Shirai And Ohka To Team Again, Endo’s King Of Dark Replacement, Super Cinderella

April 14, 2015

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “RAISING AN ARMY ANNIVERSARY”, 18/04/2015
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Special Mixed Tag Match: Yukihiro Abe & Manami Kanda Vs Shinichiro Tominaga & Haruka Kato
2. Berserk Mammal Vs Foreign Mystery: J-Soul Pandita III IV Vs Mr. AKIBA
3. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs K-DOJO: Tiger Bedscene Vs Yoshihiro Horaguchi
4. You Can Bet The Name Of Yoshino: Osamu Namiguchi Vs Kotaro Yoshino
5. Special Single Match: GENTARO Vs Chikara
6. Special Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari Vs Shibata & Mitomi Masayuki (w/ Tomoya Kawamura)

During a promotional event for the show, Mio Shirai appeared and asked Ken Ohka to team up with her on the 29th April Union show at Korakuen Hall. They’ve had their differences in the past. When Shirai began wrestling for Union Ohka became smitten with her. He stalked her but Shirai caught him every time and choked him out with the Figure Four Neck Lock. They later became a tsundere tag team, sticking together until Ohka left Union to form Ganbare☆Wrestling. Ohka at first refused Shirai’s request. After losing the war against Union he feels that he would be lowering himself by returning there. But when Shirai tearfully asked him to reconsider, Ohka changed his mind and agreed to join her on 29th April.

Tomoya Kawamura pulled out of the main event. Taking his place is his Union colleague Mitomi Masayuki returning to Ganbare☆Wrestling for the first time since his suspension.

Mr. AKIBA is an American otaku who approached Ohka for an opportunity to become a wrestler. Once he went away Ohka decided AKIBA will fight the monster J-Soul Pandita III IV.

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM! VOL. 1”, 19/04/2015
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi (c) Vs Yasu Urano
1. Kazusada Higuchi Vs Kouki Iwasaki
2. 4 Way Match: MIKAMI Vs Danshoku Dino Vs Antonio Honda Vs Saki Akai
3. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Suguru Miyatake
4. HARASHIMA & X Vs Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao
5. Kazuki Hirata Tokyo GO! Numbers Game – Round 3: Kazuki Hirata Vs KUDO
6. BOYZ-gun Vs YaroZ-gun: Kota Ibushi, Makoto Oishi, Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Shigehiro Irie & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
7. DDT Extreme Title – Iron Man Match: Akito (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki

30 minutes isn’t enough fo Akito and Daisuke Sasaki. A 60 minute Iron Man Match will determine who deserves to be the DDT Extreme Champion.

Tetsuya Endo’s foot injury has not healed so he will not be able to compete on the show. A replacement was needed for the King Of Dark Title match. Amon Tsurumi picked Yasu Urano to take Endo’s place and “challenge” for the title. Tsurumi explained that during the Right To Challenge Rumble Urano secretly swapped his prize with Endo’s when the referee wasn’t looking. So when it was time to reveal who got what, Urano got the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract while Endo got the King Of Dark Title shot booby prize. Amon (and the audience) knew this at the time but he kept silent on the matter until now. Amon also announced that the winner of the match has to work double duty and will team with HARASHIMA later in the show.

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

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

So far only two women have signed up for Ganbare☆Wrestling’s joshi offshoot. If there are no more additions by the time the show takes place then the BEST OF THE SUPER CINDERELLA tournament will only be one match long. Mio Shirai flatly turned down an invitation to compete.

Ganpuro Gives Joshi A Chance

April 6, 2015

ganjo

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “RAISING AN ARMY ANNIVERSARY”, 18/04/2015
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR

1. Special Mixed Tag Match: Yukihiro Abe & Manami Kanda Vs Shinichiro Tominaga & Haruka Kato
2. Ganbare☆Wrestling Vs K-DOJO: Tiger Bedscene Vs Yoshihiro Horaguchi
3. You Can Bet The Name Of Yoshino: Osamu Namiguchi Vs Kotaro Yoshino
4. Special Single Match: GENTARO Vs Chikara
5. Special Tag Match: Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari Vs Shibata & Tomoya Kawamura

Ganbare☆Wrestling is currently in the process of creating a spinoff brand called Ganbare☆Joshi or GanJo for short. Ken Ohka was inspired by Stardom getting the cover story in a recent issue of Weekly Pro-Wrestling. Joshi is becoming major league and Ganpuro wants to be major league, so it’s only natural for them to give it a shot. GanJo’s first show will take place on 16th May before Ganpuro’s show that day. It will host the Best Of The Super Cinderella tournament. Ohka is currently looking for women wrestlers to participate.

