*V3 for Cherry.
7. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka defeated Ivan Markov (c) with the Zan Isamu Leg (19:00).
*Ivan Markov fails in V2. Isami Kodaka becomes the 2nd Union MAX Champion!

The Union MAX Title is finally around the waist of a Union wrestler. Isami Kodaka had little time to recover from a successful BJW Death Match Title defence against Ryuji Ito to challenge for Union’s new championship held by the Russian Ivan Markov. The big turning point of the match was Kodaka countering a Super Power Bomb onto a stack of chairs outside the ring. Kodaka blocked the move and instead sent Markov into the chairs with a Hurricanrana. Isami won with the Isamu Zan Leg but offered a handshake to Markov after the match. He called Markov a strong wrestler who can go home to Russia proud of his performance. Markov shook his hand and afterward disbanded World Men’s Club.

Hikaru Sato stepped up to be the first challenger for Kodaka. He introduced himself as a Pancrase fighter who chose to rest in Union for a while. Kodaka took offence and told Sato Union is not a station so he should go somewhere else to rest. Kodaka accepted the challenge but FUMA then asked him why Sato got a shot so easily? Kodaka told him he will prove to Sato that Union is not a resting place.

Hikaru Sato’s entrance music tonight was “You Spin Me Round” by Dead Or Alive. Just wanted to point that out.

Cherry put away Mio Shirai to keep her Fly To Everywhere Title after weeks of bitchy comments between the two. Cherry told Mio that she was able to beat her because of how important the championship is. Ladybeard suddenly appeared after the match. He said he likes to wear women’s clothing so he wants to wrestle more with women in Union. He promises to bring a cute Japanese friend with him to wrestle at Union’s show in Korakuen Hall next month. He had to convince Naomi Susan that his friend really is a woman for her to consider his request.

Hiroshi Fukuda and HIROKI had a falling out over their 6-Man Tag loss to the Union Sekigun. Fukuda blamed HIROKI for not listening to a highly skilled wrestler such as himself. HIROKI in turn criticised Fukuda for cheating and told him he doesn’t understand wrestling. HIROKI brought in his UWA Tag Team Title and dared Fukuda to challenge for it. Fukuda said he would and brought in MEN’s Teioh to be his partner. HIROKI then introduced his partner and the title co-holder Yasu Urano! The title match was set for 27th April.

Ganbare☆Wrestling stepped up its attacks on Union with Ken Ohka leading his team to ambush Mitomi Masayuki in the opener. Seiya Morohashi & Daichi Kazato came to the rescue and the opening match ended in a double count out. The brawling between both sides continued so it turned into a 6-Man Tag No DQ match. The Ganbare team came out on top when Ohka pinned Kazato with the Spear Of Fire. Ohka then challenged Union to an Elimination Match in Kitizawa on 6th April and demanded Shuji Ishikawa to be included on Union’s team. Ishikawa accepted and another brawl broke out.

5e. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere 4: Super Sasadango Machine (15:38).
6. KO-D Openweight Title: KUDO defeated HARASHIMA (c) with the Diving Double Knee Drop (19:54).
*HARASHIMA fails in V7. KUDO becomes the 47th KO-D Openweight Champion!

DDT celebrates its 17th Anniversary with a new KO-D Openweight Champion! After seven months of dominating the main event scene, HARASHIMA was finally knocked off his throne by his former ally KUDO. The new champion gloated about how his win was the result of him leaving UraShimaKudo and he would wait for a rematch anytime. HARASHIMA and Yasu Urano glared at KUDO but both left. With the former champion out of the way, KUDO now has a whole host of new challengers ahead.

The annual free for all that is the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal returned with six prizes on the line. A KO-D Title shot at Korakuen Hall on 29th April was the prize to the winner of the Royal Rumble portion of the match. The other portion was a Ladder Match with five contracts hanging above the ring, four of them with smiley faces and one with a skull on it. Tetsuya Endo, Masa Takanashi, Kazuki Hirata and Super Sasadango Machine each grabbed a smiley face contract, giving them a KO-D Title shot whenever they want. Guanchulo got the skull contract which turned out to be the right to challenge his favourite wrestler to a match. Akito last eliminated Konosuke Takeshita to win the Rumble match and get next month’s title shot. At the end of the show Akito told KUDO that there will be no more HARASHIMA’s challenging him because he will win the belt. The current generation on top in DDT will not last forever and he is here to be the future.

Guanchulo cashed in his contract and decided to have a match with Kikutaro. The match will take place on 29th March. The other contracts can be cashed in at any show until 2nd August. But just like last year, contracts can change hands if the holder is pinned or submitted in any match held inside Japan. Amon asked if anyone was going to cash in their contract before the April Korakuen show. Endo said he wants to cherish the contract because it’s his first time, so he will not cash it in yet. Sasadango also declined because he wants to train for his title match. Takanashi said he will not betray his “big brother” and will not challenge KUDO. Hirata was the only person who said he will cash in his contract at Korakuen next month.

