6. King Of DDT 2015 – Final: Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Konosuke Takeshita with the Right Knee Of God (18:13).

Yukio Sakaguchi is the winner of this year’s King Of DDT and is guaranteed a KO-D Openweight Title match at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2015” this August. Sakaguchi defeated Kazusada Higuchi by referee stoppage in the semi finals while Konosuke Takeshita overcame Daisuke Sasaki. In the final Sakaguchi used his knee strikes to great effect and finished off Takeshita with the newly named Right Knee Of God. Right now the Sumo Hall match-up is Sakaguchi versus KUDO, two wrestlers from the same unit. That almost wasn’t the case…

All of the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts have now been used up and as a result caused some temporary chaos in the main event scene. Yasu Urano pinned Masa Takanashi in a 6-Man Tag Team match to win his contract. Urano then cashed in the contract for a KO-D Title match against KUDO there and then. The two fought hard and were both laid out when Ken Ohka suddenly appeared. Taking a page from Seth Rollins, Ohka cashed in his own contract in the middle of the match! He went after KUDO but had to settle with pinning Urano to become the new champion! However KUDO stayed in the ring and cashed in his own contract for an immediate title match. Ohka fought with all his heart but was out of his depth. KUDO defeated Ohka to win back the title and will go on to the Sumo Hall main event.

Hiroshi Tanahashi made a surprise appearance to announce he will be wrestling at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2015”. He wanted to wrestle against the best wrestler in DDT and that is HARASHIMA! HARASHIMA said he isn’t normally interested in wrestlers from other companies but he is interested in fighting Tanahashi.

Shigehiro Irie stole Kazuki Hirata’s glasses before the opening match and used them to dance. He and Hirata had a dance battle for the glasses that ended in Irie knocking out Hirata with the Beast Bomber.

DJ Nira grouped together Gota Ihashi, the referee and ring attendants to shield himself from Kota Umeda during the King Of Dark Title match. Nira then climbed on top of the group to do an assisted Rocket Punch but Umeda High Kicked him in mid-air for the pin. Since Ihashi was not involved in the result he is still the King Of Dark Champion.

Genichiro Tenryu will team with Sanshiro Takagi & Saki Akai for a 6-Person Tag Team match at the Sumo Hall show. Their opponents will be revealed at a later date. Sanshiro Takagi’s original idea was to do Tenryu Vs Akai but he decided the two teaming together would be more interesting.

A pop idol and former Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion made her return to DDT for an announcement. LiLiCo will have her debut pro wrestling match at Sumo Hall. She has already been training for three months and she wants a match with Gorgeous Matsuno.

June 15, 2015

DDT “KING OF DDT 2015 OSAKA”, 14/06/2015
Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium #2
1,042 Fans – Super No Vacancy

0. King Of Dark Title: Suguru Miyatake (c) & Kota Umeda defeated Gota Ihashi & Hiroshi Fukuda when Miyatake pinned Ihashi with the Heart Attack (6:45).
*Suguru Miyatake passes D2. Gota Ihashi becomes the 3rd King Of Dark Champion.
1. HARASHIMA, Akiro, Yasu Urano, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Saki Akai defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata, Devin Sparks & Ric Ellis when HARASHIMA pinned Hirata with the Somato (10:28).

4. King Of DDT 2015 – Round 2: Konosuke Takeshita defeated Masa Takanashi with the German Suplex (9:47).

7. King Of DDT 2015 – Round 2: Kazusada Higuchi defeated Shigehiro Irie with the Goten (18:23).

The King Of DDT semi-finals are set. Kazusada Higuchi Vs Yukio Sakaguchi and Konosuke Takeshita Vs Daisuke Sasaki will take place on 28th June along with the grand final. Sakaguchi dispatched Makoto Oishi with the Right Knee Of God. Takeshita narrowly avoided being wrongly disqualified when Masa Takanashi faked getting hit with the DDT Extreme Title belt he stole from Akito again after Match #1. Sasaki got the upset win over his stablemate Kota Ibushi. Sasaki seated Ibushi on a chair outside the ring and did a Super Diving Elbow Drop from the top rope onto him. Sasaki avoided the Sit Down Last Ride and pulled in the ref to distract Ibushi and flash pin him with the Sasaki Huracanrana. Ibushi was disappointed to lose and blamed Suguru Miyatake. Finally in the battle of the heavyweights Higuchi scored a great victory over Shigehiro Irie. Higuchi offered a handshake after the match but Irie rejected it.

DDT will move up from Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium #2 to the bigger Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium #1 on 28th November. The event is called “OSAKA OCTOPUS 2015” and the main event will be the KO-D Openweight Champion defending the title against the winner of this year’s DDT Dramatic General Election. Sanshiro Takagi spoke about the building hosting matches like Nobuhiko Takada Vs Bob Backlund as well as cards from UWF and SWS.

