1. No DQ Match: Danshoku Dino defeated Konosuke Takeshita with the Gay-do Clutch (8:22).

Danshoku Dino had Konosuke Takeshita go through a series of dark matches before they could have their No DQ Match. Takeshita fought Makoto Oishi to a time limit draw, then beat DJ Nira afterwards. Takeshita wound up hurting his knee but had to fight Oishi again. He was about to submit Oishi with the Walls Of Takeshita when Dino ran into the ring and attacked Takeshita for the DQ. A chair was used often in the No DQ match and at one point Takeshita had Dino beat with a German Suplex but the referee was knocked unconscious. When Takeshita checked on the ref Dino rolled him over with the Gay-do Clutch. That was when the ref recovered and counted the pin, giving Dino the victory. Dino and Oishi attacked Takeshita after the match but they were then chased off by Antonio Honda and DJ Nira.

– One Count Match: Antonio Honda defeated Daisuke Sasaki with a Sunset Flip (23:07).

The Wasabi Éclair Death Match involved a wrestler having to eat an éclair everytime his opponent kicks out of a pin at two. There were five éclairs but one of them was filled with wasabi. Whoever ate the Wasabi Éclair would be the loser. Throughout the match Antonio Honda and Daisuke Sasaki ate two éclairs each and felt no discomfort. Honda knocked down Sasaki with a Bionic Elbow and went for the pin but Sasaki kicked out. Honda ate the final éclair and immediately ran out of the ring looking for a bathroom so he could wash the wasabi out of his mouth. Honda was able to recover and win the final fall when he countered a Hurricanrana into a Sunset Flip.

6. DDT Extreme Title – 3 Times Fall Match: Masa Takanashi defeated Danshoku Dino (c) with a Leg Roll Clutch (13:48).

7. KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano when KUDO pinned Urano with the Diving Double Knee Drop (16:13).

Akito found himself at a crossroads now that he is out of the KO-D Openweight Title picture. He could have gone back to teaming with Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi but he instead decided to do something new to become more powerful. What that was he didn’t reveal until after the main event. He approached the victorious Shuten-dōji with a can of beer in his hand. But just when it looked like he was about to have a toast with them he instead sprayed the beer in Masa Takanashi’s face! Akito then walked over to HARASHIMA and said they could make many dreams come true if they teamed together. HARASHIMA welcomed him to the team and he told Yasu Urano it was pretty nifty that Akito wanted to join them.

The DDT Extreme Title was up for grabs in a 3 Times Fall Match. The goal of the match is to pin your opponent for three seconds in a row. The catch is it did not have to happen in the same pinning attempt. For example at the start of the match Masa Takanashi quickly cradled Danshoku Dino for a two count. If Takanashi pinned Dino again he would just need a one count to win since he would have scored 3 seconds in a row. However quickly afterwards Dino pinned Takanashi for a two count, so Dino’s pin score was set back to zero while Takanashi was now in danger of losing. Takanashi was able to pin Dino to win the champiosnhip with a straight three count (pun not intended) when he countered the Gay-do Clutch into a Leg Roll Clutch. The new Extreme Champion then “honored” the former champ by calling him a “dumb bastard” and an “ugly fucking loser”. Makoto Oishi came to Dino’s aid and challenged Takanashi to a title match. Amon Tsurumi booked the match for Nagoya on 25th May. Oishi then said he wanted it to be the return of the Idol Lumberjack Death Match! Takanashi accepted and said he would have Emi Sakura on his side. Oishi mentioned she’s too mature to count as an idol but whatever.

