DDT celebrates the start of 2014 with an idea that killed the AWA, a team challenge series. DDT has been doing their own version in Korakuen Hall as their annual kick off show for the year. HARASHIMA and Danshoku Dino were the team captains this time but they did not face each other until the bonus main event. The HARASHIMA Army looked to have the contest won by 90 points when it was announced one last match was to happen with 300 points on the line. That match was a 30-Man Tag Team free for all, another annual tradition for the January kickoff show. Any chances for a heroic comeback by Team Dino were dashed when HARASHIMA himself scored the pin on Kazuki Hirata. Amon Tsurumi came out to give the big prize to every member of the HARASHIMA Army and it turned out to be… 100 yen for each wrestler on the team. Tsurumi complained that the prize money was his own cash and the total pot was half a month’s worth of his pocket money.

Sanshiro Takagi announced that starting from April DDT will have regular programming on Teletama, a terrestrial TV station based in Saitama. Takagi says DDT is building their base in Saitama to prepare their big plans for a show inside the Saitama Super Arena. Meanwhile the big annual “PETER PAN” event will take place on 17th August this year. It was announced without any mention of where it will take place. Could it be at the Saitama Super Arena this year?

HARASHIMA successfully defended his DDT Extreme Title against Super Sasadango Machine in a New Year Wrestling Card Death Match. The match involved a deck of cards, each card would have a wrestling move written on it. Every time a card was pulled and read out, the first wrestler who did the called move would earn a point. The match would end either by somebody getting 7 points or if somebody won the match by normal means. Some of the moves called out included Yoshiaki Yago’s Cobra Twist, Danshoku Dino’s Danshoku Nightmare and Satoshi Kojima’s “Bakayaro!” Machine Gun Chops. One of the cards even called for slow motion wrestling with “Etupirika” by Taro Hakase playing in the background. In the end the extra rules weren’t needed as HARASHIMA pinned Sasadango with the Somato.

The semi-main was a 10-Man Tag Team Elimination match. Danshoku Dino was in action teaming with Team Dream Futures and the returning Yoshihiko. The Golden Rendesvouz, Tetsuya Endo and Akito were their opponents representing the HARASHIMA Army. The crowd were excited to see Yoshihiko and Kota Ibushi face off again and they didn’t disappoint with some crazy exchanges. The two were eventually eliminated at the same time when Yoshihiko performed a Reverse Huracanrana on Ibushi from the second rope to the outside of the ring! The match eventually came down to Dino and Endo as the final two. Endo did everything he could against the veteren, even hitting the Phoenix Splash for a nearfall. Dino found his opening and pinned Endo with the Gay-do Clutch to win it for his team.

Sanshiro Takagi and Michael Nakazawa faced off in a Weapons Rumble in a match Nakazawa demanded after he refused to sign a new contract with DDT. If he won the match, he would sign the contract. There was a castle of chairs already set up in the ring and then a bicycle was brought down. Takagi ran down Nakazawa with a Lariat but accidentaly cycled into the chairs. More weapons were introduced until Nonoko from Tokyo Women’s Wrestling was introduced into the match to help Takagi. One more weapon was left to enter and Nakazawa said it was the weapon Takagi hates the most. “Kaze Ni Nare” played over the speakers and out came Minoru Suzuki! Suzuki gave Takagi the Gotch-Style Piledriver and a groggy Nakazawa crawled on top to pin him. Nakazawa celebrated his first win in 2014 and asked Suzuki if he could coach him. Suzuki tried to back out of it by saying he’s busy but Nakazawa asked him about wrestling at “PETER PAN” again. When they told Suzuki the date he said the G1 Climax is happening during that time but he was eventually convinced to do it.

Away from the ring, a series of Achievement Tests took place before the show. Saki Akai (the only person in the entire challenge who did not wrestle on the show), Tetsuya Endo & Guanchulo competed for HARASHIMA while Team Drift played for Dino. They all had to take three exams based on the subjects language, English and social. Tetsuya Endo scored highest with 175 points while Akai scored the lowest with a measly 57 points. They and Guanchulo still scored enough points to win the contest for HARASHIMA. Danshoku Dino complained afterwards because the exams were worth more points than any of the wrestling matches.

