Falls Count Anywhere 3 Way 6-Person Tag Match: Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Hyper Misao defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Kazuki Hirata & Saki Akai and Antonio Honda, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Nonoko when Dino pinned Hirata with the Danshoku Driver onto a table (27:00).

DDT returned to the HandMade In Japan Festival for their annual Falls Count Anywhere match for the event. Before the match began Amon Tsurumi went over the rules. If a wrestler broke any of the products on display in the area, they would have to pay for it. Each of the wrestlers entered the stage wearing handmade masks created by sellers at the event.

Kazuki Hirata’s dance was interrupted by the match starting on the stage. Hyper Misao dove off the stage onto some of her opponents on the ground below. Sanshiro Takagi brought out the Dramatic Dream combat bicycle and Lariated Tomomitsu Matsunaga as he cycled past him. Danshoku Dino brought out a giant hammer and swung wild with it. The match travelled into indoors and Dino reminded everyone to be careful around the trade hall. He and Makoto Oishi bought some smartphone covers and wore them on their hands. Takagi and Antonio Honda bought some t-shirts while Saki Akai found a massive mecha fist. She used it to rocket punch everyone. Back at the outdoor stage Honda did some Bionic Elbows and yelled “Dusty!” during each one. Nonoko joined in but she yelled “Busty!” instead. Everyone fought over the HIRATA GO! glasses and the defeated were thrown into Dino’s ass on a ladder. After that Dino and Hirata were the last left standing and Dino put Hirata through a table with the Danshoku Driver for the win.

After the match Dino told the crowd their is no destruction without creation. He noted there was not as much destruction as last year’s match but they were still able to create. He then spoke of a girl who saw last year’s match and afterwards wanted to be a pro wrestler. That girl is now Hyper Misao. She confirmed the story and started to cry. She came all the way from Gotham City in northern Kanto to visit the event and enjoyed what she saw from DDT. Today was also her first victory which makes the match even more memorable for her.

MIZUHO was pulled from the show due to suffering from a high fever. Her planned 3 Way match became just a singles between Nonoko and Rika Tatsumi.

1. He Can’t Stand Anymore, That’s Enough, Oh God Save Him – Punch Drunk Glove Match: Hoshitango & Kosei Kubota defeated Tanomusaku Toba & Kota Umeda when Hoshitango knocked out Toba with a Right Hook (7:53).

7. KUDO & Kengo Mashimo defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Isami Kodaka when KUDO pinned Kodaka with the Diving Double Knee Drop (16:13).

KUDO and Yukio Sakaguchi kept their distance in the ring during the opening speeches. Masa Takanashi kept apologising for the sudden change of teams in the main event. For the match itself Takanashi refused to take sides and stood watching at the neutral corner outside the ring. During the closing show speech Sakaguchi briefly thanked the fans for attending and left when it was KUDO’s turn to speak. KUDO said he does not know what will happen to his relationship with Sakaguchi but Shuten-dōji will still exist and their planned Beer Garden show next month is still happening.

Everybody in the 5 Way match had to drink shots of tequila whenever drinking music played over the speakers. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that everyone got drunk. Konosuke Takeshita was stopped from drinking because he was mistaken for a minor. When he pointed out he is 20 years old (the legal drinking age in Japan) everybody congratulated him. All five wrestlers rolled each other around in failed pinning attempts until they all collapsed from dizziness. Everyone was too drunk to get back on their feet and they were all counted out.

Takanashi was blinded with black ink in Match #5. Gorgeous Matsuno tried to capitalise with the Swanton Bomb but missed his target. Takanashi recovered his eyesight and pinned Matsuno afterwards.

