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

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

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

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

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

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

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

DDT “MEMORIES OF SUMMER VACATION 2013”, 25/08/2013
Shinjuku FACE
506 Fans – Super No Vacancy

0. Dark Match: Guanchulo defeated Michael Nakazawa with a School Boy (5:40).
1. 4 Way Match: MIKAMI defeated Hikaru Sato, Masa Takanashi and Tomomitsu Matsunaga when MIKAMI pinned Matsunaga with a School Boy (5:46).
2. Kota Ibushi & Gota Ihashi defeated Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Ihashi pinned Hirata after Ibushi Power Bombed Ihashi onto Hirata (10:52).
3. Konosuke Takeshita defeated DJ Nira with the Touchdown (9:03).
4. Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Takao Soma defeated Yukio Sakaguchi, Makoto Oishi & Akito when Soma pinned Oishi with the Gin & Tonic (10:41).
5. HARASHIMA, KUDO & Yasu Urano defeated Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki & Hoshitango when Urano pinned Hoshitango with a Cradle (14:29).
6. DDT Extreme Title – T-back Table Match: Danshoku Dino defeated Kenny Omega (c) with the Fighto Nipatsu off the T-back into a table (21:46).
*Kenny Omega fails in V5. Danshoku Dino becomes the 23rd DDT Extreme Champion!

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

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

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

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

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN KUMAMOTO” Results

June 13, 2013

DDT “ROAD TO RYOGOKU IN KUMAMOTO ~DRAMATIC DREAM VERMICELLI SOUP~”, 13/06/2013
Kumamoto Prefecture Hall
184 Fans

1. MIKAMI defeated Michael Nakazawa with the Swanton Bomb (7:35).
2. Hikaru Sato & Yukio Sakaguchi defeated Akito & Tetsuya Endo when Sato pinned Endo with a High Kick (9:01).
3. Sanshiro Takagi & Yuto Aijima defeated Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki when Aijima pinned Honda with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (11:31).
4. Crazy Independent Tag Team Match: Kota Ibushi & TAKA Michinoku defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when Ibushi pinned Oishi with the Sit Down Last Ride (9:00).
5. DDT Extreme Title – Two Count Penalty Match: Kenny Omega (c) defeated Masa Takanashi with a Dragon Suplex (17:08).
*V3 for Kenny Omega.
6. HARASHIMA, KUDO & Yasu Urano defeated Shigehiro Irie, Keisuke Ishii & Takao Soma when KUDO pinned Soma with the Diving Double Knee Drop (16:10).

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.

6. DDT Extreme Title – TLC Falls Count Anywhere Street Fighter 2 Match: Kenny Omega (c) defeated Isami Kodaka with the One-Winged Angel (26:19).
*V3 for Kenny Omega.

Let it be known, the Kamehameha cannot beat the Hadouken. Kenny Omega defeated Isami Kodaka in a chaotic TLC Falls Count Anywhere match. After the match Kenny thanked Union for the fun he had wrestling there and said goodbye, leaving with the DDT Extreme Title. Nobody was nominated to be the No. 1 Contender so it is possible the championship will return to DDT full time in the future. Kodaka was very upset he could not win. He was raised to be a Union Warrior but felt he wasn’t good enough to represent them. Naomi Susan gave him words of encouragement and promised he will get to do fun things with wrestling. The Nazo Fukumen tried to attack the Union Sekigun after the show but they were easily dismantled.

It took eight years but Cherry has finally become a Union champion after winning the Fly To Everywhere Title from Kaori Yoneyama. It was a 3 Way Elimination match with Nazo Fukumen B also involved. The masked woman was eliminated early when interference from Nazo Fukumen A backfired and got her Speared by accident. Cherry was then able to pin Yoneyama with the Fantasy Illusion. Although the 38 year old considers herself an enemy to young people, she has learned it is important to accept her age and not let that get in the way of her dreams.

Kyohei Wada had the honour of trying to officiate the mess that was the Aipoke World Title decision match. Everyone involved wanted to win the attention of idol Aino Kishi but FUMA seemed to be the most enamoured with her. Things went bad for FUMA when Sanshiro Takagi and Jun Kasai began calling him a smelly virgin as they hit him. Hiroshi Fukuda stole the win after pinning FUMA with a School Boy. Fukuda proposed to Kishi afterwards but she turned him down, explaining that Kyohei Wada is more her type. Fukuda wanted to kiss her so she would change her mind but he was slapped unconscious instead. Meanwhile, Shigehiro Irie could be seen in the bleachers dancing along to Kishi’s exit music “Banana Mango High School” by Ebisu Muscats. Your KO-D Champion, ladies and gentlemen…

Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang were able to immobilise SAGAT with a mystical sealing ward until Ryu Gouma came to the rescue and freed him from the trap. SAGAT cleared got revenge on Shiryu by biting him in the neck. After winning the match, Gouma legally declared SAGAT a human being even though he still looked and acted like a Chinese vampire. That’s not all, Shiryu began to jump and hop like a vampire when he regained conciousness.

