The biggest DDT show on the calander has come and gone for another year. Sumo Hall was host to the seventh “PETER PAN” supershow, so called because everybody in DDT are adults who refuse to grow up. However long time followers of the company should notice something odd about the attendence. This was the seventh straight Super No Vacancy Full House for “PETER PAN” but DDT only announced a crowd of 6,670 fans in attendance. That is around 2,000-2,500 less than their previous announced attendances in the building. Even weirder is how the show has been advertised as being sold out for weeks until more seats near the entrance (which was a lot bigger this year) were made available days before the show. Either DDT booked less seats in the building this year or maybe they are being more honest about their crowd numbers. DDT will have two shows in Sumo Hall next year on 21st March and 28th August. It will be interesting to see what they draw for both events. Also this was a really long show. The dark match began at 13:45 local time and ended at around 19:00.

The main event was between two good friends turned rivals. KUDO put the KO-D Openweight Title on the line against Yukio Sakaguchi in the battle of Shuten-dōji. Sakaguchi went into the match with his hair, beard and eyebrows dyed gold for the occassion. The third member of the stable Masa Takanashi spent the match standing at a neutral corner, refusing to pick a side. The match was as kick heavy as expected. Sakaguchi kicked out of the Diving Double Knee Drop while KUDO survived the Cobra Clutch. Sakaguchi ran to the ropes for the Penalty Kick but KUDO met him on the rebound with a Backspin Kick. KUDO went for the Diving Double Knee Drop again but Sakaguchi met him with the Flying Knee Strike followed by the Right Knee Of God in the corner for the three count.

KUDO was stunned by the result but accepted defeat and wrapped the belt around Sakaguchi’s waist. After the two hugged each other Sakaguchi was handed the giant cheque of 2 million yen from Good Com Assets. All of Shuten-dōji agreed to literally split the cheque three ways and share it with each other. Sakaguchi spoke on the mic and said he lived a life well worn. Today he arrived at this wonderful ring after wrestling for three years. He said he achieved his dream ambition of winning the KO-D Title and he did so on the big stage along with his “big brother” KUDO. Sakaguchi said tomorrow will be the beginning of his second chapter and he challenged anyone to take the belt from him. The show ended with all three approaching a shrine placed by the ring entrance. Sakaguchi stood in the shrine and was lifted up by the DDT wrestlers. He was paraded around ringside to celebrate his championship victory before reuniting with KUDO & Takanashi for a toast that involved banging a festival drum and drinking sake.

Hiroshi Tanahashi defeated HARASHIMA in the Dramatic Dream Match between two aces. HARASHIMA had the crowd support in his favour but Tanahashi took control by targeting his opponent’s left knee. The crowd booed but Tanahashi ignored it to focus on the match. However he did take time to play the air guitar while working the knee for more heel heat. HARASHIMA turned the tables when he sent Tanahashi into the turnbuckles with the John Woo Dropkick. Foot Stomps and a Superplex couldn’t put the New Japan superstar away and he regained control with the Dragon Screw followed by a Texas Cloverleaf. HARASHIMA fought back with a High Kick but his Somato attempt was countered into the Sling Blade. HARASHIMA eventually hit the Somato but was in too much pain to get the pin in time. He went for the Swan Dive Somato but Tanahashi avoided it. HARASHIMA hit a stiff punch out of desperation but Tanahashi gave him the Dharma Suplex and won with the the High Fly Flow. After the match HARASHIMA offered to shake hands but Tanahashi refused. Tanahashi recently said in a podcast that he hates shaking hands after a match and he doesn’t understand why some wrestlers do it immediately after a heated fight. Tanahashi vented his frustrations in the post-match interview.

Finally one of the strongest teams in Japan was defeated to bring the KO-D Tag Team Titles back to DDT. The Golden☆Storm Riders beat Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi when Kota Ibushi pinned Sekimoto for the first time in his career. Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki had some help with a trolley at ringside to wheel the champions down the entrance ramp to the ringside floor. Sasaki did a high risk dive off the top rope to a seated Okabayashi at ringside. The champions powered their way into control and German Suplexed Sasaki into oblivion. The Riders came back when Sasaki lifted up Sasaki in the Electric Chair position on the ring apron. Ibushi jumped onto the top rope behind them, grabbed Sekimoto and German Suplexed him into the ring! Sasaki wiped out Okabayashi with a Suicide Dive allowing Ibushi to pin Sekimoto with the Phoenix Splash.

