– Sudden Death: Akito (c) defeated Daisuke Sasaki with a Perfect Figure Four Leglock (6:48).
*V1 for Akito.

The DDT Extreme Title was up for grabs in a gruelling 60 minute Ironman match, continuing the trend of the championship being defended in serious skill-based matches. The champion Akito had already lost to the challenger Daisuke Sasaki in March. A rematch went 30 minutes without a winner and now even 60 minutes isn’t enough to determine who is more worthy of being champion. Sasaki scored the first fall with a Hurricanrana but Akito equalised with a Scorpion Armlock submission. Akito thought outside of the box with La Mistica into the Crossface Lock to go ahead again. A double countout occurred shortly afterwards when the two fought outside and did what they could to prevent the other from re-entering the ring. Akito made it a tie score at the 45th minute with the Kinniku Big Move. In the dying moments of the match Sasaki used TAKA Michinoku’s Dick Killer submission (Sasaki was trained by Dick Togo, the wrestler TAKA designed the move to use against) but Akito persevered until the bell rang to end the match at 2 falls a piece. A draw would have counted as a successful defence for Akito but the champion refused and wanted the match to restart so they could determine a winner. Sudden death overtime began and the two were able to fight for 6 more minutes until Akito finally got the better of Sasaki with an Arm Clutch Figure Four Leglock. With nowhere to escape Sasaki had to give up. After the match the two reminisced about their first matches together at the Monthly Young Communication shows DDT used to do. Akito said he will continue to wrestle Sasaki any number of times in the future if they can.

Akito pointed out that his next title defence will be in Nagoya on 17th May. He nominated Shigehiro Irie as his next challenger since Nagoya is a place close to Irie’s heart. Irie was “amazingly happy” to be chosen and he knows he will be fighting the best.

HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano signalled their intentions to go after the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles after beating Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao. Ishii has no time to worry about that. His full attention is on the KO-D Tag Team Title shot at the end of the month.

We almost had the first Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract cash in. Hiroshi Fukuda entered the ring after the BOYZ Vs YaroZ match with the intention of challenging a tired Kota Ibushi for the KO-D Openweight Title. Problem is Ibushi wasn’t feeling tired. In fact he was ready to wrestle again there and then. Fukuda suddenly got cold feet and changed his mind. He remembered he has other errands to attend to and will challenge Ibushi another time. Amon Tsurumi told Fukuda he could cash in after the Ibushi Vs HARASHIMA match at Korakuen Hall. Fukuda played dumb and acted like he wasn’t sure what time that show is taking place before leaving the ring.

The YaroZ team had a secret weapon prepared for their BOYZ opponents. Brother Tommy introduced another MC midway through the match, Rashiki Ihashi. Unfortunately Ihashi’s interference backfired and cost YaroZ the match. Sanshiro Takagi was annoyed by losing because of an outside party and demanded a rematch without any interference from either side. BOYZ Vs YaroZ will have one final match at the 29th April Korakuen Hall show.

Before the latest Tokyo GO! match took place, Yukio Sakaguchi presented KUDO with the HIRATA GO glasses he wore in Yokohama. KUDO stubbornly refused to wear them. Kazuki Hirata came down to the ring angry that his glasses were stolen by Sakaguchi but he luckily had a spare one with him. As the match went on KUDO was eventually convinced to put on the glasses to go against Hirata’s. KUDO brought an end to the nonsense when he kicked Hirata in the head so hard the glasses flew off.

Ever since Danshoku Dino begun his “Danshoku Life” pilgrimage, MIKAMI has lost to him three times in a row.

Yasu Urano avoided dark match hell when he beat Gota Ihashi in the King of Dark Title match. Urano submitted Ihashi with a tight Headlock, the very same ending that happened in Ihashi’s debut DDT match almost 6 years ago.

DDT “ALL NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT” Results

March 30, 2014

DDT “ALL NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT – PART 1”, 29/03/2014
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
532 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

0. Dark Match: Shunma Katsumata defeated Shun Miyatake with a Small Package (1:31).
1. Soma Takao defeated Gota Ihashi with a Diving Foot Stomp (5:13).
2. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo defeated Michael Nakazawa & DJ Nira when Takeshita pinned Nira with the Touchdown (10:27).
3. HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano defeated MIKAMI & Hoshitango when Urano pinned Hoshitango with a Backslide Pin (9:36).
4. Kikutaro defeated Guanchulo with the Shining Kikuzard (14:31).
5. Lucha Libre Rules: Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega & Daisuke Sasaki defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Sasaki pinned Hirata after the PK Mind.
*Daisuke Sasaki wins Kazuki Hirata’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.
6. Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated Antonio Honda & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Ishii pinned Honda with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (10:40).
7. KUDO, Masa Takanashi & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Danshoku Dino, Makoto Oishi & Akito when KUDO pinned Oishi with the Buzzsaw Kick (13:55).

