Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR
103 Fans

1. Special Tag Match: Shuichiro Katsumura & Chikara defeated Shibata & Mitomi Masayuki by TKO when Katsumura used the Choke Sleeper on Masayuki (9:05).
2. World’s Strongest Phantom Rumble ~Bracken Of The Living Dead~: Potato Head Sera wins when he entered with nobody left in the ring (28:30).
Order Of Elimination: Atsushi Maruyama, Choun-Shiryu, Hong Kong Domestic Police Man, Fake Hong Kong International Police Man, Hong Kong International Police Man, Hong Kong International Women’s Police Man, Mac Imanari, Lions Mask, Miss Goat, Mushuku No “Sekiko”, Mr. Jujitsu, Scheiner Man. Even
3. Special Dream Match: Viper defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Viper Bomb (9:10).
4. Ganpuro Vs Tomodachi-gun: Ken Ohka, Shota & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Minoru Fujita, Madoka & Yukihiro Abe when Tominaga pinned Abe with the JK (16:25).

The battle for Yukihiro Abe continued in the main event. Tomodachi-gun fought dirty and used referee distractions to their advantage but Ken Ohka kept trying to convince Abe to come to his senses. The distraction allowed Shinichiro Tominaga to catch Abe off guard and hit the JK for the win. Ohka and Minoru Fujita used Abe in a tug of was afterwards but Ohka let go when he realised he was hurting him. Tominaga introduced himself to Fujita as the KAIENTAI Killer because he hates KAIENTAI! He challenged Fujita to a match but Shuichiro Katsumura also demanded to be in the ring with Fujita. It was brought up that Ganbare☆Wrestling is holding two shows in one day on 23rd April. Fujita said he will fight Tominaga on the afternoon show and then Katsumura in a tag match on the evening show. Ohka nominated himself as Katsumura’s tag partner.

Yumehito Imanari wanted to start off his match with Viper on friendly terms so he tried to hug her. Viper refused to let it happen and the match quickly went outside the ring. Viper lifted up Imanari and gave him a Torture Rack by the ring entrance. In the ring she gave him a Bearhug and a Figure 4 Necklock. Imanari’s emotions switched between joy and terror. When Imanari was on the attack he tried a German Suplex but was crushed under Viper’s weight. Despite suffering defeat, Imanari was fine with what happened in the match.

The World’s Strongest Phantom Rumble was filled with oddities and other silly looking wrestlers. Many were just the same four or five wrestlers wearing different costumes including Yumehito Imanari dressed as Superman and somebody in a Spiderman costume. Even J-Soul Pandita III IV got in on the act a few times. Due to a couple of double eliminations and self eliminations the ring was empty when the final entrant Potato Head Sera entered so she was declared the winner. Sera then revealed her real identity, she is Risa Sera from Ice Ribbon.

Enjo-gun entered the ring to the Darth Vader theme song and called themselves the Darth Vader of pro wrestling. They then had an argument with Chikara over Darth Vader. Chikara & Shuichiro Katsumura won the match but brawled with Enjo-gun afterwards.

6a. Daisuke Sasaki (1) defeated Masa Takanashi (0) with the Vietnam Driver II (12:24).
6b. Daisuke Sasaki (2) defeated Masa Takanashi (0) with the Cross Facelock (18:45).
6c. Masa Takanashi (1) defeated Daisuke Sasaki (2) with a Cradle (22:09).

*V9 for Daisuke Sasaki. V2 for Masa Takanashi.
7. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Kota Umeda when Takeshita pinned Umeda with the German Suplex (14:29).

Daisuke Sasaki came out at the start of the show to announce he was defending the MAX Lucha Libre Maximo Title against Johnny Gargano. He was told that wasn’t happening and Masa Takanashi is his opponent. Takanashi came out and suggested a double title match with his SPW South East Asia Title also on the line. Sasaki accepted but only if they fought in a 60 minute Ironman match. Amon Tsurumi was worried they wouldn’t be able to fit a 60 minute match into the show but agreed to give it a 30 minute time limit after the crowd reacted positively to the stipulation. Sasaki took the first two falls with two of his finishing holds. But Takanashi scored a point when he countered the NOW OR NEVER into a Cradle. Sasaki tried to increase the lead by getting Takanashi counted out. He gave him a Brainbuster on the floor and also a Super Elbow Drop while Takanashi was sitting on a chair. Takanashi somehow found it in him to Cradle Sasaki again and even the score 2-2. The final minute had both wrestlers trying to roll up and cradle each other for a flash 3 count but the time expired with no winner determined. Both Sasaki and Takanashi had to be helped out to the back but they both yelled “Remember this!” to each other as they left.

