Okayama Saint Inn Kurashiki

1. Mizuki Watase Marunage Match ~ Advent Of God!! Falls Count Anywhere In Kurashiki Hardcore 6-Man Tag Match: Mizuki Watase, MAO & Asuka Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Kazusada Higuchi & Shunma Katsumata

There is this one person in Okayama who always comes to see DDT when they’re in the area and always buys a t-shirt. The DDT staff likes to call him God as a joke because of this. Mizuki Watase is dedicating his Marunage match to this person and was told he can do whatever he wants as long as it does not involve oil or gasoline. So Watase has come up with a Falls Count Anywhere 6-Man Tag Match. He likes Hardcore wrestling just as much as MAO and Asuka does so the three of them will team together. Watase is also thinking of creating his own battle cycle to combat Sanshiro Takagi’s Dramatic Dream bike.

Names advertised for the show include Great Mutiger, Takuya Yamauchi, Scoville and Yunosuke. They are all from a micro indy promotion that Gota Ihashi was once a part of called Oretachi Pro Wrestling. Mutiger wrestled in DDT before back in 2017.

DDT “DRAMATIC OMUTA SKYSCRAPER 2019”, 17/09/2019

Shizuoka Create Hamamatsu Hall

1. Daisuke Kiso Referee Marunage Match ~ Jump Out The Head Of The Future Variety Team Leader: Toru Owashi Vs Kazusada Higuchi Vs Shunma Katsumata Vs MAO Vs Yuki Ueno Vs Naomi Yoshimura

Daisuke Kiso has been thinking about the future of DDT, particularly who from the new generation will end up being the leader of their group. The day will come when the likes of Takagi, Honda, Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine and HARASHIMA won’t be around. So Kiso has chosen five wrestlers he sees are the future of the company to do something with Toru Owashi. However Kiso has not decided on what the match will be yet. He is considering a 5 Vs 1 Handicap Match. It’s either that or a match between Daisuke Sasaki and Miyako Matsumoto held on the side of a cliff.

4. Yuto Aijima & Azul Dragon defeated Tetsuya Endo & Nobuhiro Shimatani when Dragon pinned Shimatani with a Modified Backslide Pin (8:54).
5. Pokotan Marunage Match: Chair (Red) Vs Chair (Blue) ended in a No Contest when Doradori-kun interfered (1:28). (Special Referee: Pokotan)
5a. Emergency Captain’s Fall 8-Man Tag Team Match: Chair (Blue) (C), Doradori-kun, Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda defeated Chair (Red) (C), Pokotan, Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi when Chair (Blue) pinned Chair (Red) (10:37).
6. Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Mad Paulie defeated Masahiro Takanashi, MAO & Yukio Naya when Sasaki submitted Naya with the Crossface Lock (12:10).
7. Hakata Specialty! Seimon Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Naomi Yoshimura defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Akito when HARASHIMA pinned Akito with the Somato (15:59).

Daisuke Sasaki really struggled to put Yukio Naya in the Crossface Lock. It took a Low Blow just to get Naya low enough to put the move on. He tried to lift Sasaki up and out of it but Soma Takao gave him a Thrust Kick to the head. Naya wouldn’t give up so Mad Paulie gave him another kick to the head. Naya was finally pulled down to the canvas by Sasaki and he tapped out.

The Chair Vs Chair match went off to a slow start. The Red Chair and the Blue Chair both stood still, neither wanting their first move to be the wrong move. The referee Pokotan watched on when suddenly DDT’s other mascot Doradori-kun came out and attacked him! Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi ran down to save Higuchi with the help of the Red Chair. Kazuki Hirata & Antonio Honda then ran down to protect Doradori with the Blue Chair. They argued over which mascot was better and Dieno announced out that Pokotan has entered the annual Yuru-chara Grand Prix.

Everyone agreed to a Captain’s Fall tag match to settle their differences. The two chairs were chosen to be the captains. Normally the rules involve eliminations but only one fall was needed to get the result. Oishi and Honda both attacked each other with the chairs. This was not a disqualification because the chairs were the legal participants. After the collision the Blue Chair fell on top of the Red Chair and the referee counted to three. Hirata called the match a legendary battle. The chairs gave it their all but their flames are still burning. Perhaps the others in the ring could learn from this. Everyone made peace with each other and celebrated with the chairs.

Speaking of chairs, Match #2 went to a no contest because Dieno and Hirata brought in chairs and swung them at each other. Yukinori Matsui tried to stop them but called the match off when he was hit with both chairs.

