7b. One Count Match: Seiya Morohashi defeated Kenny Omega with a Cradle Cutback (5:41).
7c. ABC Match: Kenny Omega defeated Seiya Morohashi with the Croyt’s Wrath (10:45).
*V1 for Kenny Omega.
8. KO-D Openweight Title Challenger Tournament – Final: Shigehiro Irie defeated Makoto Oishi with the Vertical Drop Back Flip (13:19).

As the winner of the MAGP Award tournament, Shigehiro Irie was given the grand prize of a KO-D Openweight Title shot on 20/3 and also 2000 yen. Irie correctly identified the cash prize in English this time. But he already knew how to say “two thousand,” so it’s hard to tell if his English is improving.

The DDT Extreme Title match was fought as a Best 2-out-of-3 match with each fall having a different stipulation chosen by a fan vote leading up to the show. The first round was a bodybuilding contest which Kenny won by audience vote. The second round was a match was a One Count match where you only have to pin your opponent for one second. Morohashi won by countering a Cradle from Omega. The final fall was an ABC Match where you can only win with a move beginning with the letter A, B or C. Omega won with the Croyt’s Wrath.

Michael Nakazawa approached Kenny after the match offering an apology for the sneak attack on him last week. This is despite the fact that Nakazawa did the same thing to Hikaru Sato after the NAKAZAWA 7 match earlier in the show. Kenny responded by kicking Nakazawa between the legs and yelled “Show me your guts! Show me your spirit!”

After defeating Keisuke Ishii, Tomoaki Honma said he will tell Ishii what he was missing. But disaster struck when and invisible blow dart shot into his neck and made him faint. Ishii had enough with the constant teasing and challenged Sanshiro Takagi to a match at Yokohama on 10th March.

Michael Nakazawa created the NAKAZAWA 7 match to help prepare for his upcoming KO-D Title shot in four days time. It was pretty much a 6-on-1 Handicap match where a wrestler exits the match after beating Nakazawa. It ended with Hikaru Sato placing Nakazawa in an Ankle Hold but Nakazawa refused to submit. He tried to withstand the pain for as long as he could but Tetsuya Endo threw in a t-shirt to forfeit the match for Nakazawa’s safety. Sato told Nakazawa he was rooting for him against Kenny Omega and Nakazawa’s response, as mentioned above, was to kick Sato in the groin. Nakazawa then yelled he will always be standing and will continue to stand. If I understood him correctly, Nakazawa could be facing Omega in a Last Man Standing match for the KO-D Title.

The Monster Army declared the ring as their battlefield after winning the opening match.

HARASHIMA appeared and apologised to the fans for pulling out of the show due to a mandible fracture.

Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi compared their rivalry to the likes of Stan Hansen & Bruiser Brody or Genichiro Tenryu & Jumbo Tsuruta.

The second Tokyo Women’s Wrestling preview event will take place on 25th March.

Ken Ohka held a press conference inside the building to announce his brand new promotion Ganbare☆Wrestling. Out of the 15,000 yen Ohka stole from Tsurumi Amon found, he still has 10,005 yen to spend. He is planning to hold Ganbare’s first event in Nankai on 6th March.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2013” Results

February 17, 2013

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2013”, 17/02/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,532 Fans – Super No Vacancy

0. Dark Match: Hiroshi Fukuda defeated DJ Nira with the Retrofit Perfect Plex (6:08).
1. Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki, Hoshitango & Yuji Hino defeated MIKAMI, Masa Takanashi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Tetsuya Endo when Honda pinned Endo with the Diving Fist Drop (9:23).
2. Toru Owashi Return Assessment: Toru Owashi & Ken Ohka defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Michael Nakazawa when Owashi pinned Nakazawa after Takagi gave him the Stunner (0:07).
2a. Sanshiro Takagi & Michael Nakazawa defeated Toru Owashi & Ken Ohka when Takagi pinned Ohka after he gave Nakazawa the Sit Down Himawari Bomb on top of Ohka (6:57).
3. Jushin Thunder Liger & Hiromu Takahashi defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Akito when Takahashi pinned Akito with the Amiuchi Bomb (9:40).
4. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma defeated Kota Ibushi, Gota Ihashi & Yoshihiko when Ishii pinned Ihashi with the Kneel Kick (12:18).
5. KUDO Comeback Match: KUDO & Yasu Urano defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when KUDO pinned Dino with the Diving Double Knee Drop (17:17).
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) defeated HARASHIMA with the One-Winged Angel (20:24).
*V2 for Kenny Omega.

