DDT “SAITAMA SLAM SPECIAL! 2015 ~TELETAMA BROADCASTING 1ST ANNIVERSARY~” Results

March 21, 2015

ibushi-yoshihiko

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM SPECIAL! 2015 ~TELETAMA BROADCASTING 1ST ANNIVERSARY~”, 21/03/2015
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) defeated Yoshihiko with the Phoenix Splash (18:56).
*V1 for Kota Ibushi.

DDT returned to Kasukabe Hall to celebrate their one year anniversary of running shows in the venue. The main event was a rematch of one of DDT’s most infamous KO-D Openweight Title matches in recent memory. Kota Ibushi defended his championship against Yoshihiko in their first singles match since 2009. The challenger had been very aggressive to Ibushi in the build up to the match. Here it refused to shake hands before the match began. It also wrestled in a T-shirt which makes me wonder if Yoshihiko was in bad shape today. Yoshihiko did what it could to Ibushi. Piledrivers, Dangerous Back Drops, Brainbusters, Dragon Suplexes. It even countered Ibushi’s Phoenix Plex into a Hurricanrana! All this did was build up Ibushi’s meter and the champion unleashed a devastating top rope Power Bomb Driver followed by the Swan Dive German Suplex! Ibushi then hit the Phoenix Splash and it was the end for Yoshihiko’s title chances. Both fighters were wiped out after the match but Ibushi grabbed Yoshihiko’s hand and showed his respect. Ibushi was told his next defence will be on 29th April against the winner of the Battle Royal section of the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere match. He also has an IWGP Heavyweight Title match against AJ Styles before then. Ibushi said he hopes to defend his title and that the next time he is in Saitama he will be a double champion!

What is up with the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles? The list of short title reigns continue after Team Drift lost the belts back to Shuten-dōji in their first defence. Shigehiro Irie asked for a rematch. Masa Takanashi said no but KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi said yes, so another match is on the way.

An 8-Man Tag Team Elimination Match was sponsored by Television Saitama Co., Ltd, or Teletama for short. DJ Nira got a taste of success when he eliminated MIKAMI with a Rocket Punch that sent MIKAMI out of the ring. However Nira eliminated himself seconds later when he somehow slipped while climbing to the top rope and fell to the floor. Konosuke Takeshita and Antonio Honda both wore headgear in the shape of Teletama’s mascot and together danced to Teletama’s theme song to power up and win the match. Their prize is they will soon get to produce a video of themselves singing the theme song for Teletama.

I guess due to legal reasons DDT censors the name of Kazuki Hirata’s theme song in its show report. It is instead written as “●O●●O ●O!” while the Battle-News website writes it as “T●KY●,G●!”

Saki Akai is starting to show some growth in her wrestling career. In her pre-match video she admitted she was originally only going to wrestle for one year but has since become determined to regain the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Aja Kong. And she wants to do it as a DDT wrestler rather than as a guest celebrity. Unfortunately she still has a lot of work to do as Kong was still too much of a challenge for her to overcome. Kong complained about a lack of strong challengers to fight until Gota Ihashi suddenly ambushed her with his King Of Dark Title belt. Akai surprisingly defended Kong and stopped Ihashi with a High Kick. Kong knocked out Ihashi with the Uraken and despite being annoyed by what just happened, thanked Akai for helping. Kong then granted Akai a future rematch for the Iron Man Title.

Danshoku Dino is continuing his latest mission: to turn every town he visits into a “Gay Town”! It begun with Fukushima and today Saitama was his target. Sugaru Miyatake wanted to stop him but couldn’t after falling foul to the Gotch-Style Danshoku Driver.

The DDT Extreme Champion was not in attendance but he did leave a message for Akito about their title match next week. X wants to wrestle in a Total Count Match. It is a ten minute Ironman match and a point is scored for every second you pin your opponent. If there is a tie at the end then it will be sudden death with one more point needed to win.

Kazusada Higuchi & Kouki Iwasaki both qualify for the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Battle Royal on 29th March.

A Road Wrestling match will be held in Izuguranparu Park, Saitama on 15th April. The match is Sanshiro Takagi & Jun Kasai Vs Gota Ihashi & Suguru Miyatake Vs Danshoku Dino & Saki Akai Vs Kota Ibushi & Daisuke Sasaki.

Ibushi Prepares For Yoshihiko & AJ Styles, Mitomi Masayuki Comeback

March 18, 2015

Kota Ibushi’s run in New Japan just keeps getting better. After winning the New Japan Cup last weekend he now has an IWGP Title against AJ Styles match at Sumo Hall on 5th April. If Ibushi beats Yoshihiko this Saturday then the New Japan main event is guaranteed to be IWGP Champion Vs KO-D Champion, a first for New Japan and DDT’s relationship.

