3a. Yoshiko eliminated Toro Owashi when Yoshiko stripped off Owashi’s bra (12:53).
3b. Yoshiko eliminated Daisuke Sasaki and Antonio Honda when Yoshiko stripped off both Sasaki and Honda’s bras at the same time (17:32).
4. Hardcore 6-Man Tag Team Match: Shuji Ishikawa, Mad Paulie & Tetsuya Endo defeated Masashi Takeda, Kazusada Higuchi & Choun-Shiryu when Endo pinned Shiryu with the Sky Twister Press (20:12).

Daisuke Sasaki wasted no time when it came to getting drinks during the DAMNATION part of Beer Garden week. It seemed that he had a cup of beer with him every time he appeared in the ring. But there was no time for nonsense in the main event. DAMNATION wasn’t taking things easy because they put themselves in a 6-Man Hardcore Tag Team Match. Their opponents Masashi Takeda, Kazusada Higuchi & Choun-Shiryu brought out a ladder, a table and a wok to use as weapons. DAMNATION were armed with bamboo swords. Tetsuya Endo hit a No Touch Tope that led to a brawl around ringside. Shiryu responded by climbing the ladder and delivering a Flying Kung Fu Kick to Endo. Takeda then Body Slammed Endo onto the ladder back in the ring. Further damage was given to Endo after a Diving Senton from Takeda and a Diving Single Foot Stomp from Shiryu off the ladder. However Endo survived the onslaught and put down Shiryu with the Torture Rack Bomb. The Sky Twister Press afterwards won the match for DAMNATION. Endo told everyone that Takeda’s birthday was tomorrow so he wished him a happy birthday. Takeda thanked him and said the match was so much fun. Sasaki then went on a rant saying he is sick of all the marriage proposals that are happening in Beer Garden this year. They don’t care about marriage, they’re too busy making he entire world revolve around DAMNATION!

One person in the Blindfold Bra match had an advantage over everyone else. Yoshiko was the only wrestler wearing their bra underneath their wrestling gear. Her three male opponents normally wrestle topless so their bras were all vulnerable from being stripped. It took around fifteen minutes but Yoshiko was able to strip the bras off all of her opponents to win. Antonio Honda thought he had his hand on her but it was actually Daisuke Kiso. When he pulled off Kiso’s shirt it was revealed Kiso was wearing a bra underneath.

Shuji Ishikawa has to lose some water weight for his KO-D Openweight Title Match in Sumo Hall. So he was put in a match made specifically to make him sweat. His opponent Nobuhiro Shimatani came up with a secret plan to help him sweat. He bribed Mad Paulie with a frankfurter and also Daisuke Kiso with a baseball card of Takahiro Arai from the Hiroshima Toyo Carp to be on his side. Together they were able to put force a heavy jacket onto Ishikawa to make him sweat. Paulie also found a blanket and woolly hat to put on Ishikawa. Gota Ihashi then found a bottle of lotion and poured it over Ishikawa to heat him up even more. Unfortunately that made the ring canvas too slippery to stand on and the match had to be called off.

Sasaki and Masahiro Takanashi fought in a rounds match where both of them had to drink a cup of beer after every round. Each round was only 30 seconds long. In the little time they had between drinking they did try to wrestle but in the end the round limit was reached and a draw was called. Both Sasaki and Takanashi cried and went to hug each other. Sasaki then Low Blowed Takanashi. Takanashi Low Blowed Sasaki in return.

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2016 ~DDT DAY~”, 08/08/2016
Shinjuku FACE
600 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

0. King Of Dark Title: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Chikara with La Magistral Cradle (3:59).
*D1 for Chikara.
1. Mad Paulie & Gota Ihashi defeated Akito & MAO when Paulie pinned MAO with the Paulie Buster (8:37).
2. 3 Way Tag Match: Yukio Sakaguchi & Masahiro Takanashi defeated HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano and Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata when Sakaguchi pinned Katsumata with the Right Knee Of God (7:49).

4. Hikaru Sato & Atsushi Aoki defeated Soma Takao & Kouki Iwasaki when Aoki submitted Iwasaki with the Cross Armbreaker (11:10).
5. Danshoku Dino & Keisuke Ishii defeated Kota Umeda & Mizuki Watase when Dino submitted Watase with the Lip Lock (10:22).
6. Daisuke Sasaki & Tetsuya Endo defeated Mike Bailey & Guanchulo when Sasaki submitted Guanchulo with the Cross Facelock (11:13).
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) defeated Toru Owashi with a 6 Reverse Horizontal Chop Barrage (19:58).
*V3 for Konosuke Takeshita. Toru Owashi cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

The last of the Right To Challenge Contracts has been used but it resulted in failure for Toru Owashi. After holding on to the contract for almost five months he finally got his KO-D Openweight Title shot against Konosuke Takeshita. He was on the defence from the start when Takeshita Dropkicked him out of the ring but he dodged a Plancha. Takeshita targeted Owashi’s right arm until a Chop battle broke out. Owashi won that and locked in the WAR Special. Another Chop battle ended with Owashi throwing down Takeshita with a Choke Slam. Owashi then hit the Diving Body Press for a nearfall. Takeshita avoided the Power Bomb and threw Lariats to regain control. He hit a Vertical Drop Brainbuster but Owashi kicked out at one! Takeshita hit the Blue Thunder but Owashi kicked out at two. Takeshita hit the German Suplex but Owashi kicked out at two again! Takeshita then hit a Reverse Horizontal Chop and that was the killing blow. “Owashi” chants filled the room when he was helped out to the back but Shuji Ishikawa then appeared. He and Takeshita faced off, confirming the two will fight for the KO-D Title at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2016”. Ishikawa congratulated Takeshita for the victory but also said he will get revenge on his 4 minute loss to him from May at DDT’s biggest stage. DAMNATION will prove they are the best team and he will prove he is the strongest when he robs the belt from Takeshita. Takeshita said the strongest in DDT is the person with the belt and that’s him. He will fight Ishikawa with full force at Sumo Hall.