Ken Ohka is the most important part of the Gunma Wrestle Dream Factory, at least according to Super Sasadango Machine’s PowerPoint presentation. The presentations is title “How Ken Ohka is the 6-Man Tag Team Champion” and it contained a secret Sasadango discovered about Ohka. Aparrantly on 8th April, 1977 Ohka’s parents visited Tokyo to watch Antonio Inoki fight Muhammad Ali. That was also the night when Ken Ohka was conceived which means Inoki’s fighting spirit is indirectly tied to Ohka’s genes! Illustrations of Ohka doing Inoki’s grounded leg kicks were shown on the screen. The plan was fot Ohka to cut down Team Drift with the Leg Kicks then shove their faces into Danshoku Dino’s backside. The parasites in Dino’s rear end will fill the victim’s nasal cavity and render him light headed, allowing Sasadango to finish the job. The plan didn’t work as intended. Team Drift weren’t going to lose the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles when they were debuting new outfits. Soma Takao was hit with Ohka’s Leg Kicks, Dino’s Danshoku Driver and then Sasadango’s Vertical Drop Lehmann Shock but he was saved by his partners from getting pinned. Ohka went for the Spear Of Flame but Keisuke Ishii stopped him dead with the Kneel Kick. Takao then hit the Gin And Tonic to score a successful title defence and remain undefeated in “PETER PAN”. After the match Dino, Sasadango & Ohka regrouped and decided on a new permanent unit name. Taking inspiration on Ohka’s growth from young lion to champion they chose the name #OhkaEmpire (#大家帝国). They asked for a title rematch to take place at Korakuen Hall on 27th September but Ishii refused and the champs walked out.

“Thunder Storm” played over the speakers to mark the one time appearance of Genichiro Tenryu in DDT! Saki Akai wore a new all white costume to mark the occasion while Meiko Satomura tried her best to keep Tenryu and Shuji Ishikawa from going at it before the bell. Tenryu punched her in the face. He did it again to counter a Short Range Lariat. Satomura got some measure of revenge with a few Low Kicks. She had a much easier time in the ring with Akai. Tenryu did more of his punches but this time to Kazusada Higuchi. The match broke down with all six fighting in the ring until Sanshiro Takagi slammed Higuchi with the Spiccoli Driver and then joined Tenryu in giving Higuchi a Lariat Sandwich. One Sit Down Himawari Bomb later and it was all over.

Tetsuya Endo is back and Konosuke Takeshita got new wrestling gear to celebrate. They also had a match together. Both men wanted to steal the show and went full blast. Endo was surely trying to make up for lost time. He went for the Sky Twister Press but missed, allowing Takeshita to hit a Lariat and then the German Suplex to win. This was Takeshita’s first win in a “PETER PAN” show as well as in Sumo Hall.

I write up a paragraph about how today could be Antonio Honda’s time in the spotlight. Then Honda picks a wacky stipulation for his DDT Extreme Title defence involving bras, blindfolds and a gigantic claw trap. I really should have seen this coming. Honda wanted a match based on fear and decided a Blindfold Bra Stripping Tiger Trap Death Match was most suitable. Both himself and Masa Takanashi had to wear a blindfold and a bra. Meanwhile a large tiger trap was placed in the ring for them to avoid. The match could be won by usual means or by stripping the opponent of his bra. Late in the match, Honda found a mic and told the audience to give him their bras so he could power up just like how Goku can gather energy from other living beings! Cameraman Norikazu Fujioka answered the call and took his shirt off to reveal his bra. Honda said needed more. Suddenly Michael Nakazawa appears wearing a bra! Nakazawa said he took a flight from Singapore this morning to be at the show and he wants to help his friend Honda. Honda was given the bras and he wrapped them around his fist. He climbed the ropes and delivered the Diving Fist Drop… right into the tiger trap! Takanashi got his hands on Honda and tried to capitalise with the Takatonic but he himself then stepped onto the tiger trap! Honda ripped off Takanashi’s bra and was declared the winner! Takanashi had to drag along the tiger trap stuck to his leg as he walked backstage.

