6. HARASHIMA, Shigehiro Irie & Ken Ohka (w/ Idei Shiro) defeated Sanshiro Takagi, Antonio Honda & Keisuke Ishii (w/ Kurumi Naruga) when Irie pinned Honda with the Flying Sausage (15:31).

Back in February of this year DDT teamed up with Ring☆Dream for a special sponsored show in Shinjuku FACE. It was such a hit that they put together a second show right at the tail-end of the year in Korakuen Hall.

Sanshiro Takagi’s team were accompanied by model Kurumi Naruga for the main event. She cosplayed as Takagi’s female character from the game. Shigehiro Irie afterwards complained that his team didn’t get a beautiful woman to cosplay as his character. Instead he got Idei Shiro, one of the game’s artists. Amon Tsurumi then stepped in asking for Ring☆Dream to promote a third show with DDT. He also asked for a pretty cosplayer for himself. A third show was promised for next year.

The 5 Way Match consisted of wrestlers who already have characters in the Ring☆Dream game. The prize for the winner was for their character to be voiced by voice actress Noriko Hidaka. Danshoku Dino was originally supposed to participate in the match as his Ring☆Dream character Joshoku Dino after he was brainwashed by the idol unit backdrops but “she” refused to participate. “She” had no motivation to take part due to the amount of men in the match. Joshoku Dino snapped out of the mind control and became Danshoku Dino again. Now he was motivated to be in the match! He also defended the women from backdrops whenever one of the wrestlers criticised them for being old idols (each member is in their 50s). Dino won the match and convinced Makoto Oishi to love backdrops in the process.

The KO-D Tag Team Champions and the Wonder Of Stardom Champion worked great together in the mixed trios match. Io Shirai showed no fear when she had to wrestle with Yukio Sakaguchi. Tetsuya Endo put Kota Umeda away with a Buckle Bomb followed by the Sky Twister Press.

By winning the Battle Royal Akito will be the next wrestler added to Ring☆Dream. When asked what kind of pretty girl he wants his character to be, Akito said he wants her to be the cutest girl with biggest tits, like an F-Cup.

takeshita-deadlift

The KO-D Tag Team Titles have found a home again after almost a month and a half on the shelf. In the tournament final the New Generation Combination went against the joined forces of DDT and Big Japan strong style wrestlers. The Mix Of Danger obviously overpowered their opponents but couldn’t put them away. Konosuke Takeshita kicked out of a Fire Thunder from Shigehiro Irie then took control with a Frankensteiner and the Touchdown. Tetsuya Endo followed up with the Sky Twister Press for a nearfall. Endo held Yuji Okabayashi back while Takeshita hit the Deadlift German Suplex on Irie to win the titles. After the match Takeshita said he was happy to regain the titles after losing them back in February and then thanked Endo for teaming with him. Endo talked about when his injury took him out of action for four months shortly after losing the belts. He said they will be real champions when they begin defending the titles.

takeshita-kodaka

Isami Kodaka approached Takeshita afterwards to talk about their KO-D Openweight Title match on 3rd January. He told Takeshita that there was no confidence in his words and he will beat him just like he did Endo. Kodaka also said he is a real champion who cannot lose to the future of DDT.

ohka-leaves-ohkaempire

At first it looked like the match between HARASHIMA & Ken Ohka against Danshoku Dino & Super Sasadango Machine was going to be a friendly one. Sasadango had no Powerpoint presentation, instead he and Dino brought out cans of beer and offered a toast to their opponents. They requested the match to take place under Turn Based rules. Dino & Sasadango were allowed to attack whenever a Tomoyasu Hotei song was played. When the song changes to a B’z track then it is HARASHIMA & Ohka’s turn to attack. It turned out to be a trap when Dino & Sasadango both spat beer in their opponent’s faces and Hotei’s music began to start the match. They both hit their finishers on Ohka but HARASHIMA recovered in time for the save. The beer attacks continued when Dino hit a Moonsault on Ohka while spitting out his drink in mid-air. However the music then changed to B’z and HARASHIMA hit a Swan Dive Elbow followed by the Somato. Ohka then hit the Spear Of Flame on Dino to win the match. Ohka said that #OhkaEmpire has expanded from three members to five with the additions of HARASHIMA and KENSO. So it is now time for him to leave the group and move on to bigger things. #OhkaEmpire is still active and Ohka hopes it will grow larger. He just has other plans and problems over in Ganbare☆Wrestling to take care of. HARASHIMA will also stop teaming with them, his only reason is he’s “busy”.

