DDT “DDT LIVE! MAJI MANJI #20”, 10/10/2018
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
220 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

0. NO TV Match: Keisuke Ishii & Yumehito Imanari defeated Mad Paulie & Nobuhiro Shimatani when Ishii submitted Shimatani with a Body Strangle Reverse Full Nelson (7:55).
0. NO TV Match: Jason Kincaid & Michael Wolf defeated Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Iino when Kincaid pinned Iino with the Philosopher’s Stomp (8:46).
1. Shigehiro Irie defeated Mizuki Watase with the Clothesline From Close To His Heart (8:26).
2. Super Sasadango Machine defeated Sanshiro Takagi with the Vertical Drop Lehmann Shock (3:58).
3. MAO, Mike Bailey, Ethan Page & Priscilla Kelly defeated Jun Kasai, Akito, Masahiro Takanashi & Saki Akai when MAO pinned Takanashi after the Michinoku Tornado Driver (11:24).
4. Mote Mote Army Vs Not Mote Army All Out Fight!: Kazusada Higuchi, Antonio Honda & Shigehiro Irie defeated Makoto Oishi, Yuki Ueno & Konosuke Takeshita when Irie pinned Ueno with the YaroZ Bomber (10:35).
5. Special Single Match: HARASHIMA defeated Keisuke Okuda with the Somato (9:41).
6. Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Tetsuya Endo defeated Danshoku Dieno, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Sasaki submitted Dieno with La Mistica Cross Facelock (12:56).

Momentum has swung back in Daisuke Sasaki’s favour but it took some creative thinking to win today’s mind game against Danshoku Dieno. When Dieno put him in a Lip Lock, Sasaki pulled down his pants to reveal he was wearing fishnet tights underneath! This distracted Dieno enough for Sasaki to take control and tap out the KO-D Openweight Champion with the Cross Facelock. Sasaki told Dieno after the match that he has gone to the other side of Danshoku today and is now unbeatable! He is now sure he will win the KO-D Title at Sumo Hall. Dieno admits that Sasaki now has what it takes to go the extra mile. Dieno will activate all of his power to stand in Sasaki’s way and crush him! Sasaki ended the show by reminding everyone that DAMNATION still have the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles and the group will all leave Sumo Hall with championships.

Keisuke Okuda didn’t come alone for his match with HARASHIMA. He had HARASHIMA’s next DDT Extreme Title challenger Shinya Aoki backing him up in his corner. There was no foul play and HARASHIMA defeated Okuda with the Somato. Afterwards Aoki scorned Okuda for not having a good match, as usual. Okuda said he knows DDT is the place to be and he will scratch it.

After Okuda left, Aoki asked HARASHIMA what the rules for their Extreme Title match will be. HARASHIMA invited Gouma Ryu, the wrestling lawyer from BASARA, into the ring. Ryu explained that the rules of pro wrestling can be ambiguous. He’d like to meet with Aoki to discuss the exact rules of the match from the number of strikes allowed to how many seconds of illegal behaviour will be accepted before a wrestler is penalised. They’re aiming to have the entire ruleset figured out before the match takes place on the 28th October.

The battle between Mote Mote wrestlers and Not Mote wrestlers began with a surprise when Shigehiro Irie was revealed to be the final member of the Not Mote Army. Together with Kazusada Higuchi & Antonio Honda they isolated Yuki Ueno and beat him with the YaroZ Bomber, although Irie yelled out “Mote Bomber” when he hit the move. Makoto Oishi tried to brush off the loss by asking “The Bachelor” Rintaro Oyaizu if their dinner party was still on. Oyaizu asked to cancel it because the women going are not interested in Oishi’s type. This week’s special guest Akane Takayanagi was then invited to the ring to be asked what was the coolest thing she saw on the show today. She said Irie. Oishi realised Takayanagi is from SKE48, the idol group that currently possess the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. He charged to attack her but Irie knocked him away with the Traffic Accident Tackle. Irie got to take a picture with Takayanagi and shake her left hand as thanks. He then asked her to keep in touch on LINE but she admitted she doesn’t use it. Lastly, Irie decided to make Higuchi the new leader of the YaroZ brand. The next YaroZ show will take place on 14th November.

Priscilla Kelly had a lot of interactions in her match. She licked Saki Akai and kicked Jun Kasai between the legs after he kicked her below the belt. She and Ethan Page dove out of the ring and the Moonlight Express swept up the pieces to win.

MAO was attacked by Sanshiro Takagi (dressed as a panda) after the match and was given a Stunner. Takagi tried to smash MAO through a plastic box but MAO turned the tables and put Takagi through it with the Michinoku Driver II instead. The two went to a stand still, each armed with a broken shard of the box.

