*V1 for HARASHIMA.
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto (c) defeated Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega when Kodaka pinned Omega with the Rasengan (20:57).
*V3 for Yankii Ni Cho Kenju.

Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto made it clear they are the very best tag team in DDT right now after defeating the Golden Lovers to retain the KO-D Tag Team Titles. Their next defence will be in Hakata on 15th December. The champions pointed out that two wrestlers from Union and 666 now currently dominate both the DDT and Big Japan tag team divisions and they should not be treated like fools because they come from “smelly indies”. Kodaka even asked for the title match to take place in the streets or the local shopping mall. Backstage, Kenny Omega said being defeated was the worst and both he and Kota Ibushi wrestled with injuries. He wants a Falls Count Anywhere rematch in DDT next year and even Ibushi said he wants revenge.

HARASHIMA defended the DDT Extreme Title in a Blindfold Hidden Breasts Match against Antonio Honda. The rule were both men had to wear blindfolds and bras. The first man to find and strip his opponent’s bra would win. Yukinori Matsui got caught in the crossfire a few times and narrowly avoided the Somato from the champion. HARASHIMA was able to knock down Honda with a High Kick and then flattened him with the Somato, pulling off Honda’s bra afterwards to win. HARASHIMA complimented Honda for coming up with a great match idea which taught him some valuable experience.

DJ Nira suddenly appeared with Daisuke Kiso by his side. He told HARASHIMA it would be either him or Kiso who will be the next challenger. He then gave Kiso the Rocket Punch and said he was the next challenger. The match is booked for the 23rd November show in Yokohama However, Guanchulo earlier won a Battle Royal that granted him a shot at HARASHIMA’s Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. It was agreed that he will face HARASHIMA in Sendai on the 24th. Kazuki Hirata snuck into the ring and attacked HARASHIMA. He rolled over HARASHIMA for a pin but only got a two count. He then fled the ring. If that wasn’t enough, Amon Tsurumi announced that HARASHIMA will defend his KO-D Openweight Title against Yukio Sakaguchi at the 23rd December Korakuen Hall show. HARASHIMA offered a handshake to Sakaguchi but he gave him a fist bump instead.

Speaking of Sakaguchi, he knocked out Shigehiro Irie with a Knee Strike to the face during their tag team match. Irie actually kicked out of the pin but was too groggy to stand up so the referee called for the match to end. A stretcher was brought out but Irie was helped out to the locker room by Keisuke Ishii and Soma Takao instead. Irie had no idea what happened and didn’t know the match was over.

Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi have found the perfect partner to go after the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. That wrestler is Aja Kong! The trio earned a title shot by beating two thirds of the champs and Kazuki Hirata. Dino said they are all ready to bukkake on the grand champion Akebono.

Saki Akai will return for her third wrestling match at the 23/12 Korakuen show.

Masa Takanashi will be holding a special 10th Anniversary show in Edogawa on 17th December. Shuji Ishikawa, Kazuhiro Tamura, Emi Sakura and the UMA Corps will all appear on the show.

6. Yasu Urano defeated Masa Takanashi with a Backwards Leg Roll (11:59).
7. HARASHIMA & KUDO defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Akito when HARASHIMA pinned Akito with the Somato (13:17).

Antonio Honda and Michael Nakazawa went kinky for their Irregular Rules match. Both of them had to wear a bra and whoever stripped the opponent of his bra would win. Nakazawa panicked during the match when he realised he didn’t know how to unhook a bra. He later unintentionally knocked out Yukinori Matsui when Honda used him as a human shield to block the Ultimate Venom Arm. He hit Honda with another Venom Arm and took off the bra but the ref was still down. Honda got up, hit Nakazawa with the Bionic Elbow, put his bra back on, woke up Matsui, landed a Diving Fist Drop and took off Nakazawa’s bra to win. He then called out HARASHIMA and said he will see him at the DDT Extreme Title match next week.

*V3 for HARASHIMA’s KO-D Title. V1 for HARASHIMA’s Iron Man Title. Antonio Honda fails in V2. HARASHIMA becomes the 24th DDT Extreme Champion!