Kenny Omega requested a match against his good friend Michael Nakazawa. When Omega first came to Japan, Nakazawa was there for him and has been ever since. However, he doesn’t want to have a comedy match. He knows Nakazawa can make it to the next step and wants to give him one chance to prove it. Nakazawa thanked Omega for the opportunity, said he will be at 120% and will beat Omega.

KUDO achieved something rare today. He is one of the few wrestlers in Japan to win his first match back from an injury. He was rewarded with the MAGP Award from Tsurumi Amon. A tournament between all of the MAGP Award winners will take place in Shin-Kiba 1st RING on 24/2. KUDO will compete with Makoto Oishi, Yasu Urano and the next person to win the award.

Keisuke Ishii’s quest to discover what he is missing to be a complete pro wrestler has brought him face to face with Yoshihiko. The doll wrestled dressed in the AKB48 “Flying Get” costume. Since it has no hair, I’m guessing Yoshihiko was pretending to be Minami Minegishi, the AKB48 singer who controversially shaved her head as punishment for being caught spending the night with a male friend. Drift was able to beat The Golden Rendezvous with Ishii pinning Gota Ihashi. Afterwards Ishii demanded Yoshihiko to tell him what he was missing, but it stayed silent. Ishii then demanded Sanshiro Takagi to come out and tell him. Instead he got a video message from President Takagi telling him he was still a student and he needed to wrestle a teacher. That teacher is Tomoaki Honma! Ishii Vs Honma was made for the 24/2 Shin-Kiba show.

Jushin Liger had some pretty nasty things to say about DDT and their fans after he & Hiromu Takahashi beat Yukio Sakaguchi & Akito. Liger called all DDT fans rotten and then challenged Sakaguchi to a singles match anywhere, even in DDT if they have to. A voice in the crowd yelled at them to do the match now and Liger said he would, leading him and Takahashi to attack Sakaguchi and Akito and start a brawl between the four.

Toru Owashi has been welcomed back into DDT after his assessment match. Sanshiro Takagi wasn’t interested in being involved and gave his own partner Michael Nakazawa a Stunner when the match begun. Owashi pinned Nakazawa but Tsurumi Amon demanded the match to restart and pleaded with Takagi to take the match seriously. The rematch began and Takagi gave Nakazawa another Stunner. Nakazawa recovered and Takagi soon got involved in the match properly, using Nakazawa as a weapon on Ken Ohka to win the match. Takagi then accepted Owashi back into DDT. Ohka however was very upset. He resigned from Union and his loss here means he is not good enough for DDT. While Amon tried to console him, Ohka “found” an envelope in Amon’s pocket with 15,000 yen inside it. He decided to start his own wrestling promotion with blackjack and hookers! Takagi told Ohka how difficult it is to launch a promotion with only 15,000 yen but was so impressed with his passion that he allowed Ohka to take Amon’s money and go ahead with his plan.

A big name was announced for “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2013” on 18th August, the second of DDT’s two Sumo Hall shows. Kensuke Sasaki will be there!

One of my favorite matches in DDT will be brought back on 20th March, The Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal! Hikaru Sato also announced a one day grappling tournament will take place that same day.

Kazuki Hirata will return from injury on 20/3 for his first match since January of last year when he tore his anterior cruciate ligament.