The reason Takagi was dressed as a panda was to help out Super Sasadango Machine with some research. Sasadango’s PowerPoint was titled “How To Beat Andreza Giant Panda“. So far Sasadango has learned Andreza’s weakness, Andreza’s finishing moves and the fact that DDT is not going to get sued for animal mistreatment. Now he wanted to simulate a match against the Giant Panda so he asked Takagi to dress up as a panda and act like one in their match. Takagi did so and was in control until Sasadango pulled out bamboo. Takagi was so distracted that Sasadango easily hit the Vertical Drop Lehmann Shock and got the victory. Sasadango thanked Takagi for his accurate portrayal of a giant panda. This was exactly the preparation Sasadango needs for Sumo Hall!

To show how seriously Mizuki Watase took his match with Irie, Watase wrestled without a shirt on. He shook Irie by the left hand to start the match but held on to him while they traded Elbow Smashes. Watase gave it all that he got and even hit Irie with a Running Cannonball in the corner. Irie survived the Back Drop and avoided the Tiger Suplex to hit the Beast Bomber. Rather than pin Watase immediately he instead placed Watase’s left hand over his chest. He then hit another Beast Bomber and this time pinned him. Irie, Watase and Jason Kincaid all embraced after the match.

Michael Wolf’s first proper match in Japan ended in victory. He and Jason Kincaid were able to handle Shunma Katsumata but things got difficult when Yuki Iino got in. That didn’t last long though and Kincaid took down Iino with a Diamond Cutter before pinning him with the Philosopher’s Stomp.

The audience ignored Nobuhiro Shimatani’s call for a “Nobu” chant so they could cheer for Yumehiti Imanari instead. Keisuke Ishii’s new Reverse Full Nelson got him another win.

An update on the Dramatic General Election shows that Maki Ito is still leading the singles contest with 627 votes but Masahiro Takanashi and Akito are catching up with 514 and 504 votes respectively. The big change is in the unit election where for the first time DAMNATION has been knocked off the top spot. Shuten-dōji are now in front with 1,058 votes to DAMNATION’s 1,032.

Another Iron Man Title change took place within SKE48 during the show. Yuki Arai won the title from Kaori Matsumura. Arai then announced she will show up at the next DDT Korakuen Hall show on 28th October!

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2018 ~DRAMATIC DREAM TORUHOKAKE~” Results

October 11, 2018

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2018 ~DRAMATIC DREAM TORUHOKAKE~”, 08/10/2018
Hokkaido Hakodate General Wholesale Center Distribution Hall
198 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Makoto Oishi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Mad Paulie & Nobuhiro Shimatani when Hirata pinned Shimatani with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (9:43).
2. Infomercial Match – Culture Bar “Rondo Bell”: Sanshiro Takagi & Yumehito Imanari defeated Antonio Honda & Kazusada Higuchi when Takagi pinned Honda with La Magistral Cradle (10:10).
3. Yuki Iino Knock On Series Round 4: Ethan Page defeated Yuki Iino with a Diving Elbow Drop (7:37).
4. Katsuo & Keisuke Ishii defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Masahiro Takanashi when Ishii pinned Takanashi with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (9:39).
5. Gorgeous Matsuno 57 Years Old, A Trial Match!: Mike Bailey & MAO defeated Danshoku Dieno & Gorgeous Matsuno when MAO pinned Matsuno with the Modified Hollywood Star Press (13:31).
6. Hakodate Specialty! 1,000,000 Yen Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Tetsuya Endo defeated Shigehiro Irie, Jason Kincaid & Mizuki Watase when Sasaki submitted Watase with the Cross Facelock (14:21).
7. DISASTER BOX Vs ALL OUT!: Konosuke Takeshita, Akito & Shunma Katsumata defeated HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Yuki Ueno when Takeshita pinned Ueno with the Surprise Rose (18:43).

After the main event Konosuke Takeshita talked about today being ALL OUT’s first time in Hakodate. He heard DDT first held a show here 15 years ago. The company was very different back then. Currently ALL OUT have no championships but they want to change that. They also hope to come back to Hakodate every year all as champions.

The remains of RENEGADES teamed together for what might be the final time. They currently aren’t scheduled to team up again. Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase also have a match against each other in a few days time. Irie explained that when he came back to DDT, Watase followed him without ever saying anything. Irie has watched him grow and it is fitting that they will now face each other one on one. He wants Watase to fight him with all of his feelings.

Gorgeous Matsuno wanted to teach those young whippersnappers Mike Bailey & MAO what classic wrestling is like from someone who was a champion 20 years ago. Bailey also got Danshoku Dieno to agree not to grab his crotch during the match. Obviously Dieno went back on that agreement when the match got hot. MAO later popped a balloon in front of Matsuno’s face, dizzying him enough to walk into Dieno’s Hell Gate by accident. MAO then used Dieno as a stepping stone to hit the Hollywood Star Press on Matsuno for the win.