Michael Nakazawa had a mountain to climb as he took on the no nonsense badass Minoru Suzuki. Nakazawa was convinced he could win and tried his best, he even attempted to summon his fighting spirit by getting into a chop battle. Suzuki wasn’t impressed and easily trapped Nakazawa in different submission holds. Every time Nakazawa was put in a hold he yelled “Impossible!” and wanted to give up. But Suzuki didn’t want the match to end so soon and he let go of his opponent just so he could apply more submissions. Suzuki eventually choked out Nakazawa with a Sleeper and was going to do the Gotch-Style Piledriver until Nakazawa tapped out before he was lifted off his feet. Suzuki didn’t care and he lifted up Nakazawa for the move until Yukinori Matsui stepped in and stopped him. When Nakazawa regained consciousness he asked Suzuki if they could team together. Suzuki shook Nakazawa’s hand but refused to let go. If Nakazawa wants to team with him so much then he’ll do it! In three months time they will team together. During those three months he’ll be training very hard and he wants Nakazawa to do the same so by the time they team up Nakazawa won’t be what he is now but he will instead become a hybrid wrestler! Suzuki already ordered Nakazawa to begin his first training session by doing 100 push ups right there in the ring. Nakazawa complained but Suzuki yelled that he summoned the demon instructor and must do what he says. Nakazawa could only do 10 push ups before collapsing. It’s going to be a long road ahead for him.

The Falls Count Anywhere Match was chaos. First of all, Kazuki Hirata did not appear with his team mates when they entered the ring. The match began with Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi suffering a 3-on-2 Handicap disadvantage until Hirata finally appeared in the crowd dancing to Magnum TOKYO’s theme song. When he entered the ring, Owashi stopped the dancing by Shoulder Blocking his partner. Takagi dragged Kota Ibushi out of the ring and then attacked him with a kewpie doll. Ibushi defended himself by twisting Takagi’s arm over and over. Hirata threw Kenny Omega into a closing elevator and turned around thinking he was now gone. The elevator opened up and Kenny reappeared to School Boy Hirata for a nearfall. Takagi and Daisuke Sasaki brawled over to a place selling adult DVDs and they had a duel using the DVDs as swords. Ibushi got a bicycle!!! He cycled into Hirata’s crotch while Omega and Sasaki held him in place. A box of posters was then brought in and used to great effect. Ibushi did his best Steve Blackman impression and attacked Hirata with the rolled up posters. Omega then somehow used a poster to power up his Hadouken launching Hirata into Ibushi’s German Suplex. Omega then placed the cardboard box over Hirata’s head and with Sasaki performed the PK Heart to win the match. Afterwards Takagi talked about Minoru Suzuki training somebody as useless as Michael Nakazawa. Suzuki then walked out with Nakazawa and forced him to wheelbarrow down to the ring. Suzuki said he can turn a useless dickwad into a hybrid wrestler in three months. He then lifted up Nakazawa for a Gotch-Style Piledriver and forced him to do push ups from that position.

Danshoku Dino passed a message on to Guanchulo from his mother. Guanchulo wanted his mom to attend his final show for DDT on 20th May but according to her message she will be visiting China on that date. However, she will send another message that will be shown to Guanchulo on the 20th.

Shun Miyatake was again told he will not debut properly if he keeps losing so easily in his exhibition matches.

Akitoshi Saito will compete on the 25th May show. Danshoku Dino expressed interest in having a match with him that night.

The line-up for King Of DDT 2014 was revealed. The winner of the 16-man tournament gets a main event KO-D Openweight Title shot at Sumo Hall on 17th August. This year there will be three qualifying matches for tournament spots. Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Daisuke Sasaki, Akito, Soma Takao, Kazuki Hirata and Tetsuya Endo will have to wrestle each other in matches that will take place on the 17th, 25th and 29th of May. The rest of the field are Makoto Oishi, Keisuke Ishii, Konosuke Takeshita, MIKAMI, Masa Takanashi, Yasu Urano, Yukio Sakaguchi, Danshoku Dino, Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi and the loser of KUDO Vs HARASHIMA. Shigehiro Irie will not enter because he has a Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

Cherry announced the main event of her 10th Anniversary show on 1st June will be her against Aja Kong! They previously had a singles match on 13th November 2011 for Cherry’s “FANTASY ILLUSION” show. Cherry wrestled that match with a broken jaw so she was given a special rule where Jaiko Ishikawa was allowed to interfere and fight Kong. This time Cherry is in full health and she wants to face Kong under normal circumstances. Cherry also decided she will team with Danshoku Dino for her mixed tag match against Ladybeard & Saki Akai in Union on 18th May.