HARASHIMA continues to dominate in DDT and now finds himself as a Triple Crown Champion! He defeated Antonio Honda in a triple title match. HARASHIMA defended his KO-D Openweight and Iron Man Heavymetalweight Titles while Honda put his DDT Extreme Title on the line. It was a chance for Honda to bring out his best for the championship just like he did against GENTARO and Dick Togo over two years ago. But HARASHIMA proved too strong and was the last man standing. After the match HARASHIMA told Honda he is amazing and thanked him for a fun match. Amon Tsurumi approached the champion and asked him who he wanted to face in Korakuen Hall on 17th November for a KO-D Title match. However, HARASHIMA instead wanted to defend the DDT Extreme Title and he wanted to defend it against Honda! The two shook hands to confirm the rematch.

Akebono may be the new AJPW Triple Crown Champion, but he had more pressing matters to deal with today in DDT. That’s right, he had to defend the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles! He, Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi were able to beat Team Dream Futures to mark their second defence of the titles. Takagi said Team Drift were strong but were also stunk as opponents. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi showed up afterwards to challenge the champions and Akebono was not happy to see Dino. Since Akebono will be busy in All Japan, Takagi arranged a Six-Man Tag Team match between himself, Owashi & Kazuki Hirata against Dino, Oishi & their currently unknown partner to determine if they will be No. 1 Contenders. Dino told Akebono he is looking forward to facing him. Akebono then told Takagi to “Please win!”

The Golden Lovers have become the No. 1 Contenders for the KO-D Tag Team Titles after winning the 3-Way Tag match. They will face Yuko Miyamoto and the new BJW Death Match Champion, Isami Kodaka at the 17/11 Korakuen show.

Saki Akai told Mio Shirai after their tag match that she does not play around. She told the crowd that she was really happy to wrestle here because she was born in Osaka and her father competed and even retired in this building. She promised to be stronger when she returns. She also thanked Yukio Sakaguchi for encouraging her and wants to team with him again.

DDT “YOKOHAMA TWILIGHT 2013 ~AUTUMN~”, 23/09/2013
Yokohama Radiant Hall
465 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Akito defeated Kazuki Hirata with a Modified Body Lift (7:54).
2. Toru Owashi & MIKAMI defeated DJ Nira & Michael Nakazawa with a Double Pin (0:05).
2a. Toru Owashi & MIKAMI defeated DJ Nira & Michael Nakazawa when Owashi pinned Nakazawa with a Genki Ball Choke Slam (10:04).

7a. Over The Top Rope Match: Kenny Omega defeated Danshoku Dino & Antonio Honda (5:00).
7b. Silent Match: Antonio Honda defeated Danshoku Dino & Kenny Omega (4:45).
7c. Kiss My Cock Match: Danshoku Dino defeated Kenny Omega & Antonio Honda (4:45).
7d. Sudden Death Kiss My Ass Match: Antonio Honda defeated Danshoku Dino & Kenny Omega when Honda pinned Dino with a Roll Up (3:11).
*Danshoku Dino fails in V2. Antonio Honda becomes the 23rd DDT Extreme Champion!

The 3 Way feud between Danshoku Dino, Kenny Omega and Antonio Honda came to its conclusion today with the DDT Extreme Title on the line. Dino made the rules for the contest and decided it would be held over three rounds so it would be clear that whoever wins overall deserves the championship. Round 1 was an Over The Top Rope match which was won by Omega. Round 2 was a Silent Match, whoever made a sound while wrestling was disqualified. Kenny messed up and was eliminated when he yelled “Stop!” at Honda before hitting him with an Enzuigiri. Honda then made Dino yell in pain when he crotched him on the top rope to win the round. Round 3 was a Kiss My Cock match where pins only counted when a wrestler had his crotch pressed against his opponent’s mouth. Naturally Dino won that round by pinning both Honda and Omega. After three rounds it was a three way tie. Dino immediately called for sudden death under Kiss My Ass rules. Dino’s choice of match backfired when Honda pinned him with a roll up, pressing his ass against Dino’s face. Honda’s victory speech included a weird metaphor about DDT growing larger means there is a decrease in nose fucking as a result.

New World Japan reunited for one night to take on the Monster Army. Sanshiro Takagi was in a furious mood because he had a train ticket for Yoshiaki Yago to send him home after the show but it went missing. He accused the Monster Army of stealing them but they denied it. The nWj trapped Daisuke Sasaki in the corner during the match and interrogated him while throwing chops to the body. Yukio Sakaguchi eventually made Sasaki submit and Takagi again demanded his ticket. Amon Tsurumi came out and said he had Takagi’s ticket. Takagi apologised and laughed it off acting like he had not just beaten up Sasaki. Yago was the last man in the ring and apologised to the fans for being away for so long. He explained he was busy selling used cars in Russia.

