6. Next KO-D Tag Challenger Final: Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega Vs Tetsuya Endo & Konosuke Takeshita ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).
A 30 minute draw was not an expected result in the main event. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo stepped up big time against the Golden Lovers in a match where the winners would get a KO-D Tag Team Title shot. Amon Tsurumi said after the match that he was delighted with the rookies for their growth and now had to decide who would get the title shot. Members of the audience called for a 3 Way between the teams and the champions. Kenny Omega agreed. Kota Ibushi just said he would do his best. Endo called himself and Takeshita the “Future Leaders of DDT” and said they will win the belts.
Masa Takanashi became the No. 1 Contender for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title and was quick to use it. He snuck into the ring while HARASHIMA was cutting a post-match promo and pinned him with a School Boy to win the title and end the DDT Triple Crown. HARASHIMA admitted he let his guard down and wants to win back the title.
DDT is aiming to hold a show in Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium for 13th April. It will be a special event for Yukinori Matsui since he will be celebrating his 20th anniversary in wrestling.

5. Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi when Ibushi pinned Takanashi after the PK Heart α (11:33).
6. Next Extreme Title Challenger 4 Way Match – Pin Nakazawa Match: Keisuke Ishii defeated Danshoku Dino, Yasu Urano and DJ Nira (12:10).
6a. Michael Nakazawa eliminated DJ Nira with a Backslide Pin Submission (7:53).
6b. Michael Nakazawa & Keisuke Ishii eliminated Yasu Urano with a Sunset Flip & Bridging Pin Combo (9:00).
6c. Keisuke Ishii defeated Michael Nakazawa with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (12:10).
7. Next KO-D Challenger Final: Shigehiro Irie defeated Akito with the Package Piledriver (18:14).
Shigehiro Irie defeated Akito in today’s main event to earn a KO-D Openweight Title shot with HARASHIMA on 26/1, a rematch of last year’s “RYOGOKU PETER PAN” main event. Akito was in tears after losing but Irie thanked him because they both worked hard. Irie described his defeat to HARASHIMA last year as a great shame he cannot forget. He promised to return to Osaka as champion.
Amon Tsurumi came up with the rules for the 4 Way match to determine the next DDT Extreme Title challenger. Michael Nakazawa was added into the match but was ineligible to win. Instead it was up to Danshoku Dino, Keisuke Ishii, Yasu Urano or DJ Nira to pin or submit him in order to win outright. However, if Nakazawa was able to pin or submit any of the other wrestlers, that wrestler would be eliminated from the match. DJ Nira was the first to go when he submitted to a Backslide Pin (yes you read that right). Urano was next when Nakazawa rolled him over with a Sunset Flip and Ishii joined in with a Bridging Pin at the same time. Danshoku Dino had Nakazawa rocked with the Lip Lock and Danshoku Driver but Ishii cut him off, threw him out of the ring and gave Nakazawa the Double Arm DDT for the win.
Tetsuya Endo was feeling very upset when it was time for his 6-man Tag Team match. He told Sanshiro Takagi that he lost his wallet in the parking lot earlier that day and when he found it, all of his money was gone. Takagi asked how much money did he lose and Endo said he lost 20,000 yen. Toru Owashi interrupted to announce the match was now called the Sanshiro Takagi New Year Cup and a prize would be given to the winners. Konosuke Takeshita won the match with Endo and MIKAMI on his side, so a lottery was held between them. Takeshita won the lottery and was given a cash prize of 20,000 yen. Endo said he will make up for his lost money by beating the Golden Lovers with Takeshita tomorrow. Takeshita said he and Endo “Will show the future of DDT.”
Osaka was the site of a Shit Heart ♥ Foundation reunion as Hikaru Sato, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Michael Nakazawa team up to face the Monster Army with a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title shot on the line. Nakazawa also brought back his lotion to add some slippery shenanigans to the match. It all fell apart for them when each wrestler tried to do the Ultimate Venom Arm on their opponents. The Monster Army all ducked and the Foundation all hit the move on each other. Antonio Honda then finished off Nakazawa with the Diving Fist Drop to win the match. They will face The Homo-sapiens tomorrow for the 6-Man Titles.

6. Emergency Special Match: Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari defeated Daichi Kazato & Tomoya Kawamura when Ohka pinned Kawamura with the Spear Of Fire (2:23).
7. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Cherry (c) defeated Sareee with the Spring Night Love (8:55).
*V2 for Cherry.
