Isami Kodaka is the winner of the 2015 Dramatic General Election! His prize is one million yen and a KO-D Openweight Title shot in Osaka on 28th November. He called the result a great comeback after Union’s closure. He and several other Union wrestlers announced the formation of Pro Wrestling BASARA during the show.

Kota Ibushi finished in 2nd place and was given 300,000 yen and a KO-D Title shot on 25th October for his troubles. Ibushi thought it was a shame because he won last year’s election but he was still happy to get a lot of votes.

#OhkaEmpire will get to book the 17th November Korakuen Hall show for winning the Unit Election. Super Sasadango Machine put together a Powerpoint presentation thanking the fans for voting for them. He also announced the production of DDT’s next documentary film that will follow DDT’s story over the course of a year. Sasadango then wondered if the show could be promoted under the Muscle brand. This poses a problem because a Muscle show needs Muscle Sakai and the brand’s next show is supposed to take place in 2030 per Sakai’s request. Ken Ohka also had a plan that involved HARASHIMA. Ohka wants to book Hiroshi Tanahashi! He told HARASHIMA that he was mortified by Tanahashi’s attitude during “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2015” and he wants to team with HARASHIMA to fight Tanahashi! HARASHIMA was moved to tears as he thanked Ohka for the offer.

Everyone ranked from #1 to #22 will wrestle on the main card for the 25th October Korakuen show. Those ranked #23 to #26 will be competing in the dark match.

Booing 2015 is forced to disband because they finished in last place.

*V1 for Isami Kodaka.

After ten years of indie sleaze, Union Pro Wrestling has today closed its doors. The sub-brand was DDT’s bratty little brother consisting of hardcore matches and crazy stipulations amongst its small roster over the years. But with Naomi Susan leaving her role as the brand’s manager it was agreed that today was time for Union to end.

ishikawa-kodaka-max

The main event was between two wrestlers who have been with Union Pro since it begun back in 2005. Isami Kodaka defended the Union MAX Title against Shuji Ishikawa to determine who was the better ace of the promotion. Both believed that this was not the end but the beginning for every Union wrestler. Union’s founder Poison Sawada was in attendance for the match and he handed a bouquet of flowers to both champion and challenger. Isami kicked out of Shuji’s Splash Mountain Bomb but Shuji later kicked out of Isami’s Diving Double Knee Drop. Shuji hit a barrage of Knee Lifts and also a Rainmaker Headbutt. He attempted a Cross Arm Splash Mountain but Isami escaped and hit Sliding Lariats and Sliding Kicks to take down Shuji. Another Splash Mountain was countered into a Hurricanrana for a nearfall. The two traded Elbow Strikes and Isami got the better of the exchange. He hit another Diving Double Knee Drop but Shuji kicked out at one! Shuji blocked the Isamuashi Zan once but Isami wore him down and tried the finisher again, this time nailing Shuji in the jaw. That was enough to put him away and end Union with Isami as the champion.

union-goodbye

Isami was handed the title belt by Sawada and the Union roster filled up the ring. He called Shuji his older brother and said Sawada was like their father. Sawada congratulated both of them for becoming great wrestlers. He said there was no shame in Union ending on the match they just had. Ishikawa said he will now become a freelancer but he is disappointed he couldn’t win the MAX Title. He said his sweetness was his weakness today and he will work on becoming stronger when he wrestles in other companies. Everybody thanked the fans for attending the show and asked to continue supporting them wherever they go. Susan said that from now on everybody will be walking down a new road.