Antonio Honda announced a new match for his Anniversary show also on 1st June. It will be HARASHIMA, Riho & DJ Nira Vs Yuji Hino, Emi Sakura and The Great Kojika.

Two days ago Gorgeous Matsuno challenged Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie to an All Asia Tag Team Titles match. Matsuno approached Amon Tsurumi at the start of the show wondering why the match was non-title. Tsurumi said he does not control the championship, All Japan does. Matsuno demanded Tsurumi to call the All Japan office right there and then. Tsurumi did and the call went as follows: “It’s DDT, can the All Asia… Oh, my bad.” The call was cut off and Matsuno left the ring empty handed.

Later in the show, Ishii & Irie quickly beat Matsuno & Sanshiro Takagi. After the match Matsuno again went to Tsurumi demanding a title shot. This time he had a piece of paper that allegedly came from the PWF President, Dory Funk Jr. The letter said that Funk has given approval for the Non Asia Tag Team Titles to not be defended. That explanation was good enough for Tsurumi and the match restarted. Ishii & Irie then beat Matsuno & Takagi again to achieve their first non-defence.

6. KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi defeated HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Konosuke Takeshita when Sakaguchi submitted Urano with the Cobra Clutch (17:13).

Masa Takanashi called out Danshoku Dino after the main event and said he will take the DDT Extreme Title from him.

Speaking of Dino, Tetsuya Endo swore payback on him before their match. Endo, who admits to being a virgin, is mad that Dino was his first kiss and he can never forget that. Endo’s goal is to know reach the top of DDT so he can then find the ideal partner for his first time. In the match itself Endo missed the Sky Twister Press and Dino took advantage with the Sliding Dino, a Sliding D variation where instead of elbowing the opponent in the face, he slides in for a kiss instead. Dino then finished off Endo with the Danshoku Driver.

For Match #4 Sanshiro Takagi once again asked for the bout to be fought under Lucha Libre rules. However, Daisuke Sasaki then asked if the match could be Falls Count Anywhere instead. Unable to pick either, both teams decided to use both rules resulting in a Lucha Libre Anywhere match. Meanwhile Kota Ibushi has been feeling stressed lately due to his busy schedule with both DDT and New Japan. But when the match left the ring and wound up outside the building, he was given fireworks to deal with the stress. Ibushi relieved his stress by shooting the fireworks at his opponents.

Kodaka then kicked Imanari in the head to win the match. Kodaka then told Ohka he would face him anytime, even right there in Miyagi. But Ohka gathered his troops and left ringside defeated.

Masa Takanashi taunted Kota Ibushi after the match for thinking the Lovers were going to win. Sakaguchi simply said “Today we won the belts. Kanpai!” and the new champs celebrated with a drink.

Even though he lost his match today, Gorgeous Matsuno demanded Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie to give him an All Asia Tag Team Title match on the 6th May Yamagata show.

The wrestlers’ bus was delayed by Golden Week traffic and only arrived 20 minutes after the building doors opened for the fans. The show was scheduled to begin with a Triple Threat match but only Konosuke Takeshita and Tomomitsu Matsunaga entered the ring. Just when they were about to start wrestling, Michael Nakazawa finally appeared yelling “Wait a minute!” and he rushed to the ring so the planned match can go ahead. Takeshita pinned him in 8 seconds with a Dropkick. They agreed to restart the match and Takeshita eventually pinned Nakazawa again.

9. Ganbare☆Martial Arts Open Tournament – Final: Tatsuhito Takaiwa defeated Shota by Knockout with the Death Valley Bomb (10:38).

