4 Way Mixed Tag Team Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Yuzuki Aikawa defeated Danshoku Dino & Yoshiko, Kota Ibushi & Jaiko Ishikawa and Michael Nakazawa & Miho Wakizawa when Aikawa submitted Nakazawa with a Hooters Attack (53:15).

DDT held its first ever 4 Way Mixed Tag Match in a street to celebrate the wrestling career of Yuzuki Aikawa. The location was the same theme park that has held DDT’s previous “Anywhere Pro Wrestling” events and many of its rides and attractions played a part in the match once again. The night belonged to 222cm Big Guns, aka the team of Sanshiro Takagi & Yuzuki Aikawa. They used Michael Nakazawa & Miho Wakizawa as target practice at a fairground shooting range and rode mechanical pandas while Kota Ibushi, Jaiko Ishikawa, Danshoku Dino and Yoshiko all fought each other in between rollercoaster rides. The four teams then fought inside a merry-go-round where Yoshiko thought it would be the perfect time to hold hands with Ibushi. As the wrestlers dragged each other into a nearby pond, Nakazawa disappeared. He came back dressed in Aikawa’s Sentai Power Ranger Blue costume, which was very revealing from behind. He attacked Takagi and kicked him into a castle of chairs that just so happened to have been set up that day. Back in the pond, Ibushi did a Cancun Tornado from the bridge onto everyone below in the water. Ishikawa dealt a great deal of damage on Aikawa, giving her the Thunder Fire into the pond.

Those still fighting moved back to the stage where Nakazawa got the upper hand and gave everyone the Ultimate Venom Arm. But when he thought he was the last one standing, a voice suddenly yelled “Yuzupon!” It was Aikawa to the rescue, dressed in a skimpy Stars & Stripes bathing suit. She and Takagi overpowered Nakazawa and had an emotional moment. Takagi asked Aikawa if she thought pro wrestling was fun. Aikawa cried and said it was. They then struck Nakazawa over his back with a Double Yuzupon Kick and Aikawa finished him off with her bouncy cleavage to win the match.

Afterwards Takagi and Aikawa repeated their exchange about pro wrestling being fun. Aikawa promoted Stardom’s big show in Sumo Hall on 29th April that will include her retirement match. She only wrestled for two and a half years but she will have a lot of memories when she is done. She also hopes that with a month left to go, she does not get injured before she retires. Everyone then got together as group and screamed “We Are Stardom!”

DDT “JUDGEMENT SERIES 2013 IN SENDAI”, 24/03/2013
Miyagi El Park Sendai
248 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. HARASHIMA defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Somato (8:42).
2. 3 Way Tag Team Match: Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki defeated Hikaru Sato & Tetsuya Endo and DJ Nira & Michael Nakazawa when Honda pinned Nakazawa with the Diving Fist Drop (12:06).
3. MIKAMI defeated Gorgeous Matsuno with the Swanton Bomb (10:41).
4. KUDO & Yasu Urano defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi when Urano pinned Takagi with the Tombstone Piledriver (13:17).
*Yasu Urano wins Sanshiro Takagi’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.
5. Tsukasa Fujimoto defeated Cherry with the Venus Shoot (9:27).
6. Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when Ibushi pinned Oishi with the Sit Down Last Ride (14:01).
7. Shigehiro Irie, Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma defeated Yukio Sakaguchi, Masa Takanashi & Akito when Irie pinned Akito with the Flying Sausage (12:39).

Shigehiro Irie is still nervous to defend his KO-D Openweight Title against Yukio Sakaguchi on 13/4. Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma encouraged him by saying “You are strong! You’re Champion!” over and over.

Sanshiro Takagi is the first person to lose his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract after getting pinned by Yasu Urano in their tag team match. With the contract in his possession, Urano thinks he has a 98% chance of winning the KO-D Title when he cashes in the contract. But if HARASHIMA cashes in his contract first and loses to the champion, Urano thinks he will then have a 100% chance of success.

6. KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie defeated Kenny Omega (c) with the Vertical Drop Back Flip (24:29).
*Kenny Omega fails in V4. Shigehiro Irie becomes the 45th KO-D Openweight Champion!

The torch has been passed, Shigehiro Irie is the first in his generation of DDT wrestlers to win the KO-D Openweight Title! Over the last two years, Irie has taken big steps towards the top beating such DDT and Union alumni like Kota Ibushi and Shuji Ishikawa. One person he could never get the best of was the champion Kenny Omega. Almost a year ago Irie went through rigorous weight loss training in order to wrestle Kenny for the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title. Today there was no weight limit handicapping the Teddy Bear. It wasn’t easy, Omega fought tooth and nail to keep his title but Irie’s heart was just that little bit bigger. A Vertical Drop Back Flip attempt was rearranged into a Thunder Fire Driver, knocking Omega silly and leaving him vulnerable to another Vertical Drop Back Flip. That one connected and three seconds later Irie was swamped by his Team Dream Future stablemates and handed the KO-D Title belt.

Irie couldn’t believe he won. He couldn’t believe he beat Kenny Omega. He thanked the audience for chanting his name and he thanked his friends for supporting him. Tsurumi Amon dampened the celebrations by telling Irie that there are now four wrestlers with Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere contracts and Keisuke Ishii is one of them. Ishii stepped in and said he won’t be cashing in his contract until the time was right for him and Irie. Sanshiro Takagi awkwardly congratulated Irie, clearly resisting temptation to cash in his contract there and then. Irie’s first challenger Yukio Sakaguchi appeared on the ring apron and simply stuck out his fist. Irie placed his elbow against the fist in response as if to say “Challenge accepted,”

The Royal Rumble Ladder match had 5 prizes in total on the line. Literally. Four envelopes hung from a cable above the ring. Two of the envelopes had a smiley face on them. The other two had the skull and bones symbol. It was up to the competitors to climb up ladders and fight amongst each other to reach them. When somebody pulled down an envelope they played no further part in the match. Meanwhile, Battle Royal rules were also in effect with the overall winner getting a KO-D Title shot on 13th April. Yukio Sakaguchi won the Battle Royal portion. With the title shot in his grasp, Sakaguchi now feels like he is part of the DDT family.

Sanshiro Takagi, Keisuke Ishii, HARASHIMA & DJ Nira were the four wrestlers who grabbed the envelopes. They were called into the ring after the match to open the envelopes and reveal their prizes. It turns out all four envelopes contained Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere contracts that allowed the holder to challenge the KO-D Champion to a title match at any DDT show from now until 3rd August. However, to even the playing field a new rule was added. The contracts can now change hands if the contract holder is pinned, submitted or knocked out at any wrestling show in Japan! Hiroshi Fukuda suddenly ambushed Takagi and pinned him with a School Boy but as he celebrated with Takagi’s contract, Tsurumi Amon told him the rule was not 24/7 and only comes into play during actual wrestling matches.

K-1 fighter Kizaemon Saiga had a successful debut in DDT teaming with his friend Kota Ibushi to defeat Yasu Urano & FUMA. They won by using a Doomsday Spinning Heel Kick with Saiga performing the kick. During the backstage interview afterwards Saiga said he had fun but was in a huge amount of pain. He hopes to do both MMA and wrestling. Ibushi was nervous for his friend but Saiga’s performance proved how compatible he is with pro wrestling. In regards to the Doomsday Kick, Saiga said it was the first time he ever did a Jumping Kick from that height. He called Ibushi his teacher and wants to fly and bounce around the ring like he does.

The 2013 King Of DDT tournament will begin at Shinjuku on 28th June. Round 2 will be held in Nagoya on 17th July. The semi-finals and final will take place in Umeda later that month. The winner will earn a KO-D Title shot at the 18/8 Sumo Hall show.

Danshoku Dino is getting his own show on DDT’s Nico Douga Channel. The show is called Danshoku Matchmaking. If this does not turn out to be DDT’s version of Blind Date with Dino playing the role of Cilla Black, I will be disappointed.

