7. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito defeated Kota Ibushi, Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake when HARASHIMA pinned Miyatake with the Somato (16:15).

Sanshiro Takagi was taken off the show due to a high fever, causing a minor reshuffle of the card.

With one month to go until “SAITAMA SUPER DDT 2015”, the skirmishes between HARASHIMA and Kota Ibushi continue. HARASHIMA again got one up on his rival, scoring another tag team victory in the main event. HARASHIMA told Ibushi afterwards that their matches so far have been great fun. He offered a handshake but Ibushi instead held up his hand in a scissors pose. This riled up HARASHIMA and he has rarely shown an angry side during his KO-D Title run. Yasu Urano calmed him down and HARASHIMA was back to his pleasant self for the end of show promo.

???????????????????????????????

The Pu Joshi Hyakkei Infomercial Match featured Makoto Oishi, Shiori Asahi, Antonio Honda and Tetsuya Endo all wrestling in schoolgirl outfits. An illustration of a wrestling move taken from the book would appear on the screen and it was up to the wrestlers to perform the move. Some of the moves shown were the Giant Swing, Boma Ye, Axe Bomber and Guillotine Drop. The final move was the Cactus Flower, Oishi & Asahi’s tag team finisher. It took a bit of effort to do the move on Honda due to his weight but they eventually pulled it off.

Konosuke Takeshita asked Kazuki Hirata to wrestle him without the Magnum TOKYO mask because he wanted to fight the Hirata he trained with. Hirata took the request to heart and resisted the urge to call for his music during the match. But late into the match the temptation proved to be too strong and Kazuki called for his song. Another song played over the sound system and Hirata was confused. Takeshita took advantage and used the German Suplex to win the match. Hirata got to hear his song afterwards.

Gota Ihashi offered to protect Saki Akai on her journey to beat Aja Kong for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. But he was just doing it for romantic reasons and stopped their tag match so he could ask for a kiss. Akai knocked him out with a High Kick.

Amon Tsurumi revealed his plans to create the King Of Dark Championship, a revolutionary new title to be used exclusively in dark matches. He wanted to give Ihashi and DJ Nira the opportunity to be the first champion at “SAITAMA SUPER DDT 2015”. Ihashi wasn’t eager about the idea until Amon suggested that he and Akai could wind up as a champion couple. Ihashi agreed right away. Nira however refused to take part because he wanted to be in the Iron Man Battle Royal instead. He only accepted when Tsurumi bowed to him and asked politely.

DDT “DRAMATIC KAIYUKAN! 2015” Results

January 12, 2015

harashima-ibushi

DDT “DRAMATIC KAIYUKAN! 2015”, 12/01/2015
Osaka Port Kumin Center
375 – Super No Vacancy

0. Dark Match: Kazusada Higuchi Vs Ryota Nakatsu ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).
1. Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi defeated Kouki Iwasaki & DJ Nira when Owashi pinned Nira with La Magistral Cradle (0:25).
1a. Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi defeated Kouki Iwasaki & DJ Nira when Owashi pinned Nira with a Collapsed Body Slam (5:18).
2. Antonio Honda & Tetsuya Endo defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga & HAYATA when Honda pinned Matsunaga with the Diving Fist Drop (10:58).
3. Akito & MIKAMI defeated Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata when Akito pinned Katsumata with the Kinniku Big Move (9:43).
4. Konosuke Takeshita defeated Kushinbo Kamen with a Big Boot (0:06).
4a. Konosuke Takeshita defeated Kushinbo Kamen with the German Suplex (11:08).
5. KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi defeated Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao when Takanashi pinned Takao with the Takatonic (11:08).
6. HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano defeated Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki with the Somato (18:31).

HARASHIMA and Kota Ibushi had a staredown after the main event. Insteado of offering a handshake, Ibushi instead patted the KO-D Openweight Title that was around HARASHIMA’s waist.

Today Konosuke Takeshita got to wrestle a special match against Kushinbo Kamen. Using Yukinori Matsui to speak on his behalf, Kamen explained to the crowd that Takeshita as a little kid in kindergarten used to watch him wrestle in Osaka Pro. Kamen was happy to see Takeshita grow up into the wrestler that stood before him and was excited to wrestle him. The match began and Takeshita immediately won with a Big Boot. Takeshita was shocked and refused to accept the victory. He didn’t want this special match to end like this so it restarted. In the rematch Takeshita immediately hit the Big Boot again but this time he stopped the pin himself before Matsui counted to three. The match went outside and Kamen accidentally hit a photographer with a Sliding Kick. Kamen also attempted a dive from the top turnbuckle but jumped the opposite direction from Takeshita and landed on the floor. Matsui later got involved when he got sick of Kamen’s shenanigans and gave him a German Suplex. Takeshita then hit a German of his own for the win.