Soma Injured, Max Bump Matches, Golden Roses For Union

March 31, 2015

DDT “FURIMUKEBA YOKOHAMA 2015 SPRING”, 04/04/2015
Yokohama Radiant Hall

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi (c) Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
1. Sanshiro Takagi & MIKAMI Vs Danshoku Dino & DJ Nira
2. Toru Owashi & Makoto Oishi Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Shunma Katsumata
3. Konosuke Takeshita Vs Kota Umeda
4. Kazuki Hirata Tokyo GO Numbers Game – 2nd Round: Kazuki Hirata Vs Yukio Sakaguchi
5. HARASHIMA, Akito & Yasu Urano Vs Kota Ibushi, Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake
6. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Daisuke Sekimoto, Yuji Okabayashi & Kazuki Hashimoto

There were two injuries coming out of “JUDGEMENT 2015” this past weekend. Soma Takao suffered an ankle injury and is unable to wrestle until 10th April at the earliest. Kota Ibushi sprained his middle and ring finger on his right hand but won’t miss any shows.

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM! VOL. 1”, 19/04/2015
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo

Tetsuya Endo cashes in his boobie prize from the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Royal Rumble. I bet he’ll be glad to get rid of it.

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

1. Anytime, Anywhere Contention Battle Royal: X Vs X
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) Vs HARASHIMA

Two months after “SAITAMA SUPER DDT 2015” we get the rematch of the main event, unless somebody successfully cashes in their Ring To Challenge Contract. I mean it’s not like anybody in DDT watched Wrestlemania on Sunday and a lightbulb suddenly flashed over their head during the big main event angle… Anyway, the current contract holders are Yasu Urano, Hiroshi Fukuda, Kazusada Higuchi and Antonio Honda. Like last year wrestlers can lose the contract if they are pinned or submitted during any match in Japan.

There was one contract left unclaimed in the Right To Challenge Rumble. Another Battle Royal will decide who gets it. What it is for exactly won’t be known until the match is over.

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

1. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title – 3 Way Match: Cherry (c) Vs Aoi Ishibashi Vs Hibiscus Mii
2. Isami Kodaka Vs Yukio Sakaguchi
3. Union MAX Title – 1,000 Rose Death Match: FUMA (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

FUMA’s ego has grown as quickly as his rise to the top in Union. So much so that he is willing to fight Shuji Ishikawa in a 1,000 Rose Death Match, a stipulation that has not been used in a year.

Hibiscus Mii (formerly Apple Miyuki) answered the call when Union went searching for someone to be in the Fly To Everywhere Title 3 Way Match.

Ibushi Prepares For Yoshihiko & AJ Styles, Mitomi Masayuki Comeback

March 18, 2015

Kota Ibushi’s run in New Japan just keeps getting better. After winning the New Japan Cup last weekend he now has an IWGP Title against AJ Styles match at Sumo Hall on 5th April. If Ibushi beats Yoshihiko this Saturday then the New Japan main event is guaranteed to be IWGP Champion Vs KO-D Champion, a first for New Japan and DDT’s relationship.

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM SPECIAL! 2015 ~TELETAMA BROADCASTING 1ST ANNIVERSARY~”, 21/03/2015
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

0. Dark Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Ryota Nakatsu & Kota Umeda
1. Yasu Urano & Akito Vs Tomoya & Shunma Katsumata
2. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake
3. Teletama Presents Infomercial Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & MIKAMI Vs Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & DJ Nira

6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao (c) Vs KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) Vs Yoshihiko

So DDT has put up a fact sheet and list of career highlights for Yoshihiko before his KO-D Title match with Ibushi. Apparently Kurt Angle gave plenty of praise when he saw footage of Yoshihiko attacking Ibushi and laying down the challenge. When Ric Flair watched the same clip he just said “This is wrestling!” Also of note is Yoshihiko feels strongly about getting the 5th April IWGP Title shot if he beats Ibushi.

UNION “MARCH OF UNION 2015”, 28/03/2015

1. Yuuya Kubo Vs Yuki Sato

6. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Cherry Vs Shu Shibutani
7. FUMA, Kazushi Miyamoto & SAGAT (w/ MEN’S Teioh) Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Masato Shibata & Daichi Kazato

Mitomi Masayuki is back after going through a bad period last December. He was suspended from Union and DDT for bad behaviour on Twitter and then got himself injured while wrestling on a micro indie show a week later. He will be teaming with Daisuke Kanehira from Pro Wrestling HEAT-UP for his comeback.