Despite being thrown off by MIKAMI’s speed and use of ladders, Strong BJ succeeded in another KO-D Tag Team Titles defence. Yuji Okabayashi is confident he and Daisuke Sekimoto can beat anyone in DDT. Right now there are no immediate challengers in line.

Ken Ohka appeared in the balcony after the 4 Way Match to give another warning to KUDO about cashing in his Right To Challenge contract. Amon Tsurumi apologised to KUDO for allowing Ohka to sneak into the show again. KUDO didn’t care because he knows Ohka is not going to cash in anytime soon.

Hello darkness my old friend. Gota Ihashi is now a two time King Of Dark Champion. He never got a chance to enjoy wrestling outside of the preshow. Amon Tsurumi happily handed Ihashi the belt after the match.

Saitama Kasukabe Hall
460 Fans – Super No Vacancy

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi (c) defeated Suguru Miyatake with a Cross Body Attack (3:43).
*Gota Ihashi passes D12. Suguru Miyatake becomes the 2nd King Of Dark Champion.

*KUDO wins one of Danshoku Dino’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts.
7. King Of DDT 2015 – Round 1: Daisuke Sasaki defeated Kota Umeda with the Cross Facelock (13:00).
8. King Of DDT 2015 – Round 1: Kota Ibushi defeated Kazuki Hirata with the Sit Down Last Ride (7:31).
9. King Of DDT 2015 – Round 1: Kazusada Higuchi defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Goten (11:04).
10. King Of DDT 2015 – Round 1: Shigehiro Irie defeated Yasu Urano with the Package Piledriver (24:44).

An eventful King Of DDT 1st Round filled up the majority of today’s show. Yukio Sakaguchi beat Keisuke Ishii and compared the tournament to climbing a mountain. Makoto Oishi overcame Hiroshi Fukuda’s shenanigans and used Fukuda’s USA flag to celebrate afterwards. Masa Takanashi attacked Akito as he entered the ring. Akito countered the Takatonic into a Knee Crusher but Takanashi withstood the pain and cradled Akito for the fast victory. Takanashi stole the DDT Extreme Title afterwards but gave it back when HARASHIMA confronted him backstage. Konosuke Takeshita bested Antonio Honda in the battle of Happy Motels. Takeshita hopes to fight for the KO-D Openweight Title at Sumo Hall this year instead of facing a guest wrestler like last time. Daisuke Sasaki went over Kota Umeda. Sasaki planned on Umeda relying too much on High Kicks and he was right. Kazuki Hirata going full blast right from the start wasn’t enough to beat Kota Ibushi. The HIRATA GO glasses were placed on Ibushi’s face but he quickly took them off so he could win the match. Kazusada Higuchi restarted his journey towards another KO-D Title shot by overpowering Tomomitsu Matsunaga. Finally Shigehiro Irie earned a hard fought victory over Yasu Urano.

The 2nd round matches on 14th June are Yukio Sakaguchi Vs Makoto Oishi, Masa Takanashi Vs Konosuke Takeshita, Daisuke Sasaki Vs Kota Ibushi and Kazusada Higuchi Vs Shigehiro Irie.

Well this is a first. The reigning KO-D Champion now has possession of a Right To Challenge Contract. KUDO wiped out both Danshoku Dino and Soma Takao in a 3 Way Match. Takao had Dino in position for the Gin And Tonic when KUDO hit the Diving Double Knee Drop on Takao. KUDO then hit a second Diving Double Knee Drop this time on Dino to win one of his two contracts. Amon Tsurumi decided that if KUDO is still holding both the KO-D Title and the contract at the 9th August Beer Garden show (the last DDT event before “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2015”) then the contract will be declared invalid and removed from contention.

KUDO and Tsurumi were then interrupted when Ken Ohka showed up outside the building and stood on two chairs at the window with a microphone. He said he was monitoring KUDO and then promoted tomorrow’s Ganbare☆Wrestling show in Tokyo. Tsurumi told Ohka it’s dangerous to stand next to the glass like that. KUDO said Ohka has certainly changed but he will crush him anytime. KUDO then said he hopes to defend the belt and then have a toast at Sumo Hall.

Sanshiro Takagi and the Arrogant Bastards were determined to successfully perform the DEATH FROM ABOVE Diving Headbutt. They finally succeeded on the third try and got the win. The Bastards were informed they only have two more dates left on their Japan visit and they requested to add one more before leaving. They were told the only extra show available is a Ganbare☆Wrestling event taking place tomorrow. Neither knew what that company was but they accepted the gig none the less.