UNION “GOOD FORTUNE DEMONS 2013” Results

February 13, 2013

kodaka-kengo

UNION “GOOD FORTUNE DEMONS 2013”, 13/02/2013
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
251 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai defeated Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang when Fukuda pinned Zhang after hitting him with a medal (8:35).
2. Seiya Morohashi defeated Goro Jr. (w/ El Hijo del Goro) with the Crippler Crossface (8:38).
3. Winner Names & Designs New Championship: Masako Takanashi & Kaori Yoneyama defeated Cherry & Mio Shirai when Yoneyama pinned Cherry with a Roll Through German Suplex (10:09).
4. Loser Withdraws From Union: Keisuke Ishii defeated Ken Ohka (w/ Mio Shirai) with the Kneel Kick (9:45).
*Ken Ohka & Mio Shirai are kind of forced to withdraw from Union.
5. 4 Way Tag Team Match: Menso~re Oyaji & Iriomote Wild Cat defeated Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA, Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma and Daichi Kazato & SAGAT (11:09).
5a. Menso~re Oyaji & Iriomote Wild Cat eliminated Daichi Kazato & SAGAT when Wild Cat pinned Kazato (6:57).
5b. Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA eliminated Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma when Ishikawa pinned Soma with the Giant Clutch (8:33).
5c. Menso~re Oyaji & Iriomote Wild Cat eliminated Shuji Ishikawa & FUMA when Wild Cat pinned FUMA (11:09).
6. Kengo Ohka defeated Isami Kodaka with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (13:53).

Kengo Ohka thanked Isami Kodaka for their match in the main event and told him he will remember it fondly. This may be Kengo’s last match in Union for a while and he might go back to wrestling as Kengo Mashimo the next time he wrestles here.

Seiya Morohashi has been nominated to be the next challenger for the DDT Extreme Title. Negotiations have begun to make Morohashi Vs Kenny Omega for the title happen sometime in the near future.

Ken Ohka and Keisuke Ishii fought each other with a lot on the line. If Ohka won, Ishii and the rest of Drift would be forced to leave Union. But if Ishii won, Ohka and Mio Shirai would have to do the same. Shirai did not want to have to rely on Ohka for her future in Union but eventually cheered for her “pet” to win. Ohka took down Ishii with the Spear Of Fire but Ishii recovered and was just too much for Ohka to handle. The Kneel Kick ended the match but Ishii decided to throw out the stipulation. Drift’s war with Union was exhausting him and he felt there was nothing to gain if all he did was beat up Ohka over and over. So Drift announced they are withdrawing from Union after today.

Naomi Susan was relieved the stipulation was gone and that Ohka and Mio could stay. However, Ohka now believed Union was too small for a “Messiah” like him and there are plenty of big name promotions he could now work for. Mio slapped some sense into Ohka and he eventually admitted he wants to stay in Union. But his mind was made up. He and Shirai would keep his word and leave Union.

However, Ohka and Shirai would make their presence felt again at the end of the show. Two masked figures interrupted the post show speeches by kidnapping Jun Kasai and holding him hostage under the threat of stabbings with a ball-point pen. The masked man and women demanded to be booked for a match at Union’s next show in Yokohama on 10th March. Naomi Susan easily recognised who the duo was and happily accepted their demand. She actually felt relieved that Ohka and Shirai quickly found a way to get back into Union.

Kaori Yoneyama won the right to name and design Union’s new championship. She hopes to have it finished in time for Union’s next show and promises to become the first champion.

SAGAT is now signed as a full time Union wrestler. He has been a part timer for the brand for almost a year. SAGAT is from Iruma, Saitama and was born on 26th July, 1990. He is 168cm high and weighs 100kg. His signature moves are the Gore Grind, the Belly To Belly Suplex and the Sole Butt.

Union’s other new rookie Mitomi Masayuki will have his first match for the brand in Yokohama on 10/3.

The lovely Princess Makoto did not accompany Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang for their match against Hiroshi Fukuda & Jun Kasai. Rumour has it she (literally) jumped ship from New Beijing Pro Wrestling to another Chinese promotion called Wrestling New Dynasty.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT SERIES 2013 IN OYAMA” Results

February 11, 2013

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT SERIES 2013 IN OYAMA”, 11/02/2013
Oyama City Cultural Center
208 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Yukio Sakaguchi & Makoto Oishi defeated MIKAMI & Masa Takanashi when Sakaguchi pinned Takanashi with a Right Ad Left High Kick (7:55).
2. Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma defeated Sanshiro Takagi & DJ Nira when Ishii pinned Nira with a Fisherman Buster (10:34).

