*V5 for The Golden Lovers.
6. KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi defeated HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito when KUDO pinned Akito with the Diving Double Knee Drop (18:02).

One day after defending the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title in New Japan, Kota Ibushi was able to also defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles with Kenny Omega today. The Golden Lovers earned a 5th successful defence this time knocking off Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi. Omega now wonders if those two were really the strongest challengers available. He wants to face the strongest challengers but also realises that might be bad because he has not been concentrating a lot on the Tag Titles lately. Instead Kenny has been trying to get into the main event scene as a single wrestler.

Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie were pleased with their latest defence of the All Asia Tag Team Titles. They were grateful to go up against a team made up of a DDT ace in MIKAMI and a Union ace in Isami Kodaka.

Tomomitsu Matsunaga had to miss the show due to unknown circumstances. He was replaced by a mysterious local wrestler called Ojoka Kid. He has the same looking body as Matsunaga and also came out to his theme song.

*Cherry fails in V4. Ladybeard becomes the 3rd Fly To Everywhere Champion!
7. Union MAX Title: Hikaru Sato (c) defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with a Shoulder Lock (23:45).
*V1 for Hikaru Sato.

It was Pancrase Vs “USA!” in the main event of today’s Union show. Hikaru Sato put his Union Max Championship on the line against the patriotic American Hiroshi Fukuda. While on paper the match looked one-sided, Fukuda turned out to be no pushover for the champion. Sato brought out the strikes and submissions but ignored the ref’s call to stop attacking Fukuda in the corner. Seiya Morohashi yelled at Sato to back off and the two kept glancing at each other until Fukuda started fighting back. Fukuda’s American style offence was effective going into the late stages of the match and the champ was in trouble when he was put in the Sharpshooter. Sato turned the tables when he countered a Discus Punch into a Shoulder Lock. Sato locked in the move tightly to the point where the referee stepped in and stopped the match in his favour.

Sato looked out among the Union wrestlers to search for his next challenger. He told them that they cannot just eat meat to become great, they have to eat ther vegetables aswell. Shuji Ishikawa approached Sato and challenged him to a title match. He promised to beat Sato and bring the MAX Title back to Union.

Ladybeard is the new Fly To Everywhere Champion after he defeated Cherry in the semi-main event. Cherry was prepared to embarress the challenger by bringing in an elctric shaver. She low blowed Ladybeard and then tried to shave him by force! Ladybeard had to bite Cherry’s arm in order to escape. Cherry did what she could but could not avoid the Nutcracker finisher. Ladybeard screamed with joy when he won the title and went on to call himself a really cute champion. In a backstage interview Ladybeard said he wants Mio Shirai to be his first challenger.

Ryu Gouma spoke about gambling on the World Cup at the beginning of the show. He rambled on about the typical penalties for illegally gambling and also some loopholes to get away with it. His moral of the story is it’s ok to gamble a little bit if you bet with something like a meal. Later in the show he took part in the Idea Pocket sponsored match against Madoka. Gouma had with him ¥30,000 and tried over and over to bribe Madoka to take a dive. Madoka wanted to take it but the referee kept stopping them. The referee eventually Super Kicked Gouma for his attempted bribary and Madoka then pinned him with a Small Package. After the match Idea Pocket announced that Tsubasa Amami has graduated from Union and this was her final show.

Some challenges were thrown out throughout the show. Daichi Kazato challenged Goro Jr. to a match after the 6-Man Tag. FUMA asked Mitomi Masayuki for another match sometime after he beat him in the opener.