8. Union MAX Title: Ivan Markov (c) defeated FUMA with the Neck Hanging Bomb (14:02).
*V1 for Ivan Markov.
World Men’s Club showed their strength over Union today with all of their members scoring victories over the Union roster. Ivan Markov took care of FUMA in the main event Union MAX Title match with a little help from his stable mates. Hiroshi Fukuda & MEN’S Teioh also scored a win over Isami Kodaka & Daichi Kazato.
If the World Men’s Club boasting of their superiority wasn’t bad enough, Union also now has a new invasion led by a former friend to deal with. Mid way through the show a banner with “Declaration of War” written on it was unveiled in the arena. All of a sudden Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari from Ganbare☆Wrestling appeared! Imanari said that Ganpuro saves wrestling from a rotten life. Naomi Susan didn’t want to deal with Ohka annoying her so she sent Daichi Kazato & Tomoya Kawamura after the invaders in an impromptu match. Unfortunately for them they had already wrestled while Ohka & Imanari were on fresh form despite wrestling in suits. The Ganpuro team won and struck the first blow in their invasion and continued fighting with their opponents until Mitomi Masayuki and SAGAT arrived. When the invaders finally left, Susan thanked the Union wrestlers for chasing them off and called for the show to continue.
Cherry said her Fly To Everywhere Title Match with Sareee was like wrestling a version of herself from 22 years ago. When asked what she was like 22 years ago, Cherry said she had a crew cut and participated in Judo. She hasn’t considered who her next challenger will be but wants to defend her championship more and more.
Shuji Ishikawa was challenged by Richard Burn to a match for the 11th February show in Yokohama. Shuji accepted and is interested in the Wrestling Vs Karate dynamic. Earlier in the show, Burn had his second match in Union. His martial arts background overwhelmed his opponent, this time the rookie Tomoya Kawamura. Burn knocked him out with the Afterburn in quick fashion.
SAGAT tried to get on Kyoko Kimura’s good side before their match by offering her bananas. Kimura didn’t even entertain the offer and kicked them away, making SAGAT angry. Kimura wound up beating SAGAT but offered him a banana after their match. SAGAT accepted it.

DDT celebrates the start of 2014 with an idea that killed the AWA, a team challenge series. DDT has been doing their own version in Korakuen Hall as their annual kick off show for the year. HARASHIMA and Danshoku Dino were the team captains this time but they did not face each other until the bonus main event. The HARASHIMA Army looked to have the contest won by 90 points when it was announced one last match was to happen with 300 points on the line. That match was a 30-Man Tag Team free for all, another annual tradition for the January kickoff show. Any chances for a heroic comeback by Team Dino were dashed when HARASHIMA himself scored the pin on Kazuki Hirata. Amon Tsurumi came out to give the big prize to every member of the HARASHIMA Army and it turned out to be… 100 yen for each wrestler on the team. Tsurumi complained that the prize money was his own cash and the total pot was half a month’s worth of his pocket money.
Sanshiro Takagi announced that starting from April DDT will have regular programming on Teletama, a terrestrial TV station based in Saitama. Takagi says DDT is building their base in Saitama to prepare their big plans for a show inside the Saitama Super Arena. Meanwhile the big annual “PETER PAN” event will take place on 17th August this year. It was announced without any mention of where it will take place. Could it be at the Saitama Super Arena this year?
HARASHIMA successfully defended his DDT Extreme Title against Super Sasadango Machine in a New Year Wrestling Card Death Match. The match involved a deck of cards, each card would have a wrestling move written on it. Every time a card was pulled and read out, the first wrestler who did the called move would earn a point. The match would end either by somebody getting 7 points or if somebody won the match by normal means. Some of the moves called out included Yoshiaki Yago’s Cobra Twist, Danshoku Dino’s Danshoku Nightmare and Satoshi Kojima’s “Bakayaro!” Machine Gun Chops. One of the cards even called for slow motion wrestling with “Etupirika” by Taro Hakase playing in the background. In the end the extra rules weren’t needed as HARASHIMA pinned Sasadango with the Somato.
The semi-main was a 10-Man Tag Team Elimination match. Danshoku Dino was in action teaming with Team Dream Futures and the returning Yoshihiko. The Golden Rendesvouz, Tetsuya Endo and Akito were their opponents representing the HARASHIMA Army. The crowd were excited to see Yoshihiko and Kota Ibushi face off again and they didn’t disappoint with some crazy exchanges. The two were eventually eliminated at the same time when Yoshihiko performed a Reverse Huracanrana on Ibushi from the second rope to the outside of the ring! The match eventually came down to Dino and Endo as the final two. Endo did everything he could against the veteren, even hitting the Phoenix Splash for a nearfall. Dino found his opening and pinned Endo with the Gay-do Clutch to win it for his team.
