7. Beer Garden Specialty Guest Lottery 6-Man Tag Team Match: Konosuke Takeshita, HARASHIMA & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Shuji Ishikawa, Keisuke Ishii & Kazusada Higuchi when HARASHIMA pinned Ishii with the Somato (14:51).

Last call for orders, today was the finale of Beer Garden 2016 and the last DDT show before “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2016” takes place in two weeks time. The main event is a tradition for Beer Garden finales, a 6-Man Tag Team match with both teams being decided by a fan lottery. Konosuke Takeshita, Shuji Ishikawa, HARASHIMA, Yukio Sakaguchi, Keisuke Ishii and Kazusada Higuchi were the wrestlers taking part. Six randomly chosen fans got to pick a name out of a box to set up the teams. In the end we got Takeshita, HARASHIMA & Sakaguchi Vs Ishikawa, Ishii & Higuchi as the match. HARASHIMA won the match for his team but afterwards there was a tense staredown between Takeshita and Ishikawa.

Dick Togo & Mike Bailey teamed up for the first time ever to prepare for their match with DAMNATION at Sumo Hall. They got to get in the ring with Tatsuya Endo but he also had Mad Paulie looking over him. Togo was determined to give Endo the Pedigree but Daisuke Sasaki ran in to try and stop him. Togo caught Sasaki in the Crippler Crossface. That left Bailey to hit the Shooting Star Double Knee Drop on Endo for the win. Togo then gave Sasaki the Pedigree and Diving Senton. He and Bailey told Sasaki & Endo they will be waiting for them at Sumo Hall.

Yuko Miyamoto has decided to join Smile Squash for the DDT Dramatic General Election! Miyamoto is teaming with HARASHIMA as Yankee Smile so he feels that being part of the unit for the election makes sense. His first match as a member of Smile Squash was turned into a Falls Count Anywhere Scramble Bunkhouse Match because of Ken Ohka & KAI’s demands. Their friend Shota left a bamboo sword in the ring for everyone to fight over. KAI’s garbage wrestling inspiration continued when he used the Gannosuke Clutch to pin Yasu Urano. KAI told Miyamoto he is determined to keep the KO-D Tag Team Titles and provoked him into attacking Shota with the bamboo sword.

After Match #3 Kouki Iwasaki was approached by Tomomitsu Matsunaga and Gota Ihashi. They asked him if he wanted to reform Pigging with them. Iwasaki declined because he wants to continue wrestling by himself. However Iwasaki reappeared during the Election announcements clearly regretting his decision. He changed his mind and accepted their offer to bring Pigging back to life.

Some other announcements were made about the Dramatic Election. Sanshiro Takagi announced that Soma Takao was the newest member of T2Hide… Also Kazusada Higuchi… And Chikara… Oh and Guanchulo, Rekka, Mizuki Watase, Daiki Shimomura and Nobuhiro Shimatani. So now T2Hide consists of 11 members. Ken Ohka protested his absence from the election but was told it is only open to DDT, DNA and BOYZ this year save for a few exceptions. KAI said he was forming a two man unit and wanted Ohka on his side, so Ohka was accepted into the competition. Their unit is called Bad Comi, short for Bad Communication.

Another ghost story was on the cards but Super Sasadango Machine was feeling a little tired of the idea. It doesn’t help that Hisaya Imabayashi died in a car crash last year and thus wasn’t able to tell his stories anymore. Danshoku Dino wondered if he ever passed down his stories to someone else so the role could move on to a new generation. Saki Akai came out wearing a yukata. She told everyone they had three minutes to win their match otherwise she will tell her ghost story. Three minutes passed and Akai began to read. “Coin locker baby… Credibility… Infertility… Shaku Umaa… Dick-Godzilla…” She had difficulty trying to read the book. Everyone began to complain until Nobuhiro Shimatani ran in with a shocked look on his face. He told everyone that Imabayashi’s identical twin brother Masaya Imabayashi was coming over! Masaya walked out and said he will tell a ghost story to mourn the first anniversary of his brother’s death.

“Coin Locker Baby”. An unmarried 17 year old woman became pregnant and gave birth but had confidence to raise the child on her own. So she abandoned it in a locker at Gotanda Station. Five years later the woman returned to the coin locker. As she stood in front of it she heard a child cry behind her. The woman asked if the child was lost but he just cried louder and louder. She asked where his father was? He still cried. She then asked about his mother? At that moment the child stopped crying and there was silence. The child looked up and told the woman “It’s you!”