Makoto Oishi admitted that the X challenger for the DDT Extreme Title at “SAITAMA SUPER DDT 2015” will be (sigh) Shiori Asahi. Oishi aims to beat Akito at Korakuen Hall this month so he can win the belt and defend it against Asahi.

Kouki Iwasaki expressed disappointment that his tag match ended in 6 seconds when his partner DJ Nira was quickly pinned. Iwasaki was looking forward to facing Sanshiro Takagi so they agreed to an immediate rematch. DJ Nira was pinned again, this time when a Body Slam attempt failed. The much heavier Toru Owashi fell on top of him and got the pin.

DDT “DRAMATIC TENPOZAN! 2015”, 11/01/2015
Osaka Port Kumin Center
418 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Makoto Oishi defeated Kouki Iwasaki with the Miracle Ecstasy (7:09).
2. Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Kiai Ryuuken Ecchan when Takagi pinned Ecchan with La Magistral Cradle (10:04).
3. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo defeated Shunma Katsumata & Ryota Nakatsu when Takeshita pinned Nakatsu with the German Suplex (12:04).
4. MIKAMI defeated Keisuke Ishii with a School Boy (3:58).
5. New Year’s Annual Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: A. YAZAWA defeated Kazuki Hirata, DJ Nira and Shoichi Uchida when YAZAWA pinned all three with a Triple School Boy (14:00).
6. Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki defeated Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao when Ibushi pinned Takao with the Sit Down Last Ride (12:40).
7. KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi defeated HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito when KUDO pinned Urano with the Diving Double Knee Drop (18:29).

Nearly one year into the unit’s existence, Shuten-dōji were victorious today in their birthplace of Osaka. They aim to celebrate their one year anniversary by winning the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles in Saitama Super Arena next month. And they also want to beat Team Dream Futures tomorrow. Masa Takanashi then plugged the unit’s new DVD.

The Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match made its return. In this match the wrestlers must “release their rock ‘n’ roll spirits” whenever music played over the speakers. However sometimes they got songs from Swan Lake so they all tried to dance as elegantly as they could. It was during Swan Lake when the four wrestlers linked up by holding hands. A. YAZAWA found an opportunity and rolled up the other three with a big School Boy for the triple three count.

MIKAMI caught Keisuke Ishii off guard with a Suicide Dive while Ishii was making his entrance. Then three minutes into the match MIKAMI pinned Ishii with the School Boy. After the match MIKAMI talked about Ishii missing an AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title match because of illness. He told Ishii he was not rotting, life is just frustrating. It’s up to Ishii to crawl out of it and rise back up.

Sanshiro Takagi took time off during his match to promote the SHI-EN Pro Wrestling show taking place in Osaka Bodymaker Colosseum #2 on 21st February. He even forced Toru Owashi to take some of the tickets from the merch stand and hand them out to people in the front row.

Suguru Miyatake was taken off the show due to injury. Ryota Nakatsu took his place in Match #3 and Kouki Iwasaki took Nakatsu’s place in the opening match.

UNION “NEW YEAR UNION 2015” Results

January 11, 2015

union-old-gen

UNION “NEW YEAR UNION 2015”, 10/01/2015
Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR
120 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Goro Jr. defeated Ryu Gouma with a Crossface Lock (0:16).
1a. Goro Jr. defeated Ryu Gouma with a Triangle Lancer (8:08).
2. Madoka defeated Ryota Nakatsu with the Ranhyei (9:37).
3. Tomoya Kawamura defeated Awamori Man with a Sling Blade (11:22).
4. Come Out Tag Match: Isami Kodaka, Shuji Ishikawa, Seiya Morohashi & Cherry defeated FUMA, Daichi Kazato, SAGAT & Mio Shirai (39:40).
4a. FUMA eliminated Seiya Morohashi with the Jawbreaker (10:38).
4b. Shuji Ishikawa eliminated Mio Shirai By Ring Out (14:19).
4c. SAGAT eliminated Cherry with the Crushed Spring Night Love (16:58).
4d. Shuji Ishikawa eliminated SAGAT with the Running Knee Lift (25:04).
4e. Daichi Kazato and Shuji Ishikawa were both eliminated by Double Ring Out (37:06).
4f. Isami Kodaka eliminated FUMA with the Isamuashi Zan (39:40).