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM SPECIAL! 2015 ~TELETAMA BROADCASTING 1ST ANNIVERSARY~”, 21/03/2015
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

0. Dark Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Ryota Nakatsu & Kota Umeda
1. Yasu Urano & Akito Vs Tomoya & Shunma Katsumata
2. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake
3. Teletama Presents Infomercial Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi, Kazuki Hirata & MIKAMI Vs Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita, Tomomitsu Matsunaga & DJ Nira
4. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – Do It Or Die! – Special Single Match: Aja Kong (c) Vs Saki Akai

6. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie & Soma Takao (c) Vs KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi & Masa Takanashi
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) Vs Yoshihiko

So DDT has put up a fact sheet and list of career highlights for Yoshihiko before his KO-D Title match with Ibushi. Apparently Kurt Angle gave plenty of praise when he saw footage of Yoshihiko attacking Ibushi and laying down the challenge. When Ric Flair watched the same clip he just said “This is wrestling!” Also of note is Yoshihiko feels strongly about getting the 5th April IWGP Title shot if he beats Ibushi.

He was suspended from Union and DDT for bad behaviour on Twitter and then got himself injured while wrestling on a micro indie show a week later. He will be teaming with Daisuke Kanehira from Pro Wrestling HEAT-UP for his comeback.

DDT “GORGEOUS NIGHT ~GANBAROU FUKUSHIMA~”, 15/03/2015
Fukushima National Athletic Meet Commemoration Gymnasium
1,300 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

6. Gorgeous Matsuno, Antonio Honda, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo defeated KUDO, Yukio Sakaguchi, Masa Takanashi & Tomomitsu Matsunaga when Endo pinned Matsunaga with the Sky Twister Press (18:53).

A moment of silence was held at the beginning of the show in tribute to the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake.

In the pre-match video of the main event, Gorgeous Matsuno sang a song about how alcohol is bad. This angered the Shuten-dōji team. During their interview Yukio Sakaguchi swore he would strangle Matsuno and Tomomitsu Matsunaga said he was going to crush his throat. Luckily Matsuno was teaming with Happy Motels and together they were victorious. After the match Matsuno asked his teammates how old they were. Konosuke Takeshita said 19, Tetsuya Endo said 23 and Antonio Honda said 12. Matsuno noted he will be 54 in April and he will continue to work hard inside the ring.

Danshoku Dino said he wanted Fukushima to be turned into a gay town. Sanshiro Takagi objected and said he wanted it to become a nudist town for Suguru Miyatake instead. That was the story of Match #4.

Matsuno’s partner, the “Fukushima Diva” Junko Tashiro performed a song during the show. She also sang a duet with Matsuno at the end.

Shu Shibutani is hoping to win the Fly To Everywhere Title just over a month before she retires from pro wrestling. The new champion Cherry wants to protect her belt at any cost and does not want to lose it to somebody who is on the verge of retirement.

Hiroshi Fukuda has bulked up and gained some weight while he was recovering from his injury. He wants to put his body to the test with a match against Madoka but Naomi Susan is convinced Fukuda just wants to get near Harumi Tachibana.

Right To Challenge Returns

March 9, 2015

DDT “SAITAMA SLAM SPECIAL! 2015 ~TELETAMA BROADCASTING 1ST ANNIVERSARY~”, 21/03/2015
Saitama Kasukabe Hall

0. Dark Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Ryota Nakatsu & Kota Umeda
1. Yasu Urano & Akito Vs Tomoya & Shunma Katsumata
2. Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi Vs Daisuke Sasaki & Suguru Miyatake

7. KO-D Openweight Title: Kota Ibushi (c) Vs Yoshihiko

Saki Akai gets one more good shot at regaining the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title from Aja Kong. That is if Kong is still the champion.

The winning team in the dark match will qualify for the Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Battle Royal on 29/3.

DDT “JUDGEMENT 2015”, 29/03/2015
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. King Of Dark Title: Gota Ihashi Vs Gorgeous Matsuno
1. Toru Owashi & Hoshitango Vs MIKAMI & Shunma Katsumata
2. Sanshiro Takagi 20th Anniversary Falls Count Anywhere Match: Sanshiro Takagi & Jun Kasai Vs Kota Ibushi & Suguru Miyatake
3. Next KO-D Tag Team Titles Challenger Final: Keisuke Ishii & Shigehiro Irie Vs KUDO & Yukio Sakaguchi
4. Next KO-D Openweight Title Challenger And Right To Challenge Anytime, Anywhere Battle Royal: HARASHIMA Vs Yasu Urano Vs Makoto Oishi Vs Masa Takanashi Vs Daisuke Sasaki Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga Vs Soma Takao Vs Antonio Honda Vs Konosuke Takeshita Vs Tetsuya Endo Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs DJ Nira Vs Hiroshi Fukuda Vs X Vs X
5. DDT Extreme Title: X (c) Vs Akito
*X is Shiori Asahi.
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi (c) Vs Danshoku Dino & Super Sasadango Machine

The time has come for my favourite DDT match to take place again. The Right To Challenge Battle Royal is a combined Royal Rumble and Ladder Match. The winner of the Rumble portion becomes the No. 1 Contender for the KO-D Openweight Title. However there are usually extra prizes hanging over the ring which is where the ladder comes in. In recent years the prize has been Money In The Bank style contracts that allow the holder to get a title match at any show they want. However there are also extra stipulations used to keep the contract holder on his toes. For example, last year the contract could change hands like a title if the holder was directly defeated in any match he wrestled in. The rules change or get altered every year so we won’t know for sure what the prizes and conditions are until right after the match.