HARASHIMA and Kazusada Higuchi had a staredown after Match #5. Tomomitsu Matsunaga stepped in between them to remind HARASHIMA he has a Right To Challenge contract.

The World’s Cutest Tag Team want a rematch with Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa. Joey Ryan wants another shot at winning the KO-D Tag Team Titles while Candice LeRae just wants to beat the shit out of Sasaki.

Konosuke Takeshita will face HUB in Yodogawa on 22nd May. The match was put together by Yukinori Matsui when during an after show drinking party last December a drunk Takeshita told Matsui he became a pro wrestler so he could meet zero (HUB’s old gimmick). Matsui was moved by the story and wanted to make it happen.

??? Fans

1. HARASHIMA & Konosuke Takeshita defeated Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao when HARASHIMA pinned Takao with the Somato (8:25).
2. Saki Akai & Makoto Oishi defeated Cherry & Antonio Honda when Akai pinned Cherry with a Diving Body Attack (9:09).

It was Hanshin Sakura Week at the racecourse so DDT held a small show near the track. Saki Akai was the special Sakura Ambassador for the event but a jealous Cherry stole her tiara. To solve the problem a match was held to determine who deserved to be the ambassador. Akai pinned Cherry in a mixed tag match but Cherry protested that she kicked out at 2. Akai reconciled with her and asked for her to team up together in Osaka later that day. Cherry accepted the offer.

5c. Hiroshi Fukuda eliminated Yasu Urano by Ring Out (8:24).
5d. Akito eliminated Hiroshi Fukuda by Ring Out (8:24).

6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sasaki (c) & Shuji Ishikawa defeated Joey Ryan & Candice LeRae when Sasaki pinned LeRae with the Vietnam Driver II (18:11).
*V1 for Daisuke Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa.
7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) defeated Ken Ohka with the Somato (16:11).
*V1 for HARASHIMA. Ken Ohka cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

Ken Ohka made several appearances throughout the show before the main event. Each time he demanded HARASHIMA to come out so they could begin their KO-D Openweight Title match. But whenever HARASHIMA appeared Ohka backtracked and instead claimed he was out to get advice from the other wrestlers in the ring. The match finally happened in the main event as originally scheduled. Ohka hit the Spear Of Flame but only got a two count. He surprised HARASHIMA with a Dragon Suplex but another Spear was avoided and HARASHIMA hit the Somato to win. The champion didn’t expect Ohka to be so driven to win and was impressed by how strong he has gotten. Ohka cried and thanked HARASHIMA before leaving.

Kazusada Higuchi was invited to the ring to set up HARASHIMA’s next title match on 24th April. Higuchi said he’s been disciplining himself ever since HARASHIMA handed him his first loss in Sapporo last year. He said he has youth on his side and that is what will make him win.

Love is over! Daisuke Sasaki had to put his feelings for Candice LeRae aside as the two duked over the KO-D Tag Team Titles along with Shuji Ishikawa and Joey Ryan. At one point the canvas was covered in candy and gave Sasaki the Ball Plex onto them. But it all fell apart for the challengers when Ishikawa gave LeRae the Fire Thunder onto the candy. Sasaki was in tears and told LeRae “I’m sorry, I love you!” before hitting a Super Kick. He then gave her the Vietnam Driver II for the victory. After the match Sasaki thought it was a good time to propose to LeRae one more time but he was turned down as usual. Sasaki wouldn’t take no for an answer and tried to leave the ring with LeRae over his shoulders. The New Gen Combo came to the rescue and then challenged the champions to a rematch. Sasaki instead demanded a match with LeRae and Johnny Gargano! Amon Tsurumi said there was no chance of it happening so the New Gen Combo are now the No. 1 Contenders.

