BOYZ “BOYZ DOLL FESTIVAL SPECIAL ~ONNA MATSURI 3~”, 04/03/2014
Shinjuku FACE
531 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Soma Takao Vs Kazuki Hirata ended in a Time Limit Draw (15:00).
2. KUDO defeated Mitomi Masayuki with a Spin Kick (7:44).
3. Daisuke Sasaki & Masa Takanashi defeated Keisuke Ishii & Akito when Takanashi pinned Akito with the Takatonic (12:12).
4. Union Non-Certified US Heavyweight Title: HARASHIMA defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with the Somato (8:43).
*V5? for Hiroshi Fukuda due to Shinjuku Kabukicho State Rules.
5. Isami Kodaka, Kota Ibushi & Tetsuya Endo defeated Makoto Oishi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Konosuke Takeshita when Kodaka submitted Oishi with the 419 (14:04).

Hiroshi Fukuda wanted to test himself against the KO-D Champion, HARASHIMA. So he dusted off the Union Non-Certified US Heavyweight Title for this occasion and challenged HARASHIMA to take it from him. HARASHIMA accepted but before the match began Fukuda said the match would be fought under Shinjuku Kabukicho State Rules. He handed Daisuke Kiso the 18 page official rule book and told him to follow every rule in it. The rules just so happened to protect the champion. For example HARASHIMA wasn’t allowed to run towards Fukuda whenever Fukuda was not standing. This prevented HARASHIMA from doing his Somato finisher. Fukuda knocked down Kiso and grabbed a tambourine to strike HARASHIMA with. But the challenger knocked him down and hit the Somato while Kiso was recovering. When Kiso got his wits back he saw HARASHIMA pinning Fukuda and counted to three. HARASHIMA wins the US Title!

Or so it seemed. At the end of the show, BOYZ principal Johnny Edojima approached HARASHIMA and told him he never gave permission for the US Title to be defended. The title change does not count and HARASHIMA had to give back the US Title (medal) to Fukuda. Due to Shinjuku Kabukicho State Rules this counts as a successful defence for Fukuda. Because why not?

7. HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano Vs KUDO & Masa Takanashi

The Homo-sapiens are no more but Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi have already found a replacement for Aja Kong. Enter Yukio Sakaguchi, fresh off of a defeat to KUDO. A title win here will be just what the doctor ordered to get him back on track.

Amon Tsurumi has been disappointed in the performances of Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga lately so they now have to face Zeus & The Bodyguard. How that is supposed to motivate them, I don’t know.

BOYZ “BOYZ DOLL FESTIVAL SPECIAL ~ONNA MATSURI 3~”, 04/03/2014

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2014”, 21/03/2014
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Monster Army Disbanded Match: Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki, Hoshitango, Yuji Hino, X
2. Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal: X Vs X
3. KO-D Openweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs KUDO

My favourite match in DDT returns for its annual appearance. The Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract Battle Royal combines the Royal Rumble and the Money In The Bank to create something bonkers in the usual DDT manner. Last year their was four identical prizes, all KO-D Openweight Title matches but with the extra stipulation the the contracts could change hands like championships. Prizes from previous years have included contracts for promoting shows, winning romantic dates and even temporarily morphing into other wrestlers.

DDT “YAROZ PART 1”, 09/02/2014
Shin-kiba 1st RING
183 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Solidly Single Match: Ryuichi Sekine defeated Daichi Kazato with the Combine (8:16).

6. Value Of Man Is Not A Plane! BOYZ Vs YaroZ: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Shigehiro Irie defeated HARASHIMA, Makoto Oishi & Tetsuya Endo when Irie pinned Oishi with the Flying Sausage (17:29).

Turns out I was using a non-vulgar translation of the show name and this show was indeed vulgar. AssholeZ it is, then.

Tomomitsu Matsunaga and Amon Tsurumi were originally supposed to host the show but they were mysteriously absent. Taking their place were guest MCs Brother Tommy and Brother Mon. They explained this was a show for bastards, by bastards. They wanted to encourage everyone wrestling to unleash their inner bastard just for today.

The main event saw Team YaroZ facing Team BOYZ with the latter being uncomfortable with the surroundings. Makoto Oishi complained about a stinking smell coming from the audience. He also called his opponents ugly, fat and old. Shigehiro Irie was very upset at being called old. He got his revenge by pinning Oishi with the Flying Sausage.

Keizo Matsuda discovered his Danshoku side during his victory over Danshoku Dino. While at first overpowered by his opponent, Matsuda pulled down his tights to reveal he was wearing Danshoku tights underneath. He then used his newly found Danshoku ability to Lip Lock Dino and then pin him with the Tombstone. After the match Matsuda got his hands on some fans in the front row. He and Dino then did a Danshoku version of the Steiner Brothers pose on the stage. Brother Mon called it the birth of the Japanese Steiner Brothers.

The boxing match between Gota Ihashi and Kengo Mashimo was set for 45 one minute rounds with Yuzuki Aikawa providing some bouncy eye candy as the round girl. Aikawa however appeared in her regular everyday clothing because she had other things to do today. Ihashi and Mashimo had a slugfest but everybody noticed that everytime a round ended, Aikawa would remove a piece of clothing before holding the next round card. So Yukinori Matsui did everything he could to make sure the match continued even though Ihashi and Mashimo were beating the tar out of each other. At the end of the third round Aikawa promised to reveal her swimsuit if the fight made it to Round 5. Mashimo knocked out Ihashi in the 4th Round but Matsui counted as slowly as he could. Mashimo got sick of the stalling and said he was going home. With Mashimo leaving and Ihashi still unconcious, Brother Mon had no other choice but to call off the match. The arena broke out into chaos until Aikawa decided to strip down to her Stars & Stripes swimsuit much to the excitement of every man in the building.

Both Shuji Ishikawa and Kankuro Hoshino wrestled their hardcore match wearing fundoshi instead of their usual gear.

The Embarrassment Match involved Antonio Honda, Seiya Morohashi and Misaki Ohata trying to humiliate each other to win. The first person to make another wrestler yell “I’m embarrassed!” would be crowned the winner. At first they all tried to strip each other but soon Honda brought in a whip. Ohata got rid of Honda and whipped Morohashi’s bare backside enough to make him say he was embarrassed. Brother Tommy said afterwards that it was a terrible match.

A main event of burly men versus pretty boys, two tough assholes in a hardcore match and an opener mocking the relationship status of both participants. As far as I can tell this is an anti-BOYZ show.
