*V7 for HARASHIMA.

DDT ends 2014 with a sold out crowd at Korakuen Hall and a cleared path on the road to Saitama Super Arena next February. In the main event HARASHIMA put the KO-D Openweight Title on the line against Shigehiro Irie, the last member of Team Dream Futures to go through in his current title reign. Irie was fueled by his desire to get revenge for his friends but as always HARASHIMA’s training meant the champion came out on top. After the match Irie still wanted HARASHIMA to apologise to Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao but they pulled him away from the ring. HARASHIMA described Irie as a dangerous opponent and he was so strong that it was almost cheating. But he was still better. Kota Ibushi then entered the ring and faced off with HARASHIMA. Ibushi simply said “It’s been a long time. Saitama Super Arena. Thank you.”

Happy Motel is still accepting vacancies. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo scored their 4th successful defence of the KO-D Tag Team Titles against Shuten-dōji. The champs were able to get rid of KUDO and isolate Yukio Sakaguchi inside the ring. A short range Lariat from Takeshita, the Sky Twister Press from Endo and then a German Suplex from Takeshita was enough to put away Sakaguchi. Takeshita thanked Shuten-dōji after the match for their challenge. He and Endo are committed to be the future of DDT. Amon Tsurumi then approached the champs to give them a message. He has a world class tag team to challenge them at Saitama Super Arena… Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi! Endo said he will be ready to fight them and Takeshita said he wants to German Suplex Sekimoto!

Hikaru Sato wrestled in DDT again for the first time in 11 months as part of the finale of Michael Nakazawa’s farewell series. Unfortunately the match only lasted 30 seconds. Nakazawa took the quick loss in his stride and posed for a commemorative photo with the other wrestlers who just wanted to get the entire thing over with. Nakazawa gave a goodbye speech while the other wrestlers ignored him and walked to the back. Nakazawa then stopped himself and said he didn’t want to go out this way. This was not just Nakazawa’s farewell, it was the Nuru Nuru Brothers, Belt Hunter x Hunter and Shit Heart ♥ Foundation reuniting for one last time! “Please cooperate in making my memories! Ring the bell!” The match restarted and Nakazawa was attacked by Sato and Masa Takanashi, who were yelling “Thank you for the memories!” as they stomped him. Tomomitsu Matsunaga rallied the fans behind Nakazawa. Unfortunately in the end Nakazawa was put away by Sato’s Cross Armbreaker submission. After the match Sato told Nakazawa he hopes if Nakazawa ever comes back from Singapore he will have transformed into a new wrestler.

The Golden☆Storm Riders audition reached its conclusion as four men had to battle Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki in order to gain acceptance into the stable. Shunma Katsumata was the first eliminated when Sasaki tapped him out. The most notable contestant was Chinsuke Nakamura, a Shinsuke Nakamura impersonator. Ibushi and Chinsuke went at it in a preview of Ibushi’s upcoming Tokyo Dome match with the real Nakamura. Ibushi eliminated Chinsuke when he countered the Boma Ye into a gentle Last Ride Power Bomb. Suguru Miyatake and former member Gota Ihashi were left and fought their hearts out until Ibushi pinned Miyatake and called an end to the audition. Even though Ihashi was the sole survivor, Miyatake was picked as the winner! Ibushi then admitted he made up his mind before the audition even begun and it didn’t even make sense for the audition to happen in the first place! Ihashi complained about the decision but Ibushi knocked him out. Miyatake said he will work hard to live up to the stable’s name. The new Golden☆Storm Riders will challenge for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles on 3rd January.