Three more Right To Challenge contracts are now in play. A Battle Royal was held with a contract given to whoever could score an elimination by pinfall or submission. Saki Akai, Danshoku Dino and Antonio Honda won the remaining contracts. Kazuki Hirata once again failed to get one. At least he still has Aja Kong.

Team DNA just barely got out of Shinjuku FACE with the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles still in their grips. Shunma Katsumata caught Kota Umeda with a cradle but the two teams continued fighting after the bell rang. When they were kept apart Katsumata said their win wasn’t a fluke, it instead proved they can’t be stopped. Their goal as champions is to beat all of the senior wrestlers in DDT.

KENSO interfered in the opening match to again ask Sanshiro Takagi if he could join DDT permanently. Gota Ihashi got involved and got in a fight with KENSO. A missed Big Boot hitting Takagi allowed Ihashi to win the match via a roll up. KENSO ignored that and went back to asking about joining DDT. He will not give up because it his his dream to join DDT and wrestle for its amazing fans. Takagi said no. He instead brought out Taiwanese wrestler Rekka and asked him to join DDT and DNA. KENSO said he wanted to join more than Rekka but he was again told no. Takagi revealed he’s been in contact with New Taiwan Pro Wrestling and was impressed with Rekka’s hard work. DDT will hold its first show in Taiwan this November and DDT hopes Rekka will become a star in time for the show. KENSO yet again tried to get Takagi’s attention so a decision was made to have KENSO Vs Rekka in Saitama on 2nd April.

In a preview of their DDT Extreme Title match next week, Shigehiro Irie pinned Super Sasadango Machine. Sasadango didn’t even realise Irie was his next opponent until after the match. But he might have learned a few clues towards what Irie’s weaknesses are.

judgement2016-2

A lot happened at DDT’s 19th Anniversary show. I mean a lot. Three title changes, a mental Falls Count Anywhere match, bare asses, new challengers determined and a few announcements for DDT’s future too. DDT also had an entire seating setup of Sumo Hall available to them instead of having one side blocked off for the entrance stage like in previous years.

judgement2016-kodmain

In the main event HARASHIMA took the KO-D Openweight Title from Isami Kodaka to become an 8-time KO-D Champion. No amount of Isamuashi Zan kicks and Zeyyari knee strikes could keep the challenger down. Once again the Somato was the difference maker. During an intense back and forth HARASHIMA hit a short range Somato and followed up with a Swan Dive version to put Kodaka away. HARASHIMA said that little difference between him and Kodaka was needed to win and he will keep on winning. He said the scenery around him in Sumo Hall was amazing and when DDT returns in the summer he’ll be ready for whoever is thrown in front of him.

When HARASHIMA’s victory speech was over a message was shown on the video screen. On 20th March, 2017 DDT will hold its 20th Anniversary show in Saitama Super Arena! Previously DDT ran the Community Hub area of the building but this time the show takes place inside the main hall! Sanshiro Takagi said he wants to chase the dream with everyone and the show ended with the ring showered in cherry blossoms raining from the sky.

judgement2016-kodtag

The KO-D Tag Team Titles changed hands when Daisuke Sasaki & Shuji Ishikawa dethroned the New Generation Combination. The former champions went down fighting though. Ishikawa took out Tetsuya Endo with the Fire Thunder but Konosuke Takeshita never tapped out to Sasaki’s La Mistica Cross Facelock. Instead the referee had to call for the bell when Takeshita went motionless. After the match Sasaki said if the New Gen Combo can hear him then they should know the future is now in his and Ishikawa’s hands. In the post-match interview the former champions said they will go back to the drawing board but they also don’t know what their next step will be. Sasaki was quick to nominated The World’s Cutest Tag Team as the No. 1 Contenders. He still wants revenge on Candice LeRae for rejecting his marriage proposal earlier this year.

judgement2016-akebono-dino

We finally got to see what Danshoku Dino wanted to do with the collection of asses he gathered for Akebono. Dino had the turnbuckle pads removed from all corner posts and in their place was the bare asses of the DDT roster! Four corners and three asses per corner meant twelve asses surrounding the ring. However Akebono had his own trick up his sleeve. He put Dino in a Lip Lock then put on a pair of Danshoku tights. He used the power of Danshoku to deliver the Danshoku Yokozuna Impact to Dino and that was the end of that.