This show was built around the Ganbare☆Martial Arts Open Tournament, pitting 8 fighters with different styles against each other in a playoff. Matches could be won by pinfall, submission, a 10 count KO or a 10 count outside the ring. In the first round Ken Ohka (Pro Wrestling) defeated Megane (Taekwando), Shota (American Wrestling) defeated Shibata Maeda (Mixed Martial Arts) and Yuki Shizuku (Amateur Wrestling) defeated Gorikiko (Judo). One of the unknown fighters invited to compete declined to participate, allowing Jr. Heavyweight wrestler Tatsuhito Takaiwa (Tai Chi) a bye into the semi finals. In the semis Ohka and Shota were both counted outside of the ring leading to a draw. The match was immediately restarted and Shota dove onto Ohka from the apron. The two were in danger of getting counted out again until Shota entered the ring before the ref counted ten. Shota celebrated his victory by getting the audience to chant “Yes!” over and over. Taikawa defeated Shizuku by submission to meet Shota in the final. Takaiwa then knocked out Shota with his patented Death Valley Bomb to win the tournament. Taikawa offered a handshake to Shota after the match but instead knocked him down with a Lariat. He took the mic and said he never wanted to be in the tournament and does not know Tai Chi. He called Ganbare☆Wrestling a scum company for lying about him. Ohka confronted Taikawa and challenged him to a match on 1st June.

Survival Tobita got his revenge on Dr. Kiriko in a Medical Human Dog Food Death Match, which I think was just a fancy name for a regular old death match involving medical items. The match was officiated by a special doctor known as Dr. Lin. Kiriko did some nefarious stuff to try and beat Tobita, even giving him an examination during the match. This backfired when he struck Tobita’s knee with a hammer and unintentionally got a Low Blow in return. Kiriko turned the tables and intended to kill Tobita with an injection but Dr. Lin came to the rescue and gave Kiriko the Rainmaker. Tobita followed up with a Piledriver to get the three count. As punishment for losing, Kiriko was unmasked to reveal he was Atsushi Maruyama, the former Tigers Mask from Osaka Pro! Maruyama then acted like he was saved from darkness saying that the school route he used to be scared of is now gone, the rain has stopped and the sun is starting to rise again. He also said he will not return to Ganpuro because of his actions.

kudo-defeats-akito

It was a busy afternoon in DDT with a lot going on. KUDO fought tooth and nail to keep his KO-D Openweight Title, first defeating Akito in a main event match that lasted almost 25 minutes. Akito tried to lock in the Triangle Scorpion to make KUDO tap just like he did in Saitama just over two weeks ago but the champion escaped the hold and delivered a Buzzsaw Kick in retaliation. Akito survived the barrage of kicks but eventually stayed down after the Diving Double Knee Drop. Victorious, KUDO said it was an interesting match and he wants to have more interesting matches because he will continue to stand in the centre of DDT. He offered a handshake to Akito but it was refused. That was not all KUDO had to put up with at the end of the show.

urashimakudo-contracts

Two of the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts changed hands today. HARASHIMA pinned Tetsuya Endo to gain possession of a contract. He approached KUDO at the end to challenge him to a title match. HARASHIMA said he was not going to take the cowardly route and instead will cash in his contract in Nagoya on 25th May. Yasu Urano won the other contract by pinning a possessed Antonio Honda in the Battle Royal earlier in the show. He also told KUDO he wanted to cash in and he was going to do it right now! The impromptu KO-D Title Match then began with Urano targeting KUDO’s. But despite the well prepared gameplan, KUDO was able to withstand Urano’s offense and fight back. In the end, two Buzzsaw Kicks put away Urano and KUDO was still the KO-D Champion. Urano left the ring pissed off and he tore apart the UraShimKudo shirt he was wearing. Amon Tsurumi praised KUDO for defending the title twice in one night and urged the remaining contract holders not to cash in today. He confirmed KUDO Vs HARASHIMA will take place on 25/5 as long as HARASHIMA still has his contract. HARASHIMA said he was looking forward to winning the title back because he is the strongest. KUDO then said if HARASHIMA is the strongest challenger, then defeating him will make KUDO strongest in the truest sense. KUDO then held a toast with his Shuten-dōji teammates.