thankyou-union

One by one each of the wrestlers said their goodbye. Ryu Gouma said he spent the last ten years as a rip off of someone else (Ryuma Go). Yusuke Kubo said he developed a deep love of wrestling during his time here. Daichi said he was grateful to be standing here even though he was only in Union for a short while. Mitomi Masayuki said Union was where he was born and it will always be his hometown. Tomoya Kawamura, who could not wrestle today due to injury, said he was the last rookie to debut in Union and he was happy to be part of it. Hiroshi Fukuda said from now on he wants to fight the strongest wrestlers in honour of Union. Seiya Morohashi’s message was interrupted by the fans chanting “USA!” at Fukuda but he was able to tell fans to remember the “Love Muscle”. Cherry also said she hopes the fans will remember her because she won’t forget them. SAGAT said he came to Union as part of an experiment and it he lived the best life because of it. FUMA thanked everyone for their support and also for their future support. Daichi Kazato thanked the fans over and over. Sawada said Union wrestlers will never die. Susan and Ishikawa both said Union was the best. Kodaka finished the roll call by promising to stop crying. Let’s all laugh instead. The show ended with the combined cries of “3, 2, 1, Thank You Union!”

isami-sawada

The Union MAX Title is now sealed, at least temporarily. Kodaka may bring the MAX Title back some day but he thinks a new championship should be made if a successor to Union appears.

kazato-fuma

Daichi Kazato had a chance to kill off the King Legion for his final Union match. The unit would be forced to dissolve if Kazato could beat its leader FUMA. He came close when he hit the Sister Abigail but FUMA recovered and hit the Jawbreaker kick for the three count. FUMA grabbed Kazato by the hair after the match and lifted him to his feet. He then offered a handshake which Kazato accepted. FUMA said he was disappointed not to be in the MAX Title match but was satisfied to go against another Union made wrestler. There was no mention about what the King Legion will get up to now.

ohka-ohka

The 3 Way Tag Match had Ken Ohka and Mio Shirai reunite for one last time. The retired Shirai was in Ohka’s corner and wore a Ganbare☆Wrestling shirt to support him and Shinichiro Tominaga. Ohka also got to be in the ring with his replacement model Kengo (Mashimo) Ohka one more time. The King Legion benefited from the match going out of control. Ken Ohka got rid of Kengo Ohka with the Spear Of Flame but he then accidentally collided with his partner Tominaga. MEN’S Teioh capitalised and pinned Tominaga with a Jackknife.

cherry-ftehug

Cherry was happy to defend the Fly To Everywhere Title against her “best pupil” Masako Takanashi. She pinned Takanashi with an over-rotated School Boy she calls the Union Lock. Cherry has not decided what to do with the championship now Union has closed. She will take her time making her decision over the belt’s future.

union-memorialtag

A bunch of old faces returned to Union for a special series of tag matches. Seiya Morohashi, Hiroshi Fukuda and Ryu Gouma paired into various combinations to go against various wrestlers from Union’s past. Ricky Fuji and DJ Nira came out wanting to rock and roll. Gouma told them it’s 2015 and nobody wants to hear the old kind of rock music. Morohashi and Fukuda defeated Fuji and Nira while Gouma yelled “Rock ‘n’ roll is dead!” They did not fare as well in the second match against Sanshiro Takagi & New Sanshiro Takagi. New Takagi gave Fukuda a Stunner and old Takagi pinned him with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb. Team #3 was New Beijing Pro Wrestling. Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang came out with a giant tonkachi hammer as well as the lovely Princess Makoto. She distracted the referee with her charms so Zhang could hit Gouma with the giant hammer for the win. The next team was supposed to be Yusuke Inokuma & Keisuke Masuda but it was announced that they injured themselves during their pre-match warm up. Taking their place was the violent team of Gaijin A & Gaijin A! They attacked Morohashi, Fukuda, Gouma and even the referee with sellotape until the lights dimmed. God came out and he began singing badly while Gaijin A & Gaijin A hung the other wrestlers over the rope with sellotape wrapped around their necks. The match ended in a no contest. When all the tape was cleared up out came the final team A.YAZAWA and Mame Endo with Rumi Kazama. Everybody danced to Swan Lake until YAZAWA pinned the entire Union team with a School Boy to end the match.

kubo-mitomi

The show opened with some of the unsung heroes from Union. Mitomi Masayuki was a big signing when he turned pro but a car crash, some bad behaviour on Twitter and another serious injury wrestling elsewhere kept him out of the ring for a significant amount of time. Ryota Nakatsu only debuted last year as part of the DNA brand. Yusuke Kubo previously wrestled under a mask as Goro Jr. and only unmasked back in February. Daichi was a part timer with only a few appearances in Union under his belt.