LiLiCo made her official pro wrestling debut despite winning the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title at last year’s “PETER PAN” show. She was in a Tag Team Battle Royal with Suguru Miyatake as her partner and wore an eye-catching black outfit with wings and face paint over her eyes. She & Miyatake were one of the final two teams along with Aja Kong & Makoto Oishi. Kong was holding the Iron Man Title LiLiCo wanted but Kong was too powerful for both her and Miyatake. Kong pinned Miyatake but after the match raised LiLiCo’s hand as a show of respect. LiLiCo snuck behind Kong and School Boyed her to try and win the Iron Man Title but Kong kicked out. Kong angrily told LiLiCo “Welcome to professional wrestling!” and challenged LiLiCo to try and take the belt from her anytime, anyplace.

Mao Inoue & Mizuki Watase both made their debuts in the opening match. Inoue wore black and purple camouflage shorts while Watase’s ring gear was in black and gold. They were put through the grind by Yasu Urano, Akito & Ryota Nakatsu. Akito even dared them to do their best Dropkicks on him. The rookies showed some spirit but Akito put an end to it when he tapped out Watase with the Scorpion Lock.

“Hollywood” Stalker Ichikawa didn’t understand the rules of the King Of Dark Championship and before the match began said he will win the title. Gota Ihashi convinced the ref to do fast counts but it backfired when Ichikawa pinned him and got a fast three count. Afterwards Ichikawa was confused because he wasn’t given the championship for winning the match. Ihashi tried to retire the belt but Amon Tsurumi refused to let it happen. Stalker demanded to have the belt. Tsurumi told him to go back to Kobe.

Kota Ibushi will release his autobiography on 28th October. There will be two versions available: “The Strongest Edition” and “The Most Mad Edition”.

Two guest names were announced for “OSAKA OCTOPUS 2015” on 28th November. Comedians RG and Ryota Yamasato will both wrestle at the show. Yamasato was sitting by the commentary table during the announcement and he was surprised to learn he will be wrestling.

Muscle Sakai will film DDT’s second movie “DDT Liberal Arts Pro Wrestling” later this year. The first movie “DDT Wrestling Cannonball 2014” was released on DVD today and available at the show.

This was already announced back in February but as a reminder DDT will hold two shows in Sumo Hall next year. The dates are 21st March and 28th August. A Falls Count Anywhere Street Wrestling Treasure Hunt match was confirmed for the 21st March show.

9. KO-D Openweight Title – Good Com Asset Presents: KUDO (c) Vs Yukio Sakaguchi

In just a few short days DDT will be in Sumo Hall for the seventh annual “PETER PAN” extravaganza! You’d think the area would be sick of pro wrestling after last week but ticket sales suggest otherwise. The show is almost entirely sold out and DDT had to open up extra seats next to the stage to meet demand. The big stories surrounding the show are a dream match between a once in a lifetime talent and the indie world’s strongest warrior, a battle between two brothers in arms over DDT’s greatest prize, two Storm Riders attempting to take gold from some strong style golems, a trio of lifelong companions getting the band back together in search of glory, a grumpy old sumo’s short stay during his journey to retirement, the return of a future main eventer in the making, a day in the limelight for one of DDT’s longest serving wrestlers and some new blood making their debut.

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi (c) Vs “Hollywood” Stalker Ichikawa

But before we get to all that we have to get through the pre-show. Created back in February, the King Of Dark Title has been an albatross for some of the worst and unluckiest wrestlers in DDT. Those who hold the championship are banished to wrestle in dark matches until they win. Still, it’s more valuable than the King Of The Mountain Title. Gota Ihashi has been the face of the championship for it’s short history, racking up a total of 18 defeats/defences during his two reigns. Ihashi has done everything he could to get rid of the belt but every plan has ended in failure. His embarrassment continues when he goes against one of the most legendary losers in pro wrestling, “Hollywood” Stalker Ichikawa! Ihashi is confident in his ability to win but he should underestimate Stalker at his peril! I’m pretty sure Stalker has won more matches than Ihashi ever did.