472 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Kenny Omega & Daisuke Sasaki defeated Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao when Omega pinned Takao after the Freedom Call (7:50).
2. 4 Vs 3 Handicap Match: MIKAMI, Yukio Sakaguchi, Tetsuya Endo & Michael Nakazawa defeated Hideki Shiota, Sanshiro Takagi & Gota Ihashi when Sakaguchi pinned Shiota with the PK (8:38).
3. King Of DDT – Round 2: Shigehiro Irie defeated Antonio Honda with the Beast Bomber (14:56).
4. King Of DDT – Round 2: KUDO defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Diving Double Knee Drop (16:11).
5. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito defeated Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & HAYATA when Urano pinned Oishi with the Tombstone Piledriver (13:24).
*Yasu Urano wins Makoto Oishi’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.
6. King Of DDT – Round 2: Kota Ibushi defeated Masa Takanashi with the Sit Down Last Ride (12:53).
7. King Of DDT – Round 2: Isami Kodaka defeated Konosuke Takeshita with the Brainbustaaaaahhhhh!!!!! (20:05).

The King of DDT semi-finals are now set. Shigehiro Irie will face KUDO while Kota Ibushi will face Isami Kodaka. Irie’s Beast Bomber has become a very effective finisher in recent months and here it was used to put away Antonio Honda. KUDO made sure that Tomomitsu Matsunaga would not beat him like he did Kenny Omega. Despite losing, Matsunaga now has a new attitude based on his strong performance in the tournament and will make it to the top one step at a time. Ibushi fought against a spirited performance from Masa Takanashi to win his match. Finally Kodaka took a page from El Generico’s book and defeated Konosuke Takeshita with the Brainbustaaaaahhhhh!!!!!

A lottery was held to determine the semi-finals. Each qualifying wrestler had to pull a ball out of a box and whoever picked the same colour would face each other. Oddly enough the resulting matches would have happened anyway if the tournament was organised with a playoff bracket from start to finish.

Makoto Oishi must now regret pulling out of the King of DDT. He left the tournament after winning one of the two remaining Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts. But he waited too long to cash in and wound up losing the contract to Yasu Urano when Urano pinned him in a Six-Man Tag Team match. As a contract holder, Urano now has to worry about whether or not he should cash in on his friend and team mate HARASHIMA. The other contract holder at the moment is Super Sasadango Machine who has done the smart thing and stayed away from the wrestling often, reducing the risk of him losing the contract. When he decides to get his KO-D Title match, only he knows.

The Handicap Match was originally billed as Shiota-gun Vs DDT Sekigun. But Sanshiro Takagi told Hideki Shiota he never had permission to add him to his new unit. So Shiota instead renamed the match the Shiota New Organisation Raising An Army Assessment Match. When asked what the name of his new organisation was, Shiota called it Salt Japan Pro Wrestling.

9. King Of DDT – Round 1: Konosuke Takeshita defeated Daisuke Sasaki with the Touchdown (17:16).

The first round of this year’s King Of DDT threw up some interesting results and match-ups. Antonio Honda submitted Yasu Urano and will face Shigehiro Irie in Round 2. Irie is focused on winning the tournament so he will get a Sumo Hall rematch with HARASHIMA one year after HARASHIMA won the KO-D Title from him. Tomomitsu Matsunaga earned a major upset victory over Kenny Omega. Despite gaining a lot of confidence from the win, Matsunaga’s next opponent will have the advantage. KUDO wasted no time in beating MIKAMI and will be fresh as a daisy tomorrow. Kota Ibushi and Masa Takanashi both won their matches and now their paths will meet. Ibushi doesn’t know what tactics Takanashi will have up his sleeve for their match. Isami Kodaka beat Yukio Sakaguchi and stayed at ringside to watch the main event where the winner would be his next opponent. That man turned out to be Konosuke Takeshita. The young phenom defeated Daisuke Sasaki in the longest match of the night. Afterwards Takeshita said he thinks he proved he can win the tournament.

The show was held in Aijima’s hometown of Omuta and as a surprise his mother appeared before the match to hand him a bouquet. Even with Yoshihiro Takayama as one of his opponents, Aijima scored the victory for his team.

*V1 for Shuten-dōji.