Yuki Ueno was determined to leave Hakata with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. He won the belt from Yukio Sakaguchi at the start of the show when he kicked him below the belt during the opening introductions. Ueno then struck Sakaguchi with the title and pinned him. Toru Owashi won the title from Ueno by winning the 4 Way Match later in the show. Ueno won the belt back afterwards when he also kicked Owashi low and pinned him. He is being criticised for kicking people in the balls but Ueno claims it is not a foul because he is only doing it outside of matches.

6. Hiroshima Specialty! Special 6-Man Tag Team Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie defeated HARASHIMA, Naomi Yoshimura & Kazusada Higuchi when Sasaki submitted Yoshimura with La Mistica Cross Facelock (15:29).

The DAMNATION wrestlers threw out insults at their opponents after the main event. Daisuke Sasaki continued calling himself Kazusada Higuchi’s dad because he slept with Higuchi’s “bitch mom” back when Sasaki was three years old. Meanwhile Tetsuya Endo tried to provoke HARASHIMA by telling him to stop getting angry. Endo then blew off the interaction by telling Sasaki he doesn’t have feelings of any kind for HARASHIMA.

Yukio Sakaguchi regained the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Yuki Ueno. Sakaguchi said that he is not getting closer to the belt. Instead it is the belt coming closer to him. Ueno attempted to ambush Sakaguchi at the end of the show but failed to win back the title.

Danshoku Dieno declared that the hero of Hiroshima has come back to wrestle in his hometown for the first time in a year and two months. He promised not to lose because a defeat for Dieno is also a defeat for Hiroshima. He asked his opponents if they could do a Three Arrows match. It is a 3 Way Match where only two wrestlers are allowed in the ring. The third wrestler has to wait on the apron and either tag in or wait until one of his opponents leaves the ring. Akito and Antonio Honda agreed to the rules then knocked Dieno out of the ring to start the match. The match ended when Akito took Dieno’s Lip Lock, then Honda rolled Dieno into a pin and used the ropes for leverage.

Kazuki Hirata successfully hitchhiked from Tokyo all the way to Hiroshima in time to wrestle on the show. In fact he was the first to arrive at the venue because DDT’s company bus got held up in traffic earlier in the day (the show started late as a result). Hirata ended up losing the match for his team but still received praise from the others for his hitchhiking achievement.

Tomomitsu Matsunaga was the referee for some of the matches.

4. Summer Vacation Special Plan, I’m Excited About Summer Tokyo Joshi Festival 2019 “Chu! Natsu Party Death Match”: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Nodoka Tenma & Mina Shirakawa when Sakazaki pinned Shirakawa with the Magical Magical Girl Splash With Fireworks into the Pool (12:49).
5. Maki Itoh & Hikari Noa defeated Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino when Noa pinned Aino with the Uranage (12:55).
6. Miyu Yamashita defeated Miu Watanabe with the Attitude Adjustment (11:38).

Miyu Yamashita praised Miu Watanabe for getting stronger since the last time they fought each other. Watanabe took the words to heart and said in her mind today was not a defeat. She asked Yamashita to support her when they challenge for the Princess Tag Team Titles on 25th August.

The team of Maki Itoh & Hikari Noa struggled to get along at first. That is because Noa regularly teams with Itoh’s enemy Natsumi Maki. They seemed to gel as the match went on and eventually became the winners. But Itoh still flipped off Noa when she went to shake her hand.

The ring canvas was covered in blue sheets for the Natsu Party Death Match. Any summer related item was permitted to be used as a weapon including flotation rings, squirt guns, water balloons and watermelons. There was also a small kids pool filled with water placed inside the ring Mina Shirakawa introduced herself to the audience as “The Happy H Cup Who Will Give A Power Bomb To Your Heart.” Everyone threw water at each other and got soaked. Mizuki found fireworks and shot them at Nodoka Tenma while Yuka Sakazaki ran around with sparklers. Sakazaki sent Shirakawa into the pool then Double Stomped the watermelon on top of her. Sakazaki then hit the Magical Magical Girl Splash while fireworks shot up behind her to get the win. Shirakawa called the match her version of the G1, the Glamorous 1. Sakazaki said she wanted to use more fireworks but the venue became too damp.

Rika Tatsumi’s battle with Demonio Uno quickly ended in a Double Countout when the two fought their way out of the venue. They agreed to an immediate rematch but continued to brawl outside the ring. Back in the ring the referee got knocked down and Uno brought in a chair. Antonio Honda came to the rescue and gave Uno the Bionic Elbow. He then revived the referee while Tatsumi pinned her opponent with the Missile Hip Attack.