UNION “MARCH OF THE UNION 2013” Results

March 10, 2013

UNION “MARCH OF THE UNION 2013”, 10/03/2013
Yokohama Radiant Hall
242 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Mascara Contra Exile Tag Team Match: Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai Vs Nazo Fukumen A & Nazo Fukumen C ended in a Draw when Fukuda and Fukumen C pinned each other (9:07).
*Hiroshi Fukuda is exiled from Union. Nazo Fukumen C is revealed to be Shota.
2. Kotaro Nasu & Hasuka Makoto defeated Daichi Kazato & Shinya Ishida when Nasu submitted Kazato with a Cross Armbreaker (10:44).
3. Cao Zhang (w/ Choun-Shiryu) defeated SAGAT with the Hulao (5:05).
4. Gabaiji-chan defeated Seiya Morohashi with the Gabai Bomb (12:12).
5. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Kaori Yoneyama defeated Cherry with a Roll Through German Suplex (14:07).
*Kaori Yoneyama is the 1st Union Fly To Everywhere World Champion!
6. Giant Recital Match: Isami Kodaka, Kengo Ohka & Madoka defeated Shuji Ishikawa, FUMA & Masato Shibata (21:30).
6a. Isami Kodaka pinned Shuji Ishikawa with a School Boy (6:27).
6b. Shuji Ishikawa pinned Isami Kodaka with the Splash Mountain (14:10).
6c. Isami Kodaka pinned FUMA with the Isamu Leg (21:30).

Among the instruments and equipment involved in the Giant Recital were guitars, trumpets and Yama amplifiers. Shuji Ishikawa was disappointed he didn’t get to sing. He and Naomi Susan invited Hiroshi Fukuda and Jun Kasai into the ring to sing a song. Isami Kodaka interrupted to challenge Kasai to a match for Freedoms at Korakuen Hall in May.

A Mascara Contra Exile match kicked off the show. It turns out the Nazo Fukumen has a third member since the female masked wrestler from the last show was replaced with a new masked man instead (Mio… I mean the mystery woman missed the show due to illness). Fukuda guessed Kijimuna was behind the mask. Kasai just casually said Ken Ohka was one of them. A Small Package led to Fukuda and Nazo Fukumen C pinning each other to end the match in a draw. As a result, Fukuda is now exiled from Union while Nazo Fukumen C had to unmask. The masked man was revealed to be Shota, who hadn’t wrestled in DDT or Union since last August and was desperate to return. He apologised for his plan and left the arena crying. Meanwhile Kasai consoled Fukuda and gave him a 5 bell salute.

The creator of the Union Fly To Everywhere World Title is now its first champion. Kaori Yoneyama defeated Cherry in the decision match to crown the first FTE Champion. Nazo Fukumen A challenged Kaori to a title match but Rumi Kazama refused to sanction the match because she said it is strictly a women’s championship. The masked man told Kazama to never forget those words and left. Yoneyama declared she will defend her new championship many times to any woman who challenges her.

The New Beijing team returned to Union with a fire in their belly. They were very angry over the controversial Japanese toilets versus Chinese toilets argument they had with Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai last month. Shiryu was upset that Cao Zhang was now put into a pointless match with the rookie SAGAT. He decided to make the match meaningful by presenting a mysterious bottle of liquid. Shiryu said it was a forbidden Vampire Elixir that was developed in China over 2,800 years ago. He claims the elixir can turn the dead into vampires. However, it is illegal in Japan to turn the dead into vampires so the bottle will be put up as a prize for the winner of the match. Cao Zhang defeated SAGAT and Shiryu forced SAGAT to drink the liquid. Shiryu promised that SAGAT will return with 4,000 years of Chinese technology powering him.

Kenny Omega will wrestle for Union on 5th April in Shin-Kiba 1st RING.