After scoring the pin in the main event, KUDO called out for any of the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract holders to come out and challenge him. When none of them came out he then turned his attention to his next confirmed challenger Akito and talked about their upcoming match KO-D Openweight Title match. Akito told him it was going to be a war and he is the future of DDT.

Keisuke Ishii is utterly focused on getting an All Asia Tag Team Title shot. He yelled out “Akiyama!” before he delivered an Exploder Suplex to Tomomitsu Matsunaga in their tag match. He and Shigehiro Irie also have a new double team move called the Go 2 Irie Sleep. It involves Ishii lifting up his opponent in the Go 2 Sleep position while Irie kneels down beside them. Ishii then throws the victim face first into Irie’s head. After the match Ishii showed a video of himself confronting Jun Akiyama and Yoshinobu Kanemaru demanding a title shot. Both of them rejected the challenge and walked off. The video then showed Ishii approaching Akiyama in a public toilet only for Akiyama to yell at him “I’m pissing, go away!” Back in the building Ishii said he will got to Akiyama’s dojo to ask again and he will record the meeting to show at next week’s show in Kawasaki.

With the Monster Army disbanded both Daisuke Sasaki and Antonio Honda decided it was time for a fresh start. Sasaki asked if he could team with the Golden Lovers (but not with Gota Ihashi). Both Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega said he could but they were then interrupted by Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata. Takagi challenged them to a Lucha Libre 6-Man Tag match. Sasaki worked well with the Golden Lovers, he even pulled off the PK Mind with Omega to win the match. Amon Tsurumi granted the new trio a KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title shot for the 12th April Kasukabe Hall show. Omega said he was reluctant to have Sasaki on his team instead of Ihashi but admitted they were a powerful team regardless.

Guanchulo cashed in his Right To Face Your Favourite Wrestler Contract to get a match with Kikutaro before he returns to Chile on 28th May. Kikutaro used his tricks to get Yukinori Matsui involved in the match and they proved to be the deciding factor. Afterwards Kikutaro thanked Guanchulo for choosing him to be his opponent.  Danshoku Dino announced the return of Danshoku Ranch Classic will happen on 20th May and it will be a farewell show for Guanchulo. He will also put his DDT Extreme Title on the line against Guanchulo in Kasukabe Hall on 12th April.

The DDT trainees Shunma Katsumata and Shun Miyatake pleaded with Amon Tsurumi to let them have another exhibition match. They were both unhappy that their bout at “JUDGEMENT 2014” ended in a draw. Miyatake also wants to prove he is ready to debut properly. Tsurumi allowed the match to happen with the stipulation that Miyatake will earn his debut match if he wins. Miyatake wasn’t able to capitalise on his oppotunity and lost to Katsumata in 91 seconds.

HARASHIMA and Yasu Urano will continue to team together under the name UraShima. They are willing to team with other wrestlers but have no plans to recruit a third member.

DDT held two late night shows in Shin-Kiba 1st RING. The second show was dedicated to a one night arm wrestling tournament called the GO-1 CLIMAX. The winner would get a ¥50,000 cash prize. The final turned out to be a preview for the 13th April main event as Kota Ibushi and Konosuke Takeshita took each other on, with Ibushi winning. Takeshita told Ibushi he beat his right arm but his left arm is stronger.

After losing his Right To Challenge Contract earlier in the night, Kazuki Hirata quickly replaced it with Masa Takanashi’s contract after he pinned him in a 10-Man Tag match. Hirata spent the night wearing a Magnum TOKYO mask in between his matches.

The night ended with a performance of Hulk Hogan Gymnastics by Antonio Honda.

Here we have a multi-promotional tag match between DDT and Wrestling New Classic against All Japan and ZABUN (a WAVE affiliated brand). This is a kind of match that I like to call Fire Pro Wrestling match making.

Daisuke Sasaki has been entered into a tournament to crown New Japan’s newest champion. The NEVER Openweight Title is the prize everyone will be fighting for and Sasaki will face 8 year veteran Tomohiro Ishii in the first round on 15th November in Tokyo SHIBUYA-AX. Is Sasaki defeats Ishii he will face YOSHI-YASHI or Ryuichi Sekine in the next round four days later.