KUDO was able to prevent losing another championship to Smile Squash in the main event of today’s show. Shuten-dōji successfully defended the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles but were told not to have their celebratory drinks because of an alcohol ban in the building. All three members of Shuten-dōji ignored the ban and drank their cans.

The Champion Carnival 2014 winner Takao Omori teamed with Antonio Honda on today’s show. The pre-match video had Honda ask how could he live and spend every day in despair? What could he do? Omori came in and said they will go on the ultimate journey to be wild! After the match, Konosuke Takeshita challenged Omori to a singles bout. Omori offered a handshake but Takeshita rejected it.

Today’s Infomercial Match was sponsored by the Research Institute. The director of the Institute appeared dressed as Akihiro Miwa and announced the wrestlers competing in the mini Royal Rumble had to be dressed like him. Everyone entered the ring to the song “Hymn Of Love” and Kazuki Hirata appeared at the end of the match to dance to the song.

There are some concerns in DDT over the recent changes happening to All Japan. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie are the current All Asia Tag Team Champions but the status of those titles are currently unknown. Ishii wants the belts to be defended in DDT and thinks they should still be active. His reasoning is the championship is not created by All Japan so it shouldn’t be effected by the company’s problems. He and Irie decided they will defend the belts on 22nd June even though they do not yet have permission to do so.

Falls Count Anywhere Captain’s Punishment Death Match: Jun Kasai (C), Hiroshi Fukuda, Emi Sakura & DJ Nira defeated Sanshiro Takagi (C), Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Michael Nakazawa (26:40).
a. Sanshiro Takagi (C) pinned Hiroshi Fukuda with a Stunner (0:12).

e. Michael Nakazawa pinned Hiroshi Fukuda with the Ultimate Venom Arm (12:24)
f. Hiroshi Fukuda pinned Sanshiro Takagi (C) with the Perfect Plex (26:40).

DDT teamed up with girl group BiS for a combined concert and Anywhere Pro Wrestling match. The rainy weather in the theme park set the scene for the show’s storyline. After BiS advertised their final concert to be held in July, Sanshiro Takagi and his team approached the stage and interrupted the performance. Takagi wanted to put a stop to the concert. Hiroshi Fukuda came to the rescue and was joined by Emi Sakura and DJ Nira, who both had tickets for the show. Jun Kasai also showed up because he has history with BiS. He was the cornerman for BiS member Pour Lui when she wrestled at Sumo Hall for DDT last year. Takagi called in back up and out came Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi and Michael Nakazawa. An 8-Man Tag match was decided there and then but with a stipulation attached. Kasai and Takagi became the captains of their team and the match would only end when one captain pinned the other. For every other result, BiS would get to perform a song whenever Kasai’s team won a fall and a BiS member would be punished whenever Takagi’s team won a fall.

The match began on the stage and Takagi immediately pinned Fukuda with a Stunner. He decided to punish one of the BiS girls by writing on her face with a marker. The match restarted near a rollercoaster where Sakura embarrassed Nakazawa into submission by pulling down his shorts and tying him into a ball with them. BiS performed the song “Mylxxx”. The match then went over to the Space Shot ride where Fukuda was pinned again. A BiS member was forced to take a ride in the Space Shot where she was launched 60m into the air. Kasai won the next fall by putting Nakazawa through a table with the Pearl Harbour Splash. As a result BiS got to perform “Spell Of The Sun” while riding on a merry go round. Fukuda once again lost a fall after Nakazawa took him down with the Ultimate Venom Arm. Nakazawa then decided Pour Lui should be given the Ultimate Venom Arm too! Lui got her revenge when Kasai gave her a barbed wire baseball bat. She took out her frustrations on Takagi’s team with the bat, even striking Dino in the rear end with it. Kasai hit Takagi with the bat and Fukuda finally got his moment when he pinned Takagi with the Perfect Plex, winning the match for his team! Takagi admitted defeat and BiS performed one more song to end the show.