Daisuke Sasaki felt triumphant when he & Tetsuya Endo defeated Mike Bailey & Guanchulo. He told Bailey there is no use fighting him. He then called out Dick Togo and demanded he appear. Bailey in English replied he didn’t know what to say. Sasaki said (in Japanese) he doesn’t know what Bailey is saying but he should listen because Mother Earth revolves around DAMNATION. Remember that!

Danshoku Dino wanted to kick off Beer Garden week with a toast to his fellow opponents. It was all a ruse and he spat beer on Mizuki Watase to kick off the match. Dino later put mayonnaise in his mouth then gave Watase the Lip Lock to make him submit. LiLiCo rushed into the ring to check on her boyfriend after the match. Dino welcomed her to Beer Garden and offered her a toast for their upcoming “hottest summer” in Sumo Hall. This time the offer was genuine and the two drank during their standoff. In a backstage interview Dino said he is convinced Watase is gay and his relationship with LiLiCo is trying to hide it. Dino will prove it at Sumo Hall.

In a preview of the AJPW Jr. Title Match at Sumo Hall, things went off the rails between Hikaru Sato and Soma Takao. While Atsushi Aoki was tapping out Kouki Iwasaki, Sato also had Takao locked in a Cross Armbreaker submission. Sato refused to let go of the hold when his partner won the match and it had to be broken up. Takao retaliated with a Dropkick and the two began fighting around ringside while their seconds tried to stop them.

Chikara was given his only chance to get rid of the King Of Dark Title before Sumo Hall with a dark match against Sanshiro Takagi. Chikara did well with his Chop heavy offence but was outsmarted when Takagi gave him a Low Dropkick to the legs followed by La Magistral Cradle for the three count. Chikara’s father Mitsuo Momota watched the match from the sidelines and approached Amon Tsurumi with an offer. He wants to wrestle with his son at Sumo Hall and help him lose that cursed championship. Momota doesn’t care that it’s the dark match because he had been a curtain jerker for years!

The list of candidates for this year’s DDT Dramatic General Election was announced at intermission. The field is made up almost entirely of DDT regulars but KAI and Yuko Miyamoto are also included due to their involvement in the KO-D Tag Team Title Match at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2016”. Mitsuo Momota also successfully negotiated Chikara to be included because of Chikara’s King Of Dark reign. The deadline for more candidates to enter is 13th August.

*DAMNATION becomes the 26th KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!

After over two months of inactivity we now have new KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions! The finals of the tournament took place in Saitama and in the end DAMNATION tore through NωA and Shuten-dōji to claim the belts. Daisuke Sasaki said DAMNATION will continue to overwhelm DDT when Shuji Ishikawa wins the KO-D Openweight Title at Sumo Hall.

The 4 Way Match presented a unique preview of the “PETER PAN 2016” main event. Ishikawa will definitely be facing the KO-D Champion but the champion could be Toru Owashi instead of Konosuke Takeshita. Kazusada Higuchi was also there as a potential wild card. Takeshita looked to have the match won when he weakened Owashi with a Lariat and Blue Thunder Bomb but Owashi caught him by surprise with an Inside Cradle and pinned the champion out of nowhere. Owashi told Takeshita that two days from now the fun will be over when they fight for the KO-D Title.

With Antonio Honda translating for him, Mike Bailey told the audience he isn’t satisfied with his tour yet because he has a lot more to do in Japan. Today’s DDT debut is only the beginning of Mike Bailey. He is anxious to team with Dick Togo at Sumo Hall because to him, Togo is the most successful wrestler in the world.

This months Infomercial Match was sponsored by the book store Shosen. The match would consist of five rounds between the two teams with different rules to represent the different shop floors found in Shosen stores. Round 1 was one count pinfalls. Danshoku Dino immediately pinned Kazuki Hirata. Round 2 was two count pinfalls. Saki Akai tied the score when she pinned Super Sasadango Machine. From there Akai’s team won the remaining rounds. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi submitted Gota Ihashi in Round 3 where submissions were needed to win. Akai kicked Ihashi out of the ring in Round 4 with Over The Top Rope rules. Finally Round 5 was just a normal match and Akai pinned Dino to end the series 4-1 in favour of her team.

KENSO had to fight Sanshiro Takagi in a 5 minute Iron Man Match to earn a spot on the “PETER PAN 2016” card. The match ended 1-1 but regardless of the outcome KENSO’s fate was left in the hands of three judges: DDT staff member Hisaya Imabayashi, Shukan Puroresu’s DDT correspondent Asata Kato and legendary wrestler Mitsuo Momota. The judges’ scorecards were 30-27, 28-30 and 30-2 resulting in a 2-1 victory for Takagi. KENSO complained about the 30-2 score from Momota. Momota straight up told KENSO he doesn’t want to see him wrestle in Sumo Hall! KENSO said he loves the DDT fans and wanted nothing more than to be at “PETER PAN 2016”. Takagi had a change of heart and told KENSO he can wrestle at Sumo Hall. He then told him about the upcoming DDT Dramatic General Election. It is mentally exhausting to campaign for votes but it will prove once and for all what the DDT fans think of KENSO. KENSO said he has experience with elections because he helped his wife Hiroko Suzuki campaign for her seat in the Funabashi City Council. He agreed to enter and is determined to finish first.