Everyone screamed. Dino told Masaya it was a good story but very similar to the one his brother told in Shin-Kiba last year. Masaya flipped out and pointed at Dino, shouting “You!” and making him faint. He then did it to Sasadango, then Guanchulo, then Toru Owashi but stopped at Akai. He said he entrusted Akai with his powers and wanted her to try them out. She pointed at Yukinori Matsui and yelled “You!” over and over but nothing happened. Masaya did it instead and then did it to Akai. Masaya grabbed a bottle of water and splashed it over the audience while “Wild Thing” played over the sound system. Masaya thanked everyone for coming, left an envelope in the ring and told Sasadango to call him if they ever want to do this again. When he left Shimatani came back out with some horrible news. He announced that Masaya Imabayashi had died in a car crash on the way to Shinjuku FACE. Dino opened the envelope that was left in the ring and it simply read “You’re Next!”

August 11, 2016

dino-beergarden

DDT “BEER GARDEN FIGHT 2016 ~DANSHOKU DINO DAY~”, 11/08/2016
Shinjuku FACE
600 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Objectively And Scientifically Determine The Group Leader Match: Shunma Katsumata defeated Makoto Oishi and MAO when Katsumata pinned MAO with the Firebird Splash (6:02).
*Shunma Katsumata is now the leader of NωA.
2. Lariat Pro Vs Knee Pro: Keisuke Ishii & Tanomusaku Toba defeated Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Daiki Shimomura when Ishii pinned Shimomura with a School Boy (12:18).
3. Match With Someone Breaking In Every Few Minutes: Mike Bailey defeated Danshoku Dino with a School Boy (28:41).
Order Of Interference: Kazuki Hirata, Norikazu Fujioka, Hanolek Hogaso, Shon Michaels, A.YAZAWA, Antonio Honda, Norikazu Fujioka.
4. Beer Garden Specialty 5 Way Falls Count Anywhere Match: Megane Fujioka defeated Super Sasadango Machine, Antonio Honda, Mike Bailey, Tanomusaku Toba, Danshoku Dino, Keisuke Ishii, Kazuki Hirata, Makoto Oishi, Shunma Katsumata, MAO and Daiki Shimomura when Fujioka pinned Dino with the Glass Of Megane (14:57).

Day 4 of Beer Garden week had two shows on offer. Danshoku Dino was in charge of the afternoon show. He apologised at the beginning for anything that went wrong but it was all done to make the audience laugh. The main event was supposed to be a 5 Way Falls Count Anywhere Match between Dino, Super Sasadango Machine, Antonio Honda, Mike Bailey and Tanomusaku Toba. When the bell rang “Enter Sandman” began playing and everyone collected full beer cans to drink and smash together while wrestling. As the match went on more and more wrestlers joined in and it eventually became a 12-Man free for all. Everybody ganged up on Dino when he picked on DDT video crew member “Megane” Norikazu Fujioka. Sasadango stopped Dino from doing the Danshoku Driver and gave him a Manhattan Drop instead. NωA gave Dino a Triple Missile Dropkick then Toba gave him a Buzzsaw Kick and then Bailey hit the Shooting Star Double Knee Drop. Dino still got his hands on Fujioka and tried to Power Bomb him. But Fujioka countered it into a Hurricanrana and won the match. “Enter Sandman” played throughout all 15 minutes of the match. Dino said the entire show was put together with unbearably regrettable love. Sasadango agreed and said he was only doing professional wrestling for this moment. Toba said it was great to be in a great match for DDT again since he’s been gone from the company for so long and he hasn’t found anywhere else to go since then.

Dino and Bailey had a match together earlier in the show with the stipulation that there would be a run-in every few minutes. Every wrestler coming down to interfere was allowed to attack Dino or Bailey because they harboured resentment towards them for no reason. The interference was still illegal but the referee would look away whenever it happened. If he doesn’t see it, it didn’t happen! The first run-in came when both Dino and Bailey were knocked out. It was Kazuki Hirata so all he did was do his dance and then leave. Norikazu Fujioka was next and he came out wearing a bra. Dino knocked him out with a Lip Lock. Hanolek Hogaso Hulked up and gave Bailey the Big Boot to help out Dino. However when Hogaso left, Shon Michaels appeared and gave Dino the Sweet Chin Music to even the playing field. When Michaels left A.YAZAWA danced down to the ring. Bailey twisted YAZAWA’s suspenders around so it would choke him. When YAZAWA was gone a tired looking Antonio Honda showed up in his underwear. Dino got rid of him with the Danshoku Driver. Fujioka came back and got on the mic. He wanted everyone to hear what he had to say so he invited the entire locker room to come out. He announced he was getting married! Dino was so shocked by this he was easily rolled into a School Boy by Bailey and the match was over. Everyone celebrated the announcement by holding a toast while wearing pantyhose over their heads. Dino was still frozen in shock at this point.