Since the Infomercial Match was sponsored by a local otaku bar, Sanshiro Takagi & Yumehito Imanari wrestled in cosplay outfits. Takagi was a Gundam and Imanari was Jagi from Fist Of The North Star. Antonio Honda stole Takagi’s Gundam helmet to wear. When he did the Diving Fist Drop, Takagi quickly put on Imanari’s Jagi helmet to protect himself. Honda hurt his fist and was rolled up with La Magistral Cradle.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2018 ~DRAMATIC DREAM TOMOROKOSHI~” Results

October 11, 2018

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2018 ~DRAMATIC DREAM TOMOROKOSHI~”, 07/10/2018
Hokkaido Sapporo Susukino Mars Gym
423 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Mars Specialty! Sea Urchin, Salmon, Scallops, Crab Bowl 4 Way Tag Match: Jason Kincaid & Ethan Page defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Masahiro Takanashi, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata and Soma Takao & Nobuhiro Shimatani when Kincaid pinned Shimatani with the Philosopher’s Stomp (9:20).
2. Antonio Honda & Makoto Oishi defeated Shunma Katsumata & Maki Ito when Honda pinned Katsumata with a Sunset Flip (8:27).
3. Sanshiro Takagi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Hisaya Imabayashi defeated Super Sasadango Machine, Gorgeous Matsuno & Samson Miyamoto when Imabayashi pinned Sasadango after a Lightspeed 3m Headbutt from Andreza Giant Panda (6:25).
4. How About Hokkaido Singles!: Kazusada Higuchi defeated Yuki Ueno with the Doctor Bomb (12:32).
5. HARASHIMA, Tomoya & Koji Yoshida defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Akito & Yuki Iino when HARASHIMA pinned Iino with the Somato (15:14).
6. Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki defeated Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase when Ishii pinned Watase with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (16:12).
7. Sapporo Specialty! Special 6-Man Tag Match From The North: Danshoku Dieno, Mike Bailey & MAO defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie when Dieno pinned Paulie with the Danshoku Driver (18:06).

The continuing back and forth between Danshoku Dieno and his attempts to overwhelm Daisuke Sasaki with his, erm, Danshoku-ness is now back in Dieno’s favour. This time Dieno knocked out Sasaki with a Tombstone Piledriver before pinning Mad Paulie with the Danshoku Driver. After the match Dieno told the audience he can hear them calling his name. He also said DDT stands for Danshoku Dieno Team. When DDT returns to Hokkaido Dieno will have turned 40% to 70% roster gay and the first victim will be Daisuke Sasaki at Sumo Hall!

Keisuke Ishii and Kouki Iwasaki are working so well together that they now want to be a regular tag team. They can become one because they are now both Ganbare☆Wrestling regulars.

With a singles win today, Kazusada Higuchi is working on keeping his momentum going into Sumo Hall and sustaining it for the rest of the year. Higuchi will be competing in NOAH for their annual Global League tournament in November. Then straight after that he wishes to win the second D-Ou Grand Prix. Winning both will make him climb up to the leading role in DDT.

Yesterday in Nemuro, Super Sasadango Machine kidnapped Samson Miyamoto the master of Andreza Giant Panda. Sasadango assured everyone he was following the rules of the Geneva Convention and Miyamoto was given enough food and water to be kept in a healthy state as Sasadango’s prisoner. Sasadango said that the nearby typhoon cancelled the trains to Sapporo. He also said that Andreza cannot drive a car so there is absolutely no way that Andreza was able to come and rescue Miyamoto today. Booing 2018 misread the situation and thought Miyamoto was joining Sasadango’s team to make it a 3 Vs 2 Handicap Match. They demanded Hisaya Imabayashi to join their team to turn it into a trios match. Imabayashi had to wear Yumehito Imanari’s shorts and an NωA shirt to wrestle in. Both were too short for him. Sasadango then learned he should never to underestimate a vengeful panda. Andreza appeared and crashed the match, swiping aside any wrestler who stepped in his way. A scared Sasadango offered a handshake but Andreza knocked him out with the Lightspeed 3m Headbutt. Imabayashi then jumped on top of Sasadango for the pin. Andreza was reunited with Miyamoto after the match. Miyamoto told Sasadango that this was the power of Andreza and he will do more to him at Sumo Hall! Sasadango is now left alone to come up with a new strategy to beat the panda.

Jason Kincaid got to experience the power of the Hirata GO! glasses. Kincaid, Kazuki Hirata and Nobuhiro Shimatani all wore the glasses and danced in a philosophical way together until Kincaid gave both of them a Double Stunner and then pinned Shimatani with the Philosopher’s Stomp.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2018 ~DRAMATIC DREAM TARABAGANI~” Results