5. Shigehiro Irie defeated Yasu Urano with an Elbow Butt (17:40).
6. 3 Way Match: Kenny Omega defeated HARASHIMA and Daisuke Sasaki when Omega pinned Sasaji with the Coyt’s Wrath (14:10).

Although nothing was settled between them, Kenny Omega won the main event match that also featured his challenger for the KO-D Title, HARASHIMA. Daisuke Sasaki was the third wheel and even came close to winning the 3 Way match when he gave HARASHIMA the Now Or Never. However, Omega cut him off with the Hadouken and then pinned Sasaki with the Croyt’s Wrath. Omega told HARASHIMA that wrestling him is fun and he looks forward to their match on 17/2.

Shigehiro Irie was given the MAGP Award for the show along with the cash prize of 500 yen. Irie tried to speak English during his acceptance speech but it still needs work. He called the prize “Five million dollars” for example.

Keisuke Ishii has been left puzzled after losing to MIKAMI yesterday. MIKAMI told Ishii that he is missing something fatal that would make him a successful professional wrestler but fainted before he could tell him. Ishii was so desperate to find the answer that he asked DJ Nira during their tag team match if he knew. Nira said the answer was on his shoe. When Ishii bent over to check the shoe, Nira gave him a DDT. Ishii later pinned Nira a Fisherman Buster. He asked him again and just when Nira was about to give an honest answer he fainted. Ishii wondered who else had the answer and Sanshiro Takagi told him he knew who to look for. Yoshihiko! Good thing Ishii and Yoshihiko will be part of a 6-Man Tag Team match on 17/2 in Korakuen Hall.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE FIRST MEETING” Results

January 30, 2013

kiba-yamashita-kanna

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE FIRST MEETING”, 30/01/2013
Akihabara Twin Box
150 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Sambo Exhibition: Chikage Kiba Vs Daisuke Kiso ended in a Time Limit Draw (3:00).
2. Miyu Yamashita defeated Kanna Shinmei with a Face Kick (3:46).

Tokyo Joshi Pro have declared their first practice event a great success. Trainees Kanna Shinmei, Chikage Kiba and Miyu Yamashita competed in their first contests in public at a small event at an Akihabra concert hall. The show also featured different idol music acts performing before the two matches.

Kanna Shinmei has decided to use KANNA as her ring name and wrestled in a camouflaged top while Yamashita wore a pink bodice and danced her way to the mat where the contests took place. KANNA put on a strong performance and almost won with a Boston Crab but Yamashita fought through the pain and escaped. She then struck KANNA with a Face Kick combination that floored her opponent and kept her down for the pin. Yamashita was in tears of joy after winning the match and encouraged the audience to sing and dance together.

The third trainee Chikage Kiba got to show off her sambo skills in an exhibition against DDT referee Daisuke Kiso. The exhibition only lasted for three minutes but Kiba was able to hold her own, escaping Kiso’s throw attempts and locking in a Cross Armbar at the end. When time ran out, neither competitor was declared the winner.

Each girl gave out comments after the show. Kiba was disappointed her match was so short and looks forward to her first wrestling match. Yamashita was grateful to all the people that attended the show and promised she will do her best not to lose to KANNA the next time they fight. KANNA thanked DDT and Tetsuya Koda for giving her a chance to become a wrestler and also showed gratitude towards Kiba and Yamashita. She joked that she did not like Yamashita when they first met but today she fell in love with her.

Tetsuya Koda said it will be a while until Tokyo Joshi Pro holds its first proper show but noted the trainees are growing quickly as wrestlers. Koda wants to hold more practice events before the girls are ready to officially debut.