Honda was there to support Tatsumi because earlier in the show he was revealed to be Tatsumi & Sakazaki’s partner for the match against NEO Biishiki-gun on 1st Setpember! Honda told everyone that he previously knows the two girls from the time they were part of a music group together. He was the one who encouraged the two of them to take up pro wrestling!

Raku was the only member of the Up Up Girls not wrestling today so she held a solo concert called the Tsurumi Idol Festival during intermission.

3. Hardcore 6-Man Tag Match: Soma Takao, Mad Paulie & Gabai Ji-chan defeated Hoshitango, Keisuke Ishii & Shota when Takao pinned Shota with a Diving Foot Stomp onto a chair (11:48).
4. 3 Way Match – Special 2 Count Rules For Shimatani: Nobuhiro Shimatani defeated Tetsuya Endo and Shuji Ishikawa when Shimatani pinned Endo with a Crucifix Pin (15:02).

The main event saw a hugh upset when Nobuhiro Shimatani defeated Tetsuya Endo and Shuji Ishikawa in a 3 Way Match! Well he was allowed a small advantage of only needing a two count to pin either of his opponents. Ishikawa threw the litte guy around easily. At one point outside the ring he dragged Nobu across a venue counter with the Giant Swing. Ishikawa and Endo wound up focusing just on each other back in the ring. Shimatani chose his spots and was able to give Ishikawa a Brainbuster. He got drilled with a Fire Thunder and looked to be out of it. However Shimatani reappeared after Endo hit the Shooting Star Press on Ishikawa. Shimatani scrambled with Endo and caught him in a Crucifix Pin to get the 2 count victory!

Shimatani got on the microphone and excitedly made some demands for winning. He wanted Endo to be his manager, Mad Paulie to be his pet and Soma Takao to carry around the DAMNATION signboard from now on. Daisuke Sasaki got into the ring and scolded Shimatani for acting rebellious. Ishikawa asked if he could sing because he, Paulie and Endo practiced all day. Sasaki cut them off but let them continue when the fans called for an encore. When the song ended Sasaki announced that Shimatani has been promoted from DAMNATION’s temporary manager to a full time manager! However he is still just a temporary member of the unit. Shimatani was overjoyed by the news and celebrated with the rest of DAMNATION over drinks.

The Hardcore 6-Man Tag started off a little casually. Mad Paulie took out a fork not to use as a weapon but to eat other people’s food while he walked through the crowd. Gabai Ji-chan took so long to walk to the ring in his old age that Shota decided to charge at him instead. Keisuke Ishii waited in the ring for Ji-chan to come in while everyone else brawled with each other around ringside. Ji-chan in particular took a lot of punishment in the match. At one point Hoshitango, Ishii & Shota all ganged up on him. Ji-chan fought them off with the help of Paulie. They then piled a bunch of chairs on top of Shota for Soma Takao to Double Stomp onto for the finish. Takao, Paulie & Ji-chan then sat on the chairs and drank some beer to celebrate a job well done.

Here were the rules for Antonio Honda Vs Hiroshi Yamato. Whenever a one of them pinned the other for two seconds, the match would pause and the wrestler would have to read lines from an erotic novel. If the opponent gets an erection he would lose a point. First wrestler to get an erection three times would be declared the loser. The match went down to the wire with two erections each. Honda pinned Yamato with La Magistral Cradle and began reading the erotica certain of victory. Instead Honda’s story gave himself an erection and Yamato became the winner.

By request of the wrestlers, the Last Man Standing match was turned into a boxing match with a bunch of extra rules applied. Every round lasted 15 seconds. After every round a toy crocodile game was brought into the ring and they had to stick their finger in the crocodile’s mouth. If it bites then both they would have to take a shot of whiskey. If it doesn’t then they drank a glass of beer instead. Sasaki and Takanashi got more drunk as the match progressed and the match quality dropped along with it. Yukinori Matsui was convinced to join in drinking during the later rounds. The match was declared a draw after 15 rounds. Sasaki demanded extra 15 rounds and Takanashi agreed to it. In the 6th round Takanashi hugged Sasaki before hitting the Takatonic. Sasaki couldn’t answer the 10 count so a knockout was declared. Takanashi won the match but Sasaki got a few more drinks in him with Matsui and Keigo Nakamura.

Endo, Ishikawa and Shimatani challenged each other to beer selling race at the start of the show. Endo won, Ishikawa finished second and Shimatani last. This was when Shimatani announced he would get the 2 count rule in the main event even though he didn’t tell this to anyone beforehand. Ishikawa accepted only because he wanted something to make the match more challenging.