judgement2016-suzuki-sakaguchi

Minoru Suzuki didn’t care where he was or what company he is fighting in. It could be DDT or NOAH or some joshi promotion, as long as there was a squared circle to stand in Suzuki was ready for his match. It didn’t matter that his opponent Yukio Sakaguchi is a former KO-D Champion and somebody he never faced before. He was ready regardless. Sakaguchi had the rest of Shuten-dōji in his corner and tried to go hold for hold. His attempts to hit the Right Knee Of God were foiled but he was able to lock on the Modified Cobra Clutch. The big turning point came when Suzuki hit Sakaguchi with a Dropkick. By this point Sakaguchi barely had enough energy to fight off the Sleeper Hold and Gotch-Style Piledriver. But Suzuki was quick to catch him in another Sleeper Hold and choke him out to earn the victory. Suzuki showed good sportsmanship after the match and hugged Sakaguchi. Despite the loss Sakaguchi thinks he has grown stronger because of that match.

judgement2016-treasurehunt1

judgement2016-treasurehunt2

judgement2016-treasurehunt3

Before Kota Ibushi’s comeback match began a teaser trailer played for DDT’s next movie called Dai Kaiju Mono, directed by Minoru Kawasaki. He is behind such films as Calamari Wrestler, Executive Koala, Kabuto-O Beetle, Everyone But Japan Sinks and Crab Goalkeeper. The Treasure Hunt Match began with Sanshiro Takagi & Jun Kasai carrying a locker and barbed wire board to the ring before everybody walked out of Sumo Hall to the outdoor starting area. When the bell rang there was chaos. Takagi and KENSO went straight for each other, Kasai threw Ibushi into the crowd of people watching them, everybody went over to cardboard cutouts of sumo wrestlers so they could takes pictures then Ibushi kicked Michael Nakazawa down a flight of stairs. Nakazawa was then dragged indoors to a restroom and Ibushi gave him a Piledriver into a toilet! Back in the arena everyone fought throughout the crowd and a giant hammer was brought out. KENSO and Takagi fought in the lobby and eventually found their way down to ringside. They both got on bicycles and cycled around the ring until they crashed into each other. Meanwhile Ibushi did a Moonsault from an entrance onto Nakazawa and Gota Ihashi below. Kasai brought Ibushi over to a table and climbed the top rope. He put Ibushi through the table with the Pearl Harbour Splash but he only got a two count. Back in the ring Takagi got the better of KENSO and wanted to throw him into the locker. He opened the longer and inside was former DDT wrestler Tanomusaku Toba! The kickboxer popped out and attacked whoever got in his way. Ihashi entered the ring with boxing gloves and got immediately knocked out. Ibushi entered with gloves and faired much better. Ihashi was somehow knocked out again during this by Toba and then Ibushi. In fact Ibushi lost track of what was happening and decided to beat up his partner until Toba regained his attention. Toba knocked out Ibushi and decided to leave. KENSO hit a Diving Elbow on Ibushi but his pin was interrupted by Takagi spraying him with a fire extinguisher. Nakazawa tried to clear the ring but was stopped by Kasai and a piece of the broken table. Nakazawa was then thrown into the barbed wire board. Kasai climbed the locker and hit the Pearl Harbour Splash on KENSO but Ibushi stopped the pin. With encouragement from Ibushi, Ihashi hit a Running Body Press onto both Takagi & Kasai outside the ring. Ibushi prevented Nakazawa from doing the Ultimate Venom Arm and knocked him out with a straight right hand punch. Ibushi paid tribute to Hayabusa by doing his pose before climbing the turnbuckles and then hit the match winning Phoenix Splash.

judgement2016-takagi-ibushi

After the match Takagi and Ibushi shared an emotional moment in the ring. Takagi congratulated Ibushi for his return, called him crazy and said he can now do whatever he wants to do. He hopes the Ibushi Wrestling Institute will discover new and interesting ways to do pro wrestling. Ibushi thanked him and said he would like to come back to DDT in the future. He did some backflips for the fans and then left. But KENSO was still there and he wanted to talk to Takagi. He said he came to DDT to chase after Takagi but then discovered DDT is the best and their fans are the best. So he wants to join DDT! Takagi instantly refused and demanded his music to cut off KENSO’s mic. KENSO asked again and Takagi instantly refused again. KENSO asked one more time and this time Kasai stepped in to offer his opinion. Kasai thinks a psychopath like KENSO joining DDT wouldn’t be a bad idea. Takagi thought about it but said no and left the ring to his music while KENSO fainted.