The Lariat Pro Vs Knee Pro match was filled with you guessed it, Lariats and Knee Strikes. It happened so much that they started playing entrance songs for wrestlers who are known to use such moves from “J” to “Power Hall” to “Sunrise” to “CROWN OF WINNER” to “Iron Man” to “GRAND SWORD” to “SUBCONSCIOUS”. Daiki Shimomura led everyone to do a big “Yeaoh!” shout after the match.

Super Sasadango Machine’s latest idea as manager of NωA was to elect a leader for the idol group. Makoto Oishi disliked the idea and though they were better off as three equals. Shunma Katsumata & MAO thought otherwise and a 3 Way Match to determine the leader went ahead. MAO thought he had it won when he hit the Screw High Kick and went for the pin. But Katsumata dove onto them with the Firebird Splash. MAO rolled out of the way but Katsumata still landed on and pinned Oishi. Sasadango said Katsumata becoming the leader is an interesting surprise.

0. King Of Dark Title: Sanshiro Takagi defeated Chikara with La Magistral Cradle (3:59).
*D1 for Chikara.
1. Mad Paulie & Gota Ihashi defeated Akito & MAO when Paulie pinned MAO with the Paulie Buster (8:37).
2. 3 Way Tag Match: Yukio Sakaguchi & Masahiro Takanashi defeated HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano and Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata when Sakaguchi pinned Katsumata with the Right Knee Of God (7:49).
3. Rock ‘N’ Roll Tag Death Match: Kazuki Hirata & Kazusada Higuchi defeated A.YAZAWA & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi when Higuchi pinned YAZAWA with the Doctor Bomb (12:44).
4. Hikaru Sato & Atsushi Aoki defeated Soma Takao & Kouki Iwasaki when Aoki submitted Iwasaki with the Cross Armbreaker (11:10).
5. Danshoku Dino & Keisuke Ishii defeated Kota Umeda & Mizuki Watase when Dino submitted Watase with the Lip Lock (10:22).
6. Daisuke Sasaki & Tetsuya Endo defeated Mike Bailey & Guanchulo when Sasaki submitted Guanchulo with the Cross Facelock (11:13).
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) defeated Toru Owashi with a 6 Reverse Horizontal Chop Barrage (19:58).
*V3 for Konosuke Takeshita. Toru Owashi cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Happy Motels kicked off the main event by challenging their sumo opponents to a triple sumo match. The sumo team were winning until some unexpected manoeuvres sent them out of the ring. Antonio Honda tried to do a Quebrada onto them but his foot slipped on the rope and he fell to the apron. Honda was targeted but Konosuke Takeshita came to the rescue and pinned Hoshintango with a Blue Thunder Bomb. He and Toru Owashi continued fighting after the bell and had to be separated. Happy Motels ended the show by posing for a picture with the mayor of Katsuragi City.

Danshoku Dino put up a stipulation for Match #5. If he and Keisuke Ishii won the match then Katsuragi City would be declared a Gay Town from now on. Kota Umeda hated the idea and said he will make Katsuragi a Drinking Town if he and Yukio Sakaguchi won. Dino won the match and politely greeted the new Gay Town afterwards. He thanked the Gay Town for supporting him.

Guanchulo got to team up with his mentor Dick Togo in Japan for the first time. They shared a moment when they both applied the Crippler Crossface to their opponents at the same time. However Soma Takao continued his strong form when he got the pin on Guanchulo.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2016 IN KORIYAMA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TAKASHIBADEKOYASHIKI~”, 18/07/2016
Koriyama City Southern Tohoku General Wholesale Center
213 Fans

1. Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata defeated Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Oishi pinned Hirata with the Jikiden Tornado Clutch (9:28).
2. Yasu Urano & Gorgeous Matsuno defeated Kota Umeda & Mizuki Watase when Urano pinned Watase with the Tombstone Piledriver (14:40).
3. Soma Takao defeated MAO with the Gin And Tonic (9:23).
4. Danshoku Dino & Keisuke Ishii defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Kouki Iwasaki when Dino pinned Iwasaki with the Danshoku Driver (11:17).
5. Daisuke Sasaki, Tetsuya Endo & Mad Paulie defeated Yukio Sakaguchi, Masahiro Takanashi & Guanchulo when Endo pinned Guanchulo with the Torture Rack Bomb (15:54).
6. HARASHIMA & Akito defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Antonio Honda when HARASHIMA pinned Honda with the Somato (19:19).

