Matches For The Next Few Weeks

August 26, 2014

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2014”, 31/08/2014
Shinjuku FACE

1. MIKAMI & Gorgeous Matsuno Vs Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga
2. Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Antonio Honda & Hoshitango
3. Daisuke Sasaki Vs DJ Nira
4. Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata Vs KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi
5. Yasu Urano & Akito Vs Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao
6. Kota Ibushi 10th Anniversary Match: Kota Ibushi, HARASHIMA & Konosuke Takeshita Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Shuji Ishikawa & Gota Ihashi
7. KO-D Openweight Title Challenger Tournament – Final: Keisuke Ishii Vs Tetsuya Endo

Kota Ibushi finally gets to celebrate his 10 years in the business. With Taiji Ishimori injured, HARASHIMA takes his place in the match.

UNION “UNION SUMMER FESTIVAL 2014”, 31/08/2014
Shinjuku FACE

1. Mitomi Masayuki Vs Madoka
2. Shibata Vs Tomoya Kawamura
3. Maskman X, Goro J.r & SAGAT Vs Seiya Morohashi, Daichi Kazato & Ryu Gouma
4. Cherry Vs Kaho Kobayashi
5. UWA World Tag Team Titles: MEN’S Teioh & Hiroshi Fukuda (c) Vs Isami Kodaka & FUMA
6. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Ladybeard (c) Vs Mio Shirai
7. Union MAX Title: Hikaru Sato (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

Hikaru Sato is not particularly worried about his upcoming Union MAX Title defence against Shuji Ishikawa. In fact, he even forgot it is going to happen! Regardless he is confident he has the skills to beat Ishikawa. He also looks down on Ishikawa for wasting his time wrestling in beaches when he should be training for the title match.

Maskman X is the temporary name I am using for Union’s new masked wrestler. His official name will be revealed at some point before the show.

DDT “OSAKA BAY BLUES SPECIAL 2014”, 13/09/2014
Osaka Bodymaker Colosseum #2

1. DDT Extreme Title: Danshoku Dino (c) Vs Zeus

Former Osaka Pro wrestler Zeus enters DDT to challenge for the DDT Extreme Title. The champion Danshoku Dino must be thrilled. Not being sarcastic.

DDT “KEISUKE ISHII DEBUT MEMORIAL”, 23/09/2014
Tokorozawa Civic Gymnasium Sub-Arena

1. Kenny Omega Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
2. Makoto Oishi Vs Soma Takao
3. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi

Will Keisuke Ishii be KO-D Openweight Champion by the time this show takes place?

UNION, OZ ACADEMY, WAVE, ICE RIBBON “M.I.O”, 11/09/2014
Shinjuku FACE

1. Glistening Mixed Match: Yumi Ohka & Mitomi Masayuki Vs Hamuko Hoshi & Hiroshi Fukuda
2. Heavy Match: Shuji Ishikawa & SAGAT Vs Dynamite Kasai & Aja Kong
3. Barbed Wire Board Death Match: Mio Shirai, Maki Narumiya & Isami Kodaka Vs Mayumi Ozaki, Shu Shibuya & X

Not only is the main event death match going to involved Barbed Wire Boards but every wrestler involved in the match will bring their own personal weapon with them too. I know Mio Shirai has been using a Signal Wand in her Pro Wrestling WAVE matches lately but that seems a bit tame for a match like this.

DDT “ROAD TO SAITAMA SUPER ARENA 6”, 24/08/2014
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

1. KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi Vs Michael Nakazawa, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Gota Ihashi
2. 3 Way Match: Antonio Honda Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs MIKAMI
3. HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano Vs Toru Owashi & DJ Nira

5. KO-D Openweight Title Challenger Tournament – Semi Final: Tetsuya Endo Vs Konosuke Takeshita
6. KO-D Openweight Title Challenger Tournament – Semi Final: Keisuke Ishii Vs Akito
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega (c) Vs Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao

With “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2014” in the bag it is time to look ahead for DDT’s future. A mini tournament for DDT’s young wrestlers is going ahead to determine the No. 1 Contender for the KO-D Openweight Title. The semi finals take place in Kasukabe Hall when Tetsuya Endo faces Konosuke Takeshita and Keisuke Ishii faces Akito. The two winners will take part in the final on 31st August in Shinjuku. The KO-D Title match will happen in Osaka on 13th September.

Ishii counts himself as the favourite. He is unbeaten against both Akito and Endo in singles matches. He has never faced Takeshita one on one. Regardless, Ishii is so confident he will win that he wonders why there is even a tournament to determine the next title challenger when it should be him. Takeshita felt he learned a lot from wrestling Hiroshi Tanahashi. He hopes to win the tournament so he can have the title match with HARASHIMA in front of his home town Osaka crowd.