Sanshiro Takagi made it his duty to return the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title to DDT from the popstar LiLiCo. Problem is she has Bernard Ackah as her bodyguard and he was instructed to bash anyone who got in her way. LiLiCo also got involved in the match when she could. But Takagi played dirty and pulled down Ackah’s shorts to distract him. He then rolled him over with La Magistral Cradle for the victory. LiLiCo tried to escape with the Iron Man Title but she was cut off at every corner by different wrestlers and carried back to the ring. Takagi asked for the belt once more but LiLiCo then attacked him with it! She yelled that she will be the eternal champion but then there was a blackout. When the lights came on Yoshihiko was perched on the top turnbuckle behind her! When she turned around Yoshihiko dove onto her and pinned her to win the title back for DDT! LiLiCo fled in a panic while Ackah apologised to her over and over. Ackah also said he wanted another match with Takagi. He underestimated him and said Takagi fought strong rather than fought dirty. He now understands that he must study more about wrestling to combat Takagi’s style.

Makoto Oishi scored a big victory over Akito, making the DDT Extreme Champion tap out. Obviously this makes Oishi the next challenger for the title. He is fine wrestling Akito in any match Akito can think of, especially if it involves idols.

Once again Kazuki Hirata’s Magnum mask went missing before his match. This time it was Antonio Honda who stole it and did the Magnum TOKYO entrance to make Hirata jealous.

Crazy & President will reunite for “SAITAMA SUPER DDT 2015” to take part in a Super TLC Match! Sanshiro Takagi & Jun Kasai will face two mystery wrestlers in a match that involves 10 Tables, 3 Ladders and 100 Chairs!

Three more DDT wrestlers will turn into gender-swapped characters for the Ring☆Dream web browser game. The new additions are HARASHIMA, Yukio Sakaguchi and Yoshihiko. HARASHIMA and Sakaguchi were both impressed with their characters. Sakaguchi said his one is a good woman while HARASHIMA called his character healthy looking. Yoshihiko’s character is described as a beautiful girl but as you can see above, it’s pretty creepy.

UNION “SHIWASU NO UNION 2014” Results

December 17, 2014

UNION “SHIWASU NO UNION 2014”, 17/12/2014
Shinjuku FACE
292 Fans – No Vacancy

2. Mio Shirai defeated Ryu Gouma with the Figure Four Headscissors (3:59).
3. Madoka (w/ Harumi Tachibana) defeated SAGAT with the Ranhyei (4:01).
4. MEN’S Teioh & Tigers Mask (w/ Hiroshi Fukuda) defeated Daichi & Goro Jr. when Teioh pinned Goro with a Diving Body Attack (10:19).

6. Isami Kodaka & Daichi Kazato defeated Atsushi Aoki & Shibata when Kodaka submitted Shibata with a Modified Manjigatame (13:39).
7. Union MAX Title: FUMA defeated Hikaru Sato (c) with the Sole Butt To The Face (20:18).
*Hikaru Sato fails in V3. FUMA becomes the 4th Union MAX Champion!

We have a new Union MAX Champion and his name is FUMA! For six months Hikaru Sato has held the title and he had done nothing but look down on the Union roster. FUMA came out in new gear and with new music while a lackadaisical Sato threw the belt into the ring during his entrance. It was a tense match but FUMA overcame the odds to win the championship. FUMA told Sato after the match that even though he hated his behaviour he still respects him for his strong performances. FUMA bowed but Sato left without a response.

Isami Kodaka challenged FUMA to an 8-Man Tag Team match for 10th January. It will be Kodaka, Shuji Ishikawa, Seiya Morohashi & Cherry Vs FUMA, Daichi Kazato, SAGAT & Mio Shirai.

Match #5 was filled with big appeal as Kazushi Miyamoto & Seiya Morohashi muscle posed their way to victory over Shuji Ishikawa & Tomoya Kawamura.

Match #4 had people seeing double as Tigers Mask/Atsushi Maruyama appeared as a Hiroshi Fukuda clone! The real Fukuda introduced his clone as the 3rd Generation Mr. Perfect (Fukuda is 1st Gen, MEN’S Teioh is 2nd Gen). Clone Fukuda had trouble keeping his crown and wig in place while he wrestled but he was on the winning team. The real Fukuda said in 2015 he will create more Mr. Perfect clones!

Nobody was happier to see the return of an Idea Pocket Diva to Union than Madoka. He was able to convince Harumi Tachibana to be in his corner as he wrestled SAGAT. Tachibana was there in a race queen costume to provide support and motivation. It ended up working as Madoka defeated SAGAT and eagerly thanked his diva for supporting him. He later said he will continue the diva revolution in pro wrestling.