DDT “GO! GO! WEST TOUR IN HAKATA 2013” Results

September 8, 2013

DDT “GO! GO! WEST TOUR IN HAKATA 2013”, 08/09/2013
Hakata Sazanpia
369 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Michael Nakazawa 3 Match Trial – Match 2: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Michael Nakazawa with the Tokyo Olympics Rotation (7:31).
2. Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma defeated Masa Takanashi & Azul Dragon when Soma pinned Takanashi with the Gin & Tonic (8:54).
3. Yuto Aijima defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (7:37).
4. Special Zondag 3 Way Match: Kenny Omega and Konosuke Takeshita both defeated Batten Tamagawa with the Idaho! Minnesota! Mississipi! Elbow (7:51).
5. Keisuke Ishii defeated Makoto Oishi with the Tiger Suplex (9:50).
6. DDT Extreme Title – Batten Tamagawa Ironman Match: Danshoku Dino (c) (1) defeated Antonio Honda (0) (15:00).
6a. Danshoku Dino defeated Batten Tamagawa with the Danshoku Nightmare (3:27) (1-0).
6b. Antonio Honda defeated Batten Tamagawa by Pinfall (5:59) (1-1).
6c. Antonio Honda defeated Batten Tamagawa with La Magistral (8:39) (1-2).
6d. Batten Tamagawa defeated Antonio Honda by Pinfall after Kenny Omega struck Honda with the Extreme Title (14:29) (1-0).
*V1 for Danshoku Dino.
7. HARASHIMA, Yasu Urano & KUDO defeated MIKAMI, Hikaru Sato & Yukio Sakaguchi when Urano pinned MIKAMI with the Tombstone Piledriver (17:19).

Yasu Urano told HARASHIMA that he is proud to team with a great champion and he hopes HARASHIMA will feel the same way when he wins the KO-D Openweight Title from him. HARASHIMA says he will win because he trains.

The DDT Extreme Title was defended in a 15 minute Ironman match with a difference. Danshoku Dino and Antonio Honda were both joined in the ring by Batten Tamagawa. Pinning or submitting Tamagawa would earn you a point but you would lose two points if Tamagawa defeated you. When the match was announced halfway through the show, Kenny Omega demanded to be included. His claim was denied because the contract was already signed. Kenny intruded on the match in the final minute to give Dino the Danshoku Driver. He then struck Honda with the Extreme Title belt. Kenny’s actions cost Honda the title as Tamagawa pinned him with seconds remaining, reducing his score back to zero. After the match Honda angrily demanded a 3 Way match between himself, Dino and Kenny to determine once and for all who deserves the Extreme Title. The match will take place in Yokohama on 23rd September.

Keisuke Ishii noted that it has been one year since the formation of Team Dream Futures. Since then Shigehiro Irie became the KO-D Champion while Ishii himself believes he has grown as a wrestler. He talked about when he was a young trainee in another organisation but he ran away from them. Now he wants to prove he is strong enough to fight them. The name of that organisation, you ask? All Japan Pro Wrestling! He will appeal to All Japan for a match and has the support of his Drift team mates. Tsurumi Amon pretended he didn’t hear Ishii but then offered to help and do what he can to set up an inter-promotional match in the future.

Kenny Omega and Konosuke Takeshita both defeated Batten Tamagawa in a 3 Way match. Kenny then beat Takeshita in a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors to unofficially determine the winner.

In the second match of his latest series, Michael Nakazawa wanted to wrestle as a fresh faced rookie. Like last time he became impatient and went for the Ultimate Venom Arm only for Sanshiro Takagi to avoid it and beat him with a move named after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. After the match Nakazawa demanded that the third and final match of his trial should be a 60 minute Falls Count Anywhere Ironman match.

While we wait for the Sumo Hall double shot, here is the debut music video for DPG, the musical group featuring Hiroshi Fukuda and Antonio Honda. The song is called “Demon of the Ring”.

Warning: Video Contains Super Happy Wacky Japanese Stuff. Possibly even more so than your typical J-Pop video.