At last Gota Ihashi has escaped from his dark match nightmare. An angry Ihashi went into his King Of Dark Title defence complaining about forever being an opening act. As Suguru Miyatake was about to respond, Ihashi attacked him to start the match. Ihashi quickly went for a Moonsault but missed. However a Cross Body Block shockingly got him the three count and transferred the King Of Dark Title over to Miyatake.

*V1 for HARASHIMA. Super Sasadango Machine cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.
6. King Of DDT 2014 – Final: Isami Kodaka defeated KUDO with the Zan Isamu Leg (16:06).

The new King Of DDT is not from DDT at all. After a strong singles run in Big Japan, Union’s very own Isami Kodaka has now scored success in DDT and will be one half of the main event at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2014”. Kodaka earned that spot by beating two of DDT’s most decorated wrestlers. In the semi-finals of the tournament KUDO defeated Shigehiro Irie and Kodaka beat Kota Ibushi. The latter match featured a crazy moment where both Kodaka and Ibushi fought each other on top of the entrance gate. In the final Kodaka attempted to use El Generico’s Brainbustaaaaahhhhh!!!!! but KUDO escaped. Kodaka then tried the European Clutch he used to beat Ibushi but that also did not work. KUDO fought back with Spin Kicks and High Kicks but Kodaka countered it into a Brainbuster and finally won with the Zan Isamu Leg. Kodaka dedicated the win to Union and will go on to face the KO-D Openweight Champion.

But who the champion will be on 17th August is the question. HARASHIMA found out who his next challenger is before Kodaka and also came close to losing the title at the same time. Kenny Omega pinned Yasu Urano in the 3 Way Tag Match to win his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract. Kenny said he wants to be in the main event at Sumo Hall and the only way he can do that is to win the championship from HARASHIMA. Kenny then challenged HARASHIMA to a title match at the final Korakuen Hall show before Sumo Hall on 20th July. And then Super Sasadango Machine’s music started playing…

Sasadango came out with the other remaining Right To Challenge Contract and said he wanted to be the KO-D Champion. He spent the past few months researching what it would take for him to become champion. He then showed a PowerPoint presentation of his research. He concluded that he needed a powerful special move in order to win so he came up with what he calls the Vertical Drop Lehman Shock (imagine Prince Devitt’s Bloody Sunday but without hooking the arm). According to Sasadango, hitting the Lehman Shock three times is all he needs to deplete all of his opponent’s HP. He was going to prove it right away because he then cashed in his contract! Sasadango hit the Lehman Shock over and over (and got the crowd to chant “One More Time!” after every one) but HARASHIMA just kept kicking out. The champion recovered and hit Sasadango with a High Kick and the Somato. That was all it took for a successful title defence. After the match HARASHIMA identified Sasadango as Muscle Sakai and said his research was interesting but forgot something very important. HARASHIMA can recover up to 80% health from the support of his fans and tonight he was restored to 90%. He still thought it was a fun match though.

Tsurumi Amon announced a big match that he believed would attract a lot of attention for “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2014”. DDT’s rookie phenom Konosuke Takeshita will take on New Japan superstar Hiroshi Tanahashi! The star made his entrance, played his air guitar, unbuttoned his shirt and introduced himself as the once in a century talent. He then told Takeshita he was looking forward to their match. Takeshita’s response was that he is a one in 200 million million years including the Jurrasic Era talent and his ability outweighs all!

Michael Nakazawa was the sole survivor of the Elimination Match but not without the surprise help of his new ally. Nakazawa had a surprisingly good showing in the match, eliminating everyone in Sanshito Takagi’s team. When the match came down to Nakazawa and Takagi, Nakazawa used referee Daisuke Kiso as a shield from a Takagi Lariat. Then he wiped out replacement referee Yukinori Matsui with the Ultimate Venom Arm. Nakazawa called out the next replacement referee, Minoru Suzuki! Tsurumi Amon complained about Suzuki’s appearance but immediately backed down when Suzuki looked at him. Takagi pinned Nakazawa but Suzuki counted slowly until there was a kickout. Nakazawa rolled over Takagi and Suzuki did a fast count but Takagi kicked out. Takagi got angry at Suzuki and got put in a Sleeper Hold for his troubles. Suzuki then planted him with the Gotch-Style Piledriver and Nakazawa covered Takagi to win the match. Nakazawa taunted Takagi after the match and told him to quit before he faces himself and Suzuki at Sumo Hall. Takagi said they will have a Street Wrestling match and his partner is Jun Kasai! The Crazy Monkey appeared and stood face to face with Suzuki. He simply told him “Nice to meet you”.

Kota Ibushi will celebrate his 10th anniversary in wrestling during July. He has two DVDs coming out featuring his best matches for DDT and New Japan respectively. There will also be a 10th Anniversary show in Osaka on 13th July. Ibushi gets to decide the card for the show but fireworks will be prohibited.