Street Fighter 2: TLC Falls Count Anywhere Edition

April 27, 2013

isami-kamehameha

UNION “GOLDEN UNION 2013”, 03/05/2013
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Dark Match: Gabaiji-chan Vs Saint Seiya Rion Vs El Hijo del Goro
1. Ryu Gouma & SAGAT Vs Choun-Shiryu & Cao Zhang
2. Nazo Fukumen A, Nazo Fukumen M & Nazo Fukumen K (w/ Nazo Fukumen P) Vs Kengo Ohka, Madoka & Menso~re Oyaji
3. Aipoke World Title Decision – Idea Pocket Special 3 Way Match: FUMA Vs Sanshiro Takagi Vs Jun Kasai Vs Hiroshi Fukuda
4. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title – Triple Threat Match: Kaori Yoneyama (c) Vs Cherry Vs Nako Fukumen B
5. Special 6-Man Tag Team Match: Shuji Ishikawa, Yoshiaki Fujiwara & Daichi Kazato Vs Daisuke Sekimoto, Great Kojika & Hideyoshi Kamitani
6. DDT Extreme Title – TLC Falls Count Anywhere Street Fighter 2 Match: Kenny Omega (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

The stipulation for the DDT Extreme Title match has been decided. Isami Kodaka won the Extreme Title in a Tonkaichi, Ladders & Chairs Match against El Generico over a year ago. He wanted to face Kenny in the same match but with tables instead of the giant hammer. However since Kenny is a Street Fighter, a Falls Count Anywhere rule is now added to the match. Isami revealed he has learned the Kamehameha to counter Kenny’s Hadouken. He thinks the Hadouken has a fatal weakness that the Kamehameha does not possess. The ladder Isami wants to use is claimed to be 1.5 times higher than the type he usually uses in matches. It is a ladder high enough to poke the heavens.

The Nazo Fukumen group believe their token female member will win the Fly To Everywhere Title and they compared it to the Battle of Sekigahara, a decisive battle that was fought in 1600. The Triple Threat match will be first fall to a finish.

Choun-Shiryu demonstrated a weakness of the recently converted Chinese vampire SAGAT. When Shiryu sticks a mystical sealing ward onto SAGAT’s forehead, the vampire freezes on the spot. Now knowing that he can render one of his opponents useless, it will make his mission to transform Ryu Gouma into a vampire easier. China has many problems right now so Shiryu wants to have a lawyer under his control if anything goes wrong. That’s why he wants to turn Gouma into a vampire.

Seiya Morohashi, who was forced to withdraw from Union after losing a Mask Contra Withdraw match at the last show has been begging for his job back. He might be added to the dark match.

*V3 for UraShima. Yasu Urano wins Keisuke Ishii’s Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) defeated Makoto Oishi with a Cradle (6:11).
*V1 for Shigehiro Irie. Makoto Oishi cashes in his Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract.

A busy day for the wrestlers who held a Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Contract. Yasu Urano regained possession of a contract by pinning Keisuke Ishii in the main event, also defending his KO-D Tag Team Title with HARASHIMA in the process. But the big story was Makoto Oishi winning a contract from Akito and later cashing it in to challenge Shigehiro Irie for the KO-D Openweight Title. Despite having just wrestled and lost in the main event, Irie was able to defeat Oishi and register V1 for his title run.

The team of Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi has not blended well together since forming. Their defeat to the Monster Army today was caused when Owashi accidentally knocked out Takagi with a Lariat.

7. Idea Pocket Presents – ALL or NOTHING: “Val Venis” Vs “The Godfather”

USA has struck a partnership deal with the AV company Idea Pocket. Part of the deal involves Idea Pocket presenting their own match for USA’s first show. It’s becoming very clear at this point that USA will not be a PG promotion. All I can gather is the match will be between “Val Venis” and “The Godfather”. Judging by the translation, it sounds like there are going to be a harem of Val Venises and a ho train of Godfathers taking part in the match.

6. DDT Extreme Title – Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match: Kenny Omega (c) Vs A.YAZAWA

Kenny Omega still has the DDT Extreme Title around his waist but he will get another tough defence coming up. A.YAZAWA has the advantage since the Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match is his speciality.

DDT “APRIL FOOL 2013”, 13/04/2013
Shinjuku FACE

KO-D Openweight Title: Shigehiro Irie (c) Vs Yukio Sakaguchi

Sakaguchi presents a fresh challenge not just for Irie but for KO-D Championship matches in general. Hikaru Sato was the last person with a shootfighting background to win and compete for the title. No disrespect to the guy but it looks like Sakaguchi outranks him in that area. However, Sakaguchi has only just recently begun to understand and fit into the crazy world of DDT and he hasn’t faced anyone like Irie. A victory for the new champion would make a strong statement from the get go.

While Kenny Omega is busy wrestling around Europe and North America, he mailed a letter to DDT naming his next challenger for the DDT Extreme Title. In order to increase the value of the belt, there is one man Omega really wants to fight. That man is Antonio Honda. Honda was honoured to be chosen but turned down the match, claiming he is suffering from chronic love sickness. The good news is Honda knows the perfect guy to take his place, A.YAZAWA! That’s not all, the match will be a Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match!

Team Dream Futures get a shot at the KO-D Tag Team Titles at this show. Both Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie are looking forward to the match. Ishii has wanted to defeat HARASHIMA & Yasu Urano for months now but HARASHIMA’s recent injury put a stop to that plan. Now that HARASHIMA is back, Ishii gets his chance to destroy Ura-Shima-Kudo. Shigehiro Irie could be going into his home city as the KO-D Champion and is motivated to become a double champion. HARASHIMA feels he has become stronger from healing his injury and wants to crush the challengers.