No Glass Slipper Necessary, More Hulk Hogan Gymnastics

April 29, 2013

Stardom “CHAMPION FIESTA 2013 RYOGOKU CINDERELLA”, 29/04/2013
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan
5,500 Fans

Mayu Iwatani, Lin Bairon, Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi defeated Eri Susa, Makoto, Michael Nakazawa & Hikaru Sato when Iwatani pinned Nakazawa with a Dragon Suplex (12:26).

Today was the big day for the Stardom joshi promotion. They ran an important show in Sumo Hall dedicated to the retirement of Yuzuki Aikawa. Miss Bouncy Bouncy received a lot of support from DDT during her pro wrestling career so it was fitting to see some of the wrestlers having a match on the undercard. The 8-Person Tag Team match had a crossover of talent from Stardom, DDT and Wrestling New Classic as Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi teamed with Stardom’s Mayu Iwatani and the new WNC Women’s Champion Lin Bairon to face Michael Nakazawa, Hikaru Sato, Eri Susa and the former WNC Women’s Champion Makoto. Nakazawa and Sato were in hentai mode with Nakazawa dressed as a nurse while Sato wore a women’s bathing suit. Ibushi and Makoto got to reignite their small rivalry when they paired off in the ring. Nakazawa was his usual creepy sense and attempted to apply the Ultimate Venom Arm on Iwatani. Makoto did not want her team to win that way and tried to stop him but got caught in the crossfire. Iwatani capitalised on the backfire and pinned Nakazawa with a Dragon Suplex in an impressive feat. Now, if someone from DDT is reading this could they please go console Sanshiro Takagi?

Meanwhile a few other DDT wrestlers appeared at the the Makuhari Messe in Tokyo to attend the Nico Douga Conference. Antonio Honda put on his red and yellow tights and brought Hulkamania to life again with a Hulk Hogan Gymnastics performance. He was cheered on by Danshoku Dino, Tsurumi Amon, Daisuke Sasaki, Hiroshi Fukuda and Chikage Kiba. The video of the original performance is one of the more popular sport videos on the website. The video can be seen here: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/1333972847

– Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Gota Ihashi (c) with a Tambourine Attack (9:29 pm).
*Hiroshi Fukuda becomes the 944th champion.

Both Antonio Honda and Daisuke Sasaki wanted the main event to be so good that Dick Togo would hear about it all the way over in Bolivia. Yasu Urano said the match would have been better if Honda was drunk. Honda said he wasn’t drinking, he was fit as a fiddle the entire time.

Kento Miyahara hogtied Hiroshi Fukuda with the tiger rope in the lead up to the finish of their Texas Tiger Rope Match.

The Watermelon Crash Death Match featured a watermelon and a barbed wire baseball bat left in the middle of the ring. The first person to smash the watermelon would be declared the winner. Seiya Morohashi won when he grabbed the watermelon and smashed it over GENTARO’s head. That wasn’t Morohashi’s only appearance for the night. At the end of Match #2, he appeared in the ring to perform a “Strange Uncle” dance while only wearing a thong. Hoshitango danced along with him but thankfully he did not strip.

“MONTHLY YOUNG COMMUNICATIONS” Card, HARASHIMA Vs Honda

March 18, 2011

DDT “MONTHLY YOUNG COMMUNICATIONS MARCH EDITION”, 18/03/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Rion Mizuki Vs Ryuichi Sekine
2. Shota Vs Satoshi Hiroshi Kazato
3. Shigehiro Irie Vs Jun Nishikawa
4. Kazuki Hirata Vs Hiromu Takahashi
5. Keisuke Ishii & Hiro Tsumaki Vs Hiro Tonai & Akito

Kazuki Hirata Vs Hiromu Takahashi is a rematch from the 24/02 NEVER.5 show. Takahashi won that match with a Fisherman Suplex. This time Hirata has the home promotion advantage in DDT.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2011 ~DDT 14TH ANNIVERSARY~”, 27/03/2011
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Danshoku Dino Vs Bob Sapp’s Assassin
2. HARASHIMA Vs Antonio Honda
3. KO-D Openweight Title Challenge Right Fight +α Anytime and Anywhere Battle Royal: KUDO, Makoto Oishi Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Keisuke Ishii Vs Shigehiro Irie Vs Takao Soma Vs Super Shit Machine Vs Tomimitsu Matsunaga Vs Kenny Omega Vs Michael Nakazawa Vs GENTARO Vs Yasu Urano Vs Shuji Ishikawa Vs Seiya Morohashi Vs Ken Ohka
4. KO-D Openweight Title: Dick Togo (c) Vs Kota Ibushi