Kazuki Hirata now does the Emerald Frosion. Don’t know why that surprises me but it does.

Gorgeous Matsuno gave a New Year speech to the audience while his match was going on behind him.

Makoto Oishi & Saki Akai Vs Toru Owashi and Yoshiko from Stardom will take place at the next Korakuen show on 26th January.

A promotional gimmick for today’s show was every ticket for the event was priced at 2,000 yen. During the end of show speech, HARASHIMA said DDT will do the gimmick again next year. Amon Tsurumi cut in and said they weren’t going to make a profit that way. Sanshiro Takagi admitted he was going to secretly increase the price to 3,000 yen next year but was caught. This joke is in reference to a controversial 500 yen price increase for DDT tickets that will come into effect starting this April.

DDT “ROAD TO 2020 TOKYO OMORI ~ UTAN FESTA 2013” Results

October 27, 2013

utan-omori

DDT “ROAD TO 2020 TOKYO OMORI ~ UTAN FESTA 2013”, 27/10/2013
Tokyo JR Omori Station
1,027 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Shigehiro Irie, Keisuke Ishii & Soma Takao defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga, Gota Ihashi & Akito when Irie pinned Ihashi with the Flying Sausage (9:52).
2. Tokyo Women’s Wrestling Offer Match: Chikage Kiba & KANNA defeated Miyu Yamashita & Shoko Nakajima when Kiba submitted Nakajima with the Cross Kneebar (6:22).
3. Next Omori Title Challenger Battle Royal: Gurukun Mask defeated Ji Utan with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (9:12).
Other Competitors: MIKAMI, KUDO, Michael Nakazawa and Yukio Sakaguchi.
4. Tetsuya Endo Comeback Match: Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega defeated Kazuki Hirata & Tetsuya Endo when Omega submitted Endo with a Reverse Cross Armbreaker (15:35).
5. Omori World Title: Danshoku Dino (c) defeated Hoshitango with the Gay-do Clutch (7:33).
*V5 for Danshoku Dino.
6. Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki defeated HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano when Honda pinned Urano with the Diving Fist Drop (17:26).

It was Title Vs Argentinian Pride over in Omori today. Danshoku Dino had his annual Omori World Title defence against the winner of last year’s Battle Royal, Hoshitango. Dino declared that a victory over his opponent would mean Argentina would become a gay country. Dino went on to beat Hoshitango. He then wondered if he could turn Omori into a gay town. Gurukun Mask came out to defend his town as the No. 1 Contender for the championship. Dino rendered him helpless with a Lip Lock, dropped him with the Danshoku Driver and then tried to undress him before he escaped.

Makoto Oishi was absent from the show for unknown reasons. He was replaced by the mysterious Ji Utan in the Battle Royal. Utan, who wrestled just like Oishi, made it all the way to the final two but fell to the hometown hero Gurukun Mask. The winner now has to wait a year until DDT returns to Tokyo JR Omori Station so he can challenge for the Omori World Title.

Keisuke Ishii and Shigehiro Irie wrestled in Omori just hours before they travelled to Sumo Hall for today’s All Japan show. Unfortunately for them, they failed to win the All Asia Tag Team Titles from Kotaro Suzuki & Atsushi Aoki.

A wrestling music quiz for the crowd took place during intermission. When “Grand Sword” played over the speakers there was a loud “Kobashi” chant.