Everyone in Match #4 wound up wrestling bare-assed by the end of their bout.

sakaguchi-irie-kneeofgod

After several weeks of setbacks and self-doubt Yukio Sakaguchi finally overcame Shigehiro Irie in the main event of today’s show. For the last month Irie had Sakaguchi’s number everytime they faced off and they wasted no time from the get go. KUDO watched the match from the commentary table knowing that he will be defending the KO-D Openweight Title against either wrestler at Sumo Hall next month. Irie hit the Flying Sausage, Teddy Bear and Beast Bomber but Sakaguchi wouldn’t stay down. Sakaguchi locked in a Sleeper Hold but Irie escaped and hit a Fire Thunder Driver for two. Sakaguchi Headbutted his way out of the Vertical Drop Back Flip and unleashed High Kicks to Irie, finishing him off with the Right Knee Of God. Sakaguchi praised Irie after the match and thanked GM Amon Tsurumi for not listening to his selfish plea of being removed from the Sumo Hall main event. Sakaguchi then called in KUDO and they had a staredown. Masa Takanashi tried to keep both of them calm but KUDO put his hand up to his mouth to shut him up. Sakaguchi told KUDO their match will be a war and they will kill each other for the KO-D Title.

suplex-prefecture-bitch

The Golden☆Storm Riders and Strong BJ had their final skirmish before the big KO-D Tag Team Title match. The 6-Man Tag saw Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki push Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi into each other with trolleys. Strong BJ fought back with a triple Torture Rack spot in the ring. Ibushi stopped a German Suplex pin from Sekimoto by Double Stomping onto him. Unfortunately for Sasaki he got tossed around some more including a Double German from the tag champs. Sasaki’s flash Hurricanrana was blocked and Sekimoto destroyed him with the Lariat followed by the Deadlift German Suplex. In the post-match interview Ibushi said Sasaki was damaged pretty badly but he’ll recover in time for Sumo Hall. Meanwhile Ibushi will now focus on the G1 Climax that begins tomorrow.

mikami-farewell

After being with DDT for its entire 18 year existence MIKAMI has finished up his contract and is now a freelancer. DDT gave him a special sending off even though he is still going to wrestle for them from time to time. MIKAMI gave a speech thanking everyone for supporting him and continuing to support him. He also gave special mention to Gorgeous Matsuno and said they will team again someday.

fall-to-the-hell

Akito’s reign as DDT Extreme Champion has come to an end after Antonio Honda beat him in a Fall To The Hell Match. The ropes and turnbuckle pads were removed from the ring and the match could be won by ring out as well as pinfall or submission. There was a lot of ground wrestling as both men didn’t want to risk getting knocked out of the ring. Akito busted open Honda with Headbutts but Honda won out in the end when he Dropkicked Akito out of the ring. Honda said blood on his face is like beautiful make-up on a beautiful woman. It was announced afterwards that Honda will have his first defence at Sumo Hall. His opponent will be determined on 1st August. Honda is thrilled to have a big title match at Sumo Hall.

last-minute-powerpoint

Due to the warm summer weather Super Sasadango Machine did not wear his usual long wrestling tights for his match. He also had a migraine so he did not create a PowerPoint presentation in time for the match. Danshoki Dino & Makoto Oishi asked how long it would take to make one and he said 5 minutes. Dino & Oishi told Sasadango to go make it and they will wrestle without him. Sasadango finished it and midway through the match he begun his analysis. He compared his opponents to the Takeda Cavalry from the Warring States period of Japanese history. The Takeda Cavalry was defeated with guns in the Battle Of Nagashino so Sasadango’s team should do something similar, just instead of guns they should use their asses. Sasadango said the anus is their muzzle, the rectum is their barrel and that’s where the bullet exits from (I can’t believe I’m typing this). He then revealed his plan “The Anal Three Stage Shoot”. The plan was for all three to use ass based offence and it worked! The trio won the match and look like they will be challenging for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles at Sumo Hall.

saki-takanashi-go

The 3 Way Tag devolved into dancing and fighting over the Hirata GO! glasses. Takanashi rolled over both Kazuki Hirata & Hiroshi Fukuda for a near fall. Saki Akai then followed up with a Double Jackknife Pin and that was enough to get the win. Hirata & Fukuda argued over who lost after the match.

higuchi-backbreaker

Kazusada Higuchi has a new entrance song. He tapped out Kota Umeda by countering the Tornado Bomb into the Canadian Backbreaker.

urano-ihashi-dark

Even with all the rules in his favour Gota Ihashi could not beat Yasu Urano in the King Of Dark Title match. Urano was being punished for losing the KO-D Title to Ken Ohka and only had to be pinned for 1 second to lose the match. However an Oklahoma Roll saved him from dark match hell. Ihashi then found out his next title match will be at Sumo Hall against Dragon Gate’s own lovable loser “Hollywood” Stalker Ichikawa! Ihashi thinks this is the match that will finally free him from his nightmare.