I think Naomi Susan might still be working for DDT behind the scenes. She mentioned her decision to quit as Union’s manager does not mean she is retired from the pro wrestling industry entirely. She has in the past helped DDT bring in foreign talent.

A team challenge took place throughout the show. The Dropkick Bar wrestlers were on Team Red and their opponents were on Team White.

In the main event the White Team introduced Jun Kasai as their mystery wrestler. Isami Kodaka landed the Diving Double Knee Drop from the ladder onto Ryota Nakatsu to win the match and the challenge for his team. Afterwards he offered Kasai a match on 27th October. Kasai accepted.

Hiroshi Fukuda and The Great Kojika sang old songs while they wrestled each other.

Music from Ashita no Joe played throughout the Glove Match. By the time the match went into the final round Kodaka was starting to resemble Joe Yabuki in his final fight.

A single lighttube was attached to the ropes for Match #3. The aim of the match was to smash the lighttube into the opponent.

In the opening match a wrestler had to drink a glass of tequila every time they were thrown out of the ring. Tetsuya Endo put Nakatsu in a Sleeper Hold and force fed him the bottle, rolling him over with a School Boy afterwards.

*V1 for Yukio Sakaguchi.

sakaguchi-vs-sasaki

KUDO was in attendance to watch his Shuten-dōji brother Yukio Sakaguchi defend the KO-D Openweight Title. The champion hugged KUDO before the match started. Meanwhile Daisuke Sasaki was pushed down to the ring on a trolley by his Golden☆Storm Rider team mates. Sasaki only attempted to do the Vietnam Driver II once in the match but Sakaguchi slipped out of the hold and trapped Sasaki in a Sleeper Hold. Sasaki did catch Sakaguchi with a flash Hurricanrana but it wasn’t enough to get the three count. Sasaki aimed big by setting up an Avalanche Pedigree but Sakaguchi stopped him with some Elbow Strikes that left Sasaki hanging upside down from the turnbuckles by his legs. Sakaguchi climbed the turnbuckles and hit KUDO’s Diving Double Knee Drop! Sasaki somehow kicked out but was put into another Sleeper Hold. Sasaki showed some life when he stuck up his middle finger but Sakaguchi put him away with a Knee Strike to the face, a Jumping Knee to the back and finally the Right Knee Of God in the corner. Sakaguchi celebrated his title defence with KUDO and Masa Takanashi in the ring. His next title defence will be on 28th October against the runner up of the DDT Dramatic General Election.

kod6-ohkaempire

It was a long, rocky hill to climb but #OhkaEmpire are the new KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions! They were the underdogs against Team Drift but Ken Ohka was able to lead his team to victory. Danshoku Dino came out with his hair dyed blonde for the occasion. The title change looked like it wouldn’t happen. Although #OhkaEmpire jumped Drift when the bell rang and Super Sasadango Machine tried to hit the Vertical Drop Lehman Shock three times, Drift stood their ground. Shigehiro Irie looked to be too strong for Ohka but Ohka ducked the Beast Bomber and hit the Spear Of Flame for the upset victory. Later on the new champions confronted Happy Motels to congratulate them on becoming the No. 1 Contenders. Ohka said #OhkaEmpire are a major sports group and they will train hard to defend the titles. Antonio Honda interrupted him with a Stunner. Dino ignored what was going on in the ring so he could have his way with Mao Inoue at ringside.

ibushi-miyatake

Kota Ibushi & Suguru Miyatake both entered the ring for their match carrying a drink that was described as Ibushi’s medicine. He consumed it during the match to get an ability boost.