Chikara appeared at the start of the show to announce his participation for “PETER PAN 2016”. He is honoured to wrestle in the same building his father Mitsuo Momota wrestled in many times throughout his career. It was decided that while he was here in Kasukabe Hall he will wrestle in an impromptu match. Yumehito Imanari came out complaining that DDT yet again forgot to organise a King Of Dark Title match in advance. Chikara offered his Power Of Dreams friend to be his opponent. Amon Tsurumi excitedly agreed with the idea and made the match there and then. Chikara did his many Chops but Imanari scored the win with a Samson Clutch, meaning Chikara is now the King Of Dark Champion! Chikara was told he will have to fight in the Sumo Hall dark match unless he wins a DDT dark match before then. He’ll have one chance to get rid of the title at the first show of Beer Garden week.

Smile Squash and Shuten-dōji are the last teams to qualify for the 2nd round of the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles tournament. Smile Squash went over Happy Motels while Shuten-dōji defeated T2Hide after a planned ambush from T2Hide went sour. Kazuki Hirata did not appear with Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi when they made their entrance. Takagi explained that Hirata got lost in Kobe so they will have to wrestle without him. Midway through the match Hirata’s music began to play and he rushed down to the ring to ambush his weakened opponents. Yukio Sakaguchi stopped him easily. A dance off only delayed the inevitable and Sakaguchi put an end to it with a Penalty Kick. Takagi apologised to Owashi for the plan’s failure putting his Right To Challenge contract at risk.

Makoto Oishi went into his match against Dick Togo with a special instruction from his manager Super Sasadango Machine. He wants Oishi to recruit Togo for the NωA. Oishi made Togo promise to join the idol group if Oishi could beat him. Togo was on the verge of winning when Daisuke Sasaki ran out and pushed him off the top rope. Oishi capitalised and pinned Togo for the upset. Togo reluctantly put on an NωA shirt and posed with his new bandmates. Togo got revenge on Sasaki later in the show when he attacked him during Sasaki’s tag match. Togo gave Sasaki the Pedigree and the Diving Senton while the referee was absent then placed Kouki Iwasaki on top of him for the pin. He then gave a Pedigree to the other NωA members. After Togo left the ring Oishi announced that “Togo-tan” had just graduated from NωA due to “various circumstances”. In a backstage interview Togo said the only NWA he knows is the one with Harley Race and Ric Flair in it.

DDT “YOKOHAMA TWILIGHT 2016 ~SUMMER~”, 23/07/2016
Yokohama Radiant Hall
316 Fans – Super No Vacancy

2. Yukio Sakaguchi & Kota Umeda defeated Soma Takao & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Sakaguchi submitted Matsunaga with the Cobra Clutch (9:48).

4. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles Tournament – Round 1: Makoto Oishi, Shunma Katsumata & MAO defeated Danshoku Dino, Keisuke Ishii & Super Sasadango Machine when Oishi pinned Machine with the Jikiden Tornado Clutch (9:59).
5. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles Tournament – Round 1: Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Kouki Iwasaki & Mizuki Watase when Endo pinned Watase with the Torture Rack Bomb (14:24).
6. HARASHIMA, Akito & Yasu Urano defeated Ken Ohka, KAI & Shota when HARASHIMA pinned Shota with the Somato (18:28).
7. Konosuke Takeshita & Antonio Honda defeated Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Honda submitted Hirata with a Manjigatame (14:41).

Kazuki Hirata spoke on Toru Owashi’s behalf before the main event began. Hirata warned Konosuke Takeshita that Owashi will be seriously strong when they fight for the KO-D Openweight Title at Beer Garden Week, so Takeshita better be prepared! The bell rang and Hirata charged at Takeshita. He took a boot to the face and was almost immediately pinned but he just kicked out before three. Takeshita later took out Owashi with a Plancha out of the ring. Antonio Honda then submitted Hirata with a Manjigatame after he avoided the Viagra Driver. Honda said he could see the look of wonder on Owashi’s face as he wrestled with Takeshita. Honda now looks forward to watching the title match. Takeshita told Owashi he is ready even if Owashi fights at 120%.

KAI was really happy to be back home in Yokohama. He went around singing the Yokohama Baystars cheer song during the show’s opening announcements. However his team’s game plan against Smile Squash fell apart when he accidentally Clotheslined both Shota and Ken Ohka. There was some recovery and the KO-D Tag Team Champions were able to hit HARASHIMA with the Double Spear Of Flame. Unfortunately Shota was the legal man and he failed to capitalise. HARASHIMA recovered, hit the Somato and won the match for Smile Squash. KAI sang the Baystars song again backstage to cheer his team up.

Daisuke Sasaki continued to attack Team DNA after DAMNATION defeated them. This prompted Dick Togo to run out and confront Sasaki for what he did to him at Korakuen Hall last week. Mad Paulie stood in his way but Togo said Sasaki’s pet is also his pet, so sit! Paulie did what Togo said and backed off. Tetsuya Endo blindsided Togo with a Dropkick from behind. Togo retaliated with a Lariat and gave Sasaki the Pedigree. He then challenged Sasaki & Endo to a tag team match at “PETER PAN 2016” in Sumo Hall. Amon Tsurumi stepped in and asked if Togo had a partner? Togo admitted he hadn’t thought that far ahead. Tsurumi decided that Mike Bailey will team with Togo to take on DAMNATION!

The KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title tournament began with NωA performing their single “Never Give Up ☆ I LOVE YOU”. Super Sasadango Machine clapped to the song even though he was on the other team. Danshoku Dino questioned Sasadango’s priorities since he is wrestling for Fantastic Memories while managing NωA. Sasadango assured Dino he wanted to win the 6-Man Tag Titles. That became questionable when Sasadango held back from fighting with Makoto Oishi during the match. His Lehmann Shock attempt was unusual and allowed Oishi to cradle him into the match winning pin. Sasadango praised NωA for the win and said they passed their first test. He then apologised to the rest of Fantastic Memories for being careless and promised they will get another opportunity to go after the titles. In a backstage interview Sasadango said he wants Dick Togo to be the NωA’s fourth member.