October 11, 2018

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2018 ~DRAMATIC DREAM TARABAGANI~”, 06/10/2018
Hokkaido Nemuro City Youth Center
516 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Akito & Yuki Iino defeated Tetsuya Endo & Nobuhiro Shimatani when Akito submitted Shimatani with the Scorpion Lock (8:03).
2. Yukio Sakaguchi & Masahiro Takanashi defeated Antonio Honda & Kazuki Hirata when Takanashi pinned Honda with a Samson Clutch (8:54).
3. Mike Bailey, MAO & Ethan Page defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Super Sasadango Machine when Bailey pinned Matsunaga with the Ultima Weapon (7:27).
4. Shigehiro Irie, Jason Kincaid & Mizuki Watase defeated HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Yuki Ueno when Watase pinned Ueno with the Back Drop (11:01).
5. A Man Survived Many Hardships And Reached The Place Of Nemuro! Giant Single Match: Andreza Giant Panda defeated Gorgeous Matsuno by Pinfall (1:16).
5a. Rematch: Andreza Giant Panda defeated Gorgeous Matsuno with the Andreza Press (3:40).
6. Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Mad Paulie defeated Danshoku Dieno, Makoto Oishi & Kazusada Higuchi when Takao pinned Oishi with the Gin And Tonic (13:29).
7. UWA Asia Pacific Heavyweight Champion Kouki Iwasaki Local Triumph! Nemuro Specialty Special Tag Match: Kouki Iwasaki & Keisuke Ishii defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata when Iwasaki pinned Katsumata with a Vertical Drop Reverse DDT (19:18).

The hometown hero Kouki Iwasaki was in tears as he addressed the crowd after the main event. He didn’t think so many people would come see him wrestle today. He promised to take the next step in the pro wrestling world. He described today as the best situation possible from the opponents to his choice of tag team partner. Everything was in place for him to work his hardest and do his best. He no longer feels like he is a part of DDT because he will now be wrestling in Ganbare☆Wrestling, NOAH and also Real Japan. He appreciates what DDT has done for him and he hopes to repay them in some way.

Daisuke Sasaki was able to give Danshoku Dieno a Low Blow while Nobuhiro Shimatani distracted the referee. Sasaki said he drowned in the sea of pleasure today. In two weeks at Sumo Hall he will be able to overcome those pleasures.

Gorgeous Matsuno fell on his back wanting to do the Inoki Kicks to Andreza Giant Panda. What he didn’t expect was Andreza to simply step on him for the three count. An immediate rematch was agreed to and Matsuno did a little better. However he was squashed by the Andreza Press to lose again. After the match Super Sasadango Machine entered the ring carrying a rope. Before today he thought Andreza had no weaknesses. But Sasadango discovered one by watching this match. Andreza’s weak spot is his handler Samson Miyamoto! Sasadango tied up Miyamoto with the rope and gave him the Vertical Drop Lehmann Shock. Andreza was lost and couldn’t do anything without Miyamoto instructing him. Sasadango taunted Andreza by telling him to go enjoy his freedom. If the Panda wants to come back to the ring and rescue his master, he should go to the DDT show in Sapporo tomorrow. That’s if Andreza can figure out how to get there.

Now that he’s become a freelancer, Shigehiro Irie is starting to rediscover the joys of DDT again. It helps that he is already seeing Mizuki Watase grow stronger and win more matches.

MAO and Sanshiro Takagi attacked each other on the stage with a volleyball they found lying about. They later threw chairs at each other in the audience.

DDT “DDT LIVE! MAJI MANJI #19” Results

October 2, 2018

DDT “DDT LIVE! MAJI MANJI #19”, 02/10/2018
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
129 Fans

0. NO TV Match I – “Mr. No TV” Makoto Oishi Appears In His 5th NO TV Match!: Makoto Oishi defeated Gota Ihashi with a Feather Hold (5:46).
0. NO TV Match II: Mizuki Watase & Jason Kincaid defeated Keisuke Ishii & Yuki Ueno when Watase pinned Ueno with the Back Drop (8:24).
1. DAMNATION Vs ALL OUT!: Akito, Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Iino defeated Soma Takao, Tetsuya Endo & Nobuhiro Shimatani when Iino pinned Shimatani with the Football Spear (10:23).
2. Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Miyu Yamashita & Shoko Nakajima defeated Mizuki & Azusa Takigawa when Nakajima pinned Takigawa with the Northern Lights Suplex (10:31).
3. Maji Manji Two Serious Big Match: Jun Kasai defeated Masahiro Takanashi with a Cradle (8:26).
4. HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Mike Bailey, Antonio Honda & Keisuke Okuda when Hirata pinned Honda with the Miracle One Shot Cradle (13:03).
5. Maji Manji Two Serious Big Match: Konosuke Takeshita defeated Ethan Page with the German Suplex (13:48).
6. Danshoku Dieno & Kazusada Higuchi defeated Daisuke Sasaki & Mad Paulie when Dieno pinned Sasaki with the Danshoku Driver (14:12).

Daisuke Sasaki continued his training to resist Danshoku Dieno’s moveset but he doesn’t have enough endurance to make it effective. Instead Sasaki found a cardboard cutout of Dieno and destroyed it with a chair to make Dieno upset. Dieno later wore Sasaki down with the Lip Lock and was able to pin his Sumo Hall opponent with the Danshoku Driver. After the match Makoto Oishi brought in a cardboard frame and Dieno lewdly posed with Sasaki in it. Dieno told Sasaki he will irritate him more until “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2018”.