DDT48 General Election Ranking In Parentheses

0. Dark Match – 2 Vs 1 Handicap Match: Yukio Sakaguchi (#23) Vs Michael Nakazawa (#14) & DJ Nira (#25)
1. 3 Way Match: Cherry (#10) Vs KUDO (#14) Vs MIKAMI (#15)

5. Kota Ibushi (#3) & Kenny Omega (#8) Vs Hikaru Sato (#5) & Akito (#17)
6. DDT Extreme Title: Antonio Honda (c) (#19) Vs Super Sasadango Machine (9th)
7. KO-D Openweight Title & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title: HARASHIMA (c) (#4) Vs Danshoku Dino (c) (#1)

The entire reason the DDT48 General Election exists finally pays off with this show on Sunday. Everyone on the card was voted in by the results of the election.

The main event is now a double title match. Danshoku Dino won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from KUDO in Sapporo last week. He promises to defeat HARASHIMA so he can hold both the KO-D Openweight Title and Iron Man Title at the same time. The last time both titles were defended in the same match was Kota Ibushi Vs Yoshihiko in 2009, one week shy of it being exactly four years ago. Ibushi won that match but Yoshihiko won back the Iron Man Title almost immediately afterwards. So yeah, don’t be surprised if something like that happens again.

The stipulations for the DDT Extreme Title match between Antonio Honda and the instantly popular Super Sasadango Machine will be announced during the show.

27. Toru Owashi (51 votes)
– Mitomi Masayuki (51 votes)
29. Shuji Ishikawa (45 votes)

Total Votes Cast: 5,728 votes

Danshoku Dino wins the DDT48 General Election and becomes the first two time winner of the competition, his previous victory being the very first election in 2010. This was the closest result yet with Dino winning by just 9 votes. As the winner, Dino receives a KO-D Openweight Title shot against HARASHIMA in Korakuen Hall and also a ¥1,000,000 cash prize, which funnily enough is exactly what he won four years ago.

The top 20 fills up the main card at the 20/10 Korakuen show while spots 21-24 will compete in a dark match. Shigehiro Irie and Daisuke Sasaki tied together in 20th place so they both qualify for the main card. This opened up a dark match spot for the person who finished 25th. That person is DJ Nira, who just beat out Yoshihiko by a single vote! On the other end of the single vote spectrum, Mio Shirai must be feeling a little salty by missing out of the main card by one vote.

Isami Kodaka was this year’s dark horse by finishing in second place and coming so close to Dino. He may wind up like Hikaru Sato and receive good fortune for his performance. Sato benefited from strong showings in the first two elections, winning the second one and eventually winning the KO-D Title because of it. Kodaka is in a similar spot as a long time member of the Union roster who recently became the face of the promotion.

Maybe the biggest surprise is Super Sasadango Machine finishing 9th. The Niigata wrestler has only wrestled twice in DDT this year. Maybe the fans really like sasa dango food. Or maybe he reminds them of Muscle Sakai. Who knows?

465 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Akito defeated Kazuki Hirata with a Modified Body Lift (7:54).
2. Toru Owashi & MIKAMI defeated DJ Nira & Michael Nakazawa with a Double Pin (0:05).
2a. Toru Owashi & MIKAMI defeated DJ Nira & Michael Nakazawa when Owashi pinned Nakazawa with a Genki Ball Choke Slam (10:04).
3. Masa Takanashi defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga with a Samson Clutch Counter (10:34).

6. Yasu Urano & FUMA defeated KUDO & Makoto Oishi when Urano pinned Oishi with the Modern Times (10:44).
7. DDT Extreme Title – 3 Way 3 Round Match: Antonio Honda defeated Danshoku Dino (c) and Kenny Omega (2-1-1).
7a. Over The Top Rope Match: Kenny Omega defeated Danshoku Dino & Antonio Honda (5:00).
7b. Silent Match: Antonio Honda defeated Danshoku Dino & Kenny Omega (4:45).
7c. Kiss My Cock Match: Danshoku Dino defeated Kenny Omega & Antonio Honda (4:45).
7d. Sudden Death Kiss My Ass Match: Antonio Honda defeated Danshoku Dino & Kenny Omega when Honda pinned Dino with a Roll Up (3:11).
*Danshoku Dino fails in V2. Antonio Honda becomes the 23rd DDT Extreme Champion!