Retired DDT wrestler Atsuo Sawada was a guest at the show and spoke about the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title that he originally created 14 years ago. He said it was amazing that the championship is close to crowning its 1,000th champion. The 999th champion Sanshiro Takagi knew all too well about this since he was chased by Gorgeous Matsuno and Gota Ihashi throughout the show. During his speech celebrating DDT’s 17th Anniversary, Takagi announced he was sealing the Iron Man Title. Takagi said 999 was a nice number for the title lineage to end and he was also sick of wrestlers constantly attacking him. Sawada protested because he created the title to be defended all the time and to be won by any wrestler or thing. Takagi tried to convince Sawada to accept the decision by comparing the number of title reigns to Galaxy Express 999 but eventually gave up. Amon Tsurumi then announced that the title will be defended in Kasukabe Hall on 12th April.

Despite losing all three matches in their trial series, Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga finally impressed Amon Tsurumi with their performance. Their KO-D Tag Team Title defeat to the Golden Lovers got Tsurumi to say “Michael & Matsunaga did real good!” Kota Ibushi called both wrestlers strong in the post-match interview but he and Kenny Omega also pointed out that there are no immediate challengers for them to face next.

The Monster Army had its final battle and for the occasion Antonio Honda asked the opposing team if they could drop their guard so the entire Army could do a surprise attack one more time. After the match Honda said the unit will live on in his breast. His nipple to be exact.

Keisuke Ishii has been left feeling depressed after he and Soma Takao failed to win the All Asia Tag Team Titles in All Japan last Tuesday. That match was Ishii’s second chance to win the belts and he came up short again. He considered giving up the challenge and no longer chase after the belts. Amon Tsurumi encouraged Ishii to not give up and if Ishii couldn’t win the belts with Takao then he should try again with Shigehiro Irie. He instructed Ishii to record a video of himself asking for another title match and to send the video to Jun Akiyama.

New trainees Shunma Katsumata and Shun Miyatake fought to a five minute draw in a pre-show exhibition. Afterwards Tsurumi announced that Katsumata will have his debut wrestling match on the next Korakuen show on 29th April. Miyatake asked when he was going to debut. Amon was surprised by the question and told Miyatake that he is 100 years too early to even talk about having a debut.

DDT will get a new show on Samurai! TV soon. The show is called DDT Wrestling Banzai \(^o^)/.

0. Exhibition Match: Kazuki Hirata defeated Shun Miyatake with an Elevated Crab Hold (7:29).
1. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Lucha Libre Rules: Sanshiro Takagi (c) & Toru Owashi defeated Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki when Takagi pinned Honda with La Magistral Cradle (8:58).
*V1 for Sanshiro Takagi.
2. Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Kota Ibushi & MIKAMI when Matsunaga pinned MIKAMI with a Ground Cobra Twist (8:53).

4. Shigehiro Irie defeated Tetsuya Endo with the Beast Bomber (10:34).
5. KUDO, Masa Takanashi & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito when KUDO pinned Urano with the Backspin Kick (17:44).

The card got a minor reshuffle when Gota Ihashi suffered a sudden fever and had to be pulled off the show. MIKAMI took his place in the tag team match with Kota Ibushi against Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga. MIKAMI’s original opponent Kazuki Hirata got to face trainee Shun Miyatake in an exhibition bout. Amon Tsurumi was impressed with the trainee’s performance and told him he will have another exhibition match on the 21st March Korakuen Hall show.

Shigehiro Irie has added the Axe Bomber to his repertoire. He calls it the Beast Bomber.

A few days before their All Asia Tag Team Title match in All Japan, the Drift team of Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao faced Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi. Dino made fun of his opponents’ title match by saying it was a small match. Dino & Oishi announced they have a new double team move they call the Anal Dunk. They also claim to have championships that are more important than the All Asia belts. They have the Interim Eurasia Tag Team Championships! Ishii & Takao no sold their claim and attacked them to start the match. Dino & Oishi used the Anal Dunk, which involves Dino lying on his stomach with his rear end exposed and Oishi slamming the victim’s head into Dino’s ass. Ishii & Takao survived the Anal Dunk and were able to win the match. Dino & Oishi now allowed them to challenge for the All Asia Tag Titles.

Nakazawa & Matsunaga got the surprise win over Ibushi & MIKAMI. They requested for their match against the Golden Lovers on 21/3 to be for the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Tsurumi begrudgingly made it so.

The Lucha Libre war between Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi and the Monster Army continues. This time Guanchulo’s friend Anarko Montaña got involved as the referee for the match. Both teams attempted to wrestle Llave style while yelling “Viva Mexico!” Takagi once again won with La Magistral Cradle.