kenny-fatality

The Golden Lovers went into their KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title match with a big advantage. It turned out one of their opponents was badly injured. Was it Danshoku Dino? No. Makoto Oishi? Nope, it was Yoshihiko! The most dangerous member of the challenging trio entered the ring with its left arm heavily wrapped in bandages. Kenny Omega & Daisuke Sasaki took advantage immediately by pouncing Yoshihiko. What followed was one of the most violent sights to ever take place in a DDT ring as Omega and Sasaki literally tore Yoshihiko apart! Kota Ibushi had to look away as his partners dismantled Yoshihiko limb from limb.But fear not because Yoshihiko cannot be killed that easily. Just when it looked liked the Golden Lovers had the match won, the arena lights switched off and “TOKYO GO!” played over the speakers. Out came Kazuki Hirata and with him was a revived Yoshihiko wearing a Magnum TOKYO mask! Yoshihiko cleared the ring and was a house of fire until Ibushi got rid of Hirata with a Missile Dropkick. Despite the odds evening out, the Golden Lovers were able to win by delivering the PK Mind Ω to both Oishi and Yoshihiko at the same time.

drift-allasia

The big news of the night was Keisuke Ishii and Shigehiro Irie winning the All Asia Tag Team Championship! The two members of Team Dream Futures got their second title shot against Jun Akiyama & Yoshinobu Kanemaru after Ishii spent weeks following Akiyama begging for another match. The persistance paid off as Akiyama finally agreed and the match was booked in DDT. Even with the homeside advantage Ishii & Irie were the underdogs against a team with a combined 39 years of experience. And you know, a whole bunch of All Japan and Pro Wrestling NOAH championships between them. But Ishii & Irie shocked everyone by winning the titles. The champs had things in control for the final moments. Kanemaru dropped Ishii with the Deep Impact and Brainbuster but Ishii would either kick out or be saved by Irie everytime. Akiyama tried to give Irie the Exploder Suplex but Irie did what he could to block him. Then as Kanemaru lifted Ishii up for another Brainbuster, Ishii counters it into a Small Package for the three count! Amon Tsurumi was exceedingly happy to see Ishii & Irie win the titles and congratulated them for holding the same titles Footloose did. Irie said it was a dream for him and Ishii to win the titles. Ishii said it was a frustrating journey but thanks to the fans and to Drift for their support he and Irie were able to do it. They now want to defend the titles over and over in DDT.

ironman-1000-champ

It was now or never for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. The reigning and defending 999th champion Sanshiro Takagi wanted to retire the belt so it would never have a 1,000th champion. The belt’s creator Poison Sawada JULIE was able to stop him by claiming the belt’s strap contains an ancient treasure map that appears when roasted with an Inca lighter. Takagi agreed he would put the belt up for one more defence. If he wins, the belt is retired and he gets the lighter. When he entered the ring for the Battle Royal he said he wanted it to end quickly because he wanted to go find the treasure and use it to buy luxury watches. He was cut off by video footage of Poison Sawada passing bottles of S-Cells to several wrestlers. The S-Cells gave the wrestlers snake magic but also put them under Sawada’s control. Sawada’s goal? Get the title back from Takagi by any means necessary! Takagi fought through Sawada’s minions as well as the other wrestlers involved in the Battle Royal and became the last man standing. After the match Takagi told Sawada he was not a fool. There is no ancient treasure and the Inca lighter was something Sawada just bought in a shop for one hundred yen. Takagi wasn’t going to wait any longer to retire the championship and the ceremony begun. Sawada grabbed the belt and yelled “I have to challenge you!” The two struggled until Sawada knocked over Takagi with the belt falling on top of him. All of a sudden Yukinori Matsui slapped the mat three times. The Iron Man Title belt pinned Takagi. The Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship itself became the new champion and will go down in history as the 1,000th Champion!