DDT “YOKOHAMA TWILIGHT 2013” Results

March 10, 2013

DDT “YOKOHAMA TWILIGHT 2013”, 10/03/2013
Yokohama Radiant Hall
255 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki & Hoshitango defeated MIKAMI, Makoto Oishi & Kijimuna when Hoshitango pinned Oishi with the Imachi Drop (12:26).
2. Hikaru Sato & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Akito & Daichi Kazato when Sato submitted Kazato with a Reverse Armbreaker (9:57).
3. Yuji Hino defeated Tetsuya Endo with the Sergeant Firing (9:11).
4. Michael Nakazawa Soaring Stock Market Research: Toru Owashi & DJ Nira defeated Danshoku Dino & Michael Nakazawa when Owashi pinned Nakazawa with the Nodowa Otoshi (10:06).
5. Teach Me What I Am Missing: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Keisuke Ishii with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (9:31).
6. Masa Takanashi defeated Konosuke Takeshita with the Doburoku (15:38).
7. 3 Way Tag Team Match: Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma defeated Yasu Urano & KUDO and Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi when Irie pinned Ihashi with the Flying Sausage (14:32).

Despite winning the main event and riding a wave of momentum, Shigehiro Irie admitted he is afraid he might lose his KO-D Openweight Title match against Kenny Omega on 20th March. A reinvigorated Keisuke Ishii (as explained below) slapped Irie and told him he is one step away from being the champion of DDT, he is strong and he will have Ishii & Takao Soma cheering for him at full force. Motivated, Irie vowed to become champion.

Masa Takanashi has a new flash pin to beware of. The Doburoku is a modified Kido Clutch named after an alcoholic beverage that Masa no doubt enjoys.

Kizaemon Saiga attended the show and provided a brief demonstration of his abilities inside the ring to promote his DDT debut on 20th March. Saiga said that when he was fighting in K-1, he thought it was cool to watch Kota Ibushi wrestling and wanted to try it himself.

Keisuke Ishii and Sanshiro Takagi had a brawl that stretched outside to the Yokohama street. Takagi attempted to drag Ishii in a Headlock over to a nearby radio station but the fight returned to the ring instead. Ishii was on the verge of victory when Takagi told him the important piece of advice he so desperately wanted was on the wall behind him. Takagi used the distraction to take control and win the match. Conceding defeat, Ishii begged Takagi to tell him what he was missing to become the perfect wrestler. Takagi told him that no wrestler is perfect. He told Ishii that before he was obsessed with becoming perfect, he was holding the DDT Extreme and KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles at the same time. He then lost the titles when he lost faith in himself. His advice to Ishii was to always hang in there ahead of the competition. However, Tsurumi Amon stepped in and told Ishii there actually was something important he and also Takagi should learn. But just when he was about to say it, Takagi was suddenly shot in the neck with a poisoned dart. Then Tsurumi was shot with a dart. Then the referee, then the ring announcer, then the video crew and so on until Keisuke Ishii was the only concious person left inside the ring. Ishii finally gave up and said he will believe in the best of his abilities from now on.

Danshoku Dino warned Toru Owashi & DJ Nira that Michael Nakazawa had become stronger thanks to his Last Man Standing match with Kenny Omega during the week. Dino was so confident in Nakazawa that he made him wrestle most of the match despite the fact that Michael had not fully recovered. Michael was not motivated to wrestle until Okinawa Pro wrestler Kijimuna appeared and said how much he admired him. Nakazawa fired himself up and cleared house but Owashi no sold his Ultimate Venom Arm and wiped him out with a Choke Slam.

Yukio Sakaguchi had to miss the show due to a suspected rubella illness. Daichi Kazato took his place in Match #2

Antonio Honda talked about Michael Jackson’s autobiography before the opening match for some reason. Why not?

GANBARE☆PRO “JUDGEMENT PRE-EVENT”, 06/03/2013
Nanhai Ichigaya Memorial Clinic
73 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Nana Kawasa defeated Ganbare Tamagawa with the Jack Nana (8:32).
2. Osamu Namiguchi defeated Yumehito Imanari with a Boston Crab (4:05).
3. Ken Ohka Vs Brian Cannon ended in a No Contest (6:15).
4. Osamu Namiguchi & Brian Cannon defeated Ken Ohka & Yumehito Imanari when Cannon pinned Imanari with the Liger Bomb (1:35).