*V2 for Konosuke Takeshita. Tetsuya Endo cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

takeshita-beats-endo

Konosuke Takeshita is still the KO-D Openweight Champion but it came at the cost of losing his best friend and tag team partner. Tetsuya Endo was the latest Right To Challenge holder to get his title shot and threw everything out there. He hit a No Touch Tope and a Swan Dive Elbow but Takeshita yelled at him to attack more. Endo went for the Torture Rack Bomb but it was countered with a Headlock. The Sky Twister Press missed and the two were soon both on their knees trading Elbow Smashes. Endo hit a Flip Piledriver for a nearfall. He later did an Avalanche Hurricanrana but Takeshita used the momentum to roll Endo into a pin for a two count. Takeshita then countered another Hurricanra into a Power Bomb. It finally took two German Suplexes to put Endo away.

this-is-the-endo

Takeshita praised the match they just had and said he wants their generation to liven up DDT. He offered a handshake but was suddenly interrupted by DAMNATION. Unit leader Daisuke Sasaki looked at Endo and asked him if he was tired of being a second class wrestler underneath his friend? He held up a DAMNATION T-shirt and asked if Endo wants to join them. Endo shocked everyone by pushing Takeshita away and accepting the shirt! Sasaki introduced everyone to DAMNATION’s 4th member, Tetsuya Endo!

owashi-rtc-challenge

When DAMNATION left ringside Takeshita was crushed. Ever since Endo won the contract in Hakata, Takeshita wanted nothing more than to have this title match with his friend in Korakuen Hall. If that wasn’t bad enough, “Sandstorm” played over the music system and Toru Owashi came out . The holder of the last active Right To Challenge contract finally decided on the date for his KO-D Title match. Amon Tsurumi stepped in and guessed the date. 23rd July in Yokohama? No, Owashi said that was too soon. How about 13th August in Shinjuku FACE for the last show of Beer Garden week? No, instead Owashi will cash in at the beginning of Beer Garden week on 8th August! Owashi said he waited four months for his title shot because it made him strong and the timing of it means he is guaranteed to go into Sumo Hall as the champion if he wins. And in Sumo Hall he will be so strong it’s scary! Takeshita’s response was that he will beat Owashi with the German Suplex and go on to face Shuji Ishikawa.

irie-farewell

Shigehiro Irie bid farewell to DDT and Japan with his final match before his American excursion. Irie couldn’t hold back the tears as he was showered with green tape from the fans. But he still had a match with Yukio Sakaguchi, HARASHIMA and Keisuke Ishii to go through. He hit the Beast Bomber twice on Ishii to win the match for himself & Sakaguchi. Irie bowed to all four sides of the arena to a thunderous applause.

sasaki-betrays-togo

Daisuke Sasaki isn’t happy to see his mentor Dick Togo back in action. Togo won his Korakuen return match and offered to shake hands with Kazusada Higuchi afterwards. Sasaki came out and went to hug Togo but instead gave him a Low Blow. Sasaki called Togo a dickhead and said that his disciple has gotten stronger during his four year absence. Togo tackled Sasaki and punched him over and over until wrestlers and referees came out to stop him. Sasaki gave one of the referees the Michinoku Driver II before leaving the ring. Togo was furious at Sasaki’s actions.

sasadango-nwa-manager

NωA continues to struggle, this time losing to DAMNATION. However help came afterwards in the form of Super Sasadango Machine. Sasadango complimented their musical and dancing talents but noticed a big flaw in their performance. They have no strong business relationships. Their strength in pro wrestling is tied to the strength of their business relationships. Sasadango offered to be their manager and handle all of NωA’s behind the scenes business. He also promised to get them booked on the “DDT FES 2016” show in November.

owashi-rtc-defence

Toru Owashi successfully defended his Right To Challenge Contract once again, this time in a 10-Person Tag Match. Owashi unmasked Super Sasadango Machine and pinned him with La Magistral Cradle. Danshoku Dino told Owashi after the match that today was the last DDT show in Korakuen Hall before “PETER PAN 2016” so maybe he can finally cash in his title shot. Sanshiro Takagi also pushed for Owashi to do it. Or maybe he could have the contract instead. Owashi slapped Takagi and said he already decided when he will get his title match. Owashi then had to flee from ringside when he was chased by wrestlers begging for the contract.

takao-sato-ajpw

Masa Takanashi is now wrestling under his real name Masahiro Takanashi plus he got a new entrance song to boot. But his moment in the spotlight was stolen by Soma Takao when Takao pinned Kota Umeda to continue his string of victories. His victory was interrupted by the return of Hikaru Sato! The Hard Hit fighter and former DDT wrestler is now currently the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Champion and he was recently challenged by Takao to a title match. Sato’s appearance was to announce the date and location of the match. All Japan has allowed the match to take place at “PETER PAN 2016”!

sunflower-bomb-kenso

Amon Tsurumi’s bright idea of pairing Sanshiro Takagi & KENSO together as a team caused as much trouble as expected yet still produced results. Before their match began Takagi and KENSO argued over whose entrance song they should use. Daisuke Kiso came up with the solution to use both songs at the same time. During the match Takagi & KENSO collided with missed attacks several times. Takagi decided he had enough to he gave KENSO the Sunflower Bomb onto Mizuki Watase. KENSO stayed on top of Watase so that counted as a pin. After the match KENSO rallied the fans to convince DDT that he should be get a match at “PETER PAN 2016”. The fans booed him and Takagi refused. Tsurumi decided to give KENSO one more opportunity. He’ll fight Takagi at Kasukabe Hall on 6th August and if his performance is good enough he’ll get added to the “PETER PAN 2016” card. Tsurumi then told Takagi to please somehow become a better wrestler!

kudo-returns

KUDO gave an important update at the start of the show about his recovery process. He thanked the fans for waiting because he will return to action at “PETER PAN 2016”! He will team with Masahiro Takanashi to take on Yasu Urano & Akito. KUDO told everyone his goal is to start from zero and climb all the way back up to the KO-D Championship!