joeyryan-lollipop

Joey Ryan leaves Japan for now undefeated. He made a friend in Hiroshi Fukuda during his stay. Fukuda told Ryan he is going to be lonely without him and he wrote him a love letter that is also a song that is 16 bars long. Ryan told Fukuda he is his best friend in Japan and they will team again because he will be back in November. When Ryan comes back he wants to face a variety of different wrestlers but none more so than Danshoku Dino.

momowashi-hirata

Toru Owashi did not want any nonsense from Kazuki Hirata today. No goofy glasses, no entrance robe or anything of that sort. Hirata had to go get other gear. Later on Owashi’s own wrestling gear went missing. The only clothing he could find in his locker was a peach costume he used to wrestle in. He had no other choice but to become “Momowashi” once more. It turned out Hirata stole Owashi’s gear and he wore it for the match! At one point Hirata put Owashi in a Stretch Plum just for the sake of making the pun. They later danced to “Tokyo GO!” until Owashi pinned Hirata with a School Boy out of nowhere. Owashi asked afterwards why Hirata stole his gear. Hirata said he found out this month is Owashi’s 15th anniversary in pro wrestling and his 10th anniversary in DDT. Owashi must have forgotten about it. To celebrate Hirata decided to wear Owashi’s gear so he could be more like him. Hirata said Owashi’s bullying has been painful but he still wants them to work hard together going into Owashi’s 11th year in DDT. He gave Owashi his peach helmet back, put on his Hirata GO! glasses and they danced.

ihashi-takagi-dark

Gota Ihashi is free from dark match purgatory once more! Thanks to some help from his Pigging 2015 team mates, Ihashi was able to beat Sanshiro Takagi in the dark match, making Takagi the new King Of Dark Champion! Ihashi threw the belt at Takagi and was so happy that he added himself to the opening match. He then invited Saki Akai to participate in the match to even out the numbers. Akai did not want to take part until Matsunaga revealed that he has her toothbrush. He placed it in Ihashi’s mouth and Akai stormed the ring to kick Ihashi in the face. She went for a Diving Cross Body but Matsunaga dodged and she landed on Makoto Oishi instead. Shunma Katsumata was blinded by blue mist and Ihashi pinned him with a Moonsault to give him a rare two match winning streak. He celebrated by filling his mouth with toothpaste and brushing his teeth with Akai’s toothbrush. He said he was satisfied by the strawberry taste.

Bambi turned on Team Ganpuro when she got hold of a barbed wire baseball bat and swung at Ken Ohka instead of Minoru Fujita. Ohka was then put away with the Lanakila-X from Osamu Namiguchi followed by the Stuka Splash from Hi69. Fujita crawled on top of Ohka for the pin. After the match Fujita & Bambi challenged Ohka to find a female wrestler and face them in a Mixed Tag Match on 14th October. Furthermore Fujita added a stipulation that the losing team will be forced to banish one of their allies from Ganpuro. Hi69 also challenged Yukihiro Abe and Yumehito Imanari to a tag team match. Hi69’s partner will be Madoka.

Shuichiro Katsumura and Shibata got into a brawl after Match #3. Afterwards Mr. No appeared and Katsumura kicked it in the head. Mr. No shook it off. Katsumura challenged it to a match on 14th October.

It turned out the gorilla in the 3 Way Match was Kyoko Kimura. She appeared in the ring in her normal wrestling gear but was announced as “Height and weight absolutely unknown, Gorilla!” When she won the match Ohka approached her and thanked her. Kyoko explained who she was but Ohka misunderstood and thought she said her full name was Gorilla Kimura. Kimura slapped him and left the ring.

HARASHIMA explained he was representing the student wrestling club.

Daisuke Sasaki and Masa Takanashi weren’t on the right page when they teamed together. Some confusion between the two led to Takanashi getting kicked in the head and pinned by Kota Umeda.

There was mixed fortunes for the two new rookies. Mao Inoue got an upset victory over Shunma Katsumata. Despite being smaller, Katsumata should have had the benefit of experience on his side. Instead Inoue had the Swan Dive X Factor scouted and blocked the move with a Dropkick. He then hit the 450 Splash to end it.

