Full Card For “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2013”, King of DDT 2013, Kanazawa Matches

June 17, 2013

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2013”, 23/06/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Hiroshi Fukuda & Tetsuya Endo Vs Guanchulo & Aggressor
1. Sanshiro Takagi & Kazuki Hirata Vs Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi
2. HARASHIMA, KUDO & Yasu Urano Vs Yuko Miyamoto, Isami Kodaka & FUMA
3. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Battle Royal: Yoshihiko (c) Vs MIKAMI Vs Masa Takanashi Vs Michael Nakazawa Vs Gorgeous Matsuno Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Takao Soma Vs DJ Nira Vs Toru Owashi
4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Gota Ihashi (c) Vs Antonio Honda, Hoshitango & Yuji Hino
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Hikaru Sato & Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs Akito & Konosuke Takeshita
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

Current Right To Challenge Contract Holders: Keisuke Ishii (cashes in at this show), Daisuke Sasaki and Yuji Okabayashi.

The Monster Army are launching the counter attack to reclaim the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. This time they have added heavy artillery in the form of Hoshitango taking Daisuke Sasaki’s place. Could Sasaki’s absence on the card be a hint that he will cash in his contract?

The 2013 KING OF DDT tournament will take place on three shows. Round 1 will be held at Shinjuku FACE on 28th June, Round 2 will be in Nagoya Telepia Hall on 6th July and the remaining rounds will be held in Umeda Nasci Hall the day after. The winner of the tournament will get a main event KO-D Title shot at DDT’s biggest event of the yeat, the 18/8 Sumo Hall show. The entries this year are Sanshiro Takagi, Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega, HARASHIMA, KUDO, MIKAMI, Danshoku Dino, Yasu Urano, Makoto Oishi, Masa Takanashi, Takao Soma, Akito, Konosuke Takeshita, Antonio Honda, Hikaru Sato and Yukio Sakaguchi. The first round draw will be held straight after the 23/6 Korakuen show.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN KANAZAWA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TORIYASAI~”, 30/06/2013

1. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs MIKAMI & Michael Nakazawa
2. Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Kazuki Hirata

BJW “NIGIWAI THEATRE ~ends of the rainy season~”, 15/06/2013
Yokohama Nigiwaiza

Yuji Okabayashi defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Argentine Backbreaker (8:33).
*Yuji Okabayashi wins Kazuki Hirata’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

One of the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts has been taken away from DDT again. This time it’s in the hands of its strongest wrestler yet, Yuji Okabayashi from Big Japan. Okabayashi defeated DDT’s contract holder Kazuki Hirata at a Big Japan show held today in Yokohama. Kazuki was overwhelmed by the power of his opponent and the results was no surprise. Yuji wasn’t quite sure what the rules of the contract was, but when it was explained to him he said he would like to challenge Shigehiro Irie for the KO-D Openweight Title someday.

Hikaru Sato is considering giving a KO-D Tag Team Title shot to some younger wrestlers. He and Yukio Sakaguchi will face Akito & Tetsuya Endo and they will judge if their opponents are good enough to fight for the championship. Konosuke Takeshita was also brought up but Sato thinks he is not entitled to get an opportunity.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN KOKURA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TORI KASHIWA RICE~”, 14/06/2013
Fukuoka Kokura Gymnasium

1. DDT x Kitakyushu Local Wrestler Scramble Match: Antonio Honda & Isamu Taniguchi Vs Akito & Kubo Kibo

One half of the previous Tag Team Champions gets a chance to reclaim the belt. Yasu Urano and HARASHIMA lost the belts to Sato & Sakaguchi in May. Now Urano is teaming with KUDO to get revenge.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN FUKUOKA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TORIMON~”, 16/06/2013
Fukuoka Make Utopia

1. Real Lucha Offer Match: X Vs X
2. Hakata Specialty 3 Way Super Tag Battle: Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma Vs Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega Vs Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi
3. Rings or Retainer Supplanting His Lord! Good Battle Plentifully Heisei!: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Batten Tamagawa

5. Hikaru Sato & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki
6. HARASHIMA, KUDO & Yasu Urano Vs Yuto Aijima, Azul Dragon & Michael Nakazawa
7. Keisuke Ishii Vs Akito

As explained below, the main event determines who will face Shigehiro Irie for the KO-D Openweight Title at Korakuen Hall later this month.

DDT “WHAT ARE YOU DOING 2013”, 23/06/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Battle Royal: Yoshihiko (c) Vs X
2. KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Keisuke Ishii

The main event will change if Keisuke Ishii loses his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract at any show before then. The contract is the only claim Ishii has to a title shot and he has confirmed he will cash it in at Korakuen Hall. Between now and then he risks losing the contract to either a member of Ura-Shima-Kudo, a member of the Golden Rendezvous or Akito. If Akito beats Ishii, he will also cash it in at Korakuen Hall and take on Irie for the KO-D Title.

Isami Kodaka and Yuko Miyamoto are scheduled to wrestle on the show, most likely teaming together.

Antonio Honda can spoil his plan and possibly take the title shot at Korakuen Hall for himself if he beats Ishii. Meanwhile one of the other contracts is currently held by Sayaka Obihiro from Gatoh Move Pro Wrestling. She and her mentor Emi Sakura are holding the contract hostage and dared DDT to either win it or buy it back. Tetsuya Endo, who regularly wrestles in Gatoh Move challenged Obihiro but failed to bring the contract back. Now he teams with the two women to defend the contract from the Samurai Sentai Samurai Rangers.