Ryu Gouma had a challenge for Mio Shirai that was very different from her match with Shuji Ishikawa from last month. Gouma wore a suit in the ring and wanted to face Shirai in a battle of intelligence instead of physical strength. The challenge involved Gouma asking Shirai questions to test her knowledge. For every answer she got wrong Gouma would get to do a wrestling move. He put Shirai into a Waistlock to begin the challenge. The first question was what does the K in UK stand for? She panicked and said Christmas. She was wrong so Gouma put her in a Camel Clutch. The next question was what do the stars on the American flag represent? Shirai said it represents the number of countries America has defeated. She was wrong again and then claimed she hates getting questions about stuff overseas. The third question was who was the author Rashomon? Shirai answered Soseki Natsume and then Akechi Mitsuhide. She was wrong for both and Gouma got the audience to say the right answer, Ryūnosuke Akutagawa. Gouma applied a Manjigatame but Shirai got fed up with the game and fought out of it. She then put Gouma in the dreaded Figure Four Headscissors and made him submit. After the match Gouma claimed he won 3-1 because Shirai got her three questions wrong. He and Shirai then continued to argue over who won the match.

Both Cherry and Ladybeard wrestled in Santa dresses.

Sanshiro Takagi announced that this year was DDT’s 10th year of promoting shows in Hakata. Takagi said next year he wants to have big matches and fill up the entire Hakata Star Lane building.

Happy Motel and Shuten-dōji traded wins in the final two matches. Tetsuya Endo & Antonio Honda defeated KUDO & Masa Takanashi in the semi-main event. The main event was a 4 Way Match that ended when Yukio Sakaguchi pinned Konosuke Takeshita. HARASHIMA almost won the match but his Somato attempt was stopped dead by Shigehiro Irie’s Beast Bomber.

The next match in Michael Nakazawa’s farewell tour was a Falls Count Anywhere match against Kota Ibushi, which meant Nakazawa was fucked no matter what he did. They fought around the arena and Nakazawa was later taped to a flat trolley and rolled acrossed the arena. After Ibushi beat him with the Sit Down Last Ride he requested that he and Nakazawa have a street wrestling match. Nakazawa said it sounds good and they should do it in Singapore, the Philippines or even Vietnam.

Mind games were in full effect in the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles match. Kazuki Hirata entered the ring without his Magnum mask and costume. Out came Gorgeous Matsuno wearing the mask and costume. He even did a little Magnum dance too! The Brahman Brothers brought in their foreign objects which this time included ramen noodles. Matsuno later brought in an Ultimo Dragon mask and pinned Hirata when he blocked Hirata’s La Magistral Cradle. Matsuno afterwards said the belts will remain with him and the Brahmans as they head towards the Saitama Super Arena show.

The mysterious Fish-Man took part in the Infomercial Match against Super Sasadango Machine and Yasu Urano to promote his “Fish-Man Hakata Fireside“ tavern. But after being defeated by Sasadango he was unmasked and revealed to be Batten Tamagawa!

*V4 for Akito.
7. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano when Irie pinned Urano with the Beast Bomber (18:36).

Shigehiro Irie got another small victory over HARASHIMA on their road to their KO-D Openweight Title match. Amon Tsurumi congratulated Irie on a good performance and said he took another step closer towards superiority. Irie said he will absolutely become superior to HARASHIMA as revenge for HARASHIMA beating his friends. Irie wants to win the title and main event Saitama Super Arena!

