Honda & Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Gorgeous Matsuno
5. Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao (c) Vs HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito

Smile Squash became No. 1 Contenders for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles when HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano defeated Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao at Saitama last month.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN AOMORI ~DRAMATIC DREAM TSUGARU SHAMISEN~”, 05/05/2015
Aomori Hamanasu Hall

1. Sanshiro Takagi & MIKAMI Vs Hoshitango & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
2. Masa Takanashi Vs Ryota Nakatsu
3. Akito Vs Gorgeous Matsuno
4. KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi
5. HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano Vs Antonio Honda & Hiroshi Fukuda
6. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao Vs Kota Ibushi, Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake

For those keeping track the current Right To Challenge Contracts holders are Daisuke Sasaki (he has two), DJ Nira, KUDO and Kazusada Higuchi.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN YAMAGATA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TAMAKON’NYAKU~”, 06/05/2015
Yamagata Big Wing

1. Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao Vs MIKAMI & Hiroshi Fukuda
2. Hoshitango Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. Daisuke Sasaki Vs Ryota Nakatsu
4. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Gorgeous Matsuno
5. Kota Ibushi & Suguru Miyatake Vs Antonio Honda & Konosuke Takeshita
6. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito Vs KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi

With 5 contracts in play surely one of them can beat HARASHIMA to win the KO-D Openweight Title.

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA”, 17/05/2015
Nagoya Nakamura Sports Center

1. Different Life ~Sound Of Impermanence~: Danshoku Dino Vs Jinsei Shinzaki
2. DDT Extreme Title – Last Man Standing Match: Akito (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie
3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano

We’re getting close to HARASHIMA holding a bunch of DDT championships at the same time again.

The Last Man Standing Match will be pinfall rules. The 10 count only begins after a wrestler is pinned for a three count or gives up from a submission hold.

For the past month Danshoku Dino has been on a pilgrimage to rediscover Danshoku Life. His journey has been relatively peaceful and without danger. But when Dino found out he will be facing Jinsei Shinzaki next his calm demeanour began to fade and he was left shaking in fear. This will be the first big test of his pilgrimage.

DDT “AUDIENCE 2015”, 31/05/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs KUDO

If KUDO still has his Right To Challenge Contract he will cash in at this Korakuen Hall show.

Max Bump & Golden Union Cards, Upcoming Title Matches, Goodbye Teisen

April 22, 2015

DDT “MAX BUMP 2015”, 29/04/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Kota Umeda Vs Ryota Nakatsu & Kouki Iwasaki
1. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. BOYZ Vs YaroZ Final Match: Makoto Oishi, Akito, Soma Takao & Kazuki Hirata Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & X
3. Antonio Honda & Konosuke Takeshita Vs KUDO & Masa Takanashi
4. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contention Battle Royal: Danshoku Dino Vs MIKAMI Vs Yasu Urano Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Hoshitango Vs Suguru Miyatake Vs Saki Akai Vs Hiroshi Fukuda Vs DJ Nira
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) Vs HARASHIMA

So two of the wrestlers fighting over the last Right To Challenge Contract already have contracts. That’s a little unfair. I assume Hiroshi Fukuda’s and Yasu Urano’s contracts will be safe if they are just eliminated by ring out.

UNION “GOLDEN UNION 2015”, 29/04/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yusuke Kubo Vs Ryota Nakatsu
2. Madoka (w/ Harumi Tachibana) Vs Ladybeard (w/ Ryu Gouma)

7. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Yukio Sakaguchi
8. Union MAX Title – 1,000 Rose Death Match: FUMA (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

The King Legion will be represented in full.

DDT “DNA 5”, 01/05/2015
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. Kouki Iwasaki Vs Dai Suzuki
2. Kota Umeda Vs Masaya Takahashi
3. Ryota Nakatsu Vs Atsushi Aoki
4. Suguru Miyatake Vs Yuji Hino
5. Kazusada Higuchi Vs Shunma Katsumata

Tomoya Kawamura will miss the show due to injury. Kota Umeda takes his place.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN SENDAI ~DRAMATIC DREAM TAN~”, 04/05/2015
Miyagi Yume Messe West Wing Hall

1. Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi
2. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao (c) Vs HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito

New challengers at last!

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN AOMORI ~DRAMATIC DREAM TSUGARU SHAMISEN~”, 05/05/2015
Aomori Hamanasu Hall

1. Akito Vs Gorgeous Matsuno
2. KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi
3. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao Vs Kota Ibushi, Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake

After spending months and months legitimising the DDT Extreme Title, Akito now faces his toughest test, Gorgeous Matsuno’s karaoke.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN YAMAGATA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TAMAKON’NYAKU~”, 06/05/2015
Yamagata Big Wing

1. Kota Ibushi & Suguru Miyatake Vs Antonio Honda & Konosuke Takeshita
2. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito Vs KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi

I’m assuming the KO-D Openweight Champion, if it’s either Kota Ibushi or HARASHIMA will be on all three shows on the week beginning 4th May. Maybe a Right To Challenge cash in can take place here?

DDT “FRIENDSHIP, EFFORT, VICTORY IN NAGOYA”, 17/05/2015
Nagoya Nakamura Sports Center

1. DDT Extreme Title: Akito (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie

Akito has picked Shigehiro Irie to be the next challenger for the DDT Extreme Title. It means a lot for Irie to get the title shot in Nagoya where he wrestled for several years before joining DDT.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN SAPPORO ~DRAMATIC DREAM CLOCK TOWER~”, 24/05/2015
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. KO-D Openweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) Vs Kazusada Higuchi

The DNA stand out Kazusada Higuchi has made it public that he will cash in his Right To Challenge Contract in his home prefecture of Hokkaido. All he has to do is not lose it until then. He’s on the right track because he has yet to drop a fall in his young pro wrestling career.

Saki Akai and Tomoya will wrestle on the show.

DDT “THANK YOU TEISEN! GOODBYE TEISEN! ~WITH LOVE AND GRATITUDE FROM DDT~”, 24/05/2015
Sapporo Teisen Hall

1. Thank You Teisen! Goodbye Teisen! Special Match: X Vs X

Sapporo Teisen Hall will be closing down in June. The venue has been a popular destination for indie wrestling with DDT and Big Japan among others hosting shows whenever they were in Sapporo. Apparently Big Japan will hold the final wrestling show in the building but before that DDT will say goodbye with a double show in May.

Last weekend Isami Kodaka went to K-DOJO and came back a champion. He defeated Hi69 to win the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title at Korakuen Hall. When Union runs Korakuen later this month Kodaka’s scheduled match with Yukio Sakaguchi will now be for the title.

Ken Ohka returns to Union to team with Mio Shirai one more time before her retirement from pro wrestling.

There is going to be a Muscle Sakai II but who will it be, Hiroshi Fukuda or Super Sasadango Machine…? Something isn’t right about that. Muscle Sakai will present golden baggy pants to the winner. The baggy pants is necessary to identify Muscle Sakai II.