akiyama-ironman

The belt clearly spent the rest of the day celebrating to the point of exhaustion. It was found unconscious backstage at the end of the show. Jun Akiyama entered the room for a post match interview and sat down with his arm leaning on the belt. Yukinori Matsui suddenly jumped into view and started to count but Akiyama raised his arm at two and told Matsui to leave. When Matsui went away he unknowingly leant onto the belt again. This time Kyohei Wada appeared and he counted to three. Jun Akiyama is the new Iron Man Champion! Wada handed the belt to the new champion but at this point Akiyama was just annoyed by everything going on around him.

katsumata-guanchulo

The opening match had both good news and bad. The good news was Shunma Katsumata debuted and got a good reaction from the crowd. The bad news was Guanchulo wrestled his final match in Korakuen Hall before he returns home to Chile. He and Katsumata became friends during his stay and he was happy he got to team with him before he leaves.

miyatake-sandwich

DDT’s other rookie Shun Miyatake did not have a good day. He wrestled the dark match hoping to impress Amon Tsurumi enough so he could get a proper debut match. Tsurumi didn’t like what he saw and told Miyatake it wasn’t going to happen yet. Miyatake threw a fit and complained that he will forever be a rookie.

nakazawa-suzuki

Michael Nakazawa will face Minoru Suzuki in Shinjuku FACE on 9th May. Nakazawa actually asked for this match to happen because of what happened four months ago. Nakazawa defeated Sanshiro Takagi at “NEW YEAR NEW YEAR SPECIAL!” back in January thanks to some help from Suzuki. Nakazawa begged Suzuki to coach him but it was rejected and downgraded into Suzuki maybe doing something with Nakazawa down the line. Four months later and Nakazawa now wants to fight Suzuki. Nakazawa is certain he is going to win. He’s just not sure how.

The annual King Of DDT tournament returns this June. The first round will take place in Fukuoka on 14th June, the second round will be in Osaka on 15th June and the semi-finals and final will be in Korakuen Hall on 29th June. This year 16 wrestlers will enter the tournament and the first round pairings will be revealed on 29th May.

*HIROKI & Yasu Urano fail in V3. World Men’s Club become the 17th UWA World Tag Team Champions!
7. Hikaru Sato defeated FUMA with the V1 Armlock (18:54).

FUMA put up a good fight in the main event but fell to Hikaru Sato’s strong submission game. Sato taunted Union afterwards saying the company really is a resting place for a “premium toy” like himself. Isami Kodaka confronted him but not until after he shook hands with FUMA and gave him some words of encouragement, saying he saw power in FUMA. He then called out both Sato and Ganbare☆Wrestling for their recent treatment of Union. He cannot lose to them and let down the rest of the roster.

The UWA World Tag Team Titles changed hands with Hiroshi Fukuda & MEN’s Teioh winning the belts from HIROKI & Yasu Urano. Teioh took offence from Urano when he questioned his condition and said he was passed his peak. Teioh, who was recently hospitalised proved Urano wrong by submitting him with the Spinning Toe Hold. Both Fukuda and Teioh celebrated by doing the World Men’s Club pose with their new championships while the fans chanted “USA!”

The Union Vs Ganpuro war continued with both sides getting one win each on tonight’s show. Shuji Ishikawa defeated Yumehito Imanari with little effort, knocking him out with a Knee Strike. Ken Ohka then defeated Cherry in a bout that felt like a grudge match. However Ohka told Cherry after the match that they are alike. Ohka fights hard to make Ganbare☆Wrestling a major company while Cherry fights hard to prove a woman her age can make it as a wrestler. Ohka then challenged Ishikawa to make their final battle on 18th May a death match!