HARASHIMA’s comments coming out of the Sumo Hall main event are about what you’d expect to hear from him. His opponents were strong, he was glad he was able to win and he wants to be the defending champion again at next year’s show.

For now the Golden☆Lovers’ main priority is to keep the KO-D Tag Team Titles around their waists. Kenny Omega said he has no choice but to win at any cost to keep his title with Kota Ibushi. They defend the belts against two thirds of the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions. The Drift duo of Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao challenged the Golden☆Lovers and it was accepted. With Ishii in the tournament and this title match happening soon, Drift are aiming to add the KO-D Openweight and Tag Team Titles to their collection. Kenny says he and Ibushi are an S-Rank team. Irie’s response is he and Takao are an A-Ranked team, then he got confused and corrected himself, calling him and Takao a T-Ranked team instead.

UNION “UNION SUMMER FESTIVAL 2014”, 31/08/2014
Shinjuku FACE

1. UWA World Tag Team Titles: MEN’S Teioh & Hiroshi Fukuda (c) Vs Isami Kodaka & FUMA
2. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Ladybeard (c) Vs Mio Shirai
3. Union MAX Title: Hikaru Sato (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

Former DDT wrestler Daichi Kakimoto is now with Union. Kakimoto wrestled in DDT from 2003 to 2008 when a cervical spine injury forced him into retirement. He returned to wrestling in 2012 and made sporadic appearances since then. He now wants to wrestle on a regular basis and signed with Union. He chose Union for two reasons. The first is Kakimoto being inspired by how much Shuji Ishikawa and Isami Kodaka have grown the last couple of years. The other reason is Union’s schedule is easy enough for his body and non-wrestling career to handle. Kakimoto also wants to re-debut under as a masked wrestler and will use a new ring name to represent how he is starting again from scratch. He hopes fans will not reveal his identity or update his Wikipedia page when he appears under the mask.

Union, Oz Academy, Pro Wrestling WAVE and Ice Ribbon are getting together for a joint event next month.

The main event will be a 6-Person Tag Team Death Match. Shirai will be participating in her first ever Death Match along with Ice Ribbon’s Maki Narumiya. Union’s Isami Kodaka and Oz’s Mayumi Ozaki plus two more wrestlers. The type of Death Match and the teams will be decided on a later date.

When asked why she would compete in a Death Match, Shirai said she’s never done one in the 7 years she’s been wrestling. She’s done unusual matches that involved using weapons and wrestling in costumes but never a Death Match. Suggested matches for the rest of the card are Aja Kong Vs Jaiko Ishikawa, Seiya Morohashi Vs Police, Tsukushi Vs Shuji Ishikawa (!?!?) and Sumire Natsu Vs Tsukushi.

Complete Card For “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2014”

July 22, 2014

kondo-ibushi

DDT “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2014 ~MAYBE SUMMER WILL CHANGE MY LIFE~”, 17/08/2014
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

0. Dark Match – DDT Vs Union: Daichi Kazato, SAGAT, Mitomi Masayuki & Tomoya Kawamura Vs Hoshitango, Rion Mizuki, Gota Ihashi & Shunma Katsumata
0. Dark Match – Tokyo Women’s Wrestling Offer Match: Miyu Yamashita, Chikage Kiba, KANNA, Shoko Nakajima, Yuka Sakazaki, Erin
1. Yasu Urano & Akito Vs MIKAMI & GENTARO
2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Battle Royal: Akihiro (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Tetsuya Endo Vs Gorgeous Matsuno Vs Toru Owashi Vs DJ Nira Vs Shiro Koshinaka Vs Nonoko Vs Ai Shimizu Vs FUMA Vs Kizaemon Saiga
3. Saki Akai, Makoto Oishi & Ladybeard Vs Aja Kong, Antonio Honda & Hiroshi Fukuda
4. Street Wrestling Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Jun Kasai Vs Minoru Suzuki & Michael Nakazawa
5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao
6. DDT Extreme Title: Danshoku Dino (c) Vs Muscle Sakai
7. Special Single Match: Kota Ibushi Vs Shuji Kondo
8. Special Single Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Hiroshi Tanahashi
9. KO-D Openweight Title – 3 Way Match: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Kenny Omega Vs Isami Kodaka

The card for DDT’s biggest show of the year is now filled up. Due to the double KO on Sunday, HARASHIMA is still the KO-D Openweight Champion yet Kenny Omega still has a claim for a title shot. So Kenny has been added to the HARASHIMA Vs Isami Kodaka main event at Sumo Hall. I think the 3 Way match is sudden death, so HARASHIMA could lose the title without getting pinned.