1. Mao Inoue & Mizuki Watase Debut Match: Yasu Urano, Akito & Ryota Nakatsu defeated Kota Umeda, Mao Inoue & Mizuki Watase

The opener features the debut of two new wrestlers. Mao Inoue is an 18 year old Youtube wrestler from Miyagi who was scouted by Sanshiro Takagi. Mizuki Watase is a 24 year old comedian from Nagano and is most known for his work in Tenori Tiger. They were both surprised to learn their debut match is taking place so soon in Sumo Hall. They will be placed in the ring with DNA wrestlers Ryota Nakatsu and Kota Umeda as well as veterans Yasu Urano & Akito. Akito’s inclusion here is pretty disappointing to be honest. He was on fire with his DDT Extreme Title run throughout the year. Him in the opening match centred around the rookies is a step down. However DDT has a knack for discovering talented new wrestlers lately. The DNA shows have been proof of that and Nakatsu is one of the stand outs. Akito might be just the guy needed to help break in the rookies.

2. Time Difference Tag Battle Royal: Aja Kong & Makoto Oishi Vs LiLiCo & Suguru Miyatake Vs Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata Vs MIKAMI & Shunma Katsumata Vs Gorgeous Matsuno & Great Kojika Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Hiroshi Fukuda & Yoshihiko Vs Hoshitango & Mio Shirai

Usually the Battle Royal match in these shows are for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. However this year is a little bit different. We’re getting a Tag Team Battle Royal and all of the attention is on the official pro wrestling debut of LiLiCo. The half Swedish, half Japanese celebrity was a guest on last year’s show and she ended up winning the Iron Man Title. This time she’s back to give pro wrestling a proper go. She picked Suguru Miyatake as her partner after he impressed her with his physique. Unfortunately for LiLiCo, the current Iron Man champion Aja Kong demanded to be in the match and is forcing Makoto Oishi to team with her. Kong is setting her sights on LiLiCo and looking to end her wrestling career before it even begins.

The rest of the field is made up of DDT regulars and a few guests. MIKAMI left DDT a few months ago to become a freelancer but he returns to team with the promising rookie Shunma Katsumata. Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Kouki Iwasaki recently formed Pigging 2015 with Gota Ihashi much to the annoyance of everyone else. Gorgeous Matsuno & The Great Kojika are here to be the classy old gentlemen who puts the young whipper-snappers in their place. Kazuki Hirata wants to dance while Toru Owashi has to tolerate him. Hiroshi Fukuda combines his American sports entertainment style with the power of Yoshihiko to form a force of unbelievable strength. Last but not least Hoshitango & Mio Shirai make up the team of random character selects from a custom Fire Pro Wrestling save. Shirai will be retiring on 20th September and said she is happy to be in a crazy DDT battle royal one last time.

3. DDT Extreme Title – Uchikami! Presents: Antonio Honda (c) Vs Masa Takanashi

Antonio Honda has had quite the career in DDT. He’s been a Cuban manager with Tourette’s, an Italian drug lord, a Hawaiian Ricky Steamboat knock off and a kleptomaniac soldier. He introduced Hulk Hogan Gymnastics to the world and just recently had the honour of fighting an invisible Mel Gibson. But the spotlight has never really been on him for long. There was that one night at the end of 2010 when he became the Interim KO-D Openweight Champion but that was short lived. Honda accepts that he is approaching his twilight years in the ring but he’s not giving up just yet. Every dog has his day and Honda could get his inside Sumo Hall. An upset victory over Akito in July earned Honda the DDT Extreme Title. Unfortunately since then his feel good story has been interrupted by Masa Takanashi. Honda lost a few non-title matches to Takanashi, who later became the No. 1 Contender for the Extreme Title.

Takanashi remembers when he fought Danshoku Dino for the Extreme Title at the very first “RYOGOKU PETER PAN” back in 2009. He lost then but he intends to win the belt this time. Honda is keeping the stipulation for the match a secret until the day of the show. All he will say is the match will use fear as a theme and it is inspired by a previous match the two had together. Honda says the rules scare even himself and he must overcome that fear to defend his title.

4. Tetsuya Endo Comeback Match: Konosuke Takeshita Vs Tetsuya Endo

Tetsuya Endo has been out of action for four months when he broke his third metatarsal in his left foot. For his return, Endo will face his Happy Motels tag team partner Konosuke Takeshita in a battle between two of DDT’s future main eventers. Endo is believes this match is as important to him as a championship match and he will treat it as such. He’s been working backstage and at ringside during DDT’s shows while he recovered and has seen in person the improvement in Takeshita’s Dropkick. Takeshita said he will go full force from the beginning and he thinks this match will be fighting against the two main events for the best bout of the show.