Kota Ibushi – Super Junior… Or Superior Junior?

June 10, 2011

NJPW, 10/6/11
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
2,005 Fans

1. Kenny Omega, Daisuke Sasaki & TJP defeated KUSHIDA, Mascara Dorada & Hiromu Takahashi when Omega pinned Takahashi with the Croyt’s Wrath (9:12).
3. Best of the Super Jr. – Semi Final: Kota Ibushi defeated Davey Richards with the Firebird Splash (11:17).
8. Best of the Super Jr. – Final: Kota Ibushi defeated Ryusuke Taguchi with the Phoenix Splash (20:22).

Kota Ibushi has claimed his (and possibly DDT’s) greatest achievement to date by becoming to first wrestler outside of New Japan to win the Best Of The Super Jr. tournament. Ibushi survived a rocky start to defeat such established names as Mascara Dorada, TAKA Michinoku, Gedo, The Great Sasuke, Jushin Liger and Davey Richards (Hey! Stop laughing down at the back!) so he could reach the final to face the man who defeated him on the very first night of the tour, Ryusuke Taguchi. The situation brought back memories of one year ago when deep into his grand final match against Prince Devitt, a Firebird Splash gone wrong seriously injured Ibushi’s shoulder and killed his chance at winning the tournament. Without any hesitations, Ibushi was able to use the Firebird Splash to win most of his matches in the group stages. But in the final, Ibushi went one better and pinned Taguchi in 20 minutes with the Phoenix Splash.

Ibushi was presented with the trophy by Milano Collection AT and he also received the winner’s cheque of ¥5 million. During his backstage interview, Ibushi said it is his dream to become the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion and he has challenged Prince Devitt to a IWGP Jr. Title match for 18/6 in Osaka. He was then joined by Kenny Omega, Daisuke Sasaki, Michael Nakazawa & Yukinori Matsui for a celebration. Michael brought along beer for a toast but Ibushi drank a can of cola instead. When asked about what he wants to spend his prize winnings on, Ibushi couldn’t think of anything. He was happy enough to win the trophy.

For Kenny Omega it was a case of so close, yet so far. After an explosive run that at Kenny’s peak saw him winning his first five matches, he then dropped falls to his remaining opponents Prince Devitt, Jado and Davey Richards who slipped through to the semi-finals at Kenny’s expense. He managed to grab a win back for his final match of the tour, a Six-Man opening tag match that also included Daisuke Sasaki.

5. Best of the Super Jr. – Block B: Kota Ibushi [6] defeated Daisuke Sasaki with the Firebird Splash [2] (10:39).
6. Best of the Super Jr. – Block A: Kenny Omega [10] defeated Tiger Mask [8] with the Croyt’s Wrath (9:05).

1. Best of the Super Jr. – Block B: Mascara Dorada [6] defeated Daisuke Sasaki [2] with a Tornillo (8:02).
6. Best of the Super Jr. – Block B: Kota Ibushi [8] defeated Gedo [2] with the Firebird Splash (10:10).
8. Best of the Super Jr. – Block A: Prince Devitt [10] defeated Kenny Omega [10] with the Bloody Sunday (12:08).

Kenny Omega has been on fire in the Best Of The Super Jr tournament. Up until the most recent show he achieved a five match winning streak. His first defeat was to Prince Devitt, who now ties with Kenny on the top of Block A. As you can see in the pic above, Kenny used the “Anywhere Pro-Wrestling” style for which he is infamous for to battle Devitt with. Kenny’s remaining matches are against Jado and Davey Richards.

In Block B, Kota Ibushi has recovered from his early setbacks to reach second place, sharing the position with a couple of rivals. Ibushi has dusted off the Firebird Splash as his finisher of choice for the tournament*. Ibushi’s final two matches are vital for Block B as he takes on the current leader Great Sasuke and fellow 2nd placer Jushin Liger. Wins over both men will guarantee Ibushi of qualifying for the Semi-Final and could also prevent both Sasuke and Liger from advancing.

Daisuke Sasaki however can kiss goodbye his chances of advancing past the block stage. The best he can do now is play the role of spoiler for his last opponent, TAKA Michinoku.

*For the love of Takagi, don’t injure yourself with it again!

3. Best of the Super Jr. – Block A: Kenny Omega [6] defeated Fujita “Jr.” Hayato [4] with the Croyt’s Wrath (10:43)
5. Best of the Super Jr. – Block B: Kota Ibushi [2] defeated Mascara Dorada [2] with a Firebird Splash (7:28).