Ethan Page’s current unbeaten run is brought to an end by Konosuke Takehsita. At one point the two fought their way up to the commentary table and Takeshita accidentally hit Sanshiro Takagi with a Big Boot. Back in the ring the Big Boot found its proper target and that led to Takeshita hitting the German Suplex to win. Takeshita asked Page for a rematch but this time in Page’s home ring. Page is welcome to the idea and wants it to happen in either Canada or America. Takeshita is now going to focus on his next big match, the one against CIMA.

A fight broke out between HARASHIMA and Keisuke Okuda after Match #4. Moments after Kazuki Hirata won the match, Okuda gave him a High Kick unprovoked. HARASHIMA jumped at Okuda and the two had to be separated. Tetsuya Koda said he was going to strike while the iron is hot and he booked a match between HARASHIMA and Okuda for the 10th October episode of Maji Manji.

Masahiro Takanashi wanted to wrestle a clean match with Jun Kasai. That led to some awkward moments when Kasai attacked him with a chair because to Kasai that is not cheating. Kasai then called out to a fan who regularly attends these shows so he can use their bag as a weapon. However the fan was nowhere to be seen. Takanashi snuck in a Low Blow and then called Sayaka Obihiro in the audience to hand her bag over to him. A miscommunication between them and the bad allowed Kasai to take back control. He missed the Pearl Harbor Splash but countered an Oklahoma Roll to pin Takanashi for the three count.

Azusa Takigawa used her time in her match to promote her photobook “Last News” coming out on 8th October.

Yuki Iino wins his first match as part of ALL OUT, hitting the Football Spear on Nobuhiro Shimatani. Backstage Shunma Katsumata called Iino ALL OUT’s secret weapon. Akito joked that he never knew Iino had such a powerful finisher in him. Iino said he will use this momentum to crush STRONG HEARTS at Sumo Hall.

It’s still unsure what Mizuki Watase & Jason Kincaid will do in the future without RENEGADES but as a team they still work well together.

Gota Ihashi missed a Moonsault. Makoto Oishi did better and hit a Lionsault before submitting Ihashi with a Feather Hold.

There was an Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title change shown during the episode. The champion Akari Suda was attacked and pinned by her fellow SKE48 member Kaori Matsumura. Or at least she was a member of the group before she graduated a few weeks ago.

DDT “BEST WESTERN LARIAT SERIES 2018 ~REBORN~ BATTLE OF CORAL” Results

September 30, 2018

DDT “BEST WESTERN LARIAT SERIES 2018 ~REBORN~ BATTLE OF CORAL”, 30/09/2018
Tokyo Best Western Rembrandt Hotel Tokyo Machida
280 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Shigehiro Irie, Jason Kincaid & Mizuki Watase defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Tanomusaku Toba & Gota Ihashi when Irie pinned Ihashi with the Beast Bomber (9:35).
2. Akito & Keisuke Ishii defeated Tetsuya Endo & Nobuhiro Takanashi when Ishii submitted Takanashi with a Body Strangle Reverse Full Nelson (9:05).
3. Yukio Sakaguchi, Masahiro Takanashi & Saki Akai defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Maki Ito when Takanashi pinned Matsunaga with a School Boy (8:10).
4. Please Spend A Wonderful Time With Delicious Meals And Gorgeous Dance: Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi when Owashi pinned Oishi with La Magistral Cradle (11:51).
5. Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Mad Paulie defeated Mike Bailey, Ethan Page & Antonio Honda when Sasaki submitted Honda with La Mistica Cross Facelock (14:34).
6. DISASTER BOX Vs ALL OUT!: HARASHIMA & Yuki Ueno defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata when HARASHIMA pinned Katsumata with the Somato (14:46).

After the main event Nobuhiro Shimatani entered the ring when HARASHIMA finished his show closing speech. Shimatani started dancing while singing the words “Machida Go” until Kazuki Hirata gave him an Ace Crusher. Hirata then called for “TOKYO GO!” to be played and he danced to that.

The show began with Hisaya Imabayashi and the hotel’s Director General of the Sales Division Miku Tagawa welcoming the audience to the show. Danshoku Dieno got into the ring and he gave Tagawa a Lip Lock, knocking him out. Imabayashi was upset that Dieno would do that to their host. Dieno then made a bet. If his team wins then he and Tagawa will spend the night together in the hotel suite. When the match happened, Dieno’s team lost when Makoto Oishi was pinned by Toru Owashi. What Owashi didn’t realise was that he was now going to spend the night with Tagawa in his suite! Tagawa entered the ring, shared a kiss with Owashi and they happily left the ring together.

Sanshiro Takagi wanted to finish his match as quickly as possible because the local train service was closing at 8pm due to the typhoon weather. He also introduced a new move called the Best Western Lariat where Takagi sprinted down from the entrance, climbed into the ring and continued sprinting until he could hit the Lariat. Unfortunately Tomomitsu Matsunaga took the Lariat when Masahiro Takanashi moved out of the way. Takagi did the Texas Longhorn pose after the move anyway.