judgement2016-ultimate

The Ultimate Royal Barbed Wire PowerPoint No Power Blast PWF Rules match began with Super Sasadango Machine doing a PowerPoint presentation on a laptop that was surrounded in barbed wire and rigged to explode in 5 minutes. Thankfully there was no explosion because Sasadango got to explain the rules of the match within the time limit. He was joined by four men wearing Machine masks and he called them the Sasadango Machine Army. During the match a wrestler can pull out one of three Ultimate Royal cards. Doing so would activate Ultimate Royale Mode and the Machine Army will attack their opponent to the music of Chocoball Mukai’s entrance theme. Oh and the cards have a drawing of The Ultimate Warrior on them. Sasadango pulled out a card while Kendo Kashin had him in an Indian Deathlock. Kashin stole the second card and used it to turn the Army against Sasadango. This time they and also Yukinori Matsui wore Kashin masks. Kashin tried to lock in the Cross Armbreaker when Sasadango pulled out the final card. Matsui switched the Kashin mask with a Machine mask and fast counted the pin to make Sasadango the new DDT Extreme Champion!

judgement2016-fujinami

There was really nothing that Antonio Honda & Hiroshi Fukuda could do to beat Tatsumi Fujinami & LEONA. Even Fukuda singing “Macho Dragon” to distract Fujinami so Honda could sneak attack him didn’t do much in the long run. Fujinami said wrestling in Sumo Hall again for the first time in years made him feel nostalgic. LEONA admitted to being nervous by teaming with his father in such an important building. LEONA was asked in an interview if he would like to wrestle in DDT again in the future and he answered “By all means, please.” Fujinami thinks it will be good experience for him to do it.

judgement2016-lilico

LiLiCo now stands triumphant over the Kawaii Connection. She escaped from Makoto Oishi’s Miracle Ecstasy and locked on a Manjigatame after Kota Umeda softened Oishi up with a Back Spin Kick. LiLiCo bragged about her success and credited it to being beautiful and eating good meat because she will forever be a carnivore. Saki Akai snuck up and gave her a School Boy to try and win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title but LiLiCo kicked out. Umeda & Mizuki Watase then blocked off Akai from any further attacks. LiLiCo demanded revenge and said she will keep her schedule open for the 24th April Korakuen Hall show.

judgement2016-3waytag

Team Drift came out on top in the 3 Way Tag match. Joey Ryan’s penis got to do the voodoo that you do so well and Candice Lerae delivered a double Ball Plex as part of a Tower Of Doom spot but she was then taken out with a Black Hole Slam from Shigehiro Irie. Akito tried his best to stop Irie but the Beast Bomber put an end to him and the match. The World’s Cutest Tag Team were still happy to wrestle in Sumo Hall and noted that although they didn’t win, they didn’t take the fall either. Keisuke Ishii felt confident about the win and revealed his goal is to now main event Sumo Hall. Irie is also disappointed that he went from headlining Sumo Hall a few years ago to wrestling in an undercard tag bout although he is happy he won with his friend Ishii.

judgement2016-rtc-rumble

The show began with the first Right To Challenge Rumble to take place inside Sumo Hall. Kazuki Hirata entered at No. 1 hoping to grab a contract before anyone else could but someone was always there do stop him. Ken Ohka easily grabbed the first contract when he headbutted Hirata off of the ladder. Tomomitsu Matsunaga grabbed the second when he spat Lotion Mist at Hirata and he fell. Hirata was able to pull down the third contract when Soma Takao Dropkicked him off the ladder but the contract slipped out of his hands and Toru Owashi picked it up to win possession. One more was left and Hirata fought his heart out to claim it, escaping Kazusada Higuchi’s Canadian Backbreaker to step up the ladder and grab his prize. The Rumble part of the match continued and Higuchi outlasted both Takao and Ryota Nakatsu to win. Higuchi now has a KO-D Title shot on 24th April in Korakuen Hall. The contract holders returned to reveal their prize. Ohka, Matsunaga and Owashi all got Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts as expected. Hirata however got something different. His prize is a date with Aja Kong! She came out wearing HIRATA GO! glasses and she told Hirata they will go out dancing together. Hirata ran away and Kong chased after him. When that was done Ohka announced he will not wait long to cash in his contract. He wants his title match to take place on 26th March in Shinjuku FACE! Matsunaga and Owashi declined to say when they will cash in their contracts.