kashin-beats-akito

The DDT Extreme Title match was fought under Amateur Wrestling rules with 3 count pinfalls, submissions, knockouts and countouts allowed. Kendo Kashin fought dirty but Akito was able to out wrestle him. He even added some salt to the wound by applying the Nagata Lock 1 with the salute pose included. Kashin got some unlikely help from Antonio Honda who handed him a steel can. Honda distracted the referee, allowing Kashin to attack Akito with the can. He then applied a Figure 4 Leg Lock and yelled at Honda to throw in the towel on Akito’s behalf but Akito fought out of it before Honda could do so. Kashin loosened his own shoelaces so when Akito applied an Anklelock, Kashin could slip his foot out of his boot and escape the hold. He then Cradled Akito to score his first defence of the title. Honda congratulated Kashin and prematurely thanked him for setting up a title rematch between the two. Kashin ignored Honda and said Yasu Urano is his next challenger. Urano came out and apologised to both Honda and Akito. He never thought he would get an opportunity to get a title match with Kendo Kashin but he wants to beat him for mistreating the Extreme Title.

shutendoji-toast

All members of Shuten-dōji got in the ring for a toast after Masa Takanashi & Kota Umeda won the 4 Way Match.

Yasu Urano used a lot of dirty tactics to beat Daisuke Sasaki. He threw Sasaki into the referee and then kicked him low. When the ref recovered all he saw was Urano rolling over Sasaki with a School Boy so he counted the pin.

t2hide-ultraman

DDT GM Amon Tsurumi was kidnapped by aliens during the opening show speeches. They also tried to lure away Sanshiro Takagi but he told them to wait until the second match. The leader known as Alien Magma brainwashed T2Hide’s opponents and ordered them to flog Tsurumi. T2Hide came to the rescue but the brainwashed team was ready for them and the two teams began fighting. Kazuki Hirata found the opportunity to start dancing on his own which prompted Alien Magma to ask if he even cared about rescuing Tsurumi. Hirata ignored him and continued dancing. Ultraman X arrived at ringside to fight Alien Magma and save Tsurumi while Takagi won the match for his team.

Yukio Sakaguchi was made to wear a reindeer headband by his tag team partners for the night. Saki Akai & Lady Beard also wanted him to wear a Santa hat and glasses but he refused. Late in the match when Sakaguchi was down on the mat, his partners placed the hat and glasses on his head. When he got up his opponents started laughing and calling him cute. They were too distracted to see Saki Akai dive onto them. Sakaguchi then finished them off while looking as jolly as he will ever be.

hello-darkness

Poor Gota Ihashi. He is now a three time King Of Dark Champion after being instantly pinned by Dai Suzuki. An immediate rematch also ended in defeat. Amon Tsurumi told him afterwards that the belt suits him best out of everyone in DDT.

Sanshiro Takagi gave a small speech at the end of the show about the year DDT just had. A lot of things happened both good and bad but there will be plenty to look forward to in 2016 including the next Sumo Hall show on 21st March.

tokyojoshititle

The Tokyo Joshi Championship belt was publicly displayed for the first time. The title is a white belt with a gold and pink plate with heart designs on it. Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima will fight to be crowned the first champion on 4th January in Korakuen Hall.

Soma Takao and Ken Ohka are the newest wrestlers to get gender swapped characters for the Ring☆Dream web browser game. One more DDT character will be added and it will be the winner of a Battle Royal taking place at the co-promoted DDT and Ring☆Dream show on 29th December.

tsukamoto-joins-basara

Big Japan wrestler Takumi Tsukamoto announced he is the latest signing for Pro Wrestling BASARA. Tsukamoto joined BASARA because he wants to learn more and more skills. Kodaka explained that his good relationship with Big Japan allowed this deal to happen.

Joey Ryan and LiLiCo were announced to appear on the 21st March Sumo Hall show.

Akito said he is mentally preparing for whatever crazy rules Kendo Kashin will come up with for their DDT Extreme Title match this Wednesday.