Tetsuya Endo’s defection to DAMNATION changed the last two matches of the card. The main event was changed from a 6-Man Tag to a regular Tag Team bout. Tetsuya Endo and Guanchulo were moved over to the semi-main event so Endo could team with his new stablemates. Daisuke Sasaki said Endo’s body and mind has fallen into DAMNATION. Meanwhile over in Happy Motels, Antonio Honda dyed his hair for the first time in 18 years.

Danshoku Dino had a request to help him prepare for his match with LiLiCo next month. He wanted Kazusada Higuchi to put on black eyeliner and black lipstick so he would look like LiLiCo. That way Dino can picture what it will be like to wrestle her. Higuchi was confused but complied with the idea. When he reappeared for the match with the makeup applied he received “LiLiCo!” chants from the crowd. After the match Dino was crying tears of joy over the experiment. He was so happy that Higuchi was willing to become LiLiCo to help him prepare for her. Higuchi wished Dino luck and pleaded with him to win the DDT Extreme Title.

Soma Takao has been relying on the Gin And Tonic finisher to win his matches. However he realises he may need a secret weapon to beat Hikaru Sato at Sumo Hall.

Takeshita Vs Endo, DDT Shilling Stuff, Takagi & KENSO Team (What Could Go Wrong?)

July 5, 2016

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM! VOL. 12”, 09/07/2016
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

1. When Case Take Anywhere! Owashi Siege Encirclement! 4 Way Match: Toru Owashi Vs Masa Takanashi Vs Yasu Urano Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga
2. Danshoku Dino, Keisuke Ishii & Gota Ihashi Vs Makoto Oishi, Shunma Katsumata & MAO
3. DAMNATION’s First Trio Match Stomping!: Daisuke Sasaki, Shuji Ishikawa & Mad Paulie Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Kouki Iwasaki & Guanchulo
4. Shigehiro Irie Vs Soma Takao
5. Infomercial Match – Dramatic Exercise Series: Super Sasadango Machine & Mizuki Watase Vs Kazuki Hirata & Saki Akai
6. Akito Comeback Match: HARASHIMA & Akito Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Kota Umeda
7. Konosuke Takeshita & Antonio Honda Vs Tetsuya Endo & Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi

The emergence of Tetsuya Endo challenging Konosuke Takeshita for the KO-D Openweight Title has created a small rift in Happy Motels for now. Antonio Honda is siding with Takeshita while Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi is siding with Endo. This leads to a tag team match between the two teams in Saitama.

DDT is using the Infomercial Match to shill their own exercise equipment. Kazuki Hirata & Saka Akai are two of the faces of the Dramatic Exercise Series brand.

With only two Right To Challenge Contracts left in play and one of them soon to be cashed in, Toru Owashi is now a targeted man. He’s been very patient when it comes to getting his title shot but with every upcoming match he risks losing that chance.

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2016 IN MAEBASHI ~DRAMATIC DREAM TONTON~”, 10/07/2016
Maebashi Green Dome Sub Arena

1. 3 Way Tag Match: Toru Owashi & Soma Takao Vs Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata Vs Akito & Nobuhiro Shimatani
2. Danshoku Dino, Kazusada Higuchi & Gota Ihashi Vs Yukio Sakaguchi, Masa Takanashi & Kota Umeda
3. Tetsuya Endo & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Keisuke Ishii & Guanchulo
4. Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Mad Paulie
5. Grudge Settlement! Avenge Kawaguchi In Maebashi! Maebashi Specialty Special Single Match: KENSO Vs Kazuki Hirata
6. Konosuke Takeshita & Antonio Honda Vs HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano

KENSO still has beef with Sanshiro Takagi and that will be sorted out later. But he also has Kazuki Hirata bothering him. Will he swat him aside or fall under Hirata’s dancing spell?