Mizuki Watase on the other hand was taken to school by the visiting Shinjiro Otani. Almost literally in fact. Otani submitted Watase with a Half Crab and told him to look up the move on page 279 in his wrestling textbook.

Another new rookie was introduced on the show. Daiki Shimomura is a high school student who wrestles for the nkw micro indie. His debut is set for 12th October.

syoko-pins-akai

There was a big upset in the main event when Shoko Nakajima pinned Saki Akai. The Tokyo Princess Cup winner is the first person to beat Akai in Tokyo Joshi Pro but it was a difficult task none the less. Akai was in control for most of the match and Nakajima was only able to do her Northern Lights Suplex out of desperation for a two count. Victory came for Nakajima when she countered a Lariat into a Cradle. Saki Akai was so shocked by losing that she fainted. Her Biishiki-gun servants were also left speechless by the result. Nakajima meanwhile was filled with emotion over the victory. She told her story of moving to Tokyo when she was 19 years old. She wanted to become a comedian but her attempts ended in failure and she decided to quit. That was when she discovered wrestling and chose Tokyo Joshi as a place to escape to. Since then she’s been having fun everyday and learned to never give up no matter what. She thanked the audience for their support. It was their cheers that kept her together when things looked bleak. She said maybe she is still weak on her own but with Tokyo Joshi they can both grow bigger and bigger together.

erin-comeback

Erin was back in action for the first time since June the arm she fractured was targeted in her return match. Yuka Sakazaki also got involved in a lot of shenanigans like blowing a whistle in Akane Miura’s ear to break up a submission hold and having a quiz against Rika Tatsumi to determine who knows Erin best. When the quiz ended Erin put Tatsumi in her new Jiaozi Lock submission while Miura tapped out Sakazaki with the Sickle Lock.

azusa-takigawa

Tokyo Joshi’s newest wrestler is now named Azusa Takigawa. She lost to Miyu Yamashita in her debut match but is eager to continue wrestling while also attempting to be a reporter on television. After the match Takigawa said she wants to show the same vigor and power that she sees whenever she watches pro wrestling.

oppai-squash

Ai Shimizu was able to render Nonoko unconscious with a modified Camel Clutch, grasping her arms around Nonoko’s big chest and squeezing as hard as she could.

hypermisao-newsuit

The opening match was between two women who teamed together in their debut back in February. For the occassion Hyper Misao wrestled in a new superhero costume that she claims can absorb 95% of her opponent’s attacks. She also wrote a letter for MIZUHO to tell her how much she means to her but her attempts to read it made her cry. However, Misao also warned that this was a big match and her new costume is too powerful for a small fish like MIZUHO. The match happened and it turned out the new super suit wasn’t as powerful as Misao thought it was. MIZUHO was able to beat Misao earn her first pro wrestling victory.

tjp-takagi

Sanshiro Takagi appeared at the end of the show to announce that Tokyo Joshi will soon arrive in the “holy land”. The brand will hold its first show in Korakuen Hall on 4th January, 2016! Takagi said Tokyo Joshi was able to fill up Shinjuku FACE twice and he now wants the brand to fill up Korakuen Hall two, three or even four times! He also mentioned the show will take place at noon so it won’t clash with Wrestle Kingdom 10 next door. He hopes instead that fans both local and worldwide attending the Tokyo Dome that day will be even a little bit interested in giving Tokyo Joshi a shot.

DDT “DRAMATIC SCAN NIIGATA! 2015”, 21/09/2015
Niigata Toriyano Gymnasium
543 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Hoshitango defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Midnight Buenos Aires (7:51).
2. Sanshiro Takagi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata when Hirata pinned Katsumata with the Viagra Driver (8:23).
3. Joey Ryan & Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Suguru Miyatake when Ryan pinned Miyatake with the Super Kick (11:40).
4. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo when Irie pinned Endo with the Beast Bomber (15:06).
5. Akito defeated Kota Umeda with the Scorpion Lock (11:19).
6. Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi when Sasaki pinned Takanashi with the Vietnam Driver II (14:58).
7. Danshoku Dino & Super Sasadango Machine defeated HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano when Machine pinned Urano with the Vertical Drop Lehman Shock (14:35).