5. Genichiro Tenryu Retirement Road Round 15: Genichiro Tenryu, Sanshiro Takagi & Saki Akai Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Kazusada Higuchi & Meiko Satomura

The legendary Genichiro Tenryu will wrestle in DDT for the first and only time this Sunday. This won’t be the weirdest thing he’s ever done in wrestling, that would be dressing up as HG in HUSTLE. Tenryu sent in some words about the other wrestlers in his match. He noted Sanshiro Takagi’s dexterity and how nothing ever worries him. He is quite pleased to team with Saki Akai and knows her father’s history in boxing. Akai is hoping she will inherit Tenryu’s patented Goo Punch. That is a lot better for her than the original idea of Tenryu Vs Akai in a singles match. Tenryu calls Shuji Ishikawa a natural wrestler and acknowledges the physical fitness of his fellow sumo Kazusada Higuchi. Due to their sumo backgrounds Higuchi has a few similar qualities with Tenryu and some of Higuchi’s movements does remind me of Tenryu. Higuchi admits he is nervous to be in the same ring as Tenryu but he wants Tenryu to fight him with all of his body and soul. Meanwhile Akai is preparing for Meiko Satomura and remembers when they fought last November. Satomura submitted her with a Sleeper Hold and she’s been frustrated over the results ever since.

6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao (c) Vs Danshoku Dino, Super Sasadango Machine & Ken Ohka

Last year Team Dream Futures were the challengers, this year they are the champions. Team Drift currently have the most successful KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title run in the belts’ history with three successful defences (it’s a hot potato championship). Facing them is a trio reunited by the power of friendship. Danshoku Dino, Super Sasadango Machine and Ken Ohka consider each other close friends from the same generation of DDT wrestlers. However Ohka has been missing from this group for years. He’s been busy forming a new identity as the leader of Ganbare☆Wrestling. Ohka even did the unthinkable and very briefly became the KO-D Openweight Champion back in June. It took some convincing but Ohka is back in DDT as a new man. Together with Dino & Sasadango they are the Gamba Wrestle Dream Factory.

Happy reunions aside the challengers have a big challenge ahead of them. Team Drift are one of the longest running stables in DDT. Also Soma Takao is still undefeated at “PETER PAN” with a 6-0 record. Tensions flared at the press conference when Keisuke Ishii gave a lot of praise to Dino and Sasadango but gave Ohka a backhanded compliment. Ohka took offence and dared Ishii to slap him. He did. Ohka then dared Takao to slap him. He did. Ohka then dared Shigehiro Irie to hit him. Irie sent him reeling with a headbutt. The challengers left to get Ohka some treatment but he returned and dared Irie to headbutt him again! Irie did so and Ohka was left in tears from the pain.

7. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi (c) Vs Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki

The unfortunately named Strong BJ have been unstoppable in DDT ever since they won the KO-D Tag Team Titles in Saitama Super Arena back in February. It seems like there is no one in DDT capable of beating Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi. Right now it seems like DDT’s last hope of ever reclaiming the belts lie with Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki. However Ibushi is no doubt tired after the G1 Climax and Sasaki has had no luck with trying to beat Okabayashi in the meantime. The flash Hurricanrana Sasaki has used to great effect all year did not work on Big Japan’s golem. He is still confident that himself & Ibushi are the strongest team on Earth and will take down the champs. He gave himself & Ibushi a 65% chance of winning. Okabayashi’s response is he & Sekimoto will crush the challengers with 120% of their strength. While Sasaki and Okabayashi are arguing over percentages, Sekimoto was probably just thinking “Not this shit again” to himself.

8. Dramatic Dream Match: HARASHIMA Vs Hiroshi Tanahashi

It’s not closing out the show but this is the marquee match. The ace of DDT versus the ace of New Japan. Or if you want to be cynical, the John Cena of DDT versus the John Cena of New Japan. Either way “___WinsLOL” can apply to either result. But why be negative about this? We’re going to get a great match. HARASHIMA has been on top of his game this year and if anyone deserves a shot against this year’s G1 winner, it’s him. Hiroshi Tanahashi previously wrestled in DDT at last year’s “PETER PAN” against Konosuke Takeshita. He sent a message to DDT saying HARASHIMA is a refreshing challenger and he expects HARASHIMA to bring his A-game. HARASHIMA called Tanahashi “the most delicious opponent” now that he is coming into the show as the G1 winner.