3. Nonoko & Akane Miura Vs Chikage Kiba & Yuka Sakazaki
4. Miyu Yamashita & KANNA Vs Saki Akai & Ai Shimizu

This will be the first Tokyo Joshi show without any live idol performances inbetween matches. With their roster getting bigger they can now have more matches to fill up the card.

UNION “MARCH OF UNION 2015”, 28/03/2015
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Yuuya Kubo Vs Yuki Sato
2. Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Madoka (w/ Harumi Tachibana)
3. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Cherry Vs Shu Shibutani
4. FUMA, Kazushi Miyamoto & SAGAT (w/ MEN’S Teioh) Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Masato Shibata & Daichi Kazato

Shuji Ishikawa wants his Union MAX Title bout against FUMA on 29th April to be a No DQ match. FUMA won’t agree to it but Ishikawa hopes to change his mind in Yokohama.

Shu Shibutani is hoping to win the Fly To Everywhere Title just over a month before she retires from pro wrestling. The new champion Cherry wants to protect her belt at any cost and does not want to lose it to somebody who is on the verge of retirement.

Hiroshi Fukuda has bulked up and gained some weight while he was recovering from his injury. He wants to put his body to the test with a match against Madoka but Naomi Susan is convinced Fukuda just wants to get near Harumi Tachibana.

Right To Challenge Returns

March 9, 2015

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM SPECIAL! 2015 ~TELETAMA BROADCASTING 1ST ANNIVERSARY~”, 21/03/2015
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

0. Dark Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Ryota Nakatsu & Kota Umeda
1. Yasu Urano & Akito Vs Tomoya & Shunma Katsumata
2. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake
3. Teletama Presents Infomercial Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & MIKAMI Vs Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & DJ Nira
4. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Do It Or Die! – Special Single Match: Aja Kong (c) Vs Saki Akai

6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao (c) Vs KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) Vs Yoshihiko

Saki Akai gets one more good shot at regaining the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Aja Kong. That is if Kong is still the champion.

The winning team in the dark match will qualify for the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Battle Royal on 29/3.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2015”, 29/03/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi Vs Gorgeous Matsuno
1. Toru Owashi & Hoshitango Vs MIKAMI & Shunma Katsumata
2. Sanshiro Takagi 20th Anniversary Falls Count Anywhere Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Jun Kasai Vs Kota Ibushi & Suguru Miyatake
3. Next KO-D Tag Team Titles Challenger Final: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi
4. Next KO-D Openweight Title Challenger And Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Battle Royal: HARASHIMA Vs Yasu Urano Vs Makoto Oishi Vs Masa Takanashi Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Soma Takao Vs Antonio Honda Vs Konosuke Takeshita Vs Tetsuya Endo Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs DJ Nira Vs Hiroshi Fukuda Vs X Vs X
5. DDT Extreme Title: X (c) Vs Akito
*X is Shiori Asahi.
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi (c) Vs Danshoku Dino & Super Sasadango Machine

The time has come for my favourite DDT match to take place again. The Right To Challenge Battle Royal is a combined Royal Rumble and Ladder Match. The winner of the Rumble portion becomes the No. 1 Contender for the KO-D Openweight Title. However there are usually extra prizes hanging over the ring which is where the ladder comes in. In recent years the prize has been Money In The Bank style contracts that allow the holder to get a title match at any show they want. However there are also extra stipulations used to keep the contract holder on his toes. For example, last year the contract could change hands like a title if the holder was directly defeated in any match he wrestled in. The rules change or get altered every year so we won’t know for sure what the prizes and conditions are until right after the match.

The Drift Vs Shuten-dōji feud has extended itself into the regular tag team division. The two sides will collide again with a future KO-D Tag Team Title shot on the line.

Sanshiro Takagi will celebrate 20 years in wrestling with a good old fashion Falls Count Anywhere Match.

I think this is the first time anywhere a champion has been labelled as X.

HARD HIT “~NEVER GIVE UP~”, 04/04/2015
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Kenta Hattori Vs Kouki Iwasaki
2. Nobuhiro Tsurumaki Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga
3. Takafumi Ito Vs Hiroshi Kobayashi
4. Shuichiro Katsumura Vs Masaharu Tsuchihashi

Hard Hit returns with a Dradition Vs Pancrase main event.

KEI Yamamiya is from the GRABAKA gym and is a former King Of Pancrase Light Heavyweight Champion. Nobuhiro Tsurumaki is representing Super FMW.

Yukio Sakaguchi will also be in action.