Tokyo BASEMENT MON☆STAR
100 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Exhibition Match: KANNA Vs Korei ended in a Time Limit Draw (3:00).
1a. 1 Minute Overtime: KANNA defeated Korei with a Crab Hold (0:59).
2. Chikage Kiba defeated Yuka Sakazaki with a Japanese Leg Roll Clutch (7:25).
3. Nonoko & Ririko Kendo defeated Miyu Yamashita & Shoko Nakajima when Nonoko submitted Nakajima with the Dragon Sleeper (10:00).

Prior to their singles battle next month, Miyu Yamashita and Nonoko competed on opposite sides in a tag team match on today’s show. Nonoko’s plump body continues to be too powerful for the other Tokyo Joshi Pro to handle. She used the STO (Space Tornado Oppai) and the Boinmaker to wipe out Yamashita before submitting Shoko Nakajima with a modified Dragon Sleeper that smothers the victim with Nonoko’s bust. Nonoko’s partner Ririko Kendo showed good ring presence by preventing Yamashita from entering the ring and stopping the hold.

Chikage Kiba returned to action for the first time after passing her exam entry into university. She had some trouble with Yuka Sakazaki who used some trickery and Rocket Punches to get the upper hand. Kiba fought back with an Octopus Hold and a Crossface Chickenwing. Sakazaki played possum and pretended to cry so Kiba would drop her guard but Kiba avoided the cheap shot and pinned Sakazaki with a Japanese Leg Roll Clutch.

Korei had her debut performance for Tokyo Joshi against KANNA, who fought in a new black and yellow costume. The match was only 3 minutes long because it was just an exhibition but when the time expired without a winner Tetsuya Koda allowed them to continue for one more minute. Korei fought hard by Body Slamming KANNA and hitting some elbows. But KANNA then speared Korei and used a Boston Crab to submit her with one second to spare.

Saki Akai will compete on the big 5th April Kawasaki show.

6. HARASHIMA, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo defeated KUDO, Masa Takanashi & Yukio Sakaguchi when HARASHIMA pinned Takanashi with the Somato (14:39).

KUDO, Masa Takanashi and Yukio Sakaguchi announced the name of their new unit. They are now called Shuten-dōji, named after a Japanese legend who had a thirst for sake. DJ Nira actually came up with the name while drunk. Unfortunately for them their first match under the new name ended in defeat. HARASHIMA and KUDO had a staredown after the match and both teams stepped in to seperate them.

For the last month Soma Takao has gotten the better of Danshoku Dino, highlighted by Takao pinning Dino to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles as part of Team Drift. Dino was finally able to get one back and beat Takao in Singles action.

Sanshiro Takagi and Antonio Honda fought in an Infomercial Match that will be aired on Teletama next month. They had to promote Blackout Energy Drink by drinking cans of the product as they wrestled each other. Fans were also given signs advertising the drink to hold during the match. In a sight similar to Stone Cold’s beer bashes, Takagi made Honda spit out the drink with a Stunner and after the match celebrated by smashing cans together and pouring them into his mouth.

The night did not end there for Takagi. He also became the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion. What makes it special is he became the 999th champion. Kazuki Hirata came to the show as champion but was attacked and pinned backstage by Daisuke Sasaki. Hirata came out at the start of the show demanding Sasaki give the belt back. The Battle Royal began and the belt changed hands from Sasaki to DJ Nira to Makoto Oishi and then back to Hirata who went on to win the match. Hirata reappeared later in the show to brag about winning back the title, even saying “If you smell what Hirata is cookin’!” Takagi snuck into the ring, grabbed the belt, struck Hirata with it and pinned him to win the title. Takagi said he wanted to be the 999th champion and will hold the title forever so nobody can become the 1000th champion!

Dick Togo made an appearance to announce he has moved to Vietnam and will open up a wrestling school there.

1. Soma Takao Vs Kazuki Hirata ended in a Time Limit Draw (15:00).
2. KUDO defeated Mitomi Masayuki with a Spin Kick (7:44).
3. Daisuke Sasaki & Masa Takanashi defeated Keisuke Ishii & Akito when Takanashi pinned Akito with the Takatonic (12:12).
4. Union Non-Certified US Heavyweight Title: HARASHIMA defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with the Somato (8:43).
*V5? for Hiroshi Fukuda due to Shinjuku Kabukicho State Rules.
5. Isami Kodaka, Kota Ibushi & Tetsuya Endo defeated Makoto Oishi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Konosuke Takeshita when Kodaka submitted Oishi with the 419 (14:04).