The first Ganbare☆Pro event went ahead today with 73 fans packed inside a tiny room at the Nanhai Ichigaya Memorial Clinic to watch the beginning of Ken Ohka’s new promotion. Ohka, who was dressed a lot like cult death match wrestler Shoji Nakamaki took on foreign Jushin Liger fan Brian Cannon in the main event. Cannon used a lot of Liger’s signature moves but Ohka fired up and fought back. The match fell apart with both Yumehito Imanari and Osamu Namiguchi running in to start a brawl. A tag team match was made immediately with Ohka & Imanari pairing up against Cannon & Namiguchi. Cannon quickly pinned Imanari with the Liger Bomb.

Co-founder Wonder Man was forced to apologise to Ganbare Tamagawa for failing to find him an opponent for the event. Tamagawa was not happy and demanded a match, forcing Wonder Man to ask the audience if anyone knew how to wrestle. Luckily for him, Nana Kawasa from JWP was there and she accepted Tamagawa’s challenge. The rookie joshi surprised Tamagawa with a pin out of nowhere to win.

When the event was over, Ohka wasn’t sure whether or not the event was a success and if he should continue. He held a poll with the audience asking if Ganbare☆Pro should hold another show. The result was an overwhelming yes with 69 votes. Ohka announced the next show will be held on 17th April and he pleaded with everyone to buy three tickets each.

1. Daisuke Sasaki defeated Tetsuya Endo with the Napalm Of Love (9:59).
2. Masa Takanashi defeated DJ Nira with the Takatonic (9:07).

7. Kota Ibushi & Konosuke Takeshita defeated Antonio Honda & Yuji Hino when Ibushi pinned Honda with the Sit Down Last Ride (16:33).

Despite forming a tag team, Sanshiro Takagi and Toru Owashi complained about having to enter the ring together for their matches. They wanted to have separate entrances and played a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors to decide who gets to enter second. Owashi won but Tsurumi Amon told him he cannot use “Sandstorm” by Darude because Wanderlei Silva was using that song for the UFC show that was currently taking place in the Saitama Super Arena at the same time. Amon gave Owashi the choice of either keeping his music and coming out first for his match or taking the second entrance along with a new theme song. Owashi was torn with the decision but picked the second entrance. Takagi chose the theme song of a TV drama called “Best Divorce” as Owashi’s new song.

DDT “KO-D OPENWEIGHT TITLE ONE MATCH BOX OFFICE”, 28/02/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
266 Fans – Super No Vacancy

KO-D Openweight Title – Last Man Standing Falls Count Anywhere Match: Kenny Omega (c) defeated Michael Nakazawa with the One-Winged Angel (35:59).
*V3 for Kenny Omega.

Michael Nakazawa was in serious mode when he took on Kenny Omega for the KO-D Championship at today’s special one match show in Shin-Kiba 1st RING. Stakes were raised when Kenny added a Falls Count Anywhere rule to the Last Man Standing stipulation. Kenny wanted to make sure his friend was going to take this match seriously. He asked Michael if he wanted to wear his nurse’s outfit with the leather whip included. Michael refused. Kenny then offered Michael a bottle of lotion but that was also rejected. Kenny then took a swig of the bottle and sprayed Michael in the face with a mist of lotion. Michael attacked Kenny out of anger and the match began.

Throughout the 35 minute war, Kenny pinned Nakazawa with the Reverse Frankensteiner, the Croyt’s Wrath and a Doctor Bomb. Nakazawa was able to pin the champion after a Spear through the ropes, crashing into a table set up at ringside. He also got a pinfall after a few chairshots over the head, which Nakazawa apologised for as he struck Kenny over the head with them. However, the end finally came when Omega pinned Nakazawa with the One-Winged Angel followed by the complete 10 count from the referee. Shigehiro Irie came out to confront the champion he will face at Korakuen Hall on 20th March but the two settled their brief meeting with a handshake.