Kenny Omega is carving through the competition, winning all three of his matches so far. He has now defeated Koji Kanemoto twice in BOSJ match and can now add Fujita “Jr.” Hayato to the list of wins over big names in the Jr. Heavyweight scene. Omega is currently tied in first place along with Prince Devitt and Tiger Mask. Omega’s next opponent is American wrestler TJP.

Kota Ibushi on the other hand is hoping he has gotten over his poor start to the tournament. He lost to KUSHIDA in a big upset on the 28/5 event but finally grabbed his first points by beating Mascara Dorada on today’s show. Ibushi’s next opponent is TAKA Michinoku. Both Ibushi and Omega had their day off on 29th May and will have matches for the rest of the tour.

Daisuke Sasaki is having a similar run to Ibushi. Only one win in four matches. His sole victory came over the veteran Gedo, so at least he’s gotten something out of the tour. Sasaki’s next opponent is The Great Sasuke.

Best Of The Golden Loving Super Jrs, DDT In K-DOJO

April 23, 2011

Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega have been chosen to compete in this year’s Best Of The Super Jr tournament over in New Japan. Ibushi reached the final of last year’s tournament. He lost to Prince Devitt in a dramatic finale that saw Ibushi suffer a dislocated shoulder, an injury that has constantly plagued him ever since. Kenny finished fourth in his group but left a strong impression in his field, holding wins over Koji Kanemoto and Ryusuke Taguchi. Both of the Golden Lovers will be in seperate groups again when the tour begin on 26th May with the final happening on 10th June. Ibushi will be joined in his group by Daisuke Sasaki, who went through the NEVER Road to the Super Jr. 2 Day Tournament to earn his spot here.

There will be some DDT talent involved in K-DOJO’s “Golden Week Special” series at the end of April. Yasu Urano is a regular for the promotion as he trained at K-DOJO. He is currently the UWA Middleweight Champion and has just defended the belt against Venom Ant (The Colony’s non-union, Japanese equivalent?) on today’s show. He will now defend the belt against a mystery opponent on 1st May. DDT presents their version of the Mega Powers as Kota Ibushi & YOSHIHIKO team together to go after the WEW Hardcore Tag Team Title currently held by Kengo Mashimo & Ryuichi Sekine. Hikaru Sato will also appear on the tour with his SEX-MEN teammate Munenori Sawa as they take on HIROKI & Kengo Mashimo for the STRONGEST-K Tag Team Titles. Last but not least, Dick Togo will be in involved in two matches, the most important of them being the final match Kaientai*DX will have together before Togo’s retirement.

Finally, is love in the air for Kota Ibushi? It is according to a young and brash joshi hopeful named Yoshiko (No, not YOSHIHIKO). The 17 year old STARDOM wrestler apparently let slip that she wants to tie the knot with the shy Independent Genius. Not only that but she already has the date picked out: 24th July. That’s the same date as the DDT Sumo Hall show aswell as STARDOM’s first Korakuen Hall event. Is this just the hyper imagination of a lovesick teenager or will Kota take up the role of Prince Charming and sweep Yoshiko off her feet? I don’t know what Kenny will think of this. Kota & Yoshiko sitting in a tree…

Daisuke BOSJ Bound, Union Gets More Tenryu

April 9, 2011

NEVER.6 “ROAD TO THE SUPER JR. 2DAYS TOURNAMENT”
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
300 Fans

1. Road to the Super Jr. 2 Day Tournament – Block A – Semi Final: Daisuke Sasaki defeated Ryuichi Sekine with the NOW or NEVER (5:52).
3. Road to the Super Jr. 2 Day Tournament – Block B – Semi Final: Taichi defeated Keisuke Ishii with a High-Angle Crab Hold (4:15).
5. Kyosuke Mikami & Hiromu Takahashi defeated Kazuki Hirata & Shinichiro Tominaga when Takahashi pinned Hirata with the Fisherman Suplex (10:11).
6. Yujiro Takahashi, Tetsuya Naito, Jado & Gedo defeated Ken Ohka, Osamu Namiguchi, Marines Mask II & Kaji Tomato when Takahashi pinned Ohka after the Tokyo Pimps (15:50).
7. Road to the Super Jr. 2 Day Tournament – Block A – Final: Daisuke Sasaki defeated Tsuyoshi Kikuchi with the NOW or NEVER (14:26).