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2013” Results

January 27, 2013

omega-rockmen

DDT “SWEET DREAMS! 2013”, 27/01/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,542 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Makoto Oishi & Akito defeated Tetsuya Endo & Daichi Kazato when Akito submitted Kazato with a Figure 4 Leg Lock (7:14).
2. Planning The New Year – 1 Vs 5 Handicap Match: Gota Ihashi defeated Hiroshi Fukuda, Michael Nakazawa, Hoshitango, Batten Tamagawa & DJ Nira when Ihashi pinned Fukuda with a Crucifix Pin (5:43).
3. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & FUMA defeated MIKAMI, Hikaru Sato & Masa Takanashi when HARASHIMA pinned Takanashi with the Somato (10:53).
4. Danshoku Dino & Yoshiko defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Yuzuki Aikawa when Dino pinned Takagi with the Shin Danshoku Driver (10:32).
5. Kota Ibushi defeated Konosuke Takeshita with a Boston Crab (11:48).
6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki & Yuji Hino defeated Keisuke Ishii, Takao Soma & Shigehiro Irie (c) when Sasaki pinned Ishii with the Now Or Never (10:32).
*Team Dream Futures fail in V1. Monster Army becomes the 2nd KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!
7. KO-D Openweight Title & DDT Extreme Title: Kenny Omega (c) defeated Isami Kodaka (c) with the One-Winged Angel (23:14).
*V1 for Kenny Omega. Isami Kodaka fails in V1. Kenny Omega becomes the 22nd DDT Extreme Champion!

Kenny Omega can now call himself a Double Champion! He now adds the DDT Extreme Title to keep his KO-D Openweight Title company. Omega has his theme music played live by the Capcom band ROCK-MEN while Isami Kodaka was accompanied by members of Union as well as MIKAMI. The One-Winged Angel was the deciding factor and Isami admitted defeat afterwards. Omega nominated HARASHIMA as his next challenger for beating him in the KO-D Tag Team Title match from a week ago. Kenny pointed out that HARASHIMA has yet to beat him in a singles match.

Prepare the tanks, the Monster Army are now the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions! Not a bad birthday present for Yuji Hino, who turns 28 today. Antonio Honda declared he will start the auction for the belts at 300 million yen. Keisuke Ishii was devastated to lose the 6-Man Tag Title so soon after losing the DDT Extreme Title.

Toru Owashi appeared to announce his full time return to wrestling. He has spent the last couple of years away from wrestling raising enough money to move to Tokyo. Now he is running his own shop in Tokyo and is able to wrestle again. Sanshiro Takagi isn’t excited about the news. He thinks DDT has enough wrestlers and wonders why Owashi hasn’t gone looking for other promotions. Tsurumi Amon will put Owashi through a series of matches to see if he is good enough to come back.

Yuzuki Aikawa’s DDT farewell was ruined by Danshoku Dino & Akiawa’s fellow Stardom wrestler Yoshiko. Dino debuted a brand new finisher to pin Sanshiro Takagi. From what I can guess, the Shin Danshoku Driver is a Beach Break with the victim’s head shoved into the back of Dino’s tights. Takagi demanded a rematch and told Aikawa that there is one place she hasn’t bounced and wrestled in yet, the streets!

KUDO will return to action on the 17/2 Korakuen Hall show, making the Ura-Shima-Kudo unit complete again. FUMA interrupted the announcement saying that the group is now called Ura-Shima-Fuma. FUMA and Yasu Urano argued over who is actually a member of the group with Urano pointing out that FUMA is challenging him and HARASHIMA for the KO-D Tag Titles on 10/2. They shook hands but Urano then blindsided FUMA with the Tombstone Piledriver.