A big title match for “PETER PAN 2016” on 28th August was announced. Ken Ohka & KAI will defend the KO-D Tag Team Titles against HARASHIMA & Yuko Miyamoto, aka Yankee Smile!

Some new DDT merch is in production. NωA is getting an EVERLAST T-shirt, Saki Akai is getting a GLAM JAM bag and Danshoku Dino is getting a new DVD currently titled “DVD To Change The Friends Of Danshoku Dino To Like Professional Wrestling”.

takeshita-beats-miyamoto

There is a lot to talk about concerning the KO-D Openweight Title after today’s show. Konosuke Takeshita went into his title defence against Yuko Miyamoto with only Antonio Honda in his corner. His usual tag partner Tetsuya Endo was absent from ringside after he earlier won a Right To Challenge Contract. Miyamoto handed in his own RTC contract to officially begin the title match. Miyamoto locked in the Manji Cobra and also hit the Fire Thunder and Moonsault but none of those moves could win him the match. Takeshita countered La Magistral Cradle into a Roll Through German Suplex to mark a successful defence.

endo-challenges-takeshita

Takeshita said he enjoyed wrestling Miyamoto and a win over him increases the value of the KO-D Title. He would be happy to wrestle him again numerous times. But now it was time to look to the future. He thought his next title defence will be at Sumo Hall this August. However Endo finally reappeared with his newly won RTC contract. He told “Bamboo-chan” that for two months he’s been happy to see his friend as the KO-D Champion. But from the bottom of his heart it has also been frustrating because he also wants to be the champion! Endo is using his contract for a title match in Korakuen Hall on 17th July! He said he was never able to surpass Takeshita until now. The atmosphere became so tense that Antonio Honda had to come in and strip down to his underwear to end the show on a lighter note.

damnation

Daisuke Sasaki revealed the official name for his unit at the start of the show. He and his pets Shuji Ishikawa & Mad Paulie are now DAMNATION. Sasaki came up with the name when he asked his English teacher the meaning of that word. He was told it is “the state of being in Hell as punishment after death.” For their first act they threatened to make an example out of Amon Tsurumi. Luckily for the GM, Ken Ohka ran out to save him. He said he didn’t care about “Dumb Nation” and when KAI gets here they would take the KO-D Tag Team Titles from them.

kai-tagwin

KAI did show up and they surprised everyone by becoming the new champions! KAI rolled off of Ishikawa to avoid the Doomsday Device then he and Ohka hit a Double Spear of Flame to both Sasaki & Ishikawa. KAI got the three count with the Splash Plancha. Both KAI & Ohka were reduced to tears as they were presented with the belts. Amon Tsurumi told them they will have to defend the belts at “PETER PAN 2016” on 28th August. KAI said he’s already booked that day. He then got confused and said his scheduled booking is for that very show. Tsurumi asked if he can do the title defence. KAI said no, then yes. Ohka said ever since he and KAI teamed together for the first time, a deep bond grew between them.

endo-wins-rtc

Endo won his RTC contract in a 4 Way Elimination Match, eliminating the previous holder Kazusada Higuchi to win the bout. Mad Paulie and Keisuke Ishii were also in the match with Paulie eliminating Ishii first. Higuchi was planning to declare himself the next KO-D challenger if he had won the match and kept the contract.

togo-return

“Insane In The Membrane” was played through the DDT music system for the first time in five years to mark the return of Dick Togo! This was his first match in Japan since his retirement although he had continued to wrestle part-time in South America. With Honda on his side they were able to beat Yasu Urano & Guanchulo with Togo scoring the pin. Togo said this was the best comeback he could hope for, wrestling with his former students Honda, Urano and Guanchulo. Although he felt like he was wrestling five years slower he thinks it will only take two or three more matches to regain his condition. He now looks forward to wrestling Higuchi & Kouki Iwasaki on 17th July. He is determined not to lose to those rookies.

somato-wins

The makeshift team of HARASHIMA, Soma Takao & Azul Dragon were too much for Shuten-dōji to handle. HARASHIMA countered Masa Takanashi’s Takatonic into a Buzzsaw Kick then finished him off with what else? The Somato.

yamashita-triumph

Miyu Yamashita was happy with how her homecoming match turned out. She now wants Tokyo Joshi Pro to run a show in Hakata Star Lane.

kisskiss-bangbang

The DDT Extreme Title was on the line in a passionate Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Death Match. LiLiCo put the title on the line against Makoto Oishi and both of them had their partners stand in opposite corners of the ring. They had to kiss their partner for five seconds to win the match. Easy for LiLiCo because she was with her boyfriend Mizuki Watase. Not so easy for Oishi because his designated partner was Batten Burabura. Oishi took one for the team and tried to kiss Burabura when he could. At one point the referee was knocked out so Oishi’s long kiss didn’t count for ages. Watase then pulled the referee out of the ring before he counted to 5. He aided LiLiCo in Power Bombing Oishi. The champion then locked in the Manjigatame on Oishi while deeply kissing Watase long enough to win the match.

watase-tugofwar

Amon Tsurumi congratulated LiLiCo for the victory and described her kisses like they were from a movie. He told her Danshoku Dino was now the No. 1 Contender for the title and the match will be at “PETER PAN 2016”. Dino came out and called LiLiCo’s relationship with Watase a publicity stunt. He wants Watase to be with him, not LiLiCo! Dino requested his match with LiLiCo to be a Watase Contra Watase match. The winner gets both the DDT Extreme Title and Mizuki Watase! The loser will be prohibited from even laying a finger on Watase ever again.

dino-setup

In the opening match Danshoku Dino used Kazuki Hirata’s dancing powers against him, kissing him multiple times in tune to the “Go! Go! Go! Go!” parts of his music. Hirata was helpless when Dino gave him the Danshoku Driver.

makiitoh-joshi

Maki Itoh from the idol group LinQ appeared with Miyu Yamashita after the intermission. She announced her intentions to wrestle for Tokyo Joshi Pro this year. Itoh has wrestled before in DDT and wanted an opportunity to become a proper pro wrestler. After discussions between her agency and Sanshiro Takagi she is allowed to train in Tokyo Joshi. She is a fan of Nonoko and eventually wants to wrestle like Cutie Suzuki.