HARASHIMA Vs Antonio Honda has been added to the 14th Anniversary show. A year ago, the result would be obvious but now I am not so sure. Honda has recently held both the Interim KO-D Championship and the KO-D Tag Team Championship with Daisuke Sasaki. He has shown that he is capable of putting up a fight against anyone from Dick Togo to Hiroyoshi Tenzan. The match may prove to be more challenging for HARASHIMA than I would think. This is a chance for Honda to prove that he is at HARASHIMA’s level and start the road to becoming a fully fledged KO-D Openweight Champion.

The event will also feature the return of at least two names from DDT’s past, Rojo Del Sol and Tsunehito Naito. Rojo Del Sol showed up in DDT during the year 2000 and is a two time Ironman Heavymetalweight Champion. Former UWF fighter Tsunehito Naito wrestled for DDT in 1999 and went through the Malenko Dojo over in Florida.

Ibushi In NJPW, TKG48 & Honda In FREEDOMS

February 15, 2011

Kota Ibushi isn’t done with New Japan Pro Wrestling yet. He competed on today’s NJPW event at Korakuen Hall, teaming with KUSHIDA to defeat Jado & Gedo.

NJPW “THE NEW BEGINNING”, 2/15/11
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,500 Fans

Kota Ibushi & KUSHIDA defeated Jado & Gedo when KUSHIDA pinned Gedo with the Midnight Express (12:24).

There will be some DDT talent appearing at New Japan’s upcoming NEVER event on 24th February. Shigehiro Irie and Kazuki Hirata will be there along with KO-D Tag Team Champion and freelancer, Daisuke Sasaki. Also there will be Union regular and SS Susan member Madoka.

NJPW “NEVER.5”, 2/24/11
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Hiromu Takahashi Vs Kazuki Hirata
3. Tomoaki Honma Vs Shigehiro Irie
4. Ryusuke Taguchi Vs Daisuke Sasaki
6. Taichi Vs Madoka

It’s only just today that I noticed that FREEDOMS often uses DDT talent for their shows. I shouldn’t be surprised by it as the promotion is run by Takashi Sasaki, who was a DDT wrestler from the company’s very first show until he got the deathmatch bug and joined Big Japan Wrestling somewhere between 2004 and 2005. I often forget when the company holds their shows so I’ll try to keep an eye on them from now on.

Sanshiro Takagi’s stable, the TKG48 entered the promotion in December and started a conflict with the Kojika Army. Last month a match between The Great Kojika & GENTARO against TKG48’s Tsuyoshi Kikuchi & Shigehiro Irie had to be constantly restarted because the matches kept on ending in Double DQs. This led to TKG48’s main guns of Takagi & Munenori Sawa coming in to fight Kojika & GENTARO on yesterday’s FREEDOMS show. The stakes were high as a stipulation was added where the wrestler who dropped the fall on the losing team would be banned from ever wrestling in FREEDOMS again. Takagi got the win with a Sanshiro Stunner on the Great Kojika, forcing the veteran out of the company.

Antonio Honda is also a regular participant in FREEDOMS shows and was part of the winning team on yesterday’s show, siding with the devious Brahman Brothers to defeat Ricky Fuji, Keita Yano and a third wrestler who has a name that no one among the puro fansites have been able to figure out yet. I forgot to mention this during the annual contract signings but Antonio Honda let his DDT contract run out a couple of years ago to become a freelancer. As you can see, this didn’t affect his relationship with DDT one bit as he is still a regular name for the company.

Freedoms, 14/02/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
187 Fans – No Vacancy

2. Antonio Honda, Brahman Shu & Brahman Kei defeated Ricky Fuji, Keita Yano & ??? when Honda pinned ??? with a School Boy (12:29).
3. Kojika Army Vs TKG48: Sanshiro Takagi & Munenori Sawa defeated Great Kojika & GENTARO when Takagi pinned Kojika with a Sanshiro Stunner (15:36).