Sumo Hall got a taste of heavy metal when FUMA’s team won the BASARA match. Although SAGAT is not a part of Kotetsu Gundan he fit in pretty well with his aggressive wrestling style. His GOREGRIND followed by Yusuke Kubo’s Goro Suplex left Daichi Kazato as an easy picking for FUMA’s HEAVY METAL ANTHEM Diving Elbow finisher.

judgement2016-dna

Mao Inoue’s return to action in the DNA match ended with him on the winning team. He wiped out Kouki Iwasaki and Rainbow Kawamura with the Alien Plancha allowing Guanchulo to set up Nobuhiro Shimatani for Shunma Katsumata’s Lightning Spiral.

judgement2016-joshi

Poison Sawada JULIE appeared in the Tokyo Joshi Pro Battle Royal with his protege Poison Miura. He tried to eliminate everyone with his snake magic but Hyper Misao stopped him and eliminated Miura. When the match came down to three girls the Fighting Comedians double-teamed Miyu Yamashita to eliminate the TOKYO Princess Of Princess Champion. Yuka Sakazaki then pinned her teammate with a Leg Clutch Backslide to score the biggest win of her career.

judgement2016-dark

DJ Nira won a match in Sumo Hall. This is the first sign of the apocalypse. Seiya Morohashi was pretty lackadaisical with a pin attempt and Nira capitalized by shifting his dead weight on Morohashi’s shoulders.

DDT announced plans of an overseas expansion for later this year. They will hold a show in Taipai, Taiwan this November at the ATT SHOW BOX. The show is being sponsored by Nitori, a brand of furniture stores.

After the dark matches were over Amon Tsurumi and Mita Sayoko announced the winners of this year’s Dramatic Awards.

isami-manjigatame

BASARA “VAJRA 5 ~EARTH SHATTERING~”, 13/03/2016
Kitazawa Town Hall
280 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Kenji Takeshima & Tatsuhiko Yoshino defeated SAGAT & CHANGO when Takeshima pinned SAGAT with the Techno Break (11:46).
2. Kikutaro defeated Ryu Gouma with a Russian Leg Sweep onto the Statute Book (9:43).
3. Tsutomu Oosugi defeated Daichi Kazato with the Tsuki No Ishii (8:15).
4. FUMA, Madoka & Yusuke Kubo defeated Ryuchi Sekine, Ryota Nakatsu & Koji Iwamoto when FUMA pinned Nakatsu with the HEAVY METAL ANTHEM (18:03).
5. Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Hi69 with the Lightning Speed (12:19).
6. Isami Kodaka defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with a Manjigatame (13:27).

In the main event Isami Kodaka countered Hiroshi Fukuda’s Perfect Plex into a Manjigatame for the submission victory. Fukuda was left slumped in the corner after the match so Kodaka went over to find out what was wrong. Fukuda said he wanted medicine for gout. Kodaka told Fukuda he will help him fight the incurable disease! The conversation continued and they figured out if 3 out of every 10 people have gout then that means 30% of the BASARA roster has gout! Kodaka shook Fukuda’s hand as a promise to cure gout and that they will also have a rematch someday.

Kodaka called out FUMA at the end of the show and he came out with the rest of Kotetsu Gundan beside him. Kodaka calledd FUMA’s new look laughable and he declared war on the unit. He said BASARA had banned hardcore wrestling until now. Starting in April BASARA will have its first Hardcore Match and it will involve Kotetsu Gundan. FUMA said he felt like he just stepped in a land mine. When Kodaka said hardcore FUMA thought he meant hardcore punk rock. He’s not punk, he’s heavy metal! FUMA said he’ll look forward to the hardcore match and he’ll keep on rocking by slamming thorns and chains into Kodaka’s soft heart!