The Drift Vs Shuten-dōji feud has extended itself into the regular tag team division. The two sides will collide again with a future KO-D Tag Team Title shot on the line.

Sanshiro Takagi will celebrate 20 years in wrestling with a good old fashion Falls Count Anywhere Match.

I think this is the first time anywhere a champion has been labelled as X.

HARD HIT “~NEVER GIVE UP~”, 04/04/2015
Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Kenta Hattori Vs Kouki Iwasaki
2. Nobuhiro Tsurumaki Vs Tomomitsu Matsunaga

Hard Hit returns with a Dradition Vs Pancrase main event.

KEI Yamamiya is from the GRABAKA gym and is a former King Of Pancrase Light Heavyweight Champion. Nobuhiro Tsurumaki is representing Super FMW.

Yukio Sakaguchi will also be in action.

DDT “YAROZ VOL. 2” Results

March 3, 2015

guyz-ueki-miyatake

DDT “YAROZ VOL. 2”, 03/03/2015
Shin-kiba 1st RING
172 Fans

1. Ryuichi Sekine defeated Gota Ihashi with the Combine (7:00).
2. Ganbare☆Wrestling Offer Match: Ken Ohka defeated Tiger Bedscene with the Spear Of Flame (8:46).
3. Bra & Panty From Bubble Match: Suguru Miyatake Vs Takayuki Ueki ended in a No Contest (10:32).
4. Shuji Ishikawa & Kazusada Higuchi defeated Antonio Honda & Ryota Nakatsu when Ishikawa pinned Nakatsu with the Running Knee Lift (14:10).
5. YaroZ Army Vs Ikemen Army – Audience Lumberjack & Fans Bring The Weapons Death Match: Sanshiro Takagi, Toru Owashi & Shigehiro Irie defeated Jiro Kuroshio, Madoka & Hiroshi Fukuda when Irie pinned Fukuda with the YaroZ Bomber (14:43).

B-boys Brother Mon & Brother Tommy returned with their YaroZ event in Shin-kiba to go against the BOYZ show happening at the same time in Shinjuku. While BOYZ is exclusively for women, the audience at the YaroZ show was exclusively men. The YaroZ Vs BOYZ dynamic was further pushed with a Bastards Vs Pretty Boys main event. The attendance number for the show proves the plan didn’t work. BOYZ outdrew them by over triple.

Sanshiro Takagi and Hiroshi Fukuda traded insults at the start of the show. Takagi got so angry he wanted the main event 6-Man Tag to be an Audience Lumberjack match and any item the fans gave them could be used as weapons. The fans got a chance to be even more involved when Takagi invited them to be involved in the Train Attack on Fukuda. Even the Samurai! TV cameraman got involved! Shigehiro Irie finished the job with the Beast Bomber and the crowd yelled “Go Home!” at the defeated pretty boy team.

The Bed-In Girls Mai Chusonji and Kaori Masukoji were involved with the Suguru Miyatake Vs Takayuki Ueki match. The women took sides and acted as managers while the wrestlers were not allowed to touch them. The women slowly took off their clothes during the match until they were down to their bra and panties. Hirata and Ueki spent more time fighting their urges than fighting each other as the women did their striptease. The temptation eventually proved too much and on seperate occassions both wrestlers tried to grope the girls. The lights dimmed and the girls stripped Miyatake of his wrestling tights, leaving him with a fan to cover his modesty. Ueki then pulled out a handgun and threatened to arrest Miyatake for his obscene display. The match was declared a no contest.

Gota Ihashi channelled the spirit of UWF for his match against Ryuichi Sekine. Fat lot of use that was for him. Sekine outstruck him and made him tap to the Combine.

*Shuten-dōji fails in V1. Team Dream Futures become the 17th KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions!

Shuten-dōji’s reign as KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Champions was quickly cut short in Osaka today. Team Dream Futures beat them in their first defence of the titles to become 4 time champions. Yukio Sakaguchi immediately called for a rematch. Amon Tsurumi decided that a rematch for the belts will happen in Kasukabe Hall on 21st March.

Yoshihiko interfered in Match #4 and attacked Kota Ibushi again! Yoshihiko jumped on Ibushi and gave him a Hurricanrana followed by a Dragon Suplex. With Ibushi out of the picture Tetsuya Endo went ahead and pinned Suguru Miyatake with the Sky Twister Press. Yoshihiko simply stood on the apron and stared at Ibushi.