Ken Ohka was frustrated by his defeat to Masa Takanashi. He claimed afterwards that Takanashi didn’t beat him, he beat himself.

Tetsuya Endo thinks he is bouncing back from his failure to win the KO-D Openweight Title. He is taking what he learned from that match and putting it into this week’s Tag Title match.

Sanshiro Takagi brought out a lightsaber for Match #2. He warned the audience that Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake were part of the Imperial Army! Sasaki denied those claims. Trouble began when Sasaki accidentaly struck his partner with his elbow. Miyatake stormed out of the ring and said he was going to join the Dark Side. The lights dimmed and suddenly the Imperial March started playing. Miyatake reappeared in the ring with a lightsaber in his hand and a paper Darth Vader mask covering his face! He and Takagi then had a lightsaber duel. Miyatake won the duel and turned his attention to Tomoya. The Hokkaido native fought off Miyatake’s use of the Force and defeated him with his S.O.D. finisher.

#OhkaEmpire explodes… Kind of. Ken Ohka has been left out of the group’s attempts to win back the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. He and his new buddy HARASHIMA might go their own way if this problem can’t be settled.

Does Ultraman dance? We may see a bunch of Ultramen dance.

2. Saki Akamiya Vs Akane Miura
3. Tokyo Joshi Title: Shoko Nakajima Vs Miyu Yamashita

The event will also feature the debut of three new wrestlers: Yu, Marika Kobashi and Nodoka Onesan.

Yu is 156cm high, was born on 19th July and is from Chiba. She became a fan of DDT when she was in elementary school and took up judo because she was too young to train for pro wrestling. She said it is a dream come true to enter the ring.

Marika Kobashi is 154cm high, was born on 17th May 2001 and is from Kanagawa. She is a fan of Big Japan and wanted to become a wrestler after seeing one of their local events. She is the first signed wrestler in the entire DDT company to be born in the 21st century.

Nodoka Onesan is 145cm high, was born on 7th June and is from Okayama. She became a wrestling fan by reading the manga 1·2 no Sanshirou. Her gimmick will be based on the “Older Sister” trope from Japanese children’s TV shows (Waracchao! on NHK is an example). She hopes this character will attract children to Tokyo Joshi and turn them into fans.

7. Hakata Specialty Mixed Unit Special Tag: Shigehiro Irie & Konosuke Takeshita defeated HARASHIMA & Yukio Sakaguchi when Takeshita pinned Sakaguchi with the German Suplex (19:11).
8. KO-D Openweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) defeated Tetsuya Endo with the Isamuashi Zan (21:59).
*V1 for Isami Kodaka.

Isami Kodaka put away the young Tetsuya Endo in his first KO-D Openweight Title defence. Endo went high risk when he tried to do the Torture Rack Bomb from the top rope but it was countered into a Frankensteiner. Endo somehow had some fight left in him after that but Kodaka kept up the pressure until Endo stayed down. There were no hard feelings between the two afterwards and both said it was a fun match. Kodaka welcomes another challenge from Endo in the future but he warns that he will crush him again. Konosuke Takeshita caught Kodaka’s attention and threw down the challenge for the next title match. After a discussion with Amon Tsurumi the challenge was accepted for 3rd January!

Akito is now the No. 1 Contender for the DDT Extreme Title. His submission style was too much for Antonio Honda to take and a clever Arm Trapped version of the Scorpion Deathlock made Honda submit. Akito will get his title match against Kendo Kashin on 23rd December. He is interested in Kendo’s idea to wrestle under modified amateur rules with three count pinfalls.

#OhkaEmpire learned the hard way that Batten X Burabura is not a good replacement for Ken Ohka. Everytime Kazuki Hirata put on the HIRATA GO! glasses and began dancing, Super Sasadango Machine would stop him with the Lehmann Shock. When the move was attempted for the third time Hirata countered it into his Miracle Cradle for the sudden win. Sasadango & Danshoku Dino demanded another title rematch. Amon Tsurumi told them Ohka was too busy to team with them and Burabura was too useless to deserve another chance. Suddenly KENSO walked out to again challenge Sanshiro Takagi to a match. Tsurumi instead decided to make KENSO team with #OhkaEmpire and go after the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. Dino is pleased. KENSO isn’t.