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2016”, 17/07/2016
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Soma Takao & Akito Vs Masa Takanashi & Kota Umeda
2. Danshoku Dino, Super Sasadango Machine, Antonio Honda, Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi & Saki Akai Vs Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata, Gota Ihashi, Guanchulo & Cherry
3. DAMNATION Vs NωA: Daisuke Sasaki, Shuji Ishikawa & Mad Paulie Vs Makoto Oishi, Shunma Katsumata & MAO
4. That’s Breaking The Rut! Saihai Of Super Talented GM Amon Tsurumi! Special Tag Match: Sanshiro Takagi & KENSO Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Mizuki Watase
5. Shigehiro Irie Send-off Match: Shigehiro Irie & Yukio Sakaguchi Vs HARASHIMA & Keisuke Ishii
6. Dick Togo Return Second Leg! Special Tag Match: Dick Togo & Yasu Urano Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Kouki Iwasaki
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo
*Tetsuya Endo will cash in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

Amon Tsurumi has kept an eye over the feud between Sanshiro Takagi and KENSO this year and decided to do something about it. Both wrestlers have been on a rut in DDT so Tsurumi came up with the bright idea of making them team together to break that rut.

DDT “DNA 19”, 06/08/2016
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

1. Kazusada Higuchi Vs Kota Umeda

The fight is on to determine who the top wrestler of DNA really is. Kota Umeda has gained a new fire ever since he came back from his recent absence.

DDT “PETER PAN 2016 ~MOST HOT SUMMER IN THE WORLD~”, 28/08/2016
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Special 6-Man Tag Team Match: Terry Funk, Sanshiro Takagi & NOSAWA Rongai Vs Great Kabuki, Yukio Sakaguchi & Kota Umeda
2. DDT Extreme Title: LiLiCo (c) Vs Danshoku Dino
3. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Ken Ohka & KAI (c) Vs X & X
4. KO-D Openweight Title – Watase Contra Watase: Konosuke Takeshita (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa

The winner of LiLiCo Vs Danshoku Dino not only gets the DDT Extreme Title but also Mizuki Watase. The loser can never touch Watase ever again. That would put a dent on his relationship with LiLiCo for sure!

*V1 for Konosuke Takeshita. Yuko Miyamoto cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

takeshita-beats-miyamoto

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

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

damnation

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

kai-tagwin

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

endo-wins-rtc

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

togo-return

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

somato-wins

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

yamashita-triumph

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

kisskiss-bangbang

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

watase-tugofwar

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

dino-setup

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

makiitoh-joshi

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

7. Matsuyama Specialty Special Tag Match: Yuko Miyamoto & HARASHIMA defeated Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo when Miyamoto submitted Takeshita with the Manji Cobra (17:12).

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

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

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

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

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

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

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU 2016 IN FUKUYAMA ~DRAMATIC DREAM TOMONOURA~”, 18/06/2016
Fukuyama Big Rose
555 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Kouki Iwasaki defeated Mao Inoue with the Leg Capture Suplex (6:05).
2. Makoto Oishi & Shunma Katsumata defeated Toru Owashi & Gota Ihashi when Oishi pinned Ihashi with a Front Rolling Cradle (7:00).

4. After The King Of DDT 2016 1st Round Petit Special Single Match: Keisuke Ishii defeated Yasu Urano with the High Angle Double Arm DDT (6:38).
5. Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo defeated Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi when Takeshita pinned Takanashi with the German Suplex (10:38).

7. King Of DDT Special! Hybrid 6-Man Tag Team Match: Soma Takao, Antonio Honda & Kazusada Higuchi defeated HARASHIMA, Shigehiro Irie & Kota Umeda when Takao pinned Umeda with the Gin And Tonic (14:25).

Soma Takao is still getting used to teaming with other wrestlers but since he was able to win that means progress is good.

Saki Akai was at the show for an autograph signing and greeted the fans when the show began. Danshoku Dino & Super Sasadango Machine came out and produced a spare Sasadango mask. They explained that Dino created this mask with a special power. The mask transforms the person wearing it into a Super Sasadango Machine! They put the mask on Akai and lo and behold, she turned into Super Sasadango Machinko! With this new power at their fingertips, the S.S. Machine Gundan can grow in numbers. Machinko reappeared for Dino & Machine’s match later that day. Dino’s influence could be seen when Machinko went around kissing women in the audience during their entrance. Kazuki Hirata saved Akai when he removed her mask and placed his Hirata GO! glasses on her face. Unfortunately Akai was thrown into Dino’s “Hell Gate” and Sasadango went on to beat Hirata. Dino & Machine then fled with their special mask.