4. Fear! Big Ikemen Brahman Attack! ~Cold Iron Pillar~: Brahman Shu, Brahman Kei & Jiro Kuroshio defeated MAO, Mike Bailey & Asuka when Kei pinned MAO after the Five Body Dissatisfaction (15:04).

The Moonlight Express were joined by Asuka for their turn in charge of Beer Garden week. Facing them was the alliance of good and evil that is Jiro Kuroshio and The Brahman Brothers. Kuroshio was convinced to go along with the Brahmans’ antics including throwing the bowling ball into the suitcase that was pinning Asuka and the Express in the corner. There was brawling all over the venue but Mike Bailey was brought into the ring to get a stake hammered up his backside with a traffic sign. Asuka turned the tables and landed a Moonsault onto Brahman Shu. But Kuroshio blinded MAO with powder and the Brahmans used their double team moves on him. MAO did his best to stay in the match but he was blinded again this time when Kuroshio spat ink in his eyes. This time Kuroshio and the Brahmans all cradled MAO together in a triple pin to get the three count.

The Brahmans celebrated their victory. Brahman Kei told the Express that their loss means they shouldn’t book a Beer Garden show again next year. Instead Gorgeous Matsuno should get the gig and sing for three hours! Bailey consoled MAO who was scared at the thought of hearing Matsuno sing for three hours straight. Makoto Oishi and Shunma Katsumata then came out. They told MAO there was one thing they could do to end the show on a happy note. The NωA can reunite and sing for everyone one more time! MAO learned that his friends old and new will always be there for him. NωA sang “Going my ωay!!!!!~You Are Not Alone” to close out the show.

The elderly Gabai Ji-chan needed assistance from Yukio Sakaguchi to enter the ring for their tag match. Despite his limited movements, Ji-chan was able to do the Old School rope walk with his cane. Also whenever Yuki Ueno & Hiroshi Yamato did something to harm him, an angry Sakaguchi stepped in to dish out some punishment. Sakaguchi got rid of Ueno with a Penalty Kick then choked out Yamato with the Sleeper Hold. Ji-chan then won the match with the Gabaiton Bomb.

After the match Sakaguchi gave Ji-chan a can of beer. He told him to take care of his body to live longer. One way to do that is drink more alcohol. They had a toast until Ji-chan hit Sakaguchi from behind with his cane! Ji-chan rolled up Sakaguchi for the pin and became the new Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion! Sakaguchi got back up and put Ji-chan in the Sleeper Hold to win back the title. Ji-chan had to be resuscitated by Yukinori Matsui afterwards.

Mizuki Watase was put through a Rumble style Handicap match with each opponent representing different behaviors. Naomi Yoshimura was “Joy” and he shared beers with Watase before running him over with a Shoulder Block. Mike Bailey was “Anger” and didn’t hold back on attacking Watase. Kazusada Higuchi was “Sorrow” and grieved over Watase’s beating. Last was Yoshihiko as “Comfort”. It just thrown into the ring and did nothing. The numbers game overwhelmed Watase but he was able to fight back. His comeback ended when he tried to give Yoshihiko the Tiger Suplex but it was countered into the Reincarnation. After the match Watase told everyone he wants to stay here and do more pro wrestling. The others congratulated him while “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis” played over the speakers.

The NωA reunion actually happened in the first match as all three members got together for a 6-Man Tag Match. They sang “Never Give Up☆I LOVE YOU” for their entrance. What they did not expect was Danshoku Dieno, Toru Owashi & Antonio Honda making their own idol group called HωA. They also sang “Never Give Up☆I LOVE YOU”. There was also Queen music used during the match. Dieno shenanigans took place, Daisuke Kiso took a ref bump into his rear end and Matsui called off the match while “We Are the Champions” played. NωA then sang “ωe are the HERO!!”.

In the opening announcements Bailey tried to use Google Translate to tell everyone that today is the 3rd anniversary of his first wrestling match in Japan.

3. Hana No Sandman Match: Ken Ohka defeated Danshoku Dieno, DJ Nira, Masahiro Takanashi, Muscle Sakai, Antonio Honda, Mike Bailey and Makoto Oishi when Ohka pinned Dieno with the Fire Spear (13:52).

Today’s Beer Garden show was put together by Danshoku Dieno and Super Sasadango Machine. It was headlined by the annual tribute to The Sandman. Several wrestlers came out carrying beer and Singapore canes then met in the ring to share a toast. The bell rang and “Enter Sandman” played while everybody brawled all over the venue. Wrestlers who weren’t part of the match got caught in the mayhem and did what they could to survive while the ring filled up with empty beer cans. Dieno & Sasadango took on all comers but were eventually overwhelmed. DJ Nira hit them with the Rocket Punch, Masahiro Takanashi struck them with a Thrust Kick and Ken Ohka pinned Dieno with the Fire Spear.