The main event was an Old Generation Vs New Generation elimination match with a twist. The match started off as FUMA & Mio Shirai Vs Shuji Ishikawa & Seiya Morohashi in a tag team match. When a wrestler gets eliminated one of the remaining two wrestlers on the team would take their place. The match would continue to be two versus two until the numbers whittled down. There were already problems on the New Gen team when Shirai said she didn’t like FUMA’s battle plan and would use her own strategy instead. Despite being on a different page, they scored first blood when FUMA pinned Morohashi. Cherry came in for the Old Gen team. Shirai’s strategy of wearing down Ishikawa backfired when he escaped her Hanging Headscissors over the rope and knocked her out of the ring for the Ring Out. SAGAT came in and proved to be a good pick when he eliminated Cherry. Isami Kodaka entered the match and Ishikawa evened the odds by eliminating SAGAT. Daichi Kazato arrived and the match was down to the final four wrestlers. Ishikawa attempted to eliminated Kazato in more ways than one with the Fire Thunder onto the apron. But Kazato fought out of the move and did a Huracanrana that eliminated both of them from the match. The match came down to FUMA and Kodaka as the two UWA World Tag Team Champions fought each other. FUMA kicked out of a German Suplex at 1 and went for the Jawbreaker but Kodaka dodged and hit the Isamuashi Zan kick for the win. After the match Kodaka said he wasn’t going to lose to the New Generation.

Hiroshi Fukuda appeared at the end to announce his injury has healed and he will return to action on 28th January. I’m not sure if his planned stay in All Japan is still going to happen.

The first Union match of 2015 only lasted 16 seconds. Ryu Gouma was so embarrassed from tapping out so quickly to Goro Jr. that he demanded an immediate rematch. He used his powers as a lawyer to make it happen. He also made sure the rematch could only end by Pinfall. Goro put Gouma in an Armbar, a Sharpshooter and MMA style pound and ground. Gouma submitted to each move and pleaded for the match to end but it continued. When Gouma had a chance to get away he apologised for changing the rules and asked for submissions to count again. He tried to sneak attack Goro but was fought off and put in a Triangle Lancer. Gouma gave up again and even announced Goro as the winner as the bell rang for the match to end.

DDT “DNA 2” Results

January 9, 2015

miyatake-kasai

DDT “DNA 2”, 09/01/2015
Shinjuku FACE
322 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Ryuichi Sekine defeated Kota Umeda with the Combine (7:20).
2. Shota defeated Dai Suzuki with the Frog Splash (9:19).
3. Jiro Kuroshio defeated Tomoya Kawamura with a Sunset Flip (9:27).

6. Jun Kasai defeated Suguru Miyatake with the Pearl Harbour Splash (14:33).

Suguru Miyatake had the unenviable task of taking on Jun Kasai in the main event. However he went after the Crazy Monkey with gusto, attacking him the moment the bell rang. A steel chair was brought in and was used by both wrestlers on each other. Kasai was unaffected but Miyatake took damage. He tried to stay in the match but was eventually pinned with the Pearl Harbour Splash. Kasai wondered why a fresh rookie from dullsville wanted to take on the charismatic death match wrestler. Kasai knows how to be strong and offered Miyatake the chance to team with him some day.

Katsuhiko Nakajima said he will remember Kazusada Higuchi’s name and was surprised to find out they are both the same age.

Overall it was a tough day for the rookies. A lot of them faced more experienced wrestlers and came up short. Sanshiro Takagi explained at the end of the show that the DNA wrestlers need to be given tough tests like these. He then revealed in February Miyatake will have a match against Yuko Miyamoto.

DDT’s first show of 2015 featured the annual New Year Team Challenge in front of a packed Korakuen Hall (all tickets for the event were priced at 2,000 yen which I think is around €14/$17/£11). Danshoku Dino and Michael Nakazawa each captained a team and points were on offer for every match and challenge. Wins were worth 30 points and draws were worth 10 points. Keisuke Ishii was ill with a fever so Shuji Ishikawa took his spot in the Dino Army.

