HARASHIMA continues to dominate in DDT and now finds himself as a Triple Crown Champion! He defeated Antonio Honda in a triple title match. HARASHIMA defended his KO-D Openweight and Iron Man Heavymetalweight Titles while Honda put his DDT Extreme Title on the line. It was a chance for Honda to bring out his best for the championship just like he did against GENTARO and Dick Togo over two years ago. But HARASHIMA proved too strong and was the last man standing. After the match HARASHIMA told Honda he is amazing and thanked him for a fun match. Amon Tsurumi approached the champion and asked him who he wanted to face in Korakuen Hall on 17th November for a KO-D Title match. However, HARASHIMA instead wanted to defend the DDT Extreme Title and he wanted to defend it against Honda! The two shook hands to confirm the rematch.

Akebono may be the new AJPW Triple Crown Champion, but he had more pressing matters to deal with today in DDT. That’s right, he had to defend the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles! He, Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi were able to beat Team Dream Futures to mark their second defence of the titles. Takagi said Team Drift were strong but were also stunk as opponents. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi showed up afterwards to challenge the champions and Akebono was not happy to see Dino. Since Akebono will be busy in All Japan, Takagi arranged a Six-Man Tag Team match between himself, Owashi & Kazuki Hirata against Dino, Oishi & their currently unknown partner to determine if they will be No. 1 Contenders. Dino told Akebono he is looking forward to facing him. Akebono then told Takagi to “Please win!”

The Golden Lovers have become the No. 1 Contenders for the KO-D Tag Team Titles after winning the 3-Way Tag match. They will face Yuko Miyamoto and the new BJW Death Match Champion, Isami Kodaka at the 17/11 Korakuen show.

Saki Akai told Mio Shirai after their tag match that she does not play around. She told the crowd that she was really happy to wrestle here because she was born in Osaka and her father competed and even retired in this building. She promised to be stronger when she returns. She also thanked Yukio Sakaguchi for encouraging her and wants to team with him again.

Popularity power can only take you so far. Danshoku Dino earned his place in the main event by winning the 2013 DDT48 General Election. He put his Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title on the line against HARASHIMA, with his KO-D Openweight Title up for grabs as well. Dino dug deep but was not strong enough to dethrone the champion. However, he kept fighting until he could not do so anymore. HARASHIMA got near falls with the Somato. Dino got one last chance shot with the Gay-do Clutch but HARASHIMA kicked out and followed up with a Running Knee Lift. Dino collapsed and the referee called for the match to end in HARASHIMA’s favour. Dino was dejected after the match and hid his head under his hands sadly reminding himself that he won the DDT48 Election.

The dreaded Rock-Paper-Scissors tournament made a surprise return after the main event. The 18-person tournament was done to determine the No. 1 contender for the KO-D Title. Antonio Honda was the last man standing and he will face HARASHIMA for the KO-D Title in Osaka on 2th November. Sanshiro Takagi appeared to officiate the semi finals but couldn’t do the final due to muscle tension. Luckily Ryota Yamasato, the Nankai Candies member who was involved with DDT’s Sumo Hall shows this year was in the audience and stepped in to judge the final.

Some bad blood between Kota Ibushi and Hikaru Sato was rekindled after the semi-main event. The two brawled with each other even though the match was over. The match itself spilled out of the ring and into the crowd, highlighted by Ibushi Moonsaulting onto Sato from one of the spectator entrances.

Hiroshi Fukuda defeated Konosuke Takeshita with a little help from his tambourine. Afterwards he happily thanked everyone and Takeshita for the match, then told Takeshita that there is no need for two people in the entertainment industry to be nicknamed “The Future”. He will now take the name solely for himself. Takeshita shut him up with a Dropkick but Fukuda was still able to have the last word. “Perfect…”

There was a problem with the DDT Extreme Title match. Antonio Honda and Super Sasadango Machine both arrived to the building feeling incredibly tired. When the time came for the champion Honda to decide what the rules of the match should be, both he and Sasadango fell asleep in the ring. When it became time for the match to begin Amon Tsurumi made the decision himself and made it a Sleep Prevention Death Match where the goal is to make your opponent fall asleep for three seconds. A futon was placed in the ring and the lights dimmed as the match began. Sasadango gave Honda a Suplex onto the futon for a “two count”. Honda then put Sasadango in a Sleeper Hold for another “two count”. An energy drink was brought into the ring only for the spokesperson to Lariat both wrestlers and Hulk out afterwards. Honda got to the energy drink first and then knocked off Sasadango’s mask with a Diving Fist Drop, revealing him to be Muscle Sakai. Sakai recovered and hit Honda with a Missile Dropkick. He did one more but landed on top of the futon where he fell asleep. Honda gently pulled the duvet over Sakai for the “three count” and successfully defended his DDT Extreme Title. After the match Honda thanked the fans for coming to see the show or for watching it on Samurai! TV and said the match felt like he was in a dream.

After Super Sasadango Machine woke up, Saki Akai appeared and said she will team up with Yukio Sakaguchi for a mixed gender tag match in Osaka on 11th November. Amon Tsurumi titled their match the Eagles II Rocky Of Naniwa II Tag.

Isami Kodaka, Makoto Oishi and Yasu Urano together yelled “We are KAIENTAI DOJO!” before their match with the Team Dream Futures. The three wrestlers all began their careers in K-DOJO before eventually finding their way to DDT and Union.

Tetsuya Endo announced he will return to action on 27th October after recovering from a dislocated shoulder.

Tokyo Women’s Wrestling announced a new trainee, Ayumi Takada. She will debut on their first proper show in Kitizawa on 1/12.

The dark match had everyone involved break into song midway through the contest.

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.

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.

7. DDT Extreme Title – 3 Way Match: Danshoku Dino (c) Vs Kenny Omega Vs Antonio Honda

A 3 way grudge has built up between Danshoku Dino, Kenny Omega and Antonio Honda over the DDT Extreme Title. After Dino won the belt from Omega, he had his first defence against Honda. Omega demanded to be added to the match and when he was denied, he interfered in the match attacking both men and ultimately stopped Honda from becoming champion. A Triple Threat match is the solution. Hopefully we get a match stipulation that determines once and for all who should be the champion.

The HARASHIMA Vs Yasu Urano build up continues with UraShimaKudo splitting into two teams for a match.

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.

*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.

The rules for the DDT Extreme Title between Kenny Omega and Masa Takanashi match was a penalty was put in place whenever a pinfall resulted in a two count. A new penalty replaced the old one after every two count. After the first nearfall, Kenny had his arms tied together. Next nearfall, Kenny had to wear a blindfold. When Masa got his first two count, both wrestlers then had to wear a blindfold. The audience helped guide them towards each other but they still had trouble, mostly when Kenny threw Masa towards the ropes and then did a Dropkick into thin air. Masa then attacked both Daisuke Kiso and Michael Nakazawa at ringside, thinking they were both Kenny. They fled outside the ring and upon hearing the noise, Kenny dove at them through the ropes while still blindfolded. With the referee down, Masa took off his blindfold, stole Kiso’s referee shirt, put it on himself and guided Kenny towards Kiso. Kenny pinned Kiso, Masa counted to three and then he attacked Kenny as he was celebrating what he thought was his victory. Yukinori Matsui ran down to the ring to sort out the confusion but that led to him and Kiso officiating the match at the same time. Each ref called a two count when Kenny and Masa exchanged pinfall attempts so they decided both wrestlers had to have their hands restrained and their ankles bound together. Omega finally won when he was somehow able to give Takanashi a Dragon Suplex for the three count.