DDT “RING WRESTLE FESTIVAL IN MATSUYAMA 2016” Results

June 19, 2016

yankee-smile

DDT “RING WRESTLE FESTIVAL IN MATSUYAMA 2016”, 19/06/2016
Matsuyama Comprehensive Community Center
363 Fans

1. Soma Takao & Ojoka Kid defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Kazuki Hirata when Kid pinned Hirata with a School Boy (0:03).
1a. Rematch: Soma Takao & Ojoka Kid defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Kazuki Hirata when Takao pinned Hirata with the Gin And Tonic (8:02).
2. Mitomi Masayuki, Madori Taro & Saki Akai defeated Keisuke Ishii, Gota Ihashi & Shunma Katsumata when Taro pinned Katsumata with the Swanton Bomb (8:06).
3. Big Thing Is A Good Thing! Small Thing Is Also A Good Thing! Matsuyama Specialty Uneven Tag Match: Toru Owashi & Masa Takanashi defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Makoto Oishi when Owashi pinned Oishi with La Magistral Cradle (9:22).
4. Shigehiro Irie & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Kota Umeda when Irie pinned Umeda with the Flying Sausage (10:34).
5. Super Sasadango Machine Matsuyama First Landing! Riddled With Popular People Special 3 Way Match: Antonio Honda defeated Super Sasadango Machine and Yasu Urano when Honda pinned Machine with th Diving Fist Drop (9:56).
6. Wrestling Crazy Journey: Daisuke Sasaki defeated Danshoku Dino with a School Boy (13:54).
7. Matsuyama Specialty Special Tag Match: Yuko Miyamoto & HARASHIMA defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo when Miyamoto submitted Takeshita with the Manji Cobra (17:12).

HARASHIMA and Yuko Miyamoto wrestled under the team name Yankee Smile and HARASHIMA wore the same gear as Miyamoto. The combination was too much for Konosuke Takeshita. He fell to the Fire Thunder from Miyamoto and then the Somato from HARASHIMA. Miyamoto then locked in a Manji Cobra forcing the KO-D Champion to give up. Takeshita admitted defeat today but told Miyamoto it will not happen again at their title match on 3rd July. Miyamoto said he might borrow HARASHIMA’s gear for the match but HARASHIMA told him the constant gear sharing might get confusing.

The match between Daisuke Sasaki and Danshoku Dino descended into chaos when referee after referee were being knocked out by both wrestlers. Daisuke Kiso was accidentally given a Lip Lock from Dino, then Sasaki kicked Yukinori Matsui below the belt. Sasaki also gave Kiso a Michinoku Driver. Matsui recovered but also became victim to a Lip Lock. Dino told Amon Tsurumi to get in the ring and it turned out the GM was wearing a referee shirt underneath his suit. Sasaki attempted to give Tsurumi a Michinoku Driver but Dino pulled him away to safety. Sasaki rolled Dino over with a School Boy and Matsui had the energy to count to three.

It’s been a while since Super Sasadango Machine wrestled in Matsuyama so he wanted his match with Antonio Honda and Yasu Urano to be a special one. His plan involved forcing his special Sasadango mask on Honda backstage before the match, turning him into a Sasadango Machine! With Honda under his control they ganged up on Urano. However Sasadango also cut off Honda whenever he went for a pin. Urano fought back by using wrapping his bandana over Sasadango’s eyes. It then turned out that Urano and Sasadango were in cahoots all along! They ganged up on Honda and Urano pinned him. However Matsui only counted to two and then took his referee shirt off, revealing a Honda style vest underneath. Turns out he was in cahoots with Honda! He and Honda attacked Urano and Sasadango with Bionic Elbows and Diving Fist Drops leading to a Honda victory.

Kota Umeda was able to avoid Shigehiro Irie’s Tazzmission but his comeback was cut off with a Lariat and the Flying Sausage.

Madori Taro entered the ring with a big square head resembling an apartment floor plan. His opponents made fun of him until he got angry. When he got angry he removed the square head revealing a normal human head wearing a luchador mask. From that point on he was in battle mode and won the match with a Swanton Bomb on Gota Ihashi.

Ojoka Kid got the upset win over Kazuki Hirata in just three seconds during the opening match. Hirata demanded a rematch and called Ojoka a coward. Ojoka Kid introduced himself by saying he is Japanese and likes sushi and Mount Fuji. Oddly enough he was speaking with a Chilean accent. The rematch went ahead and Hirata was pinned again, this time by Soma Takao.