Yesterday Keisuke Ishii announced that he will be transferring over to Ganbare☆Wrestling as a loan from DDT. He explained that he is right now in the best physical condition of his life and he doesn’t know how long it will last. Because of this, Ishii wants to wrestle in other groups so he can make the most of this time in his life. He will still be appearing for DDT but will do so as a Ganpro wrestler.

Shigehiro Irie wins his final match as a DDT contracted wrestler. Starting tomorrow he now becomes a freelancer. Irie is happy to end his run with Jason Kincaid and Mizuki Watase teaming with him. Watase promised Irie to become stronger while he is gone. Kincaid appreciates getting to meet Japanese wrestling fans thanks to Irie.

DDT “DDT LIVE! MAJI MANJI #18 ~SHIBUYA STREAM HALL OPENING MEMORIAL KOKERAOTOSHI SPECIAL~” Results

September 25, 2018

DDT “DDT LIVE! MAJI MANJI #18 ~SHIBUYA STREAM HALL OPENING MEMORIAL KOKERAOTOSHI SPECIAL~”, 25/09/2018
Shibuya Stream Hall
267 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

0. NO TV Match I: Masahiro Takanashi defeated Mizuki Watase with the Hangover!! (8:20).
0. NO TV Match II: Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata defeated Mad Paulie & Nobuhiro Shimatani when Owashi pinned Shimatani with La Magistral Cradle (7:43).
1. Sanshiro Takagi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga defeated Mike Bailey & Gota Ihashi when Takagi pinned Ihashi with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (5:31).
2. Keisuke Ishii & Ethan Page defeated Shigehiro Irie & Jason Kincaid when Page pinned Kincaid with the Avalanche Hold (7:19).
3. Yuna Manase defeated Maki Itoh with a Neck Screw Hold (5:53).
4. HARASHIMA, Daichi Hashimoto & Yuki Ueno defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Antonio Honda & Keisuke Okuda when HARASHIMA pinned Honda with the Somato (10:05).
5. Opening War! ALL OUT Vs STRONG HEARTS!!: CIMA, T-Hawk, El Lindaman & Duan Yingnan defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Akito, Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Iino when T-Hawk pinned Katsumata with the Night Ride (15:26).
6. Shibuya Stream Hall Opening Memorial! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Tetsuya Endo defeated Danshoku Dieno, Jun Kasai & Makoto Oishi when Sasaki submitted Oishi with the Cross Facelock (13:53).

The first preview battle between Danshoku Dieno and Daisuke Sasaki saw DAMNATION go on top when Sasaki submitted Dieno’s buddy Makoto Oishi. Due to the earlier appearance of STRONG HEARTS on the show, Oishi wanted his team to show everybody what real “STRONG HEARTS” look like. It involved Dieno & Oishi positioning themselves against the turnbuckles with the back of their shorts pulled down. Jun Kasai was supposed to throw his opponents into them but he got thrown headfirst instead. Another key moment of the match saw Sasaki resisting Dieno’s Crotch Grab. However Dieno’s Lip Lock was still effective. Tetsuya Endo wiped out Dieno & Kasai with the Sasuke Special. Sasaki then won the match by trapping Oishi in the Cross Facelock. Sasaki called Dieno a relic of the past and the reason Sasaki was succesful today is because Dieno couldn’t make him erect with his moves. Dieno couldn’t believe it and swore he will get Sasaki erect the next time they fight. Dieno will gradually get Sasaki to a 10 degree angle, then a 20 degree angle and finally a 30 degree angle just like Oishi! According to Dieno, Oishi is always at 30 degrees.

The first meeting between ALL OUT and STRONG HEARTS was a full fledged 4 Vs 4 Tag Match that ended in defeat for the home team. T-Hawk got the win by pinning Shunma Katsumata with the Night Ride. Konosuke Takeshita admitted that STRONG HEARTS brought the heat today and he will use the loss as motivation when he faces CIMA at Sumo Hall. Meanwhile Yuki Iino took offence at El Lindaman sneaking in a low blow by kicking the rope while Iino was climbing into the ring. Lindaman denied any foul play and blamed Iino for getting in the way of the rope like an idiot. T-Hawk asked ALL OUT to bring more heat for their matches in October. Akito marked T-Hawk as his target for the Sumo Hall 6-Man Tag. Maybe under other circumstances they could have gotten along because they have similar hairstyles. Too bad, Akito’s going to hunt him down instead.

HARASHIMA said he had a good time teaming with Daichi Hashimoto today. He thinks it was a waste that they were only teaming for one match. They also enjoyed laughing at Antonio Honda’s jokes during the match so they got to enjoy themselves while they stood on the apron waiting to tag in. Win or lose, Honda will continue to tell vulgar jokes whenever he can.

Maki Itoh is still leading the Dramatic General Election by a wide margin but inside the ring she still can’t get a win. This week she lost to Yuna Manase when she missed the Flying Big Head and got pinned with a Neck Screw Hold. Itoh is feeling no pressure with leading the votes. If she can’t become the Atsuko Maeda of the idol world she can become the Atsuko Maeda of the wrestling world instead.