Hi69 was graceful in defeat. He praised Takumi Tsukamoto for beating him.

1. MAX Lucha Libre Maximo Title: Daisuke Sasaki (c) defeated Gota Ihashi with the Crossface Lock (7:30).
*V8 for Daisuke Sasaki.
2. Soma Takao & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Akito & Guanchulo when Takao pinned Guanchulo with the Gin And Tonic (8:57).

6. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Gorgeous Matsuno defeated Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Kouki Iwasaki when Matsuno pinned Iwasaki with the Gorgeous Swanton☆Bomb (12:34).

Gorgeous Matsuno and his partner Junko Tashiro performed songs in the ring in between matches throughout the show. Before the main event Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Kouki Iwasaki were all backstage talking about beating up Matsuno so one of them could sing a duet with Tashiro. Elswhere Tashiro wished Matsuno luck in the main event. Matsuno said he will work hard for the sake of Fukushima. With the help of HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano, Matsuno was able to win the match for his team. After the match Matsuno spoke about the earthquake that happened in Japan five years ago. Today he was nervous because he was wrestling strong opponents but he remembered he is blessed with wonderful friends and that gave him the courage to go and win for Fukushima. He will be turning 55 years old next but that doesn’t mean he will let the younger wrestlers beat him. The show ended with him and Tashiro performing a duet together.

This was Masa Takanashi’s first appearance in DDT since winning the SPW South East Asian Title in Singapore. Yukio Sakaguchi danced with Kazuki Hirata before kicking his head off.

Antonio Honda apologised to the audience, mainly the children, for the ugly scenes on show by Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi during Match #4. Dino & Oishi had their tights pulled down and wrestled bare assed for most of the match.

Daisuke Sasaki declared that his strongest challenger has arrived and he must defend the MAX Lucha Libre Maximo Title against him. The “strongest challenger” is his old tag partner and face of the King Of Dark Title lineage, Gota Ihashi.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HOP! STEP! KITAZAWA, JUMP!!” Results

March 13, 2016

yamashita-german

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HOP! STEP! KITAZAWA, JUMP!!”, 13/03/2016
Kitazawa Town Hall
294 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yuu defeated Marika Kobashi with the Cross Armbreaker (3:27).
2. Yuka Sakazaki & Nodoka-onesan defeated Rika Tatsumi & Azusa Takigawa when Sakazaki pinned Takigawa with the Magical Girl Splash (9:36).
3. Shoko Nakajima defeated Ai Shimizu with a Rolling Leg Clutch (8:25).
4. Sukeban-gun Vs Snake World: Saki Akamiya & Hyper Misao (w/ Tetsuya Koda) defeated Poison KANNA & Poison Miura (w/ Poison Sawada JULIE) when Akiyama pinned KANNA with the Two Stage Face Kick (11:28).
5. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) defeated Nonoko with the Crash Rabbit Heat (12:05).
*V1 for Miyu Yamashita.

It was a difficult challenge to climb but Miyu Yamashita was able to beat Nonoko for the second time in their rivalry. To record it as her first TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title defence was even sweeter. The key moment in the match was Yamashita finally giving Nonoko a German Suplex, something she wasn’t able to do successfully until now. At one point Nonoko used her cleavage to catch Yamashita’s foot when she attempted the Crash Rabbit Heat penalty kick. But Yamashita countered the Boinemaker into the aforementioned German Suplex to turn the tide in her favour. She then hit the Crash Rabbit Heat twice, once to the back of the head and the second to the face and that was enough to keep Nonoko down. Afterwards Yamashita said the power she has is kind of spooky. Nonoko is both a good and bad presence for her. Bad because her first pro loss was to her and good because she brings out the best in her. Yamashita hasn’t decided who her next challenger will be but invited anyone who can be her match to step up.