Tokyo Women’s Wrestling members Miyu Yamashita and Erin announced a special Tokyo Joshi show on 11th July in Ichigaya for the injured Ririko Kendo. Kendo is currently out of action with injuries to both her left and right arms. Afterwards Shigehiro Irie and Akito announced DDT will be part of “KENGO TAKAI AID” in Sportiva Arena on 6th July. Freelance wrestler Kengo Takai fractured his ankle and several wrestlers from around the scene are coming together to raise money for him. KUDO and Yukio Sakaguchi will also be on the card.

DDT will do another photobook with photographer Leslie Kee. The book will be called Super DDT.

DDT “KING OF DDT OSAKA 2014” Results

DDT “KING OF DDT OSAKA 2014”, 15/06/2014
Osaka Joto Kumin Hall
472 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Kenny Omega & Daisuke Sasaki defeated Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao when Omega pinned Takao after the Freedom Call (7:50).
2. 4 Vs 3 Handicap Match: MIKAMI, Yukio Sakaguchi, Tetsuya Endo & Michael Nakazawa defeated Hideki Shiota, Sanshiro Takagi & Gota Ihashi when Sakaguchi pinned Shiota with the PK (8:38).
3. King Of DDT – Round 2: Shigehiro Irie defeated Antonio Honda with the Beast Bomber (14:56).
4. King Of DDT – Round 2: KUDO defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with the Diving Double Knee Drop (16:11).
5. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & Akito defeated Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & HAYATA when Urano pinned Oishi with the Tombstone Piledriver (13:24).
*Yasu Urano wins Makoto Oishi’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.
6. King Of DDT – Round 2: Kota Ibushi defeated Masa Takanashi with the Sit Down Last Ride (12:53).
7. King Of DDT – Round 2: Isami Kodaka defeated Konosuke Takeshita with the Brainbustaaaaahhhhh!!!!! (20:05).

The King of DDT semi-finals are now set. Shigehiro Irie will face KUDO while Kota Ibushi will face Isami Kodaka. Irie’s Beast Bomber has become a very effective finisher in recent months and here it was used to put away Antonio Honda. KUDO made sure that Tomomitsu Matsunaga would not beat him like he did Kenny Omega. Despite losing, Matsunaga now has a new attitude based on his strong performance in the tournament and will make it to the top one step at a time. Ibushi fought against a spirited performance from Masa Takanashi to win his match. Finally Kodaka took a page from El Generico’s book and defeated Konosuke Takeshita with the Brainbustaaaaahhhhh!!!!!

A lottery was held to determine the semi-finals. Each qualifying wrestler had to pull a ball out of a box and whoever picked the same colour would face each other. Oddly enough the resulting matches would have happened anyway if the tournament was organised with a playoff bracket from start to finish.

Makoto Oishi must now regret pulling out of the King of DDT. He left the tournament after winning one of the two remaining Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contracts. But he waited too long to cash in and wound up losing the contract to Yasu Urano when Urano pinned him in a Six-Man Tag Team match. As a contract holder, Urano now has to worry about whether or not he should cash in on his friend and team mate HARASHIMA. The other contract holder at the moment is Super Sasadango Machine who has done the smart thing and stayed away from the wrestling often, reducing the risk of him losing the contract. When he decides to get his KO-D Title match, only he knows.

The Handicap Match was originally billed as Shiota-gun Vs DDT Sekigun. But Sanshiro Takagi told Hideki Shiota he never had permission to add him to his new unit. So Shiota instead renamed the match the Shiota New Organisation Raising An Army Assessment Match. When asked what the name of his new organisation was, Shiota called it Salt Japan Pro Wrestling.

The first round of this year’s King Of DDT threw up some interesting results and match-ups. Antonio Honda submitted Yasu Urano and will face Shigehiro Irie in Round 2. Irie is focused on winning the tournament so he will get a Sumo Hall rematch with HARASHIMA one year after HARASHIMA won the KO-D Title from him. Tomomitsu Matsunaga earned a major upset victory over Kenny Omega. Despite gaining a lot of confidence from the win, Matsunaga’s next opponent will have the advantage. KUDO wasted no time in beating MIKAMI and will be fresh as a daisy tomorrow. Kota Ibushi and Masa Takanashi both won their matches and now their paths will meet. Ibushi doesn’t know what tactics Takanashi will have up his sleeve for their match. Isami Kodaka beat Yukio Sakaguchi and stayed at ringside to watch the main event where the winner would be his next opponent. That man turned out to be Konosuke Takeshita. The young phenom defeated Daisuke Sasaki in the longest match of the night. Afterwards Takeshita said he thinks he proved he can win the tournament.