Hiroshi Fukuda was not happy to take on five wrestlers in a Handicap match. He demanded to Tsurumi Amon that if he won the match, he should get a prize of his choosing. Amon accepted the idea but Fukuda tricked him by switching spots with Gota Ihashi before the match. DJ Nira defended Ihashi and teamed with him to make it 4 Vs 2 only to betray him with a Rocket Punch. Fukuda gave Ihashi the Perfect Plex but only got a two count. Fukuda reacted with a loud “Nooooooooooo!!!!” Ihashi capitlised on Fukuda’s shock and pinned him to win the match. Amon asked an upset Fukuda what his wish was. Fukuda wanted to become just like Vince and promote his own show. Amon misunderstood and thought Fukuda meant Vince Russo and he wanted the return of WCW and Monday Nitro. Fukuda meant he wanted to run his own brand in Shin-Kiba and turn it into an American wrestling territory. He wants to call it United Superstars Action, USA for shot. Amon actually liked the idea and told Fukuda it can happen in the spring. Fukuda is already taking match suggestions on Twitter. One request was Antonio Honda Vs Jerry Lawler. Fukuda replied he will save that match for when he books Madison Square Garden.

Shigehiro Irie has signed a contract with DDT and is now an official full time DDT wrestler. Irie noted his humble beginnings wrestling in Nagoya leading him into DDT. Tsurumi Amon gave Irie his first order as a DDT employee, name every season in English. Irie could only knew Summer. Amon told him to do his best in the future.

There is another trainee coming into DDT. So far the name for this person I can find is T. Koda. The person was joined in the ring by the Tokyo Women’s Wrestling trainees during the announcement. Referee Daisuke Kiso was chosen to be Chikage Kiba’s opponent for the Sambo Exhibition on TWW’s preview event in Akihabara on 30/1.

7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano (c) defeated Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega when HARASHIMA pinned Omega with the Somato (20:02).
*V1 for Ura-Shima.

Looks like Kenny Omega’s chance to become a DDT Triple Crown holder is not going to happen anytime soon. The KO-D Openweight Champion was pinned by HARASHIMA which will certainly give him a KO-D Title shot in the future. Yasu Urano admitted he was terribly worried about defending the KO-D Tag Team Titles against the Golden Lovers but with this win he can confidently say he and HARASHIMA are the strongest team ever in DDT! HARASHIMA said they will defend the belt many more times.

7. DDT Extreme Title: Isami Kodaka defeated Keisuke Ishii (c) with the Zan Isamu Leg (18:25).
*Keisuke Ishii fails in V2. Isami Kodaka becomes the 21st DDT Extreme Champion!

The DDT Extreme Title is once again wrapped around the waist of Isami Kodaka. The main event of today’s Union show saw Kodama defeat the champion Keisuke Ishii in a rare traditional singles match for that belt. After Isami’s victory, Ken Ohka took the time to brag about Kodaka winning back the title, asking Ishii why he lost so easily as well as calling him a third-rate wrestler. Ohka then challenged Ishii to a match there and then but Naomi Susan decided to hold off that match until next month.

Jun Kasai defeated Hiroshi Fukuda in the Texas Tiger Rope Philadelphia Banana Death Match. However, he did not win the Union Non-Certified US Heavyweight Title. According to Fukuda’s rulebook, the Union US Title can only change hands via pinfall or submission and Kasai won the match by eating a banana from all four corners of the ring. Later on, Kasai asked Fukuda what he thinks about America. Fukuda said he wants Japan to become a territory of the United States. When asked why, Fukuda said one of the pros will be bathrooms switching over from Japanese toilets to American toilets. Kasai joked that Keiji Muto has bad knees because of Japanese toilets. He was touched by Fukuda’s answer and since he is also a lover of liberty, Kasai agreed to help out Fukuda’s plan to Americanize the world!

Hiro Tsumaki requested a rematch with Kengo Ohka after he lost to him. Today was also Hiro’s last show wrestling under that name. He wants a new name for a new year. Tsumaki’s new name will be chosen from fan suggestions.

Ryuichi Sekine wrestled the Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match while dressed as Ricky Fuji.

Union has a new rookie signing coming soon! Mitomi Masayuki is 170cm high and weighs 81kg. He has previously wrestled as Go Shiofuki and already made a couple of appearances in DDT under that name.

Ken Ohka set up a flea market outside Shin-Kiba 1st RING before the show. He was selling more than just DDT and Union merchandise, one of the items on sale was a Sega Saturn arcade stick.