Sanshiro Takagi and Michael Nakazawa faced off in a Weapons Rumble in a match Nakazawa demanded after he refused to sign a new contract with DDT. If he won the match, he would sign the contract. There was a castle of chairs already set up in the ring and then a bicycle was brought down. Takagi ran down Nakazawa with a Lariat but accidentaly cycled into the chairs. More weapons were introduced until Nonoko from Tokyo Women’s Wrestling was introduced into the match to help Takagi. One more weapon was left to enter and Nakazawa said it was the weapon Takagi hates the most. “Kaze Ni Nare” played over the speakers and out came Minoru Suzuki! Suzuki gave Takagi the Gotch-Style Piledriver and a groggy Nakazawa crawled on top to pin him. Nakazawa celebrated his first win in 2014 and asked Suzuki if he could coach him. Suzuki tried to back out of it by saying he’s busy but Nakazawa asked him about wrestling at “PETER PAN” again. When they told Suzuki the date he said the G1 Climax is happening during that time but he was eventually convinced to do it.
Away from the ring, a series of Achievement Tests took place before the show. Saki Akai (the only person in the entire challenge who did not wrestle on the show), Tetsuya Endo & Guanchulo competed for HARASHIMA while Team Drift played for Dino. They all had to take three exams based on the subjects language, English and social. Tetsuya Endo scored highest with 175 points while Akai scored the lowest with a measly 57 points. They and Guanchulo still scored enough points to win the contest for HARASHIMA. Danshoku Dino complained afterwards because the exams were worth more points than any of the wrestling matches.
Kazuki Hirata now does the Emerald Frosion. Don’t know why that surprises me but it does.
Gorgeous Matsuno gave a New Year speech to the audience while his match was going on behind him.
Makoto Oishi & Saki Akai Vs Toru Owashi and Yoshiko from Stardom will take place at the next Korakuen show on 26th January.
A promotional gimmick for today’s show was every ticket for the event was priced at 2,000 yen. During the end of show speech, HARASHIMA said DDT will do the gimmick again next year. Amon Tsurumi cut in and said they weren’t going to make a profit that way. Sanshiro Takagi admitted he was going to secretly increase the price to 3,000 yen next year but was caught. This joke is in reference to a controversial 500 yen price increase for DDT tickets that will come into effect starting this April.

Another year has come and gone as several Japanese wrestling companies joined together for the annual New Year’s Eve Wrestling show at Korakuen Hall. This year’s selling point was a one night tournament featuring wrestlers from DDT, Big Japan and K-DOJO. Each match that ended in a 10 minute time limit would go into sudden death where pinfalls only had to last a second for the match to declare a winner. HARASHIMA ended a strong year for himself by winning the tournament, defeating KAZMA SAKAMOTO, Yasu Urano, Shiori Asahi and finally Kengo Mashimo throughout the night. Abdullah Kobayashi made an appearance and congratulated HARASHIMA for winning. He joked “I’m the next challenger!” He then said he will wait until the summer for his return from illness.
Danshoku Dino provided a change of pace with an “Insanely Funny Game” Battle Royal. He had invited Sanshiro Takagi, Amon Tsurumi, Eiji Tosaka, Nikkan Lee, TAKA Michinoku and Tank Nagai down to ringside for a challenge. Takagi, TAKA and Tosaka had to sit down at ringside while Tsurumi, Nagai and Lee had to stand beside them with their mouths full of milk. It was up to Tsurumi, Nagai and Lee not to laugh and spit out milk onto the people sitting beside them. Needless to say, there milk was everywhere by the end as all of the different wrestlers in the match did what they could to make the milk drinkers laugh. Nagai still had some milk left in his mouth when the match was over. Dino asked him if he “liked TAKA’s milk?” and Nagai spat it out in laughter.