Konosuke Takeshita said he and Tetsuya Endo learned a lot from wrestling Jun Akiyama and Yuma Aoyogi in All Japan during the week.

Keisuke Ishii beating Yasu Urano must have meant a lot to Ishii. In the post-match interview he rattled off all the previous times he lost a singles match to Urano in great detail. He said he lost to Urano on 24th January 2009, 23rd December 2011 and 13th October 2012. He didn’t hear what the match time was for today’s victory but he’s in a good mood anyway.

DDT “KING OF DDT 2016 OSAKA” Results

June 12, 2016

kingofddt-final4

DDT “KING OF DDT 2016 OSAKA”, 12/06/2016
Osaka Edion Arena #2
607 Fans – No Vacancy

0. Dark Match: Mizuki Watase & Nobuhiro Shimatani defeated Guanchulo & Heddi French when Watase pinned Guanchulo with a Back Drop (4:40).
*Mizuki Watase wins Guanchulo’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.
1. 4 Way Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki & Mad Paulie defeated Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi, Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki and Yasu Urano & Shunma Katsumata when Sasaki submitted Katsumata with the Cross Facelock (5:39).

4. King Of DDT 2016 – Round 2: Shuji Ishikawa defeated Soma Takao with the Splash Mountain (16:07).
5. All Asia Tag Team Titles: Isami Kodaka & Yuko Miyamoto (c) defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when Miyamoto pinned Dino with the Axe Guillotine Driver (11:59).
*V6 for Yankee Two Kenju. Yuki Miyamoto wins Danshoku Dino’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.
6. King Of DDT 2016 – Round 2: HARASHIMA defeated KENSO with the Somato (16:06).
7. King Of DDT 2016 – Round 2: Shigehiro Irie defeated Kazusada Higuchi with a Tazzmission (15:50).

The King Of DDT final four has been determined. In the quarter final matches Shigehiro Irie surprised everyone by tapping out Kazusada Higuchi with a Tazzmission. This is a new move in Irie’s arsenal and to tap out Higuchi with it is quite an achievement. HARASHIMA did everyone a favour and knocked KENSO out of the tournament. Shuji Ishikawa cut short Soma Takao’s post-Drift winning streak. And last but not least Tetsuya Endo bested Kazuki Hirata who claimed his Hirata GO! glasses were at full power. A lottery was held at the end of the show to pick who would face who at the semi final. Ishikawa had to leave early so Daisuke Sasaki represented him by wearing a cardboard cutout of his face. The semi final matches are HARASHIMA Vs Endo and Ishikawa Vs Irie.

The All Asia Tag Team Title match was overshadowed by an embarrassing situation for DDT. All Japan entrusted the belts to DDT during the week but they were accidentally left behind in Nagano after Saturday’s show. The referee for the match Kyohei Wada was angry that such a thing could even happen. Both Sanshiro Takagi and Amon Tsurumi apologised and took the blame for the mismanagement of the belts. Despite the absence of the belts, the championship match between Yankee Two Kenju and Guname Express went ahead as planned. Yuko Miyamoto scored the pinfall and won a Right To Challenge Contract to go along with a successful title defence. When Miyamoto had the contract explained to him by Isami Kodaka, he asked when the next KO-D Openweight Title match was supposed to take place. He was told the 3rd July in Hakata Star Lane. Miyamoto declared he will cash in his title shot for 3rd July and will go one on one with Konosuke Takeshita! However he was warned that the match will not go ahead if he loses a match and his contract between now and then.

Dick Togo made his first appearance in DDT since announcing his intentions to come back from retirement. He explained that for the last year his desire to wrestle again became louder and louder everyday. It became so big that he can no longer take it. He has only one life and he wants to live it by being honest with himself. So he decided now is the time for his return to the ring. He announced his first match back in DDT will be on 3rd July and he is also booked for several other dates throughout the summer including “PETER PAN 2016” at Sumo Hall on 28th August. His return match is a tag bout between himself & Antonio Honda Vs Yasu Urano & Guanchulo. Togo said DDT has changed dramatically since he was gone. He looks forward to hitting the new wrestlers who have come during his absence. He looks forward to hitting his disciples again. He even looks forward to hitting whatever unknown wrestlers he might get put in the ring with.

Another Right To Challenge Contract changed hands in the dark match. Guanchulo lost his contract to Mizuki Watase.