takeshita-crossarm-german

On the day he turned 21 years old Konosuke Takeshita made history by becoming the youngest ever KO-D Openweight Champion! In a rivalry that has been going on since February Daisuke Sasaki has been a thorn in Takeshita’s side. He had taken the KO-D Tag Team Titles from him in Sumo Hall and then prevented him from winning the belts back two months later. Both times Sasaki rendered him unconscious with the Doppelgänger Cross Facelock. Since then Sasaki won the KO-D Title with the same move and proclaimed himself as the unstoppable charismatic king of DDT. Takeshita entered the ring wearing the special ZERO mask he was given by ZERO himself in Osaka last week. Sasaki was ready to ruin Takeshita’s day when he tricked his opponent to leave the ring. Sasaki then threw him into the front row and hit a Russian Leg Sweep onto the chairs at ringside. Back in the ring Sasaki targeted the neck and shoulders and got a nearfall with the Hitman Elbow Drop. The damage was taking its toll and Sasaki found counters to the Blue Thunder Bomb. Takeshita turned the tables though and hit a No Rope Tope out of the ring onto both Sasaki and Shuji Ishikawa. Sasaki survived a Dragon Suplex and locked in the Cross Facelock until Takeshita cradled him for a two count. Sasaki went into a fit and kicked both Takeshita and Yukinori Matsui between the legs. Daisuke Kiso ran in to replace Matsui but he was given the Vietnam Driver II for his troubles. Sasaki hit a Diving Elbow Drop but Matsui was still down and unable to count any pinfall. A weary Takeshita gave Sasaki the middle finger when he was dragged up to his knees! Sasaki sat Takeshita down onto a chair and hit the Super Diving Elbow. This time Matsui was able to count but Takeshita kicked out. Sasaki took a page out of his mentor Dick Togo’s playbook and hit a Pedigree. He placed his feet on the ropes for leverage but Takeshita again kicked out! Takeshita tried to fight back but was in danger when Sasaki did La Mistica with the intention of locking in the Doppelganger Cross Facelock. Takeshita escaped the lock in the nick of time. He then blocked an Avalanche Pedigree and instead gave Sasaki an Avalanche Brainbuster for a two count. Sasaki desperately hit his flash Hurricanrana but that couldn’t get the job done. Another La Mistica was stopped with a modified Tombstone Piledriver. Takeshita did the German Suplex but that wasn’t enough. He then hit the Cross Arm German Suplex and three seconds later was crowned the new KO-D Champion!

drift-disbands

In their 100th and final match together as a unit Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao put the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles on the line in their first and only defence. Win or lose Team Dream Futures are going their separate ways. Smile Squash were in the position to spoil their last dance but that did not turn out to be the case. Irie blocked HARASHIMA’s Somato with the Traffic Accident Tackle while Ishii & Takao hit Yasu Urano with a Sandwich Enzuigiri. Urano fought back and tried to set up the Razor’s Edge on Takao but Irie caught him with the Beast Bomber. Takao picked up the pieces and pinned Urano with the Gin And Tonic. He thanked the fans for supporting Team Drift for all of its 100 matches and thanked Smile Squash for being their final opponents. Team Drift agreed to vacate the 6-Man Titles and handed the belts to Amon Tsurumi. A crying Irie hugged Tsurumi after he gave him his belt.

lilico-powerpoint

In a twist, Super Sasadango Machine’s regularly scheduled PowerPoint presentation was taken over by LiLiCo before their DDT Extreme Title match. During LiLiCo’s presentation she talked about the dangers of Sasadango’s finishing move the Lehmann Shock. She learned that the move is effective because of Sasadango’s size. In order to combat this she needed hit Sasadango hard enough to make him sink just like when the Titanic sunk from hitting an iceberg. Her goal was to turn this match into the movie Titanic. It will start with posh LiLiCo Winslet meeting the poor young Leonardo Watase and beginning their tragic love story, then an iceberg will hit Sasadango (ie Watase whacks him over the head with a chair) causing him to sink. Panic strikes everyone until LiLiCo hits the Titanic Cross Body to win the championship. She will then share a passionate kiss with Watase before their tragic farewell.

lilico-titanic

The match began and Sasadango easily overpowered LiLiCo. Makoto Oishi had Sasadango’s back and did what he could to prevent Watase from interfering, such as by taping him to the corner. Watase escaped and grabbed a chair only to be stopped by Oishi again. Oishi swung the chair at LiLiCo but missed and hit Sasadango instead. Suddenly “My Heart Will Go On” played on the sound system. LiLiCo and Watase reunited in the corner and did the Titanic pose together on the turnbuckles. She hit the Titanic Cross Body on Sasadango but that only got a two count. Sasadango went for a third Lehmann Shock but LiLiCo escaped and hit the Titanic Yoshi Tonic for the upset title change! The new champion was told her first defence will happen on 3rd July. LiLiCo demanded a handsome wrestler to be her opponent so she can kick the handsome out of him!

mad-polly-splash

Sasaki’s pets teamed together for the first time. The duo Shuji Ishikawa & Mad Polly are nicknamed “Eipo” (for Adrian & Polly) and made sure to make Tetsuya Endo’s night a difficult one. Ishikawa kept Kazusada Higuchi busy while Polly flattened Endo with a Reverse Splash for the win.

dino-hell-gate

The 4 Way Trios match had an extra ingredient of mayhem added by forcing each team to start the match in a different area at ringside. When the bell rang all four teams ran towards the ring and brawled around it. Saki Akai targeted Joey Ryan in an attempt to win back the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title but she wound up getting sucked into Danshoku Dino’s “Hell Gate”. That allowed Ryan to pin Shunma Katsumata with the Super Kick. Kazuki Hirata snuck up to Ryan after the match but his roll up was blocked. Instead he was pinned by Ryan for a successful title defence. Backstage Ryan said he will bring the Iron Man Title back with him to the United States and defend it around the world so he can bring it back to Japan as a global championship.

new-wrestling-aidoru

Sanshiro Takagi invited Makoto Oishi, Shunma Katsumata & Mao Inoue into the ring after Match #2. He announced the three of them were forming DDT’s first male idol group! The reason for this is DDT will be holding a show at a music festival this November and he thinks DDT should get involved in the music aspect too. The name of their group is NωA, New Wrestling Aidoru (Idol) and their songs will be written by the songwriter for the Up Up Girls. Oishi & Katsumata like the idea but Inoue is anxious about it. Their first song is expected to be ready in time for next month’s Korakuen Hall show.