9. KO-D Openweight Title – Good Com Asset Presents: KUDO (c) Vs Yukio Sakaguchi

The semi-main event has the most attention but the main event is the most dramatic match on this card. To sweeten the deal a 2 million yen cash prize will be awarded to the winner courtesy of the match’s sponsor Good Com Asset. The KO-D Openweight Title is also on the line between two wrestlers who consider each other as brothers. They share a bond over fine liquor but the high tension of main eventing DDT’s biggest show of the year nearly split them apart. KUDO has been champion for most of the summer and did not flinch when Yukio Sakaguchi won the King Of DDT tournament to earn this title shot. However a series of defeats created a rift between the two and KUDO started to question whether or not Sakaguchi deserved to have the title shot. Sakaguchi himself had doubts and at one point even requested to be removed from the match! However fortunes turned around and Sakaguchi found his way back to a winning streak. Sakaguchi regained his confidence and warned KUDO that he was coming for him and the title! Their friendship was still frosty as they fought each other in tag matches up until the end of Beer Garden week. The two were full of mutual respect for each other and fist bumped to signal a recovery of their friendship. With all of the bad blood out now of the way there is nothing stopping them from going all out to prove who is more deserving to be champion. KUDO calls this match a clash of souls and promises to drink the most delicious alcohol in his life when he wins.

6. Special Tag Team Match: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie defeated KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi when Irie pinned Sakaguchi with the Arm Trap Piledriver (15:20).

Cracks are starting to grow within Shuten-dōji over the Sumo Hall main event. KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi lost to Team Dream Futures cleanly when Shigehiro Irie held Sakaguchi in place for Keisuke Ishii’s Kneel Kick. Irie then followed up with the Arm Trap Piledriver for the pinfall. KUDO left ringside on his own leaving Sakaguchi confused. Masa Takanashi is now trying to play peacekeeper by going back and forth between the two. Shuten-dōji and Team Dream Futures will clash again next week for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles.

Two of the Golden☆Storm Riders are getting a KO-D Tag Team Title shot. Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki left nothing to chance when they fought Konosuke Takeshita & Antonio Honda. They attacked Happy Motels during their entrance and placed them in trolleys around ringside. Sasaki pinned Takeshita with his flash Hurricanrana to earn the No. 1 Contendership for his team. The champions Strong BJ were in attendance and confronted their challengers after the match. Daisuke Sekimoto told Ibushi he was ready for him. Yuji Okabayashi said he was ready for a great struggle between two wrestlers born in 1982 (himself and Ibushi). Ibushi said it will be a good match and he has a strong partner. Sasaki called himself and Ibushi the strongest tag team on the planet.

The DDT Extreme Title was on the line in a Treasure Hunt Bull Rope match. Akito and Masa Takanashi were attached to each other with a rope while the title belt was placed in one of four bags. After every fall the winner chose a bag, if it contained the belt then the match would end. However the other bags were filled with dummy belts with extra rules written on them that had to be applied for the rest of the match. Akito used the ropes to great effect and won the first fall with a modified Scorpion Deathlock. However the bag he picked contained the rule that made grappling illegal. Akito was unable to use his submission hold but was able to pin Takanashi to win the second fall. This time the bag he found contained the Tequila Drink rules. Both wrestlers had to drink tequila after every kickout. Takanashi was delighted. After a few shots Akito again used the rope to his advantage by hooking it over the top ring rope and holding himself down as countered a Sunset Flip into a pin. Third time was the charm and Akito picked the bag with the real belt to win! A dizzy Akito pleaded for the drinks of tequila to stop.