34-tag-match

The main event was a five match series. Nakazawa’s team racked the most wins and at the end it looked like his team won the challenge. However as is tradition at this show an impromptu 34-Man Tag Team match took place with 500 points on the line. Everywhere you looked in the arena, DDT wrestlers were fighting each other. Kazuki Hirata stayed inside the ring to dance while chaos was happening around him. Nakazawa was in danger of losing when Kota Ibushi threw him like a javelin into the turnbuckles. But Nakazawa dodged the Diving Fist Drop from Antonio Honda and gave him the Ultimate Venom Arm for the ultimate victory. Nakazawa’s prize for winning the competition was 200 tickets for “SAITAMA SUPER DDT 2015”. He was told to sell them all when he moves to Singapore. Dino then invited Nakazawa’s wife Keiko Nakazawa into the ring. Michael said they will go to Singapore together but Keiko said she wouldn’t. She wished him luck and left the ring.

storm-brahmans

The new but probably not improved Golden☆Storm Riders failed to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles from Gorgeous Matsuno & the Brahman Brothers. Matsuno and Ibushi brawled around Korakuen Hall and at one point Ibushi tried to throw Matsuno over the balcony! The rookie Suguru Miyatake took the pin when he was accidentaly blinded with black ink spat out by his partners. Shuten-dōji were announced as the next challengers and will get their title shot at Saitama Super Arena.

sasadango-ackah

Super Sasadango Machine brought along a doppelgänger for his tag match against Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi. Takagi unmasked Machine No. 2 and it turned out to be Bernard Ackah, as if it wasn’t obvious before. After the match Takagi asked Ackah why is he still hanging around? Does he want to be a pro wrestler? Ackah cried and admitted he wants to do pro wrestling. Takagi told Ackah he will get to wrestle at Saitama Super Arena.

kong-akai

The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title changed hands when Saki Akai pinned Yoshihiko in a 6-Man Tag match. Yoshihiko gave Akai the Hurricanrana for what looked to be the finish but Akai rolled him over with a Sunset Flip for the surprise three count. Akai’s celebration was cut short when Aja Kong attacked her from out of nowhere and hit the Brainbuster to win the title. Kong mocked Akai for winning the Best Rookie Award from Tokyo Sports. She then said she will be at Saitama Super Arena with the belt and will wait for anyone to come and get it.

Soma Takao came out to a new original entrance song.

Three extra challenges took place away from the ring. First, Dino and Nakazawa had a Karaoke Challenge. Nakazawa sang “Babe” and Dino sang “Scorpio Woman”. Dino scored more points but Amon Tsurumi decided to take part and sang “Broken Over The Radio”. His performance was so bad Dino forfeited the game. Second challenge was a quiz between Shigehiro Irie and Saki Akai. Both only got one answer correct so it was a draw. The third challenge was a penalty shootout between Happy Motels and Smile Squash. Happy Motels won it two goals to one.

DDT’s second Korakuen show in January takes place on the 25th. Akito will defend the DDT Extreme Title against Makoto Oishi. The main event will be a special preview of the two big matches taking place at “SAITAMA SUPER DDT 2015”. The KO-D Openweight and Tag Team Champions will team together against their challengers. HARASHIMA, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo Vs Kota Ibushi, Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi!

The next Infomercial Match will take place on 18th January and will promote Pu Joshi Hyaku Kei, a book featuring illustrations of schoolgirls performing wrestling moves. Since the cover shows the Cactus Flower in action, Makoto Oishi & Shiori Asahi will take part in the match. Their opponents will be announced soon. Oh and everybody in the match has to wrestle in schoolgirl costumes.

DDT, Big Japan and K-DOJO were in Korakuen Hall for their annual New Year’s Eve event. This year the show was entirely built around a tag team tournament featuring wrestlers from all three promotions. Matches that ended in a Time Limit Draw went to Sudden Death with one count pinfalls. Danshoku Dino and Keisuke Ishii were originally supposed to compete but were both pulled from the show, Dino due to a hernia and Ishii due to a fever. Antonio Honda and Soma Takao took their places.

Yuko Miyamoto and Isami Kodaka capped off a successful 2014 by winning the tag team tournament. Yankee Nichokenju defeated four strong teams to be claimed the winners: KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi, Makoto Oishi & Shiori Asahi, Ryuji Ito & Jaki Numazawa and in the final Yuji Hino & Yuji Okabayashi.