Daisuke Sasaki has earned a spot in this year’s Best Of The Super Junior tournament by winning his block in the Road to the Super Jr. tournament hosted by New Japan Pro Wrestling’s NEVER brand. Yesterday he defeated Kazuki Hirata and today he went past Ryuichi Sekine from K-DOJO in the second round of Block A. In the block’s final he met Tsuyoshi Kikuchi, the longtime veteran who has spent all year campaigning for a spot in the BOSJ. Sasaki shattered his dreams with his NOW or NEVER finisher and will now take his place among the elite Jr. Heavyweights in the world today…and Taichi.

Other DDT and Union wrestlers did not have a good day at the tournament, all losing their matches. Ken Ohka continued his chance meetings with high level wrestlers, losing to Yujiro Takahashi, Tetsuya Naito, Jado & Gedo in an 8-Man Tag. Kazuki Hirata & Shinichiro Tominaga teamed together in a losing effort to Kyosuke Mikami & Hiromu Takahashi.

DDT “SHIN-KIBA 5TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL” Results

November 3, 2010

DDT held a triple bill of shows in Shin-Kiba 1st RING today to celebrate the arena’s 5th anniversary. There was a Monthly Young Communication show, a Union show and the DDT show itself, which is the only show I have results for right now.

DDT “SHIN-KIBA 5TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL”, 03/11/2010
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
447 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Dick Togo, GENTARO & Yasu Urano defeated KUDO, Hoshitango & Takao Soma when GENTARO pinned Soma with the Diving Elbow Drop (12:25).
2. Variety Group Leader 100 Match Series 1st: Toru Owashi defeated DJ Nira with an Inside Cradle (0:03).
2a. Variety Group Leader 100 Match Series 2nd: Toru Owashi defeated DJ Nira by KO (3:10).
3. Young Drama Cup: Yukihiro Abe [3] defeated Rion Mizuki [0] by Pinfall (5:47).
4. Young Drama Cup: Keisuke Ishii [5] defeated Shigehiro Irie [2] with the Kneel Kick (5:13).
5. UWA Trios Title, Jiyugaoka Six Man Tag Team Title & Nihonkai Six Man Tag Team Title: Michael Nakazawa, Hikaru Sato & Tomimitsu Matsunaga defeated Great Kojika, Mr. #6 & Riho (c) when Matsunaga pinned Kojika with the Tommy Bomber (13:33).
*Kojika, #6 & Riho fail in V3 for Nihonkai & V2 for UWA and Jiyugaoka Titles. Shit Heart ♥ Foundation become the 43rd UWA Champions, the 7th Jiyugaoka Champions and the 4th Nihonkai Champions.
6. Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega defeated HARASHIMA & Kazuki Hirata when Omega pinned Hirata with the Croyth’s Wrath (11:09).
7. I Quit Confession: Danshoku Dino, Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki Vs Sanshiro Takagi, MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba ended in a No Contest when Honda & Sasaki attacked Dino (12:05).

Young Drama Cup Table

1. Keisuke Ishii [5]
2. Takao Soma [4]
3. Yukihiro Abe [3]
4. Shigehiro Irie [2]
5. Kazuki Hirata [0]
-. Rion Mizuki [0]

Both of the KO-D Tag Team Title belts went missing before the show. Danshoku Dino was convinced that MIKAMI & Tanomusaku Toba stole the belts and were keeping them hostage in order to get another title shot. This led to the main event being changed into an I Quit match where Dino could get the Suicide Boyz to confess to their crimes. He took advantage of the rules to interrogate his opponents in the usual Dino fashion. However, when Dino found out MIKAMI & Toba were innocent he was blindsided by his own partners Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki, causing the match to be thrown out. Honda & Sasaki revealed that they were the ones who stole the belts! DDT General Manager, Tsurumi Amon was quick to react and made a KO-D Tag Title match for the Osaka show on the 14th. It will be the Butt Samurai (yes, that is the team name for Dino & Shiro Koshinaka) versus Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki for the belts!

Speaking of belts, a large group of them changed hands during the show. The Shit Heart ♥ Foundation has finally found success and all it took was for them to beat up two kids and an old man defeat one of the most dominating trios in the history of professional wrestling. The Great Kojika, Mr. #6 & Riho were the fan favourites while the SHF, Michael Nakazawa especially were booed throughout the match. Mr. #6 sacrificed himself to protect Riho from a Nakazawa Lotion Backwash Attack but in the end Tomimitsu Matsunaga put the Great Kojika down for the count with the Tommy Bomber Lariat. The SHF now have 9 physical belts added to their trophy cabinet and some space is left for a certain Openweight title that Hikaru Sato has set his sights on for Osaka.