In a rematch of their Saitama Super Arena main event, HARASHIMA got his revenge and the KO-D Openweight Title back from Kota Ibushi in front of a packed house at Korakuen Hall. Neither men held anything back. Ibushi hit the Phoenix Splash for a nearfall. HARASHIMA pulled out the Firebird Splash, a move he hasn’t used in years for a nearfall of his own. The match went dangerously close to ending the same way as Saitama when Ibushi stopped HARASHIMA from doing the Swan Dive Somato and held him in position for the Phoenix Plex. This time around HARASHIMA avoided the ultra finisher by Headbutting Ibushi until the champion lost his grip. HARASHIMA then lifted Ibushi up for a Canadian Backbreaker and dropped him vertically into a Facebuster. With Ibushi taken out by this new move, HARASHIMA hit the Swan Dive Somato to seal the deal. With a gleaming smile HARASHIMA graciously accepted a bowing handshake from Ibushi. The former champion could only say “Thank you” before he was helped to the back by his Golden☆Storm Rider team mates. HARASHIMA said he was insanely happy to be champion again and he called Ibushi the best and the strongest.

Kazusada Higuchi came out to announce the possible KO-D Title match between himself and HARASHIMA at Sapporo Teisen Hall on 24th May. Higuchi said he didn’t see the match but still he thought it was really terrible. HARASHIMA called Higuchi an awesome threat for a rookie and wished him luck. KUDO then came out and said he will get his KO-D Title shot at Korakuen on 31st May. HARASHIMA noted how tough it will be to have two title defences in two weeks but he’s up for the challenge. Why? Because he trains!

Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi saw off the challenge from Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie to keep the KO-D Tag Team Titles around their waists. Ishii showed great strength when he gave Sekimoto the High Angle Double Arm DDT but Okabayashi stopped the pin. Sekimoto ducked the Kneel Kick and deadlifted Ishii into a Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Ishii kicked out at 2 but was finished after a Lariat and the Deadlift German Suplex. The champions identified Drift as a great tag team in a backstage interview and credited them for being prepared and for having a strong bond. Okabayashi wants to defend the titles more and more until they beat everyone in DDT.

The remaining Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract was up for grabs in another Royal Rumble Ladder match. Two other contracts were on the line since the wrestlers holding them were in the match. Those two contracts did in fact change hands. Daisuke Sasaki pinned Yasu Urano to win his contract and DJ Nira pinned Saki Akai to win hers, ruining her chance to cash in later in the night. DJ Nira eliminated himself to prevent getting pinned by jumping out of the ring. Sasaki tried the same but the remaining wrestlers stopped him. Sasaki convinced his team mate Suguru Miyatake that he wanted no further part in the match and he would let Miyatake grab the last contract. Miyatake climbed the ladder and Sasaki knocked it over, knocking Miyatake onto the ropes. Sasaki then repositioned the ladder and climbed it to pull down the prize. He now has two contracts in his possession.

Another Right To Challenge Contract changed hands when KUDO pinned Antonio Honda in a tag match. All of Shuten-dōji celebrated with a toast in the ring.

Who was the mystery partner for the YaroZ team? It was “Mr. Policeman” Takayuki Ueki and he’s here to arrest the BOYZ team! Ueki pulled out a gun late into the match but Kazuki Hirata was quick to disarm him. Brother Tommy accidentaly broke the HIRATA GO glasses but Ueki came to the rescue with glasses for everbody! “TOKYO GO” played over the speakers and everyone decided to dance. As that went on Sanshiro Takagi pinned Hirata with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb.

Today is the one year anniversary of Shunma Katsumata’s debut match. Yukio Sakaguchi didn’t care and knocked out the rookie with some High Kicks.

After the dark match Gota Ihashi stormed out and complained about not being booked on this show. He demanded a match and to put his King Of Dark Title on the line so he can finally escape from dark match hell. Kazusada Higuchi accepted the match despite having just wrestled. Ihashi hit him with the title belt but then ran into a Big Boot. Higuchi then pinned him with the Goten.

Danshoku Dino’s Buddhist pilgrimmage will lead him towards a very spiritual wrestler. On 17th May Dino will take on Jinsei Shinzaki! Dino is now in deep meditation and was silent for his entire post-match interview. Also on the show Akito defends the DDT Extreme Title against Shigehiro Irie in a Last Man Standing match.

Masa Takanashi has decided to cash in his Right To Host Box Office contract. With this contract the holder can book his own show. Takanashi decided he will share the prize with KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi and so on 22nd July there will be a Shuten-dōji produced event at Shinjuku FACE.