Konosuke Takeshita and Tetsuya Endo fought Big Japan’s deathmatch duo Ryuji Ito & Jaki Numazawa. The bout was turned into a hardcore match with steel chairs placed around the ring. Endo was left a bloody mess but he and Takeshita fought until the time expired. Unfortunately in Sudden Death, Ito pinned Endo for his team to advance. Backstage Endo said he will nominate Ito & Numazawa as the next challengers for the KO-D Tag Team Titles after they beat Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi in Saitama Super Arena!

Ito & Numazawa took the violent road up to the semi-finals. Each of their matches in the tournament were Hardcore Matches. Their semi-final against Kodaka & Miyamoto was also a Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match! It was also the match that was taking place when the clock struck midnight.

Takayuki Ueki was in the Brahman Brothers’ corner for their match against HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano. Ueki pulled out a gun and threatened to use it on everybody but it was just to distract everyone for a Diving Cross Body. Everybody just moved out of the way and he missed.

TAKA Michinoku waited until the show began to announce his mystery partner. It was The Great Kojika! Their opponents Sanshiro Takagi & Abdullah Kobayashi brought in a bucket of rice cakes to use as weapons. The plan backfired when Kojika forced a rice cake into Takagi’s mouth and pinned him in the process.

The Japan Indie Awards 2014 were presented by Samurai! TV during the show. DDT won the Best Box Office (17th August “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2014”), Best Bout (Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega Vs Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo, 28th September) and MVP (HARASHIMA) awards. Best Unit went to Muno Taiyo (The Great Sasauke & Brahman Brothers) from Michinoku Pro and Best Newcomer went to Takayuki Ueki from Big Japan.

The last Ganbare☆Wrestling show of the year continued the Ganpuro Vs Union Pro rivalry in the main event. Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari stood their ground against the invaders Shota & Tomoya Kawamura. All four brawled around ringside before settling inside the ring. Imanari took a beating but kept himself fired up by yelling “I do not lose!” Unfotunately for him Kawamura put him away with a Moonsault.

Chikara and Kazuhiko Ogasawara brawled with each other after the semi-main event. They had to be pulled apart.

Yukihiro Abe was left frustrated with his loss to GENTARO. After the match GENTARO tried to give him encouragement but Abe left the ring in silence. However Abe would return at the end of the show inspired by Ohka & Imanari’s performance in the main event. He and Ohka challenged Shota & Tomoya Kawamura to a match on 8th February.

After beating Tiger Bed Scene in a match, Madoka took his escort girls. Mai Chusonji & Kaori Masukoji were happy to be at the winner’s side.

Angela Ami was taken out of the show when she was diagnosed with acute bronchitis earlier today. She was replaced by REINA wrestler Makoto. Yumehito Imanari still wanted to use the Angela Aki gimmick so he turned Makoto into Angela Mako. She and Miyako Matsumoto both wrestled in Angela Aki style glasses but they kept on getting knocked or thrown off during the match. Imanari got angry at the disrespect the women showed towards the glasses and attacked both of them, forcing the match to end without a winner. Both Makoto and Matsumoto kicked Imanari in the face and left the ring. When Imanari recovered he announced that Angela Ami will go back to being Manami Koda and will face Kana on 8th February.

140 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

3. Miyu Yamashita defeated Akane Miura with the Crash Rabbit Heat (7:11).

Tokyo Joshi Pro held its final show of the year with Miyu Yamashita Vs Akane Miura in the main event. Miura was the latest road block in Yamashita’s way. Despite having less experience, Miura’s size and strength was something that Yamashita could not previously get past. But today Yamashita escaped from the Canadian Backbreaker and hit the Crash Rabbit Heat for the victory. Her rival Nonoko sarcastically congratulated her after the match but also joked that she had no stamina left to do her victory dance. Nonoko was then interrupted by Shoko Nakajima & Yuka Sakazaki. Earlier the two girls won their first match as a team together and have named themselves the Fighting Comedians to celebrate. The Fighting Comedians challenged Bust Deluxe to a tag team match to take place on 10th January.

DDT president and Tokyo Joshi Pro owner Sanshiro Takagi appeared at the end of the show to congratulate the women for a successful year. Ever since the summer they have been selling out Tokyo BASEMENT MONSTAR so it is time to move to the next step. Tokyo Joshi Pro will be have a show in Shinjuku FACE on 28th February and again in September next year!

Takagi also introduced two new trainees named MIZUHO and Misao (temporary name). They both aim to debut at Shinjuku FACE. Ririko Kendo then appeared and said she wants to come back to the ring on that date too.

Yuka Sakazaki is now bringing a broom to the ring and she uses it as a weapon in her matches.