More matches were booked for “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2015”. Genichiro Tenryu, Sanshiro Takagi & Saki Akai will take on Shuji Ishikawa, Kazusada Higuchi & Meiko Satomura. Also Tetsuya Endo returns from injury and his first match back is against his tag team partner Konosuke Takeshita!

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Rumble Match: Yoshihiko defeated Makoto Oishi and Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Double Reincarnation (18:40).
Order Of Elimination: Shunma Katsumata, Kazusada Higuchi, Keisuke Ishii, Soma Takao, Kazuki Hirata, Toru Owashi, Sanshiro Takagi, Makoto Oishi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga.
2. Customer System Match: Danshoku Dino defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with the Danshoku Dino (11:39).
3. Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Ai Shimizu & KANNA defeated Miyu Yamashita & Yuka Sakazaki when Shimizu pinned Sakazaki with the Triebflügel (4:59).
4. Konosuke Takeshita & Kota Umeda defeated Super Sasadango Machine & Suguru Miyatake when Takeshita pinned Miyatake with the German Suplex (6:14).
5. HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano defeated KUDO & Masa Takanshi when HARASHIMA pinned Takanashi with the Somato (10:53).

The show began at 5am over in Japan as part of an all day live stream on Niconico. No tickets were available so the entire wrestling show took place in an empty Korakuen Hall. The Niconico “Bullet Hell” style chat appeared on the screen for the wrestlers to see and interact with.

Even without an audience Super Sasadango Machine held a PowerPoint presentation to figure out how to beat two 20 year old wrestlers early in the morning.

Danshoku Dino and Hiroshi Fukuda could only use certain moves depending on viewer donations. By spending Nico Points, viewers could purchase single use moves for the wrestlers to do. For example Dino could only do the Danshoku Driver if somebody in the chat purchased the move for 300 points. For some reason Fukuda’s Perfect Plex was priced at 99,999 points. Late in the match the price was cut down to just 30 points but nobody bought it. Fukuda did the move anyway but Dino kicked out at 1 and then beat Fukuda with the Lip Lock and Danshoku Driver.

Yoshihiko was given a DWANGO internet gift package for winning the Rumble match.

At the end of the show Kazuki Hirata entered the ring wanting to dance but the stream cut off as he was getting ready.

5. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) defeated Madoka with the Isamuashi Zan (22:14).
*V3 for Isami Kodaka.

The main event is said to be an exciting match between two wrestlers who have a lot of history together. Madoka even tried the Shooting Star Press which he has not used in years. After Isami Kodaka won the match he talked about himself and Madoka wrestling in K-DOJO together. Madoka was only 17 when he debuted there while Kodaka was 20. The two shook hands but FUMA then showed up to confront Kodaka. FUMA said the Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title has a great history but he should be main eventing shows because he is the Union MAX Champion. Kodaka challenged FUMA to a match on 30th August, Title Vs Title!

The Scramble Bunkhouse Death Match was as chaotic as expected. A barbed wire baseball bat was placed in the middle of the ring and both teams raced towards it from opposite ends of the room when the match began. Chairs and a steel chain were also brought into play. Daichi Kazato went hardcore by putting SAGAT through a table. But FUMA took him out wit a Brainbuster onto the pile of chairs followed by a PK with the barbed wire bat placed in front of Kazato. FUMA then hit the Diving Headbutt to finish him off.

Mio Shirai thanked HAYATA for teaming with her and said he was like a brother or step-brother to her. She complimented him for using her Tsuchigumo finisher to win the match and permitted him to continue using it. The move is a gift from her.