Hiroshi Fukuda wanted to test himself against the KO-D Champion, HARASHIMA. So he dusted off the Union Non-Certified US Heavyweight Title for this occasion and challenged HARASHIMA to take it from him. HARASHIMA accepted but before the match began Fukuda said the match would be fought under Shinjuku Kabukicho State Rules. He handed Daisuke Kiso the 18 page official rule book and told him to follow every rule in it. The rules just so happened to protect the champion. For example HARASHIMA wasn’t allowed to run towards Fukuda whenever Fukuda was not standing. This prevented HARASHIMA from doing his Somato finisher. Fukuda knocked down Kiso and grabbed a tambourine to strike HARASHIMA with. But the challenger knocked him down and hit the Somato while Kiso was recovering. When Kiso got his wits back he saw HARASHIMA pinning Fukuda and counted to three. HARASHIMA wins the US Title!

Or so it seemed. At the end of the show, BOYZ principal Johnny Edojima approached HARASHIMA and told him he never gave permission for the US Title to be defended. The title change does not count and HARASHIMA had to give back the US Title (medal) to Fukuda. Due to Shinjuku Kabukicho State Rules this counts as a successful defence for Fukuda. Because why not?

2. MIKAMI defeated Akito with a Boomerang School Boy (9:35).

*V1 for Team Dream Futures.
7. KUDO & Masa Takanashi defeated HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano when KUDO pinned HARASHIMA with a Buzzsaw Kick (14:41).

It’s been a bad weekend for HARASHIMA. First he loses the DDT Extreme Title to Danshoku Dino and then he gets pinned by his upcoming KO-D Openweight Title challenger KUDO. If that’s not enough, it looks like KUDO has left Ura-Shima-Kudo to side with Masa Takanashi. The two have bonded over their love of alcohol with Takanashi calling KUDO his big brother. Takanashi also invited Yukio Sakaguchi to join their new unit. At first it looked like Sakaguchi ignored them but then he returned with his own liquor bottle and joined them for a drink.

Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Yukio Sakaguchi teamed up and called themselves Sakaguchi Dojo. But when they failed to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles they immediately disbanded.

Konosuke Takeshita scored a big win over Antonio Honda in their tag team match. After the match Takeshita told the fans he will be entering a Tokyo university in April after living in Osaka for his entire life. He promises he will work out and return to Osaka as a huge sized wrestler.

Whenever Kota Ibushi and Gota Ihashi are in the ring together, Ibushi usually comes up with a bad idea. This time it was a 2nd Rope Piledriver!

Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga will get a match against the Golden Lovers on the 21st March Korakuen Hall show. However due to their losing streak the KO-D Tag Team Titles will not be on the line.

Yukinori Matsui announced details for his 20th Anniversary show in Osaka Bodymaker Colosseum #2 on 13th April. The show will feature Kushinbo Kamen Vs Kikutaro.

6. KUDO, Masa Takanashi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Akito, Tetsuya Endo & Konosuke Takeshita when KUDO pinned Endo with the Diving Double Knee Drop (15:55).
7. DDT Extreme Title – New York Rules: Danshoku Dino defeated HARASHIMA (c) with a Kissing Pin (12:05).
*HARASHIMA fails in V5. Danshoku Dino becomes the 26th DDT Extreme Champion!

Very few men can beat Danshoku Dino in a kissing contest. HARASHIMA found that out the hard way. The two fought in a New York Rules match for the DDT Extreme Title. In order to win you had to kiss your opponent as you pin them for the entire three seconds. HARASHIMA trained as much as he could but when it came to actually kissing Dino in the match, he couldn’t find the courage to do it. This came to be his downfall as he had victory in his hands when he flattened Dino with the Somato. But when HARASHIMA finally had to courage to do the kiss, Dino had enough time to recover and roll the champion into a Kissing Small Package for the three count! Dino now holds the Extreme Title for the sixth time in the title’s history.

Masa Takanashi has a new diet to make himself strong. He will go around Japan drinking the best liquor the country has to offer and that will somehow help him become the KO-D Openweight Champion. Bottoms up.

Trouble just seem to have a habit of finding Yukio Sakaguchi lately. After spending a month getting in fights with KUDO, trouble now seems to be brewing between Sakaguchi and Shigehiro Irie. The two came close to blows after Sakaguchi submitted Soma Takao in their tag team match.

The ring truck parked inside the building was featured in the 4 Way Match. Kota Ibushi tried to reverse the truck over Michael Nakazawa and also Moonsaulted off the truck onto everyone else.

This time around it was Antonio Honda who requested for Lucha Libre rules against Sanshiro Takagi’s team. Unfortunately the Monster Army’s record in Lucha Libre continues to be poor as Takagi avoided the Diving Fist Drop and pinned Honda with La Magistral Cradle. Toru Owashi told the fans afterwards that they will do more and more Lucha Libre matches around Japan. Viva Mexico!

Gota Ihashi replaced Guanchulo in the opener because of an injury Guanchulo suffered during training a few days ago.