During the show, Samurai! TV announced their Occupation Of The Indies Awards for 2013. Isami Kodaka was the big winner, grabbing the MVP Award, Best Match Award with Shuji Ishikawa in Big Japan and Best Tag Team Award with Yuko Miyamoto. Kodaka beat out Kota Ibushi and Daisuke Sekimoto to win the MVP Award. DDT won the Best Event Award for “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2013”. Sanshiro Takagi was in the middle of having a shower during the ceremony and accepted the award with just a towel around his waist. He said he will continue to dominate that award every year. Masaya Takahashi from Wrestling New Classic was Best Rookie. He was surprised to win it so suddenly.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING 5 “ARMAGEDDON FINAL BATTLE!!!”, 26/12/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
200 Fans – No Vacancy
1. Food Village Wrestling Vs Royal Road Wrestling – PWF Rules: Crusher Takahashi Vs Fumihito Kihara ended in a Double Count Out (14:12).
2. Kickboxing Vs Karate Rematch Of Fate: Kazuhiko Ogasawara defeated Tanomusaku Toba by KO with High Kicks (7:40).
3. Cyborg Vs Ferocious Mammal Full Settlement Warfare!: Survival Tobita defeated J-Soul Pandita III with the Freezing Shower (6:18).
4. Goodbye Tamagawa!! Tokyo Last Match!!: Batten Tamagawa defeated Shota with the Batten Bomber (10:36).
5. Reunion Of Fate: Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Moonsault (13:40).
6. Armageddon Final Battle: Ken Ohka defeated Osamu Namiguchi with the Spear Of Fire (15:21)
Ken Ohka has survived his Armageddon and finally defeated his nemesis Osamu Namiguchi! Ever since its inception back in February, Ganbare☆Wrestling has been mocked and constantly attacked by Namiguchi and his partner in crime Kazuhiko Ogasawara. Ohka stood up for the company he created from scratch but constantly fell to Namiguchi. One last battle between the two took place the day after Christmas. Ohka was proving to be a match for his opponent until he was given a Low Blow behind the referee’s back. Ogasawara also got involved attacking Ohka while the ref was distracted. Several Ganpuro wrestlers ran down to ringside to stop him but Ogasawara was able to defeat them easily. But Ohka refused to give up. Ogasawara interfered again and threw a High Kick, but Ohka ducked and the kick struck Namiguchi instead! Ohka countered the Lanakira-N and delivered the Spear Of Fire to score the pin and finally beat Namiguchi. Ohka stopped Namiguchi from leaving ringside after the match and thanked him for the experience he gained from fighting him all year. Ohka offered a handshake but Namiguchi ignored it and left.
Ohka declared Ganpuro is now major sport wrestling and announced Chapter 2 of the company will begin on 6th April, 2014 in Kitizawa Town Hall. Yumehito Imanari wondered why the next show will take so long and what will they get up to during the first three months of next year. Ohka told them they will go to Union and they will crush Union! Ohka wants Ganpuro to be a major company and the next step is to crush the competition!
Bad Tension TAMAGAWA went back to just being Batten Tamagawa for his final match in Tokyo before he goes home for at least the time being. After beating Shota, Tamagawa said he wanted to change his “half-baked” self. He tried dabbling in evil as Bad Tension TAMAGAWA and he admits he is still an immature person. He tearfully thanked everyone and told each of the Ganpuro wrestlers to hang in there.
Survival Tobita’s cyborg transformation was completed in time for his battle with the creature known as J-Soul Pandita III. But Tobita had a major weakness, his brain was left exposed. Tobita survived the head trauma Pandita gave him and was able to defeat the monster with help from a gas cooling extinguisher. He froze Pandita with the extinguisher and then delivered an Elbow Drop for the pin. After the match a mysterious doctor wearing the Scream mask entered the ring and put down Pandita with an injection. Tobita was shocked and yelled at the doctor for killing the creature. Tobita told him a friendship began to grow with him and Pandita and swore revenge on the “fake doctor”.
Gorikiko appeared dressed in a Santa costume. Not a sexy Santa costume, just regular Santa. She was disappointed she did not have a match on the show but said she would work hard as a second for the wrestlers.

*V4 for HARASHIMA. HARASHIMA becomes the 978th Iron Man Champion.
After a brief detour, HARASHIMA is once again a DDT Triple Crown Champion! He defeated the person I believed had the best chance of winning the KO-D Openweight Title from him and in the process won back the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. On paper, HARASHIMA Vs Yukio Sakaguchi looked to be as hard hitting as they come. Plenty of kicks and knee strikes were on offer along with some Triangle Chokes and Sleeper Holds, the move Sakaguchi used to beat HARASHIMA the last time they were in the ring together. This time HARASHIMA was able to escape the hold and strike back with the ever reliable Somato. Sakaguchi kicked out but HARASHIMA quickly replied with another Somato to put him down for good. The champion told Sakaguchi they just had a thrilling match and it was so fun for him. “Thanks a bunch!” They hugged and shook hands afterwards.