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

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

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

September 8, 2013

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1. 4 Way Match: MIKAMI defeated Hikaru Sato, Masa Takanashi and Tomomitsu Matsunaga when MIKAMI pinned Matsunaga with a School Boy (5:46).
2. Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi defeated Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Ihashi pinned Hirata after Ibushi Power Bombed Ihashi onto Hirata (10:52).
3. Konosuke Takeshita defeated DJ Nira with the Touchdown (9:03).
4. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma defeated Yukio Sakaguchi, Makoto Oishi & Akito when Soma pinned Oishi with the Gin & Tonic (10:41).
5. HARASHIMA, KUDO & Yasu Urano defeated Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki & Hoshitango when Urano pinned Hoshitango with a Cradle (14:29).
6. DDT Extreme Title – T-back Table Match: Danshoku Dino defeated Kenny Omega (c) with the Fighto Nipatsu off the T-back into a table (21:46).
*Kenny Omega fails in V5. Danshoku Dino becomes the 23rd DDT Extreme Champion!

Danshoku Dino is the new DDT Extreme Champion! Dino defeated Kenny Omega in a T-back Table match to win the belt. The rules of the T-back Table match is a table had to be set up on one of the corner posts and the match could only be won when someone was thrown off the “T-back” into another table. Both men fought down to their rainbow thongs and Kenny had his forehead busted open when he Moonsaulted off of the T-back on Dino and a bunch of chairs in the audience. The finish came when both men were atop the T-back. Dino tried to do the Danshoku Driver but Kenny resisted. Dino then gave him a Lip Lock and dry humped him off the T-back onto a table below to win. Kenny accepted defeat and handed the belt over to Dino. The new champion said the Extreme Title is dyed in the colour of champions and he will show that it is a major title in DDT. He then called out Antonio Honda, who will be the first challenger in Hakata on 8th September.

Tsurumi Amon told HARASHIMA that two people approached him for the 29/9 KO-D Title shot. The first person was Kazuki Hirata, who Amon dismissed immediately. The other was surprisingly Yasu Urano, HARASHIMA’s stablemate. Urano told HARASHIMA he was envious of HARASHIMA for main eventing Sumo Hall and he wanted to face him at the next big stage, Korakuen Hall. HARASHIMA would never decline a request from a friend and accepted Urano’s challenge.

Takao Soma is picking up wins with his new Gin & Tonic (Axe Guillotine Driver/Jig ‘N’ Tonic) finisher as he and Keisuke Ishii approach their KO-D Tag Team Title match against Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto next month. Soma mocked the champions goal of winning 100 title defences and said when Drift win the titles, they will defend it 105 times.

Kota Ibushi and Gota Ihashi asked Toru Owashi to team with them and challenge for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles in Korakuen next month. They also want the match to be Falls Count Anywhere.

It’s that time again when DDT takes over Sumo Hall and puts on its biggest show of the year. This time however DDT will be holding two shows on back-to-back days. First up is “PROGRESS AND HARMONY OF WRESTLING”. This event will be more sports entertainment than usual for DDT. Those looking forward to title matches or anything that will contain significant progress for DDT’s storylines are probably better off waiting for the second show. This here is more like a variety show with the amount of celebrity guests showing up to get involved. That’s not to say there will not be any matches to look forward to of course.

0. Dark Match – Tokyo Women’s Wrestling Offer Match: Miyu Yamashita & Shoko Nakajima Vs Chikage Kiba & KANNA

Formed in June 2012, Tokyo Women’s Wrestling was created by DDT to bring in a new generation of girls into joshi wrestling. The project skid off track when its first and only trainee at the time NOZOMI quit the promotion after her brother Takashi Dai was forced into retirement due to spinal injuries suffered in his debut match. It wasn’t until November when the project emerged again with three brand new rookies Miyu Yamashita, KANNA and Chikage Kiba. They were soon joined by Shoko Nakajima and together the four spent all of this year competing in exhibition matches inside a tiny Akihabra concert hall. Now the time has come for the four girls to make their official pro wrestling debut.