The DDT Extreme Title was on the line in a Three Complete Match. The champion Akito and challenger Tomomitsu Matsunaga needed to win three times under different circumstances to get the title. They had to win once by pinfall, once by submission and once by ring out. Matsunaga scored first when Akito tapped out to a Scorpion Deathlock. The score was tied when Akito pinned Matsunaga when he applied an Omoplata and turned it into a pinning manoeuvre. Both wrestlers suffered a ring out when Matsunaga gave Akito the Emerald Frosion from the ring apron to the floor outside. Matsunaga needed a pinfall to win and he came close with the Tommy Bomber but he was also wrestling on a bad knee. Akito soon capitalised and caught him in an Arm Clutch Figure 4 Leg Lock to get the submission victory and complete the three victory conditions. After the match they shook hands and Matsunaga wrapped the belt around Akito’s waist. Akito thanked Matsunaga and described him as DDT’s gatekeeper. He also said he feels a pleasant pressure when defending his title and his goal is to defend the belt in Saitama Super Arena.

LiLiCo’s bodyguard Bernard Ackah made easy work out of Kazuki Hirata. After the match Sanshiro Takagi picked up an unconscious Hirata and said Hirata demands a rematch at Korakuen Hall! Amon Tsurumi stepped in and said Hirata is obviously knocked out and Takagi was being unreasonable. Ackah then challenged Takagi to a match at Korakuen. The match was accepted and it was confirmed that LiLiCo will be in attendence with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title.

Four wrestlers passed the Golden☆Storm Riders strict reviews to qualify for their new member audition. DJ Nira, Shun Miyatake, Gota Ihashi & Shunma Katsumata had to wrestle Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki in their first audition. Anyone defeated in the match would be eliminated from the contest but whoever won the match would automatically qualify for the final at the 23/12 Korakuen Hall show. The match was suddenly interrupted when “Subconscious” played over the speakers. However it wasn’t Shinsuke Nakamura, instead it was Chinsuke Nakamura! Chinsuke entered the ring carrying a cardboard IWGP Intercontinental Championship belt and caused the match to fall apart when he hit the referee with the Boma Ye. Amon Tsurumi sarcastically asked if Chinsuke sent in a resume but he was instantly accepted by Ibushi & Sasaki! Chinsuke has qualified for the final audition. He then held the cardboard title up and had a face off with Ibushi. Iyaao!

Michael Nakazawa congratulated Saki Akai on winning the Best Rookie category in this year’s Tokyo Sports Awards. However he insisted he could defeat the “two beasts” Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi on his own. The bell rang and then four seconds later the bell rang again as Owashi pinned Nakazawa with a Big Boot. Nakazawa accepted the loss and said his goodbyes to the Kasukabe audience but Akai slapped him across the face and demanded the match to restart. Nakazawa had little motivation to do the rematch and it showed in his weak attacks. He just wanted the match to end so he could move to Singapore. Suddenly a bunch of people including Shun Miyatake, Daisuke Kiso, Mic Inoue, members of the TV crew and even a Weekly-Pro Wrestling reporter handed Nakazawa their underwear. Nakazawa’s motivation skyrocketed and the underwear powered him up until Takagi and Owashi attacked him. Nakazawa urged Akai to pick up the underwear and unleash a Spirit Bomb on her opponents as he held them back! She reluctantly did the Spirit Bomb but her targets moved out of the way. Nakazawa took the blow and was then pinned with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb.

None of the championship belts were at the show because they were accidentaly packed into the boxes of merchandise being sent to Hakata for tomorrow’s event there. Amon Tsurumi took off his afro and bowed as an apology to the crowd.

All of the wrestlers appeared wearing pyjamas during the show’s opening ceremony. Several of them had stuffed toys or pillows with them.

Hiroshi Fukuda made an unexpected appearance after the main event wearing a white suit. Because he is still recovering from his shoulder injury, he felt he should make it up to the audience by singing “Christmas Eve” by Tatsuro Yamashita.

The finish in the main event saw Soma Takao hitting the Gian And Tonic on Akito. But as the pin was being counted, HARASHIMA hit the Somato from out of nowhere and Akito got the three count on Takao instead.

Isami Kodaka was seconds away from submitting Makoto Oishi with a Modified Armbar but the time expired.

Kazuki Hirata got Kota Ibushi participate with his dancing after they won their match. Ibushi just clapped along and did a backflip at the end.

Kota Umeda scored the first victory of his career in the opener.