Danshoku Dino and Makoto Oishi have finally gotten their KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles back, this time with Aja Kong along for the ride. Kong was more than suitable for the job, matching strength for strength with Toru Owashi in an impromptu sumo bout. She was about to do the same with Akebono until Danshoku Dino got involved and chased after the AJPW Triple Crown champion. Dino eventually got what he wanted, delivering a big old Lip Lock to Akebono. Kong did the same to Sanshiro Takagi, stunning him enough for Dino to deliver the Danshoku Driver and win the titles. Dino called his new team the Homo-sapiens. Kong thought she didn’t have to team with them anymore but decided to stay.
Tetsuya Endo ends the year on a low note by losing to his fellow generational opponent Konosuke Takeshita in one of three highlighted singles matches held throughout the show. Endo cried out how useless he was, it’s no good if he doesn’t win and it’s no good if he’s not strong. He is upset he lost to a high school student and swore he will beat Takeshita someday. Takeshita recognised the judges who voted him the Tokyo Sports Rookie of the Year and said “It was not wrong to choose Takeshita.”
DJ Nira tried to trick Kota Ibushi before their match by sending out Gota Ihashi in his place. And in his clothes. Nira then launched the ambush, yelling “Take that, a present from me!” Ibushi simply moved out of the way and then proceeded to dominate the match. Nira had some glimpses of a comeback but at the end quickly submitted to a Front Necklock.
Saki Akai came out dressed as a sexy Santa and her partners KUDO and Yasu Urano were her reindeer. GAMI took her temporary role in the Monster Army seriously and was there to toughen up Akai. She and Antonio Honda were in tune with each other, both giving out Bionic Elbows to KUDO and Urano. But in a Christmas miracle, Akai leapt onto both of them from the tope rope. Urano cut off Daisuke Sasaki and gave him a Frankensteiner, leaving him right on target for KUDO’s Diving Double Knee Drop for the three count. Akai thanked KUDO and Urano in a backstage interview for supporting her because she still feels nervous in the ring. Her goal for next year is to win the Iron Man Championship.
Hikaru Sato found the perfect piece of clothing to battle Michael Nakazawa and the pair of shorts he uses to fuel the Ultimate Venom Arm. Sato brought out a school swimsuit and used it to do his own Ultimate Venom Arm to pin Nakazawa. After the match Nakazawa asked Sato to team with him again as they would be invincible with their shorts and swimsuits. Sato ignored him.
Team Dream Futures reflected over their performance throughout 2013. Shigehiro Irie became KO-D Champion and recorded more defences in a single title reign than anyone else in the belt’s history. Keisuke Ishii charged into All Japan to sort out an old grudge with the promotion he has held ever since he trained in their dojo. He now hopes to play a central role in “cheerful wrestling” for DDT. Soma Takao meanwhile was obsessed with talking about the colour red.
Kazuki Hirata ran through a gauntlet of wrestlers in a pre-show trial to prove he is not a “boring shit” wrestler. He had a bad start losing to Tomomitsu Matsunaga but bounced back by beating Gota Ihashi. Guanchulo stopped him from winning two in a row yet Hirata avoided two straight defeats by pinning Choun-Shiryu. His last opponent was a big surprise, the “Crazy Monkey” Jun Kasai! Even worse, he was armed with a barbed wire baseball bat which he used to great effect. Hirata ended the series with a losing record of two victories and three defeats. Afterwards Kasai said he was supposed to be spending quality time with his family for the holidays before DDT contacted him to appear. He told Hirata that Takagi was just treating him like a toy and he himself had just beaten him up for fun. He wished him luck to become better and hoped to fight him again in DDT when he improves.
A Homoiro Clover Z Vs Up Up Girls challenge is set for 19th February in Shinjuku FACE. The aim of the event is to show both the beauty of wrestling and the beauty of idols.

2. 4 Vs 4 Vs 1 Irregular 3 Way Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Kazuki Hirata, MIKAMI & Shuji Ishikawa defeated Makoto Oishi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga, DJ Nira & Kazuhiro Tamura and Michael Nakazawa by Referee Stoppage when Ishikawa used the Giant Venom Arm on Nakazawa (8:43).

5. Danshoku Dino & Akito defeated Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi when Akito submitted Ihashi with the Ankle Hold (11:27).