0. Dark Match: Gota Ihashi & SAGAT Vs Mitomi Masayuki & Tatsuhiko Yoshino

The unsuccessful Kota Ibushi cloning experiment finally made some improvements this year. Gota Ihashi found some winning form as part of the Golden Rendezvous, winning the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. SAGAT is an indy wrestler who often competed in Union’s dark matches until Choun-Shiryu force fed him a potion that turned him into a Chinese Vampire. Now he spends his time hopping on the spot and looking like a male Hsien-Ko from Darkstalkers. Mitomi Masayuki is Union’s newest signed wrestler and has a cult following from his student wrestling days. Unfortunately his Union debut was delayed for a long time after he was injured in a car crash and it was only last month when he was finally able to wrestle. Tatsuhiko Yoshino is from Guts World. That’s everything I know about him… Ta da!

1. All Night Nippon GOLD Personality Battle Royal: Sanshiro Takagi Vs Nori da Funky Shibire-sasu Vs Hikaru Sato Vs Toru Owashi Vs Gorgeous Matsuno Vs DJ Nira Vs Emi Sakura Vs GAMI Vs Honey Jiro Vs Guanchulo

The show starts proper with a Battle Royal sponsored by the All Night Nippon radio show. The usual gang of misfits you would expect in a DDT Battle Royal are here along with former TKG48 member Nori da Funky Shibire-sasu, Gatoh Move founder Emi Sakura, Pro Wrestling WAVE founder GAMI, Chilean Dick Togo student Guanchulo and comedian/part time wrestler/lucky bastard who once dated Sora Aoi, Honey Jiro.

2. Wrestling Style Vs Van: Hiroshi Fukuda (DPG) Vs Pour Lui (BiS) (w/ Jun Kasai)

Hiroshi Fukuda recently took an unexpected career change by forming his own music group with a bunch of friends (and Antonio Honda) where they dress up as super heroes. After the DPG (Dramatic Perfect Group) launched their debut video, Fukuda picked a fight with Pour Lui, the leader of a girl group called BiS (Brand-New Idol Society). So a match was made and Lui was given a wrestler to be in her corner to make things even. That wrestler is Jun Kasai.

3. Ultra Seven x DDT Collaboration Match: Yoshihiro Takayama & MIKAMI Vs Michael Nakazawa & Tomomitsu Matsunaga

Yoshihiro Takayama & MIKAMI join forces due to their love of Ultraman. Nothing more needs to be said.

4. DRESSCAMP PRESENTS: Kenny Omega Vs Konosuke Takeshita

We’re getting a little fancy with this one. DRESSCAMP is a fashion brand and they are providing some glamour to go along with Kenny Omega versus Konosuke Takeshita. Japanese-Swedish celebrity LiLiCo is the special guest ring announcer while models Saki Akai (who makes her pro wrestling debut the next day) and Ayumi Goto will also appear. The match itself looks promising. Takeshita has had a heck of a rookie year while Omega has been really strong with a KO-D Openweight and DDT Extreme Title run throughout the first half of the year.

5. Idol Lumberjack 4 Way Match: Makoto Oishi (Sizukaze & Kizuna ～KIZUNA～) Vs Yuko Miyamoto (LinQ) Vs Isami Kodaka (Up Up Girls) Vs Sanshiro Takagi (Eri Nitta)

Wrestling match or a Japanese take on the TV show X-Factor? You decide. What we have here is a Lumberjack match. The roles of the lumberjacks have been given to a bunch of different music idols, each one represented by one of the wrestlers competing inside the ring. The idols are allowed to attack any wrestler who leaves the ring. However none of the wrestlers are allowed to touch any of the idols or else they will be immediately disqualified.