– Special Dark Match: Yasu Urano defeated Daisuke Kiso and DJ Nira by Neon Genesis Evangelion Gainax Ending (7:37).
4. Daisuke Sekimoto, Ryuichi Sekine & Antonio Honda defeated Kenny Omega, Daisuke Sasaki & Gota Ihashi when Sekimoto pinned Ihashi with the Deadlift German Suplex (19:51).

The main event was created when each of the active Golden Storm Riders chose which wrestlers they wanted to fight against. Gota Ihashi picked Ryuichi Sekine, Daisuke Sasaki picked Antonio Honda and Kenny Omega picked Daisuke Sekimoto. Their choices were to make sure they would be working hard. Depsite taking the pinfall and losing the match, Ihashi was praised by Omega for putting up a good fight. Ihashi even said he wanted to have a singles match with Sekimoto someday. The show ended with Sekimoto raising a toast to DDT and pro wrestling.

The delightful Hikaru Shida was there to team with Tomomitsu Matsunaga against Kenny & Michael Nakazawa. Shida’s butt word for today was “Beer” and Matsunaga joined in by having the word “Garden” scribbled on his backside. Kenny was happy to team with Nakazawa again and Nakazawa was happy to get physical with Shida. Nakazawa asked if lotion could be used in the match. Shida agreed but only if it meant she was allowed to use her bamboo sword as a weapon. Nakazawa agreed “because I use anything.” Omega and Matsunaga covered themselves in lotion and then slapped each other over and over. Everyone was eventually covered in oil and Shida used her sword to great effect. She and Matsunaga chased off Omega and found a bat to shove up Nakazawa’s backside. Omega returned armed with a lightsaber while wearing a Darth Vader helmet. Omega and Matsunaga had a lightsaber duel until Kenny said he was Matsunaga’s father. Omega wounded Matsunaga with the lightsaber and Nakazawa applied the HVS for the victory. After the match Kenny, Nakazawa and Matsunaga all began to sing the Frozen song “Let It Go” but Shida grabbed the mic from them. Kenny offered a handshake and then tried to hug Shida only to get blasted in the face with the bamboo sword.

All of the Ladder Match contenders were very thirsty so the obvious prize to hang above the ring was a can of beer inside a bucket. Hiroshi Fukuda lost a tooth in the match but won the beer.

Gota Ihashi had a rough day. Before he even had to think about the main event he had to go through a series of boxing style matches. First up was Boxing Vs Kickboxing against FUMA. Ihashi was knocked out with a High Kick. Next up was a Lucha Libre rules boxing bout against Tetsuya Endo. This was more of a wrestling match but both men still had to wear boxing gloves. Endo countered La Magistral Cradle to give Ihashi two losses in a row. Finally there was a Dance Boxing bout against Kazuki Hirata. Ihashi danced with Hirata for a bit but then pinned him with a School Boy. Kota Ibushi was there to watch over the match and when Yukio Sakaguchi suddenly appeared at ringside, Ibushi allowed him to fight Ihashi in a Vale Tudo match. Sakaguchi pretty much killed Ihashi with punches and kicks. Even though FUMA threw in the towel, Ibushi thought Ihashi still had a chance and let the fight continue. Sakaguchi beat the crap out of Ihashi even more to the point where the ref wanted to stop it but Ibushi was still convinced Ihashi had a chance. Finally Ibushi called for the end and awarded the fight to Sakaguchi. Ibushi said he was satisfied and assured the crowd Ihashi was all right.

There were two bonus matches on the show. One was planned by Sasaki and it was a Falls Count Anywhere bout between DJ Nira and Daisuke Kiso. Nira was placed in submission after submission. Yukinori Matsui was pulled out of the ring right before Nira submitted. Nira called Kiso a bully but also said if Kiso just went for the pin, he would let him win. Kiso did what Nira asked him and counted to three. However, the bell never rang and there was no announcement. Instead a bunch of people circled round Kiso and told him “Congratulations!” one after the other. Nira then attacked Kiso and dragged him under the ring. Matsui recovered, looked under the ring and decided that Yasu Urano was the winner because he was the only wrestler visible at ringside.

Kenny’s bonus match took place at the beginning of the show. When he said that he was suddenly greeted by a new masked gaijin wrestler who goes by the name Super Strong Sasadango Scorpion Machine Jr. Kenny decided the newcomer would face Shunma Katsumata. Machine beat him and offered a handshake afterwards but Katsumata rejected it.