Nobody is more disappointed in MAO’s injury than Sanshiro Takagi. With his Sumo Hall opponent nowhere to be seen today, Takagi has nobody to take his frustrations out of. Gota Ihashi did his best to fill in for MAO. He wore MAO’s wrestling gear and tried to replicate his moveset to mixed results. Mike Bailey was left confused by the turn of events and tried to convince everyone that Ihashi wasn’t MAO. Even Bailey couldn’t resist stomping on Ihashi after Ihashi lost them the match. Takagi doesn’t care how hurt MAO is, he is only thinking about destroying him at Sumo Hall!

Kazuki Hirata and Nobuhiro Shimatani got into a Hirata GO! dance battle. Hirata got the better of Shimatani and climbed the turnbuckles to finish him off. That was when Toru Owashi tagged himself in and pinned Shimatani with La Magistral Cradle, leaving Hirata standing on the turnbuckles.

Mizuki Watase did well to avoid the Takatonic but Masahiro Takanashi was able to pin him with the Hangover!! with two minutes left on the match clock. The question that needs to be asked now is what should Watase do after the RENEGADES split up?

DDT was treated to a return appearance of Rintaro Oyaizu from The Bachelor Japan. One month ago Oyaizu was on Maji Manji and had his heart captured by Aja Kong. He was invited back by Makoto Oishi to solve a problem within The Compliance. Oishi wants Oyaizu to hold a dinner party where they teach Antonio Honda and Kazusada Higuchi how to be “mote mote”. In other words, how to become popular with the opposite sex. Oyaizu is mote mote. According to Oishi he is also mote mote and his recent marriage is proof of that. Oyaizu revealed he is already helping out a young DDT wrestler with this, Yuki Ueno! Honda & Higuchi were furious and things got heated until Hisaya Imabayashi stepped in. The solution is a 6-Man Tag between the Mote Mote Army and the Not Mote Army on 2nd October. Oishi, Ueno & a Mote Mystery Partner against Higuchi, Honda and a Not Mote Mystery Partner!

DDT “SHINSHU ROASTED PORK 2018” Results

September 25, 2018

DDT “SHINSHU ROASTED PORK 2018”, 24/09/2018
Nagano Art Center Pavilion
222 Fans

1. Mike Bailey & Ethan Page defeated Mad Paulie & Nobuhiro Shimatani when Bailey pinned Shimatani after the Ultima Weapon & Canadian Backbreaker Combo (9:35).
2. Tokyo Joshi Pro Offer Match: Hyper Misao defeated Maki Itoh with a Rope Assisted School Boy (10:42).
3. 3 Way Match: Soma Takao defeated Jason Kincaid and Shunma Katsumata when Takao pinned Katsumata with the Gin And Tonic (8:22).
4. Nagano Specialty! Toishikuzure 1 Vs 3 Handicap Match: Danshoku Dieno Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Super Sasadango Machine & Makoto Oishi ended in a no contest when the teams changed.
4a. Nagano Specialty! Toishikuzure Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno & Makoto Oishi Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Super Sasadango Machine ended in a no contest when the teams changed.
4b. Nagano Specialty! Toishikuzure 3 Vs 1 Handicap Match: Danshoku Dieno, Makoto Oishi & Super Sasadango Machine defeated Sanshiro Takagi when Dieno pinned Takagi with the Danshoku Driver (8:47).
5. DDT Nagano Sales Manager Toru Owashi Local Triumph! “Owashi And Funny Friends Part 4” Special 6-Man Tag Match: Toru Owashi, Keisuke Ishii & Antonio Honda defeated Yukio Sakaguchi, Masahiro Takanashi & Kazusada Higuchi when Owashi pinned Takanashi with La Magistral Cradle (11:06).
6. DAMNATION Vs RENEGADES!: Daisuke Sasaki & Tetsuya Endo defeated Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase when Endo submitted Watase with the Modified Yurikamome Hold (18:41).
7. DISASTER BOX Vs ALL OUT!: HARASHIMA, Kazuki Hirata & Yuki Ueno defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Akito & Yuki Iino when Hirata pinned Iino with the Backward Miracle One Shot Cradle (17:33).

Toru Owashi wasn’t certain that Kazuki Hirata got the three count in the main event. HARASHIMA had to tell him when the referee counts to three, it is a three count. Yuki Ueno congratulated Owashi on doing his best as the sales manager for the show today. Hirata got to do his dance and thought the rest of DISASTER BOX joined in behind him. They instead sat down in the corner of the ring and watched him dance on his own.

While his friends congratulated him for his job today, Owashi admitted he is worried that the attendance for DDT’s Nagano shows has been gradually decreasing. He doesn’t know when DDT will return to Nagano but when they do he wants the fans to bring their neighbors, their grandparents and anyone else to the show with them.