Danshoku Dino and Super Sasadango Machine were the local heroes on this show. They said they wanted to protect Niigata from the evils of Smile Squash. Sasadango reminded everyone before the bell that his Lehman Shock finisher removes 35% of the victim’s hit points and is guaranteed to win the match if he hits it 3 times. He immediately did the move on Yasu Urano but held back from pinning him. He did it again after Dino pulled him out of the way from Urano’s Diving Body Press. Sasadango hit the move one more time and true to his word it was enough to beat Urano. Sasadango said the he, Dino & Ken Ohka will soon fight a formidable enemy in the form of Team Drift. He promised they will work hard to win and not embarrass themselves.

Kota Ibushi returned to the ring after a few days absence due to being in “poor physical condition”. What that means, DDT isn’t saying. He was able to save Daisuke Sasaki from defeat when he stopped Masa Takanashi’s Takatonic with a Lariat and Dragon Suplex. Sasaki picked up the pieces and pinned Takanashi with the Vietnam Driver II. Sasaki then confronted Yukio Sakaguchi after the match. Sakaguchi lifted his KO-D Openweight Title up in Sasaki’s face. Sasaki gave Sakaguchi a High Kick to the head in response, starting a brawl between the two. They were soon seperated by wrestlers at ringside. Ibushi began worshipping Sasaki in the ring while Sakaguchi was dragged away.

Joey Ryan’s tactic of sticking a lollipop in his opponent’s mouth and then Super Kicking him continues to work for him. He is also bonding with Hiroshi Fukuda over how American they both are.

DDT “CAREER DAIMYO DRAMATIC-KUN 2015”, 20/09/2015
Shizuoka Hamamatsu Create
334 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Kota Umeda when Takao pinned Umeda with the Gin And Tonic (11:43).
2. Joey Ryan defeated Makoto Oishi with the Super Kick (7:51).
3. Antonio Honda & Saki Akai defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Kouki Iwasaki when Honda pinned Iwasaki with a Cradle (11:14).

The main event saw some shenanigans outside the ring. Ken Ohka tried to interfere but Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao stopped him. Daisuke Kiso got distracted and argued with Irie & Takao, allowing Ohka to sneak into the ring. He went for the Spear on Keisuke Ishii but it was dodged and he hit Danshoku Dino instead. However, Dino recovered and flash pinned Ishii with La Magistral version of the Gay-do Clutch. Ohka claimed that this victory was enough to prove that #OhkaEmpira deserved their upcoming shot at the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. Amon Tsurumi reluctantly agreed and confirmed that Drift Vs #OhkaEmpire on 27th September will be a title match.

When Yukio Sakaguchi said he was going to put a stop to Daisuke Sasaki’s momentum, he meant it. Sakaguchi blocked the Vietnam Driver II and knocked out Sasaki with a Right High Kick. Suguru Miyatake had to revive Sasaki by squirting water in his face bukake style after the match. Sasaki told Sakaguchi that this was all part of his strategy and he now knows what Sakaguchi can do to him.

Kota Ibushi was again taken off the show due to poor health. Saki Akai was added to the show as part of the card rearrangement. She and Antonio Honda hatched a plan to beat Pigging 2015. When Kouki Iwasaki climbed the top turnbuckle, Honda yelled at him to stop because he has a cat named Dorothy stuck inside his stomach. Tomomitsu Matsunaga didn’t believe him but suddenly there was cries of “Nyan!” heard around ringside. It turned out to be Akai whispering into the microphone. She apologised when she was caught but still the distraction worked long enough for Honda to pin Iwasaki with a roll up.

Joey Ryan had an asthma attack during his match. His opponent Makoto Oishi stole Ryan’s inhaler beforehand and hid it in his tights. Ryan got revenge when he took out a lollipop from his tights and forced it into Oishi’s mouth.