He thanked everyone for putting the show together and said Kimura is now watching his friends from heaven. Kazunori Yoshida of Eagle Wrestling announced another tribute show to be held in Tatebayashi Citizen Gymnasium on March 13th next year. MIKAMI gathered everyone in the ring for a commemorative group photo with Kimura’s portrait to close out the show.

The semi-main event was centred around UWF as all four fighters entered to the UWF theme song.

The Battle Royal was originally scheduled to feature 10 wrestlers but it turned out there was a few extra entries in store. One of them was Poison Sawada JULIE coming out of retirement for one night only. Sawada used his Snake Magic to eliminate a couple of wrestlers but his powers wouldn’t work on Kazuhiko Ogasawara. Kintaro Kanemura went on a hot streak when he eliminated Gorgeous Matsuno with the Blast Yama Special and then won by pinning Rikiya Fudo with a Small Package.

Former DDT referee Megumi Grace Asano was the special official for some of the matches.

Akito and Tomomitsu Matsunaga brawled outside the ring while HARASHIMA and Shigehiro Irie got stuck in. The four wrestlers had to be kept apart after the match.

Shuten-dōji scored a win over Happy Motel but Konosuke Takeshita created more tension between the two sides afterwards. Takeshita dared KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi to take his KO-D Tag Team Title belt away from him. He and Sakaguchi had a stare down and had to be separated. Shuten-dōji then had an early toast for when they win the titles.

Michael Nakazawa recognises Shun Miyatake as his successor when he leaves for Singapore next year. To prove it Miyatake fought like Nakazawa during their match right down to stripping off his trunks and wrestling in a thong. Miyatake regretted doing so as it was cold in the arena. Nakazawa however embraced it and went for the Ultimate Venom Arm. Miyatake countered it into a Cradle and got the victory. After the match Nakazawa took out another pair of underwear and offered it to Miyatake. According to Nakazawa it was the underwear he wore in his first ever wrestling match. Miyatake declined them and apologised before leaving.

DJ Nira was very ill during his match with Masa Takanashi. Nira had to be stretchered out from the locker room to the ring on a tatami mat and barely had the strength to stand. However, Nira’s constant fainting inadvertantly made him dodge many of Takanashi’s attacks. Nira yelled he was done pretending and the warm-up was over, then fainted again. Takanashi and referee Daisuke Kiso lifted Nira up off the mat but Nira slipped away from Takanashi’s grip and was accidentally Power Bombed by Kiso! Takanashi got the pin and Nira was placed on the tatami mat to be stretchered back to the locker room.

Gota Ihashi stole Kazuki Hirata’s thunder by doing the Magnum TOKYO entrance and wearing the Magnum mask. A pissed off Hirata later yelled “That’s my dance!” while hammering Ihashi with Elbow Strikes. Hirata got some measure of revenge when he pinned Ihashi with the Sliding Kick.

*T2Hide fail in V2. Gorgeous Matsuno, Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei become the 15th KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!
5. Dark Match Of Truth – Special Singles Match: Shigehiro Irie defeated Daisuke Sasaki with the Beast Bomber (15:12).
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo (c) defeated Makoto Oishi & X = Shiroi Asahi when Endo pinned Oishi with the Sky Twister Press (13:55).
*V3 for Happy Motels.
7. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) defeated Soma Takao with the Somato (20:58).
*V6 for HARASHIMA.

Soma Takao came close but not close enough to take the KO-D Openweight Title away from HARASHIMA. After winning a Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament to become the No. 1 Contender, Takao had trouble in the following weeks proving that he deserved the title shot. However he had full support from the fans when he was showered in red tape during his ring entrance. Unfortunately for him, HARASHIMA was just too good and he put away the plucky challenger with the Somato. HARASHIMA told Takao that it was luck that got him here but he was still talented and strong. But HARASHIMA was stronger. The champion was suddenly interrupted by Shigehiro Irie who came to his friend’s aid. Irie told HARASHIMA he should be ashamed and that he hated seeing HARASHIMA beat his friends Takao and Keisuke Ishii. So Irie will challenge for the title next! Irie said he loves Takao and Ishii. He will fight for the three of them. HARASHIMA said he loves things too, like Akito and Yasu Urano. He was left confused when the audience laughed. The match was made for DDT’s return to Korakuen Hall on 23rd December.