Danshoku Dieno wanted to prepare himself for the possibility of fighting DAMNATION on his own so he changed his tag match into a 3 Vs 1 Handicap Match. Sanshiro Takagi, Super Sasadango Machine & Makoto Oishi used some DAMNATION moves on Dieno until Oishi had a change of heart and protected his friend from the attacks. Oishi would never abandon Dieno so the match was changed back to its original tag team bout. Takagi continued acting like a DAMNATION heel and ordered Sasadango to attack the other team with a chair. Sasadango couldn’t do that to his friends so he attacked Takagi instead! The match was changed back to a 3 Vs 1 Handicap but this time Dieno, Oishi & Sasadango was the team and Takagi was on his own. Dieno beat Takagi with the Danshoku Driver then sent a message to Daisuke Sasaki. Dieno said he will pull off the Sumo Hall main event that Sasaki will not. He told Sasaki to keep watching from the shadows.

Hyper Misao used an accidental unmasking to roll Maki Itoh into a School Boy and pin her with her feet on the ropes for leverage. As a form of apology, Misao gave Itoh her vote for the Dramatic General Election. Unfortunately Misao then found out that wrestlers cannot vote for other wrestlers in the contest so her voting ballot was confiscated. The merchandise Misao purchased to get the ballot still stands and she will not be given a refund.

With MAO absences, Takao is now taken out of the match and added to Jason Kincaid Vs Shunma Katsumata to make it a 3 Way Match.

DDT “DDT LIVE! MAJI MANJI #18 ~SHIBUYA STREAM HALL OPENING MEMORIAL KOKERAOTOSHI SPECIAL~”, 25/09/2018

6. Shibuya Stream Hall Opening Memorial! Special 6-Man Tag Match: Danshoku Dieno, Jun Kasai & Makoto Oishi Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Tetsuya Endo

The show will be held at the newly opened Shibuya Stream Hall. The venue is part of a 35 storey, 180m high building next to the Shibuya River and near Shibuya Station. With the 2020 Olympics on the horizon, new venues are opening up in Japan and hopefully that means new places for the DDT family to go. The Kanda Myojin Hall opening near Akihabara in December will be one such venue for Tokyo Joshi Pro.

The STRONG HEARTS have invaded DDT! Some big matches between them and ALL OUT were booked for “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2018” but their first confrontation will be an 8-Man Tag Match this Tuesday.

Normally I would balk at the idea of Gota Ihashi replacing MAO but credit where it’s due, Ihashi is doing a great job getting into shape.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HOW DO YOU LIKE ITABASHI?”, 29/09/2018

4. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao Vs Reika Saiki & Azusa Takigawa
5. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Maki Itoh Vs Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Miu

I’m unsure how often the Itoh Respect Army will continue to team together now that Mizuki has chosen Yuka Sakazaki over Maki Itoh. But for now the two sides are able to join forces. We’ll see how long this lasts.

Ryota Nakatsu already has a Union MAX Title defence lined up. Daiki Shimomura with his new monkey tail will be channeling Kodaka to try and win the belt.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HOW DO YOU LIKE KITAZAWA?”, 08/10/2018
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino

According to Nodoka Tenma, she and Yuki Aino were always given identical gifts by their mother. Clothes, bags, food, everything. Tenma wants to continue this trend by getting identical championship belts for her and her sister. The TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles are just the kind of belts she is looking for. Aino admits that it is too soon for her to challenge for a championship but with her sister by her side she is determined to succeed.

8. KO-D Openweight Title: Danshoku Dieno (c) Vs Daisuke Sasaki

Danshoku Dieno will achieve his dream of main eventing “RYOGOKU PETER PAN” and as the KO-D Openweight Champion to boot. A bitter and hateful Daisuke Sasaki stands opposite him. His fortunes turned around after he was dumped by Asuka (the WAVE one). By hating everything, Sasaki went on to win the King Of DDT tournament to get to this spot. Now all that’s left is for him to win the KO-D Title to bring DDT back under DAMNATION.

STRONG HEARTS came to DDT to challenge ALL OUT. Konosuke Takeshita turned the tables a bit by challenging the STRONG HEARTS leader CIMA to a singles match. DDT’s young supernova will go one on one with one of the most influential wrestlers on the Japanese scene for the last 20 years! Meanwhile the rest of ALL OUT face off against three members of STRONG HEARTS. T-Hawk & El Lindaman are well known from their Dragon Gate work. Tian Yunan is the wild card from the unit’s home promotion OWE. Yunan wrestled exclusively for OWE in China until this month when he made his Japan debut replacing an injured Gao Jingjia on a Wrestle-1 card.

The newest women’s wrestler to debut in DDT is Mina Shirakawa, a gravure idol and devoted wrestling fan who trained to become a pro wrestler in April. She had her first pro match in August as part of a Best Body Japan event that was also supported by DDT. Shirakawa teamed with Shoko Nakajima in a losing effort against Reika Saiki & model Hoshimi Muramatsu. Shirakawa has since traveled to Mexico to train and wrestle her second match as part of a lucha libre expo.