Almost everyone in the opener was dressed in appropriate clothing for the challenge between Karate, Judo and bodybuilding. Kazuhiko Ogasawara wore his karate gi as usual, Hiroshi Fukuda & Ayumu Honda were both wearing judogi and Seiya Morohashi & Macho Michaels both wrestled in skimpy bodybuilding tights. Only Ryu Gouma showed up wearing his normal suit. Gouma gave a closing argument that it was time for him to defend Japan from the dangerous threats of judo and bodybuilding. Unfortunately for him Judo won the day when Ayumu tapped out Gouma.

1. 1 Vs 2 Handicap Match: Miyu Yamashita defeated Hyper Misao & MIZUHO when Yamashita pinned Misao with the Crash Rabbit Heat (9:10).
2. Saki Akai & KANNA defeated Yuka Sakazaki & Rika Tatsumi when KANNA pinned Tatsumi with the Spear Of Versailles (11:28).
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Akane Miura defeated Ai Shimizu with a LAriat (7:24).
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima defeated Nonoko with the Northern Lights Suplex (8:43).

The Tokyo Princess Cup continued with the remaining first round matches. Akane Miura defeated Ai Shimizu, eliminating one of the two Biishiki-gun wrestlers from the tournament. Shoko Nakajima scored a big upset by eliminating last year’s winner Nonoko in the main event. The semi-final draw took place at the end of the show. The matches taking place on 8th August are Miyu Yamashita Vs Akane Miura and KANNA Vs Shoko Nakajima.

Rika Tatsumi (formerly Ririko Kendo) returned from injury and had her first match in over 14 months. However her teamwork with Yuka Sakazaki did not work out as planned. She gave Sakazaki a Facebuster from the top rope with the intention of slamming her into KANNA but KANNA rolled out of the way. Saki Akai took out Sakazaki at ringside with a Running PK from the apron while KANNA picked up the win with the Spear Of Versailles on Tatsumi. In the post-match interview Tatsumi said the match was fun and she was happy her return ended safely. She admitted her fear of getting injured again may have effected her performance.

Five months into their wrestling careers, Hyper Misao & MIZUHO teamed up again for the first time since their débuts. The newly named Hero & Sexy team wanted to defeat Miyu Yamashita in a handicap match. Doing so would make them the double aces of Tokyo Joshi according to Misao. At one point they put Yamashita in a lewd position with Misao applying a Wheelbarrow Stretch and forcing Yamashita into a Stinkface from MIZUHO. However a backfired Lariat allowed Yamashita to turn the tables and pin Misao.

Hiroshi Fukuda interfered and Clotheslined both Brahmans while the fans chanted “USA!”. The Brahmans later brought in buckets of noodles to turn the tables. They blinded their opponents with black ink to get the win.

Hiroshi Fukuda and Ryuichi Kawakami both sang “Subaru” by Shinji Tanimura together during their match.

9. Road To DAIICHI Special Tag Match: Akito & Konosuke Takeshita defeated Shigehiro Irie & Kazusada Higuchi when Takeshita pinned Higuchi with the German Suplex (28:29).

Konosuke Takeshita won in impressive fashion by German Suplexing Kazusada Higuchi in the main event. Higuchi had Takeshita in the Canadian Backbreaker but Akito cut him off with a Dropkick. Takeshita cut down Higuchi with a Lariat before deadlifting him into the German Suplex.

The situation between Shuten-dōji seems to be improving a little bit. KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi shared a drink when they defeated Smile Squash in the semi-main event.

Kota Ibushi got to experience what it is like in Kuishinbo Kamen and Kikutaro’s world. He beat the both of them immediately and all three congratulated each other until an unsatisfied Yukinori Matsui told them to restart the match. At one point Ibushi noticed someone was standing behind him and thinking it was one of his opponents he did a low blow mule kick. The person turned out to be Matsui. Kikutaro removed his mask and threw it to Ibushi, claiming that he was illegally unmasked. Matsui said he didn’t notice anything different about Kikutaro and allowed the match to continue. Ibushi put on Kikutaro’s mask and did some of Kikutaro’s comedy spots with Kamen. He then knocked out both Kamen and Kikutaro with punches and pinned them with a Diving Body Press from the top rope.