Despite all of the hype and building up of Shiori Asahi as Makoto Oishi’s surprise tag team partner, the two of them just couldn’t win the KO-D Tag Team Titles from Happy Motel. The champions were able to avoid the Cactus Flower and Tetsuya Endo pinned Oishi with the Sky Twister Press. Amon Tsurumi said Happy Motel’s next defence will be against the current strongest challengers in DDT. Out came KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi. KUDO told the champs he will snatch the future away from them. Endo told KUDO they’re no longer the future, they are the now of DDT!

Yukinori Matsui got involved with the Shigehiro Irie Vs Daisuke Sasaki match he officiated. At one point he Suplexed Sasaki into Irie! Later on Irie pinned Sasaki with the Beast Bomber.

LiLiCo appeared in DDT for the first time since winning the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2014”. The singer explained that ever since she won the title she has been scared of being attacked by someone looking to take the belt away from her. So she hired martial artist Bernard Ackah to be her bodyguard. Ackah was in the ring with her wearing a suit and boxing gloves. Kazuki Hirata attempted a sneak attack but was easily dispatched of by Ackah. Sanshiro Takagi picked up an unconscious Hirata and used him like a puppet. “Hirata” challenged Ackah to a match at Kasukabe Hall on 13th December. LiLiCo accepted and said with Ackah as her bodyguard, she will be an eternal champion!

Two matches were announced for “SAITAMA SUPER DDT 2015” next February. Danshoku Dino will take on Michael Nakazawa with special guest singer Shigeru Matsuzaki in Nakazawa’s corner. There will also be a 6-Man Tag Team match between Akebono Army and Yoshihiko Army. Yes, Akebono and Yoshihiko will wrestle each other in Saitama Super Arena! Their partners are to be announced. Don’t worry, Shiroi Asahi will not be one of them.

The clump of hot potatoes that are the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles switched hands again. T2Hide were already at a disadvantage when Sanshiro Takagi was forced to compete with a fractured right heel. But they just weren’t prepared for the weird combination of Gorgeous Matsuno and the Brahman Brothers. A suit case, bowling ball and stop sign were all used in the match by the Brahmans as well as their blinding black mist. The match fell down to Kazuki Hirata and Gorgeous Matsuno and Matsuno surprisingly scored the pin after they traded nearfalls. A furious Hirata demanded a rematch against the “old man” but he was dragged away by Takagi and Toru Owashi. Matsuno said that today was the result of all the hard work he put in the last three years of his life.

Both Kota Ibushi and Michael Nakazawa worked double duty today. First they wrestled their matches in DDT. Nakazawa wrestled in the opening 8-Man Tag Match while Ibushi was part something a little bit different. The show today was sponsored by Wella Professionals hair and beauty products. Ibushi & Shunma Katsumata took on Yasu Urano & Akito and all four were given hair makeovers before the match. Their stylists appeared at ringside to manage and maintain the hairstyles whenever somebody tagged out. Akito and Urano won the match and were given a year’s supply of Wella hair products as a prize. Ibushi later announced that with Kenny Omega moving to New Japan, the Golden☆Storm Riders are now looking for a new member and will hold auditions.

When that was done Ibushi and Nakazawa travelled over to Sumo Hall where they had a shoot boxing exhibition bout against each other. The bout more resembled a pro wrestling match as the two Suplexed and Lariated each other. Ibushi even did a Moonsault out of the ring and then won by knockout with a Power Bomb.