6. Monster Army Vs Sakaguchi Home: Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki, Yuji Hino & Hoshitango (w/ Tetsu Watanabe) Vs Yukio Sakaguchi, Masa Takanashi, Akito & Kazuki Hirata (w/ Kenji Sakaguchi)

The Monster Army never learns. Last year Antonio Honda went on a stealing spree, robbing the DDT locker room of their gear and selling it online. The problem got so bad Sanshiro Takagi had to call in Hiroyoshi Tenzan and Satoshi Kojima to arrest them. Unfortunately only half a year passed until Honda and Daisuke Sasaki began stealing gear again. The line they crossed this time was when they stole the ring robe of Seiji Sakaguchi, Yukio Sakaguchi’s father. Speaking of fathers, Antonio Honda then revealed that his father Tetsu Watanabe is the Monster Army Marshall who ordered them to steal it! In response Yukio and his famous brother Kenji Sakaguchi planned to bring together a crack team of fighters to go to war with the Monster Army and win back the robe. Unfortunately, Jushin Liger thinks Yukio is a dick and he knows pretty much everybody in the industry so that probably stopped any hope of the plan from happening. So Yukio has to rely on DDT’s local crew Masa Takanashi, Akito and Kazuki Hirata instead.

7. Special 6-Man Tag Team Match: Shigehiro Irie, Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma Vs HARASHIMA, KUDO & Yasu Urano

Team Dream Futures and Ura-Shima-Kudo have had plenty of 6-Man Tag Team matches together since both units were formed. What makes this one different is Shigehiro Irie will have his entrance song “Tachimukau” performed live by Kenji Ohtsuki. Also Irie will be in the ring with HARASHIMA the night before they main event Sumo Hall in the KO-D Openweight Title match.

8. The Main Event: Danshoku Dino Vs Kota Ibushi

The final match is a fitting main event between DDT’s two most loved wrestlers. Kota Ibushi and Danshoku Dino face each other for the first time since December 2010. They have had eight singles matches together in their careers (more like six, one was a backstage Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title change and the other was a wrestling match disguised as a figure dancing performance). While Ibushi is the favourite to win, Dino has had his number many times. Dino knows the Gedo Gay-do Clutch and that move has been Ibushi’s Achilles heel in the past. Ibushi also has bigger things to worry about the next day. If he can beat Dino and his eternal lust for anything male, then he can clear his head for The Rainmaker.

DDT X Stardom Street Assault

February 12, 2013

DDT “HANAYASHIKI STREET WRESTLING”, 27/03/2013
Tokyo Asakusa Hanayashiki

4 Way Mixed Tag Team Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Yuzuki Aikawa Vs Danshoku Dino & Yoshiko Vs Kota Ibushi & Jaiko Ishikawa Vs Michael Nakazawa & Miho Wakizawa

DDT and Stardom join together to check off one final achievement from Yuzuki Aikawa’s wrestling bucket list before she retires in April. The one thing left that Yuzuki wants to do is to take part in DDT’s famed street wrestling matches. Sanshiro Takagi, who has probably been Yuzuki’s biggest fan throughout her bouncy career has granted her wish and set up the match to take place in Japan’s oldest amusement park, the Asakusa Hanayahiki in Tokyo.

It was originally supposed to be only two teams taking part in the match. Takagi and Aikawa will look for revenge on Danshoku Dino & Yoshiko for losing to them at “SWEET DREAMS!” last month. Kota Ibushi then showed up upset that nobody told him about DDT doing another street wrestling match. He added himself into the match but was told he needed to have a female tag team partner. Yoshiko was furious that she has to team with Dino again instead of her darling Ibushi and opted to join his team. She thinks she can win his heart by wrestling in the street just like he does. Dino cockblocked her and told Ibushi to find someone else. Ibushi did just that and announced Jaiko Ishikawa (Shuji Ishikawa’s… identical twin sister?) as his partner. Takagi joked that the two have to be dating each other.

So it looked like a 3 Way Tag was set when Michael Nakazawa made his presence felt. He too wanted to be in the match and he called over Stardom wrestler Miho Wakizawa to be his tag partner. He then taught her how to do the Ultimate Venom Arm and they formed a Venom Arm Connecion to signify their new team.