Saki Akai opened the show to speak about how enthusiastic she is to defend her Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. But as she spoke Cherry snuck into the ring and gave her a School Boy to become the new champion. Akai was able to get the title back by winning the Battle Royal later in the show. Cherry snuck up to her again after the match but this time Akai fought her off. Akai thinks Cherry’s recent obsession over her and the title is an age thing.

Pop idol Maki Ito was embarrassed to be eliminated so quickly from the Battle Royal. She approached Makoto Oishi after the match and asked him to be her wrestling teacher. Oishi wasn’t interested but she pestered him until he said yes.

There has been some concern over Dai Suzuki’s lack of matches since he debuted in DNA last November. So it’s come of no surprise to see him as the new King Of Dark Champion. Amon Tsurumi is concerned because this means he may be forced to book less King Of Dark Title matches due to Suzuki’s limited schedule. Tsurumi even shouted advice and encouragement to Suzuki over the microphone during the match. He didn’t even care if Suzuki cheated by bringing in a chair. The plan backfired and Kouki Iwasaki won the match to get rid of the title. Tsurumi threw the belt at Suzuki in disgust afterwards.

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM! VOL. 7”, 12/12/2015
Saitama Kasukabe Hall
350 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

5. Sanshiro Takagi & Toru Owashi Vs KENSO & Seiya Morohashi ended in a No Contest when two referees were trapped in a locker (9:59).
6. 3 Way Match: Antonio Honda & Tetsuya Endo defeated Isami Kodaka & Ryota Nakatsu and Akito & Yasu Urano when Honda pinned Akito with the Diving Fist Drop (13:11).
7. KO-D Tag Team Titles Tournament – Round 1: Yuji Okabayashi & Shigehiro Irie defeated HARASHIMA & Ken Ohka when Irie pinned Ohka with the Beast Bomber (19:47).

The big lad team of Yuji Okabayashi & Shigehiro Irie were too strong for HARASHIMA & Ken Ohka. Ohka in particular wasn’t in 100% shape and had to wrestle with bandages wrapped around his stomach. It didn’t make taking a bunch of Lariats any easier for him. A Beast Bomber put him down and out. Okabayashi & Irie will now face Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo for the vacant KO-D Tag Team Titles on 23rd November. Takeshita & Endo are still sore from losing the titles to Okabayashi & Daisuke Sekimoto back in February. They are determined not to lose the belts to Okabayashi again.

Tetsuya Endo & Antonio Honda both go into Hakata on a wave of momentum. Honda pinned Akito to give him the upper advantage in their No. 1 Contender’s match for the DDT Extreme Title while Endo is now ready for the KO-D Openweight Title match against Isami Kodaka. Honda said soon they will both be champions!

Things were heated between Sanshiro Takagi and KENSO. Takagi made it his goal to stick KENSO in a locker and throw him out of DDT. He is so determined to do this his actually hid a locker beneath the ring and took it out during the match! The two fought to throw each other into the locker but in the end Daisuke Kiso was thrown in instead. Yukinori Matsui tried to intervene but he was thrown into the locker too. KENSO closed the locker and the match had to be called off. He demanded another match with Takagi but Amon Tsurumi came out with a bunch of wrestlers to drag KENSO out of the arena.

The next KO-D Title match after 13th December will take place on 3rd January.

GANBARE☆WRESTLING “WHITE BREATH 2015”, 23/12/2015
Saitama Wrestle Fighter Museum

Ganbare☆Wrestling is still reeling from the betrayal of Yukihiro Abe joining Tomodachi-gun. Abe was randomly picked to be kicked out of Ganpuro when they were defeated in a Loser Leaves Town match. Abe unreasonably blames Ken Ohka and the rest of Ganpuro for dumping him and has joined their enemies to get revenge.

An announcement will be made at the show about the Ganbare☆Wrestling Grand Prix 2015.

From out of nowhere Ganpuro revealed it will be presenting a few matches for the RIZIN Martial Arts EXPO in Saitama Super Arena’s Community Hub. The expo takes place from 29th to 31st December in the build up to the RIZIN FIGHTING WORLD GRAND-PRIX 2015 on New Year’s Eve.