With the match over and the music finished, Ohka said he thought he could never survive because he did not have the status or power to go through with it. But today he is in the ring with his most important friends! Even when you are old you can enjoy the time spent with friends. Dieno gathered everyone together and called them his important friends. Sasadango then promoted next year’s show because he believes now is the earliest they can begin to sell tickets for it.

Kazusada Higuchi Vs DJ Nira was an unadvertised match. Higuchi tried to end it quickly but Nira tricked him into having a sumo contest with Daisuke Kiso. Higuchi won easily. Nira then attacked Higuchi from behind. He fled to the corner where Higuchi went for a Splash attack. Kiso took the blow instead of Nira. Kiso was then lifted by Nira into an Argentine Backbreaker position to prevent him from falling and Higuchi was disqualified. The lights went out and everyone heard the words “How strong are you, this is my dream.”

Sasadango’s PowerPoint presentation was a dark project called “Recommended Ghost Spots In Kanagawa”. Sasadango put together a photo diary of supernatural spots that were recommended by paranormal researcher Toshitaro Yamaguchi. Sasadango wanted to visit these spots during the day but it got dark by the time he met up with Konosuke Takeshita and Hisaya Imabayashi to embark on the trip. Some of the spots were blocked off, others turned out to just be empty spaces. While this was going on Takeshita’s right elbow was hurting but he carried on. Sasadango’s conclusion of this story is Takeshita’s an inspiration.

The Lariat Pro Wrestling match begun with the stipulation’s national anthem, “Power Hall”. Everybody played Riki Choshu until the music switched to “Sunrise”. Antonio Honda started acting like Stan Hansen until Yukio Naya put him in a Wristlock, stopping the music. Keisuke Ishii told Naya he was supposed to do Lariats but Naya didn’t understand. Ishii explained how great Lariat Pro matches are but Naya said he didn’t want to do that kind of match. Ishii told Naya to leave and have a drink while the rest continued the match. “J” and the wrestlers acted like Jumbo Tsuruta. Things went a different direction when Makoto Oishi hurt his knee. The music changed to “HOLD OUT” and the Keiji Muto impersonations began. Then it turned into Bruiser Brody spots for “Immigrant Song”. Then Giant Baba for “Soul Of A Champion”. Ishii brought out the Shinya Hashimoto Middle Kicks when “Bakusho Sengen” played. Then came the Mitsuharu Misawa spots for “Spartan X”. Things went out of control when “One Of These Days” played and Honda transformed into Abdullah The Butcher! He took out the referee but a hero was on his way when suddenly “Ikari No Jushin” played. Out came Naya with a beer wearing a Jushin Liger mask! Yuna Manase took the mask off of Naya, wore it herself and hit everyone with Shotei palm strikes. The Lariats returned for “GRAND SWORD” but things went haywire against when Ishii attempted to give Daisuke Kiso a Kenta Kobashi style Burning Hammer! Kiso disqualified Ishii before he could hit the move. Ishii complained that he didn’t break any rules but Tomomitsu Matsunaga and the venue staff disagreed. The staff entered the ring and hit Ishii with Lariats. They then told everyone that the Beer Garden week is happening during Shinjuku FACE’s 14th anniversary. They raised a toast and everyone cheered “FACE”.

Yuki Ueno wanted to begin the show with an exhibition for the trainee Keigo Nakamura. He has been a trainee for over a year and four months but has yet to be in the ring with a certain DDT wrestler. That wrestler is Danshoku Dieno! The exhibition began and Nakamura tried to fight off Dieno. But he couldn’t. He gave up while Dieno was all over him then began to cry. Ueno comforted Nakamura and explained he wanted to see how he would react to Dieno. He asked if Nakamura wants to get stronger? Nakamura does. Ueno said he saw something good in Nakamura today and he encouraged the fans to cheer for him.

Before the show even began the audience were treated to the rematch one year in the making! Last year the two authority figures Hisaya Imabayashi and Tetsuya Koda faced off in the ring. Koda won that battle and left Imabayashi humiliated to the point where he lost the respect of his children. Today his children was here to see their father get revenge! Unfortunately Imabayashi couldn’t hit the Rainmaker, Koda hit him with the Kamigoye and made him submit to a Sleeper Hold. Koda spoke to Imabayashi’s kids and told them what they saw was reality. He wasn’t insulting them however. What he meant was the kids got to see just how strong their father really is! The kids embraced Imabayashi. He may have lost but he did his best to the very end and that won him back his family’s respect.