6. KUDO defeated Masa Takanashi with the Diving Double Knee Drop (18:40).
The spotlight today was on Masa Takanashi for his 10th Anniversary Show in Edogawa. The main event was Takanashi and KUDO squaring off with KUDO earning the win at the end. Takanashi apologised for his bad form during his end of show speech and he thanked KUDO for assuming the unpleasant role of being his opponent. Takanashi also brought his parents into the ring and they gave him a cake to celebrate his 10 years. Takanashi said he lives in a world of his own, he intends to live there forever and he thanked everyone for letting him exist in this ring.
Emi Sakura was upset with HARASHIMA for no longer being a Triple Crown champion like herself. They still posed with their titles in the ring together after the match. Ivan Markov meanwhile turned on Guanchulo for losing the match by giving him the Neck Hanging Bomb.
By request of everyone involved in the match, the Battle Royal turned into a 3 Way Team match with all of the wrestlers teaming with whoever they want. Sanshiro Takagi, Kazuki Hirata, MIKAMI & Shuji Ishikawa were on one team. Makoto Oishi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga, DJ Nira & Kazuhiro Tamura were on another team. Nobody wanted to team with Michael Nakazawa so he had to wrestle on his own. Nakazawa actually did pretty well given the circumstances. He gave everyone the Ultimate Venom Arm two by two until it was down to himself and Shuji Ishikawa, who was wearing a towel and holding the pair of shorts he was originally wrestling in. They had a showdown and Ishikawa got Nakazawa with the Giant Venom Arm first, causing the referee to step in and award the win to Shuji’s team.

5. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Yukio Sakaguchi, MIKAMI & Tetsuya Endo defeated HARASHIMA (c), KUDO & Yasu Urano by Referee Stoppage when Sakaguchi used the Sleeper Hold on HARASHIMA (13:50).
*Yukio Sakaguchi becomes the 978th champion.
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto (c) defeated Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie when Miyamoto pinned Ishii with the Pivot Fire Thunder (13:26).
*V6 For Yankii Ni Cho Kenju.
The defences just keep on coming for the KO-D Tag Team Champions, this time with a victory over Team Dream Futures. After the match Yuko Miyamoto said that even though a certain newspaper didn’t give them an award this year, they have defended the championships well. Isami Kodaka welcomed many more challenges from Drift because they will beat them every time. Keisuke Ishii doesn’t see the funny side. Today was his 6th straight KO-D Tag Team Title match defeat (including the match where he and Irie lost the titles). He thought the experience gained in All Japan recently would help himbut instead he is left feeling very frustrated. However he will not give up and still wants to go after the KO-D Tag Titles and also the All Asia Tag Team Titles. Shigehiro Irie promised Ishii he will work hard and Soma Takao said he wants to get a Tag Title shot too.
Yukio Sakaguchi scored a major victory over HARASHIMA just over a week before they face off for the KO-D Openweight Title. Sakaguchi choked out the champion with a Sleeper Hold, forcing the referee to stop the match and award his team with the win. As a result, Sakaguchi also became the new Iron Man Heavymtalweight Champion, ending HARASHIMA’s DDT Triple Crown reign.
Sanshiro Takagi’s weird grudge with idol groups not called AKB48 returned with this 2-on-3 Handicap match. Takagi and Toru Owashi will soon reunite with Akebono to defend their KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles against Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Aja Kong. But today Takagi & Owashi faced Dino, Oishi and Maki Ito from the group LinQ. Ito’s wrestling debut was not pleasant. When she got into the ring with Takagi, she was given a Giant Swing while her group’s new song “Colourful Days” was playing over the speakers. She also was the victim of a backfired double team move involving her face being shoved into Dino’s exposed backside. Things were looking bleak until Oishi countered Takagi’s Sunflower Bomb into a Frankensteiner. Ito then suddenly spat Poison Mist into Takagi’s eyes, distracting him enough for Oishi to pin him afterwards.
Batten Tamgawa riled up the crowd with his Americanisms before his match with Antonio Honda by mocking the local food. Honda however was not buying it and wrestled the match trying to get Tamagawa to admit he actually eats the Japanese food he was making fun of. Honda succeeded and a defeated Tamagawa admitted he loves the food in Hakata. He apologised for pretending to be American and will move to the area next year.
Michael Nakazawa bragged to his Kyushu opponents about how cool Tokyo is before the DDT Vs Kyushu 6-Man Tag match. Naturally he was defeated.