kenso-cherry

A spot in King Of DDT 2016 was up for grabs in the opening match. It is the latest attempt by KENSO to worm his way into a permanent spot with DDT. Once again he had to fight his nemesis Sanshiro Takagi but this time KENSO had Cherry by his side. Cherry was dressed as a geisha girl for the occasion but was stripped down to her swimsuit and given a Stunner by Takagi. Cherry fled from ringside and the match continued. Takagi was on the verge of winning when suddenly Ultraman Robin entered the ring. Takagi did the “Destiny” pose with Robin until Robin unmasked. It was Cherry! She threw the mask at Takagi and the distraction allowed KENSO to finish him off with the Hagakure. Amon Tsurumi confirmed that KENSO now qualifies for the tournament. KENSO thanked Cherry for helping him and encouraged her to take off the costume. This time Cherry was happy to do so and they celebrated.

kai-ohka-brothers

Ken Ohka interrupted the opening ceremonies and brought a friend along to see Amon Tsurumi. It was the WRESTLE-1 Champion, KAI! KAI greeted Tsurumi by calling him Imabayashi. Tsurumi corrected him but KAI ignored it. Ohka asked Tsurumi if he and KAI could get a KO-D Tag Team Title shot. They recently won a match together in Ganbare☆Wrestling and he thinks that is good enough to earn them a championship match in DDT. KAI excitedly agreed. Tsurumi tried to calm both of them down while figuring out what to do. He told them he would think it over.

Terry Funk and NOSAWA Rongai were announced to compete at “PETER PAN 2016” in Sumo Hall on 28th August.

DDT will return to the Handmade In Japan Festival at Tokyo Big Sight for a street wrestling match on 24th July. The event takes place on the same day as Big Japan’s Sumo Hall show so that might effect who could be available to participate in the match.

The gender-swapped characters of Akito, Ken Ohka and Soma Takao for Ring☆Dream was shown to the audience. Akito is pleased with his character because she was given the biggest bust by far in the game. It matches his desire to have the biggest pecs in DDT.

The Beer Garden Week schedule has come out. This year the series takes place inside Shinjuku FACE for six straight days of wrestling shows. The schedule is as follows:

8/8: DDT Day

5. KING OF DDT 2016 Contestant Final: Kota Umeda defeated Kouki Iwasaki with the Umeda Driver I (13:57).
6. Daisuke Sasaki & Mad Polly defeated Antonio Honda & Konosuke Takeshita when Sasaki pinned Honda with La Mistica Crossface Lock (17:48).

At the beginning of the show Konosuke Takeshita told everyone that his KO-D Openweight Title shot on 29th May will also be happening on his 21st birthday. His goal is to become the youngest KO-D Champion in history. Daisuke Sasaki then entered the ring in a disguise to attack Takeshita. He kicked him below the belt but was then chased off by Antonio Honda. Sasaki Low Blowed Takeshita again in the main event. He then submitted Honda with La Mistica Crossface Lock. Sasaki tried to give Takeshita the Vietnam Driver II after the match but Takeshita escaped and knocked the champion out of the ring with a Lariat.

Kota Umeda is the first name entering the King Of DDT 2016 after he defeated Kouki Iwasaki in a qualifying match. Umeda was eliminated in the first round of last year’s tournament. He does not want a repeat of that.

Keisuke Ishii was glad to have wrestled with his Monthly Young Communication companions one more time. He was especially happy to be in the ring with Yukihiro Abe again since he wanted to wrestle him before Team Drift disbands. Abe said he would like to wrestle in DDT again if the opportunity is there.

The team of Danshoku Dino, Joey Ryan & Makoto Oishi has been described by Dino as the World’s Nudist Beach (now there’s an image to stick in your head). Late in the match Dino and Oishi positioned their bare asses selves on the turnbuckles and formed what they call the Rafflesia Flower. Ryan stuck his lolly pop into Dino’s ass and then ducked a Big Boot from Saki Akai. Her foot got trapped in between Dino & Oishi’s asses and Ryan stuck the lolly into her mouth. Ryan then rolled Akai into a pin to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title! After intermission Ryan talked with Amon Tsurumi and Guanchulo in the ring so he could understand the championship’s rules. Both Guanchulo and Akai tried to ambush him to win the belt but they ended up fighting each other. Akai knocked out Guanchulo with a Big Boot but Ryan then stuck another lolly into her mouth and Super Kicked her to escape with the title.

Dino & Oishi were told after their match that they will get an All Asia Tag Team Titles shot on 12th June. That is the same date as the King Of DDT 2nd Round. Oishi agreed to take the title shot and remove himself from the tournament. Dino decided to call his team with Oishi the Guname Express. He thinks it is a fitting name for them going after the All Asia Tag Titles.

Gota Ihashi’s challenger in the King Of Dark Title match wasn’t decided until right before the match. Both Tsurumi and Sanshiro Takagi were too busy to book a wrestler in the match. They both panicked and told Yumehito Imanari to be challenger. Imanari came down in his normal clothes and suddenly found himself wrestling Ihashi. He was on the verge of winning until a German Suplex went wrong. Ihashi was too heavy and landed on top of Imanari. Ihashi then hit a top rope Moonsault to win and transfer the dark match title to Imanari. Takagi handed Imanari the belt and congratulated him for a good match. He then told him to get back to work.

Tsurumi gave out details about this year’s King Of DDT tournament. It will be a 16-man elimination tournament featuring the DDT roster and the full line-up will be announced on the 29th May Korakuen Hall show. Daisuke Sasaki, Konosuke Takeshita, Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi and whoever holds the remaining Right To Challenge Contracts that day are not allowed to enter the tournament. Round 1 takes place on 5th June, Round 2 on 12th June and the remaining rounds on 28th June.