Super Sasadango Machine held another PowerPoint presentation for his match with Atsushi Maruyama. Sasadango figured out the three elements that make up his opponent. Maruyama is fierce like a wild tiger, drinks one litre of vinegar a day to stay healthy and wears a mask on weekdays. Sasadango wondered if Maruyama was Tigers Mask. He then brought out the IMGP World Title. The International Muscle Grand Prix was the governing body that promoted the old MUSCLE brand and Tigers Mask was the last champion before the title disappeared. Sasadango then announced he and Maruyama will fight over the vacated championship. Sasadango’s plan was to make Maruyama cry, use a diaper to absorb his tears and then wear the diaper to make himself heavier and in the process boost the power of the Vertical Drop Lehmann Shock. When the match began both men were quickly gassed. They decided to fight outside the ring Big Japan style to cover up their lack of fitness. As they did so they noticed a woman in the first row and discovered it was Shigehiro Irie’s mother. She gave a heartfelt message of support for her son which made Maruyama cry. Irie came out and said his mother was the most important woman in the world to him. He talked about the first time she brought him to Delfin Arena to watch wrestling and they hugged. Now Sasadango was crying. Maruyama took advantage and kicked Sasadango in the head to win the IMGP Title.

*V3 for Team Dream Futures.

The strained relationship between KUDO and Yukio Sakaguchi is getting worse. Sakaguchi was pinned by Shigehiro Irie in the main event, costing Shuten-dōji their chance to reclaim the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. KUDO was pissed that his Sumo Hall opponent lost the match because it makes both of them look weak. Masa Takanashi tried to calm them down but KUDO left the ring on his own. Sakaguchi took the blame and requested to be taken off the Sumo Hall main event, citing that he does not feeld qualified to be in the KO-D Openweight Title match. He bowed to Amon Tsurumi as an apology. Irie suddenly jumped back into the ring and also bowed. Tsurumi decided that Sakaguchi and Irie will have a match at the next Korakuen Hall show to prove who deserves to main event Sumo Hall.

Kota Umeda was hoping to show off all the hard work he has been doing in DNA. Unfortunately he was put in the ring with Danshoku Dino who was in a pretty horny mood. After Dino won the match he tried to get his hands on Umeda as well as the other DNA wrestlers Shunma Katsumata and Ryota Nakatsu.

There was an in-ring debate to determine the No. 1 Contender for the DDT Extreme Title. The debate was between Hiroshi Fukuda, Kazuki Hirata, Antonio Honda, Gota Ihashi, Makoto Oishi and Yasu Urano with Amon Tsurumi and the champion Akito overlooking everything. Ihashi was not supposed to be involved in the debate but he explained he would put the King Of Dark Title on the line to make it a dark match double championship bout if he became the No. 1 Contender. Ihashi wanted to challenge Akito to a Better Dish Death Match. He would win because he cooks better meals. Nobody liked the idea and Ihashi was thrown out of the ring. Tsurumi then started yelling at Urano, blaming him for Ken Ohka breifly winning the KO-D Title two weeks ago. Tsurumi was so mad that he took off his afro and threw it out of the ring! Urano apologised but it was too late, he’s going to get a King of Dark Title match instead! That’s not all, Ihashi only needs to pin Urano for one second to win the match!

Urano was taken out of the ring by some DNA wrestlers and the debate continued. Fukuda said he wants to be the first American to win the Extreme Title. He wants to fight Akito in a Showa Kayo Death Match. Hirata said it should be him and Akito in a TOKYO Dancing Death Match. Honda talked about the impressive line of defences Akito has been through and said he wants the title match so he can fight the best DDT has to offer. Finally Oishi suggested an Idol Lumberjack match. Akito picked Honda as his next challenger. Their match will have no ring ropes and can end by Ring Out.