Kota Ibushi is slowly recovering from the concussion he suffered earlier this month. He has begun to train again in preparation for his return at Sumo Hall. Ibushi was allowed to choose who his opponent will be. He wanted it to be someone he learned a lot from. As a joke he picked sumo wrestler Hakuho Sho, who is currently undefeated in the Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament. Then he picked Sanshiro Azuma from a manga called Fighting Detectives. Ibushi finally gave a serious answer and decided Shuji Kondo from WRESTLE-1 will be his opponent. Ibushi and Kondo had matches together in dragondoor and El Dorado during 2005 and 2006. They last fought each other at the 2011 “ALL TOGETHER” show. Ibushi believes he developed his style because of his matches with Kondo.

LiLiCo and the Up Up Girls are some of the musical guests appearing on the show.

Ibushi Pulled From G1, Beer Garden Cards

July 18, 2014

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2014”, 20/07/2014
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. MIKAMI & Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Yasu Urano & GENTARO
2. Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi, Super Sasadango & DJ Nira Vs Michael Nakazawa, Kazuki Hirata, Hoshitango & Shunma Katsumata
3. Special Single Match: Isami Kodaka Vs Akito
4. Special 6-Man Tag Team Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Taiji Ishimori & Toru Owashi Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Daisuke Sasaki & Gota Ihashi
5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles – 3 Way Match: Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi Vs Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao
6. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Kenny Omega
*Kenny Omega will cash in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

Unfortunately Kota Ibushi has not recovered from his concussion and has to pull out of more shows. Even worse, Ibushi will no longer be competing in this year’s G1 Climax. The planned 10th Anniversary Match for Sunday has been postponed and several matches on the card have been changed.

GENTARO is a last minute addition to the card, returning to DDT for the first time since August 2012.

DDT “BEER GARDEN WRESTLING – SHUTEN-DOJI DAY”, 28/07/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Summer Feature New Ghost Story Numabukuro Death Match: Danshoku Dino Vs Toru Owashi Vs Hoshitango Vs Yoshiko
2. Yukio Sakaguchi & KUDO Vs Isami Kodaka & FUMA

DDT “BEER GARDEN WRESTLING – KENNY OMEGA, DAISUKE SASAKI AND GOTA IHASHI DAY”, 29/07/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Dramatic Gloves Boxing Match: Gota Ihashi Vs X
2. 5 Way Ladder Match: Daisuke Sasaki Vs Masa Takanashi Vs Antonio Honda Vs SAGAT Vs Goro Jr.

DDT “BEER GARDEN WRESTLING – HAPPY MOTEL DAY”, 30/07/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Superman Comes To Japan!?: USA Offer Match: X Vs X
2. Entetsu Challenge: Tetsuya Endo Vs Kenny Omega

DDT “BEER GARDEN WRESTLING – TEAM DRIFT DAY”, 31/07/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Era Of Lariat Pro Is Over, Next Comes Knee Pro!: Keisuke Ishii Vs Danshoku Dino Vs Antonio Honda Vs Makoto Oishi Vs Jumbo Kiku Vs Riho
2. Soma Takao & Atsushi Aoki Vs Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie

DDT “BEER GARDEN WRESTLING – SMILE SQUASH DAY”, 01/08/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Danshoku Dino Vs Shunma Katsumata
2. 3 Way Match: HARASHIMA Vs Yasu Urano Vs Akito

My favourite time of the year on the DDT calender is Beer Garden week. This is where DDT’s roster are at their most creative because they get to make the matches. So far we have ghost stories, a 5 Way Ladder match, some boxing, the return of Ultimate Superstars Action and a Smile Squash Triple Threat to look forward to. Unfortunately there is no more Lariat Pro Wrestling but in it’s place we get Knee Pro Wrestling. So expect the Boma Ye and Busaiku Knee Kick to be used a lot. There are two shows that have yet to have any matches booked for it. They are the first and final days of the series.

This Site Has Lasted Longer Than W*ING!

July 17, 2014

Today is the 4th year of this website’s existence. Thanks to everyone who follows along no matter if you were here from the beginning or just found it the one time it was linked on Cracked. I’m still having fun trying to figure out and explain what goes on in DDT and its family of little offshoots so let’s continue. Anyway I still have a goal to achieve and it is to make this site an Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion!

UNION “SEE YOU AT KITASENJU”, 19/07/2014
Kitasenju Theatre 1010

1. MEN’S Teioh Vs Mitomi Masayuki
2. Seiya Morohashi, Tomoya Kawamura & Ryu Gouma Vs SAGAT, Menso~re Oyaji & Goro Jr.
3. Cherry & Mio Shirai Vs Ladybeard & Kaori Yoneyama
4. Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Choun-Shiryu
5. Isami Kodaka Vs FUMA
6. Hikaru Sato Vs Daichi Kazato
7. Shuji Ishikawa Vs Shibata

Shibata has called himself the John Cena of Pancrase. I honestly don’t know how to react to that.