The stakes were high for Sukeban-gun Vs Snake World. If Saki Akamiya & Hyper Misao lost they would be forced to join Snake World and be remodelled into whatever Poison Sawada JULIE desires. But if they win then Poison Miura & Poison KANNA would have to accept defeat and take an antidote to return back to normal. Snake World ambushed their opponents to start the match. The referee at one point was knocked out so JULIE and Mitsuya Hebigai stormed the ring and interfered. Tetsuya Koda came to the rescue but was immediately beaten down. KANNA attempted to feed Akiyama a snake potion but Koda sacrificed himself and drank it. He became KODA and was now under JULIE’s command. Misao tried to remind KODA who he really is and he became conflicted. JULIE ordered KODA to use his new snake magic to attack Sukeban-gun but he refused. KODA instead turned on his new master and attacked both him and Hebigai with the spell instead! Misao then held down Miura while Akamiya hit KANNA with the Two Stage Face Kick to win the match.

KANNA admitted she hated being under JULIE’s control and wanted to be human again so she took an antidote first. Misao was about to hand Miura the remaining antidote when she noticed KODA was now dying from the spell because he is not as strong as the wrestlers. Misao asked what should she do and someone in the audience yelled “It cannot be helped!” Akamiya grabbed the antidote and fed it to KODA, turning him back to normal. JULIE laughed maniacly. Both antidote bottles were used yet Poison Miura is still under his spell. They never broke any promises so Miura gets to stay the way she is. He told Akamiya her sweetness will be fatal and he left with Miura and Hebigai. Misao suggested that Akamiya should face Miura one on one next month to win her freedom from JULIE once and for all. Meanwhile KANNA regained her bearings and asked why she was wearing an ugly snake pattern costume.

TAVERN WRESTLING “ALCOHOL MANIA” Results

March 8, 2016

heiankyo-deathmatch

TAVERN WRESTLING “ALCOHOL MANIA”, 08/03/2016
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
330 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Jinbeizamen & Iriomote Wild Cat defeated Ryuichi Sekine & Gota Ihashi when Jinbeizamen pinned Gota Ihashi with a Diving Headbutt (9:49).
2. Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Shoko Nakajima & Yuka Sakazaki defeated Miyu Yamashita & Nodoka-oneesan when Nakajima pinned Nodoka with a Jackknife Pin (8:58).
3. Heian-kyō Death Match: Ryota Nakatsu Vs Danshoku Dino ended in a No Contest after a double foul (11:20).
4. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo defeated Hiroshi Fukuda & SAGAT when Endo pinned SAGAT with the Torture Rack Bomb (11:52).
5. Isami Kodaka Vs Akito ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).

The Tavern Wrestling crowd got their money’s worth with Isami Kodaka Vs Akito going the full 30 minutes. Akito said he was happy to fight the champion to a draw. Kodaka then announced that Akito will begin working for the Dropkick Bar this month. He joked that Mic Inoue was the only decent human working there and he left to work for the new SWANDIVE bar. Dropkick Bar is now a dangerous place without him so Akito will come in as the deputy manager.

Hiroshi Fukuda made a promise to his Happy Motel team mates that he and SAGAT would fight them fair and square. He told them about his new special technique called the Space SAGAT Torpedo. That was the cue for a surprise attack but the New Gen Combo were ready for them. Fukuda kept trying to set up the Space SAGAT Torpedo with his partner but was cut off every time. He was eventually put away with Tetsuya Endo’s Torture Rack Bomb.

Danshoku Dino came to Tavern Wrestling with a purpose. He wanted to collect Ryota Nakatsu’s ass for his upcoming match with Akebono. Nakatsu agreed to put his ass on the line but only if they fight in a Heian-kyō Death Match. The rule is if a wrestler commits a foul he must be punished by getting hit in the ass with a baseball bat. This is based on a trend in Niigata that’s gone viral where tourists pose with a statue of a baseball player and pretend they are being hit in the ass with the statue’s bat (Google ケツバット and click on images). Dino immediately fouled Nakatsu by applying a Danshoku Claw Hold and had to be punished. Nakatsu then commited a foul by refusing to let go of a Sleeper Hold when Dino grabbed the ropes. More fouls were called for Nakatsu accidentaly knocking over the referee and Dino applying the Lip Lock on the ref. When the ref recovered Dino and Nakatsu were fighting over the baseball bat. Nakatsu pulled it away and took a swing. Dino ducked and the ref got hit! The ref had enough and disqualified both wrestlers for their constant fouling.