Kenny told the audience to all stand up and cheer for Michael. He was super happy to defend the title against his friend in an amazing match. Michael thanked Kenny and the fans, said today was painful but he did his best. They both hugged and Kenny left with his final words “This is really Michael Nakazawa. This is real DDT Pro Wrestling.”

Some announcements were made be Tsurumi Amon at the beginning of the show. Yuji Hino will face Tetsuya Endo at the 10th March show in Yokohama. The Monster Army will defend the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles against Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Gabaiji-chan on the 20th March show.

Teenage rookie sensation Konosuke Takeshita will be returning to high school in April to continue his senior year and will not be able to continue wrestling for the time being. He will appear on every DDT show in March for his last couple of matches for now. His two scheduled matches so far are against Masa Takanashi on 10/3 and Tatsumi Fujinami on 20/3.

A good friend of Kota Ibushi will make his pro wrestling debut on 20/3. Kizaemon Saiga is a pro kickboxer who has competed in K-1 and Krush. He became friends with Ibushi when they both modelled for a manga series called Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru back in 2009. Saiga’s will be tagging with Ibushi for his debut to take on Yasu Urano and FUMA.

HARD HIT “YOUTH” Results

HARD HIT “YOUTH”, 24/02/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
439 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yasu Kubota (1D/0E0/P) defeated FUMA (0D/1E/0P) with a Cross Kneebar (1:43).
2. Hidetaka Monma (1D/0E/0P) defeated Kotaro Nasu (0D/2E/0P) with a Triangle Choke (4:44).
3. ISAO (0D/1E/0P) defeated Kyosuke Sasaki (1D/1E/0P) on points (10:00).
4. Kamen Shooter Super Rider (0D/1E/0P) defeated NOSAWA Rongai (2D/0E/0P) with an Octopus Hold (2:16).
5. Asaki Honda Retirement Match: Yukio Sakaguchi (0D/1E/0P) Vs Asaki Honda (0D/1E/0P) ended in a draw on points (10:00).
5a. Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Asaki Honda by Knockout with a Flying Knee (1:02).
6. Masayuki Kono (0D/0E/0P) defeated Hayato Mashita (0D/2E/0P) with a Cross Armlock (2:55).
7. Hikaru Sato (0D/0E/0P) defeated Yuji Sakuragi (0D/0E/0P) by Disqualification after an illegal closed strike to the face (0:38).

Hiromitsu Kanehara appeared to announce his retirement match at “U-SPIRITS Again” in Korakuen Hall on 9th March. The UWF Theme played during his entrance. He came to the show today and saw how UWF had evolved and wished both Hikaru Sato and Yuji Sakuragi to do their best in the main event.

Unfortunately the main event suffered a premature end before it ever got the chance to get going. When Sato dove in to grab Sakuragi’s leg, he took a punch to the face that fractured his nose. Even though the punch was unintentional, the referee called a foul on Sakuragi for the use of a closed fist and disqualified him. Sakuragi apologised to both Sato and the fans in attendance for the disappointing end to the match. Sato thanked the fighters who debuted as well as those who ended their Hard Hit careers today. He also apologised to the fans.

Masayuki Kono’s first trip to Hard Hit was quick and easy. The All Japan wrestler was dominant over Hayato Mashita and got the submission win in just under three minutes.

Yukio Sakaguchi was the final opponent for Asaki Honda since he was retiring on this show. When the fight ended in a draw, Honda told Sato that it was not a convincing result for someone who is about to retire. The fight was restarted per Honda’s request, this time with no time limit so a definitive winner would be decided. It only took a minute for Sakaguchi to knockout Honda with a Flying Knee. During the retirement ceremony, Honda gave Sakaguchi his T-shirt while Sakaguchi gave Honda his dojo towel.

Kamen Shooter Super Rider told NOSAWA Rongai they have been around since the beginning of DDT (Rider is Koichiro Kimura, aka Super Uchu Rider who was part of the DDT roster up until 2006). Rider would like to face NOSAWA again in a more orthodox wrestling match over in Real Japan Pro Wrestling.