Throughout 2014 Tomomitsu Matsunaga was showing signs of progress. He’s been wrestling in DDT for 7 years and despite having a few tag team championships to his name he’s been mostly a comedy wrestler. Then earlier this year he defeated Kenny Omega in the King of DDT 1st Round. He hasn’t been able to repeat that performance since then but he is getting close after becoming the No. 1 Contender for the DDT Extreme Title. Matsunaga won a 3 Way Match against Masa Takanashi and Keisuke Ishii when he countered Takanashi’s Takatonic into a pinning cradle. Matsunaga is looking forward to finally challenging for a singles title but it is for a belt that Akito currently holds with a tight grip. The title match will happen at Kasukabe Hall on 12th December.

Members of the DNA rookie class competed in the dark match. It’s become quite clear that the former sumo wrestler Kazusada Higuchi is the top prospect after he won the match for his team. He is currently undefeated in his first three matches.

The current World of Stardom Champion, Yoshiko confronted Saki Akai at the merchandise stand before the show began. Yoshiko said she needs a challenger when Stardom runs Korakuen on 23rd December and Akai is who she wants to fight. Akai was taken aback but eventually accepted the challenge. A grumpy Yoshiko also attacked Amon Tsurumi over how he has handled DDT’s relationship with Stardom.

DDT “DNA 1” Results

November 28, 2014

DDT “DNA 1”, 28/11/2014
Kitazawa Town Hall
294 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Shun Miyatake defeated Koju Iwasaki with the Heart Attack (8:23).
2. Shunma Katsumata defeated Dai Suzuki with the Swan Dive X Factor (7:51).
3. Kazusada Higuchi defeated Kota Umeda with a Canadian Backbreaker (11:14).
4. Ryota Nakatsu defeated Tomoya Kawamura with a Reverse Cross Armbreaker (11:29).
5. Kazusada Higuchi & Ryota Nakatsu defeated Shun Miyatake & Shunma Katsumata when Hisguchi pinned Katsumata with the Canadian Nodowa Otoshi (17:35).

DDT New Attitude, or DNA for short, is DDT’s new project based around its rookies and dojo students. Many of them were making their official debut on this show. The winners of the four matches qualified for the tag team main event.

First match was Shun Miyatake Vs Koju Iwasaki. Miyatake has been appearing on DDT’s main shows for the past couple of months trying to prove he is ready to graduate but Amon Tsurumi would constantly turn him down. An injury put a stop to that and this was finally his chance. Miyatake was able to win with a Spear which he calls the Heart Attack.

Next up was Shunma Katsumata Vs Dai Suzuki. Katsumata has been wrestling on the main shows since April. Suzuki was appreciative of the support from the crowd despite losing the match. He said he felt the warmth of the fans when he entered the ring and it gave him encouragement.

Match #3 was sumo wrestler vs kickboxer as Kazusada Higuchi faced Kota Umeda. In this case sumo came out the winner when Higuchi submitted Umeda with the Canadian Backbreaker. Umeda refused to shake hands with Higuchi after the match and kicked his arm away.

The last of the singles matches saw Ryota Nakatsu defeat Union rookie Tomoya Kawamura. The underground martial artist countered Kawamura’s Moonsault into a Cross Armbreaker to achieve victory. Kawamura was pretty embarrassed to lose to a debuting wrestler.

The main event paired off the two senior rookies against the two debuting rookies. Miyatake & Katsumata took on Higuchi & Nakatsu. Katsumata attempted the Swan Dive X Factor but Higuchi caught him in mid-air and gave him the Oklahoma Stampede. He lifted him up for the Canadian Backbreaker but then changed it into the Nodowa Otoshi Choke Slam for the three count.

When the matches were over, Amon Tsurumi gave a speech. He said the only way to determine if the event was a success is if the crowd in attendance enjoyed it. The audience gave a big applause in response. Tsurumi commiserated Kawamura and wished him luck that he wouldn’t rot because of it. He then admitted to Miyatake that he got to debut 100 million years earlier than he expected and he congratulated him. Higuchi had the final words, saying when he retired from sumo wrestling he felt like he had given up his dream. But DDT gave him an opportunity and he appreciates it. Together everybody in DNA will do their best.

The next scheduled DNA shows are 9th January in Shinjuku and 5th February in Kitazawa. In Shinjuku, Miyatake will take on Jun Kasai!
